“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:28 (KJV)
The difference between the DNC Trump hate fest and the Trump Convention could not be any more stark. It was the difference between the East and the West, do you want to Make America Great or Burn America Down? After a week of how racist and evil America/Trump is and by far the worst country in history President Trump reminds Americans of what a great country they have and why the world longs to come here and breath free.
You knew he would do a better job than that High School Zoom convention, but the professionalism and theme was a complete surprise. No longer did you have the worship of the mask and social distancing as you had American after American go to the podium and tell their story of success. Finally, you had real people tell real stories about America and Trump without the Three Pillars (Academia, Media, Communist Party) filter telling their lies.
President Trump is Don Quixote fighting the Three Pillars of Indoctrination. These are not windmills but real dragons trying to take the soul of this country and replace it with atheistic paganism. You saw throughout the convention he was fighting the spiritual battle as person after person came forward telling how their relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ saved their lives in prison and eventually returned home. You heard these stories from blacks and whites telling how their lives were changed spiritually allowing them to change physically. Their story was Donald J Trump’s story of Salvation and forgiveness.
How stark was that message to the one presented by Barak and Michelle and the BLM convention? They told of a country built on slavery and how it was a deeply flawed country since blacks are still oppressed like the 1960s. They told of the separate diners and water fountains we still have in America and because cops are arresting blacks this country does not deserve to be great. She told how there is no way for a black to succeed in America as she collects their presidential retirement in her 20 million-dollar second home in Martha’s Vineyard, pretty much just like Jim Crow.
While they were tearing down America and fanning the flames for riots President Trump was doing just the opposite. He reminded Americans of its history through the light of a pioneer spirit and conquering the land both physically and spiritually. The convention started out with an Indian Chief explaining how President Trump helped his tribe through the Chinese virus and how much his tribe appreciated his heart.
The convention spoke of how America is the last place to escape to in the world once Communism destroys it. The Cuban speaker told of how the same people are fooling the youts with the same lies of free healthcare and education when it all comes at a price, your freedom and in Cuba’s case, standing in front of a pock filled wall.
The speaker who defined the two conventions was the widow of David Dorn. She spoke of how Obama’s BLM terrorists murdered her husband in cold blood as they were destroying St Louis because he was trying to stop them from looting his friend’s store. She told through running tears of how he answered an alarm in the middle of the night as the city was burning by Obama’s military to check out what was going on and protect the store from the looters. As a 40-year retired cop she told how he went while she slept and did not wake her like normal since he probably knew she would talk him out of it or want to come and help.
She then told of how the next thing she heard was the doorbell. She called for David to answer it and he never responded. When she finally got to the door, she was met by the crying chief of police giving her the news every cop’s wife dreads to hear. David was overpowered at the store and shot in the head while the savage live streamed it on social media and unbelievably David’s grandson was watching and did not realize his grandfather was being killed. Tears ran down her face unobstructed as she told her horrific story thanks to Obama and Michelle’s need to destroy America with their BLM lies.
In reality David is the norm and blacks being killed by cops is the exception. Barak, Michelle, and Biden want you to believe just the opposite. When 13% of the population commit over 50% of the violent crime you are going to have cops killed by blacks over 50% of the time. Those numbers are increasing as the BLM doxology says blacks should be allowed to rob, rape and murder without consequences. The BLM theology says cops cannot interfere or arrest blacks no matter what the crime since America is the worst country in history, far worse than Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union in their world.
