The 16 Most Extreme and Exotic Moments of the 2024 Democratic National Convention

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

The 2024 Democratic National Convention (DNC) has closed but, like its candidate’s views on the issues, much has not been reported. Here are 16 of the most significant events not covered by the legacy media.

1. Planned Parenthood Carried Out Eight Abortions and Nine Vasectomies at the 2024 DNC

Like official statistics about the jobs created by the Biden-Harris administration, the number of abortions and vasectomies carried out during the 2024 Democratic National Convention has been revised downward.

Pro-life sources on the ground reported that Planned Parenthood carried out 25 abortions in a mobile unit near Chicago’s United Center during the first two days of the DNC, which nominated Kamala Harris for president and Tim Walz for vice president. Thankfully, abortion officials have subsequently clarified that they dispensed the abortion pill mifepristone to fewer than half that many mothers.

“The 25 you refer to was the approximate number of available patient slots,” the Planned Parenthood Great Rivers, based in St. Louis, told The Washington Times via email Wednesday. “We served [sic] 9 vasectomy and 8 medication [chemical] abortion patients between the two days.” The organization claims it did not commit any surgical abortions on site.

Of course, that’s nine more abortions than took place in conjunction with the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, the Constitution Party convention in Salt Lake City, and the Libertarian Party convention in Washington, D.C., combined.

The 2024 DNC became so abortion-focused that Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) wondered at one point, “Will any abortions be performed on stage?”

2. A U.S. Senator Praised a Riot that Tried to Burn Policemen Alive

Vice President Kamala Harris has attempted to distance herself from her administration’s record by ignoring the last three years (except scattered discussion of her appointees’ sex or ethnicity) and focusing her campaign almost exclusively on her time as California Attorney General — a position she left nearly eight years ago. In her acceptance speech, she asserted (inaccurately) that voters should reject Donald Trump, because he “sent an armed mob to the United States Capitol, where they assaulted law enforcement officers.”

Yet speakers at her own convention praised a crowd that assaulted police and attempted to burn them alive.

“I believe in America, because our fighters fought at Stonewall,” said Senator Cory Booker (D-N.J.) on Wednesday night. He was referring to the Stonewall riots, often considered the birthplace of the so-called Gay Liberation movement (which actually originated in Bethlehem, Pa.). On June 29, 1969, the Stonewall Inn became the site of anti-police violence as thousands of LGBT rioters attempted to burn the seedy, Mafia-run bar to the ground … with six New York City police officers inside. “I wanted to kill those cops,” said rioter John O’Brien.” Then-President Barack Obama, who spoke at the DNC Tuesday night, named the Stonewall Inn a national monument in 2016.

It seems only fitting the party of the 2020 BLM/Antifa riots salutes the Woke anti-police rioters of old, as well.

Speaking of incitement …

3. Al Sharpton Accused Former President Donald Trump of Racial Incitement

Few people embody racial incitement as fully as Al Sharpton, the founder of the National Action Network (NAN). His accusation that President Donald Trump fans “racial flames” must qualify as one of the greatest acts of projection in modern American political history.

Sharpton described Trump as “a fellow New Yorker I’ve known for more than 40 years.” He claimed when Trump took out a full-page ad calling for the execution of whomever brutally raped Central Park jogger Trisha Meili in 1989 that “it was then that I saw Trump love to fan racial flames.”

If Al Sharpton considered Donald Trump a racial arsonist in 1989, he should have told Al Sharpton. Before the last presidential election, Sharpton tweeted a photo of himself and Trump at the 2006 NAN convention holding a pleasant conversation with soul singer James Brown and Jesse Jackson. Trump described Sharpton as “[j]ust a conman at work!”

But it takes more than a con’s shamelessness to accuse others of your sins; as Bill Clinton said at a previous Democratic convention, that “takes a lot of brass.” As this reporter has noted:

“Al Sharpton founded the National Action Network shortly before the racially charged August 1991 Crown Heights riots. Sharpton led crowds in chanting, ‘No justice, no peace’ before rioters claimed the life of rabbinical student Yankel Rosenbaum. Sharpton’s ‘vile rhetoric incited the rioting,’ said Rosenbaum’s brother, Norman. A month earlier, Sharpton challenged New York’s Jewish community, ‘If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house.’ In 1995, Sharpton would lead months-long demonstrations against Jewish ‘white interlopers’ at Freddy’s Fashion Mart, who raised the rent of a black business owner; ultimately, a protester burned the store and killed eight people, including himself.”

This record has earned Sharpton the revulsion of most decent society, as well as appointments to the Biden-Harris administration’s National Parents and Families Engagement Council and a council allegedly dedicated to keeping churches safe.

Sharpton, who was ordained a minister at age nine before becoming a protégé of James Brown, engaged in aggressive rhetoric later in his 2024 DNC speech, promising, “We are going to join with whites and browns and Asians, and we going [sic] to do a job on those that have done a job on us.”

4. Kamala Harris Is ‘Tough as Nails’ on Border Security

As part of the Projection Party’s extreme makeover, Kamala Harris now presents herself not only as a prosecutor but a border hawk. “For 20 years, Kamala Harris has been tough as nails when it comes to securing our border,” stated Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) without proof. “Kamala on the other hand has been fighting border crime for years,” alleged Sheriff Javier Salazar of Bexar County, Texas (D). “She’s taken on gangs trafficking across the border,” insisted former President Bill Clinton.

In hailing Harris, Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.) praised the Biden-Harris administration’s latest quasi-amnesty, as the president in June promised to allow half a million illegal immigrants married to legal residents to Parole in Place (PIP). “We don’t have to choose between a secure border and building an America for all,” he said. “As president, she will fight for pathways to citizenship.”

In reality, “Biden-Harris-Mayorkas open border policies have facilitated the escalation of human trafficking for both sex and labor in the United States. Modern-day slavery and ultra-violent gangs,” noted Jessica Vaughan of the Center for Immigration Studies. The Office of Inspector General reported that, as of May, ICE had lost track of “more than 291,000” minors who crossed the border during the Biden-Harris administration. Just as the DNC kicked off, officials uncovered a new sex trafficking program of Venezuelans in the United States.

Yet the worst years for illegal immigration before the current administration transpired during years when a president or presidential candidate promised amnesty to illegal immigrants, in 1986 (1,692,544) and its close second in 2001 (1,676,438). The Biden-Harris administration has presided over three record-breaking years of illegal entries at the U.S. southern border:

  • Fiscal Year 2021 saw a historic 1,734,686 illegal entries at the southern border (not including other means of entry).
  • FY 2022 (2,378,944)
  • FY 2023 (2,475,669)

Border Czar Kamala Harris will go down as “one of the most catastrophic failures in American history,” said Rep. Eric Burlison (R-Mo.).

Even some of Harris’s fellow Democrats felt the party had ignored the border. “Clearly, the Democratic Party, my party, is not interested in talking about what matters,” Chicago City Council member Alderman Raymond Lopez (D) told Fox News host Laura Ingraham. “How are you going to keep people safe? How are you going to secure the border? And how are you going to deal with the eight million undocumented individuals that they let in on Kamala Harris’s lead?”

5. Planned Parenthood CEO Tells Democrats, ‘We Will Decide This Election’

As part of the Democratic Party’s most abortion-centric election to date, the leaders of the abortion industry addressed the DNC on Wednesday; one of them declared bluntly, “We will decide this election.”

“We trust Kamala Harris!” exclaimed Planned Parenthood CEO Alexis McGill Johnson during her address at the DNC on Wednesday. Planned Parenthood believes this is a pivotal election for its survival. “Our future is on the ballot,” she declared. “And come November 5, we will decide this election.”

Planned Parenthood Action enthused at her participation, posting on X, “That’s our President and CEO! ?’? #WeDecide.”

PPAct need not have exulted; the DNC indulged the entire abortion apparatus. Earlier in the day, former Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards said abortion makes American women “unstoppable.” EMILY’s List President Jessica Mackler insisted, “In 2022, Democrats didn’t just run on reproductive freedom; we won on reproductive freedom. And in 2024, we are coming back to the polls to finish the job.”

All the abortion leaders agreed Harris was sycophantic on maintaining their murderous source of income. Johnson vouched that Harris “has always and will always” hew to the abortion industry’s party line. “Her record shows it.” EMILY’s List posted on social media. “She’s with us, always.” Reproductive Freedom for All (formerly NARAL Pro-Choice America) — whose CEO, Mini Tammaraju, spoke at the DNC, as well — stated, “We can’t wait to vote for @KamalaHarris and @Tim_walz in November.”

Being in favor of a candidate is not enough: Alexis McGill Johnson bashed the 45th president, falsely stating that “Donald Trump wants women to be less free and pregnancy to be more dangerous.”

She seemed concerned about the industry’s survival. “Our future is on the ballot,” said the Planned Parenthood CEO.

6. School Lockdown Advocates Endorse Kamala Harris

Aside from the abortion industry, the Harris-Walz ticket has the full-throated support of the organization responsible for ruining the lives of the second-largest number of children: those responsible for prolonging school lockdowns, the teachers unions. The leaders of the largest two teachers unions, Becky Pringle of the National Education Association (NEA) and Randi Weingarten of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), addressed the DNC on Thursday.

“Donald Trump and J.D. Vance can’t claim they’re pro-child while gutting funding for public schools. That means that being pro-family means we support access to good union jobs, affordable housing, health care, and higher education,” said Weingarten. Gutting funding for public schools seems less hostile to children than dismemberment abortion, which the Biden-Harris administration has pledged to legalize in all 50 states.

