"A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle, but she better be prepared to suck some politically connected d*ck if she wants a shot at being president."
I think I saw that on a t-shirt, I could be wrong.

Slept her way to power.
Just perfect for the Dems. The central 2020 argument is that Trump is an immoral man and they run a woman who ascended to political power through her bedroom relationship with a powerful married man 30 years her senior.

Will the Obama machine sit back and watch a 36-way fist fight, cat fight, or will they jump in and back someone like Ms. Harris?

Harris: Young Black Men Jailed for Selling Pot Should Be ‘the First in Line’ for Legal Weed Jobs — ‘They Were Ahead of the Curve’

On Wednesday, MSNBC played a clip of 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) discussing marijuana policy at the “She the People” presidential forum in Houston.
When asked about the “gentrification” of the legal marijuana industry, Harris said, “Invariably a lot of the people who historically who were arrested for marijuana sales were young men, young men of color. And so isn’t that the irony of it all? That now this is one of the fastest growing money-making industries in our country and the very young men who were trying to make money doing the same thing, but got criminalized and have now been branded felons for life are excluded from the economic opportunities that are now available because of this new industry.”
She continued, “There have to be policies in place and look at the background and actually do the work of saying some of those young men should be first in line to get the jobs that are available. And that their felony convictions should not be the barrier to them having employment in an industry they were a part of before it was an industry.”
She added, “They were ahead of the curve.”
-
One Alphonse Capone was way ahead of the curve on the end of prohibition! Visionary!
Kamel-toe sure didn’t hesitate to prosecute those visionary young men she now advocates for.
-
Let not our hostility to her blind us to the fact that nonetheless, this is an appealing point and articulation for her.
The underlying momentum is for marijuana.
No doubt the pendulum will swing too far; that is the nature of things.
But the noise Trump is making recently sounds like a politically fading version of former AG Sessions. The right play for Trump is to say it should not be a federal issue and should be left to the laboratory of democracy.

The Prosecutor Who Can’t Make Up Her Mind
Kamala Harris reverses herself surprisingly often on matters at the core of her professional life.
By Harmeet K. Dhillon

Should the surviving Boston Marathon bomber be allowed to vote from prison? It sounds like an easy question, but it wasn’t for California Sen. Kamala Harris at a CNN town hall April 22. “I have been long an advocate of making sure that the formerly incarcerated are not denied a right to vote,” she answered. When host Don Lemon tried to pin her down on whether Dzhokhar Tsarnaev should be allowed to vote, she said: “I think we should have that conversation.”
The next day she changed her mind. After saying at a press conference that the question was “complex” and she planned to “talk to experts” about it, she added: “Do I think that people who commit murder, people who are terrorists should be deprived of their rights? Yeah, I do. I’m a prosecutor.”

It won’t be the first awkward flip-flop for Ms. Harris, who served six years as California’s attorney general before her election to the Senate in 2016. Already her experience as the state’s top law-enforcement officer is proving to be stumbling block in the presidential nomination contest for a party increasingly antagonistic toward police, traditional norms and the justice system.
When Ms. Harris ran for San Francisco district attorney in 2003, she positioned herself as tough on crime, a more reasonable alternative to the extremely progressive incumbent, Terence Hallinan. She won with support from police, victim advocates and even Republicans. But she disappointed them a few months after taking office by refusing to pursue the death penalty for a man who killed San Francisco police officer Isaac Espinoza. In 2008 she made a show of deliberating for months before deciding not to seek the death penalty for MS-13 gang member Edwin Ramos, who was convicted of a triple murder.
Now that Ms. Harris has set her sights on the White House, she’s been distancing herself from other, tougher aspects of her record as district attorney and attorney general. She cracked down on truancy by criminally prosecuting 25 parents; now she plays down the effort by insisting that “no one went to jail.” She once scoffed at decriminalizing prostitution; she now supports it. As district attorney, she worked to increase bail in San Francisco; she now favors the abolition of bail in favor of computerized risk-assessment programs—although many progressive activists have derided those as racially biased.
As district attorney, she publicly supported then-Mayor Gavin Newsom’s policy of reporting juvenile criminal suspects believed to be in the U.S. illegally to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Now she wants to abolish ICE and “start from scratch,” whatever that means. She opposed legalization of marijuana when she ran for attorney general in 2010 and avoided the question during her 2014 re-election campaign. Now she supports legalizing recreational marijuana use because it “brings people joy.” In a February radio interview, she even jokingly acknowledged having smoked weed in her youth: “Half my family is Jamaican—are you kidding me?”
Politicians change their minds all the time, either out of expedience or after learning more. What’s odd about Ms. Harris’s flip-flops is that so many of them relate to her core professional experience. She wasn’t a public defender or prison-reform advocate. She worked in criminal justice for more than two decades and was chief law-enforcement officer in America’s most populous state. Now she seems to be abandoning, or at least rethinking, many of the principles that have guided her life’s work.
Ms. Harris’s positions as a prosecutor are out of step with her party’s increasingly radical ideas about social and racial justice. It’s predictable that she’d try to pander to progressives, who are paying more attention than anyone else at this stage of the contest. But the sheer volume of her about-faces makes her seem unusually disingenuous. If she isn’t going to stand by her decades of history as a prosecutor, what does she stand for? And what would she stand for as president?
Ms. Dhillon is a San Francisco trial lawyer and vice president of the Republican National Lawyers Association.

Kamala Harris Has a Plan to Close the 'Gender Pay Gap'—and It's Completely Unworkable
https://pjmedia.com/trending/kamala-harris-has-a-plan-to-close-the-gender-pay-gap-thats-entirely-unworkable/
One Day After Announcing Wage Gap Plan, Report Shows Men Are Paid More Than Women in Kamala Harris’ Office
https://ijr.com/report-shows-men-are-paid-more-than-women-in-kamala-harris-office/
The penalties outlined by Harris’ team include a fine of 1% of the company’s profits for every 1% of a “wage gap” that exists.
Unfortunately for women in Harris’ Senate office, the total compensation gap for her staff is 94 cents on the dollar. According to a report from the Washington Free Beacon, the median male salary disbursement was $34,999 and the median female salary disbursement was $32,999.

I guess she's lucky her Senate office has no profits.

More stiffing the little guy from haughty Kamala Harris
By Monica Showalter
As we've said more than once, Kamala Harris has an authenticity problem.
This characterization, from Thomas Lifson last month, pretty well sums her up every time a Kamala Harris story comes to light:
Kamala Harris is scary in her pathological ambition, moral flexibility, comfort with deception, and sheer ruthlessness.
So here's a new one, from California watcher Susan Crabtree at RealClearPolitics, reporting Harris's soapboxing at the second presidential debate:
“So in my background as attorney general of California, I took on the big banks who preyed on the homeowners, many of whom lost their homes and will never be able to buy another,” Harris said in late July during the second round of Democratic debates in Detroit.
Here's what really happened:
In fact, she and several other state attorneys general were instrumental in negotiating a $25 billion national settlement with five of the top U.S. mortgage lenders to provide debt relief and other financial services to struggling homeowners. But in 2012, just months after Harris secured those funds along with the other state AGs, then-California Gov. Jerry Brown diverted $331 million from California’s portion of the settlement to pay off state budget shortfalls incurred before the housing crisis.
Although Harris initially spoke out against Brown’s diversion of the funds, she remained silent on a subsequent court battle that began in 2014 – even after she left the attorney general’s office and for the last year and a half while serving as senator and during her presidential bid this year.
Which is pretty outrageous. Harris shook down some banks in the name of "the people" and then like a crooked lawyer, didn't give the "winnings" to the clients. Whoever got wronged in this mortgage-lending mess didn't see a penny of the won cash. It all just went to other Democrat priorities within the one-party state.
Sound like the kind of lawyer you'd want to have if you got stiffed in some bank deal? Whatever this is, it's not the doing of the consumer advocate she's now painting herself to be.
Any more than she's the prison-rights advocate she claims to be - she threw thousands of them in jail for petty offenses during her time as State Attorney General, kept people in jail beyond their sentences in order to retain them to fight fires, and refused to disavow false testimony from prosecutorial misconduct that would have freed prisoners. She's never been about the little guy.
The mortgage-payout story shows two distasteful things about Harris.
One, she plays the old California political machine game (it probably happens in other crooked one-party states, too) of amassing a vast pot of money for one purpose, a virtue-signaling purpose, a purpose that press releases can be released on, and political campaign speeches can be made ... and then spending the same pile of cash on something thing else, something far less salable to the voters, something that will cover up spending mismanagement or fatten pensions. In California, this game is gotten away with all the time. Gas tax is approved by voters to improve roads ... and ends up bankrolling bureaucrat and administrative hiring sprees. Federal stimulus money is shoveled into the state for shovel-ready bridges and road improvements --- and goes to cover municipal budget holes brought on by mismanagement. Voters approve bond measures in the name of hiring teachers and getting more school supplies for kids in education -- and it goes to educrat pensions and union siphon-offs. Harris is comfortable operating that way in taking on the big banks, shaking them down -- and just letting the money head elsewhere.
Two, she's still the teacher's pet of Democrats, the sidling, sucking-up, get-along-to-go-along, slept-her-way-to-the-top errand girl the more powerful Democrats like. Crabtree reports that Harris first protested the diversion of the funds, and then went silent. Why would she do that? Obviouly, she heard from more powerful Democrats, the kind who could make or break her career. An Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez-style boat-rocker she was not. The money was won, the cash was collected, the whole thing went to the government instead of the little guys, and she went along.
Which pretty well tells us what kind of leader she would be if heaven forbid she should win the presidency. In winning the money and then allowing it to be diverted, she failed the little guys she now says she was serving. And with that, she shows she's never been about serving the people, she's about obeying the greater interests of the Democratic political machine. No wonder she's so popular in those circles - she's been kowtowing to these rich and powerful since the dawn of her career. For voters, the real message, as she vows to take over their health care, hand out reparations to black people, and offer free stuff for votes is clear: That the cash she promises isn't going to get anywhere near the little guys. Not even the illegal immigrants she's promising free health care for can believe her.
-
By my calculation, 5% of Democrats = 2% of voters. Depending on who you ask, she was the one to watch this summer. People watched but didn't like.
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2020/president/us/2020_democratic_presidential_nomination-6730.html
She had her big moment in the first debate but it turned out to be all drama and no substance. She had another moment in the second debate where the spotlight was put on her record. The accusations turned out to be true and substantive. Her response to it was to attack the person of the attacker. She did not address the substance of the charge. Very Trump-like. https://www.lucianne.com/2019/08/02/kamala_harris_stooped_lowbrto_smear_tulsi_gabbardbrafter_getting_taken-downbrby_her_in_presidential_debate_11449.html
It begs the question, do Dems motivated by hatred of Trump for his personal qualities they see as vile want to beat him by choosing the candidate with those same qualities? Doesn't Trump win that contest? Don't Dems lose either way if they truly hate those qualities. Maybe yes given they are currently drifting away from Harris.
-
Even though she may be irrelevant at this point I didn't want this to go undocumented in our threads:
Michael Brown’s murder forever changed Ferguson and America. His tragic death sparked a desperately needed conversation and a nationwide movement. We must fight for stronger accountability and racial equity in our justice system.
— Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) August 9, 2019
Ummm, Michael Brown wasn't murdered and reckless, hateful tweets are what I thought you twits are running against.
Citing left wing Vox citing the Obama administration to admonish her:
But the Justice Department’s 2015 report contradicted many of the protesters’ claims, finding that Wilson likely did have reason to fear for his life and didn’t violate the law in shooting Brown. The Warren and Harris campaigns did not return requests for comment.
https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/8/12/20801975/elizabeth-warren-kamala-harris-michael-brown-ferguson-tweets
Who will call the hateful gals out on this in the upcoming Dem debate?

Yes, good to note that she joined Forked Tongue in this scurrilous race baiting lie.

Amazing that the Democratic former Attorney General of California does not have any trust in the Democratic Justice Department of the far Left Obama administration. Who else doesn't she trust?
The rush to judgment in the aftermath of that incident before the facts came out was reckless. I don't know what to call the refusal to look at the facts after they came out. At the least, someone who never should have been state AG or US Senator much less a future President. Maybe someone on the debate stage can knock these two down a few notches with this.

Still in single digits in every poll I've seen - among Democrats - far below bumbling Joe, mad Bernie and Feuxcahantas, people thought she had more potential but she keeps showing she is not quick on her feet or ready for prime time.
The latest screwup:
The questioner, wondering why congressional Democrats have declined to move forward on impeachment proceedings, asked Harris what she was "going to do in the next one year to diminish the mentally retarded actions" by Trump. The crowd cheered prompting Harris to laugh and say, "well said, ha, ha, ha, well said."
But "mentally retarded" is a phrase no longer allowed in civilized, liberal-speak, especially to describe real challenges or to denigrate someone who is not mentally retarded, like a billionaire graduate of Wharton elected President of the United States whose policies you disagree with. From a Trump derangement point of view, that is a slam on the mentally retarded.
24 hours later, the Harris defense is that the man's use of the phrase was "not something that I really heard or processed."
What? She responded: "Well said, ha, ha, ha, well said", to something she didn't really hear or process?? How can that be? He was at the front of the room, with her, on microphone and speaker, and she was looking right at him and laughed with the group.
And they think Trump is the dunce.
Now she lectures us on the use of that kind of description is bad; "in the year 2019, people should know it's hurtful."
Fair enough. It was hurtful. If she knew that, then her lack of awareness on the stump is making Biden, Warren, Bernie [and Trump] look good.
Good luck trying to deny and unsay what is on camera and microphone in a small room of paid supporters, reporters and audio visual people. The tape is out:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OStBltmvoD8
That symbolizes the problem with all of them. Instead of being ready to call out their own side for all the over-the-top comments, ideas and policies, from impeachment to Russian collusion to climate crisis to Brett Kavanaugh is a gang rapist to single payer and stay focused, they instead are eager to match them and raise them with more retarded words and ideas

Slept with Willie Brown, 30 years her senior, now 85, in her 30s, the most powerful Democratic politician in the state. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2019/01/27/willie-brown-kamala-harris-san-francisco-chronicle-letter/2695143002/ That is exactly how she got her start. No one believed she was qualified for her first appointments and her work as Calif AG is not surviving scrutiny.
Nothing says women's rights like sleeping your way to the top.
It's not like she's a constitutional scholar (impeach without evidence of a crime?) or leader on anything else except being a drama queen.

"former California attorney general Kamala Harris launched an investigation into the work of citizen journalists and abortion activists David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt, who discovered Planned Parenthood’s trafficking of aborted baby body parts."
Don't they have 'whistleblower' protections in the people's republic of California?
"trafficking of aborted baby body parts" is a particularly heinous, organized crime. Only politics and money can explain why this public official pursued the discoverers of the crime instead of the perpetrators. There is no math, science or history that indicates electing Democrats would move us away from corruption.

https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2019/10/03/kamala-harris-homelessness-bill-california/
Kamala Harris calls for more federal funds to end chronic homelessness
California senator's bill would add supportive and transitional housing and emergency shelters to get people off the streets
---------------
Econ 101: Putting more financial rewards into homelessness will get you more homelessness. A tax on homelessness is what would alleviate the problem.
Not to mention the contradiction of federal funds to fight state and local problems.
California has a state budget of $300 billion dollars not counting solar mandates etc. If this is a priority, why not shake loose some of those dollars? Or raise taxes!
One cause of rampant homelessness in California is the year round good weather. A home, exponentially more expensive because of state and local laws, is not essential for shelter, especially when the urination and defecation rights on city sidewalks are free and legal.

Kamala Harris is not turning out to be the candidate that some people thought. When they say single digits, they mean among Democrats. She trails in her own state, and everywhere else.
Like Klobuchar, I don't happen to believe Harris was a top prosecutor. I think they were political figureheads that were responsible for a team of prosecutors.
As one of their competitors might say, Kamala Harris, you didn't build that.

They ask why her campaign unraveled but when was it anything else? What new did she bring to the contest? Nothing. She sounded nasally, entitled, condescending and sarcastic, not the least bit inspiring. Like the others, she comes into it having accomplished nothing. What can you accomplish when your goal and your strategy is to divide? What should she touted in her background; there's nothing of substance there. In the Senate she took on Sessions and Kavanaugh - and lost. Believing women who make up bad stuff against men doesn't advance the cause of women. Making abortion easy isn't helping women either.
We thought she might be the next Obama but she wasn't. To be fair, he couldn't pull that off again either.

it is easy to turn this around and give Harris a lesson
perhaps 1/3 of city budgets to police are in areas where there are high crime rates
oh they just need better schools (all run by democrats and teachers unions). more health care (how about.a freer more transparent healthy care market ?), more jobs ( did not Trump give these people more jobs? more than any democrat ever did ?)
same old Democrat lines - more money for this for that for more for everything
how has that worked in the past lifetime ?
these same cities are nearly all run by your party harris

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2020/08/12/joe_bidens_awful_vice_presidential_pick_143939.html
Harris is deeply radical. She endorsed "Medicare for All" while announcing that she would move Americans away from their private health care plans; she announced in open debate that she would use executive orders to ban "assault weapons"; she said she would ban fracking; she attacked Justice Brett Kavanaugh as a purported rapist and Judge Brian Buescher for his Catholicism. Harris is unpopular with many black Americans: As a prosecutor, she was fond of pursuing heavy sentences for light charges, as well as civil asset forfeiture -- and then she bragged about smoking marijuana during her campaign. Harris has similarly alienated moderates, attacking Biden himself as a vicious racist for his unwillingness to support forced school busing in the 1970s, and suggesting that she believed Biden's sexual harassment accusers. There is a reason Harris utterly flamed out in the primaries, aside from her bizarre habit of breaking into a Joker-esque whoop when asked difficult questions.
Nothing about Harris screams nonthreatening. In fact, in her Machiavellian campaign manipulations, she appeared deeply threatening -- threatening enough that Biden campaign adviser Chris Dodd reportedly wondered why Harris "had no remorse" for her opportunistic and dishonest attacks on Biden. At the very least, Biden should hire a food taster.
In selecting Harris, Biden has opened the door to the Trump campaign. And Trump should take full advantage. Biden's alleged moderation means nothing if he is willing to place Kamala Harris one heartbeat from the presidency. Biden's entire campaign strategy has now been undercut -- all in a vain attempt to please the Twitterati, who will remain pleased for precisely seven seconds. Trump should be ecstatic. The race is on. And that's all on Biden.

she already has the joker like 24/7 grin

And some other debate exchanges:
Kamala: "cleaning up the mess you [Biden] made when you were in the US Senate!"
TULSI GABBARD: I want to bring the conversation back to the broken criminal justice system that is disproportionately negatively impacting black and brown people all across this country today. Now Senator Harris says she's proud of her record as a prosecutor and that she'll be a prosecutor president.
But I'm deeply concerned about this record. There are too many examples to cite but she put over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana.
She blocked evidence -- she blocked evidence that would have freed an innocent man from death row until the courts forced her to do so. She kept people in prison beyond their sentences to use them as cheap labor for the state of California.
And she fought to keep ...
TAPPER: Thank you, Congresswoman.
GABBARD: Bail system in place that impacts poor people in the worst kind of way.

The point of all these squad members winning Democrat primaries is that they have already taken over the Democrat party. Biden was once a moderate of sorts. What's left of him is not and neither are his handlers or his agenda. Picking a VP is his biggest decision yet, and he picked the 4th most Left member of the very radical Left side of the Senate. Kamala, and Biden now too, want to ban all private health insurance in their quest to implement "single payer". They will ban the automobile as we know in the zeal to ban fracking and end the use of fossil fuels. Their embrace of the AOC written Green New Deal means you don't get to decide how to heat your home or whether to cool it. THEY will decide for you. Socialism means coercion and these two are fully on board. Kamala hates Israel - like Omar, Tlaib, AOC. Biden is soft on China - just like they wrongly projected Trump would be on Russia. This election isn't about how Kamala slept her way into power or Joe being senile or neither having remorse when they destroy the innocent in their ends justify means world, cf. Clarence Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh. That's just bad character revealing itself. Their real problem is far-Leftism, which is oppressive, coercive, dishonest and aims to destroy our country and all our liberties. That's why we don't want them in power.
Kamala said she sides with the protesters, the 'mostly peaceful' protesters, and wants to change this country - away from the way it was founded. Kamala and Biden are political clones of AOC, Omar. Kamala is KOC and the ticket is BKOC, Biden Kamala Ocasio Cortez. There's no daylight between them.

I just thought of another first
another "glass ceiling" she could smash with flying colors (no pun intended)
she is 5'2 " tall .
she would by far, be the shortest president when Joe is declared by the LEFT to be too senile to function
which AFTER he wins they will do - what amendment is that?
I am dancing grinning smirking - another first - the first really short president.
Who is so far the shortest , I think James Monroe , or was it Madison?

Getting to Know Kamala Harris
How Biden’s running mate blocked a hospital rescue to help the SEIU.
By The Editorial Board
Aug. 12, 2020 7:09 pm ET
In choosing Kamala Harris, Joe Biden ticked all the boxes his party demanded: a progressive, minority woman who could succeed him as president in 2024—if not sooner. Image: AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris made their first appearances as a campaign ticket on Wednesday, and Americans still know little about the running mate who may be President sooner rather than later. One way to fill in the gap is to inspect Ms. Harris’s record as California’s Attorney General, and one revealing episode is the way she used her power to blow up a deal to rescue struggling Catholic hospitals.
The saga started in 2014 when for-profit Prime Healthcare Services made an $843 million bid for six insolvent hospitals operated by the Catholic Daughters of Charity Health System. The hospitals had been bleeding cash for years due to inflexible labor contracts and miserly Medicaid payments.
Prime Healthcare was the only bidder that agreed to assume Daughters’ $300 million liability for worker pensions, and it scored high on the bidding criteria that included financial wherewithal and service quality. Nurses, physicians and the public supported the deal.
But the Service Employees International Union-United Healthcare Workers West (SEIU-UHW), which represented 2,000 hospital workers at Daughters, opposed Prime’s takeover because the company refused to sign a neutrality agreement that would let them organize all of Prime’s hospitals. Only four of Prime’s 15 hospitals in California at the time were unionized.
California’s Attorney General must approve nonprofit hospital acquisitions, and Ms. Harris attached dozens of poison pills to the deal. They included requiring 24-hour nursing, surgery, anesthesia, laboratory, radiology and pharmacies for five years and mandating that hospitals offer an additional 12 to 18 “essential services” such as orthopedics for 10 years. These conditions were unprecedented.
Prime walked away from the deal and sued Ms. Harris for violating its due-process rights. According to the lawsuit, Daughters’ executives had told Prime that Ms. Harris would block the sale “or require financially crippling approval conditions” if Prime did not reach an agreement with the union. The lawsuit alleges that in return the union promised to support her with $25 million in political contributions.
Ms. Harris denied the accusations, and a federal judge in 2017 ruled that she had “qualified immunity”—the doctrine that shields public officials from liability for violations of constitutional liberties. This is ironic since Ms. Harris earlier this summer introduced a resolution in the Senate to abolish qualified immunity for police officers.
Later in 2015 Ms. Harris approved the Daughters’ hospital sale to the BlueMountain Capital hedge fund for $260 million including $160 million in debt. The SEIU supported that deal. While imposing similar conditions on BlueMountain as on Prime, Ms. Harris allowed the hedge fund to operate the hospitals as tax-exempt nonprofits for several years.
Yet burdened by debt and expensive collective-bargaining agreements, the hospital chain declared bankruptcy in August 2018 and was put up for sale. The federal Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. assumed its pension obligations and slashed payments to workers and retirees. Two hospitals were sold to local governments for a pittance.
The state government this year leased two others that had been on the verge of closing in order to ensure ample hospital capacity to treat Covid-19 patients. Prime this spring offered to buy another, but the SEIU again objected to the takeover and refused to renegotiate its existing collective-bargaining agreements.
A bankruptcy judge recently said the SEIU had rejected Prime’s proposals "without good cause.” The judge said the hospital “would not continue to operate as a going concern, and all of the [union] represented employees would lose their jobs” unless the labor agreements were renegotiated. Ms. Harris’s successor as AG, Xavier Becerra, approved Prime’s acquisition last month.
Hospital workers, patients and taxpayers paid a fearsome price for Ms. Harris’s intervention on behalf of the SEIU. As troubling was Ms. Harris’s use of her authority to help a political supporter and punish a business she didn’t like. She was in the vanguard of the new progressive state AGs who use prosecutorial power against opponents. Watch for this in the Harris Administration in 2025, if not sooner.

“It shows her objectiveness and skill. And I think many people saw that — part of why that [went] viral is because people are impressed.”
2). “I think she was one of the most effective questioners,” said Daniel Goldberg, the legal director for the Alliance for Justice Action Campaign. “And really, if you look back at her questioning of Brett Kavanaugh,” he told Yahoo News, “what’s stunning is how prescient she was.”
I thought Justice Kavanaugh kicked her ass frankly:

Peggy Noonan notes the "rise of Kamala Harris". Scott Johnson of powerline picks out a few negative comments that tell the story better:
https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2020/08/high-noonan-2.php
Mark Pulliam:
Thin gruel from Peggy Noonan. If Kamala Harris is so smart, why did the daughter of a Stanford professor, whose parents both got graduate degrees at UC Berkeley, end up at Howard? Hastings is a second-tier law school, well below Stanford, Berkeley, UCLA, and even USC. Failing the bar exam shows a lack of smarts. No mention of Willie Brown? Sugar coating her controversial tenure in California? WSJ readers interested in “the rest of the story” should check out my profile of Harris [“The next Obama”] in the Winter 2016 issue of City Journal.
https://www.city-journal.org/html/next-obama-14181.html
Fred Scott:
The rise of Harris is a true LOL. With the Democrats identity politics she started the presidential campaign 100 yard dash at the 50 yard mark. She wasn’t 5 yards in the race when she pulled up grasping for air pulling out after polling at a horrible 2%. Hilarious how the media including the WSJ’s job now is to try to convince America that someone in the Senate to the left of Bernie Sanders is a moderate. Democrats pick Harris who called her running mate racist during the national debate and called her own party racist and sexist when she dropped out early after horrible polling numbers. She accepts the nomination from someone who when asked about Biden’s multiple accusers of physical assault was quoted as saying on April,3,2019 ” I believe them and I respect them being able to tell their story and having the courage to do it.”
Elise Nappi:
This reads like a press release written by someone who has never worked for Harris, since rumor has it she doesn’t have too many fans among her underlings, but by a sycophant. To say that Harris “didn’t do well” in the primary is being overly kind. When she exited, she was polling at 2% nationally and 7% in her home state. “An excellent performer of politics”? Are you kidding me? Is that what she was doing when she viciously attacked Justice Kavanaugh during his Senate Confirmation hearings?

Nothing relates to suburban women that you're one of them like being a never-married (until very recently) woman who raised no children, who got her start in her twenties sleeping with a disgusting, powerful old man who paid her with BMWs, commission appointments etc .
Kamala said her 'kids' call her" Momala". Cute, but they see her as Dad's wife, not as their mother. Both are young adults now.
I don't get the categorization technique that Kamala Harris is "black". To the untrained eye, she looks closer to white than black, even though her other side is from India. But she (apparently) identifIES black, whatever the hell that means. Like she chooses black culture, hangs around with blacks, but she Finally married, she picked white and her kids are white. She is of mixed race, not black. If we must track these things, don't lie.
If being a black woman is such an obstacle to overcome, how come she plays that card at every turn - to her advantage?
Wouldn't you think it's the opponents who would say she was picked only because of her race and gender, but it's her side that keeps saying it, "historic". Historic for what? Lots of people in lots of states rose to be state attorney general and or US Senator. It's historic only because of gender and race. No one says she was the best AG ever or in the nation, or offered arguments as to why one might think that. You could say it's a big deal because it's California, the biggest state, but that of course forgets this an electoral college contest and California is among the least important states.
------------------------------
Regarding the previous post, her "natural born citizenship" status is very interesting! I thought the argument was stupid until I read it. Her parents were immigrants, not her. But at the time of her birth, were they both citizens of other countries, studying in the US as foreigners? Did she become a citizen when her parents became citizens, perhaps after birth? Another case of 2020 uncharted waters. Just being physically born here defining citizenship brings up a divisive current issue the US Supreme Court has not ruled on. No one is going to touch that with a 10 foot pole - right now. As PatriotPost concludes, there are plenty of better ways to attack a Biden-Harris ticket.
However, if they win, if Republicans flip the House, if Joe dies or must leave, and if the next in line, Speaker of the House, is from the opposing party ... this will come up.

"served as San Francisco district attorney from 2004-2011, and then as California attorney general from 2011 to 2017, and never brought a single documented case forward against an abusive priest."
https://spectator.org/why-didnt-kamala-harris-prosecute-abusive-priests/
Peter Schweitzer: According to San Francisco election financial disclosures, high-dollar donations to Harris’s campaign began to roll in from those connected to the Catholic Church institutional hierarchy. Harris had no particular ties to the Catholic Church or Catholic organizations, but the money still came in large, unprecedented sums.
Harris received money from Church fixer Joseph Russoniello and the law firm Cooley Godward, where he served as partner. Harris tapped Russoniello for her advisory board. “Another law firm, Bingham McCutcheon, which handled legal matters for the archdiocese concerning Catholic Charities, donated $2,825, the maximum allowed.” Arguedas, Cassman & Headley, which was representing a priest in an abuse case at the time, also donated $4,550 to Harris. “The lawyer in the case, Cristina Arguedas, also served on Kamala Harris’s advisory council”.
----------------------------
Hard on crime? Soft on crime? Depends on the donations. [It's all about the Benjamins, baby.]
I wonder if Catholic urban and suburban swing voter moms are for or against priest sexual abuse of children.

=====================
“There will be less violence if Joe Biden’s campaign stops bailing violent rioters out of jail.” —Senator Tom Cotton
-
"Kamala Harris and her friends in the corporate media, otherwise known as the propaganda arm of the Democratic Party, will pretend this never happened and they are counting on voters to be too ignorant to know that it did. Harris was so eager to be on the rioters’ team that she literally raised money for them in the hopes that they could be released and foster further mayhem.
That on its own would be bad enough. But the fact that she is now attempting to pretend she was against all of this violence, and looting, and arson, and destruction from the get go is an insulting joke."

Isn't it so remarkable
that both Biden got his ass whooped in the primaries
until all the others cancelled themselves out and then out of desperation they all came back around to senile old Joe
and Harris got her ass whooped because she was rambling, changing her positions faster then those at an orgy
and no one really liked her ;
not even the Dems wanted either one of them
and now he is the second on the ticket and she is first?

Yes. She won 0 delegates with 0.0% of the vote and now she is the change we have all been waiting for.

I'm no birther and Kamala was most certainly born in the US, but she was born to immigrants, so the question becomes, was one or were both citizens of the US when she was born, or were they both citizens of some other country making her an alleged natural born citizen only by the 'birthright' controversial interpretation of the 14th amendment?
Imagine Biden wins Presidency, Republicans take the House and Biden dies before inauguration and if Harris ruled ineligible, Kevin McCarthy becomes President?
https://www.thepostemail.com/2020/09/19/do-these-documents-answer-questions-about-kamala-harriss-eligibility/
When Kamala was 11 years old, Kamala's mother was a citizen of India. No mention of citizen of US.
When Kamala was 3 years old, her father was still a citizen of Jamaica applying for permanent resident status in the US.
Therefore, quoting the article:
Kamala declared her US citizenship as being based on “birth in the US” and not “through parents” in a sworn petition. Could this be interpreted as a legal admission that Kamala Harris is not a “natural born” citizen of the US (as is required for a Vice-President)?

