thepoliticalinsider--2020-08-12--Remember When Tulsi Gabbard Shredded Kamala Harris’ Horrible Record On Criminal Justice?

When presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden chose Senator and former primary rival Kamala Harris for his running mate on Tuesday , many were reminded of the moment when Tulsi Gabbard absolutely decimated Harris during the 2020 Democratic debates .
It was over a year ago that Harris was campaigning for the White House competitively on her own and was considered by many observers to be a top-tier candidate .
Harris targeted Biden on the prime time debate stage , claiming that the former vice president and senator rubbed elbows with racists and segregationists .
When Harris went into a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was a prime target for Democratic rivals seeking to stop her momentum .
Among the most notable moments to emerge from the event featured Hawaii Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard tearing into Harris ’ s record as California ’ s attorney general , highlighting her glaring hypocrisy over marijuana use .
“ Senator Harris said she ’ s proud of her record as a prosecutor and that she ’ ll be a prosecutor president , ” Gabbard said , “ But I ’ m deeply concerned about this record.
” “ She put over @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and then laughed about it when she was asked if she ’ d ever smoked marijuana , ” Gabbard said as the split screen showed a flustered Harris .
“ She blocked evidence that would have freed a man from death row until the courts forced her to do so , ” Gabbard charged .
Harris drops out of presidential race after Gabbard exchange “ She kept people in prison beyond their sentences to use them as cheap labor for the state of California , ” Gabbard blistered .
“ And she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ place that impacts poor people in the worst kind of way.
” Harris shot back at Gabbard that she ’ s “ proud of that record , ” but after the debate , she rapidly lost ground in the polls .
She was essentially done .
In December , Harris dropped out of the race two months before the first contest in Iowa .
The clip of Gabbard taking down Harris made the rounds in the wake of Biden announcing her as his vice presidential pick .
The senator tweeted , “ Remember @ @ @ @ @ @ @ record of locking up thousands of young minorities , of being an overzealous drug warrior and of her record as a harsh prosecutor ?

When Harris went into a July primary debate the former California prosecutor was a prime target for Democratic rivals seeking to stop her momentum.
Among the most notable moments to emerge from the event featured Hawaii Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard tearing into Harris’s record as California’s attorney general, highlighting her glaring hypocrisy over marijuana use.
“Senator Harris said she’s proud of her record as a prosecutor and that she’ll be a prosecutor president,” Gabbard said, “But I’m deeply concerned about this record.”
“She put over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations, and then laughed about it when she was asked if she’d ever smoked marijuana,” Gabbard said as the split screen showed a flustered Harris.
“She blocked evidence that would have freed a man from death row until the courts forced her to do so,” Gabbard charged.

“She kept people in prison beyond their sentences to use them as cheap labor for the state of California,” Gabbard blistered. “And she fought to keep cash bail system in place that impacts poor people in the worst kind of way.”

thepoliticalinsider--2020-08-11--Poll Finds President Trump’s Silent Majority – They’re Abundant

