Attendees at the Democratic National Convention interviewed by The Daily Wire were left tripping over their words when asked why they think Senator JD Vance (R-OH) is weird. Almost immediately after former President Donald Trump announced Vance would be his running mate, key Democratic leaders began to push the talking point that Vance is “weird,” including Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. But when asked the simple question of “why is JD Vance weird?” interviewees struggled to find an answer, or else pointed to a vulgar internet lie involving Vance and a couch that has been repeated by Walz. One older woman said the “Hillbilly Elegy” author is weird because he “doesn’t understand any common people.” “I don’t know what makes him weird,” another woman honestly said after taking a long pause to contemplate the question. Another man said he doesn’t like to use the term weird, while a third pointed to his belief that Vance wears eyeliner and is angry. “He’s like— he’s weird because he is a — he’s fake—I mean he,” one young man covered in pro-Harris buttons told The Daily Wire, stumbling over his words.  “He has to like to defend his wife’s integrity because his party is like full of white supremacists, that’s pretty weird,” the young man added. “Shouldn’t he be defending his wife? Isn’t that a good thing?” The Daily Wire asked. “It is a good thing,” the man responded. After a few more questions pushing him to find an answer, the man with the buttons landed on the fact that Vance is weird because the “MAGA Republican” he supports are weird. One keffiyeh-clad man failed to give a reason why Vance is weird, but said Trump is weird because he dictated “who is black and who is not black,” referring to Trump criticizing Harris for what he believes is only recently leaning into her African American heritage. When asked his thoughts on President Joe Biden once stating “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black,” the man said he did not recall it ever happening. A few interviewees said they believe it is weird that Vance disliked Trump during the 2016 election but now supports him. “Anyone that can change on a dime like a chameleon like that, that’s f’ing weird,” said a man sporting a shirt covered in pictures of Walz’s face. Vance responded to the coordinated smear campaign in a Fox News interview earlier this month, calling it “projection” from people who are weird themselves. “I think that it’s a lot of projection, frankly, Maria, from people who want to give transgender hormones to 9-year-old kids and want biological males to play in women’s sports,” Vance said. “Look, I’m a husband, I’m a father, I’m happily married, and I love my life, and I am doing this because I want to be a good public servant who fixes the problems of the Democrats.” He added that the “middle school taunts don’t bother” him.

Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL) gave CNN anchor Dana Bash no quarter when she attempted to lay the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan at form President Donald Trump’s feet: “It’s a bunch of B.S.” Bash argued that President Joe Biden was simply following through on a deal that Trump had put into place before he left the White House, but Waltz quickly pushed back, noting that the deal Trump made had been conditional and the Biden-Harris administration had pushed ahead even after the Taliban stood in violation of those conditions.

KAMALA AND BIDEN OWN THIS! pic.twitter.com/KZoHGuaavE — Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) August 23, 2024 “As you well know, the Trump administration negotiated the withdrawal agreement from Afghanistan with the Taliban and the State Department —” Bash began, but Waltz stopped her cold. “A conditional agreement, Dana,” he corrected. “A conditional agreement, and he left Bagram Air Base, he left 2,500 troops, his advisers came to him and said the Taliban haven’t lived up to it. And he said fine, the deal’s off.” “So how is it that the Democrats can back away from the Iran deal, from the border, from Keystone XL, can turn the page on literally dozens of Trump policies, but yet they’re gonna convince us that they were somehow handcuffed with a Doha agreement that Trump himself said the Taliban didn’t live up to — it’s a bunch of BS! And they know it. And to not acknowledge that is a slap in the face to the veterans and the Gold Star families,” Waltz continued. Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW!

President Joe Biden has repeatedly boasted about “ending the war” in Afghanistan despite receiving harsh criticisms from both sides over his administration’s chaotic execution of the troop withdrawal. His decision to pull troops from Afghanistan prior to assisting with evacuations forced military leaders to abandon Bagram Air Base and instead move all traffic through the major airport in Kabul — the airport where a terrorist attack then killed 13 American service members and injured hundreds. In addition to the human cost, the Biden-Harris administration also left behind billions of dollars in American supplies and equipment — some of which the Taliban recently flaunted in a parade celebrating the United States’ departure.

Before it became a content farm full of AI generated clickbait, Sports Illustrated was at one point a serious publication where major political figures discussed issues of national importance. That was the case in December of 1960, when Sports Illustrated featured an article from John F. Kennedy, who was the president-elect at the time. The article was entitled “The Soft American,” and it addressed the crisis in masculinity that America was experiencing in the postwar period, as men took office jobs and adjusted to suburban life. In the article, Kennedy called on men to maintain their physical and mental fitness because the strength of the country depended on it. As Kennedy put it, “The knowledge that the physical well-being of the citizen is an important foundation for the vigor and vitality of all the activities of the nation, is as old as Western civilization itself.” It was a sentiment you’re unlikely to hear from politicians these days, expressed with an eloquence and maturity of thought and speech that you’re even less likely to hear. But it was a theme that Kennedy hit often. It’s one of the reasons he was elected. For Democrats in the 1960s, masculinity was a virtue worthy of reinforcing and protecting as much as possible. Going “soft,” as Kennedy put it, was tempting. It was the natural way forward for a lot of people. But it would ultimately doom the country. This wasn’t a particularly controversial point back then, or at any other point in world history. But in the 1960s, Democrats were the political party that most successfully communicated that message to Americans. Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. Six decades later, amid another genuine masculinity crisis — as evidenced by plummeting sperm counts, a rash of men who say they’re really women, declining rates of marriage and so on — Democrats are taking a very different approach. They’ve realized that emasculated men are easier to control. Weaker men are much less likely to resist wealth confiscation, gun confiscation and other indignities.  And because the modern Democrat Party cares about control more than anything else, they’re not taking JFK’s approach. Instead, they’re doing everything they can to make the masculinity crisis even worse. Specifically, Democrats are now pushing a new plan to “revamp” and “update” the entire concept of masculinity for the modern age. This is being achieved through their two new mascots of modern masculinity — their geldings that they’ve been trotting around as a positive example for all men to follow — Tim Walz and Doug Emhoff. This new ideal man — personified by Emhoff and Walz — is a bumbling cornball. He’s an obedient lackey who does not challenge anyone or anything, least of all the woman who he happily subordinates himself to. It is certainly no coincidence that the Left’s paragons of masculinity are men who play second fiddle to women. This might sound like one of those forbidden “conspiracy theories” that’s definitely not happening. But pretty much the entire corporate media has admitted it’s happening. Here’s CNN for example, explaining that Democrats are intentionally trying to appeal to men who are not, “testosterone laden”: “They are doing so in trying to put forward male figures—Tim Walz being one of them, Doug Emhoff last night—who can speak to men out there who might not be the sort of testosterone-laden, gun-toting kind of guy." CNN is calling Walz and Emhoff girly men!pic.twitter.com/0lM751nDfX — Michael Knowles (@michaeljknowles) August 22, 2024 When CNN comes out and states that the Democrats’ vice presidential nominee and the vice president’s husband both have low testosterone — you know this is a message that the party pre-approved. At any other point in American history, this would’ve been seen as insulting and condescending, and rightfully so. But Democrats no longer believe it’s remotely insulting or condescending to publicly state, as explicitly as possible, that someone is an effeminate, low-testosterone wimp. That’s because they want to encourage that behavior as much as possible. That’s why CNN isn’t the only media outlet doing this. The New York Times, for example, recently reported from the DNC that Tim Walz’s prime-time debut, “offered football analogies and an alternative to Trumpian masculinity.” The paper stated that “Mr. Walz contributed an idea of masculinity that contrasted with Donald Trump’s performative, pro-wrestling-influenced machismo.” According to the Times, “Not all coaches are men, but there are few pop-culture archetypes more male-coded. There’s the coach as paternalistic