Below is my article which The American Spectator published yesterday.

Kamala’s Media Bodyguards – The American Spectator | USA News and PoliticsThe American Spectator | USA News and Politics

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
― George Orwell, 1984

If synchronized tongue bathing was an Olympic event, the lickspittles of the corporate media would win gold for their slavish treatment of Kamala Harris. The instant she became the Democrats’ Anointed One, the party’s ever-obedient and loyal corporate media adjunct leaped forward to hide her radical past, protect her from scrutiny, and repackage her as an unstoppable political phenomenon who is destined to save America from another Trump presidency.

But who is she?

We are told that as the district attorney of San Francisco and attorney general of California, Harris was a hard-nosed, tough-on-crime prosecutor. But, in her 2019 memoir, The Truths We Hold: An American Journey, she proclaimed, “America has a deep and dark history of people using the power of the prosecutor as an instrument of injustice.”

Maybe that’s why as district attorney and attorney general she proved to be a progressive social justice warrior who bypassed the state’s three strikes law, slow-walked prosecutions, and refused to bring death penalty cases — even when the murder victim was a police officer.

Harris’s Record on Crime is Less Than Comforting

As district attorney of San Francisco from 2004 to 2011, Kamala shielded illegal migrants from federal immigration authorities. Of San Francisco, her spokesperson declared, “We are a sanctuary city, a city of refuge, and we always will be.”

Consistent with those remarks, Kamala initiated “Back on Track,” a jobs placement program that allowed non-violent offenders to avoid jail and have their criminal records expunged by undergoing job training. She made this program available to illegal immigrant offenders even though they could not be legally employed.

On more than one occasion, graduates of the Back on Track program reoffended. For example, in 2008, one Back on Track success story, illegal immigrant Alexander Izaguirre, robbed and assaulted 29-year-old Amanda Kiefer while she was walking with friends in San Francisco. Izaguirre took Amanda’s purse and then, for good measure, used an SUV to run her down and fracture her skull.

Another beneficiary of Kamala’s sanctuary policy was Edwin Ramos Umaña, an illegal alien and MS-13 gang member. Although he had been convicted of crimes including robbery and assaulting a pregnant woman, he remained in San Francisco safe from deportation.

Then, on June 22, 2008, Ramos murdered Anthony Bologna, a grocery store manager, and his two sons as they were driving home from a family barbecue. For the next three years, Kamala’s office slow-walked the case while Bologna’s wife and surviving children hid out in witness protection. It wasn’t until Kamala left the district attorney’s office that the case finally made it to trial and Ramos was convicted.

Also in 2008, the San Francisco Chronicle editorial board criticized local authorities for using taxpayer funds to fly convicted illegal migrant drug dealers back to their homes in Honduras instead of turning them over to the feds for deportation.

“District Attorney Kamala Harris does not emerge unscathed”, the editorial board wrote. “Her prosecutors should have known that convicted drug dealers were being allowed to bypass deportation. If they did raise objections, they were ineffective. If they did not, then they were either unclear on the law or not looking out for the best interest of the city.”

These are but a few examples of Kamala’s feckless, reckless, and downright illegal prosecutorial policies and actions. Add to that her advocacy of defunding the police and efforts to raise bail money for the rioters who burned and looted cities following the death of George Floyd, and you will begin to get the true picture of a radical social justice warrior who has done her best to undermine the rule of law.

Kamala Harris’s Record on the Border Is No Better

And the disaster at the Southern border? Without any apparent embarrassment, she’s claiming — without a contrary peep from the media — that border security was not her job.

But, three years ago, this exchange occurred when NBC’s Lester Holt interviewed Kamala about the crisis at the southern border:

Holt: “Do you have any plans to visit the border?”

Harris: “At some point…we’re going to the border. We’ve been to the border. So this whole thing, we’ve been to the border.”

Holt: “You haven’t been to the border.”

Harris: “And I haven’t been to Europe. [laugh] I don’t understand the point that you are making.”

In June 2022, on NBC’s Meet the Press, she unequivocally lied, “We have a secure border.” Then she said, “We must have a pathway to citizenship” for those who illegally cross the border.

The point here is that in all of her public pronouncements, before she was designated the Democrat presidential candidate, she never denied having any role or responsibility for maintaining security at the border.

But now, she and her media adjunct claim that she was never the “border czar” or had a role in facilitating the influx of the millions of illegal immigrants.

This despite the fact that, on March 24, 2021, President Biden tasked Kamala to “lead our efforts” in working with Mexico and Central America to stem the flow of illegals crossing the southern border.

Biden made this appointment even though in 2018, as a U.S. Senator, Kamala had advocated abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), doing away with private ICE detention facilities, reducing the number of ICE detention beds, and then dismissed the construction of the border wall as “a stupid use of money” and President Trump’s “vanity project“.

Also in 2018, in a Senate hearing, she attempted to compare ICE agents with the Ku Klux Klan.

In 2019, she supported decriminalizing illegal border crossings.

On July 25, 2024, the House of Representatives passed a bipartisan resolution“strongly” condemning “the Biden Administration and its Border Czar, Kamala Harris’s, failure to secure the United States border.” The resolution states that “since Joe Biden and Kamala Harris took office” there have been “over 9.7 million illegal immigrant encounters nationwide”, “2 million known gotaways who evaded the United States Border Patrol,” and “multiple illegal aliens with terrorist ties” released into the United States.

The resolution also states that “the Biden administration, under Border Czar Harris, flew at least 400,000 illegal immigrants into the country”.

The foregoing is but a quick thumbnail of Kamala’s border record on illegal immigration. Despite her denials and the efforts of the media to absolve her of any responsibility for the border disaster, her record makes clear that President Harris would keep the border floodgates open.

After all, what better way to create an electorally decisive block of Democrat voters than to import millions of illegal immigrants, give them free government benefits and citizenship, and then register them to vote into perpetuity for their benefactors?

This taxpayer-funded subversion and fundamental transformation of American society is underway, and Kamala is one of its primary architects.

But don’t expect the corrupt corporate media to address this history-making event. They know their assignment and, consequently, from now until Election Day will continue to run interference for Kamala and do their best to hide her radical past and beliefs from the voters.
