Jonathan Turley: Hunter Biden Will Face Prison Time after ‘Legal Death Wish’ Guilty Plea
Legal scholar Jonathan Turley has noted that Hunter Biden should still be facing a prison sentence, despite his last-minute move to plead guilty in his federal tax charges case.
Turley, a professor at George Washington University Law School, responded after Hunter Biden made a sudden change to a guilty plea to avoid his case going to trial this week.
Prof. Turley said Thursday that despite a sudden change in plea, the younger Biden would likely face jail time over tax charges if federal prosecutors pressed for a prison sentence.
Hunter Biden Reluctantly Pleads Guilty To Avoid Messy Trial
On Thursday, Hunter Biden was set to stand trial for tax crimes in federal court in Los Angeles, California, in a case brought by Special Counsel David Wise. The proceedings were quickly derailed just before jury selection began, however, when defense lawyer Abbe Lowell advised Judge Mark C. Scarsi that Biden wished to change his plea from “not guilty” to an “Alford plea” and thereby avoid a trial altogether.
An Alford plea is one in which the defendant maintains his innocence but agrees to plead guilty anyway and accept punishment just as if he had been found guilty by a judge or jury. The constitutionality of such a plea was confirmed by the Supreme Court in the case of North Carolina v. Alford, 400 U.S. 25 (1970), hence the name “Alford plea.” In an Alford plea, the defendant does not admit that he is guilty, but he accepts legal guilt for the charged offenses and submits to being sentenced for them.
The Supreme Court explained that, “while most pleas of guilty consist of both a waiver of trial and an express admission of guilt, the latter element is not a constitutional requisite to the imposition of criminal penalty. An individual accused of crime may voluntarily, knowingly, and understandingly consent to the imposition of a prison sentence even if he is unwilling or unable to admit his participation in the acts constituting the crime.” Pointing out that sometimes simply not going to trial could benefit a defendant, the Court concluded that even pleas coupled with some assertion of innocence or of lesser culpability can still be constitutional, where “a defendant intelligently concludes that his interests require entry of a guilty plea and the record before the judge contains strong evidence of actual guilt.”

Harvard University Not Cooperating With DA’s Investigation Into Students Charged With Assault of Jewish Classmate
Harvard University has refused to cooperate with the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office’s investigation into the assault of an Israeli business school student that occurred during a protest in October 2023. That decision has delayed the ongoing criminal case against two of the students caught on camera accosting their Jewish classmate, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.
Assistant District Attorney Ursula Knight, who leads the office’s Civil Rights and High-Risk Victims Unit and is prosecuting two of the students who participated in the assault, during a Wednesday hearing admonished the university.
“Harvard police essentially refused to investigate,” she said, according to an attendee, adding that the school’s behavior “has been a shock to the Commonwealth.”

Pro-Hamas Students Block Entry To Campus, Vandalize Statue on First Day of Classes
Anti-Israel students brought chaos to Columbia University on Tuesday morning, returning the campus to its new normal: dozens of keffiyeh-clad protesters blocked the entrance to the school, praising Hamas, vandalizing a statue, and clashing with police. At least one group involved aims to bring violence to America, while others called on their followers to help shut down the university.
Agitators with Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) and the school’s Students for Justice in Palestine chapter prevented students from entering campus, promising that “this is just the beginning.” A flyer posted to social media advertising the protest encouraged attendees to “wear a mask,” “bring noisemakers,” and to “shut it down.” And Columbia’s Students for Justice in Palestine chapter released a statement praising Hamas founder Ahmed Yassin and the terrorist group’s current chairman, Yahya Sinwar.
NOW: On first day of classes, Pro-Palestine protesters have created a picket outside of Columbia University, demanding to “Shut It Down” and telling students – “Don’t Go to Classes, Do Not Enter, Call Out Sick”.
Huge line of students has formed around the block to go in.
Anti-Israel Harvard students condemn new vice president: ‘War criminals not welcome’
An anti-Israel group of Harvard University students condemned the recent appointment of the school’s new vice president and general counsel due to her former leadership roles at the U.S. Defense Department and a defense company that sold weapons to Israel.
Harvard Out of Occupied Palestine, or HOOP, hung a banner stating, “War Criminals Not Welcome Here” alongside the name of the new appointee, Jennifer O’Connor, who took the helm July 29, the Harvard Gazettereported.
The group also hung a second banner over the summer reading, “Harvard Funds Genocide,” according to images posted on Instagram. The post’s caption criticized O’Connor for a “lack of experience” in higher education and her former position as general counsel for the Department of Defense.
“Yesterday, Harvard announced its appointment of Jennifer O’Connor as the new Vice President and general counsel of the university,” the Instagram post stated.
“She has 0 experience in higher education positions, yet her time as the former general counsel to the US Department of Defense and former Tech Law VP to weapons company Northrop Grumman make her a perfect fit at this complicit institution.”
Muslim groups: Emory ‘institution of particular concern’ due to treatment of pro-Hamas activists– www.thecollegefix.com Source Link Excerpt:
The Council on American-Islamic Relations and American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee have designated Emory University as an “institution of particular concern” due to its “hostility” towards anti-Israel student activists.
According to The Emory Wheel (which follows CAIR’s lead and refers to the activists as “anti-genocide”), the groups allege that Emory, along with George Washington University and UCLA, “set the standard for creating a thoroughly hostile and dangerous environment” for Muslims and Palestinians.
Back in April, CAIR-Georgia and Palestine Legal filed a federal civil rights complaint on behalf of Emory’s Students for Justice in Palestine, alleging the school created a “hostile anti-Palestinian and Islamophobic environment.”
Two months later, CAIR-Georgia claimed Emory was “tokenizing” and “furthering a pattern of exclusion” against Muslim students because its search for a full-time Muslim chaplain wasn’t “inclusive” enough.
At a recent press conference, CAIR’s Farah Afify alleged Emory has cultivated a “culture in which discrimination and harassment towards Palestinian Arabs and Muslims was reportedly permitted and even enabled.”

Democratic Gov. Jared Polis of Colorado claimed Sunday that the city of Aurora “turned the corner” regarding crime, despite reports of a Venezuelan gang taking over an apartment complex, and said that Democrats should have an advantage on immigration.
Polis initially denied that the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua had taken over an apartment complex in Aurora, Colorado despite a local TV station airing video of the gang’s activity, calling it the product of a local leader’s “imagination.” Polis praised Aurora as a “diverse” city and said crime had declined the past two years.

Powell spoke to reporters after the Fed announced it would lower its federal funds rate by 0.50% following disappointing job growth in both July and August. Unemployment currently sits at 4.2% — up from 3.4% in April 2023 — in what Powell suggested was largely a product of migrants crossing into the United States.
Pennsylvania Mother Describes Heartbreaking Impacts Of Migrant Crisis– www.louderwithcrowder.com Source Link Excerpt:
… A Pennsylvania mother described the awful impacts on her kid from leftist policies.
“My child already lost two years of school…She was supposed to go to head start and they told her she couldn’t go…because 20 immigrants came in and took her out of school!”
During the Panny D, the left pretended education was not “essential” even though they knew it was. Now, many districts are still keeping kids out of school but this time it’s because foreign nationals take priority over America’s children.
Progressive social experiments nearly always hurt kids the most, which makes it that much more evil. And don’t think this can’t happen in a town near you, because these things are becoming more prevalent.
In another instance, a mom had to keep her kid out of school because the preschool refused to “accommodate” her kid for only speaking English IN AMERICA. They demanded she supply a translator at an American school at her expense.
“They tell her that she has to hire a translator with her own money in order to send him to preschool because he’s the only student who doesn’t speak Spanish.”
Not Just Ohio: Biden-Harris Have Flown Hundreds of Thousands of Haitians All Across the Country– lidblog.com Source Link Excerpt:
Recently the problems that Springfield, Ohio, is suffering with the thousands of Haitians shipped there by the Biden-Harris regime has been at the top of the news. But, it isn’t just one little town in Ohio being hit with this problem. Biden and Harris have been inundating small towns all across the country with these migrants and the ills they bring…
Since fiscal 2021, more than 485,000 Haitian illegal border crossers, a record, have been reported by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The overwhelming majority were reported this fiscal year, nearly 216,000, compared to 48,727 in fiscal 2021.
Since fiscal 2021 through August, the majority have been apprehended at the southwest border of nearly 262,000, followed by nearly 221,000 nationwide and nearly 2,300 at the northern border, according to the data.
Additionally, since July, 205,000 Haitians have been released through the CHNV parole program, according to CBP data. Of the more than 765,000 illegal foreign nationals released into the country through the CBP One app, the top nationality is Haitian. Through these programs, U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas also extended Temporary Permanent Status to them and granted work authorization.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott appeared on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, where he discussed the ongoing migrant crisis and its impact on US communities.
Abbott took aim at the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of illegal border crossings, dismissing its claims that the reduction in border crossings was due to federal policies. Instead, he credited Texas’ state-led initiatives, claiming they have been instrumental in reducing illegal immigration by approximately 85 percent since last year.

Ohio’s Republican Governor Defends Haitian Immigrants: ‘Helped the Economy’ – newsweek Source Link Excerpt:
Ohio’s Governor Mike DeWine, a Republican, defended Haitian immigrants in his state during a Sunday interview after former President Donald Trump, the GOP’s presidential nominee, and his running mate Ohio Senator JD Vance, have amplified discredited accusations against the community in recent days.
Trump and Vance have repeatedly promoted claims that Haitian immigrants, who are in the United States legally, have been “eating the pets” of their neighbors in Springfield, Ohio. During Trump’s debate with Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris on ABC News on Tuesday, Trump said dogs and cats were being eaten by the migrants, despite local officials already saying there were no credible reports of this happening.
“In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs—the people that came in,” Trump claimed about Haitian immigrants. “They’re eating the cats. They’re eating the pets of the people that live there, and this is what’s happening in our country, and it’s a shame.”
One of the debate moderators, ABC News’ David Muir, quickly fact-checked Trump’s claim and told viewers that the outlet had spoken to Springfield’s city manager about those allegations who told them that “there had been no credible reports of specific claims of pets being harmed, injured or abused by individuals within the immigrant community.”

JUST IN: Biden Administration Approves $380M for DHS to Support Migrants
The Biden administration announced last week that it will allocate $380 million to nonprofits and local governments to help cover costs related to caring for migrants after their release by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) at the southern border.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is distributing the massive $380 million through its Shelter and Services Program (SSP). This initiative is designed to provide “critical support” to migrants, offering essentials like food, shelter, clothing, urgent medical care, and transportation as they wait for their immigration court hearings.

New York Paying Migrant Familes $4000 to Aid Transition Out of Shelters – www.thegatewaypundit.com Source Link Excerpt:
Migrants arrive at the Roosevelt Hotel in NYC, which serves as a central processing center.
While millions of Americans are suffering in a disastrous Biden-Harris economy, illegals in New York are getting extra help that is not available to citizens.
On Friday, city officials confirmed to Fox News Digital that a pilot project has been launched that provides migrants $4000 to help transition out of city shelters.
The NYC Department of Homeless Services (DHS) offered 150 families cash assistance through the Asylee Moveout Assistance (AMA), a pilot created in December last year to help find permanent housing for asylum seekers. The pilot was launched in partnership with some city shelters providing services for asylum seekers.
“The city is using every tool at its disposal to implement innovative and cost-effective solutions to help recently-arrived asylum seekers residing in shelters take the next steps in their journey,” a Department of Social Services (DSS) spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
DHS officials in December started dispensing $4000 to 150 households who live in the city’s emergency DHS shelters.
“Since December, DSS has been working with a few not-for-profit providers operating emergency sites to pilot a new effort to reduce barriers to obtaining housing by helping asylum-seeking families who have identified permanent housing with the upfront cost of moving into their new home,” the DSS spokesperson said.
Thanks, Biden-Harris—Cops Estimate Up to 75 Percent of Manhattan Crimes Committed by Illegal Immigrants
Kamala Harris, the presidential candidate foisted on America by the Democrat political machine—a vice president who has never in her life won a delegate in a Democratic primary—has been releasing ludicrous ads lately claiming she’d be tough on the border.
What an absolute joke.
Tell that to the police who patrol the streets of Manhattan, some of whom claim that up to 75 percent of all the crimes committed in the Big Apple are by illegal aliens.
Life in the big city:
Across New York, recently arrived migrants are flooding the criminal-justice system — at far higher rates than public officials have acknowledged.
Police sources shared with The Post a staggering estimate that as many as 75% of the people they’ve been arresting in Midtown Manhattan in recent months for crimes like assault, robbery and domestic violence are migrants. In parts of Queens, the figure is more than 60%, sources there estimate.
On any given day, Big Apple criminal court dockets are packed with asylum seekers who have run afoul of the law.
What does it mean when the people who invade also commit a majority of the crime?
Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration on Tuesday, demanding accountability for its lack of response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
The request, initially submitted by the Attorney General’s office in March, seeks documents related to the Biden administration’s policies that permit dangerous criminals to be released directly into U.S. communities from prison.
Attorney General Moody voiced her frustration with the Biden administration, stating, “In addition to flat out refusing to secure the border, reports indicate that President Biden and failed Border Czar Kamala Harris refuse to deport dangerous illegal immigrant prisoners once they are released from prison.”
Yet, the insane policies of Democrat governors like Colorado’s Jared Polis and Illinois’s J.B. Pritzker are most to blame. And don’t forget California’s Gavin Newsom, Michigan’s Gretchen Whitmer, New York’s Kathy Hochul, and Minnesota’s inimitable Tampon Timmy Walz, among others. The latter of whom is now Kamala Harris’s Vice-Presidential nominee. (And whose wife said she left her windows open when the 2020 Minneapolis riots went unquelled by her husband…so she could smell the city burning.)
Illegal immigrant who attacked cop in Times Square sentenced to one year in jail—NYPD union outraged
“364 days is not enough. This individual should be behind bars a lot longer. If you attack a New York City police officer, you should stay behind bars.”
An illegal immigrant from Venezuela is going to jail for 364 days for kicking a New York Police Department (NYPD) cop during a Jan. 27 Times Square brawl. The police union says the sentence is way too light, the New York Post reports.
Darwin Andres Gomez-Izquiel, 19, said nothing but smirked when he heard the sentence after he had pleaded guilty to second-degree assault last month to the brawl between police officers and a gang of illegal immigrants. Fully 75 percent of arrests in midtown Manhattan are illegal immigrants.
The police union says the sentence doesn’t send a strong enough signal that cops are not on the street to be kicked around by illegal immigrants. Police Benevolent Association chief Patrick Hendry said Gomez-Izquiel should have more time in prison to contemplate his actions.
ICE Cracks Down On ‘Violent’ Illegal Migrants On Ritzy Island In ‘Sanctuary’ State– americanactionnews.com Source Link Excerpt:
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) made an unknown number of arrests in Nantucket, Massachusetts, this week for “immigration violations,” specifically targeting “violent offenders,” according to a press release from local officials Thursday.
The Nantucket Police Department revealed that ICE agents had contacted local Nantucket officials on Sept. 9 “concerning their planned arrival on island,” according to the press release. Local officials stated that ICE agents’ purpose was to “serve administrative arrest warrants for immigration violations,” adding that the local detective unit assisted by providing “requested addresses.”
“Their purpose on island was to serve administrative arrest warrants for immigration violations. The arrest warrants were specifically for ‘violent offenders.’ The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency, not unlike many local, state or federal agencies, requested our assistance with local knowledge of geographical areas of our town,” the press statement reads.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is locked in a fierce battle for reelection this year, but he doesn’t necessarily consider that his biggest challenge. “In the 12 years I’ve been in the Senate, I have consistently led the fight to secure our border,” he told the Washington Examiner. “It is today I believe in an existential threat to Texas and to our nation.”
Cruz is campaigning heavily on his work, sometimes on a bipartisan basis, to mitigate the pressure on the border. This includes authoring successful amendments mandating information-sharing between the Coast Guard and U.S. Customs and Border Protection to safeguard the maritime border as well as promoting new security initiatives from South Padre Island to Port Mansfield. This includes funding for an air station at one Texas Coast Guard facility and an aerostat radar system.
But Cruz is keenly aware of the national implications of a porous border and believes that if it is not gotten under control, the results will not be good for his country or party.

