It wasn’t Senator McGovern who in 1972, accepted the nomination way past midnight. I remember my mother coming into my room and asking what crazy stuff I was watching that weird time of the day. I told my mother that it was Senator McGovern accepting the nomination and she seemed a bit confused. Well, the DNC handed President Trump the ultimate indignity of his former opponent, a midnight speech that few people probably watched. This is from Chloe Meyer: Joe Biden’s historic and emotional farewell speech was bumped from prime-time TV, prompting disbelief and anger—and sparking various theories from viewers.

It most certainly was planned that his screech would come as late as possible to avoid viewers seeing through their shenanigans and witnessing another disaster from this man. The other speakers could have been bumped to accommodate ole joe in his prime time slot; we all know that. ‘It’s been an honor of my lifetime. I love the job. But I love my country more,’ he said. "I've made my millions off the backs of taxpayers. Suckers! I hate real work. But I hate this country even more," he partially screamed and whispered in his evil heart.

Like Biden's debate, it only took a few seconds to know how this speech would play out. Beyond the schadenfreude, why stick around?

I remember McGovern's speech. Well, sort of. The reason it took place so late is a senator from Alaska, who appeared to be drunk as a skunk, nominated himself for POTUS and then tried to second his own nomination. I watched Quid Pro Joe's screech with the mute button turned on. Was waiting for Gutfield. Only question I has was the "I luvJoe" signs made in China.

The two predominant explanations: poor planning/speakers running overtime; or deliberately shunting him to a very late time slot, are both plausible. But how about this third one: they had to wait for lightening to strike the kite overhead, to harnish a surge of power to galvanize the creature to get up and walk and talk.

CNN Commentator Had a Brutal Observation
About Bill Clinton's Convention Speech

CNN’s Scott Jennings struck again last night. Former President Bill Clinton addressed the crowd, where Slick Willy looked rough. Is he the same age as Trump? Sure, but we’ve been here before, folks. As Bill Maher said, Trump is like KISS—he may be old, but after he puts on the wig and makeup, he sounds like he did back in 1978. This convention has been a freak show, but Jennings’ observation of Clinton’s speech was spot-on: why was Clinton here when the voters he appealed to in the party have become Trump Republicans? Moreover, what is a man who was never held accountable for the credible accusations of rape

The more I see of Tim Walz, the more I realize he’s just a fatter, whiter version of Kamala. They both laugh at inappropriate times. They both say weird things. They both yearn for a communist America. They’re both on the wrong side of the IQ bell curve. If we lived in a society that encouraged talented people to run for political office, Tweedle-Kam and Tweedle-Tim would not be known. Because our political system excels at promoting mediocre minds attached to lost souls, the Democrat Party gives us a babbling baboon and a cackling hyena for veep and president.

Along with Nouriel Roubini, this article quotes Mark Zandi and Paul Krugman, both of whom predicted in 2016 that President Trump’s policies would cause massive job losses and a great recession as they campaigned for Hillary Clinton. They are all partisan hacks. They are not independent economists who analyze based on facts. These dire predictions are part of the Democrat playbook.

They call it the elephant in the room or the issue that won't go away. I am talking about the price of food or that weekly purchase that we all make. VP Harris may pretend to feel our pain or to propose silly solutions to ease it but it's the same old inflation crushing our wallets. Let's take a look. (snip) As I overheard someone say, inflation is a number on the TV screen until you go shopping. Then it takes over your family's budget and you feel like you are drowning all the time. Inflation is also topic one when you go out with friends.

James Carville’s vile, racist attack

James Carville’s career matches the trajectory of the Democrat party. Once, he was a pragmatic political strategist who managed to get Bill Clinton into the White House by focusing on economic issues. Then, he was a sleazy misogynist who helped Clinton skate past his history of sexual assaults. Now, he’s just another racist Democrat operative. Nowhere is that clearer than in his racist attack on Israel and its supporters in America. According to Carville, the only reason Republicans support Israel is because they think it’s a “white” country. This is offensive and ignorant at more levels than I can count.

So what's going on with the bitter and remorseful King Lear ensconced in the White House? According to this video, he's ever so subtly begun to stir, to backbite, at the loathed Kamala Harris, who inherited the spoils of his primary victories by scheming with Democrat elites without lifting a finger: The context here is that Harris is attempting to distance herself from Biden's wretched economic failures, from inflation to falling wages, to declining GDP, to rising unemployment. Harris says she'll fix inflation, bring "good-paying jobs," go after the corporations

President Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer have called the Supreme Court “out of control“ and “extreme.” But their efforts to undermine and intimidate the Court are as dangerous to our constitutional system as they are disingenuous, for they represent a monarchal effort to control the Court. Under Article III of our Constitution, the nation’s “judicial power” is vested in the Supreme Court and lower courts to be established by Congress. In addition to resolving “cases” or “controversies” brought before the Court, since the landmark 1803 case of Marbury v. Madison, it has been understood that power includes the right to declare acts of other departments and state governments unconstitutional.

