Does a leopard change its spots? Does the Media change its spots?

Does a leopard change its spots? Does the Media change its spots? Nope! Neither can the mainstream media. We have the tale of the scorpion and frog. The scorpion needed to cross the river. The scorpion asked the frog to carry it across the river. The frog refused, saying you will sting me, and I will die. The scorpion said “No, if I do that then I will also die.” The frog consented. The scorpion stung the frog halfway across the river. The dying frog asked the scorpion why it stung him. The scorpion responded: “Creature of Habit.” So too is the mainstream media. They can’t control themselves. The daily columnist diatribes against President Trump are underway. The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, Boston Globe, Philadelphia Inquirer, MSNBC and CNN et al continue to revile President Trump, his appointees, and pronouncements. First it was Matt Gaetz, now it’s Pete Hegseth. Next it will be Tulsi Gabbard, and RFK, Jr. They continue to moralize against Republicans and ignore the transgressions of Democrats. The New York Times ran a large on how the Trump Family will economically benefit from his Presidency. The sounds of silence existed with Hunter Biden’s multi-million dollar “pay-to-play” deals with China, Russia, and ??? Vice President Kamala Harris as a young attorney in the San Francisco City Attorneys Office slept with the married, 60 year old Mayor Willie Brown of San Francisco. Her husband, Doug Emhoff, was divorced by his first wife because he impregnated the nanny. He also had the reputation of a misogynist partner of his law firm. Not a peep from the mainstream media as they excoriate the moral failings, actual or alleged, or missteps by Republicans. The columnists are asserting President Trump’s win was not a landslide, similar to the earlier claims that inflation is not a problem. It’s no longer a landslide in their eyes because he polled slightly less than 50%. If you remove California and its ballot harvesting late votes from the vote count, he would have more than 50% of the total votes. They’re worried President Trump will have his hands on the trigger of the nuclear bomb, forgetting he had already been President for four years with his hands on the trigger. They fret that the Justice department will become a department of persecutions, which is what it’s been the past four years. They’re worried he will seek revenge against his political enemies. Did they break the law? Was there a conspiracy between prosecutors in New York State, New York City, Atlanta and the Justice Department to destroy President Trump’s candidacy, such like the earlier Russia conspiracy and Mueller investigation of 8 years ago. They celebrated the demise of Representative Matt Gaetz. That’s like fishing in a barrel with a shotgun. Matt Gaetz’s nomination was DOA, dead on arrival, in the Senate. Representative Gaertz never learnt a fundamental rule of life: Be nice to those you pass on the way up because you might see them again on the way down. He had offended most members of Congress. He led the way in dumping Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House. He is known for bloviating and not legislating in the House. The media has little credibility where it needs it the most: President Trump, Republicans, conservatives, and the American people. Their columns, editorials, and op-eds are speaking to each other in an echo chamber. They’re rebuilding the echo chamber as I write. They applaud and bestow awards on each other in the echo chamber. Governor Newsom of California has long suffered from the delusion of becoming President. He called a special session of the California Legislature to solidify California’s values against the Trump administration: “to safeguard California values and fundamental rights in the face of an upcoming Trump Administration.” He wants another $25 million from the state legislature to fund litigation against the Trump Administration. It’s must be great to be the termed out governor of a one-party state. Illinois and New York have echoed Governor’s Newsom’s resistance. The media quotes President Trump’s words out of context. They take his strong words as policy positions, ignoring that President Trump is negotiating. They now cry out against President’s tariff promises, loudly asserting the tariffs will raise the cost of goods to Americans; that they will cause inflation. Where have they been the past four years? They know they screwed up royally in becoming a shill for the Democratic Party. They profess to do better, but they can’t – it’s their character. They have rarely their past mistakes in covering President Trump, much less apologized for them. Russia Gate, the Steele Dossier, the Mueller report, the recent Lawfare, they cheer it all on. They never apologize, or usually acknowledge all their past mistakes. The mainstream media lives in an echo chamber, not understanding their circulation and viewership is sinking, and apparently not caring. They ranks are quickly disappearing. The problem is deep-seated. Conservatives are not welcome in most journalism schools. The journalism students are not taught to be reporters, but as advocates for their beliefs. Los Angeles Times staffers wrote a memo in which they said their duty requires them “to be transparent and act in service of the public.” The owner of a media source has the right to control the policies, coverage, philosophy, and political perspective of the paper, magazine, cable or internet media. Employees, including journalists, who disagree have a choice; they can go along or resign. Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong is the owner and thus publisher of the Los Angeles Times. He has clearly stated he wants the LA Times to be profitable. Circulation is shrinking as an echo chamber of the left, while advertising dollars have migrated to the internet. Jeff Bezos, owner of the Washington Post, is unhappy with last year’s $77 million loss. Both media owners made their fortunes as entrepreneurs in a capitalistic society. The staff of their papers are employees – not owners or publishers. Their echo chamber is fighting a sinking ship, plunging readership and viewership. Creature of Habit.

