As proof, they pointed to a 1939 Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden, the participation of Tucker Carlson, who they say hosted a World War II revisionist on his podcast, Elon Musk, who they say permits anti-Semitism on X, and a comedian who joked that Latinos have a lot of children and Puerto Rico has a lot of trash.</p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;">But nothing about any of those things is racist, fascist, or anti-Semitic.

The Founders of this Country must be weeping in their graves.</p> <p>“Kamala Harris or Donald Trump—the empty pantsuit of elitism or the eternal master of disaster? We must pick one or the other on November 5.”</p> <p>Here is Gurri’s overview of the Democrats:</p> <blockquote><p>There are only two vital forces in American politics today: those who wish to control everything, and those who wish not to be controlled. The antagonists are roughly equal in number but vastly disproportionate in strength. True to its nature, one side controls virtually all the institutions that hedge the life of the voters. Also true to its nature, the other side spends most of the time fighting with itself.</p> <p>The forces of control own the White House, the Senate, the media, the universities, the mainstream churches, the federal and state bureaucracies, most corporations, most digital platforms, and the entirety of American culture. Homegrown control freaks can also rely on assistance from Control International, the cabal of like-minded elites that runs the United Nations, the European Union, and any number of nation-states from Britain to Brazil.</p> <p>Why the itch to control? Nietzsche would explain it as pure will to power, and that’s a perfectly adequate account. </p> <p>The Democratic Party is the party of control.</p></blockquote> <p>Excerpt re Harris:</p> <blockquote><p>So here is the most compelling reason I will be voting against Harris and the Democrats in November. I was born in Cuba.
