Kamala's national security adviser calls it quits, cites 'pressing personal matters'
Hot Air ^ | March 21, 2022 | Karen Townsend

Nancy McEldowney, Kamala’s national security adviser, is leaving the vice-president’s office to attend to some personal matters, according to an internal memo. After serving in her role for more than a year, she’s planning her exit. McEldowney hasn’t announced her last day on the job but she said she’s ‘not rushing out the door.’

She said that she is stepping down to ‘focus on some pressing personal matters.’ Is that a nuanced version of spending more time with one’s family? It sounds like that but maybe it’s something more. For those keeping track at home, she is staffer number ten to leave Kamala’s office only a little more than a year into the Biden administration. What is notable is that these resignations are not just run-of-the-mill staffers, the ones leaving Kamala are top staff. No one wants to work for Kamala.

I remember back when Biden was VP, he had his own “personal economist”. That guy’s job was to go on the daytime biz channels and talk up Baraq’s economic plan.

After one day of working for Kamala, I bet Avenatti would demand to be returned to his jail cell.

Yup, he'd be like: ""I want to go back to my cell. This place is full of yahoos."

National Security Advisor to Kamala......that’s a dream job. You basically don’t have to do anything since she doesn’t listen or read her briefing materials anyway.

“Pressing personal matters “ = “I am sick to death being asked ‘how can you stomach working for that TWOT?’”

Hmm, guess your soul is worth more than you originally estimated, dippy.

Thats TEN staffers in a little over a year that have quit. Word in DC is that its a terrible work environ, led by its toxic leader. The only other places you see a turnover like that is a startup company that runs out of money and their employee payroll checks bounce.

Even the White House said it’s not Harris’s staff that is the problem it’s Harris.

With Biden and Harris in office it’s if nobody is in the WH everything is on run wild mode.

I know Benjamin Franklin said God helps those who help them self but God we sure could use some help fast.

If it were Trump, they would be hired as commentators on MSNBC.

Apparently her staff believes that what they need to do is continue doing what they have been doing - quitting.

>A 10% across the board headcount reduction in every department would be good second step

Think bigger. Harding cut the federal staffing 30% in his first and only 1 1/2 years. And that was before the bloat had gotten very far.

Let's not leave the Pentagon out of it. There should be a minimum of a 50% cut in general/flag officer billets. The running joke is that 3 star generals get the coffee for their 4 star general boss first thing in the morning.

I'm glad I never worked beyond battalion level when I was in the Army. Too much BS at higher levels. I worked for a couple of officers that were great staff officers, but never should have been allowed within 100 yards of regular soldiers.

I also had a battalion commander whose leadership style was Kamala-esque. When things were going well, it was because of his great leadership. When things weren't going so well, it's because we were incompetent. Sound familiar?

Being with Harris has helped Emhoff, who is white and Jewish, recognize his privilege—his carefree attitude at airport customs; breezy exchanges with security guards—and see into his blind spots. Harris calls out these incidents in real time, Emhoff says. “She’ll say, ‘You realize that wouldn’t have happened if you weren’t a white dude?’”

Thats the word in DC. She does not listen or read her briefing materials, and then she yells at her staff when she looks silly and uninformed. Ten, thats ten resignations in a little over a year. Unheard of.

The inner circle know Nov ‘22 is likely going to be the end of their Marxist Utopia and they want to start backing someone for ‘24.
