his pitiful loss from a 17-point lead. Getting into a tank was not Mike's best idea.
Photoshopping Harris in the tank would be a neat pic.

Steering America into a hellhole.
Barring a possible but unlikely “October surprise,” Kamala Harris will be the Democratic nominee for president. When Democratic string pullers decided that Joe Biden was unfit to run again, Harris became the obvious—if not best—choice.
Her disapproval ratings are telling. While 38% approve of Harris, 52% disapprove, and a detailed report by the David Horowitz Freedom Center spells out a legacy that would make the late Joe Stalin proud. Just a few of the taxpayer disasters that Harris has in mind are that health care is a fundamental right and “Medicare for All” should be the policy. She also believes in economic security for all who are unable or unwilling to work. She favors family and medical leave, vacations, and retirement security for all workers, as well as, “high-quality health care” administered by the federal government.
Harris also adheres to all the au-courant left-wing fashions. As the Black Lives Matter riots were spreading like wildfire, she tried to set up a bail fund for those who were arrested. She wants to ban right-to-work laws, which allow private industry workers not to be forced to pay union dues as a condition of employment.
Harris fought for the passage of the Biden administration’s $1.9 trillion “American Rescue Plan”—virtually all of which was financed by borrowed money and which even liberal finance experts warned would be inflationary—and she cast the deciding vote for the laughably named “Inflation Reduction Act,” the projected costs of which have risen to more than $1 trillion, leading to out-of-control inflation.
She is a nightmare on taxes. As if we are all not forking over enough money already, Harris has pushed to raise the corporate income tax, expand the estate tax, impose a financial transaction tax on stock trades, raise the top marginal income tax rate on the top 1% to 39.6%, and implement a 4% “income-based premium” on households making more than $100,000 annually to pay for her “Medicare for All” gambit.
Harris, as the so-called border czar, has failed miserably. In fact, “border-free czar” would be much more accurate. Under her watch, illegal immigration has exploded. As of January 2024, more than 7.2 million migrants had illegally crossed into the U.S. over the southern border during the Biden administration — a number higher than the individual populations of 36 states. Even leftwing fact-checker Snopes rates this number as accurate.
Harris is notorious for rambling, often incoherently, when speaking. Cal Thomas offers a typical example of her word salads: “Culture is (pause) It is a reflection of our moment in our time, right? And, and present culture is the way we express our feeling about the moment. And, and we should always find time to express how we feel about the moment that is a reflection of joy ’cause, eeeh, you know, it comes in the morning (cackles). We also have to find ways to also express the way we feel about the moment in terms of just having language and, and and, a connection to how people are experiencing life and I think about it in that way, too.”
And then there is education. Harris asserted in 2019, “I am running to declare education is a fundamental right, and we will guarantee that right with universal pre-k and debt-free college!”
That same year, as a senator, she tried and failed to enshrine the 21st Century STEM for Girls and Underrepresented Minorities Act, which would have directed the Education Department to provide funding for school districts to cover the costs of STEM education activities for girls and children from racial minorities. Harris supports increasing Title I funding, changing the Title I formula to be “more equitable,” and incentivizing states to increase spending on schools. The current national outlay of $927 billion on government schools will easily top $1 trillion if Harris gets her way.
In November 2019, Harris proposed offering federal funds to encourage schools to add after-school programming to accommodate working families’ schedules.
When running for president in 2020, Harris said she would work to cut child poverty by 50% in her first term. Her proposed strategies included expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit and the Child Tax Credit and boosting food stamp benefits for children.
Most recently, Harris inanely proclaimed, “And yet, today, extremists pass book bans – book bans, in this year of our Lord 2024 – while they also try to erase, overlook, and rewrite the ugly parts of our past.”
It’s no surprise that she is the darling of the teachers’ unions. She maintains that public school teachers earn 11% less than professionals with similar educations.” To address the situation, which Harris claimed in 2019 is “creating disastrous consequences,” proposed providing the “average teacher” with a $13,500 raise, with states being forced to add $1 to the pot for every $3 the feds throw in.
