Why Vice President Harris Lost.

How could Vice President Harris Lose? James Carville: “It’s the economy stupid.” President Reagan: “Are you better off today than four years ago?” It’s the economy, inflation, immigration, ignorance, incompetence, arrogance, crime, DEI, elitism. How could Vice President Harris lose? She outspent President Trump, $1.2 billion, almost 2:1. She had the support of Silicon Valley. She had the rabid support of the mainstream media. The Academic world was a booster. Her campaign focused on identity politics, slicing and dicing the American populace, forgetting that we are all Americans. The elites backed her. She was young, empathetic. She is an avid supporter of abortion rights. Her cheerleaders included the Obamas, Clintons, Taylor Swift, and Hollywood celebrities. The Democratic Party was unified behind her. Her talking points were vetted through focus groups. The Biden Administration buying student votes by cancelling student loans. Climate change is a major concern for young voters, but jobs are a larger concern for college grads. Factcheckers, who often needed their fact checking, facr checked, routinly hammered President Trump. Lawfare would destroy Trump – federal indictments in Florida and D.C., state indictments in Florida and New York, convictions through a New York City who violated basic constitutional rights and rules of law, monster fraud penalty by another New York judge, unsupportable civil defamation verdicts by another judge, and Colorado trying to keep him off the Ballot. All to no avail. Her strategists focused on women, abortionn(reproductive rights) Blacks, especially women, Asian Americans, climate change, Hispanics, and Arab Americans. She insulted half the American populace. She was defying history. Only two vice-presidents have been directly elected president at the end of their president’s term of office: Martin Van Buren in 1836 and George H.W. Bush in 1988. Both lost re-election. The problem for Veeps is that they have to run against the sins of their president. President Biden is currently rated worse than President Carter. Vice President Harris said she couldn’t think of anything she would do different than President Biden. That was doubling down on failure. President Biden’s goal of being a transformative president resulted in an attempt to radically transform America with the program of the radical left wing of the Democratic Party. President Biden is transforming American Politics by shattering the Democratic coalition put together by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The American people do not identify with wokeness and DEI, speech codes, pronouns, cancel culture. The majority of Americans are White. Accusing them of White Privilege, male and female, is counter-productive. Favoring Arabs over Jews does not play well in the United States. Donald Trump outpolled Kamala Harris in Dearborn, Michigan. She refused to appear at the Annual Al Smith Memorial Dinner fundraiser for Catholic Charities in New York. The last Democrat who failed to appear was Vice President Hubert Humphrey in 1980. Trump won 54% of the Catholic vote in 2024. Defunding the police is not a winning proposition. Neither is providing funds to rioters. It’s the economy. The rate of inflation may be dropping, but the inflation prices remain in the supermarket. Gas is high. Crime is high. Homelessness is high. Interest rates are high. Vehicle prices are high. The private sector is stagnating while government employment is up. Open borders have spread throughout the country. Trans competing in women’ sports is not popular. Abortion rights were a major flashpoint in 2022, but not so much in 2024. She promised to raise taxes, on the rich. Americans know better. Don’t blame it on President Joe Biden. He made a Faustian Bargain with Senator Bernie Sanders to win the Democratic nomination and the Presidency. The good news for Vice President Harris is that she probably did better than President Biden would have. The poo-bars of the Democratic Party knew he was in rapid decline, but they lied to prop him up. Their plan was to reelect President Biden, and then have him resign or be pushed out in 2025, letting Kamala Harris become President Harris. The Democrats were hoisted on their own petard with President Biden. All she lacked was the American people.

When Did Vice President Harris Lose the election?

When Did Vice President Kamala Harris Lose the Election? 1) When Speaker Pelosi led the charge to force President Biden Out? 2) When she dropped out of the democratic primary campaign on December 3, 2000 having staked out a platform on the far left, and couldn’t run against today? 3) When Harris announced she was running? 4) When Harris was anointed? 5) When Harris switched from a feel good campaign to Demonizing Trump and his supporters? 6) When she couldn’t think of one difference from Biden while espousing change? 7) When she and Biden sold out the Jewish vote to reap the Muslim vote in Dearborn, Michigan? 8) When she repeatedly failed to define herself? 9) When she chose Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota rather than Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania as her running mate? 10) When she couldn't escape the Joe biden shadow? 11) When she emulated the Hillary Clinton Campaign by hobnobbing with celebrities?

