No one is buying what Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party are selling these days.

The government, for the past year, has overstated joblessness by 818,000 jobs. That revision comes on top of the monthly revisions already made.

August 2024 marks the third anniversary of the Biden-Harris administration's most consequential international policy action: the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal.

Why Biden-Harris? Vice President Kamala Harris has said on several occasions she was "in the room" -- meaning in the decision loop -- when Joe Biden ordered a withdrawal based on ...Read more

Who is Kamala Harris? What does she believe? It's hard to know because she won't take questions from reporters. Instead, she reads from a teleprompter and gives the same speech again and again. She's eager to spend other people's money.

We've been told, over and over and over again, that Kamala Harris is the candidate of "joy." Tim Walz, upon accepting his vice presidential nomination, thanked her for "bringing back the joy." Rolling Stone gushed that Harris' "new politics of joy is the best way to fight fascism." The New York Times headlined, "Harris used to worry about ...Read more

The national prestige press proclaim the dangers of "misinformation" in this election and how our democracy is too important for voters to be misinformed, or "misinfluenced." But you can sense that what they mean is Republican arguments are inherently false and must be rebutted. This is the task of "journalism."
