This week has been mind boggling, and the hits just keep on coming.  If you've found you despise the media, good, but you probably don't despise the corrupt media as much as they deserve, and for the first time the majority of voters agree, at least when it comes to Kamala.

I often wonder how some of these people who are constantly in the news function as human beings.  Former Rep. Kinzinger, of the J6 commission fame, just can't wait to flush Trump down the drain.  Why would he say something so idiot? Because if Trump is elected all those on that committee will come under investigation for their criminal activity in how they handled, and even destroyed the evidence, including him and Liz.  

Then we have James Carville who calls the Harris/Walz act "classy" and the Trump/Vance act "trashy".   Well, I've listed commentaries this week about the "class" demonstrated by the Harris/Walz team, and it ain't pretty.  I've always thought Carville had a screw loose. 

Time and truth are on the same side, and here's another example of how vile and insane this man is.  He's certifiable in my opinion, right along with Bernie Sanders who's just thrilled at the  strong Progressive agenda being laid out by Kamala.  Really?  What agenda?  

She's shot off her mouth about "I'm gonna to this, and I'm gonna do that", and I'm gonna build 3 million homes in 4 years, but could only build eight EV stations in two and a half years.  She's gonna go total Soviet and put price controls on food, rent, drugs, and well ________ fill in the blank because that's going to shift like the wind, and as in all price control schemes, disaster follows in the form of shortages, rationing, and corruption.   Monica Showalter calls it Castro writ large, and that worked out so well in Venezuela more than 40% of the population wants to leave.  

That's history, and that history is incontestable.   I would also like to know where and how she plans on getting the legislative authority to do all that?  That's what's called an agenda. 

So, where's the progressive agenda Bernie is so thrilled about?  There isn't one, and for good reason Democrats have "begged" her not to release one before the election.  

Update 8/18/24, 7:21AM:  It appears she's now release an "agenda".  According to Clarice Feldman in her article, Two Heroes and a Marxist Airhead: She has finally set forth her agenda (until now it has been a secret with not even a hint of it on her website). It appears to have been written by slovenly kids who spent their college years in the student union advocating for “the masses.” RK

As usual, Bernie is a communist dolt, and if Kamala did release an actual agenda she'd have to do interviews to promote it, and she's running away from that hornets nest scenario like a sprinter at the Olympics, and for good reason.  The more she's interviewed the more doltish she looks.  Unless you consider her sit down scripted meaningless love fest with Walz, who has also developed an allergy to interviews.

The Democrats are trying to turn Kamala from an "unattractive border girl into a dazzling "joy-filled lady", but it’s harder going than in the musical."   This is scam to get Kamala elected President is shady beyond belief, and Kamala, the ’Vibe Queens’ campaign has no positive accomplished roots, and that's for every position she takes.  And now she's running away from Bidenomics, she's not having to address how and why the Biden/Harris administration allowed China to steal America’s intellectual property, something Trump put a halt to, and they reversed.  She's needs to justify their policies on immigration which has caused massive levels of criminal activity in America.  But that means doing interviews.

Then we have dingle-berry Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who's up for re-election, who wants to override the SCOTUS decision on Loper to end the Chevron Doctrine by introducing legislation to give bureaucrats unrestricted power to legislate from their desks based on whatever whim strikes them.   And make no mistake, no matter how they word it, no matter how they attempt to claim that's not their goal, and that's not what will happen, that's exactly what will happen because that's what happened unendingly before Loper for decades.   

"The role of Congress is to pass laws, not push that responsibility to bureaucrats."

Leftists in government hate freedom, and they really hate having to do their jobs by passing legislation to address specifics in issues.  That might come back to haunt them since then the public would end up seeing who they really are, and most of the time it isn't a pretty picture.

I have seven commentaries of my own and twenty five really outstanding pieces by others.

Have a good weekend, and best wishes!

Constant as the North Star

You know that voice in your head that keeps you from saying the things you shouldn't say?  Yeah, I don't have that!    We need to question everything because everything we're told should bear some resemblance to what we see going on in reality!  Much of what we're told does not!

Vance And the Republicans Really Are Weird. The Democrats Said So!

