Who's the Threat to 'Democracy'?

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 9/24/2024 7:48:53 PM

It’s almost become a cliché today when someone on the left calls Donald Trump a “threat to our democracy.” Never mind that we’re a republic; the breathless left wants you to believe that Trump will usher in some sort of dictatorship.Over the past nearly four years (and the eight Obama years), we’ve seen what the left wants to do with power. Democrats have weaponized the federal government against conservatives and anyone else who threatens Democrat power, and Obama and Joe Biden have used their presidential bully pulpit to tell the world that we're terrible people for opposing them.

One has to realize that when the 'Rats say "Our Democracy", they are not referring to he current government of the United States. "Our Democracy" is what they are trying to impose, a One Party Totalitarian State, controlled by the unelected Democ'RAT party 'Powers that Be', who pull the marionette strings while hidden, like Oz, the Great and Terrible, behind the Green Curtain. Once you realize that, everything (well, almost everything) that they do makes sense, in an evil way.

Students at the University of Notre Dame appear more willing to support former President Donald Trump according to a shocking new poll. The Irish Rover surveyed 705 likely student voters between September 15 and September 18 soliciting their choice for president. The poll showed that 47.6 percent of students favored Trump for president while 45.9 percent favored Kamala Harris. The results shows that 5.5 percent of students chose a candidate whose name was not included in the poll and only four votes for Green Party's Jill Stein and two votes for Libertarian candidate Chase Oliver.

It's crazy for Donald Trump not to agree to another debate. While he may not be everybody's cup of tea, his opponent is an absolute lunatic who could do permanent damage to our country, in addition to the damage that she's already done. he media sure aren't going to alert the public to this looming danger. It's up to Trump. Among her other plans for us, Kamala Harris is for: -- Slavery reparations; -- Defunding the police; -- Taxpayer-supported transgender operations for prisoners and detained illegal immigrants; -- Paying bail funds for violent BLM rioters;

On a phone call with reporters on Wednesday, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, who is former President Donald Trump’s 2024 running mate, said that he doesn’t need to do much preparation for his debate against Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz because “we don’t have to hide our record from the American people.” Vance made the remarks on a call with reporters about Trump’s support from the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. Vance is scheduled to debate Walz on Oct. 1. “I think what we’re going to focus on is making sure that I make as a concise and direct appeal to the American people as possible about Donald Trump’s successful policies and

President Joe Biden made a statement with his outfit as he walked into The View's stage and did a little jog. Biden, 81, showed his support for Ukraine by sporting a pin showing the US and Ukrainian flags side by side. The Democrat was given a standing ovation by the hosts and audience of the ABC talk show on Wednesday. But many viewers were angered by Biden's pin choice, accusing the president of putting foreign interests above those of America. The right-wing outlet Townhall.com noted the pin on X, writing: 'Joe Biden is sporting a Ukraine flag pin on "The View."'

Sitting at the table with the intellectual heft of Whoopi Goldberg, Sunny Hostin, and Joy Behar surrounding him, the president managed to kneecap Kamala Harris, threaten Donald Trump, and bask in delusion during the segment.

Vice President Kamala Harris will sit for an interview with MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle on Wednesday. This comes as Harris has faced backlash for dodging the press.

Previously, she sat for an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash with her vice presidential pick, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. Last week, she appeared in a brief interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that former President Donald Trump should be extinguished from politics, which she clarified meant “vote him out.” Raimondo said, “Tax policy, you have to work with Congress but if he decides he wants to do something crazy, like a 200% tariff, which will hurt Americans, raise prices and lose jobs, he could do it as president. Which is why honestly why I’m here in my personal capacity. The stakes are so high in this one. We cannot afford to put him back in the White House.”

A mother in Pittsburgh is furious after her 17-year-old daughter was pulled out of class and told to register to vote—without her consent. To make matters worse, the school’s staff allegedly pushed a blatant political agenda, suggesting that “if Donald Trump was elected, Black people would be doomed.” In a viral TikTok video, Kay Montana shared the distressing experience her daughter, Nyla, went through, claiming “Pittsburgh Public Schools” not only registered her to vote without her permission but also was subjected to political indoctrination.

