The Future of Kamala Harris

photog Current Events ,

Stop the presses!  Kamala Harris is not running for governor of California!  But she may run for president in 2028!

Remarkable.  It’s like everyone has to suspend disbelief and pretend that Kamala hasn’t outed herself as a toxic buffoon who couldn’t defeat a door stop in a battle of wits.  Didn’t we just watch her get trounced in a national election where her race, sex and age made her the runaway favorite to win the sympathy of the demographically changing American voters?  Now granted she was selected over Joe Biden by the Democratic National Committee but after his performance in the debate against Trump even a potted plant would have seemed an improvement.

But just for the sake of clarity let’s say it out loud.  Even the biggest Kool-Aid drinking progressive isn’t going to vote for Kamala Harris in the 2028 Democrat Presidential Primary.  The stink of loser on her is like that cadaver smell on a corpse that’s been locked in an overheated apartment for a week.  It would be absolutely impossible to even pretend to not notice it.

I guess my question is exactly how is this kind of information passed along to Harris so she doesn’t embarrass everyone by actually trying to run for office.  For instance, how was she told that she couldn’t run for California governor?  Did one of the Obamas call her up and make up some polite lie about saving herself for the 2028 race?  Or was a zip-lock bag with rotting halibut mailed to her with the words CA Governor’s Race scrawled on it in red magic marker?

Alright, so elective office is no longer an option.  But surely, she has options.  Maybe she can be the next Fred Rogers.  Ms. Harris’s Neighborhood?  She can show up every day at 1pm and get off the bright yellow electric school bus, put on her slippers and sweater and talk to the nation’s four-year-olds at only a slight mental disadvantage.

To be fair to the kids Kamala can’t be allowed to discuss, arithmetic or science or geography or history or human biology or counting to three or, come to think of it, almost anything.  But I’m sure if grown-ups provide her with a script and monitor her work there must be some topics that she can work her way through, like eating ice cream or taking a nap.  But it would be essential that the program not be shown live because she is really stupid and retakes will be a part of the routine.

But honestly, I really believe that Kamala should go back to her first career.  As Willie Brown’s side-piece she was put to her highest and best purpose and even though he is now 91 years old I don’t see why that should stand in the way of keeping her gainfully employed and minimizing her ability to speak.  Because speech is not her strong suit.  During the campaign they called it Kamala word salad.  But that was being kind.  It’s more like some kind of stream of consciousness if it was being produced by a mental patient.  Okay, that’s enough.

Even if the Dems run Kamala as a candidate, never underestimate the Republicans ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. The best thing the Dems could do is continue to scold the Americans who disappointed them by not jumping on the EV Kamala bus, and voted against them. They have 4 years to bitch and moan about how they were robbed, and it’s all racist. That would make Vance have an easy run by building up a reservoir of resentment among the undecided. All Trump need to do is hold the stated course of deport, reinflate, and drill baby drill. This could swing the pendulum back to the right, the last election was indicative of a tidal shift against the left wing agenda.

Hillary has a better chance than Kamala. But I can see the attraction for Kamala for the lefty bigwigs. She will do absolutely as told. Shove your hand up her butt and make her a puppet. She is mixed race so can claim to be Black. She is nominally a female and the left wants a miority woman in the Oval Office so bad they can taste it. Problem is, she is a terrible campaigner. This time around, when she got the marshmallow-soft question about her differences viz Dopey Joe, she froze like a possum in the headlights. She was roadkill. She HAD to know the question was coming, the media lefties would be sure to tell her campaign manager what questions would be asked. She still flopped. At least she doesn’t terrorize young girls and fall down or walk away with an extended hand pointed toward…nobody.
At least not yet. She has three years to practice, but my belief is they’d rather run AOC than Kamala. Some candidate may rise who is charismatic enough to lead the party and win. A lefty version of Trump – all piss and vinegar. But then, maybe not. Maybe the left has gone plumb loco, as Yosemite Sam would say.

It’s Her Turn. …  Again.

