Why is Kamala Harris getting the kid-glove press treatment?
The media endlessly attacked Sarah Palin when she was a much-talked about female vice presidential candidate in 2008, but they treat Kamala Harris with kid gloves.
Most of the questions for her from the press amount to puppets asking Harris to trash President Trump. Rarely do they ask Harris, or Biden for that matter, about their policies or what they have said or done in the past.
Here is a sample of meaningful questions that real journalists could ask Harris:
You have said you want to ban fracking. Biden has gone back and forth saying he would ban fracking and sometimes he wouldn’t. Which one is it?
You sought to destroy Kavanaugh with unverified stories of what he did as a teenager, yet you give Biden a pass for a credible accusation of a woman he attacked when he was a senator. Why?
Was it O.K. that Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion in aid to Ukraine if they didn’t fire a prosecutor investigating a corrupt company that paid his son Hunter Biden millions for doing nothing?
Isn’t it pure corruption when the Bidens and the Clintons get massive kickbacks from foreign parties while sucking off the public trough?
Is it O.K. that sanctuary cities and states pick and choose which federal laws they are going to enforce, or should they follow their oath to enforce the laws on the books?
Was it constitutional for President Obama to dictatorially and unilaterally implement DACA? Is the president allowed to make laws? Is it proper for judges to act like it is the law?
How come you wouldn’t prosecute Catholic priests for sexual and child abuse? Where was your empathy?
As most people know, prior to her being a Senator, she served as the chief prosecutor for the city of San Francisco. Now, complaints are coming forward that she flat out refused to pursue criminal cases against Catholic priests who allegedly sexually battered children.
People who say they were victims of childhood sexual abuse call out Harris for not doing all that she could to prosecute their cases.
Joey Piscitelli, who himself is a survivor of sex abuse, says that the DA before Harris, Terence Hallinan, worked hard at getting he and his fellow victims justice.
However, after Harris beat Hallinan in the election, the progress they were making to prosecute the cases seemed to stop altogether.
And here is a sample of questions that should be asked of Biden, Harris and all the journalists who are openly campaigning for them:
Which policies are you proposing that would help poor people and people of all races move up the economic ladder vs. making more people dependent on government?
Won’t raising the minimum wage to a universal $15 greatly harm the young, the elderly. The poor and the less educated as they lose opportunities? Do you realize how much harm that does to small and medium sized cities and especially rural areas which struggle to provide jobs? Do you realize that most areas of the United States are cheaper than San Francisco, New York, LA and Chicago? So why should there be a uniform wage?
Can you please provide any scientific data to show that oil use has a direct correlation with temperatures, sea levels and storm activity before you intentionally destroy millions of jobs and move the country backwards. Why is it so warm this year and why do we have so much storm activity since oil use is substantially lower? Do you realize that there have been many lengthy warming periods in the Earth’s history before man and oil could have had anything to do with it?
Why do you believe you should block poor children’s opportunities to attend charter and private schools?
Do you think biological males should be able to compete with women in sports?
Why is it O.K. for the government to require photo IDs to set up a bank account and get medical care but not to vote?
Isn’t one of the most idiotic deadly decisions on COVID-19 when Cuomo and other governors forced nursing homes to take in sick people to kill vulnerable elderly residents?
Why were the experts wrong when they predicted a super spread of the virus for in person voting in Wisconsin, the Memorial Day gathering in the Ozarks, Trump’s rally in Tulsa, Trump’s rally at Mt Rushmore, Trump’s July 4th gathering in DC and the huge gathering at Sturgis? Shouldn’t the public be told the truth instead of continuing to scare them and keep the economy down?
Shouldn’t the public be told that CDC says that only 9% of the deaths were caused by COVID-19 alone and that medical experts say that 90% of the people that tested positive weren’t really contagious? Doesn’t the truth matter more than the agenda of putting radical leftists in power?
What do you think of the souls of people who will let unwanted babies die on a table without providing health care? Where is the empathy for the most vulnerable? Why would we trust people who would withhold health care from newborn babies to provide health care for the rest of us.
Here is a suggestion for Democrat campaign workers posing as journalists. Don’t ever ask a politician what they think of someone else’s soul. Very few people are experts on other people’s souls. Certainly not journalists or politicians.
45 Questions the Media
Should Ask Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
1,287

Democratic
presidential nominee Joe Biden and his running mate Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA)
will appear in their first joint media interview on Sunday after accepting
their party’s nominations this week.
However, unlike President
Trump, Biden and Harris have thus far declined to take questions from the media
in an open joint press conference where no questions or topics are off-limits.
In the event
that such a press availability arises, here are 45 questions the media should
ask them. This list is by no means exhaustive.
QUESTIONS
FOR JOE BIDEN:
1. Why did members of your family keep getting
lucrative business opportunities overseas while you were vice president?
