“Kamala Harris Does Not Deserve The Nation’s Endorsement”: Interns at Storied Leftist News Magazine ‘The Nation’ Reject Editorial Board’s Endorsement of Kamala Harris, Calling It ‘Unearned and Disappointing’

The Nation’s editorial board has not withdrawn its endorsement of Kamala Harris for president. However, a separate statement by The Nation’s interns voices disagreement with this endorsement, describing it as “unearned and disappointing.”

Kamala Harris, long considered a “rising star” among the far-left, has been abruptly stripped of an endorsement by The Nation, the storied leftist news outlet with deep historical ties to progressive causes.

The Nation is the oldest continuously published weekly magazine in the United States. It was founded on July 6, 1865, making it one of the longest-running publications in American history.

On September 23, The Nation endorsed Kamala, hailing her as a “visionary” leader with an admirable domestic agenda. But the endorsement’s optimistic tone quickly turned sour.

The leftist publication wrote at the time:

We also endorse Harris in her own right, as an experienced and capable leader with a vision for America’s future that—while not as progressive as we might prefer, particularly when it comes to foreign policy—represents a clear advance on the Democratic presidential nominees of the past half-century.

In her selection of a progressive governor, Minnesota’s Tim Walz, Harris also demonstrates an awareness of the need not merely to build on the many successes of the Biden-Harris administration but to go farther in the pursuit of economic, social, and racial justice—and the preservation of our planet.

Just weeks later, discontented editorial interns —yes, interns—at the magazine published an open letter in a blistering article.

“The Biden administration’s action, and inaction, in Gaza—and her support for those policies—should have been enough to disqualify her,” according to the website.

The Nation interns have penned a searing critique of Kamala, accusing her of complicity in policies that they claim “promote genocide.”

They slam her domestic agenda as hypocritical, insisting her talk of healthcare and housing rings hollow as crises escalate abroad.

Kamala’s so-called “sunny domestic proposals,” they say, are smoke and mirrors, ignoring the international devastation they believe her policies support.

Quiet Amnesty: How the Biden-Harris Administration Uses the Nation’s Immigration Courts to Advance an Open-Borders Agenda

 Today, the House Judiciary Committee and its Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement released an interim report titled “Quiet Amnesty: How the Biden-Harris Administration Uses the Nation’s Immigration Courts to Advance An Open-Borders Agenda.” The report details how the Biden-Harris Administration has exploited immigration court proceedings, allowing nearly 1 million illegal aliens to remain in the U.S. indefinitely.

Through administrative maneuvering, the Biden-Harris Justice Department and Department of Homeland Security have caused the immigration court backlog to skyrocket, adding over 3.7 million new cases since fiscal year 2021. In the first three quarters of fiscal year 2024 alone, the immigration courts saw more than 1.5 million new cases filed. Most of these cases are based on claims that ultimately prove unsuccessful. In fiscal year 2023, only 14 percent of adjudicated asylum cases resulted in grants, while the rest were denied, abandoned, dismissed, terminated, or administratively closed. Under the Biden-Harris Administration, over 700,000 illegal aliens have had their cases dismissed, terminated, or administratively closed, and the pace of these actions has increased each year, allowing those aliens to stay in the country indefinitely without facing immigration consequences.

People Leave Kamala Rally; Only Came For Free Springsteen Concert

People were captured leaving Kamala Harris’ rally in Atlanta, Georgia before she began speaking.

They were only in attendance because Bruce Springsteen showed up to play.

Springsteen was… not sounding very good, lets be honest.

He also used the platform to trash Trump, claiming “He does not understand this country, its history, or what it means to be deeply American.”

Trump also doesn’t cosplay as some sort of blue collar worker, while calling himself The Boss. Yet Trump still commands the respect of that demographic way more than any Democrat.

Trump As Hitler–Setting Us Up For A Coup?

I want to briefly draw attention to two articles at The Federalist today. What they both attempt is to draw attention to the bigger agenda behind the desperate Trump as Hitler hoax that has come out in the open during the past week. The articles point to the motives behind this cynical ploy:

The Atlantic Hit Piece On Trump Is A Psy-Op To Justify Post-Election Violence If Harris Loses

The hit piece in The Atlantic is part of a psy-op designed to provoke a third assassination attempt and justify mass post-election violence.

In light of the two assassination attempts on Trump that have followed on the unhinged rhetoric from the Establishment, I believe that it’s actually fair to assert that a third assassination attempt is hoped for. The Establishment attempt to deny any connection between the rhetoric and the acts and insistence on a continuation of the rhetoric amounts to a backhanded admission of that. However, the author, John Daniel Davidson, goes further:

The outlandish hit piece on Donald Trump published this week by Jeffery Goldberg at The Atlantic, which was immediately denied on the record by all the people who were in the room with Trump, isn’t just a shoddy smear that would never have passed muster in a newsroom 20 years ago.

