Harris: A Look Forward

Harris will most likely be the Dem nominee unless there is some amazing theatrics at the convention (I can only hope it would be interesting)…..so now is the time to see what is happening in Kamala’s world…..

As long as ‘Uncle Joe’ stayed in the race donors were pulling back….and now that he has bowed out how does the bribe money look for the Dem candidate?

Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign says it raised a stunning $81 million in the 24 hours after President Biden dropped his reelection bid and endorsed her. The Harris campaign says it is the largest 24-hour fundraising haul in the history of presidential elections, CBS News reports. According to the campaign, more than 888,000 donors were involved and 60% of them were making a donation for the first time in this election cycle.

Democratic donors opened their wallets after President Biden closed the door on his reelection bid. Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign says she raised more than $50 million in less than 24 hours after Biden quit the race and endorsed her, the New York Times reports. The ActBlue donation-processing portal says that around $50 million in donations for Harris received by 5am Eastern were part of a larger haul of more than $80 million for Democratic candidates after Biden’s announcement.

How nice eager interests buying the person who can do the most for them.

If she is the nominee how will she handle the Trump machine?

Will she attack or be the typical Dem?

As Kamala Harris consolidates her position to be the Democratic nominee in quick fashion, strategists in both parties already are feeling out what a race between the vice president and Donald Trump might look like. Coverage:

  • Three words: A story at CNN based on interviews with more than a dozen Harris advisers and allies suggests the VP’s strategy could be summed up succinctly as “prosecutor versus felon.” Harris served as San Francisco’s district attorney before becoming a senator, and she played up the “prosecutor for president” angle in her own 2020 run.
  • Six words: In an appearance on the Morning Joe show, former Obama adviser David Plouffe suggested a campaign message that struck the same chord with three extra words: “She’s a prosecutor. He’s a criminal.” Plouffe also suggested a Harris campaign could immediately flip the he’s-too-old card on Trump, who would be the oldest candidate ever nominated, per Mediaite.
  • Against Harris: The Trump campaign and allied super PACs will attempt to tie Harris to high inflation and unpopular border policies, reports the Wall Street Journal. A video on the latter already is out. Republicans also are playing up the narrative that Harris misled the public about Biden’s fitness to serve. A video on that is out as well, tagged, “Kamala was in on it.” Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has been among the prominent Republicans pushing that narrative. “The number one question that she’s going to have to answer now is, why did she lie to the American public?” McCarthy said on Fox.
  • Against Harris, II: A post at Popular Information has more details on the expected lines of attack against the vice president.
  • As a prosecutor: The Trump team will be scouring Harris’ record as district attorney for attack points, but it’s complicated. As the Washington Post notes, she was criticized by Democrats in her 2020 race—amid the fallout from the George Floyd killing and Black Lives Matters protests—for her “tough-on-crime” policies. In 2024, however, a tough-on-crime message might resonate more against an opponent who happens to be a “convicted felon,” per the Post. Her prosecutorial skill of understanding both sides of an argument in order to “unpack” it for a jury should help her as well, an ally says.

Attack, attack!  But will it be enough?  Keep in mind she will be dealing with a proven dick and liar and a con man partner.

News came out as I was writing this draft that Harris has the ‘votes’ she needs to secure the nomination….

Vice President Kamala Harris has secured the support of enough Democratic delegates to become her party’s nominee against Republican Donald Trump, according to an AP survey, as top Democrats rallied to her in the aftermath of President Joe Biden’s decision to drop his bid for reelection. Several state delegations met late Monday to confirm their support for Harris, including Texas and her home state of California. By Monday night, Harris had the support of well more than the 1,976 delegates she’ll need to win on a first ballot, according to the AP tally. No other candidate was named by a delegate contacted by the AP, and no major Democrat has announced plans to challenge Harris.

The AP tally is based on interviews with individual delegates, public statements from state parties, many of which have announced that their delegations are supporting Harris en masse, and public statements and endorsements from individual delegates. Still, the AP is not calling Harris the new presumptive nominee. That’s because the convention delegates are still free to vote for the candidate of their choice at the convention in August or if Democrats go through with a virtual roll call ahead of that gathering in Chicago.

Indeed, despite Harris being overwhelmingly favored, the Democratic Party plans to push forward with a virtual roll call, the rules of which will be approved at a convention rules committee meeting Wednesday. But the AP saw a draft, which indicates Harris, and any other potential Democrat willing to challenge her, will be required to submit 300 electronic signatures from convention delegates, not more than 50 of whom can be from the same state. The vice president, and any other candidate qualifying, would then have a few days to lobby delegates for their support before a virtual vote is held, possibly as soon as Aug. 1. Multiple rounds could be required, but the process would be completed no later than Aug. 7—or 12 days before the party’s convention begins.

I am a international relations voter and Kamala’s record here is spotty and dismal in my opinion.

Since Gaza is on-going her blindness is typical of someone who has money shoved in their pocket by AIPAC.

Harris has been a staunch supporter of Israel for years. In 2017 she addressed the American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s (AIPAC) annual conference and reminded attendees that the first resolution she co-sponsored as a senator was aimed at combating “anti-Israel bias” at the United Nations.

“Let me be clear about what I believe. I stand with Israel because of our shared values, which are so fundamental to the founding of both our nations,” she told the crowd.

“The vast majority of people understand the importance of the State of Israel,” she added later. “Both in terms of its history and its present in terms of being a source of inspiration on so many issues, which I hope we will talk about, and also what it means in terms of the values of the United States and those values that are shared values with Israel, and the importance of fighting to make sure that we protect and respect a friend, one of the best friends we could possibly have.”

