Nyet!

 

  It is said, ‘Apples don’t fall far from the tree.’


This saying is often attributed to the Bible, expressing the idea that a child inevitably shares traits with his or her parents.


And so, we start to discover who our current vice president really is: examining Kamala Harris and her parents who proudly reared her.


Vice President Kamala was born in Oakland, California, in 1964 of a mixed-race household to Shayamala Gopalan, an Indian-Caucasian mother, and Donald Harris, a Jamaican father. Her mother was a breast cancer research doctor, and passed away in 2009; Donald is an economist and professor-emeritus who taught at Stanford University.


Dr. Gopalan and Professor Harris divorced a few years after the birth of Kamala’s sister in 1967. Kamala lived with her mother and expressed “that her mother was aware that she and her sister would be seen ‘as Black girls,’ and further stated that ‘she was determined to make sure we would grow into confident, proud Black women,’” per Yahoo! News.


And did she succeed. Morphing into strong DA from San Francisco, a State Attorney General, eventually a State Senator, all from California, Kamala was especially proud of her stellar record prosecuting drug cases.

Marxist Professor-Emeritus Donald Harris


According to Democracynow.org, “San Francisco Deputy Public Defender Niki Solis says Harris was the state’s most progressive DA and advocate for ‘so many policies and so many alternatives to incarceration.”


Further, law Professor Lara Bazelon says Harris was on the wrong side of history for often opposing criminal justice reform, though her record did change as a senator. “Her office fought tooth and nail to uphold wrongful convictions that in some cases kept innocent people in prison,” Bazelon says.


Dr. Gopalan, the fractured families’ matriarch, took over the duties of raising two small girls – Kamala and her sister Maya. The divorce from Professor Donald may have been the catalyst for the sisters to pursue careers as lawyers, possibly seeking justice from a perceived world of personal imbalance.


All the while, Professor Harris had been busy helping Jamaica with its monetary woes. Being a true Third World Nation, Jamaica found itself in great financial straits after decades of serious money mismanagement.


It was time to call in the pros to straighten out this Caribbean nation mess. With crime and depression, few jobs, low wages, and large debt, Professor Harris was tapped to be the savior who would help right this sinking ship.


According to Worldbank.org: “Jamaica has been a highly indebted economy for decades. Since 2013, the government (GOJ) has successfully implemented fiscal consolidation measures, reducing the public debt-to-GDP ratio by more than 60 percentage points to 75.5 percent in 2023 – the lowest level in 25 years.”


Prudent macroeconomic management, anchored in debt reduction targets and inflation-targeting monetary policy with ample foreign reserves, facilitated post-pandemic recovery amid the challenging external environment on inflationary pressures and tightening global financial conditions. A strengthened social protection system provided temporary assistance to vulnerable households and businesses during the pandemic to offset income losses, protect jobs, and stimulate demand. Additional assistance was provided to vulnerable households to mitigate the impact of rising prices,” Worldbank.org, further states.


The Left-leaning The Washington Post noted that “Since Kamala Harris’ rise to national prominence, her father has been labeled a left-wing economist who often focused on abstract debates primarily of interest to fellow academics.”


The Post article further stated that “some former colleagues say that work provides insight into the economist’s potential influence on his daughter’s worldview. They hear echoes of Donald Harris in elements of the vice president’s speeches – from her commitment to minority-owned businesses to her support for the Biden administration’s industrial policy initiatives.”


In other words, Professor Harris clearly injected Communistic theory into his effort to save Jamaica. But at what cost?


Privatization of businesses and public airports, as well as a corporate land registry has done little to create a needed long term robust economy. “Jamaica is now widely recognized,” The Post continues, “as a fragile economic success story.”


A quick glance at Kamala’s proposed economic reveals something sordid lurking in those proud interviews and speeches she’s been giving over the past dozen years.


On August 16, 2024, VP Harris proposed a new “opportunity economy,” as a solution to the absolute mess both she and her boss, President Joseph Biden, foisted upon our robust economy with diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).


Teetering on the brink of a recession, Harris is suddenly concerned – nearly four years too late – about the dire state of America’s economy. After groceries, fuel, insurance, housing, travel, and taxes reached record highs, while incomes are unable to keep up with the Biden-Harris policies, Harris’ idea is to tax more.


But tax whom?


As is usual in a communistic society, everyone is subject to draconian rules, regulations, and laws. Constantly calling on “the rich” to pay “their fair share,” that secret number seems elusive when asking for hard and fast figures. Just who is rich? How much is fair? Is anyone really exempt?


Without saying the words aloud, redistribution of wealth, as well as equity in everything, nothing involved with the wholesale confiscation of wealth, and punishment for hard work and success is up for discussion.


If you look back in time, Harris has been adamant that socialistic policies and ideas have been on her mind since her days as a prosecutor.


Leniency for criminals, a free tuition ride for students, “no cost” healthcare, housing subsidies, electric vehicle grants, childcare cash, minimum wage increases, and “good jobs” for everyone, are just a few of her brilliant ideas to bury her and Biden’s magnificent Bidenomics plan that broke our financial back in the first place.


If this sounds familiar, it should; think Soviet Russians. All Marxist systems of government begin with economic disasters. Begun under the tutelage of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, in 1848, who wrote the Communist Manifesto, commissioned by the Communist League in England.


Mentioning class struggles, capitalism, abolition of private property, and universal education, The Manifesto has been a playbook for communist societies and goals for 176-years. And nearly each time it was applied to a society, it was as “socialism,” which people believe is another term for “kindness.”


It is not. At least 100,000,000 people have died under communistic rule, many by starvation – worldwide. But the kicker is every communistic society has collapsed because of its tenets. And regularly, now communistic societies arise with the caveat: this new effort will not be mismanaged.


But it is human nature that leads us into thinking we have the ultimate solution for a panacea. Beginning with the word: socialism, people are conned into believing they are helping those in need. In fact, socialism is merely communism without the use of a gun.


And based on Professor Harris’ teachings and application thereof, the ideas perpetuated by his daughter Kamala, while examining the current state of affairs under the Biden-Harris administration, Kamala should change her oft-mispronounced name to Kommie La.


On Election Day, the rest of America should simply say, “Nyet!” to Kommie La and her partner Tim Walz.
