Kamala Harris Utilizing Barack Obama Team In Her Presidential Campaign

admin Leave a comment

Kamala Harris is utilizing the people who helped Barack Obama in his election campaign in 2008, and helped him in his Presidency.

This includes David Plouffe, Stephanie Cutter, Mitch Stewart, and David Binder, and with Jennifer Palmieri becoming an adviser to Harris’s husband, Douglas Emhoff, who would become “First Gentleman”, if his wife is elected President.

Additionally, some staff who worked in the Hillary Clinton Presidential campaign in 2016 will join the team in an effort to bolster the Harris Presidential effort.

These are promising steps forward in the Harris Presidential campaign!

JD Vance Joins Controversial List Of Republican Vice Presidential Candidates!

admin 6 Comments

The Republican Party is infamous for selecting controversial Vice Presidential candidates, and some of them end up elected and become true disasters.

This history goes back to Richard Nixon being selected by Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1952, as Nixon was a promoter of the “Red Scare” even before the nation heard of Wisconsin Senator Joseph McCarthy. While Nixon ended up having some positive aspects to his later Presidency, he was involved in the Watergate Scandal, leading to his resignation in 1974, but thank goodness with Gerald Ford as his successor.

Richard Nixon selected Spiro Agnew as his Vice President in 1968, and Agnew became extremely controversial in that office over nearly five years, coming to be known as “Nixon’s Nixon”, until he was forced out in 1973 for corruption charges, resigning and saving the nation from his potential Presidency.

George H. W. Bush selected Dan Quayle as his Vice President in 1988, and the nation had to pray for Bush’s good health, as Quayle came across as not very bright, amid concern that despite his ignorance and stupidity, that he might become President.

John McCain selected Sarah Palin as his Vice Presidential nominee in 2008, but the nation was saved from this ignorant, not very bright, and divisive woman being a heartbeat away when Barack Obama won the Presidency over McCain.

And now, we have JD Vance in 2024, who is a “chameleon”, who has changed his views on Donald Trump, and now can be seen as a threat, based on his lies and deception, if Trump becomes President, and cannot finish his term. Vance’s right wing leanings connect him to the evils of the John Birch Society.

Vance is a backer of Project 2025, and wrote the preface for this 922 page document, and must be seen as “a clear and present danger” to American democracy and the rule of law!

Donald Trump Implodes At Black Journalists’ Gathering In Chicago

admin 12 Comments

Donald Trump shocked the National Association of Black Journalists Convention in Chicago yesterday, with his unhinged behavior towards the three black women journalists who questioned him about his stands on race, and on his Vice Presidential runningmate, JD Vance.

Trump was nasty and abusive in his utterances about Kamala Harris, accusing her of claiming to be Black when he asserted, wrongfully, that all along, she identified as Asian Indian in ethnicity.

The concept of Harris being “mixed race” is not something that should cause controversy, as 10.2 percent of the population in the 2020 Census self-identified as such.

That has nothing to do with Harris’s qualifications to be President, but once again, Trump played the “race card”, as he always has done for many years.

Supposedly, Trump was trying to gain Black support for his Presidential candidacy, but his outragous behavior does not promote such gains.

Trump’s claim to be the best President for Black Americans since Abraham Lincoln is preposterous, ridulous, and insulting!

It is clear that Donald Trump is terrified of the growing support for Kamala Harris, and is unable to figure out how to attack her, except by personal and racist insults.

His racism and misogyny are beyond the pale, and it makes one wonder why anyone with any intelligence would still support him for President!

Public Opinion Polls Show Surge Toward Kamala Harris!

admin 7 Comments

In just ten days since Joe Biden withdrew and Kamala Harris entered the Democratic Presidential race, public opinion polls show a great surge to Harris in all of the “swing states”.

The seven “swing states” include:

Pennsylvania
Michigan
Wisconsin
Arizona
Georgia
Nevada
North Carolina

All seven show Harris ahead of where Biden was, and leading Donald Trump or within the “margin of error”.

Fundraising has been massive, and Harris had a raucous crowd of 10,000 in Atlanta on Tuesday evening.

And for those who did not realize it: Kamala Harris is quite charismatic and dynamic as a speaker, and her smile and optimism ring true, demonstrating that she has been underrated, just like Joe Biden was in 2020!

Biden’s Supreme Court Reform Proposal A Great Idea For Long Term!

admin Leave a comment

Joe Biden’s Supreme Court Reform Proposal makes sense for the future.

Eigthteen years should be the term for future members of the Court, with two new appointments for every future President in each four year term.

The idea of Justices staying in office at advanced years is something that should be prevented for the future.

At the same time, it is not possible to limit the number of years of present members of the Court.

But adding more members to the Court is perfectly sensible until and when the present membership of the Court retires.

The idea that one party should constantly control and dominate the Supreme Court is reprehensible, as it should a Court based on the vote of the people as to who they want for the Presidency.

Some sense of political party balance is essential for the Supreme Court to overcome the horrible reputation it has presently, the worst ever in modern history!

And Biden’s proposal for a binding ethics code for the Court and its membership is urgent, after the revelations of the corruption of Clarence Thomas in particular!

