The SECOND NIGHT of the Republican Convention continued the unbroken chain of eloquent excellence established the first night with dignity, charm, honesty, and grace –– an exhibition of fine individuals of great character from many walks of life and levels of society demonstrating genuine enthusiasm and appreciation for the countless gracious, constructive, substantive, helpful, and heartening things President Trump has done since taking office –– things the vicious ENEMEDIA has done it best to SUPPRESS, IGNORE, DENY or VILIFY.
ReplyDeleteThe appearance of beautiful TIFFANY TRUMP,something of a a Figure of Mystery who remained largely in the background thsee past four years, was a most pleasant surprise. She turned out to be notably intelligent, poised, well-spoken and a most eloquent advocate for her father both as our president, and as a man. No father could ever hope for better from an adult child.
The only flaw I could discern in the proceedings came from our First Lady, Melania Trump. She looked beautiful, behaved graciously, delivered her remarks flawlessly, and was extremely poised and credible in all her observations, BUT someone should have reminded her that "BREVITY is the SOUL of WIT." I'm sorry to have to say she went on much too long.
Young Nick Sandman, harshly pronounced guilty of smiling in the face of an obnoxious, relentless Tom-Tom Beating by a scrawny, ill-favored "Native-American," who looked like he smelled bad, probably stood out for showing courage, determination and fearlessness in pursuit of Justice for Himself as the victim of vicious, unprincipled and relentless attack from the ENEMEDIA simply for wearing a MAGA hat while attending a Pro-Life Demonstration.
Nick has already won BIG BUCKS after suing the ENEMEDIA, and stands to win even MORE, because he has been totally IN the Right as well as ON the Right. Nick, who makes a refreshingly fine, handsome, clean-cut appearance, is a GREAT Role Model for American Youth.
The commentary from Pam Bondi, the extraordinarily beautiful former Attorney General for the State of Florida, was STUNNING for its intelligence, eloquence and unabahed PRO-AMERICAN HONESTY.
Eric Trump gave a most moving tribute to his Dad as he lauded the elder Trump's astonishing array of positive achievements and numerous acts of kindness.
Tuesday night marked TWO Great Evenings unblemished by cyniism, belligrence and negativism.
I'm looking forward right this minute to enjoying a THIRD such evening.
Franco,
DeleteFYI...Melania Trump graduated from the Georgetown University School of Law in May.
Yes. That's good, of course, but I can't see how it relates to my criticism.
DeleteTIFFANY Trump let it be known that SHE is about to get HER law degree too,
What a pleasant surprise TIFFANY has turned out to be!
But none of that provides a good excuse for a campaign address marred by prolixity.
Oops! My error! It is Tiffany Trump who just got hew law degree.
DeleteFranco,
DeleteThat's good, of course, but I can't see how it relates to my criticism.
Really? Well, my point was that Tiffany Trump should indeed be a great speaker. She went to Georgetown University!
Thanks for the clarification, AOW.
DeleteThe THIRD NIGHT of the 2020 Republican Convention may be defined succinctly:
ReplyDeleteA contination of the beautifully coordinated demonstration of a seamless flow of Credibility, Decency, Honesty, Forthrightness, Dignity, Appreciation for all that is Good, Wholesomeness, and an admirable LACK of Captiousness, Vindictiveness, Vengefulness, witless, hostile Dispuatiousness, sneering Cynicism and Guile.
BRAVO, REPUBLICANS! –– so far.
A lot hangs in the balance tonight, and it almost all of it rests squarely on President Trump's broad, capable, indefatigable shoulders. May God continue to be at Presdent Trump's back and bless him with an indisputable, unqualified VICTORY on November third.
Franco,
DeleteI managed to watch most of the third night of the RNC.
I'm not big on emoting and was quite shocked by Kayleigh McEnany's personal story; she managed to connect it with President Trump's reelection, but the connection was a big of a reach, IMO.
Kayleigh McEnany did prove, however, that the GOP can emote just as well as the Dems.
Interesting! I thought Kayleigh was just fine. I liked her than I ever had before as a matter of fact. I was glad to see her vulnerable, warmly human side –– a rare treat from ANY presidential Press Secretary.
DeleteIn my never humble opinion NONE of the many speakers these past three nights lapsed into bathos or mawkishness. All exhibited remarkable composure under pressure, and all were veritable icons of good taste.
Of course in my worldview Life without frequent displays of sincere heartfelt emotion would be about as satisfying –– and productive –– as sex with a robot or one of those blowup dolls.