The cost of Harris’ teacher pay plan would be prohibitive. As Mike Antonucci explains, the raise would cost taxpayers about $42 billion a year. Not only that, but teacher pensions are typically based on average salary over a period of time, and Harris’ scheme would greatly stress already underfunded state pension systems.
It’s worth noting that the above assertions are erroneous when looking at what teachers really make. As Just Facts notes, in the 2021–22 school year, the average school teacher in the U.S. made $66,397 in salary but received another $34,090 in benefits (such as health insurance, paid leave, and pensions) for a total compensation of $100,487.
Additionally, full-time public school teachers work an average of 1,490 hours per year, including time spent on lesson preparation, test construction, and grading, providing extra help to students, coaching, and other activities, while their counterparts in private industry work an average of 2,045 hours per year, or about 37% more than public school teachers.
Overall, with various perks included, a teacher makes an average of $68.85 per hour, whereas a private sector worker makes about $40 per hour.
The National Education Association, the nation’s largest union, announced its endorsement of Harris on July 24. The following day, Harris gave a rip-roaring speech at the American Federation of Teachers convention, in which she trotted out a bevy of bromides that warmed the cockles of the unionistas’ hearts.
“While you (the teachers) teach about our nation’s past, these extremists attack the freedom to learn, and to acknowledge our nation’s full history, including book bans,” she declared. “We want to ban assault weapons, and they want to ban books.”
Harris doubled down on the Biden administration’s ambitious efforts to ease the burden of student loan debt by describing a teacher in Philadelphia she met recently who had been paying off her student loan for 20 years but still had $40,000 to pay off, despite being part of the public service loan program that has been in place for years.
“We forgave it all,” she said.
However, as the New York Times reports, Ms. Harris’s speech to the AFT ignored several crucial education issues that could put her on shaky political ground, and that Republicans are ready to pounce on them.
She avoided discussing the horrific damage caused by the pandemic-era school closures, which were dictated by the teachers’ unions. She did not address whether families should have greater access to charter schools, private school choice, or public funds for homeschooling—all popular options that the unions falsely claim reduce funding for traditional public schools. Harris also never alluded to the rampant antisemitism and stifling of free speech on college campuses that the teachers’ unions haven’t addressed.
Harris in charge means the acceleration of America’s descent into an authoritarian, woke, and socialist hellhole.
I’m a female and I don’t want to vote for this female Kamala for President. She’s a shield bearer for the party not a leader of thinking citizens.
The significance of the passage of time, right? The significance of the passage of time. So when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time. There is such great significance to the passage of time.
“Base load affected facilities that follow the CCS pathway must meet a second phase standard based on 90% capture of CO2, using CCS, by 2035”
“Baseload affected facilities that follow the low-GHG hydrogen pathway must meet a second phase standard based on co-firing 30% low-GHG hydrogen by volume by 2032 and a third phase standard based on cofiring 96% by volume low-GHG hydrogen by 2038”
“must”
Imagine what your future electric bills are going to look like under Kamala and her successors.
Almost all American households get electric bills.
Kamala shows her true colors on The Big Issues.
At a December 2017 presser, then-Sen Kamala Harris fumed
<><>she tyranically warned Americans not to say “Merry Christmas”
<><>because permanent status was needed for illegals who came here as children.
<><>Kamala trooped out speakers who pushed for the Dream Act,
<><>Christmas was verboten b/c a “pathway to citizenship” for illegal minors came first.
“And when we all sing happy tunes, and sing Merry Christmas, and wish each other Merry Christmas, these children are not going to have a Merry Christmas. How dare we speak Merry Christmas. How dare we? They will not have a Merry Christmas,” Harris nagged in a video obtained by Fox News Digital.

As usual the bleeding heart Marxist had no clue.
These minors are draining the Social Security system.
