US Politics | June 2024 #2

The Democracies autocrats – are not in tune with their people. Take all the big issues from immigration, climate change, and wars , we the people have different opinions. So how is it the US democratic President touts the “Save Democracy” when he means whatever we do is for the People, or is it for the hegemon , as dictated by the special interest?

In theories of imperialism , the hegemonic order dictates the internal politics and the societal character of the subordinate states that constitute the hegemonic sphere of influence , either by an internal, sponsored government or by an external, installed government. The term hegemonism denoted the geopolitical and the cultural predominance of one country over other countries, e.g., the hegemony of the Great Powers established with European colonialism in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. [6] In International Relations theories, hegemony is distinguished from empire as ruling only external but not internal affairs of other states. [7]

The first Presidential debate is coming up, and while one of the candidates is campaigning, the other is hunkered down and getting a prep like for the State of the Union. Expect Joe Biden to focus on one-liner punch points, rather than his accomplishments. Expect CNN to protect the President, as the Media outlet for the Democratic Party and the President, and certainly the pundits will declare Biden the Winner, even if he falls asleep. Only about 5% of the voters will tune in, so the press can still be the decider. More here next time.

Hunters Laptop is real, during the Gun trial we have learned. Has anyone among the MSNBC’ or CNN’ or the high-level CIA and FBI leaders apologized for misleading in the 2020 election? Seems to me a high-profile case of election interference, the same as the real Russian Hoax, and as damaging to democracy as Jan 6. However, the liberal press still discounts its content and importance, while in the Hunter verdict the laptop was evidence. Born Liars?

But Democrats including the President and his son challenge the authenticity of the contents on the laptop as it may have been hacked and there is no clear chain of custody.

Hunter Biden's computer, known as "The Laptop from Hell," was discovered right before the presidential election in 2020.

On the stand, FBI agent Erika Jensen confirmed the authenticity of the laptop, along with evidence from Biden’s computer data and excerpts from a memoir he wrote about his addiction battles.

How influential is Biden's Cabinet? Perhaps not much as the NYT reveals , he is dependent on 3 people, here some more details. Check out their Family and political connections, interesting the Black Rock Family in Mike Donilon case,

Mike Donilon - Biden administration [ edit ]

As his longtime advisor, Mike Donilon held significant influence over Joe Biden's successful 2020 campaign for president. [14] He helped develop Biden's campaign strategy that had a three-pronged message: "that the election was about the 'soul of the nation'; that the threatened middle class was the 'backbone of the nation'; and that what was most needed was to 'unify the nation.' Only Biden could restore the nation's soul, repair its backbone, and unify it." [14] "This is really about character and values as opposed to issues and ideology," said Mike Donilon, Biden's chief strategist, when speaking to the New York Times. [15]

In November 2020, Donilon was named Senior Advisor to the President. [16] [17]

Donilon's brothers are BlackRock Investment Institute chair Tom Donilon , who was chief of staff in former President Bill Clinton 's State Department and is a former National security adviser to Barack Obama , [18] [19] [20] and Terry Donilon, Communications Director for Cardinal Seán Patrick O'Malley of the Archdiocese of Boston. [21] His sister-in-law is Catherine M. Russell.

Mr. Ron Klein, a legacy democratic left-wing advocate.

Ronald Alan Klain (/ˈkleɪn/ KLAYN ; born August 8, 1961) [1] is an American attorney, political consultant, and former lobbyist who served as White House chief of staff under President Joe Biden from 2021 to 2023.

A Democrat , Klain previously served as chief of staff to two vice presidents: Al Gore from 1995 to 1999 and Biden from 2009 to 2011. He was also appointed by President Barack Obama as White House Ebola Response Coordinator after the appearance of Ebola virus cases in the United States , serving from 2014 to 2015. [2]

Throughout 2020 he worked as a senior advisor to Biden's presidential campaign. [3] [4] Following his victory, Biden announced on November 12 that Klain would serve as White House chief of staff. [5] [6] During his tenure as chief of staff, Klain was often characterized as a key ally of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party within the White House. [7] [8] [9]

In January 2023, Klain announced his plans to step down as chief of staff in the weeks after Biden's State of the Union address in February. [10] [11] He was succeeded in the role by Jeff Zients on February 7. [11]

And then there is Ted Kaufman , in the deal since the start? Certainly, he has all the details to navigate. And why the progressives like him.

A former U.S. senator and longtime political confidante of President Biden openly acknowledged that the Department of Justice was "full of Biden people" during the Obama presidency, sparking criticism from skeptics as Biden's DOJ continues to fight questions about its impartiality in high-profile investigations.

"The Justice Department is full of Biden people!" Former Delaware Democratic Sen. Ted Kaufman said in a 2012 "Oral History" Senate interview reviewed by Fox News Digital in response to a question about Biden's input on cabinet positions.

"I mean full of Biden people. If you want a list of where Biden people are, there are a whole bunch of people in the Justice Department, and a whole bunch of them in our foreign policy establishment, and a whole bunch of them in the White House, OMB, and places like that."

Wondering where the most diversified and colored administration has input, perhaps none, they all run their own show and Mr. Biden is the Prompter? Otherwise, we would not have a Border Crisis, Wars, an Economy that looks good on Paper and Stimulus (support Money) and a Party that clings to abortion and opponent bashing.

The return to Peace through strength can never be achieved with the current President, Joe Biden. But to return to peace through strength you need a President who is not a puppet of the War Mongers and has enough common sense to understand the World and challenges the Military Elites in their judgment, not to think in bullets but people. Look at the past and if you think the future should be without Wars, your vote can only be for one person.

