Biden Is Totally Trying to Sabotage the Harris-Walz Campaign

Anointed Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris promises “a new way forward,” but Presidentish Joe Biden said today he delegated “everything from foreign policy to domestic policy” to Harris because “as vice president, there wasn’t a single thing that I did that she couldn’t do” and everybody with functioning synapses wants to know, “Which is it, bub?”

I’ll pause here a moment to give you time to both marvel at Biden’s subtle undercut of the Harris-Walz campaign but mostly to chuckle at the phrase, “Kamala Harris promises.”

Did you get all that out of your system? Good. Let’s proceed, shall we?

All told, Harris is having a mixed week. On the one hand, bettors at sites like Polymarket and John Stossel’s Election Betting Odds show Harris as a slight favorite, and so does poll analyst Nate Silver. If you want to know how the least-liked vice president in polling history suddenly gained such likability, Elon Musk (an actual rocket scientist) has you covered.

“Manufactured by the media.”

On the other hand, she’s still an embarrassment every time she speaks, and her pudding-brained boss just slipped a shiv between her ribs — on The View of all places. For progressive women, that show serves as sacred ground.

During the 2004 presidential race between George W Bush and John Kerry, Evan Thomas, the assistant managing editor of Newsweek, said the media “wants Kerry to win.” He continued, “They’re going to portray Kerry and Edwards as being young and dynamic and optimistic, and all. There’s going to be this glow about them that some, is going to be worth, collectively, the two of them, that’s going to be worth maybe 15 points.”

Crime and Kamala

If you visit Kamala Harris’s campaign website and click on “issues,” you will find a tepid list of conventional progressive topics — corporate greed, health care, education, child care, and climate change among them.  What you will not find is a single word on crime and especially on migrant crime.  It’s as if crime did not exist.

Kamala’s silence on violent crime actually follows a long history of dismissiveness on the part of progressives.  Liberals seem to find it easy to look the other way when horrific acts of murder, rape, and assault are carried out.  It’s not just that they are covering up for the sake of getting elected; it’s as though they don’t really care.

Among the worst cases this year is that of Joselyn Nungaray, a 12-year-old girl who was murdered and sexually assaulted back in June, allegedly by two illegal aliens from Venezuela who were apprehended and released by border agents under the Biden/Harris open border policy.

The White House response to Nungaray’s rape and murder was that the administration “cannot comment on active law enforcement cases.”  In fact, Biden and Kamala Harris refused even to speak Nungaray’s name.  The explosion of violent crime in the U.S. is a direct consequence of Biden’s and Harris’s open border policy, but Harris in particular seems to find it convenient to ignore the issue.   But if one refuses to speak the name of the victim, how can one express sympathy and grief?  Isn’t Harris bothered by the 23,000 murders taking place annually in the U.S.?

Actually, based on her strict silence and long-held position denying that a crisis exists and by her proposals to aid illegal aliens with free housing, food, education, and health care, one would have to say she is not bothered by migrant crime.  In this way, she is a typical progressive who believes that criminals should get off lightly and that society just needs to accept a certain amount of violence as the price it pays for liberals’ high-minded ideals.  Sanctuary cities are just part of this witches’ brew of liberal thought.

Just as progressives like Harris remain silent on Joselyn Nungaray’s rape and murder, they have been awfully glib about the two attempts on Donald Trump’s life, often speaking about the two attempted assassinations as “apparent”  or “security incidents” or being dismissive in other ways (“attempts on presidents’ lives are not rare,” according to The Conversation).  If we ask our A.I. co-pilot, we learn that “elections are a super complex topic that I’m not trained to chat about.”

Then there’s the line that Trump brought it on himself by not agreeing with every progressive policy.  Of course, a candidate who talks about “America First,” American greatness, the right to life, gun rights, and freedom of speech is going to make himself a target.  He kind of deserves it.

That was what I heard on some of the mainstream news stations just hours after each of the two assassination attempts.  And there was no indication of concern for a man’s life.  Instead, Harris, Biden, Schumer, and others kept saying that Trump is a “threat” to democracy and that he “has to go.”  Not very sensitive just hours after he was nearly killed.

But progressives like Harris are not very sensitive about life if someone gets in their way.  African-Americans constitute about 30 percent of Democrat voters, so one would think progressive would demonstrate concern about black victims of violent crime.  The fact is that 92% of blacks who are murdered are killed by other blacks.  Kamala Harris has never, to my knowledge, acknowledged this fact, nor has she expressed much sympathy for the thousands of victims, most of whom reside in Democrat-run cities.  But if anyone is going to address the high level of violence in these cities, one needs to acknowledge the facts about the killings.

Kamala Harris’s Four (Weird) Freedoms

In the current election cycle, serious charges have been raised by both candidates concerning the fitness for the office of the presidency of the other candidate.  The essence of the Harris charge dwells on what she claims has come out of Trump’s mouth, meaning insults, putdowns, racism, and lies.  The essence of the Trump charge concerns what doesn’t come out of Harris’s mouth, meaning her utter vacuity, not to mention her silence on many issues.

