Joe and Jill Biden headed to Kenosha to thank Trump for bringing in the National Guard.
I wonder if he will take any questions – and if not, will the press ask why not?
Day late and dollar short Slo Joe. The polls must have killed Joe after the Trump visit and Joe was nowhere to be found. This is damage control. IMO they will drop Joe after Democrats have sucked the last dollar out of China. The election will be won by enthusiasm and Joe provides zero.
Joe Biden, the sloth speed candidate.
Of course he’ll take questions – he’ll ‘take the question’ home with him to have a ‘conversation’ with the almost first, and almost black VP in waiting. He’ll have the telepromter tell you the answer in the morning. I think my time is up.
UUUUHHH…SLO Joe CAN’T read a teleprompter or the paper in front of him…
Im watching it. He is taking questions from reporters that his staff is picking, so Im sure they have given their questions ahead. So far, I dont see Peter Doocy from FNC, so if he isnt chosen we will know the fix was in.
Whatever is wrong with him is so bad that he can’t even pretend to take staged questions.
My concern is, hearing ol’ Joe on FOX, he is spouting the government control line/philosophy regarding the opening of schools and the children…smaller classes…score one for teacher’s unions…as opposed to the President who seems to be wanting to let the states and local schools make the appropriate decisions. I had to turn him off, could not stomach the upcoming staged questions….
“HI, I’m from the government and am here to help” (sarc/off)
I can’t wait to see Antifa waving their flags for him.
Speaking of “peaceful protests” – wouldn’t it be grand to have the streets lined with people protesting his arrival with brutal signs, loud chanting and screaming, etc… that the media cannot avoid?
So, good people in the Kenosha area should get back out there to protest the Democrap candidate. Big bad signs to show the world who is not supporting Joe Biden. Wear American flag regalia. That should stop his rolling basement caravan bull carp.
Great idea. Next Trump Train rolls through Portland, have fake Antifa infiltrate loaded down with Biden signs. Say they were emergency reinforcements sent to counter Trump. It would be a hoot.
Might be their plan to have him exit the race. Try to make it look like a Right Wing assault so he can claim victim.
I really would not put anything past them anymore.
How effective would the false flag be to have some images of Jill holding poor Joe’s head in her lap at the hands of some “white nationalist” we’ll never hear anything about after they discover “materials that can be excited by heat or energy”?
This comment is inappropriate.
I mean the FBI frame job on that guy in the van and the fake mail bombs was 2016. They have more stuff planned. FWIW.
On reflection, I kind of agree with you, my apologies.
That said, I still would not put anything past them at this point. We’re already there.
Thank God! Now the folks of Kenosha can rest easy B-B-B-Biden will save them.
Democrats will utilize illegal Vote Harvesting like they did in 2018 on a large scale….a must read and action required

Please do not dismiss this. It was the vehicle for getting Al Franken into the US Senate.
True
The MN Sec of State that allowed those votes to be counted was backed by the Soros funded “Secretaries of States” project. Franken became Senator #60 for ObamaCare.
Agree ChiBri
He had to wait for the president to make it safe for him to go there.
The nation is saved!
Joe will probably take credit for it. He plagiarizes everything else President Trump does.
Biden: “Well, folks, when the rioters heard I was coming and bringing my 6′ chain, you notice that the rioting stopped immediately. I made the situation safe for Trump’s visit.”
;o)

Wait… I probably shouldn’t give his teleprompter crew any ideas. My joke was so stupid on the face of it that they’d probably use it. The only thing dumber than that joke is the audience that would listen to him and believe it.
The Big COVID Con Exposed
“The new CDC statistics show that only 6,640 deaths are due to COVID alone, rather than the commonly reported 164,280 deaths allegedly associated with COVID. In other words, only 4 percent of media sensationalized deaths were due solely to COVID and not other underlying medical conditions…
Sensitivity of the PCR tests has to do with amplification of genetic material from the virus. The fewer cycles required, the higher the viral load and greater likelihood of being contagious. By setting the threshold of amplification cycles too high, the test is overly sensitive.
Imagine a home security alarm so sensitive that it is triggered by a wind gust or leaf hitting a window. The homeowner will certainly be alerted if an intruder is attempting to break in, but the alarm will be going off constantly with false, or in the case of the virus, non-clinically significant positives. Or as the NY Times put it,
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/09/the_big_covid_con_exposed.html
So out of 330 million people…0.00002%…Hey Fauci and Scarf lady…you’re 15 minutes are up.
Not until people stop wearing the masks. People on this site still wear them to please others. I guess I would say for anyone on here still wearing a mask, yet complaining about how the virus is BS. Or knows someone that wears a mask yet complains.
A stop complaining admit you’ve bent the knee.
Or
B Take the damn mask off.
