Concerns Aplenty As Tim Walz Meets Alex Soros At The DNC

While the festivities of the Democratic National Convention entered its final day on Thursday, August 22, attention briefly turned away from Kamala Harris’ onto her running mate, Tim Walz.

The Minnesota Gov. opted to spend a bit of his afternoon speaking with Alex Soros – the son of George Soros – and his new fiancé (and former Hillary Clinton aide) Huma Abedin. Like father, like son, Alex controls a multi-billion-dollar empire capable of funding political campaigns.

Last year, around the time he took over his father’s empire, Alex had a meeting with VP Harris that we only know about because he posted about it on Instagram – as Harris interestingly left that meeting off her public schedule that day. 

And there were plenty more meetings. As Fox reported last September:

Vice President Harris hosted George Soros heir Alex Soros at her private residence, along with several other top Democratic donors earlier this year, White House visitor logs show.

The White House released Harris’ May 2023 visitor logs late last week, and a May 31 entry showed that Soros visited her private residence, listed in the documents as “1st Floor VPR.” Joining Soros were supermodel Savannah Huitema and seven other prominent Democratic donors.

Soros posted a picture of himself with Harris on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, on June 6, and boasted about a meeting with the vice president. Details of where and when the meeting took place were not previously known, however.

In the event of a Harris-Walz presidency, there will be no doubt who is really pulling the strings. 

With their Republican rival being a famous billionaire, the Democrats have sought to wage a war against the rich and wealthy in a bid to secure voters from lower income backgrounds.

This has led to awkward contradictions at the DNC with far-left progressives maintaining a different stance to the more liberal elements of the Democratic Party.

It also contradicts the criticism leveled by Walz to his Republican counterpart J.D. Vance. The Democrat has shown particular hostility towards Vance’s career which he previously claimed was “funded by Silicon Valley billionaires.”

Naturally, the Soros involvement with yet another Democrat also raises concerns among voters. Pumping millions, if not billions, of dollars into a campaign can influence policy and decision-making.

CNN Commentator Stuns Liberal Panel Into Silence At The DNC

For much of the past week, the Democratic National Convention has been a non-stop Donald Trump-bashing affair.

Absent of new ideas and influential policy, the DNC has largely focused on the so-called risks of a Trump presidency rather than addressing the issues currently facing America.

It’s a desperate measure. Although the former president has been a domineering figure in U.S. politics for the best part of a decade, he was only commander-in-chief for four of those years. By contrast, the Democrats have controlled the White House for 12 of the last 16 years – a fact which a conservative commentator on CNN pointed out on a panel discussion day three of the DNC.

Commentator Scott Jennings, addressed the liberal panel following the speech by Minnesota Gov. and Kamala Harris’ running mate, Tim Walz.

“The gaffe that I still see in all of these speeches, as good as they were, is that she’s in the White House right now,” Jennings said on CNN. “Democrats have controlled the White House for 12 of the last 16 years.”

“For all the talk about divisions and problems in the country and people are hurting, Democrats have mostly controlled this country…. and somehow, it’s still all Trump’s fault and somehow she hasn’t been at the center of it. So to me, that’s still the glaring hole of this campaign that hasn’t yet been solved at this convention. How do you explain all the problems that will be solved, by the person who is currently in there, for the past 3.5 years, that is supposed to already be working on solving them?” he asked.

With CNN’s commentators stunned into silence, many on social media praised Jennings for his remarks.

Others noted the reaction from CNN’s liberal pundits.

Texas Sheriff Who Previously Bashed Biden-Harris Administration Over Border Crisis Endorses Vice President Who Is Responsible For It

The Democratic National Convention has not been the epicenter of policy announcement one would expect from such a landmark event.

In an attempt to blame the failures of the past four years on someone who hasn’t been in a position of political power, Democratic speakers have been relentless in their attacks on Donald Trump. The only policy issue that seemed to get any significant attention was abortion.

Sheriff Javier Salazar was no exception. Addressing attendees in a Stetson hat, the Bexar County, TX, official became one of the first speakers at the DNC to address the border crisis – but it’s his prior comments that are raising eyebrows.

Sheriff Salazar explained the horrors of human trafficking before accusing Trump of being a “self-serving man” who refused to help law enforcement officials in the Lone Star State, a claim with no evidence for it and an overwhelming amount against.  

