Kamala Harris has pledged to legalise recreational marijuana and create “forgivable” loans in a bid to win black men’s votes after Barack Obama said some “aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as President”. The Mail has more.
Kamala Harris has launched a series of measures to shore up the votes of black men amid fears they may not turn out for her on Election Day.
It comes as polls showed her level of support among black men lower than that of Joe Biden in 2020 and Hillary Clinton in 2016.
A New York Times poll last week showed 70% of black male voters backing Harris, and 20% Donald Trump.
Harris’ figure was significantly down from the 85% who backed Joe Biden in 2020.
In a stark intervention last week Barack Obama urged black men to vote for the Democratic nominee.
Harris is now unveiling an “Opportunity Agenda For Black Men”.
Her new plans include providing forgivable business loans for black entrepreneurs, creating more apprenticeships and studying sickle cell and other diseases that disproportionately affect African-American men.
Harris already has said she supports legalising marijuana and her plan calls for working to ensure that black men have opportunities to participate as a “national cannabis industry takes shape”.
She also is calling for better regulating cryptocurrency to protect black men and others who invest in digital assets.
Harris’ move is aimed at attracting the black make vote at a moment when there are growing Democrat fears that some may sit out the election, or vote for her Republican opponent Donald Trump.
Her push comes after former President Barack Obama suggested last week that some black men “aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as President”.
What I’m getting from this is that Democrats see black men as sexist and needing to be induced to vote for a woman via drugs and cash giveaways. Right.
Worth reading in full.
Stop Press: Kamala has been accused of plagiarising from Wikipedia, Martin Luther King and other sources without attribution in her 2009 book Smart on Crime which helped launch her political career.

Too many commentators resolutely refuse to accept that Britain’s destruction has been planned for and has been actively pushed since that satanic Next Tuesday Bliar arrived on the scene. There will be no ‘return to growth’ because growth is not part of the reset / Agenda 2030. This country is being actively and deliberately dismantled and frankly nothing short of a national uprising will stop it. The majority of the population have their heads up their backsides and cannot even imagine what is really going on let alone see any of it. Maybe once the death count starts to rise some will wake up particularly if we have a nasty winter.
The likelihood of a new Scamdemic, which I am sure is on the way, will unfortunately not be enough to waken the masses. Perhaps the blinkers will come off when food shortages and sky high fuel bills start to bite.
Totalitarianism has taken charge. It’s grim now but will become progressively worse as the next few months unfold.
Hear hear, hux. You’re right. Britain is done and has one foot in the knacker’s yard. Meanwhile, I saw this and thought of you as you’re obviously on the same page as the author. None of this will be news to you but may be of interest to other peeps. I keep an open mind but find I still require more evidence to support this theory;
”For many years now I have offered a specific theory on the true agenda behind open border policies in western countries and I believe this theory answers most of questions surrounding illegal immigration.
The common claim within the Liberty Movement is that this is all part of the “Cloward-Piven Strategy”: A social engineering method which uses large scale relocation of migrants into a society in order to destabilize that nation. The goal is to import people with a incompatible or hostile ideology and, eventually, the target culture will break down and be forced to accept a new system of governance (i.e. from free markets and liberty to communism and slavery).
If western populations are unified in opposing the globalist ideology then the task of deconstruction becomes impossible for them. So, they simply destroy the west from within by introducing millions of people that will NEVER assimilate or unify.
My theory goes beyond the Cloward-Piven explanation, though.
I think there is a deeper and even more sinister purpose to the introduction of third world migrants to the US and Europe.
I summarized my position in my article ‘Cultural Replacement: Why The Immigration Crisis Is Being Deliberately Engineered’ published in January. I noted:
In other words, my argument was that migrants from the third-world are not merely being used as unwitting tools for cultural saturation of the west. They’re not being shipped in by the millions to simply live off the fruits of our labor and our ancestors’ labors. I believe they are being brought into the US, the UK and Europe as enforcers for the establishment.
Think about it – They are essentially bought and paid for. They are mercenaries recruited with offers of easy citizenship, government handouts and the opportunity to brutalize the very western (and generally white) populations they despise. And, they are allowed to do this while hiding behind government law enforcement agencies for protection.
Third world migrants are hired muscle for the political elites. They can terrorize the populace, and if the native population takes action to defend itself the government can step in, call them hateful racists and declare martial law. It’s a win-win. The migrants then help with the enforcement of that martial law as the government doubles down on two-tier policing.”

