  • Keep The Pedal To The Metal And Get Out The Vote!

    We’ve been getting a steady stream of questions from conservatives asking, “What can I do to elect Donald Trump and save America?” The reality is this election remains close, too close for polls to assure victory to either candidate, and much remains to be done for Donald Trump to close the deal with the voters necessary to achieve a 270 Electoral College vote majority and be reelected President of the United States. Hard-Left “resistance” organizations and other Leftwing groups – funded in large measure by billionaire Nazi collaborator and convicted currency manipulator George Soros – have created a permanent campaign machine to undercut voter ID laws, attack the integrity and security of the ballot, engage in election fraud and create chaos on Election Day. The pro-Kamala Harris super PAC Future Forward is launching another huge $100 million flight of ads to broadcast her closing message to voters across every major platform in the campaign’s final week. So, the #1 thing you can do is to make sure every conservative, every Reagan Democrat, every Make America Healthy Again Kennedy supporter, and every Pro-Trump Republican turns in their ballot or shows up to vote in person on Election Day. One easy way to make sure everyone on your contact list votes, and votes for Donald Trump and conservative candidates for other offices is to use the Tea Party Patriots Citizen Fund app, which you can download through this link . There is still time for conservatives to engage in legitimate and entirely appropriate ballot security measures using poll watchers to verify the ID of voters so that conservative candidates can win outside the margin of fraud. Contact your local Republican headquarters, Trump campaign field office or go to https://whoscounting.us/  to see if there’s still time for the Election Integrity Network to plug you into their ballot security operation. Finally, recognize the power of peer pressure and engagement. Research has shown  that social pressure is an effective way to convince people to vote. A 2008 study published in the American Political Science Review analyzed how various mailers impacted voter turnout. The most effective mailer indicated whether members of the recipient’s household voted in previous elections—as well as whether their neighbors had. That message resulted in an 8.1 percentage-point gain over the control group, according to the study. If you haven't voted yet, find your sample ballot and make a plan to vote! Don't leave it up to chance or leftwing shenanigans. From the Oval Office to state legislatures and ballot issues, we need every single vote cast this year. Take a friend with you! If you've voted already don’t be bashful: Check in with friends, family, coworkers, and church family. Offer to drive an elderly or ailing neighbor. Make yourself the polling place taxi service for conservatives from your neighborhood, church or precinct. Conservatives, we are in a battle for the survival of a free America established and created under God’s laws.  None should stay on the sidelines in this election.  Working together we can save America for our children, grandchildren, and future generations.

  • Just the Facts: Trump and Harris on the Issues

    As the 2024 Presidential election draws closer to its conclusion the issues driving the American people to the polls have crystalized and clarified and most clearly of all shines the stark contrast between the visions offered by President Donald J. Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. Based upon polling from Statista/YouGov in July, The Economist/YouGov  in August, Pew Research  in September and Marist in October, analysts have gleaned that the Economy, Inflation and Consumer Prices are most consistently the most important combined issue in the election by a wide margin. Other top issues which vie for prominence from month to month are Immigration/Border Security, Healthcare, Crime, and Foreign Policy. In a remarkable departure from previous races, the political hot-button issue of Abortion is almost an afterthought in most polls. Both parties have published their platforms addressing these issues which have been analyzed, scrutinized and of course, deliberately misinterpreted by pundits and their opponents alike for months, this is an election after all. But each candidate’s position can be condensed relatively simply.   Economy, Inflation and Consumer Prices Donald J. Trump:  President Trump’s platform calls for the President and Congress to “commit to unleashing American Energy, reining in wasteful spending, cutting excessive Regulations, securing our Borders, and restoring Peace through Strength,” in order to correct the spiraling economy and reduce inflation. Specifically, Trump places domestic energy production center stage and prescribes “lifting restrictions on American Energy Production and terminating the Socialist Green New Deal,” as well as “Energy Production from all sources, including nuclear, to immediately slash Inflation and power American homes, cars, and factories with reliable, abundant, and affordable Energy.” Trump also broke new ground with a vow to eliminate Taxes on Tips for American service workers, no taxes on Social Security and no taxes on Overtime as well as “mak(ing) permanent the provisions of the Trump Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that doubled the standard deduction, expanded the Child Tax Credit, and spurred Economic Growth for all Americans.” This is a major condensation as well, Trump’s platform spends four entire chapters on economic, trade and job building reforms. Kamala Harris: Vice President Harris’ platform  conversely lays the blame upon “anti-competitive practices that let big corporations jack up prices and undermine the competition,” as the root cause of the high cost of living and slow growth for Main Street America. Harris promises to correct this through an effort to “go after bad actors who exploit an emergency to rip off consumers by calling for the first-ever federal ban on corporate price gouging on food and groceries.” She further calls for “making our tax system fairer and prioritizing investment and innovation,” promising to “ensure the wealthiest Americans and the largest corporations pay their fair share, so we can take action to build up the middle class while reducing the deficit,” and pitching expanded Child Tax Credits and Earned Income Tax Credits.   Immigration/Border Security Donald J. Trump:  Trump’s policy on immigration and border security is largely unchanged since his initial 2016 Presidential run calling for a restoration of the border policies he enacted during his first term including a halt of all releases of illegal immigrants into the country and deployment of the U.S. military to interdict drug and human smuggling across maritime borders. A new addition is a vow to launch the “Largest Deportation Program in American History,” in concert with his Travel Ban for unvetted migrants, and use Title 42 to combat child trafficking crisis by “returning all trafficked children to their families in their Home Countries immediately.” Kamala Harris:  Harris in a departure from boilerplate Democrat rhetoric has pivoted to a stance of “tough, smart solutions to secure the border, keep communities safe, and reform(ing) our broken immigration system.” She also touts her previous role as Attorney General of California  as proof of her capability to wrangle with “international drug gangs, human traffickers and cartels.” However, Harris focuses on an allegedly “bi-partisan” border security bill that met with widespread scorn and derision from Republicans and only held token support from anti-Trump Republicans on the hill with several calling it a “sham.” According to Congressman Don Davis’s (D-NC) website even Washington state Democrat and chair of the Progressive Congressional Caucus Pramila Jayapal condemned the bill as pointless saying, “The majority could barely pass this legislation last year,” referring to the party-line vote in 2023. “And now it’s going to magically pass it in the House with a two-thirds majority? Give me a break. This bill is going nowhere, so let’s just be clear about that.” Harris’ campaign vows to “bring back the bipartisan border security bill and sign it into law.” Crime Donald J. Trump:  In President Trump’s platform to “Renew The Pillars Of American Civilization,”  extensively refers to restoring law and order. “Republicans will restore safety in our neighborhoods by replenishing Police Departments, restoring Common Sense Policing, and protecting Officers from frivolous lawsuits. We will stand up to Marxist Prosecutors, vigorously defend the Right of every American to live in peace, and we will compassionately address homelessness to restore order to our streets.” In his Agenda47 plan, Trump also calls for the firing of “Radical Marxist Prosecutors,” and the appoint 100 U.S. Attorneys adding, “As part of this effort, there should be a federal inquiry into the Soros prosecutor in Austin, Texas, who charged a veteran with murder for defending himself against a threat by a heavily armed member of a radical left mob.” Kamala Harris:  Vice President Harris focuses on efforts begun under the Biden Administration for federal-level investment and thereby control of “local law enforcement and community safety programs across 1,000 cities, towns, and counties, and placing more mental health professionals in schools. Overwhelmingly however, Harris’ crime policies revolve around gun control and confiscatory laws declaring on her website, “She’ll ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, require universal background checks, and support red flag laws.” Harris also suggested that she would continue to target her opponent in particular noting, “She’ll fight to ensure that no former president has immunity for crimes committed while in the White House.” She also called for “common-sense Supreme Court reforms — like requiring Justices to comply with ethics rules that other federal judges are bound by and imposing term limits — to address the crisis of confidence facing the Supreme Court.”   Healthcare: Donald J. Trump: While the RNC platform itself is rather brief on the subject of healthcare, in Trump’s Agenda47 , the President is detailed in his policy plans to the point of being verbose targeting major pharmaceutical companies. “Every year, we spend hundreds of billions of dollars to treat these chronic problems rather than looking at what is causing them in the first place,” Trump said. “Too often, our public health establishment is too close to Big Pharma—they make a lot of money, Big Pharma—big corporations, and other special interests, and does not want to ask the tough questions about what is happening to our children’s health.” He also called out “the scourge of Drug Addiction in America” adding, “If Big Pharma defrauds American patients and taxpayers or puts profits above people, they must be investigated and held accountable.” He further called for major reforms tackling “homelessness, the drug addicted, and the dangerously deranged,” promising to “use every tool, lever, and authority to get the homeless off our streets. We want to take care of them, but they have to be off our streets. There is nothing compassionate about letting these individuals live in filth and squalor rather than getting them the help they need. We need professionals to help them.” Kamala Harris: Harris’ healthcare policy is largely predicated on “expanding and strengthening the Affordable Care Act,” and levying tax credits for healthcare premiums and government price restrictions on pharmaceuticals. She also pitches the fallacy of cancelling medical debt, which is effectively a taxpayer funded bailout. The Vice President also leverages heavily on forcing “millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share in taxes,” in order to fund Social Security and Medicare, expanding these programs to encompass government subsidized child care and long-term medical care. In terms of combatting drug dependency Harris leans once again on the “bipartisan border bill” to combat drug-smuggling and touts making the overdose-reversal drug naloxone available over-the-counter.   Foreign Policy Donald J. Trump: The Trump foreign policy we can expect is one that would largely mirror the President’s first term with two notable exceptions: the Russo-Ukrainian War and the Israel-Hamas War. In the RNC platform Trump’s campaign promises a “return Peace through Strength, rebuilding our Military and Alliances, countering China, defeating terrorism, building an Iron Dome Missile Defense Shield, promoting American Values, securing our Homeland and Borders, and reviving our Defense Industrial Base.” Trump has also in several media appearances promised to address the Russo-Ukrainian conflict before even taking office and reportedly has asked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to wrap up operations in the conflict with Hamas prior to his inauguration according to Fox News  citing the Times of Israel. In February Trump also called for stern measures to rebuke increased espionage being conducted by China saying , “As President, I took the most dramatic action of any administration to curtail China’s ability to conduct espionage in the United States,” President Trump said. “And when I’m back in the White House, those efforts will be expanded in a very, very big way. Instead of hunting down Republicans, a reformed FBI and Justice Department will be hunting down Chinese spies.” Kamala Harris: The Harris campaign’s strategy leans heavily upon work conducted under the Biden-Harris Administration while leaving her responses to both the Russo-Ukrainian and Israeli-Hamas conflicts ambiguous. The only forward looking statements she offers on her campaign site is that “Vice President Harris will never hesitate to take whatever action is necessary to protect U.S. forces and interests from Iran and Iran-backed terrorist groups,” and ” Vice President Harris will always stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself and she will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself.” Regarding China she adds, “She has met with China’s Xi Jinping, making clear she will always stand up for American interests in the face of China’s threats,” but regarding the Russo-Ukrainian conflict she presents no policy plan on the page. According to the Associated Press , “The vice president has yet to specify how her positions on  Russia’s war with Ukraine  might differ from Biden’s,” suggesting that she is likely to continue Biden’s policy of pouring billions of American tax dollars into weapons, ammunition and other assistance  without pushing for a peace settlement between Kyiv and Moscow.

