Sen. Chuck Schumer Announces Kamala Harris Endorsement, Awkwardness Ensues

In a desperate attempt to drum up support for the recently crowned presumptive nominee Kamala Harris, Democratic Senate Leader Chuck Schumer gave his most convincing performance of enthusiasm to a less-than-interested audience. Speaking during a joint press conference held on Tuesday with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Schumer read a pre-prepared statement about the vice president’s candidacy for president.

The press conference also came after both men held off from announcing their support for Harris. Both were rumored to be considering other options as DNC operatives worked their magic behind the scenes. While Schumer’s words were positive, though, his actions didn’t come across as authentic. Slightly raising his voice, Schumer said that America was beginning its “next chapter” and that it will be the “best yet.” He also proclaimed that Vice President Kamala Harris will “beat Donald Trump” in November.

Jeffries echoed his colleague’s comments, describing Kamala as a capable leader who is “ready” and “willing” to lead the country into the future.

Schumer noticed the lack of response from the crowd, and even encouraged them to applaud in a moment reminiscent of Jeb Bush’s “please clap” moment. But at least in the case of Jeb, he was trying to be funny. Regardless, they still didn’t chat. Watching the clip below, it’s hard not to notice the robotic nature of Schumer’s own cheers and applause.

Videos of the interaction immediately went viral on X, formerly known as Twitter.  

Regardless of whether the endorsement is genuine, though, Harris secured a huge win by gaining their support. Not only does she have the support of Biden’s delegates – at least for the most part – but she also has the support of the biggest names in the party. It makes Harris the presumptive nominee without even a single ballot being cast and is certain to raise questions among Democrat voters about transparency within the party.

Democrat voters still haven’t forgotten about what the DNC did to Bernie Sanders.

Reports reveal that Schumer spoke with Harris over the phone ahead of his announcement. Confirming the call, Schumer said that he had held off from endorsing her because Harris wanted to win the nomination “on her own” and “from the grassroots.”

Do you think this was a grassroots campaign?

Anti-Israel Congresswoman’s Extraordinary Ties To Palestinian Terrorist Exposed

California Rep. Sara Jacobs holds a peculiar position on the Israel-Hamas war.

Despite her Jewish faith, Rep. Jacobs is prominently anti-Israel when it comes to the conflict. She previously called upon the United States government to withdraw arms funding for the Benjamin Netanyahu’s forces, and her remarks often focus on the impact on Palestinian civilians rather than the atrocities of the Hamas-led regime.

This seemingly conflicted viewpoint was emphasized once again on Thursday, July 24, when she announced she would not be attending the Israeli Prime Minister’s speech to Congress.

However, it was the response by one social media user which really raised eyebrows.

As some sleuthing from Ariel Sterman uncovered, a few simple Google searches reveal that her fiancé is Palestinian.

Now, that wouldn’t be damning on it’s own. After all, surely she’s more likely to sympathize with the Palestinians if she’s going to be married to one.

But the rabbit hole goes far deeper than that. Her Palestinian husband is the grandson of Abu Youssef, a member of the terrorist and far-left Palestine Liberation Organization, and key planner of the 1972 Munich massacre, which killed 11 Israelis. Seven months later, Youssef and his wife were killed in an Israeli raid on their Beirut apartment while their children were home.

In 1965, while working in Kuwait, Abu Youssef co-founded Fatah with Yasser Arafat and other exiled Palestinians.

Youssef’s grandson Ammar Campa-Najjar is also involved in U.S. Democrat politics, and worked as a regional field director for Barack Obama’s 2012 presidential campaign. He was also a White House intern during the Obama administration, and worked in the Labor department. He’s also unsuccessfully run for Congress twice.

Commenters reacted with shock at the response.

Democrat Congressman Who Sought To Remove Donald Trump’s Secret Service Detail Slammed For Assassination Response

Democrat Congressman Bennie Thompson, who proposed removing Donald Trump’s Secret Service protection, has come under heavy criticism in the wake of the assassination attempt on the former president.

Trump was hit by sniper fire at a rally in Butler, PA, on Saturday, July 13. Miraculously, the Republican presumptive nominee survived the shooting after the bullet pierced his right ear. The shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, was killed by the Secret Service Counter Assault Team within seconds of his first shots.

