Typical Demotard collectivism - socialize the drug companies:

BOMBSHELL REPORT: Video emerges of Kamala Harris openly telling a crowd
she will STEAL A COMPANIES PATIENT and take it over..

“I will snatch their patent, so that we will take over.”

“I have the will to do it!”

"Yes we can do that, yes we can do that"

“So, essentially what we’re going to do – and you can visit the
website if you will, and if not, get you some documents – but
essentially what we’re going to do is set drug prices so that American
consumers are charged a price for drugs that’s the average price that’s
being charged around the globe.”

“And there’s a huge difference, insulin being an example,” Harris
continued. “The other thing is this, if people don’t want to cooperate
with that, I’m also going to do the next thing, which is this: A lot of
drugs, prescription medication, was born out of the federal funding for
the research and development of that drug. Your taxpayer dollars.”

“So, for any drug where they fail to play by our rules, and if that drug
came about from federal funding for what’s called ‘R&D,’ research and
development, I will snatch their patent so that we will take over,”

Contrast that taking with Trump's free market-based July 2020 plan:

https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/articles/congress-didnt-act-on-prescription-drug-prices-so-president-trump-did/

The President signed four sweeping executive orders on Friday, which
together will significantly lower the cost of prescription drugs while
increasing access to life-saving medications such as insulin:

The first order directs federally qualified health centers to pass along
massive discounts on insulin and epinephrine from drug companies to
low-income Americans.

The second order will allow the safe, legal importation of prescription
drugs from Canada and other countries where the price for identical
drugs is lower.

The third order will prohibit secret deals between drug manufacturers
and pharmacy “benefit manager” middlemen, ensuring patients directly
benefit from available discounts at the pharmacy counter.

The fourth order ensures the United States pays the lowest price
available among economically advanced countries for Medicare Part B
drugs. The United States often pays 80 percent more for these drugs than
other developed nations.

“The four orders that I’m signing today will completely restructure the
prescription drug market, in terms of pricing and everything else, to
make these medications affordable and accessible for all Americans,”
President Trump said.

And damned if the Demotards didn't do a single thing to support,
implement, or enhance any of his work!

Now they want to "snatch patents"!

It's always a taking with the left, take your rights, take away your
guns, take your free speech, take your children's gender identity, so
why not just snatch a few drug patents?!?!

Funny thing that, Biden just sat there and veg'd out on drug costs for 4
long years and now Kamalabama is going to rush in and snatch some patents!

This is the same rancid rhetoric The Obamessiah spouted with his "you
didn't build that" bullshit.

These marxists want to turn our nation into a totalitarian state in
which they control every aspect of our lives and gender, all of it!

That's what is at stake in this election.

You knew their Marxist agenda was not going to stop with drug prices,

Hell no, they want to control ALL our food too!

Next stop on the clown car - Venezuela, USA:

@RobertMSterling
People need to stop overreacting about Kamala’s plan to reduce food
inflation, as if it would lead to communism, mass starvation, and the
end of America.

I worked in M&A in the food industry. Here’s a step-by-step summary of
what would actually happen:

1. The government announces that grocery retailers aren’t allowed to
raise prices.

2. Grocery stores, which operate on 1-2% net margins, can’t survive if
their suppliers raise prices. So the government announces that food
producers (Kraft Heinz, ConAgra, Tyson, Hormel, et. al.) also aren’t
allowed to raise prices.

3. Not all grocery stores are created equal. Stores in lower-income
areas make less money than those in higher-income areas, as the former
disproportionately sell lower-margin prepackaged foods (“center of the
store”) instead of higher-margin fresh products like meat (“perimeter of
the store”). Because stores in lower-income areas aren’t able to cover
overhead (remember, even if their wholesale costs are fixed, their
labor, utilities, insurance, and other operating expenses aren’t fixed…
yet), grocery chains start to shut them down. Food deserts in rural
areas and in low-income urban areas alike become worse.

4. Meanwhile, margins for food producers are also quickly eroding. Their
primary costs (ingredients, energy, and labor) aren’t fixed, and their
shrinking gross profits leave less cash flow available to cover
overhead, maintain facilities, and reinvest in additional production
capacity.

5. Grocery chains, which have finite shelf space, start to repurpose
their stores (those they didn’t have to shut down, I should say) to sell
more non-price-controlled items—everything from nutrition supplements to
kitchenware to apparel—and less price-controlled food products. Your
local Kroger or Safeway starts to look and feel more like a Walmart.

