Chicago businesses are boarding up because of the DNC.

Isn’t it funny how the party of tolerance and joy comes to town and everyone has to brace for violence?
10:23 AM · Aug 17, 2024 //

["CHICAGO BOARD-UP SERVICES INC"]

It's a sign of the times when the Democrats plan a convention, and everyone knows months in advance there will be violence. It's also a sign of who they are—you didn't see this going on in advance of the successful GOP convention in Milwaukee in July.

The only real question left is: how bad will it be?

"It's going to stop us from being builders, and we need to support the side that's going to let our civilization thrive," Lonsdale added.

That's always been the trouble with leftist policies; they are deeply and fundamentally anti-growth, anti-business, and anti-prosperity. Kamala Harris's policies (at least, what we know of them if you can keep track of her policy changes as they go by) include increasing taxation and regulation and attempting to make sure "everyone ends up in the same place," which smacks of socialism.

These are not things that investment bankers or tech moguls want to hear. //

Don' you like the idea Kamala will pay millions of our tax dollars for armies of new government employees, just to track down the price of celery at your local super market?

Always, always, always ask how many new government employees (D) any Democrat program will require. That is the real name of the game - expand Big Government(D).

We are close to a critical tipping point where Big Government(D) finally swallows the rest of us whole. Yes, it is that critical.

A source told Axios that “the campaign buys search ads with news links to give voters searching for information about Vice President Harris more context.”

The campaign has rewritten headlines since August 3, targeting over a dozen outlets:

The Associated Press
CBS News
CNN
The Guardian
The Independent UK
NPR
PBS
Time
USA Today
The Guardian, CNN, USA Today, and NPR told Axios they had no idea the Harris campaign had these ads. //

The ads include links to real articles from the news outlets, but the headlines and supporting text have been altered to read as though the articles support the Harris campaign’s objectives. //

Yesterday, Sara Fischer of Axios threw a fit on CNN over “disinformation” and Elon Musk allowing Trump to “say whatever he wants.”

Today, she’s hand-waving away the Kamala Harris campaign editing press headlines in ads to spread disinformation.

Incredible.

Do you understand how it works? Democrats can get away with things Republicans can’t. If the GOP even tried this it would be national headlines.

Ok, then, why does Harris have to wait to become president to do anything about, well, anything? //

Former Biden domestic policy adviser Susan Rice described presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris as an “integral architect” of President Joe Biden’s agenda.

Kamala: "When I am president, it will be a day one priority to bring down prices."

Kamala has been Vice President for 1,301 days.

Prices are up 20.2% while real average weekly wages are down 3.9%.

If Kamala has a plan to bring down prices, why isn't she doing it right now?

To be clear, they’re lying. The ‘support staff’ for the current administration makes all the decisions, determines what legislation to push, what to ignore, who to promote, what agendas to embrace, and so on. The only real decisions the two nitwits at the top of this anthill have made over the last three years is what bribes to take. The positions of the current administration have proven to be highly profitable for the current administration and their supporters, but crushing and destructive for the rest of the country. In order to get reelected, the support staff need to position the current administration as opposed to the current administration, and to that end they are lying like crazy. Hopefully, they lose. Big.

Here's Trump's full quote: "I don't know if [Biden is] happy about that decision [to quit]. The presidency was taken away from Joe Biden. And I'm no Biden fan. But I'll tell you what, from a constitutional standpoint, from any standpoint, you're looking at they took the presidency away."

Let me add one more thing before you go because this is another thing that needs to be said out loud, even though hardly anyone will. //

It was noble.

Biden was more than Trump's political rival. He's a man who has spent the last five years smearing Trump (and millions of Trump voters) as a racist, a phobic, a hater, a would-be dictator, an authoritarian, and worse. But now that Biden is as low as any president has been since Richard Nixon was forced out of office 50 years ago this week, Trump spoke the truth about what Biden's own party did to him.

