2020: A YUGE October Surprise hit the fan via the New York Post which published PROOF that Hunter Biden introduced his father, who was then Vice-President, to a high ranking official at Burisma, a Ukrainian energy firm that was paying Hunter $50K a month for a no-show job.

Less than a year later, Joe Biden (Obama’s point man for Ukraine) demanded that the President of Ukraine fire a prosecutor that was looking into Burisma.

Joe Biden and his campaign are not denying the facts revealed in the story.

2020: Joe Biden and his fellow lying Democrats keep harping on how bad the economy is and how it is all Donald Trump’s fault. But a comparison of the post-COVID economies of Republican vs. Democrat states shows a clear picture of why everyone should vote Republican.

The combined unemployment rate of red states (those voting Republican for president in all four of the last four elections) is 6.6%.

The combined unemployment rate of blue states (those that voted Democrat in all of the last four for presidential elections) is 10.5%.

ACB: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/RickSarmiento64/videos/10220120584746604 [:22] to see Barrett show the non-existent notes she’s been using to answer questions hour after hour.

“They came, they questioned and they got nothing. It’s almost enough to make you feel sorry for Democrats. Almost. … While Barrett was generally engaging and pleasant, she was almost robotic in responding to even clever attempts to get her to hint how she might rule on specific cases or issues. Repeating a famous line that Ginsburg used at her confirmation in 1993, Barrett repeated: ‘No hints, no previews, no forecasts.’” – Michael Goodwin

CATHOLIC VOTERS: Father Altman says, “Joe Biden is NOT a faithful Catholic” [:59] – “Joe Biden wants you to believe that he is a faithful Catholic. Faithful Catholics do not support expanding the ‘right’ to murder millions of unborn babies. Faithful Catholics do not personally celebrate same sex weddings. Faithful Catholics do not vow to force nuns to provide contraception and abortifacients in insurance plans. And faithful Catholics do not remain silent while anarchists desecrate Catholic churches and statutes.”

LIBERALS ERASING HISTORY: The First White Settlers monument has been in Dewitt Park, Ithaca, NY, since the 1930s. The socialist flakes on the Ithaca Common Council voted last week to move it … somewhere. The History Center in Tompkins County has it for now.

I guess having it near the actual location of the first cabins built by the Revolutionary War soldiers who settled Ithaca offends somebody somewhere. Thank you, God, that my allergies forced us to move out of my old home town.

MERRIAM-WEBSTER: Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett got slammed by a speech policing Democrat for using the term “sexual preference” during her Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. Within hours, Merriam-Webster officially deemed the phrase “offensive.” Sheesh.

MELANIA’S JUDAS: On Tuesday, the Justice Department the back-stabbing, book-writing former friend of the first lady. The suits says that Stephanie Winston Wolkoff violated a nondisclosure agreement and thus should fork over all of her book’s profits to a government trust. The DOJ spokesperson said the NDA contract was with the United States and is therefore enforceable by the United States.

NYT BOOK REVIEW: The Tragedy of Heterosexuality – “In examining the pressure to partner with the opposite gender we find the extortions of capitalism, the misogyny of violence against women, the racist and xenophobic erasure of nonwhite families, and the homophobic hatreds that pervade so much of everyday life.”

PELOSI: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=684631655797474 [8:05] to hear San Fran Nan tee off at CNN’s Wolf Blitzer for being unacceptably biased, because he asked her a question she didn’t want to answer. She badgers, belittles and accuses him of being disrespectful and too ignorant to do his job. Wow.

On another topic, does anyone here with medical experience know what is the deal with her constant grinning? She’s listening to and talking about very serious stuff, but her clown face just goes on and on. Was her last face lift done too tightly?

SOCIAL MEDIA MALPRACTICE: Facebook and Twitter blocked anyone from posting/tweeting about the New York Post story about Hunter Biden’s emails. There’s a LOT of stink on the internet about the blocking.

CLICK https://www.facebook.com/TuckerCarlsonTonight/videos/781763299274852 OR https://twitter.com/SteveGuest/status/1316535508319772672 [11:01] to hear Tucker talk about the story itself and about the social media’s efforts to stifle American voters from seeing it. I watched these about 3 hrs after they were posted, but can’t guarantee they’ll still be available when you click.

Sen. Hawley, who is known for his crusade against big tech censorship, asked Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey about the blocking. He was NOT impressed with Dorsey’s mealy-mouthed reply.

“@Twitter @jack this is not nearly good enough. In fact, it’s a joke. It’s downright insulting. I will ask you – and @Facebook – to give an explanation UNDER OATH to the Senate subcommittee I chair. These are potential violations of election law, and that’s a crime.”

