EXCELLENT article, Glenn: OFF it goes to people I know (and used to like!) who are planning on voting for the communist!

Good for you! Don’t let yourself be discouraged by Jack Hennessey’s comment, below, although I fear he’s right.

Hey, BK: I also fear "Jack" is correct! I was totally surprised by folks I thought I knew, here in Central PA, voting for Camel-A, because of Jan 6th and other spurious reasons. One is a handyman whom I will (silently) never have work done at our home again!

BUT, if folks ONLY access to news is network TV, they really need to research the facts, which they never do! Even some Air Guard buddies, all of whom are college degreed, are voting for Harris as they hate Trump and think he's immoral! Guess he needed to sleep with politicians, as opposed to hookers!

Glenn, all is true. But half the people don't know all this, and if they did they wouldn't care. They will vote for Kommy Harris no matter what. I am preparing for the worst.

I’m surrounded by the same kind of people. I like to think that there’s more of us than of them, but then there’s the specter of election fraud looming over us.

Who’s doing the math?

And so is Warren Buffett, preparing for the worst, who will be voting for Kommy.

Glenn the missing person on the right in the photo is Nikolai Yezhov aka “The Poison Dwarf” who was Stalin’s head of the NKVD from 1936-38. Yezhov was barely 5 feet tall and was purged when Stalin decided he was of no more use to him. Yezhov was shot in early 1940.

Shouldn't that picture be the other way? Stalin should be the purged one with only the new & improved MAGA Kamala remaining.

I think that this is a phenomenon happening all over the country. If you see any of the Jon Tester ads in Montana, you could be forgiven for thinking that he was a MAGA Republican too. He voted for nearly 100% of the Biden agenda, but he now seems to repudiate all of it.

What they really mean when they say "Medicare for All" is "Medicaid for All". Most people who aren't retirees don't understand how complex Medicare really is. The socialist kids imagine a system where you can walk into any hospital or doctors office and there's no bills or paperwork whatsoever, like they think Europe is. That's not Medicare.

She's probably supporting the wall because she's seen the polls, but know that Walz has already promised a federal program to place ladders along it.

"Mandatory buy-back". Ya gotta love that form of "forced volunteerism".

The "no tax on tips" thing is dumb. If they do that, I'm going to only work for tips from then on, which will really boost my impending retirement. Most of my clients will be happy to do that suitable discount. (nod, wink)

The wealth tax thing is just other carrot for the perpetually suckered far Bernie/Liz wing. Considering where the Democratic Party gets most of its big bux from since the Clinton era, it's just empty talk that will never come to a vote.

Price controls: Worked great for Nixon. Except for the collateral damage, I wish they'd try this for a few months so everyone can see what happens when you remove all incentive to produce. It only took a few months for Nixon/Ford to find that out.

Everything about Kamala is phony. Off-script, she's as sentient as Biden without the senility excuse. We'll be lucky to get a single debate out of her. If Trump could keep his ego in check, it would probably be the end of her just as Biden's debate performance did him in.

John:

Did you see where Montana athletes have been offered MONEY to speak glowing endorsements of Tester? Part of their NIL funds! THAT needs to be exposed, although Tester's camp claims to know nothing about it.

Also, is it even LEGAL for an admin to REPLACE health insurance without Congressional laws to that effect? Many folks, myself included, took a slightly lower paying job for the benefits, mainly retirement and health bennies. Same with military retirement. I know your standing with Soc. Sec. CANNOT be changed after age 55 for that reason, PLUS, Congress (according to my understanding of the Constitution---attorneys should correct me here--) can pass no retroactive laws(?)

I've been saying that "Jon Tester is California's Choice for Montana". Last week, my BIL got a hand-written postcard endorsing Tester and all the wonderful stuff he's done, like the Inflation Reduction Act! Seriously. But the best part? The postcard was postmarked at San Francisco!

Of course 99% of the stuff Kamala has floated cannot be done by any President, much less Congress without Constitutional changes. But that never stopped Biden, right? The Supreme Court just knocked down another one of his student loan buyoff plans. The problem is with Democrat voters who doing get it that no President can deliver on most of these pie-in-the-sky schemes.

Kamala Harris has never held elected office.

