  1. “There really is no President Biden or Vice President Harris. The former is non compos mentis and failing ever more rapidly. The latter has no clue who she is or what she should do. The cabal that engineered their respective exits and entrances cares more about retaining power than using it for American interests.”

    It’s also the work of Kamala’s favorite, and recommended by her, get a criminal out of jail fund.

    “Tim Walz and Keith Ellison commuted a sentence for a man that murdered an 11-year-old girl.

    Within three months they were busted for possession of drugs and a firearm.

    That man was then bailed out by the Minnesota Freedom Fund.

    Absolutely disgusting.”

  3. A critique of Kamala’s “policies” from the Republican VP nominee. This is what a policy debate looks like. Too bad only one side is participating.

    “It has been 50 days since Kamala Harris became the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party. In the dead of night yesterday, she finally released her campaign policy page. Here’s what I think of it 🧵”

    —-

    “2) Kamala claims she wants to make rent more affordable and home ownership more attainable, but that’s not what her plan would do at all.

    Kamala wants to give every first time homebuyer a $25,000 check toward downpayment assistance. What she fails to leave out is that this would likely raise the average home price by the same amount, making her plan moot. We also haven’t heard how the debt-burdened federal government would pay for such a plan.

    There’s also no guarantee that this down payment assistance will be limited to citizens. The campaign has yet to lay out what requirements there will be, beyond being a first time homebuyer and having a two year history of rental payments. One reporter has indicated that only an SSN or taxpayer identification number will be required. If that’s true, then this would leave open the door for millions of illegal immigrants to get this assistance. And this wouldn’t be the first time housing assistance has gone to noncitizens—there are a number of federal housing subsidies that noncitizens are eligible for: including the HOME Investment Partnership Program and Treasury’s pandemic era Emergency rental assistance program.

    But under Kamala, the potential for assistance to go to illegals isn’t the only issue. Couple that with Kamala’s CFPB and DOJ effectively forcing banks to lend to noncitizens. They’ve rewritten guidance mandating that banks cannot deny loan applications strictly on citizenship grounds, even though citizenship and residence status bear a large impact on loan repayment prospects.

    Vice President Harris also mentions how she’ll spur the construction of “3 million more rental units.” While she outlines an admirable plan, it’s tough to take it seriously. This Vice President has overseen an administration that has enacted new red tape for multi-family and single-family construction. We’ve seen her Housing and Urban Development Department enact green energy requirements for new rental units, mandatory strictly-cosmetic updates to public housing units, and more regulations that will make it harder to grow the rental supply.

    That’s not the end of it. The Vice President seems to think that the ongoing housing crisis is strictly due to a supply problem, but it’s not. Her policies have also driven demand for housing through the roof, particularly when looking at the price and availability of rental units.

    As I’ve outlined before, and as academic research supports, mass immigration drives up demand, threatens the American dream of homeownership, and makes housing less affordable for working Americans.

    When a city’s immigrant population increases, the area’s home prices and rental costs rise by a comparable amount. But the effects vary by neighborhood: home values are negatively correlated with the immigrant concentration. The result: only current homeowners in non-immigrant, wealthy neighborhoods stand to benefit from mass immigration. Working-class residents see their rental costs soar, and their home values decline.

    It’s common sense, we can’t fix our housing crisis until we address the crisis at the border.”

  4. Take the time to read the thread from the VP nominee. He does his research, it’s not just talking points like the other side. He explains why Kamala and Walz’s policies would be detrimental to America.

    An informed voter is the best kind, so it’s helpful to know where the candidates stand, and where the stark differences in policy lie.

  5. “4) Kamala Harris claims she wants to make our education system a pathway to the middle class.

    Take it from me, a working-class kid who went to Ohio State on the GI Bill and then to Yale: education can absolutely be pathway to the American Dream. But I’m not naive enough to think that our current system works for everyone. It obviously doesn’t. Fewer than one-in-five American students goes smoothly from high school to college to a career that uses their degree.

    Kamala Harris doesn’t want to address these problems. Instead, she wants to double down on the failures of our education system. She wants taxpayers to write off more student loans, to increase subsidies that will only drive up tuition costs, and to send even more money to some of the worst-performing universities in the country.

    Here’s what I’d like to know: What will Harris say to Pennsylvania ironworkers who are upset that they have to pay for someone else’s college degree?

    The answer, I’m afraid, is absolutely nothing. Kamala Harris, like the rest of our education establishment, treats the majority of hard-working Americans without a college degree as an afterthought. We’re the only developed country in the world without a distinct, vocational education pathway, and yet Kamala Harris thinks the solution is to send even more money to universities.⁩”

    5) Kamala says she wants to invest in affordable child care, but again that’s not what her plan would do:

    As I’ve said before, I want our public policy to increase access to affordable childcare options and empower parents with the flexibility and resources to make the best childcare decisions for their family.

    Harris says that she wants families to “afford high-quality child care.” That may sound nice, but as always, Harris is light on detail and heavy on slogans. What might she mean by this?

    It’s tough to say, but the best indication would be the national childcare plan that she’s already laid out with President Biden as par of their “Build Back Better” plan. We all know how those policies turned out: skyrocketing inflation.

    But the childcare provisions of their plan were so extreme that not even a Democrat-controlled Congress could pass them. They wouldn’t have worked for many American families.

    Most parents who use a paid childcare center say they prefer a faith-based provider. What would Harris’s plan do for them? Nothing. Childcare providers based in a house of worship would have been excluded from funding opportunities. Other faith-based providers would be subject to additional regulations in to access funding that might not have been able to meet.

    Many parents prefer to stay at home with a young child or have a loved-one watch them. Would Harris’s plan support these families? Not at all. Her proposal was only supports childcare centers and would offer no support to families that prefer not to send their children to daycare.

    Ensuring families have access to affordable childcare is an important challenge for our policy to help tackle. But the answer cannot be to force families into Kamala’s preferred one-size-fits-all model. We can support parents and their children without leaving millions of families behind.⁩”

  7. Good question for the media as well.

    “Every NFL coach & quarterback — win or lose —will be forced to answer media questions about their game decisions, good or bad. Kamala hasn’t had a single press conference in 49 days as presidential nominee. Why do we require more from QBs & coaches than a would be president?”

    She should be answering for her acts, good or bad. And the media should be hammering her for not doing so.

  10. I am thinking the sad-eyed appeals of cats and dags in that artistic rendering could refer to that under Harris the animal owners would not be able to afford to buy cat and dog food. The dollars are all going to take care of the overwhelming population of people who are here from other nations.

  11. I know what the Walz administration and Democrats did to our childcare system. They put in so many new regulations that many childcare providers closed up shop. Now they are desperate to try to get new providers.

    Even though I may press the like button, it does not mean I have read or listened to it all, either. Sometimes I press like simply because I appreciate that someone went to the effort to find and post something. Sometimes my hand might accidentally touch the screen and like something, too. That happens to people who have vision problems 🙂

    As I said before, I appreciate having available sources I Don’t usually see.

  14. It’s in reference to the Haitian immigrants catching, killing, and eating ducks and geese from parks in Ohio, as well as neighborhood dogs and cats, which would obviously make them pro Trump, who wants them mass deported. So of course, geese, ducks, dogs, and cats favor Trump.

    Jokes are not nearly as funny when you have to explain them.
