Kamala Harris

It took less than 24 hours for someone in the Harris campaign to wake up and recognize that, as John noted here yesterday, Harris proposal for federal aid of various kinds to black men was blatantly unconstitutional. It is not even a close call: it would be struck down in 10 minutes in any district court, and the appeals courts wouldn’t waste their time with it. You would think that

President Biden suffers from serious cognitive decline. The decline continues. We observed it in the course of the 2020 presidential campaign. We commented frequently on it as it was manifested once he took office. We have seen it over and over. Everyone has seen it. Everyone sees it. Everyone knows it. It’s almost unbelievable. In the information age, Woodrow Wilson lives! When the bottom fell out of Biden’s public support

We were told when Kamala Harris seized the Democratic nomination from senile Joe that she was the candidate of “good vibes.” Not so much now, apparently. For some reason her campaign didn’t seize upon the Beach Boys’ classic “Good Vibrations” as their campaign theme song, but maybe it is too distantly boomerish for the millennials running Kamala’s campaign into the ground. But it also occurred to me that the song

At American Greatness, Roger Kimball has fun at the expense of Kamala Harris’s no good, terrible, very bad week. It is all worth reading; he talks about the fake pheasant hunt, the “I’m man enough to vote for Kamala” ad, etc. But I want to focus on this story: Then there was a disastrous “town hall” meeting in which, again, multiple humiliations were assembled. First, some attentive scribe noticed that

This clip of Kamala Harris talking about stars and constellations has prompted a lot of hilarity, with some referring to Kamala as “Galileo.” It has widely been described as a classic Harris word salad: Kamala attempts discussing stars and constellations, ends up delivering the worst word salad in human history. This is a major party presidential nominee, folks. pic.twitter.com/bKQYKxDM5X — johnny maga (@_johnnymaga) October 14, 2024 Of course there are

Earlier today, Kamala Harris tweeted this: Black men deserve a president who cares about making their lives better. pic.twitter.com/cUCdsvvYZ6 — Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) October 15, 2024 This agenda, intended to salvage Harris’s collapsing status with black men, would be outrageous even if it were not illegal. It is one of the topics that we discussed today on the American Experiment podcast. It was a fun installment, as it was hosted

Kamala Harris is failing to attract votes from men, especially minority men, which has her campaign in a panic. On the other hand, she does great with the liberal, wealthy white women who are referred to as “wine moms.” They are the readers of Vogue magazine, the ultimate home court for Harris. So it is no surprise to see Harris–I believe for the second time–on the cover of Vogue: Vogue

One of my oldest pals in the writing racket—a fellow intern for M. Stanton Evans along with me back in 1981—sent the following observation this morning, which I cannot top: I’ve been saying for weeks that Joe Biden seems to be doing his sly best to sabotage the Kameleon’s campaign and that opinion is apparently becoming more widely shared. Jack Posobiec tweeted this morning that there was an “altercation” between

Vice President Harris is running for president as though she is somehow an outsider running against the establishment rather than its hand-picked mouthpiece. She’s not only an insider, she’s the second ranking officer in the incumbent administration. She has previously campaigned on every one of the policies of the Biden/Harris administration that have wrought so much damage to the United States. To take only one example, consider Biden’s opening of

It is, to say the least, a weird election season. Kamala Harris, the incumbent vice president, is positioning herself as the “change candidate.” While at the same time impersonating the incumbent president by, for example, complaining that Ron DeSantis won’t talk to her–he talks to President Biden instead. But of course she doesn’t mean it, and she doesn’t expect anyone to take her “change” theme seriously. Thus: Imagine being outsmarted

Well, okay, she hasn’t started making sense. Yet Kamala Harris continued…doing her thing…in her appearance on 60 Minutes yesterday evening. Interviewer Bill Whitaker posed some difficult questions. I don’t think it went well for her. Any sentient observer could infer why Harris has heretofore preferred to avoid subjecting herself to these ordeals. Andrew Stiles reports on Harris’s appearance in the Free Beacon story “Artless Dodger: Harris Flustered in Substance-Free 60

Kamala Harris is making an appearance on 60 Minutes tonight, but already some excerpts have leaked out, including this gem that a satirist couldn’t invent: “The work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel, that were very much prompted by or a result of many things including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region.” See it for yourself

Kamala Harris has learned that Magic Johnson’s number was 32, and that this coincided with the number of days to the election. “In prehistoric times,” Scott notes, “Johnson was a star on a Michigan State team that won a national championship.” His professional team is another story. The Minneapolis Lakers won five NBA championships and made the move to Los Angeles in 1960. Beginning in 1961 their broadcaster was Francis

In Memories of Hurricane Katrina, I contrasted press coverage and Democratic Party hysteria over Hurricane Katrina, which effectively destroyed George W. Bush’s second term and contributed to the Democrats’ 2006 election victories, with the muted (if not altogether silent) reaction to Hurricane Helene and the vastly more problematic governmental response thereto. It is a theme worth returning to. On CNN, Scott Jennings makes the point effectively: Joe Biden was at

Those of us who obsess about politics have a good handle on who Kamala Harris is. The team of old Obama hands running her for president means to keep the rest of the country in the dark. They confine her to tightly scripted appearances. They do not trust her to speak extemporaneously. She might be exposed for who she is. In unscripted events she is not to stray from memorized

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced today that FEMA is running out of money for hurricane relief: The Federal Emergency Management Agency can meet immediate needs but does not have enough funding to make it through the hurricane season, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told reporters Wednesday. *** “We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have. We are expecting another hurricane hitting,” Mayorkas said. “FEMA does

It is no coincidence that, in last night’s debate, immigration was the issue on which the moderators intervened to try to stop the Democratic Party’s bleeding. The Biden/Harris administration’s immigration policies have been disastrous, unless they are actually trying to destroy our country. In which case they make perfect sense. My colleague David Zimmer recaps the Biden/Harris debacle by the numbers. There is more at the link; here are some
