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.

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?

The Latest Democratic Party Tactic: Threats of Violence

I don’t know whether the letter above, reportedly being sent to Pennsylvania voters, is real or not. There have been so many false flag operations from both sides of the political divide in recent years that it is impossible to tell. But I do know which party is the most desperate, ruthless and without any apparent limits to the depths it will resort to in order to maintain the nation’s lurch toward proto-totalitarianism, censorship and one-party rule.

Now, as it senses Kamala Harris’s ludicrous and incompetent campaign is going to fall short, her party is pretty openly threatening violence if she receives the ballot box thrashing Democrats so richly deserve after four years of incompetence, a puppet President and a Soviet-style palace coup deposing him.

In an interview with Tucker Carlson (don’t get me started on him again), Axis journalist and pundit Mark Halperin asserted that tens of millions of Americans will be so freaked out at the election of Donald Trump to that they will suffer mass collective mental trauma. That, of course, means fury, panic and violence. I have no doubt that he his right. Progressives, Democrats, “the resistance” and the mainstream media have been escalating fear-mongering regarding Trump far, far beyond what it was in 2016, when a previously sane Boston lawyer told me tearfully that she feared for the life of her two-year-old child, so certain was she that the Mad Orange Mogul would lead us into nuclear war.

Ethics Dunce: Fox News

I guess they are right: you can’t trust Fox News.

Tuning in for literally minutes this morning, I saw Fox News this morning run the video of the Cleveland Ind…sorry, Guardians stunning the New York Yankees in the American League Championship Series with an extra innings walk-off home run after tying the game with another homer in the 9th, as the Yankees were one out away from victory. Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino then spent an unusually long time expressing their enthusiasm for baseball and the play-of while making it crystal clear that neither of them knew what the hell they were talking about.

They said—twice!—that Cleveland was one strike away from elimination before that 9th inning home run. Morons. A Yankee win would have given New York a daunting 3 games to 0 lead (though the Yankees lost after having exactly that lead over the 2004 Boston Red Sox in that seasons’ famous ALCS), but the ALCS is a best-of-seven series, not best-of-five.

It’s disrespectful of baseball fans and the sport itself to presume to report baseball news and report it so carelessly and ignorantly. Perino and Hemmer obviously didn’t care enough to do their homework and to acquire sufficient basic knowledge about the play-offs to talk about the play-offs. Their feigned excitement was as fake as their commentary was incompetent. They are supposed to be professionals. A reporter thinking the ALCS is only five games while reporting on baseball’s play-offs is like thinking the popular vote determines the winner while reporting on a Presidential election.

Is a network that is this sloppy and unprofessional covering baseball likely to be more reliable when it reports on other matters?

Nope.

I Don’t Know Who Wrote This, But It Is Unethical, Insidious, and Wrong:

A usually astute and beneficent friend of long-standing posted that on Facebook recently.

I’d love to know what Marxist Ethics Corrupter wrote it, so I can hold him or her up to the derision, contempt and shunning such a sinister argument deserves. The obvious smoking gun in the statement is “what society needs to know.”

Who determines what society needs to know? Current public schools, administrators and teachers have concluded that society needs to know that the United States was based on slavery, that its Founders were villains, that U.S. is currently a racist nation that citizens “of color” cannot succeed in without special assistance, that sexual identify is fluid and that socialism is the only morally defensible form of government.

None of that belongs in a public school curriculum. Public school exists to teach skills and critical thinking: it should no more be teaching political cant than religion. The totalitarian who issued that poison above is advocating indoctrination, and worse, indoctrination by people who I don’t know, trust, or believe have the education, perspective or intelligence to decide what “society needs to know.”