strongman — the my-way-or-the-highway leader whom you obey or you’re off the team. There’s the coach as icon — the Vince Lombardis and Tom Landrys whom fans hold equal to political leaders, or greater. But there’s also the coach as nurturer, mentor, character builder, surrogate father. … Wednesday’s production cast the Democrats as the party of both football and Oprah, balancing the ticket with a little inspirational, male-weepie sports drama.” WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show Yes, they wrote that Tim Walz adds “male-weepie drama” to the ticket, and we’re supposed to think that’s somehow “inspirational.” In fact, we’re supposed to think that a weepy male is so inspirational that it makes Tim Walz the “surrogate father” of America. Who needs your own father when you have a phony, manipulative politician who’s willing to cry a little on stage as he lies about every possible detail in his biography? Why not have Tim Walz raise your children? That’s what they’re saying. (And by the way, Tim Walz signed a law allowing Minnesota to effectively raise your children if he or she identifies as “trans” and flees to the state. So this isn’t really even a rhetorical question.) The Independent ran a similar headline pushing Tim Walz as the symbol of masculinity, which is how you know this is all coordinated: “Tim Walz is clearly a midwest ‘man’s man’. But he’s the antidote to toxic Maga masculinity.” The Independent wrote, “The image of a high school football coach is often one of a whistle-clutching neanderthal. … Walz and the Harris campaign are making a point of highlighting the ways that the Minnesota governor has sought to break that cultural mold – like when the then-football coach took the initiative to sponsor a gay-straight alliance at the school where he worked.” Yes, because nothing says “masculinity” like a grown man who, for some reason, helped to organize a gay club at his school so that he could talk with children about their sexuality — all before he eventually put tampons in the men’s bathroom. That’s what masculinity means to Democrats in 2024. It means that you’re willing to advance Left-wing politics at every available opportunity. It has nothing to do with your character, or your physical attributes or any of that. As long as you’re a loyal servant of the party, that makes you “masculine.” For a white guy like Tim Walz, playing the role of a loyal foot soldier means that he has to be willing to be mocked, openly, for his skin color. So Tim Walz has happily played along with that. As I’ve discussed before, he appeared for this scripted moment with Kamala Harris, in which she mocks him for being white and he nods submissively. Watch: Listen, I’m just not much of a spice guy. pic.twitter.com/u9yadJBMh2 — Tim Walz (@Tim_Walz) August 15, 2024 At the Independent Women’s Forum, Inez Stepman summed up what we’re seeing here as well as anyone. She wrote: “The Tim Walz packaging is meant to present a ‘welcoming’ invitation to white men as part of the rainbow coalition: join the DNC, and become merely a joke, not a villain.” As Stepman put it, Walz is playing the “bumbling, useless, non-threatening white dad in your typical corporate commercial,” which is “the only non-oppressor role for white men available in that worldview. … Same reason it’s white *dudes* for Harris and not white *men* – the latter too dignified, too threatening, there must be an air of degradation and court jester to the thing.” This is what Democrats are now presenting as “what it means to be a man.” Here’s a top Democrat in the Michigan state senate to explain: Dems have the right message w/ @Tim_Walz on what it means to be a man: joyful, family-focused, fun AND a hunter, veteran, and coach working arm-in-arm with a competent woman. Not the toxic hyper-masculinity that denigrates women on display in the GOP. (shoutout @dudes4harris) pic.twitter.com/HNCbyjoUEc — Mallory McMorrow (@MalloryMcMorrow) August 9, 2024 No one on the Right, anywhere, has stated that being a man means you don’t care about your family. Nobody — at least no conservative — has ever suggested that real men don’t love their daughters. In fact we have always said exactly the opposite. We have always said that the first thing a real man does is protect and care for his family. That has been our message all along. It’s the Left that condemned such ideas as paternalistic and patriarchal. Also, needless to say, no one on the Right has stated that men can’t be happy, or that men can’t be veterans, or that men can’t “love football.” Nothing she’s saying there makes any sense; it’s a