I posted the NY Post link on my Facebook Timeline 24 hours ago to see what would happen. It is still there, so woohoo Tucker!

ACB: Democratic lawmakers hammered Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett for saying “sexual preference.” According to them, in today’s enlightened society, the term is offensive and out-dated. Which I’m so sure explains why Joe Biden used it in May.

CALIFORNIA: The Lakers won the NBA finals and then there was a riot. ::smh::

CATHOLIC VOTERS: “It’s time for Catholics to stand up and say ‘Enough is enough.” [26:50] – I only ever heard a single homily on political topics (abortion). And I have never heard applause from a Catholic congregation at the close of any homily ever. This election has changed that … bigly.

“If then my people, upon whom my name has been pronounced, humble themselves and pray, and seek my face and turn from their evil ways, I will hear them from heaven and pardon their sins and heal their land.” – 2 Chronicles 7:14 (NABRE)

CLINTON FOUNDATION: This is a big deal – Two financial forensic investigators filed a complaint with the IRS alleging the Clinton Foundation violated tax laws governing tax-exempt charities. Their suit alleges that the Clinton Foundation “began acting as an agent of foreign governments early in its life and throughout its existence.

“As such, the foundation should’ve registered under FARA (Foreign Agents Registration Act). Ultimately, the Foundation and its auditors conceded in formal submissions that it did operate as a (foreign) agent, therefore the foundation is not entitled to its 501c3 tax-exempt privileges as outlined in IRS 170 (c)2.“

A federal judge has just ruled that the IRS “abused its discretion” in trying to blow off the charges. He is allowing the case to proceed.

COURT PACKING: Senate Judiciary Committee member Sen. Chris Coons said on Sunday that the Senate moving to confirm President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett “constitutes court-packing.”

Sorry, Chris, but NO.

The term “court packing” has always referred to any attempt by a political party to ADD seats to the traditional 9 on the Supreme Court, so as to sway the partisan balance.

The only party to seriously attempt it was the Democratic Party under President Franklin D Roosevelt. In 1937, FDR backed the Judicial Procedures Reform Bill of 1937, which has frequently been called the “court-packing plan.”

If passed, the bill would have allowed a Democratic president to add up to six new justices to the U.S. Supreme Court in order to obtain favorable rulings regarding his New Deal legislation which the existing Supreme Court had ruled unconstitutional.

Fortunately, it failed … in large part because of his fellow Democrats who thought it was a terrible idea.

OREGON: Portland – The “indigenous” arm of Antifa “celebrated” their Indigenous Peoples Day of Rage with yet more violence. What a surprise. Not.

They pulled down statues of Presidents Teddy Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln, while shouting, “F— all you colonizers!…Everyone of you that’s against Black Lives Matter can f— the f— off.”

Inexplicably, they smashed up the Oregon Historical Society building and damaged displays that Native leaders from Portland said accurately depicted Native American history.

They also stole, damaged, and dumped a Bicentennial Commemorative Quilt that was made by 15 local Black women to celebrate their history.

They also attacked the Portland State University police office while rioters cheered.

QUORUM: Senators need a quorum (minimum number of senators) to call a vote. For the full Senate, a quorum is 51 senators. For the Judiciary Committee, a quorum is nine members including two in the minority Democratic party. Senator Schumer says his party members will not supply a quorum for any vote to confirm ACB to the Supreme Court.

SPYGATE: Just the News has obtained and published yet another document showing the FBI knew in 2016 that there was no there there in the Trump-Russia collusion case.

SWEDEN: Pro-lockdown voices are super annoyed that Sweden, which didn’t lock down, has done so well. They trot out three main arguments.

First, they say, “You can’t compare us to Sweden. It has a low population density.”

Not really. Eighty-five percent of the population occupies 2% of their surface area. Most of them live in towns and cities — 85% of the population occupies 2% of its surface area.

Second, they argue that “Sweden hasn’t succeeded; it has had more deaths per capita than neighboring countries.”

It is true that Sweden has had more coronavirus fatalities than other Nordic states. But the lockdown was supposedly meant only to buy time while medical facilities ramped up to cope with the sick. As the other Nordic states come out of lockdown, their infection rates rising. Meanwhile, Sweden’s is very low, because they aimed for a fast and dirty route to herd immunity.

Third, the claim that “Sweden has taken an economic hit as well — the worst of both worlds.”

Nonsense. Sweden got off more lightly than most. Sweden’s 2020 GDP is expected to see a 3.3% contraction. Compare this to the U.S. (4.3%), U.K. (5.8%), and Eurozone (8.3%).

