Zelensky Said What About JD Vance While
in Pennsylvania?!
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 9/24/2024 2:29:46 AM
As a key swing state and with there being just over six weeks to go until Election Day, Pennsylvania has found itself in the news quite a bit lately. It's likely to stay that way. On Sunday, Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro and his wife, Lori, were there to meet Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky when he landed in Scranton. Zelensky also met with other Pennsylvania Democrats too, like Sen. Bob Casey, Jr. and Rep. Matt Cartwright. Not only that, but Zelensky also made remarks about Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), the running mate for former and potentially future President Donald Trump. Greg Price shared a photo of Zelensky touring an ammunition factory,

One persistent theme coming from the Democrats is that Trump, if elected a second time, would become a dictator and end democracy. For eight years, critics have called Trump an autocrat and likened him to the despised autocrats of the twentieth century, from Mussolini to Hitler. This rhetorical extremism is odd: Reagan and Bush were despised by Democrats, but they were not generally portrayed as threats to democracy. Nor have these accusations gone away; if anything, they are more intense now than in 2015 when they first surfaced.
It is one thing to say that Trump will do this, and will do that,
Rep. Stacey Plaskett, a Democrat who represents the at-large congressional district of the Virgin Islands, went on an unhinged rant at a House hearing Wednesday, held by the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, where she called Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) her "white male counterpart," Elon Musk "a far-right conspiracy theorist," and former President Donald Trump "would-be Führer."
Plaskett, a ranking member of the select subcommittee, said the purpose of the investigative body is to "test out conspiracy theories, prop up those stories that the far-right wishes to push into the American psyche, and to lay the groundwork for a dictatorial government led by Donald Trump."
As we've been covering, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky traveled to Pennsylvania this week on the taxpayer's dime where he hobnobbed with Democratic politicians in the commonwealth and even criticized the Trump-Vance ticket. According to Zelensky, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) "is too radical." On Wednesday, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, and Assistant to the President and White House Counsel Edward Siskel seeking documents about any government resources used for the visit.
Concerns about the visit go beyond this week, though.
A U.S. Senate committee’s report on Secret Service failures around the first Trump assassination attempt reveals that the Secret Service found out about Thomas Crooks’ suspicious behavior almost half an hour before he shot the president and killed another man.
The injuries of Donald Trump and multiple rally attendees and the death of Corey Comperatore could all have been prevented had the Secret Service taken the report of a “suspicious person with a rangefinder around the AGR building approximately 27 minutes before the shooting” seriously, the bipartisan report demonstrates. The incompetence, whether deliberate or accidental, of the Secret Service cost a life and changed American politics.
The USNS Abraham Lincoln strike group, currently in the Middle East, is without any means of refueling after the oil tanker USNS Big Horn ran aground off the coast of Oman. The Big Horn is the only tanker in the entire Middle East, and the Navy is currently scrambling to come up with a replacement.
Should I mention that our most important ally in the Middle East might be at war with Iran in a few hours? [Tweet, video]
“USNS Big Horn sustained damage while operating at sea in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations overnight on Sept. 23.
The Haitian Bridge Alliance, a small non-profit Haitian immigrant rights group in Springfield, Ohio, has filed "citizen criminal charges" against Donald Trump and JD Vance.
The national media is taking this extremely silly form of lawfare seriously.
What "crimes" have Trump and Vance committed? The Republican presidential campaign ticket is "charged with disrupting public services, making false alarms, telecommunications harassment, aggravated menacing and complicity."
Trump and Vance did all that? I never knew.
Fifteen thousand newcomers have descended on a small city, overwhelming the medical and educational resources of Springfield. It's a bitter irony to accuse Trump and Vance of what the Haitian immigrants are actually doing.
Michael Cohen, a former personal attorney for Donald Trump, said Monday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that if former President Donald Trump wins the election, he will leave the country under a different name.
Host Nicolle Wallace said, “What do you think happens to you if he wins?”
Cohen said, “I’m out of here. I’m already working on a foreign passport with a completely different name. I don’t know how it is going to work as far as dealing with my wife and my children. I certainly don’t want them moving to where I’m looking to go.”
He added, “I don’t think you or the president of the MSNBC, General Milley, Liz Cheney are safe.
West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin has announced he will not be endorsing Kamala Harris over her pledge to gut the Senate filibuster.
In an interview with CNN, Manchin said Harris’s plan to remove the filibuster to legislate in favor of abortion rights would undermine democracy in America.
“Shame on her,” Manchin said. “She knows the filibuster is the Holy Grail of democracy. It’s the only thing that keeps us talking and working together. If she gets rid of that, then this would be the House on steroids.”
“That ain’t going to happen,” he added on the mention of his endorsing Harris for president. “I think that basically can destroy our country,
One of the most interesting reactions to the first assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump was from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
He said things that were clearly off the liberal reservation, including saying Trump standing up and pumping his fist in the air after getting shot in the face was "badass." [Tweet, video]
I thought that showed an interesting evolution, although I also wondered if he was just covering his butt, given that Trump may very well be coming into office and maybe he wanted to get on his good side.
We haven't heard a whole lot from former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) since her calculated plan to force President Joe Biden out of the presidential race bore fruit in late July with Biden ceding the nomination to his vice president, Kamala Harris.
But when we have, it's been the usual spew of fruit cakery, as we saw during her late August appearance on Bill Maher's program, where Pelosi had the nerve to invoke Ronald Reagan's legacy while trying to defend California's dangerous open borders priorities and policies.
Then there was the "interview" she did with late-night talk show host Stephen Colbert,
Sometimes even the leftist cable news channel CNN has to admit when a Democrat is so disingenuous that they try to sell themselves as a type of person despite years of history of showing otherwise. Such is the case now, as Kamala Harris keeps trying to convince voters of a laughable narrative, namely that she's tough on the border. She's run ludicrous ads and made claims about her deep commitment to securing the southern boundary, and now she's planning on going down there Friday. To do what, exactly?
RedState's Nick Arama points out that the "Border Czar" has had plenty of opportunities in the past to address the problem:
Last Friday, as we covered at the time, the House unanimously passed a bill from Reps. Mike Lawler (R-NY) and Ritchie Torres (D-NY) to offer nominees for president and vice president the same U.S. Secret service protection as the sitting president and vice president. The Senate did so on Tuesday by unanimous consent in a move offered by Sens. Rick Scott (R-FL) and Tim Scott (R-SC).
Fox News' Chad Pergram noted the bill goes to President Joe Biden's desk to sign. [Tweet]
"We all know why this legislation is needed:

The View is set to make history on Wednesday. The ladies will welcome the first-ever sitting president to the show for a live interview when Joe Biden appears later this week. Whoopi Goldberg first announced the news during today’s broadcast. “We have some wonderful news,” she began. “You want me to tell you? I have a historic announcement: This Wednesday, we are honored to have the sitting President of the United States Joe Biden, [who] will be live on The View with us.”Her announcement was met with whoops and cheers in the audience, and Goldberg was sure to add, “Let us not forget, he is still President

Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that former President Donald Trump should be extinguished from politics, which she clarified meant “vote him out.”
Raimondo said, “Tax policy, you have to work with Congress but if he decides he wants to do something crazy, like a 200% tariff, which will hurt Americans, raise prices and lose jobs, he could do it as president. Which is why honestly why I’m here in my personal capacity. The stakes are so high in this one. We cannot afford to put him back in the White House.”
In what’s likely his final speech to the United Nations General Assembly, President Biden said on Tuesday that he thinks “every day” about the 13 Americans who died in a suicide bombing at Kabul’s airport — as Secretary of State Antony Blinken faces a possible House panel contempt vote later in the day.
“Thirteen brave Americans lost their lives, along with hundreds of Afghans in a suicide bomb. I think [of] those lost lives — I think [of] them every day,” said Biden, 81, stumbling over his script.
Biden called his August 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan “a hard decision, but the right decision” during the lengthy speech,

