Am I still a conservative? Yes, but the traditional definition of conservative, not the current one. Ronald Reagan, not Donald Trump. Anti-authoritarianism.

@elonmusk One was murdered by a deranged nut, the other was a sanctioned murder by government agents. Quite a difference @elonmusk.

@PubliusTX You're right about that.

One Insulting, Sappy Harris Speech

Who would have thought that Harris all this time, over the last three and a half years, was not really an incumbent, but instead simply a fresh new and relatively unknown face (“Forward!”)?

Did anyone know that the “newcomer” Harris always has been a pro-Israel hawk, a pro-defense budget hawk, a crime fighterhawk, and (along with Tim Walz) a China hawk? And even an Iran hawk, no less?

(Did Harris simply ask her staff to find the 10 most important issues in the polls, and then find Trump’s positions on them, and then simply appropriate his?)

But her most shameless moment was her transmogrification into a border hawk—this from the co-architect of a destroyed border that has let in 10-million illegal aliens who have wrecked the budgets of dozens of big cities and who are complicit in the importation of fentanyl that kills 100,000 Americans and have fueled a violent crime wave.

Apparently, we, the people, whom Harris thinks are clueless, stupid, and amnesiac, must never ask her,

“When have you ever before said or supported such things?

And why did you not say or do such things when you were the second most powerful person in the United States over the last four years?

And since you are currently still Vice President serving a debilitated and vanished President, why not do all of these things right now—given you have almost six months left on your term?"

And who, contra Harris’s allegations, would have ever thought that Trump was responsible for Putin invading Ukraine when his administration (2017-2020) was the only one in four over twenty years (2004-2024) in which Putin never invaded a foreign country?

So, rarely have we seen such a narcissistic and hypocritical rant as Harris’s acceptance speech.

She, like most of the convention’s speakers, introduced herself to us with the anticipated victim “story” and “journey” (as if no one else in America has had a uniquely challenging story and uniquely good parents). (And haven’t we been told almost every detail of the Harris story previously by her sister, by her husband, and by herself?)

She lectured us on the dangers of Trump who, she lied,  supposedly sent an “armed mob” to the Capitol (not a single one of the hundreds arrested in the Capitol was found to be carrying a firearm). In truth, Trump had no relationship with Project 2025 as she alleged.

Then she claimed that Trump tried to bail out/release these supposedly dangerous rioters—this from the rebel rouser who tweeted out appeals to bail out immediately violent rioters arrested in the looting and arson of Minneapolis, May 2020.

Talk about incitement!

All this comes from the firebrand who shouted on national television that the already violent rioters in Washington DC should not stop (“They’re not going to stop, and everyone, beware. Because they’re not going to stop. They’re not going to stop before election day in November, and they are not going to stop after election day. And everyone should take note of that on both levels.”).

As for our future, she said nothing about her previous support for “snatching” patents, her mandatory buybacks of guns, her prior opposition to fracking, abolishing ICE, single-payer only government health care, price controls, fining corporations over gender equity, raising corporate tax rates, a wealth tax, a tax on unearned gains, and packing the court.

What happened to those once vibrant advocacies?

As for abortion, Donald Trump was pilloried in the primaries by conservatives for being too liberal on the issue.

He always said leave it up to the states in accordance with Roe vs. Wade; no ban on abortion in instances of rape and incest; but a ban on late-term, partial-birth abortions in which a baby’s life is ended as it enters the world. He has never supported a national abortion ban, nor copied Project 2025’s abortion views.

Finally, I think we might wish to adjust this nonstop euphemistic mantra of “reproductive rights”.

No one is suggesting that women do not have absolute freedom to “reproduce” and be “reproductive”.

Instead, abortion is about “de-productive rights”,  or the argument over ending a life and even a life that is often self-sustaining apart from the mother’s womb.

In a nation with a 1.6 and falling fertility rate, over a million abortions performed in 2023, an ethos of childlessness, and laws that let the people of each state vote on abortion, it seems Democratic “weird” to keep fixating on and calling endemic, unbridled de-production as dangerous restrictions on reproduction.

@kylenabecker @X Let us not forget the last time Kamala tried to be president.

[Victor Davis Hanson @VDHanson]

Animal Farm Democrats

Leftists make up things as they go along, as yesterday’s heresies (e.g., Biden seems demented) become today’s orthodoxies (e.g. Biden really is demented)—depending on the current party directive about what is most advantageous.

So many of the Democrats current dilemmas are self-inflicted— a result of their often illegal and always unethical efforts to warp democracy that boomerang upon them and remind us that hubris really does earn nemesis.

