DNC Caucuses Segregated by Race
replies
The DNC kicks off in Chicago on Monday to formally nominate Vice President Kamala Harris later this week, despite her never receiving one vote in the primaries. In a move that's in no way surprising given how obsessed Democrats are with race, the DNC is segregating their caucuses.Multiple posts shared to X show official DNC signs directing delegates to attend certain caucuses by race and at one time.
On Sunday, the eve of such a kickoff, the Breaking 911 account shared a list of several caucuses segregated by race and other criteria, including a vague "Ethnic Council Meeting."

Is there anything that's real about the Harris-Walz team?
We reported earlier that the Harris team seemed to have a staged event on Sunday at Sheetz in Pennsylvania. Then, on Monday at the DNC, they introduced Walz at one of the events as "Command Sergeant Major" — misrepresenting the rank that he retired at, a rank he never earned. But they really doubled down on the staging of events with what they did in Pittsburgh at the famous Primanti Brothers restaurant on Sunday, according to Fox News.

A poll shows former President Donald Trump leading Vice President Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania on the eve of the Democratic National Convention (DNC).
Surveying 800 likely voters between August 18 and 19, 2024, with a ± 3.5 percent margin of error, the Insider Advantage poll shows Trump besting Harris by just one point — 47 percent to 46 percent. As Breitbart News reported on Monday, the poll comes just before the former president mounts a major offensive in battleground states like Pennsylvania, which will likely have an effect on the polling over the next month in lead up to the November election.

Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton took shots at her former political rival during her speech at the Democratic National Convention on Monday evening, at one point even presiding over a “lock him up” chant from the crowd of assembled delegates.
Like many of the convention speakers before her, Clinton emphasized Trump’s recent hush-money conviction, prompting a raucous “lock him up” chant from the crowd of assembled delegates, a reference to the 2016 “lock her up” chant popular at Trump rallies.

The Georgia State Election Board (SEB) on Monday adopted a rule that requires the number of ballots and voters be the same before the certification of election results.

Vice President Kamala Harris has overseen more than ten million known illegal border crossings while serving in the Biden administration, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data show.

The 2024 Democratic Party Platform is here. Predictably, Democrats are laser-focused on moving ahead to repeal any kind of protections for unborn life, including forcing taxpayers to fund abortions.

WASHINGTON — U.S. intelligence officials said Monday they were confident that Iran was responsible for the hack of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, casting the cyber intrusion as part of a brazen and broader effort by Tehran to interfere in American politics and undermine faith in democratic institutions.
Although the Trump campaign and private-sector cybersecurity investigators had previously said Iran was behind the hacking attempts, it was the first time the U.S. government had assigned blame for the attack.
The joint statement from the FBI and other federal agencies also indicated that Iran was responsible for attempts to hack Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign, saying hackers had “sought access
To the casual election observer, there's a natural tendency to assume that when one political candidate rises in the polls, his or her opponent falls. While that's often the case, it's not always the case. The latter appears to be true in multiple respected national polls on the Trump-Harris race.
Kamala Harris’ rise in the polls isn’t due to a wave of voters abandoning Donald Trump, but rather, Democrats and Independents who were reluctant to vote for Joe Biden who are giving Harris a new look. Unfortunately, that new look is tightly controlled by the liberal lapdog media, who continue to all but hide Harris in witness-protection-like

