August 20, 2020 (American Thinker) — Last week when Joe Biden officially announced Kamala Harris as his running mate on August 12, 2020, Harris made what amounted to one of the most dishonest speeches by a vice presidential candidate in recent memory. "This is a moment of real consequence for America. Everything we care about, our economy, our health, our children, the kind of country we live in, it's all on the line," she said. Harris, who appears to have been honing her acting skills during the pandemic, unleashed a bevy of emotions during her remarks, as she went from "cheerful" to "empathetic" to "nostalgic" to "indignant" and finally back to "cheerful," all in a matter of seconds. In a desperate attempt to portray herself as humanizing, relatable, and down to earth, she instead reminded us all why the robotic Hillary Clinton was seen as untrustworthy and was immensely unpopular. Duplicity aside, perhaps the only detail of Harris's speech more cringe-worthy than her insincerity was her inability to tell the truth about virtually anything.
Harris heavily criticized President Donald Trump's handling of the coronavirus, blaming him for the death toll, the economic contraction, the high unemployment rate, the closure of schools, homelessness, hunger, and poverty. "The case against Donald Trump and Mike Pence is open and shut. Just look where they've gotten us, more than 16 million out of work, millions of kids who cannot go back to school, a crisis of poverty, of homelessness afflicting black, brown, and indigenous people the most, a crisis of hunger afflicting one in five mothers who have children that are hungry and tragically, more than 165,000 lives that have been cut short, many with loved ones who never got the chance to say goodbye."
Aside from the fact that Trump has been a huge advocate for the reopening of schools, Harris did not mention that seven of the top ten states with the most COVID deaths are run by Democrats, including New York, which has more deaths than Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Arizona combined. Not only was N.Y. the hardest hit state in the U.S., but it has far more deaths per million, when compared to any other country, at 1,692. By comparison, the country with the next highest death toll per million residents is Peru, at only 796. Harris also did not bother to explain how Trump was responsible for the 32,920 deaths in New York State, considering that it was Governor Andrew Cuomo who chose to allow seniors who tested positive for the virus to return to nursing homes, resulting in thousands of avoidable deaths. The state's death toll for nursing home residents is listed as 6,600, but the official number is likely significantly higher. The AP reported that the real number may be as high as 11,000, with some estimates indicating that it could be closer to 14,000, considering that 21,000 nursing beds are currently vacant, compared to just 13,000 from one year ago.
In addition to ramping up testing, and sending thousands of ventilators to the state of N.Y., Trump allocated 350 million dollars to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for construction of alternate care facilities in N.Y., including sending the USNS Comfort ship and turning the Javits Center into a military field hospital. For what it's worth, Cuomo praised Trump back in April at the time, when his state was in desperate need of the president's help, saying, "He has delivered for New York. He has." Harris did not bother to ask Cuomo or Mayor Bill de Blasio why they chose not to efficiently use the resources that the federal government provided them with. None of those facts fits into Harris's narrative, so instead she moved ahead and blamed Trump for an economy that is recovering quicker than many economists predicted.
"The president's mismanagement of the pandemic has plunged us into the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression," she said. The ability to create an alternate reality is nothing new for Harris. This is the same person who said the Trump economy was failing a year ago, at a Democratic debate on June 28, 2019. "You know, this president walks around talking about and flouting his great economy, right? My great economy[.] ... You ask him, well, how are you measuring this greatness of this economy of yours and they point to the jobless numbers and the unemployment numbers... Working families need support and need to be lifted up, and frankly this economy is not working for working people." At the time that Harris made those factually incoherent remarks, the unemployment rate sat at a robust 3.7 percent (the 16th consecutive month that it was at or below the 4 percent threshold), African-American unemployment stood at a solid 6 percent, Asian-American unemployment was at 2.1 percent, 192,000 new jobs were created each month over a twelve-month period, and average hourly earnings rose by 3 percent from the previous year. In other words, when the U.S. economy was thriving and perhaps stronger than at any point in our history, Harris wanted Americans to believe that we were still living in the Great Depression.
