It took Vice President Kamala Harris less than two full days after President Biden dropped out of the presidential race to lock in enough delegates to become the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. But now the Democratic presidential ticket needs a vice presidential candidate with just weeks before delegates must formally vote for the nominations and just over one hundred days until the election. The names of a number of top Democratic governors, lawmakers and other party leaders have all been floated as potential running mates.

I would say good luck finding someone dumber than the VPs Obama and Biden picked, but Jamaal Bowman will soon be unemployed and available.

To save your having to click: ...Harris has requested materials from multiple potential candidates including Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Illinois Gov governor J.B. Pritzker and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday. Noticeably absent from the list were several other prominent names that have been thrown out there over the past 32 hours including Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg...

The article states that Kamala took less than 2 full days to get support for her candidacy. When Alec Soros endorsed her his money kicked in and the endorsements came in. Kamala had nothing to do with it. She couldn't find her butt with both hands and a flashlight.

There is a very enlightening article well worth reading written by Major General Higginbotham (US Marine Ret.) highlighting significant details about “The History of Kamala Harris” that begins with identifying her father as “an avowed Marxist professor in the Economics Department at Stanford University” and both parents being active “in the Berkeley based Afro-American Association; Fidel Castro and Che Guevara were the heroes of the Afro-American Association.” The article details her career following graduation from college to her current status of possibly being a “heartbeat away from being President.” General Higginbotham sums up the serious concerns this country faces with her background over 35 years. https://radiopatriot.net/2024/07/23/kamalas-background-more-than-you-knew/ “Kamala’s background – more than you knew”

Josh Shapiro is Jewish and supports Israel ~ at least for now. I'm surprised he's made the VP list since his party is so antisemitic and they must pander for the Muslim vote. I sincerely hope he's not chosen to be on the ticket. IMO he gives off a smarmy vibe. Of course I may be the only one to feel that way.

As a woman who has worked in male dominated professions, my observation about Kamala is that she is not a leader and is not a decision maker. She is a follower and a useful tool. Note that her profession is as a lawyer. Lawyers do not make decisions; they follow - after the client, the judge, the jury, the courts make all the big decisions. Note that even as VP, she had a duty to make a decision and act under the 25th Amendment once she knew that Biden was not capable of performing presidential duties, but she did not. It is doubtful that she makes many decisions in her own household, those are probably made by her husband. She is childless, so has not had to make decisions about kids. Her husband's ex -wife has made those decisions. She did not make the decision about Joe Biden's re-election campaign, Obama, Axelrod, Schumer, Alex Soros, and George Clooney did that. Now that she is a candidate, she must have a male VP, a governor who has had to make decisions and act on his own. A woman VP will NOT work. Kamala will not be able to handle another woman making decisions. Her staff turn-over is indication of this. She has already shown herself to be unworthy of being president. That is why the Dems are trying to prop her up with a male VP.

Pete Buttigieg? PETE BUTTIGIEG??? Really? I saw a short interview with him recently about the problems Delta was still having due to the IT outage. The interviewer and news anchor kept referring to him as Secretary Pete....How grown up and professional is that? If Harris chooses him, will they call him V-Pee Pete? Holy Cow!

The Dems don't expect Kamala to win, they are just letting her take the fall when Trump wins. She is shallow, and avoids the tough issues. It was easier to keep her on the ticket to avoid a civil war within the party. Whomever runs with her will crash and burn along side her, and his career will be over.

As FBI director Chris Wray performed his usual smarmy stonewalling in Congress Wednesday, a damning report on his $10 billion agency’s “cult of narcissism” was delivered to the House Judiciary Committee by an alliance of retired and active-duty agents and analysts. The same group gave us the scathing DEI report last year about the FBI’s degraded recruitment standards and cosseting of physically unfit, mentally ill, drug-taking or generally useless agents to satisfy diversity requirements at the expense of merit and experience. This time they have assessed the entire bureau and drawn several worrying conclusions, including that local law-enforcement partners have developed a “disturbing loss of trust in the FBI”

Former president Barack Obama hasn’t endorsed Kamala Harris’ presidential bid because he doesn’t think she can beat Donald Trump, according to a source close to the Biden family. Following Joe Biden’s shock resignation from the race on Sunday, and his immediate endorsement of the vice president, most of the Democratic elite have been quick to rally behind Harris — but Obama is a notable exception. “Obama’s very upset because he knows she can’t win,” the Biden family source told The Post. “Obama knows she’s just incompetent — the border czar who never visited the border, saying that all migrants should have health insurance. She cannot navigate the landmines that are ahead of her.”

President Donald Trump, the Republican candidate for US president, was nearly assassinated on July 13, 2024, at his political rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. President Trump was saved when he tilted his head at the last minute and was hit by a bullet in the ear and did not take a bullet to the skull. Many believe God protected our president that day. After 11 days the US government is still not being truthful with the American public. Several details are still emerging and several narratives have been debunked by facts on the ground.

Immediately in the wake of the announcement at the Republican National Convention that JD Vance is Donald Trump’s pick for running mate, the leftist media predictably launched a fear-mongering campaign to demonize the young populist. The politics of personal destruction – it’s their go-to strategy, rather than addressing the issues. And one of the first scary red flags they warned about is the influence on the future Vice President of Lord of the Rings author JRR Tolkien. On Tuesday, MSNBC mainstay propagandist Rachel Maddow suggested that Vance and “his mentor,” venture capitalist Peter Thiel, were both inspired by “alt-right” and “Aryan” messaging in Tolkien’s vastly popular fantasy epic.

Years ago, Mr. Biden called himself a transitional candidate, and listed Vice President Kamala Harris among the younger generation of leaders he saw as the future of the Democratic Party. Now is the time to make way for those newer, younger voices, he said, like that of Harris, whom he has endorsed for the nomination.
