Lots to be said about the political party conventions, and this is the place to say them.  I woke up this morning to National Propaganda Radio carefully parsing Melania Trump’s speech around the few words that were similar to Michelle Obama’s equivalent speech in 2008.  Now I notice that the liberal outlets are all competing to see who can best hyperventilate about this – journalism at another summit.  Truly BFD, since in those words both ladies paid homage to their upbringing and the values derived.

If they wanted to compare and contrast the First Lady and her would be successor, they would have pointed out that Mrs Obama’s previous significant employment was a corrupt job paying around $300K for her to do nothing – a job so important that it was not filled when she finally left.  Contrast that with Mrs Trump running a successful fashion business that provides products people pay for with their own hard-earned money, and a company that provides jobs to those who work the business.  And oh yes, one lady clearly loves the United States as a sovereign nation-state in which people are free to pursue their dreams.  More later.

[update 326pm PDT]  Why am I not surprised?

POLICE BREAK UP SKIRMISHES AMONG DEMONSTRATORS IN CLEVELAND
CLEVELAND (AP) – Police broke up scuffles between groups of demonstrators a few blocks from the Republican National Convention as crowds in the hundreds gathered Tuesday afternoon. There was no immediate word on any arrests or injuries. A skirmish broke out when right-wing conspiracy theorist and radio show host Alex Jones started speaking in downtown's Public Square through a bullhorn. Police on bicycles pushed back a surging crowd, and Jones was whisked away. Minutes later, more officers on bicycles formed a line between a conservative religious group and a communist-leaning organization carrying a sign that read, "America Was Never Great." The demonstrators – including anti-Muslim protesters, religious conservatives and marchers decrying racism and "murder by police" – appeared outnumbered by law officers and members of the media.

    Great points. The MSNBC leftwingnuts were creaming their jeans about Melania’s speech and how her speech writer should out himself and resign. These people forget that Michelle’s hubby plagarized Devon Patrick’s speech in 2008. But he gets a pass and becomes President. Anyway, just one more example of what we all know and fight everyday about the lamestream press.

    In there usual ham-handed manner, the Trump people are making this worse than it has to be by denying plagiarism occurred. That’s why this story still has legs, as they say in the news biz.
    The words in the two speeches are too similar to deny copying didn’t occur. If they aren’t willing to admit their mistake and fire the speech writer, the Trump people should say we’re going to investigate this “coincidence” and get back to you.
    By refusing to admit something improper may have occurred, the Trump people give the media an excuse to ignore the Republican message and focus on a controversy that shouldn’t exist. These guys are real amateurs.

    Why is the lefty press talking about Melania’s speech and how her speech writer should out himself and resign? Because they do not want to talk about the two speeches hit out of the park by Sheriff Clark and Rudi Gulliani. This is just progressive smoke and mirror by the democratic operatives to mask the real message.

    I don’t closely follow the conventions….especially on opening day. Same this year. A glance across the news feeds seems like all the same story. A story that has a life of the news cycle. Hundreds of articles about the non-story. .
    Clinton campaign was the first to break this earth shaking “breaking news” Makes sense, since nobody else would have even it picked up. Ah, the ole cat fight, war on women, lol
    In reality, a side by side visual clip between Mrs. Clinton and Mrs. Trump indeed could be a potentially devastating blow to the Clinton Campaign. Hillary has built her campaign on the women’s vote so Mrs. Trump is a very real, not imagined threat. Yes, she is not on the ballot, but she could peel off some women votes. Hmm.
    Since Hillary has nothing to run on except her gender as her bottom line, any woman on the right is a threat to Hillary. Look at Hilary. Look at a non candidate Mrs. Trump. “Why vote for Hillary when I could support that classy lady in the absolutely to die for fabulous dress???, ” may enter the mind of thousands of women who are just not that into politics.
    When you think of My Gal objectively, classy is not a word that comes to mind. Destroy that woman, Ms. Trump. That is the story from opening day, IMHO.
    Welcome to the world of politics, Mrs. Trump. Expect much worse than that ahead, much worse. No biggie, if that is your “unforgivable sin”…. 🙂
    Saw this, take it or leave it. Non story to me….it’s standard Clinton stuff. Nothing new under the sun,

    The Melania story was played up to bury the Hillary lying to the mother of a dead serviceman and the Rudy Giuliani stories. Sheriff Clark, too.
    I cannot care less that Melania’s cliches stepped on Michelle’s cliches. A minor gaffe by the speechwriter(s). She did a fine job delivering her speech, establishing she can arguably handle her part of the job her husband is trying to get.
    I’ll be happy to not vote for Trump (pointless in this state in any case) but the SCOTUS would be unrecognizable were the next three or four nominees closer to Ginsberg than Scalia. Clinton needs to lose.

