On each one, she has belly-flopped hard enough to empty an Olympic swimming pool.

Border Czarina

“I’ve asked her, the V.P., today … to lead our diplomatic effort and work with those nations to accept the returnees, and enhance migration enforcement at their borders,” Biden said about Harris at a March 24, 2021, White House ceremony.

“When she speaks, she speaks for me,” Biden added. “She knows what she’s doing, and I hope we can move this along.”

Defying Biden’s urgency, Harris did not visit the U.S.-Mexico border until June 25, three months after being crowned border czarina. After shirking her duties, Harris made her second, box-checking border journey this past Sept. 27.

In the intervening 39 months, southern boundary conditions deteriorated dramatically:

• Since February 2021, the first 42 months of Harris’ rule saw illegal-alien incursions on the U.S.-Mexico frontier soar from 2,450,167 under Donald Trump’s comparable period to 8,326,109—up 339.8%.
• Add 1,664,203 detected-but-uncaught “known gotaways” from fiscal year 2021 through fiscal year 2023 (versus 384,439 from fiscal year 2017 through fiscal year 2019 under Trump (up 432.9%), and the number of illegal aliens who invaded America under Harris rises to at least 9,990,312. This excludes “unknown gotaways,” who went unseen and uncaptured.
• During Trump’s tenure, 11 illegal aliens on the terrorist watchlist were nabbed at the border. On Harris’ watch: 382 such illegal aliens got caught—up an explosive 3,472%.
• Czarina Harris lost 323,000 illegal-alien children. Where are those unaccompanied minors? Who knows? Monsters, quite literally, are exploiting thousands of them as slaves in sweatshops. Even worse, boys and girls are raped routinely as sex slaves.
• The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that from fiscal year 2021 through fiscal year 2023, fentanyl (usually smuggled across Harris’ obliterated “border”) fatally poisoned 222,166 people in America, including those who thought they had consumed legitimate drugs.
• Maria Gonzalez, Jocelyn Nungaray, and Rachel Morin are just three among many who police say illegal aliens have killed. Even former President Bill Clinton conceded that Laken Riley, a slain Georgia nursing student, was a victim of Harris’ no-border policy.

On Oct. 13, Clinton told Peach State voters about Riley, “a young woman who had been killed by an immigrant,” allegedly by José Ibarra, a Venezuelan illegal alien who broke into America in September 2022, on Harris’ watch. Ibarra reportedly is tied to the deadly Tren de Aragua gang. Clinton added, “If they’d all been properly vetted, that probably wouldn’t have happened.”

• The Federation for American Immigration Reform estimated in March 2023 that coddling illegal aliens costs local, state, and federal taxpayers $150.7 billion annually.

Broadband Czarina

During an April 28, 2021, joint session of Congress, Biden unveiled a rural-broadband initiative. “I’m asking the vice president to lead this effort,” he said, “because I know it will get done.”

No such luck.

“It appears that your performance as ‘broadband czar’ has mirrored your performance as ‘border czar,’” nine U.S. senators wrote Harris, including Republican Sens. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, Ted Cruz of Texas, and Deb Fischer of Nebraska. Their Sept. 18 letter continued: “Under your leadership, not a single person has been connected to the internet using the $42.45 billion allocated for the [Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment] program.”

That’s right: Despite Biden’s Nov. 15, 2021, signature, not one American has been hooked up via the BEAD plan, even after 34 months and more than $42 billion in taxpayer money.

As the senators explained, “burdensome climate change mandates” have stymied progress. So have a nine-step review process and a requirement that participating employers give preference to “individuals with past criminal records.” Consequently, Politico reports, “No actual construction projects are expected to begin until at least 2025.”

Bridge-Building Czarina

Biden sent Harris to the February 2022 Munich Security Conference. Goal: Project sufficient U.S. and allied strength to deter Russia from attacking Ukraine. Vice presidential scholar Joel Goldstein told CNN: “I think this is certainly the most significant mission yet of her vice presidency.”

The bridge-building czarina said at the Hotel Bayerischer Hof on Feb. 19, 2022, that “sovereignty and territorial integrity of all states must be respected” and “national borders should not be changed by force.”

