"DOGE unveils a roadmap, Unlocking GDP Growth, WW3 escalation, Fat cell memory" | All-in podcast

Much excitement about DOGE -- the Department of Government Efficiency, already in action, with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy in joint charge. These are the two Chief Disrupters of Trump's band of disrupters. 

I'm also excited. I see an amazing team coming together under Trump. A truly diverse team, diverse in thought and type. This is an historic moment in American history. Nothing like this would be on the cards if Kamala had won. Then it would have been more of the same... only worse. 

Listen to the All-in podcast above. Four guys, independently wealthy -- I think all are billionaires -- who have come from various political factions, and now align, mostly, with Trump. But all independent thinkers. Who owe no allegiance to anyone, and don't have to hew to any one party.  Not even to Trump. Though for now they do. 

They are so worth listening to. The team: JCal (moderator), Chamath, Friedman and Sacks. 

The All-in podcast is now in the top ten worldwide in business and political podcasts. 

May 2011, classic car exhibition, Nairobi, Kenya

Yours truly with a Jaguar MkII, at the Nairobi Classic Car Fair
during our Cape to Cairo trip

But, you know, all cultures are equal....

From Amy Mek.

May 27, 2014:

In Lahore, Pakistan, a pregnant woman, Farzana Parveen, 25, was stoned to death by her own Islamic family in front of a Pakistani high court on Tuesday for marrying the man she loved. Nearly 20 members of the woman's family, including her father, brothers, and former finance, attacked her and her husband with batons and bricks in broad daylight before a crowd of Muslim onlookers in front of the high court of Lahore. What was Farzana Parveen's crime? She had married Mohammad Iqbal against her family's wishes after being engaged to him for several years. Thousands of women are murdered every year in Muslim-majority Pakistan in so-called "honor killings" – carried out by husbands or relatives as a punishment for not adhering to their Islamic demands. (If they treat their own family like this, imagine what they will do to your family members) Mujahid said the woman's father has been arrested for murder and that police were working to apprehend all those who participated in the "heinous crime". Thanks to Islamic immigration, we are now witnessing the importation of honor killings, beheadings, genital mutilation, acid attacks, grooming gangs, gang rapes, child brides, etc, into our Western nations. Many of these crimes that were once virtually unheard of in the West are becoming alarmingly common due to our open-border migration policies. This violence does not discriminate, affecting women and men of all ages, occurring on our streets, in our schools, on public transport, and in countless other public spaces Our communities are under threat, and our politicians and media refuse to name the problem (Islam) or deport it.

======================

The U.S. media consistently avoids highlighting the fact that Obama spent several weeks in Islamic Pakistan during his college summer vacation in 1981, staying in Karachi. Many U.S. politicians are controlled by Pakistan - for example - U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar

Why I've become more anti the Palestine cause

Nothing will ever satisfy the anti-Zionist movement. All they want is dead Jews. I update my worldview based on new information and I’ve come to that conclusion after observing the pro-Palestine movement for 13 months.  

I actually became more pro-Israel as time went on because the behaviour of the majority of participants in the pro-Palestine protest movement was so disgusting and blatantly genocidal and anti-Semitic. Here

"Islamophobia awareness month"

Click above for the video. 

Be aware of what a crock "Islamophobia" is. A term invented by the Muslim Brotherhood back in the 1980s, to deflect attention from Islamism. 

Many in the UK have cottoned on. They know it's BS. The opposite is the case. We ought to be scared of this supremacist, homophobic, misogynist, censorious, jew-hating religion. But that's not a phobia. That's not an "unreasonable fear". That's a perfectly valid fear. Just as is the fear of Nazism. 

As Harris Sultan, an ex Muslim, shows. 

Also here. 

The British government is complicit in turning the UK into a Sharia-compliant state. That is what the "islamophobia awareness month" is all about. Shame on them. They are either ignorant or duplicitous. Either knaves or fools. Either way, they cannot, they should not, be excused for their treachery. 

"Take a bow, ICC. You've managed to achieve a feat I previously thought to be impossible... | Erin Molan

... You've usurped the United Nations when it comes to enabling evil, and rewarding terror."

The great

@Erin_Molan

drops the hammer, in a way that only she can.

And even Joe Biden:

U.S. President Biden: "The ICC issuance of arrest warrants against Israeli leaders is outrageous. Let me be clear once again: whatever the ICC might imply, there is no equivalence - none – between Israel and Hamas. We will always stand with Israel against threats to its security."