BLM is the latest club for the Three Pillars of Brainwashing which include the NBA, NFL, MLB, Hollywierd, Nike, Pepsi, Wall Street et al says that the criminal in Kenosha WI should not have been shot. To imagine two cops answering a 911 call on a convicted rapist who was beating his girlfriend who had a restraining order for sexual assault and likely had a knife in his hand to kill her and they were completely second guessed by BLM. He resisted arrest, was tased told to stop as he went to his car and reached into his car for possibly a gun and then was finally shot.
What exactly was the cop supposed to do different? He was a dirtbag the DNC needs to keep the riots going and the sports world is fanning those flames for a convicted rapist of a 14 yr. old and had already sexually assaulted this girlfriend who called 911 with a restraining order for sneaking in her house and sexually assaulting her. What next when a black murderer gets shot are the streets going to burn then too BLM?
President Trump is a breath of fresh air in a BLM world. His convention was four days of celebrating what is right with America. He reminded her citizens why she is the greatest country on the planet with her can do spirit.
He had people from oppressed countries like the blind Chinese dissident telling of being tortured and imprisoned for standing against their tyrannical dictatorship. He read in braille of what it is like in a country like China and how people have no freedom of work, education, healthcare, or religion only the State.
He spoke of what it is like to yearn to breathe the cool breath of freedom in America when all you have is the dark dang stench of Communism where you are forced to work where the state tells you to work at starvation wages with no hope of change. There you only have an image of America and Lady Liberty dreaming what that would be as people dream around the world from China to Cuba to Russia yearning for that breath of free air.
Mike Pence’s speech from Ft McHenry was a bit dull since he refused to be the attack dog and stuck to the usual canned speech, however the symbolism of giving it at the site of the Star Spangle Banner’s origination was incredible. The fort was the perfect metaphor of the last four years of the Trump administration being bombed 24/7/365 by the Three Pillars yet his flag was still there. No matter how hard they bombarded him with lies and accusations from Russia to Ukraine to the constant racist charges he is still standing and moving forward with his faithful Sancho Pence by his side.
President Trump’s speech at the end was the cherry on the top. Do you want to make America great or do you want to burn it down? He did all the heavy lifting in his speech both telling what he has done and what policies he plans to do in the next term as well as hammering Biden. All the pundiots claimed the speech was too long or not fiery enough but they have no clue who Trump is or what his supporters crave. They craved President Trump, nothing else and boy did he deliver a show.
The speech was long on detail and short on flowers. He was calmed to reach those delicate women who do not like the red meat which men prefer. He reassured Americans that the future will be fine, and this virus is only temporary with solutions on the horizon. He spoke of the need to reclaim the streets from Obama’s army of criminals and replace burning buildings with safe streets. He pointed out which Party is fanning this violence and which is against it, the same one who wanted pitchforks and torches last regime.
Finally, he gave the history of America and her unquenchable pioneer spirit. He spoke of how people came from oppression to settle the shores and then their spirit wanted to clear the fields and mine the land. He spoke of winning wars around the world and exploring space with his need to plant Old Glory on Mars which is at the limits of America’s imagination. It was a literary masterpiece which was delivered perfectly reminding her citizens of how good she was after a week of claiming how bad. He relit Lady Liberty’s torch after Barak tried to extinguish it. It was seventy minutes of pure pleasure firing up his troops and giving all of the fence sitters all the information, they needed to make their decision to stay on the same path through the wilderness.
Just when you thought Trump could not surprise you, he brings out the opera singer. As you listened to some of the most beautiful music on the planet you questioned why at an all American speech he was singing an Italian opera the tenor switches to English and you find he is singing the Hallelujah song. What a tearjerker as he stirs your soul with beautiful praise songs and eventually America the Beautiful and God Bless America leading into the fireworks. It was the best Convention evah given and likely the best one in the future, you cannot top Trump, it is impossible with his ability to entertain.
The two conventions were stark paths and accomplished along with the burning cities, what they were meant to do. You could not have a clearer choice; do you want to Make America Great Again or Burn America Down?
Pray for the election

