The many identities of Vice President-elect Kamala Harris amount to this: A proud American
Instead of boastful hate tweets, the vice president-elect's victory speech showed gratitude and respect for the achievements of all American

Wow those are a lot of checked boxes. Is there a reasonable argument, 2 years into her office, that her command of the English language and foreign policies is not the sole reason Harris is VP?

Direct Quotes:

Kamala Harris is “Black” and “Indian American” according to the official Biden-Harris campaign website; “African American” and “South Asian American” according to her senator for California government site; and, depending on the news outlet and its hyphen preferences, she is also: Black American, Jamaican American, Caribbean American, Asian American and Indian American, and of Asian descent, Indian origin, mixed Indian and Jamaican heritage and Tamil and Hindu roots.

Acknowledging first her mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris, an immigrant who “came here from India,” Harris then invited up to the podium with her, as it were, “the generations of women — Black women.” Pausing there not for breath but for emphasis and to allow for the long-overdue applause to roll in, which it did, Harris resumed the honor roll, “Asian, White, Latina, and Native American women throughout our nation’s history who have paved the way for this moment tonight.”

Harris reached for race and ethnic descriptors only to unfurl them — like a patchwork quilt and a superhero cape — onto the shoulders of the women who made it possible for her to be on the national stage that night, a beacon in suffragette white, her pantsuit a poignant reminder of another history-making moment delayed.

I heard Harris’ words, and I understood their intent: to shine the spotlight not on herself and her own remarkable biography, but to shine that light back on us and our foremothers: “Black women (who) are the backbone of our democracy,” and “all the women” who have organized, marched, voted, ran for office and lost, and who will run for office and win.

Democrats stuck their heads in the sand a pretended this didn’t happen, now a full on pardon for Hunter? Maybe some shady stuff did happen overseas that the Biden’s made millions off of. Direct Quotes: Devon Archer told the House Oversight Committee on Monday that his former business partner, Hunter Biden, was selling the “illusion” of access to his father, according to a source familiar with the closed-door interview After the interview concluded, a second source told CNN that Archer did affirm to the committee that Hunter Biden was selling the “illusion” of access to his father, but later clarified that the president’s son was actually selling the illusion of access to Washington, DC, and knowledge of how it worked. Rep. Dan Goldman, a Democrat on the panel who sat through the portion of Archer’s interview where he was question...

  https://www.newsweek.com/exclusive-putin-treated-cancer-april-us-intelligence-report-says-1710357 This article kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. There are a lot of “seems”, “sensing”, “rumor” and suggesting so it’s tough to put a lot of faith in the idea that Putin is nearing the end of his leadership. The statement quoted in this article by a Ukraine Intelligence official is the most reliable source. Even though this idea is interesting and may bring some comfort to Ukraine. The world and the Biden administration cannot plan on a soon “expiration date” of Putin. We should have learned that lesson already. Also who is to say that the next Russian “President” won’t have similar ambitions?  Compared to the weak, frail and cognitively failing Biden, everything I’ve seen makes Putin look like a rock star. I disagree with the authors about the long tables in Russia. This article states that the long table “became a baseline against which to measure the Russian presi...