And Trump was a peacemaker—a fact obscured by false portrayals of him but perfectly clear when one looks at the record. Just in the final 16 months of his administration, the United States facilitated the Abraham Accords , bringing peace to Israel and three of its neighbors in the Middle East plus Sudan; Serbia and Kosovo agreed to U.S.-brokered economic normalization; Washington successfully pushed Egypt and key Gulf states to settle their rift with Qatar and end their blockade of the emirate; and the United States entered into an agreement with the Taliban that prevented any American combat deaths in Afghanistan for nearly the entire final year of the Trump administration.

Trump was determined to avoid new wars and endless counterinsurgency operations, and his presidency was the first since that of Jimmy Carter in which the United States did not enter a new war or expand an existing conflict. Trump also ended one war with a rare U.S. victory, wiping out the Islamic State (also known as ISIS) as an organized military force and eliminating its leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

But unlike during Carter’s term, under Trump, U.S. adversaries did not exploit Americans’ preference for peace. In the Trump years, Russia did not press further forward after its 2014 invasion of Ukraine, Iran did not dare to directly attack Israel, and North Korea stopped testing nuclear weapons after a combination of diplomatic outreach and a U.S. military show of force. And although China maintained an aggressive posture during Trump’s time in office, its leadership surely noted Trump’s determination to enforce redlines when, for example, he ordered a limited but effective air attack on Syria in 2017, after Bashar al-Assad’s regime used chemical weapons against its own people.

The Trump derangement syndrome, or TDS. When psychologists in 2019 signed a letter to have then-President Trump tested, little did they care about then-candidate Biden. So, the syndrome did its best and was fueled, deflecting the people from the issue but basically making them recipients of the syndrome, speak propaganda and media manipulation. A person identified with TDS is certainly Robert De Niro but ask yourself if he would qualify for any public office, or he better suited for the Clowney Clan , collecting millions and worship Biden , what you can also define as Hollywood Cult. That Entrepreneurs the likes of Reid Hoffman have TDS openly, or Zuckerberg in the hidden, is more troubling as leaders of social media and the free press. But what do this people have to worry, no syndrome here, they all own probably as much property around the world as the 50 million bottom Feeders here in the US, but for Biden, that is all good middle class?

What a President would Kamala Harris be in case she moves up? An Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders socialist, a Barrack Obama copy or a person living the dream of immigrants, walk into the country we will give you a passport and a couple thousand bucks to make it and screw the Americans, especially the privileged and we certainly will fight for abortion up to birth, that is an existential right? And we will transform Men to Women and vice versa, on an as needed base as everyone has the right to live his full potential and health care will certainly pay for it. Wars are a necessity to eliminate the people on the planet not agreeing with a woke agenda, while we certainly welcome a Caliphate state in the US as a means of diversity. Note in the speech, not much about the fact of opportunities, but lots of grievances and underlining hate or was she just appeasing the audience?

And so, you know, many of you know a bit about my background. You know that my parents met while they were active in the Civil Rights Movement. And so, when I was young, they would take me to marches in a stroller. And from a very young age, then, I learned that when people stand together, when we use our collective voice, when we stand in solidarity, we can drive extraordinary change, because it is we who stand together as the collective who have the power and the ability to see what can be, unburdened by what has been.

And my entire career, like everyone here, I have been guided by a fundamental belief, then, in the power of the collective — a belief that has also, of course, guided the work of UNITE HERE from its earliest days.

So, for the press in the room, I’ll give you a little history lesson. More than a hundred years ago, in Lawrence, Massachusetts, tens of thousands of textile workers — many of them women — came together to demand fair pay and safer working conditions.

For months, in the cold New England winter, they stood together — workers of all backgrounds, including immigrants from Italy and Poland and Germany and dozens of other countries; many who did not speak English, but spoke the language of solidarity as they stood shoulder to shoulder. And all — (applause) — of course, all that is true today.

And that legacy is strong. And together, then, a hundred years ago, they fought. And together, they won.

And in the decades since, the workers of UNITE HERE have taken on some of the most powerful corporations in our nation, from Big Pharma to the hedge funds, which took over casinos and put profits over workers. And you have won — you’ve won fair pay, better benefits, safer working conditions, and protection against discrimination and harassment.

And perhaps you understand, her Mom, she is a product of Berkley and perhaps unhappy immigrants, still working on a revolution through her daughter? It can only be seen as hypocritical that they were thankful to be Americans. They probably never noticed that the US freed itself from the Brits?

Kamala Harris ’ parents, Donald J. Harris and Dr. Shyamala Gopalan , came to the United States to pursue their dreams — but never envisioned a future where their daughter would one day become vice president.

Over 60 years ago, Donald and Shyamala arrived in Northern California to study at the University of California, Berkeley. They had grown up on opposite sides of the world — Donald in Jamaica and Shyamala in India — but crossed paths thanks to their shared interest in civil rights.

The pair first met in 1962 while attending a study group for Black students, and their connection was instant, according to The New York Times. Just a year later, they were married. The couple welcomed daughter Kamala in 1964, followed by daughter Maya in 1967.

Here a couple of links when you search for the Kamala Harris doctrine, nothing about a doctrine, but abortion , or this from Politico , but doctrine not really. And here the only result that comes up under the term accomplishments. All others are first black, first female, etc., in a color and genderless world they advocate. It’s a big decision to make, for some probably worth a gamble for the party's sake.

With such high stakes, "Biden needs to make the case to his party — and, more important, to independents and moderate Republicans — why Harris is the best choice to succeed him," Thomas Friedman said in The New York Times. "At the same time, Harris has to make the case for herself, ideally by showing more forcefully what she can do."