Islam is closing in on the West. While the West sleeps...

Click above for the video

I feel like I've come full circle. Since I started this blog in 2009, which was to write about the threat of Islam to the West. Hence the name, "Battle of Tours", which was the 732 battle in the French city of Tours, in which Charles Martel defeated the invading Islam armies and saved Europe from a Muslim future. 

And then they were at it again, these votaries of the world's most aggressive proselytising religion. Determined to defeat the West, this time by demographics. Which is already happening. And I noted, fifteen years ago. But people like me who spoke up, who worried, were cast as bigots and islamophobes. 

Yet it continues. 

And challenges the very nature of Free Speech, on which I'm an absolutist. Yet recognise the danger of allowing the free fetter of Islamic radicals to spread their word. To convert the world to Islam. To bring Sharia law to every country in the world. To islamicise all of us. 

It ain't conspiracy. They say it outright.  From the intro to the vid above:

Tzvi Yehezkeli’s story is the stuff of leftist nightmares: A left-leaning Israeli journalist who turns right-wing after decades of toeing the line. His unique style of interview and undercover journalism makes him particularly dangerous to the media narrative.

Yehezkeli is famous in the Jewish state for reporting as an undercover "Muslim," exposing harsh truths to the Western world.

He now joins JNS senior contributing editor Caroline Glick to tell his story and, more importantly, to sound the alarm about the impending Islamist threat. You don't want to miss this eye-opener!

"A snottily superior plea for tolerance” | Shaun Micallef

 “Snotty”? Yes

“Superior”? Yes

“Plea”? Not really

“Tolerance”? No

I’ll get to doing a more detailed break-down of this article, sent in by an Occasional Reader. It’s an Aussie journalist, Shaun Micallef, making a kind of half-arsed attempt at humour cum analysis of why Trump won. So you get where I’m coming from already. Bu there’s more to it than that. 

Meantime, here’s the link to the article in Crikey mag. And the first couple paras:

Wow! I completely misread the room on that one. Mind you, in my defence, I wasn’t actually inthe room. Frankly, the room was too far away for me to even listen at the door and I only had news clips and reports to go off. 

The room was America, and I was in Australia, safe and secure and a little smug about the whole thing. I was convinced, given the gaffes and the gaslighting and the general level of Grand Guignol on display, that there was no way on God’s green earth he was going to win. But then I thought that too in 2016 and was proved resoundingly wrong. 

Why the hell did I trust those clearly biased instincts again? Was it because I’d convinced myself he’d frayed his base since then and things would be even more perilous for him than in 2020?  Read on...

Who let the Doge out? Attacking the Sleep State

Who let the dogs out?

The best of the Trump appointments is Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswami to head a temporary government outfit -- The Department of Government Efficiency -- whose sole purpose is to streamline and improve the Washington civil service, aka "The Deep State". 

This is a wonderful opportunity for change, for improvement and for savings on the massive spending of the government. Which has got to cut spending or go broke. 

I have my own "mini me" experience of this, way back in 1990. Here goes.

Establishment powers in Israel have decided to join the seven-front war against the Jewish state by targeting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. 

In addition to managing the war, the premier will be held in court for seven hours a day in a courthouse unprotected from rocket fire and drone attacks. Sounds crazy? It is. 

Worst of all, the deep state is attacking Netanyahu and the right-wing government on other fronts as well. 

JNS senior contributing editor Caroline Glick breaks it down and gives a full analysis in this episode of In-Focus!

"The Unspoken Grief of Never Becoming a Grandparent" | New York Times

"The Unspoken Grief of Never Becoming a Grandparent" | New York Times

A growing number of Americans are choosing not to have children. Their parents are grappling with what that means for them.

We boomers are facing this now. I know a number of friends in the grandparents age, who have children but will never become grandparents. It's definitely an "unspoken grief"'.

The new Israeli ambassador to the United States is so impressive

Click above for the video.  To return here click ←

Dr. Yechiel Leiter, such a learned man. New Israeli ambassador to the United States. 

And brings this blog a full circle. Fifteen or so years ago when I first posted, it was about Islam and its threat to the world. Which the west had halted in its track across Europe at the Battle of Tours, way back in 732.  That is, the battle of Islam against the west. And now the front of the west is Israel. Which I've been writing about so much over the last year, because of all that's happened since October 7th. 

