JOE BIDEN THOUGHT KAMALA HARRIS WAS A CLONE - AND SHE IS! - Kamala Harris begins to sound like a Saturday Night Live parody of herself

WE CAN'T SAVE OUR NATION BY ELECTING SOCIOPATH GAMER LAWYERS TO RUN THE SHOW!


Kamala’s problem is that her scam was uninspiring, her invocations of victimhood unconvincing, and her brand was inauthentic. Leftists hate her because she’s phony and the establishment doesn’t want another Hillary. The Congressional Black Caucus resents her because of her covert campaign against Rep. Karen Bass. Her only allies in D.C. are on her payroll.

THE BIDEN KLEPTOCRACY

American people deserve to know what China was up to with Joe Biden, especially when Beijing had already shelled out millions of dollars to Biden family members — including millions in set-asides for “the big guy.” What else is on that infamous Hunter Biden laptop? The conflicted Biden Justice Department cannot be trusted to engage in any meaningful oversight on this issue. We need a special counsel now.                                                                      TOM FITTON - JUDICIAL WATCH

Biden’s Supreme Court Pick is a Racist Attack on the Constitution

It’s not about gender or race: it’s about power.

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.

When Biden announced that he would only consider black women for the Supreme Court, the vast majority of Americans rejected racial gatekeeping for the highest court in the land.

76% of Americans wanted him to consider all candidates regardless of their race and gender. Less than a quarter of the country wanted Biden to limit the nomination by race and gender. Even 54% of Democrats rejected Biden’s identity politics quotas and only 28% of non-whites were on board with his pledge to reject all other potential nominees based solely on their skin color.

After Biden’s announcement that he had chosen Ketanji Brown Jackson as his nominee, the majority of Americans continue to reject Biden’s racial determinism for the Supreme Court.

When asked to respond to a leading question by a Washington Post/ABC News poll as to whether, “having a black woman as a justice on the U.S. Supreme Court would be a good thing for the country, a bad thing for the country, or would make no difference?”, the majority, or 48%, correctly concluded that it would make no difference. 45%, a number largely made up of the 78% of Democrats, insisted that somehow Jackson’s race would transform the country.

The majority of Americans know better.

The boring truth about Ketanji Brown Jackson is that, like so many other judges, she’s just another Harvard grad, born with a silver spoon in her mouth, and raised by a prominent attorney. Much like Hollywood trying to make the same old movies and shows exciting by recasting the characters as black, Jackson is the same old judicial activist in a new color.

Biden, who had twice blocked and filibustered the nomination of Judge Janice Rogers, a well-qualified black female judge nominated by the Bush administration, over her pro-Constitution views, and his political and media allies who are even now waging a concerted war against Justice Clarence Thomas, the only currently serving black justice whose nomination they had tried to block, are cynically tokenizing Jackson’s nomination as a shining new beacon of racial progress. As if having a black female justice will accomplish something historic that having multiple black male justices and female justices of other races had failed to achieve.

We do know why Biden picked Jackson and it wasn’t because of her gender or race. While Biden will no doubt enjoy occasionally leaning in to sniff her hair as he shows her around, the real litmus test wasn’t to be found in her skin color or in an examination of her chromosomes.

Biden picked Jackson for the same reason that he fought to keep Judge Janice Rogers off the Court of Appeals which would potentially have put her on a pathway to the Supreme Court.

As legal scholar Jonathan Turley notes, leftists wanted a nominee “willing to expand the meaning of the Constitution without constitutional amendments”.

The choice had come down to Judge J. Michelle Childs, who had the backing of not only Democrats, but some Republicans, and of Senator Manchin, because she is a moderate, and Ketanji Brown Jackson who has a history of constitutional violations and abusive power grabs.

Demand Justice, the radical leftist Soros group, which had boasted of “bullying” Justice Breyer off the bench, had ordered Biden to nominate Ketanji Brown Jackson instead of Childs.

Biden met with both Childs and Jackson and what he truly wanted to know was whether they would be loyal to the Constitution, or to him, and to the radical leftists standing behind him who want to transform America by perverting the Constitution into a mandate for unlimited power.

As Turley again notes, “Biden stressed that his nominee must follow a ‘living constitution’ approach, including a broad view of ‘unenumerated rights.’ When asked if she supported such an approach, Childs answered "no." Jackson, in contrast, has been far more obscure and conflicted in her response.”

When it comes to Supreme Court nominees, anything other than a “no” is really a “yes”.

Will a Justice Jackson change the Supreme Court and the country? Yes, but not because of her race. Race is the least interesting thing about Jackson and yet it’s what we will hear the most about because it is a convenient distraction from her radical and secretive judicial philosophy.

