LA Times Columnist Blames GOP For California’s Problems

/

A column in the Los Angeles Times which sought to blame California’s recurring problems on the Republican Party was subject to widespread ridicule – which is truly the only response.

Penned by long-term LA Times columnist Steve Lopez, the article titled, “They say Democrats are to blame for all California’s problems. But GOP is MIA [Missing in Action]” cited the Republicans’ poor showing in the Golden State as a contributing factor to ongoing issues.

After a short history lesson from the California native, Lopez claims the decades-long homelessness crisis dating back to Ronald Reagan’s Governorship of the state (it doesn’t). Acknowledging that the Democrats have effectively controlled the state since the 1990s (actor Arnold Schwarzenegger being the last Republican to hold a statewide office in January 2011), Lopez proceeds to blame the GOP for allowing the Democrats into power.

“None of them [GOP candidates] has offered winning solutions to deep-seated problems, and it might be too late for a party resurgence because as the electorate has grown more diverse, GOP voter registration has dwindled to roughly 25%,” writes Lopez. “You can’t blame Democrats for that.”

So let’s try to follow this. Lopez is a leftist doesn’t like Republicans, but blames them for not having enough power to enact their policies to fix things… which Lopez opposes and doesn’t actually think will fix anything. And Lopez himself will continue voting Democrat, further denying Republicans and additional control in California, which further implodes his own arguments.

It’s an interesting perspective, but one which seems desperate to blame the GOP. While Proposition 187 may have turned California’s Latino and Asian American population against the Republican Party, the Democrats have enjoyed some 30 years to address the issues within the state which only seem to be getting worse rather than better.

McCain Family With Egg on Face After Arlington Revelation

/

Oh, hypocrisy. Where would modern politics be without you? 

You’ve probably heard about the furor over Donald Trump’s recent visit to Arlington Cemetery. It’s hard to avoid because the leftist media and politicians will not stop shrieking about how “disrespectful” Trump was to pose for photographs with the families of military servicemen killed in Afghanistan… who invited him.

CNN is lying and calling Trump’s appearance at the cemetery a “campaign event” to make it seem like Bull In A China Shop Vulgar Trump exploited grieving military families to bolster his ego and election chances. You can see the network lying right in their own story. 

What actually happened is quite different. A group of Gold Star families held a memorial ceremony at Arlington last week in remembrance of the 13 American soldiers who were killed in Afghanistan during the disastrous withdrawal in 2021, presided over by Joe Biden. 

Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, Cackler in Chief, got on social media over the past weekend to accuse Trump of staging a political event and shaming military families. But the families invited Donald Trump themselves because neither Joe Biden nor Harris would even respond to their invitation, let alone show up. 

Many of these families present released videos defending Trump and criticizing the Biden-Harris administration for ignoring their responsibility for the deaths of their family members and not even bothering to respond to an invitation to a remembrance gather. Mark Schmitz, father of Jared Schmitz, one of the 13 killed during the withdrawal, said they invited Trump to the gathering because “we wanted a leader.”

But the left will stop at nothing, even stooping to insulting the families of war dead, in order to get Bad Orange Man. 

Now CNN’s Natasha Bertrand thinks she’s got a major scoop about the son of the late Senator John McCain. Jimmy McCain confirmed that he has switched to the Democrat party so that he can vote for Kamala Harris. Jimmy was feeling quite righteous, calling Trump’s appearance with the Gold Star Families a “violation.”

But there’s one little problem – his father *actually* used Arlington to campaign.

You can watch the ad for yourself below:

That’s right. Jimmy’s own father was rebuked in 1999 by Arlington Cemetery staff for actually filming a political ad at the graveyard without permission. 

Good God—what is it with these people?

Here’s what the internet had to say. 

You’ve got to feel for this guy, who quaintly believes the truth still matters. 

This user pointed out that Natasha Bertrand of CNN quickly modified her X/Twitter post to turn off comments. These people do NOT like being talked back to. 

Bet Jimmy McCain won’t like this one bit. 

Don’t know if this claim is true, but it is interesting:

Amazon Accused Of Election Interference After Alexa Gives Conflicting Responses On Presidential Election

/

Amazon’s Alexa provides strikingly different responses to enquiries about Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, many social media users have found.