Most people know conservatives are undercounted in polls because they are not as loud and annoying as the Left and prefer to keep their opinions to themselves .
In personal deportment that is admirable .
But it can skew the hell out of polls .
Ironically , a Cato Institute poll says just that .
Well now , with the social price you pay in certain circles for being a Trump supporter , gee , I wonder who a majority of those 62 % might be ?
Thus any presidential horse race poll you see from the major media may @ @ @ @ @ @ @ data missing .
What does that say about its credibility ?
Given a majority of those ( given the data here ) are Republicans , how far away is Trump from Biden ?
Perhaps not far off at all , if not beating him .
In case you ’ re wondering , the Cato Institute is a well respected D.C. libertarian think tank .
Amongst other data from the Cato report , “ These fears cross partisan lines .
Majorities of Democrats ( 52 % ) , independents ( 59 % ) and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they have political opinions they are afraid to share.
” Welcome to the self-censorship of the cancel culture .
“ Strong liberals stand out , however , as the only political group who feel they can express themselves .
Nearly 6 in 10 ( 58 % ) of staunch liberals feel they can say what they believe .
However , centrist liberals feel differently .
A slim majority ( 52 % ) of liberals feel they have to self‐censor , as do 64 % of moderates , and 77 % of conservatives .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ issue that divides the Democratic coalition between centrist Democrats and their left flank.
” Hard-left types are loud , annoying , and bellow their opinions .
They and the liberals don ’ t get along on free speech .
Not exactly a surprise .
“ The share of conservatives ( who feel they have to self censor ) rose 70 % to 77 % , also a 7 point increase .
Strong conservatives are the only group with little change .
They are about as likely now ( 77 % ) to say @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2017 ( 76 % ) .
” They do so not only out of social and business pressure , but because they do not want to be among the likes of AOC and Tlaib—loud screeching idiots .
“ Self censorship is widespread across demographic groups as well .
Nearly two thirds of Latin Americans ( 65 % ) and White Americans ( 64 % ) and nearly half of African Americans ( 49 % ) have political views they are afraid to share .
Majorities of men ( 65 % ) and women @ @ @ @ @ @ @ incomes over $ 100,000 ( 60 % ) and people with incomes less than $ 20,000 ( 58 % ) , people under 35 ( 55 % ) and over 65 ( 66 % ) , religious ( 71 % ) and non religious ( 56 % ) all agree that the political climate prevents them from expressing their true beliefs.
” It ’ s across the board .
The Left ’ s cancel culture is killing free speech in America .
This next stat is the most frightening of all .
That @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wallet and lose your job .
That ’ s what the Left desires .
And finally , no great astonishment here : Young leftists are the worst little fascists we have seen in this country since their hippy ancestors “ Young Americans are also more likely than older Americans to support punishing people at work for personal donations to Trump .
Forty‐four percent ( 44 % ) of Americans under 30 support firing executives if they donate to Trump .
This share declines to 22 % among those over 55 years old—a 20 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Guard of the Democrats wants you silent and unemployed .
Such is their regard for their fellow Americans .
But this info may have a bracing effect on conservatives who have remained silent in the past , knowing now they are not alone and could indeed be this election ’ s true silent majority .

When we went to the inauguration as a family, I was floored by the amount of negative comments I received. I kept my political comments to myself. When we left NY to move to Florida—I was done. Now IDGAF. I’m not silent anymore.”

thepoliticalinsider--2020-08-13--Oregon Police Side With Rioters – Clash With ICE Agents After They Arrest Two Violent Criminals

The state of Oregon and its cities like Portland have been defying federal authority for months , if not longer .
Now police in one of its cities have decided not only to ignore federal law , but are openly siding with rioters against federal agents who are attempting to apprehend criminals .
When federal agents in Bend , Oregon , clashed with hundreds of rioters late Wednesday night after a long standoff motivated by the arrest of two men by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers ( whom ICE said were a “ threat to the public ” ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rioters and worked with them to thwart law enforcement efforts .
The feds , naturally then , keep them in the dark .
“ The Bend Police are not involved with ICE operations , ” the Bend Police statement said .
“ We do not use funds or personnel or equipment to enforce federal immigration laws or to detain people based on immigration status…We are on scene to allow free speech and a peaceful area to assemble and to provide life safety support.
” There was vandalism , threats of violence , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their duties .
But the Bend Police term that “ peaceful ” and an exercise in “ free speech.
” This kind of action by local police departments must be forcefully terminated or the charade must end and , as has been called for in this other publications , Oregon and the rest of the West Coast must one way or another leave the United States , given they no longer will abide by federal laws .
“ We want to ensure community members present are safe , ” the Bend Police department @ @ @ @ @ @ @ telling rioters that federal agents were heading to the area to disperse the crowd .

The two individuals arrested each had a history of criminal violent behavior… While @ @ @ @ @ @ @ voice their opinion peacefully , that does not include illegally interfering with their federal law enforcement duties .
ICE will take all necessary measures to ensure the safety of its officers and detainees , and will vigorously pursue prosecution against anyone who puts them in harm ’ s way.

