Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders on former Rep. Liz Cheney endorsing Kamala Harris: “I’m not trying to be rude, but you don't get to call yourself a conservative or a Republican when you support the most radical nominee that the Democrats have ever put up.” https://trib.al/eFffgiO

12:06 PM · Sep 8, 2024 //

That doesn’t make you a conservative, it certainly doesn’t make you a Republican. I think it makes you somebody who wants to protect the establishment.

In one such case, the Justice Department recently announced that an alien has agreed to plead guilty to several charges of stealing a U.S. citizen's identity, and illegally voting in multiple elections, including primaries and general elections, in addition to illegally obtaining a passport. //

Another question came to mind as I wrote this article. Who, if anyone, helped Francisco? Who showed her the ropes? These two questions and answers will grow in compounding importance if Kamala Harris wins in November, a fact of which you're well aware. //

The question is, how many other "Angelica Maria Franciscos" have done the same? //

If Trump trounces Kamala at the debate, get ready for some very strange things to happen before November. They’ve already sued him, prosecuted him, tried to kick him off the ballot, and swapped out his opponent. All of it could be just a preview of what’s to come.

11:11 AM · Sep 7, 2024 //

He did not outline any of the "tricks" that he thinks might be pulled. But there is one obvious move they haven't played yet. If Kamala tanks badly, they may pull something big out, assuming they can. That's making Biden resign and giving her the Oval Office before November, so she can have the title going into the election. //

Bottom line, the folks in power don't want to release control and we need to be ready for anything. They've already thrown out a lot and failed. //

”Prepare for "strange things" to happen before November, he warns, if Harris "tanks."

The left will do whatever it takes.

Read that again and recall how the b. hussein obama regime weaponized the DOJ/FBI and intell agencies against candidate and then President Trump, beginning in 2016.

• The FBI’s fraudulent FISA warrants against Carter Page. (Peter Strzok, et. al.)
• The FBI’s illegal alteration of an email to frame Carter Page. (FBI attorney Kevin Clinesmith.)
• The FBI’s ”insurance policy” against a Trump presidency. (Sexmates Strzok, Lisa Page and then FBI Dep. Dir. Andy McCabe.)
• The framing of Trump Natl. Security Advisor Micheal Flynn. (Strzok. Again.)
• The FBI’s assistance in creating and hyping Marc Elias’s DNC ‘dossier’, through Fusion GPS staffer Nellie Ohr, and her husband, FBI deputy assistant director Bruce Ohr.
• James Clapper’s ‘Russia Collusion’ October surprises in both 2016 and again 2020.
• Nanzi Pelosi’s faux articles of impeachment; numbers I and II.
• The democrat’s willful leveraging of the Chinese WuFlu in 2020 to destroy Trump’s economic gains.

They will do whatever it takes to hold power and protect themselves from We The People. What ever it takes. //

October surprise is the 25th amendment and President Harris emphatically stating that the government will not be turned over to a felon awaiting a Supreme Court emergency ruling on whether or not the DC judge can order Pres Trump gagged. Or something

But now, to be on the safe side and avoid the possibility of confusion, Kennedy has altered his strategy and is now urging all of his supporters to simply vote for Trump. Kennedy explained the rationale for changing up the strategy in an appearance on NewsNation Thursday afternoon, sharing the clip to his X timeline on Friday. //

I'm sure this was hard for Mr. Kennedy to do, but I give the man credit for standing up for what he believes. He knows he'll be vilified if Trump wins, and anytime Trump does something he doesn't like he'll feel get burned, but that's better than allowing the deeply unprincipled, frankly scary Democrat party to retain power. //

In Reagan's time, the number one priority was defeating the Soviet Empire, and he accomplished that. Today, the greatest threat is the totalitarian domestic Marxist Left with its weaponization of govt. agencies. It looks as if we are seeing an alliance form against that.

What Reagan fought in the USSR, and defeated, is now manifest within one of America's major political parties. The Democrats are wholly given over to communism, regardless of what lipstick they put on the pig.

