The Desperation of Kamala Harris

Last week, we shared our thoughts in a piece called “The Fall of Barack Hussein Obama” and addressed his desperation to preserve his leftist legacy. That same desperation is what we see now in the flailing campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris. It was not too long ago that everyone was calling for a tamping down of the rhetoric after an assassination attempt on Republican presidential nominee and former President Donald Trump. Well, that did not last long, and that sentiment has certainly been cast aside.

Ms. Harris’ desperation is evident in her and the leftist, insidious rhetoric again of Donald Trump being dangerous, unstable, unhinged, unfit, a threat, Hitler, a fascist. It is apparent that since Kamala Harris has no regrets, a piece we shared about these past three and a half years, her policies are nothing different. So the last resort, a political hail Mary, is to go right back to the demonization and hyperbolic rantings about Trump.

But who is the real danger, threat, and fascist?

The policies of the past three and a half years have been abjectly dangerous for America and even the world. Under the Trump administration, there was no high inflation. We were energy-independent. We had operational control of our border. There was peace in the Middle East. Ukraine was not being invaded. Iran was practically bankrupt. And, there was no collusion between the Trump administration and private sector media outlets to censor Americans’ free speech.

Now we have Kamala Harris going out and regurgitating the questionable words of retired U.S. Marine General John Kelly.

What happened to the campaign of joy and aspiration? Well, that lofty rhetoric does not mean anything when Americans are being assaulted and killed by illegals. It is worthless when the world is on fire. So, what is the alternative course of action? Just relaunch the campaign of personal destruction.

Kamala Harris is so desperate to continue her laughable fraud of the American people, much like Obama. She has evidenced a lack of depth and understanding of critical issues. She has no focus other than being able to repeat well-rehearsed, empty, scripted lines. Now, of course, the acolytes of leftism would say that I am just the black face of white supremacism, more foolish blather. Joe Biden has already asserted that I am not Black since I am not voting for him. Barack Hussein Obama weakly attempted to chastise Black men like me, suggesting sexism. These are all indicators of the desperation of these disciples of central government control, and is evidenced by Kamala Harris.

If anything, Kamala Harris should be seen as an embarrassment to Blacks, to women, and in general, to America. It is the politics of the participation trophy and entitlement based upon skin color and gender, the latter of which the left cannot define, based upon their own words. And when the participation trophy is threatened the final act of desperation is to attack those who would take it away.

It is absurd for Kamala Harris to castigate Donald Trump as a dictator. I do not recall Trump ever mandating what Americans must buy. I do not recall Trump purposefully violating the U.S. Constitution as she and Joe Biden have done with our border and relieving college student loan debt. I do not recall Trump leaving $80B of US military equipment to a known Islamic terrorist organization…or putting US troops in an untenable situation where they lost their lives.

I do not recall Trump ever weaponizing the federal government against the American people, not even during the “summer of love in 2020” when leftists were burning down American cities. I do recall Kamala Harris raising bail money for the violent insurrectionists and Tim Walz doing nothing while Minneapolis burned. Even today, the Biden-HARRIS DOJ is bringing a lawsuit against the Commonwealth of Virginia for cleaning its voting rolls of non-citizens. Who is a threat to our representative democracy?

Kamala Harris will be making her final plea next week for electoral patronage. Just a simple question: who allowed the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua into America? And somehow, we are to believe that Donald Trump is a danger and a threat to America? The politics of fear-mongering is not a successful strategy, but it does show the desperation of Kamala Harris…she doesn’t have any compelling reason to vote for her.

Steadfast and Loyal.
