“The left takes its vision seriously – more seriously than it takes the rights of other people. They want to be our shepherds. But that requires us to be sheep.” Thomas Sowell

Yesterday’s announcement that Taylor Swift is endorsing Kamala and Tim is enough to make your heart burst with pride.
That goes for the photo of her with one of her cats, signed “Childless Cat Lady” that she included.
In her post Swift said she is especially impressed with Kamala’s vice-presidential pick, whom, she says, “has been standing up for LGBTQ+ for decades.”
She’s probably not referring to, or aware of, the “Trans Refuge Bill” Walz signed into law as governor of Minnesota.
That law made Minnesota a Sanctuary State for trans kids to receive sex change surgeries, puberty and hormone blockers, if these were denied in their state of residence.
The problem Bob Rory, a 30-year Minnesota lawyer finds, is that the language in the law “amounts to the definition of a child ‘in need of protection’ in Minnesota, allowing the courts to take ‘emergency custody’ of the child.”
Potentially undercutting parental rights
Swift may not care about that, but I bet she’s opposed to removing a cat’s claws. And she most likely would be against a cat being eaten by illegal Haitian immigrants in Ohio.
Because it’s cruel. Like Walz’ law.
Insensitivity, and a penchant for plagiarism. This makes Swift a perfect Kamala fan.
Swift, despite tons of her own (crappy) songs, had to go and title-steal from Bananarama’s Cruel Summer. Like Kamala stole Trump’s policies.
Swift urged her Swifties to “Do your own research,” but maybe she didn’t take her own advice.
Does she know that when Kamala Harris visited the DMZ, she made a gaffe worse than Joe’s?
“The United States shares a very important relationship, which is an alliance with the Republic of North Korea,” she said, “And it is an alliance that is strong and enduring.”
Does Swift know that after 13 soldiers were killed in the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, Kamala was proud to say she was the “last person in the room” when Joe made the decision?
Or that ABC was wrong when it fact-checked Trump about abortion being allowed when a live birth abortion occurs.
Nevertheless, last night Kamala showed Hollywood-readiness for a successful acting career.
As reported, she “hunkered down” for five days and learned what she had to remember for the debate.
To give the Devil her due, (emphasis on "Devil" -- and "her"), the resulting optics were good for her.
But a seasoned police interrogator who commented on the debate, said that after years of observing suspects and their body language, and after he viewed the debate footage over and over, he believes Kamala had the questions.
Beforehand.
Like Donna Brazile and Hillary? Because Kamala’s buddy, Dana Walden, runs ABC News?
As for The Donald? He had to debate Kamala, David Muir and Linsey Davis.
When Trump said he took a bullet to the head, because of the hatred stirred up for years by the media, Democrats, and Joe, Muir cut him off.
“Mr. President,” Muir said. “We have a lot to get to.”
Writer Robertson Davies said, “Extraordinary people survive under the most terrible circumstances, and they become more extraordinary because of it.”
But people shouldn’t have to be subjected to terrible circumstances simply because they are running for president.
Yesterday former First Lady Melania Trump issued a rare statement about this very subject.
“The attempt to end my husband’s life was a horrible, distressing experience,” she wrote, “now the silence feels heavy.
“I can’t help but wonder: Why didn’t law enforcement officials arrest the shooter before the speech?
“There is definitely more to this story and we need to uncover the truth.”
We do.
But David Muir and ABC News aren’t interested. It would make Kamala look bad.
Assassinations have a way of doing that.
Hold the line, America.
Stay strong, Patriots.
