The election is approaching, and the polls indicate that it’s close.  If Democrats wind up on the short end of the contest, perhaps they will conclude that they may have been better served by running a candidate of proven ability, who ran on the issues.  The Democrat campaign has done anything but that.

Who the proper Democrat candidate could have been is open for debate, however, as the list of Democrats of proven ability, who advance policies that are desired by a majority of Americans is quite short, if not non-existent.  The reason for this is twofold.  First, the heart of the Democrat Party has been hijacked by Leftist crazies, who are advancing Socialist, if not outright Marxist positions.  Simply put, no rational Democrat candidate can be nominated when the bulk of Democrat primary voters are nuts.

Secondly, and most importantly, it’s been impossible for Democrats to run on issues affecting Americans because they are so obsessed with hatred of Donald Trump that they have little time for mundane things like runaway inflation, 20 million illegal alien invaders coming over the border, the threat of world war, and deadly natural disasters.

No part of any Democrat political ad, debate answer, or other talking point in this campaign has said, “This is why you should vote for Kamala.”  100% of the Democrat line has been, “Trump is bad.”  “Trump is an existential threat to democracy,” and “Trump is – fill in the blank – Hitler, Stalin, you get the picture.”

Their Trump Derangement Syndrome obsession is likely the reason that Trump has been the victim of assassination attempts.  The media has kept up the “Trump is Hitler” drumbeat for eight years.  Media imbeciles have wrung their hands, worrying that, if reelected, Trump will imprison them.  Formerly noted historian, Michael Beschloss, has even pondered whether recording history will be permitted after a new Trump term.  This is rich, as it comes from the Party that itself is erasing history.

The media whores are worried about retaliation from Trump with good reason.  They have been relentlessly lying about and screwing the man for 8 years.  But their stated fears are simply part of their anti-Trump attack.  He was president for four years, and unlike Il Duce Obama, Trump never tried to prosecute journalists.  Here’s a tip.  If you want to stop feeling guilty, stop screwing Trump.

Kamala has called Trump an existential threat.  In July, Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden told donors “It’s time to put a bullseye on Trump.”  The next week, he was shot in Pennsylvania.  Should that be a surprise?  If a simple-minded Democrat is convinced that Trump is no better than Hitler, and that he is an existential threat to democracy, then wouldn’t killing him be justified?  The assassination attempt in Butler, and the second attempt in Florida taught Democrats nothing.  Commerce Secretary Raimondo later said, “Trump must be extinguished.”

And at the same time that they’re stirring up hatred for Trump which puts his life in danger, Democrats continue their incessant bald-faced lying, which is the central theme of their campaign.  Democrats, who warn that “democracy is on the ballot,” tell the unsuspecting that Trump will cancel the First Amendment, at the same time they are complaining about the “problem” of free speech.

Recently, I saw a car with a Harris/Walz sticker on it, along with another which said “Democracy Matters.”  I wish I could have spoken to its driver.  Our form of government is guaranteed by the same Constitution that Democrats view as an obstruction, rather than the supreme law of the land.

I had some questions, like, if Democracy Matters, why is your Party opposed to the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the Supreme Court (Article III) and the Electoral College (Article II)?  No matter.  I’m sure they couldn’t tell me.

The Democrat campaign consists of lies and fear-mongering, but you can hardly blame them.  It’s not as though they can run on the issues.  The economy, the border invasion, crime, national security, you name it, and the Democrats have made it worse the last four years.  The illegal alien invasion, coupled with crippling high interest rates, have fueled a housing crisis.  The inventory of homes for sale is dwindling, jacking up sale prices, and the monthly mortgage payment is up from $2100 to $3300.  People are hurting, struggling to put food on the table.  Yet through it all, Kamala Harris preaches “the politics of joy.”  I guess it’s true, ignorance must be bliss.

The point is, today’s Democrat Party is a far cry from the Party from which John F. Kennedy launched his New Frontier.  “Ask not what your country can do for you,” has become “Ask not whether migrants are criminals,” “Ask not if a voter is an American citizen,” and “Ask not about our $36 trillion debt, we’ll just print more money.”  JFK would be unwelcome in today’s Democrat Party, just as his nephew RFK, Jr. found himself so unwelcome that he’s supporting Trump.  The truth is, anyone, or anything, sane, reasonable, and prudent is unwelcome in the Democrat Party.