You can’t have both in my opinion.This isn’t to be snide to anyone on here,whatsoever. It’s just my opinion on how I feel/see it. At this point people either feel safe or they don’t. I do
I have never worn a mask. When I go to a place requiring a mask and ask me about it. I just say, “I am not supposed to wear a mask”. So far they just say, “okay” and I walk on in.
I wear the mask when I am asked to. What people don’t realize is, the store owners can get huge fines from the state for not enforcing the mask law. I don’t want to put a store owner at risk. They’re already up against a horrible state regime.
My hairdresser said he is routinely visited by Covid Cops looking to make sure that he’s in compliance.
My hair stylist told me a $5,000 fine and a two year suspension of business license.
Could you imagine ? So unfair
I wear one to keep my job. I also wear one to get into any store that requires it (we live rurally). Mostly it’s the larger corporations. I immediately drop it under my chin when I get in. I HATE IT!!
I had to wear a mask to have an outside visit with my sister at her nursing home. I hadn’t seen her in 6 months. That was one of only a few times I had to give in. But at an event on private property a couple weeks ago, they had face shields for anyone who could not wear a mask for whatever reason. I bought one just to try it out.
It covered from the chin to the bridge of my nose. It felt odd but at first look, you would think I wasn’t wearing any face covering at all. Just to experiment, I tried wearing it several places just to see if they’d let me in. It got me in the door of every place I tried to including Walmart.
I am against any face covering mandates, but the shields let people see your whole face and I think it looks less scary to little kids. You can smile and it makes for a much more pleasant encounter.
So what do I hear today? Studies show clear face shields are not as effective as masks. Yeah, right. Just confirms my suspicions that they want masks so people are isolated even when out in public, so they are constantly reminded of the scary virus, and so they can show pictures of Americans looking like something out of a zombie apocalypse movie.
Coaster….
The masks don’t do squat. In fact they pick up
germs…and hold them next to your face.
What they do achieve is …
Hides their face from security cameras.
Accustoms women to wear Sharia garb
Stops terrorist identification
Makes everyone submissive to the control group.
Shows which party they will vote for
The medical value is exactly what the “scientists” said,
“nothing medical about it.”
I wear a mask to go into stores if they have a sign requesting it. If people inside aren’t wearing them I take it off.
I do not otherwise wear a mask.
You have to wear a mask to get into a restaurant in Illinois. I wear it to enter which allows me to support the business. We should not let the mask issue cause a business to fail.
Peace…
Illinois is controlled by the UNIONS. The unions
control the ballot boxes. The unions are pretty much
the DemonRat Party. They sign up voters… basically
act in place of the courthouse.
Otherwise…. lazy butts would not get off the couch
with beer and chips. But, for three minutes at work,
they are interested in voting. Some workplaces
“require” democratic votes…..”union solidarity,” of workers.
Workers comply or later they get replaced.
IL-Demoncrats are “dirty” in politics. They have been known
to “publish” a polling place…. and then switch
just hours or minuets before voting ….if too many
Repubs come to vote..!!
Then there is the “bull” passing out ballots during the
primary….. who refuses to give you a Repub ballot.
HQ in Springfield excuses the woman (bull) as “not
aware of the rules”…..but didn’t fix the problem. So basically
they told me to vote Dem or don’t vote.
Lyin’ Cheatin’ Stealin’ Illinois…..
OH Yeah !!!!
Rand Paul was wearing a mask when he was attacked on the streets of Washington DC by the mob, but Rand has already had COVID and is a physician. Why was he wearing a mask?
Rand needs to take his mask off. Ditto for Congressmen Massie and Gohmert. They are immune.
You are so right. He is either immune or a liar. Or hey, he is immune AND a liar. It was months ago we heard Rand Paul say he had covid. He had no symptoms and reported he never developed any symptoms . Clearly the tests have always tested wrongly for an ACTUALLY deadly virus. Corona Virus 2020 is not deadly. Their ridiculous treatments have been found to be deadly. (vents)
I didn’t respect Rand Paul to begin with (his support of our President has been lacking) but now I think he’s worse than dirt.
Let’s see, Rand Paul was physically attacked in his yard by a fellow physician and rabid Democrat. Rand Paul suffered broken ribs and damaged lungs.
Rand Paul was vunerable to covid-19 Because of his impaired lung function due to a beating by a rabid Democrat. Tests revealed he had Covid and he spent weeks in quarantine.
Violent, rabid BLM/ Antifa supporters of Democrats Biden/Harris, Maxine, Pelosi, and Adam Schiff, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser,etc. verbally harassed and attempted to Injure Kelley and Rand Paul as they walked to their hotel from the Republican Convention.Fortunately police were able to fend off the attackers.
Rabid, Violent BLM/Antifa Democrats attempted to harass and injure scores of others as they emerged from the Republican Convention. DC Mayor aided and abetted her BLM/Antifa support base. Her job is to keep people safe in the city she runs.