Five days later, Russia invaded Ukraine.

Bus Czarina

Harris and the Environmental Protection Agency have pushed the Clean School Bus program since September 2022. As Thomas Catenacci reported on July 19 at The Washington Free Beacon, this boondoggle deployed $965 million to ship 2,463 electric school buses to 389 school districts. Two years later, just 60 green buses serve only 27 districts. Fifty-five districts have fled the program.

The House Energy and Commerce Committee reported last month that diesel-fueled school buses typically cost $100,000. Electric school buses average $381,190. This nearly 400% higher cost, limited driving range, and poor cold-weather performance have flattened the tires on Harris’ fantasy vehicles.

Beyond dispute, Harris is the Czarina of Failure.

We publish a variety of perspectives. Nothing written here is to be construed as representing the views of The Daily Signal.

The GOP nominee is on message. He pledges to restore prosperity, retame inflation, reseal the border, refight crime, and resurrect global tranquility.

America was better off when Trump’s “Peace Through Strength” policy bolstered European harmony and catalyzed the Abraham Accords.

Under Kamala Harris’ “War Through Weakness” doctrine, Moscow’s bombs blast Kyiv and Tehran’s missiles rock Tel Aviv.

Trump running mate JD Vance’s commanding debate performance Oct. 1 dazzled voters and razzled his Democrat rival, Minnesota Gov. Tim “Knucklehead” Walz. Trump leads Harris in social media engagement, and the Republican ticket is rising in swing states.

But Trump’s progress could evaporate, thanks to a hazard as invisible—yet potentially lethal—as carbon monoxide.

This election could come down to one or two toss-up states captured by a relative handful of problematic mail-in ballots. Unlike normal ballots, which precinct workers personally hand to and collect from actual voters, mail-in ballots have zero chain of custody.

County clerks or independent printers haul truckloads of ballots to U.S. Postal Service facilities. Letter carriers deliver them as addressed.

Most of these ballots find actual voters, but others reach questionable or even unqualified locations, directed to phantom “voters” who have moved away, passed on, or never even existed.

Left-wing nongovernmental organizations, or NGOs, harvest, complete, and submit these ballots at election offices. They also deposit them in unsupervised drop boxes. This “one time only” measure—implemented during 2020’s COVID-19 horror—has become as unshakable as lampreys.

A smattering of such bogus ballots might be a minor nuisance. Unfortunately, their abundance could cost Trump the White House.

A new organization called Common Sense Elections harnesses robust fractal computing to reconcile voter rolls with property tax records, postal change-of-address forms, and other government databases.

Austin, Texas-based ballot security expert Jay Valentine launched Common Sense Elections to expose “addresses such as a Walmart, bank, 7-Eleven, or a college dorm room where the student graduated 12 years ago—all yielding ballots that NGOs gather and vote.” I am assisting this movement to stop bogus ballots.

What Common Sense Elections discovered in Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin should trigger klaxons at Trump-Vance headquarters and the Republican National Committee. Here it is in chart form:

• Across these states, 660,290 mail-in ballots are tied to registered voters who permanently moved to other states. These absentees number 68,983 in Georgia (far exceeding Joe Biden’s 2020 margin of victory: 11,779 votes); 262,488 in Pennsylvania (which Biden won by 80,555); and 42,043 in Wisconsin (Biden’s by 20,682).
• Voters who moved to other in-state counties total 457,310. These include 65,857 relocated voters in Michigan (which Trump won in 2016 by 10,704 votes) and 169,083 in Pennsylvania (which Trump secured in 2016 with 44,292 votes).
• Voters who moved and left no forwarding residence total 146,160.
• Those linked to invalid addresses total 663,514. Pennsylvania is home to 346,505 such “voters.”
• Voters recorded as residing at commercial sites: 4,914. These reflect, among others, “voters” at Las Vegas’ Harry Reid International Airport and a vacant lot at 9145 Mann St., Las Vegas.
• A staggering 916,100 voters are enrolled with missing or incorrect apartment numbers. This boosts the odds that postal workers will leave unclaimed ballots in lobbies or mailrooms, where harvesters can retrieve and abuse them.
• All told, these screwy ballots total 2,848,288—in just these six states and involving only these six anomalies shown here. Deeper and wider scrutiny has yielded graver worries.

