“They had learned nothing and forgotten nothing.” – Often attributed to Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand

The Democratic election postmortem immediately descended into public blame-gaming—as expected. When Joe Biden was forced off the ticket in late July, the conspirators issued a party line that he was to be praised as a veritable George Washington—in the spirit of Washington’s farewell address of 1796 about why it was a good thing for the first president not to run for a third term.

So, we were lied to that Joe, the sitting President of the United States, was not forced out by Nancy Pelosi, the Obamas, George Clooney and the celebs, and the billionaire class. We instead were lectured that Biden, magnanimously as the neo-father of our country, selflessly bowed out to ensure Kamala Harris’s elevation as the nominee and, with it, a sure Democratic victory.

But now? After the Democratic train wreck, half the party is suddenly damning George Washington Joe for sticking around too long, even though party grandees cooked up the scheme in the first place of nominating the cognitively challenged Biden in 2020 to shut out his radical (and supposedly unelectable) primary rivals.

This is because Joe Biden will leave Trump with grave national security challenges around the world. U.S. weakness under Biden, Biden’s frivolous foreign policy that designated climate change as the top U.S. national security threat, and major foreign policy failures have caused U.S. and global security to seriously deteriorate since 2021.

The war in Ukraine, caused by Biden’s weak foreign policy and his disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, has become a stalemate and long-term war of attrition that could escalate, possibly with Russia using nuclear weapons, if Ukraine expands its attacks into Russian territory. President Biden and European leaders have no plan for a Ukrainian victory or ending the war and have instead promoted an endless war approach of arming Ukraine “for as long as it takes.”

U.S. relations with Russia and China plummeted during the Biden administration. Biden has not spoken to Russian President Putin since before Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. There has been little meaningful U.S. diplomacy with China. Biden’s inept foreign policy has pushed Russia into the hands of China as part of a new anti-West axis that includes Iran and North Korea. Chinese military provocations against Taiwan and in the South China Sea soared during the Biden years with no serious response by the United States.

And then there is the Middle East, where Israel is facing a seven-front war in the aftermath of the horrendous October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attack. Increased instability in the Middle East since Biden became president was caused by his appeasement of Iran, which is $100 billion richer today due to Biden’s refusal to enforce oil sanctions against Iran. Weak U.S. leadership under Biden also caused tensions to explode in this region. This includes recent missile attacks by Iran and Israel against each other for the first time and huge advances in Iran’s nuclear weapons program. Without a return of American deterrence and a strong U.S. president, the Middle East is facing the prospect of a full-scale Israel-Iran war that could go nuclear. […]

In a tweet on X, Massie praised Trump’s successful presidential bid and said Trump’s victory “secured a mandate for big ideas like reversing chronic disease, conserving our land, and empowering American farmers.”

The Kentucky Congressman noted that Trump was able to unite a number of neglected constituencies, including the Amish who wish to be left alone to grow healthy food, to parents seeking greater food freedom in accessing nutritious food for their families.

Massie stated that he is willing to help the newly elected president with agenda to focus on improving the health and well being of Americans but was careful to clarify that, as of yet, he had not received any commitments or offers from the incoming administration.

America’s adversaries took full advantage over the past three years of a sharp decline in American global influence and deterrence. This resulted in new wars and massive terrorist attacks, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a surge in provocations and threats by China against Taiwan and in the South China Sea, the October 7, 2023, Hamas massacre against Israel, a new 7-front war against Israel, a dangerous increase in Iran’s sponsorship of terrorism and major gains in its nuclear weapons program, a huge increase in North Korean missile tests, 11 million illegal migrants crossing our southern border, and other threats.

On top of this, a dangerous new Russia-China-Iran-North Korea axis began during the Biden years. Russia and China greatly strengthened their diplomatic, military, and economic ties. Iran has been providing Russia with missiles and drones for the Russian military to use in the war in Ukraine. North Korea has provided Russia with missiles, ammunition, and troops for this war. Russia has provided North Korea with missile technology. China, Russia, and Iran have held joint military exercises. There are reports these states may also hold a military exercise with North Korea.

