Reflection on President Trump’s campaign rally in Tulsa

President Donald Trump has returned to the campaign trail. 

Trump held a “comeback” rally on Saturday, June 20, at the BOK Center in Tulsa, OK. 

It was his first campaign rally in over three months due to the coronavirus pandemic. 

Between 6,000 and 12,000 people attended the rally, which took place in an indoor facility that could hold 19,000. News outlets have reported the number was around 6,200 people.

Democrats and the mainstream media quickly condemned the rally’s low attendance, pointing out Trump’s ability to draw packed crowds to his rallies. They claim it shows a lack of enthusiasm for Trump and his reelection campaign. 

Nothing could be further from the truth.

There were over 1 million ticket requests for Trump’s Tulsa rally. Obviously, not all of those people could get inside the stadium. 

Tens of thousands of Trump supporters gathered outside the arena in Tulsa in the days leading up to the rally, either celebrating or trying to get their chance to get a ticket. 

Anti-Trump protesters and Coronavirus fears played a role in the low attendance. 

Anti-Trump protests led by AntiFa and Black Lives Matter were taking place outside the arena and in downtown Tulsa. These same groups were behind the rioting and looking that has taken place throughout our country in the wake of George Floyd’s death at the hands of four crooked police officers.

Businesses and entire communities were destroyed because of the violent rioters, who are now turning their attention to destroying statues and monuments of prominent American figures, not just Confederate ones. Statues of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, Theodore Roosevelt and other pro-American monuments have been attacked by Left-wing mobs who want to destroy American history and culture.

The anti-Trump protesters’ presence led to the potential for violent clashes either with police or Trump supporters in Tulsa. City officials in Tulsa even declared a civil emergency and a curfew for the day of the rally because of the risk of potential violence breaking out.

In the days leading up to Trump’s Tulsa rally, the mainstream media claimed the rally was going to be a hotbed for spreading the Coronavirus.

This is ironic because these same politicians and media pundits who claim Trump was spreading the virus by having a rally in the first place don’t condemn large events that liberals support. 

These same people don’t condemn the anti-police protests throughout our country that draw large crowds, with people not wearing masks or practicing social distancing.  

Even with around 6,200 people, the packed crowd was still able to be loud and vocal in their support for President Trump, even though the facility wasn’t at full attendance. 

Fox News’ Laura Ingraham reported that Trump’s Tulsa rally also generated a record number of viewers through television and online streaming. Trump’s rally, which was broadcast on Fox News Channel, set a new Fox News record for a Saturday night audience. 

Trump has plenty of enthusiasm going for him five months until Election Day. A Fox News poll shows 62% of Trump supporters are enthusiastic, while Joe Biden—Trump’s Democrat rival in 2020—only had around 31% enthusiasm among his supporters. 

No matter how many people showed up for Trump’s “Make America Great Again” rally in Tulsa, marking his return to the campaign trail after the lockdown and economic shutdown due to the Coronavirus pandemic, the media and Democrats were always going to condemn it. Their coverage leading up to the rally has always been negative, just as they’ve done the last four years ever since Trump ran in 2016. 

Our economy is starting to recover from the coronavirus. States and businesses are starting to open back again. 

We need to work harder to support President Trump and make sure he wins in November. 

Trump strengthened our country and our U.S. economy once. He can do it again. 

Together, we will make America great again.

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever (2024) Review

The movie starts by introducing us to the Herdmans, a group of poor kids who are the worst kids in town. Even the girls.   Told through the narration of the main protagonist, Beth Bradley, the Herdmans are bullies and juvenile delinquents who spend their time terrorizing the other kids and the townspeople.  Everyone in town hates them, especially the parishioners and busy-body mothers at the local Christian parish.  That changes as the film progresses and our main characters see the Herdmans in a new light as they become involved in the town’s local Christmas pageant.  Sadly, Grace Bradley is forced to take over the pageant after Mrs. Armstrong breaks her legs.  When the Herdmans join the Christmas pageant under the motivation of receiving free food and desserts by going to church, somewhere nobody expected the Herdmans to show their faces, every expects the worst to happen.  However, once the pageant comes around, the entire town has a newfound...

Movie Review: The 5th Wave as Anti-Military propaganda

This article was originally published on June 9, 2017. Normally a story that involves humans fighting seemingly invincible aliens warrants a good story. You'd also think the military would be there to protect Americans. But before long, it becomes clear to the protagonists in “The 5th Wave (2016)” that Americans should resist the military, that the soldiers are the real enemy to humanity. "The 5th Wave," based on the Rick Yancey novel of the same name, follows a long line of Hollywood's assaults on the honor and integers of the brave men and women who fight for their country. Unfortunately, most of Hollywood hasn't limited their attacks to five. The film centers around a young girl who sets out to find her brother after their father is killed in a massacre carried out by military forces. Right after the parents do the natural thing and resist being separated from their children forever. This is the director's way of telli...
