The Human Costs Of Kamala Harris’ War On Truancy

Kamala Harris laughed about jailing parents over truancy. But it's not funny





Harris cheerfully recounts the story of sending an attorney from her office to intimidate a homeless single mother whose children were missing school. She smiles as she recalls how she instructed her subordinates to “look really mean” so that the mother would take the threat of jail seriously. In separate footage, Harris mocks those on the left who say things like “build schools, not jails” and “put more money into education, not prisons”, suggesting they are naive sloganeers who do not understand crime prevention.

Here we see the limits of the “prosecutorial mindset”. Like the old slogan “when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail,” when all you have is the ability to bring criminal charges, everything looks like a crime.

Harris looked at the problem of perpetual truancy and believed she ought to start locking up parents. A humane progressive looks at the problem and asks: why do absences actually occur? Truancy occurs disproportionately among children whose parents are poor and less-educated, and among children who don’t feel safe at school, who have to work or support their families, who have mental and physical health issues, and who are in unstable living situations.

Given the social reality, the idea of fining or jailing parents over student absences is both cruel and unwise. It targets the poorest and most desperate parents, and it doesn’t actually address the root causes. Even if it succeeds in reducing truancy rates, it inflicts yet more burdens on the most vulnerable people in society. But it’s not even clear that it succeeds even by its own standard, with research suggesting that “although truancy proceedings can increase a child’s school attendance in the short term, answering to a judge for school absence does not help students graduate from high school or avoid crime”.

Peoples consensual sexual and personal relationship have no bearing on their ability to govern.

When you get your 1st political appointment because of who you are ****ing it tends to cast a shadow on your abilities.

Aren't you the one trying to make a big deal out of Trump and a couple of mistresses ?

Willie Brown admits it: Kamala Harris slept her way to the top

You know, the mistress thing, not exactly moving on up based on hard work or merit, that little advantage of good looks (President Obama called her the 'best-looking' state attorney general), employed to their optimal practical use. Her political patron, former lawyer to pimps, Mayor of San Francisco, and State Assembly Speaker Willie Brown, admitted he helped her get her political start, writing in his bloggy San Francisco Chronicle column:

Yes, we dated. It was more than 20 years ago. Yes, I may have influenced her career by appointing her to two state commissions when I was Assembly speaker.
And I certainly helped with her first race for district attorney in San Francisco. I have also helped the careers of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Gov. Gavin Newsom, Sen. Dianne Feinstein and a host of other politicians.

Now you know where we get these people from. Somehow Harris, who was in her late 20s or at most 30 when she dated the 60-year-old married Brown around 1994 did so because he was just so very irresistable.

Just because you believe she traded sexual favors for advancement doesn’t make it true.

The fact you believe a women of color can’t accomplish these things on her own is the problem.

Racist ..... YOU Are Projecting

 

[GURPS]

Finish that quote


"I have also helped the careers of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Gov. Gavin Newsom, Sen. Dianne Feinstein and a host of other politicians," he added.
"The difference is that Harris is the only one who, after I helped her, sent word that I would be indicted if I 'so much as jaywalked' while she was D.A.," Brown wrote. "That’s politics for ya." “

that does NOT change fact she was ****ing the guy

 

[GURPS]

But you disbelieve the 21 women who have accused Trump?

Where are the lawsuits and criminal charges ?

His ex wife who said under oath he raped her?

Trump’s first wife Ivana questioned about allegations he raped her during interview on marriage

In a separate interview with Time Magazine, Ivana was asked about allegations she reportedly made in a 1991 sworn deposition that she was raped by the reality TV star three years previously.

“That was all just the lawyers' talk”, she said, after having previously clarified she did not accuse him in “a literal or criminal sense”.

or the young girl who said Trump and Epstein took turns raping her?

LIAR ......

Like I said she is a shrewd pick because anything Trump tries to attack her with he is guilty of himself.