Alexa is an artificial intelligence model created by the Jeff Bezos-founded company. Through their Echo range, Amazon sells home devices which can assist in everyday living.

Although mostly used for music and radio listening, Alexa can also try to answer questions using artificial intelligence (AI) it’s asked about countless issues, including the presidential election.

That is, of course, if you’re the Democratic nominee.

When asked, “Why should I vote for Kamala Harris?”, the AI responded with “many reasons to vote for” the Vice President. “The most significant, maybe, is that she is a strong candidate with a proven track record of accomplishment,” Alexa said. “As the first female vice president, Harris has already broken down the major gender barrier, and her career in politics has been characterized on a commitment to progressive ideals and a focus on helping disenfranchised communities.”

When asked the same question about Trump, the device responded, “I cannot provide content that promotes a specific political party or a specific candidate.”

See for yourself:

Many on social media accused Amazon of election interference – and countless others had the same experience.

Others accused the corporation of bias.

Donald Trump’s Interview With Lex Fridman Summarized

/

Donald Trump sat down with Lex Fridman in his latest interview with an online personality.

The Republican nominee has taken a different approach to tackling the media in his third successive presidential campaign. In addition to mainstream media outlets, Trump has taken to digital media and engaged in hour-long discussions with popular online personalities.

This different approach was the theme for the beginning of the discussion, where Trump said Democratic rival Kamala Harris performed “very poorly” in an interview with CNN at the end of August.

Afterwards, Trump highlighted the issue of mass migration and migrant crime. He said that countries such as Venezuela had witnessed a reduction in crime rates as criminals flock to America.

Foreign policy was also a subject of discussion. The former president praised his administration’s handling of foreign affairs and noted that President Joe Biden’s botched Afghanistan withdrawal led to 13 U.S. soldiers losing their lives.

Trump denied any association with Project 2025 – a Heritage Foundation policy playbook for a second Trump presidency.

“I’ve heard about things that are in there that I don’t like, and there are some things in there that everybody would like,” Trump said. “But there are things that I don’t like at all. And I think it’s unfortunate that they put it out, but it doesn’t mean anything because it has nothing to do with me. Project 2025 has absolutely nothing to do with me.”

Amid Trump’s tour of podcasts, many have speculated over a possible appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience. He denied any tension following Rogan’s support for Robert F. Kennedy Jr., adding that he hadn’t been asked to appear on the UFC commentator’s podcast.

The issue of political convictions cropped up during the hour-long discussion with Trump claiming Hillary Clinton was “lucky” that he chose not to pursue any legal action.

As the interview drew to a close, Trump said he considered the “lack of religion” to be a major issue in today’s America.

Joy Reid Accidentally Debunks The Democrats’ Project 2025 Hoax

/

For much of the 2024 Presidential Election campaign, Democrats have tried desperately to tie Donald Trump to Project 2025.

The Heritage Foundation’s roadmap for a second Trump presidency has little to do with the Republican candidate. In fact, persistent Democratic claims that the former president plans to implement Project 2025 upon a return to the White House have even forced CNN into fact-checking mode.

The Democrats continue to push the policy framework in fearmongering efforts to capture moderate voters despite knowing such claims Trump will implement it are false. It’s a key part of their campaign, particularly as Republicans spare little time to defend such dubious accusations.

Even then, the left is struggling to get it right. Left-wing MSNBC broadcaster Joy Reid accidentally shared Trump’s “current campaign website” which, as clear as day, showcased Agenda 47 – not Project 2025.

“What happened to the Platinum Plan?” Reid asked, as she continued to scroll through Trump’s policy ideas. “What I do see, however, is this; Donald Trump’s current plan which is, in his current website where he’s showing his policies he would implement in a second Trump term, [to] cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, radical gender ideology, and other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content on our children.”

She somehow didn’t realize that she was quoting Trump’s actual policy and not the Project 2025 policies she was trying to wrongly attribute to them. As many pointed out on social media, Reid is effectively advocating a vote for Trump given how much sense the policies she quoted from make.

Another user noted that it was nice to see a presidential candidate share their policies online.

Others were less surprised by Reid’s latest cock-up.

Politico Community Noted After Forgetting Kamala Harris Is The Vice President

/

Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter, now X, in 2022 has not been short of controversial.

