Komrade Kamala

 THEY REALLY DID WANT HER TO SUCCEED

I am of two minds about this post. On the one hand I have a lot of comedy material about Kamala Harris, not of the kind variety, and given the recent return to relevance of her political fate, I figured this would be a good time to assemble pics and links illustrating her pratfalls and progressive sidelining from a news media that really wanted her to do well. 

Melania Trump, the most beautiful ever First Lady 
for four years, never got a magazine cover.

But I also feel kind of bad for Harris the VP. The mass media which could have helped her more than they did share at least some of the blame for her miserable performance in the polls. From the first, it was the White House which clearly had a hidden agenda about how best to (mis)use the black woman they had compromised even before her nomination by closing the VP candidate to all but one race and one sex. She was never meant to share in the glow of Biden’s inaugural promise to be the Trump antidote, the unifier who would heal the divisions, even if those divisions had been created in the first place by the lowest gutter politics employed by any party against one man since the Dems tried to assassinate Abraham Lincoln in the press before they defaulted to a bullet. Yeah. Biden the Great Unifier. Remember this?

No, you don’t. Nobody does. In the dustbin of Prog history.

My satirical jibes might make it seem that Kamala just never had the right stuff. Which could be true without making her near universal unpopularity all her fault. Biden has never had the right stuff a single day of his life. But the media have covered for him, propped him up, and lied their asses off for him going on three years now, while Kammy has been left to flounder in one impossible situation after another. There’s going to be a big Postscript below to the satirical stuff that comes next. It’s there to make you laugh. Satire is unfair if often correctly targeted.

What the middle of the pack looks like…

I’m not going to finish the way I intended. Hunting down the word salad clips and so forth. Not worth it. They’re just the proof that the Biden campaign team goofed. Maybe Biden thought of her as an insurance policy, but his most influential organizers really thought the “black female” VP commitment was a big winner and an investment in future girlpower. They were wrong. She was chosen, I’m convinced because of her one memorable (because visible) 15 Minutes of fame in Congress, the Bret Kavanaugh hearings, when she piled on with the same malice that made her staff the one with the highest turnover in the Senate. I’ll leave you with this, not her words but accurate as to her manner…

This made her a star with the woke crowd. Didn’t make her smart or a competent executive.

Enough said for now.

UPDATE JULY 23, 2024: 

THE ASCENSION OF KAMALA 
SAVIOR OF DEMOCRACY

Is she another woodbrained Obama puppet?


Is she just a dancing doll showing off a set of approved secondary sex 
characteristics now that white men are no longer allowed near power?


Or is she some unique hybrid of sex and race under the rubric of DEI?

Not at all. She’s a DC Comix Superhero, complete with cape and intimidating mask, running for the office of Conc-in-Chief!

A Near-Perfect Microcosm of “The Swamp”

Image
Ontogeny recapitulates philogeny. There’s an intensely contemporary reason for taking a close look at Scientology. The Swamp is so huge it seems like the Borg. But what are the stripped down essentials of the Borg? Here’s a look at a laboratory example, a microcosm if you will. In the interests of full disclosure, I did encounter Scientology back in the weird year of 1968. I was in Boston, got scooped in to a “Dianetics” exercise, and got speedily thrown out for having too much “charge” to participate. The one in charge was blond, bland to the point of creepy, and I almost (but not quite) succeeded in making him lose his temper. In further interests of disclosure, I spent years on Facebook, debating Trump-haters. They did lose their tempers. But they also exhibited the exact same repetition of Talking Points the lefties (and Scientologists) employ. Exact. Same. Words. How I made the cult connection. Overview Like it says. Troublemaker.