TEXAS: Carrollton – Democratic mayoral candidate Zul Mohamed has been arrested and charged with 84 counts of mail application ballot fraud and 25 counts of unlawful possession of an official mail in ballot.

At the time of arrest, Mohamed was busy stuffing envelopes with more forged ballot applications. If convicted on all counts, he faces up to 20 years in prison.

WASHINGTON, D.C.: Religious freedom – A District Court judge has ruled that Washington, D.C.’s pandemic reopening restrictions do “substantially burden the church’s exercise of religion” and that “the District has failed to offer evidence at this stage showing that it has a compelling interest in preventing the church from meeting outdoors with appropriate precautions, or that this prohibition is the least-restrictive means to achieve its interest.”

D.C. has had only nine COVID-19 deaths in the month of October and regularly has a positive test rate of under 2%. Yet the Democrat anti-God thugs running the city capped outdoor religious gatherings to 100 people, but permitted larger gatherings for other purposes. For example, the city denied a church a permit to use the R.F.K. Stadium’s parking lot for worship while giving a pop-up drive-in movie theater a permit to use the same location.

WIKIPEDIA: I was looking for some dates for Joe Biden. I know Wikipedia is left-biased, but they’re usually okay with basic facts. So I put “Joe Biden” in my search engine and got the usual Wikipedia thing in the upper right corner. I accidentally clicked on the link right below his name, which took me to his campaign page, with a big “give me money” banner. That startled me, so I tried “Donald Trump.” No link.

VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!

According to Real Clear Politics’ compiled polls, Biden is 10 points ahead of Trump. But Zogby (which isn’t tracked by RCP) says that Biden is only 2 points ahead of Trump.

And John McLaughlin, of McLaughlin & Associates, posits that the RCP polls are being skewed on purpose by the anti-Trump Left in hopes they will discourage Trump voters enough to keep them home on election day.

To that I say … don’t you ever, Ever, EVER not vote! People suffered and died to earn and keep our right to vote. IMO, not voting is tantamount to spitting on their graves.

The situation is nowhere near as dire as the Leftist Losers would like us to believe. I mean … if they’re so confident, why do they keep stealing Trump signs?!

A Sept. 14-28 Gallup poll of more than 1,000 Americans asked “Are you better off now than you were four years ago?”

YES 56% vs. 32% NO.

The last time an incumbent lost re-election, fewer than 40% had said YES to that question. Trump’s number is 9 points higher than Dubya’s was, 11 points higher than Obama’s was, and 12 points higher than Reagan’s was.

On Monday, Biden was asked about the “Are you better off” poll. First, he said that the people who think they’re better off have bad memories. THEN, he said that whatever people believe, “they should go out and vote. People should vote. Period.”

Hey, works for me!

Also, the polls that just give overall numbers ignore the very important fact that presidents are not elected by popular vote. They are elected by electoral vote.

You may recall that Hillary won the popular vote by 2.9 million. But the excess all happened in heavily Democrat states. On the electoral vote … the one that mattered … Trump clobbered her.

History is also on Trump’s side. David Chapman at PollWatch did some interesting historical analyses, all of which show the likelihood of Biden losing and Trump winning.

For example, no one who served 15 or more years in the Senate has ever become president. Joe Biden has served 36 years.

Biden also fails the 14 year rule. No one has won the White House more than 14 years after his first gubernatorial or Senate victory. Biden was first elected to the Senate in 1973 … 47 years ago.

No incumbent who has received at least 75% of the primary vote has lost re-election. Donald Trump received 94% of the primary vote, which is the 4th highest all-time. Higher than Eisenhower, Nixon, Clinton, and Obama, all of whom won re-election.

Eleven times in the past, Americans have faced a pandemic during an election year. In all eleven, the incumbent party won. Three times in the past, Americans have faced a pandemic, a recession, and civil unrest during an election year. In all three, the incumbent party won.

On Monday, Trump had more supporters at Biden’s rally than Biden did! Trumpers stand in line for hours, sometimes even camping out overnight, to get into one of his rallies. Biden can’t get people to click a button to hear him speak.

Enthusiasm matters. Since 1988, every candidate who has held the edge in voter enthusiasm has won the election. Pew gives Trump a 20 point advantage in strength of support.

Dearest and I live in a blue county in a blue state. For years, the election signage in our little development has been 1 GOP (us) to 4 Dem. But right now, there are 4 GOP signs (one of which is 4 times the size of the printed placards and made out of wood) vs. the usual 4 Dems (one of which is hand-written).

Since 2004, the candidate that led in google searches has won the election. Trump leads Biden in google searches by a ratio of 3 to 1.