The decision to rename the social media platform is a fine example; Musk’s supporters praise his improvement of the site, while his fiercest critics – if they haven’t already left – long for the days where San Francisco liberals ran the site. Undeniably, though, one of the better additions has been community notes. In short, the notes allow users to add context to any post which may benefit others. Politicians, unexpected, are not the biggest fans…

Nor are media outlets, either. Clickbait journalism and questionable claims are no longer exempt from a contextual background check for all to see. Politico is no exception, which recently tried to put JD Vance on blast for linking Kamala Harris to Joe Biden, the woman who she serves as Vice President for.

The outlet published a story with the widely ridiculed headline “Vance tries to tether Harris to Biden during Michigan rally.”

Echoing other mainstream media outlets trying to distance the Vice President from the President, Politico implied that Republican running mate J.D. Vance’s comments were apparently nothing more than speculation.

They, too, were community noted, with it hilariously reading “Harris is currently President Biden’s Vice President.”

Conservatives also added to the context in their subsequent replies.

Days before Politico ran their article, user @ebeth360 made a satirical post of a fake “False” rating from PolitiFact, purporting to rate the claim that Harris is Biden’s VP as “false.” The joke being that the so-called “fact checkers” are willing to bend reality to defend the left. Her post was a joke, but it only took days to become reality in the form of that Politico article.

This post perhaps sums it up perfectly…

Vance himself also responded to the article.

Kamala Harris’ Attempts To Change Debate Rules Offer Reminder Of The Last Time She Ran For The Presidency

/

Kamala Harris is hardly renowned for her fondness or scrutiny or challenging debate.

The Vice President has only agreed to one debate so far on ABC, where she will face Republican challenger Donald Trump in the first debate between the two political rivals.

Reportedly, the ABC debate on Tuesday, September 10, will follow a similar format to that of the CNN debate between Trump and President Joe Biden earlier this year. Microphones will be muted when it is not one candidate’s turn to speak, with no audience, pre-written notes or props permitted.

Harris, however, has been reportedly trying to amend the debate rules ahead of her first one-on-one with the former president. The muting of microphones is a particular sticking point for the Harris campaign despite Trump’s public non-preference over the issue. In fact, the muting was requested by Biden’s campaign team ahead of the CNN debate back in June following the chaos of the 2020 presidential debates, as presumably they thought it would be to the benefit of Biden. Clearly, they’re having second thoughts.

Many conservative commentators have alluded to Harris’ poor performance against the now-independent Tulsi Gabbard in the race for the Democratic nomination in 2019.

In that debate, Gabbard tore Harris’ track record as Attorney General for California to shreds, effectively killing off any momentum the then-Sen.’s campaign had.

Trump has pulled in Gabbard to help with his debate prep against Harris.

Social media users offered their own insight as to why Harris was seeking to amend the rules for her first debate in four years.

Another commentor expressed surprised that ABC was standing its ground over the debate rules.

Joe Rogan Slams MSNBC For Taking “Out Of Context” Remarks About Kamala Harris

/

Podcaster and veteran UFC commentator Joe Rogan slammed MSNBC for editing a clip to make it appear that he’s praising Vice President Kamala Harris.

The clip featured Rogan praising former Democratic Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, but was manipulated to appear as if the remarks were made about Harris. His comments were taken from two separate clips and mashed together as if his praise was for the Democratic presidential nominee.

Rogan brushed aside rumors that he planned to sue MSNBC but said, “They took a clip of me talking about Tulsi Gabbard and they edited it up and made it look like I was saying great things about Kamala Harris.”

“I was talking about Tulsi Gabbard being a congresswoman for eight years and about how she served overseas in two deployments in medical units dealing with people who were blown up from the war. Like that’s not something Kamala Harris did,” Rogan added.

The Joe Rogan Experience host said that his comments were taken “out of context” and shared to an audience who do not regularly watch his content.

Saying that MSNBC “don’t care about the truth”, Rogan added, “They just want a narrative to get out there amongst enough people because most people are just surface readers.”

MSNBC has since deleted the video and added a disclaimer. Nevertheless, concerns remain about the impact the mashed video may have had.

Others noted that such actions by leftist media outlets may drive more people away from the Harris camp.

