Why Hasn’t She Done It?

It would have been so much better had Donald Trump’s closing remarks in last Tuesday’s presidential debate been his opening remarks. Why? Because Trump framed his fight against Harris powerfully. Asked the former president about Harris’ nearly four-year nonperformance: “Why hasn’t she done it?” That is, fix the problems she claims she’ll fix now – problems created by Biden-Harris.

Trump lost some traction coming out of Tuesday’s debate because, although Harris’ remarks came across as canned, she did succeed in making Trump the issue. Any election with an incumbent is supposed to be a referendum on the incumbent. That’s particularly true with Kamala Harris, who lacks the personal attributes to serve in the highest office, and as the “Harris” in the Biden-Harris administration is responsible for the woes that millions of Americans are experiencing – and will experience more deeply if Harris assumes the presidency.

The good news is that Trump has time to turn the tables. He needs to ask his question at every rally and in every interview he gives. His advertising needs to hammer away at it too. And it wouldn’t hurt to close this election with Regan’s memorable question: “Are you better off today than you were four years ago?”

Trump will be Trump, of course. He likes to riff. He tends to be too defensive, and spends more time explaining why he did what he did. But this election isn’t about Trump – or shouldn’t be. It’s about the struggles that tens of millions of working and middle-income wage earners are experiencing. It’s about Biden-Harris deliberately throwing open the southern borders to permit millions of illegals to enter. It’s about spreading crime. It’s about historic government and private sector corruption. It’s a bout the prospect of major war with Russia, China, or both. It’s about the future, which is shaky as hell thanks to Biden-Harris’ wretched leadership.

Trump, always the promoter and marketer, should brand merchandise and signs with “Harris: Why hasn’t she done it?” His ads should feature the question. Saturate it. And Trump should never leave a rally or interview having not asked that very potent question.

It’s a question that practically answers itself, and it’s a question Kamala Harris never wants asked.

The Presidential Debate won’t Decide the Election

Look, no spin here. Donald Trump had a better debate against Biden. On Tuesday night, he looked tired and grumpy. Harris successfully baited Trump, who spent too much time on defense. Yes, the ABC News moderates were biased as hell. It was Harris and ABC News versus Trump. But did anyone expect otherwise?

Trump missed some golden opportunities to frame the election as a referendum on Biden-Harris. Truth is, Trump let Harris frame the contest as a referendum on him – for only a bit, if Trump and his team use the post-debate to dissect Harris’ lies and reposition this race as an up-or-down vote on nearly four miserable years of the Biden-Harris regime.

Kamala Harris? She came off as a bitch: lecturing, scolding, taunting. That won’t play well among a segment of independent voters who don’t want a nasty grade school teacher to be president. Male voters – younger males, in particular – will find Harris’ “Badass Momma” routine off-putting. It’ll be interesting to see how Harris’ performance registers among black men, who may be as turned off by woman wagging a finger in Trump’s face as are other male cohorts. Trump shut up Harris twice for interrupting, which was very good.

However canned Harris’ answers were, she didn’t come across as a ditz. That’s going to allay concerns among some independents about Harris’ competency to serve as president. She isn’t competent, but that’s the Trump campaign’s challenge in the coming days: peel back Harris’ facade.

The big takeaway is that much will happen in the coming days to shape the outcome of this election. The debate is just one battle. Trump has to do what he hasn’t done strongly enough so far: make the focus on Biden-Harris – on hurting working and middle income Americans with higher prices on everything. On choking off domestic energy production, which is the economy’s lifeblood. On deliberately collapsing the border. On crime. On using the law to not only persecute Trump, but many others.

And finally… finally… this election is about ballots. Trump must beat the margin of theft this November. If you don’t expect Democrats to “creatively” ballot in jurisdictions they control in swing states, you didn’t live through the 2020 presidential race. In my estimation, beating the cheat means defeating Harris in battleground states (or the right combination of swing states) by more than 3%. 5% might be what Trump needs to win. Getting pro-Trump voters casting ballots is imperative.