Predictions for the November 5, 2024 Elections

Caveat – If either President Trump or Vice President Harris wins by a large margin, then most of this post is irrelevant, or "garbage" to quote President Biden. Once again the pollsters will be wrong. If the election is close, the losing party will unleash a flood of lawyers on America; Judge will mostly be unsympathetic to the lawsuits. The Supreme Court would prefer to stay out of the melee, but might not be able to do so. The Lawyer ads will replace the political ads on TV. If the margin of victory is razor slim, then America will remain even more bitterly divided. Alternative A: President Trump Ekes Out a Narrow Win Psychotherapists will be working overtime for months. Peaceful demonstrations and marches will ensue, but so too will bloody riots. Universities will offer counseling to their students. Some, perhaps led by prominent Democrats, will attempt to disqualify President Trump under the Insurrection Clause of the 14th Amendment. Disqualification for federal office, extends House of Representatives, Senate, or hold any office, civil or military” of the United States if they engaged in resurrection against the United States. Vice President Harris could conceivably become President by default. That will end America’s democracy. The ensuing legal and political conflict would make the Bush-Gore spectacle of 2000 look like child’s play. The celebrities threatening to leave the United States if Trump wins will stay. Vice President Harris will join Governor Michael Dukakis (Who?). Where are they now? CNN and MSNBC will see a surge in viewership. The Jewish vote in America outweighs the Arab vote. The resistance already has a plan in place: Send in the lawyers. Alternative B: Vice President Harris Ekes Out a Narrow Win Many will remember the late election night activity of the battleground states in 2020. Philadelphia is notorious for “walking around” money. President Trump will not fade into the background. President Biden spent his time eating ice cream and biking along the beach. Vice President Harris spent her time hobnobbing with the rich and famous in Brentwood. Will she move the scene to D.C. or commute to LaLa Land? The Peter Principle in Action. The next four years will result in national angst. Many Americans will look fondly back at the Presidency of the senile Joe Biden. Fox News will become more outspoken.

The Harris Campaign Strategy Was Simple

Who is Kamala Harris? America wants to know! Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign strategy was simple: Run Out the Clock. Market her as a warm empathetic, moderate candidate. Hide her radicalism. Keep her out of meaningful press conferences and avoid answering probing questions, such as her past radicalism. The campaign is an update of keeping Joe Biden in his basement during the 2020 election. It hasn’t been working. She had the most liberal record in the Senate during her 4 years in the Senate. Senator Kamala was to the left of Senator Bernie Sanders. Ignore the fact that she is a radical San Francisco Democrat. She promises a new path forward, but when asked by 60 Minutes if she would have done anything different than President Biden, she responded: “I can’t think of anything.” Here’s what she wanted to ban: Assault Weapons Fossil Fuel leasing on federal lands and offshore Fracking ICE Internal combustion motor vehicles Offshore Drilling Plastic Straws She wanted to end the filibuster. She opposed President Trump’s border wall, but supports Open Borders. Indeed, the illegal immigrants would be on the path citizenship. She repeatedly donated to an anti-police, pro-sanctuary group in D.C. Does she still support forcing medical providers and religious hospitals to perform abortions over their religious beliefs? Does she still support athletes kneeing during the National Anthem? Does she still support taxpayer funding for trans surgery for prisoners and illegal immigrants? Does she still support changing Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples Day? Does she still support gun control and a mandatory buyback of assault weapons? Does she still support sanctuary cities? Does she still support 6 months family and medical leave? She wrote as Attorney General of California the “legal description” for Prop 47, the one that sparked the property crime wave in California. California voters are poised to overturn Prop 47 with Prop 35 in November. She supports Israel’s right to defend itself, but wants Israel to back off in Gaza. She runs ads in Dearborn, Michigan supporting the Palestinians and refused to meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu when he addressed Congress. She refused to make the presidential candidate traditional presence at New York City’s Al Smith Dinner, which raises funds for Catholic Charities, also snubbing Cardinal Dolan. She did not formally support Defund the Police, but supported Los Angeles cutting the police budget by $150,000,000. She compared ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) to the KKK. She wanted to cut the ICE and close immigration detention centers. She wants to stack the Supreme Court. The self-describer tough on crime prosecutor opposes the death penalty. She contributed to, and raised funds, to provide bail bonds for the BLM rioters in Minneapolis after the George Floyd killing, the Minnesota Bail Fund. She wants zero cash bonds. She wants universal medical coverage from the government through Medicare. She says nothing about her words at a 2018 parade in Los Angeles: “up, up with education, down with deportation. She doesn’t comment on her earlier support for athletes who kneeled during the National Anthem. She wants to tax “unrealized capital gains” on net worth over $100 million. She has steadfastly supported abortion tights – no equivocation on pro-choice. She wants government to lower, i.e. set, drug prices. Kamala Harris is a radical San Francisco politician, straight out of the San Francisco milieu of Gavin Newsom, Nancy Pelosi, and Barbara Boxer. Her father is a Marxist economist. Her two most important statements: I am a radical. I haven’t changed my values. Senator Bernie Sanders said it best: Harris is making a pragmatic approach on her policy positions “in order to win the election.” Vice President Kamala Harris has not changed her values. She just doesn’t talk about them.

