One night when I was ten years old, I became so afraid that I was unable to move for hours. At the end of that long night, I decided to never be afraid of anything again and I haven’t, until now. I hate to admit it, but today I’m afraid. I’m afraid of all that Kamala Harris stands for and all of the people who tell me that she deserves to be our next president because it’s time for a woman to be elected president.
Abraham Lincoln is believed to have said, “You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.” Whether he said it or not, the statement is true. As I see it, the problem is there are more of the “people” today being fooled all of the time.
I see the Harris presidential campaign as a cross between the Obama campaign and the Biden campaign. Obama told us he wanted “hope and change.” It was brilliant, everyone was free to define what hope and change meant to them. They just didn’t understand that the change would mean America was no longer going to be the leader of the free world. Obama wanted America to lead the world “from behind.” Today, if you’re honest, you can see that wasn’t such a good idea.
Biden’s strategy was to hide in his basement. He rarely had a news conference and when he did venture out of the basement he only went to friendly venues. He also had the news media to disparage Donald Trump 24/7 while at the same time hiding his own inadequacies. We can also see how that has affected the country.
Many of the things Harris says on the campaign trail sound good if you don’t think too hard. What does she mean when she says ”we need to build the economy from the middle out.” or when she says, “we need to forget the past and have a new way forward.” or we need to “build an opportunity economy and lower costs for families.” Again, like Obama we are left to our own imagination to define what she is saying, and like Biden, the media is covering for her by not asking her questions about what she really means when she says these things.
She once said, “I believe in the old adage that as goes California, so goes the country.” In the past four years we have seen that she was right. California is on the way to ruin, and this country isn’t fairing much better with crime, homelessness, inflation, the border, the human smuggling, drug smuggling, and the violent gangs moving into cities all over America.
Harris is spending a lot of time mocking much of what Trump says. When she was talking about Trump’s pledge to deport illegal aliens, she asked the question “how would that work.” She went on to say, “How is that going to happen, massive raids, massive detention camps, what are they talking about?” I find this statement perplexing. Not too long ago she announced that she was in favor of confiscating every gun in America. When asked how she would accomplish this, she stated that she would have authorities go into people’s homes to get them.
It appears to me that much of what Harris believes was learned from Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals. Alinsky outlined 13 rules for the liberals to use to defeat the Right. Rule #1 “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” Rule #3 “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy. Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety, and uncertainty.” Rule #5 “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating.” Rule #11 “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.” Rule # 13 “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it, cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy.” I am seeing the Left using these rules every day to defeat Trump.
One could make a good argument that Kamala Harris is a Marxist. She may have learned these things from her father, Donald J. Harris who wrote the textbook, “Capital Accumulation and Income Distribution.” Maybe this is why she never talks about him.
There are two clear choices in this next election. When Trump was president I had more money in my pocket, there was less crime from Illegals, there were fewer deaths form drugs, especially Fentanyl, we didn’t hear about human trafficking in the news, the border was much more secure, there wasn’t a war on cops, inflation was low, people could afford to go to the grocery store and the gas station, there was peace in the Middle East and Ukraine, and no one was trying to kill our president. There is much more I could name, but this is enough for you to get the idea about what has gone wrong in America the last three plus years. Yes, there was chaos in America, but most of it came from the Left as they attacked President Trump, and they are still trying to undermine his presidency and currant campaign.
We have now just learned from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that 13,099 illegals are murderers, 15,811 illegals have been convicted of sexual assault and 425,431 illegals have convicted criminals for a myriad of crimes have been let into this country through our porous border. The scariest part of these statistic, we have no idea where these people are.
The choice is yours in November. To me it’s an easy choice. Do you want the chaos from the Left while they continue demonize Trump and misrepresent all that he says, or are you content with all the chaos in the world that we have been experiencing these past few years?
