A Campaign Of ‘Joy’?
Posted By: RockyTCB, 8/14/2024 9:25:21 AM
The Democratic talking points were issued and the media enthusiastically accommodated: The Harris-Walz campaign is now a moveable feast of joy. But there’s nothing even remotely joyful about Kamala Harris’ and Tim Walz’s political orientation. Their positions are founded on militancy and just plain meanness. The media are nothing but shills for the Democratic Party. They are so willing to please that they will run with whatever theme the party tells them to. Take a look at recent headlines. “Harris Used to Worry About Laughing. Now Joy Is Fueling Her Campaign,” says the New York Times.

This week a coalition of leftist groups released an ad for Kamala Harris that contains what the New York Times describes as the “unified message from the left.” What is the message? The election is all about “our freedom” – by which they mean their freedom, not yours.
As the Times puts it, leftist groups tested its “freedom” messaging in the 2022 midterms to “reclaim the language about freedom and personal liberty,” which they say helped “blunt what had been expected to be a sweeping victory for Republicans.”
As we noted in this space recently, Harris has been talking up the

The Democratic talking points were issued and the media enthusiastically accommodated: The Harris-Walz campaign is now a moveable feast of joy. But there’s nothing even remotely joyful about Kamala Harris’ and Tim Walz’s political orientation. Their positions are founded on militancy and just plain meanness.
The media are nothing but shills for the Democratic Party. They are so willing to please that they will run with whatever theme the party tells them to. Take a look at recent headlines.
“Harris Used to Worry About Laughing. Now Joy Is Fueling Her Campaign,” says the New York Times.
In the three weeks since Joe Biden handed her the nomination, Kamala Harris spent a total of 70 seconds in front of reporters and issued one specific promise, which she stole from Donald Trump.
This is the first presidential campaign in history that appears to be guided by Nancy Pelosi’s line about Obamacare: “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.”
At her brief stop before a handful of reporters while boarding Air Force Two, one of them oh-so-politely asked Harris when she’d sit down for a press interview.
Her answer: “I’ve
The Democratic Party’s mess will be hard to clean up. By pushing Vice President Kamala Harris forward as the official candidate, and deep-sixing President Joe Biden’s campaign, it’s created a political mess. It’s the party’s fault for lying about Biden’s obvious mental decline. Who’s to blame? The I&I/TIPP Poll has some answers.
Things have gotten worse for the Democrats, not better, with the selection of far-left Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as Harris’ running mate, after the somewhat more moderate Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania backed out of the running.
Apparently, as a Jew, Shapiro didn’t have the stomach to hear extremist, pro-terrorist Democrat
It can’t be denied that Kamala Harris is a midwit, a jabbering cackler and an unaccomplished office holder, all of which should be pointed out aggressively between now and Nov. 5. But the Trump campaign has to make even more noise about the economy. James Carville was right when he famously said “it’s the economy, stupid,” and there’s much about this one that isn’t healthy.
Carville, a Bill Clinton strategist, insisted that the 1992 campaign to unseat President George H.W. Bush was about the country’s economy. As Nov. 3 approached, “Americans were in a sour mood about the direction of

There’s a reason nobody expected far-left Kamala Harris to pick a far-left governor from a deep blue state as her running mate. It’s never worked.
In the wake of Jimmy Carter’s crushing defeat in 1980 and repeated Democratic losses thereafter, the party decided that to win presidential elections they had to at least appear as moderates.
Bill Clinton won by labeling himself a “new Democrat” and picked Al Gore, then a fellow moderate Southerner. Gore in turn tapped Joe Lieberman as his running mate. Barack Obama tried to position himself to the right of John McCain and ran with Scranton Joe Biden. Hillary Clinton picked
If you didn’t know any better, you might think that Kamala Harris was running against some guy named “Project 2025.” She brings it up in every speech. Her campaign has said that “Project 2025” is on the ballot.
But it’s not the lies she and the media are spreading about Project 2025. It’s the fact that Harris doesn’t have one herself that should trouble voters most.

