Remember the 2012 DNC? The guy on the street interview? “We all have to belong to something, so why not belong to the government?” while I was screaming at the screen “Some of us prefer to be self-owned and not slaves!” Funny times. It appears many women — not all but many — particularly the exquisitely indoctrinated ones think they must belong to “women” and that by virtue of being born “female” they owe some kind of allegiance to other people born with a vagina. And that goes double, with a cherry on top if they also happen to tan....

A new Rasmussen poll taken before the assassination attempt on President Trump and the resignation from the 2024 Democrat ticket by Joe Biden shows a shocking result. The poll shows the top issues still remain the economy (27%) and the border (20%). However, the demographic polled is interesting. Rasmussen also asked 2,466 the typical questions in an election year poll, however, they also asked about citizenship status. Respondents either answered “Yes,” “No,” or “Not sure.” Out of 2,466 respondents, 131 responded with “No” and 91 responded “Not sure” regarding their citizenship. This accounts for just over 9% of those polled...

This is the summer of media discontent. Ever since the debate debacle, which exposed Joe Biden as the shell of a man the press had been shielding from public exposure, journalists have been struggling. Beyond failed attempts to extricate themselves from that culpability quagmire, there was the way they covered the Trump assassination attempt, dealing with the GOP convention, Biden’s COVID disappearance, the turmoil in the Democratic Party, and then the ultimate departure of President Silveralert from the ticket.This week, as they were eager to elevate Kamala Harris into the political stratosphere, we saw yet another attempt by the news...

Kamala Harris becomes the first sitting Vice President to appear on RuPaul's Drag Race

Vice President Kamala Harris—or maybe we should refer to her as the co-president now that Joe Biden has quit his reelection campaign and is a lame duck—met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Thursday after pointedly skipping his Wednesday speech to Congress.She put on her "serious face" as they shook hands and could barely work up a smile:The White House spent DAYS hyping up Kamala Harris’ meeting with Netanyahu, then kicked the press out after *literally* 14 secondsTrump never did this BS. pic.twitter.com/0tzZiZKxfO— Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) July 25, 2024Although she claimed that Israel has the full support of the United...

Pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel protesters are bluntly warning President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris that they don’t trust either of them - and that neither should take their vote for granted. This was a rude wake-up call especially for Harris, who currently is basking in the sunshine as the presumptive and only Democratic Presidential candidate. The protesters organized a loud and boisterous anti-Israel demonstration outside the Capitol Building, where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was preparing to address a Joint Session of Congress for the fourth time. After the rally, violence erupted. It included attacks on the Capitol Police, the...

On Wednesday, the prime minister of Israel visited the United States to address Congress nearly 10 months after Palestinian soldiers broke a ceasefire, invaded Israel, raped and murdered 1,200 civilians, and kidnapped 240 others. On top of these international war crimes, the soldiers were dressed as civilians. Democrats snubbed Bibi. Biden, Kamala and Blinken were too chickenshit to greet him and his delegation of Israeli former hostages and families of the hostages. The U.S. government’s official policy now is to abandon Americans held hostage by the Hamas kidnappers. Half the Democrats in Congress refused to show up for his address....

Are you not entertained? Modern America is an amusement park in which voters are wowed with dizzying rides, funhouse mirrors, macabre horrors, and unexpected scares. It is filled with plot twists and cliffhangers that keep Americans on the edge of their seats. Expectations are built up like an inflated water balloon until a sudden explosion triggers surprise and regret. A manufactured cycle of psychological highs and lows keeps Americans’ attention directed toward anything that is glamorous and away from everything that matters. Consider the roller coaster we’ve all been riding at higher and higher rates of speed and evermore-dangerous heights...

The campaign...

According to two recent overnight polls, Kamala Harris' popularity as a presidential candidate plunged with Hispanic voters compared to Democratic candidates in recent years. A Forbes / HarrisX survey has put Harris tied at 39 percent with former President Donald Trump. The Friday, July 19 through Sunday, July 21 poll was conducted prior to Biden's withdrawal from the race, making Harris still a prospective candidate in the survey of 2,753 registered voters, with a margin of error of 1.9 points.The record-low favorability among Hispanics is reflected in a second poll from Quinnipiac University, which also places Harris at 39 percent...

With more than enough delegates pledged to Kamala Harris along with top Democrat endorsements from Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Hillary Clinton, and others, it seems all but inevitable. The current vice president will be the Democratic Party nominee following Joe Biden's decision to step aside. The immediate reaction from the right, including myself, was largely one of mockery. We posted the videos. We laughed at the memes. We pointed out that Trump still bests Harris in most polls. To be sure, there's nothing wrong with that. Everything said about her awkward, inauthentic presentation is true, and Trump is still the...

Black Lives Matter (BLM) urged the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to organize a nationwide virtual primary on Tuesday after Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly secured enough delegates for the Democratic presidential nomination. Harris claimed early Tuesday morning that she had obtained enough support from DNC delegates to be voted the party’s presidential nominee, following President Joe Biden stepping down from the race and endorsing Harris. BLM, which exploded in prominence following the death of George Floyd in 2020, said in a statement that while President Joe Biden wasn’t their top choice as a candidate, they cannot overlook the concerning actions...

First of all, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa, yes, I did a quick house cleaning yesterday. Forgive me, readers, for I cleaned, and as we all know when I clean things go weird. Not that this is all that weird, except for the fact that it has all the appearance of a palace coup. As in, one does wonder if Biden knows he dropped out of his campaign. One does wonder, at that, if Biden is alive, or sufficiently compus mentis to know that he has dropped out. And that’s if he knew he was running in the first place,...

The top Democrats have been flipping out since the debate, seeing their chances to win slipping away and finally being successful in pushing a very reluctant Joe Biden out of the 2024 race. They were losing in the polls with Biden, which is why they did it. It wasn't because they suddenly realized he was incoherent. It's all about holding onto control. They're all fearful of former President Donald Trump coming in, not because they really think he's a "threat to democracy" but because they fear he might actually start holding people accountable. So they threw Biden under the bus...

Many Republicans were hoping that former President Donald Trump would face President Biden in November because there were obvious signs, such as polling in swing states and big donors fleeing from the Democrat party, that Trump would become the 47th President of the United States if Biden became the party's nominee.That changed Sunday when Biden announced on X that he would end his reelection bid but finish his term as president. He added that he endorses Harris as the Democrat nominee. Several other prominent Democrats have advocated for Kamala to be the nominee, and assuming she will be, here are...

The federal government ran another big deficit in June, as the national debt inches closer to $35 trillion.$35 trillion USD.Trillion with a 'T.' That's an unfathomable number. It's meaningless to most people. We simply can't comprehend a number that big.Let's try to put the $34.9 trillion national debt into perspective.According to the National Debt Clock, every American citizen would have to write a check for $103,565 to pay off the national debt. Of course, a lot of people don't pay taxes. That means the taxpayer burden is much higher. Every U.S. taxpayer would have to write a check for $266,953...

I’ve argued previously that former first lady and twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton would like one more bite at the apple, and as Biden’s reelection candidacy implodes, her name has popped up once again. Frankly, I’m surprised it’s taken this long.The Hill opinion contributor Pablo O’Hana thinks Rodham Clinton is just the woman who can save the president’s chances:“But who?” The strongest argument against replacing President Joe Biden as the 2024 Democratic nominee is the notion that no suitable successor exists. But there is, and not just a good one but one of the most qualified people ever to run...