And finally, polls that ask “Who do you plan to vote for?”, show Biden ahead. But all of them that also ask, “Who do you think will win?”, show Trump ahead. Historically, voter expectation poll results have been more accurate at predicting election outcomes than voter intention polls.

So my fellow TRUMPERS … VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! And do it IN PERSON! Or, if (like me) you can’t to the polls, have your absentee ballot hand-delivered to the election office by someone you trust.

We CANNOT turn this country over to the LEFT!

2020: CINO Joe violates Catholic teaching – “2359 Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection.

“2360 Sexuality is ordered to the conjugal love of man and woman. In marriage the physical intimacy of the spouses becomes a sign and pledge of spiritual communion. Marriage bonds between baptized persons are sanctified by the sacrament.”

There is a good deal more in Catholic teaching about these issues, but these are the two “money” lines.

2020: Dementia Joe – He’s getting worse. Over the week-end, Joe Biden …

  1. Forgot Mitt Romney’s name (called him “that senator who was a Mormon, the governor”);
  2. Declared (again) that he is running for the Senate;
  3. Said, “You’re trying your breast, but it never feels like enough”;
  4. Directed voters to a website that does not exist;
  5. Misreads his teleprompter twice, first calling for a $15 million minimum wage, then a $15,000 minimum wage, before finally getting it right;
  6. Removed his mask so he could cough into his hand;
  7. And got confused about which way to go to get off the small stage he was on.

ACB: “Newest Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett is almost the polar opposite of the ‘Sex and the City’ chimera of female empowerment: a serious Christian who eschews hookup culture and has seven kids. Half of her resume consists of behavior the leftists who control feminism constantly attack as anti-woman: big-time motherhood and big-time religion.

“Fertile women who are serious about prayer get derided as brainless sex slaves, with the ‘Handmaid’s Tale’ imagery that gets deployed against any skepticism of abortion. Of course, this is a steaming pile of horse hockey, and Barrett proves it. She is obviously not a browbeaten, barefoot and pregnant caricature of a conservative woman. Those kind of women are not professors at Notre Dame Law School, or Supreme Court clerks, or federal court judges.

“Barrett has done exactly what the left’s anti-woman feminist narrative says is impossible — obtaining a high-octane education while maintaining religious devotion, marrying in her 20s and choosing both a big family and a big career. To really rub salt in that eyeball, her big career has consisted of kicking butt and taking names in a field the left believes is their own and is central to power.” – Joy Pullman, The Federalist, Sept 28, 2020

ASIANS FOR TRUMP: Mainstream media and Twitter activists do not understand why many, many Asians love The Donald, who routinely attacks the ChiComs. Seriously? They don’t understand why people who FLED the ChiComs are cheering the president who sticks up for their beliefs? Wow.

BLACK VOTE: Democrats must win this demographic in Detroit, Milwaukee, and Cleveland if they want to win statewide in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Ohio. But party leaders say there is disturbingly little visible enthusiasm for the Biden/Harris ticket.

COLORADO: Denver – Previous reports have said that Matthew Dolloff, the guy who shot and killed Lee Keltner at a pro-Trump rally, was employed by Pinkerton who hired him out to “9News”, the NBC affiliate station in Denver, to be security for their news crew at the protest.

New information shows Dolloff was not licensed to work as a security guard, much less an armed one, in the city of Denver. And Pinkerton says he isn’t one of theirs.

COVID: Shut downs don’t work.

MOVIE RECOMMENDATION: Dearest stayed awake for the whole 2.5 hours, which should tell you all you need to know about this flick. In short, it’s worth watching. It’s got enough interpersonal drama for the gals and enough vroom-vroom and car crashes for the guys.

As for kids … I doubt the ones young enough to be bothered by the few scenes of auto mayhem (one has a driver on fire) would engage with the movie in the first place, but use your judgment.

WALK AWAY: Today’s excerpt – While I was out walking, a neighbor stopped me to talk about the upcoming election. I know she is a staunch Democrat, but she said how nervous she was about the election. So we talked. I said I know the fear people have about Trump … his brashness blah blah blah … but I also know his love for America. He keeps proving that. I also know that America needs to stay conservative for our grandchildren. She admitted that she is now voting republican. Neither one of us wants Kamala or Pelosi in charge. At all. This is not the path America was built on.

CLICK https://www.facebook.com/marybrocar.carrera/videos/10218502246416485 [3:53] for an inspiring video honoring the greatest president in modern times.

2020: On October 2, President Trump tested positive for COVID-19, whereupon CNN dolefully reported that his age, gender, and weight put him in a high risk category for hospitalization and death.