With little in the way of written materials and responses to big picture constitutional questions that have her playing dumb, Jackson is an anti-constitutional trojan horse flying the false flag of identity politics. As if nominating a Harvard grad who happens to be a black woman, as opposed to a white man, is some sort of great step forward for the wretched of the earth.

Biden is not using his court nomination, which his Soros backers at Demand Justice secured by, in their own words, “bullying” a liberal Jewish justice off the Supreme Court, to uphold identity politics. He has militantly opposed at least one black female justice, and was able to choose between two black female judges, nominating the one that fits a radical leftist agenda.

Biden clearly doesn’t believe his own rhetoric about the Supreme Court being in dire need of a black female judge. The only ones dumb enough to believe it are MSNBC viewers who gobble up the black nationalist ravings of Ibram X. Kendi and Ta-Nehisi Coates and cheer Black Lives Matter mobs as they burn down cities every time a drug dealer gets rightfully shot by police.

But identity politics covers up a multitude of sins. Just ask Black Lives Matter, which was able to operate a $60 million fund on terms that would have seen a neighborhood bodega shut down in minutes. Even white Antifa rioters were able to terrorize Portland for a year because they claimed to be attacking police officers and federal officials in the name of racial justice.

Biden has mastered the art of deflecting criticism of his corruption and incompetence by using black women as human shields. It began with Kamala Harris, who was grossly unready to serve in the White House, but whose nomination made a ticket headed by an old white hack seem transformational and whose continued presence makes it all but impossible to remove or bypass Biden from an office that he is equally unfit to occupy on ethical and moral grounds.

The only reason Biden picked Jackson is because he believes that she will be loyal to him, not to the Constitution and to her oath of office. He also expects to sweep away any objections to her radicalism by having his media accuse critics of racism and sexism. And once Jackson taints the Supreme Court with her corrupt presence on the bench, any opposition to her views by the rest of that body, including by Justice Thomas, will also be denounced as sexist racism.

Or occasionally racist sexism, just to shake things up.

Much like Justice Sotomayor, the original “Wise Latina”, whose gender and Southern European ancestry somehow endowed her with a wisdom that transcended her poor legal reasoning, Jackson’s “lived experience” will be used to claim that she possesses insights on account of the combination of her gender and race that we ought to submit to in place of the actual law.

The good news is that Americans aren’t buying it. Polls show that the people are rejecting the racial determinism that is being used to trade away our rights for racial privileges. As the Supreme Court prepares to consider the unconstitutional racial discrimination of affirmative action, most Americans have once again come to believe in a color-blind legal system.

Americans know that what really matters isn’t gender or race, it’s equal rights under the law.

Biden’s selection process and his nomination have been an insult to the very idea of equal rights. Even if he installs his insult on the Supreme Court, it will never change the Constitution.



Kamala Harris begins to sound like a Saturday Night Live parody of herself


After seeing what a real leader looks like -- in Ukraine -- we return to our regularly scheduled clown show back in Washington.

Which brings us to Kamala Harris, who was introduced by Jill Biden as "President Harris" (a joke, of course) ahead of President Biden's State of the Union address Tuesday. 

She came out to speak, and well, see if you disagree with the guy who created this tweet: 

 

She does sound like a parody of herself -- flip, sarcastic, drunk-ish, gulping, self-satisfied, signature giggles thrown in -- and not at all serious. 

...because was we all know, elections matter.  And when folks vote, they order what they want. And in this case, they got what they asked for! (applause, cackle) I went off script a little bit... 

Fox News's Tammy Bruce was flabbergasted, too:

 

 

She added: 

Her tone about “getting what we asked for” seems to imply we deserve what they’re doing to us. Even the audience doesn’t know how to react.

This is sorry stuff in a vice president at a critical time -- the very vice president who was sent to Munich to persuade Russia not to invade Ukraine. After that failure, she ought to be hiding her head in shame or presenting a sober picture of some kind of newfound gravitas. Instead, she sounds utterly flip and unserious -- like a satire of herself -- like the vice presidency is a joke and her speech is an opening act -- except that it's now being done by a hostile comic actor.

What a strange sense of unreality must be descending upon the White House. These people are an embarassment. They would stupefy the comedy writers of Saturday Night Live. Imagine Kate MacKinnon trying to imitate that. All she'd be able to do is copy her. How could any such satirist in that field top this?

Kamala Harris Goes Off Script: Folks Voted for Joe Biden and ‘Got What They Asked For’

Vice President Kamala Harris went off script on Monday in a speech at an event at the White House celebrating Black History Month to remind black Democrats that their vote for Joe Biden was not misplaced.