Franco,
DeleteA friend of mine put up this review on Facebook, and I'm sure that you'll love reading my friend's review:
Day three of the Republican convention and I am loving it. The RNC has found a way to turn the lockdown into an advantage and make the convention streamlined. Striking but spare visuals and meaningful settings keep the focus on the speakers. They, in turn have learned to speak quietly and intimately to the camera, one American to another. I love the stories from ordinary Americans from all over the country. I've seen it criticized as a reality show, but it captures what's best about such programs. They remind you that the world is full of wonderful people you just haven't met yet. So, too, with this convention. In the midst of the pandemic and rioting, the speakers are full of patriotism, faith, and optimism. That's the real American, the one I know, the one in which hard work and determination overcome obstacles, and we help each other when times are hard.
A brilliant and beautiful assessment of the tone and substance of the Republican Convention. I thank yor friene for writing it, and thank YOU so much for sharing it, AOW
DeleteOUT of SEQUENCE, I know, but I WANT the COMPLETE REVIEW HERE all in one place:
ReplyDeleteThe RNC Convention got off to a BRILLIANT, highly encouraging start.
ALL of the numerous speakers from every different racial, ethnic, and religious background many different levels of society, and all walks of life were genial, dignified, positive, well-spoken, disciplined, and encouraging. They presented a constructive, engaging and reassuring view of America we are rarely permitted to see.
The only possible false note in the proceedings came from Kimberley Guilfoyle, whose strident, overly theatrical, "Hey, Look At Me,Ain't I Great?" manner obscured the generally accurate content of her remarks.
Other than that everyone else who participated gave a STELLAR account of their positive, affirmative, deeply appreciative experiences they had had with President Trump.
Why no mention of Fredo Trump being high on coke?
DeleteDuck,
DeleteI didn't see the speech.
But Freethinke did. It was probably the reason his girlfriend Kimberly was so torqued up.
DeleteWell, Duck, Don, Jr., is always animated. His personality, IMO.
DeleteAs for Kimberly Guilfoyle, she's always ready to beat the drum and go to war.
Addendum to Duck: not everyone is as laid back as you are.
DeleteBut Freethinke did. It was probably the reason his girlfriend Kimberly was so torqued up.
DeleteAddendum 2: you should see me after a full pot of coffee. LOL.
DeleteDUcky, don't believe everything you hear in your media..DJT wasn't even as animated as he sometimes is. But, I"M SURE the first thing a president's son would do is let someone see him do coke, right? I think DJT Jr was right...apparently they confused him with Hunter Biden. Guilfoyle's the big RAH RAH REPUBLICAN, Newsome's ex-wife.....She actually spoke more animatedly than Junior...she was probably high, too, right? Since she just recovered from COVID, I'm sure she'd jeopardize her lungs... :-)
DeleteThe line that best defined the ENTIRE Republican convention came from IVANKA TRUMP (KUSHNER?) in her introduction to her father's Epic Acceptance Speech:
Delete"WASHINGTON DID NOT CHANGE DONALD TREUMP," she said "DONALD TRUMP CHANGED WASHINGTON."
By the way the comments to this post WOULD have displayed an admirable LACK of Captiousness, Vindictiveness, Vengefulness, witless, hostile Dispuatiousness, sneering Cynicism, Guile, and sheer Spite if only Cacca Canardo had stayed home to stem the flow of his Disdain, Contempt, Sarcasm and Bile instead of vomiting it all over AOW's blog
DeleteFranco,
DeleteWell, my friend, Duck didn't keep going like the Energizer Bunny, so there's not much to clean up. :^)
Let's not start an ad hominem blog war in this open thread. Thank you in advance.
All right, it's YOUR blog, but it's VERY difficult always to be to be put in a position where LOUSY, STNKIN' ... L_I_A_R_S ... and sneering LEFTIST OPERATIVESS are permitted free reign while the TRUTH gets muzzled.
DeleteI may be obnoxious now and then, but at least I tell the TRUTH as I know it. I don't –– and probaby never will –– understand why well-known lying sons of bitches, and sneering spouters of sarcasm, perversity and perfidy should routinely be given preference over ME.
Sorry, but in the intrests of Honesty and Forthrightness I HAD to say it, but that's ALL i'm going to say I promise.
Franco,
DeleteAcknowledged.
A LITTLE FUN WITH EXPERIMENTAL CAMPAIGN SLOGANS AND POSSIBLE BUMPER STICKERS:

Their GENIALITY is as FALSE as BIDEN'S wobbly TEETH.

DeleteWhy aren't any of the right wing blogs commenting on Kyle Rittenhouse?
ReplyDelete(Except (m)Ann Coulter who wants him for president)
Duck,
DeleteI'll have a post about the Kenosha shootings on Monday.
Somebody should have bought that boy some 30 round clips... either that or prevented the whole incident by immediately reporting the fact that Blake had told the police officers that he had a knife, and that it was on the floorboard of his vehicle on the driver's side...
Delete...oh those pesky little FACTS...
Delete...after all, what matter FACTS after the riots been done?
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteJoe,
DeleteThanks for that link.
The first few paragraphs (emphases mine):
Jacob Blake had a knife on the driver’s side of his car and was about to be arrested in a domestic dispute when he was shot Sunday seven times by an officer in Kenosha, according to the Wisconsin Department of Justice.
The department released details late Wednesday after three nights of protests and rioting in the Wisconsin community sparked by the shooting of Mr. Blake, a 29-year-old Black man, by Kenosha Police Department Officer Rusten Sheskey, who is White.
The department, which is investigating the shooting, said that officers were called to the residence on 40th Street in Kenosha “after a female caller reported that her boyfriend was present and was not supposed to be on the premises.”...
Some more FACTS that are not likely to catch the Liberal Lying Train that left the station several days ago...
DeleteIt would appear the the "White Supremacist Shooter" (aka Kyle Rittenhouse) was part of a Libertarian Store Security force that had rendered medical aid to protesters injured during the riots, and that he had been swarmed by people seeking to confiscate his weapon and possibly shot at by them...
DeleteOne person in the armed crew, which calls itself “The Libertarians,” explained that they were on the same side. Richie even spoke to the shooter right before the incident. He asked why he was armed and standing in front of a business.
Delete“So people are getting injured, and our job is to protect this business and part of my job is to also help people. If there’s somebody hurt, I’m running into harms way. That’s why I have my weapon, I need to protect myself, obviously,” he said.
“But I also have my med kit.”
Good info!
DeleteI'll have post about Kyle Rittenhouse on Monday. I wanted more information to come through -- and it has. Please stop by on Monday if you can.
Some spliced video showing the attacks and his defense...
DeleteWhen the Government fails to enforce its laws and abrogates its responsibilities. When it turns its back and refuses to protect its law abiding citizens against the depredations of packs of hyenas; it should expect that the citizens will take matters in their own hands.
DeleteWe are not peasants or peons, we are a free people with natural rights that cannot be taken away. A government that thinks that violence or self-defense is reserved exclusively to the State is a danger to its citizens.
Does anyone care to guess what I would do to some thug threatening to harm me, or my property or my friends and family?
Warren,
DeleteMultiple up votes!
Preach it, brother!
DeleteFJ,
DeleteThanks for that video!
Yes, FJ. Thanks for that link.
DeleteMy pleasure!
DeleteStill more context on the first shot fired (not by Kyle) and the Kyles shots a second later (if you have some time start at 2:22)...
DeleteAn extremely well done piece (that omits who fired the first shot) that shows a LOT of other people with GUNS.
DeleteThersites,
DeletePlease stop by tomorrow when my post about vigilatism publishes. I covet your input on that blog post.
No problem. Here's what happened in Portland last night...
DeleteThe victim was wearing a "Patriot Prayer" hat.
Delete...reaction to the news of his death from the perps...
DeleteJoe,
DeleteDid these hyenas scream, "Here's a Trumper!" before shots rang out.
I can't make it out myself, but there was definitely some smack being screamed.
Deletebtw - an interesting piece on the judicial concept of din rodef that might prove important in the Kyle Rittenhouse case (if it ever goes to trial)...

