I am sure that the 892^nd Trump or Harris commercial changed your mind about who to vote for. Way to spend those millions DNC or RNC!

BTW, if you don’t know who you are going to vote for by now, do me a favor and stay home.

More BTW, 80 million eligible voters did not vote in 2020. Evangelistic Christians are said to be the largest block that does not vote. Maybe they just pray for the correct result. Speaking of which, if I were seriously ill I would be reluctant to go to Baptist hospital. Heal!

Harris says that she will bring down prices. What is she going to do – reverse all the Biden policies that drove up inflation in the first place? Maybe she is secretly an Evangelistic Christian and will pray on it.

There is a Harris commercial blasting Trump over his billionaire buds. What about Kamala’s billionaire bros (Mark Cuban, George Soros, Reid Hoffman, Bill Gates, Mark Zukerberg, Howard Schultz, Michael Bloomberg, Tom Steyer, Laurene Powell Jobs, Marc Benioff, Jonathan Gray, Crystal Sacca, Reed Hastings, Melinda French Gates, Sheryl Sandberg, and Vinod Khosla)? I probably left out someone – sorry bro!

BTW what’s a female bro – a broette?

Another Harris ad says that if Trump is elected he will go after his political enemies. I guess just like Biden and his toady ADs have gone after Trump. Payback time? Actually, if Trump tried to go after all his enemies, he wouldn’t have time to do anything else.

I am so over all these political ads, I think I have worn out my mute button.

Hate to see all that effort go to waste. Maybe the CIA can use them instead of waterboarding.

The NFL has a game scheduled in Germany: Giants versus Panthers. Another game was the Bears versus the Jaguars. I thought they were trying to popularize the game abroad? Maybe they think that Europeans know nothing about the game so who cares if they are subjected to an inferior product. Titans, anyone?

BTW, I’m not a pro football fan.

The Babylon Bee has a hilarious video “10 Things to do Before Trump takes Power.” I was going to send it to my leftist friends but decided not to because they would think it was serious.

A quarter of Americans think that serious civil disobedience will occur after the election. Some of the pundits – who should know better – bloviate that we are at a crossroads and the country is in serious danger. I guess they don’t remember that we somehow survived a Civil War, a Great Depression and the civil unrest of the 1960s. We will survive the next four years, regardless of who is elected. Americans are much more resilient than they are given credit for. I have always been bullish on this country and will continue to be.

You know my love for baseball. It stems from my father planning our summer vacations around the Brooklyn Dodgers’ schedule. If they were in Brooklyn we would go stay with my mother’s brother (Uncle Son). If they were in Cincinnati, we would stay with my father’s brother, Uncle Floyd. Dad loved the Dodgers because of Jackie Robinson while I was a Cleveland Indians fan because of Larry Doby.

Although I dislike both the Yankees and the Dodgers, I still watched the World Series and found it highly entertaining . Others did too because the Monday night game outdrew Monday Night Football. The first game with Freeman’s walk off grand slam down by a run with two outs was why baseball is great. The last two innings of game five were tension-filled. Each pitch was meaningful and although I don’t like the Dodgers, I like the Yankees even less.

I was glad that Freeman was the MVP, especially after all that he has endured this year. I’ll never forgive the Braves for letting him go to the Dodgers.

While Freeman was the World Series MVP, the Dodgers best player during the season was Shohei Otani. Yoshinobu Yamamoto gave them enough starting pitching to help conserve their bullpen. It is only fitting that their manager is a Japanese American, Dave Roberts, who now has three World Series rings. Hall of Fame? I know that Roberts will not be manager of the year because of the Dodgers’ payroll, but he should be. Consider that three of the Dodgers starting four could not pitch: Kershaw, May, and Glassnow. A least four other front line pitchers were out due to injury. Even Yamamoto and Walker Buehler spent time on the DL. The established mantra of MLB is that good pitching beats good hitting. Yet the Dodgers prevailed. Roberts has come under a lot of criticism from the nitpicking, second guessing, super critical media and I am glad to see them with egg in their faces. 

