It’s August 22, do you know who your president is?

Joe Biden has been sent into exile, so he isn’t running the place and has not been for a long time.

I am going to start with the biggest news of the day, and it’s not Kamala giving an acceptance speech in Chicago. It is Robert F. Kennedy Jr. getting out of the race, a decision he will make official in Phoenix tomorrow.

It’s being widely reported that he will endorse President Trump, who will also be in the greater Phoenix area tomorrow.

Just when you thought it could not become any stranger—it takes yet another huge turn.

And that leads me to the idea that RFK will be offered a position in the cabinet—how about Secretary of Health and Human Services? I have thrown that out there before—what do you think about that idea?

Do you support individual military members being able to opt out of getting the COVID vaccine?

I will keep you informed on that score as it continues to unfold—but first, how about Dopes Talking Hope?

After Sleepy Joe, Crooked Hillary, Michelle, Barack, Bubba, and Tiny Tim Walz comes Lyin’ Kamala.

Regardless of what Harris says or how well she says it, regardless of what happens tonight, the speakers so far—most notably the Obamas on Tuesday night—deserve the last word. 

The fist-bumping rhetoric of Michelle and Barack Obama is a tell. The back-to-back speeches are an admission—a joint confession—concerning the hypocrisy of one and the insincerity of the other. 

The speeches tell us not only what the Obamas believe but what they feel. The speeches also tell us more than the Obamas want us to know about themselves. By describing a country that is unrecognizable to tens of millions of voters, the Obamas insult supporters of President Trump. By describing a nominee, Kamala Harris, whose candidacy is inconceivable to millions of Democrats, Republicans, and independents, the Obamas insult most Americans.

Do you remember anything Biden, the Clintons, or the Obamas said aside from orange man bad?

The only memorable thing about the speeches is how forgettable they are. The one thing, however, we must not forget is how divisive the speakers are. When the richest politicians in the Democrat Party tell us how to live, when they tell us to only take what they want us to have, when they tell us they are selfless and we are greedy, they mean it. 

When they speak with contempt toward us, when they act with contempt for us, they obviously don’t care what we believe. 
 
When Michelle Obama speaks down to us, when she speaks of people who take more than they need, when she invokes her late mother’s memory so she may lecture us, know that Michelle Obama excludes herself.  When she deigns to visit Chicago, when she is in town on business—that’s what politics in that city are—when she comes to the DNC to close a deal, she will say anything. Such is business in a Democrat-run monopoly like Chicago.

When Michelle Obama leaves one of her three mansions, she does so for a reason. No matter where she goes, whether she is on a $255 million superyacht with Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, or getting $750,000 for a single speech—she enriches herself. So please, Mrs. Obama, spare us your advice.

Spare us your fictions, too, because when the party you speak of looks nothing like the reality tens of millions of Americans know, your words lack the power of truth. Your truth is not the truth, because the America you describe is not and must never become the America you seem to want.

When you all but say President Trump is a racist and imply he feels threatened not because of your success but because of your race, you destroy whatever hope we have in your ability to speak or act with dignity.

Is it racist to disagree with you? 

Is it racist to vote for someone who disagrees with you? Is it racist to say you defame President Trump by suggesting he is racist?

Is it racist to ask why Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania is not on the ticket? Is it antisemitic to say Democrats would rather lose with Tim Walz than win with Shapiro? Is it wrong to say Democrats feel threatened by a successful governor who happens to be Jewish?

Not content to say the worst about President Trump, Michelle Obama says Kamala Harris is the best and one of the most qualified people ever to seek the office of the presidency. No one believes this.

Does anyone believe Tim Walz is the kind of person who should be in politics? For Barack Obama to say this is one thing, for us to believe it is something else. We don’t believe it because we know it’s not true. Nothing Walz has said, not last night or last month or last year, is memorable. Nothing Walz has done, for he has done nothing to improve Minnesota, is memorable in a positive way.

Barack Obama knows how unimpressive Walz is. Because the facts are against him, Obama must resort to fear. By saying President Trump only wants us to think that this country is hopelessly divided, Obama wants us to believe that the radicals in the streets of Chicago and the extremists marching in defense of Hamas are apostles of hope. 

Projection will not change the reality of a city.

Projection will not make an unqualified candidate, Kamala Harris, an unbeatable one.

Our hope is that we can make America great again.

Our hope is that we can elect President Trump.

Everything else, especially anything the Obamas or their surrogates say, is irrelevant.

Our unity trumps the divisive words of Democrat politicians. Our pursuit of victory unites us. Our victory shall continue to unite us and put America First!
