Woodward’s War: Deeply Damning, But
Not to Trump
Posted By: DW626, 10/31/2024 1:05:39 PM
Bob Woodward, a past master at the art of marketing bestsellers by reflecting the Democrat zeitgeist, tries his best in his latest offering, War, to put a good face on Biden-Harris incompetence in the Afghanistan, Ukraine, and Israel conflicts. Although Donald Trump was not a government actor during these events, War inserts vignettes purporting, unsuccessfully, to contrast Trump’s unfitness with Biden’s putative steadiness. Woodward tries but fails to claim that it is Trump’s alleged instability that threatens our fragile world, and not the ineptitude of the senile, perpetually unintelligent Biden. But to his great credit, the dogged reporter in Woodward overcomes the mediocre polemicist.

The short answer to that question comes from George Orwell: “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.” Packed into that pithy aphorism is the explanation of the bitter struggle centering on the person of President Donald J. Trump.
The dirty little secret of American history is that a largely left-leaning establishment has dominated our politics since 1932 and thereby framed our understanding of the past and goals for the future. Only two Republican presidents have held temporary majorities in both houses of Congress since then: Dwight D. Eisenhower and George W. Bush. Neither made a dent in the establishment’s control.

Kama-lama-ding-dong’s got the blues. This was supposed to be her time. This was supposed to be her rise. She was supposed to make her-story. Instead, Kam-Kam’s on her way to an Election Night drubbing, a week-long bender, and a few months of solitude in celebrity rehab. She should take Hillary Clinton along, too. A period of detox and sobriety could do both some good. And the American people would benefit from their prolonged absence from television news.
America will one day have a female president. She will be smart, articulate, prudent, and brave.
I’ve long found it peculiar that, way back in the 1990s, Tim Walz was taking the lead in promoting the new “Gay-Straight Alliance” club at the school where he worked. Usually, that’s something an openly gay teacher would do. However, when it’s an ostensibly straight teacher, my radar pings.
But my pinging radar means nothing. What may also mean nothing is that two citizen journalists are alleging that they’ve found young men speaking anonymously about the fact that Walz groomed them while they were under his aegis in high school.
How Do You Solve a Problem Like Kamala?

Pop quiz, hotshot: You just stole the Democrats’ presidential nomination from a dementia-addled nursing home patient without receiving a single vote from the electorate and while having the lowest approval rating of any modern veep. Despite the nonstop efforts of corporate news propagandists to anoint you as a deserving heir, Americans rightly see you as a fake, foolish, insecure, insignificant, boozy, Canadian flop who has no business being behind the wheel of an automobile, let alone taking charge of a nuclear arsenal as commander-in-chief.
In the lead-up to and during Barack Obama’s presidency, we were relentlessly told that Barack Obama was a racial healer and a man of unusual, almost James Bondian suave sophistication. Both were lies. Barack Obama has always been a race hustler and a crude, low-thinking person. Both traits appeared during campaign appearances he made yesterday on Kamala’s behalf, where he made a vulgar crack about Donald Trump and shamed young black men for voting for their interests rather than their skin color.
Not your day, Glock lady