Trump and his campaign have repeatedly made it clear that this isn’t his agenda. And, indeed, he has detailed plans posted on his campaign website – not to mention a track record of success as president.
But Harris? She has no policy agenda whatsoever. None.
Now that the Democratic Party officials have decided that Vice President Kamala Harris, and not primary-winner President Joe Biden or anyone else, will be their nominee, how will she fare against former President Donald Trump? Right now, the contest is a tossup, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.
The data suggest that Harris might be enjoying an initial polling “honeymoon,” typical after a new face enters a race and voters haven’t had time to assess their candidacy. It was just two weeks ago that the Democratic National Committee elbowed Biden (who was badly flagging in the polls) out of the race
Back in February, we noticed a spate of articles claiming that there was no way that Joe Biden would not be the Democrats’ nominee.
“In the span of two days,” we wrote, “articles started appearing making the exact same argument: That Joe Biden will definitely, no questions asked, be the nominee come November.” (See: “Are Dems Actually ‘Stuck With Biden’? Or Are They Playing A Long Con?” February 14, 2024.)
We noticed that these articles — all written by supposed political pros — made the same argument:
It’s too late for Biden to step aside.
Party elites are all behind Biden.

Kamala’s Marxist Roots

When The Economist tried last week to excuse Kamala Harris’ frequent discharges of incoherent nonsense, it opened a door that Harris and her team probably wish would stay hidden from the wider public.
But there it is.
“Republicans who have mocked Ms. Harris for word-salad speeches will find precedent in her father’s writing,” The Economist said last week, because his is “sprinkled with obscurantist theorizing.”
And who is Harris’ father?
Credit where due, the New York Times published a report on Monday noting that Kamala Harris has a lot of far-left baggage that she will be struggling with now that the Democratic Party has anointed her as its presidential candidate.
Indeed, she does. And there are reams of videos showcasing her extremist views across the board, fracking, defunding police, abortion, amnesty for illegals, socializing medicine.
But then the Times manages to sabotage its own reporting with this line: “video clips of her old statements and interviews are being weaponized as Republicans aim to define her as a left-wing radical

Soviet-style centrally administered price controls on food and grocery prices will form part of the federal economic proposals U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris will unveil Friday when she finally delivers an insight into her 2024 policies.
Her address will mark the first time Harris offers a policy focused speech since she was anointed as the Democratic candidate in July and been roundly accused by critics since as being a policy-free zone, as Breitbart News reported. The Democratic nominee is promising to institute a first-ever national ban on price gouging and price-fixing within her first 100 days in office
Democratic strategist James Carville during a Thursday podcast said Republicans only characterize themselves as Israel supporters because Jews are more white than Palestinians.
Over 70% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents report having a positive view of Israel, while only 44% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents share this perception, according to Pew Research Center in 2022. Carville, on “Politics War Room,” said “racism” is what motivates the views of Israelis and Palestinians in response to a listener’s question regarding the Republican Party’s alleged embrace of “neo-Nazis,” which the listener suggested is inconsistent with the party’s pro-Israel stance.
The City of Chicago is gearing up to host the Democratic National Convention, which opens next Monday at the United Center.
The Coalition To March On The DNC, an organization comprised of more than 200 groups from around the country, will descend on the city to protest the Gaza War. The coalition has already lost a big case in court. They were suing the city to be placed within "sight and sound" of the United Center. But a federal judge wisely turned down their request. They will instead be placed three miles from the United Center in an obscure public park

Earlier this week, crooked New York Judge Juan Merchan rejected a recusal request for the third time in Trump’s “hush money” case.
The dirty judge’s decision was released to the public on Wednesday.
Judge Merchan’s daughter’s platform made tens of millions of dollars from her father’s case against Trump.
President Trump is STILL under a partial gag order in the case. Can someone please explain how this is legal? And why are Republicans not outraged by this criminal lawfare against the party’s presidential candidate?
CHICAGO — Leaders of four Muslim organizations say they’re expecting upwards of 100,000 demonstrators to take part in a number of protests during the Democratic National Convention.
Three main protests are being planned for Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, the first and last days of the convention. More than 150 organizations from around the country say they’ve formed a collective to have these protests be large in numbers, and while they represent a number of different interests, they say they will be focused on the Israeli-Palestinian war.