“Kamala, on the other hand, has been fighting border crime for years,” he said. “She’s gone down to Mexico and worked to stop the traffickers, and when the traffickers didn’t stop, she put ’em in jail.”

Soon after, social media discovered that Salazar’s views on the administration have not always been so delightful, which you can see in a side-by-side comparison below:

In 2022, the sheriff pleaded “the President or a member of his administration that can make decisions to come down” and talk to law enforcement officials. “I’d like to see somebody from Washington come down here, get boots on the ground, and get eyes on the issue at hand,” he added in an interview with MSNBC.

Illegal entries into the U.S. have only increased further since that comment, so he can hardly claim he flip-flopped because the administration since did their job.

Many accused Salazar of selling out in order to appear at the DNC.

Many were also deeply critical of the sheriff whose office is located some 150 miles from the southern border.

California Wants to Give Illegals Your Tax Dollars to Buy Houses

Will California ever be worth its nickname The Golden State Again? The state has a $60 billion budget deficit, and all it can think of are new ways to spend taxpayer money that it doesn’t even have. 

Now, the state’s Democrats want to give even more tax money paid by U.S. citizens to illegal border crossers. This time, it’s in the form of an extension to the state’s existing California Dream For All Shared Appreciation Loan program, which gives first-time homebuyers up to 20 percent of the home’s purchase price as a loan for the down payment. 

Yes, it’s a loan, but it’s an interest-free loan, meaning it’s free money. Now, Assembly Bill 1840 would extend the program to illegal aliens. The state’s Senate Appropriations Committee approved the bill unanimously last week, which means it will move forward for a senate vote. But since Democrats control the senate, and uber-progressive Gavin Newsom is the Governor, it does not seem likely that the bill can be stopped. 

Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris seems to be studying the California approach as she recently rolled out a proposal to give first-time homeowners a $25,000 down payment and a $10,000 tax credit on top of it. But Harris’ program does not appear to include illegal aliens (yet). 

San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond said it was irresponsible of Democrats to ignore the needs of U.S. citizens living in the state in order to “prioritize illegal immigration,” especially in times of fiscal crisis. He called the expansion of the program “not just another handout,” but a big overreach that will leave taxpayers holding the bag. 

Unsurprisingly, one state Assemblymember said the original loan program, restricted to citizens, was just not inclusive enough. Joaquin Arambula of Fresno introduced the bill in the assembly in early 2024 specifically to include illegal aliens within the definition of “first-time homebuyer.” He said that owning a home “should be available to everyone.”

Many might agree, but for them, the definition of “available” does not mean, “paid for with interest-free tax dollars.” 

We’ve seen what state politicians have to say, so let’s check in with regular people on social media. 

Maybe this user has the right idea. After all, California’s been losing residents to other states in recent years

California’s ultra-liberal policies aren’t just driving out homeowners, but some of the largest businesses. Billionaire own of the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), said he’s moving his SpaceX rocket company to Texas after a recent California law that allows teachers to keep the “gender identity” of confused students secret from their parents.

Venezuelan Illegal Alien Tries To Get Into DNC… Here’s How It Went

A key issue for Kamala Harris during her vice presidency has been the border.

Appointed the “Border Czar” early on during the Biden administration, Harris has overseen the biggest increase in illegal immigration in U.S. history. Desperate to escape poverty and high crime rates in the socialist country, a large number of illegal aliens have come from Venezuela.

It’s an issue which Democrats have largely avoided talking about during its four-day Harris confirmation party. Of course, the Democratic National Convention wouldn’t want anyone just wandering in, and so conservative broadcaster Steve Coates decided to test how principled they truly were, and tried to see if they’d allow in a Venezuelan illegal alien named Edwin.

The two began by simply trying to walk into the DNC, but were quickly turned away by officials guarding a 12ft fence. Both Coates and Edwin were told they required credentials to enter, so went off to the credentials office to find out more.

Upon arrival, Coates was asked whether anyone had filled in an application for Edwin to enter the DNC. Despite not being required this to enter the country – something Democrats have no problem with – Edwin was unable to enter the DNC without a valid application form, and two were ejected from the credentials office.

