LIBBY EMMONS: We all had a bully like Kamala Harris
There’s nothing worse than a bunch of mean girls. In middle school, in high school, in the workplace, they all team up to belittle, insult and demean. And while brat may be the fashion of the season, no one really likes a mean girl, and mean girl is what Kamala Harris and her euphoric vibe campaign give most.
Out on the debate stage on Tuesday night, what came across most was her smirk, her attitude, and her refusal to answer questions with any substance. Her supporters speak about her policies, which essentially all amount to “she’s not Trump.” Harris supporting MSNBC pundits say that not only is Trump “despicable,” but so are all his supporters. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has even said that Trump supporters are, in the main, so sexist and racist that they can’t even be considered to be a relevant part of the voting public. The Democrats hate Trump supporters, think the Republican Party should entirely do away with MAGA and now RFK Jrs’ MAHA, and because they are just so mean, they have absolutely no problem saying it, whether on stages or on live TV.
Harris doesn’t have original thoughts, she repeats herself while her supporters say she doesn’t. She contradicts herself and demands everyone believe the brand new thing that spilled from her mouth 5 seconds ago instead of comments she made when she first sought the office she’s vying for now, in the 2020 Democratic primary. Holding up her policy positions today on guns, fracking, socialized health care, border security against her views on those issues just five years ago is enough to give a voter whiplash. Will the real Kamala Harris please stand up? Is there a real Kamala Harris? Or is she like those evil girls in Heathers or the Plastics of Mean Girls?
If Kamala’s campaign is running on vibes, if they don’t want to be judged on policy proposals or her recent record in the White House or in the Senate, if they don’t want her to be held accountable to comments she said back when she first embarked on a presidential run in 2019 and actually took interviews and answered questions, then perhaps vibe is that on which she should be judged. Let’s give it a try.
When Kamala hopped to the top of the ticket, it was at the expense of her boss Joe Biden. He departed the presidential race with a post on X, shortly after he endorsed her—again in a post on X—and how has she treated him since? She’s let him take the fall for any bad decisions made and otherwise entirely ignored him, his legacy, or her complicity in those bad decisions. Problems with the border? Joe’s fault. Service men and women killed in Afghanistan? Joe’s fault. When she was asked on the debate stage directly about the man who chose her to be his running mate, who got her into that White House she coveted so much, she deflected, blamed Trump, pretended he didn’t exist.
I think we all know what it feels like when mean girls pretend you don’t exist. When their eyes scan past you in the hallways at school, when they cut in front of you at the lunch line like you’re not even there. I can’t be the only one among us who was a middle school reject and gets those same popular girl vibes from Ms. Harris. Speaking of which, on multiple occasions, Kamala has chosen to speak at private events for her sorority sisters rather than do the job of the people. She goes out there claiming that she has only ever had one client, the American people, yet, when it comes right down to it and she has to choose between doing the work for the people and chilling with her sisters, she chose her sisters.
She skipped a meeting with Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu to give a speech to her girls instead. As she received the accolades, Netanyahu was making the case for the very existence of his nation to Congress. Kamala couldn’t be bothered, she had more important things to do. Good vibes for her pals, not so much for the rest of us. And what was the media response when Trump called her out for attending a “sorority party” instead of doing her job? Ahem, we were told by the press, that wasn’t a party, it was a “speaking engagement.”
Kamala’s given one interview and it was to her pal Dana Bash on CNN where she didn’t even have to talk for the whole time because she was allowed to bring along her running mate date Tim Walz. Mean girls never show up to a party alone. She hasn’t held a single press conference because she just doesn’t think she has to be accountable to the press, the fourth estate, for her views or positions or anything other than her vibe. As for the one and only debate the candidates will have before the rapidly approaching November contest, she refused to have it on any network than ABC, headed by her best friend, with one of her own sorority sisters for a moderator.
While she was up there, under the specially positioned cameras and lights designed to aid her appearance as a powerful woman replete with vibe chic, she lied about her opponent. She indulged in the spreading of rumors and falsehoods, she made claims about things he’s said that were not true, she misrepresented his positions and his affiliations at length, and at no point did her sorority sister or the simping toady who accompanied her in the job of moderation fact check or call out those lies. That was left to her opposing candidate, who had not only to answer the questions posed to him in his allotted two minutes, but to speak up for himself against the orgy of gossip and rumor levied by Ms. Harris.
This is the ultimate in mean girl behavior: spreading lies and rumors about someone else, someone you think you’re better than, for the sole purpose of making them appear to be lesser and untouchable. Maybe you never experienced it in your youth, but the mean girl impulse to lie, belittle, demean and humiliate the rejects definitely has its own vibe, and it’s not in the least pretty. This is the vibe Kamala gives off to me, that of a mean girl with a steely glint in her eye, lips coated in lies, and a laugh meant to put each of us in our place, somewhere well below the sole of her unsullied Converse All-Stars.

AUSTIN PETERSEN: Kamala Harris’ capital gains tax proposal is coming for you, not only the billionaires
Vice President Kamala Harris has thrown her support behind a Biden administration plan to tax unrealized gains—stock holdings that have increased in value but have not yet been sold. They claim that they only plan to target the wealthiest Americans. If history is any indication however, the tax will eventually be aimed at the middle class. And if recent history is any indication, Harris could turn on this policy on a dime if she thinks it won’t help her get elected.