And here is what REALLY get by blood boiling – when ALL of these scampanics are exposed, when we find out that they overestimated by a factor of 10 at least, and shut and locked us up accordingly, WHO is going to be held accountable for the losses of millions and millions of people’s livlihoods?? And it’s not as though they can say O, we didn’t know, there have been MANY people warning and writing about their over-blown response, with scientific FACTS and analysis – which they PURPOSELY ignored, and censored. Personally, I believe many, many people are guilty of PREMEDITATED murder, and theft.
Since China released this “engineered” Virus to the World, THEY must be held responsible & the ONLY way I can see the 10 or so Communist Crime Families that control the people of China “paying-up” is a surprise attack on the CCP defenses, wiping-out any chance of retaliation! Leave China to the Chinese people to start-over & govern themselves with a Gov’t of their choosing.
And, then the USA would be free to seize money & assets to pay-back it’s citizens for China’s deliberate act of War. And, also convict the traitors & globalists that were part of this Scam.
Hitler lost WW2 & the resulting Nuremberg Nazi Trials got most of the Criminals, BUT in this case the only way I can see China paying-up, is if they lose a war & are forced to do so.
Sure Trump can continue hurting China by continuing to do what he is currently doing, BUT this path will not get Justice for the World & China will just continue as before.
This is “serious-sh*t” people & we can’t be “pussies” or SJW’s in dealing with this.
AND, a final point… Why can’t we develop a “return-to-sender” virus & secretly “implant” it into the Launch Control Systems for the enemy’s missiles, similar to what was done to the Iranians?
Nobody will be held accountable and the false “science” will likely hurt us for future flu and “pandemic” events. As it is, it is very likely a large number of flu cases or ILI were counted as CV.
Yeah…it’s Covid NINETEEN already! (What about the first 18 Covids?)
I overslept.
That’s just the year.
Sars-Cov-2
Good catch [humor…but honestly, we’ve undergone other sars’s without being gagged and locked down]!! 😉
I went through the mighty H1N1 without getting sick. Although a year or so before it that came I got crushed by a nameless flu–>> pneumonia.
My flu like sicknesses have all been respiratory types since then. Or, perhaps, I discount the non-respiratory ones because they go away relatively quickly whereas the respiratory ones linger and make me cough until my sides hurt.
Come on guys that is a bs statistic 6 percent. If a person is drunk and crashes a car is that an alcohol related death? Vs if they drank enough to die directly. In same way there is a larger number than those deaths where people died because of complications caused by Covid. It is disingenous to say otherwise and makes us look dumb when people use that argument.
However, there are lockdown deaths misattributed. A lot of 30 to 60 day deaths after a positive test misattributed. A lot of BS positiivity from invalid cycle times > 34 on PCR yes/no tests resulting in deaths for other causes being misattributed. Deaths from Covid vs Deaths with Covid is a real problem and only a thorough analysis of all cause deaths can we hope to guess at real death rate to Covid which is likely greater than 50% of total number. This is what we can hang our hat on. In reality a positive PCR test is not a good metric for determining died with or probable death given their PCR test was likely based on an iinvalid cycle time and thus should be ignored. The ABSOLUTELY embarassing thing (intentional?) is that cycle times are not included with every positive reported result and on the death certs for when person received positive tests. As a result the 180K number is completely fallacious and unfortunately because of bad reporting will likely stick in the books.
Co-morbidities and other causes means just that…they died from something else besides Covid-19!
You do not know anything about epidemiology and how flu deaths are counted. People don’t just die from influenza for example. But they can have comorbidities and a large number can die from secondary infections causing pneumonia. Those deaths are generally attributed to FLU deaths. People don’t just die from the FLU for example.
No. Means co-morbidities puts you at higher risk. Just like having diabetes puts you at risk of dying from a heart attack.
Having co-morbidities puts you at higher risk of dying (or hospitalized) if you happen to get COVID.
It’s what the data says.
That is not a bs statistic. It is a very important fact that needs to be spread far and wide.
There are at least 150,000,000 people in this country think that COVID-19 has killed 175,000 people.
It hasnt.
COVID, 2.6 other comorbidities AND OLD AGE has killed 170k people this year.
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE.
THANK YOU DAWG!!! Someone spewed that statistic at me and said, HOLD UP, those people that died other than covid cannot be counted AND the one that did die had other issues BESIDES covid. I told them to go back and look at the stats from Covid ONLY vs COVID + CO-MORBIDITIES…
Light bulb went off…listening to the TV WILL turn your mind to mush!!!
I assume H1N1 was counted as died because of H1N1, the way most people would normally think of it.
There would be a hell of a lot more H1N1 deaths if you went back and counted them like we do now.
Bravo Paul.
I concur. Thanks for posting.
