Trump Steals Kamala’s ‘Joy,’ Obama’s
‘Hope’: To Have Them, Harris Must
Be Defeated
Posted By: Dreadnought, 8/24/2024 12:27:22 AM
Donald Trump is riding high after Democrats’ failure to utilize the Democratic National Convention (DNC) to springboard Vice President Kamala Harris’s struggling campaign. The emboldened Republican nominee even stole President Barack Obama and Vice President Kamala Harris’s trademark one-word campaign slogans in laying out his American agenda and calling to arms the crowd to vote for him in November. “Everyone will prosper, every family will thrive, and every day will be filled with joy and opportunity and hope, but for that to happen, we must defeat Kamala Harris,” Trump told the crowd near the end of his remarks. “We must stop her country-destroying liberal agenda once and for all,”

RFK Jr. Endorsement That Kamala Isn't
Going to Like 3 replies
We've been seeing the media try to hype up Kamala Harris since she was handed the nomination on a silver platter, putting out a drumbeat that she was in the lead in the race. With some of those polls, you had to look to the cross tabs and see that they had questionable methodology including oversampling Democrats or having too small a sample to be reliable. So, it's hard to make a judgment about the polls when you're getting questionable data.
Now in the middle of all that, there was an admission by officials with a top, pro-Harris super PAC that their polling for Kamala Harris ‘is much less rosy’

A federal judge on Thursday blocked the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from considering disparate environmental harms in Louisiana in its enforcement of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, making permanent a temporary hold he issued in January.
In the ruling, Judge James Cain of the Western District of Louisiana, a former President Trump appointee, sided with the state of Louisiana in prohibiting the EPA’s Office of External Civil Rights Compliance and the Justice Department from enforcing the provision “against any entity in the State of Louisiana, or requiring compliance with those requirements as a condition of past, existing, or future
It's something of an understatement to say that the Middle East is a real mess these days. Granted, this has always been a contentious part of the world, and after having spent some time in the area while on the General Schwarzkopf Traveling Road Show's "Highway of Death" tour, I can see why these people are fighting all the time; it's because they have to live there. Big parts of the Middle East are surely no less barren than the surface of the moon.
But the Middle East also has a wealth of one major strategic resource - oil. So when things in the Middle East start going sideways,

‘imminent threat’ to Israeli civilians,
as alarms sound 4 replies
The IDF says it has detected preparations by Hezbollah to launch rockets and missiles and is preemptively striking in Lebanon “to remove the threat.”
Fighter jets are striking Hezbollah targets that “posed an imminent threat to the citizens of the State of Israel,” the army says, adding that “life-saving instructions” will be sent out in some parts of the country.
Alarms are meanwhile sounding in several northern communities.
In a video statement, IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says: “A short while ago, the IDF identified the Hezbollah terrorist organization preparing to fire missiles and rockets toward Israeli territory.”
Democrats will tell you they are excited about Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign.
The delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois, this week kept talking about how much fun they were having and how much “joy” they were feeling. Democrats who watched the speeches on television gushed about how amazing they were.
Some of those feelings were real. But remember: that’s how Democrats feel, not how other Americans feel.
The convention, objectively, was not so great.
On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Source,” Harris Campaign Surrogate Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey (D) responded to criticism that 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris hasn’t solved the inflation problem during her tenure as Vice President by stating that she’ll “continue to lead as Vice President,” and will “be out there talking about the things that she’s going to do for people.”
Host Kaitlan Collins asked, “[S]he was…talking about a more secure border, talking about tamping down inflation, housing prices, what voters are dealing with. The response that I saw also was, well, she is the Vice President right now, it’s not like she