I saw this on Youtube, good to see that John Hinderaker at Powerline is following up on it.
https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2020/12/happy-kwanzaa.php
How many Americans out there are cherishing their childhood memories of celebrating Kwanzaa with their families? A quick search leads to NPR saying 2% of Americans say they celebrate Kwanzaa. One followup question might reveal that 90% of those are lying.
My understanding is that black Americans are more Christian than whites. But whoever said Sen Kamala Harris is a black (or African) American.
Wikipedia says Kwanzaa celebrations began in the US, (not Africa).
Hinderaker points out Kwanzaa was invented by a man who served four years in prison for imprisoning and torturing two women, and also was implicated in, although not convicted of, multiple murders that were carried out by his henchmen.
Hinderaker on Harris: "Her patent lack of authenticity is a key reason why her presidential campaign crashed on takeoff, and she hasn’t become a more convincing story-teller in the time that has gone by since. Which is probably a good thing, given that she is likely to be president one of these days."
(Doug) It takes only seconds to tire of her voice and delivery on anything. I'm glad she's not our side's leader in waiting.

Flip flopper. I won't take a Trump vaccine rushed to market, oops yes I did.
When she wears the black colored mask, the contrast shows, IMHO, she is not black. Further on the politically incorrect observations I should not write, she did not have the self discipline to get in shape for the year she ran for President. I guess she wanted to put the look that she slept her way to power behind her.

Do you think CNN reporters will remind her of the racist violent history of it , and it was accelerated by the FBI in the 1960"s
that would surely wipe the freakin grin right off the dub shit face of hers?

Harris-Backed Bail Fund Freed Rioter Twice. He’s Now Charged With 3 New Felonies
Minneapolis man who was twice bailed out by a fund once supported by Vice President Kamala Harris has been arrested again and is facing three new felony charges while under investigation for a possible gun crime, Minnesota prosecutors said.
Thomas Moseley, 29, had previously been arrested and released for cases that involved damaging a police precinct in August as well as rioting in December, according to the Hennepin County’s Attorney Office.
Due to an incident that transpired after his most recent release, Moseley is now under investigation for allegedly attempting to purchase semi-automatic weapons from a gun store on both Jan. 7 and 12 using straw buyers
Another criminal complaint states that after Moseley was arrested in October, police obtained a search warrant for his truck after officers smelled marijuana. After a search officers uncovered marijuana, cocaine and psilocyn mushrooms. They also found several guns, numerous magazines, a hatchet, a crowbar and other miscellaneous items, according to the complaint.
In December, Moseley allegedly participated in a riot while armed with a knife, according to a separate criminal complaint.
https://www.hennepinattorney.org/news/news/2021/January/thomas-moseley-charged
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What did she think would happen when she intervened in the justice system on behalf of a known, violent criminal?
Impeach, convict, remove her from office as she poses a clear and imminent threat. Harris in June: "These [violent] riots will continue, and they should." No one should be arrested. Those arrested need to be freed! To commit more violence.
The American mainstream press is all over this, demanding her resignation, right?

Ok, one more on Kamala:
Harris was asked about the state’s coal industry. She reassured West Virginia coal miners that even if their jobs disappear under the Biden administration — and the implication was clear that they would disappear — mine workers could transfer their skills to new industries. She then listed several exciting new careers coal miners could consider. The first of these was, and I quote: “reclaiming abandoned land mines.”
According to Politico, she meant to say “abandoned mine lands,” not “abandoned land mines.” Well, okay. We all make mistakes. It’s just that someone familiar with mining terminology, or military terminology — and, you know, a lot of West Virginians are familiar with both — would probably not make that particular mistake.

Yes. Much more so than Biden who was chosen to represent a different wing of the Dem party.
Obama introduced Kamala as the best looking attorney general in the country.

He later said it was wrong to say that (after seeing Pam Bondi).
Kamala is an Obama clone regarding support for radical left policies, but not near his level on the subtleties of selling it to the center.

america not racist
but yet we need to speak "truth to power"
we have more in common they we do differences
sound familiar
is that not what Tim Scott said last night in speech
suddenly Harris changes her tune after yrs of being race hustler
suddenly she echoes "America first" sentiment that biden stole from Trump
all the while they are shoving down our throats a communist agenda
of course msm will block all republican linemen and linebackers from touching her and QB Biden
got to love her avoidance of the immigration tsunami with nonsense talk about route causes and this will take a long time to fix -
all the while claiming this should have been fixed long ago
and wanting it fixed
which we know she doesn't.

She should message better from the border? Message what? Gangs are in control. The Biden administration is AWOL. Covid and al Qaida are coming in. Law abiding immigrants are not. Kids in cages, don't have your picture taken with them.
Americans can't drive a boat to their own cabin on the Canadian side of a US lake to vacation, live or protect it from wildfire and smoke damage, but ANYBODY from ANYWHERE carrying ANY DISEASE can come into the US on the southern border ANYTIME they want. Message THAT better to the voters, you morons.

“This is a president who has an extraordinary amount of courage,” she said, regarding the decision. “He is someone, who I have seen over and over again, make decisions based on what he truly believes ... is the right thing to do.”
Harris said that Biden “is acutely aware that it may not be politically popular, or advantageous for him personally; it’s really something to see.”
That was THEN. -

She was focused on Haiti this weekend??
Fair enough. Go on camera and tell us what you accomplished in Haiti this weekend. Maybe some CNN, MSNBC can do some man, woman on the street interviews in Port-au-Prince and ask what US VP Kamala Harris did over the weekend to help their $2 per day per capita income.
What a (bad) joke. She took on Joe Biden as a racist as she tried to be President. Then she attached herself to him to try to be President. Now is first to flee the ship as he goes down. She is happy to be next in the line of succession while distancing herself from the failure the administration has become.
Shocking. She slept her way to her first level of power. Distanced herself from the guy she slept with and gave her BMW, some would call it prostitution. Positioned herself for the move up by trying to be tough on crime, even small crimes committed by guess who, people of color. Then distanced herself from that by leading the fundraising to let domestic terrorists out of jails and prisons while Minneapolis, Portland, Seattle burned, what Dems call safe states. And now this. She was his closest adviser (bullsh*t) and then oops, she was working on something else, not interested in the biggest disaster of our time.
Part of this comes back to media. One side gets softball powderpuff questions and governing experience in one party states where failure is accepted. The other side gets ruthlessly scrutinized over everything they do or don't do. Now Dems are shocked their leaders are weak and have never fought for or achieved anything of significance.

from Williamson article above :
"Harris is an identity-politics operator who has been given a portfolio that is not amenable to being filtered through that lens. Getting control of the border will take a complex effort demanding expertise in everything from national security and intelligence, to law and law enforcement, to diplomacy, to practical commercial considerations, and, in some cases, construction and engineering.
If you are wondering how in the world anybody ever thought that a mediocre lawyer and political hack such as Kamala Harris was going to master all that and actually do something about our lawless border, the answer is obvious."
Some good opinions. except I totally disagree with the above .
Democrats know how to block the border. Every time I hear some pundit say they have to figure it out I cringe.
Biden or Harris - all they would have to do is give a nod - and it would be carried out.
Look at how fast they work when the political fall out is fast and furious.
Fly thousands out of Kubal to fulfill Biden's idiotic promise to the Taliban and images of people falling off planes hurt the Democrat Party
Or how fast they cleared the masses on the border in Del Rio - when the images were hurting them in the polls. Only to make it their endeavor to flout the law even faster and ship them into the interior (their goal all along )
Within a week they could block the border and turn things around.

Where is Kamala?
VP maintains low-profile in order to boost her image
By Kelly Sadler
As the southern border crisis rages, the Taliban regain control of Afghanistan, Dr. Anthony Fauci declaring Christmas may have to be canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Democrats infighting over a $3.5 trillion social welfare bill, inflation spiking, supply-chains disrupted, and the U.S. possibly breaching its debt limit, our vice president Kamala Harris is MIA.
On Friday, Ms. Harris took a stealth trip to Palm Springs, California, with the White House not disclosing the reason for her non-public visit. The following day she was gone. The trip confused some Biden allies, who have wondered why the former Senator hasn’t been more present in President Joe Biden’s effort to pass his embattled welfare bill on Capitol Hill.
On Sunday, Ms. Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff were pictured power walking in Washington, D.C. There was nothing on her public schedule all weekend long.
It’s not that Ms. Harris doesn’t have several high-profile tasks. She’s been put in charge of addressing the origins of the southern border migrant surge, expanding voting rights, increasing broadband access, addressing Black maternal mortality, racial inequality, promoting women in the workforce, and is the leader of the Space Council.
No visible progress has been made on any of it. In terms of the Southern Border, things have worsened after Ms. Harris’ trip there in June and the Northern Triangle countries in May. This month, as many as 400,000 migrants could cross the border, nearly doubling the 21-year record reached in July under the Biden administration.
Ms. Harris has been keeping a low public profile, but when she does engage with the press, it’s often to a disastrous effect. Last month, she appeared for only about 10 minutes on ABC’s “The View” after two co-hosts tested positive for
coronavirus moments before her interview and had to be escorted off the set.
During her brief appearance, she said, “we’ve got to do more” to support the Haitian community, without further details. Regarding the botched Afghanistan withdrawal, Ms. Harris said every day she receives classified briefings about the hotspots around the world and threats to our national security, and the “United States has an obligation, and we as leaders have an obligation to appreciate that we are a global leader.” It was another non-answer.
Every time Ms. Harris opens her mouth, politically correct, vapid words come pouring out. Last week, when visiting a college, Ms. Harris didn’t push back against a student who accused Israel of committing “ethnic genocide.” Instead, Ms. Harris responded: “This is about the fact that your voice, your perspective, your experience, your truth cannot be suppressed, and it must be heard.”
Ms. Harris was immediately criticized, as many widely interpreted her comments as agreeing with the student’s characterization of Israel. No, it was just Ms. Harris trying her best to be woke and popular, using progressive buzzwords without thinking them through. Her team immediately had to go into damage control, reaching out to Democratic Majority for Israel, a prominent advocacy group, the next day, to “shore up relations with the pro-Israel organization,” according to Politico.
That seems to be the only thing Ms. Harris and her team seem concerned about: Cleaning up her self-inflicted messes and improving her image.
After her disastrous interview with NBC’s Lester Holt in June, where she defended not visiting the southern border, saying she didn’t understand the question and “I haven’t been to Europe either,” and a Politico story detailing “low morale, porous lines of communication and diminished trust among aides and senior officials” within her office, she hired two veteran crisis communication experts in August.
So far, their strategy seems to be to keep her out of the limelight and let President Joe Biden manage the multiple crises’ his administration is facing. Absolutely no leadership on her part. So far, it seems to be working. This month, Ms. Harris’s poll numbers bested the president for the first time since taking office.
“My instinct is to say that so much fire has been aimed at Biden, Harris’s numbers have gone up by sheer virtue of being out of the spotlight,” Democratic strategist Christy Setzer told The Hill last week. “She’s not giving anyone fresh reason to dislike her, so her polling numbers revert to the mean, with the country about evenly divided on the Black woman in the No. 2 spot.”
And there you have it, Ms. Harris’s only credentials: Being the first Black woman appointed as vice president, trying desperately not to mess up the moment. Don’t expect to see her anytime soon.

It's pretty easy to sink Kamala Harris, just link her to Biden. But Kommie's numbers are even lower than Joe's.
There are so many theories out there about why they are sinking her, and is it intentional? Really she is sinking herself, but still they won't help her.
The Onion headline, "White House Urges Kamala Harris To Sit At Computer All Day In Case Emails Come Through."
Ann Althouse: "My hypothesis is based, first, on a belief that Jill Biden hated the way Harris treated her husband in that first debate. "

How's that southern border coming along Kamala? "I haven't been to Europe yet either", she said.
At this point, they clearly favor Buttigieg. Watch for the switch. Kamala may suddenly want to 'spend more time with family'.

Clearly she is not the second most powerful person in the administration. She is reportedly on the outs with whoever is in charge. Jill, for one, hates her for painting Joe a racist in a debate.
Her job is to be the Leftist successor to President Joe Biden. She has held enough offices to do that. She was elected state Attorney General and to represent the largest state in the US Senate (uncontested general elections). She is known nationally for her failed Presidential bid, but lots of VPs first had failed Presidential bids. In her case, she didn't win a delegate or a vote, much less a primary, and her 'tough on crime' record as Calif AG has fallen out of favor.
Anyway, the only way they see to remove her is to promote her [again], this time to Supreme Court Justice. [No, there isn't a vacancy.]
If so, many problems arise.
1) There is no one else without major flaws or shortcomings ready to get confirmed as the new VP.
If they had someone, they would have picked them the first time. And now it HAS to be a black woman. Dem rule.
2) She might not be confirmed to the Court [if there was a vacancy and she was appointed]. See below.
3) She would likely be a weak Justice, and take the place of a stronger one, Breyer is the one usually mentioned.
But she would, if this happened, make another historical first:
If nominated to the Supreme Court, Kamala Harris would be the first Supreme Court nominee to have failed the bar exam.

Critics scattered over two decades point to an inconsistent and at times degrading principal who burns through seasoned staff members who have succeeded in other demanding, high-profile positions. People used to putting aside missteps, sacrificing sleep and enduring the occasional tirade from an irate boss say doing so under Harris can be particularly difficult, as she has struggled to make progress on her vice-presidential portfolio or measure up to the potential that has many pegging her as the future of the Democratic Party.
Gil Duran, a former Democratic strategist, and aide to Harris who quit after five months working for her in 2013. In a recent column [for the San Francisco Examiner]he said she’s repeating “the same old destructive patterns. “Who are the next talented people you’re going to bring in and burn through and then have (them) pretend they’re retiring for positive reasons,” he told The Post.
...
Staffers who worked for Harris before she was vice president said one consistent problem was that Harris would refuse to wade into briefing materials prepared by staff members, then berate employees when she appeared unprepared.
“It’s clear that you’re not working with somebody who is willing to do the prep and the work. With Kamala you have to put up with a constant amount of soul-destroying criticism and also her own lack of confidence. So you’re constantly sort of propping up a bully and it’s not really clear why.”

This tells us something ugly about Kamala. It also tells us something about the Democrat method of raising people up through the system.

Harris announces company investments in Central America
BY STEPHEN DINAN THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Pepsi, Cargill and several other companies will make new investments in Central America, Vice President Kamala Harris announced Monday, saying it was the latest success in her effort to try to create opportunities in those communities that might keep future would-be migrants at home.
The seven new companies mark the second round of commitments Ms. Harris has touted as part of her “Call to Action” in Central America.
She said some of the earlier commitments, announced in May, are already showing results, including Microsoft, which has “catalyzed” broadband access to 1.1 million people, and development of clean energy. Nespresso has also promised to spend $150 million between now and 2025, for the first time buying its coffee from Honduras and El Salvador.
All told, Ms. Harris counts $1.2 billion in commitments made as part of her Call to Action.
The vice president’s efforts in Central America have been among the most controversial of her 11 months in office.
As the Biden border surge went into overdrive in the spring, she was tapped with devising ways to stop the large number of migrants from crossing. The migrants mainly came from El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala, known as the Northern Triangle, which has surpassed Mexico as the leading source of illegal border crossing.
Some critics dubbed her the border czar — a title she has resoundingly rejected, insisting her billet stops south of the border.
Ms. Harris has blamed a variety of factors for the increase such as climate change, corruption and violence, though major new studies, including one sponsored by the Homeland Security Department, say the key driver is economics. One study said the average migrant from Northern Triangle countries sees a 10-fold increase in income by coming to the U.S.
That explains Ms. Harris’ focus on job opportunities, though closing enough of a 10fold gap in incomes to keep people at home will be tricky.
And even as the vice president focuses on Central America, migration patterns are changing.
Over the last five months of fiscal year 2021, the Northern Triangle accounted for about 40% of illegal border crossers. But those from beyond that r

Harris: It’s ‘no one’s fault’ that virus spread to U.S.
BY DAVE BOYER THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Vice President Kamala Harris said it’s “no one’s fault” that COVID-19, which originated in China, spread to the U.S. and the rest of the world.
In an interview with CBS News, the vice president also set herself apart from President Biden by refusing to blame unvaccinated Americans for the spread in the U.S.
“I don’t think this is a moment to talk about fault,” Ms. Harris told interviewer Margaret Brennan. “It is no one’s fault that this virus hit our shores, or hit the world. It is more about individual power and responsibility and the decisions that everyone has the choice to make.”
The Republican National Committee responded on Tuesday, “Wrong. It’s China’s fault.”
The virus originated in Wuhan, China. A report by a U.S. government national laboratory concluded this year that it’s “plausible” the virus leaked from a Chinese lab in Wuhan, and that the theory deserves further investigation.
Last year, Ms. Harris blamed then-President Trump for the virus spreading in the U.S., saying Mr. Trump was “delusional” and failed to take the virus “seriously from the start.”
“This virus has impacted almost every country, but there’s a reason it has hit America worse than any other advanced nation. It’s because of Trump’s failure to take it seriously from the start,” she said at the time. “His refusal to get testing up and running, his flip-flopping on social distancing and wearing masks, his delusional belief that he knows better than the experts — all of that is the reason and the reason an American dies of COVID-19 every 80 seconds.”
But deaths from COVID-19 under the Biden administration now equal the number during the Trump administration. The U.S. reached the milestone of 800,000 deaths last week, double the 400,000 deaths that had been recorded by Mr. Trump’s last full day in office.
Her latest interview also is a departure from Mr. Biden, who has laid blame on people who don’t get vaccinated.
In September, Mr. Biden told Americans in a speech, “This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated. And it’s caused by the fact that despite America having an unprecedented and successful vaccination program, despite the fact that for almost five months free vaccines have been available in 80,000 different locations, we still have nearly 80 million Americans who have failed to get the shot.”
In her comments to CBS, Ms. Harris said Americans “have the power today to go out and if you’ve not been boosted, go get boosted. The power today to go and get vaccinated. And that will have an impact on where we end up tomorrow.”

By the time you rise to the level of Vice President of the United States, shouldn't you have some basic understanding of economics?
Not in this case:
"We have to address the fact that we have got to deal with the fact that folks are paying for gas, paying for groceries, and are -- need solutions to it. So let's talk about that," Harris said. "Short-term solution includes what we need to do around the supply chain, right? So, we went to the ports of Los Angeles, Long Beach, Savannah, Georgia, and said, 'Hey, guys, no more five days a week, eight hours a day; 24/7, let's move the products because people need their product – they need what they need.' We're dealing with it in terms of the long term. And that's about what we need to do to pass Build Back Better. It strengthens our economy."

For a plethora of reasons, the Reps should be pushing impeachment of Biden HARD. A big part of the failure to do so can be explained by the fact of the Cackling Commie Ho as VP.
The impeachment and conviction of BOTH of them can easily be based upon dereliction of duty-- the failure to defend our border as required by our Constitution.
If we win the House and Senate, the Speaker of the House (Trump if he runs for Congress?) will be a Rep.

As Speaker he could lead the impeachment effort but they can never get to 67 votes in the Senate, so it would (only) be an exercise in publicizing his dereliction, which is fine.
On a different note, I wonder if the people behind the scenes will bear any cost for their silence on how infit they knew all along this man to be.
I don't think Kamala is a case for impeachment, so far. More just a poor choice for VP and worse yet for future President. She will never be ready.
My view is that a more forward view is a better approach. Covid and this election interrupted the great progress we were making. 'Here is our agenda to get things back on track.'
One argument the Democrats made in 2020 was to get the adults back in charge of things. Instead, dereliction of duty was the agenda. They literally see the budget and the money supply from a kids' point of view, as a giant, unlimited candy store where everything is free. Video clips show both Pres and VP saying $5-6 Trillion won't cost anything. Won't cost anything. That is outrageous! As the debt goes to previously unimagined levels... There is a lot of material to work with there if the campaigns want to have a focus.

"I don't think Kamala is a case for impeachment, so far"
Though there is plenty more, dereliction of duty for failure to defend the border will suffice.

What in the Hell Is Kamala Harris Doing?
By CHARLES C. W. COOKE
February 17, 2022 12:34 PM
If they wish, American citizens may be neutral on the virtues of their country. The vice president doesn’t have that luxury.
Icould never have imagined that I would come to long in earnest for the return of the insipid, aimless, and irrelevant version of Kamala Harris — the one who believes that she is being profound when she suggests that “it is time for us to do what we have been doing, and that time is every day.” Yet here we are. Yesterday, the vice president of the United States put out a statement in Farsi that read, “The truth is: There is segregation in America. Xenophobia exists in America. Antisemitism, Islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia, all exist. Wherever injustice is dealt with, there is activity ahead.” As a reward for her efforts, the Biden administration has decided to send Harris to represent the United States at a summit in Munich, during which she will take part in “a series of high-stakes, high-level diplomatic talks” designed to prevent Russia from invading Ukraine. Thankfully, we have no alarming historical examples of the regrettable consequences that flow from our sending the wrong peace negotiators to Munich.
We are told that Harris hopes to gain some foreign-policy experience ahead of a potential run for — or takeover of — the presidency. If so, the first step will be to understand that speaking for one’s country on the global stage differs profoundly from making the keynote address at this year’s Netroots Nation. Alas, it is unclear whether the Biden administration writ large understands this. At his disastrous January press conference, President Biden was asked bluntly whether he thought that Russia would go into Ukraine, and — twice — he reacted as if he were on a late-afternoon panel at a D.C. think-tank symposium. “I think,” Biden said, “what you’re going to see is that Russia will be held accountable if it invades. And it depends on what it does. It’s one thing if it’s a minor incursion and then we end up having a fight about what to do and not do. . . .” Accurate or not, this was the wrong answer for an American president to proffer. The right answer was, “Russia must not invade Ukraine, and if it does there will be consequences.” If they wish, American citizens may be neutral on the virtues of their country. The executive branch doesn’t have that luxury.
Astonishingly, this does not seem to be obvious to the U.S. State Department, which has adopted a policy designed to “disarm critics and skeptics” by coupling demands for international change with a recitation of what the Democratic Party believes is wrong with the United States. This is extraordinarily foolish. Because they read the news, America’s adversaries recognize that American progressives neither admire the U.S. nor believe it to be exceptional, and they understand that they can exploit that under-confidence for their own geopolitical ends. President Ronald Reagan really did believe that the United States was a “shining city on a hill.” But he also grasped that, alongside military strength, civilizational self-assurance represented an enormous diplomatic asset. “Y’know, when you think about it, we’re not that great either”? Not so much.
Which is all another way of asking: What in the ever-loving hell does Kamala Harris think she is doing? Leave aside for a moment her grotesque false equivalence. How, I would like to know, did this ever happen? Why did Harris decide to engage in such self-flagellation in the first instance? Who translated the attempt for her? Who decided to put it out on an official account whose bio reads, “The US Department of State’s Persian Twitter posts the views of the US government”? Why did the U.S. Embassy in Iran choose to share it? Did the president know? The Biden-Harris ticket ran in 2020 promising a return to honor. Instead, it has set about continuing the tendency toward relativism and self-critique that began under Barack Obama and continued under Donald Trump.
After Bill O’Reilly suggested to him in 2017 that Vladimir Putin was a “killer,” Trump responded, disgracefully, “There are a lot of killers. You think our country’s so innocent?” Well, actually, I do, yes. I think that it’s open and free and fair and stable and kind and hopeful, and that, when compared with every other country that has ever existed, it looks extraordinarily good. I think that there is no comparison to be drawn between the United States and tyrannies such as Russia, China, Iran, or North Korea. America is a beacon, an exemplar, and a refuge; those other nations belong in what Churchill called the “dark, lamentable catalogue of human crime.” If Kamala Harris does not agree, that is her right. But she might have the decency to step down from the executive branch before saying so aloud from the front of the international stage.

US VP Harris embraces call for war crimes probe of Russia
AAMER MADHANI and ZEKE MILLER
Thu, March 10, 2022, 6:46 AM
WARSAW, Poland (AP) — U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday embraced calls for an international war crimes investigation of Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, citing the “atrocities” of bombing civilians, including a maternity hospital.
Speaking alongside Polish President Andrzej Duda at a press conference in Warsaw, where she is demonstrating U.S. support for NATO's eastern flank allies, Harris expressed outrage over the bombing Wednesday of the maternity hospital and scenes of bloodied pregnant women being evacuated, as well as other attacks on civilians. She stopped short of directly accusing Russia of having committed war crimes.
“Absolutely there should be an investigation, and we should all be watching,” said Harris, noting that the United Nations has already started a process to review allegations. “I have no question the eyes of the world are on this war and what Russia has done in terms of this aggression and these atrocities.”
Harris' visit to Poland came amid a kerfuffle between Warsaw and Washington over a Polish proposal to send its Soviet-made fighter jets to a U.S. and NATO base in Germany so they could then go to Ukraine. Poland, in turn, would receive American F-16s.
Poland had publicly floated the proposal without first consulting the U.S. Just as Harris arrived in Warsaw late Wednesday, the Pentagon definitively rejected the idea, saying it would run the risk of escalating the Russia-Ukraine war.
At Thursday's news conference, both Harris and Duda sought to brush aside differences on the fighter jets issue.
“******I want to be very clear*******, the United States and Poland are united in what we have done and are prepared to do to help Ukraine and the people of Ukraine, full stop,” she said

".Most popular president in American history!

***Undoubtedly the most famous utterance ever attributed to Lincoln is, “You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.” Early recollections place the saying in an 1858 speech Lincoln delivered in Clinton, Illinois.****
of course it never hurts to steal money from some to bribe others with free s..t ....

From 'The Passage of Time'...
https://twitter.com/i/status/1505980636347183114
Besides the cackle, she has a trademark nod she uses after she says something vacuous you are supposed to agree with.
See it 9 seconds in after the first time she says "passage of time". Again at the end 0:32 where she says something about "when you think of our children", nod. Like, right?
But if we nod along, she might think we have some clue what the hell she is talking about.
It means something like an exclamation point. She realizes her big point wasn't landing or persuasive so the nod is supposed to push it just a little bit further.
Or as Amy Klobuchar says to break the awkward silence after a big point, "that's where you're supposed to applaud", hesitation, ... clap, clap, clap.

Yes
I noticed this too
it could be she is signaling applause
but I took as insecurity and she is seeking some sort of acknowledgement of approval for what she just said
even it is just a nod from a few well placed Democrats in the first row.......
sadly for Black women she is an embarrassment.
we need more black women in our politics of course on our side
but ones who really are qualified
I can think of a few who could talk circles around her
it is remarkable that the former AG of California is so inarticulate when she is not reading lines
or has to think quickly on her feet
did not some former president say something like you can suck off some people some of time , suck off some people all of the time but not everyone all of the time!

notable LOL quotes from the jurnolist:
"“I’ve been thrilled to see her in the spotlight on these two issues in particular over the past couple of weeks here."
"Former government officials were particularly impressed with how rapidly the trip came together,"
"A spokesperson for Harris stressed that the vice president has been active in addressing gun violence and abortion access throughout the Biden administration"
“She was built for this. She was born for this. She was raised for this. She can take every shot you shoot, because she’s been through shots worse than this,” Sharpton said. “She’s tough enough, she’s strong enough.”
and this one pisses me off:
"Conservatives have repeatedly zeroed in on the influx of migrants at the southern border, placing the blame on Harris and questioning whether she’s qualified for the job."
it is never the truth that she or any Democrat simply suck - it is only that
"conservatives " criticize them .

If so perhaps Trump could win.

Kamala Harris Is Biden’s No. 2 Problem
Meanwhile, Republicans need to winnow the field to Donald Trump, Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis.
Peggy Noonan
By Peggy Noonan
Nov. 9, 2023 5:57 pm ET
Where are we, one year from the 2024 presidential election?
The incumbent is famously, historically unpopular and has been for some time, so it’s not a blip or event-related. He should help his party’s prospects by stepping aside and letting Democrats fight it out. He won’t, we all sense this.
Republican hopefuls continue their battle, but everyone knows who’s way ahead in the polls. The front-runner, however, faces criminal trials on federal and state charges, which may take place during primary season. We don’t know if that will cast a shadow, or how broad or long.
We do know that we’re going on December, the Iowa GOP caucuses are on Jan. 15, and the New Hampshire primary will follow soon after. Things are going at a clip even if they don’t seem to be. The debate this week was all about the front-runners after Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley, two candidates different in stands, approach, talent, temperament and appeal. Between the two of them they’re a fair enough approximation of their party. The other candidates, having given their all, should step aside, withdraw their names, and throw their support to either Ms. Haley or Mr. DeSantis.
Let them duke it out in the clear. That’s where a breakthrough is possible. Let one emerge as the leader of the not-Trump half of the party and go from there.
In a way both parties are being held hostage, the Democrats by the needs of an old man who wants to stay, the Republicans by an old man who wants back in. And both parties are at the mercy of cults, the Republicans’ one of personality and the Democrats’ of policy. They can’t free themselves from unpopular stands on such issues as illegal immigration. Both cults are self-limiting. This is why the majority of the American people, when polled, admit a second Trump-Biden race leaves them depressed.
Joe Biden’s main problem, the perception that he is too old for the job, is guaranteed to get worse each day. This makes his vice president more important than vice presidents ever have been. When people consider voting for Mr. Biden for the presidency they’ll know it is likely they’re really voting for Kamala Harris. This will only hurt Democratic fortunes, because she is uniquely unpopular. The practical path would be to make a change that reassures, to a veteran, highly regarded figure in whom people might feel confidence. This wouldn’t be easy and would give the president a black eye with some portion of his base, but black eyes heal in a year, and none of those angered will be voting for Mr. Trump.
I have been fascinated by Ms. Harris’s lack of success in her role considering the impressiveness of her previous résumé—district attorney, California attorney general, U.S. senator. I think she didn’t fully understand the nature of the vice presidency and thought she did. I think she let her political ego dictate her calculations. She was surrounded by friends and staff who had made a study of her but not the job and who assumed that by virtue of her first-ever status—first ever woman to hold the role, first ever black and Indian-American—she should be bold, remake the position, make her special significance and importance clear, be less an understudy than a co-star. But you can’t effectively change a thing unless you understand it first.
She meant to establish her place as the future president by showing off her charm and ease. Which is how she got in trouble with dramatic interviews, winging it with ad-libbed, mad-libbed arias in speeches, and taking on portfolios—immigration during an immigration crisis—that were important but not promising, and in fact dangerous. In three years under bright lights she proved herself insubstantial—not seeming to understand issues in any depth, getting lost as she discussed them, laughing in ways that said “please see me as a happy warrior.”
In her previous life she never had to use the tools of seriousness. She rose in a one-party state. Charm, networking and picking your way through the intraparty progressive minefields was enough. But at the level of the vice presidency it isn’t.
Her attempts to turbocharge the role left the press free to judge her on different terms. Here it must be said that many jobs in the top level of the federal government are hard, but vice president isn’t one of them. Every morning you get up and put on clothing. You then often leave for a trip—to the funeral of a head of state, to the Detroit Economic Club for a speech, or a party fundraiser in Bismarck, N.D.—and what you talk about there is the administration’s policies and plans, its claimable successes.
It is a boring speech—vice presidents’ speeches are always boring, are prepared to be such, because the people at the White House want the vice president to be boring. They want the vice president to be substantive, but they don’t want any attention off the president, or any disadvantageous comparisons made. Another reason vice-presidential speeches are boring is you wind up repeating the same stuff—policies, plans, hopes. Another reason is that you’re always speaking of serious, not playful things—domestic challenges, approaches to the world.
But it’s OK. Because everyone you speak to—everyone—knows it’s your job to be boring and gives you a pass.
If this sounds like “Wow, no one should ever become vice president, how insignificant,” no. You get a mansion; you’re not under the most intense daily scrutiny; people take care of you. The boon and political gift of the job is picking up chits and forging relationships for when you run for president.
You also get to help the administration you presumably believe in, and thus help the American people with good policies. It’s a good job. And all the American people ask of you is that you seem serious, well-versed, and possibly, beneath the boringness, wise, so that if something bad were to happen they can feel secure that yes, you can do the job.
I don’t think Ms. Harris understood this, not the institutional history of the job or why it has been done by most of its holders with certain hard boundaries. With her faith in her charm and ability to be warm and relatable, as they say, she forgot to be modest or to imitate modesty. But people do expect humility of vice presidents, a grown-up sense that they know they’re the second banana, that today they’re nothing but tomorrow they may be everything, as the first vice president, John Adams, said. But today is today so do your sturdy, boring job, and learn more every day about the inner workings of this thing called the federal government. Previous vice presidents have been a mystery. Our age is one of TikTok feeds, not mystery, but there is power in being a step away.
The way to approach the vice presidency is with low-key humility and carefulness. You don’t take the job and shape it to your persona; you take your persona and fit it into the job, which existed long before you and ideally will exist long after.

