The Democratic National Convention opens in Chicago on Monday, giving Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz an opportunity to present their vision for America. But don’t be fooled by the Democrats’ glitzy gala, says John Tillman, CEO of the American Culture Project and chairman of the Illinois Policy Institute. He offered a preview of what to expect on “The Daily Signal Podcast.” “We’re going to see one of the greatest propaganda extravaganzas in the history of politics. It will make Hollywood look like amateurs in comparison,” Tillman tells The Daily Signal. “We’ve already had a preview of this propaganda effort by the Harris campaign since she became the nominee,” he added. “And what they’re going to try to paper over in Chicago is the policy results from radical, liberal, progressive Democrats who really want to take the country in perhaps even a communist or Marxist direction.” From his vantage point in Illinois, Tillman has had an up-close view of the destructive policies pursued by the city’s progressive Democrats—led by Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson—and the devastating consequences that have resulted for residents who live there. “A city government—and even a state government or a federal government—has to do three things,” Tillman explains. “It has to provide security, has to give educational opportunities to children, and has to provide economic opportunity for all people. The city of Chicago is failing in all three of those, and that’s what’s coming to America should they get control of our federal government. Ever the optimist, however, Tillman believes the tide is turning and shares some examples to prove his point. Listen to our interview to learn more. And keep tabs on The Daily Signal’s coverage of the convention this week. My colleagues Tim Kennedy and Tony Kinnett are in Chicago to report what’s happening on the ground, and the rest of our team will closely follow the week’s events.

Munchkin aka SukiTheOddCatSanctuaryA tiny kitten named Munchkin arrived at the Odd Cat Sanctuary from a local animal shelter, hoping for a better life.Found alone outside and starved of love, Munchkin craved comfort and company.
