Following the forced ouster of Joe Biden, the Democrats had moved quickly to repackage Kamala Harris, who has been cast by both sides as an inept cackling dolt for the past three and one-half years.
Whoever’s in charge of her campaign is doing their best to keep her away from the media and on a teleprompter least she launch into an incomprehensible verbal rampage about “Ven diagrams” or the “passage of time.”
She’s currently being displayed by them as the salvation of the country after almost four years of buffoonery.
The following headline and article in the Babylon Bee says it best: “’I Will Fix Things If You Vote Me Into Office,’ Says Woman Currently In Office”
With Biden and Harris at the helm, the U.S. has seen a sharp economic decline, rising inflation, waves of illegal immigration into the country, and increased tensions around the globe. Harris urged voters to elect her so that she could find solutions to the things that have been going on since she was elected. “There is only one way to stop the things that are destroying this country,” Harris said. “And that’s by electing the person who has been overseeing the destruction of this country.”
At publishing time, the Harris campaign released a statement telling voters that restoring the peace and prosperity of the Trump administration could only be accomplished by keeping Trump out of office.
I somehow missed the Harris transition from insanity to normal.
The far left has surrounded themselves with sexual deviants, mentally ill people who don’t know their own sex, and want to pass this abhorrence on to our kids or grandchildren as being normal. They have a wide open border with millions of illegals pouring in and going on crime rampages. They put them up in hotels, give them debit cards and tell us the border is secure and that these illegals should be able to vote. And there is so much more…..
The only qualification I can detect for Harris is that her husband, the possible First Gentleman, got his nanny pregnant. As I recall didn’t Biden play that nanny game with wife Jill before she was his wife?

The Voters Will Judge: Last week I reported that lawyer Ashley Cox, a candidate for Circuit Judge 4th Judicial Circuit, Group 34, told a group of mostly Republican members of the Nassau County “We The People” group, that she is a conservative. Her opponent, Nancy Cleaveland, said she too is a conservative.
The difference between the two candidates is that Ms. Cleaveland, a registered Republican, was telling the truth. Ms. Cox, a registered Democrat, was not. Ms. Cox must have assumed that the folks at the session were collectively stupid.
I also reported that Ms. Cox contributed $500 to disgraced Democrat candidate Andrew Gillum’s campaign. I was wrong. She handed $1,500 to the failed and disgraced Democrat Gillum.
A further search reveals that Ms. Cox has donated $3,500 the past few years to Democrat candidates for state and federal office, not a dime to a Republican. That’s not how conservative folks dole out campaign contributions.
In addition to Gillum she gave $500 to Senator Rick Scott’s senatorial opponent Gwen Graham; $500 to Democrat Alex Sink in her losing gubernatorial bid for governor in 2010 and $1000, to Joe Biden through Act Blue, a Democrat PAC.
This alleged “conservative” is a lousy judge of character, as every bet she’s placed lost. This is not the person I want judging others from the bench.
I’ve had several folks personally tell me how much they admire and respect Ms. Cleaveland. The ones that mention Ms. Cox are not complimentary, just the opposite.
On election day, August 20, voters will judge. With my vote I’m ruling in favor of Ms. Cleaveland and sentencing Ms. Cox to remain in private life.

Speaking Of Judges: The following letter written by former California judge Keith M. Alber appeared in the Epoch Times in 2021 under the title “Opinion From a Former Judge.” Even the left leaning Snopes admitted the letter was authentic. Here it is:
Opinion From a Former Judge
I am a student of law whose age is 85. My first year of college was 68 years ago. One class I took was political science. A half-page of my textbook essentially outlined a few steps to overturn a democracy.
1) Divide the nation philosophically.2) Foment racial strife.3) Cause distrust of police authority.4) Swarm the nation’s borders indiscriminately and unconstitutionally.5) Engender the military strength to weaken it.6) Overburden citizens with more unfair taxation.7) Encourage civil rioting and discourage accountability for all crime.8) Control all balloting.9) Control all media.
What was printed in 1954 as a possible diabolic nightmare has become an emerging reality. I hope that Americans will unite enough to pen a good finish – God willing.
Keith M. Alber, California
Snopes contacted Alber over the phone and he admitted he wrote the letter. Alber said he wrote the letter in October 2021 and sent it to The Epoch Times newspaper which printed it.
He said he couldn’t remember the name of the college textbook he referenced, though he recalled having the book in 1954 when he attended “Napa College,” what is now called Napa Valley College.