The only negative was – as usual – the missed balls and strikes calls of the umpires. Torres in game one was especially inconsistent. I noticed that they took the strike zone box off the screen so you could not see the missed calls. But they were still obvious. What I don’t understand is why MLB doesn’t assign its highest rated umpires to the playoffs and especially to the World Series. Here are the ratings from Umpire Auditor. Note that none are in the top 10. Shame on MLB .

I was on a local radio show where the host told the callers that I was black. I corrected him saying that I was “mostly black” having 10 distinct DNA strains. 

Obama (who may not even be mostly black) has chided me and other black men about having less than 100 percent of us supporting Harris. “And you are thinking about sitting out?” he said. “Part of it makes me think — and I’m speaking to men directly — part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that.”

Obama actually said “Aren ‘t feeling the idea of having a woman as president”? I’m surprised he didn’t try to feel the idea of trying to be black by rapping the words.

Michelle Obama joined in the chiding with: ”If we don’t get this election right, your wife, your daughter, your mother, we as women will become collateral damage to your rage. So are you as men prepared to look into the eyes of the women and children you love and tell them you supported this assault on our safety?”

I don’t know what assault she was referring to. I doubt if it was the assault perpetrated on unborn black babies. Maybe the Obamas should have said “you should get down on your knees and thank your mothers that they did not decide to abort you like 50 percent of your unborn brothers.”

The lapdog media chimed in saying that black men are sexist if they do not support Harris.

All of this strains credulity. First, Obama doesn’t know jack first hand about black men. He was raised by his white mother in Hawaii, went to Ivy League schools and is a multimillionaire with million dollar homes. Not exactly the hood. However, he can identify with being raised by a mother without his father around like the majority of black boys today. If anything, black males are the antithesis of sexist. They are raised by women and I believe the long braided hair and earrings are so prevalent among black men because they wish to emulate the most important people in their lives – their mothers and grandmothers. Sexist? Hardly.

Second, Harris like Obama is not of the ‘hood and she too may not be “mostly black”. She was raised in Canada by her Indian PhD mother. Like Obama she was raised without a father in the home. Isn’t it ironic that neither black democrat presidential candidates are African-Americans (although Obama’s father is African)? So why should blacks have blind allegiance to Harris simply because she happens not to be white? 

Why all this scolding and finger pointing? I thought Harris’ was the campaign of joy. Do you feel the joy? I don’t and never did. If any campaign is having fun, it is Trump’s. The photo op at McDonald’s was brilliant. Harris should have done it right after she claimed to have worked at McDonalds. But her campaign lacks imagination (and joy). Then there was Biden saying that Trump supporters were garbage. Again Trump’s reaction was brilliant riding to a rally in a garbage truck and saying “You can’t lead America if you don’t love Americans.” Do you think Harris, Biden and the left love America and Americans? If so, where are the American flags in their neighborhoods? I have yet to see one when I drive through my old neighborhoods in Atlanta. Yet at the family farm in Gray, it seems like there is one in front of almost every house on our highway along with a Trump Vance yard sign.

Many are predicting violence if Trump wins. Are democrats again going to loot and burn their own cities? Can’t they rent some busses or Ubers and go burn down the suburbs?

“Make Orwell fiction again.”

One of my leftist friends has custom made baseball caps. The latest ones are anti-MAGA. I am going to have one made that says “Make Orwell fiction again.” Both of us can wear that one. He would wear it if Trump wins since he think that Trump will try to make himself dictator and will rule by edict and use the federal government to harass and intimidate his enemies. I would wear it because that is what the democrats are doing and what they will continue to do if they stay in power.