A further test of the security measures proved unsuccessful, but Edwin was told he would be unable to meet his “Democratic friends” without the appropriate credentials. Now 0-3 in his attempts to enter, a disappointed Edwin left without entering the DNC.

Many, including owner of X Elon Musk, called out the hypocrisy of the Democratic Party.

Others praised the video, with one even calling for the GOP to use it as a political ad!

Democratic National Convention Speaker Slams Impact On Education During COVID Despite Party’s Reluctance To Reopen Schools

In a humiliating twist of irony, the Democratic National Convention invited a speaker who criticized the decision to close schools during the COVID-19 pandemic, who apparently didn’t’ realize that Democrats and leftist Teachers Unions were behind 100% of those closing decisions.

“Too many kids were forced to go online class in McDonald’s parking lots,” he told the DNC.

The decision to reopen schools for in-person learning ultimately resided with individual school districts, and Democrat areas overwhelmingly resisted in-person education, largely in part due to the pressure from teaching unions, as revealed by Corey A. DeAngelis, author of “The Parent Revolution: Rescuing Your Kids from the Radicals Ruining Our Schools.”

He pointed to the Chicago Teachers Union, who went as far as to accuse those wanting open schools as having views rooted in “sexism, racism, and misogyny.”

Academic studies also found a correlation between political affiliation and the likelihood of a school remaining closed. In one, published in June 2021 by Cambridge University Press, its authors found “that mass partisanship and vested interests best explain the degree to which schools reopened. Republican districts were far more likely to reopen in person, while Democrat districts with stronger unions relied more on remote learning.”

Likewise, another study found that “decisions were more tied to local political partisanship and union strength than to COVID-19 severity”, adding that “Republicans in the public were also more favorable than Democrats toward in-person learning.”

Finally, DeAngelis noted that Democrats previously ran an attack ad against then-President Donald Trump for his calls to reopen schools during the pandemic.

Woke Woman Creates Black-Only Crossword for “Inclusivity”

Have you ever done a crossword and thought, “Boy – this crossword just isn’t focused enough on race”? No, us neither – but apparently Juliana Pache did. She thought crosswords were so racist, in fact, that she made her only black-only version.

Woke Mania: Black-Only Crossword Puzzles

In a world where the Woke brigade never tires of finding fault with everything, 32-year-old Juliana Pache has introduced a black-only crossword puzzle website. Blackcrossword.com was launched in January 2023, offering daily mini-puzzles that spotlight Black culture and history. Apparently, mainstream crossword puzzles are too biased for her taste. And mainstream news outlets can’t stop covering her.

Pache recounted her inspiration, claiming she struggled with a crossword puzzle that didn’t include references she found familiar. Rather than pick up a history book or do a bit more learning, she decided it was time for a whole new crossword experience. One that was more focused on…race.

“I had never made a crossword puzzle before,” Pache said. “But I was like, I can figure it out.”

The Book and The Mission

As if the website was not enough, Pache has also released a book titled “Black Crossword: 100 Mini Puzzles Celebrating the African Diaspora.” Once again, the mainstream media is busy showering her efforts with praise—because nothing says woke like focusing exclusively on one group to highlight inclusivity.

Pache aims to include at least three Black cultural references per puzzle. Her goal, as she states, is to create content that Black people would enjoy and to highlight the diversity within Black communities and cultures.

So apparently “Black jobs” is offensive but “Black cultural references” isn’t? Ok…

Spotlight on Diversity in Crosswords

Pache’s efforts draw on a broader conversation about representation in crossword puzzles. This debate touches on who constructs these puzzles and how inclusive the clues and answers are. Imagine honestly believing something as benign as crosswords needs to become a battleground for cultural sensitivity. There are people doing exactly that, though.

Data journalist Michelle Pera-McGhee’s 2020 project brought to light the gender and racial disparities in crossword puzzle references. With several initiatives underway, makers are now offering fellowships for underrepresented puzzle constructors and creating puzzles for varied communities. 

It’s “interesting because it’s supposed to be easy,” Pera-McGhee said. “You want … ideally to reference things that people, everybody knows about because everyone learns about them in school or whatever. … What are the things that we decide we all should know?”

