If Donald Trump’s Sex Life is Fair Game for the Election, So is Kamala Harris’

Pundit and talk radio host Erick Erickson recently went on a rant about how “both parties have nominated terrible candidates whose supporters have decided to behave terribly to bully people into supporting their terrible candidate.” Erickson makes it known he’s still inclined to vote for Trump, but you’d think any prominent right-wing pundit who publicly expresses doubt about Donald Trump two months before the election would be chalked up as a win for Kamala supporters.

But then there’s the Leninist wing of Never Trump. Sarah Longwell, publisher of The Bulwark, a site largely run by fraudulent conservatives who are funded by left-wing billionaires to help Democrats win elections, really didn’t like Erickson’s tone:

Someone sent me a radio rant by @EWErickson about my disagreement with some at the Dispatch in which he said: ‘Kamala Harris has done nothing but climb the ladder of power since the moment she got up off her knees in front of Willie Brown to put it bluntly to you.’ Swell guy.

Setting aside Erickson’s crude imagery, I’ve covered Kamala Harris’ relationship history more extensively before, but here’s a summary of the facts as we know them: When Harris was a subordinate in the San Francisco DA’s office, she started dating Willie Brown, the most powerful man in California politics, who was 31 years older and married. After the current DA passed over Kamala Harris, a woman who failed the bar exam and is not exactly known for her mastery of the law, Brown was instrumental in alienating the existing DA, and was personally involved in raising money and running Harris’ successful campaign to get elected district attorney. Once in office, Harris let a number of Willie Brown’s friends off the hook when they were facing serious charges — including an egregious case where she let a city contractor and Willie Brown donor skate after endangering people’s lives after defrauding taxpayers by using cheaper, structurally unsound recycled concrete to build bridges and other important structures. This was all reported on in detail by local San Francisco media when it happened, who aren’t exactly in the business of pushing right-wing smears.

And yet, Sarah Longwell thinks Erickson is a bad person because he rather bluntly states the fact that Kamala Harris abased herself personally and engaged in political corruption at the behest of a man who demonstrably advanced her political career. I would have been more circumspect than Erickson, but 26 years after Bill Clinton’s “dalliance with an intern,” I’m supposed to believe Longwell and her colleagues are on their fainting couches because a pundit made a reference to oral sex?

WATCH: Secret Service Agents ‘Violently Push’ Americans Out of the Way So Jill Biden Can Go Shopping

A video of Secret Service officers bullying Americans to get out of the way so Jill Biden can go shopping is prompting a new episode of speculation about her desire for power.

The situation developed as Joe and Jill Biden took yet another vacation, this a taxpayer-funded weeklong break in Santa Ynez, California.

Jill Biden and other family members apparently decided to visit nearby Los Olivos.

The Gateway Pundit documented, “Secret Service agents violently pushed peasants out of the way so Jill Biden could go on a shopping spree on Friday afternoon. Jill Biden made a ‘surprise visit’ in Los Olivos and bystanders with cameras were roughly cleared out.”

One security detail member screamed, “Out of the roadway! Move now! Go!” at the public, while violently pushing a woman. (Read more from “WATCH: Secret Service Agents ‘Violently Push’ Americans Out of the Way So Jill Biden Can Go Shopping” HERE)

Democrat Lawmakers Dismiss Kamala Harris’s Price-Control Plan

A series of insider revelations have surfaced indicating that multiple Democrat lawmakers are privately dismissing Vice President Kamala Harris’s controversial grocery price-control plan, which has faced substantial backlash from economists and critics alike.

Politico reports that Democrat lawmakers are quietly signaling to concerned allies that Harris’s proposal, unveiled during her first policy-focused speech on August 16, is unlikely to advance through Congress. The plan, which has been described as “Soviet-style” by critics, aims to impose central price controls on food products. According to Politico, lawmakers have expressed doubts about the plan’s feasibility and effectiveness, with one anonymous Democrat describing it as a “lofty goal” and another admitting uncertainty about its operational mechanics.

