That was pretty awful.

Article BretBaierFoxNewsInterview.By that, I mean the Fox interview with Kamala Harris and Bret Baier.

Despite what is being reported this morning, with some of her staff saying the Fox interview was an “Attack” I think it was pretty reasonable. After all if she can’t handle one reporter pressing for answers how is she going to handle a UN or NATO summit?

When he pressed her about a poll where 79% responded they thought America was on the wrong track and she started talking about Trump campaigning.

I thought, 1) “I wish they’d stop talking over each other,” and 2) “What the hell is she talking about?”

I was thinking along these lines;

No, Kamala, no, I don’t know what you’re talking about. Trump campaigning or not doesn’t change anything about what your administration has done and the mood of the American People. If Trump speaking can sway 79% of the people in a poll away from your policies, and administrations direction, then honestly I think the problem is with you & Biden.

That number is suggestive of you being remarkably out of touch with the American People and if you’ve missed the mark that substantially then Biden and by extension, you don’t, in my opinion, deserve the Presidency.

It was insulting that she’d try to use Trump as a boogy-man like that. Because if the Biden / Harris administration had been doing their job, and the American People were happy about the job they’d done over the past 4 years, Trump campaigning or not would have little effect on the Polls. Certainly not almost 80% of the people polled. I’d guess that the polling should be somewhere about 50/50 if everything was “normal”.

Put another way, only 20% of the country believes things are going well. In a simple Democracy that 20% would be ignored. Will of the majority & all right? Suddenly, the Electoral College doesn’t seem like such a bad idea does it? 

I was never able to determine what she was alluding to with her “Trump was campaigning” word salad neither was Baier and further, she didn’t explain herself.

I’d hate to see her in a really contentious negotiation against say Putin, or Xi, or a Muslim state like Iran where women are only supposed to cook, clean, bend over, and never speak. “What does a woman know?”

In those situations Harris or any Woman for that matter, better be clear & concise with her meaning. She’ll need to be direct and not attempt to wheedle her way into what she wants.

Yeah, maybe it means a woman will have to work harder as President. Those are the breaks, not every culture treats women with respect. If she can’t handle that, maybe she doesn’t have what it takes to be President.

Nonetheless, I’m really interested to see how the Democrats are going to install Kamala Harris in the Oval Office. They have to, you understand that right? If the Democrats lose, it may well be their end as a dominant party in what is essentially a two party system. 

Once could extrapolate from the polls that a pretty substantial percentage of the American People are turning their backs on a party that hasn’t delivered on promises even though that party has been in control of The Presidency for 12 of the past 16 years.

I’m tired of hearing Kamala talk about Trump. I’d like her to answer fundamental questions about HER. What are her policies, what are her plans when she becomes President, what are her opinions about world events and does she have any thoughts about solutions to world problems?

KS joy view op.Believe it or not, much as I dislike the Biden / Harris administration, if Kamala Harris presented me with a better choice than Trump, I’d hear her out.

I don’t care that she’s a woman, or her race, or any of that shit. Despite what that vile, rancid, shrew, Joy Behar says, not supporting Harris, isn’t about misogyny.

The fundamental question is one of merit. 

Does she merit a position in the Oval Office more than the other choice? Thus far the answer is a resounding “No”.

I’m still trying to listen…

CNN issues retraction after using digitally altered photos of Trump & Loomer

Cnn logo red png 3.It’s interesting that you can find articles all over the media, & X about it.

But looking for “CNN Retraction” will not present you with a link to CNN.COM wherein you could actually read what they said. Nor does “CNN Correction” present you with what CNN actually did or said.

Rather than continue to fuck around with CNN’s obfuscation I’ll simply read the hearsay from other journalists.

The short story: Anderson Cooper and other CNN anchors used fake photos on Friday and Saturday presenting them as real in some sort of negative report on Trump and Laura Loomer.

Absolutely nothing new there! I don’t really give a shit CNN has become a televised “National Enquirer”. Although, that might be an insult to National Enquirer.

My train of thought went in a completely different direction. 

Regardless of CNN’s correction, retraction, misspeaking, or whatever. The damage is done. There are a shit ton of people who will never see or hear that CNN was wrong, again, and they will run off believing whatever smear CNN painted Trump & Loomer with.

Even if Loomer sues, as she’s threatening to do, it won’t matter. CNN will lose some money, Loomer will get some money but her reputation will still be sullied.