6. Food producers stop making products with lower margins. Grocery chain
start competing with each other to secure inventory. Since they can’t
compete by offering stronger prices (remember, producers aren’t allowed
to raise prices here, and, even if they could, grocery chains no longer
have the gross profit to bear price increases), they compete on things
like payment terms.

7. Small grocery chains start to shut down entirely, or get sold to
larger chains like Kroger. In addition to not being able to cover fixed
costs, a major reason for this is because they can no longer reliably
secure delivery of products, due to producers prioritizing sales to
larger customers, which are able to leverage their stronger balance
sheets to offer superior payment terms.

8. Smaller food producers—which typically sell via distributors, rather
than directly to grocery chains—start to go out of business. Because
these producers have an additional step their value chains, and because
they have lower volumes over which to spread their fixed costs, their
cost structure is inherently disadvantaged compared to major food
producers. When grocery stores aren’t able to raise prices, cutting
product costs becomes all the more important, and deprioritizing
purchases from smaller producers is an easy way to do so.

9. As supply chains break down, lines start to form outside grocery
stores every morning. Cities assign police officers to patrol store
parking lots, and food producers draft contingency plans to assign armed
escorts to delivery trucks.

10. The federal government announces a program to issue block grants for
states to purchase and operate shuttered grocery stores. The USDA also
seizes closed-down production facilities.

11. The government announces that prices for all key food costs—corn,
wheat, cattle, energy, etc.—are also now fixed, to stop “profiteers”
from gouging the now-government-operated food industry.

12. Shockingly, the government struggles to operate one of the most
complex industries on the planet. The entire food supply chain starts
imploding.

13. Communism, mass starvation, and the end of America quickly ensue.

Hey wait a second...

So now voting is a "state of mind"?!?!?

This nation is screwed!

"Tucker Carlson Exposes US Congress Passed A Loophole To Allow Illegal
Migrants To Vote | “It's illegal, you say, for illegal aliens to vote in
a federal election. Well, actually, it's not illegal, it turns out.
Congress passed something in the US code, the federal code, a line that,
unbeknownst to the rest of us, makes it legal for illegal aliens to vote
in federal elections if they believe they are citizens. It's a state of

Republicans in Congress are pushing a bill called the SAVE (Safeguard
American Voter Eligibility) Act that would require proof of citizenship
to register to vote. Meanwhile, Republican legislatures in at least six
states have placed noncitizen voting measures on the Nov. 5 ballot,
while at least two more are debating whether to do so.

“American elections are for American citizens, and we intend to keep it
that way,” House Administration Committee Chairman Rep. Bryan Steil of
Wisconsin said during a hearing he hosted on the topic this past week.

Democrats on the committee lambasted their Republican colleagues for
focusing on what they called a “nonissue,” arguing it was part of a
strategy with former President Donald Trump to lay the groundwork for
election challenges this fall.

Under the watch of Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), Minnesota handed over more
than $2 million to an Islamic organization raising funds for a charity
connected to an al Qaeda-affiliated group, according to records reviewed
by the Washington Examiner.

The Islamic Association of North America (IANA), which has received
state grants from 2019 through 2024, is currently fundraising for Rahma
Worldwide—a Michigan-based charity reportedly sending “humanitarian aid”
to Gaza in the wake of Hamas’s October 7th attack on Israel last year. A
deleted Facebook post from October 2023 by Rahma Worldwide’s President,
Shadi Zaza, confirmed the charity was collaborating on an aid effort
with Kuwait’s Islamic Heritage Revival Society, a U.S.-sanctioned
terrorist group for its support of al Qaeda.

This revelation comes as Governor Walz faces mounting criticism
following Washington Examiner reports exposing his ties to controversial
Muslim cleric Asad Zaman. Walz has consistently hosted Zaman, who has
shown open support for neo-Nazis and defended the October 7th attacks on
Israel. At a 2018 event hosted by the Zaman-led Muslim American Society
of Minnesota, Walz even referred to Zaman as a “master teacher.”

Despite the clear connections, Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign
insists Walz has no personal relationship with Zaman. However, Harris
and Walz officials have dodged requests for comments on the matter.

