Dem Voters Show Signs of Anointer's Remorse

Original Article

Issues & Insights' Terry Jones calls this "buyer's remorse," but that doesn't fit. Literally no one bought Kamala Harris as the Democrat presidential nominee -- by design. Democrats never gave their voters a choice other than Joe Biden in the primaries, and then threw out 50 state contests to anoint Harris as the nominee once the cover-up of Biden's cognitive decline got exposed. Small wonder, then, that over a third of Democrats in the new I&I/TIPP poll don't feel much "joy" over Harris as their candidate. And even more of them believe they got stuck with a weaker candidate than Democrats could have fielded:

I think the elites underestimated how the voters would react when they appointed Kamala without a primary. Talk about your threat to democracy.

Pretty much the reason I didn't vote for Gerald Ford. He got to be president without going through a real nomination, and then he became the Rep candidate against Jimmy Carter because he was the incumbent. I suspect at lot people felt the same way, and so we ended up with the Peanut Farmer. But screw it, the Reps were messing with the electron process. As are the Dems today.

While I hold out no serious hope of these Dems crossing the street and voting for Trump, at the least I pray they stay home without voting.

Wall Street Seems to be Signaling a Trump Win 0 replies
Posted by Dreadnought 10/24/2024 12:49:01 AM Post Reply
Don't take my word for it, here's what the Wall Street Journal reported yesterday about how markets seem to be preparing for a Trump win. Some large hedge funds and money managers, sensing a potential shift in momentum, are getting behind trades that could pay out if Donald Trump beats Kamala Harris in the presidential election. While most polling still shows a tight race, that shift has rippled across markets in recent weeks, boosting assets seen as likely to benefit from a Republican victory. For instance, private-prison operator GEO Group is up 21% in October, on pace for its best month since 2022, while bitcoin miner Riot Platforms has risen 34%.
Is Kamala Harris Bent on Killing Free

Kamala Harris' Labour Party advisor's #1 priority is killing Twitter. We can't let the proles speak. Only the vanguard of the proletariat and their Pravda media propagandists can be allowed to have a say, lest the dirty dumb demos quit doing what they are told. Matt Taibbi and Paul Thacker have the scoop, and it is just as scary as you think. The campaign to destroy free speech is in full swing, and they are executing the plan. I have written a lot about censorship because, in the long run, it may present the greatest threat to our freedom. If we have free speech, we can at least fight back.

After watching Kamala Harris' hastily-called presser Wednesday afternoon (it can't really be called a press conference since she didn't take questions) in which she basically called Trump Hitler for eight minutes, I wondered what possessed Harris to do that -- especially since she was set to appear at a CNN Town Hall Wednesday night where she'd no doubt find the opportunity to bring up that talking point. (And, she did find the opportunity to bring up that talking point - video at the bottom of this story.) I mean, there's no way that any undecided "average Joe" voter would watch the video of Kamala's statement and think

With the momentum benefiting Donald Trump in the final weeks of the campaign, the sign of desperation from the Democrats has reached a fever pitch, and the left has now entered a phase where bogus anti-Trump stories are starting to flood the news. A couple of bogus stories have already been published, and more are on the way. Sources are pushing one story in particular, waiting for someone gullible enough to run with it. On Saturday night, Mark Halperin, discussing the recent Atlantic hit piece, which has already been debunked, revealed that he has been pitched a story that, if true, would "end his campaign."

Between October 13 and October 21, I’ve made a total of seven predictions about the Harris-Walz campaign. They were all published ahead of time for the whole world to see. The sixth one just came true. Here’s what I wrote on Oct. 21: I guarantee you that large numbers of the Harris-Walz campaign staff is talking off-the-record to the media every day. (Hey, they’re all on the same side. Many of them have even worked for the same bosses.) There’s a 100% probability they’re sharing tales of frustration, disappointment, fear, confusion, and anxiety — yet we haven’t really seen any stories about it. Nothing’s been leaked.

A New York Times report on Sunday that equated skepticism about Vice President Kamala Harris’s claim to have worked at McDonald’s with birtherism was based in large part on a source—a friend of Harris’s—who said that Harris’s late mother told her about the job. "Donald Trump has claimed without evidence that Ms. Harris never worked at the fast-food chain," the paper said. "Her campaign and a friend say she did."

In Judaism, there is a term for one of the largest sins that a human being can do: lashon hara. It literally means “the evil tongue,” and it's the term used to describe gossip. It is the equivalent of murder, theft, and idolatry all at once. It murders the reputation of the person you are gossiping about; it steals the opportunity for the person to whom you are speaking to learn about the person you're gossiping about; and it is a form of setting yourself up as an “idol” who is all-knowing. It is a quality that is despicable, and something that should never

The Justice Department warned Elon Musk’s America PAC in recent days that his $1 million sweepstakes to registered voters in swing states may violate federal law, people briefed on the matter told CNN. Musk, who has thrown his support behind former President Donald Trump and is spending millions of dollars supporting his candidacy, has publicized the $1 million prize by his political action committee aiming to increase voter registrations in hotly contested states. Musk’s initial promise to pay prizes to registered voters immediately raised concerns from election law experts and some state officials

Female athletes worldwide have lost nearly 900 medals to transgender-identifying male competitors who have intruded into women’s sports. “The replacement of the female sports category with a mixed-sex category has resulted in an increasing number of female athletes losing opportunities, including medals, when competing against males,” the report said. Titled “Violence against women and girls in sports,” the August study conducted by the United Nations found that by March 30, 2024, over 600 female athletes in more than 400 women’s division events across 29 different sports were defeated by transgender-identifying men. Male athletes have taken over 890 medals from female athletes, the report said.

Vice President Kamala Harris said Tuesday night she would reject religious exemptions for abortion as president, effectively forcing health-care providers to perform the medical procedure in violation of their moral conscience. The Democratic presidential nominee has been adamant about passing a bill that would codify Roe v. Wade into law, despite the Supreme Court overturning that decision in 2022. In an interview with NBC News anchor Hallie Jackson, Harris indicated she would refuse to compromise with Republican lawmakers on the abortion legislation. “I don’t think we should be making concessions when we’re talking about a fundamental freedom

The ladies of The View discussed a report that claims former President Donald Trump praised Hitler, predictably losing their minds. The topic of discussion was the released audio recordings of General John Kelly, Trump’s former chief of staff, who claimed the former president would make positive remarks about Hitler including saying he “did some good things.” It started with Alyssa Farah Griffin, Trump’s former director of strategic communications, who can’t believe people would not believe General Kelly because he’s “a four-star general” who was “so highly regarded by everyone in Trump’s West Wing.” “I mean, I just can’t believe that for four years people have been warning about this.

CBS has shown its true colors. The home of Walter Cronkite and Dan Rather is no longer just a biased news organization. That’s too kind. For years, I’ve watched this network go from slanted reporting to straight-up propaganda, and now to sheer deceit. The past month has shown that Republicans should have nothing to do with it — and that former President Donald Trump is right to call attention to its chicanery with a threat of legal action. First, CBS moderators broke the network’s own pledge not to fact-check during the vice-presidential debate, deliberately targeting GOP candidate J.D. Vance and doing so-
