RNC Convention Key Takeaways, Day 3

Thematically, The 2020 Republican Convention is constructing an American Arc starting with “The Land of Promise” then “The Land of Opportunity,” and on night three, it is “The Land of Heroes.” President Trump and the GOP are making the case that to achieve the promise of the American dream and utilize one’s opportunities, the Republic must defend and protect these principles and the citizens who exercise them.

The third night was the best visually with seamless transitions and dramatic music and video montages to punctuate the importance of the moment. The locations remained the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium for podium speeches, and exterior White House images and DC monuments as backdrops. But it was Vice President Pence’s locale that made you catch your breath and be still in reverence. Vice President Mike Pence stood in the quarantine yard, filled with social distancing attendees, of the historic Fort McHenry with old glory waving from above.

Tonight, there were so many stellar speeches that loading in the video rather than just linking them seemed paramount. How can anyone bash honoring past and present American heroes? How can anyone complain or attempt to shame those who celebrate law enforcement and the US Military and commit to “Law and Order?” Right Wire Report has full faith the media and Democrats will find a way with impunity. Like the two previous nights, night three’s message discipline remained strong. Day Sessions were (Party business working groups).

She said, “America is an exceptional nation founded on equality, freedom, and opportunity.” Noem was emphatic that “From Seattle and Portland to Washington and New York, Democrat-run cities across this country are being overrun by violent mobs. The violence is rampant. There’s looting, chaos, destruction, and murder. People that can afford to flee have fled. But the people that can’t, Good, hard-working Americans are left to fend for themselves,” she says. “The Republican Party’s commitment to individual rights and self-government is as necessary today as it was in 1860 when we won our first presidential election.” Watch her speech here.
• Scott Dane is the executive director of the Associated Contract Loggers and Truckers of Minnesota. The great American Story required the logging industry, and he reflected on that history. He said the last time Joe Biden was in office, “Minnesota lost over half of its mills, thousands of jobs, and experienced nearly a decade of decline. The administration just didn’t seem to care. In 47 years in Washington, Joe Biden hasn’t done anything for the timber industry.” He credited Trump,” we’ve seen a new recognition of the value of forest management in reducing wildfires. And we’ve seen new support for our way of life, where a strong back and a strong work ethic can build a strong middle class.” Watch his speech here.
• Senator Marsha Blackburn’s (R-TN) focus was on law enforcement and military heroes. She said, “Leftists try to turn them into villains. They try to “cancel” them. But I’m here to tell you that these heroes can’t be canceled. She explained, “As hard as Democrats try, they can’t cancel our heroes. They can’t contest their bravery, and they can’t dismiss the powerful sense of service that lives deep in their souls,” she says. “So they try to defund them—our military, our police, even ICE—to take away their tools to keep us safe.” Blackburn says Biden and Harris and their “radical allies try to destroy these heroes, because if there are no heroes to inspire us—the government can control us. “Watch her speech here.
• Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, has earned the right to speak to Americans about heroes. He spoke about America’s long history of “duty” and “our enemies fear us because Americans fight for good, and we know it gives us strength. And when our heroes are trusted and equipped, then freedom prevails.” Standing wearing an eye patch from a war injury, he said, “America is a fabric woven from the threads of history’s best stories, best attributes, and greatest ideas. The American spirit reflects the oldest and most important virtues: self-sacrifice, courage, tolerance, love of country, grace, and passion for human achievement,” Crenshaw says. “We can decide right now that American greatness will not be rejected nor squandered. As the American founding was grounded in individual liberty, so will be our future.” This was an inspiring speech from a real patriot.

• LT. Gen.Keith Kellogg (RET), national security advisor to the Vice President, spoke of being in the room with the President when acute military-related foreign policy decisions are being made.

She was unabashedly instructing on the wellness of the soul, saying, “while we tend to think of the marginalized as living beyond our borders, the truth is, the largest marginalized group in the world can be found in the United States. They are the unborn.” She called on Christians to make their voices heard at the ballot box.

This attack was not just on the President, it was an attack on you–your voice and your vote.” Watch her speech here.

He mentions George Washington, Abe Lincoln, James Madison all changed the world in their twenties. “While the radical left wants to dismantle, defund, and destroy, Republicans, under President Trump’s leadership, want to rebuild, restore and renew,” he says. He says political forces today “want to usher in the digital dark ages, a time of information without wisdom and tribalism without truth. National leaders on the left have normalized demagoguery and a radicalized identity politics that rejects”  The close of this speech sent chills down my spine watch to see why. This was the most awe-inspiring speech of the evening.

Do you know what that’ll get you? The same old results.”

• Richard Grenell is the former acting Director of National Intelligence, former Ambassador to Germany, and current RNC advisor. Grenell explains Trump’s “America First” foreign policy: America First does not advance the interests of one group of Americans at the expense of any other.

His words stood up against the hallowed grounds he stood, and with great empathy and determination, he made a case for the ticket to be re-elected.he also forcefully denounced the violent protesters.

• President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump make an appearance on stage with the Pence’s, and Trace Adkins (country-western singer) delivers amazing rendition under the 15 stars/15 stripes flag that flies over Fort McHenry, the same flag that inspired the National Anthem. Such a moving tribute to our country’s heroes as the American Flag swaying in the breeze and wounded veterans using walkers to stand.

President Donald Trump released his second-term agenda in advance, and many of the items were highlighted tonight – see here.

The four objectives for night three:

1. The Republican Party and President Trump stand with Law enforcement and US Military members and their families. “President Trump has your back!”
2. There can be no freedom without security. The Republican Party and President Trump will protect your civil liberties and sacred right to life and defend our right to live in safe communities. There is nothing racist about identifying decades of failed policies in minority communities, and implementing solutions to change those failures is making all lives matter.
3. The Republican Party and President Trump are not going to take away your private healthcare. The GOP plan is quality care at lower costs for services and medicine with individual choice. President Trump is committed to protecting pre-existing conditions.
4. Adherence to the US Constitution and founding principles delivers the best outcomes for all of us. Free markets and sovereign self ensures liberty. Socialism is not compatible with the guiding mechanism in our founding documents that secures us from tyranny. National pride in our country is not bigotry. The rule of law, and love of country and its flag, is essential to the American dream and we all can be heroes by honoring and protecting those sacred principles and honor our divine providence as one nation under God.

We will be doing a summary on each consecutive night remaining, so check back. As we have after each night, we will ask again to engage in an intellectual exercise that will be both enlightening and affirming as well as depressing. Take 15 minutes of your day and google headlines after each night, and compare and contrast, to Democrat convention headlines. Truly, eye-opening.

We have only one night remaining, and so far, almost every media narrative perpetrated about this President has been demonstrably challenged and exposed.
