Kamala Harris’s ‘Real Men’ Ad is Nothing But Cringe and Desperation

Sorry, but Kamala is no Margaret Thatcher nor a Tulsi Gabbard and that is why she will not get my vote. Has it not dawned on Democrats that most men are not afraid of women; just this woman? And...Hillary! 

 Legal Insurrection  "A new Kamala Harris ad features men who are supposedly “man enough” to vote for her.

"Because, of course, every man who doesn’t vote for Harris hates women! Duh. It has absolutely nothing to do with her incompetence, attitude, and not telling us how she’ll be different from Biden.

"They all declare they’re “a man” before telling us why. Here are a few snippets. I’m laughing so hard. Like snort laughing.

  • “I’m man enough to enjoy a barrel proof bourbon.”
  • “I’m man enough to deadlift 500 then braid my daughter’s hair.”
  • “You think I’m afraid to rebuild a carburetor? I eat carburetors for breakfast.”
  • “I’ll tell you another thing. I sure am not afraid of women.”
  • “Man enough to know what kind of donuts I like.”
  • “Man enough to admit I’m lost, even when I refuse, to ask for directions.”
  • “Man enough to ban young women from reading.”
  • “I’m man enough to be emotional in front of my wife, in front of my kids, in front of my horse.”
  • I’m man enough to tell you that I cry at love, actually, Goodwill Hunting, West Side Story.”  
  • On the subject of Kamala ads:  “I’m speaking!” Kamala wants to be the one to interrupt


    "If you paid any attention to Kamala Harris during her brief time in the US Senate, you know interrupting others is the only weapon in Kamala’s rhetorical arsenal.

    "She did it all the time in Senate hearings.

    "She’d couch a question in a longwinded lecture. That way, if the witness attempted to answer the question, she could angrily deride him for daring to interrupt her longwinded, completely unnecessary lecture.

    "Kamala deployed her “I’m speaking!” rhetorical device to showboat in Senate hearings hoping to generate a viral moment that would get airtime on cable news and attention on social media.

    "The questions Kamala asked were immaterial. She didn’t want an answer. She wanted a viral moment that showed her berating a witness for daring to interrupt her scripted speech." . . .

    Obama’s Joke About Trump Wearing Adult Diapers Backfires as Voters Point Out Ironic Detail

     RTM  

    "One social media user expressed dismay, stating, “Sad that a lot of adults do have to wear and change their own diapers. Really sad that Obama would stoop that low.' ” (cue the member of "The View" who will call me racist for that)


    "President Barack Obama’s attempt at humor during a campaign event for Vice President Kamala Harris has ignited a firestorm of criticism

    "Speaking at the University of Pittsburgh on Thursday night, Obama’s comments about his successor, Donald Trump, have drawn sharp rebukes from across the political spectrum.

    "The 63-year-old Obama, addressing a crowd of enthusiastic supporters, ventured into controversial territory when he broached the subject of diapers. 

    "Recalling his own experiences as a new parent, Obama posed a provocative question to the audience: “Do you think Donald Trump ever changed a diaper?”

    "The crowd’s response was swift and audacious, with one attendee shouting, “His own!”

    "Obama, seemingly caught off guard, admitted he had considered making a similar remark but ultimately decided against it."  [But he's happy that others did that very thing.] 

    Others accused the former president of being out of touch with the concerns of everyday Americans. “Obama is out of touch with the American people. Their interest is the cost of living,” another user commented, highlighting the disconnect between Democrats’ political rhetoric and pressing economic issues.

    The Virtue Of ‘Price Gouging’

     I & I Editorial Board

    “When either supply or demand changes, prices change. When the law prevents this … that reduces the flow of resources to where they would be most in demand.” — Thomas Sowell


    "Government officials waste no time threatening to crack down on “price gouging” during catastrophic events. Because they care. But of course they don’t. If they did, they’d let the market take care of pricing. Instead, they’ll deny storm victims the necessities they need to get through the disaster.

    "Vice President Kamala Harris has warned merchants and entrepreneurs that Big Brother Columbia is “monitoring” stricken areas “for allegations of fraud and price gouging and will hold those taking advantage of the situation accountable.” Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina M. Khan says “no American should have to worry about paying grossly inflated prices when fleeing a hurricane,” and promises that “in partnership with state enforcers, the FTC will keep fighting to ensure that Americans can get the relief they need without being ripped off by bad actors exploiting a crisis.”

