Until Thursday night, we did not know that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are truly supreme beings. They are the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful humans we’ve ever known. We realize this now because he media told us so. And the American media would never try to manipulate the voters, would it? It just tells the story straight. For instance:

The Media Marketed Candidates

Until Thursday night, we did not know that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are truly supreme beings. They are the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful humans we’ve ever known. We realize this now because he media told us so.
And the American media would never try to manipulate the voters, would it? It just tells the story straight. For instance:
If you’re one of the shrunken number of people who have bothered to watch the Democratic National Convention, you will by now certainly know it’s been long on rhetoric, and incredibly short on policy specifics. That’s not a bug, it’s a feature.
On Thursday night’s final evening of the Democratic National Convention, the party’s candidate and current Vice President Kamala Harris didn’t release a party platform. So “our democracy,” as the Dems like to call it, apparently doesn’t come equipped with any policy promises. Just a candidate, who received zero votes in any primary.
The truth is, the increasingly far-left Democratic Party doesn’t want anyone
When Americans listen to Kamala Harris’ acceptance speech tonight, they need to tune out the thrill-up-the-leg praise from the media and the audience’s stream of verbal bouquets and ask themselves one question: Are they better off today than they were four years ago. For all but a few, the answer would be resounding “no.”
In the only debate between President Jimmy Carter and challenger Ronald Reagan in the 1980 campaign, just days before the election, Reagan asked what the Harvard John F. Kennedy School of Government called “one of the most important campaign questions of all time:
“Are you better off today than you were four years ago?”
Conservatives were making hay about Kamala Harris’ latest “word salad” at a campaign event in Pennsylvania, where, in an attempt to sound intelligent, she went on about the “duality of democracy.”
“They took Kamala off the teleprompter today in Pennsylvania,” Outkick.com founder Clay Travis posted on X. “It didn’t go well.”
But conservatives have it wrong. It’s actually much worse than that.
Harris has been uttering this particular word salad for years – robotically, using almost the exact same phraseology, and at almost any public event where she was allowed to speak, whether or not it was relevant.
Democrats And Their Riots

Vice President Hubert Humphrey entered the 1968 Democratic National Convention polling well though he had run in none of the primaries nor had he received a single vote. The convention, marred by conflict and bloodshed, was “disastrous” in historical terms, with Republican Richard Nixon emerging, says the Washington Post, as “the one person” who was “fully victorious.”
Will this year’s convention, in Chicago, just as in 1968, yield a similar result? Those who care for the future of this country and don’t want it fundamentally transformed by radicals, should pray so.
The similarities between the Democrats’ 1968 and 2024 conventions go far beyond the host city.
These aren’t the reviews Vice President Kamala Harris was hoping for when she premiered her economic plan. Worse, many of them came from her fans. Which might explain why Democrats are begging Harris to keep the rest of her agenda hidden until after the elections.
The Washington Post editorial board savaged Harris’ plan, saying that: “The times demand serious economic ideas. Harris supplies gimmicks.”
The Post was particularly brutal in its attack on Harris’ half-baked “price gouging” plan against Big Grocery, which the Post said “has been met with almost instant skepticism, with many critics citing President Richard M. Nixon’s failed
America On Fire

