Sometimes someone has something to say that just encapsulates things nicely.

The 2024 election in one response….

The same could be said about EV charging stations.

First, my perspective for new readers.  I generally support private sector labor unions. I did not always support them.  I do not support public sector unions, nor the leadership of most labor unions in general who politicize their activity.  In our modern era, the baseline for organized labor to support the interests of their blue-collar workforce is valid.

Against the backdrop of the larger geopolitical dynamic, I would make the case that, similar to the solidarity movement of the mid 1980’s, organizing the general workforce is going to be the last-resort backstop measure to block ideological western government and corporate intentions.

Populism, nationalism and MAGA specifically, needs a unity alliance with organized private sector labor.

I also believe President Trump sees the looming importance of this relationship as made visible by his support for the Teamsters union during the RNC convention.

Consider what we witnessed and endured with the forced worker vaccination programs of 2021.  I do not like the idea of politicized labor but contemplate how organized labor could have been used to pushback against the diminishment of liberty. There is a potential for value; thus, I evaluate organized apolitical labor as a potential pragmatic ally.

That said, let us discuss the looming strike by The International Longshoreman’s Association, which represents 50,000 East and Gulf Coast dockworkers.

There are a lot of economic impacts that can be created by a dockworker strike; they range from inconvenient to severe depending on the industry and sector therein.  With the U.S. manufacturing base diminished, imported goods now represent the system to deliver essential products into our nation.

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement data shows that amid the illegal aliens Biden and Harris have let into the country, among those not in ICE detention, there are 425,431 convicted criminals and 222,141 with pending criminal charges.

Within those numbers, 62,231 convicted of assault, 14,301 convicted of burglary, 56,533 with drug convictions and 13,099 convicted of homicide. An additional 2,521 have kidnapping convictions and 15,811 have sexual assault convictions.  There are an additional 1,845 with pending homicide charges, 42,915 with assault charges, 3,266 with burglary charges and 4,250 with assault charges. {LINK}

That’s the context for the most transparently political game of policy reversal in modern history.  After years of advocating for open borders, pushing policies that have led to tens of millions of illegal aliens, and denouncing efforts to keep the border secure, Kamala Harris has the nerve to travel to the southern border and pretend she cares about border security.

US Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris visits the border town of Douglas, AZ Friday while apparently wearing a $62,000 Tiffany & Co. necklace. [VIDEO LINK] 

New York Post – […] It was her first visit to the beleaguered southern border since a 2021 visit to El Paso, Texas, four months after President Biden named her border czar.

She called out her rival, GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump for “fanning the flames of fear and division” over immigration, while Trump slammed Harris as “totally incompetent” after news broke of federal data released the same day showing more than 15,000 illegal immigrants currently living in the US are convicted or accused of homicide.

As remarkable as it sounds, the Kamala Harris hypocrisy on the border issue was even too much for CNN.

♦ The Primanti Brothers restaurant chain is apparently owned and operated by hardcore left-wing activists.  [Details on Restaurant Here]

About a month ago, it was reported in the Daily Mail the restaurant chain kicked out all of the regular dining patrons so they could stage actors as a campaign event for Kamals Harris in the Pittsburgh area.

The Harris campaign bussed in the press pool and a group of campaign supporters, essentially actors, to stage a photo shoot meet and greet and manufacture the appearance of support for Kamals Harris.

The August event was presented as “ordinary diners,” but was in fact a group of Harris campaign workers.  Essentially this was typical astroturf sold as organic or authentic campaigning; it wasn’t.  Everything around Kamala Harris is fake, manufactured and astroturf performance.

Staff at the restaurant told patrons they would have to leave at 4:00pm due to a ‘private event’ which turned out to be a campaign stop for Kamala Harris.

♦ In a remarkable contrast, today the same restaurant chain blocked republican VP nominee JD Vance from entering the building and campaigning.

A video taken by a diner within Primanti Brothers was posted on Twitter and quickly went viral.  Apparently, most of the people inside the establishment immediately cancelled their orders as soon as they realized what was happening,

The barred JD Vance was undeterred and remained outside the building to thank people as they left.  The video shows JD Vance telling those who were outraged that he paid for cancelled meals, left a tip and reminded the operator of the restaurant of the “no tax on tips” pledge from the campaign.

In an almost identical replay to the 2016 election, Attorney General Merrick Garland held a press conference today to note the indictment of three Iranian suspects for hacking the Trump campaign and attempting to influence the 2024 election outcome.  [37-page-indictment pdf Here]

In 2016 the identified influence agents were from the nation of Russia. In 2024 the identified influence agents, Masoud Jalili, Seyyed Ali Aghamiri and Yasar Balaghi, are from the nation of Iran. All other aspects seemingly remain identical.

