CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY AUGUST 16, 2024
THIS HAS GOT TO BE ONE OF THE FUNNIEST HEADLINES I HAVE EVER READ. FROM YESTERDAY’S WASHINGTON POST: “HARRIS (MEANING THE VICE PRESIDENT AND DEMOCRAT PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE) HARRIS’ POLICIES HAVE SHIFTED AND ARE STILL TAKING SHAPE.”
IF YOU ARE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, DON’T YOU THINK WITH JUST 80 SOME DAYS UNTIL THE ELECTION YOU WOULD BE FIRM IN YOUR POLICIES. OH, SHE’S FIRM ON ABORTION UNTIL DELIVERY. WE KNOW THAT. SHE’S LESS FIRM ON THE BORDER. AND JUST BECAME FIRM ON NO TAXES ON TIPS, A POSITION SHE STOLE FROM DONALD TRUMP. SHE HAS AN ECONOMIC SPEECH TODAY IN NORTH CAROLINA WHERE TRUMP DELIVERED A SOMEWHAT SHAKY SPEECH ON THE SAME SUBJECT WEDNESDAY. LET’S SEE WHAT SHE BELIEVES TODAY, THOUGH THAT MIGHT CHANGE.
FRACKING? SHE WAS AGAINST IT BEFORE SHE NEEDED VOTES IN PENNSYLVANIA. NOW SHE’S FOR IT. SAME WITH OFFSHORE DRILLING. WHAT ELSE? SHE SUPPORTED MEDICARE FOR ALL, WHICH WOULD PUT IS IN DEEPER DEBT. SHE ADVOCATED DOING AWAY WITH PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE. AND SHE WANTS TO OVERHAUL – MEANING DO AWAY WITH – THE IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS INFORMATION AGENCY – ICE.
THE ONLY THING SHE TRULY BELIEVES IS SHE BELIEVES SHE WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT. IT’S NOT ENOUGH. I’M CAL THOMAS.
