Telegram is where we really talk. Don't miss out!
Happy Wednesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Teobünd surprised even the toughest critics at Twister club with what he managed to create using medium-grade ramen, a few Creamsicles, and just a dash of Amaretto.
Today’s briefing will be quick. Sometimes I get exhausted from rolling my eyes so much at the news. OK, maybe not literally, but seriously—how did we end up here? Oh, right—public education and the leftist takeover of academia (which I wrote about in this gem).
Every article about the election keeps stating the obvious: it’s still a tight race. For once, the American Right and Left agree on something—cue the Hallelujah chorus. But how many of us on this side really buy into this narrative, given our skepticism about polls?
What’s frustrating for those of us who care about America’s survival is the idea that the race is actually that close. Given the competition, Donald Trump should be so far ahead that even biased polls couldn’t make it seem close. Kamala Harris is easily the most inept and untalented candidate for president in my lifetime—and I was around for Michael Dukakis.
Matt pointed out yesterday that Harris’s team keeps scheduling public appearances, knowing they’ll be disasters because the momentum isn’t where they want it. Surely, no one thinks she’s suddenly going to get better at unscripted speaking.
Even with the mainstream media’s constant coddling, she’s still failing miserably. As my Townhall colleague Rebecca Downs noted in her piece on Harris’s recent “60 Minutes” interview, they’re even editing her responses to make her sound more coherent:
“Harris’ shameful non-answer about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was bad enough, but the discussion was also a lot more garbled than CBS News wanted to let on, given that they released an edited clip and transcript.”
According to the official CBS News transcript, Harris said, “we are not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end.” But her actual response was far more jumbled, with phrases like, “many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region.”
Kamala Harris has been in the public eye for two decades. How is it possible that millions of voters are convinced she’s competent? I need to understand.
At least Joe Biden’s gaffes can be blamed on age-related dementia. Kamala, on the other hand, is just… not bright.
We never got around to fully mocking Harris’s teleprompter glitch the other day. My Townhall colleague Matt Vespa highlighted it:
“You can see the fear in her eyes the second the ’prompter cuts out. The woman who would be president is an attorney who is unable to improvise for a few moments in front of a friendly audience.”
Harris often seems like she has a hamster wheel in her head when she speaks, repeating the same phrases, unable to find a way out. This time, the teleprompter glitch threw her onto it. And when she knows she’s stuck, the exaggerated hand gestures begin—almost as if she believes wild gesticulating will add clarity to her incoherent ramblings.
We can’t let this trainwreck anywhere near the presidency. The Republic can’t afford the hamster wheel spinning us into World War III.
