Tucker Carlson’s fascinating interview with Elon Musk crosses a wide range of topics, including the 2024 Presidential Election, the use of Starlink for Hurricane Helene victims , Jeffrey Epstein and P. Diddy and even religion.

Kamala’s terrible , horrible, no good , very bad week continued with a 60 Minutes interview, Monday night .To say it didn’t go well is an understatement.
Vice President Cackles could not answer tough questions without going into her usual meanderings. Now a patriot by the name of Maze on X, discovered CBS completely re-edited the interview for You Tube, removing her word salad answer about Israel.
Remember Kamala’s word salad answer about Israel on 60 Minutes? It’s gone.
The Conservative Treehouse reports it took CBS a full 36 hours to upload the interview for YouTube. 36 hours ? 36 hours to upload a broadcast? Obviously it was edited.
Here’s the entire (uploaded ) interview :
Is a touched up interview enough to keep the wheels from falling off the Harris/Walz campaign? I think not.
First, there was that Vice Presidential Debate between Kamala’s running mate , Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Trump’s running mate, Senator J.D. Vance. Vance wiped the floor with Walz who admitted he was a “knucklehead” after failing to address why he lied about visiting Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989.
You know it was a horrible outing for the Dems when the left-leaning Politico started questioning if Walz is hurting the campaign.
Then Hurricane Helene hit, causing widespread destruction in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina. While Kamala left a fundraising event in Las Vegas to fly back to Washington DC for a briefing of the damage, Trump visited hurricane ravaged Valdosta, Georgia.
The Harris/Walz sent out this photo of Kamala trying to appear presidential which … backfired. This meme says it all.
Kamala is trying to FAKE AND STAGE being Presidential, when the photo shows she's talking on a phone that's not plugged in
Meanwhile Trump looking like a real president bringing supplies to Valdosta, Georgia, and North Carolina
Kamala did arrive to survey the damage and announce federal government help. Unfortunately , her announcing the pittance of $750 from FEMA to Hurricane Helene victims made Kamala the face of a government that, more and more people are becoming convinced, doesn’t care about American citizens.
As if this isn’t bad enough for Cackles , President Joe Biden , who many believe was forced to drop out of the Presidential campaign, keeps popping up in inopportune fashion , undermining her efforts to gaslight… er … connect with voters. Maybe Ol Joe’s not as senile as believed.
This is the sole reason Joe Biden came to the press briefing today. To get his revenge on Kamala Harris 👀
“We’re singing from the same song sheet. She helped pass all the laws. She was a major player in everything we’ve done.” pic.twitter.com/lz3P2y6oKv
Finally, there was the show-stopping teleprompter malfunction showing that Kamala is literally speechless without a script.
Meanwhile, Kamala’s media blitz continues. As of this writing, she gave an interview to the Call Her Daddy podcast (excerpt here) and will continue taking hard-hitting , insightful questions from the likes of Steven Colbert and Howard Stern.
Will these appearances stop the damage of Kamala’ s terrible , horrible, no good , very bad week or extend it into a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad month? We have less than thirty days to find out.
Is Tim Walz is feeling the heat from his 30 past visits to China? Walz’s very weird and awkward moment at the Vice Presidential Debate makes voters wonder.
Talk about a show-stopper.
Moderator Margaret Brennan asked Governor Walz why he lied about visiting Tiananmen Square during the protest in 1989. Instead of just copping to it , Walz, instead, vomited out a mea culpa justifying his past visits to China.
His response had nothing to do with the original question, so Brennan pressed him again. And get this, Walz concluded his response with the same lie ! LOL.
From that He learned “what needed to be in governance.” That could be taken a whole number of ways.
Despite the moderators best efforts to put Walz in the best possible light, they simply could not overcome his constant squirrelly movements and weird facial expressions.
If Joe Biden is a walking gaffe machine, Walz and Kamala are meme gold. And Walz may have sunk whatever remaining hopes for Harris/Walz ticket with the following additional verbal miscue.
That’s right, Walz really said he’s become friends with school shooters. President Trump immediately called Walz out with this post on X:
“Second time he has said, ‘I’ve been friends with school shooter.’ What does he mean by this? Is he insane?”
