Bradley Cooper's appearance at the Democratic National Convention Wednesday night has irked some conservative fans of the actor's portrayal of Navy SEAL Chris Kyle in 2014's "American Sniper." Cooper was spotted by TV cameras seated at the meeting in Philadelphia alongside his Russian model girlfriend, Irina Shayk. Some Twitter users say they plan to boycott Cooper's future films over his presence at the convention. Another commented that they thought his experience playing Kyle would have rubbed off on him.

Lets do it.

Well, well, well it seems that requiring voter I.D. to actually cast a VOTE in an election is racist, but requiring one to get into the DNC Convention somehow isn’t? Something as IMPORTANT as voting, where people need to know their vote counts, shouldn’t require identification according to Democrats, but the hypocrites require I.D. for their left wing loon convention?

PHILADELPHIA — As Cory Booker left a room full of Iowa Democrats, shaking hands and snapping selfies as he went, a man approached him and declared, “I hope to work for you in 2024!” During this week’s Democratic National Convention, Booker has helped his already-rising political star among Democrats, including from first-in-the-nation voting Iowa. The U.S. senator from New Jersey gave a well-received address to the convention earlier this week. On Wednesday morning he was similarly well received when he spoke to Iowa Democrats. Booker burst on the national scene years ago, first as mayor of Newark and then in...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: We welcome back to the program Dinesh D'Souza, movie producer and director extraordinaire. Hillary's America. You just won, not an award, but you just achieved the highest grossing -- what's the category that you just -- D'SOUZA: Rush, it's absolutely fantastic. We became, in just five days, we became the most successful political documentary of this year, 2016, and we've also become, we've entered the top 10 documentaries of all time in just five days. RUSH: Right. But this movie, it's a documentary, but it's entertaining as it can be. It's not stiff by any means. If...

It's reasonable to ask, why is the Clinton Foundation missing from the Democrat National Convention? Every speaker tells us that Hillary has devoted her entire life to helping children. It seemed to me if Hillary did any such thing, then over the last ten years or so we'd see Mrs. Clinton featured with children's charities - then it dawned on me. Everyone keeps saying she cares deeply about the less fortunate. This has been her life's work. But where is it? Maybe I missed some people who said they were helped, but that Jumbotron and stage should be filled with...

The Suffolk University poll showed Clinton with a 9-point lead over Trump in the Keystone State as the Democratic National Convention takes place in Philadelphia. When Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson and Green Party nominee Jill Stein are included, Clinton's lead remains 9 points.

Greg Nash PHILADELPHIA — Hillary Clinton will cast an optimistic outlook on the nation's present and future when she accepts the Democratic nomination for president Thursday and becomes the first woman to lead her party into the fall. The speech will offer a contrasting vision to the one given by Donald Trump last week on issues ranging from the economy to national security. "America is once again at a moment of reckoning," she is expected to say at the Democratic National Convention. "Powerful forces are threatening to pull out apart. Bonds of trust and respect are fraying. And just...

Not in Philadelphia. “Where’s the beef?” was a very popular and memorable advertising theme for Wendy’s three decades ago. It highlighted the amount of beef in its burgers versus the competition. As I struggled to listen to some of the speeches last night at the Democrat National Convention, I asked a similar question: Where’s the substance? There was none.

Russia told the United States on Thursday to get to the bottom of a hacking scandal involving Democratic Party emails itself and rejected what Donald Trump said was a sarcastic suggestion that Moscow should dig up Hillary Clinton's "missing" emails. Trump, the Republican Party's presidential candidate, angered Democrats on Wednesday by inviting Russia to unearth tens of thousands of emails from rival Clinton's tenure as U.S. secretary of state. He spoke out after President Barack Obama said it was possible Russia might try to influence the Nov. 8 U.S. presidential election after a leak of Democratic National Committee emails that...

I witnessed this same phenomenon back in 2008 used by Team 0bama. The Democrats portray females as strong and capable while at the same time INSULTING THEM BY EXPLOITING THEIR WEAKNESS AND GULLIBILITY by fronting celebrities and musicians TO TUG AT THEIR HEART STRINGS thus winning their vote. THE FANTASY at the DNC convention: The Dems are using the handicapped, immigrants, minorities, "women", "women" and more talk of "women", and celebrities and musicians to tug on the heart strings of voters, especially females to win their vote! THE REALITY in America today, outside the DNC convention: Let's take a serious...

