Alan Dershowitz leaves Democratic Party,
cites DNC: 'I was disgusted'
Posted By: Moritz55, 9/7/2024 1:49:10 AM
Prominent attorney Alan Dershowitz announced his departure from the Democratic Party, citing several "anti-Jewish" lawmakers that make up the ranks of the party and the recent Democratic National Convention in which Vice President Kamala Harris became the party's presidential nominee. Speaking with radio host Zev Brenner on "Talkline with Zev Brenner," Dershowitz cited the DNC, which he said gave legitimacy to anti-Israel speakers, and anti-Israel protesters outside the gathering. "It was the most anti-Jewish, anti-Israel, anti-Zionist convention I've experienced," he said. "I was disgusted at the Democratic National Convention. Absolutely disgusted.”

In a revealing interview on "Meet the Press" on Sunday, Senator Bernie Sanders (S-Vt.) said the quiet part out loud, proving what many conservatives have been saying for weeks now: Kamala Harris’s sudden attempt to shift toward the center is nothing more than a political charade to win votes, not a genuine change of ideology. When pressed by host Kristen Welker on Harris’s reversal of key progressive positions—like her prior support for Medicare for All and a ban on fracking—Sanders’s response said it all. Welker asked Sanders directly if Harris was abandoning her progressive ideals, noting that these were issues Sanders himself has championed. Instead
In 1968, in the midst Democratic convention riots, Chicago Mayor Richard Daley famously declared, “The policeman isn’t there to create disorder; the policeman is there to preserve disorder.”
Democratic state election officials appear to have adopted a similar approach to the upcoming election. In states such as North Carolina and Michigan, Democrats are fighting to keep the name of Robert Kennedy, Jr. on the ballot even though he withdrew from the race and endorsed former president Donald Trump. These are key states where the misplacement of even 1 percent of votes could turn the outcome of not just the state but the entire election.

If Harris’s lead in the Blue Wall states lasts until Election Day, she will garner 270 electoral votes, even if she loses all the other swing states.
In recent elections, not just individual polls but also poll averages have turned out to be misleading.
Differences between final averages and actual results usually have reflected underestimates of Trump’s vote share more than overestimates of support for Democratic candidates.
Thousands of Colombians were forced to walk to work on Tuesday, as truckers in major cities blocked highways to protest a recent increase in the price of diesel fuel.
Truckers unions have said that plans by the government to eliminate diesel fuel subsidies would push their businesses to the brink of bankruptcy, while the administration of left-wing President Gustavo Petro argues it must phase out subsidies to cut a growing budget deficit and direct more funds to education and health.
On Saturday, the government raised the price of diesel fuel to around $2.90 per gallon, an increase of 50 cents, following numerous meetings with truckers unions.
Former President Donald Trump said in an interview with the Washington Examiner that his message to undecided voters in Pennsylvania ahead of November’s general election is that his administration would bring prosperity to Pennsylvanians through common-sense approaches to energy, border security, and strengthening manufacturing.
“We are going to bring the cost down on energy, and that is going to bring down the cost of everything,” Trump said.
The former president added that he wants voters to know he would take the country to a better place not just on costs but on the massive influx of illegal immigrants who have crossed the southern border since the beginning of the Biden-Harris administration.

In her one and only interview of the presidential campaign, Kamala Harris claimed she is “very proud” of the economy she and Joe Biden have presided over for almost four years.
Her rosy view of their management of inflation echoes Biden’s tone-deaf boasts about what a great job he’s done, while Americans struggle to pay for groceries.
“I’m very proud of the work that we have done that has brought inflation down to less than 3%,” Harris told CNN last week.
Polling is a useful tool in politics, if somewhat blunt and slow, and this weekend Democrats were taking no small comfort in an ABC/Ipsos survey showing Kamala Harris leading Donald Trump by 4 points nationally. But the important thing about this poll is not the margin. After all, Rasmussen has Trump up by 2 points. Nobody knows which is right. What’s important is that on Aug. 13, this same ABC poll also showed Harris up 4. Put another way, Harris' momentum isn’t just gone, it's been gone for a while.
Vice President Kamala Harris raised eyebrows during her Labor Day rally in Detroit, Michigan, unveiling what critics call a new "accent." Harris spent her Monday holiday in the Motor City hoping to shore up blue-collar union workers in the critical battleground state that she wants to keep blue in the November election.
"You better thank a union member for the five-day work week," Harris told the crowd with a noticeable shift in her dialect. "You better thank a union member for sick leave. You better thank a union member for paid leave. You better thank a union member for vacation time."
Credit where it’s due: It takes serious chutzpah to gaslight an entire nation. That’s what progressives did last week at the Democratic National Convention when they tried to seize the mantle of freedom. A political movement that has, for more than a century, been explicitly devoted to taxing, regulating, mandating, and surveilling is making a big push to rebrand. Don’t fall for it. Progressivism remains as wedded as ever to empowering bureaucrats to control countless aspects of everyday life, unhindered by democratic accountability.
Conservatives, not progressives, are the true defenders of freedom.
The U.S. government has seized a plane used by Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro that officials say was illegally purchased through a shell company and smuggled out of the United States, citing violations of sanctions and export control laws.
The Dassault Falcon 900EX was seized in the Dominican Republic and transferred to the custody of federal officials in Florida, the Justice Department said Monday.
U.S. officials say associates of the Venezuelan leader used a Caribbean-based shell company to hide their involvement in the purchase of the plane, valued at the time at $13 million, from a company in Florida.
Six weeks after he ended his re-election campaign amid rising calls from his own party to drop out of the race, President Biden returns to the campaign trail for the first time on Monday. It will be the first of a "robust" schedule of campaign appearances by the president on behalf of Vice President Kamala Harris over the next two months, a White House official tells Fox News.
"President Biden will be leaning in heavily over the next several months to finish the job," White House communications director Ben LaBolt said.

