Re: Kamala Harris Remakes Herself

Again, are we really this stupid? Are we going to let her get away with memory-holing the past 1,300 days? Short answer. Yes, we are. ‘Pound policy!’ said the tiny bit of media still somewhat unbiased. They are all riffing on 1984 America, when the collective idiocy factor was much smaller. People knew things then because they had learned how to think without someone doing it for them. A Reagan would have won 97% of the vote against a Harris. If you tried to talk policy with the current electorate, half would demand that the policy be defunded, and the other half would just shrug and waddle off in search of a buffet.” —Oklahoma

“Unfortunately, yes, the Democrat low-information voters are really this stupid and naive. Abetted by the MSM and the glamorous A-listers, the Harris remake is complete and her abysmal track record is whitewashed. Just listen to the buzz — everyone is talking about the joy and the energy and believes every lie spouted by the Harris/Walz ticket. Democrats have been mesmerized by rhetoric and flash for years and will be again in 2024. Tulsi Gabbard said it best: Harris is an empty suit. But that makes no difference to the Demos!” —California

Re: The Kamalafest Coronation Convention

“RFK Jr. is just finding out what Ronald Reagan knew 60 years ago. The Democrats of then are not the Democrats of now.” —Louisiana

“Harris and Walz? The Donner party made better choices.  So begins the cannibalism that is the current Democrat Party.” —Washington

“Not one vote has Kamala Harris ever received from the citizens of this country regarding her current status. If that is not tyranny, then what is?” —Massachusetts

“Doing a search of the DNC platform finds that Biden is mentioned 287 times, Trump is mentioned 150 times, and Harris is mentioned 32 times. Of those 32 times, she’s mentioned seven times in connection with Biden. So ultimately, she gets only 25 standalone mentions. Clearly, the DNC is more interested in Trump by six times over Harris and in Biden by a whopping 11 times, even though they’ve already kicked him to the curb.” —Illinois

Re: It’s Still the Obama Party

“We see a political party of death. We are killing tens of thousands with uncontrolled drug smuggling by illegal immigrants. More are dying from the use of ‘recreational’ drugs. Our indigent are homeless, drugged, and violent. They include millions of lawbreakers. ‘Help Wanted’ ads go unfulfilled. We are becoming a nation of poverty and underemployed with an avaricious government. Raise the taxes! All we see is a power-hungry collection of inept political hacks.” —Washington

Re: RFK Slams the Harris/Walz Ticket

“Very good summary of the fratricidal fight within the Democrat Party ranks. May both sides inflict many casualties! Hopefully when RFK endorses Trump, that will influence some moderates!” —Rhode Island

“RFK Jr. is spot on. I voted Democrat (shamefully) for years until Obama threw working men and women under the bus. I have not voted for one since — they care only for power for the ones at the top.” —Montana

Re: RFK Jr., Donald Trump, and ‘A Hopeful Sign’

“While I do not agree with RFK Jr. on many things, he has hit the nail on the head of late. The Democrat Party is not the same party of his father and uncle. They were not saints by any means, but show me who is. We all have feet of clay. To his joining forces with Mr Trump, I say: WELCOME, brother!” —Montana

Re: Why Would Walz Lie About Infertility?

“Harris, Walz, Biden, Obama, Pelosi, and Schumer have done nothing but lie to America. The list of liars is even longer than this, but space is limited. Not all Republicans are innocent, either, but their list is a bit shorter. Why do we listen to them? When they speak in front of an audience and know they are lying, how do they look at themselves in a mirror? Politicians and lawyers are perhaps the best at lying. There are many who do not, but we don’t hear about them because the media sides with the liars. There’s more money there. I don’t watch NBC, CBS, or ABC, as the lies are too much. The media should be fair and balanced. With the amount of money thrown at the media and Democrats to lie, when do we ever hear the truth? Socialism is on the horizon.” —Arizona

Re: A Mind-Numbing Stolen Valor Pass for Walz

“As an Air Force veteran with 165 combat missions in Vietnam, and as a fighter pilot flying as a wingman supporting my flight leader, then as a flight lead with a wingman supporting me as their flight leader, I can say unequivocally that I would never trust Tim AWOLz on my wing, nor would anyone I know.” —Georgia

“Thanks, Alexander. Sending this article to my contacts with the Wall Street Journal editorial board now in protest.” —Florida

“As an enlisted combat veteran of both Iraq and Afghanistan, I would be interested to know if Walz has received any retirement benefits for a rank he did not hold.” —California

“Walz’s false claims are despicable, and he should never be anywhere near inheriting the post of CINC.” —Illinois

“Walz’s stolen valor record reveals his lack of integrity. He is a liar and a coward. We already have enough of those in Demo leadership.” —Minnesota

Re: Fifty GOP Congressional Vets Excoriate AWalz

“Why is it that no one has filed a FOIA request for documents that first alerted Walz’s unit for possible deployment? You don’t deploy a reserve unit without giving the senior leadership sufficient time for training and equipage. This requires years of preplanning and funding. Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm required a minimum of a year using already trained troops. WALZ HAD TO BE AWARE OF THE COMING DEPLOYMENT and decided to boogie instead. I’m surprised he didn’t go to China.” —Texas

Re: Douglas Murray: Speaking Truth to Power

“Yes, here in America, thankfully, we can still ‘speak out’ about immigration. But once the deep state lockdown is complete, and Newspeak is fully enforced, we won’t be able to. Unfortunately, that’s the extent of it. We speak out. We do not act. Right now, these dangers are growing, unchecked. If allowed to continue to metastasize, words like ‘revolution’ and ‘secession’ are going to be part of our everyday vernacular again.” —Oklahoma

“In troubled times, a leader will recognize a problem, come up with a solution, and confront it for his people — usually at great cost to himself. When a tyrant sees a problem, he will come up with slogans, confront his own people, and exact a terrible price from them. The UK government’s behavior might seem like a simple case of a government desperate to retain control, but why does it so badly want to control the British people in the first place? Why would it dismiss the explicit concerns about immigration as bigotry, lie about its intentions for so long, and jail anyone who points this out? Because they’re tyrants.” —California

Re: Profiles of Valor: SSG Salvatore Giunta (USA)

“Always refreshing to read about great American Patriots! Thank you, Patriot team, for reminding us about what is good and right about America!” —Oregon
