“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!
1 John 2:11 But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh indarkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darknesshath blinded his eyes.
There were two unifying speeches at the Convention which will go down as historic. One by the villain who everyone told if he gave it he would destroy his career and the other which made Donald Trump the overwhelming favorite to win in a tsunami of hardhats. One was a rant of pure ambition and anger while the other was born out of just anger. They both accomplished a unification of the Party and left one man standing and the other at the end of a rope dancing.
This convention by any measurement was a success. You have to be in awe of the level of rhetoric which was displayed. These were the people who have been ridiculed by the Establishmedia and for most that includes the Republican establishment. They have been hardened by fire and the speeches showed precision and flare. They all reflected what true Americans are thinking without PC censors and did not hide from the fact they are capitalists or any of the benefits which go with that capitalism. As great as Christie, Rudy and the Laura were, Donald Jr encompassed the passion of the conservative movement. He hit homer after homer after homer as he unabashedly laid out the real problems we are having. His delivery was outstanding and showed the future is bright if he wants to go that direction.
The theme was we can do much better. If you hamstring your economy with regulation after regulation and vilify your most important people you are going to end up where we are. This was not a bashing speech about how bad Obama and Clinton are it was a speech about how corrupt the system is. From the schools to Moscow on the Potomac the entire system needs to be purged. It’s just the first thing to purge is Hillary and the Clinton Family Laundry which he nailed all of. Don Jr mentioned he can drive a D9 and that is a much needed skill in DC since most of that city needs to be dozed and salted.
For as brilliant as everyone claims Ted Cruz is he sure hides it well. We have heard he is almost godlike in his conservatism by Beck, Levin and Rush but where is all of that intellect. He may have had book smarts although it is just as likely they were Affirmative Action smarts, but he really lacks in common sense. He is one of those eggheads who couldn’t pour piss out of a boot if it had the instructions printed on the heel.
After spending the entire time from his suspended campaign he and his army manipulated the convention and its delegates to steal the nomination. They had visions of grandeur same as the Paulbots they would win it with their delegates and start a coup that would get the rules changed allowing their delegates to start a resurrection sweeping him to victory. It was a fool’s errand and was squelched while looking extremely childish to the nation wanting to watch some great speeches.
The Trump children did not disappoint. They are extremely well schooled and attractive. Don Jr reminded us of what America was and what it could be again. He spoke of freeing the American dream and covered issues that have not been mentioned for fear of being called a bigot or greedy capitalist. He went to the heart of the Marxist machine and talked about kids locked in poor schools due to unions owning the politicians who are the real problem keeping these kids in the cycle of desperation with no path out. He talked about real issues and struggles which are affecting Americans and talked to their efforts to survive in this Obama/Clinton economy and how only his dad would begin to fix it.
Ted Cruz had to give his speech. This was supposed to be his acceptance speech after his army of adoring delegates executed his master plan. He had used his slimy lawyer skills to find the weaknesses in the rules to force a vote and allow the Trump delegates who were really his to vote Cruz and take it to a second and third vote where they could gather coalitions and steal the nomination. He was to arrive at this convention as a conquering hero and here he was entering the stage walking out to his adoring fans saving the Party from evil Trump.
When walking out to a stage that looks suspiciously like a gallows and there is a noose around your neck, don’t pull that lever next to you; it can be very destructive to your career. So he gave the worst speech of the night full of lofty bromides and short on anything resembling solutions. He gave it with his usual haughty attitude looking down on the lowly peons. Finally after going three times his time limit speaking at someone else’s celebration and pushing the Primetime speeches back he pulls the lever and is booed and heckled by the entire nation uniting the Party against Judas Cruz as he did the hangman’s dance to everyone’s enjoyment.
The very best speech of the week was by Donald Trump Sr. We had not seen or heard a speech like that ever. For all of the critics who said has not given solutions or was going to go easy on Hillary, he answered both of those questions in spades. He made the case of her corruption and incompetence point by point and event by event. He made the ultimate contrast between her and the Law and Order President and dug a canyon between them. There could not be a more stark difference to choose this election.
