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.

The Kamala Harris Campaign Is Collapsing
13 replies
The Kamala Harris campaign is collapsing across the board. That was the case even before the horrific news from San Francisco.
That news is that the first-round draft choice of the San Francisco 49ers was just shot in broad daylight in a “safe” and “upscale” section of San Francisco. As the initial information about that shocking crime filtered out, I heard from three political operatives that this would reflect very badly on Kamala Harris. Their immediate reasoning is that former President Donald J. Trump and his campaign have very effectively tied “Comrade Kamala” to the increasing failures of crime and drug-infested San Francisco and California.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said this week that the president of Mexico and Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris are in cahoots to flood the U.S. with as many illegal aliens as possible to shift America’s politics dramatically to the Left.
Cruz made the remarks during his “Verdict” podcast with co-host Ben Ferguson while talking about the vice president’s disastrous policies which have wreaked havoc on the southern border — and on communities across the U.S. that have had to deal with the explosion in crime and weight of having to provide for millions of illegal aliens.
“Kamala Harris wants more illegal immigrants in America,” Cruz said.

Tour Will Be a Non-Starter for Black Religious Southerners 8 replies
Vice President and selected Democrat nominee Kamala Harris, her running mate MN Gov. Tim Walz, and her campaign surrogates will launch a bus tour on Tuesday to the battleground and Southern states. The theme? "Fighting for Reproductive Freedom." I have stated before that the only job where Harris has been effective is advocating for the killing of babies in the womb. This new messaging incorporates IVF and some of their other aims to reflect Democrats are "pro-family," but abortion is still the main event. Lipstick on a pig can be a different color or shade, but at the end of the day, it's still a pig.
Our old colleague Kristine Parks at FoxNews.com notes the new movie Reagan, starring Dennis Quaid, is strongly liked by audiences with a 97 percent audience score on the site Rotten Tomatoes. But the critics are liberals, and among them, it only had a 26 percent score.
Compare that to the 2016 movie Southside with You, a biopic which gushed over young Barack and Michelle Obama. Both were positive movies, but the Obama film received rave reviews and a 91 percent score by critics (71 percent audience).
Christian Toto told Fox News: "Film critics, by and large, lean relentlessly to the left, and they let that flavor their reviews.

Earlier Monday Kamala Harris busted out a new bizarre urban accent as she spoke with voters in Detroit.
“Ya betta thank a union memba for sick leave! You betta thank a union memba for paid leave! You betta thank a union memba for vacation time!” Kamala Harris shouted.
This is some of the worst pandering we have ever seen from Kamala Harris. Watch: (X Video) After pandering to voters in Detroit, Kamala Harris flew to Pittsburgh to campaign with Joe Biden.
Hamas terrorists filmed the six Israeli hostages before executing them last week — a gruesome reminder of the tactics of psychological warfare once used by ISIS.
The Jerusalem Post reported:
Hamas has released a video on Telegram on Monday showing the six recently slain hostages speaking into a camera, while also announcing that it will release their “last message to the world” before they were killed.
In the video, all six hostages whose bodies were found by the IDF [Israel Defense Forces] on Sunday are seen confirming their identities before cutting to a still frame threatening to release their “last messages.”
New Walls to Tear Down
5 replies
The movie Reagan just opened. It’s wonderful, and the scene where he calls for Mr. Gorbachev to “Tear down this wall!” is amazing.
Entertaining, heartwarming, and nostalgic are words that come to mind. A man of faith who loved America, Ronald Reagan’s historic persona is a president who reached across the aisle and struck chords that resonated with Democrats and Republicans alike — hence the phrase “Reagan Democrats.”
Did Reagan believe in American exceptionalism? Perhaps, but his actions on the world stage to combat the Soviet Union’s desire to smother the world under communism made clear that if he did, he saw America’s exceptional nature not as privilege,

over Gaza and hostages: ‘No one will

Tel Aviv, Israel— Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday pushed back against a new wave of pressure to reach a cease-fire deal in Gaza after hundreds of thousands of Israelis protested and went on strike and U.S. President Joe Biden said he needed to do more after nearly 11 months of fighting.
In his first public address since Sunday’s mass protests showed many Israelis’ furious response to the discovery of six more dead hostages, Netanyahu said he will continue to insist on a demand that has emerged as a major sticking point in talks — continued Israeli control of the Philadelphi corridor, a narrow band along Gaza’s border with Egypt

Motorcade Involved in Crash En Route to
Milwaukee Event 7 replies
A serious accident occurred earlier today involving multiple vehicles in Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s motorcade as they were en route to a Labor Day event in Milwaukee.
The incident, reported by the Daily Mail, happened just after 12:57 p.m.
Eyewitnesses described a chaotic scene as the vehicles, part of a convoy escorting Governor Walz, collided with each other, leading to significant damage.
A press van within the motorcade bore the brunt of the impact, with one staff member reportedly suffering a broken arm.
The Angel Family of Rachel Morin, the 37-year-old mother of five who was murdered allegedly by an illegal alien MS-13 gang member, says President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have lacked compassion throughout the tragedy.
“The Morin family is deeply disappointed by the lack of acknowledgment and compassion from President Biden and his administration,” the Angel Family’s attorney Randolph Rice said in a statement: The silence is deafening, and it sends a troubling message that the safety and well-being of American citizens are not a priority. This lack of concern serves as a reminder of the apparent disregard by the Biden administration for the victims of preventable crimes
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)

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
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.
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.

Hamas has now basically admitted it killed those six hostages rather than risk their liberation — indeed, all but boasted of it.

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.
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,

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.
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.
Former President Donald Trump is exploring the possibility of giving Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, a significant role in his next administration auditing federal agencies. The idea aims to reduce unnecessary regulations and improve operational efficiency. Trump described Musk as a “very smart guy” and praised his capabilities in streamlining business operations.
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.