Ah, the joy of virtuous living.  Today I spent the morning (well, a good chunk of it) reviewing the novel and my notes on the shortcomings of the present outline.  And shockingly, it wasn’t painful at all.  In fact, it was refreshing to be making some progress and making some concrete changes at last.  And sometimes, all it took was a sentence or two over here and maybe a word or two over there.  Yes, very gratifying.  This program is the way to go.

So having done my duty as a serious-minded slave in the salt mines of literature, I can turn my attention to my other vocation.  What do I want to talk about today?

Well, apparently the FBI has discovered that some people expect them to do something to prevent terrorism and failing that, arrest the terrorists and maybe prevent the next terrorist from following in their footsteps.  Well, apparently the biggest mistake is to jump to conclusions; like terrorists could be motivated by radical Islam.  Here we are in 2025 and that outdated post-9/11 islamophobia still exists!  Crazy! Right?

Well, between the anarchists killing CEOs and the Islamists killing whoever they can find grouped in one place, it looks to be a busy time for the new administration.  But honestly, the solution to these problems is the same as for our other problems; shut the borders and deport the crazies and criminals as soon as possible.  Luckily, I think Trump knows that.  If this was Bush or even Obama, they would be asking the Pentagon and the State department which countries to bomb and which regime to color revolution out of power.

I read several leftists bemoaning the fact that the powers that be in the Democrat party don’t think they should change the strategies they used in the 2024 campaign.  Apparently, identity politics is so baked into the coalition and its leaders that “throwing trans people under the bus” is unthinkable.  And apparently so is reducing crime in the cities.  That idea has been declared white supremacist.  Now that’s what I call true believing!

And finally, polls are appearing that show Kamala Harris ahead of JD Vance for the 2028 presidential election.  This is so exciting.  I feel that the Republicans should support this direction with everything they have.  As much money as can be raised should be poured into convincing the Democrat voters that Kamala is the one; the new Obama.  They should stress that she only had a hundred days to get the people on board the Kamala train.  Now they have fifteen times that much to build the wave that will sweep her into the White House.  After all, look at Trump.  He lost in 2020 and still managed the 2024 win.  Just think of what fifteen hundred days of Kamala’s unencumbered futures, yellow school buses and Venn diagrams speeches would do to the American voters’ opinions.  I feel sure they will get to know exactly how smart and sensible she truly is.  But I’m going all out.  Maybe I’ll even switch parties to support her in the primary.  Whatever it takes, I’ll be there, Kamala.  It’s her turn!  Again!

A Sense of Loss

photog Biden Humor, Current Events, Humor, Trump , , ,

“I can imagine what can be, unburdened by what has been.”  “Cannibals ate my Uncle Bosie.”

We all will feel a real sense of loss when Joe and Kamala move onto the next chapters of their lives.  Well, Kamala will anyway.  There is no next chapter of Joe’s life.  There may not be a next paragraph or even sentence.  If Biden shows up at the Inauguration, I hope someone will have had the foresight to bring along a body bag and some absorbent material; kitty litter or paper towels or something.

But we will be losing a lot.  I can remember in 2021 and 2022 when things were truly awful with COVID and the restrictions around it.  It was only Joe’s struggles with gravity that gave me the will to go on.  And what about Kamala’s pronouncements about yellow school buses and Venn diagrams?  It was only this level of idiocy that gave me the hope that even the American public would back away from the edge of the Abyss and send these two boobs packing in 2024.  Sure, it was thin gruel to keep us going for three and a half years but it was all we had.

And it worked!  In July when I watched Joe Biden in the debate it was like the clouds parting and the sun blazing out at me.  It was the promise of all those gaffes, flubs and pratfalls coming home to roost for the Democrats.  And it was not only that.  It was this fumbling, bumbling, inarticulate, incoherent dementia patient juxtapositioned against all the sound bites of politicians and reporters and talking heads like Morning Joe swearing on a stack of bibles that Jumping Joe Biden was “as sharp as a tack,” that “this version of Biden … is the best Biden ever.”  It was Christmas in July.  The horror and panic that descended on Washington and Hollywood and New York was hilarious.  And the more the Left begged Biden to drop out the more he doubled down.  The interview he did with Stephanopoulos was remarkable.  You could see the pain on Stephanopoulos’s face as he tried his best to put the dots together for Biden on how hopeless his chances were.

