No Sh*t. Kamala Harris Can’t Articulate The Case For Voting For Her by Elizabeth Stauffer FTA: But sooner or later, Harris will have to face reporters. She will also (likely) face former President Donald Trump on a debate stage. If Trump can remain disciplined, share his vision for a second term, ask voters if they were better off under his leadership than they are now, and simply let Harris be Harris, he can regain his lead in this race. Harris will be forced to make her case in her own words. My guess is that voters will be shocked by her inadequate communication skills. They may also be surprised by her arrogant demeanor. Aside from the fly that landed on then-Vice President Mike Pence’s head (and remained for two minutes) during the 2020 vice presidential debate, the biggest takeaway was Harris’ imperious behavior: “I’m speaking. I’m speaking.” When Fox News asked attendees at Harris’ recent address to the American Federation of Teachers’ Convention in Houston, Texas, what they see as her policy accomplishments during her time as vice president, well … no one could say. One supporter told Fox, “I really don’t know much of what she did.” https://thefederalist.com/2024/08/07/kamala-harris-cant-articulate-the-case-for-voting-for-her/ .

The role of the Star Tribune revisited By Scott Johnson Some observers outside Minnesota may reasonably ask, if Governor Tim Walz is so bad (and, as I say, worse than bad), why he has done so well politically. The reasons are many. One reason is the subservience of the Star Tribune to the needs of the Democratic Party. The work of the Star Tribune in Walz’s service provides a current case study. See, for example, Rochelle Olson’s treatment of the current controversy regarding Walz’s departure from the Minnesota National Guard before it was to deploy to Iraq in this classic “Fact check: Walz’s National Guard records show that Vance’s claim of ‘stolen valor’ is false.” Subhead: “GOP vice presidential candidate JD Vance claims that the Minnesota governor and Democratic vice presidential candidate bailed as his unit headed to Iraq, but Walz retired before his unit was called up.” The Star Tribune featured Olson’s story on page one yesterday. (Dustin Grage has stepped up to serve as a one-man Walz truth squad.) https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2024/08/the-role-of-the-star-tribune-2.php .

Just Who Is the Real Middle-Class President? Stephen Moore President Joe Biden talked incessantly about his "from the middle class out" economic strategy. Given his record, it would have been more accurate to call it the "middle class down and out" plan. Inflation has eroded away any income gains under Biden's presidency. Now Vice President Kamala Harris has her own riff on this theme. Her campaign motto is "building up the middle class." It isn't exactly "Make America Great Again," but Dems don't have a lot of time to come up with anything catchier, given that Kamala was reluctantly chosen as the 8th inning relief pitcher for Old Joe, who had long ago lost his fastball. But Harris and Biden are, as the old saying goes, birds of a feather who flock together. They are running on almost precisely the same agenda as we've seen for four years. The central problem is that the record for most Americans is a lot more meaningful than the message. The irony of this "build the middle class" mantra is that no administration in recent times has done more to tear down the middle class than Biden-Harris. The most recent Census Bureau data on incomes and poverty shows that under former President Trump, incomes of the middle class rose faster than under all the three previous presidents combined. The difference between the Trump and Biden administrations is $8,000 per household in Trump's favor. This same data shows income gains for minorities and female-headed households were larger under Trump. Poverty rates fell faster under Trump as well. https://hotair.com/stephen-moore/2024/08/09/just-who-is-the-real-middle-class-president-n3792894 .

Awww, she's too good to us. Kamala: 'I'll Do an Interview Before the End of the Month' David Strom It's August 9th today, and Kamala Harris has been the Democrat nominee for about three weeks. In that time she has given prepared remarks almost exclusively, with a sentence or two deviations, but taken no questions from reporters. During that time reporters have excused this as Kamala getting her feet under her, as if she hasn't been in politics for decades and Vice President for 3 1/2 years. https://hotair.com/david-strom/2024/08/09/kamala-ill-do-an-interview-before-the-end-of-the-month-n3792904
