“Poor people have been voting Democrat for years, and they’re still poor.” Charles Barkley

It is disappointing in politics that nearly all of the candidates are insecure. Afraid to be themselves.
It’s why Kamala Harris repeats over and over that she was “a middle-class kid.” And with “outsider” Donald Trump, what you see is what you get.
If you read Kamala Harris’ life story, it’s a nice one.
She lived in pretty houses. She had two very talented parents.
Her late mother, Shyamala, was a prominent breast cancer researcher. Her father is a professor emeritus at Stanford University, and a self-described Marxist economist.
Kamala and her sister Maya traveled the world with their parents.
That’s her story.
Donald Trump’s father was a self-made man. He made his own money with his business skills, and so did his son.
Trump never told his story any differently from what it was.
The good, the bad and the ugly.
As that political outsider, Trump knows how to face the music, whatever the tune.
It is how he was able to get through lawfare trials, impeachments and two assassination attempts.
During the Trump/Harris debate, Kamala contrasted her upbringing with The Donald’s.
She nastily claimed he “was handed $400 million dollars on a silver platter.”
She was saying she had it hard and he didn’t.
Actually, all she did was highlight that Trump’s dad built houses during the 1920’s, gave his son money to start his own career, and Donald turned the money into billions.
Not many people could do that.
Joe Biden didn’t. His son Hunter didn’t.
And neither did Kamala.
All of them depended on the “kindness of strangers” to advance their careers.
You can accuse Democrats of a lot of things, but the real problem is they don’t know what a real issue is. And how to prioritize.
During the Obama administration, State Department Spokesman Marie Harf, explained how ISIS should be treated. That’s the terrorist group Obama called “the J.V. team.”
“We cannot win this war by killing them,” Harf said in 2014.
“We cannot kill our way out of this war. We need, in the longer term to go after the root causes that lead people to join these groups – whether it’s lack of opportunity to jobs.”
Intimating that jobs and opportunity would dissuade people from joining the group, and thus prevent terrorism.
She said this at a time when ISIS was beheading captives. An ISIS terrorist nicknamed Jihadi John, had journalist James Foley renounce the U.S., then beheaded him.
The beheadings were video-taped.
It was the first time that Americans saw anything as uncivilized as that. But that's who these people are. Uncivilized.
It was the first time Americans learned what the word Jihad meant in the Islamist-terrorist community.
Harf is still around. Now she’s called a “national political commentator,” and appears on FOX as a token Democrat.
Now she says the most important presidential issue today is abortion.
Back in 2021, Kamala was on the hunt for “root causes,” too.
Joe had made her the Border Czar, and tasked her with the job of tackling the surge of illegal immigrants across the U.S. southern border.
Kamala told reporters she was going to look at the “root causes.”
She visited Mexico and gave them money.
She went to Guatemala, and told people there “Don’t come,” to the U.S. illegally anymore.
She went everywhere. Except the U.S. border…and Europe.
Today, as the world stands on the brink of a third world war;
As crime proliferates in American cities;
As Americans experience terrifying inflation and debt;
And as her political opponent is threatened with assassination, Kamala, like Marie Harf, says the most important policy issue facing the country is abortion.
That’s the kind of thing Kamala says, when she says anything at all.
Hold the line, America.
Stay strong, Patriots.
