Kamala Harris Five Reasons

Still in love, are we? Doug Emhoff and his wife. What's her name? Ask Donald Trump.

Kamala Harris. It's official. The 2024 DNC in Chicago made her the Democratic Party nominee. I guess this old blog, 2 June 2024 is redundant now.

I don’t like Kamala Harris. The sentiment is out there but I’m yet to find five, just five reasons why some Americans do not like the U.S. Vice President. I mean concrete reasons, not gut feeling reasons. Take Hilary Clinton for example. Some voters did not have anything against her as a person, but they voted against the tradition of entitlement and generational wealth. She ran twice because of name recognition, but lost the party’s nomination to an unknown American called Barack Obama. The second time around she lost to a reality T.V. star by the name of Donald Trump.

This is not the case with Kamala Harris. I cannot find concrete reasons why someone would say I don’t like her. Maybe my research is like a honeycomb, full of holes. It’s ironic how there is so much information out there, but we are becoming more and more ignorant about very basic things. Kamala Harris is a public figure therefore people who don’t like her should give me at least five reasons why. Donald Trump had one. He once accused her of being hard on Joe Biden when they were in the Democratic Party race for presidential nominee.

I keep harping on concrete reasons for not liking her because we cannot hate a candidate because of how he or she looks. Yes, I might be naive because youth was a factor in Canada. Among other things, it made Justin Trudeau the Prime Minister of Canada in 2015 and Barack Obama the 44th U.S. President.

President Joe Biden has more than five reasons why he likes Kamala Harris. Some women like her because she represents the saying: behind every successful man, stands a woman. She did that job with Nancy Pelosi, House Speaker. She must miss her.

Elections And Political Bullies

-

Forget democracy.   It should be called political bullying. We are watching it in the prelude to the Canadian election on the 19 th of October, 2015.   Americans have also started their political bullying for the looming presidential election next year. So many trees wasted on books about democracy.   Some countries have big budgets for invading other countries ‘ to defend democracy’ but it is seldom practised in campaigning for elections.   Calling opponents names and printing flyers attacking each other is behaviour that will not be tolerated in kindergarten, but it is all legal, in campaigning.   It is irritating and such a let-down to the whole notion of democracy.   Grown-up men and women behaving like Grade One kids. It is also misleading because many voters believe it is real hatred.   Don’t let that fool you.   These politicians play golf together, attend the same dinner parties, eat and drink at the same social events, share jokes and cut deals in parliament.   They

Comfort Food As Regret Food

-

Chicken curry. Comfort food is good for the soul, which usually bleeds in winter from icy roads, bad drivers that want to annihilate pedestrians, frozen fingers and toes that take a sabbatical.   What happened to my toes?   I thought I was wearing special socks for boots? We therefore have a right to comfort food which throws doctors’ orders out of the window and has no loyalty to calories.   No calculator on the table, thanks very much.   Piece of bread 5 calories, half a banana 10 calories, sugar-free cheesecake 2,000 calories.   Ah! Ah!  We only live once. Naw!   Comfort food is old school food with its compulsory second helping.   It involves licking fingers and giving a big sigh, about the good life, which is shelter, food, love and debt.   The problem is the zip.   The jeans remind you that comfort food can also be called you will regret food .   Home sweet home is even sweeter in winter after surviving blowing snow and bumper to bumper traffic. What is more welcoming th

No Air Miles

I don’t have Air Miles.   I’m considering putting that on a T-Shirt because I cannot go to the drugstore (chemist) or coffee shop without the cashier asking me if I have air miles. We waited for about two minutes the other day, while this guy looked for his Air Miles card in his overweight wallet.   For what?   For a few points. I don’t have air miles because Mathematics is a foreign language.   I was never good in numbers. That is why I squashed the idea of being an investment banker very early in life.   I understand you can invest in cornfields before the soil is turned up or pork bellies even before a baby pig is born. That is how I view air miles, investing in tomorrow or the unknown.   I’m the dumb one.   Some people understand this air miles’ thing so well, I overheard one customer saying: I can even convert my points into cash. Points and air miles are the same thing in Canada and the U.S.   Drugstores or clothing stores even give you a card to collect point