“We are all in” for Harris, declared Weingarten.

7. Dem Rep: We Must March for Abortion for Our Daughters and Granddaughters

Rep. Grace Meng (D-N.Y.) told the convention they must preserve abortion for their children. When it comes to “our reproductive freedom,” Meng told the DNC, “our mothers and grandmothers marched for us. Because of them, my husband and I were able to choose if and when to start a family. … Now, it is our turn to take up the torch for our children and grandchildren.” President Donald Trump, she implied, would be bad for the abortion plans they have for their children and grandchildren. “He will not stop at banning abortion. He will let states track pregnancies. He’ll put birth control and fertility treatment at risk,” she said without proof. “Trump’s plan is cruel. It’s dangerous,” she said, giving a limp thumbs-down sign. “But it is not inevitable.”

In fact, it’s not even his plan.

8. Openly Gay Governor Tore a Book Defining Marriage as the Union of One Man and One Woman

The Democratic National Convention repeatedly turned the nation’s focus to Project 2025, a Heritage Foundation document produced for more than four decades, as though it represents the Republican Party’s platform. While no president has ever implemented the policy-dense guidelines, Donald Trump has actively disparaged it.

Not only did one governor discuss the project, but he tore out a page that defines a family as the union of one man and one woman.

“Tonight, let’s talk about freedom, including our most intimate freedom,” which is “choosing if and when to have children,” said Colorado Governor Jared Polis (D), who is openly gay. He held up an oversized prop book of Project 2025. “Page 451 says the only ‘legitimate’ family is a married mother and father where only the father works. You know what, I’m going to take that one out; I’m going to put it in my pocket so I can share it with undecided voters, so they can better understand what’s at stake this election. Project 2025 would turn the entire federal government and bureaucracy into a giant machine. It would weaponize it to control our reproductive and personal choices.”

The actual page from Project 2025 says nothing about “legitimate” families, stating:

Goal #3: Promoting Stable and Flourishing Married Families.

Families comprised of a married mother, father, and their children are the foundation of a well-ordered nation and healthy society. Unfortunately, family policies and programs under President Biden’s HHS are fraught with agenda items focusing on “LGBTQ+ equity,” subsidizing single-motherhood, disincentivizing work, and penalizing marriage. These policies should be repealed and replaced by policies that support the formation of stable, married, nuclear families.

Working fathers are essential to the well-being and development of their children, but the United States is experiencing a crisis of fatherlessness that is ruining our children’s futures. In the overwhelming number of cases, fathers insulate children from physical and sexual abuse, financial difficulty or poverty, incarceration, teen pregnancy, poor educational outcomes, high school failure, and a host of behavioral and psychological problems. By contrast, homes with non-related “boyfriends” present are among the most dangerous place for a child to be. HHS should prioritize married father engagement in its messaging, health, and welfare policies.

In the context of current and emerging reproductive technologies, HHS policies should never place the desires of adults over the right of children to be raised by the biological fathers and mothers who conceive them. In cases involving biological parents who are found by a court to be unfit because of abuse or neglect, the process of adoption should be speedy, certain, and supported generously by HHS.

Another book also defines marriage exclusively as the union of a man and a woman. Jesus said, “a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh. … What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder” (Matthew 19:1-6).

9. Dem Governor: ‘Democrats Welcome Weird’

The same governor, Jared Polis of Colorado, stated forthrightly, “Democrats welcome weird.” He went on to contrast the Democratic Party’s form of “weird” — which featured transgender delegates and an abortion unit — with “these Project 2025 people like Trump and Vance” who allegedly “aren’t just weird; they’re dangerous.” He referred to Taylor Swift song: “We’re not going back, like ever-ever-ever.”

10. Oprah Calls Kamala’s Marxist Dad ‘Idealistic’

Oprah Winfrey called Harris’s parents “idealistic.” The New Yorker described Harris’s father, Donald J. Harris, as “a renowned Marxist economist” and professor at the University of California at Berkeley. Marxist “idealism” claimed the lives of 100 million people in 100 years — and counting. Americans have gratefully been spared their murderous rampage in this country.

11. Former Republican: Vote for Kamala, because the GOP ‘Is No Longer Conservative’

Despite such a radical convention, former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) made a pitch for Republicans to support the Harris-Walz ticket, because “The Republican Party is no longer conservative.” Apparently, he believes conservatives should instead vote for the candidate promising price controls, open borders, abortion until birth, pornographic books in school libraries, and transgender surgeries for children.

Kinzinger’s former colleagues expressed disappointment with his about-face. “I served with Adam Kinzinger in Congress when we voted for the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act requiring medical care for babies surviving abortions,” replied former Congressman Mark Walker, who served as a Republican from North Carolina. “How sad to now see Adam speaking at the DNC where abortions are available on the street in the back of a truck.”

12. Dem Raised Possibility of Invalidating Donald Trump’s Election?

Rep. Suzan DelBene (D-Wash.) of th Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) touted the benefits of giving Democrats control of the House of Representatives. Americans “don’t want tax cuts for the wealthy, not a national abortion ban,” DelBene said. “And yes, a Democratic House means a Speaker Jeffries will certify the 2024 election.”

That dogwhistle hinted Democrats may not certify a Trump victory. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) said in an online clip that the Supreme Court seemed poised to fail its “very clear duty to disqualify Donald Trump from the ballot, under Section three of the 14th Amendment.”

“And what that might mean, if their decision says that it’s really up to Congress, on January 5th – or January 6th, 2025, to disqualify him at the counting of the Electoral College votes,” he said.

13. Democrats Mispronounce ‘Kamala’

Kamala Harris’s grand-nieces taught the crowd how to pronounce the name properly. They could have instructed Al Sharpton, who mispronounced the nominee’s name earlier in the evening. So did President Bill Clinton on Wednesday, as he dubbed her the “president of joy.”

14. The Democratic National Convention Featured the National Anthem as a Performance Piece?

The band formerly known as the Dixie Chicks (now “The Chicks”) sang the national anthem — a few hours into the proceedings. Typically, the national anthem opens any public meeting. Former President Barack Obama regularly treated the United States like just another nation. Apparently, the Democratic Party treats the national anthem like just another tune.

15. A Country Singer Crooned a Trump-like Anthem

The DNC featured a performance by country singer Mickey Guyton singing, “All American.” Yet the lyrics seem to fit the Trump campaign better than that of Harris. The lyrics state:

“We’re the stars in the Texas sky
And the jukebox vinyl
We’r? the New York City lights
And a hotel Bibl? …

millionaires, spare some change
And everything in between

“We got the same stars, the same stripes
Just wanna live that good life
Ain’t we all?
Ain’t we all all-American?

“We’re different in a million ways
But at the end of the day
Ain’t we all?

Ain’t we all all-American?”

The message seems an inexact fit for the DNC, which began its morning sessions by holding meetings that segregated delegates by race and ethnicity. The lyrics read more like a refrain from one of Donald Trump’s stump speeches:

“There’s one allegiance that unites us all, and that is to America — America; it’s the allegiance to America. No matter our background, or income, or geography, we’re all citizens of this blessed land. And no matter our color or the blood, color of the blood we bleed, it’s the same red blood of great, great patriots — remember great patriots. We all salute with pride the same American flag, and we all are equal, totally equal in the eyes of Almighty God.”

Ultimately, our true unity comes from being children of God.

16. As Democrats Sounded Patriotic Themes, Protesters Burned the American Flag

As Democratic strategists told friendly media outlets the 2024 Democratic National Convention intended to “reclaim” patriotism, protesters representing the Democratic Party’s base burned the American flag and assaulted a man who tried to stop them. Reporter Ben Bergquam attempted to intervene as demonstrators set Old Glory ablaze while chanting, “Free, free Palestine!” only for a masked man wearing a keffiyeh to shove him. He attempted to reason with the mob, saying the flag represents America herself.

“It’s our country!” said Bergquam.

“F*** this country! Burn it down! Burn it down!” shouted a masked protester. As he threw the stars and stripes on the fire, he yelled, “This is what we think of your rag.”

Perhaps it’s not surprising that his assault, on America and the patriotic citizens who tried to defend her, received no coverage from the legacy media, which refused to cover the proceedings taking place inside the convention hall — many of which you likely learned about for the first time in this article.

LGBT Group Walz Founded Wants to Trans Kids, Defund Police, and Abolish Borders

/in , , , , , , , , /by

Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz has boasted of founding the local chapter of an organization that demands the “abolition of the police, abolition of borders,” “reparations for all indigenous and black peoples,” placing males in female correctional institutions, and transgender procedures for minors without parental consent — all while concealing children’s transgender identity from their parents. An LGBTQ website has said Walz’s behavior toward his students would get him labeled a “groomer” today. Walz’s wife, Gwen, is equally supportive of indoctrinating children in this group’s agenda, because she considers it part of her religious faith that “God created … some people gay.”

Tim Walz founded the local chapter of the GSA Network at Mankato West High School in the late 1990s. Numerous delegates highlighted Walz’s connection to the organization as he prepared to speak on the third night of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

“I want to hear from the man who stepped up to create the Gay-Straight Alliance in the late ‘90s — the coach who stood up for the kids who needed him,” a teary-eyed Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) told MSNBC’s Joy Reid early Wednesday evening. In a video that night, the Minnesota governor’s wife, Gwen Walz boasted, “When one of our students started the school’s Gay-Straight Alliance, Tim agreed to serve as faculty adviser, because he knew how impactful it would be to have a football coach involved.”