According to CBS, “The three defendants — identified in the indictment as Masoud Jalili, Seyyed Ali Aghamiri and Yasar Balaghi — are all members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Prosecutors said they executed a “wide-ranging hacking campaign that used spearphishing and social engineering techniques to target and compromise the accounts of current and former U.S. government officials, members of the media, nongovernmental organizations, and individuals associated with U.S. political campaigns.” (more)

This is an interesting and curiously unmentioned diplomatic contrast.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer had a two-hour dinner with President Donald Trump after the U.K leader delivered a speech to the United Nations in New York.  However, intentionally unnoticed by U.S. media, the Prime Minister immediately left the U.S. following the lengthy meeting with President Trump, and never met with Kamala Harris.

The extensive discussion and dinner took place in New York, apparently at Trump Tower.  There is an aspect of typical British worry woven throughout British media reporting on the meeting because U.K. Foreign Secretary David Lammy, also attended the meeting.  Lammy once called President Trump a “woman-hating, neo-Nazi sympathizing sociopath.”

Undoubtably, when the priority of the dinner is overlaid with the U.K position on Ukraine; keep in mind a meeting with Zelenskyy followed the next morning; PM Starmer appears a little worried.  There is a massive amount of geopolitical embarrassment possible right around the corner when, not if, President Trump wins – and the position of the British govt toward Ukraine leaves them dancing alone when the music stops.

CONTEXT: Chairman Xi is big geopolitically, driven mostly by his economic position.  President Putin has become bigger geopolitically as a result of his smart post-sanction moves, in combination with his increasing economic position.  Heck, even Mohammed Bin Salmon (Saudi Arabia) and Narendra Modi (India) are now big in a world of stupidly applied Bidenomics. However, when you consider the dynamic of actually using economic leverage as THE truest aspect of geopolitical power, President Trump is GODZILLA.

Starmer and the rest, eh, lol. 😂  Prime Minister Keir Starmer meeting with President Trump is what might be called, ‘risk mitigation‘.  And people were wondering why Ric Grenell was present beside Donald Trump for the past few days.  lolol…  {{¹Hint}}

In a heavily coordinated and strategic political visit to Pennsylvania, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky was essentially campaigning for Kamala Harris and a continuation of the Biden foreign policy which provides billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to Ukraine. [AP Article Here]

Any non-pretending political pundit can see the transparency of the Zelensky visit to an ammunition factory in Pennsylvania when timed in context against the 2024 presidential campaign, with an overlay of Zelensky’s comments about how a Trump-Vance victory would be detrimental to the interests of the Ukranian government.

Interview With Zelenskyy:

QUESTION: […] During the Presidential debate, moderators asked Trump whether he wanted Ukraine to win against Russia, and he sidestepped the question. He just said, “I want the war to stop.” It must have troubled you to hear his answer and to consider the prospect of his winning.

ZELENSKYY: Trump makes political statements in his election campaign. He says he wants the war to stop. Well, we do, too. This phrase and desire, they unite the world; everyone shares them. But here’s the scary question: Who will shoulder the costs of stopping the war? Some might say that the Minsk Agreements either stopped or froze the fighting at some point. But they also gave the Russians a chance to arm themselves even better, and to strengthen their fake claim over our territories they occupied.

President Trump heads to the Keystone state today for a rally in Indiana, Pennsylvania.  The anticipated start time is 7:00pm ET with livestream links below.

Pennsylvania is the key to electoral victory for both Barack Obama (represented by Kamala Harris) and President Trump.  If Trump maintains all prior states and reconnects with Pennsylvania, he wins.  If Obama loses Pennsylvania, he needs to position Kamala to win Georgia and North Carolina as an offset.  Pennsylvania is the epicenter of the battle this year.  James Clyburn has been positioning Philadelphia and Pittsburgh ballot scanning operations, but a few dedicated allies in the state have been working earnestly to disrupt their plans.

Everyone is just waiting to vote now; that’s the rub of it.  That’s the core and basic message that keeps repeating from inside the signal.  Everyone has made up their mind, there are no more undecideds; we are all just waiting to vote now. Everything else is just, well, noise.

[…] “surveys point to just a slight Harris bump, with national polls showing the Democrat’s lead has grown by about 1 percentage point since the day of the debate — even including national polls from NBC News and CBS News on Sunday giving Harris a mid-single-digit lead.”…  ~Politico

The 2016 and 2020 MSM narrative engineering polls were wrong by an average margin of 8 points.

According to the underlying data of most polls, affluent, college indoctrinated, white women between 30 and 50-years-old are the strongest Kamala Harris supporters.

I would strongly encourage all men married to this demographic to stop accepting emasculation, set down the purses, stop drinking nut milks and counteract Karen’s vote.  It’s ok, you don’t have to tell anyone.  Glance over to the power tools section and we’ll give you a ‘sup nod of support.
