So now that fraudulent Biden takes the back seat, we replace his evil corrupt name with a woman named Harris who is as much an evil corrupt Democrat as Biden. Egads! Such insanity!

 

Before She Was Border Czar, Kamala Misappropriated Millions in Federal Grants Meant To Combat Border Crimes

DOJ audit from Harris's district attorney days suggests presumptive Dem nominee has long struggled with border issues

As district attorney for San Francisco, Kamala Harris misappropriated over $5 million in federal grants that were intended to combat border crimes, according to a 2010 Department of Justice audit.

Records show that Harris, while serving as chief prosecutor of the sanctuary city from 2004 to 2011, requested millions of dollars from the Department of Justice’s Southwest Border Prosecution Initiative. The program reimburses local prosecutors for handling "illegal immigration and drug and alien smuggling cases" referred to them by federal authorities.

But a DOJ inspector general audit report found that none of the cases that Harris’s office filed for reimbursement were eligible under the program. The city was forced to pay back the improper funding claims.

The report suggests that Harris has struggled to manage border crime issues dating back to the early days of her political career.

Harris, who serves as the point person for Biden’s migrant policies as vice president, has faced criticism from Republicans for failing to slow the surge in illegal immigration and border crime.

"I think she’s been consistent throughout her political career, whether she was D.A., a California attorney general, a senator," said Ira Mehlman, media director for the Federation for American Immigration Reform. "Her entire record was about not enforcing immigration laws, [and] making sure that the people who violate those laws are not prosecuted or removed in any way."

Jon Feere, a former Immigrations and Customs Enforcement official and investigator at the Center for Immigration Studies, said there has "not been any initiative by Kamala Harris, the border czar, to discourage illegal immigration or stop the fallout from open borders, going back to her time as district attorney."

"She doesn’t see a problem with victimization, and thinks that the policies are more important than any harm to American citizens," he said.

As district attorney, Harris championed San Francisco’s status as a "sanctuary city, a city of refuge," and vowed not to prosecute immigration offenses. But her office still raked in over $5 million in unlawful reimbursements from the federal program intended to address migrant-related crimes.

DOJ auditors said they noticed a "red flag" after Harris’s office requested significantly more reimbursements in 2006 from the program than any other local prosecutor in the United States, "despite being located about 500 miles north of the Southwest Border," according to a 2010 report issued by the DOJ inspector general.

Harris’s office claimed the money was repayment for handling illegal immigrant-linked drug cases that the U.S. Attorney’s office had referred to her agency for prosecution. But the inspector general investigation determined that none of the cases were eligible and they had not been referred to Harris by federal prosecutors.

"[A]ll of the cases for which San Francisco had received SWBPI funds were ineligible for reimbursement," said the audit, which blamed Harris’s staff and an outside contractor hired by her office for the failure. The contractor also worked for other California prosecutors who had filed ineligible claims, although those reimbursements were significantly lower than the amounts requested by Harris’s office.

The investigation found that Harris’s office, instead of submitting individual cases for reimbursement, had "submitted approximately 30 percent of its drug cases" for the funding, even though the "cases were not federally initiated."

The DOJ inspector general referred the results of the audit to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California. No criminal action appears to have been taken against Harris’s office or the contractor she hired.

The funding mishap wasn’t the only mark on Harris’s immigration record while serving as DA. She was also criticized for her "Back on Track" program, which provided job training in lieu of prison time to convicted felons—including those who were in the United States illegally. One "Back on Track" participant, Alexander Izaguirre, robbed and brutally assaulted a woman while in the program in 2009.

Harris and San Francisco’s sanctuary city policies also came under fire in 2008, after illegal immigrant Edwin Ramos gunned down a 49-year-old father and two sons in a road rage murder.

Ramos had previously been arrested for a gang assault and attempted robbery. He had been released by local authorities without being turned over to federal authorities for deportation.

 

One thing about progressive socialist Democrats - they stick together like glue. Even a Rino Republican takes their side, disgusting!

 

Harris receives endorsements from four border mayors in Arizona

By Annabella Rosciglione July 30, 2024 washingtonexaminer.com

Vice President Kamala Harris, now the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, has received critical endorsements from the mayors of some of the largest towns on the ArizonaMexico border.

