For a candidate who claims to focus on “good vibes” and “joy,” Kamala Harris knows how to cut through the hype.
A USA Today article covering her Friday night rally in Texas said it all: “Beyoncé endorses Kamala Harris at Houston rally, but doesn’t perform.”
If Queen B liked Harris she would have put a ring on her!
After Harris announced that Beyoncé would be joining her in Houston this week, many outlets reported that Jay-Z’s better half would sing. That’s the point, right?
So imagine the disappointment when Beyoncé came out last night and announced, “I’m not here as a celebrity, I’m not here as a politician, I’m here as a mother.” (Actually, Bee, the only The reason you were there is because you’re a celebrity.)
Adding mortification to injury, this was the second time in a row that Harris stood by as reports swirled about a Beyoncé performance.
I was in the crowd at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this July when rumors were swirling that she would appear there, too.
For a candidate who claims to focus on “good vibes” and “joy,” Kamala Harris knows how to cut through the hype.
A USA Today article covering her Friday night rally in Texas says it all: “Beyoncé endorses Kamala Harris at Houston rally, but doesn’t perform.”
At that time I wrote: “Unfortunately, he turned out to be a big-headed fake…”
A few months later and just nine days before the presidential election, that’s a metaphor for Harris’ campaign: a big fake.
It turns out that a candidate fueled by TikTok memes is actually sputtering smoke. And worse yet, (put the earmuffs on Ella Emhoff) the ‘vibrations’ have gotten very, very bad.
It’s not just Beyoncé that’s leaving Kamala in the lurch, liberal newspapers are abandoning her too.
The Los Angeles Times and The Washington Post have broken with decades of precedent and will not endorse the Democratic presidential candidate this year.
The editors of the LA Times and WaPost claim to have various reasons for refusing to engage with Kamala’s sinking star. But do you really think they would have left Joe Biden or Barack Obama hanging with the threat of Trump ‘the fascist’ looming?
Maybe they’ve realized, unlike Kamala’s campaign, that you can’t fool your audience with tricks… or they’ll cancel their subscriptions.
Polls also show that rank-and-file union members, and particularly men who didn’t go to college, are also not supporting Giggles McGhee.
That’s what you get for holding up Dirty Dougie Emhoff and Wily Tim Walz as models of masculinity.
And, big surprise, Kamala’s cameo on the ninth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race didn’t help her win over socially conservative Arab American voters in Dearborn, Michigan.
They are still furious that she has not broken up with President Narcolepsy over the Gaza war, despite all of her vague signs about it threatening to cost her this critical swing state.
Former Obama campaign guru David Axelrod put it well this week. After Harris’ disastrous CNN town hall Wednesday night, he noted that when she doesn’t want to answer a difficult question, she tends to resort to “word salad city.”
Adding mortification to injury, it was the second time in a row that Harris stood by as reports swirled about a Beyoncé performance.
Maybe that’s the only place where she can be chosen.
In fact, with each passing hour, our Cackler-In-Chief wannabe’s promising future looks darker than her husband Doug’s dating history. (Read here)
The national race is now in a supposed “tie.” But if you’re a Democrat that means: you’re dead meat.
The real race is in the battleground states that will decide the electoral college winner. In September everyone was in truly volatile territory. But today, Trump leads in each of them by a slim difference of one percentage point, according to Real Clear Average polls.
But look closer and you’ll see that Harris is also dramatically underperforming in each of these states compared to where Joe Biden was four years ago and where Hillary Clinton was in 2016.
And on one of the most important issues of this election – immigration – all the signs for Kamala look bad.
Canada’s first Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, admitted this week that allowing unchecked migration to his country was a mistake. Harris owns the disaster of mass migration in the United States.
“We haven’t struck the right balance,” Trudeau said, announcing that his government will drastically reduce the number of new immigrants they will allow into Canada.
The same could be said of Kamala’s campaign: unbalanced: too much false joy, too little sincerity; Too many memes, too little substance.
Sorry Momola, not even Beyoncé thinks you should rule the world.
Oops! She did it again…
Britney is getting married for the fourth time. But, always unconventional, if not unhinged, she bucked boring conventions, put on a wedding voucher and walked down the lonely aisle of self-love this week, ‘marrying’ herself.
I pray to the pop gods that this lasts, because our girl needs to stay away from the boys big time.
Incredible!
You’d think Justin Bieber’s father would be a little more protective of his younger children given the well-documented, damaging effects of child stardom on his now 30-year-old son.
But not. Jeremy Bieber apparently sees no problem with having an Instagram account that posts bikini photos of Justin’s half-sister Bay, who is only 6 years old.
An investigation by the Mail found creepy comments on some of these posts, written by male users among her 357,000 followers.
For the ugliest of gluttons, the hunger for fame is truly a bottomless pit of clicks and cruelty.

Tim’s stories
Even the shrews at The View are now pressing vice presidential hopeful Tim Walz about his potentially pathological impulse to lie.
Leaning on his fakest good-guy gimmick, “aww shucks,” he told the panel that he’s actually just “being a coach, being a teacher” and “speaking from the heart.”
So coaches and teachers lie for a living? What a way to throw away two honorable professions, Pinocchio!
Elegant diaper!
Kim K strutted down the red carpet at the Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles last weekend looking like a desperate divorcee who had changed out of her wedding lingerie and into an adult diaper.
The West Coast event is said to be the ‘new Met Gala,’ but Kim and her disgusting sisters looked so silly that Kanye’s stocking-clad hostage Bianca Censori could be heard bursting into giggles.

Harvey Weinstein, the pockmarked face who fueled a thousand lawsuits and the #MeToo movement, has been diagnosed with a rare bone cancer.
Last month he underwent emergency heart and lung surgery. With any luck, the taxpayer will no longer have to fund his treatment in the near future.
Gotham’s hero.
Former US Marine Daniel Penny will stand trial as jury selection begins in Manhattan this week.
All of this could take 6 weeks, and Penny faces up to 15 years in prison for the death of Jordan Neely by strangulation on the subway.
The case has divided New Yorkers, with many admitting they secretly hope there is a shiny Penny in their midst to protect them against the pervasive violence and mental illness ravaging our public transportation system.
The problem is, in Alvin Bragg’s Gotham City, good people often get bad results and violent criminals go free.