On October 5, he returned to the White House, having met or exceeded all hospital discharge criteria. His message to Americans was, “Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life.”

On October 10, the White House physician announced that President Trump has met the CDC criteria for returning to an active schedule. He poses no risk of transmitting COVID-19 to others.

As per usual, everything about this enraged the Left. They are awful people who want nothing more than for Donald J. Trump to die slowly and in agony.

2020: CLICK https://twitter.com/thejcoop/status/1314929793524215808 [:45] to hear Biden say voters do not deserve to know if he would pack the Supreme Court. Wait, wut? We “don’t deserve” to know Biden’s position on an issue his own party is pushing?

He also lies about Trump’s nominating a replacement during an election year. “First time it’s ever been done” … except for the fourteen other times it has happened.

2020: [1:49:41] – On Friday, President Trump held a virtual rally via Rush Limbaugh’s radio show. According to reports, FIFTY MILLION people tuned in. Sixty-three million voted for him in 2016.

ARIZONA: Battleground state – CLICK https://twitter.com/InfidelAngela/status/1315359365893967874 [1:48] to see a news report about the Biden/Harris rally. Seriously … click!

The Trafalgar Group just released its survey of 1,087 Arizona voters who were polled October 6-8, 2020. Trump 47.8% vs. Biden 43.7% vs. Joe Jorgenson 2.2% vs. Undecided 4.6%. Trump’s four-point lead is outside the survey’s +/- 2.89 MOE.

Given the turn-out at the Biden/Harris rally, I won’t hold my breath waiting on them to surge in Arizona.

CALIFORNIA: Santa Monica – A good citizen reported finding bundles of undelivered mail in two different waste containers. Both contained blank ballots. The man was told it was probably “an inside job” (a postal worker?), because the bundles also contained bank statements, which presumably a thief would have wanted to keep.

CATS: Scientists in the UK discovered that cats who were greeted with “cat eye narrowing movements” – more commonly known as slow blinking – were more likely to return a similar expression and approach their owners or even strangers than when given no interaction or a neutral glance.

COLORADO: Denver – On Saturday, a pro-Trump rally sponsored by Patriot Muster triggered a counter-protest by the Denver Communists. One guy maced another guy who shot him dead.

The shooter, Matthew Dolloff, was immediately taken into custody as one extremist shouted, “One less white f-cking supremacist! F-ck yeah! Right in the f-cking dome! F-ck yeah.”

Police say Dolloff was a Pinkerton security guard who had been hired by NBC to protect their reporters. His social media accounts show he was looking for trouble, which does not bode well for Pinkerton’s.

Dolloff has ten years of posts about his support for Bernie Sanders and BLM, his hatred for Trump and police, and his participation in Occupy protests in Denver.

E.g., one of his posts from 2016 says, “Ran into a Trump supporter with a Trump Button on their shirt. Told them i like their im a racist button. They had nothing to say. #F-ckTrump.”

His victim, Lee Keltman, was a veteran who had been making custom hats since 1994. “It’s an art, like painting, and I just kept doing it. I’m lucky that I’ve been able to make a living out of it for 21 years now.”

COVID-19: Worth watching [1:23] – The World Health Organization’s special envoy on COVID-19 has urged world leaders to stop using lockdowns as the primary control method against the spread of the virus. “Lockdowns just have one consequence that we must never never belittle and that is making poor people an awful lot poorer.”

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio says he wants to lock down nine coronavirus hot spots in New York City and impose more limited restrictions in another 10 neighborhoods.

DOG: Motorworks Brewing helps out a local dog shelter by featuring dogs needing a new home on their beer cans. One of those pooches was spotted by his original owner on a social media post. The dog had gone missing while she and the owner were in Iowa. The shelter was in Florida, 600 miles away. Meanwhile, the owner had moved to Minnesota. But thanks to a can of beer, the pooch was reunited with her fur mommy … after being missing for three years!

A pizzeria in New York is also having success finding homes for the dogs at their local shelter by featuring their photos on their boxes. Anybody adopts a dog after seeing it on a pizza box receives not just a forever friend, but also a $50 gift certificate to the pizzeria.

FBI: In 2019, 364 Americans were killed with rifles, 600 Americans were killed by bodily attacks (e.g., punches, kicks, pushes), and 1,476 Americans were killed by knives.

FLORIDA: Miami – Twenty to thirty thousand Cubans, Venezuelans and other conservative Latinos convened in Miami to attend the ‘Anti-Communist Caravan for Freedom and Democracy’ event.

Several people sported huge blowups of Trump’s face, waving signs that slammed the supposed increase of communist ideology in the country.

EDUCATION: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=783206152532981 [3:12] to hear about a middle school kid who was thrown out of her virtual classroom for having a Trump flag in her bedroom.