    "Their rhetoric is meant to reassure. They are proud of themselves. And quite willing to claim scalps, even if means victims are unable to obtain the goods they desperately need. We refer again to the story of John Shepperson, which we have covered before:

    In 2005, Shepperson, bought 19 generators at $500 each, loaded them on a rental truck, took time off from work, and drove 600 miles from his home in Kentucky to Mississippi, where the victims of Hurricane Katrina were in urgent need of electricity. According to economist Mark J. Perry, ‘John offered to sell his generators at twice the price he paid, to help cover his costs and make a profit.’ But rather than allow Shepperson to provide an in-demand product to willing buyers, the government arrested him. Shepperson was held for four days.

    Meanwhile, the generators were seized by the government, says Perry, and ‘never made it to consumers with urgent needs who desperately wanted to buy them.’

    "This was an unconscionable act by officials. They’d rather enforce their counterproductive laws than to allow the unfettered commerce that benefits all the involved parties.

    "Yes, it might seem on the surface that jacking up prices during an emergency is unethical. Yet it can be the best way to deal with a crisis. High prices not only discourage hoarders, they also send suppliers an important signal: They need to rush more goods into production and increase their shipments into the disaster zone. It’s basic economics. Buyers might grumble about the costs, but at least they can get what they need." . . .

    Jobs available at Hezbollah

     Praise God that Israelis are more intelligent than the American left! TD


    Babylon Bee took note with this gem of an article:    


    "Young Hezbollah recruit Muhammed Amin was surprised to learn this week that he's already been promoted to the position of Regional Manager.

    "Amin recently joined the ranks of the prestigious terror organization and expected to spend the next several years proving himself before rising through the ranks but was given the unexpected news that he was now in an important leadership role.

    " 'I can't believe I'm moving up the ladder so quickly!" Amin said. "I was only recruited last week and all of a sudden they're telling me I am a manager — and not just manager, but regional manager! I can't believe my luck!"

    "Amin was immediately given a pager and told to check it for explosives, a directive that worried the young man but he decided not to ask too many questions.

    " 'It's just so exciting!" he continued. "They said I would be given a free pager and a set of walkie-talkies but that I was to be super careful and not use them too often and something about imminent bodily harm, but I'm sure it's all just boilerplate corporate orientation stuff. I only wish my mentor could see me, but he exploded last week in what I'm sure is a totally unrelated incident."

    "At publishing time, Amin's supervisor had been killed in an exploding Gameboy Advance incident and Amin had been promoted to the head of Hezbollah."

    "Among her many inadequacies, Mr. DeLuz notes that Kamala was the most left-leaning member of the Senate, all the while achieving the following – nothing. " Noel S. Williams

    "Harris appears unlikely to diverge significantly from Biden's approach to conflicts around the globe"  

    . . .“The Israeli government must do more to significantly increase the flow of aid,” she said. “No excuses. They must open new border crossings. They must not impose any unnecessary restrictions on the delivery of aid.  They must ensure humanitarian personnel, sites, and convoys are not targeted.  And they must work to restore basic services and promote order in Gaza so more food, water, and fuel can reach those in need.”

    It’s also notable that Harris doesn’t have the decadeslong relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Biden has. She won’t attend his public address to Congress on Wednesday, although she reportedly has plans to meet with him later in the week. 

    Philip Gordon, Harris’ national security adviser, would likely play a major role in her administration’s foreign policy apparatus. Gordon previously served as a Middle East adviser to former President Barack Obama and helped negotiate the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. " . . .

    Does China Prefer Harris or Trump? | Foreign Affairs    "Why Chinese Strategists See Little Difference Between the Two"

    Kamala Harris is good for nothing  . . ."A popular idiom is that nature abhors a vacuum.  But Putin and Xi are opportunists who love it as they seek a new world order.  They will swamp Kamala’s nothingness with hard-core hegemonic Realpolitik.   As desperate and dire as the political rally hyperbole may seem, Trump may actually be right in claiming he’ll prevent WWIII.  Under Kamala’s indiscreet indecisions, and appalling appeasement of antagonistic adversaries, the world itself could become nothing.

    "It’s astonishing that an empty skirt with an empty skull is a serious presidential challenger.  She’s unserious.  She’ll say anything, but mean nothing." . . .

    Catherine Herridge Spills the Tea on CBS Over Kamala Interview Editing Scandal

     Nick Arama 

     Remember Kamala’s word salad answer about Israel on 60 Minutes? It’s gone.

