It’s what the young people today call a “sick burn.” You can bet some blue-no-matter-who people in Texas are hopping mad after someone bought a billboard right beneath another ad urging Texans to “vote Democratic.”
The billboard plugging votes for Democrats sits on a pole that can fit two signs, one above the other. A sign reading “Vote Democratic” was placed on top, with the one below reading “Cooper.”
Cooper is the advertising agency that sells space, and the “ad” is just a placeholder letting people know there’s a spot they can rent for their message. Well, the gentleman who posted the video above noticed and said, “That one right there is still available. Shall we do something?”
And do something he did. Watch below – and get ready to laugh:
It’s not just conservatives or Texans getting a laugh out of that bit of trolling. A rock radio station in Wichita Falls, Kansas, noticed the billboards. Staff writer “Stryker” for 106.3 FM wrote Democrats in Comfort, Texas, are probably having acid indigestion on seeing the perfectly legal and above-board “prank.”
The original sign urging a Democrat vote was bought and paid for by the Kendall County Democrats.
And who was the stinker who put up the “Just Kidding, Vote Republican, MAGA” sign just below? You’re going to love this. The customer is a gunsmith who owns a business that applies ceramic coating to guns, cars, and more.
The “ratio” on X (Twitter) in response to the post about the billboard is decidedly in the gunsmith’s favor:
But there’s always at least one blue party pooper:
A new Kamala Harris campaign advert in which two “ex-Republican voters” claim they were turned off by the events of Jan. 6 features paid actors, according to a citizen journalist on social media.
The ad (below) features two “lifelong Republicans” in Pennsylvania who now claim to support the Vice President due to events occurring under Donald Trump’s presidency. However, the duo featured in the video, Robert Lange and Kristina Chadwick, are both trained actors, film producers, and farmers.
The two released “Hayride to Hell” in 2022 – a horror film centered on a farmer’s attempts to reclaim his land from local villagers. It reportedly premiered at Centre Film Festival in State College, PA, alongside movies about interracial gay fathers and the struggles of illegal immigrants.
Lange and Chadwick are also prolific donors to the Democratic Party, with the former having regularly donated to ActBlue, the DNC, and the Hillary for America campaign in 2016.
Many on social media were deeply critical of yet another dubious tactic by the Harris campaign, which is focusing its efforts on the swing state.
Other commentors noted that such campaign tactics could amount to disinformation by the Democrats.
America does not have royalty. That used to go without saying, but as with quaint concepts like freedom of speech and assembly, modern Americans need more frequent reminders of their political birthright.
Getting out from under the tyrannical British Crown was the motivation for the American Revolution—the tax on tea was only the proximate cause that set off a long-waiting powder keg of resentment among the colonists. Subjects are not citizens, and the founding fathers wanted a system of government that the people consented to.
But though we don’t often admit it, Americans have held onto a certain romantic interest in the trappings of royalty. We are as, or more, obsessed with gossip about the British Royal Family as His Majesty’s subjects are.
We can see this affection for aristocracy in the strange and frankly un-American title we give to the wife of the U.S. President: first lady (no, it’s not capitalized because it isn’t a real title). The United States does not have lords or ladies; that’s the entire purpose behind the American project. We do not officially recognize an elevated status for the wife of the president; she does not become Queen Consort for four years simply because her husband was elected to office.
That is, unless she is Jill Biden. And that’s DOCTOR Jill Biden to you, serf. Have you noticed how those with Mickey Mouse doctorates like Biden’s—she got hers in the fake field of “education”—are the ones insisting on being called “Dr.” by everyone around them?
It looks like Jill Biden would very much like us to call her Madam President. Take a look at this remarkable spectacle (click below to watch the video):
🚨Wow. A visibly exhausted Joe Biden just held a full Cabinet meeting for the first time in 11 months and immediately turned the mic over to his wife, Jill:
“I’d like to turn it over to Jill for any comments she has. It’s all yours, kid.”
