Kamala Harris

We greatly enjoyed the news regarding the rollout of the new biography of (Don’t Forget to Call Her Doctor) Jill Biden’s biography by AP reporters Julie Pace and Darlene Superville. What was the news? The sales were dismal. We filed the news under “Signs and omens.” I feel obligated to update that post with Bloomberg’s report that Kamala Harris collected some $450,000 in book royalties during her first year in

Vice President Kamala Harris has offered up fresh profundities, this time on the manner in which we will all “work together,” though there is no reference to the time frame, as in, whether the time to work together is now, or every day, as we have been doing while working together, all the time. You think I’m making this up? See for yourself (only 35 seconds, but it seems much

The Alpha News story by assistant editor Rose Williams flags some of the perceptive work by Ministry of Truth czar Nina Jankowicz. The story embeds the edited video below showing Madam Minitrue declaring stories that Ilhan Omar married her brother and Kamala Harris slept her way to the top forms of “domestic Russian disinformation.” Looking around on online, I take it that the video is edited from Jankowicz’s April 2021

The White House has posted a “Statement by Kamala Harris” on Justice Alito’s leaked draft Dobbs opinion. Here it is in its entirety: The United States Supreme Court has now confirmed that the draft opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade is genuine. Roe ensures a woman’s right to choose to have an abortion. It also, at its root, protects the fundamental right to privacy. What is clear is that

Just when you think Vice President (shudder) Kamala Harris can’t possibly get any more banal and embarrassing, she lets loose with “space is exciting. . . It affects us all and connects us all.” I don’t think the empty space between her ears really does this. I’m starting to wonder if Harris’s speechwriters are part of a secret project to ensure that Biden isn’t removed from office for the obvious

Californians are crazy, but even Californians don’t think much of Kamala Harris. Buried deep in the latest IGS-Berkeley poll (I know the pollster who runs this survey, Mark DiCamillo, and he’s solid) that finds 50 percent of Californians still approve of President Biden’s job performance is this nugget: When voters are asked to assess the job that home state Vice President Kamala Harris is doing, 35% say they approve, 45%

This past Wednesday Kamala Harris welcomed Prime Minister Andrew “not his holiness” Holness of Jamaica to the Vice President’s Ceremonial Office in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. The White House has posted the transcript here and the video on YouTube here. To adapt Jackson Browne’s beautiful song to Harris’s performance, “Jamaica, say you will help me find a way to fill these empty words.” Or perhaps, “Jamaica, say you will

It is increasingly evident that Joe Biden’s most genius political move in 2020, after deciding to “campaign” from his basement to conceal the obvious, was naming Kamala Harris as a running mate. Even Slow Joe could figure out that with Harris a heartbeat away from the presidency, everyone would think three times before trying to remove him from office. That’s the main complication with the analyses of some of our

Vice President Harris meditated on “the significance of the passage of time” four times in less than 30 seconds during her remarks following an event in Louisiana yesterday. Harris was promoting the federal gusher of money to support high-speed Internet access in small town America. To adapt Oscar Wilde’s adage about the death of Little Nell, one must have a heart of stone to listen to Harris’s meditations without cackling.

I have no doubt that time is of major philosophical and human importance, but I draw the line at Vice President Harris attempting her own rendition of Being and Time: One thing I know: Time is moving all too slowly right now, as I look at the calendar and realize we still have more than two years of the Biden-Harris mistake. Is there any way to speed up these slow-moving

Many noted Vice President Harris’s apparent confusion about the status of Ukraine as a member of NATO (or not) in her remarks at the DNC winter meeting last week. It may deserve a place in the work in progress that I call Veep Thoughts by Kamala Harris. I thought it was nothing more than the usual blather.

It’s not a good thing to have a vice president who is a laughingstock, but it could be worse: your president could be a laughingstock. Oh, wait… In these perilous times, we take our humor where we can find it, and Kamala Harris has been a frequent source of entertainment. The Federalist has compiled a number of Kamala’s most notorious sayings in the form of motivational posters. Who knows, some

Roger Kimball covered Vice President Harris’s tragicomic sojourn in Eastern Europe last week in his weekend Spectator column. We last checked in with Harris at Thursday’s press conference with the Polish president. On Friday, Harris moved on from Poland to Romania for another press conference, this time with Romanian President Klaus Iohannis. The White House has posted the transcript of Harris’s remarks here. A reporter posed this not exactly shocking

The Biden administration called on the talents of Vice President Kamala Harris to work their wonders in the Ukraine crisis. What were the parties responsible for her mission to Poland President Andrzej Duda in Warsaw yesterday “thinking”? I’ll have to circle back to you on that. Harris responded with a bout of fake laughter when asked about Ukrainian refugees (video below). The New York Post quotes the comment of Iulia

Is it possible to imagine the treatment Kamala Harris would receive if she were a conservative Republican rather than a ludicrous leftist dolt? She might be laughed out of public life. She might be mocked into oblivion. I’m pretty sure she would not have ascended to the position that is proverbially one-heartbeat-away from succession to the 79–year-old Dementia Joe. As it is, the reality may be beyond satire. NBC asks

Vice President Kamala Harris explained the Russia-Ukraine conflict “in layman’s terms for people who don’t understand what’s going on and how can this directly affect the people of the United States” during a segment on 93.9 WKYS’s The Morning Hustle yesterday (video below, whole thing here). WKSY holds itself out as “DC’s Source For What’s Hot In The Hip Hop Community With The Best Radio, Local News, Events And Insider

I assume Kamala Harris would claim to be opposed to rape. But during and after the George Floyd Riots, she not only contributed to but enthusiastically promoted a group called the Minnesota Freedom Fund. MFF pretended to exist for the benefit of “peaceful protesters,” but in fact it immediately bailed violent criminals of all kinds out of jail, most of whom had nothing to do with any sort of “protest”
