I realize that it's a big part of their election strategy to pretend that Kampallawall had nothing to do with anything that's gone on the past 3 1/2 years, but ... really?

Harris blames Trump for latest dreadful jobs report nearly a full term after he left office

It’s tough: they have to tread a fine line between portraying their puppet as the finest political mastermind since Talleyrand ate stinky cheese with Napoleon, and the sweet girl who had no idea that her boss was doing all those horrible things since he was placed atop the administration. Even so, blaming Trump for the collapse of the Miraculous Bidenomics seems a bit of a stretch.

A one-two punch delivered:

UPDATE: Have his handlers told him that, should Kampallawalla win, he’ll resign the next day? Looks like it.

August 2nd, 2024: Kampalla praises — or something — her predecessor:

Priorities in an election year

And a sale on Riverside's Winthrop Drive

2 Winthrop Drive, a rather unfortunate redo of a 1952 home, was listed at $5.295 million and sold yesterday for $5.4. The listing describes it as “custom-built”, which is odd, because a builder renovated it on spec and sold it to a predecessor to these owners for $3.4 million in 2020, but perhaps she meant “has all the features a buyer would have asked for if it had been built under their direction and control”.

Or something.

Basement 2.0: Kamala Harris Just Needs to ‘Duck and Hide’ Until the Election

Kamala Harris has proved she can draw a crowd. She had a huge audience for a free Megan Thee Stallion concert that was disguised as a campaign rally. Those who stuck around for the closing act heard Harris speak for about 15 minutes.

I reported earlier Thursday about Harris jumping out of her armored SUV, reading a statement to the press directly from a binder, and then walking away without taking any questions. It's been how many days now since she was coronated as the Democratic presidential nominee, and she has yet to answer a single question about anything, including her numerous flip-flops on issues like fracking.

It really looks like Harris is going to try to do the Joe Biden basement strategy … just lay low and let the media campaign against Donald Trump.

If this puppet is elected, and I deeply fear that she will be, the entire soul of the nation will be permanently transformed, from the courts, to our laws and regulations, to property rights, taxation, foreign affairs, to … everything. Our brainwashed youngsters express an overwhelming desire for a socialist state, and they, along with the rest of us, are going to get it, good and hard.

And Kampallawalla knows her constituency: “What else do we know about the age group, 18-24? ”They are stupid. They make really bad decisions.That is why we put them in dormitories, and they have a resident assistant.”

The flying monkies of the media rushed to explain” that this trenchant observation was “taken out of context” (something that they never do for Trump, by the way), but that’s not so: she was specifically referring to college students, obviously, and liked a stopped clock, she got it right.

And let’s not forget Obama’s National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications Ben Rhodes, who in an unguarded interview with the New York Times boasting of how they’d created “an echo chamber” of media support for the Iran nuke give-away admitted, “The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old, and their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns ….. They literally know nothing.”

The Great Replacement Juggernaut rolls on

Legal Insurrection:

Elizabeth Warren says the quiet part out loud: Kamala is going to legalize tens of millions of illegals

Amnesty is baaaack!

The “11 million illegals” touted for almost ten years, while illegals continued flooding across the border under Obama, was always a lie. Estimates of 20-45 million were posited even while Obama was still in office. And lets not forget that the Biden-Harris open border palooza that has reportedly doubled the number of illegal aliens in just three years.

Kampallawalla: “How Dare We Speak Merry Christmas. How Dare We?”

Then-Sen. Kamala Harris warned Americans not to say “Merry Christmas” until there was permanent status for some illegal immigrants — amid a Trump-era battle over protections for some illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as children.

“And when we all sing happy tunes, and sing Merry Christmas, and wish each other Merry Christmas, these children are not going to have a Merry Christmas. How dare we speak Merry Christmas. How dare we? They will not have a Merry Christmas,”

They let them go and, presumably, gave them bus tickets and admission passes to the next Trump rally

Those Illegal Jordanians Who Tried to Breach the Gate at Quantico? Feds Can't Be Bothered With Them

The story so far: Two Jordanians, one of whom slipped across the border as a “gottaway”, the other whose student visa had expired two years ago, showed up at Quantico in an unmarked, empty box truck and told the guard that they were there to make a FedEx delivery. They couldn’t produce any paperwork relating to the shipment, nor any personal ID, so the guard motioned them over to a more secure holding area while he called for backup. Our newcomers didn’t obey that order and instead tried to ram the gate. Hilarity ensued.

Eventually, the Marines ended up with two illegals in custody, one of whom is on the terrorist watch list. They turned them over to ICE and ICE brought them before a judge, who released them immediately and made them pinky-swear to come back in September to face misdemeanor charges. Why? The government won’t say. Who are they? The government refused to say, “because it would violate their personal rights to privacy” WTF???

Here’s what’s been going on:

Homeland Republicans Probe DHS, FBI, DOD on Attempted Breach of Marine Corps Base by Jordanian Nationals in U.S. Illegally

“...In the letter, the Chairmen write,The Committee on Homeland Security (Committee) is investigating the attempted breach of Marine Corps Base Quantico (MCB Quantico) by two individuals on May 3, 2024. According to public reports, two men drove a truck to the main gate of MCB Quantico, where guards attempted to redirect the truck after the two men could not provide access credentials. The driver ignored the guards’ orders, and moved the truck forward until officers stopped the truck by deploying vehicle denial barriers. The two individuals were subsequently detained and turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Reporting suggests that one occupant of the truck is a Jordanian foreign national who recently crossed the U.S. Southwest border and one occupant is on a federal terrorist watchlist. It is unclear if the descriptions apply to the same occupant.”

Yesterday, intrepid diggers uncovered their names:.

The Biden administration has refused answer reporters’ questions, rule out terrorism, or even reveal the names of two Jordanians in the country illegally, one of whom had illegally crossed the U.S. Southwest border, who on May 3 conducted a box truck ramming attack on Quantico Marine Corps Base.

The Department of Justice, Department of Defense, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the FBI all circled wagons to guard even the identities of the two Jordanians against five written congressional inquiries, a sixth by Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin seeking government briefings about the incident, and most recently a subpoena by the Republican-led House Homeland Security Committee of DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

Government lawyers went so far as to refuse a Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) Freedom of Information Act request on grounds that releasing their names was a “clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy and of “minimal public interest” despite the congressional and media inquiries that reached a May 16 White House press briefing where President Biden’s spokesperson refused to answer.

But a systematic search of federal court records by the Center has now turned up the names of the men as Hasan Y. Hamdan and Mohammad K. Dabous. The records also provide an indication of at least what the federal government has done with them since their May 3 arrests, though stop short of why they tried to ram a truck into the military base or how they came to be in Virginia. While one Jordanian illegally crossed the border a month before the incident, the other reportedly overstayed a student visa he'd been issued but never used.

We already know that our intelligence services are incompetent, and many suspect that they’re also in the tank, but this still deserves further investigation.

Where'd he go?

I just noticed that, sometime in the past week or so, the MLS sales report forms no longer ask for the Zip Code of buyers, so there’s no longer an easy way to see where our buyers are coming from. So far, I’ve been unable to find out the reason for this change (okay, Gideon hasn’t), but I wonder whether agents objected to this blog’s publishing those codes — certainly, this site was the only local real estate report that was noting out-of-town buyers, and maybe that disturbed someone. Or not; perhaps the MLS just determined that it was too costly to include it on the intake form — electronic ink’s expensive, you know.
