Is it now remarkable that Harris/Walz is a show about nothing, just like the Old Seinfeld comedy series as it was characterized to be?

“A decline in courage may be the most striking feature that an outside observer notices in the West Today.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

The United States of America is in a dark period, a dark room. The darkest in our history. Not so much from foreign enemies but from domestic invaders. Our existence is in question. When it is entered, it can be discussed at another time, but we’re in that room. The government believes it can do anything it feels like while people tread carefully. We are as top-heavy as we can get. The bureaucracy is at a point of being imperious and noxious. The government creates a problem and then sells us the ‘fix’ that gets us deeper in the hole, solving nothing. And we pay for it all. We always pay for it. A Harris presidency would be the final descent. —the worst decision we can make.

In the meantime, the Democrats say: Get rid of the balloons, take down the posters, try to find your car, go home; the Democratic convention is over. But let us try to keep the excitement going.

The DNC is trying everything—enlisting celebrities who think they know more than we do, old politicians who know less than we do, and old Democrat operatives like James Carville who have developed muscle cramps from all the fake smiles pretending the Democrats have a winner.

But what they anticipated and predicted didn’t appear. The post-convention bump, bounce, or whatever they call it never happened. Just two weeks after the convention, a bad case of sobriety has taken hold of the Democrats and many of the voters. Having a party is one thing, but putting her into the Oval Office, quite another. I wouldn’t be surprised if many of those convention-goers now ask themselves, ‘What the heck did we just do?”

Kamala may think she pulled a fast one, not going through the primary process or developing an earned reputation as a hard-working senator, vice president, or any other office she managed to weasel her way into. Like many different times in her career, Harris bypassed the ritual of hard work, unless you count maneuvering as hard work, getting help from the inside—cronyism, relationships, sexual, and otherwise. She was unpopular in her home state of California and as Vice President. She has become a media creation, lying to us about everything Kamala.

Most of us know by now that Kamala’s father is a committed Marxist. Her parents divorced when Kamala was 7. The Economist described her father, a retired economics professor at Stanford, as a “combative Marxist economist.” Her long-time boyfriend, Willie Brown, was mayor of San Francisco, thanks to the substantial help from the Communist Party USA. Marxist economics forms the foundation of Kamala Harris’s legacy.

Harris must have learned about Willie’s political machine while dating him in the 1990s. The FBI once investigated Brown. Nevertheless, she learned much. For several years, Brown aided Harris in her political ambitions, appointing her to various high government positions. She met the right people and extracted everything she could from them.

Her rise from San Francisco politics was described as ‘ruthless’. Her opponents admitted they were naive going up against Harris. They thought their being competent was enough. As it turned out, Kamala’s connections were too much to deal with. Her willingness to court favors and use people with access to money was all too apparent.

While vice president, she probably watched Biden these last few years and said, “I can do that.”

Kamala Harris witnessed the president not doing much of anything. With her limited intellect, she must have thought it was perfectly normal. At some point, she probably realized, “Hey, I get the big mansion, the big jet, the food is free, there are lots of parties, I get loads of attention, and there are lots of people around to tell me what I need to know and say.” Piece of cake. She is convinced that her skills as a politician, saying the right thing to the right people at the right time, will carry her if someone is close and feeding her quips.

Historically, in her career, she had only said what she needed to say when prepared to say it. When pressed, she falters when she needs to perform. So, she says nothing—48 days’ worth. The press is counting the days almost like until Christmas in reverse. Going toe to toe with the likes of Putin or Jinping is frightening. No wonder Putin is all in for Kamala in the election.

Her political career has been a study in tactics and maneuvering. While running for district attorney in San Francisco, she spoke and shared the stage with her two opponents, Bill Fazio and Terence Hallinan. As related by witnesses, Kamala stood behind Hallinan and told the audience, “You know Terence Hallinan has attacked Bill Fazio for being caught in a massage parlor.” Then Harris walked behind Fazio and recounted all the time Fazio accused Hallinan of having sex in his office. She returned to the middle of the stage and said, “I want to commit to you that my campaign is not going to be about negative attacks.” Politico

Some have said Kamala Harris is ruthless, and it does have its place. But that is all she has in her quiver. It would be best to have a solid grasp of the world’s functions, a thorough perception, and empathy for business and economics. Harris has demonstrated only rudimentary knowledge of economics when confronted and demonstrates exasperation when challenged.

We have too many politicians and not anywhere near enough public servants who put the needs of the people first. Not in the art of the give-away and presenting the bill to pay for it but in creating an atmosphere that is amiable to success. Getting out of the way. Putting We the People first, not the bureaucracy or the military-industrial complex. Any older citizen who has lived through the Vietnam War and the decades of anti-terrorist campaigns can see the lack of any progress in our security.

Today, the government wants too much of our money and freedoms. They support censorship and an open border, but instead of creating a friendlier business climate, they support higher tax rates and dance with a war that accomplishes nothing. More importantly, the government, especially the Democrat government, has abandoned our heritage, both spiritual and historical, to create a sort of amoral, anti-Judeo-Christian, technocratic environment with no past and, many would say, no future. The removal of God from society always leads to the emergence of something else. Nature hates a vacuum. The recent shootings in Georgia tell a continuing tale of the government having removed spiritual anchors from our society, leaving people, especially the young, to float untethered from natural or spiritual law.

And now we see Kamala Harris, the thoroughly secular, radical liberal who offers nothing but platitudes and reworked liberal policies, pretending to have the answers but having none except for acquiescing in gifts for which we will all pay for many years.

Polls have consistently shown a very tight race with Trump and Harris neck and neck. I didn’t believe it for a minute. Trump’s support is deep with a firm foundation. Harris’ support is all flash, much dependent on who she books to sing at her next rally. Observing the street reactions, it’s evident that many people still don’t know who Kamala is, and most don’t care. And it’s getting late.

While liberal pollsters work hard to show Harris and Trump very close, real pollsters like Trafalgar and Insider Advantage show Trump up in a big way. This is not going to be an easy cruise for Harris. Harris may start to struggle over time, particularly after the debates.

Donald Trump represents a new approach to governance, approaching government like a business with investments, minimal losses, and tangible profits. Its investors (the people) will know the ‘business’ is doing well by reducing the cost of living, improving infrastructure, and increasing opportunity.

Going back to profit is better than moving forward to a loss.

If elected, Trump has decided to create a Government Efficiency Commission. The commission will conduct an audit of the entire federal government and make recommendations for drastic reforms. Elon Musk has agreed to head that commission. We need this badly! It’s been a long time coming. Successful business people know more about efficiency than anyone else, certainly more than politicians.

Our country needs to open the windows, let in the light and fresh air. Let’s see what rats run and hide.

It is easy to see that Kamala Harris knows more about getting the job than doing the job. That will be quite another story Kamala Harris may have to tell, but please no interviews.
