(WND)—Kamala Harris frantically has been tracking to the “middle” on many political topics ever since the Democrat party elites handpicked her to replace the aging, and mentally failing Joe Biden, as the party’s top of the ticket this year.
Her strategy of simply refusing to post her policy plans, refusing to answer reporters’ question and refusing to be available for interviews has worked for her, as she has gone more or less silent on critical issues now facing American voters such as the gender ideology.
It’s not just same-sex relationships and such; it’s the extremism of those body mutilations even for children. There are chemicals that activists use to delay puberty, and the actual physical surgeries in which otherwise healthy bodies are altered – many say mutilated.
A report in the Daily Signal confirms that Harris has simply “avoided addressing” many such questions.
That’s even though the “far-left position” is something that most Americans refuse to support. And Harris, as vice president for Joe Biden, almost always has been in that extremist position.
But LGBTQ organizations know that she’s in their camp, and they are “eagerly backing” her, and VP candidate Tim Walz, also a far-leftist who in his own state of Minnesota has pushed for radical actions such as the state taking custody of children should their own parents not push the LGBTQ beliefs adequately.
Maximize savings. Support great patriot Mike Lindell. Use promo code “JDR” at MyPillow and take advantage of the $25 EXTRAVAGANZA happening right now.
Walz, in fact, signed an executive order creating a “right” to trans chemicals and surgeries.
The report noted that LGBTQ promoters including the American Civil Liberties Union, GLAAD, Advocates for Trans Equality, and the Human Rights Campaign all are pushing a fear-mongering campaign that suggests Republicans will carry out “anti-LGBTQ” plans.
Those would include protecting children from transgender surgeries.
Harris’ decision to go silent is understandable as those agenda points that have been created by far-left organizations do not have mainstream American support.
“The White House, which has previously embraced ‘medical care’ for trans-identifying kids, appears to be aware of this. In early July, the White House flip-flopped on the topic, first telling news outlets that the Biden-Harris administration did not support transgender surgeries for children, before reaffirming support for irreversible procedures for minors after ‘intense pressure’ from LGBTQ groups,” the report explained.
The Biden-Harris administration, in fact, has been fully a part of the trans promotions, naming Rachel Levine, a man identifying as a woman, to a federal post. He reportedly pressured the World Professional Association for Transgender Health to drop age requirements for minors to be subjected to those body alterations.
Levine’s office has claimed that those “early” treatments are important for children, based on the largely manufactured claim that children are “at risk of self-harm” without.
Actually, research has confirmed that the likelihood of suicide attempts increases with “so-called gender-affirming care.”
GLAAD, which originally was the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, openly demands the chemical and surgical treatments, and assures its supporters the Biden-Harris administration is the “most pro-LGBTQ presidency in history.”
It endorsed her pick of Walz, too, explain, “Vice President Harris’ choice of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz underscores a longstanding commitment to the equality, prosperity, and safety of all Americans, including and especially for LGBTQ people.”
The organization said Harris has pushed for at least “66 positive moves for LGBTQ equality.”
That includes her performing a “wedding” for a same-sex duo two decades ago, in 2004.
Further, she’s been fully behind the leftist “Equality Act,” which would open the door to private women’s facilities like locker rooms and changing rooms to men, and she has opposed allowing counselors to try to help victims of unwanted same-sex feelings.
She’s also joined the campaign that Walz has supported, to threaten families who won’t allow their underage children to be subjected to life-altering surgeries.
The report noted the ACLU helps minors file lawsuits over those chemical treatments and body alterations and believes Harris “would be a champion for the community if elected.”
It wants Harris, from the White House, to “issue an executive order on day one directing federal agencies to examine ways that they can affirmatively enhance access to gender-affirming care in federally funded programs.”
This is much the same process that Joe Biden used to activate the entirety of the federal government to recruit and enlist leftist voters.
The ACLU’s James Esseks, in fact, said, “With further attacks on our rights and a landmark Supreme Court case on the horizon, we would encourage a Harris-Walz administration to … do everything in their power to protect our rights, our health care, and our freedom to be ourselves without fear.”
A Human Rights Campaign official said, “Her pick of Gov. Walz sends a message that a Harris-Walz administration will be committed to advancing equality and justice for all.”
That group’s statement said, “As vice president, Harris has helped lead the most pro-equality administration in history.”