This is footage of the first full cabinet meeting President Biden has held in 11 months. That’s no surprise, of course; everyone knows Biden is in the grip of senile dementia and has spent more time flat on his back at Delaware beaches this year than he has spent on doing his job.
But why is Jill Biden seated at the head of the table where the President should sit? She doesn’t hold any office. No one voted for her. She is quite literally just some guy’s wife.
And why does the new White House stationery bear Jill’s signature underneath Joe’s?
Let’s see what X users have to say about our new first overlady.
Ari here has a point—were you able to understand much of what Joe Biden said in the video above?
Kamala Harris’ rallies appear to be attracting the same supporters, according to a data expert.
The Vice President is on a whistlestop tour of the United States as she seeks friendly faces to join her campaign. Her reluctance to do interviews – she’s averaged one every 20 days since Joe Biden’s decision to stand down – has meant rallies are a particularly key tool in sharing her message for change from the current administration in which she is second-in-command.
Rallies are effective in delivering remarks to a welcoming audience. However, it appears her audience may be a little bit too loyal if GPS data is considered.
Of the 5,003 mobile devices at her post-debate rally in North Carolina, 3,600 originated from Georgia. The majority were from Atlanta, while just under one-sixth were from Savannah.
Data expert Tony Seruga shed further analysis on this trend; of the 5,000 mobile phones present at the Charlotte rally, around 90% have attended three others so far this campaign. More than half (54%) were even at rallies in Arizona and Nevada.
The insight comes amid allegations by Republican rival Donald Trump that the Vice President has been forced to transport loyal supporters in by bus in order to boost attendance figures.
Many on social media also noticed the surprisingly low number of locals who seemingly bothered to attend her events.
In July of 1979, then-President Jimmy Carter took to the airwaves to address the nation about a threat that he believed “strikes at the very heart and soul and spirit of our national will.” Carter called it a “nearly invisible threat” that in many ways goes unnoticed. Carter dubbed it “a crisis of confidence.”
We can see this crisis in the growing doubt about the meaning of our own lives and in the loss of a unity of purpose for our nation. The erosion of our confidence in the future is threatening to destroy the social and the political fabric of America.
But, even during his own trying times, Carter dismissed out of hand the idea that the soul of America was at stake during his “crisis of confidence,” stating, “I do not mean our political and civil liberties.”
“They will endure.”
Forty-five years later, I fear I cannot say the same, as I firmly believe that America faces a new “crisis of confidence” threatening to destroy our social and political fabric.
Ten years ago, you might have dismissed my opinion as conspiratorial nonsense. Yes, we have a growing partisan divide. But no one would dare weaponize the levers of power in government to lord over political rivals.
Anyone paying attention to politics since President Donald Trump shocked the political establishment to its core in 2016 would laugh at our naivete.
When Trump defeated Hillary Clinton, the embodiment of an entrenched political legacy and the poster child of Washington “swamp” culture, a “fight or flight” reflex activated in partisans on the left, breaking a détente which Carter most likely imagined would endure; a silent agreement to never weaponize the powers entrusted to the federal government by We The People against a political rival.
I need not remind you of the myriad ways an unholy union of government power brokers, mainstream media, big tech social media platforms, and government bureaucracy behaved during the Trump years. Merely invoking the name “Hunter Biden” should be sufficient shorthand summarizing the left’s amplification (to the point of absurdity) of “Orange Man Bad” and the suppression of credible facts and circumstance that ran counter to their skewed narrative. From this manipulation spawned a form of fanatical tribalism that saw many politicians crossing lines that Carter took for granted.
Which brings us to the current political climate. It is a climate where it has become commonplace to call fellow Americans a “threat to democracy,” “vicious,” “dangerous,” or “extreme.” It’s a political climate where odious individuals go on national television and say, “They’re still going to have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump.”
And wouldn’t you know it? After nearly a decade of ratcheting up the temperature to a boiling point, someone tried to do just that.
Actually, two somebodies.
