“Perfect!” Axis Election Desperation and “Win By Any Means Necessary” Update

I doubt that Ethics Alarms will be able to keep up with the predicted (and coming to pass) pre-election hysteria and ends justify the means overload that the Axis of Unethical Conduct (“the resistance,” Democrats and the mainstream media) are inflicting on the nation as they fear their fake DEI candidate for President will lose, as she so richly deserves to. It is almost entire fueled by Big Lies, fake news, ad hominem attacks, and anything that might distract from Harris’s increasingly obvious incompetence and dishonesty.

I am serious when I say that I only drop by Fox News, CNN and MSNBC for about five minutes each day, and it’s a amazing the garbage I see anyway. I just heard Kamala Harris tell Anderson Cooper, in last night’s CNN “town hall” (Who believes Harris didn’t have the questions in advance?) that she believes that the border must be secure and that there should be “serious consequences” for illegal immigration…this in the same campaign where she has said that she supports amnesty for illegals as well as citizenship! See, if the “consequences” of illegal immigration are exactly what illegals want, that’s called an “incentive.” Naturally, Cooper didn’t call Harris on this self-evident—stupid, really— contradiction.

The Desperation Continues: The New York Times Printed This Full-Page “Hate Trump” Ad

Well.

Of all of the lawfare attacks on Trump, one involving a disputed “he said/she said” incident that had far exceeded the statute of limitations ( extended by the New York legislature in part to “get” Trump), then funded by a liberal, Trump-hating billionaire, is a particular thin reed on which to try to hang this kind of hysteria. But it is especially shameless coming in support of the party that has repeatedly celebrated serial sexual predator Bill Clinton, embraced his wife who enabled him, ignored the current President’s documented sexual assaults on women and young girls, and whose icons, like all three Kennedy brothers, have as frightening histories as abusers as any American politicians in history. And who can forget Hillary pal Harvey Weinstein, and Bill Clinton buddy Jeffrey Epstein, two of the most prolific sexual predators who ever roamed the earth…and both Democrats. Or Andrew Cuomo, who secretly recruited the head of “Time’s Up” to help him discredit one of his “survivors.”

Meanwhile, the news media is embargoing any coverage of aspiring “First Gentleman” Doug Emhoff’s sexual exploitation of an employee and alleged incidents of abusing female companions.

Trump’s presence in the White House, however, would send the message that sexual violence is acceptable. This ad is epic chutzpah.

But the Democrats sense that Harris is losing, so anything, even flaming double standards and hypocrisy, goes now. I can’t imagine what they’ll try next week.

Boy, It’s a Tough Call Which of the “Get Trump!” Lawfare Prosecutions Stinks the Worst, But Fulton County’s Is a Strong Contender…

When we last left unethical Fulton County prosecutor Fani Willis, lover Nathan Wade had been kicked off her case and the prosecution was probably dead in the metaphorical water, in part thanks to Willis creating the appearance of impropriety, a conflict of interest, and proving herself to be grossly incompetent as well a contemptuous of prosecutorial ethics standards. She did all these by bringing her boy friend on as a member of her team and going on vacations with him. Trump’s appeal to have Willis removed from the case is still pending.

Wade and her honeybug faced an inquiry into their alleged conflict of interest, and both claimed their romantic relationship began in early 2022, after the grand jury investigation into Trump’s alleged misdeeds was already underway. Evidence that came out during the inquiry suggested, however, that both were lying.

Nathan Wade told the House Judiciary Committee last week during a closed-door deposition that Willis was preparing to prosecute Trump even before she took office in January 2021. That Willis approached Wade to mobilize the prosecution of Trump means the Fulton DA was targeting Trump while he was still in office and challenges to the 2020 election were ongoing.

More interestingly, the Committee grilled Wade about the meetings he had in President Joe Biden’s White House, with members of the Star Chamber J-6 Committee, and probably Justice Department attorneys. Wade billed his time for the meeting to Willis’s prosecution. His meetings were uncovered in court filings this year, but Wade claimed that the details regarding who participated in the meetings, what they were about and what was said just, you know, flew out of his head. “I do not recall,” Wade said when asked about the meetings. In fact, he said it repeatedly, as you can see in the transcript.