Preaching to the choir here, nobody needs reminding how bad Kamala is.
1. The cackling.
2. The word salads.
3. Willie Brown.
4. 'Tough on crime' in California, then defund the police and release the inmates as that becomes fashionable in Leftist circles.
5. She's never won a delegate outside of California. That is one fewer than Amy Klobuchar.
6. She raised her hand with Bernie Sanders to eliminate all private health insurance in favor of a government plan. Favored it. Backed off it. Couldn't explain it.
https://www.axios.com/2019/10/27/kamala-harris-medicare-for-all-2020-health-care
"I have to tell you honestly. I knew it. I said to my team, 'We need to do a better plan. This is not good enough.' And I said to my team, 'I know we're gonna take a political hit for it.' I knew that. I knew we were. I knew I'd be called a flip-flopper for that."
— Harris to "Axios on HBO"
https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/07/kamala-harris-medicare-for-all-plan/
"Sanders notes that a 4 percent tax on all households (including those making $29,000 to $100,000) would raise $3.5 trillion over ten years. Medicare for All would cost $30 trillion to $40 trillion over 10 years. The 4 percent tax is just a down payment. Where does Harris plan on getting the $26.5 trillion to $36.5 trillion to pay for her version of Medicare for All? She doesn’t say."
https://www.cnn.com/2019/06/28/politics/kamala-harris-medicare-for-all/index.html
"Harris, again, seemed to walk back her position on whether she supports the total elimination of the private health care insurance industry.
In the debate itself, the moderators asked the 10 candidates on stage to raise their hand if they supported the abolishing of the private health care market in favor of a government-run program – as outlined in Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ Medicare for All plan. Only two candidates – Sanders, obvi, and Harris – raised their hands.
After the debate, Harris and her team sought to amend her seeming support for the total elimination of the private industry. She had misunderstood the question, they argued, believing that she was raising her hand to say that her own health care – as a member of Congress – would be eliminated and put into a government-run system."

45 seconds with Kamala Harris. See if you like her.
Give her more time and she will find more taxes to raise...
Hillary said, "you can't afford all of my ideas". Harris doesn't care if you can afford hers. Bankruptcy is a feature, not a bug, of the Harris plan.
-
besides the obvious lack of skills and talent that 45 sec. clip is her in a nutshell
I would also add abortion and race as her favorite topics.
if she ever became President - within one week we will be able to make another 45 sec tape titled "Kamala runs wild! with her cackling off at the end while she screws the nation over into as noted above into oblivion.

"We need to do something different to win."
- They need to do something better, not just different.
Just days ago I gave them the JFK plan and Clinton triangulation plan, but no, they want to double down on failure.

He gave us Biden - because he polled better than Trump
Now he wants to give us Harris because she is losing less to Trump according to leftist pollsters:

Funny, I kept hearing all over the propaganda media that "we [democrats] have a very deep bench!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
So of course they come up with the cackling buffoon.
As Meghan Kelly said, whoever it is, will suddenly be placed on their shoulders and carried around like Queen Cleopatra and touted as the savior of Democracy, the savior of the World, savior from the tyrant, destroyer of nations, destroyer of the world who has never said one true thing in 78 yrs.

So someone I follow just asked the question “Can you imagine what the debated between Vance and Harris will look like?” Perhaps they ought to handicap Vance or something, maybe make him wear blinders while having Black Sabbath blasting into a headset while standing on one leg atop a stool while balancing a book on his head or something.

Unburdened by what has been, isn't that a campaign against reparations? A campaign against affirmative action? A campaign against getting revenge against the rich and the capitalists?
Um, no. It means we are marching full speed toward Marxism if elected. Individual freedom and economic freedoms make up the past she is unburdened by.
It's the policies stupid.
During the excitement (spell check keeps changing that to excrement) of Barack Obama's first run for president, I came across a book by Pat Paulsen explaining his candidacy in 1968. It was full of Yogi Berra like vacuous statements on every issue intended to make fun of the nothingness of politicians' rhetoric, but it sounded exactly like the lofty emptiness of Barack Obama's speeches.
We are the future that we've been waiting for, or something like that.
The point is, it doesn't look like Kamala can pull that off, understatement. She does it and it reveals her nothingness.
But true Biden voters can trust her fully because she has already the same Puppet Masters behind her making all the decisions and setting all the policies. They told her when she can announce and they added her signature to the campaign Bank account, all within minutes.
We ask, why does he resign from the race and not from the presidency. Stay tuned. If incumbency favors her, they will arrange it.

https://nypost.com/2024/07/22/us-news/kamala-harris-encourages-crowd-to-applaud-biden-in-awkward-first-remarks-on-presidents-retirement-you-may-clap/
Didn't candidate Klobuchar say nearly the same thing, "that's where you were supposed to applaud".
It usually happens right before a candidate has to drop out of a race.
Some candidates are whip smart and some are magical at working a crowd everywhere they go. I would ask, how did Kamala get to where she is, but I don't want to go there again. Beemers for bj's with the most disgusting guy in the assembly. We're not going to talk about that here. :wink:
Media said she's going to emphasize her tough on crime background. How many black guys did she put away for things that are no longer illegal? I wonder if tough on crime includes her efforts to get hardened criminals released from prison?
Is it just me? I see her candidacy lasting about 2 weeks.
She snubbed Netanyahu today, apparently doesn't really want to be the leader.
Okay I will get off her case, just as soon as someone asks her how that border assignment is going.

I saw her dog a pony show last night, where she listed her rumored prosecutorial creds. The take away/money shot? I know criminals so I know how to deal with Donald Trump.”
What I hope Trump’s repartee is: Oh you know criminal. Ones that take money from foreign governments with registering as a foreign agent? One that has set up dozens of shell company so he can hide his ill gotten gains? One that has used the power of his office to silence political opposition in unprecedented ways? What’s your plan to hold people like that to account, assuming you aren’t, in fact, a coconspirator?
I say hang that albatross around her neck early and often, much like occurred when Ford pardoned Nixon, a major factor in his ensuing loss. Heck, ask her if part of the deal to get her into the lead slot was promising to issue pardons. Ask her if she supports any pardons Biden offers. Love to see those responses.
-
Yes, pretty good followup press question to her talks about knowledge of crime, in what way are you not a vo-conspirator in the Biden crime family. You were there, did you meet any of the contacts, were you not aware of Joe's meetings? Were you not aware it was not just Joe and Hunter but nine members of the Biden family on the take? Did your nose for crime not sense ANYTHING wrong? Will there be prosecution under your administration? What if the Trump family did all this?

If "crime" is going to be her wedge issue--and lord knows "Progressives" are making a lot of hay out of the NY passion play--then Trump or some PAC ought to make a bunch of short ads raining on that parade.
Way back in the day when SNL was actully funny and Gerald Ford was President they did one show where there was an ongoing bit titled "The President Rolls a Joint." All it consisted of was a set of hands, some olive drab leafy substance, a pack of rolling papers, and a small table.
Each bit started off with the narrator stating "The President rolls a joint." In one instance the set of hands rolled a paper into a tube and then picked up a pinch of leafy substance and threw it at the already rolled paper. In the next he'd put WAY too much leafy substance atop a paper, attempt to roll, at which point the paper burst and tore open. And so on.
If I was running a PAC I'd make a bunch of 15-30 second pieces titled "Kamala is Tough on Crime." I'd open with a snippet of one of her babbling platitudes, cut to the supposed crime, and then its outcome. When available I'd close with a pic of the supposed criminal or real criminal. If it was say the innocent man she left on death row, I'd have him surrounded by family staring into the camera. The goal would be to illustrate the downstream impact her supposed prosecutorial acumen had on real people.
I'd also try to do a setup. Hopefully some member of the MSM asks her about her lead law enforcement (which the President is as the head of the Executive Branch) plans re say Hunter should she be elected. My guess is her answer will be some sort of circular platitude about healing or some such. We can then cut to a list of Hunter's crimes, and close with one of those pics of him in his undies, surrounded by drugs, with a gun in the hand and a hooker on the bed.
Bottom line: if "tough on criminals" is gonna be one of the legs her campaign stands on I'd start ruthlessly chopping at it at every turn. And hey, as we can expect claims of "deep fake" or missing context at every turn, while producing an ad I'd start a second effort to document all the primary sources used in creating it. As soon as the "fake" claims start flying, I'd post it in response and let people chase down the sources and judge for themselves.
Crafty, how do we get the movers and shakers said to visit this site to adopt my nefarious plan?

Kamala descended from Irish slave owner that was "not a nice person." I have a hard time keeping tracking these things: does this mean she is owed reparations, or does she have to make payments?

apparently she is going to run on
the "accomplishments" of all the great work Biden has achieved :roll:
Trump is evil and threat to Dem. :roll:
Criticize her and you are automatically a racist and the new most used word of 2024 misogynist .
(don't forget Trump is going to put the blacks back into chains and take away their voting rights.
abortion abortion abortion abortion .
the slogan we used "threat to the democracy [the us]"
using the Alinsky tactic of accusing your enemy with what you they accuse you even if they are the ones doing it.
She is not a DEI candidate - she was chosen to be VP after Biden swore he was going to pick a black woman VP because of her great leadership talents :roll:
She is more accomplished than JD Vance [who doesn't give BJ as well]
She wants to give us 8 more yrs to finish the work [finish off the country beyond repairt] that Joe started . :roll:
And she has the whole media complex , academics, DNC lawyer shyster listers, celebrities and some woke CEOs. throwing millions at her feet.
Just wake me up on election day .
No one wants to hear the lies and crap
The only good thing , in the very unlikely event she did win we will have the Senate and hopefully the House with a stronger majority.
Then she will spend 4 yrs telling us how she would save the world if not only for the R's getting in the way.
By then another 6 million illegals will be here and we will be Europe's colony again.

Vice President Kamala Harris delivers remarks celebrating the National Collegiate Athletic Association championship teams at the White House on Monday PHOTO: MICHAEL BROCHSTEIN/ZUMA PRESS
Democrats are rapidly unifying behind Kamala Harris as their party nominee, yet the Vice President remains relatively unknown to most Americans. That means it’s important to look at her record to see what she believes.

Joe Biden Ends His Re-Election Bid as Kamala Harris Takes Center Stage
SUBSCRIBE
Add to Queue
Explore Audio Center
As VP she’s closely identified with the Biden agenda, for better or worse, and she embraced that record in remarks on Monday. She said President Biden’s first term has “surpassed the legacy” of most Presidents who have served two.
So mark her down as endorsing the spending blowouts that caused inflation, the Green New Deal, entitlement expansions and student loan forgiveness. Until she says otherwise, we should also assume she’s in favor of Mr. Biden’s $5 trillion tax increase in 2025.
***
The Vice President’s four years as a Senator from California are another window on her worldview. She sponsored a bill to create a $6,000 guaranteed income for families making up to $100,000. Another Harris proposal: A refundable tax credit that would effectively cap rents and utility payments at 30% of income. Liberal economists panned the subsidy because it would drive up rents.
She co-sponsored legislation with Bernie Sanders that would pay tuition at four-year public colleges for students from families making up to $125,000. This is more honest than the Administration’s back-end student loan cancellation. But it would cost $700 billion over a decade and encourage colleges to increase tuition.
Another Bernie mind-meld: Single-payer healthcare. Ms. Harris co-sponsored his Medicare for All legislation paid for by higher income taxes. She tweaked Bernie’s plan when running for President in 2019 by extending the phase-in to 10 years from four and exempting households making less than $100,000 from the “income-based premium.” But it would still put government in charge of all American healthcare over time.
As a San Francisco Democrat, Ms. Harris shares the state’s hostility to fossil fuels. She used her power as California Attorney General to launch an investigation into Exxon Mobil over its carbon emissions. In 2019 she endorsed a nationwide ban on oil and gas fracking, which would cost tens of thousands of jobs and cause power outages like those that often occur in her home state. Expect this to be a GOP talking point in Pennsylvania.
One question to ask is whether the Vice President wants to restructure the Supreme Court. She said in 2019 she was “open” to adding more Justices, but that idea doesn’t poll well. Does she agree with Mr. Biden’s mooted plan to endorse “reforms” to the High Court that would make the Justices subject to Congressional supervision?
Mr. Biden famously put Ms. Harris in charge of border policy, and we know how that has turned out. Rather than push for border policy changes, her first instinct was to blame the rush of migrants on “root causes” in developing countries, including corruption, violence, poverty and “lack of climate adaptation and climate resilience.”
Climate change makes the U.S. border a sieve? Apparently so. “In Honduras, in the wake of hurricanes, we must deliver food, shelter, water and sanitation to the people,” Ms. Harris declared. “And in Guatemala, as farmers endure continuous droughts, we must work with them to plant drought-resistant crops.” These “root causes” take decades to address, and in the meantime she had nothing to say about actual border security.
Ms. Harris’s foreign policy views aren’t well known, or perhaps even well formed, apart from promoting Mr. Biden’s policies. While she has backed the Administration’s military assistance to Ukraine, she has equivocated about support for Israel. In March she chastised Israel for not doing enough to ease a “humanitarian catastrophe.” Leaks to the press say officials at the National Security Council toned down her speech’s criticism of Israel.
She lambasted the Trump Administration for killing Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Gen. Qassem Soleimani, claiming it could lead to bigger war in the Mideast. The killing chastened Iran’s rulers instead, at least until the Biden Administration began to ease sanctions and tried to repeat the 2015 nuclear deal.
It will be especially important for the press to ask Ms. Harris about her national security views. If her handlers control her as much as White House advisers have Mr. Biden, we’ll know they’re afraid that the Vice President might not be able to handle the scrutiny.
***
A fair conclusion from all of this is that Ms. Harris is a standard California progressive on most issues, often to the left of Mr. Biden. Perhaps as she reintroduces herself to the public in the coming weeks, she will modify some of those views. She would be wise to do so if she wants to win.
Given the rush by Democrats to anoint Ms. Harris as their nominee, the press has a particular obligation to tell the public about who she is and what she really thinks. Does she believe California is a model for the country?

High grade = C. Lots of Fs:
VP Picks for Kamala Harris
Cato @ Liberty by Chris Edwards / Jul 24, 2024 at 9:43 AM//keep unread//hide
Chris Edwards
Media outlets are identifying vice-presidential options for likely presidential candidate Kamala Harris. Many of the VP options are state governors.
Cato grades the governors from “A” to “F” every two years on their tax and spending policies. The “A” governors push for lower taxes and spending, the “F” governors push for higher taxes and spending, and there are many governors in between.
Potential VP picks are listed below with their past Cato grades and a few notes on recent tax policy actions. Past Cato reports are here. The 2024 report will be released in October.
Progressive Democratic governors oppose nearly all tax cuts, and they often push for tax hikes hitting high-earners and businesses. The only tax cuts they favor are narrow low-income breaks and loopholes for favored corporations.
Moderate Democratic governors may go along with income tax rate cuts when pressed, and they may resist efforts to hike broad-based taxes unless they perceive a serious budget need.
Based on tax policy, I would put Newsom, Pritzker, and Whitmer in the category of left-wing progressives, and I would put Polis, Beshear, Cooper, and Shapiro in the category of moderates.
a
Gavin Newsom, California. Took office January 2019
Cato grades: 2022 (F), 2020 (C)
In 2022, Newsom approved legislation providing one-time rebates for low-income families. But he also approved a large tax hike on wages with SB 951, which increased payroll taxes to fund the state disability insurance program. The hike will raise taxes at least $3 billion annually and increase the state’s top tax rate on wages to 14.4 percent.
In 2024, Newsom signed a budget that raises corporate tax revenues $15 billion over the next three years.
Jared Polis, Colorado. Took office January 2019
Cato grades: 2022 (C), 2020 (C)
In 2022, Coloradans passed Proposition 121 cutting the individual and corporate tax rates. Polis endorsed the measure.
In 2023, Polis supported Proposition HH, which would have cut property taxes but would have also reduced taxpayer rebates under the TABOR mechanism. Voters rejected the plan.
In 2024 Polis signed SB 228, which changed TABOR to reduce income tax rates but not the total amount refunded to taxpayers. He also signed HB 1311, which created a new family tax credit, but the credit will reduce the amount of revenues refunded under TABOR.
Lastly, Polis signed SB 230, which imposed a fee on the oil and gas industry to raise $138 million a year for subsidizing public transit and other programs.
J.B. Pritzker, Illinois. Took office January 2019
Cato grades: 2022 (F), 2020 (F)
Pritzker has been raising taxes almost continuously since he entered office but with some narrow tax breaks mixed in. In recent years, he reduced inflation indexing under the income tax, and he has pushed for a sports wagering tax and limits on business deductions. While Pritzker favors higher taxes on businesses in general, he hands out narrow breaks to big corporations, such as $213 million in tax credits to a Chinese battery maker building a facility in Illinois.
Andy Beshear, Kentucky. Took office December 2019
Cato grades: 2022 (D)
Beshear proposed modest tax cuts in 2022, including freezing vehicle property tax rates and reducing the sales tax rate for a year. But he vetoed HB 8, which cut income taxes, and the legislature overrode him to enact the reforms.
Beshear changed direction in 2023 and reluctantly approved tax reforms. He signed HB 1, which accelerated the income tax cuts passed in 2022. That decision made political sense because he was running for reelection last year, and if he had vetoed the bill the legislature would have likely overridden him.
Gretchen Whitmer, Michigan. Took office January 2019
Cato grades 2022 (F), 2020 (F)
Whitmer has repeatedly vetoed reforms reducing income tax rates, but she has approved a smattering of narrow breaks such as low-income credits and tax cuts for retirement income. Recently, she proposed a gimmicky rebate of $1,000 for gas-powered cars, $2,000 for electric vehicles, and an extra $500 for union-made cars.
Governor Roy Cooper, North Carolina. Took office January 2017
Cato grades: 2022 (B), 2020 (C), 2018 (F)
In 2021, Cooper went along with the legislature and approved large income tax rate cuts, but in 2023 he reversed course and did not sign further tax reforms passed by Republican legislators.
In 2024, Cooper proposed raising future corporate taxes, cutting the state’s school choice program, and replacing the state’s flat-rate individual income tax with a two-rate system. The legislature rejected the plan.
Governor Josh Shapiro, Pennsylvania. Took office January 2023
Shapiro has not been graded by Cato yet. Over his first year and a half in office, he has supported both tax cuts and tax increases.
Shapiro’s predecessor in office, Tom Wolf, signed a phased-in corporate tax rate cut, and Shapiro supports the reform. Shapiro has not pushed for a severance tax on the energy industry, as Wolf had done, and he has proposed exempting cell phone bills from sales taxes.
However, Shapiro has favored some tax hikes. He supports cap-and-trade plans to raise hundreds of millions of dollars a year from electric utility customers, and he is proposing a new tax on electronic gaming machines.

From the first article:
"Why it matters: [it does?] Just as President Obama tasked Biden with fixing the U.S. economy after he assumed office in 2009 [He did?], Biden is putting his own vice president in charge of a problem threatening to overshadow the new administration's successful launch.
Harris will lead efforts with Mexico and the Northern Triangle (Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador) to manage the flow of unaccompanied children and migrant families arriving at the border in numbers not seen since a surge in 2019. [She will?]
"Starting today, the Northern Triangle nations and Mexico will know there was one senior official dedicated to this effort. To be very clear, this is an important task," a senior administration official told reporters during a conference call.
It was held just an hour before a White House event with Biden, Harris, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, and Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra."
[Doug] if it matters and her future is tied to Mayorkas et al and the security at the southern border, shouldn't she be impeached?

Saw that too.
As we all know and has been described
We are NOT running against buffoon Kamala
We are running against the giant meg DNC machine which includes most of Federal government, agencies, academia, media, rich megadonors, DEI infrastructure
so just calling her mega woke will simply be denied reflected back covered up and diverted to racism anti women anti democracy and the rest
meantime we still have never trumpers rinos who seem not to get it.
we would have won even with Trump's negatives easily if not for illegal immigration the past 30 yrs. let alone longer.

@hughhewitt
Former President Trump is of course under on obligation to continue his agreement on debates that he had with Biden after Kamala’s coup. The
@VP
has not done a serious interview in years. She’s an off-the-shelf, left-wing ideologue and standard issue “San Francisco Democrat,” and Trump (1) should delay any debate until after Harris sits for a minimum of 3 serious interviews by serious journalists (not from the left or former Democratic operatives) and (2) a schedule of three debates is agreed to including journalists from across the spectrum as Harris has never, ever sat for an interview with anyone from the center-right much less a conservative journalist.
@LaCivitaC
and
@susie57
can negotiate a series of debates but legacy media’s attempt to roll Trump into ambushes should be rebuffed. The whole country knows Harris has limited experience and abilities, that she failed in the only job Biden gave her, and that she’s way out of the American political mainstream. Team Trump is under zero obligation to assist in her makeover or to ignore the cover-up by her and legacy media of Biden’s infirmity.

"Trump (1) should delay any debate until after Harris sits for a minimum of 3 serious interviews by serious journalists (not from the left or former Democratic operatives) "
I take the gist here being to force her to define her positions before going into the debate(s). A crafty thought.
"and (2) a schedule of three debates is agreed to including journalists from across the spectrum as Harris has never, ever sat for an interview with anyone from the center-right much less a conservative journalist."
Yes.

Agree. Hugh Hewitt was on vacation when all this happened. Good to see him com back with fresh ideas. (He also would likely be one of the conservative media debate moderators.)
The old debate apparatus was broken and now it's gone so why not demand that it is rebuilt right.
Trump has some leverage here, why not use it.

Newt also says beware of Kamala catching on. Don't underestimate her. Sorry I don't have a link.
A certain type of liberal young voter will like her. I don't know what is to love, she's not very bright and we're not wrong about these word salads. But she represents liberalism, the best path to beat trump, and she's female and sort of black.
Exciting to have the first woman president but kind of dumb to have the wrong one break that ground.
I don't think these times call for a DEI pick.

Kamala’s Willie Brown/San Fran skullduggery connections deserve a full airing:
The New York Times says it’s ‘sexist’ to question why Harris had an affair with a powerful political boss twice her age — but the facts they’re not telling you are damning.
Author Mark Hemingway
Kamala Harris hasn’t been the presumptive Democrat nominee for even a week, and already the press is desperately trying to insist perfectly valid criticisms of her are illegitimate. If you think the media were complicit in attempting and failing to hide Joe Biden’s senility, the attempt to retcon her political career into something that resembles respectable and competent is even more brazen.
“She was never the border czar.”
“She was never considered the most liberal senator.”
“She was never a DEI hire.”
“She doesn’t owe her political career to her powerful boyfriend.”
Oh, but she was, she was, she was, and she does.
The dishonesty surrounding all of these issues is worth highlighting, but let’s focus on that last point involving Harris’ relationship with California’s powerful political boss Wille Brown, for no other reason than The New York Times has provided a terrific example of how the lies are coming in hot.
The Times’ “On Politics” newsletter Wednesday — think of it as political talking points for affluent wine moms, a.k.a. the Democrats’ base — was dedicated to combatting “the sexist and racist rumors that have followed Harris for years” with “the facts behind several conspiracy theories and misleading claims about Harris that have spread widely in recent days.”
Nearly the whole thing is an orgiastic recitation of errant nonsense, starting with the fact that the Times is quoting disgraced “disinformation expert” Nina Jankowicz to make the case that Harris is the victim of a disproportionate amount of online attacks. (Harris’ competitor in the presidential race was shot in the head less than two weeks ago, and, unsurprisingly, there’s been a dearth of media handwringing about the rhetorical climate that may have enabled an actual assassination attempt. That’s because an honest discussion about hateful rhetoric would involve asking basic questions such as, “Why did The New York Times win a Pulitzer for stories based on the false premise that Donald Trump stole an election by treasonously colluding with Russia?”)
But I digress. Again, the real lowlight of the Times article is its discussion of Kamala Harris’ relationship with Willie Brown. One of my favorite things “fact checkers” do is introduce a proposition as false and then try to confirm that falsity by desperately spinning a bunch of inconvenient facts that confirm the proposition is actually true. The entire section on Harris and Willie Brown is a textbook example:
The sexist insinuations point in part to her brief relationship in the 1990s with Willie Brown, who was 60 and the speaker of the California Assembly when Harris was 29 and rising in the Bay Area legal scene. He appointed Harris to two well-paid state board positions and introduced her to his political connections.
When she was campaigning to be San Francisco’s district attorney in 2003, her opponents repeatedly commented on her link to Brown — references that she told The New York Times in 2019 were “frustrating” and “designed to degrade, frankly, the conversation about why we needed a new D.A.”
During the 2003 race, which she won, she told SF Weekly that there was nothing improper about benefiting from her ties to Brown, although she described the relationship as an “albatross hanging around my neck.” She said she “brought a level of life knowledge and common sense” to the board roles, adding that “whether you agree or disagree with the system, I did the work.”
She said that she had “no doubt that I am independent of him” and that “I do not owe him a thing.”
Just so we’re clear, The New York Times is confirming Harris did in fact have a relationship with Willie Brown, who was 31 years older (and, for what it’s worth, still married at the time). Harris herself admits her career benefited significantly from said relationship. Other Democrats shared the perception she did not earn her positions. And Harris, a lawyer who initially failed the bar exam, can only say that she “brought a level of life knowledge and common sense” rather than actual qualifications to the jobs Brown appointed her to. But it’s a sexist insinuation to insist these facts are rather unflattering to Kamala!
And this is just what The New York Times is admitting. In actuality, the details are far worse than the Times is letting on. Peter Schweizer, an investigative journalist who has worked with The New York Times in the past, details quite a bit on the corrupt nature of the Harris/Brown relationship in his book, Profiles in Corruption, which has been out for four and a half years. And the facts as he lays them out are damning.
Brown, who was repeatedly investigated by the FBI for corruption, was far more involved in Harris’ career ascent than appointing her to two board positions. He was a kingmaker in California, and he was heavily involved in helping Harris get elected as San Francisco district attorney. Brown didn’t do this entirely out of the goodness of his heart. Harris was working for the previous district attorney, Terence Hallinan, and quit when she got passed over for the No. 2 position in the DA’s office.
Hallinan found himself as the subject of criticism from other city officials, but others suggested the controversy was manufactured. “This whole thing is about Kamala Harris,” a source close to Brown told the San Francisco Chronicle. “Cross one of Willie’s friends and there will be hell to pay.” Eventually, Harris ran for DA with Brown’s powerful backing — a former Brown aide managed her campaign, and Brown played a key role in her fundraising, which was incredibly successful. After starting the race polling a distant third, she won the election.
Once in office, Harris then dropped or pled out corruption charges against friends of Willie Brown that Hallinan had been pursuing. There were a number of Brown’s friends let off the hook, but most notably this included a sweetheart plea deal for a notorious city contractor caught defrauding the city by using inferior recycled concrete in sensitive projects such as parking garages and the Bay Bridge. This compromised the structural integrity of those projects and endangered lives. But Harris dropped all the fraud charges and accepted a guilty plea on a single count involving an environmental violation.
“Harris’ office had no explanation for why it dropped the concrete case,” reported the Chronicle. A better explanation is that the contractor in question was generous with campaign donations and had previously been popped for making an illegal $2,000 donation to, yup, Willie Brown.
Anyway, there’s a lot more alarming reporting in Schweizer’s book that’s worth revisiting, and it’s not a stretch to say Kamala Harris has engaged in outright corruption in her career. Suffice to say, when The New York Times takes Kamala Harris at her word that her relationship with Willie Brown was not “improper,” they’re erasing the functional difference between lying and profound ignorance. And when she’s credulously quoted saying, “I do not owe him a thing,” it’s journalistic malpractice to believe her.
To say that Kamala Harris had an affair with a man more than twice her age, leveraged his fundraising prowess and connections to launch her political career, and once in office did his corrupt bidding isn’t sexist. It’s well-grounded in fact.
But facts aren’t something The New York Times is much interested in. Kamala Harris’ late entry into the presidential race means they don’t have much time to use what’s left of their institutional clout to try to dishonestly sway a presidential race.

Harris does not support fracking ban: Campaign official
The Hill News / by Rachel Frazin / Jul 26, 2024 at 6:26 PM
Vice President Kamala Harris will not seek to ban fracking if she’s elected president, an official with her campaign told The Hill on Friday.
Harris’s position not to support a ban on fracking differs from where she stood when she was running for president last cycle.
While she was one of several Democrats vying for the 2020 nomination, she told CNN, “There’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking.”
However, since that time, she joined the Biden campaign and administration, neither of which supports a ban on fracking
Since Harris became the party’s likely nominee after Biden dropped out of the race, Republicans, including former President Trump, have highlighted her 2019 stance.
“She wants no fracking,” Trump told supporters this week during a rally in Charlotte, N.C. “You’re going to be paying a lot of money. You’re going to be paying so much. You’re going to say ‘bring back Trump.’”
A spokesperson for Harris’s campaign pushed back, saying, “Trump's false claims about fracking bans are an obvious attempt to distract from his own plans to enrich oil and gas executives at the expense of the middle class.”
“The Biden-Harris Administration passed the largest ever climate change legislation and under their leadership, America now has the highest ever domestic energy production,” the spokesperson said in an email. “This Administration created 300,000 energy jobs, while Trump lost nearly a million and his Project 2025 would undo the enormous progress we’ve made the past four years.”
Project 2025, a plan from the Heritage Foundation think tank, is not directly affiliated with the Trump campaign. Though portions of it are written by former Trump administration officials, Trump has sought to distance himself from it.
Fracking is a technique for extracting oil and gas that has been linked to water contamination and other pollution. Candidates’ positions on the issue may impact their standing in Pennsylvania, a key swing state that is also a major gas producer.

There's no reason to put a name on it. But there are names for it, prostitute, tramp, slut, homewrecker, whire.
What is sexist is to judge that worse than you would men. At least at some point in his life and in some circumstance, Trump had no morals in this area. Same exactly true for Harris. The difference is, that's what all these women hate about Trump. And then refuse to look at the double standard.
One thing that Trump was never accused of was sleeping with women for money, gifts, etc.

Catholics warn of Kamala Harris’ record of ‘anti-Catholic bigotry’

Vice President Kamala Harris waves as … more >
By Valerie Richardson The Washington Times Tuesday, July 23, 2024
Vice President Kamala Harris’ pro-abortion views and “anti-Catholic bigotry” are ringing warning bells for advocates of the faith, which has about 71 million members in the U.S.
No sooner had President Biden dropped out of the race Sunday than traditional Catholics sounded the alarm on what CatholicVote called Ms. Harris’ history of “anti-Catholic bigotry,” citing incidents that date to her days as California attorney general and U.S. senator.
With Mr. Biden’s exit, Ms. Harris emerged as the presumptive 2024 Democratic presidential nomination, teeing up a race against former President Donald Trump, the Republican nominee.