FDR, at the depths of the Great Depression, told Americans they had “nothing to fear but fear itself.”  Fueled by their raging Trump Derangement Syndrome delusions, today’s Democrats are running for election on a new slogan, “We have nothing to sell but fear itself.”

They can’t sell you lower taxes, they want to raise them.  They can’t sell you national security, we’re on the brink of world war.  They can’t sell you a thriving economy, inflation is eating consumers alive.  They can’t sell you personal safety, crime is rampant, and they’re opposed to law enforcement.  And they can’t sell you job security, because they just admitted 20 million illegal aliens who will do your job for half your pay.

But November is at hand, and Democrats want your vote.  The Harris campaign of “Joy” seems anything but joyful, as she scolds and shrieks her way toward the election.  All the joy seems to be with the Trump campaign, as he takes the time to speak with real people, even working the fryer and the drive-up window at a McDonald’s.  Here’s some advice.  Don’t buy the Democrat lies.  Don’t buy the Democrat hype.  Don’t get caught up in their fear-mongering.  Tell the Democrats – No Sale.

Last week my faith in journalism was bolstered a bit by the speech Matt Taibbi made to the Rescue the Republic Forum.  His subject was the assault on free speech both here and abroad, and he proved that at least one journalist understands what’s at stake.  Here are part of his remarks.

Because “freedom of speech” is now frequently described as a stalking horse for hate and discrimination — the UN High Commissioner Volker Türk scolded Elon Musk that “free speech is not a free pass” — it’s becoming one of those soon-to-be-extinct terms.  Speech is mentioned in “reputable” media only as a possible vector for the informational disease known as misinformation.

The end game is not controlling speech. They’re already doing that. The endgame is getting us to forget we ever had anything to say …

After that I realized every American has a little bit of asshole in him. William Blake said, “Always be ready to speak your mind and a base man will avoid you.”  Some struggle with this concept.  Americans are born knowing it …

Incidentally propaganda is the same trick I saw in that restaurant.  It’s always someone trying to make you feel bad for their weakness, their mistakes.  Don’t be ground down by it.  Stand up straight and give it back.

Which is why I say: Kerry, Hayden, Cheney, Adam Schiff, Craig Newmark, Reid Hoffman, Pierre Omidyar, Leon Panetta, and especially that Time editor turned self-appointed censor Rick Stengel should be packed in a rocket and launched into the fucking sun.

Let’s be clear about our language.  Madison famously eschewed the word toleration or tolerance when it came to religion and insisted on the words freedom or liberty instead.  This became the basis for the Virginia Declaration of Rights, which in turn became the basis for the Bill of Rights.  That’s why we don’t have “toleration of religion” or “toleration of speech.”  We have freedom of speech.  The right word for the right time.

To the people who are suggesting that there are voices who should be ignored because they’re encouraging mistrust or skepticism of authority, or obstructing consensus: I’m not encouraging you to be skeptical of authority.  I’m encouraging you to DEFY authority.  That is the right word for this time.

To all those Snoops and Nosey Parkers sitting in their Homeland Security-funded “Centers of Excellence,” telling us day after day we must think as they say and vote as they say or else we’re traitorous Putin-loving fascists and enablers of “dangerous” disinformation:

Motherfucker, I’m an American.  That shit does not work on me.  And how can you impugn my patriotism, when you’re sitting in Klaus Schwab’s (World Economics Forum) lap, apologizing for the First Amendment to a crowd of Europeans?  Look in the mirror.

I’m not the problem.  We’re not the problem.

You’re the problem.  YOU SUCK!

Thank you.

Wow!  Thank you Matt Taibbi.  At least one journalist has figured out that, once you let the censors into the tent, there will be no stopping them.  The wonder is why every other journalist hasn’t figured out that, after they silence Trump and Elon Musk, their own freedom of the press is next on the chopping block.

To quote Joe Biden, “No joke.”  The assault on free speech is well underway.  Hillary Clinton said that social media companies must moderate content on their platforms or else “we lose total control.”  She wants to see more done by the federal government to moderate content, including lawsuits and criminal charges.  Hillary went to Yale, and is supposed to be a lawyer.  Maybe, since 1791, word hasn’t reached Yale that the content of speech is the very thing the First Amendment was enacted to protect.