The Washington Examiner coyly writes in part, “Wade’s talks with the federal government has invited speculation that allies of Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were politically motivated to assist Wade with bringing charges against Trump…”

Gee, ya think?

For Harris, a Double October Surprise That Would Sink a Normal Presidential Candidate—That is, One Running on Something More Than “I’m Not Trump!”

Ace of Spades, the merciless conservative assassin, posted a devastating discussion of not one but two new and damning revelations about Kamala Harris. I’ll send you over to Ace for the details, but here’s a sample of his analysis…

“Surprise! Kamala Harris Took Advantage of an Affirmative Action Program for “Disadvantaged Children” Despite Being the Daughter of Two Well-Off Professors. She is the worst example of DEI anti-meritocracy. She got into a very meh law school named Hastings. And she didn’t even get in on her own merits…. Further evidence she’s a DEI hire? She’s a plagiarist…. there are new charges that she plagiarized almost the entire speech of an attorney general. One part she didn’t plagiarize, though: she took a fictitious example of a sex crime, changed the city the imaginary incident occurred in, and presented it a real. That part, presenting a fake “for example” scenario as real? That was Pure Kamala…. Ekdahl says she’s lazy. Trump says she’s dumb. Both are right. I would point out, though, that Kamala’s problems — not being able to do her own work, constantly demanding that others “position her for success,” not reading report her staff writes for her and then screaming at them when she’s embarrassed due to her own ignorance — are also signs of being 1., a coddled, protected DEI incompetent, and 2., a day-drinking drunk.”

Ouch.

Now over to Ace…

Another Mainstream Media Bias Whistle-Blower

A staff writer for The New Yorker, Jay Caspian Kang, authored a piece called, “How Biased Is the Media, Really?” As far as that goes, it seems to be like asking, “How wet is water, really?” but never mind. He was prompted by the recent Gallup poll showing that Americans’ trust in news media continues to fall, which means that American are finally paying attention, and that media bias and news manipulation has become so flagrant that even the average dolt is likely to figure it out.

“Any Harris Voter Who Tolerates Her Escalating Contempt For Democracy is a Totalitarian Stooge-In-Waiting,” Part 2: The Fracking Flip-Flops

To summarize the previous post on the same general topic: how can any Americans maintain any self-respect who tolerate such obvious lack of integrity from a Presidential candidate?

Harris’s brazen flip-flopping on fracking, or “FFF” as Ethics Alarms will henceforward call it, is so dishonest, so brazen, such pure pandering of the most revolting kind that it defies analogy. Harris on this topic makes John Kerry’s “I was against the Iraq War before I was for it” dodge look like the epitome of statesmanship.

Her cynical machinations on her position on fracking are so convoluted now I’m not sure I can describe it. Let’s see:

1. While running for the Democratic nomination for President in 2019, then-Senator Kamala Harris said there was “no question” that she was in favor of banning fracking.

2. When she purloined the nomination for President in 2024 after winning exactly no votes from citizens who wanted her in that position, she suddenly changed her FFF policies as part of what Bernie Sanders has explained as justifiable tactics (lying) to defeat the Hitler/Bond super-villain/convicted felon Donald Trump—you know, to save democracy. Then, in her debate with Trump, she was asked why she had claimed a month earlier she would not ban fracking. She pointed to the fact that the Inflation Reduction Act (that had nothing to do with reducing inflation) Harris pushed into law with her tie-breaking vote “opened new leases for fracking.” She then said her “values have not changed.” Harris’s values haven’t changed, it’s true: she believes in saying what ever is most likely to advance her career at any moment in time.

Is This the Level of Critical Thinking Devoted To Pro-Abortion Advocacy?

If so, it explains a lot.

I saw this on Facebook, posted by a good freind who is also a public school teacher (and, of course, a Harris voter). I then found it again elsewhere on the platform; both posts wee smothered with likes and loves. It is beyond moronic.

I’m not even quite sure what point the writer (my friend didn’t write it) is trying to make. Of course “its” about babies: abortion involves eliminating the life of a baby/developing baby/”going to be a baby if you don’t kill it” living human being. I guess it depends on what the meaning of “about” is about.

