Over the last few months, we Americans have been gobsmacked by the speed at which Team Big Left – Democrat politicians, celebrities, hi-tech moguls with their social media platforms such as Google and Facebook, and the MSM – can create a brand-new election zeitgeist at the drop of a hat. First for Biden, then for his replacement as Democrat Presidential candidate – Harris – and then, just this week, for Harris’s VP pick, Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota. We regret this is not yet an Olympic event as these performances would add yet more gold to our current sackful of medals.
In addition to the pace, we are also amazed at the size of these tasks. These guys started out the year by pushing the corpse-like Biden as “sharp and wise” and one of the most consequential U.S. Presidents ever. Par for the course for Big Left, but then, after the Great Debate, the degree of difficulty went through the roof when they had to take Harris, the worst candidate on their bench, and turn her into a heroine for the ages. Finally this week they now have to go full Simone Biles Yurchenko Double Pike with Harris’s VP pick, the unknown socialist Walz.

My 90 year old mum saw this woman on TV and said “Oh she seems like a nice woman”———-Bless my mum, but she knows nothing about politics. Are 50% of Americans going to do what my mum just did and look at a big toothy smile and vote for that because she “seems like a nice woman”? —-Jeez, as someone once pointed out “The people get the politicians they deserve” They don’t realise that under that toothy smile of Harris or the soothing tones of Obama is this collectivist agenda attempting to take private property and transport away with their “Green New Deal” ————Seeling out America’s wealth to the UN with junk climate science as the excuse.
She smiles so insanely to hide the fact she’s an idiot fraud who can’t even string a sensible, coherent sentence together, then as soon as she opens her pie hole an avalanche of cringe pours out. This is not a good predictor of her ability to run the U.S, and I’m still confident it’s never going to happen. I mean, there’s only so much hiding the fact you’re totally inept and way out of your depth that you can do before you’re called out on it. I used to think she can’t possibly be this dumb given she had a career as a lawyer for years, but I’ve seen so much footage of her now I’ve totally done a 180 on my original opinion. The old, ”fake it ’til you make it” strategy isn’t going to save her ass now.
Meanwhile, this shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone;
”Fact: The vast majority of mentally ill people vote Democrat. 64% of White liberals have been diagnosed with a mental illness.
That’s not a number I made up. It’s self reported via the non-partisan Pew Research survey. I think this explains a lot of things we’re living through.”

Have you seen this one? I watched it one morning and nearly choked on my cornflakes laughing at this ridiculous twit.
https://x.com/i/status/1820569287079465120
LOL, no I didn’t see that one. Even the Leftard women are looking at her funny, like, ”Mmmkaay, crazy lady, you’re convincing no-one but I hate Trump so I have to side with you.” Twitter is bursting at the seams with examples.
Trump obviously knows the score too. Man, when they eventually get to debate ( I think something’s planned for next month ) that’ll break the internet and have the highest viewing figures of all debates ever, in my opinion. He’ll just chew her up and spit her out, no question. She’ll need to up her meds for that one, which will only make her even more embarrassing, if that’s possible.
If she was capable, the real deal and wanted people to take her seriously and silence the critics she would have been doing interviews long before now to instill confidence in the American voters, but I think the only people voting for her are the ones who desperately don’t want Trump to be President again, not because they have any faith in her abilities at all. Anyone can see she’s a walking car crash, not up to the job and totally out of her depth;
”President Trump at Bozeman, Montana rips Kamala Harris for not doing interviews: “Since becoming a Presidential candidate, she has refused to do a single interview. You know why? Because she’s dumb.”
https://x.com/RealMacReport/status/1822119041420382282
It’s no wonder Harris is avoiding doing interviews and is stalling at debating Trump. She’s mad as a badger and is absolutely rubbish at the basic requirement for a presidential candidate of oration;
”This is crazy. Kamabla is just giving the same speech word for word at all these rallies.”