MAINE: When a kindergartner wandered away from school during recess, K9 police dog, Dutch, and his handler, Trooper Zachary Fancy, were called in. Dutch was able to pick up a scent from a jacket left behind by the missing child, and he led Trooper Fancy into the woods where they found the girl, shoeless and crying, but otherwise unharmed.

MASSACHUSETTS: I sincerely hope this wasn’t a Trump supporter – A Biden fan built an enormous VOTE JOE BIDEN sign out of 19 bales of hay. Some jerk doused it with gasoline and set it ablaze. The jerk is in custody.

MEDIA MALPRACTICE: There’s no bias in the MSM. Just ask them.

NEW YORK: Staten Island GOP punks the punks – Some troll encouraged his friends to register online for tickets to a Trump rally they had no intention of using. It went viral, racking up 523,000 views and 153,000 likes.

“We had about 1,500 RSVPs from Staten Islanders. Then all of a sudden we started seeing the numbers tick up to 10,000, 15,000, 75,000,” Staten Island GOP chairman Brendan Lantry told The Post. “We knew something was not right.”

When they tracked down the prank, they added a nonrefundable $5 fee to the online sign-up form. The goof registrations kept on coming, netting Staten Island Republicans $15,785 in donations for “seats” they had no intention of using.

The open-air rally did not in fact provide seating, so it didn’t much matter that 2,500 people showed up rather than the 5,500 who had registered.

They prayed for President Trump’s recovery (photo above) and filmed a giant get well greeting which is posted @ https://twitter.com/NMalliotakis/status/1312457383445110784 [:49].

OHIO: Officials in Ohio said that 49,669 voters in Franklin County received incorrect absentee ballots in the mail. Replacement ballots will be mailed to them. They claim that stringent measures are in place to ensure that each voter casts only one ballot. Hmm … would the “stringency” be similar to that in place to ensure that voter got the right ballots in the first place?

OLBERMANN: This screed reads more like a terrorist’s manifesto than a newsman’s commentary – “Trump can be and must be expunged. The hate he has triggered, the Pandora’s Box he has opened, they will not be so easily destroyed. So, let us brace ourselves. The task is two-fold. The terrorist Trump must be defeated, must be destroyed, must be devoured at the ballot box. And then he and his enablers and his supporters and his collaborators and the Mike Lees and the William Barrs and the Sean Hannitys and the Mike Pences and the Rudy Giulianis and the Kyle Rittenhouses and the Amy Coney Barretts must be prosecuted and convicted and removed from our society while we try to rebuild it, and to rebuild the world Trump has nearly destroyed by turning it over to a virus.

“Remember it. Even as we dream of a return to reality and safety and the country for which our forefathers died, that the fight is not just to win an election, but to win it by enough to chase, at least for a moment, Trump and the ‘MAGATS’ off the stage. And then try to clean up what they left. Remember it. Even though to remember it, means remembering that the fight does not end November 3rd, but in many ways will only begin that day.”

OREGON: Portland – These People of Pallor were arrested for blocking traffic on a major thoroughfare. Police said their posture, attire, and armor suggested they were headed toward yet another night of setting fires and assaulting LEOs.

They were also, you know, playing in traffic … at night … while wearing all black, so the cops thought maybe it would be best to get the idiots off the streets. But since it’s Portland, I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for the George Soros DA to prosecute any of them.

PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE COMMISSION: In the tank for Biden – Roger L. Simon writes at the Epoch Times that the current commission is so utterly biased that it should resign immediately.

The commission is supposed to be bipartisan. But the Republicans are Never Trumpers. The current chairman, Frank Fahrenkopf, is also both a co-founder and a current board member of the International Republican Institute (IRI), which is closely linked to the thoroughly discredited Steele Dossier.

RUSSIA: Putin endorsed Joe Biden for U.S. president, because he and the Democratic Party share so many of the same communist values he holds dear.

SWAMP: Best Argument Ever – CLICK https://www.facebook.com/shelley.coffelt/videos/10222782459207886 [6:11] to hear a fabulous and fast resume of Donald J. Trump. These are all the reasons why we support him.

UTAH: West Jordan – CLICK https://twitter.com/CassandraRules/status/1315083648677425153 [:53] to see a 15-year-old student being bullied and spit on by a couple of vicious girls for wearing a Trump hat and patriotic face mask to school.

The boy’s mother said, “I am so incredibly proud of him for holding his ground and not giving into her and retaliating.” She believes one of the girls is going to be charged with a felony and the other with a misdemeanor.

