It’s Wednesday, July 13th, 2021…but before we begin, check out the disclaimer plastered across the screen during The Donald’s CPAC speech, then picture…<\/strong><\/p>\n

…FOX<\/em> or any other MSM outlet placing similar disclaimers under Biden when he claimed to have been instrumental in taking out bin Laden, or Kommielaa claiming rural Americans can’t access photocopiers or scanners.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One more note: we happened to watch an episode of a Netflix<\/em> series on tyrants highlighting the depredations of Idi Amin Dada.\u00a0 Though Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Qaddafi, Saddam and the Kims received repeated mention, there was, curiously enough no mention whatsoever of the greatest mass murderer in history…<\/strong><\/p>\n

…or his contemporary counterpart, nor any reference to the fact mainland China has been under Communist rule for some 72 years, a duration of despotism exceeded only by that inflicted upon the long-suffering Russian people prior to the fall of the Evil Empire.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It must be pure oversight rather than an indication of the inroads made by the ChiCom influence machine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, here’s The Gouge<\/em>!<\/strong><\/p>\n

First up, courtesy of Townhall.com<\/em>, Kevin McCullough calls our attention to…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kamala’s Kinko’s Problem<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/h1>\n

“You could see it written all over Soledad O\u2019Brien\u2019s face. In her\u00a0interview<\/a><\/em><\/span>\u00a0with the sitting Vice President she asks a simple question about the efficacy of IDs for voters.<\/span> The word salad that came back from Kamala Harris was so inane, lacking in general coherency and mortifyingly insulting<\/em><\/span>, the BET cameras caught a glimpse of an expression on the interviewer\u2019s face that screamed, \u201cwhy me?\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This revelation from Harris\u2019\u00a0sit down with BET<\/a><\/em><\/span>\u00a0capped off a bizarre weekend in which it was also revealed that she\u2019s \u201cfar too busy\u201d to deal with all the areas of focus she\u2019s taken on.<\/span> She also famously uttered that perhaps she just needs to \u201ctell Joe \u2018no\u2019\u201d more often.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m pretty sure all of that is the opposite<\/em><\/span> of how it\u2019s supposed to happen<\/em><\/span>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Yet this is the new standard<\/em><\/span> from the Jello Commander in chief and his number two \u201cCackles\u201d the clown. Brazen hubris, jaw dropping incompetence, and a complete inability to even explain their simplest ideas<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/strong>.<\/span>..”<\/p>\n

As well as an amazing level of ignorance, considering urban dwellers can’t access a Kinkos either, as the chain was purchased by FedEx in 2004, and in 2008 all its locations were converted to the FedEx Office format.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This brings to mind the disparate treatment accorded Bush I upon the occasion of his infamous bar code scanner fable<\/em><\/span><\/a>, created to cause the impression H.W. couldn’t relate to the common man (That was Jeb!).\u00a0 Any question had The Donald committed such an enforced error, it would have been the lead story on every nightly news broadcast?!?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a related item highlighting Kommielaa’s incompetence, NRO<\/em>‘s Dan McLaughlin wonders…\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why Aren\u2019t Democrats Angrier at Kamala Harris and Xavier Becerra<\/span><\/span><\/a>?<\/span><\/h1>\n

Party leaders and commentators have blasted the Supreme Court\u2019s decision in\u00a0AFPF v. Bonta<\/em>. But they\u2019ve spared those who are actually to blame<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“…To understand why<\/em><\/span> the California AG\u2019s office has been spared Democrats\u2019 ire, we need only look at who<\/em><\/span> managed the office into this cul-de-sac of bad strategy and administrative incompetence in the first place<\/em><\/span>. The policy at issue in the case began<\/em><\/span> under Jerry Brown before he was elected governor in 2010, but it was mainly administered, aggressively enforced, and defended in court under his successors, Kamala Harris and Xavier Becerra<\/em><\/span>.<\/span> It was Harris<\/em><\/span> who went after the plaintiffs who brought the case, and it was Becerra<\/em><\/span> who defended the suit all the way to the Supreme Court. Somehow<\/em><\/span>, however, Democrats and the progressive commentariat have spared Harris and Becerra much criticism for their parade of mistakes.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

…<\/span>When conservatives say that Harris and Becerra are both<\/em><\/span> authoritarian and<\/em><\/span> incompetent, this<\/em><\/span> is the sort of thing we mean.\u00a0Democratic commentators<\/a><\/em><\/span>\u00a0seem publicly unable to admit<\/em><\/span> that Harris might<\/em><\/span> be unpopular for reasons other<\/em><\/span> than her race and gender.<\/span> Yet, there were reasons why<\/em><\/span> her presidential campaign crashed and burned. An\u00a0ongoing series<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/span>\u00a0of\u00a0anonymous internal leaks<\/a><\/em><\/span>\u00a0damaging to Harris has made clear that Democrats on the inside<\/em><\/span> are well aware<\/em><\/span> of her problems.<\/span> The question<\/span><\/em> is when<\/em><\/span> progressive commentators and Democratic politicians will start saying out loud<\/em><\/span> that she is hurting their cause.<\/strong><\/span>“<\/p>\n

Just as soon as they’re certain she’ll neither be running for President nor on Biden’s reelection ticket in 2024. <\/strong><\/p>\n