The good news is that Common Sense Elections’ technology identifies these suspicious destinations. It then asks county clerks not to send them mail-in ballots.

CSE also monitors ballots that are filled in and returned. It flags those that arrive from fishy addresses and advises election officials not to count them.

Those who insist on tabulating bogus ballots could face litigation.

Election integrity activists who inspected Wisconsin’s voter lists via Common Sense Elections sued Sept. 30 to require that Badger State election officials verify the registrations associated with 143,742 eyebrow-raising addresses.

Four days earlier, on Sept. 26, CSE’s allies sued Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, to address 162,037 registrants who seemingly switched counties or completely exited the Peach State. If so, the plaintiffs want such registrations declared inactive.

Through these and related efforts, Common Sense Elections hopes to make elections great again by rallying America around the battle cry of its website address: StopBogusBallots.com.

It is jarring to recall how much brighter things looked just 27 months ago, after four years of President Donald J. Trump’s triumphs, and before Biden arrived and wrecked everything.

From A to Z, here are 26 things that Trump got right:

• Abraham Accords: Trump brokered four peace agreements among Israel and its neighbors — Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco, and Sudan.
• Border Wall: Trump’s 458-miles of concrete and steel fortified the border and curbed illegal immigration before Biden obliterated America’s southern frontier.
• Consular offices in Jerusalem were upgraded to a U.S. embassy, thus enforcing the relevant statute that presidents Clinton through Obama circumvented.
• Deregulation: Trump promised to kill two old regulations for every new one imposed. American Action Forum counts 4.7 existing rules junked per new one implemented.
• Energy independence: Trump achieved the impossible dream of U.S. self-reliance and then made America globally dominant as a net exporter of energy for the first time since 1952.
• Freedom-of-speech protection, per Trump’s executive order, became a prerequisite for colleges to receive federal funds.
• Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett joined the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, 223 other constitutionalists whom Trump nominated reached the federal bench.
• Historically Black Colleges and Universities scored an advocacy office in the White House, a permanent stream of federal funds, and year-round Pell Grants, to aid their summer school students. HBCU presidents begged Obama in vain for these things. Trump invited them to the Oval Office in his fifth week in Washington, listened, and approved their requests.
• Iran nuclear deal: Killed.
• Javelin anti-tank missiles that Trump provided have helped Ukraine stymie Russian invaders.
• Keystone XL Pipeline: Approved.
• Little Rocket Man, Kim Jong Un, met thrice with Trump. While North Korea did not scrap its nuclear-weapons program, it conducted zero atomic tests after this odd couple first huddled in Singapore on June 12, 2018. Kim detonated four nukesunder Obama-Biden.
• Mexico, Canada, and the U.S. signed a new trade deal that replaced the North American Free Trade Agreement.
• NATO’s finances soared, as Trump prodded U.S. allies to boost Western collective defense by $400 billion through 2024.
• Opportunity Zones incentivized $78 billion in private capital to 8,768 largely low-income, minority communities.
• Poverty fell to a rate of 10.5%, the lowest since 1959, when federal figures began. Before COVID-19 unleashed Hell on Earth, the strongest economy in 60 years drove black poverty to 18.8%, a record low.
• Qasem Soleimani, Iranian Revolutionary Guard chief, was droned to smithereens on Trump’s order. Tehran’s ayatollahs promptly learned some manners.
• Right to Try legislation freed terminally ill patients to use promising cures that awaited FDA approval.
• Space Force: Trump’s out-of-this world promise became reality as the Pentagon’s newest armed service.
• Tax Cuts and Jobs Act: This $1.9 trillion tax reduction unleashed massive economic growth that most benefitted lower-income Americans.
• Unemployment hit all-time lows for blacks and Hispanics and triggered the least female unemployment since September 1953.
• Veterans secured broader medical freedoms through VA Choice and swift punishment for abusive VA employees.
• Washington, D.C.’s school-voucher program was reauthorized with a $45 million appropriation.
• Xi Jinping and other Chinese Communist Party members restrained themselves when Trump deployed his Peace through Strength strategy. Under Biden, Red China does whatever it wants, from an unprecedented mock blockade of Taiwan to spy balloons vacuuming intelligence over America to US-based CCP “police stations” that terrorize dissidents.
• Yes votes for the First Step Act totaled 358 in the House (including 176 Democrats) and 87 in the Senate (among them, 47 Democrats). This overwhelmingly bipartisan criminal-justice-reform measure let non-violent prisoners, many black, return to their communities.
• Zero American wars began under Trump. The dovish consequences of his hawkish command were exactly opposite the “Push the nuclear button NOW!” belligerence that his deranged critics forecast.