“Because as we all know, elections matter. And when folks vote, they order what they want, and in this case, they got what they asked for,” Harris said.

The vice president riffed off her prepared speech for Black History Month after the crowd cheered her mention of President Joe Biden choosing a black woman, Ketanji Brown Jackson, as his Supreme Court nominee.

“I went off script a little bit,” she admitted with a laugh, before continuing with her speech.

During the event Harris and Biden highlighted everything they had done for the black community and how they had made sure black Americans were represented in the White House and cabinet.

In his remarks, Biden stumbled over the pronunciation of his United States ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield calling her “Linda Greenhouse” before correcting himself.

They also promoted the right to vote, criticizing Congress for failing to move forward to federalize elections in response to election integrity laws passed by state and local Republicans.

“Pass the Freedom to Vote Act. We can do this!” Biden shouted. “The American people agree with us. Black and white! Hispanic and all!”

10. There is no crisis at the Border – Think of what’s happening at the border not as a crisis but an opportunity -- for Democrats to import a new electorate. Those midnight flights to relocate thousands of illegals across the country is an urban legend. Pictures of illegal encampments just south of the border – an optical illusion. Just ask Vice President Harris. She was close to the border -- once.

She hasn’t disappointed them. They say the role of a vice president is to make the President look good. Kamala has unknowingly been stellar on that front, her incompetence has made Biden appear unimpeachable.

As Sinbad the Biden spins his yarns, in thousands of ways a million times a day, life gets harder and harder for the average American. Unlike Biden’s fractured fairy tales, Rapunzel and the Little Mermaid didn’t come with trillion-dollar price tags attached.

The root cause of Kamala's root cause is...the root cause

The president of the United States, Kamala Harris (not a typo), went south of the border to improve the lives of aliens of other nations — and, while at it, to advance the destruction of the lives of citizens north of the border.

Harris was so enamored of Honduras's and Guatemala's Root Causes that she was willing to forego the root causes of America's problems.  These are to be resolved after America was built back by speaking Spanish better than before the root causes were questioned in English.

Harris explained to her comatose fans — er, I mean audiences, between uncontrolled fits of giggles, snorts, and chuckles, that the migration of illegals, also known as undocumented Democrat voters, were not the "root causes" of the ROOT CAUSES she could not explain.

She accomplished her word salad while giggling and looking for the root causes clearly visible but left unseen in the mirror on her powder room wall.

She tried to unconfuse the complexities of it all among giggles, chuckles, incoherence, and snorts, to impress upon the world at large that she, the leader of the Free World, has it all under control.

Hers is a position for which she is so obviously well suited.  So she started to explain THE ROOT CAUSES. And again here, THE ROOT CAUSES.

The Harris-Biden administration (not a typo even a whole year later) is heavily into fixing the ROOT CAUSES they caused themselves.

Or finding the roots of the root causes.

As we watched America being overwhelmed by over two million undocumented Democrats deliberately invited by the Harris-Biden administration so the nation can better enjoy its very own root causes (even as some of the root causes from Afghanistan fell off departing planes leaving Kabul Airport), Kamala's pre-prepared talking points incoherently read off Obama's teleprompter about Root Causes now appear to be the one of the ROOT CAUSES themselves.

Apparently, President Harris never figured out that the solutions for the Root Causes were already in place along our southern border in miles of tall walls of concrete and steel.  She failed to calculate the numbers, too.  For keeping the solutions to the Root Causes would have cost the nation far less than President Kamala's repeated trips south of the border to visit the Root Causes.

Also, she didn't bother to calculate what it would cost for America to be paying ad infinitum for the Root Causes she brought back with her.

The solution was obvious from the get-go: finishing up Trump's wall would have ended the incoherent talk about Root Causes before the talk began and the Root Causes could have ended America.

The Root Causes that were already resolved on January 19, 2021, suddenly became unresolvable by January 20, 2021, the date the building of the wall that would have resolved the ROOT CAUSES permanently was stopped by executive order.

This, to make sure the ROOT CAUSES of undocumented Democrats voting twice and three times even will continue, even if belatedly President Harris and her party discovered the root causes of their defeat in November 2024.

At that point, the various root causes, along with the daily talking points about the root causes of other people's problems, may finally end.  These, too, along with the root causes of the January 6 takeover of the People's House by "Nazis" and "white supremacists" formerly called Americans who are not The People.

In THE ROOT CAUSES of THE ROOT CAUSE, Harris brilliantly explains as clearly as she's capable, why she's the president of the United States looking for Root Causes.

