New York Times Board Wants Kamala Harris
Out of the Race

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 7/22/2024 1:08:05 AM

The New York Times (NYT) 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.

The Dems think this move will stop the black community from voting for Trump. I doubt it. Even if the entire party supports her, they have jumped out of the pan into the fire. She comes across as an AA hire, not a president.

Even most Dems dislike her and by crowning her as Biden's successor with no input from voters, they will like her even less. Her assension will be short lived, so she may as well hop on one of her yellow school busses and head on into the sunset!

What many of us suspected for years, is now exposed. Who really determines the candidates. Trump breaking into the game and people actually voting for him, and not some handpicked Republican loser (Romney, McCain), threw a wrench into the game.

Perhaps the NYT understands that she's part of the dementia subterfuge against the American people? Or could it be that the NYT understands Kamala's Canadian heritage can be a real downside, especially as there's no evidence her parents were ever American citizens when she was born, after which she moved to Canada for her upbringing?

Why is Kamala considered "black" in the first place? She is white skinned, born to an Indian mother and a white skinned slave owning Jamaican father. A "person of color," maybe, based on being half Indian? But JD Vance's wife is 100% Indian, so that upstages Kamala. Oh, for the good old days, when such considerations were never pointed out and didn't matter.

For #13: The old one-drop rule is the reason Kamala is considered black. Her father was observably mixed-race, and he grew up in the Church of England. He is lighter than many Greek and Italian people I know. Every light-skinned black person has both white and black ancestors.

Trump Announces Tariffs on Mexico, Canada, China 9 replies

President Donald Trump on Saturday followed through on his threat to impose tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada, and China in an effort to spur those countries to do more to curb illegal immigration to the U.S. and to stop the flow of illegal drugs. Trump announced that he was imposing 25 percent tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada, though the tariffs on Canadian energy imports will be limited to 10 percent, according to news reports. He also added an additional 10 percent tariff on imports from China. The tariffs are slated to go into effect on Tuesday,

WASHINGTON — The U.S. military has conducted airstrikes against Islamic State operatives in Somalia, the first attacks in the African nation during President Donald Trump’s second term. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Saturday that the strikes by U.S. Africa Command were directed by Trump and coordinated with Somalia’s government. An initial assessment by the Pentagon indicated that “multiple” operatives were killed. The Pentagon said it assessed that no civilians were harmed in the strikes. Trump, in a post on social media, said a senior IS planner and recruits were targeted in the operation.

I haven't seen Chuck Schumer so happy in months. There he was Wednesday, practically ready to burst into song while celebrating the Trump administration's withdrawal of a memo ordering a federal spending freeze. "Americans made their voices heard," Schumer crowed. "Donald Trump rescinded the OMB order." Schumer was too giddy to tell the full story. On Monday, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) directed federal agencies to stop spending money, with exceptions for entitlements, defense, and direct support for individuals, until grants-in-aid programs were aligned with the president's agenda. The document's broad language resulted in confusion.

When White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stepped up the podium in the press room for her first official briefing this past Tuesday, she surely expected to be bombarded with questions about things like the flurry of Executive Orders coming out of the Oval Office and tariffs possibly being levied on China. She likely also expected some inane or out-of-left-field questioning due to the fact that she had welcomed the corporate media to remain part of the White House press corps; she was much more gracious than her predecessor in that respect.

President Donald Trump has been on a tear, since his inauguration on Jan. 20, to fix things and make good on his promises. Democrats in response have been spinning, attacking, and lying about his actions. So, how are the American people reacting to it all? Democrats aren't going to like this very much, because it looks like the American people are getting the reality and rejecting the spin, in a new Emerson poll that's pretty amazing. First, it shows Trump has 49 percent approval, with a net approval across virtually all age groups.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la ... double-down? One might have thought that the Democratic National Committee would have learned a lesson from the 2024 election about the unpopularity of "woke." Joe Biden spent four years promoting DEI policies, and Kamala Harris ran on that as well as her own even more radical notions of 'diversity.' One such brag, a 2019 interview in which Harris took credit for supplying felons with free transsexual therapies while in prison, turned into the most effective message in the election. For Donald Trump.

We have become so used to government actors being malefactors, being lied to, and being pushed around that it becomes natural to suspect that when anything bad happens, somebody is behind it. The truth is, stuff happens. Mistakes are made, and acceptable risks sometimes lead to bad results. Usually, you can smell the stench of bulls**t if you sniff deep enough, and sometimes the BS is hidden enough that it takes a long time to come out. As often as not--more often than not--the term "conspiracy theory" is thrown out to label a perfectly plausible explanation for something as beyond the pale.

Former “Meet the Press” moderator Chuck Todd is leaving NBC News after nearly 18 years at the network. Todd said in a memo to NBC News colleagues that Friday was his last day. He’ll continue doing his podcast and said he’s considering new projects, but offered no details. He joined NBC News as political director in 2007 and was “Meet the Press” moderator from 2014 to 2023, before giving way to Kristen Welker. The role made him one of the more visible journalists in Washington and, as such, an occasional target of President Donald Trump and his supporters.

President Donald Trump’s administration took these steps as his nominee to lead the bureau, Kash Patel, said he would not begin his tenure with retribution or focus on past transgressions. "I have no interest, no desire and will not, if confirmed, go backwards. There will be no politicization at the FBI. There will be no retributive actions taken," Patel said at the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Among them is the Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer in connection with comments regarding Trump’s Supreme Court justices, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh. During a pro-abortion rally back in 2020, Schumer said that the two justices would “pay the price” for overturning Roe vs Wade, a decision that they eventually handed down two years later.

Canada and Mexico’s top leaders blasted President Trump Saturday hours after he imposed a 25% tariff on the neighboring countries — and announced they would retaliate by enforcing their own on the US. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau revealed he and Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo agreed to work together to push back against Trump’s long-awaited taxing program, which he claimed was aimed at halting the influx of drugs into the US. Trump put a 25% tariff on Canadian and Mexican imports, while Chinese products will receive a more modest 10% tariff.

The crew aboard the UH-60 Black Hawk chopper, the 12th Aviation Battalion, is responsible for top-secret evacuation missions meant to whisk top US officials from DC to secure locations in the case of a national emergency such as a terrorist or nuclear attack. In a press conference on Thursday night, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the soldiers “were on a routine, annual re-training of night flights on a standard corridor for a continuity of government mission.”
