Why Kamala Harris will lose in November
In a bit of chutzpah worthy of Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris told Americans during a roundtable to be ready for "a Harris administration, together with Joe Biden as the president of the United States." She quickly corrected herself, but by then, Humpty-Dumpty had crashed to the ground.
A day later, talking about jobs and educational programs for military members and their families, Biden said this:
For example, making it easy to carry your professional credentials with you from one state to another when your spouse moves. Harris-Biden administration is going to relaunch that effort and keep pushing further to make it easier for military spouses and veterans to find meaningful careers[.]
What's going on here? Here are some scenarios. Take your pick.
- Biden and Harris are both addle-brained; it's just a matter of degree.
- Joe is scared of Harris and the left generally and didn't dare correct her.
- Joe's wife wears the pants in the family, so he's used to being second.
- Joe was just reading from a script as usual, doing as he's told.
- Joe was afraid of being accused of sexism and/or racism if he corrected Harris.
- Harris thinks she's already in charge and doesn't need to clear anything with the Biden people.
- Harris was admitting what everyone knows: Biden is senile and won't be making decisions in their administration.
- Joe is often confused. He doesn't know where he is, which day it is, whether it's about Iraq or Iran, and so on.
- Joe was predicting who'll be running the show.
- Biden sees Harris as a female Obama and obediently put himself second, which is where he was for eight years. Old habits die hard.
Though you didn't see this admitted on CNN or the rest of them, one key reason Hillary Clinton lost the election is that millions of Americans perceived Clinton, correctly, as an ambitious, heartless, corrupt, arrogant harpy. These attributes are also present in Harris, who is an AA/EOE "twofer" to boot: female and "person of color." The latter is why she got the V.P. spot, despite dropping out after a disastrous campaign for the top position.
Americans absolutely detest arrogant politicians. A "Harris-Biden" or "Biden-Harris" administration is delusional. Forget about polls and other propaganda nonsense on the news, including Fox, claiming that the election will be close. It will be a blowout, because it's about sheer survival. The choice is simple: the rule of law or anarchy. Without blue lives, whom Republicans love and Democrats hate, we are at the mercy of the "mostly peaceful protesters" coddled by the Democrat press. We can't afford the security details Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer have, paid for by taxpayers.
Democrats have done absolutely nothing to disavow the rioting and the looting. On the contrary, there is a widespread and correct perception that they encouraged the mayhem, calculating that it would help elect them. This should boomerang and result in the removal of Nancy Pelosi as House speaker. President Trump will be able to work even more miracles with full congressional support during his second term.
ALL BILLIONAIRES ARE GLOBALIST DEMOCRATS. ALL BILLIONAIRES WANT
AMNESTY AND WIDER OPEN BORDERS. ALL BILLIONAIRES WANT NO CAPS ON IMPORTING
CHEAPER FOREIGN WORKER.
Further, the dubious
choice of Kamala Harris as the vice presidential nominee was made solely
to placate and reassure Wall
Street and the wealthy, as she was viewed by them as being very deferential to
the mega-rich class based on her days in California.
Millionaire Democrat Donor Says Joe Biden Will Be Good for
Wall Street
15 Sep 2020395

A millionaire Democrat donor, who was once listed as a
billionaire by Forbes, says Democrat presidential candidate Joe
Biden will be good for Wall Street in the long run.
Michael
Novogratz, the former Goldman Sachs executive and hedge fund manager, told CNBC in an
interview that while a Biden win against President Donald Trump may initially
drag the market down, Wall Street will stand to benefit.
“I think Biden’s going to win. I
hope Biden wins,” said Novogratz, who now runs an investment firm. “But if he
wins, I think the market will go down, at least initially because he’s going to
raise capital gains tax … he’s going to raise corporate taxes some and he’s
going to raise personal income tax.”
“I think it’s probably
better for the markets [if Biden wins] because the chaos Trump brings
every week, every day just gets tiring,” Novogratz said.
Novogratz donated $200,000
to the Biden Action Fund in June.
Despite endorsements from Sens.
Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Novogratz said Biden and
running mate Sen. Kamala Harris’s (D-CA) platform “sounds a lot more
conservative than the Republican team when you’re talking about their plans.”
