“Explain it to me like I’m Kamala Harris” should be a thing

Expand full comment

I understand and appreciate the wit and wisdom of your comment, but upon reflection, it falls a bit short. Trying to explain something to Kamala, or one of her acolytes is an impossible task if the explanation is not congruent with their preconceived notions. It is like trying to explain something in English to someone who only speaks Chinese. One is tempted to explain louder, but to no avail. It only results in frustration.

She has no interest in your explanation. She’s not even interested in what she’s saying herself. She’s just playing a role.

Kamala Harris finally breaks down and visits a remote part of North Carolina.

With news crews following her around as they tour the place, the Vice President asks the local Mayor if there was anything they needed.

"Well," says the Mayor, "We have three very important needs.

"First, we have a medical clinic but no doctor to staff it."

Harris whips out her cellphone, dials a number, talks to somebody for two minutes, and then hangs up. "I've pulled some strings. Your doctor will arrive in a few days. Now, what was the second problem?"

"We have no way to get clean water. The hurricane has poisoned the water our people have been drinking for dozens of years. We've been flying bottled water in, and it's terribly expensive."

Once again, Harris dials a number, yells into her cellphone for a few minutes, and then hangs up. "I've opened some roads for water delivery, and we are setting up a water purification plant for your people. Now, what was that third problem?"

The Mayor looks at her and says, "We have no cellphone reception up here!"

Actually, she was "prepared" to answer every question with, "But Trump..." This has been perfectly acceptable in her encounters with friendly media, but seems not to have made a similar impression on Mr. Baier.

"She seems to become more stupid each day! " That she does. I would attribute that to the spotlight she suddenly finds herself under. She's coasted along for so many years and through so many jobs--for which she wasn't qualified or capable of handling-- that this sudden attention is exposing the real Kamala Harris.

Obama needed someone dumber than him as VP so he selected Biden. Biden needed someone dumber than him as VP so he selected Kamala. Kamala needed someone dumber than her as VP. There was only Walz.

Right on--- and interesting of course. The "one heart beat away from the Presidency" line is I guess no longer important now that the DEMS simply annoint people for office. So, let's say Kamala gets elected and then something happens to her and Walz is next up. Will he ascend to the Presidency or not? My guess is that the party moguls will simply annoint the next player they can control. Walz is probably un-controllable unless you send him out of the country with a boat load of money. He defines "loose-cannon".

Kamala is a spoiled brat and you saw that in the interview. She tried to rope-a-dope her way through it by insulting Donald Trump over and over, refusing to answer for the current Adminjstration’s bad policies, and spewing nonsense about things she’s going to do that are not remotely possible or helpful for her to do. She usually gets no pushback from the MSM, but Baier, who I do not like, actually did his job and persisted in demanding answers, to his credit.

But who advises her - she was totally unprepared. Either she didn’t prepare or she got bad advice. I think it’s a combination of both. You saw the arrogance come through. But she also can’t think on her feet. She repeats the same note over and over again. Who told her that just insulting Trump for 20 minutes would get her the Presidency? She looked like what she is, a shrill, not particularly intelligent, angry person who was not in control of the situation.

You want that person making national decisions of urgent significance? She’s had 4 years to show us something. She’s shown us she’s a partisan entitled whiner who has zero leadership qualities and zero accomplishments. No more upward failure for this harpy. Show her the door.Kamala’s phony DEI rhetoric translates from the Commie newspeak to English as: This person is unqualified and malicious.

Allow me to comment before I finish reading Don's fascinating post. Kamala is losing because of the Democrats death grip on unrestricted abortion, and Nancy pelosi's shenanigans on taking over Washington DC. Her experiment on dangerous on vetted illegals being welcomed into the country was simply for the reason to take over the US. Everything that they have railed about on Donald Trump they now are adopting.

I did not pick Donald Trump, but I prayed for a man such as him to reduce the burden on taxpayers. He's absolutely right about himself. He is a stable genius. By shifting the fundraising from taxes to tariffs and aggressively seeking ways to bring industry back to the United States will be our countries salvation.

