Call it two strikes, as Democrats swing wildly to beat Trump-Pence: First Joe Biden, now Kamala Harris. Recent events put me in mind of 1932’s World Series when powerhouse Babe Ruth pointed to the far wall – and slammed a ball out of the park. Playing conditions had to be perfect – and were. They might be again.
First, the Democrats select a presumptive candidate with obvious cognitive problems. He keeps stumbling – without end. Substantively, he seems to represent everything and nothing. If elected, he will fill government top-to-bottom with leftists – and effectively be done.
Strike two? Kamala Harris. Who is she, and why did Biden pick her? She is an ambitious, young, black, female Democrat senator from California, ranked “most liberal” in 2019. See, https://www.foxnews.com/politics/kamala-harris-scored-most-liberal-us-senator-2019.
Her record is stunning – for sacrificing personal integrity and principle for advancement. While having an extramarital affair with a Speaker of the California Assembly, he appointed her to state boards that gave her $400,000. See, https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/01/kamala-harris-life-career-california-senator/. After admitting to helping Harris, the Speaker confided she later threatened to indict him. See, https://www.bizpacreview.com/2019/01/28/willie-brown-says-kamala-harris-threatened-him-with-indictment-after-their-affair-that-helped-launch-her-political-career-718281.
When in vogue, Harris styled herself a “tough prosecutor.” That seemed the ticket. As a district attorney and state attorney general, she charged parents with crimes for truant children, used family-tracking by DNA, pushed to confiscate private property prior to charges (that is, preemptive civil forfeiture), protected illegal immigrants (including felons), yet had a low win percentage and was found by the California Supreme Court to have violated defendants’ rights. See, https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Judge-rips-Harris-office-for-hiding-problems-3263797.php.
As an opponent of gun rights, Harris went after manufacturers, sought to enforce an unconstitutional bar on pictures of guns in retail advertising. Notably, a federal judge in 2018 found the latter effort “unconstitutional on its face.”
Running for president, her campaign derided the 2nd amendment: “If Congress fails to send comprehensive gun safety legislation … within her first 100 days as president—including universal background checks, an assault weapons ban, and repeal of the NRA’s corporate gun manufacturer and dealer immunity bill—she will take executive action … “ See, https://townhall.com/tipsheet/elliebufkin/2020/08/11/in-bid-for-white-house-harris-promised-to-usurp-constitution-in-quest-for-gun-control-n2574165.
While these priorities sync with socialism, the national tone shifted in 2016. Being a prosecutor no longer cut it with the left. Harris swung left. She pushed anti-Trump Russia collusion, impeachment, obstruction of freedoms, anti-law enforcement, pro-illegal aliens, centralization.
Harris joined the socialist parade, in 2018 trying to defund federal law enforcement, including Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). She has since gone along with “defunding” police and refused to condemn violence in 200 cities.
On cue, she favored federalizing healthcare – Medicare-for-All, which economists say would bankrupt the country, and AOC’s socialist “New Green Deal,” massively redistributing wealth. See, https://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2020/august/where-biden-running-mate-kamala-harris-stands-on-policies-like-the-green-new-deal-and-late-term-abortion#:~:text=As%20far%20as%20policies%20go%2C%20Harris%20supports%20%22Medicare,contraception%20coverage%20in%20health%20insurance%20on%20religious%20grounds.
Harris’ record on religious freedom – is horrific. She fought against religious rights of private business owners in Hobby Lobby, promotes abortion up-to- birth, and suggested Catholics may be unfit for the federal bench based on their religious affiliations. See, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burwell_v._Hobby_Lobby_Stores,_Inc.; https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/kamala-harriss-anti-catholic-bigotry/; https://thefederalist.com/2020/08/12/kamala-harris-adds-abortion-extremism-to-democratic-presidential-ticket/.