John Kerry has described the First Amendment as a “major block” to the federal government stopping what it deems to be “disinformation.” Kerry wants “Progressives” to “implement change.”  Kerry went so far as to say “Democracies around the world now are struggling with the absence of a sort of truth arbiter, and there’s no one who defines what facts really are.”

Two questions.  How can the unconstitutional stripping of individual freedoms be considered “progressive?”  And, would you be comfortable with somebody from the government, let’s say Karine Jean Pierre, as the Arbiter of Truth, and approver of all speech?  Since they’re still allowing us to vote on November 5th, I would vote against that Party.

And those two 80 year old gargoyles (Clinton and Kerry) are far from the only opponents of free speech in public life.  Adam Schiff (for brains) and a group of other Democrats have introduced a proposed constitutional amendment to overturn the Citizens United decision, one of the greatest free-speech victories in history, which protects political speech.

The Schiff amendment would overturn Citizens United, and thus the First Amendment, and empower state and federal governments to enact “reasonable,” “viewpoint-neutral” limitations on speech that “influences” elections.  Of course, somebody like Karine Jean Pierre or Hillary Clinton would decide what speech was “reasonable” and “viewpoint neutral.”  So put me down as a “No.”

“Free speech is killing us,” headlined a New York Times op-ed.  Its author was staff writer Andrew Marantz.  He argued that “hate speech” leads to violence, can cause totalitarianism, and even genocide.  Marantz wants to “rethink” (cancel) the First Amendment.  Vice-Presidential candidate Tim Walz agrees, saying that the First Amendment doesn’t protect disinformation or “hate speech.”

The First Amendment jurisprudence of our Supreme Court does not recognize anything called “hate speech.”  And even if it did, once again, who gets to decide what it is?  The term “hate speech” is nothing more than a leftist plot to scare you into giving up your God given rights.

The simple minded chorus of free speech deniers gets louder each day,  as the election grows closer.  In the aftermath of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, Trump, and other Republicans complained that DHS spent $1 billion on illegal aliens, and now is short of funds for natural disasters.  Democrats yelled “foul” and said it was untrue.  Biden called it “Unamerican.” It’s one example of the kind of speech Democrats want to censor as “misinformation.”

However, there are two problems.  First, there is no constitutional way to censor misinformation in a political campaign or anywhere else, and as I’ve observed previously, you couldn’t run a decent political campaign without misinformation.  Secondly, everything the Republicans said was true. The information came from Mayorkas himself, who said the Department was out of money, and from the DHS website.  If Democrats get their way the only “information” you will be permitted to hear is whatever shit the government decides to peddle as the truth.

Then again, using the Left’s test, maybe what DHS itself said was misinformation.  Somebody better call Hillary to get a ruling on that.  Matt Taibbi was right.  I’m not the problem.  We’re not the problem.  They are the problem.  THEY SUCK!  Thank you.

Indulging nostalgia may be a sign of advancing age, but I can’t help longing for the Good Old Days.  The days, not so long ago, when our world was normal.  Remember Normal?  That’s a question often posed by conservative talk show host Chris Plante (WMAL radio 105.9 9-noon, and NewsMax TV).  Chris Plante even sells “Remember Normal?” apparel.  It’s a pertinent question these days because the concept of normality (or what President Warren G. Harding called “normalcy”) has been stood on its head.

The things that used to be normal are normal no longer.  Once, politicians from both Parties agreed that illegal immigration was unacceptable.  Not anymore.  Once, all officials agreed that law enforcement was beneficial and necessary.  Not anymore.  Once, all officials agreed that excessive public debt was ruinous and unacceptable.  Not anymore.  And most importantly, once, we had journalists who saw it as their duty to uncover government corruption and malfeasance.  But not anymore.

In less than a month you have a choice to make.  It’s a stark choice, between two diametrically opposed visions of the future.  It’s not a political choice any longer, not simply a choice between two political Parties.  It’s a choice between a future of freedom,  normalcy and plenty, or one of fear, servitude and deprivation.  As Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden says, “No lie.”

This is not an election where we must choose the lesser of two evils.  This time, Democrats have cornered the market.  Kamala Harris clearly represents both the lesser and the evil.  Which is not to say that I view Donald Trump through rose colored glasses.  He’s not perfect.  None of us is.  But when we weigh the blunt, braggadocios, abrasive, billionaire business man against the lying, hiding, vacuous, Socialist wrecking ball that is Kamala Harris, it’s no contest.