  • The Right Resistance: Look for the signs of Trump strength around you. Then go vote.

    Everyone knows, looks can be deceiving, especially in politics. Take the recent 2024 campaign dynamic as an example. If you’ve been paying attention to the news and the world around us, you may have sensed the presidential race has entered its final phase with Republican Donald Trump riding momentum into Election Day next week. Early voting has been going on for weeks in many spots, so, as Sean Hannity argued, Election Day is practically every day, but still, there’s something about “the” day that provides irrefutable evidence that something’s happening.   For those who caught Trump’s astonishingly well done “closing” rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City last weekend, if you’re like me, you probably concluded it doesn’t get much better than that. Granted I didn’t catch each speaker’s presentation in its entirety, but I tried ascertaining how a political event could improve on the model.   Literally, within hours came the cavalcade of negative condemnation from liberals looking to downplay Trump’s advantage, mostly belligerent about the “insult comedian” who made off color/tasteless remarks about Puerto Rico, among other smears. The Trump campaign disavowed the man’s presentation, but yet it was evident the damage may already have been done.   Trump is a master showman. He’s proven it time and again. But his formula for conducting live events sometimes lands him in trouble. In an opinion piece titled “The pros and cons of Trump’s political showmanship”, the usually on-point W. James Antle III wrote at the Washington Examiner  the other day :   “[T]he main takeaway from the event was an insult comic’s disparaging reference to Puerto Rico. The commonwealth island doesn’t get a vote in the presidential election, though Trump won more than 96% of the vote in its Republican primary. (It should be noted that only a little over 1,000 people voted and the other candidates on the ballot had already withdrawn.) Hundreds of thousands of Puerto Ricans living in the battleground states do, however.   “The Trump campaign distanced itself from the joke, which clearly fell flat with the audience as well. This has so far invited scrutiny of which other remarks at the sprawling multi-speaker rally the former president disavows or endorses.   “It is the paradox of Trump’s live events. A reality TV star, Trump nevertheless prioritizes entertaining and exciting his supporters in the arena no matter what the impact on the viewers at home. This was on display in his 90-minute acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.”   Yes, indeed. We’ve seen it all before. Trump holds one of his “standard” mass rallies and the establishment news media’s producers and commentators sift through the hours of “regular” footage to pinpoint one moment or collection of spliced together tidbits to show on the evening news and imply that the candidate was either off his game or acting like the Democrats say he does – namely, as a racist, sexist, “fascist” or generally an off-putting cad who gets people’s dander up.   It's an illusion, mostly, but the left has honed the impression carefully. They make it seem as though just about everyone despises Trump. They also say his fans will vote for him because conservative MAGA proponents are mind-numbed zombies, or just hate people, or are uninformed, misguided, propelled by “misinformation” or are consumed with dislike for women of color and/or ex-high school football coaches who served “honorably” for 24 years in the National Guard and never told a lie in his life.   Listening to the noise, a reasonable person may surmise Trump is way behind, and his political ship is listing badly and in danger of foundering and disappearing beneath the waves, never to be seen again except by a submersible searching for it. One that doesn’t implode, that is.   In other words, it’s not always easy to spot the clues that one of the candidates has established separation. If liberals are truly able to look at an event like what took place in Trump’s hometown last Sunday night and isolate one speaker from the rest of the who’s who of American political and cultural figures and find negativity, they just might have you believing the sky is falling in Trump world rather than correctly concluding Democrats are panicking and searching the landscape for something that will deliver them political life support.   Obsessing on the incremental – and slow – movement of opinion polls leads to insanity. After nearly ten years of Donald Trump residing in the realm of politics, we just can’t make heads or tails of how Americans really feel about him. On one side we’ve got the leftist establishment media and RINO establishment Republicans telling us Trump isn’t so well loved. On the other we have scenes on TV depicting gobs of red, white and blue adorned Trump fans turning out by the tens of thousands at nearly every Trump rally hoping to get in to see their candidate speak – something they could easily catch on TV if they really needed a Trump fix.   It's confusing and frustrating to say the least. So, in the interest of promoting mental stability just a few days before the election, here are indicators that reality isn’t so impossible, and sometimes seeing and living is believing.   Signs you can tell Trump is winning and/or you can detect that cackling Kamala and “Tampon Tim” are losing:   Number one : The volume of campaign text messages  imploring you to answer them and provide token assurance their candidate is still on your mind and in your heart. And that you’re possibly willing to dig deep and pad their war chest for the final stage – or provide substantive fuel for their post-election challenges.   Somehow, the Harris/Walz campaign got my telephone number and I was added to some Democrat list for donors and supporters. Actually, I should clarify – it was my wife’s name that was put on the rolls, since Kamala n’ Tim have personally  (written in the first person) reached out dozens of times over the past couple months, each of the urgently worded messages begging her/me to reply and confirm that I still intended to vote for them. Lately, the number of texts has increased dramatically, yet another sign of heavy breathing and desperation at Democrat campaign HQ.   As a side note, I’m sick to death of these practically hourly interruptions, but have kept my phone number on their roster to serve as a small bit of inside intelligence on their campaign and insight into what arguments they’re using. Does it matter to them? Probably not. But I can decipher the depth of their GOTV effort by the tone of their messages.   I get the Trump campaign messages, too, and they’re somewhat similar in style. But ever since I voted earlier this month, they’re much less frequent. But not from the Democrats. It means I’m not on their list of “supporters” who’ve already voted.   Number two : Your mother should know .   Contrary to the popular legend, mothers don’t know everything, but their innate intuition usually has a pretty good sense about things. For example, my mom was way more worried than I was in 2020, and her fears were justified on Election Night. Kind of like Fox News’s Jessie Waters, whose mom is a liberal (and he talks about a lot), mothers know when something ain’t right.   My mom seems happy about Trump’s chances this year. Does her prediction carry as much weight as Karl Rove’s does, with his white board in tow? You be the judge.   Number three : Who’s winning the yard sign/bumper sticker/campaign paraphernalia race ?   Similar to mom’s intuition, a greater number of yard signs in a neighborhood or bumper stickers on cars or quantity of hats and t-shirts isn’t dispositive of true support numbers, but they all provide clues as to the confidence people have in showing their “colors” with other folks around. Judging by the number of honks and thumbs up I receive when simply driving along – or being rudely cut off in traffic – my Trump bumper sticker is generally positively accepted.   Further, I talked with a group of MAGA hat wearing grandparents at a travel baseball tournament last weekend, and none of them harped on Trump cutting social security or Medicare. But they did express cautious optimism about the upcoming election outcome. To quote one gentleman: “Kamala Harris cannot win. People know it. Can you imagine her  in a meeting with Vladimir Putin?” No, I can’t.   Number four : Who’s showing their cards in the   Facebook public relations battle ? I’ve mentioned it before – I don’t personally post to Facebook. Haven’t in years. But I do enjoy “lurking” to see what others are posting. And based on the unrestrained worry exhibited by liberal friends, they’re terrified that cackling Kamala is lagging her MAGA opponent. Substantially behind. Trump social media backers display no such apprehensions.   One note – social media active liberals seem unaware that they have conservative friends, based on their heavily biased messages against Trump and not so veiled preaching regarding morals and conscience and responsibilities to our fellow human beings to vote for a woman/Democrat like cackling Kamala Harris. They’re so self-righteous, and their musings are all about personality and “fascism” and treating people as you would yourself. A couple of them are liberal “woke” church clergy, too. Is God punishing them for their ignorance?   We’ll discover the answer soon. I can’t wait to see what they post late next week if the election forecasts play out.   Other sure signs of Trump’s staying power:   Democrats have amped up the racism/sexism talk. If you haven’t caught it yet, check out Michelle Obama’s recent speech shaming men in Michigan . Man, they’re reaching. One almost feels sorry for Democrats being forced to watch them struggle. Almost.   Finally, some Democrat candidates are disassociating themselves with cackling Kamala – and outwardly praising Trump . You wouldn’t normally do this if you’re confident of victory, would you?   So yes, looks do deceive, especially when it comes to what the heinous, untrustworthy media shows. Donald Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden certainly won him a lot more votes than it might’ve lost him by having one idiot who no one’s ever heard of insult a suspect racial classification. Don’t believe the boo birds. Look for the “signs” – and then decide for yourself.

  • John Anthony – Why I'm Voting the Way I Am

    Someone recently asked me why I like Trump. My answer was that I don't really like a lot of things about Trump, but this election is not about choosing the most likable person.   We are voting between two vastly different ideologies. We are voting for the country we want to leave our children and grandchildren.   Trump has proven that he can deliver. He is a patriot to the core and even served his country for four years without pay. When someone says, "I can't believe you're voting for Trump," I simply reply, “I'm NOT voting for Trump!”   I'm voting for the First Amendment and freedom of speech. I'm voting for the right to speak my opinion and not be censored.   I’m voting for secure borders and LEGAL immigration.   I am voting for election integrity (which should include mandatory voter ID).   I'm voting for the Second Amendment and my right to defend my life and my family.   I'm voting for the police to be respected once again.   I am voting for law & order and an end to allowing protesters to trespass and burn our cities, destroying innocent small business.   I am voting for personal responsibility and the end of the revolving door where criminals are being put back on the street.   I'm voting for the Electoral College, and for the Republic in which we live.   I'm voting for the next Supreme Court Justice(s) to protect the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.   I’m voting for the continued appointment of Federal Judges who respect the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.   I’m voting for keeping our jobs to remain in America and not be outsourced all over the world - to China, Mexico and other foreign countries.   I am voting for doing away with all of the freebies given to all of the illegals while not looking after the needs of the American citizens and homeless veterans.   I'm voting to keep men out of women's sports.   I'm voting for the military & the veterans who fought for this country   I’m voting for peace progress in the Middle East, a return of our troops from foreign countries and minimizing America’s involvement in foreign conflicts.   I’m voting to fight against human/child trafficking.   I'm voting for Freedom of Religion.   I am voting for the return of teaching math, history, and science in K-12 schools, instead of the Woke indoctrination of our children.   I'm voting for my children and my grandchildren to ensure their freedoms   America is the greatest country in the world, which is why everyone wants to immigrate here. So why do you want to change it?   Why do politicians want to enact policies that have failed in other countries throughout history?   I'm not voting for Trump.   I'm voting for America. 2024 Election Get out the vote Trump campaign American economy jobs created government jobs labor market health insurance cost inflation shrinkflation savings rate

