Kamala Harris claims she's campaigning for "freedom" and "joy," but her track record shows she's the enemy of the most important joyful freedom of all – Free Speech. She and Democrats all across their leadership ranks have used government power to muzzle those who disagree with them for at least the past 8 years – and counting. So, voters here in the Good Ol' USA had better decide if we want a government that limits what we can hear and read, and the political views we're exposed to, or not. Kamala Harris's definition of "freedom" is anything but free.

She did a 41-minute interview with CNN's Dana Bash that could not have been more softball if CNN had put a Nerf Ball on a tee in front of her – and let her swing away until she hit it. They only released about 18 minutes of her supposedly hour-long "Big Interview" of questioning and babbling. So, where is the rest? We can safely assume that she looked like even more of an idiot than the limited CNN director’s cut that was provided. She’s always incoherent – you have to translate her English, into English.

How do accomplished radicals like today's Democrats elect a mediocre, far-left candidate like Kamala Harris to be president? The task might seem impossible at first – but she is currently a radical incumbent Vice President. For years she's been 2nd in Command to an unprecedentedly unliked Democrat president, and she's compiled an unprecedented hard-left record – while loudly boasting everywhere that she's proudly "woke" and "radical." But for her to be elected, the following "15 Radical Rules" will be required and must be followed – to the letter.

He’s a normal human being, as one would expect from an Ohioan. He doesn't have that weird vibe you get from a lot of politicians, that if they take off their business suit they'll disappear. The Democrats may think he's weird, or at least claim he is, but that's only because they are a bunch of weirdos. JD doesn't think that women can become men, nor does he think that socialism is the answer. Nor does he create elaborate reasons for dodging his duty – when duty called, JD Vance, unlike Tim Walz, didn't let it go to voicemail. He’s normal. Like us.

“If someone tells you who they are, believe them,” is a time-honored Political Rule – and Democrats are clearly now telling American Voters that "Socialism" is the party's main, Official Doctrine. Once upon a time, ideas like Kamala Harris's "Price Controls" announcement of 2-short weeks ago were only advocated by extreme leftist Democrats such as Vermont's Bernie Sanders, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, or New York Cong. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez – but now, that and more are the party’s "mainstream" position. Here's why.

President John F. Kennedy was a staunch anti-communist who fought against Union & Government Corruption. He was a pro-life Catholic, was laser-focused on faster growth ("we can do bettah,") and saw sweeping tax rate reductions as a step toward achieving 4% to 5% growth. Today, just the opposite: Democrats are now for higher taxes, they ignore and excuse union & government corruption, and they don't even talk about growth. It's all income redistribution. RFK Jr. was right when he said the other day– he hasn't left the Democrat Party, the party's left him.

It’s scary as hell. The United States is not ready for the kind of war we are seeing played out in Ukraine, a peer-to-peer conventional fight that is rewriting the rules of what we thought war was supposed to be. And, with leadership in the White House sitting in a rocker staring slack-jawed at Matlock reruns, we are not in a position to fix what will mean defeat in our next real war.

A near decade ago, we witnessed the 2015-2016 Hillary Clinton/Democratic National Committee/FBI-assisted effort to plant the false accusation of Trump-Russian collusion to warp the 2016 election. That gambit centered around the fraudulent Steele dossier and nearly fatally crippled the Trump 2016 campaign. That hoax would later sidetrack 22 months of his presidency before being proven a fantasy. On the eve of the 2020 election, the left next birthed the Russian laptop disinformation campaign.

It was a rank pander to the economically illiterate, and I wish we had a word to describe the type of thinking that's this divorced from reality. Kamala Harris’s proposal "to lower grocery prices and everyday costs” is invaluable insofar as it, in effect, attacks high prices for being high – as though they increased in a vacuum. The real problem is, she's failing to address the source of three-plus years of inflation and escalating prices – the policies of Kamala Harris & Joe Biden 

The convention in Chicago, hometown of former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama. They spoke at the DNC about "hope" and about the importance of everyone living up to his or her potential. For many Chicagoans, that's a tall order. In 2022, according to the Illinois State Board of Education, there were 53 Illinois public K-12 schools, mostly in Chicago, where 0% of the students could do math at grade level and 30 public schools,0% of the students could read at grade level.

