Kamala

I voted already. The mail-in ballot arrived on the 10th; I mailed it on the 11th.  And I voted right. Did you? I also put my money where my mouth is by making a campaign contribution. Did you?

Question: when one votes early by mail is one endorsing mass mail-in voting? I know my answer. What's yours?

Bear in mind that a vote for Kamala is a vote for her puppet masters. She is a fraud, a phony, and a red herring. A vote for Trump will be a vote for a man, his own man, not a puppet. More importantly, it is a vote for policies which he has honestly stated.   In stark contrast, Kamala is a stealth ideologue. She has not come clean, and cannot: she must deceive the easily-deceived electorate to have a chance of winning.

Polls Against Kamal the Phony

I call leftist journalists, 'journos.' It is a term of disapprobation, to put it mildly. Here J. D. Vance blows a journo clean out of the water. And he does it personably and civilly without Trumpian exaggeration or unnecessary vitriol.

Journalists these days, whatever their political affiliation, are on a pretty low level, competing with lawyers for the public's distrust. "Journalism is dead," as Bill O'Reilly used to say. But let's be fair and acknowledge the courage and commitment of journalists on both sides of the political divide who risk their lives to report on the unfolding horrors of our fallen world.  I am thinking in particular of Trey Yingst. But some lefties are courageous as well and deserve our respect.

As for who deserves respect, does James Carville deserve any? Here is his latest outburst.

Trump Derangement Syndrome: A Textbook Case

Liz Cheney's Endorsement of Kamala Harris.  Under nine minutes. Transcript provided. This well-fed matron embodies TDS to a T.  For a 'conservative' to endorse Harris-Walz is like cutting off your nose to spite your face.

If you will permit me a bit of wit, what we have here is RINO-ectomy.

UPDATE 9/8/24

To compound the lunacy of cutting off one's nose to spite one's face, quisling Dick has joined quisling Liz:

The two most prominent Bushies who have taken their ball and gone home in a fit of pique are Dick Cheney and his backstabbing daughter Liz. 

Dick and Liz have thrown their support behind Kamala Harris, which isn't a surprise to anybody. Like all of the Never Trump lunatics, they're trying justify their turncoat ways by saying that they are voting for a commie to save the country and the Republican Party. There's no way to spin that illogical garbage to make any sense, of course. Kamala Harris is a threat to the Constitution and a host of freedoms that we currently enjoy.

Putin Joins Liz Cheney and David French in Endorsing Kamala

Given what he's about, Putin's support for the silly goose makes perfect sense; given what she's supposed to be about, Cheney's make no sense at all but accords perfectly with her terminal TDS.

The Trumpianly deranged are a strange bunch.  The syndrome is not easy to understand. The pathology is on display in these articles:

Dem-Fems for Kamala

Miranda Devine:

As polls show America’s young men are lurching rightward at a rapid pace, the Democratic brand has finally evolved into the party of scolding shrews, nagging Karens and “preachy females,” as Dem dinosaur James Carville calls them.

Its image is tied to a type of unserious, self-involved, neurotic, dogmatic Dem-fem who insists on telling you her pronouns and whose highest goal is abortion on demand right up until the moment of birth. 

She is terrified of men unless they are transgender or submissive “white dudes for Kamala” with man buns. 

Now that Scranton Joe is out of the picture and Kamala is at the helm, the feminizing trend is accelerating the party into certain electoral oblivion (with the obvious caveat for election fraud). 

I am glad that the astute Miranda threw in the caveat. After all, we know a priori that the Dems will cheat their  asses off come November. If the end justifies the means, why not? It worked last time, so they figure it will work again. Compare the race card. The Dems have been playing it for years despite all the respectful, careful, and eminently sane explanations by conservatives that our positions are in no defensible sense of the term 'racist.' Why then don't the lefties listen to sweet reason and stop playing the card? Why don't they be nice and play fair? Because it works for them in attaining and maintaining power and control, which is what they are out for first, foremost, and forever. Power to do what? To tear everything down, so that, somehow, by some magic, utopia will arise. 

For the same reason they can be expected to cheat in the upcoming election.  You need to wake up from 'woke' and realize that our political enemies are just that enemies. They are enemies not just of us, but of the attainable good. They are not good people. I am mainly referring to the cadre Left (the core or skeletal drivers of the movement comprising the true believers, in Eric Hoffer's sense, and the cynics) and not the much larger group of useful idiots, who are morally and intellectually obtuse mediocrities.

It is foolish to underestimate the Kamala crazies, as Newt Gingrich has pointed out.

................

If any Kant aficionados are lurking about, my use of a priori above is the relative sense of the term Kant refers to in the second edition of his Critique of Pure Reason (1787) at B2:

. . . it has been customary to say , even of much knowledge that has been derived from empirical sources, that we have it or are capable of having it a priori, meaning thereby that we do not derive it immediately from experience, but from a universal rule -- a rule which is itself, however, borrowed from experience. Thus we would say of a man who  undermined the foundations of his house, that he might have known a priori that it would fall, that is, that he need not have waited for the experience of its actually falling. But he still could not know this completely a priori. For he first had to learn through experience that bodies are heavy, and therefore fall when their supports are withdrawn. (NKS tr., p. 43)