A recently surfaced recording of a Zoom call between the Biden/Harris team from 2020 reveals disconcerting evidence of the team's intentional targeting and manipulation of voters and relentless bullying of media outlets to control information. //

“One of the smartest things that the party did itself was over the last couple of years, they actually invested in a team that Tim runs… to detect and track misinformation and misinformation narratives in various corners of the internet and then flag them to platforms as a violation of their policy.” //

But the Biden team didn't just get the media to forward their deception, they changed real votes. According to Rinkevich, "concern around [Biden's] mental acuity in particular went down by 8 points over the course of our campaign," resulting in "about 200K" votes for Biden. /16

Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, is being accused of cowardice and lying about his service record while he was serving in the Minnesota National Guard before his time as governor. In a letter to the editor of the West Central Tribune dated November 2, 2018, retired Command Sergeants Major Thomas Behrends and Paul Herr alleged that Walz lied or embellished his service record and shirked his duty as the senior enlisted leader of a Minnesota National Guard unit as it was about to be deployed to Iraq in 2005. //

When Walz and his battalion received warning orders that he, along with the battalion, would need to prepare for activation and mobilization for deployment to Iraq in early 2005, Walz committed the ultimate sin. He quit on his soldiers. //

His official retirement document states, SOLDIER NOT AVAILABLE FOR SIGNATURE. //

When the going gets tough, the walzers go walzing.

This is not a slip of the tongue. Smith serves with Vance in the Senate. She has to be familiar with his life story. This was an attempt to set a narrative with CNN's native demographic of low-functioning midwits. Note how reluctant Acosta is to upset the apple cart.

Taken together, these two things indicate that Donald Trump and JD Vance are facing opponents who will casually tell the most extravagant lies and stoop to the worst kind of slanderous comments because they know their audience doesn't care and they have no fear of being challenged by the media.

There is no evidence that Donald Trump faked a disability to dodge the draft. That allegation has floated around and was investigated in detail by the New York Times. As Hasan was one of the loud voices pushing the debunked Russia Hoax, I wouldn't expect him to be particularly persuaded by the truth. But, arguendo, let's concede that a friendly doctor got Trump out of the draft after his student deferments ran out in 1972. By 1972, American involvement in the Vietnam War was running down. Trump's birthday is June 14, giving him a lottery number of 113. The highest lottery number called up in Trump's year of eligibility was 95. //

And let’s not forget that after being shot and shot at Trump’s gotten right back up and gone right back out there, while knowing for a fact that the agency that is supposed to have his back is at best case incompetent for the job.

Walz didn’t even get to the point where he might get shot at before he cut and ran.

According to his official Report of Separation and Record of Service, he re-enlisted for six years on September 18th, 2001. However, in his response he says that he re-enlisted for four years, conveniently retiring a year before his battalion was deployed to Iraq. Even if he had re-enlisted for four years following Sept.11, his retirement date would have been September 18th, 2005. Why then did he "retire" on May 16th, 2005, before his supposed four-year enlistment was up? And he makes it sound like he "retired" a year before his battalion deployed to Iraq; when in reality he knew when he "retired" that the battalion would be deployed to Iraq.

Tim Walz is an American coward, plain and simple. He betrayed his word, his contract; he betrayed his men. He committed the ultimate act of betrayal, and that is irrefutable. It is beyond offensive to those of us who not only served our country but who had the honor and privilege to serve with our brothers and sisters in combat. //

Well said. Having never served, I won't accuse Walz of cowardice. That is for veterans like the writer above, not the likes of me. However, remember this. If Walz, as the senior enlisted in his unit, was willing to abandon his troops, and his responsibilities to them, for personal gain (Congress), what isn't he willing to do for personal gain?

"Are you confident that there will be a peaceful transfer of power in January 2025?" Robert Costa asked Biden.

"If Trump wins, no, I'm not confident at all," Biden said first. He then corrected himself, saying if Trump loses, he's not confident at all. His brain is just mush. While the video released by NBC reflected this, their written story did not reflect what he first said.

What is he actually saying here? If Trump loses then is Biden saying he wouldn't transfer power to Kamala Harris? Does he even understand what he's saying? //

It isn't Trump talking about "mobs." It isn't Trump threatening the Supreme Court. It isn't Trump being anti-democratic and tossing the votes of more than 14 million people to the side in a coup.

It's Democrats who keep suggesting something is going to happen.

The Democratic Socialists of America claimed credit for Walz being picked in a thread on X.

Harris choosing Walz as a running mate has shown the world that DSA and our allies on the left are a force that cannot be ignored. Through collective action, DSA and the US left more broadly have made it clear that change is needed. DSA members organized in our workplaces and unions to realign the labor movement to support Palestinian liberation.

The Uncommitted movement, in which DSA members played crucial roles nationally and in multiple states, pressured the Democratic establishment into choosing a new candidate and backing down from a potential VP with direct ties to the IDF and who would have ferociously supported the ongoing genocide in Palestine. //

But what the DSA is telling us by this is that they seem to believe Walz was the more left-wing choice. That tells you everything you need to know about him, because they sure don't sound like they think he's a "centrist," as the media is trying to pitch him.

