Kamala Harris graduated from Hastings college of law. The law school is ranked 82nd out of 196 law schools. She took her bar exam and failed, she failed the exam, she never had any of her business, never had her own employees, ever. In 2017 to 2021. She served in the California Senate, during those four years she worked on 164 pieces of legislation, not one of them ever became the law, her job approval was 8%. What makes it worse is that she is a liberal governing in a liberal State and she was still zero for 164, so, during four years she accomplished nothing. As Vice President she has a record of the lowest approval rating ever in the history of this country 28%. VOTE ❤ VOTE TRUMP 🇺🇸

John, please consider why the UN was created by the U.S....??? The UN was not created because we love the "freeloaders". It was created to give U.S. and four other countries that have "Veto Power" to control the rest of the world. This means the U.S., Russia, China, France, and England have the Vito Power to reject anything they don't like, and the rest of the world has no choice but to accept it. It is like participating in a game that if we score, it is good. But if other countries score, we can say it is 'No Good".!!! You can see why the UN has no respect and no power. In short, please remember that other countries you call "freeloaders" did not ask us to create UN. We created the UN, so along with four other countries, we can control the rest of the world.
