Here’s the latest from the campaign trail.

Vice President Kamala Harris made an appeal on Wednesday to the Democratic Party’s most loyal voting bloc, Black women, as she met with the Zeta Phi Beta sorority in Indianapolis, one of the nation’s oldest Black sororities.

Though the event was officially a White House event, she delivered a version of the campaign stump speech she debuted this week in Delaware and Wisconsin, reciting the Biden administration’s accomplishments and attacking former President Donald J. Trump.

Harris barely said Trump’s name in her speech today and she walked off to a trumpet fanfare instead of Beyonce’s “Freedom,” but the substance of her remarks and contrast with Republicans were quite similar to her campaign rally yesterday in Wisconsin. Expect that to continue as her campaign progresses.

“We are not playing around,” Harris said to laughs and applause in the crowd. She gave a full-throated message on the Democrats’ policy position on abortion access, saying she would “sign it into law.” This is quite the contrast from Biden’s garbled remarks about Roe v. Wade at the debate.

Circa 2019-—Rep. Tulsi Gabbard takes aim at Harris’ record as a prosecutor during 2020 Democratic debate; Gabbard said “there’s no excuse” for Harris’ record as a prosecutor.

By Ella Torres, abcnews.com. July 31, 2019, 9:59 PM

Democratic Presidential Debate night 2: Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Tulsi Gabbard, Corey Booker and six other presidential hopefuls sparred...

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard didn’t hold back when she took aim at Sen. Kamala Harris, saying “there is no excuse” for her record as a prosecutor and she owed those “who suffered under [her] reign as prosecutor” an apology.

Gabbard, D-Hawaii, was speaking about the country’s criminal justice system at Wednesday night’s Democratic debate when she brought Harris’ history into question. Gabbard said that while Harris, D-Calif., is proud of her record, she is “deeply concerned.”

Democratic debates 2019 Live Updates: Biden, Booker bump heads on criminal justice). “There are too many examples to cite, but she put over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana. She blocked evidence, she blocked evidence that would have freed an innocent man from death row until the courts forced her to do so,” Gabbard said.

”She kept people in prison beyond their sentences to use them as cheap labor for the state of California, and she fought to keep cash bail system in place that impacts poor people in the worst kind of way,” Gabbard said.

Harris responded that she significantly reformed the criminal justice system in California and she was proud of her work.

“And I am proud of making a decision to not just give fancy speeches or be in a legislative body and give speeches on the floor but doing the work of being in the position to use the power that I had to reform a system that is badly in need of reform,” she said.

But Gabbard wasn’t done. “The bottom line is Senator Harris when you were in a position to make a difference and an impact in these people’s lives, you did not and worse yet in the case of those who are on death row, innocent people, you actually blocked evidence from being revealed that would have freed them until you were forced to do so,” she said.

“There is no excuse for that and the people who suffered under your reign as prosecutor, you owe them an apology,” Gabbard added. Harris served as the attorney general of California from 2011 to 2017.

...... Harris Promises to Build on Biden’s Record......

Matthew 7:26-27: And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.

"We are not playing around"

Heard of a van that's loaded with weapons
Packed up and ready to go
Heard of some gravesites, out by the highway
A place where nobody knows

The sound of gunfire, off in the distance
I'm getting used to it now
Lived in a brownstone, lived in a ghetto
I've lived all over this town

This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
This ain't no fooling around
No time for dancing, or lovey-dovey
I ain't got time for that now

‘We Are Not Playing Around’

Sounds rather totalitarian in my book.

An Open The Books’s investigation revealed $2 million plus discrepancy in Harris’ allocation of taxpayer dollars. OTB calculated that for VP Harris’s 28 staff, the 2021 salaries added up to $2,334,223. But Harris’ vice president’s office “got $5 million for 23 full time staff in 2021 and requested over $6 million for 27 full time staff in 2022.

Harris’ office reportedly refused to answer any questions from OTB regarding this inconsistency. OTB said Harris’ office is a “revolving door” where there’s a perpetual staff exodus of key aides heading for the exits.......that might correspond to the $2 million discrepancy in her tax-paid payroll.

Payroll fraud entails serious crimes.......falsifying govt documents, misappropriation of tax dollars, skimming, larceny, check tampering, check kiting, billing fraud, payroll fraud, reimbursement fraud, pension fraud, misuse of tax dollars, theft of tax dollars, ID fraud, Social Security swindles, IRS fraud.

Correct! Kammy would not hesitate to distribute from more have’s to less have’s, so we all will be equal. Quite opposite of capitalism and meritocracy. She will be queen of kingdom of 3rd world America.

This person never ran a lemonade stand, never had a job in private sector which survives by delivering products or services in demand in the market place. If it is possible, Kammy is left of Obama.

We’re not fooling around either ... especially with people who say they’re not fooling around as they attempt to “fundamentally transform” our beloved Republic into a totalitarian/socialist (ultimately, communist) state which they, as they often do, have redefined “totalitarian” to include “democracy”.

You ahos “played around for FOUR YEARS and now that President Trump is on your ass you’re going to stop “playing around”? Go back to India or Jamaica you idiots. Americans don’t like foreign freeloaders telling us how to live.

“ they often do, have redefined “totalitarian” to include “democracy”.

Democracy, at the end of the day, IS a totalitarian system once 51% conclude the 49% must be “cured” or eliminated.

Simply allowing morons to vote their preferences (ie, “democracy”) is no protection against creating hell on earth - in fact, it makes it more likely.

Those are some pretty serious allegations.