A video of Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) was unearthed on Monday that appeared to show him threatening civil war if Donald Trump won the election.

Raskin was speaking at a discussion on voter rights hosted by a left-wing professor when he made the controversial comments, which included a pledge to disqualify Trump on January 6th, 2025 based on the Fourteenth Amendment. //

He seems completely convinced that he would be the good guy in a scenario where he and other Democrats overturned an election based on their own political whims. He calls Trump supporters "rampaging mobs" despite them representing the side that won the election in his hypothetical.

It's Orwellian, and a sign of just how far Democrats are willing to go to hold onto power. This should be a lesson to Jewish Americans. Despite past perceptions, Shapiro is no different than Bernie Sanders. He's not going to have your back when politics gets in the way. He's willing to throw Israel and Jews under the bus if it means winning the votes of rabid antisemites who chant things like "from the river to the sea." //

We now live in a post Judeo-Christian society where there are no absolutes of right and wrong. Lying and deception are now acceptable if they advance your cause. The dem party is just about completely infused with this thinking and some in the GOP are no better. Until we acknowledge that our Creator has standards of right and wrong (e.g. the Ten Commandments) which we should follow, we will continue to sink lower and wallow in our evil in a completely chaotic world...

Gov. Gavin Newsom—endorsed for his 2018 election bid by then-Sen. Kamala Harris, who said at the time, “What we do here is role model of what can be done around the country”—is a centerpiece of the story. //

This is the “model for the nation” that Newsom and Harris want to bring to every state. We can’t let that happen.

One part of the video @joerogan was talking about Kamala; on another part of the video, he was talking about me. MSNBC combined it together to make it look like everything said was about Kamala and that he was endorsing her. Of course this is completely false. //

What's really serious here is that, not only does Joe Rogan deserve an apology, there's actually something bigger at stake here. This is yet another example of how MSNBC is working hand in glove with the Democrat Elite and the Kamala Harris campaign to try to spread lies....

Is nothing sacred anymore? Who brags about their own political record at someone else's funeral? And who cheers for that person as they are doing so? It's just such a foreign concept to me (and likely most of you).

The Democrat thirst for power knows no limits, though. They will use any opportunity to boost their prospects, no matter how inappropriate. In other words, they play for keeps, and in an environment where there are no consequences for anything they do, can you blame them?

Ashley McGuire, senior fellow with The Catholic Association had this to say about Buttigieg's comment:

Buttigieg is just admitting what we have always known about abortion: that it empowers men to exploit women. Buttigieg’s male ‘freedom’ comes at the cost of women’s freedom. It creates a world where men are ‘free’ to use women and women are coerced into abortions they don’t want to have. That’s not authentic freedom. It’s just domination by another name.

President of the National Right to Life Committee, Carol Tobias, said:

Pete Buttigieg is recklessly suggesting that legal abortion makes men ‘more free’ as they can push a woman into having an abortion in order to shun responsibility. If men are part of creating a new life, they should accept the responsibility that goes along with caring for their child and the child's mother. //

As the media remains focused on Vance pointing out that Democrats should promote pro-family and pro-child values, Buttigieg said the quiet part out loud: Men will have more "freedom" if women are able to freely abort children. It is a disgusting statement made by Buttigieg and whether he will try to walk it back or not, it won't matter because people will not forget his way of thinking about abortion.

“No, not at all,” Vance told a Fox News reporter in an interview that aired Sunday. “It doesn’t hurt my feelings.”

“Look, the price of admission — meaning, the price of getting to serve the people of this country — is the Democrats are going to attack us with everything that they have. I think it’s an honor,” Vance continued.

“As Harry Truman once said, ‘if you can’t take the heat, stay out of the kitchen,’” he said.

The fact that Democrats even went with this strategy reveals a remarkable inability to read the room. If you think men can get pregnant, dress up in explicit costumes, wear African garb when you’re a white woman, and call other people “weird,” then perhaps you might consider taking a look in the mirror.

The reality is that there is weirdness in each political movement. Indeed, one has to be at least a little weird to run for office. But when parts of your political party resemble a Ringling Bros. circus, it is not a good idea to call other people “weird,” especially when social media is a thing.

She has no policy, no record to stand on. One of the biggest thing she did in her career is lock up more black men than ever before, but we sit here and vote her in office on identity politics… We did that during the Obama Administration and he didn’t do anything for black people…" //

Kamala Harris does not have the Black vote locked up, and this anointing and lack of examination of who she is and her record is going to have the opposite effect of pushing Black voters away.
