Trump might have a point about foreign policy. Maybe it would be good to stop calling the leaders of countries we don’t see eye to eye with dictators. Everyone we don’t like is a dictator. Perhaps we ought to let sovereign nations run their nations and pursue functional relations with them. Trump seems like he may be able to walk us back from the brink. Kamala without a doubt would only inflame tensions.
But really. Is it a wonder we have terrible relationships with major world powers and are on the brink of nuclear war when we insult every one of these people?
I watched that whole Joe Rogan conversation and though Trump sounded downright salient. I don’t agree with everything but he sounds like he has actually thought about these problems and has good insight.
The snark and condescension from this publication has reached astounding heights. But I think that’s the way the blue team likes it. Being scolded is their love language.
The lead piece in this article (excellent Free Press work, as usual) puts a bright light on the essence of this election. To put a Yoda spin on it, “there is only Trump or not Trump, there is no Harris”.
Interesting thematic choice which makes me wonder how Kamala actually prosecuted cases herself. Why? How is it that you hold a “closing argument” on your campaign when you never made a case and presented evidence of what you will actually do? Typically poor performance on her part. Also it was as if she was making a closing argument as an asst DA while her boss Joe Biden thwarted her by speaking at the same time again! This is foreshadowing of the incompetence of the campaign and an example of how she would rule, it’s all performative without substance and a really poor job of gaslighting.
You’re asking a White Supremacist fascist Nazi piece of garbage who happens to be Jewish, pro-Israel, former Democrat
pre-Obama whether a racist, CommunoIslamFascist who slept her way up the ladder with Willie Brown, corrupt, married at the time who with Dhimmi Carter secured the Guyana property for Jim Jones’ “ Socialist Multiracial Agrarian Utopia” turned slaughterhouse where nearly one thousand poor multiracial souls, half of them children were massacred by suicide at gunpoint. A corrupt, soulless, inept, antisemitic, pro-Hamas, race baiter , border insurgency promoter, encourages transactivism in the public school curriculum targeting children, taxpayer funded sex change surgery for prison inmates,weakening our military, supported the horrific Afghan withdrawal,labels half of America White Supremacist,KKK, misogynist, homophobic. , xenophobic, semi-fascist and fascist Nazis who are Hitler supporters, has no clue how to govern a township, much less a nation, much less our nation, who supported and encouraged BLM to march , riot, burn down neighborhoods, kill cops.. who, with her husband and stepdaughter raised money for the Marxist-Jihadist activist Jew hating, America hating, Israel hating, White hating, Christian/Hindu/Buddhist hating,Hamas/Hezbollah/Houthi/PLO/Al Qaeda/Ayatollah/Hitler/Stalin/Mao enthusiasts- Who advocated the New Green Deal scam, wanted to enact taxpayer funded Medicare for all , including illegal migrant border insrgents , of which 300,000 children are missing most of the others are unaccounted for, a violent crime rate is soaring, no cash bail, and abolish private healthcare providersCan she close the deal? I pray not. She’s a cutout. A puppet.
The extreme abortion restrictions and bans are being tossed, which I wholly support, but the extreme abortion on demand without any limits will continue, which is a travesty. I’ve never taken issue with another’s sexuality. Most of my social circle is gay, some are trans, all are fabulous and none of them support this bizarre activism. Many have children, most are adopted and half of the child are handicapped, but loved and nurtured to the izzo. None of the parents support the horrific late-term/full term abortion on demand. They’re appalled. They so desperately want children. It’s not religious doctrine , it’s humanity.
I worked alongside Trump for two years on my most prized design contract. He’s very nice in person. Very kind, compassionate and generous. This is a personal. But most important is that he’s 100% pro-America. He is indefatigable and willing to die for America while trying to save a sinking ship. I can deal with his personality for four years.I love the formation of a coalition admin and want it to expand. Perhaps rename the Party and ditch the hyper-social ideologues. Trump is about as ideologically Conservative as I am a Jewish Nazi . She must not win! If she does, we’re done .America as we know it/knew it is done.The “ Republicans For Kamala” are as corrupt and owned as the Dems. Corporate Globalist One World Order tyrants.All of them.In bed with the worst of humanity. They’ve always been, but now they’re exposed.
I notice you did not include the part of Kamala's speech where she said she would quickly deport people trying to enter the country unlawfully. She barely stopped short of saying Mexico would pay for the wall. She should be paying Trump at this point for providing her with a platform. She has defined herself quite well -- as a vapid puppet willing to say anything and mean nothing.
"Books with LGBTQ content?" Are you kidding? The books in question are basically teen sex manuals. Get real people. Children must be protected from lurking adults, and giving them literature that softens the defenses is abhorrent. The LGB is not going to be rounded up when the T is debunked. Lesbians have got to stop imagining that they must allow men who claim to be lesbians, but are actually heterosexual men, because if they lose the connection with T, "lesbians might come next." A lesbian friend of mine is literally in a lesbian group of women who allow exactly this manipulative heterosexual man with a fetish, who dresses in spike heels, bustiers, all that, instead of the sensible shoes and practical clothing these middle aged women wear. Lesbians, you are not going to "be next." Let go of these men. They are sexual predators and manipulators. Here's the data:
They’re worse than teen manuals, They’re illustrated and predatory. A young boy having anal sex with an adult male isn’t tolerance, it’s podophiliac. I took screenshots of the contents. What adults or even 17 year olds do consensually is their business, but pushing this on not just teens, but kids-6 is abominable. I don’t care what anybody opts for as an adult, Human sexuality is not black and white, but sexualizing children is grooming and I don’t think this is about what is being promoted. I think it’s even darker. It’s very “Brave New World” . Near androgynous. It is population control. Sterility. Limiting reproduction.Overturning Roe only made things worse. Extremism begets extremism. If the No Longer Recognizable Democrat Death Cult wants to abortion themselves to extinction- have at it. If the religious fundamentalist zealots want to have 20 children and can afford to foot the bill, have at it. Just leave me alone, my children and everybody else the hell alone. The only people “ winning” are less than human. And the zealots of the other extreme are complicit, whether or not they realize it.
