I have been saying for months that the Democratic National Convention would be indistinguishable from a national abortion convention. The abortion van providing free chemical abortion pills just outside the convention proved me right. But the van was no departure; it was true to style, both for the Democrat Party and for Planned Parenthood. That’s why Planned Parenthood CEO Alexis McGill Johnson was on the agenda on the third night, joining the chorus of those attempting to deceive the American public about how harmful Republican and Trump-led “abortion bans” have been. Three women spoke from the convention stage on the opening night. I do not dismiss their tragic circumstances or deny that they deserve our compassionate help. In fact, I work to help such women every day all across the country. But I do object to the way the Democrat Party tries to twist these narratives to draw totally unwarranted conclusions. SAUL LOEB/AFP via Getty Images Amanda Zurawski spoke about nearly dying from pre-term labor, and the Texas ban on abortion. The fact is, however, that after the Texas Supreme Court considered her case, the Court made it clear that the Texas ban on abortion permits abortion to save a mother’s life and health. In the words of the Court: A physician who tells a patient, “Your life is threatened by a complication that has arisen during your pregnancy, and you may die, or there is a serious risk you will suffer substantial physical impairment unless an abortion is performed,” and in the same breath states “but the law won’t allow me to provide an abortion in these circumstances” is simply wrong in that legal assessment. If there is a dispute here for Zurawski, it is with her doctor, who under Texas law only needs to exercise reasonable medical judgment that the mother needs the abortion. There is no need to go to court, to blame the law, or to make a political case out of a personal tragedy. Then Kaitlyn Joshua spoke, ostensibly to expose the horrific evil of Louisiana’s abortion ban that allegedly threatened her life as she was miscarrying. Again, the Louisiana law about abortion specifically allows abortion to treat miscarriage. The duty, again, is on the doctor to provide the diagnosis. Finally, Hadley Duvall, who became famous in Kentucky for her political ads for Democrat Gov. Andy Beshear, spoke of how her stepfather raped her and although she had a miscarriage, she has become a spokeswoman for legal abortion. Hadley’s story – and again, I do not deny its tragic circumstances — assumes that permitting an abortion to a rape victim helps the rape victim, completely ignoring the experiences of countless women that abortion itself is a trauma. The last thing someone traumatized by rape needs is another trauma. I serve as the pastoral director of the world’s largest organization for healing after abortion. My team and I help women who have been traumatized by abortion. Hadley raises her voice, but so does Serena Dyksen, who was sexually assaulted at 13 years old, and testifies publicly that “the abortion was worse than the rape.” Sarahi testifies to the same thing, as does Aryn Sylvester. And we can go on and on.  For every story the Democrats want to highlight in their convention and in their ads, we can bring forth a hundred others talking about how harmful abortion is. If you care about women’s health, you should be paying attention to what abortion does to women’s health, not simply preaching a dogma that abortion is, by definition, healthcare and freedom. There’s another dimension to the Democrat dishonesty on display this week.  By bringing to the stage women who experienced health complications and sexual assault, do they want us to believe that they are OK with just allowing abortion in those circumstances? No, the Democrat Party opposes with all its might any law that would prohibit purely elective abortion. If they want to showcase their true policy goals, bring forward the abortionists who are paid to kill healthy babies of healthy mothers in the final months of pregnancy, or the woman I ministered to who had 26 abortions. The Democrat Party criticizes the laws in Texas and Louisiana, but doesn’t once mention that those laws also allocate substantial funds to help moms who want to have their babies, including in cases of adverse fetal conditions. The Democratic Convention is an abortion convention, because the Democrat Party is an abortion party – and a dishonest one. If they are so proud of abortion, why not show on those big convention screens how the procedure is done? Or how about just reading a description from the medical textbooks, in which you’ll find the words “dismember” and “decapitate?” Or how about just being honest enough to admit that the reason abortion is a deeply contentious issue is that two lives are involved? Even the Supreme Court has admitted this over the years, which is why it did not put abortion in the category of a “fundamental right.”  But for the Democrat Party, it’s just one-sided. It’s a woman’s reproductive freedom that matters. No need to consider the rights of the baby.  It’s easy to win a debate by just eliminating one whole side of the argument. That’s not a debate at all; it’s self-serving propaganda, and in this case, propaganda that has flesh and blood victims. * * * Frank Pavone is also president of the National Pro-life Religious Council and national pastoral Director, Rachel’s Vineyard and Silent No More.

