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...

In the 1920s, a term was coined that is very appropriate for what is taking place in America today: red fascism. It was a term that likely originated with an Italian anarchist, Luigi Fabbri, who wrote in 1922 that “‘red fascists’ is the name that has recently been given to those Bolshevik communists who are most inclined to espouse fascism’s methods for use against their adversaries.” This description and behavior of course should not come as a surprise to anyone. Socialism is intrinsic to both communism and fascism, as both are movements of the left with a massive, oppressive, and...

The Kamala Harris campaign has created a digital operation with over 175 staff members to attack former President Donald Trump online. The Harris campaign has recruited an army of GenZ staffers from Harris for President and the Democratic National Committee to target voters ahead of November. A spokesperson for the Harris campaign told Axios that the digital team is focused on using social media to "break through a challenging media environment to reach the voters who are most difficult to reach." The digital mobilization team's "rapid response" accounts are responsible for reacting to and capitalizing on trends and key moments...

There is a serious consequence to the fact that the nation’s socialist media are the marketing arm of the DNC. They are the gaslighting gatekeepers, the people who decide who is to be slapped with a “fact check” and suppressed and who is sanctioned as a “trusted source” and who is ignored. Thus, the media are free to propagate any propaganda for what is obviously their side, while mercilessly attacking pro-freedom media sources for the “crime” of telling the truth. This means that the left has become overly dependent on lies. Lying is the left’s only way to move “forward.”...

Sitting Vice President Kamala Harris got no bounce whatsoever coming out of her disastrous convention last week. Last month, between July 19-22, Yahoo polled 1,178 registered voters and found the race tied between former President Trump and CacklyMcNeverBorderCzar. Forty-six to 46 percent. The latest YouGov poll shows Harris actually lost a point against Trump after her convention. Please note the dates of that Yahoo poll. His Fraudulency Joe Biden dropped out of the race in the middle of that poll on July 21. On Tuesday this same pollster released a poll of 1,194 registered voters taken between August 22-26 (five...

When some attending the Democrat Convention in Chicago found maggots and crickets in their breakfasts their first instinct was to call the FBI. The FBI is currently trying to figure out how this happened. Director Christopher Wray said "domestic right-wing terrorists, MAGA people are at the top of our suspect list. We are currently searching through Trump's recent speeches to try to ascertain what code words he used to instigate his followers to do the deed." Others suggested that protesters opposed to the Israeli invasion of Gaza that have been protesting outside the Democratic convention might be responsible. Maggots were...

Democrat Campaign Activist ABANDONS Kamala After BRUTAL WAKE UP CALL While Volunteering For The DNC! Kamala Harris DISASTER: Why This Democrat Volunteer Said ‘ENOUGH!’ Veteran DNC Activist SPILLS the TEA on Kamala Harris & Why She QUIT After Eye-Opening Encounter

One piece of PBS’s coverage of the last night of the Democratic National Convention unwittingly confirmed media labeling bias on PBS and other “mainstream “outlets. First, Washington Post columnist Jonathan Capehart hailed the Democrat’s vice-presidential nominee Tim Walz for using the supposedly less frightening and more convincing term “gun safety legislation” instead of “gun violence laws” (a term the PBS News Hour also uses). Anchor Geoff Bennett expanded that "language" argument to encompass abortion. Anchor Geoff Bennett, 9:50 p.m. (ET): We have seen Democrats do that on abortion, talking less about abortion rights and more about reproductive freedom. To what...