complete strawman. She’s lying because she wants viewers to go along with her framing, which is that Tim Walz is the definition of “what it means to be a man.” That is what the highest levels of the Democrat Party have told their lieutenants to push, so that’s what they’re doing. WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI But if you’re not buying the Tim Walz pitch, there’s always Doug Emhoff, who was just forced to admit (many years after the fact) that he cheated on his first wife by having an affair with the nanny. He also refused to say what happened to his child after he got the nanny pregnant — stating only that he went through “tough times,” because everything is always about him. This is apparently another paragon of masculinity, according to Politico. They reported: “Meet Doug Emhoff: Dad-in-Chief. The second gentleman’s words aimed to humanize Harris as not just a policymaker, but a successful woman who balances her career and family. … The White House might be getting a wife guy as the country’s first-ever ‘first gentleman.'” Yes, Doug Emhoff is a “Dad-in-chief.” He’s a real “wife guy,” for cheating on his wife and lying about it for years. Time Magazine agrees. They reported on what they called “The Doug Emhoff model of masculinity.” They wrote, after Emhoff’s speech at the DNC, that: “It was a relief to have an alternative model of manliness to admire and aspire to than the one often projected on the culture.” These media organizations, like the Democrat Party that controls them, know exactly what they’re doing here. They know that Doug Emhoff and Tim Walz are not presenting an “alternative model of manliness” at all. They are in fact projecting the exact opposite of “manliness” because they want to destroy the concept of manliness entirely. They are projecting cowardice and submissiveness because cowardly and submissive men are their core constituency. That’s why, in the span of just 60 years, the so-called “Soft American” has gone from the bane of Democrat Party, to their model for America.

The Arkansas Supreme Court rejected a last ditch effort from a leftist group seeking to get an abortion amendment added to the November ballot that would roll back pro-life protections. On Thursday, the court ruled 4-3 against a challenge from the pro-abortion Arkansans for Limited Government (AFLG) to Secretary of State John Thurston’s decision to reject their amendment liberalizing the state’s abortion laws from the ballot. Thurston rejected the ballot initiative last month, saying that the group failed to disclose who it had paid to gather 14,143 of the signatures it collected in support of ballot placement. “This court is being asked to order another constitutional officer, the Arkansas Secretary of State, to ignore a mandatory statutory provision that he has enforced,” the majority wrote. “That is not the proper role of the court.” “We find that the secretary correctly refused to count the signatures collected by paid canvassers because the sponsor failed to file the paid canvasser training certification,” the majority added. The ballot initiative would have added exceptions to existing Arkansas abortion law for rape, incest, and fetal anomaly, as well as instituting a right to an abortion up to 18 weeks after conception. At 18 weeks, an unborn baby’s digestive system begins working and they can hear sounds. Dissenting Justices Karen Baker and Courtney Rae Hudson claimed that Thurston had manufactured a reason to reject the proposed amendment. “This requirement was made up out of whole cloth,” they wrote. “Regnat Populus — The People Rule — is the motto of Arkansas. Today’s decision strips every Arkansan of this power.” Thurston said that his office was only following the law when it rejected the amendment. “During the electoral process, my staff maintained the highest professional standards and did not allow partisan politics or misinformation to deter them from their duty to comply with the law,” he said in a statement. “I am dedicated to my calling to serve Arkansans and will continue to do so.” Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. The court’s ruling was praised by GOP Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders. “Proud I helped build the first conservative Supreme Court majority in the history of Arkansas and today that court upheld the rule of law, and with it, the right to life,” she said in a post on X. Other red states like Florida and South Dakota will have abortion rights on the ballot in 2024, while abortion measures are pending in other conservative states like Missouri and Montana.

