Today, Politico, following on its improbable claim that Trump is eluding the media by holding rallies and cooking fries at Mcdonald's (see EPIC: Trump Trolls Kamala in Hilarious Move As He Works Fries, Drive-Thru Window at McDonald's) by claiming he has a way to seize power even if he loses on Election Day...or whenever Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin finally get around to counting their votes: The Very Real Scenario Where Trump Loses and Takes Power Anyway - POLITICO.

In the words of Donald Rumsfeld, they start with "an illogical premise and proceeding perfectly logically to an illogical conclusion." //

So, a Trump who has less power today than he had in 2020 and in a legal environment that has foreclosed some avenues that could have been exploited last time around is more likely to try to overthrow the election results. With this assertion, Donald Trump officially has achieved Super Villain status. //

An overwhelming Harris victory would make it harder for Trump to rally Republicans to his side. (If Trump wins, no one expects a comparable effort by Democrats to subvert the election.) //

The article goes on to spin a tale that would make Tom Clancy proud. All of it is predicated on two improbable events. First and foremost, the idea that a twice-defeated Trump has enough clout in state legislatures to convince them to contravene state law and just flip the electoral votes to Trump is, bluntly, both dishonest and quite possibly stupid as well. Second, the idea that a Republican House majority that literally can't pass a single budget bill has the unity to change the rules of certifying electors requires a level of dimwittery rarely witnessed, even among political journalists.

They have no concern about Kamala Harris, who serves as the presiding officer for the joint session of Congress that will elect the president, having an unresolvable conflict of interest in both corrupting the process and outcome and engaging in shenanigans of her own. //

It's all projection. The DemoCommies just assume that their opponents are as corrupt and malicious as they are. Anything and everything they accuse Trump of, they have already done or they are planning to do themselves.

Former President Donald Trump is accusing 60 Minutes of deceitful editing of our Oct. 7 interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. That is false.

60 Minutes gave an excerpt of our interview to Face the Nation that used a longer section of her answer than that on 60 Minutes. Same question. Same answer. But a different portion of the response. //

What is written above is simply a lie. As the above transcripts show, in no way, shape, or form were the two answers the "same." Further, to call Trump a liar when he is absolutely correct about what "60 Minutes" did just shows how far gone CBS News is. That statement is not from a news organization. It's a statement from the Harris campaign, and that wasn't lost on anyone, including the Trump camp. //

The way you know that 60 Minutes is 100% guilty and just pissed off about being caught is they released this pathetically defensive statement that almost immediately goes "but Trump" instead of releasing the full transcript of Kamala's interview.

The right understands the left. The left does not understand the right.

In sparring here with Trump haters for years I have noticed that they do not understand him. Their image of him is a simplistic charicature. In reality, Trump confounds easy categorization. He's got huge self confidence and ego and yet is unafraid to make fun of himself or get roasted. That's why he was able to thrive at the Al Smith dinner and Kamala could not - she cannot tolerate any jokes at her expense because she's so insecure and fake.

Trump is a billionaire who loves the common man and speaks in the language of the common man, including coarse language and jokes - and he's a genuine populist (where Bernie Sanders is not, trust me, he does not like the average American).

Kamala is not built for this contest. Trump is - and the things that some people don't like about his personality is part of why he is able to withstand all the hate and attacks and do things like this anyway.

Even though I make fun of losers like Billy Wallace, the truth is I feel sorry sometimes that they can only wake up and hate this man to the point of obsession. That's their right, of course, but it's still a pathetic way to go through life and warped way to experience this unique moment in American history.

He's the fighter we need to take down their Machine. He's part of the New Right that is willing to reach regular Americans where they live, unlike the Bushes and Cheneys and Romneys who look down at us (though GWB and Jeb! were somewhat better in this aspect).

Vote. Vote. Vote (even in blue districts). Let your voice be heard. Our leaders are NOT above us, they should serve us - and in this case, Trump was serving fries.

They think people on the right are the stereotype they hear about on MSNBC. And they stay in their bubble. That's why folks like Scott Jennings on CNN are so disruptive because they're speaking truth to stupid right to their faces.

What the left can't accept is that regardless of their level of intelligence, their ideology is fraudulent and their ideas are childish and quite stupid.

Their cancel culture seals the deal because they do not allow any "heretics" to stray from the narrative, which is why they get so blindsided when the people do not behave as they expect.

And this is why they have such a distorted and false understanding of how DC works and what the functions of the different branches of the government. It is their only source.

I noticed that in each of the shows you enumerate, the liberals were always portrayed as benevolent and saint like, and played by somewhat attractive actors, and the conservatives depicted as gruff, unstable, mean-spirited ogres, mostly played by the dorkiest of actors.
I wonder why that most always seemed to be the case.

They see the Republicans as fascists and tyrants and war mongers, religious zealots. And they grew up on Watergate and the fantasy that lefties are the good guys (and the ends justify the means).

They're pretty big fans of Game of Thrones, too.

President Donald Trump was having a great time working at McDonald's on Sunday.