We can learn a lot about the region, and world affairs from Dr Leiter. From the intro to the vid:

Gabriel Groisman, host of "Standpoint with Gabe Groisman," interviews the recently appointed Israeli ambassador to the United States, Dr. Yechiel Leiter.

They discuss his journey from Scranton, Pa., to the Jewish state, his military service, and the historical context of Israel's political landscape.

A heartfelt tribute is paid to Maj. (res.) Moshe Yedidyah Leiter, the ambassador's son and Groisman’s friend, who lost his life fighting terrorists Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

Trump fun stuff

 Kamala is at a dance party with Beyoncé

Click here

They're eating the dogs; they're eating the cats

Click here

Elon and Donald Stayin' alive

Click here

Anti Trumpers thought these were vids to mock the man. And maybe they were. But even if so, they backfired. For they worked to make Trump cool among young kids. They really did. Heaps of young kids, even young women, danced and voted for Trump. 

If they were anti-Trump, then they backfired as much as the lawfare backfired. Every time a new indictment came out, his numbers went up. 

Every time cats are mentioned, they dance more. Every time he mocks Beyoncé, they dance even more. 

And then I think this: just how goddamed gifted and inventive Americans are. What a treasure. And... it's not many places in the world you can make such fun of the president. Not only get away with it. Be celebrated, go viral. Good on America!

Have I made it clear enough that I'm delighted by the Trump win?

I mean, I thought I had over the recent months, years even. Like the voyage from supporting Bill, Barack, Hillary to supporting Trump. TL;DR: crappy policies delivered by an awful candidate. And Karps about Kamala.

But I still get some correspondence from Occasional Readers, that make me wonder. That perhaps they believe I was on the fence, or perhaps even pro Kamala. 

No. I was not and am not. For some time now I've been a Trump supporter. For reasons that I've set out in various posts over recent months. (Eg above).

By the way, I'm also Philosemitic, aka Judeophilic. Which means a lover of jews. And a lover of Israel. I'm a goy Zionist. That's "goy", with an "o".

There. That's it for today. I support Trump and his team. And love and support Israel and Jews. 

I think we're in for a Golden Age. Of peace and economic growth. Which not even the Dems will be able to gainsay. 

Trump overwhelmingly popular in Israel

Click above for the video

Israelis: 66% support Trump. 17% oppose. 17% don't know. 

Meantime, Netanyahu is popular in Israel, getting over 60% in polls. Despite what the Left in Israel think, which is that he's not popular, because that's what their friends think. No, he's popular in Israel and outside Israel. 

Ending the war in Gaza and Lebanon:

End the war by winning. That's the Trump way. 

End the war by losing. That's the Biden-Harris-Obama way. "Ceasefire". Which = capitulation. 

And the sacking of Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant. For which: Yay! Ruthie Blum talked about this the other day. 

Terror apologists have already flooded the international media with excuses and explanations for Thursday night's "Jodenjacht" (Jew-hunt) in Amsterdam.

However, the evidence shows that the antisemitic attacks were preplanned and coordinated by local Islamist cells. JNS CEO and Jerusalem bureau chief Alex Traiman and Middle East correspondent Josh Hasten tell you what we know so far on the latest episode of "Jerusalem Minute"!

Also, they cover last week’s U.S. elections and what the results mean for Israel; Iran’s response and threats to President-elect Donald Trump; the ongoing war in Lebanon; the "Trump effect" in Qatar and more.

Who has the Biz Cred?

Kamala camp. Those who have Zero days of experience in the business world: Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, Jill Biden, Tim Walz. And many others (Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Bernie Sanders, AOC, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib....).

Trump camp. Those that have founded, owned and run substantial companies: Donald Trump, J D Vance, Usha Vance, Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, Doug Bergum…. And dozens of others. 

I had many scrappy jobs before I became an Australian diplomat, then an Asian business consultant, then a senior-ish corporate guy. Finally founded and ran a business. It was only doing the business that I learned about meeting a monthly salary bill. In my case for 300 staff, each month. 

That’s key. It’s bracing. It teaches you the realities of life. 

I firmly believe that lack of that business experience is a severe lack in any senior job. Let alone the presidency. 

Elon Musk has called a nation "a corporation at the extreme, with a monopoly on violence'. That is, you have to understand how a corporation works to understand how a country works. Even then, it's only part of the story because of the way in which bad incentives infect a country vs a corporation. 

