RESCUE: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/thedodosite/videos/683765165678327 [3:31] to see yet another dog rescue end with a healthy, happy animal living with his forever family. I love these in part because they are such beautiful metaphors for how God seeks to rescue each one of us and how, if we can put aside our fears and anger, we can end up healthy and happy, living in our real forever home.

2020: Can you change your vote? – The answer in most states is YES.

2020: As Trump holds 3 rallies a day, Joe and Kamala are nowhere to be seen. Ditto the media. It is a largely unreported phenomenon that grassroots Trump rallies have been happening for months and in some of the places he most needs to win.

The one in the photo above happened last Saturday, less than two weeks before Election Day. It was planned entirely by local Trumpers, not by the Trump campaign. The caravan of approximately 2,000 cars, many with whole families inside, drove 12 miles honking and waving American and Trump flags.

Byron York of The Washington Examiner said, “As far as I could tell, I was the only newsperson there.”

Data collected by the Trump campaign about planned rally attendees suggests that his base is expanding way past registered Republicans and people who voted for him in 2016. At three recent rallies in Pennsylvania, 14-24% of attendees were not Republicans and 21-22% did not vote in 2016.

ACB: Thank You, Lord!

CLICK https://www.facebook.com/TuckerCarlsonTonight/videos/1100863733680103 [2:57] to hear Candace Owens speak truth to power. She is such a wonderful speaker.

Meanwhile, the ever-fair-and-balanced jerknalists at CNN and MSDNC didn’t bother to cover the confirmation vote.

ANTIFA: “Yesterday the New Yorker published a lengthy piece about Antifa in Portland which feels like it was written by someone who set out to write something positive about the group but who, after spending some time with them, couldn’t quite manage it. …

“It’s impossible to read this piece and come away thinking Antifa and their allies are the good guys. There is also some criticism of the Portland Police, but you can’t have murder, vandalism, beatings, arson, vehicular attacks and Molotov cocktails being used on a regular basis as part of a diversity of tactics and still maintain Antifa are victims. The whole piece is worth reading if you have the time.” – John Sexton

BACK THE BLUE: Operation Autumn Hope – During the month of October, U.S. Marshals recovered 45 missing children and made 169 arrests.

Operation Autumn Hope is a multi-agency law enforcement operation focused on human trafficking as well as finding missing or endangered children.

BLACK BLOC: I didn’t know there was a name for this – “A black bloc is a tactic used by protesters who wear black clothing, ski masks, scarves, sunglasses, motorcycle helmets with padding, or other face-concealing and face-protecting items. The clothing is used to conceal wearers’ identities and hinder criminal prosecution by making it difficult to distinguish between participants. It is also used to protect their faces and eyes from pepper spray, which is used by police during protests or civil unrest. The tactic allows the group to appear as one large unified mass. Black bloc participants are often associated with anarchism, anarcho-communism, communism, libertarian socialism, antifascism, or the anti-globalization movement.”

CATHOLIC: Opinion by Antonio Socci – “[This pope] has never before made an explicit public announcement like this that contradicts the official and perennial Magisterium of the Church. The novelty of this step is therefore enormous. …

“The papal utterance has thrown the Catholic world into bewilderment and confusion. But Bergoglio is not worried about this. For him questions of doctrine or morals or spirituality are useful only instrumentally, in service of an objective that is always only and totally political.”

HUNTER: I’m listening to Dan Bongino talking about how Slime Jerknalists are claiming the Hunter email story was broken by a “tabloid.”

The New York Post is the oldest newspaper in the country. It was founded in 1801 by Founding Father Alexander Hamilton.

IOWA: When the University of Northern Iowa’s Student Government voted to ban Students for Life of America, the affected students sent an appeal to UNI’s president., Mark Nook. He has ruled in favor of the pro-lifers saying that “by denying them recognition when they intend, in good faith, to engage in lawful activities, we deny them their right to free speech and assembly guaranteed to them by the First Amendment.”

MEDIA MALPRACTICE: The Slimers are doubling down on their hyper-politicization of what is supposed to be news that voters need to make wise decisions.

Their coverage of Joe Biden has been 62% positive.

Their coverage of Donald Trump has been 92% negative.

NEW YORK: Chucky Schmucker is an embarrassment.

Schumer: “Today … will go down as one of the darkest days in the 231-year history of the United States Senate.” – Oct 26, 2020 (Amy Coney Barrett confirmed to SCOTUS)

Schumer: “This resolution will go down as one of the darker moments in Senate history.” – Jan 25 2020 (President Trump’s impeachment vote)

Schumer: This will “mark today as one of the darkest … days in the long history of this Senate.” – Dec 1, 2017 (Tax bill)

NY POST: The nation’s oldest newspaper has endorsed Donald Trump and is still locked out of its Twitter account.

OOPS: I saw this on FB – “Are you freakin serious??? So after leaving the drive thru today, I took my sandwich out of the bag and I see THIS!! Seriously? Oh not today, not today!! I went back to the restaurant, went INSIDE (already fuming), asked to speak to the manager and then threw the sandwich on the counter. I asked him for an explanation. He looked confused, so I pointed at the writing on the sandwich and demanded that he tells me why someone felt the need to write it on my sandwich. He answered, “because you ordered a BLT with cheese??” To which I replied “Oh.”