2. How
did your brother, Frank, secure $45,000,000 in taxpayer loans from
the Obama administration for his Caribbean projects?
3. How
did a newly-minted firm employing your other brother, James,
receive a $1.5 billion contract to build homes in Iraq despite having no
experience in construction or international development?
4. Why
did your son Hunter accompany you on your official trip to
Beijing in December 2013? What did he do on that trip? Who did he meet with?
What should the American public make of the fact that just 10 days after this
trip, your son’s boutique private equity firm secured a $1 billion investment deal from
the state-owned bank of China (later expanded to $1.5 billion) despite having
no prior experience in China, and with this deal, the Chinese government
granted your son’s firm a first-of-its-kind arrangement to operate in the the
recently formed Shanghai Free-Trade Zone—a perk not granted to any of the large
established financial institutions?
5. Should
the American public be concerned that your son’s private equity firm partnered
with a Chinese government-owned aerospace and defense conglomerate to facilitate the purchase of an American
company that produced strategically sensitive dual-use military technology that
the Chinese government wanted?
6. Does
your “Build Back Better” proposal contain any provisions to ensure that
American taxpayer-funded technology is not bought off by Chinese state-backed
enterprises working with private equity firms like your son’s?
7. Back
in 2000, you voted in favor of giving permanent Normal Trade Relations (NTR) to
China. At the time, you said that this would not lead to “the
collapse of the American manufacturing economy” because China is “about the
size of the Netherlands” and could not possibly become “our major economic
competitor.” Furthermore, you predicted that free trade with China would
establish “a path toward ever greater political and economic freedom” for the
people of China. Do you still stand by these statements today after 3.4 million American jobs have been lost to China and millions
of China’s citizens have been imprisoned, surveilled, disappeared, and used as slave labor by an increasingly authoritarian regime enriched by 20 years
of record trade imbalances from flagrant trade violations?
8. The
People’s Republic of China has a bold plan called “Made in China 2025” to
dominate the key technologies of the future in order to overtake the United States
militarily and economically. Do you still contend that China is “not competition
for us”?
9. Why did you promote the Trans-Pacific Partnership
(TPP) to financial special interest groups when
research was clear that the deal would make it easier for corporations to move U.S. jobs
overseas?
10. Do you
believe Xi Jinping kept his promise to Barack Obama to end
cyber-espionage against the United States? If not, what are you prepared to do
about it?
11. Do you
accept that the coronavirus originated in China? Do you think China
was honest with the world in its
handling of the coronavirus? Are you satisfied with China’s explanations for
how it spread? Do you believe their claims about the number of cases and
fatalities in China?
12. Do you
think China should be held responsible in any way for its
handling of the coronavirus? If not, why not? What, if any, repercussions
should there be for China in its handling of the coronavirus?
13. Did
you suggest investigating Michael Flynn under
the Logan Act, as Peter Strzok’s notes suggest?
14. You said in your DNC acceptance speech that
America is ready to “do the hard work of rooting out our systemic racism.” What
did you do in your 36 years as a U.S. senator and 8 years as vice president to
root out systemic racism? Why didn’t it work?
15. You
have called for “revolutionary institutional
changes.” What does that mean in practice?
16. You
have vowed to rescind the Trump tax cuts. Can you think of a single example of
a country that recovered from a recession by raising taxes?
QUESTIONS
FOR KAMALA HARRIS:
17. Why
did you refuse to prosecute even one
sexual abuse case involving the Catholic Church in San Francisco when you
were attorney general, despite the pleas of victims’ groups?
18. Also,
why did your attorney general’s office refuse to release the documents
obtained from the San Francisco archdiocese with all the information about
priests accused of sexual abuse? Victims’ rights groups have
criticized your office for deliberately burying these documents and
thereby covering up the crimes and leaving the public unprotected. Why did
you do this? The San Francisco district attorney’s office claimed in
2019 that they no longer have these documents in their possession. What
happened to them? How can you claim to be a defender of children when
you declined to prosecute the abusers of children?
19. Why
did your office decline to investigate the health
supplement fraud cases involving companies your husband’s law firm represented?
Did you, as California’s attorney general, ever purposefully decline
investigating or prosecuting clients of your husband’s law firm?
20. You
said you believed the women accusing
Joe Biden of inappropriate touching. Do you believe Tara Reade? If not, why not? If so, how
do you justify supporting him now?
21. You
once attacked a judicial nominee on
the basis of his membership in the Catholic fraternal organization the Knights of Columbus, which is the largest
fraternal organization in the world and includes among its past and present
members many prominent Americans like President John F. Kennedy, Supreme
Court Justice Samuel Alito, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), Gov.