However unevenly Trump did in the debate, it’s only a round in this fight. Cliché as this is, the presidential contest will serve as an historic pivot. Either we move to recapture our liberties or we continue to march toward some form of tyranny. Transforming America comes down to tyrannizing America.

Trump’s election is terribly critical in ending the march of would-be tyrants and rebuilding a free republic. Let’s keep our eyes on the ball.

Time for Courage

As the presidential campaign accelerates, let’s have a reality check.

Either Harris or Trump will be inaugurated president in 2025. Don’t like your choices? Neither do a lot of people. But those are the options. Put on your big girl panties and get over it.

Some ostensibly Republican conservative voters say they’ll come back to the GOP when Trump is gone. Clue phone, and it’s for you: the damage that four more years of Harris would do is far more important than whatever you think of the party. Put America first, not either party. If you do that, you’ll vote for Trump.

Harris is basically a socialist, and certainly proposes socialist policies. Trump is a conservative constitutionalist.

Trump is the more moderate of the two candidates, by far.

Trump was president for four years, in which time we had record low unemployment, low inflation, a more secure border, growing real personal income, and no new wars.

Under Harris, we have had nearly four years of record inflation, sky high drug overdoses, an open border with an epidemic of crimes by illegal aliens, America deep into two new wars, and she promises to pack the court, kill the filibuster, and add new states to boost Democrat power.

If you have trouble deciding which candidate is better for America – or think genitalia and skin color should determine your vote – God help us all.

Only one candidate can be considered a constitutional conservative. Your choices are these: vote for a person you dislike who did a good job as president. Or vote for a person you may or may not like who has done a terrible job.

One succeeded. The other did not.

For nearly a decade, I have watched former Republicans and conservatives drop out, check out, and divorce themselves from either the Party or politics in general. Astonishingly, thousands of these people across the country have convinced themselves this shows their honor and decency.

It shows just the opposite.

If you brag that you’re not going to vote Republican as long as Trump is involved with the party, you are by definition making the party the focus of your decision. I honestly don’t care what party Trump is affiliated with. If he was a Reformed Druid Baptist running against a committed leftist, and he had the best chance of beating them, I would vote for him.

Focus on the Party and you’ll get caught up in 3 AM dorm room-level discussions. Focus on what is best for the country, and the decision comes easily.

This just in: NO ONE CARES what you think about the parties. There is no such thing as a protest vote. There are just people without the courage to take a stand. If you oppose Trump, even though you do not favor socialism, it means your commitment to the good of the country is less important than virtue-signaling and being a part of the self-righteous, smug anti-Trump crowd.

Do you really think it is in the best interests of the country to have a president with Harris’s gross incompetence and socialist positions? Make the case. Go ahead. Convince us that is best for the country. Unless you are a socialist, you can’t.

It takes zero courage to turn your back on a party or a candidate when it is the popular thing to do. Courage is not usually found among the group of people standing at the side and making fun of someone.
Courage is found in sincere thought, facts, sound ideas, values, principles, and actions that back them up.

Hate Trump? Good for you. You’ll get a lot of self-congratulatory dithering from others who also haven’t the backbone to hang in for a tough fight.

I don’t know about you, but IF we lose, I will go down fighting. If we ever lose the country, it will be in spite of my best efforts. Quite literally, it may be over my dead body.

So you can choose. You can be courageous, strong, and patriotic, or you can hang out with the vacuous ciphers who pat each other on the back and claim they’re better than you are.

If You Vote On Issues, You Have Exactly One Defensible Choice

By Rob Meyne

  • Aug. 31 2024
  • 5-min read

A recent article from a North Carolina columnist sums up the views of many anti-Trumpers.

His arguments are well-worn and widely accepted, but so are a lot of things that don’t rely on facts.

Tom Campbell has written a lot of good columns. His latest is not one of them. (His work can be found by searching for Tom Campbell & North Carolina.) His basic point: “Trump sucks,” (not his exact words), so how can anyone support him?