I made me sad when I watched the Reagan movie to think how hard he and that generation fought communism, only for half of America to openly embrace it a generation or two later.

But even Dershowitz has come to the obvious realization: this is not the Democrat Party of old; no, the modern version is a shrill, extremist version that wants to fundamentally transform America into some weird socialist utopia that it was never meant to be. He announced in August on the "Talkline With Zev Brenner Podcast" that he’s had enough in a clip that was re-posted Thursday evening and has gone viral on social media.

He's another lifelong Democrat who is leaving the party for good

6:50 PM · Sep 6, 2024 //

INTERVIEWER: …Are you ready to leave the Democratic Party?

DERSHOWITZ: I am no longer a Democrat. I am an independent. I'll decide who to vote for at the last minute based on totality of the circumstances. I want to see how they deal with Iran, I want to see how they deal if Iran attacks the United States, I want to encourage the current administration to support Israel, so I'm not revealing my vote until, you know, maybe November 1st.

I need to hear all the information, all the evidence. But I am no longer member of the Democratic Party.

INTERVIEWER: And when did when did you resign the Democratic Party?

DERSHOWITZ: Well, gradually over time. I think a lot of things pushed me in that direction. Kamala Harris' failure to comply with their constitutional obligation to preside over the Senate and the House Joint Sessions for Netanyahu pushed me a lot over that. And what Joe Biden said pushed me over that. But I think the thing that really pushed me is how the Democrats conducted their convention.

I cannot be associated with the party that features as its speakers, AOC, Sharpton, Liz Warren and Bernie Sanders, that's not my party.

The top election official for swing state Nevada’s most populous county relented and finally decided to look into “bad addresses” on the state’s voter rolls. While claims of voters residing at strip clubs, bars, and casinos should have raised red flags for Clark County Registrar of Voters Lorena Portillo, apparently it took the threat of a court order to grab her attention. //

It sounds absurd, but this is serious stuff on the election integrity front, especially in a state accused of having “impossibly high” voter registration numbers, and one that allows late-arriving ballots to be counted long after Election Day. //

The foundation received no response before filing a lawsuit in Nevada’s 8th Judicial District Court seeking a writ of mandamus ordering the elections official to do her job. According to Bis, the Clark petition drew the attention of bogus Russian dossier peddler and Democrat Party problem fixer Marc Elias. “As we filed the lawsuit, Mark Elias filed the motion to intervene,” she told me.

Bis also told me that Secretary of State Francisco “Cisco” Aguilar then came calling. He planned to intervene in the lawsuit. “Shortly after, we got a call from the Secretary of State saying they would file a motion to intervene,” she said.

While Aguilar is a partisan Democrat, PILF assumed he would intervene on behalf of election law and clean voter rolls. Nope. He planned to defend the county registrar’s recalcitrance, Bis said.

But a funny thing happened leading up to the court hearing, scheduled for last week. Portillo apparently agreed to PILF’s demands to investigate the well-documented bad addresses on Clark County’s voter rolls ... //

“I think part of them didn’t want to go up against us in court, where we would show photos of the strip clubs and bars where these individuals said they resided,” Bis told me in an interview. “It was bad optics all around and really indefensible, and I think they did not want to be in a court of law defending the status quo.”

“This election will be won on the margins, and with only three months until the election, every vote matters,” the DNC investment announcement states. “In what will be a close election, the DNC is leaving no stone left unturned to ensure that Kamala Harris will be the next president of the United States.” //

DNC Executive Director Roger Lau explained the decision in a statement, saying “[t]his election will be won on the margins, and every single vote counts.” He claimed this “innovative investment in Democrats Abroad” aims to “register and earn the votes of the nearly 9 million Americans living and serving overseas,” and that “Democrats are leaving nothing to chance.”

