Democrats pushed a counter-message during former President Donald Trump’s rally on Sunday by projecting a message that he “praised Hitler” onto Madison Square Garden in New York. Photos and video of the projection on Madison Square Garden went viral on Sunday as the heavily attended rally in New York City unfolded. The “Trump Praised Hitler” projection comes in response to a recent report in The Atlantic that claimed the former president told his former chief-of-staff, Gen. John Kelly, that he wanted German generals like the ones Hitler had:

A 22-year-old former Democrat National Convention (DNC) delegate has announced she is calling it quits with the Democrat party. Audrey McNeal, who was a DNC delegate in 2020 and 2024, made the announcement Friday in a video she posted on social media, the Daily Caller reported Sunday. In the clip, McNeal said she is planning to vote for former President Donald Trump (R) and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) on Election Day, which is November 5.

PITTSBURGH — Lancaster County officials announced an investigation Friday after election workers found some 2,500 voter applications that they suspect are fraudulent. Two batches of applications were dropped off last-minute at the county elections office to meet Pennsylvania’s Oct. 21 voter registration deadline, officials reported at a Friday news conference. District Attorney Heather Adams said investigators found problems with 60% of the voter registration forms they’ve reviewed so far, including incorrect addresses, false identification information, false names and names that don’t match Social Security information. “Staff noticed that numerous applications appeared to have the same handwriting [and] were filled out...

The panic on the left is international. U.K. Labour, which is collapsing before our eyes a mere few months after winning a massive majority in the Parliament, is engaging in a massive election interference program here in the United States. When Russia spent a few hundred thousand dollars on grossly ineffective ads aimed at stirring up trouble in 2016, the world went wild. The ruling party of the United Kingdom is literally sending foreign agents to the United States to help the Kamala Harris campaign. So far nobody is making a stink about it. Why on Earth is @UKLabour proactively...

Democrats will be intensifying their football focus on Sunday, when the Democratic National Committee plans to fly messages over four NFL games in battleground states, the party told NBC News. Week 6 of the NFL schedule has a quirk where three matchups feature battleground-state teams: The Green Bay Packers host the Arizona Cardinals, the Carolina Panthers host the Atlanta Falcons, and the Las Vegas Raiders host the Pittsburgh Steelers. The DNC will be skywriting “Vote Kamala” over Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas for the afternoon matchup between the Steelers and the Raiders. In Green Bay and Charlotte, the DNC will...

The longtime Democratic Party lawyer has already filed more than 60 preelection lawsuits to stop Trump from becoming president again by combatting what he calls Republican “voter suppression” efforts such as requiring voters to provide identification at the polls. Echoing a standard Democratic talking point, Elias maintains that such requirements are “racist” strategies designed to make it harder for minorities to vote.At the same time, Elias has been sending letters to election officials in Georgia and other key swing states threatening legal action if they uphold challenges to voter rolls to remove noncitizens and other ineligible registrants. Some Georgia officials...

Illinois government workers’ union dues fund Democratic Party campaign committees, which are now seeking to tip the presidential election outcome in swing states. That fails to align with at least 40% of members’ politics. The Illinois Democratic Party wants to decide the outcome of the presidential election by making a strategic investment in swing states, according to state party chair Lisa Henandez. That strategy was echoed by U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, who said, “We should adopt [Wisconsin] – and we have in many respects – to be part of their organization to elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.” The problem:...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is bashing former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), attacking them in American media outlets and touring an ammunition factory in Pennsylvania Sunday — reportedly arriving there at the taxpayers’ expense on an Air Force jet. The New Yorker has an exhaustive piece on Zelensky penned by Joshua Yaffa, stating that the Ukrainian leader “speaks with the urgency of a leader who knows that he may be facing his last best chance for substantial foreign assistance” as President Biden’s presidential term is coming to an end. The Q&A in the piece...

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) claimed Sunday on ABC “This Week” that Vice President Kamala Harris gave a speech at the Democratic National Convention the former Ronald Reagan could have given. Cheney said, “If you look at Vice President Harris’ Speech for example, at the Democratic Convention, it is a speech that Ronald Reagan could have given. It is a speech that George Bush could have given. It’s very much an embrace and an understanding of the exceptional nature of this great nation, a love of America, a recognition that America is a special place, a recognition that we all...

In her acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention, Vice President Kamala Harris mentioned foreign policy and national security in brief, broad, general themes: support for Israel and for Palestinian self-determination, and work toward a ceasefire of the ongoing conflict in Gaza; support for Ukraine in its war against Russia; support for border security but welcoming immigrants; ensuring America has the “strongest, most lethal fighting force in the world”; support for NATO; and waging tech competition with China. Eventually, someone will need to put some flesh on the bones collected in her speech.

