Trump changes gears on election campaign and dubs his presumptive rival as " Left Radical Lunatic", and VP Kamala Harris shoots back daggers out saying he will terminate the constitution , deport thousands and usher in an authoritarian regime disrupting the life of the urban middle class
After being called a “ Left Radical Lunatic, for Democrat party’s presumptive candidate Kamala Harris Sharpens, its Knives Out against her bitter rival Donald Trump
By TN Ashok
The 2024 presidential elections in the US have now shifted gears from the questions over cognitive functions of Joe Biden to rule the country for another four years to whether his presumptive nominee Kamala Harris s a “Left Radical Lunatic: as dubbed by the egregious but often impulsive former President Donald Trump. He does not measure his words when he talks at rallies or give a 2nd look to what he writes in Truth Social.
Trump is a man who cannot forget his defeat of 2020 and give up his claim of a stolen election in 2020, he likes to live in the past, doesn't see the present and lives in an illusory future of his 2nd presidency, despite 91 counts of felony. 
A New York court has penalized him to pay $350 million against a reduced $450 million from an original $750 million fine brought by New Yorks elected democrat Attorney General Ms Letitia James, whom Trump has accused of acting at the behest of President Joe Biden. False. The case was brought by Cyrus Vance prosecutor before Ms james before Biden was even running for the presidency.
America is sharply divided between, sorry to say, white supremacy, mostly springing from the mid-west and southern states, which fought a civil war, unable to accept then President Abe Lincolns move to abolish slavery of the blacks in the cornfields. Ultimately the confederates lost to the union and surrendered and they were not allowed to hold any government official position under a law.
Now the country is sharply divided than ever before over abortion rights of women overturned by a conservative panel judges of the supreme court , dominated by Republican nominees, nine judges, six are republican appointed and three by democrats, that overturned a 50 year judgement better known as the Roe vs Wade suit that upheld women's rights over her reproductive functions.
America once in a while goes into frenzy when mentally disturbed people buy an AR-15 (automatic rifle) off the shelf of a gun store, which is easier than getting a prscription drug from a pharmacy, and perches himself on a rooftoop and sprays bullets with his sniper rifle killing dozens of peopel.
The uvalde shooting incident that killed school children in a primary school in Texas and the Buffalo TOPS mall mass killing of mostly black african americans in New York shocked the conscience of a nation to call for greater gun control. The independence day parade was marred by a lone gun man who went on a shooting spsree in High Land park in Illinois.
NRA President Wayne LaPierre
The National Rifle Association, the biggest gun lobby in the US with senators and congressmen, makes people to call for upholding an archaic law enacted during their wild west days of the evolution of new found land America, that a person can carry a concealed weapon upon himself in public for the purpose of protecting himself in a self-defense action should anyone or a mob attack him. It's called the 2nd amendment to the constitution.
America has come a long way from the Wild West to a modern civilized society that carries and inherits sins of the past. On the one side you have the conservatives, mostly republicans, who want to stick on to archaic rules and on the other side you have the liberals who want to reform rules and move forward, mostly democrats, often referred to as leftists' communists by the conservatives.
America is the preacher to the world on democracy, ruled based trading system, a universal policemen checked only by an authoritarian dictator in Russia Vladimir Putin. And other religious monarchs in Iran, autocrats in North Korea and communist leader in China. The new axis of powers since world war2( then Germany, Japan and Italy).
AMERICA IS A NATION OF ONE PEOPLE FROM MANY COUNTRIES. The first coin minted had the inscription IN GOD WE TRUST, as migration of different ethnicities increased, it was replaced by
latin inscription Pluburious Unum. In Latin it meant Out of Many One.
We have to view the American elections which has become much fiercer with a woman candidate, that too a black African Asian –India origin standing for presidency, she is almost through with 90-% democrats backing her. Most pollsters say that America is a male chauvinistic society that will not allow a woman to become the president of the United States. Thats what most people said about black african american ever becoming president. Barack Obama did become and serve two terms. Irving Wallace wrote a famous novel about a Black becoming president, a prophetic work.