The author’s tactic is typical of those used by many politicians, commentators, and average people; attack the person, not the policy. If the left/media (but I repeat myself) can convince you that Trump is a threat to the nation, and people who support him are mindless zombies who worship him, they don’t have to discuss policy. This is very convenient for people who have records that are difficult to defend, or who are running against a president under whom America did well. That summarizes the 2024 election.

Biden and Harris have been a disaster. Harris and Walz favor Marxist policies, which threaten our freedom and economic strength. And most Americans realize Trump performed well as president, even if they don’t like him.

The ONLY tactic that is likely to succeed against Trump is to claim he is so dangerous literally a threat to the survival of the nation, while avoiding discussing issues, and lying when forced to confront your record.

Every time someone says YOU are a mindless cultist, what it really means is they can’t explain why they support Harris. Count on it. As has been said many times, in general, leftists win by lying, conservatives win when they tell the truth.

Campbell writes that Trump’s commitment to making America great again is “all show.” Apparently, he can read minds and possibly predict the future. Remind me to ask him what the next winning lottery number will be.

Trump entered politics as a rich, famous, successful employer in the private sector. He had taken a small family business and built it into an iconic global brand. Leading Democrats – Harris, Biden, Clinton, Obama, Pelosi, Schumer – spent all or most of their lives on the public dime and grew rich through selling influence and insider training.

Trump also delivered policies that helped mainstream Americans. If that is “all show” I’ll take it.

Trump’s personality, combativeness, and pettiness are a turn-off for many people. We get it. The question is what is most important to you? If it is more important to have a president who doesn’t send mean Tweets than, for example, to prevent nuclear war, then vote for Harris. If the future of the world is more important than personalities, vote for Trump. Decide what is most important and you’ll know what to do.

Campbell says, “And please help me understand why his cult seems willing to forgive his crimes, his outlandish conduct, absence of morality or his incessant lies and still pledge allegiance to him.”

Accusing people of “pledging allegiance to a candidate” is the accusation made by anti-Trumpers who can’t defend their policies and want to vilify you and me. When someone accuses you of being a cultist or of pledging allegiance to a person it proves they are, themselves, bigoted. They accuse you of doing what they are doing.

It Don’t Come Easy, Kamala

By J Robert Smith

  • Aug. 21, 2024
  • 1-min read

Forget about all the smog that corporate media is belching. Kamala Harris is still a ditz. Her sidekick, Tim Walz, is a progressive Minnesota Fats. He’s all about the hustle. He’s a guy who stole valor thinking he could trade it for a beer. The Kamala that we’ve come to know is being memory-holed — or so our hubristic betters hope. For them, like The Fly, something new is aborning. Spinning sell-able narratives depends first on the old Kamala disappearing.

Corporate media’s pollsters are hired to massage numbers as needed. Number massaging is crucial. Kamala vying with Trump in the polls — in fact, leading him by a tittle in this or that battleground state sample — is necessary to bolster whatever narratives her handlers confect. It’s self-reinforcing. Those tight polls also serve as mighty good cover when ballot-counting starts in garden spots like Philly and Detroit.

Blank slate Kamala can be filled-in as perky but not cackling. She’s a woman who bakes, not barks. She strained her widdle eyes studying the southern border for nearly four years, and now she’s got an idea: she’ll close it. She’ll eat Walz’s “white guy tacos” to be a good sport. She’s Florida from Good Times until the Indian vote matters, then she’ll flip to some Bollywood persona.

If Harris and Walz Win, You Lose.
It is That Simple.

By Anthony Trevlac

  • Aug. 11, 2024
  • 4-min read

For those who pay close attention to public affairs, global or domestic, the quadrennial search for a new president is frustrating.

It is certain that huge majorities of people will vote without knowing very much about the challenges we face or about the people running, I have friends who say they don’t follow the news or the campaign, but are very certain they will never vote for Trump.

