Wake up, Republicans! You underestimate Kamala Harris at your peril.
Dems violated democracy in coronating Kamala, forfeiting their best argument against Trump, ceding the moral high ground, and spitting on Centrists and Independents. They could still win.
Given the recent fire hose of black swan political events, I wouldn’t blame you if you unplugged from punditry for a decade and, like some latter-day Mahayana monk, held out in a cave, chanting The Heart Sutra until the empire collapsed. Lately, I’ve come close to hanging up the writer cleats, easing my trigger fingers, and heading to that cave. It would do me a world of good. But then cave walls can produce philosophical delusions, and I am committed to delivering truth and irony as it appears in the clear light of day.
Unless Republicans wake up soon, Kamala Harris will win this election. That Trump didn’t better plan for her eventuality is unsurprising given the former President’s shoot-from-the-hip management style. Knowing this, his team should have done their due diligence and ferreted out what Dems were up to. With his not-fully-vetted VP pick and the tone-deaf second half of his convention speech, Trump got sloppy and overconfident. So, here we are.
A brief recap: the worst debate performance in presidential history; an assassination attempt––now censored by “Rig Tech”––by a textbook white rager; a weird failure to own that tragedy by a now-former Secret Service Director; the forced resignation of our current President and coronation of our nation’s first Jamaican-Indian female presidential nominee.
This madness was inevitably followed by the giddy “Kamalot” of Trump-deranged elites, instead of a deep exploration of Harris’ role in the Biden cognitive cover-up, the shadowy way she came to power, her brat girl failure to protect the border, and her bailing out of Black Lives Matter arsonists, rioters, and thieves—who in turn protested her un-democratic selection! The surreality was capped by an odd Oval Office Address by the current President––who still claims he’s fit to serve––that sounded like a second-term inaugural as Biden prattled on about “saving democracy” even as he was deposed in the first official coup in American history.
The party of "saving democracy" doesn't seem to care much about democracy. The last three Democratic nominees were all coronated. Hillary Clinton—Democrats gradually moved the popular Socialist Bernie Sanders off the stage. Joe Biden—clearly enfeebled, he won only South Carolina, yet the party ordered all other candidates to fall in line. And Kamala Harris—party and donor elites gave Biden the hook and selected Harris without input from voters in a new primary process.
Despite the ignoble sausage-making, Harris is getting a post-announcement bump as the Democratic Party and their partners in mainstream entertainment, media, search, and social media unify behind her. With such sizable tailwinds and a $200 million donor infusion, Harris has inched closer in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin as Democrats awake from near death, relieved to be rid of Biden and his prodigal son.
However, Trump’s lead in Georgia and Arizona remains fairly strong, confirming that Hispanic voters might be unmoved by this version of “hope and change.” In the RCP poll of polls––disregard the one-offs that Drudge and other Dem tools tout––Trump still leads in every swing state. Democrats dumbly think that the popular vote means something. It does not. Nate Silver still has Trump winning comfortably in the Electoral College.
How big future Harris bumps will be depends on whether “the San Francisco prosecutor” can win over reluctant Midwest voters. Right now, that looks daunting. Primary voters were decidedly non-plussed by Harris in her disastrous and short-circuited 2020 run for President. She dropped out of the Iowa caucuses before she had to face their damning verdict. Midwesterners can spot a fraud a cornfield away.
No surprise that Harris’s tyrannical diva reputation follows her everywhere. An investigation by government watchdog Open the Books found that 91.5% of those who worked for Vice President Harris over the last three years quit, including prominent black operatives like Omaha-born Symone Sanders. The same negative view was held during her Senate tenure when staffers labeled her “the devil.” Democratic mouthpiece The Washington Post documented a “toxic work environment" inside Vice President Harris’s office, with staffers calling it “soul-destroying.”
The common complaint among her staffers is that Harris “does not do the work,” is “unprepared,” and is a “bully.” There’s also a lack of transparency in how Harris spends office money, fertile ground for future GOP probes.
