Five Weeks ago, the Democrats were faced with a dilemma. Joe Biden was their candidate, but the Party was concerned about the Vice President. Kamala Harris had the worst approval rating in history and failed at every challenge Joe gave her. Kamala Harris was a liability and had to be replaced, but how?

The problem was solved by Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Kamala Harris. The problem became part of the solution. They plotted to force Joe Biden to drop out of the race and to endorse Kamala Harris as his replacement on the ticket. In five weeks, Harris went from the target of the Party to be removed from the ticket to the savior of democracy. Kamala magically went from the sacrificial lamb to the person in the cape who would defeat the evil Donald Trump and save democracy and the country. You cannot make this stuff up. Politics is like the wind. One day, it is blowing in your face, and the next, it is pushing you toward the next obstacle to overcome. Today, Kamala has the wind at her back. Tomorrow may be a different story.

The Democrats and the media keep saying that Joe decided not to run and that he put his love of the country over himself. That is about as factual as he is competent to be president, and he has been the president. Joe is leaving kicking and screaming. Yes, he made a long, flowery, fiery speech on Monday night. It was flowery in his phony praise for Kamala and what this administration accomplished. It was fiery in his relentless attacks on Donald Trump, using phrases that have long been debunked as false. It was not a good speech and will be torn apart sentence by sentence for its exaggeration and lies. But, in that respect, it is fitting for his last address to the country, for exaggeration and lies sums up Joe Biden’s fifty years in Washington.

As I read this, I sound bitter and angry; that is exactly my state of mind. The Democrats and media are scamming this country, and if successful, will drive the final nail into America. Our adversaries are chomping at the possibility of a Harris/Walz administration. Harris/Walz will continue to weaken America on the global front and crush the overburdened middle class that will have to pay for every program Kamala uses to buy her presidency.

Five weeks ago, 25% of Americans did not even know she existed. Five weeks ago, she had the lowest approval rating for a vice president in history. In the fastest turnaround ever orchestrated by a political party and the media, the American people have been hoodwinked. Now, 50% of the country believes Kamala Harris can solve the problems created by her and Biden in four years. We on the right see through the smoke and mirrors. We know what Kamala Harris is. Harris is an empty pantsuit who will continue to be the face of the evil Obama machine that is running this country. Unfortunately, four years ago, they chose an aging man who could no longer serve their purpose. Now, they have chosen a person who will check off many boxes but will be an embarrassment every day she is in office should they be successful in this coup of America. This convention is sad and maddening to watch and is proof of how ignorant and gullible half of this country has become. We cannot let them succeed, and the other half of the country has to muster the power and energy to save America in the next 90 days.