The last is notable. Harris and fellow lefty Senator Mazie Hirona (D-HI) – who recently denied ANTIFA violence – both condemned Catholics, including judicial nominees, who join the “Knights of Columbus.” See, https://news.yahoo.com/kamala-harris-outrageous-assault-knights-103024721.html.
Harris’ assault on that group is remarkable. John F. Kennedy, running for president as a Catholic in 1960, faced exactly this bigotry. He was a member. While nominally religious, the group was founded to promote “charity, unity, fraternity, and patriotism.”
JFK’s condemnation of Harris-like bigotry would today make him unelectable – at least as a Democrat. Ironically, the KoC fought for patriotism, against the Klan, and included all races. It worked closely with the NAACP to battle racism and bigotry. All that seems lost on Harris.
So why did Biden select Harris? The answer: Biden is aging fast, low on energy. Democrats have shifted hard left – putting all marbles in the socialist basket. Harris represents a young, shameless play to leftists and identity politics. At heart, it is a cynical act. Democrat leaders think Democrat voters – do not think. They imagine them voting blindly for skin color, female gender, dependence – not independence.
The strategy is empty. Strike three is coming. Why? People care about their future, more than voting skin color or gender. Trump defends liberty, and people like it. They want to speak, worship, assemble, travel, work, defend, and avoid government overreach. They are not stupid.
Trump raised the economic wellbeing of men and women of all races, creeds, ages, and dispositions – no interest in differences, only common bonds. He expanded opportunities for self-improvement, rather than punting decisions to government. People like that.
Trump reintroduced leadership abroad, demanding fair trade. At home, he stands for rule of law, not rule by politics. On that principle civil societies stand. He will not defund police. He will protect institutions, citizens, private property – urban, rural, and suburban.
The Harris gambit sets up strike three. Democrats are desperate. Harris checks all Democrat boxes – socialist, malleable, ambitious, vocal, young, black, female, government credentials, anti-religious, pro-abortion, defund police, moral relativist, and vigorously anti-Trump.
They miss hard questions: Do thinking men and women, who rightly consider themselves American first, really vote on skin color or gender? Do those who love individual liberty want socialism? Do those who suffered the Obama-Biden economy want more of that? Do more people vote for fear or facts, dependence or self-reliance, welfare or work, riots or peace?
No, Biden was strike one, and Harris is strike two. If Americans turn up at the polls – strike three for Democrats is coming. And say, wait a minute, I think I see Trump pointing for the far wall.
None of it matters. The Democrats will continue to force universal mail-in balloting. This will be very effective in their quest to steal this and every future election until they are able to complete the destruction of our Republic. Doesn’t matter which clown they nominate. Ballot box stuffing anyone?
A liar and a forgetful buffoon, great combination.
Both presumptive DEMOCRAT nominees for the Pres. and Vice Pres. have mental issues. Joe’s is plainly obvious. Harris’ is obvious when you see comparisons of her speeches side by side where she completely disagrees with herself on various issues. I think Harris is the kind of person who will say anything to win an argument. Stepping back for truth is not in her modus operando. So, i just can’t believe the DEMOCRATs actually plan to run Mr. Biden for the Presidency. I suspect they have something up their sleeve. I think the DEMOCRATs plan to nominate Joe and within a few weeks , let Joe ‘discover’ that he has a mental issue and withdraws’. And at that point, since the DNNC convention is long over, there will be a “vacancy” that only the DNC can fill. So, who do they have in mind ? Who is their secret , stealth, hidden candidate ? Could it be Kasich or Romney, or Whitlessman or Bernie or Hillary or , dare i say it, Tulsi ? Only time will tell. Clearly , Mr. Biden has something mental going on . I know that most DEMOCRAT politicians are crazy . But i also don’t think they’re that crazy .
And what’s all this about “peaceful” “protestors” ? On the same night as the DEMOCRATS were lying to us about the nature of the anarchists , arsonists, and thugs in the streets of Portland , Oregon, those thugs were violently beating innocent passersby . So, while the DEMOCRAT “leaders” are all using the word : peaceful , their “peaceful” “protestors” were beating the crap out of innocent people . DEMOCRATs are LYERS ! !
