Kilpper: From vasectomy vans to hotties for Harris, The DNC was truly a freak show

By Gage Kilpper, Commentary | Daily Caller Throughout the Democratic National Convention, Democrats made a big show out of being “normal,” of standing for “freedom” and traditional, patriotic values. They did their best, but of course it is all a lie; there’s nothing normal about them. Allow me to guide you through the Democrats’ wondrous world of human freaks and oddities. But first, we must get inside! Careful, this is a dangerous path. Stay alert as we wade through the crowds of unwashed protesters — rabid, the lot of them. Feast your eyes on a veritable buffet of causes. Do you want to see the destruction of Israel? Care to donate to Hamas? Perhaps trans rights are more your speed. Or, think bigger: the true idealists here want global intifada or worldwide communist revolut...

Dana Bash characterized Democrats as an estrogen-fueled movement uncomfortable with traditional respect for masculinity.

By Tristian Justice | The Federalist Despite the Kamala Harris presidential campaign’s desperate appeal to white male voters with camouflage trucker hats, CNN’s Dana Bash characterized Democrats as an estrogen-fueled political movement uncomfortable with traditional traits of masculinity. Doug Emhoff and Vice-Presidential nominee Tim Walz, Bash said Thursday at the Democratic National Convention (DNC), represent the party’s effort to “put forward male figures” who “can speak to men out there who might not be the testosterone-laden, gun-toting type of guy who wants to listen to Hulk Hogan.” “In addition,” Bash said, the party’s representation of masculinity intends to send the message that “it’s okay in 2024 to be a man comfortable in his own skin who supports a woman.” ...

Vivek Ramaswamy swarmed by anti-Israel protesters — and ‘Crackhead Barney’ — just blocks from DNC

By Josh Christensen | New York Post Anti-Israel protesters swarmed former GOP presidential primary candidate Vivek Ramaswamy as he crossed Union Park in Chicago, just blocks from the DNC. “Racist go home! Racist go home!” the demonstrators shouted at Ramaswamy as his security detail formed a bubble of protection around him. “Why are you a genocidal warmonger?” she cried. The internet personality has made headlines for harassing Alec Baldwin in an anti-Israel temper tantrum at a coffee shop in the Big Apple — and later hamming it up on “Piers Morgan Uncensored” about the incident.

Trump blasts Harris as part of Truth Social flurry on what she ‘didn’t mention’ in DNC speech

By Andrew Mark Miller | Fox News CHICAGO – Former President Donald Trump, as part of a live thread on Truth Social, blasted the Democratic National Convention speech of Vice President Kamala Harris in a variety of posts including one after she concluded talking about what she "didn't mention." "She didn’t mention China, she didn’t mention fracking, she didn’t mention Energy, she didn’t mention, meaningfully, Russia and Ukraine, she didn’t mention the big subjects of the day, that are destroying our Country," Trump posted on Truth Social shortly after Harris' speech concluded.  The former president posted several criticisms of Harris during the speech on several issues.

3 Things Kamala Harris Left Out of Her DNC Speech

By Bradley Delvin | Daily Signal Before Vice President Kamala Harris hit the stage to accept her party’s nomination for president Thursday night at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, her campaign told reporters what to expect.  Harris campaign officials leaked to the press that the sitting vice president would reintroduce herself to Americans, despite being the second most powerful person in the country for the past three and a half years.  And although questions linger about Harris’ policy positions despite her becoming the presumptive nominee shortly after fellow Democrats forced President Joe Biden out of the race a month ago, Harris was expected to take aim at The Heritage Foundation-led Project 2025, a policy agenda for the next conservative a...

Daniel Davidson: In fake news infomercial, the DNC has been one long litany of stupid, obvious lies

By John Daniel Davidson | Commentary, The Federalist It almost goes without saying that what Democrats are putting on at the DNC this week in Chicago is a simulacrum of democracy, a mimicry of the excitement and drama that might have come from a deliberative process of Democrat Party voters choosing their presidential candidate. None of it is real. The DNC has all the trappings of a major political party convention but without any of the substance. Not a single Democrat voter cast a primary ballot for Vice President Kamala Harris, yet Democrats are going through the motions as if that’s exactly what happened.

DNC Day 3: Keynote Tim Walz denounced by 50 GOP military vets in Congress for lying about rank, dodging deployment

By Josh Christenson | New York Post Fifty Republican members of Congress who are military veterans denounced Democratic vice presidential pick Tim Walz on Wednesday for having lied about his rank in the Army National Guard and retiring before a deployment to Afghanistan to pursue his political aspirations. The House and Senate GOP lawmakers, led by Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fla.), a retired US Army staff sergeant who chairs Veterans and Military Families for Trump, blasted out an open letter to the Minnesota governor, asking him to correct the “egregious misrepresentations” about his military record. “[Y]ou have lied your way through a political career launched on the foundation of a title you did not earn and combat deployments you did not take part in,” the former military se...

Obama suffers with Trump Derangement Syndrome: He is ‘annoying neighbor using leaf blower everyday’

By Hannah Knudsen | Breitbart Former President Barack Obama made it abundantly clear during his DNC speech Tuesday evening that former President Donald Trump, the Republican nominee for president, is living rent free in his head, going on and on about him in his divisive diatribe before later suggesting that it is the political right that lacks tolerance. Obama opened up his speech by praising President Joe Biden, whom he identified as a friend. But it did not take long for the 44th president to devolve into a long attack on Trump, perhaps signaling that he is truly concerned there could be a second Trump term on the horizon. “This will still be a tight race in a closely divided country — a country where too many Americans are still struggling, where a lot of Americans don’t belie...

Pro-Israel group denied permit to march, but Pro-Palestinian group got to march in Chicago

By Joel B. Pollak | Breitbart A pro-Israel group that was denied a permit to march during the Democratic National Convention gathered in a makeshift “Hostage Square” in the West Loop on Tuesday to make their voices heard. The original “Hostage Square” is front of an art museum in Tel Aviv, Israel, and was given that name after it became a gathering place for the families of kidnapped and missing Israelis in the wake of the Hamas terror attack of October 7. Like its namesake in Israel, the “Hostage Square” in Chicago features art installations that draw attention to the victims of Hamas — in particular, to U.S. citizens who were murdered or taken hostage. Five American hostages remain: Keith Siegel, 65, Sagui Dekel-Chen, 35, Omer Neutra, 22, Edan Alexander, 20, and Hersh Goldb...
