WATCH: Republican National Convention Night One

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. . .Tonight’s theme is “Land of Promise.”

Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) says 2020 has tested our nation in ways we haven’t seen in decades after talking about the Coronavirus, George Floyd, and Breonna Taylor.

Scott talks about his life story about how he lived with his mom and his grandmother in a two-bedroom home after his parents divorced. He said he thought he had to use football to succeed and did not concentrate on his academics and failed out. He says even while he was failing the 9th grade, his mom told him, after working 16 hours a day, to shoot for the moon because if you fail you will be among the stars. He tells the story of his mentor, a Chick-fil-A operator John Moniz. . .

Donald Trump Jr. wants to speak about the great American story. He says just a few months ago, we were seeing the American Dream become a reality for more Americans. He blames Joe Biden for calling Trump a racist and a xenophobe for his China travel ban. He says it is madness that Biden is trying to shut down the country. He says Biden’s economic platform seems designed to crush the working man and woman. He rips “Beijing Biden” for supporting NAFTA, TPP. He says China wants Biden to win while Biden wants to bring in more illegal immigrants to take jobs from America citizens. He says this will drive wages down from low-income Americans who were getting wage increases for the first time in modern history. He says Trump’s policies have been like rocket fuel for the economy while Biden, the “Loch Ness Monster of the Swamp” that has been lurking around for decades and sticks his head up every now and then to run for president, wants to take money out of your pocket for Swamp dwellers.

Trump Jr. says both parties used to love America but now Democrats are attacking the basic principles on which the nation was founded.

Parkland Father at GOP Convention: Donald Trump Key to School Safety

By Breitbart. Parkland father Andrew Pollack spoke during the opening night of the Republican National Convention and stressed that President Donald Trump is key to school safety.

Pollack’s daughter Meadow was killed in the February 14, 2018, attack on Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School that took the lives of 17 innocents.

Speaking at the convention, he stressed that President Trump took school safety seriously from the start.

Pollack said he was invited to the White House after the Parkland attack and that President Trump took the time to listen as Pollack shared his concerns. He heard Pollack talk of how “far-left Democrats in … [the] school district made this shooting possible because they implemented something they called ‘restorative justice.’ This policy — which really just blames teachers for student failures — puts kids and teachers at risk and makes shootings more likely.”

He stressed that President Trump went further than simply listening, he actually “took action.” He did this by doing away with Obama administration guidelines for the “restorative justice” approach and by forming a commission that could suggest solutions.

Major Companies Pull Support for Republican Convention

/0 Comments/in , /by

Coca Cola’s funding of the Republican convention dropped from 660,000 dollars four years ago to just 75,000 pledged for this year. The company has reportedly taken heat from a civil rights group demanding the beverage company completely defund the Republican convention in light of Trump’s controversial comments involving minorities.

Trump criticized Ford Motor Company for opening up a new factory in Mexico, but it is uncertain whether his criticism had anything to do with the company deciding not to fund the Democratic or the Republican convention in 2016.

Hewlett Packard’s CEO Meg Whitman is a Republican, but has reportedly been critical of Trump throughout the campaign. Trump’s disparaging remarks about former CEO Carly Fiorina may have contributed to HP’s decision not to fund the convention this year, even though the company has a long history of doing so.

The Republican National Committee set a goal of raising 64 million dollars for its convention set to take place in Cleveland, Ohio in July. However, while the RNC says they are well on their way to reaching their goal, they are not receiving help from many companies who funded the convention in years past.

With Donald Trump as the presumptive Republican nominee, a number of major companies are either pulling their funding or greatly diminishing what they have previously given to previous conventions.

According to the Independent Journal, Apple has stated it will not fund the Republican convention and will not provide any support. The move may come as no surprise to some as Trump called for an Apple boycott after Apple CEO Tim Cook refused to work with the FBI in unlocking the iPhone belonging to one of the terrorists in the San Bernardino shooting.

The list of companies foregoing funding the Republican Party’s convention goes on, including but not limited to JPMorganChase, Metlife, Microsoft, Motorola, Walgreens, Wells Fargo, and UPS. It seems Trump’s campaign to “Make America Great Again” will go on without the support of many of America’s greatest corporations.

Gingrich to Romney: You’d better invite Sarah Palin to the Tampa Convention

/15 Comments/in /by

Former House Speaker and Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich slammed the Romney campaign Tuesday, saying former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney should extend a speaking invitation to former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.

“Governor Palin motivates and arouses an entire base,” Mr. Gingrich said in an interview with conservative radio host Laura Ingraham. “[She] should absolutely have a speaking slot.”

Mr. Gingrich’s comment on the matter comes just days after reports emerged noting that Mr. Romney has yet to invite Ms. Palin to the Republican presidential convention hosted in Tampa, Florida. Mr. Gingrich, who has not been invited to speak at the convention, said that he would be honored to speak at the convention if asked, but the decision is up to Mr. Romney and his team.

Ms. Palin, who responded to reports that the Romney campaign has yet to offer her a speaking invitation, said the circumtances regarding the Romney decision was payback for her outspokenness and criticism of his policy stances.

“What can I say?” Palin told Newsweek when asked about the convention. “I’m sure I’m not the only one accepting consequences for calling out both sides of the aisle for spending too much money, putting us on the road to bankruptcy, and engaging in crony capitalism.”
