Kamala Harris; Is she the best Democrats have?

Kamala Harris can't keep staff 

. . . Seems that being around Kamala is a hideous experience, given the slew of news stories coming out.  This raises another question: why is the mainstream press seemingly bringing out all these negative stories about Kamala?  Might it be that the media realize they've got a lemon in her when they manage to push senile old Joe out to pasture and need a replacement?  Could be most anything — best thing to do now is watch for that motive.

 The Deep Unpopularity of Kamala Harris (1)  . . . "Harris has never shown much skill or appeal as a politician. Her path to the top in California, essentially a one-party state at this point, was paved by her illicit relationship with Willie Brown. I am not sure what it is about Harris that repels voters, but it should scare the Democrats. It is highly unlikely that Joe Biden will be a candidate for re-election in 2024, assuming he survives that long. The Examiner comments:

That Kamala can’t even get a simple majority of independents is a problem, and if Donald Trump doesn’t try to reclaim his throne, she’ll be an absolute disaster for Democrats.

Imagine a race without the burden of Trump’s personality, bombast, and utter lack of loyalty to the GOP. According to nearly every early poll, [Ron] DeSantis, Florida’s governor, is the undisputed front-runner for a primary and one that should make Democrats shake in their boots. His politics include all of the best parts of Trump’s agenda but none of the bad or the baggage, and unlike the mild-mannered Pence, DeSantis could destroy Harris on a debate stage.

"Heck, Tulsi Gabbard destroyed Harris on the debate stage. But in all likelihood, the Democrats are stuck with her. If Biden dies or becomes incapacitated between now and 2024, Harris will be the incumbent. If Biden survives but graciously steps down after one term, it would be fratricidal for the Democrats to try to push Harris aside and nominate someone else. So, for better or worse, the Democrats are probably stuck with her."

The Deep Unpopularity of Kamala Harris (2)

. . . The problem isn’t “turf battles.” It is always a bad sign when a politician can’t good keep staff (or any staff), and Harris has long been known for being a terrible boss, going back to her time as California Attorney General. When you can’t keep eager political staff. . .

 People should have thought twice about voting for this corrupt ticket of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

   . . . Seems that being around Kamala is a hideous experience, given the slew of news stories coming out.  This raises another question: why is the mainstream press seemingly bringing out all these negative stories about Kamala?  Might it be that the media realize they've got a lemon in her when they manage to push senile old Joe out to pasture and need a replacement?  Could be most anything — best thing to do now is watch for that motive.

 Report: Kamala Harris Maintains an 'Enemies List' of Journalists

. . . "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." . . .

 

Identifying Lt. Colonel Matthew Lohmeier’s real sin

Eric Swalwell, Joe Biden, Maxine Waters, Lt. Gen. Stephen Whiting, and the Democrat party are a disgrace to this nation -- not worthy of the title of American. Drew Allen

 American Thinker   "Lt. Colonel Matthew Lohmeier, who commanded the 11th Space Warning Squadron at Buckley Air Force Base in Colorado, was recently relieved of command. Why?

"The Communist News Network, or CNN, reports that a Defense Department official told them that “Lt. Gen. Stephen Whiting, Space Operations Command commander, relieved Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier of command…due to loss of trust and confidence in his ability to lead.” What did the lieutenant colonel do to betray trust and confidence?

"Did Lohmeier sleep with a Chinese spy, making him a National Security threat? That would certainly result in a loss of trust and confidence in his ability to lead. No, but Democrat Congress-pronoun Eric Swalwell did. Swalwell was rewarded with an appointment to the House Intelligence Committee following revelations that he was compromised by a sexual relationship with a known Chinese spy.

"Did Lohmeier receive questionable payments from shady business dealings with the Communist Chinese? Was he compromised by financial ties to China? That would certainly be suspicious and result in a loss of trust and confidence in his ability to lead. No, but Joe Biden and Hunter, his immoral, useless, criminal embarrassment of a son, did. Joe Biden is unpopularly believed to be the “President.”

"Did Lohmeier encourage rioting and mob rule? That too would result in an erosion of trust and confidence in his ability to lead. No, he didn’t do that either. But Congress-pronoun Maxine Waters did when she called on protestors to “stay in the streets” and “demand justice” during the Derek Chauvin trial. Maxine Waters is still in Congress." . . .

. . . In the interview, Lohmeier discussed the impact of “a neo-Marxist agenda at the ground level within our armed forces.” He condemned Critical Race Theory, explained its Marxist roots, alerted the American public to its proliferation within the American military, and warned that this agenda “will divide us; it will not unify us.” In other words, Lohmeier told the truth. This is verboten — illegal in our post-constitutional America.  . . .

Chicago Mayor Lightfoot Reportedly Only Granting Interviews to ‘Black or Brown Journalists’

As a youth I spoke out often against segregation and the way we treated blacks, now many of their leaders are no better than the Jim Crow supporters I have known. TD

"I wonder how Lightfoot’s white wife feels about this. I wonder how the Asian and biracial reporters feel about this."

