Kamala Harris will be the next U.S. President. NeoCons smile.
As I long predicted, on November 5, the Trump Era in politics ends. It's been fun and fruitful, but the deep state prefers a vapid DEI hire as POTUS to an America 1st "blue-collar billionaire."
Sorry to pop the MAGA bubble, but I sold out of $DJT Wednesday. I am now 1000% convinced Trump will lose again, though the polls and stock performance of $DJT do not yet show this. Here’s my reasoning
This is 2016 in reverse. There is an Obama-like wellspring of “quiet,” lemming-like Harris support not being captured in polls--and indeed not reached by Trump messaging or the glaring weaknesses in Harris herself. This is evidenced by massive early Democratic voting. In the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, 66 percent of the one million-plus early votes have been from Democrats. A mere 28 percent were from the GOP, despite party pleas to vote early. That's a problem, made worse by Trump’s contradictory statements on the legitimacy of mail-in ballots, drop-boxes, and early voting.
It could be fixed, but early voting, ballot harvesting, and the leave-no-voter-behind ground game must massively improve. Those are not GOP strengths. They are the province of Machine Democrats, who know their voters better than most voters know themselves. They stay in close, relentless contact with them, assiduously tracking and targeting them with the help of their powerful Big Tech pals and the censoring, disinformation, and lawfare function of Big Donors, Big Government, and Big Media.
There is no evidence I’ve seen of such a prodigious vote-getting, let alone vote-monitoring, operation from Republicans. Certainly not in the Blue Dot of Omaha. On Wednesday, I saw no GOP early voting monitors at the Douglas County Elections office. I also heard a Democrat woman say she was getting a ballot for a woman in the hospital. She didn't have the hospitalized woman's driver's license. She didn't know her home address. Nevertheless, she was promised up to two ballots. Cheating? Maybe it’s part of the same national paid election fraud scheme discovered in Lancaster County, PA. Hard to say. But rest assured that Democrats will get votes from every breathing Dem voter by hook or crook.
The young tatted clerk at the election office window said with a straight face that they were all operating from "joy," which is the code word for "Democrat" in this cycle. It was creepy. It's like they know this is in the bag.
I have the cursed ability to abstract from small samples of evidence to future conclusions. I foresaw a Trump victory in 2016 and openly wrote about it on HuffPo. I see now that the Democratic 2024 campaign strategy is working: get rid of the old guy, keep specifics to a minimum, run on "joy" and identity (Obama 101), frame the election as "historic" and "transformational" (Obama for Extra Credit), invite into the fold a war-monger NeoCon like Liz Cheney to peel off old-school Republicans, and lie, evade, and cynically frame your opponent as "fascist," while driving early turnout and avoiding interrogatory interviews and press conferences that might expose your candidate's failures, incompetence, and inimitable word-salad. In debate, as in elections, this single-issue strategy often works.
Blinded by hope, some favorable polling, and Trump’s penchant for entertaining retail showmanship, most Republicans will not see this devastating result coming. But I did months ago when I predicted a Biden and, by extension, Democrat win in November. See my piece from February, “Joe Biden Has 99 Problems, But Trump Ain’t One.” It's by far the most-read post on The Crotty Farm Report. Dare I say: it’s prophetic. The stubborn GOP did not learn from it; they don’t read or listen well. The Dems did.
I can now vividly see the preposterous image of Kamala Harris taking the oath of office on a cold DC day, with her randy, violent, nanny-schtupping First Husband Doug Emhoff by her side. She will have gotten to this exalted place without winning a single primary vote or enduring the grind of a long, grueling primary campaign. This new coronation template is horrible for "the democracy" that Democrats pretend to "protect." We are a republic, of course, but Democrats aren't sticklers for moral consistency as long as they get their man.