LBJ was fond of quoting his mentor, Sam Rayburn, who taught that, “Any jackass can kick down a barn, but it takes a carpenter to build one.”  The 2024 election is a contest between the Carpenter and the Jackass.

Consider their backgrounds.  Trump the real estate developer and builder.  Sure, he grew up in a well to do family, but that’s no vice.  The woods are full of heirs to businesses who turned millions into thousands.  It’s the rare heir who has the ability to turn millions into billions.  Donald Trump is such a man.  Kamala, on the other hand, is a creature of government, who’s been handed every job she’s ever had, including the presidential nomination.

And as for all the lying hand-wringing about Trump, the threat to freedom and democracy, remember this – only one candidate in this election has a proven track record of accomplishment.  We need not speculate about what Trump will do because he’s done it already.

In his first term, Trump gave us lower taxes, higher wages, no inflation, low energy prices, energy independence, a secure border, law and order, greatly improved trade agreements, no wars, and China, Iran, Russia and North Korea under control.  He can do it all again, and we need it more now than in 2016.

On the other side of the ledger we have Kamala, the heir to the legacy of Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden.  Harris and Biden took each of the accomplishments listed in the above paragraph and made every one of them worse.  Runaway inflation has stolen the bread from the table of every American.  The world in on the brink of war.  The admission of millions of illegal aliens has cost us billions, sacrificed our safety, overburdened our schools, housing and hospitals, and put the jobs of millions of Americans at risk.

In a rare interview, Kamala was asked whether admitting the millions of invaders was a mistake.  As usual, she dodged and dithered.  “It’s a longstanding problem.  And solutions are at hand.  And from day one, literally, we have been offering solutions.” The reporter pressed her, “What I was asking was, was it a mistake to kind of allow that flood to happen in the first place?”  Harris replied that “The policies that we have been proposing are about fixing a problem, not promoting a problem.”  It was no mistake.  Erasing the border was Democrat policy.

Kamala is often accused of spouting word salad, but that’s a euphemism.  She’s not a word salad purveyor, she’s a lying bullshit artist.  She’s not fixing any problem.  She and her senile boss created the problems, and their actions have proven more ruinous than anyone suspected.

Democrats bashed Trump for saying that the illegal alien invaders were coming here from prisons and asylums, remember?  Last week we were informed, by the Immigration and Naturalization Service that, among the untold millions of illegal aliens Kamala let loose on unsuspecting Americans, are nearly 14,000 convicted murderers, more than 16,000 convicted sex offenders, and more than 400,000 other criminals, convicted of a variety of crimes.  Who does that to their own citizens?  I guess we should have expected as much from the person who raised money to bail out rioters, and as California AG, ensured that convicted murderers could get sex change operations at public expense.   It’s just not normal.

We’re $36 trillion in debt, but Kamala wants to spend several hundred trillion more.  Trump lowered taxes.  Kamala wants to raise them, “to make the rich pay their fair share.”  The top 10% of earners now pay 72% of the taxes, while the bottom 50% pay under 3%.  When do we reach fairness?  Kamala even wants to tax unrealized capital gains.  You bought a stock that doubled in value, but haven’t sold it yet?  The value of your house increased?  Kamala wants 28% of the paper profit.  Where will you get the money?  Forced sales of stock that will crash the market, or a home equity loan so you can transfer your equity to the government.  It’s just not normal.

Kamala and company have supported positions that are designed to destroy America as we have known it.  The military is less concerned with fighting wars than with gender equity and pronoun purity.  The CIA is actively recruiting transgender agents.  Consider that.  The model for a spy is a low profile person, someone who will blend into the crowd.  So does this make sense?

Hardly.  It’s just not normal.

Kamala keeps bleating that it’s time to “turn the page,” by which I guess she means a new president with new policies.  There a a couple of problems with this.  First, she has announced no policy changes.  Secondly, this week, Kamala went on a TV show, The Herd, or was it The View?  Anyhow, one of the heifers asked her, “Would you have done anything different than Biden?”  Surprisingly, the truth slipped out,”There is not a thing that comes to mind.”

That Kamala is on the same inept and dangerous page as Biden became abundantly clear this week, as they proved themselves unable to manage the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, which devastated North Carolina.  Joe Biden, on the beach in Delaware, neglected to mobilize the many nearby military bases to get aid to the area.  When asked about it he said, “What storm?,” and then said the people had everything they need.

