PLANET VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY

(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, WEDNESDAY SEPT. 25, 2024) — THE PLANET sampled various polls. Some find Donald Trump ahead, others Kamala Harris.  Fox News poll has Harris up by 2 points. Polls, however, are what you want them to be.  Too often, they represent campaign-commissioned work whose purpose it is to deliver results to please the candidate.

Our advice, given 40 days or so from the November election, is to ignore poll results, unless you are willing to parse the poll itself:

  • What questions were asked?
  • Among which sample population?
  • At what time?
  • Asked by whom and in what manner?
  • More crucially, how were the data analyzed and presented?

Unless you know all this, forget the polls. Best to look closely at each campaign: HOW are they campaigning? What are their platforms? How are they engaging the public and the press? What are their track records?

Much more important than the poll will be the electoral college. If looked at electorally, Trump will win the presidency. That’s how he did it in 2016. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote but Trump crushed her electorally.

With that, THE PLANET present this guest column by Roger Kimball. It does a masterful job of explaining the Harris-Walz Magic Act.

———- ooo ———-

Levitation 101

Victory for the Democrats will depend on the perpetuation of the illusion that Kamala Harris is in any way a plausible candidate for the presidency of the United States.

By Roger Kimball

September 22, 2024

Every honest commentator, and even some dishonest ones, acknowledges the supreme oddity of Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign.

As has been oft remarked,  the oddity begins with the campaign’s origin.  Exactly how is it that Kamala Harris even became the candidate?  By what process was Joe Biden, the undisputed winner of the Democratic primary, ousted, eliminated and defenestrated from contention?  The rumors and stories are plentiful, but the actual facts—to say nothing of the dramatis personae behind the facts—remain obscure.

But somehow, exactly two months ago, Joe Biden raised his sleepy head in Rehoboth Beach and announced his departure from the campaign but not, pointedly, from the presidency. (Will that happen before January 20, 2025?  I wonder.)

No sooner had the public begun to get its head around that surprise than they were hit with an even bigger one: Biden’s replacement would be Vice President Kamala Harris.  How did that happen?  Who voted for her? Shhh!  Some questions are mood breakers, and it was clear from the get-go that the Harris campaign was going to have to depend heavily, some experts say nearly exclusively, on mood.

In the weeks since July 21, when Biden made his fateful announcement, there has been a lot of Dr. Johnson’s dog about the Harris campaign.  When it came to female preachers, Dr. Johnson said, we are reminded of dogs who can walk on their hind legs.  They do not do it well, but we are surprised they can do it at all.

Mindful of Harris’s, er, challenges in public speaking and responding ex tempore to questions from interviewers,  her handlers have been assiduous about keeping her out of such dangerous situations. The more she vocalizes (I almost said “talks”), the more damage she does to her candidacy. Her embarrassing performance on a ninety-minute livestream exchange with Oprah Winfrey in Detroit a few days ago underscored the problem.

Even Winfrey, a prominent anti-Trump Harris supporter, seemed taken aback by her guest’s incoherent flights of flaccid, cringe-making glossolalia. Harris supporters just winced and bit their tongues while critics pounced upon and ridiculed the seeping, leaking emission of empty saccharine vocables.

There are only 45 days left until Tuesday, November 5, the nominal election day. Of course, we dispensed with election day back in 2020; now we have an election season. It begins long before the designated day and continues on until Democrats conclude they have reaped all the extra votes they can muster.

Nevertheless, victory for the Democrats will depend not only, or perhaps even principally, on cheating.  It will depend on the perpetuation of an illusion: the illusion that Kamala Harris is in any way a plausible candidate for the presidency of the United States. And that illusion, in turn, can only be perpetuated if she is kept far from the klieg lights of public scrutiny.

Because of the shadowy forces playing out behind the Biden-Harris administration, one often hears it compared to the scene in The Wizard of Oz when the little dog Toto pulls back the curtain and reveals that Oz, the great and terrible, was just a doddery old man.

There’s something to that, but the puppeteers pulling the strings and managing the stagecraft that conceals the vacancy of the Biden-Harris duet depend for their success on a curious magic trick. Biden was—I mean, “is”—what we might call a simulacrum president, what Gertrude Stein would have called an “Oakland president” (“There’s no there there,” she once said of that California city). The trick was to wheel him out, as the stuffed corpse of Jeremy Bentham is still wheeled out to preside, “present but not voting,” at board meetings of University College, London.

It worked, sort of, for quite a while with Joe Biden.  It is not clear how it is working out with Kamala Harris. Again, the trick is to keep her image before the public while strictly rationing any actual contact between voters and the candidate.  Sightings are acceptable; interviews, press conferences, town halls—all such events must be choreographed down to the last softball question and pliable interlocutor.