YOU Are Projecting Again

Kamala Harris’s Ancestors Owned Slaves, Too

 

[GURPS]

Her father is a Black Jamaican of African descent.

Why some African Americans are questioning Kamala Harris’s blackness

“I think they don’t understand who black people are,” Harris said. “I’m not going to spend my time trying to educate people about who black people are. Because right now, frankly, I’m focused on, for example, an initiative that I have that is called the LIFT Act that is about lifting folks out of poverty.”

Harris has had life experiences different from those of many black Americans. Her father is a Jamaican immigrant; her mother is a Tamil Indian immigrant. Her husband is a white man from New York. While she was born in Oakland — a city with a rich history of African American activism — Harris spent her early childhood in Berkeley, Calif., and worshiped at a Hindu temple in addition to attending black Baptist services. She attended high school in Montreal before returning to the United States for college at Howard University, a historically black college.

These differences may help explain why some voters want to know more about her background. Some want to know that she understands some of the issues affecting black Americans since the emancipation of slaves. Harris has said that she supports reparations for the descendants of black people who were enslaved in the United States.

But those asking more questions have attempted to explain the intentions behind their inquiries.

Kamala Harris On the Ticket Is an In-Kind Donation to Trump-Pence 2020

What Harris Brings to the Ticket
Baggage, for starters. Enough baggage to fill a fleet of 747s. Tyler goes over much of it here and here.

Harris has been a, shall we say, problematic candidate from the get-go. Her tenures as both the district attorney in San Francisco and the attorney general of California left a lot to be desired. I wrote in a post early last year speculating that she may be her own toughest obstacle because of this:

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) is not only running against an ever-growing field of fellow Democrats for the 2020 presidential election, but also against what may prove to be a couple of far more formidable opponents: her own records as the district attorney of San Francisco and later the attorney general of California.
What’s problematic for Harris is that the people who have the most problems with her records are the very progressives she seeks to secure as her base.

A Capitol Hill friend of mine joked that Harris on the ticket might put California in play for the Republicans, which serves as a humorous segue to the next point here.

Conventional wisdom dictates that the out-of-power party’s nominee choose a running mate that can deliver votes from a part of the country that the candidate needs.


Spoiler alert: California’s electoral votes were already Biden’s.

From a practical, electoral vote standpoint, Harris brings nothing to the ticket. The deep blue states that were already going to vote for der Bidengaffer are still going to vote for him. Does anyone really think that she is going win over hearts and minds in swing states?

Kamala the Mattress Did Not Quite Sleep Her Way to the Top


It was against that backdrop that Kamala Harris rose to prominence as public arm-candy-with-extra-benefits to Willie.

California has become a one-party state. The Democrats hold everything statewide. Remember United States Sen. Barbara Boxer? (“Y’know, can you do me a favor and say ‘Senator’ instead of ‘Ma’am’? It’s just a thing. I worked so hard to get that title.”) When she retired, Kamala Harris slithered in. She shamelessly made her rounds throughout the state as plaything to the very married Willie Brown. It is not clear how much Kamala was Willie Brown’s mistress, but she clearly was his mattress. Harris slept her way into prominence by being Willie’s public escort and consort. During the incredibly public affair, everyone knew of it and also knew that Brown still was very married. In the poetically immortal words of Blanche Brown, the ostensibly feckless wife: “Listen, she may have him at the moment, but come inauguration day and he’s up there on the platform being sworn in, I’ll be the b***h holding the Bible.” (Well, maybe Blanche had some feck.)

With Willie’s backing, Kamala rose from underneath him. She became California attorney general and thereafter U.S. senator. Nevertheless, most Californians never really knew who the heck she is. Really. I know this because (i) I am a Californian since 1987, (ii) I follow the news like a hawk, and yet (iii) I had no idea what she looked like, sounded like, stood for, or even how she pronounced her name … until she ran for president. Inasmuch as there literally is no Republican competition on state ballots, whoever the Democrats put on the ballot is the person who gets elected. Most everyone in California in those days pronounced her first name with the emphasis on the first syllable, like the desert animal known for its humps.

