Chicago is bracing for as many as 25,000 migrants to arrive in the Windy City ahead of next month's Democratic National Convention, with one local alderman warning the city is already "tapped out" of resources. "We can't handle any more illegal immigrants sent to Chicago right now," Anthony Napolitano told "Fox & Friends First" Friday. "The only highlight this is going to bring is at the national scale – that we can show everybody how sanctuary cit[ies are] a failure." City officials addressed preparations for the potential surge this week after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott vowed at the Republican National...

An attorney for the Democratic National Committee has reportedly submitted a public records request to the Florida Division of Elections, seeking details surrounding the division’s official approval of a state Reform Party affiliate earlier this year. According to the Miami Herald on Friday, the request was initially submitted by the attorney in May but has gone unanswered by the Florida Division of Elections. The specific details surrounding what information was requested by the party was not disclosed. That same month, the Reform Party announced that it had endorsed the independent presidential ticket of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Nicole Shanahan...

In 2020, covert actors manipulated the Democratic primary to ensure Joe Biden's nomination and later controlled his presidential agenda, ultimately forcing him to step down in favor of Kamala Harris. In March 2020, all the major Democratic primary candidates abruptly, mysteriously, and in near unison withdrew from the presidential race, ceding the nomination to Joe Biden. Yet Biden had lost the first three races in Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada—and only won his first victory in South Carolina. Suddenly, on the eve of the Super Tuesday mega-primaries, the candidacies of front-runner Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg, Elizabeth Warren, and others simply...

The left-wing organization Black Lives Matter is resisting the installation of Vice President Kamala Harris as the presumptive Democratic nominee and are calling on the Democratic National Convention "to create a process that allows for public participation in the nomination process, not just a nomination by party delegates." In a statement Tuesday, the group, which rose to prominence in 2020 for organizing nationwide protests in the wake of the killing of George Floyd, said that "a 24-hour process of talking to party bosses is not democratic, nor is it a process Democrats should be proud of." For weeks after his...

"The leaders of our party will be able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges." Two days ago, I wrote that ‘The Dem Civil War is Over Who Will Replace Biden”. The battle would be between the faction lining up behind Kamala and the one pushing some sort of limited primary. Biden’s tweet endorsed Kamala. Hillary came forward to back her too. DNC chair Jamie Harrison, who actually has the power here, however issued a statement saying that, “the Party will undertake a transparent and orderly process to move forward as a united Democratic Party with a...

Joe Biden has endorsed Kamala Harris for president. This does NOT mean that Kamala Harris is the Democratic nominee. The official nominee will be declared at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on August 19. Democrats should be livid that their party never offered them an alternative to Biden. They refused to permit any candidate to challenge Biden and ignored anyone who came forward. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. changed party affiliations for numerous reasons, but one major reason was that he simply was ignored in favor of the establishment’s selected candidate. Of course, Joe Biden had to appoint Kamala Harris....

Black Lives Matter (BLM) urged the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to organize a nationwide virtual primary on Tuesday after Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly secured enough delegates for the Democratic presidential nomination. Harris claimed early Tuesday morning that she had obtained enough support from DNC delegates to be voted the party’s presidential nominee, following President Joe Biden stepping down from the race and endorsing Harris. BLM, which exploded in prominence following the death of George Floyd in 2020, said in a statement that while President Joe Biden wasn’t their top choice as a candidate, they cannot overlook the concerning actions...

President Joe Biden's reelection campaign officially ended on Sunday, July 21 when he announced that he was dropping out of the race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president. Harris has since picked up a lot of endorsements from fellow Democrats —including one from former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California) — and reportedly, Biden's announcement was followed by a cash haul of over $75 million in less than 24 hours. But some Republicans are accusing Democrats of not playing fair, including House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana). On X, formerly Twitter, Johnson posted, "At this unprecedented juncture in American history,...

Kamala Harris's rambling 'word salad' speeches may be a symptom of a little-known but common psychological condition called logorrhoea — also known as verbal diarrhoea. The US Vice President, who was endorsed by Joe Biden after he bowed out of the presidential race on Sunday, is known for her jumbled, sometimes incoherent speaking style.... It can be a symptom of anxiety or over-confidence, but logorrhoea can be no laughing matter — and may indicate a brain injury, autism or serious condition, although there is no indication that Ms Harris suffers from these conditions. Logorrhoea is also associated with laughing wildly...

Democrats’ success in removing Biden from the ballot should serve as a wake-up call to America about the security of our elections.If you need further proof that Democrats will go to extreme lengths to rig elections in their favor, look no further than the silent coup that occurred Sunday, when it was announced that Joe Biden would not seek reelection this November.“It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President,” read a letter posted by Biden’s X account. “And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best...

