BLAME GAME: Nancy Pelosi Says Biden’s Refusal to Drop Out Cost Kamala Harris The Election

Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has argued that “it would have been different” if Joe Biden had agreed to stand down earlier than he eventually did.

Biden repeatedly refused to exit the presidential race despite glaring evidence that he is suffering from dementia and other age-related issues.

However, his campaign fell apart after a disastrous television debate with Donald Trump in which he was barely coherent.

This triggered panic among Democratic leaders, with Pelosi and Barack Obama eventually demanding that he step aside. Biden eventually heeded this request in mid-July and endorsed Kamala Harris.

In an interview with The New York Times podcast, Pelosi indicated that allowing Biden to remain in the race proved to be a fatal error.

“Had the president gotten out sooner, there may have been other candidates in the race,” she explained. “The anticipation was that, if the president were to step aside, that there would be an open primary.”

“And as I say, Kamala may have, I think she would have done well in that and been stronger going forward. But we don’t know that. That didn’t happen.”

“We live with what happened. And because the president endorsed Kamala Harris immediately, that really made it almost impossible to have a primary at that time. If it had been much earlier, it would have been different.”

Pelosi was also asked to weigh in on comments by Senator Bernie Sanders that the Democratic Party had lost its key working-class constituencies due to its obsession with identity politics.

“Bernie Sanders has not won,” Pelosi explained. “With all due respect, and I have a great deal of respect for him, for what he stands for, but I don’t respect him saying that the Democratic Party has abandoned the working-class families.”

“Guns, God and gays — that’s the way they say it,” she continued. “Guns, that’s an issue; gays, that’s an issue, and now they’re making the trans issue such an important issue in their priorities; and in certain communities, what they call God, what we call a woman’s right to choose.”

OOF! Mural of Kamala Harris in Atlanta, Georgia Already Being Painted Over 

Kamala Harris is so finished that she is already being erased from memory.

A mural of Harris that was painted on the side of a building in Atlanta, Georgia has already been painted over. This confirms that despite all the hype from Democrats and media that Harris was another Obama, the hype was all completely manufactured. Totally fake.

In four years, when Democrats begin announcing that they’re running for president, Harris will probably not be one of them.

The Latin Times reported:

Kamala Harris Mural in Atlanta Quickly Painted Over After Election Loss as Artist Says ‘On to the Next’

The Georgia artist responsible for a large mural featuring Kamala Harris has responded to a viral video of its removal, encouraging everyone to move “on to the next.”

The mural, depicting Kamala Harris amidst roses on a bright blue background, sprawled across a building in Atlanta’s Historic West End for a month before it was painted over. The video circulating the internet shows a painter covering Kamala’s towering image in brick red paint.

“My girl just lost a day ago, like damn,” the voice of @glowinggodess27 can be heard chiding in the TikTok.

The artist was quick to respond. “Before I start getting tagged a 100 million times, the mural of Kamala was only and always meant to be a temporary mural,” explains artist Christopher Clark.

Clown World: Leftists Terrified RFK Getting Rid of Fluoride

Left-leaning social media users are absurdly melting down over Trump ally Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s plan to take fluoride out of America’s water supply.

Kennedy has explained one of his key steps to making America healthy again involves removing fluoride from municipal water supplies, concerned over studies showing it lowers children’s IQs, causes cancer, and triggers other harmful health effects.

After Kennedy last week said he’d press the incoming Trump administration to remove the “industrial waste” blamed for causing “neurodevelopmental disorders, and thyroid disease,” anti-Trumpers bizarrely campaigned against the effort.

“This is… not good,” wrote Democrat strategist Keith Edwards on X, offering no further comment.

The sentiment was later echoed by another leftist on Reddit following Trump’s election, complaining RFK would “GET RID OF VACCINES AND FLUORIDE.”

Scientific American editor issues screed against America for electing Trump

Laura Helmuth, editor-in-chief of Scientific American, faced backlash after posting a series of inflammatory comments following Donald Trump’s decisive victory in the presidential election.

In posts made on Bluesky, a social media platform considered an alternative to X, Helmuth accused her home state of Indiana of being racist and sexist for voting for Trump.

“Every four years I remember why I left Indiana (where I grew up) and remember why I respect the people who stayed and are trying to make it less racist and sexist. The moral arc of the universe isn’t going to bend itself,” she posted. 

