That Democrat presumptive presidential candidate Joe Biden was waiting to be told who he picked as his vice president running mate wasn’t such a joke after all.
They’re calling her Biden’s pick but Kamala Harris is not the cognitive-challenged Joe’s pick but the Democrats’ one.
“Woot-Woot!” from the Clintons, the Obamas and Hollywood still living the dream that America needs to elect its first female president. “Biden, trying to pander to as many Democratic constituencies as possible, promised early on to pick a woman for his vice president. Why he would automatically exclude roughly half of humanity from the selection process tells you a lot.”As it turns out Harris’ career would have remained on arid ground without boosts from politically powerful males. “Former San Francisco mayor Willie Brown broke his silence on his relationship with Democratic senator Kamala Harris on Saturday, admitting in his weekly column that he used his powerful post to boost her young career when they dated. (Washington Free Beacon, Jan. 26, 2019)
“Brown, who was openly in an extramarital relationship with Harris when he was speaker of the California State Assembly and running for mayor, had avoided commenting on his relationship with Harris since she announced her run for president a week ago. Harris has also managed to avoid addressing the role Brown played in the early stages of her political career. “…Brown goes on to address the fact that he appointed Harris, who was just a few years out of law school and working at the Alameda County district attorney's office, to two well-paid posts on California state commissions and later helped her in her first election. "Yes, I may have influenced her career by appointing her to two state commissions when I was Assembly speaker," he writes. "And I certainly helped with her first race for district attorney in San Francisco.” “The two reportedly broke up in December 1995 just before he became mayor, but he remained a political ally.”
I have the great honor to announce that I’ve picked @KamalaHarris — a fearless fighter for the little guy, and one of the country’s finest public servants — as my running mate.

“Kamala Harris, who has received at least $81,000 from Planned Parenthood, was serving as California’s attorney general at the time. In 2016, her office searched Daleiden’s home, seizing his video footage and preparing a legal case against him. “Peter Breen, special counsel at the Thomas More Society, briefed PJ Media on the ongoing case last July. He argued that Daleiden’s filming was taken in “entirely public places.” “I could point you to undercover investigations that are being shown on the evening news in Los Angeles. Under the standard they are applying to David, those would be felonies,” the lawyer argued. “The other reporters are being lauded for their brave investigative techniques, but David is being prosecuted.” “I would say this is an abuse of the criminal process,” Breen told PJ Media.
“She supports, among other things: the economy-killing Green New Deal, Medicare for All (ending private health insurance), open borders, late-term abortions (whether states want it or not), and the confiscation of private weapons (the death of the 2nd Amendment). (Issues & Insights)Little wonder why her biggest boosters now are the Obamas and the Clintons. When Harris started off on the 2020 presidential campaign trail she was one of 28 Democrat contenders Canada Free Press called the “car full of crazies”. Her boasts about her own fearlessness were epic: “I have taken on Jeff Sessions, I’ve taken on Bill Barr, I have taken on Brett Kavanaugh,” Harris said in her final Democratic debate. “I know I have the ability to do that.” (LA Times, Dec. 4, 2019) Early last December she abandoned her campaign citing a “lack of money”.
“As Tuesday drew to a close, a Harris aide posted a video on Twitter of the former candidate dancing in her Baltimore headquarters with campaign aides. (LA Times) “Harris, looking more lighthearted than she had in weeks, shimmied and sang along as a Beyoncé song played. Its title: “Before I Let Go.”