Both called the group by its former name, the “Gay-Straight Alliance.” But the organization renamed itself the Genders & Sexualities Alliance Network (GSA Network) in 2015 to prove that its 4,000 affiliates “have moved beyond the labels of gay and straight, and the limits of a binary gender system.” (The Mankato West chapter has also changed its name.)

The GSA Network codified its political beliefs in a document on its resources page titled “Truth Nine Point Platform.” The platform calls for “the Abolition of the Police,” U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), “Borders and the Judicial System”; “an End of the Cisgender Heterosexual Patriarchy”; “Reparations for all Indigenous and Black Peoples,” including “Indigenous reclamation of stolen lands”; and “free and non-compulsory education for all ages.”

“We demand abolition! Abolition of the police, abolition of borders and ICE, abolition of the current punishment-based justice system. [sic.] We demand for our communities to be empowered to take care of themselves, for no borders, for rehabilitation and healing justice,” the manifesto declares.

The diminutive revolutionary screed claims that it “builds upon the Black Panther Party’s Ten-Point Program,” although the FBI has confirmed that the Black Panther Party “advocated the use of violence and guerilla tactics to overthrow the U.S. government.”

“We are in a moment which calls for us to bravely and ferociously fight for our communal liberation,” which will be launched “in the name of our transgender and gender nonconforming ancestors who struggled before us,” proclaims the GSA Network’s document. “The revolution is a relationship.”

The Walz family signaled its solidarity with the George Floyd/BLM riots, which touched off in Minnesota in May 2020. Gwen Walz said she inhaled the smell of burning tires through her open window in order to feel close to the revolutionary BLM movement. Whistleblowers say Tim Walz ordered police to abandon the third precinct to arsonists, whom Kamala Harris urged her followers to bail out of jail.

The organization’s revolutionary platform, adopted in 2018, is anything but a dead letter: The GSA Network referred to “our TRUTH Nine-Point Platform” last November (specifically, its call for reparations) and quoted the manifesto in its most recent press release in March. (The November press release also demanded U.S. taxpayers furnish “aid to Gaza” and decries “the ongoing colonization and cultural genocide of black and brown peoples.”)

The GSA Network’s Extreme Transgender Agenda

The GSA Network believes in promoting transgender ideology and facilitating children’s transgender “transitions” with or without parental consent. “Know the laws in your state around students’ privacy rights and what you do and don’t have to tell parents/ guardians/families. This is important so you don’t inadvertently out a student as a member of the GSA,” states the GSA Advisor Handbook, aimed at public school teachers like Walz. “When calling youth, it may not be safe to mention ‘GSA club’ or another trans or queer reference.”

The Nine-Point Platform also states “trans youth” should have “self-determination” over “all aspects of our lives.” The GSA Network slammed state laws that protect children from the predatory transgender industry. Laws against “providing gender-affirming healthcare to trans youth … effectively deny trans youth basic human rights and dignity,” claimed GSA in 2020.

At the local level, Mankato West High School’s GSA chapter walked out of class in April 2022 to protest Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Act, which says teachers should not “encourage classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity” before the fourth grade.

The GSA Network also believes in placing teenage boys who say they identify as transgender in female juvenile detention facilities. In a 2017 report co-authored by the Soros-funded Center for American Progress, the GSA Network complained, “LGBTQ youth are frequently placed in facilities according to the sex on their birth certificate or based on their genitalia. … [T]ransgender youth should be housed based on the gender identity they express rather than based on anatomical sex or the sex on their birth certificate.”

Tim Walz has put many of the GSA Network’s political priorities into action as governor of Minnesota. He signed a bill (House File 146) that would take minors into state emergency custody if the child has been “unable to obtain gender-affirming health care” because his parents objected, as well as banning compassionate therapeutic care for people suffering from unwanted transgender feelings. The roots of these policies date back to Walz’s days as a teacher.

Walz’s Action Would Get You Called a ‘Groomer’: LGBT Website

Walz has said publicly that Mankato students came to him about founding a GSA chapter — but his advocacy of the LGBT agenda predates his time at Mankato West High School. While teaching at a high school in Nebraska in the early 1990s, Tim and Gwen Walz took a student who identified as homosexual to a concert by the Indigo Girls, an openly lesbian folk rock group.

The LGBTQ website Them stated that, today, the Walzes’ behavior would be “liable to get you called a ‘groomer.’”

In 1997, two years before the founder of Mankato West’s GSA chapter ever thought of the idea, Gwen Walz announced “out of the blue” on the first day of her 10th grade English class that it would be “a safe space for gay and lesbian students,” according to former student Jacob Reitan. He reportedly told Mrs. Walz about his sexual preference before he told his own parents.

Tim Walz also encouraged children to have frank discussions about adult subject matter at school. One of Walz’s former students, 2004 graduate Seth Elliot Meyer, remembered that Walz “wanted me to be OK with who I was” by embracing a bisexual identity as an impressionable teenager. Another of Walz’s former pupils — Micah Kronlokken, who described himself as “a young, closeted, queer kid” when Walz coached him in the seventh grade — said Tim Walz believed that teenagers should be “treated a little more like adults and trusted to have tricky conversations, and that high school is a microcosm for our world at large.”

Walz later confessed, “To create a culture in a school that was welcoming, open, and understanding” of the LGBTQ movement and its aims “was something that Gwen and I always strove for.”

“Both Tim and Gwen were incredibly supportive of their gay students,” said Reitan, who is now a lawyer and LGBTQ activist. Walz “showed the bully a better path forward, and I can think of no one better than Tim Walz to show that better path forward for America.”

Walz did not defend these policies during his debut on the national stage Wednesday night. Instead, the Harris-Walz campaign appears to be relying on media tropes that brand their political enemies as intolerant hatemongers. In the DNC video, Walz’s former student Noah Hobbs said Walz “stands up to bullies,” repeating the common LGBTQ activist tactic of bullying people of faith, who do not celebrate extreme transgender ideology or sinful sexual relationships, as “bullies.”

Walz has used the same language throughout his political career. While running for governor, Walz asserted that he — as “an older, white, straight, married football coach” — could assure “that there’s no bullying.” During his 2023 his State of the State address, Walz alleged that Republicans “want to put bullies in charge of your health care,” while he would “put bullies in their place. And that’s why we protected access to gender-affirming health care.”

Walz, who has been accused of opportunism, may believe his association with the GSA Network boosts his standing with the Democratic Party’s left-wing base. In a 2018 campaign ad for governor, Walz cited his founding of his school’s GSA chapter as proof that he “can actually deliver on those progressive promises,” because he had “done it in the past.”

Walz’s ties to GSA would send a more concerning signal to the parents of children suffering from Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria (ROGD). Yaeli Martinez first encountered transgender ideology at an LGBTQ high school club. In time, she began to identify as a boy named “Andrew” and ran away from home. Upon learning that her mother, Abigail Martinez, did not support her gender transition, the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services put the underage Yaeli into a group home. In 2019, Yaeli committed suicide by stepping in front of a moving train. (Her heartbreaking story is illustrated in the movie “Gender Transformations: The Untold Realities,” an original production of The Epoch Times.)

The Walz Family: ‘God Creates People … Gay or Straight’

Stories such as these, or those of other detransitioners left with the scars of poor adolescent decisions facilitated by adults, seem unlikely to sway Tim Walz and his wife, who appear to have a religious devotion to LGBT ideology.

“For Ms. Walz, being an ally for gay students was a matter of living up to the tenets of her Christian faith,” reported The New York Times. A spokeswoman for Gwen Walz, Claire Lancaster, told the newspaper that Mrs. Walz holds a “strong belief that God creates people in the way they are supposed to be, whether that is gay or straight.” President Joe Biden has expressed similar sentiments.

The Minneapolis Star-Tribune has described Tim Walz as “steeped in the Catholic social justice traditions of his parents.” However, the Catechism of the Catholic Church explains that sodomy is a grave sin that can never be approved:

“Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that ‘homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.’ They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.”

If Tim Walz rejects the Roman Catholic Church’s binding doctrine on faith and morals, he is also out of step with U.S. voters. Earlier this month, former President Donald Trump contrasted Walz’s extreme views with the mainstream of the American electorate. “This is a ticket that would want this country to go communist immediately, if not sooner,” said Trump. “He’s very heavy into transgender — anything transgender he thinks is great.”

“He’s not where the country is on anything,” Trump concluded.

Kamala Harris Promises to Impose Abortion on All 50 States as President

Kamala Harris promised to use the federal government to expand abortion nationwide, because Americans cannot “truly be prosperous” without abortion, and pro-life Americans are “out of their minds,” said Harris while accepting the Democratic presidential nomination Thursday night.

Harris basked in the glow of the audience as she stood at the podium of the United Center in Chicago to deliver an acceptance speech long on personal history but slight on policy specifics, aside from a vow to extend the abortion industry into all 50 states, irrespective of each state’s individual laws.

“When Congress passes a bill to restore reproductive freedom, as president of the United States, I will proudly sign it into law,” candidate Harris vowed.

Jarringly, as Harris made those remarks, the official DNC video feed of the acceptance speech panned out to feature a baby in the crowd.

Although Harris did not name a specific bill, the Biden-Harris administration has endorsed, the so-called “Women’s Health Protection” Act, which goes far beyond the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling by striking down more than 1,300 state pro-life protections including laws:

  • Prohibiting sex-selective abortions;
  • Barring many abortions after viability;
  • Preventing abortions on babies 20 weeks or older, who are capable of feeling pain;
  • Disallowing abortions undertaken without parental consent or notification;
  • Prohibiting telemedicine abortion drug prescriptions, which involve no in-person medical examination;
  • Banning unlicensed individuals from carrying out abortions;
  • Allowing pregnant mothers to receive scientifically accurate information about their babies’ development, or to see an ultrasound or hear the child’s fetal heartbeat; and
  • Allowing pro-life medical professionals the right to refuse to participate in an abortion.

