Brace yourselves, Chicago. You are in for a wild, wild week.

We here at Victory Girls have been talking for months about how this year’s Democratic National Convention was shaping up to be a repeat of the 1968 DNC, which was also held in Chicago. We’ve also known that the Biden administration really wanted to have a ceasefire deal done because they very much wanted to avoid the optics of being protested by their pro-Hamas far left (you know, the people Biden has been trying to placate, and that Kamala Harris also attempted to pander to just a week and a half ago).

As we have learned, that pandering did not work. The protesters are still going to show up, in spades, to the DNC.

The main organization corralling more than 200 groups to protest at the convention, March on the DNC 2024, met for about half an hour the day Harris announced her candidacy. The meeting was to consider whether to move forward with the same confrontational approach they had aimed at President Joe Biden, who they dubbed “Genocide Joe” for his policies on Israel.

Harris, despite being part of the Biden administration, was seen by some as being more sympathetic to the pro-Palestinian cause and made a forceful case for a cease-fire deal after meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netantyahu.

“We all came to a consensus that it’s not going to make a difference, that [Harris] represents this administration,” said Hatem Abudayyeh, chair of the U.S. Palestinian Community Network. “We’re going to stay full steam ahead.”

And he noted, his organization referred to Harris as “Killer Kamala” even before she topped the ticket and continues to push for harsher restrictions on the Israeli government, like an arms embargo — something that a top Harris adviser has said she doesn’t support.

“Killer Kamala”? Yes, you read that right. Imagine how the media would absolutely howl if Donald Trump had come up with that one.

The pro-Hamas crowd is going to make a mess of Chicago – and they even got the permits to do it! – because, of course, far-left Mayor Brandon Johnson agrees with these protesters. And they got started on Sunday, at the *checks notes* pro-abortion march and rally.

The march for “Bodies Outside of Unjust Laws” is organized by a national coalition of activist groups advocating for “bodily autonomy” — on issues ranging from abortion access, LGBTQ rights and safeguarding Palestinian lives in Gaza.

An organizer of the march, Linda Loew, told The Associated Press (AP) that the push for reproductive safety is international, and marchers will also protest the money that the U.S. spends overseas that could be used for health care at home.

Lisa covered the Planned Parenthood mobile vasectomy/abortion camper that will be at the DNC, along with “Freeda Womb.” But did you know that “reproductive justice” will totally lead to a “free Palestine”?

There is no cause that the pro Hamas movement isn't willing to twist just to gain allies in support of terrorism.

News flash: There's no women's rights, trans rights, abortion rights, or any other rights in Gaza. Stop pretending that you share anything in common with terrorists.

There are not enough facepalms in the world to cover this. But do we have enough popcorn? Democrats have realized that they have created a protest monster, and the day has come for them to be eaten at the DNC. No wonder there are elected officials begging the protesters to consider the candidates… and the optics.

Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson on Sunday urged pro-Palestinian protesters to compare the policies of both parties’ major candidates before launching a full-forced attack on Vice President Harris at the Democratic National Convention this week in Chicago.

In an interview on NewsNation’s “The Hill Sunday,” Chris Stirewalt asked whether demonstrations at the convention could risk “alienating rather than encouraging support in your party for their cause.”

“I think that what’s important right now is to understand that there’s a binary choice for president of the United States right now,” Johnson told Stirewalt. “It’s either going to be the former president, Mr. Trump, or it’s going to be the vice president, Kamala Harris. And I would look at their policies and their standing as it relates to addressing this issue. The Democrats have called for a lasting peace in Israel and in Gaza. They are working to make sure that humanitarian relief is provided to Palestinians.”

Johnson encouraged Democratic protesters to consider the alternative before targeting Harris.

Well, they’re not listening. They have their slogan, they have the stickers printed, and the target is “Killer Kamala.”

The protests are going to be on the inside and the outside.

They are now surrounding Navy Pier.

Their sign says “Killer Kamala Gazas Speaking” in response to her telling the pro-Hamas crowd she was speaking at her rally the other week.

Stay tuned. Chicago is going to get crazy. https://t.co/g4sZXfNKv8 pic.twitter.com/X2MVI9x6Ih

The proverbial gauntlet is being thrown down by the pro-Hamas protesters. Either Kamala Harris and the DNC bow to their wishes, or they will make the optics look horrible. They will not accept pandering behind the scenes by Kamala Harris or Tim Walz. They want a full public embrace of their hatred of Israel. And if they don’t get it? Look out, DNC and Chicago.

Tonight, Joe Biden is supposed to give his “farewell address” and receive the accolades of the DNC for “stepping down.” What happens if the protesters, some of whom we know are among the “uncommitted” delegates from Michigan, decide to start chanting “Genocide Joe” during his speech? What if Chicago has a full-scale riot while Joe Biden is giving a speech? At this point, and with the lack of police on the streets of Chicago, anything could happen.

The “JOY!” that Democrats are desperately trying to hype up for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz might be in very short supply if protests get out of hand at the DNC.