That is a paid endorsement.

Nothing about what Israel is doing is a shared principle of the US and especially the Founders.

But people want me to disregard everything I believe in and hold my nose and vote for someone that would not represent anything I hold dear.

That is the question I must answer for myself….and I will write about my decision.

Of course some Red State idiot has files articles of impeachment against Harris….

Kamala Harris is even more of a target now that she’s the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination, so perhaps it’s not surprising that a House Republican on Tuesday filed articles of impeachment against her. Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee added to articles already filed against the vice president, the Hill reports. His new article claims Harris “knowingly misled the people of the United States and the Congress of the United States, principally to obfuscate the physical and cognitive well-being of the President of the United States, Joe Biden.” He says she should be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, though Fox LA reports he did not give specific examples of alleged crimes. Forbes calls it a “political stunt” that is unlikely to have any impact.

The original article of impeachment, which has not gone anywhere after being introduced in June of last year, takes issue with Harris on immigration. It claims she “willfully and systematically refused to uphold the immigration laws, failed to control the border to the detriment of national security, compromised public safety, and violated the rule of law, to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.” In a statement announcing his move, Ogles said Tuesday that Harris “has disgraced the Office of the Vice President and willfully disregarded her oath to uphold and defend the Constitution,” and says she should invoke the 25th amendment to remove Biden from office because he is “mentally and physically” unfit.

These idiots never get tired of playing games so they do not have to do any actual work…..and people vote for them…..amazing!

As a PSA I will write about her, Harris,  political side since she is pretty much an unknown factor as of right now….look for it.

Just One Goose Step Away

I tried to get people to pay attention to the happenings in our political dealings and this one subject was about as popular as a turd in a punch bowl…..

First I began with the possibility of a theocracy….

Does Theocracy Approach?

Then I gave specifics on how it would be done and what people need to do to protect our nation from these mini-Nazis….

The BLITZ Is On!

What?  Cat got your typing finger?

What are you afraid of?

There is a danger brewing in this country and it is not necessarily the candidacy of Trump…..it is the success the christian nationalists are having implementing their playbook….

Time to pay damn attention!

Project Blitz is a concerted campaign by the Christian nationalist movement to implement radical, anti-equality state policies and attack lawmakers who oppose them. It uses a distorted idea of “religious freedom” to influence legislation—one state law at a time—to undermine religious equality, attack LGBTQ discrimination protections, and reduce access to reproductive health care.

Project Blitz
A State-Based Campaign Against Equality and Freedom of Religion
What is it?

Project Blitz is a concerted campaign by the Christian nationalist movement to implement radical, anti-equality state policies and attack lawmakers who oppose them. It uses a distorted idea of “religious freedom” to influence legislation—one state law at a time—to undermine religious equality, attack LGBTQ discrimination protections, and reduce access to reproductive health care.


How does it attack equality?
The Congressional Prayer Caucus Foundation, which is a major supporter of Project Blitz, has published a 148-page policy manual that includes templates for 21 legislative bills. In 2018, over 70 such bills were
introduced in state legislatures around the country, with even more expected in 2019. Unfortunately, some lawmakers who have supported these bills are unaware of the true nature and motivations of Project Blitz.
The manual advises that advocates start with measures that Project Blitz considers relatively easy to pass, and then build momentum by proposing more dangerous bills that offer very broad exemptions for allowing
religiously based discrimination. Project Blitz encourages the growth and spread of “prayer caucuses” in state legislatures to advocate for these bills, and it is succeeding—about 33 states have now established
prayer caucuses in their legislatures. The campaign also encourages “faith-baiting,” seeking to brand opponents of these bills as being against freedom of religion. The proposed legislation falls under three
categories:


Category One: Legislation Regarding Our Country’s Religious Heritage includes bills such as the mandatory display of “In God We Trust” in school classrooms as well as bills that mandate Bible instruction in public schools. According to the guide, these measures “do not garner much organized
outside opposition,” and even if a bill doesn’t pass, it can still “provide the basis to shore up later support for other governmental entities to support religious displays.”


Category Two: Resolutions and Proclamations Recognizing the Importance of Religious History and Freedom includes measures like “Recognizing the Importance of the Bible in History” and “Recognizing Christian Heritage Week” in order to promote the false narrative of the U.S. being
founded as a Christian nation. The guide warns that while these measures will be criticized as favoring Christianity, such opposition does “not play well among members of the general public,” and “making opponents take a recorded vote against them is a win in and of itself. For such
measures, a vote is a win, regardless of whether the bill passes.”


Category Three: Religious Liberty Protection Legislation includes the “most hotly contested” measures such as the “Resolution Establishing Public Policy Favoring Adoption by Intact Heterosexual, Marriage-based Families,” the “Child Protection Act,” which allows publically-funded
adoption and foster care placement agencies to discriminate against same-sex couples, and the “Teacher Protection Act” which unconstitutionally allows teachers and school administrators to proselytize to students. The guide says such legislation should not be proposed unless it can win,
and that success is more likely with measures narrowly crafted to focus on “small business owners, government employees, health care providers, pastors, adoption agencies, and so on.”

These people need to be squashed like a bug on a wind shield and if you want to help in that process…..For more information or to find out how we can help you oppose the Project Blitz agenda in your state, please visit http://www.BlitzWatch.org

None of this is what I embraced when I joined the military.

These people are dangerous and they are an infection that needs to be wiped out once and for all.

Why did people avoid the first two attempts that I made to educate and inform?

What are they afraid of….I ask one more time.

Be Smart!