  • Revenge Of The Garbage People

    In a call organized by the Democrat-oriented Hispanic advocacy group Voto Latino, alleged President Joe Biden said, in reference to former President Trump's weekend rally at Madison Square Garden, “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters. His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American. It’s totally contrary to everything we’ve done, everything we’ve been.” So, let’s unpack this. D list comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who is an entertainer, not a campaign spokesman, makes a crack about the island of Puerto Rico being a “floating island of garbage” and suddenly, according to the President of all Americans, half of the country’s voters are “garbage”? Biden’s remark, and Harris’s refusal to disavow it, really tells you pretty much all you need to know about what leading Democrats (we won’t fall into the same trap and say all Democrats) think about the people they aspire to lead. To them, those of us who support President Trump for reelection aren’t the loyal opposition, or simply mistaken, or misinformed and can be brought around through logic and persuasion – we are garbage to be discarded. This isn’t the first time a leading Democrat has denigrated conservatives, Republicans, and other supporters of President Trump, so, you have to give Democrats credit for not hiding their true opinions; they never miss an opportunity to let the rest of us know they are the elite and we conservatives are the Untermenschen. Leading Democrats, including Biden, Harris, and her running mate Tim Walz, have regularly referred to President Trump and his supporters as Nazis and Fascists. Republican turned Democrat Charlie Crist once charged that Florida’s principled limited government constitutional conservative Republican Governor Ron DeSantis was appealing to the "hard right, toothless crowd."   And who can forget Hillary Clinton’s 2016 remarks putting Donald Trump’s supporters into two “baskets” and that half of them were in what she called “the basket of deplorables” including, as she put it, “The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic — you name it.”    This idea that conservatives, Republicans and Trump supporters are beneath contempt has filtered down from the top to Democrats at the grassroots. If America is so bad and full of “Nazis” and “garbage” why would Joe Biden and Kamala Harris want to lead such a country one might ask. The late Angelo Codevilla supplies an answer in the logic of revolutions : “Progressives deplore the ‘deplorables’ not to improve them, but to feel good about themselves. Hating people for what they are and because it feels good to hate them, is hate in its unalloyed form.” What Prof. Codevilla found after reviewing the history of the logic of revolutions is this insight about today’s radical Progressive Left:   The logic that drives each turn of our revolutionary spiral is Progressive Americans’ inherently insatiable desire to exercise their superiority over those they deem inferior. With Newtonian necessity, each such exercise causes a corresponding and opposite reaction. The logic’s force comes not from the substance of the Progressives’ demands. If that were the case, acquiescing to or compromising with them could cut it short. Rather, it comes from that which moves, changes, and multiplies their demands without end. That is the Progressives’ affirmation of superior worth, to be pursued by exercising dominance: superior identity affirmed via the inferior’s humiliation. It is an inherently endless pursuit.   The logic is rooted in disdain, but not so much of any of the supposed inferiors’ features or habits. If it were, the deplored could change their status by improving. But the Progressives deplore the “deplorables” not to improve them, but to feel good about themselves. Hating people for what they are and because it feels good to hate them, is hate in its unalloyed form. People of good will might be inclined to object to that characterization of Democrats: Surely “public service” or a desire to help the less fortunate or other eleemosynary ideals motivate most people seeking public office they would argue.   Biden, Harris and Walz have, without apology, proven that idealistic view to be complete bunk. In Presidential politics and in marketing, the general rule is that you criticize your competition, not the consumers who buy the competing product. Joe Biden’s characterization of Trump supporters as “garbage,” revealed once again the Democrats’ elitist contempt for the millions of Americans who legitimately recognize that American exceptionalism, American culture and their own economic futures are at risk because of what Donald Trump has called a politician made disaster, of which Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are the chief architects. The best revenge we garbage people can extract from those who hold us in such contempt is to vote Donald Trump into a second term as President.   Conservatives, we are in a battle for the survival of a free America established and created under God’s laws.  None should stay on the sidelines in this election.  Working together we can save America for our children, grandchildren, and future generations.

  • The Right Resistance: Final Halloween in Joe n’ Jill Biden’s world of delusions, tricks and fabrications

