This video is so telling because it both shows how radically left Kamala is, and that she is against what most Americans are for. Double whammy.
Apparently Kamala was ACTUALLY in charge of EVERYTHING for the past 4 years.
Also, Harris has "agreed" to a soft ball interview with ultra-liberal sympathizers at MSNBC. One has to wonder if they will give her questions and offer up "multiple choice" answers like Dana Bash did on CNN?

Harris Agrees To Interview With Talking Head Who Mocked Voters For Wanting More Interviews

Vice President Kamala Harris is sitting down for her first solo interview since launching her campaign with an MSNBC host who defended the presidential candidate for failing to answer for her policy flip-flops.
MSNBC announced Wednesday that its own Stephanie Ruhle would be interviewing Harris on Wednesday. Ruhle previously argued on Sept. 21 that Harris does not need to answer questions about her policy because former President Donald Trump poses a “threat” to democracy.

. . .
“It’s not too much to ask Kamala say, are you for a Palestinian state if Hamas is going to run that state,” Stephens continued.
. . .
Harris previously sat down with CNN for an interview with Gov. Tim Walz after dodging interview requests for the first month of her campaign. But amid pressure to get the vice president to sit down for an interview, Harris failed to explain why her staff has reversed course on several policy stances she held.
Since then the vice president has done lesser known media interviews, appearing on local TV and radio stations. The vice president sat with the National Association for Black Journalists on Sept. 17 where she answered questions about how important joy is to her 2024 presidential campaign. . .
“The problem that a lot of people have with Kamala is that we don’t know her answer to anything,” Stephens responded. . . .

UPDATE of #19:
New TRUMP Campaign Ad that will be airing during NFL football games. Using Harris's own words.

This ad is extremely effective not only because it's Harris' own words, but because it helps to make something clearer: The Dems are the party of weirdos. The Republicans are for normal people. No wonder the Dems tried that whole "Trump and Vance are just weird" line earlier. They know they are the truly weird ones, and were deflecting before more proof of their weirdness came out.
UPDATE:
MSNBC: What happens if congress doesn't pass tax increases?
Harris: but corporations have to pay more taxes!

So, according to her, companies won't leave the US if corporate taxes are raised because CEOs actually want to pay higher taxes so that they're paying their "fair share." Another bit of wisdom from Kama La La Land.

I'm quite tired of hearing this narrative that Trump "killed" the Immigration bill because he wanted to "run on the problem."
First, Trump currently has no real power over congress, so he didn't make them do anything. They just happened to agree with him.
Second, the House introduced a better bill earlier, but the Dems KILLED it.
Lastly, the bill that the Dems wanted to which she's referring, normalized the crossing of up to 2,500 illegal aliens per day before any extra resources or efforts are put into stopping it. In other words, the Dems could just close the gates at 2,500 each day and say "sorry, come back tomorrow," and they'd repeat the process of letting them in each day. That's basically a regulated open border policy, and would have only made the problem worse.
But Harris will continue to spout this talking point because she figures most Americans are too stupid to know otherwise. Tells you a lot about how she views the people.
When I was in business I learned one simple fact.
Businesses do not pay taxes, consumers pay taxes.
That is a simple fact. If my business needs to make 10% profit to stay competitive in business, then I will set my prices based on all my expenses. Those include labor, research, investment into production machinery, materials, licenses, fees, taxes, rent, etc.

Good point. Instead of leaving the U.S., companies will just raise prices to make up the difference. Either way, we the people get screwed.

I'm sure she said it with a lot of very thoughtful pauses, head tilts and nods, and eye squints on just the right words to make it seem just so damn wise and profound. But when you see it written it becomes all too clear: it means NOTHING. She has NOTHING. Her whole career is built on NOTHING.
Not once has the corporate tax rate been increased and the corporations suck up the cost. They will maintain their margins and it will be passed on in the cost of goods to the consumer like every other time in history it’s just the consumer that pays that tax.

The Old Salt
Kumala's policies so far:
ICE is like the KKK
We need ICE
The police are an occupation force
I won't defund the police
I will definitely end fracking
No, we need fracking
Mandatory gun buybacks!
I believe in the second amendment
Trump's vanity wall has to go
We need to build a wall
Migrants need a place to go
I will end illegal immigration
I'm the Border Czar!
I was never the Border Czar!

