If there’s one theme being pushed repeatedly at the Democratic National Convention, it’s the idea that Hillary Clinton is the “most qualified” candidate ever to run for president. A brief sampling of Democrats using the phrase in their floor speeches: Michelle Obama: “I am with you tonight because in this election, there is only one person who I trust with that responsibility, only one person who I believe is truly qualified to be president of the United States, and that is our friend Hillary Clinton.” American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten: “Hillary is the most qualified person to run...

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Wind gusts, heavy rain and lightning have forced people to evacuate the media tents outside of the Wells Fargo Center and take shelter less than an hour before the opening gavel on the final night of the Democratic National Convention. Officials say that the media tents in the vicinity of the Wells Fargo Center are not designed to fully protect people in the event of a direct lightening strike. They’re strongly recommending that people leave their tents due to lightening that becomes a concern when the strikes are within a six-mile radius of the DNC and evacuate...

PHILADELPHIA — The six flag poles on top of the Philadelphia City Hall are bare Thursday morning. One city official who asked not to be named told The Daily Caller that the U.S flags typically atop the City Hall flagpoles have been moved to the Democratic National Convention stage. http://dailycaller.com/2016/07/28/u-s-flags-disappear-from-atop-philadelphia-city-hall-city-official-says-they-were-added-to-dnc-stage/

The event in question was the “Interfaith Service of Prayer for the Nation” held at Philly’s [Catholic] cathedral, the Basilica of Ss. Peter and Paul. Planning for the event began in February by the Philadelphia Liturgical Institute, at the request and on behalf of the DNC. The prayer service was … odd.

PHILADELPHIA For Hillary Clinton, finding thousands of words for her speech Thursday accepting the Democratic presidential nomination will be easy. Distilling her campaign to a simple few will be harder. Think of Ronald Reagan boiling down his 1980 campaign to the powerful message, “Are you better off than you were four years ago?” Or Bill Clinton’s three main points in 1992: “The economy, stupid”; change vs. more of the same. Or Barack Obama’s in 2008: hope and change. Yet today, after more than a year of campaigning, has Hillary Clinton been unable to craft a clear, cogent message – just...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: If you want to know what the real Democrat Party is, here's Nancy Pelosi on PBS. This is the NewsHour last night, Judy Woodruff. "Right now Donald Trump is doing much better than Hillary Clinton among white men, particularly white men who have not attended college. How does Hillary Clinton counter that," Ms. Pelosi? PELOSI: I think that so many times white, non-college education -- educated white males have voted Republican. They voted against their own economic interests because of guns, because of gays, and because of God, the three G's -- "God" being the women's right...

These vendors at the Democratic convention don't see much enthusiasm for Clinton. (Video at site)

Last day, amigos. LORD, give us strength....

The Israeli flag was burned in a small bonfire at 10 p.m. Tuesday night by pro-Bernie Sanders protesters outside the security fence surrounding the Democratic National Convention (DNC) venue. A woman whose face was covered with a black bandana held the flag over the fire before dropping it in. Some of those in the crowd chanted “Intifada” repeatedly. Toward the end of the video in the following tweet, you can even hear someone shouting “Death to the USA” and someone else asking for an American flag.

The son of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump says he’s “honored” President Obama would “plagiarize” a line from his Republican National Convention speech. “I’m honored that POTUS would plagiarize a line from my speech last week. Where’s the outrage?” Donald Trump Jr. tweeted Thursday, following Obama’s Democratic National Convention speech on Wednesday night in Philadelphia. Last week, when addressing the Republican convention in Cleveland, Trump Jr. said: "There’s so much work to do. We will not accept the current state of our country because it’s too hard to change. That’s not the America I know. We’re going to unleash the...

And I think that, so many times, white — non-college-education — educated white males have voted Republican. They voted against their own economic interests because of guns, because of gays, and because of God, the three G’s, God being the woman’s right to choose. --House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to Judy Woodruff in an interview Wednesday What Nancy Pelosi said isn't necessarily a new idea: the theory that white, working class men vote Republican because of social issues and -- from Democrats' perspective -- to the detriment of their economic interests. But it is worth taking a closer look...

"How can there be pleasure in saying, 'You’re fired!?' asked Biden. Biden said Trump is "a man who embraces the tactics of our enemies," including torture and religious intolerance. "We cannot elect a man who exploits our fears of ISIS and other terrorists," he said. "Donald Trump with all his rhetoric would literally make us less safe. We simply cannot let that happen as Americans."

Democrats put in plenty of good words for Hillary Clinton during their convention yesterday but they focused most of their energy on trying to assassinate the character of Donald Trump. The Left is now going after the Republican nominee with brass knuckles. The latest Democrat attack line accuses Trump of committing treason for asking Russia or any other governments that may have Clinton's mountain of missing emails in their possession to return them to the United States.

RUDY GIULIANI FULL INTERVIEW WITH SEAN HANNITY (7/28/2016)

Reveling in the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision to strike down a Texas abortion law, a leading abortion rights activist on Monday cast the ongoing political battle as nothing short of a fight over "American values." Ilyse Hogue, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, told a breakfast meeting of the Texas Democratic delegation that the "fight is not about abortion." Rather, she said, "this is a clash of fundamentally different ways of looking at the world." She then pointed to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and other top GOP leaders. "You have men like Donald Trump, Mike Pence, Rick Perry and...

Dozens of Broadway’s biggest stars joined together onstage at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday to perform the classic tune “What the World Needs Now Is Love” in tribute to victims of gun violence.

Vice President Joe Biden declared that Donald Trump has "no clue, period" in a Democratic National Convention speech tailored toward the working-class white men who have gravitated toward the GOP nominee. Biden began his pitch for Hillary Clinton by lauding his boss, President Obama, as "the embodiment of honor, resolve and character" and "one of the finest presidents we have ever had." (snip) Biden argued that "if you live in the neighborhoods like the one Jill and I grew up in, if you worry about your job and getting a decent pay, if you worry about your children's education, if...

What a way to begin the Democratic National Committee's convention in Philadelphia. And where to start with the WikiLeaks leak of nearly 20,000 DNC emails? The emails by and between members of the DNC could us show that, no, Bernie Sanders was not paranoid when he insisted that DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and her organization, engineered and manipulated the campaign to ensure the victory of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The eruption by the Sanders supporters over her obvious bias forced Wasserman Shultz to tender her resignation a day before their convention opened, to be replaced by interim...