“Since the day she stepped into public life, Kamala Harris has epitomized gross incompetence, corruption and shameless bigotry that have become the mark of hard-left politicians,” CatholicVote President Brian Burch said. “She has specifically targeted people of faith and pro-life citizens for their beliefs and defense of the most defenseless in our society.”
One memorable example: Her 2018 quizzing of federal judiciary nominee Brian Buescher about his membership in the Knights of Columbus, a men’s Catholic fraternal organization with 2 million members known for its pancake breakfasts and charitable work.
Ms. Harris, who at the time was a senator on the Judiciary Committee, asked Mr. Buescher if he knew that the group “opposed a woman’s right to choose” and if he had “ever, in any way, assisted with or contributed to advocacy against women’s reproductive rights.”
She and Democratic Sen. Mazie Hirono of Hawaii, who asked if he would quit the Knights if confirmed, were accused of imposing a religious litmus test on federal judicial nominees in violation of Article VI of the Constitution. Mr. Buescher was ultimately confirmed.
“Not only has Harris characterized Catholic Church teachings as ‘extreme’ and disqualifying for the federal judiciary, but she has also helped lead an administration that sought to weaponize the government against their political opponents,” Mr. Burch said.
Last week, she declared at the NAACP National Convention that supporting abortion access “does not require anyone to abandon their faith or their beliefs,” a statement blasted as “outrageous” by Ed Whelan, distinguished senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center.
“Kamala Harris has no business using her government position to tell Americans how their faith should inform their views on legal protections for the unborn,” he told the Catholic News Agency.
Kenneth Craycraft, professor of moral theology at Mount St. Mary’s Seminary and School of Theology, said Ms. Harris’ “anti-Catholic bigotry” has been on display for years.
“Kamala Harris has not hidden her intention to institute policies against the Catholic Church, and against individuals, organizations, and institutions whose beliefs, positions, and policies are consistent with the moral theology of the Church,” Mr. Craycraft wrote on X.
Examples of where Ms. Harris has clashed with conservative Catholics and Christians often — but not always — involve her support for unfettered abortion access. They include:
• As California attorney general, she backed a 2015 state law requiring pro-life pregnancy centers to offer abortion referrals. The U.S. Supreme Court struck down the law on free-speech grounds;
She also authorized a 2015 raid on the home of pro-life activist David Daleiden over his hidden-camera probe into Planned Parenthood affiliates selling fetal tissue from abortions for research. Pro-life groups accused her of a conflict of interest based on her campaign support from Planned Parenthood;
• In the Senate, she sponsored the 2019 Do No Harm Act, which would have overridden religious objections to providing birth control in employer insurance plans and performing abortions and gender-transition procedures at Catholic hospitals;
• She cosponsored the 2017 Equality Act, which would ban discrimination based on gender identity, allowing biological males who identify as female to access girls’ and women’s facilities. The bill also exempts itself from the Religious Freedom Restoration Act;
• During her failed 2019 presidential campaign, she suggested that states should be required to obtain pre-clearance from the Justice Department before passing abortion restrictions.
Last year, Ms. Harris was mocked for her speech on abortion rights in which she said the Declaration of Independence guaranteed the right to “liberty and the pursuit of happiness” without mentioning life.
“Kamala Harris is a left-wing demagogue who is even more aggressive in promoting abortion, and even more extreme in her hostility to religious freedom rights, than Joe Biden,” said C.J. Doyle, Catholic Action League executive director.
The Washington Times reached out to the Harris campaign for comment.
Ms. Harris defended her record on religious freedom during the 2020 vice presidential debate after Vice President Mike Pence accused her of attacking judicial nominees over their beliefs.
“Joe Biden and I are both people of faith, and it’s insulting to suggest that we would knock anyone for their faith,” Ms. Harris said. “And, in fact, Joe, if elected, will be only the second practicing Catholic as President of the United States.”
Guthrie Graves-Fitzsimmons, author of “Just Faith: Reclaiming Progressive Christianity,” praised her in a Monday op-ed for MSNBC, saying that she “embodies our nation’s founding ideal of religious freedom and models a Christian commitment to religious pluralism.”
Conservative Catholics decried Mr. Biden’s veer to the left as president, but the Democrat had an ace in the hole: He’s a lifelong Catholic. Ms. Harris, a Baptist who attended Baptist and Hindu services growing up, has no such card.
Despite his well-known Catholic faith, Mr. Biden won just 52% of the Catholic vote in 2000, barely topping Mr. Trump, a non-Catholic who captured 47%, according to Edison Research exit polling.
Another wrinkle: Mr. Trump’s running mate, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, converted to Catholicism in 2019 and has been outspoken about his Catholic faith.
“Harris should be concerned about the impact CatholicVote’s galvanizing of Catholic voters — who boast a heavy presence in numerous key swing states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan — could have on her 2024 ambitions,” Mr. Burch said.
[Doug] Has this childless radical ever acknowledged these millions and millions of abortions involve the taking of an innocent human life, that her opponents have a valid point to make?
The woman is not a uniter by any stretch.
First woman President, if it's her, will be a woman who never gave birth, never raised a family, got her first political appointment by selling out her womanhood, and calls those who won't kill innocent unborn unfit for office if they won't renounce their faith.

So, can people we need be reached with the truth?

Unfortunately, mostly no. People change their minds on their own when they're good and ready, not because opposition (us) points out Left flaws.

Here's another example:
Kamala's Radical Pastor
https://freebeacon.com/democrats/an-inspiration-to-me-always-meet-kamala-harriss-radical-pastor/
6 days after 9/11 he said, "America, is there anything you did to set up this climate?" Brown asked the audience. "Ohhhh—America, what did you do?"
Reminds us exactly of Reverend Wright. Hannity harped on that endlessly. Obama was the furthest Left Senator - with Marxist roots - and won - twice.
Only saving grace, Harris doesn't have Obama's skill set.
I hear moderate Dems starting to take another look at RFK jr. It will all come down to the hate level of DJT because both sides will need all their voters.

Kamala Is the $2.5 Trillion Woman
https://mailchi.mp/5a579f78c605/unleash-prosperity-hotline-886-weekend-edition-869432
Most of the time vice presidents don't have a big impact on policy. It was FDR's first veep, John Nance Garner, who once famously declared the job "wasn't worth a warm bucket of spit."
But Kamala Harris has had a profound impact on Bidenomics. When she wasn't busy un-securing the border, she provided the tie-breaking vote for final passage in the Senate for both the $1.9 trillion America Rescue Plan in 2021 and the nearly $700 billion for the Green New Deal "Inflation Reduction Act."
Those massive spending bills detonated the biggest debt bomb in American history.
Last week, Kamala openly boasted about her pivotal role in passing Bidenomics - and we will take her word for it.
There's a good recap here of Kamala's impact on the federal budget in this Fox News clip this past weekend featuring Unleash Prosperity co-founder Stephen Moore.
Video: https://www.foxnews.com/video/6359483505112
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Like Rep Jim Clyburn said, "We al knew..." [This spending would lead to this inflation.]
Can't run from that record, especially when your plan is to do more of the same.

Hersh: Obama, Harris Threatened Biden With 25th Amendment

I personally don't trust Hersh, but something very much like this happened. And it's crooked.
The 25th amendment wasn't intended as a blackmail device.
Once again these power addicted clowns put politics ahead of country.
Not fit to run for President means not fit to be President. But THEY don't care. Meanwhile Hezbullah, Houttis, Gazans and Putin attack allies without fear of US retribution.
If Biden's endorsement was made under duress, isn't it worthless??
If Biden's letter of removal from race was made under duress, isn't it non-binding.
Next move is for Biden to change (what is left of) his mind.

The thing I’m waiting to see is what pound of flesh Dr. Shadow President Mrs. Biden extracted and the timing for that reveal. I will clearly happen after the election, and subject to modification depending on whether or not Harris wins. Perhaps we should compile a list of candidates:
• Pardonpolooza!
• Gold plated presidential library & perpetual money laundering machine
• Gotta mull this one, but I bet there are certain people in the admin with interesting stories to tell or otherwise have something on the Bidens. Bet’cha someone is making a list, identifying the bribes, threats, or combo thereof most likely to work, gaming out what targets the Republicans will likely go after, game out different responses depending on who’s controlling the senate, house, and WH, etc. Joe clearly doesn’t have the cognitive octane to do so, while Dr. Mrs. Shadow Harpie Jill has the will, but not the political acumen so some trusted aide has got to be gaming this stuff out.
What else?
Oh, and I don’t trust Hersh any further than I can spit a rat, but stopped clocks and all that….

Jefferson chopped down because he owned slaves

O'bamster just below Truman and above Eisenhower who only led us through both WW2 as allied supreme commander and through much of the cold war.
then LBJ who got us deeply into Vietnam but that gets blamed on Nixon and LBJs civil right legislation belongs to the ages :roll: of course the Great Society without which we would not have such project monstrosities
and JFK #10 even though he was president for what less than 3 yrs and got us out of the Cuban missile crises by removing missiles in Europe.
Clinton above J Adams - of course :roll: If only J Adams had focus groups and pollsters.
and OF COURSE JOE BIDEN JUST BEHIND J ADAMS BUT OF COURSE AHEAD of Woodrow Wilson ( but wait didn't he like the movie 'Birth of a Nation'?)
and of course both ahead of Reagan who seems to slip down while Carter moves up. hmmmm.
Carter somehow ranked # 22 despite being blown out in 1980 election.
Of course we know who is ranked dead last.
So yes the historians (who of course are not partisan) have already lifted Biden from the basement where he belongs
along with Carter Buchanan
and Harding.

It all makes sense down to the Klooney letter going through Obama or whoever spearheaded this. Also Axelrod speaking up earlier meant this was already going on behind the scenes and they were showng him they were serious.
The story published taints Harris's candidacy; it's all built on dishonesty and they're still being dishonest about it. Can they bury the Hersh story with a pillow until it stops breathing? It really just puts to words what everyone can plainly see.
It taints the remainder of his Presidency as well, which helps sink her candidacy as well.
It's plenty close but she's already losing in every swing state except Minnesota and the honeymoon is over. (MN is a Swing state?!)
There's no way they went through all this without at least one more shoe still to drop...
I said she would last 2 weeks, but at some point they have to print ballots for all their early voting fraud.
If this ends up the way it's headed, plenty of people are going to want to sell their story as the ship goes down.

perhaps they could qualify with *rich* "white dudes for Harris".

Coolidge at 34? Should be top 3 or 4, that tells me all I need to know about these liberal professors who call themselves "historians" but don't know economics is part of history.
FDR (#2?) waited until Pearl Harbor was destroyed to notice the rising threats around the world affect us. The "historians" don't know much about foreign policy either.

Kamala Harris performed her first big political backflip of the presidential campaign on the weekend, reversing her support for a ban on fracking for oil and gas. Her election conversion is political damage control, but would she continue the Biden Administration’s regulatory siege against fossil fuels?
Running for president in 2019, Ms. Harris averred “there’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking.” While popular among progressives, a fracking ban doesn’t play well in working-class areas, especially Pennsylvania, which is the second largest natural gas producing state after Texas.
A President can’t ban fracking on private and state land or limit existing production on federal land. But that hasn’t stopped the Biden Administration from using every regulatory tool to curtail oil and gas production.
Days after taking office Mr. Biden imposed a moratorium on new lease sales on federal lands. After this was blocked in court, his Administration slow-walked drilling permits and auctions. The Environmental Protection Agency has tightened methane regulations, increasing production costs and making some wells uneconomic. The White House also directed federal agencies to incorporate climate in environmental reviews so they can block fossil-fuel projects solely because of CO2 emissions.
At the same time the Administration has sought to reduce demand for oil and gas with rules that effectively mandate more electric vehicles and bar new natural gas power plants. It has paused permits for new liquefied natural gas (LNG) export projects. Don’t forget the green energy subsidies that make fossil-fuel electric power less competitive.
The EPA has also proposed regulations that would force existing gas power plants to close. It has floated designating Texas’s Permian Basin in violation of ozone standards, which would require substantial reductions in production. Does Ms. Harris plan to finish these rules?
She would have to go further to achieve the Administration’s goal of a carbon-free electric grid by 2035. Mr. Biden’s climate ambitions have been constrained by the political imperative of winning West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin’s support for his nominees. Ms. Harris might not be similarly encumbered.
Does she support maintaining Mr. Biden’s “pause” on LNG export projects? If the press won’t ask, why doesn’t Mr. Trump?

Kamala’s staff turnover rate is 90% plus, which I think speaks loudly to her leadership skills. Trump and Biden’s staff turnover is 70% plus each, which also strikes me as high. With that said, I suspect the comparison is likely apples to oranges as I suspect the pressures under which the various staffs work while the enticements staffers are offered to jump ship likely differ too:

I hope someone bothers to ask her a question about this as IMO this metric strongly correlates w/ leadership ability.

"I hope someone bothers to ask her a question about this (90% Harris staff turnover) as IMO this metric strongly correlates w/ leadership ability."
It will come up when Trump is accused of the same. He had trouble getting the right people but when he did, they stayed and they performed well. Mike Pompeo at Secretary of State for example and Robert O'Brien at national security adviser, after some other mistake picks.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/09/19/trump-chose-exactly-national-security-adviser-he-country-need/
Trump had angry (or failed) advisers as well but John Bolton for example served a purpose. Having a very publicly hawkish national security adviser while negotiating with Kim Jung Un helped Trump to tame this enemy. Bolton couldn't keep straight that he was there to advise, not set policy.
Trump's economic team was VERY competent, and it was measurable in results and in polling after his administration. A large majority currently trust Trump more on the economy. Kevin Hassett, Larry Kudlow, Steve Moore were excellent choices and proved it. They didn't have issues with Trump.
Funny how certain people on the Left, Hillary Clinton, Amy Klobuchar and Kamala Harris have more ego than competence. Margaret Thatcher didn't have any of those problems so it isn't simply a gender issue.
The contrast is stark. Look at what Trump accomplished out of what he set out to do. A major tax reform package, Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, passed and succeeded. Building the wall (needed two terms). Putting Xi on the defensive. Containing Putin and Hamas. Killing Soleimani, stopping Iran. 3 great picks onto the Supreme Court. Look at what Harris has been tasked with, casting the deciding vote on $3 trillion of purely inflationary spending, 'solving' the border crisis... Her staff isn't proud of their accomplishments?
She brought down the entire concept of a DEI hire.

Kamala's NatSec Adviser Probed Over Ties to Iranian Influence Network
'The Biden-Harris Administration is no stranger to Iran accommodators, appeasers, and accomplices,' Cotton and Stefanik write
Adam Kredo
July 31, 2024
Sen. Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) and Rep. Elise Stefanik (R., N.Y.) launched a probe into Vice President Kamala Harris's national security adviser over his ties to an Iranian government influence network, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.
In a Wednesday letter to Harris, Cotton and Stefanik asked the presumptive Democratic nominee to provide information about her adviser Phil Gordon's "connections to Ms. Ariane Tabatabai, a senior Department of Defense official who was reportedly involved in an Iranian government operation to expand Tehran's soft power in the United States."
Gordon, the letter notes, coauthored at least three opinion pieces with Tabatabai that argued against sanctions on the Iranian regime. Tabatabai was outed last year as an alleged member of an Iranian-run influence network that reported back to Tehran's foreign ministry.
Gordon's connections to Tabatabai are fueling concerns ahead of the 2024 election. Gordon is likely to play a central national security role in a Harris White House, and his connections to pro-Tehran advocacy groups suggest that renewed diplomacy with Iran will be a top foreign policy priority for Harris if she is elected.
Cotton and Stefanik are primarily concerned about Gordon's access to classified information and want to know if his ties to Tehran's enablers might disqualify him from holding a top-secret security clearance.
Gordon, the lawmakers note, published pieces with Tabatabai "blatantly promoting the Iranian regime's perspective and interests." Those pieces were published after the time Tabatabai was alleged to be working for the Iran Experts Initiative (IEI), an influence network that included several American policymakers associated with the Biden administration's former Iran envoy, Robert Malley, who was indefinitely suspended from his job amid allegations that he leaked classified information.
In a March 2020 article, Gordon and Tabatabai "claimed continued sanctions on Iran would create 'catastrophe' in the Middle East," Cotton and Stefanik wrote in their letter. In another piece, according to the lawmakers, Gordon and Tabatabai "wrote sanctions could lead to new Iranian efforts to 'lash out with attacks on its neighbors, and on Americans and American interests in the Middle East.' Each prediction was as wrong, as it was biased in favor of Tehran."
Gordon is also "closely associated with the National Iranian American Council (NIAC), another Iranian influence organization that allegedly collaborates with Tehran," according to the letter. NIAC has long faced allegations of serving as Iran's unregistered lobbying arm in America and was a player in the Obama administration's self-described pro-Tehran "echo chamber." Gordon spoke at NIAC's Leadership Conference in 2014 and 2016, before and after his time serving in the Obama administration as a Middle East hand working on the nuclear agreement with Iran.
"The Biden-Harris Administration is no stranger to Iran accommodators, appeasers, and accomplices," Cotton and Stefanik wrote. "Ms. Tabatabai remains gainfully employed in the Defense Department, helping oversee sensitive special operations. The FBI is investigating your former Special Envoy for Iran Robert Malley for passing classified intelligence to Tehran and your Special Envoy Amos Hochstein allegedly passed intelligence about Israeli airstrikes to Hezbollah potentially as recently as this weekend."
The lawmakers pressed the vice president's office to come clean about Gordon's ties to the pro-Tehran advocacy world and about the nature of his relationship with Tabatabai.
"When you hired Mr. Gordon, were you aware of his connections with Ariane Tabatabai, the IEI, and the NIAC?" Cotton and Stefanik asked. "Did Mr. Gordon undergo security screening and receive a security clearance when you hired him? Does he have an active security clearance?"
The lawmakers also want to know if Harris initiated an investigation into Gordon after "Tabatabai's connections to the Iranian Foreign Ministry were revealed in September 2023."
"Did Mr. Gordon admit and report his ties to this individual?" they asked. "Have you or Mr. Gordon met with other members of the IEI, including Ali Vaez? Have you met with Ms. Tabatabai personally?"
"As the Vice President do you support Ms. Tabatabai's continued employment at the Department of Defense?" the lawmakers went on. "As the Vice President what specific actions will you take to address the issue of Iranian sympathizers, aside from yourself, within the Administration?"
In his 2014 speech to the NIAC, Gordon said that a "nuclear agreement [with Iran] could begin a multi-generational process that could lead to a new relationship between our countries."
NIAC continues to champion diplomacy with Iran and praised Harris in 2020 for committing to reenter the nuclear deal after former president Donald Trump abandoned it.
In a 2018 op-ed written with Malley, Gordon argued that "Iran sanctions won't advance U.S. interests."
"Far from convincing Tehran to cooperate, new U.S. measures are on track to achieve the exact opposite," Gordon and Malley wrote in Foreign Policy magazine. "In Trump's vision, sanctions are a quasi-magical, multi-purpose tool: They would force Iran back to the table to accept an improved nuclear deal, include restrictions on Tehran's ballistic missiles program, and give inspectors unlimited access."

2nd post. Proclivities her handlers are now seeking to conceal:
Kamala Harris’s Joe Biden Problem
A selected Kamala Harris will become the only presidential nominee of the two parties in the modern era, who has never once entered, much less won, a single primary.
And it is hard to think of a single statement or position that Kamala Harris has not suddenly disowned or now rejected.
It is near miraculous how for three-and-a-half years Kamala Harris was the Biden administration’s megaphone for its hard-left craziness.
She was the go-to emissary to the radical Democratic base. Yet now she seems to be copying Trump on secure borders, legal only immigration, support for law enforcement, and fracking.
Still, when the Kamala hysteria subsides, Harris may well suffer the fate of Michael Dukakis, as James Pierson recently noted.
After the giddiness of the July 1988 Democratic convention, the Democratic nominee Michael Dukakis was leading incumbent president George H.W. Bush in the Gallup poll by 17 points.
Yet he was crushed by Bush in November by a 7.8 points. Why and how?
Bush’s politico Lee Atwater in series of brutal but accurate ads (the tank fiasco ad, the Willie Horton revolving door ad, the polluted Boston Harbor ad, etc.) accurately redefined Dukakis (a far more capable, kind, and well-spoken official than Kamala Harris) as an unapologetic Massachusetts far-left liberal.
And by the way, the 1988 election was the last time Republicans won 51 percent of the presidential vote. Apparently, the Republican party grandees decided never again to “lower” themselves to the Atwater level. And so, they have gone on to lose “nobly” seven of the last eight popular votes.
One of the most demagogic Harrisisms was her 2020 claim that the pseudo-martyr Jussie Smollett was a victim of American racism and homophobia. Here is what she gushed:
“Jussie Smollett is one of the kindest, most gentle human beings I know. I’m praying for his quick recovery. This was an attempted modern-day lynching. No one should have to fear for their life because of their sexuality or color of their skin. We must confront this hate.”
The Left until late June used to refer to her as our “border czar.” And indeed, she insisted the nonexistent border was “secure,” even as her own administration unapologetically welcomed an influx of 10 million illegal aliens.
In her role, Harris envisioned dismantling ICE, opposed the wall, and did not consider illegal entry into the U.S. a crime.
Americans were talked down to by Harris and told not to say, “illegal alien”—as she ritually introduced herself with her pronouns “she/her”.
Harris was an early vocal supporter of the green new deal that would have bankrupted the middle class.
The word cop Harris also sermonized us not to utter the phrase “radical Islamic terrorism”—as if, say, the 9/11 killers were not radical, were not Islamic, and were not terrorists?
(Just this week at the Olympics when the Israeli national anthem was played, radical pro-Hamas crowds waved their Palestinian flags, while wildly saluting and chanting “Heil Hitler”).
In the recent pre-July 21st world of Kamala Harris, there should be no private health care, but certainly free government coverage for illegal aliens.
If you currently legally own a supposed “assault weapon” the government has a right nonetheless to force (“mandated”) you to sell it to them.
For Harris, a country $36 trillion in debt, with $1.2 trillion in interest payments per year, in its seventh decade of affirmative action, ever increasing DEI mandates and virtual quotas, and over $20 trillion spent on Great Society poverty programs should nevertheless go ahead with racial reparations—a policy that even Californians reject.
All abortions are to be permitted on demand to the moment of birth. (We are not told by Harris the method of terminating the baby in passage through the birth canal.)
Police should be defunded, and thousands of imprisoned criminals released. Harris vocally supported California’s disastrous de facto legalization of shoplifting and “misdemeanor” theft of items less than $950.
She sought to raise bail funds for the 2020 rioters, many of them arrested for street violence, assault, and looting.
Her most infamous demagoguery was her CBS interview with Steven Colbert when she boasted that the ongoing 2020 protests (quite violent despite her fact-checkers’ efforts to “contextualize” Harris’s vitriol) would not cease:
“They’re not going to stop. This is a movement, I’m telling you. They’re not going to stop, and everyone beware, because they’re not going to stop. They’re not going to stop before Election Day in November and they’re not going to stop after Election Day. They’re not going to let up and they should not, and we should not.”
Note how Harris called the Antifa-BLM orchestrated violence a “movement”. Note her threats that the turmoil would not stop and “should not” stop. Note her warning “beware”. Note how she shamelessly linked the leftwing protests to the 2020 Election Day, emphasizing their assumed political utility.
In 2020, the Left found old Joe Biden from Scranton a useful “moderate” and “unifying” veneer for a hard-core, Obama third-term agenda—thanks to Biden’s long senate career and his Delaware pseudo-working man schtick.
But Harris was first a Bay-Area leftist, second a California hard-core progressive, and third a failed 2020 primary candidate who tried to vie with Bernie Sanders for the Democratic socialist base—on the assumption she had a harder left record in the Senate than Sanders himself.
So, the 2024 Harris campaign may again emulate the 2020 formula of keeping the gaffe-prone, cognitively challenged candidate in the basement.
Like Joe Biden, Harris’s deer-in-the-headlights moments are not sporadic but characteristic. And so the only remedy is as much seclusion from the public as possible.
And her handlers, as in the case of Biden, may again count on the 2020 revolutionary changes in state ballot laws to ensure that nearly 70 percent of voters do not cast ballots on Election Day.
But in 2024 they will not be able again to veneer the hard-core leftwing Harris and repackage her as a middle-class centrist.
There was never any such thing as good ol’ moderate Kamala from Berkeley.

strongly recommend the first part of the podcast about the debt hydrogen bomb x 50 that will hit the US at the rate we are going and will accelerate under Harris who wants free college debt relief 6 month *paid" child care Medicare for all
and good knows how many other social programs despite we will soon be unable to pay the ones we have.

Stick to the policies Don!
How about pointing out Kamala wants people to afford food education etc etc yet the easy response what the hell is she talking about.
She was in the White House for the past 4 yrs and that is exactly why prices skyrocketed etc.
I really can't believe all of these rabid Black women for Harris on the networks
They look like they are on pervitin ready to kill all Rs who stand in the way of Kamala.
They are even worse then the DNC Jews as far as closed minded opinionated.
I just don't get it the total lack of logic or concern. It is all emotional.
Kamala will drive this nation into the deepest trenches of the Pacific.

she has been taking speeching lessons for obama
listen to how she voice rises at the end of many words just like him
this is all we are ever going to see of her.
she is handed the lines
and she reads them
no interviews unless she knows all the questions in advance and has her minions formulate answers for her to recite.
I don't get how a Jewish man could be married to this phony.
She remembers planting a tree for israel
as a child -->>>> :roll:
thus we know she is a WARRIOR for Israel (ie keep the money flowing from dumb rich jews)
who just can't be silent how Israeli soldiers kill tooo many civilians.... :wink:
I don't know if I will make it to November folks.
if this kook and the Obamastines (remember the Philistines?)
get another 4 yrs we are cooked.

"The Harris campaign clearly realizes that she gets into trouble when she is unscripted which is likely why she not yet held a press conference. But sooner or later, she will have to face reporters. She will also participate in a debate with Trump, who has become decidedly more disciplined this time around."
I will not believe for 1 second that someone will leak the questions of any debate to Harris handlers .
She reminds me of that boxer from the movie 'The Harder They Fall" who is managed and controlled by the mob who advertise him as this great boxer when in fact the whole show is rigged to make him look good.

Harris’ top ten radical positions the MSM is currently seeking to … would it be politically incorrect to say “whitewash?”
https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/elections/top-10-most-liberal-positions-vice-president-kamala-harris-has-held-over
We are finding SO MUCH material on her, yet she polls better than the alleged moderate. We need to get this whole lost out and then zero in on the ones that matter most.
She is/was the Left-most Senator. Our message needs to be: What's Wrong with Left?
Here is the list from the link:
1. Black Lives Matter rioters and criminal justice
Following the death of George Floyd, Harris shared on social media the Minnesota Freedom Fund in June 2020 amid the Black Lives Matter riots. The fund gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to free a twice convicted rapist and a woman charged with stabbing her friend to death. Of the more than $41 million raised by the fund, only a fraction of it was used to free rioters.
Harris called for ending the cash bail system during her 2020 presidential campaign.
2. Healthcare
Harris was an original co-sponsor of Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-Vt.) "Medicare for All" legislation in 2019. She echoed claims that Sanders’ bill allowed "supplemental" plans and therefore didn’t eliminate private insurance. Then Harris released her own Medicare for All plan where there would be a 10-year transition period to Medicare for All while allowing private insurance plans to continue.
3. Energy and The Green New Deal
Harris introduced the Green New Deal legislation with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) in 2020. The measure could have cost up to $93 trillion, according to the American Action Forum. The Heritage Foundation estimated that the Green New Deal would wipe out more than 5.2 million jobs by 2040 at a peak employment shortfall.
She also co-sponsored a ban on offshore drilling in 2017.
During the 2020 presidential race, Harris said she supported banning plastic straws and reducing the consumption of red meat nationwide.
She also said in 2019 that she supported banning fracking. However, since joining Biden’s campaign in 2020, she has reversed that stance, and in an about-face, Harris’s campaign said last week that she doesn’t support bans on fracking.
4. Gun control
In 2019, Harris said that in her first 100 days as president, she would take executive action to ban imports of AR-15 rifles. The Washington Post reported that in fact, soon after Obama’s election, domestic production of semiautomatic rifles surpassed the previous year by nearly 60 percent. According to Statistica, most of the more than 20 million AR-15 rifles in the U.S. have been made domestically.
During the 2020 presidential race, she also supported a ban on new sales of assault weapons and a mandatory buyback program for confiscating Americans’ assault weapons.
In the 2008 District of Columbia v. Heller case, Harris filed an amicus brief as the San Francisco district attorney, arguing that there is not a broad constitutional right to gun ownership.
5. Immigration and open borders
During a 2018 Senate confirmation hearing for Ronald Vitiello to lead Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), after asking Vitiello about the Ku Klux Klan, Harris asked whether there were parallels between perceptions of ICE and the KKK. Vitiello said he didn’t see any parallels.
In 2018, Harris said, “I think there’s no question that we’ve got to critically re-examine ICE, and its role, and the way that it is being administered, and the work it is doing. And we need to probably think about starting from scratch." However, Harris’s spokesperson later said that the then-senator was considering "a complete overhaul of the agency, mission, culture, operations."
Harris was named – albeit euphemistically – as Biden’s border czar in March 2021. Nomenclature aside, she was assigned the task of resolving root causes of the border crisis. Last week, the GOP-led House, including six Democrats, passed a resolution "strongly condemning" Harris for her performance as the "border czar." The House resolution noted that there have been 9.7 million illegal immigrant encounters nationwide since January 2021.
6. Abortion
When she ran in the 2020 presidential race, Harris criticized Biden’s campaign’s position supporting the Hyde Amendment, which prevents most federal funding of abortion. However, Biden had said he changed his mind and no longer supported the amendment.
Harris is believed to be the first sitting VP to visit an abortion clinic, which she did in Minnesota in March. As a senator, Harris, along with more than two dozen other senators co-sponsored the Women’s Health Protection Act, which would have created a national right to abortion.
7. Student loan forgiveness
While running for president in the 2020 race, Harris promoted a student-debt forgiveness plan in 2019 as part of investing in Historically Black Colleges and Universities and black entrepreneurs. Her plan allowed up to $20,000 of student loans to be forgiven for borrowers who received a Pell Grant if they started and operated a business for a minimum of three years in a disadvantaged community.
Later, Harris endorsed Biden’s plant that canceled up to $10,000 of federal student loan debt per borrower.
8. Supreme Court packing
In 2019, Harris said that if she was elected president, she would be open to increasing the number of justices on the U.S. Supreme Court.
“We are on the verge of a crisis of confidence in the Supreme Court,” Harris said at the time. “We have to take this challenge head on, and everything is on the table to do that.”
On Monday, Biden released details of his proposal for changes to the Supreme Court, which called for Congress to establish term limits and an ethics code for the court’s nine justices. Harris endorsed the proposal, which didn’t recommend adding justices to the high court.
9. LGBTQ+ rights
Harris’s 2020 presidential election campaign’s website said that, as president, she would “[r]educe incarceration of LGBTQ+ individuals.”
The website added that she would “[e]stablish a Chief Advocate for LGBTQ+ Affairs in the White House.” When Harris was California attorney general, she refused to defend Proposition 8, which was a ballot initiative outlawing gay marriage that Californians passed with over 52% of the vote.
Earlier this month, the White House came under fire from transgender activists after a spokesperson said that the Biden-Harris administration opposes gender transition surgeries for children. After backlash from LGBTQ+ community demanding affirmation of gender transitions for children, the administration backpedaled and clarified that it did, in fact, support the invasive surgeries for children, according to The Advocate.
10. Inflation
Harris cast the tie-breaking vote in the Senate for the first COVID-19 stimulus package in 2021 which led to rampant inflation. The $1.9 trillion stimulus package resulted in the U.S. inflation rate jumping from 1.4% in 2020 to 7% in 2021.
She also echoed Biden’s State of the Union address in 2022, saying that the record-high gas prices are the "price to pay for democracy" as the U.S. continued to provide billions of dollars in military support for Ukraine following Russia’s invasion. The U.S. State Department estimates that U.S. taxpayers have provided more than $57 billion in military aid since to Ukraine since 2022.

with regards to Obama. Who was left office 8 yrs ago and through his contacts was still affecting policy and now has near total strings to the WH?
I could be wrong but I can't think of anyone.
He is positioned exactly as he said he would dream of.
Sitting at home pulling and pushing many of the levers.

