ADVICE FROM JON GABRIEL: Go and Vote and Then Forget About Politics: Our long experiment with “the personal is political” has borne poisoned fruit, and civic health requires we abandon it completely.

WAR ON THE CONSTITUTION: Even not voting, migrants give Democrats 14 more electoral votes. “The influx of millions of migrants has shifted political power in the nation to Democrats, even though they are not allowed to vote, according to a new analysis of the Electoral College and constitutional representation. While they may be considered noncitizens, illegal and legal migrants are counted by the census, and those numbers are used to shift congressional districts, which affect electoral votes, according to two new studies from the Center for Immigration Studies.”

Ms. Harris has proved to be ineffective and unqualified as a Vice President and she is currently asking for the American vote for the highest office in the land in a matter of days. We’ll get into that in just a moment but first, words from Kenneth Khachigian, from The Wall Street Journal:

Ms. Harris was unprepared to enter the rough and tumble of national politics and at the 11th hour relies on being propped up, as she has throughout her career, by patrons—Barack Obama, his operatives and a national media that is predominantly desperate to prevent Mr. Trump from re-entering office.