In the movie Eight Men Out, the story of the White Sox who threw the Series, we remember a scene where the manager Kid Gleason goes to the mound to pull the pitcher, Lefty Williams. He looks at the pitcher and said something like "Not your day, Lefty."
My guess is that people who watched CBS last night came to a similar conclusion: "Not your day, Kam." It's hard to believe that any voter can vote for this lady, unless your hatred of Trump is all-consuming or unconditional abortion is the only thing that matters to you.
It's obvious that VP Harris does not understand how corporate taxes work
After impregnating his children's nanny, and getting accused of slapping a girlfriend so hard she "spun around," Kamala Harris's hubby, Doug Emhoff, has now been accused of being his company's office 'a******," a foul-mouthed bully who treated the women he worked with like dirt.
So much for that mild-mannered milquetoast persona he presents to MSNBC.
According to the Daily Mail: Kamala Harris's husband was 'inappropriate' and 'misogynistic' at work, his former colleagues tell DailyMail.com.
Attorneys who worked with Doug Emhoff at his former firm Venable say he yelled expletives, held a men-only cocktail hour in the office, revoked work perks from women who didn't flirt with him
Kamala Harris is good for nothing
15 replies
Kamala is a good-for-nothing on at least three levels.
First: she is literally “good for nothing.”
Her career is littered with failures. Even a distinguished black journalist dared to observe, at great professional peril, her “failing up” the career ladder. Craig J. DeLuz, writing for the Washington Times, bravely concedes that, “An elected official with a track record of failure spanning her entire political career, Harris has consistently been rewarded with promotions by left-leaning voters.”
Among her many inadequacies, Mr. DeLuz notes that Kamala was the most left-leaning member of the Senate, all the while achieving the following – nothing.
Kamala Harris and the ‘Fair Share’
13 replies
A PAC supporting Kamala Harris runs an ad that features Harris making the following impassioned statement, “We are helping dig families out of debt by telling billionaires to pay their fair share!” The commercial presents this exclamation as Harris’ “reason for running” for office, but does not explain what it means. Some of the audience tries to guess what this statement means while Harris’ supporters do not care and will vote for her regardless of what she says. Those who care to understand must speculate for an explanation. To whom will “billionaires” pay this undefined “fair share?” We can guess that she is talking about paying taxes.
About a week after Hurricane Helene first made landfall in the Southeast, Kamala Harris took a break from her fundraising events and staged photo ops at the border to travel to Georgia to address the federal government’s response to the storm that ravaged the people of the South. Lost everything to Hurricane Helene? You may be eligible for a one-time $750 payment for the basics. After that, you’re on your own. (As a reminder, after the fire in Lahaina, Maui residents received only $700.)
I seem to vaguely remember a phrase coined by a high-profile Democrat…now what was it? Oh that’s right, “insulting crumbs.”
There’s nothing like having your life flash before your eyes to bring clarity and, as people watch Harris and Biden in action, that clarity is bringing real fear. One of those people facing that fear is Gordon Sondland, the former U.S. Ambassador to the European Union during the Trump administration, who testified during Trump’s Ukraine impeachment and disavowed him after January 6. Despite Sondland’s deep dislike for Trump, he fears Harris more.

CBS News anchor Norah O’Donnell accused former President Donald Trump “and his supporters” of not giving President Joe Biden “grace” over his “garbage” remarks.
O’Donnell referred to how Trump rode on a garbage truck to his rally in Wisconsin a day after Biden described Trump voters as being “garbage.” “Former President Donald Trump was in North Carolina earlier, and tonight he’s also in Wisconsin,” O’Donnell. “He landed in Green Bay just a short time ago, and pulled, then, this campaign stunt, speaking to reporters from a garbage truck, proof that he and his supporters are giving no grace to a gaffe by President Biden, where he in his explanation, inadvertently
Actress Rosie O'Donnell has claimed she is on the verge of taking pills as she continues to worry that former President Donald Trump will beat Vice President Kamala Harris in this year's presidential election. [SNIP] She also expressed her concerns about Russian infiltration in the election, and claimed Trump would try to claim there was voter fraud if he loses.
'I'm, let's say on a scale of 10 being "Can't think of anything else and may need some additional medication," I'm like a seven,' O'Donnell admitted at the beginning of her video.
Boards are going up in Washington, DC, less than a week from the election, at it seems some businesses are anticipating riots on election night.
Andrew Leyden, a freelance photographer in DC, said he caught wind that some in DC were beginning the process of boarding up, so he decided to check it out himself. Indeed, he found that the back entrance of the Post Office near the White House has been covered with plywood boards, and workers are currently boarding up the front side of the office as well.
The McDonald’s next to the White House also has plywood going up over the building,
An ad that encourages women to lie to their husbands about supporting Kamala Harris is getting blasted on social media.
The ad supporting Vice President Kamala Harris, which was released by Vote Common Good, was voiced by actress Julia Roberts. “In the one place in America where women still have the right to choose, you can vote any way you want,” Roberts says. “And no one will ever know.”
In the ad, a woman wearing a bedazzled American flag hat votes for Harris. When she leaves the voting booth, her husband asks if she made the “right choice.”

Malia’s decision to drop her last name professionally 26 replies
Barack Obama shared his reaction to his daughter Malia dropping her last name for her directorial debut.
The former president said he warned her that dropping her name wouldn’t hide her connection to her famous parents.
“Her first film went to Sundance and all these fancy film festivals and she didn’t use Obama as a director on the credits,” he said during Tuesday’s episode of the “Pivot” podcast.

PHOENIX — Arizona's top prosecutor tells 12News she is investigating whether Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump violated state law by making a "death threat" against former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney during remarks Thursday night at an event in Glendale.
"I have already asked my criminal division chief to start looking at that statement, analyzing it for whether it qualifies as a death threat under Arizona's laws," Attorney General Mayes, a first-term Democrat, said during Friday's taping of "Sunday Square Off." "I'm not prepared now to say whether it was or it wasn't, but it is not helpful as we prepare for our election and as we try to make sure
Former President Trump is suing CBS News over a “60 Minutes” interview it broadcast with Vice President Harris earlier this month that he and his allies have claimed was edited to cast her in a positive light.
The lawsuit, which seeks $10 billion in damages and was filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in the Northern District of Texas alleges the network engaged in “partisan and unlawful acts of election and voter interference through malicious, deceptive, and substantial news distortion.” “To paper over Kamala’s ‘word salad’ weakness, CBS used its national platform on 60 Minutes to cross the line from the exercise of judgment in reporting to deceitful, deceptive manipulation
Billionaire investor Mark Cuban claimed Thursday on ABC’s “The View” that you never see former President Donald Trump around “strong, intelligent women.” [snip]It turns out Donald Trump is not even asking Nikki Haley for her help to try to reach her voters.[snip] “…you never see him around strong, intelligent women. Ever. It’s just that simple. They’re intimidating to him. He doesn’t like to be challenged by them and, you know, Nikki Haley will call him on his nonsense with reproductive rights and how he sees and treats and talks about women. I mean, he just can’t have her around. It wouldn’t work.”
Los Angeles descended into chaos Wednesday night as belligerent baseball fans set a bus on fire while others clashed with cops and looters ran amok following the Dodgers’ World Series victory.
The Los Angeles Police Department shared footage of a mob of looters running in and out of a boarded-up Nike store carrying merchandise and throwing it into cars parked outside the store about four miles from Dodger Stadium just after 11 p.m.
The LAPD said it was “aware of the looting” and has made arrests but did not disclose how many suspects were taken into custody.
America First Legal won big today in a lawsuit against Arizona’s Democrat Secretary of State Adrian Fontes.
The Superior Court of Arizona ordered Secretary Fontes to release the list of up to 218,000 registered voters who did not provide proof of citizenship as required by law.
Secretary Fontes must release the list by Monday.
Fontes previously claimed a computer glitch allowed more than 200,000 people in Arizona to register without proof of citizenship so America First Legal sued him on behalf of Strong Communities Foundation of Arizona, known as “EZAZ.org.”
Former President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he intends to create a new Cabinet position geared toward cutting the cost of living if elected to a second term in the White House.
He made the announcement as part of a “new step” to get “emergency price relief to all Americans” while speaking at a rally in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with less than a week to go before Election Day.
“I will create a new Cabinet position for a senior member of my administration who will be tasked exclusively with doing everything in the federal government’s power to reduce the cost of living,” Trump said.
