Cardinal Dolan told reporters that Harris "speaks very much about the high ideals and how it's good to get away from division and come together and unity and all, and that's what the Al Smith dinner is all about."

[...]

"We're not used to this. We don't know how to handle it," he said. "This hasn't happened in 40 years since Walter Mondale turned down the invitation, and remember he lost 49 out of 50 states. I don't want to say there's a direct connection there." //

Violent crime is up, not down, under Kamala Harris — but as usual, the Fake News isn't telling the whole story 

Violent crime hasn't "dropped," as the Fake News insists. 

When Kamala took office, the FBI changed how it collects crime data. As a result, they're missing data from nearly a third of the nation's law enforcement agencies — including from many of the most violent cities, such as Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, and New Orleans. //

A much more accurate picture emerges using data from the DOJ's National Crime Victimization Survey, which shows crime rates remain WAY UP under Kamala — throwing a dagger straight through the heart of claims to the contrary by Democrats and their Fake News allies.

FACT: Violent crime is up 37% between 2020 and last year.

• Rape is up 42%.
• Robbery is up 63%.
• Assault is up 34%.
• Violent crime (excluding simple assault) is up 55%.
• Domestic violence is up 32%.
• Stranger violence is up 61%.
• Violent crime (with an injury) is up 10%.
• Violent crime (with a weapon) is up 56%.
• Motor vehicle theft is up 42%.

So they really think endorsements from a "commie" and a "warmonger" are good things, that's what they're telling us? That tells us something all right, that when it comes to keeping the establishment candidate they will do anything, throw under any principle or ideology, to keep the oligarchy in power. Not to mention the execrable Lincoln Project endorsing Harris. 

What an ad for Trump that is. When all the bad come together, you know to vote for the other side. //

"I'm still on the left," Sanders says, while Cheney says he's still "on the right," as they play poker together. "But if we can agree on Trump," Sanders declares. "It means something big," Cheney replies.

That's the thing about this election. Trump broke politics. These corporatist dipwads may be on "opposite" sides, but are they really? And though there may be strange bedfellows among them, have they checked out the GOP lately with RFK and Trump? Tulsi? Joe Rogan? The age of one size fits all party politics may be coming to a close. God, I hope so. Maybe we'll get back to debating ideas and policies again instead of taking the lazy way out and destroying one another personally for party gain.

Zelensky arrived in Pennsylvania on Monday, a hotly-contested election battleground state, courtesy of a U.S. taxpayer-funded C-17 Globemaster. What followed looked and sounded much more like a campaign stop than a diplomatic event, leaving onlookers to wonder exactly what the real purpose was. //

Vladimir Putin was never going to start a broader war with NATO because he knew he would lose. The Russian military is largely antiquated, poorly trained, and even more poorly led. He invaded Ukraine under Joe Biden for the same reason he invaded it under Barack Obama. Namely, to seize territory he sees as ethnically Russian. There is no larger plan for world domination if for no other reason than the reality that such a plan would be impossible to carry out.

Regardless, what Zelensky said and did on Monday is simply insane. He flew over to the United States at the behest of the Biden-Harris administration to trash their political opponents in a battleground state. //

Is Zelensky going after Trump and Vance because Democrats have prodded him to do so in exchange for taxpayer-funded support? Short of someone spilling the beans on what has been said behind the scenes, we may never know, but it sure seems like it. The appearance of impropriety is extensive, and the practical aspects of using government resources to have Zelensky come essentially campaign for Democrats six weeks before a major election is highly inappropriate. I get that there will be no impeachment inquiry into this, but in a government that wasn't eaten up with corruption, there would be. //

Kamala says she'd "like another debate" with the "former vice president."

Does she think she's running against Mike Pence? Dick Cheney? Dan Quayle? Has she covered up Biden's cognitive decline for so long that it has now rubbed off on her?