That’s a huge number of voters, and it contradicts a 2022 analysis from the Defense Department’s Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP), which claims that “of the estimated 4.4 million” U.S. citizens living overseas, only about 2.8 million of them are of voting age. //

As a correspondent for the election integrity group Michigan Fair Elections (MFE), I talked with MFE Chair and Founder Patrice Johnson, who told me her theory: “They appear to be citing 9 million to set expectations and nurture public acceptance of that number, despite the federal government indicating only 2.8 million voting-aged citizens reside overseas,” she suggests. //

“Many” states also “allow citizens who have never resided in the U.S.” to vote using a parent’s address, according to FVAP. The lax requirements lead activists like Johnson to fear that UOCAVA could “open[] the door to unlimited foreign voting with no verification of residency or citizenship.”

Over at Newsweek, Gad Saad wrote an incredible piece detailing this phenomenon:

It's this peripheral, emotive route of persuasion that the Harris campaign has embraced with the "positive vibes" campaign rooted in joy, excitement, and fun. Her managers are willfully hijacking your decision-making process by ensuring that you focus only on your affective, peripheral system.

It's deeply cynical, for the obvious reason that when selecting the leader of the free world, you should be engaging your cognitive system. A rational voter should evaluate the respective positions of the two candidates on fiscal policy, immigration policy, border security, foreign policy, criminal justice policy, commitment to the First and Second Amendments, the tension between the rights of biological women versus trans women (biological males), and their stance on meritocracy versus diversity, inclusion, and equity.

And yet, the great majority of voters are utterly oblivious about these issues, and prefer to love or hate a given candidate based on irrelevant affective processing. //

The Harris campaign doesn't want you thinking too hard about it. Don't explore the issues and really think about the solutions. Just feel the vibes, man. Just let the joy in and take it easy. Let it take you away. //

The Harris campaign is a lot more like a drug pusher in this regard, much like many a psychologist and back alley dealers are today. Feeling anxious? Take this pill. Feeling depressed. This prescription medication will give you the sensation of a normal life back. It's all just too much? Smoke this. Inject this right into your veins and you'll feel like you're flying. //

It's a dangerous thing to believe a politician who talks more about smiling than about policy. As the late great George Carlin once said:

"When fascism comes to America, it will not be in brown and black shirts. It will not be with jackboots. It will be Nike sneakers and smiley shirts. Smiley. Smiley." //

Harris is selling the wrong religion. There's a better one that has joy unspeakable, and full of glory

It's not hard to figure out the Democrat Party. It's actually pretty easy. Everything Democrats support or oppose — and I mean everything — can be connected to the ballot box with no more than two dots.

Perfect example: Proof of citizenship to vote.

Even more perfect: Weaselly Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and his refusal to say why he opposes a House bill that would include a requirement of proof of citizenship to register to vote, which is bipartisan. //

Let's start with an easy-to-answer question. If Schumer and the Democrats thought that a majority of illegal aliens — "undocumented immigrants," whatever — would vote Republican if they were allowed to vote, would Chuck and the Democrats be strongly in favor of requiring proof of citizenship?

Harris seized on two long-time Republican themes as part of her plan to change the messaging of the Democrat Party. Note that I said "change the messaging” — as opposed to changing her long-held policies, despite her lies to the contrary.

Ironically, those two themes are freedom and patriotism, both of which are anathema to the so-called “progressive” direction that Harris and today’s radicalized Democrat Party want to push — or drag — America. //

Kamala Hamas has always been at war with East Asia

“The Justice Department has charged Yahya Sinwar and other senior leaders of Hamas for financing, directing, and overseeing a decades-long campaign to murder American citizens and endanger the national security of the United States,” said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland. “On October 7th, Hamas terrorists, led by these defendants, murdered nearly 1200 people, including over 40 Americans, and kidnapped hundreds of civilians. This weekend, we learned that Hamas murdered an additional six people they had kidnapped and held captive for nearly a year, including Hersh Goldberg-Polin, a 23 year old Israeli American. We are investigating Hersh’s murder, and each and every one of Hamas’ brutal murders of Americans, as an act of terrorism. The charges unsealed today are just one part of our effort to target every aspect of Hamas’ operations. These actions will not be our last.” //

Hamas raises money to fund its terrorist activities through a variety of methods, including by soliciting and receiving cryptocurrency payments, advertising the ostensible anonymity of such transactions. //

While that may be true, it leaves out a key detail that UNWRA, the UN refugee organization meant to help stabilize the area, became embedded with Hamas with even its staff perpetrating crimes on Oct. 7. The U.S. has been the largest contributor of UNWRA, giving it $7.3 billion since 1950. //

If I were the suspicious type I'd think that this action was taken to preempt or provide leverage over Netanyahu to stop him from ending Sinwar's life...

