When Kamala Harris ran for president in 2020, she called for a mandatory buyback of “assault weapons.” That’s political-speak for a compulsory confiscation of personal property by armed agents of the government.
The media never pressed Harris about the details, such as how she planned to define “assault weapons,” how she intended to get around the Second, Fourth, Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the Constitution, or how far she was willing to go if law-abiding gun owners refused to surrender their firearms to the government.
It didn’t matter, though. Harris was pegged as an anti-gun extremist, something that’s forever endeared her to the corporate media and their bosses.
Harris hasn’t mentioned her armed confiscation plans recently, but she doesn’t need to. After Joe Biden resigned from the presidential race via social media and Harris was handed the frontrunner mantle, of course the media jumped to offer whatever assistance they could. After all, here’s a politician who advocated seizing “assault weapons” by force, which fits the media’s anti-gun narrative 100-percent.
Case in point: When March for Our Lives – the New York City-based nonprofit with $1.3 million in assets that pays its secretary David Hogg an annual salary of $56,974 for a mere 10-hour work week – decided to endorse a political candidate, Harris, for the first time in its six-year history, the media absolutely erupted with support.
Even Rolling Stone published a glowing report, which was based entirely on a written statement from the nonprofit. Evidently, the March kids were too busy marching to answer the phone.
“Harris leads the who leads [sic] the new White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, and in March visited Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, touring the classroom where the mass shooting took place. March for Our Lives lauded Harris as a lawmaker actively engaged with their mission,” Rolling Stone wrote.
In an actual interview with ABC News, Natalie Fall, executive director of March for Our Lives, said, “We see a lot of energy around Vice President Harris in this election; there’s no denying that. I think everybody’s seeing it right now.”
England’s Sky News, which is owned by Comcast, couldn’t wrangle an interview with Harris, but still wanted to offer their support. In a story published Monday, Sky News cited comments from one of Harris’ previous speeches.
“Our nation is being torn apart by the tragedy of it all and torn apart by the fear and trauma that results from gun violence,” Harris said in a 2023 speech. “President Biden and I believe in the second amendment, [sic] but we also know common sense solutions are at hand.”
Betsy Reed, a U.S.-based editor for The Guardian, also British, published a story Thursday in support of Harris’ first campaign ad – a television ad.
“Throughout that ad, a Law & Order SVU-like deep male voice directly compares Harris and Trump, beginning, ‘He’s a world leader in temper tantrums. She never loses her cool. She prosecuted sex predators. He is one.’ It ends by calling Harris the ‘anti-Trump,’” Reed wrote.
Media bias explained
Why is the corporate media so slavish in its support of Harris? Why are reporters, editors and producers so willing to go to the mattresses for a one-term Veep who even the Dems admit hasn’t done a whole lot? The answer is simple: Guns are bad, the media believes, so any politician who opposes civilian firearm ownership is a hero.
Today’s corporate media practices a groupthink that vilifies anyone who supports the Second Amendment. Over the years, I’ve tracked examples of this collective thinking. Here are the most current examples.
This is what the media actually believes:
- Guns are evil. All guns should be banned. No one needs a gun.
- All gun owners are gun-nuts, rubes, hicks and hillbillies.
- All pro-gun lawmakers are crazy. Vilify them at will. Anything goes.
- All anti-gun lawmakers are heroes. They should be praised and protected from scorn.
- All anti-gun legislation – even if its unworkable, such as micro-stamping or “smart gun” technology – should be mandatory and strongly supported.
- All pro-gun legislation should be framed as crazy and ridiculed using outright lies and extreme examples.
- All pro-gun groups are obstructing the goal of total civilian disarmament and should be ridiculed and vilified. No mention should ever be made of their training, hunter education and gun safety programs.
- Concealed carry – especially Constitutional Carry – is deadly and leads to more violence. It should be criticized at every opportunity, as should those who carry concealed firearms.
- If a concealed carrier uses their firearm to save a life, it should not be reported unless they’re sued or criminally charged.
- Anyone who challenges this accepted conventional wisdom – especially another journalist – is the enemy.

“President Biden and I believe in the second amendment, [sic] but we also know common sense solutions are at hand.”
There ain’t no “but” in the 2nd Amendment. However, there are butts making such statements.
The media is friend to the state and an enemy to the people.
You really, really, really cannot hate them enough.
The MSM doesn’t believe half of what they say. They do their job to collect a check and/or push an ideological agenda. Even if you missed the last decade of them lying about every single major story, they now show their hand with their schizophrenic reporting of Joe Biden over the past month.
“Joe’s a genius.”
“Joe had a bad night.”
“We now have multiple reports of Joe’s cognitive decline from years ago.”
“Joe’s a genius again! And he hero! He’s like a founding father!”
The real reason no one trusts the press.

Trump Assassin SOCIAL MEDIA FOUND & Posts Are VERY BAD For The Narrative! (note: this guy was yet another mentally ill left winger)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6EcIZo3ydo
From Andrew Torba, 25 July 2024:
Today Gab learned that Thomas Crooks, the deranged Joe Biden supporter who attempted to assassinate President Donald Trump, may have had an account on our platform. We are unable to confirm that the account in question actually belonged to him, but have reason to believe it does after receiving an emergency disclosure request from a law enforcement agency.
The account was last active on the site in 2021. As far as we are aware, the account did not use the site to send any direct messages. He posted on the site nine (9) times total.
While the account made very few posts on the site, the majority of them were in support of President Biden. A number of posts in particular expressed support for President Biden’s COVID lockdowns, border policies and executive orders.
We have saved the account data pending receipt of a search warrant.
We are disclosing this information at significant personal and business risk. If the past is any guide, defying the D.C. consensus by publishing the first definitive evidence that the shooter was a Biden supporter – something Democrats and their media allies have tried to cover up and deny at every turn – has a high probability of resulting in significant political and media backlash.
In the past, we have been the target of politically motivated inquiries from both the House Oversight Committee and the Joint Committee on the January 6th Attacks, both of which sought to interfere with our mission of protecting free speech online. The enemies of freedom have the ability to impose significant present and future legal costs and any donations we receive will help to defray those costs.
The choir knows this. It is however very illuminating. Very much like a very bad TV show.
“The media is friend to the state and an enemy to the people.”
They blew it, bigtime. Their ‘news coverage’ has become so obviously one-sided, no one takes them seriously anymore, as proven by their plummeting ratings…

Vattel, “The Law of Nations” from the 1750’s . The laws that were in effect at that time in various countries. At least one copy of that book is known to have been present when the US Constitution was drawn up.
Book 1, Para 212 shows: “The citizens are the members of the civil society: bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens.”
(Obama slid by even though only one of his parents was a US citizen.)
Book 1, Para 214 defines “naturalized citizens”. A nation, or the sovereign who represents it, may grant to a foreigner the quality of citizen, by admitting him into the body of the political society. This is called naturalisation. ….. Finally, there are states, as, for instance, England, where the single circumstance of being born in the country naturalises the children of a foreigner.
The new United States followed English Law.
So, born on US soil, a “naturalized” citizen, not a “natural born” citizen.
US Constitution, Article 2, Section 1: “No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President.”
The US Constitution does not define “natural born”, as it’s meaning was common knowledge at that time in history.
Neither of Ms Harris’s parents were US citizens at the time of her birth in 1964.”
None of that matters when people realize that she has been lying to the public about Puppet Joe’s health for the past four years. Coverup Kamala. A name you can’t trust.
she was an ‘anchor baby’, this is not news and not as important as you so jubilantly claim.
Let’s talk about her record — or rather, lack of one.