The Harris campaign confirmed she was supported by mayors of Bisbee, Nogales, Somerton, and San Luis, Arizona, all of which are relatively big towns on the southern border. The news comes as Republicans and former President Donald Trump are trying to pin President Joe Biden’s border policies on Harris for her role in his administration as the “border czar.”

“I trust her to meet the needs of border cities and towns without taking advantage of us for her own political gain, like her opponent,” Somerton Mayor Gerardo Anaya said in a statement.

The border mayors do not have a political affiliation, but all represent blue-leaning cities. Anaya and San Luis Mayor Nieves Riedel are also backing Rep. Ruben Gallego’s (D-AZ) Senate bid.

On Monday, the Republican mayor of Mesa, Arizona, John Giles, endorsed Harris. In his endorsement, Giles evoked the late Sen. John McCain’s “country over party.”

“Arizona leaders like McCain and Sen. Mark Kelly have embodied the commitment to country over party,” Giles wrote in an op-ed published Monday in the Arizona Republic. “And it’s that same high caliber of character and leadership I see in Vice President Harris.” 

In her capacity as vice president, Harris was tasked with overseeing diplomatic efforts to mitigate problems in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras that resulted in migration to the United States.

Since launching his first presidential bid in 2015, Trump has put immigration and border security issues at the forefront of his campaign. The Republican presidential nominee’s campaign recently released an ad attacking Harris’s moves on the border.

“This is America’s Border Czar, and she has failed us,” the narrator in the ad says, concluding with “Kamala Harris. Failed. Weak. Dangerously liberal.”

The Democrat Party is the Greatest Threat to America

By Steve McCann www.americanthinker.com

The greatest threat to the survival of the United States as founded is not offshore but within its borders: the Democrat Party controlled by the Obama-led Marxist faction. Indicative of this dominance are the machinations surrounding the 2020 and the 2024 elections, which has brought this wing of the party to the final stages of achieving its long-term goal of transforming America into a one-party socialist oligarchy.

The American Left has long understood that in order to transform the United States, they would have to control one of two major political parties. The Left-leaning Democrat Party, thanks to the socialist sympathies of Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt, was the obvious target.

The turmoil of the 1960s allowed the Marxists to accelerate this process as they focused on brazenly infiltrating the higher-education establishment. By the 1990s they succeeded in dominating this vital societal institution and turning out legions of Marxist/socialist sympathizers to permeate the media and entertainment complex as well as their ultimate target -- the Democrat Party.

In 1994, just 25% of Democrats self-identified as liberal or very liberal (i.e. Marxist/socialist sympathizers). On the other hand, 50% identified as moderates, and 25% as conservatives. The Democrat Party prior to and into the early 2000s was dominated by the self-identified moderates.

However, the years between 2008 and 2018 saw an explosion in those identifying as liberal or very liberal. A major milestone was achieved in 2018. Over 51% of Democrats identified themselves as liberal or very liberal. (By 2022 that number had further increased to 54% and will, in all likelihood, exceed 60% by 2028).

This process began in 2008 when the American Marxists found their ideal stealth candidate, Barack Obama. Not only was he, beneath the façade of glibness, conviviality, and moderation, a fellow Marxist/socialist, but more importantly, Obama was able to exploit the decades of inculcated racial guilt among the populace.

Thus, the Marxist wing of the party effectively checkmated the entrenched party hierarchy who could not be seen opposing the election of the first Black president. Their preferred candidate, Hillary Clinton, was eventually cast aside as the party rallied around an unknown Barack Obama.

Upon the installation of the most radical administration in the history of the country, the Marxist/socialist wing of the party initiated the final stage of their grand strategy to take over the Democrat Party.

Revealingly, the victors were unabashedly shameless in their triumph. In their belief that the American Marxists and their fellow travelers were permanently ensconced in government, the Obama administration and their sycophants did not hesitate to aggressively infiltrate the party establishment.

Additionally, and for the same overall objective, Barack Obama and his henchmen deliberately fanned the flames of race and identity politics to further divide the citizenry and, using their Marxists foot soldiers, fomenting riots in a calculated Nazi-inspired tactic of further intimidating and marginalizing the “old guard” hierarchy of the party.

