Kamala Harris has strong ties to U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves and his activist wife. Which is why a Harris Department of Justice could be more dangerous than Biden's DOJ. Democrats ended their four-day convention on Thursday with a vacuous speech by the party’s installed candidate, Kamala Harris. Her short stint on the main stage made the regime media, which has blessed her with 84 percent positive news coverage since the Pelosi coup according to one analysis, drunk with joy. Harris, like the roster of speakers before her, spent most of the speech demonizing her general...

Keith Ellison Supports BDS, Admires Louis Farrakhan. So Why Are Jewish Democrats Supporting Him for Chairman of the DNC? In late 1993 and early 1994, Keith Ellison and I were both deeply involved in politics and policy, he as a civil rights lawyer and radio talk-show host in Minnesota, and I as legal counsel to a United States senator. During that time, Louis Farrakhan’s national adviser, Khalid Abdul Muhammad, gave a speech at Kean College in New Jersey in which he attacked Jews, Catholics, homosexuals, and others in the most shocking and violent way. Here’s a sample of what Muhammad...

To comment on Kamala Harris's convention-closing speech, CNN This Morning stacked its panel today with three Democrats -- four, if you count host Kasie Hunt -- to lone Republican Scott Jennings. [snip] Former Obama official Elliot Williams took the praise of Harris to absurd heights, crowning Kamala a born-again Iron Lady. Referring to Harris's remarks on foreign policy, Williams said: "They had a woman standing on stage saying, this is a paraphrase, in the battle between U.S. and tyranny, I know where I stand and where the USA belongs. That is the rhetoric—that's Margaret Thatcher, dude."Elliot's Harris hyperbole was so...

A group called "Muslim Women for Harris-Walz" is disbanding after the Uncommitted National Movement said it was told a Palestinian American speaker couldn't address the Democratic National Convention.... "We cannot in good conscience, continue Muslim Women for Harris-Walz, in light of this new information from the Uncommitted movement, that VP Harris' team declined their request to have a Palestinian American speaker take the stage at the DNC," the group said in a statement posted on Instagram. The group said the family of an Israeli hostage "has shown more empathy towards Palestinian Americans and Palestinians, than our candidate or the DNC...

Shortly before midnight on Monday evening, Joe Biden finally took the stage at the DNC. Billed as his "final speech" and a tribute to his career, the failed president, who dropped out of the race in July, was nothing new. Instead, his time behind the podium was incredibly typical, with lots of angry shouting and repeating the same old lies. If you watched his last State of the Union, you've heard it all. [snip] According to Joseph Robinette Biden, the terrorist-supporting lunatics outside the DNC who are promising to "bring the war home" while burning American flags "have a point."...

The Democrats made sure Joe Biden's big night would have him starting late, when viewers would be headed for bed. With difficulty, I endured an evening of Democratic National Convention festivities on the first night. In politics, both sides exaggerate their good points and distract from their negatives, but Monday was like watching a melodrama with invented realities. I trust that the GOP and Trump campaign will take this event seriously and learn from the attacks upon the former president. Kamala Harris came out for two minutes to tell the audience to cheer Joe Biden when he comes out, despite...

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was introduced as "Command Sergeant Major" despite not retiring with the title from the military at a meeting for the Democratic National Convention (DNC) on Monday. The improper introduction comes as Walz has faced criticisms of "stolen valor" for using the title repeatedly during his political career. At the event on Monday, a woman spoke introducing Walz, saying, "I am so proud to welcome our vice-presidential candidate, soon to be nominee for vice president, Command Master Sergeant — and I'm going to start with the title that is very important to me — the Command Sergeant...

CHICAGO — Mayor Brandon Johnson personally intervened in a dispute between his own administration and a coalition of activist groups set for a massive protest at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago next week, helping reverse the city’s denial of a permit to set up stages and sound systems for rallies in a park near the United Center, the coalition’s leader said Friday. The agreement, which was reached after hours of back-room negotiations between the parties, nullified an emergency motion filed in U.S. District Court earlier this week alleging the city had violated protesters’ First Amendment rights by restricting how...

The City of Chicago and Democratic National Committee officials are expecting mass protests next week during the convention, as more than 150 groups have formed a nationwide coalition to march down city streets leading to the United Center – the site where delegates are expected to officially nominate Vice President Kamala Harris as their Democratic nominee for president. The nationwide coalition expected to march in Chicago next week includes groups like Black Lives Matter Chicago, Freedom Socialist Party, Denver Communists, Palestinian Assembly for Liberation, Democratic Socialists of America, Milwaukee for Yemen and National Students for Justice in Palestine. The groups...