Democrat-turned-independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. endorsed Republican nominee Donald Trump on Friday, a major development that could shift momentum in the increasingly tight fight for the White House. During a speech in Phoenix, Kennedy said he was “suspending” his campaign and seeking to remove his name from the ballot in battleground states while keeping his name on the ballot in “blue” and “red” states. “My name will remain on the ballot in most states. If you live in a blue state, you can vote for me without harming our helping President Trump or Vice President Harris,” he said. “In Red states, the same will apply. … But in about 10 battleground states, where my presence would be a spoiler, I’m going to remove my name, and I’ve already started that process and urge voters not to vote for me.” “Now, [I am throwing] my support to President Trump.” #BREAKING: Robert F. Kennedy endorses Donald Trump, “suspends” his campaign, is removing his name from the swing states but remaining in “red” or “blue” states “Now, [I am throwing] my support to President Trump.” pic.twitter.com/Ez8MAuXnkD — Florida’s Voice (@FLVoiceNews) August 23, 2024 Kennedy endorsed Trump shortly before the Republican nominee is set to give a speech just miles away in Glendale, Arizona. The Trump campaign announced on Thursday that the former president will be joined by a “special guest” at his rally on Friday. The independent candidate filed paperwork to withdraw his name from the Arizona ballot on Thursday. His campaign also requested to be removed from the ballot in Pennsylvania, another key swing state, on Friday. Kennedy slammed the Democratic Party, saying he believes he would’ve won the Democratic primary and the election “in an honest system.” He added that he is “alarmed” by the Democrats’ censorship, accusing the party of “preventing” him from gaining ballot access. “In the name of saving democracy, the Democratic Party set itself to dismantling it,” Kennedy said. RFK Jr. absolutely SHREDS the Democratic Party for “abandoning democracy.” “It had become the party of war, censorship, corruption…” pic.twitter.com/hEXzre14T5 — Townhall.com (@townhallcom) August 23, 2024 Kennedy’s endorsement of Trump came after the independent candidate’s running mate Nicole Shanahan said earlier this week that their campaign was trying to decide between staying in the race, which would potentially help Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, or “join[ing] forces with Donald Trump.” Kennedy suffered a recent drop in the polls, dipping to 5% nationally, after spending much of the past year hovering around 10%, according to the RealClearPolitics average. The endorsement could shake up the race in multiple ways. Trump has performed better against Harris in polls that don’t include Kennedy, and Kennedy’s supporters will likely be much more open to backing Trump in the 2024 race. Trump also said he would consider tapping Kennedy for a role in his administration. As reports earlier this week indicated Kennedy would be backing Trump, the former president said he “would be honored” by Kennedy’s endorsement. Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. “So I’ve known him for a long time. As you know, he is a little different kind of a guy. Very smart guy and a very good person. If he endorsed me, I would be honored by it,” Trump said. “He really has his heart in the right place. He is a respected person. Women love some of his policies and I guess some people don’t like some of his policies.” Trump added that he believes Democrats forced Kennedy out of the party’s primary because “there was a good chance” that he would have beaten President Joe Biden in the primary. Earlier this year, Trump ripped Kennedy as a “Democrat plant,” arguing the independent candidate is “totally Anti-Gun, an Extreme Environmentalist who makes the Green New Scammers look Conservative, a Big Time Taxer and Open Border Advocate, and Anti-Military/Vet[.]” Kennedy responded to Trump’s attack, calling it “a barely coherent barrage of wild and inaccurate claims that should best be resolved in the American tradition of presidential debate.” In the same post, Kennedy also blasted Trump’s policies during his time in the White House. Kennedy has been especially critical of Trump’s Operation Warp Speed, which ramped up production of a COVID vaccine during the pandemic. WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI “He promised to end the Ukraine war and then colluded with Speaker Johnson and President Biden to fund it,” Kennedy wrote. “He let Big Pharma and his corrupt bureaucrats run roughshod over him as President. He promised to cut the deficit and ran up the biggest debt in history. He promised to run the government like a business and then closed down our businesses. He promised to drain the swamp and then filled his administration with swamp creatures. He promised to protect our rights and then torpedoed the Constitution.” The new alliance between Trump and Kennedy comes one day after the conclusion of the Democratic National Convention, where Harris was formally crowned as the party’s nominee. In a two-way race, Harris holds a 1.5-point lead over Trump in the latest RealClearPolitics average of national polling.

The following is an edited transcript excerpt from Dr. Jordan B. Peterson’s new DailyWire+ series Foundations of The West. Join Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and his esteemed colleagues in this new 5-part series exploring the ancient cities that shaped the West. Start time: 24:59 Ben Shapiro: Here you start to see the beginnings of the age of a constitutional monarchy. There are even hints of this in Deuteronomy. One of the laws in Deuteronomy is that the king is supposed to carry around his own Sefer Torah. He’s subject to the law. The king is not above the law. Judaism is very clear about that and so is Christianity. Henceforth, the idea of limitations on absolute government are part and parcel of the whole system. Jordan B. Peterson: One of the things that, to me, lends historical credence to those sorts of stories is that it does not exactly show David in a positive light. So what kind of propaganda is that exactly? Archeological site in City of David, Jerusalem, Israel. Jacek_Sopotnicki. Getty Images. Shapiro: That is definitely one of the things in favor of biblical narrative is that when you show all the warts, it suggests that you’re not propagandizing. Peterson: Yes, definitely. And that happens a lot. Shapiro: That’s the entire Exodus story. The idea is that you have an absolute monarch in Pharaoh, and he is a god, so everything he says goes. Then people are brought forth from slavery to freedom, but the freedom requires subjugation to God. You’re still a servant, but you’re not a servant of a person anymore. Now, you’re a servant of an ideal. You’re a servant of a higher power. And that means inherently limiting the power of human beings. Shapiro: This is like a massive cistern. Ze’ev Orenstein (Director of International Affairs): So, you see here, it’s an ancient cistern. You see the plaster, here, on that wall that would keep the water in. Peterson: So people would have carved this out of the rock? Screenshot: DailyWire+ Orenstein: Sure. One of the challenges that Israel still has is water scarcity. And so here’s how you would store water. Now, keep in mind, if we are coming from next to the palace, this is not a private person’s cistern. This, you can see, is a massive area. This is the cistern that archeologists believe could have been the cistern where Jeremiah was thrown into a pit. Jeremiah was perceived at that time to be a traitor. He had said that if the people don’t change their ways, Jerusalem is going to be destroyed. But he was a prophet of doom. Nobody wanted to hear what he had to say, and the advisors of King Zedekiah got tired of hearing this guy go around calling for the surrender of the city, so they threw him down into a pit. Now, can I tell you for sure Jeremiah is thrown into this pit? I can’t tell you that, and if not this one, it was one near here like this one. Peterson: All pits are the same, if you’re thrown into them. WATCH: Foundations of the West, Episode 1: ‘Jerusalem & The Axis Mundi’ with Dr. Jordan B. Peterson on DailyWire+ Orenstein: Here, they say, what’s the plan? He’s going to drown, right? It’s a cistern. But the Bible makes it clear: There’s no water; there’s mud. And he’s sinking into the mud until a servant to the king goes before Zedekiah, and he says, “You might not like what Jeremiah is saying, but it’s not him who’s saying it. He’s a prophet. He’s a man of God. The words are God’s words. You can’t do this to Jeremiah.” And the king says, “All right, you’re right. Go take 30 people with you and pull Jeremiah up out of the pit.” And then it goes on to say how he keeps true to his message about what’s going to happen to Jerusalem. But this is where, back to the last days of Jerusalem before the Babylonians destroyed it, you have Jeremiah here sinking into the mud, hearing the impending destruction above. This is where it’s playing out. We take for granted today the ability to be critical of our leadership, to hold our leaders accountable. But going back thousands of years, there