Anderson Cooper and the other anchors will still get their 6 digit paychecks, and they’ll blame the CNN staff for the mistake. The Anchors and Production Managers will say, “We can’t check everything prior to going on air in this competitive market…”

I might even believe it… Except that it rarely happens, and when I say rarely, I mean 98.9999999999% of the time, when they’re talking about their favored Party, People, or Subjects. They don’t make mistakes, they check everything and are very quick to “Fact Check” anyone who speaks ill of their preferred narratives.

So with demonstrable bias, CNN and other news outlets blithely spew misinformation.

Wait! 

Haven’t people gone to jail for misinformation? Why yes… Douglass Mackey was sentenced to 7 months in prison for posting memes on Twitter encouraging Clinton supporters to vote via text message.

Hillary Clinton recently suggested that aside from indictments against Russians for direct election interference, that perhaps civil or criminal charges should be levied against Americans for parroting “Russian propaganda”. 

Oh, like the Hunter Biden Laptop? That Russian Propaganda? Where we had the news media and 51 Intelligence officers tell us the laptop was fake, just before the last election. We’ve since learned that had that information been widely presented instead of suppressed people might have voted for Trump instead of Biden.

Under Hillary’s suggestion, should we be charging and / or imprisoning members of the media or those 51 intelligence officers. One could argue they engaged in election interference and that the Russians had profited from the wide spread misinformation in the form of tipping the election toward Biden.

Hillary Clinton really hates Russians doesn’t she? She’s been going on about Russians one way or another, for almost a decade now…

CNN and other new outlets might be forgiven for their spewing of misinformation during COVID with regard to efficacy of vaccines, alternative treatments, etc. Generally speaking, they were acting in good faith based on the available information, much of it from government sources.

But, and this is just my opinion, they didn’t have to go the extra mile to ridicule and discredit scientists and doctors who expressed dissenting opinions.

These news outlets, to this day have never apologized for the damage they did to scientists and doctors who not only dissented, but as time moves on, appear to have been correct. The government apologizing to these same individuals for their part in harming the scientists careers,  would herald the apocalypse.

All of which begs the question. Can CNN and the legacy media be trusted anymore? If not, then where are we to get our information? It’s a foregone conclusion that our government cannot be trusted.

If I were conspiracy minded, I’d say this was part of an overarching plan to destroy all non government news organizations and once they’re throughly discredited they’ll be replaced with some form of State News Agency. 

American News Network – ANN – News from your government who is Father and Mother, protecting us all from threats internal & external.

That would certainly make control of the, what’s the word, proletariat, easier wouldn’t it?

Oddly, I seem to recall Kamala Harris speaking in favor of some kind of misinformation laws applied nationally.

However entering a search in google or duck duck go. Returns everything about misinformation as it’s been applied to Harris but not her actual stance on the matter.

“is kamala harris in favor of misinformation laws?” Or “has kamala harris proposed misinformation laws?” Presents ZERO information pertaining to the question.

As I’ve mentioned before, our search engine technology is becoming more useless every day. Why can’t the search engines present the most direct answer to the query then present other related materials.

They used to do this with ease. Now, it seems that even our search engines are purposely obfuscating information.

The problem might be that Harris routinely changes her mind and that might be confusing the search engines. Much as her stance on gun control and virtually every other thing she says is subject to change based on the direction the wind is blowing.

The point I was trying to make is, if Harris is in favor of misinformation laws nationally that are similar to those signed into law by Gavin Newsom, then it’s possible something like the ANN as I described above is closer than we think.

AOC, Ilhan Omar, Bernie Sanders, Dan Goldman, Nancy Pelosi, and many other Democrats in Congress have on occasion expressed approval of, or desire for, abridgments of freedom of speech. With presidential backing misinformation laws and in fact an office of misinformation such as was proposed early in the Biden administration could easily become reality.

The justification used to “Sell” abridgment of The First Amendment to the American People could even be pointing to the permanent harm misinformation does to someone like Laura Loomer, Donald Trump, Doctors, and Scientists. 

That would be the ultimate slap in the face wouldn’t it?

The people harmed by institutionalized, approved misinformation who spoke out in defense of Freedom of Speech and demanded responsibility of the news media, having the harm done to them, used to curtail The First Amendment.

LA Mayor Bass declares the 2028 Olympic Games to be “Car Free”

Karen bass olympics 640x480.The good Mayor has directed all Chop-Shops in South Central LA to increase their parking lot size and to hire more entry level workers proficient with a cutting torch.