ReplyDeleteWhen you don’t shoot a killer resisting arrest.
Please read -- and watch the video.
AND READ THE COMMENTS, TOO!
DeleteThanks for the link. So easy not understand the enormity of what we ask of the police.
DeleteBunkerville,
DeleteThat post by Mustang is an important one!
Honestly, I can't imagine why anyone would want to go into law enforcement these days.
I loved when Kamala today said TRUMP HAS NO PLAN AGAINST COVID and BIDEN DID! I figure that's how Republicans roll....Dems PLAN, Republicans DO, as Trump did.
ReplyDeleteWell Z... in fairness, Biden wasn't president, Trump was. Can anyone lay out what President Trump's plan was?
DeleteSure, Dave ..
Deletehttps://www.whitehouse.gov/openingamerica/
Meanwhile, Biden is still hiding in his basement. That's his plan for America dealing with Covid. Of course, that seems to be the Democrat plan, as Queen Nancy shut down the House of Representatives in the midst of a national crisis. Quite frankly, I question the common sense if not the intelligence of anyone supporting the Democrat Party.
DeleteCOVID data the demagoguing Democrats don't want you to see:

Trump Makes Riveting Case for Reelection, Shows America What She Is In For If Biden Wins
ReplyDeleteFox News
by Liz Peek
If the point of a political convention is to get your party’s message out, win over voters and boost your candidate’s prospects, then make no mistake about the 2020 conventions, Republicans absolutely buried the Democrats.
The polling tells us so. Joe Biden got zero boost from the Democrats’ grievance-fueled slog-fest last week.
The Democratic presidential nominee's polls did not move higher; in fact, they dropped, and especially in the critical swing states.
Though it is too soon to determine how the GOP convention shifted President Trump’s standing, we do know that over the past week, his approval ratings have moved higher in those battleground states, and especially on his handling of COVID-19. . . .

ReplyDeleteDRY your TEARS
CALM your FEARS,

Trump’s strong Republican Convention speech increases his reelection chances
ReplyDeleteFox News
by Doug Schoen
President Trump delivered one of the best speeches of his political career Thursday night as he accepted the Republican National Convention’s nomination for a second term, boosting his chances for reelection.
The president’s 70-minute speech was highly effective in the sense that he drew clear and arguably persuasive contrasts between himself and former Vice President Joe Biden in many areas, including their broad-based visions for America, the economy, and law enforcement.
In a way that was reminiscent of Trump’s positioning during the 2016 campaign, the president made it clear that he is running as an outsider and a non-politician against Democratic presidential nominee Biden, who Trump characterized as embodying the political class . . .
DOUG SCHOEN IS THAT GREATEST OF ALL GREAT RARITIES –– AN ... H_O_N_E_S_T ... DEFECCRAT.

DeleteFranco,
DeleteHopefully, many of those who are being forced to exit our big cities because those cities are no longer safe from packs of hyenas and looters have stocks they can liquidate. City real estate is going to take one helluva dive!
Then give all your money to your ne'er-do-well cousin that invested in cat food futures. I'm sure they can think of something "useful" to do with it.
