Media Blitzes and Desperation

It’s less than one month from the 2024 presidential election and it feels like there has been a shift.

The Kamala Harris campaign must be nervous. Democratic polling suggests Trump has made gains – and even leads – key swing states. An internal poll from Democrat Tammy Baldwin’s Senate campaign, for example, shows Trump up by 3% in Wisconsin. It’s getting to the point that Michigan Democrats have begged Kamala to do more events in that state, as she lags with union support and polls poorly with men. Her struggles in Michigan are not unique to that state – she faces the same problems in every other close race she needs to win, particularly Pennsylvania and Nevada.

The sign of Democratic concern has always been whether Kamala and Tim Walz will do interviews. It’s risk reward: Kamala interviews poorly, and people seem to like her less the more they get to know her, but in such a close race where Kamala can’t seem to gain momentum, what are the other options?

Their hand has been forced. The Democrats’ internal polls might not be totally public, save for the occasional leak, but her own people know “they’re not moving the needle.”

Ex-Staff Calls Kamala’s Husband an ‘Asshole’ and ‘Misogynistic’

Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband are facing more bad news as former colleagues reveal what it was like working with the second gentleman.

Attorneys who worked at Venable with Doug Emhoff said that he would often scream profanities, prohibit women from his office cocktail hour, refuse work perks for women who would not flirt with him and would only travel in a limousine with young and attractive associates when going to a ball.

Under anonymity, a former senior staff member told the Daily Mail that Emhoff once “bragged” about screaming “get the f*ck out of my office” to one of the female partners at the firm and later shared with his top male colleagues that he “put her in her place.”

“She had to ask him something,” the ex-staffer told the outlet. “His office door was closed. She said to his secretary, ‘is he on the phone?’ She said no. She tapped on the door, he didn’t answer, so she slightly opened the door and stuck her head in.”

JD Vance Says ‘Bags Of Marijuana’ And Candy Laced With THC And Fentanyl Are Coming Across The Border, Blaming Biden-Harris Immigration Policy

Former President Donald Trump’s 2024 running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), is accusing Vice President Kamala Harris of failing to stop marijuana and fentanyl disguised as Nerds candy and other popular brands that appeal to children from coming across the border.

At a Faith & Freedom Coalition event in Atlanta last month, the senator talked about being invited to the evidence room of a sheriffs department where he says he saw “every drug you can possibly imagine,” including “bags and bags of marijuana,” pressed fentanyl pills and meth.

“I say, ‘Guys, what is going on here? You’ve got all these drugs here that looks to me just like a box of candy—a box of Nerds candy,” Vance said. “And they say, ‘Well, sir, that’s actually THC and fentanyl.’ But I say, ‘Wait a second, the cartels have disguised deadly fentanyl to look like child’s candy so that they can make it easier to get into our country?’”

“Yet we know that one of those packets of fentanyl is going to end up in one of our neighborhood streets,” he said. “One of those packets of fentanyl is going to end up in a child’s playground. One of those packets of what looks like Nerds candy, but is actually a deadly substance, is going to end up in our schools, and a kid’s going to open up a packet of candy, take a piece of candy out and lose their life because of it.”

“Now that is a sick and deranged human being that would do anything like that. But it’s a sick and deranged human being who would give that person power over the United States of America, and that’s exactly what Kamala Harris has done,” he said. “She has given these drug cartels free reign over our country, and now they’re smuggling in deadly drugs that look like child candy.”

Kamala Harris’ ‘world salad’ response on 60 Minutes edited out by CBS

CBS News appears to have edited the 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris to show the Democratic 2024 hopeful in a more positive light.

Social media erupted in criticism of the vice president’s ‘word salad’ response to a question about the Israeli-Hamas war.

But after the episode aired on 60 Minutes on Monday night, the version that was put onto the show’s official YouTube page did not include Harris’ nonsensical answer and instead included a truncated and more straight-forward response.

And pro-MAGA accounts and conservative people on X were quick to point out the change.

Host Bill Whitaker asked Harris in their interview about whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was listening to the U.S. and whether the administration had any sway over the Jewish State’s decision making in its conflict with Hamas terrorists operating out of Gaza.

‘Well Bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by or a result of many things including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region,’ Harris replied.

Harris Scrambles After CBS Calls Her Out for Stealing Biden’s Delegates: ‘You Were Handed the Nomination, No Primary, No Votes… That’s Not How Our System Was Intended to Work’

Kamala Harris’s campaign took a hard hit this week during her highly anticipated 60 Minutes interview with CBS’s Bill Whitaker.

What was meant to be a friendly sit-down to showcase her policies turned into an all-out disaster, as Harris was called out for essentially being “handed” the Democrat nomination without ever going through a primary process.

CBS hit her with hard-hitting facts: no votes, no debates, no campaign battle — just an elitist handoff of power.

After a shaky start discussing her foreign policy approach to Middle East tensions, Harris stumbled through an attempted defense of her economic policies, which Whitaker repeatedly challenged.

Her “word salad” responses about middle-class investment left the host unimpressed, who pressed her again and again on how she would actually pass her proposals through Congress.

The tense exchange grew even more heated as Harris tried to deflect by casting blame on “the rich,” prompting Whitaker to urge her to be “realistic.”

The most damaging part of the interview, however, was when Whitaker zeroed in on the issue of her nomination.

Joe Biden abruptly announced he was dropping out of the 2024 race after Obama and Nancy Pelosi forced him out following the disastrous debate with Trump.

Harris stole all of Biden’s delegates. Although she has never won a primary, she is now the Democrat nominee after a group of elitists ushered her to the top of the ticket.

In a democratic system, the people expect to vote for their leaders, not have them handed to them by a small group of political elites. Harris’s nomination reeks of backroom deals and insider politics, and Whitaker wasn’t afraid to call her out on it.

