KOMMONSENTSJANE – The Fatal Flaw in Kamala Harris’ Speech – Marred By Biden’s “Garbage” Comments

11/01/2024

These are her remarks today and they are different from the remarks she has made from day to day. Which adds up to she says what she needs to say for the moment to get elected. She is not an honest person.

The Flim Flam artist! I think Biden is trying to tell the American people – don’t vote for her.

The optics were perfect. The crowd was massive. The media reviews were glowing.

But there was a fundamental contradiction at the heart of Vice President Kamala Harris’ speech on the Ellipse that virtually no one is talking about. 

First, I’ll give the vice president her due. It was a well-written address and strongly delivered. It contained a fair amount of policy, such as Medicare payments for home health care and aid to first-time home buyers.

INTERVIEWING DONALD TRUMP: A LAST-MINUTE BLITZ AND NEW CLOSING MESSAGE

Harris acknowledged that many voters were just getting to know her. She mentioned her mom and her middle-class upbringing, as she always does. She said she’s not perfect and makes mistakes.

But the backbone of the speech was a two-fisted, no-holds-barred attack on former President Donald Trump.

Harris likened him to King George III as a “petty tyrant.” She called him “unstable” and “consumed with grievance.” She said he’s seeking “unchecked power” and is “obsessed with revenge.”

In short, after a 100-day campaign, Harris is still running as she did when she quickly seized the nomination, as the anti-Trump.

Now, such rhetorical assaults can be traced to the dawn of the republic. You may not love me, but that other guy is so much worse.

That’s why she used the White House as a backdrop, standing at the spot where Trump gave his speech on Jan. 6, 2021 urging his supporters to go to the Capitol, where many proceeded to riot.

Fine. Fair game. Especially for a candidate who’s trying to win some Republican votes, aided by Liz Cheney, a number of former Trump officials and, as of yesterday, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

But then the veep tried to make the pivot, presenting herself as the candidate of unity.

And therein lies the fatal flaw. You can’t beat the crap out of your opponent and, in practically the next breath, say you want to bring the country together. You can’t have it both ways. You can be an attack dog, but if you’re baring those teeth, you can’t suddenly be purring like a puppy.

Not that Harris didn’t have some good lines. Trump has an enemies list and she’ll have a to-do list. And of political opponents: “He wants to put them in jail. I’ll give them a seat at my table.”

The segue: “It is time to stop pointing fingers and start locking arms.”

But, um, she just spent a good chunk of her speech pointing fingers.

And then she kept circling back to Trump in the second half, such as when discussing abortion rights.

Harris also went beyond political exaggeration. “He tried to cut Medicare and Social Security every year he was president,” she said. That is simply not true. But she gets very little fact-checking.

Overall, the speech was a plus for her, despite its clashing ideas. But make no mistake, she’s running as the alternative to a man she paints as dangerous.

As the Free Press put it: “This campaign is and always has been all about Trump. And it will be all about Trump all the way to the finish line now.”

But Harris’ big moment was marred by President Biden – the, ah, previous nominee – to the point where it almost seems like he’s trying to undermine her.

Last week, the president said of his predecessor, “Lock him up.” Harris always says she’ll leave that to the courts.

And now, referring to the racist comic at the Madison Square Garden rally who called Puerto Rico an island of garbage, Biden said: “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.”

The president stumbled for a couple of seconds and added: “His–his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American.”

Boom. Too late. There were instant comparisons to Hillary Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” swipe at Trump supporters in 2016.

Biden posted a clarification, saying he was referring only to comic Tony Hinchcliffe. (Trump says he doesn’t know the performer and didn’t hear the so-called joke.) 

The White House put out a transcript that included an apostrophe, as in “his supporter’s,” trying to indicate that he was talking about one person. Who would have thought the campaign would turn on a lowly apostrophe? 

A reporter asked Harris about the Biden blunder yesterday before she boarded Air Force Two.