JUST IN: New ICE report reveals the Biden-Harris administration has let in 425,000 illegal immigrants who are convicted criminals. That is enough people to fill Michigan's football stadium 4 times.
The report says the following illegals are "roaming the country":
- 13,099 M*rderers
- 15,811 R*pists
- 425,431 Convicted Criminals
"Essentially what that is, is it means migrants who were encountered by DHS but are no longer in federal custody."
"It's illegal immigrants who are caught and released at the border, released with the court date years away."
"They're in immigration proceedings combined with illegal immigrants who have already been ordered deported from the country by a judge, but are still here roaming the country."

How Pennsylvania stacked the deck
A Republican gubernatorial candidate in Pennsylvania, state Sen. Scott Wagner, recently sent supporters an alarming email, pointing out that the Washington Times has reported there are 100,000 noncitizens registered to vote in Pennsylvania.
Is that possible?
Maybe, maybe not. But the origin of the figure and how it found its way into the public debate is an interesting tale.
It turns out that, for nearly 20 years, Pennsylvania’s Department of Transportation’s system for issuing driver’s licenses all but encouraged non-citizens to register to vote — and then registered them.
When a noncitizen would go to get a driver’s license, he or she would show a green card or other documents making it clear he or she wasn’t a citizen.
Then, they would be directed to a touch screen that would ask if they’d like to register to vote. If they chose “yes,” figuring that it had to be OK, they would be registered.
This problem was highlighted last year by Philadelphia City Commissioner Al Schmidt.
“Certainly most people who did that did not go intentionally to PennDOT that day, setting out to commit voter fraud,” Schmidt told a state Senate panel in December.
That problem of PennDOT touch screens routinely offering voter registration to noncitizens was fixed last year.
But how many noncitizens are registered from all those years when they were misled into believing it was permitted?
Schmidt says there’s a way to check: Voter registration records include driver’s license numbers, and driver’s licenses of noncitizens have an INS indicator, for Immigration and Naturalization Service.
You can run a match between those two databases.
“It’s not a matter of guessing. It’s a direct match,” Schmidt said. “They’re unique numbers tied to those records.”
Schmidt said that officials of the Department of State, which oversees elections, told him and his staff in a meeting last summer that they ran that match and found over 100,000 hits.
That’s where the number comes from.
When Schmidt made that number public in an appearance before the legislature, it picked up steam in conservative media and inspired a lawsuit for Department of State records by the conservative Public Interest Legal Foundation.
Case closed?
Schmidt isn’t saying he’s sure 100,000 noncitizens are registered today. Some may have become citizens. Others may have left the country. Or maybe there’s some other explanation.
And Schmidt, a Republican, certainly doesn’t advocate a purge of those in the match from voter rolls.
But he does think the department should send letters to everyone in the match inquiring about their citizenship status and urging them to cancel their registration if they aren’t citizens.
Schmidt and others note that noncitizens in the country legally can jeopardize their chances of becoming citizens if they mistakenly register and vote.
That’s one reason that, since 2000, more than 1,100 noncitizens have voluntarily cancelled their voter registration, a number provided by the Department of State.
The mysterious match
But it’s puzzling that the Department of State simply won’t say whether it did the database match between voter and driver’s license records, as Schmidt says its staff reported. (At my request, Schmidt provided the date and names of participants in his meeting with state officials.)
“The department has retained an expert to conduct a full analysis of registration data, and it would be inappropriate for us to discuss the ongoing analysis at this time,” department spokeswoman Wanda Murren replied in an email to my question about the database comparison.
Department officials did say in a February statement to the Associated Press that that there is “no evidence” to support the 100,000-voter claim, and that the number “is not confirmed by any substantive analysis by the department.”
Another side
I made some calls to immigration activists and lawyers, and found them puzzled by and skeptical of the 100,000 noncitizen voters claim.
One activist suggested that the Department of State’s voter database is so backward and clunky that no one should trust the described match with driver’s license records without careful auditing.
If that’s true, you could imagine Department of State officials wouldn’t be anxious to offer an explanation.
Two immigration lawyers I spoke to said those in the immigrant community generally know they aren’t supposed to vote and make sure they don’t register so it won’t screw up their chances of becoming citizens.
Both knew of cases where noncitizens had mistakenly registered to vote at PennDOT offices, but not many.
“In 30 years, I’ve seen a handful of cases,” said immigration attorney Jon Landau. “I could imagine maybe a couple thousand (noncitizens registered to vote), not a hundred thousand.”
“I’ve been practicing for 10 years, exclusively in immigration, and I’ve seen it maybe twice,” said immigration lawyer Brennan Gian-Grasso, who also doubts the 100,000 figure.
A couple of other points bear mention, for context:
If there are 100,000 noncitizens registered to vote, it would amount to about 30 percent of the noncitizens of voting age living the state, according to Census Bureau estimates.