In the wake of this climate and the two assassination attempts that followed, it would be malpractice to not question what the hell is going on in the federal government. It would also not be unreasonable to debate whether government Is this incompetent or whether the near decade of political tribalism has taken its toll on essential government functions, like the protection of a political rival.
But that is where we are at. In the fallout of these assassination attempts, the latest of which prompted Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis to state that “it is not in the best interests of our state and nation to have the same federal agencies seeking to prosecute Trump leading this investigation.”
It is not just partisans on the right like DeSantis expressing a lack of confidence in the federal government. Even the staunchest voices on the left who are investigating cannot help but to criticize the Biden administration – of which they’re part of – because they too want to know how a shooter got onto a rooftop with a rifle and was able to get off multiple shots killing civilians in what should have been one of the most safe places anyone should have been.
Voices like Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), the chair of the panel charged by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee – who is no friend of Donald Trump – has expressed his dismay with the federal government failures as well as his opinion that our government has been less than forthcoming with relevant information:
I think the American people are going to be shocked and appalled by our findings as to the lapses and failures — on that day, at that site, but also more deep seeded — still plaguing the Secret Service, And I think the American people are also going to be deeply disappointed in the Department of Homeland Security, not just in the lapses In performance, but also in its resistance to providing information.
Those are pretty disturbing sentiments, made even more terrifying knowing that a second attempt happened weeks later. Same target. Same agency. Same lapses.
If partisans on both sides of the aisle are so brazenly questioning the effectiveness of the federal government to do its job, how can we not openly do the same?
The Kamala Harris campaign account has been caught lying once again in yet another attack on former president Donald Trump.
Trump was holding a rally in Tucson, AZ, when he was discussing a 2,000% increase in the population in the borough of Charleroi, PA. Trump attributed this to a large influx of Haitian migrants under the Biden-Harris administration.
“So, Pennsylvania, remember this when you go to vote: 2,000% increase,” Trump said. “This is a small town, and all of a sudden they’ve got thousands of people.”
The Kamala HQ account, which regularly posts attacks on the former president, tried to deceive voters by editing the clip as to appear that Trump was confused about his audience, claiming that Trump thought he was in Pennsylvania despite being speaking in Arizona. However, social media users quickly highlighted the attempted deception.
Check out the full clip below, where you can see that Trump was talking about thousands of Haitians being dumped on a small town of Pennsylvania, telling the crowd to remember that when they vote.
Many were not surprised by yet another lie from the Kamala HQ account.
Others called for a permanent community note on the Harris campaign account.
A rally by Kamala Harris and Tim Walz caught the attention of social media users on Thursday, Sept. 10 for its bizarre chants, strange behavior and a huge Freudian slip.
The two campaigned in Grand Rapids, MI, as part of a tour of swing states the Democratic ticket needs to win if they are to secure the White House for another four years.
Minnesota Gov. Walz took to the stage first for a strange, longwinded speech which, as predicted, largely focused on attacking Donald Trump. During the speech, Walz prompted a chant of “we’re not eating cats” in response to the recent allegations in Springfield, OH.
He also praised Harris’ political upbringing, although mistakenly called her a “young prostitute-r”.
As Walz’ speech came to a close, the vice presidential nominee cringe-inducingly gesticulated across the stage.
His “prostitute” remarks were highly discussed on X, with many seeing the humor in the Freudian error.
A Minnesota resident tried to offer an explanation.
Kamala Harris’ long-awaited “issues” page on her campaign website was copied and pasted from Joe Biden’s re-election campaign platform, it has been discovered, proving that she’s officially stealing from with the Trump and Biden campaigns.
The Harris campaign launched the page after months of speculation over what her policy platform entailed, and repeated criticism from Donald Trump and other conservatives. In addition to repeated false claims about Trump’s association with Project 2025, the page pledges “A New Way Forward” focusing on the economy, civil liberties and justice.
However, when the new page was shared among Democratic circles, many noticed a glaring issue; it had been directly copied from President Biden’s shelved campaign.