I think that in their typical overreach the democrats have brought back Big Brother. Their terrorizing Trump and his supporters, the harassing of anti-abortion activists, the unleashing the FBI and the Department of “Justice” to do the bidding of the left and relentless assault on the foundations of our republic have created considerable angst amongst the rest of us. Who among us is not just plain tired and fed up of the relentless barrage of whining about abortion and their obsession with equity, climate and gender? Trump has said he does not favor a national bill banning abortion and will leave it to the states where it belongs. He will terminate all the DEI within the federal government and restore the military to being a lethal force rather than its mission of promoting racial, gender and LGBTQ equity. He will terminate the Green New Deal that spends trillions and has no measurable impact on global temperatures. Trump believes that China rather than the climate is the existential threat facing the country.

If Trump wins next week, he should first thank the democrats for keeping him relevant. If the democrats had ignored him after the 2020 defeat, Trump would be an afterthought. He would be like Hillary Clinton, a pitiful whining harpy that makes hateful sounds that everyone ignores. Instead, the attacks on Trump and his supporters following the election have kept him in the public’s eye and made him a sympathetic figure. When Trump won, even though he could have insisted that his Justice Department go after Hillary, she escaped investigation for her roles in Benghazi, the Steele Dossier and all the emails. By not prosecuting her, she became Mrs. Irrelevant. On the other hand, the democrats went after Trump for no reason other than they hated him and wanted to bankrupt him, lock him up and force him out of the political scene. It didn’t work.

If Harris wins, it will only be because Trump was the republican nominee. A Harris victory would not be an endorsement of the Biden years but a testament to the fear and loathing of Donald Trump. A Harris victory would continue to unleash the left’s agenda on the country. I keep reading that the Biden policies have pushed the country to being center-right. Yet the democrats remain solidly left and definitely not center left. Where are the Scoop Jacksons, JFKs and Joe Liebermans in today’s democrat party? There is only one pro life democrat in the congress (Henry Cuellar) and the left ran a candidate against him in the primaries. The left used Biden to further their agenda and stuff their policies down the throats of the public. A Harris victory would double down on their triumvirate of climate, gender and equity. So if you liked the last four years, if Harris wins you should love the next four.

Its probably a coincidence that the week before the election, the government released that the US economy grew by 2.8 percent last quarter. Some are patting themselves on the back but most of the growth is in defense spending. The crucial area of business investment spending was anemic. Just like the jobs growth overstated new jobs by 800,000 I would not be surprised if the growth figures were adjusted downward after the election. A friend of mine pointed to the growth numbers and the stock market and asked me what did I think about the economy. I told him that the strength of the economy showed how resilient it was. I said that the economy is an eight cylinder turbo charged engine running on 5 cylinders. With a dead weight of $1 trillion in government regulations, an ever changing tax code, growing federal debt and political uncertainty, the economy keeps chugging along. Any other economy would be stagnating. Yet 2.8 percent is no cause for congratulations. Our normal real rate of growth should be twice that.

Some more seemingly random thoughts

I love baseball but the World Series is the evil empire versus the evil empire. I wish that both teams could lose while only Freddie Freeman has a great series.

I understand the economics of not resigning Freeman, opting instead for a younger less expensive, but still a very good replacement in Olson. But sometimes player loyalty and respect for the fans should outweigh the marginal gain from saving a few bucks and getting a younger player.

Isn’t Elon Musk an African American?

Musk has guts. Can you imagine all the lawfare in the form of federal investigations into his finances, his tax returns and the harassment of all of his businesses if Harris wins?

Why hasn’t the left called for a boycott of Tesla? They seem to want to boycott any business that supports Trump.

The Washington Post has lost 200,000 of its 2.5 million subscribers after it didn’t endorse Harris. The Post lost $77 million last year, so what’s a few more dollars?

Do you think Jeff Bezos really cares? Let’s see if the left calls for a boycott of Amazon. You think that those 200,000 would do that?

Bezos also has guts. Maybe its easier if you happen to have $211 billion dollars.

