How the Trump campaign MUST fight Kamala Harris | Blaze Media

How the Trump campaign MUST fight Kamala Harris | Blaze Media: 

“Let’s stay above board. Let’s call it what it is. She is a radical communist-leaning tyrant who is bloodthirsty and the most pro-abortion politician that we’ve got. She has been in charge of the border for the last four years, and every single murder by an illegal alien happened on her watch,” she continues.

Rather than calling Harris a “ho” and pointing out her past relationships with men like Willie Brown, Stuckey believes we must attack her on policy.

Why Global Warming Would be Good for You

GLOBAL WARMING: A Boon to Humans and Other Animals Thomas Gale Moore

Climate extremes would trigger meteorological chaos -- raging hurricanes such as we have never seen, capable of killing millions of people; uncommonly long, record-breaking heat waves; and profound drought that could drive Africa and the entire Indian subcontinent over the edge into mass starvation. ... Even if we could stop all greenhouse gas emissions today, we would still be committed to a temperature increase worldwide of two to four degrees Fahrenheit by the middle of the twenty-first century. It would be warmer then than it has been for the past two million years. Unchecked it would match nuclear war in its potential for devastation.[1] -  Senate Majority Leader (D) George J. Mitchell - 1991

Senator Mitchell's forecast and his history are both wrong. 

• Warmer periods bring benign rather than more violent weather. 
• Milder temperatures will induce more evaporation from oceans and thus more rainfall -- where it will fall we cannot be sure but the earth as a whole should receive greater precipitation. 
• Meteorologists now believe that any rise in sea levels over the next century will be at most a foot or more, not twenty.[2] 
• In addition, Mitchell flunks history: around 6,000 years ago the earth sustained temperatures that were probably more than four degrees Fahrenheit hotter than those of the twentieth century, yet mankind flourished...

What Makes an Olympic Athlete Change Their Citizenship? - InsideHook

It's not a new phenomenon - TOBIAS CARROLL 

Why are two of the best divers in Mexico competing for a nation that is definitely not Mexico during this year’s Summer Olympics?...

“Any competitor in the Olympic Games must be a national of the country of the NOC which is entering such competitor,” the International Olympic Committee declares (and goes on to clarify that dual nationals can only compete for one nation)...

• In a new article for El País, Daniel Morales Olea explained why Garza and Ruvalcaba have opted to seek Dominican citizenship in order to follow their Olympic dreams...
• It’s not just elite divers and swimmers, either: El País details a number of other elite Mexican athletes who opted to represent other nations in Olympic competitions during the last decade or so...
• In 2022, the Associated Press cited the example of bobsledder Kaillie Humphries, who has represented both Canada and the United States at the Olympic level...

Kamala Harris and Joe Biden 'have actively tried to bring down' America * WorldNetDaily * by Adam Schwarze, Real Clear Wire

Kamala Harris and Joe Biden 'have actively tried to bring down' America * WorldNetDaily * by Adam Schwarze, Real Clear Wire: 

The absence of a clear plan or redundancy for such scenarios is troubling. In times of emergency, there must be a seamless transition of authority and decision-making capabilities. The current state of affairs suggests that there is no adequate backup and contingency plan. This lack of foresight and preparation is not just a managerial oversight but a national security risk.as a nation, we cannot afford to have our highest office and critical government positions operating under such constraints. The world is watching, and our adversaries are keenly aware of any weaknesses. We need an administration that understands the importance of redundancy and has plans to ensure the continuity of leadership and operations.

EXPLAINING TRUMP’S WOULD-BE KILLER

A much more fruitful approach would be to consider the psychological profile of Crooks: it matches to a tee the characteristics of other mass shooters. - Bill Donohue

Also worthy of probing is the culture that gives rise to these shootings...

• Crooks was a loner. 
• He was quiet and had few friends; 
• he was known to just stare at his classmates when they sought to engage him. 
• A student who went to the same high school as Crooks, Kendall Spragg, noted that he would sometimes eat lunch by himself. “He really didn’t fit in with everybody else,” he said. 

These attributes are commonplace among mass shooters.

