This is how you KNOW night one of the Republican National Convention was a GREAT SUCCESS!

Former DNC Chair Donna Brazile absolutely lost it this morning on FOX and Friends during her interview with conservative talker Tammy Bruce.

After Tammy Bruce described the clear difference in the two parties in America — DNC Convention focus on American sins versus RNC focus on hope, gratitude and growth — Donna Brazile LOST IT!

Brazile went straight to “400 years of slavery” after Tammy spoke of the Democrat Party refusal to condemn the young Democrats rioting and looting in the streets.

Brazile then went on to say Joe Biden was speaking to everyday Americans during the DNC convention. When?

Brazile lost it.

This must be how most Democrats are feeling today.
Day One was a HUGE success!

CNN’s Sunday Show host Brian Stelter attacked Republicans before their convention even started.

Stelter, a committed CNN liberal, praised the DNC Convention last week where speakers were “largely accurate.” This was after an entire week of deluded people who believe Europe is to blame for the China virus, the Black Lives Matter riots are “mostly peaceful” and Governor Andrew Cuomo is a hero for his handling of the coronavirus!

Brian Stelter: At the RNC Convention starting Monday we can expect a grievance convention where speakers will rant and rave against the media. We know that there are going to be right-wing celebrities, speaking at this virtual or partially in person convention. I think we can expect sadly misinformation about voting which is going to put news outlets in tough positions about when to interrupt, when to fact-check and how. There’s also going to probably be headlines about COVID-19 and safety concerns… There are discussions in news rooms about how to handle what is likely to be a stream of lying.

CNN’s Brian Stelter accurately reflected the liberal arrogance that Biden’s speech fileting Trump was "largely accurate," but there were some obvious red flags in this speech that a truly objective fact watchdog should have evaluated as something less than accurate, and often False. For example: 
1. Biden promised to win “For all the young people who have known only an America of rising inequity and shrinking opportunity.”
This not only flies in the face of economic recovery in the first three years of Trump, it blatantly disparages the economic record of Obama-Biden. 
2. “Just judge this president on the facts: Five million Americans infected with Covid-19. More than 170,000 Americans have died. By far the worst performance of any nation on Earth.” And he repeated it later: "The tragedy of where we are today is it didn’t have to be this bad. Just look around. It’s not this bad in Canada. Or Europe. Or Japan. Or almost anywhere else in the world…We lead the world in confirmed cases. We lead the world in deaths."
That depends on whether you’re measuring raw numbers, or measuring deaths per 100,000. FactCheck.org flagged Trump earlier in August with a chart that shows America was eight worst (sixth if you discount tiny nations like Andorra and San Marino). Measure by death rate per coronavirus case, and the U.S. ranks 48th at 3.11 percent.
3. "Nearly one in six small businesses have closed this year."
This really should have sent the fact-checkers in action — a Chamber of Commerce poll  found only one percent of respondents said they’d closed permanently. 
4. Biden honored President Obama: "You were a great president. A president our children could — and did — look up to. No one will say that about the current occupant of the office."
It may vex Biden, but many MAGA-hat Trump fans would tout Trump as someone to look up to.
5. "As president, I will make you this promise: I will protect America. I will defend us from every attack. Seen. And unseen. Always. Without exception. Every time."
Is that the actual record of the Obama-Biden administration? A fact-checker could cite foreign terror attacks on Americans (Benghazi) or domestic terror attacks (San Bernardino, Fort Hood, the Boston Marathon bombing). No administration can stop all terrorist attacks. But that means candidates shouldn’t say they will defend America from "every attack…without exception." 
6. "Nor will I put up with foreign interference in our most sacred democratic exercise — voting." Again, how did the Obama-Biden administration do on Russian interference? Now, the Democrats insist the Russians fouled our next in 2016….and who was in power?
7. Most egregiously, Biden once again dropped his "bottomless Pinocchio" and claimed Trump praised neo-Nazis and racists, when he explicitly condemned them. "Remember the violent clash that ensued between those spreading hate and those with the courage to stand against it? Remember what the president said? There were quote, ‘very fine people on both sides.’”
PolitiFact has laid out that reporters pressed Trump into explicitly declaring "I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists — because they should be condemned totally." But Biden never gets a "False" rating when he says this.

California wildfires, which have so far torched more than a million acres of land, including parts of the state’s historic redwood forest, have become a target for looters, and at least one firefighter had his bank account “drained” as he risked his life battling the historic blaze.

“California’s ongoing historic wildfires have forced tens of thousands of people from their homes, and police said looters are taking advantage of the empty houses,” USA Today reported Monday.  “In one case, a looter took advantage of an unoccupied car. Santa Cruz County Sheriff Jim Hart on Sunday told reporters that a California firefighter’s marked vehicle was burglarized.”

The looters apparently entered the firefighter’s truck as he and his crew were fighting to control the Santa Cruz blaze sometime between Friday evening and Saturday morning. In a matter of hours, they’d taken his possessions and allegedly drained his bank account using a debit card, per the Santa Cruz sheriff’s office.

“That’s the extent these people have gone,” California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection Battalion Chief Mark Brunton said at a press conference. “Again, this is why we’ve asked for people to evacuate. The sheriff’s department has done a fantastic job in trying to wrangle this, but again, this is what we have as a result.”

The Santa Cruz sheriff’s office did not comment extensively on the case except to say that an investigation had been opened, but the Santa Cruz County Sheriff Jim Hart did tell reporters that he “can’t imagine a bigger lowlife.”

“To me, it’s just mind-boggling that somebody would have the audacity to do something like that,” he continued. “I’m confident we’re going to find that person. When we do, we’re going to keep him in the county jail and then we’re going to hand that case over to the DA and the DA is going to hammer this guy.”

