Kamala “Hands” Harris has some words of wisdom.
Bad Cop Kamala Harris calls for house to house searches to confiscate firearms
By Monica Showalter
Sen. Kamala Harris, the presidential candidate who wants to take away your private insurance, has a lot of other things she wants to take away from you, such as your gun.
In the wake of two awful mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton, she's called for gun control on Twitter.
At a town hall hosted by CNN, Ms. Harris said that, if elected, she would sign an executive order mandating background checks for customers of any firearms dealer who sells more than five guns a year. The executive actions would also include more stringent regulation of gun manufacturers that could result in revoked licenses or prosecution, as well as an attempt to close the loophole that allows some domestic abusers to purchase guns if their victim is an unwedded partner.
“There are people in Washington, D.C., supposed leaders,” Ms. Harris said on CNN Monday evening, “who have failed to have the courage to reject a false choice which suggests you’re either in favor of the second amendment or you want to take everyone’s guns away.”
“We need reasonable gun safety laws in this country, starting with universal background checks and a renewal of the assault weapon ban,” she added, “but they have failed to have the courage to act.”
She said she would introduce the executive actions if Congress did not pass gun control legislation in the first 100 days of her presidency.
Now in remarks to the Washington Examiner, she says she's all in for gun control through house-to-house searches, something she's done in the past.
When asked by the Washington Examiner if her plan would include legal gun owner databases or gun confiscation via law enforcement visits to residents who own banned firearms, she replied, “I'm actually prepared to take executive action to put in place rules that improve this situation.”
She continued, “I also have as part of my background and experience working on this issue, when I was attorney general [of California], and we put resources into allowing law enforcement to actually knock on the doors of people who were on two lists — a list where they had been found by a court to be a danger to themselves and others.
There's probably some logic to keeping guns out of the hands of some of these people. But given that this is the government, corruption and mistakes are also pretty common. And the measure is a slippery slope.
For Harris to cite those house-to-house confiscations as her great achievement and then call for sweeping gun control in reaction to mass shootings doesn't sound like she'd stop at expropriating guns for just those cases. She also says she'd govern by executive order to get her gun-grabbing done.
Obviously, her super-cop instincts are operative here, the same ones that enabled her to keep prisoners in jail for cheap labor beyond their sentences, and defend false testimony from bad prosecutors even if it meant innocent people were kept in jail. This is a power abuser. And her threat to confiscate guns, by hook or crook, executive order if not legislation, is the thinking of similar power abuse.
She's sounds like a budding dictator. Harris is not the person you want anywhere near the levers of power.

Despicable O’Rourke tries to save his failing presidential campaign by blaming President Trump for his hometown tragedy
By Thomas Lifson
The words “ghoulishly opportunistic” spring to mind to describe the reprehensible attempt by Robert Francis O’Rourke to exploit the deaths and injuries suffered by his former constitutes in El Paso, Texas following a mass shooting incident at a local Walmart and shopping mall. He knows his campaign has been crashing and burning, as his phoniness becomes obvious to everyone. He is no more genuine in is beliefs than he is Hispanic because he adopted a Mexican nickname. He will say whatever he thinks works to his political advantage.
Capitalizing on sketchy details about the shooter indicating he posted racist terms to social media, he rushed to blame President Trump for the awful crime. Of course, he was responding to a leading question from the media, anxious to have a politician with local ties spreading the propaganda they want to propagate.
John Bowden of The Hill reports:
Former Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas) said Saturday President Trump bore some responsibility for a shooting in El Paso, Texas that killed at least 20 people.
Asked by news reporters whether the president was in some part responsible for the shooting, O'Rourke, who formerly served as the city's mayor, responded firmly.
"Yes. We've had a rise in hate crimes every single one of the last three years," O'Rourke said Saturday evening. "During an administration where you've had the president call Mexicans rapists and criminals."
"He is a racist, and he stokes racism in this country," the former congressman and current 2020 candidate for president continued. "It does not just offend our sensibilities; it fundamentally changes the character of this country and it leads to violence."
screen grab
The meme that Trump “called Mexicans rapists and criminals” is a familiar distortion. He clearly pointed out the reality that border violators include some very evil people. There is no denying that fact. He specifically mentioned that there are also some “good people” among the border violators. But in O’Rourke’s account, it is made to appear that he castigated all Mexicans in this way. Apparently, O’Rourke would have us believe that everyone breaking our laws to enter the country is a saint.
I cannot contain my contempt for the fake Hispanic multimillionaire posing as a crusader for the little guy and gal. I hope the grieving families and the injured who even now are struggling for their lives or feeling the pain of gunshot wounds understand that their suffering is being used by an unprincipled politician to grab power.

El Paso mayor praises emergency response to Walmart shooting: 'remarkable police work'
Mayor Dee Margo salutes law enforcement response, looks ahead to the healing process.
Two Democrats seeking the party's 2020 presidential nomination faced sharp criticism on social media Saturday after linking the massacre in El Paso, Texas, to President Trump's rhetoric.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., one of nearly two-dozen Democrats hoping to block Trump's bid for a second term in the White House, made her remarks at a labor forum event in Las Vegas.
“The individuals who do the shootings are responsible," Klobuchar said, referring to mass shootings such as the one in El Paso that left 20 dead and 26 injured, "but I do think Trump's rhetoric has fueled more hate in this country.”

Pete Buttigieg on El Paso Shooting: America ‘Under Attack’ from ‘White Nationalist Terrorism’

Pete Buttigieg, 2020 White House hopeful and South Bend, Indiana, mayor on Saturday reacted to the deadly shooting at an El Paso, Texas Walmart, claiming the United States is “under attack” from “homegrown, white nationalist terrorism.”
“America is under attack from homegrown, white nationalist terrorism,” Buttigieg said in his opening statement before the AFSCME 2020 Public Service Forum in Las Vegas. “We have to talk and act about two things in this country: first of all, we are the only country in the world with more guns than people. It has not made us safer. We can respect the Second Amendment and not allow it to be a death sentence for thousands of Americans.”
“Number two, white nationalism is evil,” the Sound Bend mayor continued. “It is inspiring people to commit murder and it is being condoned at the highest levels of the American government and it has got to end.”
El Paso law enforcement has yet to confirm the suspected shooter’s motive, rendering Buttigieg’s pronouncement premature.
At least 24 people were shot, several of them fatally, and one suspect was arrested at a Walmart Supercenter in El Paso, Texas, Saturday afternoon, authorities said.
Police arrested Patrick Crusius, a white male in his early 20s, in connection with the mass shooting, spokesman Sgt. Robert Gomez said. Several media sources confirmed that the suspect lives in Allen, Texas, about 650 miles from El Paso.
Police spokesman Sgt. Robert Gomez saidinitial reports were that the gunman used a rifle, but that hasn’t been confirmed, Gomez said.
“At this time we have ruled out multiple shooters,” Gomez said. Multiple victims have been taken to different hospitals, a University Medical Center of El Paso, hospital spokesman Ryan Mielke said. UMC received at least 13 victims with “level one” injuries, which is the most serious level. One of them died, Mielke said. At least two of the victims transported to UMC were children. Another 11 victims were taken to Del Sol Medical Center, spokesman Victor Guerrero said.
El Paso police put out an urgent call for blood on Twitter.
“Multiple injured transported to various hospitals,” El Paso tweeted. “Blood donation centers Vitalent Blood Services at 424 S. Mesa Hills and 133 N. Zaragoza.”