PENNSYLVANIA: West Philadelphia – More than 30 police officers were injured in West Philadelphia Monday night after anti-cop rioters clashed with authorities following a police-involved shooting.

The whole thing started after 27-year-old Walter Wallace, a black man, brandished a knife at officers who were responding to a domestic violence call. Instead, video from the incident shows him failing to respond to multiple orders to drop the weapon and lunging at the police, who had their weapons drawn. Two officers then fired at Wallace, who was hit several times and died at the scene.

The incident kicked off a massive protest-turned-riot, during which 30 people were arrested and more than two-dozen officers were wounded as violent activists vandalized buildings and vehicles, lit dumpsters on fire, and broke multiple store windows. Others busted into shops and began hauling shoes and clothes away in black garbage bags.

POLLS: Like Trafalgar, the pollsters at USC Dornsife say their “social circle” question (i.e., how do your friends plan to vote?) is predicting that Biden will win the popular vote by a large margin, but will narrowly lose the Electoral College and, thus, the White House.

In 2016, this question predicted outcomes more accurately than either the own-intention question or aggregate polling. For example, it got right four of the five swing states that unexpectedly went to Trump (Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin). The own-intention question only got three of them and aggregate polling got none.

PROJECT VERITAS: Massive voter fraud by operative for Mauro Garza who is running for Congress for Texas-20. In the 17:47 video, Raquel Rodriguez admits repeatedly that she’s breaking the law in multiple ways … while she wears her little gold cross necklace. ::gagme::

Undercover video is embedded at the PV link.

RUSSIAN COLLUSION: Remember when the Left shrieked at us for more than two years that Putin owned Trump, because of some sex tapes he had that Trump wouldn’t want anyone to see?

Guess what?! Surprise (not). The real person who is owned by Putin because of sex tapes is … wait for it … Hunter Biden and his skeezy dad.

Joe made his son, Hunter, the Biden Crime Family’s bag man. Hunter arranged big money deals with countries hostile to the U.S. in exchange for access to Joe. He gave half of the take to Joe and used the other half to support himself and the rest of the Biden clan.

And because they’re not stupid, the people who bought Joe bought insurance for themselves in the form of blackmail photos/videos of Hunter, who cheerfully took advantage of the sex and drug opportunities offered to him.

SOUR GRAPES: @HillaryClinton tweet – “It is an insult to the American people that the GOP is ramming through a Supreme Court justice with just eight days until the end of an election in which nearly 60 million people have already voted.” (Oct 26, 2020)

@BattleSwarmBlog reply – “It is an insult to the American people that @realDonaldTrump beat you fair and square four years ago and you and your cadre of corrupt cronies have done everything you could to ignore that and obstruct his constitutional powers and duties.” (Oct 26, 2020)

TEXAS: The Texas Army National Guard will be sending up to 1,000 troops to five cities across the state to support local officials ahead of Election Day.

UNEXPECTED STAR: This is a fun show, kind of a combination of Candid Camera and Britain’s Got Talent. CLICK https://www.facebook.com/TheMichaelMcIntyre/videos/628048197888027 [19:55] to see Kiera.

WALK AWAY: Today’s excerpt – My two daughters have been in college for years and have been brainwashed into being Democrats. I talked to them for years without making a dent. What finally push them over the edge was Hunter Biden’s laptop. They finally have their eyes open.

2020: On Thursday, Dementia Joe managed to get through a 90 minute debate after taking 4 days off to rest. On Sunday, he said twice that he’s running against George.

To give Joe some credit, he’s absolutely right about the importance of this election. But I have no interest in living in the kind of country he … well, Kamala … would steer us into, cuz we’ve all seen it. Cuba was a prosperous nation; then, they voted in Castro. Venezuela was a prosperous nation; then they voted in Chavez.

2020: Dearest told me some inspiring local news. One, there are four times as many TRUMP signs on our street this year than in 2016. Two, a friend of ours has been wearing his Trump hat everywhere he goes. He doesn’t drive, so he has a lot of face-to-face contacts. He has yet to be verbally or physically assaulted. In fact, he says he gets a steady stream of cheers, horns, and thumbs ups!

2020: CLICK https://twitter.com/FrancisBrennan/status/1320027653953507328 [:10] to hear Jill Biden get a wimpy response to her call to “stand with Biden and Harris” … while Joe wanders around behind her.

BACK THE BLUE: Especially the ones on four feet and their two-legged handlers! – Last Tuesday, a toddler and his dog wandered off from their rural Iowa home. Mason City Police Officer Duane Kemna and K-9 Kilo tracked him to through several acres of timber to a creek where the boy had gone wading. The boy was fine. I’m guessing his parents not so much.

CALIFORNIA: Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom’s Department of Health has issued an updated “Guidance for Private Gatherings” in time for Thanksgiving. Basically, fun is illegal in California:

Gatherings that include more than 3 households are prohibited. This includes everyone present, including hosts and guests. So if you have three grown children, you can invite two of them.

Oh, and forget hanging out in the den watching the game, cuz it has to be outside. And don’t even THINK about having your annual tag football game, cuz physical exertion increases the risk of transmission.