The LA Times only lost 2,000 of its 500,000 subscribers by not endorsing Harris. Its owner Patrick Soon-Shiong is also a billionaire African American (he like Musk was born in South Africa). He has guts too – and $6 billion.

Bezos did say that the media was the least trusted institution in American, having bested the Congress for that honor. He said that the public did not trust the media to report accurately. Of course the American public writ large recognizes that fact but the left does not.

An example of the pettiness of the left is when they published a hit piece on the health department citations of the McDonald’s where Trump “worked”.

I know it was a pure coincidence that after Trump was at McDonalds, a story appeared linking their quarter pounders to an outbreak of e coli. Later it was revealed that there was no evidence of e coli. Nevertheless, this is another example of what the media will inflict on you if you don’t toe their line.

The democrats are today’s “bitter clingers.”

How can a former attorney general of California, a former US Senator and a sitting vice president be the least able presidential candidate ever?

Harris can’t even answer a question from a friendly interviewer. Harris has actually said that she is slow to answer questions because she needs to research it first. That admission should be disqualifying.

One of many examples of her inability or unwillingness to answer a question was in the interview she had at Fox. Bret Baier asked her how many illegals had been released into the country during her tenure. Here is her “answer”: “Well, I’m glad you raise the issue of immigration because I agree with you, it is a topic of discussion that people want to rightly have. And you know what I’m going to talk about right now, which is — “. Baier then said “But do you — just a number. Do you think it’s 1 million, 3 million? Her answer was: “But Bret, let’s just get to the point, OK?” “The point is that we have a broken immigration system that needs to be repaired.” At least it was not one of her famous word salads.

Her inability to answer question and the deer in the headlights look on her face as she struggles to formulate a response even to friendly interviewers has led many of her distractors to say that she is stupid. One has called her an “idiot” say that she is “wildly, catastrophically, incontestably out of her depth.” To be fair, the same commentator has called Donald Trump a “lunatic.” 

Those more sympathetic (note the word “pathetic”) insist that her answers are “nuanced.” One of her nuanced responses was “It is time for us to be doing what we are doing and the time for us to do it is every day.” How about her nuanced foreign policy statement, “Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country.” I particularly like the one where she says:  a “moment in time in which we exist and are present, and to be able to contextualize it, to understand where we exist in the history and in the moment as it relates not only to the past but the future.” Nuanced indeed.

I guess some folks prefer double digit inflation, open borders, high energy prices, mandates against internal combustion engines, high crime rates, anti-Semitism, LBGTQ/trans pandering, war of fossil fuels, and restarting Iran’s nuclear program to Trump.

Of what use is the FBI? The FBI is clearly now a political wing of the democrat party. The stench of J. Edgar Hoover remains. Christopher Wray and James Comey before him are political hacks. They fostered the Russia conspiracy hoax, sat on the Hunter Biden laptop, failed to protect Trump against the assassination attempt, harassed Trump supporters and are now accused of covering up Iran’s interference in the 2024 election. Maybe it is time to disband the FBI and assign its duties to more competent law enforcement agencies.

Also while we are at it lets defund the UN.

Joe Biden Dictator

Kamala Harris and the democrats are shouting that Trump wants to be a dictator. Harris and all her surrogates are screaming “dictator”, “fascist”, “threat to democracy”. They have turned “MAGA” into a pejorative. Remember Biden’s dark threatening speech in which he said “Donald Trump’s campaign is about him. Not America, not you. Donald Trump’s campaign is obsessed with the past. Not the future. He’s willing to sacrifice our democracy to put himself in power”?