First Amendment to the United States Constitution
American has the 1st amendment, the right to free will and speech. So you can put a stool in Central Park and shout anti government slogans and call the president names without being prosecuted. And thats what Trump takes advantage of when he writes and defames people in is social platform Truth Social. Calling Kamala Harris a left radical itself was too much and that too a lunatic, it was unbecoming of a former president to use such words.
But the democrats are not Trump. So, Kamala Harris has shot back in her own way. She is still a presumptive candidate only. She has to be confirmed by the Democratic National Convention comprising over 2750 votes. If you count super delegates – there are about 760 super delegates, elde
In all likelihood he will witdraw under pressure.
So how did Kamala Harris react to Trumps Lunatic Radical remark. The Vice President took him head on amidst a crowd of roughly 20,000 in Dallas, Red State, echoing her boss’s fears that Trump was a threat to democracy. That former President Donald J. Trump had said he would terminate the Constitution in a second term. A country breathes life and lives life fully through the constitution and the rights it gives to people. Terminate it?
Vice President Kamala Harris in Dallas on Wednesday. With an increasing number of Democrats questioning whether President Biden can and should serve another four years, she has been more explicit about the dangers she sees in a Trump second term.
Zolan Kanno-Youngs, a columnist with the New York times, who has covered the vice president extensively during the Biden White House, says Vice President Kamala Harris has escalated her attacks on former President Donald J. Trump on Wednesday as she said in Dallas that Mr. Trump would round up his political enemies, deport peaceful protesters and terminate the constitution in his 2nd term. .
Kamala Harris makes a forceful election speech against Trump at Dallas, a red state of Texas
A powerful statement indeed. “Consider: Donald Trump has openly vowed if re-elected he’ll be a dictator on day one, that he will weaponize the Department of Justice against his political enemies, round up peaceful protesters and throw them out of our country and even, and even and I quote, ‘terminate’ the United States Constitution,” Ms. Harris said.
Ms. Harris has been harshly critical of Mr. Trump in the past, but at campaign events in the last two days, as an increasing number of Democrats questioned whether President Biden had the ability to beat Mr. Trump in November and the acuity to serve another four years, she has been far more explicit about the dangers she sees in a Trump second term. Ms. Harris has emerged on top of the ticket replacing Biden who made her his presumptive nominee and over 90% of democrats including leading governors backing her cabdidac. She is being considered as the top replacement for Mr. Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket.
In Dallas, Ms. Harris tried to attach Mr. Trump to Project 2025, a policy and staffing blueprint assembled by dozens of conservative groups for the next Republican administration. Among the platform proposals include replacing many federal civil servant jobs with political appointees who would be loyal to the president.

Ms. Harris accused Mr. Trump of adopting the project, which would shrink the Department of Education and cut programs like Head Start, the federal program for preschool children frolow-income families. “Let us be clear, this represents an outright attack on our children, our families and our future,” Ms. Harris told roughly 20,000 people at an eve Alpha Kappa Alpha, a historically Black sorority of which Ms. Harris is a member.
In her warning about the Constitution, Ms. Harris was referring to a statement from Mr. Trump in 2022 ...about Twitter. The site blocked links to a New York Post article that described emails found on a laptop belonging to Hunter Biden, Mr. Biden’s son. “A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution,” Mr. Trump wrote at the time on his social media network, Truth Social. He also included in the post the lie that the 2020 election was “false & fraudulent.”
With Project 2025 and Agenda 47, the USA’s Coups Come Home to Roost
In December, he told Fox News that he would not be a dictator “other than Day 1” of his second term. Project 2025, which is led by the conservative Heritage Foundation, is not Mr. Trump’s official campaign platform, and the former president has recently sought to distance himself from it. But the plans were developed by some of Mr. Trump’s former aides and advisers who are likely to be involved in a potential second term, and many of the policies in Project 2025 mirror Mr. Trump’s official platform, Agenda 47.