Additionally, I know as a trans widow, a woman now divorced from a suddenly demanding, secretly crossdressing man, after the secret was discovered, that the "consenting adults" line is bogus. I collect the only data in the world on trans widows, now up to 64, and the coercion, violence, all sanctioned by "gender therapists" is just one more thread in a nihilistic sex fetish/death cult.
You misquoted Biden. Poor journalism by FP fact checkers, editors and this author! Go check out exactly what he said. He did NOT call 45’s supporters “garbage”.
Besides, how come the rhetoric of a senile old man is so momentous for yall now?
I heard a tape of what he said, and that is exactly what he said.
It's momentous because it shows the contempt and disdain that the Left has for half of the country is alive and well, despite Obama's "Play nice" exhortation at the convention. You know what else disgusts me? Biden campaigned as the unifier, that he was going to be the President of all the people. True colors- he turns around and calls half the country garbage.
I was just reading an AP story about Kamala campaigning in South Carolina. It mentioned her “boarding Air Force Two.” When she uses her VP plane to campaign, does her campaign war chest reimburse the government??! Or are the taxpayers paying for her campaign travel expenses?
We got it. It's a braggadocious blowhard NYer focused on outcomes (nationalism) vs a devoted, but evasive flag bearer of the New Left who is very focused on words.
The prestigious elite got so focused on words (who is saying them and what that says about their identity and the identity of others) that it began to crowd out their ability to manage institutions. When backlash to their mismanagement formed, they just kept focusing on words because the WORDS OF THE PEOPLE THEY FAILED were verboten in their insulated little circles.
They look so weird on television, it's obvious they are in a prison of their own mind. They will keep running most of the world and her institutions (into the ground), but at least we can vote to keep them out of the executive branch of the federal govt for four years.
So here we are. One side is campaigning and the other side is squealing about words...
Wow… Ms. Kamala has painted herself as a non-entity.
Does this mean that we only vote on the issues?
You mean like open border or unlimited borrowing without remorse or the forever wars that drain tax payers and puff up the rich or endorsing burning cities or melting down all of our guns to jump start the steel industry or DAs that think no one can possibly do any harm or giving away billions of dollars worth of armaments to people that spent years shooting our best or buying all of our energy from countries that have strict environmental laws like ours etc. etc. etc. etc.
After months of campaigning and hundreds of opportunities to "define herself," you've repeated here the charge that Kamala Harris has failed to do that. Here's the problem, Oliver: you keep repeating the same few examples. Obviously, you're just not listening, probably because you don't want to hear what she says. You sneak in a few negative thoughts about Trump, but we know that you're voting for him.
Millions of Americans have listened to Kamala (and read her web site) and know exactly how she's "defined." Her policies are outlined as concretely as any candidate (and with far more detail than Trump) and they all focus on helping regular Americans at the expense of greedy billionaires.
Right! She's going to do the things that haven't yet been done that still need to be done, with a priority on doing the things that need to be prioritized, and will turn the page to a new generation of leadership by doing nothing different from the current administration, and in terms of the question of how she defines herself, look, she grew up in a middle class family, she has never changed her values, and she can imagine what can be unburdened by what has been. You know what she's talking about. You KNOW what she's talking about. So what's the problem?
Or just look at the past four years. Especially her stint has the border czar. Or how she lied to the American public about Joe's conditions. Or how she was the last one out of the room for the disastrous withdrawal in Afghanistan. Or the tie-breaking vote that set us up nicely for inflation. Or how she bailed out BLM rioters and looters and supported defund the police, or ...
Fiscal conservatism will never matter until both sides of the aisle adopt it. The GOP was skewered on that petard for decades. How does it work for one party to try and reign in spending and the other party to promise voters all their favorite goodies for free (free $25K down payments, free childcare, free college loan, free business "loans" if you black, free rent, food, cell phones if you are an illegal immigrant, free govt jobs for anyone who wants one (suppresses unemployment which is really good for the incumbent), etc)? The votes will always go to those sprinkling money everywhere. Both parties need to adopt fiscal conservatism for it to work. Democrats know this. They are happy if the GOP-only wants to preserve the union.
"But China remains the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases. Hey, eco-warriors, maybe a little less museum vandalism and a little more petitioning the CCP is in order."
I wonder if slapping harsh tariffs on China's products would reduce the CCP's ability to do damage, both environmentally and militarily. Hmmm.

He happens to be the current president and the Democrat nominee’s boss, in case you have forgotten.
I heard a tape of what he said, and that is exactly what he said.
It's momentous because it shows the contempt and disdain that the Left has for half of the country is alive and well, despite Obama's "Play nice" exhortation at the convention.

Old and busted: A fake Native American crying over a garbage strewn land.

Bogus answer, She had plenty of opportunities to respond verbally. She isn't a quick thinker, period. Ultimate light weight, in my opinion.
Thanks to an AI - not Harris.
Maybe she hasn’t read her website?
Or just look at the past four years. Especially her stint has the border czar. Or how she lied to the American public about Joe's conditions. Or how she was the last one out of the room for the disastrous withdrawal in Afghanistan. Or the tie-breaking vote that set us up nicely for inflation.