But still, it's a minimum requirement, I reckon. A sine qua non. And the Kamala Kamp had none of it. Good riddance. 

Kamala's final offer

"Vote for me or you get Hitler"

That's it. That's what the final offer of the Kamala team was. Her. Or Hitler. Her.. Hitler. Hitler... her. Her/Hitler. That's the choice. The Kamala choice. 

After they'd tried out "Joy", and "I ain't Joe..." and then "Oh... and also I ain't Trump". In between the projection of "They're weird". And nowhere stopping by "These are my policies". Nah, no policies. 

So We the People (WTP) ask: "Where's the proof? I mean that he's Hitler". 

Kamala: "Look at the rally in New York, in Madison Square Garden. Just like the rally that Nazis had there in 1939. Coincidence?"

WTP: "But there've been dozens of rallies by Democrats in MSG since 1939. And thousands of basketball games. And countless concerts. So I'ma yeah, but nah, on that one". 

Kamala: "Well, what about the fact that in The Atlantic, they have a story of a woman whose cousin has a contact in the White House that says that one time Trump praised Hitler's generals. How about that??"

WTP: "Yes, we saw that. But then Mark Meaddows, who was there in the Oval Office, at the exact time that this was supposed to have been said and he says Trump didn't say anything like that at all. So, again, I'ma gonna be Yeah, but nah, on that one too". 

Kamala: "Still, he's a fascist and you'd better vote for me, or the country will implode". 

WTP: ... 

And.. we're done. That was the offer. To which Americans said "Yeah, but nah". 

AND, ADDED: The Amish in PA voted for the first time. 100% for Trump. What they wanted was just not to be bothered endlessly by government. Which is what the Dem government in PA had done for a few decades. Losing them many farmers. 

The First Family elect

 

Black race hustlers are delusional about felonious Trump | Greg Foreman

For people like professor Eddie Glaude in this video by Greg Foreman, who hammer Trump, if their first charge is that he’s “a 34-time convicted felon”, I would ask them this: “what is the felony that he was convicted of?”

If they answer: “I can’t possible remember all 34 counts”, remind them that it’s actually ONE count, that’s been sliced like salami into 34. So again: “what’s the felony?”.

After all, if it’s a serious felony, like murder, or theft, or robbery, or blackmail, they ought to be able to say so, pretty smartly.

If they say “hush money payment”, you can respond swiftly, “oh no, hush money payments — aka payments for a Non Disclosure Agreement — are common and widespread. They are not illlegal. Even if made to an escort.” And you’d be right. 

If they then retreat to “it was cover up of election related payments” you can again confidently respond “no it wasn’t that either”.

Now, at this point you really need to research yourself just what felonious activity Trump was found guilty of. You can be sure that you’ve lost the Glaudes of the world by this stage. For as Harvard 60-year Law professor, lifetime Democrat, Alan Dershowitz, who has written 25 books on criminal law, admits “I don’t know how to describe the crime”. It’s that complicated. 

My effort: it was an alleged violation of State Electoral Commission guidelines, (a misdemeanour which was in any case past its use-by date) to cover up one of four alleged crimes, which were felonies still within the statute of limitations, which the jury was allowed to pick one or another, any one, and didn’t need to be unanimous. The jury did not have to specify which of any they’d chosen according to Jury Directions which most legal scholars found deeply sketchy. Essentially the judge demanded a guilty verdict, which the jury duly delivered. 

Even left wing stalwarts, like Fareed  Zakaria of CNN said of the case “this would not have been prosecuted if the defendant had had a name other than Trump.”

And that’s called justice? 

What this Glaude character is angry about is that the American electorate, bless their suspicious souls, saw through this confected nonsense and refused to give it any weight. They ignored it.

In essence what Glaude is  demanding is “we worked hard to get those bullshit felonies pinned to Donald Trump, and now you don’t give them any weight? How very dare you?”?

How Charlie Kirk vines up the youth to vote for DJT

 

Click above for the video 

I’ve followed Charlie Kirk, for many months, on his rounds of colleges in the US talking politics to students. I watched as his crowds grew bigger month by month, bigger and bigger. How many were wearing and asking for MAGA hats. You could see the growth in the young vote for Trump before your eyes. Yet many in CNN and MSNBC did not see it because they wouldn’t follow a “far-right YouTuber”. And they still don’t. Every reason but the one in front of their faces: too woke and not focussing on things that mattered for youth: housing, border, crime and opposition to tge war-mongering war-state (used to be the Reps, is now the Dems).