Terrorism analyst Sam Westrop from the Middle East Forum criticized the
administration’s actions, stating, “Embracing and funding an imam that
sympathizes with neo-Nazis was apparently only the start.”

Formed in 2001—the same year the Texas-based Holy Land Foundation was
designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S. Treasury
Department—the IANA describes itself as a “nationwide umbrella
organization with over 35 centers,” including more than a dozen in
Minnesota. IANA claims to represent Muslim communities nationally and
speak on behalf of its member organizations, including mosques that pay
membership dues.

mispronunciation of ‘Kamala’

The Minnesota Health Department awarded over $238,600 to IANA in 2024
alone. In 2023, the agency granted them $191,900, following a
million-dollar award in 2022 and over $612,200 from 2019 to 2021. These
funds were supposedly for public health initiatives, including community
vaccinations and outreach to the Somali community.

Yusuf Abdi Abdulle, IANA’s director, publicly stated on October 7th that
“Palestine has the right to defend itself,” prompting Zaman to respond
with an image of a Palestinian flag. On the same day, the Walz-backed
IANA echoed a statement from its partner group accusing Israel of
“unprovoked” attacks in Gaza, despite Hamas’s brutal killing of 1,200
Israelis.

Kamalanomics Blowback Begins As Food Prices Hit Record Highs

by Tyler Durden
Friday, Aug 16, 2024 - 05:40 PM

"KamalaCosts" and "Kamalanomics" are trending on X on Friday afternoon
as Vice President Kamala Harris unveiled her strategy to address the
crushing economic environment faced by the working poor and middle class
during her tenure as vice president in the Biden administration.

Recall that VP Harris was the biggest 'Bidenomics' cheerleader.

It makes very little sense why VP Harris has recently admitted at
campaign rallies there's an ongoing inflation storm and affordability
crisis, yet it appears she is throwing President Biden under the bus.
However, she is second in command and trying to deflect accountability
for nation-killing, out-of-control government spending that stoked the
inflation storm.

Americans are beyond frustrated with inflation that the Biden-Harris
administration has fueled over the past 3.5 years while VP Kamala Harris
travels across the country, avoiding 'unscripted' press conferences and
trying to convince voters at highly scripted campaign rallies that she's
not responsible.

"She's Literally Running Against Herself": VP Kamala Harris Admits
Families Hit By 'Cost Of Living' Crisis

After stealing former President Trump's proposed 'no tax on tips' plan,
the geniuses behind VP Harris' campaign thought it would be brilliant to
introduce communist-style government price controls on grocery stores
and food companies as their first major economic policy. The move was a
complete disaster, and even the leftists at the Washington Post pointed
out that it was a poor policy choice...

"If your opponent claims you're a "communist," maybe don't start with an
economic agenda that can (accurately) be labeled as federal price
controls."

Investment analyst Lyn Alden pointed out on X that grocery stores like
Kroger have "razor-thin profit margins." So the whole 'corporate price
gouging' narrative by Harris' team is just 'malarkey.'

Producers of food products have similar margins in the low double-digit
range.

House Republicans reminded folks on X today about the sour subject of
Biden-Harris' food price inflation crisis:

Others pointed out that 'Kamalanomics' is just an extension of
'Bidenomics' and focused on the massive food price surges.

Meanwhile, the latest data shows burger prices at the supermarket are at
record highs.

Urner Barry wholesale data shows egg prices are erupting again.

VP Harris had 3.5 years to save the middle class - yet she focused on
wokeism and failed at her 'Border Czar' job.

Food prices have yet to come back down to Earth.

The latest US CPI Food Prices At-Home index is up 21% since Biden-Harris
entered office, while wages for the working poor and middle class are
only up 19.8%.

Food prices at home rose 6.5% during Trump's term (+1.6% p.a.). During
Biden's term, food prices at home were up over 21% (+5.5% p.a.).

"Inflation is experienced at the grocery store, but always manufactured
by the government. It's the same story every time. The politicians who
create it by printing money, villainize and blame companies that have
nothing to do with it — to distract from their reckless spending,"
Cameron Winklevoss wrote on X.

The angle the Trump campaign appears to be taking is to hammer VP Harris
and Democrats for their mismanaging of the economy that has financially
decimated the working poor and middle class."

Indeed!

And these shameless collectivists want to NATIONALIZE food - that is
pure COMMUNISM!