As Rebecca wrote earlier last night, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) successfully fended off a primary challenge from Don Samuels, a former Minneapolis City Council member. Omar clinched 56 percent of the vote to Samuels’ 42 percent, with other candidates sprinkled in the field. Congress’ favorite radical Islamic terrorist apologist is heading back to Washington, so everyone should grab a barf bag. Yet, did anyone notice what was odd about the returns?

London Mayor Sadiq Khan has waded into American politics once again, saying that he is worried about his safety if Donald Trump returns to the White House and that the left-wing Labour Party should openly support the campaign of Kamala Harris. The far-left Mayor of London, who has a long history of public verbal spats with former President Donald Trump, said in an interview with the globalist New Statesman this week that he has personal fears of the Republican nominee being victorious in the presidential election in November.

A massive new statue has been unveiled in the United States, with the gargantuan construct not honoring a famous American or historical figure but rather a polytheistic group’s god with the head of a monkey. The “Statue of Union” was inaugurated Aug. 18 at the Sri Ashtalakshmi Hindu Temple in Sugar Land, Texas. It depicts the Hindu god Lord Hanuman, one of the religion’s countless deities. Hanuman, a god of strength, devotion and selfless service, is most often depicted with the head and tail of a monkey. The monument stands exactly 89.7 feet tall, making it the third-tallest statue in the United States, according to the “Statue of Union” website.

For a moment on Tuesday, it was 2008 all over again at the Democratic National Convention. “I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling fired up. I am feeling ready to go,” former president Barack Obama said to open his headlining speech, harking back to his 2008 campaign chant. “I am feeling hopeful, because this convention has always been pretty good to kids with funny names who believe in a country where anything is possible.” There were the chants of “Yes, we can” and “Yes, she can.” There was the talk of “hope making a comeback,” a blatant effort by the Democrats to try to inject some of Obama’s 2008 magic

In a follow up to his nonsensical and false analysis from the previous evening, CNN’s Chris Wallace kicked off Night Two of the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday by boasting about Vice President Kamala Harris’s “love affair” with American voters. Calling it “a very interesting thing,” Wallace touted how “Joe Biden dropped out of this race 30 days ago, and that is played very much to Kamala Harris's advantage.” According to him, that advantage meant, “She's had this kind of speed dating relationship with voters and so far, it's a love affair!” Does her husband, Doug know?! The analogy falls apart when one takes into consideration that even in speed dating,

Bill Clinton joked that he didn't have many conventions left during his speech at the DNC Wednesday night, as many on social media said his voice and hands were shaky the entire time. Clinton, 78, channeled some of the relief inside the Democratic National Convention hall Wednesday when he said a 'load's off our shoulders' while praising Kamala Harris and saluted President Joe Biden for dropping out. However, many on social media noted with one of his remarks that Father Time may have finally caught up on the man from Hope, Arkansas.
U.S. Department of Labor: Oopsie, We Overcounted

For the past few days, rumors and reports have indicated that the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics was going to downwardly revise their assessment of the number of jobs created from April 2023 to March 2024 “by up to 1 million. This means that all ‘beats’ recorded in the past year will have been misses and the US job market is in far worse shape than the admin[istration] would admit.” The revision is out, and while it’s not quite a million, it’s still really darn high — 818,000 fewer jobs created in that yearlong period than were initially reported.

About a quarter of British households are so worried about their electricity bills they are considering spending next heating season without heat or hot water, a survey by Citizens Advice has suggested. The concern follows plans by the national electricity market regulator to raise the cap on bills by another 9.2%, equal to 150 pounds or $195. The Citizens Advice report said the percentage of those worried about the affordability of their electricity was substantially higher among households with children, where the percentage was 31%, and low-income households, where 39% were worried about the coming heating season.

A recent hire at the nuclear security wing of the Department of Energy has previously called for disarmament policies – which reduce or eliminate nuclear weapons – arguing that advancing "queer theory" was essential to that agenda as well as important to America's national security. The Biden-Harris administration announced Sneha Nair had been appointed as special assistant at the National Nuclear Security Administration in February 2024. Nair believes in eradicating purported "White supremacy" in the nuclear field as well as "queering nuclear weapons" as part of a diversity, equity and inclusion push she believes is essential for deterring threats to nuclear energy facilities in the U.S.