Can the Dems keep it up?  I do not know.  A canny friend compared the process to levitation.  “Her campaign,” he said, “depends upon how long the media can keep it levitating in the air, disconnected from reality.  We are confident reality will set in, but maybe they can keep the thing floating for longer than we think.  We talk about the post-industrial society; the post-liberal society; etc.; what about the post-reality society?”

We might well be there already. I will close by noting two things.  One is that when reality is denied or obfuscated, it has a way of rushing back in unpleasant ways.  Whatever else it is, Kamala Harris’s joy-to-the-world socialism is a fantasy mask whose clown-like rictus conceals a multitude of dreadful realities.

My second observation is more in the way of a prediction.  While it is possible that Kamala Harris will win or, even if she doesn’t win, that she will be installed at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue on January 20, 2025, it is much more likely that Donald Trump will win and will once again get the keys to the domicile at that address. In other words, I do not believe that the levitation act will be successful.  Harris’s campaign will fall to earth before November 5 and—though this is not what the polls currently tell us—Trump will win in something approaching a landslide

Dan, they did away with elections Dec 2020, now we only have Selections.

The Liberals/Leftists/DNC Selected Joe Biden at first (remember what they did to RFK Jr!), then they flushed him like a stanky turd, to install Harris to run for President.

See a pattern?

Right on cue Dan. Harris just spoke in Pittsburgh. She all but made the
debate look good. The problem with Harris mumbling is when the applause is out of sync with her punchline. If anyone watched this today she isn’t qualified as Presidential in any way.

Trump will lose the 2024 election because he lost the women’s vote. No modern U.S. President has won the White House without the women’s vote. Furthermore, women vote in larger numbers than men. Kamala Harris has 2/3rd’s of the women’s vote. Trump will being going to the BIG house instead of….

**Why have you not brought your parents to Drag-Time Story Hour for kids?

You support all of the Harris/Walz policies, as you’ve stated many times on here.

So, quit being a “moral hypocrite” and bring your parents and let them enjoy the fun.

Who knows JM, maybe after Vuronika Baked shook his “goodies” in your mom or dad’s face, all in the name of wholesome entertainment of course, they would realize, “this certainly is not my democRAT party of old.”

Heres the tale of Joe and Jill. Joe was married and so was Jill.

Jill was married when she started banging Joe. She did it in her husband’s car.

Joe wanted her and she wanted Joe.

Joe threatened Jill’s husband with financial ruin if he challenged her divorce demands and made him give up claims to his house, amongst other things.

Then, together, Jill and Joe moved on to take everyones’ homes.

The whole Democrat party is disconnected from reality. The point was to get Kamala as the presidential candidate as late in the game as possible so she could ride that initial wave of “We got a woman candidate for president” to election day. So people won’t have time to remove the smoke and mirrors that Democrats have surrounded her with and see the real Kamala. The stakes are too high to take a chance on a person who didn’t make a good impression as VP. Our country and the world is in turmoil, but that doesn’t stop Democrats hoping they can fool enough people just like they did with Joe Biden by hiding his symptoms of dementia so he could win the election and Democrats could easily push him as far left as they desired. Kamala is already very far left and is just pretending to be more of a moderate. Bernie Sanders even sent a message to his supporters saying Kamala is just telling the public whatever it takes to win, but she will return to being a radical once elected as president.

Donald Trump’s Project 2025 would leave me homeless, as it would privatize the VA, which has a $325 billion per fiscal year federal budget that would make the for profit insurance companies big dollars. The whole point of Trump’s agenda is to gut federal programs that helps many millions of common people in order to give the super wealthy few huge tax cuts. Trump has promised the single largest tax cut in U.S. history if he is elected in 2024.

I better win the Powerball and/or Mega Million’s jackpot(s) so I don’t end up on my homelessness sidewalk on the corner of First Street and Fenn Street in my native hometown of Pittsfield, Massachusetts, while my enemy of over the past over 28 years now, Luciforo, lives in his $950,000 mansion in Pittsfield’s elitist Gated Community west of Berkshire Community College.

I have survived Andrea Francesco Nuciforo Junior’s decades of conspiratorial bullying and political persecutions, I have survived being from Pittsfield, I have survived being a Soldier in the U.S. Army, I have survived being wrongly indicted on 2 felonies in NH Superior Court many years ago now, but now, I hope to survive Donald Trump and his authoritarian agenda named Project 2025 by hoping that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz will be elected in 2024.

