Flipping herself off: Kamala tries to hide leftist lunacy by changing FOUR stances in a single day * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

Flipping herself off: Kamala tries to hide leftist lunacy by changing FOUR stances in a single day * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh: 

Kamala Harris, recently pushed into the Democrats' top ballot slot for this fall by the elites of the party who apparently pushed Joe Biden into the ditch because of his declining mental capabilities, is trying to clean up her record and her agendas to appeal to more voters. So she flipflopped on an issue. And then flipflopped on another. And flipflopped on a third. And a fourth. All in one day.

"Nation Building" fail!-Read all!-----What 10 Years of U.S. Meddling in Ukraine Have Wrought (Spoiler Alert: Not Democracy) | RealClearInvestigations

Far from protecting democracy from Kyiv to Washington, their role in Ukraine looks more like epic meddling resulting in political upheaval for both countries. - Aaron Maté,

• Over the last decade, Ukraine has been the battleground in a proxy war between the U.S. and Russia – a conflict massively escalated by the Kremlin’s invasion in 2022.
• The fight erupted in early 2014, when Biden and his team, then serving in the Obama administration, supported the overthrow of Ukraine’s elected president, Viktor Yanukovych...
• As well-connected Washington Beltway insiders such as Hunter Biden have exploited it for personal enrichment, Ukraine has become a source of foreign interference in the U.S. political system – with questions of unsavory dealings arising in the 2016 and 2020 elections as well as the first impeachment of Donald Trump...
• As the Biden administration successfully pressured Congress to approve its $61 billion funding request for Ukraine...the president and his senior aides have been handed the means to extend a proxy war that they launched a decade ago and that continues to ravage Ukraine...

Kamala Harris Made A Damning Planned Parenthood Video Disappear. Now, It’s Public. By Leif Le Mahieu

Never before seen footage showing a Planned Parenthood employee appearing to discuss the sale of aborted babies’ body parts was released Tuesday,
...years after now-Vice President Kamala Harris seized the footage as Attorney General of California.

• The five-minute video shows a conversation between a person identified as Dr. Stacy De-Lin, Planned Parenthood New York City Medical Director for Abortion Services, and an undercover reporter with the Center for Medical Progress (CMP). During their conversation, De-Lin seems to acknowledge that Planned Parenthood would sell the livers of aborted babies.
• In one clip, De-Lin is told by a CMP investigator that she “could pay you $1,000, up to $1,500 for a liver.”
• “Yeah, that’s great,” De-Lin responds. “I think a financial incentive from you guys like, to the people we have to get this approved from, will be very happy about it,” according to the video shared by CMP.
• Harris’ office confiscated footage in a 2016 raid on CMP President David Daleiden’s California home, two weeks after meeting with Planned Parenthood officials and after the organization had specifically requested the computers used for the undercover videos to be seized...
• In 2020, Planned Parenthood Action released an ad campaign calling Harris “OUR Reproductive Health Champion.” That year, Planned Parenthood Votes published an article entitled “Nine Reasons to Love Kamala Harris.”

'Bat* crazy': WATCH Kamala boast of rigging system so taxpayers pay for transgender 'treatment' * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

'Bat* crazy': WATCH Kamala boast of rigging system so taxpayers pay for transgender 'treatment' * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh: 

Now that Kamala Harris has been installed as the top of the Democratic Party's ballot this fall by leftist elites who pushed Joe Biden under the bus, so to speak, because of his declining mental abilities, some of her views are making the headlines. Including that she has worked hard to force taxpayers to pay for transgender "health care," apparently to include body-altering chemicals and surgical mutilations. It is in a video that she explains how she "worked behind the scenes" to make sure taxpayers were billed for such treatments for prison inmates in California, where she served as attorney general for a time.

AG Fought Man’s Release from Prison For Political Reasons

It's not only the fault those we elected, it's the lying Pravda-style media that lies to the world every day!----- They have lost the confidence of the voters. Now it's our turn to set things straight. It's our last chance - Ray DiLorenzo

• Who are these Democrats, these partners in crime with the mainstream media that reject truth and revel in lies, deceit, and vulgarity? 

