COLUMN(S) OF THE WEEK
Conrad Black 8/28 “Trump for the Win”
The Republicans have now forced the Democrats to change
course and tactics, shed their narcissistic complacency, and recognize that
they are in the fight of their lives. When the history of this astonishing
political year is written, there will be amazement that the Democrats ever
imagined that they could preserve the entire election as a referendum on Trump
based on the question of whether the population is content, and leave the
president floundering in blustery self-justification while their nominee
fielded soft pre-agreed questions from his home.
The Democratic National Convention was essentially centered
in a Wilmington catacomb and featured an unexciting procession of former
officeholders, incanting that Donald Trump had completely failed in the
coronavirus crisis and was personally responsible for 180,000 unnecessary
deaths and massive unemployment. The nominees socially distanced from each
other and the party heaved a sigh of relief when their candidate limped
monotonously through a teleprompter acceptance speech. The Obamas, the
Clintons, and the nominees all repeated variations of the theme that it was
self-evident that the incumbent president was a corrupt and incompetent
reactionary, and they adjourned to wave to a parking lot and serenely await the
voters’ confirmation of their victory in November.
This will be exposed as the most mistakenly overconfident
launch of a major party campaign for the White House since the renomination of
Governor Thomas Dewey of New York against President Harry Truman in 1948. The
combination of the two sequential conventions and the performance of the
Democratic media in covering them will be a shattering blow to the Democratic
strategists who retrieved Joe Biden and Kamala Harris from the prenomination
ash heap and put them forward as a respectable camouflage for the party’s
outright Marxist program. Whatever possessed them to imagine that they could
avoid any comment on the most widespread and most destructive urban rioting in
America in over 50 years, could lay the public health crisis entirely upon the
president, could maintain their advocacy of an immigration policy that would
ultimately result in every poverty-stricken person in the world moving to the
United States, while ignoring this administration’s reduction of illegal
immigration by 90 percent; all of this and many other issues will be as much a
matter of interest to psychiatrists as to historians.
Donald Trump demonstrated again his talents as a showman; he
actually turned a virtual convention to advantage: an extraordinarily
interesting group of speakers succeeded each other with brief and highly
informative scripts. No time was wasted with windy ex officio
speeches, floor demonstrations, and public tumult, as occurs in regular
conventions. Most of the speakers told interesting and sometimes heartrending
stories about themselves and each was targeted precisely at a block of voters.
Victims of foreign terrorists and mob violence made their
points with great eloquence. A female surgeon who had also been a full colonel
in the United States Army, and was now a nun, spoke (in her habit) to the
nearly half of Americans who are pro-life. Farmers, small businessmen, sports promoters,
manufacturers, a fisherman, police chiefs, all unpretentious and persuasive
advocates of their particular interests, alternated with the most attractive
coming politicians in the Republican Party. Women and representatives of
minority groups together vastly outnumbered white males, who were chiefly
represented by members of the articulate and highly presentable Trump family.
This is a choice between a quavering geriatric mediocrity riding a mad tiger
and an unabashed impresario who, like him or not, is a great star.
No one from the Bush administrations or the failed McCain
and Romney campaigns was in evidence and were not missed. In the ragged
procession of Democratic convention speakers, none was more pitiful than the
second runner-up to the Republican nomination for years ago, former Ohio
Governor John Kasich. In American politics, traitors to their party have a
brief afterlife as useful idiots and then vanish.
The Republicans made the most powerful pitch in their
party’s history to women, African-Americans, and Latinos. Senator Tim Scott of
South Carolina and Kentucky Attorney General David Cameron led a long
succession of outstanding African American speakers who recounted the positive
initiatives that the Trump Administration has taken for their community,
especially economic incentives, and penal reform.
Where the Democratic speakers falsely stated that America’s
COVID-19 performance was the worst of any country in the world, the Republican
response from the president and many others naturally dwelt on the shambles of
public health emergency response bequeathed to them, on Biden’s noisy
denunciation of the closing of direct air travel from China and then Europe,
and the recitation of this administration’s success in producing everything
necessary to combat the virus, the enormous expansion, and facilitation of
testing, and the acceleration of the pursuit of a vaccine. Biden made a
catastrophic error in promising to shut down the country if the coronavirus
could not be exterminated, and he will not be allowed to forget it. And the
Republicans hung the urban rioting and corrupt Democratic municipal
misgovernment around Biden’s neck like a putrid albatross.