When federal agents in Bend, Oregon, clashed with hundreds of rioters late Wednesday night after a long standoff motivated by the arrest of two men by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers (whom ICE said were a “threat to the public”), Bend Police took the side of rioters and worked with them to thwart law enforcement efforts. The feds, naturally then, keep them in the dark.
Chief Krantz Statement: Yesterday and today the Bend Police were made aware that ICE agents were in Bend for an investigation, however we were not made aware of their detailed plans. — City of Bend Police Department #BendPolice (@BendCityPolice) August 13, 2020
“The Bend Police are not involved with ICE operations,” the Bend Police statement said. “We do not use funds or personnel or equipment to enforce federal immigration laws or to detain people based on immigration status…We are on scene to allow free speech and a peaceful area to assemble and to provide life safety support.”
There was vandalism, threats of violence, and an attempt to impede federal officers in their duties. But the Bend Police term that “peaceful” and an exercise in “free speech.”
This kind of action by local police departments must be forcefully terminated or the charade must end and, as has been called for in this other publications, Oregon and the rest of the West Coast must one way or another leave the United States, given they no longer will abide by federal laws.
“We want to ensure community members present are safe,” the Bend Police department said in a statement Wednesday evening, telling rioters that federal agents were heading to the area to disperse the crowd. “Please move to sidewalks, or leave the area.” In this instance the Bend Police Department acted as an intel warning system for the rioters.
Acting DHS Deputy Secretary Ken Cucinelli reacted to the local provocation:
“The law enforcement activity in Bend, Oregon is part of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s mission to arrest criminal aliens presenting a danger to public safety and take them off the street. The two individuals arrested each had a history of criminal violent behavior… While ICE respects the rights of people to voice their opinion peacefully, that does not include illegally interfering with their federal law enforcement duties. ICE will take all necessary measures to ensure the safety of its officers and detainees, and will vigorously pursue prosecution against anyone who puts them in harm’s way.”
Bend Mayor Sally Russell commented that she doesn’t support ICE, saying, “I am very worried for everyone in our community, and especially our Latin community. ICE is a Federal agency and frustratingly we have no power over the Executive Branch of our country.”
So, she thinks local governments should have power over a federal agency. Not exactly a MENSA member, Mayor Russell. By the way Sally, you do have that power. It’s called a vote.
As this kind of thing spreads it must be closed down at every opportunity. If not, as said above, let’s just be politically done with Oregon and the whole bloody West Coast ilk. We share little in common with them anymore. Let’s make it official.

“And one of the things that is so terrible is in this epidemic because we’re saying we have to assault the virus, we have to defeat the virus, contain the virus, stop the spread, and that means we have to have testing, tracing, treatment, masks, spacing, all the rest of it,” she continued.
Pelosi went on, “And we especially have to look into the minority community, which is suffering an undue disproportionate impact of this virus.”

“Think of this: a Hispanic child is eight times more likely to be hospitalized with the virus than other children,” she claimed. “Eight times. An African-American child is five times more likely to be hospitalized from the virus than other children. I mean, this is a challenge to our conscience. But, again, they refuse to face the gravity of the situation and listen to scientists and tell us what we need to do.”
“And with their school money that they have, they want to spend the overwhelming bulk of it, in only schools that open up,” Pelosi finished.


thepoliticalinsider--2020-08-13--Mike Pence Eager To Debate Biden’s Hotheaded VP Nominee Kamala Harris And Set The Record Straight