US secures the release of 135 Nicaraguan political prisoners – abcnews.go.com
GUATEMALA CITY — The U.S. government announced Thursday that it secured the release of 135 Nicaraguan political prisoners, who have arrived in Guatemala where they will apply for entry to the United States or other countries.
National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said in a statement that they were released on humanitarian grounds.
“No one should be put in jail for peacefully exercising their fundamental rights of free expression, association, and practicing their religion,” Sullivan said.
Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs Eric Jacobstein, speaking with reporters, said that the Nicaraguan government received nothing in exchange for the prisoners’ release and the negotiation signaled no change in U.S. policy toward the government of President Daniel Ortega.
“Though the pressure itself has been consistent, the planning and execution of this release was rapid, and we’ve worked quickly to facilitate the travel of these individuals and really ensure their safety at every step of the journey,” Jacobstein said, adding that Nicaragua continues to “unjustly” detain people.

Biden-Harris Admin Stonewalls Congressional Probe Into US Nonprofits Bankrolling Pro-Hamas Protests
The Biden-Harris administration is stonewalling a congressional probe into 20 anti-Israel nonprofit groups with suspected links to money laundering and terrorism financing, the Washington Free Beacon has learned. Lawmakers are teasing a subpoena as a result.
Congress initiated the probe in mid-May, instructing the Treasury Department to hand over “suspicious activity reports” related to organizations that are bankrolling “illegal and antisemitic activities” across America, including on college campuses and in major cities nationwide. Those organizations include Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).
Lawmakers say the financial reports are vital to their oversight investigation. More than three months after lawmakers first requested the documents, the Treasury Department still “has not produced” a single record related to the investigation, according to Reps. James Comer (R., Ky.) and Virginia Foxx (R., N.C.), the respective chairs of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability and Committee on Education and the Workforce.
If the Biden-Harris administration continues to impede the investigation, the lawmakers are prepared to subpoena the relevant records, according to a letter sent Wednesday to the Treasury Department and exclusively obtained by the Free Beacon.
15 states have come together to sue the Biden administration over its intentions to provide free healthcare to illegal aliens, specifically so-called “Dreamers.” The complaint claimed, “Aliens granted deferred action under DACA are not included in the definition of such qualified aliens… DACA recipients are, by definition, unlawfully present in the United States.”
A partnership of 15 states, led by Kansas, has filed a lawsuit to block the federal government from providing taxpayer-funded healthcare through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to illegal immigrants. Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach, joined by attorneys general from 14 other states, filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota, Western Division. The lawsuit targets the U.S. government and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) as defendants.
The core of the lawsuit is a recent CMS rule that expands the definition of individuals “lawfully present” in the U.S. to include recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). The change would make DACA recipients eligible for ACA benefits, a move the coalition of states argued is both illegal and financially burdensome.
The complaint argued that DACA recipients, who are unlawfully present in the U.S. by definition, should not be eligible for federal public benefits under the ACA. The states assert that this CMS rule violates the 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA), which restricts eligibility for federal benefits to certain qualified aliens. The lawsuit contends that DACA recipients do not fall within this category.
“Aliens granted deferred action under DACA are not included in the definition of such qualified aliens,” the complaint states. It further argued that “DACA recipients are, by definition, unlawfully present in the United States.”
The Bureau of Labor Statistics released a report that shows new jobs reported between March of 2023 and March of 2024 were overreported by 818,000 jobs. This means nearly 1/3 of the total amount of jobs the Biden/Harris administration claims to have made during this time, 2.9 million total jobs, just disappeared, or were really never there at all.
The Biden-Harris administration admitted on Wednesday that more than 800,000 of the jobs it claimed to have created last year don’t exist.
An annual revision by the Bureau of Labor Statistics revealed that the U.S. economy added 818,000 fewer jobs from March 2023 to March 2024 than originally reported. According to CNBC, “the actual job growth was nearly 30% less than the initially reported 2.9 million from April 2023 through March of this year.”
“The revision to the total payrolls level of -0.5% is the largest since 2009,” the report reads.
This review of Wednesday’s figures found that “[a]t the sector level, the biggest downward revision” came in “professional and business service,” in which “job growth was 358,000 less than initially reported.” The manufacturing; trade (including retail positions), transportation and utilities; and leisure and hospitality sectors also saw downward revisions.
Wednesday’s revisions are not an anomaly, however. The Biden-Harris administration has regularly overestimated job growth in recent years, only to later revise those totals downward in the months that followed.
Last year, for example, “the government … overestimated the job growth for the 12-month period ending March 2023 by 306,000,” according to Forbes. A December 2022 analysis by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia estimated that the administration overstated the number of jobs created during that year’s second quarter by more than one million, The National Desk reported.
Kamala Harris’ Lead Vanishes, Hit Hard by New Polls as Trump’s Momentum Takes Over
New polling shows that Vice President Kamala Harris’ slight lead over former President Donald Trump in battleground states has evaporated, despite nearly a solid month of positive media coverage since entering the race.
Previous polling by the Cook Political Report published last week had Harris ahead of Trump in Arizona, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, according to Axios.
Similarly a New York Times/Siena College poll, also released last week, found Harris with a slight lead in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
However, a newer survey conducted by Navigator Research published Tuesday shows the race is essentially tied across Arizona, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Broken down individually, Trump is ahead of Harris by one percentage point in Arizona (46 to 45 percent) and two points in Pennsylvania (46 to 44 percent), while the other three states are tied.
Trump Says He Would Be Open To A Cabinet Position For RFK Jr. Amidst Endorsement Rumors
Former President Donald Trump told reporters that he would be open to offering independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. a spot in his cabinet if he suspends his campaign and endorses the former president.
“I like him, I respect him,” Trump told CNN’s Kristen Holmes during a campaign stop in Michigan.
“He’s a brilliant guy. He’s a very smart guy. I’ve known him for a very long time,” the Republican presidential nominee added. “I didn’t know he was thinking about getting out, but if he is thinking about getting out, certainly I’d be open to it.”
Trump’s comments come after Kennedy’s running mate, Nicole Shanahan, revealed during a podcast appearance Tuesday that Kennedy is considering an exit. The campaign is currently debating whether to stay in the race, or suspend operations and endorse former President Trump.
“There’s two options that we’re looking at,” Shanahan said. One option would involve staying in the race in order to lay the groundwork for another bid in 2028, “or we walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump,” Shanahan explained.
Georgia Election Board Puts Dent in Democrat Plans to Cheat in Elections
The Georgia State Election Board has implemented a reform that will make it a little bit harder for Democrats to cheat in this year’s elections.
The SEB adopted a new rule that would limit the number of votes in each district to the number of actually registered voters that area has in the system. So, the number of ballots would have to be the same or fewer than the number of voters.
The rule ensures that counties comply with Georgia state code. It comes after Fulton County was found to have likely scanned thousands of ballots twice in a recount of the 2020 election.
“The purpose of the rule is to ensure that county superintendents and boards of elections follow the required procedures and can uniformly, properly, and lawfully fulfill their duties, and reconcile the number of ballots to the number of voters so that certification of election results accurately reflects the will of the voters in every county,” the rule reads.
“The rule is built on basic, kindergarten math,” Election Integrity Network Founder Cleta Mitchell said Monday. “Count the number of voters, confirm that the number of voters match the number of ballots. Those numbers should match and should be the same as the number of votes tabulated. The duty for election officials to certify CORRECT results is required under the statute. The rule just makes sure it happens in every county.”
While some delegates refused to select the Democrat Party’s handpicked nominee, Kamala Harris, in protest over their support for the antisemitic death cult, Hamas, the rest of the delegates got in line and “chose” Vice President Kamala Harris as the party’s nominee. She accomplished this without receiving a single primary vote from the Democrat voters. The ratings reached new lows, seeing a decrease in 22 percent from the 2016 DNC. The acceptance speech was short and vague, as would be expected from what many are calling a DEI hire.
The tone of the convention was anti-Trump, with little offered in the way of policy, probably because their policies are hardly popular, outside of their commitment to keep the murdering of unborn children legal. They did offer the shadow of a Nazi slogan, “strength through joy,” though they didn’t say the full phrase, they only demonstrated in their constant use of the word “joy” to describe their political activism.
Biden was pushed aside, given a late night slot in which he chose to spread the terroristic lie that Donald Trump called Nazis “fine people,” while Kamala Harris repeated the lie that Donald Trump will follow the Heritage Foundation’s Agenda 2025. Most of the speakers spread fear and hate in an effort to scare Americans to vote for them to protect them against demons that are either not real or ones created by them.
DNC Posts Lackluster Ratings, Down 22 Percent From 2016
Ratings for night one of the Democratic National Convention were slightly up from 2020, though overall ratings remain down significantly since 2016.
The first night of the DNC drew an average of 20.3 million viewers Monday, ranking slightly higher than the opening night of the Republican National Convention, which took place just days after former President Donald Trump was nearly assassinated.
Monday night’s coverage also served as President Biden’s farewell address to the party after he announced he would be suspending his re-election campaign, giving the first night an added draw over the RNC.
Nielson ratings account for coverage from ABC (2.8 million), CBS (2 million), NBC (1.8 million), Scripps News, Univision, CNN (3.2 million), CNNe, Fox Business, Fox News Channel (2.4 million), MSNBC (4.6 million), Newsmax, NewsNation, and PBS. The numbers account for viewers tuning in between 9 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. Central Time.
The numbers are likely higher for both conventions, as Nielson ratings do not factor in significant numbers of online and live-streaming viewers.
Even the Media Is Flipping Out About the Total Dysfunction at the DNC
The Democratic National Convention is so typical of Democrats. They want to tell you it’s about “joy.”
But meanwhile, behind the scenes and frankly spilling out in front of the scenes are protests, backstabbing, drama, division, and complete dysfunction. These are the folks who want your vote, but they can’t even put on a simple event without it being a complete mess.
We’ve reported on some of the mess already, including things running late on Monday night, so that Joe Biden’s address was pushed back until very late in the evening.
But it turns out there’s even more of a mess than that — even basic things like just getting the mechanics right.
The DNC is the worst event I’ve ever been to. People are getting trampled, jumping over barriers.
Floor delegate behind me just called it “absolute chaos,” another said “a really bad system in terms of somebody getting trampled”
I’m legitimately shocked at how catastrophic the logistics of the DNC are. I’m talking to an Illinois State Rep, Cyril Nichols (D), who has given up on trying to get in. “This is horrible,” he says, pointing out other State Reps still stuck on the endless “line” to nowhere pic.twitter.com/bzEKbA0Snj
Kamala Humiliated After DNC’s Official Platform Lists BIDEN As Nominee
The kinks are still being worked out at the Democratic National Convention as things kick off on Monday in Chicago. In a sign of how badly the party is underperforming, the party’s national platform was displayed for all to see still listing President Joe Biden as the nominee.
A screenshot of the platform was grabbed and shared widely online where observers noted President Biden was listed as the nominee throughout the multi-page document. The platform traditionally plays host to shared policy statements, goals, and values for both the Republican and Democratic Parties and are adopted or revamped during presidential elections. Delegates on the floor at this week’s Democratic convention are expected to endorse motions including expanded protections for transgender Americans and calling for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war. Embarrassing oversights list Biden as the party’s champion on cancer research, infrastructure investments, and increases taxes on corporations.
Democrats’ 2024 Platform Seeks To Eliminate Due Process Protections For College Students
The Democrat’s 2024 platform promises to remove constitutional due process protections for college students after the Trump administration ensured them.
In a section about President Joe Biden purportedly protecting women, the platform said Biden had “restor[ed] and strengthen[ed] protections under Title IX, including explicit protections for LGBTQI+ students,” even though those “protections” have been blocked by the Supreme Court.
Title IX is a federal statute that prohibits entities that receive public funding from discriminating based on sex.
Before the Supreme Court stepped in, 26 states had blocked the rules from going into effect.
Democrat Platform Full Of Delusions About Who Are The Bad Guys
Asking Kamala Harris and Democrats to fix the mess they’ve made over the past few years is kind of like asking Agent Orange to cure non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
The Democratic National Committee, with the complicit assistance of the accomplice media, is spending the better part of this week in Democrat-destroyed Chicago proclaiming that the same party that through a soft coup removed its inconveniently senile leader is the sentinel of democracy.
The packaged delusion begins where you might expect — the preamble to the 2024 Democratic Party platform. Really, the opening paragraph is enough to boggle the mind.
“Our nation is at an inflection point. What kind of America will we be? A land of more freedom, or less freedom? More rights or fewer? An economy rigged for the rich and powerful, or where everyone has a fair shot at getting ahead? Will we lower the temperature in our politics and come together, or treat each other as enemies instead?” the overture to this insane leftist opera asks.
DNC’s unrevised platform allows Kamala Harris to ‘stay vague,’ hide policy from American people: CNN
On CNN, hosts discussed how with the Democratic platform still having many mentions of President Joe Biden along with policy positions, Kamala Harris can “stay vague” about the specifics of her policy agenda going into the Democratic National Convention (DNC).
The comments came from Jake Tapper, who said that having Biden mentioned would leave policies for Harris “vague” and “unspecific,” and allowed the campaign to place blame on Biden.
Tapper during CNN’s coverage of the first day of the DNC said, “President Biden dropped out of the race a month and a day ago. You wouldn’t know that if you read the Democratic platform because it repeatedly refers to President Biden’s second term.” The platform refers to Biden’s second term around 19 times.
CNN’s David Chalian responded, telling others on the panel, “The idea of reopening the platform to try to fit in not yet fully developed Kamala Harris policies, while they were quickly changing, they thought they would be opening a can of worms, right? And that there would be all of a sudden some fights about what goes in the platform and they wanted to avoid that at all costs.” He added that the Democrats were willing to take the hit on the platform not being updated.
‘Squad’ Members Rally Around Uncommitted Delegates Staging DNC Sit-In Over Lack of Speaker Slot
CHICAGO—Several members of the left-wing “Squad,” including Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.), joined uncommitted Democratic National Convention delegates who staged a sit-in outside the United Center over the party’s denial of their request for a speaking slot.
Omar and Rep. Summer Lee (D., Pa.) sat with the delegates near the north entrance to the United Center, where vice presidential nominee Tim Walz spoke Wednesday evening. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) called in to endorse the demonstration, and Reps. Ayanna Pressley (D., Mass.) and Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) expressed solidarity.
Kamala HUMILIATED After Dozens Of DNC Delegates Refuse To Support Her
At the Democratic National Convention, delegates took part in a symbolic roll call vote, echoing their earlier decision to nominate Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democrat presidential candidate. However, some DNC delegates have expressed their hesitations about casting their vote for Harris, as they remain uncommitted until their concerns regarding Gaza are addressed.
The vote, merely a formality following a virtual nomination earlier this month, saw 44 delegates choose to vote “present,” a Daily Caller review reported.
The “uncommitted” trend began with February’s Listen to Michigan campaign, a grassroots initiative that rallied voters to make protest votes during the state’s primary. Surpassing expectations, the campaign secured more than 13 percent of the vote. Building on this momentum, the movement spread nationally, prompting voters in liberal states like Hawaii, Washington, and Minnesota to cast enough “uncommitted” ballots to send similarly minded delegates to the convention.
Members of the pro-Palestinian ‘uncommitted’ movement gathered for a rally at a park near the DNC, pushing for the inclusion of a Palestinian-American speaker at the Democratic convention. At the rally on Wednesday, they amplified their calls for Democrat leaders to intensify efforts to end the conflict in Gaza.
Tim Walz accepts Democratic Party nomination for vice-president
The governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, has formally accepted the Democratic Party’s nomination for vice-president alongside Kamala Harris. Walz spoke to an energetic crowd on day 3 of the Democratic National Convention, following speeches by Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, TV host Oprah Winfrey, and former president Bill Clinton.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s Midwestern charm had already won over the crowd at the Democratic National Convention before he walked onto the stage Wednesday night to accept the party’s nomination for vice president.
Tim Walz dances around controversy during DNC speech, mentions IVF; wife references ‘command sergeant major’ rank
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) formally accepted the Democratic vice presidential nomination at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday night.
The evening’s theme was “a fight for our freedoms,” and Walz gave a speech thanking Vice President Kamala Harris (D) for inviting him to be a part of the campaign and President Joe Biden (D) for his leadership.