WALK AWAY: Today’s excerpt – “It was January 2015, and the new terms of Obamacare hit the fan. My out-of-pocket maximum doubled, my premiums doubled, and the deductibles and co-pays doubled. I was not going to be able to afford even one doctor visit. I noticed that if you were rich or so much in poverty that your benefits were paid, you would be taken care of. I posted the comment, ‘Obamacare forgot something – the middle class.’ I was scourged by the Democrat pundits with things such as, ‘You’re just a Republican that is trolling us.’ My answer, ‘Nope, been Democrat for 23 years, but now I will say goodbye.’ I’m glad I did.”

2020: [:30] – Vote!

2020: Virtual debate – On Thursday, the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) announced they wanted to change the format of the second debate between President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden to a virtual town meeting in which the candidates would take part remotely.

Trump said, “I’m not going to waste my time at a virtual debate. They’re trying to protect Biden. Everybody is.”

On Friday, the commission responded by canceling the second debate altogether.

Trump’s 2020 campaign manager said they’d do a rally instead.

CALIFORNIA: Voter fraud – Two people who have both been dead for more than a decade received unsolicited ballots in California’s “screw the vote” scheme.

CHINA: The Chinese Communist Party is directly responsible for the coronavirus pandemic and now it appears they also have ties to the groups that planned most of the riots tearing through U.S. cities.

COUP COUP: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) announced they will introduce a bill to create a Commission on Presidential Capacity to Discharge the Powers and Duties of Office.

Pelosi, who hasn’t actually talked to Trump in months, claims his “disassociation from reality would be funny if it weren’t so deadly.”

DAN BONGINO: Prayers for his full recovery.

FLORIDA: On Sept. 25, Florida’s Republican Gov. DeSantis allowed Florida businesses to operate at full capacity again. He also announced there would be no enforcement of local mask mandates. There has been no spike in coronavirus cases.

JACKBOOTS: Libs are now floating the idea of forced economic lockdowns in the name of fighting CLIMATE CHANGE.

MICHIGAN: The FBI has foiled a plot to kidnap Gov. Whitmer, who immediately and publicly blamed it all on Trump’s alleged failure to condemn white supremacists (which has been debunked ad nauseum). When the names of the 13 who were arrested came out, folks found their anti-government social media rants in which they proudly denounce President Trump.

Example: “Trump is not your friend, dude. “It amazes me that people actually, like, believe that when he’s shown over and over and over again that he’s a tyrant. Every single person that works for government is your enemy, dude.”

NEW YORK: The insane Democrat no-bail and sanctuary-state experiments have cost the life of another New Yorker – A Guatemalan illegal who had been deported in 2007 and returned, was arrested in October 2019 for drunk driving. He was not turned over to ICE nor was he required to post bail. In November, he was again driving drunk, but this time he killed a New York father of three. He was arrested again, pleaded guilty, and faces 7 to 24 years in jail.

PULITZER: An impressive array of academics associated with the National Association of Scholars signed a letter to the Pulitzer Prize Board calling for it to revoke the prize it gave to the author of a New York Slime article about the 1619 Project.

These scholars denounced the 1619 Project for its many well-documented and fundamental historical inaccuracies, chief of which is that protecting the institution of slavery was NOT a primary motive for the American Revolution. The scholars also condemn the journalist and the Times itself for covering up such criticisms.

WISCONSIN: Wauwatosa – On Friday night, BLMers ignored a 7 p.m. city curfew and staged a protest. National Guard and local police declared it an “unlawful assembly” and ordered them to disperse. After an hour, they were still there. Police were hit with bottles; protesters were exposed to tear gas. Arrests ensued.

Fact Check

Analysis of this meme and a copy of the VP debate transcript are at the USA Today link below. The exact quotes in the graphic never happened. And, since the meme has those words in quotation marks, that is problematic.

HOWEVER, the sentiments expressed are absolutely accurate, as anyone who has watched the differences between GOP and Dem states’ responses to COVID-19 knows well.

Kamala’s blather about how the Trump administration kept us poor little citizens in the dark is absurd, as anyone who watched the Task Force Briefings also knows well.

One big thing struck me in those briefings. President Trump stayed on for long periods of time until every single reporter had asked every single question. Then he got criticized for staying too long and supposedly making it all about him.

But during those long Q&A sessions, almost all of the reporters seemed to have only one agenda, which was NOT to understand the information, so they could inform the public. It was to find something they could criticize Trump about when they did their reports.

I read a lot of Walk Away stories. Many of them are from formerly lifelong Democrats who got all their news from the MSM, believed it all, and HATED Trump. But they wanted info on the virus, so they watched the briefings and discovered that Trump is not a politician. Many say, “He talked like me.” They also learned that he’s very intelligent and funny.

