• Chicago rolled out the red carpet for the Democratic Party National Convention held this week at the United Center. Just landing safely at the airport was an adventure for the Democratic delegates. All weekend thunderstorms, hailstorms and high winds pounded Chicago, delaying hundreds of murders.
• The United Center in Chicago is encircled by a large wall to protect the Democratic Convention from street chaos. On Friday before the convention, 20 people were shot and 4 murdered in Chicago. VP candidate Tim Walz heard the news and decided to stay behind and address the conference via Zoom.
• The Democratic Convention was gaveled to order Monday with all four broadcast networks and three major cable news channels covering the action live. It’s fun. The first headline speaker of the week last night was President Biden, who accepted the party’s nomination before being ushered offstage.
• President Biden was the headline speaker on the first night of the Democratic Convention and received all the love and gratitude and respect that the party leaders have for Joe and for his office. The president arrived just in time. He almost missed his commercial flight to Chicago.
• President Biden’s address to the Democratic Convention in Chicago Monday urged party unity and support for VP Harris. It was Biden’s most ringing endorsement of Kamala since their joint appearance in Maryland last Thursday, when Joe asked the audience to vote for the black girl over there.
• President Biden told Maryland Thursday that an American can find much cheaper prescription drugs in free-health care Canada. Joe didn’t mention that wealthy Canadians come to the U.S. for their health care. Try to remember that the greener grass on the other side of the fence might be a septic issue.
• Kamala Harris was assailed by the New York Times, the Washington Post and CNN and MSNBC for her proposal to impose price and profit controls. It really puts comedians in a bind, because young people know nothing about socialism and jokes about socialism aren’t funny unless everybody gets them.
• Donald Trump kept up the persona political attacks on Kamala Harris at his rally Saturday in Pennsylvania. When he went over the top and described Kamala as a communist, I think young Americans had to look it up. Communism sounds good on paper, unless you’re reading a history book.
• JD Vance cited Ohio’s contribution to the history of aviation in a speech Tuesday. The first two men to fly an airplane were from Ohio, the first American to orbit the earth was from Ohio and the first man on the moon was from Ohio. History shows us that man will do whatever it takes to get out of Ohio.
• The Pentagon reported Friday that Ukraine launched an offensive that crossed into Russia. The bad news for Ukraine is that NATO countries are cutting down on their military support. It was announced Saturday that Germany is pulling out of Ukraine, which is historically the first sign of winter.