Then, after Trump arrived with tractor trailers of food and water for the storm victims, Kamala belatedly visited the D.C. offices of FEMA to boost the morale of the bureaucrats.  This was political malpractice, and a blatant disregard for her constituents.  It proved her unfit to lead, and it’s just not normal.

So, soon you need to choose.  Trump likes to say, “Even if you don’t like me, you have to vote for me.”  He’s got a point.  We’re desperately in need of a strong leader.  You can choose normal, or what Mel Brooks once called , “Abby Normal.”  You can have Trump and Vance, or Kamala de Vil and Elmer Fudd.

Not such a hard choice after all, is it?

As the calendar turns from September to October, we’re in the home stretch of the 2024 presidential election.  Trump continues to be Trump, with the outdoor rallies in swing States.  Or at least he tries to continue the rallies.  In an unprecedented abrogation of its responsibilities, the United States Secret Service this week actually told Donald Trump that it was unable to guarantee his safety at a planned outdoor rally in Michigan.  They forced the rally indoors, where of course, Trump’s message could reach far fewer voters than it would have in the outdoor setting.

The reported reason for this action was a lack of manpower, due to the United Nations General Assembly meetings.  Secret Service decided that the protection of corrupt dictators was more important than the protection of a presidential candidate who already has experienced two assassination attempts, and who Secret Service admits is being targeted by Iranian hit squads.  In a word, this is bullshit.

The government is being run by a Party that says it seeks to avoid bad optics.  Remember?  When Trump offered the Democrats 10,000 troops to protect the Capitol on January 6, 2021, they turned it down.  The optics, they said, would be ruined by the presence of troops.

Now, late September 2024, and the Secret Service has fostered the following optics.  While the Secret Service expends resources to protect the President of Iran in New York, the man whose nation openly has announced that it’s going to kill Trump, Mike Pompeo, and other Americans, it is withholding resources to protect a former President of the United States, and current presidential candidate.

If America had real journalists, this would be a scandal.  But we don’t.  And the reality is that 30% of Democrats, and I suspect a greater percentage of so-called journalists actually are rooting for Iran to finish Trump off.  The truth is that this Administration, and its Secret Service: A) don’t care if Trump is killed; and B) are using limited Secret Service protection to hamper Trump’s campaign in swing States.  Example – after protecting Kamala at her Wisconsin rally, they refused to permit Trump to have his rally in Wisconsin.  The fact is, we don’t need foreign meddling in our elections, the Biden-Harris Administration is doing a fine job by itself.

Meanwhile, the Hollywood production that is the Kamala Harris campaign rolls on.  You will recall that we had Kamala – The Sitcom, with her campaign resembling a Show About Nothing.  No plans.  No policies.  And no straight answers to any question.

Much like a sitcom, though, The Kamala Show featured a catchy tagline.  You know, The Big Bang Theory had “Bazinga!”  Fonzie on Happy Days had “Hey!”  Bart Simpson had “Eat my shorts.”  And That Seventies Show had “Burn!”  Not to be outdone, Kamala has “What can be, unburdened by what has been.”

At first, we didn’t know what that line meant, but now we figured it out.  I think it means she can change every position she’s ever held on every issue with impunity.  She can lie to the American people.  And she can continue to hide until election day.  Who knows?  It worked for Biden.

Anyhow, after the sitcom, we had Kamala’s game show, The Price is Wrong, where she announced she would end inflation by prosecuting supermarkets for price gouging, or was that price gauging?  No matter.  Either way it was bullshit.

The game show was followed by the Kamala dramatic series, The Fakest Show on Earth.  This was a mystery series, like Murder She Wrote.  Only it should have been called Bullshit She Spread, because in it, Kamala ducked all real interviews, then sat for a couple of softball sessions with friendly outlets, which perpetuated her lies.  It wasn’t much of a mystery, though, because all the viewers soon figured out, like in Clue, that person who murdered the truth was Kamala, in the studio, with the word salad.

New for October, however, is the next installment of the Hollywood production of Kamala, the candidate.  This one is Kamala, the Musical.  That’s right, they’ve brought back the Broadway production of Camelot, this time, aptly renamed, Skamalot.  The title song is a very catchy tune.

