In the midst of mounting global chaos, from international conflicts to hurricanes wreaking havoc on innocent lives, one has to find humor wherever possible. What could be more amusing than the revelation that Kamala Harris has published a book purportedly detailing her achievements, only to find that it consists entirely of blank pages? This hilarious oversight reflects quite the irony for the Vice President who has strived to label herself as a historic figure amid a backdrop of silence that might as well echo her political career.
Checking the shelves of this “Accomplishments” book is akin to perusing a menu at a failing restaurant; it’s empty and devoid of substance. While actual accomplishments are in short supply, it’s hard not to chuckle when a supposedly serious publication ends up being a parody of itself. A quick scan of social media confirms that a vast audience has already caught on to the farcical nature of this supposed highlight reel. It takes serious talent to write a book that doesn’t even require turning a page to read, yet here we are—the Vice President of the United States has managed to accomplish that.

Books with hilariously misleading titles have become a staple of internet humor in recent times. The irony here is that while others cleverly spoof the absurdity humorously, Harris seems to have unwittingly handed her critics a gift. This blank book is reminiscent of titles that dare to compare; one can only imagine underperformers like “The Greatness of Hillary Clinton” joining the ranks. It’s no surprise to anyone that Harris’s book stands out—in the worst possible ways.
While the content is disappointingly nonexistent, the reactions are anything but. Readers have taken to offering their own comedic reviews, calling it an inspiring work that gives profound insights into Harris’s thoughts and values. It might give one pause to wonder if these reviewers genuinely believed what they wrote or simply joined in the humor of the moment. One thing is clear, though: Instead of showcasing noteworthy achievements, the book inadvertently emphasizes the Vice President’s failure to accomplish anything tangible in office.
A short list of actual accomplishments could fill the book’s pages if it were written honestly. The Vice President managed to cast a tie-breaking vote on the Inflation Reduction Act—an act widely criticized for worsening inflation instead. Her tenure as the “border czar” has been nothing short of a comedy of errors, with the southern border resembling an open door policy for illegal crossings. Then there’s her rapid ascent to the presidential nomination without having participated in a single primary vote. It all begs the question: where are the real achievements that warrant any credence?
In a world filled with challenges and real leadership crises, Harris’s book serves as an odd reflection of the current administration’s lack of verifiable success. Like the blank pages that define this literary endeavor, her political track record is nearly void of anything beneficial for the American people. It does inspire a chuckle, however, as the American electorate prepares to head to the polls, ensuring they are reminded of the emptiness this book—and its author—truly embodies.
