RUTHFULLY YOURS

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are the Chinese communist regime’s dream team. If they prevail in the November election, China’s nemesis, President Trump, will be replaced by the soft-on-China Joe Biden. “I mean, you know, they’re not bad folks, folks,” Biden said last year. “They’re not competition for us.” As President Trump said following the Democratic National Convention snooze fest, “China will own our country, if he gets elected.”

The Chinese communist regime was not even mentioned at the Democrats’ convention. The speakers, from Biden on down, ignored the elephant in the room while portraying President Trump as America’s mortal enemy who had wreaked the coronavirus on Americans. For months, the Democrats have aided the Chinese regime’s propaganda campaign to deny the regime’s responsibility for the coronavirus that originated in Wuhan China.

Chinese Communist Party officials early on censored the hashtag #WuhanSARS. They also attempted to shift the blame for the virus to the United States. Joe Biden put out a statement last April complaining about President Trump’s calling the coronavirus the “Chinese Virus.” This was in keeping with Biden’s initial opposition to President Trump’s restrictions on travel from China that the president announced on January 31st.  Using words that the Chinese communist party propagandists could have written themselves, Biden accused the president of xenophobia and fear mongering.

Last May, Kamala Harris obliged the Chinese regime when she introduced a resolution in the Senate that singled out the terms “Wuhan Virus” and “Chinese Virus” as examples of language that should not be used.

On the first night of the Democratic National Convention, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo came up with another regional name for the coronavirus. “The European virus infected the Northeast while the White House was still fixated on China,” Cuomo said. This blowhard thinks it’s OK to scapegoat the Europeans while conveniently leaving out the fact that the coronavirus originated in China and traveled from China to Italy as well as other parts of Europe via infected Chinese visiting or returning to their residences in Europe. It then spread to the Northeast of the United States from Europeans traveling here who were infected with the Chinese Virus. Cuomo made things far worse with his directive forcing nursing homes to accept elderly coronavirus patients from hospitals.

One of the most revolting things about Joe Biden’s candidacy is his dishonest insistence that Donald Trump called white supremacists “fine people.” Democrats have successfully used this hoax to brainwash large parts of the American public into believing that Trump and his supporters are racists and anti-Semites. One wonders, therefore, how much consternation there is in Biden campaign headquarters now that Richard Spencer, one of America’s best-known neo-Nazis, is all in for Biden.

To fully appreciate what should be one of the biggest stories in the presidential campaign, there are two things you need to know: (1) Who Richard Spencer is and (2) what the “fine people hoax” is.

Richard Spencer

Richard Spencer is an unapologetic neo-Nazi. He’s frequently seen giving Nazi salutes, quoting Nazi propaganda, and making openly anti-Semitic statements. He thinks Haitians should be re-enslaved and that racial minorities should be removed from America. Not surprisingly, his wife has accused him of verbal and physical abuse. He is a terrible human being.

Joe Biden climbed out of his basement last week. Twice! Once to deliver a brief but well-received address at the Democratic National Convention, and once to give a socially distanced interview to ABC News with his wing-woman Kamala Harris. The big news out of the interview is that Biden said he would shut America down again if scientists told him to.

If this is true, then I have a question. Why are we even bothering to consider Biden? Why not just elect Dr. Anthony Fauci, or Dr. Deborah Birx if we want to smash glass ceilings in the process?

This is really not a facetious question. Shutting down America again would not only cripple America, but it would also make any other policies that Biden might have in mind utterly pointless. A jobs program when nobody can go to work? An education program when nobody can go to school? An infrastructure program with no construction workers? I mean, how does this work?

The big giveaway in Biden’s answer is that he openly would give away the power of free citizens in a democratic-republic to make their own decisions and not be dictated to by “experts.” I recently interviewed Brown University economics professor Glenn Loury, who put this very well. He said experts should be on tap, not on top. On tap for us, but not on top of our lives. You can see the clip here.

The writer is a Republican candidate for Maryland’s 7th Congressional District.

I expect more from The Baltimore Sun than graceless screeds. You are not the right-wing media or a partisan liberal rag. You are the editorial board of Maryland’s paper of record. Like it or not, I am the Republican nominee for a contested congressional race where the Democratic nominee was pushed out of the NAACP, according to your reporting, amid allegations of sexual harassment, nepotism and mismanagement. That is the candidate you have endorsed. I am a woman of color running in a state that has no women in any elected federal or statewide offices. But you have now twice, without ever having met or interviewed me, attacked and mocked me on your opinion page (“Is Kim Klacik running for Congress, mayor or chief Trump enabler?” Aug. 19). What gives?

Not that it should matter, but I’m a moderate Republican. I believe in paid family leave and over-the-counter birth control, that climate change is man-made and presents an existential threat that demands our urgent attention, and that who you love is beyond the province of government. I believe we should invest more money in education, that teachers and social workers and mental health practitioners should be paid far more than they are, and that chokeholds and qualified immunity should be abolished.

National conventions have long served as what magicians call the turn. As explained in the movie “The Prestige,” every magic trick has three stages. First comes the pledge, when the magician “shows you something ordinary.” Then comes the turn, when he “makes it do something extraordinary” like vanish. Finally, he has “to bring it back in the hardest part” known as the prestige.

In American politics, candidates make the pledge to voters on the extremes of their parties during primaries. Then comes the turn, when the more extreme nominee disappears at the convention. The turn was not as tough for Joe Biden, who was fairly moderate as a senator, as it was for Kamala Harris, who was ranked by GovTrack as the most liberal senator to the left of even Bernie Sanders.

Nonetheless, in perhaps the neatest trick of all, the Washington Post’s David Byler recently described Harris as a “small ‘c’ conservative.” The concern for some of us is that the prestige, when earlier objects might reappear after the election, particularly regarding the Justice Department and the legal system. There is reason to worry about what might be revealed, post-election.

One of the Democratic convention speakers was former deputy attorney general Sally Yates, widely viewed as the leading candidate for attorney general in a Biden administration. She was presented as the personification of a new Justice Department’s commitment to the rule of law. Yates declared: “I was fired for refusing to defend President Trump’s shameful and unlawful Muslim travel ban.” The problem is, she wasn’t. She was fired for telling an entire department not to defend a travel ban that ultimately was upheld as lawful.
