OPEN THREAD FOR DEMOCRAT CONVENTION - Tuesday, July 26

Most of the action starts later, but any bits and pieces of news occurring today, put it here.

Roy Moore's "spiritual warfare" is driving past a junior high without stopping.

Disgusting

http://nypost.com/2016/07/26/delegate-slams-dnc-for-not-donating-leftover-food-to-poor/

The Democratic Party tossed out leftover food after a welcome party for delegates at the Philadelphia Museum of Art Sunday, leaving at least one delegate fuming.

“I was a hungry child. Went to bed hungry many a night,” Timothy Baumgardner, a Washington state delegate, told The Post. “I fed people from the garbage.”

He said he asked the caterer whether the food could be donated to the poor, but was told that wasn’t allowed. “Sad,” Baumgardner said.

What are the up and down odds on chaos during the roll call or are they going to pull an RNC and not even let other candidate's names be put in contention?

No difference between the two parties?



The 2016 Democratic Party platform endorses a carbon tax on the American people. The carbon tax language, added at the last minute, states:

“Democrats believe that carbon dioxide, methane, and other greenhouse gases should be priced to reflect their negative externalities, and to accelerate the transition to a clean economy and help meet out climate goals.”

The move by Democrats to impose a carbon tax comes in clear contrast to the 2016 Republican Party platform opposition to any carbon tax:

“We oppose any carbon tax.”

They are pure evil, Bernie is going put Hill into nomination.  At least folks on our side have a conscience and principles to keep.

Our 'problems' pale in comparison to theirs.

Go Ted Cruz
Go Donald Trump
Go Mike Lee

Defeat Paul Ryan and Hillary!!!!

What was Bernie promised for this cave?

Czar of 'Free Stuff'?

Tuesday

The most important order of business: Democrats will officially make Clinton the first female presidential nominee from a major party with the roll call vote.

Later in the evening, Bill Clinton, the first of two former presidents to address the convention, will make the case for his wife's election.

The theme of the day, though, will be driven by the "Mothers of the Movement" -- a group of speakers that includes the mothers of Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Sandra Bland and more, all men and women who died in police custody or as a result of police actions. Trayvon Martin's mother, whose son died at the hands of neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, will also speak.

Just fanning the flames. Trump is looking better every day.

At least until he says/does something stupid, which shouldn't be too long.

Any reports on how Trump did at the VFW in Charlotte?

Democrats seem to be using data at their Convention.  Trump painted a very bleak picture, but Gallup says his hellscape doesn't really exist:

5% list national security as the top problem, 4% terrorism, 3% crime

This from the left wing HaaretZ.  Sure explains all the Palestinian flags.



The Dishonest Democratic Platform on Israel

Saying Israelis and Palestinians can reach peace without outside intervention is like saying George Wallace and MLK could have ended discrimination without federal help.
...

The platform also says a Palestinian state should be “viable,” which is important because Netanyahu has publicly rejected the principle that guided both the 2000 Clinton parameters and the 2007-2008 negotiations between Ehud Olmert and Mahmoud Abbas: That to be viable, a Palestinian state must be based on the 1967 lines, with land swaps.