A federal judge ruled Thursday that several New York crisis pregnancy centers could continue to speak freely about the abortion pill reversal protocol as state Attorney General Letitia James cracks down on pregnancy centers in the state.  U.S. District Judge John Sinatra granted a preliminary injunction to the National Institute of Family and Life Advocates, Gianna’s House, and the Options Care Center against James, who has sued pro-life pregnancy centers across the state over their promotion of the abortion pill reversal protocol.  The protocol is a method backed by pro-life organizations where a woman can take a prescribed dose of bioidentical progesterone to potentially reverse the effects of mifepristone and save an unborn child if she changes her mind at the last minute about going through with the abortion. “The First Amendment protects Plaintiffs’ right to speak freely about [abortion pill reversal] protocol and, more specifically, to say that it is safe and effective for a pregnant woman to use in consultation with her doctor,” Sinatra wrote in his ruling. “Indeed, the ‘very purpose of the First Amendment is to foreclose public authority from assuming a guardianship of the public mind through regulating the press, speech, and religion.’” The pro-life groups, represented by Alliance Defending Freedom, announced a lawsuit against James in May after she launched lawsuits against 11 pregnancy centers accusing them of false advertising. “Women in New York have literally saved their babies from an in-progress chemical drug abortion because they had access to information through their local pregnancy centers about using safe and effective progesterone for abortion pill reversal,” said ADF lawyer Caleb Dalton. “But the attorney general tried to deny women the opportunity to even hear about this life-saving option.” Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. “Taking supplemental progesterone may give them a chance to save their baby’s life. Women should have the option to reconsider an abortion, and the pro-life pregnancy centers we represent in this case truthfully inform them about that choice,” he added. “The court was right to affirm the pregnancy centers’ freedom to tell interested women about this life-saving treatment option.” Pregnancy centers around the country have come under fire from Democratic lawmakers and pro-abortion activists after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. According to CatholicVote, there have been at least 93 attacks on pregnancy centers and pro-life groups since a copy of the decision to overturn Roe leaked.  Aid for Women, one such center based in Chicago, was vandalized after the closing of the Democratic National Convention on Thursday, according to photos posted by Mary FioRito.  The photos showed red painted plastered on the door and spray paint saying “Fake Clinic” and “the dead babies are in Gaza.”  For the past 25 years, it’s been my privilege to be a volunteer and board member at Aid for Women, a nonprofit that runs maternity homes and pregnancy services throughout Illinois. Last night, after the closing of the DNC, vandals attacked one of AFW’s Chicago locations. pic.twitter.com/yieCfi3XqE — Mary H. FioRito (@maryfiorito) August 23, 2024 The vandalism was quickly condemned by pro-life leaders.  “We are disheartened to see that just after a week of dark and shameless celebration of the tragedy of abortion at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, including offering free abortions via bus, a pregnancy care center nearby was violently attacked,” said March for Life President Jeanne Mancini.

Kamala Harris’s entire campaign comes down to one word: bulls***. It’s all just bulls***. That’s it. She has no policies. She apparently didn’t exist before Thursday night. It’s amazing. Someone struck the ground and up she popped from the ground in a haze of smoke. And there she was, fully formed, but without any positions. You see, she’s not been vice president of the United States. She’s not responsible for a single thing that has happened for the last three and a half years. In fact, the last three and a half years were a figment of everyone’s imagination. None of it ever happened. What Kamala is telling everyone is that the actual president of the United States right now is Donald Trump, and he must be ousted because he’s the incumbent. “We need a change,” she is insisting. And the way to change horses right now is to elect the exact same horse. That’s the way to do it. Remember, she wasn’t the most liberal senator in the United States. That never happened. That didn’t exist. None of it. Harris is here to “bring us forward.” Not backward. Up, not down. WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show Thursday night, Harris gave a speech that was just like Kodos from Treehouse of Horror on “The Simpsons.” Substitute quotations from a piratical alien who inhabited the body of Bill Clinton in “The Simpsons” in 1996, and it sounds exactly like Kamala Harris because we are now a country beyond parody.  Kodos stated, “My fellow Americans, as a young boy, I dreamed of being a baseball. But tonight, I say we must move forward, not backward; upward, not forward; and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom.”  That was Kamala Harris last night.  