Secret Service Didn't Give Trump Extra Security Because It Didn't Want to Spend the Money – RedState

The Biden administration wasted trillions of dollars on puffery like DEI, pronouns and the green new deal. The result was the worst inflation in US history using historic metrics.
You're telling me that the one area the Biden administration didn't want to spend money was Trump's Secret Service protection? Yeah, I can believe that. //

Consider this: If Trump had not run this time, the SS would have needed to protect some Republican nominee as well as protecting Trump as a former president, so the SS would have needed two security details. They should gave been able to afford to provide both those SS details to Trump. //

"We're not going to burn through our budget — all the extra overtime, all the extra travel, all these extra agents and resources — so that Trump can have all of these rallies every week,'"
I don’t see a problem here. Think of all the money they must be saving with both Biden and Harris hiding in the White House basement!😂
The fact of the matter is that the most effective weapon the right has against Harris’ campaign is comprised of a 10-word question: “Can you name one thing she did as vice president?”

KAMALA — UNSCRIPTED FOR THE FIRST TIME:
"This is just an extraordinary testament to the importance of having a president who understands the power of diplomacy and understands the strength that rests in understanding the significance of diplomacy."
WHAT?
12:02 AM · Aug 2, 2024 //
In other words, Kamala Harris is so inauthentic in public because she's so psychotic behind closed doors. This is a woman who made interns address her as "general." She's also been reported to be extremely hostile to staffers, including verbally abusing them with profanity. As Van Laar notes, there is a reason that Harris has seen 92% of her staff turnover since becoming vice president.
From the creepy cackle that appears at the most random times to Harris' reliance on mindless repetition in her speaking, it's all a symptom of someone who is desperately trying to present herself as something she's not. In other words, it takes actual effort for her to not be the person she is behind closed doors because that person could never win a presidential race.
Gov. Gavin Newsom—endorsed for his 2018 election bid by then-Sen. Kamala Harris, who said at the time, “What we do here is role model of what can be done around the country”—is a centerpiece of the story. //

👏👏👏 CONGRATULATIONS to @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom !!
With today’s announcement that @Chevron, 2nd biggest energy company, is relocating its headquarters from CA to Texas, you’ve reaffirmed how CA is “a model for the nation” — a model for economic devastation.
Thanks to you &… Show more
11:12 AM · Aug 2, 2024 //
This is the “model for the nation” that Newsom and Harris want to bring to every state. We can’t let that happen.
According to Harris' spokesperson, guess who's somehow responsible for their bad jobs report?
"Donald Trump failed Americans as president, costing our economy millions of jobs, and bringing us to the brink of recession," Harris for President spokesperson James Singer said in a statement. //
Ultimately, it always comes down to the economy and Harris just gave a sure-fire reason why you should not vote for her, when she refuses to take responsibility for the administration's own actions. //

She’s just using the Joe B playbook, lie and assume that the media will agree and the public is stupid.
One part of the video @joerogan was talking about Kamala; on another part of the video, he was talking about me. MSNBC combined it together to make it look like everything said was about Kamala and that he was endorsing her. Of course this is completely false. //
What's really serious here is that, not only does Joe Rogan deserve an apology, there's actually something bigger at stake here. This is yet another example of how MSNBC is working hand in glove with the Democrat Elite and the Kamala Harris campaign to try to spread lies....
Is nothing sacred anymore? Who brags about their own political record at someone else's funeral? And who cheers for that person as they are doing so? It's just such a foreign concept to me (and likely most of you).
The Democrat thirst for power knows no limits, though. They will use any opportunity to boost their prospects, no matter how inappropriate. In other words, they play for keeps, and in an environment where there are no consequences for anything they do, can you blame them?
Ten days. It's been ten days since Kamala Harris was anointed as the Democratic Party's Chosen One to replace the failing Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential election. She has not won one primary vote, but the Democrats waved their hands over her and she's the candidate.
And since this happened, she has not given one unscripted press conference. //
Review senior writer Noah Rothman asked his social media followers on Wednesday, "When is Kamala Harris going to hold a press conference?"
Here's a hint, Mr. Rothman: She won't, for as long as she can get away with it. An open, unscripted press conference in which she would (presumably) be required to answer questions off the cuff would be to Kamala Harris as a crucifix is to Dracula. //

