If You’re Black, Be Black

Kammie Harris giggled that she smokes blunts (marijuana) because she’s Jamaican.

On the less than funny Colbert late night show Kammie drank beer with the host. She did this stunt because Colbert said she was the kind of person someone would want to sit down and have a beer with. He said they asked her before hand what she wanted to drink and apparently she wanted a Miller High Life.

If she smokes blunts because she’s Jamaican, why doesn’t she drink Colt 45 malt liquor to prove her black bona fides? That would be the same sort of stereotypical ethnic BOVINE EXCREMENT for her to giggle about.

It’s Getting Worse

Right now as I’m writing this, Israel is under a missile attack launched from Iran. Simultaneously, there was a terrorist gunmen attack in the city of Jaffa, Israel with many injuries.

One story that has gotten very little coverage is that a US Naval ship, USNS Big Horn, either ran aground or hit a submerged object, incapacitating the ship. Pictures, have shown major flooding in the lower portions of the ship.  What little I’ve found in reporting is that the Big Horn will need to be towed into port for repairs. 

The Big Horn is what is known as an “oiler” supplying petroleum products to other Navy ships. She supplies FUEL to the TWO aircraft carriers Strike Groups that are deployed in the Middle East. The FUEL that she replenishes is used to gas up the aircraft on the carriers. Without the “oiler” eventually the carriers run out of aviation gas and all the aircraft become grounded. My guess is that as the FUEL supplies run low the flying missions become limited to protecting the nuclear powered carriers and they stop flying missions to intercept drones and missiles fired by Iran and their proxy nations.  The aircraft can no longer execute air strikes on enemy targets. There are no other “oilers” in the region, therefore the immediate problem is that the FUEL limited carrier groups are hobbled.

The previous missile attach on Israel from Iran utilized a combination of aircraft from the Brits and the Jordanians, but the majority of air interceptor assets were most likely carrier based US aircraft. With FUEL hobbled carrier groups, would there be a better time to launch a missile attach on Israel?

How important is FUEL?  Let’s revisit some World War II history.  In December 1944, Hitler launched his last great offensive, which is known as the “Battle of The Bulge“.  What happened during this German attack?  From the website military.mil, “German vehicles, particularly their armor, began running out of fuel, as many of the Allied fuel dumps that they had hoped to capture intact were destroyed by the fleeing Americans. … Hitler’s last gamble in the West had ended in failure.

Liar, Liar, Pantsuit on Fire!

Veep Kammie Harris (along with her comfort doggie, White Taco Tampon Timmy) did her first “sit down news interview” last night (Aug 29, 2024). The ONLY policy that she mentioned was a $6000 child tax credit, which she mentioned over and over again. It was basically her only talking point for her 30 minute interview. She said that her continuation of the Child Tax Credit during her reign as veep, lifted 50% of impoverished children, out of poverty. That is an amazing statistic that I never heard before. Kudos to her IF THAT’S TRUE. Oh wait one…

The Child Tax Credit was established in 1997. This wasn’t the work of Veep Kammie. The number of eligible taxpayers that could claim the Tax Credit was greatly increased by the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017”. Quick question. Who was President in 2017? One guess. His name starts with Donald and ends with Trump.

Stupid as I am, I looked up the numbers for children in poverty by year according to The United States Census Bureau. From 2017 to 2019 (those awful Trump years) the percentage of children (under the age of 18) below the poverty line DROPPED from17.5% to 14.4%. In 2020 most likely due to the China Virus Pandemic that number went up to 16% as ORANGE HITLER left office.

For Kammie to take credit for lifting 50% of those kids out of poverty she must have driven the number down to 8% with her policies.

As of 2022, half way through Kammie’s and Lunch Bucket Joe’s tenure, the childhood poverty rate was 15%.

Isn’t 15% almost twice as big as Kammie’s claimed 8%?

15% is still MORE than the low of 14.4% during ORANGE HITLER’S time in office.

I wish I could spout out BULLSHIT NUMBERS like Kammie can.
