On Monday, Breitbart<\/a> posted an article about the official platform of the Democrat party to be voted on during the Democrat Convention in Chicago.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

…it calls for reelecting President Joe Biden, who was still the candidate at the time the document was finalized in mid-July.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Biden, Vice President Harris, and Democrats are running to finish the job,\u201d it says.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Read the full, 91-page document here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The platform begins with a \u201cland acknowledgment,\u201d declaring that the convention is being held on lands once belonging to Native Americans. This is a left-wing practice that, the\u00a0Wall Street Journal<\/em> noted<\/a> last weekend, is central to the ideology behind campus anti-Israel protests \u2014 the claim that the United States and Israel are guilty of \u201csettler colonialism.\u201d This also \u201cmeans rejecting the understanding of American history that has been mainstream since the mid-20th century\u2014that it is a story of slow progress toward fulfilling the nation\u2019s founding promise of freedom for all,\u201d the\u00a0Journal<\/em> notes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Democratic platform claims Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have achieved enormous progress for Americans, and that Donald Trump \u201cis rigging our economy for his Mar-a-Lago friends and billionaire donors, who like him, are only in it for themselves.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just for the record, in January 2022, The Wall Street Journal<\/a> reported, “One of the most underreported stories of the Trump presidency is the extent to which black economic fortunes improved.” How has the Biden administration impacted black economic fortunes?<\/p>\n

The article at Breitbart notes:<\/p>\n

The platform makes a number of misleading claims, including the claim that the U.S. is \u201cfinally rebuilding \u2026 broadband\u201d as part of the administration\u2019s investment in infrastructure. Despite a $42.5 billion fund for expanding broadband under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which Harris was meant to supervise, not one<\/a> new connection has been built.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Among other highlights, the platform defends surgery and drug treatments for \u201ctransgender youth,\u201d without specifying the age at which children should be provided such surgeries. \u201cDemocrats will vigorously oppose state and federal bans on gender-affirming health care,\u201d it says. It does not mention the issue of transgender sports, and the question of biological males participating in women\u2019s sporting activities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The platform repeats the \u201cvery fine people\u201d hoax<\/a> \u2014 the false claim that Trump praised neo-Nazis in Charlottesville in 2017, when in fact he said they should be \u201ctotally\u201d condemned.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On migration and the border, the platform claims: \u201cPresident Biden has led with the conviction that we must secure our border and fix a broken immigration system decades in the making.\u201d The platform blames Republicans in Congress for rejecting Biden\u2019s proposed immigration legislation, which would legalize current migrant flows at massive levels.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

The platform also boasts that \u201cPresident Biden ended America\u2019s longest war, bringing our troops home from Afghanistan,\u201d without mentioning the disaster than ensued, including the death of 13 American troops in a terror attack during the haphazard evacuation of Kabul.<\/strong><\/p>\n