Also banned are singing, chanting and shouting … though that last one might be a good idea, given today’s political climate. Not that anyone will be close enough to chat, since “each household must be kept 6 feet apart in all directions—front-to-back and side-to-side.”

Gatherings should be two hours or less, so hurry up and finish your turkey, Grandma. Then, go sanitize your hands again at the mandatory hand sanitizing station. But thank Gov. Newsom that you’re allowed to use the powder room instead of their bushes … just so long as you let the hostess know so she can run inside and sanitize it between visitors.

I guess the homeless can forget their annual turkey and pie blow out at the local soup kitchen. Are soup kitchens even allowed anymore? Or did California decide it was better to starve to death than risk catching a virus that is less lethal than the seasonal flu?

HUNTER: Warning – The following from Gnews is disturbingly graphic and heart-breaking.

One of the videos is that Hunter Biden used his 9.5-inch genitals to continuously poke a girl’s vagina after taking drugs. This little girl looks only about 10 years old and is a Chinese girl. In the video, the little girl’s lower body continued to bleed, and the little girl kept screaming, terribly. These videos will be released to the public after the face and key parts are blurred. You can see the girl’s hands and feet, as well as hear the girl’s cry.

“These exposed videos are only the tip of the iceberg of evidence of the Biden family’s crimes, but they can give a glimpse of how the CCP used extreme sexual bribery to control Western politicians.”

ILLINOIS: Chicago – Hundreds of private school students are back in class, but the Chicago Teachers Union won’t even come to the table to discuss returning to in-person learning. Chicago Public Schools serves 361,000 students in more than 600 schools.

JEWS FOR TRUMP: Anti-Trumpers attacked a YUGE ‘Jews for Trump’ convoy in New York City by throwing rocks and eggs, pepper-spraying cars filled with families, splashing paint on cars, punching windows, etc. They also threw eggs at Trump’s personal lawyer and former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

JOEL 2:25 INTERNATIONAL – Jeremy Schwab, founder of this Christian ministry for men, women, youths, and families affected by Same Sex Attraction, say they feel betrayed by Pope Francis.

Catholic News Agency is reporting that Pope Francis’s remarks on civil unions included in a new documentary were spliced together, out of context, from a 2019 interview. He needs to clarify what he originally said asap.

KARMA: MAGA style – CLICK https://twitter.com/bvoice_p/status/1320442589053476864 [:06] to see a Trumper get sucker punched in the head by some butthole in a black ANTIFA mask who gets quick retribution in the form of a butt kicking.

LATINO VOTE: [1:50] – Jorge Masvidal is the son of a Cuban refugee and is a champion MMA fighter. “When you’re winning Super Bowls, you don’t replace the coach. … And you certainly don’t replace him with another coach who has been in the sport for 47 years and never won a game.”

MASSACHUSETTS: Boston – On Saturday, some schmuck set a fire in a Boston ballot drop box that destroyed 35 filled out ballots.

MICROSOFT: Can’t you just feel the “love trumps hate” COEXIST-y tolerance?

PELOSI: On Sunday, San Fran Nan said, if Democrats keep control of the House of Representatives, she will seek another term as Speaker.

POLLS: Trump was down by three points last week in Rasmussen’s White House Watch survey. Now he’s up by one. That’s a four point swing in a single week!

PRECIOUS FEET: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=548847769156601 to see an interview with Dr. Sacco, the man who took the iconic “precious feet” photo that proved children killed by abortion are not mere “clumps of cells.” He refused to copyright the image, so it could be used by anybody to help end the slaughter.

RACISM: San Diego public schools have decided to institute racist grading policies in a bid to “prove” they’re not racists. Instead of figuring out why Black and Hispanic students earn more failing grades than White and Asian students, they’re going to just give them higher grades.

TREASON: The revelations from Hunter’s laptop just keep going from bad to worse!

From 2010 to 2012, the ChiComs killed or imprisoned 18 to 20 CIA sources, dismantling a network that was years in the making and hobbling U.S. spying operations.

Investigators were divided over whether there was a spy within the Central Intelligence Agency who betrayed the sources or whether the Chinese hacked the CIA’s covert communications system.

On Saturday, the Chinese who leaked a number of Hunter Biden porn videos and pictures said it was the Bidens who gave the ChiComs the names of the CIA sources … thereby condemning them and our intelligence operations.

If this can be corroborated … whoa, Nellie!

The revelation about the CIA is part of the video posted at GTV (bottom link). If you don’t want to have to bleach your eyes, just watch the first minute and the last two minutes. The video in between is a partially blurred out video of Hunter Biden smoking crack and getting a … I dunno what to call it … foot job? He really does have an enormous man part.

P.S., I don’t want to hear one more word about how Donald Trump is an embarrassment to our nation.

TRANS: Worth listening – CLICK https://www.facebook.com/aklavan/videos/4389245141112881 [3:06] to hear a medical student and Ben Shapiro discuss why transgenderism is not biology.

WALK AWAY: “Yesterday we hit a major milestone in our #WalkAway Campaign Facebook group; 500,000 MEMBERS! That’s half a million people on Facebook alone that have HAD IT with the Left, that have been brave enough to dare to question an ideology that isolates and ostracizes people and destroys American values. But the bigger we get, the more threatened big tech becomes. They are targeting us, removing hundreds of pieces of content from our groups daily. They’re looking for any reason to label us a hate group, connect us to conspiracy theories and violence. They’ve set the wheels in motion to SHUT US DOWN.”