You can already see it , like some preordained destiny .
In the veep debate currently scheduled for October 7th at the University of Utah , Kamala Harris will make some befuddled hysterical opening statement accusing President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence of fascism and pistol whipping kittens for orgiastic pleasure .
Pence will sigh .
Then he will steadily and logically make a case for Trump and against Biden .
The press will then echo Harris , as the airhead veep nominee herself sanctimoniously plays the race card and her decibel range reaches ionospheric levels .
Pence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Fox News ’ Sean Hannity , played it smart rather than say , as above , what he really thinks .
He raised expectations to watch her fall from an artificial height and went after the Democrat ticket at their vulnerable points .
“ I think she is a skilled debater , but I can ’ t wait to get to Salt Lake City and be on the stage —whether to compare Joe Biden ’ s nearly 50 years in public life , the agenda of the radical Left , the agenda that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ career — with the results of this president and this administration.
” “ Joe Biden and Kamala Harris come from a party that ’ s been talking about helping African-Americans for decades .
This is a president who , because of the policies we advanced , we actually saw the lowest unemployment ever recorded for African-Americans .
We saw the creation of thousands of opportunity zones creating billions of dollars of investment in our inner cities .
This is a president who doubled the school choice program here in our nation ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ opportunities for every American , especially [ in ] our minority communities.
” Cue Harris to accuse them both of racism .
Cue the media to sympathetically nod .
Pence scorched the Democrats regarding taxation and more : Then he administered the coup de grâce , saying : “ And the truth of the matter is , beyond all of that , with everything that ’ s happening in Chicago and New York and Portland and Seattle , you have in President Trump , a leader who is standing without apology with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ And in Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are Democratic Party and the radical Left , you have people talking about cutting funding to law enforcement , a party that is advocating defunding law enforcement .
The choice could not be clearer.
” Will their clash have an effect on the race ?
Marginally .
It will bolster the Republican message on how leftwing the ticket is and how much they are in the thrall of Antifa and Black Lives Matter .
But the undercard will be more entertaining than anything else .

Pence will sigh. Then he will steadily and logically make a case for Trump and against Biden. The press will then echo Harris, as the airhead veep nominee herself sanctimoniously plays the race card and her decibel range reaches ionospheric levels.
Pence, in a Wednesday night interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, played it smart rather than say, as above, what he really thinks. He raised expectations to watch her fall from an artificial height and went after the Democrat ticket at their vulnerable points.
“I think she is a skilled debater, but I can’t wait to get to Salt Lake City and be on the stage —whether to compare Joe Biden’s nearly 50 years in public life, the agenda of the radical Left, the agenda that she’s embraced throughout her political career — with the results of this president and this administration.”
A GOP political celebrity and possible 2024 ticket contender agreed.
Looking forward to the VP debate. @Mike_Pence: freedom, strong families & safe communities. Harris: take away your health insurance, trillions in new taxes & mass incarceration. — Kristi Noem (@KristiNoem) August 11, 2020
Pence hit their minority base, anticipating the race card:
“Joe Biden and Kamala Harris come from a party that’s been talking about helping African-Americans for decades. This is a president who, because of the policies we advanced, we actually saw the lowest unemployment ever recorded for African-Americans. We saw the creation of thousands of opportunity zones creating billions of dollars of investment in our inner cities. This is a president who doubled the school choice program here in our nation’s capital, has been fighting for educational opportunities for every American, especially [in] our minority communities.”
Cue Harris to accuse them both of racism. Cue the media to sympathetically nod.
Pence scorched the Democrats regarding taxation and more:
“They actually want to raise taxes by $4 trillion. They want to do their own version of the Green New Deal, of a $2 trillion, massive environmental agenda. They’re going to appoint activist [judges] to our courts. They’re going to support taxpayer funding of abortion. They support open borders.”
Then he administered the coup de grâce, saying:
“And the truth of the matter is, beyond all of that, with everything that’s happening in Chicago and New York and Portland and Seattle, you have in President Trump, a leader who is standing without apology with the men and women of law enforcement. And in Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are Democratic Party and the radical Left, you have people talking about cutting funding to law enforcement, a party that is advocating defunding law enforcement. The choice could not be clearer.”
Will their clash have an effect on the race? Marginally. It will bolster the Republican message on how leftwing the ticket is and how much they are in the thrall of Antifa and Black Lives Matter. But the undercard will be more entertaining than anything else. Make sure to bring your own popcorn.