Dem - Destructive, Egotistical, Maladroit -Donald P. Walsh

By Rich Kozlovich

The nation is facing massive cultural and economic issues.  Abortion, out of control spending, massive national debt, inflation, immigration, deep state corruption, and embrace of globalism that's destructive to America's sovereignty, and the Democrat response is....JD Vance and the Republicans are weird.  That's their message to America to win the 2024 election, and that's coming from Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, hero of "stolen valor", and the Chief of Weird.  Here's the job application to work on her campaign, but that's not weird.  Really? 

• Apparently being a marine, husband, and father is weird to our pals on the Left which of course says way more about them than Vance. Welp, Vance had this to say about Kamala Harris and the one VP pick her team didn't think would upstage her because she just sucks that much, Tim Walz.

  

And that meme was ubiquitous throughout the world of leftist dimwits, and it wasn't planned or organized.  It was totally spontaneous!  You do believe that don't you?  Yeah, if you're stupid.   

Monica Showalter asks how many weirdos have come to encircle the Biden-Harris administration, and the answer is .... a lot, and this meme isn't playing well in America. 

• Weird, weird, weird! Who’s really weird?  It ain’t Donald Trump, and it ain’t J.D. Vance.
• Why an MSNBC Analyst Had to Run for the Hills After Her Atrocious Remarks About JD Vance
• JD Vance Continues to Push Back Against the 'Weird' Label 
• Pritzker: JD Vance Is "Just Weird," "Known For Obsession With Couches," "Cat Ladies"
• Column: Tim Ryan lost a Senate seat to J.D. Vance, but learned this: Vance really is ‘weird’
• AP Forced to Delete Embarrassing Fact-Check About JD Vance
• 'Audacity Is Off the Charts': Tulsi Gabbard Savages Kamala Harris for Going After JD Vance's Loyalty 
• CNN Commentator Drops Outrageous Remarks About JD Vance
• Fact Check: Democrats Try to Smear J.D. Vance as Antisemitic, Anti-Israel
• Trump Picks JD Vance for VP The Hill considers him an "America First firebrand."

Then we have that intellectual giant, and moral paragon, Whoopie Goldberg, who claims JD Vance is bereft of morality and empathy.  Remember this is the genius that said Jill Biden's a great doctor and should be Surgeon General.  She has a degree in education.  Whoopie must have missed class that day.  Remember her view that Roman Polanski wasn't really guilty of raping a 13 year old girl since it wasn't "rape rape". 

But according to Whoopie, JD Vance is devoid of morality and empathy.   But one thing he's not guilty of, and that's stupidity. 

Naturally we were bound to have the RINO brigade of nitwits, dimwits, half wits, and fools jump on this broken wheeled bandwagon, people like Bill Kristol who claims JD Vance Is ‘so weird,’ and out of the mainstream.  Which stream is he talking about?  It must be the Seine, from the left bank.  

Then there's Liz Chaney.  Is it possible for her to look any more idiotic than she already does?  Well yes, it seems she's a veritable fount of stupid.  She apparently threw a tantrum over Trump's VP pick.   This pick according to her is tyranny in the works.  But the corruption of the January 6 commission was saving democracy.  However, event show that corruption that may be called to task if Trump is elected, and she's was a deliberate part of that corruption.  

And of course we should be surprised that Mitt Romney just couldn't help boiling over with loathing for Trump's choice of running mate.  Now, ya gotta admit, Mittens really is one weird Republican, right along with John Kasich, Susan Collins, who will not vote for Trump, Susan Murkowski, who voted to impeach Trump, and other RINO weirdos.  Those must be the Republicans the Democrats are calling weird....right?  Well, in the case of these misfits, I agree.

Tucker Carlson noted that  “Every bad person I've ever met in a lifetime in Washington was aligned against JD Vance.” Now, that’s saying something. For this reason, Tucker thinks people should be “thrilled” about this VP pick. What's extraordinary about Vance, Tucker emphasizes, is that “He's like one of the only members of the Senate with a happy marriage.” Carlson also observed that the power-hungry “elite” despise Vance, not for personal reasons, but because they find him “harder to manipulate and slightly less enthusiastic about killing people.”

Unlike the Democrats with a bench so shallow they'd be at the bottom of the standings if they were a baseball team, the Republicans have a very large and powerful bench to pick from,  and unlike the Democrats who picked Walz to appeal to radical antisemitic Muslims, Trump picked Vance for his qualities.