• In 2023, Audrey Hale, a girl who mistakenly thought she was a boy, killed six people at Covenant School. Averianna Patton, who knew her, said she was “very quiet, very shy.”..
• In 2022, Salvador Ramos... (many more listed!)

Being a loner does not cause someone to be a mass shooter, but when it is coupled with other factors, it manifests itself as a leading red flag indicator.
Loners crave the same type of bonds that all of us do. 

When they are unable to achieve them, it creates psychological havoc.

Unfortunately, we are mass producing the kind of social soil that makes it harder to bond with others...

Good Luck Denying This One, Kamala; VP Argues Person Committing Crime 'Is Not a Criminal'

Good Luck Denying This One, Kamala; VP Argues Person Committing Crime 'Is Not a Criminal': 

While there’s another story here concerning Islamic terrorism and her remarks, it’s what she says after on the topic of illegal immigration that should have raised eyebrows in 2016 but makes perfect sense now in 2024 if we consider her abysmal failure to address the southern border.

Blame the American "education" establishment!

 

Does “accepting” gays mean we have to pay them to mock our religion? - the Aspen beat Glenn K. Beaton

Twenty-six years ago, the media reported that a young man named Matthew Shepard was beaten and strung up on a Wyoming barbed wire fence to die.

• The beating and murder were because Shepard was gay.
• The perps were quickly found, tried for murder, convicted, and sentenced to prison...
• It was a good news story about bad news and was widely reported.
• But it wasn’t true.
• It has since been shown that Shepard and one of the perps were in the drug business together. 
• Shepard was due to receive a $10,000 shipment of meth. 
• The perp himself was gay and had been in a gay relationship with Shepard.

So, it wasn’t a hate crime by a straight Wyoming redneck against an innocent 21-year-old gay guy. 

It was a drug deal gone bad between two gay lovers.
But never mind that. 

Gay advocates seized on Shepard’s death as evidence of hatred in the heartland toward gays. 

His death spurred new federal hate crime laws, where criminally attacking someone becomes even more criminal if the someone is gay...
The flip side of that, of course, is that criminally attacking someone is now a little less criminal if the person is not gay...

When you have the media...

 

The "brown-shirts" of the democrat party!-----'Palestine': Just The Latest Pretext for Bringing Down Western Civilization :: Gatestone Institute

The university encampments, it turns out, were planned as early as November 2023, belying any claims that the student protests occurred organically and spontaneously - Robert Williams

• The mainstream media, the authors say, is complicit because it fails to vet the activists and financiers behind the pro-Hamas ecosystem, preferring instead to portray the protests as if they are spontaneous occurrences.
• "The protesters are being generously funded and expertly coached by the same anti-U.S., anti-capitalist, anti-West puppet-masters who sprang Black Lives Matter on us a decade ago... 
• At the May 2024 "People's Conference for Palestine" in Detroit, featuring US Rep. Rashida Tlaib, among many others, the People's Forum's executive director Manolo De Los Santos, to great applause, called for the complete destruction of the United States.
• The People's Forum, it seems, is closely affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party...

In the past year, the Black Lives Matter agenda seems to have been replaced with an agenda that is "pro" the terrorist group Hamas as the newest, most efficient way to seek the destruction of the USA and by extension, the West.

#1 This day 1968-----The Doors - Hello, I Love You

Got this in email today.-----News media: STOP racism and sexism in your Kamala Harris election reporting NOW! | MoveOn

Sign the petition to tell news media: STOP racism and sexism in your Kamala Harris election reporting NOW! 
Dear MoveOn member,
In the time since it was announced that President Biden was stepping down from the presidential campaign and Vice President Kamala Harris emerged as the new prospective Democratic nominee, irresponsible journalism touting racist and sexist dog whistles has already been published. 

• Media outlets like Fox News have a history of racist and sexist attacks against Vice President Harris.1,2 We don't have to repeat the tired tropes and offensive attacks being wielded against Harris. We've heard them all before. 
• When Harris was selected as vice president on Biden's presidential ticket, 61% of news coverage mentioned her race or gender, and 25% of the coverage included sexist or racist stereotyping.3,4 It's unacceptable. 