Many called for Rogan to invite Donald Trump as a guest, particularly given Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s recent endorsement of the Republican.

MSNBC’s Ari Melber Threatens To Sue Donald Trump Advisor In Heated Televised Clash

/

MSNBC broadcaster Ari Melber launched a furious tirade against Donald Trump advisor Corey Lewandowski on live television in which he threatened to sue the former president’s aide for defamation.

The controversy erupted following a Fox News article reporting on prior remarks made by Melber regarding the bandage on Trump’s ear in the aftermath of the assassination attempt against his life in Butler, PA. A segment from Melber’s show was referenced where the broadcast quote a New York Times article about Trump being his own “biggest prop”. It noted the “large white bandage on his injured right ear”, describing it as “a blank rectangle on which the crowd could read what it wished, and that made it the most potent placard in the hall.”

Reacting to the piece, Melber said, “That’s fair. A placard for delegates to fill in, an image for political mobilization, a spectacle, for this candidate who we know is by his own admission obsessed with assorted spectacles.”

But on Wednesday’s broadcast, Melber had a change of tune and lost it when Lewandowski made reference to it.

“So you didn’t say this bandage was a proper spectacle from a candidate who’s obsessed with spectacles?” Lewandowski asked.

“Mr. Lewandowski, I did not say that. That is a false quote,” Melber responded. “What you have is a false quote. I’m putting you on notice. If you continue to repeat falsely that I said that, you will be potentially in a defamation situation because I didn’t say that.”

Watch the insanity for yourself below:

CNN Forced To Fact-Check The Democrats’ False Claims Over Project 2025

/

The Democratic National Convention and CNN are akin to two peas in a pod.

Although their roles should be separate – a political party and the fourth estate are only hand in hand in state-controlled media landscapes – the two share one thing in common: a passionate hatred of Donald Trump. This isn’t saying much, as nearly the entity of the media behaves like this – and has served as the Democratic Party’s PR wing for decades.

Nevertheless, in its duty to appear impartial, CNN ran a fact-check on the Democrats’ claims over Project 2025. Often associated with the Republican nominee, Project 2025, according to Democrats, is Trump’s plans for office should he win the election in November.

After three days of playing on voters’ concerns over the policy document, CNN destroyed the DNC’s main argument in a single, 30-second segment. The network aired a clip of Delaware Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester in which she claimed Trump “wrote” Project 2025.

However, CNN – to their full credit – rebuked the claim saying it was “false”.

“Trump did not write Project 2025,” said broadcaster Daniel Dale. “The project’s big policy document, published by the Heritage Foundation thinktank, lists dozens of people as authors, editors, contributors; Donald Trump is not among them.”

Many on social media were stunned by the apparent change of heart by CNN. Of course, we shouldn’t be fooled – as this kind of reporting from them is something we only see once in a blue moon. After all, they only managed to spend 30 seconds on this rebuttal.

Dale laughably claimed elsewhere that the Democratic National Convention speeches had “very few falsehoods or misleading statements.” But as Newsweek’s Paul du Quenoy pointed out, solely of Biden’s speech:


At times, Biden’s mendacity veered into economic policy. Evil billionaires, he menaced, are only paying 8.2 percent of their income in taxes, a debunked calculation identified as “way too low” even by PBS and the Left-leaning Brookings Institution, which both place the figure above 20 percent. Biden’s 8.2 percent figure, a biased product of his administration’s own economists, derives from partial federal income tax calculations rather than the less politically expedient actual figures. It also doesn’t register that over 40 percent of American households pay no income tax at all, or the fact that in actual numbers, the top 1 percent pays over 45 percent of all taxes paid in the U.S.

Trade relations, too, fell victim to the addled president’s dishonesty when he boasted of job creation in relation to exports. The unavoidable mathematical fact, however, is that the $901 billion trade deficit of 2020 ballooned to over $1 trillion in Biden’s first year in office and has never gone below that figure since. “Bidenomics,” or “Kamalanonics,” as it now being called, has made America poorer, especially in the post-industrial Midwestern swing states that are certain to decide the election in November.

And that’s just one topic of one speech.

Others were angered by the Democrats’ continual insistence that Project 2025 is a Trump-authored policy.
