Trump just finished his amazing speech. Next up fire in the skies!
Pouring another couple fingers. Screw it. I'm over my limit but tonight is exceptional.
Hope all of the rest of my SigForum brothers and sisters are enjoying it!

sjtillUnfortunately I was watching Fox at the time and they had talking heads on and missed the Governor's speech. The least they could have done was show her giving the speech, I would have watched it on mute.
Oh, and bald1--many thanks for giving us all a heads up on this event! My wife hadn't heard about it, so I of course told her I read about it first on SF.

Doc. Thank you for what you did to motivate Mike (Para). I very much appreciate my specialists: cardiologist, oncologist, internist, ophthalmologist, et al.
Glad you and others enjoyed the event.
I just got up from a brief nap.
I hope I haven't offended any with my exuberance. 
Quite a night for me.

Mark, if you're referring to the cigar, I doubt once a year would be a travesty. My fear is going back down that old rabbit hole and enjoying pipes and cigars daily. LOL

Slippery PeteThat speech was excellent.

Mustang-PaPaTrumps speech was great but Fox's coverage sucked big time.
I was really wanting to see the fireworks in full display. Fox just couldn't do that. They had to stop and have some damn talking head spew shit that Trump had just give live with the fireworks going off in his back ground. No full view or boom boom booms.
Tried muting it and just wasn't the same without the music or boom boom booms. Then they cut completely away before they ended. All week they advertise this event then cheat us with that bs.

armoredIt was a GREAT evening!
Trumps speech was on the point.
I do have to agree that the camera coverage for the event was HORRIBLE!
I about went crazy when FOX had to have there talking heads talk over events.They also never covered the air show or showed the Gov giving her speech.
Worst event coverage I ever remember!

bald1travelsouthdakota vimeo feed wasn't too bad.
No talking heads and Gov Noem among others (Mary Hart, etc.) were fully covered.

Amen, brother! I had the same experience. It was crappy of FNC to not show all the fireworks show--I'll bet more than half turned in to their presentation expecting to see it and were sadly disappointed (as were we).

snorisYou can tell it was a great speech when the New York Times trashed it and used the word "divisive" in the very first sentence of its story.
