Joe Biden was, on some level, wrapping up his political career during his DNC speech on Monday night. He had expected to give the keynote address on Thursday. That was before the coup, when he was shoved aside and replaced by Kamala Harris as the nominee. So, you can imagine he's not a happy camper when it comes to that.
It was perhaps appropriate that the day was a mess with protesters breaching the security fence, attacking the police, and getting arrested. Then, Biden made weird comments about former President Donald Trump, claiming his "stability" was still a question. Um, Joe? It isn't Trump whose stability is in question

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made her entrance on the stage of the Democrat National Convention in Chicago to Sara Bareilles' song, "Brave," followed by a standing ovation and a ton of applause. Next to AOC's speech, this was the most energy exhibited at what has been a fairly lackluster Night 1 of the DNC.
Clinton noted the rise in energy.
Wow. There's a lot of energy in this room, just like there is across the country! Something, something is happening in America! You can feel it. Something we've worked for and dreamed of for a long time.
First, though, let's salute President Biden.

A poll shows former President Donald Trump leading Vice President Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania on the eve of the Democratic National Convention (DNC).
Surveying 800 likely voters between August 18 and 19, 2024, with a ± 3.5 percent margin of error, the Insider Advantage poll shows Trump besting Harris by just one point — 47 percent to 46 percent. As Breitbart News reported on Monday, the poll comes just before the former president mounts a major offensive in battleground states like Pennsylvania, which will likely have an effect on the polling over the next month in lead up to the November election.

Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton took shots at her former political rival during her speech at the Democratic National Convention on Monday evening, at one point even presiding over a “lock him up” chant from the crowd of assembled delegates.
Like many of the convention speakers before her, Clinton emphasized Trump’s recent hush-money conviction, prompting a raucous “lock him up” chant from the crowd of assembled delegates, a reference to the 2016 “lock her up” chant popular at Trump rallies.
“Donald Trump fell asleep at his own trial and when he woke up he made his own kind of history: the first person to run for history

Harley-Davidson on Monday said it is ditching some of its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) goals, a move that comes after it faced pressure from anti-diversity critics on social media.
The iconic motorcycle manufacturer follows John Deere & Co. and Tractor Supply, which both made similar decisions to scratch their diversity programs earlier this summer.
In a message posted to X, Milwaukee-based Harley-Davidson said it currently has no "DEI function" and has not operated such a program since April 2024. The company added that it has no hiring quotas and no longer has "supplier diversity spend

WASHINGTON — U.S. intelligence officials said Monday they were confident that Iran was responsible for the hack of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, casting the cyber intrusion as part of a brazen and broader effort by Tehran to interfere in American politics and undermine faith in democratic institutions.
Although the Trump campaign and private-sector cybersecurity investigators had previously said Iran was behind the hacking attempts, it was the first time the U.S. government had assigned blame for the attack.
The joint statement from the FBI and other federal agencies also indicated that Iran was responsible for attempts to hack Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign, saying hackers had “sought access

To the casual election observer, there's a natural tendency to assume that when one political candidate rises in the polls, his or her opponent falls. While that's often the case, it's not always the case. The latter appears to be true in multiple respected national polls on the Trump-Harris race.
Kamala Harris’ rise in the polls isn’t due to a wave of voters abandoning Donald Trump, but rather, Democrats and Independents who were reluctant to vote for Joe Biden who are giving Harris a new look. Unfortunately, that new look is tightly controlled by the liberal lapdog media, who continue to all but hide Harris in witness-protection-like

It’s less noticed and discussed that Kamala Harris’ refusal to do sit-down on-camera interviews or press conferences, but her running mate, Tim Walz, hasn’t done a single one, either. (No, an on-camera chat with Harris about “white guy tacos” does not count. The San Francisco Chronicle labeled that an “interview,” even though the two candidates were talking to each other.)
Think about it, Harris has been the de facto nominee for almost a month, and Walz has been Harris’ running mate for nearly two weeks now. Neither one has done a single interview or press conference – no sit down with 60 Minutes, no meeting

While Democrats party as they coronate Vice President Kamala Harris in Chicago this week, former President Donald Trump’s campaign is going on offense in the battleground states.
Trump has major events planned every day of the week, focusing on drawing a contrast between the radical views of Democrats like Harris and Republicans like him. “The Trump campaign is going full bore against the Kamala campaign and highlighting all the disastrous policies she implemented for the last four years,” a Trump campaign official told Breitbart News. “She can’t hide from her radical record.”

Kamala Harris was cruising to victory — if the press was to be believed — running a "vibes" campaign with less content than a hobo's day-old can of Sterno. So why did she make a hard left turn just days before her re-anointment as the Democratic presidential nominee?
("Re-anointment" because, this year, the DNC is nothing more than "democratic" window-dressing over the vape-filled room cabal that made her the nominee after forcing President Joe Biden out.)
In case you missed it, Harris on Friday unveiled her economic agenda, which amounts to the federal takeover of pretty much the entire economy in the name of fighting "price-gouging." How those would work in practice

The Democrats have a weird way of being unifying and uplifting; they think that if they demonize half of the American electorate, they are somehow inspiring. We saw it with Hillary’s “Basket of Deplorables” and Obama’s disgust with Americans who “cling to guns or religion.” Such elitist hatred reared its head again with Biden’s 2022 “Red Speech,” where he invoked Third Reich-like theatrics and accused Republicans of being a force that “threatens the very foundations of our republic….”
He was just as divisive in his 2024 State of the Union speech, where he basically called Supreme Court justices enemies of the nation.

Sunday was a banner day for the Harris campaign. After weeks of carefully curated events, the vice president turned presidential nominee went off-script multiple times, reminding Americans why they once ranked her the most unpopular major politician in the country.
After delivering a word salad on the "duality of democracy," a line she's used many times before, she then explained to a high school football team that they can be "undefeated" even if they don't win a game. It was vintage Kamala Harris, punctuated by a visit to a gas station that left people wincing. I don't know about you, but I was going to vote for no price controls,