“I have no empathy, I have no patience for somebody who is going to come into our community and steal from people who have been who have been evacuated and victimized and traumatized,” Hart said.

Santa Cruz, along with other California law enforcement agencies, has beefed up in recent days to handle the spike in looting. Santa Cruz has arrested eight people so far for taking advantage of the evacuation order by ransacking abandoned residences.

CNN reports that the “hundreds” of California wildfires raging in Lake, Napa, San Mateo, Santa Cruz, Solano, Sonoma, and Yolo counties, were started by lightening, and a “total of 1.1 million [acres] have burned in the state.” An estimated 13,000 firefighters are involved in containing the flames, some of whom are working 24 hour shifts. And although 2019 was a record year for California wildfires, the 2020 blazes have already claimed more land and lives than in all of last year.

Earlier this year, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell apologized on behalf of his league for not listening to players protesting since 2016. With the season opener just 18 days away, Goodell on Sunday doubled down on his support for social justice activism in his league, praised former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick and said he hopes Americans are ready to accept a new season of heightened protesting.
“I wish we had listened earlier, Kaep, to what you were kneeling about and what you were trying to bring attention to,” Goodell told former NFL linebacker Emmanuel Acho on the video series "Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man."
Sports media across the nation jumped on this story. However, some of the more hardcore leftists among them questioned Goodell’s sincerity and said he didn’t go far enough.
Additionally, Goodell said he would welcome the return of Kaepernick as an active player. "We had invited him in several times to have the conversation, to have the dialogue, I wish we had the benefit of that, we never did. We would have benefited from that, absolutely."
Commissioner Goodell disputed claims that NFL protesters were disrespecting America’s veterans, too. Sports Illustrated’s Nick Selbe reports Goodell talked to numerous SJW players in 2016 when Kaepernick began kneeling during the national anthem. Goodell told Acho he regrets how the players’ protests were misinterpreted as anti-American or anti-military:
“In fact, many of those guys were in the military, and they’re a military family. What they were trying to do is exercise their right to bring attention to something that needs to get fixed. And that misrepresentation of who they were, what they were doing, is the thing that really gnawed at me.”
Among the skeptics is Alex Didion of NBC Sports Bay Area. "The publicly expressed remorse from Goodell is a step in the right direction, but actions speak much louder than words. Until Kaepernick can make a return to the NFL and get another chance to play, Goodell’s dialogue will continue to fall on deaf ears," he wrote Sunday.
Even if Kaepernick never suits up for an NFL game again, "his legacy and impact on the country won’t soon be forgotten," Didion said, representing the sentiments of many a left-leaning, Kaepernick-supporting U.S. sports writer.
Trying to grease the skids for the wave of protests sure to begin with the new NFL season starting Sept. 10, Goodell said he now understands the protesting players’ message better and he’s hopeful the public reaction to players kneeling during the anthem in the future "can become more favorable."
The sharpest criticism of Goodell came from Carron J. Phillips, a Deadspin writer and long-time race-baiter. He said of Goodell’s remarks, "The master of spin is at it again" and that the commissioner’s actions never line up with his words.
Goodell is the man who supposedly blackballed Kaepernick and tried, in 2018, to institute a league rule requiring players to stand for the national anthem, Phillips says. He’s also the "male Kellyanne Conway. A person who gets paid to lie to the American public."
Phillips continued blistering the commissioner, saying, "He’s lying when he said he didn’t listen to Kaepernick. He saw what was happening and watched as a movement grew. He just didn’t care. Kaepernick predicted it, too. And now Goodell blames Kaepernick for not accepting his invitation to explain his reasoning — which Kap had been pretty clear about in the past."
Phillips also ripped Acho, calling his social media series a place "where a Black man coddles white people, allowing them to freely discuss their white guilt and ‘apologize’ for their willful ignorance. … It’s a show designed to make white people believe that ‘uncomfortable conversations’ are the answer — not actions, legislation, or corporate policy."

It’s always a good day when you rack up endorsements as a presidential candidate. Sure, there’s a bit of a problem when those endorsements come from two people conservatives loathe and one person everyone loathes, but shh. Don’t tell Joe Biden. One of those endorsements Biden might actually mention; that one came from former GOP…

The anti-Trump Lincoln Project tweeted and then deleted a false accusation Monday that President Donald Trump cheered a man calling former President Barack Obama a "monkey."

In reality, the president, addressing the Republican National Convention on Monday, jokingly chided an audience member who shouted, "Spygate!"—a reference to the Obama administration’s surveillance of the Trump campaign.

"Be nice," Trump responded.

Several Twitter users alleged that the audience member had shouted, "monkey," an accusation that the anti-Trump Lincoln Project was quick to amplify.

"When President Trump mentioned Obama, someone from the crowd shouted, "Monkey!" and the president relished in it. Disgusting. Do you approve of this @ThomTillis?" the group tweeted.

The Trump campaign said the man had in fact shouted, "Spygate," but not before the Lincoln Project’s accusation had garnered more than 17,000 retweets. The group deleted the tweet shortly thereafter without explanation.

Yes, because President Trump demures at the mention of the "spy gate" lie.

— The Lincoln Project (@ProjectLincoln) August 24, 2020

The false accusation has nonetheless spread across the liberal blogosphere, with the left-wing website Raw Story publishing a piece repeating the accusation and Talking Points Memo publishing a similar account. 

Critics have attacked the Lincoln Project for stealing online content from other creators and funneling donations to its board members’ own firms. Founded by former and current Republicans, it has received favorable media attention for its attacks on Trump and his Senate Republican supporters.
