If Kamala Harris Wins

Original Article

Posted By: Moritz55, 10/18/2024 2:29:57 AM

Sometimes “What if?” questions are merely counterfactual academic exercises. Sometimes, however, they are existential conundrums. The question, “What if Kamala Harris wins the 2024 presidential election?” belongs firmly in the latter category. As I have noted elsewhere, I believe Donald Trump will not only win, but win resoundingly. All the same, the huge influx of illegal immigrants, strategically managed by Biden and Harris to be maximally advantageous, combined with the disastrous state of our voter rolls, might mean even if Trump wins, he doesn’t end up in the Oval Office. So: what if? Imagine you are a mini-Rip Van Winkle. You sink into a deep slumber

If Harris wins there will not be rioting in major cities across the U.S. that would happen if Trump won. Democrats have already promised such riots after a Trump win. Conservatives are more mature and don't riot. I actually don't believe Trump will ever be president again due to the Left pulling all their underhanded stuff to keep him out.

It takes a real talent for creative writing, plus a clear and insightful mind to write such a column. Sadly, it will be read by so few that could possibly be guided and enlightened by it. I'm not speaking of the Ldotters, but rather the public in general. It is rather long, thought-provoking, and a bit depressing---even scary. But the Truth can hurt. It went straight in to my 'Essential Columns' folder. I will share it around.

If Kamala wins I will consider it the judgement of God on our country....and it would be well deserved for not backing Israel and killing babies.

The article is correct, but misses one point - persecution of Christians will expand. The societal collapse he illustrates will happen, leaving most to be clamoring for a leader to fix it. The Antichrist.

Ok dag nabbit. Whats with writers and politicians slipping the word "existential" into every conversation every chance they get? It was one block of lessons in high school almost 50 years ago. Then I never heard the word again, until this political season. Now its everywhere. Its going on my list of "stop reading" words.

The season has come again (actually, we’re a few weeks behind schedule) for the restorative quadrennial reading of Michael Anton’s “The Flight 93 Election,” first published at the website of the Claremont Review of Books in September 2016. Its vivifying spirit leaps out immediately in the famous opening lines: 2016 is the Flight 93 election: charge the cockpit or you die. You may die anyway. You—or the leader of your party—may make it into the cockpit and not know how to fly or land the plane. There are no guarantees. Except one: if you don’t try, death is certain.

On July 26, in the aftermath of the Democratic Party's ruthless midsummer coup of their own democratically elected presidential nominee, this column predicted that the elevation of dimwitted cackler-in-chief Kamala Harris to the party's presidential slot would "spectacularly backfire." More specifically, I wrote: "Practically, the path to winning 270 Electoral College votes still runs through the Rust Belt states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. It is frankly bizarre for Democrats to swap out the man who talks ceaselessly about his hardscrabble Scranton upbringing for a Californian who boasts the most left-wing voting record of any presidential nominee in modern history." I'm feeling pretty good these days about that prognosis.
Kamala Harris continues to underperform

Kamala Harris is continuing to underperform across the polling spectrum. Pick any average from the multitude of polling views — two-way, multicandidate, battleground states, and even individual battleground states — and Harris is running consistently below where Joe Biden was in 2020 and Hillary Clinton in 2016. So it’s no surprise Democrats are growing nervous. There’s a reason the Harris campaign is suddenly making her available for softball media opportunities, such as her recent appearances on CBS’s “60 Minutes” and “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” as well as ABC’s “The View,” and even for riskier ones like her Wednesday appearance on Fox News.

New texts have emerged of alleged secret communication between Liz Cheney, former January 6 committee vice chair, and a key witness. Former White House official Cassidy Hutchinson was due to testify that she saw then-President Donald Trump agreeing with January 6 rioters who were chanting "Hang Mike Pence," the then-vice president. Republican National Committee member, Harmeet Dhillon, wrote on X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday: "This is a very serious ethical violation and lawyers can be disciplined by the bar for contacting a represented party concerning the subject matter of the representation, without the permission and knowledge of that party's lawyer."
Majority of Americans Feel Worse Off Than

More than half of Americans (52%) say they and their family are worse off today than they were four years ago, while 39% say they are better off and 8% volunteer that they are about the same. The 2024 response is most similar to 1992 among presidential election years in which Gallup has asked the question. The latest findings are from a Sept. 16-28 poll, which also finds differences among partisans’ perceptions on this measure -- Democrats (72%) are much more likely than independents (35%) or Republicans (7%) to view themselves as “better off.”

