Can Democrats Solve Their 'Kamala Harris Problem'?

Original Article

Posted By: Moritz55, 2/14/2023 11:10:08 AM

Kamala Harris is a living embodiment of the Peter Principle, where people keep getting promoted until they reach jobs for which they are clearly unqualified. More and more Americans think that describes our current vice president. Harris is deeply unpopular with independents, who are essential for electoral success (fewer than one in three voters view her favorably), and she is losing popularity among Democratic Party leaders. They see her ineptitude, listen to her word salads, and watch the polls with dismay. The latest evidence of Harris’ fading position is a sharply critical article in the New York Times, of all places, filled with anonymous disapproval from senior Democrats

Also an embodiment of another failure, name of the syndrome is unknown. In this, incompetents hire the truly incompetents, and are unable to groom them to even do the jobs they are hired to do.

One of our biggest problems we face as a nation is our media. Very few of them fully embrace the truth. This article doesn't even come close to how bad things have become under the present administration. And to think K.H. could become President is quite frightening to say the least.

With apologies to Rodgers and Hammerstein: How do you solve a problem like Kamala? How do you catch a cloud and pin it down? How do you find a word that means Kamala? A flibbertijibbet! A will-o'-the wisp! A clown! Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her Many a thing she ought to understand But how do you make her stay And listen to all you say How do you keep a wave upon the sand Oh, how do you solve a problem like Kamala? How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?

Kamala was past her level of competence once she left Willie Brown's office for the day....and probably before she was admitted to law school.

Second sentence of first para should read: More and more Americans think that describes our current president and vice president. Neither Biden nor the Hyena are qualified for their current positions, just as neither of them was qualified to be a US Senator. Unfortunately, when voters put Party before common sense and ballot stuffers put Dems before integrity, these two pathetic people are what we get.

Ms. Word Salad Annie hasn't even measured up to the Peter Principle. I can't believe Harris is/was an attorney at all just like fraud Joe Biden I don't think the vegetable was ever educated. Both of those fakes would be a problem but look at the useless dummies they surround themselves with you'll understand.

Those who are actually running the show have puppet Biden as a front, Kamala isn't really a problem for them. Bill O'Reilly said Klein quit as chief of staff mainly because he was sidelined and Susan Rice was running things. Obama has his own office in the White House, he lives a few blocks from there, and this is the Obiden administration. Kamala is almost irrelevant.

Election results with or without K.Harris will be depressingly the same. Arizona was just a tune-up for another round of vote stealing. The MSM ignores massive fraud and judges give nodding approval. Biden is pushed drooling in a wheelchair onto the inauguration stand, secret service agents with emergency ice cream cones are just off camera, little girls with blond hair kept at a safe distance.

It seems unlikely that this is a problem that will last until the nomination. Biden needs to find a prestigious offramp for Harris, say the Supreme Court if a seat opens, or ambassador to the United Nations if it does not. That would free him to appoint a replacement, probably Gavin Newsom.

The Peter Principle works specifically like this. 1. Promotion is based on performance and competence. 2. Sooner or later somebody will be promoted beyond their level of competence. Maybe well beyond. 3 They after all those promotions, will be the ones promoting other incompetents.

Of course they can solve their Kamala Harris Problem. Same way they solved their Seth Rich Problem, their Ron Brown Problem, their JFK Problem, etc. And with the proper spin, not only will they solve their problem but place the blame on the Republicans.

Let's see...her dismal rout in the last presidential primaries should have been their first clue. The good news for conservatives...her selection as VP is an indication of how deep (or not) is the democrat bench. I mean, who else you gonna pick? AOC? Pocahontas? Sheila Jackson Lee?

Given the results of the last election, I have changed my mind on the "Kamala" problem. I see no reason to make any changes. Mainly due to ballot harvesting, the voters seem to like the status quo, so the DNC has nothing to worry about.

Forget “America First” for a moment. Put MAGA aside. Any effort to restore American greatness without putting the children first will fail. If there was any doubt that kids suffer when their own needs are subjugated to the fears and desires of adults, the Covid experience should have cast it out. For years, children en masse were put on the bottom of the priority list. Children are falling behind in education and key developmental milestones, mood disorders and loneliness are up, and suicide ideation has risen dramatically (including during the Covid era). Families are more broken and dysfunctional than in previous decades, and nearly 400,000 children are in foster care.

J.K. Rowling is arguably the most successful author in the history of publishing, with the possible exception of God. And “Harry Potter” was a kind of bible for my generation. Since its publication beginning in the late ’90s, the series has taught tens of millions of children about virtues like loyalty, courage, and love—about the inclusion of outsiders and the celebration of difference. The books illustrated the idea of moral complexity, how a person who may at first appear sinister can turn out to be a hero after all. The author herself became part of the legend, too.