A more modest national abortion expansion bill, dubbed the Reproductive Choice Act co-sponsored by Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), would reestablish the guidelines of the Roe and Casey decisions. However, Senate Democrats and the Biden-Harris administration have favored the more sweeping, top-down WHP bill.

The abortion issue emerged as the convention’s defining issue, referred to by one speaker after another. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), an outspoken advocate of national abortion expansion and regulation of pro-life pregnancy resource centers, promised earlier in the evening that Kamala Harris will “take on the right-wing extremists who think they should decide who has access to abortion or IVF. Kamala will protect abortion rights nationwide.” Warren inadvertently put abortion in a separate category from health care, stating that the Democratic Party’s agenda consisted of “groceries, gas, housing, health care, taxes, abortion.” Earlier in the evening, former Rep. Gabrielle Gifford of Arizona, who was shot while in office, said, “Kamala can beat the gun lobby. … She will protect abortion access!”

Harris’s acceptance speech signaled a further break with past candidates such as President Bill Clinton, who spoke on Wednesday night; as candidate, Clinton said abortion should be “safe, legal, and rare.” Harris, who has spent much of the last two years since the Dobbs decision as the White House point person on abortion, extolled abortion as a vital component of American liberty.

“I believe America cannot truly be prosperous unless Americans are fully able to make their own decisions about their own lives,” said Harris moments before invoking “reproductive freedom,” the convention’s preferred euphemism for abortion-on-demand. Her words echoed those of Oprah Winfrey on Thursday night that abortion is part of “the American dream.”

Pro-life advocates pushed back forcefully on the notion. “Not being allowed to kill your child does not equate to slavery,” responded Bryan Kemper, an Ohio-based pro-life advocate.

In office, Harris has seen her administration give the green light for abortionists to mail the abortion pill, mifepristone, to pro-life states in violation of federal law and furnish taxpayer-funded leave to pregnant members of the military who travel out of pro-life states to undergo an abortion.

Moments after promising to allow surgical abortion throughout the country, Harris slammed her political opponents for pro-life positions they never adopted. “We know, and we know what a second Trump term would look like. It’s all laid out in Project 2025,” insisted Harris, although CNN’s fact-checker ranked Democrats’ continual references to the Heritage Foundation project — which President Trump has publicly disdained — false.

Trump “and his allies would limit access to birth control, ban medication abortion, and enact a nationwide abortion ban, with or without Congress,” Harris claimed. “And get this — get this! He plans to create a national anti-abortion coordinator, and force states to report on women’s miscarriages and abortions.”

“Simply put, they are out of their minds,” Harris thundered.

The demur 2024 Republican Party platform does not promise to enact any federal pro-life protection and leaves all new legislation protecting the unborn to the states, a position President Trump has reiterated consistently. His campaign and allies denied Harris’s allegations. “Fact Check: there is no circumstance in which Trump wants to track and monitor miscarriages,” retorted Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah). “President Trump has REPEATEDLY stated he will not sign a federal abortion ban. Kamala is a liar,” said Trump 2024 National Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

Yet Harris’s speech indicates efforts to distance the GOP from the pro-life issue have failed, and that the Democrats see abortion as anything but a state issue.

In economic policy, Harris vowed, “We will pass a middle-class tax cut that will benefit more than 100 million Americans.” To date, the Biden-Harris administration has proposed $7 trillion in tax hikes, according to the Republican-controlled House Ways and Means Committee.

She also promised “to create jobs, to grow our economy and to lower the cost of everyday needs like health care and housing and groceries,” as well as to “end America’s housing shortage, and protect Social Security and Medicare.” The Biden-Harris administration presided over near-record inflation levels that peaked at 9.1% in June 2022, increasing the prices of all household staples. “A loaf of bread costs 50% more today than it did before the pandemic,” admitted Harris last Friday. “Ground beef is up almost 50%.” The price of a gallon of gasoline has increased from $2.33 in January 2021 to $3.62. “It costs a family an extra $13,300 per year for the same house compared to January 2021,” reported Kevin Roberts of the Heritage Foundation.

Harris accused President Trump of seeking to enact “a national sales tax, call it a Trump tax, that would raise prices on middle-class families.” She is referring to his statement that he may consider an across-the-board tariff on foreign-made goods.

Like the Democratic campaign before President Joe Biden exited the race, much of the party’s rhetoric aims at demonizing President Donald Trump and placing him beyond the pale as a figure committed to overturning “our democracy.”

“The consequences of putting Donald Trump back in the White House are extremely serious,” Harris insisted on Thursday night. “He sent an armed mob to the U.S. Capitol, where they assaulted law enforcement officers. When politicians in his own party begged him to call off the mob and send help, he did the opposite — he fanned the flames.” In fact, President Trump encouraged marchers to walk to the Capitol “peacefully” and posted a video online asking them to disperse — a video online platforms later suppressed or removed.

“Consider what he intends to do if we give him power again. Consider his explicit intent to set free violent extremists who assaulted those law enforcement officers at the Capitol; his explicit intent to jail journalists, political opponents, and anyone he sees as the enemy; his explicit intent to deploy our active-duty military against our own citizens,” said Harris.

The threat her opponent may lock up journalists rang hollow to investigator David Daleiden of the Center for Medical Progress. Daleiden and Sandra Merritt published undercover videos showing officials at the highest levels of Planned Parenthood describing how they perform a potentially illegal partial birth abortion to harvest and sell aborted babies’ organs to scientific researchers. After pushback from the abortion industry, then-California Attorney General Kamala Harris prosecuted the undercover reporters for filming Planned Parenthood without their express permission—something Daleiden’s lawyer, Harmeet Dhillon, likened to “60 Minutes” investigations.

Daleiden accused Harris of being “‘unburdened by what has been’ in 2016.” Daleiden reminded Harris, “As a citizen journalist, I had my home raided, work product seized at gunpoint, and spent an afternoon behind bars because of your fealty to” Planned Parenthood.

Harris attempted to appeal to moderate and undecided voters, promising to abide by the rule of law. “I know there are people of various political views watching tonight. And I want you to know, I promise to be a president for all Americans. You can always trust me to put country above party and self,” Harris proclaimed.

That echoes a promise repeatedly made at the outset of the Biden-Harris administration, which critics say turned out to be false. “I will work as hard for those who didn’t vote for me as those who did,” Biden promised just one day after the media declared him winner of the 2020 election. Biden made the same promise in his inaugural address.

Once in power, the Biden-Harris administration oversaw the first FBI raid on the home of a former president, prosecuted peaceful pro-life advocates such as Mark Houck, and attempted to recruit informants inside traditional Roman Catholic churches. This administration’s targeting of its political enemies has become so outlandish that the House Judiciary Committee formed a subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government to investigate it on a case-by-case basis.

Harris’s critics, especially her Republican opponent, noted that Harris has attempted to distance herself from her own record over the last three years, and to feign powerlessness as the sitting vice president of the United States.

“Why didn’t she do the things that she’s complaining about?” asked Trump immediately after the speech on Fox News “She could have done it three and a half years ago … and she could still do them. She’s got four-and-a-half, five months left.”

“She didn’t talk about China. She didn’t talk about fracking. She didn’t talk about crime. … She didn’t talk about housing really, the trade deficit. She didn’t talk about child trafficking that she’s allowed to happen, because she’s the Border Czar and she’s presided over the weakest border.”

“She talks, but she doesn’t do. There’s no action.”

Harris’s speech concluded the 2024 Democratic National Convention. You can read The Washington Stand’s coverage of day one, day two, and day three.

CO2 Has Been Indicted by Consensus, Not Real Science or Critical Thinking

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

When asking those who believe that CO2 is a major climate antagonist to make their strongest argument, their most common response is: “CO2 has been identified as the primary Climate culprit by the majority of experts (e.g., climatologists) and scientific organizations (e.g., the IPCC).” This is clearly a consensus claim.

I’ve repeatedly warned that one of the major fights we are in, is to defend genuine Science, as its enemies are actively trying to replace it with political science. This situation is a dead giveaway, as consensus is the currency of politics, NOT Science!

Put another way, the claim of consensus is deference to authority. They are saying don’t ask any questions! Just be quiet as others know a lot more about this matter than you do. Further, they continue, it’s not possible that all those experts would be lying to us!

Both of these are very reasonable viewpoints. However, whether or not they should end the conversation is the question. Let’s look at a recent very close Science parallel for enlightenment. Here is a layperson’s history of what happened…

There are roughly 8 Billion people on the planet who periodically experience stomach ailments (i.e., gastrointestinal distress). The concern often is: will these common human pains turn into something much more major — like an ulcer?

An ulcer is a perforation of the stomach lining, which is a serious matter, and there are about 4 Million cases of these in the US, every year — so it is relatively common.

For nearly 200 years the medical establishment believed that stomach ulcers (technically peptic ulcers) were caused by stress. The hypothesis was that stress produced excess (gastric) acid in the stomach, which (in turn) eventually ate away some of the stomach’s lining. (The first connection between these was made in 1822.)

