Even An Obama Economist is Trashing Kamala's
Price Control Plan
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 8/17/2024 2:05:05 PM
Kamala Harris spent weeks avoiding press interviews, press conferences, and even making any bold policy announcements. However, on Friday, she unveiled her economic agenda, and it was such a disaster that something tells me it's back to the basement for Kamala. First, a liberal columnist at the Washington Post trashed Kamala's price control plan, and now, a Harvard economist who served in the Obama administration is also blasting the proposal. "This is not sensible policy, and I think the biggest hope is that it ends up being a lot of rhetoric and no reality," Jason Furman told The New York Times. "There’s no upside here, and there is some downside."

A CNN commentator excoriated presidential candidate Kamala Harris on Friday over the economic policies speech she delivered in North Carolina.
As previously reported, while speaking at a campaign event in North Carolina, Harris touted a blatantly communist agenda that calls for imposing price controls on food manufacturers and inflicting further taxes on the American people.
Addressing the speech later Friday afternoon on CNN, the network’s lone conservative commentator, Scott Jennings, tore into every part of it, including Harris’ claim that price controls are needed because prices remain so persistently high.
Jennings noted, for instance, that her admission that prices remain so high
A 2019 video of a Kamala Harris campaign event made the rounds on the internet Friday night after the Democrat presidential hopeful unveiled some of her economic proposals, including her apparent desire for Soviet-style price controls on groceries.
During her ill-fated run for president, the now-vice president said she could lower prices on drugs simply by having the government seize patents from pharmaceutical companies and “take over.” (snip) for any drug where they fail to play by our rules, and if that drug came about from federal funding for what’s called ‘R&D,’ research and development, I will snatch their patent so that we will take over,”
The national press found a new low on Friday after the New Yorker released a hit piece on Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance's grandparents.
Vance has long cited his "Mamaw" and "Papaw" as an inspiration despite their flaws, writing about them in his best-selling book "Hillbilly Elegy." You'd think they'd be off-limits in a political race given both are dead and hold zero relevance to anything concerning the current presidential race. Think again, though, because the following garbage article was pushed out. [Tweet]
Here's how the piece begins.
Last month, after I published an article about the Republican Vice-Presidential candidate J. D. Vance

This just in from Tales of the Bizarre: The Democratic National Convention will feature, aside from the usual lunacy, even more lunacy: Free vasectomies, inflatable intra-uterine birth control devices (IUDs), and pharmaceutical abortions outside the convention hall.
I suppose you could say that they are putting their money where their mouths are - except for the recipients of this largesse, who aren't paying.
While delegates are in Chicago for next week’s Democratic National Convention, they will engage in the typical pageantry and traditions: They’ll vote for their nominee, pose for photos with elected officials, and show off their state with cool buttons or themed hats.
It’s not the biggest national news, but Joe Biden’s tweaks to Title IX, which could have permitted biological males to compete in women’s sports, have been shut down by the Supreme Court. The new rule was enacted on August 1 but faced multiple lawsuits from state attorneys general. The Biden administration sought to enforce these new sections and lost in a 5-4 decision (via Fox News):
The Supreme Court voted 5-4 Friday to reject a Biden administration emergency request to enforce portions of a new rule that includes protections from discrimination for transgender students under Title IX.
The request would have permitted biological men in women’s bathrooms, locker rooms and dorms
The Milwaukee Police Association endorsed the Trump-Vance campaign on Friday in a statement that emphasized the many challenges facing officers in the city.
“We like to say the Milwaukee Police Association is the ‘force behind the force,’” said MPA president Alex Ayala. “We use the words ‘honor’ and ‘service’ when we talk about the brave men and women of our department. Their importance extends far beyond the uniform and badge; it is about their commitment to serving and protecting us all.”
Ayala highlighted the issues facing law enforcement in Milwaukee: “low bail for dangerous criminals, the need for an honest and concerted effort to pursue those offenders wanted on bench warrants,
We are just over one month since a smelly, pimply-faced incel tried to assassinate Donald Trump. The FBI immediately began its "investigation," and that's when I knew we were in trouble.
Not only have we learned next to nothing about the shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, but the mockingbird media mudpuppies have also memory-holed the shooting like it never happened.
Let's list what we know have been told by the vanilla, mainstream news yobbos about Crooks and his attempt to kill President Trump:
Crooks was a "lone wolf" (yawn, heard that one before).
He had three mysterious, overseas, encrypted accounts (but no one is talking about that anymore).

Some protest groups are predicting 100,000 demonstrators during the Democratic National Convention next week. File that one under the "I'll believe it when I see it" category. The city and law enforcement authorities are keeping mum about their predictions of crowd size for the demonstrations but the more rational protest organizers are saying between 30,000 to 40,000 people are expected to march.
That's still an awfully large number for the Chicago Police Department to handle when you consider the immense area they're going to have to protect.
Chicago business owners at "Ground Zero" of the protests — the West Loop and the area around Union Park — are taking no chances.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson began his career as an activist organizer for the Chicago Teachers Union. He's marched, went on hunger strikes, and stood in solidarity with the "defund the police" movement. (“I don’t look at it as a slogan. It’s an actual real political goal.”)
At a roundtable discussion in 2023 during his campaign for mayor, the radical left activists who were supplying much of the energy and heart to his campaign were deeply disappointed because Johnson wasn't, well, radical enough.
“I’m not going to become mayor and then capitalism will fall,” he joked, according to meeting attendee, author Asha Ransby-Sporn.
But it's where Johnson's heart is.
Summer is nearly over, and that means back to school for both big and little kids. For smaller kids, that means a trip to Walmart or Target or wherever you get overpriced children's fashions and school supplies.
For big kids, that means laying in supplies to survive the coming protests. What are all the kids wearing to the "Free Palestine" riots? Hopefully, the returning students were able to save up enough bail money from their summer jobs (if that's even a thing anymore).
The protests will be back. And they'll be given a huge shot of Starbucks double espresso as kids who watched all the excitement and romanticism during the protests

