Article from Reason by Christian Britschgi.
On Monday, Sen. Kamala Harris (D–Calif.) announced her intention to run for president in 2020. The announcement spurred celebration from supporters of the former prosecutor, as well as a fair bit of criticism from those who remember her record of protecting dirty prosecutors and cracking down on sex work. Harriss’s successful effort to secure federal funding for California’s disastrous highspeed rail project has received less attention. Let’s fix that.
Prior to being elected to the Senate in 2016, Harris had expressed only qualified support for California’s highspeed rail project, sayingthat, while she was in favor of it “as part of a broader strategy to invest in our future,” she still wanted it closely monitored for “cost overruns and delays.”
But since taking office, she has changed her tune, saying “infrastructure spending isn’t a transportation issue for most Americans—it’s a human rights issue.”
That framing earned her a lot of derision on social media, but in the Senate—arguably a more important forum—her views earned her a spot on the Environment and Public Works Committee, a position Harris has since used to secure hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding for highspeed rail through the Caltrain Electrification Project.

She’s gonna be another Obama, seeing how fast she can take down this country, and reviving the PC and racist mantra, which I don’t even listen to anymore, nor do any of my friends. Obama the pr*ck ran it in the ground. I’ll do whatever I can to make sure she doesn’t get elected, especially after the disastrous examination of Kavenaugh and his treatment during the supreme court hearings. I think she made an ass of herself along with Feinstein, the “leaker” who should be in jail for “leaking” the letter she received from Ford.
I agree with you 100%
We are right with you on this whole comment. Harris is as rotten as a democrat can get and that includes Pelosi who sits on her high horse acting like a Queen. Hopefully P.T. will knock her down and let the horse trample her underfoot — along with Harris! Nothing good for America comes from those two demawitches!
Not to mention Diane’s Chinese driver of 20+ f-n yrs.
And she should be investigated for having in her employ a Chinese SPY!! No one is looking into that, the POWER elite are still running D.C. Maybe Trump will do something about that.
you are absolutely correct. Remember a president is often judged by the damage he does to the United states after he has left office. I do not think that in my lifetime we will ever be able to overcome the damage done by Obama.
America does not need another outright Communist, Obama was enough.
Nah. ObarASSment was actually president. White-ish/Black-ish Kamala won’t be. All that info about how she screwed Willie Brown (yeah, I wrote it) to get appointed to cool committees and positions (?) will come out. And despite people saying, “she’s only human”, it’ll be egg she can’t BURN off her liberal, pandering fake-feminist face. BTW, Brown was 69, and she was 27. He was married, too. (Must’ve been some STUD for a chick looks as good [HAHAHAHA] as Harris to want to tumble for him?) Oh, you think she was doing him for another reason? Hmmmmm could it have been POLITICAL?
And no one’s talking about the sexual harassment cases she had squashed while she was prosecutor in “FRISCO”,,,,,,,,,,,,, (term used as an insult)!!
A half breed “MALOTO”,,,,,,,,, look who’s sitting next to her,,,,,,,,,,,, another half breed MALOTO,,,,,, (HIGH YELLOW)!!!
Harris got to where she is today flatback-en it all the way!
She was a two bit political type in California. Having moved to Washington D.C., only her geographic location has changed.
This woman is dumb dumb dumb, a joke
