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.

Texas AG Targets Dems for Vote Tampering

pgnewser August 22, 2024 0

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) has issued search warrants targeting a number of Democrat activists in Bexar County, the state’s fourth-highest populated county, which includes the major city of San Antonio. The searches involve alleged ballot box voter tampering.

Paxton stated, “We are completely committed to protecting the security of the ballot box and the integrity of every legal vote. This means ensuring accountability for anyone committing election crimes.”

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s (R) office executed search warrants in one of the state’s largest urban counties — and biggest Democratic strongholds — where it alleges vote tampering.

On Tuesday, the attorney general’s office searched offices in Bexar County, the state’s fourth most populous county and the home of San Antonio.

The office said the searches followed a two-year investigation and that “secure elections are the cornerstone of our republic.”

The searches came amid a broader push by Paxton to prosecute election fraud — a campaign that in 2023 spent $2.3 million to prosecute just four cases, according to the Houston Chronicle.

“We are completely committed to protecting the security of the ballot box and the integrity of every legal vote. This means ensuring accountability for anyone committing election crimes,” Paxton said in a statement.

The office said the case was referred by state District Attorney Audrey Louis, a conservative Republican whose district abuts Bexar.

Louis made that referral in 2022, after a unanimous 2021 ruling by the Court of Criminal Appeals (CCA). Appellate court judges found that Paxton could not unilaterally investigate election crimes and required him to only prosecute such cases in conjunction with a local DA — a ruling that drove Paxton to urge supporters to flood the court with calls.

FTC Noncompete Ban Struck Down

pgnewser August 22, 2024 0

The Federal Trade Commission’s new rules that effectively ban non-compete agreements in businesses, agreements that prevent a released person from competing in the same market as their previous business, was struck down by U.S. District Judge Ada Brown from the Dallas Court.

She wrote in her decision “The Court concludes that the FTC lacks statutory authority to promulgate the Non-Compete Rule, and that the Rule is arbitrary and capricious. Thus, the FTC’s promulgation of the Rule is an unlawful agency action. (The rule) is hereby SET ASIDE and shall not be enforced or otherwise take effect on September 4, 2024, or thereafter.”

US judge strikes down Biden administration ban on worker ‘noncompete’ agreements

A federal judge in Texas on Tuesday barred a US Federal Trade Commission rule from taking effect that would ban employers from requiring their workers to sign non-compete agreements.

The ban, which had been scheduled to go into effect nationwide on September 4, is now effectively blocked.

US District Judge Ada Brown in Dallas said the FTC does not have the authority to ban practices it deems unfair methods of competition by adopting broad rules.

“The Court concludes that the FTC lacks statutory authority to promulgate the Non-Compete Rule, and that the Rule is arbitrary and capricious. Thus, the FTC’s promulgation of the Rule is an unlawful agency action,” Brown wrote in her order. “(The rule) is hereby SET ASIDE and shall not be enforced or otherwise take effect on September 4, 2024, or thereafter.”

Brown had temporarily blocked the rule in July for a small number of employers while she considered a bid by the US Chamber of Commerce, the country’s largest business lobby, and tax service firm Ryan to strike it down entirely.

Biden Admin Looks to Give Illegals Free Healthcare, 15 States are Suing

pgnewser August 22, 2024 0

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.”

Excerpt from trendingpoliticsnews.com

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.”

Biden Loses 899K Jobs after 2023 Jobs Revision Released

pgnewser August 22, 2024 0

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.

Go to Article
Excerpt from thefederalist.com

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.

Biden-Harris Department of Energy Official Pushes for ‘Queering Nuclear Weapons’ as a Component of a Radical DEI Strategy– conservativeroof.com

Excerpt from conservativeroof.com

In February 2024, Sneha Nair was appointed as a special assistant at the National Nuclear Security Administration by the Biden-Harris administration.

For the past several months, Nair has been working tirelessly to “eradicate white supremacy” and believes “queering nuclear weapons” will enhance the protection of nuclear energy facilities in the U.S.

“Finally, queer theory informs the struggle for nuclear justice and disarmament,” Sneha Nair wrote last year. “Queer theory helps to shift the perception of nuclear weapons as instruments for security by telling the hidden stories of displacement, illness, and trauma caused by their production and testing.”

Sneha Nair emphasized that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is essential to ensuring security.

“By understanding DEI as a set of values critical to security, and therefore as an element of an effective nuclear security culture, stakeholders can explore how DEI can contribute to stronger security at nuclear facilities,” she said.

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.

Per Just The News:

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.”

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.

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 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.

DNC: Texas Sheriff Gaslights Crowd Over the Border, Throws Trump ‘Under the Bus’

At the Democratic National Convention, a lineup of speakers tackled immigration and border security.

But instead of calling out Kamala Harris and asking her to do more, they flipped it.

They pointed the finger at Trump, saying he’s the reason it’s out of control.

Especially one sheriff form Texas, Javier Salazar.

He was quick to say that Trump goes to the border for photo-ops and selfish reasons.

Basically saying it’s all his fault and Trump is not for us Americans.

Sadly, a lot of those in attendance agreed with this propaganda.

If you’re in Texas, be sure to vote him out.

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)
  • Jared Polis, Governor of Colorado (Princeton)
  • Mindy Kaling, Actor (Dartmouth)
  • Bill Clinton, former President (Yale)
  • Amanda Gorman, poet (Harvard)
  • Pete Buttigieg, Secretary of Transportation

Excerpt from thefederalist.com

The Department of Justice (DOJ) continues to hound pro-life activists who go to abortion businesses and try to convince pregnant women not to kill their babies.

A Detroit, Michigan, jury found seven pro-lifers guilty Tuesday of engaging in a civil rights conspiracy and violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act for standing and sitting in front of the door of the Northland Family Planning Clinic in Sterling Heights, Michigan, Aug. 27, 2020.