Susan Crabtree of RealClearInvestigations broke a story this morning that in a sane would would shock you, but in the current world run by the Biden administration is just another day ending in "Y." (snip) During a Donald Trump visit to North Carolina yesterday, a woman Secret Service special agent abandoned her post to breastfeed with no permission/warning to the event site agent, according to three sources in the Secret Service community. (snip) The agent and her family members bypassed the Uniformed Division checkpoint and were escorted by an unpinned event staff into the room to breastfeed, the sources said.
The story originates in the Washington Post, so the context is always a presentation with the intent to undermine President Trump. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND, this story is cited directly to RFK Jr and contains quotes from him.
This is not a story from anonymous sources or sources ‘familiar with the events.’ This is a story directly from the horses’ mouth. Robert F Kennedy Jr wants the information within this story made public. REMEMBER THAT!
Additionally, when you accept the Washington Post is the outlet for the CIA, and then see that Robert F Kennedy Jr confirms the details of the article with first person attribution,
Tim Walz hasn't exactly had the best introduction to the nation. Despite the best efforts of the campaign and the mainstream media to brand him as a midwestern centrist and "America's dad," among other things, it's hard not to wonder if Walz will be the next candidate the campaign will force off the ticket to make for someone less controversial and with less baggage.
The biggest issue, of course, is that Walz has come under fire for stolen valor.
Earlier this month, Newsweek reported that the Minnesota National Guard was disputing Walz's military biography. They reported that despite the governor's assertions, Walz did not retire with the rank of command sergeant major.
Pro-Palestinian groups are planning to bus tens of thousands of protesters into Chicago next week to demonstrate at the Democratic National Convention.
Fervent critics of America's support for Israel in the war in Gaza insist their plans haven't changed since Joe Biden dropped out of the race and Kamala Harris took the nomination, even though she is more sympathetic to Palestinians.
Hatem Abudayyeh, the national chair of the U.S. Palestinian Community Network advocacy group, told NBC demonstrators will be bussed in from nearby states.
One consistent element of wokeness is that it is inconsistent. Wokeness, as influencer Teal Swan sagely remarks, has become "a radical political and social ideology that is flirting with authoritarianism and that is wearing a mask of virtue."
That mask slips so often we might refer to it as a "wardrobe malfunction." Virtue, among the truly woke, is frangible. What might be virtuous in one situation could be evil in another. It might depend on who is being virtuous. It might depend on what the wokie had for breakfast. Suffice it to say that most woke people on the left have no idea what is virtuous and what isn't.
The Taliban terrorist organization celebrated the third anniversary of President Joe Biden facilitating its return to power in Afghanistan on Wednesday, hosting a large military parade on the former U.S. air base site at Bagram featuring U.S.-made equipment and welcoming envoys from Iran and China.
August 15 will mark three years since the fundamentalist Taliban terror group stormed Kabul, the nation’s capital, while then-President Ashraf Ghani fled in a helicopter. The Afghan military had collapsed by then, leading to a nearly bloodless takeover of the government for the Taliban. The Taliban remains at press time the uncontested government of Afghanistan, though no country recognizes it as such in an official capacity.
Pro-Palestinian protestors in New York on Thursday interrupted an event in support of Democratic US presidential candidate Kamala Harris by throwing smoke bombs at the scene, resulting in the arrest of dozens, according to a Y-Net report. In footage circulating on X, formally Twitter, havoc can be seen at the scene of the event, with people wearing keffiyehs and holding Palestinian flags as the NYPD makes arrests.Additionally, at least one of the people is seen wearing a keffiyeh, covering his entire face, and a green headband that can possibly be inspired by Hamas's terror brigades's green band.