To the degree that Kamala's ROOT CAUSES have kept America in suspense for a whole year as the election season of 2022 began, by redefining the meaning of "is," and as we Americans finally get some relief and insight, the cited video into the Root Causes of the ROOT CAUSE will remind us all about the real Root Cause of America's problems.

Immigrant Population Hits Record 46.6 Million
One in seven U.S. residents is foreign-born, highest share in 112 years
Washington, D.C. (February 23, 2022) – A Center for Immigration Studies analysis of the Census Bureau’s monthly household survey shows that the total immigrant population (legal and illegal together) grew 1.6 million in the last year, hitting 46.6 million in January 2022 – the highest number ever in American history. Immigrants, also referred to as the “foreign-born”, include all persons who were not U.S. citizens at birth. The new numbers are important because, unlike arrival figures for legal immigrants or border apprehensions, the household survey directly measures the number of foreign-born people living in the country, which is what ultimately determines immigration’s impact on American society.

Steven Camarota, the Center’s director of research and co-author of the report, pointed out that, “The enormous number of people now settling in the country reflects both our permissive legal immigration system and the decision not to control illegal immigration. Unfortunately, our national leaders seldom, if ever, ask the most important question: is this historic growth in the interest of the American people?”
 
  • The number of immigrants in the country grew 1.6 million from January 2021 to January 2022.
 
  • The recent growth reflects a dramatic rebound in the numbers. Between February and August of 2020 the number of immigrants (legal and illegal) in the country declined by 1.2 million as a result of Covid-19 travel restrictions.
 
  • Hispanic immigrants accounted for 70 percent (1.1 million) of the increase in the foreign-born in the last year, indicating that a large share of growth was likely caused by illegal immigration. The federal government and outside researchers have estimated about three-quarters of illegal immigrants are Hispanic.
 
  • As a share of the total population, immigrants were 14.2 percent of the total population — the highest percentage in 112 years.
 
  • If present trends continue, the immigrant share of the population will likely surpass the all-time highs reached in 1890 (14.8 percent) and 1910 (14.7 percent) in the next few years.
 
  • In addition to the immigrants themselves, their U.S.-born children also have an impact. In January of 2022 there were 63.5 million immigrants and their U.S.-born children (<18) in the country, accounting for nearly one in five U.S. residents.
 
  • States with the largest increase in the immigrant population from January 2020 to January 2022 are Florida (up 531,000), Virginia (up 268,000), Texas (up 263,000), California (up 212,000), Indiana (up 205,000), Tennessee (up 198,000) and New Jersey (up 183,000).

The Decline and Fall of Kamala Harris

She thought she was a queen, but she was only a pawn.

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.

The end of the Obama era renewed the civil war between the Democrat establishment and the Socialist insurgents. Hillary Clinton, the establishment woman whose loss to Obama had inaugurated 8 years of insurgent rule, faced down a new challenge from the Sanders insurgency.

The next round of the fight in 2020 was a virtual draw with black voters choosing Biden and white lefties backing Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. The Biden administration was a compromise between both wings of the party. Its senior members are establishment while many of their juniors are Warren allies or linked to the Congressional Black Caucus.

JOE BIDEN: THE DEMOCRAT PARTY'S MENTAL BRIBES SUCKER

Biden was a useful compromise candidate because his age and mental condition made him a “one-and-done” politician whose administration would take the hit by implementing radical policies and coping with the political fallout from the pandemic and runaway inflation.

Except that Biden, who keeps promising to run again, doesn’t seem to know it.

The only member of his administration who is even more clueless than Joe is Kamala. The compromise that put her in the White House was the most misguided one of them all.

Biden had promised the Congressional Black Caucus a black female veep. The CBC wanted one of its own, particularly Rep. Karen Bass, but considering her Castro sympathies and general leftist radicalism, that would have meant writing off Florida and the rest of America.

Instead, Biden, in his only clever move, picked Kamala, a failed primary opponent, not because she was popular, but because she was unpopular. Rather than an affirmation, Biden went over the protests of his own people to select a political human shield. The party of identity politics would never pressure him to step down to make way for this particular “black woman”.

On the political chessboard, Kamala functioned as Biden’s incompetent queen. Her unpopularity protected Biden from any political pressure to step down, but also blocked potential opponents from trying to replace him. When Buttigieg’s efforts to build a platform for a presidential run inside the White House became too public, Kamala brought out the race card.

Kamala was too unpopular to run and too rich with identity politics to be cut out of the race.