Harris and her few remaining long-term staffers feel they can mitigate her nightmarish reputation by bringing in a “white male savior” as Vice President to manage her, her messaging, and her staff. Democrats are nothing but overt in their racial and gender obsessions. I was the first to recommend another female on the ticket, such as Governor Gretch Whitmer of Michigan. However, like Gavin Newsom of California, Whitmer likely believes Harris will implode from her defects, opening the door for a Whitmer run in 2028.
The media is working overtime to cover up Harris’s leadership style. They’ve set a bright line for their partisan coverage, false-flagging that most criticism of Harris is “misogynistic and racist.” They’ve even recruited Biden’s disgraced, fired, and grotesquely partisan singing disinformation czarina, the uniquely annoying Nina Jankowicz, to cement the point. On MSDNC, Nina delivered the message to mainstream media stormtroopers: if you don’t want to be censored, downranked, or prosecuted under the Harris Regime, stop telling the “Russian-sourced” truth about Kamala.
In response, the media have resorted to laughable hagiography around the palpably dysfunctional and incompetent Vice President, while effectively putting a kibosh on the instructive term “DEI” (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, a staple of Democrat redistributionist hiring). Never mind that Joe Biden said in 2020 that he would choose as Vice President a "black female." By Biden’s own definition, Harris is the prototype "DEI hire."
But such censorship can only go so far, now that Republicans have an additional platform, X––plus The Crotty Farm Report––to check Democrat lies and disinformation. How successful Democrat media and deep staters are in changing the Harris narrative depends on how effective Team Trump is in quickly and correctly defining her as the open-borders, tax-the-rich, defund-the-police, no-cash-bail, ban-fracking, Woke reparations queen her statements prove she is.
This will not be easy. The standard teleprompter speech that Harris delivered after her Machiavellian ascension to the throne was reasonably persuasive. She’s been practicing a version of it as Veep for over a year and, thus, delivers it without her customary gaffes and wild, unhinged laughing. Focusing on the prosecutor versus the perp, that speech wins over converts wherever she goes.
Ms. Harris’s weakness is not in highly choreographed set pieces where she can smile and wave like Eva Peron but in impromptu situations, where her lack of deep policy smarts, combined with her generalized anxiety, propels her into either impenetrable word salad or Xanax-infused babytalk. Harris (Howard University, Hastings College of the Law) is no Obama (Columbia University, Harvard Law School). She failed the bar exam on her first try. But her smile and infectious dance moves are worth ten million votes each. Contrasted with the sometimes dark Trump rhetoric, and stifled old white guy shimmying, Harris has a winner’s aesthetic.
This race could get interesting if Harris lands Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro as her running mate. But that would presume a less bigoted Democratic Party, not today’s rabidly anti-Semitic one. Despite her pretend-grown-up, pretend-President kabuki theatre with Israel's Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu last Thursday--after which the Vice President, in Biden/Harris tradition, took zero questions--Harris knows that her violent, pro-Hamas, anti-American, anti-Israel base cannot be pacified. She can't pick the overtly Zionist Shapiro as Veep unless she wants to put his life and her chances in peril. She would win Pennsylvania only to lose the pro-Palestinian redoubts of Michigan.
Everyone knows where Kamala stands on Israel. Ms. Harris did not even call out the anti-Israel violence on Capitol Hill last Wednesday, when thugs spray-painted "Hamas" on our national monuments. Naturally, almost none of those “insurrectionists” were arrested in the Biden/Harris double-standard justice system, as lookie-loo J6 grannies languish in prison.
Even though she is the de facto President of the Senate, Kamala Harris didn’t even show up for Bibi’s inspiring address to Congress. For 24 hours, she said nothing about the torching of the American flag and hoisting of the Hamas one. Then, on Thursday, she equated overt anti-Semitism with comparatively rare Islamaphobia. That will not likely fly in Jewish communities across America still hurting from Israel’s version of 9/11 and the Season of Anti-Semitism on college campuses.