In this case when I say “medical establishment” I mean worldwide 100% of relevant PhDs, MDs, RNs, PAs, etc. Also 100% of hospitals (like the Mayo Clinic). Also 100% of universities and medical schools (like Johns Hopkins). Also 100% of medical textbooks. Also 100% of medical journals (like the Lancet, and NE Journal of Medicine). Also 100% of medical organizations (like the AMA). Also 100% of government medical agencies (like the FDA, CDC, DOH). Also 100% of pharma-ceutical companies (like Pfizer, Merck, Johnson & Johnson, Bristol Myers Squibb). This was also the position of the MD’s bible: the Physician’s Desk Reference.

As a point of reference, the combined number of worldwide medical experts here is roughly a hundred times the amount of worldwide anti-CO2 experts.

They were ALL wrong!

The basic reason that these many thousands of highly educated people were wrong, is that none of them actually applied the Scientific Method to the accepted and sensibly sounding hypothesis about the cause of stomach ulcers! Instead of taking the time and effort to perform a genuine Scientific assessment of this common worldwide issue, they relied on intuition — plus the fact that other experts were on board. (This is very similar to what is going on regarding Climate and the faulting of CO2.)

What’s the Truth?

The Truth regarding stomach ulcers was discovered when two Australian scientists (Dr. Robin Warren and Dr. Barry Marshall) decided to apply the Scientific Method (!) to the medical establishment’s ulcer hypothesis. (Note that what we still have regarding CO2 is a scientifically unproven hypothesis as to its full relationship with Climate.)

The short story is that in 1982 Drs Warren and Marshall proved that most stomach ulcers are caused by a bacteria: H. pylori — NOT stress-induced excess acid production! (Read sample stories here, here, and here.) Note that this scientific finding is not even remotely similar to the stress/acid hypothesis that tens of thousands of medical experts had fully bought into, for many decades…

This was a VERY BIG DEAL. This NIH study says about their work: “Advances in drug therapy for peptic ulcer have had a significant impact on quality of life and work potential of many millions of affected persons and have contributed to a remarkable decrease in the prevalence of the disease, frequency, and severity of complications, hospitalizations, and mortality.”

Why this Catastrophic Failure of Experts?

This failure is particularly hard to understand regarding pharmaceutical companies, which have thousands of qualified experts (e.g., PhD Biologists and Chemists). Why didn’t those scientists figure out the truth through scientific experiments, since they have the experts, labs, and money?

Because, exactly like the IPCC, they started with an unproven assumption. In this case, it was that excess acid was causing most ulcers (and that stress was causing the acid)… A cynic would say that there is a second major reason: they didn’t want to get to the Truth, as that was not in their financial best interest!

In any case, following the unproven ulcer hypothesis, pharmaceutical companies produced two types of “solutions”: 1) drugs to reduce stress (anti-anxiety meds like Xanax and Valium) plus 2) drugs to reduce stomach acid (Nexium, Tums, etc.). But neither of these do anything meaningful to address the primary cause of ulcers!

There is an exact parallel with industrial wind energy and solar proposed (by experts) as “solutions” for the climate issue, as neither of those has genuine scientific proof that they work (i.e., save a consequential amount of CO2).

What happened after this Discovery?

What followed Drs. Warren’s and Marshall’s published peer-reviewed study is also instructive.

To begin with, there was great skepticism by the medical establishment (aka the “experts” who have been wrong for many years).

In 1996 (14 years after Drs. Warren’s and Marshall’s findings were published and verified) the FDA finally approved the first antibiotic for treatment of ulcer disease.

In a 1997 study (15 years after their findings were published and verified), data show that about 75 percent of ulcer patients were still treated primarily with antacid type medications, and only 5 percent receive antibiotic therapy!

This shows the powerful resistance by “experts” to accept the Truth — especially when it exposes the fact that said experts were totally WRONG, for decades…

Prompted by this study, in 1997 the CDC, with other government agencies, academic institutions, and industry, launched a national education campaign to inform health-care providers and consumers about the link between the H. pylori bacteria and ulcers.

Drs. Warren and Marshall subsequently won the 2005 Nobel Prize in Medicine for following the Science.

What’s the Takeaway?

Please reflect on the original question: can tens of thousands of well-educated experts, universities, medical journals, textbooks, medical organizations, pharmaceutical companies, and government agencies, be dead wrong? Absolutely YES!!!

Is this because they are ignorant? (Not in general, but they certainly were ignorant about how Science works.) Is this due to a conspiracy? (Hard to say.)

Summary: the experts were wrong as they lazily went with intuition, plus the comfort of consensus of their peers Furthermore, they decided it was too much trouble to apply scientific rigor via the Scientific Method to their ulcer hypothesis. Lastly, for some of the medical experts, it was in their financial interest to not reveal the truth.

Today we have an almost identical situation with the hypothesis against CO2…

PS — A strong argument can be made that the same departure from Science (short-cutting) happened with COVID-19. That will be another commentary.

ROOKE: Looks Like Trump Has Plans To Flip The Script On Kamala’s Big Week

/in , , , , , , , /by

With the countdown to Nov. 5 quickly approaching, both candidates are vying to stay on top of the narrative race.

That’s hard to do for former President Donald Trump this week while Vice President Kamala Harris enjoys wall-to-wall coverage from sympathetic media at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago. Still, Trump reportedly has a plan to end the week with the focus on him, and if it’s true, it’s brilliant.

Reports circulated on Wednesday that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had decided to withdraw from the presidential race and endorse Trump. Shortly after the rumors spread, Kennedy released a statement on his presidential website announcing that he would address the nation in a live-streamed press conference on Friday to discuss “the present historical moment and his path forward.”

Trump and Kennedy will both be in Phoenix, Arizona, on Friday. Nothing would erase the last five days of DNC speeches and momentum more from Americans’ minds than the optics of having a former Democratic presidential candidate currently running the most prominent third-party candidacy in history drop out to endorse a Republican.

Kennedy has a unique perspective on Democrats, being one his entire life. He initially ran as a primary opponent against President Joe Biden. Still, members from his own party worked against him (Biden even went as far as denying him a Secret Service protection detail) to prevent him from being successful.

When Kennedy dropped out of the primary race to run for president as an independent, his polling showed he took votes almost equally from Democrats and Republicans. But now, with Biden out and Harris the Democratic nominee, he was siphoning more support from Trump than Harris. Having Kennedy drop out and endorse him would help Trump with the polling and controlling the narrative.

If Kennedy stands on stage with Trump in Arizona on Friday and tells Americans that they should be voting for the man the establishment hates, the one they all claim will end our democracy, it will be a moment too big for even the Harris sycophants in regime media to ignore. They’ll have to cover it. No one will be talking about the DNC. The nation will be focused on Trump and Kennedy. Harris will be an afterthought on the biggest week of her political career.

Every time Trump seems to be knocked down to the point of failure, he stands right back up, yelling, “FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!”

Tim Walz Doubles Down on Pornographic Books in School at DNC

/in , , , , , , , , , , /by

Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz sided with radical LGBTQ activists and public school administrators in their bid to make pornographic books available to minors during his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) on Wednesday night.

Walz, the governor of Minnesota, told the assembled DNC delegates he happily opposed parents’ wishes to protect their children’s innocence. “While other states were banning books from their schools, we were banishing hunger from ours,” said Walz.

The book “Gender Queer” by Maia Kobabe, which is consistently reported as the book parents object to the most, contains multiple graphic images illustrating homosexual sex, sometimes between adolescents.

Another controversial book, “Lawn Boy” by Jonathan Evison, features a character who casually reveals that, as a child, he performed fellatio on a grown man. “I was in fourth grade. It was no big deal,” the character said. “It wasn’t terrible.”

Concerned parents would like to see these books, which are often available to minors of any age, moved to an age-restricted area of the library, where they would be available to minors only with their parents’ permission. But Democrats have repeatedly accused them of censorship and voted to keep the books on school shelves.

“This is a big part of what this election is about: freedom,” said Walz in a 17-minute address. “When Republicans use the word freedom, they mean the government should be free to invade your doctor’s office.” It was not clear if Walz’s comments referred to transgender procedures for minors or abortion-on-demand until the moment of birth, both of which he favors.

Accusing parents who refuse to furnish pornography to their children of supporting “book bans” has been a leitmotif of the 2024 Democratic convention, with former First Lady Michelle Obama sounding similar themes on Tuesday. Just before Walz took the stage, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro (D) — whom Harris ruled out as a potential running mate to avoid offending anti-Israeli protesters — defined children’s ability to override their parents’ wishes vis-à-vis reading sexually explicit material as an essential component of freedom.

“It’s not freedom to tell our children what books they’re allowed to read. No, it’s not!” said Shapiro. “And it’s not freedom to tell women what they can do with their body.”

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg concluded his speech Wednesday night by shouting that Democrats “embrace the leaders who are out there building bridges and reject the ones who are out there banning books!”

Longstanding talk show host and New Age practitioner Oprah Winfrey made her first appearance at a Democratic convention Wednesday night and joined in on the “book ban” bandwagon, decrying “people who want to scare you, who want to rule you, people who would have you believe that books are dangerous.” She also warned about “tricks and tropes meant to distract us from what really matters.” Democrats often define GOP opposition to left-wing culture wars as a “distraction.”

Walz and his fellow Democrats went on to include the ability to take unborn life as an unalienable aspect of “freedom.” Walz boasted, “We also protected reproductive freedom” in Minnesota, where he signed a bill essentially codifying abortion until birth, with no protections for the unborn child at any stage of development.

“We are the party of real freedom,” Shapiro declared to his fellow Democrats. “Real freedom comes when [an American] can join a union, marry who she loves, start a family on her own terms,” a euphemism for abortion-on-demand. In a video aired at the DNC on Wednesday evening, a man said he defined freedom as being able to love his “husband.”

