Lifelong Republican and former Vice President
Dick Cheney breaks with GOP to back Kamala
Harris, daughter says

Original Article

Former Vice President Dick Cheney, a lifelong Republican, will vote for Kamala Harris for president, his daughter Liz Cheney said Friday. (snip) In a campaign ad for Liz Cheney as she sought a fourth term as Wyoming’s lone congressperson, Dick Cheney called Trump a “coward” for trying to “steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him.” The ad did little good for his daughter in a deep-red state that once held the Cheney family dear but is now thoroughly in Trump’s corner. By a 2-to-1 margin, Liz Cheney lost her Republican primary to Trump-endorsed attorney Harriet Hageman.

I am not and have never been a Dick Cheney hater. This report of his support of Harris, if true, is disappointing. Or is Beltway Liz just running her mouth, when her father cannot speak for himself?

Headline isn’t quite right, should say “former Republican”. Dick’s eGOP was part of the Uniparty, the party of ruling class elites and globalists seeking to rule, rather than represent citizens. So we’ve moved on. Say goodnight Dick!

I think this all about the populist right, led by Trump, who have openly and loudly rejected the administrations of GW Bush. Naturally that included Dick Cheney who was W's VP for those eight years. To my knowledge, Cheney, or Bush for that matter, have remained pretty quiet on the matter until Dick announced his decision to vote for Harris. For myself, long an admirer of Cheney, this was a deeply disappointing. I'm not much of a Trump fan. By that I mean Trump as a person. But I thought he did a pretty damn good job as our POTUS and I'll vote for him for the third time in a couple months. It's an easy decision considering who he's running against. As well as the resume he established for himself in his first go around as our President. Side note: Occasionally I watch The Five and wonder how Dana Perino is able to manage her commentary while her very pro-Trump colleagues skewer the "RINOs" of the old Republican party that included her former boss GWB Tough duty..

How do the Cheneys justify voting for someone with the record of Kamala Harris? If they are Conservatives (they aren't), a vote for Harris goes against everything they stand for. The Cheneys aren't Conservative. The description that would fit them best is globalist. Globalism is the real face of the left. They want global control and global wealth. It's all about wealth and power with these people.

George W's brother got trounced by Trump. That's not the way the old GOP did things. Jeb was an entitled Republican and Trump was an upstart intruder. Trump mocked Jeb as "Low Energy" which seemed to be effective. In general, GW and the people that surround him, including the Cheney's, despise Trump for beating Jeb and the way he did it. I liked Bush to some extent but the old guard GOP were, in general, losers, especially if the face of hard Left dems. The old Guard thought that the American People would reject the Left because of HOW they acted as compared to the "proper" GOP. Instead, the old GOP, unwilling to go bare knuckled against the dems, were getting steamrolled. The Never Trumpers STILL whine about the brash Trump and his unwillingness to bend the knee to the GOP "elite". When you see the mess that Biden/Harris and their foot soldiers have made of America and you still are willing to support them to "get even" with Trump, there is something seriously wrong with you. People like Liz Cheney were/are willing to pervert law and proper government process to "get Trump". That is seriously messed up. I saw the results that Trump achieved. I see the remade Conservative SCOTUS and many lower courts. I see the HUGE difference their Conservative decisions have made. I see an unstable and dangerous world made that way by not separating the bad from the good countries and even siding with the bad ones. I see that Trump made clear thinking decisions and alliances that pushed the bad actors into smaller and smaller boxes. All these differences between Trump and Biden/Harris are stunningly real and impactful. That MATTERS. Citizens that value America can not possibly vote for Harris and vice versa people who vote for Harris are NOT good citizens that care about this country.

In Cheney's mind, Trump was the Republican who violated the most sacred taboo within the party. He said the Iraq war was a mistake in public. This was his unforgivable sin, a heresy that demanded damnation and disconnection. Cheney built his political legacy on Operation Desert Storm, and Trump desecrated it.

Establishment Republicans don't think much of middle America, a fact they don't bother trying to hide these days. Democrats stopped pretending to be "for the little guy" decades ago. When Bush #2 was elected, he pretended to care about illegal immigration and the impact on middle America. He called Americans trying to secure our borders "vigilantes." That's what he thinks of Americans. By his second term the mask was off. He and his globalist pals weren't interested in conserving or preserving anything for middle America, his brother called illegal immigration "an act of love" and both parties neglected their duty to American families by allowing imported workers to artificially enlarge the American labor pool. Corporations got just what they wanted with suppressed wages. Obama was all for trade agreements that were harmful to our own citizens, and our interests. Remember how secretive they were? Our own elected leaders weren't allowed to know what was in them! Biden invited mass illegal immigration with no regard for our own citizens, their safety, or their right to elect their own leaders. Dems are still trying to figure out how to give his unvetted "newcomers" citizenship so they can stuff the ballot box with votes from pretend "asylum seekers". Hard to believe anyone is worried about Donald Trump being "corrupt" after the way politicians in both parties have been treating Americans.