If the Media Hated Democrats

Joe Biden regularly would have to answer questions like these …

Given your obvious mental deterioration and your difficulty working a full schedule on the campaign trail, why should the American people believe you are physically and mentally capable of handling a job as demanding as the presidency?

You have been in government since 1972, so aren’t you part of the problem? Why should anyone believe you’ll make things better?

While you were Vice President, America had the weakest economic recovery since the Great Depression. Shouldn’t Americans expect the same poor performance this time if you win?

Was your son Hunter qualified for his Burisma board member position? What exactly did he bring to that position other than the possibility you would use your position as Vice-President to help him?

You tried to dodge questions about your son’s notorious laptop that was left in a Delaware store. Are you claiming that the laptop is not his?

Compromising pictures of an underage girl were supposedly found on your son’s laptop and there are indications you knew about this beforehand and talked with him about it. Did you do anything to protect that girl from your son?

Very clearly, your son Hunter has made millions by promising people access and help from you, but you say you have not given it. Given the revelations of Laptopgate, why should anyone believe you?

Are you willing to condemn #Blacklivesmatter for all the rioting, looting, lawbreaking, and bad behavior associated with the group?

The no-bail policies you support have dramatically exacerbated the violence and rioting of your supporters in many places. Are you willing to abandon those policies and call for all of your supporters who break the law to be charged with a crime and held on bail?

You have denied that you want to do away with fracking and fossil fuel many times, but there is video of you saying it. Were you lying then or are you lying now?

Under the Title IX rules that were put in place during the Obama administration, lawsuits have proven that college men were being convicted of sexual assaults they didn’t commit on college campuses. The Trump administration changed these rules, but you say you want to go back to them. Why do you believe it’s okay for college men to be falsely labeled as rapists by kangaroo courts that make it impossible for them to defend themselves?

The United States is currently 27 trillion dollars in debt. You have proposed programs that will add another 11 trillion in debt. Do you see programs like Medicare and Social Security surviving in their current forms when we are that far in the hole and if so, how?

A family of four earning $73,000 saves $2,000 per year because of the Trump tax cuts and their taxes will go up if you, as promised, repeal the Trump tax cuts. So, aren’t you lying when you say no one making less than $400,000 will have their taxes raised if you become President?

You want to give citizenship to 11 million illegal aliens. Why do they deserve Medicare and Social Security benefits? Also, that will encourage millions of other illegal aliens to come here. Will you give them citizenship, too?

Why do you now believe it’s moral to fund abortions using the tax dollars of people who are adamantly opposed to killing unborn children?

You have talked about a “national mask mandate,” but have given few details. Will you force people to wear masks in gyms? When they’re walking outside? At home with their loved ones? In between bites of food at a restaurant? Should people be jailed for refusing?

You are well known for your unwanted sniffing and kissing of women and girls. You have also been credibly accused of sexually assaulting a former aide. Are you a sexual predator, Joe? Can women be safe around you?

Many people believe that stacking the Supreme Court would turn them into puppets for the White House and destroy respect for the court. You’ve refused to say whether you support this radical change. Are you willing to finally tell us where you stand on this?

There are many Democrats that favor getting rid of the legislative filibuster in the Senate. That is a radical move that could destabilize the country. Do you support it?

Millions of Americans lost their health care plans and prices have gone up dramatically because of the Affordable Care Act. Would you be willing to apologize to the American people for all the lies used to sell that legislation and for the failure of Obamacare?

BACK THE BLUE: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/aklavan/videos/791577224995812 [3:15] to see what happens when BLM protesters are presented with facts and data that conflict with their prejudice. To save you some time, here’s a quote. “Don’t you care about facts?” “F*** off.”

HUNTER’S LAPTOP: A site called Gnews has obtained at least some of the porn files Rudy Giuliani told us were on the computer. I’ve never been to the site before, but they appear to focus a lot on China. Some of the stories appear to be in Chinese.

So far, we’ve been told that the repair guy has (or had) a copy of the hard drive and that he turned the laptop itself over to the FBI which has opened a money laundering case. Repair guy also gave a copy to Giuliani, who has shared at least some of the material with the New York Post.

Giuliani has said he will not be releasing the pornographic materials, probably because he turned another copy of the hard drive over to the Delaware police, who decided it belonged with the FBI, because of the child pornography contained on it. Or maybe because the Biden Crime Family owns Delaware …

Long point being … I am guessing the leak did not come from a U.S. source, but from a Gnews contact in China. (They say the ChiComs have been blackmailing Hunter.)

I blocked the view on the image above; Gnews left it as is. I wish I could unsee it.

MICHIGAN: Detroit – Undercover video of election trainers explaining exactly how to go about stealing the election for the Democrats. Full disclosure: My blood pressure and I couldn’t get through this.

NARAL:

What a FILTHY slur from the oldest pro-abortion organization in the country, source of the absolutely debunked LIE that “25,000 women die every year from back alley abortions.