To be honest, when he first announced His candidacy for presidency I shouted no loudly at the television and was about to rail on him when I thought I felt the finger of God on my lips, and I immediately realized he was going to win. But he won me over with his tariff policy. I know for a fact that he drove business back to America because my stepson was working for a company out of Taiwan and as soon as it was obvious that Donald was in charge, his company built a plant in Dearborn of 1400 employees. After working for Elon Musk for 6 months and fisker for 6 months, a headhunter lined him up with these people in Taiwan. One time when we were taking him to the airport, because he's based in Detroit but works a lot in California, as he got into the car he was blathering that Donald Trump is the best president ever, for the reason I just mentioned. So put that in your pipe and smoke it. MAD DOG

So far, nobody has mentioned that before Wilson invented the income tax, tariffs on imported goods were the federal government's main source of income; today they are only 2 percent or so. But I'd gladly go back to those days, when the American economy boomed to become the world's biggest.

Just a note for those in the media who blare their ignorance by saying that somehow "tariffs will call more inflation."

INFLATION IS DUE TO MONETARY POLICY. (because the money supply is increasing ("inflating"))

TARIFFS ARE FISCAL POLICY.

What they really mean is that tariffs might contribute to a "supply shock" and that in turn will cause prices of certain goods to increase, but prices going up is not the definition of inflation. Anyone who says that and uses that definition is displaying their ignorance of economics.

Despite the opinions of the Rolling Stone, the audience at the Chicago Economic Forum gave Trump a STANDING OVATION at the end of his talk. They get it.

Because Democrats are basically economic morons (See Paul Krugman), they can never understand basic concepts like supply and demand so how the heck are they going to understand a nuanced issue like tariffs. To. them, everything is a zero sum game, but like most things economic issues are dynamic in nature and there can be win-win scenarios if one is clever enough to understand the big picture. Trump understands the big picture, Kamala and her flock do not.

The media, who hate Trump or more precisely, they hate what Trump represents, use tariffs like a red herring rather than talk about the real issue which is "do we want to make a foreign country's economy prosper or do we want to make our economy prosper"? Tariffs are just a tool to achieve a desired end. We can't fix nor are we responsible for every country's economy. The president should only be interested in safeguarding one economy......ours. But the leftist media don't care about the American worker, they only use the American worker when they need them. I don't have a clue what is going to happen on the world stage. Foreign countries are not the priority of most Americans. What is important is American jobs and you cannot have a strong America if you are importing most of what America needs daily. The "one world order" guys don't get to decide what happens to the world. Individual country's should decide what happens within their borders based on the will of the citizenry. The tariff issue is just being used as a wedge by the left/globalists crowd to affect the elections and thus the direction of the country. If Trump can win and enact his repairs, it will spell the end, at least for the short term, for the globalist mega-rich gang because it will enable other country's to do likewise and protect their economies. The left knows this is a do or die election for them. Vote "R" and vote often.

Thanks again Don, for keeping abreast of the rags I’ll never read. I never agreed with Rolling Stone’s opinions on music back when they stuck to their knitting. I was sad when it became clear the Duke Lacrosse team would not own them after that defamation case verdict. I still have a bias against Matt Taibi from his days working for them. The Milthwaite beating was a thing of beauty. Anytime anyone says “economists say…” they need to be reminded of John Kenneth Galbraith’s (a famous dead economist, so he can’t opine any more) observation “the only function of economic forecasting is to make astrology look respectable.” Now I’m going to have to watch Brett Baier’s interview since I don’t watch Fox (“Fox News is television for stupid people” - Stephen K. Bannon, political prisoner). As for your first poll, Kamalalama Ding Dong has done more to support the repeal of the 19th than anyone. Hillary has done more for late-term abortion. That hag is in her what, 231st trimester now? What a missed opportunity. And Howard Lutnick is a gem who should be trotted out more. But I understand he has an important day job.

I was not looking forwards to spending a whole hour watching the Bret Baier-Kamala interview-- but it is actually only 26 minutes. It is well worth seeing, because essentially there IS no response to Bret Baier's excellent common sense questions, so Kamala had to literally shout over Bret with her pre-rehearsed non-stop barrage of "Trump is the Great Satan".
