{UAH} THE TWO FACES OF THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

The Two Faces Of The Democratic Convention

By Joel Skousen World Affairs Brief 8-21-20

Primetime coverage of the virtual Democratic Convention this week was unlike any political convention we have ever seen before. There were no differences of opinion, no factions, no debates, or competing egos jockeying for a place at the podium. Instead, what we got was a choreographed virtual convention presenting a suspicious united front in lock step with a singular message—that Donald Trump is the source of all evil, division and disunity in the country and that Joe Biden is the savior that can "bring us all together." Everyone who spoke was on message—none deviated. Each in turn attacked Trump relentlessly and praised Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as the Democratic dream team.  They even trotted out a group of Republican traitors like Gov. John Kasich to endorse Biden and condemn Trump. But what the public didn't get to see was the parade of radical Leftists, feminists, gays, and transgenders that got to air all their bizarre demands during the daytime convention time slot; opinions that would never had been allowed on stage in a real convention with cameras rolling. Apparently, the bi-polar Democratic leadership has two different faces—one of celebrities, like Barack and Michelle Obama and Hillary, extolling the nirvana that awaits us if we let the Democrats rule, and the other filled with weird, radical transgender voices foretelling that kind of hell awaits America if Democrats take power, which they don't want you to see. Words alone can't covey the embarrassingly uneducated radicals put on display during daytime hours at the convention, but fortunately Tucker Carlson compiled enough excerpts and wove it into his Fox News  monologue for all to see .  A prime example of what happens when the Democrats are in charge is what they have done to electric power in California—a model of green energy shortages and brownouts that will plague the entire country if they have their way, as  Daniel Harsanyi of National Review warns : Gotta say, it was bold of Democratic Party convention organizers to let voters know they plan on passing federal energy policies that would transform the rest of the country into California. The Golden State is experiencing rolling blackouts even as the Democrats speak. Millions of people are having their electrical power turned off in the middle of a heat wave — more specifically, their air conditioners. Blackouts aren't merely an inconvenience, it is an economic drag and dangerous to vulnerable populations. California doesn't have enough reliable power — which is to say fossil-fuel and nuclear energy – because it depends on intermittent sources like solar and windmills. California is what happens when quixotic political aspirations smother economic reality. I'm skeptical that most Americans – even Californians – will willingly roll back modernity for long. We'll see. California governor Gavin Newsom was forced to admit the state's "transition" away from fossil fuels was one of the contributing factors in rolling blackouts, so you can imagine how serious it is. For context, renewable energy is now responsible for approximately 36 percent of the state's energy generation, and it's already putting a tremendous strain on the state. It has to nearly double that number within a decade, and go 100 percent fossil-fuel free by 2045. Both Kamala Harris and Joe Biden support the Green New Deal, which calls for the elimination of all fossil fuels within a decade – not to mention cars and planes and entire industries. Biden's plan calling for "clean energy revolution and environmental justice" not only ostensibly relies on the Green New Deal, it promises to make the plan the "framework for meeting the climate challenges we face." That means "a 100 percent clean energy economy and net-zero emissions no later than 2050." GOP Traitors -  Four formerly high profile Republican leaders appeared at the Democratic convention on Monday night to  trash Donald Trump  and praise Joe Biden: Former Ohio Gov. John Kasich, claimed that Biden wouldn't "turn sharp left" if elected. How can he turn left, when he is already backing the full line of Leftist proposals? Kasich was joined by former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman, former New York Rep. Susan Molinari and Meg Whitman, who ran for governor of California.  Big League Politics noted  that RINO Republican and "never Trump" neocon Bill Kristol is advocating no debates between Trump and Biden. Kristol is carrying water for the Deep State who doesn't want Biden embarrassed by his mental senility on stage.  