“He clarified his comments, but let me be clear: I strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on who they vote for…I believe the work that I do is about representing people whether they support me or not.”

Harris finally broke with the boss, wisely distancing herself from the blunder. No wonder she’s resisted his suggestion that they campaign together. He’s doing enough damage on his own, with some pundits even suggesting it’s deliberate. 

And that gave Trump an opening: “Now, on top of everything, Joe Biden calls our supporters ‘garbage.’ You can’t lead America if you don’t love the American people.”

It’s a distraction that Kamala Harris didn’t need in the final days of the campaign.

KOMMONSENTSJANE – What Kamala’s “UNBURDENED” Phrase Really Means: The Radical Agenda Exposed.

Posted on October 28, 2024 by kommonsentsjane

10/28/2024

We must not underestimate her rhetoric or the impact it could have on those who are already radicalized. It’s time to wake up to the truth behind Kamala’s favorite phrase and what it really signals for the future of America.

ttps://redrightupdates.com/what-kamalas-unburdened-phrase-really-means-the-radical-agenda-exposed/?email=robjoy87%40windstream.net&ptn=29&source=BEC2P&r=false

Kamala Harris loves repeating one phrase—over and over—as if she’s discovered the secret to life itself: “Imagine what can be, unburdened by what has been.” At first glance, it’s easy to dismiss this as another example of Kamala’s garbled “word salad” speeches. But there’s something more sinister beneath the surface—this isn’t just a random collection of words meant to sound profound. No, this is a calculated dog whistle, cloaked in progressive ideals, designed to signal her true, radical intentions.

What the Phrase Really Means: Unpacking the Leftist Dog Whistle

Let’s start by dissecting the phrase itself. “Imagine what can be…” sounds hopeful at first, right? It’s a call to envision a bright, limitless future. But then comes the kicker: “…unburdened by what has been.” Here’s where the danger lies—Kamala isn’t talking about removing past mistakes to move forward; she’s talking about erasing history.

It’s straight out of the playbook of Marxist revolutionaries. Think about it: every attempt at reshaping society into a so-called “utopia” has required the eradication of history, traditions, and culture—all in the name of starting over. From the brutal purges under Mao in China to Pol Pot’s violent “Year Zero” campaign in Cambodia, the goal has always been the same: wipe out the past to control the future. Kamala’s phrase is a dog whistle to those who see America’s foundational values as obstacles to be destroyed, not preserved. This is how radical change is justified—by presenting history itself as a burden rather than a foundation.

Why Kamala’s Rhetoric Matters: It’s More Than Just Stupidity

Kamala’s repeated use of this phrase is infuriating for a reason: it’s not just empty rhetoric—it’s intentional propaganda. And that’s why we can’t afford to simply write her off as dumb or ill-prepared. Kamala Harris’s words might seem ridiculous on the surface, but their underlying message is cunning. This is an attempt to galvanize her base, especially the radical left that sees America’s history as inherently evil.

Kamala’s dog whistle isn’t meant for the average American—it’s designed for those who are deeply committed to a radical transformation of America’s core. To them, her phrase is a call to erase everything that came before—to rip out the roots of American exceptionalism in the name of “equity” and “social justice.” This isn’t progress; it’s a revolutionary agenda hiding in plain sight.

The Reality Behind the ‘Unburdened’ Phrase: A Call for Cultural Erasure

When Kamala talks about imagining what can be “unburdened by what has been,” she’s not promoting progress—she’s promoting cultural erasure. The unburdening she speaks of isn’t just about eliminating oppression; it’s about dismantling everything that defines America as it currently stands:

  • Free speech? That’s a burden.
  • Second Amendment rights? Another burden.
  • Traditional family values? Yet another burden.

To Kamala and her ilk, these foundational principles aren’t virtues to be cherished—they’re shackles to be broken. But make no mistake: this vision of “progress” doesn’t lead to a utopia. It leads to chaos and authoritarian control, as history has repeatedly shown.

