Kamala Harris’s 2020 campaign fell flat, and political observers criticized her campaigning as inept. She apparently learned from her mistakes, because four years later she’s grown as a campaigner. She ate Trump’s lunch in their debate, she’s campaigned on issues that resonat[...]

The tides of political change
Tides flow and ebb, and so does America’s political center. From 1980 to 2005, the progressive left “was mostly irrelevant to national politics,” a Vox article says (here). “The Cold War was over, and capitalism reigned ascendant.” The parties shifted — the GOP to[...]
Are mass deportations feasible?
Sure they are, our government could do that if a political administration is committed and organized enough, and invests enough taxpayer resources. During World War 2, the U.S. rounded up and imprisoned 120,000 Japanese-Americans, two-thirds of whom were American-born citizens. This violated their c[...]
George Floyd protests weren’t riots and didn’t kill 15,000 black men
A Republican liar claims “the post-George Floyd riots resulted in excess of over 15,000 black male deaths in this country.” It’s not remotely true. Ryan Gidursky, a rightwing activist (see his website here), made that assertion on a CNN talk show on Tuesday, October 15, 2024 (read stor[...]

On Friday, October 11, 2024, Trump unveiled his plans to “rescue” a Colorado city from the grip of foreign criminal gangs. Dubbed “Operation Aurora,” it entails sending in “elite squads of ICE, Border Patrol and federal law enforcement officers to arrest and deport ever[...]
PHOTOGRAPHY: Border wall
Although Trump lies about immigrants, wildly exaggerates migrant crime (U.S. citizens are twice as crime-prone), and has made immigration his 2024 campaign issue (see story here), his border wall (photo below) may come in handy when climate change — which Republicans insist is a hoax — d[...]
Why political lies matter
You can’t solve our country’s problems if you don’t have rational policies. Here are two CNN headlines and stories posted on Friday, September 27, 2024 (here), as the 2024 campaign enters a climactic phase: Trump campaign highlights stories of those killed by undocumented immigrant[...]
Vance blames his kid for the plague
J. D. Vance, Trump’s 2024 running mate, wants to compel America’s women to be housewives and produce children (so America’s businesses can fill jobs without immigrants), but he despises his own kids. It was already reported that when Trump called Vance to offer him the veep nominat[...]
J. D. Vance is lying about Haitians
J. D. Vance, Trump’s 2024 running mate, is asserting he has a right to “tell stories” about Haitian immigrants. He’s carrying out his party’s campaign strategy, which is what veep candidates typically do. Republicans have made immigrant-bashing a centerpiece of their 20[...]
