So, Doug Emhoff behaved badly at the office too

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.

The UK Daily Mail has softened the title over the day today from this:

To this:

Kamala Harris' husband Doug Emhoff faces explosive new allegations from his time at top LA law firm:

Attorneys who worked with Doug Emhoff at his former firm Venable say he yelled expletives, held a men-only cocktail hour in the office, revoked work perks from women who didn't flirt with him, and took only young, attractive associates in a limousine to a ball. ...

'What's worse was he bragged about it to the management at Venable and they were aghast. He's an a**hole. He told them how he "put her in her place". A misogynist, that's who does that.'

Looks like Tim Walz has gotten a little out ahead of Kamala Harris lol

Kamala Harris' New Way Forward is the old Biden way

Kamala Harris' messaging continues in disarray:

Longtime Democrats Doug Schoen and Andrew Stein speechless after rudderless Biden-Harris administration fails Hurricane Helene victims

The failure of the Biden-Harris administration to take charge of urgently needed rescue and recovery efforts after Hurricane Helene underscores a key question: Who is really running this White House?

Right now, we have no clear answer.

President Biden’s and Vice President Harris’ cavalier indifference to the Americans fighting to survive in the disaster zone has left us — both longtime Democrats — speechless. ...

It took six days for the White House to activate a paltry 1,000 military members to help deliver assistance — even though three of America’s premier military divisions with critical search and rescue experience are based within just a few hours of the hardest-hit areas in the Carolinas and Georgia.

Compare that to President George W. Bush, who ordered nearly 10,000 troops to the Hurricane Katrina disaster zone in 2005.

More.

Kamala Harris is a box of rocks

Fixed income investors in US Treasury securities took a beating last week as yields surged 4.67%

Year to date total return tanked for 30-year bonds from 2.01% on 9/27/24 to -0.78% on 10/4/24.

For 20-year bonds year to date return fell from 3.33% to 0.98% over the week.

There was similar carnage down the curve. Only 3mo and 6mo Treasury bills were up year to date week over week.

Trump strongholds in North Carolina and Georgia were hit hard by Hurricane Helene

Politico reports here:

Hurricane Helene hit especially hard in heavily Republican areas of Georgia and North Carolina — a fact that could work to Donald Trump’s disadvantage in the two swing states. ...

The parts of western North Carolina and eastern Georgia that were flooded by the monster storm are largely Republican. In 2020, he won 61 percent of the vote in the North Carolina counties that were declared a disaster after Helene. He won 54 percent of the vote in Georgia’s disaster counties. ...

State records show that nearly 40,000 absentee ballots were mailed to voters in the 25 North Carolina counties that were declared a disaster following Helene. Fewer than 1,000 have been returned.

Kamala Harris would be the first president with a VP who said he fought in a war he didn't fight in, with a rank he didn't have, used IVF to have kids when he didn't, and placed himself at the scene of a famous foreign event when he was still in Nebraska

Just minor stuff.

Kamala Harris would be the first president with a spouse who slugged his girlfriend and knocked up his nanny

The Harris-Biden messaging is in complete disarray: Kamala boasts right now about spending millions to aid Lebanon, which harbors Israel's enemies, while her own DHS Secretary is warning FEMA is running out of money for hurricanes

And Mayorkas couldn't care less about FEMA running out of money or the suffering in the Southeast. He went clothes shopping on Saturday.

This administration excels at in-your-face bad optics in addition to doing a horrible job.

Are you ready for 67% all-electric vehicles by 2032, or 56% all-electrics and 13% plug-in hybrids, because that is what you will get if Kamala Harris wins and simply lets the EPA final rule from March play out

Automakers could still comply with the final rule by making EVs account for 67 percent of new car sales in 2032, according to the EPA. But they could also meet the requirements by making all-electric vehicles account for 56 percent and making plug-in hybrids represent 13 percent, the agency said.

Story.

And we're not talking about hybrids which you don't have to plug in.

Kamala Harris is bent on abolishing combustion engine vehicles entirely, as she was in 2019.

Toilet paper shortage blamed on Hurricane Helene demand and/or panic over the port strike which lasted three days, either way we're sol so to speak

Walmart releases statement after seeing increased demand for paper towels, toilet paper

A spokesperson for Walmart said there has been “increased demand in some communities on items like bath tissue and paper towels - especially in areas impacted by Hurricane Helene.”

Port strike 2024 triggers toilet paper 'panic buying' at Costco locations

The rush to buy is in response to thousands of dockworkers going on strike Tuesday, shutting down 36 ports along the East and Gulf coasts. ...

Jennifer Lee, of our sister station FOX 29 Philadelphia, spoke with Dr. Subodha Kumar – a professor at the FOX School of Business at Temple University – who says the port strikes won’t have much of a short-term impact on consumers, and absolutely none on the supply of toilet paper.
