Inviting Nikki Haley To The RNC Was The Unity Move Trump Needed

Published

on

As the Republican convention kicks off this week in Milwaukee, the program will sound very different, not only from its originally planned content, but from every political convention that has yet preceded it. Democrats had hoped just a month or two ago that former President Trump would trundle onto the convention stage hobbled by legal convictions and poor favorability, or perhaps even join it remotely from prison after one or more humiliating sentencings. Instead, the stage will now feature an entirely different candidate: Trump risen from the ashes, a fist-pumping, rough-riding Teddy Roosevelt with a bandaged ear and a fresh orange glow.

The former President will rightfully savor his moment of survival before being smothered with his new vice-presidential pick by an avalanche of colored balloons and well-wishes. Before that happens, however, in another notable reversal of the program prior to the shooting, it was announced this weekend that the stage will now also be welcoming Trump’s most recent challenger for the nomination, former U.N. Ambassador and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley.

While true that the days of delegate swaps and coalition forging over cigars and handshakes are long since over, there are still deals to be made on a convention floor. In the modern era, these deals are more about exchanging patronage for promotion and forgiveness for support, helping unite attendees and viewers behind a single candidate that will bear its message in the fall. For the winner of the primary contests, it’s an opportunity to shore up support

Tax-Funded Group Offering $30,000 For Non-Citizen Homebuyers In Oregon: Report

Published

on

A taxpayer-funded development group is reportedly offering $30,000 for down payment assistance to non-citizen residents in Oregon. American citizens need not apply.

On Wednesday, the Daily Caller reported the Hacienda Community Development Corp. is doling out the benefits for new migrant homebuyers through the group’s “Camino a Casa program.”

“Clients work closely with financial coaches and HUD-certified housing counselors throughout the entirety of the home-buying process,” the program website reads. “In addition to mortgage readiness and financial fitness workshops, we provide various opportunities for down-payment assistance.”

What do you think Oregon friends? Should non citizens and undocumented citizens be given $30,000 for down payments to buy a home here in the state of Oregon? Check out the requirements! ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/riGm6AuMGJ

— Oregon Citizen (@oregoncitizen_) August 9, 2024

Non-citizen status is required for eligibility to participate in the taxpayer funded program, according to a resident post on X by Oregon Citizen. State Rep. Ed Diehl, R-Ore., told the Daily Caller he confirmed with a local business group that citizens were excluded, despite Americans coping with “a severe housing shortage in this state.”

“Hacienda CDC is partially funded through the Economic Equity Investment Program (EEIP), an equity-based beneficiary project established through the Economic Equity Investment Act (SB 1579), which the Oregon legislature passed in 2022,” the Daily Caller reported. “The organization receives millions in Oregon state taxpayer money and federal taxes through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), according to its recent annual report.”

Everything Kamala Harris Said About Abortion In Her DNC Speech Was A Lie

Published

on

In an attempt to cover up her own abortion extremism, Vice President Kamala Harris laced her Democratic National Convention speech with lies accusing former President Donald Trump and Republicans of being radicals whose views are out of line with most of the country.

Harris reaffirmed from the stage in Chicago on Thursday night that she believes anyone should be allowed to end their baby’s life through all nine months of pregnancy for any reason. Most Americans oppose Democrats’ unlimited abortion agenda, but that didn’t stop Harris from pretending Americans desire the death and danger that comes with her plan to pass legislation that would codify baby-killing until birth.

“And when Congress passes a bill to restore reproductive freedom, as President of the United States, I will proudly sign it into law,” Harris declared

Harris’ first lie was claiming that a national law greenlighting widespread abortion would “restore reproductive freedom” instead of accurately noting that it would subject thousands of babies and women, nearly 70 percent of whom felt their abortions were forced, unwanted, or contradicted their views, to harm.

Ever since the Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson decision, Democrats have falsely claimed that doctors are no longer permitted to treat ectopic pregnancies or miscarriages. Harris specifically told her DNC audience on Thursday, however, that the lifesaving laws designed to protect thousands of innocents every year from elective abortions prevent women suffering from spontaneous pregnancy loss or complications from receiving the care they need.

CISA Censors Join Forces With Private Groups To Target So-Called Election ‘Misinformation’

Published

on

A federal agency with a record of online censorship is working with private groups to stop so-called “misinformation” ahead of November’s presidential election. 

The Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) – the federal government’s hub for online censorship — has been working with private groups since 2018 in an initiative dubbed the Election Infrastructure Subsector Coordinating Council (SCC), and boasts that its “collaboration” with “private sector partners is unprecedented.”

“CISA coordinates support for these election infrastructure partners across the federal government, with our state and local partners, and with the private sector to help them reduce cyber, physical, and operational security risks to election infrastructure,” a CISA representative said to The Federalist.

The SCC uses a “unified government and private sector approach,” working with a Government Coordinating Council (GCC) for “information-sharing and risk mitigation” before the election, according to a 2024 update on the councils’ work hosted by CISA online.

The document warns of “risks” from “false or misleading information about election administration.”

CISA noted so-called “misinformation campaigns” in 2022, and claimed they “exacerbated” a “threat environment for targeted violence.” A 2024 “Homeland Threat Assessment” by CISA’s parent agency warned that such unapproved speech would carry the “potential for violence or threats directed at government officials, voters, and elections-related personnel and infrastructure.”

The SCC and GCC have been telling “election stakeholders” to do things like create websites to “provide accurate information” and “dispel false information,” according to CISA’s 2024 update, which noted these efforts are “expected to
