  • Sally Field Claims Kamala Harris Stands for ‘Democracy’ Despite Not Receiving Any Primary Votes

    Hollywood star Sally Field is claiming Kamala Harris stands for democracy even though she didn’t receive a single vote in the Democratic primary. Sally Field announced her return to social media over the weekend with two Instagram posts. In one, she trashed former President Donald Trump. In the other, she endorsed Kamala Harris, claiming a vote for the Harris-Walz ticket is a vote for “democracy.” “Hope is here,” the Norma Rae actress wrote, later adding: “Vote for our country, our children and grandchildren. Vote for the earth and women and human rights. Vote for democracy. Vote for @kamalaharris and @timwalz...
  • ‘Joy’ and ‘Hope’ in Kamala Harris’s America: Car Insurance Prices up 54%

    Americans are having a hard time finding the “joy” and “hope” that Democrat elites touted during their August convention, as they struggle to pay their bills while the cost of goods skyrockets. This includes car insurance prices, which, under Vice President Kamala Harris’s watch, rose 54 percent. Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show a dramatic rise in car insurance since President Joe Biden and Harris, the latter of whom Democrats have coronated to face off against former President Donald Trump, took office. From January 2021 to July 2024, car insurance rose a tremendous 54 percent. This is just...

    Below is my column in the New York Post on the withdrawal of Robert Kennedy, Jr. from the presidential race and his endorsement of President Donald Trump. Kennedy’s speech resonated with many long-time Democrats who have found themselves estranged from the party. While Kennedy remains an independent, it is a cautionary tale that is being missed in the “joy” theme of the Democrat National Convention. The fact is that new Republicans are often not the product of ideology and association but anxiety and exclusion. Democrats make Republicans. Here is the column: The withdrawal of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from the...
  • Left-Wing New Republic Hails Kamala Harris as ‘Historic’ Figure Surpassing Kennedy, Obama

    Vice President Kamala Harris is “a completely different person than the one most of us had fixed in our mind” and is more than a “female Obama,” according to a glowing portrayal in the New Republic that suggests Harris even surpasses historical Democrat icon former President John F. Kennedy in significance.In a Friday essay, the far-left magazine heaped praise upon presidential hopeful Kamala Harris, positioning her as a transformative figure who unexpectedly unified the Democratic Party following her DNC speech accepting the party’s nomination without having received a single vote.

    The New York Times ^ | Aug. 24, 2024, 7:00 a.m. ET | Binyamin Appelbaum
    This isn’t a policy election. There’s no defining issue like tax cuts in 2000 or health care in 2008 or trade in 2016. Democrats are focused on convincing voters that Donald Trump poses an existential threat to the American way of life, and vice versa. But policy remains the purpose of politics, and the choice of a president is also the choice of a housing policy. Kamala Harris has a plan to address the nation’s housing crisis. Donald Trump (kind of) has one, too. And the differences say a lot about the two candidates. Housing prices across the country have...

    NY Post ^ | 8/23/24 | Joe Concha
    All icing and no cake. That’s the only way to describe the Democratic National Convention that mercifully ended Thursday night with Kamala Harris’s acceptance speech as the party’s improbable nominee. The icing, of course, was all the joy shoved down America’s collective throats from Chicago, a city where more than two dozen have been shot since the convention began, all without a care in the world about the state of the country. On Night Three alone, the word “joy” was said 30 times by various speakers. But that wasn’t close to the word uttered most from podium. Instead, the gold...
  • Palestinian Exclusion Shows the Limits of Kamala Harris’s Politics of Joy

    The Nation ^ | 8/22/24 | Jeet Heer
    The Democratic convention’s giddy vibe shift is shadowed by ongoing war and a failure to hear Palestinian voices. his year’s Democratic National Convention is more likely to be remembered for its giddy mood than for any memorable turns of phrase or innovative policy ideas. Democrats have been on an emotional high ever since Joe Biden withdrew his presidential bid and Kamala Harris was elevated as the party’s presumptive nominee. Suddenly, all the anxiety of the last year—much of it based on a realistic fear that Biden was not up to the job of defeating Donald Trump—evaporated, practically overnight.