And finally, when Pelosi and her hatchet-men had delivered some doomsday ultimatum to Biden to force him out of the race, imagine the horror the campaign faced when they evaluated how they could package and sell Kamala.  Their first idea was the best; don’t let her say anything except, “joy.”  They used that for about a month, that and whatever versions of it they could frame.  I guess the most embarrassing was Kamala is “brat.”  But eventually they had to let her talk and that would eventually remind voters that presidents have to be able to speak and by extension, think.  And of course that is Kamala’s weak point.  Well, it’s one of them.  She’s also unlikeable and, perhaps worse, she’s incandescently inauthentic.  Everything she says comes across as an absurd lie that everyone can see through.

And so, the Left went from Biden to Harris.  Scylla to Charybdis.  Bad to worse.  Dumb and dumber.  I can only imagine the horror of the campaign team.  There must have been an ocean of booze imbibed during the campaign to keep the staff from bolting for the exits.  And the Democrat voters told themselves so many lies and so many contrasting versions of the truth, that it must have been like some kind of self-inflicted brainwashing protocol.  Yesterday, Biden is a super genius.  Today he’s a doddering moron and Harris is a political dynamo and a lock for the win. Tomorrow they’re praying for the Never-Trumpers like Liz Cheney to save them from a razor thin margin.  And then the morning after, it’s a wipeout and she never had a chance.  And thus, was spawned a thousand TikTok videos of angry women screaming at their phones about fascism, the 4B Movement and never going to Thanksgiving ever again.  Oh, so wonderful, oh so painful.

Well, we won’t have Joe Biden to kick around anymore.  I doubt anyone will even attend his funeral.  And Kamala will return to California where she hopes to become governor.  I kind of doubt it will happen.  If nothing else this campaign has made a lasting impression on everyone about just how stupid this woman is.  Maybe she can be mayor of San Francisco for life.  Those people have so much white guilt that setting up Kamala as a figurehead leader would make sense to them.  But that’s about as far as she’ll go.

So that’s it.  No more Joe.  No more Kamala.  When will we see their like again?  Never!

It gives me a feeling of emptiness, of loss.  We need a new leader for the Left.  Will Obama or Michelle fill the gap?  I kind of doubt it.  Well, we’ll have to wait and see.  Goodbye Uncle Bosie.  It was fun.

Maybe Kamala Really is Toast

photog Current Events, Trump , ,

I was watching this video and it seems that even Democrat pundits are becoming alarmed by the early voting numbers.

So, this is nothing to bet the farm on but it will be hilarious if it pans out.  I was thinking, What the hell would Kamala do if she lost?  I mean who would ever employ a pathetic loser like her?

Maybe Hillary and Kamala could form some kind of consulting company.  Their specialty could be losing to Donald Trump and laughing maniacally to deflect embarrassing questions.

And if they added Joe Biden to the firm they’d really have something to amazing.

Seriously, I’ve been ridiculously busy for the last couple of weeks so I don’t have a good feel for how the race is actually going.  But regardless of whether Trump could actually produce the changes he says he wants to create, if he wins this election the screeching that will go on in cat lady land will be epic.  It will eclipse the crap-fest that erupted in 2016.

I remember fondly the best-of videos with the likes of Rachel Maddow and  Miley Cyrus howling and barking at the moon.  It would certainly make for a marvelous early Christmas present if we could have a repeat in November.

It’s understood that Trump winning the election will not in any way guarantee our escape from Deep State.  They’ve already demonstrated their ability to undermine even a wildly popular president.  Chances are they’ll resort to something much more deadly than COVID.  Probably some kind of combination of small pox and Ebola.

But even if we can’t win we can still enjoy the spectacle of the “ladies” on The View and the whole cast of MSNBC including Morning Schmoe and Lycra Spandexy inveighing against the Orange Man and vowing to resist with all the fervor of their black hearts.

So just to remind us, this could be a taste of things to come.