Granted, Harris has not been silent on many important issues — but she has claimed that she has changed her mind on many of them.  In other words, we have a good idea of what Trump stands for and what he will try to accomplish, whereas we have suspicions, but no clear idea about what Harris might do — or might not do.

Now for the vacuity charge.  Yes, that vacuity was on display in Harris’s recent sit-down with Oprah Winfrey.  It was even cringingly and embarrassingly on display — but this was nevertheless not an entirely substance-free zone.

Her laundry list of “freedoms” was actually quite revealing, meaning both what she didn’t include and what she did include.  First was the “freedom to make decisions about your own body.”  That wasn’t exactly one of Franklin Roosevelt’s “Four Freedoms,” but there has never been much doubt that it is Kamala Haris’s first freedom.  Now we have solid evidence that this is the case.

And yet it, too, was in its own way a bit vague.  The obvious presumption is that she was referring to the modern Democrat party version of a “positive good,” meaning an unlimited right to an abortion rather than the right to own slaves.  But notice what was missing: “your body,” not a woman’s body.  She left open the possibility that she was also including the freedom of a child to attempt to alter his sex.  Or the right of an illegal alien to do the same thing — and at taxpayer expense.  Or the right of a male to compete in female sports.  In any case, it is revealing that this is Kamala Harris’s first freedom.

Second on her list was the “freedom to be safe from gun violence.”  But how will she ensure this?  She doesn’t say.  Will she interfere with the freedoms of gun-owners?  After all, to guarantee such a freedom, there will have to be gun confiscation on a massive scale.  If this is really her second most important freedom, nothing less than that will be required.

Third was the “freedom to have access to the ballot box.”  To be sure, that freedom was denied to women and minorities decades upon decades ago.  But just how is this freedom being denied to any eligible voter today?  And might it not be considered freeing to know that assurances are made to ascertain that only eligible voters exercise the franchise?

To be more specific, does Harris’s third freedom include the right to have an unrequested ballot mailed to you?  Does it demand voting for weeks on end?  And does it include not being required to show identification prior to voting?

To cap it all off, Harris returned to the body — and perhaps the mind: “the freedom to be who you are and just be …”  And precisely what does that freedom imply?  Who knows?  It’s not likely that even she knows.  In any case, it is completely vacuous.

Why Kamala Harris’ $25,000 down payment program is just like the electric vehicle boondoggle

Kamala Harris’ $25,000 down payment plan for first-time homebuyers should remind people that we don’t want government to try to solve free-market problems. Because it can’t.  

In 2021, the Biden-Harris administration passed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which included $7.5 billion to build 500,000 public charging stations for electric vehicles across the country to boost clean energy. 

And the functional charging stations have reached an eye-popping number of eight. Yes. Eight!  

Now Kamala wants you to believe the government can help build 3 million affordable housing units over the next four years?

We don’t even know who will qualify for this $25,000 down payment assistance in terms of income levels. But certainly for those staring down the barrel of the median $425,000 home price in America, this sum of money is a far cry from getting them out of private mortgage insurance and getting into an affordable monthly mortgage payment.  

Instead, we should be looking at the groundbreaking ideas germinating in the free market that may shed some light on how we can fix the affordable housing crisis in America.

Real estate investor explains why Kamala Harris is the candidate who ‘does not understand housing’

One of the most outspoken real estate investors in America is aiming to set the record straight on what the real estate industry might look like under a future Harris-Walz administration.

“Kamala Harris is either financially illiterate, incompetent, or she believes that her voters are. Her plans come up every week as something new,” real estate investor, private equity fund manager and 10X co-founder Grant Cardone said Wednesday on “Mornings with Maria.”

“Kamala does not understand housing,” he continued, “and I can tell you why.”

Vice President Harris has rolled out a list of actions she would take to tackle the affordable housing crisis in the U.S. if she wins the presidency, including the expansion of President Biden’s proposal earlier this year to provide $25,000 in down payment assistance to first-time homebuyers.

Kamala Harris is stumped by question about crucial part of her economic policy during MSNBC interview

Vice President Kamala Harris gave a long pause during her interview on MSNBC when she faced a question over how she would pay for her economic plans. 

The moment came early in the interview where Harris batted away slow-pitch questions such as ‘can we trust you?’

Interviewer Stephanie Ruhle asked Harris, who was giving her first network TV interview since securing her party’s nomination, how she would pay for her economic plans. 

‘If you can’t raise corporate taxes or if GOP takes control of the Senate, where do you get the money to do that,’ her interviewer asked, after Harris outlined some of her plans like a $6,000 credit for young couples or subsidies for new small business ventures.

Republicans stand a decent chance of taking the chamber from the narrow Democratic majority, with a Montana Democratic-held seat growing increasingly vulnerable.  

‘But we’re going to have to raise corporate taxes,’ Harris told her after a pause.

‘And we’re going to have to raise – we’re going to have to make sure that the biggest corporations and billionaires pay their fair share. That’s just it,’ Harris said.

The Kamala Harris Plan To Create More Housing Shortages

If you want more shortages, then artificially stimulate demand. That’s exactly what Harris proposes, following the lead of AOC.