Yes, this is REALLY bizarre. I know it's a cabal, a team, but he has to be at the top of it, the man who walked into the Presidency with no experience. I think he lost control over his succession because a) he had picked Joe who was a disaster, and b) he had edged out Hillary and needed her to get Joe to sit. He lost power just through her campaign because the Clintons had their own people - and their own skeletons to protect. But took it all back in exile under Trump. All the Comey, Mueller FISA crap points to Obama (and the Clintons), starting with bugging Trump Tower.
I have to think Obama knew about the Joe and Hunter business (under his watch) and would rather have seen it buried.
The Palace Coup of July 2024 is something new in America. They ousted Joe but left him in office - or in the basement. The behind the scenes stuff will be a story to tell, and never be told...
Kamala is getting the same hide away treatment; she has not had a press conference in 14 days at the top of the ticket. Not ready for prime time?? She's never had a hostile, tough or challenging interview, and blows it even with softballs. Doesn't matter. She won't be in charge.
She has the same advisers. 'Meet the new boss, same as the old boss'.
One of these days she will read from the teleprompter instructions, "Don't cackle".

Catholics warn of Kamala Harris’ record of ‘anti-Catholic bigotry’
By Valerie Richardson The Washington Times Tuesday, July 23, 2024
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/jul/23/traditional-catholics-warn-of-kamala-harris-recor/
Vice President Kamala Harris’ pro-abortion views and “anti-Catholic bigotry” are ringing warning bells for advocates of the faith, which has about 71 million members in the U.S.
No sooner had President Biden dropped out of the race Sunday than traditional Catholics sounded the alarm on what CatholicVote called Ms. Harris’ history of “anti-Catholic bigotry,” citing incidents that date to her days as California attorney general and U.S. senator.
“Since the day she stepped into public life, Kamala Harris has epitomized gross incompetence, corruption and shameless bigotry that have become the mark of hard-left politicians,” CatholicVote President Brian Burch said. “She has specifically targeted people of faith and pro-life citizens for their beliefs and defense of the most defenseless in our society.”
One memorable example: Her 2018 quizzing of federal judiciary nominee Brian Buescher about his membership in the Knights of Columbus, a men’s Catholic fraternal organization with 2 million members known for its pancake breakfasts and charitable work.
Ms. Harris, who at the time was a senator on the Judiciary Committee, asked Mr. Buescher if he knew that the group “opposed a woman’s right to choose” and if he had “ever, in any way, assisted with or contributed to advocacy against women’s reproductive rights.”
She and Democratic Sen. Mazie Hirono of Hawaii, who asked if he would quit the Knights if confirmed, were accused of imposing a religious litmus test on federal judicial nominees in violation of Article VI of the Constitution.
Examples of where Ms. Harris has clashed with conservative Catholics and Christians often — but not always — involve her support for unfettered abortion access. They include:
• As California attorney general, she backed a 2015 state law requiring pro-life pregnancy centers to offer abortion referrals. The U.S. Supreme Court struck down the law on free-speech grounds;
She also authorized a 2015 raid on the home of pro-life activist David Daleiden over his hidden-camera probe into Planned Parenthood affiliates selling fetal tissue from abortions for research. Pro-life groups accused her of a conflict of interest based on her campaign support from Planned Parenthood;
• In the Senate, she sponsored the 2019 Do No Harm Act, which would have overridden religious objections to providing birth control in employer insurance plans and performing abortions and gender-transition procedures at Catholic hospitals;
• She cosponsored the 2017 Equality Act, which would ban discrimination based on gender identity, allowing biological males who identify as female to access girls’ and women’s facilities. The bill also exempts itself from the Religious Freedom Restoration Act;
• During her failed 2019 presidential campaign, she suggested that states should be required to obtain pre-clearance from the Justice Department before passing abortion restrictions.
Last year, Ms. Harris was mocked for her speech on abortion rights in which she said the Declaration of Independence guaranteed the right to “liberty and the pursuit of happiness” without mentioning life.

-----------------------
[Doug] There you have it. There are differing views on abortion. None should ignore the effect on the mother (situations of rape and of saving her life first) and none should ignore the fact that a small human is killed in the process.
The point with Kamala is not that her view is extreme, but that no other view may be tolerated. Since opposition to abortion has a foundation in religion which is specifically protected in the constitution, hers is an anti-constitutional view.
We watched Republicans overreach the public on abortion and lose elections, but Kamala's position is the most extreme of all.
Ultimate irony: Kamala believes "Reproductive Rights" (abortion) is a natural, total and complete right, the right of the mother to have the unborn killed and removed at any time for any reason at least until birth and the mother must be trusted on that. No one, not the father, not the state, not a judge and certainly not the unborn can say otherwise. But when the child is born, Harris and the Left will take away all kinds of parental rights from school choice and curriculum to the involvement and consent of the parents in the act of child 'gender change'. Once born, the mother is no longer trusted.
The only consistency in her world is that the father has no rights or say before or after birth.

As "Progressive" Dems natter on about their "weird" messaging, there's a single question that, if asked on a regular basis, could prove devastating to ol' Kam's campaign: name one accomplishinment of your vice presidency. Lies and sand in the air is all that will ensue, but IMO it's something to be hammered on:

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/jul/31/kamala-harris-wants-you-to-forget-all-she-once-sto/
Kamala Harris wants you to forget all she once stood for
At the height of the Black Lives Matter movement, Ms. Harris promoted a bail fund that freed men convicted of murder and sexual assault. While out on bail, some committed more crimes. Sounds like what happened to Democratic Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis when Willie Horton, a convicted murderer who had been sentenced to life without parole, received a weekend furlough, traveled to Maryland where he raped a woman after pistol-whipping, stabbing, binding and gagging her fiance. He then stole the car belonging to the man he had assaulted.
As a California progressive from San Francisco, perhaps the most liberal city in the United States, Ms. Harris is apparently all in on the Green New Deal, expansion of entitlements that are the cause of much of our $35 trillion debt, student loan forgiveness (which the Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional), tax increases, which President Biden favors as the Trump tax cuts are to expire next year, a guaranteed income for families making up to $100,000 a year (shades of George McGovern in 1972), free college tuition for families making up to $100,000 a year (co-sponsored by progressive Sen. Bernie Sanders, Vermont independent, and Rep. Pramila Jayapal, Washington Democrat), single-payer health care, which would mean turning our health care over to the government, which does so many things poorly, Medicare for all (unaffordable and see previous comment about government).
She’s also in favor of Mr. Biden’s proposal to transform the Supreme Court into a permanent liberal body.
As California Attorney General [she launched] an investigation into Exxon Mobil over its carbon emissions … and in 2019 she endorsed a nationwide ban on oil and gas fracking...
Ms. Harris once compared Immigration and Customs Enforcement to the Ku Klux Klan. ICE, along with Border Patrol agents, has been impossibly burdened by the Biden-Harris open border policy
-------------------------------------------
Trump is finally hitting his stride against her and making points like these and more.
Like Biden, her word salads aren't the problem, but maybe they expose why she is so vulnerable to having her mind taken over by the extreme Left.
Here's an irony: If past positions don't mater, why are they so obsessed with (mischaracterizing) 3 hours of Donald Trump's life 4 years ago on Jan 6?
Veering to the center for an election is just that. This isn't Lucy and the football in a comic. This is the future of the country and of the world we are talking about.

BBG: "You know, given Hunter's attempts to abandon his out of wedlock child and indeed grandpa Joe's recapitulation of the same perhaps it's time to weaponize this tendency against Harris. Kamala will take care of all that ails you, except if she has a moral obligation to...."
My daughter started her life 'out of wedlock'. The family members I was most afraid of telling were perhaps the most supportive. It's a life, you know, an innocent human life, a member of the family as much as I am.
People give me great compliments for raising my daughter. I shrug it off, it's not heroic to get your own child out of a burning building (figuratively). It's what we all would do. But not the Bidens. Hunter being shameful is no surprise. But Joe, and Jill, disowning, distancing, allowing her to be sued to prevent her from taking the family name. No support from any of them while the family made tens of millions? Disgraceful. No invitation to Thanksgiving. No gift on Christmas. No phone call on the first day of Kindergarten, right while your grandparents bask in the limelight, helping the children of the world. He even declared publicly the number of grandchildren he had and EXCLUDED her. Worst was the only people outraged by such moral absence were the people who wouldn't vote for him anyway. No one swayed either way. To his supporters, 'I see nothing'. I see nothing wrong - except Trump! Now here we go again with the great and wise Second Gentleman (second to whom, Jill isn't a "gentleman"), he knocks up the nanny, ordered 'it' killed. Make it go away. Umm, that was a life, an innocent human life. Tough luck kid. Now back to talking about "male toxicity" and how evil Republicans are.
Not trying to give your own family a better life is about as evil as I know.

Mitch Berg at shotinthedark.info calls him (on local radio) Gov. Klink. During lockdown others call him No Balz Walz. He was never held accountable for his terrible handling of covid. He governs with a Democrat trifecta in a divided state, meaning from my point of view wrong on everything. If you measure Minnesota from afar it is a pretty amazing place with a diverse economy. If you look closer the trend lines on everything under Walz and todat's Democrats, the trend lines on everything are in the wrong direction. The guys at powerlineblog and center for the American Experiment have covered that.
Picking Walz means all the other choices were too controversial for Harris handlers, but to me it has LOSER written all over it. She's dumb enough to pick him but I don't think her handlers are.
He started the "weird" thing, so maybe he is smarter than her handlers.
Trump will make the whole campaign about feeding our future scandal if Walz is picked.
Weird will also backfire on Harris. No one is weirder than her.
In the last clip above, he throws Hillary election denier back into the mix. That could come back to bite them.

I am reading that Gene Sperling, top WH economic advisor is stepping down and thinking due to the state of the economy. But it is worse. He is joining the Harris/Obama team. If we enjoyed the economy of the last 4 yrs why not provide us with another 4 to 8 yrs of the same.
Debt = 60 trillion but don't worry they will tax the rich and it will all be covered. Reparations here we come.

"Stepping down as top economic adviser" (to 'President' Biden).
1. Is Biden still 'President'? I haven't seen him lately.
2. Of course this is a promotion, not stepping down. The campaign is already the Presidency, just two weeks in and without a convention or a public vote. Now he works for Kamala's bosses instead of Joe's bosses (one and the same).
Small irony that the famous line "new boss, same as the old boss” is from a song well known as:
“We Won’t Get Fooled Again”.
Or will we.
Kamala couldn't be more clear and these adviser moves demonstrate it, her campaign slogan is 'More of the Same!' And they mean MUCH MORE - if you elect them.
Hillary said it, "You can't afford all my ideas!" And she was a moderate compared to this cabal.
-
This don't sound like the crew selection dynamics I'd want to march into political fight with:
@shipwreckedcrew
As I understand the way things unfolded, when she accepted VP slot, it came with the same proviso that Obama applied to Biden -- she could not bring her Senate staffers with her en masse. She could handpick one or two, but the balance of her VP staff had to come from list supplied by Biden. Those would have been the people Biden Admin had faith in re loyalty.
She destroyed her VP staff and morale -- just as she had done as AG, in the Senate, and in her campaign.
But when she became the candidate to be designated, she was completely empowered and I suspect over the past 2 weeks she has surrounded herself with people from her old life. We know Anita Dunn departed the WH staff last week, and Gene Sperling left yesterday. They were likely sidelined by new Harris staff who have decided they are in charge now, and Biden has no leverage to push back against them since the media went all in and every Dem backed her.
It is this cabal of Harris loyalists who pushed aside the recommendations for a pick like Shapiro or someone else at least a little bit moderate.
For the Harris loyalists this is the moment they have waited for since 2015 -- the climb of the progressive neo-Marxists to the top of the pyramid in the Dem party. This is not a time to go squishy and call into question what the mandate they expect a victory to represent.
She is going to play the moderate, and Walz is intended to assure the radicals that what they see from Harris is all just facade necessary to get elected.
@shipwreckedcrew
·
3h
Like I said yesterday, their are forces at the top of the Dem party who want Harris to lose in order to open up 2028.
They are the people who whispered in her ear that Walz was a good idea.
Nothing recommends this pick. The political ads write themselves.

Kind of amusing, and likely won't go anywhere, but some folks in TX are suing to keep Harris off the ballot there (among other things), stating she doesn't qualify as a citizen as neither of her parents were, basically claiming she was an "anchor baby" and hence doesn't qualify as a natural born citizen:
This morning the Defendants in The 134 PAC's voter intimidation lawsuit in Fort Worth, added Jane Nelson, the Texas Secretary of State, as a Cross-Defendant. These local activists, sued Secretary Nelson to keep Kamala Harris and Nicole Shanahan off the Presidential ballot in Texas because, they claim, neither of them are "natural born citizens" and therefore cannot appear on any state's ballot for the Presidential election. If Secretary Nelson does not remove them from the ballot, they also seek Secretary Nelson's removal from office, criminal prosecution and damages.

One small difference when she makes (false) campaign promises, WHY DID YOU OPPOSE THAT THE LAST FOUR YEARS?
Why promise something your first day in office next year. You are such an important part of this administration, do it now. Better yet, do it before Trump said it and don't look like such a flip flopping two faced phony.
I hope Trump doesn't call her a (quoting Joe Biden), "lying dog faced pony soldier".

yes.
As I knew they would
same MO as Clinton
If the Rs have a good idea that the Left can live with they steal the idea and pretend it was theirs and they were planning it all the time.
And the media will googoo gaga over it as though it was a brilliant political move "to the center".
Clinton also was a raging lib for 4 yrs before in '96ish he came out with his "the era of big government is over".
The MSM loved it and giddily began calling him a political genius.
They will do the same with Harris (already are).
I we sit and roll our eyes while we get screwed by the media with a 3 card monte .

How about that? The misnamed "Inflation Reduction Act" included a CRACKDOWN on unreported tips not getting taxed and Kamala Harris bragged just this week that she cast the deciding vote in favor.
Update, more:
https://x.com/LizMacDonaldFOX/status/1822584603325997523
But she is against taxing tip income?
Since when? And you believe her??
-
Wow. Good find. Now the challenge is to get past the MSM blackout. As VDH says that will decide this race.
-
Yes. Remember all the new IRS agents in the spending bill. 'Offsetting' all the wasteful spending is a crackdown on unreported tips. Tips are money in the pocket of people who really do work for a living. And it's a gratuity, an extra, not their income.
Trump just circled them on this.
----------------------------------
The pipelines were canceled (Keystone XL), the drilling was canceled (ANWR for one), the fracking ban was enacted, all led to 4 years of high energy prices and they're going up at the pump right now. Now she just flipped on all of it??
They flipped on the border.
WHEN DO THEY ADMIT THEY WERE WRONG? On everything.
Kamala should just endorse Trump instead of endorsing his policies, one by one.
Don't forget about the Dem debate in 2020 where they asked for a show of hands, which of you would eliminate Trump's tariffs on China on the first day. No hands went up. They all endorsed one of Trump's most controversial policies

Why I recently spoke to a DNC loving Jewish person who ardently spoke back to me about Trump- he lies about EVERYTHING . In other words, nothing he says is true.
My response was , well Harris lied to us about Biden's dementia.
The DNCer's response was , "he is not demented"
I said what do you mean ?
Well he has had stuttering problem all his life ------>>>>>>> me _> :-o :? :-( :x :cry:

The "crowd" is all staged, all invited, no public. She even says, hello family and friends, literally.
Blame the private sector for government caused problems. Perfect.
Warm up speaker 1, Gov of North Carolina, sorry, what an asshole. If you must lie to win, the truth must oppose you. As they say, 'the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth so help me God.' Trump lost 3 million jobs? By January 2021, 100% of the covid job losses were from blue state shutdowns. He doesn't know that? Those are Trump job losses? Lie, mislead, deceive.
Princess Kamala begins at 34:30.
Added 16 million Jobs? Inflation down to 3%. That's 50% over a target that 10 times too high.
Inflation started at 1.4%. Inflation isn't down. Inflation is up. Way up. Still more than double what they inherited.
"We know, many Americans, don't feel that progress in their daily lives."
Is that because real wages are down, credit card debt up, debt burden WAY UP?
"We will build, what I call, an opportunity economy. An opportunity economy." - IN case you missed the keyword the first time.
"Opportunity society" is stolen from the other side, opposite of the safety net / hammock society of Democrat free sh*t.

She has a dream of an economy they would like to build. Why didn't they do that when they had the White House and both Chambers of Congress?
Platitudes, "When the middle class is strong, the nation is strong." Divide us.
I didn't know we were a "class" society. Isn't that the opposite of opportunity society?
She's going to focus on one thing people face "as they pay their bills on the kitchen table... (do people still pay bills at the kitchen table? Write checks, lick stamps?)
That one thing she will focus on is "lowering the cost of living". (WHY WAIT?)
She brought us the worst price increases since Jimmy Carter, 1977. And now promises to lower it. NO ECONOMIST SAYS WE WILL LOWER THE COST OF LIVING. DOES SHE NOT KNOW THAT? DID THEY "FACT CHECK" IT.
She worked at McDonalds in school to get spending money. Some of the people there were living off those jobs. When she's President (WHY WAIT?) she's going to work so hard to bring down (LIE) the cost of living.
Umm, more people needed a second job to survive in their years than ever before. Those 16 million new jobs were not 16 million more Americans working.
Big Grocery is KILLING US. We need a bigger government!
As Calif AG she went after companies that "illegally" raised prices. She won back $1 billion for consumers. (How much for lawyers?)
As President, she will go after the bad actors. (Why wait.)
She's going to pass the first ever federal ban on "price guaging" on foods. (A Biden slip?) Obviously a teleprompter read error and she didn't catch it because, of course, she didn't write it. Doesn't even know it.
(An aside, dr. ccp, the way she nods, don't they call that the "yes-yes head tremor?")
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4695227/
She will support the small businesses. Umm, they are the ones with the high prices.
Now contrast with Trump she says. He will raise prices on nearly everything with his (China) tariffs. (I didn't know we buy everything from China and plan to keep doing so.)
"According to his 2025 agenda..." (Umm, the project she refers to is from a think tank, not from trump or the campaign.)
"Now let's talk about housing." "When I was California Attorney General..." (Where are homes more overpriced than California?) (Lawfare didn't bring down housing costs.)
"There is a serious housing shortage and it's driving prices up." (Where is there a greater shortage than California?)
Under her, the government is going to build 3 million new homes for the middle class. (Excuse me, you just let in 10 million more people. 20 million? Where will the other 17 million live?)
The cost of down payments has gone up as well. Answer: Free money!! $25,000!! "We can do this!" "We can do this!!" (Do what? Print more money? No mention of paid for.)
"Landlords are colluding..." (It's called the marketplace. Nobody but government pays over market.)
Free money for children. $6,000! While reducing the deficit. HOW? And how do lottery winners usually end up.
"He already signed a $2 trillion dollar tax cut." (It cut revenues none what so ever. Fact check it.)
Lie, lie, lie, lie.

reasons including poverty, gang violence and corruption.
But Republicans quickly seized on the apparent diplomatic opportunity for Harris, referring to her as the country’s “border czar” responsible for all issues related to the U.S.-Mexico line. Now, more than three years later, her role is a potential political liability as she runs for president as the Democratic nominee and polls show voters broadly disapprove of the Biden administration’s handling of the border.
Harris, in fact, has never been in charge of the border. The Department of Homeland Security manages migration. Her immigration role for the Biden administration has included boosting U.S. aid to Central America, traveling to the region and discouraging potential migrants from making the dangerous journey to the United States.

"Everybody benefits and it pays for itself."

Any idea what went wrong?
Why does it always have to be credit and not a deduction, where you have to earn money to take it?
Madam Vice President, is there any limit to borrowing and printing more money for political giveaways?
Do you have any regrets that the country lost it's world reserve currency status under your watch?

The plan is Price Controls (called something else), and free 25k for first time down payments.
The reason for both is because prices rose so fast.
Why don't we fire the people who made prices rise so fast instead of putting band-aids and "gimmicks" on it.
In the Nixon Library there is a display for each and every of his great achievements. There is no exhibit for the disastrous Nixon Price Wage Freeze.
https://www.nixonlibrary.gov/
In fact, the price freeze is the reason I call Nixon a Democrat. This Democrat proposal proves it.
NPR/PBS had a piece on farmers slaughtering their chickens etc; I couldn't find it. This is from Imprimus:
"Owing to the runaway in feed grains, poultry growers began to slaughter baby chicks, while flour mills, ground between the surging cost of wheat and their own low ceilings, started shutting down. Price controls, as their advocates have claimed all along, do work like magic. They can make things disappear in the twinkling of an eye."

In late July, 1971, Nixon reiterated his adamant opposition to wage and price controls calling them a scheme to socialize America. Yet, less than a month later, in a stunning reversal, he imposed the first and only peacetime wage and price controls in U.S. history. The Nixon tapes, personal tape recordings made during the presidency of Richard Nixon, provide a unique body of evidence to investigate the motivations for Nixon’s stunning reversal. We uncover and report in this paper evidence that Nixon manipulated his New Economic Policy to help secure his reelection victory in 1972. He became convinced that wage and price controls were necessary to grab the headlines away from the defeatist abandonment of the Bretton Woods Agreement and the closing of the U.S. gold window. Nixon understood the impact of his wage and price controls, but chose to trade off longer term economic costs to the economy for his own short-term political gain.

Awkward topic and I'm not the one who brought it up.
Peggy Noonan wrote "She is beautiful. You can’t take a bad picture of her. Her beauty, plus the social warmth that all who have known her over the years speak of, combines to produce: radiance. And it's foolish to believe that this doesn't matter."
https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/mark-finkelstein/2024/08/19/cnns-kasie-hunt-touts-peggy-noonan-kamala-beautiful-radiance
[Doug] I think this was in the article posted her but I couldn't find that quote at the time.
She's beautiful, only in the sense that all living things are. I wonder if she was hottie in her mistress years when she was rewarded with a new BMW for her 'companionship and got the appointment that launched her career.
This "warmth" Noonan speaks of didn't seem to ring true for the 100% staff turnover. I guess they didn't see her as rising and they're a lot closer than we are.
Peggy Noonan is 73. Kamala is in her 50s and if they're going to comment positively on looks, then other views she be welcome.
Our meddling government defines some categories here: https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/health-statistics/overweight-obesity#definition
Release the BMI. 25 and over is o......... and over 30 is ob... . I'm not going to use those words, but the big bad government labels people quite freely. (There's a budget we could cut.)
She doesn't look radiant when she digresses into pointless word salads. She doesn't look charismatic when she nods her head during her own point to indicate she agrees with she agrees with what she is saying. I've seen smooth. Bill Clinton and Barack Obama are smooth. Reagan had it. Kamala looks awkward. Also we can see she is afraid of what she might have to answer by the way she won't let herself get questioned. That's not smooth. That's not poised, and people with strong core principles aren't afraid of being questioned on them.
Her looks in general are neutral IMHO. She's not going to win or lose any votes on her looks.
Hey, an idea, why don't we judge her on policy, intellect, integrity and results?

https://www.christianpost.com/news/kamala-harris-campaign-offers-9-pronoun-options-for-applicants.html
Want to work for Kamala Harris’ campaign? Job applicants have 9 pronoun choices
By Anugrah Kumar, Christian Post Contributor Monday, August 19, 2024
Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign is offering an array of pronoun options for job applicants on its website. The move has sparked various responses across social media platforms, with some users critiquing the focus on pronouns rather than policy substance.
Applicants to the Harris campaign can choose from traditional pronouns such as "he/him" and "she/her." But they can also choose or from a selection of other choices including "they/them," "xe/xem," "ze/hir," "ey/em" and "hir/hir," according to job postings on her campaign website.
The list also includes "hu/hu," a gender-neutral preference to be identified by one's humanity rather than gender. According to Emory University, "hu" is closest to two other genderless, singular pronouns "you" and "who."
The Harris campaign also allows applicants to list themselves with "fae/faer" pronouns, which some associate with a "fluid" identity between multiple genders.
Furthermore, applicants can use "custom" pronouns or be referred to by name only.
Job seekers are also prompted to discuss how they can contribute to a "diverse" workplace culture and are given the option to complete a diversity survey.
Questions include asking applicants to select pronouns and state their gender identity, allowing options such as "transgender" and "non-binary/non-conforming." A third question specifically asks if the applicant is a member of the "LGBTQIA+ community."
Critics on social media have contrasted the extensive list of pronoun choices with what they perceive as a lack of detailed policies on the campaign's website.
Federal agencies have been encouraged under the Biden-Harris administration to adopt "inclusive" language practices, such as using "they/them" as default pronouns. A guide from the U.S. Department of the Interior, obtained by The Daily Wire, instructs employees on the use of inclusive language, telling them to avoid gender-specific terms like "son" and "daughter" to prevent "misgendering" and promote "inclusivity" within the federal workforce.
During the first year of the Biden administration, the U.S. State Department began issuing passports with the nonbinary gender marker "X."
Harris was featured in a July video from her remarks during a roundtable on the impact of the 2022 repeal of Roe v. Wadeon disabled people, where she introduced herself with her name, pronouns and a description of her attire to a group of visually impaired individuals.
"I am Kamala Harris; my pronouns are she and her. I am a woman sitting at the table wearing a blue suit," she said.

Some left coverage of the DNC and the campaign.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/4-things-kamala-harris-needs-to-pull-off-at-the-dnc/ar-AA1p2KXs
4 things Harris and convention must pull off:
1. Keep up the Kamala-mentum [Yes, but they got that by hiding her.]
2. Turn the page on Biden and making Harris a “change candidate” [Take credit and distance herself at the same time, how? And offer change, change to what, further Left policies, or Trump copycat policies?]
3. Make Trump and Vance the candidates of unsafe change [Not as easy as before he had a successful Presidency and after we saw how bad Biden Harris was.]
4. Avoid distractions. {Hide and tamp down the pro-Palestinian protests.]
----------------------------------------------
Left rag VOX makes her challenge look pretty hard:
https://www.vox.com/politics/367389/dnc-2024-kamala-harris-policies-trump-dangerously-liberal
"...there’s reason to think that the GOP may succeed in tarring Harris as a radical. During her ill-fated 2020 primary campaign, today’s Democratic nominee embraced a wide array of profoundly left-wing positions. As a large field of presidential aspirants vied for highly engaged progressives’ attention and donations, Harris said she would ban fracking; reduce funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement; decriminalize unauthorized border crossing; replace all private health insurance with Medicare-for-all; and establish a “mandatory buyback program” for assault weapons. After her campaign ended, in the summer of 2020, she praised the “defund the police” movement. Many of these stances are exceptionally unpopular with the general public. In a poll from 2019, just 27 percent of voters supported the decriminalization of unauthorized border crossing, while in 2020 only 37 percent backed abolishing private health insurance, and in 2021 a mere 15 percent wanted lower police spending in their area. And although some versions of Medicare-for-all poll well, only 37 percent of voters supported it when told that it would involve banning all private health insurance, according to a 2019 KFF poll.
In a recent New York Times poll of three battleground states, 44 percent of voters said Harris was “too liberal,” (while only 34 percent said Trump was “too conservative”). And in a Gallup poll taken in June, 56 percent of voters said that Biden was “too liberal,” while 44 percent deemed Trump “too conservative.” "
Quote above is in left wing Vox today.

One more, The Guardian: Harris must be the candidate of change - and of continuity [Neat trick]
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/aug/20/the-guardian-view-on-the-democratic-convention-kamala-harris-must-be-the-candidate-of-change-as-well-as-continuity
"Ms Harris has moved smoothly into the campaign driving seat." [No, she has hidden herself and the media has done the heavy lifting.]
[Doug] Banning fracking and banning fossil fuels aren't just wild and crazy attacks from the right. It's the policy they had and the policy she wants. Biden canceled a major pipeline his first hour in office, blocking the safest, most efficient way of transporting the fuels we already use. Force us off of gas, curtail supplies means drive up the price. It was intentional. That wasn't all, canceled drilling in ANWR and so on, and Kamala would most certainly have gone further. Biden came to this from the center Left. Harris came at it from the far Left. She's not going to stand up to the far Left. She is Far Left. And she proved she can change her position from what she told voters at any time she wants.
Biden says Harris has great integrity. That from the guy who sold out his office all over the world. See new 291 page impeachment report.
If she has great integrity and vision and policy wisdom and means what she says, why did just change her positions on EVERYTHING to match the polling data in swing states?
Harris wants to reverse the corporate income tax rate cuts under Trump that brought the highest wages to blacks and Hispanics ever, and give us again the highest business tax rates in the world. How does being uncompetitive build up the 'middle class'?
The case against Harris makes itself.

As Biden Chief of Staff, he was suspected Ron Klain of being the puppet master but when he left that appeared the strings were being pulled from higher up and further away.

She owns her record. She owns her words. People got hurt. People got burned.
It cost me tens of thousands to have great property adjacent to the war zones. Walz let them burn. Harris encouraged them, validated them. No one is held accountable.

Umm no she didn't.
From today's Minneapolis Star and sickle , Startribune. I'll get through the paywall if needed but the headline tells the Left talking point um story. Her speech, which ccp correctly pointed out already was read from a teleprompter, earns her ascent. She didn't need to run in primaries, debate the best in her class, even have an interview. She needed to stand up there with joy and read to us how great it will be without any details and without a single followup question.
God you people who buy this are sheep. You can say she's the best one left in the race if that's what you believe but you can't say she earned it. Complete BS. Should be FACT CHECKED, but it won't.
She didn't earn it at any level, not even in the sense Prince King Charles did.
She was anointed King/Queen. On the ear it side, she did just the opposite, every step of the way.

