Vice President Harris gave a vacuous, vapid acceptance speech that was almost wholly devoid of substance. She attempted to portray herself as a moderate, when in fact she has governed, through five years in the senate and almost four years as vice president, as an extreme radical. Indeed, she was designated, in 2019, as the most liberal senator, even more so than Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.
Ignoring the fact that Democrats have controlled the White House the past four years and twelve of the past sixteen years, she blamed Donald Trump for all the nations ills. The fact that the media gushed about the speech which was, in essence, an insult to the American people’s ability to remember recent events, is a searing indictment of the biased mainstream news establishment.
The pretension that Trump is the incumbent and she is the challenger was a staple throughout the convention, as was the repeated statements that the GOP sought to ban all abortions. Add to that the absurd claim that Trump endorses Project 2025, which he has repeatedly and vehemently criticized. As has been widely reported, “Trump said in a Truth Social post he has ‘no idea who is behind’ Project 2025, adding he disagrees with some of the project’s proposals for the next GOP administration and ‘some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal.’” There is nothing vague about that comment. The fact that shameless reporters refused to comment on the obvious falsehoods uttered throughout the four days in Chicago is despicable.
Harris alleged that she would keep America safe. How? By voting against adequate military budgets, as she has throughout her career? She pledged to secure the border. Really? As border czar, she presided over the largest influx of illegal immigrants in U.S. history.
There was barely any mention of the incongruity of her comments.
Similarly, much was made of how Barack Obama gave a great speech. Which part? When he made references to the penis size of the Republican candidate? Laughably, the former president exclaimed that “Our politics have become so polarized these days that all of us across the political spectrum seem so quick to assume the worst in others unless they agree with us on every single issue.” How did they get so polarized? Could it be the result of the false charges, commenced during the Obama presidency and extended for years, about “Russian collusion” that has been conclusively proven to be completely false? Or, perhaps, the charges levied against him when he sought to research the international corruption of Joe Biden?
Michelle Obama continued her tradition of bitterness and lies. Keep in mind that she is the woman who exclaimed that she was “never proud of her country” until they elected her husband President. At the convention, she said that Trump was “Doubling down on ugly, misogynistic, racist lies as a substitute for real ideas and solutions that will actually make people’s lives better.” Trump’s record on black employment was one of the best in history. She also seems to have forgotten that In both 1998 and 1999, Trump was an honored guest at the annual Wall Street Conference hosted by the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, Jesse Jackson’ DC-based “multi-racial, multi-issue, progressive, international membership organization fighting for social change.”
A convention is the perfect time to layout the goals a presidential candidate seeks to implement, and the way they will be achieved. That was completely missing. All that was provided was a denial of all that Harris has done and has stood for in the past. In that sense, the four day session was a complete failure, a failure that has gone wholly unreported by most of the media.
