Will Kamala Harris make Time's Person of the Year?

Don't think much of them myself.

Kamala Harris has an enemies list of the press

. . . In many ways, Harris is merely a non-white version of Hillary Clinton. Both women are possessed by ruthless ambition, yet lack the necessary skills to succeed in politics at the national level. They are most comfortable when regurgitating talking points and platitudes. Objectively speaking, they share a knack for unsettling laughter and launched their political careers by dating powerful men.

"Harris's obsession with keeping track of the politicians and reporters who "don't fully understand her or appreciate her life experience" might seem strange, but it's nothing new. Hillary did the same thing but never got a chance to exact her revenge. Alas, neither will Harris, in all likelihood." . . . 

Self-absorbed Harris has an enemies list of non-fawning press

Mean Girl Kamala Harris Has a Burn Book

. . . Like the West Wing's Regina George, "Harris herself tracks political players and reporters whom she thinks don't fully understand her or appreciate her life experience," the Atlantic explains of the VP's burn book. "The Vice President and her team tend to dismiss reporters" and "trying to get her to take a few questions after events is treated as an act of impish aggression," the profile in cowardice continues.  . . . 

 Why is Kamala Harris so unlikable? She has a little Hillary Clinton problem  "Why is Kamala Harris so unlikable? Regardless of the side of the political spectrum one is on, it perhaps will be conceded by vast sections of the Alerican electorate that Kamala Harris is one of the most disliked politicians at the national scene. Her unpopularity can be gauged from the simple fact that she was forced to drop out of the presidential race even before a single vote was cast in the Democrat primaries.

"It took all of 2 minutes, possibly less than that, for Hawaiian Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard to end her presidential campaign. But one suspects the reason why it was so easy for Gabbard to destroy Kamala Harris during the Democratic debates is that she merely confirmed the deep seated suspicions the Democrat voter-base already harboured regarding the Senator from California.

"Tulsi Gabbard exposed the hollow nature of the public image Kamala Harris has built over the years. She spoke about the time when the Senator blocked evidence that would have proved the innocence of a man on death row, she locked up people for marijuana law violations while laughing about it when asked about consuming marijuana herself and these were just a few of a long list of transgressions Kamala Harris had committed over the years." . . .

Top Retired Officers Are Right: Biden’s Leftism And ‘Woke’ Military Threaten U.S. Security

Yesterday’s military can best be summed up by the motto of West Point: “Honor, Duty, Country.” Today’s motto might better be “Wokeness, Race, Gender.”

 Issues & Insights  "Military officials are trained to stand silently on the sidelines of politics, saying nothing but what relates to their mission, whatever it might be. But a recent open letter signed by 124 former flag-level officers warning of the dangerous effects of our nation’s sharp sudden turn to the left overturns that tradition. What do they know that the rest of us don’t?

The letter was not couched in military jargon or bureaucratese; it was plain-spoken and blunt in its concern about America’s course." . . .

. . . "Such sarcasm wasn’t in evidence back in October 2019, when left-leaning retired Adm. William McRaven in the New York Times called for President Donald Trump’s removal from office, “the sooner, the better.” Note that he didn’t call simply for Trump’s impeachment; the clear implication was he might even support a coup.

"He was seconded later by former Adm. Mike Mullen, Barack Obama’s ex-head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Mullen and McRaven made the media rounds, deriding Trump’s leadership and undermining his administration’s attempts at military reform. In an interview with NBC’s “Meet The Press,” Mullen said he was “very concerned about the Trump loyalists who have now gone to work in the Pentagon.” . . .

. . . "The military’s new Woke politics will not make troops more ready or able to fight. It will only lead to more anger, racial division, sexual grievances, social schisms and a lack of military preparedness. And that will leave us all vulnerable in the next major war, by ignoring or downplaying what our potential enemies are doing.

"Americans of whatever political stripe would be wise to take their former military leaders’ open letter seriously. No doubt, Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin, both masters of Marxist propaganda, do." . . .

Freedom Begins to Return as Masks Are Removed

The Epoch Times   "So here we are, 14 months or so after “two weeks to slow the spread” and “fifteen days to flatten the curve,” finally being allowed out of our jail cells and “permitted” by elected and unelected bureaucrats to breathe fresh air without wearing a slave muzzle. As the prisoners in Don Pizarro’s dungeons sing in Beethoven’s mighty opera, Fidelio: “Oh what joy, in the open air / Freely to breathe again!”

How did you enjoy your first taste of totalitarianism, America? And for your own good, too! . . .

. . . "The true nature of science is a process of ongoing questioning, and not the interpretation and enforcement of holy leftist writ. As the nation slowly begins to come to its senses, the scolding Karens begin their retreat back to their white wine and cat-litter boxes, and Dr. Fauci disappears from the television screens, the lockdown prisoners look up at the blue spring sky and wonder: what were we thinking?

"Allons, enfants! We have nothing to lose but our chains. And our masks."

Retired Flag Officers’ Letter To Biden Challenging His Presidency

 Noisy Room   "Primer: As the Democrats are aggressively fighting for election reform with the most disgusting legislation known as H.R. 1, it should also be noted that Liz Cheney (R-WY) was essentially removed from Republican leadership over what she calls the ‘big lie’.

"Then Mollie Hemmingway, Senior Editor at The Federalist has just released her new book titled Rigged. Her book discussed how media, big tech, and the Democrats seized the elections.

"We also cannot ignore former Ambassador and former DNI Director Ric Grenell when he asserts that Susan Rice is the shadow president. In fact, he has said it often and rightly so." ...

. . . "“Our Nation is in deep peril,” the signatories wrote in the introduction to the letter.

"“We are in a fight for our survival as a Constitutional Republic like no other time since our founding in 1776. The conflict is between supporters of Socialism and Marxism vs. supporters of Constitutional freedom and liberty.”

"Several military experts told Politico the letter was an outright partisan attack and dangerous.

"One serving Navy officer told Politico the letter was “disturbing and reckless” while Jim Golby, an expert in civil-military relations, told the outlet it was a “shameful effort to use their rank and the military’s reputation for such a gross and blatant partisan attack.” 

"The letter’s organizer, Maj. Gen. Joe Arbuckle, told Politico: “Retired generals and admirals normally do not engage in political actions.”

“ 'But the situation facing our nation today is dire … We are facing threats greater than at any other time since our country was founded. To remain silent would be a dereliction of duty.”

Conservative Group Puts Woke Corporations on Notice for Lies About Georgia Voting Bill   "Democratic lawmakers and activists are engaged in a full-fledged misinformation campaign about Georgia’s new voting reform law that was signed by Governor Brian Kemp (R-GA) earlier this year. Claims of “voter suppression” and barriers to the ballot box were lobbed at Republicans, though the allegations do not square with the bill’s actual contents. President Joe Biden was even awarded "4-pinocchios" from The Washington Post for likening the law to "Jim Crow in the 21st century.' " . . .