Yes I am compiling a Blog about the great pandemic of 2020 and how my country stupidly shut down the economy. We will have opinions, political and cultural highlights, my personal experience, social media details, even TV reviews since I watch so much TV while in my home jail. We shall, as always, end with a smile.

MISC. PANDEMIC NOTES OF THE WEEK
(an update for my descendants)
While the Republican National Convention was the big political news this past week, goodness there's been plenty of news elsewhere.
Let us discuss this Hurricane Laura. She came in at a level 4. And while the storm immediately started to lose strength upon landfall in the Louisiana/Texas area, it still caused tons of damage.
I live in Delaware, yon descendants, and before I lived in Maryland. I've lived through plenty of hurricanes. Once upon a time I would get a bit excited by hurricanes but as I age just the though of one near or coming my way terrifies me.
---------------------------
The whole country at this time, yon descendants, if full of rioters and looters. From Chicago to Portland to some silly-named town in Wisconsin, even in my beloved Baltimore, they loot the Wal-Marts and groceries. The claim by the rioters is they are protesting the shooting of innocent blacks by the hated police. The claim by the Democrats is that they are "mostly peaceful".
Since the Democrats have recently discovered that Americans do not like having their cities burned with the stores looted they have begun to condemn such actions.
Duh.

MAJOR POLITICAL EVENTS OF THE WEEK
(another update)
But of course the Republican National Convention was wonderful to behold. Great speakers to include the Sandmann kid who they accused of starting WWIII, to Melania Trump, mocked by the wonderful Bett Midler, to, of course President Donald Trump.
Trump showed up every day during the convention but he gave his speech, as is the tradition, on the last day.
The Fox pundits immediately asserted that Trump's speech was too long. It was 70 minutes but hey, it was virtual for the most part. The folks on Zoom TV could have some snacks while he spoke, or even take a nap. Besides, this is Trump being Trump. He loves to speak before the people and he did it in the White House.
Of course the Democrats are going to impeach him for daring to do such a thing. Trump had already changed the locale twice due to the virus. And he IS the President and he does live in the White House.
The Democrats are unhappy folks. Their convention was an endless drone of how bad America is, how awful are the people. The Republicans played patriotic songs and put on a great fireworks display after Trump's speech.
Vice-President Pence gave his speech from my beloved Baltimore's Fort McHenry. I will vote for Pence in a minute in 2004.
A great time was had by all, even by us sitting at home.

MAJOR CULTURE EVENTS OF THE WEEK
(one more update)
WHERE THE HECK IS RUSH LIMBAUGH?
As I write this on a Friday I note that Rush Limbaugh has not been on his show all week. Usually Rush informs us ahead of time that he will be out or if he didn't get a chance ahead of time, the guest host will generally give a reason and some estimate of when he will be back.
Nothing this week except two mediocre hosts (where the heck is Mark Steyn while I'm at it?) who just said they were filling in for Rush.
We all know that Rush has cancer but of late he's been telling us how his new medical treatment is working out well for him.
This is very odd. ***Note that this was written before Friday's show when Rush explained his absence.
Melania's regroomed White House Garden.
In the picture below, on the left is the old design. On the right is the new garden design as created by the First Lady.
Frankly I like the older one with the trees and the color. But the new design is attractive, not so over-bearing and, of course, criticized by every Democrat alive.
-------------------------------------PERSONAL NOTES FROM ME RE THE PANDEMIC (that my descendants may know how I handled it)
Went to Labcorp yesterday to get one of those ubiquitous lab tests for stuff in my blood. I am just so impressed by how efficient everything was. First I made appointment on computer. Screen gave me directions, appt. times available, click here, appt. made.
When I went to the place, the chairs were all placed 6 ft apart. My Iphone had my appt. and some kind of bar code to sign in. Hit that thing and boom, I was signed in.
Waited a few minutes and then got another message to come back, my lab person was ready for me.
In this technological world, this is how these things should be handled.

(social media explains so much)
-----------------------------------EDITORIAL (My opinion for my descendants)
What is the truth about those nursing homes?
I am working with ageing memory here, but I know there were five Governors who said that those with Covid-19 are to be returned back to nursing homes. This was early in the pandemic but even then it was known that older people were very susceptible to the virus and the nursing homes complained that those who had it or are recovering should not be returned to a place with many vulnerable elderly residents.
But they demanded it, the most notable being Governor Cuomo of New York. FIVE Governors. Note that 45 other governors did not make such a demand.
So why did they do it?
Well I got an idea and if I'm right those five governors need to go to jail for murder.
President Trump at the time had delivered two hospital shops, one on the east coast and one on the left coast. In addition makeshift hospitals were quickly built in various spots in New York which was then being overwhelmed with virus cases. Trump was also providing the needy states with masks, ventilators and other equipment as needed.
I think those governors were determined not to allow Trump to get any credit for doing the right thing. Absolutely no virus patients were put onboard the ships, which took a lot of effort to move. There was no place to put recovering COVID patients so the five governors demanded they be returned to nursing homes where most elderly patients go for recovery after a hospital stay.
But even though told by the medicos in the nursing homes that to allow these people back in would cause deaths of those currently in residence, the governors said damn it, do it anyway.
I'm also amazed by Cuomo's reaction to all those deaths. He's shown no sorrow of remorse. He acts like someone who is guilty but doesn't want it to show.
Why couldn't they have put those recovering virus patients in those huge ships moved for just such a purpose?
Because they didn't want Trump to get any glory?
I am so glad that our DOJ is researching this.
It's an awful thing that Cuomo and the other Governors did.
They should not get away with it.
