RNC Final Night

People – mostly the news media – were concerned when the Republican National Convention was trying to get started.  It was going to literally rain on their parade.  Natural disasters do not consult with political parties for a convenient time to occur.  The GOP did what was needed – curtailing events on their opening night,… Continue reading RNC Final Night