Picking Kamala was a brilliant move for Biden. Not so much for Kamala. The mediocre political hack, rapidly elevated to the Senate and then the Veepdom, has little experience in D.C., few political skills, and is incapable of even running any kind of basic organization. The same qualities that wrecked her presidential campaign also devastated her vice presidency.

KAMALA HARRIS, THE LYING SOCIOPATH LAWYER. SHE CAN STAGE HERSELF AS A BORN AGAIN 'POPULIST' AS SHE SERVES BANKSTERS AND WALL STREET FOR THE BRIBES!

After her campaign collapsed into feuding between her staff and her sister, history is repeating itself. And once again Kamala can’t decide if she wants to be a radical or a moderate, and is trying to be all things to all people. Like her campaign flip-flopping on socialized medicine, she veers between open borders and immigration enforcement rhetoric, between demonizing Israel and conducting outreach to Jews, without being able to pick a platform and stick with it.

DYNAMICS OF A SOCIOPATH: THERE IS NOTHING THERE. NO VALUES, NO CORE BELIEVES, AND THE ABILITY TO LIE ABOUT ANYTHING.

Kamala Harris is far from the only Washington D.C. politician who doesn’t believe in anything, but it’s her inconsistency that makes her appear phony and insincere even to her own people. Her opportunism has always been too blatant to conceal under fake idealism, even more transparently artificial identity politics, or a truly implausible “ordinary woman” facade.

HILLARY AND KAMALA: BOTH LYING SOCIOPATH LAWYERS ON THE TAKE.

That’s the Hillary problem. And the establishment already made two bad bets on Hillary.

In a party deeply divided between radicals and establishment types, Kamala tried and failed to win the support of both, but is coming away with the support of neither. No one likes her and no one trusts her. And the campaign to undermine her is being waged subtly, but effectively.

Kamala’s top people are leaving because everyone in D.C. understands that she doesn’t have a future. Staffers work for politicians whom they expect will be able to advance their careers. It’s become obvious even among the third and fourth tier people around Kamala that she isn’t going anywhere. And no one with any ambition is likely to stick around and follow her off to the exit.

No longer a senator and a veep no one wants to see in the big chair, she has nowhere to go.

2024 Democrat candidates are making it plain that they don’t see either Biden or Kamala as political threats. In what other administration could a cabinet member like Buttigieg keep his own PAC going for a potential future presidential run against his own boss and Kamala?

This isn’t just palace intrigue, it’s a palace coup.

Buttigieg isn’t the only Democrat aiming at 2024. Senator Cory Booker is going to New Hampshire. Senator Bernie Sanders says that there’s only a “slim” chance he’ll run, but Nina Turner, his campaign co-chair, declared that, “If President Joe Biden does not seek reelection for whatever reason, that makes this a totally open seat. Period,”

As a black woman, Turner is immune to Kamala’s race card even while warning that the Sanders camp will not respect any kind of incumbency by Kamala. That’s not a coincidence.

BUTTIGIEG IS TRULY AN 'ESTABLISHMENT CANDIDATE' AND IS A CLONE OF BIDEN. FROM DAY ONE PETE WAS UP HIGH TECH'S ASS AND PROMISED OPEN BORDERS AND AMNESTY FOR MORE 'CHEAP' LABOR THE TRUE COST OF WHICH IS PASSED ALONG TO MIDDLE AMERICA

Both sides expect 2024 to reopen the Democrat civil war. Buttigieg is positioning himself as the establishment candidate and even if the Sanders camp doesn’t run their figurehead, they will likely turn up another candidate to build a completely unearned cult of personality around.

Where does that leave Kamala? Just like in the primaries, nowhere.

Too clueless to realize that her plum job was really a put-up job, Kamala has finally reached the pinnacle of her profession only to discover that it’s really a dead end. If the country continues to be an economic and medical mess, the last thing anyone will want is Biden or his political prop.

Instead, Democrats are likely to embrace a radical change candidate and run against themselves. In an age where the establishment Democrats are just a more moderate breed of radical, the difference between the establishment and the socialists is only skin deep.

But skin deep differences are how voters get scammed by the same political hacks.

Kamala’s problem is that her scam was uninspiring, her invocations of victimhood unconvincing, and her brand was inauthentic. Leftists hate her because she’s phony and the establishment doesn’t want another Hillary. The Congressional Black Caucus resents her because of her covert campaign against Rep. Karen Bass. Her only allies in D.C. are on her payroll.

And that’s not a good place to be.

Kamala thought she was boarding an elevator to the White House, but instead she’s a puppet in the middle of a civil war that she is uniquely incapable of participating in, let alone winning.

Kamala Harris thought she was a queen, now she’s realizing that she’s only a pawn.
