Law Enforcement Group Backing Kamala Harris Exposed as a Sham Matt Margolis Did you hear the story about a national law enforcement organization that came out and endorsed Kamala Harris? The group, Police Leaders for Community Safety, made their endorsement Monday via press release. “This endorsement reflects Vice President Harris’ track record and unwavering commitment to public safety and the rule of law,” said Sue Riseling, Chair of Police Leaders for Community Safety. “As police leaders who have led law enforcement agencies and the major national law enforcement leadership groups, we know first-hand what it will take to make our communities safer – and that includes having Kamala Harris as our next President." The Harris-Walz campaign gloated over the endorsement. The liberal media also fell over themselves reporting on it, pushing the narrative that it was a stunning snub of former President Donald Trump. "A group of national law enforcement leaders have endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris weeks after the National Fraternal Order of Police backed former President Donald Trump," reported USA Today. One outlet even claimed the group "normally backs Trump." There's just one problem. This group didn't even exist until a few months ago. Even USA Today noted in its report that the Police Leaders for Community Safety organization "was created in [June] 2024 as a non-partisan 501(c)4, and describes itself as an organization that represents dozens of police officials." Recommended: Did the Biden-Harris DOJ Put a Bounty on Trump’s Head? Founded in June of this year? Dozens of police officials? USA Today pitched the endorsement as somehow on par with Trump's endorsement by the Fraternal Order of Police, which was founded in 1915 and has 373,000 members as of last year. I wouldn't be shocked to find out this group was established specifically as a faux non-partisan organization that will routinely endorse Democrats, to serve as a counterbalance to the law enforcement groups that don't endorse the party that wants to defund them. https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2024/09/24/law-enforcement-group-backing-kamala-harris-exposed-as-a-sham-n4932798

Ashli Babbitt $30 million ‘wrongful death’ suit gets green light.

The watchdog group Judicial Watch, which is helping in the lawsuit filed by Babbitt’s husband, Aaron, revealed that Judge Ana C. Reyes of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia scheduled a trial date of July 20, 2026, for the $30 million wrongful death suit. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/washington-secrets/3163229/ashli-babbitt-wrongful-death-suit-green-light/ ,

Perfect Biden-HARRIS Metaphor: Only Navy Oiler in Middle East Runs Aground, Springs Leaks. If there ever was a need for a poster child for the neglect and indifference that characterizes the Biden-HARRIS administration’s attitude towards governance, someone now could easily slap up a picture of the USNS Big Horn. The ship’s sad story has all the elements that are now bedeviling the Americans it serves thanks to the malevolent, arrogant, indifferent clowns who currently rule over us. Almost a year ago, I wrote something I headlined, “US Maritime Woes: God Forbid We Go to War.” I was trying to shine a light on the utterly shameful, almost downright criminal neglect with which the Biden-HARRIS administration had treated our US Merchant Marine Fleet. It operates under the auspices of the US Maritime Administration (MARAD), which belongs to the Department of Transportation (aka Mayor Pete) – perhaps you’re already beginning to sense part of the problem if you don’t remember or haven’t read the column. The administration has an “admiral” named as head of MARAD, one RADM Ann Phillips, who has performed exactly as damn near any other Biden cabinet secretary, particularly Mayor Pete – they haven’t seen her.

What happens when your liberal 'friends' turn on you. "In public... Mr. Zuckerberg is declining to engage with Washington except when necessary. In private, he has stopped supporting programs..." "... at his philanthropy that could be perceived as partisan, and he has tamped down employee activism at Meta said [friends, advisers, and executives], who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to do so or did not want to jeopardize their relationships with Mr. Zuckerberg.... 'The political environment, I think I didn’t have much sophistication around, and I think I just fundamentally misdiagnosed the problem,' Mr. Zuckerberg said during a recent interview at a live podcast event in San Francisco. Last month, Mr. Zuckerberg publicly expressed regret around some of his political activity in a letter to Congress. He said that in 2021, the Biden administration 'pressured' Meta into censoring more Covid-19 content than Mr. Zuckerberg felt comfortable with. And he said he would not repeat the contributions he made in 2020 to support electoral infrastructure because the gifts made him appear not 'neutral.' Mr. Zuckerberg’s evolution has drawn comparatively little attention compared to that of tech titans like Elon Musk... But it is also reflective of a larger shift in Silicon Valley, where chief executives have grown frustrated with contentious social issues. Their response has largely been to back away from it." From "Mark Zuckerberg Is Done With Politics/He was once a backer of liberal causes. Then everyone seemed to turn on him. Now he wants to stay away from politics — if that’s possible" (NYT). https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/24/technology/mark-zuckerberg-trump-politics.html?smid=url-share https://althouse.blogspot.com/2024/09/in-public-mr-zuckerberg-is-declining-to.html