SKAMALOT

Kamala made it plain four years ago man,
A border wall is just medieval rot,
But now she says the wall was always her plan,
It’s Skamalot!

She hopes that voters really won’t remember,
The socialistic policies she’s got,
She needs to keep on lying till November,
It’s Skamalot!

Skamalot! Skamalot!
I know it sounds a bit bizarre,
But in Skamalot, Skamalot,
That’s how conditions are.

She once assured that she would banish fracking,
Today she says that’s simply not the case.
So now she’ll frack for gas,
She’s talking out her ass,
She’s out to fool the uninformed right here in Skamalot.

Skamalot! Skamalot!
It should give a person pause,
That in Skamalot, Skamalot,
This Jackass made our laws.

She used to say all cars must be electric,
But now she says that’s not what she stands for,
Her flip flops may seem strange,
But her values haven’t changed,
Kamala’s just a lying twit,
Right here in Skamalot!

Wow!  That should have them rolling in the aisles over at MSNBC.

The moral of the story is, that no matter how many times the Democrats change the lyrics, the song remains the same.  Kamala Harris is nothing more than an empty pantsuit masquerading as a leader.

The only offices she led in California were political plums supplied by her Sugar Daddy, Willie Brown.  Kamala ran the DA’s office in San Francisco, and then the California Attorney General’s office.  She ran both offices, along with the entire State of California, directly into the ground.  And now she wants to apply her nonexistent talents to the presidency.  “What may be, unburdened by what has been.”  A slogan is not a policy.

Laurence Peter developed what became known as the Peter Principle. (There’s a lot I could do with that, but I’ll stay away from the implications).  The principle is that a person tends to rise to the level of his or her incompetence.  Kamala reached her level long ago, and now has no place to go but down.  Don’t let her take the rest of us with her.

Well, it took us 40 years, but we’ve finally achieved the government that George Orwell warned us about in 1984.  In his book, Orwell described the Ministry of Truth building as a pyramid-shaped structure with slogans on each of its three faces – “War is Peace” “Freedom is Slavery” and “Ignorance is Strength.”  As you might have guessed, the job of the Ministry of Truth was to perpetuate lies, to help Big Brother keep the populace obedient.

In Orwell’s fictional land of Oceania, Big Brother had the power to offer any lie as the truth.  Anyone who objected to being lied to was dealt with by the Ministry of Love, whose job it was to imprison and torture all dissenters.  To those of you who think America could never turn into such an Orwellian dystopia, hold on to your hats.  I have seen the future, and it’s disturbing.

One of the things that made America the envy of the world is our Constitution and Bill of Rights.  Not because we have one.  Many dictatorships have Bills of Rights that surpass ours.  Check out the Soviet Constitution.  The difference is, Americans actually enjoyed the rights they were promised.  At least so far.

You’d think that with so many lawyers running (or infesting) the government, there would be a reverence for and dedication to the rule of law in general and the supreme law of the land, the Constitution, specifically.  But there isn’t.  An alarming number of so-called constitutional scholars from prestigious schools are advocating  disregarding or summarily changing the Constitution to help the Left succeed.

A sane law professor, Johnathan Turley, sounded the alarm recently in a Wall Street Journal op ed.  Erwin Chemerinsky, the dean of UC Berkeley Law School (Harvard Law School, 1978), wrote a book complaining that the Constitution threatens the U.S.   He describes conservative justices as “partisan hacks.”  (Apparently the three liberals on the Court who rubber stamp every Leftist policy aren’t hacks).  New York Times critic Jennifer Szalai (London School of Economics) decries “Constitution worship,” writing that, “Americans have long assumed that the Constitution could save us; a growing chorus now wonders whether we need to be saved from it.”  You get that?  The Constitution guarantees all of our rights, but we must cancel our rights to save ourselves from it.  Orwell would be so proud.

In 2022, law professors Ryan Dorfler (Harvard) and Samuel Moyn (Yale) called for liberals to “reclaim America from constitutionalism.”  Other “scholars” deride what they call “rights talk,” railing against individual rights, the very thing that the Bill of Rights was enacted to protect, and the very thing that, as law professors, these numb sculls are supposed to be teaching their students.

