Surprising it wasn’t titled “how to make crime easier for criminals and leave the border open for murderers and rapists”
Dr. Stefan Weber, an internationally famous “plagiarism hunter,” has discovered that Kamala Harris “plagiarized at least a dozen sections of her criminal justice book, Smart on Crime,” Christopher Rufo reports.
The 2009 work of non-fiction, co-authored with Joan O’C Hamilton was, per Wikipedia, “[f]irst published as Harris (then the San Francisco district attorney) was beginning her 2010 campaign for California Attorney General” and “outlines her vision of how the criminal justice system should function.“
In his summary of findings, Dr. Weber writes, “Kamala Harris copied virtually an entire Wikipedia article into her book without providing attribution to Wikipedia.”
Most damning is that “Harris fabricated a source reference, inventing a nonexistent page number,” he said.

You know who else plagiarized? Biden, and that knocked him out in 1988.
We can begin with a passage in which Harris discusses high school graduation rates. Here, she lifted verbatim language from an uncited AP/NBC News report: pic.twitter.com/pZv5mD3m5t

There’s lots and lots more where that came from, and it matters. I always put it in the blockquote, or, make mention of it is in the regular text, put it in quotes. This is the way you blog, even at a little one like mine
The corporate media will almost certainly either ignore this scandal or attempt to wrist-flick and “fact check” it away as a “Republican-fabricated controversy.” But this is not 2008. The corporate media can no longer bury the truth to protect a Barry Obama from his troubling relationship with a domestic terrorist.
Well, yeah. And how does the NY Times cover this?
Conservative Activist Seizes on Passages From Harris Book
“In a review of the book, The New York Times found that none of the passages in question took the ideas or thoughts of another writer, which is considered the most serious form of plagiarism.”
So, she utterly plagiarized, but, no biggy. The problem is you Conservatives seizing.
She’s following in Joe Biden’s footsteps, because his 1987 — he didn’t even make it to the election year — presidential campaign collapsed after his plagiarism scandal became public.
Big nothing burger. It’s not like she even wrote that book. Politicians notoriously get other people who write for them. Obama didn’t “Dreams of my Father”. Hillary Clinton didn’t write “It takes a village”. Biden wasn’t even writing his own Tweets, a 25 year old woman at the White house did.
At most, this is going to go down as some ghost writer or “Co-author” plagiarized and a sloppy editor let it through. Nothing sticks to The Party candidates.
It is nowhere near as important as what she says on a daily basis:
1. “Donald Trump is not a serious person”, from the person who cannot answer a seriouos question on any substantive issue without cackling.
2. “Trump needs to release his medical records. The American people have a right to know.” This from the woman who personally lied about the health of Joe Biden and covered up for his decline for over 4 years. Made especially sharp by the fact that she would not even be the candidate if that decline had not been pointed out by TRUMP in an unmistakable way in the debate. The same party was shouting about Trump releasing his tax records in the last election. When a Democratic party insider working at the IRS illegally released them they found… Nothing. If you want to know if Trump is in good health, just ask yourself how many men get shot int eh head and play a round of golf the next day.
Until Democrats admit that Joe Biden was too old to be president in 2020 and certainly too senile in 2024, the democrats have no rational basis to point out Trumps age or health. The Democrats are the ones who set the standard to the “Joe Biden” level. Admit you were wrong any lying to everyone, then we can discuss Trumps weaknesses.
Tell us who has really been running the US Government for the past 3 years. Then we can discuss who is a serious person.
Old Donnie, 78, and getting older every day, urged his devotees to vote on Jan 5th! I rarely agree with the rapidly deteriorating (but now sustained by amphetamines) Trump but on this I do: Vote Jan 5th!
That’s what Middle-Class people do.
Did you know Kamala Grew up in a middle-class family?
I still say the best campaign ad ever would be Kamala talking to Joe Biden….you know the old What, huh, what, huh, whose on first routine, with Joe speaking his unidentifiable nonsense and Kamala Cackling and responding with her unidentifiable nonsense.
Seriously, though, Kamala, a college-educated person, needed someone to write the book for her. I doubt she had anything to do with its creation. She simply asked someone to write her a book, skimmed its contents, and voila.
Kamala was a genius published author. I doubt she is even intelligent enough to plagiarize anything.
LOL. Maybe Wikipedia “borrowed” from the Vice President!
Ex-president Trump has “written” 19 books, yet Mr Rufo hasn’t run a plagiarism check on even one!

Big Donnie the Mob Boss…
So Big Donnie the Mob Boss thinks he can order the US Military to sort out his political opponents if the leftists riot post Nov 5. Of course, the dumbass wouldn’t take office until Jan 20 2025. He’s being a tough guy for his brown shirts. He’s calling on his storm troopers to take the streets if he loses, and to take to the streets if he wins and some Dems protest!!
It’s what PUtin would do.