Another attack on a music festival, this time in Germany. No one is using the T-word yet but some reports say this was a random attack using a knife. The attacker is still at large. This is a Google translated version of the story from Bild, the German news site which broke the news. They are reporting three people have died. Also a possible description which has not been confirmed by authorities:
At around 9.45 p.m. a man in Solingen randomly stabbed passers-by with a knife. The perpetrator, according to witnesses an Arab-looking man, is on the run.
According to initial information, there are three dead and four seriously injured. Dozens
Earlier, Ed wrote about the way in which the media seems to have gone all in on what could be described as the Empty Suit Campaign. Harris has said almost nothing specific about her plans and has given no interviews and yet most of the media seems thrilled to report this vacuous campaign as a triumph of good vibes. She's the change candidate. The joy candidate. And that's enough for most of them.
Today I noticed a couple of mildly critical pieces over at the NY Times. Here's one titled "Harris Faces Challenge of Translating Convention Joy to Fall Momentum."
Vice President Kamala Harris emerged
Last night, Kamala Harris repeatedly asserted that she would "chart a new course," or "chart a new way forward." For that, one would expect a chart or two.
Harris competently delivered a well-received but nearly substance-free acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention. At 37 minutes, give or take, it ran long enough for the occasion without tiring the audience, in the hall or on television. And mirablile dictu, we never got the ubiquitous Harris incantation, "what we can be, unburdened by what has been."
Which in this case was rather ironic, since at least a third or more of Harris' speech was devoted to what has been -- her "personal story."

Thursday night, Kamala Harris took the stage in a blue pantsuit to accept her party's nomination for President of the United States. The excited audience kept chanting "Kamala" and "USA"; she thanked them and said, "We got to get to some business! Thank you all."
According to Politico, Vice President Kamala Harris planned to lean into her personal biography, and that is what she did. While mention was made of her father Donald Harris, it was her mother Shyamala Gopalan's "values" that Harris constantly referred to as her guiding principles throughout her speech. As I wrote throughout this four-day-long, DNC reinvention fest, everything from the single-mother schtick
The parent company of iconic American whiskey brand Jack Daniel’s is getting rid of its progressive workplace programs after a conservative activist prepared to launch a boycott against the firm.
American spirits conglomerate Brown Forman, the owner of Jack Daniel’s and other well-known offerings, recently sent an internal memo announcing its plan to halt diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives and end its relationship with a corporate ranking of LGBT-friendly employers.
Brown Forman is the fourth company with conservative clientele to scrap its left-wing workplace initiatives in recent weeks,

Anthony Fauci was hospitalized after being infected with the potentially deadly West Nile Virus.
Fauci, the former longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, is now back at home getting treatment.
Fauci, 83, who served on the White House Coronavirus Task Force, is expected to make a full recovery, a spokesperson told CNN.
The West Nile virus is the most common mosquito-spread disease in the continental US, with a median of over 2,200 cases being reported every year, according to the Department of Health and Human Services.
Members of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s extended family called it a “betrayal of the values that our father and our family hold most dear” on Friday after the independent presidential candidate announced that he was endorsing former President Trump.
“We want an America filled with hope and bound together by a shared vision of a brighter future,” Kerry Kennedy wrote in a statement alongside four of Kennedy’s siblings. “We believe in Harris and Walz. Our brother Bobby’s decision to endorse Trump today is a betrayal of the values that our father and our family hold most dear.”
“It is a sad ending to a sad story,” they added.
Like a pack of attack dogs, Hollywood celebrities turned their attention to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., on Friday after he endorsed former President Donald Trump and blasted the Democratic party for having rigged its own primaries and undemocratically installed Kamala Harris as its nominee.
Stars including George Takei, Jeffrey Wright, Chris Meloni, Sandra Bernhard, and The West Wing‘s Bradley Whitford unleashed a torrent of vicious verbal attacks on Kennedy for having dared to cross the aisle to form an alliance with Trump.
“What a sad, broken, human being @RobertKennedyJr is,” Whitford declared.
“A broken deeply disturbed person,” Bernhard wrote.
“RFK Jr. and Donald Trump. A sorrier pair could hardly be imagined,” Takei concluded.
Eight Massachusetts communities are now considered high risk for West Nile virus, officials announced Friday.
This elevated risk level applies to Boston in Suffolk County and Abington, Brockton, East Bridgewater, Marion, Mattapoisett, Rochester, and Whitman in Plymouth County, according to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
The risk of human infection with the virus is now moderate throughout Bristol, Norfolk, and the rest of Plymouth County and in parts of Barnstable, Berkshire, Essex, Hampden, Middlesex, Plymouth, and Worcester counties.
Europe is experiencing a crisis evidenced by a “wave of populism” that threatens European universality, Pope Francis warned Saturday.
In a message to participants in the European Alpbach Forum, an Austrian nonprofit foundation advocating a strong and democratic Europe, the pontiff said that Europe is “experiencing a time of crisis,” a time “in which various populist movements are enjoying great popularity.”
In Europe, “as a result of this ‘wave’ of populism, some ideals have vanished and some principles, with regard to behavior towards the weaker members of society, have been sidelined,” he added.
If you reside in one of four Massachusetts municipalities, the governing authorities are treating you to a fresh set of lockdowns on the flimsiest of pretenses. Via New York Post (emphasis added): Four Massachusetts towns — Douglas, Oxford, Sutton and Webster — have enacted a voluntary evening lockdown in an attempt to curb the spread of a potentially deadly mosquito-borne disease. The decision comes after the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) confirmed the first human case of Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) since 2020 in Worcester County.

