Kamala Harris Will Be Burdened By What
Has Been
Posted By: RockyTCB, 7/22/2024 8:31:57 AM
On YouTube, there is a four-minute video that is nothing but Vice President Kamala Harris repeating this empty phrase: “What can be, unburdened by what has been.” But no matter how many times she utters this idiotic mantra, Harris will, in fact, be heavily burdened by the disaster that has been the Biden administration. Burdened by her own dismal record as vice president. And burdened by the fact that she is so uniquely unqualified to be leader of the free world. To say Harris is an empty pantsuit is an insult to empty pantsuits. As we put it in an editorial a year ago:

Silent Majority: Poll Finds Independents

Are Far More Conservative Than They're
Willing To Admit 1 reply
If conservatives want to win elections, they don’t need to rile up the base, they need to convince independents to say in public what they believe in private – that they agree with conservatives on most issues and that Democrats are the wildly out-of-touch extremists.
That, at least, is one way to read a fascinating new survey from Populace, a non-partisan think tank in Massachusetts, which figured out a way to discern what 20,000 Americans think privately and compare that to what they are willing to say publicly.
It turns out that there are often wide gaps between the two, which Populace calls the “Social Pressure Index.”
The Democrats’ Joy Of Hating America

The London Telegraph reports that the Labour Party intentionally “threw open Britain’s borders to mass immigration to help socially engineer a ‘truly multicultural’ country.” Obviously, Labour feels the British culture is inferior and must be eradicated. America’s Democrats are no different. They hate their country so much they want to fundamentally transform it.
George Orwell captured the burgeoning self-hatred among the British smart set when he wrote in a 1941 essay:
England is perhaps the only great country whose intellectuals
are ashamed of their own nationality. In left-wing circles
After being beaten over the head for months by Democrats about “Project 2025” – about which the left has mounted an unprecedented disinformation campaign – Donald Trump has finally figured out how to respond. And it’s a doozy.
Up until now, all Trump would say about Project 2025 is that he didn’t know anything about it. That left the door open for Democrats to say whatever they wanted about that effort and claim it’s a Trump plan.
Project 2025 was never a Trump plan. The book Democrats keep parading around is called “Mandate for Leadership,” which the conservative Heritage Foundation has published every four years since 1980.
In a long, arduous career in PR, this commentator approached one task with all the enthusiasm of cleaning latrines for ten battalions. Interacting with the media.
Why? Because real reporters’ obsession is gettin’ ya in a “gotcha.” Pushing, prodding, twisting words out of context, and generally making nuisances of themselves. Especially hard-bitten, cynical, and largely antagonistic business journalists.
Ah, that word. Journalist. A concept sorely lacking in the “interview” of Kamala Harris by MSNBC/NBC’s Stephanie Ruhle.
If you want an idea of just how inept Kamala Harris has been as vice president, measure her against former Vice President Dan Quayle – the guy that the left universally berated as a pampered half-wit.
That characterization of Quayle was completely unfair. But when it comes to Harris, well, you be the judge.
Quayle’s approval ratings were, like Harris’, in the basement when he was VP. There was constant chatter among Republicans that George H.W. Bush should dump him. Few thought he was qualified to be president. Both he and Harris had privileged backgrounds and got a start on their careers more through connections than talent.
But the similarities end there.
Does the United States of America have a functioning president right now? That question isn’t meant to be provocative. Members of both major parties have noted that President Joe Biden seems to have gone AWOL from his official duties as the nation’s executive in chief. A large chunk of voters agree, saying they want Biden to leave office right away.
In August’s I&I/TIPP Poll of 1,488 registered voters, taken from July 31-Aug. 2, shortly after the Democratic Party forced Biden to step down as his party’s candidate, we asked voters the following question: “Which of the following do you believe is in the best interest of the country?” \
The EV Graveyard

