Kamala's Silence Speaks Volumes

It's been over two weeks since Vice President Kamala Harris, who secured the Democratic nomination without a single primary vote, stepped into the spotlight after President Biden's abrupt exit.

Yet, in all this time, she has not held a single unscripted press conference or interview.

For a candidate, engaging with the press is a critical part of the campaign—an opportunity to go beyond scripted talking points and address real questions. But Harris has avoided any such interactions, sticking exclusively to her teleprompter.

The reason is clear: Harris struggles when she has to think on her feet and address substantial issues. This has been evident throughout her tenure as vice president, where rumors of verbal abuse were common and high staff turnover was a constant problem, largely due to her refusal to prepare adequately for interviews and briefings. Her approach to dealing with challenging questions has been to blame her staff, despite their reported efforts to prepare her.

This unbecoming pattern suggests a serious lack of leadership from an insecure personality who is over-confident in her own abilities - until she’s put on the spot.

The idea of Harris discussing complex issues like the economy or Ukraine is laughable, given her limited focus on topics like international affairs, her failure as the Border Czar, and criminal justice.

Harris's avoidance of the press is not just a tactic; it’s a sign of her inability to handle tough questions. Unlike President Biden’s strategy of staying out of the limelight due to his well-known gaffes, Harris’s silence is about avoiding exposure to her own limitations.

If she can’t face a group of friendly reporters, she definitely cannot effectively negotiate across the table from China, Russia, or North Korea, unless that wretched cackle of hers can drive them into submission.

“Kamalanomics” Worse Than Bidenomics

Monday's market plunge, which sent global stocks into a tailspin amid fresh recession fears, underscores a growing anxiety: is Vice President Kamala Harris's economic vision an improvement over "Bidenomics"? The outlook is grim. Harris has yet to articulate a clear economic strategy, beyond echoing past accolades for Bidenomics—a term the administration wisely discarded as inflation surged.

In her public appearances, Harris has largely confined herself to supportive venues like sorority conventions, where she has avoided detailing any substantive financial agenda. This lack of transparency is alarming. Voters are not only aware but increasingly skeptical of her capabilities. According to a recent Rasmussen Reports survey, a majority of likely voters believe her economic policies will be as detrimental, if not worse, than those of President Joe Biden.

The market's recent volatility is a stark reminder of the fragile state of the global economy. Harris's silence on her economic plan raises serious concerns about her ability to lead in such uncertain times. Her reluctance to engage with broader, more critical audiences further alienates voters who are desperate for concrete solutions to their financial woes.

Harris's approach—or lack thereof—signals a troubling continuity of the very policies that have contributed to the current economic malaise. As inflation continues to erode purchasing power and market confidence wanes, the absence of a coherent economic vision from the Vice President is not just a political misstep; it's a potential catastrophe.

"Kamalanomics," if it exists at all, appears to be an extension of failed policies rather than a fresh start. In a time of economic peril, the country cannot afford leadership that is either invisible or ineffective.

Voters and markets are sending a clear message: they expect much more, and they expect much better.

Kamalanomics is not the path to America First Prosperity.

Winning

Your Kansas Republican Party has made great strides in 2023 and 2024 in the categories where it matters most—winning. There are other critical measurable metrics where success is also quantifiable, however in the final analysis winning is the culmination of many smaller successes and daily disciplines which make winning possible. Winning is the ultimate metric of leadership success, and we’ve been a winning streak!

In fundraising, we’ve enjoyed great success, bringing in nearly $300,000 in July 2024 alone.

Your KSGOP hosted about 150 people in Milwaukee in mid-July for the RNC National Presidential Nominating Convention. While in Milwaukee, we had face-to-face time with Donald Trump, Jr., Ted Nugent, the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), former US Ambassador to Germany, Rick Grenell, former United States Congressman, CIA Director, US Secretary of State, and fellow Kansan, Mike Pompeo, and so many other amazing people.

While there we also got the work done of nominating Donald Trump and JD Vance as our Republican President/VP candidates. While in the Fiserv Forum, the KSGOP also worked diligently to get alternate delegates and guests some time on the convention floor to soak it all in and get some treasured pictures! A huge thank you to those Delegates who graciously gave up their floor passes for a while to let others have that experience.

