Good news out of the Middle East, a drone went undetected and struck Tel Aviv! Yemen is suspected to be behind it, meaning this flew under the radar of the Americans , saudis , Israelis , Jordanians, British , and French
You are right, it’s not just good news. In the words of Bill and Ted it is “ most excellent “ news.How is that good news?
They have.Watching Trumps speech, made me realize that all the assassinations of the last 50-60 years , and assassination attempts towards candidates that were "going against the grain". People don't realize but Reagan was an outsider and was made fun of by the media and Elite. They said he was just a movie star. He didn't play the political games that the establishment played. Kennedy, and now Trump. Makes you think the deep state has been around for decades.

I liked the beginning of the speech and I felt like the speech was too long.1. Trump’s speech at 1:32 length was the longest acceptance speech in modern history and about as long as the avg movie! Is that a positive or a negative? I don’t know and assume opinions on that will vary. What do y’all think?
2. He was reading the teleprompter early on, including when he described the shooting in detail and also called for Republicans AND independents AND Dems to unite, which was well done. That was my favorite part of the speech. That portion was far different from his typical speech.
3. However, he then started to ad-lib more and sounded more typical for him for a good portion of the rest.
4. Trump preached “drill, baby, drill”, which dates back to 2008/Sarah Palin when oil production was much lower, a couple of times to bring down gasoline prices. But what he doesn’t say is that crude oil production has in 2023 ironically risen to all-time record highs for ANY country during the Biden admin due to increased fracking. Of course, production levels are largely unrelated to POTUS
policy and are more influenced by free market forces.

Pretty interesting
The speech was ok. First part and the end were good. The other stuff was rambling platform stuff that we pretty much already know. Nothing was won or lost at this convention. It was a really good one. But the focus will rapidly turn away from his speech and the convention to what is going on over in lefty land.Trump came across as the same old, rambling man beyond the first few minutes. I will never understand how Republicans allowed him anywhere near their ticket again. He brings out the base who fondly remember the Limbaugh-esque antics but quite literally no one else. This election was handed to them on a silver platter had they ran someone younger or with real policy chops.
Assuming the Democrats find a reasonable candidate out of their mess in the coming weeks IMO the election is theirs to lose. I don’t say that as a homer, but as a realist seeing Trump on that stage. Independents and undecided voters are craving a return to normalcy that Biden has not delivered. All that chaos of Trump 2017-2020 just came back into the collective consciousness last night.
He lost Coulter again
It was a rambling unfocused mess. I only turned it on at the end thinking it would be long over and hear what Fox had to say. You could sense the crowd wondering what it would end.