It’s more than that. It’s part of a larger psy-op to justify mass post-election violence if Trump wins in November, to signal activists to reject the results of the election, to divide the military, and to coax an insurgency out of the radical left-wing base of the Democratic Party and unleash it on American cities.

Looking back to the violence in the Imperial City on the Potomac at the time of Trump’s inauguration as well as the violence leading up to the 2020 election—all tolerated by the Establishment—it’s difficult to argue against this scenario. Looking back, too, to the months long military occupation of the Imperial City after the 2020 election—as well as the wokeness of the military—one is also tempted to see this statement by Kama Sutra as a Freudian type statement of intent by the Establishment itself:

“He does not want a military that is loyal to the United States Constitution, he wants a military that is loyal to him,” she said. “He wants a military that is loyal to him personally. One that will obey his orders even when he tells them to break the law or abandon their oath to the Constitution of the United States.”

Why am I bothering with this? Davidson focuses on what could happen if Trump wins, but I think it’s worth considering what could happen if the Establishment manages to once again install its preferred regime. The Left has pretty much cast aside any pretense of loyalty to the Constitution as written. I can see drastic steps being taken that could require military force. Never say never. And, of course, with economic disarray threatening …

Ridiculous ‘Trump Groped Me’ Story Backfires, Causes  #KamalaGropedMe To Trend

The left attempted to amplify a claim by an Obama activist that she hung out with Jeffrey Epstein 30 years ago and they visited Donald Trump, who then groped her.

She chose to keep this information secret for over three decades and only decided to reveal it a few days before the election.

Funny that.

It is so ridiculous and unbelievable that it has ended up with the phrase #KamalaGropedMe trending instead.

The whole thing reeks of complete desperation and absolutely no one believes it.

Harris embrace of Cheney goes back to World War I

“What’s happened to the Democrats? They used to be antiwar!” Such is one of the many questions being bandied about byan online commentariat seeking to make sense of a litany of Republican endorsements of Kamala Harris, many of them made by party elites known for their hawkish foreign policy like former Wyoming Representative Liz Cheney and former Vice President Dick Cheney.

One could find similar consternation withAmerican liberals’ support for U.S. involvement in the Ukraine crisis. The confusion is based primarily on nostalgia, a selective view of history that obscures the Democratic Party’s longer, more complicated relationship with interventionism.

The reality is quite different: what we are witnessing is the latest iteration of an ongoing intraparty struggle where the dominant liberal interventionist core asserts itself over a smaller progressive noninterventionist periphery. While the latter often dominates popular conceptions of the Democratic Party and its vision for American foreign affairs, the former drives the reality of party politics.

This has been happening since the First World War, best encapsulated bythe public debate betweenColumbia professor John Dewey and one of his students, writer Randolph Bourne. While both were considered liberals of a progressive stripe, they maintained opposing views on American entry into Europe’s conflagration.

Known for his adherence to philosophical pragmatism, Dewey asserted that the war could save the world from German militarism and be used to shepherd theAmerican political economy toward a fairer, managed state. Bourne rejected this notion and argued that American entry into the war would undermine the egalitarianism of the larger progressive project and create a labyrinth of bureaucraciesthat would undermine democracy.

While Dewey’s arguments held sway as the United States entered the war, American involvement in Europe’s quarrel, compounded by civil rights abuses at home, proved Bourne posthumously correct.

Despite succumbing to the Spanish Flu in 1918, Bourne’s views of the war, bolstered by the posthumous publication of a collection of essays entitledUntimely Papers, found fertile soil in an American society horrified by the conflict. Chastened by the realities of the Western Front, interwar progressivism took on asolid strain of pacifism and opposition to centralized authority.

While Bourne’s sentiments survived the Great War and inspired a postwar mood of non-interventionism, they would not survive America’s subsequent entry into World War II, which set the tone for the foreign policy of American liberalism and, by extension, the Democratic Party for the next 30 years.

Liberal interventionism won out in the face of a threat posed by the distinctly right-wing geopolitical threat in the form of the Axis powers. Except for a fewstrident leftwing pacifists and a few dissident liberals who took refuge with the Republican Right, the bulk of theformerly pacifist left took up the cause of intervention in the name of antifascism.

The tone set by the Second World War carried through into American liberalism’s conduct of the Cold War. Beneath the din of anti-communism,one often amplified by conservatives, American foreign policy was shaped by a liberal understanding of recent history and the origins of communism. President Harry Truman’s eponymously titled doctrine entangled the United States in Europe’s security architecture.

After the Eisenhower administration, which solidified the Truman doctrine and expanded it to the Middle East and Southeast Asia, the Cold War framework was thickened further still by a liberal cold warrior, President John F. Kennedy.

Empowered by a materialist and universalistic view of human advancement and the belief that the U.S. had fallen behind the Soviets, JFK pursued a policy known as “flexible response” that expanded American military spending beyond the bounds of nuclear deterrence. These policy changes, maintained under his successor, President Lyndon Johnson, and coupled with a dramatic increase in foreign aid spending, expanded U.S. commitments throughout the postcolonial world.