If anyone else had done it, they probably would have looked awkward. But he looked like he was in his element, especially when he was greeting people at the drive-thru window and handing out orders. This was the "joy" and the fun that the Kamala campaign can't duplicate. The customers and the crowd outside just loved it, and you could tell he was having a great time. //

The reason? He naturally likes interacting with people, unlike Kamala. But it's also an indication that he'll stop at nothing to serve the people and do better for them. And that he isn't shy about doing any job and that he appreciates workers -- something that we don't see from Harris. //

Naturally, MSNBC had a meltdown. They're mystified and can't figure out, why he would be interacting with the working people in Pennsylvania? They really have no sense of how to reach out to people or run an effective campaign, but we already see that with Kamala's effort. This got massive attention and shows just how clueless they are: //

What's unstable about working at McDonald's? Are they really going that route to insult the people who work there? Every politician running for office does things like this traditionally.

MSNBC also tried to float Kamala's desperate last-ditch propaganda that Trump was "unstable," which was a silly rebuttal, seeing as he just worked with the folks at McDonald's to serve folks.

Grant said it was only about making a point about their faith, not about Trump. He said he was pushed, which you can see on the video. They were cursed at, heckled, and mocked, he added. Grant explained it was important for young people like themselves to understand, "This is what you're going to get with a Kamala Harris presidency. You're going to get the Kamala Harris that alienates over 50 percent of the U.S. population which is Christian. You're going to get the Kamala Harris who skips the Al Smith memorial dinner which no major candidate has skipped since Walter Mondale [Democrat] in 1984." He said it just proved what kind of person she is, and what kind of leader she would be. //

The response to these students was in sharp contrast to how she responded to a Gaza protester who interrupted her earlier in the day at another event in Wisconsin.

Over the last two days, Harris was confronted with two sets of protesters.

One shouted, "Jesus Is Lord!"

The other shouted that Israel is committing "genocide."

This is a good visual of the media appearances for both parties over time. Clearly Trump isn't slowing down. //

Trump is doing anything but engaging in a 'media blackout.' He's accessible and, unlike Kamala, he is able to talk policy and string a noun-verb-noun sentence together. What he is doing is engaging his base and persuadable voters. He's not spending any time giving people who hate him the opportunity to define him. This is a lesson I hope all future GOP candidates take to heart.

Seems to me many people liked Obama, because of his charisma, his supposed, coolness. I’ll give him this, he was good at reading speeches, but would fumble and stumble about when answering questions, would draw out his answer to the point of everyone wanting to go home after he answered just one question, in the last hour and ten minutes. He sure could filibuster with the best of them in response. He stood at the podium for an hour and forty five minutes answering all three questions asked, in the allotted time.

In my experience he is and was the most divisive leader this Country has ever seen ! Set the racial divide back seventy years at least. Definitely did nothing to unite the people. A sad chapter for the US of America. //

Obama has wildly succeeded in turning this country into bitter factions- it is he who started the woke movement. He continues to work behind the scenes to Cloward & Piven the country. He's done untold illegal things in the shadows, emboldened by the media's compliance. In terms of effectiveness, I'd say he was a success. //

So today, I was at "Fox and Friends" at seven in the morning. I then went to two different other appearances. I then made about 15 phone calls. I've gone 48 days now without a rest, and I've got that loser who doesn't have the energy of a rabbit.

Let me tell you something. She should have been last night with the Catholics. So all they do is put out soundbites. Tell me when you've seen me take even a little bit of a rest. Not only am I, I'm not even tired. I'm really exhilarated. You know why? We're killing her in the polls because the American people don't want her. She didn't pass her bar exam. She's not a smart person. She's not a person that should represent our country so I just want to let you know that very clearly.

How do you know Kamala Harris is in trouble, and that the momentum is with former President Donald Trump?

Endangered Democrats in tight Senate races are boasting about their ties to Trump, as they try to run to the middle to appeal to the voters.

We reported earlier about Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) saying in an ad that he bucked Joe Biden to "protect fracking and he sided with Trump to end NAFTA and put tariffs on China." That indicates he knows he needs to align with Trump to improve his chances (even if he doesn't actually align with Trump generally). //

Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) put up an ad, featuring Trump, saying she "got President Trump to sign her Made in America bill": //

Rep. Elissa Slotkin's (D-Mich.) campaign for Senate also spent more than a $1 million starting mid-August on an ad saying she "wrote a law signed by President Trump forcing drug companies to show their actual prices," according to AdImpact. [....]

Tester ads have featured Montanans who say they are "lifelong Republicans" or plan to vote for Trump, but back Tester for Senate.

An ad from earlier this year boasts that Brown "wrote a bill that Donald Trump signed to crack down on drugs at the border."

That last candidate mentioned is Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH).