Living in one of the most far-left communities in the United States for the past many decades, I am intimately familiar with the mindset of the left — the liberals, leftists, progressives, or whatever they’re calling themselves today.
And as the entire world has witnessed over the past eight years, since the man they used to lionize and admire — and rewarded with a 15-year boffo success Tv show, The Apprentice — descended the escalator in Trump Tower in 2015 and announced his candidacy for the presidency of the United States, a true mass hysteria erupted to denounce,
A Rasmussen Reports survey shows that 55 percent of likely voters believe the credible stolen valor accusations against Tim Walz are serious. Only 48 percent disagree.
Walz, the current Democrat governor of Minnesota and vice-presidential nominee, has been credibly accused of stolen valor, which is the act of puffing yourself up in an undeserved way when it comes to serving your country, especially during war.
While no one questions that Walz served 24 years in the Minnesota National Guard, he has never served in a combat zone. Nevertheless, he has said he carried weapons of war “in war.” This is not true. This is a lie. This is stolen valor.
Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz used favorable language to describe Chinese communism when teaching a high school social studies class in 1991, according to an unearthed article in Nebraska’s Alliance Times-Herald.
Walz told students that, under communism, “everyone shares” and gets free food and housing from the government, according to the resurfaced newspaper piece first reported by the Washington Free Beacon. Just two years before the article was published, China’s communist government massacred pro-democracy student protesters in Tiananmen Square, with death counts ranging from several hundred to thousands, according to the BBC.
The National Guard is on standby in Chicago. Businesses in the city have boarded up their windows as if a category 5 hurricane is about to make landfall. Massive fences have gone up in residents’ front yards on the West Side, as the police brace for riots. And you know what all that means: Today is Day One of the Democratic National Convention.
Under normal circumstances, the start of a nominating convention creates a political tailwind for a presidential candidate. There’s supposed to be some enthusiasm about the party’s platform going into the convention because they control the messaging. And in the case of the Kamala Harris campaign, the messaging
A remarkable moment occurred Monday morning on ABC News Live when 2024 Democratic National Convention delegate and Democratic strategist Kaivan Shroff praised Vice President Kamala Harris for having little to no official policy positions because “[t]he more details you share, the more your policies are going to get picked apart,” and thus it’s best for her to “trust” the news media “to explain these policies...to folks”.
Shroff also made a fool out of himself when he drew of the ire of host Diane Macedo for insisting Harris’s off-the-record pow-wows with reporters on campaign planes make formal interviews and press conferences unnecessary

Vice President Harris proposed raising the corporate income tax rate to 28 percent as the Democratic National Convention kicks off in Chicago.

Harris has been building out her policy platforms and positions in the run-up to the convention, releasing a series of economic proposals last week that included attacking corporate “price gouging.”
In 2021, former NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins resigned just a few weeks after documents exposed he lied about his involvement in gain-of-function research in the Wuhan lab.

“The documents make it clear that assertions by the NIH Director, Francis Collins, and the NIAID Director, Anthony Fauci, that the NIH did not support gain-of-function research or potential pandemic pathogen enhancement at WIV are untruthful,” Rutgers University chemical biology professor Richard Ebright said.

The organizers behind a mobile health clinic offering free abortions and vasectomies near where thousands of people are gathering for the Democratic National Convention in Chicago are pushing back amid outrage from conservatives.
Planned Parenthood Great Rivers announced it was bringing its mobile health clinic to Chicago and offering free services to those who signed up on August 19 and 20, which are the first two days of the convention.
Before the clinic even arrived, they announced that all of the appointments had been filled and that they would follow up if they had cancelations but the move sparked an avalanche of criticism online.
Hollywood’s hard sell of Kamala Harris is becoming increasingly aggressive, especially when it comes to black voters. Now some black influencers are pushing back, asserting the right for people to think for themselves and vote however they choose.
Celebrities and media personalities who have been hawking Kamala in recent weeks include former CNN host Don Lemon, who recently tried to pressure black voters during his recent Atlantic City trip; actor D.L. Hughley, whose social media feeds are a non-stop Kamala-fest; and radio host Rickey Smiley, who recently shamed black voters who don’t plan on backing the Harris-Walz ticket in November.