. . . "I have not seen the local reporters expand on the news. I do not know if this only applies to local reporters or all reporters. Will she only call on black and brown journalists at press conferences? So no Asian reporters? Indian reporters? How about bi-racial reporters?

"What if the reporter identifies as Black or Brown?" . . .

"Tucker Carlson may have kicked a hornet’s nest by pointing out that the U.S. military is captive to a cultural program that most Americans do not agree with." . . .

Rich Terrell

The Meaning of the Woke Military   "When official Department of Defense spokesmen attacked Tucker Carlson—who criticized the military’s integration of diversity-centered staffing mandates—they exposed a crucial gap between what Americans believe their military to be and the true purpose of our trillion-dollar war machine. What is being interpreted as an escalation in the culture wars is actually about how our regime perceives power itself. 

"The primary purpose of the U.S. military is to protect the global economic status quo, sometimes known as the “neoliberal order” or “the Washington Consensus.” General Officers and Senior Enlisted men responding to Carlson’s remarks about women in combat did so in their official capacity as representatives of the United States Department of Defense, in uniform, using official Twitter accounts without standard disclaimers. While they insisted they were simply “defending their soldiers” from unjust criticism, this superficial claim fails to capture the truth about the unfolding dynamic.

"The debate that is playing out right now about sex, gender, and the military is happening only because we never, as a country, actually had it. We never sat down and had a discussion about the merits of pushing our military services to adopt the goals of gender “neutrality” that have emerged as a cultural Schelling point over the last decade in the civilian world. “We” just did it, through executive orders and mandates within the Defense Department’s civilian leadership. This wasn’t part of any platform or campaign promise that a politician ran on, it wasn’t caused by any organic change in opinion by the general public on women in combat, and it was never talked about outside of semi-closed groups already intimately familiar with the data on the subject. " . . .

Civil Disobedience: Republicans BUCK Pelosi and Refuse to Wear Mask During Floor Vote

Good thing this lady wasn't turned loose on the Republicans:

Teacher caught on video berating vaccinated student for not wearing mask

"A Wisconsin high school teacher was caught on camera berating a vaccinated student for not wearing a face mask — calling the teen a “jerk” in the foul rant.

“ 'I don’t care if you’re vaccinated, you little dink!” the teacher in the Poynette school district tells the student in the video.

“ 'I don’t want to get sick and die! There’s other people you can infect just because you’re vaccinated. You know what? You’re not a special person around here,” she continues as the student sits with his back against a wall.

“ 'You should hear about how everyone talks about you around here. You’re a jerk! You’re a jerk and you need to have respect for other people in your life. You’re not a big man on campus — quit walking around here like you have a stick up your butt,” the unidentified woman adds." . . .  Video

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." . . .

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! . . .

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.' " . . .

H.R. 1 is a straight up Democratic power grab

H.R. 1 is a straight up Democratic power grab

"America is still grappling with the issues that plagued a divisive 2020 election. In that election cycle, Democratic politicians and left-wing lawyers launched a multi-state assault on election security laws that gave unprecedented and unconstitutional authority to non-legislative actors to change election laws.

"Now, Democrats are doubling-down on their efforts to undermine election security with H.R. 1, the so-called “For the People Act,” a bill that would federalize state elections while sweeping away state election integrity efforts.

"Rather than using the slimmest majority in modern history to enact bills that would fix problems in our election system, Democrats seem maniacally focused on making sure they maintain power in the next election. This bill shouldn’t be called the “For the People Act” but instead should be known as the “Democrat Power Grab Act of 2021” because it is clearly designed so Democrats can aggregate and exert power." . . .

It’s key for all Americans to understand how the S. 1 (H.R. 1) Corrupt Politicians Act fits into this power grab to fundamentally transform America into a socialist nation under permanent one-party rule.

The Media's Credibility Gap Continues to Grow

RedState

. . . "Meanwhile, the media has spent so much time focusing on Liz Cheney getting booted from leadership not because it’s worth a weeks-long news cycle but because it advances the narrative that the GOP is too extreme, too pro-Trump to continue existing and that a Republican civil war is coming. None of this is true, mind you. The GOP appears to be moving steadily toward the middle, and while Trump is somewhat a factor in terms of what politicians are saying, they are quietly starting to move away and focus on the future.

"But God forbid we let Trump out of any news cycle even for a minute because that will inevitably lead to a ratings drop (as opposed to the ratings drop we’re seeing now?).

"The right is not immune to this, mind you. Fox News is very narrative-driven, and Newsmax and OANN more so. They have a clear agenda, but because they are of the right, the rest of the left-leaning media is hellbent on attacking them in order to make them look like the bad, dishonest news organizations. They want to pretend they have sterling records while the right-of-center outlets are corrupt and evil, but they themselves are mired in the perversion of what journalism is supposed to be.

"There is no reason to trust any of them anymore." . . .

The Media Hates You And Is Shocked That You Hate It Back

  They cover up Democrat perfidy and invent Republican scandals. They try to police our language. They condescend to us. They dox innocent citizens. They lie all the time. They carry water for liberal leakers. They try to get our own (real) reporters, like Townhall’s Julio Rosas, killed for refusing to follow the narrative.
