Kamala Avoids Even Hearing Questions From Reporters With Earbuds

By William Teach September 3, 2024 – 6:45 am

And, with the state of the Credentialed Media, will any actually push back on this?

(UK Daily Mail) Kamala Harris continues to avoid facing the media alone, drawing derision for wearing earbuds as the throngs of reporters tried to question her as she got on a plane Monday.

Harris – who took more than a month to give an interview with a major media outlet after announcing her run for president – was leaving Joint Base Andrews in Maryland to campaign across the midwest Monday and was filmed boarding her flight.

The vice president, with apple earbuds connected via a USB cable to her phone, salutes and shakes hands with a soldier as she board the plane.

People can be overheard trying to get Harris’ attention, but she simply waved dismissively and got on the flight, adjusting her earbuds to make sure they were fully in her ears as she did so.

Seriously, this is the person running for the most powerful position on Earth?

Americans/Jews/Israelis were just slaughtered by Hamas, and she not only can’t answer questions, but, wears headphones to avoid hearing questions? And, seriously, how old is her phone that she can use wired headphones? And, come on, it’s 2024, wired headphones?

The Harris campaign now looks ahead to the presidential debate on ABC on September 10.

Trump will provide a hostile environment which she has so far managed to avoid.

Jennings last night said: ‘She’s trying to skip a block of time, and at the debate, Trump [will] not allow it.’

If she thinks the media will be friendly and try and stop her from answering question, Trump will be right there. And, America will be watching her avoid answering.

Your Fault: Hiker Deaths Increase In Grand Canyon

By William Teach September 2, 2024 – 4:37 pm

It couldn’t possibly have anything to do with more and more idiots trying to take selfies and vids of themselves for social media while hiking into areas they are unprepared for and/or dangerous, right, just like we’ve seen the “influencers” do for years now, especially post-COVID? Nope, you fault

Hiker deaths in Grand Canyon rise amid extreme weather linked to climate crisis

More than one dozen park-goers have died in Grand Canyon national park this summer, with three perishing in just over one week in August, as weather extremes linked to climate change make for increasingly dangerous conditions.

With 14 deaths reported in the park this season, total fatalities have already almost reached the annual average of 15, the Hill reported.

One hiker who died, Chenoa Nickerson, was last seen on 22 August above the confluence of Havasu Creek and the Colorado River, National Park Service officials said. Nickerson was reported missing after a flash flood hit the Havasu canyon, and her body was found on 25 August.

The Havasupai tribe reported catastrophic flash floods, which damaged “the main trail to Supai Village, trails within the village, tribal member homes, public utility systems and the campgrounds,” on the day she went missing. An 80-year-old man died when his boat capsized on 25 August, plunging him into the Colorado River, per the Hill.

The average deaths is 12, meaning some years are less and some are more

Heather Klein Olson, the American Hiking Society’s executive director, told the outlet that these deaths involve various factors. An uptick in intense rainfall, as well as development near parks that impact water systems, are among them.

At the same time, there is an influx of visitors after Covid-19. “Everyone is interested and wants to get outside, and it’s beautiful, and we love our outdoors,” Klein Olson told the Hill. “But there’s also a variety of factors that have to be considered when we get outside.”

Not everyone can really hike like that, and aren’t necessarily outdoors people. I took some people up to hike in Hillsborough, highest point west of Winston Salem, and some didn’t do that well hiking up 300 ft vertically. The Grand Canyon is much more, plus, all the water, which can be rough.

A causal link between climate change-induced weather extremes and Grand Canyon deaths remains unclear. But the US has been wracked by record-breaking weather events this year, including a spate of heatwaves that have impacted millions of Americans’ daily lives.

So, they have no idea, but, they’ll still blame it on ‘climate change’. It’s a cult.

NYC Illegal Alien Shelter Overrun As A Fight Club

By William Teach September 2, 2024 – 10:30 am

The local residents are pretty upset over this. How many have voted for Democrats and supported making NYC a sanctuary city?

NYC migrant shelter overrun by teen ‘fight club,’ constant shrieking as residents rip disturbance: ‘Becoming unbearable’

Neighbors can’t help but talk about this fight club.

The residents of a Queens apartment building say they’ve hardly had a moment’s peace since January when a 128-room hotel in Long Island City was transformed into a city-run migrant shelter.

Children living in the seven-story building loiter outside the front entrance in large, unsupervised groups practically every evening, claim residents next door at 911 44th Drive. From 8 p.m. until well past midnight, the kids fight and chase each other around, shouting, screaming — and disrupting neighbors’ sleep.

“I’ve seen the kids squaring off like its ‘Fight Club,’ and I’ve seen them choking each other,” said another resident. “Sometimes, the guards will come out and break it up. But I’ve also seen them do nothing.

Videos provided to The Post show the teens screaming and fighting outside the shelter’s main door, sometimes with the shelter’s security guards watching and egging them on.

Shouldn’t the Democrats be celebrating the diversity? Otherwise, to use their own language, they’re being racist.

“Because of the way the children scream and shriek, it pierces through everything,” said one a neighbor who has lived in the building since 2011, and asked to remain anonymous, fearing retaliation. “Since around April, I would say it has been a nightly occurrence.”

“I have nothing against migrants, but to have to listen to this every night, unable to sleep, it’s becoming unbearable,” he continued.

It truly stinks when you are forced to confront the consequences of your votes and beliefs, eh?

A Department of Social Services spokesperson would not even confirm the former hotel is now a shelter, “to safeguard the privacy of vulnerable New Yorkers” and “social services beneficiaries residing at these locations.”

Added the irate neighbor: “I don’t care who you are or where you come from, but be a good neighbor. It is really not more complicated than wanting to be able to sleep a reasonable amount of time.”