After watching the briefings, these same people would watch their usual news source and not even recognize the reported event as the one they’d watched. Then, since they had lots of TIME on their hands with the quarantine, they’d deep dive into researching other issues and end up FURIOUS that they had been lied to their whole lives and ASHAMED that it took them so long to wise up.

Pandemic Update

On Friday, President Trump announced he is no longer taking any medication for coronavirus. That no doubt further aggravated Democrats already furious with The Donald for telling people not to let fear of the coronavirus rule their lives.

Democrats WANT us to be afraid. It makes us easier to control

Joe Biden has promised that, if elected president, he will implement nationwide mask mandates … because Donald Trump has supposedly done such a bad job of handling the outbreak.

California’s Democrat Gov. Newsom told everybody that, when eating in a restaurant, they should put their masks on in between bites.

And Washington’s Democrat Gov. Inslee likened masks to aircraft carriers in World War II.

But when Trump’s Secret Service agents drove him around the block while he and they were all wearing masks, the whack jobs on the Left shrieked about the unacceptable risk to the agents.

But Kamala Harris announced that, if President Trump recommended a coronavirus vaccine, she would not get it.

On October 5, the WHO announced that they estimate about ten percent of the world population has contracted COVID-19. That puts the total cases at roughly 780 million. With a global death toll of 1,061,539, the infection fatality rate is about 0.14%, which is comparable to the seasonal flu.

Over 40,000 people, including over 4,000 epidemiologists, doctors, and public health professionals from around the world, have signed the “Great Barrington Declaration” that urges nations to return to normal life.

“Those who are not vulnerable should immediately be allowed to resume life as normal. Simple hygiene measures, such as hand washing and staying home when sick should be practiced by everyone to reduce the herd immunity threshold. … People who are more at risk may participate if they wish, while society as a whole enjoys the protection conferred upon the vulnerable by those who have built up herd immunity.”

Two of the leading contenders in the race to produce a vaccine are using a never-tested, experimental technology that genetically alters your cells.

COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers have been granted total immunity from liability, so should anything go horribly wrong and you or a member of your family wind up seriously harmed or even killed, so sad too bad.

All of this for a disease that is no more deadly than the seasonal flu?

I. Don’t. Think. So.

2020: On Thursday, Biden again refused to reveal his stance on packing the Supreme Court. “You’ll know my opinion on court-packing when the election is over,” he said.

CALIFORNIA: Los Angeles – Yes, Virginia, there ARE Trump supporters in Hollywood! In the dark of night, activists put up this massive Hollywood-style “Trump” sign off the 405 freeway in Los Angeles. The letters are 20 feet tall and a whopping 70 feet long.

COVID-19: Democrats believe in the “magical germ mitigation” powers of masks so sincerely that they enthusiastically condemn, fine, and even arrest people who are not wearing one regardless of where they are or who they are with. (Unless it’s one of their who has removed theirs because they think the cameras are off.)

But, according to shrieking jerknalists like Mika “The Adulteress” Brzezinski, masks are USELESS when it comes to protecting the masked Secret Service agents who drove President Trump around the block to wave at his supporters. These are the same SS agents who were also separated from him in the car by plexiglass AND who put their lives on the line ever time they go to work to protect the president.

Mika also squealed about Trump “ignoring” the random, unnamed “scientists” for going home when his doctors said he was ready and claimed that his doctors’ refusal to release his personal test results were part of a cover up! Does being President of the United States mean the man has no HIPPAA rights? ::smh::

KAMALA: Kamala Harris says the American people deserve a “full accounting of the financial interests, including the indebtedness of the president of the United States.” She also claimed that his reported personal debt, running into the hundreds of millions of dollars and coming due in the next few years, was a national security issue.

Actually, his reported personal debt is a matter of public record. It is true that Trump owes over $400 million. It is also true that the debts is mostly mortgages and that the man is a billionaire who could pay it off tomorrow if he saw any financial reason to do so.

But you go ahead, Kamala, and bear false witness against the President, just like you did when you quoted the same old racist crap that’s been debunked a bajillion times. Maybe it’ll reassure a few of your uninformed voters that they’re not hateful morons for supporting the Biden-Harris ticket. Or is that the Harris-Biden ticket?

MEDIA MALPRACTICE: There’s no bias in the MSM. Just ask them.

WISCONSIN: Wauwatosa – After a black police officer was cleared for shooting a black teenager in January, BLM instigated another riot. I was thinking that destroying stores has nothing to do with promoting racial justice, but then I remembered, they’re Marxists. They hate privately owned businesses.
