Opinion, Politics

“I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth”—1 John 2:22 (NKJV)
Kamala Harris wouldn’t even be the Democrat nominee without the Democrat Party throwing away 14 million votes from Democrat primary voters who voted for President Joe Biden—yet she accused President Donald Trump in her acceptance speech of throwing away people’s votes.
Will Americans wake up to the truth? Or rather to the lies spoken by Kamala Harris? The 2024 General Election will determine the fate of the United States of America and both sides agree that it is the most important election facing this nation and the outcome will determine our future!
Interesting enough, the build-up on Day 4 (Aug. 22) of the Democrat National Convention at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois was spent on introducing Kamala Harris. Why would she need to be introduced? She has not given any interviews or appeared on the news media since her coup of stealing the Democrat party nomination for president from the unelectable Joe Biden.
We know that Harris talks circular—some have called it the “word salad” approach to public speaking unless she is in front of a teleprompter. Is this the Commander-In-Chief we want to elect as our 47th president?
Will President Trump’s third time running as the Republican nominee for president—bring redemption for the four years he was out of office? He was the 45th president from 2017 to 2021. Four presidents before him have unsuccessfully tried to make their way back to the Oval Office: Martin Van Buren (1844 and 1848), Millard Fillmore (1856), Ulysses S. Grant (1880), and Theodore Roosevelt (1912). Or will Trump be more like Grover Cleveland who is the only president to come back after being out of the White House for four years? Cleveland served as 22nd president (1885-1889) and as 24th president (1893-1897).
The second part of the Day 4 of the Democrat National Convention was more of the same from the first three nights—attack Donald J. Trump rather than outline the radical policy positions of Socialist Kamala Harris—who was ranked the most liberal Senator in America by GovTrack—left of Senators Bernie Sanders (VT) and Elizabeth Warren (MA).
The Monday theme of the DNC was “For the People.” Ironically that night was a hypocritical combination of “Dump Joy: We Love Joe” and “Kill Babies: Reproductive Rights.”
First night speakers included: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY), First Lady Jill Biden, Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Sen. Raphael Warnock (GA), New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, Kentucky Gov Andy Beshear, and President Joe Biden.
The next three nights of the Democrat National Convention had these themes:
- Tuesday: “A Bold Vision for America’s Future” where Trump was accused of believing the country’s best days are backward. Speakers included: Senator Bernie Sanders (VT), Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, former first lady Michelle Obama and President Barack Obama.
President Obama made a crude sexual joke about President Trump while speaking.
- Wednesday: “A Fight for Our Freedoms” focusing on talks by Gov. Josh Shapiro (PA), former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (CA), Governor Tim Walz (MN) and former President Bill Clinton.
Walz admitted Democrats were losing the election making a football analogy to say Democrats were down by three in the fourth quarter. He accepted the nomination for vice president this night.
- Thursday: “For Our Future” with speakers including radical government teacher union officials: Becky Pringle, president of the National Education Association and Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers as well as: Sen. Alex Padilla (CA), Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper and Vice President Kamala Harris (who accepted the nomination for president).
What lies did we hear on the last day of the convention?
- Gov. Whitmer: “She (Kamala) has lived a life like ours.”
Kamala’s mother, Shyamala Gopalan (a biologist from India), accepted a research position at the McGill University School of Medicine and she moved with her two daughters (Kamala and Maya) to Montreal, Quebec. Kamala Harris graduated from Westmount High School (one of Canada’s most elite academies in 1981).
- Gov. Cooper: “I witnessed Kamala and what I saw was a leader.”
This is the same Kamala that hides from the media and flip-flops on policy depending on her audience.
- Vice President Harris: “I hold for the rule of law.”
Unless it concerns Donald J. Trump when Kamala pushes for a two-tier system of justice—one that favors Democrats over Republicans.
- Vice President Harris: “In a second Trump term, he will lay out Project 2025.”
Project 2025 is not a Trump platform (for GOP 20 Promises to Make America Great Again go to a 1-page document:

https://democrats.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/FINAL-MASTER-PLATFORM.pdf
Project 2025 is a document of The Heritage Foundation and is not partisan, nor is it secret. It does not speak for any candidate or campaign, in any capacity.
- Vice President Harris: “I know the importance of safety and security at our borders…I believe in securing our border.”
Is this why we have had 11 million illegal immigrants cross our southern border?
- Vice President Harris: “I will always be for Israel’s right to defend itself…I will ensure Palestinian’s right to dignity and to self-determination.”
How are you going to do both of these at the same time?
Finally, during her acceptance speech, Harris referred to her Indian mother several times and just once to her Jamaican father. Yet, ironically, she calls herself Black (more than Asian)—which focuses on her identity politics. This more often than not divides Americans instead of “unites” as mentioned in her acceptance speech.
Ironically, the very accusations and lies that the Democrats toss at Republicans characterize their very own behavior. Let us remember that “no lie is of the truth.”