Really? You don’t even know what is at stake, the facts, or the records of the candidates, but you are certain of your decision? That doesn’t make sense. It isn’t logical to say BOTH that you don’t know much AND that you are certain for whom you will vote. It makes as much sense as your doctor saying they won’t examine you but are confident they have the right diagnosis.

We have a chance to vote for one of two people who have track records. This SHOULD be among the easiest voting decisions we’ve ever seen. Was the nation better off under Trump or under Harris & Biden? That will tell you how to vote.

Harris and Walz are the most socialist/leftist pair to ever seek our nation’s highest offices, and it isn’t even close. But they are running hard from their records and don’t even want you to know what they believe. Of course, Harris has been VP, and they say she was part of every action the Biden White House has taken, so she owns their dismal record. But, the good news is that, if you want to vote for a guy who signed a law requiring tampons to be available in boys restrooms, you’ve got your chance, because Walz did just that.

The addition of Walz to the ticket confirms they think they can win by relying on identity politics and socialist/leftist policies. Maybe they can.

The Dems are presenting a marketing campaign, not a political campaign. They don’t even PRETEND to care about issues. And it has never been so clear.

Gov. Walz is a sign that the antisemitic cohort of the Democrat Party is in charge. Walz sucks up to the radical Islamists in MN and elsewhere. He has repeatedly hosted a MN cleric who celebrated the Oct. 7 attacks. That is the Dem choice for VP. He has explained that free speech guarantees don’t apply to hate speech and misinformation. Well… of course they do. The First Amendment was designed, specifically, to apply to free political speech that you don’t like. The Dem leaders are now saying, openly, that First Amendment protections do NOT apply to speech they don’t like.

Harris and Walz: Atop the Democrats’ Wedding Cake

By J Robert Smith

  • Aug. 8, 2024
  • 1-min read

On Wednesday, Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris named her running mate. Minnesota governor Tim Walz got the nod over Josh Shapiro, Pennsylvania’s governor. Rumors of Michelle Obama wanting second banana were fanciful. The Obamas aren’t second anything.

Walz’s selection is a bit of a surprise. Shapiro would have brought more to the ticket, and Pennsylvania is critical to Harris’ chances this autumn. Donald Trump enjoys a slim lead in the Keystone State. Democrats may figure that they’ll just steal PA from Trump, as happened in 2020. Shapiro may have threatened Kamala’s sense of self. Kamala is said to be insecure, self-doubting, and bullying. In an increasingly volatile world, she’s the perfect choice to helm the ship-of-state.

What can we say about a man [Walz] who protects those who mutilate children’s bodies in the name of “gender-affirming health care?” How about promoting the savagery of no-limits abortion? How about banning counseling for gender dysphoria sufferers? How about safeguarding graphic LGBTQ themed pornography in public libraries and schools?

Americans Led the Fight Against Global Slavery

By Anthony Trevlac

  • Aug. 4, 2024
  • 3-min read

Elon Musk is a giant of common sense, facts, and free speech. He may have done more, by purchasing Twitter, to protect free speech than anyone alive. His courage and comments displayed in this interview with the hapless and clueless Don Lemon are spot on.

The left’s power depends on as many of us as possible feeling victimized and powerless. They say very little positive about America and do everything they can to divide us.

Most conservative Americans don’t look at other people primarily in terms of race or sex. Most leading Democrats do. They have invented this horseshit fiction called “white privilege,” which is itself a racist and bigoted view. It makes no sense to say all Black people are inferior or that all white people are privileged. We are a nation of individuals, not groups. If a ton of people in one group do not have the same economic resources, we should spend our efforts rooting out the causes rather than constantly using race as an excuse.

But, our leaders know it is easier to blame racism for our problems than it is to courageously admit we don’t yet have all the answers. It is far easier to blame others than to admit you don’t have the answers.

Give us equal opportunity and let us live our lives. We will never become less racist by embracing policies that are racist, like intersectionality. Many in education today teach people that certain groups are denied full access to our opportunities and resources. That is simply a lie. No federal or state laws deny benefits or employment to Black people or Hispanics or Asians or anyone else.

