The Trump campaign finds itself in an unexpected financial crunch heading into the election’s homestretch: substantially behind Joe Biden in the cash it has on hand despite years of advanced preparation. If the president is looking to cast blame, however, the receipts suggest that it starts with himself. During the month of August, the Trump campaign spent nearly half-a-million dollars on fireworks, almost certainly for the display that was put on over the south lawn of the White House during the Republican convention. That display was indisputably ostentatious—a seemingly never ending stream of lights that culminated in the words “Trump” and […]

President Trump has promised a second-term agenda that would replicate his first term. Alex Brandon/AP hide caption toggle caption Alex Brandon/AP President Trump has promised a second-term agenda that would replicate his first term. Alex Brandon/AP A central promise of last week’s Republican National Convention was a pledge that President Trump would use a second term to build on elements of his first term, with very few updates and changes. The four days of convention programming showed a Republican Party whose policies are bound to Trump. But GOP divisions over many of those policies prevented much of the 2016 Trump agenda […]
Fed up with decades of two-party rule, hundreds of thousands of Americans tuned in for the People’s Convention, where they voted to form a new political alternative unbeholden to corporate power or the military-industrial complex. The event drew more than 400,000 viewers to its livestream on Sunday, organizers said. It continued to trend on Twitter through more than 5 hours of speeches that culminated in a vote to create a “major new corporate-free political party in America.” Among the speakers at the convention were several disgruntled Democrats, from Sen. Bernie Sanders’s 2020 national co-chair Nina Turner to a candidate in this […]
Donald Trump’s acceptance speech Thursday night was interminable, sprawling, and littered with superfluous lines. But it also included some finely tuned themes that were repeated over and over during the four-night infomercial called the Republican National Convention, starting with the timely issue of law and order. “If the Democrat Party wants to stand with anarchists, agitators, rioters, looters, and flag-burners, that is up to them,” Trump declared, “but I, as your President, will not be a part of it. The Republican Party will remain the voice of the patriotic heroes who keep America Safe.” At first blush, this might sound like […]
Daily Beast: After reportedly declining the Republican National Committee’s request to perform Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” at their convention this week, Cohen’s estate is exploring legal options because the song was played twice anyway, according to Pitchfork. Also, no way in HELL Leonard Cohen would have appreciated Trump using Hallelujah as RNC Convention bumper music. It’s practically sacrilege. — Christy (@ChristyW907) August 28, 2020 Leonard Cohen’s estate told the Republican National Convention they could not use “Hallelujah,” but Trump and the convention did anyway.

Bob Eckstein With the aid of a live — at least for now — audience, Donald Trump energized the faithful this week with a revival of this country’s fear of socialism and the horror that would be a Biden America, making every American forget there ever was murder hornets. Most importantly he proved he really can assemble a better team (a better TV production team, that is) to create a compelling and convincing work of fiction. Almost every speech, every takeaway claimed to show America the real Trump behind the curtain, the one we don’t see, the caring and humane Trump, […]
At 9:30 p.m., as hundreds of protesters marched down Kenosha’s streets to protest a police shooting that left 29-year-old Jacob Blake paralyzed, National Association of Police Organizations President Michael McHale took to the stage at the Republican convention to chide Democrats for disrespecting America’s police officers. “Chaos results when elected officials in cities like Portland, Minneapolis, Chicago, and New York make the conscious and very public decision not to support law enforcement,” McHale told millions of Americans who have watched as scenes of police violence consume our daily lives. “The violence we are seeing… isn’t happening by chance; it’s the direct […]
Vice President Mike Pence was the headline speaker at the third night of the Republican National Convention and he did not disappoint.

Kamala Harris, not basement-dwelling Joe Biden will travel to DC to deliver a counter to President Trump’s convention speech on Thursday. 77-year-old (almost 78) Joe Biden is too feeble to travel and campaign.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) launched the Twitter hashtag #TrumpChaos, fueling both offline and online campaigns against US President Donald Trump, attacking the president for how he uses the coronavirus pandemic and condemning him for attempting to repeal the Affordable Care Act. The Democratic National Committee has placed billboards and light installations in Washington DC amid the ongoing Republican National Convention. The highly-visible billboards slam US President Donald Trump for his COVID-19 response, opposition to the Affordable Care Act and economic policies. The billboards have appeared near the White House, the Republican National Committee’s offices on Capitol Hill, and by the Andrew W. Mellon […]
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – The Republicans opened the third night of their convention with a series of speeches by veterans and officials including vice presidential National Security adviser Keith Kellogg who drove home the theme that President Donald Trump supports the military and is more patriotic than the rival party. Later in the evening, Vice President Mike Pence later will deliver his keynote remarks from Fort McHenry in Baltimore, where the American national anthem was inspired during the War of 1812, in a bid to strike a patriotic chord on the third night of the Republican National Convention (RNC). Early on, speakers […]

