B-Man

Of all the attacks Kamala Harris's team could have launched against Donald Trump's VP pick, J.D. Vance, calling him "weird," was probably the worst choice. If Vance has a quirk, it's his millennial bluntness, but anyone who has any experience hanging out with millennials — particularly millennials on the right — it's a pretty common trait that I would argue is a necessary counter to the multi-generational penchant for political correctness on the left. I'm struggling to see anything weird about Vance, and I'm not just saying that because I plan to vote for Trump, but I have no doubt that leftists absolutely do find him weird, and I can confidently say that this actually reveals more about the left's mentality than it does the right's. According to The Hill, Vance's "weirdness" comes from his purported views about women . The Hill gets quotes from other Democrats using the word over and over again. It's your typical Democrat tactic of "repeat a word until it becomes synonymous with the subject" tactic. I have a tip for the left. If you're dressed up in an elaborate costume, flailing your arms around in some form of interpretive dance while decrying capitalism and describing yourself as "non-binary," and you're doing this in a room filled with people who are dressed normally, converse normally, and have no confusion about who they are or what their identity is...then you're the weird one. Democrats have spent the last few years dragging America further and further down a path it clearly didn't want to go out of some misguided delusion that radicalism should be the new normal, but if you have to subversively introduce your ideas through pre-established avenues or even force them into businesses and schools through politically based programs because they aren't catching on by themselves, then perhaps the ideas you're pushing are just too weird to begin with. Vance's ideas aren't weird. Many of them are adopted naturally. Moreover, if you're having to rely on the media to carry your water and force a lie on the people repeatedly in order to get them to believe it, then maybe your ideas aren't very good. In fact, they're probably too weird for people, and maybe this artificial normalization you're attempting is just as weird seeing as how it's right out of "1984," which warned of a weird future where the government had to force its weirdness through everyone via brainwashing. https://redstate.com/brandon_morse/2024/07/30/weird-the-harris-campaigns-line-of-attack-against-jd-vance-isnt-going-well-n2177535 .

More Blacks Resisting the Narrative: National Assoc. of Black Journalists Hosts Conversation With Trump Jennifer Oliver O'Connell As I covered extensively on Saturday, the dam is breaking in terms of Blacks and their presumed lockstep support of the Democrat Party. This is particularly prescient among Black men, who have become quite vocal about no longer supporting the party and its aims, which are counter to their concerns and issues. Fox Digital interviewed attendees at a July 27 Grand Rapids, MI, Trump Rally, and they sounded off about what the Democrat Party gets wrong about them. Something else is causing a stir among the Black intelligentsia. Some are highly upset that the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) plans to have a conversation with former President and GOP nominee Donald Trump at their annual Convention & Career Fair in Chicago. https://redstate.com/jenniferoo/2024/07/30/more-blacks-resisting-the-narrative-national-assoc-of-black-journalists-hosts-conversation-with-trump-n2177533

How Barack Obama Ended Normalcy in American Politics. LEE SMITH Obama got her the vice presidential nod even when she was forced to drop out of the primary race after hitting just 3 percent in the polls. Jill Biden objected—Harris had called her husband a racist! The First Lady’s reported recent tantrums show that even after four years, she never fully grasped the arrangement the party had made with her husband. Biden was just an imperfect placeholder for Obama, and it was only a matter of time before the superior avatar would be slotted in. Mainstreaming the psychological modalities and media techniques of the Manson family is not normal in America. But then again, as Obama’s biographer David Garrow explained, ‘He’s not normal.’ The question is when, exactly, did it become clear to Obama that it was time for Harris to finally replace Biden? Was it after Biden’s disastrous debate with Donald Trump? After the attempted assassination of Trump? No, it seems the countdown officially began Oct. 7.

EITHER THEY’RE AFRAID THEY’LL GO DOWN LOSING WITH HER OR THEY’RE AFRAID THEY’D HAVE TO WORK WITH HER FOR FOUR YEARS Kamala's Running Mate Selection Process Takes a Humiliating Turn Matt Margolis Kamala Harris's search for a running mate has hit yet another snag. Previously, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-Mich.) took herself out of consideration, and two others have followed suit since dirt dug up on them made them a lot less likely to be picked. Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-Pa.) has been accused of covering up sexual harassment in his office, and then Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) has been exposed as the co-founder of a spy balloon company that was partially funded by China. This may not preclude Kamala from selecting either, but it likely hurts both of their chances. Now, another top contender has taken his name out of consideration: Gov. Roy Cooper (D-N.C.). According to the New York Times, Cooper "has informed [Harris's] team that he has withdrawn from the vice-presidential sweepstakes, according to two people briefed on the matter." https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2024/07/30/kamala-running-mate-selection-process-takes-a-humiliating-turn-n4931181

NYT: Dastardly Republicans Are 'Weaponizing' Kamala's 2020 Positions Ed Morrissey Oh noes! Heaven forfend that a political candidate answer for their positions from four whole years ago! Yesterday afternoon, the Paper of Record took great offense at Republicans who want to highlight Kamala Harris' record in the upcoming months. That's called "weaponization" rather than "accountability" when Republicans do it, apparently: Before we get to the ridiculous notion that highlighting and comparing public policy positions in an election campaign is "weaponization," let's see how the Gray Lady treats other critiques of public statements. For instance, they began reporting last week about J.D. Vance's poor choice of words on childless women a few days ago. Did they report that Democrats had "weaponized" those comments? Nope. https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2024/07/30/nyt-dastardly-republicans-are-weaponizing-kamalas-2020-positions-n3792452

🎵 Getting to know you 🎶 NYT: Trove of Kamala Harris Videos Touting Progressive Policy Imperils Campaign by Nick Gilbertson The New York Times reports that Vice President Kamala Harris’s advocacy for far-left policies on the 2019 campaign trail could imperil her 2024 bid for the Oval Office. Just days into her candidacy — after President Joe Biden was reportedly forced out as the presumptive Democrat nominee amid a behind-the-scenes pressure campaign from top Democrats, donors, and Hollywood elites — Republicans have shown they are ready for Harris’s candidacy. As Times reporter Reid Epstein noted Monday, several videos and policy visions that Harris, who has been an elected official since 2004, espoused in her last bid for the presidency have already come back to “haunt” her. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/29/us/politics/kamala-harris-2020-positions.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&sgrp=c-cb https://www.breitbart.com/2024-election/2024/07/29/nyt-trove-of-kamala-harris-videos-touting-progressive-policy-imperils-campaign/ .
