Schrodinger's Candidate -- simultaneously the least liked and the most popular candidate... ever.

Schrodinger's Candidate -- simultaneously the least liked and the most popular candidate... ever.

I have learned that "favorability" or "approval" means next to nothing. We have had many lousy politicians with low favorability who keep getting re-elected. Lindsey Graham's "approval" rating is as low as Biden's among SC republicans but he keeps getting re-elected. If those people who disapprove would participate in the primaries, they could probably change that, but alas, it requires a miniscule effort that no one can be bothered with.

So yeah, whenever you see a favorability poll, it's basically asking people who are more than willing to say they don't like a particular politician, but they are too lazy to do anything about it.

In other words, it's meaningless.

Dude, even BLM blasted Kamala on their X/Twitter.... she is not popular and never was. She was put into place as a backstop for Biden. They're running her basically in case Trump dies of a heart-attack before November or whatever. And if they're stupid, they'll cheat their brains out a second time but it's not going to work. There's no amount of fake that is fake enough to plaster over this gaping, festering sore of a campaign...

Ron Paul’s ‘No Taxes on Tips’ for servers in 2008 and 2012 was pure libertarian populism.

That's why Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are now campaigning on it too.

Harris needs a month to prepare for a interview if at all..

Kamala Wants Price Controls, and It’s Not Because She Has “Good Intentions”
08/15/2024 • Ryan McMaken

The Kamala Harris campaign announced today that it will present a plan to ban “price gouging” by food suppliers. In other words, the Harris campaign plans to mandate price controls.

Get ready for rising prices and shortages in meat and other groceries, because that’s where laws against “price gouging”—which are price controls—lead.

One doesn’t need to know the arcane intricacies of economic theory to understand the effects of price controls. We know what happens in the wake of price controls because it’s happened before in the United States.

In the 1970s, thanks to years of big-time federal spending on wars and welfare programs, the US abandoned its gold obligations under the Bretton Woods system, and Nixon closed the gold window. Knowing that this would cause prices to rapidly rise, the Nixon administration also implemented a number of wage and price controls as part of a “temporary” 90-day freeze on wages, prices, and rents. These were the first peacetime price controls in US history. As you might guess, however, price controls did not end after 90 days. Only the “freeze” lasted 90 days. After that, prices would be governed by a “Price Commission” and “Pay Board” that would only slowly abolish price controls—but not until after the 1972 election, of course.

By early 1973, many producers had endured price controls for 18 months. US Senate report then concluded that price controls had caused a breakdown in energy production and distribution. Fuel shortages were “far more extensive than anticipated.”

A freeze on prices meant it was no longer profitable for many producers to bring products to markets. The supply of goods and services fell while prices rose. Prices accelerated into 1972 when the CPI rose 3.8 percent, followed by a CPI increase of 8.8 percent in 1973 and 12.2 percent in 1974.

Price controls on food led to predictably disastrous results. Under Nixon’s price controls, farmers couldn’t sell chicken products at prices high enough to justify the cost of feeding the chickens. In the early 1970s, farmers killed over a million baby chicks. Similar problems occurred in the beef and pork industries with farmers sending pregnant sows to the slaughterhouse while dairy cows were butchered.

With prices already being forced upward by the inflationary pressure of Nixon’s runaway government spending and abandonment of the dollar’s last link to gold, price controls pushed prices even higher. Price controls were a key factor in the 1970s economy, now notable for stagflation and crippling cost-of-living increases.

Politically, however, Nixon’s price control scheme was a big success. Following the administration’s announcement on price controls, the Dow went up nearly 33 points, the largest one-day increase up to that time. Naturally, The New York Times showered praise on Nixon’s plan. Moreover, Nixon and his surrogates claimed that Nixon was “doing something” about rising prices. The public loved this “activist” president who was intervening to stop the fat cats from profiting off rising prices. When Nixon was finally forced out of office by the FBI’s orchestrated Watergate scheme, his plummeting popularity had nothing at all to do with the runaway inflation he caused. From the political side of things, experience suggests that price controls worked very well. They helped Nixon win re-election.