"The government is NOT supposed to be "providing" for me, it's supposed to get out of my way so I can provide for myself."
Spot on, well said.

A libertarian friend of mine once said to me that government has three jobs:

1. Protect my borders.
2. Deliver my mail.
3. Stay the hell out of my business.
   The current administration is failing at all three. Okay, I can give them credit for mail delivery, though I don't think they've done anything to help.

Here's a shot from the ABC News video at 2:00 minutes in. Check the second and third rows from the top. You see in the second row from the top, starting from the left, there are seven people. Those same seven people are then repeated in the third row, starting from the middle. //

So perhaps Harris or Oprah would like to explain what was going on here with the people being repeated? Did Harris not have enough people to fill out the spaces? //

Cut and paste below in answer to every left-wing article. It drives the liberals crazy.

This election is not about choosing the most likeable person.
We are voting between two vastly different ideologies.
I'm voting for:
The First Amendment and freedom of speech.
Secure borders and LEGAL immigration.
Election integrity to include mandatory voter ID. (Why would anyone vote against this?)
The Second Amendment and my right to defend my life and my family.
The police to be respected once again.
Law & order and an end to allowing protesters to trespass and burn our cities, destroying innocent small business. (Tim Walz)
Personal responsibility and the end of the revolving door where criminals are being put back on the street. (Kamala Harris)
Supreme Court Justice(s) to protect the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
The Electoral College and for the Republic in which we live.
Continued appointment of Federal Judges who respect the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Keeping our jobs in America and not be outsourced all over the world to China, Mexico and other foreign countries.
Eliminating freebies given to all of the illegals and not looking after the needs of American citizens.
The military & the veterans who fought for this country.
Keeping men out of women's sports.
Peace in the Middle East.
Eliminating human/child trafficking.
Freedom of Religion.
The return of teaching math, history, and science instead of the indoctrination of our children.
I'm not just voting for one person.
I’m voting for Trump and the future of our country.

Bret Stephens asks Stephanie Ruhle why Kamala Harris has not done interviews and stated clearly what her policy positions are. Ruhle responds that 'We don't live in Nirvana':
Bret Stephens: "I'm an undecided voter. I'm not sure I want to vote for Kamala. My fear is that she… Show more

11:23 PM · Sep 20, 2024 //

"If you don't like her answer, are you going to vote for Trump?" Ruhle railed. "Kamala Harris is not running for perfect, she is running against Trump." Translation? You don't need to know anything other than she's a warm body.

"The problem that a lot of people have with Kamala is that we don't know her answer to anything," Stephens said. "I don't think it's a lot to ask for her to sit down for a real interview."

Ruhle dismissed that, "When you move to Nirvana, I'll be your next door neighbor. We don't live there."

She's not a journalist, she's an advocate for Harris. //

Please list how he is a "threat to democracy." Notice they don't say.

So, let's review who the "threat to democracy" is.

Maher suggests Trump doesn't concede elections. Trump challenged the results in 2020, but he also left when he didn't win the legal challenges. And they ignore the many Democrats who challenged the 2016 election, and all the efforts to try to stop Trump from taking office even though he had won. They forget about the riot during Trump's inauguration on Jan. 20, 2017, and they don't blame the Democrats for that riot.

Under Trump, we had more money in our pockets, low inflation, lower taxes, no new wars, more peace in the Middle East, and a more secure border. Trump didn't prosecute his opponents, he didn't try to kick them off ballots, and he didn't try to tie up his opponents in lawfare to cost them money. Trump wasn't the one who pushed aside the candidate that more than 14 million Democrats had voted for in the 2024 primary, and replaced him because they knew he was going to lose.

But Ruhle doesn't think we even should ask about that replacement or even what Harris knew when all that coup-ing went down.