Review and Outlook: The Vice President was vigorous and confident in her DNC acceptance speech, but her lack of substance leaves an opening for Donald Trump. Photo: Annabelle Gordon/Zuma Press
Americans who tuned in to Kamala Harris’s coronation last week heard from plenty of celebrities, labor leaders and politicians. Missing from the “joyous” celebration, however, were entrepreneurs who generate middle-class jobs.
No surprise. Cheered on by the crowd, Democrats took turns whacking “oligarchs” and “corporate monopolists.” By the time Ms. Harris took the stage, the pinatas’ pickings had been splattered around. This is what Democrats plan to do if they win: destroy wealth creators so they can spread the booty among their own.
Corporate greed is “the one true enemy,” United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain proclaimed. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders insisted the party “must take on Big Pharma, Big Oil, Big Ag, Big Tech, and all the other corporate monopolists whose greed is denying progress for working people.” Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey railed against “greedflation” and accused corporations of “extorting families.”
Barack Obama lambasted Donald Trump and his “well-heeled donors.” “For them, one group’s gains is necessarily another group’s loss,” Mr. Obama said. “For them, freedom means that the powerful can do pretty much what they please, whether it’s fire workers trying to organize a union or put poison in our rivers or avoid paying taxes like everybody else has to do.”
Democrats treat wealth as a zero-sum game, and so Mr. Obama’s straw men are rich. They get richer by making everyone else poorer—and taking away from the well-off is the only way to enhance the lives of the poor and middle class. Hence, the left’s plans to raise taxes on “billionaires” and businesses to finance more welfare.
It isn’t enough that the top 1% of earners already pay 45.8% of federal income tax, which funds government services and welfare for the bottom half. As for poisoning rivers, perhaps Mr. Obama forgot that his own Environmental Protection Agency caused the 2015 Gold King Mine disaster, which spilled toxic waste into Colorado’s Animas River.
Quoting Abraham Lincoln, the former president invoked “the better angels of our nature” even as he appealed to America’s darker angels. His speech brought to mind a recent homily by my local parish priest about the dangers of class warfare and envy, one of the seven deadly sins.
Success, the priest explained, isn’t a zero-sum game. When a businessman succeeds, he creates jobs that help the poor. Envying and tearing down the successful makes everyone poorer. Rather than plunder the wealthy, society should celebrate success and try to help everyone prosper.
Democrats derisively refer to such ideas as “trickle-down economics.” They denounce and diminish business success, and claim the wealthy have profited from greed and government support. Who can forget Mr. Obama’s line in 2012 that “if you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that”?
Rather than try to make it easier for businesses to succeed—say, by reducing taxes or easing regulations—Democrats want to do the opposite. They call for “leveling the playing field” and “growing the middle class out,” euphemisms for taxing success so government can hand out money. But government doesn’t create wealth. People do.
While business success isn’t zero-sum, government growth can be. Its expansion makes it more difficult for business to thrive. The result is fewer jobs, lower wages and less tax revenue, which finances essential public services such as law enforcement and the “safety net” for the indigent.
Mr. Trump’s appeal in 2016 partly stemmed from slow economic growth during Mr. Obama’s presidency. The Republican promised to make all Americans richer by liberating businesses from government’s shackles. Mr. Trump’s deregulation and tax cuts worked: Average real wages increased nearly 70% faster during his first three years than during Mr. Obama’s presidency.
Yet most Americans have become poorer under Mr. Biden, as government spending has fueled inflation, which has eroded wages. Job growth has become increasingly concentrated in sectors that depend on government spending. When Democrats talk about boosting the middle class, they mean the class of government workers.
Government, education, healthcare and social assistance account for more than 60% of the new jobs added in the last year. In the 17 states where Democrats boast a “trifecta”—control of the governorship and both legislative chambers—the share is 98%. In the 23 states with Republican trifectas, it’s 47%.
(chart)
Likewise, average wage growth since the start of the pandemic has been lower in high-tax states such as Illinois (13.6%), New York (14.4%) and California (17.2%) than in low-tax Florida (22.5%), Texas (23.3%) and South Dakota (26.9%). If middle-class Americans want to get richer, they ought to move to Miami, Dallas or Sioux Falls.
“As long as we look to legislation to cure poverty, or to abolish special privilege,” Henry Ford once observed, “we are going to see poverty spread and special privilege grow.” That’s the joyous future Americans can expect during a Harris presidency.

Then people realized, she didn't say anything, she's the one who got us in this mess, and people smarter than her are jumping to Trump's side. cf. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Even at her peak, with everything going right, she's not margin of error ahead of Trump.

Speaking of overlapping and connected topics, we have Israel policy and the campaign of 2024.
Where are the "fact checkers" on this? These two things didn't happen "at the same time".
Kamala Harris said the following in her famous speech at the convention. It's no slip of the tongue or misstatement, misprint, misread, or gaffe. Israel policy is the number one issue splitting Democrats and THIS is what they came up with to tell both sides of the divide:
VP Kamala Harris in the biggest speech of her life:
"Let me be clear: I will always stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself and I will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself. Because the people of Israel must never again face the horror that the terrorist organization Hamas caused on October 7th. Including unspeakable sexual violence and the massacre of young people at a music festival."
[Doug: So far so good, a STRONG statement of support of Israel and their right to defend themselves. And a condemnation of the attack against them. Did she stop there? No.]
Kamala Harris continued: "At the same time, what has happened in Gaza over the past 10 months is devastating. So many innocent lives lost. Desperate, hungry people fleeing for safety, over and over again. The scale of suffering is heartbreaking."
[Doug] The lie is, "At the same time", and the intent and result is moral equivalence. Both of these two things shouldn't be happening, she asserts.
But did these two tragic things happen "at the same time"? No. One happened before the other and the timing of that, what she LIED about, means everything. One happened because of the other. The devastation today wouldn't be happening if not for the attacks of 10/7/23. Everyone knows that, so everyone knows she's lying.
The operation in Gaza today was a direct response, hopefully a disproportionate response, to what was launched against them. Want a ceasefire or to avoid war altogether? That's simple. Don't strike first.
Even if you think Israel is the bully, beating up on someone weaker than them. Even if you think Israel has gone too far, the lesson is the same. Don't attack someone stronger than you. Don't attack your neighbors. Don't rape their women. Don't take hostages. And so on.
-----------------------------------------
To be fair, it's the teleprompter people who lied, but to be fair to us, they're the ones making policy and we don't get to interview her, or President Biden.

Even Axios calls it a flip flop.
At what point do they just call her 'spineless'?
She stood in front of a border fence on one of her political ads. Called out on it apparently she supports building a wall. When? After being elected? Aren't they already elected? Need authorization from Congress? How about this?

I am sure Dana Bash will expose Harris for the fraud she is.
More like questions and answers are all agreed upon in advance.
scripted rehearsed and waltz there just in case of emergency (such as she cackles too much when she has a good line and she is so relieved she brought it)
and like we all know she and the media will 24/7 broadcast what a revealing honest up front interview it was.
no gotcha questions or pressing for truth in face of lying.
-
I'm equally skeptical but if they put her too much at ease she may relax and let her true self show through.
They're letting her bring her emotional support Governor with her.

now "pragmatic"
first heard Axeldouche call her that lat pm now seeing other jurnolisters doing same.
She is pragmatic only in knowing her policies are losers, she worked for a loser, she is a loser, so she re labels herself to get the votes and later bring on the policies we all hate with same people same mob crew, same profs, same policy ideologues.

Poet Tarzana Joe observes the campaign:
Like Magic,
I once saw a magician
He was really very good
But none of it was magic
If I’d only understood
That he captured my attention
And received a great ovation
By some crafty misdirection
And rehearsed manipulation
Sparks came from his fingers
And when the smoke had cleared
My card, my keys, my rabbit
Had completely disappeared
Of all the skills that you might learn
Sleight of hand’s a dandy
If you’re a politician
Well, it really comes in handy
You state your firm positions
In English, French, and Spanish
Then say, “Abracadabra”
And just like that, they vanish
I support a ban on fracking
You can’t change my mind, I won’t
Then comes the Hocus Pocus
And suddenly, I don’t
I say we cut the funding
For enforcing Law and Order
It shouldn’t be illegal
If you want to cross a border
I know that’s your position
Cause I heard it and I read it
Now the mesmerizing media
Reports you never said it
You rode a wave of fervor
But enthusiasm’s cooled
People may love magic
But we don’t like being fooled

Harris camp offered $1K to Biden allies before she was floated for board seat on Beau foundation: Hunter laptop emails
By Josh Christenson
Published Aug. 28, 2024, 3:38 p.m. ET
Allies of Joe Biden were skeptical that Kamala Harris was “ready” for the national spotlight during her 2016 US Senate campaign — but were apparently happy to hand over donor lists and even offer her a board seat with the Beau Biden Foundation after her camp dangled a $1,000 contribution, emails on first son Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop show.
If completed, the convoluted transaction flouted the Foundation’s tax-exempt status and may have violated federal election law, experts told The Post this week.
Allies of Harris, then California’s attorney general, contacted Josh Alcorn, Beau Biden’s top political and fundraising adviser, with an unusual request in late 2015 — months after the former Delaware attorney general died of brain cancer.

“Just an FYI – Kamala Harris’s campaign reached out. They’d like to pay us about $1,000 for access to the email list,” Alcorn wrote in a December 30 email to Hunter and Hallie Biden, Beau’s widow.
“The money would go to the [Beau Biden] campaign, then be transferred to the foundation,” explained Alcorn, who ran the Beau Biden Foundation for the Protection of Children from January 2016 to June 2021, according to his LinkedIn profile.
“Seems like a good thing to do, and we would work out a way to get some names and emails from her once her general election is over,” he added. “This isn’t a foundation issue – just a campaign wrap up issue. If either of you have objections, let me know.”
On Jan. 12, 2016, just under two weeks after that exchange, Alcorn floated Harris as a proposed addition to the foundation’s board.

The email exchange ended with Alcorn informing Hunter Biden that he will “try to schedule the call with AG Harris.”
Three former members of the Federal Election Commission (FEC) told The Post that donor list swaps are common and legal among campaigns, as long as each pays fair market rate.
But funneling the Harris payment to the foundation in exchange for the donor list — after the Biden family made clear months earlier that Beau’s campaign funds would be donated to the foundation — would have been a different matter.
“Charitable organizations are not supposed to be involved in transactions with partisan campaign committees,” said Michael Toner, who served as FEC chairman in 2006 and as a commissioner between 2002 and 2007.

The email exchange ended with Alcorn informing Hunter Biden that he will “try to schedule the call with AG Harris.”
“If … the foundation had used that donor list and they’d raised $100,000 and they’re giving that donor list to Kamala Harris’ campaign” for $1,000, explained former FEC commissioner Hans von Spakovsky, who served from 2006 to 2007, “they’ve gone way over the amount of money that can be contributed.”
“They’re not charging the fair market value and that’s the way the FEC looks at things like this,” he added, pointing out that there is currently a $2,000 cap on the amount that campaigns can contribute to other campaigns.
“The fair market value of Campaign A’s list, which it gives to Campaign B, is worth $1,000. That is OK because it is still within the $2,000 limit,” von Spakovsky went on. “But assume that the value of Campaign B’s donor list is $4,000. They have just swapped lists. This was an uneven exchange, resulting in Campaign B making a $3,000 contribution to Campaign A, which is illegal because it violates the $2,000 contribution limit.”
If the donor list came from the foundation itself, he said, that would also amount to “an illegal corporate contribution.”

The Beau Biden Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) corporation, took in a little more than $535,000 in contributions, gifts and grants during its first year of operation in 2016, according to its Form 990 tax filings with the IRS.
The filings also show the foundation checked “No” when asked: “Did the organization engage in direct or indirect political campaign activities on behalf of or in opposition to candidates for public office?”
Making such contributions in exchange for appointments — such as a board seat — could also “raise more direct bribery questions,” according to Bradley Smith, a 2004 FEC chairman who also served as a commissioner from 2000 to 2005.

Harris never accepted the position on the foundation’s board, a role which does not involve compensation, tax filings show.
It’s also unclear whether the Harris campaign funneled any contribution to Beau Biden’s defunct campaign fundraising committee, his PAC or another entity like the Draft Biden super PAC, which Alcorn also headed up.
Joe Biden announced in October 2015 that he would not seek the Democratic nomination, clearing the party’s “establishment lane” for Hillary Clinton, who went on to lose to Donald Trump in the November 2016 general election.
The Draft Biden PAC shuttered in April 2016, per FEC filings. Beau’s committee, Biden for Delaware, and Beau PAC terminated at the end of 2015.
The Post reviewed FEC filings from both the 2016 Harris campaign and the Draft Biden super PAC, as well as the state campaign committees associated with Beau Biden, but could not find a direct transaction from the future California senator to a Biden fundraising campaign.

Other emails on Hunter’s laptop reveal a long-term effort to bring Harris into the Bidens’ orbit in Delaware — even as allies said she would not be a “great choice” for a vice presidential pick.

Harris’ PAC did, however, donate $1,000 to NGP Van Inc. for “database services” on Jan. 5, 2016, six days after Alcorn wrote the first email about the proposed exchange. NGP Van is a major platform for Democratic campaign fundraising and donor research.
Other emails on Hunter’s laptop reveal a long-term effort to bring Harris into the Bidens’ orbit — even as allies cautioned she would not be a “great choice” for a running should Joe take the plunge into the 2016 campaign.
“No great choices,” mused former Biden press secretary Alexander Mackler in an August 6, 2015, email to Hunter and Biden family business associate Eric Schwerin about potential running mates.
“Almost has to be a woman,” added Mackler, who served as Biden’s deputy counsel during his vice presidency and on Beau’s 2010 re-election campaign for state attorney general. “Can’t be Kamala (she has a campaign and she’s [sic] doesn’t pass the ‘ready’ test).”
“If Kamala says no, I suggest Patrick Lynch or Jack Conaway,” Mackler floated in a Jan. 22 email, apparently referring to the former Rhode Island attorney general and a Delaware administrator in Sussex County close to the Biden family.
Other notable names suggested for foundation board seats included former Education Secretary Arne Duncan, retired Delaware Adjutant and Army National Guard Gen. Francis Vavala, former Arkansas Democratic Sen. Blanche Lincoln, Jackie Dodd, the wife of former Connecticut Democratic Sen. Chris Dodd, and NBC News “Today” co-host Savannah Guthrie.
CNN anchor Jake Tapper was also put forward as “another media person, potentially.”
The Harris campaign, Beau Biden Foundation and Alcorn did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

“There’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking,” Harris told a climate crowd during the CNN town hall. [2019, during her Presidential run]
Transcript: http://edition.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1909/04/se.03.html
Tape: https://www.foxnews.com/video/6359676890112
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Vice President Harris told Dana Bash she supported fracking and made that clear in 2020. In her 2020 debate she said, "Joe Biden supports fracking". This has significance because everyone knows she is/was the only Senator to the Left of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. Harris promised in her own campaign she would ban fracking. The message was simple, moderate Joe was the top of the ticket, not radical Kamala. Who is the top of the ticket now?
But moderate Joe turned out to be radical Joe. Here's what he did with energy as President:
Canceled the Keystone XL Pipeline;
Halted Lease Sales in Alaska’s ANWR;
Placed a Moratorium on Drilling on Federal Lands;
Rejoined the Paris Climate Accord;
Proposed Energy-Inhibiting Budgets;
Canceled Oil and Gas Drilling Leases;
Initiated Punitive Government Investigations;
Restricted Permian Basin Drilling.
There's more:
"...the “refinery squeeze” — the collection of regulations and incentives that have driven a drop in US refinery capacity by about 5% just since 2020. It seems that multiple refineries have been incentivized to switch from refining petroleum to “biofuels” (i.e., ethanol), which takes their capacity down by some 90%. And then, the process of building a new refinery to replace lost capacity has become almost impossible. Toomey: “Observers cite onerous environmental regulations and permitting red-tape hurdles as the primary reasons for avoiding new refinery permit applications.”
Then there is the Biden-Harris regulatory plan to suppress and ultimately eliminate the internal combustion engine car. I reported on that in this blog post of June 8, 2024. Massive new regulations on emissions and fuel economy standards (from EPA and NHTSA respectively), proposed in April 2024, had just gone final at the time of my post. The effect of these new rules: “The agencies know full well that they are forcing a transition to EVs that customers do not want. How fast must the forced transition be? This piece from Atlas EV Hub from March 25 estimates that EPA’s Rule by itself will force EV sales to be up to 69% of new vehicle sales by 2032.”
The Biden-Harris administration has also dragooned every federal agency, even those with no remotely-related jurisdiction, to get into the climate game. Famous examples include the SEC and the Fed. The SEC’s massive and burdensome “climate disclosure” regulation, proposed back in 2021 and finally issued in March of this year, seeks to drive companies out of the fossil fuel business by making the disclosure obligations too onerous to deal with."

One difference between the campaigns, Trump doesn't have to rent and bus his supporters in.
All Harris and Walz events have been by "invitation" only. No public appearances.
Another point, New Hampshire is not supposed to be a swing state for Kamala!
It's all unraveling...
She's succeeded in one thing, setting low expectations for her big debate performance.
-
Levin had great questions of Harris asking her to explain some economic topics
not just empty platitudes
We know she couldn't do it.
O'Reilly suggested DJT ask her:
when I left office inflation was 1%. It went up to 9 % under you. Why?
I am thinking DJT ask her specific questions. And Trump will need to know the answer in case she turns it around and says "do you know the answer?"

That Kamala Harris Video and Censorship
Even after the fact checks, her comments were at war with the First Amendment.
James Freeman
Sept. 3, 2024 6:46 pm ET
In a widely viewed post on X, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. falsely describes the context of a video clip in which Kamala Harris talks about silencing someone with whom she disagrees. Once one understands the accurate context, her comment is just as appalling.
Mr. Kennedy’s mistake is in presenting the video as depicting our vice president describing why she thinks Elon Musk and his X media platform should be denied the right to free speech. In fact it’s a clip from 2019 in which Ms. Harris was trying to silence President Donald Trump and trample on First Amendment rights across all social media platforms.
Back in 2019 X was still called Twitter. Here’s what Ms. Harris told CNN about her campaign to pressure Twitter to turn off Mr. Trump’s account:
He has lost his privileges and it should be taken down. And the bottom line is that you can’t say that you have one rule for Facebook and you have a different rule for Twitter. The same rule has to apply, which is that there has to be a responsibility that is placed on these social media sites to understand their power. They are directly speaking to millions and millions of people without any level of oversight or regulation, and that has to stop.
Government must regulate speech across all media platforms and dictate one set of rules for what people are permitted to say? This is a proposal for a frontal assault on the First Amendment, and a great reason for voters not to grant Ms. Harris the promotion she now seeks. Why most media outlets have not regarded her authoritarian message as disqualifying for the presidency is a question for another day. But it’s important that Mr. Kennedy’s error not obscure the danger to liberty expressed by a candidate in her own words.
In 2019 Ms. Harris was speaking to CNN’s Jake Tapper right after the network had hosted a Democratic presidential candidates debate in Westerville, Ohio. News consumers may recall Sen. Elizabeth Warren as among the most aggressive proponents of giant, overbearing government in that primary race. But that night’s drama featured Ms. Warren resisting as Ms. Harris badgered her again and again to agree that Twitter should disable the sitting president’s account. Here’s an excerpt from CNN’s transcript, as Sen. Warren was given a chance to respond to Ms. Harris:
WARREN: So, look, I don’t just want to push Donald Trump off Twitter. I want to push him out of the White House. That’s our job.
HARRIS: Well, join me — join me in saying that his Twitter account should be shut down.
WARREN: But let’s figure — no. Let’s figure out…
HARRIS: No?
WARREN: … why it is that we have had laws on the books for antitrust for over a century, and yet for decades now, we’ve all called on how the big drug companies are calling the shots in Washington, big ag, how the gun industry, big tech — you know, we really need to address the elephant in the room, and that is how campaigns are financed.
HARRIS: You can’t say you’re for corporate responsibility if it doesn’t apply to everyone.
WARREN: I announced this morning — I announced this morning that I’m not going to take any money from big tech executives, from Wall Street executives. We’ve already agreed, Bernie and I, we’re not taking any money from big pharma executives.
Ms. Harris continued demanding that Sen. Warren endorse censorship of their chief political rival while the Massachusetts senator continued trying to change the subject. At one point questioner Marc Lacey of the New York Times tried to bring another candidate into the discussion but Ms. Harris said, “I’m not finished. I’m not finished.” She then continued to demand Ms. Warren’s assent in censorship, as the Massachusetts senator continued to resist.
Can you imagine a federal government so large and so contemptuous of constitutional liberty that Elizabeth Warren is the voice of restraint and the bulwark protecting individual rights?
Don’t say you haven’t been warned about Kamala Harris.
Her argument for shutting down the Trump account rested on an outrageous claim tying him to an El Paso shooting for which he was not responsible, and another bogus claim that criticizing the purported “whistleblower” that House Democrats would use for their partisan first impeachment amounted to threatening a witness. That night in Ohio, even CNN’s Mr. Tapper sounded skeptical:
TAPPER: So, without disputing that, let me ask you, but then there’s a slippery slope, right? I mean, does that mean anybody who writes about the whistleblower, anybody who questions the credibility of the whistleblower, that they shouldn’t have their articles, their statements on Twitter read also? I mean, that’s where it all starts heading.
HARRIS: I think that is a fine conversation for a law school debate, but that’s not what we’re talking about. We’re talking about actual words issued by the president of the United States, unfiltered, which have clearly been threatening the life of witnesses to what might be a crime.
She didn’t say which actual words she considered a threat and of course there was no actual crime established in the Democrats’ partisan first impeachment effort, which ended with acquittal in the Senate in early 2020.
Kamala Harris didn’t want Mr. Trump to be able to defend himself in the public square. And that should concern every American, whether they support Mr. Trump or not.

Chris Cillizza: Does Kamala Harris Have Any Actual Beliefs?
If it were one issue it wouldn't be a big deal but as Cillizza correctly points out, she's done this on a bunch of issues: Fracking, the border wall and asylum policies, the Green New Deal, gun confiscation, Medicare for All. She has done an about face on all of them. It's a big part of her strategy to get elected.
...
The claim that Harris has actually changed her mind because of her time as VP and that her values haven't changed is just not credible.
...
And the explanation that she and her campaign team have settled on — “my values have not changed” — doesn’t really fly either. If her values told her that single payer, government run healthcare was the right way to insure Americans get the best services possible, why does she no longer think that?
Given that history, I struggle to swallow the spin that her time as vice president is what explains all of these policy shifts. Especially when you consider that every single one of them is Harris moving from a position liberals love to one centrists — and swing voters — prefer. Like, she never learned anything during her time in the White House that made her think a more liberal solution was the right way to go?
She said then that she opposed fracking; would “think about” abolishing the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency; called the idea of adding more police officers “wrongheaded thinking”; entertained the idea of allowing felons to vote; said she supported a “mandatory buyback program” for some guns; and called for the elimination of private health insurance.
Fracking is a particularly tough issue for Ms. Harris. Banning it was a plank in her energy platform in the 2020 primary race. But fracking remains a key element of the economy in Pennsylvania, perhaps the most important battleground state this year...
What does seem credible is that Harris' advisers are lying because the real Kamala Harris is a fringe candidate who can't possibly win this election.
The alternative possibility is that she hasn't got any real views of her own and just repeats whatever she's told to say. In 2019 that was far-left pablum about Medicare for All and fracking and in 2024 it's the opposite.

Provide taxpayer funding for gender transition surgery to detained migrants??
“Transition treatment is a medical necessity, and I will direct all federal agencies responsible for providing essential medical care to deliver transition treatment,” she wrote.
She clearly staked out ground to the Left of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.

Trump is not polished in debates but is in townhalls and interviewers who do not try to make him look bad.
Harris is polished (though without any substance) in "debates" but is totally confused in a real interview that challenges her.
Amazing how debates can be rigged in ways to allow one to appear to shine and the other to underperform.

Q: Tell us something people wouldn't know about you.
A: She tells same story she told in the debate, "as a career prosecutor I never asked a victim if the were Republican or Democrat". (It was California, most crime victims are Democrat. Nice try.)
[Doug] Did she not know she just told that story or did she (again) not hear the question?
I hope she does a lot more interviews so people get to know her... :wink:

“[Kamala’s] attention is now fully on barnstorming the purple areas of swing states,” Brown wrote, “focused less on appeasing the progressive base of the party than on winning over whichever voters are still making up their minds about how to vote in November — or if at all. The result has been a campaign that’s burning through the fuel the base provided when she became the nominee.”
...
"Policywise, this has meant shying away from some of the positions Harris took before assuming the vice presidency,” Brown wrote. “Her campaign has disavowed her support for a mandatory buyback program for assault weapons, for example, as well as her previous openness to expanding the Supreme Court. Any former support for ‘Medicare for All’ or banning fracking has been tucked into a box and shelved in the darkest recesses of the Naval Observatory. These are still good policies, in my view, but not the sort of thing Harris wanted to have in the spotlight.”

on Kamala Harris' promise to lower prices and close the border: "Day one was 1,400 days ago! What the hell have you been doing the whole time?"
"If you’ve been in office for 30 years like Kamala Harris, you can stand up and, without an ounce of shame, look at the American people and say, ‘On day one, I’m going to lower grocery prices.’
That’s what Kamala Harris says. ‘On day one, we’re going to lower the price of housing,’ and ‘On day one, we’re going to close down that southern border.’
It’s like, ‘Kamala, day one was 1,400 days ago. What the hell have you been doing the whole time? Why don’t you stop talking and get to work?’”

With Fact-Checks Like These, How Does Truth Stand a Chance?
Below is my column in The Hill on the controversial role played by the ABC moderators in the presidential debate. Three false claims in the debate continue to be repeated in what is now our post-truth political environment. (ABC later challenged another claim by Harris on the deployment of U.S. troops).
Here is the column:
“You are entitled to your opinion. But you are not entitled to your own facts.”
That famous line from Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-N.Y.) remains a virtual mantra for politicians and pundits. Yet, judging from the presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, we have officially entered the post-truth political era.
ABC News has been widely criticized for the bias of the two moderators Linsey Davis and David Muir. Even liberal outlets acknowledged that the two journalists seemed inclined to “fact check” only Trump. In the meantime, they allowed clearly false statements from Harris to go unchallenged.
Three of the unchecked claims are being widely disseminated by supporters, including some in the media. Here are three legal “facts” that are being repeated despite being clearly untrue.
“Crime is down under the Biden-Harris administration.“
One of the most notable slap downs by ABC followed Trump commenting that crime rates have drastically risen during the Biden-Harris administration. Muir immediately balked and declared: “As you know, the FBI says overall violent crime is coming down in this country.”
Harris and her allies have been repeating the claim by ABC. But the actual statistics show that Trump was right. The Justice Department’s released survey found that, under the Biden administration, there has been a significant increase in crime. Violent crime was up 37 percent from 2020 to 2023, rape is up 42 percent, robbery is up 63 percent and stranger violence is up 61 percent. Other reports had shown startling increases such as a doubling of carjackings in D.C. in 2023.
“Harris has not supported transgender operations for undocumented migrants.”
Some of the greatest mocking in the media concerned Trump’s statement that Harris has supported transgender conversion treatment for undocumented persons. New Yorker staff writer Susan Glasser immediately wrote “What the hell was he talking about? No one knows, which was, of course, exactly Harris’s point.”
On CNN, Wolf Blitzer declared how “outlandish” it was for Trump to make such a claim.
But it’s true.
In 2019, Harris told the ACLU that she not only supported such operations but actively worked for at least one such procedure to take place. When it was reported by Andrew Kaczynski on CNN, host Erin Burnett was gobsmacked by the notion of taxpayer-funded gender transition surgeries for detained migrants. “She actually supported that?” Burnett exclaimed.
Even the New York Times later admitted that the “wildest sounding attack line” from Trump was “basically true.”
Harris does not support the right to abortion in the final three months of a pregnancy.
Trump also hit Harris on her no-limits position on abortion rights, allowing women the right to abort a baby up to the moment of birth. Trump said Harris supports laws allowing abortions in “the seventh month, the eighth month, [and] the ninth month,” to which Harris retorted: “C’mon,” “no,” and “that’s not true.”
The hosts again said that Trump was making up his criticism of late-term abortions, including the risk of babies being born but allowed to die.
But in fact, many states, including Minnesota under Gov. Tim Walz (D), protect the right of a woman to abort a baby into the ninth month. While it is often said that this is left to the mother and her doctor, the law gives the decision to the mother.
Late-term abortions are relatively rare, but they do occur. A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report estimated in 2019 that about 4,882 abortions were performed that year at least 21 weeks or later into pregnancy.
More than a dozen states, in fact, allow on-demand abortions after a baby is viable and can even survive outside of the womb. Nine of those states permit abortions throughout the entirety of pregnancy. Harris has supported these state laws and certainly did not answer the question on what limits she would support, other than saying that she supports Roe v. Wade.
Clearly, many late-term abortions occur to protect the life of the mother. However, you can have (as both Trump and Harris support) exceptions to protect the life of the mother without allowing abortions up to the moment of birth.
To be sure, Trump did not help himself with his wilder claims. These included debunked accounts of Haitian migrants eating people’s pets in Ohio, which Ohio’s Republican governor, Mike Dewine, has denied.
The issue is not fact-checking, but the failure to do so equally and accurately. ABC actually disseminated false information under the mantle of fact-checking, and that’s a real problem.
Moderator Linsey Davis admitted later that ABC did not want a repeat of what had happened in the last debate, wherein Trump was given free rein and the moderators limited themselves to asking questions and enforcing time limits. CNN was praised in that debate across the political spectrum for being even-handed.
What is most striking about this election is that none of this seems to matter. Indeed, even the debate did not matter. While Trump can legitimately object to a three-against-one debate format, Harris’s victory was clearly not dependent on bad calls by the refs. However, there has been little overall movement in the polls, even though 67 million people were watching.
The era of post-truth politics is evident in Harris repeating false claims about Trump’s support for “Project 2025” and debunked claims regarding his comments about an extreme-right Charlottesville rally in 2017. Leading Democrats continue to make these false claims, in some cases despite knowing that they are false.
On the other side, Trump is making promises he has to know can never be fulfilled. For example, he has pledged to make flag-burning a federal crime with a penalty of two years’ incarceration. The Supreme Court, including conservatives like the late Justice Antonin Scalia, has ruled that flag burning is protected speech under the First Amendment. Neither a president nor Congress can change the meaning of the Constitution without amending it.
With the help of the media, we have reduced our election to a political Slurpee. It’s all sugar rush and no nutritional value. We now have pundits supporting the idea of no further debates and even arguing that Harris shouldn’t give any interviews because it’s too risky.
Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) explained that Harris should avoid one-on-one media interviews because “sometimes, you drill down into a question until there’s a word that’s uttered that can be used in a negative way.” I suppose, as president, she will need to insist on meeting foreign leaders only in CNN town hall events.
If you do not say anything, there are no facts to check. The election then becomes a vote over whether you are for or against “joy.”
What is clear from the ABC debate is that citizens are on their own in the election to find actual facts and substance in the super-sized Slurpee of the 2024 election.

Another source I've no experience with, but this has the ring of truth. If only intrepid journalists bothered to do their jobs:
There is a massive story for someone who has more resources than I have to investigate this further.
In 1977, the Department of Justice Civil Department required Congress to sign off on any settlement against the United States more than 100,000.00 dollars. But as society became more litigious, the cap was eventually removed. Then the DOJ civil department became one of the most powerful departments in the United States Government, basically, they could do whatever they want with Taxpayer money. The account became known as the Judgement Fund. The fund's operations have become secretive and often nefarious.
In 2009 a man named Tony West took over the Department of Justice civil litigation program. This program was in charge of settling lawsuits against the federal government. But this was an email that Tony West got upon being appointed to the job:
“can you explain to Tony the best way to allocate some money toward an organization of our choosing?”
That is how taxpayer money became the vehicle to start funding Left Wing associated organizations and give them the resources needed to start what has become the party of lunacy.
For example in 2010, the DOJ had all but won a case in Supreme Court after a decade long fight DOJ lawyers were on the verge of winning a case against discrimination claims by 91 Hispanic and female farmers.
Tony West personally intervened and the
DOJ agreed to a $1.33 billion settlement which included thousands of farmers who had never claimed bias, and of course ATTORNEY FEES in the millions. More importantly, the case lawyers vehemently was against the settlement noting they had obviously were going to win the case and not cost the taxpayers money at all. Law firms, some which did not even participate in the case were awarded an additional 133 million in attorney fees.
The projected settlement size ballooned to over $4.4 billion as additional plaintiffs were added, including Native American farmers.
One government expert was appalled: “‘If they had gone to trial, the government would have prevailed . . . It was just a joke. . . . I was so disgusted. It was simply buying the support of the Native Americans.’”
Sound Familiar? Kind of like forgiveness of student loans, promises of cash for down payment on houses.
This dirty deal also inflated the number of claimants, creating a $60 million windfall for the plaintiff’s lead lawyer, a member of the Obama/Biden transition team.
Tony West did not just shakedown taxpayers, he also went after any right-wing corporations.
In a series of bank settlements, West wrote in PROVISIONS TO THE SETTLEMENTS THAT
Donations were mandatory and be given to DEMOCRAT ACTIVIST SUPPORT GROUPS. (Perhaps those shills we see like Brooklyn Dad, JoJo From Jerz, you know, all the paid propagandists we see on Twitter)
What makes things worse, is his settlements specifically provided that right wing groups were not eligible for any of these payments. This was around the same time Obama was having the IRS target right wing not for profit groups also.
An internal email shows West deputies rewording a settlement’s donation provisions to ensure the bank could not select a “conservative” property rights organization as a recipient. In 2016, before Trump took office, a 2 billion Electric Car initiative was mandated although explicitly rejected by Congress.
An email circulated saying they ought to build a “statue” to West and “bow down to this statue each day after we receive our $200,000+.”
Who was signing off on all these corrupt settlements in California? California’s attorney general at the time, Kamala Harris, was an active participant, cosigning agreements for her state.
Then, Donald Trump was elected and immediately ended the Judgement Fund. In fact, his attorney general banned them altogether citing the misuse, allocation and dangers of such a fund.
But a funny thing happened, in 2020, the Biden/Harris administration reversed the ban and started the fund up all over again. Once again, left wing organizations are getting billions of dollars in settlements while conservative groups are ineligible. You remember FBI Agents Peter Strzok and Lisa Page? This is the fund that paid them their multi million dollar settlement although they had no expectation of privacy by sending texts on government issued phones. Perhaps that Plan "B" that they talk about how they would stop Trump in those texts was the reason for such a payout.
But you may ask, who is Tony West? Well, He is Kamala Harris's Brother-in-Law and is expected to be named White House Counsel if she is elected.
This guy makes Hunter Biden look like Mother Theresa, as the New York Post aptly said; A new “Big Guy” is coming to town. Kamala, with the help of Tony West and his cronies, will show you how Honest Graft is really done.--Dishonestly
But where the story really is, all that money that was spent on dishonest settlements have been coming back to the Harris campaign in spades.

