One of their first campaigns is to deny that she was ever the &#8220;border czar&#8221; despite the White House having put her in over-all charge of finding a solution to the border flood of illegals. Here&#8217;s an example from the New Republic:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>While it is true that in 2021, the vice president was assigned to lead a limited effort to address the root causes of migration from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, Harris was not by any means in charge of the border.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/news\/politics\/trump-attacks-kamala-harris-for-a-job-she-never-even-had\/ar-BB1qHbgh\">New Republic<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Hair-splitting, no? As noted last week, in many cases the same liberal media sites who DUBBED her the border czar are denying it and trying to scrub their sites. If that does not remind you of &#8220;1984&#8221;&#8216;s rewriting of history, you need to go back and read the book again.<\/p>\n<p>But it even gets better than that. Lloyd Austin, our beloved (ahem) Secretary of Defense, is now saying Kama was in on all the major decisions&#8230; yes, really.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Defense Secretary <span class=\"caas-xray-inline-tooltip wafer-destroyed wafer-loader-success\" data-wf-template-id=\"caas-xray-inline-wafer-tooltip-template-with-close-ff303aa5-0303-32f5-a062-09e0caa2f270\" data-wf-local-storage-key=\"xray-inline-tooltip\" data-wf-tooltip-text=\"Get info without &lt;br\/&gt; leaving the page.\" data-wf-tooltip-position=\"bottom\" data-wf-reset-every=\"90\"><span class=\"caas-xray-inline caas-xray-entity caas-xray-pill rapid-nonanchor-lt\" tabindex=\"0\" data-entity-id=\"Lloyd_Austin\" data-ylk=\"cid:Lloyd_Austin;pos:1;elmt:wiki;sec:pill-inline-entity;elm:pill-inline-text;itc:1;cat:OfficeHolder;\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\">Lloyd Austin<\/span><\/span> said Thursday that, in his more than three years of working with Vice President Kamala Harris, she has been with him and the president for some of their toughest decisions and &#8220;always a part of the process.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Austin, a retired four-star Army general and now a civilian Cabinet member and Biden appointee, painted Harris as prepared and always engaged on national security issues.<\/p>\n<p>If reporters look at what the Biden administration has tackled &#8220;over the past three and a half years &#8212; strikes that we&#8217;ve had to take, the deployments that we&#8217;ve done, the decision to support Ukraine &#8230; there&#8217;s just thing after thing after thing,&#8221; Austin said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Please&#8230; you&#8217;re killing me &#8211; I can&#8217;t breathe. Who knew ol&#8217; humorless Lloyd could be so funny?<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively&#8230;well, it does help explain a few of the decisions this administration has made&#8230;.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>As of Thursday, Harris&#8217; campaign website did not have any policy statements. However, in 2019, when she first ran for president, Harris released a detailed plan for veterans and service members that largely focused on improving benefits and care offered to veterans.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/defense-secretary-austin-says-kamala-205334181.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall\">Military.com<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We&#8217;re waiting&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>But the best must be from Scientific American. You know, that distinguished science publication? The gold standard to which lesser magazines like Omni, Wired etc. should aspire?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The outlet published the piece earlier in the week, arguing that Harris will bring some experience with science to the White House because &#8220;her mother, Shyamala Gopalan, who Harris cites as a major influence, was a leading breast-cancer researcher who died of cancer.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Anyone remember Lysenko, a Russian scientist many decades back who tried to claim that behavior and knowledge could be inherited?\u00a0 I guess he was right &#8211; Kamala may be the oncologist we need. Me, I am really an engineer&#8230; want me to design a bridge? (Although given the chance I do see Hunter as a feckless clueless lying pol, so there is that.)<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;As senator, Harris co-sponsored efforts to improve the diversity of the science, technology, engineering and medicine (STEM) workforce. She introduced legislation to aid students from underrepresented populations to obtain jobs and work experience in STEM fields.&#8221;\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/science-mag-touts-harris-bringing-202134312.html\">Fox News<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Because it&#8217;s so important that whoever works in science is the right color, not that they are actually, y&#8217;know, competent. Or that they ascribe to the correct sexual philosophies rather than maybe know what they are doing.<\/p>\n<p>God, we live in wonderful times. Usedtabe you needed people to actually VOTE for you to get on the ballot &#8211; now we have someone blessed by her political masters who never won one sole, lousy, single delegate &#8211; with a good shot at winning the Presidency. Why? Because the folks who actually run the party have anointed her in the biggest Eff-you to the American voter ever &#8211; and their media is going to lie, and lie, and lie again to support her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As thebesig mentioned last week, the media is rallying around the presumptive Dem candidate, Kamala Harris. &hellip; <a title=\"Kamala puffery gets silly\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=159397\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Kamala puffery gets silly<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":668,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[220,643,707],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-159397","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-floggings-will-continue-until-morale-improves","category-2024-election","category-kamala-harris"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159397","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/668"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=159397"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159397\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=159397"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=159397"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=159397"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