Dr. Bernard Nathanson belonged to NARAL back in the early days. After he woke up and switched sides told us he helped cook up the fake number. (The real one was about 125.)

POLLING: At this time in 2016, the polls were giving Hillary a 90%+ chance of winning. It’s almost like the pollsters and the Leftstream Media didn’t learn a darn thing, because they’re harping on how Biden is going to walk away with the Oval Office.

Since the Trafalgar Group was the rare outlier that actually got it right in 2016, because Robert Cahaly, CEO of the Atlanta-based polling firm, identified and solved what appear to be the biggest problems. One is the social-desirability bias (aka, Bradley effect) which is people tending to want to please the pollster. Another is that conservatives are less likely to participate, while people who hate Trump are more likely to participate. They also discount national polls, because the presidency is won state by state.

The National Review link provides a lot of detail about Trafalgar’s methods and predictions for 2020, if you’re interested. On October 18, when the article was published, Cahaly’s best guess was an Electoral College victory for Trump “in the high 270s, low 280s.” This may have shifted significantly in Trump’s favor given his performance in last Thursday’s debate.

TAMPAX: Some SJW moron at this company decided to disrespect customers in favor of making a handful of biologically-intact female-to-male trannies feel good about themselves.

Tampax Tweet = Fact: Not all women have periods. Also a fact: Not all people with periods are women. Let’s celebrate the diversity of all people who bleed!

They got slammed by disgruntled customers; see above. Also, men who said things like, “I cut myself shaving. I am a person bleeds.”

“Sigh…so tired of companies disrespecting their main target audience & gaslighting the public for virtue signaling points.”

“Funny how the faces are literally erased. Because that is their goal : Erasing WOMEN, who are FEMALES.”

“Did Tampax just re-label women as ‘people who bleed’? My God that’s grim.”

VOX: During the final 2020 Presidential Debate, Trump said about windmill-generated power: “It’s extremely expensive. Kills all the birds.”

Vox “fact” checked this by pointing out that CATS “are the true enemies of the birds.” They even included a GRAPH to PROVE that Orange Man Bad is stooopid.

But Vox is the stoopid one. It is well known that, after habitat loss from agriculture, wind turbines are the greatest human threat large, high conservation value birds.

I’m pretty sure that Fluffy and Mittens aren’t murdering any golden eagles, bald eagles, burrowing owls, red-tailed hawks, Swainson’s hawks, American kestrels, white-tailed kites, peregrine falcons, or prairie falcons … to name just some of the species wind turbines are slaughtering.

Scientists also say that wind turbines are the second biggest human threat to bats in general and the single greatest human threat to migratory bats in particular. This is bad, because bats eat a bazillion insects that would otherwise eat our food crops and spread various nasty diseases.

But yeah, Vox, you go ahead being stoopid and sucky. And I’ll go ahead never clicking on your pathetic site.

WALK AWAY: Today’s excerpt – “It seemed impossible that a REPUBLICAN would go to bat for blue collar workers. That’s the Democrats’ job … right? But as I looked back at the past decade, I realized that sometime after Occupy Wallstreet the DNC had abandoned their focus on unions and the average worker for talk about privilege and racial resentment, leaving the position of “politics for the people” as unclaimed real estate. Bernie spoke about American jobs and manufacturing, and look at what the DNC did to him. The American worker had no representative … except for Trump. And here he was, doing what I’d hoped Bernie could do: set a match to the 5,600 pages of bureaucratic nightmare that was the TPP, once and for all.”

2020: President Trump’s final debate performance inspired a record fundraising haul from supporters … more than $26 million. A surge in online donations also occurred prior to election day in 2016, but this one is triple the size and a week earlier.

60 MINUTES: [37:51] – President Donald Trump has released the full length recording of his interview with 60 Minutes journalist Lesley Stahl in order to prove it was disgraceful.

She says, “I’m not going to fact check you,” but she also keeps telling Trump “No, no.” Biden can lie his face off and jerknalists just nod and smile. Example: Trump says, “He’s in the midst of a scandal,” and she says, “No, no.”

He says states should “open up carefully,” then she bleats, “You don’t say ‘carefully’!” Uhhh … he JUST DID.

BACK THE BLUE: [:30] – Cops are awesome!

CALIFORNIA: San Francisco [1:12] – Burglary is up burglary is up 53% in Nancy Pelosi’s “leftest of the left” city. The net result is not pretty.

CHAZ/CHOP: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/aklavan/videos/670555263888804 [5:30] to see funniest home videos from the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone which is now, literally, “utopia” (which means, literally, “no place”).

CLEAN AIR: Trump’s EPA has been focused on enforcement and compliance and it is paying off. Since 2017, criteria air pollutant emissions have fallen 7 percent, making our current air quality the best it’s been since modern record keeping began

COVID-19: The Food and Drug Administration has approved the antiviral drug known as remdesivir for treatment of the novel coronavirus. The drug, sold under the name Veklury, will be used for hospitalized COVID-19 patients. It is the first coronavirus disease treatment to receive FDA approval.

DISHWASHERS: [2:29] – The Trump administration has finalized plans to release a new rule allowing one class of dishwashers to clean a load in less than an hour. The actual regulatory text will be posted in the Federal Register by the Department of Energy in two weeks.