If you import the third world you get the third world. Enjoy!

Youts Have A Big Vote Decision: A Good Economy Or Climate (scam) Action

By William Teach September 2, 2024 – 7:00 am

For a change, ‘climate change’ isn’t coming in last or almost last on a poll

Economic issues, climate change, gun violence and abortion are top of mind for young voters

Forty-one million members of Gen Z can vote in this year’s election, and money is on their minds.

Economic issues — including inflation, cost of living and jobs that pay a living wage — are top of mind for young people when it comes to the 2024 Presidential Election, according to the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE) at Tufts University.

“Young people have the potential to have a huge impact,” said CIRCLE Spokesperson Alberto Medina.

Yeah, but, they so often go missing from the voting booth

The percentage of youth, ages 18-34 year olds, who selected each issue as one of their top three priorities, according to CIRCLE’s poll —

  • Cost of living/inflation — 53%
  • Jobs that pay a living wage — 28%
  • Gun violence prevention — 26%
  • Addressing climate change — 26%
  • Expanding access to abortion — 19%
  • Fighting racism — 13%
  • Securing the border — 13%
  • Public education — 13%
  • Student loan debt — 12%
  • Reducing the national debt — 11%

Ella Douglas, an 18-year-old freshman at Ohio State University, said the economy is her top issue. “I care about where our money is going,” she said.

Well, if that’s what she and 53% care about as their top issue, why would they vote for Kamala, who’s presided over much more expensive housing, food, energy, and so much more? Inflation that has outpaced wages? Do they really care enough about ‘climate change’ to destroy their own economic well-being?

Denver Police Searching For Person(s) Who Put Up Sign About Illegal Aliens

By William Teach September 2, 2024 – 6:45 am

They aren’t working hard to deal with all the crime by illegals/migrants, including the gang members, but, boy howdy, put up a sign and you’re in a heap of trouble

The Denver Post calls these signs “racist”, not understanding that the word doesn’t apply Hispanics, and, it’s so racist that they published a photo of the sign about Kamala’s illegals. Go figure. Anyhow

(KDVR) Community leaders gathered in Denver Friday to talk about racist signs popping up around the city. Leaders were frustrated and disappointed this hateful act happened in their neighborhood but were glad police acted swiftly to remove them.

“I was saddened yesterday when I saw these signs coming up,” said Sondra Young, president of the Denver Branch of the NAACP. “I was saddened for the fact that we say we want to make America great again, but we want to also spew hate and fear. We can’t make America great like that. I was saddened by the fact that people thought that this land is segregated and it’s not the land for all of us. It’s for all of our voices, our cultures, our ethnicities, our vernacular. This land was made for you and me.”

Aren’t these also the same people who have been complaining about the huge sums of taxpayer money being spent on the illegals, and how they’re bringing crime and squalor? Also, KDVR published the “racist” sign.

(Denver Police Chief) Thomas said police are not ready to talk about whether they have identified a suspect, but they are investigating the crime as a bias-motivated hate crime.

“At the very least, it is illegal to post signs on public or private property. I think what we are looking at very seriously are some bias-motivated state crimes that have much more serious punishments,” Thomas told a group of reports after the press conference. “Ultimately, it will be the district attorney that will make those charging decisions, but we will investigate this very vigorously as a bias-motivated hate crime.

“We are following a number of significant leads,” Thomas continued. “I think fostered by video evidence that we have and other evidence that we have, have helped us kind of narrow in on some individuals. We hope to make some positive identifications and continue to work with the district attorney. I’m hoping that we can hold someone accountable here fairly soon.”

Under Colorado law, it is a Class one misdemeanor, carrying a penalty of up to a year in jail.

I’m pretty sure that this form of protest is covered by the US 1st Amendment, and Article II, Section 10 of the Colorado Constitution. I know liberals are not particularly happy with allowing people to have free speech and the ability to protest unless said person agrees with the liberal position 100%.

Happy BidenHarrisflation Labor Day Weekend!

By William Teach September 1, 2024 – 7:00 am

Joe Biden’s intern is happy to post this

Wait, how is Brandon supposed to build 3 million homes by the end of January? They can’t even get 9 EV charging stations built. And no high speed internet hookups completed. As for inflation, he and Kamala helped cook it, and

No ‘Joy’ on Labor Day: Inflation Sends Cost of Cookouts Soaring

Americans are feeling less “joy” when firing up their grills and getting their marinades ready this Labor Day weekend, realizing that some of the classic barbecue staples are costing them a lot more.

It all begins with firing up the grill, which will cost more than it did three and a half years ago. According to data from the Bureau of Labor statistics, the price of propane, kerosene, and firewood has risen 16 percent from January 2021 to July 2024.

Staples of the basic all-American cookout are up too, meaning hamburgers and hotdogs are going to cost you. According to Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, the price of ground beef has risen 26 percent since January 2021, when former President Donald Trump left the White House.

Similarly, hotdogs are 25 percent higher than they were in January 2021. The price of chicken has also jumped since Biden and Harris came on the scene. Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, not seasonally adjusted, shows the price of fresh and frozen chicken parts 23 percent higher now than when Trump left office in January 2021. Matters are worse if Americans are looking to roast a whole chicken for their long weekend, as a fresh whole chicken is up 27 percent since January 2021.

And if friends and family are forgoing low carb trends and want to pair their barbecue delicacy with a roll, it is going to cost even more. Fresh biscuits, rolls, and muffins in the U.S. have risen 28 percent since Biden and Harris took office.

Side dishes, spices, lettuce, salad dressing, and beer are all up. So, people can vote for a guy they hate who does well on the economy, understands how it works, and wants you to have better costs without the government controlling everything, or, the lady who supercharged the issues as the economy was re-opening.
