On the opening night of the Democratic National Convention, Joe Biden was given the not-so-prime-time slot, 11:30 PM Monday night, for his speech. This was not the place to put a president who Pelosi and other Dems say deserves to be mounted on Mount Rushmore.
The Democratic crowd went wild for Biden, just weeks after he left the presidential race. It confirms the old show business adage: give the people what they want and they will always cheer in appreciation. They are showing Biden the door, something Obama and everyone else on stage with Biden for the past four years has had to do.
The Democratic convention was held in crime-ridden Chicago. The weather was bad and the police were everywhere. Against the background of the conditions, gangs had to postpone several murders. When VP-nominee Tim Walz looked into crime statistics in Democrat-controlled Chicago, he asked if he could delay his posting to Chicago and just Zoom in.
So far, the only policy statement from Kamala is that she will work on inflation by implementing price controls, a Marxist idea that has never worked. You can see that deep down her financial knowledge is very shallow. Kamala Harris is a lifelong government politician. At least the Bidens learned about business by setting up all these shell LLCs and companies to launder their embarrassing money.
Che Guevara, Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Castro, Mussolini, Putin and North Korea’s Kim Jung Un are some of the economic luminaries who used price controls. Recently, President Maduro destroyed Venezuela by imposing price controls to counter the capitalists of the “parasite bourgeoisie”. Slandering capitalism is a superficial and challenging strategy that is always used by the left. This is what Kamala is doing with her only stated economic plan to save us from the inflation the Democrats caused. Let’s call her “Che-mala.”
The Soviet price controls and economic policies show us that the Democrats have drifted far to the left. In their next James Bond movie, Hollywood will portray the villain as a man who eats red meat and refuses to identify his pronouns as “he/him”.
Kamala continues to shamelessly appeal to a group of voters who do not understand economics and just want to be given something by others. A free and fair market is the only way to improve the lives of ordinary people. The story is clear: Socialist intervention scares away capital and capitalists, who are the ones who provide goods and services to people at a fair price.
The media continues to blatantly cover up Kamala’s far-left past. Kamala 5.0 is being created by the DNC in a lab (probably federally funded by Fauci and the NIH) and promoted by the media. They are “reintroducing her.” She has been reintroduced more times than the McRib.
In a recent Media Research Center analysis, 84% of Kamala’s media coverage was positive and 89% of Trump’s coverage was negative. Let it sink in.
Any “grassroots” love for Kamala and Tim Walz is just astroturf. Her henchmen cleared out and staged a visit to a convenience store to buy Doritos in Pennsylvania. They planted friends in a cafe to ask Kamala softball questions. Kamala used child actors rather than ordinary children in a famous staged question and answer. The only question the press got to ask her recently was, “Tell us about the work you’ve done preparing your DNC speech.” A follow-up question might as well have been, “Tell us your favorite color.” Our media is at an all-time low.
Tim Waltz visited Red China 30 times, more times than Dennis Rodman visited North Korea. Kamala was considered the most liberal senator, beating out Bernie Sanders. They all seem to have a fascination with communist policies and their promises: free health care, medical care and education. Yet they fail to mention the three epic failures of Communism to the people: breakfast, lunch and dinner.
