Kamala Harris's never-ending border dodge

 

[...] rather than go through Harris's various statements, it might be a good idea to take another look at her way of avoiding any substantive discussion of her record on what is one of the top three issues in the campaign — the border.

About 40 minutes into the event, a man named Justin rose and said to Harris, "When you become president, what would be your specific steps to strengthening the border?"  It was one of the few real questions of the day.

 

"So it's a wonderful and important question," Harris said.  [...]

What an IDIOT.  Clay Travis said the other day that we have never had a prospective Pres/VP combination as stupid as Kommie/Walz.  This cements it.

Tim Walz Manages to Implode Harris Campaign With One Truthful Line That's Likely to Become Trump Ad

 

[...] One of the things that is most challenging for Kamala Harris is how to paint herself as a "change agent," when she's part of the Biden-Harris administration.  Most Americans find that the administration has been a failure, and don't want four more years of it.  So, what does she do when she is the effective incumbent?

 

Harris and her running mate Tim Walz are bizarrely trying to paint former President Donald Trump as the incumbent, and themselves as the "new way forward."  It's basically trying to turn reality on its head.  [...]

Iranians for Trump!  Yes, Really.

 

It turns out that, in the history of Twitter, now X, the most-liked Farsi (Iranian) language post on that platform came from a source that may surprise you - Donald Trump.

 

The post reportedly says in part:  "I have stood with you since the beginning of my presidency and my government will continue to stand with you."

Now, among the members of the Iranian diaspora - people who oppose the rule of the mullahs in Iran, many of whom fled the country after the Islamic revolution - are forming an "Iranians for Trump" movement.  As unlikely as that sounds, it makes more sense than one might think.  [...]

I agree with telling her (and CNN) to stuff it.

Donald Trump Tells Kamala Harris What to Do With Her Latest Debate Challenge

 

Kamala Harris is once again challenging Donald Trump to a debate.  This time, the vice president wants to duke it out on CNN on October 23rd, over a month after early voting has already started.

 

She made that announcement on social media, quoting a post from CNN's Kaitlan Collins.  [...]

This and the Iranian outreach posted earlier suggest pretty deep thinking by the campaign.  Comments?

Trump Promises Federal Recognition of Lumbee Tribe in NC Speech—and It Could Matter in November

 

It is perhaps belaboring the obvious to note that the United States hasn't always given the original inhabitants of much of our territory a fair shake.  That's history, and those people are long gone now - but some members of the lesser-known native groups are still fighting for recognition.  One of these is North Carolina's Lumbee tribe, which is recognized by the state of North Carolina but not by the federal government.

 

At a rally in North Carolina on Saturday, former President Donald Trump promised to sign legislation granting the Lumbee federal recognition.  [...]

JD Vance on Kamala Harris:  'Every Time' She Does an Interview, 'I Think We Pick Up 100,000 Votes'

 

[...] Kamala Harris, when she attempts to speak, is an absolute train wreck.  Her word salads are legendary; her delivery is stilted and awful, interspersed with her annoying, nervous cackle.  She attempts to come across as smart and well-informed but ends up sounding about as thoughtful as a plate of beans negotiating their way out of someone's digestive tract.

 

JD Vance knows this.  On Saturday, at a rally in Pennsylvania, the Republican vice presidential candidate claimed that the Trump campaign is hoping that Harris tries to speak more often, observing that they pick up votes every time Kamala bombs a speech or interview:  [...]

'We Can't Afford Another Four Years Of This!' Shouts Running Mate Of Candidate Who Has Been Leading Country For Four Years

 

BETHLEHEM, PA — The Democratic candidate for vice president issued a stern warning to Pennsylvania voters at a campaign rally today, telling the crowd that the country will not survive four more years of his running mate, who has been leading the country for four years.

Levitation 101

 

[...] exactly two months ago, Joe Biden raised his sleepy head in Rehoboth Beach and announced his departure from the campaign but not, pointedly, from the presidency.  (Will that happen before January 20, 2025?  I wonder.)

 

No sooner had the public begun to get its head around that surprise than they were hit with an even bigger one:  Biden's replacement would be Vice President Kamala Harris.  How did that happen?  Who voted for her?  Shhh!  Some questions are mood breakers, and it was clear from the get-go that the Harris campaign was going to have to depend heavily, some experts say nearly exclusively, on mood.  [...]

The 'scared majority' could deliver a landslide victory for Trump

 

[...] For this election, I believe a new phenomenon is going to drive the vote for the Republicans and most especially for former President Donald Trump: the "scared majority" vote, which will actually show up at the polls.

 

I grew up in abject poverty as a child, and most of my contacts to this day are those in the working class or lower.  While the entrenched elites from politics, academia, the C-suites, Hollywood and the media who live in bubbles of luxury and protection won't notice, those Americans have never been more scared in their lives.  Not only about their future, but about their present.

 

Those I speak with on a regular basis tell me they have never been so frightened about circumstances out of their control.  Circumstances they believe were deliberately and politically exacerbated by the Democrats and most especially by the Biden-Harris administration.

There is something going on.  These times do not feel like the others for the working class.  They feel much more foreboding.

 

There are now so many "canaries in the coal mine" on this issue that they need to take a number to chirp out the first warning.  [...]

He already had MI in the bag. But this will make it even harder to cheat! What is more interesting is what this will do for NY, NY has a muslim population 3x bigger than MI and she was already doing terrible there. I think NY might flip red. And if NY goes, many others go with it.

Depends how big the "scared majority" is -- see a couple of posts above.

It's huge. People are afraid or too annoyed to publicly state they are Trump supporters. Either their handful of liberal neighbors will torment them, or some ** that works for the city drives by and notes your address in the category 'property tax up next year because Trump supporter'. Also, people are sick and tired of having to get into heated discussions with people and are frustrated trying to explain why the country is turning into communist China. So they don't say much. The town I live in is red, the whole county is red. Everyone keeps quiet because the hatred from the hardcore democrats is real and people don't have the patience to deal with it anymore. I posted in a group for my county that I just moved here and was looking for people who would like to go on hikes and knew a good denominational Bible group. I got a private message from one of the dems living here, trying to get me to her church:
 

Quote

"I wanted to let you know that asking for kin-denominational bible study will usually get you the real right-wingers, Christian nationalists —-the scary Americans!!! The Presbyterians are great and I wanted to steer you that way if you’d rather avoid the right wingers!!! But this county is very « red » politically and I didn’t want to offend my neighbors by saying that publically!!"

 

It's funny how they automatically think immigrants are liberals. I replied that I might be scarier than her neighbors  and that I loved this place and LOVE Trump. And she had just sent a friend request that I accepted so you can imagine she is still thinking about how she can get rid of me in a polite manner, HAHAHA. But that is how dems think about their conservative neighbors which is why the scared majority won't speak up other than casting their ballot on November 5th. Interesting though was Virginia. First day of early voting the republican turnout was huge, the democrat less than half that. That is an interesting sign, because usually it's the dems who vote early en masse.

Honestly I am surprised that the Muslim community used to vote mainly democrat in the US. You would say that hardcore Muslims would rather see a conservative president.