An insider close to the White House has revealed that Harris’s plan does not effectively address the inflation issues plaguing the country. The insider remarked, “If we had a good tool, we’d definitely have used it,” suggesting that the administration’s attempt to address rising grocery prices is inadequate.

Data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) highlights a troubling 22 percent increase in grocery prices from January 2021 — when President Joe Biden and Harris first took office — to July 2024. Despite this, the Biden-Harris administration has downplayed inflation concerns, with White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre inaccurately claiming in June that prices for staple items like eggs and milk, as well as gasoline, have decreased.

According to Politico, several lawmakers and aides interviewed under anonymity have confirmed that Congressional Democrats are privately acknowledging the impracticality of Harris’s plan. A food industry official echoed this sentiment, labeling the proposal as “not a serious policy” and suggesting it is more of a political maneuver designed to deflect blame from the administration’s handling of inflation.

Criticism of the plan has been further amplified by Washington Post columnist Catherine Rampell, who penned a scathing op-ed describing the proposal as a “sweeping set of government-enforced price controls” that would undermine market dynamics. Rampell warned that such a policy would replace supply and demand with bureaucratic control, potentially allowing agencies like the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to dictate prices for basic goods.

The DNC Has Just Been One Long Litany of Stupid, Obvious Lies

It almost goes without saying that what Democrats are putting on at the DNC this week in Chicago is a simulacrum of democracy, a mimicry of the excitement and drama that might have come from a deliberative process of Democrat Party voters choosing their presidential candidate.

None of it is real. The DNC has all the trappings of a major political party convention but without any of the substance. Not a single Democrat voter cast a primary ballot for Vice President Kamala Harris, yet Democrats are going through the motions as if that’s exactly what happened.

They even trotted out President Joe Biden—the putative head of the Democrat Party, whose reelection campaign was abruptly ended by party bosses against his will—late on the first night of the convention. It was a mere formality. Biden delivered a slurred, angry speech, full of lies and distortions, and then they shuffled him off to Santa Barbara for the rest of the week, rendering the sitting president a nonparticipant in his own party’s convention.

But Democrats’ fakery goes deeper than just pantomiming a democratic process after executing a coup against the sitting president. The Harris-Walz campaign branding of “joy”—repeated this week ad nauseum by the propaganda press—is obviously fake and forced. By running a campaign almost completely devoid of policy substance or any real interaction with the news media, consisting mostly of staged videos of Harris and Walz yukking it up on the campaign trail or delivering speeches via teleprompter at highly controlled rallies, Democrat Party leaders are essentially running a psy-op on the American electorate.

A big part of that psy-op is to lie and mislead brazenly about everything. On the opening night of the convention, Biden repeated the infamous “very fine people on both sides” hoax and the “suckers and losers” hoax, both of which anyone can easily look up in 30 seconds. He also claimed that 500,000 new electric vehicle charging stations have been created under his administration (the actual number is seven), among many other blatant falsehoods.

Kamala Harris Sure Did Have an ‘Unexpected’ Path to Becoming the Democratic Nominee

On Thursday, Vice President Kamala Harris formally accept the nomination at the DNC. The speech wasn’t remarkable. It was also boring and disorganized, with our friends at RedState highlighting particular moments.

Early on, Harris mentioned President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden. Tellingly, they weren’t present. Biden gave his speech on Monday night, at a shamefully late time, and left.

“When I think about the path that we have traveled together, Joe, I am filled with gratitude,” she claimed. It makes sense, considering he stepped aside so that she could replace him.

Even more telling, Harris declared that “America, the path that led me here in recent weeks was no doubt unexpected, but I’m no stranger to unlikely journeys.”

Harris didn’t earn a single vote in the 2020 or 2024 primaries. She ran for president for 2020 but dropped out in December 2019. She was selected as Biden’s running mate after he promised to pick a black woman. (Read more from “Kamala Harris Sure Did Have an ‘Unexpected’ Path to Becoming the Democratic Nominee” HERE)

Biden Suggests Trump Supporters Are Stupid at DNC: ‘Can’t Think, Can’t Read Very Well’

President Joe Biden’s speech at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) on Monday night has sparked controversy for its inflammatory rhetoric directed at supporters of former President Donald Trump. Biden took aim at Trump supporters with a disparaging comment about their intelligence and reading abilities.

