"I see a lot of people on Twitter desperately trying to defend the insane, suicidal tax proposed by Vice President Kamala Harris on 'unrealized capital gains.'

It's been a while since anyone has proposed a dumber idea, so in that sense, at least, she is a historic candidate. And those who think it's a good idea are historically stupid.

As many others have pointed out already, such a tax would harm everyone investing for retirement, depressing asset values as the uber-rich are forced to make massive annual sales just to pay the tax. And what I'd really like to know is whether, if I'm ever forced to pay taxes on stocks I'm still holding just because their value went up on paper, do I get my money back when their on-paper value goes back down again months or years later?"

"As fate would have it, the 79th anniversary of the formal Japanese surrender in World War II came on the same day that Joe Biden all but encouraged Hamas to keep fighting and holding hostages in Gaza.

"The contrast suggests that had Biden been president back then instead of Harry Truman, America would have lost the Second World War.

"Truman boldly led the free world to total victory, while Biden is an appeaser from head to toe.

"He is a modern incarnation of Neville Chamberlain, the British prime minister so desperate for peace that he convinced himself Adolf Hitler wanted the same thing."

"President Joe Biden has vowed to veto the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, which simply requires proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. His promise was made in reaction to congressional Republicans who want to include it with any continuing resolution required to fund the next fiscal year, which begins on Oct. 1. The president's adamant opposition to what most Americans support demonstrates just how much Democrats are dedicated to making it easier to cheat in elections.

"On Dec. 16, 2020, as chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, I held a hearing titled, 'Examining the Irregularities in the 2020 election.' In spite of the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the election irregularity deniers, there were many indisputable irregularities."

"Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has been found guilty of puffing up his military record to look more manly -- also known as stolen valor. Now it looks as though Kamala Harris has committed her own version of stolen valor by claiming a working-class medal that she may never have earned.

"Harris and her campaign have been bragging about her modest roots and her supposed connection to working-class folks, exemplified by her having toiled at McDonald's while in college, a claim she repeatedly makes in her speeches and that came up countless times at the Democratic National Convention.

"But, like so many things about Harris and Walz, this story started to fall apart on closer inspection."

"I thought I was reading a headline from The Babylon Bee when I saw on Tuesday that Vice President Kamala Harris now wants to build the border wall.

"But it wasn't satire.

"Rather, the Democratic presidential nominee has decided she supports one of former President Donald Trump's signature ideas -- and one despised by progressives.

"Here's how left-leaning Axios described Harris' newfound desire to build the wall: 'It's the latest example of Harris flip-flopping on her past liberal positions such as supporting Medicare for All and banning fracking -- proposals that aides say she now is against.'"

"Over the last few weeks, as corrects and fact checks roll in, I've wondered whether Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has ever told the truth about anything at all. We know that he's lied about his military service, including misleading people into believing he served in Iraq or Afghanistan, and habitually claiming a rank he never earned. We know he lied brazenly about his DUI, with his Congressional campaign distorting literally every detail about the incident, in which he was drunk and going 96 mph. We know he even stooped to lying about how his two children were conceived, making up a false story in furtherance of an already-deceitful attack against JD Vance (and Republicans generally). If one is willing to misstate facts about one's own military service, as well as peddle falsehoods about one's own kids, there is likely no subject that would be off limits for lying."

"Harris was one of the most liberal members of the Senate and was never viewed as someone likely to form a compromise on key votes. She was not one of the Democrats commonly referenced as moderates in that body on close votes.

"Harris was even rated to the left of socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). After her ranking by GovTrack was cited widely in the media as showing her as the most liberal member of the Senate, the site took down the page, which had been up for years. Harris is now to be portrayed as a moderate, whether it is true or not."

"Will the real Kamala Harris please stand up?

"After three nights of political hosannas where she was depicted as a cross between Eliot Ness and Mother Teresa, Harris finally took the floor to speak for herself Thursday night.

"She spoke well and forcefully and electrified the Chicago convention hall, but color me as confused as ever.

"Other than not being Donald Trump or Joe Biden, who is she?

"What does she really believe and what would she do as president?

"If she knows the answers, she's keeping them a secret."

"After listening to Wednesday night's Democratic National Convention keynote speaker, vice presidential nominee Tim Walz, an MSNBC reporter observed that the Minnesota governor and his family were 'so remarkably normal after what we've been through the last four years.' It wasn't entirely clear if the comment was intended as a dig at the dysfunctional Biden family, or if Democrats have spent so much time this week vowing to 'turn the page' and embrace the future that their supporters have simply forgotten they still control the White House. (RIP, Sleepy Joe.) ...

Democrats leaned hard on narrative Wednesday, which makes sense because Walz and his boss, Kamala Harris, have yet to articulate a coherent policy vision or explain what priorities they would pursue if elected. With the election just 75 days away, why bother? The mainstream media seems utterly unwilling to challenge them. 'We've got something better to offer,' Walz said, outlining what might as well be the party platform at this point. Democrats are good and stand for respecting neighbors and 'compromise,' he insisted. He praised Harris for her willingness to 'reach across the aisle,' his most recent falsehood."

"The climate cartel is stooping to a new low, adding judicial corruption to its list of tactics. A deceptive and well-funded campaign is underway to corruptly influence judges presiding over dozens of climate change lawsuits now before many state courts.

"While the Environmental Law Institute's Climate Judiciary Project (CJP) presents itself as a neutral entity, there's really no such thing as neutrality in the climate space. CJP's main objective is to influence judges to penalize fossil fuel producers and further the climate agenda by sending judges biased information on the impacts of climate change.

"The radical climate agenda has progressed through Congress, mostly in the poorly named Inflation Reduction Act, and now they're moving on to the court system and starting at the state level, where the public eye is less watchful. If they succeed, the consequences could be devastating. Threatening our domestic energy providers ultimately limits every American's access to affordable, reliable energy and weakens our national security and military readiness. It is the Green New Deal by lawsuit."