"Zero Dark Thirty" was a pretty solid movie. I liked it because the producers and director didn’t sugarcoat the way that CIA operatives treated terrorists. Terrorists deserved their fate. The composite protagonist “Maya” was a CIA analyst who worked tirelessly to bring justice down on Osama Bin Laden — AKA a bullet to the brain.
After Maya had fingered where Bin Laden was, she met with Leon Panetta, the then-head of the CIA. Panetta was portrayed by James Gandolfini. I don’t object to artistic license when actors portray real people, but Gandolfini was a big man: 6’1” and intimidating. He looked intimidating just standing still. Panetta,
Does the United States of America have a functioning president right now? That question isn’t meant to be provocative. Members of both major parties have noted that President Joe Biden seems to have gone AWOL from his official duties as the nation’s executive in chief. A large chunk of voters agree, saying they want Biden to leave office right away.
In August’s I&I/TIPP Poll of 1,488 registered voters, taken from July 31-Aug. 2, shortly after the Democratic Party forced Biden to step down as his party’s candidate, we asked voters the following question: “Which of the following do you believe is in the best interest of the country?” \

Let’s skip ahead to after the election. No matter who wins, the next president will declare that they have a “mandate” to do something. And they will be wrong.
The whole canard that a newly elected president is for some reason entitled to have their way is an invention. The word “mandate” doesn’t appear in the Constitution or the Federalist Papers.
The myth can be traced to Andrew Jackson. (Snip) [T]he core problem with mandate-mania is this: Presidential electoral majorities never speak with one voice in favor of a policy platform.
In a heavily coordinated and strategic political visit to Pennsylvania, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky was essentially campaigning for Kamala Harris and a continuation of the Biden foreign policy which provides billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to Ukraine. [AP Article Here]
Any non-pretending political pundit can see the transparency of the Zelensky visit to an ammunition factory in Pennsylvania when timed in context against the 2024 presidential campaign, with an overlay of Zelensky’s comments about how a Trump-Vance victory would be detrimental to the interests of the Ukranian government.
We are the non-pretending audience that doesn’t need to have the points of continual similarity pointed out. However, there is something rather remarkable about those in Washington DC who never seem to be able to connect the same proverbial dots. In the latest development of attempted President Trump assassin Ryan Routh, the Dept of Homeland Security and FBI are now admitting that Routh was on a watch list of Americans who traveled to fight with Ukraine. The people on the watch list were supposed to be scrutinized and tracked when they reentered the USA. However, Ryan Routh, “fell through the cracks,”

in Visa Stock Weeks Before DOJ’s Antitrust Lawsuit 22 replies
Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi, dumped over $500,000 worth of Visa stock just weeks before the Department of Justice slapped the financial giant with an antitrust lawsuit, according to the New York Post.
The timing couldn’t be more suspect. Visa, one of the most dominant players in the debit card market, is now facing charges of monopolizing the industry.
The DOJ’s antitrust unit claims Visa has abused its market power, forcing financial tech companies to work with them while penalizing those who try to go with competitors.
According to the press release: According to the complaint, more than 60% of debit transactions in the United States run on Visa’s debit network,
SPRINGFIELD, Ohio, WJW-TV [Cleveland, OH] - In the state of Ohio, private citizens have the ability to legally file criminal charges. Tuesday, a Haitian nonprofit called Haitian Bridge Alliance did just that, bringing criminal charges against former President Donald Trump and Ohio Sen. JD Vance [Snip] The bench memorandum and supporting affidavit filed at Clark County Municipal Court comes following unfounded claims from both men regarding the large immigrant population in Springfield, Ohio. The attorney for the organization says there is probable cause the two committed crimes and they want a judge to affirm that, file charges and issue arrest warrants for both men.
An emotional President Joe Biden dabbed away tears Monday evening before he applauded Bill and Hillary Clinton for their uncommon “decency” then cooed “I love you” to the former first lady for publicly defending him.
The octogenarian was attending the Clinton Global Initiative’s summit but was not listed to speak before the elite gathering. The New York Post (NYP) reports he appeared there in support of Jill Biden before being called to the stage himself to accept a Global Citizen award. “This is what you call being trapped,” Biden declared before thanking the former first couple for their support.
