A Requiem for Hersh Goldberg-Polin
Posted By: Hazymac, 9/2/2024 9:45:35 AM
A couple of summers ago, I saw a huge, brightly marked wasp crawl out of a hole in the sandy soil above a curb. It was such a striking creature and its burrow so cleanly excavated that I had to know more. I finally identified the creature as a cicada killer wasp, and while it may have been an impressive and attractive insect at a glance, its habits were nightmarish. The female, you see, flies up to an unsuspecting cicada that is minding its own business, singing to the summer from a tree, and paralyzes it with a sting. It then transports the helpless creature to its burrow.

Happy Monday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) Poll Perspective. On September 2, 2016, Hillary Clinton led Donald Trump by 4.1 points in the RealClearPolitics Poll Average.
The mainstream media hacks who masquerade as journalists while behaving as the Joseph Goebbels Memorial Propaganda Machine for the Democratic National Committee have long been giving conservative Americans plenty of reasons to distrust and dislike them. As I wrote in a VIP column a couple of weeks ago, I don't like to use the word "hate," but the MSM public relations push for Kamala Harris is begging me to make it a regular part of my vocabulary.
What has played out
President Biden claimed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not doing enough to secure a hostage deal with Hamas terrorists.
Biden made the remarks to reporters before heading into the Situation Room, where he and Vice President Harris are convening with a hostage deal negotiating team following the murder of 23-year-old Israeli-American Hersh Goldberg-Polin and five other hostages by Hamas on Saturday.
On the South Lawn of the White House, where Biden disembarked from Marine One upon returning from his vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, one reporter asked, "Mr. President, do you think it’s time for Prime Minister Netanyahu

There is a lot of drama happening surrounding former President Donald Trump’s visit to Arlington Cemetery to honor the 13 servicemembers who were killed in a suicide bombing attack at Abbey Gate in Kabul, Afghanistan. The attack occurred on August 26, 2021, during our shambolic exit from the country, which will go down as one of the Biden administration’s most infamous foreign policy failures. Trump was there. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were not. The optics were atrocious, which led to the liberal media spewing fake news about the ceremony.
They accused Trump of politicizing the event, then attacked the Gold Star parents who voiced their outrage

When Joe Met Leni

During the DNC, the Democrats bumped Biden’s speech, as the New York Post put it, “past his bedtime” but Biden managed to read the boilerplate composed by his woke-left-globalist handlers. He did the same on September 1, 2022, backdropped in blood red, with U.S. Marines at the ready, like something staged by Nazi cineaste Leni Riefenstahl,. The Delaware Democrat told the nation:
"Too much of what’s happening in our country today is not normal. Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.
Now, I want to be very clear — very clear up front: Not every Republican,
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is slurping up milkshakes and eating pork chops on a stick at the state fair this weekend. Not many outlets will cover this heinous exchange with the press at the event, where Walz refused to answer a question about how he felt about the six hostages whose bodies were found by Israeli forces in Gaza over the weekend. Walz listened to the question and then walked away. (X) The reporter asked, “What's your reaction to the six hostages being found dead in Gaza?"
"Thanks, everybody!" replied Walz as he waved goodbye.
One of the six was American Hersh Goldberg-Polin. The terror group likely executed these people.
The big debate is coming up and I think Kamala will pull out. I could be wrong, but a lot of people agree with me. And she should chicken out – she’s bound to make a fool of herself. Let’s just say that Kamala Harris is not great at public speaking. She did a 41-minute interview with Dana Bash that couldn’t have been more softball if CNN had put a Nerf on a tee in front of her and let her swing away until she hit it. They only released about 18 minutes of her babbling. Where is the rest? We can safely assume she looked like
Now that the euphoria on the part of the delegates to the Democrat Convention has subsided, the Democrats will now have to try to sell to the voting public, a tandem of dubious candidates to try make lemonade out of apples. A major task. It's like the reincarnation of the old vaudeville act of Frick and Frack under the label of Democrat candidates for president and vice-president, “Kackling” Kamala Harris and “Won-Ton” Tim Walz.
The Democrat elites went all out, at their convention, to try to bamboozle the electorate into thinking that the the Democrats are really not Democrats, but a clone of their opponents, the Republicans, by copying
Kamala Harris is desperate for a repeat of her debate with Mike Pence in 2020, where she was able to portray herself as the battered woman candidate who was being mansplained and bullied. It was all fabricated and almost certainly planned, but it became her signature: (X) In the two debates scheduled for Joe Biden and Trump, one of the rules was that there would be no talk-over – the mics would be muted when it was not the candidate’s time to speak. That rule, as all the rules, was demanded by Biden. I didn’t think that would be good for Trump, who likes a freewheeling debate style,
Florida executed Loran Cole on Thursday in the 1994 murder of an 18-year-old college student whose big sister was raped during what started as a fun camping weekend and became a family's worst nightmare.
Cole, 57, was executed by lethal injection and pronounced dead at 6:15 p.m. at the Florida State Prison in Raiford, about 40 miles southwest of Jacksonville. It marked Florida's first execution of the year and the 13th in the nation.
Cole was convicted in the 1994 murder of Florida State University student John Edwards and the sexual assault of his older sister in the Ocala National Forest, about 70 miles northwest of Orlando.
Edwards' parents, Timothy and Victoria Edwards,
Actor Ben Stiller received a mixed reception online after he endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, saying that her candidacy has brought "change" to the Democratic Party.
"Just very excited about moving forward and all the energy and excitement that's around this movement right now," Stiller said in a video interview posted by journalist Nicholas A. Ballasy that has since gone viral online. "That's why I'm here, because it's time for change, and it seems like it's happening."
Stiller and other Hollywood celebrities, including actor George Clooney, have endorsed Harris as President Biden's successor as the Democratic Party's nominee for president. When asked if Harris could keep up her momentum after the
The Zuckerberg Letter, Cont'd