Reference: A 10-month investigation Scripps News uncovered that every year, thousands of migrant children disappear from their homes shortly after arriving in the U.S. But there is no clear local, state or federal government agency taking responsibility for searching for many of these missing ...Apr 2, 2024
This is so bogus-——the kids arent missing, they are loaned out, passed around to other migrants. to be used in lucrative scams to get tax dollars from S/S and hefty disability checks.
Vindictive Biden overturned Trump’s order to get the DNA of these so-called needy families, to make sure the kids are really theirs.
A common practice by these greedy illegals is getting a crooked doctor to say a kid’s autistic b/c they get hefty SS tax paid benefits every month for the kid.
The maximum possible disability benefit for autism in 2024 is $943 per month for SSI and about $3,822 per month for SSDI. These maximums apply regardless of what condition you have or whether you apply with one condition or multiple. The actual amount received depends on specific circumstances. (Dec 7, 2023)
Disability Living Allowance (DLA) is a key benefit for children under 16 living with disability, including autism. It is assessed according to care needs, and a diagnosis is not required to make a claim. DLA helps cover the extra costs of raising a child with a disability. (Jan 30, 2024)
And it’s a sure bet they invent their “family circumstances.”
Plus senior illegals collect S/S without ever working here and not putting a thin dime into the system.
Kamala Harris did not grow up in a red, white and blue, all-American, flag-waving household.
<><>Kamala has always been an inbred radical.
<><>Kamala grew up in the family of two foreign-born committed Marxists.
<><>Imbued with Marxist philosophy discussed at the dinner table for her entire life.
<><>Equity, and the other components of Critical Race Theory, is who Kamala is.
<><>She deeply believes that it is the job of the state to make things “fair.”
Kamala Harris was birthed of foreign-born parents more Marxist than Bernie Sanders.
She was “officially” declared the Democratic Party’s 2024 candidate for the office of the presidency by a majority of Democratic Party state delegates.
After winning not a single delegate during the 2020 primaries, and not even being on the ballot during the 2024 primaries, Kamala Harris has successfully subverted democracy——the Commie way——to become the Democrats’ presidential candidate with a $350 million war chest.
The WSJ is quite wrong that economic issues decide elections. If that were true, Trump would be coasting to victory. Democrats can win with their coalition of voters who have figured out that they can vote themselves a raise. Obama established the free stuff majority that’s tough to beat.
Only four of VP Harris’ initial 71 staff hires remain; a shocking 92% staff turnover rate.
The rest either quit or were fired, according to non-partisan fiscal watchdog “Open The Books.”
Signs of a toxic workplace?
Or does Kamala have a hidden agenda?
Fiscal watchdog “Open The Books’” investigation revealed a $2 million plus discrepancy in Harris’ allocation of taxpayer dollars. OTB calculated that for VP Harris’s 28 staff listed in the Senate report, the 2021 salaries added up to $2,334,223. But the vice president’s office “got $5 million for 23 full time staff in 2021 and requested over $6 million for 27 full time staff in 2022.
Harris’ office reportedly refused to answer any questions from OTB regarding this inconsistency. OTB said Harris’ office is a “revolving door” where there’s a perpetual staff exodus of key aides heading for the exits.......that might correspond to the $2 million discrepancy in her tax-paid payroll.
Payroll fraud entails serious crimes.......falsifying govt documents, misappropriation of tax dollars, skimming, larceny, check tampering, check kiting, billing fraud, payroll fraud, reimbursement fraud, pension fraud, misuse of tax dollars, theft of tax dollars, ID fraud, Social Security swindles, IRS fraud.

BTTT
If Harris was a good candidate with a good track record, she wouldn’t be hiding from actual interactions and questions. Period.
4 of 71 staffers remain. So, 67 of 71 have left. That’s a 94.4% exit rate, not 92%.
"When Democratic string pullers decided that Joe Biden was unfit to run again, Harris became the obvious—if not best—choice."
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Given the zero tolerance, "hair trigger" wording of Section 2 of the 14th Amendment, that section a penalty for states where ballot box fraud has occurred, when desperate elite Democrats panicked and unilaterally did the Harris switcharoo because of OBiden's disastrous debate performance with Trump after Democratic voters had overwhelmingly elected OBiden in the primaries, they unthinkingly violated (blatantly ignored?) that section by doing so imo.