I believe it's perfectly fair to describe Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) as a "baddie," a term we young folks often use. It's worth noting that Luna had a brief stint in modeling about ten years ago, long before her political career took off.
And yes, she did do swimsuit stuff.
One brief video of her from 2016 modeling a "Make America Great Again" one-piece swimsuit has been generating controversy for some incomprehensible reason. [Tweet, video]
Frankly, I fail to see any issue here, and I'm sure some of our male readers are equally perplexed.
Luna isn't apologizing for knowing that she can turn heads on X,

Ranchers are furious after an armed federal agent stormed the land of a South Dakota couple, who are now facing 10 years in prison over a fence if convicted as charged. Charles and Heather Maude, both 39, of Caputa, were separately served grand jury indictments of alleged theft of government property on June 24 by Forest Service Special Agent Travis Lunders, who showed up at their door unannounced, armed, and full tactical gear, according to Cowboy State Daily.

The presidential campaign for Kamala Harris is now including special pronoun options for job applicants, as part of their commitment to diversity and inclusion.
The job application for the Harris campaign includes nine different options for pronouns, including 'xe/xem,' 'ze/hir,' 'ey/em,' 'fae/faer' and 'hu/hu.'
'Fae/faer,' indicates a gender-fluid person but non-masculine, sometimes of Celtic origin. 'Hu/hu,' pronouns are third person gender-neutral pronouns referring to both a man and a woman.
The other pronouns are considered gender neutral.
The 2024 Democratic National Convention (DNC) is scheduled to take place next week from August 19-22, 2024 in Chicago.
However, the city is bracing for the chaos of up to 100,000 pro-Hamas protesters flooding the streets and has instituted new courtroom procedures to streamline the process in the event of mass arrests.
It is also hoping to avoid the bad optics of the 1968 DNC convention that saw then-Mayor Richard J. Daley ring the convention site with barbed wire and ultimately call in the National Guard to quell the violence.
Her words may often come in salad form but when it comes to stress eating Kamala Harris prefers a very cheesy crunchy snack.
The vice president has left the internet divided after learning the Democratic presidential nominee's guilty pleasure is Nacho Cheese Doritos - a treat she said soothed her soul after what she labeled the 'shock and dismay' of the 2016 election.
In a fundraising email her team sent out on Friday night, Harris revealed she ate an entire bag of the flavored tortilla chips by herself that night.
Over the last decade, late night shows (with the single exception of Greg Gutfeld) have become nothing more than infomercials for the Democrat party.
It has gotten to the point where almost the only guests on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert are Democrat politicians and hosts from CNN or MSNBC.
Millions of Americans have been turned off and have tuned out. As a result, many of these shows are going to be phased out eventually.

In an interview this week, Jimmy Kimmel conceded that the end is nigh for late-night talk shows.
Vot-ER is a group of 50,000 physicians who are signing up patients to vote in the 2024 election. The group is led by Dr. Dr. Alister Martin who served as a White House Fellow in the office of Kamala Harris.

A plot to steal the 2024 election from President Trump is well underway, and not just by suppressing information online or dragging Trump through the court system. Those are instances of throwing anything and everything at the wall hoping something sticks, but not the master plan. The real plots have a much more direct impact on the election results rather than just swaying voter perception. We know this because those behind these plots are openly revealing them. A recent joint CISA and FBI press release warned of potential “attacks on election infrastructure that support election operations, which could hinder public access to election information.”
Vice President Harris is holding a narrow lead over former President Trump ahead of the Democratic National Convention next week, according to a new poll.
The ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll found Harris has 49 percent of support among registered voters while Trump has 45 percent and 5 percent said they would back someone else. This shows Harris pulling ahead, as a previous ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll conducted last month showed President Biden and Trump tied at 46 percent of support each.
Harris also holds a thin lead over Trump when third-party candidates are added to the mix. The poll showed Harris with 47 percent of support, Trump with 44 percent
Axios headline, April 12: “New data shows violent crime dropping sharply in major U.S. cities.”
That assertion, the article merrily stated, “puts a serious dent in one of the most frequently used lines of attack by former President Trump and his allies, who have sought to tie Democrats to the issue since 2020.” And it comes surely by coincidence as freshly anointed Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris gives herself a makeover as a hard ass on crime rather than the effusive “defund the police” candidate she ran as in 2020.

ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia’s secretary of state on Thursday came out against election rule changes pending before the State Election Board, specifically rejecting a proposal to count ballots by hand at polling places on election night. At a meeting in July, the board advanced a proposal that would require three separate poll workers to count ballots at voting precincts on election night to make sure they match the number of ballots recorded by voting machines. That proposal has been posted for public comment and the board is set to vote Monday whether to adopt it.
The DNC Convention starts tomorrow. I have been requested to repost “THE BIG WHY” explanation. When we understand just how much corruption was needed in the weaponization of the modern IC, we start to understand why the effort to hide it will continue.
President Barack Obama and his Attorney General Eric Holder did not create a weaponized DOJ and FBI; instead, what they did was take the preexisting system and retool it, so the weapons only targeted one side of the political continuum. This point is where many people understandably get confused.
Abortion behemoth Planned Parenthood will offer free medication abortions and vasectomies during the Democratic National Convention (DNC).
A mobile health center run by Planned Parenthood Great Rivers will set up shop near the convention and provide these services the first two days of the convention, according to The New York Times. The Times noted that there’s already a waiting list for vasectomies. This, the Times reported, shows the Democrats’ “head-on display of a new, unbridled abortion politics” (via NYT):
