After years of agreeing with her boss on everything, Kamala decided to make a break for it.
It began with newspaper stories claiming that the VP had been pushing Joe Biden to speak more about the “suffering” of Muslims in Gaza during the war between Hamas and Israel.
The break went even more public when Kamala visited the United Arab Emirates and attacked Israel, implicitly accusing it of violating “international humanitarian law” and claiming that “the scale of civilian suffering and the images and videos coming from Gaza are devastating”.
Then she warned Israel that there could be “no forcible displacement, no reoccupation, no siege or blockade, no reduction in territory”.
At the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Kamala hijacked the civil rights commemoration to rant that “the Israeli government must do more to significantly increase the flow of aid… No excuses. They must open new border crossings. They must not impose any unnecessary restrictions on the delivery of aid.”
“No excuses,” she barked.
Media stories quickly followed claiming that Kamala’s original draft had been even harsher on Israel but had been watered down. This was the latest in a series of leaks from inside Kamala’s camp which all claimed that she was much more pro-terrorist and anti-Israel in private.
The whole thing could be seen as political theater with the Biden administration trying to play both sides at the same time if it were not for the media leaks which very clearly undermine Biden. And undermining the party’s likely nominee before an election is a very odd choice.
Or maybe not so odd.
Democrats are faced with the seeming inevitability that Joe Biden, unpopular, polling badly and rather old, will be their nominee. Removing him would take either a convention battle or a pressure campaign convincing him to step down. And Kamala might not be the beneficiary.
Kamala polls as badly, if not occasionally worse, than her boss, and if the party is going to remove one unpopular incumbent, why not remove both of them at the same time?
As the Democratic National Convention approaches, Kamala is carefully putting herself on the side of a growing split among Democrats over the Hamas war and making sure that she will be the default or at least the compromise candidate in any leftist effort to remove Biden.
Michigan Muslim Hamas supporters and the Our Revolution activists who first put Bernie Sanders on the map have teamed up to push ‘Uncommitted’ votes in Dem party primaries. There are fairly flew ‘Uncommitted’ delegates despite extensive media promotion of the pro-terrorist campaign, but they are likely to be used to disrupt the nomination process.
Kamala already has a very good relationship with DNC chair Jaime Harrison who could theoretically be in a position to remove or replace Biden under certain scenarios, but plenty of DNC figures also want Kamala gone, and the Left is not especially friendly to her either.
When Our Revolution set out to shake up the 2016 primaries, it initially chose Senator Elizabeth Warren, who refused to challenge Hillary, before settling on Bernie Sanders and making him into a household name. Our Revolution has attacked Kamala and instead spent much of its time trying to promote Rep. Ro Khanna: a pro-terrorist leftist with deep ties to Silicon Valley.
Kamala has increasingly adopted Rep. Khanna’s positions and the leftist messaging on the Hamas war in order to get on the right side of a major faction within the Democratic Party. And it’s the faction that is also likeliest to stage a coup against Biden at the convention. If there were any doubt about it, the attempt to upstage Biden during the primaries made that all too clear.
Does Kamala really care about Gaza? While she does have a history of pandering to the Islamist and anti-Israel Left, the only thing she has ever truly cared about is herself.
After a mostly wasted term, she’s headed into a presidential election that will either end her career or put her on the pathway to becoming president. Even many Democratic Party insiders are skeptical that Joe Biden will win in 2024, let alone be able to serve out four years in office.
Another four years may very well turn into two or three ending with President Kamala Harris.
And yet there’s little confidence that Biden will be able to win a straight up election. If he goes down, Kamala goes down with him. But the Gaza coup offers a potential third option.
Kamala has been signaling to Hamas supporters and leftists that she would be friendlier to their cause than her boss. And there’s really no reason to be doing that in a normal election year. However Kamala appears to be betting that this may not be a normal election year. She’s hedging her bets by publicly pushing the administration closer to the anti-Israel side, while privately her media leaks emphasize that she could be doing so much more if it wasn’t for Joe.
Biden had promised to pick a black woman as his number two. Picking Kamala was either his dumbest or his smartest move. Kamala’s unpopularity made it unlikely that anyone would try to force him out because then they would be stuck with her. Her presence in the White House was 25th Amendment insurance and a guarantee that he wouldn’t be pushed off the ticket in 2024.
But Biden had been warned by his allies that she was treacherous and would stab him in the back. Some insiders had bad memories of the time when Kamala had accused him of racism. The accusations began again in the first year of being in office when Kamala became obsessed with the idea that she was being undermined and would be displaced by Buttigieg in 2024.
One particular red flag for Biden insiders had come during the VP search interviews when she was asked about accusing her future boss of being a racist. “She laughed and said, ‘that’s politics.’ She had no remorse.” Some of those insiders worried that she would do it again.
And now it’s happening again.
Last time it was busing, this time it’s Gaza, but Kamala is once again moving leftward and playing on identity politics. She’s once again suggesting that she’s a minority and more sensitive to the plight of minorities than the white man she’s undermining..
This time, ‘it’s politics’ means siding with the terrorists and their supporters to stage a coup.

