2019: Kamala Harris calls the border wall a "vanity project" because "by definition," illegal immigration is "not an emergency." This individual is now the "Border Czar." Embedded video 37 secs at link

News organizations are actively engaging in exactly the practice carried out by Winston Smith in Nineteen Eighty-Four, memory-holing their previous publications to fit the new party line. Kamala Harris was never a border czar; that’s right-wing disinformation now. All previous references to her being the border czar, an unofficial title and real role given to her by Biden and his close advisers to humiliate and embarrass her, have been duly erased. And while we’re at it, how about a round of applause for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and the astounding unity of the Democratic Party! ... Now liberal opinion...

Now that Kamala is unburdened by that has-been and before whoever's holding Joe Biden releases another not-quite-proof-of-life audio recording, let's go back less than a month to when this started - the June 27th debate and the formerly loyal press corps' amazing synchronised-shivving routine. As I wrote back then about the sudden outbreak of "third-rate dinner theatre":So why weren't they able, after a week-and-a-half of dosage experimentation, to shoot the stiff enough of the juice to pass him off as being back in his State of the Union top-of-the-game mode?As my former GB News colleague Neil Oliver observed long ago...

Corporate media would love to make it appear that all political violence in the U.S. comes from the right. History begs to differ. Following the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, one of the most prominent news bytes among the propaganda media was the shooter’s alleged political affiliation. Corporate media outlets didn’t hesitate to note that Thomas Crooks, the 20-year-old Pennsylvania native who shot Trump in the face, killed a rally attendee, and injured two others, was a registered Republican. “Crooks was a registered Republican, according to Pennsylvania voter records,” wrote NBC News in an article the day after...

CHICAGO (AP) — “ Brats for Harris.” “ We need a Kamalanomenon. ” “ Gen Z feels the Kamalove.” In the days since President Joe Biden exited the presidential race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, Gen Z voters jumped to social media to share coconut tree and “brat summer” memes — reflecting a stark shift in tone for a generation that’s voiced feeling left behind by the Democratic party. Youth-led progressive organizations have warned for months that Biden had a problem with young voters, pleading with the president to work more closely with them to refocus on the issues...

TOPEKA, Kan.

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) praised the opening ceremony of the Olympics in Paris, France, as being “imaginative, inventive and memorable.” The opening ceremony featured an opening dance number that showed women being “flung around on poles,” while another dance number showed three dancers, two men and a woman, who had been dancing through the streets, going up the stairs of a building as they began kissing.

Kamala Harris' top vice president pick has been dragged into a shocking sexual harassment scandal. Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, 51, is in the running to take Harris' job as vice president should she beat Donald Trump in November. Harris has so far requested materials from Shapiro as part of a vetting process that includes several governors of swing states that could be an asset to her efforts.

As much as I hate to sound like a member of a Greek Chorus or, worse yet, style myself as The Oracle at Utah, I feel compelled to warn everyone that there is a chance that Harris will occupy the Oval Office in January. The doldrums that accompanied Biden's decline will likely vaporize as the Democratic faithful anoint the latest incarnation of their savior. The expected celebrity nabobs have prairie-dogged up from their various burrows on the B, C, and declining A-lists to express their joy that Kamala Harris has entered the chat. I won't name them here since I...

Joy Reid has suggested that Donald Trump's grandchildren do not have a loving relationship with the former president. The controversial MSNBC host was comparing Trump's private life with that of president Joe Biden when she claimed that the Republican's family does not seem as close. 'Donald Trump has grandkids too, but the physical interactions that they had at the convention felt so cold and sort of clinical,' Reid said on Wednesday, adding 'it didn't feel real.'

A Missouri woman who spent 43 years in prison after incriminating herself in a 1980 murder while she was a psychiatric patient has been freed from prison despite attempts in the last month by Missouri’s attorney general to keep her behind bars.

But a judge overturned the conviction last month, agreeing that her lawyers had established evidence of her innocence...

Taylor Swift has not endorsed anyone in this year’s presidential race. But her army of fans isn’t waiting for her. Swifties know which way she leans.