Last week, the House approved a resolution to block the Biden administration’s emissions rule that would require more than half of the automobiles sold in the new-car market to be electric by 2032. The 215 representatives who voted for the bill, including eight Democrats, are far more in tune with most of the country than the White House. The “deplorables” and “bitter” clingers of the industrialized world are rejecting electric vehicles.
Nationwide, the inventory of unsold EVs had grown by nearly 350% over the first half of 2024, creating “a 92-day supply — roughly three months’ worth of EVs, and nearly twice the industry average,” says Axios,
For families struggling to make ends meet, Kamala Harris claims she has a plan to lower energy costs. What she will deliver is more pain. Just ask anyone paying energy bills in a state her party controls.
On Harris’ campaign website, she pays lip service to reducing energy costs, but then rattles off a long list of plans to tackle the “climate crisis.”
We already know you can’t have one with the other.
At a congressional hearing last week, members of the House Budget Committee heard from witnesses about how Biden-Harris policies have fueled today’s energy crisis.
Trump Didn’t Start The Fire

For the second time in as many months, an assassin targeted Donald Trump, and the left blamed … Donald Trump. It’s his violent rhetoric, you see, that is poisoning the body politic and causing everyone to go crazy. Or something like that.
Never mind that the second would-be assassin, Ryan Routh, had written a book in which he called on Iran to assassinate Trump, gave money to Democrats, and posted on X in April using the exact same language Democrats have been pushing for years – “DEMOCRACY is on the ballot and we cannot lose. We cannot afford to fail. The world is counting on us to show the way.”

Much of the noise coming from the debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris last week had to do with a media-driven narrative that Harris “won.” Maybe so. In initial polls after the debate, Harris padded her lead. But will the debate win be enough for the Democrats’ own rank-and-file voters, who believe the party used an undemocratic method to select its nominee?
September’s I&I/TIPP Poll suggests the answer is yes. Start with the fact that the Real Clear Politics polling average puts Harris up just 1.7 percentage points nationally, and a sliver-thin 0.2 percentage points in key battleground states.
"President Trump, as you know, the FBI says overall violent crime is coming down in this country.”
That was ABC News’ David Muir “fact checking” Donald Trump during his debate with Kamala Harris.
Two days later, the Bureau of Justice Statistics released the results of its national crime victimization survey, which showed that the number of victims of violent crime was 41% higher in 2023 than in 2020.
There were almost 170,000 more rapes, 300,000 more robberies, 1.4 million more assaults, 300,000 more claims of domestic violence, and almost 400,000 more crimes with a violent weapon.
When Kamala Actually Said Something

Presidential candidate Kamala Harris sat down for an interview late last week. It was the equivalent of a Friday news dump, done when most of the country was to busy otherwise to pay attention. But it did serve a purpose: Her campaign can say she’s done a solo interview, even if she, as is her practice, said nothing of substance.
The interview was with Brian Taff, news anchor at ABC’s Philadelphia affiliate. He asked five questions and the exclusive affair lasted all of 11 minutes.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton criticized former President Donald Trump and stressed her purported innocence in an interview with Margaret Hoover of PBS’ “Firing Line” on Friday.
Clinton echoed sentiments that Trump poses a threat to democracy and mocked him for directing his administration to investigate her only to not file any criminal charges. While the Trump administration never formally accused Clinton of breaking the law, Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey in July 2016 said that Clinton had stored 110 emails containing classified information on a private email server, with eight email chains containing top secret information.

As Donald Trump railed against immigrants Saturday afternoon in the Rust Belt, his supporters in the Deep South had turned his earlier broadsides into a rallying cry over a college football game as they prepared for the former president’s visit later in the evening.
“You gotta get these people back where they came from,” Trump said in Wisconsin, as the Republican presidential nominee again focused on Springfield, Ohio, which has been roiled by false claims he amplified that Haitian immigrants are stealing and “eating the dogs ... eating the cats” from neighbors’ homes.
During the Sustainable Development Impact Meeting held by the World Economic Forum (WEF), John Kerry brazenly admitted that first amendment is a threat to government power.
During the discussion, Kerry stated that free speech, particularly on social media, threatens ‘democracies’ by inhibiting the government’s ability to manufacture a consensus through the control of information.
”…I think the dislike like of and anguish over social media is just growing and growing and growing, and that’s part of our problem particularly in democracies — in terms of building consensus around any issue, its really hard to govern today.”
A new poll shows that Taylor Swift’s popularity has dropped overall among voters following her endorsement of Kamala Harris this month.
Taylor Swift’s overall favorability among all registered voters fell from last year, decreasing from 40 percent in 2023 to 33 percent this year, according to an NBC News poll released Friday. While 16 percent had negative feelings about her in 2023, 27 percent say they do now.
About 26 percent of independents have a positive attitude toward Swift, a drop from 34 percent in 2023.
The NBC News poll is the latest survey to show that Swift’s endorsement hasn’t had the impact Democrats were hoping for.

