US Elections (& Politics) :)

[David L]

Here’s a thought…with many, many citizens and illegals, who do not follow politics, but are loyal to Biden, will they show up to the polls and wonder who Harris or whomever the Democratic Party wants on the ticket is? So, will they just not vote because they don’t know any of the names on the ballot?

 

[David L]

My guess is they say he's incapacitated, on a Vent, not expected to make it

(Now he may have passed yesterday but that will take years to discover)

If he is still alive, wonder how many million of dollars it took to pay off the Biden's? The money is sitting in Switzerland laundered through Ukraine...

 

[David L]

Here is a thought, by getting rid of Biden, the Dems can now distance themselves from all the damage they caused under Biden, so who ever runs can point the finger to Biden, Trump no longer can spell out all the damage Biden did...
I know I am not saying this right, but hopefully you get me point. Sure Trump will point at the Dems for all the damage done but who every is running has a new Platform...

Within a few hours of the bizarre Twitter post yesterday (confirmed on the FEC site) all $200 Million in campaign funds for Biden were transferred to Kamala Harris. This was obviously coordinated ahead of time

 

[bigredfish]

Kamala will be President very soon.

She won’t be chosen to run for the Election however

[David L]

With both of my parents having Dementia, neither could sign anything like they use to...

This is Not an excuse for someone who is suppose to be President though...he should of been gone many years ago...

 

[David L]

Mebbe, but I doubt you'll see him alive again

So Jill rakes in millions as her husband dies?

 

[David L]

So the Ventilator and Remdesivir is working...

 

[David L]

Kamala will be President very soon.

She won’t be chosen to run for the Election however

I think you are right here...the Dems are all about the first Women, first Black, first Gay, first Trans, etc. They Love Division; they can point back to all these and falsely claim unity...then throw out the Racist card who disagrees...

and I think she will be WORSE than pedo-Joe, because she THINKS she's smart enough for the job. Joe's handlers won't be able to keep her in line with what Obama, errrr... the DNC/Soros wants her to do. She'll be a woke nutjob with more power than ever.

One of the very few people on the Democrats side who still uses common sense. I believe this guy was also one of the first few who was against stock trading by members of Congress. I know this because I saw him debate Vivek.

Defending the Republic has a GREAT message out today. Particularly regarding the Chevron deference ruling.

1- It only took an hour or so for the long knives to come out to "Julius Caesar" Kamala Harris at the New York Times. While some Democrats voiced support for her, it feels an inch deep.
Oh, and to correct a lie, Harris is not African American. Her mother was Indian and her father was Jamaican; each had a Ph.d from Stanford and Berkeley, respectively. Both immigrated to America and became citizens through legal means.
Breitbart
New York Times Board Wants Kamala Harris Out of the Race

QUOTE: The New York Times editorial board wants Vice President Kamala Harris off the 2024 ticket because of “profound concerns” about her electability.
The push to dump the nation’s first black vice president was posted just after President Joe Biden announced he would not run in the 2024 election — and it could threaten Democratic turnout in November.
The board first provided some throat-clearing praise for Biden:
By agreeing to step down when his term ends in January, he is greatly increasing the chance that his party is able to protect the nation from the dangers of returning Donald Trump to the presidency.
Then it dropped the hammer:
There are other qualified Democrats who could take on Mr. Trump and win, and picking a candidate without a real contest is how the party got into a position of anointing a standard-bearer that large majorities of Democrats and independents had profound concerns about. While the hour is late, there is still time to put leading candidates through a process of public scrutiny before the party’s nominating convention begins on Aug. 19, to inform the choice of a nominee and to build public support.
But the NYT‘s push is also very risky for the Democrats’ disparate coalition. Black Americans provided roughly 11.5 percent of the electorate in 2020 and delivered one in five of the Biden’s votes.
President Donald Trump has been trying to win a large share of the black electorate and is making some inroads among black men, partly because many black Americans recognize that Democratic leaders are eagerly wooing Latino migrants in major cities, including Chicago and New York.

​

2- It is not as if the Democrats will let a few pesky federal laws stand in their way. Nonetheless, it looks like donors are going to have donate again after they get their first donation back. Got it?
Breitbart
FEC Chairman: Biden Donations ‘Shall Be Either Returned or Refunded’ After Drop Out

QUOTE: Federal Election Commission (FEC) Chairman Sean Cooksey has announced that all donations made to Joe Biden for the November election “shall be either returned or refunded” or redesignated “as appropriate” following his departure from the presidential race.
Citing the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Cooksey made the statement in a Sunday afternoon X post after Biden announced his decision to drop out:
The full text of that particular CFR rule states, “If the candidate is not a candidate in the general election, all contributions made for the general election shall be either returned or refunded to the contributors or redesignated in accordance with 11 CFR 110.1(b)(5), or reattributed in accordance with 11 CFR 110.1(k)(3), as appropriate.”
Since Biden had not yet formally been nominated by the Democratic Party, questions have arisen on if he can legally transfer his chest of $100 million to Vice President Kamala Harris, who he endorsed to take his place after dropping out Sunday.
According to election lawyer Charlie Spies, Biden will not be able to do that.