Questions have been asked of the Secret Service after Crooks was able to access a rooftop around 450 feet away from the stage where Trump was speaking. Eyewitness reports also suggest that the shooter’s presence on the rooftop was known before Crooks fired his first shot, and police had up to two minutes to react before shots rang out.

An outpouring of support for former president Trump followed with Republicans and Democrats condemning the assassination attempt.

However, when Rep. Bennie Thompson offered his thoughts, social media users were quick to point out that he had previously introduced legislation to remove Trump’s Secret Service detail.

The Mississippi congressman and member of the House Committee on Homeland Security previously introduced a bill which would strip convicted felons who had been sentenced to prison of Secret Service protection. Introduced in April 2024, the bill was introduced as Trump’s hush money trial commenced. While not specified by name, the bill clearly was created for the sole purpose of targeting Trump and putting him in danger.

Not only did Rep. Thompson receive backlash for his previous lawmaking efforts, but he was also forced to fire his field director Jacqueline Marsaw who reportedly posted “don’t miss next time” on Facebook in response to the shooting.

And his boss probably shares those sentiments.

Joe Biden Defies Medical Science To Become First Black Female President

President Joe Biden’s health and wellbeing has been one of his biggest bugbears since he was sworn into office over three years ago.

Prior to his longest continual appearance in front of the nation at last month’s presidential debate, criticism of the President’s cognitive ability had been somewhat limited to his fiercest Republican critics. That changed, quite considerably, when the mainstream media and even Democrats began questioning his ability as commander-in-chief.

Nevertheless, Biden has vowed to fight on and take the fight to Donald Trump in November. A string of public appearances may not have quashed concerns, but trusty White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has brushed aside fitness allegations by blaming the President’s wellbeing on seasonal illness and jetlag.

Common symptoms include tiredness, incoherence, and, of course, forgetting what gender and race one is.

That’s right, in a telephone interview with a Philadelphia radio station, Biden said he was the “first black woman to serve with a black president”:

The radio appearance (obviously) did little to silence Biden’s critics.

One commenter tried to decipher what the President actually meant.

Nevertheless, the post did little to ease concerns.

It’s hard to know whether Biden’s gaffes have increased in frequency, or whether there’s been more attention paid to them since the CNN debate. Nevertheless, fighting an election against a personality like Trump means the person will be in as much spotlight as the policies. If Biden’s gaffes only get worse, then as will his chances of re-election when the country goes to the polls in November.

Karine Jean-Pierre Says What We All Knew About Kamala Harris

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said “the quiet part out loud” in her first press conference since President Joe Biden’s calamitous debate on CNN.

During it, she revealed that Democrats really can’t find anyone remotely competent to be the future of the party. “One of the reasons why he picked the vice president, President [sic] Kamala Harris, is because she is indeed the future of the party,” Jean-Pierre said.

Harris is the least popular Vice President in the history of modern polling, which should make her the dumbest possible choice for the party. Then again, maybe Jean-Pierre named her because all the other Democrats are somehow worse.

The 81-year-old is determined to stay in the race and face Republican challenger Donald Trump at November’s elections. Nevertheless, Democrats have privately discussed an emergency successor for Biden, with California Gov. Gavin Newsom among the potential candidates.

Should the President choose to step aside, it’s likely that he will have an overriding say in the Democratic Party’s nominee to take on Trump. Despite a dismal approval rating, Vice President Kamala Harris is the likely heir-apparent should the incumbent stand aside.

Biden has long considered himself a “transition”’” candidate prior to the party (presumably) nominating someone who isn’t in their 80’s to lead the country. As such, Harris is the likely successor – a belief which was all-but confirmed by Press Secretary Jean-Pierre on Wednesday.

“One of the reasons why he picked the vice president… is because she is indeed the future of the party,” she told reporters. “He is very proud to have partnered with her and to continue partnering with her in delivering an unprecedented record for the American people.”

Harris’ lack of popularity was matched on X as users responded to Jean-Pierre’s remarks.

Others remained skeptical over Harris’ appointment which many see as a DEI hire to secure the left-wing vote.

O’Keefe Media Group: Biden State Department Admits the “Great Replacement” Is Real

Americans have been told by our “betters” in government and media that it’s paranoid to talk about “the Great Replacement.” They call it a “conspiracy theory” in order to make normal, rational questions about our government’s open borders immigration policy sound like the ravings of insane people.