Obviously, they are ignoring the dictator in their midst, one Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. who has issued over 140 executive orders. Unilaterally, he has shut down pipelines, stopped the exporting of liquified natural gas, denuded the Border Patrol, order agencies to harness advanced AI, extended national orders on national security and terrorism, ordered schools to make their active shooter drills less traumatic, ordered nationwide submission to the trans agenda, made at least 10 orders on diversity, and 690 proclamations such as the “Memorandum on Advancing the Human Rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex Persons Around the World.” There is an executive order to “achieve a carbon pollution-free electricity sector by 2035 and net-zero emissions economy-wide by no later than 2050.” Biden unilaterally stopped new oil and gas leases on federal lands. The secretary of the interior was to also adjust coal, oil, and gas royalties in order to account for climate costs, suggesting the possibility of a royalty increase. I could go on and on and on. None of these actions were approved by the Congress. And what of all the mandates emanating from the agencies? 

What about all the regulations? In 2023 Biden added a stunning 90,942 pages to the Federal Register, the second highest in history (Obama’s 95,894 is the record). This was in addition to the 79,856 pages he added in 2022. It is a wonder that America can function under the weight of all this paperwork. The estimates of the costs of compliance are as high as $700 billion a year. I would not be surprised if the actual costs are more than $1 trillion.

I have previously noted what I would do if I were dictator for a year. Add to that list that I would dictate that the number of pages in the Federal Register be capped, meaning that any new additions must be meet with an equal number of deletions. 

Basically, the democrats don’t fear a dictatorship as long as it is their dictator.

What National Voter Report?

Do you ever scratch your heads wondering if your brain is suddenly addled and all of a sudden you are confused or just plain slow? That is happening to me. At the farm in Georgia, there are ads aired continuously on the presidential race. They are mostly Harris ads. One says that Trump will cut Social Security assumed that the voter is uninformed and doesn’t know that Trump has always vowed not to touch Social Security. One is that Trump will raise taxes to the average household by $4,000 despite Trump’s pledge to cut taxes. However, the one that is perplexing has a seal that looks like it was drawn by my 10 year old great grandson that says “National Voter Report”. Try to Google it and you won’t find the ad. Rather you get sites mainly for National Voter Registration Day. Go to YouTube and you won’t find it either.

But the ad does exists. The Washington Free Beacon runs an article on it at https://freebeacon.com/elections/dem-super-pac-runs-intimidating-ads-in-cities-with-high-black-populations-your-friends-and-family-will-be-able-to-see-how-often-you-vote/

What is strange is that when I saw it in Georgia, I thought it was an effort by the democrats intimidating some people not to vote rather than intimidating black people to vote. Given that 800,000 registered republicans did not vote in the 2020 election and Biden won the state by 11,000 votes, it seemed reasonable to assume that there would an effort to suppress the republican vote given the mistrust of the government harbored by many on the right.

Here is what the ad says:

“Who you vote for is private, but IF you vote is public information. After this election, your voter record will be updated, and your friends and family will be able to see how often you vote.” 

“Remember, who you vote for is secret, but whether you vote is public information. … After the election, your voting record will be updated based on your participation on Nov. 5, so vote.” 

Doesn’t this sound like voter suppression to you? Well you can imagine my surprise to find out that the ad is paid for by Future Forward, a leftwing super PAC funded by billionaires for Kamala such as Bill Gates and Reid Hoffman (LinkedIn). The ad is being played in major markets with large black populations like the Atlanta MSA. So would someone please tell me how an intimidating ad that says that if you vote everyone will know it, is going to get blacks to go vote for Harris? I would think just the opposite. This is a Big Brother ad that would discourage voting or am I missing something.

By the way, I tried to capture the ad to post here but my screen kept freezing which was really weird. I ask why isn’t it on Google? Why isn’t it on YouTube? Why can’t I capture the image? Am I being paranoic? 

Donald J. Trump, a grudging admiration and other thoughts

There are 325,000 missing illegal immigrant children. Where is the outrage? Remember all the noise about “children in cages” when Trump was in office? The missing children are another reason Mayorkas should be impeached and convicted. That the media is ignoring this is scandalous.