The 1994 Clinton-era FACE Act makes it a federal crime to intimidate or interfere with someone getting an abortion. Combined with the conspiracy charge the DOJ has added to recent FACE charges, the combined convictions carry a penalty of up to 11 years and up to $250,000 in fines. In this case, the conspiracy was about posting and live-streaming the group’s actions on social media.

According to the DOJ indictment, those convicted in this case sat in front of the abortion business’ door and refused to move when women tried to get inside. Later, the police asked them to move and they did not move until they were arrested.

“They’re degrading human life and women for that matter. It’s just absolutely disgusting. This continued celebration of abortion,” Democrats For Life of America executive director Kristen Day told Fox News Digital.

Day is appalled that Planned Parenthood is offering free abortions inside a “mobile health clinic” parked in Chicago during the convention. Pro-abortion activists also marched through the streets of Chicago ahead of the convention.

“I think this convention is going to be abortion-palooza. In response to them providing abortions, we would provide actual support to women in need. So, we started a diaper drive,” Day said.

Kamala Harris’ $25,000 First-Time Homebuyer Subsidy, Building Tax Credits, Will Fuel Housing Inflation—Just Like The Housing Bubble– lidblog.com

Excerpt from lidblog.com

Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign has unveiled a new scheme to facilitate home building and home purchases with hundreds of billions of dollars of subsidies, including a $25,000 first-time homebuyer subsidy. The campaign estimates that it will cost $100 billion to facilitate 1 million first-time home purchases a year over the next four years.

Additionally, Harris wants to expand homebuilder tax credits to facilitate the construction of an additional 3 million new units over that time.

Similar incentives are already used by Congress via the Departments of Housing and Urban Development and Treasury to facilitate home and apartment construction and renovation, including $3.3 billion of community development block grants, but what Harris is proposing is much larger.

In the 2000s, underwriting standards were reduced to facilitate an expansion of mortgage loans to homebuyers. According to the New York Federal Reserve data, a massive injection of credit as mortgage debt nearly doubled from $4.9 trillion in 2003 to $9.29 trillion by the end of 2008, as home prices jumped a gargantuan 40 percent according to the Freddie Mac Home Price Index. The number of mortgage holders had skyrocketed from 80 million in 2003 to 98 million in 2008. From 2003 to 2007, more than 9 million new privately owned units were put onto the market.

Harris Riding Wave of ‘Unopposed’ Media Praise, Former Clinton Adviser Says– freebeacon.com

Excerpt from freebeacon.com

Former Clinton adviser Mark Penn credited Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris’s increased popularity to the “unopposed media,” which has been non-stop “praising her” since she launched her campaign.

“She’s had unopposed media praising her, and we’ve seen her numbers move from 38 percent favorable to 47 percent favorable,” Penn, who served as chief strategist on Bill and Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaigns, said on Fox’s Mornings With Maria Bartiromo Tuesday. “Now, in the background, two-thirds are unhappy with the economy, two-thirds were unhappy with the direction of the country, almost 60 percent were unhappy with the administration, and most people didn’t like her as vice president.”

Penn’s comments come as a recent report from Media Research Center, a conservative media watchdog group, found that mainstream media coverage has been heavily skewed in favor of the vice president. The study showed that 84 percent of Harris’s coverage has been positive, while 89 percent of Trump’s has been negative on CBS, NBC, and ABC.

“Not only has Harris received 66 percent more airtime than former President Donald Trump, but the spin of Harris’s coverage has been more positive (84 percent) than any other major party nominee, even as Trump’s coverage has been nearly entirely hostile (89 percent negative),” according to the study, which ran from the day President Joe Biden exited the race until Aug. 17.

Kamala Harris’ Economic Plan Is American Peronism– www.dailysignal.com

Excerpt from www.dailysignal.com

Price controls, higher taxes, government intervention, and subsidies paid for by printing a constantly devalued currency. These are the essential pillars of “21st-century socialism” and of the radical left ideology of Peronism that obliterated Argentina. These are also the main elements of the economic plan presented by Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party. Undoubtedly, this is the most radical socialist economic plan ever announced by the Democrats.

According to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, Harris’ proposals will cost $1.95 trillion over 10 years. However, it emphasizes that if certain measures become permanent, this figure could increase to $2.25 trillion.

The Harris campaign has stated that these costs will be offset by a classic excuse of socialism in any election: “higher taxes on corporations and high earners.” This is, obviously, ludicrous, because there is no revenue measure that will cover the already bloated $2 trillion annual deficit and the added $2 trillion from Harris’ proposals.

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.

Democrats overlook the Clintons’ ‘problematic’ past at DNC

CHICAGO — The Obamas are not the only Democratic power couple being spotlighted at the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

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.”

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.

Even the media wasn’t happy with what’s going on.

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.

Anti-Israel Protesters Disrupt Colbert’s DNC Interview With Pelosi – RedState– redstate.com

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?

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.

DNC’s Law & Order Parody Calls Out Trump As Convicted Felon– crooksandliars.com

A blistering ad during last night’s Democratic National Convention laid waste to the lie that Republicans are the party of Law & Order. They are not. They shield lawbreakers, men who sexually assaulted women, business cheats, and politicians who would overturn free and fair elections.

NARRATOR: In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups, the police who investigate crime and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders. This is the story of Donald Trump.

His entire life, Trump has believed he’s above the law, that no one would ever dare hold him accountable. He lies. He rips off workers. He sexually abuses women.

TRUMP: And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.

NARRATOR: He cheats in business. He cheated on his wife with a porn star and paid her off so the American people wouldn’t find out during an election.

But in the criminal justice system, ordinary Americans have had the courage to find him accountable, time and time again.