    Halloween Night at the White House, senile Joe Biden sits by the fire in the library struggling to stay awake so as to enjoy another meal and ice cream served by those gentle but firm people in formal attire who always patronize him without being prompted. Dr. Jill enters and cheerfully inquires, “Say, Joe, why don’t you take a break from your latest nap or perusal of classified documents and turn on the White House outdoor lights, throw open the front door and host trick-or-treaters for our last Halloween as masters of the big executive mansion,” Dr. Jill said, trying to sound upbeat and enthusiastic while wiping a tear from her eye and cursing as her makeup begins running from the incessant trail of bile from her gut.   For a long time – or at least since mid-July – the Bidens had dreaded the coming of fall. Not only would it be the final time the clan could deck out the White House in whatever scary Democrat party adornment they chose, Halloween comes just a few days before the dreaded Election Day, this time without the cantankerous old fart’s name appearing prominently on the nation’s ballots.   “No joke, those dang Founding Fathers purposely planned Election Day to fall right by Halloween,” Joe mumbled to no one in particular. “That way, Democrats could dress up like real human beings and campaign as though they planned to help people rather than win elections by branding their opponents as Hitler, spending lots of big donor money and going around telling whoppers about how they’ll ‘follow the law’ when asked if they want to pay for transgender surgeries for illegal aliens in prisons,” the mind-challenged old coot said.   “Halloween is the one day a year where you can pretend to be something you’re not and Americans will not only celebrate you, they’ll vote for you! Instead of handing out candy, we can distribute already filled-in ballots for revelers who knock at the door. Call up Hunter and tell him to get over here right away. He’s not in jail yet, is he? It wouldn’t be Halloween without ‘im,” Joe added hopefully.   The First pair mounted the grand staircase and slowly (because of Joe) made their way up to the main level expecting to find a mostly empty corridor staffed by a couple Secret Service sentries standing guard, protecting against any MAGA would-be assassins lurking to cut short his final few months at the House. But conservatives wouldn’t even think of political violence, so no guard was necessary.   Instead, Dr. Jill and senile Joe spotted cackling Kamala Harris and hubby Doug Emhoff peering around a doorway right at the Bidens, who didn’t appear to notice them at first. The unwelcome Democrat interlopers were poorly hidden behind a bust of one of the historic figures in the house they’d employed to conceal their presence. But try as she might, Kamala couldn’t stifle a loud giggle, exposing their presence to the landlords.   “Dang, Dougie! I told you not to tickle me when I’m not expecting it!” Kamala complained, still smiling maniacally under Halloween makeup. “Besides, I thought I picked out the perfect costumes/disguises for us. I’m dressed as an illegal alien sex trafficking victim and you, well, you blend in perfectly as a transgender freak with fake boobies. And instead of saying ‘Trick or Treat,’ I would ask for amnesty and a driver’s license, and you would, well, take your top off.” Doug looked irritated, like he was going to strike the woman, which has been known to happen when the misogynistic playboy was irritated. “Dammit, Kamala,” the possible future second husband paused to readjust his fake rack. “We both agreed that the only way we were ever going to enter the White House was to sneak in to it and avoid detection. Now we’re screwed,” Doug followed up with a frown.   Then, noticing Dr. Jill standing near the door, Dougie impulsively leaned over and planted a lengthy kiss on her lipstick-less lips, startling the woman who wasn’t anticipating the warmth at that moment. This wasn’t the State of the Union address, after all. “Oops, I’m sorry lady,” Emhoff whimpered. In this low light, you looked exactly like our former nanny from my previous marriage. She and I had to run around and kiss whenever the coast was clear, and for a second there, I thought it was.”   Dougie could scarcely contain his raging hormones but did so upon receiving the dirtiest of looks from his Democrat nominee wife, who added a sharp elbow to his solar plexus to emphasize the point – and inflict great pain. ‘That’ll teach him’, Kamala thought. ‘That’s the move I intend to use when he cheats on me.’   Realizing that it would be rude for him to expel the possible future rulers of the country on this Halloween night, senile Joe growled and uttered, “As long as you’re here, you might as well stay. You can help hand out treats to the visitors. You’ve got to be good for something, Kamala. You’ve embarrassed us all recently with your pathetic word salad answers and inability to lie convincingly about what you/I did during our time here at the helm.   “I thought it was Trump supporters who are the ‘garbage’ ones. Stop acting like trash, man.“Bend down in your best submissive pose and keep that trap of yours shut and let Jill and I do the hard work, like you’ve been doing since Inauguration Day,” Joe instructed. “Dougie, put your slobbery tongue back in your mouth and step to the side and try to blend in.”   Emhoff dutifully did as he was ordered, used to taking commands from brainless Democrat politicians with oversized egos.   Diiinnngggg-Dooonnnnggg went the doorbell. “Let’s go to work,” Joe yapped at Dr. Jill. She grimaced at the edict.   Opening the door, the first couple saw what looked like a white red neck dressed up in hunting gear. Or was it a football coach’s ensemble? The oddly outfitted man also sported a patch paying homage to Chairman Mao and Xi Jinping. To complete the set, he carried an expensive foreign manufactured shotgun that he was trying hard to load, but failed.   “Ah, Tim Walz! Thanks so much for stopping by!” senile Joe shouted in his usual voice, unable to account for his hearing loss. “Love the costume, Tampon Tim. I notice you’ve got a couple tampons tucked into a pocket for extra identification purposes! Don’t worry. We’re ready in case a transgender female shows up and needs to use the restroom!”   Walz grinned as he threw up his hands in the air and clapped as though he were just entering the space to deliver a speech at a rally, barking like a trained sea lion at an aqua show.   “Very funny, Tampon Tim,” Biden howled. “But this year, we’re not having a party. Just give him his take of checks from the Democrat war chest over there and send him on his way. Since you guys kicked me out of my reelection effort, I’ve declared that there shouldn’t be any more merriment or happiness. Now grab the loot and go,” senile Joe stated and looked around for the nearest exit where no one would notice they were hosting trick-or-treaters.   Just as Biden was about to sit down to save what was left of his energy, the doorbell rang again. Cracking the door this time, the octogenarian Delawarean noticed the figure of a witch, her gnarled fingers held up to disguise her nose that had a large wart on it.   “Say, cute little girl. Come closer so I can give you a hug, sniff your hair and rub your shoulders a little bit, will ya? I love kids. Some people say I love ‘em too much, but I used to help my daughter in the shower,” Biden said matter-of-factly.   Then, finally recognizing the old crone, “Nancy Pelosi, what are you doing here?” senile Joe and Dr. Jill said in unison, both members of the withering power couple disgusted that the traitor who’d engineered the coup that drove them out of power would have the gall to show her face at The White House. “I thought I made it clear that I was never going to speak to you again, Nance. You ruined my legacy. You tanked our party. That cackling idiot over there (gesturing to Kamala Harris) is gonna lose to Trump by double digits. What are we gonna do then?” Joe wondered to the empty space.   “Beyond that, you’re not even wearing a costume and this is Halloween! No Democrat money for you! I hope you get struck by the same kook who took out Paul at your house in the gay bay!”, the embittered old soul raged, not able to suppress his legendary temper at the unforgivable slights.   Realizing she wasn’t among friends there, without a word, Pelosi did as she was told, turned around and exited. Just out of view, she mounted her broom and took off, her silhouette temporarily visible against the full moon. A black cat hissed, frogs sounded off and somewhere nearby, a werewolf was heard, howling. It was spooky. Pelosi did her best sinister laugh, which caused cackling Kamala to add her own witchy impression, honed through many years of practice.   