Indeed, to this day, when critics of the bad old days of the 1970s talk about the stagflation and economic malaise of that era, the critics usually only mention Jimmy Carter, who was saddled with the effects of Nixon’s experiment. Nixon—who crippled the 1970s economy with his monetary inflation and price controls—gets a free pass.

So, we shouldn’t be surprised that the Harris campaign is planning to enthusiastically announce its plans for price controls. The Harris people can claim she is “doing something” about the economy. This will all be couched in terms of “greedflation” and corporate windfalls and other economic myths used to claim that today’s rising prices—fueled by monetary inflation, massive deficit spending, and a runaway regulatory state—are actually the fault of “too much capitalism.”

Put another way, the price-control plan is nothing more than a cynical ploy to get Harris elected and to scapegoat farmers, ranchers, and other food producers.

I say “cynical” because, at this point, it is beyond naive to think that the Harris campaign is only pushing for price controls because Harris and her advisors have “good intentions,” but are “economically illiterate” and just don’t understand the “unintended consequences” of this policy. It is absurd in the year 2024 to think that no one in the White House or Harris campaign is aware of the effects of price controls.

They know. They just don’t care. Price controls are a political policy. The impoverishing economic effects are just “collateral damage” that are an easy price to pay for the ruling class that will have no problem paying its grocery bills. It is likely that Nixon knew what would happen also, and he didn’t care. What mattered was the 1972 election.

The problem isn’t that Harris’s policy advisors don’t know things about price controls. Politicians push these policies because the public doesn’t understand how price controls work. Outside of organizations like the Mises Institute, where would they learn such things? The economic “experts” in the legacy media never mention the historical realities of price controls. Certainly, few Americans were ever taught in their government-funded schools about the Nixon Shock or what happens when governments plan the economy.

For those who bother, however, to learn about economics and economic history is to understand how the regime is ripping us off. Without this knowledge—and without some understanding of the benefits of private property and free markets—it’s easy for politicians to simply assert that their latest tax or regulation will make everyone better off. Trump does it when he calls for higher taxes in the form of tariffs. A lot of people believe it. Harris is now doing the same thing with price controls. Many will believe her and happily support the latest government policy that will further crush them under a rising cost of living.

Kamala Harris has *extensive* communist ties.

Friends, I have conducted painstaking research into Kamala Harris, the presumed Democratic presidential nominee. My findings reveal that Kamala Harris has extensive communist ties.

As a political commentator, I have written numerous articles about Kamala Harris, detailing her activities when she was previously a presidential and vice presidential candidate. The evidence is clear: Kamala Harris is deeply connected to communist ideologies and individuals.

From her parents' involvement in a group that admired communist leaders like Fidel Castro and Che Guevara, to her relationship with Willie Brown, a communist sympathizer, and her mentorship of individuals linked to Maoist communist groups, Kamala Harris's background is deeply concerning.

Kamala Harris was supported by Steve Phillips, a former Marxist-Leninist and member of the pro-Chinese communist group League of Revolutionary Struggle. Philips married into the wealthy Sandler family, using his connections and wealth to finance and support Harris's political career, just as he did for Barack Obama, Cory Booker, Stacey Abrams and others.

Furthermore, her political career has been supported by individuals with communist affiliations, including her current chief of staff and her husband, who works for a law firm with extensive ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

Kamala Harris's communist ties cannot be ignored. It is crucial that the American people are aware of the true nature of the presumed Democratic presidential nominee.

The question is this: "What kind of America do we want to leave for future generations?"

Stay informed, stay vigilant. The future of America is at stake.

Chaos erupts at Kamala Harris NYC event as DNC braces for Chicago unrest


https://www.foxnews.com/us/chaos-eru...chicago-unrest

Anti-Israel agitators hurled smoke bombs and expletives in Harlem Wednesday night after a pro-Kamala Harris campaign party in what could be a preview of planned demonstrations in Chicago next week, where the Democrats will hold their 2024 convention.

