^^^ The only people who missed it are those who didn't even listen, Mr. Arroyo.

Imagine Tucker Carlson as the Press Secretary for PDJT.

^^^^^^^^^^^
I wouldn't mind seeing Dana White in that role.

Yep, Trump gave a looong acceptance speech, all right. I watched every minute of it!

What a man. What a message he had for our country and the entire world.

As several other members have posted, I've not been a big convention watcher at all in the past. But I've enjoyed each of the 2024 RNC's four days broadcast on Real America's Voice where no talking heads spoke over the presenters. Many outstanding speeches were made. Also enjoyed the SixWire Nashville band! And of course DJT's speech which, although long, was captivating.

I watched every minute of it, it was great.

I think he wanted to finish his PA campaign speech and said “screw it let’s DO THIS!”

Plus all the networks were forced to keep covering him for the whole speech when lately they cut away or even refuse to cover him now, he knows that.

I posted earlier in the week that ex-agent Dan Bongino was told by his contacts in the SS that only three of the agents guarding Trump were Secret Service, all others were personnel from Homeland Security.

I take Bongino's opinion with a grain of salt however, this story may be gaining some legs and helping to support the belief of willful knee-capping of resources and minimizing of priorities by USSS & DHS upper-management.

Why? Bongino would seem to be a 'subject matter expert' in this area. He's also one to specifically rely on facts, and not just spew half truths/opinions as does most political operators with a microphone nowadays. He may beat things to death sometimes, and his personality/delivery may turn some off, but he's rarely wrong on things.

Interesting tidbit on the closing Opera Song

This is THE performance and the one that PDJT uses-- it's had almost 75 million views on YouTube in the last five years.

Nessun dorma is one of the most famous opera arias. Pavarotti is one of the most famous tenors to have lived. You put the two together and you get 75M views.

The one that PDJT uses??

It's the recording that they used last night at the end of the RNC (as near as I can tell).

^^^That was a live performance by opera singer Christopher Maccio. It was VERY well done, I might add.

Edited to remove OperaWire link, reducing clicks for an article written by a 'Political Leftest ASS'.

So, I was wrong. That very rarely happens. You can ask either of my ex-wives.

I imagine there are countless leftists feeling like her today.

I thought the tenor at the RNC did a very nice job of that tough aria, even with that interpolated last word!

As for the above operawire.com article, the writer of it is a political leftist ass!
