Kamala Harris

 

Into The West

And all will turn
To silver glass
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the West

JD Vance is a LOTR fan?

One of the most disturbing images that came out of the Republican National convention was JD Vance in Gandalf’s’ hat blowing smoke rings like a hobbit.  This was an illustration in a story supposedly because JD Vance is a Lord of The Rings, LOTR, fan.  Challenge accepted, fan boy to fan boy.  Sir, I have read LOTR many times and you, sir, are no Gandalf or Frodo.  If you appear to be anyone it is Denethor the fallen Steward of Gondor; Saruman of Many Colors, Grima Wormtongue, or any of the anti-heroes who were deceived into thinking that they alone could fix things.  Time that the voters do a little Scouring of the Shire ourselves.

My favorite characters in the LOTR embody Truth (Treebeard), Justice (Samwise Gamgee) and the American Way of inclusion (the shieldmaiden Eowyn).  In fact if there is an embodiment of a LOTR character in the 2024 presidential campaign my vote is for Kamala Harris.  When the old King of Rohan,  Theoden, is struck down by the Lord of the Nazguls in battle, she heroically defends him in her guise as a simple soldier.  When the Lord of the Nazgul says that “No man can kill him” and is about to choke her, she takes off her helmet and reveals that “she is no man” as she slays him.  https://youtu.be/8Q_HM5EMX6E?si=I4IehTWOs8Xd1Tk8

LFG Kamala.