On November 5, they will have achieved what the Steele Dossier, Crossfire Hurricane, FISA court lies, paid State Department censorship, two impeachments, interminable lawfare, two assassination attempts, election interference by 51 intel hacks, and a near-total blockade of anti-Democratic and pro-Trump news could not: they will finally Stop Trump.
Kamala Harris is the perfect DEI hire for a bamboozled America that’s been taught to fear Trump more than it might naturally fear the vindictive, inflationary, tax-heavy, crime-forgiving, open-borders, forever-war hell that will come with a vacuous and malleable Democrat as commander-in-chief and dangerous Liz Cheney overseeing our nation’s military-industrial complex. Do you feel that you are surveilled too much now? Just wait.
Since John McCain lost to Obama in 2008, the permanent war party has been adrift without an anchor. They tried to insinuate themselves back into power through Vice President Biden under Obama and then under Biden as President—to only partial avail. In Kamala Harris, they have found their strategically placed and unwitting mark. After a long exile in the wilderness—and through some diabolical rearguard stratagems on the Dems’ behalf—NeoCon deep-state players like John Brennan, Dick Cheney, James Clapper, Alberto Gonzales, Michael Hayden, the egregious John Kelly, John Negroponte, and their fellow Dirty 51 traitors are back in the game. Cigars all around!
America’s poor have no clue that they are about to again become cannon fodder for bloodthirsty chicken-hawk fantasies. Get those body bags ready, as plans for a direct war with China, Russia, and Iran begin in earnest on November 6, just as plans for the Neocons’ last unilateral war––on Iraq––started in the fall of 2000, soon after the Supreme Court decision in Gore V. Bush.
In Achieving Our Country: Leftist Thought in Twentieth-Century America, Richard Rorty chastised Progressives for their 75-year-long “High Theory” quest to obsessively police speech and engender shame over America’s founding. Now, through the Marxist Left’s sick and cynical alliance with their former mortal enemies, they are about to return America to the role of the world’s policeman. The dark irony is lost on their Maoist, Trump-deranged brains.
Harris’ “historic” electoral magic—enabled by the sick and cynical alignment of Democrats with the permanent war party—didn't happen for a NeoCon like Hillary Clinton because she was merely a woman, not a woman of color. Many Democratic persons of color did not like or trust Hillary or her philandering husband, Bill, who was our nation’s last great Democratic President.
Kamala checks all the identity boxes. She’s the perfect front person to occlude the NeoCons’ imperial ambitions. She will win with a staggering turnout from women, especially women of color, who have no clue what slouching beast they are ushering in under the banner of “identity.”
The best hope for the GOP is to get out now and massively vote so you can at least hang onto the House or Senate to chasten Harris' worst instincts. In the Trump era, MAGA Republicans do close hard. Trump’s closing gambit should be to tell the truth about “Kamala’s Generals”: who they are, why he fired them, and why they will break any custom, law, or protocol to get him––the last great obstacle to their hegemonic imperatives––out of the way. He needs to connect the dots for voters skittish about U.S. boots on the ground. After all, he, Reagan, and Teddy were the same on foreign policy: deterrence, containment, strategic engagement and savvy hesitation on the use of American power. With great results. On Trump’s watch alone, ISIS was defeated, and China, Hamas, Iran, and Russia were all checked. Kamala and her new war-monger NeoCon pals will be just the opposite. And you thought the Iraq War was bad.
In the end, the Blue Dot tells the larger tale. I saw it Wednesday at the Douglas County Elections office, where I witnessed smiles all around––from the Democratic staff to the Democrats waiting in line. They know, in their embedded administrative state hearts, that Trump will get crushed again in CD-2, though traditional GOP problem-solver and former Offutt Air Force Base commander Don Bacon will keep his House race close.
The Trump Era ends on November 5. Mark my words and respond accordingly.
Coda: I hope I get egg on my face. I hope I eat crow. But I am taking no chances. I am hitting the road! I am not interested in watching the ensuing carnage.
Very scary. I pray you eat crow.
I'll bring the eggs, Jim.
