Thus, to the party&rsquo;s true believers, consistency means nothing, for every policy proposal constitutes a means to the same end.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2024\/08\/27\/kamala-harris-flip-flops-border-wall\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Axios<\/a>, Vice President and 2024 Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris has pledged to build former President Donald Trump&rsquo;s border wall, despite once denouncing that wall as a &ldquo;medieval vanity project.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Of course, true to her scattershot thinking and general opacity on policy-related details, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-trump-campaign-forces-kamala-harris-debate-devastating-new-ad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harris<\/a> did not say so directly.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, Axios cited her speech at last week&rsquo;s Democratic National Convention in Chicago, where she pledged to sign a so-called &ldquo;bipartisan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-red-wave-of-conservative-women-elected-to-congress\/\" title=\"The Red Wave of Conservative Women Elected to Congress\">border security<\/a> bill&rdquo; negotiated in part by Republican Sen. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/just-extremely-controversial-border-bill-just-died-senate-vote\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">James Lankford<\/a> of Oklahoma and defeated in the Senate earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>  <script> \t\t\t\tif( ! getCookie( 'ff_subbed' ) ) if( typeof FFADS.replace_ict !='undefined' ) if( FFADS.replace_ict ) eval( FFADS.replace_ict ); \t\t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It requires the Trump border wall,&rdquo; Lankford told Axios. &ldquo;It is in the bill itself that it sets the standards that were set during the Trump administration: Here&rsquo;s where it will be built. Here&rsquo;s how it has to be built, the height, the type, everything during the Trump construction.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Lankford, of course, deserves permanent exile from the Republican Party for negotiating that bill in the first place. Its ghastly provisions allowed for as many as 5,000 illegal crossings per day, and it paved the way for amnesty. As Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas said at the time, the bill merely &ldquo;codified [President] Joe Biden&rsquo;s open borders.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Thus, for anyone who hopes to explain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/kamala-harris-set-begin-highly-choreographed-flip-flop-key-issues-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harris&rsquo;<\/a>&nbsp;apparent flip-flop, several possibilities exist.<\/p>\n<p>First, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-defector-emails-pipeline-to-obama-admin-seen-as-currency\/\" title=\"Hunter Biden Defector Emails: &#039;Pipeline&#039; to Obama Admin Seen as &#039;Currency&#039;\">vice president<\/a> never read Lankford&rsquo;s grotesque border bill. So she had no idea that it required Trump&rsquo;s wall.<\/p>\n<p>This seems plausible, given that Democrats used that bill only as a prop. After all, if they cared about border security, they would have closed the border three and a half years ago. It stands to reason, therefore, that Harris might have had no idea what the bill contained.<\/p>\n<p>Second, Harris knew that the bill required the border wall and had no problem flip-flopping on the issue.<\/p>\n<p>This also seems plausible, because <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/kamala-betrays-voters-caves-crucial-issues-democrats-care-cost\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harris<\/a> has flip-flopped on a number of issues between 2019 and 2024. For instance, when she ran for president five years ago, she adopted the most radical leftist positions on everything from open borders to gun confiscation. With the help of her friends in the establishment media, however, she has re-branded herself as a centrist.<\/p>\n<p>Third, Harris knows that her party&rsquo;s media minions will allow her to get away with ripping off Trump&rsquo;s ideas.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, for instance, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/vp-harries-meets-allies-in-poland-and-romania-awkwardness-ensues\/\" title=\"VP Harries Meets Allies in Poland and Romania, Awkwardness Ensues\">vice president pledged<\/a> to enact Trump&rsquo;s signature &ldquo;no tax on tips&rdquo; proposal. She did this despite the Biden administration&rsquo;s 2023 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/kamala-harris-copies-one-trumps-signature-campaign-promises-past-betrays\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IRS crackdown<\/a> on tip reporting.<\/p>\n<p>Did she not know about the Lankford bill&rsquo;s border wall requirement? Does she have confidence that the establishment media will excuse her flip-flops? Or, does she view politics so cynically that she feels no shame in stealing another candidate&rsquo;s idea?<\/p>\n<p>The ugly truth probably involves at least one of the three, but it also runs much deeper.<\/p>\n<p>In short, Democrats have no program and no principles, apart from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/25-killed-dnc-planned-parenthood-abortion-truck-books-available-appointments-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">child sacrifice<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/detransitioned-young-man-patient-life-castration-warns-gender-affirming-care\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mutilation<\/a>. Thus, neither honesty nor consistency has any meaning to them. Everything they say or do looks toward the acquisition and consolidation of power for its own sake.<\/p>\n<p>Understand that, and all else makes sense.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\">  <\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> <label>* Name<\/label> <br \/> <input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> <\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> <label>* <\/label> <br \/> <input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> <\/div>\n<p> <label>* Message<\/label> <br \/> <textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea>  <\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> <input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\">  <\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey==typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts={ \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs=[ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i=0; i <inputs.length; i++ ) if( !