They are trying to force Netanyahu to stop and turn it over to the US' court system. Then, if I had to guess, the plan, on the off-chance that they would be able to capture him or have him turn himself over to the US, would be to turn him over to be tried in... oh, I don't know, a federal court in Dearborn?

But... I'm not the suspicious type... nope, I'm not!

Kamala Harris says she used to wash Collard Greens in the BathTub. Yall believe this???

12:44 AM · Sep 1, 2024 //

Here's the larger question surrounding this. Are we really going to elect a president based on nothing but manufactured "vibes?" That has become the entire strategy of the Harris campaign, bolstered by a press that is eager to spread her propaganda. Every interaction is painfully staged and focus-grouped. From the fake laughter to the constantly changed accents, nothing about Kamala Harris is authentic. It's as if she were created in a lab by political consultants who haven't met a real person in decades. //

As much as I hate to admit it, there is real power being wielded by the likes of CNN and The New York Times, with one study showing that as much as 84 percent of coverage of Harris has been positive. Remember, these news outlets don't have to fool 25 percent of the electorate. They just have to pull the wool over the eyes of a few percentage points to swing the election.

You don’t get to insist Donald Trump’s private peccadilloes are a criminal matter while being silent about the corrupt relationships of Kamala Harris, the Clintons, and so many others. //

Bill Clinton was a primetime speaker at the DNC last week, campaigning on behalf of a woman who by all reasonable appearances engaged in political corruption on behalf of a dirty politician she was having a transactional sexual affair with. Weird how these same people were not outraged by that.

At the same time, Trump’s sex life, which however disdainful, was never a matter of public corruption. And yet the whole reason they’re running around saying Trump is a Convicted Felon™ is that the Democratic Party engaged in an all-hands-on-deck effort to try and turn Trump’s attempt to keep an entirely private affair with an onscreen prostitute from becoming public knowledge. //

Ultimately, it’s impossible to argue this incident merits more legal scrutiny than what Harris did in San Francisco. //

Now then some people will say, “what about Trump being convicted of sexual assault in New York?” Well, the heavily Democratic New York legislature passed a special law to undo the statute of limitations to make the case possible, and in any event, Trump’s accuser doesn’t even remember what year the assault took place. And while being wary of attacking the credibility of sexual assault accusers might be a good practice, E. Jean Carroll’s various public appearances strongly suggest she had questionable motivations and is a little crazy. //

This is about being honest about the state of American politics. If you want to understand why someone as allegedly immoral as Donald Trump wasn’t immediately kicked off the political stage because of his supposedly outrageous character flaws, you merely have to recognize that the American public rightly understands that the Democrat Party is itself fully in the thrall of figures whose personal dealings and sex lives are in many ways worse than Trump’s peccadilloes.

Eight years later, people are still in total denial about this, and maybe you shouldn’t feign outrage over a talk radio guy being cruder about the truth than your sensitive ears can handle. Especially when you’re silent about Kamala Harris’ past, the Clintons’ continued influence, and your friends and allies cashing checks from Reid Hoffman.

The Georgia State Election Board (SEB) passed a series of rules clarifying that county election board members have the right to make a “reasonable inquiry” into elections before certifying the results. Another rule clarifies board members are entitled to review election-related material as part of their inquiry. But the Democratic National Committee (DNC), alongside Georgia Democrats, filed a lawsuit Monday over the rules, essentially demanding the courts force county election officials to rubber-stamp elections without any questions asked. //

“If you actually read the rule, you’ll see there’s nothing in there that would delay certification,” Grubbs told The Federalist.

Grubbs told The Federalist that election superintendents are “withholding documents needed for people to certify the election,” including in her own county (Cobb County).