What If The Biden Administration Were In Power During Pearl Harbor?

Jen Psaki – former Biden Press Secretary I’m going to circle back to that Karine Jean-Pierre – Biden Administration Press Secretary There is nothing here to report Admiral John Kirby – White House National Security Communications Advisor A few presumably Japanese planes lost their way and approached our Navy base at Pearl Harbor. Our air defenses shot most of them down with only slight damage to our ships. Antony Blinken, Secretary of State We don’t want to overreact and cause Japan to escalate National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan I published a report last week that the Pacific had never been more peaceful General Lloyd Austin, Secretary of Defense We’re speaking with our allies Alejandro Mayorkas, Secretary of Homeland Security We know of no foreign involvement President Joe Biden – falling off a bicycle while eating an ice cream somewhere on Rehoboth Beach, cannot be reached

The Hunter Biden Pardon

The grifter President Joseph Robinette Biden pardoned his ne’er-do-well drug addicted, alcoholic felon son Hunter Binder. The Democrat’s mantra for President Trump is that no one is above the law as they practice lawfare against Republicans. Democratic Vice President sons are apparently above the law. So too is President Biden for possessing classified documents next to his Corvette in his garage. President Biden said many times he respected the law and would not pardon his son. That was, of course, a lie, but no one should be surprised by the pardon. The media extolled the virtues of President Biden in stating he would not pardon his son. He justified the pardon by claiming the prosecution of his son was “politically motivated” and a miscarriage of justice. President Biden has been a pathological liar his entire political career, all 48 years. Dementia has not affected his lack of veracity. An old lawyers’ joke is “How do you know a lawyer is lying.” When he opens his mouth and speaks. President Biden’s most common lie was “I give you my word as a Biden.” Hunter Biden engaged his father, the President, in his pay to play deals with China, Ukraine, and Romania. The House of Representatives reported Hunter raked in over $27 million since 2014 from foreign parties. The money flowed to Hunter and the Biden family. The late Rush Limbaugh constantly referred to the Biden Crime Family. The Hunter Biden pardon covers not only the crimes for which he has been convicted or pled guilty to, but also any crimes he may have otherwise committed over the preceding ten years. That broad pardon makes it difficult to follow the money in the Biden family, but it’s not impossible. This pardon is a blanket pardon for crimes that have not resulted in prosecutions, and even as of this date, may not have been investigated. A blanket pardon is for an unspecified crime. It is a get out of jail for free card. We now know why Hunter Biden pled guilty to the felony tax fraud charges on September 5, 2024. He both knew the pardon was coming and that the Biden Family dirty linen would not be publicly aired. The federal prosecutors made it clear they would enter into evidence the saga and sum total of the Hunter Biden pay to play scheme. The President’s pardon does not preclude state prosecutions for violations of state law. Nor would it preclude future federal prosecutions if Hunter Biden falls off the wagon. Hunter claims to have been clean for 5 years. He knows his father can no longer run interference for him. We hope for the remainder of his life he stays clean and earns an honest living. If President Biden believes his statements about the integrity of the law, then he would have simultaneously pardoned Donald J. Trump, but of course he didn’t. He allowed his attorney general to file criminal charges against his political opponent. The media outrage will be somewhat muted on January 20 when President Trump pardons the January defendants. We read George Orwell’s 1984 and Animal Farm in high school: “All animals are created equal, but some animals are more equal than other.” We know Joe Biden ran his presidency like a third world autocrat, governing by executive order, ignoring Supreme Court decisions, and trying to imprison his political opponent, President Trump. The President under the Constitution essentially has unlimited power to issue pardons and commutations. Article 2, Section 2 grants the President the “power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.” The pardoning power is almost absolute, not subject to Congressional review. It is therefore subject to abuse. President Clinton issued many questionable pardons, especially on his last day in office. One of the pardoned was Marc Rich, a fugitive billionaire. Some commentators premise the Hunter Biden pardon may tarnish the legacy of Joseph Robinette Biden. His legacy will not be tarnished; the pardon will add to his legacy of incompetence. President Obama stated Biden’s legacy years ago: “Never underestimate Joe’s ability to fuck up.” President Carter is increasingly looking better. Joe Biden is an American tragedy; the Peter Principle for all to witness. The Democratic Lawfare looks even more perverted and a judicial travesty today, but that may not deter New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg or the New York City judges handling the civil and criminal cases against President Trump. The Democrats campaigned against Donald Trump and the Republicans as threats to Democracy. Blanket, peremptory pardons for Trump’s opponents will be an affront to democracy. I assume Representative Nancy Pelosi will no longer recommend adding Joe Biden to Mount Rushmore.