3- Since political news moves very fast there has not been a lot of attention placed on the potential results of the Supreme Court decision on Chevron. Elizabeth Nickson writes of the history and the future based on this decision. If you have the time read the long and documented piece in full.
Elizabeth Nickson on Substack
Chevron will Stop the Catastrophic Failures of the Administrative State

QUOTE: The glitch is here: the polite left, the Ivy educated, the ones who think they know better, have circumvented the constitution, the balance of powers, and created a super-state, an entirely Prussian monster, a throwback to the days of Kings, the Star Chamber and tyranny, an abrogation of all power to themselves. They judge themselves, they never suffer consequences for their failures. Across the board, they have placed themselves above the law.Their fate will be the same as Charles 1, who tried the same thing, beheaded in public.
Philip Hamburger, America’s acknowledged expert on the Administrative State, and the man who brought down Chevron, points out, “the gain in popular suffrage has been accompanied by disdain for the choices made through a representative system and a corresponding shift of legislative power out of Congress.”
If the statute is silent or ambiguous, the bureaucrat decides. Law deference. This translated to near everything.
Chevron, brought and won in 1984 by the Rockefeller-founded Natural Resource Defence Council, (NDRC) was all about the Rockefeller push to sequester resources from “the people” and de-develop the earth in order to “save” it. Chevron morphed fast into destroying the economy in order to “save” it. It was the first incursion into American governance in the plan to create a World Government, a massive over-arching Administrative State that would control everything not nailed down.
The knock-on effects were legion, literally demonic and beyond counting. It moved power into the homogenized class of Ivy Leaguers who think they know better and actually know nothing about real life. It severely threatened civil liberties, it gutted the judiciary, it gutted Congress, it put all the power in the executive, the office of the President who directed the agencies. It made Congressmen and women into fundraisers and stripped them of their primary duty to collaborate while writing statutes. It made them trivial showmen. It stripped the will of the people from their government.
Chevron Deference started all this. It was an artful, sleazy, triumph for the enemies of democracy. It meant that in any situation the government always won. If you questioned the statement by government that there is no water for your housing development, your ranch, your farm, asserting that it hadn’t been investigated properly, any politician or judge would shrug and say, “The Department of Interior’s hydrologists say so”.
Chevron gave all the agencies the power to make regulation without Congress having directed them to do so. At the other end Deference eliminated judicial review of their actions.
In the real world, where real adults, not Ivy League children, function, build families and towns and businesses, all through the U.S., agencies ran roughshod over every business which required water, air, and land in which to operate, and has been doing so for forty years. Add in emission reductions, and another layer of absurdist regulation crushes enterprise. Every country, region, state and province, small town, county, agricultural zone, National, state, regional park region, every resort town, every ranching county has a Policy Statement and ancillary documents which determine its future. And they are all directed from above and focused on de-growth, de-population.
The administrative state that was powering all this was extractive, it feared creative destruction, feared growth, and turned the whole culture inward, fighting for the power to restrict humanity, and inevitably turning us towards instability. The knowledge class fighting to imprison us complains about the instability they themselves created for their own personal gain. In the job market for knowledge workers, rather than create something, people compete for jobs to police, suppress and censor. This is the definition of a vicious circle and will bring down the whole human enterprise.
The great hulking largely unconscious dragon of the market reads the future better than anyone. Trump’s ascendance is clear, barring industrial cheating, and the striking down of Chevron Deference is key, it is everything, it clears the path towards an American resurgence, that can and will power the world.

4- What do you suppose could cause rape, in some parts of NYCity, to almost double?
NYPost
Rape surges 11% in NYC — as bail reform, vulnerable migrants, depleted NYPD create perfect crime storm

QUOTE: The Big Apple has seen an alarming 11% jump in rapes this year — with some sections of the city seeing their numbers more than double.
There were 880 rapes reported citywide from Jan. 1 through July 14, compared to 796 in the same period last year, NYPD stats reveal.
“This should be a wake up call,” said Jane Manning, director of Women’s Equal Justice.“The NYPD needs to allocate more investigators to its understaffed Special Victims Unit, so that every case is investigated well and dangerous offenders are apprehended.”
Experts suggested several factors could be behind the increase, including the NYPD’s dwindling manpower, the surge in the migrant population, and failing bail-reform policies.
“It’s no secret that the NYPD is down significantly in terms of force size. Because it’s down, whenever it decides to prioritize something – say for example subway offenses – that’s going to make the topside slightly more vulnerable, as far as more cops are now below ground,” said Rafael Mangual, a criminal justice policy expert and senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute.
Migrant shelters could also be partially to blame for the increase in rapes in certain areas, but it’s impossible to tell without information on the addresses of the attacks, according to Mangual.
“The NYPD vigorously investigates every single rape complaint and will continue to work to bring justice to the survivors of these heinous crimes,” a department spokesperson said.

hmmm .. has the definition of African American changed ?

"Oh, and to correct a lie, Harris is not African American. Her mother was Indian and her father was Jamaican " - Defending the Republic

definition I recall :

"African Americans, also known as Black Americans or Afro-Americans, are an ethnic group consisting of Americans with partial or total ancestry from any of the Black racial groups of Africa"