“It’s the honor of my life to accept your nomination for the vice president of the United States,” Walz said.
Walz went on to talk about growing up in a small town, serving in the military, teaching, and running for Congress.
“Then I came back to serve as governor, and we got right to work making a difference in our neighbors’ lives,” Walz stated. “We cut taxes for the middle class. We passed paid family and medical leave. We invested in fighting crime and affordable housing. We cut the costs of prescription drugs and helped people escape the kind of medical debt that nearly sank my family. And we made sure that every kid in our state gets breakfast and lunch every day.”
“So while other states were banning books from their schools, we were banishing hunger from ours,” he continued. “We also protected reproductive freedom because in Minnesota we respect our neighbors and the personal choices they make.”
“And even if we wouldn’t make those same choices for ourselves, we’ve got a golden rule: Mind your own damn business,” Walz declared before reaffirming his support for in vitro fertilization.
“This is a big part of what this election is about: freedom,” Walz remarked.
Tim Walz Bashes JD Vance for Going to Yale — After Following Long List of Yale Speakers
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz bashed rival Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) for attending Yale — after Walz followed a long list of Yale- and Ivy-League-educated speakers at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois, on Wednesday.
“I grew up in Butte, Nebraska. A town of 400 people,” Walz said, continuing: “I had 24 kids in my high school class. And none of them went to Yale.”
Walz, the Democratic nominee for vice president, has frequently attacked Vance, the Republican nominee for the position, as if he were an elitist for going to Yale, despite the fact that Vance grew up in poverty in rural America.
But Walz’s predecessors onstage at the convention included a large number of Yale and Ivy League graduates — on Wednesday night alone:
Jaime Harrison, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee (Yale)
Virginia McGregor, Treasurer of the Democratic National Committee (Harvard)
Alexis McGill Johnson, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood (Yale and Princeton)
Cecile Richards, past President of Planned Parenthood (Brown)
Joe Biden Uses ‘Very Fine People’ Hoax in DNC Farewell Speech
President Joe Biden invoked the “very fine people hoax” in his farewell address to the Democratic National Convention on Monday night, using a proven lie, once more, that has been repeatedly debunked, to his face.
The hoax claims that President Donald Trump referred to neo-Nazis who rioted in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017 as “very fine people.” In fact, as the transcript of his remarks shows, Trump condemned them “totally.”
Biden used the hoax to launch his campaign in April 2019. Breitbart News confronted him directly in August 2019 with the evidence that Trump had, in fact, condemned the neo-Nazis. Biden denied it and repeated the hoax again.
Since then, the hoax has been debunked, repeatedly — including, most recently, by the left-leaning Snopes website.
Former President Trump debunked the hoax during his recent debate with Biden; former Vice President Mike Pence did so during his 2020 debate with then-Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA); it was debunked on national television during Trump’s second impeachment trial.
Yet Biden has continued to repeat the lie, almost verbatim — although he has recently added the claim that the Ku Klux Klan paraded “without hoods” because they saw an ally in Trump.
Biden Goes Off-Script in DNC Speech to Appease Pro-Hamas Agitators
As his administration seeks to negotiate an end to the war in Gaza, President Joe Biden slipped a shout-out to anti-Israel protesters into his Monday night speech at the Democratic National Convention.
The convention has been besieged by pro-Hamas protesters who want progressive Vice President Kamala Harris, the party’s nominee, to drag the party further to the left in its rejection of Israel.
On Monday night, Biden said he feels their pain.
“We’re working around the clock, my Secretary of State, to prevent a wider war and reunite hostages with their families and surge humanitarian health and food assistance into Gaza now, to end the civilian suffering of the Palestinian people and finally, finally, finally deliver a ceasefire and end this war,” Biden said in a clip of his speech posted to X.
“The protesters on the street have a point.”
The ones wearing Hamas headbands, waving Hezbollah flags, and screaming “intifada”?
This from a man who claims to be a Zionist.
This should be Biden’s “fine people on both sides” moment with one difference: he actually said it. pic.twitter.com/KkwGzMbIjw
Joe Biden’s mention of the Israel/Hamas war during his DNC speech proved again that except for the first month and a half after October 7, Biden has never been pro-Israel. Amazingly, despite his advanced dementia, he remembered the Democratic rule of talking about Israel. Omitting or bending facts, half-truths, or even lying in an attempt to seem fair but actually trying to promote an anti-Israel position.
Allow me to explain. This President Lame Duck said to the Democratic Party convention on August 19. Well, not exactly. His loving party allowed him to start his speech at 11:30 EDT and end it on August 20.
Per “The Lid” tradition, the black type is Biden’s speech, and the red words are my comments, which are responses to particular phrases in Biden’s speech (those phrases are in bold). It is presented as a response to Joe even though he is not a big reader of The Lid.
“And we’ll keep working to bring hostages home...Gee Joe, who took those hostages, and who are causing many of their deaths? How many? Do you know It could be as few as 50per U.S. sources. …end the war in Gaza... Mr. President, this was an excellent time to remind America that the conflict began with a horrible Hamas terrorist attack. Oh, wait! I apologize. I forgot they are no longer called terrorists. They are militants, just like George Washington in the Revolutionary War...bring peace and security to the Middle East…President Trump left you an excellent strategy called theAbraham Accords,and it was working, but you ignored it. Was it because you wanted your far-left base to know you heard their cries of “Orange Man Bad.”.
DNC Gives a Hilarious Excuse for Running Late and Delaying Biden’s Speech, but No One Is Buying It
As I wrote earlier, I don’t know what they were thinking when they made the schedule for the speakers on Day 1 of the DNC. It ran far too long, with folks like Sen. Raphael Warnock going on and on, and the program running very late. Joe Biden, who was supposed to be the featured speaker of the night, in what was supposed to be something of a wrap up of his 50 years in government was forty minutes late as a consequence. He was supposed to go on at 10:50 p.m. ET, he didn’t go on until about 11:30 p.m.
But the excuse the DNC released to explain why Biden was pushed to such a late time was just ridiculous.
New DNC statement from convention officials explaining why the program ran so late tonight:
“Because of the raucous applause interrupting speaker after speaker, we ultimately skipped elements of our program to ensure we could get to President Biden as quickly as possible so…
“Because of the raucous applause interrupting speaker after speaker, we ultimately skipped elements of our program to ensure we could get to President Biden as quickly as possible so that he could speak directly to the American people. We are proud of the electric atmosphere in our convention hall and proud that our convention is showcasing the broad and diverse coalition behind the Harris-Walz ticket throughout the week on and off the stage.”
Biden Seen Crying During DNC Walkout as Kamala Harris Will Soon Replace Him
In case you missed a lot of what happened at the Democratic National Convention on Monday, don’t worry. Our president probably did, too.
The one difference between you and Joseph Robinette Biden, however, is the fact that the latter was giving the biggest speech of the DNC’s first night. It was predictably Bidenesque.
It’s telling, in fact, that Biden got shafted with the Monday slot, which is where everyone who the Democrats simply had to make time for — in spite of the fact they likely didn’t want to — was given center stage.
In addition to Biden fulfilling his job as the ghost of election failures present, the ghost of election failures past — Hillary Rodham Clinton, the 2016 Democratic standard-bearer — also spoke.
So did several far-left politicians. Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock, Reps. Jasmine Crockett of Texas and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago, where the convention is being held, also got time on the program for Monday.
Kamala Harris and Walz skipped Obama’s DNC speech reportedly to avoid Biden’s anger over backstabbing
President Joe Biden said he had no ill will toward those who helped oust him from his re-election campaign, but there may be real anger behind the scenes, according to a report.
‘We are in tricky territory.’
A source familiar with the situation between the Harris-Walz campaign and Biden told Fox News that Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz skipped former President Barack Obama’s speech at the Democratic National Convention to ease Biden’s anger.
“[The] Obamas are still not on the White House good side. It would not be helpful to their relationships,” the source said.
“We are in tricky territory,” the source added.
Instead of attending Obama’s speech, Harris and Walz were a hundred miles away at a rally in Milwaukee. Their absence helped defuse Biden’s anger by avoiding the optics of the presidential candidates standing on a stage next to the man who led the crusade against Biden.
Barack Obama tells Democrats ‘mutual respect’ should be their message this election
Former President Barack Obama urged all Americans, regardless of their background and political ideology, to unite behind Vice President Kamala Harris in an impassioned speech Tuesday night at the Democratic National Convention.
Michelle Obama Voices Support for Childhood Transgenderism at DNC
Former First Lady Michelle Obama appeared to voice support for childhood transgenderism at the Democratic National Convention, accusing former President Donald Trump of “demonizing” children “for being who they are” during her speech.
Obama, who made it her mission during her husband’s tenure to promote healthy lifestyles to children, used her Tuesday night keynote address to say that it is “unpresidential” to speak out against childhood sex changes.
After calling Trump “misogynistic” and “racist,” the former first lady began listing things that do not “make anybody’s life better.”
“…Because gutting our health care, taking away our freedom to control our bodies, the freedom to become a mother through IVF, like I did-those things are not going to improve the health outcomes of our wives, mothers, and daughters,” Obama told the crowd.
“Shutting down the Department of Education, banning our books-none of that will prepare our kids for the future…Demonizing our children for being who they are and loving who they love–look, that doesn’t make anybody’s life better,” she argued.
Former President Barack Obama got some burns in, too, at Tuesday’s Democratic National Convention.
“Here’s a 78-year-old billionaire who has not stopped whining about his problems since he rode down his golden escalator nine years ago,” Obama said.
“It has been a constant stream of gripes and grievances that’s actually been getting worse,” he continued. “The other day, I heard someone compare Trump to the neighbor who keeps running his leaf blower outside your window every minute of every day. Now, from a neighbor, that’s exhausting. From a president, it’s just dangerous.”
Trump’s “a guy whose act has, let’s face it, gotten pretty stale,” Obama said. “We do not need four more years of bluster and bumbling and chaos. We have seen that movie before, and we all know that the sequel is usually worse.”
“America is ready for a new chapter. America is ready for a better story. We are ready for a President Kamala Harris.”
Despite the Clintons’ complicated political and personal histories, the pair are refinding their footing and stepping up as Democratic Party elders.
Eight years after ex-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton‘s surprise loss to former President Donald Trump, she delivered an impassioned convention speech on Monday predicting that Vice President Kamala Harris would be the woman who shatters the proverbial glass ceiling that she could not. Former President Bill Clinton, whose administration was marred by the Monica Lewinsky scandal before the Me Too movement of 2017, will have a prime-time speaking spot on Wednesday.
Party officials and lawmakers defended the decision to showcase them during this week’s convention despite mixed emotions from Democrats and staunch criticism from Republicans.
Justin Pearson, who rose to national prominence in 2023 after being expelled from and later reinstated to the Tennessee state legislature over his anti-gun violence protests, welcomed the Clintons’ presence in Chicago.
“The momentum that’s being built in the Democratic Party right now can’t be stopped,” Pearson told the Washington Examiner Wednesday outside state delegation breakfasts at a downtown hotel. “I also believe that we have to have the wisdom of the elders and young people’s energy. I think we need to have a combination of folks who have helped to build this party over time, and also people who are rising and growing and learning now.”
Christian leaders condemn free abortion bus by Democratic National Convention
Christian leaders have strongly condemned Planned Parenthood after it deployed a mobile clinic offering free medical abortions and vasectomies, as the 2024 Democratic National Convention (DNC) kicked off in Chicago. The mobile health unit was stationed just a block away from the convention site, providing these services free of charge on August 19-20.
Promoting the event on social media, Planned Parenthood Great Rivers announced: “Here we come, Chicago! Our mobile health clinic will be in the West Loop with [the Chicago Abortion Fund] & [the Wieners Circle], providing FREE vasectomies & medication abortion.” The group later confirmed that all available slots had been filled due to overwhelming demand.
Watch: Abortion Pills Protest DNC, Demand Reproductive Justice For Palestine
A bunch of unhinged leftists descended onto the streets in Chicago, as they dressed up as the abortion pill to protest the DNC. However, it’s unclear why they would need to protest the party that is dedicated to abortion all day every day, but a UID attended, too.
The abortion crazies were spotted as part of the larger pro-Palestine protest, because all of a sudden, reproductive justice is also justice for Hamas, as these people couldn’t prove to be more naive if they tried.
Firstly, there are way more masks than there are brain cells. Secondly, don’t you think that the fact that Planned Parenthood offering free abortions at the DNC is enough for these people to be satisfied? It’s not like there’s one single Dem who would try and stand in the way of that.
Thirdly, why do these people always look like that? Do they really think they are saving so much water that monthly showers aren’t even a thought for them?
Additionally, it’s unclear what they think they will accomplish for the people in Gaza, but it’s clear that they have no clue they would be arrested there for acting so foolishly.
DNC 2024: Protests begin calmy third night, after 56 arrests made night prior
More than 1,000 pro-Palestinian protesters marched Wednesday past a park where pro-Israel demonstrators had gathered earlier and toward the arena hosting the third night of the Democratic National Convention.
The demonstration, which stayed largely peaceful, came a day after violent clashes between police and protesters led to 56 arrests.
As marchers passed under a new elevated train station near the United Center that was completed just before the DNC, officers were seen bringing a person to the ground on the platform above. In response, hundreds of protesters pushed against the edge of the station, banging on the glass with their hands and flag poles as they called on police to free the person. The person left through the station’s emergency exit moments later, accompanied by officers but not in handcuffs, prompting cheers from the crowd.
The crowds of pro-Palestinian protesters included many families and people of different faiths. Some kids ate popsicles as they walked, and others were pushed in strollers or rode in wagons. Small groups of Muslims gathered in prayer at a park just ahead of the march’s kickoff, using keffiyeh as prayer rugs. Rabbis were among the leaders of the march, and a small group marched through in the crowd holding a sign that said “Christians for Ceasefire.”
Buses had picked up families and students from area mosques to bring them to the demonstration, including residents of Chicago’s southwest suburbs, which have one of the largest concentrations of Palestinians in the country.
Dozens arrested after pro-Palestinian, anti-DNC protesters clash with CPD
Dozens of people were arrested after clashing with police at an un-permitted protest outside the Israeli Consulate Tuesday night.
The National Lawyers Guild Chicago said at least 72 people were arrested during that protest, while Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling said 56 people, including three journalists, were arrested, after refusing to follow multiple dispersal orders.
Thirty were cited for disorderly conduct – breach of peace, 13 were cited for disorderly conduct – failing to obey a lawful order to disperse, one person was cited for disorderly conduct – failing to obey police and three were cited for resisting police, Chicago police said.
Nine others were charged with misdemeanors.
Twenty two of those arrested are from out of town. Many are from the west coast, according to CPD.
They were brought to Area 3 headquarters, where police have slowly been releasing those arrested one by one Wednesday.
Chaos in Chicago as far-left militants burn American flags, attack journalist, clash with police outside Kamala’s DNC
Pro-Palestinian agitators and police clashed outside Chicago’s Israeli consulate on Tuesday as the Democratic National Convention was underway in nearby United Center. The agitators set an American flag outside the consulate and attacked journalist Ben Bergquam when he attempted to remove the flag from the flames.
One person with a microphone was heard telling the crowd as the flag burned on the ground, “This is what we think of your f*cking flag.”
Lines of riot police and agitators were seen clashing outside the consulate.
Multiple arrests have been made as agitators attempted to make their way through the police line, Julio Rosas documented it for The Blaze. Arrests continued to be made throughout the evening.
Anti-Israel Protesters Disrupt Colbert’s DNC Interview With Pelosi
In yet another example highlighting that the 2024 Democrat National Convention began as a disaster, then went downhill from there, CBS late-night host Stephen Colbert’s live interview with Nancy Pelosi was repeatedly interrupted by anti-Israel agitators, leading the host to plead: “Please don’t interrupt my guest.”
As Pelosi answered Colbert’s question about her reported involvement in the veritable coup that forced Joe Biden to drop out of the race, shouting from the audience could clearly be heard — and it continued throughout the interview.
To Colbert’s credit, he immediately responded to the demonstrators: “For the people who can’t tell, there’s a protest going on in the audience.” And that protest was aimed directly at Pelosi.
Colbert tried to quiet the disturbance at a commercial break, as he then turned to the use of U.S. power overseas.
