Ezra Klein (he who?) Explains It All...

Kamala Harris Wants to Win 

The Democratic presidential nominee’s speech on Thursday night sought to persuade. 

By ‘The Ezra Klein Show’

======

You don't say, son... Whatever would the newspaper do without such probing insight like the fella interviewing his ... NYT newspaper editor here? /s.  

lol 

(The lady really want to win... you don't say?  Now there's a "scoop" only somebody as connected to the Dem establishment as Ez could provide... and then he concludes her performance was "persuasive", to him anyway... It will get dangerous when the powerful establishment news media journOlist activist class of reporters "conclude" joy won the election...)

ADDED:  I'm the one who called out lil Ez back in the day for linking without attribution to his then girlfriend, now wife (and mother of his children, a good lassie like that; quid pro quo and all ;) one of the rare females invited to join his white boy jew crew journOlism collusion group, breaking all the rules of the profession back in the day. 

(He's not a good student, nor a real reader remember, think "promoter" , never studied the craft even... Good at digital profits so the higher ups overlook the conflicts inherent in his softball interviews ...)* 

He started acknowledging the intimate personal relationship in print after that when linking to her professional expertise, while discussing economics and the American healthcare system (she's a Brit, nttawwt; at least she was back then before she met him ... )

*  With gatekeepers like these watching the door, is it any wonder the Dems were able to get away with propping up Biden in power as long as they did before the truth was undeniable anymore??  This brand of journOlism is not good for the country, I tell you, no matter who is profitting...

Sounds like Irresponsible Gun Running to Me...

Our country, the U.S., provided guns for defense, not for Netanyahu or Zelensky to gain territory for either Israel or Ukraine...  

How much will we sacrifice here at home for attacking these countries' civilians mercilessly with our weapons? 

If we war on others, the world will war back on us.  OUR civilians.  Duh. Turnabout is fairplay.  No crying in wartime, friends...  #Parity

Remember how vulnerable the US was on 9/11? "Mind Yo Own Business" is good advice internationally as  well as in small towns, and every good gangsta knows you don't sell guns to street soldiers unless you know who they will be used on... Most of them are smart enough to do it quietly too, so the sale isn't traced back to the seller, who would then be implicated in said crime(s)...

Food for thought?   

As Ukraine Pushes Into Russia, Its Next Steps Are Unclear

American officials are not convinced that Ukraine intends to hold its position in Russia long term.

On Gaza, Harris Successfully Threaded the Needle

They are totally in the tank for the Dems at the NYT.  
It's all activism journalism now, puzzles and games under Brown educated AG. (not a journalism major... clearly never took a j- school ethics class; his family owned the paper.)  nttawwt. lol.*
Good for profits; bad for our nation that used to rely on neutral reporting... Que Sera.
==========
* This is my favorite advocacy hire of his thus far:

"Stephens said that one of the reasons he left The Wall Street Journal for The Jerusalem Post was that he believed that Western media was getting Israel's story wrong.^[17] "I do not think Israel is the aggressor here", he said. "Insofar as getting the story right helps Israel, I guess you could say I'm trying to help Israel."

even more biased than journOlist Ezra Klein and his hand picked crew are

...  
Klein is Jewish and was raised in California. Klein attended University High School, where he was a poor student and graduated in 2002 with a 2.2 GPA. Klein attended the University of California, Santa Cruz for two years before transferring to the University of California, Los Angeles, from which he graduated in 2005 with a BA in political science. 

While at UCSC, he applied to write for City on a Hill Press but was rejected. He said school was never a great fit for him academically or socially... 

In February 2007, Klein created a Google Groups forum called "JournoList" for discussing politics and the news media. The forum's membership was controlled by Klein and limited to "several hundred left-leaning bloggers, political reporters, magazine writers, policy wonks and academics"  

"Again and again, we discovered members of Journolist working to coordinate talking points on behalf of Democratic politicians, principally Barack Obama. That is not journalism, and those who engage in it are not journalists. They should stop pretending to be. The news organizations they work for should stop pretending, too. ... I've been in journalism my entire adult life, and have often defended it against fellow conservatives who claim the news business is fundamentally corrupt. It's harder to make that defense now. It will be easier when honest (and, yes, liberal) journalists denounce what happened on Journolist as wrong."  Tucker Carlson. 

 Fred Barnes, executive editor of The Weekly Standard, discussed JournoList saying, "... hundreds of journalists have gotten together, on an online listserv called JournoList, to promote liberalism and liberal politicians at the expense of traditional journalism."

Not very diverse, these guys, to be honest... (coincidentally, I am sure.)  

