Election Countdown: Bidenomics, Strikes, Union Power, and the Political Landscape of 2024"

Since her time as the 2020 leftist candidate and her years as Vice President, Kamala Harris has consistently aligned with leftist policies, voting along party lines without exception. Recently, however, she seems to be reinventing herself almost daily, offering new narratives. Now, she claims she never fully agreed with Biden and vows to unite the country with a capitalist economic plan, protect gun rights, and provide support for her voters. Her pitch is that she’s the most genuine candidate. Despite her history, she has recently presented herself as everything from a demagogue to a chameleon, from a Mother Teresa figure to a "hate spewer" according to some perspectives , yet lacks a coherent personal vision. Many believe she's been an ideal Democratic Party puppet, but with a week left before the election, she now distances herself from Biden, promising to create her own team and agenda. Will her new government aim to prosecute Trump and “silence the noise”?  

It’s almost comical to see Arnold Schwarzenegger backing Kamala. He wants to “end the chaos” of the past few years, seeming to forget recent history and instead showing a kinship with Harris’s partner, Doug Emhoff. While he brings his Hollywood experiences into his endorsement, Schwarzenegger’s support feels as questionable as Kamala’s most notorious speeches, more vinegar than substance.  

 

Consider the decision by Jeff Bezos to avoid endorsing any candidate. Some say journalism should remain neutral, yet publications like the NYT and WAPO are often accused of showing bias over substance. Perhaps, if they aim to influence voters, they should be open about their political stance rather than veiling opinions as objective reporting. So, after all the talk of accomplishments from the Biden-Harris administration, Kamala now pledges to “work with everyone,” whether they’re labeled “Nazi,” “fascist,” or “xenophobe,” if it serves her political goals. How far will she go to achieve unity, even suggesting conversion camps for dissenters?  

Recently, Harris has adopted a peace-oriented stance, echoing Trump’s policy of “bringing the hostages home.” However, critics argue that her timing is calculated and her understanding of international affairs lacking. Instead of prioritizing accountability in Iran, the administration has fueled tensions. Now, with countless lives lost, Harris seems to forget she was among the last decision-makers in the room. In Ukraine, critics predict a similar outcome: conflict resolution shaped not by diplomacy, but by a dwindling number of Ukrainian soldiers. The administration’s rhetoric fails to address these complex issues, focusing instead on selective agendas.

Lenin stated, "Women should have the right of deciding for themselves a fundamental issue of their lives." Russia was the first country to offer legal, cost-free pregnancy termination, showing an early model for women’s rights.  

In Lebanon, despite the U.S. donating $3 billion, Hezbollah holds significant influence. Harris’s policies reflect similar issues with foreign aid effectiveness.  

Harris, buoyed by billionaire backers, often contrasts her campaign with the everyday worker, yet her support base includes billionaires like Soros, Bloomberg, and Hoffman . These elite “moralists” seem to have more faith in government intervention than philanthropy. The irony is stark; while their influence is real, their presence in disasters, such as in Florida or North Carolina, is minimal. Is this commitment to democracy or self-interest? Maybe Trump has a shot after all , as “money can’t buy love,” only more lawyers.

When asking a Harris supporter for her platform, common responses include accusations against Trump but little explanation of her own vision. In contrast, entertainers like Beyoncé and Bruce Springsteen are rallying support, with Springsteen’s “Glory Days” fittingly reflective of the current administration’s focus.

Recent reports indicate health care costs have risen by 10% this year, with government solutions offering minimal relief. This approach mirrors the Harris-Biden health care strategy: price hikes followed by slight discounts marketed as “savings.” Americans are left with these so-called discounts as a temporary fix.

Jake Sullivan’s recent attempts at diplomacy face challenges as BRICS nations unite. Meanwhile, Western unity appears fragile, with critics accusing administration officials like Sullivan of creating more problems than solutions.

Left-wing media heavily scrutinizes Trump’s transition plans , yet Harris’s transition, too, raises questions. Should she win, would her administration feature Obama or Biden loyalists, or would she bring her own allies? Her ultimate direction remains unclear, potentially signaling a shift toward a “Kamala-first” administration.

 
If Vice President Kamala Harris wins the presidential election next week, her transition effort is poised for a rapid expansion.

Vice President Kamala Harris is relying on a small and intensely private transition operation to help her prepare for what would be the first transfer of power from a sitting president to his vice president in more than a quarter century.