But courtesy of miffed media with their panties in a twist, Hollywood stars who twinkle night or day and outfoxed Democrats, the call out to Russia for 30,000 missing emails will live right up to Election Day and beyond It’s raining all over Queen Hillary Clinton’s Big Fat Coronation party with one more day to go at Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center. Someone bring the oxygen tanks for George Soros and try to wake up choir boy Senator Tim Kaine while you’re at it. As a Chicago friend just pointed out to CFP, “Only Donald Trump has the unique ability to...

Following the formal announcement of Hillary Clinton’s nomination on July 26, Bernie Sanders delegates staged a walk-out, leaving nearly half of the Democratic National Convention empty just before Bill Clinton’s speech. While mainstream media outlets fawned over Bill, former Ohio State Senator Nina Turner led protests outside the arena. Because Turner has yet to endorse Hillary Clinton and remains very critical of the DNC, DNC officials refused to let her introduce Sanders. “DNC betrayed Bernie Sanders and the rest of America,” Turner tweeted on July 26, referring to WikiLeaks and Guccifer 2.0—both of which reveal the DNC rigged the primaries...

Hillary Clinton has made clear she intends to dramatically raise taxes on the American people if elected. She has proposed an income tax increase, a business tax increase, a death tax increase, a capital gains tax increase, a tax on stock trading, and an Exit Tax, and more (see below). Her planned net tax increase on the American people is at least $1 trillion over ten years, based on her campaign’s own figures. Hillary has endorsed many tax increases on that would hit middle income Americans, despite her pledge not to raise taxes on any American making less than $250,000....

<p>PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Bernie Sanders supporters asked fans of Hillary Clinton to explain why anyone should back her for president, then booed them at a rally Thursday on the final day of the Democratic National Convention.</p> <p>"This woman has been working for more than 50 years to help women and children," she said to the Sanders supporters, immediately drawing boos.</p>

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: You go to the media and they're just obsessed with Trump. They just are beside themselves with this. "Trump has endangered American national security. Trump is close to having committed treason." Seriously, I'm not just trying to be outrageous for the sake of it, which I never do, by the way. When all of a sudden did they start caring about this? These are the people with unsecured servers. These are the people whose servers have been hacked by the Russians. The Democrat National Committee, the Department of Justice, the Department of Defense, the ChiComs, the Russians,...

This entire speech presented a fictional reality, which makes perfect sense at a convention being held for the purpose of nominating the biggest liar ever to see the presidency Earlier today I talked about how the media will sometimes take their cues from Democrats. That can work the other way around, too. When the media establishes a dishonest narrative, a clever Democrat will not only run with the narrative but build on it. That’s basically what Obama did last night in his speech to the DNC. While Donald Trump’s acceptance speech last Thursday night was all about the problems America...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Okay. Folks, would somebody explain a few things to me? I really need some help in understanding things today. In the first place, I thought, because I was told, that Barack Obama's speech last night was fabulous. It was just great. It was uplifting. It was positive. It was Reaganesque. So why wasn't every Democrat in that convention hall last night angry and fit to be tied. That's not what they believe. Why weren't there mass protests? That's not who he is. He doesn't talk that way, except at election time. Republicans always have to face up...

Activist, author and investigative journalist James O’Keefe from Project Veritas went undercover as a Hillary supporter this week at the DNC Convention in Philadelphia. What transpired was shocking. James was dressed as a Hillary Clinton supporter and walked through the Bernie supporters outside the Wells Fargo Convention Center. The Bernie supporters REALLY do not like Hillary.

After a week of raucous protests that some had hoped and others had feared would disrupt the city and the Democratic National Convention, Thursday saw emptying streets, packing protesters, and the dying flame of their clamor. Across the city, smatterings of protesters held out - and one group planned a final march from South Philadelphia to the Wells Fargo Center Thursday night, a last chance to rally with delegates in the arena. But the demonstrations that had filled Philadelphia's streets day and night began fizzling on the convention's last day as severe thunderstorms rumbled into the city and exhaustion reigned....
