Top O' the Briefing
Happy Monday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Calalyx dabbled in calligraphy to recharge his batteries after a particularly intense weekend of competitive Crab Rangoon eating.
I would like to start the week off by clarifying that I have yet to be swept up in Kamalamania.
It's really something watching the Democrats and their flying monkeys in the mainstream media hype up Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in an effort to make them seem fun and normal.
When they came out of the gate with the "America's Dad" crap after Walz was announced as the running mate, I knew that I was going to have to work on drinking in moderation or straight-up abstinence if my liver was going to make it to November. OK, Labor Day.
The Kamala rebrand is so over the top because we all know that non-coastal Dems are not the biggest fans of Madame Veep. I'm not really sure that anyone outside of California is a fan.
They're desperate to do the whole "dad energy" thing with Vance because Dems greatly need voters to believe that their cackling, bozo candidate has some adult supervision. It's also intended as a smokescreen to hide the fact that he's a raging progressive lunatic. In reality, Snoop Dogg has more legitimate dad energy than Tim Walz ever will.
The marketing campaign will never be able to mask the harsh reality that the Democratic Party's standard-bearers in 2024 are trying to drag the United States off of the commie cliff.
American politicians standing on that cliff have been trying to play both sides of the Israel-Hamas war, and Kamala Harris has been the most notable example of that. She won't say she's abandoning Israel because she needs to appeal to flyover country Democrats. She is, however, quick to lapse into the "pity poor Gaza" talk that is so fashionable among the antisemitic Hamas fans.
Catherine wrote about the latest Hamas/Gaza human shield event:
VP Kamala Harris, once again appealing to the “Death to America and Israel” vote, used completely unverified, Hamas-issued casualty numbers to bash Israel for a strike on Hamas terrorists.
IDF conducted a precision strike on a Hamas headquarters hidden in a Gazan school/mosque this weekend, killing at least 19 terrorists. The Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry was quick to issue extravagant and entirely unverified casualty counts, asserting Israel had brutally and causelessly slaughtered innocent families and children at prayer. Guess which source Kamala Harris trusted? Yep, that’s right: the genocidal terrorists.
Harris immediately lamented the civilian casualties because she and her Democratic colleagues in Washington continue to insist that Gaza is populated with haloed innocents. Once again: Hamas is Gaza, and Gaza is Hamas. Hamas isn't growing their killers in a lab, after all.
This is the same kind of response that Harris had when the Israel Defense Forces rescued four hostages in June. Israel has a right to defend itself but, hey, let's not get anyone hurt during a war, goes the Dem thinking. Apparently, the Israelis should have merely issued a strongly-worded letter in response to young people being slaughtered at a music festival.
With Michigan being so important to victory for either Donald Trump or Kamala Harris, the Dems have decided to keep it in play by giving a "wink-wink, nudge-nudge" to the substantial number of Muslim voters in the state. Who knows if anything short of completely disavowing Israel will play with the all-important "free Palestine" Dearborn portion of the Michigan electorate.
I'm sure that hasn't been completely ruled out at Harris-Walz campaign headquarters.
Kamala Harris is trying to become all things for all people. She's now promising to be tough on the border after years of insisting that it's secure. She's also stealing things from Trump's policy ideas, which Matt wrote about here. Talking out both sides of her mouth when it comes to the Israel-Gaza war may not bear much fruit for her though.
Harris gets away with being all over the place like that because the MSM hacks are protecting her, of course. They'll keep up the "YAS QUEEN!" incurious nonsense for as long as possible. She may end up staking out positions on both sides of every hot-button issue except abortion by the time someone finally gets around to interviewing her.