According to the media, it was unbelievable. They are Jeffrey Toobining themselves over the magic of a woman who is a terrible politician, who is pretty good at speaking off the teleprompter, but who says nothing. An example: David Rothkopf, who is allegedly a columnist for the Daily Beast (and should be ashamed of himself because any self-respecting human should not write words like these), wrote: They saved the best for last. In a week of speechmaking like none of us have seen in our lifetimes, with one barn-burning or heart-tugging or inspiring address after another electrifying the crowd at the Democratic National Convention, the biggest question confronting Kamala Harris before she took the stage for the final keynote of the event was “How can she top all that?” How do you top the fire of AOC? How do you top the resonance of Hillary Clinton? The eloquence of Pete Buttigieg? The loved-filled words of Doug Emhoff? The gut wrenching testimony of the women who had suffered due to Donald Trump’s assault on their fundamental rights and bodily autonomy? The compelling remarks of one Republican leader after another, from Olivia Troye to Adam Kinzinger, who said that this year they would be voting for Kamala not as Democrats but as patriots, to protect our democracy? … The trip to church on which Reverend Raphael Warnock and then Democratic Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries took the crowd? Oprah’s searing surprise address? The big names like Bill Clinton or Nancy Pelosi? The high wattage rising stars like Wes Moore and Gretchen Whitmer? The valedictory of Joe Biden? The completely expected but nonetheless surpassing mastery of Michelle and Barack Obama? The star-is-born-yet-again vibe of Tim Walz’s remarks elevated by the pictures of his loving family? The heartbreaking personal stories of gun violence victims? This goes on for paragraphs and paragraphs: Michelle Obama described it as “magic.” Everyone spoke of the joy that lifted everyone’s remarks even more effectively and consistently and higher than even the expertly crafted playlist that accompanied the ceremonial roll call vote on Tuesday night. All of it rose to a crescendo… [Editor’s Note: you don’t rise to a crescendo; a crescendo is the actual rise in volume of the sound itself.] …that itself was capping off the most remarkable month of spontaneous nationwide momentum-building in U.S. political history. Which meant that for the Vice President of the United States the pressure was on. Could she be worthy of the week of praise? Could she live up to the expectations of the crowd or the audiences watching at home? … she did just that. Even if she did not reach the highest highs of the Obamas’ remarks or the emotional depths plumbed by a simple cutaway from Tim Walz to his son Gus, she delivered not only the speech of her life on Thursday night, she delivered one that in substance, tone, and historical significance surpassed all those that came before her during this week that would have had Daniel Webster sitting up and taking notes. Just go smoke a cigarette. Calm down. Whew. That was the media’s response to Harris’ speech. But here’s the thing: There is nothing there. It’s all a lie. She’s the vice-president of the United States. Inflation has been at 40-year highs. We are in the midst of two major world conflagrations — one in the Middle East, one in Ukraine. Her administration has presided over both. She was the last person in the room when the United States decided, under Joe Biden, to pull out of Afghanistan and leave billions of dollars in U.S. military hardware there, to abandon thousands of U.S. allies to be murdered by the Taliban, to abandon 90 million Afghan women to be forced back into basements, and to get 13 American troops killed at Abbey Gate. She was the last person in the room. She owns this economy. She owns this foreign policy. She owns the social breakdown over which she has presided. But we’re supposed to pretend she is just brand spanking new, just fresh out of the package. It is ridiculous to take a woman who has been a senator from California and the vice president of the United States for the last three years and pretend she has had nothing to do with anything that is happening in the country right now. But nobody in the Democratic Party gives a damn because they like Biden’s policies. They don’t care about the fact she hasn’t defined herself. They love the fact she has not defined herself. That’s the feature, not the bug. Kamala Harris has nothing here. Nothing. She has nothing to do with what’s going on in the country. It’s vibes. It’s magic. Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. It’s supremely frustrating to be gaslit and told we are supposed to simply close our eyes and vote for a person based on vibes. That is not what politics is. Politics is about how people exercise power over your life. That’s what politics is. It is not about vibe checks. It is not about being “brat.” It is not about dancing with Ghost Beyonce, who didn’t show up last night. It’s not about any of those things. It is about what she is going to do with power. And we know exactly what she’s going to do with power. We also know exactly what Trump is going to do with power. And that is what’s insane. We know precisely how Trump will govern because he did it last time, and it was pretty damn good. We know precisely how Harris will govern because she’s there now. I know we’re supposed to pretend that’s not true, but it is. She’s the sitting vice president of the United States. You cannot have it both ways. She was shoehorned into the presidential nomination because she’s the vice president. You cannot then pretend she has no association with the Biden-Harris administration as if she’s a brand-new creation. It’s insulting to the American people. And it’s bulls***.