“President Trump has once again made good on his promise to free Americans from ludicrous government regulations—this time bringing a commonsense reform to dishwashers,” Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought said in a public statement.

EARLY VOTER REGRET: On October 23, the number of people googling for information on how to change their votes skyrocketed.

If Joe eliminates oil, maybe we can go back to slaughtering whales. I hear their oil makes good lubricant.

HUMAN TRAFFICKING: In 2018 alone, more than 23,000 human trafficking victims were identified in the United States. Of these victims, 65% were women. More than 1 in 5 were children.

Rather than dismantle law enforcement agencies, as the far left demands, President Trump has doubled funding for the Department of Justice to combat human trafficking, signed the largest DOJ grant package in history to stop trafficking (which includes grants to provide safe housing for survivors), and signed nine pieces of bipartisan legislation that target human traffickers, both domestically and internationally.

On Oct. 20, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the opening of its Washington-based Center for Countering Human Trafficking, calling it the first operations center of its kind supporting federal criminal investigations in the United States.

The initiative is part of a government commitment to combat human trafficking, an issue that President Donald Trump has made a hallmark of his administration.

KENTUCKY: Unlike King County Library System in Washington (see below), the University of Kentucky decided that “separate but equal” didn’t go nearly far enough to deal with the systemic racism that is literally bred into the very DNA of white people.

UK’s Resident Assistant training included sessions where RA trainees were separated by skin color.

People of Pallor were directed to the White Accountability Space were provided with “materials” that included a list of 41 ways in which they are awful.

People who self-identify as being “of color” went to the Healing Space for Staff of Color where they could do what they pleased, minus any helpful “materials.”

NOT HITLER: For years, they told us Trump is literally Hitler, that his Big Goal was to become the fascist Dictator of America, like his hero Adolf.

Except he never did any such thing, not even when “under immense pressure by the media and other Democratic operatives, at a time when nearly all global leaders were using the pandemic as an excuse to seize greater control, Trump did not.” -Mollie Hemingway, The Federalist.

NPR: The biggest scandal in American history … OR … not really a story?

PEACE: Folks remarked how Joe Biden did manage to get through Thursday’s debate without losing his toons and spewing word salad. I’d like to point out that he took all of Monday through Thursday off to “prepare for the debate.” (And rest up.)

Meanwhile, Trump spent all of Monday through Thursday preparing for the debate, flying out to campaign rallies, giving interviews, doing his usual presidential duties … and brokering yet another peace deal to help keep Israel safe.

On October 23, 2020, Israel and Sudan agreed to make peace and to normalize their relations in another landmark agreement brokered by President Trump.

In the coming weeks, the two countries will begin negotiations on cooperation agreements in agriculture, economy, trade, aviation, migration issues, and other areas of mutual benefit.

This historic peace agreement follows similar agreements between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Israel and the Kingdom of Bahrain.

TENNESSEE: Amy Coney Barrett was graduated magna cum laude Rhodes College in 1994. She received a Bachelor of Arts degree and was inducted into Omicron Delta Kappa sorority and was inducted into the Phi Beta Kappa honor society. In her graduating class, she was named most outstanding English department graduate

More than 1,500 alumni of Rhodes signed a “letter of concern” stating that they are “firmly and passionately opposed to Rhodes administrators’ attempts to embrace Amy Coney Barrett as an alumna of our beloved alma mater.”

Rhodes is a small, private institution in Tennessee with historical ties to the Presbyterian Church. The signees included alumni who graduated as far back as 1959.

TEXAS: Sweetwater – The Executive Director of a Sweetwater museum has resigned, three days after posting the above. Good riddance.

WALK AWAY: Today’s excerpt is a song written and performed by a couple to document their journey. CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=3298484236903572 [3:35]. This is worth watching, not just listening. Lyrics –

VS 1: You had me back then, oh sister suffragette
Trade happy lives for nine to fives and empty nests
How I was misled by those well intentioned souls
And starry-eyed, I joined the fight to wake up alone

CHORUS: Shoulder to shoulder, into the fray
Beautiful soldier, the price you paid
They speak of love, but all they love is hate
That’s why I’m walking away

VS 2: Cast off your shackles, yet still under lock and key
Once strong and proud, debased now on EBT
Gone are the gospels, families scattered all around
This victimhood’s the bait and hook, it’s the hand holding you down

CHORUS: (change “Beautiful soldier” to “Buffalo soldier”)

VS 3: They changed the meanings, stole the truth right from our minds
No questioning the doublethink, no wrong or right
Lost our direction, we are weapons in their war
Like Babylon, like Ancient Rome, forsaken we will fall

CHORUS.

FINAL CHORUS: Shoulder to shoulder, into the fray
History shows us the price we’ll pay
They speak of love, but all they love is hate
That’s why I’m walking away

WASHINGTON: The King County Library System in Washington State decided that the only way to end racism was by returning to the old “separate but equal” thing we abandoned decades ago because it was racist.