Kamala Harris’s Final Poll Number in Home State of California: 7%

Harris started slowly in California, only reaching fourth place in the crowded field in June 2019, at 13%. But she soon surged, particularly after the first presidential primary debate in Miami, Florida, when she attacked Biden over his past support for segregationists, and his opposition to mandatory school integration (“busing”). She led the Democratic Party field in California in July 2019, with 23% of the vote.

But she received only tepid support from other elected Democrats in the state, and “progressive” activists remained wary, especially with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in the race.

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) also took the fight to Harris in the second presidential debate in Detroit, Michigan, focusing negative attention on Harris’s checkered record as a prosecutor in San Francisco and as California Attorney General.

By the fall of 2019, Harris had fallen back into single digits in some California polls, while the frontrunners — Sanders, Biden, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) — were into the 20’s.

Sent into "The Five"'s Ask Anything Friday for them to ask Donna how she was planning to get debate questions to Biden this election cycle.

 

[PsyOps]

You really don’t get it. If you get what you are wishing for, I can guarantee you that you won’t like it.

And I think, perhaps, you don't get people like Crabby. There is never a lack for these kinds of people that want government to provide us everything. They want endless guarantees without really having to work for it. And the only answer to that is for government to ensure those guarantees. The progressives get up there and pander to the weak-minded: free healthcare, free housing, free education, free food... and the Crabbys of the country gaze upon these liars with amazement saying "you mean I don't have to work for it anymore?" and "now everything will be fair for everyone" and "The wealthy can no longer steal all the wealth"... Obama wasn't ashamed to admit it when he told Joe The Plumber that spreading the wealth around is good for the economy. The whole idea of "spread the wealth" has morphed into free everything.

Crabby and his ilk have nothing but contempt for people that work their asses off and demand to be rewarded for that with wealth. Remember... "YOU DIDN'T BUILD THAT". The government is the end-all for everything. The people... well, we're just subjects to such a government and should bow to their authority and control. That is the comfort zone for these leeches.

5 Things to Know About Biden's VP Pick, Kamala Harris

2. Her record of silencing dissent

Harris didn’t just crack down on crime as attorney general. She also used her position to silence her ideological opponents.

In 2014, David Daleiden and the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) released a slew of undercover sting videos showing Planned Parenthood staff admitting to selling aborted baby body parts for profit, with one even joking about buying a Lamborghini with the profits. Planned Parenthood hired the firm Fusion GPS, now notorious for assembling the Trump-Russia dossier, to obscure the facts and suggest the videos were deceptively edited.

Kamala Harris, who has received at least $81,000 from Planned Parenthood, was serving as California’s attorney general at the time. In 2016, her office searched Daleiden’s home, seizing his video footage and preparing a legal case against him. In 2017, Harris’s successor, Xavier Becerra (another politician bankrolled by Planned Parenthood), filed 15 felony charges against CMP and Daleiden.

Peter Breen, special counsel at the Thomas More Society, briefed PJ Media on the ongoing case last July. He argued that Daleiden’s filming was taken in “entirely public places.”

“I could point you to undercover investigations that are being shown on the evening news in Los Angeles. Under the standard they are applying to David, those would be felonies,” the lawyer argued. “The other reporters are being lauded for their brave investigative techniques, but David is being prosecuted.”

“I would say this is an abuse of the criminal process,” Breen told PJ Media.

Pro-choice law professors have defended Daleiden’s right to engage in undercover journalism.

“I believe too strongly in American ideals to think that Kamala Harris and Xavier Becerra will be able to imprison innocent American citizens for our First Amendment speech,” Daleiden told The Stream’s John Zmirak. “But the fact that, working with Planned Parenthood, they have pulled out all the stops to try to do so? That should concern and outrage every American.”
