A Fake DNC Convention Ends With Real Nastiness

The Democrats are nasty and proud of it. They are proud of what they have done in Portland. They are proud to have torn down statues of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. They are proud to have defaced churches and synagogues. And they can’t wait to show us how nasty they can really be if they once again have absolute power over the entire United States.

"The democracy is fake, but the hate is real."

. . . "The joke here is positively Seinfeldian. Julia Louis Dreyfuss plays shallow, self-involved, and petty characters because she’s shallow, petty, and self-involved. The Democrats attack Trump as an unserious reality show host who confuses social media with leadership, and then debut a failed convention dominated by celebrities and badly written jokes aimed at social media.

“ 'I'm proud to be a nasty, nasty woman,” Julia Louis Dreyfuss gloated.
" 'It’s not just her own aspiration, but that of the party that invited her. The Democrats want to play at being serious, principled folks bringing the country together, but they’re proud to be nasty. 
“ 'I will draw on the best of us, not the worst of us,” Joe Biden claimed, accepting his nomination after a convention filled with conspiracy theories about mailboxes, smears, and cheap shots.
"That promise is coming from a politician who spent his career insulting voters, calling them fat and stupid, whose family is notorious for profiting from his political office, who palled around with segregationists and sexual predators, but whom three nights of celebrities and fellow hacks from across the political swamp spectrum now insist is really a kind, decent, and loveable man.
"Biden’s transformation after 47 years of nastiness is just as convincing as that of his party.
"The Democrats insist that Joe Biden is a man of faith, even as their caucuses clip “God” out of the Pledge of Allegiance. They claim that they’re a movement of character, integrity, principles, and deep thought, and then drop it all to giggle about calling Pence, “Poonce”. 
"Biden, they insist, is a family man with real integrity. And to prove it, they trot out Hunter Biden, who had an affair with his dead brother’s wife and who was sued for child support by a stripper
“ 'The day of cozying up to dictators is over,” Biden promised, while running on a platform of cozying up to the Islamic Republic of Iran, the PLO, and Communist China." . . .

RNC will celebrate America

Don Surber

"On 9/11 with the world worried and Congress in no position to do anything, 78 congressmen gathered and sang "God Bless America" on national TV. I liked it. It showed a sense of community. I wish that lasted longer.
"Americans love America. That's the dirty little secret.
"Hippies back in the 1960s loved America. They saw themselves as Americans actually using the freedoms Americans have. Jimi Hendrix played the Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock.
"This is a great country, and everyone born here is lucky and knows it. Systemic racism? Gimme a break. I am the same age as Oprah Winfrey. She is a billionaire. She should be ashamed of lying like that.
"People from Cuba get in little rubber rafts to brave the ocean to come here.
"That is a tradition that predates the Pilgrims who spent 66 days in the tiny wooden Mayflower to get here. My sister tells me one of them is an ancestor. Nearly 3 centuries later, the last of my ancestors arrived via steerage in Baltimore.
"The people in DC overlook this fact that Americans love America, which is why the press and the politicians keep getting elections wrong." . . .

VIDEO: “Donald Trump is the Most Pro-Gay President in American History” Has Millions of Views

Legal Insurrection

“As a United States Senator, Joe Biden said gay people couldn’t receive security clearances, because we would be a security risk.” — Richard Grenell

"Richard Grenell, America’s first openly gay cabinet member recently appeared in a pro-Trump ad which highlights the president’s record with the gay community.

"It’s almost 4 minutes long and as of the time this was posted, has been viewed over 4 million times on Twitter alone. 4 MILLION.

"Grenell highlighted Biden’s less than stellar record of support for gay Americans and claimed that Trump has done more for the gay community in 3 years than Biden did in 40 years of public service."  Video

How About Democrats Pay KKK Reparations to Black Republicans?

"How powerful did the Klan's political clout grow? In 1924, organized Klansmen marched through the streets of New York and attended the Democratic National Convention that nominated Woodrow Wilson for the presidency. After winning office, Woodrow screened the racist ode to the Klan "Birth of a Nation," a film produced by racist Hollywood producers. It was the first film ever screened at the White House."