Vice President Kamala Harris sat down with Fox News’s Bret Baier for a half-hour interview in which Baier politely took no prisoners, pressing Harris on the issues most voters cite as their top concerns. Harris took almost zero accountability for the Biden-Harris administration’s failures and offered few answers on her specific policy positions, pivoting instead to besmirching rival Donald Trump and provide offerings from her platitude grab-bag. Baier hit the ground running by asking Harris how many illegal immigrants she thought her administration has released to date — “One, 2 million?” Harris replied, “It’s an important discussion people want to have,”

Desperate times call for desperate measures. With just 19 days to go until Election Day, Vice President Kamala Harris has adopted a frantic, discombobulated strategy of throwing everything she can find at Donald Trump to see if anything sticks. It’s become obvious that with millions of hardworking Americans struggling to make ends meet due to inflation, illegal immigrants being prioritized over U.S. citizens and wars raging around the globe, Ms. Harris’ message of more of the same isn’t resonating with voters. Liberals have found themselves in panic mode. It seems the agreed-upon tactic for the closing days of the Harris campaign is

A small Pennsylvania town has been thrown into a national conversation about immigration into the U.S, after former President Trump pointed to it as a victim of mass Haitian migration --with some residents saying they believe the town is now backing the former president in November. "The small 4,000-person town of Charleroi, Pennsylvania, have you heard of it?" Trump said in September in Tucson, Arizona. "What a beautiful name, but it's not so beautiful now. It has experienced a 2,000% increase in the population of Haitian migrants under Kamala Harris."

For over a decade now, the issue of trangenderism has gained increasing prominence in American politics, which is natural when personal choices begin to intersect with public policy, and for Kamala Harris it has risen above the surface at the worst possible time. There have always been policy concerns around the idea that men can simply decide they are women. There were questions about women’s shelters and prisons, locker rooms and bathrooms, but nothing puts quite as fine a point on the issue as men competing in women’s sports. For his part, Donald Trump has a clear and concise answer to the troubling phenomenon

America’s enemies aren’t afraid of ethical scolding from Democrats, and U.S. allies don’t view it as especially helpful. In a Gallup poll released this September, voters in the United States revealed they trust Republicans as the “party better able to keep America safe from international threats” by a margin of 54 percent to 40 percent. In today’s hard-fought U.S. political system, a fourteen-point edge for one party over the other is something close to a landslide. Yet, most academics believe that the superiority of the Democratic Party’s foreign policy approach is self-evident. So, who’s right—the voters or the academics? Let’s consider the evidence of the last eight years.

Former President Barack Obama came out swinging at Friday’s rally in Arizona, questioning former President Donald Trump’s competence. The 44th president sharply criticized his successor throughout the appearance in Tucson, taking aim at Mr. Trump’s ability to articulate policy positions and his age. Mr. Obama’s comments come just months after President Biden, 81, dropped out of the race over concerns about his coherence. If elected, Mr. Trump, 78, would be the oldest president in U.S. history by the end of his term. “Along with his intentions, there is also a question of his competence,” Obama said. “He’s giving two, 2 1/2-hour speeches.

My Red State colleague, Jeff Charles, has already reported on former President Barack Obama’s recent attempted public shaming of black men who don’t want to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris, supposedly because of their misogyny.

No, it’s not “the economy, stupid,” in spite of the schizophrenic stock market since our remarkably resilient capitalistic economy ran head-on into the socialist-cum-communist Biden-Harris regime, with its $1.8-trillion deficit. And no, it’s not domestic policy, where we have had the luxury of being on the receiving end of these: High taxes. High food prices. High gas prices. Sky-high regulations. Alarmingly high crime rates throughout the country, particularly in states run by Democrats, where arrests are few, bail is nonexistent, and raging criminals enjoy no consequences for their assaults, rapes, murders, racist attacks, etc.

In the footage, a masked Sinwar is circled in red with the stick that he threw at the drone. Sinwar can then be seen throwing the stick in the direction of the drone as he sits on a couch surrounded by the rubble of the building he was located within. IDF Spokesperson R.-Adm. Daniel Hagari released the footage late on Thursday night during his statement confirming Sinwar's death, where he described the events leading up to the assassination.

Moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis of ABC News delivered a frankly disgusting performance during the September presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. The network had agreed that there would be no fact checks and no interruptions, yet the partisan duo proceeded to do exactly that. In fact, Trump was fact-checked at least five times, while Harris was left to say whatever the heck she wanted (much of it lies). Perhaps the most infamous moment came when Muir, using his most arrogant, self-important tone, interrupted Trump on crime statistics. Yes, the former president fought back and tried to explain why Muir was wrong,

The nearly 1,900 pages of documents collected by special counsel Jack Smith’s team were initially filed under seal to help U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan decide what allegations can proceed to trial following the Supreme Court opinion in July that conferred broad immunity on former presidents for official acts they take in office.

So far, the tranche of released evidence consists of four volumes and nearly 1,900 pages, although large portions of the files are sealed or redacted. Volume I consists of a series of interviews from the House Select Committee on Jan. 6 while Volume II is mostly tweets from the former president.

On the campaign trail this month, former President Donald Trump has repeatedly vowed to “close the federal Department of Education” and expand school choice — a wildly popular concept that cuts across party lines, new polling shows. Good news: If he wins the White House again, he can do both. The federal Department of Education is an unconstitutional waste of time and money. Its very existence arguably violates the Tenth Amendment: The word “education” appears nowhere in the Constitution. The federal government has spent well over a trillion dollars on K-12 education since the department’s inception, while failing to improve student performance.