The point made here is one well worth noting IMHO.
"Unburdened by what has been" means wiping out the history and the culture of the society (for America this means Natural Law and the Constitution) in order to create "the new/socialist man".

WTH?
IRS has a union! how obnoxious is this?
Federal employees should NOT be unionized!
-
quote author=ccp
"Federal employees should NOT be unionized!"
------------
Government employees should not be unionized.
As I understand union logic, the greedy capitalist has too much power, leverage, over the individual worker so only bargaining collectively can make it fair. With city hall, county, state and federal governments, who takes the place of the greedy capitalist? We the people, the will of the people. Equating that with evil capitalist doesn't make any sense.
Government sector, by definition, should be smaller than private sector at every level, unable to monopolize the labor market. To get good workers, they compete with the private sector - like everyone else.
You can't underpay them, they would just choose to work somewhere else if not competitive.
But instead of competing with the private sector, they pay 30% more and drive up the cost of everything for everyone.

The Kamala Harris Plan for More Housing Shortages
Her plan would stimulate demand, not supply, and redistribute wealth to the sellers of existing homes.
By Edward Pinto
Sept. 23, 2024 5:58 pm ET
A signature feature of Kamala Harris’s housing plan is providing first-time home buyers with $25,000 in down-payment support, at a total cost of $100 billion over four years. Absent a severe recession, this policy is all but certain to lead to higher home prices. That’s because the four million program recipients would become price setters for all buyers in their neighborhoods.
According to the American Enterprise Institute’s Housing Center, 77% of all home purchases would be subject to this home buyer “tax,” causing the price of these homes to increase by 3.6%. Over four years the increase in home prices would total $175 billion, more than the $100 billion cost of the program. The price increase would show up in higher revenue for sellers, thus acting as a wealth transfer to them.
The law of supply and demand dictates that an increase in demand without a commensurate increase in supply will result in higher prices. This effect on prices is because we’re currently in a strong sellers’ market, which exists when the number of months it would take to sell all the homes currently on the market is less than six. As of August, the overall supply of homes for sale was 3.7 months’ worth. For houses in lower price tiers, that number drops to 2.4 months. Sellers’ markets create upward price pressure on home prices, which grows more powerful when demand is further stimulated. Ms. Harris’s policy would do just that, boosting demand by giving buyers more spending money.
The plan’s defects don’t stop there. Ms. Harris’s proposed tax incentive for building starter homes is intended to increase housing supply substantially. This approach has led to significant market distortions on at least two occasions.
The Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, with its easy credit terms and substantial subsidies, resulted in a surge of housing permits in 1971 and 1972. By 1975 the housing boom had reversed, leaving lasting scars on cities including Detroit, Chicago and Cleveland. Similarly, the Federal Housing Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness Act of 1992, which set affordable-housing goals, combined with Bill Clinton’s National Homeownership Strategy, led to credit liberalization in the runup to the 2008-09 financial crisis. Housing permits doubled, from 1.1 million in 1992 to 2.2 million in 2005, but then collapsed by 73% in 2009. In the aftermath, millions faced foreclosure, and the resulting housing-supply deficit still afflicts us today.
Without such dangerous credit easing, it is likely that Ms. Harris’s proposal would provide incentives largely for new homes that would have been built anyway, with any incremental construction being unevenly distributed across the nation. This would cause further imbalances between supply and demand.
Ms. Harris also proposes a $40 billion fund for local governments to explore “innovative” housing solutions. The Housing and Urban Development Department would likely channel this money into programs laden with self-defeating government-mandated affordability requirements, which markets abhor.
History offers a cautionary tale against such federal interference in the housing market: From the 1930s to 2008, at least 43 housing, urban-renewal and community-development programs were signed into law. Despite these laws’ lofty goals, these initiatives consistently failed to make housing more affordable.
There is indeed a housing affordability crisis. The root cause of this is a housing supply shortage of between three million and eight million housing units. Rather than pursuing Ms. Harris’s misguided plan, the federal government has several options to increase the housing supply at market rate:
• Implement a 10-year plan to auction surplus federal lands for home construction. Doing so could add 200,000 homes per year. By my estimate, these sales could generate $10 billion in annual receipts.
• Eliminate the tax deduction for interest on mortgages. This would increase supply and reduce demand by freeing up over the next decade 700,000 existing homes currently being used as secondary residences.
• Adopt a credible plan to reduce deficit spending. This could lower the 10-year Treasury rate (and mortgage rates along with it) by 0.75 to 1 percentage point.
• Subsidized housing projects often involve a cycle of subsidizing, rehabilitating, tearing down and rebuilding, all on the same parcel. Congress should require HUD to document, project by project, this revolving door of waste.
These measures, in combination with state and local efforts to deregulate land use and zoning, would mitigate the housing affordability crisis—all at no taxpayer cost and without unintended consequences.

CALIFORNIA
Harris puts up First Amendment fight but loses first round in court
By Stephen Dinan THE WASHINGTON TIMES
It must have seemed like a good political fight to pick at the time for California Attorney General Kamala Harris.
The billionaire conservative Koch brothers were the left’s boogeyman, and the Supreme Court’s recent Citizens United decision created the perfect storm for outlandish fears among Democrats.
Ms. Harris, a rising star in California Democratic circles, saw an opportunity. Flexing the state’s charity disclosure laws, she demanded that charities turn over secret documents detailing donors. No other state required the document, which usually went only to the IRS under strict privacy protections.
The result was a case that went to the Supreme Court. The justices gave Ms. Harris a firm rebuke and reaffirmed the fundamental constitutional rights of free association.
Those who battled Ms. Harris say it was also a chilling warning about her willingness to use government power to encroach on the First Amendment and a striking incompetence in carrying it out.
“They were trying to intimidate and silence conservative organizations. I just don’t think there’s
As California attorney general, Kamala Harris gave a chilling warning in courts about her willingness to use government power to encroach on the First Amendment.
too much doubt about that,” said Brad Smith, a professor at Capital University Law School in Ohio.
Ms. Harris told the courts she was trying to stop charity fraud and needed to know who the donors were to sniff out any self-dealing or illegal business practices.
Conservative groups she targeted, including the Americans for Prosperity Foundation, said she was trying to score political points by sending warning letters and threatening fines.
They argued that Ms. Harris could get a subpoena if she needed the information for an investigation.
All nine justices agreed that Ms. Harris’ policy infringed on the foundation specifically, but six justices went further by holding that the law and Ms. Harris’ enforcement of it were blatantly unconstitutional.
“The upshot is that California casts a dragnet for sensitive donor information from tens of thousands of charities each year, even though that information will become relevant in only a small number of cases involving filed complaints,” Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. wrote in the critical opinion.
Every state requires charities that solicit within its borders to be registered. In California, that duty falls to the attorney general. Ms. Harris won the position in 2010. A few years into her term, she began sending warnings to charities she said were out of compliance because they hadn’t submitted their major donor lists and annual registrations.
State law had long required it, but previous attorneys general hadn’t pursued the matter. With national Democrats increasingly complaining about “dark money” in politics, Mr. Harris started rejecting charity registrations that didn’t include donor lists in 2013.
The document in question is known as Schedule B of Form 990, which is filed with the IRS. The tax agency keeps those forms confidential, though groups can release them.
The Americans for Prosperity Foundation did not want to release its form. It said Ms. Harris was targeting the organization because of its ties to David and Charles Koch, the billionaires at the heart of Democrats’ dark money complaints.
Ms. Harris warned of impending fines, and the foundation went to court in 2014.
The issue was debated between a federal district judge and the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. After a bench trial, Judge Manuel Real eviscerated Ms. Harris in a 2016 ruling that said she could not “find a single witness” who indicated she needed the Schedule B forms to carry out her investigations.
The 9th Circuit was more forgiving of Ms. Harris. In a 2018 ruling, the appeals court said the state had a compelling need for the information.
The case AFPF v. Bonta eventually reached the Supreme Court. By then, new Attorney General Rob Bonta was tasked with defending his predecessor’s behavior.
Hundreds of groups with shockingly diverse political ideologies backed the Americans for Prosperity Foundation. They included People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, the American Civil Liberties Union, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the Nature Conservancy, the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Missionary Sisters of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, NARAL Pro-Choice North Carolina, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell.
Ms. Harris’ position received support from a much narrower slice of America: attorneys general in Democratic-led states, a group of Democratic senators and some liberal-leaning campaign and ethics watchdog groups such as the League of Women Voters and Public Citizen.
The Harris campaign did not respond to an inquiry for this report.
The Washington Times also reached out to five government ethics and campaign groups that backed Ms. Harris’ argument in the courts. None responded.
First Amendment lawyer Floyd Abrams filed a brief at the Supreme Court not necessarily backing Ms. Harris’ actions but defending the broader concept of donor disclosure.
“My own views are closer to hers than where the Supreme Court wound up,” Mr. Abrams told The Times. “I favor more disclosure rather than less as to who is trying to persuade the public on highly disputed issues of public policy.”
Mr. Smith, who ran the Center for Competitive Politics, a Koch-backed organization that also found itself under Ms. Harris’ thumb, said that while the attorney general argued she could keep the information secret, the groups that supported her were hoping for the opposite.
“It kind of revealed how at least a lot of Democrats looked at this,” he said. “They weren’t interested in the attorney general getting this because it made her law enforcement job easier. They were interested in this because they wanted it to be made public.”
Unfortunately for Ms. Harris, that was what happened.
At trial, Judge Real found that Ms. Harris’ office had posted more than 1,400 Schedule B forms to its public website, including some as the trial commenced.
“While human error can sometimes be unavoidable, the amount of careless mistakes made by the Attorney General’s Registry is shocking,” the judge said.
Ms. Harris’ sloppy approach also weighed heavily on Chief Justice Roberts at the Supreme Court. “Here the State’s assurances of confidentiality are not worth much,” he wrote.
John Bursch, who argued on behalf of the Thomas More Law Center, which also challenged Ms. Harris’ policy, called her effort “a pretty shocking First Amendment abuse.”
“She demanded that all nonprofits fundraising in California turn over their major donors’ names and addresses without any need for that information. And then she allowed her office to leak that confidential information like a sieve and did nothing about it,” said Mr. Bursch, senior counsel at Alliance Defending Freedom.
Ms. Harris’ fight mirrored one from 50 years earlier.
At the time, segregationist Alabama Attorney General John M. Patterson demanded that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People turn over its member lists. In a 1958 ruling, the Supreme Court unanimously shut him down.
That case became the backbone of Chief Justice Roberts’ 2021 ruling against Ms. Harris’ program.
“We are left to conclude that the Attorney General’s disclosure requirement imposes a widespread burden on donors’ associational rights,” the chief justice wrote. “And this burden cannot be justified on the ground that the regime is narrowly tailored to investigating charitable wrongdoing, or that the State’s interest in administrative convenience is sufficiently important. We therefore hold that the up-front collection of Schedule Bs is facially unconstitutional.”
Mr. Smith said Ms. Harris’ approach differed from that of the segregationist Alabama attorney general in one way: He went after the NAACP while she cast her net more broadly, demanding donor documents from all charities.
Still, the conservative groups that received her warning letters were most vociferous in defying her demands.
Mr. Smith said it was an open question how much Ms. Harris was involved in the operation.
“I don’t know how much she was up there making the decisions at the top or just signing off. But it’s an indication she doesn’t have much strong interest in privacy, and she is not concerned enough about abuse or the potential abuse of power of government to veto this kind of thing,” he said.
By the time the case reached the Supreme Court, Ms. Harris was vice president. That created the odd situation in which the Justice Department ended up opposing, to some extent, her handling of the matter.
Acting Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar said Ms. Harris’ actions risked a “chilling effect” on potential donors to the Americans for Prosperity Foundation. She called for the case to be returned to the lower courts for more examination.
The justices delivered a full rebuke instead.
Ilya Shapiro, who filed briefs for the Cato Institute’s backing the foundation, said the case was a worrying signal about what Ms. Harris might do in the White House.
“Harris really doesn’t like ‘misinformation’ and ‘hate speech,’ so wants to put political pressure on organizations she doesn’t like,” said Mr. Shapiro, now director of constitutional studies at the Manhattan Institute. “The law at issue in AFPF v Bonta was a bridge too far even for her fellow travelers, but we’re already seeing in her campaign comments that she’s no fan of the First Amendment.”

RUHLE: But as somebody who supports free markets, [No she doesn't] who's a capitalist [No she isn't], how do you go after price gouging without implementing price controls?
Because, once we get in this zone, people start to get worried and they say, I don't know what she stands for.
HARRIS: So, just to be very frank, I am never going to apologize for going after companies and corporations that take advantage of the desperation of the American people.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The "desperation of the American people" she refers to is the rising food (and energy) prices and declining real wages the people faced under her policies.
I thought she was arguing everything is great...
Here is a "price control" for you. I don't know the chains in your region, but if I don't like the prices at Safeway, HiVee, etc, I can go to Walmart, Target, Aldi. If they are in collusion, breaking that up is a Biden Harris administration responsibility, but no one has alleged that.

During a radio interview yesterday, Vice President Harris said she will back Senate Democrats’ push to remove the Senate legislative filibuster, to pass a law codifying Roe v. Wade with a simple majority. (Democrats have pushed for years to get rid of the Senate’s legislative filibuster, which requires 60 votes to pass a bill. Changing the rule formally would require 60 votes. However, a Democrat majority in the Senate in 2025 could use other methods including the “nuclear option” to do so. Which would also open the way for Reps. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) and Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) bill to disqualify Trump from office. – R.C.)
-
Strange time to end the filibuster, right before you lose control of the Senate - forever.

During the first Presidential candidacy of Obama I came across Pat Paulsen's book from the 1968 campaign. Nixon Humphrey was as appealing a choice to people then as Trump Harris is now.
Paulsen, people my age might recall, was a car parker for the Smother's brothers TV show who made a name for himself commenting on the campaign. Mocking other big names of the day, he proclaimed he will not run and will not accept the office if elected. Pretty soon he was a sensation and was being put on real ballots across the nation. His book made fun of politicians with meaningless, vacuous statements on both sides of issues, all nonsense that turned out to be nearly word for word the script of the Obama campaign.
Harris is running for Obama's fourth term, and the vacuity just keeps growing. Kamala has core beliefs and everyone knows they won't get her elected, so out come the platitudes.
"We are the change we've been waiting for."
"Build back better."
a "New Way Forward",
from an incumbent,
all meaning more government on top of more government, on top of more government.
Why can't they just say THAT?
What will you do SPECIFICALLY to bring down inflation? 'Well I grew up middle class and the neighbors took good care of their lawns'. What? Really?? Yes, and no one asks a follow up!
It's more like, 'my Mom was a flaming California liberal and my Dad was a Marxist Professor, just a regular middle class family. Then I slept with the most powerful man in the assembly, three times my age, so just a humble rise to power, so I think I got this inflation thingy.'
Question asked and answered?

Acting President (?) Kamala couldn't give up a fundraising gig in San Francisco to handle the storm that buried a good part of the nation. After telling the UN in NY last week, welcome to Washington, Joe was at the beach house in Delaware. He says he was on the phone for 2 hours. That's dedication. Imagine if Republicans took governing that lackidaisically.

rather short and I was pleasantly surprised interviewer did NOT leave her off the hook and kept pushing f/u questions.
then of course they went on to explain that Trump refused to show up and let them know in the past week he would not attend.
and of course had a hit piece about his claims afterward.
they had on some women disputing claims about Maricopia County but (I did not hang around to see this whole second part) did not STATE EXACTLY what we posted in election thread that it is truly impossible to prove election integrity or not and the part I saw did not make the case for our side well.

- Her words translated, I will say what I need to say to get elected, then go back to far Left governance after being elected, like Joe did. Translated further, she will say what she's told to say to get elected - told by people who study these things and make these decisions.
Does someone seriously think Kamala is the brains, the leader of the operation?
Name one idea that was her own. She is a vessel of talking points from focus group analysis, first to capture the furthest Left in her party and now to win a general election, or to keep it close enough fo operatives to make up the difference, "ballot harvesters", etc.
To paraphrase a recent quote, if Democrats are really the party of the academic elite, the cognitive elite, smarter than all the voters of flyover country combined, then how did we end up with Obama, Hillary, Biden, Harris and Walz as our leaders? These are talking vessels of back room strategists.
In my humble opinion.
——----------
Case in point, I started watching 60 Minutes interview. First question, Israel, Middle East.:
Vice President Kamala Harris: "Well, let's start with October 7. 1,200 people were massacred, 250 hostages were taken, including Americans, women were brutally raped, and as I said then, I maintain Israel has a right to defend itself. We would. And how it does so matters. Far too many innocent Palestinians have been killed. This war has to end."
(Doug). Isn't that exactly, word for word, what she said in her acceptance speech, which we know is written by staff, carefully crafted to appease both sides of a contentious issue.
The viewer might think the point of the interview is to dive deeper but Harris believes the interview is a chance to repeat and repeat again what was already crafted, rehearsed and memorized.
Compare that with Netanyahu speaking without notes for an hour on the topic with vivid details and powerful arguments. If she wanted to thread the needle and wants to be leader of the free world, why wouldn't she know the details inside and out.
"How it does so matters" negates the first part of the platitude, we support Israel's right to defend itself. If you're going to second guess and put constraints on their defense, you better know the entire situation better than they do, and she most clearly doesn't.

Under Proposed Tax Scheme Government Will Own 50% of Every Corporation in America
If you haven't seen it, UP co-founder and chairman Stephen Moore (presently on leave) and Susquehanna International Group founder Jeffrey Yass have a lead feature in today's WSJ.
The article documents the frightening truth that under the proposed left-wing radical tax plan, half of all corporate profits will go directly to governments. This is because they plan to raise the corporate income tax to 33% (when adding state and local taxes) and the capital gains tax (a double-tax on corporate earnings) to 34%. Add it together and the shareholders receive less than 50% of the returns.

… abuse the help together:
Abuse in the Office, Love in the Home?
John F. Di Leo BY JOHN F. DI LEO October 13, 2024 in Opinion Reading Time: 6 mins read
Why do we fall in love?
Or to put it another way – How do we choose our partners?
With candidates for public office, the spouse rarely factors into our consideration as voters. It’s the congressman or senator who’ll be casting votes in the House or Senate, not the candidate’s wife or husband.
So, with most political campaigns, the spouse is a sort of bonus character in the game. Some speak on their spouse’s behalf at local civic meetings, some don’t. For generations, the likable suburban housewife humanized her serious business-focused husband, for example, providing family photos that make the candidate more electable, but there was rarely any analysis beyond that point.
The Presidency is different.
The First Lady – or in the case of a female candidate, the First Husband – is important, usually not on most policy matters (though past First Ladies have often focused on a single major issue such as literacy promotion or drug avoidance), but on the general demeanor of the White House.
As voters and constituents, we pay attention to the courtship stories of our presidents. We know that the Reagans met while they were actors in Hollywood; the Clintons met when they were political activists at Yale Law School. George W. Bush credits Laura for helping him to sober up; Barack Obama’s pastor famously set him up with Michelle so he could pose as straight.
So, it is fair to explore the relationship between Kamala Harris and her husband, lawyer Doug Emhoff.
When they married, both were 50-year-old lawyers – Emhoff an entertainment lawyer in the private sector, Harris the Attorney General of the state of California.
Emhoff was divorced, and the circumstances of his divorce were first revealed when the Daily Mail (UK) broke the story this summer that he had been carrying on an affair with the couple’s children’s nanny (who was also their schoolteacher) and got her pregnant. The couple divorced, but he did not marry the young lady.
Harris, by contrast, at 50, had never been married, though she was in a well known long-term affair with Willie Brown, the most powerful politician in the state, when she was about 30, and Brown was thirty years her senior. She had no publicized relationships in the intervening 20 years.
Why did she pick Doug Emhoff to marry, at age 50? He must have been quite a catch, if the only other guy she saw fit to date was one who could appoint her to high-paying statewide commissions with a car allowance and an expense account.
It’s tempting to think it might be a marriage of convenience – she’s the state attorney general and he runs a law firm. In high powered legal circles, such a match might be helpful to each other’s careers – at least, a lifetime of watching legal dramas on television would present that scenario.
But at 50, her career already established, having won both countywide and now statewide office, her political career didn’t need such a marriage. When she was 30, sure. But not at 50, her reelection certain as the incumbent in a pure-blue state.
It’s reasonable to assume that they really do get along; they really do compliment each other as a couple.
And recently broken news stories tell us exactly what they have in common.
In a series of articles published by the UK Daily Mail, Doug Emhoff has been revealed as a tyrannical boss at his law firm. Former partners and employees have happily spilled the news to Daily Mail correspondents about what it was like working for Emhoff in California.
According to these stories, deep in this modern, liberal enclave of southern California, office life with Emhoff was a throwback to the days of Billy Wilder’s classic film “The Apartment” or of the hit TV series “Mad Men.” Emhoff would hire people based on their looks, harass employees at will, blow up at staffers and female partners in meetings, and famously “put associates in their place.”
To hear the Daily Mail tell it, working for Doug Emhoff is a rung on one’s career ladder that only a masochist could love.
Add to this the quiet revelations over the years of how Kamala Harris treats her employees, and we get a better picture of their relationship.
Kamala Harris hasn’t been in Washington all that long – just six years – but in that time she’s built up an unusual statistic: she has the worst staff retention record in Washington. Only about 10% of her staffers stayed with her more than a year or two, both when she was a US Senator and since being installed in the vice-presidency. As of this summer, 91.5% of the staffers she started with in the executive branch have quit or been fired.
It’s more difficult to get reasons out of political appointees, because in Washington, staffers are often wedded to their party, so they won’t slam even an embarrassing officeholder in public, to protect the party’s reputation.
But when you read these articles – and especially when you read between the lines in them – you get a clear picture of a bully (multiple former staffers use the term, not just one) who has no interest in preparing for work by reading briefing books or source materials, but demands that every interview, every case, every task goes perfectly or it will be some staffer’s head on the plate.
She berates employees for failing to do what she wanted, without giving clear instructions. She throws people under the bus when talking to the press, saying that the staffers responsible for this or that issue had failed to keep her apprised of it. She always finds someone else to blame for her own failures. And since all she does is fail, that’s a lot to put on her staff.
One would be tempted to wonder if these are just incompetent employees, and she’s bad at hiring. That’s no sin; even the best people sometimes choose the wrong people when setting up a new office from scratch.
But as former staffer Gil Duran told NPR this summer, she built an experienced staff, full of Democrats who had worked for bigger and better operations, who wanted to be part of this “first female person of color” operation. And virtually all of them ended up regretting their decision to join her train wreck of an office, as demonstrated by their astounding exit rate.
So there we have it. We know what it is that brought Doug Emhoff and Kamala Harris together.
It wasn’t the sweetness of youth’s first love, or the mutual respect of two entrepreneurs, two political activists, two schoolteachers – active in their church or garden club, or chamber of commerce or industry group, as so many other political couples have been built from, over the years.
What we now know Emhoff and Harris to have in common is much darker than that. It’s a management style, a fondness for tyrannizing an office, for abusing the individual and deflecting blame. It’s the love of finding a scapegoat and feeling joy in demeaning someone else, especially someone in an inferior position.
Many of us have had the misfortune to work for, or near, such a boss at some point in our careers. Remember the abusive boss, the blame-deflector, the manager who steals your good ideas without giving credit or blames you for messes they caused? Remember the tyrant who drives off customers and colleagues alike because nobody can stand working for or with them?
Hopefully, if you’ve had such a boss yourself, you’ve escaped before too much time passed, as 91.5% of Harris’ staffers have.
President Trump has a record as a demanding boss too; but his record is one of clear instructions, and the cabinet members he fires are those who undermined administration goals. He didn’t fire good employees because of his own failures. And Mr. Trump is never too lazy to read a briefing book.
Kamala Harris, by contrast, appoints people brighter than she is, then drives them off by abuse. And as the Daily Mail reveals, her husband has the same proclivities.
It’s a love story, of a sort.
But it’s not one we need in the White House.

Kamala Harris’s Rural Broadband Flop
Her high-speed internet program is stuck in the slow lane.
By Brendan Carr
Oct. 14, 2024 5:07 pm ET
Kamala Harris lamented recently that “in America, it takes too long and it costs too much to build.” She’s right. But she failed to mention that those costly delays are a feature, not a bug, of her progressive policies.
Consider Ms. Harris’s record. In 2021 she agreed to lead the administration’s $42 billion plan for expanding high-speed internet to millions of Americans. That year, she tweeted that “we can bring broadband to rural America today.” Today, nearly three years after Congress passed the infrastructure bill that created the program, not one home or business has been connected through it. The Biden-Harris administration recently confirmed that construction projects won’t begin until next year at the earliest, and in many cases not until 2026.
Instead of focusing on delivering broadband to unserved areas, the administration has used the program to advance a wish list of political goals. It has adopted regulations that include diversity, equity and inclusion requirements, climate-change rules, price controls, preferences for union labor, and schemes that favor government-run networks. The administration has been handing out wins to favored political groups rather than delivering results.
Other factors have kept Ms. Harris’s high-speed program in the slow lane. Testifying before a congressional oversight committee, one state government official described “a chaotic implementation environment” marked by “dysfunction” and “delays.” The administration, she said, “has provided either no guidance, guidance given too late, or guidance changing midstream.” Associations representing broadband builders in states across the U.S. are sounding the alarm, warning that the “program will fail” absent a course correction.
If only we could be unburdened by what has been. In 2020 Elon Musk’s satellite service, Starlink, won an $885 million award from the Federal Communications Commission to offer high-speed internet to more than 640,000 rural homes and businesses. By a 2023 vote along party lines, the FCC revoked the award. As I noted in my dissent at the time, the FCC’s revocation couldn’t be explained by any objective application of the facts, the law or sound policy. In my view, it amounted to nothing more than regulatory lawfare against one of the left’s top targets: Mr. Musk. Rural communities stuck on the wrong side of the digital divide are paying the price.
There is time to change course. It isn’t too late to get rid of the program’s DEI requirements, price controls, technology biases and preferences for government-run networks. Stripping away those regulations would unleash private-sector innovation and save taxpayer dollars. The status quo is unacceptable. Under Biden-Harris policies, it takes too long and it costs too much to build broadband in America.
Mr. Carr is a Republican FCC commissioner.

The only way demand for energy goes down is in a crashing economy. Environmental activist organizations have known that for years, always opposing prosperity.

Even the most leftward, pro-government taxpayers send in no more money to the US Treasury than they have to.
It isn't that we care about dead people and it's too late to dodge the tax at death. And most of them don't vote, so it's an easy group to beat up on. Most of the heirs are probably undeserving as well.
But that's not the point. If you don't believe you can pass your wealth on, you won't create it, save it, earn it.

Hi Doug et al.
I was thinking of the alleged quote from Saul Alinsky:
"Saul Alinsky 101: Accuse your opponent of what only you are doing, as you are doing it, to create confusion, cloud the issue, and inoculate voters against any evidence of your guilt."
But I questioned if he really did say that or it actually came from somewhere else, so I did a quick search and I can't verify this source's research, yet it sounds likely to be a sound look into where this quote came from. It was not found in Marx's, Alinsky's writings but closer to Nazi Germany and later the Soviets:

Amusing disection of the imploding Kamala campaign effort that compares the sunny post-convention predictions and promise to the wheels falling of cart performance of the candidate:
Whatever Happened to Kamala's A-Team?
It's hard to think of a Presidential campaign being managed worse than this.
JUPPLANDIA
OCT 16, 2024
When we talk about the inadequacies of a political party, a party nomination campaign or a Presidential campaign we often focus exclusively on the leader. Those who hate Trump talk exclusively (and obsessively) about Trump. But those who hated Biden and hate Kamala will to some extent do the same.
This is understandable. The candidate IS the campaign, to a great extent, and ultimately it is the nation’s judgement of the leader (excluding the intervention of fraud) which carries the day.

