Phoenix President Trump Speech, my personal observations of the event.
Me ^ | Aug 23, 2017 | nateman

Posted on 08/23/2017 6:29:27 PM PDT by Nateman

I checked out the Lamestream Media coverage this morning . As you already know , it was, as they might have phrased it in their PC speech, “Reality Challenged”. Might start calling them 'Unhinged Media' now. The latest smearstorm is that Trump is crazy and must go. Perhaps some of the media are so divorced from reality they've actually gone off the deep end. My take is they are just following orders handed down to them from the “Ministry of Truth”. ( A little ”Orwellian” speak there, our modern Ministry of Truth is probably more like a mental orgy where the lefts’ ruling collectivist liars decide on what is going to be the latest truth for the day )

If you want to read an accurate transcript of President Trumps speech or see a video you can do so right here. I had to dig DEEP into the Goolag to get this transcript for you. Of course I had to go to a site in Israel to get it . It has lots of pop-up’s and ads. If you just want the striped down version minus all the annoying stuff (Like the obligatory introductory spin which tells you what you are suppose to think) I’ve got a text only PDF version here. I report, you decide. (Remember when somebody else use to do that?)

I’ve posted lots of pictures at one fourth scale. If you want to see the picture at full resolution just click on it. Then click again.

Parking is insane in downtown Phoenix so I came into town on the light rail about 3:00 PM. It was only a short stroll to get to the end of the forming line. The doors were not scheduled to open until 4 with the President speaking at 7. What you see in this picture are the folks lining up behind me as they got off the train as well. Lots of awesome patriotic T-shirts worn by these deplorable people! As you’ll see I made it a point to photograph the shirts that were being sold as well.

The line ahead of me looking west.

Some choice shirts. “Suck it up Snowflake” would have been better.

Too bad I did not buy one. I was too busy posting on Free Republic on my phone. A lady came up to a young fellow ahead of me and said she wanted to do an interview. Claimed she was a journalist student. Got got his e-mail address and other information. My bet is that she thought he was cute which is why she picked him out.

A fellow came down the line handing out Kelli Ward stickers. Kelli Ward is running against Senator Jeff Flake in the primary. She lost against McLame in his recent primary election. She did better against RINO McCain than JD Hayworth did . I put her sticker on my shirt proudly . Of course in the heat and turmoil of moving it fell off. Fortunately I asked for a spare and still have that.

Some more adorable T-shirts.

The line was moving every now and then even before the doors opened. This is looking North now. We got our first glimpse of the protesters far off in the distant here.

A lone protester I assume. Perhaps she had a lover and she was making an open invitation.

Some protesters walking by our line on the way to their main group. Those bigoted hateful deplorable Nazi people in line yelled at them: “Get a Job”. I yelled 'Get a haircut!'. I mean, what else do you yell at hippies?

A souvenir stand along the way. Since I was busy texting Freepers I didn't get to enjoy this until now. It’s OK . You folks are worth the trouble.

The shirt she is selling says: “I came here to kick ass and covfefe and I’m all out of covfefe.

A Telemondo film crew asking if anybody spoke Spanish. I figured the first question would be something like “Why are you a self hating Latino and why are you still breathing my air , you monster!?” (Something like that).

Somebody unhappy with Islam. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

This is as close to the protester mobs our line got. The doors had opened and we were wisely rushed thru by the police. Did not have much of a chance to see these peace loving defenders of lies, injustice and the communist way. I quickly took a series of photos as I was rushed along. Except for the hateful shouting I did not have time to notice anything else. I did make it a point to smile and wave as them as I quickly walked by. Oh MAN! You just gotta love WINNING! I’m still not getting tired of it! I damn neared died of an overdose of schadenfreude right there and then! Here is a bunch more of these deluded losers:

On the right side of this one you can see some of those Giant blow up puppet thingees that seems to be a requirement of leftist mobs.

In this one you can see a better view of the giant ballons. Its a jailed Sherrif Appiao and a Trump ballon.

This is the back of the hall. It’s just starting to fill up in this picture

The podium area as people are filtering in...

The seating area of the VIP’s that will sit behind the President.

This is the back wall again after things have filled up. I’ve pointed out the propaganda wing of the Democrat party in this one.

Here is where you see my phone cameras’ limitations. Even though I’m only 20 feet away that is the best image I could get of Ben Carson.

As you can see, you can only barely make out President Trump in this one.

An attempt at a better close up of our President. If you want to read what he said here is a link to a pdf I made. I stood around for hours before I actually got to hear our President. Only had the crowded floor to try and sit on. Needless to say my feet were killing me. I can say this though. It was worth the experience in retrospect. I can bear witness to the way this great man is being mistreated.

They were only letting the packed crowd out thru this side of the hall. It definitely took it’s time to clear out. I found some empty seats in the meanwhile and just waited for most of the folks to clear out.

There it is. My soul experience of seeing the left going violent. It was a hallway that went over a street. In the distance you can see a smoke device billowing just behind a white truck. My image is faintly visible in the window. As before security was pushing us out so clearly they did not want anybody lingering at the windows taking pictures. Otherwise I would have got more for you here. I did see sparks from another smoke canister light up the night. Too bad I did not capture that one on film. (Even if film is obsolete now)!

As I made my way back to the train there were police lines separating us from the loony left. A copper was circling above announcing “This is the chief of police. Disperse or be arrested” . I was not about to hang around. My feet hurt , I was tired, and the train back was all I was interested in. Aside from a packed train on the way back I made it back home without any incidents.

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.
