Republicans, You’re Going After Kamala
All Wrong

Original Article

Republicans are just waking up to the horror that they’ve been had. The Trump campaign seems blindsided by Kamala Harris. Having avoided the ordeal of a primary, Harris dances onto the national scene appearing well-rested and unscathed. In polls, she is already tied with Trump—erasing his sizable lead in just one week. Scrambling to make sense of what just happened, J.D. Vance has called her extra-democratic appointment a “coup.” He has suggested it cheated voters out of the chance to pick their own nominee. But a “coup” involves regime change. This switcheroo involved none. That’s why you don’t see members of the Biden administration objecting.

Once independents get a taste of the real Kamala they will desert her in droves. Word salads and cackles will turn them off quickly.

Her past beliefs, her past policies that made everything worse, what she has said, what she does still say, her inability to do ANYTHING meaningful in the past 3.5 years. The fact that she is a LIAR and cannot be trusted to be straight with the American people. Drop the personal attacks and get to the meat of the matter. Her past, her now, and what hell she wants to bring us in the future.

To suggest that the Trump team was caught off guard with Kamala Harris is ludicrous. They knew before any of us that it was going to happen the way it did. Their immediate pivot to Kamala was obvious. I would suggest Abigail not fall prey to the media gaslighting.

The Trump campaign needs to show ads with Kamala saying all the things she would do if President. Stop off-shore drilling, fracking, mandatory gun 'buy back' and so much more. Then show how she is now against all those things. Then have President Trump smiling and saying...'Kamala, welcome to the Republican Party.'

PLEASE start saying that Kamala is NOT black. Her Father is Jamaican and her Mother is Indian. Her family were SLAVE OWNERS. Dems want to get rid of school names and statues from our founding fathers that were slave owners and now blacks want to vote for a NON BLACK WOMAN (dems cannot even define a woman) whose family OWNED SLAVES.

I think she's absolutely right. Yesterday, Trump should have stayed away from race. His answer to the DEI question was to ask why Biden chose her. Trump should have spelled out who Kamala really is and countered media efforts to redefine her. The press will ensure there are minimal efforts for Trump/Vance to make their case. They've got to focus on more than the base.

I agree on avoiding the "slut-shaming." For women Democrat voters, especially the dingbat singles, that's a resume enhancer. But those "kindly auntie" and "warmer conventional personal side" references were vomit-inducing.

I wouldn't dismiss Abigail Schrier. She may be on to something when it comes to exposing the values that drive Harris, and the importance of forcing her to discuss them. Schrier wrote a book denouncing the rapid rise of transgender ideology, called "Irreversible Damage." The article today and her admitted radicalism points out the following: FTA: "She fully supported Biden’s disastrous, inhumane policy of encouraging not only hormones but also gender surgeries for vulnerable minors and of flinging open the doors of women’s jail cells to biologically male offenders." This is a legitimate concern for most Americans, and probably more compelling than whether or not Democrats play by their own rules. As I recall, it was the PARENTS at school board meetings, who openly objected to males identifying as females in schools that caught the attention of the DOJ. This is a topic that hasn't been discussed nearly enough, and it's an issue in schools across the country. Today's topics on Lucianne include the outcome at the Olympics, when a biological female was sent into the ring to "compete" against a biological male who left her with injuries after less than a minute. This is a current event, and I can't think of any reason Harris shouldn't be questioned extensively about her support of such competitions.

#9, The vast majority of Jamaicans are black. Harris is black and Indian. She is as black as Obama and claiming she isn't will not convince one person not to vote for her. The author of this piece is right. Talk about her and demented Joe's disastrous administration and her far left extremism. Talk about what Trump will do to get this country back on track. By all means do not mention Willie Brown. Trump's sexual past isn't much better than hers.

Sen. JD Vance fired back at a CNN reporter who asked him whether former President Trump's comments about Kamala Harris' race were concerning to him as a "father of three biracial children." Vance visited the U.S. southern border on Thursday where he attacked Harris' record as the border czar during a press conference in Cochise County, Arizona. At one point on the trip, CNN correspondent Steve Contorno asked the vice presidential contender about Trump's comment a day earlier, when he told a crowd at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) convention that Harris "became a Black person," after years of identifying as Indian.
Biden’s Supreme Court Reforms Are Unconstitutional 7 replies

On Monday, President Biden proposed two reforms to the Supreme Court—term limits for justices and a binding ethics code—along with a constitutional amendment to its recent presidential-immunity decision. Making his case in a Washington Post op-ed, the president claimed broad support and specifically thanked “the bipartisan Presidential Commission on the [SCOTUS] for its insightful analysis, which informed some of these proposals.” But there’s a problem with Biden trying to use the commission to give his proposals legitimacy. Adam White, who served as a member of that commission, tells The Free Press that “nothing in our report actually recommended anything” that the president is now proposing.

Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., is seeking to raise the equivalent of a gold medal for an Olympic athlete who was defeated by an opponent who previously failed gender eligibility tests. Italian boxer Angela Carini competed in the 66-kilogram women’s division Olympic boxing match Thursday, but abandoned the fight just 45 seconds in after getting hit by her opponent, who was deemed to have male chromosomes. Carini left the match against Algerian boxer Imane Khelif in tears, saying later: "I didn't give up, but one punch hurt too much, and so I said enough." "Enough is enough," Boebert told Fox News

With the ascension of Saint Kamala, we are now watching the Mean Girl rebranding of the Democratic Party. It has to be the biggest miscalculation in political history. As polls show America’s young men are lurching rightward at a rapid pace, the Democratic brand has finally evolved into the party of scolding shrews, nagging Karens and “preachy females,” as Dem dinosaur James Carville calls them. Its image is tied to a type of unserious, self-involved, neurotic, dogmatic Dem-fem who insists on telling you her pronouns and whose highest goal is abortion on demand right up until the moment of birth.

Monday night, I watched the livestream of the “White Dudes for Harris” fundraiser. Our host, a thirtysomething political operative with a man-bun and a beard, was upfront: some people didn’t feel comfortable with this event. But, he argued, white men feel lonely; they’re struggling in the new economy and feeling forgotten. MAGA has co-opted masculinity, he said, and the left has ceded white guys to the right-wing. “But,” he declared, “that stops tonight.” He then introduced the first guest speaker: a black guy. If you’re wondering why the Harris campaign organized an event just for white guys—so am I.

If the candidate was as compelling as the media pretends, they wouldn’t have to completely reinvent her. Remember that time Joe Biden named Vice President Kamala Harris the border czar, and we all watched her fail to do anything about the crisis? You only think you do. Because Harris was never a czar. Not technically, since we don’t have czars in the United States. Everyone knows that. When Joe promised Kamala would “lead our efforts” to fix the border crisis, what he really meant was that the vice president would research some of the “root causes” during weekends, and maybe take a few diplomatic trips or whatnot. But czar, c’mon.

As Michael Kinsley defined it, a gaffe occurs when a politician accidentally tells the truth. Joe Biden passed the test when he explained why he was pushing a radical overhaul of the Supreme Court. It’s because Donald Trump made him do it. As Biden might say, “No joke, I’m serious!” The cognitively challenged president has been shoved to the back of the bus after being driven out of the race by undemocratic Dems, which is perhaps why he admitted the truth. Whatever the reason, Biden’s confession Monday at the LBJ Presidential Library perfectly captures the cause of the turmoil that has reshaped American public life in the last nine years.

Grassroots activists are warning Republicans that while former President Donald Trump has surged in momentum lately, the “belief that Democrats are in such disarray” following President Joe Biden’s ouster from the race could lead to dangerous “complacency.” Trump currently leads Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic nominee, by 3 points nationwide, according to a recent CNN poll. RealClearPolitics has Trump up 2.1 percentage points in its polling average. But if President Joe Biden could win an election from his basement, and if Sen. John Fetterman could win his election despite being severely impaired from a stroke, then Harris can easily win this November if Republicans

President Trump Announces New Policy Proposal

This is a very significant policy proposal. President Trump is supporting a position that Seniors should not pay taxes on Social Security income.This comes on the heels of President Trump supported policy that income received from service tips should not be taxed. Combined, both of these policies would result in massive numbers of middle-class Americans having more money in their bank accounts. The national economic benefits of these two combined policies are extremely significant and could actually offset the financial damage done by Joe Biden. The timing of this announcement coincides with President Trump visiting Chicago. SENIORS SHOULD NOT PAY TAX ON SOCIAL SECURITY!

Nevertheless, if the Party leaders expect a positive response from the Jewish community in November, they may be disappointed.

Khelif advanced to the quarterfinals of the women's 66kg category after unloading two strong punches on Angela Carini, who shrugged off attempts by the Algerian to shake her hand and collapsed to her knees in floods of tears. An Italian coach said Carini had suffered a badly hurt nose and the official decision was listed as an abandonment.
