It’s déjà blue: The media is promoting
Kamala Harris without substance – just
like Obama in 2008

Original Article

A year into Barack Obama’s presidency, Sarah Palin, a former Alaska governor and John McCain’s 2008 running mate, mockingly asked a Tea Party gathering a question: “How’s that hopey, changey stuff working out?” The roomful of conservatives howled with laughter because by then, Obama’s dreamy campaign motto of “Hope and Change” had been replaced by hard policy lurches to the far left. The Palin question is a piece of history 2024 voters should keep in mind as they assess Kamala Harris. The parallels between then and now are striking. Like Obama, the Democrats’ current nominee has been maddeningly elusive about what she would do as president.

Having no substance, or brains, or any concept of what it takes to lead, Kamala is dependent upon the media to shape her image. They are tasked with turning a laughing Hyena into a president. The big mystery to me is why the media, whose thousands of willing propagandists will suffer right along with the rest of us when America implodes into warfare, is going along with this nonsense. They were educated to some degree, weren't they? Is the sense of belonging to something, no matter how pitiful a failure it is, worth suffering and dying for? Is it worth the humiliation of following something that always results in failure?

In truth, even if Kamala held a press conference and revealed her platform, she would do exactly what Obama did...tell whatever lies necessary to get elected, and then do whatever the heLL she wants, because the complicit press will not report the truth. Therefore, it is incumbent on DJT to get down and dirty, and shine the light on her lack of accomplishments in the past, and her long list of abject policy failures.

YES! I remember having the following question about BO, "What has he done besides being a 'Community Organizer' who got a gazebo built?". That pattern remained throughout his presidency, nothing much accomplished, even though he claimed great success. BO's greatest success is in selling HIMSELF. So now we have the "Joy" fairy, Kamala. BO's one strength was he could speak well and lie well. Kamala cannot speak beyond a 6th grade level and, while she lies all the time, she is NOT at all convincing. She also seems to think that showing up to speak is sufficient unto itself. She doesn't care that her word salads are nutritionally empty. Of course, coming from California where star power is infused throughout society, she thinks that brainless dialog is acceptable.

Sept. 18, when Trump gets sentenced by NY judge Juan Merchan, is when the (first) nuke goes off. If he throws the book at Trump, which I believe he will, and gives him the full 4 years behind bars what happens then? What will Republicans do if Kamala backs out of the Sept 10 debate so the screaming headlines will be all about Trump's sentencing? This is all being scripted on the dem side with everyone playing their timed role.

Very similar with a few notable exceptions. 1) Kamala is not as intelligent, nor as well-spoken as Obama. 2) We’ve already had “The First Black President (Peace be upon him),” so the need to virtue signal has been reduced considerably, especially from those who voted for The Messiah because of the historic value, 3) a substantial portion of Obama voters have seen and experienced the damage from his regime and want nothing more to do with him, and most of all 4) Kamala simply isn’t as likeable as Obama. He could shuck and jive his way into the gullible’s hearts; she has no such ability. With Obama, his adoring base didn’t have to pretend. Not so with Kamala.

obama has a male voice. He's not well-spoken, intelligent, etc. He can read a teleprompter. After eight years, he never improved on any skills. Everyone says the same things about him they said about him during his eight stolen years. Zero improvement for Zero. ZERO! Even their skin color is a fake out.

The main connection between Obama and Harris is that they are not real Americans but hyphenated Americans. The founding fathers carefully spelled out in the Constitution that a president must be born here and their parents must be Americans. It's no wonder the two foreigners are pushing communism, wasting trillions of dollars and practicing a strong hatred of White Christians. The causes of our serious problems are obvious, now what are we going to do about it? Obama was a dictator who wasted much of our money and we recovered from that but we will not survive the incompetence of Harris.

WH media hoping to continue their vacation with a Harris admin. For four years, Biden barely gave them any opportunity to ask a question, and when they got an opportunity to ask a question, they asked him "What's your favorite ice cream?" It will be the same with her.

The "mainstream" media messaging machine spent the whole Democratic convention channeling the notion of "reintroducing" Kamala Harris to America, relying on the assumption that vice presidents are only seen and not heard. For all the journalists who suddenly want to channel the same aspirational biracial narrative that marked Barack Obama's march to the White House, we must note that these autobiographies can be heavily shaped and edited, which is why the word "reintroduction" should land like a brick. Obama's "autobiography" was riddled with fictional elements, even composite girlfriends.

Stunning new video shows what a proposed glitzy $12 billion casino complex in Hudson Yards will look like while walking the High Line. The animated rendering of the ambitious Manhattan project by Related Companies and Wynn Resorts is partly aimed at countering opposition from advocates of the High Line park and other critics who claim the plan would be too intrusive and obstruct views. The video tries to make the case that the proposed complex — including a 5.6 acre park and spacious greenery between and around the buildings — actually blends in well with the High Line and the waterfront.

It’s really not Jack Smith, so we should drop the pretenses. Mary McCord, Norm Eisen and Andrew Weissmann have recrafted a new DC indictment against President Trump by dropping around 10 pages of fraudulent evidence from the prior indictment and labeling it a “superseding indictment.” The 36-page indictment is available HERE. Essentially, after the supreme court decision on immunity, the majority of the previous case against President Trump was likely to fail, so Mary, Norm and Andrew went back and modified the previously lawfare to fit a narrower scale as requested by the supreme court.

Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, may be the current world-class champ of presidential-family shady dealings, but not for long. If Kamala Harris wins the White House, her brother-in-law, Tony West, who is married to her sister Maya, is poised to claim the crooked crown. Like Hunter, West learned his craft in the Obama years. Then head of the Justice Department’s Civil Division, he invented a new form of what 19th-early 20th centuries Tammany boss George Washington Plunkett famously called “Honest Graft.” It was simple. Until 1977, Congress had to approve any settlement of a civil suit against the Federal government over $100,000.

Hamas is now in dire need of a ceasefire because its leaders want to hold on to power in the Gaza Strip. If the Biden-Harris administration and its Iranian, Qatari and Egyptian allies manage to impose a ceasefire on Israel, it will be viewed by many Arabs and Muslims not only as a reward for the October 7 massacres, but specifically as a lifeline for Hamas. Hamas officials, however, were more honest than the Americans, Egyptians and Qataris. These officials were quick to deny any progress in the ceasefire talks and described them as "a waste of time."

Smith narrowed the allegations after a landmark Supreme Court ruling on presidential power earlier this year.

While Secret Service agents were applauded for bravely swarming the stage to protect Trump, the incident represented one of the worst security failures in American history. Following the shooting on July 13 - which claimed the life of firefighter Corey Comperatore - Congress set up a bipartisan taskforce to investigate. As questions mounted, Secret Service chief Kimberly Cheatle was forced to resign.

According to a report from the New York Post, Aurora has a population of 390,000 residents. Now, it’s become the base of operations for the gang, which has seized apartment complexes and instigated a crime wave. In February, the Aurora City Council reportedly passed a resolution 7-3 stating that it will not provide resources for illegal immigrants brought into the town from neighboring cities, notably, Denver.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Harris is demanding a seated format and permission to use a “cheat-sheet” during the live debate—an unprecedented move that Trump’s campaign has swiftly condemned. This, they argue, is yet another example of Harris’s reluctance to face tough questions and her inability to handle the pressure of live debates.

U.S. District Judge J.
