How quickly we went from “joy” and “vibes” to angry and desperate. Also dangerous.

Kamala Harris on Wednesday delivered remarks outside the vice president’s formal residence in Washington, and it was nothing short of appalling. Using an immediately discredited and very obviously campaign-coordinated article in The Atlantic from the previous day, plus a New York Times interview from a disgruntled former Trump administration official, she stated in her official capacity that her opponent is “increasingly unhinged and unstable.” She promised that in a second Trump term, he would be a president of “unchecked power,” adding that his behavior has shown him to be “deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous.”

Kamala stopped just short of officially declaring Trump an enemy of the state, though at the rate she and her allies in the national media are accelerating, it will be no surprise when she does. The entire shocking display was like watching a gambling addict down $25,000 in a single night and on his last chip, only to lose again. She has not a cent left to her name, and rent is due tomorrow.

It’s clear what Kamala’s campaign tried to do. It conspired with The New York Times and The Atlantic to simultaneously publish stories of microwaved lines — that Trump is Hitler, that he aspires to authoritarian heights of power, and that he harbors nothing but “disdain” for the U.S. military and the unfortunate. CNN ran coverage of the two articles all morning, and with the media happy to comply for

Democrats and the media cried foul on Republicans four years ago when Hunter Biden’s chronic drug use emerged in the spotlight as a campaign issue. The Democrats, however, had tried to exploit the alcoholic past of a senior Trump campaign official in the same election.

A chief spokesman for former President Donald Trump’s latest two presidential runs battled a severe alcohol addiction for nearly 30 years before finally remaining sober. He had almost been clean for four years by the time Democrats tried to weaponize his history with alcoholism to attack him.

In 2019, Tim Murtaugh, the newly named communications director for Trump’s 2020 reelection effort was faced with questions from reporters about a pair of previous DUI convictions that included jail time. Murtaugh detailed the attempted character assassination in his recent memoir, Swing Hard In Case You Hit It, comparing existence as an addict to his new life as a senior spokesman for a presidential campaign.

“We managed to fight them all off,” Muraugh wrote, “and I learned through my conversations with those reporters that my arrest record was being shopped around by a specific Democratic opposition research firm that typically looks into the backgrounds of Republican candidates for office.”

Murtaugh said the experience led him to develop “a strong aversion to attacking the staff of any campaign.”

“Naturally, a candidate is an appropriate target of criticism, and a staffer who says or does things that are germane to the campaign should be considered in bounds,” Murtaugh wrote. “But

Elon Musk’s X, formerly called Twitter, is one of the few outlets attempting to foster free speech, and a well-connected foreign leftist group has designated it a top target.

“Kill Musk’s Twitter” has been the top item written on the Center for Countering Digital Hate’s (CCDH’s) meeting agendas for months, according to internal documents publicly reported this week by reporters Paul D. Thacker and Matt Taibbi at The Disinformation Chronicle.

CCDH is a tax-exempt part of the global censorship-industrial complex that works to quell free speech, primarily through hiding facts that are inconvenient for leftists, such as that men and women are different and pharmaceuticals have side effects. It also has connections to the Kamala Harris campaign.

Not one to sit quietly, Musk responded Tuesday with a three-word post: “This is war.”

CCDH was founded by Imran Ahmed and Morgan McSweeney, both British Labour Party political strategists. In 2020, CCDH sought to strip Google ad revenue from The Federalist over editor John Daniel Davidson’s article, “The Media Are Lying To You About Everything, Including The Riots,” which calls out dishonest coverage of the 2020 George Floyd riots from legacy media including the New York Times and CNN.

McSweeney attended the Democrat National Convention and has been advising the Harris campaign. Imran has worked with U.S. media to create a narrative about Harris as a victim of mean social media posts, and his stories are picked up by friendly reporters.

McSweeney also founded Labour Together, a leftist U.K. think