“There’s going to be so much
pressure to start redistributing wealth whether it’s paying for college, paying
for loans, if it’s Medicare for All,” Novogratz said. “Those are things the
Democrat Party cares about and there’s going to be pressure and maybe we’re not
going to get all of those but we’ll be heading in that direction. So I don’t
see our deficits miraculously collapsing.”
Biden and
Harris have sought to distance themselves from their large Wall Street backing
in recent weeks. Although Biden blasted Wall Street executives in a town hall
with the AFL-CIO union, a new report
revealed that the former vice president’s campaign has assured Wall
Street donors that his administration will maintain an economic status quo to
their benefit.
This month,
Biden touted Wall
Street’s support for his plan to abolish America’s suburbs by seizing control
of local zoning laws to construct housing developments and multi-family buildings
in neighborhoods. Likewise, Wall Street is fully behind Biden’s
plan to hugely expand legal
immigration levels, beyond already historical highs at 1.2 million green cards
and 1.4 million visa workers a year.
The
Biden-Harris ticket has elated Wall
Street so much that for the first time in a decade, more financial executives
are donating to the Democrat candidates than Republicans, the latest Center for
Responsive Politics analysis reveals.

Biden’s Billionaires
By Steve McCann
Many years ago, while
participating in a voter registration drive, I came upon a grizzled and
disheveled old man sitting in the overgrown and weed-infested yard of his
paint-starved house calming smoking his pipe. Despite his gruff demeanor,
Ully (Ulysses) was very pleasant and loquacious as we talked for over an hour
on topics ranging from the weather to the innate foibles of mankind. It
turned out that he had to leave school after the fourth grade in order to work
in the fields to help support his family and had toiled in a variety of menial
and labor-intensive jobs ever since. Yet, he had a deep and thorough
insight into human nature. Among his comments about the rich and
ostensibly well-educated was: “All the money in the world cain’t buy a fool a
lick of common sense.”
I was reminded of that
observation after reading an article describing the 131 billionaires who are pouring
millions into the coffers of the Democrat party and Joe Biden’s campaign in
their mindless obsession to defeat President Trump in November. Among the
prominent names are Jeff Skoll, a founder of eBay who has contributed $4.5
million; Laurene Powell Jobs of Apple and owner
of The Atlantic magazine has donated $1.2 million,
and Josh Bekenstein, Chairman of Bain
Capital (co-founded by Mitt Romney), $5 million.
Far more Wall Street
financers have also jumped on the Biden/Democrat party bandwagon than are
supporting Donald Trump, whose policies have overwhelmingly revived the economy
after the stagnation of the Obama-Biden years. The tech billionaires, not content to simply
cough up untold millions in direct political contributions, are also funding
massive voter drives, promoting mail-in balloting, creating divisive partisan
news sites, aiding and designing the Democrat party’s digital campaigns and
unabashedly censoring the social media accounts of the Trump campaign and
innumerable conservatives.
The political party they
are gleefully underwriting in order to oust Trump is no longer the party of the
middle and working class (which is now one and the same) but a two-tier
assemblage in which the prey is sleeping with the predator. The witless
wealthy and socially aware are in bed with the avowed socialists and militant
Marxists. What is holding this marriage of convenience together is a
mutual hatred of Donald Trump and the undoable promises made by Joe Biden and
the Democrat party hierarchy.
In a 2019 meeting with
100 super-wealthy potential donors, Biden assured the gathering that he would
not demonize the rich and would only increase their taxes slightly while
ensuring that their standard of living would not be affected by any of his
policies.
He also
stated: “I’m not Bernie Sanders. I don’t think 500 Billionaires are the reason
why we are in trouble”. Further, he unabashedly emphasized that the
wealthy are not the reason for income inequality and “If I win this
nomination. I won’t let you
down. I promise you.”
Further, the dubious
choice of Kamala Harris as the vice presidential nominee was made solely
to placate and reassure Wall
Street and the wealthy, as she was viewed by them as being very deferential to
the mega-rich class based on her days in California.
When the time came to
deal with the Marxist/socialist wing of the Democrat party’s anti-Trump
coalition, policy commitments, many diametrically opposite of what was promised
the wealthy donors, were also guaranteed with a non-verbal pledge of we won’t
let you down.
The first step was a de
facto party platform. The 110-page Biden-Sanders Manifesto which includes,
among other commitments, a massive job killing $2+ trillion climate agenda to
phase out fossil fuel usage within 15 years, the elimination of cash bail,
redirecting (i.e. cutting) funding for the police, dismantling all border
protections, legalizing virtually all illegal immigrants and massively raising
corporate and individual tax rates on the wealthy. This manifesto is a
socialist screed that would destroy the middle class and permanently neuter the
economy and nation.