Why Kamala’s Phrase Should Worry Every American

Kamala Harris isn’t just stumbling through speeches, bumbling her way from one gaffe to the next. This phrase is carefully crafted, and its repetition is strategic. She’s dog-whistling to a very specific audience—those who believe in fundamentally transforming America by obliterating its past. It’s the same tactic we’ve seen throughout history, from Marxists to modern leftists: disguise your true intentions behind vague but “inspirational” language. The mainstream media may call it “visionary,” but conservatives should call it what it really is: a warning sign.

Kamala’s vision of “unburdening” isn’t just empty talk. It’s a coded message to radicalize the left and push America further down the path of socialist-style upheaval. It’s a veiled threat against the very foundations of our republic—against the Constitution, against freedom, and against everything that has made America great.

Final Thoughts

It’s easy to laugh off Kamala Harris as uninformed or out of her depth. But her repeated use of this phrase should be seen for what it is: a call to erase America’s heritage in the name of a new, radical order. It’s not merely incompetence—it’s a calculated move to pave the way for a revolution that tears down what the left views as “burdensome” history.

Again – we must not underestimate her rhetoric or the impact it could have on those who are already radicalized. It’s time to wake up to the truth behind Kamala’s favorite phrase and what it really signals for the future of America.

All of the above smells like “you can’t trust her” because she lies.

KOMMONSENTSJANE – Mark Cuban Asked Where It All Went ‘Wrong’ With President Trump – Tedium Media

11/01/2024

Your statement – he was a lousy President. All records are that he did more in four years than any president in history.

It is surprising that he thinks Kamala Harris is smart. Why don’t we solve that by ASKING her take an IQ TEST?

The problem is she is a progressive and that does not fit our Constitution. She is going to do a BAIT AND SWITCH LIKE BIDEN DID ON THE PEOPLE.

Watching Biden/Harris during the last four years and what they have done to our country by not following the Constitution/Bill of Rights and the threats they have made against the people. The fact that they referred to the taxpayers as being last and the immigrants first fell in line with the ATTACK on the people that they were GARBAGE.

Another thing I don’t like about Harris is she is lazy and wants everything given to her and not work for it. She has a hard time interfacing with people by the way she has treated her staff over the years in that she has a hard time keeping employees because they did not like working for her.

But, in the end I think Cuban is working with the ONE WORLD ORDER/SOROS/OBAMA/BIDEN/HARRIS.

Mark Cuban Asked Where It All Went ‘Wrong’ With President Trump Business entrepreneur podcast
Mike News Wire October 25, 2024


Billionaire investor Mark Cuban shared why he stopped supporting former President Donald Trump in 2016 and why he backs Vice President Harris for 2024.


In a recent interview with FOX Business’ Neil Cavuto, Cuban reflected on his relationship with Trump. He stated, “I don’t think it went wrong.” Cuban enjoys Trump’s company. “He’s fun to hang around. He’s got a great personality, he’s charismatic.” But he added, “I think he was a lousy president before, I think he’ll be a worse president this time.”


Cuban emphasized that it’s not about personality. “It has everything to do with ability.” He has clearly aligned himself with Harris while Trump has taken shots at him on Truth Social. Trump called Cuban a “loser” and criticized him for not returning calls.


Cuban shrugged off Trump’s rhetoric. “I don’t care. He amps up rhetoric all the time. That’s who he is.” Cuban noted that this behavior highlights Trump’s lack of focus on policy. “That tells you how much time he spends on policy and trying to learn things.”


Cuban revealed that his support for Trump faded due to a lack of depth in their discussions. “The more I talked to him about policy, the less engaged he was.

” Cuban pointed out that Trump often offered “talking points and soundbites, no depth at all.”

(What has Harris offered as far as her policies on running the country – said she would continue what Biden offered.)