Let’s talk about another aspect of power: the U.S. using its power overseas. As I said earlier, there is a political protester here. There is a political convention in town, you are a politician and protests are natural. People are protesting, even within the Democratic Party, there is dissension over what is the proper use of American power, especially our protected power overseas, both firm and soft power. If the goal is the peaceful and prosperous future for both Israelis and Palestinians, what role does the United States play?
Kamala Trots Out AOC To Address Anti-Israel Voters at Dem Convention
CHICAGO—Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) touted Vice President Kamala Harris’s support for an Israeli ceasefire in a primetime address to the Democratic National Convention, drawing cheers from the audience at the event’s opening night.
Harris “is as committed to our reproductive and civil rights as she is to taking on corporate greed. And she is working tirelessly to secure a ceasefire in Gaza and bringing hostages home,” Ocasio-Cortez said to loud applause from the crowd in Chicago.
Ocasio-Cortez’s comments were a nod to Democratic voters who have increasingly turned against Israel in recent years. Inside and outside the convention, left-wing protesters railed against the Jewish state, calling on Harris to enact an arms embargo on Israel and pressure its leaders to abandon their battle against Hamas.
The Democratic Party’s decision to tap Ocasio-Cortez for a primetime speaking slot on the convention’s opening night illustrates the growing power of the party’s left wing. During her speech, Ocasio-Cortez sought to portray Democrats as the representatives of the working class and criticized Republicans as the party of the wealthy elite.
“Ever since I got elected, Republicans have attacked me by saying that I should go back to bartending. But let me tell you, I’m happy to any day of the week, because there is nothing wrong with working for a living,” she said.
Democrat-on-Democrat Violence at the DNC: Attendees Unfurl “Stop Arming Israel” Banner During Biden Speech — Man Smacks Woman in Hijab With ‘We Love Joe’ Sign
Tensions flared at the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago as party divisions were laid bare in a public display of intra-party conflict.
The incident occurred just as Joe Biden took the stage, when a group of attendees unfurled a large banner reading “Stop Arming Israel” in protest of the regime’s continued support for the Israeli government.
Fake news WaPo reporter Dylan Wells reported that Democrat delegates tried to obstruct the protest banner using their “We Love Joe” signs before the DNC dimmed the lights above the protesters and had them removed from the convention.
First protest I’ve seen inside the arena: a banner reading “stop arming Israel.”
Delegates blocked the sign with the “we ❤️ Joe” signs and the convention hall turned off the light spotlighting the section as the protestors were removed. pic.twitter.com/6XYaCk6XwF
Reporter from Zeteo News, Prem Thakker, also described the chaotic scene: “Audience members at the DNC in Chicago unfurl banner that says “Stop arming Israel.” After audience sees the banner, they begin chanting “We love Joe.” Man tries to rip banner away. Stadium lights over this spot then dimmed and banner was ripped away.”

Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris at the DNC — finally breaking that glass ceiling
“Something is happening in America,” Hillary Clinton told a rapturous crowd at the United Center on the first night of the Democratic convention. “You can feel it. Something we’ve dreamed for a long time.”
Clinton’s speech to Democrats starved for a win was about a lot of things — including electing the first female president.
“Together we’ve put a lot of cracks in the highest, hardest glass ceiling. Tonight, so close to breaking through once and for all, I want to tell you what I see through all those cracks. And why it matters for each and every one of us. What do I see? I see freedom” — for our lives, our loves and our families. And more.
Hillary Clinton Displays Sinister Smile, Nods in Agreement as DNC Crowd Screams Chant Targeting Trump
On Monday, a state senator from Michigan, one Mallory McMorrow, was dragged up on stage at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago to beat the left’s favorite dead horse: Project 2025.
Her remarks, like Mallory McMorrow herself, were decidedly not worth mentioning except for one thing: During her speech, she warned that the Project 2025 agenda might — gasp! — allow Donald Trump to use the federal government to go after his enemies.
The GOP’s agenda, she said, would allow Donald Trump “to weaponize the Department of Justice to go after his political opponents.”
“He could even even turn the FBI into his own personal police force,” McMorrow said. “That is not how it works in America!“
Some random state senator at the DNC laments that President Trump “could even weaponize the Department of Justice to go after his political opponents!”
That’s weird, since that’s EXACTLY what Kamala Harris and the deranged Democrats have done to President Trump. pic.twitter.com/ISx9gWXk0F
DNC bumped James Taylor due to speech overruns, despite him rehearsing, performing a soundcheck Monday in Chicago
James Taylor was bumped at the DNC last night, and while reports emerged that speeches ran long and there was just no room for the aging folkster, it almost seemed intentional, a message that the old guard, their leaders in both politics and culture, were out for good.
“Veteran singer-songwriter James Taylor, who was slated to perform, got bumped for time as the night ran long. We’ll never know for certain whether he would have matched Kid Rock’s energy,” NPR writes, referencing the energy of the RNC and the performers that graced that stage.
Taylor’s only performance on the Chicago stage on Monday was during a sound check, where he played his iconic “You’ve Got a Friend.” It was scheduled to be sung between speeches given by Biden’s daughter Ashley and wife Jill in the lead up to Biden’s exit speech. It would have been a soft reminder that Biden, the elder statesman, was leaving the party he’d been part of for his enture career, stretching back to the 1970s and Taylor’s own heyday, and led for the past four years.
Phil Murphy Teams Up with Trans Candidate for DNC Moment on LGBTQ Rights
In a moment that was supposed to be all about unity and pride, things didn’t go entirely according to plan when New Jersey’s Governor Phil Murphy was spotlighted at the DNC convention with Dr. Joeigh Perella, a transgender advocate and recent candidate for Cumberland County Commissioner.
Perella, who introduced herself confidently with her pronouns (“she/her”), was all set to make a bold statement in support of the LGBTQ+ community. After all, standing alongside big names like Kamala Harris and Tim Walz is no small feat!
“My name is Dr. Joeigh Perella, pronouns she/her. I’m a proud resident of the Garden State,” she began, earning nods of approval from the virtual audience.
Lawfare Assassin Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan District Attorney, has announced his office’s intentions to not oppose any delay requests in President Donald Trump’s sentencing hearing, which comes after he was “convicted” of lawfare crimes against the Democrat Party. Bragg wrote “The People defer to the Court on the appropriate post-trial schedule that allows for adequate time to adjudicate defendant’s [presidential immunity] motion while also pronouncing sentence ‘without unreasonable delay,’”
After securing a criminal conviction against former President Donald Trump, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg may now be running cover for Democrats who don’t want to see the Republican jailed before Election Day.
In a filing submitted on Friday, the progressive prosecutor said his office will not oppose a motion by Trump’s attorneys to delay a previously scheduled sentencing hearing on September 18th. The request came following a landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling granting presidents absolute immunity from official acts performed in office which they argue could be construed to include actions around the hush money payment paid to adult film star Stormy Daniels. In June President Trump was found guilty of felony charges that he orchestrated the payments to assist his 2016 presidential campaign and then ordered the misclassification of the payments on business records. Prosecutors with his office now tell Judge Juan Merchan that discretion around a sentence, which could include jail time, will not include a recommendation from their office.
“The People defer to the Court on the appropriate post-trial schedule that allows for adequate time to adjudicate defendant’s [presidential immunity] motion while also pronouncing sentence ‘without unreasonable delay,’” prosecutors wrote, according to the Washington Examiner.
The long-gone “woke” Church of England further signaled to God and the world their rebellion from God by announcing plans to strike the word “church” from their vocabulary, as “church” is not reflective of “modern audiences” or “the new normal.” One Vicar, Dr. Giles Fraser, is suggesting the word “church” be replaced with “new things.”
The Church of England has apparently joined the pronoun movement. Of course, none of this should come as a surprise to anyone, but it is still a shame. According to a report in the Telegraph, the Church has decided to stop using the word “church” in order to be more modern. I don’t know what word they will use. Lodge? Club? Association? The Loyal Order of Water Buffalos?
By all indications, the church is keeping its official moniker as “The Church of England.” That is understandable; that is a lot of letterhead to throw out and logos to redesign. From a cost-benefit standpoint, it makes sense. But going forward, churches will be referred to as “communities.”
According to a study by the Centre for Church Planting Theology and Research, an examination of six of eleven dioceses in the Anglican Communion, churches are increasingly dropping the word when exploring the idea of creating new congregations. They are also known as churches, by the way.
When discussing new “church plants,” which is a fairly common practice in the U.S., none of the 900 of the new churches started by the Church of England used the word “church plant.”
The report’s author, Rev Dr. Will Foulger, vicar of St Nicholas in Durham, found that six of the 11 dioceses used the language of “worship” in their main descriptor of new church projects, two used “congregation,” and seven used “community.”
Watch: Abortion Pills Protest DNC, Demand Reproductive Justice For Palestine
A bunch of unhinged leftists descended onto the streets in Chicago, as they dressed up as the abortion pill to protest the DNC. However, it’s unclear why they would need to protest the party that is dedicated to abortion all day every day, but a UID attended, too.
The abortion crazies were spotted as part of the larger pro-Palestine protest, because all of a sudden, reproductive justice is also justice for Hamas, as these people couldn’t prove to be more naive if they tried.
Firstly, there are way more masks than there are brain cells. Secondly, don’t you think that the fact that Planned Parenthood offering free abortions at the DNC is enough for these people to be satisfied? It’s not like there’s one single Dem who would try and stand in the way of that.
Thirdly, why do these people always look like that? Do they really think they are saving so much water that monthly showers aren’t even a thought for them?
Additionally, it’s unclear what they think they will accomplish for the people in Gaza, but it’s clear that they have no clue they would be arrested there for acting so foolishly.
A study conducted by researchers from Oxford University claims the recent spike in heart illness among children in the UK had one sole cause, the Covid-19 mRNA Vaccine. The researchers concluded, “All myocarditis and pericarditis events during the study period occurred in vaccinated individuals.”
An explosive study has finally confirmed that Covid mRNA shots are the sole cause of an unprecedented global surge of heart failure among children.
The study shuts down previous claims from the corporate media and so-called experts who have tried to blame the phenomenon on COVID-19 and other factors such as sugar intake, video games, and even so-called “climate change.”
As Slay News has been reporting, cases of cardiac-related deaths and heart failure such as myocarditis and pericarditis have been soaring around the world since the Covid injections were rolled out to the public in early 2021.
Myocarditis and pericarditis are inflammatory conditions of the heart and are generally considered to be rare, especially among children.
Severe cases can lead to serious complications and even sudden death.
As a way to combat the rising price of products and services in our daily lives, Kamala Harris, the DNC-CCP’s handpicked “nominee,” is proposing empowering the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to impose fines on businesses that, by their estimation, are engaging in “price gouging.”
The campaign stated, “There’s a big difference between fair pricing in competitive markets and excessive prices unrelated to the costs of doing business. Americans can see that difference in their grocery bills.” The plan essentially makes the FTC the new price fixer of the American economy. In other words, it makes the FTC the czar of the now communist marketplace.
A Harvard economist who worked in the Obama Administration voiced his opposition to Vice President Kamala Harris’ plan to install fixed-pricing on grocery chains and their suppliers.
“This is not sensible policy, and I think the biggest hope is that it ends up being a lot of rhetoric and no reality,” Jason Furman told The New York Times in a report published Friday. “There’s no upside here, and there is some downside.”
On Wednesday, Harris finally unveiled a bit of her policy platform after weeks of speculation. The plan included price-fixing on grocery chains and their suppliers to prevent “corporate price gouging.” The Biden-Harris Administration has routinely blamed “corporate price gouging” for America’s inflation woes, which have consistently polled as a top concern among American voters.
“There’s a big difference between fair pricing in competitive markets and excessive prices unrelated to the costs of doing business,” the Harris campaign said in a statement. “Americans can see that difference in their grocery bills.”
The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the Biden administration’s use of Title IX to force schools to let males presenting as females in their sports, their bathrooms, their locker rooms, and their showers will not be allowed to become effective. The ruling sends the matter back to the courts and suspends Biden’s rule until the matter is legally resolved.
‘For female students everywhere from preschool to graduate school – today is a day for celebration,’ attorney says
The Supreme Court on Friday ruled unanimously in support of two federal court injunctions in 10 Republican-led states barring implementation of the Biden administration’s new pro-transgender Title IX rewrite while the issues is hashed out in court.
It also ruled 5-4 to reject a request from the Education Department to partially enforce its Title IX rewrite, with the majority stating it’s too hard to parse out the uncontested regulations with the wildly controversial pro-transgender policies.
The new “Biden Rule,” released in April, added gender identity to Title IX, thus allowing female-identifying men into women’s bathrooms and requiring others to address them with their preferred pronouns — alongside other provisions unrelated to transgender issues.
In a gesture that seems as meaningful as yelling at clouds, the House Judiciary Committee released its report on the investigation into whether President Joe Biden should face impeachment charges or not. The committee found Biden has used his office to sell influence to foreign powers for millions of dollars.
The report claimed, “Our impeachment inquiry shows conclusively that Joe Biden abused his public office for the private financial benefit of the Biden family and Biden business associates.”
The House Judiciary Committe has concluded that President Joe Biden has committed “impeachable offenses” and that he “abused his public office for the private financial benefit of the Biden family and Biden business associates.” Other actions were also revealed in the report, which is part of their ongoing impeachment inquiry.
In a post on Monday, the committee stated, “Our impeachment inquiry shows conclusively that Joe Biden abused his public office for the private financial benefit of the Biden family and Biden business associates. The facts speak for themselves, and Democrats can no longer stretch the truth to cover for President Biden.
The findings from the near 300-page inquiry report concludes that Biden committed “impeachable offenses.” Some of the actions touched on in the report include that the president sought to “monetize Joe Biden’s office of public trust to enrich the Biden family” from 2014 to the present, “afforded special treatment to President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden” during his prosecution, as well as “obstructed the Committees’ impeachment inquiry by withholding key documents and witnesses.”
In another blow to free speech, an Ohio court just granted Olentangy Local Schools of Ohio the power to punish students for not “acknowledging” the preferred pronouns of other students. The move is seen as a blow to religious and philosophical liberty, as students of various beliefs will be forced to deny the conviction of their beliefs (such as there is only man and woman, and humans are born into their sex, which is the same as gender).
The ruling will be appealed, but while it is being adjudicated, students already starting school this year will be subject to this forced expression, whether it aligns with their beliefs or not. Circuit Court Judge Alice Batchelder wrote in her dissent that the first amendment actually DOES prohibit the school “from compelling students to use speech that conveys a message with which they disagree, namely that biology does not determine gender.”
Another victory for Big Brother. A court ruled last week that an Ohio school district could punish students who intentionally “misgender” LGBTQ individuals. There’s nothing like crushing the First Amendment and outlawing reality in one fell swoop.
Ohio’s Olentangy Local Schools can now penalize students who “intentionally” misgender, thanks to the Sixth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, as The Columbus Dispatch reports. Those confused individuals who think they can be transgender despite biology and who claim that there are dozens of genders are now a protected and favored class. Rest in peace, First Amendment — and parental rights.
As Circuit Judge Alice Batchelder wrote in her dissent from the court’s majority ruling, the First Amendment does (in a world not gone mad on wokeness) stop the district “from compelling students to use speech that conveys a message with which they disagree, namely that biology does not determine gender.” Parents Defending Education (PDE) had argued in a legal filing that the schools’ policy violated the First and Fourteenth Amendments and even penalized students for activity on their devices when not at school. Such LGBTQ policies attack both freedom of speech and freedom of religion.
The judges on the Sixth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals based in Cincinnati, said Monday in a 2-1 decision that the district did not compel speech in a way that violates students’ First Amendment rights, upholding a previous decision from a U.S. district court judge. Last year, the U.S. district court denied a preliminary injunction request filed by Parents Defending Education, which would have required the Olentangy Local School District to immediately change its harassment policies for students, The Dispatch previously reported.
Researchers from the Dutch Wageningen University & Research are warning the Japanese that a vaccine developed by a Bill Gates-funded group could be a significant health risk to humans. The Japanese are scheduled to administer a Covid-19 variant later this year. The vaccine is called a “self-amplifying mRNA” or SAM vaccine, for short.