Look at the candidate pool for any office locally same old tired faces with no real plan to help the city, just an axe to grind with former foes. What has changed in the city of Pittsfield? Bunch of promises with no delivery it has actually become worse. Do we hold anyone accountable at the voting booth? No 16 % turnout. Same with National politics same old tired faces.

Democrats currently are breaking laws right here in Taxachusetts,

The RMV has been sharing drivers licence suspensions and decades of info that happened In other states. The idea is to add the suspensions to current driving records. The weaponization part is they can suspend your licence from previous records not recorded and suspend your right to drive.

You’ll either have to hire a lawyer or you can pay a hefty fine and in dui suspensions from decades ago out of state, whether you’ve had clean records since, and have a breathlizer type device in the car sometimes up to two or more years? All costing thousands.

The suspension added is a good idea for habitual offenders don’t get me wrong but the Double Jeopardy part to many is unlawful.

This is on the heels of Illegals getting a drivers license and not being vetted at all. Many many illegals have been getting arrested for driving infractions since this has happened. So you have a really unfair and quasi sanctioned department that have zero checks and balances. They can do what they want. There’s a word for this..Gestapo.

Hello blogger Dan Valenti,

Are you aware that the Pittsfield City Council voted to accept a state grant of $50,000 to undertake a management study of Pittsfield’s municipal government?

Who will receive the $50 grand to provide a management study report on Mayor Peter Marchetti, Matt Kerwood, Ricardo Morales, and the like?

I will provide it for free: They are all failed leaders of Pittsfield politics!

When are you taking your parents to meet and watch Vurinka Baked shake his goodie-bag in their faces?
Harris/Walz strongly support tranny-shows. Take them. Enjoy the show.
Oh, and don’t forget to take pics. No pics JM, or it didn’t happen.

In 1955, Buck Ram wrote the lyrics to the Kamala Harris theme song, The Great Pretender.“ Oh yes, (oh yes) I’m the great (the great) pretender 
Yes, pretending that I’m doing well”. Imitator, imposter, deceiver, charlatan( call it what you will), the consummate description of her persona. Many may deny, disagree or debate the description of this fraud but in the end, truth will always be the victor.
I hope and pray for the sake of our Republic, that many more of our sleeping citizens will awaken to this truth, prior to their entering the voting booth on the 5th of November.

here’s my political prognosis Joe Biden was the very worst president in the 250 years of our national history. He was barely alive brain functionwise with a year to go. Didn’t seem to matter to whoever runs this country.

What shall follow, if Trump fails, will be successive generations of depravity that will make Joe look mild. KH is a very pathological and thoroughly disturbed person and her man in waiting is even more so.

Say hello to the Matryoshka President.

When the General Secretary of the USSR Nikita Kruschev died, the second layer of government took charge – the KGB. So who ran the nation was the KGB. That is not really a government that anyone here should want.

When Biden died (mentally) he would have been replaced within the Congress approved Cabinet. Vice President, Sec. State? Nope, we don’t know who took the power. I assume the various bureaucracies of the Federal Government and various private guys divvied up the options and now run the executive. Just like the USSR. Not a country, not a government.

Just watched Donald Trump do a townhall in Michigan. Autoworkers asking questions right to his face. 5,000 people there in the stands.

It was all love. Just love “That’s just too bad. Here is how I shall help. We will fix that. Great questions.”

Love love love. Not hope, not positivity, not joy. Love!

Kelly Ayotte is upset that Governor Maura Healey and Joyce Craig headed out to Berkeley, California to raise campaign cash on Friday, September 27th, 2024.

https://www.wmur.com/article/ayotte-craig-california-fundraiser-92724/62415689

I am upset with Kelly Ayotte for:

1. Being the only U.S. Senator in the northeast U.S.A. for voting against gun control reform measures after the tragic school shooting at New Town, Connecticut’s Sandy Hook Elementary School in late-2012.

2. Not supporting Barack Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland to the U.S. Supreme Court by not allowing an up or down vote on the judicial nominee.

3. Unendorsing Donald Trump for U.S. President in 2016 after his hot mic “Grab women by their [genitals]” scandal, but 8 years later in 2024, endorsing Donald Trump for U.S. President.

4. Saying she is for the state abortion laws in New Hampshire after saying she is a pro-life politician.

5. Campaigning with the cringe “Don’t MASS up New Hampshire” tagline on her political signs.

6. Using Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey for her derision by unfairly scapegoating her in politics.

7. Running harsh negative campaign ads against Joyce Craig that blame the former Mayor of Manchester, NH, for all of the societal problems in the state’s largest and poorest city.

8. Allying herself with the Republican Party’s far right fringe groups that would hurt people if they control the government.

