Uh-oh: looks like I’ve had something of a mind-meld with Rachel Maddow . . . During Bill Clinton’s DNC speech tonight, I tweeted “the spectacle of Bill Clinton telling the romantic story of how he met, wooed and married Hillary is deeply creepy.” When the speech ended, Rachel Maddow, on MSNBC, called the top of the speech “shocking and weird,” describing the beginning of the speech as “controversial.” Maddow was miffed that Clinton spoke of “a girl,” “the girl” and built “her whole political story for the whole first half of the speech around her marriage to him.” View the...

Diehard supporters of Sen. Bernard Sanders stormed media tents and staged a sit-in Tuesday night minutes after Hillary Clinton officially claimed the party’s presidential nomination, injecting another round of drama into the convention and pouring cold water on claims Democrats are fully uniting behind their White House nominee. Hundreds of Sanders backers, most carrying signs backing their candidate, conducted what seemed to be a well-coordinated march from the Wells Fargo Center to the media tents just outside the arena. They said that party officials were trying to confiscate Sanders signs inside Wells Fargo

(CNN)Wikileaks founder Julian Assange said Tuesday his whistleblowing website might release "a lot more material" relevant to the US electoral campaign. Assange was speaking in a CNN interview following the release of nearly 20,000 emails stolen from the Democratic National Committee by suspected Russian hackers. However, Assange refused to confirm or deny a Russian origin for the mass email leak, saying Wikileaks tries to create ambiguity to protect all its sources. "Perhaps one day the source or sources will step forward and that might be an interesting moment some people may have egg on their faces. But to exclude certain...

Bernie Sanders will not formally nominate Hillary Clinton for president, in a gesture he will not offer that might otherwise have been another signal of unity and reconciliation for still-seething Bernie backers. 'He will not nominate her, Sanders spokesman Michael Briggs told DailyMail.com

Another day, another gathering of commies.

BREAKING: DNC Officials Are Now Taking Away Bernie Sanders Signs From Convention Delegates #DNCLeaks

Russian Hackers Altered Emails Before Release to Wikileaks Source: Motherboard Vice, NPR, and MSNBC New evidence is emerging that content from the DNC emails accessed by Russian hackers may have been altered before being released to Wikileaks. This added layer of information joined with the timing of the release and TrumpÂ’s cozy relationship with Putin paint a picture of deep collusion and planning aimed at fracturing any potential Democratic unity at the most crucial point in the 2016 presidential election cycle. Thomas Rid at Motherboard Vice reported on the discovery this morning: The metadata in the leaked documents are perhaps...

Ya don't say, Elizabeth Warren “The system is rigged,” and Elizabeth Warren “gets it.” That’s the message Fauxcahontas delivered - not as a joke, or as part of a comedy bit - during last night’s DNC Convention remarks. Warren, a “filthy one-percenter” who apparently doesn’t understand the concept of irony, was talking about how the rich and powerful play by a different set of rules than “the little guy.”

She's just as shocked as you are Whenever there’s a scandal involving a Clinton, you can be sure that the Clintons knew nothing about it. They are forever “out of the loop” when it comes to the sleazy, underhanded activities of their lackeys. This has been true in virtually every nefarious Clinton-based plot for the last twenty-five years, and there’s no reason to think anything’s changed. As always, when it comes to the DNC tipping the scales in her favor during the primaries, Hillary Clinton had no idea.

When Hillary Clinton said Tim Kaine is everything Donald Trump and Mike Pence are not she swerved into the truth. A quick look at everything she and Tim Kaine represent proves she is right although not in the sense that she meant. Here is a list of the groups and organizations that like and don’t like Democrat Vice Presidential nominee Tim Kaine. As a Democrat the putative Catholic Kaine gets his requisite 100% rating from the baby murderers at Planned Parenthood; and the Wildlife crowd (animals are always more important to Democrats than actual people) gave Kaine a 91%. The...

