#1 - Kamala Harris Got Into Law School Via a Program She Didn't Qualify For — by Jim Thompson
At
the start of the program in the early 70s, new students admitted
through LEOP did not fare well. The dropout rate was high, so the school
instituted a more “hands-on” routine assigning one-on-one tutors to
help navigate law school for LEOP students. On paper, the program wasn’t
intended for one of her social position of privilege.
Harris was
immersed in Indian culture growing up in Montreal. Her family traveled
the world. Her mother was taken aback when a Head Start teacher was
“shocked” that Harris wasn’t from the poor side of Oakland. Harris’s
mother told him that Kamala was the daughter of privilege. Harris didn’t
fit into the intended target demographic that LEOP was designed for –
but she fully took advantage of her ethnic heritage. At least one side
of it. Once admitted under the program Haris joined the BLSA (Black Law
Students Association). Raised by her Indian mother, Harris found more
currency in being black.
#2 - Ben Shapiro Took on 25 Kamala Harris Voters in a Debate, and the Results Were Incredible — by Bonchie
It
just keeps going from there, but I needed to stop transcribing it
before my brain rotted. To summarize, what that woman was trying to do
is what pro-abortion fanatics always do: They seek to invent any argument
that avoids dealing with the moral issue of ending a human life. As
Shapiro notes, no one could care about abortion if it only included
c-sections in which the babies live. The entire point of the argument is over the termination of human life.
Pro-abortion
radicals always seek to deflect because deep down, they know what is
happening is morally wrong. Thus, they hang onto "exceptions" and the
redefining of basic terms instead of just owning what they claim to
support. It's transparent, and that Shapiro was able to keep his cool in
that exchange is a credit to him.
#3 - MSNBC Goes Into Full Meltdown Mode As Trump Gets Huge Crowd and Cheers at McDonald's — by Nick Arama
What's
unstable about working at McDonald's? Are they really going that route
to insult the people who work there? Every politician running for office
does things like this traditionally.
MSNBC also tried to float
Kamala's desperate last-ditch propaganda that Trump was "unstable,"
which was a silly rebuttal, seeing as he just worked with the folks at
McDonald's to serve folks. They really are clueless. Plus, the claim
that he doesn't have an economic plan is just laughable, when it's
really Kamala Harris who has offered up nothing up but word salads. And
they had to slip in the "threat to democracy" mantra, which is a little
hard to sell when he's handing out food at the drive-thru.
Bottom line? They just can't deal -- and it's a beautiful thing to see.
#4 - Holy Crap: Josh Hawley Shows No Mercy After Shooting Event Hosted by Democrat Opponent Goes Wildly Wrong — by Sister Toldjah
For some, the incident brought to mind the infamous 2006 hunting accident involving then-Vice President Dick Cheney, who
"accidentally shot and wounded a companion during a weekend quail
hunting trip in Texas, spraying the fellow hunter in the face and chest
with shotgun pellets."
Thankfully, Gamboa was okay after being
treated and released from the hospital. Meanwhile, Kunce's tweet about
the incident, where he focused on how he tended to Gamboa's wound, got
some attention from Hawley and some of his senior Senate staffers:
#5 - Kamala Harris 'Town Hall' With Liz Cheney Blows Up on the Launch Pad, and Just Gets Worse From There — by Bonchie
Nothing
says "town hall" like pre-determined questions, no doubt submitted by
the campaign itself. The statement from the Shriver that she might "ask
some questions that might be in your head" is especially great. Sure,
people showed up hoping to actually garner tangible information from
Harris, but isn't hoping that the moderator might ask a question
somewhat related to something you care about basically the same thing?
Keep
in mind that we are still in the middle of a Democrat freak-out over
Donald Trump visiting a McDonald's, with left-wingers letting it be
known the event was "staged." Well, is a "town hall" in which no one can
ask questions "staged?" Asking for a friend.
