GOP senators want to know who funds Pro-Palestinian protests, Biden Admin brushes off inquiry

By Jake Smith | Daily Caller The Biden administration brushed off a top GOP lawmaker’s request for information regarding organizations backing pro-Palestinian protests, according to documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. Pro-Palestinian protests and riots have surged throughout the country for months, most recently at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chigaco this week. Republican Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa and 15 other senators wrote to the IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel in May urging the agency to open an investigation into nonprofit organizations supporting certain pro-Palestinian groups and movements, and whether those organizations’ support jeopardized their tax-exempt status. (RELATED: Gov.

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.

McGhee White: Earth to Democrats, why can’t you stop trying to appease the worst of Gen Z

By Kaylee McGhee White| The Washington Examiner The Democratic National Convention has barely begun, and it is already marred by liberal lunacy and protests from anti-Israel radicals, both of which are being driven by the very voters Democrats are trying to court: leftist Gen Zers. Vice President Kamala Harris, who, barring yet another intraparty coup, will be coronated this week as the party’s presidential nominee, seems to believe that success at the polls this November depends on winning over my generation of young voters. In fact, she seems to have handed over her entire campaign strategy to fresh-out-of-college 20-year-olds who think memes and “vibes” are an acceptable replacement for policy and substance.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE WASHIN...

Sen. John Hickenlooper, who once said he wasn’t fit for the job, wants one more term in U.S. Senate

By Tara Suter | The Hill Colorado Sen. John Hickenlooper (D) said Wednesday that he will run for reelection just once. “I’m only gonna do two terms,” Hickenlooper told Punchbowl News’ Andrew Desiderio. “I’ve said it first here, two-term limit, oath of conscience.” Hickenlooper, the state’s former governor, gained a seat in the upper chamber by way of winning a key race against former Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) in 2020. “There should be more people that are involved in local, municipal politics and governing and state politics and governing, who [get] into the Senate so that they bring those experiences with ‘em,” said Hickenlooper, who has also served as mayor of Denver.

The Free Press: In her own basement strategy, how long can Kamala Harris avoid the press?

By The Editors | Commentary, The Free Press It has been a month since Vice President Kamala Harris became the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. And a glorious month it’s been for Democrats, with an energized party, large, enthusiastic crowds, and adoring press coverage. “Our next president brings the joy,” said Tim Walz, her vice-presidential choice, at a rally in Detroit. rats, with an energized party, large, enthusiastic crowds, and adoring press coverage. “Our next president brings the joy,” said Tim Walz, her vice-presidential choice, at a rally in Detroit. But with all the kumbaya—despite fears of a 1968 reprise, the Dems have put on a mostly drama-free show in Chicago—Harris has avoided saying a single substantive thing, either about her record...

RFK Jr. in talks about a possible endorsement of Trump

By Alex Isenstadt, Brittany Gibson and Adam Wren | Politico Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is in talks with the Trump campaign about a possible endorsement of the former president, according to four people familiar with the conversations granted anonymity to discuss the ongoing conversations. The discussions between the two sides have been going on for months and accelerated before the Republican National Convention in July, according to a person with knowledge of the discussions. Donald Trump Jr., conservative media personality Tucker Carlson and Trump donor Omeed Malik have been key players in facilitating the conversations, the person said. Donald Trump Jr. has been particularly concerned about the prospect that Kennedy could siphon off votes that would otherwise go to the former presid...

Oprah Winfrey makes surprise DNC appearance to rail against man she once considered running for office with

By Andrew Mark Miller | Fox News CHICAGO — Legendary talk show host Oprah Winfrey made a surprise appearance at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday, when she slammed former President Trump and his vice president 24 years after she suggested he would make a good president. "We know all the old tricks and tropes that are designed to distract us from what actually matters," Winfrey told the crowd at the United Center. "But we are beyond ridiculous tweets and lies and foolery. These are complicated times, people, and they require adult conversation. And I welcome those conversations because civilized debate is vital to democracy, and it is the best of America." In another veiled shot at Trump, Winfrey said, "Now, there's a certain candidate that says if we j...

After no policy detail and only brief, rare media exposure, Harris will accept nomination

By Wendy Husebø | Breitbart Vice President Kamala Harris will accept the Democrats’ nomination on Thursday without sitting for one interview, giving one press conference, or providing many policy details since joining the race 32 days ago — July 21, 2024. The strategy is notable for three reasons. First, it is a rinse and repeat of President Joe Biden’s 2020 “basement” strategy to avoid public scrutiny, which counters the multitude of exchanges the media typically conduct when presidential candidates enter races. Second, the strategy underscores the Democrats’ perceived worry about their candidate’s likability and ability to speak off the cuff about policies without delivering a devastating gaffe. More is here on Harris’s word salads. READ THE FULL ...

From state AGs to a House committee, conservatives want answers from SEC on ActBlue

By Geoff Sakala | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice In the first 48 hours following Kamala Harris' launch of her Presidential campaign, she reportedly raised more than $100 million dollars, a record for any Presidential campaign in history. This enormous online fundraising haul raised eyebrows in some conservative circles for its speed and scale for a vice president, previously with very low approval ratings. And after that first burst of donations, the Harris campaign reported raising a total of $310 million in July, compared to only $138 million for former President Trump. Shortly after reporting large fundraising figures in the first days and weeks of the Harris campaign, reports began surfacing on X, a social media news platform, that specific donors were found to have donat...

In epic online troll, Trump campaign creates policy website for Kamala Harris, citing her lack of one

By Steven Nelson | New York Post Donald Trump’s campaign slammed Vice President Kamala Harris Wednesday for still lacking a policy page on her campaign website — and created one for her as she prepares to deliver her Democratic presidential nomination acceptance speech Thursday. “Kamala Harris has yet to tell voters what her policies are, so we thought we’d help them out. Kamala Harris wants to open the borders, raise taxes, and free criminals,” Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said. The former president’s campaign directed readers of its press release to the new website kamala2024policies.com for a rundown of some of the Democratic candidate’s more controversial policy stances over the years.
