JC: Kamala Odds On to Lose

In a Trump v Harris match up, Harris is doing worse in the crucial Rust Belt swing states than Biden.

The media can drool over Kamala Harris as much as they like but, as with the denial of Biden’s dementia, the public are once again having the wool pulled over their eyes. The only positive she has over Trump is her age. In terms of ability, if she has any, she’s keeping it well hidden.

Melanie Phillips: The Democrats' Proposed Banana Republic

I wrote here that the American Democratic party had become the party of hate. Subsequent events have not only amply confirmed that view but further suggest that the Democrats now pose a real threat to America, in terms of both physical violence and a threat to due process and the US constitution.

Two days after the Senate confirmed Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s appointment to the Supreme Court, Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell told a press conference that GOP senators were “literally under assault” during the confirmation process.

“These demonstrators, I’m sure some of them were well-meaning citizens. But many of them were obviously trying to get in our faces, to go to our homes. Basically almost attack us in the halls of the capitol. There was a full-scale effort to intimidate.”