They're blowing up Kamala Harris' narrative that Trump is unstable/Hitler when they're including him in ads. Plus, they're also acknowledging that mentioning Trump is going to help them in their elections, which is a nod to his strength in those swing states. If they thought Harris was winning, they wouldn't see a need to do that:

After handing off the body of our fallen brother, we walk back to our rooms in silence. Thinking about the journey this body would take back to his loved ones on the other side of the world. We did this over and over for the next 14 months . There were times when there was much left of a body, and those times still haunt me. I was ask to do a honorable task, the burden of that task is still with me. Men and woman who sacrificed it all for a country they loved, I carried them to fly back home. Their loss forever with me.

<Walz stealing those sacred moments, to drape himself in THIER honorable sacrifice is one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever heard. His lying fill me with a rage and anger that I hope fall upon him one day. He dishonors his own service with these lies. He dishonors our nation’s heroes by stealing their courage and glory. 24 yrs of service thrown away because he knew he quit on his men, quit on himself, and is filled with the shame for who he sees in the mirror. Let us never forget those who gave it all. Let us never allow their glory, courage, and selfless sacrifice be stolen by anyone. We live our lives today to honor who they were as men and woman, TRULY THE GREATEST AMERICANS.

This is history unfolding before their faces. They knew he was bad, but the looks as it unfolded were priceless. They were all astounded, although Ben Carson was perhaps the best, as he stopped mid-bite of food.

It's worth noting that Politico's headline reads "Harris to join Michelle and Barack Obama on the Campaign Trail." Last I checked, it's the vice president who is running and being joined on the campaign trail, yet the press, in all their slavish devotion, still gives deference to the Obamas. //

If the Obamas had the ability to sway elections, Hillary Clinton would be finishing up her second term right now.

They don't even care if they get caught, WHO is going to stop it? Poll watchers, nope. This whole thing is no different than the last time. Kamala is without doubt the biggest ZERO to EVER run for president and yet it's still "close"? That is not possible and yet it is. She is literally a moron (no offense to morons). The fact that after all her word salads, her fake accents, her "middle class" upbringing (reminds me of Kasich and my Dad was a mailman), it's still close? What do you think their "points" are with the cheat in place? Three, more? Anyone who is watching and buying into sound bites and the lies are morons as well. I don't believe for a nano-second that there is ONE "undecided" voter, other than those who crave attention.

NEWS: The Biden-Harris administration now admits that an Afghan national accused of plotting an election day terror attack did not undergo certain vetting they previously claimed he passed. Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi was never vetted or approved by the State Department for special immigrant (SIV) status, despite officials from other agencies claiming that he cleared that stringent process. //

The story is deeply troubling for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that it confirms the worst suspicions of Americans that the Biden-Harris administration is incompetent at best and malicious at worst. They think they can just lie about important security matters like a planned terrorist attack on U.S. soil by a dangerous man they should have never let into the country, then have it all swept under the rug by its media mouthpieces. //

It was in the 2003 race for the job of San Francisco District attorney, which Harris won—by cheating. She had agreed, under penalty of perjury, to spending limits, as had her rivals, but then she simply ignored them. //

Sure, Kamala may have broken a little law here or there, but she’s a progressive Democrat in a one-party state—so what did she do? She simply hired a good attorney:

…thanks to hiring a good lawyer and making the excuse that, oh, the form changed, I didn't really understand the meaning of this, so please lift the cap. She got the San Francisco Ethics Commission—and by the way, many of those people on the ethics Commission owed their positions to Willie Brown.

She got them to look the other way on this gross violation. It's a crime, by the way.

She could have been prosecuted for a misdemeanor had she been properly held accountable for this significant campaign finance violation, and anybody else would have, but the Ethics Commission simply lifted the cap, which is not in the Statute, so instead of disqualifying her, which would have been the normal punishment, and prosecuting her, she simply got away with it.

So in her first race for elected office, she ignored the campaign finance limits, she used corrupt patronage from her former lover to raise the money necessary to do the glossy ads. I've got several examples here. She did more mailers than all of the other candidates. She had independent expenditures on her behalf, and she simply was able to outspend and blow through these limits. //

“It’s pretty incredible that the birth of this meteoric career comes out of multiple campaign violations,” she concluded. //

That interview with Tucker was arguably the most fascinating interview I've ever seen, but that probably is because I'm from the Bay Area and have been politically active for a long time, it brought back a lot of memories and flashbacks to San Francisco politics.

One of the things that Harmeet touched on briefly and that I've been interested in is the fact that Kamala Harris used to be a good public speaker, she was glib and knowledgeable, and could speak extemporaneously. But the fact that she now cannot speak publicly and appears to be genuinely dimwitted at times has been puzzling to me,

Harmeet's conclusion was that she has Imposter Syndrome, that she knows she doesn't belong and that she's in over her head. The problem with that argument is that she has been hand-selected for everything she's ever achieved and has been in over her head the entire time.

But in this case, the decision was made in January 2021, when Joe Biden signed executive orders largely undoing Donald Trump's border policies and effectively throwing the border open. There was illegal immigration before that, but the Harris/Biden administration's policies have allowed it to explode.

This mess in Aurora, Colorado, is just one of the outcomes of that catastrophically bad decision. And the root cause can be laid squarely at the feet of Joe Biden and Kamala "Border Czar" Harris.