As Harris campaigns, she oscillates between loyalty to Biden and asserting her independence. Internally, there’s speculation over which “Biden people” may stay versus “Harris people” entering key roles. For now, her team remains silent amid mounting expectations.

Regardless of the election outcome, many Americans who relocated to the South seeking lower costs and fewer regulations are realizing the problem might lie in governance, not geography. In any case, the country remains divided, and both ideology and freedom may continue to fuel this polarization.

Finally, 2024 has seen an increase in abortions despite claims otherwise as some claim otherwise . Likewise, assertions of “job creation” often lack factual grounding, underscoring the tendency to focus on rhetoric rather than results.

Government shutdown averted, but at what cost for the Democratic party ? Is the new generation of Democrats so ideological that it raises the question of renaming them "Dementor-crats," taking ideology to defy any logic . Their hatred for Elon Musk and Trump runs so deep that they end up contradicting themselves. There is no question that the budget deficit now requires immediate action —not more taxes that suppress overall spending, but policies that fuel economic growth and increase tax revenue. Immigration : With border crossings at near-zero levels , we now have an opportunity to implement a merit-based immigration system to attract the skilled labor needed to support reshoring efforts. While it may not reduce the overall number of immigrants, it would shift budgets—moving from dependency to immediate economic contribution. The skilled labor gap is a documented reality —there is no denying it. The Teachers Union continues to claim it's helping everyone, yet it’s failing to educate children. Anger over budget cuts distracts from years of waste, and most states arguably perform better. The U.S. education system is currently ranked #31 globally , yet—like many Democrats—the union blames everyone else for its failures. Despite ranking #1 in per-pupil spending , the system cannot deliver the diversity and choice families want. So, who are we listening to—parents or unions ?

Tariffs, Dogecoin, and the Popper Paradox: Navigating Trade, Tolerance and much more in 2025

Timothy Snyder is an American historian specializing in the history of Central and Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union, and the Holocaust. His most recent analysis displays that " Hate" is not a good advisor .  But if you checked the Democratic representation during the Joint session of Congress , their body language suggested otherwise. As long as the Democrats are represented by "Dinosaurs" like Sanders, Waters, and Pelosi, even their strongest strategists may face challenges. James Carville , who is often outspoken, is shifting in rhetoric. Meanwhile, even a well-placed analyst will not change the overall impression . Her family farm was part of Hygrade Meat Company, founded by her great-grandfather Samuel Slotkin, who emigrated from Minsk in 1900. Hygrade was the original company behind Ball Park Franks , now owned by Tyson Foods . Chris Murphy commented via MoveOn.org but offered no solutions. Mary Trump , a psychologist, has long been a staunch critic of her uncle, frequently warning of the risks he poses. She said she was traumatized by his 2016 election win, fearing that he was uniquely ill-qualified to govern in a crisis. Let's follow all legal challenges for now. The Supreme Court has addressed the USAID ruling . Ultimately, the government will need to navigate these legal hurdles. Imagine: The endgame could be avoiding a Russia–BRICS alliance and instead fostering a Russia–US alliance, which could change the landscape of global peace. Given Russia and China's vast rare earth reserves, integration could be more beneficial than conflict. Gaza remains a focal point, and time will tell how the situation evolves. If diplomatic efforts succeed, we may see meaningful negotiations unfold in the near future.

Is Zelensky now running the world ? It appears so after his historic tantrum at the White House. Or is he merely a figure acting on behalf of the EU, Kaja Kallas, and European leaders (France, UK, Germany) to secure a seat at the table for “peace negotiations”? - Most likely, he is maneuvering to ensure continued EU support, including troops, while hoping that the EU convinces the Boltons of the US to send reinforcements as well. - Unfortunately for him, the US halted its advance in Berlin in 1945. Some on both sides may still be unhappy with that outcome. - Had Churchill and a real army continued, they could have pushed the Soviets back then. Note: The longer this conflict drags on, the only real losers are Ukraine and Europe. It's time for the US to explore trade agreements with Russia and South America. Accessing Russia via Alaska or Greenland remains an option. Should Europe be left to the Romans ? A Swiss newspaper featured an image of Mr. Murphy, who went on CNN after the meeting to ridicule JD and the President for their failure. Is he a traitor?