A keffiyeh-wearing mob barged into a packed restaurant, accusing people at the bar of setting "Palestine on fire" in an apparent reference to Israel's counteroffensive in the Gaza Strip after a Hamas terror attack Oct. 7, 2023, left hundreds of Israelis dead.

Video shows the bartender making a phone call as patrons try to ignore the interruption. Police soon arrived to make arrests as the mob blared horns, rang bells and shouted in a chaotic scene.

Only a few dozen protesters were reported at Wednesday night's havoc in Harlem. Tens of thousands are expected at the largest rallies planned for Chicago next week.

"What you saw the NYPD dealing with on the streets of New York in response to the Democratic rally to endorse Kamala Harris is a preview of what law enforcement in Chicago will be dealing with next week at the Democratic National Convention," said John Macari, a retired NYPD lieutenant and co-host of "The Finest Unfiltered Podcast."

"Soft-on-crime blue city laws and policy have emboldened agitators and those looking to incite riots during protests."

Harris did not attend the event. But New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, Mayor Eric Adams and other local Democrats held the event to endorse the Harris-Walz 2024 ticket.

The mob caused thousands of dollars in damage to the small business, the New York Post reported Thursday.

By not prosecuting, the cities are inviting the riots to happen.

In the chaotic aftermath, protesters also scribbled the phrase "Free Gaza" on an NYPD cruiser, photos show.

"This is happening more and more," said David Gelman, a New Jersey-based attorney and former prosecutor. "The problem is that, one, this is happening in Dem-run cities where the prosecutors will refuse to prosecute them for unlawful conduct. By not prosecuting, the cities are inviting the riots to happen and are just as culpable when they do."

A second issue, he said, is that anti-Israel agitators have claimed riotous acts are protected by the First Amendment.

"When you are violent and threaten violence, you aren’t protected by free speech anymore," he told Fox News Digital. "The irony is that if the protesters pulled this in Gaza, there is no way they would see the light of day."

Organizers in the Windy City have been feuding with city leaders inside and outside of court, seeking more space to conduct large demonstrations on Monday and Thursday, the first and last nights of the DNC.

AMERICAN TOURISTS VISITING NATIONAL LANDMARKS LESS SAFE AFTER PARKS POLICE QUIETLY NEGLECTED

A federal judge handed four groups a defeat earlier this week, denying their request to move their protest route inside the convention's secured perimeter. They countered by holding a rally outside City Hall, blasting the city for denying permits that would have allowed them to bring their own audio amplification and portable toilets.

The groups unsuccessfully argued that the city's restrictions on their protest plans violate the First Amendment.

City of Chicago lawyers told the judge the city had already granted concessions to the organizers, including allowing them to get closer to the United Center, one of two places where the convention will be held, FOX 32 Chicago reported.

And they would be allowed to use sound equipment and a stage provided by the city at Union Park, the start and end of the approved march route.

Protest organizers reportedly expect tens of thousands of people to show up as they plan to demand an end to Democrats' support of Israel in its fight against Hamas, a designated terror group.

Separately, pro-Israel organizers are looking to conduct counter demonstrations.

Chicago has hosted more major party political conventions than any other city — 14 Republican conventions and 11 Democratic conventions between 1860 and 1996, according to the Chicago History Museum.

But it's the specter of one that has officials worried.

In 1968, anti-Vietnam War protests erupted outside the convention that nominated Hubert Humphrey in his unsuccessful campaign against Richard Nixon.

According to a 1968 government report, protesters had been urged to show up with smoke bombs, fake delegate cards and football helmets, among other "props."

Glad to be of assistance! Watching the music video again I realized something I never noticed. The crowd is black and white people getting along. A shyster in a brown hat is working the crowd stealing money and jewlry off of everyone, black or white, rich or poor. (The "man without conviction?") Eventually that catch him cheating at poker and everyone on the boat comes together and forced him to walk the plank into the river. If only that would happen in real life.