One of the curious features of modern times is that even where people have realized that the leader is usually a puppet controlled by a whole host of vested interests (from billionaire donors to whole sectors of corruption like Big Pharma, the military-industrial complex or even to interfering transnational bodies like the WEF and the UN) we still tend to focus on the candidate.
That’s strange, in a way. After all, if the candidate is a puppet, shouldn’t we trace the strings and see who is actually in charge?
But its an understandable error. Even the most cynical of us want to still act as if the Big Seat matters and there is only one hand picking up the Red Telephone or one voice supplying the nuclear launch codes. There’s a certain reassurance, perversely, in the idea that only one person can Really Fuck Things Up.
If that’s true, the disasters and errors all go away just by picking the Right Person to occupy that chair.
And the difference between Trump’s first term and Biden’s term certainly seems to support that One Man Makes the Difference narrative. There is SOME truth in it. But its not the full truth.
The full truth is that not only are huge networks of corruption entangling the entire ‘democratic’ process, not only are there people the future President must bow to both before he wins in order to get into office and after he wins in order to repay the money and power they deployed to get him (or her) there, but there is also the associated matter of an entire backroom ruling class that must be nurtured, flattered and rewarded too.
There’s the campaign staff, for instance, and the policy advisors, and the people who worked on your campaign waiting for some plum administrative role when the spoils of victory are divided. All these people have big salaries and their own sense of destiny and importance. All of them come from the same ruling class.
We may never hear most of their names, but they know each other. And they make very sure that the candidates know who they are too.
I want to talk about those people a little, as a class. I’m going to say a few things that might already be very obvious to you, but hopefully put them together in a way that is a bit novel. Let’s go back to August 2nd 2024.
Biden’s personal decision (hahahaha) to step down as the Democrat candidate had been publicly aired on July 22nd, following his disastrous debate performance on the 27th June and horrific private polling figures that persuaded senior Democrats like Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama that he had to go. Initial rumblings about an upcoming Convention seeing some sort of fresh choice being presented to party members swiftly evaporated, together with even the slightest pretext that the people constantly talking about threats to Democracy even know what it is.
By August 2nd, Kamala Harris was the new, uncontested, sole Democrat Party Presidential candidate, having never acquired a single solitary vote from anyone, never faced any public contest with anyone for the role, and never been challenged as to why she was any better a pick than her ousted and immediately eulogized boss. The Convention at the end of the month would be the Harris Joy Convention. Already, on the 2nd August, she (or the people controlling her) were re-assembling her campaign staff.
On the 2nd August we find a now somewhat hilarious article from NBC News announcing the crack team of expert election winners who would be steering the Harris campaign from that point on (‘This is the A-team’: Harris campaign brings on new hires as it sprints to Election Day’). The tone is one of breathless excitement, giddy confidence and (of course) near religious zeal:
“Quickly flush with cash, flooded with volunteers and greeted by jubilant crowds, Vice President Kamala Harris’ newly minted campaign has now made a major move to help manage it all, bringing on some of the biggest names in Democratic politics.
A flurry of high-profile hires announced Friday — including David Plouffe, who managed President Barack Obama’s first White House run, and veteran Democratic operatives Stephanie Cutter and Jennifer Palmieri — comes as the Harris campaign rushes to transform away from Joe Biden’s operation and make a mad dash to November.
“This is, let’s take Trump down once and for all," said a person with close knowledge of the process around Harris. This person, like others in this story, requested anonymity to speak candidly.
With fewer than 100 days to the election, Harris aides must tackle a series of consequential moments and decisions that would typically be stretched across months. That level of intensity in a short period of time necessitated a crew of hardened professionals, several sources with knowledge of Harris' strategy said.
“Today, accept a nomination. This weekend, pick a vice president. Next week, a major campaign swing, then the convention and then it’s the debate,” one person with knowledge of Harris’ strategy said.
Some of the high-profile staffing additions are meant to focus on messaging, polling and paid media, which had been helmed by longtime Biden operatives Mike Donilon and Steve Ricchetti.
Obama had recommended to Harris that she bring on Plouffe, according to one of the sources, who will act as a senior adviser on strategy. Cutter will be a senior adviser on message and strategy. Mitch Stewart will act as a senior adviser on battleground states, and Palmieri will serve as senior adviser to the second gentleman.
The core of the operations around states’ work, communications and the advance team will mostly remain the same, while Harris’ communications personnel — like senior adviser Brian Fallon — will be elevated, and there will be extra help across the board. That extra assistance will include advance staff, given that the campaign is having far more robust events in larger venues and is hosting many more of them. Harris has also brought on a new speechwriter, overseeing message consistency.
“This is the A-team,” longtime Democratic strategist Pete Giangreco said. “It means the vice president is in it to win it. It speaks well of the kind of president she would be. She’s surrounding herself with top-level campaign talent … These are people who are winners and have played at the very highest levels of politics and government.”
I’ve quoted a large chunk of it because it all speaks to the early Harris Anointment confidence, the palpable relief with which these people ditched the Living Corpse of Joe Biden. But it also speaks to the nature of their perhaps central and defining delusion.
The delusion that they are the experts.
These are the biggest names. They are top-level campaign talent. They are people who are winners. They are people who have played at the very highest levels. They are the A-Team. They are a crew of hardened professionals.
Blimey. This wasn’t just any old campaign team. These people were going to storm the election the way the SAS stormed the Iranian embassy in 1980. I pity the fool who would stand in their way, as Mr T might have said at his most eloquent.
Isn’t it extraordinarily childish? This type of reportage, this type of achingly fantastical, non-critical judgement of their own type…because that’s the real truth behind this political and media class as a whole, this entire shoddy and laughable ruling elite so invested in their own importance and self-perceived brilliance.
These are children masquerading as adults. Fanatical, zealous, hypocritical, dangerous, hate-filled, spoilt, emotional…children.
The people who always describe themselves as the adults in the room are the people who are always perpetual adolescents, the people who have never had to mature into fully formed individuals via an adult reckoning with adult problems.
Will any of those hardened professionals have a background like that of any ordinary person? Will they really have ever had to worry about whether mum and dad are employed or can put food on the table? How many of them have ever been from a background that isn’t comfortable and rather more than merely comfortable?
I’m not even talking about coming from an Appalachian underclass or a JD Vance level background. You don’t need a broken and a dysfunctional background to become an adult. It’s not that the only good administrators, executives, campaign managers and political operatives had a Mummy who was a crack whore and a Daddy who was a fist swinging drunk.
Its more that all the really bad administrators, executives, campaign managers and political operatives, the dumbest class of the most useless people, have ALWAYS had things given to them by a rich Daddy and a rich Mummy and a rich, spoilt, affluent background of easy contacts, easy money, easy opportunity and easy achievement.
It’s that the present ruling class in most cases didn’t build a thing or achieve a thing on their own at any point in their lives. Any more than they ever had to actually worry about a mortgage payment. These are the people, almost every time, who have played at the highest levels without ever having first to prove that they can play at all.
I read the other day about an obese goalkeeper for an obscure football club. This guy is massively overweight and terrible at his job. He can’t play. He is physically unable to play at even a semi-professional level. Since he was first put in the team, they have dropped two divisions. But his parents own the club and keep playing him because he wants to play at the highest level.
I identify as a professional footballer. Ignore my weight.
Yes, honey, you are. Oh look, we lost another game.
It’s not just the money. It’s not just the nepotism and the overly supportive network of friends and family propelling these people from one ‘individual’ but unearned triumph or post to the next.
Its the ideology too. Unite that real social and financial advantage to a bullshit ideology that deflects the idea of advantage onto other shoulders (like claiming its a race thing rather than a class thing) and you have what we have.
A ruling class that can’t tie their own goddamn shoelaces but who think that they are the people best quipped to save the entire planet from some other bullshit they also believe in.
The people who can’t repair a bridge or fill in a pothole and who are yet the same people who sneer at a man who delivers space rockets that reverse dock themselves using breakthrough technology to totally new landing frames.
These are our experts in everything.
Of course they are incompetent. They have never had any risk of any real setback. They have drifted through life with the Governor coming to dinner and the Senator finding them an internship and the Judge who is also Uncle Fester to their particular Addams Family finding them Not Guilty when their high school high spirits see them crash a car under the influence of drugs.
Rich people have been doing what Haitian drivers also do for a long time, and not just in fiction like the hit and run that takes place in The Great Gatsby. Remember good old Ted Kennedy? In both instances under a very old corruption (having money) or under a very new ideology (the sanctified blackness of a migrant) the cause of that two-tier reaction doesn’t matter. People who can get away with it will notice, and do it more.
Give them the keys of the car we all sit in (the nation) and of course these feckless spoilt retards who know nothing but see themselves as highly competent will drive it straight off a cliff.
As Fitzgerald also writes they’re not like you and me.
Money can indeed be a marker of great competence or great achievement. I’ll admit that Elon Musk is a technical genius, and that even someone as malign as Bill Gates probably is too, in certain limited ways. I’m not a Marxist hating on wealth and capitalism or even hating on the existence of an upper class. But wealth without competence, a post earned purely by privilege, a job given as a favor, a profession built on cant and corruption and a class that have lost all connection to the common man and all the shared ties of loyalty to the same place and principles…these are the conditions of collapse and the harbingers of self-destruction.
Especially when their failures are never punished and their crimes never accounted for.
Especially when they are allied with ideologies that teach them to care about pronouns but sneer at real competence when it rudely interrupts their playing at the highest levels.
What did the hardened professionals deliver for the anointed Kamala, anyway? Has it been a competent campaign? Of course not. It’s veered from one car crash to the next, even with the mainstream media setting out guys with flags to direct the traffic. Kamala, given the nomination in the same way one of these perpetually indulged kids is given the keys to a sports car on their birthday. is representative too of the Given Everything and Call It an Achievement modern elite.
If they manage to perform enough fraud she will be handed an election victory too.
But its true of ALL of them.
Think of just how many rich people are getting richer drawing a fat salary as supposed political experts. How many were drawing those salaries and offering that ‘expertise’ when Hillary lost in 2016? How many such ‘brilliant’ and ‘seasoned’ professionals have lined up to be wrong on every topic there is since 2016, drawing more money to be wrong yet again?
And these are the people who schooled Kamala and Walz on how to get through even a friendly interview without making fools of themselves? That schooling does not seem to have worked very well, as far as I can see. These are the people who picked the campaign strategies? The policies? Who must have said sure, great idea when Kamala said I know, food price controls like Stalin, that’s the winner! And then said, better ditch that one….
All these Media Strategy Coordinators. All these Campaign Managers. All these Assistant Directors of Holistic Interface Solutions. It’s almost as if its just wankers giving themselves meaningless titles, ism’t it?
Surely not.
Even if they somehow now drag the Kamala Carcass across the finish line better than they were dragging the Biden Corpse around, these aren’t mighty necromancers, seasoned Wonder Workers, and Super Competent A-Team campaigners. They are the Joke Professionals of the Clown World, the 35-55 year old’s stuck with the same little minds they had at 14 or 15.
A win won’t be by their brilliance, professionalism, insight or advice. It will be by fraud or assassination.
For god’s sake, they appear to have managed to pick a pedophile as a Vice Presidential candidate after already having delivered a pedophile as President. We might start to think they are ALL pedophiles….
Surely not.
The fact that there is a whole troupe of top-level campaign talent behind Kamala should be remembered. The fact that Democrats were saying in August that this is the best they have got should be remembered. Because it’s actually true in one sense.
This is the best they will offer us.
The best this whole class can do when they need to win.
I think we who detest and oppose them have argued for far too long over a binary choice of understanding between are they incompetent or are they malign.
Face facts. They are in one way as exceptional as they have always considered themselves to be. They aren’t just incompetent and they aren’t just malign.
They the very best there is, at both.

Kamala, who had not faced one tough interview, said she agreed to be interviewed on Fox by Bret Baier.
But 30 minutes is more a cameo than an interview.
Then she showed up late, ended the session early, and refused to answer ANY of his questions.
If anyone disagrees, answer any of these.:
How many illegals came in?
Should she apologize to the families?
How does she explain the wrong direction polling numbers?
When did she first notice Joe Biden's decline?
How are Republicans to blame for legislation not passed when Democrats controlled both chambers the first two years?
I could go on and on except she didn't allow any more questions to be asked.
What is her China policy?
How would she end the war in Ukraine?
What is causing the inflation mess and what will she do about it?
Will she build nuclear power plants and why didn't they?
Will she block more pipelines and drilling?
What changed her mind on fracking?
Does she agree with biological boys and men playing in girls and women's sports?
None of this was allowed to be asked as the candidate's staff ended the interview, and the questions that were asked were never answered.

Madam Vice President,
If "Joe is fine", why isn't he still running? He won all the primaries.
https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/friharriss-one-strong-answer-bret-baier-americans-just-dont-believe
Notice the Vice President doesn't refer to him publicly as 'The President'. He's just "Joe", like they would call him as a patient in a memory care clinic.
Now that we know she can't answer questions either, maybe the higher-ups will meet again and elevate Gov Tim Walz, who also won no primaries, to be the replacement nominee.

NYT withheld evidence in plagiarism story: Earlier this week, Christopher Rufo alleged that Kamala Harris plagiarized in her book Smart on Crime. Following Rufo's report, The New York Times dutifully dismissed it as amounting to little other than what plagiarism expert Jonathan Bailey concluded was "an error and not an intent to defraud." However, as Bailey has now received the full dossier, he said that his analysis was only his "initial reaction," and "with this new information ... I believe the case is more serious than I commented to the New York Times." However, Bailey maintains, "The overarching points remain. While there are problems with this work, the pattern points to sloppy writing habits, not a malicious intent to defraud." In other words, Harris plagiarized, but it doesn't matter because it's not as bad as some have played it up to be. Effectively, Bailey argues that because others have been forgiven "for much greater plagiarism sins," holding it against Harris as anything other than simply being sloppy work is unfair. That's what you get with a DEI hire like Harris.

stealing other people's works or ideas is stealing.

she was an AG stealing other works.

I wondered that as well. It's pretty easy to find lawyers better than her to try the cases. She also of course had career people to run the administrative side.
Nothing wrong with being a political figurehead.
Keith Ellison is our attorney general. He saves himself for the showboat cases. Big cases have teams of lawyers.
The Attorney General is who you hold accountable if something goes wrong, but not when you have one party government like california.

Harris Still Aims to Hold Police Back
In an interview on ‘The Breakfast Club,’ she calls for more federal control of local law enforcement.

Kamala Harris has avoided talking about crime and law enforcement on the campaign trail. No surprise there. Since the George Floyd race riots, many American cities have descended into public disorder. Surveillance videos routinely document flash mobs invading businesses, assaulting employees and stealing whatever participants can carry, including cash registers. Customers bear the brunt of stores’ defenses against runaway shoplifting—such as toothpaste locked behind a plexiglass barrier. Drive-by shootings mow down innocent civilians. Urban violent crime has surged 40% between 2019 and 2023.
Instead of discussing her plans for public safety, Ms. Harris has relied on friendly media to trumpet her alleged crime-fighting successes—as one New York Times headline put it, “Her Experience Fighting Cross-Border Crime.” In an interview last week on a black-oriented radio show, “The Breakfast Club,” however, she made clear that she remains committed to her previously stated view that systemic racism “seeps into every part of American life” and “racial injustice” is rampant in policing.
This understanding of law enforcement led Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden to routinely characterize police officers as threats to black children. It led their administrations to put police departments under consent decrees—court-enforced plans to decrease alleged bias. If elected, Ms. Harris appears poised to inject this negative view of policing further into local law enforcement.
A caller to the show asked Ms. Harris what she would do “to make sure that there’s a stop to police brutality and murders that have been going on viciously.” The question was based on the false premise that police officers routinely murder blacks. On average, a little over a dozen unarmed black men are killed each year by police officers, according to the Washington Post’s police shootings database. (The Post’s “unarmed” category can include someone trying to grab an officer’s gun.) The 15 or so unarmed black victims of police shootings are a fraction of the 8,000 to 10,000 blacks murdered annually by other black civilians.
Yet Ms. Harris accepted the questioner’s premise that police murders “have been going on viciously.” She replied that as a U.S. senator she had tried to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, a bill that would have restricted the use of certain police tactics and eliminated qualified immunity for law-enforcement officers, thereby opening them to financial liability for contested enforcement actions. Ms. Harris said the Biden administration has “been trying to make these things national so that everyone would have to do it.” In other words, the federal government would set the rules for local policing.
What might those rules entail? During the interview, Ms. Harris claimed that Donald Trump’s plan “for black America” is spelled out in Project 2025, the blueprint for the next administration that Mr. Trump has consistently repudiated. Ms. Harris said—falsely—that the project would require police departments to adopt stop-question-and-frisk policies. Project 2025 is in fact silent about these and any other local law-enforcement tactics.
More troubling than Ms. Harris’s misinformation is the possibility that her administration may—in the name of racial justice—ban local police departments from making police stops. (These are brief detentions of pedestrians or drivers who have raised a reasonable suspicion that they are involved in criminal activity.) No tactic has proven more effective in getting illegal guns off the street than police stops in crime hot spots.
Ms. Harris said that she stands for the “freedom” to be “free” from police brutality. Police brutality is a sickening abuse of government power. But the police training and accountability revolution in recent decades has made such abuse rare. Democrats’ near-exclusive focus on police transgressions ignores the real source of violence against blacks—crimes committed by other blacks—and makes such violence harder to combat.

>
> Sen. Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) and Rep. Elise Stefanik (R., N.Y.) launched a probe into Vice President Kamala Harris's national security adviser over his ties to an Iranian government influence network, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.
>
> In a Wednesday letter to Harris, Cotton and Stefanik asked the presumptive Democratic nominee to provide information about her adviser Phil Gordon's "connections to Ms. Ariane Tabatabai, a senior Department of Defense official who was reportedly involved in an Iranian government operation to expand Tehran's soft power in the United States."
>
> Gordon, the letter notes, coauthored at least three opinion pieces with Tabatabai that argued against sanctions on the Iranian regime. Tabatabai was outed last year as an alleged member of an Iranian-run influence network that reported back to Tehran's foreign ministry.
> Gordon's connections to Tabatabai are fueling concerns ahead of the 2024 election. Gordon is likely to play a central national security role in a Harris White House, and his connections to pro-Tehran advocacy groups suggest that renewed diplomacy with Iran will be a top foreign policy priority for Harris if she is elected.
>
> Cotton and Stefanik are primarily concerned about Gordon's access to classified information and want to know if his ties to Tehran's enablers might disqualify him from holding a top-secret security clearance.
>
> Gordon, the lawmakers note, published pieces with Tabatabai "blatantly promoting the Iranian regime's perspective and interests." Those pieces were published after the time Tabatabai was alleged to be working for the Iran Experts Initiative (IEI), an influence network that included several American policymakers associated with the Biden administration's former Iran envoy, Robert Malley, who was indefinitely suspended from his job amid allegations that he leaked classified information.
>
> In a March 2020 article, Gordon and Tabatabai "claimed continued sanctions on Iran would create 'catastrophe' in the Middle East," Cotton and Stefanik wrote in their letter. In another piece, according to the lawmakers, Gordon and Tabatabai "wrote sanctions could lead to new Iranian efforts to 'lash out with attacks on its neighbors, and on Americans and American interests in the Middle East.' Each prediction was as wrong, as it was biased in favor of Tehran."
>
> Gordon is also "closely associated with the National Iranian American Council (NIAC), another Iranian influence organization that allegedly collaborates with Tehran," according to the letter. NIAC has long faced allegations of serving as Iran's unregistered lobbying arm in America and was a player in the Obama administration's self-described pro-Tehran "echo chamber." Gordon spoke at NIAC's Leadership Conference in 2014 and 2016, before and after his time serving in the Obama administration as a Middle East hand working on the nuclear agreement with Iran.
>
> "The Biden-Harris Administration is no stranger to Iran accommodators, appeasers, and accomplices," Cotton and Stefanik wrote. "Ms. Tabatabai remains gainfully employed in the Defense Department, helping oversee sensitive special operations. The FBI is investigating your former Special Envoy for Iran Robert Malley for passing classified intelligence to Tehran and your Special Envoy Amos Hochstein allegedly passed intelligence about Israeli airstrikes to Hezbollah potentially as recently as this weekend."
>
> The lawmakers pressed the vice president's office to come clean about Gordon's ties to the pro-Tehran advocacy world and about the nature of his relationship with Tabatabai.
>
> "When you hired Mr. Gordon, were you aware of his connections with Ariane Tabatabai, the IEI, and the NIAC?" Cotton and Stefanik asked. "Did Mr. Gordon undergo security screening and receive a security clearance when you hired him? Does he have an active security clearance?"
>
> The lawmakers also want to know if Harris initiated an investigation into Gordon after "Tabatabai's connections to the Iranian Foreign Ministry were revealed in September 2023."
>
> "Did Mr. Gordon admit and report his ties to this individual?" they asked. "Have you or Mr. Gordon met with other members of the IEI, including Ali Vaez? Have you met with Ms. Tabatabai personally?"
>
> "As the Vice President do you support Ms. Tabatabai's continued employment at the Department of Defense?" the lawmakers went on. "As the Vice President what specific actions will you take to address the issue of Iranian sympathizers, aside from yourself, within the Administration?"
>
> In his 2014 speech to the NIAC, Gordon said that a "nuclear agreement [with Iran] could begin a multi-generational process that could lead to a new relationship between our countries."
>
> NIAC continues to champion diplomacy with Iran and praised Harris in 2020 for committing to reenter the nuclear deal after former president Donald Trump abandoned it.
>
> In a 2018 op-ed written with Malley, Gordon argued that "Iran sanctions won't advance U.S. interests."
>
> "Far from convincing Tehran to cooperate, new U.S. measures are on track to achieve the exact opposite," Gordon and Malley wrote in Foreign Policy magazine. "In Trump's vision, sanctions are a quasi-magical, multi-purpose tool: They would force Iran back to the table to accept an improved nuclear deal, include restrictions on Tehran's ballistic missiles program, and give inspectors unlimited access."

Are the Cheneys the most popular and charismatic politicians the Harris Walz campaign can find?
If you loved the J6 spoof committee's work selectively looking at videos and avoiding others, then destroying the files, and think Trump led an armed insurrection on the Capital, aren't you already on Kamala Harris for President bandwagon?
Isn't Dick Cheney the only VP to have lower favorability, likeability numbers than Kamala?
Liz said all those horrible things about Kamala, Socialist Communist to the left of Bernie Sanders etc., nad now endorses her because it's personal?
And who is the most persuasive political figure on the Left, and where did they send him? Barack Obama of course, and they sent him to the purple swing city of Madison? BBG here will know that is sarcasm... They sent Obama to where everyone already votes Left!

If Obama is really "The One", then how does Walz look alongside him? A bit of a letdown? Who is the warm up speaker for whom?

Threading the needle. Her story is the opposite of compelling.
She carefully and intentionally earned the spot of Leftmost US Senator to position herself for the 2020 primaries. A prettier face than Bernie Sanders, not by much.
She went after frontrunner Joe Biden like no one ever has. "I was that girl" she said after a strange tale of how tough it was in Berkeley or Montreal or wherever.
They send Obama to Madison because it's all about turnout of your base. Meanwhile, top of the ticket Kamala tours swing state to swing state in a lovefest with Liz Cheney, and her father, Democrat hero(not) Dick Cheney.
Kamala faux disavows all the positions of the Left. Suddenly she's a border hawk. A capitalist. A constitutionalist. A Fracker!
Nobody she's targeting believes it but it's got to be a little dispiriting on the Left, people who never knew their positions are too extreme. NYT has the story:

Let her not answer why she did nothing but years to stop the flow, in her own words.
(Doug) I'll help. Just say the truth. We wanted as many as possible to come in no matter the cost, no matter the damage.
Weird to be in a position where the truth about your own motives is damning.
More truth, she could say, that's what the people behind the curtain were telling us to do, do nothing to stop the flow. Let them in. Let them vote. And we will win forever. Our agencies will fudge the crime data, and will print as much money as is necessary to cover the cost.
When it comes time to be held accountable, we can shift the name on the ballot and call it a new generation of leadership, an opportunity society. Cut the flow at the last minute and take credit for cutting the flow.

This is in addition to all the plagiarism found in her book.
https://freebeacon.com/democrats/kamala-harris-plagiarized-pages-of-congressional-testimony-from-a-republican-colleague-plus-a-fictionalized-story-about-human-trafficking/
From the article:
"Virtually her entire testimony about the bill was taken from that of another district attorney, Paul Logli of Winnebago County, Illinois, who had testified in support of the legislation two months earlier before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Both statements cite the same surveys, use the same language, and make the same points in the same order, with a paragraph added here or there. They even contain the same typos, such as missing punctuation or mistaken plurals."
As Trump said, she is an empty vessel.
'At this point, what difference does it make.'

It's the final closing arguments. She's a world class prosecutor (self rated). HE has the number one rated podcast in the country - right while everyone is turning to podcasts. She wants to be understood, to explain her changes of positions etc. (not).
She wants to reach republicans, independents, she needs to reach Democrats who are quickly losing faith.
And she cancels. Because of, uh, 'scheduling'.
https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2024/10/25/kamala-harris-bails-on-joe-rogan-due-to-scheduling/
How long does a one or two hour interview take anyway?
Besides talking to America, what else does she have on the schedule between now and election day?
She took the day off from campaigning recently to meet with her campaign bosses in DC. I guess they came up with the 'Trump is Hitler' idea. That took all day?
Interviews are really hard when you know the truth will sink you.

Check out the vid at the link. It’s the best argument of seen making the case Harris is a wretched human being and that should disqualify her from holding ANY office:
This entire history of hers is truly offensive.
But, as someone who was a federal prosecutor for 21 years, what truly offends me is the way she viewed her power to ruin lives.
I have written this before -- early in my career, I had a senior prosecutor I respected tell me to temper my enthusiasm for "doing right". His advice was to understand how my signature would ruin lives -- not just the defendant's life, but the lives of his/her spouse and children. Everything normal would be turned upside down by having the DOJ seeking to send them to federal prison.
The warning was meant to be sobering, and it stuck with me. Now as a defense attorney I see the reality of that warning that was only theoretical when told to me.
Harris never had that view -- her comments here, which came many years into her career -- reflect a lust for that kind of power. She seems to relish the fact that she could ruin lives rather than be restrained by it.
It is the very essence of prosecutorial discretion - to be influenced by other factors into not filing a criminal charge that might be technically warranted by a myopic focus on the facts alone.
She's a two-dimensional thinker who is oblivious to consequences of her decisions.
That makes her dangerous.

2nd post. I’ve bumped into a couple sources claiming they can’t find many if any felonies Harris prosecuted, often embracing semantics by saying she “tried” hundreds of cases, which I guess means she was in the chain of command and hence her figurehead status confers vicarious credibility of some sort.
As that may be, I jumped on Qwant, asking if Harris had tried any cases. It appears she has, every now and then, but it’s a handful of felony cases, and sundry misdemeanors as she was working her way up the ladder. Far fewer, in short, than she constantly intimates. Given that the prosecutorial drum is one she beats long and loudly (it’s worth noting that some of the cases she was involved with left many “Progressives” unhappy, while others got LEOs spun up) and indeed, it appears to be one of the few credentials and accomplishments she is able to cite, it strikes me that this question should have been dug into far more vigorously than MSM, little better than Dem shills, devoted to it:

Of course she and her cabal will leave out she has the most LEFT/RADICAL voting record in the Senate.
Of course also will be left out that she was never bused or anything like it.
She copied MLK's story of the little girl telling a police officer she was for fweedom [ :roll:]
They will not say what she said - she would not change one Biden policy, pretend she was not VP for 5 yrs while sitting there with a cackling face and tell us we need a new way forward.
reminds me of the multiple make over attempts of Hillary from the cut throat viscious criminal into some sort of nice sweet sensitive gentle lady.

91% have attended 3 or more Harris rallies.
Interesting, just over 11,000 were from Atlanta, Georgia, followed by 6,500 from California.
Using our Antifa/BLM/Pro-Palestinian overlays, 6,122 were linked to 3 or more Antifa/BLM/Pro-Palestinian protests/riots.

First, she was chosen as the only one Joe could pass his campaign money to and then raised a billion dollars and lost.
I also heard she spent a billion more than Trump (who won).
One might think that would pause the Democrat money machine.
Where did the money go? All over the place. They paid their celebrities, a million to Oprah and money to singers who didn't sing. An abortion clinic at the convention, whose idea was that??

My understanding is that she spent $1.02B and Trump $380M i.e. roughly 3 to 1.
Partial agree on the role of her being able to receive the money Biden had already raised, but I have also seen indirect assertions e.g. by Pelosi, again in recent days, that Biden's endorsement of her, (which came minutes after his withdrawal, in a separate document not on official stationary or something like that?) foreclosed the possibility of there being some sort of a competitive process.

True, also how long he waited closed the process.
The endorsement of one infirmed man should not set the course of a great nation.
And she was part of (head of?) the conspiracy covering up his deterioration. That should have devalued, negated his endorsement of her.
Democrats just experienced triple whiplash ending in a total crash. They all supported Biden in the primaries. Then they saw him fail. They were elated when Harris entered and reversed the polls. Then she couldn't answer a question and failed and Trump won, they're very worst nightmare. Trump deranged syndrome is very real. The hatred goes way beyond the policies.

Kamala promised her staffers payment until the end of the year.
She just cut them off because the campaign is $20,000,000 in debt.
Let me restate that:
The candidate who ran on JOY, somehow spent $1 billion in 107 days.
The candidate who ran on JOY, reportedly spent $2,626,110 on private flights alone in the last two weeks of the election.
And the candidate who ran on JOY, just stopped paying her employees at Christmas time, the most JOYOUS time of the year.
And now she's begging donors for even more money, even though the election is over and she lost.
And people wanted to hand her control of the American economy! 😂

a billion + flows into a campaign
who could guess the grifters , slime balls, and other opportunists would all jump in to get a piece of that cash
who could have guessed Harris would be prudently spending this money
even the phony "celebrities" cashing in.
I like most of us thought the celebs were donating their time etc when instead they were cashing in like the soundrels most of them are.

Quelle surprise!
I gather that an addtional billion plus was spent by independent deep money backers as well.

(Doug). It's the party's policies that are exactly wrong. Change the name on the ballot and the policies are still wrong.
She couldn't separate herself from Biden because she isn't separate from Biden on policy.
She couldn't move to the center because she isn't to the center.
Where is the center on multi trillion dollar deficits? Smaller multi trillion dollar deficits? Where is the center on a multi-million person illegal invasion of the border? Smaller multi-million person invasions ? Where is the center on runaway inflation? Where is the center on genders don't exist? The answer isn't in the center, the answer is to stop having bad policies that hurt the nation and everyone in it.

Rogan dishes on claims he failed to accommodate Harris interview:
https://legalinsurrection.com/2025/02/joe-rogan-claims-kamala-harris-campaign-lied-about-why-she-didnt-appear-on-his-podcast/
It’s not hard to suss this one out: she can’t string together 90 seconds of coherency sans cackle, Rogan wanted her on for something more like the 3 hours over which he spoke to Trump, Kamala’s handlers knew that wouldn’t fly and so sought to insert sundry factotums and flappers in the room to run interference, Rogan would have none of that, and as Dems are wont to do Harris toadies are trying to recast reality into a version where they are the oppressed, with that formula growing all sorts of old, too.
-
Update : OK, I watched it.
In one sense they shouldn't have bothered to hide it, it's just Kamala saying what she always says. In another sense, it does put her in a worse light.
The 20 minute, edited version is not very good either, but it's a sports highlight film compared to the long version.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEu8hSGDKJA
Biden won the 2020 election by staying in the basement "because of covid". He didn't do the Super Bowl softball interview while running for reelection because, I guess they didn't give a reason.
She was anointed late, barely had time to introduce herself, so she avoided all interviews and engagements with the press and public.
And when they did let her go out, they tried to hide most of it.
He asked her the same question five or six times because he doesn't get an answer. On the highlights reel, he asks once and they clip in the best of what they could find in the answers. That, of course, is misleading. Mostly they edited to make her look fast when mostly she was slow.
I don't think they want us to get to know her better, it doesn't help.
The whole way she is asking herself, 'how do I fit my prepared Spiel into his questions. I won't give anyone another inch no matter how many times they ask.'
On the media side of it, there's this:

As far as Trump's assertions that CBS should lose its license because of this, I saw the new head of the FCC point out that CBS is public airwaves (finite bandwidth), not cable (unlimited bandwidth), and therefore certain responsible to the public standards apply and that it is up to the FCC to enforce them.

My hope is a serious shot gets fired across the bow of CBS, and by extension all the alphabet networks. We can them make some popcorn and watch as they attempt to affect “fair and balanced” reporting while trying to keep true to their “Progressive” nature. The ensuing convolutions ought to be quite amusing.

Be careful what we hope for.
I agree about all her flaws. I don't mean it personal, but she just isn't pleasant to listen to. Her list of jobs held is nearly perfect for running for president but her accomplishments on the positive side are none.
In her first debate with Trump I thought she prosecuted her side of the case as well as was possible. I came away from it thinking Democrats must be pleased.
To me it keeps coming back to the policies. Their arguments are fine when you're out of power, but when in power your policies have a track record of results and the results were dismal.
For example, she was the so-called borders are. We were told they could not control the border without some bipartisan act of Congress. But then Trump took office and border crossings dropped by more than 95%, meaning they were either lying or just wrong.
Same with spending and inflation, same with fracking and blocking energy production, same with peace through weakness, same with men in girls Sports and in girls locker rooms, there wasn't a different messenger within the Democratic Party to solve anything that went wrong.
Rahm Emmanuel is the one saying the right things. They need to unite the left with a so-called Centrist, but that is not what the 26% or so who still call themselves Democrats want. The party is moving left as they lose the center, not moderating.