    “Inside Trump Tower, it turned out, Ms. Trump had decided she was uncomfortable with the text, and began tearing it apart, leaving a small fraction of the original. Her quiet plan to wrest the speech away and make it her own set in motion the most embarrassing moment of the convention: word-for-word repetition of phrases and borrowed themes from Michelle Obama’s speech at the Democratic convention eight years ago.
    The ridicule from both Democrats and Republicans was instant and relentless, disrupting what was meant to be a high point of the convention.”

    Mr Todd @ 9:56
    Mr. Dozer has a point. Why in God’s green earth would anybody quote a Democrat? That is the epitome of stupid X 1,000. Boy o boy, quoting a Dem is a crazier than a shaved mule in a toboggan race. That one we just acknowledge and pretend it didn’t happen. Nothing to see here, Move-On!. Besides, Dozer has had a rough week with that delicate matter that almost goes away…..until Boardman stirred the pot. Hey Mr. Boardman, nothing to see here in Quaintytown, ok?
    There is always a silver lining. Two can play that game, but I ain’t even the least bit interested. Does not tickle my fancy. However, those crazy boyz and girls out in fly over county spent the morning doing side by side comparisons between Mrs O and Mrs T. Did you know that when Michelle and the girls do a vacation without Barrack, they bring along their entrouge of friends and hanger ons…..at 100% taxpayer expense. We are playing for friends of Mrs O’s rooms in faraway places. Learn something new everyday.
    Did you know that when Biden (The VP of the USA) wanted to stay at some 8k/night suite in China, the bean counters told him nay, it is out of the expenditure parameters. Then Mrs. 0 traveling about with her friends stayed there!! Lol. VP on business, no. First Lady on vacation, yes. Only in America!
    Joke of the day. Melania was asked about our First Lady’s expenditures, such as the $800,000 vacation Michelle packed full with her friends and charged it all to the taxpayers. Melania replied she will save on Air Force One expenses….said she will bring their private 757 since the First Day’s Air Force One is only a 747. Sweet. On time and under budget.
    Finally, I can’t going to be suckered into some First Lady war. Learned a long time ago to never try to break up a girl fight. It’s bad enough getting scratched and clawed and bitten, but then they both turned on me as if I was the bad guy. I was just trying to stop the violence and they took all that anger they had focused on each other and turned it on the real enemy: the male species of the homosapien race. Odd.
    Let them fight it out. When the hens start squawking, I start walking….away.

    Boy, it was easy to trace that one back this morning when I saw the media creaming their jeans over Melinia’s words. Here I was all ready to see what the grieving mother had to say about her child or husband being murdered by a Obama protected illegal alien from Hell…..but no. Politico was tipped by New Thinker (or whatever it is called), which is an umbrella company under New Thinker Plus, which just happens to be owned by John Podesta. Figured the Clinton Dirt Machine worked all night searching for the Gotcha! pot of gold at the end of the rainbow cause they only found it early this morning. Good job. Hillary told those boys before retiring for the evening at 9:00 pm (past her bedtime) that they better find some dirt or…..”they will be dealt with later” in her best Wicked Witch of the West impression.
    Yep, I used to pull all nighters as well. Fair enough.
    Just adds more credence to my theory that Hillary is scared shitless of the completion, even if it is the mere spouse of an opponent. Sad…sad that Hillary just can’t get no respect.