Then again, the schitzophrenic, self-defeating nature of Trump-deranged Zionist liberals continues to boggle the mind, even though Israel never had a better friend than Trump. The Trump Administration brought to fruition The Abraham Accords, relocated the American embassy to Jerusalem, recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, signed the Taylor Force Act, and withdrew the U.S. from Obama’s catastrophic nuclear arms deal with Iran, which gave the mullahs plenty of coin to fund Hamas’ diabolical attack on October 7, 2023.
But even if––like Bill Ackman––the liberal Jewish community comes to their senses, it may not matter. If Kamala outrageously outperforms with her black female sisterhood, this election could be hers. Showing her priorities, “Kamala Chameleon” (CFR first used the term, Laura Ingraham) chose to bond at a black sorority event in Indianapolis rather than hear the Israeli Prime Minister address Congress.
Kamala’s girl power strategy is transparent, lacking the nuance of Obama’s 2008 run. Turn on MSNDC, and there it is. No talk of the key issues--inflation, crime, the war on cops, lawfare, Big Tech censorship, the broken border, the 51-intel-chief election interference, the Green New Boondoggle, a world at war--just racialist girl pride, and “Trump is a racist” (far from it), Trump is a “threat to democracy” (you guys just deposed your elected standard-bearer, LOL), and JD Vance’s joke about childless cat ladies, yadda, yadda, yadda. The cat ladies may be unsafe and broke from Kamala's open borders, war on cops, and pricey gas and groceries, but, gosh darn it, they still have Miss Pitty-Patty!
If the overall black turnout mirrors Obama's, Kamala could easily carry Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, and Virginia, quickly putting Election Night to bed. And if she revs up the self-hating white Woke-ster, the aptly satirized “Karens for Kamala” and “White Dudes for Kamala,” watch out! This self-flagellating Zoom call will make you laugh, then make you cringe in horror. Never, ever should we let such CRT-indoctrinated nutballs near the White House again. But, it could happen, if Republicans don’t wake up, volunteer, and vote early.
Trump’s mandate is to break their little lefty hearts with a landslide victory. Nothing would make MAGA happier than seeing the smug, arrogant, Trump-deranged likes of Joy Reid, Rachel Maddow, Alex Wagner, and Nicolle Wallace cry on Election Night.
But, once again, Republicans are unprepared for the assault on truth that’s already arriving like a tsunami. Though they routinely parrot ideas and rhetoric I pioneer here, the Grand Old Party is off to a rocky start in defining Harris as an out-of-touch “California Democrat” and forcing her to own Dem-enabled crime, homelessness, high taxes, open borders, and soul-crushing regulations that come with the label. Michael Dukakis was a proud "Massachusetts Democrat." Same difference. “Mike” got crushed in 1988 against a flawed GOP candidate because Republicans had a professional campaign team defining him. 2024 is the same as 1988, with different faces and a far-left Democratic Party in control of entertainment, media, search, and social media. Team Trump needs to drive the “California Democrat” theme home. The Rust Belt knows one when they hear one, without the need for explication.
A YouGov poll found that 68% of voters think Kamala Harris was intimately involved in the cover-up of Joe Biden’s cognitive decline. Adding fuel to the fire, David Axelrod, Obama’s campaign architect, said the quiet part aloud on home team CNN: the cover-up scandal is playing well with voters, especially after Harris was bequeathed the nomination in the Pelosi-led putsch.
The connection that Team Trump needs to make is that the Biden cognitive cover-up is part of a larger pattern of Harris lies and disinformation. Her media thugs are already trying to cover up the fact she was voted the most left-wing Senator, more so than Bernie Sanders, LOL. The Kamala “Plumbers” had that article taken down, but the wayback machine saved the evidence. Ms. Harris was indeed the border czar, despite her team's lame gaslighting. CNN, Axios, Joe Biden all confirmed it. Now the Democrat disinformationists say she was only in charge of "root causes." How'd that go, Madame Vice President? Eight million new illegal immigrants entered the U.S. on the Biden/Harris watch. You can't dance away from your border failure that voters consistently say is the most critical issue facing the nation.
