Rush Limbaugh gets the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Melania Trump at the State of the Union.

Rhetoric

Here are the concluding lines of  last night's address to Congress by President Trump. Surprisingly, I thought for a short while he was  transformed into a classic rhetorician (I think Melania was crying) :

When we have all of this, we will have made America greater than ever before. For all Americans.

This is our vision. This is our mission.

But we can only get there together.

We are one people, with one destiny.

We all bleed the same blood.

We all salute the same flag.

And we are all made by the same God.

And when we fulfill this vision; when we celebrate our 250 years of glorious freedom, we will look back on tonight as when this new chapter of American Greatness began.

The time for small thinking is over. The time for trivial fights is behind us.

We just need the courage to share the dreams that fill our hearts.

The bravery to express the hopes that stir our souls.

And the confidence to turn those hopes and dreams to action.

From now on, America will be empowered by our aspirations, not burdened by our fears — inspired by the future, not bound by the failures of the past — and guided by our vision, not blinded by our doubts.

I am asking all citizens to embrace this Renewal of the American Spirit. I am asking all members of Congress to join me in dreaming big, and bold and daring things for our country. And I am asking everyone watching tonight to seize this moment and — believe in yourselves.

Believe in your future.

And believe, once more, in America.

Thank you, God bless you, and God bless these United States.

But Nancy Pelosi and Al Franken did not seem to be moved ...

Plagiarism

A classy presentation last night at the Republican convention by Donald Trump's wife, Melania, has deteriorated overnight when it was discovered that a small part of this talk was rephrased from Michelle Obama's speech at the 2008 Democrat convention. The pejorative term being gleefully trumpeted is "plagiarism." Watching the side-by-side comparisons of these few sentences leads me to believe that Melania's speechwriter for this small section was certainly guilty of misfeasance.  The liberal media is in full playground attack mode ... predicting firings within the Trump campaign, large defections among Trump delegates, and even the breakup of the Trump marriage.

Watching MSNBC this morning would suggest that the Trump campaign is flying apart. This may be partially true, but I feel that Donald Trump has faced similar crises many times in the past and will somehow survive this kerfuffle. I also strongly suspect that one or more campaign staffers will fall on their swords well before prime TV time tonight. And this whole matter will quickly blow over ... except of course in numerous Hellary Clinton campaign ads that will be repeatedly played in the coming months. Forming these commercials will be a little tricky however... because their making Melania look bad does nothing to promote Hellary's message that this is the year of the woman.
