So....IF Elected.....Harris will_______.

She is the sitting VP.
Biden is missing (as in not active) as POTUS.

Why isn't she doing anything about what she is campaigning on while as the sitting VP?

Team Trump needs to be exploiting this to the max.

Agreed, however it’s being hit on constantly in various non mainstream media outlets; though Trump is exploiting the alternative media options very well.

There is no such thing as "price gouging." It is literally a made-up concept by marxists and you would do well to extirpate it from your vocabulary. Left free to do its thing, the market will bring prices to a balance point between supply and demand.

Thank you! I appreciate your critique. Not many people believe in a hands-off economic policy. I actually lean harder and want the government to make entitlements elective. I know I will never receive social security. Let me keep at least a portion of my salary to invest as I see fit. The S&P has historically had a ROI that outpaces SS.

The problem is that Trump still needs to use mainstream media, which is inherently pro-Democrat. The reason being the main voting block are boomers or gen-x. Alternative media is primarily consumed by younger people, and they are far less likely to vote.

I only watch MSM for comedic effect. I use alternative media for more diverse opinions.

I thought that she came into office after Mugabe was already in power?

Didn’t Jimmy Carter send Andrew Young as a mediator between Ian Smith’s government and the “freedom fighters”?

Both countries were playing virtue politics at the time. Thatcher (UK) as the leader of the Commonwealth were sinking the colonies left right and centre in the name political correctness. The USA was doing the same.

A thriving country thrown onto the pyre of political correctness that led to the current situation of it being just another communist country with the begging bowl extended. Not to mention the black population 1000000 times worse off. Carter and Thatcher, along with their minions can go suck a fart.

I’m still confused, by the time Thatcher came into power wasn’t the bush war over? If so, what did she do to Rhodesia? Don’t get me wrong, you were royally screwed over by the Brits, I just don’t see how thatcher could have had anything to do with it.

Thatcher came into power mid 1979 and the Lancaster House agreement was signed in December 1979. It was her government that oversaw the agreements and the details therein. Furthermore, she was the leader of the Conservative party from the mid 1970's (Leader of the opposition). She ran the agreements for 6 months and had the power either support Rhodesia or betray it. She chose the latter. Much like the entire western world. Popularity and expedience over loyalty and an ally.

The majority of the Rhodesians held dual nationality (UK / Rho) and thousands fought in WW2 on the side of Britain, including Ian Smith who was an RAF Spitfire Ace.

An interesting anecdote between the Reagan and Thatcher period was the head butting they did regarding the Falklands War and US Sanctions on apartheid era South Africa. Reagan was pissed about the Thatcher govt carrying out the Falklands War against his administrations wishes, and Thatcher was pissed about US sanctions policy toward RSA being slow.

Just don't ask a Rhodesian about Thatcher!

Or a British miner......

I seem to recall revalations that that at that time GCHQ bugged the Rhodesian delgates and passed the information onto to Mugage's delegates putting them a step ahead in the negotiations.
