C-SPAN Caller Praises Trump's Would-Be Assassins
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 9/18/2024 11:51:52 PM
C-SPAN is a useful tool for me in my day job, as I record Congressional hearings to write about. However, I never really watch its "Washington Journal" show. The show invites viewers to call in to give their takes on current events, and one particular little snippet is circulating on X: [Tweet, video] In the clip, an old man named Willie, an apparent Louisiana Democrat and Vietnam War veteran, calls into the show and says, "I just want to say I am a very patriotic American. I did twenty years in the military, two tours in Vietnam, wounded in 1966, went back in '68.

A new car safety study has proven that electric vehicles (EVs) are too heavy to be restrained by guardrails that line roads in case of accidents, researchers at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln said.
As the amount of EVs such as Teslas and Chevrolet Bolts take over the roads amid concerns over the environmental impact of gasoline-powered vehicles, one of the lead researchers from the university’s Midwest Roadside Safety Facility (MwRSF) warned that there needs to be “some urgency to address this issue.”
In a study sponsored by the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) and partnered with Auburn University’s Transportation Research Institute, MwRSF conducted a “first-of-its-kind crash test”
California Governor Gavin Newsom threatened legal action against Elon Musk for sharing a funny meme on X.
Newsom this week signed into law a bill that makes it illegal to ‘knowingly distribute an ad or other election communications that contain materially deceptive content, including deepfakes.’
Who determines what is ‘materially deceptive?” Gavin Newsom?
Of course, this law will only be used to criminally charge Trump supporters for exercising their First Amendment rights.
Dozens of Left-Wing Immigration Groups

