Kamala Harris’ performance exposes danger of identity politics



Poll numbers not because of racism, it's because she's not seen as competent or qualified

Former President Barack Obama’s closing argument to voters in Virginia last month was to ignore the phony outrage over the “trumped-up culture war.” Fortunately, Virginians ignored him instead. Radical societal transformation through social engineering is a leading goal of the far Left. Cultural Marxism requires dramatic shifts in societal norms to divide and shift power to institutions run by elites.

One of the components of this “woke revolution” is embedding the philosophy of intersectionality into all aspects of American life. Sometimes commonly referred to as identity politics, it is much more insidious.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ historically low poll numbers demonstrate a rejection of this dangerous philosophy and its incompatibility with American life.

The term intersectionality was conceptualized by leading critical race theory expert Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw in the late eighties. For the uninitiated, intersectionality breaks individuals and society down by factors of advantage and disadvantage, including gender, sex, race, class, sexuality, religion, disability, physical appearance, and even height. Yes, height. Value is placed on having one or more disadvantages to create a hierarchy of victimhood or oppression.

For the woke in control of Washington, Big Tech and the education complex, we’re not all Americans. We’re not even men and women. We are a laundry list of classifications that determine our value.

There is no national or even group unity with an adherence to intersectional philosophy. Groups are divided against each other, often multiple times, so the larger cohort’s power is diluted. Historical affinity groups are even pitted against each other, causing resentment and disconnection. For those who ascribe to the philosophy, the world is stovepipes of the oppressed. For the rest of us, it is intended to breed contempt.

After all, anyone can be a victim - unless you’re a straight, white, Christian, middle-class male with a steady job. Government programs, financial assistance and legal preferences are extended to an increasing number of aggrieved groups – who are expected to then vote to sustain the far Left’s agenda.

Jimmy Kimmel and the drones in the left-wing media say Ms. Harris’ poll numbers are due to racism and sexism. The folks in the West Wing, who seem to be dealing with a “clean-up on aisle two” scenario almost daily at this point, know the truth.

Here’s the good news. The Biden administration demonstrates the risks of intersectionality, and Americans are starting to wake up to the dangerous ploy that it is. Ms. Harris isn’t unpopular because she’s a Jamaican-Indian woman. She’s unpopular because she’s not seen as competent or qualified.

People are smart enough to know she got her job because she checked the right identity boxes. They are uneasy knowing she is a heartbeat away from the Presidency.

Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s handling of the supply chain crisis has also drawn criticism, but we’re supposed to ignore it because he’s a married gay man with twin babies. He, too, isn’t qualified to lead his agency, as evidenced by the President’s appointment of Mitch Landrieu to oversee the execution of...

What is Monkeypox virus? Maryland infection is second in US of 2021

The highly contagious disease Monkeypox — a viral cousin of Smallpox — was reported in Maryland this week, marking the second US case in recent months.

The infected person, who recently traveled to Nigeria, had mild symptoms and was recovering in isolation, according to the Maryland Department of Health.

Here’s what you need to know about the potentially fatal illness:
What is Monkeypox?

The disease is endemic to central and western Africa, and was first discovered in lab monkeys in 1958. It’s in the same family as the Smallpox virus, variola, with milder symptoms and a lower fatality rate, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
What are Monkeypox symptoms?

Symptoms include a fever, headache and achy muscles followed by a spotty rash, according to the CDC. The rash generally emerges on the face, spreads to other body parts then fills with fluid before scabbing over and falling off.

In total, the illness generally lasts between two and four weeks.
How does Monkeypox spread?

The virus is believed to be passed through respiratory droplets and face-to-face contact between people. By and large, it is transferred to people through wild animals such as rodents and primates, according to the World Health Organization.

In some cases, animals can also transfer it to people through scratches, bites or the handling of raw meat.

In the most recent Maryland case, health officials said there is little chance the virus would spread. “No special precautions are recommended at this time for the general public,” the Maryland health authorities said.

How does Monkeypox compare to smallpox?

The disease, which is most prevalent in tropical parts of West Africa, has a total fatality rate of...
