“Michael from Rhode Island” Starring At DNC as “Longstanding Republican” Voting Biden, Is A Democrat

Posted by William A. Jacobson on August 21, 2020 37 Comments

Other than some of the key speeches, I skipped most of the live coverage of the Democrat National Convention. When I tried to watch, it was unbearable, like watching a never-ending public service announcement from the Ad Council. So I missed the live coverage of "Michael from Rhode Island" presented by the DNC as a "longstanding Republican for a long time" who is voting for Biden.

Rachel Maddow Was ‘Scared’ by Obama’s Warnings About Trump Ending Democracy

Posted by Mike LaChance on August 21, 2020 43 Comments

Obama's 2020 DNC speech was almost the opposite of the 2004 DNC speech that propelled him onto the national stage. If you watched this week, you heard very little about hope and the things that bring Americans together. Instead, this was a dark speech that was heavier on Obama's dislike of Trump than why you should vote for Joe Biden. MSNBC's Rachel Maddow loved the speech, naturally, but it also scared her.

So, they seem nice. In Portland, where the BLM mob continues to run amok, the mob has upped the ante, terrorizing residential neighborhoods, shouting at random people, harassing small business owners, shining lights into homes at night, screeching, "wake up, mother effer, wake up!"

Posted by William A. Jacobson on August 21, 2020 20 Comments

The Biden Campaign, Nancy Pelosi, Democrats, and the media have created a panic over the Postal Service centered around conspiracy theories that Trump is trying to steal the election by partially shutting down and interfering with mail delivery. The Postal Service conspiracy was the centerpiece of the Democratic National Convention.

Tucker Carlson Exposes Extremist Side of Democratic National Convention

Posted by Mike LaChance on August 21, 2020 36 Comments

If you've been watching the Democratic National Convention each night this week, you have probably heard some far-out ideas and claims.

Yet none of that can even compare with what they're not showing on prime time television.

‘Peaceful Protesters’ in Portland Set Fire to County Government Building

Posted by Mary Chastain on August 21, 2020 35 Comments

But I thought everyone would calm down when the federal agents left the federal courthouse in Portland! The latest riot in Portland proves it has everything to do with mayhem and nothing about black lives, systematic racism, or police brutality. Rioters attacked the Multnomah Building, which has offices for the local sheriff, but mostly "houses offices for county departments that provide social services that have no connection to the police."

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot Blames Mississippi for Chicago Gun Violence

Posted by Mike LaChance on August 20, 2020 96 Comments

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is blaming the state of Mississippi for the rampant gun violence plaguing her city. This looks like nothing more than an attempt to duck responsibility. It's amazing that the media lets her get away with this.
