The ABC News Trump-Harris Presidential debate during the evening of Sept. 10, established at least one undeniable fact – Kamala contrived more falsehoods than fact-checkers could keep up with.
Either that, or they unplugged their audio when she began spinning yarns.
However, in spite of her equivocating and assistance from the moderators, she can’t hide from previous videos revealing what she’s actually said in the past about certain topics.
Tape from news clips and interviews has a long shelf life. It doesn’t evaporate, magically disappear, suddenly alter content, or be ravaged by termites.
A fact of life Kamala either ignores, can’t comprehend, or doesn’t care.
For instance, during her brief 2019 Presidential campaign, she repeatedly said she was against oil drilling, fracking, building a border wall, favoring mandatory government gun buybacks, abolishing private healthcare insurance and openly endorsing full-term abortions.
With the exception of abortion – which seems to be the Democrats’ sacred cow – Kam has flipped on fracking, open borders, health insurance, and gun confiscation.
Now insisting she’s no longer a fracking foe, strengthening border security and continued private ownership of firearms has become the pledge of the newly reminted Kamala.
Maybe someone suggested it really doesn’t make sense for taxpayers to finance government confiscation of their own private firearms.
And of course, reviving the redundant Obama pledge – “If you like your health insurance, you can keep your health insurance.”
Except, you won’t be able to if former statements are a reflection of her real opinions.
Again, videotaped statements are a difficult thing to dance around. Kamala may boast a whole new script in 2024, but her roots are deeply embedded in ultra-liberal/socialist soil, even before she emerged as a left-leaning California prosecutor and U.S. Senator.
Her gibberish didn’t sell well in 2019, being one of the first contenders to drop out of the contest. It was apparent she was too far out there to attract sufficient endorsements and financial support to continue a viable campaign.
She did, however, lure the attention of Democratic Party officials. With a firm reliance on their recommendation and authority, Joe selected her to be his 2020 Vice Presidential nominee.
Not because he was particularly fond of her, or thought she could contribute meaningful substance to the ticket. Rather, it’s looking more apparent he was compelled to accept her because of inner-party arm twisting and robust verbal suggestions.
A national political candidate thinks in terms of the present election. A national political organization plots a couple of elections in the future.
As a result, Kamala was a kind of insurance policy the Democrat National Committee put into place as a guarantee if Joe was to stumble or unable to function as President, she would be the party’s backup.
As early as 2020, Joe was showing signs of mental decline, but the media kept it concealed. After a few years, it became more noticeable until finally the CNN News televised Biden-Trump Presidential debate in June exposed the whole world to Joe’s obvious cognitive struggles.
There was no more hiding the truth – the party couldn’t allow Joe to continue if it had any hope of winning in 2024.
The press, long a reliable supporter of Biden, realized the cat was out of the bag. Joe was a mess, and no amount of phony reporting and talking-heads cheerleading could disguise or excuse it.
Time to call the Bull Pen.
Disregarding the fact Joe had been selected by numerous states and millions of Primary Election voters to be the Democrat’s 2024 Presidential candidate, behind-the-scenes party bosses decided otherwise and suddenly fired Joe and inserted Kamala in his place.
In effect, Democrats nullified the results of the Primary Election, voided the votes of everyone who cast a ballot for Joe and filed a claim on their insurance policy.
Kamala Harris, a heretofore unexceptional Vice President, was tapped to be the Dems entry in the Presidential category, without receiving a single Primary Election vote, party debate or challenge.
As if an ancient Pharaoh had proclaimed “So let it be written, so let it be it be done.” – a movie quote from the “Ten Commandments,” 1956, by Egyptian Pharoah Ramesses II (Yul Bryner).
Similar to many of Kamala’s quips, the film line was also fictional.
By this time, the “Fix” was consummated: Kamala was in and Joe was out. Simple as that. Joe could lounge on the beach and work on his tan full time — instead of only half the time — while Kam followed orders.
Consequently, we now have a fake candidate, with fake opinions, selected through a fake process to fill the most important position in our federal government.
Can it get any worse?
Sure, it can. This counterfeit coin could be placed into circulation.
