Did Kamala Harris Just Fall Out of a Cocoanut Tree?

Posted by on

I never would’ve thought to ask that, if the L.A. Times hadn’t brought it up:

In memes and money, Kamala Harris’ note-perfect political instincts are paying off
Los Angeles Times | July 22, 2024 | Mary McNamara, Culture Columnist and Critic

Never has an NCAA Sports Day been so widely and breathlessly covered as it was on Monday.

And never has it been clearer that Vice President Kamala Harris, now the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, did not just fall out of a coconut tree.

And if a conservative had written that, would it have been attacked as “racist”?

Kamala Harris Quotes That Prove We’re Living in Veep
theconservateur.com | 7/21/24 | Erin Spellman

Only a year and a half into the current administration, it’s hard to believe that our nation’s top ‘girl boss,’ Vice President Kamala Harris, has produced such a high volume of wisdom. There is no denying that Harris has a way with words. From complex foreign policy explanations to groundbreaking musings on the COVID-19 pandemic, our VP has been a sage for the people.

Here’s my favorite philosophical soliloquy (because it sounds as though she’s shouting her stream of consciousness into a void) from our babbler-in-chief:

“The governor and I, we were all doing a tour of the library here and talking about the significance of the passage of time, right, the significance of the passage of time. So, when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time in terms of what we need to do to lay these wires. What we need to do to create these jobs. And there is such great significance to the passage of time when we think about a day in the life of our children.”

Just Like Biden, This Didn’t Age Well

Biden’s national security team says he’s up for 4 more years
UPI | July 20, 2024 | Ehren Wynder

July 20 (UPI) — President Joe Biden’s national security advisers say he’s up to the job while former officials cast doubt on his ability to protect his legacy from Donald Trump.

National security adviser Jake Sullivan, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Joint Chiefs Chair C.Q. Brown at this week’s Aspen Security Forum in Colorado insisted Biden is fully capable of steering the United States through a global landscape marked by fears of Russian and Chinese aggression.

“I am damn glad we have that guy sitting at the head of the table in the Situation Room,” Sullivan said Friday in a press conference.

It’s rare for national security officials to voice their opinions about domestic partisan politics, but growing Democratic concerns about Biden’s fitness for office topped with the recent assassination attempt on Trump has made the topic virtually inevitable in national security discussions.

Sullivan, when pressed about Biden’s acuity, pointed to his alert and engaged response to Iran’s April 13 missile attack on Israel, which the United States helped fend off.

At that time, “you get to see in living color, in real time, the capacity of a commander-in-chief,” Sullivan said.

And apparently Kamala Harris’s way with words is spreading:

Brown echoed Sullivan’s testimony, saying “all the times I’ve been engaged with the president, he’s been engaged.”
