American Elephants

It’s getting a little odd out there. President Joe Biden keeps appointing Vice President Kamala Harris to major jobs in his administration, and from what I can discern, she keeps not doing them. Today, apparently, President Biden has picked Kamala to Push ‘Voting Rights Reform!‘ which she undoubtedly will not do either.

Other people keep pushing her career, and giving her an important job, which she does not do, fails badly, and then is immediately rewarded with another job of even more importance. When Biden was first running, he announced that he wanted a black woman for his vice presidential role, and selected Kamala Harris. Oddly enough, he didn’t look for any particular qualifications for the role, just race. And that’s what he got.

I’m sure that with President Biden’s declining health, suggestions of oncoming senility, that sort of thing, there have been some pointed questions about his vice presidential pick. I don’t know all that much about Ms. Harris. She was, I believe an Attorney General in San Francisco, and before that a senator from California, advocating for legal cannabis, a path to citizenship for “undocumented immigrants” and a ban on “assault weapons”. But she hasn’t actually done much to make matters worse either. She just hasn’t done much. All kinds of jobs to do with immigration and the border, Central America, and she did suggest that American corporations should start more new businesses in Central America, but I don’t know if that ever got beyond a suggestion. In the last campaign for the Democrat candidacy, she was running for the presidency, so she has a good deal of self-confidence.
