The Democrats and the media (please pardon the redundancy) claim that Donald Trump is a radical who would topple our democracy.

Last November CNN attempted to rev up the anti-Trumpers with an article portraying Trump as someone whose radical actions would include firing masses of federal bureaucrats and what Trump calls “Marxist” prosecutors as well as rounding up illegal immigrants to ready them for deportation.

The article also quotes Trump as saying he’d appoint a special prosecutor to go after Biden because he was the most corrupt president in history.

Taken literally, these policies don’t seem radical at all. Firing masses of federal bureaucrats would make the government more responsive to those elected to actually run it.

Any president can fire all the U.S. attorneys and replace them because it’s the president’s prerogative to fire people working for him in senate-confirmed positions. George W. Bush did just that in 2006 and the media were caterwauling then about injecting politics into the Justice Department. They were wrong then and would be just as wrong if Trump was reelected and did the same. (READ MORE from Jed Babbin: Iran’s Khamenei Threatens Israel … and the West)

More recently, the Dems — and their draft platform — label Trump a radical for his supposed backing of the Heritage Foundation’s “Project 2025,” which is an outline for a conservative government in Trump’s second term.

But Trump has conclusively rejected “Project 2025,” which says as much about his conservatism as the Democrats’ attempt to label him a radical.

The Oxford English Dictionary — of which I have two versions — defines a radical as someone “advocating complete political or social reform” or “representing or supporting an extreme or progressive section of a political party.”  That definition doesn’t fit Trump at all, but it does fit both Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

Remember, please, that in 2019 Harris was labeled the most liberal senator, a competition that included semi-Marxist Elizabeth Warren and comically-communist Bernie Sanders.

So far, Harris is trying to replay the Biden 2020 campaign by hiding from the media. Why not? A basement campaign got Biden elected by not saying anything much except that he wasn’t Donald Trump.  Nevertheless it’s fair to judge how far left Harris and Walz are by their current and past  actions.

Harris’s biggest fault is the Biden-Harris open border immigration crisis that she helped cause. It has brought between 10 and 22 million illegal aliens into this country. Harris is not just a radical on this issue, she’s what would normally be called a fanatic.

On August 10, Harris said that she’d not only back amnesty for those illegals: she promised to sign legislation that would give them a path to citizenship, which means the right to vote. Harris said, “We know our immigration system is broken and we know what it takes to fix it: comprehensive reform. That includes strong border security and an earned pathway to citizenship.”

No person who has broken our law to enter the nation illegally should ever be granted citizenship.

And then there’s Harris’s fondness for Biden’s “woke” ideology that has been a disaster for our society generally and our military specifically.

In 2017, Harris said, “We have to stay woke. Like everybody needs to be woke. And you can talk about if you’re the wokest or woker, but just stay more woke than less woke.” If you can make sense out of that word salad, you can see that Harris is totally dedicated to the “woke” ideology that divides, not unites, and attempts to justify everything from her selection as vice president (Biden admitted in April that she was a “diversity” hire) to transgender people serving in the military.

As Kim Strassel makes clear in the Wall Street Journal  Harris is a radical. She was the first to co-sponsor Bernie Sanders’s Medicare reform to basically prohibit private health insurance and then fumbled back from that position to make it entirely unclear what she would do.

In 2019, Harris said she would ban fracking for oil but said recently that she wouldn’t.  That same year she backed the “Green New Deal,” which included a federal jobs guarantee among its many bad ideas. Harris has always backed Biden’s “climate change” policies including his attacks on our oil industry. She helped Biden preside over the ban on the Keystone Pipeline which would have brought cheap Canadian oil to the U.S. market.

Harris was silent when Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal killed 13 U.S. servicemen and left hundreds of Americans and American allies to the mercies of the Taliban. She is at least partially responsible for the latest State Department screwup which sent $239 million in counterterrorism funding to the Taliban.

We know that Harris backed the bailing out of violent Minnesota rioters who did much destruction in light of the George Floyd death in police custody.

And then there’s Biden’s plan to overhaul the Supreme Court. Harris supports his effort to create term limits for Supreme Court justices and impose an “ethics code” on the court. Neither of which cannot be done without a fundamental amendment to the Constitution which requires that the justices serve during “good behavior.”

Harris and Biden want to guarantee a liberal Supreme Court. That should be enough to vote against her in November.

All of that is proof positive that Harris, not Trump, is a radical progressive. And then there’s “Tampon Tim” Walz.

Walz is justifiably infamous for pushing and signing Minnesota legislation that put free tampons in boys’ bathrooms. You can imagine what boys did with them. Wearing them stuck in their ears and up their noses comes readily to mind. (READ MORE: What’s Next for Biden and Harris?)

Walz is also justifiably infamous for claiming he’d reached a military rank he never achieved and for quitting the Minnesota National Guard when they were ordered to Iraq. (Last week the Harris campaign changed his official governor’s bio to correct his military rank.)

But as Breitbart News reported, retired Army command master sergeant Doug Julin said that Walz knew for months — well before he quit the Minnesota National Guard supposedly to run for Congress — that they were deploying to Iraq. Walz literally ran away from his duty.

As bad if not worse is what Walz told an MSNBC interviewer in 2022 about freedom of speech. He said, “There’s no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech, and especially around our democracy.”  He wants to suppress or punish speech that’s politically inconvenient for Democrats and clearly doesn’t understand that the First Amendment guarantees free speech whether he agrees with it or not.

Walz also signed into law the strongest transgender protection bill in the country and the strongest pro-abortion bill in the country.

It’s long past time to label Harris a radical progressive. Walz deserves the same. Let’s stick that label on them and not let people forget it.