The Kamala Harris Plan

The National Low Income Housing Coalition discusses the Harris Campaign Plans to Lower Housing Costs.

To address the housing shortage and bring down prices for renters and homeowners alike, the Harris campaign’s plan calls for a historic expansion of the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) and the first-ever tax incentive for homebuilders who build starter homes sold to first-time homebuyers. Building upon the Biden-Harris administration’s proposed $20 billion innovation fund, the campaign proposes a $40 billion fund that would support local innovations in housing supply solutions, catalyze innovative methods of construction financing, and empower developers and homebuilders to design and build affordable homes.

The campaign plan cites the Biden-Harris administration’s ongoing actions to support the lowest-income renters, including its actions to expand rental assistance for veterans and other low-income renters, increase housing supply for people experiencing homelessness, enforce fair housing laws, and hold corporate landlords accountable.

To make homeownership attainable, Vice President Harris’s proposal would provide up to $25,000 in down payment assistance for first-time homebuyers who have paid their rent on time for two years. First-generation homeowners – those whose parents did not own homes – would receive more generous assistance.

Kamala Spokesman Refuses To Answer question “Are Americans Better Off Now Than Four Years Ago?”

A spokesman for the Kamala Harris campaign repeatedly refused to answer the simple question “are Americans better off than four years ago?”

It is the same question Harris couldn’t provide a coherent response to during the debate.

During a CNN interview, Ian Sams was persistently asked to provide an answer, and skirted around the question the entire time.

Host Pamela Brown noted “the bottom line here, when you look at a metric like grocery prices, they’re up still 20 percent compared to four years ago.”

She continued, “And Harris was asked recently on the debate stage whether she thinks Americans are better off now than four years ago, and she didn’t directly answer that question. So I will ask you, does she think Americans are better off now or not?”

Sams immediately attempted to pivot the topic to blaming “the mess that we inherited when President Trump left office” and Trump’s “total mismanagement of COVID” for the poor state the economy is in.

He then went straight to the one talking point Harris’ people all go to, the idea that she will “take on corporate price gouging.”

“I’m just going to follow up on the question again,” Brown interjected, prompting Sams to state “she’s going to keep talking about her plans to bring down those grocery costs, while Donald Trump is going to explode them.”

The point is she isn’t providing ANY substance.

IRS Agents for Harris

The National Treasury Employees Union has come out to offer their full support to the Harris-Walz campaign. Is anyone surprised that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is in favor of a Kamala presidency?

Kamala Harris prides herself on passing the Inflation Reduction Act, the largest spending measure in US history, that initially aimed to employ an additional 87,000 IRS agents. Then the Biden-Harris Administration provided these agents with far more than the power to audit and steal from Americans.

The Biden Administration began arming select IRS agents in 2022 and providing them with basic military training. Accountants were trained by the federal government to raid private residences. Biden attempted to recruit an additional 87,000 agents but was temporarily blocked. IRS agents now must complete “firearms, defensive tactics, and building entry.” This militarized branch of the government is expected “to apply the appropriate degree of force necessary to safely carry out enforcement activities, including issuing search warrants, arrests, surveillance, dignitary protection, undercover activities, and seizures.”

Back in the 1970s, I had two armed IRS agents barge in with guns and handcuffs, claiming I owed payroll taxes. I immediately called my accountant who handled payroll who told the agents over the phone that he wrote and distributed the checks. It just so happened I was getting refund checks often, and I actually had one on my desk at the time. I asked why their agency was sending me refund checks if I owed them money. They looked at the check, and it had some code they recognized that denoted it was a refund for payroll taxes. It turned out to be a computer error on their part, and every time we would send in the payroll taxes, it kept trying to apply it to one month, where I owed $2 and promptly refunded the rest. Since the checks were addressed to me personally, I had no idea there was any distinction. The agents left, and I had to pay interest to cash the checks, which I somehow should have known was their mistake.

Harris and Biden Putting Illegal Aliens First and Americans Last

The MAGA or “America First” agenda places Americans at the head of the line, providing economic opportunity. Harris and Biden’s “America Last” agenda favors securing other countries’ borders while leaving America’s borders wide open. Economic opportunity is going to foreigners, not Americans.

One example is jobs. As a Fox affiliate reported, “Majority of employment growth since COVID-19 goes to immigrants.” Leave it to the mockingbird media to spin employment in the Outlaw Josey Wales fashion of pissing down your back and telling you it’s raining.

CNBC gaslights, “How immigrants are helping keep job growth hot.” Or from PBS, “How migrant workers have contributed to strong U.S. job growth.” Tell that to the millions of job-seeking Americans. Migrants first, Americans last.

I used the term “aliens” rather than “migrants” or “immigrants” in my title in polite deference to President Bill Clinton, who in his 1995 State of the Union address said, “All Americans…are rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country. The jobs they hold might otherwise be held by citizens or legal immigrants.” He was spot on, so I honored him by using his words.

When it comes to Americans marrying foreign nationals, once again, it’s illegal aliens at the front of the line.
