A Continuation of questions following the 16 we had for Biden a couple of days ago: Any of these particularly make you think YOU would like to especially like to ask Kamala THAT?!
QUESTIONS FOR KAMALA HARRIS:
- Why did you refuse to prosecute even one sexual abuse case involving the Catholic Church in San Francisco when you were attorney general, despite the pleas of victims’ groups?
- Also, why did your attorney general’s office refuset release the documents obtained from the San Francisco archdiocese with all the information about priests accused of sexual abuse? Victims’ rights groups have criticized your office for deliberately burying these documents and thereby covering up the crimes and leaving the public unprotected. Why did you do this? The San Francisco district attorney’s office claimed in 2019 that they no longer have these documents in their possession. What happened to them? How can you claim to be a defender of children when you declined to prosecute the abusers of children?
- Why did your office declineto investigate the health supplement fraud cases involving companies your husband’s law firm represented? Did you, as California’s attorney general, ever purposefully decline investigating or prosecuting clients of your husband’s law firm?
- You said you believedthe women accusing Joe Biden of inappropriate touching. Do you believe Tara Reade? If not, why not? If so, how do you justify supporting him now?
- You once attacked a judicial nominee on the basis of his membership in the Catholic fraternal organization the Knights of Columbus, which is the largest fraternal organization in the world and includes among its past and present members many prominent Americans like President John F. Kennedy, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), Gov. John Bel Edwards (D-LA), and Vince Lombardi. Do you believe that being a member of the Knights of Columbus disqualifies a person from holding public office? Would you refuse to hire someone on the basis of their membership in the Knights of Columbus or any other Catholic organization? In your questioning of this Catholic judicial nominee, you singled out the issue of the Catholic teaching on the sanctity of life. Would you disqualify a job applicant on the basis of their Catholic beliefs, including their beliefs about abortion? Do you believe that being pro-life disqualifies someone from employment?
- Why did you single out journalist David Daleiden for prosecution for undercover journalism that others do without penalty?
- Your chief-of-staff, Karine Jean-Pierre, wrote an op-ed last year attacking the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and Americans who associate with it, stating “You cannot call yourself a progressive while continuing to associate yourself with an organization like AIPAC that has often been the antithesis of what it means to be progressive.” Do you believe that pro-Israel activism is incompatible with progressive values?
- The Biden campaign has adopted a version of the Green New Deal that calls for 100 percent renewable electricity generation by 2035. California has adopted similar “green” goals, but now it can’t keep the lights ondue to the state’s reliance on wind and solar energy. California’s Democratic Gov. Gavin Newson admitted this week that the Golden State needs a “backup” plan for energy because the current blackouts caused by lack of wind and overcast skies have shown the danger of relying solely on “green” energy. Why would the nation fare any better than sunny breezy California in keeping the lights on if we adopt 100 percent renewable energy?
- 25. You said in the past that we “need to hold China accountable” for trade violations, but you are against the use of tariffs. How do you intend to hold China accountable? You also said that “we need to export American products, not American jobs.” How do you intend to make sure we don’t export more American jobs to China? How would your policy differ significantly from the same policies that led to the loss of 4 million jobs to China?

An overworked theme during the original STAR TREK series was Kirk’s disabling various computers through use of non-sequiturs, illogic, and whimsy. Several times he saved humanity from the cold, brutal, unrelenting reasoning of synthetic intelligence.
I’d like to use that approach and watch quid-pro-Joe would respond to these:

Why is there no synonym for “thesaurus”?

Harris would never answer these questions … they are spot on. The question remains, why wouldn’t Harris answer them? First, because Harris hasn’t a clue. She’s heavily invested into racial politics; beyond this, what she knows about world or domestic affairs wouldn’t fill a thimble. But on the issue of racial politics, I’ve delved into this at Bunkerville today, in comments.

It is appropriate to issue “No Knock” warrants when the police have a reasonable suspicion that the place they are entering is heavily armed. The element of surprise sometimes prevents bloodshed. any municipal policy that precludes No Knock entries is simply creating an environment for fatalities.

That takes years of training to do what Nancy did. There’s an answer for any question you want to avoid. Its like saying “I also want to add that I have nothing more to add”. Or when someone relentlessly fires questions at you one after another, you say something like “thats an abstract question and subject to debate. What do YOU think?” then the roles get reversed, making them stumble for words. Most politicians become masters at it.

