Few people know that Kamala Harris' voting record in the US Senate "out-lefted" even Bernie Sanders

 She's the most extreme left wing you can imagine.

You may rightly call her an extremist.

 


 


Did VP Harris develop a long-term strategy to stem the tide of migration?


 


... Harris is tasked with overseeing diplomatic efforts to deal with issues spurring migration in the Northern Triangle countries of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, as well as pressing them to strengthen enforcement on their own borders, administration officials said. She’s also tasked with developing and implementing a long-term strategy that gets at the root causes of migration from those countries. ...

For Harris, the assignment gives her the first big opportunity to step to the front of the stage on a matter of enormous consequence for the administration. As the first Black woman elected vice president, Harris arrived on the job as a trailblazer. It has remained opaque how Biden would utilize her.

Kamala Harris was given the border problem task early on, and now we have a flood of 8 million people here we didn't have before

 Mission accomplished.



An assassination attempt, and then eight days later a coup

Biden drops out

 



CrowdStrike's George Kurtz has in common the forgotten McAfee glitch which took down computers in 2010, the controversial DNC hack investigation of 2016, and now Friday's global IT glitch

 Other security companies have had similar episodes in the past. McAfee's buggy antivirus update in 2010 stalled hundreds of thousands of computers.

Reported here.

“CrowdStrike is actively working with customers impacted by a defect found in a single content update for Windows hosts,” George Kurtz, CEO of CrowdStrike, said in a post on the social platform X. “Mac and Linux hosts are not impacted.”

Quoted here.

April 30, 2016:  CrowdStrike was contacted by the DNC outside counsel to discuss a suspected breach.  This was CrowdStrike’s first involvement in this matter. (p6)

AOC: Democrats who want Joe Biden out are not down for the Kamala cause either


"They are interested in removing the whole ticket."

All it took for Trump to like electric cars was an endorsement from Elon Musk and his pledge of $45 million a month lol

 Trump in Grand Rapids, Michigan, yesterday, here

"I'm totally for them."

 

 Elon Musk Has Said He Is Committing Around $45 Million a Month to a New Pro-Trump Super PAC

Neocon Trump is alive and well JD, lol

WaPo, May 28, 2024, here:

 . . . at one event, he suggested that he would have bombed Moscow and Beijing if Russia invaded Ukraine or China invaded Taiwan, surprising some of the donors.

Oren Cass: In JD Vance libertarian economics and neoconservative foreign policy are being excised from Republican conservatism

 But there is no Trumpism, only Trump.

Yikes.

Methinks JD Vance will be a very unhappy VP, seeking to rest a spell on his one-legged stool as reality bites.

He's president already


 From tonight’s speech by Trump: "And to the entire world, we want our hostages back—and they better be back before I assume office, or you will be paying a very big price."

The wretched, envious Kevin Williamson drips with disdain for the kinder, gentler Kevin Williamson known as JD Vance, and for his kin

  I’d been writing about lower-class, mainly white dysfunction for a few years at that point, and Vance had just published his famous book, which I had reviewed in Commentary. I admired his work tremendously—and, naturally, envied him some, too. We had a good conversation. 

Watching his descent into … whatever it is he has become … has been dispiriting. ...

Vance did what poor white trash types who do not wish to remain poor white trash do: He got out, in his case by joining the Marine Corps, one of the great exemplars of American meritocracy. He went to a good state college and an Ivy League law school, he married a woman from an immigrant family with values superior to the ones exhibited by the Real Americans™ who brought him into the world, took a job that paid a lot of money, and made the kind of social and economic connections that give a man options in life.