An effusive Bernie
Sanders proclaimed to the world that Biden and the Democrats have embraced his
socialist agenda and that Biden would be the most progressive president since FDR.
Sanders exposed not only the behind the scenes reality of today’s Democrat
party but Biden’s figurehead role.
Further confirmation of
the radicalization of the Party came about unexpectedly as the militant Marxist
faction of the Sanders coalition forced the issue. Impatient and
unwilling to wait until after the 3rd of November, Antifa and Black Lives
Matter used the death of George Floyd as a pretext to take to the streets and
begin their long-hoped for revolution. They claimed that rioting,
looting, committing arson and attacking law enforcement was a necessity as this
was a systemically racist country. Yet, they openly demanded immediate
changes rooted in their radical Marxist ideology of class warfare not so-called
systemic racism. As two of their preferred chants and graffiti
slogans “eat the rich” and “abolish capitalism now” confirms.
Biden, the Democrat party
hierarchy as well as virtually all Democrat elected officials refused to
address the violence and those responsible. Thus, they tacitly approved
of the lawlessness and by doing so flashed a green light to continue the
riots. When forced to acknowledge the reality on the streets of the
nation’s cities, they instead blamed Trump, the police, white supremacists and
even the Russians. Due to their spinelessness, the armies of anarchy and
revolution Biden and the Democrats unleashed will never be defeated or mollified
by them.
Considering the vast
dichotomy in the litany of promises made and actions taken, it is inevitable
that either the moneyed elite or the mob of passionate true believers will be
betrayed. There is no middle ground. Who will prevail?
Will it be the elites
whose only weapon is money and fleeting political influence or the passionate
mob whose weapons are unconstrained violence and intimidation? Will it be
those who believe a revolution could never happen here or those who are
currently inciting revolution with the implicit blessing of a major political
party? Will it be those who believe that Biden and the Democrats, if
elected, will be able to forcefully deal with the insurgents or the insurgents
who now know that riots and extortion causes Democrat politicians to cower in
the corner?
Beginning with the French
Revolution and throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, history has recorded
that passionate mobs always prevail when dealing with a feckless ruling class
or party. And the first casualties have inevitably been the wealthy
elites.
I can envision sitting
with my old friend, Ully, and asking him if he thought the wealthy elites,
indiscriminately tossing money at the Democrats for the sole purpose of
defeating President Trump, understood the pitfalls involved. He would
lean back, slowly exhale a puff of smoke from his well-worn pipe and with
uncontrollable anger in his eyes would say: “Nope. Those damn fools ain’t
got a lick of common sense.”

Joe Biden Promises Wall Street Donors the Status Quo in Private Calls

3:50
Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden is promising Wall
Street donors the economic status quo that they became used to before President
Donald Trump’s administration, according to a report.
An investment banker on Wall Street told the Washington Post that in
private calls with financial executives two months ago, Biden’s campaign
assured them that talk of populist reforms on the campaign trail was nothing
more than talking points.
The Post reports:
When Joe
Biden released economic recommendations two months ago, they included a few
ideas that worried some powerful bankers: allowing banking at
the post office, for example, and having the Federal Reserve guarantee all
Americans a bank account. [Emphasis added]
But in
private calls with Wall Street leaders, the Biden campaign made it clear those
proposals would not be central to Biden’s agenda.
[Emphasis added]
“They basically said, ‘Listen, this is just an exercise to keep
the Warren people happy, and don’t read too much into it,’” said one investment
banker, referring to liberal supporters of
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). The banker, who spoke on the condition of
anonymity to describe private talks, said that message was conveyed on multiple
calls. [Emphasis added]
In a statement to the Post,
Biden’s campaign downplayed the influence of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) — left populists on trade and economic policy — on
the former vice president’s agenda.
“The Biden-Sanders task forces made recommendations to Vice
President Biden and to the [Democrat National Committee] platform drafting
committee,” Biden spokesperson TJ Ducklo said. “This anonymous source appears
to be confused and uninformed about this very basic distinction.”
The report comes as Biden told AFL-CIO members on Labor Day that
he will be the “strongest labor president” union workers “have ever had.”
