Kamala Harris discussed Christmas shopping and climate change but failed to mention the current crisis in Afghanistan during her major foreign policy speech on Monday.
Harris, addressing a roundtable of business leaders before her speech, warned that climate change and the pandemic have contributed to supply chain issues, The New York Times reported, and suggested parents should consider getting Christmas presents now.
‘The stories that we are now hearing about the caution that if you want to have Christmas toys for your children, it might now be…the time to start buying them, because the delay may be many, many months,’ she said.
‘So across the board, people are experiencing the issue.
‘And, of course, the climate crisis is fueling a lot of this. When we look at the stronger typhoons that have disrupted shipping lanes and sea level rise, which threatens port infrastructure as an example. So these are the many issues that are that are causing these disruptions.’…
Harris, who later today will travel on to Vietnam, declared that the U.S. ‘stands with our allies and our partners’ in the face of threats from China.
The speech sought to cement the U.S. commitment to supporting its allies in an area of growing importance to the Biden administration, which has made countering China’s influence globally a centerpiece of its foreign policy.
But it comes as America’s decades-long focus on the Middle East comes to a messy end with the chaotic withdrawal from Kabul.
As Kamala appeared to dodge the Afghanistan catastrophe during her speech, Adam Schiff, the chair of the House Intelligence Committee, said it was ‘unlikely Joe Biden would be able to evacuate every US citizen and their allies before his August 31 cut-off point.
Speaking outside the US Capitol, Schiff said: ‘I am encouraged to see the numbers of people evacuated, increasing readily to the point where we evacuated 11,000 people in a single day,’ Schiff continued…
Harris underscored this shift, calling the Indo-Pacific ‘critically important to our nation’s security and prosperity.’…
But Harris was careful to emphasize that the U.S. is seeking greater engagement in the Indo-Pacific region not just to counter China, but to advance an ‘optimistic vision that we have for our participation and partnership in the region.’…
She also emphasized the significant U.S. economic ties there, noting that Southeast Asia represents the America’s fourth largest export market…
Harris also met Monday with Singapore President Halimah Yacob and Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong…
After her speech Tuesday, Harris held a roundtable discussion with business leaders on supply chain issues.
Later, she planned to travel to Vietnam, where she will meet with top officials Wednesday…
Secretary of State Antony Blinken also held a number of virtual meetings with Southeast Asian officials earlier this month.
The chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, however, complicated that message of support to the region, raising questions about the U.S. commitment to its allies.
While Biden said last week that an indefinite engagement would have benefited ‘true strategic competitors’ China and Russia, China has seized on the images of violence from the evacuation to slam the U.S. for its engagement there…
But Harris, during a joint news conference with Prime Minister Lee on Monday, said that her presence in the country, combined with the agreements around greater cooperation that the Biden administration has pursued with Indo-Pacific countries, speak ‘volumes in terms of the integrity of the relationships that the United States has around the world on many issues.’…
Biden was in a jovial, relaxed mood as he praised the basketball team, who stood behind him, wearing face masks as he honored them during an event at the White House. The president has been dealing with the Taliban take over of Afghanistan and a revolt by moderate Democrats against his expansive $3.5 trillion budget plan on Capitol Hill.
But he was in a jokey mood with the Seattle Storm, telling them: ”I may need work after this. I’d make a good ball boy.’

Innocent people are dying, our country has been beyond humiliated, and forever changed, and this pathetic, deceived woman, comes across as an incompetent, arrogant woman, who does NOT have a clue what her administration has just LOOSED ON ALL OF US!!! I think many, in this administration DO KNOW what they have unleashed on all of us, but not Harris! She is beyond ignorant! If that seems harsh, just wait, you will see why I see her the way I do! Biden and Harris are both “giddy” and “joking” which is disgusting and completely disrespectful, which truly shows who they are! Makes you wonder, how some people live with themselves, but it goes back to the Word, that says, some are given over to a depraved mind! We are really seeing that right before our eyes!
I pray that the current administration in DC be removed by the powerful hand of the almighty God of the universe.
“The speech sought to cement the U.S. commitment to supporting its allies in an area of growing importance to the Biden administration, which has made countering China’s influence globally a centerpiece of its foreign policy.”
…this statement ,at the end of it-..is a lie. The Biden administration has done nothing to..” counter China’s influence globally”..
And- in fact-.. has done the very opposite, continually – positioning our government to be a puppet weaponized against our citizenry in each and every aspect-..
IFA.. why would you even print such nonsense lies?
We lift up truth and righteousness over our nation. We stand against the lies and half-truths the devil is sending us through our leadership. May we walk in repentance and trust in you. Give us righteous leaders we ask.
I am so exhausted at the lies that this administration continues to vomit out to the world and the citizens of America.
They have no clue that true humility, in light of their ongoing failures, is the first and critical step towards correcting the path we are on. They are steering a ship full speed ahead with no rudder and cannot understand why they can’t stop or turn. The arrogance, pride and indifference in what they are doing is a stench that pollutes every square inch of the atmosphere. They’re still so consumed about looking good and damage control – easy to do when you live in protected bbubble and don’t suffer the real consequences of the failed decisions they make. It’s bright out but they continue to stumble about as if it’s midnight. VP fraud Harris is actually and weakly still trying to sell supply chain issues due to political control induced COVID and climate change??!! These people have no conviction – no heart – no conscience. I’m not saying COVID doesn’t exist but they are selling it in an untruthful way to gain power over the nation. They will not discuss real facts concerning recovery. Supply chain issues are being artificially manipulated for political control. This sort of chronic and habitual lying should have every person (with a grain of discernment) fuming in righteous anger. This administration is “incapable” of telling the truth on almost everything. They are so drunk in the pursuit of power that reality has been completely lost to them.
✓Lord God Almighty – We don’t deserve your help or mercy or You Lord but we desperately need all of it. We need repentance and revival to flow through our nation. Not just once but over and over again. Save Your nation Lord. It was dedicated to You hundreds of years ago and without You Lord and miracles, we will be unable to restore it. For reasons that are sometimes beyond our understanding, You have allowed evil, ungodly leaders to be in charge of this nation. Perhaps it’s part of Your judgement against America – judgement we certainly deserve. But millions are crying out to You Lord. Hear our cry – show us Your mercy. Deliver us from the bondage we have allowed to overtake us through our apathy and sinful actions. Remove from us ungodly officials who refuse to depend on You and raise up and replace them with an army of righteous leadership at all levels of our government, businesses and everyday functions of our lives. We humbly ask for Your forgiveness Lord. Hear our cry Father. Amen.
CN,
Amen, God have mercy on us!