Noting that it was getting late – at least for him – senile Joe was about to kick Kamala and Emhoff out with a warning to not return when just then, Barack Obama and wife Michelle appeared at the opening. The Obamas had always particularly enjoyed Halloween, glorifying in the one night a year where they could purposely obscure their identities – and then scare children and adults without political repercussions.   Besides, Barack figured, if he could get a rise out of Biden, he might feel better about the way his old chum was summarily booted out of the Democrat nomination at his insistence. But getting a reaction from Biden was easier said than done these days, the bitter career politician still livid and delusional at being denied his chance to challenge Donald Trump again – and beat him to preserve his lifelong perfect election win record.   “Trick or frickin’ treat, Joe,” the tall graying man said in greeting. Me n’ Michelle were trying to figure out what to do tonight and we thought you might appreciate a visit on your final Halloween in this drafty old haunted house. Where are the cobwebs? Sheesh, we used to not have to decorate much it was so rundown when we were stuck living here.”   Then, Michelle interjected. “Barack, what’s the deal? Why are ghosts always depicted as white? That’s racist. Didn’t you see (the movie) ‘Ghost’? There were lots o’ ghostly brothers and sisters in that flick, and I’m not even talkin’ about Whoopie Goldberg. We need to diversify spook-dom a little bit. Or a lot. We need transgender ghouls, Asian zombies and banshees that have pigment, too. Or how about ‘Queers for Palestine’?   “What did Bibi Netanyahu say? That’s about the same as having something like ‘Chickens for KFC?’ Michelle concluded serenely.   Barack looked irritated when his wife spoke out of turn, like she always does in their retirement. “KFC? That actually sounds yummy, honey. Let’s blow this popcorn stand and make like a tree… and get outta here.”   Barack Obama is so “woke” he could even make nerd language sound cool.   Senile Joe just stood there with his mouth open and the others present couldn’t tell if he was just making his usual catatonic stare or his brain had finally locked and it was time to remove him to the care facility a few months ahead of his initial check-in date, which is January 20, 2025.   Just as Dr. Jill moved to slam the door shut, they discerned what appeared to be a vagrant woman struggling towards the mansion. “Quick! Hurry up! We don’t want any, okay?” Senile Joe leaped from his stupor, not wishing to extend the evening any longer to help another destitute victim of Biden-omics.   The hooded woman approached undeterred, threw off her covering and revealed what appeared to be a grotesque Kamala Harris mask complete with spoiled word salad remnants and a grin so twisted the face seemed like it was in its electoral death throes. In a voice vaguely familiar to them, Hillary Clinton continued “Trick or treat! I’m Kamala Harris! She’s gonna lose the election, just as I did, and it was too tempting to keep away tonight. What government goodies do you got for me? A $25,000 check for a house? A voucher for a taxpayer funded abortion? A bag of loot to pay for a transgender surgery for an illegal alien prisoner?”   Kamala and Dougie chafed at the old woman’s insinuation that dressing up as Kamala Harris implied that you were a loser. How nervy of the 2016 Democrat nominee! Just because she’d been campaigning for the Harris ticket doesn’t mean they’re all friendly now. Far from it.   “If you wanted to be a winner,” senile Joe expounded, “You shouldda wore a Trump mask. That’s all the treat you’d ever need, Crooked Hill. We’ll find out what it feels like to have Donald Trump retake this house in a little less than a week.   “For now, it’s past my bedtime. Hillary, Kamala and Dougie, you gotta vacate the premises, or we’ll sick the Biden dog on you. Or Hunter. Either way, you’re gonna end up with bite marks on your rear end. No joke. We’ll see you all for the Election Night non-celebration.

  • What Democrats Really Mean

    CHQ Chairman Richard A. Viguerie has a new post up on his gorightgobig Substack and among the points and pointers about how to market conservative ideas and candidates was that when Democrats talk about an issue they never say what they really mean. And the only way for Republicans and conservatives to win is to expose what Democrats really intend to do if they obtain power. Here are a few examples: When Democrats talk about “reproductive rights” it’s really .  . . Abortion Anytime and for any Reason (including the wrong gender)  -  Democrats want no restrictions on killing babies, even up until the moment of birth – and in some cases, even after, making America the most extreme nation on abortion.   When Democrats talk about “fixing immigration” it’s really .  . . A Free Pass for Illegals – A non-stop invasion of illegals who will give the Democrats a permanent election advantage to keep the White House and a ruling majority in Congress, state legislatures, and city/county governments.   When Democrats talk about “protecting Democracy” it’s really .  . . The Government is a Weapon – Continuing and expanding the use of the IRS, FBI, CIA, and DOJ to punish you for your political beliefs with possible imprisonment, bankruptcy from endless lawsuits, even loss of employment, including loss of your law license if you are a lawyer challenging election results for GOP candidates.   When Democrats talk about “free and fair elections” it’s really .  . . Elections “R” for Us  – Democrats will outlaw voter ID laws, push for 16-year-olds and felons to vote, and keep universal mail-in voting, making our elections less safe and secure and ripe for fraud.   When Democrats talk about “free speech” it’s really .  . . You Oppose, We Censor – Democrats will continue to use Big Media/Big Tech to shut down opposing political viewpoints and silence conservatives, and possible financial punishment and cancellation.  Hillary Clinton said the quiet part out loud, “social media companies must moderate content or else “we lose total control.”   When Democrats talk about “clean energy” it’s really .  . . Fossil Fuels Have to Go – Democrats want a full-scale ban on fracking and domestic oil drilling that will lead to sky high gas prices and make America energy dependent on countries that want to destroy us like Venezuela and Iran.  Their goal is to eliminate your gas-powered car, truck, stove, even your lawnmower.   When Democrats talk about “law and order” it’s really .  . . NO Gun for You – Democrats will waste no time enacting a mandatory (buyback) program and ammo restrictions that will leave law-abiding citizens and families defenseless against violent criminals, foreign gangs, and mobs.   When Democrats talk about “religious liberty” it’s really .  . . Man First, God Not at All - Ongoing use of the FBI to target Catholics attending Latin Mass and being labeled as “domestic terrorists” simply for practicing their faith.   When Democrats talk about “fair share of taxes” it’s really .  . . No Money for You - Allowing the 2017 Trump tax cuts to expire that will raise everyone’s taxes next year, more student loan forgiveness, $25 K to buy a house program, and other vote-buying “give-away” programs that will have the government taking more from paychecks and leaving less for families and small businesses to invest, save or spend, ultimately destroying economic growth and job creation.   When Democrats talk about “education” it’s really .  . . No Say Regarding Your Children’s Education – The Democrats want to outlaw parental review and oversight leaving government bureaucrats and radical teachers’ unions to decide what to teach kids such as allowing sexually explicit drag queen story hours and including pornographic books and videos for 6- and 7-year-olds. Conservatives never win national elections unless the election is nationalized around conservative issues. Among the most important actions you can take between now and Election Day, November 5, is to tell your friends, family, neighbors and others what Democrats really mean and why their vote is a crucial element of stopping them.   Conservatives, we are in a battle for the survival of a free America established and created under God’s laws.  None should stay on the sidelines in this election.  Working together we can save America for our children, grandchildren, and future generations.

