CNN Republican commentator Scott Jennings panned the third night of the Democratic National Convention (DNC), saying during a panel discussion that over the course of five hours, none of the speakers had actually said anything of substance. Jennings delivered his assessment of the evening during a roundtable discussion hosted by CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, and he argued that despite a slate of speakers including Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Oprah Winfrey — and the evening ending with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz accepting the Democratic Party’s vice presidential nomination — nothing of any real value was said.

My reaction to night 3 of the DNC on @cnn pic.twitter.com/C8Zt7Iq0ZG — Scott Jennings (@ScottJenningsKY) August 22, 2024 “Nobody tonight said anything. Nobody tonight said a damn thing,” Jennings began, prompting a laugh from fellow panelist Van Jones. “They want you to vote for a ticket based on absolutely no concrete idea about what they would do once they get in office.” “You said [Walz] got more progressive when he got elected governor,” Jennings continued. “So you’re saying every time he gets another office he gets more and more progressive. I think that’s exactly what would happen.” Jennings went on to mock the Democratic Party’s focus on “joy” with very little underlying substance, saying, “Tonight you did hear people say, ‘Well, we may not agree with him on everything, but at least it will be joyful’ … as they tax us into oblivion.” WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI The Republican commentator ended with a jab at former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s awkward push for the passage of the Affordable Care Act, when she claimed that Congress first had to pass the bill before the American people could see what was in it. “I think the idea that you could run an entire presidential campaign based on the idea of ‘vote for me to find out what’s in it’ ought to terrify every American,” Jennings said.

Michigan Technological University has rebranded its diversity office, the latest in a trend of schools renaming their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). The school’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion will now be known as “Engagement and Belonging,” the school announced on its website. The change was made official on August 1.

The office’s services, functions, and staff will remain the same, the school said. “Engagement and Belonging is excited for this next chapter and looks forward to collaborating with students, faculty, staff, alumni, and external partners to further strengthen a sense of belonging for everyone at Michigan Tech,” the school said. Michigan Tech did not respond to a request for comment. The Upper Peninsula school is far from the first to make such a change amid controversy around DEI and its effects on higher education. Last summer, the University of South Carolina reorganized and renamed its DEI office to the Division of Access, Civil Rights and Community Engagement. In December, Clemson University, also in South Carolina, renamed its DEI office the Division of Community Engagement, Belonging and Access. In Texas, a new law prohibiting higher education institutions from having diversity offices prompted some Texas schools to give their DEI offices new names involving words like “belonging,” “community engagement,” and “student development.” However, the Republican Texas lawmaker who sponsored the DEI law pushed back. State Senator Brandon Creighton wrote letters to Texas’ public university systems warning that simply renaming their diversity offices does not comply with the law. “While I am encouraged with the progress I have seen from many institutions of higher education in implementing SB 17, I am deeply concerned with the possibility that many institutions may choose to merely rename their offices or employee titles,” Creighton wrote. WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI “This letter should serve as notice that this practice is unacceptable,” he said. Numerous states have introduced legislation to ban or crack down on DEI programs and practices over the last several years. Florida’s education board banned public colleges from using state or federal funds on DEI initiatives. Utah prohibited diversity programs such as DEI statements in higher education, public schools, and government employment. The state also banned the words “diversity, equity and inclusion” from being in a public office’s name. In Arizona, where a bill to ban DEI practices passed, Republican state Senator Anthony Kern said, “We don’t want public money going to political activism; promoting DEI.”

Recording artist Pink, an avid abortion advocate, is reportedly set to perform at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Thursday night. Per the Chicago NBC affiliate, Pink is scheduled just before Vice President Kamala Harris takes the stage to accept her party’s nomination. Wednesday night included performances by Stevie Wonder, John Legend with Sheila E., and country singer Maren Morris. Rapper Lil Jon made an appearance Tuesday to perform “Turn Down for What” and a politics-themed remix of “Get Low.” Other famous performers included Jason Isbell, Patti LaBelle, Mickey Guyton, and Common with Jonathan McReynolds.

Pink, whose real name is Alecia Moore, has been an outspoken supporter of the Democratic Party and specifically of abortion access for years. She reacted strongly to the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022 by telling fans they should stop listening to her music if they were pro-life. “Let’s be clear: if you believe the government belongs in a woman’s uterus, a gay persons (sic) business or marriage, or that racism is okay- THEN PLEASE IN THE NAME OF YOUR LORD NEVER F***ING LISTEN TO MY MUSIC AGAIN. AND ALSO F*** RIGHT OFF. We good?” she tweeted at the time, as The Daily Wire previously reported.  After receiving backlash online, Pink followed up. “I think all of our nerves are collectively fried from so many years of racism, misogyny, homophobia, etc. +pandemics, mass shootings, wars and the total lunacy, hypocrisy, ignorance of the GOP-it’s all a bit much. But we will stick together. Good will prevail over evil,” the three-time Grammy Award winner wrote.  WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI She added, “And to all of you sad, old white men asking me if I still make music. I realize you’re out of touch- so ask your kids…. Oh wait- you can’t. They hate you.” This year’s Democratic convention has been focused on the topic of abortion. Planned Parenthood set up a mobile vasectomy and abortion clinic down the street from the event and announced it had successfully performed ten abortions there on the first day.  Oprah Winfrey also used the convention to shill for abortion. She said during her DNC speech on Wednesday that “there is no American Dream” without “control” over “when and how you choose to bring your children into this world.”