White Americans are not the most successful or richest cohort. Not even close. Look it up and you will see that various groups with Asian heritage are far and away the most “privileged.” If we care about people, we should be looking at what makes anyone successful and promote those policies. Anyone who just assumes whites are privileged and the source of all racism are just intellectually dishonest or ignorant.

The fact that some groups underperform others is the result of an infinitely complex set of circumstances, and we should address them as we can. But, unlike what Critical Race Theory maintains, unequal results are not proof of racism. It isn’t that simple.

The goal of the American experience has NEVER been to guarantee everyone will end up in the same place, as Kamala Harris advocates, but to make sure they all have equal opportunities. It is a hugely important, fundamental distinction. Equity means equal outcomes, based on groups. It is the opposite of equal opportunity. The Biden Administration, from Day One, turned its back on equal opportunity and embraced equity, literally through an Executive Order the day he was inaugurated. (It was between 10 AM and 4 PM, so he was still awake.)

When you spend all your time looking for reasons to think America is racist, you will find them. If you look for reasons to think we are irritable, fat, mean, or rude you will find them, too.

That is exactly what we should not do. We should spend our time focusing on what is good and decent and loving. You are controlled by your dominant thoughts. If you think you will be happy, successful, and strong, you will be.

As far as slavery goes… every cohort in America has ancestors that were slaves, if you go back far enough. White people have been slaves. So have Asians, Blacks, you name it. Some Black people, even in America, owned slaves. Most of the slave trade from Africa did NOT come to America. The thing that is unique about America is the effort we made to stop slavery, not propagate it.

Slavery was a human scourge, not a uniquely American one. America was one of the earliest nations to end slavery and outlaw the slave trade. We should celebrate the fact that we fought a war to get rid of it. We should look to the future united as brothers who celebrate our mutual freedom and individuality.
When a person needs a hand, we should offer it because they are human. The issue should not be the amount of melanin in their skin, their affiliation with an “underserved” community, or their chromosomes.

If you agree with that, you have one and only one presidential candidate to vote for this year. Pick a lane.

A Must Read by Victor Davis Hanson

By J Robert Smith

  • July 29, 2024
  • 2-min read

Certainly, guilt over their largess, together with our 21st century
secular update of sanctimonious New England puritanism, explain
this overweening left-wing new zealotry
to change the world, but largely at others’ expense.
They are the descendants of Salem, who share the same
superstitions and fanaticism to punish all
who doubt their purity and wisdom.

— Excerpt, Victor Davis Hanson, America’s Lab Rats?

There’s no one better than Professor Victor Davis Hanson in surveying the national landscape and providing comprehensive diagnoses of what ails America.

The nation’s cultural divide is at the heart of the troubles and conflicts that beset the country. A mega-wealthy elite – representing a tiny percentage of the U.S. – have embraced radical beliefs and values. They’re the cutting edge. They have sought for nearly a generation to inflict their radicalism on us, the majority who instinctively reject the elites society-destroying experiments. Theirs is, as Professor Hanson points out, an insufferable sanctimony borne of their professional accomplishments and the wealth produced. Further, as with the old Puritans, their righteousness is to be regarded as unassailable. The penalties for doing otherwise promise to be severe.

All true, but Professor Hanson’s diagnoses lead us to an inevitable conclusion. There’s no accommodation with these wealthy radicals and their minions. How do you find accommodation with people who have no intention to meet others somewhere in the middle? They aren’t content to limit themselves in any way.

Their intention is to conquer America. We are to be subjugated to their anti-God, debauched morality. We are to meekly surrender our lives to woke and DEI (diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) orthodoxies. If we suffer – if our families, friends, and neighbors suffer – it’s in service of their twisted concept of social justice. We will bend knees or suffer even greater depravations and humiliations.

This is an internal conquest. It’s a rough parallel, but what is happening now does hold some similarities to the subjugation that the American Indian experienced.

Yet, tens of millions of Americans aren’t a stone age people. We are the doers and builders and maintainers of America. We are the nation’s backbone – break it, and the nation breaks, too. But that appears the intent of the elite.