John Bel Edwards (D-LA), and Vince Lombardi. Do you believe that
being a member of the Knights of Columbus disqualifies a person from
holding public office? Would you refuse to hire someone on the
basis of their membership in the Knights of Columbus or any other Catholic
organization? In your questioning of this Catholic judicial nominee, you singled out the issue of the Catholic
teaching on the sanctity of life. Would you disqualify a job applicant on
the basis of their Catholic beliefs, including their beliefs about abortion? Do
you believe that being pro-life disqualifies someone from employment?
22. Why
did you single out journalist David Daleiden for
prosecution for undercover journalism that others do without penalty?
23. Your
chief-of-staff, Karine Jean-Pierre, wrote an op-ed last year attacking the
American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and Americans who associate
with it, stating “You cannot call yourself a progressive while continuing to
associate yourself with an organization like AIPAC that has often been the
antithesis of what it means to be progressive.” Do you believe that pro-Israel
activism is incompatible with progressive values?
24. The
Biden campaign has adopted a version of the Green New Deal that calls for 100
percent renewable electricity generation by 2035. California has adopted
similar “green” goals, but now it can’t keep the lights on due to the
state’s reliance on wind and solar energy.
California’s Democratic Gov. Gavin Newson admitted this week that the Golden State
needs a “backup” plan for energy because the current blackouts caused by lack
of wind and overcast skies have shown the danger of relying solely on “green”
energy. Why would the nation fare any better than sunny breezy California in
keeping the lights on if we adopt 100 percent renewable energy?
25. You said in the past that we “need to hold
China accountable” for trade violations, but you are against the use of
tariffs. How do you intend to hold China accountable? You also said that “we
need to export American products, not American jobs.” How do you intend to make
sure we don’t export more American jobs to China? How would your policy differ
significantly from the same policies that led to the loss of 3.4 million jobs to China?
QUESTIONS
FOR BIDEN OR HARRIS:
26. You
both supported the George Floyd protests, which you claimed were peaceful. Have you spoken to
any victims of the riots — people who lost loved ones or businesses?
27. Do you
believe that the looting of the Magnificent Mile in Chicago was a “form of reparations,” as one Chicago Black
Lives Matter organizer claimed? Is looting an appropriate form of protest as a
means of reparations?
28. Seattle
Black Lives Matter protesters stormed a neighborhood last week,
demanding that residents “get the f*** out” and “give black people back their
homes” as reparations. Do you support that style of protest?
29. If
elected, would you object if protesters decided to tear down the statue of Andrew Jackson in
Lafayette Square across from the White House? What about statues to Thomas
Jefferson and George Washington? Would you be willing to sign a written pledge to protect our national
monuments and statues?
30. What
is the maximum number of illegal immigrants you would allow into the country
before securing the border to stop more from entering?
31. The
Obama administration deported an estimated 3 million illegal
aliens. Was that a bad thing?
32. With
30 million Americans unemployed due to the coronavirus, would
you support a halt on work visas for foreign workers competing with Americans
for jobs?
33. Do you
still support a ban on fracking? If so, what do
you say to the estimated 7.5 million American jobs that will be lost due to such a ban, which
includes an estimated 550,000 jobs lost in Pennsylvania, 500,000 jobs lost in
Ohio, 363,000 jobs lost in North Carolina, 353,000 jobs lost in Colorado, and
233,000 jobs lost in Michigan?
34. Wall
Street has praised the choice of Kamala Harris as
VP. Why do you think financial special interests support her so much?
35. Will
you be following the advice of your Wall Street and Silicon Valley donors
in negotiating with China? If not, whose advice would you seek out in
negotiating with China?
36. Do you
support China’s actions in Hong Kong?
37. Do you
support China’s actions in Xinjiang province where an estimated 3 million
predominantly Uyghur Muslims are imprisoned in what the Pentagon has described as “concentration camps”? Are
you concerned about the fact that Hunter Biden’s China-backed private equity
firm invested heavily in the surveillance
technology used to spy on the Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang province?
38. Do you
disagree with how the Trump administration is handling Huawei? Do you think
Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou should be extradited to the United States for
trial?
39. Do you
believe China’s Belt and Road Initiative is a form of
colonialism or is it a good program that Third World nations should sign up
for?
40. What
are you prepared to do if China invades Taiwan or uses military force to
assert its claims in the South China Sea?
41. Do you
believe the U.S. should return to the Iran nuclear deal? Would
you make further concessions to Iran to secure that? Do you believe the Iranian
regime should be allowed to buy weapons again?
42. Are
you pleased with the results of the Obama administration’s
intervention in Libya?
43. Why
did the Islamic State fold up so much more quickly under Trump
than the Obama administration predicted?
44. Would
you advise Arab nations to follow the UAE’s lead and make peace with Israel, or
should they hold out for big concessions to the Palestinians?
45. Should
the United States apologize for demanding NATO partners meet their
financial commitments? If not, why didn’t the Obama administration ever do
that?