“The very people that they have in hysterics over it are the same people in control over the information,” she said.

The Democrats have tried to keep left-wing third party candidates off the November ballot. //

It’s curious. The same Democratic Party that has feverishly tried to keep leftist third-party presidential candidates off November’s ballot is now fighting like hell to keep Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on.

First, "fair share," as defined by whom? Rhetorical question — the Democrat Party, of course. Second, the Democrat Party is incapable of reaching peak wealth redistribution. The left will never reach a point where it believes it is finally robbing a sufficient amount of money from the wealthy to redistribute to the poor.

Never mind that the top 1 percent of earners already pay 45.8 percent of federal income taxes, and the top 50 percent of all taxpayers pay 97.7 percent, while the bottom 50 percent pay the remaining 2.3 percent. https://taxfoundation.org/data/all/federal/latest-federal-income-tax-data-2024/

"Fair share"? Seems to me that the bottom 50 percent of earners need to pay their fair share. //

While the left continues to preach the zero-sum-game mentality, or a "scarcity mindset"; the belief that there are limited resources, so if someone else has something you want, you believe there is less of it for you, conservatives subscribe to an "abundance mentality" — the belief that there is enough wealth, resources, and success in the world for anyone who works to achieve their goals.

Henry Ford famously wrote an autobiography, "My Life & Work":

As long as we look to legislation to cure poverty or to abolish special privilege, we are going to see poverty spread and special privilege grow.

If exposing money behind Arabella-aligned organizations is the price for outing conservative donors, that’s a trade Democrat operatives would gladly make. //

All of this raises a question: If “dark money” is so beneficial to Democrats, why do the party’s leaders consistently push for new and expansive donor disclosure laws?

The answer may be simple: Even when the left outspends the right, the value of silencing conservatives far exceeds the value of spending by left-leaning nonprofits. //

By establishing nonprofit donor databases, the DISCLOSE Act would open the door for Democrats to potentially create target lists of conservative donors and businesses to harass and bully into silence. As Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer infamously put it years ago, the “deterrent effect” of disclosure “should not be underestimated.” //

Even if some left-leaning donors are exposed, leftist ideas would still receive enormous platforms in the media, entertainment industry, academia, and government bodies. Conservatives, despite being outspent by the left in recent election cycles, are uniquely dependent on their donors and nonprofits to support their intellectuals and promote their ideas; disclosure mandates would be akin to declaring open season on these conservative institutions.

In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, the former president said he could now get the briefings if he wanted them but sensed a trap.

'I don't want them, because, number one, I know what's happening. It's very easy to see what's happening,' he said... //

'So the best way to handle that situation is, I don't need that briefing. They come in, they give you a briefing, and then two days later, they leak it, and then they say You leaked it.

'So the only way to solve that problem is not to take it, I don't want it, understood. I'll have plenty of them when I get in.' //

But it's a hell of a pass we've come to as a nation, when a presidential candidate, one of the nominees of a major political party, feels he needs to forgo national security briefings because he's worried - justifiably - about Democrats trying to trip him up somehow. //

This kind of irrational hatred began, at least, during the Reagan years, and has grown steadily worse. //

The internet, frankly, has made this a lot more visible, with people being able to hide behind a degree of anonymity. But something about Trump has tossed the left off the deep end. It's not just the internet; it's crap like Nancy Pelosi tearing up Trump's State of the Union speech, like a petulant child having a tantrum. //

With liberals, it often seems that it's opposite day. When they say they want to prevent the spread of misinformation, what they really mean is they want to spread propaganda and suppress truth. When they say they simply want people to be tolerant of other cultures and beliefs, they work to implement the most intolerant institutions imaginable. When they say they want to fortify an election, it means they want to ensure a pre-determined outcome.

Since January 6 they've been shouting that they need to protect democracy and taking action on multiple fronts to do the opposite, as Tucker Carlson and Victor Davis Hansen expertly outline in the newest episode of Tucker on X. In his monologue, Tucker said:

Liberals are now telling us they plan to protect American democracy, and that's the clearest possible sign that they intend to end it. //
