Editor’s Note: Last week was all about 100 days of President Donald Trump. But what if he lost on November 5, 2024? We spent the week thinking about this Bizarro World alternate universe.
—
Just over one hundred days ago, President Kamala Harris placed her hand on a signed copy of Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s memoir and took the Oath of Office.
It’s been a tumultuous few months since America’s first black-Indian-female president moved her power suits and boxes of unsold “I’m Speaking” t-shirts into the Oval Office. The Daily Wire has done its best to keep up with the firehose of news coming out of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and while we appreciate you joining us on this journey, we understand if you’ve had a hard time keeping up.
So, to mark this milestone of the Harris administration, let’s take stock of where we are.
The Harris-Walz administration has some pretty major problems, both at home and abroad. But you wouldn’t know based on the smiling faces at the White House Easter Egg Roll, which this year was dually billed as the Transgender Day of Visibility Parade.
First Gentleman Doug Emhoff was all smiles dancing to Katy Perry. In lieu of a traditional Easter bunny, children posed with Emhoff’s daughter, Ella, who donned bunny ears and dyed her armpit hair festive pastels for the occasion. Second Lady Gwen Walz was set to hold court at the Planned Parenthood Storybook Corner, but her delivery of “Pat The Bunny” was reportedly so disconcerting that most children fled in tears.
Not present at the event was Harris’s predecessor, Joe Biden, who you’ll remember was granted a full and unconditional pardon from Harris just hours after being sworn in. Harris also pardoned Hunter Biden, Dr. Anthony Fauci, General Mark Milley, and the members of the House January 6 Committee. All the pardons date back to 2014, an unprecedented sweep that had even some of Harris’s allies shocked. Legal experts say the only thing more shocking would have been for Biden to issue the pardons himself on his last day in office.
From there, it was off to the races. A group of red state attorneys general challenged Biden’s 11th-hour executive order declaring the Equal Rights Amendment “the law of the land.” The case made its way to the Supreme Court, where Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined the liberals in a surprise 5-4 ruling, which held that public assertions of gender binaries were a violation of federal law.
Despite an almost complete lack of judicial challenges to her executive orders, President Harris’s agenda has not moved the needle on most of the issues facing Americans today. Nowhere is this clearer than the economy, where the Harris administration’s efforts to pull the country out of Biden’s economic mess have been hampered by her refusal to admit her predecessor’s mistakes or in any way deviate from his playbook.
Rather than cut taxes or play hardball with American trading partners, Harris has taken to giving pep talks. The latest, from an address marking her 100th day in office, shows that she’s not making much use of the White House speechwriting staff.
“Who saw that video from a couple weeks ago, the one of the elephants at the San Diego Zoo during the earthquake?” Harris asked the crowd at Emerge, a gala dedicated to honoring Democratic women. “Here those elephants were, and as soon as they felt the earth shaking beneath their feet, they got in a circle and stood next to each other to protect the most vulnerable. Think about it. What a powerful metaphor.”
An unedited video of the speech posted by The Daily Wire was removed from Facebook, which has doubled down on censorship since Harris won the election. The newly formed Hate Speech Commission, co-chaired by Al Sharpton and Robin DiAngelo, said criticizing Harris’s speech was “bigoted.”
Harris’s commitment to “the most vulnerable” doesn’t seem to extend to the countless Americans murdered by illegal aliens, as illegal border crossings continue to beat previous records. Some 480,000 illegals have entered the country over the past 100 days. Like Biden did for Harris when she was vice president, Harris anointed Vice President Walz her border czar. Walz has done little to strengthen the border or keep criminal aliens from entering our country. Instead, the vice president spends most of his time wining and dining transgender athletes at White House ceremonies.
Things don’t look much better abroad. Hamas has not released a single hostage, and the bloody stalemate in Gaza seems destined to drag on as Harris and Secretary of State Pete Buttigieg issue nothing stronger than warnings for both sides to abide by international law.
Iran-backed Houthi terrorists continue their assaults on American and European ships, and Tehran, emboldened by its progress on developing a nuclear weapon, is becoming more and more brazen about funding the terrorists.
And Russia’s attacks on Ukraine continue apace, with Kyiv showing no signs that the latest $10 billion in American aid is doing much to win the war. Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky — whose rude performance in a February Oval Office meeting was met with further groveling from Harris and Walz — seems undeterred in his demands. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s propaganda machine has ceaselessly mocked Harris and Walz for their weakness on the world stage.
It’s unclear what will come from the next 100 days. Health and Human Services Secretary Vivek Murthy seems hellbent on following his tobacco ban by making red meat illegal, and Attorney General Cory Booker will almost certainly hold another press conference where he compares library fines to segregation. For our sake, let’s hope Secretary of State Buttigieg doesn’t have another gaffe like he had in Riyadh.
Press Secretary Harry Sisson did not respond to a request for comment.
To buoy their spirits, Republicans have jumped the gun on 2028 speculation. Senator JD Vance, resettling in the upper chamber, has demurred whenever approached about a potential campaign. And while former president Donald Trump has stoked 2028 speculation on Truth Social, it remains to be seen whether he’ll mount a third campaign.
As of this writing, Trump was last seen returning to Mar-A-Lago after a round of golf. Video shows the former president shaking hands and posing for pictures with guests, occasionally turning to the crowd to ask: “Miss me yet?”
