Well, The Puppeteers have spoken. Kamala Harris it is.
I suppose I could take a victory lap, since I've been publicly predicting Kamala Harris would get the VP slot for nearly a year and a half.
But my prediction wasn't much of an achievement, was it? As I noted five months ago, the DNC logic was inexorable: Democratic presidential candidate Biden is caucasian and has a penis; therefore, his running mate would at least have to be non-penised. A non-penised person who was also non-caucasian would be even better. After all, that's what Democratic demographic math requires these days.
At first, caucasian females had a chance. The problem was, no one could stand the grating Elizabeth Warren; Hillary Clinton had already burned her DNC bridges, was losing her bribe money, and remained a rancorous, scapegoating, warmongering drunk to boot; Amy Klobuchar is actually smart with a mind of her own (which disqualifies her for DNC Puppeteers); and Gretchen Whitmer is clearly a vampire who feasts on human blood each night.
But once George Floyd died under the knee of Officer Derek Chauvin and the racially-charged riots began, the already small chances for caucasian females vanished. Only a sister would do.
Translation: Only Kamala Harris would do. Michelle Obama was never interested. Susan Rice has all the charisma of drywall, and no constituency. Stacey Abrams is delusional and (for DNC strategists, at least) too overweight to add visual value to a presidential ticket in a television age. Karen Bass had already revealed her communism. Tammy Duckworth was too unknown. That left Kamala.

And most exciting of all for The Puppeteers was that now, she was, as she had always been, entirely for sale. Sure, she could scheme with the best of them, but like any lady of the night, she'd also do anything her political johns wanted. She would change policies, attack anyone, pretend to be sorry, believe and then instantly unbelieve the very same thing, falsely accuse someone, shake her booty, pretend to choke up, anything.
And this:
Both are utterly hollow, both represent loathsome policy ideas, and—make no mistake—both are utterly loathsome human beings.
Steyn nails it and as always, it’s a fun read.
Very good article by Tal Bachman. Naming names and giving them a well-deserved ridicule smackdown. Election season is open season.
RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”
There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? They want to create anger and fear.)
Call Saul. We can play too.
A Free Republic is a Fun Republic. Have fun. Life goes by quickly.

Steyn is a joy to read.
Everybody knows ‘black’ nobama was in fact mullato. Harris is only half as black as nobama (25%) and she was proud to be sworn into the Senate as the ‘first with Indian ethnicity’. Demz ignore the politics of their Party by calling her ‘black’ as well as the fact that she is constitutionally ineligible to be VP!
WoW! That was the best description of Billion-Dollar-Bribe Biden and SKANK-a-la I’ve ever heard.
Her Jamaican father was “mixed race”, in fact not really that “black” (Whatever that means?). She has far far less African heritage then Zero. She’s 50% Indian Tamil, then some European & some African.
Steyn is the Wyatt Earp of the Commentariat, a straight shooter, on target, nary a wound from all the return fire.
Why Obama Dropped Biden 8/23/2019, 3:49:06 PM · 13 of 34 Armando Guerra to Kaslin too male, too pale and too stale That's funny. I do think he will get the nomination for the same reason the Republicans chose Bob Dole and John McCain, because it's his turn. He'll choose Kamala because she hits the oppressed minority check boxes. Neither will be selected because they are the best candidate with the best ideas.
I still think that she was picked because of marking off the check boxes, but I also think that the point that she will do anything to get ahead is a very valid.
Good call.
I'm surprised the other stand-ins have their own listeners.
Todd Herman is over dramatic and boring. The other Marks are just boring.
Yeah, where is Mark Steyn lately? This column is his style but was written by someone else. He hasn’t subbed for Rush in quite awhile, and at a time when he is most needed given El Rushbo’s cancer treatments.
Mark’s update and mailbox shows on youtube are now months old at least. What gives?
