Kamala's campaign of lies

 Washington Times:

After a performance by Megan Thee Stallion giving her “hardest twerk,” Democratic candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris laid out her campaign platform in Atlanta: Securing the border, strengthening the economy, “freedom to vote” and “safety from gun violence.” (While she also wants to stop former President Donald Trump’s “extreme abortion ban,” it’s hard to even respond, given that Mr. Trump has explicitly and repeatedly said he would not minimize abortion access.)

Knowing nothing more, I’d think it’s half Republican platform and half President Biden standard talking points. But an inch below the surface lies the dangerous and maddening reality of what she’s really promising:

In April, the House Committee on Homeland Security released a fact sheet showing that since the Biden-Harris administration took office, there have been more than 9.5 million known illegal crossings, with millions more unknown. Under a Harris administration, we would see a repeat of that, but worse, now that the cartel infrastructure is established.

Ms. Harris claims she would sign bipartisan legislation to secure the border. The legislation she mentions would have streamlined entry into the United States, not stopped it. Regardless, this immediate mention of legislation is problematic. In blaming Congress rather than the administration for conditions at the border, she acknowledges that she would not do anything to close the border but rather whine about the need for (bad) legislation. 

And what has she actually done for the border in her time as vice president? Ms. Harris has never spoken with the Border Patrol chief. And her stance on border security appears to be “working” to provide Guatemalans with “drought-resistant crops.”

Ms. Harris’ economic vision is handouts (in health care, child care and paid leave) and medical price fixing. But handouts don’t solve the problem that Americans are struggling with. Handouts bloat the system with borrowed cash, exacerbating inflation and putting even more strain on the lowest-income Americans’ wallets. They also run up our national debt, locking our children into outrageous tax burdens (not to mention failing infrastructure and schools) as we barely pay our interest. Giving Americans the financial security they seek means a robust job market (which means optimistic employers) and affordable and plentiful energy.

Moreover, Ms. Harris cast the tiebreaking vote for a 2022 law that demanded pharmaceutical companies sell their drugs at a loss. A socialist takeover of medicine reduces innovation and productivity. Drug companies cannot operate in a country that simply steals their products, and she should not be proud of passing a law that so blatantly threatens our well-being.

...

Kamala Harris won’t answer questions from the media, but her policies must speak for themselves. Americans have lived for four years under Mr. Biden’s and her leadership, encouraging drugs and unvetted people to cross the border illegally, funding massive global instability and exacerbating our national debt to a shocking $470,230 per child.

...

I suspect she will not answer questions from the media because she is not very good at that.  She tends to talk in gibberish and word salads, which exposes her to not being articulate or capable.  I get the impression she has a low IQ.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
