Kamala Harris had an incredible advantage not running for the nomination. Had she been vetted in the primaries we’d have learned more about her leftist beliefs. Not many people know that her parents were Marxist Ph.D.s who taught at UC Berkeley and Stanford.
Her father, John Harris, believed that Marxism made people better off despite evidence showing capitalist countries provide far better living standards for everyone along with freedom from oppression. The proof in the pudding is we achieved far higher living standards and an economy 11 times bigger than Russia whose GDP is only the size of Italy. Look for Kamala to boost government spending and inflation far higher than President Biden’s misnamed “Inflation Reduction Act.” Her failure as border czar no doubt stemmed from a desire to admit future noncitizen voters to achieve permanent one-party Democrat control.
That’s how desperate you are to get something, anything, on Kamala Harris, Ed, that you have to attack her parents! And can you imagine anything more shameful as having parents who taught at UC Berkeley and Stanford! Of course, they wouldn’t qualify for Trump U! Just their PhDs would be enough to disqualify them, of course, from that esteemed institution! Looks like you MAGA hatters have been infested with the Trump stupidity disease!
Btw., you must be so proud of your cult leader's performance at the NABJ! See how skillfully he eased out of knowing what a black person is! WOW!
Jorg, as usual your faux outrage is noted and immediately dismissed, along with your SS, DD (Same Shtick, Different Day) garbage. BTW, why was Harris scared to show up?
Why would Harris be scared to show up with Trump? That would a dream come true for her, while Trump had every reason to be scared, and he still is.
Behind the embarrassing NABJ story: Trump did not want to be fact-checked live and was refusing to go on stage, NABJ president Ken Lemon told Axios.
Trump's team said, 'Well, can you not fact check? He's not going to take the stage if you fact-check,'" Lemon said. Of course, Trump wouldn't want his lies to be publicly fact checked!
Yep, Trump is terrified of an actual debate. He will only do Faux News, which will agree not to fact-check him or to cut his microphone off. And then he will do the same mindless, racist word-salad that he demonstrated at the recent NABJ event where he did not even try to address a single question. When questions got too much for him, he did his usual accusation that the questioner was "nasty" (interestingly enough, a term he employs much more often with women).
I caught that too, Jorg,--how he immediately lied about why the event started late and he had asked them not to reveal that he was refusing to be fact-checked. They were about to cancel it when he finally agreed to go on, it was interesting then that he opened with falsely criticizing the organizers for the late start.
Jorg, you should be asking Harris, not me. Facts show Harris was scared to show up at the NABJ and is scared to debate our (yes, our) great President Trump in front of an arena, as Trump has proposed. Apparently what you call her dream is closer to a nightmare. As for fact checking, who’s going to fact check the fact checker? In fact, where’s the fact check for your Axios story? After all, this is Axios. BTW, speaking of scared… you ran out so quickly on the AR-15 LTE discussion the other day so you may have missed the comment from your friend, LittleFoot, regarding New Jersey’s ban on the AR-15 to be found unconstitutional. I guess those judges don’t buy into your flawed Second Amendment arguments (actually, nobody seems to).
Westy, Trump is terrified of an actual debate? I can’t see why since Trump thoroughly thrashed Biden and exposed Biden’s mental failings for the rest of the world to see. It seems to me that Harris is afraid of an “actual” debate because she’s afraid she’d be destroyed by Trump, possibly so much so that Dems will incite another insurrection and replace Harris with a better candidate. BTW, Harris is lucky she won’t have to debate Vance because Vance would also destroy Harris and expose her incompetence. Of course, Harris may be demoted down to VP so there's still a chance.
BTW, I hear Trump is holding another rally today in Atlanta for thousands of patriots. I think you still have time to tune in but don’t worry, if you miss it, Trump will hold more rallies. I think the next one is in Bozeman.
Trump is smart enough to not walk into a trap and agree to be Fact checked because he knew the "so called" fact checkers would be democrats. The same biased democrats who censor the truth, the same one's who made up a fake Russian collusion story, the same one's whose each sentence is biased, hate filled and certainly not factual. Sounds like I'm talking about our one and only emotionally outraged Jorg.
Jorg - she was invited but declined. She is just not ready for impromptu questions and will, as of today, not have any scheduled press conferences. You may have noticed that she is totally lost when she cannot read from a teleprompter or from prepared notes, just like Biden. She may be very smart but is far from articulate. She also advances policies that even you do not agree with. I think the Democrats can do much better and she should be forced to go through a nomination process.
I don't feel plagiarized. Terence is correct... it does look like you bugged out of the AR-15 discussion without addressing points that rebutted your posts. BTW... 66 persons were shot and killed in Chicago last month. That's a 27% increase over July 2023. Handguns, not AR-15s, were the firearm of choice. What's even more tragic is that the Democratic Party's leadership in Chicago has not addressed the causes of gun violence in the city they have controlled for decades.
Back to Kamala... when do you think she will finally do a press conference? It's been almost two weeks since she was anointed the DNC nominee.
Ray: So, you mean that the more or less gang related shootings in Chicago justify the school massacres? What do they have to do with each other, besides too free access to guns? Do the Chicago shootings justify the school shootings?
