Kamala, the diva of Blair House, Thinks the School Closures are a Laughing Matter
The vice president is currently facing a crisis. No, it’s not trying to restart the careers of millions of women stuck at home assisting their children with the sham that is distance learning. And no, it’s not the tens of thousands of children being trafficked by coyotes over our border, now stuck in facilities best described as petri dishes for the coronavirus.
Instead, Kamala Harris has been forced (brace yourselves here) to live at Blair House temporarily while the Naval Observatory residence of the vice president undergoes routine renovations.
According to a CNN report, Harris has grown “frustrated” about “living out of suitcases” in Blair House, the president’s guest house. Commonly referred to as “the world’s most exclusive hotel,” the notoriously luxurious Blair House has hosted the likes of Queen Elizabeth II and Charles de Gaulle and included in its more than 100 rooms serviced by a full-time staff are a gym and a hair salon. But Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff reportedly “enjoy a more casual, West Coast informality” and are eager to get to the Observatory residence, where the kitchen is reportedly also being upgraded for the former California senator who loves to cook.
A vice president complaining about a residence enough to house a literal queen would be spoiled enough in the best of times. Yet Harris’s descent into diva-dom is even more egregious given her handling, or lack thereof, of the crisis at the southern border and the crisis of (what’s not happening in) the classroom.
President Joe Biden has put his No. 2 in charge of the border business, and as the first female vice president, Harris ought to have a vested interest in getting women back to work and children back in class. But when pressed on both matters, Harris had made it clear she believes these to be laughing matters. Literally.
Last week, Harris simply cackled when asked if she would be visiting the border soon.
And now, when discussing the school closures, Harris again laughs hysterically at all the mothers forced to help their children with distance learning because her allies, the teachers unions, are holding our youth hostage. “We’re not paying them nearly enough,” Harris jokes she thinks parents now believe of the teachers who got a yearlong paid vacation.
Consider, so many children have flooded our border that Biden is now shipping children to a convention center he calls a “decompression center.” Meanwhile, the facilities that should be filled with children, our nation’s schools, remain vacant. The result? Children killing themselves and ending up in the emergency room from mental breakdowns.
I suppose when you have a private jet, multiple multimillion-dollar residences, and a taxpayer-funded staff at your disposal, even inconveniences as minor as spending a few extra weeks at the president’s guest manor feels like a tragedy. What beggars belief is how an immigration crisis and millions of children losing their right to an education don’t feel dire for the diva of Blair House.
