Kamala Harris's border security weakness

When it comes to identifying her policy weaknesses, Kamala Harris has a blind spot the size of the Grand Canyon. Harris's policy blind spot is border security. It's manifested by her silence when Bret Baier asked her about the U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021

. According to the article, "It started when Baier, the host of Special Report on Fox News, asked Harris how many undocumented immigrants she thinks the Biden administration 'has released into the country over the last three and a half years.'" While Baier was finishing his question, Harris interrupted with the intent of shielding herself from Baier's question. She said "Bret, let's just get to the point. The point is that we have a broken immigration system that needs to be repaired." On Baier's first question, VP Harris wanted to immediately jump to her scripted reply about our "broken immigration system" without having to admit she helped Joe Biden break the system. The voters aren't interested in politicians who aren't willing to admit that they've made mistakes. Watching this is painful: If Harris didn't rely mainly on pre-scripted replies on border security, she might get the opportunity to restore a little of her credibility. Because she's rejected coming clean, she's lost what little was left of her credibility. Rita Panahi's commentary pon the interview is enjoyable:

What's enjoyable, if you're in the right frame of mind, is Harris's constant attempts to avoid responsibility and avoid answering the question. She kept returning to her go-to line of "I'm not finished." Baier brushed that line aside like it wasn't there. The fact that her go-to line didn't work like magic must've bothered her. After that opening exchange, VP Harris got angry. She wanted to talk generically about border security. The last thing she wanted to do was talk substantively about the topic. The truth is, I'm not certain that she's capable of that.

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue...

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp...

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio...