On Harris, Cuban believes her campaign is compelling and more appealing to voters. “Kamala has a better product.” He criticized Trump as a relentless salesman who doesn’t focus on meaningful content.
In a separate radio interview, Cuban discussed Harris’ tax plan. He argued that inflation issues date back to early 2020 when the pandemic began. He explained, “The oil companies went to Donald Trump and said: look, it’s not sustainable for us to have oil prices as low as they are.”


Cuban praised Harris’ approach to taxes. “What she has said is that anybody making under $400,000, their taxes will not go up.” He noted that Harris aims to raise the capital gains tax to 28%. “That’s not going to change anybody’s behavior.”


When asked about a potential cabinet position under a Harris-Walz administration, Cuban was clear. “I don’t want one. I don’t want to work for the government.” He believes he can make a bigger impact as an entrepreneur and CEO.

Just days earlier, Emhoff had faced public accusations of assault from an unnamed ex-girlfriend, who alleged he slapped her after a celebrity event in New York. Two witnesses confirmed her account, stating she had called them following the incident. Emhoff, who is also alleged to have had an affair with his children’s former nanny, has seen these personal issues become unexpected campaign fodder. The Harris campaign denied the assault allegations, while Emhoff’s ex-wife issued supportive comments amid the claims of infidelity. Despite these controversies, Ocasio-Cortez continued with her praise.

Ocasio-Cortez told the audience Emhoff’s approach was “a real contrast” to the “toxic examples of masculinity” seen in today’s political and cultural arenas, stating he wasn’t afraid to “lift up women.” She criticized traditional masculinity as embodying “weakness” and “insecurity,” saying, “Doug is a strong counter to that.” She emphasized that his ability to support Harris’s high-profile role makes him a role model for men and young boys alike. Emhoff, who joined the rally alongside his son Cole, encouraged the crowd with an optimistic tone about Harris’s campaign, referring to his wife as “the president starting in six days.”

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) made waves this week with an unexpected endorsement of Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff’s “masculinity” at a Nevada campaign rally for Kamala Harris. Speaking to a room full of young voters at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Ocasio-Cortez praised Emhoff, describing him as a model of “tolerant” masculinity who “embodies security” and “lets his girl shine,” according to The Daily Mail. These remarks, however, struck many as curious, given recent tabloid headlines involving Emhoff.

Some found Ocasio-Cortez’s comments about Emhoff’s character and alleged tolerance tone-deaf given the recent accusations, suggesting that her remarks seem at odds with her advocacy for women’s rights and accountability. This rally took place at the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art, where some speakers reportedly used language that seemed to target traditional gender roles, drawing mixed reactions from the audience.

As the 2024 election reaches its final stretch, Harris’s campaign will need to navigate these stories carefully, especially given the intense scrutiny of public figures’ personal conduct. For Ocasio-Cortez, her comments raise questions about her judgment on the campaign trail, as she champions figures like Emhoff while dismissing the potential impact of recent accusations.

KOMMONSENTSJANE – Opinion | A Harris Victory Means a Fourth Obama Term GARBAGE CAN – Do We Want More Division/We Can’t Afford 4 More Years of Bidenomics….

10/31/2024

We need a clean break with Obama/Biden and put the Constitution/Bill of Rights back on the table. Biden/Harris/Obama put the Constitution in that GARBAGE CAN that Biden is referencing.

Obama/Biden are working with SOROS/ONE WORLD ORDER. Soros’ son has an office in the White House – a few offices down from Biden called OPEN SOCIETY.

It is time to shut down the OPEN SOCIETY ORGANIZATION which means OPEN BORDERS and the continuation of more immigrants streaming into the country.

Opinion | A Harris Victory Means a Fourth Obama Term
© Michael Brochstein/Zuma Press


Editor’s note: The Wall Street Journal hasn’t endorsed a presidential candidate since 1928. Our tradition is to sum up the candidacies of the major party candidates in separate editorials. We’ll start with Kamala Harris.

