TO BE FAIR, THEY DO: Even Democrats Think The Democrats Deserve To Lose.
This morning, we have come upon a piece written by long-time Democrat, Sasha Stone, on her Substack that discusses the substance, (or lack thereof), of the Kamala Harris and the Democrats’ campaign.
Stone thinks the Democrats deserve to lose and her piece, every word of it, is nothing short of brilliant. Why? If we peel back the surface layer of Kamala Harris, diversity hire for POTUS, social justice and identity politics, we will see that Ms. Harris is just that-and nothing more.
Ms. Harris has proved to be ineffective and unqualified as a Vice President and she is currently asking for the American vote for the highest office in the land in a matter of days. We’ll get into that in just a moment but first, words from Kenneth Khachigian, from The Wall Street Journal:
Ms. Harris was unprepared to enter the rough and tumble of national politics and at the 11th hour relies on being propped up, as she has throughout her career, by patrons—Barack Obama, his operatives and a national media that is predominantly desperate to prevent Mr. Trump from re-entering office. Ms. Harris is a victim of her own success through moving up the political ladder without being fully tested by challenge and conflict.”-Kenneth L. Khachigian, The Wall Street Journal
Stone also peels back the layer of the Biden presidency,
The suits are mostly empty, and what is in them is something ugly.

WELL, SHE’S NOT WRONG, BUT THIS WAS RATHER IMPOLITIC: Harris botched interview with Muslim influencer by celebrating ‘bacon’ as ‘a spice.’
Clearly a prime choice for First Diplomat.

EVERYTHING IS GOING SWIMMINGLY:
Kamala tries to get the audience to chant and it was an epic fail. This is so difficult to watch. The cringe is off the charts.
ZERO charisma

FIRST AMENDMENT VIOLATION: George Mason U. disciplines law students who objected to tampons in men’s restrooms: Lawsuit says school violated their First and Fourteenth Amendment rights.
Two female law students at George Mason University have filed a federal lawsuit against the school for “silencing” them after they opposed a policy of putting tampons in men’s restrooms.
According to the Alliance Defending Freedom, after opposing the measure, third-year law students Selene Cerankosky and Maria Arcara received “no-contact” orders from the university “prohibit[ing] them from having any contact with [another] student.”
The ADF says George Mason “unlawfully” used its Title IX and Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion harassment policies against the students, violating their First and Fourteenth Amendment rights.
According to the complaint, Cerankosky and Arcara let their concerns be known in a law school GroupMe chat, whereupon a male classmate (pseudonymously “Mr. Doe”) “mocked” them and called their opinions “bigoted.”
The pair were never notified of any complaint against them, and two weeks after the chat they received the non-contact order regarding Mr. Doe. They say they were not given a chance to defend themselves.
Go after the officials personally. Make some examples. Teach some lessons.

A SMALL MEASURE OF ACCOUNTABILITY:
So in the end, NBC had to give up 90 seconds for free to the Trump campaign as "equal time" in response to the SNL Harris stunt. https://t.co/RHJCbkT6G6

But not enough.
In addition to illegally boosting @KamalaHarris, NBC's Saturday Night Live last night did a skit *literally* aimed at boosting the name recognition of Sen @timkaine. Why? Perhaps because Kaine's challenger @HungCao_VA just closed the gap & could win. It's election interference. pic.twitter.com/dolUILMhMU