It’s obvious that Harris expects to be president and I think that’s the plan. We’re all in trouble if President Trump is not re-elected, including the leftists!
Long before selecting Harris it was said a black female would be the running mate. Can you imagine the uproar if it had been said the undecided running mate needed to be a white male only?
It’s really quite shocking that in America ANYONE could support anti gun,anti religion,open border, socialist politicians seeking to ruin Our Country and destroy Our Freedom!
What independent people with a God given common sense and intelligence could EVER vote for this?
Absolutely UNBELIEVABLE
Quote: “Democrat leaders think Democrat voters – do not think.” The leaders are 100% correct. They are cult members and their mantra is “Vote Blue, No Matter Who.” That is not the sign of intelligent voters.
How has the USA come to THIS?! Why has our educational system dropped the ball so often and quit teaching functional history just to teach kids what is on the state ‘How Are We Doing?’ test? Young folks only know what they are taught or learn from other young folks (the old ‘blind leading the blind’ shtik), and apparently that is not much. People with no actual life experience are fixing to trash the USA into oblivion, which is their goal anyway.
I am very concerned about our freedoms in our country! I am hoping that everyone will vote for freedom!!!! Many hero’s have given up their lives and shed their precious blood for our nation. God bless America and our Military and Police!! God bless our medical workers on the front lines!!!
California is a wasteland. I am a native, currently living in Maryland, I remember driving to Monterey, and thinking about how the roads are poorly maintained, and feeling sad for the once wonderful place to live and grow up.
I love a good joke and laugh. These two are two peas in a pod. I wouldn’t be laughing if they were elected however. How sad and just shows how far left the Demo/socialists have gone. Anything to win and anything to transform America into whatever they feel is right for their agenda. Time to pray hard folks! May God help open our fellow American’s eyes.
You know Biden himself didn’t pick her. All the people around him did. He put himself into a corner. Biden, if he had been in his right mind, would have chosen someone like Atlanta’s mayor. She has moral standards at least.
Anyone that will vote for a biden/harris ticket is a UN-AMERICAN, UN-PATRIOTIC IDIOT.
This is the worst Democrat ticket I have seen in my lifetime. I don’t see how any thinking patriotic American with an ounce of common sense could consider voting for them. The most patriotic thing anyone who can’t vote for Trump on election day can do is stay home.
Excellent article with reference points I’ll be using through November.
The hypocrisy from the left continues with her selection. I’m sure Biden didn’t select her and it’s the hope of the dems that she will draw out every socialist/communist and people of color to vote for them. She may draw them out but at the same time she will incite the good Americans to ensure they will not win. November is just around the corner….
Mr. Charles nailed it with this commentary. But, please stop calling them “Democrats.” They are now all Progressive-Socialists.
You are so right on everything you said. The thing is when in a voting booth if you perchance decide to cross parties and say vote for President Trump instead of the demoncrat on the ticket. You are not allowed. Also you can’t in any booth I’ve been in change parties the day of election. Someone needs to look into this.
Trump2020
No American could possibly want this for our country!
Vote straight Republican! These socialist must be stopped to save this beautiful country and live free!
Point-1. With all the Hub Bub about Kamala Harris, and/or Joe Biden being bantered about. The genuine choice for who needs to be/remain President/Vice President of Our United States is a simple one! President Donald J. Trump, and Vice President Mike Pence are the person(s) who are the logical choice, to remain in office, period!.
Point-2. With President Trump, and Vice President Pence winning the the day come November 2020. Along with Genuine Conservative Republicans winning the day, for *Both* the House and Senate; It is only then, that the Leftist-Liberal, Socialist Minded Radicals of the “So Called” Democratic Party, shall be fed their required amount of *crow*!.
