Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | KAmala's Speech Indicates the Ultimate Basement Strategy, Keeping All of Her Policy Positions In the Basement and Entirely UndiscussedSaw this in a meme: 1. Biden has this economy the best in years.She's proposing a "new course." What is that course? As Nancy Pelosi said, we have to vote for it to find out what's in it. Ed Morrissey: Last night, Kamala Harris repeatedly asserted that she would "chart a new course," or "chart a new way forward." For that, one would expect a chart or two. Harris competently delivered a well-received but nearly substance-free acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention. At 37 minutes, give or take, it ran long enough for the occasion without tiring the audience, in the hall or on television. And mirablile dictu, we never got the ubiquitous Harris incantation, "what we can be, unburdened by what has been.""Nobody tonight said a damn thing," said CNN's conservative panelist Scott Jennings. Democrats are asking you to vote for a complete unknown -- they won't say what their politics, policies, or plans are. She's claiming to be a "blank slate" candidate: Jennings points out she's not a blank slate. Her slate is written with three and a half years of Biden-Harris failures: runaway inflation, an economy on the edge of depression, an open border.
Vice President Kamala Harris has yet to publish a policy page on her campaign website, prompting the Trump campaign to launch a mock site outlining what it claims are Harris' policy positions. The site criticizes her on key issues like immigration and the economy. Key Details: The Trump campaign launched a website detailing what it alleges to be Kamala Harris' policy positions, criticizing her for not releasing her own platform. The website accuses Harris of supporting policies like open borders, higher taxes, and freeing criminals. The launch comes as Harris attends the Democratic National Convention, where she has not yet detailed her policy proposals.As you know, neither Beyonce, nor Taylor Swift, nor George Bush appeared at the convention, despite Democrats putting out the word to their media allies that some huge high-profile guest would appear. This was probably all a lie, to intrigue people into tuning into Kamala's vapid, self-affirming, Girlboss speech.

Prediction: Polling will be worse than ever. Don't trust it. They'll cook them however they need to in order to manufacture a Kamala post-DNC bump. In truth, the ground is collapsing under their feet. By the time the debate happens, this is going to break open, maybe not to 1980 levels, but big.

Yes indeed. From comment willowed below:
And I think that's the reason for not having any policy proposals in her convention speech. It's a stump speech. "Getting to know her, getting to know all about her" just not about actuall policies may get some people to think "I don't like that" whereas if it's all, "My mother worked very hard and "joy, joy, joy" people can more easily vote on identity politics and "she seems like a likeable person." No; I don't think she's likeable person, but I'm not an undecided voter who normally leans left. Posted by: FenelonSpoke at August 23, 2024 01:06 PM (dTTBf) 17

All the rate increases in the world aren't gonna tame this inflation. Because the root cause of this inflation is not anything related to interest rates. It's trillions of dollars of fake money dumped into the economy (and still being dumped into the economy) while at the same time strangling important, money- and job-creating industries (oil and gas, etc).
Until this dumping and strangling stops, you could raise interest rates to 50% and it wouldn't work. All the fed did with its interest rate machinations is make a bad situation worse. Posted by: Doctor Elric Blade, Esq. at August 23, 2024 01:10 PM (iFTx/) 34

The Left used to have a lot to say. Whether you agreed with it or not was your own personal choice. But, they have gotten to such a hypocritical, deceitful stance... convoluted by the various niche groups who are often in opposition to some other group within the DNC, that they can no longer stand for anything without offending others they depend upon for support.
This goes doubly so in a general election year, because they are obligated to move towards the center and misrepresent themselves to secure votes. All that being said, I'm surprised that the DNC has a convention. It turns into a game of Whack a Mole after highlighting an event formed to lay down policies, all the while refusing to do so. It's like going to a car show and there aren't any cars there. Posted by: Orson at August 23, 2024 01:12 PM (dIske) 45

Posted by: Doctor Elric Blade, Esq. at August 23, 2024 01:10 PM (iFTx/) How to reduce the money volume in relation to actual value in an economy to get inflation under control: 1) allow all the malinvestments to go bust and wash out the deadwood via bankruptcy and sell-off of assets at firesale pricing 2. Slow money creation and increase economic growth to catch up and surpass money and credit creation C: erase zeroes on the ledgers or give everyone with saved money a haircut 1 is going to happen. it is unavoidable, though as long as there is free or easy credit in the Fed it will be delayed and papered over until it all goes boom. Boom sounds like a recession or depression, and the boom gets louder the longer it is delayed 2 is how Powell is trying to put the brakes on. Money is being created via federal debt, since the Treasury under Yellen is making Treasuries and compelling the Fed to create more money to cover them.