The People's Republic of China lobbied criticisms at the United States on Monday over the nation's recent actions to protect its airspace. Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Wang Wenbin spoke to reporters Monday about the multiple aircraft shot down over the U.S. since the destruction of an unmanned Chinese surveillance balloon earlier this month. "We have made it clear time and again that the entry of the Chinese civilian unmanned airship into U.S. airspace was a purely unintended, unexpected and isolated event caused by force majeure," said Wang. However, Wang could not provide any information on whether any of the recently downed aircraft belonged to China

But at the time, the Oct. 19, 2020, story by Natasha Bertrand had its intended bombshell effect with this headline: "Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo, dozens of former intel officials say." Now former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper says Politico "deliberately distorted" the letter he and more than 50 others – many of them open Joe Biden supporters – signed. Critics are wondering why the players in the story are speaking out more than two years later – just as House Republicans are investigating the matter – and why they didn't cry foul

How does Donald Trump vs. Ron DeSantis end? “Not well” is my answer. Such pessimism is based on former President Trump’s recent response when radio host Hugh Hewitt asked him if he would support “whoever” wins the GOP presidential nomination. “It would have to depend on who the nominee was,” Trump replied, prompting Hewitt to change topics. The 45th president’s answer leads one to envision a list of “acceptable” nominees locked in a drawer at Mar-a-Lago. And what if the eventual winner were someone Trump considered disloyal?

With China’s spy balloon crossing the American heartland unmolested and GOP leaders simultaneously starting probes of his family’s corruption, Joe Biden is entering a new phase of his presidency. The worst case scenario is that all his chickens are coming home to roost. The spy balloon’s appearance and that of two additional objects shot down by the military oddly highlight the importance of the House probes. The possibility that Biden has been compromised by profiting from son Hunter’s lucrative foreign entanglements, especially with China, is drawing extra attention to how the president reacts to the Communist regime’s aggressive surveillance.

Hunter Biden’s legal team has been at the center of news coverage this month after it appeared to confirm the authenticity of his laptop in a letter (only to try to backtrack 24 hours later). It was a curious and gratuitous move for Biden and his counsel Abbe Lowell as they called for criminal investigations into his critics, suggested lawsuits against media, and even argued that the tax-exempt status of some groups be rescinded by the IRS. Now, however, the team is moving in a far more precarious direction. They seem to be adopting the strategy of Steve Bannon that resulted in his conviction for contempt of Congress.

Since President Trump left office, many of the “trustworthy” media outlets have created a talking point that is now held by a minority, yet noticeable number of Conservative Americans. The belief is “DeSantis is Trump, without the baggage.” This group supported President Trump’s policies and felt he did a tremendous job as president, but now feel the baggage that came with Trump would not be present with Ron DeSantis. Many have taken this a step further and believe this baggage would give DeSantis (or others) a better chance of winning in a general election against the Democrat nominee than President Trump.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo.  — A group of Catholic women claims they were denied Communion at an Englewood church for wearing rainbow-colored face masks. Sally Odenheimer said it was an effort to show support for Maggie Barton, an LGBTQ teacher fired from the church’s affiliated Catholic school. Barton claims she was fired from All Souls Catholic School in Englewood after the Archdiocese of Denver learned of her same-sex relationship.The Archdiocese said she was fired because she violated her contract, which includes “refraining from taking any public position or conducting himself or herself in a manner that is contrary to the teachings of the Catholic Church.”

U.S. intelligence officials were tracking the spy balloon that was shot down earlier this month since it lifted off from the south coast of China, U.S. officials said Tuesday. According to U.S. officials, after takeoff, the spy balloon drifted east in the direction of Guam and Hawaii and then went north to Alaska and entered U.S. airspace on Jan. 28. Given the path, it's possible that the balloon was blown off course by weather, but U.S. officials said that once it came south over the continental United States, it was being controlled by China. The tracking of the balloon was first reported by The Washington Post. China has insisted

U.S. military and intelligence agencies tracked the Chinese spy balloon for nearly a week before it violated American airspace last month, according to a new report. As the U.S. monitored the balloon, it appeared headed for the U.S. territory of Guam. But the balloon was seemingly blown off course and instead ended up over Alaska’s Aleutian Islands before ultimately floating over the continental United States, the Washington Post reported. U.S. officials are considering the possibility that China did not intend to send the spy balloon over the continental United States, but instead took advantage of the balloon being blown off course to surveil sensitive locations in Montana.

Nowadays it’s rare to go to a restaurant without grabbing your phone for access to a menu or for ordering takeout. Some concert venues actually require guests to show their tickets from their mobile devices.