NEW: Kamala Harris Using Soros-Funded Fake News Sites to Lie to Voters Surprise, surprise, Kamala Harris is using a network of fake news sites to help prop up her campaign and mislead voters about her level of support. On Monday, the official "Kamala HQ" account posted a headline that read "Polish Pennsylvanians Endorse Kamala Harris Over Putin, Ukraine Concerns." The source was a supposed news outlet named "The Keystone Newsroom." What the Harris campaign was trying to do was clear. Local news outlets are typically more trusted than national outlets by the residents of a given state. By pushing a headline bragging about a major endorsement from "The Keystone Newsroom," an air of credibility is given to the claim. The truth of the matter is far more insidious, though. Greg Price did some digging and figured out how the money is flowing and who is coordinating with who. Click on the Show More... The game being played is simple. The Soros-funded "Courier Newsroom" starts a bunch of "local" news sites that are presented as completely unbiased and non-partisan. Those dark-money sites then publish positive headlines about Kamala Harris based on objectively false claims. In this case, the headline states that "Polish Pennsylvanians," a community of nearly 800,000 people, have endorsed her. The truth is that the "endorsement" was just a letter written by four Democrat politicians. At that point, the only thing left is for Harris' official campaign account to share the headline and pretend it's a huge win. https://redstate.com/bonchie/2024/09/24/revealed-kamala-harris-using-soros-funded-fake-news-sites-to-push-falsehoods-n2179699

A FRIEND SENDS A PREDICTION: “Wild guess, we’re due for a fake assassination attempt on Kamala they’ll blame on Trumpy rhetoric. Dominant storyline the next 6 weeks.” Yep. Got rid of the Trump assassination attempts in something closer to 6 hours, but this will be different. And probably racist, notwithstanding that Janet Jackson says Kamala isn’t black. by Glenn Reynolds https://instapundit.com/674298/

I'm glad we are dialing down the rhetoric. Did Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski correct him ? LOL.

Kamala Harris Campaign to Visit Border Friday; CNN Not Impressed Kamala Harris is scheduled to campaign this Friday in Arizona, where sources say the border czar will visit the border. The 2020 presidential candidate who campaigned on decriminalizing illegal immigration and defunding ICE has decided she needs to make a second trip to the border to show how serious she is about securing it. Will she, as in her ads, show Donald Trump's wall in the background? Nice way of saying she is a liar. https://twitchy.com/brettt/2024/09/24/kamala-harris-campaign-to-visit-border-friday-cnn-not-impressed-n2401364

The campaign's response was to not address the questions he asked directly but instead to deliver a generalized statement that indicated Harris "supports the bipartisan border bill, and would sign it," which was a roundabout way of saying she would still support keeping the CHNV plan in place (since the border bill would leave that program unchanged). Though it goes without saying, I'm gonna say it anyway: If Kamala Harris is only doing "interviews" with Democrat-friendly media outlets and the handlers/surrogates who she has tasked with speaking on her behalf don't (or won't) give straight answers to questions asked of them by the press, then from who are we supposed to get the answers? https://redstate.com/sister-toldjah/2024/09/24/new-reporter-shines-spotlight-on-media-tactic-from-kamala-harris-handlers-that-should-concern-everyone-n2179727

BUT THE NARRATIVE! A lie goes around the world before the truth is even out of bed. by Charles Glasser Every dope and his brother (or sister) regurgitating the DNC’s talking points will insist — as if it were gospel — that Trump “encouraged” and “incited” the January 6th riots. Kamala Harris said in the debate that: “On that day, the president of the United States incited a violent mob to attack our nation’s capital, to desecrate our nation’s Capitol. On that day, 140 law enforcement officers were injured, and some died.” This is pure ipse dixit. (A legal term for bullsh*t.) Leave aside the fact that the implication that the riot “caused” any law enforcement deaths is wholly unfounded; leave aside the fact that Harris never had the decency or courage to acknowledge Ashley Babbitt’s death; leave aside that as for an “insurrection” those people couldn’t organize a f@rt after a Hungarian dinner. The media has continued to propel this “conventional wisdom.” But not so fast. JustTheNews has released sworn testimony that Trump had tried in vain to have the military or National Guard protect the capitol from protestors well before Jan. 6. And wouldn’t you know: “[General] Milley confirmed a second time during the interviews that Trump was clear in his wishes. “It was just what I just described, which was, ‘Hey, I don’t care if you use Guard, or soldiers, active-duty soldiers, do whatever you have to do. Just make sure it’s safe,” the general told the IG.” The Deep State smiles: “[Rep.] Loudermilk during his subcommittee’s ongoing probe of Jan. 6 security failures show civilian leadership at the Pentagon admittedly openly they would not comply with Trump’s wishes, with some saying they did not like the optics of armed soldiers or Guardsmen roaming the Capitol with weapons during what was supposed to be a peaceful transition of power. (Emphasis added)” Optics. Freakin’ optics. Somehow I suspect no great strategist — from Sun Tsu to Von Clausewitz to Guderian to Georgy Zhukov to G.S. Patton — ever placed “optics” above efficacy. “There was absolutely — there is absolutely no way I was putting U.S. military forces at the Capitol, period,” [Defense Secretary Christopher Miller] told the inspector general during his March 2021 interview. But in my dotage I have come to realize that that stupid people will believe only what they want to believe: “He’ll put you back in chains.” “There are no U.S. troops in any combat zone.” “Trump is the architect of Project 2025” “I inherited the worst inflation ever and fixed it.” “JD Vance is simultaneously a stupid redneck and a privileged Ivy League white boy.” https://instapundit.com/674218/ https://justthenews.com/accountability/watchdogs/bombshell-transcripts-trump-urged-use-troops-protect-capitol-jan-6-was
