Kamala Wants to Frame Campaign As Prosecutor Versus Felon: That’s Not Good … for Her

 

https://redstate.com/rusty-weiss/2024/07/24/kamala-wants-to-frame-campaign-as-prosecutor-versus-felon-thats-not-good-for-her-n2177308

 

The fledgling campaign for Kamala Harris is reportedly seeking to frame the 2024 presidential election as a prosecutor versus convicted felon narrative.

The initial observation here is that the “felon” in this story is actually not the bad guy.

If the vice president wants to push her record as district attorney in San Francisco and later as California attorney general, she does so at her peril.

Doing so would expose her as an inept investigator, a champion of jailing poor minorities, and an avid supporter of defunding the police while funding criminals.

Let’s take a look, shall we? We’ll start with her issues struggling to connect with minority communities, something Democrats are relying on in making headway in the race against Donald Trump.

A video from an appearance at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco in 2010 shows Harris gleefully relaying a story about threatening parents with jail time if their kids skipped school.

“I believe a child growing without an education is tantamount to a crime,” Harris told the crowd in attendance. “So I decided I was going to start prosecuting parents for truancy.”

The video shows a smiling and laughing Harris sharing this story, noting that she had the political capital to try and “get those kids in school” by threatening their parents.

 

Critics were quick to point out that those most vulnerable to Harris’s over-zealous prosecution of parents were low-income minority families.

Harris, in another clip, can be heard describing how she tried intimidating a single homeless mother of three kids.

The Democrat can be seen laughing about sending her office’s homicide and gang prosecutors to school to meet with the struggling woman.

“When you go over there, look really mean,” she recalled.

Harris would later suggest she was simply trying to connect parents to the resources they needed. Then, the charges would be dropped….

Lifetime Pennsylvania Democrats are becoming Republicans

 

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/3096631/lifetime-pennsylvania-democrats-are-becoming-republicans/

 

TYRONE, Pennsylvania — Shirley Hall has always lived in this charming Blair County borough, located a few miles from the big city of Altoona and once the home of booming coal and paper mill industries. She has also been a Catholic all of her life and for most of it a registered Democrat, two attributes she says are, or at least were, a profound part of her identity.

 

She is still a Catholic, faithfully so, but last week when watching former President Donald Trump walk into the convention hall in Milwaukee just two days after being shot, she changed her voter registration on the spot.

 

In short, she is not just a Democrat voting for Trump come November, but she is now a Republican and will be voting so up and down the ballot. How solidly Democrat was Hall? The retired administrator for a local Catholic church voted for Barack Obama twice and Hillary Clinton in 2016 and did not vote for Donald Trump in 2020.

 

“I didn’t vote for Biden either. I just didn’t vote for either man that year,” Hall said.

 

Hall said a number of things led to her pivotal decision last week. “The last three years had really disheartened me in how my party had handled inflation, never recognizing that it is really impacting people’s lives, but also the border and how that has made accessing drugs even easier for people,” she said.

 

But the 78-year-old grandmother of two said she has great concern for the younger generation because of her grandsons, “not just because of them but because of all young people, with the debt, higher taxes, our education system, our immigration system, and I’ve been really frustrated with the whole thing.”

 

She adds, “I want to tell you, oh, I’m not a big Trump fan when he goes on too much, but I also recognize he can also be very likable. But after the shooting, as an American citizen, I really felt bad.”

 

Hall says she was curious to catch Trump at the convention, something she would not normally watch.

 

“I wanted to see his demeanor, and I was really moved by him when he came in,” she said. “As a matter of fact, I had tears in my eyes when he did. He really looked like he took a blow, not only physically but emotionally, which I’m sure he did.”

 

She added, “I used to work for a priest [who was] a bit gruff and a pain in the butt, and he grumbled and growled and shouted and yelled. And yet he had the wherewithal to feel for people. He did that. Well, that was what I saw in Trump. And I thought, ‘I’m changing my party.’ Click, click, click, click, click. I went into my computer and did it.”

 

The choice of Vice President Kamala Harris to replace President Joe Biden on the Democratic ticket after last weekend’s dramatic turn of events changed nothing for Hall, who said, “First, I like her less than Biden. She is much further left than I am comfortable with for our country. And second, she was shoulder to shoulder with Biden on every big policy decision that has been made the past three years, so she is the same as him only more removed from now former Democrats like me.”

 

Hall’s decision is notable, Chris Borick, political science professor at Muhlenberg College, explained, in that she is not just a Democrat voting for Trump but “she has shed her Democratic Party identity in its entirety, that is as personal to her as her identity as a Catholic.”

Trump And Teddy Roosevelt Have More Than Courage In Common

 

https://thefederalist.com/2024/07/24/trump-and-teddy-roosevelt-have-more-than-courage-in-common/

 

At the Republican National Convention, Donald Trump Jr. compared his father to legendary President Teddy Roosevelt. As Jr. pointed out, an attempted assassination of TR had occurred less than a mile from the current-day convention site in Milwaukee in 1912. Running a third campaign to get back in the White House after a previous term as president, Roosevelt was hit in the chest by the would-be assassin’s round on the way to deliver an address.

 

Roosevelt famously continued speaking while bleeding from his wounds and vowed that it would take more than a bullet to kill a “bull moose.” Trump memorably raised his fist mere seconds after almost losing his life on July 13 and powerfully encouraged the crowd to “fight!” in the face of evil.

