The Democrats’ race to the left continues, as Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren introduce “racial equity” plans.
Ms. Warren and Senator Kamala Harris of California both used the occasion — the annual culture and music festival sponsored by Essence magazine, which caters to black women — to introduce major new proposals intended to address racial disparities, including in wealth and homeownership.
***
Ms. Harris announced a plan aimed at reducing the racial gap in homeownership, including $100 billion to help black families and individuals buy homes in historically redlined communities, where banks systematically denied them loans.

This is one suicide with which I'd be happy to personally assist.

We should not make too much of this surface squabbling between the socialists and the socialists. Away from the cameras they are 100% united in their unholy quest to Tear America Down Again (TADA). One can imagine the only differences are concerning which illegal tactics and criminal frauds are deemed most suitable for 2020...

Pass a Federal "Balanced Budget" Amendment, like we have in Texas, and watch all that leftist pandering disappear.

I'm not so sure this is about "free stuff" anymore.
Nowadays, I really think the millennials and gen Xers out there see themselves as social justice warriors promoting OneEqualWorld where all rank and file proletariats are united in their global effort to save the planet.

Which race does Warren favor, her real one or the one she used to get into Harvard? How about Kamala, is she promising special favors to Jamaicans? Most mortgage banks today don't even see their applicants, they look at their credit history, income, etc. and decide on the chances of them repaying the loan. If you are the typical black family, i.e. a mother and six children by six different fathers, your chances don't look too promising for getting into an expensive neighborhood and it certainly doesn't have anything to do with your color but everything to do with the time you spend working and the time you spend entertaining men while on your back.

Each politician, seeking to out-bribe the other politician, trying to pay voters for their votes.

My very astute son points out that to the leftist voter, no amount of ridiculous pandering is discernable as impossible or thought as too much. The people he has to work with have no idea where the money comes from. They hear something from any leftist, they immediately start repeating it as a good thing. Destroy the military? That is a good thing. Pay for people's houses based on the color of their skin? That's a good thing. Pay off everyone's student loan (who took the correct leftist courses)? That's a good thing. He askes them, "But, where does the money come from to pay for all that?" Their only reply is usually no answer, just invectives, and anger- "You racist!" is their favorite. He just laughs at them. But, they are serious.

It's more the case of the democrats pushing the entire country into suicide. This is so they can proclaim that the republic and all it stood for particularly individual liberty and self governance has failed and that the only rational solution is to turn to them, our big socialist government saviors.
Everything ever wrong with our great nation is directly attributable to our failures to adhere to our founding documents and principles.

And some one has the audacity to wonder why we are progressively deeper in debt every year regardless of which incompetent party is supposedly in charge. We are currently guaranteeing our own extinction in the not too distant future.

These two Democrats would do well to search out the details of the 42nd president's landmark bill: the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act. Just steal that document and re-word it, make it your own. It will help with your suicide missions.

John, you couldn't be more wrong about the suicide of the Marxists (Democrats) if you beat yourself with a Wrong Stick. How many times in the past 20 years have conservative writers been predicting the suicide or end of the Marxist Party? And yet, all they had to do was double down and their attempted suicide has ALWAYS been prevented. They get more and more Marxist, anti-Constitution, and the Marxists implement their fidiotic, nation destructing policies while the GOP watches like cows watching a passing train at best OR the GOP bravely falls down, rolls over and soils itself with furrowed brows with maybe a Gowdy fret-and-strut-signifying-nothing speech. Can you say Obamacare? Can you say a REWARDED illegal coup to remove a duly elected president? Plus, the Marxists have their propaganda wing (for Rio Lindans that would be the media, education and entertainment) to support their ideas. So, no. You got it wrong, WAY wrong. These people like Harris WILL implement this free home loan scam just like Clinton, Constitution be damned WITH the feckless GOP helping. Democrats committing suicide? Pet your purple unicorn for me.

Chances are the leftist and liberal Democrats, and especially whoever is their eventual nominee for President turns out to be, will have what amounts to a fraudulent political epiphany and will try to appear more conservative and reasonable on most political issues than President Trump during the run up to the general election. Then if the Democrat candidate is successful in fooling enough Americans to get elected, will almost immediately revert back to their socialist oriented political selves.

I heard what Ms. Essence Harris want's to do with other people's money but what did Warren propose? A tipi for each Indian in the tribe? This pandering by the left is really ridiculous but it's what's in their heads when they know none of them has a snowball's chance in hell of being president.

Kamala Sutra's proposal would keep blacks confined to the ghetto (and the Democrat plantation) forever.
Was that her intent?.

The ideal cure for inequality - - -
All hiring must be done by a random lottery system.
The names of every American should be written on paper slips - - and placed in a giant hat. Then - - whether employers are looking for a welder, a file clerk, an art director, a warehouse manager, or a ballerina - - they simply reach into the hat and pull out a random name. That's who gets hired - - no questions asked. AND - - every job must pay EXACTLY the same!
That's the only path to true equality and social justice. Do it now!

Okay folks . . . here is my proposal: Apply to the healthcare of the United States Senate the principles Warren and Harris are promoting with everything else. In other words, regardless of the expertise and reputation of the doctors and nurses who care for Senators, only doctors who meet the racial/socioeconomic/gender/ethnicity/etc. requirements Warren and Harris are suggesting can treat or operate on U.S. Senators. Not necessarily the best. Not necessarily the brightest. Not necessarily the most qualified. Only those who meet the quota requirements!
A bit extreme? Wouldn't you prefer to work and live in buildings built by the most qualified persons? Wouldn't you prefer to drive on roads that are built by the most qualified persons? Do you want just anyone processing the food you buy in the grocery store, regardless of their hygiene?
Race/gender/ethnicity/etc. have nothing to do with being qualified or hygienic. And that's the point.
But if Warren and Harris are gonna force this bull stool on others, make them experience it at the doctor's office and in the hospital.

Isn't this the exact same ideology that got us into the last recession? Pushing folks, any folks, into housing they could not afford?
