This tells you just how Patriotic the Democratic Party members in charge of the DNC are...  they forgot to have American flags at the convention Monday.  There were none in their plans.  None anywhere.  Not even on posters or billboards.

They special ordered some American Flags for Tuesday.  LINK.

Truly appalling.

Hillary's new slogan "Change-Maker" according to Bill.

Something I noticed.

The Republican Convention in Cleveland freely allowed demonstrators to demonstrate.  There were no chain link fences or walls.

The Democratic Convention has TWO walls built, blocking the demonstrators.  One is chain link and the other is a thick wall that you can't see through. 

The party that doesn't want a wall built to protect those within our borders, built two walls to disallow opposing viewpoints to be seen and protect within "their borders."

Time for a photo showcase of the Democratic Convention in Philadelphia, just as we did with the Republican Convention in Cleveland.


Bernie Sanders supporters filled the DNC hall and around the building.


Far more protestors came to the DNC Convention according to news sources then the RNC Convention.  They were held back by walls, fences, and designated to certain areas as asked by the DNC.


Delegates rally for their picks.  A Hawaiian delegate was removed from the convention when during role call, she gave middle fingers to the DNC staff.  She was stripped of all her delegate status and escorted out of the convention.


Much to the embarrassment of the Democratic Party, not a single American flag was present in the building or on stage for the first night.  By the second day, thanks to a FOX News report, the DNC ordered American flags to be placed around the convention.  Before the the flags were brought in, the only American Flags that were in the building were brought in by FOX News Staff for their news room.


Socialist Elizabeth Warren speaks at the DNC Convention.  It was her time to shine according to pundits, but most claim she came off as angry, unhappy, and negative.  She was a favorite pick for Clinton's Vice president.


Michelle Obama gave a rousing speech to her fellow fans.


Senator Al Franken.


Former candidate, Martin O' Malley.


Former candidate Bernie Sanders brought the house down, and received more applaud then anyone.


Marches and protests of all kinds have occurred around the convention.


Alicia Keys performed at the convention and is a Bernie and Hillary supporter.


Former President Bill Clinton gives a speech at the DNC. 


New York Mayor Bill De Blasio.

Hillary Clinton and Pres. Obama are still to speak at the convention this week.

Well the first time I did it, I didn't know if anyone would care.  Otherwise I would have said more in the commentary department.  I left it very bare.  This time I decided to add a little bit, maybe for discussion purposes.

The political landscape is in such shambles that I find it hard to really get involved in discussions.  It feels like trying to talk about specific chunks in a massive raw sewage spill.

Ewwww....

I will note this now.  So the DNC did forget to put American flags up... but as of tonight, Obama is the first person to bring up ISIS and terrorists.  No one in the DNC has said the traditional, "God Bless America."  No one has shown support for the law enforcement outside their convention.  I have watched nearly everything, so these are some points I feel that are worth noting. 

What has been brought up though, in line with Democratic supporters who will love all of this, is income equality, equal rights for women, breaking of the glass ceiling, freedom of religion and free for all illegals to enter and start a new life (As illegals, then overtime become legal).  All equal rights in marriage equality as well.  Claims of the lowest unemployment in decades (not true).  20 million new health care patients on the federal medical care system. 

No mention of military power or strength, besides Obama tonight who touted simply they are "the best fighting force the world has ever known."  The closest he got to mentioning ISIS was calling them ISIL and how he is weakening them, in a one line sentence, which was quickly glossed over to move on to Hillary's positives in working around military personnel. 

Meanwhile on the Republican side, Donald Trump jokingly Tweeted out that he hopes Russia can find Hillary's missing 30,000 emails and reveal them.  Funny to Republican's maybe, but I think someone should just tell him to stop Tweeting so he won't mess up and say the wrong things.

Obama called his term a "political experiment" for a "new government" in his speech last night.

This is also a claim, still being investigated.

After the Bernie supporters left the DNC, it is claimed the DNC is paying people to be seat fillers for the convention.

She did fine.  She said what she needed to say and gave a strong performance.  As with Trump who did a stellar job with his and said all he needed to say.  It just depends on if you believe what they say.  I felt more like Hillary was going through talking points and trying to appease everyone on her bucket list, like how a NASCAR driver names off every sponsor they can when they win. 

Hillary's speech info, closure of DNC Convention.

Also the "American's for Tax Reform" website has released Hillary's future tax plans, including "free wifi" that would cost tax payers over 250 million dollars.