 

At a 2015 debate watch party before Trump was even taken seriously by many Americans, an early supporter named Ron VillaReale first introduced the parallel to me: “The silent majority is sitting there waiting for a leader. He’s the first person since Teddy Roosevelt who has even bothered to act like a leader or even had any sense of what leadership really is.”

 

Even the corporate media have tried their hand at Trump and Roosevelt comparisons in the past, with John Blake writing a screed at CNN in December of 2022 about how the schism Roosevelt caused with a third-party run with the Bull Moose Party could come to be Trump’s legacy as well. So far, Trump has brought immense leadership to the GOP instead and continues to give considerable boosts down-ballot to people he endorses.

 

The similarities between Trump and Teddy don’t stop there. Both in-your-face New Yorkers from rich families, Roosevelt and Trump blazed their own trails in life, becoming avowed nationalists and champions of the working class, often striking a populist tone. Where Trump has “America First,” Roosevelt had his “new nationalism.”

 

Both promised to stand up to special interests and detached elites in D.C., with Roosevelt even being offered a vice-presidential spot to steer him away from causing any undue rocking of the boat in the Oval Office. Both had a struggle within the GOP to become the acknowledged chief, navigating party insiders who thought they were too brash, outspoken, and reckless.

Parallels in Foreign Policy

 

Where Trump brags about his work pulling out of the “worst deal ever” — the Iran Deal — and says he can “end a war with a phone call” and prevent wider war with Russia, Roosevelt helped broker a treaty between Russia and Japan to give the U.S. Navy greater leverage and dominance in the Pacific.

 

Where Trump is well-known for demanding NATO pay its fair share and asking Germany to up its defense budget instead of relying on America, Roosevelt demanded that Germany fall in line with the Monroe Doctrine. Where Trump rose to prominence on a secure border platform, Roosevelt negotiated an immigration agreement with Japan.

Working with Industry

 

Roosevelt’s remarkable Great Outdoors Act, a landmark in conservation law, was passed along with sponsorship from senators in the fossil fuel industry. Trump, likewise, isn’t afraid to work hand-in-hand with industry and put American industry first. “Drill, baby, drill!” was heard at the Milwaukee convention, but you won’t hear that anywhere at the Democrat convention this August in Chicago.

 

If Trump can move further on conservation and environmental protection without buying into the “Green New scam,” as he termed it, that would be another welcome step forward in policy that doesn’t have to kneecap industry and U.S. energy independence to succeed.

Nicknames

 

When it comes to nicknames, you guessed it: Roosevelt was also a big fan, calling his opponent William Howard Taft “puzzlewit” and “flathead,” among other appellatives. Despite working with him previously, Roosevelt turned on Taft in his 1912 third-party run, somewhat akin to Trump turning on former VP Mike Pence and the GOP “establishment” of Paul Ryan and co. If there’s one thing even Trump detractors can admit, it’s his acumen for applying childish but effective and demeaning nicknames to his opponents on the campaign trail and when he sought the nomination in 2016.

 

While TR had previous experience as a state legislator, governor, police commissioner, and high-ranking Navy official, Trump rose through the real estate and show business world. However, Trump has made his lack of insider experience before the presidency a selling point rather than a deficit.

Fighting On

 

The point is this: Trump is brave to have run in 2016. He’s brave to have run in 2020 and now in 2024. He’s brave to keep running after having narrowly dodged death. He’s a symbol to everyone to get up when they’re down and never give up. And that’s a damn powerful symbol…moar at link

17 Facts Expose Kamala Harris’ Far-Left Record

 

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/07/24/17-facts-expose-kamala-harris-far-left-record/

 

Vice President Kamala Harris is not a moderate.

 

GovTrack’s scorecard ranked her as the most radical senator in 2019, further left than socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), and leading writers of the New York Times rated Harris as the least electable of ten possible Democrat nominees.

 

It is unlikely Harris will campaign on her record. Her policies are unlikely to resonate with voters in swing states or overcome objections about voters’ diminished standard of living under the Biden-Harris administration.

 

A majority of voters (51 percent) believe their financial position is worse off under the Biden-Harris administration’s economic policies, a Financial Times/Michigan Ross poll found in May.

 

Harris championed the administration’s record of policy blunders on Monday in her first appearance since jumping into the Democrat primary race.

 

“Joe Biden’s legacy of accomplishment over the past three years is unmatched in modern history,” she claimed, asking people to clap. “In one term — he has already — yes, you may clap. In one term, he has already surpassed the legacy of most presidents who have served two terms in office.”

 

Below are 17 examples of Harris’ far-left record:

 

Co-sponsored legislation to protect illegal immigrants from deportation

Backed Bernie Sanders’ Medicare for All legislation

Backed banning private health insurance

Supported giving taxpayer-funded coverage to illegal immigrants

Supported banning fracking

Backed defunding the police

Compared ICE to the KKK

Wanted to ban plastic straws

Defended banning offshore drilling

Wanted to “undo” the Trump administration’s border security, taking 94 executive actions in their first 100 days to rescind nealy every Trump-era measure

Supported decriminalizing illegal border crossings

Said she wouldn’t “treat” illegal aliens as “criminals”

Called for “starting [ICE] from scratch”

Argued that temporarily closing the border violated federal law

Raised money for the Minnesota Freedom Fund, a far-left organization that pays to bail out of jail violent criminals, including accused murderers and rapists.

Supported Los Angeles’s cuts to their police department

Called efforts to add more police to the streets “wrongheaded thinking”
