It is a telling measure of our mean-spirited culture that the first lady of the United States has been mocked and vilified for daring to redesign the Rose Garden.
Whether the design is pleasing or not, it was clear that the media would not be giving Melania Trump the Jill Biden treatment when she spoke to the Republican convention.
She has been the least public first lady in decades, and English is not her native language, but the principal sin of this elegant former fashion model is that she’s married to...him.
The Hollywood reaction is telling.I have never in my life seen this kind of vitriol spewing from the mouth of so called humans. The closet thing I can think of is the scene from Exorcist and they are all almost that ugly. Wow they must be truly frightened by this very beautiful and gracious lady, she is the woman who can win the children back. Notice how they respond to her. Another Hollywood analogy the original Wizard of Oz and would be Glinda the Good Witch of the North vs the Wicked witch of the West, and isn't that appropriate, the wicked witches were both from the east and the west. And they are still there fighting for the soul of America. And one of them is actually dead which is also very appropriate, along with the ruby slippers that Melania wears to skewer them, Those heels are like a dagger in the hearts of these evil people.

Melania is the most graceful and classy 1st Lady since Jacqueline Kennedy. She is mostly ignored by the press (which may be a blessing in disguise) and overlooked. She should be the most quoted and visible one of them all. I myself speak Italian and Slavic and if I ever get to meet her I will welcome her with her mother tongue and tell her how proud I am of her and of her family.

Isn't it strange how the left hates the Rose Garden when in fact it is a tribute to our history and she brought back elements from the original like the boxwoods and paid tribute to the likes of JFK and Pope John II as well as WWII vets with the rose choices. The Peace Rose in particular is a spectacularly beautiful rose that I remember as a child in the 50s.
The closest thing I can recall to this attack on her is the one they used against Nancy Reagan when she raised the money to replace the china in the White House. These people show their hatred for this nation in every way and have since Reagan saved it from their nasty plans way back then.

Melania is a humble, gracious woman--which Bette Midler is not. Melania is married to a very rich, famous, and powerful man, but she doesn't flaunt it--like Michelle did. Melania is an independent woman, beautiful inside and out--which Hillary never was. But she's also human, like many democrat women have forgotten they are as they spew hatred and vitriol while all the time proclaiming how tolerant and kind they are.
We have a keeper here, folks, in our beautiful FLOTUS--at least for another four years! She seems uncomfortable with the limelight, but compassionate beyond words.
MAGA!!! KAG!!! TRUMPS 2020 AND BEYOND!!! Melania, I'd love to meet you. When we win in November, the spouse and I will plan our retirement trip to see the People's House--maybe we'll get to meet you!

Pure hate really brings out the worst in people (no surprise re: Joe Lockhart, now at CNN, re: Nicholas Sandeman--he was always a vast leftwing lightweight) but Bette Middler, whom I USED to love, takes the cake re: her comments on multi lingual Melania Trump not being able to speak English. I wouldn't walk across the street to see her for free at this point, and I used to be a big fan and have her cd's et al. (Ever notice, by the way, that Melania Trump has not appeared on a single magazine cover, especially those of the women's magazines I USED to buy or subscribe to..........and Michelle Obama STILL shows up on them regularly. Conservative AND Independent woman notice these things. And stop subscribing or buying.)

... there a world of difference between the beautiful, intelligent, elegant , gracious, and grateful Melania ...and the nasty, black racist, entitled,parasite trash that is Moochele.
...but also note the HUGE difference between the smart, successful,well-spoken, patriotic Trump sons ....and hunter biden...
...you know...the guy whose political hack father pulled strings to get him into the Navy ( as a resume-enhancer)...where he got thrown out for repeated cocaine abuse... the guy who betrayed his wife and kids to shack up with the WIDOW...of his BROTHER !!...until she dumped him when he got a stripper pregnant ...classy guy... but ..he's made millions...thanks to his access to Air Force 2... and his political hack father ...who pulled strings and got him "no show" jobs in Ukraine...and CHINA.
....the apples do not fall far from the tree....hunter is as corrupt and soul-less as the creep who spawned him

#6 description of Hunter Biden pretty much sums up the Democratic Party: corrupt and soulless.

What is being said about her and by whom is the ultimate proof of her beauty, grace, class and value as a human being. Comparison to the Mooch and the Beast is cruel - to the latter.

What a lovely woman with an equally lovely Slovenian accent. And, oh yes, the stilettos. A first class FLOTUS.

In college choir, we sang a song based on the poem by Lord Byron:
''She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes:''

I thank you #4 for hitting it out of the park. What a First Lady we have in Melania Trump and she deserves all the praise she is receiving today. It was a stunning and heartfelt speech. It was pitch perfect.