We can't let history keep repeating itself. 

It's time to rein in the media and demand fair and unbiased reporting, because we know that as Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans lose their grip on power, the attacks against Kamala Harris are only going to get worse...

I've noticed this too!

 

U.S. city's ban on home Bible studies reaches climax * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

U.S. city's ban on home Bible studies reaches climax * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh: 

A California city that had banned home Bible studies, and threatened one resident with zoning violation prosecutions, has decided to back down. Officials there also say they are reworking their present city ban on renting any public facility for "any" religious event. The news about the developments in the City of Manhattan Beach, California, comes from the American Center for Law and Justice, which has worked on the situation there.

Where democrats rule-----1 in 3 Chicago violent crimes is a robbery, up 21% in a year

Just looking at the month of June showed just how bad the arrest rate is. There were 714 robberies, spread across the city, but only 16 arrests.

• Residents reported 29,522 violent crimes through June. But as cases of violent crime hit their highest level in the past five years, the arrest rate for these felonies declined to 10.8%, the lowest level in the past five years.
• Robberies increased 21.4% – the most of any violent crime in Chicago during the past 12 months. Coordinated robbery sprees in some of the city’s traditionally safest neighborhood helped drive that number.
• Just looking at the month of June showed just how bad the arrest rate is. There were 714 robberies, spread across the city, but only 16 arrests.
• During the previous 12 months, Hispanic Chicagoans were 2.5 times more likely to be victims of a robbery compared to white Chicagoans. 
• Black Chicagoans were twice as likely to be targeted...

WATCH: Ron DeSantis: 'They have to whitewash' Kamala's background 'to make her palpable' * WorldNetDaily * by Joe Kovacs: 

"So the media really worked hard to push Biden out. And now what you see is all the arteries to of the left, the corporate media, Hollywood, academia, they're using all the king's horses and all the king's men to try to put the Democratic Party back together again, and they have to whitewash Harris' background be able to to make her palpable to the American people. But I think we've all seen her. She's incredibly vapid, even more incredibly liberal, and she doesn't have any accomplishments. "In fact, she owns all the policies of the Biden-Harris administration. She owns the border, she owns the inflation. She was there cheerleading that every day for the last three and a half years. So I don't think it's going to work, but make no mistake about it, concern about it, you are in for a hundred days of massive gaslighting from the corporate press.

Watch this absolute barnburner of a speech on Hamas, terrorism, and how the West views those terrorists and the Jews. - Amy Curtis

• He pulls no punches in destroying Hamas and the Western Leftists who defend and support them, while making an impassioned defense of Israel, the Jews, and those who speak out against such barbaric terrorism.

He also mentions the Druze, and this video was recorded before Hezbollah fired rockets into a Druze community in northern Israel.

What the Microsoft Outage Reveals - The Atlantic

We discover the fragility of our technological infrastructure only when it’s too late. By Samuel

"...Why are we so bad at preventing these? 

Fundamentally, because our technological systems are too complicated for anyone to fully understand...

• So how can we make our systems fail less often?

We need to get to know them better. 

The best way to do this, ironically, is to break them...
Engineers can induce only so many errors. 

When something happens that they didn’t anticipate, the network breaks down. 

• So how can we expand the range of failures that systems are exposed to? 

As someone who studies complex systems, I have a few approaches...

First, they disappeared Biden; now they are disappearing his record | Blaze Media

First, they disappeared Biden; now they are disappearing his record | Blaze Media: 

Kamala Harris and the Democrats need their media friends to magically make everyone forget the record, but the reality is that she owns it.

The magicians in the Democratic Party sure know a lot of tricks. First, they were able to create the illusion that Joe Biden hasn’t been in cognitive decline for years, even “fooling” the corporate press (if you believe their claims). Then — abracadabra! — they were able to magically replace Biden with Vice President Kamala Harris as the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate without her receiving a single presidential primary vote.

As a big part of Biden’s administration, Harris owns his record. But don’t worry! With the help of their friends in the corporate left-wing media, the Democratic magicians are trying to make that disappear, too.