Of course, Walz’s historically bad performance does not take away from J.D. Vance, who did a masterful job with the facts to stymie both Walz and the CBS moderators. Vance was certainly not my first VP choice for Trump, but I have to say I was impressed.
Whereas Walz kept taking notes furiously , looking down or to the side, Vance looked directly into the camera and presented a confident grin or warm smile when listening to Walz’s retorts. Senator Vance’s January 6 response commenting that Trump did , in fact, engage in a peaceful transfer of power on January 20, Biden’s inauguration , was masterful.
Vance’s response flew in the face of the media and Democrat narrative about Trump’s being an existential danger to democracy on J6. It was a unique counter to the media’s demonization of Trump.
Vance then answered that Kamala’s calls for censorship is the bigger threat to Democracy. And speaking of democracy, if I have one gripe about Vance ,Trump and commentators like Tucker Carlson ,to certain degree , is their lack of pushback against this notion of America as a democracy. America was founded as a representative, constitutional republic and it’s high time for that reiteration.
Excuse my rant.
Meanwhile, Walz’s very weird and awkward moment at the Vice Presidential Debate continues the downfall of the flailing Harris/Walz ticket.
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 6:12 (NIV)
I reflected upon the tenacity of Winston Churchill in a previous post and why such leadership is needed now in America.
.
Churchill gave many powerful speeches to galvanize the British during World War II, but one of his most famous is his “We will fight on the beaches,” or “Never Surrender,” speech, delivered on June 4, 1940″ This speech set the tone of British resistance to Nazi Germany throughout the rest of the war.
Since the need for prayer has been weighing on my heart , I thought it would be interesting to continue this call for personal and national prayer in the tone of Churchill’s legendary address . Christians must stand in Christ and resist the darkness engulfing America.
You can compare my piece to the actual speech which I will include after the post. Let me know what you think in the comments below.
First, my post…
I have faith and confidence that if all God-fearing Christians do their duty, if prayer isn’t neglected, we shall prove our worthiness to defend this nation, we shall resolve to defend our home, America, to stand in Christ and resist this onslaught of spiritual war, and to hold against the peril of marxism, indefinitely .
I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty as Bible-believing Christians, if God’s will is sought, and trust in Him is strengthened through faith, we shall prove ourselves to spiritually defend our land of the free and the home of the brave, to ride out the onslaught of spiritual war , and to conquer the menace of tyranny, in Jesus’ name. At this time, this is all we can do. That is the resolve of our King of Kings and Lord of lords’ disciples. This is God’s will, His people seeking Him in prayer in their cause and need, and in their need will defend to the death the gospel and this land given as to us by a loving and Holy God. The Kingdom of heaven linked with repentant man for His glory, and His alone. Even though large institutions of America and Western Civilization have fallen or may fall into the grip of the enemy and the repugnant mechanism of satanic rule, we shall not grow weary and faint.
We shall press in as necessary, we will pray in America ,
we will pray while on rivers and lakes,
we will pray with authority in the air,
we shall defend the nation according to our God-given talents,
we will pray in our cars,
we will pray in our homes,
we will pray in our churches and synagogues,
we will pray in the mountains and deserts;
we will never quit and even if this country were, or a large part of it surrendered to the devil, then our brothers and sisters beyond the oceans , armed with the Holy Spirit and guarded by angels, would continue the struggle, until, in God’s perfect timing, the Gospel of Jesus , in all its glory brings us into eternity , resurrected as new creations in Christ.
***********************
I cannot over-emphasize the dire need for prayer in these perilous times in America and Western Civilization. It is dereliction of duty not to do so
Now, here’s the part of Churchill’s famous speech I honored…
“I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our Island home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone. At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of His Majesty’s Government-every man of them. That is the will of Parliament and the nation. The British Empire and the French Republic, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength. Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail.
We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France,
we shall fight on the seas and oceans,
we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be,
we shall fight on the beaches,
we shall fight on the landing grounds,
we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,
we shall fight in the hills;
we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.”
You can read and listen to the speech in its entirety here.
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Ephesians 6:18 (NIV)
People are waking up to the dangers of communism as they see it playing out in the leftist policies of Democrats, aided by Republicans in name only (RINOs). It’s time for revisiting the 45 Communist Goals for America if you want to understand where we are as a country right now.