Townhall

"The Democratic Party should pay reparations to black Republicans who have suffered at the hands of the KKK.
" Hear me out.
"Make no mistake, the Democrats and their allies in the Marxist Black Lives Matter organization are moving this country toward a "national conversation" about reparations. "Side note: Have you noticed that whenever we have a race-related "national conversation," it always ends up being sanctimonious, Marxist tenured professors lecturing the rest of us about how evil and racist and privileged we are, and if you deny it, it proves you're racist? And the solution to the evil racism that you exhibit is to take more of your money and give it to Democrats in government where they pay for big programs that enrich those tenured professors, make inner-cities even worse, and then ten years later we are poised for another "national conversation"?
"Yeah, well, they're getting us ready for another one of those "national conversations" and this time it will be about reparations for slavery.
" Before that conversation gets driven down our throats by the Harris-Biden presidential ticket, how about Republicans get in front of this issue?
"How about instead of moving toward reparations for slavery (which has challenges logistically and judicially), we move for something a little more tangible?
" I mean, let's face it, it's nearly impossible to identify who, specifically, would be responsible for paying these reparations, right? Descendants of the slave owners? OK, try to trace that out, I suppose. But, logically, their reparation payment should only go to the descendants of those African-Americans their ancestors owned. Also, isn't it unjust to punish a person for the sins of their fathers? I mean, this is a fundamental understanding the Western world has always embraced. But the Left would have us punish, through taxation, the great, great, great-grandchildren for slavery. " . . .

Sooooo; the guy on the ground would owe reparations to this rioter who just kicked him in the head, right?

This oppressor must pay for all previous generations' actions:

Don't think for a minute that reparations will ever make up for anything; it will never end. There are too many Betos out there. TD

One Word Was Mysteriously Absent From The Democrats’ Convention

I&I Editorial  "Eight months ago, all but two House Democrats voted to impeach President Donald Trump, and in February every Democratic senator found him guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors.
"As the articles of impeachment were heading over to the Senate to face certain defeat, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi intoned that “This president is impeached for life regardless of any gamesmanship on the part of Mitch McConnell. There is nothing the Senate can do to ever erase that.”
"Her comment prompted “#ImpeachedForLife” to trend on Twitter shortly afterward. 

Yet when Pelosi spoke at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday, she never mentioned Trump’s impeachment. She didn’t mention Ukraine, or Russia or any of the other reasons Democrats spent three years arguing were grounds for his removal from office.
"Her main complaint about Trump was that “As speaker of the House I’ve seen firsthand Donald Trump’s disrespect for facts , for working families and for women in particular.”
"No other House member who voted to impeach Trump, and no senator who found him guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors, mentioned his impeachment. Nor did Barack Obama, or Michael Bloomberg (who paid for ads in 27 states in January calling for Trump’s removal). Nor did the hosts. Nor did Joe Biden.
"In fact, we reviewed transcripts of the entire four days, and the word impeach was never uttered once.
"Democrats spent almost the entire past four years arguing that Trump was an illegitimate president because Russia interfered with the election. They spent every waking minute trying to drive him out of office for supposedly enlisting Ukraine to help with his reelection.
"And now their big complaint is that he’s been dissing the U.S. Postal Service?
"So if impeachment was never that serious — which Democrats have admitted by omission  — why should anyone take seriously the arguments they are making for Trump’s defeat in November?" . . .

Man Who Has Been In Government For Nearly 50 Years Promises To Fix Government

Babylon Bee

"U.S.—According to sources at the DNC, Joe Biden, a man who has been part of government since before Jaws, Star Wars, the Walkman, the NES, and the publishing of The Silmarillion, is just the man for the difficult task of fixing the government.
" 'This man who has been part of the broken system since 1972 is our last hope to fix the broken system," said a DNC spokesperson. "See, since he's been part of the problem for so long, only he knows how bad the problem is. So only he can fix it. If you got some outsider with, like, morals and stuff, they would be too horrified to even go to Washington in the first place."
" 'No, we need someone who's been part of the swamp and has participated in much injustice, oppression, and bloodshed to fix the whole thing from the ground up."
"He also has a cop helping him out, sources confirmed at publishing time."

"We’ll Knock You The F*ck Out!: Biden Fans Bully Young Trump Supporter ". . .

These are people who want to rule over us through the like of Maxine Waters, Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi, and torch-bearing street mobs dressed in black. Want protection from authorities? They'll be the ones screaming outside your house at any hour of the day, threatening to burn it down because you voted against them. TD

Rebecca Diserio, Opinion Columnist  "Supporters of Joe Biden were caught on video bullying a seven-year-old supporter of President Donald Trump just outside the Democrat National Convention on Thursday night. “We’ll knock you the f*ck out!” the Biden supporters screamed at the little boy as they took away his MAGA hat. Well, those two leftists were quickly made to regret it. You’ll love this." . . .

