NOTHING TO SEE HERE, MOVE ALONG: Potential Harris VP Pick Josh Shapiro Accused by Democrat of Covering Up Sexual Harassment in His Office. https://pjmedia.com/rick-moran/2024/07/28/potential-harris-vp-choice-shapiro-accused-by-a-democrat-of-covering-up-sexual-harrassment-in-his-office-n4931140

The lamest lame duck executive seeks to meddle with the judicial branch. Having faltered and fallen in his own lane, Joe Biden seems to think his view of the Supreme Court might matter. I'm seeing "Opinion/Joe Biden: My plan to reform the Supreme Court and ensure no president is above the law/We can and must prevent the abuse of presidential power and restore the public’s faith in our judicial system" (WaPo). https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/07/29/joe-biden-reform-supreme-court-presidential-immunity-plan-announcement/?

"You might recall the epic 2008 Beijing opening ceremony, which showcased the four great Chinese inventions: the compass, gunpowder, paper, and typesetting." "This one in Paris, put up last Friday, celebrated analogous French contributions like threesomes, the Minions franchise, and dressing like a clown...." Begins Suzy Weiss, in "Was the Opening Ceremony Demonic, or Just Cringe? Don’t feel bad for Christians—feel bad for the French" https://www.thefp.com/p/was-the-opening-ceremony-demonic Very well put.

About That Kamala Harris Ad Issues & Insights, by The Editorial Board Kamala Harris’ first presidential campaign ad focuses on “freedom.” This might be the most absurd political claim in our lifetimes. The Democratic Party is not interested in liberty. It is concerned with nothing more than expanding its power. When Harris says in her ad “We choose freedom,” what liberties is she referring to? She never says. Because she can’t. She mentions a few examples – the freedom to “get ahead” and to “be safe from gun violence” – and both are meaningless. The first “freedoms” is part of our American DNA. What has kept people from getting ahead is a federal, state, and local government framework, whose foundation was laid by Democrat Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal, then reinforced in the mid-1960s by Democrat Lyndon Johnson’s war on poverty. It is a leviathan that intrudes remorselessly into private matters and over-regulates what should be the free flow of commerce. Can Harris or any of her defenders point to a single example in which she has fought for deregulation to help Americans “get ahead”? For authentic economic liberty? For individualism? For freedom from government? The second is simply nonsensical in terms of liberty. True freedom is independence, unrestricted choice to live our lives as we wish without violating the freedom of others, the absence of government interference. And how can this freedom from gun violence be provided for anyway? This is especially curious coming from someone who has supported defunding the police. So maybe she’s talking about shredding the Second Amendment? Well of course she is. https://issuesinsights.com/2024/07/29/about-that-kamala-harris-ad/

Kamala Harris must still hold Biden’s border, inflation baggage — even as Dems’ myth-making machine fires on all cylinders by Miranda Divine Kamala Harris is enjoying a honeymoon of sorts — the media handmaidens are giddy with excitement over her TikTok coconut memes. She is girl power personified, the female Obama, a strutting, dancing, exuberant Wonder Woman gushing on the phone with her besties Michelle and Barack. The belated endorsement by the Obamas caught on camera and pumped out on social media in a cringe-inducing campaign video last week was typical of her terminal inauthenticity and social ineptitude. The two Obamas haughtily uttered 55 words between them and were on the phone for a total of 20 seconds, but Kamala cooed and gushed so effusively you would think she had just won an Oscar. https://nypost.com/2024/07/28/opinion/kamala-harris-must-still-hold-bidens-border-inflation-baggage-even-as-dems-myth-making-machine-fires-on-all-cylinders/

Cuba’s population in freefall as Biden-Harris open border sparks mass exodus by Mike Gonzalez This rueful joke has made its way around Cuba for decades: A foreign tourist, soaking up what he thinks are the advances of the communist revolution, stops a kid in the street for a chat. “What do you want to be when you grow up?” the visitor asks. “A foreigner,” answers the young Cuban. Morbid humor has long been the staple of communist regimes, from Czechoslovakia to the Soviet Union, from China to the once-prosperous Caribbean island of Cuba. People who have lived through communism, with its alternating bouts of horrors and tedium, say it is one way to deal with such surreal surroundings. https://nypost.com/2024/07/28/opinion/biden-harris-open-border-sparks-mass-exodus-from-cuba/ .

Venezuelan Dictator Nicolas Maduro was declared the "winner" of the presidential election by the nation's election council on Monday morning. That came after exit polls showed him losing by as much as 30 points. Reports of Maduro's armed thugs closing down polling sites and stealing ballot boxes were prevalent throughout the process, all but confirming that the election was indeed stolen. What happens next is clear. Maduro will strengthen his grip on power instead of stepping down peacefully. As the saying goes, you can vote your way into socialism, but you have to shoot your way out. While this outcome was apparent to anyone with any common sense, Kamala Harris and Joe Biden had different ideas. While the press will no doubt bury the story, the current administration was at the center of this fraudulent election, having handed Maduro sanctions relief in exchange for "free and fair elections." https://redstate.com/bonchie/2024/07/29/venezuelas-election-was-just-stolen-and-biden-harris-were-at-the-center-of-it-n2177490 .

Translated: MADURO DICTATOR, OUT!!! Venezuelans chose to end the communist dictatorship of Nicolás Maduro. The data announce a crushing victory for the opposition and the world is waiting for it to recognize defeat after years of socialism, misery, decadence and death. Argentina is not going to recognize another fraud, and hopes that the Armed Forces this time will defend democracy and the popular will. Freedom Advances in Latin America.

There still is.

The cut off text: Argentina president Javier Milei announced that Argentina would not be recognizing Maduro's "win. "Venezuelans chose to end the communist dictatorship of Nicolás Maduro. The data announce a crushing victory for the opposition and the world is waiting for it to recognize defeat after years of socialism, misery, decadence and de*th," he said. "Argentina is not going to recognize another fraud, and hopes that the Armed Forces this time will defend democracy and the popular will." The Maduro "win" comes after armed gangs were seen stealing boxes with ballots throughout the country.

Back to the thread.

BACK TO VENEZUELA !

Funny. If you look at the primaries ballot, it just says Biden. Now you can argue that they knew Harris would remain the running mate, but did they ? There was lots of talk in the spring among democrats. Joe got the votes, Kamala rode along. The more she keeps making appearances, the more her party will regret it. .

RICK MORAN: The Paris Olympics Set a Marketing Trap for Us and We Fell Right Into It. “Wasn’t it a risky move?” one of my friends asked. “Offending a billion people is not the best way to win friends and influence people, or attract viewers, right?” It wasn’t risky at all. In fact, it was a guaranteed win for marketing the games. Christians may be offended, but what are they going to do? It’s not like they were offending Muslims, in which case the organizers would soon be competing in the headless horseman competition. Offending Hindus would lead to all sorts of riots and burnings, and that wouldn’t be good for the TV ratings. So Christians presented themselves as the most eligible target for controversy. And the rest of us fell into the trap set by the organizers. https://pjmedia.com/rick-moran/2024/07/28/the-paris-olympics-set-a-publicity-trap-for-us-and-we-fell-right-into-it-n4931132 .
