And just like that Vice President Kamala Harris is the Democratic nominee for President of the United States of America, Leader of the Democratic Party, former California senator, former attorney general of California, former district attorney of Alameda County, and former district attorney of San Francisco. As a senator, Harris supported stricter gun control laws, the DREAM Act, federal legalization of cannabis, tax reform, and universal healthcare including abortions on demand.
Two months after President Biden was sworn into office he assigned Harris to address the “root causes” of illegal immigration on our southern border. The numbers of illegal migrants pouring over the border skyrocketed to record heights without abatement over the next three years. Eight months into their first year in office, the Biden/Harris administration had opened our southern border to record numbers of illegal immigrants. The Pew Research Center said, “The U.S. Border Patrol reported more than 1.6 million encounters with migrants along the U.S.-Mexico border in the 2021 fiscal year, more than quadruple the number of the prior fiscal year and the highest annual total on record.” President Biden insisted that Harris “be in every core decision-making meeting” according to National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan. Three months after their inauguration Harris was the last person in the room when Biden decided to remove all troops from Afghanistan in what became one of the most colossal foreign policy debacles in our history. According to Reuters, “WASHINGTON, Aug 30 (Reuters) - The United States on Monday completed its military withdrawal from Afghanistan after a huge but chaotic airlift that cost the lives of 13 U.S. troops and left behind thousands of Afghans and hundreds of Americans still seeking an escape from Taliban rule.” The Bureau of Labor Statistics released inflation data of 1.4% in January 2021. The Wall Street Journal reported in August 2021, “Consumer prices rose 5.4% in July from a year earlier, the same pace as in June, the highest 12-month rate since 2008 according to the Labor Department.” The inflation rate in the US has remained high during the Biden/Harris administration. On June 27, two months ago, President Joe Biden debated former president Donald Trump on CNN. Rumors of Biden’s mental acuity had circulated since the 2020 campaign. Questions continued to linger after he entered the White House, but everyone in his administration insisted the president could run circles around those he saw every day. More than three years into his first term Biden was still regaled as one of the smartest presidents in history by Democrats and the vast majority of media in the U.S. Somewhere around the 13:00 minute mark into the debate President Biden began showing signs of severe confusion. His performance went down from there. Three weeks later Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic candidate for the presidency. And, one month later without receiving a single vote in a primary Kamala Harris accepted the Democratic Party’s nomination as candidate for President of the United States of America. “Democracy dies in darkness.” - Slogan of the Washington Post President Biden’s campaign was centered around defending “democracy” from another Trump presidency. Harris has taken that mantra and substituted “freedom” for “democracy.” What are Kamala Harris’ policies on inflation, the border crisis, and foreign wars? Daniel L.

Trollfest '09
Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.
Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).
Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.
Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".
In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.
In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.
Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.
Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!
This is definitely a Beaver production.

Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.
There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

Nothing about 'mean tweets'?
Economic impacts aren't instantaneous DL.
Oddly, you seem to give no praise or criticism to Pense for Trump's decisions while in office. Please read the "job description" for a vice president. Being in the room doesn't mean you can implement anything. Indeed, even Presidents need a cooperative Congress. The reality is that no vice President has authority to do anything but to support the President's policies and chair the Senate according to the Senate's rules.
You ignore the impacts of both Covid and Trump's tariffs on inflation. You also ignore that our economy is the best in the world today. We didn't suffer Covid's effect on production and supply alone.
You totally ignore that Trump agreed to release Taliban prisoners held in Afghanistan 6 weeks before deadline Trump committed the US to honor in the negotiations. So, there were Taliban loose inside the borders with lots of time to build bombs and get intel on our withdrawal.
The least you could do is read Trump's peace agreement with the Taliban. And, read textbooks on economics and the U.S. government before you opine on those subjects.
You are simply a puppet for Trump extremist party propaganda. You need to spend more time reading the opinion of actual conservatives...not propagandists and talking heads.
Harris is at least a centrist who doesn't go along with the crazy wing of the Democrats. Her main political weakness is that is that some men would never vote for a woman...including Margaret Thatcher's clone or Catherine the Great that Trump's buddy, Putin is channeling.
"Harris is a centrist"? Whoa Boy! Can't wait to hear you 'splain how she's been awarded the title as most liberal member of the senate (during her mostly absent at roll-call tenure).
Don't forget that she was the mistress of the then Speaker of the California Assembly, Willie Brown. Willie, whom I have met, was a very powerful Dem, and his casting couch stimulated Ms. Harris's career, so to speak.
@7:59 AM Identifying Harris as a centrist completely disqualifies your comments. I guess you’d also assume Chockie Lamumbalips to be a centrist too, huh?

7:59 just took the lead as the most ridiculous post of 2024 on JJ.
No foul, I ve promoted more than one after a roll in the hay. Sometimes you gotta pay to play. Just ask.
I can't wait to read your synopsis on Joseph Stalin's life. You probably have Stalin to the right of Reagan.
@12:47 - seemed like a level headed post to me. Some will a different take on how center Kamala is, but otherwise spot on. MAGAs aren’t living in reality.
Whether Harris is a centrist is beside the point. Republicans have bought into the whole cult of Trump's personality. They are a party of sychophants and boot lickers who have given in to the notion that winning -- as opposed to governing -- is all that matters. Character (or lack thereof) seems to make no difference to the GOP. Shame on us if we elect the most narcissistic, mean-spirited candidate who has EVER been or run for president -- again.
You can write all the lengthy post you want to, there's noway to defend Biden's fiasco withdrawal from Afghanistan. Neither can you separate that fiasco from the vice cackler, also known as the word-salad-queen.
Kamala Harris is a cackling nitwit.
Compared to the "crazy wings" of each of their purported parties, Trump and Harris could both be termed "centrists." Neither are fit to be POTUS. But the unfitness of one does not convey fitness upon the other, no matter which one you might support or vote.
7:59 You confuse being a "centrist" with "opportunist". They are definitely not the same although they do sometimes intermingle.
Sounds like it was written by a fourth grader about some incident on a playground.
9:10 said it best. Amen.