Harris also bizarrely compared COVID-19 to Ebola. "It didn't have to be this way. Six years ago, in fact, we had a different health crisis; it was called Ebola. We all remember that pandemic, but you know what happened then? Barack Obama and Joe Biden did their job." As of this writing, the coronavirus has killed 775,000 people worldwide, and 21,927,114 people have tested positive for the virus. Ebola, by comparison, killed 11,310 people worldwide, while only 28,616 people tested positive for it. To put it in perspective, nearly as many people have tested positive for the coronavirus as the total number of people residing in Sri Lanka, a country that has the world's 58th largest population at just over 21 million. Meanwhile, roughly the same number of people who can attend a football game at Princeton Stadium (27,800) tested positive for Ebola.

It’s a radical democrat minority female, her words are gospel to the media.
Her theme is the only thing the Democrats can try to push. The GOP needs to get out in front of it, take it away, and let the crickets do their thing.
“...It’s a radical democrat minority female....”
They are the worst of the worst. This beotch should not be anywhere near the presidency. She’d be obama on steroids.
“Incredible dishonesty in Kamala Harris’s Democrat convention speech”
Incredible dishonesty in any Democrat’s speech.
There fixed it.
“This is a moment of real consequence for America. Everything we care about, our economy, our health, our children, the kind of country we live in, it’s all on the line,” she said.
Probably the only truthful thing she said. Everything is on the line, but not for the reasons she thinks.
A perfect fit for an ever-expanding tokin' public.
Cheech and Chong were prophets man!
our economy will be socialist
our health will be endangered while waiting in queues
our children will be scandalized by drag queens and trannies, and
the kind of country we live in will be a banana republic.
What other kind of speech would be given at a Dem convention other than “incredible dishonesty.”
Re Harris remarks....Those who live in Illinois should consider printing this up and passing it out
Kamala Harris Sponsored Bill to FORCE Schools To Let Male Athletes Compete In Girls’ Sports<>

Democratic California Sen. Kamala Harris sponsored a Senate bill that would force public schools to allow biologically male athletes who identify as transgender on girls’ sports teams. . In March 2019, Harris cosponsored the Equality Act, which would amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 . Among other things, the bill would force public schools to expand female athletic teams to include biological males who identify as transgender girls,..
HERE’S HOW THEY TREAT CONSERVATIVE Congressional DEMOCRATS WHO DONT SUPPORT STUFF LIKE THIS and why there is no such thing as a Conservative Dem in Congress
Democrats weren’t happy with his votes against abortion and on being the only democrat to vote NO on allowing men to to call themselves a women and compete with women in college sports.
Those who live in Chicago already voted at their local public library. But in the reshaped 3rd Congressional district Daniel Lipinski lost because of redistricting. Which had previously included adjacent Chicago city wards to his 23rd in a district that dealt exclusively with city issues such as a subway L service and the Stevenson Expressway Wards which were reliable Dan’s father William O Lipinski supporters. But since most had areas with hispanic last names those areas were redistricted and assigned to Gutieriez’s district. Those results are posted below which actually tear up the concept of a neighborhood and pit people against each other by using division.
Nice. You should have put Hillary in there.
LOL
OH.. and save any images to spread since sometimes the hosting sites take the pics down >.<
Typical lying cheating Indian. Just like the rest of the foreign trash she wants abc plans to bring in.
That is mighty legal language for prostitution-—something Kamala practiced ALL of her life.
Kamala Harris: ‘We Should Not Be Criminalizing Women Who Are Engaged in Consensual Opportunities for Employment’
````
Democrats hear this tripe as: “unlike anything they’ve witnessed politically before”, “fun to listen to candid caring intelligent community”, “hope for our democracy”.
Challenging those charged phrases results in:
“Do you know how to have a conversion?”
“You listen to perverted news.”
(They are for) “equality and leaders supporting the right to vote and healthy environment and peace.”
“The people in power” (republicans and Trump) “are counting on cynicism and people not voting.”
“Vote for what is right for everyone.” This is the antithesis of JFK’s Ask Not speech
They can’t be helped; they have been told by trusted leaders not to question, but to follow and to proselytize the unwashed deplorables. They are forever lost.