On Tuesday, Pelosi appeared as a guest on The Lead with Jake Tapper to speak with Tapper about Kamala Harris’s campaign for president. The discussion soon veered into a discussion regarding Trump’s cognitive ability to serve as president, with Tapper saying on social media that progressives are complaining about a ‘double standard’ regarding the way the media covered Biden’s mental decline and Trump’s (nonexistent) cognitive issues.

A whistleblower claims that the Trump campaign was “effectively forced” to “cancel” an event in Wisconsin due to the Secret Service not having “sufficient assets to secure” the rally. In a letter addressed to Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) questioned “recent public statements” made by Rowe regarding the level of protection Trump was receiving from the agency in light of the whistleblower allegations. Hawley went on to question whether the Secret Service ever informed former President Donald Trump, “his campaign, or any related business entities” that the agency was unable to “secure a rally”

A series of failures by the U.S. Secret Service ultimately allowed would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks to successfully land a shot in Donald Trump's right ear, a new report reveals. One troubling finding from the bipartisan Senate investigation was how technical issues downed Secret Service drones during the July 13 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The agent responsible for overseeing the Counter Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) called a toll free 888 tech support hotline 'to start troubleshooting with the company.' There were no backups.

In what’s likely his final speech to the United Nations General Assembly, President Biden said on Tuesday that he thinks “every day” about the 13 Americans who died in a suicide bombing at Kabul’s airport — as Secretary of State Antony Blinken faces a possible House panel contempt vote later in the day. “Thirteen brave Americans lost their lives, along with hundreds of Afghans in a suicide bomb. I think [of] those lost lives — I think [of] them every day,” said Biden, 81, stumbling over his script. Biden called his August 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan “a hard decision, but the right decision” during the lengthy speech,

"Zero Dark Thirty" was a pretty solid movie. I liked it because the producers and director didn’t sugarcoat the way that CIA operatives treated terrorists. Terrorists deserved their fate. The composite protagonist “Maya” was a CIA analyst who worked tirelessly to bring justice down on Osama Bin Laden — AKA a bullet to the brain. After Maya had fingered where Bin Laden was, she met with Leon Panetta, the then-head of the CIA. Panetta was portrayed by James Gandolfini. I don’t object to artistic license when actors portray real people, but Gandolfini was a big man: 6’1” and intimidating. He looked intimidating just standing still. Panetta,

Does the United States of America have a functioning president right now? That question isn’t meant to be provocative. Members of both major parties have noted that President Joe Biden seems to have gone AWOL from his official duties as the nation’s executive in chief. A large chunk of voters agree, saying they want Biden to leave office right away. In August’s I&I/TIPP Poll of 1,488 registered voters, taken from July 31-Aug. 2, shortly after the Democratic Party forced Biden to step down as his party’s candidate, we asked voters the following question: “Which of the following do you believe is in the best interest of the country?” \

Let’s skip ahead to after the election. No matter who wins, the next president will declare that they have a “mandate” to do something. And they will be wrong. The whole canard that a newly elected president is for some reason entitled to have their way is an invention. The word “mandate” doesn’t appear in the Constitution or the Federalist Papers. The myth can be traced to Andrew Jackson. (Snip) [T]he core problem with mandate-mania is this: Presidential electoral majorities never speak with one voice in favor of a policy platform.

Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi, dumped over $500,000 worth of Visa stock just weeks before the Department of Justice slapped the financial giant with an antitrust lawsuit, according to the New York Post. The timing couldn’t be more suspect. Visa, one of the most dominant players in the debit card market, is now facing charges of monopolizing the industry. The DOJ’s antitrust unit claims Visa has abused its market power, forcing financial tech companies to work with them while penalizing those who try to go with competitors. According to the press release: According to the complaint, more than 60% of debit transactions in the United States run on Visa’s debit network,

The octogenarian was attending the Clinton Global Initiative’s summit but was not listed to speak before the elite gathering. The New York Post (NYP) reports he appeared there in support of Jill Biden before being called to the stage himself to accept a Global Citizen award. “This is what you call being trapped,” Biden declared before thanking the former first couple for their support.