Note that there would never have been any presidential immunity suit before the Supreme Court had the Biden administration just not orchestrated local, state, and federal prosecutors to neuter Trump, Joe Biden’s 2024 presidential opponent.

That current lawfare effort marked the third sequential attempt to sabotage a political opponent’s campaign—following Hillary’s 2016 Russian “collusion”/Steele “dossier” scam, and Joe’s 2020 Russian “disinformation”/ “51 intelligence authorities” ruse.

In other words, had Nathan Wade not synchronized with the White House counsel’s office, had Merrick Garland not had his third-ranking federal prosecutor take over the Manhattan prosecution from the incompetent Alvin Bragg, and had not Garland picked the biased and previously failed special counsel Jack Smith to hound and rush to judgement Trump, the question of presidential immunity from Biden’s orchestrated lawfare would have never come up before the court.

The leftwing panic over Biden’s cognitive decline in the debate is not because he is clearly unable to fulfill the duties of a president (is there any other job in America that Joe Biden could perform other than being in charge of the nuclear codes?), and thus might injure the country. The hysteria instead arises solely because he might lose the Democrats power, either by losing the election—or by winning it, then crashing, and passing the country off into the hands of a cackling Kamala Harris.

Joe Biden should rejoice over the Supreme Court immunity ruling. After all, as president he knowingly and unlawfully kept classified files in his numerous private residences. He only came forward in fear—after siccing a special counsel after Trump for the same alleged crimes—that someone might ask whether Joe himself had such files.

Remember also that Biden’s ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer was illegally given access to the files by Biden, and then in Hillary-style defied a federal subpoena by destroying taped evidence of such breaches—and with complete impunity.

Had the Democrats not gone berserk when Robert Hur found Biden indictable, save for his cognitive decline that would supposedly win him sympathy from a nullifying jury, and instead simply had agreed that Joe was near senile, and thus should have been indicted, then they would have had months and a real primary to have selected a living, breathing candidate.

Given the Harris dilemma—will any future presidential candidate ever again demagogue before the convention by boasting that he would pick his VP running-mate on the basis of race and gender (unless he is an incumbent facing conviction and removal, and thus envisions a mediocre VP candidate as an insurance policy)?

Why after years of the left caricaturing the Trump orange dermis, did an ashen Joe Biden reemerge bright Trumpian orange after his disastrous debate? Will any leftist ever again caricature the Trump tan that apparently now has offered a model of recovery for an in-extremis pallid Biden? Will this start a trend—emerge after a disastrous performance bright orange to reassure the nation you are A-Ok?

How could Chuck Schumer now grandstand and seriously say anything about Supreme Court decorum? In 2020 at the head of a frenzied pro-abortion throng, he threatented two justices by name and implied violence upon their persons? (“I want to tell you Gorsuch. I want to tell you Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you”)?

Months later protestors, showed up illegally—but exempt from arrest given the conservative targets of their intimidation—at the homes of the justices, among them a would-be assassin.

The more Democrats grow hysterical, thrash about, and connive, all the more so they self-destruct.

NEW: Per law enforcement sources, the Haitian migrant who was charged with raping a 15-year-old girl at a migrant hotel outside of Boston in March was released from local custody yesterday after the Plymouth Superior Court gave him a low $500 bond & ignored ICE’s detainer request to hold him. I’m told ICE is currently trying to find and arrest this alleged child rapist right now - and that if he is wearing any GPS monitor as part of release conditions, the local/state jurisdictions don’t provide any information to ICE due to sanctuary policies in Massachusetts.

As we previously reported, Haitian National Cory Alvarez came into the U.S. lawfully via the Biden administration’s controversial CHNV parole program in June 2023. He flew directly into JFK airport - and was supposed to be with a sponsor in New Jersey, but somehow ended up in a migrant hotel in Rockland, MA, where he was arrested for the rape of the teen girl was and indicted by a grand jury in May.

Biden just dismissed compassion and concern for a murdered woman because women also are raped. Ew. #CNNDebate #Debates2024

Also, thanks for mentioning that Trump went to the funeral and you didn't, weirdo.

@nytopinion The NY Times would have allowed Hitler to write an OpEd in September 1944 lamenting the 20,000 civilian deaths in Normandy and the destruction of the German seaside defense pillbox bunkers that took years to construct but only days to destroy when the Allies invaded on D-day

If you’re siding with bloodthirsty savages, who would behead you in a NY minute, because some yet-to-exit-puberty d-bag did a Tik Tok video about the fake “occupation,” he read about in a blog post from another basement dwelling “influencer” taking a break from his porn watching schedule, then you’re doing this life thing all wrong.