WASHINGTON − Former President Donald Trump continued to ramp up attacks against Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday, again falsely describing her and President Joe Biden as "mentally disabled."
Biden "became mentally impaired, sad. But lyin' Kamala Harris? Honestly, I believe she was born that way," Trump said in a rally in Erie, Pennsylvania. "There's something wrong with Kamala."
Trump used similar rhetoric Saturday during a speech in Wisconsin, and he's frequently called Harris "stupid," "weak" and "dumb as a rock" on the campaign trail. Trump has also repeatedly criticized Harris' racial identity, falsely saying she "turned Black."

Israel has taken the gloves off and sent in the exterminators, and the rats are running for cover. One of the rats is Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has reportedly been moved to a "secure location" within Iran: One wonders if the Ayatollah took his pager with him to the "secure location." As for the "proud Hezbollah," that organization was just decapitated with the death of Hassan Nasrallah, only days after some of the most interesting operations in recent history, which operations included exploding electronics:
The Department of Justice on Friday sued Alabama and its top election official for violating the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 because the state made an effort to clean its voter rolls too close to Election Day.
In mid-August, Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen had identified 3,251 individuals registered to vote in the state who were given noncitizen identification numbers by the Department of Homeland Security and had instructed the boards of registrars in the state's 67 counties to inactivate and remove them from the voter rolls, a move that has reportedly "ensnared newly naturalized Americans."

Former (and increasingly likely, next) First Lady Melania Trump watched live as an assassin's bullet came within less than an inch of tearing into her husband's brain. Next, she got the chilling news that just eight weeks later, an assassin was lying in wait for her husband as he played a round of golf. Next, she got the news that there are potentially more assassination teams in our nation hunting her husband. And yet, with all of that, it's not the least bit surprising to learn that far-left, self-absorbed, entitled,
Only a fool could be blind to the fact that the Pentagon way of war, three decades into the 21st century and a world away from the United States’ last conclusive victory, means death for all who pursue it.
If Washington and the Europeans are appalled by Israel’s campaign over the last two weeks, it’s because the Israelis have resurfaced the ugly truth that no modish theories of war, international organizations, or even American presidents could long obscure. Wars are won by killing the enemy,
Kamala's Attempted Troll of Trump at Alabama

Game Fails Miserably, While Trump Is Cheered Wildly 18 replies
Kamala Harris told the media she was going to try to troll former President Donald Trump at the Alabama-Georgia game on Saturday.
But the effort failed miserably and just showed how desperate she was.
Her campaign told the media that they were going to have a small plane fly over Tuscaloosa during the game at Bryant-Denny Stadium with a banner that said, “Trump’s Punting on 2nd Debate.” Except it didn't come off; it was a complete failure. It was nowhere to be seen during the game.
According to the New York Times, they were told by the Harris campaign that they couldn't do it because
Tech and car companies are ditching touch screens and bringing back physical buttons to their products.
Despite a surge of touch screens being incorporated into devices for years, some of the world's biggest tech companies are going back to basics.
Many that converted to the touch screen may have had their transformation perceived as their assimilation into modern technology. Experts, however, have hinted the embrace of touch screens was more cost related than any other factor.
I’ve had a lot of jobs. No, seriously, A LOT of jobs. More than 80. I’ve done everything you can imagine, from roofing to being a busboy, from making sandwiches in a deli in an office building to being a press secretary in the United States Senate. I was even a “Merry Maid” for an hour – I filled out the paperwork, watched the training video, realized it was not for me, told the supervisor, and walked out. There isn’t much I haven’t done, and much I did for a very short time (I had an attitude when I was younger). I’ve quit, been fired, and stopped showing up.