Project 2025
It aims to dismiss alll civil servants from the government and appoint all supporters of Trump from his party or voters. Trump has dissociated himself from this and avoided speakingh publicly on this issue.
Agenda 47
Can Harris Pull Off a Victory in 3 Months? 3 Top Strategists Lay Out How.
We convened a roundtable with former campaign managers and strategists to ask them about Harris and Trump’s biggest vulnerabilities, how her entrance shakes up the electoral map and their Election Day predictions.
In a statement, Danielle Alvarez, a spokeswoman for the Trump campaign, accused “Team Biden” of “fear-mongering because they have NOTHING else to offer the American people.”
With Mr. Biden mired in controversy after his disastrous debate performance two weeks ago, Mr. Trump has increasingly taken aim at Ms. Harris. Mr. Trump has dubbed her “Laffin’ Kamala Harris” and intentionally mispronounces her name at campaign events. Ms. Harris’s recent sharp rebukes of Mr. Trump come to the relief of many Democrats who felt she was too cautious and scripted when she first came to the White House.

But while political momentum is building for Ms. Harris, she is also navigating a difficult balancing act in not spotlighting the messaging limitations of her boss. On Wednesday in Dallas, the crowd gasped when Ms. Harris first mentioned Mr. Trump’s name about midway through her speech. She noted that he had appointed three justices to the Supreme Court who joined the majority in overturning Roe v. Wade.
Sonia Southerland, a 69-year-old member of the sorority, said she was struck by how Ms. Harris explained the stakes of the election, specifically his potential plans for a second term. “We can take that message back to our communities,” Ms. Southerland said, “back to our families, back to our big and little girls, and help them to understand what is happening in this country at this moment.”
Trump Attacks Harris as ‘Radical’ in First Rally Since Her Ascent
The Trump campaign has sought to tie Vice President Kamala Harris to unpopular Biden administration policies and paint her as too liberal for independent or moderate voters, the New York Times said.
Former President Donald J. Trump spoke Wednesday in Charlotte, N.C., at his first campaign rally since President Biden ended his re-election bid.
Michaael Gold, another columnst with the New York Times says, former President Donald J. Trump on Wednesday blasted Vice President Kamala Harris as radically liberal and blamed her for what he called the Biden administration’s “disastrous” policies, repurposing attacks he had long leveled at President Biden now that Ms. Harris is poised to be his opponent in November.
American goes to elect a new president on November 05. Voters elect a congressman from their district at times one and at times two now following the redistricting of the constituencies after the pandemic resulted in migration of populations from one state to another either decreasing or increasing the number of seats in each constituency. The congressmen elected from their constituencies form the electoral college who elect the president. The Congress, thats the house of representatives has a life of of just two years. After two years the house goes or a mid-term election. And the final cycle of two years it goes for vote along with the presidential elections. This is election cycle. Senators enjoy a term of six years in a house of 50 senators and the vice president is the chair who has the casting vote in all legislations.
The house has a strength of 435 seats and a party needs 217 plus one to form the gofenrment. At present after the midterm in 2022, Democrats have 209 seats against Republicans majority of 222 seats.
Back to Kamala Harris. On the question of how Democrat election strategy would shift after Biden dropped out of the race, Ms. Harris cleared the field of potential Democratic rivals. Mr. Trump at a rally in Charlotte, N.C., denigrated her time as a prosecutor and attacked Ms. Harris as “radical” on abortion, an effort to undercut what may be two of her strongest arguments to voters. Biden sent her as an ambassador to campaign for abortion rights of women overturned by the Supreme Court, to battleground states numbering over 10.
7 States That Could Sway the 2024 Presidential Election
Arizona
2024 Swing States
Electoral Votes: 11
The Grand Canyon State swinging from a Trump victory in 2016 to a narrow Biden win in 2020 bucked a decadeslong trend, as a Republican candidate had won the state in every other presidential election this century.