In the clip above Megan talks to Charlie. A pivotal figure in getting out the youth vote for Trump.

From the video intro:

Megyn Kelly is joined by Turning Point USA's Charlie Kirk to talk about his work helping Trump get elected in 2024, the success he had moving the needle with college students, how young men played a crucial role in Trump's election.   

Sunny Hostin claiming racism and sexism of the "uneducated" is why Trump won, the truth about how young people are shifting in Trump's direction, what the next Trump administration will bring for the Department of Education, and Megyn and Charlie get emotional while reflecting on Trump's victory while discussing the incredible challenges he had to overcome during this election from lawfare to assassination attempts, and more. 

Then Megyn Kelly discusses the meltdowns from the Dems and mainstream media as they try to cope with Trump’s comeback victory, one Democratic commentator on CNN saying her party has strayed from common sense, how they seem to have lost their target demographic, Joy Reid and AOC totally missing the point, how the left has lost its common sense and principles and abandoned the “normies” on their side, the left's hypocrisy and inability to accept reality, how we're learning the left never really thought Trump was a fascist or Hitler after all, Charlamagne mad that Harris and Biden have embraced Trump since he's won, how top leftists like Rachel Maddow are completely out of touch with reality, New York Times columnists fear-mongering about what will happen under Trump.

Megyn unveils part two of the biggest losers of the 2024 election including the "White People For Kamala" zoom calls, David Muir and legacy media anchors, Mark Cuban, pollster Allan Lichtman, and more.

Four of the most influential and well-connected guys on the internet*. Discuss why the Dems lost so bad. This is a knowledgable and nuanced discussion about this seismic change in US politics. 

In sum: too judgemental, bad policies, bad candidate. 

Chamath kicks off the talk at 8:28 below. It was a resounding victory for "normalcy".

(4:55) Sacks recaps election night at Mar-a-Lago (8:28) Analyzing the results: how Trump won, why Kamala and the Democratic Party lost (25:55) The failing Democratic coalition, campaign spend disparity, Trump's advantage in earned media (37:59) What mattered most: Policy, Candidate, or Campaign?

Meantime the Dems are not facing what the real issues are. They are pretty much blaming misogyny and racism. Kinda crazy. But I'm not one thinking the GOP and YT influencers should be trying to help the Dems sort out why they lost. Let them stew in their delusions.

Blaming the Jews for their own opression

Random tweet:

The main surprise about Israelis being attacked in Amsterdam is that they should be so naively unaware of the broad global outrage at the 43,000 deaths & vast destruction @Israel has wrought in #Gaza in its disproportionate response to the October 7 #Hamas atrocity. [An X post]

My rewrite. 

The main surprise about Jews being attacked on Kristallnacht in 1938 is that they should be so naively unaware of the broad German outrage at the "stab in the back" by the Jews in the wake how the 1917 German parliamentary peace resolution, leading to vast destruction in Germany by the Jews.

The X post at top is anti-semitism, out and out. Blaming the Jews for thei attacks on them. Though I'm sure the writer would deny it, claiming it's just "criticism of Israel and its policies" -- too harsh, in their view, too "disproportionate".

But what is "disproportionate" in Israel's response? The 40+k number killed in Gaza (a figure baed on the Hamas "Ministry of Health", known for publishing exaggerated data) includes all Hamas terrorists killed, many hiding behind civilians. Like this: 

By most accounts, including the UN, at least half of those 40+k killed are Hamas fighters, the lowest number of civilians killed per combatant in the history of war. 

If Israel really did want to carry out genocide in Gaza, it could have done so and could still do so. It has all the capability to wipe out the entire Gazan population. It does not do so. Instead, at considerable cost to its own soldiers, it warns civilians ahead of time when there is to be an attack on Hamas soldiers. 

If Hamas had the capacity to kill all Jews, it would. It says so in its Charter. Which is specifically genocidal against the Jews. That it does not do so, is simply because they don't have the capacity.

Hence the saying: "If Palestinians laid down their arms, there would be peace; if Israel laid down its arms there would be genocide." 

War is war. You don't fight it to be "proportionate". You fight it to win. You fight it to win, in this case, against a barbaric, totalitarian, medieval, misogynist, homophobic, sectarian, genocidal death cult. 

