GOP convention organizers unveiled the schedule for the Republican National Convention on Sunday amid tensions from violence at home and terrorism and instability abroad. Thus, Monday’s theme, “Make America Safe Again,” is particularly timely.

“From attacks on our own soil and overseas to the tragedy in Benghazi, the policies of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have left us vulnerable,” the program announcement reads. “Our immigration system is broken, leaving our country open to security threats and the negative consequences of illegal immigration. A Donald Trump administration will listen to and learn from our nation’s heroes who have put themselves in harm’s way and pursue a national security strategy and foreign policy that will strengthen our military and make America safe again.”

Here’s a look at Monday’s speakers:

Willie Robertson, CEO of Duck Commander and Buck Commander, star of Duck Dynasty 
Governor Rick Perry, Former Governor of Texas
Marcus Luttrell, U.S. Navy SEAL
Scott Baio, Actor and Television Producer 
Pat Smith, Mother of Benghazi victim, Sean Smith 
Mark Geist, U.S. Marine Corps veteran, Fought in Battle of Benghazi 
John Tiegen, U.S. Marine Corps veteran, Fought in Battle of Benghazi 
Kent Terry and Kelly Terry-Willis, The Brian Terry Foundation
Antonio Sabato, Jr., Actor 
Mary Ann Mendoza, Immigration Reform Advocate 
Sabine Durden, Immigration Reform Advocate 
Jamiel Shaw, Immigration Reform Advocate 
U.S. Representative Michael McCaul (TX-10)
David Clarke, Sheriff of Milwaukee County 
U.S. Representative Sean Duffy (WI-7) 
Rachel Campos Duffy, The LIBRE Initiative 
Darryl Glenn, El Paso County Commissioner 
U.S. Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) 
Karen Vaughn, Mother of fallen U.S. Navy SEAL
U.S. Senator Jeff Sessions (R-Alabama) 
Rudy Giuliani, Former Mayor of New York City
Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, U.S. Army (ret.)
U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) 
Jason Beardsley, Concerned Veterans for America 
U.S. Representative Ryan Zinke (MT)

"The plan for the Trump campaign for this convention is to help the American people understand more about Donald Trump the man, not just the candidate they see on the campaign trail," Trump’s campaign manager Paul Manafort said on Sunday during a news conference.

"This is a Trump convention," he added, noting the Trump will make several appearances during the convention.

I'm not sure Trump's well educated, well adjusted, well spoken and professional children have much in common with Trigglypuff and the other snowflakes. Let's hope they can pull some of them in.

May this be the day that marks the beginning of the end for globalist, socialist, black racists, gender confused perverts, climate alarmists, open border illegal immigrant advocates, Islamist coddling, White, hetro Christian bashing, American hating, cop killing democrat/socialist/progressive dominance of America.

“Make America Safe Again”

Great theme, but I can’t help but notice the RNC is piggy-backing off of Trump’s “Make America Great Again”.

I sure hope they have good security for this event.
I've read about the local police department not being very cooperative RE: keeping BLM protestors out of the way.

It would be unfortunate if the 'rats had the opportunity to say, They can't even keep their own convention safe, never mind America.

To make America safe again is the most important issue that we face.

Breitbart (h/t Emma) Last year, Obama directed his administration to accept at least 10,000 Syrian refugees over the course of this fiscal year…(but has since raised it to 100,000). However, Clinton said that Obama’s plan did not go nearly far enough— Clinton called for a 500% increase to Obama’s refugee resettlement operation.

Elect Hillary and America is finished.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

this is actually very appropriate for today’s program.

if you’ll look at the rest of the week, the GOP program will have a new tie in each days to trump’s main theme of “make america great again.”

monday: make american safe again
tuesday: make america work again
wednesday: make america first again
thursday: make americaone again

personally, I think “piggy backing” it is a very clever tie in to trump/gop platform

Maybe so. I noticed the various themes in a later article. Maybe the RNC is coming around to Trump.

Making America safe is up at the top of the list for me regardless of who’s theme it is...and will speak to many voters.

In making America safe again the plan needs to be connected to making central and state governments small again!

Another top issue is to do the opposite of what Hitlery proposes. Slash the corporate tax to zero and stop making the middle class taxpayers the ones who have to carry this evil government!

Eliminate government worker pensions and perhaps industry will follow. People need to save for their OWN retirement. cut out welfare and illegitimate births will decline.
