CA for Trump 2024

Anti-Israel protesters swarmed former GOP presidential primary candidate Vivek Ramaswamy as he crossed Union Park in Chicago, just blocks from the DNC. “Racist go home! Racist go home!” the demonstrators shouted at Ramaswamy as his security detail formed a bubble of protection around him. It was then that the performance artist “Crackhead Barney” appeared. “Why are you a genocidal warmonger?” she cried. The internet personality has made headlines for harassing Alec Baldwin in an anti-Israel temper tantrum at a coffee shop in the Big Apple — and later hamming it up on “Piers Morgan Uncensored” about the incident.

The Democratic National Convention in Chicago this week was one heck of a production. Less like a normal political convention and more like a glitzy Hollywood one. With a host of A-list celebrities and B-list politicians it felt most like the Oscars. So in honor of this the Academy, would like to hand out a set of awards for the best performances in Chicago this week: Best Actress — Nancy Pelosi There really was no competition in this category. Nancy Pelosi gave the performance of a lifetime, reading every one of her lines without cracking.

Now Russia appears to be scouting Germany as a potential target for sabotage, intelligence officers told Bild. Sources told the newspaper that a flying object was detected flying over the industrial area in Brunsbütte, on the northern coast of Germany, last night. Drones have been flying over the area, home to a nuclear power plant, an Liquefied Natural Gas terminal and several chemical plants, since at least August 8, and have been attributed to Russian agents who are likely launching them from civilian ships in the North Sea.

Students at Edmond North High School are rallying around a student after he was told he was not allowed to fly an American flag from his pickup. EDMOND, Okla. — Students at Edmond North High School are rallying around a student after he was told he was not allowed to fly an American flag from his pickup. Advertisement Edmond Public Schools said it’s a practice not to fly any flags on campus, but it’s not a policy. When they informed a student, a group started organizing to show their “American pride.” “I’ve been flying it for quite a while,” said...

From high-end Michelin-starred restaurants to local chain establishments, one of the most time-honored rituals for chefs and cooks across the globe is the post-shift beer. After a long day in the kitchen spent on your feet sweating over hot burners, an ice-cold beer is one of the easiest and quickest ways to unwind. But what are the chefs actually drinking these days? Cheap macro lagers have long been adored by chefs, including well-known, easy-drinking beers like Modelo or a Michelob Ultra, but as craft options have taken over the larger drinking scene, have restaurant workers’ favorite brews evolved? Or does...

Phil Vischer, the creator of the children’s cartoon series VeggieTales—who is now better known for peddling bad doctrine under the guise of Christian-themed entertainment—has taken a nosedive into the depths of woke madness. Vischer has solidified his place among the rising tide of the Evangelical Beast of Revelation, also known as the “Woke Church.” Now, keep in mind that this is the same guy who once seriously questioned whether Latino Republicans are just “white people in disguise” and who advocates for the church to roll out the red carpet for transgenderism. He’s become a loud and proud cheerleader for Christians...

MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that the Democrats had taken over “both freedom and football.” Host Nicolle Wallace said, “I start with you as mom, I will confess my ugly tears when Hope and Gus were overcome with emotion seeing their very normal dad out on that biggest stage in American politics.” McCaskill said, “Yeah, this week has been, for me, like laughing and crying. It’s like how can you not tear up watching Gus and his love just spew forth.”

In a performance worthy of her self-anointed status as America’s spiritual guide, Oprah Winfrey took the stage at the DNC to deliver what can only be described as a sermon on the sanctity of abortion. With the gravitas of a high priestess delivering her divine revelation, she proclaimed, “If you do not have autonomy over this, over this, if you cannot control when and how you choose to bring your children into this world and how they are, [gestures to herself], there is no American dream.” Watch: One might wonder if, before her sermon, Oprah took a moment to meditate...

Financial and political “challenges” have caused Planned Parenthood to make the “difficult decisions” to “temporarily pause deep sedation services” in the city of Manhattan and close four locations in the state of New York. I’m sure it was “difficult” for an organization dedicated to ending life to make a decision that meant they have less babies to terminate and women to harm. But as Christina Bennett, Live Action News correspondent, explained in comment to The Washington Stand, the only “difficult” decision should be “operating a business that takes human life.” Of course, for pro-lifers, the closures are great news. As...

BREAKING: Former CNN host Don Lemon says sources have told him George Bush could be speaking at the DNC.

Rapper Juvenile stormed off his plane in fury after American Airlines crew tried to bump him from first class to coach. The 'Back That A** Up' hit star was furious when crew members asked him and his wife to move to economy on a Dallas-bound flight, sparking a heated confrontation caught on camera. In video footage, Juvenile, whose real name is Terius Gray, can be heard yelling at flight attendants and refusing to move to the back of the plane. 'I'm a celebrity. I'm telling you this is going to be repercussions,' the 48-year-old New Orleans native said. 'It's going...

During recent riots in the United Kingdom, it was not lost on on the British public—or on the new Starmer government—that when riots last occurred in Britain in 2011, then-Mayor of London Boris Johnson didn’t come back from his vacation. True, Johnson wasn’t in charge of the country, only a city—albeit a capital of 8 million people at the time—but the man nonetheless seemingly had other things on his mind. The Johnson era, during which Johnson clowned his way from mayor to foreign secretary to prime minister via the disaster that was Brexit, is one the new Labour government is...

[Catholic Caucus] A new look at the Synod on SynodalityMarshall McLuhan was a Canadian communication guru of the last century who was probably best known for saying, "The medium is the message." As the second and last session of the Synod on Synodality draws near, it occurs to me that something along those lines is apparently what Pope Francis has in mind for the synod, but in a variant form: "The process is the product."Although an ever-growing body of synodal reports, summaries, and syntheses already exists, the concluding session, Oct. 2 to Oct. 27, will add many more. A few...

Two weeks after organizers scrubbed Taylor Swift's concerts in Vienna amid a foiled terror plot, the singer issued her first statement on the cancellations. “Having our Vienna shows cancelled was devastating,” she wrote in a statement posted to Instagram on Wednesday. “The reason for the cancellations filled me with a new sense of fear, and a tremendous amount of guilt because so many people had planned on coming to those shows.” She thanked authorities — “thanks to them, we were grieving concerts and not lives,” she wrote — and said she waited to speak until the European leg of her...

A Post Falls resident may begin collecting a $1.1 million judgment against the blogger who defamed him, a judge ruled Wednesday. In May, a Kootenai County jury unanimously found that Summer Bushnell defamed Eric Posey when she falsely accused him of exposing himself during Pride in the Park 2022. Bushnell asked the court earlier this month to stay enforcement of the judgment while she appeals the case. First District Judge Ross Pittman denied Bushnell’s request Wednesday. “It’s on you, Ms. Bushnell, to show good cause, and you have not done so here today,” Pittman said. Bushnell, who is now representing...