In 2016, despite the inroads the American Marxists had made within the party, the establishment still dominated the nominating process and backed Hillary Clinton once again. The Obama/Marxist wing of the party had no obvious candidate to support other than Bernie Sanders, who was perceived to be unelectable. However, comfortable in their newly established position as the dominate influencers within the party, they acquiesced to the establishment’s belief that Hillary was unbeatable in the general election.

However an unexpected thing happened on the way to the coronation, Donald Trump won. The American Marxist’s giddiness during the Obama years over implementing their plans for permanent hegemony in American politics was replaced with uncontrolled anger, pettiness, and an insatiable determination to exact revenge on those who dared deny them their birthright.

Donald Trump, together with all the factions that voted for him, as well as the conservative media, represented an existential threat to their grandiose plans for themselves. In a mindset shared with their now best friends, the party establishment, their mortal enemies must not only be annihilated by any means possible, but their ashes strewn across the desert regardless of the consequences to the nation as a whole.

By 2020 and after four years of futilely pursuing and persecuting Trump, the establishment’s hold on the party further waned while the Obama/Marxist influence was ascendant. But the establishment wing still marginally maintained the upper hand in the nominating process. Who would the party nominate to again take on Donald Trump? In a nondescript field, Bernie Sanders took the early lead in the primaries and panic again set in as the party hierarchy, including the Obama/Marxists, were convinced he could not defeat Trump.

It was the establishment wing of the party that effectively drafted a compromise with the Obama/Marxists to back an obviously mentally incapacitated Joe Biden to be the nominee. Both factions were convinced they could get him elected despite his obvious frailties by portraying him as a grandfatherly moderate and exploiting the Coronavirus lockdowns in order to keep him off the campaign trail while instituting mass mail-in voting, manipulating the voting laws of various states, and unleashing ballot harvesting and voter fraud.

Biden was acceptable to the Marxist wing as they, in particular Obama, were well aware of Biden’s lifelong mendacity, venality, and avarice that they could exploit to further their agenda. They further insisted a compliant Marxist true-believer be chosen as vice-president to protect their interests in the highly likely event Biden could not finish his term or run for re-election; Kamala Harris was the chosen one.

This same faction of the Democrat Party staffed virtually the entire Biden administration with their fellow-travelers. Their hold over Biden succeeded as he essentially did what he was told and promoted the entirety of the American Marxist agenda, including radicalizing the Federal Judiciary, marginalizing Congress, and weaponizing the Justice Department.

By the late spring of 2024, and despite the three-year effort of the Democrats and their ally, the legacy media, Biden’s accelerating frailties could no longer be obfuscated. The time had come to move Joe out of the race by telling him to debate Trump, have the American people see firsthand his mental and physical frailties, and then dispatch the legacy media to promote the necessity of his exiting the race.

Once the Republican convention was over and Trump was irretrievably their nominee, it was time to strike a deal with the Biden family syndicate in exchange for Joe walking away from the campaign and endorsing Kamala Harris. A deal which included future pardons, “other” considerations, and remaining in office until at least election day.

By waiting until the Republican convention was over also coronated Kamala Harris as the presumptive nominee; essentially making it impossible for another non-Obama/Marxist approved Democrat to make a run for the nomination at their convention.

It is now unarguable that the Obama/Marxist wing fully controls the party as the nominee will be Kamala Harris or, if she falters prior to the convention, another equally compliant candidate will be designated. There is no room in the party hierarchy for anyone not acceptable to this dominant faction.

In 2020, the Obama/Marxist wing thwarted the will of the people by initiating unprecedented voting fraud and manipulation in order to further their radical agenda by placing an easily blackmailable and addled Joe Biden in the White House.

In 2024, the Obama/Marxist wing thwarted the will of the people by stage-managing the nominating process and unilaterally choosing the Democrat nominee. All the while planning a reprise of the 2020 campaign of mendacity as well as massive voting fraud and manipulation.

After the ascendancy of Barack Obama to the presidency, the Marxist faction and, thus, the Democrat Party has increasingly and unabashedly adopted Nazi tactics to consolidate their power. Additionally, virulent antisemitism has become an ideological bedrock of the party.

America, this is today’s Democrat Party. It has become an existential threat to the survival of this nation as founded. The party and not just Kamala Harris, or whomever the Obama/Marxist wing designates, must be decisively defeated in 2024 if this nation is to endure.
