Democrats convened for night two of their convention in Chicago on Tuesday, featuring the Obama family, Sen. Bernie Sanders, second gentleman Doug Emhoff, and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker. Americans can hope to be enlightened by the theme of the night, “A Bold Vision for America’s Future,” as Democratic nominee Kamala Harris has said little about her policy platform. The Harris campaign website lacks a policy position section, and the vice president has declined interviews with the media. DNC night one included speeches from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and President Joe Biden.

Delegates from the Northern Mariana Islands said the climate is more important than partisan politics.  “The Earth is not red or blue,” the delegate said. “The Earth is sick and we must protect it.” "The Earth is not red or blue.

Tim Walz Can't Tell the Truth About ANYTHING

Kamala Harris Supports a 25% Wealth Tax on Unrealized Gains

While you’re probably not tuning in to watch the DNC, which is being hosted this week in Chicago, Illinois, Liz Wheeler is absolutely glued to her screen. “Maybe it's some kind of sadistic joy that I get from watching, you know, communists and perverts actually reveal their true colors to the world,” she laughs, adding that she thinks watching the convention can be “helpful for the Republican cause.” On this episode of “The Liz Wheeler Show,” Liz lists out the seven craziest things she’s seen so far at the DNC. - YouTube www.youtube.com “This stuff is so nutty, it shows the character of the Democrats who want to rule our country and control our lives,” she says. 1. Free abortions “The Democrats are having an abortion bus outside of the DNC. It's a Planned Parenthood mobile abortion clinic that is offering free abortions and free vasectomies to the attendees at the DNC.” “They’re actually driving around seeking babies to kill,” says Liz in disgust. 2. Jeffrey Marsh invitation Nonbinary social media mega influencer Jeffrey Marsh has been invited to attend the convention. “The reason that [Marsh] is famous on TikTok is because he recruits children to run away from their parents,” says Liz. “He recruits children in the name of the LGBTQ ideology to cut contact with their parents and instead send him personal messages on his Patreon account.” “He’s the definition of a groomer; he takes a child or a young person and tries to manipulate them emotionally,” and yet “the DNC invited him as a special guest.” 3. Chicago businesses closing up shop Chicago business owners are boarding up their businesses because they’re afraid that what happened to cities during the BLM riots will happen in Chicago as a result of the DNC being hosted there. Over 100,000 anti-Israel protesters are expected to show up outside the DNC this week and wreak who knows what kind of havoc. “I kind of get a chill when I see these protesters,” says Liz, “because it doesn't just look like silly, entitled college kids or, you know, stupid, well-off elitists who have bought into communism because they have such a cushy lifestyle. “This looks like a foreign army to me,” she says of the masses gathering in Chicago. “They hold an anti-American, anti-Western civilization, anti-Christian ideology, anti-Semitic ideology, and they're trying to impose that on our political system, and our political system isn't just a nebulous concept; a political system means you and me and our families and our institutions and our communities and our children,” she warns. 4. Wall erected in the name of protection In a twist of irony, the DNC is building a security wall around the perimeter of the convention in response to the masses of protesters. “We have a scenario where the left has told us that we are racist, Islamophobic, xenophobic, hateful, anti-immigrant — all these kind of terrible names that they call us that aren't true because we support a wall along our southern border to keep our country safe,” says Liz, “and yet they're building a wall around their own event to keep it safe from outside forces that want to cause them harm.” 5. Clean up the streets “The mayor of Chicago is trying to clear migrants away from the DNC area.” “This reminds me of when Gavin Newsom cleared all the homeless camps from San Francisco when Xi Jinping, the communist dictator of China, came to town ... That's the vibes that this gives in Chicago right now,” says Liz. 6. Bribing influencers for marketing Apparently, “Kamala Harris is paying influencers to come to the DNC if they post about it,” says Liz, adding that the payment is rumored to be “up to $20,000.” “Harris doesn't think that she's going to get organic enough support; she wants to pay influencers,” she continues. “Kamala Harris, like Barack Obama before her, does understand that those influencers make a difference in young people's decision to vote and their decision who to vote for, so I'm not dismissing it as a strategy, but I do think that we should make fun of the influencers because they're selling their soul.” 7. Typos galore Someone needs to get fired because “the DNC platform for Kamala Harris’ campaign for president talks about Biden’s second term a dozen times.” Did someone forget to update it? Or, according to Liz, perhaps the outdated text reveals something else: “They’re not just sloppy; they’re not just stupid. Neither Joe Biden nor Kamala Harris are controlling their own agenda in the White House,” she says. To hear more of Liz’s commentary on the DNC, watch the episode above.

