□ [“Kamala Campaign State-of-the-Race Memo Admits They Are ‘Clear Underdogs'"]

They really need to pretend the last four years didn't happen, or at least that Harris had nothing to do with it and totally it every step of the way.  One of these days she might even get around to visiting that far-away city of depravity called "Washington DC," then she'll teach them a lesson.  Yeah, that'll work.

Although to be fair, four years ago Biden was the underdog and Trump was as popular as he is now, look how that turned out.  I don't even know when tonight's debate will start, I certainly won't watch it, but I assume there will be immediate commentary, same as last time.  I didn't think Biden would do as badly as he did, so let's see if that happens again.

The campaign is pathetic.  They made a big deal out publicizing that Harris finally announced her policy, which was just copy-and-pasted from Biden's, including the lines that said we should "re-elect Joe Biden."  Someone finally got around to noticing that.  Meanwhile many people are comparing these polices to what she ran on in 2019 and see a massive difference with no explanation.

□ [“Harris Campaign Spox Refuses to Answer If She Still Supports Taxpayer-Funded Sex Change Surgeries For Illegal Aliens"]

She thought taking taxpayer money to cut your penis off would make her POTUS.  The goal hasn't changed but now she won't say if she still wants to do that or what's changed.  She won't even say why it was so important that people don't pay for getting their penis cut off out themselves.

I'm getting the impression that this was the same as the Bernie Sanders candidacy in 2016.  It's not that they wanted to be puppethead, it's that they were advertising what the real agenda would be, whatever the actual candidate might say.  Now she has to face the consequences and that's not in her skill set.

□ [“'Excuse Me, Are You His Daughter?' 1995 Video of San Francisco Mayor and His Mistress"]

The video comes back from when pictures didn't have many words, so it's not specific what show or channel this was made for, but it sounds like a news show and/or ad for Willie Brown and we're told it was aired on ABC, the same year that the tv channel was purchased by Disney, the channel doing the debate tonight.

It's also worth noting that Harris is only in a few clips.  Brown is briefly seen dancing with someone that's probably her, and there's the "are you his daughter?" clip.  That was obviously deliberate, they knew she wasn't and were making sure those "in the know" were aware of that.  Brown was a big fan of Jim Jones, so I've always assume there's some cult that's been going on and growing ever since, not even including the problems of San Francisco itself.

The timing of putting this out, the connections to Disney, this all seems very deliberate, and possibly to be used by both sides.  A signal to everybody who would need to know.  It might be easier to just say those who don't have any shame, because Harris clearly didn't have any in 1995 on ABC, so nothing about her has changed since then.

□ [“John Kirby on Disastrous Afghanistan Withdrawal:  ‘We Have All Held Ourselves Accountable’"]

Did anybody lose a pay increase?  Never mind losing their jobs, we know nobody lost their jobs no matter how badly they screwed up or how many people they got killed.  Nobody was even demoted for this failure, but did anybody not get more money as a result of this?  A slap on the hand, saying 'don't do that again'?  No, of course not.  Because they're accountable.

Being in charge means you have the responsibility.  You can't just blame someone who left years earlier, you take command and everything is on you.  You can see that with the military change-of-commands, the new commander says that all orders are still active.  I'm blanking on the actual phrase used, but that's what's said every time, because that's how the new commander works.

They're trying to bury this which will just keep building.  This is why it's important to fix things as soon as possible at the lowest level, but that's contrary to how our masters operate.  They make all the decisions, they demand all the credit, they accept none of the blame.  Afghanistan knows that, as does the rest of the world.  You really should have taken responsibility when you had the chance.

□ [“Beijing Waging Hybrid Warfare Against U.S."]

Interesting, and possibly the best explanation of what's going on, that China has a coordinated strategy of attacks, ranging from diplomatic, economic, military, cyber and information domain.  They've been doing this throughout the world and, if true, could be very effective.  What sticks out to me about this narrative is that, without engaging in actual combat, China would have organized itself collectively and has been operating on a wartime level for years.

War is not just on the battlefield, it requires equipment, supply and logistics, communication, fuel and transportation, and that's just for the military forces that reach the battlefield.  Then there's all the support units, then there's the military industrial complex, then there's all their associates, foreign and domestic, all the way down to the sister-in-law of someone who advertises cameras for a tv network in a factory city that produces widgets for one part of one brand of computers to handle financing for an oil company that fuels transports of food to troops on the front line.  Drop the battle part of that and it's still a huge amount of society involved in that.

China has over a billion people, you'd think it's impossible to organize any group that big, but, well, it's China.  It's what they've always done, and they're closing in on a hundred years of leftist dictatorship for experience.  Adjust that to the diplomates and cyberhackers and megacorporations and push that through the world, that's what we're dealing with.

I'm not saying I believe this, but I'm going to be thinking about it for a while.  There's a distinction between being at war for real and pretending the way western leftists do, or right-wingers, for that matter.  This could be why we know we're war but don't understand it because there's no enemy in front of us, that we can see or confront.

□ [“Belgium Panics as Hungary’s Orbán Expected To Bus Illegals To Migration-Loving EU Capital Brussels"]

The EU is getting ready to break down as well.  They can't handle the invasion.  At least Eastern Europe has dealt with it before in the last century.  They know what happens and they don't like it.  So their best option is to turn against their masters who made this happen.  You want them, you can have them.

Brussels has already been fining Hungary for protecting their border, although it's not clear if Hungary has ever bothered to pay those fines.  Now the Belgian migration minister can only whine that since Hungary isn't living up to European agreements, Belgium won't accept these immigrants.

Dude, you don't get a choice.  They show up and you get to pay for them for the rest of their lives.  That's the standard you impose on everyone else to make them suffer, now it's your turn.  Belgium has always been a parasite and they've used that to dominate the continent.  Definitely time for it to fall hard.
