Kamala Harris Can Only Win By Fooling The People

When Kamala Harris was running for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, she responded to an ACLU questionnaire saying she favored transgender surgery for prisoners at taxpayer expense.

In a separate television interview, she said, “As (California) attorney general, I pushed the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to provide gender transition surgery to state inmates.”

In that interview, she added that this would further her “agenda” and support “the movement,” whatever that means.

Now, one television “journalist,” obviously trying to protect her, said she contacted the Harris campaign which said Harris was “not running on that issue this year.”

Harris is trying to run as far away as she can from many of her past statements, votes and positions on the issues.

The very biased television reporter could not bring herself to admit the Trump ad on this topic was true. She would only say the comment needed to be taken “in context,” but the Harris quote above was not taken out of context in any way.

On another issue, Harris told Rev. Al Sharpton, on television, that she would be proud to sign a national reparations bill for descendants of slaves.

Slavery ended for most Americans well over 150 years ago. While many African Americans have never relied on government programs at all, a much higher percentage have received government benefits of all types than have whites, based on percentages of races in the population.

All of these programs – welfare, food, housing, healthcare, and job programs – have carried monetary benefits, and while not labeled as reparations, have been done in recognition of past discrimination.

A California commission on this issue came up with a proposal of as much as $1.2 million to each descendant, a direct cash payment over and above all these other government programs. Nothing could do more to harm race relations in this country.

Liberals seem to be very compassionate and generous with other peoples’ money. Harris, of course, is not saying anything now about reparations, and I am sure the media will cover for her on this, too.

One campaign pledge she is now bragging about is to give one million forgivable loans to black entrepreneurs. This is an obvious vote-buying scheme designed out of fear that too many black males say they may vote for Trump.

This type of race-based loan program should be, and I believe is, illegal. But the Democrats have become a very racist party.

It was racist for President Biden to say that he would only consider a woman of color to be his running mate. Does anyone believe Kamala Harris would have ever been vice president if she was white?

The widespread use of DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) in hiring, both public and private, is another form of reparations.

The biggest problem with Harris, though, is that we are already ruled by a big government-big business duopoly. This is why the Democrats usually get about four times the money that Republicans do from the Fortune 500.

Harris said she “loves small business,” but she would make the federal government bigger and more bureaucratic, with even more rules and regulations, making it even harder for small businesses to survive.

Her ads imply that only billionaires are going to pay more in taxes. Yet she has said she is going to do away with the Trump tax cuts.

This means that every business in this country – large and small – would be hit with higher taxes.

Every business that wants to stay in business has to pass its taxes on to the consumer in the form of higher prices. This means a higher cost of living for everyone.

It was a lie for Biden and Harris to say that no one making less than $400,000 a year will pay more in taxes. They will be paying more – much more – in taxes that are “hidden” in higher prices for everything.

Harris’ only hope to win is that she can fool enough people into believing that she no longer supports her leftist positions of the very recent past.

And she will also have to fool the people into believing they will not have to pay for all the new give-away and environmental programs she is proposing.

As Sen. Bernie Sanders said about her, she is just saying what she has to say to get elected.