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. eviscerated the legacy media and Democrat Party in a scathing speech on Friday where he explained why he was suspending his campaign and endorsing Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. Kennedy made the remarks during a press conference in Phoenix, Arizona, where he explained how today’s modern Democrat Party is vastly different than the party he grew up with. “Back then, the Democrats were the champions of the Constitution, of civil rights,” he said. “The Democrats stood against authoritarianism, against censorship, against colonialism, imperialism, and unjust wars. We were the party of labor, of the working class. The Democrats were the party of government transparency and the champion of the environment.” He noted that the party has morphed into the party of “war, censorship, corruption, big pharma, big tech, big AG, and big money,” adding that he left the party “when it abandoned democracy by canceling the primary” to hide the cognitive decline of President Joe Biden. RFK said that the term “democracy” has “become little more than a slogan for” for the Democrat Party. “In the name of saving democracy, the Democratic Party set itself to dismantling it, lacking confidence in its candidate, that its candidate could win in a fair election at the voting booth, the DNC waged continual legal warfare against both President Trump and myself,” he said. “Each time that our volunteers turned in those towering boxes of signatures needed to get on the ballot, the DNC dragged us into court, state after state, attempting to erase their work and to subvert the will of the voters who had signed those petitions.” Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. “It deployed DNC-aligned judges to throw me and other candidates off the ballot and to throw President Trump in jail,” he continued. “It ran a sham primary that was rigged to prevent any serious challenge to President Biden. Then when a predictably bungled debate performance precipitated the palace coup against President Biden, the same shadowy DNC operatives appointed his successor, also without an election.” RFK noted that Harris was “so unpopular with voters that she dropped out in 2020 without winning a single delegate.” He said that his father and uncle would be appalled that Harris was given the nomination and has avoided all interviews and unscripted encounters with voters. “My father and my uncle were always conscious of America’s image abroad because of our nation’s role as the template for democracy, the role model for democratic processes, and the leader of the free world,” he said. “Instead of showing us her substance and character, the DNC and its media organs engineered a surge of popularity for Vice President Harris based upon nothing: no policies, no interviews, no debates, only smoke and mirrors and balloons in a highly produced Chicago circus.” RFK said that Democrats aren’t focused on telling voters about Harris’ policies because they are focused on casting hate onto Trump. “How did the Democratic Party choose a candidate that has never done an interview or debate during the entire election cycle?” he asked. “They did it by weaponizing the government agencies. They did it by abandoning democracy. They did it by suing the opposition and by disenfranchising American voters. What most alarms me isn’t how the Democratic Party conducts its internal affairs or runs its candidates. What alarms me is the resort to censorship and media control and the weaponization of the federal agencies.” “When a U.S. president colludes with or outright coerces media companies to censor political speech, it’s an attack on our most sacred right, of free expression, and that’s the very right upon which all of our other constitutional rights rest,” he continued. “President Biden mocked Vladimir Putin’s 88% landslide in the Russian elections, observing that Putin and his party controlled the Russian press and that Putin prevented serious opponents from appearing on the ballot; but here in America, the DNC also prevented opponents from appearing on the ballot, and our television networks expose themselves as Democratic Party organs.” RFK said that legacy media companies have effectively banned him from interviews during the election in what he said was a coordinated effort with the Democrat Party that included vile smears against him. He said that he decided to support Trump because they aligned on free speech, the war in Ukraine, and the war on children. He added that he was working to get his name removed from the ballot in 10 swing states where, if he remained on the ballot, he would be helping Democrat presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris.