Why Vice President Harris Lost.

How could Vice President Harris Lose? James Carville: “It’s the economy stupid.” President Reagan: “Are you better off today than four years ago?” It’s the economy, inflation, immigration, ignorance, incompetence, arrogance, crime, DEI, elitism. How could Vice President Harris lose? She outspent President Trump, $1.2 billion, almost 2:1. She had the support of Silicon Valley. She had the rabid support of the mainstream media. The Academic world was a booster. Her campaign focused on identity politics, slicing and dicing the American populace, forgetting that we are all Americans. The elites backed her. She was young, empathetic. She is an avid supporter of abortion rights. Her cheerleaders included the Obamas, Clintons, Taylor Swift, and Hollywood celebrities. The Democratic Party was unified behind her. Her talking points were vetted through focus groups. The Biden Administration buying student votes by cancelling student loans. Climate change is a major concern for young voters, but jobs are a larger concern for college grads. Factcheckers, who often needed their fact checking, facr checked, routinly hammered President Trump. Lawfare would destroy Trump – federal indictments in Florida and D.C., state indictments in Florida and New York, convictions through a New York City who violated basic constitutional rights and rules of law, monster fraud penalty by another New York judge, unsupportable civil defamation verdicts by another judge, and Colorado trying to keep him off the Ballot. All to no avail. Her strategists focused on women, abortionn(reproductive rights) Blacks, especially women, Asian Americans, climate change, Hispanics, and Arab Americans. She insulted half the American populace. She was defying history. Only two vice-presidents have been directly elected president at the end of their president’s term of office: Martin Van Buren in 1836 and George H.W. Bush in 1988. Both lost re-election. The problem for Veeps is that they have to run against the sins of their president. President Biden is currently rated worse than President Carter. Vice President Harris said she couldn’t think of anything she would do different than President Biden. That was doubling down on failure. President Biden’s goal of being a transformative president resulted in an attempt to radically transform America with the program of the radical left wing of the Democratic Party. President Biden is transforming American Politics by shattering the Democratic coalition put together by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The American people do not identify with wokeness and DEI, speech codes, pronouns, cancel culture. The majority of Americans are White. Accusing them of White Privilege, male and female, is counter-productive. Favoring Arabs over Jews does not play well in the United States. Donald Trump outpolled Kamala Harris in Dearborn, Michigan. She refused to appear at the Annual Al Smith Memorial Dinner fundraiser for Catholic Charities in New York. The last Democrat who failed to appear was Vice President Hubert Humphrey in 1980. Trump won 54% of the Catholic vote in 2024. Defunding the police is not a winning proposition. Neither is providing funds to rioters. It’s the economy. The rate of inflation may be dropping, but the inflation prices remain in the supermarket. Gas is high. Crime is high. Homelessness is high. Interest rates are high. Vehicle prices are high. The private sector is stagnating while government employment is up. Open borders have spread throughout the country. Trans competing in women’ sports is not popular. Abortion rights were a major flashpoint in 2022, but not so much in 2024. She promised to raise taxes, on the rich. Americans know better. Don’t blame it on President Joe Biden. He made a Faustian Bargain with Senator Bernie Sanders to win the Democratic nomination and the Presidency. The good news for Vice President Harris is that she probably did better than President Biden would have. The poo-bars of the Democratic Party knew he was in rapid decline, but they lied to prop him up. Their plan was to reelect President Biden, and then have him resign or be pushed out in 2025, letting Kamala Harris become President Harris. The Democrats were hoisted on their own petard with President Biden. All she lacked was the American people.

When Did Vice President Harris Lose the election?

When Did Vice President Kamala Harris Lose the Election? 1) When Speaker Pelosi led the charge to force President Biden Out? 2) When she dropped out of the democratic primary campaign on December 3, 2000 having staked out a platform on the far left, and couldn’t run against today? 3) When Harris announced she was running? 4) When Harris was anointed? 5) When Harris switched from a feel good campaign to Demonizing Trump and his supporters? 6) When she couldn’t think of one difference from Biden while espousing change? 7) When she and Biden sold out the Jewish vote to reap the Muslim vote in Dearborn, Michigan? 8) When she repeatedly failed to define herself? 9) When she chose Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota rather than Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania as her running mate? 10) When she couldn't escape the Joe biden shadow? 11) When she emulated the Hillary Clinton Campaign by hobnobbing with celebrities?