Phil Donahue, the legendary TV talk show host, has died. He was 88.
Donahue passed away Sunday night following a long illness, his family confirmed to “Today” Monday morning.
The star died at home surrounded by his loved ones, including his wife of 44 years, Marlo Thomas, his sister, his children, grandchildren and his beloved golden retriever, Charlie. The family’s statement requested that donations be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital or the Phil Donahue/Notre Dame Scholarship Fund in lieu of flowers.
It’s less noticed and discussed that Kamala Harris’ refusal to do sit-down on-camera interviews or press conferences, but her running mate, Tim Walz, hasn’t done a single one, either. (No, an on-camera chat with Harris about “white guy tacos” does not count. The San Francisco Chronicle labeled that an “interview,” even though the two candidates were talking to each other.)
Think about it, Harris has been the de facto nominee for almost a month, and Walz has been Harris’ running mate for nearly two weeks now. Neither one has done a single interview or press conference – no sit down with 60 Minutes, no meeting

While Democrats party as they coronate Vice President Kamala Harris in Chicago this week, former President Donald Trump’s campaign is going on offense in the battleground states.
Trump has major events planned every day of the week, focusing on drawing a contrast between the radical views of Democrats like Harris and Republicans like him. “The Trump campaign is going full bore against the Kamala campaign and highlighting all the disastrous policies she implemented for the last four years,” a Trump campaign official told Breitbart News. “She can’t hide from her radical record.”
Kamala Harris was cruising to victory — if the press was to be believed — running a "vibes" campaign with less content than a hobo's day-old can of Sterno. So why did she make a hard left turn just days before her re-anointment as the Democratic presidential nominee?
("Re-anointment" because, this year, the DNC is nothing more than "democratic" window-dressing over the vape-filled room cabal that made her the nominee after forcing President Joe Biden out.)
In case you missed it, Harris on Friday unveiled her economic agenda, which amounts to the federal takeover of pretty much the entire economy in the name of fighting "price-gouging." How those would work in practice
Senator John Fetterman announced this week that he will not attend the DNC Conference in Chicago, Illinois.
Fetterman, a rare Democrat who is staunchly pro-Israel, would have likely faced thousands of far-left anti-Semitic protesters in Chicago this week.
Senator Fetterman told Peter Savodnik at The Free Press that he will not be attending the conference and will reportedly spend time with his kids.
The DNC was warned before the start of its conference this week that 100,000 pro-Hamas agitators are in Chicago and will be holding protests daily against the Democrat Party’s policies of supporting Israel.
After several reports that the 2024 Democratic National Convention (DNC) would tamp down the number of celebrity appearances in an attempt to look less elitist, it is now apparent that Democrat Party powerbrokers can’t quit Hollywood.
Actors Kerry Washington, Mindy Kaling, and Tony Goldwyn will serve as hosts at the DNC this week, which has already become a spectacle with anti-Democratic Party protesters flooding the streets cursing Kamala Harris and hurling epithets at police. Each of the three celebrities will host one night of the four-day convention — in addition to CNN political analyst Ana Navarro for a fourth night —

After a catastrophic debate and backstage power struggle, Joseph Robinette Biden told the American people that the time has come to pass the torch. And as his anointed successor would say, that time is now, in a historic concession speech at the Democratic National Convention.
Torch is apt as a metaphor for the agenda that has been pried from Biden’s grasp and passed to Kamala Harris. As carried out under two presidents over 16 years, the Democratic Party agenda has not so much transformed America as set it ablaze.

Massive overspending by the Biden administration unleashed inflation that is crushing the finances of working people and middle-income families.
Chicago, Illinois — The Democratic Party platform, released Sunday on the eve of the convention that is to nominate Vice President Kamala Harris for president, refers over a dozen times to President Joe Biden’s “second term.”
Biden dropped out of the race in late July. But as Breitbart News reported earlier Monday, the platform still refers to him as the candidate.
“President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Democrats are running to finish the job,” it says.The document refers to a second term for Biden on no fewer than 19 occasions:

CHICAGO, Illinois — Vice President Kamala Harris has hired disgraced “Russia collusion” hoaxer Marc Elias to help lead her massive team of election lawyers as they prepare to fight former President Donald Trump and the Republicans over voting results.
Elias will join a team of lawyers that is reportedly ten times larger than the team of 600 lawyers that then-candidate Joe Biden boasted he had hired in the summer of 2020 to challenge election results in close contests nationwide. The New York Times reported Elias’s new role in the Kamala Harris campaign on the opening day of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
The Trump campaign's new ad tying Kamala Harris to her administration's economic failures is exactly the sort of message that needs to be delivered to voters. She has been one of Bidenomics' top cheerleaders, so there's a lot of material to work with in this realm. As she rolls out her 'new,' cartoonishly terrible economic agenda -- which has been hammered by even friendly media outlets and analysts as outlandishly unrealistic and irresponsible -- it's undoubtedly wise to critique her awful, pandering proposals. But it's just as important, of not more so, to ensure that she's unable to wriggle away from her various other radical stances,
Kamala Harris promises to reduce the price of food, which is now 20-40% higher than before she became VP. If she and Joe hadn’t created so much inflation, food would be cheaper. Now, any government efforts to lower prices, whether through caps or subsidies, will harm the economy, leading to shortages, even higher prices, and increased taxes. The rest of her economic policies seem equally disastrous.
Harris’s economic agenda is socialist, ignores economic realities, and overlooks the damage these policies could cause. Like other socialist platforms, it would increase dependency on the government, reduce work incentives, and lower the standard of living.
Donald Trump's eldest granddaughter Kai revealed she has already committed to play golf at collegiate level.
Kai, the daughter of Donald Trump Jr. and his ex-wife Vanessa, is set to enter her junior year at the Benjamin School, a prestigious $37,000-per-year high school, but the scratch golfer already has her next steps mapped out. The 17-year-old, an avid golfer, took to Instagram Sunday to announce that she has verbally committed to the University of Miami. It is not clear if she will attend on an athletic scholarship.
The Democrats have a weird way of being unifying and uplifting; they think that if they demonize half of the American electorate, they are somehow inspiring. We saw it with Hillary’s “Basket of Deplorables” and Obama’s disgust with Americans who “cling to guns or religion.” Such elitist hatred reared its head again with Biden’s 2022 “Red Speech,” where he invoked Third Reich-like theatrics and accused Republicans of being a force that “threatens the very foundations of our republic….”
He was just as divisive in his 2024 State of the Union speech, where he basically called Supreme Court justices enemies of the nation.
Sunday was a banner day for the Harris campaign. After weeks of carefully curated events, the vice president turned presidential nominee went off-script multiple times, reminding Americans why they once ranked her the most unpopular major politician in the country.
After delivering a word salad on the "duality of democracy," a line she's used many times before, she then explained to a high school football team that they can be "undefeated" even if they don't win a game. It was vintage Kamala Harris, punctuated by a visit to a gas station that left people wincing. I don't know about you, but I was going to vote for no price controls,
People protesting the Democratic National Convention (DNC) were seen marching through the streets of Chicago dressed as abortion pills.
Video footage posted on X showed protesters dressed in white outfits, appearing to look like abortion pills with the words “MIFE” and “MISO” written on them.

“MISO” stands for misoprostol and is the “second medication” in a medical abortion, according to Planned Parenthood’s website.
More than 170,000 migrants crossed President Joe Biden’s borders in July, but the TV networks and establishment media pretend the inflow was just 56,048 migrants during the run-up to the 2024 election.
The July 2024 inflow of more than 170,000 migrants is triple the number touted by Biden’s pro-migration border chief and his media allies. It is also four times the 40,000 illegal migrants who appeared at President Donald Trump’s southern border in July 2020.
Most of the 170,000 migrants are being welcomed into the United States under a series of recently invented and quasi-legal pathways.

