AMERICAN MEDIA BASICALLY WON’T TOUCH IT BUT BRITISH PAPERS WILL: Kamala Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff slapped me in the face so hard I spun around … I’m disgusted by his fake ‘perfect spouse’ persona.
The woman, a successful New York attorney, is remaining anonymous, but decided to speak out after Emhoff, Kamala Harris’s husband, denied the claims through a spokesman.
Emhoff’s accuser, who DailyMail.com is naming only as ‘Jane’, initially declined to comment on the record. But Emhoff’s denial, and his alleged hypocrisy by claiming to be a feminist in media interviews, finally became too much for her.
‘What’s frightening for a woman that’s been on the other end of it, is watching this completely fabricated persona being portrayed,’ Jane said.
‘He’s being held out to be the antithesis of who he actually is. And that is utterly shocking.’
That’s Kamala’s whole campaign in a nutshell.
And there is one American outlet willing to cover this.
WELL, GIVEN THE DEMOCRATS’ DIVISIVE, INCITEFUL RHETORIC, THAT MAKES SENSE: Many expect post-election violence, most blame media.

Where does one go to wash this off? To unsee what has already been seen? Find forgiveness and new beginnings instead of just "moving on"?

ANOTHER SUCCESS FOR SPACEX: NASA’s Crew-8 returns to Earth, successfully splashing down into Atlantic. “The four-member SpaceX Crew-8 aboard Crew Dragon Endeavour returned to Earth early Friday, completing their nearly eight-month mission in space. Their Endeavour spacecraft splashed down into the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Florida near Pensacola at 3:39 a.m. EDT, after undocking from the International Space Station some 34 hours earlier.”

Well, we’ve seen this before.
KAMALA HARRIS’S CAMPAIGN, TRAFFICKING IN STEREOTYPES TO GET ELECTED:
And maybe in the Philadelphia area, among black residents, they still speak of “empathy” by calling it “the nature of a female.” But all of us can see this ad. And to me, it seems as though the Harris campaign looks upon black men as sexist — Obama let it show the other day — and wants to meet them where they are and is therefore calling women “females” and describing their “nature” in old-fashioned, stereotypical terms — “empathy, that’s just, like, in their heart, the nature of a female.”
But nobody wants an aunt like Kamala, or sees her as nurturing or empathetic. Least of all her constantly shat-upon underlings.

OPEN THREAD: Disport yourselves.
SO WHAT DON’T THEY WANT US TO NOTICE? THAT KAMALA’S AWFUL? TOO LATE FOR THAT, MUST BE SOMETHING ELSE.
I wonder if that wasn't the goal of the information operation to begin with? In a degraded information environment cui bono?