Thanks Mogs. This is exactly the drum I have been banging for many months now.
Also, remember the short clip in Ireland of the lady being escorted off the land by a couple of balaclava-wearing heavies with foreign accents? Maybe they were Georgian. Why is there a load of Georgian migrants in Ireland?
”Another military style plantation full of foreign men. This site is run by Georgians and in particular self proclaimed Georgian Mafia member, Ilia Mtsariashvili.
Ireland is under attack and our politicians and authorities are enabling it.”

Yes it seems the government are enabling it, going by this screen shot;
”As the Gardai continue to assault members of the public who engage in protest surrounding the illegal entry into the country of economic migrants who proclaim to be “refugees”
The Government is busy making sure Ireland is a destination of choice for these economic migrants, as they introduce laws to recognise foreign drivers licences from places like Georgia
This country is already unrecognisable from what it was 20 years ago, however, I believe the next 5 years will determine the fate of this country for the foreseeable future.”

I am fairly certain I was one of the first here on DS to make the point that the illegals were in fact an army which would be used against the native population. I have been making this point for at least three years. It is so obvious.
“Labour’s policies are, with a few exceptions, growth-destroying”:
Sadly, that has been the case in every period of Labour government in my lifetime. Quangos are one of their worst money-wasting inventions. Yesterday I was contacted by one for what seemed pointless reasons. And they are responsible for so much red tape and
excessive paperwork.
Why would Labour even want to return to economic growth? What benefit would a prosperous, wealthy Britain offer to them? As far as I can see, in order to maximize power, an impoverished population dependent on state handouts is far easier to control.
I have met quite a few Labour voters that wish to end capitalism.
“The best way to destroy the capitalist system [is] to debauch the currency.”
Lenin
Which is why public sector workers are being awarded ridiculous pay rises. The intention is to drive inflation while at the same time stoking unrest.
Too many people are writing off Labour as incompetents but when their actions are viewed as being deliberately destructive everything they do marries up. Same as the Tories who as a party were actively working for their own destruction. It is all so blatant.
“The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation.”
Lenin
The bourgeoise being anyone with the temerity to work to improve their lot.
Oh, I don’t doubt that.
Having spent the first 24 years of my life in a socialist/communist country, at least I know what the workers’ paradise was like. They have yet to discover.
I think that this is what is behind removing the winter fuel allowance and making it means tested. Labour activists around here are pushing pensioners to apply for Pension Credits so that they qualify for the winter fuel allowance, creating another group of people dependant on means tested state handouts. What’s the betting that Labour will then ramp up the cost of domestic gas by shifting some of the costs of implementing net zero from electricity to gas. Then they’ll increase the fuel allowance to compensate for rising fuel bills, but only for the ‘most needy’.
A number of flaws here:
1) Social democracy is not inimical to growth. It is actually ESSENTIAL to it in the modern world.
2) Growth is not a free lunch, it imposes its own externalities as well, particularly upon the environment. It should always be a means to an end, never an end in itself, lest it become an “own goal”. After all, per Edward Abbey, “growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell”, which eventually kills its host.
3) A Monetarily Sovereign government that issues it’s own currency can NEVER default unless they willingly choose to. Even Trump admitted that in a “gaffe” back in 2016, where he literally said “just print the money”.
4) Rodger Mitchell’s “Ten Steps to Prosperity” will get growth going again:

Paging Dr. Firestone!
https://www.josephmfirestone.com/2018/05/28/will-overt-congressional-financing-ocf-cause-more-inflation-than-the-covert-congressional-financing-ccf-method-used-now/
The article in the first link seems to have a puzzling obsession with money/currency. Surely meaningful material prosperity comes principally from work directed at activity that produces things people need or want- innovation and natural resources also play a part but they both involve work. To maximise prosperity you want to construct a system that encourages work, innovation and use of natural resources that produce things people want.

This is a much more involved article than above. It is a very long read but decidedly worth it, allow about thirty minutes. What is outlined and written of about Ireland is clearly being mirrored in England.
If the Davos Deviants, or the ‘Combine’ as John Waters refers to them can subdue Ireland and the English they reckon the rest of the world will be a piece of cake. We are the testing grounds.
You cannot have the Net Zero Lunacy and growth.
Moynihan’s article was spoiled by referencing AstraZeneca and bemoaning its decision to base in Ireland.
It killed thousands and injured millions with its poorly-tested Covid Jab. It should be forced to pay compensation and be bankrupted.
I wonder how Argentina is doing? Will be interesting to see.