    Dozer, here is your bone to cuddle with tonight. I agree that quoting a grievance peddler at a RNC convention is one for the record books. At a RNC convention of all places. Yep, even I can chuckle at that one. Nice to see we are getting a classy First Lady that is truly outside the establishment. She don’t even like politics. She rather be running her line of classy fashion stuff businesses across Euroland than deal with boring politics. What a breath of fresh air! Wondered what Melania and Donald discussed this morning when he, like me, opened up the paper to see what the press had to say about how it went last night. Your side gets 2 points for that one. All is fair in love and war. That Podesta is worth his weight in gold.
    Oh, David Brock said he is the one who broke the story, but nobody believes him. Nobody but a full blown fool. We already smoked that one out and kicked him out of the Party years ago.
    Did see Brock in a recent interview about 3 days ago flailing his arms flailing about saying Trump is doing it all wrong. Like, “WTF, where is his ground game!! Where are the field offices staffed in every burg in America? The door knockers, the flyers, the troops!?! Called the one field office I could find and the phone just rang and rang.!!” Oh, he hates Trump, but he was like screaming “What is he doing? Trump is out of his ever loving mind!. He acts like he doesn’t even want to win,. He’s going it all wrong, wrong, wrong.” Fair enough.
    Pssst Dozer. Brock was advising Jeb’s campaign. Jeb got 130 million together, followed the tried and true campaign gurus and very best conventional know-how inside “this is how you do it” from Brock and………sure, Brock is fun to read. Where is Jeb now? That was another short gig for Brock. I, for one, am liking it that Trump is doing everything wrong, wrong, wrong.
    Boy is Brock all butt hurt after Trump labeled his candidate Low Engery Jeb…..”Jeb is so low energy that he can only say ‘Jeb’ and not his last name….unless he is trying to hide his last name.” Trump is a funny guy. Heard Jeb and W and HW are boycotting the convention. Odd. Is Brock going to the convention? Who knows, he might find a candidate for his next campaign gig. I’ll give that one a vote of no confidence as well.

    Liberals lost their minds when Pat Smith spoke at the GOP convention last night. They can’t stand hearing someone who lost her son (and was lied to by Hillary Clinton about why it happened) telling the truth.
    A liberal writer for GQ Magazine named Bethlehem Shoals even said on Twitter that he wanted to beat her to death.
    Jammie Wearing Fools reported:
    GQ ‘Journalist’ on Pat Smith: ‘I would like to beat her to death’
    The speech by one of Hillary Clinton’s Benghazi victims ruined the night for Chris Matthews, but it really hit home for this tool.
    Shoals is obviously worried about blowback because he deleted the tweet and wrote an apology:
    An Apology for Last Night’s Tweet
    Last night, when Pat Smith was speaking onstage at the Republication National Convention, I tweeted that “no matter how many children she’s lost, I’d like to beat her to death.” That’s what I said, and I accept full responsibility for my actions and their consequences.

    Oh and when the press went after her dress, and did not say anything about the mom’s who had sons killed,the press simply again reinforced why the people despise the media. But like blockheads, the media thinks they are loved. Delusional.

    My my. The battle lines are being drawn. Hey, you all can follow that stuff. I have been sent out on a scouting mission to peak over the horizon and keep my eyeballs on what Obama is doing. Last time I got distracted with Bubba and his Mini-Me Loretta along with The James Comney Comedy Hour, I took my eyes off Barry for just a few weeks. By the time I realized my rookie mistake, I looked around and all hate was breaking loose and POTUS had put it into overdrive to fundamently transform America into a Banana Republic. You guys hold down the fort, I am roughing it behind enemy lines. Together we can!
    Now, let’s look at this from another angle. Melania (?) Trump was told those fateful words were from our current First Lady’s 2008 meet and greet speech. Mrs. Trump sez, “I like what she said. I am going to use that. Great lines. That is how I feel.” Good job sister Michelle.” The poor speechwriter aide working with Melania Trump told her, but she got overruled. Mrs. T was paying Mrs. O a beatiful compliment. Done stood her ground and spoke from her heart, even though she can’t stand politics and all that bull puckey. What a nice gesture paid to Mrs. O. More than reaching across the aisle. It was telling Michelle “you go girl”. Nothing to do with the Clintons.
    Hillary being Hillary, took Mrs.T’s charm and independence as threatening, saw an opening and went for the jugular. No surprise there. Then the hyperventilating media (lynch mob) was besides themselves salivating, waiting for Trump to throw the young speechwriter (temp aide to his lovely wife) to the wolves. But nooooo. Trump said “hey, I like the kid. She made a mistake. She is part of the team and you aren’t going to touch one hair on her head. Not one. I got her back. She will work in this town again and we don’t trash her career to save our own skins. Put it in perspective. And go pound sand”.
    Hmmm. Wonder what the Trumps discussed around the breakfast table this morning. I can only hazard a guess: “Donald, I wanted every word in the speech. It was my speech. I like that young woman you sent over to help me writeit. She warned me. But, if you touch one hair on her head……..oh, she has to put her children in daycare while she is helping us on the campaign. Maybe we can give her a raise and find a job for her. Honey, not one hair on her head…or…I know how much you hate the silent treatment.”
    Let the healing break forth in song. Charity begins at home. Mrs T, you go girl!

