 Kamala’s losing. So it’s time for the Left’s latest October surprise: an unsubstantiated story from Democrat operative Jeffrey Goldberg about Trump being nasty about a murdered Latina soldier. It’s hideously ugly trash, but the entire media run with it. She’s going to lose anyway, because nobody buys this bullshit. https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/1849178017819443200/vid/avc1/1920x1080/j9_F-orfLRJvBoE1.mp4?tag=16 
 Hey, come to think of it, somebody should ask Kamala Harris why she wants to slow-walk aide to the Jews who want to fight people who literally agree with Hitler (Hamas and Hezbollah and Iranian government)? Oh, she took no questions and walked away.

 Why are Leftists losing their minds over Trump's McDonald's campaign appearance? Because it demonstrates that he likes and cares about regular Americans. That's genuine. As opposed to Kamala, who must receive a briefing session to pretend to care.

 It's not just that Harris is foolish or incoherent. It's the sneering disdain with which she treats even the possibility of having to answer questions or run a campaign. She was handed her vice presidency. Now she expects to simply be handed the presidency.

 Make no mistake: this has nothing to do with the aid to Gaza. This is about Israel's response to Iran. It's a threat that if Israel goes too hard (say, targets nuclear facilities or oil fields), Biden will claim it's about the Gaza aid and cut off military aid.