Last week, Harris’ team sent flunkie Bharat Rama on CNBC to make the case for the tax, and got laughed at by host Joe Kernen for his lame-brained comparison of unrealized capital gains taxes to property taxes. The hosts took turns taking Rama to the woodshed, explaining the difference between a use tax, where someone actually gets to make use of their property, vs. an unrealized gains tax where no value has been created for the taxpayer yet. And to add insult to injury, the CNBC hosts finished him off by reminding him that property taxes actually go to things like schools and firefighters. You know, things people actually use? Added to Rama’s humiliation during the live segment was the terse reminder from the panelists that stock values can shift much faster than home values.
Under our current system, capital gains are only taxed when an asset is sold. This makes sense—taxes are paid on realized income, not on hypothetical, fluctuating values. But Harris and her progressive allies want to change this, imposing a levy on assets as their value increases, even if they are never cashed in. But imagine investors who bought $100,000 worth of stock on Jan. 1. And say the stock’s value hit $125,000 on Dec. 31. They’d be subject to a tax on the $25,000 gain even if the stock was never sold. Harris’ team is claiming that this would affect a narrow slice of the population for now, specifically those with a net worth of at least $100 million.
Of course anyone who wasn’t a D student in history will note that once the government establishes a new form of taxation, it rarely stays confined to its original target.
When the 16th Amendment was ratified in 1913, income tax rates were low, and only a tiny fraction of Americans were affected. Initially, the tax rate was just 1% on incomes above $3,000 (about $82,000 in today’s dollars), with a top rate of 7% on incomes over $500,000 (about $13.7 million today). The tax was only supposed to hit the wealthy, but it quickly expanded to cover more and more Americans. By the 1940s, millions of middle-class families were subject to income taxes at much higher rates. What started as a tax on the rich became a burden on everyone. The middle class is still suffering from the income tax today.
The Harris-backed proposal is just the latest example of this trend. Proponents argue that taxing unrealized gains would close a “loophole” that allows the wealthy to avoid paying their fair share. But this rhetoric is misleading. The so-called “buy, borrow, die” strategy—where wealthy individuals borrow against their assets without selling them—has been legal and widely used for decades. Changing the rules now would not only be unfair but also economically destabilizing.
Imagine being taxed on the value of your home as it fluctuates with the housing market, regardless of whether you sell it. If the market tanks, you’re stuck paying taxes on a value that no longer exists. This is precisely what could happen with Harris’ proposal. While the administration claims the tax would be assessed over five years to account for market volatility, this doesn’t eliminate the risk. It’s a risky gamble that could hurt more Americans than it helps.
Conservatives rightly argue that this proposal undermines the fundamental principles of property rights and financial privacy. The idea that the government could tax you on value you haven’t realized is not only absurd but also dangerous. It opens the door to even more invasive forms of taxation in the future.
Moreover, the Supreme Court’s recent decision in Moore v. United States raises new legal questions about the government’s power to tax in this way. While the ruling did not explicitly block a wealth tax, it suggested that future challenges could succeed. Harris’ plan would likely face significant legal and legislative hurdles, but the mere fact that it’s being seriously considered should alarm every American who values their financial freedom.
The Biden administration has framed this proposal as a “billionaire minimum income tax,” but let’s not be fooled. What starts with billionaires often ends with the rest of us. The administration’s own Treasury Department admits that “preferential treatment for unrealized gains disproportionately benefits high-wealth taxpayers.” History proves that once this door is opened, it won’t just be the wealthy who are affected.
We should reject this proposal for what it is: a dangerous overreach that could set a precedent for taxing everything from your retirement savings to the value of your home. If we don’t draw the line here, where will it end? Today, it’s the billionaires; tomorrow, it’s you.

Putin warns US, UK will be at war with Russia if Ukraine uses NATO long-range missiles
Russian President Vladimir Putin warned on Thursday that the NATO alliance would be “at war” with his country if Ukraine gets approval to use long-range missiles provided by the West to strike inside Russia.
Putin stated to a Russian reporter that Ukraine “is already striking with the help of drones and other means, but when it comes to using high-precision long-range Western-made weapons, it’s a completely different story,” adding that Ukraine would not have the technology to be able to do this without the help of the EU or the United States. “This would in a significant way change the very nature of the conflict … It would mean that NATO countries, The United States, European countries, are at war with Russia.”
This comes a day after United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken indicated that President Joe Biden is expected to lift a ban on British Storm Shadow Missiles being used by Ukraine to fire into Russia with the help of US-made technology. The United States and the United Kingdom reportedly resumed conversations regarding the utilization of Storm Shadows following the shipment of new Iranian weaponry to Russia.
“Russia has now received shipments of these ballistic missiles and will likely use them within weeks in Ukraine against Ukrainians,” Blinken said. “This is a threat, not only to Ukraine and the Ukrainian people but to all of Europe.”
Blinken traveled to Ukraine on Wednesday to meet with Ukraine’s Foreign Secretary, David Lammy, to discuss the lift on the ban and is expected to return to Washington, DC on Friday with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to further the conversations.
In February, Putin discussed the possibility of the US and Europe sending troops from NATO countries to fight with Ukraine, saying that they “must, in the end, understand” that “all this truly threatens a conflict with the use of nuclear weapons, and therefore the destruction of civilization.”
“We also have weapons that can strike targets on their territory,” he said. “Do they not understand this?”