There's lots of demographics these young wunderkins have in common, privileged ones even, as they "individually" (and on their own skilled trades merits I am sure... /s) scaled the heights of their profession, writing the new rules in this digital age, making money all the way, but leaving the news in this country only half reported really, as they continue to divide up Americans  with their own half truths...

Things that make you go, Hmmm...

Not the Wars. She, Like Biden, Is Too Timid To Challenge Bibi...

It might cost her. No everybody can ignore child carnage like our mainstream media, cheering the Dem today... Plus Frank is a "scholar" too. lol.  "I'm a double dipper, a dip dip dipper..."

Kamala Harris Just Showed She Knows How to Win

Just Because You Can Throw An Awesome Pep Rally

 ... doesn't mean you have the players on the field with the skills to win the game.  We'd like to see more past plays that worked and helped the TEAM win together, and hear more about the game plan for the next four.  

Housing/ Immigration and Workers' Rights/ Economic Inequality/ Housing/ Housing/Housing

WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR

Stop with the cheering and all the football metaphors?  Joe and Kamala are in power now.  What have you done for the voters lately?  How many houses will you have before other people working and raising families are all guaranteed shelter in this country, not arrests?

You took too much, some of you.  It's not hard work and hope; you cheat to get where you are. Not everybody does.  Doubling Down is one thing; Going for Broke and betting the house is another...

Good luck to all. Wait and see if the Dems deliver for the team, or if they figure their work is done the day after election day, with their only goal to "win" for themselves, but not the team.  Give it a few more weeks; I suspect Tim Walz might be grating on you if it's all about him, and not about the work still waiting to be done, with a Democratic president already in office...

What's gonna #Change?

Israel Wises Up: Netanyahu Is Not On Their Side, he is a golden calf

and all the weapons in the world cannot protect them from his evil acts: 

 "This week, we've been going from one funeral to another. This could have been avoided. All those who are buried now could have come back alive, and the fact that they are buried here, is not enough to comfort us."

Many who came to pay their respects to the dead Israeli hostages on Wednesday lamented the fact that months of negotiations have yet to yield a deal releasing the rest.

 "We were promised efforts to reach an agreement," said Nissan Kalderon, 56, whose brother Ofer Kalderon, a French-Israeli, is still held captive in Gaza.  "We really hope that the agreement will be concluded immediately, so that we can save those who are still alive and bring back the dead to bury them, because every day that passes, they die. This is the proof," said Kalderon, wearing a T-shirt with his brother's photograph. 

Nir Oz resident Adriana Adar, whose nephew Tamir Adar's body is still in Gaza, said she felt "despair" above anything else. "I haven't stopped crying for days," she said.

The nice thing about having Tim Walz on the ticket is the speech

 he is capable of giving after the team loses a big game and the season ends.  He will be able to better talk the ladies off the edge than when Hillary lost after thinking she had the election in the bag.

Everybody knows:  it's all just talk. Electing Kamala will not bring abortion rights back, and it looks like nobody in power will be challenging Bibi Netanyahu anytime soon.  He thinks he's got our politicians captured.

I don't think younger Americans like that much...

An overly emotional teenage boy sobbing as his father publicly acknowledges that he loves him...

 ... says a lot about where the Democratic party is today regarding the village supporting and raising the families in this country.  Tim Walz is a great dad, I am sure, but not everybody is an emotional child who doesn't already know he is loved and never feels the need to shout to others, "That's My Dad!" because we've been secure in who our father is and that he indeed loves us since... forever.

I wish the politicians would deliver something of substance on the job they will do if they get in.  Since Obama it seems, the job has simply been campaigning and getting elected.  But nothing changes and the status quo that rewards the wealth, the connected and the celebrities is strong in America today, while so many of the hard workers who indeed deliver the good and services needed to sustain the globe trotting lifestyles of others go unnoticed...

I sure hope we have more economic equality in days to come, and less people gaming the system to grab for their own.

 It's a shame the NYT did not send this woman to Chicago to balance their pro Democrat coverage.  She is worldly, and can see what is happening.  Dowd et al do not. They are so in the tank for Team Pelosi they have once again lost touch with the country.

The carnage in Gaza, and the U.S. role in it, matters. It will matter to history — more than any of the political manoeuvres currently eclipsing it on the U.S. news — and it matters to many more American voters than is generally acknowledged. A wise politician would know that.

Update: Uncommitted leader Abbas Alawieh says they’ve received new word from the Harris camp, which is aware of the sitdown demonstration. Harris campaign’s message: “A speaker is not happening would something else work. Would you be open to a private meeting?”
