White Men Having Failed to Position Her For Success, Kamala Harris Flees the "Scorn and Criticism" of DC

Fleedom!

The LA Times "reports" -- were told what to write by Kamala's PR people -- that she's run away to the Blue Bubble of California.

So the "president" is on vacation 40% of all days and Kamala Harris has absconded to California.

Matt Margolis:

"For Harris, the impulse to escape Washington -- where she faces Republican scorn and criticism within her own party -- for downtime at home has been difficult to satisfy over the last few years," the article explains. "While President Biden has made a near weekly habit of returning home to neighboring Delaware, the taxpayer-funded, cross-country flight to L.A. is harder to justify unless it includes official business. Harris' trips home to L.A. are often camouflaged with an event to celebrate a local small business or a stop to raise awareness about one of her policy focuses such as Black maternal healthcare or reproductive rights. The vice president was also anchored to Washington during the first half of her term to cast tiebreaking votes in an evenly divided Senate."

At times, the article reads like a smarmy puff piece about a celebrity showing off her oasis from the paparazzi, with the harsh realities of Harris's lackluster vice presidency oozing through the cracks. "But the Brentwood home, largely concealed by its verdant surroundings, has become a sanctuary for one of the world's most visible figures," the article continues. "The four-bedroom, 3,500-square-foot house, less than a mile from Sunset Boulevard and roughly a 10-minute drive from the Will Rogers State Historic Park, is off-limits to reporters. In October, a group of protesters pulled up in cars outside to call for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war, though Harris wasn't there to hear their pleas."

Her PR people realize that it sounds like Kamala Harris is useless -- I mean, she runs off to California and she needs to alert the press to this fact, because no one otherwise noticed -- so the LAT and her PR people then do some backfilling to insist that when she is in DC, she's really very important. A VIP VP, doncha know.

See the article for that.

Meanwhile, the President of Vacations falls to his lowest approval rate yet.

Only one-third of U.S. adults say they approve of President Biden's job performance -- a record low for his presidency and for any president in the last 15 years.

In an ABC News/Ipsos poll, conducted Jan. 4-8, only 33 percent of those surveyed said they approved of Biden, a drop from the previous poll in September 2023, when 37 percent approved of his performance. Biden's disapproval rating is 58 percent, up from 56 percent in September.

That's bad -- but Trump's numbers are only a little better.

Biden, who is running for reelection, has a lower approval rating than former President Trump, who is the leading GOP nominee for president.

Asked when "looking back" whether they approve or disapprove of the way Trump handled his job when he was president, 41 percent of respondents said they approve, down from 48 percent in September. Trump's disapproval rating is 53 percent, up from 49 percent in September

Here's the thing: We can celebrate Biden's low approval rating, but he's not going to be allowed to be the candidate if (when) those low numbers persist.

On the other hand, we in the GOP are determined to lock ourselves to the second-most unpopular candidate, and then just sort of hope that the eventual Democrat nominee earns a very negative approval rating in a few short weeks.

Meanwhile: The White House was "swatted".

White House is SWATTED: Prank caller calls 911 to say residence was on fire and someone was trapped inside

Call was made around 7 am on Monday
Led to fire trucks and ambulances swarming White House
Call is suspected to be a hoax

Fire trucks and ambulances swarmed the White House on Monday morning after a caller told 911 dispatchers the building was on fire and someone was trapped inside in what appears to be a 'swatting' incident.

President Joe Biden was at Camp David when the call came. D.C. fire and emergency services dispatched 13 units in response.

But the call was quickly determined a false alarm. The White House now appears to be the latest victim in the dangerous 'swatting' trend that is sweeping the country.

This is not a swatting. SWAT was not called. Firefighters do not show up at a fire with weapons hot looking to shoot at fires. When someone is swatted, armed cops show up expecting to see someone about to kill his wife and children.

A swatting is an attempted murder using amped-up but unknowing SWAT officers as a weapon. The fake 911 call at the White House, on the other hand, is literally nothing.

But this will get 100x the coverage of the multiple swattings of MTG and the swatting of the computer shop owner that Hunter Biden slandered.

Thanks to ciampino.

And also meanwhile: The Iranians Biden continues to send billions to are bombing the US Embassy in Iraq.

Two days ago, Biden told reporters "I've already delivered the message to Iran. They know not to do anything."

Today, they attacked the US consulate and airport in Northern Iraq.