    "Kamala Harris was hoping to move the needle with her media tour. 

    "She may have moved the needle alright, but in the wrong direction for her. She seems to be completely imploding along with her knuckle-headed running mate, Tim Walz. Interviews with friendly outlets are supposed to help prop you up. But her interview with "The View" just decimated her and her interview with "60 Minutes" has evolved into a full-blown scandal. 

    "Bill Whitaker actually did a good job of asking some probing questions, and Kamala gave some ridiculous answers, including one incredible word salad about Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. They released a clip on it early, but then when they did the whole interview on Monday, the answer had changed and been edited. 

     "Remember Kamala’s word salad answer about Israel on 60 Minutes? It’s gone.

    "The Harris campaign is trying to run away from the scandal. "We do not control CBS's production decisions and refer questions to CBS," a Harris campaign aide told Fox. Uh-huh. Did they ask to have any parts aired or not aired? Notice their response simply says they don't "control" the production decisions. 

    "CBS isn't talking, so that's not looking good for them. 

    "The Trump campaign is demanding the release of the full transcript, understandably.". . .

    The original answer aired by CBS added to the criticism that Harris is an empty pantsuit only capable of trying to sound like she knows what she’s talking about through a word salad of dumb.

    Robert Gates Thinks Joe Biden Hasn't Stopped Being Wrong for 40 Years

     The Atlantic; (yahoo.com) January 7, 2014

    "I think he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades,” former Defense Secretary Robert Gates says of Vice President Joe Biden in his new book coming out later this month. Gates' assessment of Biden's boss is only slightly better, depicting an Obama administration with very murky lines of communication on military issues.

    "Gates, as The New York Times notes in its review of Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War, served under every president since Nixon, save Bill Clinton. When President Obama took office in 2009, he (somewhat controversially) decided that Gates would stay as defense secretary, a position to which he was appointed by George W. Bush in 2006. (At that confirmation hearing, Gates reportedly thought to himself, "What the hell am I doing here? I have walked right into the middle of a category-five shitstorm.")

    "According to the Times review and one in The Washington Post, Gates wasn't particularly happy with either president. "In Duty," Bob Woodward writes for the Post, "Gates describes his outwardly calm demeanor as a facade. Underneath, he writes, he was frequently 'seething' and 'running out of patience on multiple fronts.'"

    "Gates apparently raises direct questions about Obama's handling of the war he inherited. The former secretary was concerned, Woodward writes, at both the Obama administration's tight grip on military policy as well as its insecurity about what it should do. The Times indicates that Gates faulted the Bush administration for its handling of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan (before Gates arrived) and was consistently frustrated by his exchanges with Obama's advisors, especially Biden." . . .

    Hezbollah begging for mercy proves Israel is right to fight —and shrug off Biden’s terrible advice

    NY Post Editorial Board   

    If Qassem is suing for peace, it’s at least in part because he knows he’s next. As do all other Hezbollah honchos.  

    "Lebanese terror outfit Hezbollah has changed its tune: After spending weeks trumpeting an apocalyptic end for Israel, the cadre of bloodthirsty cowards is begging the Jewish state to let up. 

    "“We support the political efforts led by [Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih] Berri under the banner of achieving a cease-fire,” whined Hezbollah deputy leader Naim Qassem — for the first time not conditioning a truce on an end to the war in Gaza. 

    "Turns out bravely attacking your enemies with uncanny precision and skill, rather than begging them for peace, [as with Obama, Biden and most Democrats] is effective as a military strategy.

    "Who knew?

    "Israel’s amazing actions in the past month explain why Qassem is shaking in his boots." . . .

    . . . The second is that Iran can be cowed and constrained. Not through giving in to the regime’s demands, but by standing firm against them. 

    "Don’t hold your breath waiting for Joe, Kamala and their Iran-worshiping inner circle to understand, though."

    IE: Oranges,Lemons Grapefruits,avocados etc..actually "Jaffa" Oranges and "Ugly" Grapefruit/orange, some of the best. The Israelis said use these greenhouses as you wish..but instead they where destroyed by Hamas..and the people accepted it..that is what the world is dealing with..makes no sense

    DEMOCRATS’ THIRD WORLD REASONING

     Ann Coulter 

    "The cause-and-effect logic of the cultures currently colonizing America is remarkably similar to Walz’s reasoning. It’s probably not a coincidence that he’s a major proponent of importing gigantic numbers of Somalis, Ethiopians and Indians to Minnesota. If you think Minnesota schools are prosperous now, just wait." . . .