A Reclamation Project Begun

As you work your way through the links here, don’t be shy. Get ‘Click Happy.’ Even on pics. FIGHTING BACK ONE FILE AT A TIME … How bad has it gotten? I uploaded this video from the old Instapunk at YouTube an hour ago. It has already been removed for violating YT Community Standards.  There’s a pdf version, just published, of the post from Instapunk.com the video above was created for. Nobody censored it 15 years ago. Back then, it was unquestioningly covered as freedom of expression. Here’s my pdf file of ‘ The Goosestep Enigma ’.  This was by no means the most controversial post or graphic included in Instapunk’s 2,000+++ posts over the years. Now I’m going back in time to make pdf versions of the key parts of that website, meaning the most comical, controversial, reflective, insightful, and graphically provocative. But why reinvent the wheel. It’s all still there, isn’t it? The sad fact is that the truly huge resource called Instapunk.com is facing a ticking clock. The original site

The Best Book on the Trump Phenomenon

Image
Everybody rushed in after the fact to be first with the goods on how Trump pulled off the biggest electoral upset in modern presidential history. I was already ahead of them though. I had been covering the political briar patch with a steady diary approach for four presidential election cycles, both terms of W, the meteoric rise and weird re-election of Barack Obama, and of course the first flutterings of the Republican country club riot over replacing him. I had three blogs to draw from over that time, and a couple+ books out of it, including one demonstrating that I had Obama  figured out long before even his fiercest beltway critics caught on. Here’s another relevant book . I recognized the unique potential of Trump to win the whole thing early, in June of 2014. I could prove it. Why has it taken me this long to do my own book about the most spectacular politician of all our lifetimes? Two reasons. I didn’t realize I had produced so much material about Trump, the blog in whic

YEAH. THE VP DEBATE You have no idea. This is all an apotheosis for me. The Joke meme has captured me. Like, you know, I know there will be Democrats out there and vociferating about how good Walz did in appropriate ethnic accents. Defending Kamala was always a loser. Bathos is hell.  And they think this POS is on their side. They do. Actually this is called projection. Here’s the real basis of Tim Walz. A banjo-banging would-be wise man who claimed Minnesota children were “above average.” Keep watching, rolling over to the next vid too. Keillor is a Walz… uh huh. Older, fatter, meltier… 2028 My very first blog, Gloves Off, contained a spirited defense of the ones we used to call Ladies. All gone now except for the ones still motoring onward with walkers and cute hair with no cosmetic surgery. They were mostly mothers. Not all. I have memories none of you can match — my own mother, Addie and Adelaide, Mildred Conklin, Gwendolyn Fennessy, Emma Jones, Rosa Riggs, Joy Coleman, Sis Hine, I

Don’t like Trump? Get over it.

Image
Another has-been life ruined beyond repair. Trump Curse writ large. Rosie O’Donnell still can’t get over the fact that Trump won the Republican nomination in 2016 by blowing off Megyn Kelly’s gotcha question about his mean tweets to women, using her as the completely understandable punchline.   Millions of men, and even some women, said to themselves, “I would do that too.” She’s a sad case. But this latest outburst got me to thinking. Maybe I’ve been unfair to The Donald myself over the years. With my wife and others, I’ve taken the position that I admire Trump as a President and would-be savior of the Republic. I’ve also said I wouldn’t have him in my house for dinner. Or, less pompously, that I have never had any desire to meet him in person. I have fought strenuously for his political life and fortunes. No one can deny that. But I also fought for George W and Mitt Romney (as I had done for McCain, whom I genuinely despised) when they were running. Didn’t want to meet them eit

About those White Dudes for Harris

Image
The Boss White Dude Bradley Whitford When I first heard the name “White Dudes for Harris” I thought immediately of Bradley Whitford. It was the role of his lifetime. Playing White House power behind the scenes Josh Lyman, who bullied his secretary to make things happen for the righteous presidency of Jeb “Martin Sheen” Josiah Bartlet, a little guy with MS who was in every way a precursor of Obama but for being physically small and weak and gloriously intelligent like no one else who could talk Christian while being the smartest meanest man in the room.  Bradley Whitford himself went to Wesleyan University, one of the ‘Little Three,’ who always knew they were smarter than Harvard, Yale, and Princeton. Are we cool enough yet or what? I always despised the smug self-hagiography of the West Wing. The longest running political propaganda as soap opera entertainment in the history of American television. Bradley got himself Emmies and Golden Globes pushing his own inane political agendas.  T
