Mollie Hemmingway has her moments. This piece is a really good one. Nick Sandmann sitting on a throne of media skulls!

I doubt I will read anything better than that this week!

Wonderful night.

I thought I would get bored - but excellent speeches and short films.

Highlights of the night.

When the kid put on the MAGA hat and the pro-life speech - awesome!

Abby Johnson gave a powerful speech about her conversion from director of a Planned Parenthood facility to the leader of a non-profit that helps abortion workers escape the industry

I can't imagine how someone can support abortion after hearing her speech. What a horrifying industry of death.

yep, the timing of the Kenosha riots couldn’t be worse for the Democrats.

I think the American people may be tiring of all this black lives matter business, and that every time there is any questionable police incident, the radical types decide it’s time to start a riot.

The liberals tend to be apologists for the riots, but I have a feeling that “middle America” looks at this rioting very differently.

Twitter reply from Lin Wood, Sandman’s lawyer, to the odious Joe Lockhart/CNN who called Sandman s “snot-nosed” kid from Kentucky.

Just to see how they treated republicans, I watched the convention last night on ABC...

It’s remarkable how much disdain and dishonesty Stephanopolis and company put out after every speech given...The facial expressions and looks between each other are totally disgusting...

“Melania Trump gave a long and detailed speech “

A little too long, I would say.

No question about it! And not just the rioting/BLM people are tired about. The nonstop anti-Trump drumbeat by the media while the country is trying to get together is making every citizen with common sense to conclude that the media and the Democrats do not have the country’s best interest at heart.

From the article:

“New Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron had a fantastic debut on the national stage.”

Indeed he did. This is a man with a future. Governor, Senator? Time will tell.

Wonderful night? They have this ridiculously pandering ‘naturalization’ ceremony. They offer up prayers for the guy in Kenosha who, by the way, was a felon known for sexual assault. And not a mention one of Cannon Hinnant. They’ll offer up prayers for criminals legitimately shot by police but no mention of a little boy blown away in his front yard.

LOL, GO LIN WOOD!

Watching the incident against this morning, there is only one possible thing that they hate about Nick Sandmann. All he did was stand there while some disgusting bum beat a drum in his face.

Bette Midler said Melania sounded ignorant and stupid because she spoke with an accent and that as an immigrant of all these years Melania’s English should have been better.

Just thought I’d mention Bette Midler’s comments.

Indeed it is. I’ll take a Mollie Analysis of events over about anyone’s. Extremely knowledgeable, a clear thinker and one my favorites.

Meanwhile Bette probably doesn’t even speak Yiddish, much less any other language.

The secretary of state was arguably off duty (Does he actually turn in a time sheet? I don’t knpw). The claim that a secretary pf state has never made a campaign speech didn’t sound right to me. Maybe in the Hatch Act era it is true, but ever?

Madison, Monroe, and Quincy Adams were sitting secretaries of state who ran for (and won) the presidency.

I didn’t have a chance to check all of them (or even just the ones that were sitting in a Presidential election year), but I did come across this on William Seward:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_H._Seward#1868_election,_retirement_and_death

where Seward made a speech endorsing Grant.

Now the naturalization ceremony was iffy. That was unquestionably an official act. Trump should have conducted it himself.

She’s good. I like her more than her husband, Mark, who is also pretty good.

I have a lot of respect for Mollie’s political analysis and she is always very positive on Trump.