Two Virginia children were disappointed when a man grabbed the money from their lemonade stand and ran off with it, but the community has responded to make sure the little entrepreneurs didn't give up. 10-year-old Rebecca Caldwell and her younger brother Josh Caldwell told WAVY-TV they were trying to raise money in hopes of buying a dirt bike for him and a four-wheeler for her. 'We want him to become a Christian and have a good life.'Instead, surveillance video captured the man drive up the stand, get out of his car, and grab their money before running off. Police said the incident unfolded on Wednesday at about noon at the kid's home on Bells Mill Road. “We already got $40. It seemed pretty good, and then the guy came,” Rebecca said. “He acted really nice. He was just saying, like, ‘Nice, y’all are doing a lemonade stand.’ And then he was getting pretty close, but my back was turned so I didn’t really realize.” The video shows the kids run inside to tell their mother. Police said they were looking for a white man in his 30s with a goatee and tattoos. The video showed him driving a silver Toyota four-door sedan.Their father said the worst part of the incident was the loss of innocence. “I don’t think it’s really even about the money,” Ryan said. “They just like doing it and being out here and seeing people. We don’t want that stolen away from them, you know, we want the fun, the innocence, to remain. So that’s probably the worst part — the stolen innocence involved.”WAVY reported that viewers donated money to the children's cause, but Rebecca hopes the thief turns his life around. “We want him to become a Christian and have a good life, but we would say not go to jail, more community service, stuff like that,” she said. WAVY posted a video with interviews with the children on YouTube. Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

