Kamala Harris' crime
Kamala Harris' crime was failure to inform the American people of Joe Biden's mental incapacity, and to invoke the 25th Amendment with the pledge that she would not run for president.
Once again the Constitution is shown to be a worthless barrier of parchment, whose only power to maintain freedom comes from those who assent to it and enforce it. The former is meaningless without the latter.
Invoked a year ago, her candidacy by approbation today would have legitimacy. As it is, it does not.
Instead she kept silent until just the right moment, in order to grasp the ring presented to her by a political party which cared nothing for the primary votes of millions of Joe Biden's supporters.
Democracy has been murdered in broad daylight by Democrats, and y'all just stand by and film it.
She is a usurper, a power hungry snake, without an ounce of integrity.
You will rue the day you elect her president.
O baseness to support a tyrant throne,
And crush your freeborn brethren of the world!
Nay, to become a part of usurpation,
T' espouse the tyrant's person and her crimes.
-- John Dryden
Inflation is over, gold hits new high lol
CNN: The war on inflation has been won. It’s OK if you’re still angry
The headline inflation reading falling below 3% for the first time since 2021 is incredible.
CNBC: Gold rallies to record high on softer dollar, rate-cut expectations
Spot gold was up 1.5% to $2,493.66 per ounce after hitting a record high of $2,500.99 earlier. U.S. gold futures rose 1.6% to $2,532.10. Bullion has risen 2.6% this week.

Real Clear Politics' No Toss-Ups Map moves AZ to Harris, Trump Electoral College lead shrinks again: 276-262
Virginia, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Arizona have all shifted to DEM in the polling averages since Biden endorsed Harris on July 21st.
Here.
Apparently The Washington Post is trying to make itself look reasonable with actual journalism because it lost $77 million last year?
I mean, they predicted a $100 million loss, so it wasn't THAT bad, right?
Jeff Bezos paid $250 million for WaPo in 2013.
But I don't think $77 million really matters to Jeff Bezos.
Sum ting else wong.
Just listen to this from Kamala Harris on September 6, 2019, how she relishes the POWer to ruin someone's life with the stroke of a pen, and that Donald Trump doesn't understand what it means to have that power like she does
Here.
If that doesn't scare you, I don't know what does. Democrats rejected her candidacy in 2019, maybe because they perceived a General.
The clip doesn't include the comment about Trump.
See C-SPAN here starting at the 18:00 mark or so for the full context.
Another salvo at Kamala Harris: WaPo editorial board calls her anti-big business proposals populist gimmicks, says her first-time home buyer $25,000 down-payment plan will increase housing prices
The whole thing makes sense, which is surprising coming as it does from The Washington Post, which ends this way:
[Even] her [good] ideas would cost money, yet she insisted in her speech that she would hold to President Joe Biden’s pledge not to raise taxes on any household earning $400,000 or less annually. That excludes 80 percent of taxable income, and does not take into account the recent surge in families earning over $400,000. The Harris campaign says it plans to raise revenue to cover these costs but did not provide specific offsets in its economic plan rollout. Without them, Ms. Harris’s full plan would add $1.7 trillion to federal deficits over a decade, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a nonpartisan budget watchdog.
To be sure, every campaign makes expensive promises that will never come to pass, especially with a divided Congress. Remember Mr. Biden’s pledge to make community college free? Even adjusted for the pandering standards of campaign economics, however, Ms. Harris’s speech Friday ranks as a disappointment.
Wow.
What's that old saying, When you're a liberal and you've lost The Washington Post, you've already lost?
Well ......................................................................................... is the Democrat Party still liberal though?

Catherine Rampell at WaPo, who is no friend of the right: It’s hard to exaggerate how bad Kamala Harris’s price-gouging proposal is, a bunch of communist, economic gibberish
It’s hard to exaggerate how bad this policy is.
It is, in all but name, a sweeping set of government-enforced price controls across every industry, not only food.
Supply and demand would no longer determine prices or profit levels.
Far-off Washington bureaucrats would.
The FTC would be able to tell, say, a Kroger in Ohio the acceptable price it can charge for milk.
At best, this would lead to shortages, black markets and hoarding, among other distortions seen previous times countries tried to limit price growth by fiat. (There’s a reason narrower “price gouging” laws that exist in some U.S. states are rarely invoked.)
At worst, it might accidentally raise prices. ...
If your opponent claims you’re a “communist,” maybe don’t start with an economic agenda that can (accurately) be labeled as federal price controls. We already have plenty of economic gibberish . . ..

Harris is 0-2.
She picked a terrible VP who is as far to the left as she is.
Now her first policy announcement is a throwback to the 5-year plans of the USSR.
Extremely inauspicious.

Paragraph 12
The number of protesters chanting and bearing banners and signs drawing attention to Israel’s military offensive on Gaza outnumbered the party loyalists at the Harris-Walz rally.

CNN says Tim Walz lied about his DUI arrest during his 2006 campaign for a US House seat
First ABC News about his military service, now CNN about this.
https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/15/politics/tim-walz-2006-campaign-falsely-described-dwi-kfile/index.html
ABC News says Tim Walz didn't deny he served in Afghanistan, appears to have known his unit would be deployed, and repeatedly referred to himself for years with a rank he didn't have
In early 2016, Tim Walz sat down with CSPAN for a bipartisan discussion about his opposition to President Barack Obama's push to reduce troop levels overseas. To begin the panel, the host introduced Walz -- at the time in his fifth term as a U.S. representative -- in part by incorrectly outlining his military service.
"Enlisted in the Army National Guard at 17 and retired 24 years later as Command Sergeant Major," she said of Walz, "and served with his battalion in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan."
Walz nodded in agreement at that statement -- despite the fact that, according to military records and his own admission, he had never served in Afghanistan. ...
These inaccuracies, which at times went uncorrected, include Walz not denying the statement that he served in Afghanistan, and Walz repeatedly saying that he retired with a rank he achieved but did not retire with, as well as an instance in 2018 of Walz claiming that he carried weapons of war "in war," about which the Harris-Walz campaign said that he misspoke. ...
Walz appears to have been aware prior to his retirement that his unit was under consideration for deployment. ...
In the National Guard, Walz began serving as command sergeant major, a leadership position, in 2004, and was officially appointed to the role in April 2005, shortly before he retired from service, according to a statement from Army Col. Ruan Cochran. However Walz did not remain in the role long enough to keep the title in retirement.
Still, Walz repeatedly referred to himself as a "retired command sergeant major" for years.

Kamala Harris is nothing but an authoritarian, a cop, whose first instinct is to use federal power to ban things she doesn't like, such as grocery prices, guns, and hate speech
