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...

‘Weaker than reported’ U.S. economy created 818,000 fewer jobs than first accounting

By Megan Henney  | Fox Business U.S. job growth during much of the past year was significantly weaker than previously reported, according to new data published Wednesday. The Bureau of Labor Statistics revised down its total tally of jobs created in the year through March by 818,000 as part of its preliminary annual benchmark review of payroll data. That suggests the economy added an average of 174,000 jobs per month during that time period — below the previous 242,000 estimate. On a monthly basis, that amounts to about 68,000 fewer jobs. It marks the largest downward revision since 2009. READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX BUSINESS

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...

Taxpayers are annually on the hook for $3 billion in food stamps for noncitizens

By Tom Gantert | The Center Square Every year, the United States has allowed between 1.47 million to 1.86 million noncitizens to receive food stamps from the federal government at a taxpayer cost of almost $3 billion a year. That is according to annual reports from the U.S. Department of Agriculture for its Supplement Nutritional Assistance Program. “Only U.S. citizens and certain lawfully present non-citizens may receive SNAP benefits,” said Hal Sullivan, spokesperson for the USDA in an email to The Center Square. “SNAP is not and has never been available to undocumented non-citizens. Non-citizens like tourists and students are generally not eligible. Non-citizens who are eligible based on their immigration status must meet SNAP eligibility requirements, such as income and resour...

Biden to DNC: Trump supporters ‘can’t think, can’t read very well’ in flashback to ‘Deplorables’

By Paul Bois | Breitbart President Joe Biden embraced divisive rhetoric during his speech at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) on Monday night when he said Trump supporters “can’t think, can’t read very well.” The president issued his insult, which echoes Hillary Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” line from 2016, when speaking about education. “How can we be the greatest nation in the world without the best education system in the world,” he said. “Donald Trump and Republican friends, they not only can’t think, they can’t read very well.” READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

Trump: Under Harris, Biden ‘grocery price up 21.6%, rent up 22%, electricity up 31.7% ‘

By Jennifer Harper  | The Washington Times Former President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign is rolling out some compelling numbers when it comes to the U.S. economy. “Under President Trump, for the first time in 70 years, our nation achieved energy independence and was on the verge of global energy dominance. Under President Trump, the typical family of four was saving $2,500 a year in lower energy prices thanks to the shale oil and gas revolution alone,” the campaign said in a lengthy analysis released on Monday. “President Trump believes that by unleashing American energy, we can once again make American energy and electricity the most affordable and reliable in the world. Kamala Harris, on the other hand, wants to make life as difficult as possible for Americans.

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...

UAW president accuses Republicans of ‘manufacturing’ border crisis, says ‘it’s a joke’

By Fox News United Automobile Workers President Shawn Fain on Tuesday called the ongoing crisis at the southern border a "manufactured crisis" as he accused Republicans of not having read their Bibles in their approach to illegal immigration. "It's a joke. I think it's a manufactured crisis," he said at a roundtable in Chicago, the day after he spoke at the Democratic National Convention. He talked about how people who have had a roof fitted will have had workers who are in the country illegally, and said they are not taking people's jobs. READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX NEWS

Obamas, Bernie Sanders, grandsons of JFK, Carter to speak in tonight’s DNC

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice As the Democratic National Convention moves into its second evening, Democrats are pulling out all the stops with attention-grabbing headliners. In another sure-to-miss Primetime speech, former President Barack Obama is scheduled to speak at 10 p.m. On the first day of the convention, President Joe Biden did not begin speaking until 11:15 p.m. on the East Coast. Speeches to the DNC membership can be viewed on most major news networks. Setting up Obama's speech will be the assembly address by Douglas Emhoff, the husband to presidential nominee Kamala Harris, and by Michelle Obama, the former First Lady of the United States, who some Republicans expected to become the Democrats' nominee for President, not Harris. Earlier in the evening, Sen....

Cuccinelli: Maine shows just what’s wrong with ranked-choice voting

By Ken Cuccinelli  | Commentary, Townhall.com Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has qualified for the Maine Presidential ballot in November and in doing so shows just how fraudulent claims in favor of Ranked-Choice Voting (RCV) really are. Supporters of RCV falsely promise it will reduce toxic partisanship, increase compromise, and eliminate extremism from our elections, but in reality the costly, confusing, and complex voting practice has been an unmitigated disaster wherever implemented.  RCV requires a voter to rank each candidate on the basis of ‘least bad’ by assigning a numerical designation to the candidate the voter favors most to the candidate the voter favors least. If no candidate receives more than 50 percent of first-choice votes in the first round of voting, the l...
