Can They Lie and Hide Their Way Into the White House?

I’m sure you noticed that the last 3.5 years of inflation has now become “price gouging” by corporations and businesses.   Kamala is going to start taking care of the “rising prices” on day one of her administration.  I guess there is nothing the Biden/Harris administration can do about it now.  But beginning January 20, 2025, prices will start dropping like a stone because Kamala is going to force businesses to stop “price gouging.”  Which means “price controls,” though they won’t call it that.   Which means Venezuela is coming to America.  Exactly what the Left wants, of course.  They’ve already imported millions of them.

Can the Harris/Walz ticket lie and hide their way into the White House?  That strategy worked four years ago for Joe Biden, and it’s obviously the strategy again, at least substantially.  They can’t blame Covid this year, as they often did in 2020.  Even the Democrat media knows Harris must come out of her hole in the ground occasionally and say something they can semi-intelligently gaslight.  But that same media also knows her previously stated policy positions are strychnine to most Americans and would get her slaughtered in November.  So, they are attempting to keep Americans ignorant of those policies, and help Harris and Walz define themselves as moderates, with Trump as Hitler.  Copy Trump’s popular policies when possible, then snowball the rest. 

Anti-price gouging, as a political policy, will work with economically illiterate Americans (about 99 percent of the population).  Nobody favors price gouging, though everybody but communists would oppose price controls.  Make sure those two concepts—price gouging and price controls—are never spoken in the same sentence.  “To stop price gouging doesn’t mean price controls!”  Well, yes, it does—how do you stop a business from “gouging” unless you control the prices they can charge?  Do we really want the federal government—Kamala Harris—telling businesses what they can charge for their goods or services?  Democrats actually do want that, but they can’t say it out loud.   So, oppose price gouging, don’t mention price controls, and fool the ignorant.  It’s a plan.

Harris will eventually do sit-down interviews and press conferences (as few as possible).  Whether whoever interviews her will ask the questions that need to be asked is extremely problematic.  But she won’t get anywhere near a reporter who will expose her for what she really is.   That’s part of the strategy, too.   Hide as much as possible, lie when necessary, and hope enough people hate Trump.  And cheat, naturally.

She knows she isn’t going to convince intelligent conservative voters.  She knows she’s already won the ignorant liberal voters.  What she—her media—must do is gaslight the remaining voters.  That attempt is already in full swing, of course.   She’s gone from lying about Joe Biden being the reincarnation of Albert Einstein to participating in the Biden coup due to his obvious mental decline.  She’s gone from having the most far-left radical record in the Senate to crawling back towards the center on those policies that just can’t be hidden (or are needed to win important states like Pennsylvania), or hoping her media can conceal those far-left policies from enough Americans to enable her to slither into the White House and implement them. Remember the “Gashouse Gang” of the 1930s in baseball?  Well, this is the “Gaslight Gang.”  After November 5, it won’t matter anymore.

Are the American people going to buy it?  Have the American people really become this obtuse?  I confess to being a bit of a cynic (no, a LOT of a cynic), and I think she can do it.  I’m not predicting here that she will win the election, but her strategy has worked for the last month.  She is already ahead in some of the polls.  Her media will “poll” a bounce for her from the Democratic National Convention, regardless of how much the pro-Palestinian terrorists tear up Chicago.   Trump will then appear to be playing catch-up.  All the media has to do is hide and lie and stretch out the honeymoon for a few more weeks. Not impossible at all.  Not with the current mob of government-educated Americans.

We all—myself included—would like to think more highly of the America people.   But, at least to me, that confidence has eroded in recent years.  How did an utterly immoral, incompetent ignoramus like Kamala Harris ever even get to the position where she could very possibly become President of the United States?   How did America degenerate so far into such a cesspool?  We see it everywhere in the country.  It’s happened.  It’s happening.  It hasn’t slowed down.  The “mainstream media” and Deep State are pushing it as hard as they can because there isn’t one ounce of decency, morality, or godliness in the whole lot.

Are the American people finally, this year, going to call a halt to it, put on the brakes, say “Enough!”?   And even if they do so, and elect Donald Trump, can this tidal wave of decadence ever be blocked and turned around, and the mess it has caused be cleaned up?  The Left isn’t going to stop; they are never going to stop.  This is a war, nothing short of it.  One side or the other is eventually going to win, and the loser will have to go underground and submit—or die in a civil war.  Spend ten years in China like I did and you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about.

I don’t want to be a doomsayer, but I do want to be realistic.  I ask again—are there enough decent people left, people who care, to save the country?

We’ll find out in a few weeks.
