MACDONALD: This Right Here!

This right here. This is an excellent example of the sort of BS license the Handmaiden media takes with the truth.

Adding fuel to the fire is the couple’s purchase of an $8million Malibu pad last December, although sources told the Daily Mail the new home was bought due to security concerns – especially after President Donald Trump abruptly yanked Harris’s Secret Service protection in September last year. 

It’s the UK Daily Mail, so to be fair, expecting them to sport any truth as fashion is like thinking Ilhan Omar knows that the “II” after ‘World War’ isn’t eleven.

Harris stopped being the VP on Jan 20th, 2025. “Under federal law, former vice presidents are entitled to Secret Service protection for exactly six months after leaving office.” If the Mail had an honest bone in their body, they’d say that President Trump allowed Secret Service (SS) protection for former VP Kamala Harris for two months longer than was statutorily required.

Imagine if it was so she could make other housing arrangements that were more secure. What if, indeed. It wasn’t, but it could have been reported that way.

And why would she need extra protection? Some here, more below.

‘Her house in Brentwood is right on the curb, which made it harder to protect,’ one insider explained of the home, which was bought last December.

‘The new house is more secluded and is well off the road, which makes it easier to secure.’

More on “protection” in a minute.

The $8.15 million Malibu home is not unknown to our readers. We wrote about the post-loss buy.

Yes, the newest addition to the Harris family’s property portfolio is in Malibu. Yes, it has exclusive access to a very exclusive beach. But the property is elevated, not at sea level, and has little to fear from even the most absurd accelerated sea-level rise predictions.

In recent weeks several Point Dume residents have spotted Emhoff strolling through the neighborhood which rests on a 63-acre promontory perched above one of California’s most famous and exclusive beaches known as Little Dume.

Inaccessible to the victims of California’s mismanagement of people and forest resources. Yes, you can see or visit areas devastated by recent fires exacerbated by DEI hiring and poor stewardship. No word yet on whether they will be able to see the workforce housing Gov Nuisance has planned.

According to the Daily Mail piece, Point Dume residents have not been seeing Doug Emhoff strolling anywhere near the Malibu property because?

Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff haven’t been officially seen together at any public events for many months, thanks to their increasingly busy lives, with the former veep spending more time on the campaign trail as she weighs another run for the White House.

Emhoff was a rare sight during her 33-city book tour for 107 Days, and while she hasn’t been seen at any of his “things,” someone is managing to share rare moments of them “together” on social media. The implication is they are not exactly together but not apart.

I’m guessing Emhoff spends more time at the old place. The one that was harder to secure (wink-wink). Or maybe they’re just busy being who they are instead of a couple. It’s hard to say, given how easily reporters abruptly yank the truth out from under their own reporting to score cheap points with partisans who will ape the lie without bothering to learn the truth.

Nothing new under the sinking Blue Sun of progressive politics or among the waves of TDS that crash inexorably on the Mental Health beaches of progressive minds.

One other point worth mentioning. If you search non-partisan, non-Google-affiliated search engines, you won’t find any evidence of “threats against Kamala” at any point after her election. If you ask unrepentant partisan Google, you get this.

Federal charges were filed against individuals for allegedly posting online threats to assassinate her. For instance, a central Pennsylvania man was indicted in the summer of 2025 for writing death threats against her online.

If you follow the link to GO Erie, you get this.

A central Pennsylvania man is facing federal charges for allegedly posting social media threats to assassinate former Vice President Kamala Harris during the 2024 presidential campaign. 

That was before she was even running, and there’s nothing after.

And, by “individuals,” Google Bot meant one guy. And since no major media outlets picked up the story (unless you count the BBC asking why Harris’ SS detail was “pulled”), Google’s AI search bot had to admit as much. Well, it didn’t have to, but it did.

The Secret Service routinely conducts threat intelligence assessments for those under its protection, including Harris. While the Department of Homeland Security found no credible, extraordinary threats warranting a continuation of her Secret Service detail beyond the standard six months in late 2025, the situation on the ground has required alternative measures

Well, maybe it did. If you actually visit the BBC piece, there’s no there there. Before they left the office, the Auto Pen authorized a year’s worth of protection instead of the standard six months for no reason anyone could actually identify.

Nothing recent.

Several men were arrested and charged with making online threats against her in 2024, for example, and in 2021, a Florida woman pleaded guilty to making threats against Harris and admitted she sent videos to her imprisoned husband in which she displayed firearms and said that a “hit” could be carried out within 50 days.

Nothing since she lost the election. Nothing at all. Which means they didn’t buy the Malibu house for security reasons; they bought it because they are one-percenters who like the beach and the company and who could afford it. How much time they spend there together isn’t nearly as interesting as the bullshit regurgitated to sustain a lie. SS probably advised Trump she didn’t need it; there was zero evidence of any risk or threat, and he decided to save the taxpayers some money.

After all the dough Team Biden wasted, and we’re still uncovering it and may never truly know, it’s the least Kamala could do, especially since she and Doug have more than enough to pay for their own. If you were a democrat, taxing their wealth, they’ve got assets in excess of 20 million.