“You can be sure you’ll be hearing that word, ‘union,’ plenty of
times when I’m in the White House,” Biden pitched. “The words of a president
matter. Union. We’re going to empower workers and empower unions.”
In the Democrat presidential primary, Biden told a group of rich
Manhattan donors at a private fundraiser that “nothing would change” for them
or their wealthy lifestyles if elected.
“I mean, we may not want to demonize anybody who has made
money,” Biden said at the
June 2019 fundraiser.
“The truth of the matter is, you all, you all know, you all know
in your gut what has to be done. We can disagree in the margins but the truth of
the matter is it’s all within our wheelhouse and nobody has to be punished,”
Biden said. “No one’s standard of living will change, nothing would
fundamentally change.”
Like failed Democrat
presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, Biden has enjoyed a cozy relationship
with Wall Street executives, along with his running mate Sen. Kamala Harris
(D-CA).
Most recently, Biden touted Wall Street’s
support for his plan to abolish America’s suburbs by seizing control of local
zoning laws to construct housing developments and multi-family buildings in
neighborhoods. Likewise, Wall Street is fully behind Biden’s plan
to hugely expand legal
immigration levels, beyond already historical highs at 1.2 million green cards
and 1.4 million visa workers a year.
The Biden-Harris ticket has elated Wall Street
so much that for the first time in a decade, more financial executives are
donating to the Democrat candidates than Republicans, the latest Center for
Responsive Politics analysis reveals.

As Bloomberg
pledges $100 million, Wall Street boosts Biden campaign
By
Patrick Martin
15 September 2020
Billionaire Michael Bloomberg has
pledged to spend at least $100 million to support the campaign of Democratic
presidential candidate Joe Biden in Florida. This announcement Sunday is only
the largest pledge of support from the financial oligarchy for the Democratic
campaign.
Bloomberg aide Kevin Sheekey said
the pledge of virtually unlimited financial backing to Biden in Florida, the
most critical “battleground” state in the 2020 election, “will allow campaign
resources and other Democratic resources to be used in other states, in
particular the state of Pennsylvania.”
Florida has 29 electoral votes,
the most of any closely contested state, following California with 55,
overwhelmingly Democratic, and Texas with 38, leaning Republican. New York
state, also with 29 electoral votes, is heavily Democratic.
Only once in the last 60
years—Bill Clinton in 1992—has a candidate won the presidency while losing
Florida. The last Republican to lose Florida and still win the White House was
Calvin Coolidge in 1924, when the state was lightly populated swampland.
Early voting begins in Florida
September 24, and Bloomberg’s money will pay for massive campaign advertising
on behalf of Biden, in both English and Spanish. Campaign officials said the
funds would be devoted almost entirely to television and digital ads.
Even before the Bloomberg
commitment, the Biden campaign and supporting Democratic groups had outspent
Trump and the Republicans by $42 million to $32 million. The flood of cash from
the billionaire media mogul will give the Democrats a three- or four-to-one
advantage over the final seven weeks of the campaign.
The efficacy of Bloomberg’s huge
financial commitment is open to question. The media billionaire spent $1
billion (a mere one-fiftieth of his gargantuan personal fortune) on his own
pursuit of the Democratic presidential nomination. He launched his campaign at
a time when he believed Biden’s candidacy was near its demise, hoping that his
money might forestall the nomination of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.
The sudden revival of Biden’s
campaign with his victory in South Carolina in February and then in the Super
Tuesday primaries on March 3 led Bloomberg to abandon his own efforts and
endorse the former vice president, since their right-wing views on a range of
topics, and particularly on foreign policy, were virtually identical.
Since then, Bloomberg has
transferred $20 million from his abortive presidential campaign to the
Democratic National Committee, as well as pumping in another $120 million to
local, state and congressional campaigns, making him by far the largest single
backer of the Democratic Party.
Florida is only the most glaring
example of the general trend in the 2020 election, in which the financial
oligarchy and Wall Street have indicated a distinct preference for Biden and
backed it up with heavy financial commitments.
During August, the Biden campaign
broke all records for fundraising in a single month, raking in $365 million,
nearly double the previous record of $203 million set by the campaign of Barack
Obama in September 2008, and more than Hillary Clinton and Trump combined to
raise, in August 2016, $233 million. The Trump campaign also broke the Obama
record, but its total of $210 million in August was far behind the pace set by
the Democrats.