Like so many so-called "republicans", Cheney was more aligned with the war-mongering defense contractors and those wanting to use 'diplomacy' to upend countries right to SELF DETERMINATION. Like JFK's effort to turn Central America AWAY from communism, his efforts were to place governments in the hands of wealthy 'friends' who could make a buck. He is his own man but a Bushie nonetheless and the Bushes HATE PDJT with a passion! The Bushes are one-worlder elites who want to run things from behind the scenes, and this is no surprise.

Illinois's Pritzger signs law banning
hotel mini-shampoos, to save the planet

Posted by Beardo 9/7/2024 3:25:23 PM Post Reply
In Illinois, they've figured out how to save the planet: They're snatching the mini-shampoo bottles off your sink at that pricey hotel you're staying at and making you use a big communal bottle instead. No more cute souvenirs of your travels for you. According to Illinois Policy, which appears to be a local think tank: The days are numbered for small shampoo bottles in Illinois hotels because of a new law signed by Gov. J.B. Pritzker. Hotels with more than 50 rooms are banned from providing single-use plastic bottles of shampoo, mouthwash and other toiletries starting July 1, 2025. If a hotel has less than 50 rooms, the law takes effect on Jan. 1, 2026.
Jonathan Turley Says He Thinks ‘Merchan

George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley on Friday said that Judge Juan Merchan’s decision to delay former President Donald Trump’s sentencing could be an effort to avoid boosting his campaign. Merchan had scheduled Trump’s sentencing for Sept. 18, but on Friday, he postponed the date to Nov. 26 “if necessary,” according to his order. Turley, on “America Reports,” claimed that Merchan’s rulings against Trump during his case were advantageous to his reelection bid, suggesting that maintaining the September sentencing date would have further intensified support for the former president.

Criminal defense attorney Bill Brennan said on Friday that signs point to Judge Juan Merchan postponing former President Donald Trump’s Sept. 18 sentencing date. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg recently declined to take a stance on Trump’s request to delay his sentencing date until after the November election. Brennan, who previously represented Trump, said on “CNN News Central” that Bragg’s lack of opposition to Trump’s request, along with Merchan’s language in an order delaying the original July 11 sentencing, suggests the Sept. 18 date will not be upheld.

There are many people who still do not quite fully understand and accept the role of the Intelligence Community (IC) in the manipulation of American politics. Perhaps this recent announcement by Liz Cheney and her father, Dick Cheney the former Defense Secretary, will awaken a few more. Go back to the 2016 election and the rise of outsider, then candidate Donald Trump. There was one other genuine outsider in the race, Ben Carson. Who was moved into position as Carson’s campaign manager during that well-documented “splitter strategy” effort to install the Hillary Clinton/Jeb Bush illusion of choice? Answer: Mary Cheney. Yes, the IC has a lot of ways to wrap their tentacles

He wrote a guest essay in the New York Times on Saturday, "I Swore Off Air-Conditioning, and You Can, Too," claiming that "air-conditioning is making our summers even hotter" due to climate change.

Rather than focusing on building better soldiers and leaders for warfighting, some commanders of the U.S. Army are using their time to attack conservatives and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. The Gateway Pundit spoke to Army officer Justin Williamson (a pseudonym) who reached out to the author to disclose “the highly partisan and leftist ideology that has become prevalent in the past four years.” In recent years, Williamson witnessed “the behind-the-scenes workings of political bias being exercised by senior leaders.” He said, “There are significant examples as they relate to the leadership professional development

Montana county declared the wrong winner in a race after overcounting votes. During a post-canvassing audit of the Butte-Silver Bow County primary that was held in June, election officials suspected an overcount of more than 1,000 ballots, prompting a judge to order a recount. The recount discovered that 1,131 more votes were counted than voters who voted. Data shows a very similar number of votes in each precinct was overcounted. Election officials are not entirely sure what happened, though Butte-Silver Bow County Clerk and Recorder Linda Sajor-Joyce told leaders she believes the extra ballots were from sample data that had not been cleared from the software by Election Day, according to KTVH.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday that people should judge for themselves if Russian President Vladimir Putin was teasing, trolling, or being entirely serious when he said he would prefer Kamala Harris as U.S. president over Donald Trump. Putin expressed a preference for Harris while he was attending the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok on Thursday. “I told you our favorite, if you can call it that, was the current President Mr. Biden. He was removed from the race, but he recommended all his supporters to support Ms. Harris. So we will do the same. We will support her,” Putin said.

In Illinois, they've figured out how to save the planet: They're snatching the mini-shampoo bottles off your sink at that pricey hotel you're staying at and making you use a big communal bottle instead. No more cute souvenirs of your travels for you. According to Illinois Policy, which appears to be a local think tank: The days are numbered for small shampoo bottles in Illinois hotels because of a new law signed by Gov. J.B. Pritzker. Hotels with more than 50 rooms are banned from providing single-use plastic bottles of shampoo, mouthwash and other toiletries starting July 1, 2025. If a hotel has less than 50 rooms, the law takes effect on Jan. 1, 2026.

One of the things that is just so infuriating is when you look at the way Democrats and Republicans are treated in the media, in particular, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris versus former President Donald Trump. They are constantly telling lies and repeating hoaxes about Trump, yet the media not only doesn't call them out on it, they repeat it and spread the hoaxes without question. Then they say Trump lies. It's a constant propaganda war machine to indoctrinate the public. The good thing is now, with the rise