Professor Barbara McQuade (Michigan) calls free speech (which is Number One on the Bill of Rights Hit Parade) “America’s Achilles heel.”  Professor Tim Wu (Columbia) says, free speech “now mostly protects corporate interests” and threatens “essential jobs of the State” like protecting national security.” Sieg heil Tim.

Professor Mary Ann Franks (Harvard) complains that the First and Second Amendments are too “aggressively individualistic” and are a danger to “domestic tranquility” and “general welfare.”  Sorry Mary Ann,  but you’re an idiot.  How can a list of individual rights be too individualistic?  And the general welfare clause only applies to things the Constitution authorizes the federal government to do, it doesn’t expand federal rights, and you know it.

Then there are the so-called “journalists.”  MSNBC’s Elie Mystal (Harvard), the guy who’s hairdo looks like he stuck his tongue in the light socket, calls the Constitution “trash,” and wants to abolish the U.S. Senate, without which, the Constitution never would have been ratified.

One of these constitution deniers, Harvard Professor Michael Klarman, is in favor of enacting “democracy- entrenching legislation” designed to ensure that Republicans can never win another election. (You know, “democracy”).  But he’s worried.  “The Supreme Court could strike down” their unconstitutional Acts, “and that’s something the Democrats need to fix.”  His pal, Professor Dorfler, says that all  “tools of retaliation,” like defunding the Court, should be used.

In fairness, not all Democrats favor an end to all free speech.  They’re willing to permit speech that originates in the government, and all speech that they have preapproved, to prevent the spread of “disinformation.”  You remember disinformation.  In 2016, 51 lawyers and intelligence community operatives said the Hunter Biden laptop was “Russian disinformation.”  Well, maybe that’s a bad example.

From 2016 to 2018, government officials told us they were sure that Trump was colluding with the Russians.  Uh, let’s not go there.  Oh yes, from 2020 to 2023 they told us people who said Covid came from China, that there were available treatments for Covid, and that the Covid vaccines didn’t work, and were dangerous for some people, were spreading disinformation.  No, better skip that one too.

You get the idea.  According to Democrats, the government not only is authorized to, but has a duty to decide if what’s being discussed by private citizens is true or not, and if they decide it’s not, is authorized to and must censor it.  If you’re expecting the First Amendment to save you, see above.  Democrats want to save you from the constitutional provision that guarantees you the right to speak your mind.  If you think I’m exaggerating this, then you haven’t been paying attention.

In 2020, in the name of disinformation, the government successfully forced social media and other media outlets to censor the speech of a presidential candidate, as well as that of anyone else who attempted to support him.  It was for our own good, of course.  If they hadn’t cancelled free speech, you might have been exposed to disinformation during an election campaign. (I always thought “disinformation” was a synonym for “election campaign”).

Cancelling the First Amendment for the 2020 election was only the start, however.  The 2024 Democrats say they’ve only just begun.  VP candidate Tim Walz says, “There’s no guarantee to free speech on misinformation and hate speech, especially around our democracy.”     That’s totally wrong and stupid, but he’s not a lawyer, so he’s got an excuse.  Then who gets to decide what is and isn’t true?

Even George Orwell couldn’t dream this one up.  Who’s the last person on Earth you would rely on for the truth?  That’s right, Hillary Clinton.  She’s a lawyer (Yale).  Last week, she told Rachel Maddow (who else?) that the federal government should criminally prosecute, and presumable imprison, Americans who “share propaganda” a/k/a speech.

I shit you not.  As always, the irony was lost on Democrats.  Hillary Clinton, you may recall, was the source of the Steele Dossier, a pack of lies about Trump, propaganda if you will, that she knowingly foisted on the American people, and which caused the two year Mueller investigation.  Christopher Steele later admitted it was untrue.

Hillary, of the illegal email server, the woman who ignored subpoenas and FOIA requests, and who destroyed computer hard drives and deleted 30,000 emails.  Let’s face it, if propaganda was a crime, Hillary would be walking the Green Mile.

But three cheers for the Democrats.  I nominate Hillary for Minister of Truth in the Harris Administration.  We might have to change Ministry of Love to Ministry of Joy.  Jack Smith can run that.  All the elements are present.  The world’s on fire but Kamala says, “War is Peace.”  Tim Walz wants to cancel the Bill of Rights.  “Freedom is Slavery.”  And the media keeps lying to you and you keep pretending to believe it.  “Ignorance is Strength.”  Consider this before you vote.