Is the idea (I’m being generous applying that term to whatever this is) that the people who oppose abortions really don’t care that it is the taking of a human life—that is what creates the ethics conflict, after all—because if they really cared about that, they would also want to spend trillions of dollars making the child-rearing process mostly free and burden tax-payers and the government with footing the bill? If so, this is social justice “thinking” reduced to a “time to pull the plug” level of brain power. If we’re not ready to pay for all aspects of the lives of all children, that means we are hypocritical to not embrace killing them.

Got it. No, actually I don’t.

I could spin out some amusing analogies to the logic in that statement, but I’ve got another funeral to go to, I’m pressed for time, I understand the value of life, and I don’t want to rob you of your fun.

What is bothering me right now is that this may be an accurate indication of the kinds of people we rely on to teach our children who manage to get out of wombs alive.

No, I Really Am Finding the Desperation and Panic of Democrats and the Media As They Realize Harris Is Losing Hilarious, Because It Is…

In a post yesterday, I stated that I found the New York Times’s pathetic efforts to cover for Kamala Harris’s apparent lie that she worked at McDonalds “hilarious.” This was followed by a marvelous comment by long-time commenter Zanshin (First comment: April, 2013), soon to be posted here as a Comment of the Day, who wrote in part, “I think we all can agree that the essence of his analysis is not that this part of the Times article is genuinely funny but rather that the quote is a proof of the Times’ humiliating debasement of its professional duties as an objective news source.” I should have been clearer, I guess. The essence, in addition to constituting proof of the Times’ humiliating debasement of its professional duties as an objective news source and making me laugh outright (because I did), it is also throbbing evidence that the Axis is freaking the hell out, no longer able to restrain itself from trying the most obviously desperate tactics, whistling, now screaming, past the graveyard, aware that only a miracle (or massive fraud by their party) can save them, and exposing their panic for all to see.

To which I respond, “GOOD, you assholes. You deserve it, and I am reveling in your pain.”

“Nah, There’s No Mainstream Media Bias!” Hilarity of the Day: The New York Times Gets It Backward Trying To Cover For Harris And Vilifying Trump

Here’s another one: I have yet to ban a commenter for doing no more than saying the mainstream media isn’t flamingly, ostentatiously, democratically and destructively biased in favor of progressives and Democrats, but the day is coming, and it’s coming fast. Ridiculous smoking guns like this one, from the New York Times, will seal the deal. The Times’ apparent standard, based on the story: If Harris says something happened with no evidence to back it up, it’s true. If Donald Trump questions the claim, he’s lying.

Got it. The sickening display of bias reminds me of the line circulating on Glenn Reynolds’ Instapundit lately: “No matter how much you hate the mainstream media, it’s not enough.”

Back in August, Ethics Alarms noted that it was becoming increasingly likely that Kamala Harris’s oft-repeated claim that she worked at McDonald’s like the typical middle-class kid she claims to have been was, like so many other Harris claims, a load of hooey. I wrote in part,

Well, Here’s Another Rotting Institution We Can Add To The “Do Not Trust” List: Hospitals

The organ donor is moving around! Sedate him!”

In 2021, Anthony Thomas “TJ” Hoover II, was was rushed to the hospital after a drug overdose, determined to be dead, and was prepped for organ harvesting. His sister “became concerned something wasn’t right” when her brother appeared to open his eyes and look around as he was being wheeled from intensive care to the operating room. Oh, don’t worry, she and other family members were told. This was just a normal reflex! Nothing to see here, move along…

Natasha Miller, whose job at Baptist Health hospital in Richmond, Kentucky is to preserve donated organs for transplantation, also realized “something wasn’t right” when the supposedly dead organ donor began ” like, moving, thrashing around on the bed.”

“You could see he had tears coming down. He was crying visibly,” she told reporters. Two surgeons refused to participate in the organ retrieval, so the case coordinator for Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates (KODA), called her supervisor, who ordered her to find another surgeon to remove the organs. Thankfully the organ retrieval was canceled, but the incident horrified many involved. Miller told NPR, ” It’s very scary to me now that these things are allowed to happen and there’s not more in place to protect donors.”

Gee, ya think?
