The Irish-Jamaican Connection

Donald J. Harris is the father of Kamala Harris. He is a Jamaican-American economist and professor emeritus at Stanford University, originally from Saint Ann's Bay, Jamaica. Of Jamaican descent, Harris was born on August 23, 1938, to Beryl Christie Harris (née Finegan) and Oscar Joseph Harris.

"Kamala Harris’ family history runs deep in Brown’s Town, Jamaica"
Deep roots and a powerful matriarch
The town was named after Hamilton Brown, a slave owner who came to the island from Ireland and, according to family lore, is believed to have been an ancestor of Kamala Harris’ great-grandmother, Christiana Brown, also a descendant of enslaved Jamaicans.

“Miss Chrishy,” as Christiana Brown was known, helped raise her grandson, Donald Harris, who described her in an essay first published in 2018 in the Jamaica Global Online as “reserved and stern in look, firm with ‘the strap’ but capable of the most endearing and genuine acts of love, affection, and care.”

She has always touted herself as an Indian American, but now that she is running she is a black.
She supports reparations. She should be the first to donate her salary to descendants of slaves.
She is being adviced by democrats to hold off on announcing her policies.

Mark Zuckerberg just admitted three things:

1. Biden-Harris Admin "pressured" Facebook to censor Americans.

2. Facebook censored Americans.

3. Facebook throttled the Hunter Biden laptop story.

In other words many of you were manipulated and foolishly led like lambs to the slaughter. Govt pressured media not only Facebook but also MSM to shape the narrative.
Obrigardo plus everyone rooting for Kamala , you are a victim. Govt in conjunction with evil media has done a number on you. See consumed in your hatred of Trump that you don't realize you have been manipulated.

Schmidt the former CEO of google also visited Obama White house 45 million times, had also provided google technology to the democrat campaign. They were not pressured . They are sellouts.

He's backing out of the debate. With his performance of late, I guess he would die of a heart attack on the stage with VP Harris.

Ooo it was Kamala that made Kavanaugh cry, you remember?

And she also dismantled Tulsi on the debate stage and Tulsi has never recovered since then as she's gone right full wing after the beat down.

Rapist felon trump can't compete.
On debate 2020 she dismantled Joe Biden..Then feel the Bernie looked to run away with it. So the very democratic democrats led by Clayburn and Obama prevailed upon Bernie to tone down. Bernie bought a beach house. After he bought the house he changed tune to tax the billionaires not the millionaires.

Taliban new law. This is sharia law which will in a few tens of years come.to the west.


Article 13 relates to women. It says it is mandatory for a woman to veil her body at all times in public and that a face covering is essential to avoid temptation and tempting others. Clothing should not be thin, tight or short.

Women should veil themselves in front of all male strangers, including Muslims, and in front of all non-Muslims to avoid being corrupted. A woman’s voice is deemed intimate and so should not be heard singing, reciting, or reading aloud in public. It is forbidden for women to look at men they are not related to by blood or marriage and vice versa.


Majority muslim countries have this law of covering the hair. Full body veil is generally Wahabbi sect dominated states.

Most main stream media align with kamala reason for her fake polls to undermine Trump's popularity and still she keep hiding from the press.

Both two top candidates are trying to win the undecided voters at this stage and they want to see more press interview from her taking tough and challenging questions because she can't rely on rallies to do the work with less than two months to election and the top priority should be the undecided voters, again why is she shying away from the press? The undecided voters are asking?
Democrats will vote for any D .
They are making Trump look bad so the undecided will have no choice.
Methinks they also have some stash of filled ballot papers to ensure she becomes the most popular democrat who will garner 100 million votes.

Copy paste from FB comments.

Vice President Kamala Harris promoted the Minnesota Freedom Fund, an organization that has since used donor contributions to bail out violent criminals, in a May 2020 blog post.
Harris encouraged her readers to help “the protestors on the front lines” of the riots following the death of George Floyd by donating to the Minnesota Freedom Fund in the blog post, first reported by the Washington Examiner. The Minnesota Freedom Fund went on to bail out multiple convicted murderers and other violent criminals in the years following the riots, according to court records.
“Today, in solidarity with those protesting, I am asking for your help if you are able,” Harris wrote in her 2020 blog post. “Will you make a contribution to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, an organization working on the ground in Minnesota to post bail for arrested protestors?”
Protestors in Minneapolis burned down or otherwise damaged over 1,500 locations in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, causing an estimated $550 million in damages, according to the Star Tribune. Two people died during the riots, and law enforcement arrested 604 people between May 27 and June 2.
Oregon Police wearing anti-riot gear march towards protestors through tear gas smoke during the 100th day and night of protests against racism and police brutality in Portland, Oregon.
“Kamala Harris raised money for rioters while Minneapolis burned,” Karoline Leavitt, a spokeswoman for the Trump campaign, told the Examiner. “Her fundraising efforts helped free murderers and rapists. She should be ashamed and apologize for this, but she won’t because she loves criminals.”
Among those the Minnesota Freedom Fund bailed out was Shawn Michael Tillman, who was sentenced to life in prison this March after shooting and killing a man at a rail station in St. Paul in 2022. George Howard, also once freed by the Harris-backed bail fund, pleaded guilty in 2023 to killing a man in a 2021 road rage incident in Minneapolis.