At one time I taught dual-enrollment and IB classes, generally 17- and 18-yr-old very bright but usually precocious knowitalls who’d been convinced by parents and teachers that they were privileged little geniuses.
I learned some things very quickly with those kids (whom I truly enjoyed teaching), two of which were
(1) NEVER come to class without enough material to fill the class period. They’ll know when you’re winging it or tap dancing and go for the jugular.
(2) the class already has a communal personality, a sort-of pack mentality, the day you meet them; and if they sense weakness, they attack, generally by formulating a conundrum or a situation you can’t easily answer.
My technique for the off-the-wall, oblique, or non-sequitur questions for which I wasn’t fully prepared was, “Hey . . . now that’s an interesting thought!” And then turning it back on the individual who tossed the grenade at me, “Truth is, I don’t know for certain and don’t want to mislead you. So . . . how ’bout you lookin that up and giving us a report on it when we meet tomorrow.”
Of course that meant I had to do some research myself before the next class, but surprisingly they almost always took it as a challenge and actually put some energy into it. (And this was back in the days before Google, so they had to go to the library.)
Never lied to a class . . . overgeneralized at times, and even ducked issues, but never made up stuff or deliberately obfuscated/marginalized ’em.
I’d have made a really rotten Democrat politician.

Agree about no-knock warrants. There have been abuses by police departments who gang up with military style raids in situations that do not merit it Yes, you don’t want people flushing drugs down the toilet, grabbing their weapons, or texting comrades. It’s meant to confuse and disorient. Yet in many ‘mistaken’ raids (wrong info from an ‘informant’ who may have his own motives) victims of official sloppiness have managed to fire back under the entirely reasonable belief that a home invasion was in progress. I would.
Department of Justice position: “Although officers need not take affirmative steps to make an independent re-verification of the circumstances already recognized by a magistrate in issuing a no-knock warrant, such a warrant does not entitle officers to disregard reliable information clearly negating the existence of exigent circumstances when they actually receive such information before execution of the warrant.”
Famous case in Georgia: police smashed in front door with military style vehicle, tossed in flash bangs critically injuring an infant in a crib with horrific burns down to the ribs. The warrant stated ‘no kids present’ even though the family’s minivan was parked in front of the house in clear view – a hint. This kind of policing gives this tactic a baaaad name.
There is a style called “quick knock” where there is a knock and immediate forced entry. A distinction without a difference in my book. I think they should be limited to situations where there is a credible and grave risk of serious injury or death. To paraphrase Bill Clinton: keep them legal and rare.
And scale down the military styled attitudes that have police using weapons and vehicles because they can without regard to the merit of the situation. Pity the poor owner of this home who 5 years after the fact is still paying off loans he had to take to repair his home with no compensation from the city that executed this ‘raid’ with such poor judgment. Suspect fled to his house randomly after stealing a shirt and 2 belts.

You mentioned that horrible policy in Iraq/Afghan that got men killed and wounded unnecessarily. Very wrong! But there is only a little room for that tactic in civil policing.

Baysider, yes, there have been abuses, no doubt about it. I will almost always err on the side of law enforcement; they have families, they are sometimes scared witless at situations we can’t even imagine happen, they deserve to be able to use surprise to protect themselves. But yes, I HATE when they abuse, and that has happened. Thanks!

There should be compensation when property is wrongfully destroyed the same way they compensate victim’s families for wrongful deaths.

More wrong than right in the way they have come to be used in the increasingly militarized police forces. The fact that property compensation rarely happens for even completely innocent victims of police error and overreach makes me more cautious. That is so WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. I didn’t even send the worst example I could think of.
The rioting and ‘anti-blue’ attitude will only further isolate police from civilians. And THAT is terrible. We need to both respect their authority and feel we are ‘in this as a team’ which is no longer true – as per your post of the woman mouthing off to police. I will generally come down on the side of the blue, but always vigilant for transparency.

A former Assistant Police Chief in the LAPD described an incident one night when he was still working in the field as an officer. He and his partner took a call to arrest a suspect in a motel, the kind with a kitchenette. They barged in, and he saw the man around the corner lunge to grab something. He pulled his weapon and his partner shouted “no gun” or something like that. He held his fire. It turned out:
1) they were given a bum steer and had entered the room of a completely innocent man, who
2) was so startled by the intrusion that the potato he was peeling spurted out of his hands and
3) he reflexively lunged to grab it before it hit the floor.
The partner was in a better position to see that the man wasn’t lunging for a weapon and called the halt. He was eternally grateful. I wonder if that could have as happy an ending in today’s charged environment.
I agree about training. AND property compensation. That is almost universally resisted even when innocent bystanders are hurt. Same with ignoble or illegal property confiscations – they do not want to give the goods back. Lots of errors in ‘informant’ information, too, for all sorts of reasons. Informant is saying ‘something’ to get a deal, getting payback, or deflecting from his own activity by making up an address to send the cops to. This is a tough one. I would know nothing about criminal activities. Cops pretty much have to rely on other criminals.