The Mayor will also ask that citizens and visitors to Los Angeles leave their valuables in their vehicles and the vehicles unlocked thereby providing greater safety to car thieves in compliance with Cal/OSHA criminal protection codes.

Cal/OSHA reminds us all that criminals are the victims if they hurt themselves during the commission of a crime. The state doesn’t want criminals cutting themselves on broken glass or getting repetitive stress injuries wielding a hammer or other object to break into cars.

During the Olympics, continuous parking will be available in designated parking lots, dependent on vehicle disassembly & part removal speed capabilities of various chop shops in the area.

Police will direct Olympic attendees to shops that can most quickly destroy their cars and steal their possessions. This innovative plan efficiently addresses the lack of adequate parking in Los Angeles.

Persons wearing expensive watches and jewelry will be beaten and robbed in express lines at Metrolink stations, This service will be provided by local contractors, and modeled after TSA checkpoints at LAX.

These local contractors expect to be more at least 15% more efficient than LAX TSA officers. T’awaná, a local contractor representative says the increased efficiency is because, “we be consentratin on wallets, iphone, watches, jewery n shiit.“

Olympic officials will be instructed to time events using convenient sundials placed around event venues.

Rolex, Omega, Piaget and any other high end timepieces, are very welcome. For your comfort and convenience, items will be courteously confiscated at gunpoint at random locations anywhere in the Los Angeles basin.

Mayor Bass and certain city officials expect to make millions in aftermarket sales.

Additional money making schemes for the Mayor and city officials will be announced in the run-up to the 2028 Olympics.

The above is what went through my head seeing that Mayor Bass was proudly declaring the 2028 Olympic Games car free. The reality of the situation is that it’s a good idea. Utilizing Public transit to combat traffic congestion is a great plan. 

The down side is that public transit in Los Angeles isn’t all that safe or good at the moment. So Mayor Bass’s declaration begs the question, “Is this part of a larger plan to get a handle on the crime in Los Angeles?”

Years ago I used to enjoy my morning ride on the Green Line from Downey to El Segundo. I don’t think my experience would be as pleasant these days.

You know, you just can’t win.

MayaWiley 1200x1200.Yesterday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” civil rights attorney Maya Wiley said there was a direct line from some folks referring to Kamala Harris as a DEI hire to Project 2025.

I have to point out that Biden said I’m going to choose a black female for my Vice President.

He didn’t say, I’m going to choose the best person to be my Vice President. He made it about race and gender right from the start. In my book that’s pretty much the definition of a DEI hire.

Project 2025 (I have not read it entirely) appears to be a plan for the next president, (granted it’s skewed conservative and more likely than not, toward Trump and his base,) however it’s a plan for any President to use in their first 180 days in office.

The plan was put together by conservatives in an attempt to help chart a course correction for the country. Any President is welcome to use it. Just because the plan was written by conservatives doesn’t mean that it’s been delivered from the 7th circle of hell direct from Satans hand.

Notice I said a plan. Not a manifesto, not tablets from a mountain, not etched in stone, not the edicts of an emperor enforced under penalty of death. It’s a plan. Plans change, adapt, and are abandoned often once the plan meets reality. (Joe Biden’s 2nd term & Reelection campaign ring a bell?)

Ms Wiley claims that Project 2025 is going to dismantle all the civil rights laws.

I find that claim to be dubious. Although someone like her would say the same thing about my belief that special protection laws should be stricken from the books.

I believe if we lived under the premise that all Citizens are created equal, then by extension all laws apply equally to all Citizens, negating any necessity for special protections.

The law gets a whole lot simpler to obey and enforce if it’s consistent and has none or very few exceptions.

A thief is a thief subject to a penalty for theft regardless of skin color, gender, religion, or sexual orientation. For example: If you steal, and are caught you get 4 years in prison for each $1000 in value.

Simple, enforceable, and easily understood.

When I talk about exceptions I mean to penalties. I believe a Judge should have the ability to sentence a 14 year old first time offender to community service rather than prison or other  incarceration.

In other words I believe there should be the possibility for humanity and mercy not a totally mechanistic justice system. Which is why I believe Judges must be wise, know the law, and incorruptible. At the same time, laws should be few in number and easy to understand.

I digress.

I don’t know what Ms Wiley is talking about, as I said, I haven’t gotten that far into the document.