The scientists warn the vaccine might make “unwanted and dangerous connections” that could re-animate the deadly viruses people might have in them through past vaccinations. One of the researchers on the project, Gorben Pijlmanm, said “The vaccines can indeed recombine with viruses under laboratory conditions, resulting in chimeric viruses (mixtures).”
A group of leading Dutch scientists and virologists has just made a disturbing discovery about the new Bill Gates-funded “self-amplifying mRNA” (SAM) vaccines.
The researchers are raising the alarm after finding that the SAM vaccines can form “unwanted and dangerous connections” with other deadly viruses in people who have been vaccinated…
Since the vaccine was approved, scientists have been raising serious concerns about their safety.
According to Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands, SAM vaccines can increase the threat of pathogenic viruses spreading among humans.
The discovery was made during a study led by virologists Tessy Hick, from Umeå University in Sweden, and Professor Gorben Pijlman from the Laboratory of Virology at Wageningen University & Research.
The just-elected Labour government of Britain has come out in support of illegal immigrants, Islam, and anything that opposes British national pride. As a result, protests and riots have exploded throughout Britian, with some being led by Brits and other being led by anti-Brits.
The anti-Brits get special treatment while the Brits get arrested, not just for being part of the riots, but for posting “mean” things online. So far, more than 2,000 people have been arrested. While the riots and protests are dying out, the discontent is only growing, and the arrests are only continuing. Britain is on the brink of civil war at this point.
UK Descends into Chaos as “Rule of Law” Apparently has Been Rescinded
On Sunday, I summarized new reports about the anti-immigration protests and unrest that erupted after three young girls were murdered at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in northwest England last week.
However, I want to go back and focus on the victims of the Southport stabbing, as the response of the elite media and the United Kingdom’s political elite have made choices that seem to be upending the rule of law that all citizens and institutions within a country, state, or community are accountable to the same laws,
You know…like the one first established in England by the Magna Carta.
To begin with, I tried to locate an in-depth summary of the victims, Elsie Dot Stancombe, Bebe King, and nine-year-old Alice Dasilva Aguiar. It was a challenge, as their names have been lost in an avalanche of reports attacking the far right”.
The heartbreak for the loss of little girls, who should have been safe in a children’s dance class, is palpable.
Jean Stevenson said Elsie Dot Stancombe was “absolutely the sweetest child you could ever wish to meet”.
Ms Stevenson said she had been teaching Elsie to sew, and remembered her delight at being able to make her own top.
“I thought I could go on giving her lessons and passing my skills on,” Ms Stevenson said as she laid flowers close to where Elsie was killed.
…Ms Stevenson was one of the thousands of people who have laid flowers or attended vigils since the attack.
She said: “It’s true what they say about the Southport community: a very close knit community, a very family-orientated area.
UK government calls on Elon Musk to act responsibly amid provocative posts as unrest grips country
LONDON — The British government has called on Elon Musk to act responsibly after the tech billionaire used his social media platform X to unleash a barrage of posts that officials say risk inflaming the violent unrest gripping the country.
Justice Minister Heidi Alexander made the comments Tuesday morning after Musk posted a comment saying that “Civil war is inevitable” in the U.K. Musk later doubled down, highlighting complaints that the British criminal justice system treats Muslims more leniently than far-right activists and comparing Britain’s crackdown on social media users to the Soviet Union.
“Use of language such as a ‘civil war’ is in no way acceptable,’’ Alexander told Times Radio. “We are seeing police officers being seriously injured, buildings set alight, and so I really do think that everyone who has a platform should be exercising their power responsibly.’’
Britain has been shaken by violence for more than a week, as police clashed with crowds spouting anti-immigrant and Islamophobic slogans in cities and towns from Northern Ireland to the south coast of England. The unrest began after right-wing activists used social media to spread misinformation about a knife attack that killed three girls during a Taylor Swift-themed dance event on July 29.
Musk stirs UK divisions, sparks calls for faster rollout of online safety laws
Elon Musk has been accused of exacerbating tensions after a week of far-right rioting in Britain, sparking calls for the government to speed up the rollout of laws policing harmful online content.
Misinformation and calls to violence have spread on social media over the past week after far-right and anti-Muslim groups seized on the fatal stabbing of three young girls in the English town of Southport.
Hundreds of counter-protestors gather ahead of 100 far-Right rallies
Far-Right demonstrators were left outnumbered on Wednesday night as thousands of counter-protesters crowded them out in towns and cities across England.
Police forces across the country braced for more than 100 far-Right demonstrations, with almost 4,000 specially-trained public order officers taking to the streets in anticipation of unrest.
Another 2,000 officers were placed on standby, meanwhile GP surgeries closed early and City workers were told to leave the office. In many towns and cities shops were also boarded up over fears of further rioting.
But it was the counter-protesters who turned out in far greater numbers.
In London, more than 5,000 people amassed in Walthamstow carrying banners of ‘Oppose Tommy Robinson’ and ‘Refugees Welcome’.
Hundreds of counter-protesters also gathered outside an immigration advice centre in Brentford and the Old Fire Station in Hackney.
Hundreds Arrested In UK As Rioters Clash With Police, Attack Buildings Following Stabbing Spree
Police arrested hundreds of rioters Sunday in violent clashes that erupted after a stabbing spree in the U.K., Fox News reported.
Rioters in the U.K. have set fires, beseiged mosques and clashed with police amid false rumors blaming an asylum-seeker for a mass stabbing at a Taylor Swift-themed dance event, according to Fox News. The attack reportedly left three girls dead and others injured. A U.K. judge named Axel Rudakubana, a 17-year-old native of Rwandan descent, as the suspect charged with three counts of murder and 10 counts of attempted murder, the outlet reported.
Riots erupt in UK after stabbing spree falsely blamed on asylum seeker https://t.co/VHy5hABKsW
The revelation — unusual due to U.K. laws purposed to protect minors’ identities — aimed to stop the misinformation which reportedly sparked riots. In response to escalating violence, including the torching of a library and attacks on a Winston Churchill statue, U.K. authorities arrested hundreds while deploying substantial police forces, the outlet reported. In addition, the town of Rotherham reportedly experienced severe clashes, with rioters allegedly trying to storm a hotel sheltering asylum-seekers. Police reported multiple officer injuries, Fox News stated.
U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the attacks and labeled the attacks as far-right thuggery.
“I guarantee you will regret taking part in this disorder, whether directly or those whipping up this action online and then running away themselves,” he said in a statement. “This is not a protest. It is organized, violent thuggery, and it has no place on our streets or online.”
On Sunday, the UK woke up to turmoil as the far right and anti-immigrant protests spread across Britain, resulting in violence, including clashes with riot police outside the hotel housing asylum seekers and looting shops.

“People in this country have a right to be safe, and yet we’ve seen Muslim communities targeted, attacks on mosques, other minority communities singled out, Nazi salutes in the street, attacks on the police, wanton violence alongside racist rhetoric, so no, I won’t shy away from calling it what it is: far-right thuggery,” he added.
The police have the means to deal with the raging violence, according to Defense Secretary John Healey
The British Army will not be involved in dealing with widespread rioting across the UK, Defense Secretary John Healey has said, insisting that police have the powers to protect the nation.
Healey was speaking to Sky News on Monday in Rotherham, where protesters set fire to a hotel housing asylum seekers.
Dozens of British towns and cities have been rocked by right-wing protests and riots against immigration and Islam since last Monday, when a British teenager of Rwandan descent stabbed three children to death and injured ten others in the town of Southport, near Liverpool.
Asked whether the army might have to be brought in to deal with any future riots, Healey replied: “No… it’s the police’s responsibility to respond first and currently they’ve got the means to do it.”
“They will make sure that people are safe,” Healey added.
Elon Musk calls PM ‘two-tier Keir’ over police response to UK riots
Elon Musk has called the prime minister “two-tier Keir” in reference to the conspiracy theory that police are treating white far-right “protesters” more harshly than minority groups.
Downing Street would not engage again with the billionaire owner of X, having previously said his comments about a potential civil war in the UK had “no justification”. Since that criticism, Musk has been repeatedly targeting Keir Starmer on his social media platform.
However, the Guardian understands Labour MPs have been privately warned not to engage in debate on Twitter about the far-right violence and to instead amplify calls for unity.
In a letter to MPs from the chief whip Alan Campbell, he says it is “important that you do not do anything that risks amplifying misinformation on social media and do not get drawn into debates online.”
UK riots raise the spectre of racism and evoke haunting memories
Since riots broke out across Britain, news outlets have focused on the role of disinformation shared on social media.
As far-right mobs rage in several towns, questions abound: should social media platforms crack down on the proliferation of dangerous conspiracy theories – primarily that people of immigrant and Muslim backgrounds are more likely to commit deadly crimes or sexual abuse? Are companies like TikTok inflammatory, allowing rioters to flaunt footage of their hate crimes with abandon?
There’s little doubt that social media plays a significant role in stoking tensions. However, the threat of the far right is not new, and many of their views entered the political mainstream long before we were glued to our screens.
Violence first flared after three girls – Alice Dasilva Aguiar, nine, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven and Bebe King, six – were stabbed to death at a Taylor Swift-themed summer holiday camp in Southport.
Far-right protesters clash with anti-racism groups, police across U.K.
A number of British police officers were injured Saturday as far-right activists faced off with anti-racism protesters. The clashes come following a stabbing attack at a dance class earlier this week that left three girls dead and several wounded.
With dozens of similar gatherings scheduled to take place around the country this weekend, police have mounted a significant security operation, deploying thousands more officers onto the streets, many in riot gear. Police have also made more prison cells available and are using surveillance and facial recognition technology.
On Saturday, Merseyside Police said a number of officers were injured in “serious disorder” in the centre of Liverpool, about 32 kilometres away from the scene of the stabbing attack in the seaside town of Southport, in England’s northwest.
In a series of posts on the social media platform X, the police force that covers Liverpool and Southport said there is “no place for this despicable behaviour which disrupts the lives of members of the public who live in the city, or are visiting to enjoy the amenities the city has to offer.”
Far-right riots erupt in U.K. in the wake of child murders
The United Kingdom woke up Sunday morning to city streets covered in debris and smoldering rubbish as a weekend of far-right, anti-immigration demonstrations — stoked by conspiracy theories spread on social media — erupted into violence in seven cities across the nation.
Police arrested at least 100 people, and riot police wearing helmets and holding shields came out in force as Prime Minister Keir Starmer pledged to take action against “extremists.”
On Saturday, groups in Leeds waving St. George’s Cross flags, England’s national flag regularly flown by far-right groups, shouted “Muslims off our streets,” pairing it with a slur suggesting they were criminal child abusers. In the city of Hull, rioters threw bottles and smashed a window at a hotel housing asylum-seekers as demonstrators clashed with police.
What started as targeted anti-immigration demonstrations quickly descended into directionless disorder. A library in Liverpool, reopened in 2023 as an “education to employment” service for people of all abilities, was set ablaze.
One police officer in the city was hit on the head with a chair and another kicked and knocked off his motorcycle. The police force responsible for the region has confirmed that two officers were taken to the hospital with injuries.
The protesters clashed as campaign group Stand Up To Racism and a “stop the boats” rally met at Guildhall Square in Plymouth this evening.
Devon and Cornwall Police also said violence had been carried out against its officers and a riot van had been damaged during the confrontation.
It comes as almost 400 people have been arrested over the mob violence spreading across the UK, with the prime minister setting up a “standing army” of specialist police officers to deal with further attacks.
Sir Keir Starmer has held an emergency Cobra meeting after far-right mobs carried out racist attacks and set fire to hotels housing asylum seekers in Rotherham and Tamworth.
Meanwhile, Australia, Nigeria, Malaysia and Indonesia have all issued travel alerts to their nationals visiting the UK as far-right violence sweeps across the country.
Pro-Palestinian demonstrators across Europe demand cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war
Protests and counter-protests are continuing across Europe as the Israel-Hamas war exceeds 300 days.
Pro-Palestinian demonstrators took part in cease-fire rallies across Europe as the Israel-Hamas war passes 300 days.
Dozens of pro-Palestine demonstrators gathered in Paris on Saturday, demanding a solution to the ongoing war and calling for a boycott of Israel at the ongoing Olympic Games.
The protesters held banners calling for “sanctions against Israeli war criminals,” “Save Palestine” and “Stop the genocide of Palestinians.”
Many also expressed anger at seeing Israel’s flag at the Paris Olympic Games.
Activists said Israeli athletes should have competed with a neutral status like those from Russia and Belarus following the invasion of Ukraine.
“My opinion is that Israel should not have anything to do with the (Olympic) Games,” said 59-year-old demonstrator Abdelali Mebarki, “Russians are taking part in the games without a banner, why not Israel as well?”
UK police arrest two pro-Palestine activists under organised crime laws
Two men who supported a direct action protest by a pro-Palestine campaign at an arms factory have been arrested on suspicion of being part of an organised crime group.
Police swooped on the pair last week over the roles they played in a Palestine Action protest two months ago. It is believed to be the first use of organised crime laws against protesters in the UK.
Lawyers criticised the arrests. Raj Chada of Hodge Jones & Allen one of the UK’s leading protest lawyers who has represented Palestine Action, Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion supporters in court, called them “a very concerning development”.
Seven protesters broke into the Instro Precision factory in Sandwich, Kent, in June. Activists say the facility makes targeting equipment for the Israeli military.
Once inside they smashed equipment, doused the walls with red paint and barricaded the doors before waited for police to arrive. All were arrested on suspicion of aggravated burglary.
Kent police said: “Two people have been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit aggravated burglary and suspicion of participating in the activities of an organised crime group following a report of a protest at Discovery Park, Sandwich, on Monday 17 June 2024.
UK proposes giving digital workers the ‘right to switch off’
Britain’s new Labour government is the latest legislature to consider how it might make it easier for digital workers using always-on technologies to turn them off at the end of the working day.
In Labour’s Plan to Make Work Pay, published before it won the UK’s July general election, it promised to address the issue, saying “We will bring in the ‘right to switch off’ so working from home does not result in homes turning into 24/7 offices.”
And this week it brought the issue back into the spotlight, with a government spokesperson telling the BBC, “Good employers understand that for workers to stay motivated and productive they do need to be able to switch off, and a culture presenteeism can be damaging to productivity,” a government spokesperson told the BBC on Monday.
Representative Andy Ogles (R-TN) is the latest victim of the DNC-CCP’s lawfare assault on the GOP, finding his home raided by the DOJ one day after winning his GOP primary. Ogles is a self-described MAGAs supporter.
As the DOJ adds to its political victims, U.S. District Judge, and top DNC-CCP lawfare assassin, Tanya Chutkan, is pushing forward with her lawfare assault on Donald Trump, rejecting Trump’s dismissal appeal in the wake of the SCOTUS ruling that renders much, if not all, of her charges moot, a sentiment shared even by MSNBC’s own legal expert.
Alvin Bragg’s office faces lawsuit over records related to Trump prosecution
A lawsuit was filed Tuesday against Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg‘s office, alleging the elected Democrat illegally withheld records related to the felony hush money case against former President Donald Trump.
The complaint, filed by the conservative group America First Legal, was prompted by Bragg’s repeated denials of AFL’s Freedom of Information Law requests, which sought communications between Bragg’s office, the Biden administration, and other parties potentially involved in what AFL described as the “partisan persecution” of Trump, the Republican presidential nominee.
“There should be nothing to hide,” AFL Vice President Daniel Epstein said in a statement. “If improper ex parte communications influenced what is supposed to be nonpartisan prosecutorial conduct, all Americans are at risk.”
FBI Raids MAGA Rep. Andy Ogles Over Campaign Donations Days After He Defeated RINO in GOP Primary
Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.), a staunch supporter of the MAGA movement, was targeted by federal authorities just days after securing a hard-fought victory in the Republican primary against a RINO challenger.
The raid, reported by local outlet WTVF on Tuesday.
Ogles, who represents a significant portion of Nashville, has been under scrutiny for his campaign’s financial practices. The timing of the raid, coming so soon after his primary win on August 1, has raised eyebrows and sparked allegations of political persecution.
Many conservatives see this as yet another example of the weaponization of federal agencies against those who dare to challenge the establishment.