“Join our campaign to re-elect Joe Biden today,” read the meta description for those sent a link to the website.
If you searched for Harris’ issues page on Google, the “re-elect Joe Biden today!” line is repeated in the description.
The Vice President faces an uphill struggle to differentiate herself from a president whose chances of re-election were so slim that his own party ousted him before it was too late. A fresh face has brought renewed hope for the Democrats, but governance over giggling will triumph in any election. If she cannot present herself as a beacon of change from the previous four years, her tenure in office will come to an end on January 20, 2025.
There is, of course, another problem for Harris. The fact that she has finally released a policy platform is not enough for many moderates; if her pledges lack substance, they are unlikely to carry her to the White House.
Social media has erupted after a photo of Tim Walz recirculated in which he was pictured outside a bakery which was forced to close during Minnesota’s COVID-19 lockdowns.
Following Walz’s visit to a Georgia bakery, Minnesota Sen. Tina Smith shared a post of herself and Walz outside Daube’s Cakes in Rochester from early 2020. “Can confirm,” wrote Smith in response to a Walz quote in a Fox 9 article which he said he had “no problem” picking out donuts.
There was just one little problem in them sharing that old photo.
Social media sleuths were quick to note that the bakery was forced to close after 32 years of operation in June 2020. At the time, Gov. Walz mandated draconian lockdown regulations on business across the state amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Worse still, it’s not the first time either Sen. Smith or Gov. Walz have made such an insensitive error. In 2022, Walz wished Smith a happy birthday by posting the same image years after Daube’s had closed.
Several social media users were disgusted by the naivety.
Others noted that Sen. Smith had tried to crop the bakery’s signage out of the image.
Oh, sorry—got caught up in the down-home authenticity of Kamala Harris on the campaign trail. People talk about the word salad she usually serves, but there’s something off about the dressing, too.
What is her accent? How many does she have? And which one is real?
These are not easy questions to answer. Depending on where she is and who she’s talking to, Kamala Harris can sound like a typical Millennial corporate girl-boss who thinks vocal fry makes her sound serious, or like she’s trying out for a pancake syrup commercial in old Dixie.
You could hear it in her recent softball interview with CNN’s Dana Bash (also with her security blanket, running mate Tim Walz). Harris alternated between the low-pitched croaking vocal fry that some women use to sound “serious,” and a high-pitched, little-girl-with-a-small-mouth cutesy tone. Her voice can’t decide what it wants to be, because Harris cannot decide who she wants to be.
Well, really, she wants to be all things to all people, which is likely why she changes up her speaking pattern so drastically depending on her audience. Some would call that smart politics; others would call it sociopathy.
Let’s look back at just a few weeks ago when Kam Kam was speaking to an audience in Georgia. Remember, this is a woman who grew up in solidly middle class Berkeley, but she can’t even be honest about that. Even the New York Times, partisan as it is, called her on the carpet for having “virtually erased Berkeley, her hometown, from her campaign biography.” Whatever her natural accent, it’s highly likely to sound like a middle class kid from California.
So where in tarnation did this drawl come from?
You can watch a video of her most recent drawl below – which also includes three minutes of other cases where Harris did exactly this.
Let us render the most recent into the written word for you:
“You awl hay-alped us do that and you goan help us agin in twunneh-twunneh-foe-wer.” Given how eager she is to portray herself as an integral part of the historic civil rights movement (“And, you know, there was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools, and she was bused to school every day. And that little girl was me.”), one half expects her to say she was the little girl in the old Shake-n-Bake Commercial, too.
Southern-fried Kam Kam is out on the trail again, this time—strangely—in Detroit. Watch that below – and then compare it to how she spoke in Pittsburgh when she delivered the exact same line. As you were expecting, she magically adopted a new accent within hours (both clips are in the video below):
Slay, kween?
We know what we think of this linguistic legerdemain, but let’s see what the internet thinks!
OK y’all this one done burnt my biscuits:
Tee-hee.
Uh-oh, someone dragged Hillary into this:
