Harris is a [[racist]] [[Democrat]] and former Senator from [[California]] who publicly ridiculed [[Jamaica]]ns as pleasure-seeking [[marijuana|pot]] smokers (Harris herself has publicly bragged about smoking marijuana during college).<ref>https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/kamala-harris-marijuana-policy-tulsi-gabbard-debates-866102/</ref> Harris' racist views have been disavowed by her own family.<ref>https://www.waynedupree.com/2020/08/kamala-harris-father-identify-politics/</ref> Harris is one-quarter black Jamaican, one-quarter [[white]] descendant of slave owners, and half South Asian ([[India]]n).<ref>[https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/sfgate/obituary.aspx?pid=125330757 Obituary for Kamala Harris's mother which describes her background]</ref> Harris was an ardent supporter of [[Jussie Smollett]]'s [[hate crime hoax]] to incite a race war in America.<ref>https://biznewspost.com/news/joe-biden-kamala-harris-democrat-politicians-rushed-to-defend-guilty-jussie-smolletts-hoax/</ref> Smollett was later convicted of five felonies in connection with the fraud.<ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/12/still-posted-twitter-kamala-harris-tweet-calling-jussie-smolletts-sick-race-hoax-modern-day-lynching/</ref>

Harris famously said at the 2023 Munich Security Conference, "When one country attacks another, the whole world is in danger" to peals of laughter after the U.S. invasions of [[Yugoslavia]], [[Afghanistan]], [[Somalia]], [[Iraq]], [[Libya]] and [[Syria]]. Her efforts to recruit the [[Global South]] in the [[Russia sanctions]] regime fell flat.<ref>https://twitter.com/Marianna9110/status/1632305633142685696</ref> Harris is under [[economic sanctions|sanctions]] and a travel ban by the [[Russian Federation]] for her racist, [[xenophobic]], and [[Russophobic]] agenda.<ref>https://archive.is/kdv8P</ref>

Harris is an outspoken advocate of defunding the police,<ref>https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/view-meghan-mccain-kamala-harris-police-defunding-explanation-a9555436.html</ref> which she euphemistically refers to as "re-imagining",<ref>https://www.forbes.com/sites/sethcohen/2020/06/08/ragine-the-police-kamala-harris/#499188215c6d</ref> despite 81% of [[Black]]s opposing [[lawlessness]] in [[Democrat urban issues|predominantly Democrat-run cities]].

Harris again proved herself incapable of compassion and empathy for the suffering of other people publicly on the world stage by laughing at the plight of refugees from the [[Russia-Ukraine war]] - many of whom were people of color from [[Africa]] and [[India]] discriminated against and held back from leaving by the [[neo-fascist]] border guards of the [[Zelensky regime]].

Former Vice President [[Joe Biden]] announced Harris as his running mate for the [[2020 presidential election]] on August 11, 2020.<ref>Caplan, Joshua (August 11, 2020).

Like her white master Joe Biden, Harris is also a descendant of [[Slave Power|slave owners]] and is not ADOS (American Descendants of Slavery).<ref>https://nationalfile.com/kamala-is-descended-from-slave-owner-will-it-affect-the-race/</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/Woj_Pawelczyk/status/1145441281809821696</ref> It was indeed her [[white privilege]] that gave her family a [[bourgeois]] lifestyle in Jamaica and in the United States, and later a successful career in politics. Harris announced her candidacy for the [[2020 presidential election]] in early 2019, with [[Marc Elias]] of the [[Perkins Coie]] law firm serving as her general counsel. Harris has promised [[riot]]s will not stop before or after the election.<ref>https://twitter.com/chiIIum/status/1299077701916073984</ref> Harris has shown no compunction about stepping on the backs of the alleged oppressed people she supposedly represents to promote her career.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/tulsi-gabbard-just-humiliated-kamala-harris-in-front-of-10-million-people</ref>

Harris's qualifications consist of checking off multiple [[intersectional]] boxes in the Democrats' program of [[identity politics]] and, according to the ''[[Washington Post]]'', her "black, low-rise Chuck Taylor All-Stars, the classic Converse shoe that has long been associated more closely with cultural cool than carefully managed high-profile candidacies."<ref>https://www.foxnews.com/media/washington-post-kamala-harris-shoes-slammed</ref> ''[[NBC News]]'' is enthralled by her bold fashion statement "Harris wears Timberlands to survey [[California wildfires|California wildfire]] damage" and people's lives turned to ash. ''[[The Daily Beast]]'' published a probing analysis of the way Harris "bounced" off her private plane to view the devastation in California: "Was it the shoe choice itself or just Harris’ assured manner that sold the look so hard? Perhaps a mixture of both. That jaunty strut? A construction boot made popular by [[New York]] rappers?

====Unsanitary conditions====
According to ''[[Politico]]'',<ref>https://www.politico.com/newsletters/west-wing-playbook/2021/06/28/the-white-houses-centrists-strike-back-493400</ref> White House and [[Health and Human Services]] officials were frustrated after being left with the task of cleaning up remarks about the Mexican border by [[Symone Sanders]], senior spokesperson for Harris. Sanders told reporters that Biden and Harris “have instructed [[Xavier Becerra|[HHS Secretary Xavier] Becerra]] to do a thorough investigation” of the El Paso army base where migrant children locked in cages. But Psaki and others had to tell ''[[The Guardian]]'' that no such investigation exists. “At no time did The White House recommend a probe of the facility,” a White House spokesman told ''The Guardian''.<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jun/25/kamala-harris-us-mexico-border-visit-migration</ref> [[CBS News]] also reported that a White House official said that Biden did not order a formal investigation.<ref>https://www.cbsnews.com/news/biden-orders-probe-into-fort-bliss-base-holding-migrant-children/</ref>

According to a [[whistleblower]] complaint, children were forced to sleep in tents that “were dirty and often had a foul odor,” at times smelling of sewage at the Fort Bliss, Texas army base, one of the camps the Biden junta used to hold 5,000 children. Children were not given prompt medical care when experiencing health crises, including one girl who had a panic attack after learning that her old sister was dying and another who, after not receiving her period for months, began bleeding profusely. One 13-year-old from [[Honduras]] at Fort Bliss recounted that a friend was served raw or undercooked chicken “that still had feathers in it.”<ref>https://www.rollcall.com/2021/07/07/whistleblowers-detail-poor-hygiene-for-migrant-kids-at-texas-site/</ref>

The complaint was sent to various congressional committees and to the [[Health and Human Services]] (HHS) inspector general. The Health and Human Services Department hired a water-and-fire damage repair contractor with no training to supervise migrant children at the Texas army base. As of July 2021 there were roughly 14,500 children in HHS custody at several of its concentration camps.

When chief border czar Kamala Harris visited Texas in June 2021, she studiously avoided Fort Bliss.

One immigration lawyer representing the children said there were kids who had showered only once in seven days and weren’t allowed to shower more often. The children were not allowed outdoors and complained of not seeing the sun in days. The Donna complex which is supposed to hold only 250 people held 1,800, or 729% of its pandemic-era capacity.

<blockquote><font size=1>
Nominal Vice President Kamala Harris sat down for a series of softball questions from NPR Monday and promptly blamed Congressional Republicans for the border crisis. The only surprise was that she didn’t figure out a way to blame the Left’s feared and loathed Emmanuel Goldstein figure, Donald Trump, for the fiasco of our open Southern border. But anyone who has been paying attention knows who is really responsible for the never-ending influx of migrants, an influx that promises to inflict poverty and rising crime on Americans for years to come: Harris herself, her putative boss Joe Biden, and those who are really running this administration.

Harris told NPR that the problem at the border stemmed from Republicans refusing to cooperate: “And sadly, what we have seen in particular, I am sad to say, from Republicans in Congress is an unwillingness to engage in any meaningful reform that could actually fix a lot of what we are witnessing.”

By “meaningful reform,” Harris means the removal of any remaining restrictions on entry into the United States, so that virtually anyone can come in at any time for any reason without any difficulty. That’s essentially the case already, but Harris, Biden, and their henchmen want this chaotic situation codified into law. “I think that there is so much that needs to happen to address the issue,” she said. “Reform of our immigration system can only happen through Congress in terms of the passage of an immigration bill that allows for a legal pathway to citizenship and a legal presence in the country.”

Remember, Kamala Harris is Old Joe Biden’s “Border Czar,” although after she was given that job early in the present dumpster fire, er, administration, she raised eyebrows by never actually visiting the border she was supposed to fix. When NBC’s Lester Holt asked her why she hadn’t been to the site of the crisis she was supposed to be working on ending, she snapped, “And I haven’t been to Europe, I don’t understand the point you’re making.”

She might not have gone because there was nothing there she was interested in seeing: As far as she was concerned, there was apparently no crisis at all. In September, Harris declared, “The border is secure, but we also have a broken immigration system, in particular, over the last four years before we came in, and it needs to be fixed.” This once again suggested that the problem wasn’t the massive numbers of people streaming into the country, but the lack of an established mechanism to give them immediate citizenship and register them as Democrats. Harris continued, “We have a secure border in that that is a priority for any nation, including ours and our administration. But there are still a lot of problems that we are trying to fix given the deterioration that happened over the last four years. We also have to put into place a law and a plan for a pathway for citizenship for the millions of people who are here and are prepared to do what is legally required to gain citizenship.”

What did Harris mean by “the deterioration that happened over the last four years”? She was obviously referring to the Trump administration and claiming that Biden’s handlers had fixed some problem at the border that they found upon taking office. So let’s look at the record. According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, in 2020, 458,088 people were apprehended crossing the border. In 2021, Old Joe’s first year in office, that number nearly quadrupled, to 1,734,686. In 2022, the number shot up again, to 2,378,944. That’s the “deterioration” Harris was talking about: not the essential erasure of our nation’s Southern border, but the prevention of that erasure. The problem that Harris said that the administration was “trying to fix” was not that America is open and vulnerable to its enemies, but that for four years, it was less open and vulnerable.

What the remaining sane Americans see as a border crisis, Kamala Harris and her cohorts see as a fine state of affairs. The only border crisis they see is that the dastardly Republicans, those threats to Our Democracy, won’t immediately grant American citizenship to everyone on the face of the planet. So of course she blames the Republicans for the border crisis. There would be no border crisis if they were just socialist internationalists like everyone else, intent on erasing the very idea of a nation-state.

===Toxic work environment===

In her first three years as Vice President, 92% of her staff quit due to a toxic work environment.<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2024/07/23/92-percent-of-kamala-harris-staff-left-in-her-first-three-years-as-vp/</ref>

In the wake of her disastrous photo ops in Guatemala, Mexico, and El Paso, staffers began to quit, citing that Kamala is impossible to work with.<ref>https://townhall.com/tipsheet/rebeccadowns/2021/06/26/top-travel-aides-for-kamala-harris-are-quitting-and-it-could-hardly-come-at-a-worse-time-n2591632</ref> ''[[Politico]]'' reported that Kamala's office is ''"Not a healthy environment’: rife with dissent. There is dysfunction inside the VP’s office, aides and administration officials say. And it’s emanating from the top."''<ref>https://www.politico.com/news/2021/06/30/kamala-harris-office-dissent-497290</ref>
{{quotebox-float|"Harris’ team is experiencing low morale, porous lines of communication and diminished trust among aides and senior officials....22 current and former vice presidential aides, administration officials and associates of Harris and Biden described a tense and at times dour office atmosphere. Aides ....created an insular environment where ideas are ignored or met with harsh dismissals and decisions are dragged out. Often, they said, she refuses to take responsibility for delicate issues and blames staffers for the negative results that ensue.... “It all starts at the top,” said one of the administration officials, who like others requested anonymity to be able to speak candidly about a sensitive matter.

“People are thrown under the bus from the very top, there are short fuses and it’s an abusive environment,” said another person with direct knowledge of how Harris’ office is run. “It’s not a healthy environment and people often feel mistreated. It’s not a place where people feel supported but a place where people feel treated like s---.”

The dysfunction in the VP’s ranks threatens to complicate the White House’s carefully crafted image as a place staffed by a close-knit group of professionals working in concert to advance the president’s agenda. It’s pronounced enough that members of the president’s own team have taken notice and are concerned about the way Harris’ staffers are treated....for some of the people who know Harris best, it’s become an all-too-familiar pattern for a politician who has churned through several iterations of staff on her rise and took office with a team almost entirely new to her.

Just six months in, some of those aides in the Office of the Vice President said they are eyeing other employment opportunities. Others have left already. ...The morale level for current Harris staffers is “rough” and in many ways similar to the failed presidential campaign and her Senate office, according to the former Senate aide."}}

===Coronavirus===

After Kamala was vaccinated in a much-publicized photo-op, she and her husband were seen kissing through masks in another photo-op.

When the Democrat statehouse delegation fled [[Texas]] to avoid voting on [[election integrity]] laws, Kamala met with them in Washington, D.C. for a photo-op. The photo-op turned into a coronavirus superspreader event. The next day 3 state legislators with whom Kamala had been in close contact tested positive for [[Covid]]. On Sunday, July 18, 2021, Kamala was hospitalized for a "routine doctor’s appointment,” according to the White House press office.<ref>https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2021/07/18/kamala-harris-heads-to-walter-reed-after-meeting-with-covid-texas-dems-n412762</ref>

===Guatemala & Mexico visits===
[[File:Guatamala protest.png|right|300px|thumb|When Kamala Harris made her first visit to [[Guatemala]], she was greeted by Guatemalan protesters with banners reading, "Kamala, Trump Won."<ref>https://rumble.com/vi73x9-protesters-taunt-kamala-harris-in-guatemala-with-trump-won-sign.html</ref>]]
According to the [[liberal]] [[mainstream media]], "Harris, appointed by Biden as border czar, said she would be looking at the 'root causes' that drive migration."<ref>https://www.axios.com/2021/04/14/harris-immigration-visit-mexico-guatemala</ref>

When Harris visited Guatemala and Mexico, she said that if you want to fix a problem, you have to go to where the problem is and listen to the people. “I almost believe that if you want to fix a problem, you have to go where the problem exists,” Harris declares. “If you want to address the needs of a people, you must meet those people. You must spend time with those people. Because the only way to fix the problem, is to understand the problem.”<ref>https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2021/06/24/border-dem-busts-the-real-reason-kamala-is-going-to-el-paso-border-area-n401824</ref>

In [[Guatemala]], President Alejandro Giammattei there told Harris the massive influx at the border was due to the Biden/Harris policies. The people of Guatemala were very angry with the Biden junta for its empowerment and support of Latin American criminal gangs and drug cartels. Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei told CBS News, “We asked the United States government to send more of a clear message to prevent more people from leaving,” Giammattei said. When Biden took office, “The message changed too: ‘We’re going to reunite families, we’re going to reunite children,’” he said. “The very next day, the coyotes were here organizing groups of children to take them to the United States.” When Border Czar Kamala Harris arrived for a visit, the 56-year-old pro-abortion childless woman was not well received in the Catholic country. The junta facilitated the trafficking of [[Central America]]n children in criminal gangs. Protesters greeted her "Kamala Go Home" and made clear her anti-pro-abortion messages and failure to protect Hispanic child immigrants were not well received.<ref>https://nypost.com/2021/06/07/guatemala-protesters-tell-kamala-harris-trump-won/</ref>

According to President Giammattei, by December 2021 there were no further contacts between the government of Guatemala and Harris who was allegedly assigned to get to the "root of the immigration crisis."<ref>https://therightscoop.com/breaking-fox-news-reporting-on-possible-replacement-for-kamala/</ref>

According to ''Yahoo News'', Kamala giggled and cackled at questions about the unfolding humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan when Biden/Harris made the unilateral decision, without consulting American allies and in defiance of Pentagon and intelligence community warnings, to pull abandoned stores of modern weapons, pull troops out, leave 40,000 American citizen contractors and aid workers stranded, and re-empower [[Taliban]] [[terrorist]]s.<ref>https://news.yahoo.com/harris-laughs-shuts-down-questions-191500087.html</ref>

In August 2021, during the [[Fall of Kabul]], Harris was sent on an official diplomatic visit to [[Vietnam]]. In Vietnam Harris and/or her staff and media convinced themselves that a monument the Vietnamese erected commemorating the shoot-down of [[John McCain]], who spent 8 years in a Vietnamese prisoner-of-war camp as a [[war criminal]], was built to honor John McCain.<ref>https://www.fr24news.com/a/2021/08/kamala-harris-visits-the-john-mccain-monument-in-vietnam-3-years-after-his-death.html</ref> McCain flew 22 bombing missions over Vietnam during the [[Vietnam war]].

On the official diplomatic visit, Harris expressed effusive words of honor, affection, and heroism for the person whom the Vietnamese government and people regard as a war criminal.

At the very moment the Biden regime was resurrecting the Taliban terrorist state, leaving behind the most sophisticated modern weapons in a bungled and embarrassing retreat with needless loss of life for both American servicemen and Afghan civilians, Harris proclaimed "America is back."<ref>https://youtu.be/wUF-RkIZgFo</ref>

===French farce===

As part of her diplomatic visit to [[France]], Harris stopped at the world-renowned biomedical research facility where her scientist mother worked in the ’80s, CNN reported. Harris was tasked with smoothing over relations between France and the U.S. after the raucous [[AUKUS]] rollout, but mocking the nation’s language with a microaggression was the wrong way to go about it. It was p[ainful to watch.

Harris demonstrated her lack of couth and basic self-awareness during a visit to the Institute Pasteur in [[Paris]] by slipping into what sounded like a very bad, and bizarre, French accent. Harris was speaking about her affinity for scientific hypotheses, which she said were far superior to government plans because of the ability to pivot when things are not working out. “We campaign with ‘The Plan’ — uppercase ‘t’ uppercase ‘p’ — the plan,” she repeated in what sounded like a phony accent if not simply an awkward affectation. “And then the environment is such that we’re expected to defend ‘The Plan,'” Harris added.<ref>https://www.westernjournal.com/watch-harris-raises-eyebrows-bizarre-moment-breaks-french-accent-talk-french-people/</ref>

===The largest voter fraud organization ever===

:{{See also|Cloward-Piven strategy|Voter fraud|Ballot harvesting|2020 Voter fraud timeline}}
The probability of mail-in voter fraud creating chaos after Election Day, November 3, 2020, is very real. Some states may force residents to use mail-in ballots during the current health emergency. Voting by mail makes it easier to commit [[fraud]], intimidate voters, and destroy the protections of the secret ballot. Without the oversight of election and polling officials, mail-in ballots are the ballots most vulnerable to being altered, stolen, or forged. Fraud by duplicate voting can occur, once by absentee or mail-in ballot, and then again in person. Employees of private companies hired to contact and register voters have been known to change party affiliations of voters and forge signatures on voter registration forms, among other things.

Ten days before the election Biden went back into hiding and boasted of having assembled "the most extensive and inclusive [[voter fraud]] organization in history.”<ref>https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2020/10/24/joe-biden-brags-about-having-most-extensive-voter-fraud-organization-in-history/</ref> When Democrats want to tilt elections in their favor outside the ballot box, [[Marc Elias]] of [[Perkins Coie]] is the go-to guy. Perkins Coie is the Democratic law firm, paid by [[2016 Hillary Clinton campaign|the Hillary Clinton campaign]], that hired [[Fusion GPS]] to dig up dirt on Donald Trump in 2016. They failed, but still compiled the ''[[Steele dossier]]'' full of foreign-solicited lies about Trump and Russia, which was leaked by Obama intelligence officials to try to sabotage the new president’s administration, sow doubt in his election victory, and invalidate the votes of 63 million Americans. From [[Wisconsin]] to [[Nevada]], to [[California]], Marc Elias and the Democrats pushed lawsuits disguised as “election reform” to water down important election safeguards and increase the opportunity for fraud, abuse, and corruption. In August 2020 ''[[Politico]]'' reported,
{{quotebox|[[Coronavirus]] has turned the [[Democratic Party]]’s voter contact program, one operative said, into something more like a tech support operation than a traditional door-knocking effort.....[[Priorities USA]], the Democratic super PAC, is spending $24 million on voter mobilization, which includes vote-by-mail education. Fair Fight, a group founded by [[Stacey Abrams]], has rolled out voter protection programs in 17 states....
[[File:Ballots in dumpster.png|right|350px|thumb|Mail-in ballots were found inside of a dumpster and a Postal worker arrested; [[mainstream fake news media]] repeatedly claimed mail-in voting was secure.<ref>https://www.factcheck.org/2020/09/trumps-repeated-false-attacks-on-mail-in-ballots/</ref>]]
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump’s recent attacks on the USPS and on mail voting is raising concern among voters, operatives say.

“We've seen such an increase from young people in terms of concern about their ballot casting,” said Jared DeLoof, the states director of [[NextGen America]], which targets younger voters. “They want to vote, they want to make sure that that vote is going to count.” [...]

Democrats believe they will also have to follow up with some voters after their ballot has been cast, in an effort to help them fix ballots that have been rejected for technical reasons. State rules vary widely on if or how voters can correct their ballots, and the time windows to do so can be short.

While Democratic campaigns and groups navigate the patchwork of state rules governing mail ballots to encourage turnout, Democratic election attorney Marc Elias is trying to change many of those rules.

This is the other half of the party’s vote-by-mail efforts: a sprawling legal effort that spans every battleground state and is costing tens of millions of dollars. Priorities USA, just one of Elias’ clients, has expanded its voting litigation budget to $32 million.
[[File:2020-11-04.jpg|left|300px|thumb|]]
“One of the features of vote by mail is that between the point that the voter cast the ballot and the point that the ballot is counted, several things have to go right,” Elias said in an interview. “One is that the ballot has to be received by the election officials in time. ... And the second is that the ballot needs to be verified and accepted.”

Elias, who was the lead attorney in former Sen. [[Al Franken]]’s (D-Minn.) 2008 recount victory and the general counsel for [[Hillary Clinton]] and [[John Kerry]]’s presidential campaigns, is pursuing what he calls “four pillars” of legal changes to election laws during coronavirus. The first, that mail ballots should include paid postage with them, has some cross-partisan support.

The other three do not, locking Elias in a wide-range legal fight with Republicans all over the country, including the Republican National Committee and its legal budget of at least $20 million. Those fights are over Elias’ push to mandate that states count ballots postmarked by Election Day but received after the fact; overhauling signature matching laws, which Elias derides as based on pseudoscience; and allowing for third parties to collect and turn in voters’ sealed absentee ballots, which Democrats call “community collection” and Republicans largely deride as “[[ballot harvesting]].”

“One thing you do is you make sure that people whose ballot is being challenged based on signature matching, that the people that are doing that have been trained, are applying uniform non-discriminatory standards. And most importantly, the voter is notified and has an opportunity to cure,” Elias said of his legal strategy. (A cure process mandates that a state contacts voters whose ballots have been rejected to give them the ability to fix — or cure — their ballot.)

Several Democratic-backed lawsuits have also pushed to expand who can cast absentee ballots. In 44 states, any voter can, at a minimum, request an absentee ballot if they choose to do so, and some states have changed that requirement as a response to the pandemic. [...]

Republicans argue that allowing for outside parties to collect and deliver ballots could lead to coercion or fraud. [...]

The RNC and the Trump campaign pushed back against the Democrats’ assault on the integrity of elections. All across the country, Democrats tried to use coronavirus and the courts to legalize ballot harvesting, implement a nationwide mail-in ballot system, and eliminate nearly every safeguard in our elections.

One in five mail-in ballots have been rejected in several 2020 elections. Nearly two-thirds (62%) say there is fraud in U.S. elections, and that fraud would concern them under Democrats’ nationwide mail-in ballot system. Americans overwhelmingly approve of the safeguards Democrats are suing to eliminate like signature matching (84%), voter identification (80%), and a ballot receipt deadline of election day (83%). Voters also oppose (67%) allowing campaign workers to collect mail-in ballots, also known as ballot harvesting.<ref>https://www.protectthevote.com/</ref>

===Identity politics===
[[File:No Communista Kamala.jpeg|right|350px|thumb|The [[Democrat]]s message was not well received by [[Latino]]s during the [[2020 Presidential election]].]]
Harris, who is running on a platform of [[identity politics]], criticized identity politics when Sen. Bernie Sanders attacked her and suggested that candidates should be evaluated on the basis of qualifications and ideas, not identity politics. {{quotebox-float|"They bring this term up when you talk about issues that are about [[race]], about sexual orientation, about [[religion]]. They’ll bring it up when we are talking about [[civil rights]] issues as a way to marginalize the issue, as a way to frankly try to silence you or shut you up. We need to call it what it is, which is to try and divert away from a conversation that needs to happen in America. Why? One, because we must speak truth. Racism, [[sexism]], [[homophobia]], [[transphobia]], [[anti-Semitism]] are all real in this country, so we need to have that conversation and address it. Two, and this is equally important, how America deals with the issues and the disparities, and also the [[hate]] that can be — that causes these issues to become lethal in proportion — how America deals with these issues is a matter of American identity. This is not about identity politics, and if it is, it’s about the identity of the United States of America. How we handle the issues will be about our [[collective]] identity.”}}

Despite her open attacks on Biden as a racist and a defender of segregation, Harris accepted Biden's offer to be on the Democratic ticket as the nominee for [[Vice President of the United States|Vice-President]] in the 2020 election. After the selection was announced on August 11, Harris issued a public statement completely at odds with her previous attitude towards Biden: "Joe Biden can unify the American people because he's spent his life fighting for us. And as President, he'll build an America that lives up to our ideals." In response, the Trump re-election campaign dubbed the two "Slow Joe and Phony Kamala."<ref>Caplan, Joshua (August 11, 2020).

Kamala Harris once called [[Jussie Smollett]]'s outrageously false claims of a supposed "MAGA anti-black homophobic" attack an 'attempted modern day lynching'.<ref>Paul Best , [https://www.foxnews.com/politics/flashback-kamala-harris-jussie-smollett-an-attempted-modern-day-lynching Flashback: Kamala Harris once called Jussie Smollett's claims of an attack an 'attempted modern day lynching'], Fox News, Aug 11, 2020
<br><i>
Harris eventually reversed course when police accused Smollett of lying</i></ref>

Harris refused to walk back her claims in the Jussie Smollett case when Smollett was exposed as having paid for and staged a [[hate crime]] hoax to spark racial animosity. Harris alleged MAGA supporters had engaged in a "modern day lynching."<ref>https://theconservativetreehouse.files.wordpress.com/2019/02/kamala-harris-modern-day-lynching.jpg</ref>
[[File:Kamala and Jussie.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Kamala and Jussie. Kamala introduced legislation to make lynching a federal crime; Jussie allegedly faked his own lynching threat to draw attention to the bill.]]
According to [[Jussie Smollett]], he was out grabbing a sandwich at 2 am in 7 degrees temperature at a Subway sandwich shop in the Windy City when he was set upon by two white thugs. The attackers, wearing red baseball caps (the type of hat upon which MAGA hats portray their printed slogan to convey their political message) in uber-blue [[Chicago]], allegedly called him a "f****t", "n****r", and told him "This is MAGA country!" before punching him, kicking him, dousing him with bleach and putting a noose around his neck. Harris immediately tweeted that the attack was a "modern day lynching."

Kamala Harris sponsored an "anti-lynching bill" in the Senate in late December 2018 to make [[lynching]] a new federal crime. The bill had always previously stalled in the Senate, because it was seen as an unnecessary political gimmick, meant to remind people of historical black oppression in [[the South]]. Murdering people with a rope has always been a crime under state law. In the wake of Smollett's faked "noose assault" in Chicago on January 29, Harris's anti-lynching bill unanimously passed the Senate on February 14, 2019.<ref>[https://townhall.com/columnists/williammarshall/2019/02/19/jussie-smollett-a-case-study-in-modern-liberalism-n2541670 Jussie Smollett: A Case Study in Modern Liberalism], William Marshall, ''Townhall'', Feb 19, 2019</ref> Harris finally laid claim to a legislative accomplishment, though no matching bill has passed the House of Representatives.

Chicago Police determined that Jussie Smollett paid two Nigerian-American (i.e., black – not white) brothers, acquaintances $3,500 to "assault" Jussie in a rehearsed "attack." The brothers produced a receipt for the purchase of the rope with money they got from Smollett, and later a video recording of them purchasing items used in the attack was located.

Smollett claims victim status in two groups: black and [[gay]]. [[Mainstream media]] bought the [[hoax]] hook-line-and-sinker. [[ABC News]]'s Robin Roberts of ''[[Good Morning America]]'' proved the most gullible (among dozens of others).<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXLx5OY21Bk</ref> In December 2021, Smollett was convicted on five felony counts of perpetrating a [[hate crime hoax]].

====War on Cops====
Harris claims Michael Brown, who spawned the [[Obama riots]], was "murdered by a white police officer,"<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2019/08/11/sharyl-attkisson-fact-check-2020-democrats-murder-michael-brown/</ref> provoking widespread criticism. Even the far left ''Wadhington Post'' fact checkers awarded her four Pinocchios for lying.

====Bigotry toward people with disabilities====
During a campaign event, Kamala Harris was asked by an audience member (with a microphone): “what are you going to do in the next one year to diminish the mentally r*****ed action of this guy?” In response to the question a laughing Senator Harris replied: “Well said. Well said.”<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0Sx57OYT_M&feature=youtu.be</ref> When called out for her insensitive comments and bigotry, Harris later denied the R-word was used in the exchange.

===Women's rights and sex crimes===
During an interview with the ''San Francisco Chronicle'' in April 2020, Harris said in reference to [[Tara Reade]],
[[File:Tarareade2.png|right|300px|thumb|Biden and Tara Reade. Beginning in 1993 Reade made credible allegations about being assaulted and penetrated by Joe Biden and was hounded out of her job in his Senate office in retaliation for doing so.<ref>https://www.lifenews.com/2020/05/12/poll-bidens-support-among-women-drops-after-tara-reades-sexual-assault-allegations/</ref>]]
{{quotebox-float|“Listen, this woman has a right to tell her story, and I believe that, and I believe Joe Biden believes that, too.

Reade told ''Newsbusters,
{{quotebox-float|“Journalists should be asking her pointedly why there was a smear campaign on me and why Kamala was so aggressive and assertive with [[Kavanaugh smear|[then-Supreme Court nominee Brett] Kavanaugh]] and here she knows there is a credible sexual assault accusation against Senator Biden...I don’t care if [[oligarch]]es or celebrities are supporting him. What is more important to me is sexual assault survivors are allowed to come forward and have their stories told. By coming out, I lost a lot. But I don’t regret it....To approach sexual violence as a partisan issue is not only dismissive to the survivors and dangerous to the victims. It is the reason why survivors are afraid to come forward,” Reade said. “The Democratic Party has become an enabler to sexual predators.”}}
Reade asked if Harris will “ignore it out of a will for power” or “will she hold Biden accountable? Will she be silent?”<ref>https://saraacarter.com/tara-reade-demands-media-question-harris-about-biden-allegations/</ref>

====Protected a known sexual predator on staff for 14 years====
[[File:Harris El Paso Dayton.jpg|right|220px|thumb|Harris sent out a fundraising email after the [[Dayton nightclub shooting|Dayton nightclub]] and [[El Paso Walmart shooting]]s.

A longtime top staff member of Harris resigned after ''The Sacramento Bee'' inquired about a $400,000 harassment and retaliation settlement resulting from his time working for Harris at the California Department of Justice.<ref>https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article223053155.html</ref>

Larry Wallace, who served as the director of the Division of Law Enforcement under Attorney General Harris, was accused by his former executive assistant in December 2016 of “gender harassment” and other demeaning behavior, including frequently asking her to crawl under his desk to change the paper in his printer.

The lawsuit was filed on Dec. 30, 2016, when Harris was still attorney general but preparing to be sworn in as California's newly elected Democratic senator. It was settled less than five months later, in May 2017, by [[Xavier Becerra]], who was appointed to replace her as attorney general.

Harris, who has known Wallace for 14 years, then hired him in March 2017 as a senior adviser in her Sacramento U.S. Senate constituent services office.

A misconduct claim naming Wallace arrived at the California Department of Justice three months before Harris left the attorney general's office in early 2017. An intake form from the Equal Employment Rights and Resolution Office, which oversees discrimination investigations and compliance at the Department of Justice, shows that the department was first notified on Oct. 3, 2016, of Danielle Hartley's intent to pursue legal action.<ref>https://www.frontpagemag.com/point/272256/senator-kamala-harris-aide-sexual-harassment-claim-daniel-greenfield</ref>

Wallace resigned 6 weeks before Harris announced her candidacy for president.<ref>https://www.rollcall.com/news/politics/sen-kamala-harris-aide-resigns-400000-sexual-harassment-settlement-emerges</ref>

According to the ''Los Angeles Times'', the amount of money paid out to settle sexual harassment claims during Harris' tenure as California Attorney General was nearly three times more than previously reported. Total sexual harassment claims between 2011 and 2017 were $1.1 million, including several payments to men who apparently were victims of [[homosexual]] harassers at work in the states highest law enforcement bureau.<ref>https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-kamala-harris-attorney-general-settlements-20190301-story.html</ref>

====Bob Filner====
Harris drew considerable criticism in 2013 for allowing [[San Diego]] mayor and former Democrat congressman [[Bob Filner]] to plead guilty to charges of false imprisonment and battery against three women in exchange for a light sentence. 20 women accused Filner of sexual harassment and misconduct. Some said he put them in “Filner headlocks.” Filner could have faced up to five years in prison, but the plea bargain instead gave him three months of house arrest, three years' probation, and partial loss of his mayoral pension. The plea deal let him escape registering as a sex offender. Filner was allowed to keep his [[civil service system]] pension.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/plea-deal-by-kamala-harris-ag-office-for-sexual-harassing-san-diego-mayor-was-too-lenient-critics-say</ref>

====No equal pay ever in her office====
Harris has never practiced gender pay equity with either her Senate staff or her presidential campaign.

In her Senate office's most recent six-month disclosure, covering the period from April 1, 2018, through Sept. 31, 2018, the median male salary disbursement was $34,999 and the median female salary disbursement was $32,999, leaving women with just 94 cents of every dollar paid to men.

The gender pay gap for the previous six-month period, during which the median male salary was $27,167 and the median female salary was $25,749.97, was a nearly identical 6 percent.

The pay gap was even greater during the first full month of Harris's presidential campaign in February—the median female salary disbursement for the month, $5,763.97, was about 87 percent of the median male salary disbursement, $6,632.23, a further analysis of her campaign filing found.<ref>https://freebeacon.com/politics/men-paid-more-than-women-in-kamala-harriss-senate-office-and-campaign/</ref>

DLA Piper, a multinational law firm, boasts nearly 30 years of experience in China and over 140 lawyers dedicated to its “China Investment Services” branch. Harris’s links to the company are found with her husband, Douglas Emhoff, who has served as a Partner in the firm’s Intellectual Property and Technology practice and its Media, Sport, and Entertainment sector since 2017. DLA Piper boasts of having “long-established and embedded “China Desks” in both the U.S. and Europe” to assist their China-focused consulting.

To facilitate DLA Piper’s China practice – which has received countless prestigious awards from the China Business Law Journal and China Law and Practice – the company employs a host of former Chinese Communist Party officials. The hires serve to bolster DLA Piper’s China operation, which it outlines as necessitating “liaising with the central and local authorities” in China.

The company listed itself as an adviser to two government-owned airlines: China Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines. DLA Piper has also advised China Merchants Group (CMG), a state-owned company “under the direct supervision” of the Chinese Communist Party’s State Council, on a $2.5 billion tech deal. CMG also identifies itself as a “crucial participant and promoter of the national initiative of the [[Belt and Road]],” the Chinese Communist Party’s scheme to expand its economic and political control across the developing world.

The firm has also advised Huarong Investment Stock Corporation Limited, a subsidiary of one of China’s largest state-owned bad debt managers, and China National Gold Group, a state-owned mining and refining company. Tencent, the host of the WeChat app which is set to banned by the [[Trump administration]] for its compromising links to the Chinese Communist Party's human rights abuses, partnered with DLA Piper on a $230 million deal with the Chinese tech giant’s food delivery app known as Miss Fresh. The Cohen Group, a consulting firm started by former Secretary of Defense and Joe Biden endorser [[William Cohen]], has a self-described “strong strategic partnership with DLA Piper.”<ref>https://thenationalpulse.com/politics/harris-husband-ccp/</ref>

Harris never condemned the [[violence]] at rallies held in the organization's name in cities across the country, nor the shooting of two police officers in [[Louisville]]. Critics slammed her support for the organization whose co-founder described herself as a 'trained Marxist' in 2015. Many suggested she was supporting riots, violence, and intimidation. [[GOP]] operative Arthur Schwartz posted a clip of her interview with the comment"
{{quotebox-float|"Unmoved by the violence in our streets, in the brutal attacks on our police officers, Kamala Harris says the protests are 'essential' for our 'evolution' as a country."}}
Others on [[Twitter]] slammed Harris as 'insane' and said she should ask the business owners whose shops have been destroyed
if they feel 'evolved'. Daniel Babinski tweeted,
{{quotebox-float|"I'd like to publicly thank Kamala Harris for telling Americans that the protests, aka riots, need to continue and hold her personally responsible for the violence and the medical bills, and yes, the deaths, too....I lay this at the feet of Congressional Democrats.}}

Harris' so-called "healthcare plan" places a balloon payment on Americans' healthcare, i.e. "kicks the can down the road" past the next election to solve the "crisis" in this year's election cycle.

Harris openly criticized [[Joe Biden]], who authored the 1994 Crime Bill.

In the Second Debate, Harris was called for joking about her smoking marijuana while having locked up over 1,500 people for the same crime. The ''Washington Free Beacon''' later issued a correction of its finding that Harris had locked up at least 1,560 people for marijuana-related offenses. According to California's Department of Corrections, the figure now is at least 1,974 were admitted to prison under Harris for marijuana offenses.<ref>https://freebeacon.com/politics/correction-kamala-locked-up-more-people-for-weed-than-we-thought/</ref>

====Prisoners voting====
Harris is for convicted murderers, rapists, child molesters, drug dealers and terrorists to vote while in prison.<ref>https://thepoliticalinsider.com/bernie-sanders-kamala-harris-want-to-give-terrorists-the-right-to-vote/</ref>

===Education===
Harris claims {{quotebox|"the schools of America are as segregated if not more segregated today than they were when I was in elementary school. And we need to put every effort including busing into play to desegregate the schools.”<ref>https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-06-30/harris-stands-by-decision-to-speak-the-truth-on-race-matters</ref>}} On federally mandated busing, she replied: “I believe that any tool that is in the toolbox should be considered by a school district.”<ref>https://apnews.com/586b1e81cb684654b0cf689b9074c1cb</ref> Harris’ old Berkeley school district has today, despite its high level of integration, the worst test-score racial gap in the United States, with its median black student testing at only the fifth percentile of its white students.<ref>https://www.takimag.com/article/san-francisco-vs-frisco/#.XR6_Cs8PAv4.twitter</ref>

A vast database at Stanford's Center for Education Policy Analysis demonstrates that the biggest racial divides in school achievement are found in highly [[liberal]] districts. Black students achieve less in school in highly Democratic places, whether poor or rich. Anechoic Media's analysis of the Stanford database found that: {{quotebox|Black students in counties that voted Trump significantly overperform their socioeconomic status baseline. Going from a strong blue county to a strong red county increases expected district black NAEP score by an effect roughly similar to a ~3.17 percentage point reduction in black poverty.<ref>https://twitter.com/AnechoicMedia_/status/1145209471502888960</ref>}}

===Housing===
Harris boasts, "as attorney general of California, I took on the big banks who preyed on the homeowners." Harris and several other state attorneys general negotiated a $25 billion nationwide settlement with five of the top U.S. mortgage lenders to provide debt relief and other financial services to struggling homeowners. But in 2012 then-California Gov. [[Jerry Brown]] illegally diverted $331 million from California's portion of the settlement to pay off state budget deficits incurred before the 2008 housing crisis. The beleaguered homeowners never got the funds.

Harris remained silent on the court battles raging since 2014 as attorney general, Senator and presidential candidate.
:''“She’s running for president of the United States, saying she took on the big banks and looked out for the little guys – this has become a platform for her -- and she won’t even meet with us or deal with us,”'' Faith Bautista, president and chief executive of the National Asian American Coalition, or NAAC, told RealClearPolitics.<ref>[https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2019/08/14/harris_silence_on_diverted_funds_rankles_housing_advocates_141005.html?utm_source=rcp-today&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=mailchimp-newsletter Harris' Silence on Diverted Funds Rankles Housing Advocates], Susan Crabtree, RCP, August 14, 2019.</ref>

California courts deemed the diversion of funds illegal three times already. Gov. [[Gavin Newsom]] has not complied with court orders, and Sen. Harris remained silent.

===Reparations===
Kamala Harris seek to cause hatred between Black Americans and others by imposing reparations. Harris has expressed support for reparations for Black people as her presidential campaign kicks off in earnest according to [[Newsweek]].<ref>[https://www.newsweek.com/kamala-harris-repararations-black-peopel-1931159 What Kamala Harris Has Said About Reparations for Black People]</ref> Majority of Americans are against that.<ref>https://x.com/RedEaglePatriot/status/1818096909363609718</ref>

Harris originally opposed slave reparations and in its place offered a tax credit for all families earning under $100,000.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwq41Sm0QZE</ref> Harris moved toward reparations as the Democrats' strategy of promoting and emphasizing racial divisiveness in the 2020 elections took shape.<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/21/us/politics/2020-democrats-race-policy.html</ref><ref>https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/430999-warren-harris-back-reparations-for-black-americans-affected-by-slavery</ref> Harris has not elaborated on whether the descendants of people who did not own slaves such as [[Native American]]s, [[Republican]]s, [[Italian]]s, [[Polish|Pole]]s, [[Jew]]s, [[Hispanic]]s and other [[ethnic group]]s that migrated to the United States after the [[American Civil War]] would be granted an exemption from paying reparations, or if Americans such as [[Barack Obama]] and herself, who have no ancestry connected to North American slaves, would qualify.

Harris is 50% South Asian (India), 25% African, and 25% [[Irish]]. Under Harris' reparations proposal, if it were based on any notion of justice, she would be exempt; her mother immigrated from India and her father from Jamaica. Even if an argument could be made that she were entitled to reparations based on her father's African heritage, it would be canceled out by her father's other one-half Irish heritage. At best she'd be entitled to one-half the standard benefit, of which she'd be liable to pay to herself (plus administrative overheard costs).

===War on Cow Farts===
:{{See also|Green Leap Forward}}
Harris advocates "banning certain behaviors," not in regards to deviant sexual habits and practices, but in regards to the food people eat.

===Bullying===
Harris is noted for her nasty wit and [[bullying]] in Senate hearings with Chairman [[Chuck Grassley]],<ref>[https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2018/09/04/kamala_harris_challenges_and_interrupts_judiciary_committee_chairman_grassley_a_charade_and_a_mockery.html]</ref> Judge [[Brett Kavanaugh]],<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tsm1GPnlqmU</ref> Attorney General [[Bill Barr]]<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHd_UlebyoM</ref> and the Immigration and Custom Enforcement head.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxunaTHh8QM</ref>

After Rep. [[Tulsi Gabbard]] eliminated Harris from the top tier of candidates with series of questions about her record during the Second Debate, Harris press spokesmen claimed it was a Russian plot to end her presidential bid.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/08/01/kamala-harris-campaign-claims-russians-are-behind-tulsi-gabbard-after-hawaii-democrat-lands-attack/</ref> Shortly after, it was reported the California Attorney general's office removed arrest records during Kamala's tenure, making it difficult to research her claims.<ref>https://freebeacon.com/politics/california-removes-arrest-reports-from-kamala-years/</ref>

Early on, Kamala was the choice of major big money Democrat party donors. However Kamala was also the first candidate to drop out, even before the voting began in the first primary election.

The crowd of 20,000 that attended her announcement speech was larger than the crowd of 7,000 Barack Obama attracted in 2007 but not as big as the 100,000 that attended Donald Trump's campaign announcement event.

As her campaign faltered in the polls yet with still much cash on hand, Harris made desperate appeals to [[hate]] and [[racism]] trying to keep it afloat.

===Staff===
The Harris campaign announced on January 21, 2019, that DNC election lawyer [[Marc Elias]], will be the general counsel; Lily Adams, Clinton's Iowa communications director and daughter of former [[Planned Parenthood]] president Cecile Richards, will be its national communications director; Angelique Cannon, Clinton's deputy national finance director and national finance director for Senate Majority PAC, will be its national finance director; and David Huynh, Clinton's director of delegate operations and ballot access, will be its senior adviser.

As of 2019, Elias is general counsel for the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, a group led by former Attorney General [[Eric Holder]], who is actively considering his own run for president.

Harris began stacking her Washington, D.C. congressional office with former [[Hillary Clinton]] campaign veterans almost immediately after making her way to Capitol Hill.

In addition to Lily Adams, who was top press aide in the D.C. office, Harris brought in Sergio Gonzales as senior policy adviser. Gonzales was a regional director for [[Hillary for America]].

Kate Waters, who worked as the deputy press secretary for Clinton's campaign during the Iowa caucus and as press secretary during the [[West Virginia]] primary, Iowa primary, and [[Nebraska]] caucus, was brought in as press secretary early in Harris's tenure, among other Clinton vets.

In July 2017 Harris's Senate campaign was renting office space from a small travel agency on Capitol Hill just a few minutes away from the Capitol and congressional offices. Harris's campaign never answered inquiries on why they were renting the office space 2,800 miles away from her home state.

As Harris tapped Clinton campaign vets to her D.C. office—and now presidential campaign—she has used progressive public relations firms to project her message.

Harris's presidential campaign's digital arm is run by Authentic Campaigns, a D.C.-based full-service digital strategy company that was founded by Mike Nellis, former vice president of campaigns of Revolution Messaging LLC. Revolution Messaging was considered instrumental in propelling Sen. [[Bernie Sanders]]'s candidacy against Clinton during the 2016 elections. Harris has already paid Authentic Campaigns and Revolution Messaging millions of dollars from her Senate campaign committee for advertising and consulting services since entering Congress.<ref>[https://freebeacon.com/politics/kamala-harris-stacks-presidential-campaign-with-hillary-clinton-alums/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=fb5b59762f-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_01_22_10_12_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-fb5b59762f-45956325 Kamala Harris Stacks Presidential Campaign With Hillary Clinton Alums], BY: Brent Scher and Joe Schoffstall, ''Washington Free Beacon,'', January 22, 2019, 1:55 pm</ref>

===Fundraising===
Harris gained the financial backing of [[Marxist]] and [[socialist]] supporters of [[Bernie Sanders]] early as a 2020 [[Democratic party]] hopeful.<ref>https://medium.com/voices/kamala-harris-has-a-hamptons-problem-b6583cf29d41</ref><ref>https://www.opensecrets.org/members-of-congress/summary?cid=N00036915</ref> When she made her announcement in January 2019, she broke Sanders 24 hour record for fundraising.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/kamala-harris-ties-bernie-sanders-24-hour-fundraising-record</ref> She is the recipient of tens of thousands of dollars from elite Hollywood liberal donors arrested in the College Admissions scandal.<ref>https://freebeacon.com/politics/democratic-donors-charged-in-college-admissions-scam/</ref>

====Shomik Dutta and the 1MDB scandal====
[[File:Kamal dutta.jpg|right|300px]]
From 2011 – 2012 Shomik Dutta served as the National Finance Consultant to President Obama's re-election campaign. In 2013 he became Managing Director of DuSable Capital Management, founded by [[Frank R. White, Jr.]], Vice-Chair of Obama's 2012 re-election campaign.<ref>(2016). [https://web.archive.org/web/20160722205357/http://www.dusablecapital.com/our-team DuSable Management Team]</ref> DuSable had only one client, 1Malaysian Development Berhad (1MDB), whose global network of conspirators face indictment in the United States for [[money laundering]] in what the Justice Department calls the "largest single action ever brought by the department’s Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative" (''kleptocracy'' is defined as a government of thieves).<ref>[https://www.justice.gov/opa/speech/attorney-general-loretta-e-lynch-delivers-remarks-press-conference-announcing-significant Attorney General Loretta E.

Some of the proceeds of the $69 million sale ended up as foreign [[dark money]] contributions to Democratic candidates.

Overall, 1MDB embezzled $4.5 Billion from the [[poverty|impoverish]]ed people of [[Malaysia]] in possibly the largest [[globalism|globalist]] investment scam to date.<ref>[https://www.wsj.com/articles/suspect-malaysian-fund-tied-to-lobbying-of-white-house-1476403764 Malaysian Fund 1MDB Linked to White House Visit], By Bradley Hope and Colleen McCain Nelson, ''Wall Street Journal'', Oct. 13, 2016.</ref>

In March 2019, a $2800-a-plate fundraiser was held by the Malibu Democrat Club in a private residence with Shomik Dutta as a featured guest. The event notice was taken down from the Malibu Democrat Club after inquiries were made to the Harris campaign if Harris was aware of DuSable and Dhutta's involvement in a global money laundering scandal.<ref>https://statuscoup.com/does-kamala-harris-fundraiser-cohost-connection-global-money-laundering-scandal/</ref>

===Endorsements===
The Harris campaign proudly announced an endorsement from Democratic Rep. [[Alcee Hastings]] (Fla.), who was at the center of a $220,000 taxpayer-funded sexual harassment settlement. The $220,000 sexual harassment settlement was paid in 2014. ''Roll Call'' obtained documents showing a former staffer said Hastings "touched her, made unwanted sexual advances, and threatened her job." Hastings also employed a convicted [[money laundering|money launderer]], is paying his girlfriend the maximum congressional salary, and is known as one of the top ethics violators in Congress. While on the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Hastings was charged with soliciting a $150,000 bribe from undercover FBI officers. Hastings was acquitted after his alleged conspirator refused to testify despite a promise of immunity, but he was instead successfully [[impeach]]ed by a Democrat-controlled Congress. Harris said she is proud to have Hasting's endorsement.

Harris was endorsed by Rep. [[Al Green]] (D., Texas), who was made Texas co-chairman of her campaign and has also been accused of [[sexual harassment]] by a staffer.

Harris's husband headlined a fundraiser by the law firm that defended [[Jeffrey Epstein]] hours before Harris criticized the firm for defending Epstein.<ref>https://freebeacon.com/uncategorized/kamala-harris-criticized-epsteins-law-firm-while-her-campaign-fundraised-off-it/</ref>

Harris was elected San Francisco District Attorney in 2003.

In April 2004, San Francisco Police Department Officer Isaac Espinoza was shot and killed in the line of duty. Three days later, Harris announced she would not seek the [[death penalty]], infuriating the San Francisco Police Officers Association. During Officer Espinoza's funeral, Sen. [[Dianne Feinstein]] rose to the pulpit and called on Harris, who was sitting in the front pew, to secure the death penalty, prompting a standing ovation from the 2,000 uniformed police officers in attendance. Harris still refused. Officer Espinoza's killer was convicted of the murder and sentenced to life in prison.<ref>{{cite news | last = Bazelon | first = Emily | title = Kamala Harris, a ‘Top Cop’ in the era of Black Lives Matter | url = https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/29/magazine/kamala-harris-a-top-cop-in-the-era-of-black-lives-matter.html?_r=0 | work = The New York Times Magazine | date = May 25, 2016}}</ref>

In 2012, a Superior Court Judge ruled that San Francisco District Attorney Harris's office violated defendants' rights by hiding damaging information about a police crime lab technician, and was indifferent to demands that it account for its failings.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/05/21/BAN01DHVMU.DTL#ixzz0od05q8Qb|title=Judge rips Harris' office for hiding problems|last=Van Derbeken|first=Jaxon|date=May 21, 2010|work=SF Gate|accessdate=}}</ref>

Harris opposed San Francisco's Proposition K ballot initiative to legalize [[prostitution]]. Harris said, {{quotebox|“I think it’s completely ridiculous, just in case there’s any ambiguity about my position. It would put a welcome mat out for pimps and prostitutes to come on into San Francisco.”}} Harris argued prostitution exposes girls and women to drug, gun and sexual crimes, and “compromises the quality of life in a community.” Harris noted that 65 percent of cases handled by her department's sexual assault unit involved sex workers as victims.<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/01/us/01prostitute.html?_r=0</ref>

===Prison overcrowding===
After the [[United States Supreme Court]] in ''Brown v. Plata'' (2011) declared California's prisons so overcrowded they violated prisoners' [[Eighth Amendment]] right against [[cruel and unusual punishment]], Harris fought federal court supervision. When California failed to fully implement the court's order to reduce overcrowding, and was ordered to implement new parole programs, the State of California appealed the decision, and in court filings Harris's office argued that if forced to release these inmates early, prisons would lose an important source of [[slave]] labor.<ref>{{cite news|last1=St. John|first1=Paige|title=Federal judges order California to expand prison releases|url=https://www.latimes.com/local/political/la-me-ff-federal-judges-order-state-to-release-more-prisoners-20141114-story.html|access-date=October 12, 2017|work=Los Angeles Times|date=November 14, 2014}}</ref> Prisoners in California earn between 8 and 37 cents per hour in maintenance and kitchen jobs; prisoners fighting [[California wildfires]] receive $1 per hour.<ref>Annika Neklason, [https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/12/how-much-longer-will-inmates-fight-californias-wildfires/547628/ California Is Running Out of Inmates to Fight Its Fires], ''The Atlantic'' (December 7, 2017).</ref>

===Direct democracy===
In 2008 the people of California passed [[Proposition 8]], the state's [[referendum]] on [[same-sex marriage]] by an overwhelming popular vote. Harris refused to defend Proposition 8 in court. The decision was significant. In 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that proponents of the measure did not have the legal standing to defend Proposition 8 on appeal after Harris refused to do so. The case was dismissed by the U.S. Supreme Court, removing the ban on same-sex marriage in California.<ref>https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-senate-harris-milestones-20160706-snap-htmlstory.html</ref> These actions were a blow to direct [[democracy]].<ref>https://www.ocregister.com/2013/06/26/editorial-prop-8-ruling-blow-to-direct-democracy/</ref>

===Inmate sex change operations===
:{{Main article|Transgenderism}}
In 2015 a male inmate of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation was paroled early. The inmate had sued the state in federal court claiming he was being denied a [[sex change operation]]. The court ordered the state to provide the inmate with the requested medical services. Harris represented the Department of Corrections and appealed the decision. The [[Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals]] opined the inmate was released early while the case was on appeal to render the case [[moot]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://story.californiasunday.com/michelle-lael-norsworthy-sex-reassignment-prison|title=Michelle's Case|date=May 17, 2016|work=The California Sunday Magazine|author=Brown, Annie|accessdate=}}</ref>

===Three Strikes Law===
Daniel Larsen, found innocent by a federal judge, had been in prison for 13 years. In 1999, when two police officers claimed they saw Larsen, who had earlier in his life been convicted for burglary, pull a six-inch-long knife from his waistband and throw it under a car, he was sentenced to twenty-seven years to life under the three-strikes law supported by Harris.

Police wrongly targeted Larsen in the first place, and witnesses reported that it wasn't Larsen but the man he was with who had thrown the knife. In the trial, Larsen's incompetent lawyer (who would later be disbarred) didn't investigate a single witness, nor present one in trial.

Eleven years later, a judge reversed the conviction due to the lack of evidence and incompetence of Larson's attorneys. Yet two years later, Larsen was still in jail. Harris appealed the decision on the basis that Larsen had filed his paperwork too late.<ref>https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/20/daniel-larsen-innocent-federal-judge-prison-13-years_n_1813819.html</ref>

Tens of thousands of people petitioned Harris to release Larsen, and numerous civil rights groups similarly called on her to do the right thing. But even when he was eventually released from custody after fourteen years, Harris challenged his release, and five months later Larsen was back in court, fighting to stay out of prison for a crime he didn't commit.

===Foreclosure crisis===
:{{See also|Financial Crisis of 2008}}
When Harris took office in 2011, California was still reeling from the effects of the subprime mortgage crisis. In 2012, she participated in the National Mortgage Settlement against five banks, securing for homeowners weighed down by average debt of close to $65,000 each — around $1,500 to $2,000 each. One called it “a slap in the face for a lot of us.”<ref>https://www.scpr.org/news/2016/05/27/61049/california-foreclosures-ripple-even-after-major-se/</ref> Under the deal, loans owned by [[Fannie Mae]] and [[Freddie Mac]] didn't qualify for the debt relief. Given they were the country's biggest [[mortgage]] holders, this meant even fewer homeowners stood to benefit from the deal. Only 84,102 California families had any mortgage debt forgiven — far short of the 250,000 originally predicted.

Writing in the ''[[LA Times]]'', Michael Hiltzik savaged the deal and what he called the “rosy self-congratulation” that followed it, particularly the new foreclosure standards it imposed, which he called a “big whoop.” “The provisions mostly require mortgage lenders and servicers to comply with what I would have thought was already the law, which prohibits, you know, criminal fraud,” he wrote.<ref>http://articles.latimes.com/2012/feb/11/business/la-fi-hiltzik-20120212</ref>

Harris opened her Mortgage Fraud Strike Force to much fanfare in 2011. It employed twenty-five Department of Justice lawyers and investigators with a budget of more than $2 million to go after foreclosure fraud. The strike force managed to prosecute just ten cases in three years, an ''East Bay Express'' investigation in 2014 found.<ref>https://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/the-strike-force-that-never-struck/Content?oid=3933743&showFullText=true</ref>

The paper found that not only had the strike force prosecuted fewer foreclosure fraud cases than many other states, but it had filed fewer lawsuits than attorneys general in smaller states with fewer victims, and even fewer than some county district attorneys. Yet California led the country in terms of such scam operations, with many thousands of complaints since 2010. One housing rights activist who had lost his home in a fraud called the strike force a “public relations effort.”

''The Intercept'' obtained a 2013 memo to Harris from prosecutors in the attorney general's office saying they had “uncovered evidence suggestive of widespread misconduct” at OneWest bank, and urging Harris to “conduct a full investigation of a national bank’s misconduct and provide a public accounting of what happened.”<ref>{{cite web|url=https://theintercept.com/2017/01/03/treasury-nominee-steve-mnuchins-bank-accused-of-widespread-misconduct-in-leaked-memo/|title=Treasury Nominee Steve Mnuchin's Bank Accused of "Widespread Misconduct" in Leaked Memo|author=David Dayen|website=The Intercept}}</ref> Yet Harris never did.

===Refused to investigate police sex trafficking ring===
An underage sex-trafficking scandal implicated dozens of police officers and other local authorities throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. [[Oakland]] went through two police chiefs trying to address it, with a third doing only questionably better. People were pleading for Harris's office to step in and oversee an independent investigation,<ref>https://www.change.org/p/kamala-harris-demand-an-investigation-of-the-bay-area-police-sex-scandal</ref> since local governments seemed more motivated to quash a public relations nightmare than punish public officials. Harris and her office refused to intervene.<ref>https://reason.com/blog/2018/01/11/the-performative-feminism-of-kamala-h</ref>

===Prosecutorial misconduct===
In 2015, Harris defended convictions obtained by county prosecutors who had inserted a false confession into an interrogation transcript, committed perjury, and withheld evidence. A federal appeals court threw out the convictions, telling Harris's lawyers, "Talk to the [[attorney general]] and make sure she understands the gravity of the situation."

Harris appealed the dismissal of an indictment when it was discovered a Kern County prosecutor perjured in submitting a falsified confession as court evidence. Harris asserted that prosecutorial perjury was not sufficient to demonstrate prosecutorial misconduct.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.courtlistener.com/opinion/2781830/people-v-velasco-palacios-ca5/|title=People v.

===Religious discrimination===
A [[Sikh]] man was barred from working as a prison guard because of his [[religious]]ly mandated beard. Harris argued that his beard prevented him from being properly fitted with a gas mask, thus disqualifying him from the job, despite California's corrections and rehabilitation department's regulations allowing guards to have beards for certain medical reasons. A number of [[civil rights]] and legal organizations wrote Harris a letter pointing out this inconsistency. She argued that the medical exemption only applied to guards who passed the mask fitting before the policy took effect, although the man's attorney said this was untrue.<ref>https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sdut-calif-sikh-barred-from-job-over-beard-settles-2011oct27-story.html</ref>

<blockquote>
There are some truths that cannot be refuted - Israel not committing genocide is one of them. US Vice President Kamala Harris didn't fight back at it, but Sarah Silverman did.

A lie left unchallenged just spreads roots and grows.

And therein lays the problem with Vice President Kamala Harris’s appearance on Wednesday in front of a political science class at Virginia’s George Mason University when she didn’t object to a student who slandered Israel by accusing it of ethnic genocide and displacement of people.
... said the student, who identified herself as Yemini and Iranian.

Harris’s response to the student was not to tell her she had her facts dead wrong, was maliciously libeling Israel, or somehow had become confused, but rather to wax on about how her truth must be heard.

Harris said she was glad the student spoke up, saying, “your voice, your perspective, your experience, your truth should not be suppressed.”

“The point that you are making about policy that relates to Middle East policy, foreign policy, we still have healthy debates in our country about what is the right path, and nobody’s voice should be suppressed on that,” she continued.

Wrong.

Not every “truth” should be heard or legitimized by the vice president of the United States. Not everyone is entitled to turn lies into their own truths. Not everything is a narrative. Some views should be suppressed, such as the one about Israel committing ethnic genocide. Why? Because it is a lie. There are facts. And one fact is that Israel is not committing ethnic genocide. Period

How can one prove that fact to those who will only think the worst about Israel? Simple: by looking at the numbers.

Before the Six Day War in 1967 when Israel won control of Gaza, the West Bank and east Jerusalem, there were some 955,000 Palestinians in those areas; today that number stands at about five million. Say what you will about Israel’s policies in the territories over the last 54 years, but those numbers do not add up to genocide.

The fallout from Harris’s appearance followed a predictable pattern. The Israeli press jumped on the story while, except for Fox News, it did not make that much noise in the non-Jewish media in the US.

AT LEAST in the beginning.

Israel supporters then pushed back, the Vice President’s office realized it had a problem on its hands, and then did damage control by reaching out to a few major Jewish organizations. The story then started to gain traction in the general media.

The message from the VP’s office was simple: she did not mean what her silence implied.

And surely she didn’t. .. Neither anything she has ever said nor would her voting record on Israel lead one to believe that she actually thinks the Jewish state is committing ethnic genocide.

Then what’s the problem?

The problem is that she didn’t challenge the statement in real-time, with the other students in the room. The problem is that her silence could be interpreted by them, and others who might have seen a video clip of the exchange, as implicit consent.

“Hey” they might think, “someone said Israel is committing genocide, and the vice president just nodded. Maybe it is committing genocide.”

And that is how a lie unchallenged spreads.

It’s good that Harris’s office issued a clarification to Jewish groups, which obviously were carried widely in the Jewish press and read by thousands and thousands of Jews.

But not everyone in the world follows the Anti-Defamation League’s Twitter feed or reads the Jewish Telegraphic Agency where her explanations were spelled out. Harris’s explanations need to be aimed not only at the Jewish public but at the general public. Most of the Jewish public – except for outliers like activists in IfNotNow and Jewish Voice for Peace – know full well that Israel is not committing ethnic genocide.

It’s the non-Jewish public, which is hearing these lies now with increasing frequency, including from some Jews, which must be addressed and for whom these slanders must be exposed for what they are.

Why was Harris quiet in the face of this outrageous statement?

Perhaps ... as the author Norman Lebrecht wrote in his 2019 book Genius & Anxiety: How Jews changed the world, 1847-1947, “It is cool to be cruel about Jews (though not about other minorities).”

BUT NOT all is lost, apparently.

Last week the in-your-face Jewish comedian Sarah Silverman, who would most definitely place herself among America’s “cool” class, had some critical words on her podcast for the “Squad,” that group of Progressive US representatives whom Silverman has said she adores. Her criticism came because of the Squad’s move to defund the Iron Dome defense system and because of their deafening silence on Hamas.

Where Harris was silent, Silverman – per her style – was loud....

After gaining Progressive cred ... Silverman – who strongly backed Bernie Sanders in the last two US presidential elections – asked about Hamas, “Why do none of them [the Squad], even mention Hamas, a group that until just a few years ago had a mission statement to kill all Jews. A group that just congratulated the Taliban for taking over Afghanistan. No, Israel is not good for Palestine, but you are kidding yourself if you think Hamas is good for Palestine.

‘Please do not defund the Iron Dome,” she said, adding that she was “talking to the Squad here. You know, my family lives there. It just seems to prove the point that I didn’t think existed, which is that some people really only like Jews if they are suffering. Dead Jews get a lot of honor.

“I want to love them [the Squad],” she continued. “I really do love AOC [Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez], I love Rashida Tlaib, I love Ilhan Omar. Their domestic policies are completely aligned with mine. And I think they are so cool and kick-ass. But this is really scary. You make it hard. Not having the Iron Dome is going to kill people. A lot of people.

“You will finally get that higher body count from Israel. I am for a Palestinian state... but I do also believe there should be an Israel, too. There are Muslim states all over the place; we can’t have one Jewish state?”

There it was: a distinctly uncool comment, coming from someone who is – or at least aspires to be – culturally cool, hip and very with it. And her push back actually matters more than Harris’s clarification to Jewish groups, because what Silverman said she said out loud in her own voice –not through aides or spokespeople – to a general audience, not only a Jewish one.

Harris is a child of privilege. She was born in [[Oakland]] in 1964. Her father is from [[Jamaica]] and her mother from [[India]]. Her father, who is of mixed race, is a descendant of Jamaican plantation slave owners. She has less than half African ancestry. Her mother is from the rich class of [[India]]'s [[caste]] system. Both were research scientists at the University of California at Berkeley. She grew up in a privileged neighborhood. Like Obama, her family has no connection to the historical and cultural experiences of American Blacks who lived under slavery and segregation.

While contemplating a run for the presidency. Harris married Doug Emhoff in 2014, a Los Angeles-based managing partner of a law firm. According to ''[[The New Yorker]]'', between her break-up with Willie Brown in the mid-1990s and her first marriage at the age of 50 she had no long-term [[heterosexual]] relationships with [[men]].<ref>https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-political-scene/kamala-harriss-choices</ref> Another July 2019 ''New Yorker'' profile portrays Willie Brown as a major influence on Harris while her husband is portrayed as a political prop and nuisance. The author quotes a longtime donor to Harris who suggests she would have stayed single if it weren't for her presidential ambitions, saying, "When she married Doug, I knew she was running for President."<ref>https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/07/22/kamala-harris-makes-her-case</ref>

Harris, who has been preoccupied with her career and has used sex to advance her ambitions, has no children.

Her sister is Maya Harris, an [[MSNBC]] political analyst. Maya's husband worked on the [[Biden Crime Bill of 1994]] which led to the mass incarceration of 2.5 million blacks.<ref>Tony West is married to Maya Harris, Kamala Harris's sister and campaign chair. West, a former [[Obama administration]] official, also chaired Kamala Harris's transition team after she was elected to the Senate in 2016. West featured his work on the crime bill in 2012 when he was nominated to be Associate Attorney General. It was the chief achievement he listed for his two years working as a special assistant under former attorney general [[Janet Reno]].

"From 1993 through 1994, I served as a Special Assistant in the U.S. Department of Justice," West wrote in his official questionnaire to the Senate Judiciary Committee. "Under the direction of U.S. Deputy Attorneys General Philip Heymann and [[Jamie Gorelick]], as well as Attorney General Janet Reno, I worked on the development of national crime policy, including the [[The New Jim Crow|1994 Omnibus Crime Bill]]."

The work was also featured in his biography when former attorney general [[Eric Holder]] hired him in 2009. "West worked on the development of national crime policy, including the 1994 Omnibus Crime Bill," a DOJ press release stated.<br>https://freebeacon.com/politics/kamala-harriss-brother-in-law-helped-write-1994-crime-bill/</ref>

===Sexual Immorality===
Kamala Harris have dated [[Willie Brown]] who is 30 years older than her when he was Speaker of the California State Assembly. Brown was married and was father of three children, but to get political advantage, she ruined the Black family. After getting the advantage she left him.<ref>[https://nypost.com/2024/07/23/media/megyn-kelly-says-kamala-harris-relationship-with-willie-brown-fair-game/ Megyn Kelly says it’s ‘fair game’ to question Kamala Harris’ past relationship with ex-San Fran Mayor Willie Brown: ‘That affair is sus’ ]</ref>

Harris offered a “history lesson” Thursday to explain the recent resurgence of popularity in women’s college basketball. The only problem? Her “history” is very, very wrong.

President of the United States of America

2025-01-21T03:11:04Z

SteKelBry: /* Current president */ Updated President of the United States.

[[Image:Presidential seal 506x508.gif|thumb|The [[United States]] Presidential Seal]]
The '''President of the United States''' is the head of the [[United States of America|U.S.]] [[Executive Branch]]. As the [[head of state]] and [[head of government]] of the [[United States of America]], the president is one of the most powerful people in the [[world]]. The writers of the [[United States Constitution|Constitution]] recognized that they were writing a job description which, comparable to [[Kingdom of Great Britain|Britain]], would combine the office of the [[prime minister]] and position of the [[Monarchy|monarch]]. According to the [[Founding Fathers]] of the USA, at that time, the monarchy of [[Kingdom of Great Britain|Great Britain]] did not appear to serve the common man and the Founding Fathers wanted a [[government]] that did.

==Current president==
The current office holder is [[Donald Trump], who was sworn in on Monday, January 20, 2025.<ref name="z094">{{cite web | last=Singman | first=Brooke | last2=Shaw | first2=Adam | title=Donald Trump sworn in as 47th president of the United States | website=Fox News | date=2025-01-20 | url=https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-calls-revolution-commonsense-vows-new-era-national-success-inaugural-address.amp | access-date=2025-01-21}}</ref>

==Election==
The president is elected every four years by the American people, although not through a popular vote but rather through the [[Electoral College]]. This process makes the presidency one of the few elected officials in the [[United States of America]] chosen indirectly. The Founding Fathers implemented this procedure to ensure the relevance of smaller states in the voting process.

==Term limits==
Prior to [[Franklin Delano Roosevelt]], presidents voluntarily limited themselves to two terms as an homage to [[George Washington]]. After Franklin D. Roosevelt served a little over twelve years in office, [[Congress]] passed the 22nd [[Constitutional Amendment]] restricting future presidents to two terms.

However, if the vice president succeeds to the presidency with no more than two years left in the prior president's term, he is allowed to run for two full terms, raising the potential time in office to ten years.

The first president to whom term limits applied was [[Dwight D. Eisenhower]].

<sup>1</sup> There is doubt as to the legitimacy and legality of Obama's claim to the Presidency due to his refusal to disclose his legitimate birth records (the fraudulent "birth certificate" he released notwithstanding, later complicated by his own admission that he originally came from [[Kenya]]<ref>[https://www.conservativenewsandviews.com/2018/08/03/constitution/barack-hussein-obama-foreign-born/ Barack Hussein Obama: Con Man & Criminal Admits He is Foreign-Born] at Conservative News and Views</ref><ref>[https://thewashingtonstandard.com/obama-rubs-americas-nose-in-it-from-kenya-im-the-first-american-president-from-kenya/ Obama Rubs America’s Nose In It From Kenya: “I’m The First Sitting American President To Come From Kenya”] at the Washington Standard (Contains minutes from the Kenyan Parliament recorded March 25, 2010 where Obama's true origins are revealed)</ref>) and his history prior to his announcing his plan to run for President as a Democrat candidate in 2007. He has determined to keep his records sealed because revelation of such would reveal that, under [[United States Constitution:Article II|Article II, Section 1 of the United States Constitution]] (which prohibits those who are not natural-born United States citizens from eligibility for the office of President), he was not only not eligible to hold the office but was ineligible to even run for the Presidency, thereby making both his Presidential run and his subsequent assumption of the office illegal under the Constitution. As such, Obama's ineligibility to run for or hold the office of President would mean that the United States of America did not have a legitimate executive from January 20, 2009 (the day that Obama assumed the office<ref>[https://www.conservativenewsandviews.com/2016/05/01/accountability/executive/barack-obama-stole-america/ Barack Obama Stole America] at Conservative News and Views</ref>) until January 20, 2017 when Donald Trump was sworn into office.

'''James David Vance (born James Donald Bowman)''' (born in August 2, 1984; age 40) is an American [[conservative populist]] senator and [[United States Marine Corps|Marine]] combat veteran from [[Ohio]], who was nominated to be the vice president on [[Trump]]'s ticket in the [[2024 presidential election]]. Vance is the first [[Millennial]] to appear on a presidential ticket.

An outspoken tech entrepreneur who was the best-selling author of the “Hillbilly Elegy,” JD Vance announced his candidacy amid many skeptics on June 29, 2021.<ref>James Arkin, [https://www.politico.com/news/2021/07/01/jd-vance-ohio-senate-primary-497754 J.D. Vance joins already chaotic Ohio Senate primary], ''Politico'', July 1, 2021.</ref> On April 16, 2022, Trump endorsed Vance in his Senate primary race against many opponents, thereby rejecting the pro-[[Establishment]], [[Mike Pence]]-endorsed candidate [[Josh Mandel]].

Pro-[[Trump]] tech billionaire Peter Thiel has long been a supporter of J.D. Vance.

On July 15, 2024, [[Trump]] selected JD Vance as VP / his running mate for the 2024 election.<ref>[https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4708066-donald-trump-jd-vance-vice-president-joe-biden/ Trump picks JD Vance for VP]
By Brett Samuels, ''The Hill'', 07/15/24</ref>

Vance was nominated two days after the [[Assassination attempt on President Trump]]. As Vice President, Vance is poised to becoming President Trump's ideological successor, due to President Trump being limited to one more term. The State of Ohio has produced more [[United States President]]s than any other state.

==United States Senate==
Vance was the [[Trump]]-endorsed underdog landslide winner of the [[U.S. Senate]] seat in [[Ohio]], far exceeding early predictions and routing his [[Liz Cheney]]-endorsed opponent, [[Tim Ryan]] in November 2022.

Vance's enormous 7-point margin of victory as a political newcomer solidifies [[President Trump]]'s popularity in the all-important [[Midwest]], as Vance's opponent campaigned against Trump in the 2024 Presidential election.

===2022 Primary===
In May 2022, Vance, as Trump's backed candidate, wins GOP primary for [[Ohio]] Senate seat.<ref>Mark Lungariello, [https://nypost.com/2022/05/03/j-d-vance-wins-gop-primary-for-ohio-senate-seat/amp/ Trump-backed author J.D.

Ohio primaries proved the immense power of a Trump endorsement, and RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDanaiel's prediction rang true:<ref>Art Moore, [https://www.wnd.com/2022/05/gop-doubles-democrat-turnout-ohio-despite-roe-leak/ GOP doubles Democrat turnout in Ohio despite Roe leak], ''WND'', May 5, 2022.</ref><blockquote>[[RNC]] Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel told Breitbart News that Ohio voters "reject Biden's failed agenda of historic inflation, Biden's gas hike, and the crisis at our southern border, and will hold Democrats accountable and vote for Republicans up and down the ballot."</blockquote>

Despite Vance's criticism of Trump way back in 2016, Trump graciously wrote:<ref>Haley Bemiller, [https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2022/04/19/ohio-senate-race-j-d-vance-questioned-trumps-likeness-hitler/7372220001/ Vance questioned whether Trump is like Hitler in 2016 message], ''Cincinnati.com'', April 20, 2022</ref>
<blockquote>"Like some others, J.D. Vance may have said some not-so-great things about me in the past, but he gets it now, and I have seen that in spades."</blockquote>

A [[conservative populism|conservative populist]] capable of winning a general election, J.D. Vance is a leader among Republican candidates in speaking out against increased entanglement by [[Biden]] of the [[United States]] in the [[Russia Ukraine conflict 2022|Russian Ukraine conflict]].

===Foreign affairs===
Senator Vance has been the most courageous in opposing endless funding by the [[United States]] of the [[Russia-Ukraine war]].<ref>[https://www.wkyc.com/article/news/politics/elections/war-ukraine-could-impact-ohio-us-senate-race-tim-ryan-jd-vance/95-a2c5759a-d2c4-4ccd-8dcb-e41ecb62fa3e War in Ukraine could impact Ohio US Senate race between Tim Ryan and JD Vance], Author: Lynna Lai, November 4, 2022. wkyc.com</ref>

Senator Vance explained why the [[Washington, D.C.|Washington]] and [[Western alliance|Western]] [[establishment]] hate [[Russian Federation]] [[President Vladimir Putin]] so much - because Putin made Russia great again after the [[Communist Party of the Soviet Union]] for 70 years, and later the [[CIA]] in the 1990s, had brought Russia down so low.<ref>[https://youtu.be/9mKbu66tgpY Why Does the US Establishment Hate Russia?], Dr. Vladimir Brovkin, Feb 5, 2024. [[YouTube]].</ref>

Despite his conservative position on Russia, Vance is a hawk on Israel, which brings his overall credentials into question.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/07/16/watch-j-d-vance-advocates-for-robust-u-s-support-of-israel-in-line-with-america-first-policy/</ref>

Sen. Vance said on the floor of the U.S. Senate on November 8, 2023: "Basic questions about Biden’s Ukraine policy, including [[Washington, D.C.|Washington’s]] true strategic objective in the former Soviet republic, haven’t been addressed...Americans are commonly told that the aim is to force Russia out of all Ukrainian territory, including regions that have been annexed by Moscow following overwhelming votes for independence from Kiev...And yet, when you talk to the president’s own administration in private, they admit that is a strategic impossibility...No rational human being in the president’s administration believes that it is possible to throw the Russians out of every inch of Ukrainian territory...So, why is that the public justification offered by many advocates of indefinite, unlimited Ukrainian aid?...Because this debate is fundamentally dishonest...We are not telling the American people the truth because we know that if we did tell them the truth, they would not support an indefinite flow of money to Ukraine”.

In September 2023, speaking from the ''[[Newsweek]]'' division of the [[Media intelligence complex|corporate war propaganda media combine]], Vance demanded that the [[Biden regime]] reveal if American [[Transgender]] ‘Spokesperson’ for the [[AFU|Ukraine Military]] had [[US Intelligence community]] ties after they made threats to ‘hunt down’ [[Russian]] ‘[[propagandist]]s’.<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2023/09/17/hold-sen-j-d-vance-demands-biden-admin-reveal-if-american-transgender-spokesperson-for-ukraine-military-has-u-s-intel-background-24973742/ Exclusive: Sen.

It agrees with the [[Ukro Nazi]]s that speech critical of Ukraine is “Russian propaganda,” the sort of “disinformation” now being sanitized under laws enacted in the [[EU]] and the [[UK]]. The United States Government and [[Big Tech|corporate social media]] deplatform and demonetize domestic critics.
[[File:Sarah Ashton-Cirillo.PNG|left|200px|thumb|Chief spokesperson [[Sarah Ashton-Cirillo]] for the [[Territorial Defense]].<ref>[https://rumble.com/v3hqmhg-american-transgender-sarah-ashton-cirillo-is-the-official-speaker-for-the-u.html American transgender Sarah Ashton Cirillo is the official speaker for the Ukraine military].</ref>]]
In a letter to Secretary of State [[Antony Blinken]], Secretary of Defense [[Lloyd Austin]], and Director of National Intelligence [[Avril Haines]], Senator Vance raised concerns over the conduct of [[Sarah Ashton-Cirillo]], who claims to act as a spokesperson for the [[Ukrainian military]]. Senator Vance also requested additional information from the Biden administration regarding this individual. Senator Vance’s letter reads, in part:
:''“In recent days, a video has circulated of an individual who claims to be an English-speaking spokesperson for the Ukrainian military. In the video, this individual, Sarah Ashton-Cirillo, looks directly into the camera and threatens physical [[violence]] to anyone who circulates ‘Russian propaganda.’

:''“A number of reports purport to offer additional information, much of it unconfirmed, regarding Ashton-Cirillo. I’ve seen claims this individual is an American, a former intelligence operative in the United States, and an employee of the Ukrainian government. Others have argued Ashton-Cirillo is pulling an elaborate prank …

:''“I worry American resources could be supporting violence or the threat of violence against people for speaking their mind. Notably, any critic of America’s incoherent policy in Ukraine has been slandered as propagandists, including multiple presidential candidates and American journalists. While we can debate the merits of these accusations, engaging in protected speech should not invite threats of violence—otherwise, the [[First Amendment]] means nothing.”''<ref>[https://www.vance.senate.gov/press-releases/senator-vance-raises-concerns-over-conduct-of-purported-spokesperson-for-the-ukrainian-military/ SENATOR VANCE RAISES CONCERNS OVER CONDUCT OF PURPORTED SPOKESPERSON FOR THE UKRAINIAN MILITARY], Press Release, September 15, 2023.</ref>

[[Nazi]]s, past and present, have long humiliated, attacked, tortured, and murdered political opponents. The problem with Ashton-Carillo is not his menacing threat. The Nazis not only want to kill men, women, and children in [[Lugansk]], [[Donetsk]], [[Zaporizhzhia]], [[Kherson]], [[Crimea]], and Russia, but also those who are opposed to [[United States Government]] and [[NATO]] efforts to collapse Russia and, in the process, start a [[nuclear war]].<ref>[https://kurtnimmo.substack.com/p/ukraine-demotes-nazi-trans-spokesperson Ukraine Demotes Nazi Trans Spokesperson], KURT NIMMO, SEP 20, 2023</ref>

The USG has long supported and funded Nazis. A declassified document from 1950 reveals the CIA worked to clandestinely exploit “these Ukrainian organizations” (the Ukrainian Supreme Council of Liberation and the Supreme Ukrainian Liberation Council).<ref>[https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/AERODYNAMIC%20%20%20VOL.%201_0004.pdf AEROCYNAMIC], 11 April 1950.</ref> Both were formed by the [[Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists]] and the [[Ukrainian Insurgent Army]], the latter known as the perpetrator of [[ethnic cleansing]] massacres in [[Volhynia]] and [[Eastern Galicia]], primarily targeting women and children.

===Polish authoritarianism===
Polish Prime Minister [[Donald Tusk]] tried shaming the Republicans for attempting to block another tranche of aid for Ukraine in a [[tweet]] in Febryuary 2024. Tusk wrote: “Dear Republican Senators of America. [[Ronald Reagan]], who helped millions of us to win back our freedom and independence, must be turning in his grave today. Shame on you.” Tusk's undiplomatic meddling in America’s domestic affairs wasn’t left unanswered, however, since Sen. Vance promptly put Tusk in his place. Vance responded on [[Twitter|X]] as follows: “The new leader of [[Poland]] is arresting political opponents and owes his country’s security to the generosity of mine. He might consider showing some appreciation, or at least toning down his own [[authoritarian]] impulses.” Senator Vance had earlier slammed Tusk’s attacks on press freedom after his [[German]]-backed [[liberal]]-[[globalist]] regime seized control of public media on legally dubious pretexts that the [[conservative]]-[[nationalist]] opposition sharply condemned.<ref>[https://korybko.substack.com/p/senator-jd-vance-put-polish-prime Senator JD Vance Put Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk In His Place], [[ANDREW KORYBKO]], FEB 09, 2024. korybko.substack.com</ref>

===Pro Israel (and its security) vs Ukraine===

In May 2024, Vance used his [[Quincy Institute]] speech to differentiate his opposition to Ukraine aid from his steadfast commitment to [[Israel]]. “I’m supportive of Israel and their war against [[Hamas]]. I certainly admire the Ukrainians who are fighting against Russia, but I do not think that it is in America’s interest to continue to fund an effectively [[perpetual war|never-ending war]] in Ukraine,” Vance said. “It’s sort of weird that this town assumes that Israel and Ukraine are exactly the same. They’re not, of course, and I think it’s important to analyze them in separate buckets.”<ref>[https://jewishinsider.com/2024/05/vance-puts-pro-israel-spin-on-isolationist-worldview-in-quincy-institute-speech/ Vance puts pro-Israel spin on America First worldview in Quincy Institute speech]. Emily Jacobs, ''JI'', May 23, 2024.
<blockquote><small>
Vance used his speech to differentiate his opposition to Ukraine aid from his steadfast commitment to Israel. “I’m supportive of Israel and their war against Hamas. I certainly admire the Ukrainians who are fighting against Russia, but I do not think that it is in America’s interest to continue to fund an effectively never-ending war in Ukraine,” Vance said. “It’s sort of weird that this town assumes that Israel and Ukraine are exactly the same. They’re not, of course, and I think it’s important to analyze them in separate buckets.”
While Vance has distinguished himself as a leading voice against U.S. support for Ukraine in its war against Russia, he has held firm in his support for Israel. He criticized President Joe Biden for delaying offensive weapons transfers and potential sales to Israel while trying to avert a full-scale Rafah invasion earlier this month, and dug in during Thursday’s address on why the America First platform he aligns himself with requires a strong relationship with Israel.
“If we’re going to support Israel, as I think that we should, we have to articulate a reason why it’s in our best interest,” Vance said.
“Israel is one of the most dynamic, certainly on a per capita basis, one of the most dynamic and technologically advanced countries in the world,” Vance went on, citing work done on Israel’s end to “actually give us missile-defense parity. That’s a very important national security objective of the United States of America, and that’s something we’re working with one of the most innovative economies in the world to accomplish.”
“We have to sort of ask ourselves, what do we want out of our Israeli allies? And more importantly, what do we want out of all of our allies writ large? Do we want clients who depend on us, who can’t do anything without us? Or do we want real allies who can actually advance their interests on their own with America playing a leadership role,” he continued.
Vance added that one of the main reasons Americans support Israel is because the United States is a majority-Christian country, and “a majority of citizens of this country think that their Savior, and I count myself a Christian, was born and died and resurrected in that narrow little strip of territory on the Mediterranean.” He then slammed backers of the war in Iraq for “precipitat[ing] the genocide of one of the oldest Christian communities in the entire world.”
The Ohio senator explained that emboldening Israel and allied Sunni Arab nations would serve as a “regional counterweight to Iran” and prevent a wider conflict from developing — thereby lessening the odds of a regional war that would necessitate greater American involvement.
“The way that we get there in Israel is by combining the Abraham Accords approach with the defeat of Hamas. That gets us to a place where Israel and the Sunni nations can play a regional counterweight to Iran,” Vance said. “We don’t want a broader regional war. We don’t want to get involved in a broader regional war. The best way to do that is to ensure that Israel, with the Sunni nations, can actually police their own region of the world. That allows us to spend less time and resources on the Middle East and focus more on East Asia, in the same way that we want our own allies to do the job in Europe [with Ukraine].”
Vance noted that while it’s “reasonable” for some people to argue that Hamas and Islamic radicalism can never be permanently defeated as an ideology, he said that the U.S. and Israel can still destroy each terror group “as a functioning military apparatus.”</small></blockquote></ref>

Vance blasted Biden’s “incoherent” handling of [[Oct 7 War|Israel-hamas war]] 2023/4. Reminding: that "Hamas started the war and now, they hide behind Palestinian civilians."<ref>[https://www.vance.senate.gov/press-releases/senator-vance-blasts-president-bidens-incoherent-handling-of-israel-hamas-war/ Senator Vance Blasts President Biden’s “incoherent” Handling Of Israel-hamas War]. Vance.state.gov.
May 12, 2014.
<blockquote><small>
[...]
‘why are Palestinian civilian casualties so high?’ It’s because Hamas started the war and now, they hide behind Palestinian civilians. So if you want to learn the lessons of the last 40 years, the most important thing is we have to defeat Hamas as a viable military organization. You’re never going to defeat the ideology of Hamas, but you can root out those commanders, those final military-trained battalions, and I think you should empower the Israelis to do it.”</small></blockquote></ref>
Vance criticized Biden's delay of weapons to Israel.

Vance was nominated two days after the [[Assassination attempt on President Trump]]. As Vice President, Vance is poised to becoming President Trump's ideological successor, due to President Trump being limited to one more term. The State of Ohio has produced more [[United States President]]s than any other state.

==United States Senate==
Vance was the [[Trump]]-endorsed underdog landslide winner of the [[U.S. Senate]] seat in [[Ohio]], far exceeding early predictions and routing his [[Liz Cheney]]-endorsed opponent, [[Tim Ryan]] in November 2022.

Vance's enormous 7-point margin of victory as a political newcomer solidifies [[President Trump]]'s popularity in the all-important [[Midwest]], as Vance's opponent campaigned against Trump in the 2024 Presidential election.

Senator Vance has been the most courageous in opposing endless funding by the [[United States]] of the [[Russia-Ukraine war]].<ref>[https://www.wkyc.com/article/news/politics/elections/war-ukraine-could-impact-ohio-us-senate-race-tim-ryan-jd-vance/95-a2c5759a-d2c4-4ccd-8dcb-e41ecb62fa3e War in Ukraine could impact Ohio US Senate race between Tim Ryan and JD Vance], Author: Lynna Lai, November 4, 2022. wkyc.com</ref>

Senator Vance explained why the [[Washington, D.C.|Washington]] and [[Western alliance|Western]] [[establishment]] hate [[Russian Federation]] [[President Vladimir Putin]] so much - because Putin made Russia great again after the [[Communist Party of the Soviet Union]] for 70 years, and later the [[CIA]] in the 1990s, had brought Russia down so low.<ref>[https://youtu.be/9mKbu66tgpY Why Does the US Establishment Hate Russia?], Dr. Vladimir Brovkin, Feb 5, 2024.

Sen. Vance said on the floor of the U.S. Senate on November 8, 2023: "Basic questions about Biden’s Ukraine policy, including [[Washington, D.C.|Washington’s]] true strategic objective in the former Soviet republic, haven’t been addressed...Americans are commonly told that the aim is to force Russia out of all Ukrainian territory, including regions that have been annexed by Moscow following overwhelming votes for independence from Kiev...And yet, when you talk to the president’s own administration in private, they admit that is a strategic impossibility...No rational human being in the president’s administration believes that it is possible to throw the Russians out of every inch of Ukrainian territory...So, why is that the public justification offered by many advocates of indefinite, unlimited Ukrainian aid?...Because this debate is fundamentally dishonest...We are not telling the American people the truth because we know that if we did tell them the truth, they would not support an indefinite flow of money to Ukraine”.

It agrees with the [[Ukro Nazi]]s that speech critical of Ukraine is “Russian propaganda,” the sort of “disinformation” now being sanitized under laws enacted in the [[EU]] and the [[UK]].

In a letter to Secretary of State [[Antony Blinken]], Secretary of Defense [[Lloyd Austin]], and Director of National Intelligence [[Avril Haines]], Senator Vance raised concerns over the conduct of [[Sarah Ashton-Cirillo]], who claims to act as a spokesperson for the [[Ukrainian military]]. Senator Vance also requested additional information from the Biden administration regarding this individual. Senator Vance’s letter reads, in part:
:''“In recent days, a video has circulated of an individual who claims to be an English-speaking spokesperson for the Ukrainian military. In the video, this individual, Sarah Ashton-Cirillo, looks directly into the camera and threatens physical [[violence]] to anyone who circulates ‘Russian propaganda.’

:''“A number of reports purport to offer additional information, much of it unconfirmed, regarding Ashton-Cirillo. I’ve seen claims this individual is an American, a former intelligence operative in the United States, and an employee of the Ukrainian government. Others have argued Ashton-Cirillo is pulling an elaborate prank …

:''“I worry American resources could be supporting violence or the threat of violence against people for speaking their mind. Notably, any critic of America’s incoherent policy in Ukraine has been slandered as propagandists, including multiple presidential candidates and American journalists. While we can debate the merits of these accusations, engaging in protected speech should not invite threats of violence—otherwise, the [[First Amendment]] means nothing.”''<ref>[https://www.vance.senate.gov/press-releases/senator-vance-raises-concerns-over-conduct-of-purported-spokesperson-for-the-ukrainian-military/ SENATOR VANCE RAISES CONCERNS OVER CONDUCT OF PURPORTED SPOKESPERSON FOR THE UKRAINIAN MILITARY], Press Release, September 15, 2023.</ref>

[[Nazi]]s, past and present, have long humiliated, attacked, tortured, and murdered political opponents. The problem with Ashton-Carillo is not his menacing threat. The Nazis not only want to kill men, women, and children in [[Lugansk]], [[Donetsk]], [[Zaporizhzhia]], [[Kherson]], [[Crimea]], and Russia, but also those who are opposed to [[United States Government]] and [[NATO]] efforts to collapse Russia and, in the process, start a [[nuclear war]].<ref>[https://kurtnimmo.substack.com/p/ukraine-demotes-nazi-trans-spokesperson Ukraine Demotes Nazi Trans Spokesperson], KURT NIMMO, SEP 20, 2023</ref>

The USG has long supported and funded Nazis. A declassified document from 1950 reveals the CIA worked to clandestinely exploit “these Ukrainian organizations” (the Ukrainian Supreme Council of Liberation and the Supreme Ukrainian Liberation Council).<ref>[https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/AERODYNAMIC%20%20%20VOL.%201_0004.pdf AEROCYNAMIC], 11 April 1950.</ref> Both were formed by the [[Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists]] and the [[Ukrainian Insurgent Army]], the latter known as the perpetrator of [[ethnic cleansing]] massacres in [[Volhynia]] and [[Eastern Galicia]], primarily targeting women and children.

===Polish authoritarianism===
Polish Prime Minister [[Donald Tusk]] tried shaming the Republicans for attempting to block another tranche of aid for Ukraine in a [[tweet]] in Febryuary 2024. Tusk wrote: “Dear Republican Senators of America. [[Ronald Reagan]], who helped millions of us to win back our freedom and independence, must be turning in his grave today. Shame on you.” Tusk's undiplomatic meddling in America’s domestic affairs wasn’t left unanswered, however, since Sen. Vance promptly put Tusk in his place. Vance responded on [[Twitter|X]] as follows: “The new leader of [[Poland]] is arresting political opponents and owes his country’s security to the generosity of mine. He might consider showing some appreciation, or at least toning down his own [[authoritarian]] impulses.” Senator Vance had earlier slammed Tusk’s attacks on press freedom after his [[German]]-backed [[liberal]]-[[globalist]] regime seized control of public media on legally dubious pretexts that the [[conservative]]-[[nationalist]] opposition sharply condemned.<ref>[https://korybko.substack.com/p/senator-jd-vance-put-polish-prime Senator JD Vance Put Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk In His Place], [[ANDREW KORYBKO]], FEB 09, 2024. korybko.substack.com</ref>

===Pro Israel (and its security) vs Ukraine===

In May 2024, Vance used his [[Quincy Institute]] speech to differentiate his opposition to Ukraine aid from his steadfast commitment to [[Israel]]. “I’m supportive of Israel and their war against [[Hamas]]. I certainly admire the Ukrainians who are fighting against Russia, but I do not think that it is in America’s interest to continue to fund an effectively [[perpetual war|never-ending war]] in Ukraine,” Vance said. “It’s sort of weird that this town assumes that Israel and Ukraine are exactly the same. They’re not, of course, and I think it’s important to analyze them in separate buckets.”<ref>[https://jewishinsider.com/2024/05/vance-puts-pro-israel-spin-on-isolationist-worldview-in-quincy-institute-speech/ Vance puts pro-Israel spin on America First worldview in Quincy Institute speech]. Emily Jacobs, ''JI'', May 23, 2024.
<blockquote><small>
Vance used his speech to differentiate his opposition to Ukraine aid from his steadfast commitment to Israel. “I’m supportive of Israel and their war against Hamas. I certainly admire the Ukrainians who are fighting against Russia, but I do not think that it is in America’s interest to continue to fund an effectively never-ending war in Ukraine,” Vance said. “It’s sort of weird that this town assumes that Israel and Ukraine are exactly the same. They’re not, of course, and I think it’s important to analyze them in separate buckets.”
While Vance has distinguished himself as a leading voice against U.S. support for Ukraine in its war against Russia, he has held firm in his support for Israel. He criticized President Joe Biden for delaying offensive weapons transfers and potential sales to Israel while trying to avert a full-scale Rafah invasion earlier this month, and dug in during Thursday’s address on why the America First platform he aligns himself with requires a strong relationship with Israel.
“If we’re going to support Israel, as I think that we should, we have to articulate a reason why it’s in our best interest,” Vance said.
“Israel is one of the most dynamic, certainly on a per capita basis, one of the most dynamic and technologically advanced countries in the world,” Vance went on, citing work done on Israel’s end to “actually give us missile-defense parity. That’s a very important national security objective of the United States of America, and that’s something we’re working with one of the most innovative economies in the world to accomplish.”
“We have to sort of ask ourselves, what do we want out of our Israeli allies? And more importantly, what do we want out of all of our allies writ large? Do we want clients who depend on us, who can’t do anything without us? Or do we want real allies who can actually advance their interests on their own with America playing a leadership role,” he continued.
Vance added that one of the main reasons Americans support Israel is because the United States is a majority-Christian country, and “a majority of citizens of this country think that their Savior, and I count myself a Christian, was born and died and resurrected in that narrow little strip of territory on the Mediterranean.” He then slammed backers of the war in Iraq for “precipitat[ing] the genocide of one of the oldest Christian communities in the entire world.”
The Ohio senator explained that emboldening Israel and allied Sunni Arab nations would serve as a “regional counterweight to Iran” and prevent a wider conflict from developing — thereby lessening the odds of a regional war that would necessitate greater American involvement.
“The way that we get there in Israel is by combining the Abraham Accords approach with the defeat of Hamas. That gets us to a place where Israel and the Sunni nations can play a regional counterweight to Iran,” Vance said. “We don’t want a broader regional war. We don’t want to get involved in a broader regional war. The best way to do that is to ensure that Israel, with the Sunni nations, can actually police their own region of the world. That allows us to spend less time and resources on the Middle East and focus more on East Asia, in the same way that we want our own allies to do the job in Europe [with Ukraine].”
Vance noted that while it’s “reasonable” for some people to argue that Hamas and Islamic radicalism can never be permanently defeated as an ideology, he said that the U.S. and Israel can still destroy each terror group “as a functioning military apparatus.”</small></blockquote></ref>

Vance blasted Biden’s “incoherent” handling of [[Oct 7 War|Israel-hamas war]] 2023/4. Reminding: that "Hamas started the war and now, they hide behind Palestinian civilians."<ref>[https://www.vance.senate.gov/press-releases/senator-vance-blasts-president-bidens-incoherent-handling-of-israel-hamas-war/ Senator Vance Blasts President Biden’s “incoherent” Handling Of Israel-hamas War].

May 12, 2014.
<blockquote><small>
[...]
‘why are Palestinian civilian casualties so high?’ It’s because Hamas started the war and now, they hide behind Palestinian civilians. So if you want to learn the lessons of the last 40 years, the most important thing is we have to defeat Hamas as a viable military organization. You’re never going to defeat the ideology of Hamas, but you can root out those commanders, those final military-trained battalions, and I think you should empower the Israelis to do it.”</small></blockquote></ref>
Vance criticized Biden's delay of weapons to Israel.

'''Naturopathy''' is a New Age alternative [[medicine]]. The practice of this medicine include [[vegetarianism]], nutritional and [[exercise]] counseling, [[hydrotherapy]], heliotherapy, thalassotherapy, manual therapy, herbalism, [[acupuncture]], aromatherapy, electrotherapy, magnetotherapy, musictherapy, chromotherapy, [[homeopathy]] and [[chiropractic]].

Some important names in naturopathy are: Vincent Priessnitz (1799-1852), Theodor Hahn (1824-1883), Arnold Rikli (1823-1906), [[Sebastian Kneipp]] (1824-1897), Tadeo Wiesent (1858-1926), Wilhelm Winternitz, [[Benedict Lust]] (1872-1945), Eduardo Alfonso, [[Manuel Lezaeta]], [[Adrian Vander|Adrian van der Put]], Nicolás Capo and José Castro.

In 1902, [[Benedict Lust]] organized the Naturopathic Society of America, which was reorganized as the American Naturopathic Association (ANA) in 1919. [http://www.naturalhealth.org/tradnaturo/history3.html#ana] In America, licensing and training requirements vary from state to state. In some countries the practice of naturopathic medicine is unregulated or the industry is self regulated.

::: ''Naturopathy is a whole medical system that originated in Europe. Naturopathy aims to support the body's ability to heal itself through the use of dietary and lifestyle changes together with therapies such as herbs, massage, and joint manipulation; the emphasis is on supporting [[health]] rather than combating disease.''

[[File:States allowing illegal immigrants to vote.jpg|thumb|300px|right|States allowing [[illegal immigrant]]s to vote in grey. [[Kamala Harris]] carried only states that do not require [[Voter ID]].<ref>[https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/election-aftermath-notes-on-the-grand Election Aftermath: Notes on the 'Grand Realignment'], Simplicius, Nov 06, 2024. simplicius76.substack.com</ref>]]
The '''2024 United States presidential election''', the 60th quadrennial presidential election, was held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024. Both the electoral college and the popular vote were won comfortably by [[Donald Trump]], the [[Republican]] nominee who had previously served as the 45th President of the United States. Under pressure by [[power-brokers against Biden]], he abruptly withdrew on July 21, despite having said two days earlier that he would continue in the race. [[President Donald Trump]] won an overwhelming majority of the delegates to clinch the [[Republican Party]] nomination on March 12, 2024. [[Biden impeachment|Impeachment proceedings]] were initiated against Joe Biden in September 2023 and a report was issued on his [[criminal]] conduct in February 2024, which the [[Biden DOJ]] declined to prosecute on the grounds of his mental fitness to stand trial.<ref>[https://technofog.substack.com/p/the-biden-transcripts The Biden Transcripts], TECHNO FOG, MAR 12, 2024. technofog.substack.com</ref> Hastily, [[Dem]]s announced that [[Kamala Harris]] would be the new nominee.

A debate between Trump and Biden took place on June 27 on [[CNN]], without an in-person audience at Biden's insistence (perhaps audience noises were too distracting to him in his mentally declining state). In retrospect, it appears to have been a setup against Biden, as he was not given customary make-up for television and looked as pale as a ghost. Immediately afterward [[liberal]] commentators were uoddly nanimous in demanding that he immediately withdraw from the race, which was a reaction too quick and too strong not to have been planned beforehand.

A second debate was scheduled for September 10 on [[ABC]], and when [[Kamala Harris]] replaced [[Biden]] as the [[Dem]] nominee this became the [[Trump-Harris Debate]].

A ''[[New York Times]]'' Poll in March 2024 had shown that non-white voters, a group Biden carried by over 50% in 2020, were shifting away from Democrats.<ref>https://citizenwatchreport.com/non-white-voters-shifting-from-democrats/</ref> When Biden was the [[Dem]] presumptive nominee, Russia reportedly meddled in the election to favor Biden's campaign.<ref>[https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/politics/2024/02/15/putin-wants-biden-to-win-us-election/#:~:text=Asked%20who%20Russia%20would%20like,Biden's%20age%20and%20mental%20acuity. Putin says he wants Biden to win US election]</ref>

== Primaries ==

On January 15, 2024, the [[GOP]] held its [[Iowa Caucuses]], which was two weeks sooner than in 2020. A week later was be the [[New Hampshire]] primary, on Tuesday, January 23, and then the next GOP primary was not until Saturday, February 24, in [[South Carolina]]. Michigan followed that, on Tuesday, February 17.<ref>https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2023/gop-democrat-primary-election-schedule-2024/</ref>

[[Democrat]]s held theirs in a different sequence this time, to boost [[Biden]]. South Carolina began on Saturday, February 3, then Nevada three days later, on Tuesday, February 6, and subsequently Michigan on Tuesday, February 27.

Democrat nominee [[Kamala Harris]] did not participate in any [[primary]] or [[caucus]] and did not receive any votes from [[Democratic]] voters.

==Candidates==

===Republican Party===

Former President [[Donald Trump]] is considered a likely candidate to reclaim his office. Notwithstanding "polling data" to the contrary, he maintains a high popularity level among Republican voters who identify as conservative or very conservative. However, only one time has a former President ever reclaimed the office, that being [[Grover Cleveland]] who lost to, and then defeated, [[Benjamin Harrison]]. [[Florida]] Gov. [[Ron DeSantis]] and more than a half-dozen other candidates are funded by [[dark money]] [[globalist]]s.
[[File:Trump support August 24, 2023.PNG|left|250px|thumb|Trump support (purple line) after 4 [[sham indictment]]s to interfere in American democracy and the [[2024 Presidential election interference|2024 presidential election]].]]
If former President Trump fails to secure the nomination, two current Governors -- [[Greg Abbott]] of [[Texas]] and [[Ron DeSantis]] of [[Florida]] -- have had their names floated as possible candidates. Both lead conservative states with fast-growing populations -- Texas is the second-largest state, Florida the third -- and each state is expected to gain at least one seat in the [[Electoral College]] once official Census numbers are announced. Both Abbott and DeSantis would be in the middle of their second terms in office in 2024. DeSantis is term-limited under Florida law, and furthermore Florida law would have to change to allow him to keep his office while seeking the Presidency; Abbott is not term-limited and could run for President while keeping his seat, not having to resign until and unless elected (as did his predecessor [[George W. Bush]] in 2000, who remained in the Governor's office until the contentious election was finally settled, then resigned prior to the beginning of the Texas Legislature's session), as Texas law has neither of the Florida law's restrictions.

The [[Republican Party]] announced debate rules beginning with its requirement that each candidate be a [[natural-born citizen]],<ref>https://gop.com/press-release/rnc-announces-criteria-and-date-for-first-debate-in-milwaukee/</ref> but then hypocritically failed to apply that to disqualify [[Nikki Haley]] and [[Vivek Ramaswamy]].

During the first nationally televised presidential debate from [[Milwaukee]] scheduled for August 23, 2023 at 9 PM EDT on [[Fox News]], President Trump declined to participate, and offered a competing alternative interview with fired Fox News host [[Tucker Carlson]] on X, formerly known as [[Twitter]], in the same timeslot. The Trump interview drew 231,000,000 views,<ref>https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2023/08/24/president-trump-notes-almost-a-quarter-billion-views-for-his-tucker-carlson-interview-while-preparing-for-arrest-at-730pm-et-in-atlanta/</ref> the most viewed social media interview in the history of [[social media]]. The debate on cable network news, a relic of a bygone era, averaged a paltry 13 million views.<ref>https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/elections/first-2024-gop-presidential-primary-debate-averaged-13-million-viewers</ref>

By January 23, 2024, President Trump essentially wrapped up the GOP nomination with his landslide wins in the [[Iowa caucus]]es and [[New Hampshire]] primary.<ref>https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/elections/analysis-trumps-start-2024-election-historic-haleys-new-hampshire-finish</ref>

President Trump secured a majority of the delegates to clinch the Republican Party nomination for the third in a row on March 12, 2024.

As it is highly unusual for an incumbent President who is eligible for a second term in office not to seek such<ref>Excluding candidates who served the remainder of a predecessor's term and then a full term of their own, only four Presidents -- [[James Polk]], [[Franklin Pierce]], [[James Buchanan]], and [[Rutherford Hayes]] -- have declined to seek a second term after serving one full term. [[Lyndon Johnson]] who was eligible for a second term, dropped out after being challenged by [[Robert Kennedy, Sr.]] during a period of economic and civil unrest at home, and an unpopular [[proxy war]] against [[Russia]] abroad.</ref>, [[Joe Biden]] announced his candidacy for re-election in April 2023. As the incumbent he should have an advantage over a primary challenger for the nomination, however no incumbent in recent memory with a primary challenger has won re-election in the general election. In September 2023, impeachment proceedings were initiated against Biden by the [[US House of Representatives]].

[[Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.]], heir of the Kennedy mantle who espouses much of his father and uncle's ideas, and [[Marianne Williamson]] were the first to announce challenges to Biden's leadership. After Kennedy was denied a debate with all declared candidates by the DNC, Kennedy dropped out of the Democrat party to run on a third-party ticket. [[Rep. Dean Phillips]] of [[Minnesota]] and legalized-[[bestiality]] advocate [[Cenk Uygur]] of ''[[the Young Turks]]'' both announced candidacy for the nomination in October 2023.<ref>https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/time-for-a-new-candidate-cenk-uygur-announces-2024-presidential-run-as-democratic-candidate-can-he-challenge-biden-s-popularity/ss-AA1iuCVO#:</ref>

If so, then it is likely that current Vice President [[Kamala Harris]] will run, either as the incumbent VP or the incumbent President. Her electability has also been called into question, but as an incumbent (either as VP or POTUS) she is supposed to have an advantage. Former mayor over the [[systemically racist]] South Bend police department, Trans Sec. [[Pete Buttigieg]] has been named as a possible replacement.<ref>https://freebeacon.com/columns/fight-night-kamala-v-pete/</ref> The [[Pelosi]] acolyte presiding over the catastrophe that has become [[California]], [[Gavin Newsom]] is being considered by party machine regulars, insiders and donors.

By August 2023, reports were circulating that the [[DNC]]-aligned [[MSM]] was set to pull the trigger on Biden and begin paving the way for his replacement by someone other than RFK Jr. However, the problem remained of disposing of [[Kamala Harris]] as well, out of the justifiable fear that DNC insiders may be called out publicly for the [[racist]]s that they are.

===Third-Party Candidates===

[[Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.]] announced his candidacy on a third party ticket on October 9, 2023.

Both the Libertarian Party and the Green Party will almost likely run candidates of their own, being the two largest of the "third parties" with ballot status in all 50 United States.<ref>Some parties with ballot status in 36 states can attract nationwide attention.</ref> In [[Europe]] where the [[Green Party]] originated, because the modern [[Russian Federation]] has rejected [[Soviet]] [[communism]] and adopted [[Orthodox Christianity]], the Green party has abandoned its traditional anti-war positions and has become a leading War Party in support of [[globalism]], the [[Great Reset]], and the [[military industrial complex]]. It has yet to be seen what the future of the American Green party is.

Other minor parties and non-affiliated candidates are expected to run as well. The last such candidate to have any effect on the overall outcome was [[Ross Perot]] in his two attempts, both times gaining enough votes to allow [[Bill Clinton]] to win states by a plurality instead of a majority (votes that likely would have gone to the Republican candidate in both cases). [[West Virginia]] Sen. [[Joe Manchin]], affiliated with the "No Label" movement,<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/05/02/joe-manchin-indicates-possibly-leaving-democrat-party-before-2024/ Joe Manchin Indicates Possibly Leaving Democrat Party Before 2024]. </ref> was also mentioned as a rebuke to the [[far left]] craziness which dominates the DNC voter base in 2024.<ref>https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/3982358-manchin-third-party-white-house-bid/</ref> Manchin officially withdrew his name from consideration on February 16, 2024.<ref>https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/joe-manchin-not-running-for-president-5588721</ref>

Biden's performance in a June 27, 2024 televised debate at [[CNN]] headquarters in [[Atlanta]], in which the public was excluded, was an unmitigated disaster for the Democrat nominee and hopes for the party. CNN host [[Jake Tapper]], one the moderators of the Trump-Biden debate, days later warned the American people: "Democratic officials have tried to spin this in many ways...They said President Biden just had a cold...They said it was just one off night, akin to when [[President Obama]] in 2012 was rusty and seemed a little huffy...However, behind the scenes, make no mistake, most Democratic officials witnessed the same shocking spectacle that you did, the difficulty that the presumptive Democratic nominee, the current President of the United States, had just articulating his basic thoughts during the 90 minutes of the debate...The spinning is all very reminiscent of the George Orwell quote from the book 1984...It’s relevant again today...The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears...It was their final, most essential command".<ref>[https://www.foxnews.com/media/tapper-blasts-democrats-orwellian-tactics-trying-convince-public-not-believe-what-you-saw-debate Tapper blasts Democrats' Orwellian tactics trying to convince public to 'not believe what you saw' at debate], ''Fox News'', July 2, 2024</ref>

A post-debate [[CBS News]]/YouGov poll shows that 72% of registered voters think Biden does not have the “mental & cognitive health to serve as president,” while only 27% think he does; 63% think Biden should not be running for president while only 37% think he should be.

President of the United States of America

2024-11-06T18:38:40Z

SteKelBry: /* Current president */

[[Image:Presidential seal 506x508.gif|thumb|The [[United States]] Presidential Seal]]
The '''President of the United States''' is the head of the [[United States of America|U.S.]] [[Executive Branch]]. As the [[head of state]] and [[head of government]] of the [[United States of America]], the president is one of the most powerful people in the [[world]]. The writers of the [[United States Constitution|Constitution]] recognized that they were writing a job description which, comparable to [[Kingdom of Great Britain|Britain]], would combine the office of the [[prime minister]] and position of the [[Monarchy|monarch]]. According to the [[Founding Fathers]] of the USA, at that time, the monarchy of [[Kingdom of Great Britain|Great Britain]] did not appear to serve the common man and the Founding Fathers wanted a [[government]] that did.

==Current president==
The current office holder is [[Joseph Biden]], who swore an oath to uphold the laws of the United States on January 20, 2021. However, Biden's election has been disputed due to credible evidence of [[Democrat election fraud|extensive voter fraud]].<ref>[https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/be36dc6d-0df4-4c20-addf-fca72be46150/The%20Navarro%20Report%20Volume%20III%20Final%201.13.21-0001.pdf Navarro Report, Volume 3]</ref> As a result, many acknowledge the previous president, [[Donald Trump]], to having been robbed by the [[Democratic party]].

As a result of the [[2024 presidential election]], [[Donald Trump]] is now president-elect of the United States.

==Election==
The president is elected every four years by the American people, although not through a popular vote but rather through the [[Electoral College]]. This process makes the presidency one of the few elected officials in the [[United States of America]] chosen indirectly. The Founding Fathers implemented this procedure to ensure the relevance of smaller states in the voting process.

==Term limits==
Prior to [[Franklin Delano Roosevelt]], presidents voluntarily limited themselves to two terms as an homage to [[George Washington]]. After Franklin D. Roosevelt served a little over twelve years in office, [[Congress]] passed the 22nd [[Constitutional Amendment]] restricting future presidents to two terms.

However, if the vice president succeeds to the presidency with no more than two years left in the prior president's term, he is allowed to run for two full terms, raising the potential time in office to ten years.

The first president to whom term limits applied was [[Dwight D. Eisenhower]].

<sup>1</sup> There is doubt as to the legitimacy and legality of Obama's claim to the Presidency due to his refusal to disclose his legitimate birth records (the fraudulent "birth certificate" he released notwithstanding, later complicated by his own admission that he originally came from [[Kenya]]<ref>[https://www.conservativenewsandviews.com/2018/08/03/constitution/barack-hussein-obama-foreign-born/ Barack Hussein Obama: Con Man & Criminal Admits He is Foreign-Born] at Conservative News and Views</ref><ref>[https://thewashingtonstandard.com/obama-rubs-americas-nose-in-it-from-kenya-im-the-first-american-president-from-kenya/ Obama Rubs America’s Nose In It From Kenya: “I’m The First Sitting American President To Come From Kenya”] at the Washington Standard (Contains minutes from the Kenyan Parliament recorded March 25, 2010 where Obama's true origins are revealed)</ref>) and his history prior to his announcing his plan to run for President as a Democrat candidate in 2007. He has determined to keep his records sealed because revelation of such would reveal that, under [[United States Constitution:Article II|Article II, Section 1 of the United States Constitution]] (which prohibits those who are not natural-born United States citizens from eligibility for the office of President), he was not only not eligible to hold the office but was ineligible to even run for the Presidency, thereby making both his Presidential run and his subsequent assumption of the office illegal under the Constitution. As such, Obama's ineligibility to run for or hold the office of President would mean that the United States of America did not have a legitimate executive from January 20, 2009 (the day that Obama assumed the office<ref>[https://www.conservativenewsandviews.com/2016/05/01/accountability/executive/barack-obama-stole-america/ Barack Obama Stole America] at Conservative News and Views</ref>) until January 20, 2017 when Donald Trump was sworn into office.

'''Mar-a-Lago''' is a resort in Palm Beach, [[Florida]]. As of January 2021, it is the current residence of 45th [[President of the United States]] [[Donald Trump]].<ref>https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/news/2021/01/18/moving-trucks-arrive-mar-lago/4203446001/</ref>

Despite having a widely recognized market value of $300 million and potentially far more, an anti-[[Trump]] [[New York]] court declared on Sept. 26th that its value was an absurdly low $18 million in order to hold that Trump had somehow fraudulently inflated its value.

==History==

The home was built for Marjorie Merriweather Post, an American businesswoman and socialite.<ref>https://www.wsj.com/articles/marjorie-merriweather-post-built-mar-a-lago-but-her-other-homes-were-presidential-too-11591894827</ref> Construction started in 1924 and successfully finished three years later in 1927. In 1985, Trump purchased the property for $10 million.<ref>https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/donald-trump-mar-a-lago.html/</ref>

==Trump Residence==

Since Donald Trump lost the election due to [[election fraud]], he moved into the home following the conclusion of his term on January 20, 2021.<ref>https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/news/2021/01/18/moving-trucks-arrive-mar-lago/4203446001/</ref> Since moving in, some communist residents of Palm Beach protested his official residence, stating that, since Mar-a-Lago is a club, Trump could not live there. However, the Palm Beach City Council concluded the investigation, with their verdict favoring Trump. The city council concluded that Trump could live there in [[good faith]] as a club employee.<ref>https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-56017225</ref>

==Wikipedia Bias==

The [[liberal]] wiki website, [[Wikipedia]], once had Mar-a-Lago as the second largest home in the [[United States]], second only to the Biltmore Estate.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_largest_houses_in_the_United_States&oldid=1025631382</ref> However, because of their liberal bias and because it is the current residence of Trump, they moved the home all the way to the twentieth position of the list.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_houses_in_the_United_States</ref> As of October 2024, Wikipedia had the home ranked as the 77th place on the list.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_houses_in_the_United_States</ref>

SteKelBry:

'''Jeremy Herrell''' is a [[conservative]] [[Christian]] [[radio]] talk show host. He is the host of Live from America with Jeremy Herrell. His [[Facebook]] page was taken down on February 3, 2021. Before he was silenced, he was very popular on his Facebook page named "'''HERE WE GO'''." After being silenced on the liberal social media platform, Herrell continued his famed work on [[YouTube]], his personal website jeremyherrell.com <ref>https://jeremyherrell.com/</ref>and other [[podcast]]-related websites, such as RSS.com. However, in October 2021, [[YouTube]] ultimately took down his channel. He continues to be a prominent figure on the YouTube-equivalent site, [[Rumble]].

Whilst being a talk show host, Herrell is also famed for being a singer-songwriter. He writes and produces songs of the [[hip-hop]] genre. His songs are based on conservative, Christian values. His first song, "Build the Wall,” is based on President [[Donald Trump]]'s campaign promise on building a [[border]] wall along the Southern border between the [[United States of America]] and [[Mexico]]. Collectively, Herrell has written and produced a total of eight [[hip-hop]] songs in the time span of 2017-2020. He has stated previously that he will be writing and producing more songs in the future.

Herrell has been unfairly targeted by the [[liberal]] [[fact-checking]] website [[PolitiFact]] for bringing out the fact that there was [[election fraud]] in the [[2020 presidential election]].<ref>https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/nov/18/facebook-posts/joe-biden-did-not-hire-mob-fabricate-ballots-phila/?ref=tjournal.ru</ref> [[USAToday]] has also attempted to fact-check Herrell.<ref>https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/11/12/fact-check-electoral-maps-showing-donald-trump-lead-false/6261153002/</ref>

As of November 2021, Herrell has over 19,000 subscribers on the conservative platform [[Telegram]].

On November 9, 2021, Harrell announced on his morning show that he will be running for a New Hampshire State House seat in his city of Claremont.<ref>https://rumble.com/voyjk9-live-from-america-11.9.21-11am-nh-state-representative-jeremy-herrell....html</ref> He subsequently lost.

'''James David Vance''' (born in August 2, 1984; age 39) is a [[conservative populist]] senator from [[Ohio]], who was nominated to be the vice president on [[Trump]]'s ticket in the [[2024 presidential election]]. Vance was the [[Trump]]-endorsed underdog landslide winner of the [[U.S. Senate]] seat in [[Ohio]], far exceeding early predictions and routing his [[Liz Cheney]]-endorsed opponent, [[Tim Ryan]] in November 2022.

An outspoken tech entrepreneur who was the best-selling author of the “Hillbilly Elegy,” JD Vance announced his candidacy amid many skeptics on June 29, 2021.<ref>James Arkin, [https://www.politico.com/news/2021/07/01/jd-vance-ohio-senate-primary-497754 J.D. Vance joins already chaotic Ohio Senate primary], ''Politico'', July 1, 2021.</ref> On April 16, 2022, Trump endorsed Vance in his Senate primary race against many opponents, thereby rejecting the pro-[[Establishment]], [[Mike Pence]]-endorsed candidate [[Josh Mandel]].

Vance has been the most courageous in opposing endless funding by the [[United States]] of the [[Russia-Ukraine war]].<ref>[https://www.wkyc.com/article/news/politics/elections/war-ukraine-could-impact-ohio-us-senate-race-tim-ryan-jd-vance/95-a2c5759a-d2c4-4ccd-8dcb-e41ecb62fa3e War in Ukraine could impact Ohio US Senate race between Tim Ryan and JD Vance], Author: Lynna Lai, November 4, 2022. wkyc.com</ref>

Vance's enormous 7-point margin of victory as a political newcomer solidifies [[Trump]]'s popularity in the all-important [[Midwest]], as Vance's opponent campaigned against Trump in this election.

Pro-[[Trump]] tech billionaire Peter Thiel has long been a supporter of J.D. Vance.

On July 15, 2024, [[Trump]] selected JD Vance as VP / his running mate for the 2024 election.<ref>[https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4708066-donald-trump-jd-vance-vice-president-joe-biden/ Trump picks JD Vance for VP]

Vance was nominated to be the Republican party Vice Presidential candidate on July 15, 2024, two days after the [[Assassination attempt on President Trump]]. As Vice President, Vance is poised to becoming President Trump's ideological successor, due to President Trump is limited to one more term. The State of Ohio has produced more [[United States President]]s than any other state.

Despite Vance's criticism of Trump way back in 2016, Trump graciously wrote:<ref>Haley Bemiller, [https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2022/04/19/ohio-senate-race-j-d-vance-questioned-trumps-likeness-hitler/7372220001/ Vance questioned whether Trump is like Hitler in 2016 message], ''Cincinnati.com'', April 20, 2022</ref>
<blockquote>"Like some others, J.D. Vance may have said some not-so-great things about me in the past, but he gets it now, and I have seen that in spades."</blockquote>

A [[conservative populism|conservative populist]] capable of winning a general election, J.D. Vance is a leader among Republican candidates in speaking out against increased entanglement by [[Biden]] of the [[United States]] in the [[Russia Ukraine conflict 2022|Russian Ukraine conflict]].

==Foreign affairs==
Senator Vance explained why the [[Washington, D.C.|Washington]] and [[Western alliance|Western]] [[establishment]] hate [[Russian Federation]] [[President Vladimir Putin]] so much - because Putin made Russia great again after the [[Communist Party of the Soviet Union]] for 70 years, and later the [[CIA]] in the 1990s, had brought Russia down so low.<ref>[https://youtu.be/9mKbu66tgpY Why Does the US Establishment Hate Russia?], Dr. Vladimir Brovkin, Feb 5, 2024.

Despite his conservative position on Russia, Vance is a hawk on Israel, which brings his overall credentials into question.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/07/16/watch-j-d-vance-advocates-for-robust-u-s-support-of-israel-in-line-with-america-first-policy/</ref>

It agrees with the [[Ukro Nazi]]s that speech critical of Ukraine is “Russian propaganda,” the sort of “disinformation” now being sanitized under laws enacted in the [[EU]] and the [[UK]]. The United States Government and [[Big Tech|corporate social media]] deplatform and demonetize domestic critics.

In a letter to Secretary of State [[Antony Blinken]], Secretary of Defense [[Lloyd Austin]], and Director of National Intelligence [[Avril Haines]], Senator Vance raised concerns over the conduct of [[Sarah Ashton-Cirillo]], who claims to act as a spokesperson for the [[Ukrainian military]]. Senator Vance also requested additional information from the Biden administration regarding this individual. Senator Vance’s letter reads, in part:

:''“In recent days, a video has circulated of an individual who claims to be an English-speaking spokesperson for the Ukrainian military. In the video, this individual, Sarah Ashton-Cirillo, looks directly into the camera and threatens physical [[violence]] to anyone who circulates ‘Russian propaganda.’

:''“A number of reports purport to offer additional information, much of it unconfirmed, regarding Ashton-Cirillo. I’ve seen claims this individual is an American, a former intelligence operative in the United States, and an employee of the Ukrainian government. Others have argued Ashton-Cirillo is pulling an elaborate prank …

:''“I worry American resources could be supporting violence or the threat of violence against people for speaking their mind. Notably, any critic of America’s incoherent policy in Ukraine has been slandered as propagandists, including multiple presidential candidates and American journalists. While we can debate the merits of these accusations, engaging in protected speech should not invite threats of violence—otherwise, the [[First Amendment]] means nothing.”''<ref>[https://www.vance.senate.gov/press-releases/senator-vance-raises-concerns-over-conduct-of-purported-spokesperson-for-the-ukrainian-military/ SENATOR VANCE RAISES CONCERNS OVER CONDUCT OF PURPORTED SPOKESPERSON FOR THE UKRAINIAN MILITARY], Press Release, September 15, 2023.</ref>

[[Nazi]]s, past and present, have long humiliated, attacked, tortured, and murdered political opponents. The problem with Ashton-Carillo is not his menacing threat. The Nazis not only want to kill men, women, and children in [[Lugansk]], [[Donetsk]], [[Zaporizhzhia]], [[Kherson]], [[Crimea]], and Russia, but also those who are opposed to [[United States Government]] and [[NATO]] efforts to collapse Russia and, in the process, start a [[nuclear war]].<ref>[https://kurtnimmo.substack.com/p/ukraine-demotes-nazi-trans-spokesperson Ukraine Demotes Nazi Trans Spokesperson], KURT NIMMO, SEP 20, 2023</ref>

The USG has long supported and funded Nazis. A declassified document from 1950 reveals the CIA worked to clandestinely exploit “these Ukrainian organizations” (the Ukrainian Supreme Council of Liberation and the Supreme Ukrainian Liberation Council).<ref>[https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/AERODYNAMIC%20%20%20VOL.%201_0004.pdf AEROCYNAMIC], 11 April 1950.</ref> Both were formed by the [[Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists]] and the [[Ukrainian Insurgent Army]], the latter known as the perpetrator of [[ethnic cleansing]] massacres in [[Volhynia]] and [[Eastern Galicia]], primarily targeting women and children.

Sen. Vance said on the floor of the U.S. Senate on November 8, 2023: "Basic questions about Biden’s Ukraine policy, including [[Washington, D.C.|Washington’s]] true strategic objective in the former Soviet republic, haven’t been addressed...Americans are commonly told that the aim is to force Russia out of all Ukrainian territory, including regions that have been annexed by Moscow following overwhelming votes for independence from Kiev...And yet, when you talk to the president’s own administration in private, they admit that is a strategic impossibility...No rational human being in the president’s administration believes that it is possible to throw the Russians out of every inch of Ukrainian territory...So, why is that the public justification offered by many advocates of indefinite, unlimited Ukrainian aid?...Because this debate is fundamentally dishonest...We are not telling the American people the truth because we know that if we did tell them the truth, they would not support an indefinite flow of money to Ukraine”.

===Polish authoritarianism===
Polish Prime Minister [[Donald Tusk]] tried shaming the Republicans for attempting to block another tranche of aid for Ukraine in a [[tweet]] in Febryuary 2024. Tusk wrote: “Dear Republican Senators of America. [[Ronald Reagan]], who helped millions of us to win back our freedom and independence, must be turning in his grave today.

Vance responded on [[Twitter|X]] as follows: “The new leader of [[Poland]] is arresting political opponents and owes his country’s security to the generosity of mine. He might consider showing some appreciation, or at least toning down his own [[authoritarian]] impulses.” Senator Vance had earlier slammed Tusk’s attacks on press freedom after his [[German]]-backed [[liberal]]-[[globalist]] regime seized control of public media on legally dubious pretexts that the [[conservative]]-[[nationalist]] opposition sharply condemned.<ref>[https://korybko.substack.com/p/senator-jd-vance-put-polish-prime Senator JD Vance Put Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk In His Place], ANDREW KORYBKO, FEB 09, 2024. korybko.substack.com</ref>

===Pro Israel (and its security) vs Ukraine===

In May 2024, Vance used his [[Quincy Institute]] speech to differentiate his opposition to Ukraine aid from his steadfast commitment to [[Israel]]. “I’m supportive of Israel and their war against [[Hamas]]. I certainly admire the Ukrainians who are fighting against Russia, but I do not think that it is in America’s interest to continue to fund an effectively [[perpetual war|never-ending war]] in Ukraine,” Vance said. “It’s sort of weird that this town assumes that Israel and Ukraine are exactly the same.

Vance used his speech to differentiate his opposition to Ukraine aid from his steadfast commitment to Israel. “I’m supportive of Israel and their war against Hamas. I certainly admire the Ukrainians who are fighting against Russia, but I do not think that it is in America’s interest to continue to fund an effectively never-ending war in Ukraine,” Vance said. “It’s sort of weird that this town assumes that Israel and Ukraine are exactly the same. They’re not, of course, and I think it’s important to analyze them in separate buckets.”
While Vance has distinguished himself as a leading voice against U.S. support for Ukraine in its war against Russia, he has held firm in his support for Israel. He criticized President Joe Biden for delaying offensive weapons transfers and potential sales to Israel while trying to avert a full-scale Rafah invasion earlier this month, and dug in during Thursday’s address on why the America First platform he aligns himself with requires a strong relationship with Israel.
“If we’re going to support Israel, as I think that we should, we have to articulate a reason why it’s in our best interest,” Vance said.
“Israel is one of the most dynamic, certainly on a per capita basis, one of the most dynamic and technologically advanced countries in the world,” Vance went on, citing work done on Israel’s end to “actually give us missile-defense parity. That’s a very important national security objective of the United States of America, and that’s something we’re working with one of the most innovative economies in the world to accomplish.”
“We have to sort of ask ourselves, what do we want out of our Israeli allies? And more importantly, what do we want out of all of our allies writ large? Do we want clients who depend on us, who can’t do anything without us? Or do we want real allies who can actually advance their interests on their own with America playing a leadership role,” he continued.
Vance added that one of the main reasons Americans support Israel is because the United States is a majority-Christian country, and “a majority of citizens of this country think that their Savior, and I count myself a Christian, was born and died and resurrected in that narrow little strip of territory on the Mediterranean.” He then slammed backers of the war in Iraq for “precipitat[ing] the genocide of one of the oldest Christian communities in the entire world.”
The Ohio senator explained that emboldening Israel and allied Sunni Arab nations would serve as a “regional counterweight to Iran” and prevent a wider conflict from developing — thereby lessening the odds of a regional war that would necessitate greater American involvement.
“The way that we get there in Israel is by combining the Abraham Accords approach with the defeat of Hamas. That gets us to a place where Israel and the Sunni nations can play a regional counterweight to Iran,” Vance said. “We don’t want a broader regional war. We don’t want to get involved in a broader regional war. The best way to do that is to ensure that Israel, with the Sunni nations, can actually police their own region of the world. That allows us to spend less time and resources on the Middle East and focus more on East Asia, in the same way that we want our own allies to do the job in Europe [with Ukraine].”
Vance noted that while it’s “reasonable” for some people to argue that Hamas and Islamic radicalism can never be permanently defeated as an ideology, he said that the U.S. and Israel can still destroy each terror group “as a functioning military apparatus.”</small></blockquote></ref>

'''James David Vance''' (born in August 2, 1984; age 39) is a [[conservative populist]] senator from [[Ohio]], who was nominated to be the vice president on [[Trump]]'s ticket in the [[2024 presidential election]]. Vance was the [[Trump]]-endorsed underdog landslide winner of the [[U.S. Senate]] seat in [[Ohio]], far exceeding early predictions and routing his [[Liz Cheney]]-endorsed opponent in November 2022.

Vance's enormous 7-point margin of victory as a political newcomer solidifies [[Trump]]'s popularity in the all-important [[Midwest]], as Vance's opponent campaigned against Trump in this election.

==Foreign affairs==
Senator Vance explained why the [[Washington, D.C.|Washington]] and [[Western alliance|Western]] [[establishment]] hate [[Russian Federation]] [[President Vladimir Putin]] so much - because Putin made Russia great again after the [[Communist Party of the Soviet Union]] for 70 years, and later the [[CIA]] in the 1990s, had brought Russia down so low.<ref>[https://youtu.be/9mKbu66tgpY Why Does the US Establishment Hate Russia?], Dr. Vladimir Brovkin, Feb 5, 2024.

It agrees with the [[Ukro Nazi]]s that speech critical of Ukraine is “Russian propaganda,” the sort of “disinformation” now being sanitized under laws enacted in the [[EU]] and the [[UK]]. The United States Government and [[Big Tech|corporate social media]] deplatform and demonetize domestic critics.

In a letter to Secretary of State [[Antony Blinken]], Secretary of Defense [[Lloyd Austin]], and Director of National Intelligence [[Avril Haines]], Senator Vance raised concerns over the conduct of [[Sarah Ashton-Cirillo]], who claims to act as a spokesperson for the [[Ukrainian military]]. Senator Vance also requested additional information from the Biden administration regarding this individual. Senator Vance’s letter reads, in part:

:''“In recent days, a video has circulated of an individual who claims to be an English-speaking spokesperson for the Ukrainian military. In the video, this individual, Sarah Ashton-Cirillo, looks directly into the camera and threatens physical [[violence]] to anyone who circulates ‘Russian propaganda.’

:''“A number of reports purport to offer additional information, much of it unconfirmed, regarding Ashton-Cirillo. I’ve seen claims this individual is an American, a former intelligence operative in the United States, and an employee of the Ukrainian government. Others have argued Ashton-Cirillo is pulling an elaborate prank …

:''“I worry American resources could be supporting violence or the threat of violence against people for speaking their mind. Notably, any critic of America’s incoherent policy in Ukraine has been slandered as propagandists, including multiple presidential candidates and American journalists. While we can debate the merits of these accusations, engaging in protected speech should not invite threats of violence—otherwise, the [[First Amendment]] means nothing.”''<ref>[https://www.vance.senate.gov/press-releases/senator-vance-raises-concerns-over-conduct-of-purported-spokesperson-for-the-ukrainian-military/ SENATOR VANCE RAISES CONCERNS OVER CONDUCT OF PURPORTED SPOKESPERSON FOR THE UKRAINIAN MILITARY], Press Release, September 15, 2023.</ref>

[[Nazi]]s, past and present, have long humiliated, attacked, tortured, and murdered political opponents. The problem with Ashton-Carillo is not his menacing threat. The Nazis not only want to kill men, women, and children in [[Lugansk]], [[Donetsk]], [[Zaporizhzhia]], [[Kherson]], [[Crimea]], and Russia, but also those who are opposed to [[United States Government]] and [[NATO]] efforts to collapse Russia and, in the process, start a [[nuclear war]].<ref>[https://kurtnimmo.substack.com/p/ukraine-demotes-nazi-trans-spokesperson Ukraine Demotes Nazi Trans Spokesperson], KURT NIMMO, SEP 20, 2023</ref>

The USG has long supported and funded Nazis.

Sen. Vance said on the floor of the U.S. Senate on November 8, 2023: "Basic questions about Biden’s Ukraine policy, including [[Washington, D.C.|Washington’s]] true strategic objective in the former Soviet republic, haven’t been addressed...Americans are commonly told that the aim is to force Russia out of all Ukrainian territory, including regions that have been annexed by Moscow following overwhelming votes for independence from Kiev...And yet, when you talk to the president’s own administration in private, they admit that is a strategic impossibility...No rational human being in the president’s administration believes that it is possible to throw the Russians out of every inch of Ukrainian territory...So, why is that the public justification offered by many advocates of indefinite, unlimited Ukrainian aid?...Because this debate is fundamentally dishonest...We are not telling the American people the truth because we know that if we did tell them the truth, they would not support an indefinite flow of money to Ukraine”.

===Polish authoritarianism===
Polish Prime Minister [[Donald Tusk]] tried shaming the Republicans for attempting to block another tranche of aid for Ukraine in a [[tweet]] in Febryuary 2024. Tusk wrote: “Dear Republican Senators of America. [[Ronald Reagan]], who helped millions of us to win back our freedom and independence, must be turning in his grave today. Shame on you.” Tusk's undiplomatic meddling in America’s domestic affairs wasn’t left unanswered, however, since Sen. Vance promptly put Tusk in his place. Vance responded on [[Twitter|X]] as follows: “The new leader of [[Poland]] is arresting political opponents and owes his country’s security to the generosity of mine. He might consider showing some appreciation, or at least toning down his own [[authoritarian]] impulses.” Senator Vance had earlier slammed Tusk’s attacks on press freedom after his [[German]]-backed [[liberal]]-[[globalist]] regime seized control of public media on legally dubious pretexts that the [[conservative]]-[[nationalist]] opposition sharply condemned.<ref>[https://korybko.substack.com/p/senator-jd-vance-put-polish-prime Senator JD Vance Put Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk In His Place], ANDREW KORYBKO, FEB 09, 2024. korybko.substack.com</ref>

Christmas Day

2023-12-24T02:07:03Z

SteKelBry:

'''Christmas Day''' is December 25 of each year. Although the actual date of the birth of [[Jesus Christ]] is not known, the date was chosen in antiquity by the [[Christian]] church for the celebration of the event.

It is an official [[holiday]] in nearly all countries in the [[Western world]]. For example, it is an observed Federal holiday, observed on December 25.<ref>In accordance with Federal law regarding holidays for the majority of the Federal work force, if December 25 falls on a Saturday the holiday is observed the preceding Friday; if it falls on a Sunday the holiday is observed the following Monday.</ref>

Christmas Eve

2023-12-24T02:05:28Z

SteKelBry:

'''Christmas Eve''' is a traditional time of early celebration of [[Christmas]], with religious services or gatherings and communications with family and friends.

Church services are common in many churches, notably "midnight Mass" which is observed by some (but not all) Catholic parishes. Services are sometimes held prior to midnight to accommodate travelers. Frequently a candlelight service is part of the observance.

It is not an officially observed Federal holiday; however, at times the President of the United States will declare that day (or at least four hours of it<ref>Under Federal law, employees are only granted eight hours holiday pay for a holiday, if half a day is declared only four hours is paid.</ref>) as a Federal holiday. Usually, this takes place when Christmas Day does not fall on a weekend, since when Christmas Day falls on a Saturday, the preceding Friday -- which is Christmas Eve -- is the observed holiday date, and when it falls on a Sunday, Saturday (Christmas Eve) is already a day off for most Federal employees (and the following Monday, December 26, is the observed Christmas Day holiday).

United States Independence Day

2023-12-24T02:03:56Z

SteKelBry:

[[File:Dcfireworks.jpg|right|130px| The Spirit of '76]]
'''Independence Day''' is the celebration of the birthday of the [[United States of America]], referred to in [[Secularized Language|secularized language]] as July 4 or the Fourth of July. On July 4, 1776, the [[Continental Congress]] formally adopted the [[Declaration of Independence]]; thus, breaking ties with the Kingdom of [[Great Britain]], and a new nation was born.<ref>The Congress had already voted for independence on July 2, 1776 and on July 4 it gave the reasons in the ''Declaration of Independence.''.</ref> The document, primarily written by [[Thomas Jefferson]], served as a formal announcement that the 13 American colonies were no longer part of the British Empire and would henceforth be free and independent states.<ref>[http://www.history.com/videos/jefferson-writes-declaration-of-independence Jefferson Writes Declaration of Independence]. ''The History Channel website''. 2010. Accessed Jul 4, 2010.</ref> This document contains the most influential sentence in the [[English]] language:
<blockquote>"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their [[God|Creator]] with certain [[unalienable rights|unalienable Rights]], that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."</blockquote>

Independence Day has long been the most important of all American anniversaries, and its very first celebration was held in the nation's capital, then [[Philadelphia]]. Congress established Independence Day as a holiday in 1870,<ref>[https://www.pbs.org/capitolfourth/history.html History of the Fourth] PBS.org</ref> and as a legal holiday in 1941. '''This is year number {{age|1776|7|4}} of our Independence.'''

In the United States it is an official Federal holiday, celebrated on July 4.<ref>In accordance with Federal law regarding holidays for the majority of the Federal work force, if July 4 falls on a Saturday the holiday is observed the preceding Friday; if it falls on a Sunday the holiday is observed the following Monday.</ref> Unlike other federal holidays that fall mid-week, this holiday is not shifted to the nearest Monday.

Most American businesses are closed and the citizens enjoy the summer holiday with cookouts, get-togethers, concerts, baseball, picnics, barbecues, bonfires, parades, and at night time enjoy displays of [[fireworks]]. Some people hold re-enactments of [[Revolutionary War]] era and some people give political speeches at events across the nations cities and towns.

The [[American flag|Flag]] and symbols of it are in evidence everywhere, in this annual outpouring of [[patriotism]]. An expression of pride and hope can be found in many patriotic songs such as the national anthem ''[[The Star-Spangled Banner]]'', America the Beautiful, God Bless America, ''[[My Country, 'Tis of Thee]]'' and The Stars and Stripes Forever.<ref>[http://lcweb2.loc.gov/diglib/ihas/html/patriotic/patriotic-home.html Patriotic Melodies] The Library of Congress</ref>

==Patriot Quotes==
[[File:Spirit of 76.jpg|left|225px]]
[[John Adams]] wrote to his wife Abigail on July 3, it reads:<ref>[http://www.101kidz.com/holidays/4thjuly/history.html July 4th History] Kidz101.com</ref>
{{cquote| '''The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of [[America]]. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward for evermore.'''}}

In a letter written on June 24, 1826, [[Thomas Jefferson]] says of the Fourth of July:
{{cquote|'''May it be to the world, what I believe it will be ... the signal of arousing men to burst the chains ... and to assume the blessings and security of self-government. That form, which we have substituted, restores the free right to the unbounded exercise of reason and freedom of opinion. All eyes are opened, or opening, to the rights of man. ... For ourselves, let the annual return of this day forever refresh our recollections of these rights, and an undiminished devotion to them.'''}}

[[John F. Kennedy]] said:
{{cquote|'''We dare not forget that we are the heirs of that first revolution.'''}}

The [[Declaration of Independence]]:
{{cquote|'''We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.'''}}

==Historic Patterns==

<blockquote>
In 1776, ''in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the Continental Congress adopts the Declaration of Independence, which proclaims the independence of the United States of America from Great Britain and its king.'' <ref>[http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history.do?action=VideoArticle&id=6948 U.S. declares independence]</ref>
</blockquote>

The first celebrations of the Fourth of July began in 1777, but it was not a major holiday until politics intruded. By 1800, partisanship had become bitter in the [[First Party System]]. The [[Federalist Party]], in its strongholds like Boston, turned the Fourth into a day of celebrating the party and denigrating the opposition. The Jeffersonian Republicans, believing the Federalists had misappropriated the American Revolution and neglected the role of [[Thomas Jefferson]], staged their own, more democratic, celebrations. Disorder sometimes marred the festivities, but the public enjoyed both parties' observances. The War of 1812 saw the substitution of solemn observances for the noisy partisan celebrations.

By the [[Era of Good Feelings]] after the War of 1812, the holiday became nonpartisan and was enthusiastically celebrated across the land. It encouraged national identity and unity with orations, dinners, militia musters, parades, and fireworks.

The Fourth took on a military dimension that stressed masculinity. Festivities were opened to the entire public and exemplified [[Republicanism|republican]] and egalitarian principles, but they increasingly depicted a militarized, masculine ideal of citizenship and accorded women few roles other than as spectators.

Especially in small cities and towns the holiday combined patriotism and entertainment in an attempt to reaffirm common values and reinforce community solidarity. The festivities' main ingredients, often covering several days before 1940, were civic and patriotic oratory, parades, sports and games, carnivals, dances, fireworks, music, and food.

The Fourth celebrates prowess—first national strength and in recent decades individual strength. The Peachtree Road Race was begun in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1970 and is held each year on the Fourth of July. The first ten-kilometer race attracted a mere 110 runners; by 1994, the number of participants had grown to some fifty thousand.

During the 1960s and 1970s, some cities with large antiwar elements, such as Denver, saw parades and picnics replaced by demonstrations and rioting ridiculing patriotism and denouncing the Vietnam War. Those protests were gone by 1975.

The Fourth is an affirmation of Americanism for Americans in remote locations (such as the Overland Trail in the 1850s) and for Americans overseas. They hold special celebrations at embassies and consulates, as well as private parties wherever expatriates gather.
===Oratory===
Typical celebration in the west during the early 1820s paid tribute to the pioneers, observed the customs and traditions of their old homes, alluded to current problems, and sought to reconcile political interests for the occasion. Lawyers were called on to read the Declaration of Independence and to discuss its current and future meaning. Special tribute was paid to Washington and the Founding Fathers, as well as to the personification of the "Genius of Liberty" which would advance both the spiritual and material basis of the United States and counteract the influence of Europe's despotic monarchism. The moral and religious tone of the celebration was accompanied by a general interest in eating, drinking, and offering toasts. The general acceptance of verbose, exaggerated, and ungrammatical Fourth of July oratory was not the result of ignorance. It was based on the idea that people were in danger of losing their liberty, when they forgot to commemorate the manner in which it was won.

As the fireworks grow louder and brighter, the oratory grows softer and dimmer, and often is dispensed with.

===Antebellum Southern Whites===
From 1778 to 1821 orations in the South reflected the nationalist feeling of the period, but in the next decade the threat to the expansion of slavery created an undertone of suspicion. In 1831 and 1832 nullification dominated the celebration, and the abolitionist threat and the horror of slave revolt appeared next. In the 1840s and 1850s the orators defended the institution of slavery. In the five years before the outbreak of the Civil War orators in Charleston and other deep South cities began to accept secession as inevitable. From 1847 to 1860 the orators spoke increasingly with one voice against the hostile action of the federal government. In the border states the emphasis was more on preserving the Union at all costs.
===Blacks===
Before the Civil War free blacks found fault with the Declaration of Independence for inconsistency and the closely related grounds of hypocrisy and ineffectuality. They held negative attitudes toward Thomas Jefferson and dismissed the Fourth of July because it did not include freedom for blacks. Black leaders and white abolitionists fought to insure that the Declaration would remain an inescapable commitment.<ref>Benjamin Quarles, "Antebellum Free Blacks and the 'Spirit Of '76.'" ''Journal of Negro History'' 1976 61(3): 229-242.</ref>

The Fourth is a celebration of freedom and no one had more cause to celebrate than the freed slaves. African American celebration of the Fourth of July in southern cities such as Memphis, Tennessee, in the years following the Civil War featured a major parade with all the local black organizations marching or making floats, followed by picnics and a reading of the Declaration of Independence. At the same time, Fourth of July celebrations by the white community tended to be much more subdued.

== Reagan: What July 4th Means to Me ==
Representative of the traditional meaning of the Fourth is this oration written and delivered by [[President Ronald Reagan]] in 1981. It captures the essence of what the holiday means to millions of Americans:
[[File:Reagan large 4.jpg|left|250px]]
{{clear}}
{{cquote|<big>For one who was born and grew up in the small towns of the Midwest, there is a special kind of nostalgia about the Fourth of July.</big>

I remember it as a day almost as long anticipated as Christmas. This was helped along by the appearance in store windows of all kinds of fireworks and colorful posters advertising them with vivid pictures.

No later than the third of July - sometimes earlier - Dad would bring home what he felt he could afford to see go up in smoke and flame. We'd count and recount the number of firecrackers, display pieces and other things and go to bed determined to be up with the sun so as to offer the first, thunderous notice of the Fourth of July.

I'm afraid we didn't give too much thought to the meaning of the day. And, yes, there were tragic accidents to mar it, resulting from careless handling of the fireworks. I'm sure we're better off today with fireworks largely handled by professionals. Yet there was a thrill never to be forgotten in seeing a tin can blown 30 feet in the air by a giant "cracker" - giant meaning it was about 4 inches long.

But enough of nostalgia. Somewhere in our growing up we began to be aware of the meaning of days and with that awareness came the birth of patriotism. July Fourth is the birthday of our nation. I believed as a boy, and believe even more today, that it is the birthday of the greatest nation on earth.

There is a legend about the day of our nation's birth in the little hall in Philadelphia, a day on which debate had raged for hours. The men gathered there were honorable men hard-pressed by a king who had flouted the very laws they were willing to obey. Even so, to sign the Declaration of Independence was such an irretrievable act that the walls resounded with the words "treason, the gallows, the headsman's axe," and the issue remained in doubt.

The legend says that at that point a man rose and spoke. He is described as not a young man, but one who had to summon all his energy for an impassioned plea. He cited the grievances that had brought them to this moment and finally, his voice falling, he said, "They may turn every tree into a gallows, every hole into a grave, and yet the words of that parchment can never die. To the mechanic in the workshop, they will speak hope; to the slave in the mines, freedom. Sign that parchment. Sign if the next moment the noose is around your neck, for that parchment will be the textbook of freedom, the Bible of the rights of man forever."

He fell back exhausted. The 56 delegates, swept up by his eloquence, rushed forward and signed that document destined to be as immortal as a work of man can be. When they turned to thank him for his timely oratory, he was not to be found, nor could any be found who knew who he was or how he had come in or gone out through the locked and guarded doors.

Well, that is the legend. But we do know for certain that 56 men, a little band so unique we have never seen their like since, had pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor. Some gave their lives in the war that followed, most gave their fortunes, and all preserved their sacred honor.

What manner of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists, 11 were merchants and tradesmen, and nine were farmers. They were soft-spoken men of means and education; they were not an unwashed rabble. They had achieved security but valued freedom more. Their stories have not been told nearly enough.

*John Hart was driven from the side of his desperately ill wife. For more than a year he lived in the forest and in caves before he returned to find his wife dead, his children vanished, his property destroyed. He died of exhaustion and a broken heart.

*Carter Braxton of Virginia lost all his ships, sold his home to pay his debts, and died in rags. And so it was with Ellery, Clymer, Hall, Walton, Gwinnett, Rutledge, Morris, Livingston and Middleton.

*Nelson personally urged Washington to fire on his home and destroy it when it became the headquarters for General Cornwallis. Nelson died bankrupt.

But they sired a nation that grew from sea to shining sea. Five million farms, quiet villages, cities that never sleep, 3 million square miles of forest, field, mountain and desert, 227 million people with a pedigree that includes the bloodlines of all the world.

In recent years, however, I've come to think of that day as more than just the birthday of a nation.
''It also commemorates the only true philosophical revolution in all history.''

Oh, there have been revolutions before and since ours. But those revolutions simply exchanged one set of rules for another. Ours was a revolution that changed the very concept of government.

'''Let the Fourth of July always be a reminder that here in this land, for the first time, it was decided that man is born with certain God-given rights; that government is only a convenience created and managed by the people, with no powers of its own except those ''voluntarily granted to it by the people.'''''

'''We sometimes forget that great truth, and we never should.''' <ref>[http://www.originofnations.org/books,%20papers/quotes%20etc/what_july_fourth_means_to_me.htm What July Fourth Means to Me: Ronald Reagan]</ref>

Happy Fourth of July,

Transphobia

SteKelBry:

'''Transphobia''' is a term created by [[transgender]] advocates to smear their critics, that they call [[transphobe|transphobes]], as having a fear or hatred of transgender people. As such, it is a form of Marxist terminology.

Ebenezer Scrooge

2023-12-24T01:48:27Z

SteKelBry:

[[File:Ebenezer Scrooge.jpg|right|200px]]
'''Ebenezer Scrooge''' is the main character in [[Charles Dickens]]'s novella ''[[A Christmas Carol]]''. Scrooge is the master of money exchange who built up his own wealth through years of work, but at the same time built up his own tightfisted, miserly ways as well; so miserly in fact that he would rather have the poor and destitute go to the prisons and workhouses and live there (where his own taxes are put to use) rather than give the slightest amount to charity on their behalf.

Scrooge also has had difficult relationships with the people in his daily life, such as his nephew and his clerk, Bob Cratchit. In his past, he had rejected his fiancée, Belle, and turned his back on having a family of his own.

But things change when his dead partner, Jacob Marley, returns from beyond, bearing the ponderous chains of guilt, and warns Scrooge that he will face similar consequences unless he changes from within. Scrooge will be given the chance to repent by the visitation of three spirits (the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future).

The Ghost of Christmas Past takes Scrooge back to his unhappy childhood, his unfeeling father, the loss of his sister giving birth to Fred (his nephew and only relative), and the breakup of his engagement to Belle due to his love of money.

The Ghost of Christmas Present shows Scrooge the conditions his miserly ways have on Bob Cratchit and his family. Though they are poor the family is quite happy, though deeply concerned about the health of the youngest child, Tiny Tim. The Ghost informs Scrooge that if things do not change Tiny Tim will die (implying that his condition is not fatal, but Cratchit's meager salary will not provide the care he needs), then on two separate occasions uses Scrooge's comments to the charitable solicitors against him.

Finally the Ghost of Christmas Future shows the death of a person disliked by the city: several men will attend his funeral only if lunch is provided, a couple rejoices that the man's death gives them more time to repay the debt, and three criminals steal the deceased's belongings. The Ghost then takes Scrooge to an unkempt grave with a solitary name on the headstone: '''SCROOGE''', implying that the deceased was Scrooge himself.

The visitations have the desired effect: Scrooge anonymously buys a large turkey and has it delivered to the Cratchit family, meets the solicitors and gives them a large amount, and attends Christmas dinner with Fred. The next day he agrees to raise Cratchit's salary and ultimately becomes a second father to Tiny Tim, making sure he gets the care he needs.

X-mas

2023-12-24T01:46:31Z

SteKelBry:

'''X-mas''' and '''Xmas''' is from an ancient abbreviation in Christian manuscripts using the [[Greek alphabet|Greek letter]] ''chi'' '''Χ χ''' for ''Christos'' '''ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ ''Χρίστος'''''. The suffix "-mas" from the [[Latin]] means [[Mass (liturgy)|Mass]], the term itself originating in the Latin dismissal at the end of [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] [[worship]], ''Ite missa est'' "'''Go''' [forth in mission] '''it is''' [completed]", ultimately deriving its origin from the word of [[Jesus Christ|Christ]] commanding the [[Great Commission]] to "'''Go'''" forth with the divinely authorized "'''mission'''", both publicly to announce and proclaim Christ as Lord and Savior and Son of God, and personally by [[witnessing]] to Him daily "in your thoughts, words, and deeds".

Because the celebration of [[The Nativity]] of the Lord Jesus Christ was held to be, like [[Resurrection Sunday|Easter]], one of the highest celebrations of [[Orthodox]] [[Catholic]] Christianity, it came to be revered as the Mass of Christ Himself, the "Christ-Mass", now '''Xmas''' and '''[[Christmas]]'''.

Christmas

2023-12-24T01:43:41Z

SteKelBry: Added citation.

[[Image:Christmas market in Nuremberg.jpg|right|thumb|The Christmas market in Nuremberg.]]
'''Christmas''' is a holiday on December 25 which celebrates the birth of [[Jesus]], since at least [[AD]] 336.<ref name="Hillerbrand 1998 p909">{{cite web | last=Hillerbrand | first=Hans J. | title=Origin, Definition, Traditions, History, & Facts | website=Encyclopedia Britannica | date=1998-07-20 | url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/Christmas | access-date=2023-12-24}}</ref> The word "Christmas" comes from "[[Christ]]'s [[Mass (liturgy)|mass]]." A few churches, including the Russian and Ukrainian churches, still celebrate according to the [[Julian calendar]]. December 25 on the Julian calendar corresponds to January 7 on the [[Gregorian calendar]].

The [[Bible]] does not give a date for the birth of Jesus. The holiday is exactly nine months following [[Annunciation]] on March 25. On the Roman calendar, March 25 was marked as the spring equinox while December 25 was considered the date of the winter solstice. Christmas is often connected to pagan festivals such as Saturnalia or Yule, especially by those who oppose Christian traditions. However, the symbolism of a solstice date appealed to the Church Fathers for reasons unrelated to any pagan festival.

During [[Advent]], people hang up colored lights, place a [[Christmas tree]] (typically an evergreen conifer tree) in their house, sing [[carol]]s, and exchange gifts. Gift-giving commemorates the gifts given to the Christ child by the magi and is symbolic of the fact that Jesus came as gift to mankind from [[God]]. Most towns and cities do this on an elaborate scale in public places, putting a large tree in the public square, and hanging large arrangements of lights with Christmas themed designs over the streets weeks before Christmas Day, removing the tree within a few days or the week following Christmas Day and safely discarding it, often leaving the other forms of public decoration and display in place for weeks afterward, even to the end of January.

==History==
[[Image:Parmigianino Virgin with Child.jpg|right|thumb|The Holy Virgin with her Child]]
===Biblical basis===
The story of the birth of Christ is told in the opening chapters of the [[Gospel of Luke]] and the [[Gospel of Matthew]]. Each contains different elements of the Christmas story. The visit of the [[Archangel]] to the shepherds and the birth of Jesus in a [[manger]] are from Luke. The story of the [[Star of Bethlehem]] and the visit from the magi bringing gifts of "gold, and frankincense and myrrh" are from Matthew.

===Selecting a date===
Early Christians had a great deal of interest in establishing the date of the birth of Jesus. But no evidence could be found in the gospels. According to historian Steven Hijmans:
{{cquote|Clement of Alexandria [c. 150 – 215], for instances mentions (and dismisses) proposals that Christ was born on April 19 or May 20 and himself calculated the date as November 17, 3 BC. Other suggested dates included March 28 and April 2, but not December 25. None of these dates were influential, or enjoyed any official recognition.<ref>Hijmans, S.E., ''Sol: The Sun in the Art and Religions of Rome,'' 2009, p. 584.</ref>}}

====The solstice and the calendar====
On the Roman calendar, December 25 was the date of the winter solstice, called ''bruma'' in Latin.<ref>Roll, Susan K. (1995). ''Toward the Origins of Christmas.'' Peeters Publishers. p. 87. ISBN 9789039005316.<br/>Bradt, Hale, ''Astronomy Methods: A Physical Approach to Astronomical Observations,'' (2004), p. 69.</ref> The [[Julian Calendar]] was designed by Sosigenes of Alexandria and introduced to Rome by Julius Caesar in 45 BC. Sosigenes intended March 25 to be the date of the equinox. The Julian calendar has a leap year, or additional day, every four years, and thus an average year of 365.25 days. The astronomical solar year is 365.242 days, so the equinoxes and solstices "drift" by three days every four hundred years. The [[Gregorian calendar]], instituted in 1582, reestablished the calendar alignment as it was at the time of the Council of Nicaea in 325. By modern calculations, the equinox is on March 21 or 22 and the solstice is on December 21 or 22.

====Sextus Julius Africanus====
In 221, [[Africanus (Christian historian)|Sextus Julius Africanus]] wrote a universal history that gave the spring equinox not only as the first day of Creation, but also as the date of incarnation.<ref name=NewCath>"Christmas and its cycle", ''New Catholic Encyclopedia'', 2nd edition, 2002, Catholic University of America Press. vol. 3, pp. 550–557.</ref> On the Roman calendar, the equinox was March 25, now celebrated as Annunciation. From this, it can be calculated that Jesus was born in December, nine months later.<ref>Africanus did not calculate the date of birth himself. (Hijmans, p. 585, footnote 8.)</ref>

Solar symbolism was common among Christian writers of the time.<ref>Hijmans notes the "the pervasive use of the sun as metaphor for Christ in early Christian literature, in which he is often referred to as “Sol verus”, “Sol Justitiae”, etc." (Hijmans, p. 584).</ref> This symbolism was justified by the identification of Jesus as the "sun of righteousness" mentioned by the prophet Malachi.<ref>"But for you who fear my name, the sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings. You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall." (Malachi 4:2, ESV).</ref>

====Augustine====
In the late fourth century, [[Augustine]] explained why it was appropriate to celebrate on the solstice date:{{cquote|Hence it is that He was born on the day which is the shortest in our earthly reckoning and from which subsequent days begin to increase in length. He, therefore, who bent low and lifted us up chose the shortest day, yet the one whence light begins to increase.<ref>Augustine, "[http://www.dec25th.info/Augustine's%20Sermon%20192.html Sermon 192]."</ref>}}

====Isaac Newton====
Although Englishman [[Isaac Newton]] is best-known for his scientific work, he also wrote extensively on religious subjects. Like Augustine, Newton connected the date of Christmas to the solstice: {{cquote|The times of the Birth and Passion of Christ, with such like niceties, being not material to religion, were little regarded by the Christians of the first age. They who began first to celebrate them, placed them in the cardinal periods of the year; as the annunciation of the Virgin Mary, on the 25th of March, which when Julius Cæsar corrected the Calendar was the vernal Equinox; the feast of John Baptist on the 24th of June, which was the summer Solstice; the feast of St. Michael on Sept. 29, which was the autumnal Equinox; and the birth of Christ on the winter Solstice, Decemb. 25.<ref>Newton, Isaac, ''[https://www.gutenberg.org/files/16878/16878-h/16878-h.htm Observations upon the Prophecies of Daniel and the Apocalypse of St. John]'', "Chap. XI. Of the Times of the Birth and Passion of Christ," 1733.</ref>}}

Nativity celebration must have arisen sometime after 300 as earlier writers were not aware of it.<ref>Irenaeus and Tertullian both give lists of Christian feasts that do not include Christmas. Origen and Arnobius both fault the pagans for celebrating birthdays. (McCracken, George, ''Arnobius of Sicca, the Case Against the Pagans'', Volume 2, p. 83. "Therefore if this is a fact, how can Jupiter be god if it is agreed that god is everlasting, while the other is represented by you to have a birthday, and frightened by the new experience, to have squalled like an infant.")</ref> The Chronography of 354 records that a Christmas celebration took place in Rome in 336.<ref name="Chrono354">The manuscript reads, ''VIII kal. Ian. natus Christus in Betleem Iudeae.'' ("[http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/chronography_of_354_12_depositions_martyrs.htm The Chronography of 354 AD. Part 12: Commemorations of the Martyrs]," ''The Tertullian Project''. 2006.)</ref>

The creation of the feast may be a response to the Trinitarian controversy that was raging at the time. It was introduced to the Eastern Roman Empire after the death of Emperor Valens, who favored the [[Arian]] heresy, in 378. Christmas has a unique three-mass liturgy that gives a priest three opportunities to inveigh against heretics. Once Arianism died out, the status of Christmas declined.

===Middle Ages===
In the Early Middle Ages, Christmas was overshadowed by Epiphany (January 6). The holiday regained prominence in the time of Charlemagne, who was crowned as emperor on December 25, 800.

===Reformation===
With the Reformation, Christmas fell into disrepute. It was banned under Cromwell. In the early 19th century, the Oxford Movement led a revival of the holiday. Many of the customs we have come to associate with Christmas developed in Victorian England, notably the Christmas tree, which originated in Germany and was introduced in England by Prince Albert. The concept of Christmas as a family-centered celebration and a time of generosity, good will, and friendliness to neighbors, was popularized by Charles Dickens in ''A Christmas Carol.''

===Post-Reformation===
[[File:Santa Claus 1.jpg|right|thumb|Santa Claus]]
In the United States, the image of [[Santa Claus]] (i.e. Saint Nicholas) and his reindeer has been shaped by Clement Moore's poem, "A Visit from Saint Nicholas" (with the famous opening line "'Twas the night before Christmas.") Christmas was declared a national holiday by President Ulysses S. Grant in 1870. In other countries, the depiction of Santa vary widely. For instance, in [[The Netherlands]], Santa Claus is shown in a [[bishop]]'s miter. In some countries, Saint Nicholas is not associated with the holiday at all; for example, in [[Spain]] it is the magi who bring gifts to children, and in [[Hawaii]] it is the jolly native Kamaunamauna. However, the tradition of Christmas gift-giving is prevalent in all cultures.

In the [[United States]], during the twentieth century, gift-giving assumed a greater and greater role, and by mid-century had become of great commercial importance, to the point where some felt the religious aspects were becoming forgotten. As [[Stan Freberg]] put it<ref>in a recording, "Green Christmas"</ref> in 1958, "There are two S's in Christmas and they're ''both'' dollar signs." The single week before Christmas currently accounts for 25 percent to 30 percent of all retail sales.

==Relationship to pagan festivals==
That pagans and Christians both celebrated on the date of the solstice should not be understand to mean that Christmas is derived from a pagan holiday. The cycle of solstice and equinox is a natural phenomena significant to religions of widely varying character. As Hijmans writes:
{{cquote|It is cosmic symbolism ... which inspired the Church leadership in Rome to elect the winter solstice, December 25, as the birthday of Christ, and the summer solstice [June 24] as that of John the Baptist, supplemented by the equinoxes as their respective dates of conception. While they were aware that pagans called this day the “birthday” of Sol Invictus, this did not concern them and it did not play any role in their choice of date for Christmas.<ref name="Hijmans">Hijmans, p. 595.</ref>}}

===Sol Invictus===
In an essay published in 1889, German scholar Hermann Usener argued that Christmas is an "appropriation" of an earlier pagan festival.<ref>Usener's views are foreshadowed in two essays by P.E. Jablonski (1693-1757). (Hijmans, p. 584.)</ref> According to Usener, the Church placed Christmas on December 25 as a kind of marketing strategy to absorb the pagan solstice festival ''Dies Natalis Sol Invicti'' into Christianity.

Although Usener's theory has become quite widespread, Hijmans counters that fourth century homilies concerning the birth of Jesus routinely refer to the solstices and equinoxes, but rarely to pagan feasts.

Hijmans examined a homily that Usener quoted to support his pagan origin theory and found that it fits better with a solstice origin.<ref>This homily was written in the early fourth century and is entitled ''De solstitia et aequinoctia conceptionis et nativitatis domini nostri iesu christi et iohannis baptistae.''</ref> The homily not only connects the birth of Jesus to the winter solstice, it also placed the birthday of John the Baptist on the summer solstice. Usener cites this homily for an aside that mentioned that December 25 is the birthday of Sol Invictus. But this is done only to argue that the pagan festival is of no significance.<ref>Hijmans, p. 594.</ref>

===Saturnalia and Kalends===
The end of the year was a season of varied celebration in pagan Rome. Saturnalia began on December 17 and lasted for three to five days. It was followed by ''Dies Natalis Solis Invicti'' on December 25 and Kalends on January 1 to January 4. Saturnalia was exclusive to Italy while Sol was a sun god associated with emperors [[Aurelian]] and [[Constantine]].

Both Saturnalia and Sol Invictus were overshadowed by Kalends, a new year celebration. While there is no trace of either Saturalia or Sol Invictus persisting into Christian times, various churchmen noted how difficult it was to suppress Kalends.<ref>"In 578 CE a church Council at Auxerre, Burgundy, forbade disguisings, and another Council, in the year 614, stated it was “unlawful to make any indecent plays upon the Kalends of January, according to the profane practices of the pagans.” (Pennick, Nigel, ''[https://books.google.ca/books?isbn=1620553902 Pagan Magic of the Northern Tradition: Customs, Rites, and Ceremonies]'', 2015.)</ref> The Roman end-of-year celebrations transferred to [[Epiphany]] in the Early Middle Ages and later to the Twelve Days of Christmas.

===Yule===
The connection between Christmas and Yule, a Scandinavian pagan holiday, is often misunderstand. Writing in the eighth century, [[Bede]] did not know Yule as a holiday. He refers to it only as a month of the Anglo-Saxon calendar.<ref>"[http://www.roger-pearse.com/weblog/2012/01/20/bede-on-yule/ Bede on Yule]"</ref> Christmas was popularized by Charlemagne's coronation in 800. As Yule did not appear as a festival until later, it was likely created in response to Christmas. When the Christian calendar was introduced to Scandinavia, King Haakon I (r. 934–961) of Norway assigned Yule to December 25 to correspond with the date of Christmas, according to a saga by Snorri Sturluson.{{cquote|[Haakon] made a law that the festival of Yule should begin at the same time Christian people held it, and that every man, under penalty, should brew a meal of malt and ale, and therewith keep the Yule holy as long as it lasted.<ref>Snorri Sturluson, ''Heimskringla, or the Chronicle of the Kings of Norway'', "Hakon the Good's Saga," Chapter 15.</ref>}}

==Modern-day cultural significance==
[[Image:Christmas Eve 1862.jpg|right|thumb|Christmas Eve 1862. Christmas was rejected by the Puritans, but it became a national holiday as a result of the Civil War.]]

''See also:'' [[War on Christmas]] and [[Atheism and Christmas]]

The tension between religious and secularized Christmas has waxed and waned periodically over the years. The pendulum swung toward secularization in the middle of the twentieth century. One marker was the emergence of songs like ''I'll Be Home For Christmas'' (1943), ''The Christmas Song,'' (1946), and ''Silver Bells'' (1951), which have become a beloved part of Christmas in America despite their lack of any religious content. [[Bing Crosby]], a devout Catholic, initially was reluctant to sing the secular 1942 song ''[[White Christmas]],'' which was to become his biggest hit.<ref>[https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=850892 Still Dreaming of a White Christmas], NPR story</ref>

In recent years, the celebration of Christmas has become part of the "[[culture wars]]." [[Fox News]] analysts [[John Gibson]] and [[Bill O'Reilly]] claim that Christmas has come under attack by [[liberal]]s. Some Christian conservatives want an increased recognition of the religious core of the holiday, and want to maintain a separation between Christmas and other holidays occurring at the same time of year.

In Japan, Christmas is mostly a secular holiday, due to most of the population practicing [[Shinto]] as a religion. However, due to a very successful marketing campaign<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhFO68P7uYM</ref>, it is customary to celebrate it by purchasing from KFC.

==Rejection==
Some Christian churches, sects, and communities reject the observance of Christmas for theological reasons. Christian sects that don't celebrate Christmas include [[Jehovah's Witnesses]];<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/why-not-celebrate-christmas/.htm |title=Jehovah's Witness on Christmas |publisher= www.jw.org |accessdate= 1 January 2013}}</ref> [[Armstrongism|Armstrongites]];<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3___tE12R0|title=Christmas Unveiled—What God Says!|accessdate=December 30, 2017}}</ref> some adherents of [[Messianic Judaism]];<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.christianpost.com/news/messianic-judaism-the-followers-of-christ-who-do-not-celebrate-christmas-64328/ |title= Messianic Judaism: The Followers of Christ Who Do Not Celebrate Christmas |work= The Christian Post |date= 8 December 2011 |accessdate= 1 January 2013}}</ref> most [[Sabbath in seventh-day churches|Sabbatarian]] denominations, such as the [[True Jesus Church]] and the [[General Conference of the Church of God (Seventh-Day)|Church of God (7th-Day)]];<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.churchofgod-7thday.org/FAQs.html |title= Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) |publisher= churchofgod-7thday.org |accessdate= 1 January 2013}}</ref> the [[Iglesia ni Cristo]];<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.iglesianicristowebsite.com/Pages/7-faq-answers.html |title= All About Iglesia ni Cristo: Frequently Asked Questions |publisher= iglesianicristowebsite.com |accessdate=1 January 2013}}</ref> the [[Christian Congregation in Brazil]]; the [[Christian Congregation in the United States]]; certain [[Reformed churches|reformed]] and [[fundamentalism|fundamentalist]] churches of various persuasions, including some [[Independent Baptist]]s,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://libcfl.com/articles/becker2.htm|title=The Truth about Christmas|first=Greg|last=Wilson|publisher=}}</ref> [[Holiness movement|Holiness Christians]], [[Oneness Pentecostalism|Oneness Pentecostals]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.prime.org/|title=Jesus Name Apostolic Holiness Church - Oneness Pentecostal|publisher=}}</ref> Amish-Mennonites, and Churches of Christ congregations.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.tjc.org/showArticle.aspx?aid=7219 |title= Is Christmas Biblical? |publisher= tjc.org |accessdate= 1 January 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url= http://www.christianchronicle.org/article/christ-in-christmas-churches-of-christ-and-the-holiday-season?A=SearchResult&SearchID=4375144&ObjectID=4364696&ObjectType=35|title= 'Christ' in Christmas?: Churches of Christ and the Holiday Season |work= [[Christian Chronicle]] |accessdate= 22 January 2017}}</ref>

'''Pope Saint John Paul II''' (May 18, 1920 - April 2, 2005; r. October 16, 1978 to April 2, 2005), born '''Karol Józef Wojtyła''' in Wadowice, [[Poland]], was the 264th [[pope]] of the [[Roman Catholic Church|Catholic Church]]. He succeeded [[John Paul I]] and preceded [[Benedict XVI]]. He held the second-longest papacy in modern times, after [[Pope Pius IX]], and was the first non-Italian [[pope]] in over 400 years (since the papacy of [[Pope Adrian VI]] in 1523).<ref name="History.info 2020 a088">{{cite web | title=Last non-Italian Pope Elected | website=History.info | date=2020-01-08 | url=https://history.info/on-this-day/last-non-italian-pope-elected-1522/ | access-date=2023-12-23}}</ref> He became [[Vicar]] of Christ (one of the titles of the pope) in 1978, the Year of Three Popes, and is now known as '''Saint John Paul the Great''' after being canonized on April 27, 2014. He was fluent in ten languages and would often give his homilies in the local language of countries he visited. By using Godly Love, he stood up to the [[Nazi]]s and the [[Communist]]s and overcame them both. His pontificate was successful in keeping a vibrant modern Church in strict accordance with Apostolic traditions. He [[canonized]] more [[saints]] than any other pope.

==Early life==
Karol was born the last of three siblings to father Karol Wojtyła and mother Emilia Kaczorowska. His older sister, Olga, died before he was born. At a young age, he was known to be gentle and loving to all. His mother died on April 13, 1929 and his older brother, who was a doctor, died of scarlet fever on December 5, 1932.<ref>[http://www.cbn.com/spirituallife/ChurchAndMinistry/KarolWojtylaPopeJohnPaulTimeline.aspx Karol Wojtyla (Pope John Paul II) Timeline]</ref> He lived with his father until he entered the Jagiellonian [[University]] in [[Kraków]], [[Poland]] in 1938. He was a very good football (soccer) player and his nickname was 'Goalie'. Karol loved the arts and was involved in poetry and drama. In 1939, [[Nazi]] [[Germany]] invaded western Poland, starting [[World War II]], with the Soviet invasion also that year from the east. The following year, 1940, Karol started working in a quarry and chemical plant to avoid deportation to Germany as slave labor. His father died on February 18, 1941, over three months before Karol turned 21 years old.<ref>[http://www.cbn.com/spirituallife/ChurchAndMinistry/KarolWojtylaPopeJohnPaulTimeline.aspx Karol Wojtyla (Pope John Paul II) Timeline]</ref> Occupied Poland was a hard life for Karol but he survived by hiding within the underground movement. He refused any armed struggle, and was intent on keeping his freedoms and the Polish people's dignity alive through arts. He was known to help [[Jewish]] Poles against the wrath of Nazi [[persecution]]. In October 1942, at the age of 22, he entered the underground seminary to study as a priest. In 1945, the Nazis evacuated Poland and Communism through the USSR eventually took over. In 1946, Karol Wojtyla became a [[priest]], then sent to Rome for graduate studies and in 1948, his first pastoral assignment in Niegowic. In 1949, he was transferred to be a [[chaplain]] at St. Florian's Church in [[Krakow]] and a student counselor at Jagiellonian University, a professor of social ethics at the university in 1956, auxiliary bishop of Krakow in 1958 and ended the decade by celebrating the first ever [[Mass]] outdoors on Christmas Eve, 1959 in then-newly built and then-churchless Nowa Huta. In the 1960s, he was at the Vatican during [[Vatican II]], became Krakow's [[archbishop]] in 1964 and in 1967, he became a [[Cardinal]]. In 1977, after almost 20 years of campaigning for and construction of a church in Nowa Huta, one was completed, the Lord's Ark, which Wojtyla consecrated that May.<ref>[http://www.cbn.com/spirituallife/ChurchAndMinistry/KarolWojtylaPopeJohnPaulTimeline.aspx Karol Wojtyla (Pope John Paul II) Timeline]</ref>

==Election and Pontificate==
[[File:Pope John Paul II and President Augusto Pinochet.jpg|thumbnail|[[President of Chile|President]] [[Augusto Pinochet]] with Pope John Paul II visiting Chile in 1987.]]
The Conclave of Cardinals elected him [[pope]] on October 16, 1978. As pope, John Paul II traveled to more countries, and traveled more miles than any other previous pope. He also conducted more public meetings with the faithful, as the total attendance of his Wednesday audiences alone eclipsed 17,600,000 people. Controversially, during his reign, as many new saints were canonized as had been canonized in the reigns of all previous popes combined.

On October 22, 1996 Pope John Paul II made world headlines with his message<sup>1</sup> delivered to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, entitled ''[[Magisterium]] Is Concerned with Question of Evolution for It Involves Conception of Man'' and resulted in headlines in many of the world's newspapers declaring that evolution and creation could coexist. His holiness stated his opinion on evolution that "In fact it is remarkable that this theory has had progressively greater influence on the spirit of researchers, following a series of discoveries in different scholarly disciplines. The convergence in the results of these independent studies—which was neither planned nor sought—constitutes in itself a significant argument in favor of the theory."

He was a mediator between Chile and Argentina in the Beagle Conflict of 1978 reaching peace for both countries.

Another one of his accomplishments is the establishment of World Youth Day. Also, he wrote 14 encyclicals, 5 books, and innumerable letters.

On May 9, 2005 John Paul II's successor, [[Pope Benedict XVI]], waived the five-year waiting period for beatification. Benedict beatified John Paul on May 9, 2011.

On April 27, 2014 John Paul was [[canonized]] by [[Pope Francis]]. His feast day 22 October 22.

== Assassination attempts ==
An [[Islam]]ic assassin from [[Turkey]], Mehmet Ali Agca, shot Pope John Paul II on May 13, 1981 at St. Peter's Square. In critical condition, he was rushed to Gemelli Hospital with abdominal wounds and severe blood loss. The recovered pope would meet with Mehmet in prison to offer forgiveness. Years later, an [[Italian]] court ruled that the [[Soviets]] were involved in the plot, possibly done for his efforts in [[Poland]]'s Solidarity movement. [[CIA]] reports have [[Warsaw Pact]] nation Communist [[Bulgaria]] as a culprit.<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8G3J3J00&show_article=1 Italian Panel: Soviets Behind Pope Attack] Ap, March 2, 2006</ref>

On May 13, 1982, an ultra-conservative Spanish monk named Juan Maria Fernandez y Krohn attacked Pope John Paul II with a bayonet in Fatima, Portugal. At the time, the pope concealed the fact from the public that Fernandez y Krohn had wounded him with the blade. The monk was sentenced to 6-1/2 years in prison for the attack.<ref>[http://www.cbn.com/spirituallife/ChurchAndMinistry/PopeJohnPaulIITimeline.aspx Pope John Paul II Timeline]</ref><ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7673443.stm Pope John Paul 'Wounded' in 1982]</ref>

Due to these attacks, the "Popemobile", a bullet-proof car, was used for Pope John Paul's visit to Great Britain on May 28 through June 2, 1982.<ref>[http://www.cbn.com/spirituallife/ChurchAndMinistry/PopeJohnPaulIITimeline.aspx Pope John Paul II Timeline]</ref>

== Quotes ==
Speaking of Crossing The Threshold of [[Hope]]. [[God]] is always on the side of the suffering. His omnipotence is manifested precisely in the fact that he freely accepted suffering. He could have chosen not to do so. He could have chosen to demonstrate his [[omnipotence]] even at the moment of the [[Crucifixion]]. In fact, it was proposed to him: "Let the Messiah, the King of Israel come down now from the cross that we may see and believe." ([[Gospel of Mark|Mark]] 15.32) But he did not accept that challenge. The fact that he stayed on the Cross until the end, the fact that on the Cross he could say, as do all who suffer, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Mark 15.34) If the agony on the Cross had not happened, the truth that God is Love would have been unfounded. Yes! God is Love and precisely for this he gave his Son, to reveal himself completely as Love. [[Christ]] is the One who "loved...to the end." ([[Gospel of John|John]] 13.1) "To the end" means to the last breath.

"[[Science]] can purify [[religion]] from error and superstition; religion can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes. Each can draw the other into a wider world, a world in which both can flourish.... We need each other to be what we must be, what we are called to be."<ref>http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_paul_ii/letters/1988/documents/hf_jp-ii_let_19880601_padre-coyne_en.html</ref>

[[CIA]] reports have [[Warsaw Pact]] nation Communist [[Bulgaria]] as a culprit.<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8G3J3J00&show_article=1 Italian Panel: Soviets Behind Pope Attack] Ap, March 2, 2006</ref>

On May 13, 1982, an ultra-conservative Spanish monk named Juan Maria Fernandez y Krohn attacked Pope John Paul II with a bayonet in Fatima, Portugal. At the time, the pope concealed the fact from the public that Fernandez y Krohn had wounded him with the blade. The monk was sentenced to 6-1/2 years in prison for the attack.<ref>[http://www.cbn.com/spirituallife/ChurchAndMinistry/PopeJohnPaulIITimeline.aspx Pope John Paul II Timeline]</ref><ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7673443.stm Pope John Paul 'Wounded' in 1982]</ref>

Due to these attacks, the "Popemobile", a bullet-proof car, was used for Pope John Paul's visit to Great Britain on May 28 through June 2, 1982.<ref>[http://www.cbn.com/spirituallife/ChurchAndMinistry/PopeJohnPaulIITimeline.aspx Pope John Paul II Timeline]</ref>

== Quotes ==
Speaking of Crossing The Threshold of [[Hope]]. [[God]] is always on the side of the suffering. His omnipotence is manifested precisely in the fact that he freely accepted suffering. He could have chosen not to do so. He could have chosen to demonstrate his [[omnipotence]] even at the moment of the [[Crucifixion]]. In fact, it was proposed to him: "Let the Messiah, the King of Israel come down now from the cross that we may see and believe." ([[Gospel of Mark|Mark]] 15.32) But he did not accept that challenge. The fact that he stayed on the Cross until the end, the fact that on the Cross he could say, as do all who suffer, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Mark 15.34) If the agony on the Cross had not happened, the truth that God is Love would have been unfounded. Yes! God is Love and precisely for this he gave his Son, to reveal himself completely as Love. [[Christ]] is the One who "loved...to the end." ([[Gospel of John|John]] 13.1) "To the end" means to the last breath.

"[[Science]] can purify [[religion]] from error and superstition; religion can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes. Each can draw the other into a wider world, a world in which both can flourish.... We need each other to be what we must be, what we are called to be."<ref>http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_paul_ii/letters/1988/documents/hf_jp-ii_let_19880601_padre-coyne_en.html</ref>

Methodism

2023-11-26T06:39:52Z

SteKelBry:

'''Methodism''' is a branch of [[Christianity]] partly based on the teachings of [[John Wesley]]. When Wesley was a student at [[Oxford University]], he founded a group of Bible students dedicated to prayer and a methodical discipline. Others made fun of them, calling them "Methodists."

In the United States there are several major Methodist bodies:
* The [[United Methodist Church]]
* The [[Free Methodist Church]]
* The African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME)
* The [[Christian Methodist Episcopal Church]] (CME)
* The African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church
* The [[Global Methodist Church]]

All of these Methodist churches have the "connectional" form of government in which there are [[bishop]]s, annual conferences and general conferences. The annual conference, presided over by a bishop, is divided into districts presided over by superintendents. The bishops together with the superintendents appoint the local ministers. In some of the smaller Methodist bodies, such as the Southern Methodist Church, the Primitive Methodist Church, and the Evangelical Methodist Church, there are no bishops.