King County is named after Martin Luther King, Jr. ::smh::

More about Thursday’s Prez Debate

“Trump is an artist. He needs boundaries. Threatening to mute his microphone helped him and hurt Biden. It hurt Biden because interrupting (something he did a half dozen times in the first debate before Trump ever interrupted him) is the only debate tactic Biden has. Go back and watch his 2012 vice presidential debate with Paul Ryan. Trump doesn’t  need to interrupt to win a debate. He’s a gifted debater. The threat to mute the microphones took away Biden’s only go-to move and  forced Trump to win on substance and facts.” – John Nolte

“Last night, Trump was forced to defend his record, to explain it… And because he has a very good record as president, he was able to. Because Joe Biden has a terrible record, he was forced to lie… To tell 11 bald-faced whoppers, and here they are… All of Biden’s quotes below come directly from last night’s debate.” – John Nolte

LIE # ONE: No one lost their insurance under ObamaCare.

LIE # TWO: America was cozy with Hitler.

LIE # THREE: I never opposed fracking.

LIE # FOUR: I didn’t oppose Trump’s China travel ban.

LIE # FIVE: Illegal aliens show up for asylum hearings after being caught and released.

LIE # SIX: Raising the minimum wage does not hurt anyone.

LIE # SEVEN: No one brought up Biden’s troubling Ukraine conflicts of interest during impeachment.

LIE # EIGHT: Trump never told Putin to stop meddling in American elections.

LIE # NINE: Hunter’s emails are part of a Russia plan.

LIE # TEN: Trump refused to take responsibility for the coronavirus.

LIE # ELEVEN: Trump has alienated all our allies.

Coyotes

CLICK https://www.facebook.com/aklavan/videos/425493025105138 [2:30] to hear Trump tell the truth followed by Biden totally lying.

The kids who haven’t been reunited with family did NOT come to the border with family.

It has been known for many, many years that loose border controls re: family units led to coyotes kidnapping or buying children to help get single men, posing as their fathers, through the border.

Sometimes, the kids were returned to somewhere south of the border to be forced to make the arduous trip with strangers again and again. Sometimes, the kids were sold into labor or sex slavery. And sometimes they were just dumped somewhere … on a street, in a desert. Whatever. Cuz coyotes don’t care what happens to their victims.

Separating the children from the adults became necessary to give Border Patrol time to ascertain if they were actually related to one another. Last I heard, the Border Patrol had begun using rapid DNA tests to make this process much faster and easier.

Trump’s use of the term “coyote” to refer to “a person who smuggles illegal immigrants into the United States, especially across the Mexican border” caused much confusion among brainiacs on the Left who cry loudly that Trump is a “f—ing moron.”

Like these two:

“How the hell does a coyote bring a whole human across the border?! Lord—–stop talking.”
“Imagine calling the immigrant parents that bring their parents to the United States for a better life ‘coyotes.’ The level of xenophobia is sickening.”

THURSDAY’S DEBATE: [1:34:24] – If you didn’t already watch it and want to, it’s here. CLICK https://twitter.com/Not_the_Bee/status/1319476145797156864 [:31] to hear the best moment of the night. Trump says to Biden, “I ran because of you.”

2020: [22:06] – A comparison of Trump’s and Biden’s policies.

2020: The difference could not be more stark … or more important.

ABORTION: Warning for sexually suggestive and sacrilegious content [4:40] – Leftism is a religion and abortion is its high sacrament. Full disclosure: I only got through 15 seconds of this.

The second link goes to something else awful.

BOBULINSKI: Former Biden insider, Tony Bobulinski, has agreed to provide documents to the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

CLICK https://rumble.com/vat6sh-breaking-hunter-biden-whistleblower-speaks.html?mref=22lbp&mc=56yab to hear Bobulinski’s statement on Rumble.

He says they will show that then-VP Joe Biden was the “big guy” who was supposed to get 10% of the profits in a multi-million dollar deal Hunter was cooking up with a Chinese firm.

BORDER: Joe Biden wants open borders. But … since 2016, the DOJ has prosecuted 749 members of the notorious gang known as MS-13. Of these, only 8% were citizens with another 3% who were here legally. Eighty-nine percent were either here illegally or their status was unknown.

The criminal cases included racketeering, murder in aid of racketeering, narco-terrorism conspiracy, human trafficking, illegal alien in possession of a firearm, and illegal reentry following deportation.

COLORADO: Two Colorado churches and their pastors are currently protected from the state’s enforcement of capacity limits and face masks during worship services thanks to an order handed down by a federal judge on October 15, 2020.

This decision came following a lawsuit against federal and state officials for an array of religious freedom violations. Thomas More Society represented the congregations and their pastors in the law suit addressing violations of the right to free exercise of religion resulting from Governor Jared Polis’ COVID-19 related Executive Orders.

COVID-19: The Conscience and Religious Freedom Division of the Office for Civil Rights (OCR), a division of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has intervened on behalf of COVID-positive patients who have been denied non-medical visitors, including birthing partners and clergy.

FBI: Fox News has obtained copies of the receipt the FBI gave Isaac (the computer repairman) when he turned Hunter Biden’s laptop over to them, as well as of the Dec. 9, 2019 subpoena the FBI sent to Isaac calling him to appear to testify before U.S. District Court in Delaware.

The FBI doesn’t open a case file or issue subpoenas unless they have evidence of criminal activity. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude from the above that the FBI has a money laundering case in the works involving Joe Biden’s son, Hunter.

The FBI has declined to confirm or deny the existence of such an investigation, but that is standard practice.