Similar to its communist counterparts from the 20th century, the Democratic Party lacks a greater purpose. For its staunch supporters, consistency is irrelevant since every policy initiative serves the same goal. According to Axios, Vice President and 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has committed to constructing former President Donald Trump\u2019s border wall, despite previously criticizing it as a \u201cmedieval vanity project.\u201d However, true to her vague approach and lack of clarity on policy matters, Harris did not explicitly state this. Instead, Axios referenced her speech at last week\u2019s Democratic National Convention in Chicago where she promised to endorse a so-called \u201cbipartisan border security bill\u201d partly negotiated by Republican Senator James Lankford of Oklahoma and previously rejected in the Senate earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt requires the Trump border wall,\u201d Lankford informed Axios. \u201cThe bill itself outlines standards established during the Trump administration: specifying where it will be built and detailing construction requirements such as height and materials used.\u201d Lankford certainly deserves permanent exclusion from the Republican Party for even negotiating that bill initially. Its alarming provisions could allow up to 5,000 illegal crossings daily while facilitating amnesty. As Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas remarked at that time, the bill merely \u201ccodified [President] Joe Biden\u2019s open borders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thus, several explanations arise regarding Harris&#8217;s apparent change of stance. First, she may not have read Lankford&#8217;s troubling border bill and was unaware it mandated Trump&#8217;s wall\u2014this seems plausible given that Democrats treated that legislation merely as a prop; if they genuinely cared about border security they would have acted decisively three years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Second, it&#8217;s possible Harris was aware of the wall requirement but had no qualms about changing her position\u2014a scenario supported by her history of shifting views between 2019 and 2024 on various issues ranging from open borders to gun control during her presidential campaign five years ago before rebranding herself as more centrist with media assistance.<\/p>\n<p>Thirdly, she might believe that party-aligned media will overlook her adoption of Trump&#8217;s ideas without consequence; for instance recently pledging support for his signature &#8220;no tax on tips&#8221; proposal despite an IRS crackdown under Biden&#8217;s administration in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Does she genuinely lack knowledge about Lankford&#8217;s bill? Is she confident in escaping scrutiny from establishment media? Or does she view politics so cynically that appropriating another candidate\u2019s ideas doesn\u2019t faze her? The harsh reality likely involves at least one of these factors but runs deeper still.<\/p>\n<p>In essence, Democrats appear devoid of any coherent program or principles beyond certain controversial stances; thus honesty or consistency holds little significance for them. Their actions are primarily aimed at gaining and consolidating power purely for its own sake\u2014understanding this perspective clarifies everything else<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2332082,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Kamala-Harris-flip-flop.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[39474,20973,32438,35284,36736],"class_list":["post-2332081","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-controversial-issues","tag-flip-flop","tag-kamala-harris","tag-political-betrayal","tag-voter-trust"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Kamala-Harris-flip-flop.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2332081","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2332081"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2332081\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2332082"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2332081"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2332081"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2332081"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
