The Problem With Kamala Harris In Six Numbers

On Monday, Issues & Insights posted an article listing six numbers that are a problem for the Kamala Harris campaign.

These are the numbers:

1. $17,080 – According to the House Budget Committee, that $17,080 was, as of this summer, the annual Harris-Biden “inflation tax” on the average American household.

2. 662,566 – U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has copped to having more than 600,000 illegals with criminal backgrounds on its national docket…

3. 323,000 – 32,000 unaccompanied children who, according to the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Homeland Security, did not appear for court dates between fiscal years 2019 and 2023 – and 291,000 who never even received Notices to Appear during that period? For whom ICE admits it has “no assurance” that they “safe from trafficking, exploitation, or forced labor?”

4. 0 – Kamala’s commitment to net zero – from which she has not backed off, and cannot without a revolt in her radical progressive base – amounts to the fracking ban she claims is not in the cards.

5. and 6. $6.75 trillion and 5,044 – The former represents federal outlays for fiscal 2024. The latter is the number of nuclear warheads in the U.S. arsenal. No sane individual would make this woman-child (and watch the last 20 seconds in particular), the chief executive in control of an enterprise of this size with this level of firepower.

On November 5th, the voters will decide whether or not these numbers are acceptable.

An Outsider?

On Wednesday, Scott Johnson posted an article at Power Line Blog about Kamala Harris campaigning as a Washington outsider. We all need to remember that she has been a major player in Washington for the past 3+ years, casting tie-breaking votes in the Senate and according to President Biden, she has been in agreement with all of his policies. Kamala Harris broke the record for Vice-Presidents casting tie-breaking votes in the Senate–she cast 32 votes to help pass President Biden’s agenda. (This figure comes from The New York Times).

The article reports:

Vice President Harris is running for president as though she is somehow an outsider running against the establishment rather than its hand-picked mouthpiece. She’s not only an insider, she’s the second ranking officer in the incumbent administration. She has previously campaigned on every one of the policies of the Biden/Harris administration that have wrought so much damage to the United States.

To take only one example, consider Biden’s opening of the border and his invitation to the whole wide world to come on in. Come on in, that is, and enjoy the freebies. Enjoy the freebies, that is, at the expense of American taxpayers. These are the policies that Harris herself promoted during her 2020 presidential campaign.

And yet Harris has adopted these campaign themes: She has “a new way forward.” We’re not “going back.” Oh, yeah, and “it’s time to turn the page.”

Harris pretends to resolve the contradiction by asserting that she’s “not Joe Biden.” However, not surprisingly, she’s on “the same page” as Joe Biden. What if “it’s time to turn the page”? Harris herself was unable to keep up the pretense or reconcile the contradiction in her appearance on The View yesterday.

When asked on The View what should would have done differently from President Biden during the past four years, she replied, “There is not a thing that comes to mind.” So how is Kamala Harris going to ‘turn the page’ if she is elected after she and President Biden were on the same page for four years?

 

More Fiction From The Harris/Walz Campaign

On Monday, Breitbart reported that Kamala Harris has finally put up a policy page on her campaign website. The page includes a number of policy plans.

One idea is to cut taxes for the middle class. Does she not realize that as soon as the Trump tax cuts expire, taxes on the middle class will increase? She states on her policy page that she intends to roll back the Trump tax cuts in order to increase taxes on the rich.

Another idea is to make rent more affordable and home ownership more attainable. Part of this plan includes up to $25,000 for first-time home buyers. Where will that money come from? How will adding $25,000 as a down payment for first-time home owners impact the price of housing (spoiler alert: it will increase the prices a minimum of $25,000 and create a housing shortage).

The article reports:

The policies most notably feature sections that compare and contrast Kamala’s position with that of “Project 2025,” which the Democrats have been trying to pin on former President Donald Trump for weeks now. The “Ensure Safety and Justice for All” section gets particularly spicy.

“Donald Trump is a convicted criminal who only cares about himself. He’s proven that time and time again – from caving to the gun lobby and doing nothing to address gun violence to killing the bipartisan border security deal that would secure our border and keep America safe, just to help himself politically,” the section says.

Just for the record, the bipartisan border security deal was neither bipartisan nor a border security deal. It was worked out in secrecy between some rino Republicans and the Democrats and would simply have insured a new supply of Democrat voters in future elections.

The article concludes:

On Israel, the campaign says that Kamala Harris will defend the Jewish state’s right to exist and will work to end the war in Gaza.

“Vice President Harris will always stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself and she will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself. She and President Biden are working to end the war in Gaza, such that Israel is secure, the hostages are released, the suffering in Gaza ends, and the Palestinian people can realize their right to dignity, security, freedom, and self-determination,” it says.

If you believe that, there is nothing more I can say to you.
