Kamala Harris laughs at parents whose children are barred from in-person schoolingVice President Kamala Harris also laughed so hard that she had to pause momentarily as she began discussing parents forced to stay home with their children when schools canceled in-person education.\u201cI\u2019ll close by saying this,\u201d said Harris during a March 26 visit to a childcare center in West Haven, Connecticut. \u201cI believe in that, that saying that in every crisis, there is an opportunity, if we see it for what it is. This pandemic resulted in so much loss to human life, people lost their jobs, loss of normalcy, so much loss and devastation.\u201dBut then she turned to the \u201copportunity\u201d: Harris believed that these conditions made Americans more likely to support the administration\u2019s political agenda, especially its expansion of the welfare state.\u201cThe opportunity is, more people are seeing that, yeah, affordable childcare is a big deal. More parents are seeing the value of educators,\u201d she said, as she began laughing, \u201cwhen they had to bring their kids [home, she said laughing so hard she had to stop for a moment. Parents who had to care for their own children said, \u201cWe\u2019re not paying them nearly enough,\u201d Harris said, continuing to laugh as she adjusted her mask.Kamala Harris laughs hysterically when discussing struggling parents who aren\u2019t able to send their kids to school. pic.twitter.com\/h4O4Ujkc4T\u2014 Mythinformed MKE (@MythinformedMKE) March 29, 2021In fact, a growing number of parents grew concerned about the content and quality of their children\u2019s education during the pandemic. Multiple studies proved that school boards\u2019 decisions to close in-person instruction \u2014 which led to an estimated one-fifth of a year of learning loss among students (one day for each day of remote learning) \u2014 had more to do with the power of teachers unions than with local infection rates. Parents also raised concerns about the teaching of controversial, polarizing ideologies like Critical Race Theory and furnishing minors with sexually explicit, homoerotic pornography in their libraries. An estimated 3 million women also left the U.S. workforce during the COVID pandemic, many because they had to stay home so their children could attend remote education.3. Jen Psaki sarcastically responds to question about Americans unable to get presents due to supply chain issuesWhite House spokesperson Jen Psaki also tried to rhetorically parry a question about U.S. households being unable to purchase the items they need because the supply chain has left them mired in interminable delivery schedules.\u201cIt was clear in March of 2020, when COVID hit, that the supply chains across the world had been disrupted,\u201d said Fox News reporter Peter Doocy. As time went on, it became \u201ccrystal clear that things were not improving on supply chain.\u00a0People couldn\u2019t get dishwashers and furniture and treadmills delivered on time, not to mention all sorts of other things.\u201d\u201cThe tragedy of the treadmill that\u2019s delayed,\u201d Psaki said condescendingly.Doocy clarified that he had a \u201cserious point,\u201d asking if America\u2019s barren shelves are \u201ca reflection of the fact that his administration has failed to kind of anticipate and is much more reactive to these kinds of things rather than getting ahead of them, as they should?\u201d.@PressSec makes light of supply chain issues, laughing about &#8220;the tragedy of the treadmill that&#8217;s delayed.&#8221; pic.twitter.com\/bQdKyCRskb\u2014 Townhall.com (@townhallcom) October 19, 2021Psaki\u2019s and Buttigieg\u2019s comments followed remarks made by Kamala Harris during her visit to Singapore in August that \u201cif you want to have Christmas toys for your children it might be the time to start buying them because the delay may be many, many months.\u201d4. Kamala Harris laughs when asked if she is going to the southern borderKamala Harris laughed again on March 22 when asked if she would visit the U.S. border with Mexico to observe the situation firsthand.\u201cDo you plan to visit the border?\u201d\u00a0a reporter asked.\u201cUm, not today!\u201d she said before cackling.Apparently, the border crisis is now a laughing matter for the Biden administration.WATCH: VP Kamala Harris laughs when asked if she has any plans to visit the border. pic.twitter.com\/z3AdoFX0Dq\u2014 Steve Guest (@SteveGuest) March 22, 2021Two days later, President Biden would task her with handling the flow of illegal immigrants into the United States, saying she\u2019s \u201cthe most qualified person to do it, to lead our efforts with Mexico and the Northern Triangle, and the countries that can help, need help in stemming the movement of so many folks, stemming the migration to our southern border.\u201d As The Daily Wire\u2019s Ryan Saavedra reported:Photojournalists,\u00a0news programs, and\u00a0reporters\u00a0have repeatedly pressed the Biden administration over the administration\u2019s refusal to give the press access to view the inside of the facilities. Even Fox News host Chris Wallace called out DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over the administration\u2019s refusal to grant access to the media due to the pandemic as sounding \u201clike an excuse\u201d and \u201cnot a legitimate reason.\u201dThe situation has only deteriorated. A record-breaking 1,734,686 illegal immigrants and 11,201 pounds of fentanyl crossed the U.S. border with Mexico over the last fiscal year. (Each pound of fentanyl can kill almost 227,000 Americans, and law enforcement officials say opioids caused about\u00a0three-quarters\u00a0of last year\u2019s 93,000\u00a0overdose deaths nationwide.) Illegal border crossings skyrocketed after the election of the Biden-Harris ticket. Both the president and vice president campaigned on providing amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants and furnishing new arrivals with \u201cfree\u2019 health care.Although Harris did eventually visit the southwestern border, she has always maintained her portfolio deals with the alleged \u201croot causes\u201d of illegal immigration to the U.S., leading the administration to attempt to renegotiate agreements with Central and South American nations after canceling similar pacts hammered out by President Donald Trump.5. Poll shows Americans believe Biden is incompetent and unfocusedAt an August 22 press conference \u2014 an exceedingly rare event in the Biden administration \u2014 a reporter asked President Biden about a new poll showing that \u201cthe majority of Americans \u2014 forgive me; I\u2019m just the messenger \u2014 no longer find you competent, focused, or effective in the job.\u201d\u201cI haven\u2019t seen that poll,\u201d Biden replied. When the reporter assured the president that the poll existed, the president laughed before turning the discussion to his decision to withdraw from Afghanistan.\u00a0\u201cLook, I had a basic decision to make,\u201d Biden said. \u201cMy job is to make judgments no one else can or will make.\u201d While most Americans support ending the 20-year engagement in Afghanistan, they opposed his precipitous withdrawal, which left hundreds of Americans trapped in a country run by the Taliban.The CBS News\/YouGov poll, released earlier that day, found that only 49% of Americans believe Joe Biden is \u201ccompetent\u201d; 48% believe he is mentally \u201cfocused\u201d; and 47% believe he is \u201ceffective\u201d as president.POLL: President Biden chuckles when confronted with a poll showing a majority of Americans don&#8217;t believe he is &#8220;competent, focused, or effective in the job.&#8221; pic.twitter.com\/Opk9PwizpG\u2014 Forbes (@Forbes) August 23, 2021The 2020 election largely became a referendum on President Donald Trump\u2019s personality and policies during the height of the COVID-19 lockdowns, while Biden essentially sequestered himself inside his basement, called a lid early on weekdays, and refused to comment on pivotal issues like packing the Supreme Court. Yet Biden\u2019s evasive behaviors have continued now that he occupies the Oval Office, leaving U.S. citizens disregarding of his efforts and uncertain about his capabilities. And his handpicked administrators\u2019 actions leave U.S. citizens feeling as though their concerns are matter of mirth for, or of little concern to, their elected officials.Such an outcome is no laughing matter.The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