At the root of it all, in addition to being stupid she is also lazy. We all know someone who is just "a natural" when it comes to speaking/communicating; Mike Rowe and Guy Fieri come to mind. It seems so effortless and comfortable for them. Others of us need to prepare and prepare and prepare. Que-Mala is too lazy for that, and we see the results.
Historian Gertrude Himmelfarb once wrote, “What was once stigmatized as deviant behavior is now tolerated and even sanctioned; what was once regarded as abnormal has been normalized .… As deviancy is normalized, so what was once normal becomes deviant. The kind of family that has been regarded for centuries as natural and moral — the ‘bourgeois’ family as it is invidiously called — is now seen as pathological.”
The Democrats are taking a bet that Americans are far more willing to embrace men who think they are women and men who dress as dogs to have sex than a veteran married to an Indian woman with mixed-race kids who thinks perpetuating humanity and the nation is a good thing.
It is the logical end of deviancy becoming normal. When Democrats think J.D. Vance is weird and Rachel Levine is not, we reach a tipping point in the direction of the nation.
For the next 100 days, every conservative should focus on the Word-Salad Queen and her defense of Biden. The focus must be on her and her full-throated covering for Biden. She claimed that Biden was brilliant. She claimed he ran circles around staff and policy wonks. That was a pernicious lie. She knew that Biden was a cognitive mess. She admits that she met with Biden on an almost daily basis. She hid the undeniable, inescapable fact that Joe Biden was a shell of himself even four years ago. She hid his decline for political profit at the expense of the country. She lied. Repeatedly.
Next, conservatives must repeat her policy positions. Her policy positions are not moderate, they are a leftist’s wet dream. Harris is not a moderate. She never has been. She is Bernie Sanders in a pantsuit and not nearly as adept at presentation as Bernie.
And, finally, Kamala Harris is a deer in the headlights without a teleprompter. She will implode when she tries to defend Biden’s record and her own positions. Harris is sentient, but she is stunningly bad at public speaking. Her word salads are albatrosses around her shoulders. //
It’s been often stated that whoever is the focus this November, that person will lose. Biden's administration was a trainwreck. Let that be the talking point. //

Offense all day. Take any interview and as soon as they ask their ridiculous question. Pivot and attack Kamala. Accuse her of the worst economy ever. The worst treatment of women ever. The worst treatment of muslims blacks and gays . The worst treatment of kids. Blame her directly for the stabbingdeath of nutiple girls. Dont worry about details/facts. Let them play defense and when they do ask them why. Every repub needs the memo. You dont go on shows to answer ridiculous premises only to attack. //

Inflation was 1.4% in January 2021 when Joe Biden took office.
What’s hilarious is you just admitted you’re making it all up. If you can make all the inflation claims you have, shouldn’t you know all those numbers?
You want to do spending, moron? OK, let me point you to more facts.
From 1 January 2021 through 31 December 2023 the Biden cabal spent $19.23T. From 1 January 2017 through 31 December 2020, the Trump administration spent $19.09T. That means Biden spent more money in three years than Trump spent in FOUR YEARS!
By the way, the Biden administration started their spending binge in March 2021 with the American Rescue Act, following that in August 2021 with the Infrastructure Bill, and continuing with the Inflation Reduction Act in August 2022.
Here’s where I do what you never do; I provide a source reference. I’ve told you before that every time you try to lie about an objective fact, you prove you’re a lying moron. 🤡
Four short episodes I would like to share of his month-long internship for Kamala Harris:
Senator Harris vocally throws around “F-bombs” and other profanity constantly in her berating of staff and others. The staff is in complete fear of her and she uses her profanity throughout the day.
As Attorney General, Senator Harris instructed her entire staff to stand every morning as she entered the office and say, “Good Morning General.”
Never once during the month-long internship did Harris introduce herself to our son (as he was only in an office with 20 paid employees) and staff was too intimidated by her to introduce him. The only acknowledgment was a form letter of “thanks” signed by Harris given to him on his last day of service.
Gregory was also given instructions to never address Harris nor look her in the eye as that privilege was only allowed to senior staff members. //

Variations of this quote have been attributed to a number of individuals:
"You Can Easily Judge the Character of a Man by How He Treats Those Who Can Do Nothing for Him."
Trump is well known for being exceptionally kind to low-level employees and perfect strangers.
Venezuela’s national Electoral Council announced late Sunday night that Dictator President Nicolás Maduro received 51% of the vote to win reelection.
Edmundo González, Maduro’s opposition, supposedly only got 44% of the votes despite leading Maduro by 25% in the polls.
Once again, the Biden administration looks weak because it made numerous concessions to Venezuela if it promised to hold free and fair elections.
I mean, imagine even THINKING a dictator would ever consider holding an election that could get him kicked out. Precious.

The Biden-Harris administration brilliantly bent the knee to Venezuela’s dictator in exchange for a “promise” of “free and fair elections.”
Today, Maduro stole the election.
The worst foreign policy minds in American history have struck again.

