Republican vice-presidential candidate defends spreading false, racist claims demonizing Haitian immigrants. //
Vance’s remarks came during an appearance on Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union, where he said he felt the need “to create stories so that the … media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people”.
Asked by the CNN host Dana Bash whether the false rumors centering on Springfield, Ohio, were “a story that you created”, Vance replied, “Yes!” He then said the claims were rooted in “accounts from … constituents” and that he as well as the Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump, had spoken publicly about them to draw attention to Springfield’s relatively large Haitian population.
This is the difference between debate--even aggressive debate--and censorship. It is one thing to attack Kamala Harris for "destroying the country" and quite another to say that President Trump should be "eliminated." It is one thing to criticize overheated rhetoric, and another to say that a former president has invited an assassination on himself. It is one thing to say that Donald J. Trump's arguments about the election of 2020 are wrong; it is another thing to attempt to remove him from the ballot over it.
It is one thing to say that pets are not, in fact being eaten, and another thing to say that anyone who disagrees is trying to murder people. Dissent, even vigorous dissent, is a great tradition of the United States. Censorship is not.
For the next 7 weeks of this campaign, I will vigorously defend your right to speak your mind. I believe you have every right to criticize me and Donald J. Trump, even if you say terrible or untrue things about us. But when I ask you to "tone down the rhetoric" it's not about being nice--our citizens have every right to be mean, even if I don't like it--or empty platitudes.
Instead, I'm asking all of us to reject censorship. Reject the idea that you can control what other people think and say. Embrace persuasion of your fellow citizens over silencing them--either through the powers of Big Tech or through moral blackmail.
I think this will make our public debate much better. But there's something else. Reject censorship and you reject political violence. Embrace censorship, and you will inevitably embrace violence on its behalf.
The reason is simple. The logic of censorship leads directly to one place, for there is only one way to permanently silence a human being: put a bullet in his brain.
As my colleague Teri Cristopher chronicled, Kamala Harris has repeatedly used that phrase to describe the former president, presenting him as a dictator-in-waiting ready to end the republic. According to the Trump campaign, that kind of rhetoric has consequences, and they sought to prove that on Monday by dropping a laundry list of statements made by Democrat politicians and media figures.
When you continually tell people that one man is not just bad for the country, but that he's akin to Adolf Hitler and will put "LGBTQ" people in prisons, that is an invitation for the less mentally stable among us to act. Think about it. If Trump really is the second coming of one of the most murderous figures in world history, then why wouldn't someone try to eliminate him before the election? //
Democrats are so convinced they are righteous among the few, though, that they will say anything at this point. Does that mean that every person quoted above was explicitly calling for Trump to be assassinated? No, but it does mean that they are purposely feeding into something very dangerous. This is the second, not the first attempt on Trump's life. If ignorance was an excuse prior, it's not anymore. //

Don't forget NBC anchor, Lester Holt, who suggested the assassin was motivated by Trump's discussion of Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio despite the fact it was residents of Springfield, Ohio who began that discussion. It has been reported that a favorite Democratic talking point is posted on one of Routh's social media accounts - Democracy is on the ballot - and his son said his father hates Donald Trump "like every reasonable person does" but that he's not a violent person. Think about that for a minute. It is reasonable among Democratic voters to hate people they disagree with while blaming MAGA Republicans for political violence. Apparently, not being a violent person doesn't apply when that person has been encouraged by Democrats and the media to believe Donald Trump is a Hitler-like authoritarian who will throw his political opponents in concentration camps and must be kept out of the White House by any means possible. //

"But MAGA pretending they didn’t light this fire is gaslighting to the 100th power. Since Trump showed up our politics has gone to crap."
I was thinking about som recent conversations with otherwise intelligent anti-Trumpers and realized something. These fools think Trump is the cause of our political schism. It never occurs to them that his rise is just a symptom of our internal problems. And the truly frightening thing is, he is a relatively mild symptom of our internal divisions. If we don't address the reasons someone like Trump can rise in politics, anti-Trumpers might wistfully look back at him someday.
Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost accused the “media” of ignoring evidence surrounding claims Springfield, Ohio residents are having their pets abducted and eaten. //
Yost’s office is also researching legal avenues to stop ‘the federal government from sending an unlimited number of migrants to Ohio communities,’ particularly the city of Springfield. //
Meanwhile, it is interesting to note that it was President Donald J. Trump who signed into law a 2018 farm bill that made the consumption of cats and dogs illegal.
"I think that it's important for journalists to actually get on the ground and uncover this stuff for themselves," he said. "When you have a lot of people saying, “my pets are being abducted” or “geese at the city pond are being abducted and slaughtered right in front of us, this is crazy stuff."
"This town has been ravaged by 20,000 migrants coming in, health care costs are up, housing costs are up," he continued. "Communicable diseases like HIV and TB have skyrocketed in this small Ohio town. This is what Kamala Harris's border policies have done. And I think it's interesting Kaitlan, that the media didn't care about the carnage wrought by these policies until we turned it into a meme about cats and that speaks to the media's failure to care about what's going on in these communities. If we have to meme about it to get the media to care, we're going to keep on doing it because the media could, should care about what's going on."
Collins tried to defend the media, saying they do care which is why the mainstream media is covering these stories, to which Vance noted it was only because of cat memes, and nobody would care about this story if the memes weren't doing damage to the Democrats." //
"Kaitlan, it's a totally fair point, but nobody's calling my office and saying that they saw Bigfoot," said Vance. "What they're calling and saying is we're seeing migrants kidnap our dogs and cats and city officials aren't doing anything about it. Now again, I have a responsibility as a United States Senator. I think the media has a responsibility as an institution that cares about truth, to actually take people seriously when they say their lives have been ruined by this migrant crisis and again, if every single thing that the media says about this story is false, the verifiable facts are that this community has had their lives destroyed by 20,000 migrants coming in and uprooting life."

BUSTED: Kamala Harris Copied Her Long-Awaited Policy Platform From Someone Else's Website – RedState
The policies themselves are what you'd expect. Some of them are incoherent word salads that never lay out any actual mechanism for accomplishing the promises being made. Others are just typical far-left slop, including on issues like energy and healthcare. At the very least, the release countered the idea that Harris is now a moderate. //
Perhaps there's a reason for that. According to a new report, Harris didn't even author some of the policy positions presented. Instead, they were lifted from Joe Biden's old campaign website. //
Kamala Harris is an idea, not a tangible candidate. She's a left-wing caricature dreamed up by the likes of CNN and MSNBC. There's no "there, there." She's simply a screen for the most radical factions of the political realm to project their deepest desires on. The problem for Harris? Most voters aren't radicals. They just want straight talk about the positions they care about. //
Further, if she's copying her policy ideas from Joe Biden, it's kind of hard to claim to be the candidate of "change." This exposes her as a continuation of the last four years, and that's something many Americans aren't too keen on. //

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.

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. //

- 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.

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.

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.

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?