Maybe I'm missing some clever word play here, but Kammie:

*was elected District Attorney for San Francisco,

*was elected California Attorney General,

*was elected US Senator for California, and

*was elected US Vice President.

Each is an elected office.

As a native California resident (although right now I am living temporarily as an ex pat in The Philippines) I can say with certainty that Kamala Harris has never, ever had to appeal to any center-right or even independents here in the very tarnished and once golden State. It is precisely because of politicians just like Kamala Harris, and her ilk, that California is turning into a third world banana republic.

Harris came out of the Marxist swamp that is San Francisco politics. For a really good background story about the history of the S.F. political swamp, consider reading this excellent 2018 book “Cult City: Jim Jones, Harvey Milk, and 10 Days That Shook San Francisco” … reference and review at:

https://www.dailywire.com/news/book-review-cult-city-daniel-j-flynn-jacob-airey

Indeed … Kamala flips and flops, especially noteworthy were her early bedroom acrobatics when she got her start in Democrat politics as then S.F. Mayor and former CA Speaker Willie Brown’s personal lap-doll. Her acrobatic skills in Willie’s bed seem to have easily transferred over to her now political gymnastics skill set as she is going for the ultimate WH brass-ring, all without even earning a single primary vote.

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/1014836/kamala-harris-launched-political-career-with-120k-patronage-job-from-boyfriend-willie-brown/

A few other things to consider from my California (conservative) perspective …

As S.F. District Attorney, Harris oversaw a S.F. crime lab that was subject to major scandals and evidence tampering. Yet her status as a Democrat in good standing left Kamala unscathed politically, because Democrats will always take care of their own.

See: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/how-a-crime-lab-scandal-shook-kamala-harris-s-district-attorney-office/ar-BB1qBRXQ

Despite this S.F. scandal, the California Democrat machine punched her ticket anyways and the majority of left coast low information voters out here moved her up the food chain to become the state’s Attorney General.

Here is a real chink in her political armor. Despite being a gun control freak, Harris was even more of an anti-death penalty zealot as she declined to seek the death penalty when she prosecuted a psychopathic gangbanger who shot and killed a S.F. police officer and wounded his partner with an AK-47. An AK-47 … a symbol of great antipathy and derision by gun-grabbing Democrats that is only second to the AR-15.

A side note: I find it quite amazing and even baffling that the only thing socialism ever produced that actually works, the Soviet designed AK-47, and the Left wants to ban it! This would seem to be yet another prime example of the progressive movement’s cognitive dissonance. 🤨

Back to S.F. … even then U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein criticized the Harris D.A.’s office for not seeking the death penalty against the cop killer.

See: https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/SAN-FRANCISCO-Police-mourn-hero-who-refused-to-2766747.php

There are more noteworthy Harris hypocrisies and political flips and flops as a prosecutor highlighted in this Cal Matters write-up:

https://calmatters.org/politics/elections/2024/08/kamala-harris-prosecutor-california-san-francisco/

Lastly, there is also the simple fact that Kamala Harris grew up as a red-diaper (doper) baby. Harris’ father was a Marxist economics professor. Even the leftwing Snopes website rates this piece of trivia as TRUE. So, as a girl Harris grew up in the lap of her Marxist father then as a twenty-something ingenue, she moved into the lap of the then sixty-year old Willie Brown.

See: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/harris-father-marxist-economist/

Again to highlight and emphasize … Harris grew up as a red-diaper doper baby (hat tip to the S.F. conservative mensch Michael Savage) and was groomed to go into leftist progressive Democrat politics. She then later got her foot through the bedroom door by sleeping with her political and personal sugar daddy, Willie Brown.

See: https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2003/feb/13/20030213-010933-3430r/

Kamala Harris is a far leftwing extremist. Throughout her political career she has never had to play or appeal to the middle of the spectrum, like between the two 40 yard lines, but instead she has always played close to her own leftwing end zone. This is her comfort zone and she knows nothing else.

Kamala Harris seems to perfectly illustrate this rather famous and spot on quote by the late great Ronaldus Magnus …

“It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.”

― Ronald Reagan

Reference: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/25805-it-has-been-said-that-politics-is-the-second-oldest

Beware of Kamala … she is a political whore who will always return to her Marxist comfort zone.

G’day … and vote this November as if your life depends on it, because it really may just depend on it!