Another post read, “Solidarity to everybody whose meanest, dumbest, most bigoted high-school classmates are celebrating early results because f*ck them to the moon and back.” In a separate post, Helmuth commented, “I apologize to younger voters that my Gen X is so full of f*cking fascists.”

‘Unmistakable message’: Kansas City Star editor urges judge to make ‘shocking’ decision

The election marked a first in United States’ 248-year history when Donald Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris while awaiting sentencing on 34 criminal charges. The president-elect has faced criminal indictments in three other cases as well.

Justice Juan Merchan is scheduled to sentence Trump on those 34 charges on Nov. 26.

In an op-ed published by the Kansas City Star on Friday, journalist Bill Dalton argued that Merchan can honor “the rule of law” — by throwing the book at Trump.

“On November 5,” Dalton writes, “the American people did the unthinkable — they elected a convicted felon president. Judge Juan Merchan should now do what was once unthinkable — force a president-elect to take the oath of office in a jail cell.

“After taking the oath on January 20, Donald J. Trump’s first act of his second term undoubtedly would be to try to pardon himself and walk out a free man. But the surreal scene, while certainly shocking for the rest of the free world to witness, would send an unmistakable message — the rule of law still rules in America.”

Dalton continues, “That message needs to be sent because, after Inauguration Day, the rule of law will cease to exist for sitting presidents thanks to the U.S. Supreme Court’s immunity ruling. Trump proved Tuesday, aided and abetted by 72 million voters, that crime does indeed pay. He thumbed his nose at America’s once respected system of justice. He made a laughingstock of prosecutors and the judicial process. He turned what used to be a political liability for candidates into a political asset for fundraising.”

Dalton argued that Merchan “should sentence and jail Trump while he is still a private citizen, no better nor more privileged than any of the millions of people who voted for or against him.”

“Merchan should show the same courage that Vice President Mike Pence showed on January 6 when he stood for the rule of law, risking his life and destroying his political career in the process,” Dalton wrote.

Colorado Springs Voters Approve Two Contradictory Marijuana Ballot Measures To Both Allow And Ban Recreational Sales

Colorado Springs voters approved two competing ballot measures this week, one that would ban retail marijuana in the city and another that would allow existing medical marijuana stores to also sell recreationally.

As of 6 p.m. on Wednesday night, about 53 percent of voters approved Ballot Issue 2D, a city charter amendment referred by City Council that would prohibit sales within city limits. About the same share of voters also approved Ballot Question 300, an initiated ordinance which would allow the approximately 90 medical marijuana stores in the city to apply for a recreational license.

Mayor Yemi Mobolade said the result creates “a really interesting legal dilemma for us,” according to Westword.

“Although the election is not final until the results are certified, it appears as though both Ballot Question 2D and Ballot Question 300 will have been approved by the voters. If this is the case, Ballot Question 300 must be read, interpreted, and implemented in a manner to be consistent and harmonious with Ballot Question 2D,” city spokesperson Max D’Onofrio wrote in an email.

The city charter takes precedence over ordinances, so provisions of Ballot Question 300 that conflict with Ballot Issue 2D cannot be implemented, which appears to mean recreational marijuana sales would continue to be outlawed. D’Onofrio said the city is currently reviewing the ballot language. City Council next meets on November 12.

At the same time, backers of Ballot Issue 2D are optimistic.

“When all the votes are counted and the will of voters is given effect, responsible regulation will be law and the city council’s cynical ploy will be defeated,” Citizens for Responsible Marijuana Regulation said in a statement. “We know that those in municipal government will defer to the clearly expressed intent of voters to authorize recreational marijuana, and we look forward to working with city leaders over the coming months to create a responsible regulatory framework.”

Fact Check: MOSTLY TRUE

Snopes has done a helpful fact check on this: Misleading Post Says Harris Only Won in States Not Requiring Voter ID in 2024. If you read the Snopes post, what you’ll quickly see is that, while the claim is not strictly true, it’s MOSTLY true. Snopes even adds the useful information that PA only requires ID for first-time voters—otherwise, no ID. So, look at it this way. CA, NY, IL, MA give the Dems one helluva guaranteed head start on the popular vote and electoral vote combined. New York City, LA, Chicago, Boston, San Fran. That head start—call it the Blue Wall—allows the Dems to reallocate resources to peel off a few other states, by hook or by crook.

