Prepare Yourself for the America of Kamala Harris … just in case

January 27, 2025November 3, 2024 by Tom McGinley

(Reddit.com) Kamala Harris with Sister Roma and Sister Hone Mahogany of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence (mocking Catholics for over 40 years.)

For those voters on the fence or long-time Democrats, this will likely be the America of Kamala Harris …

Many of you are not thrilled about either of the two candidates for President but are still likely to vote for Kamala Harris given you consider yourself to be a loyal Democrat. Before you do please consider this partial list of information contained here before you make that fateful decision.

Here are a number of key issues to examine in determining your level of agreement with the Democrat candidate:

Abortion –

The political ‘buzz-phase’ this season is that Harris would protect a woman’s right to “reproductive freedom” meaning abortion. Of course, abortion is precisely the opposite of reproduction. Harris is by far, the most radical pro-abortion candidate in American history. She has gone out of her way to not vocalize any restrictions, including 3rd trimester abortions when asked on numerous occasions.
Her running mate, Tim Walz, eagerly pushed Minnesota’s “Protect Reproductive Options Act” that has no restrictions (other than the health of the “mother”) on any abortions whatsoever including 3rd trimester abortions.
As California Attorney General, Harris was a strong supporter of undermining crisis pregnancy centers in her state until the Supreme Court stopped her.
Harris voted against the “Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act” that would have required treatment to an infant that survived an abortion attempt. She chose to leave the baby lie untreated until it died.
Harris supports repeal of the Hyde Amendment that restricts tax dollars from being used to pay for abortions.
(Donald Trump says he will seek no national law restricting abortion but will leave the matter in the hands of individual states much to the opposition of many in his own party, including his former Vice-President.)

210th Anniversary of The Star Spangled Banner

January 27, 2025September 12, 2024 by Tom McGinley

This essay was originally published by the American Thinker on September 14, 2014, commemorating the 200th anniversary of Francis Scott Key’s writing of the Star Spangled Banner.

This Saturday marks the 210th anniversary of that fateful early morning when Key, along with the British Navy, looked toward Fort McHenry in foggy, smokey Baltimore Harbor to see the result of the previous night’s enormous bombardment — and was inspired to write America’s most famous poem. I thought it appropriate to republish it.

Two hundred years, on September 14th, it was the unlikely convergence of a physician and a lawyer that produced the most recited poem in American history. Its inspiration occurred just a few miles from Fort McHenry, located in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, the site of one of our nation’s most important military conflicts.

Corey Comperatore: An American Hero

July 16, 2024July 16, 2024 by The American Citizen

When a husband and father uses his body to shield his wife and daughters from gunfire, it is truly a heroic act even though it is instinctual and done without conscious thought.

If Corey Comperatore were alive today he’d say he’s no hero. Such a sacrifice is simply what loving husbands and fathers do.

This enthusiastic Trump supporter and attendee at the campaign rally in Butler, PA would say that his final mission — protecting the precious members of his family, was a great success. But for Corey’s family, it was a horrible outcome.

They’ll forever remember his last words to them, “Get down”.

A Tribute to Fathers

June 16, 2024June 16, 2024 by The American Citizen

(This tribute was originally posted in June 2021 and will be republished every Father’s Day as long as I’m alive.)

The root cause for virtually every cultural problem in the United States is the number of children growing up without fathers in their homes.

This is not the case within my own family. I am fortunate to have four sons (two sons, Mike and Matt and two sons-in-law, Dustin and Patrick) who are loving and dedicated fathers to their children. My grandchildren are all very young, very blessed and just assume that having dad at home is the way it is with kids everywhere. We know it is not.

This Sunday is the nation’s 115th celebration of the value of fathers. My effort here is to personalize this day by publicly thanking these men who are raising my grandchildren to let them know how valuable they and fathers like them are in the lives of their kids, their wives and society at large.

Part 4 (Conclusion)

(CONCLUSION of a 4 Part Report)

**WARNING** The screenshots at the end of this report of Ashli Babbitt after she was fatally shot are graphic. They are included because they visually convey the horror of a homicide for which there were zero repercussions.

“I tried to wait as long as I could. I hoped and prayed no one tried to enter through those doors. But their failure to comply required me to take the appropriate action to save the lives of members of Congress and myself and my fellow officers” — Lt. Michael Byrd speaking to NBC’s Lester Holt.

In the conclusion of this analysis (Part 4) we’ll examine in detail the last seconds of Ashli Babbitt’s life and how the Department of Justice’s investigation was predetermined from the start.

It would have been impossible to even consider allowing a Trump-supporting, Capitol trespassing, January 6th insurrectionist to become the sympathetic victim and a veteran African-American Capitol police officer to be tainted as the villain in this story.

The evidence strongly suggests that immediately after the homicide, a D.C. narrative quickly evolved that the shooter was the good guy and the deceased victim got what she deserved.

(PART 3 of a 4 Part Report)

When Ashli Babbitt was shot and killed on January 6, 2021, the only member of Congress still in the House Chamber was Markwayne Mullin (R-Oklahoma) who refused to leave. When interviewed by the Wall Street Journal three weeks after the shooting, he stated that Lt. Michael Byrd “did what (he) had to do” and that by killing Babbitt he “saved a lot of people’s lives that day.”

On February 1, 2021 the Wall Street Journal article said investigators had already made a “preliminary determination” that the U.S. Capitol Police officer who shot Babbitt “shouldn’t be charged with any crimes in connection with her death…”

This determination was apparently made even before interviewing and getting statements from the three USCP uniformed officers who were guarding the eastern Speakers Lobby doorway until less than a minute before Babbitt was shot.

Given the lack of timeliness in conducting vitally important interviews, leading questions to seemingly pave the way to a predetermined outcome and a stunning disregard for available evidence (as contained in this report), it appears the fix was in.

(PART 2 of a 4 Part Report)

Of the thousands of protesters on January 6, 2021 only one person was shot to death on this infamous day of “Insurrection.”

Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt was the picture of enthusiasm as she walked from the White House to the Capitol as shown in this screenshot from the self-video she took during the walk. Her outrage at the inexcusable damage caused by some of her fellow protesters, an inability to remain passive and an act of apparent desperation to escape a violent retaliatory act — caused her to move directly into the sights of a U.S. Capitol Police Lieutenant who without hesitation fired a 40-caliber round into her upper chest.

As this report will make clear, it wasn’t enough that Babbitt was shot and killed. Her reputation and legacy had to be destroyed as well. In order to justify the shooting, she had to be portrayed as just another violent insurrectionist who got what she deserved.

(PART 1 of a 4 Part Report)

As the smiling, exuberant former Air Force veteran marched to the Capitol from the White House on January 6, 2021 to protest the national vote confirming Joe Biden as the 46th President of the United States, little did Ashli Babbitt know when she took this self-video that she had begun the last hour of her life.

The only person shot and killed by police during the infamous riot at the Capitol was a 5’2″ 110 lb. unarmed woman who died shortly after physically trying to stop one of the day’s most violent rioters.

Her execution apparently wasn’t sufficient for the Department of Justice and police investigators. In order to provide some justification for the shooting, they had to portray her as one of the violent protesters who ultimately got what she deserved. Her reputation had to be destroyed as well.