John Wesley, the founder of the movement, was a minister of the [[Church of England]] (Anglican) who on May 22, 1739 had a conversion experience while listening to the reading of [[Luther]]'s commentary on St. Paul's Letter to the Romans. He preached the Gospel in England and America for over 40 years following his conversion, and tens of thousands joined his lay groups. They remained in the Church of England until after Wesley's death.

In the United States, with Wesley's permission and support, the Methodists organized themselves as a separate denomination in December, 1784. Held in Baltimore, the Christmas Conference saw the ordination of pastors and the election of Francis Asbury as Superintendent, or bishop, of the newly formed Methodist Episcopal Church.

== Beliefs ==
Methodists are [[Protestants]] and believe the [[Bible]] to be divine revelation and the ultimate guide to doctrine. Scripture is understood through the use of reason, church tradition, and personal experience. This fourfold approach to religious truth—scripture, reason, tradition, and experience—is referred to as the Wesleyan Quadrilateral. By comparison, the Anglican church from which Methodism came speaks of a three-legged stool consisting of scripture, reason, and tradition.

Methodists are [[Arminianism|Arminian]] in doctrine, but unlike Arminian [[Baptists]], Methodists baptize infants and believe in the [[real presence]]. They are also characterized by their belief in [[perfectionism]], the teaching that a person in his earthly life can reach a state where he is no longer under the domination of sin. Methodists have long taught the Christian obligation to tend to the needs of the poor and unfortunate and, like [[Pentecostalism|Pentecostals]], they emphasize the importance of revival in the church.

== Colleges and Universities with a Methodist Affiliation ==
* Northwestern University (Illinois)
* Ohio Wesleyan (Ohio)
* Baldwin Wallace (Ohio)
* Otterbein (Ohio)
* Defiance (Ohio)
* Kenyon College (Ohio)
* Ohio Northern (Ohio)

Doocy pointed to Psaki’s claim, made a short time earlier in Thursday’s White House press briefing, that economists were predicting that inflation would begin to resolve by the end of the year — and he noted that the Biden administration had been claiming that inflation would be “transitory” or “temporary” since spring of 2021, only to reach record levels at the end of the year.</blockquote></ref>

As of 2021, the top 1% pays 40% of all the income taxes. The top 1% earned 21% of the income but paid 40% of the income tax. The entire bottom half of taxpayers who earned 11.6% of the income paid a 2.9% of all income tax. Six in ten households received more in direct government benefits than they pay in federal taxes. Over 53 million low and middle income individuals pay no income taxes because of refundable tax credit, which are effectively a form of federal spending through the tax code.

Analysts predict that Biden's American Families Plan would add 21 million Americans to the [[Nanny State|welfare rolls]]. Families earning six figures would be eligible for generous handouts.

===Deficit and dishonesty===
In Dec 2022, Biden, also, lied to the American poeole that he supposedly cut national debt by $1.7T, ×hike actualky he was increasing it $3.7T.<ref>
Steve Nelson, [Biden falsely says he cut national debt by $1.7T — after increasing it $3.7T], ''NYPost'', Dec 13, 2022.</ref>
<blockquote>Biden wrongly claimed Tuesday that he lowered the national debt by $1.7 trillion — when in fact the debt grew by nearly $3.7 trillion during his first 23 months in office. Biden made the error while using the terms “deficit” and “debt” interchangeably during remarks touting the slight decline in the annual inflation rate to 7.1% in November. “We’ve done all of this while lowering the federal deficit in the two years we’ve been in office $1.7 trillion,” Biden said before incorrectly adding, “Let me say that again — $1.7 trillion we’ve lowered the federal debt.”</blockquote>

[[Sinopec]] is a Chinese natural gas and mineral oil company and is the biggest company in [[China]]. Sinopec Marketing Company enjoyed nearly $1 billion in investment from Hunter Biden's private equity firm [[BHR Partners]]. Finalized in March 2015, the investments from the BHR Partners led to BHR amassing a nearly 30 percent stake in Sinopec. BHR Partner's [[LinkedIn]] profile highlights its Sinopec investment, revealing it was involved “in the pilot state-owned enterprise reform deal involving the segregation and capitalization of Sinopec Group’s non-oil business into Sinopec Marketing Corporation.” As of October 2021, Hunter Biden reportedly still owned a 10 percent stake in BHR Partners.<ref>https://thenationalpulse.com/exclusive/biden-linked-energy-firm-hits-record-level-production/</ref>

After the Biden regime canceled the Keystone XL destroying America's energy independence, by October 2021 when the global energy crisis hit, Sinopec reported record-breaking output figures. A company press release stated: "Fuling Shale Gas Field – the first commercially developed and operated large-scale shale gas field in China – announced on October 8 that it has produced 40 billion cubic meters of shale gas, setting a new record for the cumulative production of shale gas in the country."<ref>https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/sinopec-fuling-shale-gas-field-sets-new-cumulative-production-record-of-40-billion-cubic-meters-301396524.html</ref> In addition to killing off the domestic oil industry and enriching Russia and Saudi Arabia by doing so, Biden pledged to increase gas taxes by $90 billion.

After banning Russian oil due to Putin's operation to de-nazify Ukraine, Republicans<ref>https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10591883/amp/Republicans-tell-Biden-drill-America-ramp-oil-production.html</ref> and conservative pundits tried to push Biden to increase domestic oil production. Since March 2022, the Biden Junta has been releasing Oil from the Strategic Reserves to Europe.<ref>https://americanfaith.com/biden-giving-u-s-oil-from-strategic-reserve-to-europe/</ref> On June 2, 2022, the Biden Junta's Energy Secretary spoke about "clean energy goals" and gleefully asserted that gas will remain above $4 a gallon.<ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/06/biden-energy-secretary-rambles-clean-energy-goals-gleefully-declaring-gas-will-likely-remain-4-gallon-video/</ref>

Many police agencies in local communities stopped answering 911 emergency calls for lack of gasoline to get to the site.

===Energy crisis===
[[File:Granholm laugh.PNG|rright|300px|thumb|Granholm laughed at the suffering of ordinary people caused by high gasoline prices and the Biden regime's policy to cut back U.S. oil production.<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2021/11/06/energy-secretary-jennifer-granholm-laughs-at-your-high-gas-prices/</ref>]]
Energy Commisaar [[Jennifer Granholm]]'s deception was on full display in a Bloomberg TV interview. After Biden had destroyed the United States as the world's leading oil producer, Granholm laughed when asked about the hardships created by the Biden regime on ordinary Americans with higher gasoline and home heating oil prices.

Host Tom Keene asked, “What is the Granholm plan to increase oil production in America?” Granholm burst out laughing and said, “That is hilarious. Would that I had the magic wand on this. As you know, of course, oil is a global market. It is controlled by a cartel. That cartel is called [[OPEC]]. And they made a decision yesterday that they were not going to increase beyond what they were already planning."<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2021/11/05/energy-secy-granholm-laughs-blames-opec-when-asked-her-plan-to-increase-oil-production/</ref> The question of course, was about increasing production in America, not in OPEC countries.

Granholm was trotted out to the [[White House]] microphones to tell the [[White House Press Corps]] how brilliant, beneficial and strategically necessary it was to release 50 million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Granholm read the script, gave her talking points and then took questions. One journalist asked: “that said, how many barrels of oil do U.S. consumers use every day?”... Granholm paused, looked down and said: “I don’t have that number in front of me, I’m sorry“.<ref>https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2021/11/23/energy-secretary-touting-bidens-oil-release-doesnt-know-how-many-barrels-of-oil-we-use-or-need/</ref>

==Infrastructure==

[[File:Train derailment.jpg|right|300px|thumb|One of numerous typical train derailments and toxic chemical spills under the Biden regime.]]
Biden's American Jobs Plan would spend roughly $2 trillion on so-called "infrastructure" projects and other [[boondoggle]]s Biden proposed to pay for the spending by increasing taxes. “The largest federal tax increase since 1942,” is how the ''New York Times'' described the Biden plan.<ref>https://reason.com/2021/03/29/heres-how-bidens-proposed-tax-increases-will-affect-you/</ref> Biden claimed that the last five leaders of the [[Federal Reserve]] had declared that his American Jobs Plan proposal will increase economic growth.<ref>https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2021/05/05/remarks-by-president-biden-on-his-administrations-implementation-of-the-american-rescue-plan/</ref> The only problem with Biden's remarks was only three of the last five leaders of the Fed are still alive.<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/10/politics/fact-check-biden-federal-reserve-moodys-american-jobs-plan/index.html</ref>

The junta's infrastructure plan includes the building of clean energy infrastructure to reduce carbon emissions. The purpose is to shift the US from the use of fossil fuels and grow the amount of solar, wind and other renewable energy. Another of Biden's proposals is to spend $174 billion to boost the electric vehicle market and shift away from gas-powered cars. Wind turbines, solar panels and electric vehicles all rely on rare earth materials. Extracting rare earth materials is a highly polluting process. More than 60% of the world's solar panels are made in China. Forty-five percent of the global supply of solar-grade polysilicon, the base material used in solar cells, is made in China. Polysilicon is produced in Xinjiang, where China is accused of using forced labor in the production chains.<ref>https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/17335/china-rare-earth-materials</ref>

Only about 5% of the proposed $2.25 trillion plan goes for what traditionally is recognized as infrastructure; specifically, public construction projects, such as roads and bridges.<ref>https://www.dailysignal.com/2021/04/07/9-things-you-need-to-know-about-bidens-infrastructure-spending-plan/</ref> The junta's plan includes the building of clean energy infrastructure to reduce carbon emissions.

[[Ford]] Motor Company previously agreed with its workers, the [[United Auto Workers]] (UAW), to spend $900 million on a new electric vehicle product line for its Avon Lake, [[Ohio]] plant. The UAW had endorsed Joe Biden in the 2020 election. By March 2021, Ford announced it was shifting production to Mexico claiming "conditions had changed since 2019" when the agreement was made, according to ''[[Reuters]]''.<ref>https://www.reuters.com/article/us-mexico-ford-ohio-idUSKBN2B82V9</ref> The junta refused to enforce provisions of the [[USMCA]], which replaced the [[NAFTA]] trade deal.

The White House Council of Economic Advisers deleted its entire internship page after the ''[[Daily Caller]]'' News Foundation reported that the office offered exclusively unpaid positions despite calling for a higher federal [[minimum wage]].<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2021/05/21/white-house-council-of-economic-advisors-joe-biden/</ref> Biden had said on January 22, 2021, “No one in America should work 40 hours a week making below the poverty line. Fifteen dollars gets people above the poverty line. We have so many millions of people working 40 hours a week — working — and some with two jobs, and they’re still below the poverty line.”

==Child care==
The junta proposed spending $225 billion on subsidized daycare over the next decade as part of its nearly $2 trillion American Families Plan. This is on top of the proposed $200 billion the administration hopes to spend to create a universal government preschool program for 3- and 4-year-olds. The plan is presented as a way to get mothers back in the labor force by subsidizing child care expenses.<ref>https://www.bizpacreview.com/2021/06/13/bidens-taxpayer-funded-childcare-plan-wont-work-harvard-economist-and-obama-ally-concludes-1088302/</ref> A study on the long-term impact of universal child care subsidies found that "the negative effects on noncognitive outcomes persisted to school ages, and also that cohorts with increased child care access had worse health, lower life satisfaction, and higher crime rates later in life.” Boys were particularly harmed by the child care subsidy program: “Increases in aggression and hyperactivity are concentrated in boys, as is the rise in the crime rates.”<ref>https://pubs.aeaweb.org/doi/pdfplus/10.1257/pol.20170603</ref>

Two-parent households with two preschool-age children and incomes up to $130,000 would qualify for federal cash assistance for daycare. Single parents with two preschoolers and incomes up to $113,000 would qualify. And some families with incomes over $200,000 would be eligible for health-insurance subsidies.<ref>https://archive.is/SoYT8</ref>

''The Economist'' noted that “Joe Biden wants to Europeanise the American [[welfare state]]” by installing child care subsidies, universal government preschool, “free” community college, and related programs. When the [[UK]] implemented subsidized child care and preschool programs, it led to private providers going out of business, along with higher costs and less customer satisfaction.<ref>https://www.economist.com/united-states/2021/05/20/joe-biden-wants-to-europeanise-the-american-welfare-state</ref>

Steep government regulation of child care programs limits the supply of daycare providers by raising costs and barriers to entry. Occupational licensing and expanded degree requirements for daycare workers create higher costs. Between 2005 and 2017, the number of small, in-home family child care centers dropped by 48 percent, with providers citing increased regulations as a reason. [[Coronavirus lockdown]]s only made matters worse. Many small daycare providers shut down entirely, contributing to supply shortages and rising costs.

The junta budget proposal is basically an effort to begin teaching [[critical race theory]] to 3- and 4-year-olds. Critical race theory is [[pseudoscientific]] dogma that teaches "whiteness is a malignant, parasitic like condition" that is "voracious, insatiable, and perverse - with no permanent cure."<ref>https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9670579/Psychoanalyst-condemned-paper-branding-whiteness-malignant-parasitic-like-condition.html</ref>

==Climate change==
[[File:Climate Czar Kerry.PNG|right|300px|thumb|Climate Czar John Kerry went to China to discuss climate change and received the cold shoulder. The [[Taliban]] was more welcome. Kerry was given only a video conference with senior leaders, which could have been done from home in the United States.<ref>https://www.voanews.com/a/usa_us-politics_us-climate-envoy-kerry-gets-cold-shoulder-china/6219223.html</ref>]]
At an [[Earth Day]] virtual summit on April 22, 2021, Biden pledged to cut U.S. emissions by half by 2030,<ref>https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/biden-will-commit-halving-u-s-emissions-2030-part-paris-n1264892</ref> the [[European Union]] agreed to go carbon neutral by 2050,<ref>https://www.scmp.com/news/world/europe/article/3130431/european-union-agrees-go-carbon-neutral-2050-ahead-biden-climate</ref> and the People's Republic of China pledged only to reduce coal consumption - starting in 2026.<ref>https://www.reuters.com/world/china/chinas-xi-says-china-will-phase-down-coal-consumption-over-2026-2030-2021-04-22/</ref> The junta also waived sanctions on the Russian Nord Stream II pipeline, enriching Vladimir Putin and in direct contradiction to Biden's claim that the “climate crisis” is a major factor in foreign policy decisions. The pipeline from Russia to Germany undercuts Germany's efforts to meet [[Paris Climate Agreement]] targets. The Paris Agreement, which Biden rejoined in one of his first actions, also benefits Russia, which simply ignores carbon emission goals.<ref>https://www.dailysignal.com/2021/05/21/what-does-putin-have-on-biden/</ref>

Junta Executive Order on Climate-Related Financial Risk contained all the far-left Green New Deal climate change features to destroy [[fossil fuel]]s, [[capitalism]], jobs and the economy in the name of [[global warming]]. The order allowed the government to do virtually anything in any part of the economy or the financial markets, or labor markets, or [[agriculture]] — or anything — in the name of mitigating risk of [[climate change]]. The ''diktat'' claims that “intensifying impacts of climate change present physical risk to [[asset]]s, publicly traded securities, private investments, and companies — such as increased extreme weather risk leading to supply chain disruptions.”<ref>https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2021/05/20/executive-order-on-climate-related-financial-risk/</ref> The junta claimed the power to regulate everything, to include signing a loan for a new home, how savings and retirement funds are managed, and to “reduce the risk of climate change to the federal budget.”<ref>https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2021/05/20/fact-sheet-president-biden-directs-agencies-to-analyze-and-mitigate-the-risk-climate-change-poses-to-homeowners-and-consumers-businesses-and-workers-and-the-financial-system-and-federal-government/</ref> Massive and unprecedented central power would come from the District of Columbia and be exercised by upper- and middle-level [[bureaucrat]]s.<ref>https://www.nysun.com/national/bidens-radical-executive-order-on-global-warming/91529/</ref>

Biden plans to cut carbon emissions 50% by 2030 by driving farmers out of business and creating food shortages.<ref>https://www.mnfarmliving.com/2021/01/why-changes-capital-gains-tax-will-kill-family-farms.html</ref>
==Desperation / campaign tricks==
By June 2023, seeing the drastically low approvals, Biden's advisors pitched a so-called "Bidenomics." While in fact it was: a record of failure.<ref>[https://nypost.com/2023/06/29/bidenomics-is-a-record-of-failure/ 'Bidenomics' is a record of failure], ''NY Post'', Jun 29, 2023.</ref> Some at MSM volunteered to propagate for him too.

'''Kevin Owen McCarthy''' (born January 26, 1965) is the [[Speaker of the United States House of Representatives]], as elected by the [[House]] on January 7, 2023.<ref>https://www.rte.ie/news/2023/0107/1345337-kevin-mccarthy/</ref> It came after negotiations, including a concession that anyone can call for a vote to oust the Speaker and the creation of an investigative committee to probe the weaponization by [[liberal]]s of the federal government.

McCarthy is also the [[United States Representative]] for [[California]]'s 23rd congressional district. A [[Republican Party|Republican]], he was from 2014 to 2019 the House Majority Leader, elected by his colleagues to succeed [[Eric Cantor]] of [[Virginia]], who resigned from the House after his primary defeat by [[conservative]] [[Dave Brat]]. From 2007 to 2013, McCarthy represented the 22nd district of California. Prior to that time, he served in the [[California State Assembly]].

On November 15, 2022, McCarthy was re-elected the [[House Majority Leader]] for the remainder of the 117th session of [[Congress]] ending in January 2023. His election as Speaker of the House was contentious and required precedent-setting commitments to a [[conservative]] voting bloc.<ref>https://omaha.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/bacon-would-work-with-dems-to-elect-moderate-house-speaker-if-gops-mccarthy-falls-short/article_ecfa7c66-6491-11ed-9123-5393236e49c4.html</ref><ref>https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11430623/Gaetz-members-waterboarded-Liz-Cheney-vote-McCarthy-speaker.html</ref> While many hope that, as Speaker, he will reverse the [[Leftist]] [[tyranny]] imposed under [[Democrat]] [[Nancy Pelosi]]'s reign of terror against patriotic Americans (for example, the illegal [[Pelosi Panel]] witchhunt) and despite being endorsed by [[Donald J. Trump|President Trump]] himself,<ref>https://www.newsmax.com/politics/trump-endorse-kevin-mccarthy/2022/11/08/id/1095483/</ref><ref>https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/3512413-trump-endorses-mccarthy-as-strong-and-fearless-house-gop-leader/</ref><ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/08/us/politics/trump-mccarthy-mcconnell-speaker.html</ref> McCarthy has in the past promoted the interests of the [[Deep State]].

==U.S. House of Representatives==
In July 2020, McCarthy joined 71 House Republicans and all Democrats in voting to remove Civil War-era statues.<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/07/23/the-list-72-republicans-vote-with-democrats-to-remove-civil-war-era-memorabilia-from-u-s-capitol/ The List: 72 Republicans Vote with Democrats to Remove Civil War-Era Memorabilia from U.S. Capitol]</ref>

'''Dianne Feinstein''' (pronounced fine-stine), (b. June 22, 1933 - d. September 28, 2023; age 90), was the senior United States Senator from [[California]], member of the [[Democratic Party]] and outspoken anti-[[Roman Catholic Church|Catholic]] [[bigot]],<ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/senate-democrats-show-off-their-anti-religious-bigotry/2017/09/14/30f11e5e-9970-11e7-82e4-f1076f6d6152_story.html</ref> and communist China beloved.<ref>[https://www.nationalreview.com/news/dianne-feinstein-lauds-china-as-a-respectable-nation-in-senate-committee-hearing/ Dianne Feinstein Lauds China as a ‘Respectable Nation’ in Senate Committee Hearing]</ref> Her own California Democratic Party initially rejected her bid for reelection in 2018 by a vote of 65%-7% in favor of her opponent, Kevin de León,<ref>https://ktla.com/2018/07/14/kevin-de-leon-wins-endorsement-of-california-democratic-party-leaders-in-rebuke-of-dianne-feinstein/</ref> but Feinstein remained on the ballot and facilitated the last-minute [[Kavanaugh smear]], and then won reelection.

In April 2023 the [[Dem]] [[Establishment]] rudely demanded that Feinstein leave her committee chairmanship immediately, despite how it was already understood that she would retire rather than run for reelection in 2024. [[California]] Gov. [[Gavin Newsom]] has vowed to appoint a black woman if Feinstein retires during her term, while Rep. [[Adam Schiff]] reportedly wants to run for this seat in 2024.<ref>https://www.politico.com/news/2022/11/16/schiff-dem-house-leadership-00067996</ref>

As the ranking minority member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Feinstein will preside for [[Democrat]]s in the confirmation hearing of [[Amy Coney Barrett]]. Last time, when Barrett was confirmed to the [[Seventh Circuit]], Feinstein rudely said to Barrett:

==Background==
In 1955 while a student at Stanford, Feinstein personally hosted a delegation from the Soviet Writers Union when they toured the campus.

As mayor of San Francisco, Feinstein issued an official city proclamation in support of the World Festival of Youth and Students, held in [[Moscow]]. The event was organized by the Soviet-controlled World Federation of Democratic Youth and was supported by the [[Communist Party USA]] in 1986.

Feinstein traveled to Moscow that same year as part of a trade delegation of 450 U.S. businessmen and public officials.

A little over a year later, on Jan. 27, 1987, Soviet Consul General Valentin Kamenev presented Feinstein with a Soviet streetcar: “A streetcar named desire.” Also present at the ceremony was Viktor Zhelezny, deputy chief of public transport for the Russian Republic.

In 1990, a young woman was [[rape]]d by a foreign Feinstein money-backer at a $4,700-a-plate Dianne Feinstein fundraiser.<ref>https://youtu.be/3A_Zg2phhLI</ref>

==Political career==
Dianne Feinstein's career in [[liberal]] [[politics]] began when Governor [[Pat Brown]] appointed her to the California Women's Board of Terms and Parole. She would go on to get elected to the San Francisco County Board of Supervisors. Feinstein became Mayor of [[San Francisco]] in 1978 upon the assassination of Mayor [[George Moscone]]. She was elected in 1979 and then reelected in 1983. In 1984, Democrat presidential candidate [[Walter Mondale]] seriously considered her for vice president, but passed her over for [[Geraldine Ferraro]].<ref>The Almanac of American Politics, 2010</ref> In 1990, Feinstein made an unsuccessful bid for Governor of [[California]], losing to [[Republican]] Senator Pete Wilson. However, she did win his [[Senate]] seat in a special election and has been reelected three times. When coming into office Feinstein distanced herself from the [[Bill Clinton|Clinton administration]]. She voted against the [[North American Free Trade Agreement]] and opposed the [[Clinton health care plan of 1993|1993 Clinton Health Care Plan]]. Feinstein was re-elected in 1994 by a 47%-45% margin, in what was one of the most closely watched elections that year.

Feinstein is currently the Chairman of the Senate Rules and Administration Committee. She endorsed [[Hillary Clinton]] for president in June 2007 and later pushed her for the vice presidential nomination. Dianne Feinstein was mentioned as a possible candidate for Governor of California again in 2010; however, in February 2010, she announced she would not be running for Governor.

==Political positions==
Feinstein supported the [[Iraq war]] resolution in the vote of October 11, 2002 but has said she was misled by the President. She is also strongly opposed to 2nd amendment rights, one of her first accomplishments in the Senate was passing an assault weapons ban and she unsuccessfully sponsored legislation that would require licensing of all guns. While she is not considered a [[conservative]], Feinstein is considered more moderate than most Democrats from the San Francisco Bay Area. Feinstein supports the [[USA PATRIOT Act]] saying it helps the "protection of the American people." She supported the Bush tax cuts in 2001 and supported the GOP's Medicare prescription-drug bill in 2003. She is also a supporter of [[capital punishment]] and was the main Democratic sponsor of the 2006 constitutional flag burning amendment.

On other issues Dianne Feinstein is quite [[liberal]]. She has a solidly pro-[[abortion]] voting record. Feinstein called [[Guantanamo Bay]] detention camp a "failed experiment" and believes it should be shut down.

A [[liberal hypocrite]], Feinstein strongly favored [[mask mandate]]s during the [[CCP pandemic]]<ref>Multiple references:

==Corruption issues==
After Feinstein's unsuccessful gubernatorial race in 1990, she was fined $190,000 for failure to properly report campaign contributions.

In 2003, Feinstein was ranked the fifth wealthiest senator, with an estimated net worth of $26 million. By 2005 her net worth had increased up to $99 million. Her 347-page financial disclosure statement draws clear lines between her assets and those of her husband, with many of her assets in blind trusts.

In January 2009, the issue was raised whether Feinstein violated Senate ethics rules to avoid appearances of conflicts of interest when she introduced legislation that gave $25 billion to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. to help finance an FDIC proposal to avoid home foreclosures by promoting loan workouts and increasing federal loan guarantees. Just before the FDIC had signed a contract with CBRE, her husband's firm, to unload foreclosed properties for prices higher than industry averages. Spokesmen for the FDIC, Feinstein and CBRE said there was no connection between the legislation and the contract and that the couple didn't know about CBRE's business with FDIC until after it was awarded.<ref>[https://www.newsmax.com/insidecover/feinstein_fdic_husband/2009/04/21/205455.html]</ref>

==Corruption issues==
After Feinstein's unsuccessful gubernatorial race in 1990, she was fined $190,000 for failure to properly report campaign contributions.

In 2003, Feinstein was ranked the fifth wealthiest senator, with an estimated net worth of $26 million. By 2005 her net worth had increased up to $99 million. Her 347-page financial disclosure statement draws clear lines between her assets and those of her husband, with many of her assets in blind trusts.

In January 2009, the issue was raised whether Feinstein violated Senate ethics rules to avoid appearances of conflicts of interest when she introduced legislation that gave $25 billion to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. to help finance an FDIC proposal to avoid home foreclosures by promoting loan workouts and increasing federal loan guarantees. Just before the FDIC had signed a contract with CBRE, her husband's firm, to unload foreclosed properties for prices higher than industry averages. Spokesmen for the FDIC, Feinstein and CBRE said there was no connection between the legislation and the contract and that the couple didn't know about CBRE's business with FDIC until after it was awarded.<ref>[https://www.newsmax.com/insidecover/feinstein_fdic_husband/2009/04/21/205455.html]</ref>