This type of coup was supposed to have been rendered impossible back when our grandfathers were in middle age. Now we know better.The following was republished with permission from Armas. The coup d’état against President Biden illuminates the themes exposited in the essay on Sen. J.D. Vance’s thought and rhetoric, to which I refer the reader. Coup terminology in this case is not overwrought: a sitting president of the United States has had his political future terminated, which means his political present is ended as well. Absent potential there is no power, and therefore no purpose. The logical corollary to...

Former White House press secretary and MSNBC host Jen Psaki said Sunday on the network’s coverage of President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the presidential race that the Democratic Party will run a process with the “goal” of making Vice President Kamala Harris look strong while “technically” leaving room for other candidates. Psaki said, “The DNC and the Democratic Party has to run — they’re going to run a process, is my understanding. And the process is going to be the goal of it is to make the vice president look strong and be strong at the end of the process....

…According to the Democratic National Committee rules, the party's delegates would still meet as scheduled for a virtual roll call to vote for who they think should be the nominee. What If Democrats Don't Choose Harris? Because Harris wouldn't just immediately become the nominee, there's a chance that another candidate is picked. The Democratic Party's delegates could choose another candidate that they see as giving the party a better chance against Trump in November. Other high-profile Democrats floated as possibly stronger alternatives to Harris include California Governor Gavin Newsom and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. But they have said that they...

With the end of their convention, the Republican Party and Donald Trump have reached what in military theory is called the “culminating point.” “The culminating point of victory,” according to the Modern War Institute at West Point, “is the threshold when military advantages peak and then rapidly turn into disadvantages.” As an infantryman, I was taught that the culminating point is a paradox; it’s a moment of maximum vulnerability at a time when you believe you are at maximum strength. Let’s say your platoon has just taken a hill. Exhausted and jubilant, you’ve achieved your objective. Your troops have sent...

Democrat National Convention delegates are openly discussing what would happen at the August convention if Biden either refuses to step aside or drops out of the race — pointing to a “good-conscience loophole” that lets them vote for a new candidate of their choosing. DNC delegate Elaine Kamarck briefed other delegates .. that the apparent “loophole” allows for such a rebellion by letting convention-goers bolt if they no longer have a “good conscience” about their pledged choice determined by primaries and caucuses. ... DNC’s rules state: “Delegates elected to the national convention pledged to a presidential candidate shall in all...

A sloppy update to software made by US cybersecurity giant CrowdStrike has taken PCs and servers used by airlines, railways, banks, broadcasters and even medical facilities around the world offline. For anyone following US politics over the past decade or so, the company’s name should be eerily familiar.CrowdStrike is making global headlines (and causing global headaches) this week after an update released Friday morning afflicted thousands of corporate machines running Microsoft products with the infamous blue screen of death error. While the company has already put out a fix, the buggy update is expected to cause billions of dollars and...

The DNC’s Rules Committee on Friday made the case for proceeding with Joe Biden’s virtual nomination while also outlining next steps in the process and how virtual roll call voting would work despite rumors of Biden dropping out, ABC News reported. In a letter distributed to other members of the rules committee on Wednesday morning and signed by Leah Daughtry and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, co-chairs of the Democratic National Convention Rules Committee, the committee declared its intent to “propose a framework for the best path forward” in their upcoming Friday meeting. Of course, this sudden new rule is being...

Dems return to Tammany Hall tactics with backroom dealings to boot Biden Smoke-filled Rooms? Should Biden opt to step aside, it is far from certain that Vice President Kamala Harris would be the automatic stand-in on the party ticket. As Democratic powerbrokers attempt to pressure President Joe Biden into bowing out of reelection, his departure could set up a messy selection process for his replacement that circumvents the primary electorate and threatens to send the party back to the days of Tammany Hall. Biden, 81, has faced calls to step aside as the party nominee in the wake of his...

On Friday’s Mark Levin Show, you are watching a Communist battle taking place within a Marxist party. The Democrat party and the media have brought us to this point. 14 million Democrats cast their votes for Biden, millions of dollars were contributed to get Biden the nomination and now they are calling for a mini primary. A mini-primary in which there is no primary, in which the real primary voters are disenfranchised, and the man who was saving democracy and abortion-on-demand is kicked to the curb. Like other Marxist political parties, the civil war within the Democrat Party, between the...

The Democratic National Committee is pressing forward with a virtual roll call to renominate President Biden as more Democrats call on him to end his reelection campaign. The Democratic National Convention’s Rules Committee met Friday to start discussing the rules for the virtual roll call and agreed to meet again by July 26 to vote on the rules. If approved, the DNC chair, Jaime Harrison, and the convention chair, Minyon Moore, will set a date for the virtual roll call.