Predictions for the November 5, 2024 Elections

Caveat – If either President Trump or Vice President Harris wins by a large margin, then most of this post is irrelevant, or "garbage" to quote President Biden. Once again the pollsters will be wrong. If the election is close, the losing party will unleash a flood of lawyers on America; Judge will mostly be unsympathetic to the lawsuits. The Supreme Court would prefer to stay out of the melee, but might not be able to do so. The Lawyer ads will replace the political ads on TV. If the margin of victory is razor slim, then America will remain even more bitterly divided. Alternative A: President Trump Ekes Out a Narrow Win Psychotherapists will be working overtime for months. Peaceful demonstrations and marches will ensue, but so too will bloody riots. Universities will offer counseling to their students. Some, perhaps led by prominent Democrats, will attempt to disqualify President Trump under the Insurrection Clause of the 14th Amendment. Disqualification for federal office, extends House of Representatives, Senate, or hold any office, civil or military” of the United States if they engaged in resurrection against the United States. Vice President Harris could conceivably become President by default. That will end America’s democracy. The ensuing legal and political conflict would make the Bush-Gore spectacle of 2000 look like child’s play. The celebrities threatening to leave the United States if Trump wins will stay. Vice President Harris will join Governor Michael Dukakis (Who?). Where are they now? CNN and MSNBC will see a surge in viewership. The Jewish vote in America outweighs the Arab vote. The resistance already has a plan in place: Send in the lawyers. Alternative B: Vice President Harris Ekes Out a Narrow Win Many will remember the late election night activity of the battleground states in 2020. Philadelphia is notorious for “walking around” money. President Trump will not fade into the background. President Biden spent his time eating ice cream and biking along the beach. Vice President Harris spent her time hobnobbing with the rich and famous in Brentwood. Will she move the scene to D.C. or commute to LaLa Land? The Peter Principle in Action. The next four years will result in national angst. Many Americans will look fondly back at the Presidency of the senile Joe Biden. Fox News will become more outspoken.

The Harris Campaign Strategy Was Simple

Who is Kamala Harris? America wants to know! Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign strategy was simple: Run Out the Clock. Market her as a warm empathetic, moderate candidate. Hide her radicalism. Keep her out of meaningful press conferences and avoid answering probing questions, such as her past radicalism. The campaign is an update of keeping Joe Biden in his basement during the 2020 election. It hasn’t been working. She had the most liberal record in the Senate during her 4 years in the Senate. Senator Kamala was to the left of Senator Bernie Sanders. Ignore the fact that she is a radical San Francisco Democrat. She promises a new path forward, but when asked by 60 Minutes if she would have done anything different than President Biden, she responded: “I can’t think of anything.” Here’s what she wanted to ban: Assault Weapons Fossil Fuel leasing on federal lands and offshore Fracking ICE Internal combustion motor vehicles Offshore Drilling Plastic Straws She wanted to end the filibuster. She opposed President Trump’s border wall, but supports Open Borders. Indeed, the illegal immigrants would be on the path citizenship. She repeatedly donated to an anti-police, pro-sanctuary group in D.C. Does she still support forcing medical providers and religious hospitals to perform abortions over their religious beliefs? Does she still support athletes kneeing during the National Anthem? Does she still support taxpayer funding for trans surgery for prisoners and illegal immigrants? Does she still support changing Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples Day? Does she still support gun control and a mandatory buyback of assault weapons? Does she still support sanctuary cities? Does she still support 6 months family and medical leave? She wrote as Attorney General of California the “legal description” for Prop 47, the one that sparked the property crime wave in California. California voters are poised to overturn Prop 47 with Prop 35 in November. She supports Israel’s right to defend itself, but wants Israel to back off in Gaza. She runs ads in Dearborn, Michigan supporting the Palestinians and refused to meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu when he addressed Congress. She refused to make the presidential candidate traditional presence at New York City’s Al Smith Dinner, which raises funds for Catholic Charities, also snubbing Cardinal Dolan. She did not formally support Defund the Police, but supported Los Angeles cutting the police budget by $150,000,000. She compared ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) to the KKK. She wanted to cut the ICE and close immigration detention centers. She wants to stack the Supreme Court. The self-describer tough on crime prosecutor opposes the death penalty. She contributed to, and raised funds, to provide bail bonds for the BLM rioters in Minneapolis after the George Floyd killing, the Minnesota Bail Fund. She wants zero cash bonds. She wants universal medical coverage from the government through Medicare. She says nothing about her words at a 2018 parade in Los Angeles: “up, up with education, down with deportation. She doesn’t comment on her earlier support for athletes who kneeled during the National Anthem. She wants to tax “unrealized capital gains” on net worth over $100 million. She has steadfastly supported abortion tights – no equivocation on pro-choice. She wants government to lower, i.e. set, drug prices. Kamala Harris is a radical San Francisco politician, straight out of the San Francisco milieu of Gavin Newsom, Nancy Pelosi, and Barbara Boxer. Her father is a Marxist economist. Her two most important statements: I am a radical. I haven’t changed my values. Senator Bernie Sanders said it best: Harris is making a pragmatic approach on her policy positions “in order to win the election.” Vice President Kamala Harris has not changed her values. She just doesn’t talk about them.