They’re both cringetastic;
https://x.com/kylenabecker/status/1820956607540330909
She can’t even name a rapper who’s alive so she names one that’s dead.
https://x.com/ScottAdamsSays/status/1821976025590591528
She’s slight favourite now in the betting with Paddy Power, at 5/6, Trump 10/11, virtually equal.
When Trump won in 2016 he wasn’t favourite.
It looks like it’s going to be very close, I wonder what will swing it one way or another.
Are Americans really going to vote for this
https://x.com/i/status/1820569287079465120
No, but she’ll win anyway. The result of American elections has nothing to do with who votes for whom.
Sadly true
More to do with what goes on in the early hours, whilst counting is suspended.
But some of those far-right thugs who have been bussed in are stepping up the misinformation, alleging that some thugs have questioned whether Harris is indeed “black”. An important point, allegedly.
But as one wise twitter commenter suggested, this can easily be resolved. Those pulling her strings can just get her to describe herself as a N#####. Then let the black community decide.
60 years ago when I was in secondary school as a V former, we christened such folk as Harris, ‘rectoloquists’:— def’n A person who frequently speaks out of their bottom.
I have no comments on giggly Harris or her chosen Vice President (possibly) to be, and I know it is not the point of the article but there are five paragraphs relating to the current conflict in Gaza so, with all due apologies, I feel obliged to add some comments.
Yes, Hamas fighters broke out of Gaza on 7th October and killed hundreds of Israelis. Since then, Israel has continually bombed and shelled Gaza, resulting (at the last count) in 186,000 dead. Which number is more horrific?
And Hamas committed “industrial scale rape”: really? Sounds like a lot of rape. What about the recent imprisonment of 9 IDF soldiers for sodomizing a Palestinian prisoner? The IDF’s prisons are renowned for torturing, executing and doing what they like with Palestinian prisoners but 9 soldiers were unusually arrested and charged with rape. Why? Because some Israeli surgeons were apparently so disgusted with all the objects they had to retrieve from the poor Palestinian’s backside that someone took action.
What happened then? Then there were riots from mobs supporting the IDF, which eventually resulted in the 9 Israelis being released. Then the Israeli government discussed the matter and decided it was completely OK for Palestinian prisoners to be raped by the IDF. They also discussed the lack of prison beds and whether Palestinians should simply be executed to make more room in the prisons. Lovely people, the Israelis.
In today’s news it is reported the Israelis bombed a school in Gaza, killing 100 women and children. The excuse used was, of course, that Hamas fighters were hiding there. But no matter, just bomb the school anyway. Israel obviously does not believe in SWAT teams or anything similar to force wanted people out, just kill dozens of children, who cares?
And Netanyahu is the one using the “From the river to the sea” phrase to illustrate his idea of the future Israel.
Finally, who cares whether a politician is a Jew or Muslim or whatever? Surely they should be voted for according to what they actually say and what they intend to do once in office, not according to their beliefs.
It would take too long to comment on all things in your post. Just one point, however. The first difference between the horrific mass rape of many many Israeli women and one Palestinian is that, on one hand Hamas said it was job well done, and on the other it is being investigated in Israel despite the tensions that always run high during war. The second is that you are correct that Israel has many voices and views on the war, which is a feature of a democratic society. While Hamas has only one view, again job well done and the only investigation they need seems to be to count their hostages and work on how they can kill and rape more in future. It seems most Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank all support this view.
By all means question what I write but perhaps also question the “solid, unquestionable news” you are reporting: who wrote that news and was it true and unbiased? This is something I sadly started doing when my local newspaper began slamming Donald Trump every single day during his first candidacy: it became clear to me that somebody was trying to convince me of their viewpoint. Ditto all the corona nonsense. For alternative views on the Israeli “war”, take a look at any of the recent https://www.youtube.com/@judgingfreedom videos: they are all your US colleagues reporting. “The Biggest Prison on Earth” is a good book written by the Israeli, Ilan Pappe. Then, of course, decide what is credible and what not.
Good luck with your politicians. May the best man or woman win!
Obviously you care. Or you would not be quoting verbatim Hamas agit-prop, almost all completely ridiculous and entirely mendacious.
I consider all religions to be man-invented but I do not particularly care. If you say “Good morning” to someone, you do not generally follow it up by asking, “Oh, by the way, what is your religion?”. As far as I am concerned, anyone can believe what they wish. And ridiculous and mendacious? Probably, if you only watch CNN or BBC, but otherwise easily checked using other non-MSM sources on the internet.