Yesterday I compiled the New York Post’s coverage of the Zuckerberg letter. In my post I focused on Facebook’s suppression of the New York Post’s coverage of Hunter Biden’s laptop in the run-up to the 2020 presidential election.
Speaking for myself, I quoted Zuckerberg’s statement that Facebook sent “the Post story to fact-checkers for review[.]” I commented that every element of the Post’s coverage was accurate and authenticated. I added that it would therefore be nice to see the timeline of Facebook’s work and the work product. They would tell a story all by themselves.
I linked to Matt Taibbi’s subscribers-only Racket News post on the letter. Today the Post publishes

Prince Harry is reported to have told friends that he feels like a "spare" in the United States. Pals of the Duke of Sussex have reportedly said he feels that he has lost his way and even feels overshadowed by his wife, Meghan Markle, in public. [Snip] They added: "The Colombia trip also really highlighted how Meghan is comfortable stepping into the spotlight, while Harry cuts a very sulky, unhappy figure in the background." The unnamed source claimed Harry wants to find a way back to royal life in Britain and is seeking the advice of old pals and associates.
Vice President Kamala Harris told a voter in Savannah, Georgia, last week that she made so many collard greens for a friend’s Christmas party that she washed them in the bathtub.
“I have a friend who had a Christmas Party Christmas Eve every year, and she asked me to make the greens for her party every year. And I am not lying to you, that I would make so many greens, that I’d need to wash them in the bathtub. I’m telling you the truth.” Harris said.
Harris then divulged her recipe, which the voter seemed to appreciate.

Kamala Harris has so many things wrong with her that one could parody with a nickname.
We've seen a variety of monikers floated out there already, including things like Cackling Kamala and Chicken-mala after she started ducking debates. But it was actually one of her supporters who managed to lead us to the perfect nickname that truly encapsulates how bad voting for her would be. Victor Shi, a Democratic influencer who is part of the "Youth Team" for Harris and Walz, posted the following. (X)
Donald Trump says he will end the Justice Department moratorium on executions on his first day in office, and use the full force of the law to go after major drug dealers and cop killers.
The Trump campaign sees crime, in general, and Kamala Harris's record as a prosecutor in California, in particular, as areas where they can inflict damage on her presidential bid.
And in an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Trump laid out more details of his crime-fighting agenda starting with whether he would reverse the Biden-Harris administration's freeze on federal executions.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) in an interview published Monday said he believes Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) will be remembered “poorly,” while noting he could save some of his reputation by getting “the old Republican Party back.”
Schumer told Punchbowl News he has recently been “more friendly” with McConnell in light of the Republican’s efforts to shore up GOP votes for bipartisan legislation under President Biden, including the most recent aid package for Ukraine. This, however, may not have been enough to change McConnell’s legacy, Schumer added.
Canadian-born writer Jennifer Szalai’s recent article for The New York Times calls the U.S. Constitution a ‘threat to American Democracy’ that is ‘beyond redemption.’
Szalai’s piece, ‘The Constitution Is Sacred. Is It Also Dangerous?’ suggests that the document may be one of the biggest threats to America’s politics, describing it as “a document that is essentially antidemocratic and, in this day and age, increasingly dysfunctional.”
She criticizes the Electoral College and laments the Constitution’s protection of minority rights as a “tyranny of the minority” and a “disempowerment of majorities” and blames the founding document for being responsible for President Trump’s election in 2016.
A pair of reparations-related bills for the descendants of enslaved Black Americans failed to pass in the California legislature on Saturday after backers said the bills would not move forward.
Authored by Democrat state Sen. Steven Bradford of Inglewood, Senate Bill 1331 would have created a new state fund for reparations, while Senate Bill 1403 would have established a state agency to oversee these efforts and determine who would be eligible.
These measures were considered key components of some lawmakers’ ambitious efforts to pass legislation aimed at atoning for what they said was a legacy of racist policies that drove disparities for Black people, from housing to education to health.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz continued on after his motorcade crashed in a several-car pile up that injured a staffer Monday on their way to a campaign stop for Vice President Kamala Harris in Milwaukee, Wisc.
The motorcade crashed at 1:57 p.m. ET, when several press vans in the line up slammed into each other. Walz, who was toward the front of the motorcade, was unaffected and kept going, according to reporters who were in the vans.
“A staff member in our press van appears to have a broken arm and is being treated by medics. Everyone else is shaken but appears to be in okay condition. We were violently thrown forward,
Under pressure, Harris just completed her first “live interview”—a disastrous performance that was mysteriously taped, edited, and emotionally supported by her co-interviewed running mate. During the interview, she claimed that her values remain the same even though her manifestations of them have admittedly changed. Translated, that means for the next 70 days, she will advocate for popular policies antithetical to her own values, which will inevitably resurface after the election once the current façade fades away.
Six weeks after he ended his re-election campaign amid rising calls from his own party to drop out of the race, President Biden returns to the campaign trail for the first time on Monday. It will be the first of a "robust" schedule of campaign appearances by the president on behalf of Vice President Kamala Harris over the next two months, a White House official tells Fox News.
"President Biden will be leaning in heavily over the next several months to finish the job," White House communications director Ben LaBolt said.
When Denver designated itself as a sanctuary city for migrants, it likely didn’t anticipate that its hospitality would result in a Venezuelan prison gang setting up shop in one of its suburbs. The Denver City government’s choice to tolerate and encourage open borders migration has enabled the violent Tren de Aragua gang from Venezuela to make Aurora, Colorado a base of its operations. Now the gang has taken over apartment complexes and unleashed a growing wave of violent crime.