There was a leak of the Israeli plans to strike Iran. Big surprise given all the pro Hamas sympathizers in the Biden Administration. I would not be shocked if the Israelis had not planted fake plans because surely they know that they can’t trust this bunch in the White House.

Isn’t it amusing seeing all the phony outreach of the Harris campaign to men? There are the “White dudes for Kamala”. How many of these are manly men? Not Walz who was demonstrating his ineptitude with a shotgun. All this after the left has demonized males (remember toxic masculinity) since Rush Limbaugh talked about the feminization of American men. And of course, Harris is trying to appeal to black men by offering to legalize marijuana. Give me a break. I thought those on the far left were misandrists.

Fernando Valenzuela just died too young at 63. Although he was not the first Mexican in American baseball, he was the most impactful. One of the few to win rookie of the year and the Cy Young in the same year, he energized the Dodgers and the rest of baseball. Even though he does not have Hall of Fame statistics, he should be in the Hall nonetheless. What was impressive about him was that even though at first he spoke no English, he mastered the language, something that other Latin stars failed to do. I get irritated when players have to speak through an interpreter.

One of my leftist socialist progressive friends fears what will happen if Trump loses. She thinks that his ardent supporters will start shooting people like her. She says that January 6 will be child’s play compared to what will come next. She is actually scared. On the other hand, there are those who say that George Floyd type of demonstrations with burning and looting will take place if Trump wins. Let’s hope that both are wrong. But Harris is stoking the fires lately with calling Trump a fascist, a dictator, a threat to democracy and all the rest. Apparently she is trying to scare the hell out of the voting public with her smear campaign. Trump had better watch his back. 

Did you know that polls show that the majority of Harris voters are blissfully unaware of her far left positions. Talk about the uninformed voter.

Now as to Donald Trump who may be the most remarkable politician in American history. He is detested by the political establishment – both democrats and republicans – precisely because he is not part of the establishment. I cannot recall another successful presidential candidate completely devoid of political experience, save Dwight Eisenhower. Even Reagan was governor of California. Trump is not beholding to the establishment. He is his own man. He was smart enough to declare himself a republican because he knew the futile attempt at running as an independent – just ask Ross Perot. He knew that a significant amount of the electorate was sick and tired of career politicians. They were tired of being ignored. They were tired of seeing their values trashed, their religion ridiculed, government spending out of control, EV mandates and regulations that crippled initiative, boys in girls’ locker rooms and on girls’ teams, open borders, inflation, LBGTQ flags flying over the White House and government buildings and all the rest. 

So when Trump announced that he was running to make America great again, millions applauded and much to the dismay of the republicans, he started winning primaries. Trump does not owe anyone anything. He can set his own agenda. Career politicians both domestic and abroad hate him. Trump doesn’t want to rock the boat. He wants to sink it. Trump says that America is treated like a sucker abroad and he will change it. He will change unfavorable trade agreements. He will force NATO countries to pay their fair share. No wonder the Europeans don’t want to see him again. He will confront China. There are questions about what he will do with Israel and the Ukraine. One thing is for certain: he will do something. He will drive energy prices and inflation back down by drilling, fracking, junking the Green New Deal and liberating natural gas.

So a billionaire can relate to every day folk better than their haughty elected officials. Despite the fact that he is crude, profane and possibly xenophobic and racist none of that really matters to those masses that have been trod upon by their politicians. People know that during his time in office, those faults were immaterial to the final result that they were better off than under Obama and Biden. Trump is not playing their game. Lobbyists hate him because they have little influence over his actions. Trump is the most successful grassroots politician in American history.

Trump has withstood all the persecution, indictments and lawfare from the Department of “Justice” and assorted democrat AGs. The “Justice” Department has tried to intimidate his close associates. Biden wants to lock him up and has done that to some of Trump supporters. Goodness knows that Jack Smith, Alvin Bragg, Letitia James, and Fani Willis have tried. It doesn’t even matter that 90% of media reporting is negative. Trump once said that if the republican party could purge itself of RINOS it would totally dominate politics. No wonder Mitch McConnell doesn’t like him. Still McConnell kept Merrick Garland off the Supreme Court so I will cut him a break. 