According to Daily Mail, Ogles admitted to making ‘mistakes’ on his campaign finance disclosures earlier this year. He filed numerous amended reports in May, acknowledging that he had not personally loaned his campaign $320,000 as previously claimed. Other amendments led to further retractions of statements made to the Federal Election Commission.
Judge Chutkan Rejects Trump’s Motion to Dismiss Election Case, Schedules Status Conference
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan has set a status conference for mid-August in the case involving classified documents against former President Donald Trump. She also rejected his legal team’s request to dismiss the indictment.
The status conference, scheduled for August 13 at a federal courthouse in Washington, D.C., will cover procedural issues and outline the next steps in the case, according to an order signed by Judge Chutkan on August 3.
Chutkan has directed both the prosecution and defense to file a joint status report by August 9. This report should update the court on the case’s progress and may include details on any agreements or disagreements between the parties, as well as completed tasks and upcoming deadlines.
In the same order, Chutkan granted a temporary delay on the deadlines for briefing on special counsel Jack Smith’s motion to restrict the evidence and arguments that Trump’s legal team can present during the trial, especially those deemed irrelevant or prejudicial by prosecutors.
MSNBC Legal Expert Gives The Left Bad News About Trump’s DC Case
On Monday, legal expert Joyce Vance delivered her distinct opinion on the likelihood of former President Donald Trump’s impending trial in Washington, D.C. taking place before this November’s election. According to Vance, there is “absolutely no chance” of the trial proceeding in that timeframe, setting the stage for more political drama as Trump faces four felony charges related to his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.
The scheduled March trial date was previously postponed by District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan while Trump’s appeal regarding presidential immunity was still under consideration. The maneuver effectively delayed any possibility of a trial before the election, a scenario that has significant implications for Trump and the 2024 election.
“So there’s absolutely no chance this one is getting to trial,” Vance started. “That’s because the way the Supreme Court structured this decision, Judge Chutkan will make her rulings and if she permits any of the charges to go forward, any of the allegations in the indictment to remain in place, indicates that the government can use any of this evidence despite Trump’s claims that it’s all now cloaked in presidential immunity, there will be a round two appeal.”
“The way immunity works and the Supreme Court makes this clear. The whole point of having immunity is you shouldn’t have to stand trial for charges that you have immunity from. So Trump will inevitably take objection to anything that she permits to move forward. You know, I look back longingly on our days when we all assumed presidents like anyone else in the country could be prosecuted for criminal conduct.”
Arizona AG drops election subversion charges against former Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis in exchange for testimony
Former Donald Trump 2020 campaign lawyer Jenna Ellis has agreed to cooperate with prosecutors in the Arizona election subversion case, the state’s attorney general announced Monday, and charges against her will be dropped.
Ellis is expected to cooperate with prosecutors and testify against other defendants in the criminal case as part of her deal. She was originally charged with multiple felony counts in Arizona related to her alleged role in the effort to put forward fake slates of electors as part of a broader conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election results on Trump’s behalf.
Last year, Ellis pleaded guilty in the Georgia election case and was sentenced to five years of probation and $5,000 in restitution. Ellis was charged alongside several Trump allies, including his former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and Rudy Giuliani in both Arizona and Georgia. Meadows and Giuliani have pleaded not guilty in both cases.
“If I knew then what I know now, I would have declined to represent Donald Trump in these post-election challenges. I look back on this experience with deep remorse,” Ellis said in a statement after her guilty plea in Georgia.
US supreme court won’t stop Trump sentencing from going ahead
The USsupreme court has declined to halt Donald Trump’s upcoming sentencing for his conviction in state court in New York on felony charges involving hush money paid to an adult film star, Stormy Daniels, and a related gag order until after the 5 November election.
The decision by the justices came in response to a lawsuit by the state of Missouri claiming that the case against Trump infringed on the right of voters under the US constitution to hear from the Republican presidential nominee as he seeks to regain the White House, Reuters reports.
Trump is set to be sentenced on 18 September in Manhattan. He was found guilty in May of all 34 counts of falsifying business records in a criminal hush-money scheme to influence the outcome of the 2016 election.
Google has learned that its business is currently deemed an illegal monopoly in search and advertising after a ruling by a Federal Court judge. The ruling follows a lengthy anti-trust trial triggered by the Department of Justice suing Google’s parent company Meta.
In a landmark decision, a federal judge ruled on Monday that Google has violated antitrust laws by maintaining an illegal monopoly in the general search services and general search text advertising markets. The ruling comes as a huge blow to the tech giant, often criticized for its vast influence over the internet and user data.
The memorandum opinion issued by the United States District Court for the District of Columbia extensively detailed Google’s monopolistic practices. “Google is a monopolist, and it has acted as one to maintain its monopoly,” the court wrote. “It has violated Section 2 of the Sherman Act.” The lawsuit was initially filed by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and 11 states on October 20, 2020, with 38 additional states joining in a subsequent complaint.
The plaintiffs accused Google of using exclusionary agreements to dominate the market for general search services and various online advertising markets. “Google has unlawfully used the distribution agreements to thwart competition and maintain its monopoly,” the complaint asserted. After a lengthy trial process, which included the review of millions of pages of documents and testimony from numerous witnesses, the court’s findings were clear.
The judge noted, “Google’s dominance has gone unchallenged for well over a decade,” and highlighted that by 2020, nearly 90% of all search queries in the United States were handled by Google.
In an interview regarding Maryland’s “Reproductive Freedom” amendment, parental rights advocate Deborah Brocato told CatholicVote how the proposal, which is supposedly focused on expanding abortion, will have a significant impact on parental rights.
Brocato, who has four children, is a retired intensive care unit nurse who has advocated for parental and family rights for 30 years. She chairs HealthNotHarmMD, a ballot initiative committee in Maryland that fights “to preserve parental rights, preserve constitutional rights, and maintain healthcare integrity by defeating the deceptive ‘Reproductive Freedom’ amendment.”
Brocato discussed the “Reproductive Freedom Amendment” on the Maryland state ballot in November, which reads,
That every person, as a central component of an individual’s right to liberty and equality, has the fundamental right to reproductive freedom, including but not limited to the ability to make and effectuate decisions to prevent, continue, or end one’s own pregnancy. The State may not, directly or indirectly, deny, burden, or abridge the right unless justified by a compelling state interest achieved by the least restrictive means.
Judge Chutkan Rejects Trump’s Motion to Dismiss Election Case, Schedules Status Conference
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan has set a status conference for mid-August in the case involving classified documents against former President Donald Trump. She also rejected his legal team’s request to dismiss the indictment.
The status conference, scheduled for August 13 at a federal courthouse in Washington, D.C., will cover procedural issues and outline the next steps in the case, according to an order signed by Judge Chutkan on August 3.
Chutkan has directed both the prosecution and defense to file a joint status report by August 9. This report should update the court on the case’s progress and may include details on any agreements or disagreements between the parties, as well as completed tasks and upcoming deadlines.
In the same order, Chutkan granted a temporary delay on the deadlines for briefing on special counsel Jack Smith’s motion to restrict the evidence and arguments that Trump’s legal team can present during the trial, especially those deemed irrelevant or prejudicial by prosecutors.
MSNBC Legal Expert Gives The Left Bad News About Trump’s DC Case
On Monday, legal expert Joyce Vance delivered her distinct opinion on the likelihood of former President Donald Trump’s impending trial in Washington, D.C. taking place before this November’s election. According to Vance, there is “absolutely no chance” of the trial proceeding in that timeframe, setting the stage for more political drama as Trump faces four felony charges related to his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.
The scheduled March trial date was previously postponed by District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan while Trump’s appeal regarding presidential immunity was still under consideration. The maneuver effectively delayed any possibility of a trial before the election, a scenario that has significant implications for Trump and the 2024 election.
“So there’s absolutely no chance this one is getting to trial,” Vance started. “That’s because the way the Supreme Court structured this decision, Judge Chutkan will make her rulings and if she permits any of the charges to go forward, any of the allegations in the indictment to remain in place, indicates that the government can use any of this evidence despite Trump’s claims that it’s all now cloaked in presidential immunity, there will be a round two appeal.”
“The way immunity works and the Supreme Court makes this clear. The whole point of having immunity is you shouldn’t have to stand trial for charges that you have immunity from. So Trump will inevitably take objection to anything that she permits to move forward. You know, I look back longingly on our days when we all assumed presidents like anyone else in the country could be prosecuted for criminal conduct.”
Vice President Kamala Harris has selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her VP pick. Walz was selected over PA Governor Josh Shapiro, who is Jewish, to appease the antisemitic wing of the Democrat party. Walz pretended to serve in combat when he didn’t, passed laws that would kidnap children from parents who refuse to allow them to get castrated by the state in the name of trans fascism, and passed a law allowing illegal aliens to get drivers’ licenses.
He supports post-birth abortion, zero-carbon life-destroying policies, reparations for blacks, anti-white racist policies in government and education, and he delivers a hateful anti-Israel message in support of the bloodthirsty death cult Hamas. His wife reveled in the burning of Minnesota cities under her husband’s watch thanks to the George Floyd hoax, a hoax Tim Walz perpetuated every day.
PITTSBURGH — Vice President Kamala Harris’s pick of Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), the two-term governor of Minnesota, was a shot across the bow that this election cycle is going to be a get-out-the-base election rather than the coalition builder Democrats would have enjoyed if she had chosen Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) as her running mate.
Mike Mikus, a Pennsylvania-based Democratic strategist, said this race will look very similar to the election cycle we saw with former President Barack Obama’s 2012 reelection race rather than his 2008 race. In 2008, Obama ran an aspirational race with a message of “Hope and Change” that attracted a sizable amount of working-class “New Deal Democrats” to his coalition; in 2012, he shed those voters in favor of delivering the new base of Democrats called the ascendant coalition that had a heavy focus on minorities, suburban college-educated women, and young people.
As a result of that pitch to the leftward party “base,” Obama became the first president since Franklin Roosevelt to lose voters in his reelection while still winning overall — but as a unique candidate, he was able to pull that base election off.
The next Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton in 2016, was not successful with that shift left. The former first lady, who was less likable and trusted than Obama, fell short because many of those legacy New Deal Democrats had now folded long-term into the Republican Party. Joe Biden was able to bring just enough of them back in 2020, in large part because of the pandemic, but polling leading up to this cycle before the president dropped out of the running in July showed these voters’ disappointment in his left-wing governance.
This has already been a weird election cycle, and no, I’m not talking about anything JD Vance said about cat ladies. It’s the Democrats that are behaving strangely, even for them – and given that they have been maintaining a Weekend at Bernie’s presidency for almost four years, keeping befuddled old Joe Biden in place, insisting he was “sharp as a tack” and “on his game” until they couldn’t hide the fact any longer that His Dessicatedness has lost it. So now they have anointed Joe’s life insurance policy, Kamala Harris, Queen of the Word Salad. And as RedState informed you, she has picked Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her VP.
Monday, I wrote an article evaluating Kamala Harris’s possible Veep picks. Regarding Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, in particular, I wrote:
Governor Tim Walz: It won’t be Walz. He’s from a reliably blue state and has all the charisma of a lemon peel; he brings literally nothing to the campaign.
I stand by that statement – especially the lemon peel part. So why did Kamala Harris pick the pale, pasty-white, far-left Governor of Minnesota, a state that was sure to go to the Democrats in the Electoral College in any case? And why did Eric “Fast and Furious” Holder, who was in charge of vetting candidates for her, recommend this guy?
Battle of the Midwest running mates: Tim Walz vs. JD Vance
Vice President Kamala Harris’s selection of Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) as her running mate on Tuesday sets up a Midwestern showdown against Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), former President Donald Trump’s running mate.
Democrats were already rallying around Walz to join the Harris ticket, given his upbeat personality during media interviews as he attacked Trump, Vance, and the rest of the GOP as “weird,” a phrase that is relatable to non-politicos.
“There’s a lot of folks excited about him. I think he’s just a good-natured human being, and I think the party is kind of cherishing that,” said Michael Ceraso, a Democratic strategist. “And I would argue J.D. does come off more contrarian, way more contrarian than Gov. Walz.”
Walz’s Midwestern background has already prompted Democrats to claim he can nullify Vance’s benefits to the Trump campaign as an Ohio legislator who wrote about Appalachia in his book Hillbilly Elegy.
“This is really the guy that J.D. Vance is pretending to be. This is a guy from small-town America who has played by the rules,” Claire McCaskill, former Missouri senator, told MSNBC. “He’s going to be able to go after J.D. Vance and Donald Trump in a way that is really relatable and is kind of in sync with the Kamala Harris campaign.”
Are Most Americans Familiar With Gov. Tim Walz? Here’s What a New Poll Shows
On Tuesday, Vice President Kamala Harris announced that radical left-wing Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota would be her running mate in the 2024 presidential election.
As Townhall covered, Walz supports abortion up til birth, transgender surgeries for children, socialism, among other things. When the Black Lives Matter militants rioted in his cities over George Floyd’s death, Walz waited days to call in the National Guard. After the riots, Walz admitted that he failed at handling the riots.
A new poll published Tuesday asked respondents if they were familiar with Walz and his record.
The new NPR/PBS News, Marist National poll reviewed by The Hill found that over 70 percent of respondents said that they did not know enough about Walz to have an opinion on him.
In the findings, 71 percent did not know enough about Walz to form an opinion on him. On the contrary, 17 percent of respondents had a favorable opinion of him and 12 percent of respondents viewed him unfavorably.
The same survey found that Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shaprio and Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly are better known among respondents.
VP Pick Tim Walz Accused of ‘Stolen Valor’ by Former Military Colleagues: ‘He Abandoned Us’
Kamala Harris’ vice presidential pick, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, has come under fire from former military colleagues for allegedly ducking out on a deployment to Iraq in 2005.
Walz, who was just announced Tuesday as Harris’ running mate, is already being touted by liberal media outlets, including Newsweek, as “the longest-serving military veteran to be a vice presidential nominee.”
The 60-year-old served 24 years in the Army National Guard, where he reached the rank of command sergeant major.
The Newsweek account included praise from retired Army Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling, who wrote on X that those who reach that rank “know what they’re doing.”
“They uphold standards. They speak their minds to all ranks (private to generals). They’re not afraid of getting bad news because they know how to fix things when they go wrong …
Walz apparently fudged details of service in Army National Guard, prompting accusations of ‘stolen valor’
Tim Walz, the far-left Democrat governor of Minnesota who was just selected to be border czar Kamala Harris’ running mate in 2024, apparently misrepresented details regarding his re-enlistment in the Army National Guard, prompting at least one of his former colleagues in Southern Minnesota’s First Battalion-125th Field Artillery to accuse him of engaging in “stolen valor.”
Now 60, Walz joined the Army National Guard more than 40 years ago, when he was 17 years old. He then put in 20 years of service and retired.
‘What the hell kind of leadership is that?’
Shortly after his retirement, the terrorist attacks of September 11 happened, and Walz re-enlisted just weeks later. In April 2005, he was promoted to the rank of command sergeant major before retiring again the following month and launching an ultimately successful campaign for Congress.
That’s when aspects of his story become dicey.
For one thing, sometime in early 2005, Walz and other members of his battalion received word that they would be deployed to Iraq soon. Walz, the highest noncommissioned officer in the unit, then abruptly retired in May, leaving the unit without a designated leader.
Tim Walz ‘Embellished’ His Military Record, Abandoned His Battalion, Guardsmen Say
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is an unknown, but the media is already referring to him as “America’s dad.” How sweet. But the picture most of the media is drawing of Walz does not match the opinion of some soldiers in his National Guard command. They think he embellished his career with the Guard and “slithered out the door” before his unit was deployed to Iraq.
“On May 16th, 2005, [Walz] quit, betraying his country, leaving the 1-125th Field Artillery Battalion and its Soldiers hanging; without its senior Non-Commissioned Officer, as the battalion prepared for war,” retired Command Sergeants Major Thomas Behrends and Paul Herr wrote on Facebook in 2018. Walz was preparing for his first congressional campaign in 2005 when he retired.
Herr and Behrends say Walz promised his unit he would join them in Iraq before backing out. The two retired command sergeants say that Walz could have asked the Pentagon for permission to run for office while on active duty. Instead, he chose to quit.
Van Jones Says Harris Picked Walz To Appease ‘Anti-Jewish Bigots,’ Caving to ‘Darker Parts in the Party’
Democratic strategist Van Jones on Tuesday said Vice President Kamala Harris chose Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate to appease “anti-Jewish bigots” and the “darker parts” in the Democratic Party.