'Trust Harris' to Abandon 'Harmful' Border
Pledge If She Wins 3 replies
Is there any doubt? Meaning, is there any doubt that if Kamala Harris wins the presidential election, she'll flip-flop right back to her previous position on the free flow of illegal aliens into the country? No. Which is exactly what dozens of left-wing immigration groups and other progressive groups are betting on.
The groups, which are backing Harris' efforts to beat former President Donald Trump, plan to pressure the San Francisco radical if she wins in November to abandon the recent, bipartisan border security bill she promised to sign if elected, according to sources who spoke to Axios.
The groups referred to that bill as "harmful"
On Wednesday, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) voted overwhelmingly with a vote of 124-14 to strip away Israel's right to self-defense in the region, calling for the IDF to withdraw to pre-1967 territory lines. Forty-three countries abstained. Especially given that there is no mention of the October 7 terrorist attack against Israel perpetrated by Hamas, the vote was a particularly egregious one from the anti-Israel body.
The resolution was not only supported by 124 members, but by the body's Secretary-General. As the Jerusalem Post reported:
We're just 47 days away from Election Day and talk about who would fill the Cabinet for either President Donald Trump or President Kamala Harris is heating up.
During an interview this week, former Secretary of State and twice failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton hinted at a comeback should Harris win. She's making herself readily available in an "unofficial" capacity during the final weeks of the election. [Tweet, video]
Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump plans to put Elon Musk and RFK Jr. is his Cabinet, or other high profile and powerful federal government positions, should he be victorious in November.
As Leah reported last week, former President Donald Trump sent Americans to tears after a heartfelt moment between him and a New York boy, Liam, who suffers from a rare brain disorder and growth hormone deficiency.
Trump wrote a letter to Liam, wishing him a happy 8th birthday, which brought the boy to tears as he read the note out loud.
Following his sweet reaction to Trump’s letter, Liam received the ultimate birthday gift from the former president during his New York rally on Wednesday night.
Liam’s family was invited to Trump’s rally as VIP guests where they got the chance to meet the 45th president himself.
CNN sent a reporter down to Panama City, Fla., to cover the MAGA boat parade on Thursday. Reporter Elle Reeve talked about the issues parade-goers were concerned with in this election, and one shirtless Trump supporter gave Reeve an epic reality check about the struggles Americans face under the Biden-Harris administration.
When Reeve asked, “What’s your most important issue?” the shirtless Trump supporter, drink in hand, didn’t hesitate.
“The economy,” he replied. “Getting the interest rates down. Getting it where we can afford to live in America. Right now, it’s too expensive.”
This is a straightforward, common-sense concern.
If you gave Kamala Harris a fire hydrant, a fire hose, one of those hydrant wrenches, and instructions to fill the little blue kiddie pool in your front yard, she couldn't get enough water in that thing to make a tissue damp. At least that's my takeaway after FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr's scorching congressional review of Harris's oversight of Joe Biden's multibillion-dollar plan to wire rural homes with high-speed internet.
"In 2021, Vice President Harris agreed to lead a $42 billion effort to expand internet access to millions. It's been 1,039 days, and no one has been connected—no homes, no businesses, not even a shovel in the ground."
Democrats love to call Donald Trump a “threat to democracy.” Ask one what they think of the former President and they’ll belch it out. Ask what time it is and there’s least and 80 percent chance they’ll tell you it’s “Threat to democracy o’clock.” I’d say it’s Pavlovian, but that would be an insult to dogs that were trained to behave a certain way by comparing them people who simply obey for its own sake. The reality is, however, that the true threat to democracy – and your life and liberty – is Democrats, all of them.
As of this writing, Democrats have inspired two assassination attempts against Donald Trump. Two.
SPRINGFIELD, Ohio — In the early hours of December 1, 2023, at around 5:40 a.m., a Haitian national ran down 71-year-old Kathy Lynn Heaton, a Springfield grandmother known affectionately as "Mawmaw" by her beloved, in the quaint Midwestern community. The collision killed her, but the driver got off scot-free.
It was the morning after her 71st birthday, and Heaton, "a like-to-keep-busy kind of woman," was collecting trash cans outside her century-old home on Springfield-Xenia Road, a chore she's performed thousands of times for forty years.
That was when 38-year-old Robenson Louis, driving a 2012 Chrysler 200 at 45 mph, hit Heaton with so much blunt force
Former President Donald Trump has pledged to visit Springfield, Ohio, “in the next two weeks” after claims of whether Haitians are eating people’s pets have been widely debated.
“You may never see me again, but that's OK, gotta do what I gotta do,” Trump joked. "'Whatever happened to Trump?! Well, he never got outta Springfield.'" [Tweet, video]
Springfield Mayor Rob Rue, a Republican, said he would be “fine” with presidential candidates from either party not visiting the Ohio town, claiming it would be a financial burden on the city.
“It would be an extreme strain on our resources," he said.
Over the course of two days, Hezbollah terrorists have been blown up when it comes to pagers and walkie-talkies exploding, with Hezbollah blaming Israel. Earlier on Thursday, Israel also reportedly struck Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. For all of the complaining from the usual suspects, including members of the anti-Israel Squad and the White House press corps, the attacks got the job done in taking out or at least seriously injuring terrorists. But what about the Biden-Harris administration? CNN's Scott Jennings offered some quick but nevertheless telling thoughts about that on Tuesday night.

Marking Only 2nd Presidential Endorsement

In a historic move, Scientific American magazine has endorsed Democrat Vice President Kamala Harris for president — after having made its then-sole exception by endorsing Joe Biden in 2020 — citing science, healthcare, abortion, gun rights, technology, and climate action as key reasons.
On Monday, Scientific American, one of the oldest and most respected science publications in the U.S., made headlines by endorsing Kamala Harris for president. “Vote for Kamala Harris to Support Science, Health and the Environment,” the publication advocated.
So-called shock jock Howard Stern declared on Monday that he doesn’t “hate” former President Trump, but he hates the “stupid” people who vote for him.
Then again, with a net worth of $650 million and his 5-year deal with Sirius, estimated to be worth as much as $100 million a year, set to expire at the end of this year, Stern understands that at the age of 70, his schtick has run its course and he doesn’t have to worry about turning off half the nation.