The party also put in place the Numinar Data Management System and in conjunction with the RNC Data Trust have made the most powerful campaign data management tool in the industry available to all Republican candidates and campaigns FREE of charge. This tool is not free to the KSGOP but we have made it available to our Republican team for free. Over 200 candidates and campaigns were trained this year by Dakotah Parshall, KSGOP Executive Director, who is amazing, and some of those campaigns have 50+ sub-accounts set up. The Numinar system is broadly loved and acclaimed and I am proud to have brought this winning tool to Kansas Republicans.

These, and so many other smaller, but not less important, things have also been done to streamline the party and to make winning all that much easier in November.

And HUGE WINNING is coming!

I wanted to be the KSGOP Chairman for one reason, and you wanted me here for that very same reason: just WIN baby.

And winning is all we’ve done.

Onward. Let’s roll.

KSGOP Offers Huge Saving to Republican Candidates in General Elections

With the Republican Primary Elections now behind us, your KSGOP will make our not-for-profit postage mailing rate available to Republican candidates and their election teams.

Those who took advantage of this tool in the primary election saved over a combined $100,000 which remains in their accounts to be used against their Democrat opponents!

Candidates and campaign team members must keep a few facts in mind when using this offer:

1. Mailers may be positive or negative BUT shall not specifically or vaguely name or use the likeness of any other person except their opponent or other prominent public figure.

2. All mailers will be reviewed for content. Approvals will be moved forward and denials I’ll be returned to be reworked. If a mailer is denied, the KSGOP team will be happy to listen to an argument however a final decision will be final.

3. No mail will be sent until the KSGOP has received payment.

Candidates should plan on a 15-working day turn around of mailing a check to KSGOP.

Candidates should plan on a 3-working day turn around if paying via ACH or wire.

KSGOP has no control over the speed, reliability, or dependability of the USPS, so please plan appropriately.

4. All mailings using the KSGOP indicia shall contain the appropriate KSGOP disclaimer for state or federal races.

5. Pricing per piece of mail will likely increase as we get closer to election day and as the work load increases, although the total price per piece will always be less than first class postage.

Please contact Dakotah Parshall at [email protected] to make arrangements for blocking KSGOP workflow space by paying for bulk mailers in advance.

KSGOP Support for Kansas Republicans in 2024

With the 2024 primary election now past, I would like to take a moment to let you know about what the KSGOP is offering to our Republican candidates and volunteers, from precinct committee persons to US Congress.

First is our data and volunteer platform, Numinar.

Campaigns around Kansas are knocking doors, sending text messages, making calls, polling, and accessing voter data through this innovative software. If you’re a data junky like myself, the AI mapping of poll results across your whole dataset is one of the coolest ways I’ve seen AI used in politics. For example, I can ask 300 people in Miami County how they feel about lowering property taxes, and then Numinar can predict how other voters in Miami County will feel about lowering property taxes.

After working with various data platforms in the campaign realm, Numinar is by far the best I’ve ever used. Don’t just take my word for it, CampaignTech awarded Numinar Best Software in 2023.

The best part for candidates and volunteer across Kansas is that the KSGOP offers Numinar to all candidates and volunteers for free, if you need help getting started, reach out to me at [email protected].

As Executive Director, I’m happy to travel the state, talk about campaigns and elections, and offer trainings. If your group would like me to come speak, let me know. I have worked on various campaigns through the years and am happy to help elect Republicans in your area.

KSGOP is also offering Non-Profit Mail to Republicans across Kansas. This allows campaigns to use our indicia – saving big money on postage. KSGOP has utilized this lower mail rate and text messaging, door knocking, and calling through Numinar to help Republicans win, leading to nearly 80% of Republicans winning in the last local election. While those numbers are great, we need your help to make them even better!

Please sign up to volunteer at https://www.kansas.gop/take-action or make a small donation today so that we can send texts and mailers across Kansas. After all, you are the reason we are able to win elections – the KSGOP grassroots is the second to none!

If you ever have any questions, please do not hesitate to call, text, or email!

It’s an honor to serve as your KSGOP Executive Director,

Dakotah Parshall