After watching Republicans invoke Hillary Clinton’s name almost 300 times in just four days last week at their convention, Democrats returned the favor on day one of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia. The terms “Donald,” “Trump” or “Donald Trump” appeared in an ABC News transcript of the DNC 138 times unique times on Monday, including references to the Republican nominee as well as buildings, the university named for Trump and even the businessman’s line of steaks. Among notable speakers during the evening session of the convention, Trump was extremely popular. Major speakers such as New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker...

PHILADELPHIA — Hillary Clinton's campaign is bracing for the possibility of more damaging emails being leaked to the public as the presidential campaign enters its home stretch. Jennifer Palmieri, communications director for Hillary for America, said it’s possible that more emails will be released at a time designed to inflict maximum political pain to Democrats. “The WikiLeaks leak was obviously designed to hurt our convention,” she told reporters. “I don’t think they’re done. That’s how they operate. “We can’t know, but it’s part of the reason that we wanted people to understand our belief that the Russians are behind this,”...

Truncated title. Full title: EXCLUSIVE: Bernie Delegates Plot Commotion on the Convention Floor to Protest Hillary-Kaine and Challenge Kaine as Running Mate! Disenfranchised Bernie Sanders delegates are talking intensely behind the scenes about how to disrupt the Democratic National Convention to protest the Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine ticket. Breitbart News has learned that some groups of delegates are considering nominating a vice presidential challenger to Clinton’s pick Tim Kaine. Others are discussing a potential walkout by Sanders delegates. But Sanders’ speech Monday afternoon urging people to vote for Clinton seems to have damaged the plans, prompting some pro-Bernie delegates...

We live in a world dominated by propaganda, punditry and increasing pagandom where we rely on a media in bed with the government for truth Now that the Godless are gathered in one spot for the next few days at the Wells Fargo Center, in Philadelphia, we should take a good look at what we’re up against. This is our future, and it isn’t pretty and it isn’t good. The Democrats are doing a demon’s dance with every one of their many perversions on full display, paying flagrant homage to their coronated queen, the corrupt Hillary Clinton.

"Ouch! We Busted Wall Street Journal Reporter Running DNC Talking Points Essentially Verbatim #DNCLeaks #DemsInPhilly" GotNews.com is finally getting around to the DNC leaks. And boy are they awesome. We found a reporter — Laura Meckler of the Wall Street Journal — who is basically a stenographer for the Hillary Clinton campaign. That might seem harsh but Meckler actually once used a sock puppet to try to get an interview with Obama so she’s used to being a puppet or getting stories planted.

Boy, Lady M really brought it last night. It only took 7 1/2 years and untold billions of dollars – butt behold, a FLOTUS who’s ready for prime time. Dress, age appropriate; voice, toned down (sorry, pretty sure that’s a sexist microaggression of some sort). And I think she’s been taking speech lessons from Hillary’s voice coach.  Unfortunately, even with the coaching, she still schtruggled a little with those pesky “st” words like “schtronger,” “schtrength,” and “shtriving:” butt bless her heart, she tried. “We cannot afford to be tired or frush-trated or cynical.”All while managing to keep race front and...

<p>In a remarkable display of resistance, Sen. Bernie Sanders was vigorously booed by his own supporters Monday as he urged them to rally around Hillary Clinton and defeat Donald Trump for president. Later, as the Democratic National Convention opened, more boos rained down when Mrs. Clinton’s name was mentioned.</p>

It's common for presidential candidates to get a bump from their conventions, and two new polls Monday suggest Donald Trump did indeed get that. But the new polls don't just show Trump's stock rising (however temporarily that may be); they also have some very bad news for Hillary Clinton and her already-declining personal image. Indeed, politically, she's doing as bad as she ever has — if not worse.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren was repeatedly heckled Monday night as she delivered a speech endorsing Hillary Clinton to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia. “We trusted you! We trusted you!” chanted factions of the audience comprised of individuals who were apparent supporters of Bernie Sanders and were seemingly upset with Warren’s endorsement of Clinton. Loud boos and jeers came soon after, when the Massachusetts senator said it was imperative that Clinton and Tim Kaine, her running mate, were elected to the White House.