And I’ll let Kamala Harris speak for herself! She doesn’t need me as a spoke person. Instead, let’s wait for the upcoming debate between her and Trump, - if it even happens. We’ll see.
And why should I harp more on the AR-15 issue, except give you another chance to display your ingenious SS-DD?
You are a treasure. No response to legitimate uses for AR-style rifles. No response to the founders who established the individual right... not a collective right... to own firearms. We agree with the absolute necessity to keep firearms out of the hands of those who would use them for shooting others. However, you never fail to address the bigger problems of gun violence in American cities. Instead, you go straight to the same line about active shooters on school campuses. I say we pour resources into preventing those tragedies, but you never respond to why Democratic Party leadership fails to address the causes of gun violence in the cities they have controlled for decades. It's not for lack of money.
I understand why you're saying you cannot speak for Kamala, but you're missing the point... Kamala doesn't speak for Kamala... unless she's reading from a script. I will ask again... when do you think Kamala will hold a press conference?
Thanks for recognizing my "ingenious" commentary. Have a great Sunday!
So now "if it's true", then it's okay to attack children and parents? Your words not mine. So one, the facts regarding Kamala's parents were factual...Jorg Said "That’s how desperate you are to get something, anything, on Kamala Harris, Ed, that you have to attack her parents!" However, your comments regarding Jared Kushner were completely distorted. Kushner runs an investment corporation and he invested money, like Vanguard, etc... and it was ethical and legal, yet you inferred that Kushner was accepting money, was bribed, and was paid off by Middle Eastern countries which was and is factually 100% inaccurate. But that's what Ghost Man Jorg does, now please explain Lucy. Tell me how you were misquoted, how you did not distort the facts
Jared Kushner was not paid off as you inferred and did nothing wrong. AFTER leaving the White House, Kushner started an equity firm and Saudi individuals invested. You and the tabloids like to twist the truth, attack Kushner, defend Hunter and Briben for accepting $20 million is of little importance to Jorg and the left. At least you stopped calling Trump a rapist, but little George Stephanopoulos is going down.
Ed, as usual, your hit piece against Kamala is at odds with the facts. Her parents divorced when she was 7 and her father had little to do with the family thereafter. Hence whatever Marxist views he may have held would have had little to do with Kamala. Plus, Kamala's career as a prosecutor, upholding the existing laws of the country, is at odds of being a Marxist. The Biden “Inflation Reduction Act” is not misnamed. Since its passage inflation has come down to levels that existed prior to Covid and is the lowest among all developed countries. Her projected level of government spending is highly likely to be lower than Trump who had record levels of spending at $2T a year prior to Covid and his 4 years broke dubious records of spending prior. Finally, the “border czar” is not accurate as she had little to do with the border, but more to do with with working with the countries of origin of the immigrants. It is one thing to have an honest difference of opinion for a debate. It is quite another to knowingly spread falsehoods to try to enhance your brand.
Rei - By now, most people have probably researched Kamala and have heaps of data on her. But just in case, here's more clarification.......to add to Ed Kahl's accurate comments.
"Kamala Harris's childhood was significantly influenced by both her parents, who were both deeply involved in the civil rights movement and had strong intellectual and political backgrounds.
Her father, Donald J. Harris, is a prominent Jamaican-born economist who taught at Stanford University and was described as a "Marxist scholar" by the Stanford Daily. He incorporated the philosophies of economic thinkers such as Karl Marx into his teachings and was known for his critiques of mainstream economic theories from a leftist perspective. Donald Harris's Marxist leanings and his involvement in radical political economics were part of the intellectual environment that surrounded Kamala Harris during her early years.
Kamala's mother, Shyamala Gopalan, was a cancer researcher from India who was also deeply involved in civil rights activism. The couple met at the University of California, Berkeley, where they were both active in the civil rights and anti-Vietnam War protests of the 1960s. Kamala Harris was often taken to protests as a baby, reflecting her parents' commitment to social justice causes.
After her parents' divorce in 1971, Kamala was primarily raised by her mother, who ensured that Kamala and her sister embraced their multicultural heritage and were aware of their Black identity. This upbringing included attending both a Baptist church and a Hindu temple, and participating in early school integration programs. Despite the divorce, Kamala maintained a relationship with her father, visiting him during school holidays.
Overall, Kamala Harris's childhood was shaped by her parents' intellectual and political activism, particularly her father's Marxist influences and her mother's dedication to civil rights and multicultural education."
Lou, thank you, facts don't matter to Jorg... he / she will no go silent and in three weeks will return to his own vomit and delight us all with another emotional and hateful LTE.

Do you have Ray's permission to plagiarize him?
I didn't know Kamala was even invited to the NABJ. If she was, she may have staid away not to scare Trump!

But it's okay for Ghost Man Jorg to attack Trump's kids and in-laws?.... got it, hypocrite rings loud and clear.
You're fantasizing again, NutSo! When did I do that?
Now you can't remember when you ripped Jared Kushner... go check your comments.
So, what was NOT SO factually correct with it?