Point-3. Once the aforementioned is accomplished, then Our Country can and shall get back to genuinely being, the United States Of America, and To The Republic For Which It (She) Stands; With far less interference from the “So Called” Democratic Party members! What a great time for Our Country this shall be too!.
OMG, Crazy Joe and Kamala the chameleon.are..participant in the hottest Election of the Century???
I would like to sell AMAC take a stand on the last four Executive Orders & if this is in the best interest of country. What if the House/Senate would negotiate & pass bills that are the best for America.
This is a load of hogwash. The only thing Trump is good at is self-promotion. He is not a good businessman, having bankrupted his companies many times due to impulsive and rash decisions. The only thing that saved him from financial ruin is The Apprentice. He is not respected in his own home town of New York. He was overwhelmingly defeated in 2016. It is true that he is thought of as a carnival barker there.
“People… are not stupid.”
I was following you right up to that statement.
I beg to differ. A number–I put it at just about half–of Americans ARE stupid, who believe they can get more “benefits” by voting for someone else to pay for it AND have the country thrive at the same time.
Oh, I used to believe “people are not stupid,” but then I watched them turn out to RE-elect WJC AFTER it was known that all the people at whom they’d been screaming “LIARS!” actually had gotten it right, they, stupidly, pulled the lever indicated anyway.
Just because Molester Joe is a twit does not automatically mean that Trump the Tweeter/Blurter is a genius.
I don’t think the mainstream media will be describing her the way Mr. Charles has in his article. As I have said many times before (since the election of obama) as long as the dimocrats have the media backing them up, many (MANY) people will remain ignorant of the facts right up to the time of the election.
Sad state if affairs when honesty,integrity and American pride were a given for any individuals running to serve this Country in its highest office.
Certainly NOT true for any democrats, biden or harris!!
Their qualifications are dishonesty, division and destruction of the Greatest Country that stands for everything right in this world!
Open borders,selling out America, lawlessness, and elimination of our Constitution is their goal.
Please….its time that the Silent Majority stands up and protect our God given rights, America and Freedom!!
At Trump briefing today, Trump likes deferred payroll tax & stated if reelected by get rid of tax. Right now, employee/employer pay 12.4% of wages up to limit of $137K. SS was put in place in 1935 (85 years ago) & is only income for a lot of Americans. What is plan to just get rid of payroll tax & why does POTUS have so much power that he can fool with taxes that were levied by Congress. Seems like a lot of people did not want this payroll tax to be any part of Stimulus package , but ONE person did with sweep of a pen ??? I care & want Social Security to continue & not be scuttled. If this is issue in 2020 election, that will decide by vote.
This is the greatest opportunity in the nation’s history for the black community, which has endured a lot, to vote for their
true future instead of following propoganda. Lets hope they will see this choice as an opportunity for a serious upgrade
for their lives. Blacks, like all of us, are able to make up their own minds instead of voting as a single bloc.
Harris is an attack pitbull in a small yard with little capacity to get one over on Donald Trump.
There are mega millions more like us on this blog who see Biden-Harris as a total clown show. Trump-Pence in a landslide as
long as, AS LONG AS, we vote. Remember,she could be your president.
Biden should have picked Romney
I disagree. Americans HAVE become STUPID, and they DO vote based on race and gender. Very few Democrats will ever cross over to the Right because they are incapable and unwilling to THINK.
Hit that home run, President Trump!
Must have hit a nerve, as today Trump admitted he is beating on Postal Service to stop the mail-in election in November. Why is he so paranoid about this??? But in 2016 , during last few days he would tell whether he would accept election results. Just said wait and see. After +200 years, why does he claim this will be the most corrupt election ever. Trump, you are President so fix it so that is not corrupt.
Wow, the 1st day & Trump attacks “Mean, Nasty, Angry”. to Kamala. Good thing it was not a Michelle or Meagan. Trump needs to learn to tone down a little on women, or they might play him like a fiddle. Remember Hillary ??
