The Democratic National Convention in Chicago this week was one heck of a production. Less like a normal political convention and more like a glitzy Hollywood one.
With a host of A-list celebrities and B-list politicians, it felt most like the Oscars.
So in honor of this, the Academy would like to hand out a set of awards for the best performances in Chicago this week:
Best Actress — Nancy Pelosi
There really was no competition in this category. Nancy Pelosi gave the performance of a lifetime, reading every one of her lines without cracking.

Vice President Kamala Harris capped the star-studded Democratic National Convention on Thursday by vowing to unite Americans and usher in a “new way forward” — but offered little insight into her policy agenda that would achieve that.
Harris, 59, formally accepted her party’s presidential nomination in a speech that focused on her “middle-class” background and painted former President Donald Trump as an “unserious man” whose election would have “extremely serious” consequences for American democracy.
In the nearly 40-minute address, Harris leaned heavily on her childhood and her “unexpected” journey to the White House.
“America, the path that led me here in recent weeks was no doubt unexpected.

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.”
Democrats also falsely accused the former president of instructing Americans to “inject bleach” during the COVID pandemic.

If a person was forced to pick one word to describe the third night of the Democratic National Committee it would probably be “exhausting.”
It was nearly 11 pm, three hours into the prime-time portion of the day, when our monotonous Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg finally hit the DNC stage. Now, I’m not a professional political advisor, but one highly doubts that voters — most of whom would be waking up for work on Thursday – were clamoring to hear from the bungling head of the least important bureaucracy in the country.
Mayor Pete had just followed the governor of Maryland,

Love her or hate her, there is one thing about Nancy Pelosi: she gets stuff done. Most of it is atrocious on policy, but when it comes to the inner workings of the Democratic Party, she can be a savior or the grim reaper. For Joe Biden, she was the harbinger of death to his presidency. Other horsemen led the Biden White House to its apocalypse, but it seems like Pelosi was the one who fired the kill shot. The woman is lethal, which has been known to the people covering her. It’s fallen by the wayside, but she kneecapped the Squad shortly after Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was elected,

Donald Trump has enlisted the help of former Democratic Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard as he fine-tunes for his first debate against Vice President Kamala Harris.
Gabbard, 43, took part in a recent strategy session with the former president, 78, at his Mar-Lago estate ahead of his September debate against the 59-year-old Democratic nominee, according to the New York Times.
Gabbard, who at one point was on Trump’s lengthy running mate shortlist, has experience debating Harris dating back to their time as Democratic presidential primary candidates in 2019, and she unleashed a blistering attack on the then-California senator’s record as top prosecutor in the Golden State in one of their showdowns.

Former President Donald Trump has supported school choice and has said "parents must have a voice in their child's education."

The difference between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris in November could not be clearer when it comes to education.
Trump believes parents are the primary decision-makers for their children and supports the money following the child to the school that best meets their needs and aligns with their family’s values.
In a May Truth Social post, President Trump said, “School Choice is the CIVIL RIGHTS ISSUE of our time, and parents must have a voice in their child’s education! When I am your President again, I will protect Parental Rights, support Teachers,

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is pushing his state’s university system to look into former University of Florida (UF) President Ben Sasse’s expenses in the wake of reporting from a student newspaper on the subject.
“We take the stewardship of state funds very seriously and have already been in discussions with leadership at the university and with the Board of Governors to look into the matter,” Bryan Griffin, a communications director for DeSantis, said in an emailed statement sent Thursday to The Hill.

Zelensky also said that Ukraine has captured more than 80 settlements in the Kursk region, which his troops advanced into on Aug. 6.
“I thank every warrior of ours who ensures all this,” Zelensky said in a video address.
Russian officials disputed that Ukraine had taken complete control of the town, with Maj. Gen. Apti Alaudinov, head of the Main Military-Political Directorate of the Russian Defense Ministry, going on national television.
“There are still some of our formations remaining in Sudzha,” Alaudinov said, according to state-run media.

In this presidential election year, it is time to do the math.
Not the traditional math of counting electors, calculating swing states voters, or debating polling data. No. It's time to do the math regarding the profound and stunning increase in the number of new citizens who will be eligible to vote in this year's exercise in democracy.
According to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) the fiscal year 2022 saw one million new citizens sworn in, citing it as the highest number of naturalizations in nearly 15 years.

Representative Clay Higgins is a member of the congressional investigative task force looking into the assassination attempt by Thomas Matthew Crooks against President Trump. Rep Higgins was also doing independent research prior to his appointment to the congressional committee, and he released his preliminary report findings today [SEE HERE pdf].
There are some remarkable revelations in the 6-page pdf. One detail outlines how it was a Butler County SWAT officer who fired the initial shot that stopped Matthew Crooks after 8 shots fired. The Feds did not initially stop the assassin, the locals did.

For Cristina Hineman, the situation felt urgent: the 17-year-old needed treatment at Planned Parenthood, where she knew she wouldn’t be subjected to humiliating questions, or an unnecessary waiting period, or lectures, or prying about her certainty. But it wasn’t an abortion she sought. It was testosterone.
Planned Parenthood was founded a century ago to promote birth control. Today, its nearly 600 clinics nationwide make it the largest single provider of abortion, contraception, reproductive care, and sex education in the U.S.
