Did you hear that, America? Vice President Kamala Harris says, “The consequences of putting Donald Trump back in the White House are extremely serious.” Extremely serious consequences. She sounded more like a vice principal than a vice president.
The only people who ever warn about extremely serious consequences are those who lack the power to impose them. It is a phrase used by high school administrators, HR ladies, and other figures of pseudo-authority who have to put on grave faces in order to stop the person on the other side of the desk from laughing.

Will the real Kamala Harris please stand up? Promises to “chart a new path forward” and “be a president for all Americans” are so boilerplate, they ought to be outlawed.
After three nights of political hosannas in which she was depicted as a cross between Eliot Ness and Mother Teresa, Harris finally took the floor to speak for herself Thursday night.
She spoke well and forcefully and electrified the Chicago convention hall, but color me as confused as ever. Other than not being Donald Trump or Joe Biden, who is she?
What does she really believe and what would she do as president?
If she knows the answers, she’s keeping them a secret.

When Joe Biden picked Kamala Harris as his running mate four years ago, he said he did so because she could assume the office “on day one.” More than 30 days after becoming the presumptive nominee, Harris still does not seem ready to be the Democratic Party’s nominee, let alone president. She is an empty pantsuit, basking in the glow of positive media coverage and unburdened by accountability.
Her acceptance speech confirmed that. Harris has now officially accepted the Democratic Party’s nomination. Her nomination was “historic,” as liberals like to say, but not because of her ethnicity. Rather,

Does anybody else feel like we’re navigating a deep spiritual divide in America? In addition to officially nominating and affirming its presidential candidate, political conventions serve as a snapshot of its party’s overarching priorities, principles and passions — a united declaration, and an unapologetic defense of its platform.
If that’s the case, the Democratic National Convention in Chicago is making loud and clear that for its party and its candidates, nationwide access to abortion transcends every other issue. This ongoing obsession with the willful destruction of human life represents a sobering chapter in American history — and one that ominously foreshadows dark and difficult times to come.

Former President Donald Trump, as part of a live thread on Truth Social, blasted the Democratic National Convention speech of Vice President Kamala Harris in a variety of posts including one after she concluded talking about what she "didn't mention." "She didn’t mention China, she didn’t mention fracking, she didn’t mention Energy, she didn’t mention, meaningfully, Russia and Ukraine, she didn’t mention the big subjects of the day, that are destroying our Country," Trump posted on Truth Social shortly after Harris' speech concluded.
The former president posted several criticisms of Harris during the speech on several issues. "There are 60 million people in poverty in the U.S., under their watch,

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz reportedly pioneered the "weird" taunt against JD Vance. That's increasingly looking like an acute manifestation of projection. As we learn more about the wave of lies and distortions promulgated by Walz, another word that comes to mind is 'pathological.' The Democrats may have just put one serial embellisher and fabricator out to pasture, in Joe Biden, but it seems they've added another one to their presidential ticket. Walz has exaggerated, distorted, and outright lied about his military service, including his final rank at retirement. He's been called on it for years, by military brethren up and down his chain of command.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi insisted in a new interview that she wanted an "open process" to replace President Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket but Vice President Kamala Harris "took advantage" of the opportunity. "Many of us who were concerned about the election wanted to have an open process. It was an open process, anyone could have gotten in," Pelosi said during an interview with The Wall Street Journal.

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to address the nation about his path forward in the presidential race Friday from Phoenix, Arizona. Kennedy’s press secretary, Stefanie Spear, posted the announcement about "the present historic moment and his path forward" on social media on Wednesday afternoon.
The announcement comes after Kennedy’s running mate, Nicole Shanahan, blasted Democrats on Tuesday, saying she "fully supports" a role for Kennedy in a future Trump administration. Shanahan also hinted that they could end their campaign and back former President Trump.
Coincidentally, Trump is holding an Arizona rally on Friday in Glendale, which is about 20 minutes from Phoenix.

Teamsters President Sean O’Brien is addressing the Democratic National Convention (DNC) for reportedly snubbing him following his historic speech at the Republican National Convention (RNC) last month. O’Brien, a self-proclaimed "lifelong Democrat," argued that the convention "failed to invite one of the most powerful unions" in the U.S., and for that, they would be criticized.
"You know, the reality is they didn’t invite us, and we’ve been around [for] 121 years. We’re going to continue to be around for 121 years," he said Tuesday during his appearance on "Your World with Neil Cavuto."

Not only do Democrats fashion themselves the protectors of “democracy,” they claim to be champions of decency.
Well, if the second day of the Democratic National Convention is any indication, the left doesn’t have any claim to the moral high ground.
For one thing, no one at the DNC seemed even mildly constrained by the truth. More than once, for instance, Democrats falsely claimed that former President Donald Trump had referred to the tiki torch Nazis of Charlottesville as “very fine people.”

Vice President Kamala Harris has not released a policy page on her campaign website to detail her positions on key issues such as the economy and immigration, sparking the Trump campaign to create and release a platform website for her, Fox News Digital exclusively learned. "Kamala Harris has yet to tell voters what her policies are, so we thought we’d help them out. Kamala Harris wants to open the borders, raise taxes, and free criminals," a Trump campaign national press secretary told Fox News Digital about the website. Kamala2024policies.com launched Wednesday morning on the third day of the DNC and takes viewers to a website declaring, "Kamala Harris' dangerous policies

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate, Nicole Shanahan, blasted Democrats on Tuesday and said she "fully supports" a role for Kennedy in a future Trump administration. The entrepreneur and attorney appeared on "Fox News @ Night," where she was asked if the Kennedy-Shanahan ticket would remain in the race on the heels of news-making remarks that they may end their campaign and endorse former President Trump.
"It’s Bobby’s decision. I came into this supporting him wholeheartedly to win this election. I have to say there’s only one party that has obstructed a fair election for us, and unfortunately it was the Democratic Party," Shanahan told Trace Gallagher.