They asked Alber if he had anything to add regarding his letter, “Opinion From a Former Judge.” He shared the following:
“At the time I read [the steps to overturn a democracy] back in 1954, I thought, ‘That could never happen. That would be a nightmare.’ And it would be disastrous for this country if that ever did happen. Years later, when it was happening, the attempt to achieve those goals was a reality. I became very alarmed. I have pretty much dedicated my life to the justice system and laws. I was a bench officer for 25 years in the Superior Court, and I’ve been interviewed by many news people. I don’t know, I just feel [the current state of the country is] a very sad comment on the public being so dumb.”

Wait! What? “Chicago was less violent when Al Capone ruled the Chicago Outfit. He wouldn’t allow the murder of women and children” wrote Michael Flynn, a former Chicago police lieutenant, in an August 12 Wall Street Journal” Letter To The Editor.”

Fat Men From Space sightings were verified this week, one on the South end of Amelia Island at Bantam & Biddy, the other at PJD’s Beer & Wine Garden in downtown Fernandina Beach.
Here’s what the fat guys’ dispatches had to report:
PJD’s Beer & Wine Garden: This is my kind of place. A downtown location but off the proverbial beaten path.
The 12 South 2nd Street setting offers enough beer (and wine) to satisfy any brewski enthusiast. The atmosphere is nothing like anywhere else in the downtown area. The pajama man proprietor and his awesome staff make sure of it.
If you’re downtown Fernandina Beach and looking for a beer and burger for lunch, and a bit bored, this is the spot for you. You cannot beat the price! For just $I0 you won’t find a better deal. I ordered the bacon burger. It’s a typical pub-style burger. It’s a nice hearty patty with bacon and grilled onions served with French fries.
The fries were good, not great but better than average. However, the burger was damn good. I’m a huge fan of grilled onions on a burger, add bacon and you got yourself a nice quality burger. Ketchup, mustard, and mayo are offered on the side.
Beers? They have a huge beer selection of some 200 to pair with this burger. Not only can you have a good burger with a beer at PJD’S, but you’re also guaranteed some fascinating conversation with locals and entertainment from the pajama man himself. This is not your typical downtown tourist spot.
Bantam & Biddy: Every so often when I’m in the celestial neighborhood, I visit the big blue marble Earth. Then I go looking for a delicious cheeseburger.
Like presidential elections, it’s pretty “hit or miss”, I’ve found. Consider the cheeseburger I had recently at a joint called “Bantam & Biddy” located near the Harris-Teeter grocery store.
While it’s primarily a chicken joint, they have an extensive menu. Called the Doc Bauer Burger, their meaty treat features two patties, cheese, a few rings of a red onion and some sautéed mushrooms atop a gluten-free Brioche bun. How one bakes bread without gluten, escapes me. Maybe someone should ask Doc Bauer…but for $16.99 (Gulp!) you get one side and that’s that.
Call me picky, but who doesn’t want some lettuce and tomato on their burger? Not this time, no gluten, no salad! It’s an average affair with a high price, $18.18 out the door. I enjoyed the deviled egg salad as my side and it was the highlight of the meal, frankly. They have a few other sides available, but I can get fries anywhere on this planet. Each burger bite at this chicken joint costs about $3 bucks and it’s nothing to cluck about.
Grooms and Cook part of the school district/ school board Cabal that lied about millage $$ going to teachers / have not protected our children via a vis obscene books in the school library and much more – All incumbents must be voted out
Why even have a library?
Kamala Harris wants your vote so she can “fix things” but hasn’t she had 3 1/2 years to “fix things” ? Most of our problems occurred under her watch – why should we believe her now ? You may not like Trump for his abrasive personality but are you voting on personality or policies ? Trump proved himself a leader during the 4 years he served as POTUS – look around and see what has occurred under Biden/Harris. Her only REAL job was to act as border Czar and control illegal immigration – she failed that job miserably. The Democrats ran on a platform of “change” when Obama was elected – I agree, we need change …… now.
Trump is anything but a leader. Suggest you listen to the speech that Obama just gave at the DNC. Then listen to his first speech at an earlier DNC which propelled his political career. Those speeches, and all that took place in the many years in between them, exemplify leadership.
Why should we believe anything that Trump says? You ever read the fact checking that is done every time he speaks? Just get someone else GOP.
Because facts talk -take a piece of paper and list, just to name a few e.g.’s 2019 vs 2024….and figure out what world you want to live in
Interest rates
Housing costs
Gas costs
Food costs
World peace
Border control
Crime rates
You mean Snopes, the liberal left wing fact-checker ? Bwahaha !
Thanks Dave I borrowed your judges story an reposted on Facebook. Hope you don’t mind.
Why so hung up on sex?
I have to assume you’re asking your friends on the left that question.