Arizona’s battleground status is a testament to its changing demographics, and immigration – always a polarizing issue, but especially so in 2024 – is a major talking point in the border state this year.
Georgia
2024 Swing States
Electoral Votes: 16
Georgia is another example of how the group of swing states can vary.
Biden’s major victory there in 2020 marked the first time a Democratic presidential candidate had won the Peach State since Bill Clinton in 1992.
Black voter turnout and enthusiasm in 2020 played an important role in Biden’s win, and the voting bloc again could prove pivotal in November.
Michigan
2024 Swing States
Electoral Votes: 15
The Great Lakes State has almost always gone Democratic in recent decades, but is also no stranger to being a battleground.
It’s one of three states – along with Pennsylvania and Wisconsin – that formed a “blue wall” for Biden in 2020, but Trump won each state over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Recent survey data indicates that the economy is of utmost importance to Michigan voters, and the state’s working class is a key group for both candidates to win over.
Nevada
2024 Swing States
Electoral Votes: 6
The fact that Nevada has the lowest number of electoral votes among the seven swing states shouldn’t minimize its importance in the presidential election.
Biden’s 2020 win marked the fourth consecutive victory by Democratic candidates in the Silver State, but the margin was relatively small that year and in 2016, when Clinton won it.
Though it’s fairly close to the southern border and more than 30% of its relatively diverse population is Hispanic, polling indicates the economy tops immigration as a key election issue in the state.
North Carolina
2024 Swing States
Electoral Votes: 16
The Tar Heel State may “lean Republican,” according to a U.S. News analysis, but it’s still a definite swing state. Trump won North Carolina by just 1.3 percentage points in 2020.
Biden made the state the last stop on a post-State of the Union tour of swing states, and Democrats hope North Carolina will prove to be the Georgia of 2024.
The state also could be a crucial pickup for Biden should other battlegrounds side with Trump.
Pennsylvania
2024 Swing States
Electoral Votes: 19
The Keystone State clinched the “blue wall” – and the presidency – for Biden, its native son, in 2020.
Trump’s win there in 2016, however, snapped a streak of Democratic candidates carrying the state, and Biden only won by 1.2 percentage points four years ago.
Its 19 electoral votes amount to the fifth-most overall and the highest number among swing states.
Wisconsin
2024 Swing States
Electoral Votes: 10
Alphabetically the last of the “blue wall” states, Wisconsin was once considered a reliably blue Rust Belt state until Trump eked out a victory there in 2016 and cemented its status as a battleground. Biden then flipped the script with his own narrow Badger State victory over the former president in 2020. Both of the main 2024 candidates were headed there in April, demonstrating the value of Wisconsin’s 10 electoral votes.
Trumps nephew rebukes uncles Lunatic call of Harris and says he is atomic crazy himself.
Mr. Trump, who earlier this year said he supported states’ setting their own abortion policies, has never appeared particularly comfortable talking about the issue. In Charlotte, he stumbled to pronounce the word “abortion,” as he called Ms. Harris “a total radical” on the issue, then falsely claimed that she supported abortion “even after birth, the execution of a baby,” something no state law supports.
Later, Mr. Trump argued that she had been too lax on crime as San Francisco’s district attorney and overly supportive of criminal justice reform policies such as ending cash bail. To underscore his point, he announced that he had received the endorsement of the National Association of Police Organizations, whose president he brought onstage.
“Kamala Harris wants to be the president for savage criminals, illegal aliens,” Mr. Trump said to a crowd of thousands in the Bojangles Coliseum, many of whom waved “Back the Blue” signs. “I will be the president for law-abiding Americans.”
The crowd in Charlotte. Republicans have unveiled several lines of attack against Vice President Kamala Harris since Sunday.