The Republican National Convention, which kicked off on Monday, 24 August, now goes into its third day, with the speaker to close out the evening being none other than Vice President Mike Pence. Pence’s speech is expected to broach the subject of Trump’s opposition to “those protesting racial injustice, such as professional athletes kneeling during the anthem”, Reuters notes. That issue, along […]
On the second night of its national convention, the Party of Trump resorted to reruns, hammering home the message he’s been pushing for four years: That the radical left—with help from Communist China and the Lamestream Media—is hellbent on destroying the traditional (white) American way of life, and the only person who can stop them is Trump. Among the invitees to take up the theme was Nicholas Sandmann, the Kentucky prep school student who became a darling of the right after he and his MAGA hat went viral following an incident with a Native American activist last year. Sandmann blasted the […]
If you just returned from 40 years (or even four) in a jungle in Borneo without television and modern communications and watched Tuesday night’s Republican convention, you’d think these were lovely people doing wondrous things. There was the former robber and the FBI guy who befriended him (needless to say, across racial lines). The New Mexico cop who adopted the heroin addict’s baby and helped her clean up. And then all that bragging about all those best-ever accomplishments. You’d turn the TV off wondering what kind of nutcase can possibly be against this? Then your host would sit you down and […]
Being Secretary of State is, as it turns out, is really just a side hustle for Mike Pompeo. He’s happy to have the gig if it helps advance his personal political ambitions, but should the burdens or restrictions associated with being America’s chief diplomat ever get in the way of those ambitions, time and time again, this heir to the legacy of Thomas Jefferson chooses himself or his political party over his country. He, like his boss, has turned his solipsism into his brand. As Donald Trump turned the White House, his pardon power and the oath of citizenship into campaign […]
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – US President Donald Trump’s family, including his wife Melania, will headline the second night of the Republican National Convention (RNC), but Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s speech will be highly scrutinized over allegations that he may be violating US law and the State Department policy. The Republicans opened the second night of their semi-virtual convention in North Carolina on Tuesday.

Hours before she was set to speak at the Republican National Convention on Tuesday night, Mary Ann Mendoza took to Twitter and urged her followers to investigate a supposed Jewish plot to enslave the world. “Do yourself a favor and read this thread,” Mendoza, who is a member of the Trump campaign’s advisory board, tweeted to her more than 40,000 followers early Tuesday morning. Mendoza, an “angel mom,” is scheduled to speak Tuesday about her son’s 2014 death at the hands of a drunk driver who was in the country illegally. Her tweet on Tuesday linked to a lengthy thread from […]
Progressive groups are demanding that all television networks delay airing the Republican National Convention until they fact-check all claims made by the featured speakers — which they didn’t demand for the Democratic convention. “The best way to combat the spread of disinformation is to stop it at its source.

On Night 1 of the 2020 Republican National Convention, acolyte after high-profile acolyte lined up to lavish praise on President Donald Trump for standing tall between the American people and a Marxist, politically correct hellscape. They just couldn’t seem to figure out why, exactly, he was so great. Trump was alternately touted as a true champion of the Black community—but also as the only person standing in the way of the death of the “suburbs” at the hands of “low-quality apartments” and radical Marxist mobs. He was cast as a visionary leader who has made and kept his promises of law […]
Former US envoy to the UN Nikki Haley has sparked rumors that she is eyeing the White House, after using her address to support US President Donald Trump while also laying out her own vision for the country. Haley accused Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his party of “blaming America first,” and pushed back on the notion that “America is racist.” “That is a lie. America is not a racist country,” Haley said. “This is personal for me.” As the daughter of Indian immigrants, Haley argued that she was able to excel despite growing up as a “brown girl in […]
The Republican party has been headed down the wrong path on inclusion and diversity for decades and on Monday night, America saw the results as a lineup intended to highlight the party’s diversity instead exposed how little of it there is. The night opened with Charlie Kirk, the 26-year-old white founder of Turning Point USA and one of the most divisive, and angriest figures in America. As the night went on, the party trotted out regular, everyday citizens to spotlight its supposed diversity, but they lost me when they spotlighted the man and woman who pulled loaded weapons on peaceful Black […]