He then went into why this country is in the situation it is in. Don Jr was a preview to this speech as were all of the speeches, but he gave it with power and strength. He spoke to the fear people are having walking down the street or the anger we are feeling of watching cops killed by people who are being enflamed by our President and the DNC. He spoke to the inability to have an economy if you have anarchy ruling the streets and delivered it clearly and articulately. We have not had a candidate with verbal skills like his since Reagan and this was a Reagan speech.
After setting up the need for law and order he went into the economy and how to fix it. He spoke of money manipulation by foreign countries as well as the need to protect our borders. His border discussion was highlighted by the victims of Mexican criminals who have been allowed to roam freely and the lives they have taken and the pain of their families. He spoke to the inner city and how they are living in a rigged system just like the corruption he has been exposed to. Yes it was a dark speech, it was the truth about how dark America has been allowed to become and this week they with the Obamedia help are going to sell us darkness as light.
Best convention evah. It had everything including the villain who destroyed himself on national TV. That drama brought an extra million people wanting to see if Trump could withstand the pressure of giving the speech of his life. He not only gave it, it was the speech of all our lifetimes and set the bar for Hillary.
He articulated what America is about and why it can become the best it has ever been. Our generation has a chance to pass down to following generations a country which once again is the lighthouse for the world to navigate. The world is in darkness and needs America to show it how to shine the light of God’s truth into that darkness. It needs to go back to her Christian foundation and once again become the incredible melting pot it once was. That is her strength. It is a lofty goal and will take time, but we finally have the Dark Knight willing to answer her call.
Pray America wakes
Note: The above opinion is not necessarily my own, but FReeper Bray’s. If you wish to discuss this, please ping Bray.
The only darkness is Obama’s perpetual gaslight campaign telling us this is the new normal and all is as it should be.
That is dark.
Shining light on it is not dark.
But if you are evil like he and his media groupies are, sure it is dark, because to us, it is light.
Outstanding, bray.
Great line that the bar has been raised for Hillary. I can’t see any way Hillary can even equal it, let alone increase it.
We were impressed with speech after speech. More than I can remember at any convention and all good to excellent. I cannot pick a favorite but many were memorable. Chris Christie, Rudy, Donald Trump Jr and, of course, Donald Trump Sr. just to name a few.
I doubt we will watch the Democrats this week. Why put ourselves through the ringer for it? We can catch the highlights online.
You captured the essence of the entire convention in just a few paragraphs. Something other writers have tired all week to do and failed miserably.
What was so reassuring for me was Don Jr. and Melania who are budding national leaders in their own rights. Producing kids like that is a life-long job and their parents, one soon to be potus, should be more than proud.
The Donald as you stated touched on every base and then mowed the catcher down as he crossed the plate untouched. He will be our next President and as you stated following in the huge footsteps of the one who stated that:
America is a shining city upon a hill whose beacon light guides freedom-loving people everywhere.
Awesome!
Here’s another goodie we don’t want to forget the clinton association with the terrorist the founddation and the MB

However, it’s his previous job that has Americans concerned. Prior to his stint as a senior Brotherhood official and adviser to Morsi, el-Haddad reportedly served for five years as a top official at the Clinton Foundation, a nonprofit group founded by former President Bill Clinton.
El-Haddad was the face of the Muslim Brotherhood and became well-known for supporting the organization’s crackdown on civil liberties in Egypt as part of their Islamist agenda.
He achieved this role soon after he left his position with the Clinton Foundation, but much of his official work with the Brotherhood took place while he was still claiming to be employed by the Clinton’s, according to the Times.
El-Haddad served as the Clinton Foundation’s city director from August 2007 to August 2012, according to hisLinkedIn profile.
But, his work with the Brotherhood began in February 2011 when he led the organization’s economic recovery program, the Renaissance Project. Then, in May 2011, El-Haddad officially became a senior adviser for foreign affairs in Morsi’s Freedom and Justice Party — more than a year before he said he left the Clinton’s non-profit.
This isn’t the first time the Clintons have been accused of working with members of the Brotherhood.
One of Hillary Clinton’s advisors, Huma Abedin, was found to have significant links to the Islamist organization, as many of her family members held positions of rank within the Brotherhood.
...................
Anyone who thinks the Clintons are trustworthy must be delusional, and the fact that they are so close to returning to the White House is truly frightening. We MUST do everything we can to ensure that these Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated crooks don’t take control of our country.