Mr. Trump’s gambit to attack Ms. Harris on those issues carries political risks. By attacking her views on abortion, an issue he had largely minimized in his stump speech, he will most likely draw attention to his role in overturning Roe. And even as he attacked Ms. Harris’s campaign strategy, he twice used the phrase “convicted felon,” an inadvertent reminder of his criminal cases.
Mr. Trump and his campaign have been put on their heels by the sudden disruption this week of a presidential contest that had seemed set in place for months. In the days since Sunday, when Mr. Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed Ms. Harris, Republicans have unveiled several lines of attacks.
Much of Mr. Trump’s speech on Wednesday consisted of his standard rally material. He again criticized Mr. Biden’s efforts to address climate change, likened many of those crossing the border to the fictional cannibal Hannibal Lecter, and repeated his false claims that the 2020 election was rigged, says Michsel Gold in his analysis.
At many points, he re-aimed at Ms. Harris — whose name he repeatedly mispronounced — the same criticisms that he had deployed against Mr. Biden for months, particularly over immigration and inflation, two issues where the president has polled poorly.
Mr. Trump tied Ms. Harris to all of Mr. Biden’s policies, calling her “the ultraliberal driving force behind every single Biden catastrophe.” He focused intently on the U.S. border with Mexico, an issue he has tried to put at the center of his campaign, calling Ms. Harris the “border czar” at least five times during this speech.
Ms. Harris never formally received that title, but Mr. Biden deputized her to oversee efforts to address the factors in Central American countries that were causing a surge of crossings early in his presidency. Though the surge has subsided from its peak, Republicans, including Mr. Trump, have argued Ms. Harris, who was never directly responsible for border security, failed in her mission.
Mr. Trump also denounced her for casting a tiebreaking vote on legislation that he said had caused inflation and said she had embarrassed herself by trying and failing to deter Russia from invading Ukraine. And building on days in which his allies have picked at Ms. Harris’s record as a senator and prosecutor, Mr. Trump criticized Ms. Harris as a “radical-left lunatic” who was more liberal than Mr. Biden, part of an effort to reduce her appeal to moderate and independent voters who helped deliver the presidency to Mr. Biden in 2020.
“She’s worse than him. Because he’s a fake liberal. You know, he wasn’t that liberal. He was fake,” Mr. Trump said. “She’s a real liberal.”
Ammar Moussa, a Harris campaign spokesman, accused Mr. Trump of trying to distract voters from the issues that mattered. “The choice this November will be Trump’s Project 2025 agenda to ban abortion nationwide and give himself unlimited, unchecked power; or Vice President Harris, who is fighting to protect freedom and ensure every American gets a fair shot,” Mr. Moussa said in a statement.
Mr. Trump continued to attack Mr. Biden as unfit for office. He accused Ms. Harris, whom he has given the nickname “Lyin’ Kamala,” of taking part in a “cover-up” to hide concerns about Mr. Biden’s fitness for the presidency.
After repeatedly insulting Mr. Biden’s intelligence for months, he on Wednesday mocked Ms. Harris for having failed the California bar exam the first time she took it.
It was one of several times Mr. Trump transferred arguments he has made about Mr. Biden to his new opponent. For more than a year, Mr. Trump has insisted that Mr. Biden was the mastermind behind the criminal cases against him.
On Wednesday, he suggested those cases were “all headed up” by Ms. Harris, because she was a former prosecutor. Yet, at the same time, he insisted Ms. Harris was a “really bad” prosecutor, which seemed to undercut his point and mirrored the similar conflict he had created by referring to Mr. Biden as both “sleepy” and “corrupt.”
And after months of trying to drive a wedge between American Jews and the Democratic Party by criticizing Mr. Biden’s approach to Israel’s war on Gaza, Mr. Trump accused Ms. Harris of being “against the Jewish people” because she did not attend Wednesday’s address to Congress by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Ms. Harris, whose husband is Jewish, is expected to meet with Mr. Netanyahu privately on Thursday.
