So the bit with Trump and Arlington ….it turns out it was quite a bit different than what the mainstream media was passing along.. (look closely and you’ll see my shocked face.)
In a move that was scummy even for her, Kamala Harris had the audacity to attack Donald Trump for appearing at the memorial for service members who died at Abbey Gate in Afghanistan. And, by extension, she attacked the Gold Star families who invited him to be there.
Let’s not forget that the reason that those soldiers are dead is because of the totally botched Afghanistan withdrawal run by, you guessed it, Biden and Harris. That’s a point that wasn’t lost on the gold star families that invited Mr Trump.
Steven Miller says it best:
Harris has never spoken to any family member of the Abbey-Gate bombing. Trump was at Arlington at their request, as was his photographer. This is pretty gross.
These families have been ignored by the media, ignored by Harris, stood by while Biden checked his watch during the dignified transfer, only talked to them about his son, one father has been arrested for protesting Biden’s SOTU and now here’s Harris attempting to politicize and speak for them. Like I said, pretty gross.
Also, John Hinderaker
“If the Democrats were smart, they would avoid like the plague any
reference to Joe Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan. It was universally, and correctly, seen as a debacle, and the Afghanistan
fiasco precipitated a drop in Biden’s approval ratings from which he
never recovered. Normal observers see that the current controversy was stirred up by the Democrats in hopes of political gain. The controversy, kept alive by Democrats, mostly serves to remind voters of one of the Biden/Harris administration’s worst failures, and to tie that failure more securely to Kamala Harris. So in my opinion the Democrats’ attacks on Trump for his Arlington visit constitute political malpractice. We can only hope that they keep it up.”
John, if I were you I wouldn’t worry about it. You know as well as I that they simply can’t help themselves.
How do you go into an interview, knowing what the questions are going to be, having the answers all written out for you, you’re allowed to edit the tape of that interview, and the resulting recording still has you looking like a complete fool on National television to the point where CNN who is ostensibly Democrat TV, has to pull it down in mid sentence?
Democrats are you really sure this is what you want to offer the American people?
I believe the assassination attempts are not random occurrences, but rather are aimed at people who threaten the establishments power.
Found this on at Wikipedia. I usually don’t quote them, but this list seems partially pertinent to the point.
Four sitting presidents have been killed: Abraham Lincoln (1865, by John Wilkes Booth), James A. Garfield (1881, by Charles J. Guiteau), William McKinley (1901, by Leon Czolgosz), and John F. Kennedy (1963, by Lee Harvey Oswald). Ronald Reagan (1981, by John Hinckley Jr.) is the only U.S. president to have been injured in an assassination attempt while in office and survive. Two former presidents, Theodore Roosevelt (1912, by John Schrank) and Donald Trump (2024, by Thomas Matthew Crooks) have also been injured in attacks.[2]
There’s more of course. Martin Luther King, RFK. Charles Caldwell. Jose Francisco Chavez. John clayton. Linda Collins. James Garfield.
This is hardly a complete list but do you know what all these individuals have in common?
The answer is that they each were a serious threat to the political establishment.
So the Trump campaign is saying that he would veto a National abortion ban. Constitutionally speaking that’s a wise move because such a ban would get overturned it just as quickly as Roe did if it ever came up.
And by the way, he also said that he would veto a National abortion ban when he was president the first time around. Have to dig up where I wrote about that back in the day. This is not, repeat, not a new position for Trump. This is not a politically convenience statement. This is a position of constitutional fact.
The Constitution does not address abortion either directly or indirectly and since that’s true the 10th amendment applies to where those rights and responsibilities are reserved to the states not to the Federal government.
If the left actually gave a damn about the Constitution they would understand this going in and wouldn’t be raising hell about a National abortion ban to begin with.
It’s simply not going to happen with Trump in the white house. Then again you’re not going to have mobile abortion and vasectomy clinics parked out in front of the White House either.
What little we’ve heard from the Democrats on policy … all of it bad… clearly demonstrates that the basement campaigns waged by Biden and Harris were probably a good idea.
As an example,”the strongest economy ever” wouldn’t need anybody proposing price controls.
When you hear somebody praising the Democrats because gasoline has come down 20 cents a gallon, remind them that it’s still $2 a gallon more than it was when the Democrats took over.
…so they built an impenetrable wall around their convention and required ID from anyone entering the venue.
Donald trump, Robert Kennedy jr, Elon Musk. All of them former Democrats who have had enough of what the Democrat party has become.