You have to admire Democrats for their audacity. They claimed for more than a year that the clearly declining Joe Biden was mentally fit enough to serve another four years. When the June debate made that untenable, they did a 180-degree turn and anointed his Vice President as their nominee while claiming, without so much as a nod of embarrassment, that she somehow represents “a new way forward.”

Republicans could never pull off that one. And in the end neither has Ms. Harris, if you take her at her word. Asked on “The View” on Oct. 8 what she might do differently from the last four years, Mr. Biden’s loyal number two said, “There is not a thing that comes to mind.” That was the truest line spoken in what has been a notably dishonest and dispiriting election campaign on both sides.

Ms. Harris has presented herself as new based largely on her biography. But as far as policies and coalition go, she represents more of the same, and not merely of the last four years. Her candidacy is best understood as an attempt to continue the progressive political wave that began in 2006 with the GOP defeat in Congress and rolled ashore as a tsunami amid the financial panic of 2008. She is running for what essentially would be Barack Obama’s fourth progressive term.

This doesn’t mean she lacks political appeal. She has run a capable enough campaign on short notice, and she routed Donald Trump in their lone debate. If elected, she would bring more energy to the Presidency than Mr. Biden. She also sounds optimistic, even patriotic, notes about America.

But we have been searching in vain for signs that she would break from, or even temper, the progressive excess that defines the current Democratic Party. Her endorsement by anti-Trump Republicans isn’t that sign because it’s based solely on loathing for Mr. Trump. A token GOP appointment to her cabinet would mean little unless it’s a major post.

On domestic policy, she is offering more Bidenomics without the label. She wants to expand the entitlement state beyond even what Mr. Biden has—for elder and child care, housing, a larger Affordable Care Act, and more. Her proposed tax increases are nearly as extensive as Mr. Biden’s, running past $4 trillion over 10 years. She shows every sign of wanting to expand and accelerate the climate corporate welfare and mandates that distort investment at enormous taxpayer cost but no benefit to global temperatures.


This might be tolerable if Ms. Harris showed evidence on foreign affairs that she understands the world’s current dangerous moment. Yet she defends the last four years as a security success, despite two wars, adversaries on the march, and the U.S. Navy playing whack-a-missile in the Red Sea.

She talks about having a strong military but has failed to propose anything to rebuild it as threats proliferate. If she nurtures an inner Harry Truman that would explain to the public the need for better defenses, we haven’t seen the evidence. If she does win, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping will quickly test her mettle. She seems unprepared for those tests.

All of this reflects the progressive advisers and the coalition she’d bring to the Oval Office. We wrote last week about her climate adviser’s desire to eliminate all fossil fuels, and her foreign policy aides are on board for appeasing Iran and putting restraints on Israel.


There are no Scoop Jacksons or Joe Liebermans in today’s Democratic Party. Ms. Harris would have to reach out to GOP hawks the way FDR made Republicans Henry Stimson and Frank Knox his Secretary of War and the Navy, respectively, in 1940. She has shown no such historical memory or the political courage to do it.

A Harris Presidency with a GOP Senate would check some of her worst policy instincts, at least until 2026 when the Senate map favors Democrats. But most Democrats would read her victory as a political vindication of the last four years. The Sanders-Warren wing of the party would pressure her for more.

The worst result would be a Harris victory with a Democratic sweep of Congress. Then it’s Kamala bar the door. She is on record as wanting to break the 60-vote Senate filibuster rule and to restructure the Supreme Court. This would make for an unbridled progressive agenda that would rig voting rules, augment union power, control more of the private economy, and add D.C. and Puerto Rico as states.


Many Americans see all this and will still vote for Ms. Harris because they think four more years of Mr. Trump is a bigger risk. We have no illusions about Mr. Trump’s flaws and the risk they pose. But voters also have cause to fear the bloody-mindedness of the modern left, with its regulatory coercion, cultural imperialism, economic statism, and desire to strip judicial independence. If Ms. Harris loses, this will be the reason.
