What’s Wrong with Higher Wages, Lower Costs, and a Country at Peace?
“We’re Not Going Back” is one of Kamala Harris’s campaign slogans. Perhaps she might want to table that idea. Just maybe, suggests Roger Kimball in American Greatness, voters would like to go back to the Trump era when “the cost of living was lower, wages were higher, and the country was at peace.”
Kamala’s Tie-Breaking Votes
Does Kamala not realize that she and President Joe Biden have been running the country for the last almost four years?
(Biden/Harris) are the incumbents. All the talk of joy and sampling of caramel-covered cakes cannot obscure that reality.
It was Kamala, in her role as President of the Senate, who cast the tie-breaking vote on many left-wing initiatives, indeed she has cast more tie-breaking votes than any vice-president in history (32, one more than John C. Calhoun).
Running Against a System
Vivek Ramaswamy on X brought up Kamala’s “Potemkin” interview with Dana Bash:
Kamala’s interview … was a reminder that we’re not running against a candidate. We’re running against a *system*. They require a candidate they can control, which means having original ideas is a disqualification. That’s exactly why we get Biden, then Kamala, and so on.
The Machine in Charge
Vivek calls it the “system.” Roger Kimball calls it the “committee.” Regardless of what you call it, the unanswered questions are the same:
Who’s on the governing board, the executive council? The exact composition of this globalist posse is classified, but the spiritual doorknobs of the requisite chambers should be dusted for fingerprints. Exactly who, for example, told Joe Biden he had to go, the voters be damned? Whoever it was you can be sure that they’re on The Committee, they’re voting members of “the system.”
A Crumbling, Crackling Cavalcade
Are voters, asks Roger Kimball, really going to hand the country over to this shadowy council that supplies our presidents, wages our wars, and commits us to various policies about everything from abortion and the border to taxes, free speech, and individual liberty?
The alternative—it’s the only live alternative—is the MAGA agenda of Donald Trump, filled out and supplemented by JD Vance and now Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard. More people will be joining this caravan.