Trump’s brilliance is showing the public that anti-establishment does not mean anti-rich. Even though Harris is playing the politics of envy card, the voters are not buying it. Trump’s negatives have actually decreased as the attacks have intensified. His negatives are less now than in 2016 and 2020. Maybe that should send the democrats a signal that all this vitriol is not working.

Finally, I don’t like Donald Trump but I admire his becoming the republican nominee without kowtowing to the establishment. I admire his tenacity, courage and fortitude in withstanding all the abuse heaped upon him and continuing to flip his finger at the establishment both left and right, home and abroad.

Et tu, Liz?

Kamala Harris says that prices of groceries are too high and she will bring them down. I wonder if she realizes that the policies of her administration caused them to be high in the first place? One reason she is afraid to have a press conference is that she will be asked that question.

Ms. Harris: How do you define price gouging?

Ms. Harris: What empirical evidence do you have of price gouging?

Ms. Harris: Have you studied the relationship between wholesale prices on food and retail prices and concluded that they have diverged abnormally during your administration?

Huh?

Did you see her facial expression when she was asked on the View if she would have changed anything over the past four years? It was a “deer in the headlights” and spoke volumes. After a significant pause she said that she could not think of anything. That spoke volumes as well.

Her CNN Town Hall with Anderson Cooper was widely panned, even by democrats. It seems that she did not answer any of the questions – I’m beginning to think that she just for some reason has not thought through what should be obvious questions. She was noted as giving nothing but her famous word salads. If you read the reports on CNN they contrast sharply with the reports on other sites. CNN actually makes Harris sound thoughtful and intelligent. But even CNN admits that she really didn’t answer any of the questions. 

Harris mentioned her teaming up with Liz Cheney. Well here are some of Cheney’s earlier quotes about Harris.

This is taken mainly from https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/all-the-times-ex-gop-rep-liz-cheney-ripped-radical-kamala-harris-before-endorsement/ar-AA1rESX0

These are quotes from Liz Cheney

Kamala Harris is a radical liberal who would raise taxes, take away guns & health insurance, and explode the size and power of the federal gov’t. She wants to recreate America in the image of what’s happening on the streets of Portland & Seattle. We won’t give her the chance.

A radical liberal who sounds just like Karl Marx, Cheney said regarding Harris saying that Americans should forego pursuing equal opportunity for equity of outcomes in all aspects of society.

Harris once said that convicted felons should have the right to vote. Cheney mocked her saying, “Coming soon Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders will launch their “Absentee ballots for al Queda Program.”

Cheney also said that the pick “tells us something about Joe Biden. It tells us that he is not really leading his party. He’s not really in charge.”

“Joe Biden has been trying to portray himself as the moderate in this race, as somebody who centrist, and in one fell swoop here he has put somebody on the ticket whose voting record in the Senate is to the left of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.” 

“Every single day the Democrats tell us what they would do as Kamala Harris put it yesterday. A Harris Administration would defund our police, dismantle our freedom, destroy our history and abandon our founding values.” 

“The president has said that Vice President Harris is in charge of the border. Vice president s not in charge of the border. Nobody seems in charge. She hasn’t been there. And we have a humanitarian and risis and health crisis unfolding there.” 

I wonder why the “Town Hall” moderators didn’t ask Harris about this.

A Few More Observations

I wonder how many people in Harris’ ads are actors. In some commercials there is a line that says “actor portrayal”. Maybe they should do the same in political ads. In one Harris ad is a woman who said she voted for Trump but will now vote for Harris. Is she a real person and if so why did she flip? Was it because of the wonderful economic environment during Biden-Harris compared to what existed under Trump?