A joint statement, put forward by Israel’s PM Benjamin Netanyahu, the UAE’s Crown Prince, and President Trump, noted that the “historic diplomatic breakthrough will advance peace in the Middle East region and is a testament to the bold diplomacy and vision of the three leaders and the courage of the United Arab Emirates and Israel to chart a new path that will unlock the great potential in the region.”

Historic, Fantastic News
This is fantastic news for stability in the region. The President had previously been accused by the left of only stoking tensions and division in the Middle East by his actions, such as moving the American embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, but this has once again proved all his doubters wrong. America, as Israel’s only true ally in the region, is integral to peace talks, and Israel views President Trump as a true friend.
The peace deal between Israel and the UAE also strongly bolsters opposition to Iran in the region. It is yet to be seen if other Arab League or Sunni nations will be convinced to strike peace deals with Israel, or even just drop official hostilities. If other Arab states are broad on board, this could end up being one of the defining legacies of Trump’s presidency.

Portland’s ‘Antifa Mayor’ Says Of Rioters Trying To Murder Police Officers: ‘I Understand Why They’re Angry’

Sarah Iannarone , the self-described “ antifa ” candidate who is running against Ted Wheeler to be mayor of Portland , Oregon , refused to condemn the rioters who have been violently attacking police officers in recent months .
KGW Channel 8 host Laural Porter gave Iannarone what should have been a simple question , asking her to denounce the violence while not condemning the actual protests themselves .
Even so , Iannarone could not bring herself to say that the violence being perpetrated against police was wrong .
Porter brought up a recent op-ed by Police Chief Chuck Lovell @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Matter protesters while also denouncing violence .
“ Police Chief Lovell is asking the community to denounce the late-night protests , the smaller group of protesters who are causing damage , setting fires , throwing bricks at officers .
He and other black community leaders and activists say it ’ s taking away from the Black Lives Matter message , ” Porter said .
“ He cited how people broke into the Justice Center , destroyed the first-floor interior , lit fires with people inside the building , there was looting and destruction @ @ @ @ @ @ @ night , individuals screwed the doors of the North Precinct building shut , barricaded entrances , lit fires with people inside.
” “ Nearby businesses , some owned by people of color , were damaged and looted .
Some protesters have shot off commercial-grade fireworks , and Wednesday night … we saw more fires set outside the East Precinct , ” Porter added .
“ Do you denounce this kind of behavior , separate from the larger , more peaceful protests , Sarah ?
” “ They say an ounce of prevention is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would have to go back prior to this uprising to work on the issues that are causing these folks to be angry in the streets , working on police accountability , ” she said .
“ And so I know that nobody controls a social movement , and the mayor really isn ’ t the person to quell popular protests.
” Even though Porter had clearly distinguished the protests from he violence , the candidate added , “ But we need to understand these protests are an important part of a healthy democracy.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , “ But what about the criminal activity we ’ re seeing ?
Do you denounce that part of it ?
” “ But lighting fires with people inside the building ?
Would you denounce that part of it with lighting fires , arson with people inside buildings ?
” Porter pressed .
“ I ’ m not the person setting the fires , I ’ m not the person doing the graffiti , I ’ m not here to tell people how to protest , ” Iannarone responded , before Porter interrupted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you denounce it ?
So you won ’ t denounce it ?
” “ I don ’ t smash windows .
I clean up when things are unfairly targeted , but here ’ s what I have to say , ” the Antifa candidate fired back .
“ Their outrage at the police is valid and the problem of police brutality and executing black lives in the streets is more important than petty vandalism to me.
” The conversation only devolved from there , with the two going back and forth until Iannarone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in my opinion , might not necessarily be moving the conversation forward.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-08-13--RINO Kasich To Headline For Democrats – Ignores Biden Racial Slurs