The State Department Inspector General has released a blistering report documenting how probable Iranian agent-of-influence Robert Malley was allowed to have access to highly classified information and meetings even after his security clearance was belatedly pulled by the Biden-Harris regime for mishandling classified information. Unlike former President Trump, Malley was never prosecuted for his mishandling of classified information even though he was closely affiliated with an Iranian-sponsored group dubbed the “Iran Experts Initiative” (IEI), a network of influential academics and researchers across the world who would advocate on behalf of Tehran on several important issues. //

In addition to lying, the State Department did not take action to limit Malley's access to highly classified information and meetings. Rather the opposite, the State Department's senior leadership hid Malley's lack of security clearance so it could not be enforced. //

It isn't clear exactly what resulted in the suspension of Malley's clearance, as the State Department has refused to explain it to Congress. What is clear is that Iranian media is the best source of information on his suspension. //

The Tehran Time’s article is just the latest in a string of scoops the outlet has published about the Malley affair, including U.S. government documents, audio recordings of the diplomat, and dates and reasons tied to his departure. So far, most have proven to be accurate. //

The long-term protection and coddling of Malley, a guy who can be described without malice or hyperbole as a hardcore Iranian sympathizer, shows the degree to which hostile foreign powers penetrate the Biden-Harris gang. The "investigation" of Malley of improperly handling classified information is both an exemplar and a warning. It is an exemplar in that the Department of Justice is pursuing a political prosecution of former president Donald Trump on that point, while the documents in question were stored in a place guarded by the Secret Service, but are unwilling to prosecute someone in Kamala Harris's circle who seems to have given classified information to Iran. It is a warning because if Harris is elected, Malley's investigation will go away, and he'll end up with a senior position at the State Department or the National Security Council.

She wasn't done, though. In what appears to be a very coordinated campaign at this point, MSNBC put out a slobbering segment in which Jill Biden gives "journalist" Peter Alexander an Oval Office tour. The two are also seen discussing the "transfer of power" as if her opinion on such matters is relevant. //

To call all of this odd is an understatement. Jill Biden taking a leading role in multiple aspects of the administration all on the same day is too obvious to count as a coincidence. There's a message being sent here. What exactly that is is up for consideration, but I suspect Joe Biden's relinquishing of the presidential nomination to Kamala Harris has something to do with it. //

If you want to know why @peteralexander and others stopped asking questions about Biden's cognitive condition, this would be why.

Elections are a time for voting and the time for voting for the best qualified person, and no time is better than an election for voting, and voting for someone who can clearly and plainly articulate a firm vision of why the voters who will soon be voting should make an informed choice based on the candidate who most directly articulates a vision and a plan for moving forward. //

I know all the words she used but they’ve never made less sense to me

The hard truth is that Harris has no plan. She thrust herself into the presidential race after tossing Joe Biden aside with full intention to coast to victory without having to define anything she'd actually do as president. Because of a compliant press, she's largely gotten away with it, but the truth always manages to slip out eventually. A Harris presidency would be a meandering disaster run by political insiders that bounce from one Democrat administration to the next. Americans can reject that or suffer the consequences.

Instead, Harris stepped in as the presumptive nominee right away. The donors lined up behind her, and within days, she had enough "pledged delegates" from the party's power structure to ensure her ascension. Not a single primary voter cast a ballot for Kamala Harris. Those are the facts, and Pelosi suggesting otherwise is dishonest tripe meant to mislead.

“He alleges Walz was one of the few with access to the building where the top-secret manual was stored and was ‘often the only one there.'” //

A former National Guard colleague of Tim Walz’s told Alpha News that a nuclear manual went missing after the latter returned from China: //

sooner.

The 1-168th Field Artillery, Walz’s National Guard unit, started using the M109A5 self-propelled howitzer in 1995.

The weapon could fire nuclear artillery shells.