Winfrey tied the availability of abortion to the American dream. “If you do not have autonomy over this,” she said, gesturing to her midsection, “if you cannot control — women — how you choose to bring your children into this world and how they are raised and supported, there is no American dream.”

Walz and others went further, comingling their support for the taking of unborn life (and, at times, for sodomy) with the Golden Rule and other biblical themes. “We respect our neighbors and the personal choices they make — even if we wouldn’t make these same choices for ourselves. We’ve got a Golden Rule: Mind your own damned business,” said Walz, misquoting the Golden Rule laid down by Jesus to love all human life.

Senator Cory Booker (D-N.J.), who acted as emcee for the evening, also invented Bible verses as he vowed Kamala Harris would support “LGBTQ rights, reproductive rights, the right to marry who you love, the right to be free.”

“We’re not going to lose our faith,” Booker said. “I believe in America, because our elders told us, as the Gospel says, ‘We shall overcome.’” The Bible does not say, “We shall overcome,” which is the title of a Gospel song that became associated with the 1960s civil rights movement.

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), who would be the next Speaker of the House if Democrats take control of the lower chamber, alternately quoted Taylor Swift and the Book of Psalms as he promised to “protect our DREAMers, and always protect a woman’s freedom to make her own reproductive health care decisions.”

“We are one nation under God,” said Jeffries just moments later. “In the Old Testament, Book of Psalms, the Scripture tells us that weeping may endure during the long night, but joy will come in the morning.”

His predecessor, Speaker of the House Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) saluted Kamala Harris as “a person of deep faith,” a trait for which Harris has not been known. “She is a leader of strength and wisdom and eloquence on policy, most recently demonstrated fighting for a woman’s right to choose” abortion on demand. Pelosi also saluted Harris for “quickly securing the nomination.”

In a speech MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow called “weird and meander-y,” 78-year-old former President Bill Clinton put the fight for abortion and sexual liberation in a different worldview. “We know that we’re being asked to fight the same fight that the forces of progress have had to fight for the last 250 years,” he insisted.

Buttigieg, who often accused his opponents of using “faith as a cudgel” during the 2020 primaries, said Wednesday night that his Republican foes support “darkness — darkness is what they are selling.”

“I believe in a better politics,” he said, citing his Episcopalian church background. Proof of a brighter future, to him, came in the nation’s rapid about-face on redefining marriage. The legal recognition of same-sex marriage “was literally impossible” 25 years ago, he noted. “This kind of life went from impossible to possible … in less than half a lifetime.”

Buttigieg also claimed same-sex marriage triumphed through “persuasion” and “politics.” In fact, voters in 31 states (including California) protected natural marriage, only to have their elections overturned by judicial activists on the Supreme Court in 2015’s Obergefell opinion.

Kamala Harris will deliver her acceptance speech on Thursday night.

WATCH VIDEO: Dr. Malone lays bare the globalist plan for total control over all human behavior

/in , , , , , , , , , , /by

Dr. Robert Malone is calling for people to “rise up” and resist the evil powers that are using “psychological warfare” to fundamentally change human nature.

Malone, one of the inventors of mRNA technology, warns that those behind the push to unleash monkeypox as the “next pandemic” are driving humanity to “the end of the line as we know it.”

Speaking during an interview with Alex Jones of Infowars, Malone declared that people must resist the pressure from globalists to strip the public of their freedoms and humanity.

Dr. Malone likened the situation to a “fight between good and evil.” That’s true, but I would take it a step further and say we are living at a time of intense spiritual warfare, not just between good and evil, but between Christ and the forces of anti-Christ. Everyone will at some point be forced to pick a side.

Dr. Malone also used the term “surveillance capitalism.” That’s a key component of the global deception.

We conservatives tend to lump all of the world’s evildoers into the category of “Marxist” or “socialist” or “communist,” but there are plenty of the devil’s minions working under the banner of “capitalism.” You find them at the World Economic Forum. You find them within the Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations (remember George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and that crew? They did every bit as much to destroy freedom in America as Barack Obama.)

WEF Founder and Chairman Klaus Schwab is a big proponent of what he calls “Stakeholder Capitalism.” Others call it “corporate capitalism.” Whatever you wish to call it, it is extremely authoritarian in the way it involves both the public and private sectors to lord power over people. It’s a form of modern feudalism using the lure of technology to create digital zombies.

It’s all the same in the end, whether it’s a Marxist government, or public-private partnerships in which large and very powerful private corporations work with the government to control and oppress the people. They’re in the business of stealing human souls, canceling their God-given free will for the purpose of manipulating them, then selling off the spent husks of formerly human souls for profit. Sounds like a line right out of Revelation 18:11-13.

The end-times Babylonian system, according to this scripture, will commercialize, commoditize and monetize all manner of goods and services, including “cargo of gold, silver, precious stones, and pearls; of fine linen, purple, silk, and scarlet; of all kinds of citron wood and every article of ivory, precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble; cinnamon and incense, fragrant oil and frankincense, wine and oil, fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and bodies and souls of men.”

BODIES AND SOULS OF MEN = Digitized human slaves, whose most personal data gets sold and resold among governments and corporations, then bet upon like house chips on a casino table.

We cannot allow ourselves to be used and abused by these globalist techno-predator capitalists anymore than we can allow ourselves to be used/abused by the communists.

Resist man’s ever-encroaching, ever-invasive and intrusive system of control. Become ungovernable.

Tim Walz Went To War On Zyn While Pushing Free Needles, Legalizing Pot

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

Tim Walz has legalized pot, pushed free needles and is open to psychedelic drug legalization, all while taxing nicotine pouches at a 95 percent clip during his tenure as Minnesota’s Governor.

Democrats are attempting to sell Walz as a friend to the working class, praising his “Midwestern values.” His policy history, however, indicates a Walz-Harris Administration may be in favor of crushing the vices of blue collar and traditional America.

Walz, who Vice President Kamala Harris tapped in early August to be her running mate, amended the state’s Tobacco Tax law in May to categorize tobacco-free nicotine products like Zyn as “moist snuff,” rendering it eligible for a 95 percent tax rate.

Use of adult smokeless tobacco, which includes Zyn nicotine pouches, skew heavily towards midwestern, low-income men living in rural areas, according to data from the CDC and the UK’s National Institute of Health (NIH).

Zyn has also become a popular emblem among proponents of traditional masculinity, with popular voices like Joe Rogan and Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson championing them.

The product also became an unlikely political battleground after Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer called for a federal crackdown on the pouches.

The left’s war on Zyn has prompted backlash from prominent Republican lawmakers.

Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are more concerned with policing working class vices like Zyn than dealing with the crisis on the border, Republican Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville told the Daily Caller.

“Democrats would rather exert more government authority over Americans instead of addressing the surge of deadly drugs pouring into our country,” Tuberville said.

Besides adding tobacco-free pouches like Zyn to the state’s Tobacco Tax, Walz also attempted to further increase the 95 percent tax on vape devices in 2021, according to Americans for Tax Reform.

He also presided over a number of policies seemingly geared towards legalizing and decriminalizing illicit drug use.

Walz signed a bill in May 2023 legalizing the recreational use of cannabis in the state. The bill mandates a ten percent tax rate on the retail sales of cannabis.

A few days later he signed the House Omnibus Judiciary and Public Safety Finance appropriations bill, a bill that expanded access to “harm reduction” services and bolstered the state’s Syringe Services Program (SSP).

The program, funded through the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), provides sterile syringes and supplies, containers for safe disposal of used syringes and overdose drugs like Naloxone at no cost to users.

While removing all language criminalizing the possession of syringes, the bill also legalized the possession of all drug paraphernalia, even that which contained residue.

In May 2024, Walz announced his plans for grants providing $100 million for combatting homelessness. One recipient of the grant was Southside Harm Reduction Services, an organization whose services include “syringe exchange, naloxone distribution, education, rapid HIV testing and referrals to social services including housing,” according to the announcement.

Walz’s pro-drug policies follow a left-wing trend of decriminalizing and legalizing drugs at the state level that are federally illegal under The Controlled Substances Act.

After Oregon became the first state to decriminalize possession of all drugs in 2020, the state’s Democratic Governor Tina Kotek reversed course, signing a bill that re-criminalized the possession of hard drugs in April 2024.

Citizens who voted yes on the bill to decriminalize drugs quickly changed their mind. In 2020, 58.46 percent of voters supported Oregon’s Measure 110, a referendum bill which made the maximum penalty for possession of drugs for personal use $100. But in 2023, 56 percent of voters believed it should be repealed as the state’s largest city, Portland, saw a surge in overdoses. The number of people who died of overdoses jumped from 610 in 2019 to nearly 1200 in 2022, according to KOIN 6 News.

Drug overdose deaths across the country have risen at a prodigious rate, jumping from 52,404 in 2015 to 107,941 in 2022, according to data from the National Institute for Drug Abuse.

While some analysts argue the decriminalization of hard drugs like heroin can drive revenue that can be used for education and rehabilitation programs, others say the costs of decriminalization far outweigh the benefits.

Widespread availability of illicit drugs is “the mother of use,” former United States Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare Joseph A. Califano Jr. argued in a U.K. National Institute of Health head to head.

Califano referenced Switzerland’s “needle park,” a government initiative meant to restrict heroin users to a small area. The project “turned into a grotesque tourist attraction of 20,000 addicts and had to be closed before it infected the entire city of Zurich.”

He also noted that Italy, which decriminalized possession of small doses of drugs like heroin, has one of the highest rates of heroin addiction in Europe.