In his speech, Biden questioned the nation’s educational system and blamed Trump and his allies for purported failures. “How can we be the greatest nation in the world without the best education system in the world?” Biden asked. “Donald Trump and his Republican friends, they not only can’t think, they can’t read very well.” The comment was met with laughter from the audience, but it has since drawn significant criticism from various quarters.

Biden’s remarks echo Clinton’s 2016 comments when she described Trump supporters as a “basket of deplorables.” At the time, Clinton faced intense backlash for labeling half of Trump’s supporters as part of a “basket” filled with individuals she deemed “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic.” The Trump campaign had condemned Clinton’s remarks as a display of “true contempt” for everyday Americans, criticizing her for failing to maintain a positive campaign.

The Trump campaign was quick to respond, drawing parallels between Biden’s speech and Clinton’s earlier comments. “Just when Joe Biden was supposed to be uniting the country, he instead resorted to the same divisive tactics that Hillary Clinton used in 2016,” a Trump campaign spokesperson said. “These remarks reveal a deep-seated contempt for millions of Americans who support Trump and are disillusioned with the current administration’s policies.”

The Morons in Charge Finally Start Planning for the Threat They Deliberately Caused: A Joint Nuclear Attack by China and Russia

By New York Post. President Biden has signed off on a highly classified plan that shifts America’s nuclear strategy to focus on China as a nuclear threat — and prepare for the possibility that the communist nation could team up with North Korea and Russia against the US, according to a new report.

Biden made the shift in March because the Pentagon believes China’s nuclear arsenal will rival the US and Russia, the New York Times reported Tuesday.

The new strategy is called the “Nuclear Employment Guidance” and also readies the US for a possible coordinated threat between China, Russia and North Korea, the newspaper reported.

In a pair of recent speeches, two senior administration officials have hinted at the growing Chinese nuclear threat.

“The President recently issued updated nuclear weapons employment guidance to account for multiple nuclear-armed adversaries, and, in particular, the significant increase in the size and diversity of [China’s] nuclear arsenal,” said Vipin Narang this month when he was still the acting assistant secretary of defense of space policy.

Report: Biden Secretly Altered U.S. Nuclear Strategy

By Washington Times. President Biden has reportedly altered the U.S. strategic nuclear plans toward opposing China’s burgeoning nuclear arsenal and preparing for possible nuclear coordination between China, Russia and North Korea.

According to a report Tuesday evening in the New York Times, the highly classified “Nuclear Employment Guidance” was altered in March without any public announcement.

“The document, updated every four years or so, is so highly classified that there are no electronic copies, only a small number of hard copies distributed to a few national security officials and Pentagon commanders,” the Times reported.

Congress is expected to be notified of the changes in unclassified form before Mr. Biden’s term in the White House ends in January.

But, the Times reported, two separate top officials have received permission to refer to the changes in public speeches, albeit only in “carefully constrained, single sentences.” (Read more from “Report: Biden Secretly Altered U.S. Nuclear Strategy” HERE)

Ignoring Joe Biden’s Corruption Tells the World America is Corrupt

By The Federalist. With Joe Biden out as Democrats’ candidate for president, the House of Representatives’ report on the impeachment inquiry released this morning may give off a “What difference, at this point, does it make?” vibe.

After all, even if the House votes to impeach the president, the Senate won’t convict him and he’ll be out of office and politics forever in January 2024. The nearly 300-page report nonetheless matters for many reasons, the most important of which is to restore America’s standing in the world.

Over more than 150 pages, the House’s impeachment report establishes that Joe Biden conspired with his family members and their business partners to monetize his position as vice president. In exchange for access to then-Vice President Biden, foreign individuals and entities gave various Biden family members and their friends more than $27 million—some of those proceeds passed directly on to the Big Guy.

Those generalities fail to adequately capture the audacity of the conspiracy, or the harm to our country caused by Biden announcing through his conduct that the United States of America can be bought. Four specific payoffs crystallize both. . .