In today’s world, where everything allegedly has an inherent bias, crosswords were bound to become the next target. Weren’t they? As for Pache, her ostensibly …noble… mission continues to carve out niches and build walls. Blackcrossword.com and her accompanying book are just more examples of how the liberal mindset tends to fixate on color in the name of diversity.

In the grand scheme of things, this initiative might become another footnote in the ever-expanding book of Woke culture. Maybe one day we’ll return to simply enjoying puzzles, without needing a magnifying glass for implied biases and hidden meanings. And when we can’t find the answers, we pick up a history book and educate ourselves…

The DNC Platform Featured FIVE References To “Biden’s Second Term”

The Democratic National Convention kicked off on Monday, August 19, but its arrival marked a disaster for the party’s copy editors (if they exist at all) with multiple references to President Joe Biden’s “second term” across the official platform.

Biden announced his decision to not stand for re-election four weeks and a day before the DNC began in Chicago, IL. His announcement, while still a landmark moment, was expected for some weeks prior with pressure mounting from senior Democrats calling him to stand aside.

In his statement posted on X, Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as his successor to take on Donald Trump at November’s election, which all-but confirmed her status as the Democrats’ presidential nominee.

Yet, despite four weeks of the Democrats promoting Harris as a movement for change from the administration she’s currently in, it appears some staffers within the party missed the memo.

Before a hasty editorial change, the DNC platform – which describes the events for the party’s quadrennial ceremony – featured five references to the administration’s plans for “Biden’s second term”. Such pledges include greater border security, research into AI, and his push for Supreme Court reform.

While perhaps just an oversight, the mishaps do not bode well for a Harris campaign which seeks to differentiate itself from the failings of the Biden administration.

Others made reference to the AI model ChatGPT.

“Democracy Is Incredibly Strong… And Incredibly Fragile” – Clip Shows Why Kamala Harris Speaks With A Teleprompter

Vice President Kamala Harris has been criticized by many throughout her month-old campaign so far for her benevolence of teleprompters.

In a stark contrast to Republican rival Donald Trump’s free-flowing speeches at campaign events, Harris has often read her pre-written speech – often twice in one day to different voters – from a script to ensure there are no errors akin to those which have become synonymous with her alleged President Joe Biden.

Her fondness for reading pre-planned material has come at a cost; Harris has been slammed for avoiding the media thus far, with her campaign rallies largely focusing on rejuvenating disgruntled Democrats who only planned to vote against Biden, rather than vote for Trump.

On Sunday, August 18, Harris spoke in Pennsylvania – a swing state which is crucial for her campaign if she is to be successful on election day. Addressing supporters in front of a poorly painted background, the Democrat once again jumbled her words as she spoke without a teleprompter.

“Our election is about understanding the importance of this beautiful country of ours in terms of what we stand for around the globe as a democracy,” she told supporters.  “As a democracy, we know there’s a duality to the nature of democracy. On the one hand, incredible strength when it is intact. What it does for its people to protect and defend their rights, their liberty, and their freedom. Incredibly strong. And incredibly fragile.”

And surely it was all unburdened by what has been.

Watch for yourself – and bonus points if you can figure out what she’s saying to say.

Reaction to the speech on social media suggested that many people did not have clue what Harris was on about.

Of course, it’s always worth remembering that Harris is one of two people who could possibly be the country’s next president.

The Democratic Party Returns To Its Roots With Segregated Caucuses

The 2024 Democratic National Convention has prompted the party to return to its roots and reintroduce segregated caucus meetings.

Kicking off the DNC are meetings with caucuses for five separate non-White groups. These include caucuses for Democrats who are Black, Hispanic, AAPI (Asian American and Pacific Islander), Native American, and “Ethnic.” Surely by 2028 there will be some new racial identities added to the list.

Wouldn’t it be simply to just have an “everyone except white people” caucus at this point? Because that is effecively want they want.

Historically, Southern Democrats maintained a strong foothold over the national party’s policy towards segregation. The South often saw mandated segregation through law, while Northern states typically held a de facto system, particularly in schools, where races were divided despite the absence of legislation requiring a segregated system.

While there’s likely a reasoning for today’s DNC holding different caucuses for different voters, the optics for a party which claims to be progressive only portray a deep sense of irony.

It may also send a conflicting message to moderate voters.