Antisemitism on college campuses is intense. Incidents shot up 700% after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel. Last year, Jewish students were blocked from classes, told to "go back to Europe," and even forced to navigate a Jewish "exclusion zone" at one university. Don't expect much improvement this fall. Aside from the resignations of three Ivy League presidents, colleges have done little to deter more incidents.

According to RealClear Politics, 65% of Americans say "our country is on the wrong track." Only 25% say we are "moving in the right direction." So this week's Democrat Convention will be worth watching – if for no other reason, simply as an exercise in detecting American hypocrisy. You will learn how much more radical they are than anyone else you know. You'll see just how much they're willing to lie to get your vote. But why should we believe them?

If you listen to the Doomers, we’re doomed, We’re dying, we’re done, it’s over – Kamala is coming in, and Kamala absolutely could win. But the correlation of fundamentals is in favor of Trump. The economy is a disaster. Biden-Harris foreign policy is putting us all at risk. Our borders are wide open. Criminals are running the streets. This is all Democrat policy – and it's all poison to normal people. ​​​​​​​America needs an insurgency campaign; which is what Trump’s doing.

The already-long 2024 Presidential Campaign has become the strangest in modern history. In sum, Presidential Campaigns traditionally kick off after Labor Day – and most follow closely accepted protocols. But this warped 2024 version violates every prior precedent. Its not just creepy, but dangerous – even before the campaign was supposed to formally begin. Here are 10 unanswered questions that illustrate how and why we've entered this bizarro world.

As two-thirds of Americans now say they believe the country "is on the wrong track," what new theme have Kamala and her running mate adopted for their Presidential Campaign? ​​​​​​​"Joy." Rent & Electricity Bills are up 10% or more the past two years – Oh JOY! Car Insurance costs are up nearly 40%. Oh JOY! ​​​Families can trade down from prime steak to a cheaper cut of meat at grocery store, but they can't do that with the water bill. And the two Democrats have "seized on a joyful message"?

You can tell when someone really nails a politician by the way no one tries to defend them. When someone really rhetorically punches a candidate in the nose, the guilty slink away and hope the issue fades. If that candidate is attacked unfairly, the airwaves are flooded with friends and colleagues, provided by the campaign, to defend them. That no such defense of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has been forthcoming on his stolen valor allegations.

Democrats are economic illiterates. The Democrat Party as a whole, is odd and illogical. Democrats believe the best qualifications for public office are to be female, homosexual, and a person of color. Kamala checked two of those boxes for identity politics, got the nomination without ever getting a single vote from the electorate – and now the leftist media is asking Donald Trump if she was a DEI Hire!  Oh, but Democrats are going to "Save Our Democracy."

“Tim Walz is a far leftist,” Johnson says.  “He’s on video giving sanction to Socialism…he thinks it’s a great idea. He says that we ought to have sanctuary cities and that illegal aliens should be given drivers licenses. He champions abortion and indeed he expanded abortion rights in his state with almost no limits at all.” He adds that Walz clearly does not line up with the values of the American people.

The Democrat's Harris-Walz lie is clear – and is the same as Joe Biden's from four years ago. Joe Biden talked "unity" and "competency." He denied all his Left-Wing positions, said his wild Democrat Primary claims were "dis-information," and as soon as he was elected Biden became the hyper-leftist Democrat he promised he wouldn't be. Fooled and naive voters were shocked – he said he'd be a "moderate," and turned into a Democrat-Socialist! Just like Kamala is doing.

Traditionally, a vice-presidential running mate is chosen to help “balance” the ticket. Sometimes that “balance” is an ideological balance, so different ideological wings of the party feel they have a stake in the election (think Johnson-Humphrey), while other times it’s a geographic balance (think Kennedy-Johnson), and still other times we’ve seen an experience balance (think Obama-Biden).
