Tracking The Lies Of The Left At The DNC
The Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago commenced with an atmosphere of enthusiasm, signaling the party’s eagerness for the upcoming general election. However, notable controversies surrounded the event, particularly involving Vice President Kamala Harris’s choice for a running mate, Tim Walz. He was mistakenly introduced as “Command Sergeant Major” despite not having completed the necessary coursework to hold that title, and allegations of his departure from the military during a critical moment were highlighted.
While Politico described the party as “lacking drama,” tensions loomed as President Joe Biden was removed from the ticket, and security measures were heightened due to protests by pro-Palestinian demonstrators. Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker announced the deployment of the National Guard to maintain order amidst these protests, which occurred even before the convention’s formal proceedings.
The underlying discontent among leading Democrats regarding the decision to replace Biden was palpable, with reports indicating widespread frustration within the party as they prepared for a united front. the convention opened amid a mix of optimism and brewing unrest both inside and outside the venue.
Democrats kicked off their convention in Chicago with all the fanfare of a rejuvenated party eager for the general election — having escaped any and all critical press interviews of the two candidates leading the ticket.

Politico Celebrates ‘A Party Lacking Drama’ at DNC Kickoff
Politico reported Democrats arrived for their nominating convention on Monday in Chicago as “a party lacking in drama” even though President Joe Biden was booted from the ticket and organizers are struggling to manage pro-Palestinian demonstrators who’ve already interrupted events.
“Democrats,” Politico reported, “are disciplined, orderly and united around Vice President Kamala Harris and, more to the point, thwarting former President Donald Trump’s restoration.”
Chicago protests, however, erupted in the nation’s third-largest city even before the start of the Democrats’ convention, with “hundreds” of anti-Israeli demonstrators crowding city streets and forcing road closures on the eve of the event.
Illinois Democrat Gov. J.B. Pritzker announced the preemptive deployment of the National Guard to assist with security, confirming the likelihood of political unrest as thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered in Chicago’s Union Park on Monday and some have already interrupted official DNC programming.
Top Democrats, meanwhile, are still harboring resentment over the way Democrats removed the incumbent commander-in-chief from the top of the ticket as the convention gets underway.
“Top Democrats are bristling with resentments even as they are about to try to put on a united front at the United Center in the Windy City,” New York Times opinion writer Maureen Dowd reported over the weekend, adding that “everyone’s mad at one another.”
DNC Platform Endorses Biden’s ‘Second Term’
Four weeks after President Joe Biden was successfully pushed off the ticket, the Democrat Party’s 91-page platform, unveiled on the eve of the nominating convention, endorsed his “second term” in the White House.
“In President Biden’s second term,” the official platform reads, “he will push Congress to pass legislation that is consistent with our values as a nation.”
Biden, however, will be in California as Vice President Kamala Harris formally accepts the party’s nomination on Thursday night.
DNC Platform Blames Republicans for Biden’s Border Crisis
While celebrating plans for the wrong candidate, the DNC platform also blames Republicans for the border crisis after lawmakers rejected the package negotiated between Democrats and Republican Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma.
“Congressional Republicans,” the platform reads, “are currently blocking President Biden’s bipartisan border security proposals because they lack the courage to stand up to Trump.”
But the proposal shot down last winter was little more than a rubber stamp of congressional approval for the ongoing crisis, with 5,000 crossings legalized per day plus asylum for all.
