Shabbos Kestenbaum is a strong speaker to highlight the out of control antisemitism on college campuses that blossomed on Biden’s watch, as he was so worried about alienating the pro-Hamas base of his party.

Milwaukee — A woman dispenses Trump fans to promote a MAGA bitcoin doohickey outside the entrance to Wednesday’s RNC. Many ways to make a living.

You make a fair point, Jim

Semi-seriously, Judson, Biden should be tossed as the Democratic nominee just for forgetting that U.S. soldiers had been killed on his watch.

Gold Star families of the Abbey Gate fallen just called out Biden for claiming in the debate that no servicemembers had died on his watch — a gaffe that was overshadowed by his overall poor performance but was among his worst, and most damaging

The reading of the names of the 13 dead in Afghanistan — those that Biden implied didn’t exist when he said no servicemember died on his watch — was utterly moving. All credit to the grieving parents who read through those names with tight throats and tears in their eyes and on their cheeks.

There’s no bombast. No table pounding. Not apocalyptic hyperbole. Just grief, embitterment, and disappointment. The Gold Star families who repeatedly remind the public that the commander-in-chief has tried to forget the fallen and never honored their memories is just as savvy. That’s a disgrace that should not be forgotten.

From the video package to the speeches, this moment commemorating the service members who were killed at Abbey Gate is both the most humble and quietest moment of the RNC so far and it’s most powerful.

A powerful moment as the Gold Star families of those military service members who fell in Afghanistan during Biden’s botched withdrawal come on stage holding pictures of their deceased loved ones.

This video package featuring the families of service members who were killed in that horribly botched operation is deeply affecting. The GOP should have devoted more time this week to reminding Americans about the atrocity over which Biden presided.
