Campaign Notes

Anyone recall how the media devoted substantial resources back in 2012 to investigate Mitt Romney’s prep school days, complete with tracking down classmates and school records? Apparently it wasn’t enough to report the massive scandal that Romney put a dog on the roof of his car once on a family trip. (Never mind literally killing someone with his bare hands when his private equity company upset someone’s health insurance.) No—the American electorate needed to know that as an adolescent prep schoolboy Romney had given a noogie to a classmate. The monster.

This is just one of countless examples of how the mainstream media will flyspeck any claim or part of a life story of a Republican, but are incurious about Democrats. Where is the investigative reporting into Kamala Harris’s time growing up in Canada? Her claim to owning a Glock pistol? Which model? What gun club has she fired it at? Has she ever had gun lessons, and if so, from whom? Can she show us a paper target indicating how good her aim is? We know the answer: guns are icky for the media, and they are not interested in finding out if this is a lie or mere exaggeration.

Then there’s her claim to have worked the french fry station at a McDonald’s. Which one? Where in Oakland? It makes sense that an old franchise would not keep old personnel records (even if the same location and same owner still exist). Why has the media not reported on anyone who can recall working with Kamala at McDonald’s? Trump is absolutely correct to assert that Kamala’s claim is a lie. And that’s why Trump’s McDonald’s appearance today is a perfect chef’s kiss to the phoniness of Harris.  You can tell it worked by the left’s hysterical reaction to it on social media today.

Meanwhile, I have figured out how Dems can keep Trump from the Oval Office if he wins on Nov. 5: Admit that he won the 2020 election after all, then invoke the 22nd Amendment (“No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice”), and voila!—Trump is ineligible!

Never mind that this would likely mean President J.D. Vance next January 20—that is, if somehow we overlook the fact that Trump was not the certified winner in 2020, which means he wasn’t “elected” a second time. Leftists never think things through that far. I’m just laying down a marker based on the left’s history of situational ethics. I’m sure some lefty law professor somewhere will think up this flyblown theory, and Lawrence Tribe and the New York Review of Books will credulously believe it.

Likewise in the unlikely event that Trump wins the popular vote but loses the electoral college, watch the left suddenly defend the wisdom of this constitutional feature. But the only way Harris could win the electoral college but lose the popular vote is through massive cheating in the seven swing states.