In addition to legalizing pot and making it easier for citizens to use needles, Walz green-lit a Psychedelic Medicine Task Force to study the effects of psilocybin mushrooms, MDMA and LSD.

“The task force is mandated to explore both the therapeutic benefits of psychedelics and the legal pathways by which Minnesota’s government can help patients successfully navigate the labyrinth of federal laws and regulations in order to get access to these potential medicines,” Kurtis Hanna, a drug law reform lobbyist, told Marijuana Moment.

The bill calls for $338,000 of appropriations in 2024 and another $171,000 to fund the task force in 2025. It calls for “statutory changes necessary for the legalization of psychedelic medicine” and “state and local regulation of psychedelic medicine.”

Walz signing the bill cleared the way for other leaders in his state to follow suit. In June 2023, Minneapolis’ Democratic mayor Jacob Frey ordered law enforcement to deprioritize the use of city resources to enforce laws that criminalize buying psychedelics.

Frey’s executive order stated “that the investigation and arrest of persons for planting, cultivating, purchasing, transporting, distributing, engaging in practices with, or possessing Entheogenic Plants or plant compounds which are on the federal Schedule 1 list shall be the lowest law enforcement priority for the City of Minneapolis.”

The psychedelics task force will deliver a final report to the state with findings and recommendations by January 1, 2025, according to the bill. Advocates believe that these steps are clearing a path for the legalization of all psychedelic substances in Minnesota.

“If—and hopefully when—I’m re-elected and this task force gives their final report..my hope is to bring that legislation in that session,” Democratic State Rep. Andy Smith told Marijuana Movement.

Johnson: Don’t Believe the Hype; Americans See Harris as the ‘Common Denominator’ for Their Problems

/in , , , , , , , , , , /by

The summer hasn’t been a relaxing one for House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.). With Republicans desperately fighting to keep and expand their majority, August has been less of a recess and more of a sprint. From the car, where he’s spent most of the month, the Louisianan said he’d been to 20 states this month alone campaigning with his party’s candidates. “And I tell you what,” he said, “I don’t really think this Democratic National Convention is going to have much of an impact at all on our chances of growing the House majority.”

The speaker’s optimism comes in part from the shockingly leftist platform draft released by Kamala Harris’s party. Clocking in at 80 pages, the Democrats’ document is five times longer than the “streamlined” GOP version and easily five times more radical. To Johnson, Harris’s party is finally “saying the quiet parts out loud.” In other words, Democrats are openly broadcasting the unpopular extremism that they’ve tried for so many years to hide. “I mean, if we compared the party platforms of the Republican and Democratic parties decades ago, 40 years ago,” he told Family Research President Tony Perkins on Saturday’s “This Week on the Hill,” maybe there wouldn’t have been that much difference. Both parties had the same ideals in mind. They wanted what was best for America. They wanted to preserve the Republic.”

Of course, the Democrats “generally wanted a lot more government involvement in our lives, and Republicans wanted less,” Johnson acknowledged, “but that was really the crux of the disagreement. Now, however, there is a wide chasm that’s developed between the two parties.” On the Republican side, he insisted, there are the “founding principles,” values like “individual freedom, limited government, the rule of law, peace through strength, fiscal responsibility, free markets, [and] human dignity. We believe all of us are made by our Creator and given our rights by him, and so every life has value. Those are principles that used to define all of us, all Americans. But now, if you talk about those founding principles in a room full of progressives, socialist Democrats, they snarl at you. They have disdain for those principles. They want to trade them in.”

This platform, the speaker believes, will reveal an agenda that is “directly the opposite” of what most Americans are fighting to defend and preserve.

Perkins, who made no secret of his frustration over the Republican Party Platform’s watered-down language as a delegate, pointed out that what Donald Trump’s camp decided to deemphasize is exactly what the Democratic Party is emphasizing. “I mean, they’re talking about abortion. They’re talking about the whole transgender push for children — all the things that really are on the minds of many Americans, especially conservative voters. Republicans are going to have to address those issues.”

His fellow Louisianan agreed, pointing to several conversations he’s had in towns across America where people are “very concerned” about transgenderism, for example. “It’s a top issue,” Johnson insisted. “They don’t want men competing in women’s sports. They don’t want as [Tim] Walz infamously did in his state, they don’t want tampons put in the boys’ bathrooms and all the rest. That really does resonate with people. All of these issues really are still very important.”

But as important as it is for Republicans to raise these issues, it’s just as crucial to understand how to talk about them. “We can be passionate,” the House leader said, “but at the same time respect people that we disagree with. … In fact, we’re supposed to have compassion for the people who don’t understand the truth. That’s kind of the whole principle of evangelism. And when you’re sharing the truth, the eternal truth, or the truth about these temporal policies, you’ve got to do it in the right way. We’re supposed to be winsome…”

Unfortunately, he conceded, “[W]e’ve devolved into this society [that’s] toxic. Politics is a blood sport right now. We are [on] the happy warrior side. Our principles are good. [They’re] for human flourishing, and we have to be able to present that in a way that’s compelling, so that people will listen and understand and come along to our way of thinking. … I call on our members, our colleagues, to go out there into the campaign trail and speak with clarity and consistency and with conviction, because we are fighting for the things that matter — that will preserve the republic and help individuals, families, and communities.”

And right now, the speaker told Perkins, what we see from the Democratic ticket is so completely outside the mainstream that it’s “working [to] our benefit.” Harris is, “quite literally, the most progressive left, the most liberal person to ever run for president [for] any major party. And she has chosen someone who matches her almost exactly. I mean, Tim Walz is a far-leftist. He’s on video in the last couple of years giving sanction to socialism. He thinks it’s a great idea. He says that we ought to have sanctuary cities and that illegal aliens ought to have driver’s licenses. … In his own words, [he] champion[s] radical abortion … with almost no limits at all. I mean, this guy does not line up with the values of the American people. … And I think what Kamala Harris did was cement her legacy as a far-left San Francisco radical.”

She can get away with that for a while, thanks to the loss of all journalistic integrity. As long as the press keeps covering for Harris, her polling honeymoon may continue. “They’re going to try to keep her quiet,” Johnson agreed. “They’re going to try to keep her in a basement. She’ll go to rallies, and she’ll speak from a teleprompter, but she won’t give any difficult interviews — if any at all. And I think if she goes off the teleprompter, they’ll be very nervous about it, because Kamala Harris has shown herself to be a failure in public policy and an empty suit in almost every regard.”

In the meantime, don’t believe all the hype, the speaker warned. As someone who’s crisscrossed the country in the last several weeks, he wants conservatives to know, “There is a real energy out there. It doesn’t always register accurately in the polls, but I’m telling you that people are very animated right now. They are fed up with the situation that they see in the country. They’re fed up with the cost of living. … They’re having a difficult time with the rising crime rates everywhere. And they’re so frustrated about the open border and all the problems that have come from that, and the weakness that we’re projecting on the world stage. They see the common denominator for all of those things as Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.” Americans, he added, “are ready for grown-ups to fix these problems.

Until then, his advice to Trump is something he hopes the former president already knows: “This election has to be about policies, not personalities. It has to be about the records of both candidates and not rhetoric. The great thing we have here is an actual comparison. We had a Trump administration. We’ve had a Biden-Harris administration. And there’s not a single American who can say they’re doing better now under this team than they were under the Trump administration. And so, I think that speaks for itself. I think it’s going to give us a remarkable November.”

The 6 Most Notable Moments from Day 1 of the DNC

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

The Democratic Party opened its 2024 national convention in Chicago’s United Center on Monday, adopting its platform, setting its agenda, and hearing the first day of speeches from Hillary Clinton, abortion activists, and President Joe Biden. The first day of the DNC featured a prayer without Christ, politicians citing Bible verses moments after promoting abortion-on-demand, and insisting pro-life protections violate “basic decency.”

Here are a few of the most memorable events of day one:

1. A “Christian” invocation without Jesus or a cross?

The Democratic National Convention began its first day in prayer — but not one that mentioned the Name of Jesus Christ or displayed the symbol associated with His death and resurrection. The invocation, offered by Roman Catholic Cardinal Blase J. Cupich of the Archdiocese of Chicago, exhorted the faithful “to root out ongoing injustices in our national life, especially those created by moral blindness and fear of the other” and to forge a “new chapter of our nation’s history.” Although Cupich did not mention Jesus, he did, however, quote Pope Francis.

“Hiding his pectoral cross, and never once [m]entioning the name of Jesus, Cdl. Blase Cupich gave the invocation at an event providing free abortions and vasectomies,” noted The Lepanto Institute, a conservative Catholic organization. Catholic Vote said simply, “The DNC is demonic.”

In April 2022, Cardinal Cupich was booed off the stage of the Chicago March for Life, where he said protecting the unborn is “not our only goal.”

2. Citing the Golden Rule, the death penalty, and love for children discussing abortion

While most of the speakers shied away from even uttering the word “abortion,” some invoked the gruesome procedure while invoking the Bible or claiming those who protect the unborn lack humanity. Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear (D), who made the shortlist for vice president after party leaders persuaded President Joe Biden to step down as his party’s presumptive nominee, referred to two passages of the Good Book while bashing former President Donald Trump and vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance over their openness to pro-life arguments.

“Trump says people are absolutely thrilled that women had their basic rights eliminated,” said Beshear. Trump and J.D. Vance’s “policies give rapists more rights than their victims,” he alleged, before turning to the Scriptures.

