Is Kamala Harris’ third communications director the charm? Perhaps a “tell” that Harris is not done wanting to sit in the “big chair” in the WH? Just whose campaign one might ask is the director in charge of?
Awkward wouldn’t you say?
Vice President Kamala Harris’s latest hire has called for elderly public officials to step down and once mocked President Joe Biden for “trying to complete an answer” during a political debate.
Veteran Democratic operative Brian Fallon will serve as Harris’s communications director on the campaign trail, according to the Washington Post. Fallon’s résumé includes stints as spokesman for Hillary Clinton’s ill-fated 2016 presidential bid and as head of Demand Justice, an activist group behind the movement to expand the Supreme Court.
Fallon has a history of comments that could prove awkward for his boss’s boss. At Demand Justice, he spearheaded a campaign to pressure then-Supreme Court justice Stephen Breyer to retire because of Breyer’s advanced age. A longtime Harris cheerleader, Fallon slammed Biden during a 2019 Democratic debate, writing on X, formerly Twitter, that “Biden trying to complete an answer is a tender moment,” and criticizing Biden for his past collaboration with segregationists.
In defending Harris, Fallon offered one of his strongest criticisms of Biden as the future running mates duked it out for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.
…..
“White politicians and white commentators dont [sic] get to tell the two black candidates in the 2020 race they are wrong to take offense at Joe Biden’s comments. Just stop,” Fallon tweeted in June 2019. At a Democratic debate the day before, Harris and Sen. Cory Booker (D., N.J.) condemned Biden’s praise for segregationists with whom he worked in the 1970s.
“A lot of people seem to be giving Biden a pass for that answer on slavery,” Fallon tweeted during a September 2019 Democratic primary debate.
Meet Kamala’s new campaign communications director
Kamala in crisis: Unpopular VP suffers further blow as communication director resigns.
Two years ago Kamala Harris’ communications director had resigned amid growing criticism of the Vice President’s performance and plunging poll numbers.
Vice President Kamala Harris has tabbed a new communications director, veteran Democratic aide Jamal Simmons, to try to course-correct her office’s messaging in 2022 after a series of stumbles and staff departures last year.
Simmons, 50, has nearly three decades of experience working in politics and with media outlets. His hiring was first reported by The Hill.
Former Harris communications director Ashley Etienne departed last year to pursue “other opportunities.” Etienne previously worked for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
Well you have to say Joe and his team gave it a try.
“Do not come,” Harris said in Guatemala, addressing potential illegal immigrants thinking about entering the US. “We will discourage illegal migration. The United States will continue to enforce our laws and secure our border. … If you come to our border, you will be turned back.” Of course the laugh line starts here and doesn’t end until the wheels touch down back in D.C. Did we really expect anything more of her? Her first foot in her mouth started with her interview with Lester Holt. Nope, she cannot, nor will she go to the border. But then again she hasn’t been to Europe. More on that later.
When Biden announced he was appointing the veep as his immigration czar, he was effectively passing her a grenade whose pin he had already pulled. When Harris went to Guatemala, that country’s president flat-out blamed Biden’s policies for the surge north. He said the United States’ “message changed to, ‘We are going to reunite families and we are going to reunite children’ … The very next day the coyotes here were organizing groups of children to take them to the United States.”
Trying to project authority and get a handle on the crisis, Harris was as convincing as Kevin Bacon at the end of “Animal House,” screaming, “Remain calm! All is well!” as the crowd stampedes over him.
Kamala having a wonderful time South of the Border.
Tucker Carlson ‘Tonight’ recaps the Vice President’s latest blunders.
Tucker: “Media treats Kamala like a demi-God”
Kamala has not been to the border, but then she said she hadn’t been to Europe either. That indicates she hasn’t been to Spain either apparently. Something to end on a happy note. Crank er up.
When was the last time an administration encouraged American jobs to go overseas? So much for America First. As the hordes descend upon us, our savant, one Kamala Harris, has been tasked with solving our border crisis. Not bad enough to have millions storm our borders, better yet let’s send our jobs to the various hell holes of corruption. Meanwhile we send billions throughout the world in the form of so-called foreign aid. The thought of Harris negotiating with these third world countries should put a chill down anyone’s spine.
Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday unveiled the agreements of 12 companies and organizations to invest in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador as part of the administration’s efforts to deal with a surge of migrants from Central America at the U.S. southern border.
……..