Kristol cited Biden's supposed record in office, having held elected office for more than forty years. He neglected to recognize a need for a debate that expressly focuses on the issues facing the nation at the present motion, including coronavirus, the economy, immigration, crime, and trade. Some Democrats and liberals have spoken of the presidential debates in increasingly cold terms, perhaps nervous that a 77-year old presidential candidate prone to questionable mental gaffes could appear unprepared for the rigors of the presidency while debating Donald Trump. The Trump campaign has already issued an ad showing clips of Biden's  erratic mental gaffes  and lapses. There are many more they didn't show because of time constraints, but clearly the Democratic establishment is out to protect Joe from himself. It was telling that Joe Biden couldn't face the cameras to defend his mental competency lest he make another gaff, so  his wife was trotted out to defend him ," as Zerohedge noted: Remember when the New York Times published an anonymous Op-Ed claiming that White House cabinet members were 'whispering' about removing President Trump by invoking the 25th amendment to claim that he's mentally unfit to hold office? Trump immediately hit back, slamming the 'failing' Times and their 'gutless' anonymous source. Joe Biden, meanwhile, can barely form sentences and recently snapped at a reporter for asking if I'd taken a cognitive test. It's gotten so bad that the Trump campaign made the  following ad : And how has Biden responded to claims that he's unfit to lead the country? By doing what all strong leaders do;  sending his wife on national TV to defend him ! On Wednesday, Jill Biden appeared on NBC's "Today," where she said that attacks on Joe's cognitive ability are "ridiculous," and that the question doesn't belong in the public forum. She says Joe is "on the phone every single minute of the day," and participating in Zoom calls, fundraisers and briefings. If Biden does debate Trump, it will be a virtual debate in front of cameras where it will be easy to feed him the questions beforehand and write his answers in advance so he can read them off the teleprompter.  It was telling that in Biden's acceptance speech after being nominated by the convention, instead of holding forth on what he would do as president, he took just 8 seconds to say thank you a couple of times and that was it. Clearly his handlers have told him to restrict what he says off script, where he makes his biggest gaffes.  Biden's failing intellect isn't the only thing the Deep State has to hide. Trump's campaign team is expected to showcase Biden's blackmail of Ukraine as well as the whole litany of Hunter Biden's hidden financial crimes. They may or may not make an issue of his sex crimes, but his most public accuser is not being silent, as  Zerohedge.com reported : According to the New York Post, Tara Reade thinks it's "unconscionable" that Clinton would appear [prime time at the Democratic convention]. "The Democratic National Committee has made it clear to survivors that they enable and they uphold institutionalized rape culture by allowing Bill Clinton to be a main speaker," Reade told the Post, adding "He has a history of sexual misconduct." "It is unconscionable that Bill Clinton is a main speaker, and this is coming from someone who voted for him. This is coming from a multi-generational Democrat." Reade said she believes Clinton is a sexual predator. "This is based on talking to two of the survivors and also the court documents that have now been released because of Ghislaine Maxwell." -New York Post Reade accused Biden of forcing her up against a wall...  [details censored]  in the spring or summer of 1993, after she was told to bring him a duffel bag. When she resisted his advances, she said Biden became annoyed and said "Aw, man. I heard you liked me."  And then there is Kamala Harris's baggage. Her family came from Jamaica and were slave owners. The Deep State debunking site,  Snopes.com  did a lengthy piece trying to debunk the claim as "unproven," but here is the real evidence,  provided by greatgameinda.com : Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris is descended from Irish slave owner Hamilton Brown, the namesake of Brown's Town in Jamaica, who recruited massive numbers of Irish migrants to Jamaica to work on his sugar plantations after the British empire abolished slavery. According to the Jamaican Family Search Hamilton Brown owned more than 100 slaves on several plantations: "Hamilton Brown owned several plantations over the years 1817 to about 1845. According to the 1818 Almanac which can be found on this site, (Jamaican Family Search), he was the owner of Minard (128 slaves) which he must have acquired from its previous owner (John Bailie) in 1815 or later. Personally, I don't believe a person should be held accountable for who they descended from, especially if centuries have passed, but given the Left's utter condemnation of every American statesman who ever held slaves, no matter what good they did, Harris should have to own up to her embarrassing heritage.  Of course, what is much more relevant that she isn't a "natural born" citizen according to the constitution's language, but that too is being buried or superficially explained away by the mainstream media. I covered this issue in  last week's brief .
