2020: TRUMP WENT HOME LAST NIGHT – Lefties were quick to condemn his doctor-approved drive around the block on Sunday. One guy I saw posted it had been “Irresponsible and disrespectful! But like a typical 4th grader he had to show people what he can do!”
Or maybe, just maybe, he knew it was important to reassure the world that the leader of its most powerful nation was not, in fact, at death’s door. This interpretation is supported by the immediate bump up seen on the stock market.

2020: There were more pro-Trumpers standing vigil outside Walter Reed than attended this Bernie rally for Biden.
COVID-19: In 1932, Supreme Court justice Louis Brandeis famously called the states “laboratories of democracy.” Different states can test out different policies, and they can learn from each other.
That fact has given us some important insights into how to deal with future epidemics, because governors responded to the COVID-19 pandemic at different times and in different ways. Some states, such as California, ordered sweeping shutdowns. Others, such as Florida, took a more targeted approach. Still others, such as South Dakota, dispensed information but had no lockdowns at all.
The data is in and it appears lockdowns had little effect on the spread of COVID-19.
Researchers Jay Richards, William Briggs, and Douglas Axe noted: “Data suggest mandatory lockdowns exacted a great cost, with a questionable effect on transmission. … There’s no decisive drop on the dates when lockdowns should have changed the course of the curves. Instead, the curves gradually bend downward for reasons that predate the lockdowns, with no clear changes ten days later.”
DEMOCRATS ARE DISGUSTING: [8:53] – The Far-Left is pushing to normalize pedophilia. Minor attraction must NEVER be accepted, because childhood is not a gender and there is no such thing as a consenting child.
KAYLEIGH: White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said she tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday. She doesn’t have any symptoms, but is self-quarantining.
If she weren’t working at the White House, she probably wouldn’t have gotten a test done. From what I’ve heard, the tests are much, much too sensitive, so we’re getting huge numbers of positives when the disease itself is fading away. E.g., about 90% of those who tested positive in Massachusetts, New York and Nevada during July carried barely any traces of the virus.
I saw a nurse on Facebook saying, “If you want to see the coronavirus numbers go down, stop getting tested! If you think you might have it, stay home and take care of yourself the same as you would for any cold. But don’t get tested. You don’t need to know.”

MOVIE RECOMMENDATION: This isn’t light fare by any means. But it’s very, very well done and an important piece of American history.
PERSPECTIVE: Homicide statistics from the FBI. Abortion statistics from Johnston Archives.

PUNKING THE LEFT: Trump drove around the block and the Left suddenly cared about the safety of law enforcement again AND completely derailed their claim that wearing masks protects other people. LOL

RIOTS: The Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED) tracks conflict across the globe. They collated tens of thousands of data points about “mostly peaceful protests” in the U.S. between May 26, 2020 to Sept. 5, 2020. The stats on the graphics are from their report.
SERVICE: “Check out the photo of these 3 congressmen. Jim Baird, Republican from Indiana, lost his left arm in Vietnam. Brian Mast, Republican from Florida, lost both legs in Afghanistan. Dan Crenshaw, Republican from Texas, lost his right eye in Afghanistan. All three of these men are Purple Heart recipients. But how often have you seen them on the evening news? Yet how often have we seen the two Muslim women, and the communist from NY, all blabbering vulgarities and spouting out anti-Israel/anti-American insults? Let’s see appreciation for real service to our nation!” – Sharon Ray (Facebook)
WALK AWAY: Today’s excerpt – “I still don’t know exactly when things changed. I feel like it started when I watched Nancy Pelosi tear up the Presidents speech. I was for the first time ever embarrassed of the Democratic party.
“Then there was the impeachment. I drive 1.5 hours to work each way every day and I would listen to CNN the whole ride. I was not only embarrassed but honestly angry at how it seemed the President was being setup. I started secretly listening to Fox News on the way to work and CNN on the way home. …
“I woke up one morning (literally) and realized for the first time ever that I had been fooled by the Democrats. … Realizing my previous beliefs were wrong was a really hard pill to swallow. I still can’t believe that it took me so long to see the light. I’m just thankful I did.
“I will be voting for Donald Trump. I thank God I saw the light and hope there are more people like me that open their eyes.”

This is exactly what (some red state) universities are doing – and was a topic on http://www.wbap.com/ this morning.
Thinking / knowing people are moving forward (as foggy as the enemy makes our environment) – we are marching forward.
