Kamala’s Allegedly Superior Record to that of Joe Biden
Instead of “change,” why isn’t Kamala touting the innate advantages of her progressive projects, that is, promoting four more years of the same?
Victor Davis Hanson answers in Real Clear Politics: “Joe Biden has proven to be one of the most unpopular presidents in history. His approval ratings hover around 40%.” Biden’s policies are even less than 40% of the very left-wing policies he and his VP Harris implemented.
Why is Kamala Harris not boasting about her past efforts to (1) open wide the southern border, (2) support defunding the police, or (3) call for reparations?
… she has renounced most of her prior radical agendas and embraced their antitheses. In eerie examples of projection, whatever particular unpopular policy is most associated with Biden-Harris, she claims Trump, out of office since January 2021, was responsible for the fiasco.
Well, How about Hyperinflation?
According to Harris, Trump did it.
Twelve million illegal aliens swarming across the border in 2021-2024? Again, Trump is responsible. The most humiliating military defeat in a half-century? The Afghanistan disaster of August 2021 is Trump’s fault, too.
Turn the Page and Move Forward
It’s strange how she almost sounds like a Donald Trump voter critiquing her own Biden-Harris disaster years. Stranger still is when Harris vows to “turn the page” and “move forward”—as if suddenly to distance herself from the very record she and Joe Biden enacted.
It’s as though Kamala Harris is asking voters to suspend belief that what they have seen, heard—and suffered—the last four years was not really the fault of the government overseen by Biden-Harris in power. It was due, Harris claims, to Donald Trump out of power.
Voters are beginning to suspect that come November 6, Harris will revert to her lifelong leftist agenda.
Then there is Kamala’s metamorphoses. Why does she not mention that her parents each have a Ph.D.: one a Stanford professor, the other a cancer researcher at UC Berkeley? Despite her claims, Kamala did not live long in Oakland but grew up in upper-middle-class neighborhoods in university towns like Berkeley, Palo Alto, and an elite district of Montreal.
Like Hillary and Obama, Kamala has mastered the reinvention of her past and present tastes and experiences. Where was the franchise where she worked, now conveniently forgotten?
Harris Owns a Glock
Oh yes, Harris owns a Glock handgun, but she never specifies when and where she purchased it, to whom it is registered, or which model. Yet, as an AG in California, she made it nearly impossible to purchase many Glock models.
The once-noted wine connoisseur, now the populist Harris, drinks beer on television.
Kamala’s “working class” commercials are aimed at regaining support from blue-collar males, especially poor white men without college degrees. But such ads aimed at these constituencies are laughable, writes Mr. Hanson, with actors caricaturing how elites imagine working males talk and look like when voicing support for Harris. How she ridicules Trump supporters brings to mind Hillary’s “deplorable” lambasting of Trump supporters.
Wealthy Coastal Elite Lecturing the Working Class
Former President Barack Obama recently ventured out on Kamala’s campaign trail to warn supposedly naïve young black men not to be misled, fooled, or suffer from false consciousness into voting for a supposedly racist Trump rather than voting for a progressive black female, Kamala Harris. Harris being black and female are her highlights.
Real Men Able to Support Their Families
Soaring price hikes in gas, food, rent, power, and insurance—as well as perceptions of anemic responses to national security threats abroad and an inability to crack down on lawlessness at home—are what really alienates men.
Harris Not the Only False Candidate
Then there is VP nominee Tim Walz, who has systematically misled voters about his past in a way that hardly seems manly.
Walz falsely claimed that he held a higher military rank, fought in a combat zone, misrepresented an award from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce, used in vitro fertilization for the birth of his child, was at Tiananmen Square during the historic 1989 demonstrations, and visited China either “30” or “dozens” or merely “closer to 15” times.
Who are these people? Tim Walz and Kamal Harris? Neither seems to know who he or she really is. Each seems incapable of advising voters how a Kamala Harris/Tim Walz administration would run the country.