CNN’s Don Lemon is a good example. In this exchange with billionaire inventor Elon Musk, Lemon feigns ignorance (maybe he’s not pretending) of how allowing millions of illegal aliens to pour in will get Democrats more votes. Since illegal immigrants can’t vote (technically), he asks how it’s “possible” that they’ll get more votes for the blue side, ignoring the obvious countless pushes from amnesty by Democrats.

Musk explained that the Census, taken every 10 years, counts every person, not just legal citizens. Many of these aliens end up clustering around Democrat-run area. When Congressional districts are redrawn to account for the increase in population, the Democrats will disproportionately get bigger districts and more voters.

Now Project Veritas has released new undercover video with staffers at the State Department. Take a listen and see if you still think the Great Replacement is just a “conspiracy theory.”

Veritas has an officer of the U.S. Consulate on camera saying, “Latin Americans are all leftists. This is just to try and change the demographics of the United States.”

Still a conspiracy theory?

That same Consular officer told the Project Veritas investigator, “I wish people knew we’re letting in criminals daily.” He continued, saying that ordinary hardworking Mexicans stay in their country, but the criminal element, the “garbage,” waltzes right over the border. The Mexican government has no incentive to stop this outward migration because they don’t want this quality of people there any more than the U.S. does.

People on Twitter/X are not surprised.

“BlindFaithBook” sees a connection between U.S. policy and the UK. It seems that the left everywhere has in common a hatred of their own citizens and a preference for outsiders.

“Redacted” puts his/her finger on how this policy is reflected in popular culture:

If an alien from outer space tried to learn about the U.S. from TV commercials, they would conclude that most Americans are black, mixed-race, or Latino, and that every family had a bi-racial couple and mixed children. They would conclude that caucasians are a small minority.

“Balam” isn’t very hopeful:

As others have noted, Democrats themselves have openly promoted the “Great Replacement” theory themselves for years.

After the 2012 election Reuters ran an article headlined “Obama win shows demographic shifts working against Republicans.”

In 2020, Politico ran an article opening with the line “For years, the Democratic Party has operated under one immutable assumption: Long-term demographic trends would give the party something like a permanent majority as the country as a whole grows less white and more urban.”

Elsewhere, former Democrat San Antonio Mayor and Obama Cabinet member Julian Castro commented that “in a couple of presidential cycles, you’ll be on Election Night, you’ll be announcing that we’re calling the 38 electoral votes of Texas for the Democratic nominee for president. It’s changing. It’s going to become a purple state and then a blue state because of the demographics, because of the population growth of folks from outside of Texas.”

What about you readers? Are you surprised or not? What do you think the future holds for immigration in America?

A Cool $5 Million-Does Pelosi Know Something We Don’t?

It’s not hard to see why some politicians are calling for a ban on lawmakers trading stocks. The problems of senators and House reps getting filthy rich and generating conflicts of interest have been with us for a long time. But the loot amassed by former California Democrat and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is raising eyebrows afresh.

According to the widely followed X account “Unusual Whales,” which tracks suspicious trades, Pelosi has made $5 million recently from her stock in the company Nvidia, which is now the most valuable company in the world (albeit with a much higher price to earnings ratio than second and third place, Microsoft and Apple). The company is best-known for its computer graphics cards powering popular high resolution video games, but like all such companies, it’s branching out into Artificial Intelligence (AI).

For reference, this is 20 times her annual salary.

An earlier story from a few weeks ago reported that Pelosi’s husband Paul made stock moves with Nvidia that netted the couple almost $4 million at that point.

What are the odds that their percent returns exceed that of investment legends like Warren Buffet?

It will probably be difficult or impossible to round up enough lawmakers to get a ban on congressional stock trading; too many people are feeding at that trough. Past legislation that claimed to ban the practice have done anything but. Politicians have always sought to enrich themselves above the “plebs” they pretend to serve, but the extremity of Pelosi’s wealth generation has really gotten under the skin of ordinary Americans.

Politicians are able to insulate themselves from much contact with real people, but the feelings of ordinary citizens flow freely on Elon Musk’s X.

Bruce is not alone. Like many others,  “FrankChronicles” believes Pelosi is engaged in insider trading. These are just suspicions and allegations, but they’re widely shared.