The ongoing Republican National Convention has re-nominated incumbent US President Donald Trump and his vice president, Mike Pence, for the presidential ticket in the 2020 November election. Charlie Kirk, a pro-Trump student activist and a founder of Turning Point USA, called US President Donald Trump a “bodyguard of western civilization” during a speech at the beginning of the Republican National Convention. “Speaking to you in my personal capacity tonight as a 26-year-old, I see the angst of young people, as well as the challenges facing new parents. I am here tonight to tell you, to warn you, that this election is a […]
CNN’s Sunday Show host Brian Stelter went on Sunday and attacked Republicans before their convention even started. Stelter, a committed CNN liberal, praised the DNC Convention last week where speakers were “largely accurate.” This was after after an entire week of deluded people who believe Europe is to blame for the China virus, the Black Lives Matter riots are “mostly peaceful” and Governor Andrew Cuomo is a hero for his handling of the coronavirus!

President Donald Trump welcomed his formal re-nomination at the Republican National Convention much like he has greeted crowds across the country, press in the briefing room at the White House and workers on factory floors in the months after his rallies were shut down: with a lengthy, rambling, grievance-filled speech. Despite promising an “optimistic” event, Trump had no sooner taken to the podium, before he complained about mail in voting, an evidence free attack on the democratic method that he returned to several times over the course of the more than 50 minute address. “The only way they can take this […]

The news channel’s media critic Brian Stelter says CNN will have live “fact-checks” for the RNC, leaving many to wonder where those fact-checks were during the respective Democratic event. Warning about a possible “stream of disinformation” at the RNC, scheduled to take place from August 24 through August 27, Stelter promised CNN will “fact-check” and “cut away” from the event as needed. He also blasted rival Fox News network for their coverage of the Democratic National Convention and their conservative bias. “There is an asymmetry in our media…where Fox is off there on the right in ways that other networks are […]
Donald Trump really wanted to go big for his re-nominating convention. Long before the coronavirus pandemic utterly destroyed his vision of a great American “revival” this summer—to be packed with his signature mega-rallies, economic renewal, and an extravagant 2020 Republican National Convention that would show up Joe Biden—the president was planning for yet another evening of being treated as a Republican rock-star while anointed the party standard-bearer. Going back to last year, Trump was getting personally involved in pitching ideas and soliciting pitches for the four-day convention’s garish moments and granular details, according to three people who’ve discussed RNC planning with […]

It’s amazing how often it happens that we elect as president someone whose personal attributes are the opposite of the exiting incumbent. Jimmy Carter was a bit of pious moralist preaching sacrifice; Ronald Reagan said set that thermostat wherever you want. It’s gone on like that ever since. Donald Trump, a coarse braggart who thinks the White House is a dump, was the opposite of Barack Obama, a cultivator of understatement who put a premium on dignity (except of course when he wore the unforgivable brown suit). But now Trump may be trumped. The biggest phony ever to barge his way […]
Biden supporters attacked a 7-year-old boy Thursday night outside of the DNC convention. The boy, Riley, was attacked for wearing a red MAGA hat.

One of the Biden supporters then grabbed the child’s red MAGA hat and refused to give it back to the child. Riley’s mother didn’t back down and chased the Biden supporters.

Over the last few U.S. presidential election cycles, the major television networks have chosen to broadcast just one hour each night from the respective parties’ political conventions, usually out of concern that anything more would impact viewership numbers and ad revenues.

Miami Herald: Florida’s Department of Health on Saturday morning reported a new daily record high of 2,581 new confirmed cases of COVID-19 — surpassing the previous high by 679. The previous high was hit on Friday. And the high before that was hit on Thursday.

Those ideas are some of several that executives on the planning committee and aides to Joe Biden’s campaign have bandied about in recent weeks. And while no formal decisions have been made, at least one conclusion has fully been reached: the party won’t abandon political […]
“The president’s plan to hold mass rallies in Florida and elsewhere as we experience a resurgence in COVID cases is irresponsible and selfish,” Rep. Val Demings said on Thursday.

She told her Twitter followers she was there “to speak with our community as America grieves.” Demings wasn’t alone in flip-flopping for political purposes. Plenty of top Democrats cheered on “Black Lives Matter” crowds across the U.S., with many attending rallies in honor of […]
