For years, before he won the Republican presidential nomination in 2016, Donald Trump was something like the spiritual leader of the Republican Party’s right-wing base. He earned his place in the hearts and minds of conservative voters by doing what most Republican politicians at the time refused to do: He attacked Barack Obama as a foreign interloper and openly questioned his right to serve as president of the United States.Birtherism made Trump a celebrity on the right. It made him a force to reckon with in the Republican Party. It made him so popular with Republican voters that, while fighting...

A brazen US Postal Service worker in Tennessee was caught red-handed hurling multiple boxes of what appeared to be mail into a dumpster in a viral video posted to social media. TikTok user @Mrs_Denton19 was dumbfounded as she watched the unidentified USPS worker in uniform go back and forth from his mail van and dump the boxes in the Nashville neighborhood of Antioch on Saturday morning. “I can’t make this up,” she said in bewilderment. “He is dumping mail — federal mail — in the dumpster. And looking around while he’s doing it! This gotta be a crime of some...

Venezuela's most violent gang, which has already sparked chaos across the US, has moved its headquarters to the outskirts of a major American city, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal. Dubbed the 'epitome of evil', the notorious criminal organization Tren de Aragua, or TdA as it is known by federal agents, previously operated out of an infamous South American prison so completely under gang leaders' control that it had its own zoo, swimming pool and nightclub. But after kingpin Hector Guerrero Flores escaped last year, the mafia moved its command center to Ciudad Juarez in Mexico on the US border - directly...

(CNN)Worn out by what they see as entrenched dysfunction and lack of focus, key West Wing aides have largely thrown up their hands at Vice President Kamala Harris and her staff -- deciding there simply isn't time to deal with them right now, especially at a moment when President Joe Biden faces quickly multiplying legislative and political concerns. The exasperation runs both ways. Interviews with nearly three dozen former and current Harris aides, administration officials, Democratic operatives, donors and outside advisers -- who spoke extensively to CNN -- reveal a complex reality inside the White House. Many in the vice...

Vice President Kamala Harris dropped in at the Capitol Pride Walk And Rally in Washington, D.C., on Saturday.

First-term Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, who earlier this week trolled Kamala Harris at the border with a cardboard cutout of former Democrat San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown’s lover, is not taking her foot off of the gas. On Friday, Boebert, who owns Shooters Grill in Colorado and gained prominence for her Second Amendment Rights activism, sent a tweet mocking “cackling Kamala” Harris for her recent statement in which she told illegal aliens, “Do not come.” SNIP In case you missed Lauren Boebert’s cardboard cutout stunt at the border, it’s a very effective one as Kamala Harris — the so-called “border czar”...

The trends on Twitter are in and Kamala Harris has risen to the top of Joe Biden's heap for vice presidential picks. [Skipped twit posts] She's black, and she's female, which is Biden's criterion for picking a vice president. And unless he wants to go Norbit with Stacey Abrams, Harris might just be all he's got, given how he's boxed himself in. Given how Biden is showing greater signs of senility than ever, they might as well even declare her the real president if, heaven forbid, Biden should win. Harris sees that, which is why she's jumping at the chance....

Wednesday on NBC’s “The Tonight Show,” Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) declared President Donald Trump spoke “words of a dictator.” Fallon asked, “What are your thoughts in the administration currently, and how they’ve been dealing with this on top of the pandemic?” Harris said, “I mean, Jimmy, we’ve got a president of the United States, or at least somebody who occupies that position, who doesn’t understand the job and isn’t capable of performing the job. Most recently, you know, frankly, the words that he speaks are the words not of a president. They’re the words of a dictator.”

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) on Monday claimed President Trump’s demand for domination over lawless rioters wreaking havoc in the streets of several U.S. cities is a call for “supremacy.” “Let’s be clear: when Trump says ‘dominate’ he’s talking about supremacy,” Harris wrote on Twitter alongside video of her recent appearance on CNN, where she emphasized the same talking point. “You know, when he talks about ‘end it now’ and then ‘dominate the streets,’ you know, dominate, it literally — one iteration of dominate is about supremacy, and that’s what Donald Trump is about,” the former presidential candidate proclaimed:

@APStylebook We now say not to use the archaic and sexist term "mistress" for a woman in a long-term sexual relationship with, and financially supported by, a man who is married to someone else. Instead, use an alternative like companion or lover on first reference. Provide details later. Professor Margot Cleveland quickly and brilliantly figured out why this change was announced now: So apparently AP thinks @SenKamalaHarris will be Biden's pick and they're making sure everyone know proper language to use in discussing her political rise to power.

Kamala Harris’ first significant political role was an appointment by her powerful then-boyfriend Willie Brown, three decades her senior, to a California medical board that has been criticized as a landing spot for patronage jobs and kickbacks. Then 30, Harris was dating 60-year-old Willie Brown, at the time the Democratic speaker of the California State Assembly, when he placed her on the California Medical Assistance Commission in 1994. The position paid over $70,000 per year, $120,700 in current money, and Harris served on the board until 1998. The medical commission met twice a month, and Harris, a United States senator...

Democratic California Sen. Kamala Harris said Wednesday that President Donald Trump’s support of hydroxychloroquine makes him a “drug pusher.” “He’s got to stop … We don’t want a drug pusher for president. We want somebody who takes that stage and speaks to the crisis in a way that is about bringing relief,” Harris told “The View,” in reference to Trump’s daily participation in the coronavirus task force news conferences from Washington. Harris claimed that she has “no idea” why Trump continues to promote the drug that has been licensed since 1955 and has proven to be an effective remedy against...

FOX just announced Kamala Harris will drop out today.

An aide to Sen. Kamala Harris blasted the treatment of staff on the California Democrat's presidential campaign in a resignation letter this month. "This is my third presidential campaign and I have never seen an organization treat its staff so poorly," wrote state operations director Kelly Mehlenbacher in the Nov. 11 letter, which was obtained by The New York Times. "While I still believe that Senator Harris is the strongest candidate to win in the General Election in 2020, I no longer have confidence in our campaign or its leadership," she added. She wrote that the way staff was treated...

Kamala Harris has been accused of adopting a southern drawl last night when discussing how the Democratic party had taken the black vote for granted. The Senator was asked about her recent criticism of Pete Buttigieg's approach to African-American voters at the debate in Georgia. Harris replied that candidates had been taking for granted 'the backbone of the Democratic Party ... they show up when it's, you know, close to election time and show up in a black church and want to get the vote.' Viewers claimed her accent changed during the speech. Julie Stewart tweeted: 'Why does she speak...

Politico reports. "Of course she should get out," said one leading Democratic strategist who declined to speak on the record. "But who's gonna tell her?" Harris is struggling in the polls, but has reportedly told California insiders that she's not planning on dropping out of the race at least until after the Iowa caucus. But there are fears that even that could be too late and harm her reputation in the long run. "It's not happening," a leading grassroots organizer told Politico on the condition of anonymity. "She has her chance [to leave the race] ... she should take it."

Seems old Willie Brown, the wizened lizard of California politics, knew what he was talking about when he said his former mistress, Kamala Harris, didn't have what it took to make it to the Democratic Party nomination for president. That's an understatement, given the slow-motion train wreck that her political campaign has now morphed into. According to a devastating exposé of the Harris campaign by Christopher Cadelago of Politico: BALTIMORE — Kamala Harris' campaign is careening toward a crackup. As the California senator crisscrosses the country trying to revive her sputtering presidential bid, aides at her fast-shrinking headquarters are deep...