was a position in biblical times, that of the prophet, whose role was to go to the highest levels of society and to hold those leaders accountable and let them know that there are consequences for falling short. There are consequences for making poor decisions, unethical decisions. Credit: Gregory Woodman. DailyWire+. Shapiro: Both the Judaic side of government and the Greek side of government are predicated on the idea that there are limitations to what government can do. You can make the case that the biblically based system is more of a limited monarchy, where the powers of the king are fairly limited, but the kingship is not derived from the people. And the Greek system is that authority is derived from the people and is almost unlimited. When Aristotle talks about how there are three types of governments and all have the capacity to devolve into tyranny, that’s what he’s talking about. You can have a benevolent monarch, which is more like the biblical system, but even the Bible is pretty divided over whether kings are good or necessary. Samuel gives a whole speech before the appointment of King Saul, saying, “You guys are really going to hate this king thing. You probably shouldn’t do it.” And the people say, “Well, no. We want it anyway.” And God says, “Ok, fine. If they want it, they’re going to get it.” Orenstein: Every single day here in the City of David, we’re unearthing antiquities that show, not simply as a matter of faith, but as a matter of fact, Jerusalem’s biblical heritage coming to life.

Police busted a methamphetamine distribution operation in Colony Ridge, a sprawling land development north of Houston, Texas that uses legally questionable tactics to attract illegal immigrants. The Liberty County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Unit seized 86 pounds of crystal methamphetamine that was intended for distribution and arrested three suspects after a brief pursuit. Colony Ridge is estimated to have anywhere from 45,000 to 75,000 residents, and sprawls across roughly 60 square miles, making it nearly the size of Washington, D.C. The development has become infamous for advertising and offering financing to illegal immigrants, and now faces lawsuits from the Department of Justice, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. The three suspects, Misael Jaramillo, Cesar Patino, and Martha Julissa Martinez, were arrested after Patino allegedly attempted to escape and rammed his vehicle into police vehicles. Patino also allegedly threw a handgun out of the vehicle before being arrested. Jaramillo allegedly attempted to escape authorities before also being apprehended. The Liberty County Sheriff’s Office went to Jaramillio’s Colony Ridge residence, which law enforcement said was being used as a meth laboratory following Patino and Jaramillo’s arrests. The officers searched the property and reportedly found cocaine, weapons, and more meth, which Martha Julissa Martinez reportedly attempted to hide from authorities prior to her arrest. Martinez was then arrested at the residence. READ MORE: Inside Colony Ridge: The ‘Fastest Growing Development’ In The U.S. Is A Magnet For Illegal Immigrants The Colony Ridge drug bust comes just months after two illegal immigrant murder suspects who lived in the development were arrested by the Splendora Police Department. One of the two murder suspects, Juan Jose Valero Cruz, had already been deported from the United States twice and was slated to be deported a third time after his arrest, the Department of Homeland Security stated. Colony Ridge came under scrutiny late last year after a teen was allegedly abducted at gunpoint inside the development and shot at after he fled from the kidnappers. In addition to the lawsuits, Colony Ridge also faces an ongoing investigation from the Environmental Protection Agency, with reports indicating that the Internal Revenue Service and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality may be conducting investigations of their own.