“You can be for the Palestinians without being an anti-Jewish bigot, but there are some anti-Jewish bigots out there. And there has to be conversations about how much of what just happened is caving into some of these darker parts in the party,” Jones said during a CNN interview Tuesday, shortly after Harris announced Walz will join her on the Democratic ticket.
Josh Shapiro, governor of key swing state Pennsylvania, had been widely seen as the favorite to become the Democratic VP candidate but came under scrutiny by progressive Democrats for his Jewish background and support for Israel in the war against Hamas.
Jones said that picking Walz over Shapiro helps Harris reach many young Democrats, especially Muslims and Arabs, who “have not felt seen by the Biden administration” and called the president “Genocide Joe” for providing military support to Israel.
“But you also have anti-Semitism that has gotten marbled into this [Democratic] Party,” Jones added.
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D., Fla.) said before Harris announced her pick that it was “very noticeable” and “deeply concerning” that “the only Jewish candidate is getting excruciating, very specific scrutiny, particularly around his positions on Israel.”
Harris ‘Listened to the Hamas Wing of Her Own Party’ in Skipping Shapiro
Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) said Tuesday that Vice President Kamala Harris “listened to the Hamas wing of her own party” in passing over Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) in favor of Gov. Tim Walz (D) of Minnesota as her running mate.
Vance, whom former President Donald Trump tapped as his running mate last month, spoke to reporters shortly after Walz was announced as Harris’s pick. He said that he had called Walz to congratulate him, and had left a voice mail.
But he also said:
Obviously, the big news of the day is that Tim Walz has been nominated as the VP, or is now the presumptive nominee, I should say, for Kamala Harris. My view on it is it just highlights how radical Kamala Harris is. This is a person who listened to the Hamas wing of her own party in selecting a nominee. This is a guy who’s proposed shipping more manufacturing jobs to China,; who wants to make the American people more reliant on garbage energy, instead of good American energy; and has proposed defunding the police, just as Kamala Harris does. I think it’s interesting, actually — they make an interesting tag team, because of course Tim Walz allowed rioters to burn down Minneapolis in the summer of 2020, and then the few who got caught, Kamala Harris helped bail them out of jail. So it is more instructive for what it says about Kamala Harris, that she doesn’t care about the border, she doesn’t hear about crime, she doesn’t care about American energy, and most importantly, she doesn’t care about the Americans who have been made to suffer under those policies.
Tim Walz Signed Bill Allowing Infanticide, Letting Babies Die Who Survive Abortions
Kamala Harris just selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate and she could not have picked a more radically pro-abortion activist to join her ticket.
Walz signed a bill to allows abortions up to birth. But he also put his signature on allowing infanticide, letting babies die who survive abortions.
Babies survive abortions every year, including five in 2021 just in Minnesota. But the state no longer protects their lives.
Minnesota Democrats took control of the state legislature in 2023 and quickly passed a series of radical pro-abortion bills. One repealed a state law that required medical providers to provide medical care for newborns who survive abortions and report the situation to authorities.
Reports are indicating Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris has selected Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) as her running mate — a choice one of America’s leading pro-life organizations says represents the “most pro-abortion Democratic ticket yet.”
“Kamala Harris and Tim Walz make up the most pro-abortion presidential ticket America has ever seen. There is no daylight between them on this issue,” SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser said in a statement. “Walz is no moderate when it comes to abortion.”
Dannenfelser pointed to legislation Walz signed in January of 2023, which was “at the time the country’s most extreme law enshrining abortion on demand throughout pregnancy as a ‘fundamental right’ without limits of any kind.”
As Breitbart News reported at the time, Walz made Minnesota the first in the nation to codify abortion via legislative action after the Supreme Court overturnedRoe v. Wade and sent the issue of abortion back to individual states and their elected representatives. The bill, called H.F. 1 or the Protect Reproductive Options (PRO) Act, was created to cement in state law the “right” to access reproductive health care options including abortion, birth control, family planning help, and sterilization.
Here is Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz signing the bill to legalize killing babies in abortions up to birth.
Tim Walz Turned His State Into A Destination For Late-Term Abortions
Minnesota Democrat Gov. Tim Walz pushed to turn Minnesota into an abortion “safe haven” just one day after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022.
Vice President Kamala Harris, who has been at the forefront of the Biden administration’s pro-abortion policies, selected Walz on Tuesday to be her running mate for the 2024 presidential election. The Minnesota governor issued an executive order on June 25, 2022, that said individuals entering Minnesota from states that restrict abortion would not be extradited for receiving the procedure.
“Reproductive freedom is a right under Minnesota law…that right no longer exists in many states, including many of our neighboring states,” Walz wrote in the order, bemoaning the restrictions states would soon apply. “The impending loss of freedom to people around the nation poses an imminent threat to the health and safety of people in Minnesota to the extent that other states may seek to infringe on essential liberties protected by the Minnesota Constitution.”
To our neighbors in Iowa: Minnesota is and will remain a safe haven for reproductive freedom.
VP Pick Tim Walz Pushed To Close Gitmo and House Terrorists in US
Minnesota governor Tim Walz, who was named Kamala Harris’s vice presidential pick on Tuesday, pushed to close the Guantanamo Bay prison camp and move its terrorist captives into holding facilities in the United States. His position put him to the left of other prominent Minnesota Democrats like Amy Klobuchar, but Gitmo, Walz said, is a “serious obstacle to peace in the Middle East.”
As a House member representing Minnesota’s First Congressional District, Walz voted against a 2009 measure that would have barred the federal government from shutting down Gitmo and relocating terrorists housed there to American cities. Walz railed against the U.S. detention camp as an obstacle to peace in the Middle East. He also argued that Minnesota’s criminal justice facilities could “handle” housing Gitmo terrorists.
“Walz said he thinks the U.S. detention facility in Guantanamo Bay is a serious obstacle to peace in the Middle East,” MPR News reported in June 2009, shortly after Walz returned from a “fact-finding trip to the Middle East.”
“Walz said Guantanamo should be closed, and the detainees there should be dealt with appropriately. He said that could include care at the Federal Medical Center in Rochester,” a federal prison in Minnesota for inmates who require long-term medical care.
Tim Walz’s immigration record: What to know about Harris’s running mate
Gov. Tim Walz’s (D-MN) record on immigration has come into focus after Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, selected the Minnesotan as her running mate.
Harris is vulnerable on immigration after being tasked early on as vice president with addressing the root causes of the border crisis — only for illegal immigration levels to rise to historic highs during her tenure.
As Harris goes up against former President Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, in November, her selection of a Democrat with a record of implementing progressive immigration policies could give Harris a leg-up with Democrats but also give pause to independents and Republicans concerned about border security.
Walz beat out centrist candidate Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), who had broken with the White House in recent years to call for President Joe Biden to finish portions of the Trump-era border wall and opposed its plan to end Title 42, a border policy that allowed illegal immigrants to be returned to Mexico.
Walz has held public office for nearly two decades and has shifted further to the Left with support for policies that benefit illegal immigrants, even reupping in early August a clip of him stating he would invest in ladders capable of getting migrants in Mexico over the border wall.
“I always say, ‘Let me know how high it is.’ If it’s 25 feet, then I’ll invest in a 30-foot-ladder factory. That’s not how you stop this,” Walz said.
Donald Trump sunk the bipartisan border security bill so he could run on the issue. He’d rather play politics for his benefit than secure our border. Kamala Harris will make sure we pass the damn thing. pic.twitter.com/bKLWUyyFWa
VP Pick Tim Walz Smiles for Cameras as He Signs Bill That Gives Illegal Immigrants Drivers Licenses
On Tuesday, a leak revealed who Vice President Kamala Harris has chosen as her running mate for the November presidential election.
Many were shocked to learn Harris opted not to pick Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, a more moderate-appearing candidate who could have helped Democrats carry Pennsylvania and other key swing states.
Instead, Harris opted to go with Minnesota’s radical Democrat Gov. Tim Walz.
That pick is already coming back to haunt her as Walz’s radical policies are brought to light.
Perhaps no video is more damning of the Walz pick than the following from March 2023, when the far-left governor signed a bill giving illegal immigrants the right to receive driver’s licenses in Minnesota.
‘I’ll Invest in a…Ladder Factory’ to Help Illegals Climb Border Wall
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Democrat presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate, is apparently fine with helping illegal aliens climb over the United States-Mexico border wall.
During an interview on CNN, Walz appeared to refer to former President Donald Trump’s border wall.
“He talks about this wall. I always say, ‘Let me know how high it is. If it’s 25 feet, then I’ll invest in a 30-foot ladder factory,’” Walz stated.
The radical leftist governor continued:
That’s not how you stop this. You stop this using electronics. You stop it using more border control agents. You stop it by having a legal system that allows for that tradition of allowing folks to come here — just like my relatives did — to come here, be able to work, and establish the American dream. He’s not interested in that. He wants to demonize.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz says he wants to invest in a “ladder factory” to help illegal immigrants climb Trump’s border wall, says we won’t have Thanksgiving dinner anymore without illegal immigrant workers.
Walz Let Rioters Burn Minneapolis While Harris Fundraised Their Bail
Minneapolis, ground zero for the Defund the Police movement, is not the kind of place you park your car with confidence. Several years after George Floyd’s death on May 25, 2020, the city averages one car theft an hour.
The forsaken Minneapolis police station on Lake Street, abandoned by cops and ransacked by rioters in 2020, still sits vacant. High fencing and overgrown weeds surround the building. There are no plans to rebuild.
In May 2024, the Lake Street Minneapolis Police station that was destroyed by rioters in 2020 is still vacant.
Colorful murals splashed on vacant businesses along Lake Street can’t hide the constant stink of dope in the air or prevent the rising crime rate. The homeless stand in line for free sandwiches some charity in a van distributes near Lake Street most days.
The police force is down in numbers and morale, as a “transformed” law enforcement system centered on “recognizing the humanity and civil rights of community members” and “addressing race-based policing” is being implemented through a consent decree between the city and the Minnesota Department of Human Rights.
Kamala boosted bail fund for Minnesota rioters after Walz let them torch Minneapolis: JD Vance
Republican vice-presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance slammed Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Vice President Kamala Harris for allowing rioters to burn Minneapolis and boosting bail funds to get them out of jail respectively. Harris selected Walz as her presidential running mate on Tuesday.
Vance said the two will “make an interesting tag team” and Walz that will not alleviate any of Harris’ perceived policy deficits.
“This is a guy who’s proposed shipping more manufacturing jobs to China, who wants to make the American people more reliant on garbage energy instead of good American energy, and has proposed defunding the police, just as Kamala Harris does. I think it’s interesting, actually, they make an interesting tag team, because, of course, Tim Walz allowed rioters to burn down Minneapolis in the summer of 2020 and then the few who got caught Kamala Harris helped bail them out of jail,” said Vance.
“So, it is more instructive for what it says about Kamala Harris that she doesn’t care about the border, she doesn’t care about crime, she doesn’t care about American energy, and most importantly, she doesn’t care about the Americans who have been made to suffer under those policies,” Vance continued.
Tim Walz Let George Floyd Rioters Burn Minneapolis
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s record amid the 2020 George Floyd riots in Minneapolis has received renewed scrutiny after Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, selected him as her running mate.
“Minnesota was ground zero for the Black Lives Matter riots of 2020. Harris egged it on, and Walz sat by and let Minneapolis burn,” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, posted on X on Tuesday.
Harris-Walz: most left-wing ticket in American history.
Minnesota was ground zero for the BLM riots of 2020. Harris egged it on and Walz sat by and let Minneapolis burn.
Harris, then a senator from California who had suspended her presidential campaign, had touted the Black Lives Matter protests even after many of them descended into violent riots.
“This is a movement, I’m telling you,” Harris told CBS “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert in June 2020. “They’re not going to stop. And everyone, beware, because they’re not going to stop. They’re not going to stop before Election Day in November, and they’re not going to stop after Election Day. And that should be—everyone should take note of that, on both levels, that they’re not going to let up, and they should not, and we should not.”
Tim Walz’s Wife Appears To PRAISE Violent BLM Riots In Shocking Re-Surfaced Clip: ‘Such A Touchstone’
Minnesota First Lady Gwen Walz has come under fire for her comments regarding the violent riots that shook Minneapolis in 2020. A resurfaced video clip showcased Walz in a rather questionable light, just as her husband, Governor Tim Walz, is thrust onto the national stage as Vice President Kamala Harris’s choice for running mate.
The clip, dating back to a 2020 interview, captures Gwen Walz discussing the early days of the Black Lives Matter riots with a disturbing sense of nostalgia. “I could smell the burning tires,” Walz recounted. “That was a very real thing. And I kept the windows open for as long as I could because I felt like that was such a touchstone of what was happening.”
The timing of the clip’s resurfacing could not be more inopportune for Governor Tim Walz, who was recently announced as Vice President Harris’s running mate in the upcoming election. Harris, who assumed the party’s nomination after President Joe Biden’s unexpected withdrawal last month, praised Walz’s “leadership and dedication” as key factors in her decision. Walz, a former Congressman and current second-term Governor, is seen as a crucial figure in an attempt to strengthen the Democrat ticket.
WATCH:
Tim Walz was in office during the Black Lives Matter riots in 2020, which began in Minneapolis before spreading throughout the nation. Before a trial had occurred, Walz condemned Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin and said the infamous video of his encounter with George Floyd was “disturbing.”
“The lack of humanity in this disturbing video is sickening. We will get answers and seek justice,” he said at the time. Chauvin was ultimately convicted of murder — after nationwide riots that killed more than 20 people and caused billions of dollars in property damage — though the trial has become a subject of intense controversy. Hundreds of pages of sworn testimony from Hennepin County prosecutors have now revealed that prosecutors acknowledged the “extreme pressure” to prosecute Derrick Chauvin and three additional former Minneapolis police officers. According to a report from Alpha News, multiple employees of the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office, including a prosecutor, withdrew after stating that the pressure to charge the other three officers involved, “violated professional and ethical rules.”
Tim Walz’s Wife Gwen Kept Windows Open During BLM Riots to ‘Smell the Burning Tires’
We all know that presumptive VP candidate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz allowed Minnesota to burn during the 2020 BLM riots.
His wife Gwen enjoyed the destruction so much that she kept her windows open to smell the burning tires:
“I would say those first days, you know when there were riots, I could smell the burning tires, and that was — that was a very real thing. And I kept the windows open as long as I could because I felt like that was such a touchstone of what was — what was happening.”
Could you imagine how you would feel if those rioters burned down your business, home, or any property?
Kamala’s new running mate Tim Walz offered teens chance to win $100k scholarship for taking COVID jab
(LifeSiteNews) — Kamala Harris’s pick to be her vice presidential running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, is an aggressive leftist who since taking office has instituted a program to bribe teens with $200 VISA cards to take the COVID-19 jab while also offering a chance to win a $100,000 scholarship; signed an executive order making Minnesota a sanctuary for gender transitions; and signed into law a “right” to unlimited abortion putting the North Star State on par with the likes of North Korea according to pro-life leaders.
In 2021, Walz announced that teens in his state who get their first COVID shot before November 30 were eligible to receive a $200 VISA gift card.
The program, aimed at 12–17-year-olds, is titled “Kids Deserve a Shot,” also includes a chance to win a $100,000 scholarship to attend a public or private Minnesota college.
The governor’s attempt at bribery was aimed at persuading kids who were otherwise disinclined to do so to take the COVID-19 jab which had already shown to have heightened risks for young people.
Without mentioning the documented risks, Walz encouraged young people via social media to go ahead and get vaccinated.
“Minnesota teens: Not only are you eligible to get vaccinated, but starting today, you can also get $200 AND a shot at a $100,000 college scholarship,” shouted a tweet from Walz.
“Tell your friends and head to [the Minnesota vaccine rewards website],” he urged.
VP Pick Tim Walz Supports Biden-Harris’s Big 3 Gun Control Policies
Democrat Vice Presidential pick Tim Walz wants the three central gun controls that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have spent years pushing in Washington, DC.
Those controls–an “assault weapons” ban, universal background checks, and red flag laws–have been pushed time and again by Biden and/or Harris at every opportunity, including those in which the gun controls had absolutely nothing to do with the events that led to their mention.