Harris said publicly that she supports banning fracking, though her communications fabulists are trying to walk that truth back too, getting partisan Politico to shamefully claim it was a “Trump accusation.” I wonder how that will play in the swing-state fracking hotbeds of Colorado, New Mexico, and Pennsylvania.
Harris is on the record supporting free health care for illegal immigrants and treating illegal border crossings as a misdemeanor. Likely not a winning position in swing state Arizona, which has been swamped by the human trafficking that Harris helped allow.
Harris is on the record supporting the elimination of private health insurance. She promotes mandatory gun buybacks. She supports sanctuary cities. As California Attorney General, she public defended and implemented Prop—47, which reduced penalties for felonious retail theft to minor misdemeanors. The ensuing smash-and-grab epidemic is on her watch.
Kamala Harris is not a moderate; far from it. As the facts leak out beyond the strict Democrat algorithms, filters, censors, and cock-and-bull robots, her ability to win the Rust Belt should, by all rights, collapse. But Republicans should not think this is a walk in the park. They should not just be worried, but paranoid. The Dems are already up to their old electioneering tricks, including the Russia election interference whopper. Without a prodigious GOP ground game, ballot harvesting, massive early voting, relentless fact-checking, and better Trump debate performances, Dems will grind this election out in the many urban areas where cowardly Republicans are not monitoring the vote.
The loquacious RNC Chair, Lara Trump, better have her ducks in a row. Right now, I am hearing about the over 100,000 volunteers who signed up to canvass for Kamala. How many volunteers has Lara landed? Republicans need a Karl Rove surrogate marshaling that army or they will be out-gunned.
Republicans, Independents, Democratic Centrists and Libertarians must see the stark reality before them: if this cackling, smiling, sapheaded Queen of the Woke-topolis is made President, there will be nowhere for you to hide. Like a Maduro of America, Kamala and her weaponized goons will come quietly, with a happy face, for your guns, your investments (which they will tax before you've even sold them for profit), your kids (whom they will indoctrinate into DEI stormtroopers, trained to riot, burn, and steal when court decisions don't go their way), your inheritance, your land, your right to fire incompetent people, your Supreme Court, your energy jobs, your speech (which will again be banned and censored if it does not accord with racialist Regime norms), your safety (criminals will be let free if they match the criteria of certain protected groups), your border, your statues, your classics, your history, your right to a fair trial and to be free from political lawfare.
This is how Socialist dictatorship takes root. You've seen the pattern throughout Africa, Asia, Europe, and South America. And right now in Venezuela. It's always the same blueprint: the same happy figurehead, the same horrific result. Never with a frown, always with a smile.
Free-thinkers, Trumpers, Libertarians, Independents, Conservatives, common sense Democrats--whether black, brown, white, Asian, or Native American--you are not safe! What matters to the Regime is obedience and spreading the gospel of the Woke-topolis.
Kamala's turnout could very well exceed Obama’s. The base will go giddy. Indoctrinated young women will go giddy. "Community organizers" will go giddy. The Woke Administrative State will go giddy. The CIA, the DOD, the DOJ, the FBI, and the NSA will all go giddy. They will conspire and collaborate to ensure the “correct” outcome is achieved. Don't be distracted by the bland white male moderate running mate the Tammany Hall bosses will recruit to hide Kamala’s radical agenda.
We had a guy in power in 2020 who was going to prevent this nightmare from ever happening. But you let the media trick you into believing that his "mean tweets" meant he was a “Nazi," even as the Kamala Kids torched our cities and struck fear into the hearts of Americans. This vengeful Woke monster--birthed in academia, slipped into grade school and high school curricula, tested by nonprofits, and now deeply ensconced in public policy--is gunning for it all.
America’s only hope is for each of us to hold our noses and vote Republican up and down the ballot and spend every free hour getting family and friends to do the same. Then, closely watch vote tabulations.
Your standard-bearer, Donald Trump, has issues. His running mate, J.D. Vance, has issues. The Republican Party has issues. But that all falls away when we contemplate the smiling, winsome beast of Woke Santa Claus Socialism that is about to obliterate everything we hold dear.