Approximately $205 million of the
$365 million came through online donations, including 1.5 million new donors.
This is more an indication of the widespread hostility to Trump among millions
of working-class and middle-class people than any groundswell of support for
Biden, who personifies the corrupt US political establishment, having spent 36
years in the Senate before his eight years as Obama’s vice president.
That means that $160 million—a
near-record amount by itself—was raised through large donations from wealthy
supporters of the Democratic Party. While Trump continues to rake in the lion’s
share of support from industries such as oil and gas, mining and real estate,
Biden has collected the bulk of financial backing from the banks, hedge funds
and insurance industry.
Under rules set by the Federal
Election Commission, a wealthy donor can now give as much as $830,600 to
support a presidential candidate, routing much of the money through federal and
state party committees rather than the candidate’s own campaign.
The result of the disparity in
fundraising throughout the summer is that the Democratic presidential campaign
has now caught up with and even surpassed Trump’s war chest. The Trump
reelection campaign, despite raising an unprecedented $1.1 billion, has less
cash on hand for the fall than the Biden campaign. According to press accounts,
more than one-third of the money raised by the Trump campaign was used to pay
the expenses of fundraising itself.
There
were several reports last week that the Trump campaign was experiencing a “cash
crunch,” and was unable to sustain advertising in all 15 of the so-called
battleground states. Both the Washington
Post and Bloomberg News reported that Trump campaign manager
Bill Stepien has halted television advertising in Michigan and Pennsylvania at
least temporarily, and that Biden was outspending Trump in nearly every closely
contested state.
Stepien replaced Brad Parscale as
campaign manager in July, at least in part because of concerns that Parscale
had squandered Trump’s substantial initial fundraising advantage.
According to the media tracking
firm Advertising Analytics, the Biden campaign spent $17 million in television
and digital advertising in nine battleground states during the week of
September 3, compared to $4 million by the Trump campaign.
The Clinton campaign outspent
Trump by similar margins in 2016, but Trump campaign aides had boasted they
would not face such a deficit in 2020. Trump has hinted he would seek to make
up the difference from his personal fortune, but there has been no sign yet of
any direct outlay by the billionaire to back his own campaign.
That crazed, manic cackle from Kamala Harris...
We often talk of Joe Biden's diminished mental state, characterized by his inability to hold a thought and tendency to fly off the handle in frustration, but has anyone questioned the similar issues of his running mate?
See for yourself if this encounter with Biden's vice presidential candidate, Kamala Harris, looks normal:
Somebody on her team has got to address the #KamalaCackle. It is such a dealbreaker. pic.twitter.com/AewyLbA3QT
— James Woods (@RealJamesWoods) September 17, 2020
She bursts into a deep, continuous belly laugh on the question of whether children should be going back to school, in two bursts, both inappropriate in their context and unnerving to others as a result. If you heard someone on the bus doing that, you'd move to another seat.
It's not the first time she's done it, either. Here she was on Stephen Colbert's show, asked about her harsh scoring of Biden himself at one of the presidential debates:
Strange extended cackling laughter there, too.
It make one wonder if something is just a little off about her.
What does psychology say about people who burst into inappropriate laughter? According to Wikipedia, what's called "paradoxical laughter" could be a sign of bipolar, mania, hypomania (where a person is in a manic state but is outwardly normal), or schizophrenia. We can probably rule out the last item, but she might be a candidate for one of the two formers. The bipolar spectrum often involves feelings of grandiosity and then deep lows, which wouldn't be utterly surprising for someone in the political arena. It also has roots in mood disorders such as depression — and with Kamala's record of fakery (fake Twitter followers, a curious election that flipped in her favor at the last minute), she might inwardly feel like a fraud. But most people in politics don't slide into episodes of manic laughter as she does.
Whatever it is, and perhaps is none of this, it seems to suggest she's handling the pressure of being a candidate badly. Nobody does that kind of manic laughter without being thought a little off. In her case, it's a particularly disagreeable cackle, which is bound to turn some voters against her even more.
As James Woods points out, it's strange that her handlers haven't said anything. That may well be because she's famously difficult to work with, based on the leaks that came out during her primary campaign, another sign of potential personality disorders.
Does Harris have a mental health issue she's not disclosing? Combined with Joe, whose mental faculties are failing, it's worth it for voters to know. Maybe someone should ask her.