Let’s look in on the democratic socialist convention and see how it’s going

A look into what happened during one part of the national convention of the Democratic Socialists of America in Atlanta this weekend.
11:01 PM - Aug 3, 2019
To my surprise, the national DSA confab this weekend isn’t getting much media attention. By any measure, they’re a rising force politically. Bernie Sanders, an avowed socialist, is second in most presidential primary polling. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has the biggest online following of any member of Congress and her comrades in the Squad are now national figures thanks to their war of words with Trump. Yesterday’s convention festivities featured 19 socialists who’ve been elected to local office back home. Seems like the media should be keeping tabs on what’s going on.
Unless, I suppose, they’ve concluded that what’s going on might be unhelpful to the Democratic cause.
Delegates of the Democratic Socialists of America convened in Atlanta for their 2019 National Convention, where they overwhelmingly voted in favor of resolutions that, among other things, call for open borders and endorsing a Green New Deal program.
Brandon Rey Ramirez, a DSA member and co-sponsor of the Open Borders resolution, stated in a press release that DSA “unapologetically support free movement for all people. It is unacceptable that a Fortune 500 corporation can ship a job across a border without consequences while a mother crossing a border to see her child is put into a concentration camp.”
The Open Borders resolution calls for the “uninhibited transnational free movement of people, the demilitarization of the US-Mexico border, the abolition of ICE and CPB without replacement, decriminalization of immigration, full amnesty for all asylum seekers, and a pathway to citizenship for all non-citizen residents.”
Trump lies about a lot of things but the far left’s enthusiasm for forfeiting America’s national sovereignty isn’t one of them.
The convention’s final day is livestreaming on Facebook as I write this at 1 p.m. ET in case you’re looking for a diversion from the news. Exit question via Jesse Singal: Isn’t this supposed to be a workers’ movement? How many blue-collar American voters would relate to the clip up top, never mind the plan to allow “free movement” of low-skilled workers into the U.S. labor market?

Democratic socialists convention erupts due to 'sensory overload,' gendered pronoun usage

Sen. Kennedy skeptical about moderates at Dem debate: 'The lesser of two socialists is still a socialist'
The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) National Convention in Georgia this weekend came to a screeching halt when one delegate formally complained of "sensory overload" from "guys" whispering in the room -- prompting another "comrade" to grab the microphone to angrily demand an immediate end to the use of "gendered language."
The back-to-back moments of impassioned hypersensitivity at the gathering of the largest socialistorganization in the United States led to bipartisan mockery from commentators, who compared the scene to something out of the sitcom "The Office."
"Uh, quick point of personal privilege, um guys," began one delegate, who identified himself as James Jacksonfrom Sacramento, and specified that he uses the "he/him" personal pronouns.
As soon as Jackson said the word "guys," an individual in the audience could be seen becoming visibly irate in a livestream video of the convention posted online.

Mayor Pete: The badge has a history, you know
KAREN TOWNSEND Posted at 3:31 pm on August 04, 2019
Mayor Pete Buttigieg was asked about his problem with black voters. He has no support from black voters at all in national polling. None. He appeared on Fox News Sunday and when asked about this problem, given how much Democrat candidates rely on black voters to win elections, the conversation with host Chris Wallace turned to his troubles in his own city.
ADVERTISEMENT
Let's look in on the democratic socialist convention and see how it's going
In short, Buttigieg blames the police for his public relations problem in South Bend. He quickly threw them under the bus with a particularly nasty comment revealing little true respect for law enforcement. “The badge has a history and even the best human being ever to put on the uniform is burdened by that history and by what’s happening around the country,” To hear that sentence, a person would be led to believe that bad cops far outweigh good cops when the opposite is true. No wonder the man has a problem in his hometown. He believes white cops are racists.
Buttigieg told Fox’s Chris Wallace that a “wall of mistrust” exists between the police and African Americans.
“It is not unique to South Bend but we are working through the pain of that issue in South Bend,” he added.
Buttigieg said the disconnect “has to do with deeper issues of systemic racism as a country,” citing other disparities such as doctors being less likely to take black patients’ pain seriously and black applicants having less of a chance of getting a call back for a job than a white applicant with equal qualifications.
I’ve written about Mayor Pete and his troublesgoverning South Bend, Indiana, particularly his problems with the police department in the aftermath of a white cop shooting a black man, more than once. It is surprising to me that Buttigieg is still having such trouble getting out of his self-inflicted mess. The police officer in the middle of the police shooting controversy has resigned. He is a 19 year veteran of the police force.