As I posted here yesterday on another thread...consider the source.
I can’t imagine how miserable it must be to go through life filled with that kind of hate, anger, jealousy and bitterness. It truly s@cks to be them.

Good Lord, this article is one long back-handed, grudging article about Melania, and unabashed snark about Trump and the RNC convention, in general. Add the majority of comments at the end, and it could’ve come straight from the Puffington Host. Yuck.

Michelle talks about "going high when they go low" Melania actually does it, with grace and class.

The Democrats can wet themselves trying to compare Melania unfavorably to their Entitled Empress Michelle Obama, but deep down they aren't buying it. Nobody is.
All we do is sit back and smile.

The most delicious thing of all is knowing that while Melania is speaking, the dims and all of their Hollywood thumbsuckers are rending their garments and spitting their chardonnay. Every neuron in their brains is screaming out at them that this is the most beautiful first lady ever, that she is dressed to the nines and could have given her speech in five languages. They also see that she can speak without spewing nonsense, losing her temper and covering her chin in spittle. She reeks class. She is both beautiful and just a tad world-weary. She has looked into the pit and she has literally felt others' pain but she does so without losing her essential grit and sweetness and wisdom. She is absolutely everything that they are not and it rips their guts apart. What a night. A moment worth years.

I consider the Left the equivalent to gutter rats. They are low IQ, Low Information Voters, and low class in every way. Personally, I wish they would all disappear from our beautiful country. They don't deserve to live here and prosper. They are ingrates and ugly to the core.

Just thinking that Donaldus Magnus gets to sleep with a supermodel must drive the Marxists crazy.
Melania is the unsung cover girl. The next four years will be an American Delight.

Melania speaks 5 languages....that happens to be 5 more than Joe Biden can speak....maybe 6. If she learns to speak gibberish, she will be able to talk to him.

What a beautiful woman, a beautiful soul. Don’t bother to read Howie’s transmitting the media snark. Just watch the video of her wonderful speech and judge for yourself. Lilliputian Howie and the others could not possibly understand a woman like Melania.

Howard Kurtz's article is much like his Sunday morning TV shows. He presents the truth first and then "averages it" by quoting Soros/MediaMatters/SPLC counter talking points to give the appearance of the Fox News slogan, "Fair and Balanced." That is OK in a sense....let the viewer decide for his or her self. But he conservative point first and then the progressive spin "the last word." Just once I would like the liberal talking point first and the conservative rebuttal last.
Trying to average truth and lies doesn't give "fair and balanced" any more than mixing Evian water and horse urine gives marginally acceptable drinking water. A lie leavened by a touch of truth is just a more cleverly deceptive lie.
Something I learned traveling is that when you show respect for a country by learning (or even just trying to learn" the language, the natives invariably respect you and treat you well. Melania not only came to our country and learned the language, she seems also to have learned to love and appreciate America.
Her speech last night was not only "classy" and beautifully delivered. It had the ring of from-the-heart sincerity. Her accent actually made it more effective. Listeners had to focus a bit more closely and "pay attention" to fully perceive the nuances.
Snarky commentators listening just to find something to criticize wouldn't have gotten anything out of it if she had spoken with a perfect americanized version of Winston Churchill's eloquence.

I watched several speakers on C-span last night and I thought Melania's speech was excellent. Her delivery was so natural and I would not be surprised if Mrs. Trump did not write much of the speech herself. It's obvious that she is very involved in her role as First Lady and that she loves our country as much as her husband. She spoke about the current troubles our country is going through, and emphasized how important it is that we stay united as a country if we expect to resolve them.
She made me think of a lawn sign I saw last Sunday in a town north of Boston. Only one I ever saw like it. It was professionally done, about 25" x 20" and it was the Preamble of the Constitution, but rather than the word "We" beginning the sentence, the word was set dead center on the sign, and, of course, a bit larger than the other words. It was cream-colored and was written in script. It was well-done, but I thought that was what Melania was telling us in her speech. The only way we are going to resolve our country's problems is be united as one and not divided into groups who are always sparring with each other.

I think it's mildly amusing that people are criticizing Melania for planting roses in the Rose Garden. It had become the Tulip Garden and who knows what else was planted when the tulips died.

Yes, #15, and her absolute joy at how deeply it affected the president, and his display of love and pride in her.
It was a beautiful thing to witness, and put the lie to all of the hateful things that have been said about their relationship by the haters. Pure class. No wonder the president is proud of her and all of his family. Their love for him and for our country shown brilliantly last night.