The Washington Post covered the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee last month with a story full of contempt for the rich. It vilified the corporate bigwigs flocking to town to rub shoulders with Donald Trump.Twenty years ago, Wall Street and big business may have been in the pocket of the Republicans, but that’s no longer the case. All the large corporations belong to the World Economic Forum and the global public-private partnership that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have been pushing.You will own nothing and be happy. You will raise no one and be happy.During the Republican gathering, the Post described oil and gas executives, crypto packers, and powerful Republican politicians engaging in hushed conversations in luxury suites about prospective tax breaks. The piece claimed Donald Trump would only serve America’s wealthiest. It painted a picture of greedy, evil businessmen making deals in dimly lit rooms. After all, as the Post likes to remind us, “democracy dies in darkness.”Even if the Post’s portrayal of the Republican convention’s attendees was entirely accurate, I would still prefer rich CEOs over the groups invading the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this week. Unsurprisingly, the Post and others have failed to scrutinize them with the same intensity.According to the Capitol Research Center, 279 extremist groups were on the streets of Chicago as a part of a coalition to march on the convention Monday. Of that number, 147 have expressed support for or have ties to terrorist groups, such as Hamas, or terrorist attacks, including deadly attacks on Israel in October. The Hamas-allied and Iran-backed Marxist-Leninist group called the Popular Front for Liberation of Palestine is also on the ground, openly planning to replicate the violent 1968 Democratic National Convention.Is anyone on the left going to cover these people?Abortion, anti-family, anti-lifeIt's very hard to make Planned Parenthood look good, but these groups are giving them a run for their money. One is calling for Jewish blood, and the other is calling for baby blood. This is a blood death cult. Planned Parenthood was parked outside the convention with vans, offering free vasectomies and abortions for those who are lucky enough to sign up before all the spots were filled.Conservative media reacted to the news with shock and disgust. Libs of TikTok called Planned Parenthood’s efforts “demonic.” It is. The pro-life group Students for Life says this proves the far left is “the party of death.” That is true. But free abortions really shouldn’t be all that shocking. After all, pro-abortion groups like Aid Access, run by a team of European doctors, have been mailing abortion pills to women in all 50 states for as low as $100 for years.Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic Party’s vice presidential candidate, signed a bill into law last year that removed the requirement for doctors to use all reasonable measures to preserve the life and health of a baby who survives an abortion attempt. He signed a bill enabling doctors to let babies die in the hospital room after they’ve been born. Moreover, the nominee for the president, Kamala Harris, made what I think is a slip of the tongue when she said: “When we invest in clean energy and electric vehicles and reduced population, more of our children can breathe clean air and drink clean water.”Maybe it was a mistake for the prompter, but maybe she accidentally said the quiet part out loud. I’m sure the prompter said, “reduce pollution.” But I'm also sure reducing the population is a part of the deal. Bill Gates and other WEF pundits have been promoting population control for decades, a remnant of eugenics that is being ushered into the 21st-century Democratic platform. This is a death cult. Return of the DINKsThe left has revealed it’s no longer just the party of killing babies. It's also the party of eliminating the possibility of having them at all. JD Vance received immense backlash from the left, recently calling out the “childless cat ladies” running the Democratic Party. He’s right. Democratic voters are more likely to not have children by choice. They aren’t childless due to medical reasons or the inability to conceive, but by choice, more than their Republican counterparts.There was a University of Chicago poll that was conducted in 2022 that found 38% of Democrats had no children compared to 26% of those on the right. Like Planned Parenthood’s free abortions, it shouldn’t be surprising. This has been an ongoing movement pushed by the left for decades.William A. Burly argued in a New York Times op-ed in 1990 that having “fewer children mean[s] a better life and a healthier environment.” He went on to say, “This truth should be taught to our kids," which, unfortunately, he was in the perfect position to do as the principal of an elementary school in New Milford, Connecticut, teaching yesterday’s Millennials, who are now reproducing today at staggeringly low levels. It’s no wonder since they were taught that having kids is a death sentence for personal freedom.Thirty-four years after Burly’s op-ed appeared, Timothy Carney in the Washington Examiner wrote that New Milford has suffered such a decline in birthrate that it closed its community birthing center. Student population at the high school dropped so much that the JV and varsity football teams had to combine. This is happening all throughout the country. Why fight the fight when you can just eliminate the children? In 2023, the term “DINK” resurfaced on TikTok after a long hibernation from the late 1980s. It stands for “dual income, no kids.” DINK videos of child-free couples bragging about the ample time and money they have to travel and eat at nice restaurants surpassed 33 million views last year. Social media’s glamorization of refusing to “reproduce” may push thousands of potential parents, who are grappling with the decision of whether to go “child-free,” over the edge. How different would fertility rates look today if TikTok videos romanticized parenthood instead?Surely, a political party starving for power and control would realize that it needs a future populace to carry the torch, but it's aborting its own future voters. That party also stands directly alongside globalists who want “freedom thinkers” to have as little power as possible.But having kids gives you just that. Having kids makes you a free thinker because it gives you something to live for beyond yourself. It requires you to reflect on the future and the kind of country you want for your kids. It forces you to reflect on what citizenship means and how to teach that to the next generation. It gives you a reason to fight. It gives you the kind of autonomous power that globalist governments do not want citizens to have in any shape or form. Whether it’s financial freedom in owning a home or the intellectual freedom in knowing that my kid is mine, you can’t force me to teach them the dark principles and beliefs of the far left.Ultimately, the far left knows that the much bigger and tougher battle is indoctrinating the sacred home where parents have complete control over the lessons and the principles that they choose to shape their kids.So why fight the fight when you can just eliminate the children? You will own nothing and be happy. You will raise no one and be happy — like the DINK couple. You’ll have extra money to spend on gifts and lavish trips around the world, the freedom to stay up late, the freedom to live for “yourself.”Will Trump hatred win?But like so much of what the far left believes, the opposite is true. I don’t know what will convince people of the lies that they’re buying into. The first night of the Democratic National Convention was filled with stunning, provable lies. Democrats are counting on their voters to be stupid, and they’ve laid the groundwork to deceive the rest. They need you to hate Donald Trump more than you worry about your personal finances. They need you to hate Donald Trump more than their open borders. They need you to hate Donald Trump more than fentanyl and drugs on our streets and our children being killed by illegal aliens. They need you to hate Donald Trump more than exploiting your taxpayer dollars to house illegal immigrants in hotel rooms while veterans are on the streets. They need you to hate Donald Trump more than you notice the people who are strung out on drugs in our cities and suburbs. They need you to hate Donald Trump more than communism or the possibility of nuclear war. They need you to hate Donald Trump more than their cult of death.When we get into the voting booth, do Americans actually hate Donald Trump more than what’s in their own best interest? Will you buy what they’re selling?Want more from Glenn Beck? Get Glenn's FREE email newsletter with his latest insights, top stories, show prep and more delivered to your inbox.