Biden/Harris killed the 2022 Ukraine-War peace-deal. Would they want it now?

Early after Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 February 2022, Turkey, which is a NATO member but not as subservient to the U.S. Government as almost all of its European members are, broke with the U.S. Government’s opposition to there being any negotiations to settle the Ukraine war; and peace talks, negotiations to end the conflict, were held in Istanbul. As Wikipedia notes regarding those negotiations:

In a surprise visit to Ukraine on 9 April [2022], British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said “Putin is a war criminal, he should be pressured, not negotiated with,” and that the collective West was not willing to make a deal with Putin. Three days after Johnson left Kyiv, Putin stated publicly that talks with Ukraine “had turned into a dead end”. Naftali Bennett said in 2023 that both sides had wanted a ceasefire, the odds of the deal holding had been 50-50, and that the Western powers backing Ukraine had stopped the deal.[79]

Mr. Johnson had received U.S. President Joe Biden’s authorization to do that — to go to  Ukraine’s President Volodmyr Zelensky to inform him that The West (the U.S. empire, including NATO) would cease supporting Ukraine’s Government if Ukraine would sign the till-then-agreed-upon but not-yet-signed peace treaty with Russia, which entailed Russia’s ceasing its invasion in return for Ukraine’s returning to its neutral status which had prevailed prior to the US. Government’s take-over of Ukraine on 20 February 2014, and Ukraine’s ceasing its efforts to restore to Ukraine the 22% of the former Ukraine’s territory that Russia then was occupying. Biden insisted upon the Ukrainian Government’s pursuing an all-or-nothing strategy to defeat Russia in the battlefields of Ukraine — or else Ukraine would lose Western support in its war against Russia. (The reason for this policy from Biden is that though such a peace treaty would have been far better for Ukraine, since the million-or-so deaths, that continuing the war entails, would have been prevented, such a treaty would have totally ended America’s ownership of Ukraine, which was won by the Obama/Biden Administration’s stunningly successful coup in February 2014, which grabbed control of Ukraine away from the people of Ukraine. The U.S. Government wants to continue controlling Ukraine’s Government.)

Biden-Harris Administration Brags About Supplying Ukraine With Power as Thousands of Americans Are Left Without

The Biden-Harris administration has faced massive criticism following its response to Hurricane Helene. This time, it is receiving backlash over a post made about keeping the power on in Ukraine as millions of Americans have been impacted by Hurricane Helene.

The Biden-Harris administration’s administrator of the US Agency for International Development, Samantha Power, released a video bragging about how they “are helping Ukraine keep the lights and heat on.” The video comes as 700,000 U.S. homes and businesses are still waiting for power to be restored, as reported by Breitbart.

“I’m here in an energy substation in the western region of Ukraine,” she says in the video. “This substation provides enough power for around 500,000 residents of this area.”

Kamala Slammed Over Appearance on ‘Call Her Daddy’ Podcast

Vice President Kamala Harris has faced significant backlash over her recent appearance on the explicit podcast “Call Her Daddy,” which aired during a time when Americans were grappling with the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Helene.

Critics, particularly from conservative circles, argue that her decision to participate in the podcast reflects misplaced priorities amid a national crisis.

According to the Daily Wire, Harris recorded the interview with podcast host Alex Cooper just as the death toll from Hurricane Helene was rising across southeastern states.

The storm’s impact has been catastrophic, with at least 30 reported fatalities in Asheville, North Carolina alone.

Kamala Harris campaign still mandating employees get COVID vax

Vice President Harris is still insisting that employees of her 2024 presidential campaign be fully vaccinated against the coronavirus — even as most other institutions in American life have abandoned vaccine mandates.

“Harris for President requires all employees to be ‘up to date’ on COVID-19 vaccination status as prescribed by the CDC as a condition of employment, unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law,” reads the fine print of a job posting for a senior designer in Wilmington, Del. Anyone seeking a “reasonable accommodation” must plead their case to human resources.

Additional postings on Harris’ campaign website indicates the rules also apply to all jobs offered by the Democratic National Committee as well.

Up to date officially means having a dose of the latest Pfizer, Moderna or Novavax coronavirus vaccine, according to the CDC.

Kamala Harris’ Gushing Praise For Dick Cheney Backfires Terribly On Campaign

Former Vice President Dick Cheney made headlines last month after declaring he would vote for Democrat Kamala Harris over Donald Trump in the upcoming November election. Cheney, a long-time Republican, expressed his concerns over Trump’s leadership, stating the former president “can never be trusted with power again.”

“In our nation’s 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump. He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him. He can never be trusted with power again,” Cheney said in a statement on September 6. “As citizens, we each have a duty to put country above partisanship to defend our Constitution. That is why I will be casting my vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.”

On Thursday, former Republican Representative Liz Cheney introduced Kamala Harris at a Wisconsin rally, marking her first public endorsement of a Democrat. “We may disagree on some things, but we are bound together by the other thing that matters to us as Americans more than any other, and that is our duty to our Constitution and our belief in the miracle and the blessing of this great nation,” Liz said to the crowd.

Liz served three terms as Wyoming’s representative in the House before losing her 2022 primary to Trump-endorsed Harriet Hageman, who was once an adviser to her father. Liz cited the “critical moment in our nation’s history” as the reason behind her decision, further highlighting the political shift within some factions of the Republican Party.

As a result, Harris faced backlash following the rally for her praise of her father, Dick Cheney. “I also want to thank your father, Vice President Dick Cheney, for his support, and what he has done to serve our country,” Harris said, while acknowledging Liz Cheney’s backing. Although Harris’ partnership with Liz Cheney might have ruffled some Democratic feathers, it was her commendation of Dick Cheney that drew sharp criticism from both quarters.