We reported earlier on some of her remarks, including a word salad about democracy. Number one, this is a nutty riff that she's done before. But number two, it's hilarious that she, of all people, is talking about "democracy" when the folks who helped to install her shoved the guy who got more than 14 million votes in the primary out of the race. She didn't get one vote in the primary for the top position. So really, they have some nerve talking about "democracy," given what they've done. She's actually the beneficiary of a coup and an "attack" on democracy.

Love her or hate her, there is one thing about Nancy Pelosi: she gets stuff done. Most of it is atrocious on policy, but when it comes to the inner workings of the Democratic Party, she can be a savior or the grim reaper. For Joe Biden, she was the harbinger of death to his presidency. Other horsemen led the Biden White House to its apocalypse, but it seems like Pelosi was the one who fired the kill shot. The woman is lethal, which has been known to the people covering her. It’s fallen by the wayside, but she kneecapped the Squad shortly after Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was elected,
Hamas is now in dire need of a ceasefire because its leaders want to hold on to power in the Gaza Strip.
If the Biden-Harris administration and its Iranian, Qatari and Egyptian allies manage to impose a ceasefire on Israel, it will be viewed by many Arabs and Muslims not only as a reward for the October 7 massacres, but specifically as a lifeline for Hamas.
Hamas officials, however, were more honest than the Americans, Egyptians and Qataris. These officials were quick to deny any progress in the ceasefire talks and described them as "a waste of time."
We’ve all had fun highlighting Kamala Harris’ social awkwardness. Donald Trump has been brutal to her in his rallies, but it’s not necessary. There’s a reason why this woman is keeping her mouth shut: she’s a lightweight and an absolute disaster on policy. Why is this silent monk routine amusing? Her entire agenda is Joe Biden’s, and her name is right next to his in all the White House policy rollouts. When she does speak, it’s an incoherent trainwreck. Keeping Biden and Harris attached at the hip in the messaging is essential, and voters aren’t dumb either.
With just 77 days before the election, House Republicans released a sprawling new report that they claim proves President Joe Biden, 81, committed 'impeachable offenses.'
The nearly 300-page report compiled Republican findings over the last two years about the Biden family allegedly profiting off the president's son Hunter and brother James Biden's shady business deals by over $27 million through 'influence peddling.'
It also details claims that the Justice Department slow-walked federal probes into Hunter for gun and tax crimes.'Overwhelming evidence demonstrates that President Biden participated in a conspiracy to monetize his office of public trust to enrich his family,' reads the report, published hours before Biden is set to address
President Biden engaged in "impeachable conduct," House Republicans found in their months-long impeachment inquiry, declaring in their highly anticipated report that he "abused his office" and "defrauded the United States to enrich his family." Fox News Digital obtained a copy of the 292-page report prepared by the House Oversight Committee, House Judiciary Committee and House Ways and Means Committee. Those panels have been leading the impeachment inquiry against Biden.
"The Committees have accumulated evidence demonstrating that President Biden has engaged in impeachable conduct," the report, which lays out evidence gathered to date, says.
President Joe Biden has largely receded into the background at the White House after giving up his campaign for a second term following intense pressure from top Democrats. Despite occupying the most powerful job on Earth, Biden seems to have been relegated to the sidelines. Do voters want Biden now to formally step aside? The I&I/TIPP Poll has answers.
To find out what Americans thought, the national online I&I/TIPP Poll this month asked 1,488 adults this question: “Which of the following do you believe is in the best interest of the country?” The poll, taken from July 31-Aug. 2, has a margin of error of +/-2.7 percentage points.
Projection is a Freudian psychological term. It describes a particular defensive mechanism, when people, often unconsciously, attribute their own (usually undesirable) behaviors to others who do not have them. These mental gymnastics are intended to alleviate one’s own guilt or sense of inadequacy at the expense of another. Sound familiar? But in the political sphere, projection involves more overt dissimulation. It is increasingly common for leftist candidates or political parties to falsely accuse their opponents of the very destructive behaviors and unpopular agendas that they themselves embrace, but out of political necessity must deny.