My Last Presidential Debate

photog Current Events , , ,

I wasn’t going to watch the debate because tomorrow is going to be an early trip and a long day so I can’t stay up late but then I said, “Ah, the hell with it.  I’ll watch the sideshow.”

Well, she wasn’t Biden.  She could string together sentences.  And of course, the questions from ABC were almost all slanted against Trump and for Harris.  But basically, it was a free for all with both of them hammering away at each other.  Parts of it were somewhat entertaining but I wouldn’t call it very decisive.

I like the fact that Trump basically stuck to using a very large part of his time hammering her on the border and the economy.  Those are the bread-and-butter topics that people really care about and I liked his closing statement where he made the main point; that all the things that Harris says she’s going to do could have been done at any time in the last three years.  But they weren’t done.

So, does this debate help Trump or Harris more?  I guess it marginally helps Harris because she didn’t stand there like an idiot in the way her boss did a couple of months ago.  She’ll get a bounce because she’s proven she’s not brain dead and because the press will claim she was brilliant.  But really this election is a referendum on the economy and the Border.

Neither of those issues work in Kamala Harris’s favor and talking about them isn’t good for her case.  Now it’s entirely possible that America will vote for Harris.  And it is possible that even if they vote for Trump that the powers that be will print off a million ballots in Philadelphia and Detroit.  So maybe this whole exercise was pointless anyway.  But it did give us a chance to see Trump and Harris side by side.  I’ll have to say I do enjoy his show.  He is unique.  He’s crazy as a loon but he’s a hell of a lot more fun than anything else going on in this country.  He’s got energy and he’s got flair.

Well, that’s my take.  Was it worth it?  Nah.  I should’ve written about something fun.  Basically, I can’t wait for this election to be over.  It’s like some kind of boring speech you have to sit through while waiting for a game to start.  What happens after November will be a new world.  All the make-believe will be over and we can start thinking about the here and now.  Maybe my focus will be on hoarding things that won’t be available in the future.  Or maybe it’s time to start working on my do-it-yourself skills for when I won’t be able to afford the costs of craftsmen and the like.  Or maybe I’ll concentrate on fiction writing and leave the punditry to Tucker Carlson and his buddies.

But whatever else I’ll be doing; I think I’ve watched my last presidential debate.  I mean, what’s the point?  If these same people are put back in the White House after four years of this then I’m in the wrong country.

Reality Returns to the 2024 Election

photog Current Events ,

Mark Halperin is a left journalist but he has been running an independent zoom-like network with both Republican and Democrat journalists called 2-Way which has been analyzing the race.  This video seems to be preparing his friends on the Left for some new polling that will let some of the air out of the Harris “Joy” campaign that been unleashed on the world during the Dem convention.  It sounds kind of grim despite his best attempt to sugar-coat it.

I’m interested to see what those Fox polls coming out tomorrow look like for the battleground states.

Cataclysmic Pep Talk

photog Current Events ,

Imagine if Kamala Harris becomes president. Some people might think that things will actually run better than when Joe Biden was in charge because she’s even stupider than he was and won’t attempt to run anything at all and so the “geniuses” in charge of the deep state will manage all the decisions of the federal government and everything will be coordinated to the nth degree.

And maybe to some extent this will be true.  But I don’t think the various bureaucracies of the federal government can be allowed to run their little satraps indefinitely without supervision by someone who understands reality.  I’m imagining the State Department and the CIA explaining to Harris that it’s going to be necessary to return to Afghanistan to prevent homophobia and transphobia from threatening the LGBTQ population there.  And Kamala would immediately approve of such a plan.  Or suppose the EPA talks her into banning fossil fuels altogether.  Or the Justice Department easily convinces her that reparations for slavery to the tune of $45 trillion dollars can no longer wait.  You can see how having a complete moron as president could lead to extremely unfortunate decisions being made.

