Free Republic

It is the kind of move that, had the players been changed, would have had Brian Stelter pontificating loudly about the inference of intolerance. But as the Republican convention kicked off last night, we saw a very curious decision made by the production staff at Brian’s network, and you have to raise a number of questions about the move, especially considering some of the comments made by Stelter himself. Kim Klacik made a quick name for herself with a campaign ad she made to run for the representative seat in her hometown of Baltimore. That a forceful person of color...

Why is Nancy saying that President Trump's supporters are 'enemies of the state'? Is she SO stupid that she doesn't know that expression 'Enemies of the state', was cast in the faces of all and any people who challenged the STASI? With that allegation, many went to gulags and were NEVER seen or heard from again. How incredibly ignorant Liberals ARE!

C-SPAN's livestream of the first night of the Republican National Convention has attracted nearly 440,000 views, marking a substantial increase over the start of the Democratic National Convention, which drew 76,000 views. The numbers for Monday night come ahead of traditional TV ratings from Nielsen Media Research, which will be released on Tuesday afternoon. According to Nielsen, 18.7 million people tuned in to the first night of the virtual Democratic convention from Milwaukee and Wilmington, Del. last Monday night, which featured speeches from former first lady Michelle Obama and former Gov. John Kasich (R-Ohio) Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's speech...

(Aug. 24) The Republican Party formally nominated President Donald Trump for a second term in the White House Monday, one of the first acts of a GOP convention that has been dramatically scaled down to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Trump has sought to minimize the toll of the pandemic, but its impact was evident as proceedings began in Charlotte. Instead of the thousands of people who were expected to converge on this city for a week-long extravaganza, just 336 delegates participated in a roll-call vote from a Charlotte Convention Center ballroom. The GOP convention is a crucial moment...

It turns out, four days of a Zoom/telethon-type of convention did not do any polling favors for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. Presidential candidates and incumbents typically enjoy a five point post-convention bounce, according to Gallup, which is an “expected and anticipated part of each presidential campaign.” But not for Joe.

The three major broadcast networks — ABC, CBS and NBC — and Fox News will air the convention on all four nights from 10-11 p.m. ET. To watch the full program, from 9-11 p.m., tune into CNN, PBS, MSNBC or C-SPAN. Please feel free to post other links, as I am sure there will be many others.

Police have arrested five people in Charlotte, North Carolina, where protesters demonstrated against the Republican National Convention for a second night. The arrests happened late Saturday after a group of demonstrators left a park and began to peacefully march throughout uptown Charlotte, police said in a statement Sunday. Police used pepper spray after a demonstrator picked up a steel pipe that was being used for perimeter security fencing and aggressively approached officers, police said. One person was charged with possession of a weapon at a protest, when police seized a firearm after being alerted that a demonstrator riding a bicycle...

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Protesters returned to the streets of Charlotte, North Carolina, to demonstrate for a second night as GOP officials gathered in the city for the Republican National Convention. Police used bicycles to block protesters Saturday night from gathering close to the Charlotte Convention Center, the site of the convention. The Secret Service set up a perimeter, news outlets reported. The demonstrators' chants included, "No RNC in CLT” and “Black Lives Matter.” Several people were arrested Friday, and at least one person was arrested Saturday. Charlotte-Mecklenburg police tweeted that a protester armed with a gun was arrested, and...

This wasn’t supposed to happen. During this week’s Democratic National Convention, which was supposed to launch Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's ticket into the fall election with good feelings and high poll numbers, President Trump’s approval rating surged. The Rasmussen Reports daily average for Trump, which is spread over three days, hit 51% this week — and has stayed there. On the first day of the Democratic National Convention, Trump's approval rating was 47%. It rose as the president was taking hits at the virtual convention from former President Barack Obama, 2016 foe Hillary Rodham Clinton, and a host of...

Wilmington Police have arrested a 21-year-old woman they said assisted in the theft of a 7-year-old child's MAGA hat outside the Democratic National Convention in Wilmington. Police arrested Camryn Amy on August 22, 2020, a day after Olivia M. Winslow was arrested and charged in connection to the same incident, which occurred in the 600 block of Justison Street and went viral after a video of the exchange was posted on social media. Video circulated on social media by Students for Trump shows two women, alleged by authorities to be Amy and Winslow, tearing up Trump signs and stealing a...

That’s sloppy, Joe. Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden reprised his penchant for borrowing lines from other people’s work this week — apparently relying a bit too heavily on the words of a deceased Canuck party leader during his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention, reports said. Biden concluded his Thursday night speech by saying: “For love is more powerful than hate. Hope is more powerful than fear. Light is more powerful than dark.”

Julia Louis-Dreyfus is a funny lady. How can you not laugh when watching Elaine awkwardly dance on Seinfeld? That's why her flat jokes and terrible timing during Thursday night's Democratic National Convention were pretty surprising. In fact, on more than occasion, her jokes were downright cruel. We knew from the start her emceeing would be cringeworthy because of this early exchange with former presidential candidate Andrew Yang. This one short, brutal clip will give you an idea. It got worse. At one point she joked about President Trump's golf game. But it was her insult toward Vice President Mike Pence...

The 2020 Democratic National Convention [DNC] was so snooze-worthy, one cannot help but wonder why Democrats didn’t schedule speeches sometime between Joe Biden’s afternoon naps and the senior citizen early bird hour at Golden Corral. At least their speeches were live in 2016, unlike 2020’s virtual Zoom-fest, which played like a low budget zombie apocalypse movie with swarms of angry undead people threatening civilization’s collapse unless we elect as president the closest thing to a zombie America’s had. Sure, Biden proved he can still read, but there’s no proof he can comprehend; overall, Sleepy Old Joe gives the impression he’s...

Same clichés, promises and buzzwords. He didn't keep the promises of the 2008 speech, he won't keep promises in the 2020 speech. WATCH THE VIDEO....

..CNN and MSNBC were gushing with relief that Joe Biden got through his acceptance speech without any glaring gaffes except the nonsensical final line, conservatives were gobsmacked by the sheer vacuousness of it. >snip< But was Joe’s speech broadcast to us live, and just as delivered? He was not in front of a live audience; he was behind a podium on a bare stage with all the flags and colorful background added digitally using the same technique – blue-screen - that TV weathermen use to stand in front of a weather map. He was clearly reading every word from the...

(CNN) President Donald Trump's relentless effort to undermine Joe Biden as "Sleepy Joe" backfired this week when the former vice president delivered a forceful speech accepting the Democratic presidential nomination. Now the pressure is on the President to right his own campaign as he heads into the Republican National Convention next week. Trump, a former television producer and the ultimate showman, is heavily involved in the planning for the four-day extravaganza that will give him an opportunity for a reset. He is aiming to create a more dynamic program than the Democrats with more live programming and audience interaction to...

The Democrat convention was the most boring thing I have ever seen, but it’s hard to compete with the traditional conventions, with their thousands of rabid political supporters going nuts, making noise and having fun. But now, who wants to see the same people we see on cable news everyday giving televised speeches? Trump will liven things up on his own, but does anyone have any other ideas on how to get more people to watch?