After a catastrophic debate and backstage power struggle, Joseph Robinette Biden told the American people that the time has come to pass the torch. And as his anointed successor would say, that time is now, in a historic concession speech at the Democratic National Convention.
Torch is apt as a metaphor for the agenda that has been pried from Biden’s grasp and passed to Kamala Harris. As carried out under two presidents over 16 years, the Democratic Party agenda has not so much transformed America as set it ablaze.
Inflation — Financial Insecurity
Massive overspending by the Biden administration unleashed inflation that is crushing the finances of working people and middle-income families.
President Joe Biden has largely receded into the background at the White House after giving up his campaign for a second term following intense pressure from top Democrats. Despite occupying the most powerful job on Earth, Biden seems to have been relegated to the sidelines. Do voters want Biden now to formally step aside? The I&I/TIPP Poll has answers.
To find out what Americans thought, the national online I&I/TIPP Poll this month asked 1,488 adults this question: “Which of the following do you believe is in the best interest of the country?” The poll, taken from July 31-Aug. 2, has a margin of error of +/-2.7 percentage points.
We’re finally getting some inkling of what the Democrats’ anointed presidential candidate Kamala Harris has in store for Americans when it comes to the economy. It’s not good. Indeed, it’s a disaster in the making, one that would set the U.S. economy back decades, destroy businesses, create shortages and lead to even higher prices.
Harris has a big problem. She’s the No. 2 official in an administration that many economists consider the worst in decades. How do you escape that? Of course, you deny it’s your fault, then promise radical, unworkable new policies to replace the old failed ones. The ol’ switcheroo.
The Climate Of Lies Keeps Getting Hotter

The New York Times recently published a long story warning that the planet’s climate tipping points are frighteningly near. The “great systems in the natural world,” the reporters say, “might be pushing toward collapse” due to man’s use of fossil fuel. Maybe so. Or the changes we’re seeing in the climate might be entirely natural.
But that won’t sell papers to a readership that suffers from a chronic and intellectually stunting case of confirmation bias.
The Times wants us to worry about the mass death of coral reefs, the abrupt thawing of permafrost, the collapse of Greenland ice, the breakup of West Antarctic ice, a sudden shift in the West African monsoon,
This week a coalition of leftist groups released an ad for Kamala Harris that contains what the New York Times describes as the “unified message from the left.” What is the message? The election is all about “our freedom” – by which they mean their freedom, not yours.
As the Times puts it, leftist groups tested its “freedom” messaging in the 2022 midterms to “reclaim the language about freedom and personal liberty,” which they say helped “blunt what had been expected to be a sweeping victory for Republicans.”
As we noted in this space recently, Harris has been talking up the
A Campaign Of ‘Joy’?
11 replies
The Democratic talking points were issued and the media enthusiastically accommodated: The Harris-Walz campaign is now a moveable feast of joy. But there’s nothing even remotely joyful about Kamala Harris’ and Tim Walz’s political orientation. Their positions are founded on militancy and just plain meanness.
The media are nothing but shills for the Democratic Party. They are so willing to please that they will run with whatever theme the party tells them to. Take a look at recent headlines.
“Harris Used to Worry About Laughing. Now Joy Is Fueling Her Campaign,” says the New York Times.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Friday that he was suspending his campaign - with a twist.
Kennedy pushed supporters who live in 10 swing states to back Republican nominee Donald Trump, but said his name would remain on the ballots on traditional red or blue states.
'I would like everyone to know that I am not terminating my campaign, I am simply suspending it,' Kennedy said in Arizona on Friday. In long-winded remarks, Kennedy said he was withdrawing from the race in swing states because, 'I would likely hand the election over to the Democrats, with whom I disagree on the most existential issues.'
Disgraced former FBI Director James Comey is emphatically urging Americans to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz in the 2024 presidential election.
Friday morning — the morning after the finale of the Democrat’s convention, which ended with Harris delivering the 12th shortest acceptance speeches in modern history — Deep State figure James Comey let the country know that he was in his feels in the aftermath.
“Kamala Harris made me feel like it’s finally morning in America,” Comey said. “Everyone who cares about the rule of law and America’s indispensable role in the world should vote for Harris and Walz.”
“I will,” Comey vowed:
Anthony Fauci was hospitalized after being infected with the potentially deadly West Nile Virus.