  • The Right Resistance: Improbable Elon Musk wins most valuable participant in Trump’s 2024 campaign

    Sports fans recognize that in almost every successful, championship winning season, it’s almost impossible to forecast on Opening Day who will stand out and make the biggest contribution to the team when the rubber hits the road and it matters the most. There’s a reason why there’s only one most valuable player designation, and/or a single winner of the Super Bowl’s MVP. G.O.A.T. Tom Brady won both titles many times. He was about as close to a sure thing as they get in sports. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes may be the next in line for the designation.   But American politics is a different animal. Donald Trump made a splash in 2016, and largely through the force of personality and a winning populist Make America Great Again platform, won the political equivalent of most valuable player – and World Series MVP in November, 2016.   This year, nominations are still open for awards. My nominee is someone who few figured would play such a prominent role in the most critical of consequential elections. In an article titled, “Musk estimates $2 trillion of waste could be eliminated from federal budget”, Kerry Pickett reported on the man who I think should win all the accolades at The Washington Times  the other day :   “Billionaire executive Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, said he thinks that $2 trillion could be eliminated from the federal budget after being introduced at former President Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally.   “Howard Lutnick, the chairman-CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald and chairman of the Trump 2024 Transition Team, introduced Mr. Musk as the soon-to-be-head of the new Department of Government Efficiency. Mr. Lutnick, before he exited the stage, asked Mr. Musk how much could be ‘ripped out of this wasted $6.5 trillion House-Biden budget?’   “Mr. Musk responded, ‘I think nearly $2 trillion. All that double spending is taxation, whether it’s direct taxation or indirect taxation, your money is being wasted,’ he said. ‘And the Department of Government Efficiency is going to fix that. … ‘We’re going to get the government out of your back pocket and pocketbook. America is just not done.  It is going to be great,’ he said. ‘America is going to reach heights that it has never seen before.’”   Yes, it will. What honest, objective person doubts that Musk would do what he said he would do? Will the DGE (Department of Government Efficiency) be a new cabinet-level post? Would it need senate confirmation? Would “Chucky” Schumer and Patty Murray and Elizabeth Warren – and all the other Democrat senator kooks – go along with it?   Beyond the point, Elon Musk is the most valuable not-Trump member of the 2024 race. In the biggest of many improbable things concerning the Trump 2024 campaign effort is the emergence of Musk as a superstar, not only of the American culture wars, but also a major force in American politics. Longtime observers of the South African knew he had potential to be a mover and shaker on the political scene, but it took someone as eccentric and unique as Donald Trump to bring the intangibles of Musk to the forefront.   Musk and Trump are markedly different in the manner they’ve done business, how they see the world and how they conduct themselves in public, but the qualities they share are far more significant in the overall scheme of things. Both Musk and Trump have fed off their public personas to vastly expand the size of their business empires. Both have virtually limitless popularity within their own spheres, and both take an inherently practical view towards American politics.   You may recall Trump didn’t even officially become a Republican until sometime last decade (I don’t remember exactly when) and only signed up as a GOPer because he needed party machinery to run for president. Fans of American history know there’ve been a lot of ambitious wanna bes who aspired to take the top job of POTUS, but wouldn’t commit to being either a Democrat or Republican and thus conceded defeat before they even tossed their proverbial hat into the ring.   And that’s how we eventually got a wholly mediocre man like senile Joe Biden as president, and you could probably add George W. Bush to the list of mid-level talents (at best) who somehow got themselves elected to the White House.   But Americans love success stories, and it doesn’t matter what the figure is like as a man or a person as long as they’ve got an asterisk by their names in lists of remarkable people. Trump took his experience as a builder, tabloid celebrity and reality TV star, in a career that spanned decades, to acquire the notoriety and name recognition to have Americans pay attention to what he had to say when he did decide to dip his toe into the pool of politics.   Not all people love him, of course, but even the biggest Trump hater would have to admit that everyone knows him. Whereas in most elections there’s probably some hermit in a cabin with no electricity somewhere who’s never heard of either presidential aspirant (certainly true of Kamala Harris this year), but I’d challenge you to find an American who doesn’t know who Donald Trump is now.   The same is becoming true of Elon Musk, who’s gained fame as a new-age entrepreneur and businessman who’s attained, like Trump, a reputation that is outside of his products. Everyone who knows Musk associates him with Paypal, electric cars (Tesla) and space exploration – and “X”, the former Twitter – but Elon, through the course of contemporary politics, has developed a new identity, that of systemic outsider.   Democrat Senator John Fetterman (who is observant and wiser than I ever thought he would be) pointed out that Must would make a big difference in this race , but who could’ve figured it would be THIS  big?   Musk has become larger than life mostly due to his newfound friendship with Trump. I can’t say if it was a calculated move, but Elon’s decision to not only take sides but actively campaign for Trump has assured himself of long-lasting staying power in American politics.   Musk’s accent reminds this observer a little bit of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s, an Austrian who climbed the fame ladder through acting. But Elon, like Arnold, is precluded from ever thinking about running for president because of the Constitution’s birthright citizenship provision. So right from the get-go, we know Musk will never be president. But that can still work to his advantage.   Instead, Musk can arguably have just as much influence in the real world by being himself and championing principles and causes like Elon has done with the Constitution and Free Speech. Think about it. Through his purchase of “X” – formerly Twitter -- Musk has had a much larger impact on the 2024 election than he could have done just by being famous and influential.   And whereas liberal celebrities like LeBron James and Taylor Swift have social media followings in the tens of millions, they don’t sway public opinion. Or at least not that much.   But when Musk comes on stage like he did the other night at Madison Square Garden and boasts of being able to isolate $2 trillion from the federal budget to cut and eliminate due to pure waste, people pay attention. I can’t say for sure, but Elon, in that one moment, probably secured Trump many, many wavering voters who can’t stand Trump but will vote for him now because they reason Musk will be delving into government waste if Trump wins.   That’s an endorsement made of pure gold. Or electoral gold.   All along, Trump and Musk had enjoyed a kind of symbiotic relationship that’s benefited them both. Musk’s businesses now receive the advantage of being associated with the MAGA movement, and Trump’s MAGA earns Musk’s star power and credibility for votes for his campaign.   Sure, Musk takes a minimal business risk for being so public, which he first did after the initial assassination try on Trump’s life, but even people who hold his politics against him will still buy Musk’s innovative products. It’s a win-win situation. And Elon earns a bonus because he will guarantee America’s sacred principle of free speech.   At the same time, having Musk – possibly – placed in charge of governmental efficiency assures that the perpetual problem of waste, fraud and abuse will receive long needed attention by someone outside the government who has a vested interest in trying to rein in the beast. Many, many, conservative politicians have complained about the size of government, that it spends too much, is uncontrollable, unaccountable and irresponsible, but Musk gives the movement much desired “street cred”. When Musk talks, people listen.   Musk may not realize it, but he was Tea Party before there was such a thing as the Tea Party.   How popular is Musk? Well, statistics from Donald Trump’s appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast last week have come out, with the 2024 Republican candidate drawing nearly 35 million views thus far on YouTube, which is certainly impressive. But when Musk came to the show at Rogan’s invitation, he drew nearly 70 million  views , achieving Rogan’s number one of all time.   Told you Musk was the MVP.   When this is all over – if it (meaning the campaign) actually concludes – Donald Trump will have a lot of people to thank. Some people helped out because they wanted something from him. Others chipped in their money because they simply hoped his MAGA agenda would make America a better place, and having a government with credibility is vital to them.   With an assist to supporters like Musk, Trump may very well get the chance to Make America Great Again. Who would’ve ever thought?   Honorable mention for MVP goes to Tucker Carlson, who summed up Trump’s candidacy about as well as anyone has this year on Sunday night at Madison Square Garden. “ Liberation is the freedom to say what is obviously true as a free man and not a slave . Thank you, Donald Trump for that.” Joe Biden economy inflation Biden cognitive decline gas prices, Nancy Pelosi Biden senile Kamala Harris candidacy Donald Trump campaign Harris Trump debates J.D.

