Kamala Harris: A cute puss with a “presidential” stripe accidentally down her back

Despite Wall-To-Wall Media Propaganda To Protect Kamala’s Incompetence, Voters Are Onto Her
Federalist | September 02, 2024 | Hayden Daniel

The media have developed a pathological obsession with shielding Vice President Kamala Harris from any criticism or inconvenient fact…

In 2021, the media reported that Harris played a critical role in Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. Politico stated that Harris “was the last person in the room” before Biden made the decision to pull out. The Washington Post characterized Harris as “as a vice president deeply involved in key moments.” The Los Angeles Times noted that Harris was “front and center as President Biden has overseen America’s retreat from Afghanistan.”

Yet the media screeched in unison when former President Donald Trump correctly identified Biden and Harris as the primary culprits behind the debacle that resulted in the deaths of 13 American servicemembers. Now the media is trying desperately to separate (Vice President!) Harris from Biden’s administration entirely, with outlets firing out patently ridiculous headlines like Politico’s doozy: “Vance tries to tether Harris to Biden during Michigan rally.”

One of the more egregious examples came from The Washington Post on Tuesday. The outlet attempted to “prove” that Biden’s disastrous tenure will in no way negatively affect Harris’ electoral prospects with a nifty little graph. “The GOP is trying hard to tie Harris more closely to Biden on the economy, immigration and the border,” Washington Post Senior Political Reporter Aaron Blake claimed. “One big problem: Americans don’t think she played a particularly central role.”

Blake included a graph taken from his article (headlined “Why Biden isn’t dragging down Harris”) that showed that only 11 percent of Americans believe Harris has had a “great deal of influence” on Biden’s economic policy. Likewise, only 15 percent said that she has a “great deal of influence” on immigration policy despite, as Blake notes, “the ‘border czar’ stuff.”

Chick-fil-A Is Allegedly Starting a Streaming Service — Here’s What We Know
Food & Wine | August 22, 2024 | Stacey Leasca

Bet you didn’t see this coming.

Chick-fil-A reportedly has a brand-new product coming out. And it has nothing to do with chicken.

Reports began to surface on Thursday night that the fast-food chain is working on a new streaming entertainment venture and will create multiple original shows to debut later this year.

Suspected burglar caught after sitting down with book
bbc.com | August 24 2024 | Zahra Fatima

A would-be burglar in Rome was caught after stopping to read a book on Greek mythology in the middle of a theft, Italian media reports.

The 38-year-old reportedly gained access to a flat in the Italian capital’s Prati district via the balcony but became distracted after picking up a book about Homer’s Iliad on a bedside table.

The 71-year-old homeowner is said to have awoken and confronted the alleged thief, who was engrossed in the book.

News of the failed burglary attracted the attention of the book’s author, who told local media he wanted to send the man a copy so he could “finish” his read.

Side note: “Suspected,” “would-be,” “alleged.” Was he in the apartment or not?

Straight Line of the Day: Good Reasons Not To Let a Bear Into Your House…

Making Bears ‘Family’ Sets Everybody Up For Maiming, Death
Cowboy State Daily | August 19, 2024 | Mark Heinz

A social media video depicting people “adopting” bears and raising them as pets is terrible idea, experts told Cowboy State Daily. They are just setting themselves up to be mauled, they said.

A popular social media video that opens with a bear showing up at a family’s front door, set to a sappy love song with cute emojis littered throughout is put out there as a heartwarming tale of nature communing with humans.

What the video really shows is a level of ignorance and interaction with one of the planet’s apex predators that’s really just incredibly stupid, wildlife experts told Cowboy State Daily.

Stupid, and dangerous — for bears and people alike — they said.

At one point, what appears to be mature black bear is suddenly standing in a family’s doorway, practically inside their front room.

“That’s not a place you ever want to be,” said Colorado Parks & Wildlife Northeast region spokeswoman Kara Van Hoose.

Does a bear squat in your Hoose?

Gotta Love ABC

Bud Light boycott still hammers local distributors 1 year later: ‘Very upsetting’
ABC | 6/14/24 | Max Zahn

When conservative activists set aflame boxes of Bud Light …

What, empty cardboard boxes? I’d urge ABC to produce footage of boxes containing full bottles or cans aflame, to back up their claim.

And did they purchase them? Then no financial loss to Bud Light took place.

… and urged a boycott in response to an endorsement from a trans influencer last spring, they sent sales of the beer plummeting in a rare success in the long history of consumer movements.

Even more improbably, the backlash continues to hammer Bud Light and strain independent local wholesalers …

Does anyone believe that wholesalers for such a major brand are ‘independent’ in their messaging?

And, by the way, every business site is ‘local,’ by definition.

… more than a year later, according to third-party sales data shared with ABC News as well as interviews with six Anheuser-Busch wholesalers.

Translation: We interviewed fifteen distributors, but only got useful quotes from six. So technically, you can say this article is based on interviews with six Anheuser-Busch wholesalers.

Most of the wholesalers, small- and medium-sized businesses that draw a significant portion of their revenue from Bud Light, said they remain weakened by the decline in sales and uncertain about when, if ever, the brand will fully recover.

B-boo hoo. Tell Bud Light not to make stupid marketing decisions.

Buggy-whip makers fail to sympathize.

The owner of an Anheuser-Busch wholesaler in the Northeast, whose child is trans, told ABC News they have taken a 30% pay cut to make up for the losses and are considering retirement.

That’s why I said you’ve gotta love ABC.

What breed is “their” cat? Who cares about their kid?

Names, or it didn’t happen. We’re not talking about whistleblowers here.

“Another distributor said MAGA Republicans burned a cross on his lawn.”

They were making over a 30% profit? Price gouging!

Whoops! It’s Been There All Along

They just discovered it? It lifts up the sky? Helps drive the majority of weather patterns across the globe? So everything is settled now?

NASA makes discovery ‘as important as gravity’ about Earth
the telegram via msn | 8/29/24 | Sarah Knapton

A new planet-wide electric field that is as fundamental to Earth as gravity has been discovered in a major scientific breakthrough.

The ambipolar electric field, which begins 150 miles above the planet, has been described as a “great invisible force” that lifts up the sky and is responsible for the polar winds.

The polar winds interact with the jet streams to help drive the majority of weather patterns across the globe.

Until now, the field had only been theorised, but a NASA team, which includes scientists from the University of Leicester, has now sent a rocket into the field and measured it for the first time.

Leicester? Say no more!

Kamala Harris Claims, Without Evidence, That She Worked at McDonald’s and ‘Made the Grimace Purple’

In April, Harris appeared on The Drew Barrymore Show, where she was asked if she worked at the fast food restaurant.

‘I did. Yes, I did work at McDonald’s,’ the vice president said. ‘When I was at school…I did fries. And then I did the cashier.’

That’s believable. But also claimed without evidence:

Kamala Has Bidenesque Brain Break During Georgia Rally
PJ Media | 08/30/2024 | Matt Margolis

Something tells me that Democrats are going to wish she’d faded into obscurity during this election cycle too. Take, for example, her latest rally in Savannah, Ga., where she had a Bidenesque incident.

“He even called for termination of the United States supreme, the c — the supreme land of our nation, the United States Constitution,” Kamala said.

If any of you would like to take a stab at translating that, go for it. I certainly can’t make sense of it. I guess she was trying to say without evidence that Donald Trump called for the termination of the Constitution?