This kind of analysis goes along with the accelerationist theory for destabilizing the current regime.  Specifically, if the terrible people in charge of the Left are allowed to follow their inclinations without a brake from the Right, eventually they’ll damage the system so much that it will cease to function.  I think this is a simplistic version of how things will go but essentially it is correct.  This is what happens in a blue state like Massachusetts for instance.  The Democrats will assume complete control of the legislature, governor’s mansion and the courts and they will run hog wild and vote themselves anything and everything.  And then they go broke and everything stops working.  And they will vote a Republican governor in to fix the budget and return at least a modicum of sanity to the state government.  And of course, a Massachusetts “Republican” means William Weld or Mitt Romney.  Basically, they’re middle of the road Democrats anywhere else.  And as soon as this Republican has balanced the budget he is immediately cast into the outer darkness and replaced by a lunatic lesbian who wants to fund on-demand gender affirming surgery for toddlers and cradle to grave benefits for illegal aliens.

So the problem is how to avoid the return to power by the Democrats?  I think part of the answer is to take a page from Milei’s book.  Radically reducing the size of the federal government would reduce the power and control of the deep state.  And it would make policies that favor private sector job creation critical.  Of course, most of these laid off bureaucrats will be at a distinct disadvantage in the real world of the private section but I’m sure a few of them will survive.  So, it would be a win/win, sort of.

But I’m not trying to paint the accelerationist model as a pain free scenario.  In order to get to a place where a solid majority would be willing to let the Right have their way, there will have to be economic chaos unleashed on our society, the like of which hasn’t been seen for over a century.  We’re talking 30% unemployment or runaway hyperinflation.  That kind of stuff.  So, shock therapy.  Anything less than that will be tolerated by the schlubs who now populate this sad benighted world we live in.

I’ll be honest.  Having this be the path forward is a pretty depressing plan.  But I now doubt anything less will shock this nation out of its addiction to infantile socialism.  So that’s my pep talk!

Tuesday’s Take

photog Current Events ,

Another day in purgatory.  But I heard the news that Kamala picked Walz.  Ah, the perfect choice.  This was the guy who allowed Minneapolis and St Paul to burn down while the Summer of Floyd was just getting started.  What a perfect symbol for the American people to choose.  The final capitulation of our freedom would be choosing a low-grade moron to be our leader while her stooge will be the man who decided that trumped up racial grievance supersedes law and order and justifies unleashing a murderous mob on innocent people just trying to live their lives.

Today I was trapped in an area where two true believing women were listening to Kamala’s introduction of Walz as her running mate.  They were enraptured listening to the Dunce reading a speech off of the teleprompter.  Kamala was singing his praises both as a high school coach championing some gay/straight alliance group in his school and as a member of the Army reserve.  It probably ended with Walz announcing that he had begun a course of trans-affirming hormones enroute to putting on a wig and dress.  But luckily the two listeners had to get back to work and turned off the show before that point.

If Trump is looking for a perfect symbol of what’s wrong in Joe Biden’s America, he couldn’t ask for a better example than the Harris/Walz ticket.  Both of them stand for a definition of justice where the criminal is protected from prosecution and the victims are criminalized.  Let Walz explain how he allowed the looting and arson to spread across the twin cities and held his state hostage when he could have had the National Guard stop the lawlessness and prevent the rioting from spreading across the country.  That should be Trump’s headline tomorrow and the basis for a whole host of advertisements targeting Walz and his woke running mate.

But what was really interesting about this little tableau, was the comments by the listeners.  They were trying to convince themselves that Kamala was a new woman.  She was no longer a babbling idiot spouting trite pablum about yellow school buses and futures unburdened by something or other.  She was a mighty orator like Obama who would captivate her audience and inspire the nation to support her to victory in November.

They were trying to convince themselves of this narrative.  But it didn’t sound like they were quite convinced.  It seemed like they were pinning their hopes on Walz being the adult in the room to convince the country to ignore reality and put this overwrought nut in charge of our lives for another four years of bad economy, rising crime and moral confusion.

My takeaway was they’re really scared.  The Joe Biden debacle was an existential crisis and they’re still slightly giddy from dodging that bullet.  But now they’re looking around at where they are and realizing that their hopes are pinned to another candidate who is also constrained to reading from a teleprompter.  And unfortunately, there is an enormous amount of recorded video of her talking utter nonsense.

They’re scared.  And they should be.
