Kamala Harris is having fun with a honeymoon of kinds — the media handmaidens are giddy with pleasure over her TikTok coconut memes. She is lady energy personified, the feminine Obama, a strutting, dancing, exuberant Marvel Lady gushing on the telephone together with her besties Michelle and Barack.
The belated endorsement by the Obamas caught on digital camera and pumped out on social media in a cringe-inducing marketing campaign video final week was typical of her terminal inauthenticity and social ineptitude.
The 2 Obamas haughtily uttered 55 phrases between them and have been on the telephone for a complete of 20 seconds, however Kamala cooed and gushed so effusively, you’ll assume she had simply gained an Oscar.
Her overenthusiastic response seemed as if it had been filmed in a number of takes with out the Obamas on the road. It’s no surprise she has not carried out any interviews or unscripted occasions since being anointed Joe Biden’s inheritor obvious. Social gathering powerbrokers nonetheless haven’t spelled out why Joe needed to go as a result of, in the event that they admit that he’s too cognitively impaired to run for re-election, then he has no enterprise being president for one more six months.
In his graceless, self-pitying exit speech, the president by no means defined why he was dropping out. Actually, he informed us his file as president “merited a second time period.” It was get together “unity” that required him to fall on his sword.
The get together machine has to date papered over the anger of the Bidens, which was evident within the sullen faces of Dr. Jill and Hunter and various different relations watching within the Oval Workplace.
Though saccharine eulogies are being laid on thick by the same old suspects, it’s unlikely to be sufficient to salve Joe’s ego via the lame-duck interval to come back. He and Kamala have an inherent battle of curiosity that can certainly erupt in public acrimony. He cares solely about his legacy, and he or she must win an election. She should throw him beneath the bus to attempt to rewrite her personal problematic historical past.
Problematic legacy
The Biden-Harris legacy she has to defend is crippling inflation and 10 million-plus unlawful migrants, together with terrorists and sexual predators.
Add in her radical leftist previous and it’s a recipe for a rout. It was solely three months in the past that CNN pundits have been lamenting swing-vote polling that confirmed she was a drag on Biden’s re-election prospects
When she speaks, all you hear are inane platitudes straight out of Dr. Seuss. Who may overlook this subtle geopolitical evaluation: “Ukraine is a rustic in Europe. It exists subsequent to a different nation referred to as Russia. Russia is an even bigger nation. Russia is a strong nation. Russia determined to invade a smaller nation referred to as Ukraine.”
She has achieved nothing on benefit. Each plum job has been handed to her by highly effective males. She is a person’s girl. Each girl is aware of the kind and instinctively doesn’t belief her. Every thing about her drips with insincerity.
No matter else you say about Donald Trump, what you see is what you get. He’s all the time the identical, whether or not he’s on the golf course or behind the Resolute Desk. He doesn’t change his accent or his outfits to pander to completely different audiences. He’s simply Trump. However who’s Kamala?
She was nurtured within the heat bathwater of California progressive politics. She has by no means constructed the antennae or political agility essential to work each side of the aisle.
Take a more in-depth look
On paper, she seems good. She is engaging, youngish (22 years youthful than Joe), a girl of colour, a former senator, prosecutor, California legal professional normal. However that’s the place the enchantment ends. The fact of Kamala is a poisonous mess of inanity, insecurity, inappropriate laughter and off-putting coquetry.
Not solely is she each bit a DEI rent, as Joe Biden himself mentioned when he declared he was on the lookout for a black feminine operating mate. She is reportedly abrasive behind closed doorways, judging by the excessive employees turnover and leaks from ex-aides who mentioned she by no means did the work after which blamed them when she fell flat on her face.
She is an anti-Catholic bigot who promotes divisive racial insurance policies. As a senator, she as soon as berated a Catholic judicial nominee for belonging to the Knights of Columbus.
She promotes the rancid notion of “fairness,” which she helpfully outlined as equality of consequence, the very foundation of communism. She doesn’t assume deeply sufficient to have acquired an precise ideology, so I hesitate to name her a communist. She is simply an opportunist, driving the most recent fad.
Wise Republicans are sounding a observe of warning, suggesting that she could have electoral efficiency, though that’s extra about Democratic experience at nighttime artwork of “getting out the vote” in blue cities in swing states. However within the regular course of occasions, she is personally unpalatable and a frivolous alternative at a time of worldwide peril with two critical wars threatening to spin uncontrolled.
Regardless of makes an attempt by media handmaidens to erase her historical past as border czar, there’s ample video proof that she was handed the poison portfolio of managing the unlawful migrant disaster.
She averted going to the border, together with her eye solely on egocentric optics slightly than the welfare of the nation or the satisfaction of a job nicely carried out. She refashioned the function into some amorphous root trigger gig the place she jetted round to a couple nations and handed out our cash.
‘Been to the border’
Her excruciating “We’ve been to the border” interview with Lester Holt was maybe the nadir of her vice presidency, though it’s arduous to decide on. The assault adverts write themselves.
She has been enthusiastically in favor of each unhealthy concept the left has dreamed up within the final decade: open borders, cashless bail, banning fracking, Medicare for All, the Inexperienced New Deal, racist id politics.
Her boosters assume they’ll solid her as The Prosecutor versus The Felon. However as the unique Soros prosecutor, she is actually the anti-law-and-order candidate. Put in with the assistance of her lover Willie Brown as San Francisco’s district legal professional in 2003 and California’s legal professional normal in 2010, she owns the crime-infested hellholes they’ve change into.
The one job Joe gave her that she took up with gusto was abortion czar and, no matter your place, ripping infants out of the womb simply earlier than beginning will not be actually an uplifting factor to be outlined by. Her best achievement is to be the primary vice chairman to go to an abortion clinic. How invigorating.
A wholesome concern of Democratic soiled tips is important, however the get together’s present predicament can solely be seen because the product of institutional incompetence.
What Dems have is an uncanny capacity to paper over the reality, as a result of they management the myth-making equipment — the media, Hollywood and academia.
However that results in smug complacency. You change into sheltered from actuality. You don’t see that there are just a few truths you possibly can’t disguise, just like the senility of a delusional outdated man or the inanity of a flibbertigibbet who behaves as if she’s auditioning for a actuality present referred to as “The Actual Housewives of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.”