At first glance, Vice President Kamala Harris has little in common with Eva Perón, the controversial first lady of Argentina popularly known as “Evita.” But a closer look reveals one alarming similarity. Over 70 years ago, Evita and her husband, Argentina’s president Juan Perón held power by showering their fellow citizens with benefits and tanking the economy. The Peróns threw (figurative) candy off the palace balcony to the masses below, while distracting them from the consequences of irresponsible fiscal policy. Last year, inflation in Argentina was at 140%. Poverty was at 40%. Half the country was receiving some kind of public payment. After seven decades of Peronism, the Argentines had finally had enough. They elected economist Javier Milei on a promise to shrink government, privatize state companies, and liberalize trade. Here in los Estados Unidos, we seem not to have taken this lesson to heart. President Biden used COVID as an excuse to give us the American Rescue Plan and the Inflation Reduction Act — which, despite the names, poured printed trillions into the money supply. This, economists tell us, is the basic cause of inflation. More money chasing the same amount of stuff means higher prices. Then there was the student loan giveaway, where hundreds of billions in borrowers’ liability, regardless of the quality of their degree or ability to pay, were transferred to you and me. The Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional, but the administration continued regardless. There was also a pension bailout. Biden used $36 billion in taxpayer funds to bail out 350,000 participants in underfunded private plans. But what the White House called “helping to ensure a dignified retirement for all American workers” means all the other taxpayers bailing out badly-managed union funds. Nationalizing private losses creates more moral hazard, as feckless managers face no consequences for failure. When it comes to immigration, Biden has doled out candy like no other president before him—a policy that Harris, his “border czar,” shows every sign of continuing if she succeeds him. There’s been billions in FEMA grants given to charities that relocate inadmissible aliens throughout the country, and to the Biden-supporting cities and states that house them for “free.” There’s Temporary Protected Status, where the government “temporarily” declares a given country’s illegal aliens off limits for enforcement. This lasts 18 months, but then is renewed over and over. Some countries’ nationals have had TPS for decades. Then there’s Biden’s bogus immigration parole-a-palooza programs that cover whole countries and millions of inadmissible or illegal aliens. The latest is “parole in place,” which could apply to a million or more illegal aliens married to U.S. citizens. Like other Biden “lawful pathways” around immigration limits set by Congress, this one is wide open to fraud. There’s Deferred Enforced Departure for illegally present Palestinians (and others), which means although a foreign national has had all due process, the Biden-Harris administration just decides not to enforce judgement. The administration is also considering expanding the Cancellation of Removal program to people who have lived in the U.S. for over 10 years and have citizen relatives who would “suffer hardship” if they were deported. They’re unlikely to set the hardship bar too high. There’s taxpayer subsidized Medicaid and Obamacare for DACA (Obama’s “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals” program). To achieve this, Biden’s proposed rule considers DACA beneficiaries “lawfully present” for the purposes of health benefits, though the justification for the “deferred action” against them is that they are unlawfully present. It’s pretzel logic. The emerging Harris agenda builds off the Biden years by bringing a bigger bag of candy to the balcony and throwing it off even faster. She wants to: Give illegal aliens an “earned pathway to citizenship” (amnesty); “eliminate” medical debt (by transferring it to the rest of us); give first-time house buyers $25,000 and $40 billion in subsidies tax credits for builders; give parents a $6,000 “tax credit” (even if they pay no tax); ban “price-gouging” for groceries, and cap prescription drug costs.  The last two ideas are known as “price controls.” Reason magazine calls them “dishonest and stupid.” Or as Federal Reserve economist Chris Neely more politely writes, an “analysis of history show that broad price controls would be costly and of limited effectiveness.” Harris says she will do all this while “reducing the deficit and strengthening our fiscal health.” You see, she will throw all the candy out of the basket, but the basket magically refills. It’s the miracle of the loaves and fishes, with faith not in God but Big Government. Tax expert Daniel Hemel thinks Harris has “made the correct calculus that sacrificing on fiscal policy for a few hundred thousand middle-class voters in the battleground states is worth it.” Maybe so. And who wants to be the politician running against Evita and the free candy? What’s certain is that, though the candy continues to rain on our heads, it is never free. * * * Simon Hankinson is a Senior Research Fellow in the Border Security and Immigration Center at The Heritage Foundation.

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.
