It has become clear throughout the whirlwind career of Kamala Harris as a presidential candidate: the less she says, the better. As the Democrat propaganda machine has labored to transform her from a failed and unpopular vice president into the confident, capable, and cool candidate of joy, her handlers know that the illusion of a competent Kamala depends upon her keeping her mouth shut.
A silent Harris creates new problems, however, as the PR campaign became a little too obvious. We were being asked to believe in Wonder Kamala without being allowed to receive her wisdom. Well, we’re getting it now, and far-left strategists must be tearing their blue hair out.
Fox News reported Wednesday that at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute’s 47th Annual Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C., Harris served up a particularly tasty word salad, telling the eager and receptive crowd: “I grew up understanding the children of the community are the children of the community.”
Kamala Harris:
“I grew up understanding the children of the community are the children of the community.”
Thank you for clarifying it for us. Surely profound nuggets of wisdom such as this will help this country on the world stage should she become President and faces off… pic.twitter.com/XUcmiXx6O9

Ah, now that’s the kind of wisdom we have come to expect from the Biden-Harris regime! It’s also just the sort of high-level analysis that has distinguished Harris’ illustrious tenure as vice president. It is just as circular and meaningless as Harris’ famous 2021 statement on the COVID hysteria and whether the Biden regime should change course: “It is time for us to do what we have been doing. And that time is every day. Every day it is time for us to agree that there are things and tools that are available to us to slow this thing down.”
When she isn’t retailing ridiculous redundancies, Harris tends to speak as if she is a third-grade teacher or a not particularly apt third-grade student. She said this about skyrocketing inflation rates: “Prices have gone up. And families and individuals are dealing with the realities of that bread costs more, that gas costs more.” And about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, we got this classic: “So, Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So basically, that’s wrong.”
Harris also favors words salads that sound as if she is saying something profound, when she isn’t actually even coming close to doing so, as when she said: “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 … there is such great significance to the passage of time.”
At the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute, Harris didn’t even do very well when she was making at least marginal sense. Fox noted tactfully that she “appeared to undercut her own economic plan on Wednesday, saying her administration would crack down on companies who price gouge shoppers before admitting ‘very few’ companies engage in price gouging.” I would have said that she “flatly contradicted her own economic plan because she doesn’t care about consistency or having any interest in telling voters anything other than what will get her elected,” but that’s just because I’m a churlish old curmudgeon.
Fox, continuing in the same tactful vein, said that Harris provided “few specific details about the policies she’s running on for president.” She said that “we should all have a vested interest in ensuring that children can go grow up with the resources that they need to achieve their God-given potential,” but Fox notes that she “did not say what resources or how they would be provided.” You know how they’ll be provided: go get your checkbook.
The far-left authoritarian Harris disingenuously posed as a populist, speaking sympathetically about the hardships many Americans have endured: “Many of you who have and are coming from states where we’ve seen extreme weather conditions in California, wildfires in other parts of the country, or even in the pandemic where people are desperate because of these kinds of emergencies, desperate for support, and then some, you know, corporation, and it’s very few of them that do this, but then jack up prices to make it more difficult for desperate people to just get by. We need to take that on.”
How does she plan to take it on? Fox noted that “the Tax Foundation’s analysis estimates that Harris’s overall plan would increase taxes by $4.1 trillion from 2025-2034, while reducing long-term GDP by 2%, reducing wages by 1.2%, and resulting in the loss of 786,000 jobs over that period.” So if you want more managed decline, increasing poverty, and ever-rising crime, come to a Harris rally and fill your bowl to the brim with word salad! It’s about all you’ll have to eat for a long while.

Ron Kelmell says
Nonsensical metaphor, platitude, and cliche’ all clap trap covering the DNC, Marxist economics, assuming oppressors holding down the oppressed.
How to be “OPPRESSED””…….: quit school, believe leftists professional politicians, wait for the government to do for you those things God created you to do for yourself, never hold yourself accountable for the bad consequences of your own bad choices, bond to people equally wrong headed and there you have it, you qualify for the ‘free $hit’ army.
Cat says
It’s just another Obama & his pals administration with a dummy up front.
If the worst happens he will have been president from 2008- to 2028- that’s 20 years. & What have we done to stop this? Nothing.
Gail Whitman says
One hundred percent AGREE with you, Cat!! As usual…..we complete COWARD, sissified Republicans do NOTHING! Our BALL-LESS behavior has allowed the destruction of our country thus far! HOW MUCH FURTHER ARE WE GOING TO ALLOW THIS TO GO??? Yes…..I’m talking to YOU, elected Republicans!!!!!!

CommieKamlalala kind of looks like Hitler with longer hair. Hitler had a number of pics developed of himself gesticulating so he could always capture his moods. Maybe CommieKamlalala dug them up and is using them.

Cackling Kamalalala the Byatch Whore of Babylon is the lowest common denominator stooge puppet they could come up with
So damn lame and dumb that she makes Quid-Pro-Joe dementia riddles and pathological liar look somewhat smart – hold my coffee while I puke at the allegory !
That’s the best bullshitter the DuNCe could come up with? The demonKKKrats have gotten complacent and lazy like any career criminal that keeps getting away with breaking the law.
The jig is up demonKKKrats — time to pay the piper and be sentenced for your treasonous crimes — LawFare, open borders, engineered inflation and shortages, supporting our sworn enemies and those of Israel, shall I go on?
I don’t have the time…..
Wesley says
The woman is an idiot to be sure. . .I cannot understand how she made it through College much Law School and was able to pass the Bar exam. .
She constantly says stupid things, incomplete thoughts.. .
She speaks like a run on 9th graders paper in socialogy.

“I grew up understanding the children of the community are the children of the community.”
Reminds me of Captain Obvious for some reason.
Onzeur Trante says
A word salad and what looks like an inebriated candidate serving it. With every appearance Harris makes, it becomes more astounding/head exploding that she is running for president and is patently unpresidential on every level.
Semaphore says
And now you know why they won’t let her do press conferences without a chaperone.
Nan says
She reminds me of Chauncy Gardner in the movie “Being There”. Watch it!
Zelda says
Actually, that’s the best speech she’s ever made. She goes downhill with a loud whoosh from there.
