Kamala Has Already Struck Out

These guidelines made it abundantly clear that the media were "required" to handle Biden's choice with kid gloves.  Questions were not to be probing; instead, this veep candidate, unlike the vicious coverage Sarah Palin endured years ago, was to be above questioning.  . . . Bottom line: Biden is in hiding; Kamala is untouchable.

Janice Shaw Crouse  "Even before the Democrat presidential candidate, Joe Biden, named his choice for vice president, a group of Democrat Party activists released an unprecedented document outlining their "rules" for how the media could address issues surrounding the woman Biden ultimately chose.  These guidelines made it abundantly clear that the media were "required" to handle Biden's choice with kid gloves.  Questions were not to be probing; instead, this veep candidate, unlike the vicious coverage Sarah Palin endured years ago, was to be above questioning.  With astounding hubris, the Democrats actually warned the media that they would "monitor coverage" of the female veep candidate and that anything even slightly critical would be condemned as "racist and sexist."  Hollywood celebrities and the usual line-up of leftist women's groups (NARAL, Planned Parenthood, etc.) have promised Kamala, "We've got your back." . . .

"1. Opportunistic Career Path — We are not supposed to have noticed (or it's not supposed to make a difference or matter), but Kamala Harris came into politics as a mistress under the patronage of the notoriously unethical speaker of the House in California, Willie Brown. " . . .
"2. Radical Woke Ideologies and Policies — Many analysts believe that Kamala Harris will be America's most radical left political candidate ever. " . . .
"3. Kavanaugh Hearings Debacle — The final strike is the most disgraceful.  The way Kamala Harris treated Brett Kavanaugh at the 2018 confirmation hearings was the most disrespectful and vicious of the senators.  She stood out at the hearings for her deceitful questioning and the revolting tone of her accusations.  She accepted the flimsiest of evidence in attacking Kavanaugh – for instance, the implausible and unsubstantiated accusation of gang rape — and praised an obviously "deceptively edited video" claiming that Kavanaugh opposed birth control, claiming that it was all about "punishing women."

Her extreme positions were so bad that she was actually called out by the left. Her attacks — called fear-invoking lies and possibly attempts at a presidential audition — were acknowledged as false and criticized by left-wing PolitiFact and her liberal hometown newspapers, The San Francisco Chronicle and the Los Angeles Times.  As President Trump said, she was, indeed, "extraordinarily nasty" to Brett Kavanaugh.

"Guy Benson, Townhall political editor, described her Kavanaugh performance as "particularly demagogic, cynical and abysmal.' " . . .

Here we see how this will all play out: D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser: Trump Calling Kamala Harris Angry and Mean Is ‘a Racist Trope’…

"Get ready for endless amounts of this nonsense until November."

Whatever Happens, Kamala Harris Wins

Biden backed himself into a corner through his malapropistic aspersions of African Americans and the claims against him about molestation of women (claims Harris once endorsed), and pledged a black female candidate (or, as some have suggested, a dark-skinned person with a cervix).

If the ticket is successful, her chances of being president are excellent. And if the Democrats lose, the ranks of defeated vice presidential candidates include many who went on to greater things.

 "The appointment of Senator Kamala Harris as Democratic candidate for vice president is a suitable final step in the increasingly goofy Joe Biden campaign, prior to next week’s virtual Democratic convention. She was a catastrophic candidate for the presidential nomination, starting out as a strong rival to Marxist Senator Bernie Sanders, and like Biden himself and all the others except Mayor Pete Buttigieg, her candidacy sank like a rock. Almost every policy question was answered with a pious assertion of the need for “a national conversation.”
"If her proposals had been acted upon, the country would have been swept by a pandemic of logorrhea (the inability to stop talking). Harris favors open borders and compared the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) service to the Ku Klux Klan. 
"She favors the entire Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Green Terror, including abolition of fracking and ultimately of fossil fuel consumption and use, and the now customary Democratic hare-brained nonsense about windmills and solar panels. (At the confirmation hearing for James Mattis as secretary of defense, she asked him how he would combat climate change.) 
"She favors free full-service public healthcare for everyone, sharply increased taxes, and the confiscation of privately owned firearms—Beto O’Rourke could soon be on every doorstep in America." . . .  More...

Something’s not quite right about this. The victim’s name is Myron Berryman, but no pictures are published yet.

NY Post  "The 51-year-old man whose shooting by the Secret Service disrupted President Trump’s press conference is a 6-foot-3 former licensed boxer who was previously charged with resisting arrest and disorderly conduct, according to a report.

"Myron Berryman has been charged with assaulting a law enforcement officer after allegedly approaching a Secret Service agent Monday evening while claiming to have a weapon.
"The officer shot Berryman in the torso when he “crouched into a shooter’s stance as if about to fire a weapon,” officials said.
"Berryman, who has lived in Dayton, Ohio, Forrestville, Maryland, and, more recently, Wheeling, West Virginia, was charged in 2012 with resisting arrest and disorderly conduct in Prince George’s County, the Washington Post reported.
"He sought to take his case to trial, but it ended in a plea in 2013, according to the newspaper." . . .

Something’s not quite right about this. The victim’s name is Myron Berryman, but no pictures are published yet. His sister says he’s a very mild mannered kind person.

. . . "She speculated that he could have been taking part in protests outside the White House, where demonstrators have been gathering since the killing of George Floyd in the custody of Minneapolis police.
“ 'Myron is always encouraging everybody,” she said. “He has never had anything negative to say. He always encourages people.”
"Authorities are trying to figure out if Berryman has a history of mental illness. No weapon was recovered from the scene of the shooting, officials have said." . . .