Six percent of South Bend police are African-Americans. The population of African-Americans in South Bend is 26%. Mayor Pete takes responsibility for not being able to increase the number of minority police recruits. Perhaps he may want to look at his own quotes, his words, about police to get an idea on where to start with some problem-solving measures. If Buttigieg can blame President Trump for mass shooting violence, as he has done, then shouldn’t Democrat voters hold Mayor Pete responsible for the troubles in his city? During the Fox News Sunday interview, he even brought up the trope that Trump praised white supremacists in Charlottesville.
ADVERTISEMENT
“This is terrorism and we have to name it as such,” Buttigieg said, specifically calling it “white nationalist terrorism” in a conversation with host Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday.”
“We need to acknowledge that this is a problem.” Buttigieg said, claiming that white nationalism has been “condoned at the highest levels” in Washington.
“Right now you see it being echoed by the White House and there is a measure of responsibility that you just can’t get away from,” he said. Buttigieg cited President Trump’s comment that there were “very fine people” on both sides after a deadly attack at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va.
Buttigieg doesn’t exactly want to repeal the Second Amendment, he just wants some restrictions, you see. He took the predictable swipe at the NRA, too. Mayor Pete’s rhetoric is not distinguishable from other Democrats running for president. Like others, he now refers to the NRA as a mouthpiece for “gun corporations”, whatever that means.
ADVERTISEMENT
Addressing gun safety, Buttigieg asserted that there is a need for tougher gun laws to help prevent future mass shootings in the “only country in the world with more guns than people.” He said “most gun owners” are in favor of universal background checks, and accused the National Rifle Association of not having the American people in mind when fighting stricter regulation.
“The NRA no longer speaks for gun owners, it speaks for gun corporations,” he said.
The Democratic candidate stopped short of calling for repealing the Second Amendment, but indicated that it should not be used so broadly as to prevent the government from protecting Americans.
“We cannot allow the Second Amendment to be a death sentence for thousands of Americans a year,” he said.
Buttigieg shortchanges police and he isn’t really a big fan of the Second Amendment. It really isn’t a mystery why his police force doesn’t have a great relationship with him, now is it?

CA Dept Of Corrections Omits Arrest Records From Kamala Harris’ Tenure As Attorney General In Recent ‘Website Redesign’
Posted at 6:00 am on August 05, 2019 by Elizabeth Vaughn

Perhaps the biggest takeaway from either night of last week’s Democratic presidential debate was Rep. Tulsi Gabbard’s (D-HI) shock attack on Sen. Kamala Harris’ (D-CA) prosecution record during her tenure as California’s Attorney General.
Gabbard stated that Harris’ criminal prosecution record was concerning. Specifically Gabbard noted:
She put over 1500 people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when she was asked if she’d ever smoked marijuana. She blocked evidence that would have freed an innocent man from death row until the courts forced her to do so. She kept people beyond their sentences to use them as cheap labor for the state of California. And she fought to keep the cash bail system in place that impacts poor people in the worst kind of way.
Rather than defending her record after the humiliating takedown, Harris who is/was a top tier candidate prior to the debate, told CNN’s Anderson Cooper, “Well, I mean, listen, this is going to sound immodest, but I’m obviously a top tier candidate. So, I did expect that I would be on the stage and take hits tonight because there are a lot of people who are trying to make the stage for the next debate. Especially when people are at zero or one percent or whatever she might be at.”
Naturally, voters are curious to dig into Harris’ records to find out for themselves if Gabbard’s allegations are accurate. But they will have difficulty finding that information.

I agree with you that I just don't see her becoming president this go around.
But down the road I could see her becoming President. She's smart, tough, charismatic. Yea those are the traits that get people laid as you so smartly point out here... but as we've seen with Trump and Bill Clinton, I think people aren't going to hold it against her if shes just comes across as honest. At this point what Harris is plainly missing is political experience.
Which brings up and interesting question. I don't know if she could beat Gavin Newsom in the race for CA Governor. So especially with what seems likely to be a one-term president in Biden- you have to think Vice President would be an ideal spot for her if she is destined for the Executive Branch. Only at this point, do you think Biden would still feel okay picking her as his VP?
