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.

During the 2019 Democrat primary, Harris was asked whether she would commit to a federal ban on fracking.

“There’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking,” Harris said. “So yes.” //

“In 2020 I made very clear where I stand. We are in 2024, and I have not changed that position, nor will I going forward. I kept my word, and I will keep my word,” Harris said. “My values have not changed. I believe it is very important that we take seriously what we must do to guard against what is a clear crisis in terms of the climate. And to do that, we can do what we have accomplished thus far.” //

“Well, let’s be clear. My values have not changed. I believe it is very important that we take seriously what we must do to guard against what is a clear crisis in terms of the climate. And to do that, we can do what we have accomplished thus far,” Harris said.

🚨BREAKING: Never before seen footage of Pelosi on January 6 filmed by her daughter shows her admitting that its her fault that the Capitol wasn't secure.

“We're calling the National Guard now? They should have been here to start out."

"We have totally failed. We need to take… Show more

“I just feel sick about what he did to the Capitol and the country today,” Pelosi said as she slumped, visibly exhausted, in the back of her SUV in the pre-dawn hours of Jan. 7. “He’s got to pay a price for that.” //

In the aftermath, Pelosi and her cronies discussed who should be fired for the security failure—Capitol Police officials, Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund, anybody but themselves. But then she honed in on her real target:

“Typical Trump,” [former House Majority Leader Steny] Hoyer piped in [commenting on Trump’s statement about the protests].

After a beat, Pelosi said: “Insurrection. That’s a crime, and he’s guilty of it.” //

Once again President Trump was right: The biggest reason J6 happened was because Nancy Pelosi turned down the Capitol Police's request for the National Guard and then lied about it.

DANA BASH: You said you supported banning fracking. Did it change?

KAMALA HARRIS: In 2020, I made clear where I stand. We are in 2024. I kept my word.

DANA BASH: Why did you change your position?

KAMALA HARRIS: Let's be clear. My values have not changed.

What we’ve already done –creating over 300,000 new clean energy jobs – that tells me from my experience as Vice President, we can do it without banning fracking.

And therein lies the tell: "My values have not changed." Harris repeated that line TWICE during the interview. What it shows is that she will spout whatever is necessary to pacify the Pennsylvanian and American voters, and after she is securely installed as president, she'll adhere to those values she's been committed to for decades, and that's to double down on the climate change agenda. //

Her positions have changed 180 degrees since she ran in 2020 but Kamala Harris’ values have not changed between 2020 and 2024. What does that mean exactly? What are those values she talks anout? Obviously, the only values on display here is that she will lie and say anthing necessary to get elected. Deception and prevarication are her values.

I'm still seeing this as a very opaque operation where, as was the popular saying on night convoy operations in the Army, "I don't know where we are but we're making good time." //

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.” - C.S. Lewis

I've always had a morbid fascination with the cruelty of leftism because it always comes with what they see as a moral justification. The left can denounce everything someone does as a heinous social sin of the worst kind, worthy of social isolation and exclusion, and then, in the same breath, do or say the exact same thing.

As I've said for years, the unofficial motto of the left is, and always will be, "it's okay when we do it." //

These intimidation tactics are disgusting, considering this isn't just affecting Vance but his wife and three children of two, four, and six years of age. To be sure, if this was happening in the opposite direction and these were Republicans doing this outside the personal home of a politician with young children, you'd never heard the end of it from activists, the media, and social media denizens. //

She quotes Luke Conway, a Grove City College psychology professor who studies authoritarian tendencies in populations. While he discovered both the left and the right have these tendencies, the left is largely blind to their own:

“When conservatives agree with those items, they subsequently admit (accurately) that they are authoritarian,” Conway wrote. “When liberals agree with those items, they actually are more likely to say they are not authoritarian.” The more authoritarian they are, the less they believe they are authoritarian, he notes. //

how often do you see leftists on social media, or in the media, or activist groups, completely and totally memory hole the real suffering and brutality put upon others that don't align with their way of thinking.

Those killed by illegal migrants. Trump's assassination attempt. The beating of Rand Paul by his neighbor. Antifa's attacks and assaults. The destruction and death connected to the Black Lives Matter riots. The utilization of government departments to attack citizens that reject leftist agendas.

All of these things are wholly pushed into the shadows or, when brought up, justified through some flimsy means or subjected to ridiculous and often untrue "whataboutism."

This can only be done if they truly see their opponents as not deserving of human treatment because they see them, you, as less than human. //

Honestly, I actually think it isn't even that complicated. Of the seven deadly sins, many would argue Pride is the worst and the source for the other six.

Leftists teach that to be special has less to do with the kind of person you are than the kind of person you say you are. Combine that with a tendency many humans have in which they enjoy being cruel and you have a system that rewards cruelty in the name of right-think.

In other words, leftists give in to the worst parts of human nature simply because they enjoy it.