Then again, so is skepticism about accusations of insider trading:

But on the other-other hand, Pelosi’s return on investment has some people questioning how it is that a congresswoman seems to be outperforming top investment advisors.

We’re unlikely to find out for sure whether Pelosi or any other politician is getting inside tips because the system is set up to protect corruption for the powerful – but it’s safe to assume that’s exactly what’s happening.

Are you a casual or professional investor? What’s your take on Pelosi’s Nvidia windfall? Let us know in the comments.

“Release The Names” – Report Into Congress Settlements Resurfaces

On Friday, May 31, 2024, a seven-year-old article about hush money payments was shared by Republican Rep. Thomas Massie.

The story from CNN focuses on a report released by the Office of Compliance, effectively revealing that, from 1997 to 2017, Congress paid out more than $17 million in settlements.

There have been over 268 settlements across the 20-year period, all of which came from taxpayers’ money through a special fund within the U.S. Treasury. This was made possible by the passing of the Congressional Accountability Act in 1995.

While it was unclear as to how much of the $17million was for sexual harassment-related settlements due to the complex reporting system within the Office of Compliance, a source familiar with the process told the network that more than two-fifths of harassment claims are settled after mediation.

Yesterday (Thursday), Donald Trump became the first former president to be convicted of a felony following his five-week hush money trial in the Democrat-leaning suburb of Manhatton.

After the initial shock at such a landmark decision, social media users flocked to Rep. Massie’s post on X.

Many saw the hypocritical side of Congress, particularly given the seismic differences between Trump’s $130,000 case and Congress’ $17 million use of taxpayer money.

Far more users, however, called for Congress to release the names of those who had been involved with the settlements, with one user claiming that “everything is fair game now”.

What’s your view? Does this seem hypocritical by Congress? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Ilhan Omar And Cori Bush Mix-Up Memorial Day With Veterans Day In Deleted Posts

Leftist House Reps. Ilhan Omar and Cori Bush suffered an embarrassing humiliation over the weekend after confusing Memorial Day with Veterans Day.

The two Democrats posted similar comments on X before they were hastily deleted on Memorial Day.

Reps. Ilhan Omar, Cori Bush have each since deleted their posts.

Rep. Omar said, “we honor the heroic men and women who served our country”, adding that “they have more than earned access to quality mental health services, job opportunities, housing assistance, and the benefits they were promised”.

Likewise, Rep. Bush said Memorial Day was an opportunity to “honor our veterans”, calling for investment in “universal health care, affordable housing, comprehensive mental health services, and educational and economic opportunities”.

Social media users were quick to point out that Memorial Day serves to honor those who gave their lives fighting for the United States.

Both Omar and Bush posted amended comments later on Memorial Day, but it did little to quash the mockery and outrage from those who had seen the earlier remarks.

While we can speculate if the left really is sending their best and brightest in the likes of Bush and Omar – the answer sadly, is yes.

Ilhan Omar’s Daughter “Frantic” After Being Suspended From College

The daughter of Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has been suspended from Columbia University after being arrested during campus-wide pro-Palestinian protests last week.

Isra Hirsi was one of more than 100 students who were arrested last week after a CHAZ-style encampment sprung up on the college green.

The daughter of Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has been suspended from Columbia University after being arrested during campus-wide pro-Palestinian protests last week.

Isra Hirsi was one of more than 100 students who were arrested last week after a CHAZ-style encampment sprung up on the college green.

In response to the news, one Twitter/X user asked the question everyone was wondering; “Is this her daughter or niece?”

And she didn’t find much sympathy from anyone.

CHAZ, short for Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, was an area of downtown Seattle occupied by anti-police “protesters” during the George Floyd riots in the summer of 2020.

Columbia University President Minouche Shafik quickly released a statement condemning the protests, not for their content but for how they were conducted.

“There will be many views across our diverse community about how best to do this and that is as it should be. But we cannot have one group dictate terms and attempt to disrupt important milestones like graduation to advance their point of view.”

All of the students who were arrested have been suspended from the university, Hirsi included.

Hirsi, being by proxy famous, immediately jumped on the mainstream media talk show circuit and declared that she was now homeless and hungry.

Despite Hirsi being among hundreds arrested, she, quite hilariously, attempted to claim on MSNBC that she was singled out for arrest because of her identity. She also said that she’s “a little bit frantic” after being kicked out.

Life comes at you fast.
