The Oak Bay Starfish take:

VP Harris does not seem comfortable with herself.

Running for POTUS, she is heading further into a world where things will be awkward over and again. She does not seem confident and well adjusted to her role.

At the start of her campaign, people would criticize her for not doing interviews and public appearances where unscripted questions would come up.

She has gone out now, and done the interviews and events in recent weeks. Each time, it seems like things don’t go as well as the campaign might like.

Lately, it seems like the campaign’s strategy is about stacking up an unlimited number of celebrity endorsements.

Always wonder how the big celebrities feel Re:

Decades after the lessons of Vietnam, the Pentagon seems to specialize in undeclared/unwon wars.

If people are feeling campaign rally-good about their country, wouldn’t this cross over to supporting new enlistments in the US Armed Forces?

Ask any supporters of any political party if they are sending young family members down to the US Armed Forces recruiting office to sign up.

Things are slow over at the recruiter’s office. The press will not touch this story.

Ongoing Breakdown of Society – A Draft?

From Jeffrey A Tucker:

Many interesting comments are included with the post above.

Full text:

“I’ve paid far more attention to Kamala than I ever imagined I would with a presidential candidate, listening to her interviews, speeches, and so on.

I suspect that many people, even people who are her partisans, are realizing something quite shocking. It’s this: she knows less about policy, news, existing public controversies, and even recent history, than most people who read X or NYT or even just listen to the news on radio or TV. For that matter, I suspect that just about any person on the street knows more.

It’s like she hasn’t really paid much attention to anything for years. Interviewers are trying their best to be kind to her, but even the slightest bit of push on what she knows turns up a big nothing. It’s not that she is being cagey or clever. The trouble is that she truly does not know.

It’s hard to understand why. It could be that she has, for most of her career, been able to outsource knowledge and understanding to others. She has always just been a smiling face, the socializer, the spouter of bromides, and gotten by with faking it. After a while, it probably doesn’t feel like faking; it feels like this is the way the job is supposed to be. She has not known any other way.

Now she is expected to play the part of someone who knows some minimum something about a range of issues, and she simply cannot deal with it. What’s remarkable is that her champions are as mortified by this as anyone.”
