The Cackler and the Clown

Harris has a unique style of dumbing down her answers to the point they become more confusing to the general public and often throwing in an awkward laugh. Other times, Harris skirts a question by defining the topic under discussion in plain terms but offering no clear answer, leaving audiences and hosts bewildered when she goes into her signature 'word salad' style that often convolutes her answers even more.

Let’s think about it for a moment. Why does she do this and why all the cackling laughter?

Laughing at questions can sometimes be associated with deception, but it is not a definitive indicator. People may laugh for various reasons, including nervousness, discomfort, or as a social response. In some contexts, laughter can serve to diffuse tension or indicate that the person finds the question absurd or unexpected.

Other signs of deception might include inconsistent answers, avoidance of eye contact, or changes in body language. To assess whether laughter is a sign of deception, it's best to look at the overall situation and the person's typical reactions rather than relying solely on laughter as an indicator.

Laughter during an encounter with a person is anxiety release. This should be associated equally with deception. A nervous person will look for any excuse to laugh to relieve anxiety. considering the timing and context of the behavior, laughter or attempted humor may become a meaningful symptom of deception. In the context of an interview or questioning, inappropriate laughter or levity can be associated with a deceptive person.

A newer research also suggests that laughter is a way to reduce fear, anxiety, or stress. They theorize that laughter can help us turn off a negative reaction to uncomfortable situations or things that we encounter and consider to be illogical.

I can’t list all of the cringeworthy times cackling Kamala Harris has attempted to explain things with her signature world salad gibberish thus providing compelling evidence of intentional deceit but let’s just consider some of Harris’ moments of her cackling laughter bewildering statements:

As a politician from California, Harris takes pride in being on the cusp of public policy and technology but tended to get tangled up when talking about the issues by trying to explain how they worked.

Harris also spoke about technology when she seized the mantle of 'Artificial Intelligence Czar' and hosted an event at the Executive Office Building about it.

'I think the first part of this issue that should be articulated is AI is kind of a fancy thing,' Harris said. 'First of all, it's two letters. It means artificial intelligence, but ultimately what it is, is it's about machine learning.'
In September 2010, then-district attorney of San Francisco Harris tried to explain what cloud computing was.

'It's on your laptop, and it's then therefore up here in this cloud, that exists above us, right? It's no longer in a physical place,' she said.
In February 2022, Harris felt it necessary to spend time reminding her audience what people use the internet for, including work, school, and entertainment.
In February 2023, Harris delivered a speech at a Congressional Space Medal of Honor ceremony, explaining to NASA astronauts about what it was like to blast off into space on a rocket.

'Bob and Doug returned to the Kennedy Space Center. They suited up. They waved to their families, and they rode an elevator up nearly 20 stories,' she began. 'They strapped in to their seats and waited as the tanks beneath filled with tens of thousands of gallons of fuel. And then they launched.'

'Yeah, they did,' Harris continued laughing awkwardly as the audience did not react.
In November 2021, Harris was asked about what the Biden-Harris administration would do to fight inflation.

'Let's start with this,' Harris replied. 'Prices have gone up, and families and individuals are dealing with the realities of — that bread costs more, that gas costs more.'

She continued, 'and we have to understand what that means. That's about the cost of living going up. That's about having to stress and stretch limited resources.'
Harris also explained how electricity works during an event in California.

'Think about it. Every time you turn on a light, or charge a laptop, or plug in your air conditioner, or put leftovers on the fridge, you rely on the power delivered by our nation's network of transmission lines,' she said.
During a discussion on infrastructure, Harris tried to further simplify the term, telling her audience that it was about transportation and getting places.

'You need to get to go and need to be able to get where you need to go to do the work and get home,' she explained.
Harris tried to simplify Russia's war in Ukraine during an interview, where she was asked to explain why it was happening in 'laymen's terms.'

Harris replied, 'So, Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So, basically, that's wrong.'

