RNC Day 1

The economy was yesterday’s theme at the Republican National Convention. There were a number of unique speakers, including everyday Americans, who pointed out how they are being crushed by high inflation and terrible economic policies.

One such speech was delivered by Linda Fonos, a legal immigrant who blasted the left’s open border policies.

There was a historic address by Teamsters President Sean O’Brien. His remarks were the first time in the union’s 121-year history that a Teamsters president spoke at a Republican National Convention. O’Brien praised Trump as “one tough SOB” for his courage in inviting O’Brien to speak at the convention and for the strength Trump demonstrated after the attempt on his life.

O’Brien’s address also publicly marked the liberation of the GOP from our globalist corporate elites. (Here and here.) Far too many CEOs are all in on trade with communist China and the left’s woke agenda, which threatens the economic well-being of working Americans and assaults their values.

Sen. Tim Scott also delivered an inspiring address.