Thanks to the current school board my taxes have gone up by 6% for 5 years in a row. While the county has consistently lowered our millage. The school board has a budget surplus and is considering a millage increase.
Add to that a dodgy land purchase and development deal.
I suggest NO incumbents be reelected.
Furthermore, I believe it’s time to cap school board spending similar to Save our Homes.
Which elected representative will sponsor this initiative?
Loved your Blog this week, Dave (as usual, haha!). Your description of Kamala, and her wanting to “fix things” was perfection! Anyone who would think about voting for her must not know what has gone on for the past 3 and a half years. Or, must not care about how much money they are now spending. Or, must not read the news or watch TV! If only people would watch CNN, FOX, MSNBC, NBC, and others – in order to develop educated opinions, instead of trusting the “indoctrination” of one Network. Everyone has an ‘AGENDA’….it is up to each one of us to do our own research, talk to as many people as possible, from different backgrounds, and to continually try to be informed. I hear a lot of well-educated people tell me things that they merely “quote” from someone else – never verifying anything – or worse, people who just vote Party line, because they have ALWAYS done that. Is it apathy? Laziness? A sense of superiority? No clue. But we must ALL work for what WE know and believe in, NOT what SOMEONE ELSE tells us is true!!
I heard something I always remember:
If you want really want to know the truth, never ask someone who has all the answers!
You ever listen to liberal or moderate media just to see if you might be missing anything?
Yes, APNews reported Kamala had between 225-250 in attendance at her “rally” in Raleigh, NC. Fact Check that, if you will.
This is a very well-written article worth sharing called “The Media Memory Hole”,
https://www.aei.org/op-eds/the-media-memory-hole/?mkt_tok=NDc1LVBCUS05NzEAAAGU_vetlCoIPPKZi66S-EkE-ulDohASrT739VvpMUAzOdr295TaDRwA60AKg2MdIDpAX4SuOAl9HkRYDnxsvrGztk6hzAqeqM25Ih-Q7pxmA7jUMQ
I am astounded at how bad the Democrat party platform, programs and candidates have become. We have a senile, corrupt, far left “President” who seems to have retired in place. The LeftMedia covered for him for four years and before that when he was running, It is obvious that he is mentally and physically quite weak. It is becoming increasingly obvious that he is /was on the take and is far from the “moderate” rebranding he was given by Media/Dems (but I repeat myself).
.
Many of their policies appear to be the antithesis of what is needed- open borders, stop oil/gas, hyperinflation, hyper-spending, absurd green program, baby-killing, NeoCon warmongering policies while wakening our military and scaring away recruits with wokeism and probable death in endless wars, gun bans, censorship, more threatened future “lockdowns,” student loans forgiven and paid for by others, encouraging manufacturing and business flight. Dems insist they have done a great job with the economy, but most is COVID recovery and inflation dollars. When you allow for TRUE inflation, we are in a recession if not a depression. Most new jobs are government, illegal aliens or 2nd/3rd jobs.
.
As For “Cackles” Kamala, she is a national joke inflicted upon us. I have seen doxes of speeches and video excerpts of her words and simply cannot believe that the Democrats, Media, our nation would allow this to be inflicted on us. But she was actually briefly ahead in the polls a week ago.
.
Then she suddenly came up with that Marxist nebbish as her proposed Vice-Presidential candidate. Their opposition is rapidly vetting their disastrous choice. The convention should be interesting, Will they allow it to become a rerun of 1968?
.
Whatever faults Trump has, his policies and ability to get things done are far superior to anything the Democrats have offered us.
All school district elected incumbents running need to be ousted. They have all rubberstamped Supt. Burns’ anti-transparency, pro-obscene school library books, woke social studies/history books, woke mental health assistance, high teacher turnover, poor morale, poor discipline, big spending administration. Their so called “A” rating is actually in the 60’s. Higher scores are easier when you have a fraction of the minority/poor population of the typical state district. Someone’s doing a good job hiring teachers in spite of all this though. There are very qualified alternatives running for school board- Kristi Simpkins and Roody Joinville.
Cox is less partisan and gets my vote.
Cox is a Gilliam supporter and spending almost $400k on this election with big donor law firms
She said at candidate forums she’s a conservative but yet a registered democrat
I support Roody Joinville because he is the “Parent Whisperer”
That’s pathetic. Explain yourself if you truly intend to make a persuasive argument.
Dave, Kamala and her cohort seem to be congenital economic illiterates (or is that innumerates?). Socialism killed 100 million people in the 20th century, but according to Kamala and her ilk, that’s only because it wasn’t quite the right configuration. In the 21st century, they will get it finely tuned at last – and we shall all bask in the warm glow of “neighborliness.”