First, as the House report details, in early 2014, while Barack Obama’s vice president Biden attended a birthday party for Hunter Biden with Russian oligarch Yelena Baturina. Baturina is the wife of the former mayor of Moscow. The United States had accused him of heading a “pyramid of corruption” involving the Kremlin. Ten days later, Baturina transferred $3.5 million to Hunter Biden-connected businesses. (Read more from “Ignoring Joe Biden’s Corruption Tells the World America is Corrupt” HERE)

US House Republicans Release Impeachment Report on President Joe Biden

By Al Jazeera. Republicans in the United States House of Representatives have released a report alleging Democratic President Joe Biden committed impeachable offences, but it is unclear whether they would push for a vote following a probe that the White House has long dismissed as politically motivated.

A 291-page report by three House committees alleged that Biden profited from an influence-peddling scheme to enrich himself and members of his family through foreign business dealings beginning in 2014 when Biden was vice president.

Jim Jordan, head of the Judiciary Committee, said the investigation showed “conclusively” that Biden had “abused his public office for the private financial benefit of the Biden family and Biden business associates.”

“President Biden’s legacy is marked by abuse of public office, corruption and obstruction. The evidence produced by our impeachment inquiry is the strongest case for impeachment of a sitting president the House of Representatives has ever investigated,” said James Comer, head of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability.

But the nearly yearlong inquiry released by the Republicans on Monday, stops short of alleging any criminal wrongdoing by the president, who decided last month not to run for re-election this year. (Read more from “US House Republicans Release Impeachment Report on President Joe Biden” HERE)

The Lies Have It: Watch Joe Biden Open 2024 DNC With Massive Deception

Joe Biden on Monday night at this year’s Democrat party convention delivered what is expected to be his farewell to the 2024 presidential race, his party’s support and much, much more, including a political career that has spanned decades.

But like myriad earlier speeches, he couldn’t get by without telling a falsehood, or two. Or more.

He criticized “political violence,” but didn’t address the lawfare his party has launched, with multiple court cases against President Donald Trump, including one about possession of classified documents – an offense Biden also committed but for which he faced no charges. But Trump was charged with a long list of counts.

Then he trotted out his story, which is false, about the race violence that happened in Charlottesville, Virginia.

He said, “Extremists coming out of the woods carrying torches. Their veins bulging from their necks. Carrying nasty swastikas. Chanting … antisemitic bile … white supremacists, neo-Nazis.” (Read more from “The Lies Have It: Watch Joe Biden Open 2024 DNC With Massive Deception” HERE)

Democrats Shove Biden Out of DNC Primetime for Last Gasp of Presidency

President Joe Biden took the Democratic National Convention stage well past his scheduled primetime slot to cap off a night meant to honor his legacy.

The DNC ran considerably behind schedule, leading the president to be booted from his primetime speaking slot to appear close to midnight on the east coast. The first night of the convention was full of speakers who dedicated their speeches to Biden’s four years in office, his decision to pick Vice President Kamala Harris as his running mate and his choice to end his 2024 reelection bid. An emotional Biden himself made a nod to the theme throughout his speech, praising Harris as he was repeatedly interrupted by “thank you, Joe” chants.

“It’s been the honor of my lifetime to serve as your president. I love the job, but I love my country more. All this talk about how I’m angry at all the people who said I should step down — it’s not true. I love my country more, and we need to preserve our democracy in 2024. We need you to vote. We need you to keep the Senate and the House of Representatives. And above all, we need you to beat Donald Trump,” Biden said before wrapping his speech up after midnight. It lasted nearly an hour.

As the speakers leading up to Biden on the schedule began dragging on and on, speculation swirled about how and why the president had been shoved aside to speak when many Americans would already be asleep.

“This is awful. He literally set up a campaign and handed it over to them — do they have to cut him out of prime time?” one longtime Biden aide texted Axios reporter Alex Thompson. (Read more from “Democrats Shove Biden Out of DNC Primetime for Last Gasp of Presidency” HERE)
