Your joyful Peasant received a call on Saturday from a longtime friend
and fellow conservative, inviting me at the eleventh hour to join him,
two of his brothers and his nephew to attend the Trump Make America
Great Again Rally to be held that afternoon in Waukesha. Having
attended a Trump bash in Milwaukee last winter just before the
Coronovirus pandemic got underway and nearly everything was
shuttered, with this same friend and the two of us having the time of
our lives, how could I resist?
We arrived at the location for the event around four o'clock, and for the
next four hours we had the delight of listening to a mix of patriotic,
country, classic rock and pop music while also getting to see the
campaign ad commercials that have been airing on TV around the
country, promoting President Trump's achievements while showing
Joe Biden to be the cavalier, uncaring, babbling elitist we have come
to know him to be. One must realize that politics is not a game of
patty-cake; it's a tough, uncompromising field.
We also heard speeches from some local GOP office holders and office
seekers, as well as former Ambassador Richard Grenell who
currently serves as the Special Envoy for Serbia and Kosovo Peace
Negotiations. Grenell, in my estimation, was the most exciting and
truly riveting speaker of a very esteemed group of speakers who
addressed us that afternoon. He is a man of great scholarly and
career accomplishments, and is a rising star in the Republican Party.
Although he arrived an hour late, having been travelling about
Wisconsin speaking at other rallies, President Trump made his
entrance around eight and he was as exciting, as informal, as
much energy and fun as he was at the first rally I attended.
The rally was every bit as grand, exhilarating, and as much
fun as the other one and the people there in attendance were
friendly, open, and a delight to be with. I took a misstep going
up to the seats my friends and fell, but was helped by a couple
of attendees, one of whom gave me his arm to grasp as I righted
myself and made my way to my party. I thanked them heartily
and declared "This is the difference between us and the Biden
Democrats!". Conservatives truly care about their fellow man,
and they always step forward to help someone who is in a
tricky situation, as I was at that moment (my ageing knees are
not what they used to be).
A nice little extra was when we discovered that we were, at least
briefly, on TV; one of our party was texted by a relative who sent
a picture from her TV showing the five of us in a shot that wound
up on NBC-TV, whether it was the national network or our local
affiliate I don't know but it was a great image. I shall try to get the
link so I can post it for you; it is a fine picture!
President Trump came to visit Wisconsin to bolster his support
here in the Badger State, as some polls as of this posting showed
Biden with a lead here. I'd say that, if the other rallies held for
our president were as exciting and thrilling as this one then
any lead Biden has or may have should melt away like a
snowflake in the sun. And that will help our president to
once again carry Wisconsin and storm to victory on
November 3.