Vance is smart, articulate, a good debater, knowledgeable, not intimated by the media, or any leftist politician in the world for that matter.  He's embraced all the traditional values of America, and the outrage over him as Trump's VP choice exposes how corrupt the elite really are as they raining down contempt for his values and his success.  He beat in their own game, in their arena.

• JD Vance: A Bridge to America's Future -At this year’s RNC Convention, Republican Presidential Candidate, Donald J. Trump announced his long-awaited and much-anticipated running mate for the 2024 election. Trump surprised many by announcing that freshman Ohio Senator JD Vance would be his right-hand man in the race to the White House.  which he addressed, saying

Initially conservatives had  a lot of distaste for JD Vance over his negative views of Trump in 2016 calling him "a cynical a-hole like Nixon", compared him to Hitler and cultural heroin, which he admits and responds by saying:

“I was certainly skeptical of Donald Trump in 2016. But President Trump was a great president, and he changed my mind. I think he changed the minds of a lot of Americans because, again, he delivered that peace and prosperity......."[ I ] “bought into the media’s lies and distortions…into this idea that somehow he was going to be so different, a terrible threat to democracy. It was a joke.”

Many conservatives have yet to forgive him his past sins, but there were a lot of conservatives who had serious doubts about Trump, and only supported him because his opponent was the Queen of Vile herself, Hillary Clinton.   Jessica Marie Baumgartner asks was Trump's choice of Vance the right one?  She answers: Absolutely!  

• Donald Trump and the J.D. Vance Calculation

So, who are his enemies?

Chuck Schumer  for one, who "Want Trump to Replace JD Vance So Badly?  Ever since former and potentially future President Donald Trump picked Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) as his running mate earlier this month, Democrats have gone after the vice presidential pick. The effort trying to highlight how Vance is supposedly "weird" has itself been rather weird. Another oddity is how Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) appears to be so hung up on Vance......

 Commentary Kamala Harris Already Panicking Over JD Vance as Trump's Power Duo Strikes Fear in Biden White House - The White House is in apparent panic mode after former President Donald Trump selected Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio as his running mate on the Republican ticket. President Joe Biden’s team — which took almost two hours to issue a statement following Saturday’s assassination attempt on Trump — reacted to the Vance announcement almost immediately after it was revealed on Monday. Biden’s X account claimed Vance and Trump “want to raise taxes on middle-class families while pushing more tax cuts for the rich.”

Interesting take since these rich are outraged over this pick, making Biden's arguments sound stupid.  Stupid comments from Joe Biden.  Imagine that.

Wall Street, Donors, Neocons Seethe Over Populist JD Vance Being Trump’s VP-  Big money donors, wealthy Wall Street brokers, and old-guard neoconservatives are seething over former President Donald Trump’s choosing Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) as his vice presidential running mate in this year’s election — similar to 2016 when the same elite crowd was furious over Trump’s candidacy.

 

 The Left Hates J.D. Vance  -Donald Trump’s choice for vice president, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), is, according to the Washington Post, “a rising star in the Republican Party and previously outspoken Trump critic who in recent years has closely aligned himself with the former president.” The leftist establishment media will in the next few weeks make a great deal out of his having been a Trump critic, leading some patriots to wonder if this was yet another of Trump’s personnel decisions that ended up backfiring on him (think Pence, Tillerson, McMaster, Bolton, et al). The strongest point in Vance’s favor, however, is that the left burns with a loathing for Vance that is almost as intense as its hatred for the man at the top of the ticket.......

 

Given the tyranny the new British labour government is imposing on the people of Britain, this is an excellent reason to think this was a good pick. 

• British Media Very Prickled By Vance's Islamist Nation Comments - Uncomfortable truth or outrageous lie? Either way, the British media squirmed over Trump VP pick J.D. Vance’s humorous reflection on Britain, a nuclear power, having such rapidly changing demographics.........Nearly every major British media outlet carried their concerns over Ohio Senator James David (‘J.D.’) Vance’s comments at the National Conservatism Conference in Washington D.C. last week after he was selected by former President Donald Trump to be his running mate on Monday.

If all this leftist trash hate him so badly, isn't that the finest commendation for him as Trump's VP pick?   Know your friends by their enemies.