RINO and former Ohio GOP Governor John Kasich will be speaking for the Democrats at their national convention this month .
How does he justify his self-serving apostasy ?
“ The reason I didn ’ t support Trump the last time is I was afraid that he would be a divider and not a unifier , and our best leaders historically have been unifiers , ” said Kasich .
“ But unfortunately , as I ’ ve watched him over the last three-and-a-half years now , he ’ s continued to do that and I don ’ t think the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ divided.
” “ And so , I had to search my conscience , ” he added .
“ When the Democrats asked me to speak , I had to think about it , and I believe that we need a new direction .
We just can ’ t keep going the way that we ’ re going.
” Then Kasich really got laughably sanctimonious : “ If you ’ re not prepared to walk a lonely road and do the things that your conscience tells you to do , then how do you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the mirror ?
I mean , I ’ m comfortable with the decisions I make .
Of course , there ’ s blowback… This is not an unusual place for me to be .
I ’ ve been a reformer almost all of my life .
I ’ ve been very independent and I ’ m a Republican but the Republican Party has always been my vehicle but never my master .
You have to do what you think is right in your heart and I ’ m comfortable here.
” No principles @ @ @ @ @ @ @ public servant .
His premise that our best leaders have been “ unifiers ” is historically absurd .
Has Kasich any idea how many people vilified Jefferson , Lincoln , Teddy Roosevelt , and Ronald Reagan in their time ?
Our best leaders have been fighters for what they thought was right , not namby pamby middle of the roadkill .
And even so , Biden is much more of a “ unifier ” than Trump ?
Here are some choice Biden quotes on race .
Would most black Americans find this unifying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Biden told radio host “ Charlamagne tha God ” McKelvy : “ I tell ya , if you have a problem figuring out whether you ’ re for me or Trump , then you ain ’ t black.
” On Aug. 6 , Biden told journalists : “ …unlike the African American community , with notable exceptions , the Latin community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things… Now when I mean full diversity , unlike the African American community , many other communities , you ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unifying .
No problem there at all .
Admitted Biden pal Democrat Senator Herman Talmadge of Georgia said , “ There aren ’ t enough troops in the whole United States to make the white people of this state send their children to school with colored children.
” And Biden said this about his future boss Barack Obama in the 2008 primary season , “ I mean , you got the sorta first mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy .
I mean , that ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that , according to Joe , all blacks were inarticulate , dumb , dirty , and ugly .
Ah , yes , Biden the unifier .

“And so, I had to search my conscience,” he added. “When the Democrats asked me to speak, I had to think about it, and I believe that we need a new direction. We just can’t keep going the way that we’re going.”
Former Republican Ohio Gov. John Kasich to make the case for a Joe Biden presidency at Democratic National Convention. “It was necessary to do this and I felt it’s the right thing to do,” says Kasich. “I believe that Biden can bring us together.” https://t.co/IFfK1ROsal pic.twitter.com/hFy6221IU4 — OutFrontCNN (@OutFrontCNN) August 11, 2020
Then Kasich really got laughably sanctimonious:

Our best leaders have been fighters for what they thought was right, not namby pamby middle of the roadkill.
And even so, Biden is much more of a “unifier” than Trump? Here are some choice Biden quotes on race. Would most black Americans find this unifying? Does Kasich?
On May 22, Biden told radio host “Charlamagne tha God” McKelvy: “I tell ya, if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”
On Aug. 6, Biden told journalists: “…unlike the African American community, with notable exceptions, the Latin community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things… Now when I mean full diversity, unlike the African American community, many other communities, you’re from everywhere.”
Yeah, how unifying. No problem there at all.
Remember this gem?
“Poor kids are just as bright, just as talented, as white kids,” Biden quipped. Ah, yes, no poor kids are white and all poor kids are not white. What a genius. Biden also had a soft spot for segregationists: “I was in a caucus with Democrat Senator James O. Eastland. He never called me boy, he always called me son.” Eastland called blacks “an inferior race.”
Admitted Biden pal Democrat Senator Herman Talmadge of Georgia said, “There aren’t enough troops in the whole United States to make the white people of this state send their children to school with colored children.”
And Biden said this about his future boss Barack Obama in the 2008 primary season, “I mean, you got the sorta first mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”
Before that, according to Joe, all blacks were inarticulate, dumb, dirty, and ugly. Ah, yes, Biden the unifier.