    The left-wing New York Times is warning Democrats that “joy” is not a political strategy that will put Vice President Kamala Harris (D) in the White House. Following the Democratic National Convention (DNC), Patrick Healy wrote in his opinion piece that the convention’s message for the nation, if it were to be placed on a bumper sticker, would say “HARRIS IS JOY.” Healy continued: Don’t get me wrong — there are many worse things than joy — but I cringed a little in the convention hall Tuesday night when Bill Clinton said Harris would be “the president of joy.” Joy...

    Did everyone get their fill of 'joy' over the past four days of the Democratic National Convention? What was your most joyful moment? Was it the constant demonizing of (and lying about) Donald Trump? Or maybe it was the gleeful way in which Democrats celebrated abortion, even having a Planned Parenthood bus administering abortions outside the United Center, with no questions asked? We thought millionaire Michelle Obama lecturing Americans about 'not taking too much' was extremely joyous. As was billionaire Oprah Winfrey complaining about all of her experiences with 'income inequality.'

    Breitbart ^ | 08/23/2024 | Hannah Knudsen
    Democrats this week touted their theme of “joy” at their convention, which took place in Chicago this week, but there is nothing joyful about Americans having to pay 14 percent more for airfare in the Biden-Harris America. According to data from the Consumer Price Index (CPI), the cost of airfare has increased 14 percent since both President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris — the latter of whom has been coronated as the top of the ticket candidate, shirking the will of 14 million voters who cast their ballot for Biden — in January 2021. In March 2022, one...

    Vice President Kamala Harris accepted the Democratic presidential nomination on Thursday despite failing to release a policy platform since launching her campaign. Harris headlined the final night of the Democratic National Convention, accepting the nomination that the delegates had voted to give her weeks before in a virtual roll call. The vice president largely spoke about her personal background and attacked former President Donald Trump, while sprinkling in some vague policy positions and campaign themes. “On behalf of everyone whose story could only be written in the greatest nation on earth, I accept your nomination to be president of the...

    Democrat presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris’s economic plan would increase taxes by $5 trillion over ten years, according to Americans for Tax Reform (ATR). Harris’s campaign announced an enormous economic package on Monday that would undo former President Donald Trump’s tax cuts, claiming it would be part of “a fiscally responsible way to put money back in the pockets of working people and ensure billionaires and big corporations pay their fair share.” Trump’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act slashed the corporate tax rate from 35 to 21 percent, lowered income tax rates, and doubled the standard deduction. Harris’s economic...

    Left-wing corporate media’s non-stop defensive coverage of Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris is working, with a new poll from Media Research Center finding more than 70 percent of Democrats are unaware of what Harris’ policy positions are. Media Research Center surveyed 1,200 “registered Democrats and Independents who voted for Joe Biden in 2020” and found that on 10 “different aspects of Harris’s public record … between 71% and 86% of these Democrats and Independents said they either had not heard of Harris’s position or were unsure.” Data shows that when it comes to the key issues like immigration and crime,...

    CHICAGO, IL — Attendees at the Democratic National Convention and potential voters watching on television at home were treated to a special historic moment last night, as an angry old man bellowed at them to vote for a happier, brighter future. President Joe Biden was dug out from storage and dusted off to make a brief appearance on the DNC stage, where he ranted irately at viewers and attendees to make their choice in November's presidential election based on happiness and positivity. "CHOOSE JOY!" screamed a red-faced Biden as he repeatedly pounded his fists on the podium. "There is a...

    Congratulations to all of you who supported the Democrats. You won. You should be very proud of yourselves. You won in your singular support of Joe Biden for the presidency. You won in how you attacked any primary candidate who might challenge him, you know, the one guy who told the truth about Biden’s cognitive decline? Dean Phillips? What a terrible person he was for saying the Emperor had no clothes. You did it! You won the primary for Joe Biden. You had an entire press corp - and an army of supporters - to deflect from accusations that there...