Go Trump Go! 2020
Dear amac she is not black.
There is NO Free Press today! Every Major New Outlet is owned by a small group of Billionaires!! All World, and most local News is controlled by a small Cabal!!! Take-back OUR Country!!! Stand-up for America!!!! Remove Every Democrat!!!!! Demand DOJ file Anti-Trust Lawsuits to brake-up the Cabal!!!!!
Give every Democrat (and Michele) DEPRESSION!! Vote for Donald J. Trump and the straight Republican Ticket!!!!!
We must restore law and order! It must start with making OUR Government Accountable to the People!! Stand-up for America!!!! Remove Every Democrat!!!!!
We must restore law and order! It must start with making OUR Government Accountable to the People!! Stand-up for America!!!! Remove Every Democrat!!!!!
That great sage, Benjamin Franklin, remarked at the end of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia: “I agree to this Constitution … and I believe, further, that this is likely to be well administered for a course of years, and can only end in despotism, as other forms have done before it, when the people shall become so corrupted as to need despotic government, being incapable of any other.” Franklin’s basic philosophy of sound government was that personal and national freedom are in jeopardy if the people become wicked and immoral. He believed that when such behavior becomes widespread and people fear for their lives and property, demands for a police state become almost inevitable so that order might be restored. Remove Every Democrat!!!!!
Have to go, all this is too much for me to deal with. I think the polictos are in the same BS. Just want to not deal with this for the rst of my night, my backs screwed up enough on it’s own with 3 blown disks. Laters Guys.
I’m kinda sorry, I didn’t like putting pot smokers in jail. That’s their life to decide. As for the 2nd Amendment, you can try and take my guns, I like to collect rifles and guns, but they all still work, if needed. I hope it doesn’t get to that point. I wear a mask where ever I go, but to mandate it defeats the purpose. It is a control freaks issue. If people don’t want to wear a mask, well that’s their problem. Right now, I tend to think of it as God thinning the herd, people too stupid not to wear a mask because they won’t get sick (LMAO on that one, I’m a retired doc) is asking to have the herd reduced, but MANDATING MASKS isn’t the way to go. We, at this time, value our freedoms and having government decide what’s best is not a good answer. At the rate everybody is going, everybody should get the Russian’s “vaccine”, we’re so stupid now, it’s like we are sheep for whoever appears stronger. It’s kinda time to get back to where we started.
Plus, weird thing I just saw on AHC today, ya’ll know the KKK was trying to get rid of Republicans because Republicans believed in equal rights. Now we have Joe and Kamala for the Democrats, the people that say they’re progressive, but in reality they could be closet KKK. Start reading history and don’t repeat it.
Biden is just a pupet that they fully expect to deep six once they get him elected, then shoe horn Harris in as Prez. They don’t intend he should ever make the first decision a president. If everyone can’t see that he’s so senile he can’t even get his eyes to focus on the camera. This is all about creating a Marxist State out of this United States, but Trump isn’t helping us either, his USMCA has provisions in it to desecrate our soverienty and do the same thing, just at a slower pace.
I think she was picked because Biden may die or at least become so incompetent that she will actually be running the show! Don’t be so sure people won’t see through that… she’s a woman, black, and far left and the far left will love it. I am very concerned about this election. Everyone must get out and vote.
This is the most important 83 days in our history. I read somewhere that Conservatives need to stop staying in the background. I know I do.
Kamala “Chameleon” Harris was added to the ticket to attack President Trump. The Democrats hope President Trump will take the bait. I hope he can just let her attack go by without responding to them,because if he does the Dems will say he’s racist and doesn’t respect women. She other wise brings nothing to the table, California is a given for the Democrats. She should alienate the Midwest and most of the rest of the country.
America do you want to be Venezuela are do you want Freedom. Choice is ours to make DemoEvilCrats or America! Which will you chose as for me and my house ? it is Trump and Pence!
Let’s make November third the day that strike three is called and the game is over!
