Let’s assume that chief executives responsible for major appointments know something about whom they’re appointing.
Minnesota governor Tim Walz, the Democrat running for vice president, was fine with the appointment of an associate professor “of urban and multicultural education,” Brian Lozenski, to help write the state’s “ethnic studies” standards. Those were supposed to have been released for public comment in August but being kept under wraps.
Lozenski’s left-wing ideas are notorious in Minnesota. For instance, he has advocated overthrowing the United States — not to be replaced by an Elysium of reason and freedom, we can be sure.
Let’s also assume that someone running for president of the United States is familiar with his or her own views and agenda.
One thing we should know about his running mate, the current Vice President Kamala Harris, is that in 2020 she asked people to “help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota.” In jail for unpeacefully destroying the property of others.
A couple of years later, she denied making the appeal … but her tweet doing so remained up on the platform and, regardless, had been screenshot.
Commentators sometimes suggest that the future policies of Kamala Harris are mysterious, since she has said or half-said so many different things.
What mystery?
All of her left-wing, socialist, anti-capitalist, anti-First Amendment, anti-Second Amendment statements and actions express her true impulses. All her blarney about how she’s now a big fan of fracking or a gun owner who’d drop any intruder, etc., are attempts to fool voters who’d be appalled by her actual agenda.
This is Common Sense. I’m Paul Jacob.