Should Kamala Harris Go “Radical”, Or Stay Safe In VP Selection?

admin 37 Comments

With the controversial JD Vance making waves in a negative way, and undermining Donald Trump, the question arises, with about a week until the decision on the Vice Presidential nominee for Kamala Harris, whether Harris should go “radical”, or stay safe in her selection.

If Harris were to choose to go “radical”, then Gretchen Whitmer, Governor of Michigan or Pete Buttigieg, Secretary of Transportation, will be selected, as choosing a woman or a gay male would be seen as “radical”.

A less “radical choice” would be Josh Shapiro, Governor of Pennsylvania, or JB Pritzker, Governor of Illinois, as both are Jewish, and already with a potential Jewish First Gentleman Douglas Emhoff.

If Harris chooses to go traditionally, then the choice would be among Roy Cooper, Governor of North Carolina; Andy Beshear, Governor of Kentucky; Tim Walz, Governor of Minnesota; or Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona.

There is also the issue of age, as Kelly, Walz, and Cooper are older than Harris, and Pritzker is only months younger, while Buttigieg, Beshear, Shapiro, and Whitmer are much younger, so any of them could be Presidential material after serving as VP under Harris.

Growing Threats Of Violence And Dictatorship By Donald Trump

admin 4 Comments

Donald Trump clearly has not become more reasonable as a result of the attempted assassination on July 13, and he brags about not being “nicer”.

Trump is being more vicious and violent in his language at his campaign rallies, and is again promoting the idea that once this election takes place in November, there will be no need for any further elections, as a dictatorship will be established by his victory.

His rally crowds cheer him on, an unnerving spectacle, and JD Vance only makes it worse with his attacks on “cat ladies without children” and his otherwise incendiary rhetoric, that makes clear he is trying to be the next generation of Donald Trump, a man he once loathed!

So no one who believes in American democracy, the Constitution, and the rule of law can sit on the sidelines in this upcoming Presidential and Congressional Elections of 2024!

Kevin Roberts, Leonard Leo, Harlan Crow—Dangers To American Democracy And Rule Of Law!

admin 4 Comments

The extreme Right Wing is in full bloom, with The Federalist Society and The Heritage Foundation on an extensive campaign to promote Project 2025, with its emphasis on revolutionary change to American government and society, with an emphasis on advocacy of white Christian Nationalism.

Kevin Roberts, the head of The Heritage Foundation has openly declared war, drawing attention to the evil plans of Project 2025, which this author and blogger has dissected in the past couple of weeks.

Leonard Leo has been engaged in promotion of an extreme right wing judiciary, including the Supreme Court.

Harlan Crow has corrupted Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas through gifts and favors for decades, creating a crisis for the Supreme Court reputation.

These men are super wealthy and represent a threat to the survival of American democracy and the rule of law. They will stop at nothing to impose their extremist views on America.

So this upcoming Presidential and Congressional elections are a battle for the future of America, more important than any election in close to a century!

Republican Personal Attacks On Kamala Harris Backfiring!

admin 1 Comment

Donald Trump and the entire Republican Party are utilizing personal attacks on Kamala Harris, as they did on Barack Obama in 2008 and throughout his Presidency.

It is totally disgusting that Republicans mispronounce her name; say she is a “DEI” candidate; and ridicule the fact that she laughs heartily.

This is backfiring, as already, it is clear that it is alienating large numbers of women; drawing growing support of minorities who were not enthusiastic about Joe Biden running for reelection;and exciting younger voters who might have tuned out, due to “two old guys” competing in a second round running for President.

Instead, now that Donald Trump is the lone “old guy” in the Presidential race, suddenly the enthusiasm that Trump thought he had built up by picking Ohio Senator JD Vance as his running mate, has disintegrated with Vance’s attack on what he calls “cat ladies” who remain single and have no “skin in the game” of America’s future, an outrageous utterance!

The momentum of this Presidential race is changing rapidly in favor of Kamala Harris, as she aims to be the first mixed race woman President, another step forward after Barack Obama became the first African American President!

Joe Biden Exit Speech Brings Up Age Issue For Future

admin 4 Comments

President Joe Biden gave a dignified, principled speech about his exit from the Presidential race last night.

However, it was sad to realize that his voice was weak, and that he seems to have far less energy and drive than one has seen in a public speech of a President in decades.

While every human being is different, it seems clear that no one in the future who is past the early 70s should be permitted to run for President.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who left office at 70 years and 3 months, at the time the oldest person to be President, made the statement that no one older than he was as he left office, should be President. That statement was ignored, but makes a lot of sense in retrospect.

Of course, there cannot be a formal age limit to run for the Presidency, as it would be perceived as “ageism”.

But after having Ronald Reagan, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden all demonstrating signs of decline in their Presidencies, and since in the case of Donald Trump, it would be wise to work to avoid anyone reaching 70 from having the advantage to run for the Presidency.

Let us not forget that Bob Dole and John McCain were also in their 70s when they ran for the Presidency, and that we still have a number of very advanced age Senators and Congressmen, and even Supreme Court Justices, but the need long term for younger leadership is essential!