Speaking of Trump, the democrats blame Trump for everything, including their bad economy. Yet despite all the negative press on the side effects of the COVID mRNA vaccines, there is total silence. The democrats continue to push the vaccines and the boosters. They mandated them for the military and tried to mandate them to the general public. Yet there is solid evidence of an increase in myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle. There is also statistical evidence of increased transverse myelitis and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. I have two close friends who almost died after taking the second shot. I wonder why the dems just don’t say they were duped and all these side effects are Trump’s fault?

Are you going to get any of the boosters?

Liz Cheney was in a “Town Hall” with Harris. I put Town Hall in quotes because it was not an open forum. One member of the audience wanted to know if they could ask questions and was told by the “moderator” Maria Shriver “You are not, unfortunately, we have some predetermined questions.” What! This is more damning evidence that Harris cannot think on her feet and has to be given questions beforehand so she can memorize the answers. By the way, she botched one of the answers. Again, it is no wonder that she continues to refuse to hold a press conference.

Harris, being magnanimous, said that she would appoint a republican to her cabinet. Hum. I wonder who that might be?

As to Liz Cheney, most republicans despise her so she won’t sway many republicans to drop all their principles and vote for Harris. Most will hold their nose and vote for Trump. Cheney is also intensely disliked by the Muslim community for her support of her father who was Bush’s vice president during the use of waterboarding of Muslim terrorists. A coalition of Muslim groups issued the following statement “Vice President Harris should have never hosted a campaign event alongside Liz Cheney, an anti-Muslim bigot and far-right war hawk who continues to openly endorse the crime of torture, including waterboarding.”  “The Harris campaign’s decision to platform Cheney is an insult to every American who worked to oppose the Bush-Cheney administration’s criminal policies and to everyone around the world who died due to those policies.” Oops.

Liz Cheney said at the Town Hall “If you wouldn’t hire Trump to babysit your kids, don’t make him president.” Isn’t that a weird comment made before Harris whose husband impregnated his first wife’s nanny? 

Obama continues to insult black men lecturing them as to why they should support Harris. Does anyone pay any attention to Obama anymore? His Ivy League education and million dollar villas are far removed from the life of the average black man. Anyway, 77% of black men are voting for Harris. In any other world, 77% is a landslide.

Twenty-eight percent of Americans say that the country is on the right track. Who are these people? Likely members of the Biden administration and those getting the Green New Deal handouts.

Is Harris capable of giving a speech on the greatness of America? 

It is estimated that 41 million Evangelist Christians will not vote in this election. 41 million! Is it they won’t vote democrat because that party ridicules them and because of their stance on abortion? Is it they won’t vote for a Trump because of his profane nature and past history with women? Forty-one million sitting this one out is amazing.

Trump surrogates are saying that he is using the threat of tariffs to secure better trade deals. Recall that he wrote “The Art of the Deal.” In his Chicago interview Trump used the example of when France was going to impose additional taxes on American firms, Trump threatened to impose a 100% tariff on French champagne and wine. France immediately dropped the tax.  The question that came to my mind is why didn’t he keep the 100% tariff on to protect the American champagne and wine industry and protect American jobs? Isn’t that essence of his argument for tariffs?

Harris’ parents were legal immigrants. Her mother from India and her father from Jamaica. Both were PhDs. Her mother was a breast cancer researcher at Berkeley with a doctorate in endocrinology. Her father was an economics professor at Stanford. Yet unlike her younger sister, Harris did not attend these schools. Rather she went to Howard University and then to Hastings Law School. Unlike the “elite” law schools, Hastings accepts about 50 percent of all applicants. With an acceptance rate that high one wonders why Harris was admitted under a DEI program intended for students for disadvantaged economic and educational backgrounds. She was neither. This somewhat reminds me of a white student in one of my classes who was South African. He told me that when it suited him he put “African-American” down on applications.
