Rumor has it that Time Magazine is seriously considering Kamala Harris as their ‘Person of the Year.’ This revelation might prompt some serious questioning of the publication’s credibility, as many are left pondering what exactly could warrant such a choice. It’s a classic case of what’s wrong with a world obsessed with accolades over achievements. The magazine, once a revered institution, has devolved into a platform that sometimes feels more like a punchline than a respected source of news.
Time’s history is littered with curious selections, showcasing everyone from despots to the profoundly perplexing. For context, the magazine previously featured figures like Hitler and Saddam Hussein, perhaps suggesting that such choices are motivated more by shock value than by any true merit. The once-respected list has become a playground for the insipid and the irrelevant. In years past, genuine heroes like Winston Churchill graced the cover, contrasted starkly with the more recent likes of pop-star-centric groups or even trendy movements like BLM, which, let’s be honest, only highlight Time’s sordid tilt towards the absurd.
Seriously? Time Magazine is completely out of touch. Trump clearly should be selected as the person of the year. He pulled off a feat no one else could do.https://t.co/g1d6wYC4N4

Now, in 2024, the front-runners supposedly vying for this dubious honor include a hodgepodge of characters. Alongside Kamala Harris, popular names like Elon Musk, Joe Rogan, and even Benjamin Netanyahu feature prominently. It raises eyebrows as to how a woman who garners more giggles than respect amid a sea of struggle for real leadership could top this list. The irony is not lost on anyone: Time could secure its legacy of irrelevancy by anointing Harris, demonstrating its complete detachment from the core principles of valor and real achievement.
Meanwhile, the juxtaposition of real contenders highlights how Harris remains an underwhelming candidate by comparison. Donald Trump, who has faced unparalleled adversity and continues to be a galvanizing force among conservatives, is yet again on the list for Time’s consideration. The difference is clear; Trump’s journey embodies strength against systemic opposition, whereas Harris symbolizes the unfortunate reality of political expediency. The former president inspires action while the latter seems to be riding on the coattails of her party’s machine.
As contenders line up for what many see as nothing more than a cynical publicity stunt, it becomes increasingly apparent that their careers are often intertwined with Trump’s narrative. Musk’s transformation after his political awakening in July serves as a notable example of how the tides have changed, with many realizing that aligning with true courage is the move of the moment. Others, like Joe Rogan, have also recognized the worthwhile brawn in Trump’s comeback, having interviewed him extensively while ignoring the equally available but uninspiring Kamala Harris.
In a bizarre twist, the nomination of Kamala Harris as ‘Person of the Year’ illustrates just how far Time has strayed from its roots. The spot should be reserved for a leader who instills hope and captures the American spirit, not a politician who flounders in a sluggish administration. Conservative voices across the nation identify who truly deserves the recognition — a titan who stood strong against the tides of adversity and stood up for the American people. When it comes to true courage, the choice for Time’s ‘Person of the Year’ is crystal clear — it most certainly isn’t Harris.