  • Our Firsthand Experience With Kamala Harris

    Longtime readers of CHQ may recall that back in September of 2015 we ran a series of articles detailing our battle with then-Attorney General of California Kamala Harris over her unconstitutional and illegal demands any organization soliciting funds in California submit an unredacted copy of their IRS form 990 to her – thus publicly disclosing their donors’ names and addresses. Federal regulations forbid states from requiring nonprofits to reveal their donors, however, if nonprofits didn’t comply with Harris’s demands, they could lose their license to solicit in California. There is already a federal process in place for the state to obtain the donor list of nonprofits they are investigating for wrongdoing, by-the-way.   As our colleague attorney Mark Fitzgibbons explained in a 2016 column  for the Washington Examiner:   The federal tax information privacy statute was written after abuses by Richard Nixon’s staffers, who targeted political enemies by obtaining their tax return information and having the IRS institute audits. The post-Watergate law is designed to prohibit snooping by government officials by defining unlawful “disclosure” of confidential tax information broadly as “making [it] known to any person in any manner whatever,” unless expressly authorized in the statute. Unlawful disclosure includes state officials obtaining confidential tax information outside the express authorizations of the federal statute.   Besides violating the federal privacy statute, Harris’s demands violate an essential notion of nongovernmental democracy that is at the core of American values: The right of private association.   The fear was that if these donors are revealed, the government could target them as was done in the Lois Lerner IRS scandal, where conservative groups were systematically discriminated against by the agency. But that didn’t stop Harris from threatening the organizations with blacklisting and crippling fines if they didn’t comply with her demands. We were among the leaders who organized dozens of organizations, including charities and major conservative nonprofits, nationally recognized attorneys specializing in nonprofit law and more than 1,400 citizens to file comments with Ms. Harris in response to a proposed rulemaking about how those donor names will be kept “confidential” from public disclosure. In a 2015 column titled “ You Wonder Why Americans Are Pissed Off ” (unfortunately taken offline when we switched web hosts) we explained that the constitutional threat to the First Amendment and the rights of free speech and association were just part of the problem with Kamala Harris’s demands. The other part, which didn’t get as much attention, perhaps because it is hard to put in legal terms, is the institutionalization of law breaking by the ruling elite that was behind Kamala Harris’s actions as California Attorney General.   In a society where the law was still respected and applied without political bias or intent Kamala Harris wouldn’t even thought of undertaking that blatant attempt to intimidate conservatives. And if she did, based on the plain meaning of the applicable federal law, a court would stop her.   But in the years preceding 2015 when Obama was President, and certainly over the years Kamala Harris has been Vice President, we Americans learned we no longer live in a society where the law is applied equally and without political bias or intent – we now live in a strange oligarchy in which a self-appointed elite, starting with the President and going right down to a state Attorney General and even local zoning officials, decides which laws apply to them and which laws they will follow. “You’ve got an attorney general breaking federal law, and you’ve got judges upholding her breaking the law and you wonder why Americans are pissed off,” Fitzgibbons told Casey Harper of the Daily Caller News Foundation. If Harris so cavalierly abused her power as Attorney General of California imagine what she would do as President. Establishment media looking to explain a host of today’s political and cultural phenomena – like the rise of Donald Trump as the leading contender for President – need look no further than Mark Fitzgibbons’ comment, “You wonder why Americans are pissed off,” about Kamala Harris’s attempt to institutionalize government intimidation of her political opponents for their answer. Conservatives, we are in a battle for the survival of a free America established and created under God’s laws.  None should stay on the sidelines in this election.  Working together we can save America for our children, grandchildren, and future generations.

  • It’s now down to THEM or US

    We are rapidly approaching a point of no return. It is now or never, and this battle has but two sides – any other choices are chimeras to draw one away from the combat zone. We are in a war over freedom versus slavery or death.  No middle ground.   I think the Southern Poverty Law Center says it for THEM best:   To listen to such groups , Agenda 21 will lead to a “new Dark Ages of pain and misery yet unknown to mankind.” It is “a comprehensive plan of utopian environmentalism, social engineering, and global political control,” the “most dangerous threat to America’s sovereignty” yet. It will “make our nation a vassal” of the UN, result (sic) in “the destruction of our lives,” force rural areas’ “population [to be] decimated,” and lead to having “90% of the population murdered.” The end, these critics all agree, will be the imposition of “a collectivist world government.”   Exactly – per statements from their own mouths/books/videos.   Eradicate sovereign nations/ Threat to America’s sovereignty   “To achieve world government, it is necessary to remove from the mind of men, their individualism, loyalty to family traditions, national patriotism and religious dogmas,” Chisholm, former Director of the World Health Organization   “Regionalism must precede globalism. We foresee a seamless system of governance from local communities, individual states, regional unions, and up through to the United Nations itself.” UN Commission on Global Governance   “The only hope for the world is to make sure there is not another United States We can’t let other countries have the same number of cars, the amount of industrialization we have in the US. We have to stop these Third World countries right where they are.”  Michael Oppenheimer, Professor at Princeton University   Reduce population   “The earth has cancer, and the cancer is man”.  Paul Ehrlich, professor, Stanford University.   “Human beings, as a species, have no more value than slugs.”  John Davis, editor Earth First! Journal   “A cancer is an uncontrolled multiplication of cells; the population explosion is an uncontrolled multiplication of people. We must shift our efforts from the treatment of the symptoms to the cutting out of the cancer.”  Paul Ehrlich   “The extinction of the human species may not only be inevitable but a good thing.” Christopher Manes, Earth First!

