BORDER: [4:58] – A caravan of about 300 left Honduras on September 20 and entered southern Mexico on September 24. The group, which is still heading to our border, has since swelled to more than 600 members. Tom Homan says there’s no way in hell they’re going to get into the U.S.

COVID: @TheRickster1957 posted, “My wife contracted severe case of Covid and was struggling to breathe. I knew admitting her to hospital would have been a death sentence. I was able to reach out to @RX_forLiberty for help. He provided phone consult and prescribed Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, Budesonide and Doxycycline. Dr. Barke saved her life and did not charge a dime! I will forever be in his debt.“

DEMOCRATS “vs” REPUBLICANS: Dems voted down a Republican-led effort to ban insider trading. I’m thinking that Republican senators getting rich from insider trading didn’t actually want the bill to pass; why else would they tack on a voter ID provision they know Dems oppose? So, now Republicans get to tell their constituents they voted for the ban, while Democrats get to tell their constituents they voted against voter ID. Meanwhile, they get to keep lining their pockets in a way that is highly illegal for the rest of us.

DOUBLE STANDARDS: You know the saying … if they didn’t have double standards, they would have any standards at all.

EVERYDAY HEROES: ”Wednesday afternoon I was driving west on I-40 when my blood sugar dropped to a dangerous level. Luckily a Burger King restaurant was at the upcoming exit. As I stumbled through placing my order I mentioned to the voice on the speaker that I was diabetic and in need of food. Low blood sugar makes it difficult to think or act. I pulled up to the first window in order to pay for my food. I was shocked to see Burger King employee Tina Hardy running toward the front of my car. She squeezed between the front of my car and the building just to bring me a small serving of ice cream. Tina later explained that her husband was also diabetic and she could tell that I needed help. After paying I pulled up to Tina’s window where she gave me my food. She instructed me to park across the driveway so that she could keep an eye on me until I felt better. After eating I waited for a break in business so that I could return to Tina’s window. I then took this picture and spoke with Tina’s supervisor, telling him what she did for me.” Credit : Rebecca Boening

IRAN WAR: The New York Post reports that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has put out a 25-page letter urging Americans to vote Democrat on Nov. 3.

MAHA: A new episode of The Real Food Show. [2:53] – Back in the 1980s, I was diagnosed with a vast number of food and chemical sensitivities and had to go on a Rotary Diversified Diet (RDD) of organic foods. Initially, I only had one food per meal; when I had identified 2 I tolerated, I could try them together to see how that worked, etc.

The RDD organizes all foods by families; a specific food is only eaten once in a four day rotation, while a relative is only eaten on the second day after. E.g., in my rotation, I had turkey, cauliflower, and pears on Day One and chicken, broccoli, and apples on Day Three.

A friend was visiting for a week and I realized she had been nervous about eating meals with me when I overheard her tell her husband on the phone, “It tastes like real food!” I always thought that would make a great title for a cookbook about my diet and I’m so tickled with Sec. Kennedy’s name for his show!

MIDTERMS: [17:29] – Most often, election results are to the right of what the polls were showing. The exciting news is that the blue states are showing GOP candidates even or near even with the Democrat candidates. And get this … the latest Quinnipiac poll of men shows only 17% of American men approve of the Democratic Party!

NATIONAL SECURITY: An immigration judge has ruled that the U.S. can deport the Palestinian-born leader of Wisconsin’s largest mosque on the grounds that he is a national security threat.

TRUMP ECONOMY: So far this year, jobless claims have averaged just under 210,000. This is the lowest average for the January through September period since 1969.

The population of the United States in 1969 was approximately 202.68 million people. Today, it is estimated to be 349.04 people. If I did the math right, today’s population is 92% higher than it was in 1969. So a lowest average jobless claim is truly remarkable!

In other news, the US federal workforce is at its lowest level in 60 years, down by 11% since Trump took office.