For example, the Detroit Free Pressnoted that Biden responded to the February 13, 2023, Michigan State shooting by pushing an “assault weapons” ban and universal background checks, among other controls. However, the Michigan State shooter used handguns, not an “assault weapon,” and acquired his handguns “legally,” so no additional point-of-sale background check would have hindered him.
Most recently, Harris, in her first campaign stop after Biden announced he would not seek reelection, told a Milwaukee audience, “We’ll finally pass red flag laws, universal background checks, and an ‘assault weapons’ ban.”
Walz is in lockstep with Biden and Harris on these three controls.
Harris Running Mate Tim Walz to Push for Americans to Pay ‘Carbon Tax’ to Comply with ‘Net Zero’
Kamala Harris has just struck fear into the hearts of many freedom-loving Americans by announcing that her 2024 running mate is globalist climate-radical Gov. Tim Walz.
If elected vice president, Walz, the Democrat governor of Minnesota, wants to push for Americans to pay a so-called “carbon tax” to ensure that the United States complies with the collectivist goals of the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) “Net Zero” agenda.
Walz is hoping to continue with the green agenda policies that he’s been pushing in Minnesota but on a national level.
As governor, Walz signed bills requiring Minnesota to abandon affordable and reliable energy sources.
He also slapped the state with arbitrary electric vehicle (EV) mandates.
While in Congress, Walz also voted to support controversial cap-and-trade programs while pushing for a federal carbon tax.
Daniel Turner, founder and executive director of Power The Future, warns that Walz and Harris would see the U.S. fall deeper into economic crisis in favor of the WEF’s destructive green agenda.
“If you like the record prices and sky-high inflation delivered by the Biden-Harris energy agenda, you’re going to love Tim Walz,” Turner warns.
Gov. Tim Walz Previously Campaigned For Sen. Amy Klobuchar Over Biden and Harris In 2020 Democratic Presidential Primary
As The Gateway Pundit reported on Tuesday morning, Democratic Presidential nominee Kamala Harris has tagged Democrat Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota as her running mate.
In February 2019, Gov. Walz was not a big fan of Biden and Harris and opted to endorse Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar in the 2020 Democratic Presidential primary race.
In a February 2019 post on X, Walz wrote, “I’ve worked alongside Amy for 12 years. No one is better prepared to lead our country. She’s optimistic about what we can do together.”
“I was proud to be with her at Boom Island today — and even prouder to support Amy Klobuchar for President of the United States,” added Walz.
Walz’s endorsement didn’t do much, and Klobuchar dropped out of the Democratic presidential primary, only snagging seven delegates.

I couldn’t be more proud of my friend @amyklobuchar for her incredible performance in tonight’s New Hampshire primary.
MSNBC Data Guru Dooms Harris for Picking Tim Walz as Running Mate: ‘Fell off the Cliff’
MSNBC’s data guru has spelled doom for the Democrats’ hopes of retaining the White House after Kamala Harris announced Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate for the November election.
Data reporter Steve Kornacki said Tuesday that Walz may not be able to move the needle in key states as the Democrats’ vice-presidential nominee.
Vice President Harris announced Tuesday morning she chose Walz to be her running mate.
Harris passed over Pennsylvania’s Democrat Gov. Josh Shapiro.
During an appearance on “Ana Cabrera Reports,” Kornacki said that Walz’s 2022 re-election win was similar to how Democrat President Joe Biden carried Minnesota in 2020.
“When you look at what Tim Walz actually pulled off to get elected, to get re-elected in 2022, it’s the Biden model, demographically, regionally,” Kornacki told host Ana Cabrera.
“You go county by county, there’s not much variance between how Walz did and how Biden did.
“Walz ran up huge numbers, look at this, this is the biggest county in the state, Hennepin County, Minneapolis here.
“Walz ran up huge numbers, Biden ran up huge numbers.
“Now go into greater Minnesota, let’s take a look at, like, Stearns County here,” Kornacki continued.
“Look, Walz lost this by 23 points.
“What did Biden lose it by? 23 points.
“And this is the kind of county, by the way, in Minnesota and across the Midwest here, that Democrats are hoping Walz will help them with,” Kornacki warned.
Harris-Walz is That Bad: CNBC Host Tells Viewers ‘If You Care About Your Paycheck, Go with Trump’
On Monday, as the Stock Market cratered during the Kamala Crash, CNBC’s “Mad Money” host Jim Cramer had clear advice for his viewers….support President Trump.
“If you’re in the stock market, if you care about your paycheck, you go with Trump,” Cramer said. “That’s what you do.”
Fellow CNBC host David H. Faber asked incredulously, “You do?”
Cramer responded, “Yeah, well, he wants to cut your taxes.”
Faber whined, “Oh, he wants to cut taxes.”
Cramer replied, “Your taxes.”
Faber added, “No, my taxes got raised enormously under the last Trump administration… I’m in a blue state… They want to k*ll us…..they want to put us out of business.”
JD Vance Response to Walz Pick Shows Just How It Should Be Done
Kamala Harris finally got around to picking Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate after all the confusion and drama that Democrats were putting out there on the issue.
They decided not to go with the more moderate, pro-Israel Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, likely caving to their antisemitic left. But in that choice perhaps to hold onto the left and maybe Michigan, they may have just given away the state they really need — Pennsylvania — that they pretty much have to have to win, given the current estimates.
This choice may not go over well in the other Rust Belt states. They picked a guy who compared socialism to neighborliness and talked dismissively about the red states as being full of “rocks and cows.”
Ron DeSantis Absolutely Destroys Kamala’s Running Mate, Tim Walz
There’s been a lot of reaction to Kamala Harris’s selection of Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) as her running mate, and one of my favorites comes from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who destroyed Tim Walz and his abysmal record as governor of Minnesota.
“We all remember the [Black Lives Matter] riots of 2020 in Minneapolis,” he said during a press conference in Steinhatchee, Fla., on Tuesday morning. “Those were riots that Harris egged on and raised money to bail out the rioters with the Minnesota bail fund. And they were riots that Tim Waltz, as governor, sat back and let happen. He sat back and let the city of Minneapolis burn. That city has been gutted as a result of those riots. We would never allow that to happen in the state of Florida. So this is a ticket that really represents the spirit of those 2020 BLM riots.”
DeSantis continued, “And you have a very vapid San Francisco Democrat, and then you’ve got an Ilhan Omar-style leftist, Tim Walz, who has the same policies as his fellow Minnesotan, Ilhan Omar.We do not need an America that represents the failed policies of San Francisco or the failed policies of Minneapolis.We do not need to see poop on the street and cities burning down.That is not a prescription for America to work its way back.And I can just tell you, as governor of Florida, particularly in that 2020–2021 period, people fled those jurisdictions.And they’d come to Florida, and they would tell me about the mismanagement, and about letting the inmates run the asylum and how that just destroyed the quality of life.And so I think it was in that period, you were five times more likely to move from Minnesota to Florida than vice versa, and that’s a result of people fleeing those failed policies.”
Mike Johnson Reacts to Walz Pick, Calls Out Democrats’ ‘Pro-Palestinian, in Some Cases Pro-Hamas Wing’
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is the latest to call out the blatant discrimination in the Democrat party, saying that Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro was overlooked as a potential choice to become Democrat presidential hopeful Kamala Harris’ running mate because of his Jewish heritage.
Johnson sat down for an interview with The Hill shortly after it was announced that Kamala had chosen leftist Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to be on her ticket. Johnson said the Keystone State governor would have been the “stronger choice”:
“I think that [Shapiro’s faith] clearly was a major factor, is that she was reluctant to put a vice presidential nominee on the ticket with Jewish heritage because they’re having a split in the Democratic Party,” Johnson said. “They have a pro-Palestinian, in some cases pro-Hamas wing of the Democratic Party.”
“Sadly for Josh Shapiro, because of his heritage, I think that is the reason he was overlooked,” Johnson added.
Johnson is far from the only one calling out the distorted values in the Democrat party; my colleague Mike Miller wrote earlier about CNN pundit Van Jones, who is anything but a conservative, calling out “anti-Jewish” bigots:
But you also have anti-Semitism that has gotten marbled into this party. You can be for the Palestinians without being an anti-Jewish bigot. But there are some anti-Jewish bigots out there and there’s some disquiet now and there has to be. How much of what just happened is caving into some of these darker parts in the party?
Documents have emerged that show Moderna has always known that the pharmaceutical giant’s Covid mRNA shots cause cancer.
The evidence has surfaced as cases of rapidly developing “turbo cancer” are continuing to surge around the world.
As Slay News has reported, cancer diagnoses have been soaring among those who have received Covid mRNA shots.
The cases spike in 2021, after the shots were rolled out to the public, and are continuing to surge today.
A veteran doctor, who has served as a hospital emergency room (ER) physician for over 25 years, recently raised the alarm over a dramatic surge in diagnoses of “obvious” cases of “turbo cancer.”
Dr. Ben Marble warns that the spike started in 2021 – after Covid mRNA shots were rolled out for public use.
Marble says in the years he’s served as an ER doctor, since 1998, he only ever diagnosed one, or maybe two, new cases of “obvious cancer” a year.
However, since 2021, Marble says he is now diagnosing a new case of “turbo cancer” as often as “once a week.”
Additionally, the doctor says “every time” he diagnoses a new case of “turbo cancer,” the patient is someone who received a Covid mRNA injection.
Raskin Caught On Tape Explaining Democrats’ SHOCKING Plot To Keep Trump Out Of Office
Congressman Jamie Raskin has (D-MD) been caught on tape detailing a controversial plan to prevent former President Donald Trump from assuming the presidency, even if he is selected by American voters. The video captured Raskin discussing what he sees as a constitutional mechanism to disqualify Trump.
Raskin specifically referenced Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, expressing a chilling determination to use Congress as a barrier against Trump’s reinstatement. “What can be put into the Constitution can slip away from you very quickly. And the greatest example going on right now before our very eyes is Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which they’re just disappearing with a magic wand, as if it doesn’t exist, even though it could not be clearer what it’s stating,” Raskin said.
“They want to kick it to Congress. So it’s going to be up to us on January 6, 2025, to tell the rampaging Trump mobs that he’s disqualified and then we need bodyguards.”
Raskin went on to criticize the Supreme Court Justices for their alleged reluctance to interpret the 14th Amendment as he believes they should. “For everybody in civil war conditions all because the nine justices, not all of them, but these justices who have not many cases to look at every year, not that much work to do, a huge staff, great protection, simply do not want to do their job and interpret what the great 14th amendment means,” he said.
The Supreme Court rejected Missouri’s lawsuit against New York over the prosecution of former President Donald Trump on Monday.
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey sued the state of New York in July, alleging its prosecution of Trump violated the First Amendment right of Missouri citizens to hear from a 2024 presidential candidate. In a brief order, the Supreme Court declined to allow Missouri to file its complaint and dismissed its motion for preliminary relief.
Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito would have allowed Missouri to file its complaint, according to the order.
“No doubt it is true that the Constitution would not have tolerated a future Confederate state gagging and sentencing Abraham Lincoln in 1860 to interfere with his campaign for the Presidency,” Missouri’s lawsuit stated. “Doing so obviously would have interfered with federal interests the same way Maryland’s attempt to tax the Bank of the United States did 40 years earlier.”
“Constitutionally, it is no different with New York’s attempt to use coercive power in the form of a gag order and impending sentence to interfere with Donald Trump’s campaign,” the lawsuit continued.
Was it Hunter with the cocaine in the cabinet room? Ashley with the cocaine in the Oval Office? Or was it a stranger with access to the White House reference library? The mystery of the cocaine found in the White House over the July 4, 2023, holiday was closed for lack of evidence almost as soon as it began. But now there are revelations of a cover-up in the case.
A new report finds that former director Kim Cheatle, forced to resign over the disastrous near-assassination of Donald Trump, wanted the evidence destroyed, the substance not tested, and the case closed quickly. This was despite the high profile nature of the story — the evacuation of the entire White House, including the media, due to fears that the white powder, which a uniformed Secret Service agent discovered, was ricin or anthrax.
Having been on the Biden’s Secret Service detail, Cheatle probably knew what it was.
The story exploded into the media as gowned-up people in hazmat bunny suits combed the White House.
The White House was briefly evacuated Sunday evening while Biden was at Camp David after the Secret Service discovered a suspicious powder in a common area of the West Wing.
On July 2, 2023, the U.S. Secret Service discovered a small amount of cocaine at the White House. The substance was found in a cubby area inside a vestibule used for storing electronic devices at the West Executive Avenue entrance, a location that sees a lot of traffic from staff and visitors. Tests by the District of Columbia Fire and Emergency Medical Services later confirmed the presence of cocaine.
Despite extensive forensic efforts, including fingerprint and DNA analysis by the FBI, no conclusive evidence was found to identify a suspect. The area where the cocaine was discovered is accessible to hundreds of people, and the lack of surveillance footage capturing the act made it impossible to pinpoint who might have brought the substance into the White House. As a result, the Secret Service closed the investigation due to insufficient evidence to proceed further.
According to three sources in the Secret Service community who spoke to RealClearPolitics, there was a significant rift among top leaders over how to handle the illicit substance. Former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, along with other senior figures, reportedly pushed to destroy the cocaine. However, the suggestion was met with firm resistance from both the Secret Service Forensics Services Division and the Uniformed Division, who insisted on preserving the evidence.
The Secret Service has denied a report that former Director Kimberly Cheatle and other agency leaders wanted to destroy cocaine found in the White House.
“This is false. The US Secret Service takes its investigative and protective responsibilities very seriously,” agency spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said. “There are retention policies for criminal investigations and the Secret Service adhered to those requirements during this case.”
A story in RealClearPolitics cited three anonymous sources within the Secret Service who claimed that Cheatle, who recently resigned in the fallout from the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, reassigned an officer who wanted to follow a specific crime scene investigative protocol after the discovery. Guglielmi’s statement did not address that aspect of the report.
Aside from the novelty of illicit drugs being found inside the executive mansion, troubled first son Hunter Biden was staying in the White House in the days before the cocaine was discovered on July 2 and then publicly reported on July 4, sparking questions about the source of the drugs.
The initial discovery triggered a brief evacuation of the White House grounds as the substance was tested to rule out the possibility it was anthrax or another deadly powder. Because the evacuation included members of the press, it became impossible to keep the discovery hidden from the public.
Yet another study has revealed the Covid-19 vaccine is causing lethal side effects, with the last coming from Japan that shows the vaccine causes a certain kind of heart damage that leads to sudden lethal heart attacks.
Yet the globalists continue to push on, with the World Health Organization (the WHO) calling on the creation of a worldwide mRNA vaccine program for bird flu while a pro-vax doctor calls on the military and the police to neutralize “anti-vaccine aggression.”
A new study has identified another form of heart damage that is causing sudden deaths to surge among people who have been injected with Covid mRNA shots.
Top Japanese scientists uncovered evidence linking Pfizer’s mRNA shot to severely weakened hearts.
The team of researchers at the Narita-Tomisato Tokushukai Hospital in Japan, led by renowned cardiologist Katsuya Hashimoto, found that Covid shots are causing another form of heart inflammation that had not previously been linked to the injections.
Inflammation of the heart reduces its ability to pump blood around the body.
This weakened state can cause blood clots, cardiac arrest, strokes, and sudden death.
The inflammation is difficult to diagnose due to it often being symptomless, creating a ticking timebomb for sufferers.
… Stevenson’s lengthy thread featured numerous examples of Butch seeming to endorse the “Olympic Jesus” interpretation.
For instance, Butch shared an image from another Instagram account that showed the Olympics scene at the top of the page and da Vinci’s “The Last Supper” at the bottom.
The words “Oh Yes! Oh Yes! The New Gay Testament!” accompanied the image.
Butch also shared this post that I have seen from multiple accounts, describing the image as the “gay New Testament.”
In short, the official explanation does not square with a key performer’s interpretation.
“The posts from Butch suggest – in contrast to the Olympics’ statement – that is was the Last Supper,” Stevenson wrote.
In other words, the center person in the portrayal was posting that she was depicted as the “Olympic Jesus” in the Last Supper even as the organization was trying to backtrack.
The posts from Butch suggest – in contrast to the Olympics’ statement – that is was the Last Supper.
