You Guys, Kamala Harris is all about historic first black woman, or south Asian woman, but woman, anyway, and feminism and equality and progress, and if you don’t support her it’s because you hate women and want to silence them. The Financial Times says so, and they don’t mention anything about a communist economic agenda, and hey they’re the Financial Times, right?

If Kamala Hamas wins, an old joke about 2 computer companies (one had gone out of business and the other was going downhill) can be resurrected about countries.

If she wins, "What is the difference between Venezuela and the US?" "About 25 years"

Of all the reasons I don't support Harris... those don't appear anywhere on my list.

But that makes me a racist, misogynistic, patriarchal you know what.

For me, it is Kamala's support of Hamas and its supporters in the US. 

I don't think Jews will be safe in the US wins, and I am not so sure we'll be allowed to go to Israel, because it would make it harder for the "Palestinians" to take it over. We'll be refusniks in the US.

Speaking of Kamala Hamas:

Kamala’s Jewish Liaison: Biden Pretended to Support Israel Only to Stab it in the Back

Note that to him, stabbing Israel in the back is a good thing.

Jewish liaisons to campaigns usually come out of the Jewish community.

Instead, Kamala decided to promote (or demote) Ilan Goldenberg, an anti-Israel activist with groups such as Peace Now and Israel Policy Forum, to be her Jewish ‘liaison’.

Kamala’s Middle East adviser and new liaison to the Jewish community, Ilan Goldenberg, explains why the Biden administration only pretends to support Israel before stabbing it in the back.

During the 2021 battles with Hamas, Goldenberg explained why Biden was pretending to support Israel.

“What Biden has decided to do for the moment is privately tell the Israelis to stop or to stop soon while publicly continuing to support them. This helps him build political support inside of Israel. It also gives them leverage for the future. ‘But when there does come a moment, hopefully soon, if it hasn’t happened already privately, where Biden says, OK, enough is enough, you must stop or our public position is going to start to shift. Our position at the UN Security Council where we’ve been defending you is going to start to shift. You need to make this end. You need to have the civilian casualties end.’”

“But if he had just started by publicly criticizing, I think that the belief, at least in the Biden administration, is that it might have been actually a moment for Prime Minister Netanyahu to. Stand up to the United States and say we don’t take our orders from the United States. We have to do what’s best in our security and kind of use the disagreement with the US as a political rallying cry for himself at home. And so I think this is one of the reasons why the Biden administration chose to, at least at the beginning, publicly support Israel.”

There you have it. The support for Israel is a trojan horse providing leverage to stop Israel.

Funniest thing I saw today, in fact, funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time. I was filling my car at a gas station that also has a fairly large minimart attached. There was a car parked right outside of the minimart, and the driver of the car just started honking incessantly, like they are trying to get somebody to come out. I thought: That’s pretty obnoxious, just go inside and get the person. After filling my car, on my way into the minimart to use the bathroom, I checked who was in the driver’s seat honking the horn.

It was a dog. Bulldog mix of some sort, I think.