TROUBLE IN PARADISE: Kamala Harris Gets Destroyed by CNN Panel Over Catastrophic Town Hall While Triggered Libs Unleash on ‘Entitled White Male’ Host Anderson Cooper

The reviews for Kamala Harris’s performance during last night’s town hall are coming in, and they are not pretty. Meanwhile, liberal fans of the flailing presidential candidates are turning their ire on one of their own for being too ‘mean’ to Harris.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Harris participated in a CNN town hall for undecided voters on Wednesday night. She fell apart completely under surprisingly tough questions from liberal host Anderson Cooper.

In one particularly embarrassing moment, Harris was reduced to a blubbering mess when pressed on the subject of the border crisis and the idea of a border wall.

Stacey Abrams Complains Black Men Are Sexist and Racist Against Kamala Harris – Then Insists They Will Still Vote For Her

The twice failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams has complained that black men are both sexist and racist against Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

In an interview with CNN’s Erin Burnett, Abrams was asked to comment on remarks by the prominent Georgia pastor Jamal Bryant saying that black men are misogynistic and that this had prevented Abrams from winning the governorship.

“Full stop misogyny is still real in our community,” Bryant said. “We’ve got to address it head-on and not act like it doesn’t exist. The reality is if black men had voted, Stacey Abrams would be a governor.”

Abrams then weighed in:

I know it’s a shock to everyone, but sexism remains real and a very pertinent issue. But I want us to be really clear that Kamala Harris is doing very well with Black men. Black men are the second strongest cohort of Democratic voters.

What we’re seeing though is that she is showing them due respect by actually speaking to their issues. And those issues differ from other cohorts. I’m not quite certain why there is this panic about black men voting. They vote. In fact, they vote more than their counterparts in any other community for Democrats.

However, we do have to acknowledge that there is sexism. There is racism. There are challenges in our electorate and that’s why it’s so important that Kamala Harris is going everywhere and talking to everyone.

She respects voters. She meets them where they are and she refuses to be told that she has lost a cohort, lost a community simply because she’s different.

Kamala Harris Attacks Jill Stein in Wisconsin, Links Her to David Duke, Vladimir Putin

Vice President Kamala Harris appears to fear that Jill Stein could spoil her chances of winning ten electoral votes in Wisconsin.

Stein, who is the Green Party’s nominee for president, received more votes in the three “blue wall” states than the margin by which two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton lost in 2016. In Wisconsin, for example, Stein won 31,072 votes, while Clinton lost by a 22,748-vote margin.

Harris is determined to not lose Wisconsin like Clinton did and has begun running ads in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, attacking Stein by linking her to KKK leader David Duke and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Harris is flush with cash and can likely afford to attack Stein.

Harris appears to be essentially tied in Wisconsin with former President Donald Trump, with Stein receiving about one percent of the vote, a recent Marquette poll found. Stein’s one percent could be enough to spoil Harris’s chances of winning the Badger State’s ten Electoral College votes.

Kamala Harris Projects The Left’s Military Takeover On Trump

After spending four years spearheading an administration that’s injected Marxist ideology into the military, Kamala Harris is now accusing Donald Trump of wanting to hijack the U.S. armed forces for his own political gain.

In an impromptu speech at the Naval Observatory on Wednesday, the vice president outlandishly claimed that Trump once “said he wanted generals like Adolf Hitler had.” She also baselessly contended the former president “does not want a military that is loyal to the United States Constitution,” but one “that is loyal to him.”

The unfounded assertions seemingly stem from a recently published Atlantic piece authored by misinformation trafficker Jeffrey Goldberg. Known for deploying the debunked “suckers” and “losers” hoax against Trump before the 2020 election, Goldberg’s new article cites anonymous sources who supposedly claim Trump disparaged a deceased service member and that he said he “need[s] the kind of generals that Hitler had” during his time as president.

Numerous former Trump administration officials and the deceased soldier’s sister — who said she voted for Trump this week — have since publicly denounced Goldberg’s smear job as completely false. But truth is of little concern to Harris, who gleefully weaponized the obvious pre-Election Day hit piece to paint Trump as a wannabe-dictator seeking to overthrow the military for personal gain.

Trump “wants a military who will be loyal to him personally, one that will obey his orders even when he tells them to break the law or abandon their oath to the Constitution of the United States,” Harris said.

As is the case with her ominous claims that Trump will use lawfare to target his political opponents if elected, Harris is projecting the Democrat Party’s authoritarian agenda onto the former president. Throughout the past four years, the Biden-Harris administration has been steadily “reimagining” America’s military into a force that prioritizes the institution-wide adoption neo-Marxist ideology.

Shortly after taking power, the administration implemented an executive order mandating all federal agencies — including the Defense Department — adopt discriminatory “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) policies throughout their respective workforces. Military branches such as the Navy issued their own directives that year requiring officials to “develop a strategy to advance DEI across the enterprise.”