Biden administration officials have said the aim in part is for greater private-sector involvement to outlast shifts in policy and government aid between administrations, reducing over time the motivations for migrants to make the often dangerous journey to the U.S. border.
……
While leading a recent GOP delegation to visit the border, Rep. James Comer (R., Ky.) said more government investments in the region wouldn’t deter migrants from making the journey to the U.S. “We’ve been giving foreign aid to a lot of those countries for decades, and it’s only gotten worse,” he said.
….
Ms. Harris has said that private-sector investment along with help from nonprofits and the United Nations could speed up progress in the Northern Triangle. “We must think beyond government,” she said in a speech earlier this month to the Council of the Americas, a business group that focuses on economic and social development in the Western Hemisphere.
One potential hindrance for companies has been corruption. The Northern Triangle countries are among the most corrupt in the world, according to Transparency International’s annual Corruption Perceptions Index, a global survey of 180 countries.
A redesign of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation website will make it harder for voters to inspect Sen. Kamala Harris’s controversial record as the state’s Attorney General. Flashback August 3, 2019:
Are we really surprised?
The department removed public access to a number of reports on incarceration in the state, including when presidential candidate Kamala Harris (D.) was California’s attorney general. Twice a year, the CDCR releases information about the number of new individuals incarcerated in the California prison system as part of its “Offender Data Points” series.
These reports provide important information on demographics, sentence length, offense type, and other figures relevant to criminal justice and incarceration.
Until recently, these reports were publicly available at the CDCR’s website. A search using archive.org’s Wayback Machine reveals that as of April 25, 2019—the most recent indexed date—ODP reports were available dating back to the spring of 2009. As of August 2019, the same web page now serves only a single ODP report, the one for Spring 2019.
One particularly brutal attack came the night when Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D., Hi.) laid into Harris for her record on criminal justice. Gabbard cited a Washington Free Beacon analysis — based in part on the ODP reports — that found that more than 1,500 Californians were sent to prison for marijuana-related offenses while Harris was attorney general.
The data have been used in other Free Beacon reporting on Harris, specifically the finding that more than 120,000 black and Latino Californians were sent to prison while she was in the State A.G.’s office.
Here Tucker Carlson opines on the matter last year-
Here we have a Tucker interview with Peter Schweizer and discusses Kamala Harris’s record prior to her presidential run done August 12, 2020. As they say, follow the money.
BREAKING: Texts between Obama aide Tina Tchen and Kim Foxx, who dropped charges against Jussie Smollett, have leaked. An investigation into whether Foxx dropped charges against Smollett at the request of Tina Tchen is underway. Michelle Obama also knew Smollett very well pic.twitter.com/TvV5ZvXNKj
Let’s take a stroll down the rabbit hole. Hang with me. I am about to spin a tale. Keep your eye on the dates. I think Harris knows a lot more than she cares to share.
I pointed out in November 2009 that Tchen, a high-powered campaign finance bundler for Team Obama who personally raised more than $200,000 while a lawyer at Skadden Arps, is listed in White House visitor logs as having met there with none other than… George Soros.From Michelle Malkin
Among the many moves afoot, Tina Tchen, who is responsible for working with outside groups, is preparing to move to the East Wing to serve as First Lady Michelle Obama’s chief of staff, according to two Democrats close to the White House.
Tchen may be filling a new position, but she is no newcomer to Washington politics. Tchen has been a longtime friend and political ally of the Obamas and is close friends with White House senior advisor Valerie Jarrett, another Chicago veteran associate of the first couple.
Court records show that Olabinjo Osundairo was charged with attempted murder in a 2011 stabbing that occurred in the 4200 block of North Ashland. That is less than a block from the home that police raided in the Smollett investigation, where they recovered personal effects, including cell phones, a source said.
Olabinjo Osundairo reached a plea deal with prosecutors and pleaded guilty to aggravated battery; he was sentenced to two years of probation and ordered to pay a $674 fine. (Ed: It’s Chicago don’t forget.)
Back to the original story:
From Senator Harris office: October 11, 2018
Senate Judiciary Committee Advances Anti-Lynching Legislation Introduced by Harris, Booker, and Scott
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously voted to advance the bipartisan Justice for Victims of Lynching Act of 2018, historic legislation that would criminalize lynching, attempts to lynch, and conspiracy to lynch for the first time in American history.