“My faith teaches me the Golden Rule: love your neighbor as yourself. The Parable of the Good Samaritan teaches us that we are all each other’s neighbors. We believe in an America that lives out these values. Let’s end anger politics and remember we are all Americans,” he said.

Those remarks contrast with his view of anyone who supports pro-life laws. Advocating for the right to life “fails any test of humanity, any test of basic decency, any test of whether you have any underlying empathy,” said Beshear (whose father, Steve, also served as Kentucky’s governor).

“Hey maybe the party that promotes abortion through all nine months until birth and all kinds of sexual degeneracy shouldn’t be quoting from the Bible that condemns both,” suggested Kristan Hawkins of Students for Life of America.

Another speaker also insisted supporting abortion proves one’s empathic nature. Kamala Harris “sees each person as just that: a person. … She sees the humanity in everyone.” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) in a vitriolic speech. “As women are dying, [President Trump] is bragging about overturning Roe. … Right now in Texas, they want to institute the death penalty — that is a problem — while Kamala Harris is fighting for our reproductive rights to be restored.”

Former Secretary of State and failed 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton took a similar rhetorical approach. “Kamala cares about kids and families,” Clinton insisted, while saying Harris would sign a bill nationalizing abortion-on-demand. “Women fighting for reproductive health care are saying, ‘Keep going,’” stated Clinton. “Yes, she will restore abortion rights nationwide!” Abortion activist Hadley Duvall, who spoke alongside Behsear, also stated, “Kamala Harris will sign a national law to restore the right to an abortion.”

New York Governor Kathy Hochul (D) declared, “Together, we must protect abortion rights!” She seemingly complained about the existence of President Donald Trump, saying New Yorkers are tired of him, as “we’ve had to deal with him for 78 long years.” Hochul’s remarks came 37 days after a gunman came within a fraction of an inch of killing the 45th president in cold blood.

Although abortion pervaded the proceedings, most speakers did not use the phrase at all, preferring the euphemism “reproductive rights” or “reproductive freedom” in its place. Beshear told delegates to “elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walz and protect reproductive freedom!”

“Reproductive rights” places the “right” to take an innocent life through abortion on the same constitutional level as the unalienable right to life protected in the 5th and 14th Amendments. The language shift away from naming the life-taking procedure to promoting a nebulous “freedom” mirrors the tactics of the abortion industry itself. The organization once known as the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL) recently rebranded itself as “Reproductive Freedom for All.” Harris, a longtime ally of the abortion industry who prosecuted investigative journalists David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt for exposing Planned Parenthood’s trafficking in aborted babies’ organs, has centered her campaign around “freedom” (and “joy”).

The rhetoric proved too much for many viewers. “The Democrats have become a singularly single issue party. It is all about murdering babies, and that is their definition of freedom,” observed David Limbaugh, a conservative commentator and author of numerous Christian books.

3. Planned Parenthood carries out 10 abortions and an unknown number of vasectomies during DNC

Planned Parenthood Great Rivers in St. Louis announced it would offer free abortions and vasectomies in a mobile truck not far from the Democratic National Convention. A local hot dog shop, The Wieners Circle, posted on the social media platform X that it would give anyone who had a vasectomy or abortion a coupon for a free hotdog.

“Planned Parenthood staff is saying that on the first day of the DNC, they did ten free abortions,” reported Lila Rose, founder of the pro-life organization Live Action, on Monday. “Ten helpless babies have been sacrificed so far at the DNC death cult. There are no words to express the sheer horror.”

In response, Democrats for Life held a pro-life event to give baby items to local mothers. “While Planned Parenthood is providing free abortions at the DNC, Democrats For Life is conducting a diaper drive to support local Chicago families,” said Kristen Day of Democrats for Life. She later noted the Democratic Party, which prides itself on its diversity and inclusion, “is inclusive only if you take an oath to Planned Parenthood’s pro-abortion agenda.”

4. Began with a ‘land acknowledgement’

As the party of Woke activists, the Democratic National Convention began with a land acknowledgement, a statement that all American territory once belonged to American Indian tribes. “Our country was built on indigenous homelands,” they stated, naming numerous areas tribes.

5. Trump would ‘weaponize’ the government?

In a curious about-face, Michigan State Senator Mallory McMorrow (D) warned, “Under Project 2025, Donald Trump would be able to weaponize the Department of Justice to go after his political opponents. He could even turn the FBI into his own personal police force.” Of course, House Republicans convened a formal investigation into the Biden-Harris administration’s multipronged attempt to weaponize government against its political foes, including instigating a now-tenuous special prosecutor case into the former president’s actions.

6. Joe Biden’s farewell speech

Joe Biden’s farewell speech to the 2024 DNC combined familiar themes from his previous speeches with the sound of Biden regularly shouting his words or rushing them together. He stumbled trying to say women were not without “electoral power” (saying, “Women are not without electrical” power) and appeared to lose his train of thought when discussing Medicare and Big Pharma.

Yet perhaps most concerning were his recycled tales about President Donald Trump, which fact-checkers have found to be inaccurate:

  • President Trump allegedly claimed there were “very fine people on both sides” of Charlottesville’s Unite the Right protest, Biden said, taking the Lord’s Name in vain afterwards. Yet Trump said moments later he is not talking about white supremacists and neo-Nazis, but instead about local citizens who wanted to preserve their history.
  • President Trump allegedly called Americans who died in uniform “suckers and losers,” although eyewitnesses of his trip to Europe insist the event did not occur.
  • That President Trump said, unless he is elected, America will experience a “bloodbath,” an economic term the 45th president applied to the automobile industry.
  • Biden also alleged, “We saved democracy in 2020, and now we just save it again in 2024.”

Biden concluded his speech after midnight. The second day commenced Tuesday morning.

Automakers Once Again in Meltdown Mode: GM announces layoffs of 1,000 tech workers

/in , , , , , , , , /by

Poised for another government-funded bailout because they followed government mandates and produced cars nobody wanted. 

GM announces layoffs of 1,000 tech workers who wasted time and money designing expensive EVs and self-driving autonomous vehicles that average American consumer can’t afford and doesn’t want.

General Motors is laying off more than 1,000 salaried tech employees in its software and services division in an effort to streamline the unit’s operations.

The layoffs include roughly 600 jobs at GM’s tech campus in Warren, Michigan, just outside of Detroit, CNBC is reporting.

The cuts come as automakers attempt to reduce costs during an industry downturn and as they’re spending billions of dollars on super-expensive all-electric vehicles and so-called software-defined vehicles. These include self-driving autonomous vehicles that are continuously gathering up and sending all your personal data to a central computer, then they sell it off to third parties. These cars will also include remote kill switches.

In other words, the auto industry is pouring all of its R&D money into vehicles that nobody in their right mind would want to own.

In fact, GM is being sued for illegally selling more than 1.8 million drivers’ personal driving data to insurance companies.

Only a digital slave to Klaus Schwab’s Fourth Industrial Revolution would want a car that spies on them, reports their driving habits to the insurance companies, and offers the government the opportunity to shut their car down.

It would be nice to see some new automobile manufacturers spring up to fill the niche of consumers who would like to remain free. Free of tracking, free of those nagging beeping reminders to put your seatbelt on, free of cameras checking your every move, and with no online connection to the socialist nanny state. The time for such a car company has arrived. Will anyone answer the bell? I hope so.

What about you? Would you buy a car that’s made in America, specifically for freedom-loving Americans, who want nothing more than to be left alone, free of the entangling web of Big Brother surveillance?

DNC Attendees Will Have Opportunities For Free Vasectomies, Abortions

/in , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Attendees at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago will have the opportunity to receive free vasectomies and abortions blocks away from the proceedings at the United Center.

Planned Parenthood Great Rivers, which operates in parts of Missouri and Illinois, will park its mobile health clinic near the DNC on Aug. 19 and Aug. 20, according to The New York Times. Medication abortions are reportedly available on both days, with vasectomies being exclusively offered Monday.

Appointments on the vasectomy vehicle are in high demand, with eager registrants forming a waitlist, according to the outlet. Those hoping to be sterilized must fill out a Google Form, providing their name, birthdate and contact information to secure their spot in line.

Appointments on the vasectomy vehicle are in high demand, with eager registrants forming a waitlist, according to the outlet. Those hoping to be sterilized must fill out a Google Form, providing their name, birthdate and contact information to secure their spot in line.

“Services will be provided on a sliding-fee scale — pay what you can and get the healthcare you need,” Planned Parenthood’s Google Form reads.

Persons seeking medication abortion can register online as well, but there is not yet a waitlist for either day, meaning they could also walk in without an appointment, according to the outlet.

Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive 2024 Democratic presidential nominee, has been an outspoken advocate for abortion following the U.S. Supreme Court’s June 24, 2024 overturning of Roe v. Wade.

As vice president, Harris kicked off a nationwide pro-abortion tour in Wisconsin on Jan. 22, 2024, the 51st anniversary of Roe v. Wade. She referenced abortion as one of America’s “fundamental freedoms,” according to a White House release announcing her “Fight for Reproductive Freedoms.”

Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, are expected to speak on abortion and IVF at the DNC.

Pro-abortion groups plan to demonstrate the night before the DNC. Abortion rights activists sued Chicago in May after the city announced permits to march outside the convention would not be issued, according to ABC7 Chicago.

Among the demonstrations will be a large “inflatable IUD,” a form of birth control activists will nickname “Freeda Womb,” The New York Times reported.

Meanwhile, more than a dozen local businesses in Chicago have barricaded their windows and doors with plywood in anticipation of destructive protests outside the DNC, according to WGN9.

The DNC is scheduled to start Monday and will end Thursday.