How does this end? It is a zero-sum game. It’s intended by the elite to be just that. No guess is ventured here as to the particulars of how this intensifying conflict resolves, but it must resolve with a victory for traditional America. Not defeating this determined foe means there won’t be much left of the America that a multitude of patriots died for.

Professor Hanson’s article can be found at his website, “Blade of Perseus.”

Getting Crazy with Speculation

Democrats will shortly elevate Vice President Kamala Harris to the Democrat presidential nomination. Democrats will spin her nomination furiously. (Photo by Gage Skidmore)

By J Robert Smith

  • July 22, 2024
  • 3-min read

In the aftermath of the near-assassination of Donald Trump, there was a deluge of speculation on X (formerly Twitter) and other social media. A lot of higher profile conservatives suggested that the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was somehow linked to a conspiracy to kill the former president. Some of the speculation has been wild.

The speculation about Crooks was fueled, in part, by the lack of transparency by the FBI, Secret Service, and other law enforcement agencies. Granted, with an ongoing investigation, law enforcement must withhold some details, lest the investigation be hampered. But there’s plenty about Crooks and the event’s general circumstances that could be discussed. Lack of communications has only ratcheted up guesswork.

Now, does that mean we should write off the possibility that Crooks was the gunman in a scheme to kill Trump? No. Certainly, authorities should have or are exploring that avenue. Should we trust law enforcement? Maybe not, but let’s see what they claim first.

Based on the information that has surfaced about Crooks to date, it seems unlikely that he was anything more than a misfit. He was another in a long line of losers who decided killing – in this case a former president – was a way of evening scores for failures in his own life. And/or Crooks was a radicalized left-winger.

Democrats and corporate media spent months demonizing Trump as the next Hitler, a wannabe dictator, and the destroyer of democracy. It may be that such highly inflammatory, hate-filled language helped Crooks rationalize attempting to assassinate Trump. Perhaps, Crooks believed that important establishment voices branding Trump as dangerous gave him license to commit murder? Perhaps, in his twisted mind, he thought he’d be celebrated as a hero for killing Trump?

“Where’s Biden” Craziness

Joe Biden hasn’t been seen since – well, for days. In fact, he issued (or someone did) a statement declaring that he was backing out of the presidential contest. It was announced a few days ago that Biden was battling COVID. That may explain why he hasn’t been visible. It may also be that Biden is stewing because he didn’t chose to leave the race. Chances are, Biden was forced out of the contest. Who knows, he may have been induced to leave with financial guarantees and guarantees of legal cover for himself and his clan of grifters. But that’s guesswork, too.

Nonetheless, Biden being scarce has sparked oodles of speculation that the Democrats or whoever are keeping him out of the public eye for whatever nefarious reason. Again, we can’t exclude that Biden is being kept under wraps to serve some dark purpose, but not likely. Biden is sick, and he and Dr. Jill are probably taking time to lick their wombs. If Biden stays out of sight much longer, then there may be legitimate questions about his well being and whereabouts. We’ll find out more shortly, so let’s exercise a little patience and not spin crazy tales.

Tag, Kamala is It

Meanwhile, the Democrats will shortly elevate Kamala Harris to the Democrat presidential nomination. They’ve already locked up the delegates. Democrats will spin her nomination furiously. They’ll gaslight like maniacs hoping that no stink clings to her as part of Biden’s failed presidency. Along with corporate media, they’ll use all their powers to try to make Kamala who she isn’t and never was.

Kamala Harris is a silly, unsmart, untalented politician. Harris is a double box check: Female and part Black. Harris has no slave ancestry – at least, not related to the American south. She spent a big chunk of her growing up years in Toronto, Canada. She’s a knee-jerk left-winger. She would be a terrible president if she’s elected (with a little help from creative balloting).

A Harris presidency would extend the Barack Obama team’s hold on the White House and executive authority. Harris would simply replace Biden as chief puppet.

You can take all that to the bank.