1. Flat out lie about what's in it, and 2. Lie equally in claiming Trump is involved with it. That is proof of what total frauds they are. And we really need to hit them in the face with it.

Experience should teach us wisdom. Most of the difficulties our Government now encounters and most of the dangers which impend over our Union have sprung from an abandonment of the legitimate objects of Government by our national legislation[. . .] Many of our rich men have not been content with equal protection and equal benefits, but have besought us to make them richer by act of Congress. By attempting to gratify their desires we have in the results of our legislation arrayed section against section, interest against interest, and man against man, in a fearful commotion which threatens to shake the foundations of our Union. It is time to pause in our career to review our principles, and if possible revive that devoted patriotism and spirit of compromise which distinguished the sages of the Revolution and the fathers of our Union. If we can not at once, in justice to interests vested under improvident legislation, make our Government what it ought to be, we can at least take a stand against all new grants of monopolies and exclusive privileges, against any prostitution of our Government to the advancement of the few at the expense of the many

Prediction: Polling will be worse than ever. Don't trust it. They'll cook them however they need to in order to manufacture a Kamala post-DNC bump.
****BREAKING**** Fairleigh Dickinson National Poll Harris 50% TFG 43% So that's 3 legit polls yesterday: Harris +6, +7, and +8. FDU is a very highly ranked poll, this is the 32nd higest ranked pollster on 538 out of about 400 pollsters. Probably would be considered an A- rated poll under their old system with enough of a national lead you inevitably galvanize support in metro areas that spill over into neighboring states -such as was the case with Obama’s 2008 Chicago suburbs turnout that spilled over into Indiana and won him the state. RCP is a joke. People should ignore RCP altogether, it's like the Trump campaign's polling. 538 is still legit and transparent. But I agree theyt're behind the curve as they're including stale polls in their average still, so that 3.6 average could really be +5.0 for Harris, we'll see that in the coming weeks.

They claim interest rates are now well above inflation.
That seems false, to me. Well below 5%? "Chicago Federal Reserve President Austan Goolsbee on Friday indicated he backs reductions in U.S. interest rates and said "we are not just fighting inflation now." With inflation slowing toward the Fed's 2% annual goal, Goolsbee said interest rates are the most restrictive in decades in an interview with CNBC. That's economic lingo for interest rates being well above the rate of inflation. The high level of rates, he said, is putting stress in the economy and has created weakness in parts of the jobs market." Posted by: illiniwek at August 23, 2024 01:34 PM (Cus5s) 170

This only works if you believe the "surge."
And further believe that is was due to her being "historic, first, woman, black." And not because Democrats just didn't want Joe's policies. Remember, when Joe was "sharp as a tack," when he was going to mop the floor with Trump at the debate, his poll numbers were shit. And it wasn't because he was old. Anointing her was their one chance to pretend Biden's policies were not the policies of the Democrats. And she just spent the last 4 days telling America that ALL of Biden's policies are her policies. Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at August 23, 2024 01:37 PM (qky8v) 187

And nearly none of it had anything to do with "what has been" over the last four years, or indeed since Harris left her office as Attorney General. Harris never mentioned her time in the US Senate, or indeed much at all about spending the last three and a half years as Vice President in the current administration."

As you know, all threads are movie threads. I found this interesting, a (30 minute with no chapter breaks) video on presidents' favorite movies. To no one's surprise (except the Donks') Woodrow Wilson's favorite movie was The Birth of a Nation which features the KKK as the heroes. Jimmy Cracker's is also more than a little non PC, Gone With the Wind. Current Fearless Leader Biden's favorite is Chariots of Fire because it's about people putting principle before self. (I shit you not!) Caveat voyeur, the presenter is an empty head prog. For example, he found it ironic that Reagan's favorite was It's a Wonderful Life since Reagan was just like the villain, Mr. Potter. There might have been something in that movies about how the little guy matters. Old man Bush's was Viva Zapata! which was also John McCain's. Mine, of course, is Debby Does Dallas.

Stay away from the gloomy thoughts - they help no one, and do a lot of harm.

Senate - Rule of thumb is going to be the candidates will run about 2 to 3 behind Trump in the state.
That means Brown and Tester are going to lose. Lake is going to be close, but could do much better if Trump opens a lead up to 5 or 7. Rosen in NV could be in trouble, depending on how things go in the next two months. Casey will probably win, same with Baldwin and Slotkin.

250 My dearest Hordelings, worrying and fretting will not change anything, you know that. The way I see it, we need to do what little we can, which is to vote and encourage others to vote (unless they plan to vote for Kamala in which case tell them it's going to rain and they should just stay home) and for the rest of it we just need to trust God. Stay away from the gloomy thoughts - they help no one, and do a lot of harm.