Wouldn’t four more years of Trump be better than four years of Biden?

The 600,000-student Los Angeles Unified School District is using taxpayer dollars to train government teachers and staff members to instruct boys and girls that meritocracy, success, and hard work are all “white.” So, logically, if you are black, then kakistocracy (rule by the worst), failure, and sloth are just your cup of tea.

This is vile, repugnant, racist garbage.

Documents unearthed by Fox News Channel’s Jessica Chasmar confirm that this “implicit/unconscious bias training” is guided by UCLA professor Tyrone Howard. It contends that “Whiteness” incorporates “an anti-Blackness ideology, which demonizes that which is furthest from White.” Also, “Individualism” operates “from a survival-of-the-fittest approach that stresses singular pursuit and accomplishment.”

When I was in the Los Angeles Unified School District, from kindergarten through grade 12 (1969-1982), it did not peddle this sludge. Instead, teachers, counselors, parents, and everyone else encouraged all kids—regardless of race—to focus, learn, strive, and, thus, prepare for prosperity in this land of abundance and opportunity.

Forty years later, my old school system tells black kids that if they believe they can rise by doing their homework, studying hard, and reaching for riches, then they are acting white.

America’s second-largest school district has incubated the self-inflicted cancer of the “acting white” syndrome—which plagues too many black kids who value intelligence—and injected it into the curriculum.

In short: Critical race theory holds blacks down, so the KKK doesn’t have to.

This Democrat-promoted concept is beyond reprehensible.

These training materials urge dismantling the “myth of meritocracy” and fighting “microaggressions,” among them “Everyone can succeed in the society if they [sic] work hard enough.”

According to these lesson plans, the microaggressors who would express such ugliness must be confronted with the question: “So you feel that everyone can succeed in the society if they work hard enough. Can you give me some examples?”

OK. Here are 10:

1. Booker T. Washington: This former slave founded the Tuskegee Institute.

2. Madam C.J. Walker: This one-time laundress earned millions via hair care products.

3. Louis Armstrong: This prostitute’s son co-fathered jazz and scored global stardom.

4. Ella Fitzgerald: This poor girl became the 20^th century’s finest female vocalist.

5. Jackie Robinson: This star athlete integrated baseball and is among its greatest players ever.

6. Charlayne Hunter-Gault: She integrated the University of Georgia and thrived in network news.

7. E. Stanley O’Neal: This grandson of a slave rose to become CEO of Merrill Lynch.

8. Oprah Winfrey: Actress, broadcaster, media tycoon. Net worth: $2.6 billion.

9. Neil DeGrasse Tyson: Author, astrophysicist, director of the Hayden Planetarium.

10. Barack Obama: Law professor, legislator, 44th president of the United States.

Each of these individuals was born in the USA, worked hard, and succeeded. Aside from the mixed ethnicity of some, there is nothing “white” about them. They all made it here while being looked at as black and never running from their “blackness.”

Tens of millions of other blacks have yet to achieve such fame and fortune. Regardless, they own shops, fly planes, cure patients, fix computers, construct houses, cultivate crops, and otherwise flourish through talent and diligence.

Those who parrot the filthy lie that blacks cannot soar in America through industriousness because they lack “whiteness” are the most repugnant, dangerous, and evil racists around. For every white-hooded hatemonger haunting the hinterlands, there are hundreds of “diversity” specialists diligently advancing racism by preaching the slanderous gospel of black disability.

The critical race theory advocates who pump this unfiltered sewage into the curriculum in Los Angeles and beyond deserve to be utterly disempowered and ultimately roasted in hell with all the heat of the high noon sun.
