When President Joe Biden quit the presidential race under the threat of removal with the 25th Amendment, he quickly endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the candidate to run against former President Donald Trump.
Ever since, social media, notably X, has been deluged with clips of Harris’ many public statements. Her often unintelligible utterances prove not only that she doesn’t understand economics or foreign policy, but also that she is a hard-core leftist who openly advocates ideas near and dear to the hearts of communists everywhere.
The latest examples: Her nonanswer in 2021 to a reporter’s question about inflation and her almost-too-hard-to-believe explanation of cloud storage.
Inflation?
In what one X user called a “terrifying” moment, Harris attempted to answer a reporter’s question about inflation. The answer showed that she doesn’t know what causes it, and didn’t know what to say.
“What else are you going to do to fix this problem with inflation?” the reporter asked in 2021.
The look on Harris’ face clearly showed that she was lost.
‘Well, let’s start with this,” Harris began. “Prices have gone up. And families and individuals are dealing with the realities of … of …. that bread costs more, that gas costs more. And we have to understand what that means. That’s about the cost of living going up.”
Most reporters would have stopped Harris, told her that everyone knows that prices are rising, and re-asked the question. But it wasn’t Trump at the microphone, it was media-favored candidate Harris, so the worthies of the Fourth Estate let her proceed:
That’s about having to stress and stretch limited resources. That’s about a source of stress for families that is not only economic but is on a daily level something that is a heavy weight to carry. So it is something that we take very seriously. Very seriously. And we know from the history of this issue in the United States that when you see these prices go up, it has a direct impact on the quality of life for all people in our country. So it’s a big issue and we take it seriously. And it is a priority therefore.
Harris burbled on about the supply chain, opening ports for 24 hours, and making it “less expensive for working people to live” by, among other things, lowering the cost of child and elder care.
Harris clearly doesn’t know what inflation is or what causes it. Biden’s “best decision I’ve made” doesn’t know that an “increase in the supply of money is the root of inflation,” as Investopedia explains. Nor does she likely know the three main methods the government uses to inflate prices:
• Printing and giving away more money to citizens;
• Legally devaluing (reducing the value of) the legal tender currency; and,
• Loaning new money into existence as reserve account credits through the banking system by purchasing government bonds from banks on the secondary market.
The Cloud
But forget Harris’ economic illiteracy, if possible. Another clip shows that she doesn’t understand modern technology. As comedian Eric Abbenante wrote, Harris thinks that “cloud storage” means that computer data is floating above our heads.
“So no longer are you necessarily keeping those private files in some file cabinet that’s locked in the basement of the house,” Harris explained:
It’s on your laptop and it’s then therefore up here in this cloud that exists above us. Right? It’s no longer in a physical place.
“There are physical servers across the world that contribute to the ‘cloud’ you dolt,” Abbenante said. “Do you want a president who has a Zoolander level of comprehension of technology?”
“Cloud Storage is a mode of computer data storage in which digital data is stored on servers in off-site locations,” Google explains:
The servers are maintained by a third-party provider. …
Users upload data to servers via an internet connection, where it is saved on a virtual machine on a physical server.
Failed the Bar Exam
Given that Harris believes that computer data is stored “up here in this cloud that exists above us,” it’s not surprising that she failed the bar exam on her first try.
Harris attended Howard University in Washington, D.C., then segued into the University of California’s Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco. In 2022, it became the University of California College of the Law because its founder, Serranus Clinton Hastings was a bad white man, a decision with which Harris undoubtedly agreed.
Having graduated in 1989, The New York Times observed in its profile of Harris in 2016, “she failed the bar exam the first time she took it. Harris says she recently consoled a young law graduate who also didn’t pass; ‘I told her, it’s not a measure of your capacity.’”
In fact, the bar exam is a measure of a law school grad’s “capacity.” That’s why those who want a law license must take it. And pass it.
“Most Liberal” Senator
That aside, Harris’ manifest intellectual deficit and frequent lapses into incoherent gibble-gabble mightn’t be the most worrisome thing about her.
Her public-policy positions are far more concerning. Until it retracted its rating because Trump publicized it, Govtrack.us rated Harris the “most liberal member” of the U.S. Senate. The New American’s Freedom Index gives Harris a 25-percent career rating.
Harris does not believe that equality of opportunity is the proper goal for public policy. Rather, she said, she prefers “equity”:
Equality suggests often everybody should get the same thing. Well, that often assumes everybody started out in the same place, as opposed to equity, which is everyone should end up in the same place. And if you then understand not everybody started out in the same place, you understand some people need more, so we all end up in the same place. Right?
“We are proud of the fact that equity is one of our … guiding principles,” she has said.
Harris doesn’t believe that crossing the nation’s borders illegally is a crime, and she is an anti-Catholic extremist.
She participated in the high-tech lynching of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings, and smeared another federal judicial nominee because he was a member of the Knights of Columbus.