After Melania Trump’s tour de force on Tuesday night, the
Democratic networks were reduced to speculating that there was a rift between
the conciliatory Mrs. Trump and her bombastic husband. After the president’s
somewhat overlong (70 minutes) closing on Thursday night, the same desperately
predictable and rabidly biased commentators complained that the president’s
audience on the White House lawn were not masked social distancers.
It was indicative of the dilapidation of Democratic confidence
that their nominees went before television cameras and minimal numbers of
viewers on Thursday afternoon, trying to preempt what they had finally realized
would be a heavy blow from the president on Thursday evening. Biden attacked
urban violence directly and let it be known that he would campaign in some of
the so-called battleground states.
But the Democratic National Committee issued an unimaginably
fatuous complaint as the Republicans closed with one of the greatest fireworks
displays in American history over the Washington Monument that the absence of
precautions against COVID-19 for the president’s speech was illustrative
of his “complete corruption.” Their campaign of terror about the pandemic has
failed with Biden’s quasi-promise to shut down the country again. They will pay
for their ambiguity about urban violence and their encouragement of defunding
of police forces. Their cleverest and most egregious strategist, David Axelrod,
whined that the Republicans were verging on racism by upholding the police
(though most newsworthy police chiefs are black).
The Democratic convention was full of gloom and national self-criticism and
nominated relatively unfrightening figureheads and the Republican convention
exposed this as scaffolding for a giant pustule of policy extremism, and countered with a comprehensive and
optimistic program. “Orange Man Bad” won’t do it; this is a choice between a
quavering geriatric mediocrity riding a mad tiger and an unabashed impresario
who, like him or not, is a great star. Trump exaggerates when he says this is
the most important election in American history and he has had the most
productive first term of any president in American history. Without the
election of Lincoln in 1860 the country would have broken up, and without the
reelection of Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1940 Britain and Canada would have had
to make peace with Germany and leave Hitler in control of most of Europe.
Trump has had the fourth most
successful first term in history, after Lincoln, FDR, and Richard Nixon. And
barring another providential catastrophe to favor the Democrats on the scale of
the coronavirus, this president will be reelected, and he will finally enjoy a
honeymoon and be the only chief executive in U.S. history whose second term was
more successful than his first.
“The “woke” forces of Antifa and Black Lives Matter --
mostly overindulged, pampered, underparented, overeducated and spoiled children
-- are on the verge of a rude awakening. They are on the verge of waking the sleeping
giant, which is to say most of the law-abiding, hard-working and family-focused
people of this country.”
Monica Showalter: “The GOP is famous for its civility, its
reasoned arguments, its uplifting messages, its thousand points of light, its
doughty flag-waving. Historically, it's always been a bit of an anti-climax to
the more raucous version from the Democrats. Not this time….”
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/08/a_ragecat_gop_convention_with_the_message_of_fight.html
Reason to worry: “The
evidence now is overwhelming that the Democrats are planning to throw the
nation into a deep crisis following Election Day, in a cynical plot to steal a
presidential election, and with it, control of Congress. The plan isn't even
hiding in plain sight; it is trumpeted almost daily: Send out tens of millions of unsolicited mail
ballots to everyone on voter rolls (that in most jurisdictions haven't been
purged of those who died or moved). We already know from the
experience of Clark County, Nevada that 17% of the 1.3 million ballots sent to
registered voters were "undeliverable," meaning available for
harvesting and being voted by unscrupulous political operatives. When ballots start
being counted, fiercely dispute and litigate any invalidation of suspicious or
faulty ballots under the slogan of "count all votes" and complaints
of "voter suppression." If Trump is going to carry the election, delay
certification of enough states' results that Electoral College is unable to
name a victor and hand the presidency to the speaker of the House, who they
assume will be Nancy Pelosi.”
This will scare you: “A
top Democratic operative says voter fraud, especially with mail-in ballots, is
no myth. And he knows this because he’s been doing it, on a grand scale, for
decades”, revealing how it’s done.