"While Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden was telling Americans that the president is the cause of all the darkness in this country, just outside two of his supporters were attacking a little 7-year-old named Riley.
"That was the basis of Biden’s speech on Thursday, we are good and supporters of President Donald Trump are evil.
The two women not yet identified got a glimpse of Riley and his parents at a restaurant near the DNC convention. Riley’s mom Abbey released a statement of the attack:
“I was with my 7-year-old son across the street from Joe Biden’s DNC Convention speech in Wilmington, Delaware,” she said. “We were waiting for a table at a restaurant to eat dinner. We had just left a peaceful protest against Joe Biden. I was holding a pro-Trump sign. My son was wearing his MAGA hat. We were standing outside peacefully minding our own business waiting for our table.”
“Suddenly, two Joe Biden supporters began to yell political epithets at my child,” she added. “They ripped the sign from my arms and assaulted my 7-year-old son. The Joe Biden supporters laid hands on my child and ripped his ‘Make America Great Again’ hat from his head while cursing at him and pushing him over.” . . .

Andrea Widberg; Moments ago Riley got a call from the White House...   . . . "The obvious takeaway is that too many Democrats are hate-filled, violent, racist, and have no boundaries – and Trump is a kind man.
     "But there’s also that metamessage, about which I’ve written before: In the war that the Democrats are waging against normal people in America, women are in the front lines.

     "In a healthy society, women are nurturers who help channel male aggression into socially accepted practices. In an unhealthy society – which is what leftists have created for women, especially in the education system – women are angry, neurotic, hypersensitive people. Despite living in the freest society in the world, with more rights than women at any other time or place in history, they see themselves as victims.
     "That phony sense of victimization turns women in feral animals. Leftism has conditioned them by dividing people into dozens of hostile subclasses. Each group believes that the American pie is not just finite but shrinking. Group members conclude, therefore, that it’s only through mortal combat that they will get their “fair” share."  Video

Peaceful protester Marquise Lee Love (Updated)

Portland Assault Suspect Takes To Social Media To Beg For Financial Help

“Might go to jail for murder tonight for a racist when all I did was fight him," Love purportedly wrote, according to an image obtained by The Sun.  "Look it up on Twitter put money on my books and come see me.”

 Portland police arrest truck attack suspect Marquise Love, jail records show  Portland police have arrested the 25-year-old man accused of viciously attacking a truck driver who was seen on video being violently beaten, jail records show.
"Marquise Lee Love was booked in the Multnomah County Detention Center on Friday shortly after 5:30 a.m. local time, according to jail records. He was charged with assault, coercion and riot, all three of which are felonies, records show."

A CNN search for "Marquise Lee Love" found nothing today 
"Your search for Marquise Lee Love did not match any documents."

Portland truck attack suspect Marquise Love surrenders: police  . . . "I am pleased the suspect in this case turned himself in and appreciate all of the efforts to facilitate this safe resolution," said PPB Chief Chuck Lovell. "Thank you to all of the members of the public who have provided information and tips to our investigators. Your assistance is very much appreciated." . . .

UPDATE: Love’s arraignment is scheduled for Monday. He likely won’t be going home for the weekend as his bail amount was set at $260,000.
. . . Assault II is a class B felony with a maximum sentence of 10 years. The other two charges are class C felonies with a maximum charge of 5 years each. Given that the incident was caught on camera it seems very likely that Love will be convicted and spend some time in prison. And given that this is not his first violent offense, I’d guess he won’t be given a slap on the wrist. Love had been arrested seven previous times including once for domestic assault though he wasn’t charged in that case:" . . .

. . . "Haner’s girlfirend, who was also attacked that night, said she is angry because she’s seen the videos of what Love did to Haner. As of yesterday, Haner still hadn’t watched the videos and didn’t plan to do so.

 "Haner said he never said anything to Love or anyone that night that would have provoked the violent reaction. He said he saw a trans woman being robbed and harassed and tried to intercede." . . .

Question: which of the people in the above photo were these yellow-shirted "moms" wanting to protect?

Biden accuser Tara Reade claims Harris 'turned a blind eye to sex assault victims' after saying she 'believed' women who came forward against former VP

Stay tuned to CNN for coverage of this incident. "She said when Biden realized she wasn't reciprocating he begged: 'C'mon man, I heard you like me.' "

In Harris' Democratic VP nominee acceptance speech on Wednesday night, she declared: 'I've fought for children and survivors of sexual assault….I know a predator when I see one.' Reade said Harris' remarks 'sickened' her, adding: 'She obviously doesn't know how to spot a predator, she is enabling one by the name of Joe Biden'

UK Daily Mail  "Joe Biden accuser Tara Reade has told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview that Kamala Harris abandoned her principles and her vow to protect sexual assault survivors in order to become the Democratic Vice Presidential nominee.

"Reade said: 'I'm disappointed with Kamala with her being the Vice Presidential nominee. It's the height of hypocrisy for her to accept the VP nominee position. 