What does this tell you about how elections have been going since, say, 2008? And especially in 2020? You don’t have to deny all American demographic dynamics to see the degree of corruption here. Of course there are large numbers of foolish people across the country. What voter ID laws do is blunt the worst effects of human nature in the context of electoral processes. Do Big Cities vote heavily Blue, for all sorts of reasons? Yes, of course they do. But do the majority of the biggest cities also happen to be situated mostly in non-ID states? And have those states become the epicenter of election fraud? That’s like asking, is it coincidence that Dems so rabidly oppose honest voting rolls and registration and ID laws, and so viciously slander those who work for honest elections?

Trump’s 2016 win was the shot across the Ruling Class bow that led to the over the top 2020 steal—not even subtle. One commentator pointed out that, in a sense, Zhou saved the Dems for four years because, but for Zhou, they would have had to run Bernie, and how do you pull off a steal for Bernie? Hello, Bill Barr and Mitch McConnnell—and many others. You think they didn’t know all this?

BRUTAL: CNN Hosts Absolutely Silent as Democrat Strategist Delivers Some ‘Hard Truths’ to Her Party 

Democrat strategist Julie Roginsky appeared on CNN this morning and delivered some tough but fair comments to members of her party.

According to her, the problem was not Joe Biden or even Kamala Harris, but the party itself which has gone so far left that average Americans don’t even understand their language anymore.

If you watch the video below, you may agree with some of the things that Roginsky says about the Democrats.

The New York Post has details:

Dem strategist delivers scorching reality check to her own side after Harris’ loss: ‘Not party of common sense’

Democratic strategist Julie Roginsky issued “some hard truths” about Donald Trump’s historic election win during a CNN segment Thursday, claiming her own side is “not the party of common sense” and can’t talk to normal people.

“I’m going to speak some hard truths to my friends in the Democratic Party. This is not Joe Biden’s fault. It’s not Kamala Harris’ fault. It’s not Barack Obama’s fault — it is the fault of the Democratic Party in not knowing how to communicate effectively to voters,” she said.

“We are not the party of common sense, which is the message that voters sent to us.”

She argued against addressing Latinos as the Latinx because “it makes them think that we don’t even live in the same planet as they do.”

“When we are too afraid to say, ‘Hey college kids, if you’re trashing a campus at Columbia University because you’re unhappy about some sort of policy and you’re taking over a university and you’re trashing it, preventing other students from learning, that that is unacceptable,’”…

BACKLASH: Angry Liberals Start Going After George Clooney for His Role in Forcing Biden Out of the 2024 Race

Actor George Clooney may have to enter the witness protection program before the year is over.

Many liberals who are outraged over the outcome of the election are blaming Clooney for his role in forcing Joe Biden out of the 2024 election.

Clooney wrote a column for the New York Times demanding that Biden step aside after his disastrous debate performance in June.

Now he is facing an angry mob from his own side.

Breitbart News reports:

Democrats Rage at George Clooney for Pushing Biden out Following Trump’s Blowout Victory: ‘It’s All His Fault’

George Clooney is being attacked by despairing fans in the wake of Vice President Kamala Harris’s humiliating defeat in the 2024 election campaign after the actor demanded President Joe Biden step aside in her favor.

As Breitbart News reported, the Ocean’s Eleven actor, 63, notably penned an op-ed for the New York Times in July where he called on Biden, 81, to abandon his presidential campaign, writing: “We are not going to win in November with this president.”

Predicting the Opposition’s Next Move

NY Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has produced a recording of her silly self saying “We are about to enter a political period of fascism and authoritarianism. It is not uncommon to jail political dissidents or legislative opponents.”

This is precisely the outcome that AOC and her comrades want. As we saw during the George Floyd riots, a shadowy network of DNC-aligned nonprofits, funded by leftist billionaires, can quickly mobilize hordes of mentally deranged youth to take to the streets to cause chaos, violence, and property destruction.

These people want the new Trump administration to crack down on their emotionally dysregulated shock troops, and they will use trained agents-provocateurs to execute their plan. A crackdown will seemingly justify AOC’s claim that “We are about to enter a political period of fascism and authoritarianism.”

How to nip this in the bud before it results in injuries, death, property destruction, and pile of needless drama and distraction?