It’s available, you can download it. The writers of Project 2025 aren’t trying to hide it or be sneaky.

What I find interesting is this.

If there wasn’t a plan of some kind the left would be beating the right over the head about not having a plan. 

Because there is a plan, the left is pulling out all the stops to label the plan as something evil and some of the left is equating Project 2025 to Mein Kampf.

Thus far I haven’t seen evidence to corroborate this equivalence but I’ll keep looking.

Here is a link to The Heritage Foundation, authors of Project 2025

Here is a link to the Project 2025 document entitled Mandate for Leadership The Conservative Promise

Read it for yourself.

Here are links to Democracy Forward’s rebuttal to Project 2025’s Mandate for Leadership

Democracy Forward’s document is called The People’s Guide to Project 2025

Read that for yourself too.

Don’t believe the hyperbole from the talking heads… Or ME! I’m not the brightest bulb in the pack either. 

I beg you to read & research for yourself. Because these days it’s getting really hard to figure out what is true and who is telling the truth.

I swear CNN seems to search for idiot commentators.

The idiotic statements that come out of these peoples mouths never ceases to amaze me.

CNN political commentator Ashley Allison said Tuesday on CNN’s “Situation Room” that it is offensive to her as a black woman when Vice President Kamala Harris is called incompetent.

CEO and Commentator Ashley Allison.

How the hell do you get to the race card with a statement of objective fact?

I’ve linked the rest of the article as it appeared in Breitbart Here

Ms Allison makes her case after an exchange with Matt Mowers formerly of the Trump Administration, wherein he described Kamala Harris’s record of failure. All of which fits the definition of the word “Incompetence”. Apparently Ms Allison nor anyone else on the panel, aside from Mr. Mowers, has ever opened a dictionary.

Allison said, “She’s not incompetent, okay. Like, you don’t become the attorney general of California or senator or the vice president of United States. By calling her incompetent you’re calling the 81 million people who voted for her incompetent as well.”

All one need do is look a Kamala’s history to dismantle Ms. Allisons defense. Kamala Harris had the path cleared for her to become attorney general of California by Willie Brown. Her ascension to Senate was similarly arranged. What should offend Ms. Allison is Kamala’s record as attorney general and the various miscarriages of justice and scandals during her tenure. 

I believe it was Tulsi Gabbard who in a 2019 debate enumerated Kamala Harris’s incompetence as California Attorney General. Effectively ending Harris’s presidential campaign.

CNN Talking heads just can’t seem to do any research at all, unless it’s about Trump or someone loosely affiliated with Trumps 9th cousin thrice removed on his mother’s side.

One line of her reasoning stood out to me, “By calling her incompetent you’re calling the 81 million people who voted for her incompetent as well.”

Okay, by that logic, the left and media calling Trump a NAZI, a Rapist, a white supremacist, an insurrectionist, etc., has been calling ~80 million voters who voted for Trump all of those things as well.

And people like Ms Allison wonder why there is so much hate and division in this country. Really? Look to your own double standards lady!

As a White Man, It’s offensive when media “personalities” call and /or imply Trump, Vance, Comer, Jordan, or Rand Paul are hateful Neo-Nazi bigots without evidence because these talking heads don’t like their politics or decisions.

But we all know, if I say something like that, it’s dismissed because I’m a White Man and my concerns or opinions don’t matter nearly as much as yours do. Racism and your race card have become so fucking irrelevant at this point you might want to back off that rhetoric. 

I daresay white people are sick of hearing it, and have started to reexamine the guilt you trigger screaming racist every freaking minute.

I have no guilt. People like you will not shame me any more. I refuse to allow you to manipulate me. I will proudly cast my vote for the most qualified person regardless of their gender or skin color.

As an aside, I have no more patience or pity for any group who defines themselves first by their race, gender or sexuality.

Be Americans, stand with other Americans, or get to the fucking back of the bus! Yeah, I meant that to be offensive. I’d love to be able to ask Rosa Parks what her thoughts on screaming “racist” every five minutes is doing to end racism. Somehow I bet you wouldn’t like what she said.

Ms Allison, you and your ilk should understand this, with your constant haranguing, and rhetoric, you are creating the very Nationalists you’re scared of.

Maybe you should start doing journalism and reporting facts instead of emotions.

I had to say it. I know nothing in the media is going to change, except to get worse.

As my Father used to say, “Son you’re pissing into the wind.”
