Working and middle-class Americans got hit with a double-barreled blast Tuesday night. Kamala Harris fired the first shot during her “closing argument” speech when she insisted that Donald Trump and his supporters want to create a dictatorship to persecute their political opponents. (It’s all projection. Democrats are doing totalitarian things right now!)
The second blast is something Democrats seem to do every four years. Barack Obama called us “bitter Bible clingers.” Hillary called us “deplorables.” Now, Joe Biden said we are “garbage.”
At least with “bitter” and “deplorable” you’re still human. And Hillary was only referring to “half of Trump’s supporters” in her “basket of deplorables.”
But “garbage” is less than human. What do you do with garbage? You dispose of it. You put it in the garbage disposal or the trash can.
Of course, this mindset is what Democrat policies have consistently demonstrated. Innocent preborn children are ‘garbage’ to be disposed of at whim. Some even say the Constitution is ‘trash’ or garbage.
Unfortunately, some well-meaning people believe her when Harris says she will unite the country. They still cling to the idea that all the talk about ‘Nazis’ and ‘garbage’ is just rhetoric and these radicals don’t really mean it. Yes, they do.
The left’s rhetoric about unity is garbage. Their idea of unity means conservatives and Christians surrender.
They’re putting elderly women in prison for exercising their constitutional rights. These women are treated worse than illegal alien drug smugglers coming across our border.
They are prosecuting and bankrupting grandmothers for praying.
They put parents on a potential terrorist watch list. They spied on churches.
They interfered in our elections and censored the truth.
That’s what authoritarians do.
Remember the Covington Catholic students on a trip to Washington, DC? Leading Democrats and the entire American media made them out to be little Nazis. For what? They were just standing at a monument and refused to step aside when a leftist agitator tried to push them around.
The left set out to dehumanize those students and ruin their lives because they’re ‘garbage.’
Anyone who takes their faith seriously is a threat. When pro-life students came to Washington, DC, they were kicked out of a museum. Those students were told exactly the same thing that Kamala Harris told the Christian students at her rally: “You’re not welcome here.”
Remember Kyle Rittenhouse? Leftist pundits and politicians, including ‘Nice Guy’ Joe Biden, viciously smeared him for defending his own life.
So, Harris is accusing Trump of being a dictator, and Joe Biden is calling Middle Americans “garbage,” and both claim to want unity. But the really ‘important news’ that we all need to know about is a joke by a relatively unknown comedian during an hours-long event.
Trump Responds
Donald Trump was speaking to a packed arena in Allentown, Pennsylvania, when he learned about Biden’s “garbage” comment. Responding to Biden’s insult, Trump said:
“Wow! That’s what it says… Remember Hillary? She said ‘deplorable’ and then she said ‘irredeemable.’ That didn’t work out. Garbage, I think, is worse, right?
“But he doesn’t know. Please forgive him. Please forgive him, for he not knoweth what he said… Terrible to say a thing like that, but honestly, he doesn’t know. And I’m convinced he likes me more than he likes Kamala.”
Later, Trump posted this on his Truth Social platform:
“While I am running a campaign of positive solutions to save America, Kamala Harris is running a campaign of hate. She has spent all week comparing her political opponents to the most evil mass murderers in history. Now, on top of everything, Joe Biden calls our supporters ‘garbage.’ You can’t lead America if you don’t love the American People.”
Speaking of responses, Ben Shapiro posted a hilarious response to the left’s hysterical nonsense comparing Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally to a Nazi rally. Watch it here.
The Compromised Candidate
In previous reports, we have documented Tim Walz’s bizarre obsession with communist China. Now, there is a disturbing report that national security officials were also seriously concerned about Walz’s relationship with the Chinese Communist Party.
The House Oversight Committee has demanded information from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regarding Walz’s connections to China. Of course, Biden/Harris administration officials are refusing to comply.
But as Kamala Harris narrowed her running mate choices to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Pennsylvania Gov Josh Shapiro, security analysts became increasingly worried.
Shapiro, who is Jewish, was too risky for Harris, given her struggles with Muslim voters in Michigan and Minnesota. So, she went with the guy who was likely compromised by communist China, setting off alarm bells at the Department of Homeland Security.
On the day Harris announced her selection, a DHS intelligence analyst fired a message warning about Walz. He wrote:
“[Walz] got the Vp. You all have no idea how this feeds into what prc [the People’s Republic of China] has been doing here with him and local [government]. It’s seriously a line of the intel. Target someone who is perceived they can get to DC.”
Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer adds that he also has whistleblower information suggesting that Walz is or was under investigation by DHS for possible connections with the Chinese Communist Party.
We have also learned that Walz was once in a romantic relationship with the daughter of a Chinese Communist Party official. Walz has bragged about how well he was treated in China, and we know that the Chinese communist regime funded his trips to China.
It seems that Gov Walz may have returned the favor. Under his leadership, the state of Minnesota has invested more than $900 million in Chinese funds.
I suppose there could be a perfectly innocent explanation for all this. But I haven’t heard one yet.
Supremes Step In
Yesterday, the Supreme Court stepped in and settled an absurd legal dispute between the Biden administration and the state of Virginia.
When Governor Glenn Youngkin ordered state election officials to purge non-citizens from the voter rolls, the Biden/Harris Justice Department jumped into action and went into federal court seeking to block Youngkin’s order.
To be clear, the Biden/Harris administration was trying to KEEP non-citizens on Virginia’s voter rolls.
The process in Virginia is very clear and very accommodating. The law requiring state officials to clean the voter rolls was signed by then-Governor Tim Kaine, a Democrat, who is now one of the state’s two US senators.
First, individuals are warned that they are missing necessary citizenship data, and they are given a chance to correct it. If they do not respond, they are removed from the voter rolls.
There is an additional safeguard. Virginia allows same-day voter registration. So, if someone can prove their citizenship, they can register and vote on election day.
Thankfully, the justices ruled that Virginia can remove non-citizens from its voter rolls.
But the fact that the justices had to step in at all makes it obvious that the left is 100 per cent committed to making cheating and fraud easier. They fight every effort to guarantee the integrity of our elections.
Early Voting Warnings
Speaking of cheating, there are more troubling incidents around the country regarding early voting, which is supposed to make the process easier.
Val Biancaniello, Republican state committeewoman in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, was arrested this week. Her crime: Telling voters to stay in line and cast their ballots. Election workers in one office were discouraging people from voting and also directing them to another location. But voters there were being told that they were out of forms. Biancaniello was simply encouraging people to stay and vote.
In Bucks County, Pennsylvania, early voting was shut down three hours early. People who had waited for hours were told to go home. Various excuses were offered, such as insufficient staff or supplies, as well as the time needed to process applications.
This is being driven by the people accusing us of wanting to create a dictatorship. They are really annoyed that they have to go through the motions of holding elections every four years to maintain their power.
Don’t forget that they tried to cancel the presidential election in multiple states by ordering Trump’s name off the ballot. If there is only one name on the ballot, the election has been canceled in that state.
When conservatives suggest there might not be another free election, some on our side say, “That’s crazy, and it only hurts our movement.” Well, Democrats tried to do it. They wanted Trump off the ballot or in jail. That’s what dictatorial regimes do.