Before reading these goals, understand communism did not collapse with the Berlin Wall and / or the fall of the Soviet Union. It remade itself and, therefore, is still a very clear and present danger to America.
This excerpt of the Communist Manifesto was read on the House Floor 61 years ago . What’s all the more amazing, was the reading taking place in a Democrat controlled House of Representatives by a Florida Democrat Congressman!
Could you imagine a Democrat congressperson reading this from the floor today? Today’s Democrat Party is living proof of goal number 15.
Check out these goals and ask yourself the communist success rate.
The Communist Manifesto that was read on the House Floor THE 45 COMMUNIST GOALS AS READ INTO THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD, 1963 Congressional Record–Appendix, pp. A34-A35 January 10, 1963 Current Communist Goals EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Thursday, January 10, 1963 Mr. HERLONG. “Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America. At Mrs. Nordman’s request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following “Current Communist Goals,” which she identifies as an excerpt from “The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen: [From “The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen] CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS
U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
Do away with all loyalty oaths.
Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
Gain control of all student newspapers.
Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”
Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”
Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.
Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”
Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”
Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”
Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture–education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].
Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use [“]united force[“] to solve economic, political or social problems.
Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
Internationalize the Panama Canal.
Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.
The Connally Reservation is the only goal unfulfilled by the communists. Its repeal would mean Americans falling under the jurisdiction of the World Court which would trump the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
America is literally on the ropes and what’s scary is the ignorance of so many to this danger. President Trump gets it, which is why he called Kamala Harris out as a Marxist in their only debate. Trump has rightly called policies of Democrats and RINO’s, communist.
Now do you understand why every institution seems to hate Trump? Do you now understand the dangerous rhetoric of Democrats and their incitement to violence against Trump and MAGA?
If you are not doing so , you need to be on your knees praying for God’s mighty hand against the enemy within. The communists were able to make incredible strides because we were asleep .
We are awake now, without the luxury of time or apathy. To quote Fred Sanford, “This is the big one Elizabeth!” This election is for all the marbles, folks.
America is on the verge of going full communist , with the people losing our God-given rights if the Democrats win the Presidency again. If you think I’m exaggerating , just look at the damage to our rights, culture and economy in four years of Biden and Harris …ahem… “running things”
For example, look at the assaults to the First Amendment and free speech. Think of what you can no longer say except in hushed tones among trusted friends and consider the Democrats and RINOs’ desire to prosecute anyone criticizing elections, policy or politicians, via protest or even memes. Ask yourself: Is this your father’s Democrat Party?
All we can do for now is volunteer, donate and cast our vote in November . Until then, I challenge all of you to pray daily for this country and for the safety of President Trump and his family. Pray also against those who plan election fraud and violence.
I say it again: PRAY! Most importantly , pray according to God’s will.
Pray whatever God places on your heart. However,I believe the time has also come for imprecatory prayers to God . If you’re not familiar with these particular psalms and prayers, please read my previous post.
Finally, I humbly suggest we keep revisiting these 45 communist goals and share them with as many people you can think of. I also encourage you to read The Naked Communistby W. Cleon Skousen . Knowing the enemy is first step of defeating them
I have found myself thinking a lot about Winston Churchill and his “Never Give In” speech. Listening to it speaks also to our times.
I invite you to listen to the speech in its entirety, since it’s just over four minutes. Listen carefully and disregard the close caption.
The enemy within believes the best days of America are behind us. These forces have infiltrated our politics, local, state and federal governments, corporations, education, law, the military and entertainment. They believe they are winning.
We who support freedom of speech, the right to bear arms , freedom of religion and the right of free assembly are called MAGA extremists. Our standard bearer is branded an existential threat to democracy because he threatens the power of those who hate us, patriotic Americans.
As long as we live and breathe we are not defeated. These are exciting days and we are blessed to be alive right now.
We are Americans and it’s in our DNA to hate tyranny. Stand strong and have faith because God is on our side. Never give in.
I’ll say it again, pray for President Trump and America after this second assassination attempt at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. Praise God that President Trump is ok and the suspected shooter is in custody.
Law enforcement has identified Ryan Wesley Routh, 58 as the would-be assassin. He was approximately 300 to 500 yards away from President Trump , hiding in shrubbery with an scoped AK-47 style rifle, according to law enforcement officials.