But no, that's not good enough for the jew-haters. For them war doesn't mean war. It means giving up, capitulating, as soon as you're in front. And siding with the terrorists. 

Musk and Rogan on Free Speech etc..

Click here for the video

So much important stuff covered in this video talk Joe Rogan with Elon Musk. What it meant that Elon bought Twitter, now X. What it would have meant if he had not bought it and if Kamala had won. 

Elon put his arse on the line. If Kamala had won, he stood to lose his companies and even be jailed. That's the crazy world we now live in. Thanks to the Dems. To the Dems. This is not a GOP thing. It's very much a Dem thing. To go after your political rivals, or anyone that disagrees with you, by using the legal system, by weaponising it. 

Two extremely consequential men. Talking world affairs. 

Luxuriating, wallowing, in the Trump Triumph Historic

Just as yesterday I couldn't watch the results coming in, now I know the results I've been luxuriating, wallowing, in the triumph of the comeback. 

A historic comeback. One for the ages. Where Trump wins the White House, the Senate, the House, and the popular vote. That quadrella hasn't been done since the 1980s.

On the other hand....

Kamala: the foregone rewards

A win the other side, for Kamala, would have rewarded bad behaviour. 

Rewarded lying non-stop about Trump and his followers. Rewarded the incessant lawfare against him and his followers, falsely-labelled insurrectionists, and perjury traps. Rewarded for the media being 98% on the side of Kamala-Walz, and for 95% of articles on Trump being negative. Rewarded for trying to kick Trump off the vote at all. Rewarded for restraining Israel from finishing the war against Hamas, because of local politic in Dearborn Michigan. Rewarded for the (highly likely) rigging of the 2020 election. Rewarded for breaking all previous norms, in the name of protecting norms. Rewarded for repeatedly ignoring Supreme Court injunctions. Rewarded for repeated attempts to restrict free speech. Rewarded for Defunding the Police, leading to a spike in crime. Rewarded for opening the southern border to a four-fold increase in illegal immigration and denying and lying about it. Rewarded for calling Trump Hitler. Rewarded for calling his followers Nazis and garbage. 

In short, a Kamala win would have rewarded all this bad action and enabled it to continue and increase. 

That's why I revel on the Trump win. Because he won't do none of the above. That' what I'm betting on. And what a majority of the popular vote are counting on. Because he didn't do it in his first term. 

That's why I hied me to the YouTubes to wallow in triumphalism.

WINNING! What Trump’s Victory Means for America, Israel, and the World | Ruthie Blum

Love me some of that Ruthie Blum! In discussion with Jonathan Tobin.

My kinda woman. Clear eyed, tough, visionary. Anti-appeasion, anti-capitulation.

As for Israel support of Trump. It's always been strong, up to 83% by polling. Which makes sense, given how strongly pro Israel he was in his first term. Republicans are now lock-step pro Israel party. Democrats deeply split in Israel, from lukewarm support (feckless, inconsistent) through to outright anti-Semitic (the Squad, esp Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib and AOC).

I also liked her in this earlier talk with colleague, Mark Regev. Regev I find a bit too much of a two-bob-each-way guy, compared with the robust clarity and toughness of our Ruthie.

Karps about Kamala on the eve of the election

On the eve of the election. 

Though the election has been going on for weeks now, with early voting and absentee ballots. 

Of the two candidates, I really, roooly don't like Kamala Harris. 

Let's recall that until five minutes ago, noone liked Kamala. Not Democrats. Not Independents. And certainly not Republicans. Like: “Please, Kamala, quit…” in the super pro-Left Washington Post.

The Democrats only came to "like" her after she was installed in coup against the sitting president, orchestrated by Obama, Pelosi, Schumer and Kamala herself. Then they decided to "like" her, instantly, because the Party told them to. Via the compliant media, which carried out the propaganda operation, which continues to this day. And that was just hunky-fine for the Left.

The rest of us meanwhile, we non-Dem, continue to find her a risible candidate. 

She's a liar. This is not the worst of the failings, but it's sure clear and up there, obvious and clear. She's lied about every hoax nonsense the Left has pushed since 2016. Russia collusion, Trump saying Nazis are "fine people' (he didn't), January 6 was an insurrection (it wasn't), Joe is "sharp as a tack" (he isn't). And do on.