Kamala Harris’s husband Doug Emhoff is a “progressive sex symbol,” according to The Washington Post.
The Post has long had a reputation as one of the Democratic Party’s most influential media propagandists. Yet this latest headline on its website takes that impression to the next level.
According to opinion writer Catherine Rampell, Emhoff has earned the title of “progressive sexy symbol” because he is “secure enough with his own masculinity to sometimes prioritize his wife’s ambitions over his own.”
Another ‘coincidental’ Secret Service failure that led to the attempted assassination of President Trump.
The Secret Service never picked up radios that were set aside for them by local law Butler County law enforcement at Trump’s rally on July 13.
Would-be assassin Thomas Crooks was able to climb on top of a roof next to Trump’s Butler, Pennsylvania rally and put Trump in his scope.
A bullet grazed President Trump’s ear during his Pennsylvania rally. One rallygoer was fatally struck in the head. Two other rally attendees were wounded, one critically.
Bodycam footage shows a Butler Township police officer flipping out after his warnings about Crooks on the roof over the radio went ignored.

While Robert F. Kennedy Jr's family has been attacking him over his political beliefs for at least the last year, their behavior since he announced his support of the Trump/Vance presidential ticket has been shameful, to say the least. RFK Jr's wife, actress Cheryl Hines, is standing by her husband even though she doesn't agree with him politically and even though she undoubtedly will pay a heavy professional price for her loyalty and love. It's no secret that her "Curb Your Enthusiasm" co-star Larry David has one of the more severe cases of Trump Derangement Syndrome in Hollywood, and her other colleagues are right there with him.
Hezbollah launched hundreds of rockets and drones against Israel on Sunday in retaliation for the assassination of a senior commander in Beirut last month.
The Lebanon based militant group launched over 320 Katyusha rockets towards Israel and hit 11 military targets, according to the group.
Israeli intelligence had been aware of the impending attack, causing Israeli jets to start an airstrike campaign across southern Lebanon as an act of self-defense before Hezbollah could strike first.
The Kennedy Family at Large Is Trash
16 replies
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. gave an epic speech on Friday, during which he suspended his campaign and endorsed Donald Trump.
And he destroyed the Democratic Party at the same time.
"I attended my first Democratic convention at the age of 6 in 1960, and back then, the Democrats were the champions of the Constitution, of civil rights," Kennedy said. "The Democrats stood against authoritarianism, against censorship, against colonialism, imperialism, and unjust wars. We were the party of labor, of the working class. (Snip) But the family at large really outdid themselves on Friday after Robert endorsed Trump, releasing a really nasty statement.