Kamala Harris has failed her way upward farther than any other 59-year-old woman, with the help of a few male politicians she smarmed. She is attractive to many and non-threatening.
At heart, however, Harris is a radical leftist who’s left no detectable trail of actual accomplishments anywhere – except getting elected in predictably Democrat California.
She’s shown no signs of even mediocre management skills; more than 90 percent of her staff has quit since 2021.
Her 2020 primary bid cratered before a single vote was cast. She reportedly does little to no homework for public appearances. It shows. She looks unserious.
Harris’ judgment is seriously suspect for a wannabe leader of the free world. When the prime minister of Israel, America’s main Mideast ally confronting Iran, visited the White House last week, Harris chose instead to speak to a sorority convention in Indiana. //
Harris’ speaking style comes from the Prof. Irwin Corey School of Rhetoric. Her remarks are replete with impressive words assembled in nonsense order, pauses as if she’s crafting deep thoughts, big hand gestures to distract from empty words, and a laugh that resembles something else.
She also often relies on condescension. (That means talking down to people like this.) //
Trump has called Harris “a lunatic,” which she isn’t. He needs to leave the cheesy attack stuff to JD Vance and outline his own recharged vision for the country’s future, which conveniently would enhance his presidential stature to swing voters.
And be careful in his public remarks. There is a double standard in U.S. politics that is not fair but very real. While women have long encountered a glass ceiling in politics, they also need to appear respected in confrontations with men, even if it's undeserved.
Bullying is counter-productive, and condescension can be lethal. //
Even after four years of covering for a failing man who kept calling her the president, what Harris has going for her is a fresh face, her age (59), and not being Donald Trump.
Harris even handed the worrisome age issue back to Republicans. Trump would be 82 at his term’s end, older than Biden now.
Trump revulsion remains strong among millions. It was key to Biden’s win four years ago. With a flailing Biden atop the 2024 ticket, Democrats likely gave up hope of finally terminating Trump’s presence inside their heads. Many would have thrown away their vote on a third party or stayed home on Election Day, which would cripple down-ticket Democrats.
Not anymore. No one should disregard or underestimate the power of that energizing factor. It could fade. Or endure. //
What ought to concern GOP strategists is that right now, even after the messy coup and before the anticipated big bounce, Harris is surprisingly close to Trump, perhaps ahead.
Democrats pulled a switcheroo with Joe Biden, knowing they were going to go down to defeat with him, after his disastrous debate made it impossible to hide his cognitive decline anymore.
Democrats are trying to whip up excitement over Kamala Harris. But are they going to be in any better position with Harris?

Black Men this is your reminder that in 2010 Kamala Harris extended the sentence of Caramad Conley for a murder he didn't commit. Nearly 20 yrs of his life gone.
In 2007, she also sent Jamal Trulove to prison for six years for a murder he didn't commit.

She has no policy, no record to stand on. One of the biggest thing she did in her career is lock up more black men than ever before, but we sit here and vote her in office on identity politics… We did that during the Obama Administration and he didn’t do anything for black people…" //
Kamala Harris does not have the Black vote locked up, and this anointing and lack of examination of who she is and her record is going to have the opposite effect of pushing Black voters away.
The spot is "narrated" by Harris, but it’s clear that it’s done by either using an AI voice generator or by splicing together audio clips to make it sound like she said things she obviously didn’t. Mr Reagan intersperses those sections with real footage of Kamala making a fool out of herself without the aid of advanced technology. //
I, Kamala Harris, am your Democrat candidate for president because Joe Biden finally exposed his senility at the debate. Thanks Joe...
I may not know the first thing about running the country, but remember: that's a good thing if you're a deep state puppet. I had four years under the tutelage of the ultimate deep state puppet, a wonderful mentor, Joe Biden. //
Joe taught me rule number one: carefully hide your total incompetence.
I take insignificant things and I discuss them as if they're significant. And I believe that exploring the significance of the insignificant is in itself significant. [Cut to actual footage from an event:] Talking about the significance of the passage of time, right? The significance of the passage of time. So when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time. [Cuts to a different portion of those remarks:] And there is such great significance to the passage of time. //

‘The public deserves answers for how this Executive Order is being implemented, particularly as VP Harris becomes the new nominee,’ Rep. Bryan Steil said. //
President Joe Biden may have left the presidential race, but “Bidenbucks” lives on.
And you can bet your federal tax bill that the Biden administration will be revving up the taxpayer-funded, get-out-the-vote machine for not-so-accidental candidate Vice President Kamala Harris.
“I think they definitely will,” Hans von Spakovsky, a former member of the Federal Election Commission and manager of the Heritage Foundation’s Election Law Reform Initiative, told me in an interview this week. “I think what they’re doing is an unlawful use of federal taxpayer dollars, and I don’t think any president has the right to do it.”
Documents obtained by the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project expose federal agencies working with left-wing activist groups in targeting traditionally Democrat voters to cast mail-in ballots for Biden’s No. 2 in November’s election. And there appears no slowdown in the constitutionally suspect initiative now that Biden has withdrawn from his reelection run and endorsed his leftist lieutenant.
Dem Rep. said FEC chair’s presentation of federal law might “sow misguided doubt and confusion about the state of the presidential election.” //
The Trump campaign filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) on Tuesday challenging the transfer of funds and reportedly calling it “the largest campaign finance violation in American history.”
In the complaint, Trump campaign General Counsel David Warrington reportedly contended that the $91.5 million in campaign funds originally raised by Biden’s presidential campaign cannot be transferred to Harris, who has yet to be named the official Democrat nominee.
Biden and Harris are “flagrantly violating the [Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) of 1971, as amended] by making and receiving an excessive contribution of nearly one hundred million dollars, and for filing fraudulent forms with the Commission purporting to repurpose one candidate’s principal campaign committee for the use of another candidate,” Warrington reportedly wrote in the complaint.