As America’s largest companies and their CEOs increasingly embrace a new leadership role in advancing racial equity, they face a confounding question: What really works? Despite decades of research and a growing corporate focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) over the past few years, many executives are unsure what actions are most effective at increasing diverse representation, improving feelings of inclusion, or making progress on other DEI goals

Harvard Law Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz criticized the Democrat Party for having hosted the “most anti-Jewish, anti-Israel, anti-Zionist convention” in August, adding that he was “no longer a Democrat.” During an interview with radio host Zev Brenner, Dershowitz spoke about how the Democrat Party had “more anti-Jewish, anti-Zionist” speakers, such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) at its convention in Chicago. Dershowitz went on to criticize President Joe Biden for stating that pro-Palestinian protesters “have a point,” and pointed out that Biden had pushed a hoax claiming that former President Donald Trump...

[Catholic Caucus] Uncertain Trumpets: Cardinal Cupich and Pope FrancisFrom the Vatican's embrace of a socialist dictator to Cardinal Cupich's scandalous invocation at the Democratic National Convention, we find ourselves without leaders to guide us.Two events of recent days have scandalized me. Both were symbolic gestures and included the exchange of platitudes but also created an ambiguity about the Church’s teaching that is stretched to obfuscation. The first symbolic event was when the pope sent a new nuncio of Venezuela. In case you don’t pay attention to Latin American dictators, there was a presidential election in Venezuela that almost everyone but...

Interesting observation about the Democratic National Convention (DNC) logo. It seems to represent "Death to America". Anyone else think this?

President Joe Biden was spotted with First Lady Jill Biden on the beach in Rehoboth, Delaware - vacationing for the second weekend in a row. Biden sat near a blue umbrella wearing a black hat and Philadelphia Eagles T-shirt while talking on the phone and waving at the cameras on Saturday. The First Lady appeared relaxed with the sleeves of her white dress rolled up and hair tired back in a gray baseball cap.

Speakers and delegates at this year’s Democratic National Convention chastised Pro-Life laws and swore to make the United States one of the most pro-abortion countries on planet earth. Abortion was celebrated more than ever, and that was evident by the speakers chosen for the event. When it came time for the Texas delegation to cast their votes, former Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards, a native Texan, took the mic to introduce Kate Cox to speak. Cox, who Richards called a “Texas heroine,” garnered national media attention in December when she sued the state to abort her preborn child diagnosed with...

A bevy of leading Democrats lined up party’s national convention to kiss the ring of left-wing megadonor Alex Soros, who showed his dominion over the pols by adding the photographs to his growing gallery on social media. The snaps are a veritable who’s who of the party’s establishment powerbrokers — and those anointed as “rising stars.” Many of the photos appear to have been taken from an airy skybox at the United Center in Chicago — where the party’s most elite donors paid up to $5 million to watch the action. “Who can blame a young upstart billionaire for showing...

The DNC uses “lawfare” as its most fundamental strategic tool. Lawfare is the manipulation of the Judiciary, or the courts, in ways that abuse and distort their normal use and purpose, in order to disadvantage an opposing party; to quietly undermine open legislation or the Constitution (for example, concerning the Electoral College); to actually do away with laws that protect civic integrity like voting; or to enact administrative or executive rules that advance any political objective. The recent lawsuit brought by the DNC and the Harris-Walz campaign against the Georgia election commission concerning vote certification is an example. The DNC...

Did the Democrat convention boost Kamala Harris' poll numbers? Yes, and also no. Or no, and also yes, depending on what one watches.It's been a while since we took a look at polling in the race, and honestly, perhaps it's still too soon to look at the numbers for any conclusions or predictions about where the race is heading. The replacement of Joe Biden with Kamala Harris five weeks ago turned this into a new contest, and until Harris sets out her agenda for a new term as president, most of the numbers are just, well ... vibes.Of course, that's...

Babies Died, Adults Delivered from Spiritual Death Chicago, IL — During the Democratic National Convention (DNC) last week in Chicago, Planned Parenthood parked a “mobile clinic” just a few blocks from the United Center, where the event was hosted, and scheduled appointments for free abortions. Up to 25 babies were reportedly murdered using chemical abortion drugs during the first two days of the convention. The clinic also offered appointments to sterilize men free of charge. Dubbed by some as a “mobile death camp,” the van was manned by Colleen McNicholas, an abortionist Operation Rescue has been tracking for years. The...
