The Democratic Socialists of America claimed credit for Walz being picked in a thread on X.

Harris choosing Walz as a running mate has shown the world that DSA and our allies on the left are a force that cannot be ignored. Through collective action, DSA and the US left more broadly have made it clear that change is needed. DSA members organized in our workplaces and unions to realign the labor movement to support Palestinian liberation.

The Uncommitted movement, in which DSA members played crucial roles nationally and in multiple states, pressured the Democratic establishment into choosing a new candidate and backing down from a potential VP with direct ties to the IDF and who would have ferociously supported the ongoing genocide in Palestine. //

But what the DSA is telling us by this is that they seem to believe Walz was the more left-wing choice. That tells you everything you need to know about him, because they sure don't sound like they think he's a "centrist," as the media is trying to pitch him.

You know the power I have as a prosecutor is that with the swipe of my pen, I can charge someone with a misdemeanor for the lowest level offense possible. And by virtue of that swipe of my pen, you will have to go to a courthouse and stand in line. You will have to come out of pocket and hire an attorney. You may get arrested for a few hours. You will be embarrassed in your community. You will miss time from coming onto the Google campus.

All because with the swipe of my pen, I've tried to charge you with a crime. Which I may choose to dismiss two weeks later. //

That may or may not have been her intent, but her swaying comportment and her excitement at talking about her magical powers are nevertheless chilling.

Those who contend that she was merely arguing in favor of prosecutorial discretion miss a key point: the kind of harassment she talks about is exactly what we’ve seen for three and half years out of the Biden/Harris Justice Department. They selectively prosecute enemies based on their political affiliation, and have waged a relentless, corrupt campaign against their number one foe, GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump.

... I could smell the burning tires, and that was -- that was a very real thing. And I kept the windows open for as long as I could because I felt like that was such a touchstone of what was happening." //

In those first days, Walz's daughter, Hope, made sure rioters knew that the National Guard was not going to be deployed on the night of May 28 so they could continue their rampage. //

By their words and actions, it's clear that the entire Walz family stood in solidarity with the anti-American hooligans who sought to destroy the businesses and homes of the people in Minneapolis who could least afford to have their neighborhoods destroyed, ...

In an exclusive breaking story, several Federal Air Marshal whistleblowers have come forward with information showing that former U.S. Representative and Presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard is currently enrolled in the Quiet Skies program. Quiet Skies is a TSA surveillance program with its own compartmentalized suspected terrorist watchlist. It is the same program being weaponized against J6 defendants and their families. Quiet Skies is allegedly used to protect traveling Americans from suspected domestic terrorists. //

Air Marshals were first assigned to Gabbard on Jul. 23, a day after she criticized Kamala Harris, Biden, and the National Security State in an interview with Laura Ingraham. FAMs were mobilized on Jul. 24 and assigned to their first flight with her on Jul. 25.

DESANTIS: Well, here's what I would just say generally. The election needs to be about the fact that Kamala Harris is an unacceptable choice for president of the United States. Doesn't matter what you thought before. Now, she cannot be president for a variety of reasons. I've articulated some. I know the campaign has done other.

Any other energy spent talking about anything else, I think, is playing on the Democrats' turf. They want the election to be about something that the VP candidate said five years ago or something that happened ten years ago. If we're arguing on that, then the Democrats are in a better spot. This is about Kamala.

She is not equipped to be president. That's why Obama didn't endorse her right out of the gate, because he knows that. Now it looks like she's corralled the nomination, but we can't act like she's somehow an acceptable choice. She's the most left-wing nominee that we have had in this country in at least fifty years. //

DeSantis is 100% right here. We all must stay focused on Harris. She is not acceptable as president. She is that bad. I mean, I hate Obama, but he was at least competent at what he did even if everything he did was awful. Harris will be bad at everything she does and she'll make huge mistakes. She'll be far worse than even Biden was. That must be the message.

Republicans -- ALL Republicans must stay on message about that.
No, don't call her puerile names. No, don't bring up her flip-flopping race claims. No, don't even bring up her using sex to gain power. Let surrogates do that.

For all pundits, politicians, Trump staff, and Trump/Vance themselves, it must be about how incompetent Harris is and what a disaster her Vice Presidency was and how influential she was with the Biden administration. That's evidence of how bad she will be as president.

US Vice President Kamala Harris hailed the latest jobs report and praised ‘Bidenomics’ at an event in Washington, D.C. https://reut.rs/47wSDr1

7:10 PM · Aug 4, 2023. //

The Federal Reserve has raised interest rates in a constant effort to combat inflation. Typically, when you start raising interest rates at that pace, it leads to a recession. I say "typically" because it hasn't happened yet, and many economists assumed the Fed had pulled off the soft landing. However, the sudden contraction in the jobs market has brought those worries back to the fore, and people are panicking.

If the Biden-Harris administration was taking credit for the economy a year ago, then it should be made to take credit for it now. In truth, Biden's policies did create the sharp rise in inflation that we as consumers are still dealing with. In truth, that rise in inflation led the Fed to start hiking rates, which forced the economy to begin to contract. In truth, this has led us to where we are today.

But if we're going to be accurate, when Kamala Harris went into the United States Senate, it was AP that said she was the first Indian American United States senator. It was actually played up a lot when she came into the Senate. Now she's running nationally. Obviously, the campaign has shifted. They're talking much more about - about her father's heritage and her black identity.

It doesn't really matter. The president mentioned it. What he also talks about far more frequently is the fact that Kamala Harris is the person who created this massive inflation which is destroying black families, white families, Hispanic families. It's her failure as border czar that has left our southern border wide open. More than 10 million illegal immigrants coming into our country. Record fentanyl coming into our country which has killed more Americans than at any other point in the history of our country with respect specifically to fentanyl.

As a tangential, secondary attack, it is obviously hurting enough that the Democrats are trying to shut that conversation down.

It is amazing (though paradoxically not surprising) that the media industry behaves as though we cannot discern their full in-the-tank position with Kamala Harris. They have spent the past two weeks literally rewriting her history on multiple political positions, selling these bald-faced lies as if her record is something that would defy basic research.

REPORTER: Is Kamala going to make you a little more likely or less likely to vote Democrat?

BLACK MAN ONE: Well, hold on, Greg, hold on, Greg, is Kamala black? Yes or no.

BLACK MAN TWO: I'm gonna allow her to speak on that, but to me, no.

BLACK MAN ONE: Oh...(turns to man sitting next to him), is Kamala black, yes or no?

BLACK MAN THREE: I share that same view.

BLACK MAN ONE: Wow...(turns to other man sitting next to him) is Kamala black? Yes or no.

BLACK MAN FOUR: I heard she wasn't. I heard she's half-black and half-Asian.

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

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. //