Secret Service agents were one to two holes ahead of President Trump when they spotted the muzzle of the rifle protruding through a chainlink fence. Routh fled the scene after Secret Service opened fire. Cops found the rifle, two backpacks full of ceramic plating and a go-pro camera.
Courtesy: The Conservative TreehouseCourtesy: Gateway Pundit
Palm Beach Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said a witness helped to ID Routh and his vehicle, “Fortunately, we were able to locate a witness that came to us and said, “Hey, I saw the guy running out of the bushes, he jumped into a black Nissan, and I took a picture of the vehicle and the tags, which was great.” Said the Secret Service agent who spotted this and opened fire did a “fantastic job.”
Martin County Sheriff’s office spotted Routh’s vehicle, detained him and then took him into custody. According to the Associated Press (AP) , Routh’s demeanor was calm and flat, with little emotion.
According to internet reports, Routh, a construction worker, said in a series of X posts that he fought in Ukraine in 2022. He also posted efforts to recruit soldiers to fight for Ukraine.
Obviously this story is developing.
What’s the reaction of the media and Democrats you ask?
MSNBC blames Trump’s “violent rhetoric” for stoking the attempt on his life. Rather than condemning the violence, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries wrote on X a diatribe about the defunct Project 2025 and the prospect of a national abortion ban .
He wrote:
Extreme MAGA Republicans are the party of a national abortion ban and Trump’s Project 2025.
And they accuse Republicans of extremist language.
Meanwhile, steel yourselves, it’s going to get crazier until November. The forces that want to stop Trump are desperate and any number of things could happen.
Let’s take a moment what’s to review the state of things: Two assassination attempts against President Trump , The threat of World War 3 with the Israeli -Hamas War and Russia -Ukraine War, (Monkeypox, Bird Flu and resurgent Covid ) pandemic fears, military- aged men from multiple countries entering through the southern border, dangerous rhetoric from Democrats and RINOs calling Trump a threat to democracy, cyber attacks, and the threat of economic collapse. All of this while we have a senile president , an incompetent vice president and the people wondering, who is running the country?
In a previous post, I called for all hands in prayer. I hope you are doing so and if not, I encourage you to start when you finish this post.
Please pray for God’s continued protection over President Trump and his family. Please pray for America that we would return to a fear of God and repent of the idols we have worshipped instead.
Ask Jesus for discernment to determine good from evil. Hate evil and pray for our enemies that they would know Jesus as Lord and Savior. Offer to the Lord all kinds of prayers including imprecatory ones if God places it on your heart.
I say also praise God for His revealing the evil ensconced in the levers of power and influence in America and the West. The beginning of their end is people becoming aware of what are facing. This is spiritual warfare which can only be fought ,through our prayers, by God.
Let us remember that God is control, and as Christians, He works all things for our greater good. What is meant for evil , He will use for good. May we rest in this confidence of His power, especially in these next few months and beyond.
Kamala’s word salad returns in her first interview since her surprising debate performance. The interview with the Philadelphia ABC affiliate took a very familiar turn after a simple question.
ABC 6 ran the full unedited interview . This, after bias charges brought against the network news in the aftermath of last week’s Presidential Debate.
What’s patently clear is Kamala isn’t ready for prime time. She does not have the ability to answer even the most softball question without a confusing mix of cliches and platitudes. Without a teleprompter, she flails in desperate search for a coherent thought.
How can anyone think Kamala is capable of leading the free world? Can you imagine this half-wit dealing with Vladimir Putin or Xi Jinping?
Kamala’s word salad returns and honestly, is anyone surprised? That’s the Kamala we know, not the over-rehearsed, posturing vessel attempting to gaslight voters at last week’s debate.
VP Harris is merely a younger version of Joe Biden with the same prerequisites : a cognitively deficient, but malleable figurehead. But hey…she sure looked better than Trump in that debate, huh?
Like you, I was livid over the flagrant bias in the recent Presidential debate between President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. But now it’s like , relax…one debate does not a presidency make.
Sure, the coaching Kamala received paid off. She played the part of calm and measured leader as Moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis kept Trump on the defensive.
They failed!
Kamala may have won the debate, according to giddy liberal and RINO pundits, but Trump is winning the people’s confidence.