They act shocked, shocked that Biden hid from them his mental state and his inability to carry out even a normal work day. 

He walks around in public in a sort of trance, trying to understand where he is and what he is supposed to do, and they act as if everything is normal...

Nothing in this administration is real.

• Where were the responsible public servants who refused to answer any questions or inquiries about Joe Biden's mental state?...

The Democrat Party knew of Biden. 

• They knew he didn't have the intellect to be president, think on his feet, or even have anything close to a reputation as a great senator...

Identities of illegal aliens who allegedly attempted to breach military base revealed months later | Blaze Media: 

Federal court records have finally revealed the names of two illegal immigrants who allegedly posed as Amazon delivery drivers and attempted to breach a military base in Virginia in early May. The Jordanian nationals drove a box truck up to the main gate at Quantico Marine Corps Base near Triangle, Virginia, Blaze News previously reported. After failing to provide guards with access credentials, the men were instructed to wait for further inspection.

Make self-defense illegal. Free the criminals. "Save" democracy??!!

 

This wasn't necessarily a Mossad operation, but rather a faction within the IRGC working on their own.

Clarice Feldman - @NiohBerg New theory: This wasn't necessarily... | Facebook
@NiohBerg - New theory:

• This wasn't necessarily a Mossad operation, but rather a faction within the IRGC working on their own.
• Whether they communicated with Israel or not, they would need highest level clearance to access Haniyeh, let alone smuggle a bomb. 
• These must be high ranking, and VERY trusted individuals. 
• Otherwise the operation could never work. 
• It's not likely that Mossad agents work at this level within the regime.
• A massive amount of Iranians hate the mullahs and Arab terrorist proxies - the IRGC isn't excluded here...

Migrants will cost Massachusetts taxpayers $1.8 billion over the next two years - James

This Is What The Final Stages Of A Bubble Economy Look Like Just Before A Collapse Happens

How does it feel to be living on the edge of a bubble just before it bursts?  -Michael Snyder

On Monday, our national debt reached 35 trillion dollars, and even the New York Times is admitting that it is growing “more quickly than many economists had predicted”…
To mark this milestone, the House Budget Committee released some numbers about how rapidly our debt has been growing over the last 12 months…

• $196 billion in new debt per month
• $6.4 billion in new debt per day
• $268 million in new debt per hour
• $4.5 million in new debt per minute
• $74,401 in new debt per second

The third number in that list really stands out to me.
268 million dollars is being stolen from future generations of Americans every single hour of every single day, and hardly anyone seems to care.
We are literally committing national suicide.

Why is the democrat party allowed to do this?

ANOTHER scandal Paris Olympics MOST dangerous sport outrage | Blaze Media: 

“These hard-working female athletes, these boxers ... are being told that in order to be nice, they need to sit down, get punched in the face, and give up their medal and their trophy and everything they've worked for because ‘oh they're abiding by the eligibility rules,”’ Sey condemns.

To make matters even more upsetting, Yu-ting and Khelif “don’t even seem to be pretending to be female.” Images from the Olympics show the two in the area looking every bit like males.

Trump audio calls story into question: two shooters? | Blaze Media

Trump audio calls story into question: two shooters? | Blaze Media: 

“I find out on CNN, of all places, that an audio expert concluded that there were two shooters,” Martenson says. “There were the sounds from the guns. One, two, and three were inconsistent with those from four, five, six, seven, eight.”

But the story then was memory-holed and forgotten.

“As soon as I see that silent space, I say, ‘Well, I got to dig into this.’ So, that’s what kicked me off,” he tells Gray.

Martenson then plays the audio from the shooting, where it sounds as if the shots are from completely different guns.

“Dramatically different,” Gray comments, stunned.

Acting Secret Service director admits no agent assigned to Trump's July 13 rally has yet been fired | Blaze Media: 

In anticipation of Rowe's testimony, RealClearPolitics issued a shocking report on Tuesday morning that claimed Rowe was "directly involved" in Secret Service decisions to deny the Trump campaign's repeated requests for "more magnetometers, additional agents, and other resources to help screen rallygoers." Such added security requests were denied over the course of two years, RCP claimed, citing "several sources familiar with the decision-making" at the Secret Service agency.