The organization is another that promotes subjecting children to “treatments” in opposition to parental rights.
The report said, “The Human Rights Campaign also backs so-called gender-affirming care for minors, criticizing those who wish to protect children. … HRC falsely claims that ‘no permanent medical interventions happen until a transgender person is old enough to give truly informed consent.’”
The evidence is from the many young people suing doctors and medical organizations for providing for their “transition,” which scientifically is impossible, as “they were not able to fully give informed consent due to their age and mental health issues.”
Advocates for Trans Equality said a Harris-Walz regime would go beyond what Biden-Harris has to help push to transgenderism.
A report from an LGBTQ website document that some 1,100 “queer celebrities, politicians and leaders” have signed an endorsement for Harris’ campaign.
NBC reported, “The letter includes signatures from actors Matt Bomer, George Takei, Billy Eichner, and Sophia Bush and her partner, Ashlyn Harris, a former U.S. Women’s National Team soccer player. Out elected officials, including Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wisc., and Reps. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., Mark Takano, D-Calif., and Becca Balint, D-Vt., also signed, alongside notable figures such as Jim Obergefell, the lead plaintiff in the Supreme Court case that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide in 2015, and Judy Shepard, the mother of Matthew Shepard, who was murdered in Wyoming in 1998.”
That report, in fact, boasted of Harris’ “two-decade track record of supporting gay rights,” and it pointed out the letter describes her as a key component of a war against traditional marriage in California when she was a state official there.
GLAAD reports Harris also has fought to deliver sexually explicit books in public schools and libraries and promised to “LGBTQI+ youth” that “We stand with you.”
She also pushed for LGBT ideology to be taught in schools, and for boys who say they are girls to be integrated into girls locker rooms and showers in public schools.
That agenda, however, has taken multiple hits from federal courts who have ruled that the agenda must be blocked until the court process is completed.
Other pro-LGBT organizations that have fallen in behind Harris’ pro-trans agenda include the National Education Assocation and the American Federation of Teachers.

Five Things New “Preppers” Forget When Getting Ready for Bad Times Ahead
The preparedness community is growing faster than it has in decades. Even during peak times such as Y2K, the economic downturn of 2008, and Covid, the vast majority of Americans made sure they had plenty of toilet paper but didn’t really stockpile anything else.
Things have changed. There’s a growing anxiety in this presidential election year that has prompted more Americans to get prepared for crazy events in the future. Some of it is being driven by fearmongers, but there are valid concerns with the economy, food supply, pharmaceuticals, the energy grid, and mass rioting that have pushed average Americans into “prepper” mode.
There are degrees of preparedness. One does not have to be a full-blown “doomsday prepper” living off-grid in a secure Montana bunker in order to be ahead of the curve. In many ways, preparedness isn’t about being able to perfectly handle every conceivable situation. It’s about being less dependent on government for as long as possible. Those who have proper “preps” will not be waiting for FEMA to distribute emergency supplies to the desperate masses.
Below are five things people new to preparedness (and sometimes even those with experience) often forget as they get ready. All five are common sense notions that do not rely on doomsday in order to be useful. It may be nice to own a tank during the apocalypse but there’s not much you can do with it until things get really crazy. The recommendations below can have places in the lives of average Americans whether doomsday comes or not.

Secured Wealth
Whether in the bank or held in a retirement account, most Americans feel that their life’s savings is relatively secure. At least they did until the last couple of years when de-banking, geopolitical turmoil, and the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies reared their ugly heads.
It behooves Americans to diversify their holdings. If there’s a triggering event or series of events that cripple the financial systems or devalue the U.S. Dollar, wealth can evaporate quickly. To hedge against potential turmoil, many Americans are looking in two directions: Crypto and physical precious metals.
There are huge advantages to cryptocurrencies, but there are also inherent risks because “virtual” money can become challenging to spend. Add in the push by central banks and governments to regulate or even replace cryptocurrencies with their own versions they control and the risks amplify. There’s nothing wrong with cryptocurrencies today but things can change rapidly.
As for physical precious metals, many Americans pay cash to keep plenty on hand in their safe. Rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs is also a popular option, but there are caveats. It can often take weeks or even months to get the gold and silver shipped if the owner chooses to close their account. This is why Genesis Gold Group stands out. Their relationship with the depositories allows for rapid closure and shipping, often in less than 10 days from the time the account holder makes their move. This can come in handy if things appear to be heading south.
