Alan Mosley<\/strong><\/a> and I had a hoot recapping the Great Biden-Harris Train Wreck<\/strong> of 2024 and the boundless arrogance of the Democratic Party bosses on his “It’s Too Late” podcast<\/strong><\/a>. We also bantered about what to expect from Trump, America’s foreign conflicts, and the controversy over Libertarian Party support for non-libertarians.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Here are a few outtakes from my comments:<\/p>\n

“There have been so many great comic touches in this election, like the top Kamala Harris campaign official who announced on MSNBC on Election Day that they were looking forward to INSTALL<\/strong> Kamala as president.<\/p>\n

“Watching Kamala Harris do an interview was like seeing an old Keystone cops silent film where you’re waiting to see if the cops hanging onto the ratty jalopy can beat the train engine racing down the tracks – or whether there will be an epic crash at the crossing. Is it going to splatter all to pieces this time?<\/p>\n

“Kamala radiated fear when she was being interviewed. She was the only person I ever saw who would consistently turn a softball pitch into a beanball that left her dazed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“Harris was so arrogant, she felt like she did not have to tell people how she planned to use the power she would have over them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Democrats lost in part because of their disdain for average Americans. A big issue around here in Maryland is that the schools have a right to secretly transition children, including teenagers, from one gender to another without telling their parents [with puberty blockers and other interventions]. I’ve talked to Uber drivers who came from abroad and this issue drives them wild – they are horrified at the thought of the schools taking their kid and persuading them to that they’re not a boy or not a girl. ‘Here’s some pills to take and this will make you authentic.’ The Uber drivers were just utterly confounded by this. There’s there’s a lot of contempt that the\u00a0 progressive Democrats have for people who work, people who don’t have a graduate degree, people who are not part of the part of the elite.<\/p>\n

“Harris offered voters the strangest trifecta in American presidential campaign\u00a0 history – joy, positive vibes, and ‘Trump is Hitler.’<\/strong><\/p>\n

“It was frustrating to see how the Biden administration sought to institutionalize voting fraud by denouncing anybody as a racist who\u00a0 would not sign off on ballot harvesting, ballot drop boxes, and mail-in voting with no verification, no identification.\u00a0 When did verifying ballots become an act of fascism<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

“The Biden-Harris censorship peril was real. So Brian Fallon, the press chief for Kamala Harris’s campaign,\u00a0 targeted me back in 2015, covertly pressuring USA Today to stop publishing my columns because I was beating up on Attorney General Eric Holder. And Fallon was the chief press spokesperson at the Justice Department at that point. Those folks felt they had the entitlement to silence their critics because it wasn’t a question of free speech, it was a question of misinformation. The same BS that you’re getting down in Brazil and other places, and this\u00a0 notion that the politician somehow became the High Priest of Truth. How did that BS ever get established?<\/p>\n

Alan asked me about the reports that Congressman Thomas Massie could become the Secretary of Agriculture.<\/p>\n

I replied that “being appointed Secretary of Agriculture is like giving somebody a ticket to float in a barrel over Niagara Falls.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Election season is a great time for cynics. A lot of people have the idea that they have to trust one or the other of the candidates. But And you shouldn’t trust either one of them. Instead, ask which one you can put a leash on. One benefit of Trump being president is that the media will probably finally become opposed to censorship.<\/p>\n

“I’m not excited about Trump’s promise to put a libertarian in his cabinet because I’ve seen so many appointees who were either bums or who who had no influence in presidential cabinets.\u00a0 Being in the cabinet could be like being invited to a White House dinner but being seated at Table #137 behind an awning in the next zip code over.<\/p>\n

Alan<\/strong> explained his passion on this election: “I don’t believe that Donald Trump represents me in any real sense. But I believe that Kamala Harris hates me and hates the things I stand for. And there is a difference between those two positions. Donald Trump doesn’t reflect my values. Kamala Harris hates my values.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