The legislation was originally introduced in June 2018 by U.S. Senators Kamala D. Harris (D-CA), Cory Booker (D-NJ), and Tim Scott (R-SC).
“Lynching is a dark and despicable part of our country’s history. These were acts of violence, needless and horrendous acts of violence that were motivated by racism. And we must acknowledge that, lest we repeat it,” said Senator Harris, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee. “These were crimes that were committed against innocent people. These are crimes that should have been prosecuted. There are victims and their families that should have received justice and did not. With this bill, we have a chance to speak the truth about our past make clear that these hateful acts should never happen again.”
It’s finally official: Kamala Harris is running for president.
She made the announcement on Martin Luther King Jr. Day
Enter one Jussie Smollett: Jan 29, 2019 –
The Chicago Police Department said it is investigating 36-year-old Empire star Jussie Smollett’s report to authorities that he was assaulted early Tuesday morning by two suspects who yelled out “racial and homophobic slurs.” Included was a rope placed around his neck.
The claim by now has fallen apart. No need to rehash the details.
she (Harris) said Smollett was the victim of “an attempted modern-day lynching” and called the actor “one of the kindest, most gentle human beings I know.” Harris has also used the Smollett attack to push legislation that would make lynching a federal hate crime.
Reports are that Smollett supported Harris and worked on her behalf. During an appearance at a bookstore in Concord, N.H., a female reporter asked the senator from California if she wanted to amend a tweet from Jan. 29, in which she said Smollett was the victim of “an attempted modern-day lynching” and called the actor “one of the kindest, most gentle human beings I know.”
Senators Kamala Harris and Cory Booker did jump on the hoax first, claiming it’s a “modern-day lynching,” just as they were trying to pass their propaganda bill, The Anti-Lynching Act.
Monica Showalter at American Thinker points to a series of tweets by film producer Tariq Nasheed in which he postulates that the two senators were possibly part of the setup. His tweets are available here.
Nasheed believes it goes beyond the two brothers Ola and Abel and Jussie. As he says in his first two tweets, Harris has campaigned with Jussie. He also says the Lynching Act is a favor to certain groups — white LGBTs — and these two senators are funded by them. More Independent sentinel
“Which tweet? What tweet?” Harris asked. As the reporter specified the tweet in question, Harris appeared to look around for a campaign staffer before responding.

Jussie Smollett attack: Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx recuses herself from investigation
CHICAGO — Feb 19, 2019
Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx has recused herself from the investigation surrounding the alleged attack on “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett, her office told ABC News on Tuesday.
“Out of an abundance of caution, the decision to recuse herself was made to address potential questions of impartiality based upon familiarity with potential witnesses in the case,” a spokeswoman told ABC News via email.
But more than any of that, it is arguably Foxx’s zest for storytelling — or more particularly, for telling her story — that has captured the attention of both her constituents and celebrities.
She now counts the rapper Common and singer John Legend as friends, and a while back, when she saw the superstar U.S. senator Kamala Harris across the room at an Emily’s List event and went over to introduce herself, Foxx had barely gotten a word out before Harris interrupted and said, “You’re Kim Foxx! I’ve been watching you.”
Now isn’t that something? The coup de gras

Senate passes anti-lynching bill in renewed effort to make it a federal hate crime
Washington (CNN)Two competitors for the 2020 Democratic nomination joined forces Thursday in a renewed effort to pass their anti-lynching legislation.
The Senate passed the legislation from California Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris, New Jersey Democratic Sen. Cory Booker and South Carolina GOP Sen. Tim Scott last year, but the House never took up the measure. On Thursday, the Senate again passed the bill via unanimous consent.
If signed into law, the Justice for Victims of Lynching Act would outline the specific killing of lynching, noting its violent and racist legacy, and add it to the federal list of hate crimes. As Booker’s office noted Thursday, the vote followed more than a century of efforts to outlaw lynching that have failed to pass.
Following Thursday’s unanimous vote in the Senate, the bill would then go to the House before President Donald Trump can sign it into law.
,,,Booker said they had been working on the bill “quite a bit,” and when asked if he felt dynamics had changed in the Senate with himself and other Democrats running against each other, Booker said his colleagues were “sisters and brothers.”
Conspiracy theories are just that. A theory. I have serious reservations that Harris was complicit in the plan. But she does know Jussie Smollett. He knew she wanted/needed a racially charged bill to pass congress to give a lift to her campaign. What better to rile the troops as she charges forth with her campaign?