Israel is suspected of remotely detonating thousands of walkie-talkie radios and other devices in a second wave of attacks targeting Hezbollah.
At least three people were killed in the east of Lebanon and more than 100 were wounded in the new explosions in southern Beirut, a Hezbollah stronghold, on Wednesday, Lebanon’s health ministry said.
Witnesses and Hezbollah officials said the explosions were as a result of the group’s walkie-talkies as well as motorbike radios and security locks blowing up across Lebanon. Sources told Lebanese news outlet L’Orient Today that devices were detonated inside cars, residential apartments and shops.
Is Kamala Harris drunk?
Kamala Harris on Tuesday participated in a Q&A with the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) in Philadelphia.
Of course, the moderators at the NABJ treated Kamala Harris much better than President Trump when he participated in a Q&A with them in Chicago in July.
Harris heavily slurred during a bizarre 5-minute rant about total nonsense on Tuesday.
Is she inebriated? Rumors are swirling about Kamala Harris having a serious drinking problem.
Israel blew up thousands of two-way personal radios used by Hezbollah members in Lebanon in a second wave of an intelligence operation that started on Tuesday with the explosions of pager devices, two sources with knowledge of the operation told Axios. [snip] The Walkie Talkies were booby-trapped in advance by Israeli intelligence services and then delivered to Hezbollah as part of the militia's emergency communications system, which was supposed to be used during a war with Israel, the sources said.
HARARE, Zimbabwe — Zimbabwe and Namibia have announced plans to slaughter hundreds of wild elephants and other animals to feed hunger-stricken residents amid severe drought conditions in the southern African countries.
Zimbabwe said Monday it would allow the killing of 200 elephants so that their meat can be distributed among needy communities, while in Namibia the killing of more than 700 wild animals — including 83 elephants — is under way as part of a plan announced three weeks ago.
Tinashe Farawo, a spokesman for the Zimbabwe National Parks and Wildlife Management Authority, said permits would be issued in needy communities to hunt elephants
Hillary Clinton forcefully argued that Vice President Kamala Harris didn't need to clarify her policy positions in interviews and said that the 2024 Democratic candidate was facing a "double standard" from voters and the media.
"She does not have to do it, Kara. I'm going to just cut to the chase," Clinton told journalist and podcast host Kara Swisher on the "On with Kara Swisher" podcast this week.
"In fact, she's put out policies on her campaign website. Anybody who's truly interested can go and read about them. She referenced policies. She actually doesn't just have policies and concepts. She has plans about what to do," Clinton said,
Over a quarter of Democrats think the U.S. would be better off if former President Donald Trump had been successfully assassinated on Sunday, according to a Napolitan News Service poll released Wednesday. Among those surveyed, 28% of Democrats and 27% of Democrat-leaning voters answered “yes” to the question asking if they thought the U.S. would be better off if Trump had been assassinated, with 17% of all respondents agreeing and only 7% of Republicans, according to the poll.

WASHINGTON — Until recently, Lillian Dunsmuir of Bullhead City, Arizona, “didn’t really think about” Kamala Harris and had no opinion of the vice president. But now she likes what she’s seeing.
“She’s funny. I think she’s very smart. She can speak well,” said Dunsmuir, a 58-year-old real estate agent. “I would feel safe with her because I think she can handle herself with foreign leaders. I like her because she’s for pro-choice, and so am I.”
Voters view Harris slightly more favorably than they did in July, just after President Joe Biden dropped out

Gas powered stoves in California could now come with a health warning label similar to what you'd find on a pack of cigarettes or other tobacco products, according to a new proposed law in the state. California lawmakers passed a bill at the end of August that would make it illegal to sell a gas stove that is manufactured or sold online on or after Jan. 1, 2025, or sold in a store, "unless the gas stove bears an adhesive label attached in a conspicuous location," according to the text of the bill. Gov. Gavin Newsom has until the end of September to sign the bill into law.
The unconventional Harris-Walz affinity group for white male supporters, “White Dudes for Harris,” is out with a new ad urging its target demographic to support the Democratic campaign because they’re “actually talking to guys like us.”
The spot, which is part of a more than $10 million ad buy that will run in several key swing states, begins with a tough-guy narrator acknowledging that “white dudes” are “pretty sick of hearing how much we suck every time you go online.”
But the 60-second ad then claims that “some white dudes” are in fact the problem, pointing to “Trump and all his MAGA buddies.”
