SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – OVERNIGHT:

WE WAIT ON HER EVERY WORD – OVERNIGHT:  Vice President Harris speaks on American foreign policy, for a bit. From Daily Mail:   Vice President Kamala Harris told French reporters that America remains 'very concerned' about Russia outside of a shop in Paris on Saturday after buying pots and skillets.  As the Biden administration warned of an imminent threat in Eastern Europe over fears of a Ukraine invasion amidst an escalating crisis at the Belarus-Poland border, Harris strolled through Paris with her husband, Doug Emhoff.  When asked about the Russia-Ukraine conflict the vice president said: 'I cannot talk to you about classified information' and went on to express her concerns on the crisis.   But it wasn't the first time Harris has voiced worries about Russian military movements amid the tense immigrant crisis in Belarus that has the potential to spill over into other countries in Europe.  Harris said the 'eyes of the world' are on the Belarus border as the Biden administration waded into the chaos in Eastern Europe. "Okay, she opened her mouth on a serious subject, even with pots and pans in her hands.  Part of her objective on this trip, we read, is to assure Americans that she is ready to take over as president. Her comments are a good start, but she has a vast distance to go.  And she should discuss foreign policy from behind a desk or a lecturn.  The pots and pans won't scare any enemy.
