The American Flag was noted yesterday although there were Communist flags in abundance outside the convention hall. Other things were missing:
From Polifact:
RNC is right that no Democratic speaker mentioned ISIS on convention's first night
Night one of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia had barely ended when the Republican National Committee sent a blast email to reporters attacking the Democrats for ignoring the threat of terrorism when speaking at the podium.
"61: Number Of Speeches At The DNC Tonight," the Republican National Committee wrote. "0: Mentions Of The Global Terrorist Threat Posed By ISIS."
Was the Democratic discussion of ISIS and Islamic terrorism that thin? Basically, yes.

Lots of photos at the site. And finally, from the New York Post:
Delegate slams DNC for not donating leftover food to poor
The Democratic Party tossed out leftover food after a welcome party for delegates at the Philadelphia Museum of Art Sunday, leaving at least one delegate fuming.
“I was a hungry child. Went to bed hungry many a night,” Timothy Baumgardner, a Washington state delegate, told The Post. “I fed people from the garbage.”
He said he asked the caterer whether the food could be donated to the poor, but was told that wasn’t allowed. “Sad,” Baumgardner said.
That would have been a very simple gesture to make and would have been a major public relations coup. Instead, they just reinforced their self-identity as the ruling elite and above the cares of the little man. Clueless and out of touch.