From George an indication of just how crazy these people are…
BREAKING: A California State Senate Committee has approved a bill to allow illegal migrants to buy homes with $0 down payments and 0% interest
The bill passed in the House and is expected to be approved by the Senate and signed by Governor Gavin Newsom. Two million illegals will qualify for the program
“The social and economic benefits of homeownership should be available to everyone.” – Assemblymember Joaquin Arambula
Specifically, AB 1840, will prevent the state’s Dream for All Shared Appreciation Loans program from denying individuals on the basis of their immigration status. The program will allow applicants to get “loans” of up to 20% of the home’s purchase price — or, about what a typical down payment is — with zero down payment on the state loan required. There are also no provisions on how the “borrower” can pay back. Meaning they can get the home and live in it for as long as they want without ever paying a dime
I know, I’m still trying to wrap my head around it too. I guess trying to use logic to understand what CAN’T be logical is pointless.
So the supposed experts are telling us that global warming (now they call it climate change so they won’t get backed into a corner) is making the planet’s weather unpredictable. But if you think about it, solar power and wind power are entirely dependent on, you guessed it, the weather. I think they were hoping we didn’t stumble across that one.
If the Democrats did a good job for the last 4 years as we are being told, why is it that they want to fix everything on day one of being reelected? What is it that they’re fixing but their own policy?
And if what they did for the last 4 years needs fixing why on Earth is anyone supporting them for reelection?
Yeah where have we heard this one before?
Zero hedge:
“On Wednesday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics will downward revise jobs for the April 2023-March 2024 period by up to 1 million. This means that all “beats” recorded in the past year will have been misses and the US job market is in far worse shape than the admin would admit”
Now frankly, it would be all too easy to lay this all at the feet of Joe Biden. It’s true, he is certainly responsible. But does anyone believe that there’s going to be any changes in direction between what Joe Biden gave us and what Kamala Harris will give us?
Face it, neither one of them has the mental capacity of a flatworm. There’s no way that Biden has been running things and making decisions for the country. He had ideologue underlings running things. The same people would be running the show under Harris as we had with Biden.
Can anybody look at the last 4 years and honestly say we’re going to survive another four in the same hands?
America is the last best hope for freedom. Once we lose it here it’s gone. I’ll look at what’s happening in England just now, what’s left of it, should be the loudest wake up call ever.
At this point in 2016 the god-awful pig in the pantsuit, the owner of Arkancide, Inc, was five points ahead. Note the Democrats this time around aren’t even near that.
One notable point about the Harris campaign thus far is a total lack of any discussion of actual policy. The only thing that she’s come up with so far was to attempt stealing Donald Trump’s no tax on tips thing. I suspect and suppose that this appearance of being an empty vessel means that a Harris presidency would be more of the same disastrous results that the meat puppet gave us.
Those are policies that they dare not discuss because they know it’s not going to go well even with a lot of Democrats. So, the empty chair once again.
Who visited China 30x on a school teacher salary?
It makes all kinds of sense that the Democrats would be holding their convention and what is unquestionably the most corrupt city in America. As they said back in 1968, the whole world is watching this one. The open question at this point is how much the world will be shown of what actually happens there by the mainstream media which has without any question become the propaganda arm of the Democrat party.
Thus far, Walz has avoided press conferences and any discussion of substance for that matter as if they were a deployment.
I’m just going to leave this one right here
And if you think this isn’t what’s happening everywhere in the West, try again.
First of all, it should be noted that the Democrats don’t care about stolen valor anyway, or the senior senator from Connecticut would not be the senior senator from Connecticut, but rather, prisoner a6751.
Does Walz have a legalistic hoop to jump through to escape the criticism? Well yes, and no.
Certainly he can make the legalistic argument based on what’s been put forward.(And I point out that accepting that at face value is a highly questionable act.)
But in my view… And increasingly in the view of the majority of Americans, the morality of the issue is a higher one. Of course the left doesn’t share that view…. And what can you expect from a group of people who have been telling us for the last 50 years that morality doesn’t matter? In the moral view, a half truth is still an untruth.
The never Trumpers have been circling the wagons around Walz on this one and flailing helplessly as public opinion about the man slides downhill… A lot of it with the aid of people who are actually unfortunate enough to serve with him.
How far to the left do you have to be to get to the stage where even the Ed DriscollDemocrats don’t want you?
I suppose that we should be grateful that there is actually a limit to the amount of anti-Americanism that Democrats will put up with. Usually they reserve this kind of treatment for people that damage the far left agenda. But if it has to go this far to achieve the gag reflex, how long can we possibly last?
Ed Driscoll does an excellent job of tracking all of this.
