And therefore should not exist.
The DNC 2016 party platform began by claiming that “Democrats meet in Philadelphia with the same basic belief that animated the Continental Congress when they gathered here 240 years ago.” Four years later, out went the Continental Congress and all of America.
The 2020 DNC platform began with a politically fashionable ‘land acknowledgement’ asserting that America was an illegitimate entity operating on stolen land “built on Indigenous homelands.”
The 2024 platform likewise begins with a ‘land acknowledgement’ claiming that Chicago properly belongs to 13 different Indian tribes. Once again, the DNC asserts that they “recognize that our country was built on Indigenous homelands.” That is to say America should not exist.
If the Democrats truly believe it, why not turn over Chicago to the Indian tribes?
Land acknowledgements were initiated by an Australian Marxist terrorist supporter at a counterculture festival in the 1970s. Its goal was to establish that Australians were foreigners and had to follow aboriginal laws and culture. 50 years later the practice, grounded in ‘decolonization’ has been widely adopted by American leftists and their ruling party.
Land acknowledgements are a form of historical revisionism, like the 1619 Project and destroying Columbus statues, that are paving the way for delegitimizing America.
The DNC transplanting them to Chicago demonstrates a whole new level of historical and scientific illiteracy. The Indians are not “native to this continent” unless the party’s new scientific consensus, which already believes that men can become women, also believes in separate human origins for different races (a racist 19th century belief once held by Democrats.)
Nor have they been here “since time immemorial”, but were Asian populations who crossed the Bering Strait in early human history. (The theory is unpopular with many Indian tribes.)
The DNC platform claims that Chicago was really the property of the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi, along with the Myaamia, Ho-Chunk, Menominee, Sac and Fox, Peoria, Kaskaskia, Wea, Kickapoo, and Mascouten Indians. But what actually happened to those tribes?
The Ojibwe, Odawa, Potawatomi, Fox, Kickapoo and many of the others on the list allied with the British in the War of 1812. During the war, they carried out brutal atrocities such as the Potawatomi massacre of women and children during the evacuation from Fort Dearborn. (The massacre has become politically incorrect and monuments to the victims have been removed.)
The DNC land acknowledgement boasts that it made the Prairie Band of Potawatomi the “first federally recognized Tribal Nation in Illinois in 175 years.”
The Democrat platform claims that Chicago was the “traditional homelands of the Anishinaabe, also known as the Council of the Three Fires: the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi Nations.”
That would have been news to them. --->READ MORE HERE

The Democratic Party has fully embraced the far-left’s ideological framework of America.
Democrats released their 2024 party platform this week during the Democratic National Convention. It was a sloppy mess in many places with frequent references to President Joe Biden’s “second term”—21 references by my count.
Though as I’ve written previously, we are probably headed for more of the same with Vice President Harris in the White House anyway. The presidency is becoming the ceremonial head of a vast, unaccountable bureaucratic leviathan, after all.
The sloppiness of the Democrat platform and the DNC as a whole is certainly noteworthy. But much more important is the ideological drift of the party.
In case you didn’t know what the Democratic Party most fervently stands for, the very first thing in its platform was a “land acknowledgment.”
A land acknowledgment is a performative ceremony used by institutions under the full sway of the church of wokeness. It essentially lists the various Indian tribes that assumedly passed through the land the group is standing on at the time.
It has become the Left’s substitution for the Pledge of Allegiance. The concept is, frankly, absurd. It’s as pointless as walking into your newly purchased home and listing off the names of all the previous owners, renters, visitors, and squatters.
The land acknowledgment assumption is that the tribes are gone because of the mean, rapacious United States. Though the actual history is typically far more complicated.
For instance, the Black Hills in South Dakota have been occupied by countless tribes, and not just the Lakota. The Lakota “stole” the land from the Cheyanne just a few decades before the United States acquired the region. And there are countless other tribes that could claim time in the Black Hills, too.
The Left wants to reduce this all to a morality play about the assumed moral superiority of the tribes and the greediness of the United States.
What land acknowledgments represent is less a simple recitation of history and more a statement of faith that you believe the United States, the original Constitution, and all this country was built on are illegitimate. It’s a corollary to the Left’s war on history. --->READ MORE HEREFollow link below to a relevant story:
