We should be truly grateful.
For this was the week in which Kamala Harris broke her post-election silence. And I think anyone who saw it can agree: the vice president is not doing well.
In an almost 10-minute-long word salad, the former presidential candidate told her supporters such things as: “You have the same power that you did before November 5, and you have the same purpose that you did. And you have the same ability to engage and inspire, so don’t ever let anybody or any circumstance take your power from you.”
The only thing that made Harris’ message different from a late-night conversation with a very drunk friend was that at no point did Harris actually say “I love you guys” and then burst out weeping.
But it was a reminder of how close this country came to a decline that other countries are experiencing.
In the days when you could still mention Christopher Columbus without causing a woke meltdown, Ira Gershwin wrote: “They all laughed at Christopher Columbus when he said the world was round.”
As I surveyed Kamala’s miserable video message, I thought of all the people who have been sidelined, laughed at and smeared by various “establishments” in recent years for pursuing unpopular truths. And I remembered how the Gershwin brothers finished their great song.
“Who’s got the last laugh now?”