HUNTER: Child porn – Trump’s lawyer and former Mayor of New York City, Rudy Giuliani, and former NYPD Commissioner, Bernie Kerik, say they gave the New Castle, Delaware, police a bunch of printed photos and a copy of Hunter Biden’s hard drive from which they were downloaded.

Giuliani and Kerik say the images show that Hunter was engaged for years in potentially criminal sexual behavior involving children and minor teens. They also allege that Biden family members knew about it.

The New Castle County Police Department says they alerted the state attorney general and that they had jointly decided to refer the claims and the copy of the hard drive to the FBI instead of investigating it itself.

The FBI said on Wednesday: “We have no comment, in keeping with our standard practice of neither confirming nor denying the existence of an investigation.”

HUNTER: Two more items – One, Hunter Biden’s business conglomerate didn’t just benefit from foreign investments and fees. It also scored tens of millions of dollars in taxpayer-backed subsidies and loans.

Two, according to the Epoch Times, certain dates and locations mentioned in emails on Hunter’s laptop match Secret Service logs, further confirming the laptop’s contents are genuine.

LATE NIGHT BIAS: During September, Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon made 455 jokes at Trump’s expense and another 64 jokes about Trump’s family or administration. They mocked Joe Biden only 14 times.

MASSACHUSETTS: Boston – Most Catholic schools in Boston are open for live instruction, compared with only 4% of public-school districts. This has led to an increase in Catholic school enrollment of 4,484 students. Back in July, the Catholic school system had predicted a reduction of 5,700 students.

“Our Spring of Despair — caused by an historic enrollment drop due to the pandemic — has turned into an Autumn of Hope,” said Thomas Carroll, superintendent of schools for the Archdiocese of Boston

NEW YORK: After a federal judge ordered New York’s Democratic governor to explain in court his shutdown of Jewish schools, Gov. Andrew Cuomo backed down and agreed to allow the schools to open.

There is no reason schools should not be open everywhere. Not only are COVID-19 cases rare in schools and in children, but also a recent study by the American Association for the Advancement of Science found “children have a low risk of COVID-19 and are disproportionately harmed by precautions.”

In addition, Cuomo’s order absolutely reeked of anti-Semitism. The eight ZIP codes covered by the order corresponded with predominantly Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods. BUT, the order did not apply to six ZIP codes that had comparable or higher positivity rates and positive tests, but did not have predominantly Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods.

OBAMACARE: Politifact rated Obama’s repeated promise, “If you like your plan, you can keep your plan,” the 2013 Lie of the Year.

But during Thursday night’s debate, Joe Biden repeated it, stating categorically that “nobody” lost their health insurance plans when Obamacare was fully implemented.

A RAND Corporation study found that approximately 5.9 million “nobodies” lost their insurance plans as a direct result of Obamacare’s rules and regulations.

OREGON: A small Christian school in Oregon is suing Democratic Oregon Gov. Kate Brown and other Oregon officials for discriminating against private and religious schools. Oregon public schools have been allowed to reopen; private and religious schools are still locked down

The Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) is representing Hermiston Christian School, a K-12 school in Hermiston, Oregon, which has a student body of 51. The lawsuit reads in part: “After 41 years of faithful service, Hermiston Christian School (‘HCS’)

The lawsuit alleges that Brown reversed course because she feared declining public school enrollment.

Francesco

A documentary film called Francesco is causing consternation in Catholic circles because it shows Pope Francis making several controversial statements. Among them,

“Homosexuals have a right to be a part of the family. They’re children of God and have a right to a family. Nobody should be thrown out, or be made miserable because of it. What we have to create is a civil union law. That way they are legally covered. I stood up for that.”

Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò says, “One does not have to be a theologian or a moral expert to know that such statements are totally heterodox and constitute a very serious cause of scandal for the faithful. … As Catholics, we are called to side with those who defend life, the natural family, and national sovereignty. We thought that we had the Vicar of Christ at our side. We painfully acknowledge that, in this epochal clash, he who ought to be guiding the Barque of Peter has chosen to side with the Enemy, in order to sink it.”

Bishop Tobin of Providence, Rhode Island says, “The Holy Father’s apparent support for the recognition of civil unions for same-sex couples needs to be clarified. The Pope’s statement clearly contradicts what has been the long-standing teaching of the Church about same-sex unions. The Church cannot support the acceptance of objectively immoral relationships. Individuals with same-sex attraction are beloved children of God and must have their personal human rights and civil rights recognized and protected by law. However, the legalization of their civil unions, which seek to simulate holy matrimony, is not admissible.”

Cardinal Müller says “Catholics are irritated” and the “enemies of the Church feel confirmed by the Vicar of Our Lord Jesus Christ.” He reminds us that when there is a conflict between the words of a Pope and the Words of God, one has to choose God.

Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke says that “such declarations generate great bewilderment and cause confusion and error among Catholic faithful, inasmuch as they are contrary to the teaching of Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition, and of the recent Magisterium by which the Church guards, protects and interprets the whole deposit of faith contained in Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition.”

Bishop Marian Eleganti, of Chur, Switzerland, says, “the papal interviews have become inflationary. … They give us personal views that are neither indisputable nor infallible.”