9. Raising over twice the amount of campaign dollars than her opponent, Joyce Craig, with over three times less the number of campaign donors.

10. Not being able to be taken as a credible candidate for Governor of New Hampshire because she has a negative reputation of a lot of important people saying that we cannot believe anything that she says is true.

Please support and/or vote for Joyce Craig for Governor of New Hampshire in 2024.

JM you are just a narcissist who doesn’t realize that wealth comes from using your mind and you can’t go there for fear of what truths you may find out about yourself.

JM is the perfect democRAT voter in a snapshot. I will explain.

He could work but he chooses not to. Instead, he finds it much easier to sit at home unemployed, watching MSM, and then incorporating the democRAT talking points (Project 2025) into his long-winded screeds. Never offering any solutions or suggestions Harris/Walz have to remedy the situation, other than TDS.

We certainly can’t forget about JM’s key character trait: playing the “professional victim.” It’s always someone else’s fault:

*Andy Nuciforo-a continuous, 30-year obsession with a man, who more than likely, doesn’t even give JM a passing thought.

*US Army-they were mean and yelled at him a lot. The Army expected JM to grow up and be a man.

*NH Cop-a cop doing his job that JM didn’t agree with. He ultimately ends up fighting with the cop and having to do jail time for it.

Did I miss anyone JM?

Hello blogger Dan Valenti, blog posters & readers, and everyone else out there,

I am a permanent and total 100 percent disabled Veteran who served our country – the U.S.A. – honorably in the U.S. Armed Forces branch of the U.S. Army. I received the regards of a U.S. President (GWB) who ordered me a hearing at the VA Central Office near The White House in the Summer 2004. I enjoy attending my VA appointments in Manchester, NH.

I did not like how the blog poster, below, described my life as a 49-year-old man, who has no criminal record – as my 2 misdemeanors were annulled over 5 years ago in 2019 by the State of New Hampshire.

As for the Manchester, NH, police officer John Cunningham who arrested me and had me wrongly indicted on 2 felony charges, he later hit a pedestrian with his police cruiser many years ago now, but he was never charged with a crime, while I faced a trial in NH Superior Court in Nashua, NH, for knocking over a plastic traffic cone with my car. Furthermore, Cunningham was counseled by his city police department for disrespect for yelling at a woman witness to my arrest by him saying to her, “I don’t care if he (Jonathan Melle) is disabled.”

As for Andrea Francesco Nuciforo Junior, he has conspiratorially bullied and politically persecuted me – as well as my dad, Bob – since the day I first met him in the Spring 1996, which is a little less than 28.5 years ago now, when my dad successfully campaigned for the elected position of Berkshire County Commissioner (1997 – mid-2000). I write with absolute certainty that nobody has had it worse in Pittsfield politics than me: Jon Melle, due to “Luciforo: Pittsfield’s Pot King (of lawsuits)’s” decades of abuses.

Does anyone realize that I spent me 20’s decade of my life from the Spring 1996 to the mid-Summer 2005 as a persecuted person who appeared to people as a paranoid schizophrenic due to Nuciforo’s mean-spirited actions against me, as well as my dad, Bob? Does anyone understand that neither Nuciforo nor his conspiratorial network of bullies ever once apologized to me for their hurtful words and behaviors against me, as well as my dad?

I do NOT understand why I – Jon Melle – am such as hated man in my native hometown of Pittsfield, Massachusetts, while some people revere Nuciforo for being a disgraced State Senator (1997 – 2006), a political hack Registrar of Deeds in Pittsfield (2007 – 2012), a failed candidate for U.S. Congress (2012), a corrupt Attorney in Boston’s Financial District (1999 – present day, 2024), and the co-founder of the Berkshire Roots marijuana business (2017 – present day, 2024), who, back in 2004, wore a matching tuxedo with John Forbes Kerry at an elite presidential campaign fundraiser, but George W. Bush defeated his fellow Skulls and Bones Yale Alumni who married into the Heinz family fortune and is the billionaire champion of climate change reforms in the Swamp.

I am proud of my dad, Bob, who is now 80, for being a politician decades ago, but I wish I never met and/or knew the name Andrea Francesco Nuciforo Junior aka Luciforo aka Pittsfield’s Pot King (of lawsuits). I am NOT a politician. My dad was the politician. Please stop dragging me into my dad’s life because I live my own life. Thank you.

Best wishes,

Jonathan A. Melle

A perfect defense you give. Paranoid, indeed, those Pittsfield asshats you shall drive. Enemies even the paranoid have.

Now, after those slutty politicians you must stop slobbering. It’s the slobbering you must fight.

Slobbering leads to hatred. And hatred leads to people like the commie.
