Thanks for Posting. I attended the two Trump Rallies in Southern CA during the Campaign, Costa Mesa and Anaheim.

Don’t know what it is, but it is something magical. Everybody was having a great time. The Costa Mesa Rally was early on and People didn’t know what to expect which made it even better than Anaheim as I remember.

I remember seeing Dick Cheney and Colon Powell when they were Campaigning in 2000 here. Completely different feel.

Great job my FRiend.

Pepperball Star
(to the tune of the Byrds “rock and roll star”)

So you want to be a Pepperball Star
Just listen now to what I say
Get yourself an Antifa Jar
Then Piss in it, you’re on your way

And with your Mask on tight
You attack the Cops and you’ll be alright
Then it’s time to go downtown
Where the Anarchists won’t let you down

Sell your Soul to the Soros Clan
Sacrifice your Balls, be an Antifa Man
In a week or two when you show off your Scar
Just be yourself you’re a Pepperball Star

The price you paid was worth all the pain
Who needs two Balls, you’re a little insane
The money from Soros doesn’t get you too far
But in the Youtube world you’re a Pepperball Star

I've heard it called "the madness of crowds" like the way people can shout at football games and everybody expects that and is OK with it. I sure had fun yelling in support of our President during his speech. Made me forgot how bad my feet were hurting even.

Great report, thanks for posting! Many of us living far away could not attend.

If I knew how to put it to Music, I would give it a shot.

Hopefully someone will, or a reasonable facsimile.

Rock and Roll Star seemed like the right song structure, but I doubt many of the younger crowd ever heard of the Byrds.

Now I know I’m old (64) using the term “younger crowd”. LOL

Tell you what, I would have liked to have seen the total eclipse . In Phoenix it got to about 70% or so. I took this picture during the maximum eclipse here in Phoenix. instead of the usually circular blobs of light that you normally see under tress you get a bunch of crescents instead.

Ha, at least you got a “taste” of the eclipse. The 100% here was just incredible.

Appreciate your 100% of the rally.

There were probably at most 1000 protesters (according to the police). We had between 14,000 and15,000 in the rally venue. The protest organizers bragged ahead of time that there would be a massive crowd of at least 30,000. Didn’t happen.

There were probably that many outside still in line who never made it in. I was one of them. I met a nice elderly couple on the light rail on my way in. They were having trouble signing up for tickets so I did it for them and had the tickets on my phone for them (all they had was an old flip phone). We stuck together during the 2 1/2 hour wait in line and finally the man couldn't take any more and they gave up. Since President Trump was already talking we assumed we would never get in.

I was about 40 ft from the doors when they announced they weren't letting in anyone else. I figured the trains would be crazy crowded so I headed back to the stop. It was kind of funny because there were anti-Trump people on the train and pro-Trump and everyone was pretty decent to one another.

They never asked for my ticket number. I had it written on a piece of paper but their soul concern was that you did not get inside with any weapons.

Looking back I think I blew it. If you look at the excerpt I posted it seems like I'm just doing a vanity post rather than some real reporting on site from the event.

I figured with how many people were filing in. Doesn’t matter - never got inside the doors anyway.

It the Tea Party had any sign with those obscene words, the Liestream Media would have hauled the Tea Party up the yard arms. They were watching the Tea Party with a microscope to find one tiny discrepancy they could make the proverbial mountain out of the mole hill.

I had the privilege of spending last few days in nj visiting my mom who is battling aggressive cancer. while there saw the protestors with their Racist signs at Rt 206/Lamington Road intersection the 3-4 times we drove by over the days. These people who don’t take the time to actually listen to Trump but just focus on bits of what he says that they don’t agree with and squawk about it are such a waste of human life and precious time.

I had the pleasure (LOL) of flying yesterday next to 2 men and a woman discussing how crazy Trump was for saying he’d shut the govt if wall is not built and how the Dems need to mount a huge take over of the House in 2018. I chuckled on occasion but did not engage in their conversation because I didn’t want a problem at 30k feet and had another leg of flight to go and didn’t want to take chance of being tossed off next flight for trying to help these fools see they’re seeing things through liberal and media distortion not truth nor wisdom.
(I did not listen to Trump’s speech nor any other news of the last week as I was helping mom, I just have had my eyes so open they cannot shut thru this website and others, to the lunacy that is running around and breeding and growing in the USofA and it’s hard not to see it when around the lemmings who just believe.)

One of them later said he just read of how science has discovered it’s a woman’s X chromosome that can cause a person to (decide they are the wrong sex) be transgender, so transgender has a genetic link. I was glad we were landing at that point because I wanted to get away from these clowns fast. Darwin misled many, and many people are still listening to today’s scientific idiots instead of God and truth.