For instance, Reuters interviewed 10 undecided people before the start of the debate. And Get this … six people became Trump supporters afterward , with three saying they would back Harris with one still undecided. That’s a two to one shift .
A post-debate CNN flash poll also revealed a shocking counter to the pundits’ glowing Kamala reviews. Debate watchers gave Trump a 20 point lead over Harris over who could better handle the economy, a 23 point advantage for Trump on immigration, and a six point edge of confidence to handling the role of Commander-in-Chief.
CNN Flash Poll result
Even though the CNN flash poll showed Harris winning the debate, voters trust Trump more with the economy, immigration and carrying out the duties of Commander-in-Chief.
Boom!
ABC News is also feeling the backlash over the flagrant bias of Moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis. Online reports show the pair fact-checked Trump seven times, compared to zero for Kamala. They even stayed silent when Kamala regurgitated the Charlottesville “very fine people” hoax which was even debunked by the left-leaning Snopes.
ABC pulled out the stops to help Kamala, but sacrificed its already fading credibility in the eyes of viewers. The bias was so bad even Megyn Kelly had to call it out. This is rich, since Kelly tried to sandbag Trump, as a Fox News moderator, during the first 2015 Presidential Primary Debate.
While anything can happen in the remaining days before November, this campaign cycle is different. People are caring less about the winner of a debate and more about the candidate who can make their lives better.
In what may be the only debate of the 2024 Presidential Campaign, Vice President Kamala Harris beat the odds, showing up poised and well -rehearsed, while President Donald Trump debated not only her , but the two moderators. Did Kamala get by with a little help from her friends?
The mission for ABC News moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis seemed to be putting Trump on the defensive . When he punched back, they tried to fact -check and dismiss him as if he were some angry old man. Did it work?
ABC Moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis
Maybe it worked to a certain degree, since Trump was clearly annoyed and wasn’t his usual zinger-slinging self. Kamala , on the other hand wasn’t her usual word-salad, cliche-laden , cackling self, which actually stood out more.
Kamala portrayed herself as measured and thoughtful; two traits never usually associated with her. As the debate went on, her supposed humble confidence became condescendingly smug .
I commented to some friends, either she was given the debate questions or the moderators were given a heads-up about the talking points she rehearsed for the past two weeks. She was weirdly too smooth.
It was like the D student who suddenly aces his chemistry final. Everyone wonders ,”Did he suddenly get smart or did he find a way to cheat?”
Harris, known for her cackle , redundant aphorisms and reputation for not being the brightest person in the room, is suddenly articulate, no-nonsense and , dare I say, knowledgable? Perhaps she had a little help from her friends, Muir and Davis?
The two moderators fact-checked Trump on his comments of Haitian immigrants eating Ohio residents’ cats and dogs ,the 2020 Presidential results and Democrat stances regarding late term abortions. Yet when Harris alluded to Trump insulting U.S. soldiers with the debunked “suckers and losers” line and smearing him with the equally debunked Charlottesville “very fine people” on both sides, not a peep from the fake news representatives.
Is anyone truly surprised by the bias? It’s like a dog’s relationship with a tree : symbiotic.
Despite their efforts to dismiss Trump as angry, He always managed to get the last word. That’s presidential. There were several instances where Kamala was looking to the moderators to bail her out. That’s not presidential.
Not sure most Americans are buying the gaslight. Will one debate change this presidential race? We’ll see if Kamala gets a post-debate bounce, since she did not get one after the Democrat National Convention.
That’s something to keep in mind, most Americans do not like Harris. She comes off as fake and condescending .
Vice President Kamala Harris
.
I don’t believe the Dem spin, which we will have to endure for the next week or so, will move the needle much either. This weekend’s polls will determine whether my prediction is right or wrong.
However, I think the biggest factor retarding any Harris gains is a topic not covered in the debate or mentioned at the DNC. That topic was the assassination attempt against President Trump.
That the Democrats never acknowledged or even thanked whatever god they worship for Trump’s survival , speaks more loudly than any biased debate question. Such an omission is exhibit A of their incivility, and win at all costs mentality.
The left wants that incident down the memory hole , but it won’t work. Trump’s survival formed an indelible bond with voters on both sides of the aisle.
Trump spilled his blood for this country, while Kamala crammed a passable debate performance with a little help from her friends. What do you think voters will remember?