She's bad on the policy issues. Summed up as: Crime, Border control, Inflation and the Economy. On all of which the electorate is clear. They prefer Trump to Kamala, based on how he did in his first term, vs how she and Joe did in their first term. This is pretty much acknowledged across the parties. The polls show that 79% of Americans think it's "on the wrong track". And large majorities say the trust Trump more on those four issues. 

But the main concerns are these two:

1. Free Speech: she and her running mate are not believers in the First Amendment. If they get back in power, they will go after free speech more than they have already done. Not just to clamp down on free speech, via all sorts of "misinformation and disinformation" laws, but also by weaponising the FBI and CIA to go after social media, as they did before Musk opened up the Twitter Files. 

Which of course brings to mind the way that the FBI and the DOJ have been weaponised to go after Trump and his supporters. This is undeniable and has been acknowledged even by Dem supporters, like the CNN anchor Fareed Zakaria.  

2. The One-Party state: The Biden admin are in the process -- right in front of our eyes --  of stacking illegal immigrants into swing states, giving them all sorts of freebies and giving them fast track to citizenship so they can vote Democrat. They don't even need to be citizens, though, as there's no voter ID law. The figures for numbers shipped in to swing states is on the government website, DHS.gov, so it's no secret. In some states the numbers imported have increased 700%.

As Elon Musk points out this makes the whole of America like California, a one-Party state. I've seen with mine own eyes how California has gone downhill under one party rule of the Democrats. Dirt, filth, crime and inefficiency aside, it's deeply corrupt and the corruption can't be revealed because of the one-party control. 

So: “Vote like your life depends on it”.

I find all this deeply worrying. I lived in a one-party state in the 1970s in China. It's not nice. 

ADDED: “My case against Kamala” by Matt Walsh.

==================

All of the above is not even to mention that Kamala has said she wants to stack the Supreme Court, to do away with the filibuster, to make Puerto Rico a state (which would give two more Dem Senators). 

Or to consider her views on Israel, on which I'm a die-hard Zionist, strong Israel supporter. Trump showed himself a much stronger ally of Israel than Kamala has. As for Ukraine, she wants to keep the war going, to placate the neo-cons, amongst them, Liz Cheney, which Trump wants to "stop the killing". 

So, I'm very much hoping for a Trump win, a landslide if possible -- "too big to rig" -- tomorrow. Though somehow I doubt it will be clean and I doubt that the Dems will accept a Trump win without a severe allergic reaction. Recall that to this day Hillary Clinton still calls Donald Trump's first term election win "illegitimate". So much for "election denial" being something of the Right. 

==================

Voting system:

This business of election denial brings to mind the fact that America now has a mish-mash of 50 different systems that needs to be reformed. The EU holds elections, with paper ballots, and things are decided in one day. The reform needed is simple. Or simple to state, at least. Not so simple to get agreement. Still, here it is:

• Have the voting on One Day only. Election Day. No early voting. 
• Valid photo ID required. 
• Election Day is a holiday. 
• Paper voting, no voting machines. 
• Reduce the absentee vote to those who are overseas. and require a verifiable ID

The fact that the Dems are dead set against any change like this, speaks volumes. They want to continue to be able to cheat. That's it.

Bill Clinton calling for control of illegal immigration

Bill Clinton talks of controlling illegal immigration and deporting then. Gets standing ovation. 

But, you know, it's Trump who's the racist, xenophobe, bigot, for wanting to do the same. The same. 

A team of Avengers on the Trump side!

What a team! What an orchestra. Tulsi, Elon, Nicole, Vivek, JD, JFK Jr. And Trump, the Conductor. The troller in chief. 

For the RFK Jr ad, go straight here.  The woman with the voting ballot paper she fills out as a "first time Trump voter" is Nicole Shanahan, the running mate of RFK Jr before he joined the Trump team. She's a lawyer and venture capitalist herself, ex-wife of Google co-founder Sergei Brin. A Silicon Valley stalwart. (Ex) Member of the anointed Democratic elite. Now joined the GOP.

There's nothing like this on the Democrat side. Where it's all Actors (some "actors"), Rappers and Liz Cheney, neo-con turncoat daughter of the most hated turncoat warmonger Veep in history, Dick Cheney. What a team... not.

Joe wants to "smack Trump in the ass"

What a nasty sneer!

Is this a nice look? Is this Joy? Is this treating all Americans with dignity and respect?

This is who we’re supposed to look up to for moral guidance?

Revolting Joe.