Oh Donald, it was worth a try I suppose. Live and learn…..he has. No harm, no foul.
    Trump knows who has his back and he is courting us now…all of us, with an occasional 3 seconds of lip service to the RINOs. Poor Ryan. Serving out his last few months in office and being a good soldier.p to the end.
    Cleveland? What is a dump. But, thank your lucky stars we don’t have to go to Philly in August. That is like going for a new record high on the misery index. Only a full blown moron would go to Philly in August.

    Oh gosh – the Rs are not of one mind. They think and act according to their own conscience and ideas. Folks actually thinking for themselves! Chaos! Can’t some one with a brown uniform stop this?
    The Dems are WAY better – they all fall into line and hop when some one yells ‘frog’.
    So lemmings and zombies are the way forward for the ‘progressives’. They all act according to script and never once get out of line.
    OMG! Democracy is breaking out! Can’t Hillary stop the madness?

    “I don’t care how many children Pat Smith lost I would like to beat her to death,”
    Hey – there’s a left-wing feel good comment.
    How does G Boardman spin that one?
    The person that posted that on Twitter is still able to post in good standing while a gay conservative has been banned for life from Twitter for – well, we’re not sure and Twitter sure won’t explain.
    There is a great video of the Daily Show crew trying to stop a person from videoing them interviewing some one and telling them they aren’t allowed to do that in a public area.
    The left is full on with repressive censorship of free expression of ideas. Take a stand or bend over and hold your ankles.
    It turns out the R convention has brought out the facists from the wood work.
    There they are. Take a good look.
    What kind of country are we to become?

    Well, MSNBC almost got it right. Almost. They don’t need no trigger warnings for showing the buttons. They, however, need big huge 9 foot tall trigger warnings flashing across the screen if they are going to show buttons with Kiillary’s dog face mug on them.

    Darn, Bill – I was gonna post that one.
    Pretty shocking – I know. The left is coming apart at the seams.
    As you may be aware – there is a safe place in Ohio against the hate crimes at the R convention. At Case Western U. Comfort and hugs for the lefty students that can’t handle opposing thoughts.
    Can’t make this stuff up, folks. The left is losing it.

    Yeah exactly Scott, its clearly the left that’s coming apart this week :)… here’s a good summary of events so far. Freak show indeed!
    “Cruz had made his point and done his damage, providing the latest (and most vivid) illustration of how little control Trump has been able to exert over his own coronation, how much rancor he has failed to exorcise, how few bridges he has succeeded in repairing, how far short he has fallen in making these four days in Cleveland as dazzling and exciting as he’d long promised they would be. They were a bust already before Wednesday night, as The Times’s Adam Nagourney and Jeremy W. Peters chronicled, pointing to the nonsensical order of speakers, the shaky adherence to themes, the unintended disruptions, the self-inflicted distractions, the empty seats in the arena, the hollow emotion on the stage. To read their damning portrait of the convention is to see and hear a big, festive balloon with the air rushing out of it. Cruz took that balloon and stomped on it, smiling all the while and turning a dull affair into a freak show.”

    from our left wing troll – “its clearly the left that’s coming apart this week”
    So – why does the left need it’s little ‘safe space’?
    C’mon, jonnie – you can tell us why!
    Poor widdle lefties – all a-quivering and cowering in abject fear! Different ideas! Shocking new realities!
    The left is so cowered that just a few trigger words sends them scrambling.
    It works every time time with jonnie boy – just ask him to back up anything thing with reason or facts.
    He’s running for the high grass. Go jonnie, go!

    Finally watched 12 seconds of the Republican Convention. Well, 17 minutes actually of a single mom who adopted 3 kids, picked blueberries, raked lawns. He Dad worked at the car wash, her mom waited tables until she was 74 years old.
    She had a message for Dozer. Don’t tell her those are not jobs Americans will not do.
    She had a message for the press. After years of refusing to uncover corruption, do your job.
    I woke up listening to her on the radio. As I did yesterday. I love Laura. You go girl.

    The price of a cigarette lighter: 2 buckss
    The price of a a quart of gas: under a buck.
    The picture of The Stupid lighting himself on fire trying to set Old Glory on fire: Priceless
    “You’re on fire! You’re on fire, stupid!” a Cleveland officer shouted at a protester while firing the extinguishing spray.
    How stupid can you get?. Not only did Stupid Progressive Flag Burner Set himself on fire, he done set others on fire.
    How stupid can Dems get? Those who got set on fire by the Stupid Progressive thought they were being pepper sprayed…by fire extinguishers. They are all stupid.
    You just can’t make this stuff up. Momma said “Stupid is what stupid does.”