"But when the right to vote at any election"
"is denied to any"
"or in any way abridged,"
"Section 2: Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election [all emphases added] for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State." [Apportionment of Representatives]
"Section 5 of 14A: The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."
With Section 2 in mind, consider that if this were a better world, the feds would be reminding all states before an election that the feds will be darkening the doorway of any state to investigate allegations of possible violations of constitutional voting integrity protections.
Since worthless, career federal lawmakers and renegade states have repeatedly proven that they are enemies of the people imo, it is now up to Democratic and Republican Trump supporters to effectively "impeach and remove" ALL (exceptions?) state and federal lawmakers and executives in November.
Patriots need to support hopeful Trump 47 with a new, Constitution-respecting Congress, new state lawmakers too, not only so that he will not be a lame duck president from the first day of his second term, but will support him to quickly finish draining the swamp.
Finally, let's not allow the anti-Trump media try to fade our memories of what we witnessed on July 13.
Down the Memory Hole: Google Hides Autocomplete Suggestions Related to Trump Assassination Attempt (7.28.24)
It is most likely that Kamal-Ho will be the left’s candidate. The reasons are many ... puppet, figurehead, etc. She is an idiot and supremely unqualified to serve in any public office. But here is my concern. She has such dismal approval numbers it is likely that PDJT winning is a given ... that is if we truly had free and fair elections.
I expect that every method of vote manipulation developed by the left in the last few cycles will be brought to bear this time around. Mail-in ballots with no chain of custody, Rank Choice Vote counting, thousands of un-monitored drop boxes for ballots with thousands of ‘mules’ making deposits hourly, conservative poll watchers being shown the door when the counting is conducted, vote counting extended for days or weeks until the ‘correct’ tallies are logged, etc.
It is mind boggling to review the number of methods the left has developed for cheating / stealing an election. I truly fear that the only way to break the cycle will be for a significant numbers of the developers of these cheating methods (and their acolytes) to pay the ultimate price for their treason.
a lot of passage of gas passed along with that passage on the passage of time passing. time no one will ever get back.
Honest count: Trump had at least 74 million votes to 2020 Biden’s at most 59 million live voters, plus 22 million printed ballots, multiply scanned ballots, etc. Trump will pull at least another 7 million to get to 81 million Biden/Harris 59 million minus 7 million. Biden/Harris needs to win by at least 2 million votes, more likely 6 million votes, possibly 10 million votes. Using 6 million, that’s 87 million votes vs 52 million actual votes, a 35 million vote discrepancy. Dems are overpolled to account for the 22 million phantom votes from 2020, so it seems closer. But coming up with another 13 million phantom votes will take Venezuelan 2024 levels of electoral fraud.
That’s why the Dems keep asking whether Trump will honor a fake count giving Biden/Harris a reported win, should Red States flip Blue at 2-4 am one more time. It only took 250,000 magic bullets/ I mean ballots 2-4 am in 2020. So I’d expect the count to go dark in the critical states at about 10-11 pm, not 2 am, in order to report the ridiculous at 4 am. Note that ‘critical states’ in 2024 may include all but the District and Massachusetts. See the Schwab outage today for a trial run.
If the DemocRATS actually wanted Kamala to be President, they would’ve had potato-head resign... They didn’t.
That tells you all you to know about how much the DemocRATs love Kamala. What they’d really love is to see her lose so they can field their ‘real’ candidate in 2028.
‘Barring a possible but unlikely “October surprise,”’
Named Michelle?
.....I dunno......I hate to say it but I think this five-year-old brain in a woman’s body could pull it off....the Trump campaign needs to concentrate on the issues, and keep Sir Donald from engendering much ill will, e.g., his unnecessary attacks on Georgia’s Governor Kemp and his wife...Georgia and Pennsylvania are two states Trump absolutely has to win...