    "Watching the vice-presidential debate last week, I realized that Gov. Tim Walz has a primitive’s understanding of cause-and-effect. It pairs nicely with his primitive’s understanding of representative democracy, economics, science, national security, deductive reasoning and the Electoral College.
    "As our country becomes more DEI-oriented (the heart and soul of the Democratic Party), we can expect to see a lot more problems with causal reasoning — not to be confused with casual reasoning, which seems to be Kamala Harris’ method of thinking. The “diverse” cultures the Democratic Party is hauling in are notoriously poor at grasping causality.
    "Thus, for example, in Africa, AIDS-infected men firmly believe that sex with a virgin cures AIDS, because witch doctors told them so. (Duh.) Like communism and recycling, the virgin rape plan has never actually worked. But despite that, and despite massive international education campaigns, the locals persist in seeking this “cure” even today, raping toddlers, their own daughters and babies in diapers — as documented in innumerable official reports.
    "Our completely harmless trading partners, the Chinese — also big “traditional medicine” devotees — believe that ingesting tiger penis is a cure for impotence. (The good news is, if you’re a man in Africa suffering from both AIDS and erectile dysfunction, have we gotta deal for you!)
    "The fanatical hunt for tiger penis to serve the Chinese market has put tigers on the endangered species list and already driven 3 of 8 tiger subspecies to extinction. Tiger poachers in India have slaughtered so many tigers that the population has cratered from 100,000 in the early 20th century to about 3,300 today. In China itself, the tiger population totals around 50. Not 50,000. Fifty.
    "At this point, conservationists think the only thing that might save the tiger from total extinction is the introduction of Viagra, because, unlike tiger penis soup, it actually works. (Which is awesome because if there’s one hellish tomorrow even I can’t imagine, it’s a world in which the population of China is declining even a teeny, tiny bit due to a national E.D. epidemic.)
    "Just last week, it was reported that administrators of a school in India sacrificed (murdered) an 11-year-old boy to make the school “prosperous,” in accordance with a Hindu Tantric ritual. To be fair, the results aren’t in yet. I think they’re waiting until the end of the school year to publish a final fiscal report. Fingers crossed!" . . .

    This is the man Biden and the liberal press want to eliminate:  Trump Gives Fired Air Force Man a Job

    Previously Unchallenged, Harris Had to Answer to 60 Minutes; Across America, eyeballs rolled.

     Debra J. Saunders  

    When Whitaker asked Harris why she completely flipped her positions on the border, fracking, and Medicare for All, Harris responded that she has spent the past four years going across the country and talking to people from various backgrounds, so she came to value compromise. Short, truer version: “We’re not just in California anymore.” 

    " Asking Kamala Harris about the historic surge at the southern border during most of President Joe Biden’s tenure, 60 Minutes anchor Bill Whitaker wondered if it was “a mistake to loosen the immigration policies as you did.”

    "Harris has this way of talking when she knows she can’t say what she really thinks. So when Whitaker remarked that border arrivals quadrupled during the first three years of the Biden–Harris administration, she responded, “Solutions are at hand. From day one literally we have been offering solutions.”

    "And: “The policies that we have been proposing are about fixing a problem, not promoting a problem.” Short word salads with no nutritional value.

    "If you were hoping for the vice president to admit that Biden’s border policies were a colossal blunder during the CBS interview, which was televised Monday night, well, your best move would have been to change the channel.

    "When Harris tried to blame Republicans for failing to pass a big immigration package, Whitaker pointed out that Biden invited a “historic flood” of migrants when he took office.

    "For once, a major journalist pushed back on Harris’ lame finger-pointing. I exhaled.

    "60 Minutes made a big deal about Trump turning down its interview request. Be it noted, Harris turned down an invitation to a Fox News sit-down. But I guess that’s different.

    "My one big beef: There is no question Harris knew about Biden’s declining cognitive abilities before he halted his reelection campaign. It becomes ever more important that Harris is asked about this because Biden is supposed to occupy the Oval Office until Jan. 20.

    "At one point, Harris reminded Whitaker: “This is an election for president of the United States.” Then she added, “No one should be able to take for granted that they can just declare themselves a candidate and automatically receive support.”

    "It was an odd statement coming from a Democrat who was handed the top of her party’s ticket without a single ballot cast." . . .