A taxpayer-funded nonprofit organization in Oregon is sparking outrage with its latest initiative. The group, which operates under the auspices of a larger statewide program, is offering $30,000 in down payment assistance to prospective homebuyers—but with a catch. The grant is specifically earmarked for non-U.S. citizens, leaving many American taxpayers furious. The controversial program is run by the Portland-based organization, which is receiving taxpayer money to fund this initiative. The funds are intended to help individuals who are ineligible for federal homeownership programs, such as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients, refugees, and other non-citizens. According to the organization, this effort is designed to address the disparities in homeownership rates among marginalized communities in Oregon. TAXPAYER-Funded Group Offering $30,000 For Non-Citizen (ILLEGALS) Homebuyers In Oregonhttps://t.co/OZ8oPyzthT — Biff Smallberries (@B_Smallberries) August 23, 2024 Critics, however, argue that this program is a misuse of taxpayer dollars. They contend that it discriminates against American citizens who are struggling to afford homes, especially during a time of economic uncertainty. The program has quickly become a flashpoint in the ongoing debate over immigration and public policy, with opponents decrying what they see as preferential treatment for non-citizens. The organization defends its actions by pointing to the broader context of housing inequality. They argue that many non-citizens face unique barriers to homeownership, such as limited access to credit and lack of eligibility for federal programs like FHA loans. The group claims that the $30,000 grants are a necessary step to level the playing field and help these individuals achieve the American dream.

(@WBVT_98FM) August 23, 2024 Still, the backlash has been swift and intense. Critics, including several local and national conservative groups, are calling for an immediate halt to the program. They argue that taxpayer money should not be used to fund initiatives that exclude American citizens. Some have even suggested that the program may be illegal, citing potential violations of federal housing laws and the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution. Adding fuel to the fire, the program has also drawn the attention of several high-profile politicians. Republican lawmakers have voiced strong opposition, with some threatening to introduce legislation that would prohibit taxpayer funds from being used in this manner. They argue that the program is not only unfair but also unpatriotic, as it prioritizes non-citizens over U.S. citizens. Supporters of the program, however, are standing firm. They argue that helping non-citizens secure housing benefits the broader community by promoting diversity and inclusion. They also claim that the program will ultimately strengthen the local economy by increasing homeownership rates and stabilizing neighborhoods that have been historically underserved. The debate over this program comes at a time when housing affordability is a major issue across the country. In Oregon, home prices have soared in recent years, making it increasingly difficult for many residents to buy homes. This has only intensified the controversy surrounding the program, as critics argue that taxpayer money should be used to help struggling citizens rather than non-citizens.

In a significant legal development, a federal judge has ruled that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. can proceed with his lawsuit against the Biden administration, alleging that his First Amendment rights were violated through censorship. This decision comes shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to reinstate the Biden administration's proposed limits on communication between government officials and social media companies. Kennedy, a prominent Democratic candidate for president and vocal critic of vaccine mandates, claims that the Biden administration colluded with social media platforms to suppress his viewpoints, particularly those questioning the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines. The lawsuit, initially filed last year, accuses high-ranking officials, including President Joe Biden, of pressuring companies like Facebook and Twitter to censor content that contradicted the administration’s stance on the pandemic. RFK has been uninvited to debates and is being sued by the Democratic Party to keep him off the ballots.

The judge’s decision highlights the ongoing national debate over the balance between public health and free speech, particularly in the digital age, where misinformation can spread rapidly across social media platforms. Kennedy's legal team argues that the administration's actions amounted to an unconstitutional suppression of dissent, effectively turning social media companies into enforcers of government-approved narratives. The case is expected to explore the extent to which government officials can influence or direct private companies in their moderation of content, a question that has gained increased attention in recent years as social media's role in public discourse has expanded.

Administration officials have maintained that their communications with social media companies were aimed at protecting public health, not silencing legitimate debate. This case is just one of many legal challenges related to the intersection of government influence and social media content moderation. The lawsuit is part of a broader trend where individuals and organizations are questioning the role of big tech companies in controlling the flow of information. Critics of the administration's approach argue that the government has overstepped its bounds, infringing on free speech rights by coercing private companies to act as censors. Kennedy's lawsuit gained renewed attention following the Supreme Court's recent decision to reject the Biden administration's appeal to reinstate limits on government interactions with social media companies. The high court’s decision left in place an earlier injunction that restricts federal agencies from pressuring social media platforms to remove content, pending further review. The ruling is seen as a setback for the administration's efforts to combat misinformation, but a victory for advocates of free speech. This ongoing legal battle will likely have far-reaching implications for both the Biden administration and future government efforts to regulate speech on social media. It raises critical questions about the role of government in shaping online discourse and the protections afforded to free speech in the digital age.