Lots of Potable Water
One of the biggest shocks that hit new preppers is understanding how much potable water they need in order to survive. Experts claim one gallon of water per person per day is necessary. Even the most conservative estimates put it at over half-a-gallon. That means that for a family of four, they’ll need around 120 gallons of water to survive for a month if the taps turn off and the stores empty out.
Being near a fresh water source, whether it’s a river, lake, or well, is a best practice among experienced preppers. It’s necessary to have a water filter as well, even if the taps are still working. Many refuse to drink tap water even when there is no emergency. Berkey was our previous favorite but they’re under attack from regulators so the Alexapure systems are solid replacements.
For those in the city or away from fresh water sources, storage is the best option. This can be challenging because proper water storage containers take up a lot of room and are difficult to move if the need arises. For “bug in” situations, having a larger container that stores hundreds or even thousands of gallons is better than stacking 1-5 gallon containers. Unfortunately, they won’t be easily transportable and they can cost a lot to install.
Water is critical. If chaos erupts and water infrastructure is compromised, having a large backup supply can be lifesaving.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies
There are multiple threats specific to the medical supply chain. With Chinese and Indian imports accounting for over 90% of pharmaceutical ingredients in the United States, deteriorating relations could make it impossible to get the medicines and antibiotics many of us need.
Stocking up many prescription medications can be hard. Doctors generally do not like to prescribe large batches of drugs even if they are shelf-stable for extended periods of time. It is a best practice to ask your doctor if they can prescribe a larger amount. Today, some are sympathetic to concerns about pharmacies running out or becoming inaccessible. Tell them your concerns. It’s worth a shot. The worst they can do is say no.
If your doctor is unwilling to help you stock up on medicines, then Jase Medical is a good alternative. Through telehealth, they can prescribe daily meds or antibiotics that are shipped to your door. As proponents of medical freedom, they empathize with those who want to have enough medical supplies on hand in case things go wrong.
Energy Sources
The vast majority of Americans are locked into the grid. This has proven to be a massive liability when the grid goes down. Unfortunately, there are no inexpensive remedies.
Those living off-grid had to either spend a lot of money or effort (or both) to get their alternative energy sources like solar set up. For those who do not want to go so far, it’s still a best practice to have backup power sources. Diesel generators and portable solar panels are the two most popular, and while they’re not inexpensive they are not out of reach of most Americans who are concerned about being without power for extended periods of time.
Natural gas is another necessity for many, but that’s far more challenging to replace. Having alternatives for heating and cooking that can be powered if gas and electric grids go down is important. Have a backup for items that require power such as manual can openers. If you’re stuck eating canned foods for a while and all you have is an electric opener, you’ll have problems.
Don’t Forget the Protein
When most think about “prepping,” they think about their food supply. More Americans are turning to gardening and homesteading as ways to produce their own food. Others are working with local farmers and ranchers to purchase directly from the sources. This is a good idea whether doomsday comes or not, but it’s particularly important if the food supply chain is broken.
Most grocery stores have about one to two weeks worth of food, as do most American households. Grocers rely heavily on truckers to receive their ongoing shipments. In a crisis, the current process can fail. It behooves Americans for multiple reasons to localize their food purchases as much as possible.
Long-term storage is another popular option. Canned foods, MREs, and freeze dried meals are selling out quickly even as prices rise. But one component that is conspicuously absent in shelf-stable food is high-quality protein. Most survival food companies offer low quality “protein buckets” or cans of meat, but they are often barely edible.
Prepper All-Naturals offers premium cuts of steak that have been cooked sous vide and freeze dried to give them a 25-year shelf life. They offer Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin among others.
Having buckets of beans and rice is a good start, but keeping a solid supply of high-quality protein isn’t just healthier. It can help a family maintain normalcy through crises.
Prepare Without Fear
With all the challenges we face as Americans today, it can be emotionally draining. Citizens are scared and there’s nothing irrational about their concerns. Being prepared and making lifestyle changes to secure necessities can go a long way toward overcoming the fears that plague us. We should hope and pray for the best but prepare for the worst. And if the worst does come, then knowing we did what we could to be ready for it will help us face those challenges with confidence.