Memo to Biden, Blinken, Sullivan, Obama and Rice: How have those Billions to Iran work out?

Was it $10 billion (I have trouble figuring out how much) did the Obama and Biden Administrations give to Iran? How many billions in oil revenue has Iran amassed because you lifted the Trump sanctions on Iran? Where did the billions go? Hamas? Hezbollah? Houthis? Getting dangerously close to building a nuclear bomb? Building missiles? Sending soldiers into Lebanon and Syria? Sending missiles to Russia? Certainly not into improving the quality of life of the Iranian people! How has loosening the sanctions on Iran worked out? How was lifting the Trump sanctions on the Houthis worked out? How have the restraints on Ukraine left Ukraine in a worse military position? Why do you believe sanctions, much less weak sanctions, will affect the behavior of tyrants and terrorists? How have the pressures on Israel help bring about a settlement and release of the remaining hostages? How has allowing Russia to complete the Nord Pipeline while cancelling the Dakota Pipeline help secure peace in Europe? How’s that cozying up to Russia working out? Have you ever admitted a mistake in your major foreign policy decisions? Have you learnt anything from your mistakes?

Predicting the Michigan Wolverines in 2024

I stopped making predictions before Covid, having been consistently wrong. I would not have predicted 15-0 last year, defeating Alabama, and winning the National Title, not after they lost to TCU in the Fiesta Bowl. Michigan was consistently ranked in the top four last preseason. Expectation are not as high this year. Many prognosticators rank them #8-10 preseason, and many predict the Wolverines won’t make the playoffs. I think 8-4 to 10-2 is a good choice. The team had 13 players drafted by the NFL. The entire offensive line has to be replaced. They lost their star quarterback, running back, and wide receiver, two defensive linemen, and All-American defensive back. The early games last season were cupcakes. Not in 2024. The second game of the season is Texas, which will set the tone for the season. They also have USC and Oregon at home and Ohio State in Columbus. 2-2 in those four games would be great. Ohio State is ranked #2 pre-season with the best team money can buy, $20 million in NIL money. The Ohio State family can’t believe they lost three straight to The Team Up North. They had more talent than Michigan, out recruited Michigan every year, and were loaded with 5 star recruits. Michigan mostly had three and four stars. The Buckeyes remain in an extended stage of denial. Some believe Michigan cheated through sign stealing. Two stats matter. The first is the won-loss records. 3-0 in the past three years. The second is the number of players drafted in the NFL Draft. Michigan had 13 players drafted in the 2024 draft. The Team Down South, only 4. Michigan had 9 in 2023 versus 6 for the Buckeyes. Ohio State had 6 in 2022 compared to 5 for Michigan. The three-year record is 27 for Michigan and 16 for Ohio state. Which team had the best players? Michigan has two advantages over Ohio State. First, it may have taken longer than expected for Harbaugh to mold Michigan into a physical, old time smash mouth football with the offensive and defensive lines wearing down the opposing lines. Tight ends and fullbacks play a major role. Run first, then pass. The second factor is Michigan developed its players, especially the Linemen. The lines were mostly fourth and fifth year seniors. They bulked up, got quicker, and learnt their positions. Ohio state’s high recruits often turned pro within two years. The Michigan linemen were frequently substituted because the backups, starters this year, were equally good. However, Michigan State remains the sleeper in the picture. Michigan beat MSU 49-0. Last year, their coach was fired, players left, and they have a new coach. History tells us every Michigan first year coach since 1959, whether great, good, or mediocre, has lost to Michigan State: 1959 Bump Elliott 8-34 1969 Bo Schembechler 12-23 1990 Gary Moeller 27-28 1995 Lloyd Carr 25-28 2008 Rich Rodriquez 21-35 2011 Brady Hoke 14-28 2015 Jim Harbaugh 23-27 Only two Big Ten teams won a national title, Ohio State in 2002 and 2014 and Michigan. The Big (Ten) conference teams usually lose to SEC teams. Michigan’s offensive line won the Joe Moore Award for best offensive line in 2021 and 2022. They were runners up to Washington last year. The Huskies line was obliterated by Michigan’s defensive line in the title game, showing the Huskies were overrated. Alabama, Clemson, and Georgia won multiple titles with incredible teams. I place Michigan’s 2023 National Championship with LSU’s 2019, season long dominance with outstanding players at each position. Texas, USC, Oregon, Ohio State and Michigan State. Let’s see how Michigan runs the gauntlet.