  • The Right Resistance: Too late for Dems to take Kamala Harris back; history will judge them harshly

    Doubt. Second guessing. Hindsight is 20/20. The morning after. Regret. Monday Morning Quarterbacking. Backseat driving. Waking up and realizing that Kamala Harris is your presidential nominee… and “Tampon Tim” Walz was her veep choice when Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro’s name was still on your fantasy politician draft board.   No doubt, there are lots of times when we wish we could take something back. Nobody’s perfect. No matter how hard you try, there will be regrets. Depending on your golf group’s game rules, there very well may be do-overs during a match, but it’s not true in life and certainly not in politics.   Earlier this summer Democrats – or should I say, Democrat elites – decided they needed to replace their presidential nominee. Ancient and senile president Joe Biden had caused a stir when he completely bombed his presidential debate with Donald Trump. The Republican is only a few years younger, but Biden’s shaky performance and subsequent precipitous drop in opinion polls sent liberals into a panic.   They reacted in haste, figuring even if Biden were “convinced” to leave the race voluntarily that they’d need enough time to find a substitute to mount a credible campaign. Vice president cackling Kamala Harris was senile Joe’s convenient replacement of choice, so she had a leg-up on any potential fill-ins. Long after the primaries had concluded but before the party convention, the affirmative action hire suddenly made the most sense.   So Democrats seemingly forgot everything they’d learned about cackling Kamala in the past four years and tried cleaning her up and dressing her so as to appear to be the best thing since sliced bread. The ruse worked, for a while, but now with Harris’s prospects for winning the election apparently in the doldrums, some observers are speaking up, suggesting that maybe senile Joe Biden would have been the best alternative after all.   Regret is a bad thing in politics. It leaves a bad taste in your mouth. In an opinion column titled “What if Joe Biden was the better candidate all along?”, author Harlan Ullman wrote at The Hill  last week :   “Trump is only three years younger than Biden. He is certainly not immune to the vagaries of health, as his vice presidential nominee, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) understands. But Biden is not running.  And with the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, Biden now has an opportunity to help conclude a peace agreement in the Middle East. That would be Biden’s legacy. One hopes he will pursue that opportunity.   “As I have previously written, Americans may not know the winner right away, given the likelihood of contested districts and recounts. Yet, when the 47th president is decided, at some stage, people may wonder whether the best choice was not Harris or Trump.    “In retrospect, perhaps America would have been better served if the 46th president Joe Biden won a second term.”   Not to get too far off point, but if there is a peace agreement forged in the Middle East, it will not have come from the guidance and wisdom of senile Joe Biden. Israel’s killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was consummated through the brilliance and perseverance of its leader, Bibi Netanyahu, not because broken down senile Joe or feckless cackling Kamala had much to do with it.   If anything, the Democrats have been trying to pump the brakes on the Israelis to no avail, a circumstance that has Muslim Democrats actively running towards the Green Party’s Jill Stein  – or Trump himself. Democrats bought themselves a truckload of trouble by turning their backs on their Jewish supporters and friends. You can’t appease everyone, something Democrats are learning in a very hard (for them) way.   And while Ullman’s should-have-kept-Biden point is well-taken, it’s extremely hard to fathom how Democrats would’ve been better off keeping senile Joe as their nominee. Yes, he’d earned their votes during this year’s party primary race, but his mental and cognitive shortcomings were plain for all to see then – and now. Senile Joe’s enjoyed a smidgen of a popularity resurgence of late but it’s mostly due to the fact he’s no longer in view and fickle Democrats who are wary of cackling Kamala are yearning for the old days when Biden’s purported electoral prowess was still in evidence.   Senile Joe was, at best, everyone’s second choice throughout his career. He only got the Democrat nomination in 2020 because Bernie Sanders was such a kook, and Barack Obama was term-limited out of eligibility. Obama wife Michelle didn’t want the responsibility of being president, so she opted out in order to free herself to vacation without hindrance.   Plus, Democrats realized far too late that it was impossible to hide cackling Kamala’s considerable shortcomings, starting with the fact she appears unable to even put two coherent sentences together without someone shouting “word salad, pass the dressing!” in her presence.   When they initially tapped Harris to fill-in for senile Joe, she looked like a potential winner. Over two decades younger, better looking (when all made up) and sporting a phony but pleasant smile, cackling Kamala was the logical choice. She was a woman! The party’s fervent single female, abortion-loving base would go nuts over her. So would everyone else, right?   But it didn’t work out that way.   Part of the problem, as I see it, is cackling Kamala regularly tells people she’s “been clear” on her positions, or that “the choice has never been clearer” on the history of certain matters, basically upending and insulting each voter’s sense of perception and common sense. Kind of like, if it’s obvious  to every good Democrat, why are you so obtuse and don’t get it? Don’t you see how clear it is?   Donald Trump never says such a thing. He’d much rather restate his own position no matter how many times he’s already said it. That’s the way to clarify your views.   Harris has been insulting her own voters since she became the nominee a few months ago, and her boss, senile Joe Biden, has berated Americans for not seeing things the way he does, too. It’s not just Trump supporters, either, as if a regular citizen doesn’t get onboard with the way Democrats see the immigration crisis, they’re either not paying attention – or uninformed.   Watch an episode of “The View” and you’ll see what I mean. Each of the crows sitting around their table with the cameras rolling basically spouts opinions non-stop while ignoring the opposite point-of-view and belittling their adversaries for being stupid. Even the partisan conservative media, perhaps best embodied by Fox News’s evening advocacy show line-up, backs up their points-of-view with video clips. Democrats just expect people to go along with them, and when they don’t, they start insulting the viewers.   It was like that with their Harris-for-Biden switcheroo, too. Granted, Democrats were in a rush to find an alternative to Biden and they didn’t have excess time to waste. They didn’t consider that Biden may have made a comeback to his performance in the second debate and it may have marked the return of the Joe Biden who could lie effectively and flash anger whenever it was needed.   Or they might have just figured Trump would implode at some point. Democrat prosecutors were after him, and the ranks of the Never Trump Republicans hadn’t exactly shrunk. It had happened before (at least according to them). To Democrats, Biden nearly became a great president. It was Congress that prevented him from accomplishing what he’d set out to do.   Democrats were giddy when the 2022 Republican “wave” election didn’t materialize – and there were many, many chuckles and guffaws as the new House majority party took forever to vote in a new Speaker, but the success of the GOP in that election, and Trump’s connection to it, spelled doom for the balance of senile Joe Biden’s and cackling Kamala’s administration at the congressional level.   Recall how Democrats had taken generous advantage of having Speaker Nancy Pelosi steering the House ship those first two years, with liberals proposing and passing massive spending legislation (hat tip Mitch McConnell on some of the biggest bills that squeaked through) and fell just barely short of cramming through “voting rights” proposals that would’ve cemented a permanent Democrat majority and presidencies as far as the eye could see.   It was fate – not votes – that stalled senile Joe Biden’s agenda. Didn’t Pelosi herself brag about what a consequential president he’d been and that Joe’s chiseled jaw belonged etched into Mt. Rushmore because of all he’d done (to) for the United States ?   For her part, Kamala’s campaign events with Liz Cheney have featured “Country Over Party” signs, which is supposedly what Biden did by taking himself out of contention in 2024 and allowing Harris to go on and wage a “New way forward” campaign. Or “turn the page” or whatever slogan Democrat spinmeisters invent to make it seem like Kamala isn’t anything like Biden.   Those who look back and now wonder whether they removed Biden too early, they have to remember just how bad senile Joe was as a candidate. Democrats have tried to hide Kamala from the media, and when they finally turned her lose, she’s done something embarrassing at every turn.   Harris has tried everything – to be the “joyful” presidential runner, reinventing her record and positions on issues, injecting race into the equation, to make the contest all about Trump and more recently, to emerge aggressive and angry, just like her boss. Unfortunately, Democrats haven’t found a formula that truly works for them.   It’s hard to pinpoint the exact moment Democrats realized they’d made a mistake in replacing Joe Biden with the truly awful Kamala Harris. But it’s far too late to go back, and they’re stuck with what they’ve got. Biden is senile and Harris is pathetic. Sounds like a good summation of the Democrat party itself.