Fauci, the former longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, is now back at home getting treatment.
Fauci, 83, who served on the White House Coronavirus Task Force, is expected to make a full recovery, a spokesperson told CNN.
The West Nile virus is the most common mosquito-spread disease in the continental US, with a median of over 2,200 cases being reported every year, according to the Department of Health and Human Services.
Members of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s extended family called it a “betrayal of the values that our father and our family hold most dear” on Friday after the independent presidential candidate announced that he was endorsing former President Trump.
“We want an America filled with hope and bound together by a shared vision of a brighter future,” Kerry Kennedy wrote in a statement alongside four of Kennedy’s siblings. “We believe in Harris and Walz. Our brother Bobby’s decision to endorse Trump today is a betrayal of the values that our father and our family hold most dear.”
“It is a sad ending to a sad story,” they added.
A woman who inherited $250,000 from her late grandmother has revealed how she quit her job, blew through the money and now lives in a rental home. Sarah Faith Jacobson, a 40-year-old corporate consultant in Texas, said after she received the large amount of money she had no idea what to do with it, and 'regrets' how she spent it. Her grandparents were successful Bay Area real-estate investors in the 1970s,
“PBS NewsHour" anchor Judy Woodruff apologized Wednesday for reporting a story about former President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that both leaders have staunchly denied. Woodruff posted an apology to X expressing regret for reporting this week that in a phone call, Trump urged Netanyahu to delay a hostage deal between Israel and Hamas until after the 2024 presidential election to benefit him politically.
"This was a mistake and I apologize for it," Woodruff wrote. She posted, "I want to clarify my remarks on the PBS News special on Monday night about the ongoing cease fire talks in the Middle East.
Country legends The Chicks were heavily panned for an awkwardly off-key performance of the National Anthem at the Democrat National Convention.
The Nashville natives, who created a firestorm of controversy 20 years ago over criticism of George W. Bush and the Iraq War, were a highly-anticipated get for the DNC on its final night.
However, their performance of the Star-Spangled Banner was almost universally slammed, even by fans of the band formerly known as 'The Dixie Chicks' before dropping the d-word in 2020.
With multiple reports confirming speculation that Vice President Kamala Harris will back President Biden’s tax hike plan, reactions have started pouring in from prominent figures in political and economic circles. "It would be devastating to the economy," former CKE Restaurants CEO Andy Puzder said Thursday on "The Evening Edit."
"You're going to give up revenue, you're going to lose companies. We're going to lose business," he continued.
"You need to understand, a 25% increase in unrealized capital gains means, theoretically at least, if your house goes up in price, in value, the government can step in and say: give me the money,”
Democrat Party operative David Axelrod took Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s endorsement of Donald Trump hard.
The former campaign and White House adviser to Barack Obama took to social media to air his grievances over the scion of the premier Democrat political family endorsing the Republican standard bearer.
“Robert F. Kennedy was my political hero,” Axelrod said. “He battled fiercely & eloquently against poverty, injustice and for economic fairness. Sadly RFK Jr, who made a rambling exit from the race today, proves that sometimes an apple DOES fall far from the tree…in this case, down a hill and over a cliff.” (X)

Hunter Biden’s celebrity attorney lashed out that federal prosecutors are trying to “slime” the first son — by trying to introduce evidence that Hunter splurged on strippers and pornography at his upcoming tax trial in Los Angeles.
Mark Geragos argued during a hearing in a Los Angeles federal courtroom that special counsel David Weiss’s effort to introduce evidence of Hunter’s seedy spending while avoiding paying $1.4 million in taxes is nothing more than “character assassination” and shouldn’t be allowed.
“They want to slime him because that is the whole purpose,” Geragos told federal Judge Mark Scarsi.
“It’s actually a form of character assassination,"
Another attack on a music festival, this time in Germany. No one is using the T-word yet but some reports say this was a random attack using a knife. The attacker is still at large.

Philanderer Doug Emhoff a ‘Progressive
Sex Symbol’ 19 replies
Kamala Harris’s husband Doug Emhoff is a “progressive sex symbol,” according to The Washington Post.
The Post has long had a reputation as one of the Democratic Party’s most influential media propagandists. Yet this latest headline on its website takes that impression to the next level.
According to opinion writer Catherine Rampell, Emhoff has earned the title of “progressive sexy symbol” because he is “secure enough with his own masculinity to sometimes prioritize his wife’s ambitions over his own.”