" 'She's a hypocrite. She saw an opportunity to seize a position of power and she took it, turning a blind eye to sexual assault victims.'
"In Harris' Democratic VP nominee acceptance speech on Wednesday night, she declared: 'I've fought for children and survivors of sexual assault….I know a predator when I see one.'
"Reade said Harris' remarks 'sickened' her, adding: 'She obviously doesn't know how to spot a predator, she is enabling one by the name of Joe Biden.'
" 'The 56-year-old came forward this March to claim that when she was a Senate aide for Biden in 1993, he pinned her against a wall, reached under her skirt and sexually assaulted her. Biden has vehemently denied her claims.
"Reade said because Harris was a prosecutor and California's Attorney General who worked with sexual assault victims, she should know how difficult it is for victims to come forward and speak.
"But Reade said Harris' silence on Biden makes her complicit and to add extra pain, 'she's a woman.' " . . .

How You Can Join the Movement to End Cancel Culture

Alliance Defending Freedom  "The United States has a rich heritage in the city of Philadelphia.
"It was there that our nation’s Founders came together to sign the documents that established our country and ensured that generations after them had a fighting chance at taking up the mantle of liberty.
"While we continue to live under the freedoms protected by the Constitution, we are currently a nation divided. Not a week goes by without people being fired from their workplace or “canceled” in the court of public opinion for expressing their viewpoints.

"Free speech is under attack.
"This is why a diverse group of leaders have come together to create and sign the Philadelphia Statement: to commit to a better future, for current generations and, hopefully, many more to come.
"The Significance of Philadelphia
"Known as the “birthplace of America,” Philadelphia served as the convening hub of our nation’s founding. Every year, millions of Americans visit the city to tour Independence National Historic Park, home to the Liberty Bell, the First Bank of the United States, and the site of the First Continental Congress. The highlight of the park, however, is Independence Hall, where our nation’s Founders declared independence from the English Crown and later drafted the highest law in the land, the United States Constitution.
" 'Our founding documents are the products of much discourse and disagreement. After all, out of 70 delegates invited to the Constitutional Convention, only 39 agreed to sign.
" 'Yet one bedrock principle united the signers: Each person possesses inherent worth and is therefore endowed with inalienable rights which deserve protection.
" 'The Philadelphia Statement, named in honor of that, affirms the need for free speech, civil discourse, and true tolerance in America—principles which we are seeing practiced less and less." . . .
"The truth is, in the current cultural climate, many are hesitant to express their opinions for risk of being attacked, online and off. Anyone who expresses an opinion is at risk of demonization and blacklisting. It is these tactics that are eroding our ability to truly tolerate—and respect—our neighbors." . . .

Audio from Goodyear training session reveals more about ‘zero tolerance’ policy

WJW and FOX 8 Web Central  "TOPEKA, Kansas, (WJW) — “Democrat. Republican. Trump. Biden. Sanders. Whatever. That will no longer be allowed in the plant.”

New audio from a training session at a Goodyear plant in Topeka sheds more light on a conversation with employees about the company’s zero-tolerance policy.
"A photo leaked from the meeting had a list of what was acceptable and unacceptable at the workplace, but the new audio gives more context to that conversation.
"WIBW obtained that recording.
"The meeting references racial graffiti in the locker room.
“Some people may wish to express their views on social justice or inequity or equity issues such as black lives matter or LGBTQ pride on their face coverings, shirts or wristbands. That will be deemed approved because it applies with a zero-tolerance stance,” the speaker on the recording said during the meeting. “However if any associate wears all, blue, white lives matter shirts or face coverings, that will be not appropriate.”
“ 'Let’s try and comply with these so you know everybody feels good in this factory. I want to make sure guys, think about what we do in this factory, in this factory right. We all work together to make tires. That’s what we do,” the speaker said. “That’s what we get paid to do. So, let’s continue to do that and do the right thing and keep this place what it has always been, a good place to work.”
"The speaker does not specifically mention President Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan, but only says political messages are not allowed.
"Trump tweeted Wednesday about the single image that was leaked, urging people not to buy Goodyear tires, citing their ban on “MAGA hats.' ” . . .

Goodyear president affirms company's support for police, says employees can wear pro-police clothing  "President Trump on Wednesday had urged people to boycott the company. " 
"Goodyear Chairman, CEO and President Rich Kramer on Thursday released a statement following public uproar over a slide shown at a Topeka, Kansas plant that suggested pro-police apparel should be banned.

"The slide categorized "Blue Lives Matter," "All Lives Matter," "MAGA Attire" and "Political Affiliated Slogans or Material" as "unacceptable" but described "Black Lives Matter" and "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Transgender Pride" as "acceptable."
"The slide in question was created by a plant employee to try to explain what is acceptable to wear in the workplace. The slide was not approved or distributed by Goodyear Corporate or anyone outside of that facility," Kramer explained.
"President Trump on Wednesday had urged people to boycott the company." . . .