The former colleague also said Walz’s behavior changed when the manual went missing:

According to Walz’s former National Guard colleague, around the time the nuclear SOP manual went missing, Walz was pulled over by a Nebraska state trooper for driving 96 mph in a 55-mph zone. The officer noted a strong odor of alcohol, and Walz failed both field sobriety and breath tests. He was booked into the county jail and his lawyer later stated Walz believed someone was chasing him. //

Alpha News pointed out that people had to exchange information in person or through the mail in 1995.

On Wednesday, one of her prior statements went viral in a resurrected clip from a May 2007 press conference. It is more than a little concerning.

Kamala: “Just because you legally possess a gun in the sanctity of your locked home doesn't mean that we're not going to walk into that home and check to see if you're being responsible.”

She’s an anti-gun RADICAL.

10:25 AM · Sep 18, 2024

She was talking about legislation she helped write that imposed penalties for gun owners who fail to store their firearms properly at home. //

Harris said the new measure was about legislating "our values" in an attempt to "encourage certain kinds of behavior."

"When we create laws, it's not only about creating an opportunity, if you will, to prosecute someone for committing a crime, but more importantly, when we legislate our values, it's about trying to encourage certain types of behavior," she said at the time.

Harris also once again placed January 6th above 9/11 and the OKC bombing as the “worst attack on our democracy.” //

henrybowman | September 17, 2024 at 8:30 pm
“(Please do not forget the OKC bombing. I get why 9/11 receives the most attention but do not forget the 1995 OKC bombing.)”

When I started out collecting data as a 2A activist in the late ’80s, the largest mass murder on US soil was the Happyland Social Club fire, an arsonist with a jar of gasoline.

Then came Waco.
Then came OKC.
Then came 9/11.
Then came COVID (much less qualifiable, but clearly the record-holder).

In a country with 250 years of history, all this escalation in just 30 years. My God.

You’ll notice that NONE of these mass murders were committed with guns… but at least two of them — the ones that involved housewives and children — were committed by our own government.
Government democide — entirely exclusive of wartime deaths — has killed more humans than all wars combined. //

TargaGTS in reply to henrybowman. | September 17, 2024 at 8:59 pm
I forgot about the Happyland fire…probably because no one in the media brings it up anymore. I would add that the worst school spree murder happened way back in the 1920 or early 1930, the Bath School Massacre, which was also perpetrated entirely by firebombing. Close to 40-dead (mostly children) and another 60(ish) injured. I’m always fearful firebombing might come back into vogue again.

CNN’s Daniel Dale has done the unthinkable. He took aim at @KamalaHQ, the official rapid response page on X for Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign. With over 1.3 million followers, the account has a wide reach, and according to Dale, “has made a habit of misleadingly clipping and inaccurately captioning video clips to attack former President Donald Trump.”

The account has been “repeatedly deceptive” and has made “inaccurate comments on multiple occasions,” Dale wrote. And he goes on to detail eight of the account’s most disingenuous posts from the last month.

"Democrats ..., saying they are happy for Harris to say what she needs to say to win."

Well, that tells you everything you need to know about Democrats. Islam calls it taqiyya.

And if you want to know how much she "won" the debate, look at the fact that largely every media report from the debate is about what Trump said. No one cares about what Harris said because she never really said anything. //

The campaign clearly knows that, despite the hype, it's a neck-and-neck race between Harris and Trump, and swing state polling gives Trump the advantage still. That's why they're bringing out the old tried and true out of the reserves.

That's right. The Obamas and the Clintons are hitting the campaign trail.

The above exchange can be seen online by going directly to ABC 6's website. Guess who didn't see it? That would be the network's television audience. According to Tom Elliott, who runs Grabien, a media service that archives news coverage, ABC 6 and Taff made an astonishingly dishonest edit to the interview before playing it on the nightly news.

Specifically, the above word salad was completely cut out of the interview, and instead, a later portion was spliced in. In the recording of the live broadcast, you can hear Taff ask the question posed in the above excerpt, yet the answer Harris is shown giving was not her actual answer in the interview.

Here is the comparison between the actual interview and what ABC 6 put on air.