Top Harris surrogate, far-left Georgia Democrat Senator Raphael Warnock, appeared on Meet the Press with Kristen Welker on Sunday morning to endorse this overt attack on Americans.
Despite Democrat water carrier Welker uncharacteristically pushing Warnock for an answer, he did the Democratic politician shuffle and refused to be pinned down to a simple, clear yes or no answer.
Kristen Welker: Should she also be, in your opinion, supporting a mandatory gun buyback program?
Liberals have hit out at Donald Trump after he vowed to prosecute election 'cheaters' if he wins in November.

For a state built on the selling point of unlimited freedom, California sure has a lot of authoritarians making laws.
The state legislature passed a bill that requires all cars built after 2030 to give a beep when the driver exceeds the speed limit by 10 MPH. Violations of the law wouldn't carry just a fine. The state would consider speeding 10 MPH over the limit a crime.
California state Sen. Scott Wiener was surprised by the vicious pushback from citizens to the bill. However, the current language of the bill has been modified considerably from the original text.
Every state is a border state under the Biden-Harris Administration—even a small town in Ohio with a population of just 56,000.
Springfield, Ohio, is making headlines after it was reported that illegal immigrants— specifically Haitian immigrants, are overrunning the small town. Springfield City Commission officials say an estimated 4,000 to 7,000 Haitians have arrived in recent years.
During a City Commission meeting last year, community members warned of an invasion of Haitians and the crime they would bring— and they weren’t wrong.
This week, a Springfield resident told the mayor that she "can't take it anymore,”

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) announced it flew banners over college football games in an attempt to tie former President Donald Trump and his vice presidential running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) to Project 2025.
In a press release on Saturday, the DNC announced banners with messages that read, “JD Vance <3 Ohio State + Project 2025,” and “Penn St: Beat Trump, Sack Project 2025,” had been flown over football games at the University of Michigan and Pennsylvania State University. Another banner, with the message, “Jump Around! Beat Trump + Project 2025,” was also set to be “flown over” the football game at the University of Wisconsin.

A group of Hollywood celebrities — including Disney-Marvel star Mark Ruffalo, HBO’s Sex and the City actress Cynthia Nixon, and two-time Oscar winner Mahershala Ali — is claiming that arms exports to Israel are “illegal” as part of their latest push for a ceasefire in Gaza.
The stars co-signed a new call to action from the group Artists for Ceasefire that alleges that the shipment of arms to Israel violates U.S. and international law because Israel engages in what it called “grave human rights violations.”
Among those alleged violations are “striking schools or hospitals, restricting humanitarian aid, and killing children,” the organization said.
True the Vote the first citizen voter integrity group in the 21st century, was started by Catherine Engelbrecht in 2009. At the time, she had been managing a manufacturing plant that supplied parts to the oil and gas industry in Texas for eleven years. Interviewed last month Patriots with Grit, she explained, “I had never been interested in politics, but after ‘09, I found government was everywhere, my kids school, health care, oil and gas, regulations out of control. How could citizens engage?”
Engelbrecht hasn’t been out of court one day since 09, and the pretty blond country club woman today has the stripped down looks of a real fighter.
If you’re familiar with my background with blogging, you know that twenty years ago, I ran a blog called Blogs For Bush to support the Bush-Cheney ticket. I wouldn't be here at PJ Media today had it not been for that experience. So, it was particularly crushing to learn that former Vice President Dick Cheney has endorsed Kamala Harris. "In our nation's 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump," Cheney said in a statement. "He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him.
Tim Walz Got Caught Lying Again

It's Friday, so obviously there's another Tim Walz claim from his biography we have discovered is a lie. According to a new report, the latest fiction from Walz involves his academic credentials. Despite his claims of almost becoming “Dr. Walz,” official records paint a different picture.
"As recently as 2011, Tim Walz claimed in official biographies for his campaign and congressional office that he was on the verge of completing a doctorate in education, a decade after he enrolled in a doctorate program at St. Mary’s University of Minnesota in the small town of Winona," reports The Washington Free Beacon. "The university, however, told the Washington Free Beacon
Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) made headlines recently for endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for president, with her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, doing the same just a few days later. On Friday, the former congresswoman made another endorsement, this time in the U.S. Senate race for Texas. While speaking at an event for the Texas Tribune, Cheney endorsed Rep. Colin Allred, the Democrat running against Republican Sen. Ted Cruz in November.
"Here in Texas, you guys do have a tremendous, serious candidate running for the United States Senate," Cheney said, referring to Allred. "I'll be working on his behalf."
Former President George W. Bush has made an announcement about the 2024 presidential election in November - but he's taking a less prominent stance than his vice president.
Bush, a Republican who served from 2001 to 2009, said in a statement Saturday that he has no plans to make a public endorsement or voice how he or his wife Laura will be voting.
'He retired from presidential politics many years ago,' the spokesman said, who did not wish to be named.The video player is currently playing an ad. You can skip the ad in 5 sec with a mouse or keyboard

MSNBC wants people to ditch Twitter/X. One of their columnists is even urging people to take ‘collective action’ to get people to stop using the application. In the process, the writer takes multiple unfair shots at Elon Musk.
It’s a good thing Musk bought Twitter. He brought free speech back to the social media site and the left will never forgive him for it.
In a way, this is just like the ongoing tantrum the left is throwing about the U.S. Supreme Court. They are angry at Twitter/X because they no longer control it.