And then there is good, old Tim Walz. Remember going to the circus when you were younger, and the clowns would come out. They were full of energy bouncing from one person to another. They were always waving their hands and pointing to different people in the crowd making them think they were the special one. Well, this reminds me of Tim Walz. Also remember that the clowns would have “tricks up their sleeves” to surprise the crowd. Much like the clowns, Walz tries to trick and deceive people with his lies.

Tim Walz has told numerous lies throughout his political career. Why? I am not sure except to bolster himself to be something that he’s not.

Yet Walz stands accused of purveying a string of lies, errors, and prevarications stretching back to his earliest days in politics, fibbing about everything from his military service to whether he won an obscure award from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce as a 29-year-old man. Let’s just name a few of Tim’s biggest lies:

Take his 1995 arrest for drunken and reckless driving. Walz was clocked at 96 mph in a 55-mph zone in Nebraska. He was pulled over by a state trooper, who, upon smelling alcohol, asked Walz to take a field sobriety test, which he failed. Walz then submitted to a hospital for a blood test, which revealed his blood alcohol level to be 0.128, well above the state’s legal limit. Although this information was recorded in police records, during Walz’s 2006 congressional campaign, the press was told that he hadn’t been drinking, that he drove himself to the police station and that the reason he failed his field sobriety test was because of a misunderstanding related to hearing loss from his time in the National Guard artillery unit. In 2018, when Walz was running for governor of Minnesota, he came clean and admitted to drinking and driving
Walz said in 2018, “We can make sure those weapons of war, that I carried in war, is the only place where those weapons are at.” Actually, he didn’t see combat. Walz was stationed in Norway and, when a different unit deployed to Afghanistan, he took its place in Vicenza, Italy. Yet over the years, he has implied he faced combat during the War on Terror, as well as allowing others to repeat the claim without correction.
Walz served 24 years in the National Guard, an honorable action worthy of praise in its own right. But Walz has repeatedly referred to his rank as “retired command sergeant major,” including in the official Walz-Harris campaign biography. Yet Walz actually retired as a master sergeant, because he failed to complete required coursework at the U.S. Sergeants Major Academy when he literally abandoned his unit when we were about to be deployed to Iraq in 2005 to run for U.S. Congress. He’s a coward and should be treated as such.
When Walz ran for the House of Representatives in 2006, his official campaign biography stated that in 1993, he “was named the Outstanding Young Nebraskan by the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce for his service in the education, military, and small business communities.” Yet he never won any such award.
For Tim Walz, in vitro fertilization (IVF) is a deeply personal issue—or at least he made it seem that way. In several recent interviews, he implied or outright suggested that his own two children were conceived using IVF. One problem: It's not true. Walz's children were conceived using intrauterine insemination (IUI), not IVF.
Walz would have you believe that he was the head coach of a state championship football team. Actually, he joined the team’s coaching staff as its defensive coordinator and linebackers coach. He never was the head coach.
As recently as 2011, Tim Walz claimed in official biographies for his campaign and congressional office that he was on the verge of completing a doctorate in education. It has been confirmed that Walz attended Saint Mary's from 2001-2004 in their doctorate level Ed.D. program but never completed the degree program. But nonetheless he claimed through 2011 that he was an active student and was nearly finished with his doctorate a decade later.

These claims, like so many others Walz has made about his biography over his political career, was at best a stretch and at worst a lie, the same sort of résumé padding characteristic of other fibs and misrepresentations Walz has made throughout his political career.

So, what does this all mean? Neither Harris or Walz are a great leaders and they will not become the leaders we need by being voted into the role of President and Vice President. Harris and Walz are very deceitful and cannot be trusted. When the chips are down or they are entangled in a stressful or extreme circumstances, neither one is up to the task, and both will cower away abdicating their responsibilities to others. I for one will not put my faith and way of life in the hope of Harris and Walz living up to the duties and obligations required to hold the offices of the two most powerful people in the World.