Americans , Media tells you to hate Trump but find joy and ecstasy in Kamala Harris and the liar Tim Tampon Walz. Who refuse to answer questions from any journalist who does not donate to democrats.

another self own

lets take the first three states california - one of the richest states has the most welfare recipients

then texas and florida - red states that are not in the top ten earners have the next two highest numbers for welfare

stop copying and pasting without thinking.

statitically, high earning states also have a large welfare compnent

but somehow in your list you have at least four red states, two of which are dirt poor as highest number of welfare recipients

tripped over by your own numbers
A higher population in an equalized society income wise or rather where the income levels are not disproportionately distinct will have higher GDP.
Blue states have cities with large populations so their GDP will be most likely higher than one with a relatively lower population.
Would you have statistics on the number of welfare recipients vis-a-vis the state's population?

Telegram is better than WhatsApp esp in matters of group membership numbers.
WhatsApp I believe spies on users. It's FB and other social media purpose to give you free access , in return they build profiles on the users and channel ads relevant to you in other fora. For instances, you might join a group of mountain climbers in Whatsapp , a few minutes later FB starts suggesting you can join a mountain climbing group. Gmail starts sending you mountain climbing related stuff also.

I think this is a much better representation. And it is clear that California (a former republican but now demonrat stronghold) - with all the fentanyl, cocaine and other hard drugs, is first on the list for welfare.

He started on a hypothesis that Red states are the most poor and downtrodden in America.
Well you can have the lowest GDP but people growing their own food and have their own livestock may not be in need of welfare.

Sir, please re-read what you typed up there⬆️, especially the analogy that you used to compare Durov’s arrest to. The two instances are like day and night, making it painfully obvious that you don’t understand why he was arrested. Durov himself understands the nature of the crimes he’s being charged with and will spend millions on his defense while you feel he can easily be exonerated.
He is not doing it, the crines. He is allowing users on the platform to engage in whatever they want to do.
I had telegram on my Android. There are many channels that WhatsApp does not allow at all.
Especially dating, nudes etc .
Is he responsible for his users actions?
He should take orders from some bureaucrats on what to remove?

If they want to catch paedos, simply join a channel then subpoena details of specific users from Telegram.

If you read the bible you are most likely to becone a Democrat according to our resident idiot.

In early 2006, when Walz ran for the U.S. House of Representatives, his campaign website stated that he had received an award from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce for his contributions to the business community. This claim was refuted by Barry L. Kennedy, then-president of the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce, who confirmed in a letter that Walz had never been the recipient of any such award.
“We researched this matter and can confirm that you have not been the recipient of any award from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce,” Kennedy wrote in the letter, a copy of which was obtained by Alpha News.
Kennedy then requested that Walz remove the inaccurate claim.
“I am not going to draw a conclusion about your intentions by including this line in your biography. However, we respectfully request that you remove any reference to our organization as it could be considered an endorsement of your candidacy. It should be pointed out, however, that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has endorsed your opponent, Congressman Gil Gutknecht, for his support of small business issues,” Kennedy wrote in a letter dated Nov. 1, 2006
Expect the MSM to report this?Hey you must be mad.

Telegram has rebuffed authorities demand for a backdoor access to monitor users.
So now the CEO will be charged for money laundering, paedophilia, for stuff users do on his platform free of govt interference.
It's like charging Toyota CEO for drunk driving deaths & accidents because his cars don't force the driver to take a breath test before the engine starts.

I do think it was an actual assassination attempt, but there is a lot of it that doesn't add up esp. with his ear.
It's also surprising the Media is not more interested in this story nor have they demanded the Doctor's report with the ferocity they wanted Biden's.

There is no way that ear looks like that even if a bullet grazed him. And no way he wore that big pad on his ear during the RNC for that.

My best guess is shrapnel from a bullet that hit a stanchion near the stage or the station itself that hit his ear (shrapnel hit other police officers there as well who had to be hospitalized) and he embellished the rest to get sympathy.

I think Wray's initial statement was correct and they backed down to say it was a bullet or bullet shrapnel when they got Political pressure. Harris needs to fire Wray.
You are just a basket case. A doctor said it was a bullet.

That's the cover up. Did Joe Biden know about the attempt before it happened by virtue of something he said about that weekend? Why did Jill hold a nearby rally where secret service agent were diverted to her ? Why did the secret service not use the radios provided by the local police.