However, despite the deterioration of the U.S.-led global order since 2021, America’s adversaries see even greater opportunities to exploit U.S. weakness under a Kamala Harris presidency.

There are two reasons for this. One reason is that the damage Joe Biden could do to U.S. national security was limited because many of President Trump’s successful national security policies were difficult for Biden to cancel or roll back. For example, the historic Abraham Accords, which normalized Israel’s relations with four Arab states, survived the Biden years despite President Biden’s inept, anti-Israel policies. The Biden administration wanted to move the U.S. embassy in Israel out of Jerusalem and create a consulate in Jerusalem for Palestinians but was thwarted by opposition from Israeli officials and members of Congress. Although Biden criticized the Trump administration’s sanctions against Iran and tariffs against China during the 2020 presidential campaign, he kept most of them in place. […]

Harris, her team, and national Democrats finally know it. But does their knowledge come too late? And can they fix it?

With his disastrous debate performance in June, Joe Biden showed the nation that he was old, floundering, and not up to the job. Polls confirmed it. National Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama, along with Team Harris, sprang into action.

Something had to be done. The “Democratic Politburo” decided – on behalf of 75 million Democratic voters – what the party’s best option was. Out with “Uncle Joe,” and in with the new and improved product: Kamala Harris.

What Harris and national Democrats didn’t realize was that, while this may have been a necessary national strategy, it was a horrible Pennsylvania strategy. In 2024, if you want to win the presidency, you need Pennsylvania – especially if you’re a Democrat. […]

As the Daily Caller reports, one such example is Congressman Colin Allred (D-Texas), the nominee for U.S. Senate against incumbent Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas). Despite Harris having visited the state half a dozen times in July and August, Allred never appeared with her at any of them. When he first endorsed Harris as the new nominee following Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the race, his statement focused more on Biden’s legacy rather than on Harris’ credentials.

During the debate between Cruz and Allred on Tuesday, Allred didn’t mention Harris’ name once, even after Cruz repeatedly mentioned her in an effort to tie Allred’s record to hers. Despite the race being seen as unusually competitive, Cruz still has the edge over Allred in most polling.

Another candidate is Senator Jon Tester (D-Mont.), considered one of the most vulnerable incumbents this cycle. Tester, the former chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC), has refused to endorse Harris in her presidential run. When he was asked in early October if he would vote for Harris, he simply responded by saying “that’s between me and the ballot box.” Tester is currently trailing in the polls to Republican challenger Tim Sheehy (R-Mont.).

Similarly, Senator Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) has also not appeared with Harris at any campaign events. […]

As reported by Fox News, Florida’s lawsuit states that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has an obligation to help verify the immigration status of anyone who is registered to vote.

“Because the federal government is refusing to comply with these obligations and frustrating Florida’s ability to maintain the integrity of its elections, Florida files this suit,” the lawsuit declares. The state added that it “has an obligation to maintain accurate and current voter registration records.”

State officials said that they have identified many illegals who are currently registered to vote, but upon reaching out to DHS’ U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), their requests for assistance were denied.

“Thus, Florida has identified a subset of individuals for whom it cannot verify citizenship or immigration status through SAVE and for whom DHS refuses to verify citizenship or immigration status through other means,” the state adds. […]

It is now well known that Kamala Harris was rated as the most left-wing of all current senators, including Bernie Sanders—according to GovTrack, a non-partisan compiler of evaluators in Congress. The Voteview project found her voting record the most liberal of all senators of the 21^st century, except for radical Elizabeth Warren.

Harris as vice president in a 50/50 Senate has proven the decisive passing vote on more deadlocked bills than any other vice president in history—all thirty-three of them proudly progressive legislation. She has done more to ensure left-wing government at the national level than any prior vice president.

Indeed, Harris, as both a California state official and its senator, and as vice president, has for some thirty years championed almost every issue dear to the left—Medicare for all, an end to private health care plans, banning fracking, mandatory EV requirements, unrestricted abortion, wealth taxes, income and inheritance tax hikes, defense cuts, price controls, open borders, ending the border patrol, stopping all deportations, opposition to a border wall, mass amnesties, free transition surgeries for illegal aliens, and mandatory buyback of semi-automatic firearms.
