Harris, who grew up in Oakland, California, and is a daughter of parents from Jamaica and India, is one of the earliest high – profile Democrats to join what is expected to be a crowded field.

The first term senator and former California attorney general will be the first woman to hold the presidency and the second African American if she succeeds.

    One thing that people tend to forget is that candidates are ‘owned.’ It takes a lot of money to finance a campaign for a candidate and get the public to buy in on that person. In the end, all the candidate is is a puppet for the controllers who put them there. They are beholden to the controllers or financiers, not the public. The public is led to think that they put so-in-so in office. To an extent they helped and to an extent they were manipulated. I am talking about top level politicians. Kamala Harris has been on the political scene for at least 15 +years and she has the looks, personality and intelligence as well as compliance to the ones financing her to run the race. But don’t count on the results being in the favor of the general public. That isn’t the way it works and you should be able to see that by the acts of Mr. Skerritt. If you want to see a video portraying the way things work in DC try the documentary ‘The Swamp’ on Youtube.

      When is Trump going to get the pesos and work order from Mexico? He said at least 500 times that Mexico is going to build his vanity wall.

    Let us not forget we had Obama for 8 years.I. dare anyone name one thing he did to alleviate the plights of blacks in the U.S.I challenge anyone,name one thing.The time and efforts he put campaigning to see the highest court legalized same sex marriage and to protect women’s right to slaughter babies in the womb If half of it was to help blacks.They would be OK like O.J

    The conspirators have already started the birther nonsense they did on Obama. The birther movement is non other than a dog whistle saying no non-white person should occupy the “Whites only” ” White House”. The bigots are going to be out in full force on the bigot TV station in Washington.

    Nobody cares about where she grew up or what her name means.

    More importantly she supports the LGBT agenda which putting a huge blemish on western civilization. These people need to go.

    But at any rate she doesn’t stand a chance against Trump especially after he gets the wall built :D

    Admin she did not only grew up in Oakland California near San Francisco; she was born there! Only her father is a Jamaican! 
     

    Kamala Harris was born on October 20, 1964, in Oakland, California, to a Tamil Indian mother and a Jamaican father. Her mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris, was a breast cancer scientist who immigrated to the United States from Madras (now Chennai) in 1960.

     Her father, Donald Harris, is a Stanford University economics professor who emigrated from Jamaica in 1961 for graduate study in economics at University of California, Berkeley.

    Her name, Kamala, comes from the Sanskrit word for the lotus flower. Her family lived in Berkeley, California, where both of her parents attended graduate school.

     She was close to her maternal grandfather, P. V. Gopalan, an Indian diplomat. As a child, she frequently visited her extended family in the Besant Nagar neighborhood of Chennai, Tamil Nadu.[8] Harris grew up going to both a black Baptist church and…

        You see my friend you are a Dominican the same as I: But our people are the most disgusting ignorant people on the face of the planet.

        The majority believe in rumors; innuendos and any thing false! True information matters nothing to them, and that is why Dominican remains the poorest, most backward place on the planet! Let me show you the stupidity of what I shall describe a nobody! 

        “Nobody cares about where she grew up or what her name means.

        More importantly she supports the LGBT agenda which putting a huge blemish on western civilization. These people need to go.”

        There is no limit to the stupidity of this thing “Sense out of nonsense.” Whoever you are; am both college/university educated!

        The person who wrote that does not have a name; in all of the senators accomplishments, when she was a district attorney, and served in many other official capacities, her academics all that idiot can focus on is the  lesbianism and homosexual agenda!

        I putty the fool!

        Thing; my name is Francisco Etienne-Dods (Dodds) Telemaque, I am from the Village of Wesley, my blood line are Dods, Telemaque, Alfred, Linton;  ” Robin in Wesley; James in Wesley and Marigot.”

        I invite you to search all of Dominica, and count how many idiots or uneducated idiots walking around with the surnames as noted above.

        I can tell you right now you will not find any; we are super smart, well educated! I reiterate, I am both University, and College academically educated.

        Professionally I am an Electronic/ Electrical Engineer, who also possess a medical background, I can become a medical doctor any day if I so desire! Google and smart phones are not my professors; all of my contributions on DNO are supposed to be intellectual, so the rubbish you idiots writes in response to my comments is an insult to your personal commonsense, since you are not intelligent, and even commonsense you cannot use since you have none!

        I am beyond animalism  instincts mentality!
