White Dudes For Kamala: Aren't You Ashamed of Yourselves?

In her interview on 60 Minutes, Kamala Harris, the Democrats' presidential candidate, said this: 

Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by, or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region. 

As Americans later learned, CBS doctored the transcript to make Harris sound less incoherent, and Donald Trump sued the network for biased reporting

Harris's 60 Minutes babble was just one example of her inability to speak clearly and forthrightly. Nevertheless, more than 70 million people voted for Harris to be the next leader of the Free World.

Presumably, this number includes all those male Democratic sycophants who showed up (via "live video call") for a "White Dudes for Kamala" rally last July.

According to the New York Times, 60,000 men attended this video event, which was headlined by Jeff Bridges:

Kicking off the White Dudes call was, of course, the Dude, the actor Jeff Bridges, abiding in a comfortable-looking chair. He had seen a link for the “White Dudes for Harris” trucker hat and wanted one. “I qualify!” he said. “I am white. I am a dude. And I love Harris!”

As reported by the media, the White Dudes rally was a stunning success and raised $4 million for the Harris campaign--enough to cover the fees the Harris team paid to production companies owned by Ophrah and Beyonce for their efforts on Kamala's behalf.

We know how that turned out. On election day, Donald Trump soundly defeated Harris. Indeed, he made gains in key demographic groups compared to previous Republican performances, including white, black, and Hispanic men. 

Is anyone embarrassed?

Why did so many celebrities publicly support Harris for president when she was clearly a dud? I think the glitterati were just lazy.

Like the cinematic Big Lebowski, who was described in Sam Elliott's voiceover as "the laziest man in Los Angeles," the coastal elites always support the most liberal and progressive candidates for any public office. It's easier than thinking for themselves.

Fortunately, millions of white dudes did their own thinking and voted for Trump. Can you imagine where the country would be right now if Harris and Tim Walz were running the country?

The laziest man in Los Angeles.

Mamas, Don't Let Your Cowboys Grow Up to be Babies: Willie Nelson Performs at a Kamala Harris Rally

 Kamala Harris held a rally in Houston over the weekend. Someone in the Harris camp promised an appearance by Beyonce, and thousands of Beyonce fans showed up in anticipation of a musical performance.

Beyonce did indeed appear briefly, but she didn't sing. Instead, the crowd heard Willie Nelson, the legendary country singer. Same difference, right?

Apparently not. Feeling victimized by a bait-and-switch, thousands of rally attendees booed Kamala when she appeared on stage to diffuse her politics of joy.

I love Willie Nelson. I am the last living fan to have attended his first 4th of July music festival in Dripping Springs, Texas, in 1973. I wore the grooves off my antique vinyl record of "The Red Headed Stranger" album. 

I sympathize with the Kamala supporters who were angered by the Beyonce debacle. If I had shown up to attend a Kamala rally expecting to hear Willie Nelson's golden voice, I would have been miffed to be treated to Beyonce instead. 

Nevertheless, what makes Kamala Harris think she can win votes by snagging celebrity endorsements? Who gives a shit about George Clooney's political stance, or an endorsement by Beyonce, Bruce Springsteen, or Julia Roberts? 

I'm casting my presidential vote based on global events. Which presidential candidate will help bring the Ukraine war to a close so my grandkids don't get drafted to fight in Eastern Europe? Which candidate will honor our nation's commitment to guarantee Israel's right to exist?

In these volatile times, when the world is on fire, Americans who cast their vote for Kamala Harris because a celebrity endorsed her are behaving like infants.
