Phyllis Chesler "Douglas Murray nailed it. In today's NY Post, he presented the last night of the Democrat Convention as staged as an evening of Academy Awards. A celebrity infomercial. A popular culture extravaganza. A completely staged, scripted, manic, fantasy or a Big Fat Lie. Everything that speakers attributed to Trump was more than true about the last four years of the Biden-Harris administration--and of the Obama administration before them.
"Unleashing tyrants in Iran, China, Russia. That's on the Democrats. Withdrawing American power from Afghanistan--that's on BIden-Harris. Speaker after speaker projected their own failings onto the Trump administration and in so doing reminds me of what Hamas does in the name of Palestine.
"I admit it--I kept dropping in and dropping out of the performances--but that's what I also do for the real Academy Awards."
Douglas Murray:These are the Dems who deserve an Oscar for the fake, all-an-act convention "The Democratic National Convention in Chicago this week was one heck of a production. Less like a normal political convention and more like a glitzy Hollywood one.
" 'With a host of A-list celebrities and B-list politicians, it felt most like the Oscars.
"So in honor of this, the Academy would like to hand out a set of awards for the best performances in Chicago this week:
Best Actress — Nancy Pelosi "There really was no competition in this category. Nancy Pelosi gave the performance of a lifetime, reading every one of her lines without cracking.
"We will not soon forget the way in which she said that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris had “established one of the most successful presidencies of modern times.”
"And then put such emotion into her voice while talking about infrastructure on rural broadband!
"We will not soon forget the way in which she said that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris had “established one of the most successful presidencies of modern times.”
"And then put such emotion into her voice while talking about infrastructure on rural broadband.
"Her performance was second to none as she paid tribute to the man whose career she so recently ended.
"She emoted. She praised. She licked her lips. And during Biden’s own performance, she could be seen enthusiastically waving a “We love Joe” sign. It takes an actor of once-in-a-generation skill to do what Nancy did.
Best Supporting Actress — Hillary Clinton "The former first lady is a master of the supporting role. So it was inevitable that there would be artistry in her performance. And so it proved.
"Who could fail to be impressed when she talked about the glass ceiling that she and Kamala had done so much to crack?
"Or the way in which she held a smile even as she said that Kamala should be the first woman to make it to the Oval Office?
"Some viewers may have gotten the feeling that Hillary was about to grab a bigger trophy and burst out screaming, “It should have been mine” at any moment. But she didn’t.
"She kept herself measured and turned in a performance of rare, multi-layered complexity, underscored by a raw, sublimated rage.
Best Actor — Bill Clinton "The boy from Arkansas took the stage for half an hour to remind people of the good old days. By which he meant the days of George Washington.
"Without bursting out laughing once, Bill Clinton compared Joe Biden to George Washington and said that, like Washington, Biden had exited the stage at a time of his own choosing." . . .

"He managed a whole speech, whipped himself up into a rage over things that nobody said and wiped a tear from his face as he accepted the gratitude of a party that wanted him gone.
In conclusion: "Not too long ago, borders were secure, the world was at peace, gas was affordable, groceries were affordable, mortgage interest rates were 2.5%, and the economic outlook was outstanding. Now look at the mess in less than 4 years."