The Democrats don’t have any good candidates, except maybe Moochelle.
Mo de Profit says
I always thought that Camala would be crowned queen of America but I think you’re correct here, Dr. Bob agrees with you too.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Thanks Mo!!!!!!

Ol Camelnose can NOT be President fr one very simple rason: At the time if hr birth, neither of her two paretns were US Citizens, thus SHE is not a “Natural Born” citizen and thus cannot serve as president.
Simple, no way around that one.
Her Pappy was a British Subject (Jamaican if memory serves), and her Mammy was Indian (as in the country of India), and likely also a British Subject, I know India was a Brit colony for more than a century but can;t remember when it gained independence frm GB. Eiterh way, she is NOT a Yank, thus their offspring is NOT a “Natural Born Ciizen”, the requirement the Framers wisely put down as a qualification to serve as President of the US.
The Document is silent on requirements for Vice President… an “out” for which I hold them negligent. But she certainly may NOT serve as President, and nothing can change that except we ignore that specific requirement. Which we would do to our great peril.
Eva says
That didn’t stop the kenyan.
Ron Wasserman says
If one is born on the territory of the US, citizenship is assured. The only exceptions are births from diplomats or consul members of foreign countries. Simply, Harris is a US citizen.
Joe Biden says
C’mon man, she ain’t never goin to be president, never, Barry won’t let her, so stop telling everyone about it, where do you live, we need to deal with you.
john blackman says

David Ray says
Grifter Joe stabs Bibi in the back (like he did when he abandoned our allies in Afghanistan);
Heels-up Kamala stabs Sleepy in the back although clumsily – she, like Sleepy, isn’t too bright.
Stolen elections have clown-show consequences.
Hannah Katz says
I doubt Kami (pronounced Commie) could win any contest at a national level. It is interesting to see Gov Gav, Big Mike and even Hillary buzzing around the edges, hoping to be tabbed. If Trump can exercise some self discipline to stay on message and avoid name calling and references to the 2020 election, he can win in a rout.
Owie says
A four-year Presidency of a certified moron coming after four years of the presidency of a dementia patient would leave the U. S. with a profound sense of hopelessness from which it might be impossible to retrieve our historically optimistic national character. Even today, the US remains the darling of the world, in large part, because of our vibrant popular culture. Wokeness is taking its toll of much of that. Eight years of Biden-Harris idiocy might finish it off.
Kasandra says
I don’t think she’s trying to displace Biden by “out Lefting” him. I think she’s trying to bolster both of their credibility with the vile, terrorist-supporting, activist part of their party to benefit both of them. Also, she’s an imbecile. Just thought I’d gratuitously throw in that last bit.
Maha says
This anti-Israel rhetoric is so predictable. Harris is just another clown shoring up the Jew hate with all the violating “international humanitarian law” talk, which she and her ilk never use in discussions of Hamas’ attack. She has no place to suggest Israel change its strategy. Once again, she is a big bag bag of hot, fetid air.
John E Walls says
Gaza, Chicago. Both have the democrats to blame for their failure to understand that criminals are in charge. If the people stay in such an environment, it is by choice. Either leave, stay, or get out of the way.
Grey Beard says
“… that she was treacherous and would stab him in the back.”
Oscar Wilde said that enemies stab you in the back, while friends stab you in the chest.
Biden could get it on both sides from Kamala.
Sword of The Spirit says
“Is Kamala hoping Hamas supporters help her take down Biden?”…. does a bear get in ur fridge?
Alkflaeda says
Unless they are adult enough to admit where they went wrong, failures always have to have a scapegoat. And the Gaza situation makes Israel, and Jewish people generally, come to some minds as candidates for the role, even faster than they would have anyway
Nora says
Kamala had us worried already in September 2021 , at her dumb reaction when an Arab (exchanged from Yemen) student “asked” her about “Palestinians” using Pallywood drama terminology (PallyWeid)..

Now she pressed Biden to recycle (the death-cult entity: using its civilians capital of the world) Gaza Death Ministry’s fake numbers too .