“There’s some perversion that’s happened in our country in the last several years.” — Candidate Kamala Harris. You might well wonder: how does the Democratic Party rank and file sustain such fervor for the wrecking crew of Harris & Walz conjured up with zero input from the Party’s demos? Just plopped onstage as by the old MGM studio heads casting a pair of iffy contract players in a “B” movie musical called Our Pronouns Are Cash and Carry. So far, Harris and Walz levitate in fake polls on gusts of idiot wind from the Party’s unofficial public relations team of...

After the motion was met with resentment, Democratic National Convention chairman Antonio Villaraigosa had to call the vote three times to reinstate language into their party platform that recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel as well as the words "God-given" in a passage about employment

Fearing a floor revolt against his nomination, Joe Biden’s aides are telephoning individual delegates to next month’s Democratic convention to gauge their loyalty to the president, according to three delegates who received a call this week. After a round of introductory questions confirming each delegate was still planning on going to Chicago and asking if they had served as delegate before, the Biden aide making the calls got to the point, the Democratic activists recalled to me in separate interviews. One of the delegates said the line of questioning turned with an inquiry along the lines of, “Do you understand...

Dementia Joe Biden is facing a revolt from some of his own party’s prominent donors, including the heiress to the Disney family fortune. These donors have declared they will cease funding the Democrat Party until Biden withdraws his candidacy for the presidential race. Abigail Disney, the granddaughter of The Walt Disney Company co-founder Roy O. Disney, announced her intentions on CNBC last Thursday. Despite years of financial support for the party, she plans to withhold future donations until Biden steps down. “I intend to stop any contributions to the party unless and until they replace Biden at the top of...

CHICAGO — About 300 anti-war activists crowded into the basement of the Teamsters Union’s headquarters on Saturday to hear organizers from all over the country describe their plans to disrupt the Democratic National Convention this August. Joe Biden’s backing of Israel since Hamas’s October 7 attack has turned these left-wing radicals against their own party.

We've had a couple of days to digest that damning classified documents investigation report and the Biden administration's disaster of a response to it. This morning I did some browsing around to try to determine where the dust is settling in terms of the White House, the Democrats, the GOP, the media, and even foreign countries. Karen already picked apart what the Biden team's response has been thus far and what will likely happen going forward. That will mostly be nothing aside from optics and cosmetic attempts (in some cases literally) at getting people to forget about it and go...

Democrat insiders say it is now 'panic time' after a blockbuster Justice Department report concluded Joe Biden has 'diminished faculties' and is an 'elderly man with a poor memory'. Increasingly, behind the scenes, a nuclear option is being considered to remove the 81-year-old president as the Democrat nominee at the party's convention in Chicago in August. The leading candidates to replace him include California Governor Gavin Newsom and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. 'I think it is now panic time. Biden should not be our standard bearer,' a former senior Democrat White House official, who worked with Biden, told Dailymail.com. 'He...

When officials of the donkey party toured Chicago last month in preparation for the 2024 convention, no one wanted to talk about the elephant in the city. The 100 Democratic Party delegates got a tour of the massive United Center arena which is also about the one building in the city that isn’t overrun with hordes of illegal aliens. With an estimated 1,250 migrant invaders arriving by bus every day, they’re sleeping on the floors of every police station and over 800 of the illegals are staying at O’Hare Airport. In a city where winter temperatures can fall into the...

Wang Wenliang, a Chinese national briefly shook Clinton’s hand at a 2013 fund-raiser in her home;a separate Wang company pledged $500,000 to the Clinton Foundation, the first of several totaling $2 million. The Clinton fundraiser was one of at least three interactions between Wang and McAuliffe. McAuliffe initially said he could not remember ever meeting Wang, though he later clarified that his staff had informed him of several likely meetings. Among the donations of DOJ interestwere a total of $120,000 in contributions to McAuliffe from a company controlled by Wang. DOJ told McAuliffe's attorney there were questions over foreign sources...

Gamblers are shying away from Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden after he failed to get a substantial poll bounce from the Democratic National Convention, cutting in half his once-massive lead over President Trump. The latest from the betting-market site Smarkets still shows odds favoring a Biden win, but they are tightening, and Trump still has three more nights to make his case at the virtual Republican National Convention. The analysis shared with Secrets said, “Joe Biden’s lead over Donald Trump in our ‘Next President’ market has more than halved since its peak at the beginning of August. Trading activity on...

Gag me with a Shining City! On today's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough slobbered over Joe Biden's acceptance speech at the DNC convention last night. Scarborough had the chutzpah to repeatedly refer to Biden's address as "Reaganesque." Scarborough failed to recognize the glaring irony in two of his statements: 1. "The focus wasn’t on a flurry of policy prescriptions from the 1984 Democratic convention." Of course not! Because if Biden had exposed his far-left positions—from pro-abortion extremism to support for the economy-destroying Green New Deal—it would have been unpalatable to most Americans. Get the rest of the story and view the...