Thanks. I try to keep people not running down paths that cause people to dismiss anything else they say, because of bad understanding. EthicalSkeptic has been dead on and also is dismissive of this red herring as hanging ones hat on the 6% is easily disproven. His estimates and methodology suggest about 28% died because of Covid. Focusing on all those problems helps get a true picture and out the fear porn MSM. Additionallly as stated too loose of a definition of Covid positives can yield much more reported deaths and many states are taking advantage of this with 30 – 60 days after positive test any death is counted as Covid. That is the real crime here.
The problem is there is a a whole new way they count COVID 19 deaths with specific information on how to complete the death form. This should give anyone pause to think, why do we need a special way to count COVID 19 deaths.
Yes, flu, for example may be listed as a cause of death, when there are other comorbidities. But how the death certificate is filled out is based on the clinical judgment of the medical practitioner. Flu might be a secondary diagnosis based on this judgment call.
What we have with COVID is ‘liberal’ guidelines (per Scarf Lady) which end up having medical professionals listing COVID as the cause even when they may have died ‘with’ COVID. Big difference. Hence we have some States, think it was AZ but can’t remember, you are counting COVID as a cause of death if the patient tested positive some months back.
The way we count COVID deaths should not require new instructions on what constitutes a cause of death. If they wanted tracking codes for data analytics, there are ways to that. IMO these COVID death counts are meaningless. You have no way of knowing if the person actually died of cancer and happened to test positive for COVID versus did they have COVID which needed to be treated and actually contributed to the death.
As I stated the number of people who died because of Covid is not 6% and much lower than the 180K number. EthicalSkeptic has been dead on and also is dismissive of this red herring as hanging ones hat on the 6% is easily disproven. His estimates and methodology suggest about 28% died because of Covid. Focusing on all those problems helps get a true picture and out the fear porn MSM. Additionallly as stated too loose of a definition of Covid positives can yield much more reported deaths and many states are taking advantage of this with 30 – 60 days after positive test any death is counted as Covid. That is the real crime here.
Election interference on a GRAND SCALE. Plain and simple. The Communist Democrats worked with the Communist Chinese and the rest of the world was collateral damage. Would this really shock anyone at this point?
The masks we are wearing will do absolutely nothing to prevent you from getting this virus. They are actually doing your kidneys much harm if you wear them often.
As a minimum Mr. Wheeler’s future fortunes have been dealt a serious blow.
When the mostly peaceful citizens began their campaign of terror I’m certain Ted felt he had the wherewithal to lead the participants. Were that handled successfully it could well serve as the springboard for higher or national level office. As it turns out he not only can’t lead them, they’re showing up at his residence calling for his removal.
Proving once again it could never happen to you … right up until it does.

The Media Support…
Good call and definitely one cause of many; useful as darkness to the burglar.
As we slog it out everyday seems we trudge uphill for our victories while Pajama Boy and Sister Social Justice get to town on the free ferry.
The Media is my biggest villain in the whole anti-Pres.Trump, deep state, globalist enterprise. Without their complance to lie, distort and manipulate the public’s interpretation of what is going on, we have a much different story. If the media were even half fair and reporting some of the real facts completely without bias we have a much diffeent story.
End their power over the narrative, and their influence and we have a much greater chance of saving America as we know and want it to be. We the People do have the power to end the media’s dominance over us if we choose to use it. They cannot exist if we don’t allow them to. Cut them off from viewership, readership, advertisers and online clicks. We are many, they are few, yet they control us. We can stop them.
Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler today apologized to his neighbors and announced that he is moving out of the building.

I’m with President Trump. Seems like we still have one-sided justice, new AG or not.
“We’ll see what happens”….yes, we will
President Trump makes the very important point that even if we are able to succeed in our Presidential race, these fraudulent 80 million ballots summarily sent out are going to affect the down ballot races, senators, congressmen, governors, etc.
We have to hold the senate and obtain the house if we are ever going to get some of the curbs necessary, any accountability.
AG Barr is no better than the mayors ordering police stand downs and prosecutors who let rioters go free. His nonfeasance neuters the rule of law and practically guarantees serious conflict in this country.
inaction is support.
silence is consent.
pretending to not know of much, to allow your TEAM to win IS ALL consent.
Barr – you have a chance to save this Republic. Not this Democratic new word.

I Stand with Tucker Carlson
Up against the mob, he is the voice of reason.
They are after him again. The voices of mainstream media, the voices that are supposed to protect our First Amendment rights, are attempting to quiet still another of those commentators who refuse to join the mobs in the street. I am speaking of Tucker Carlson, host of one of the most popular talk shows on cable TV, and of course the cable network is Fox News if you did not know. Fox News and Tucker are terribly popular. So, they are to be shut down by the voices of the mob.

Well. Ahem. Ah. Doesn’t this picture say it all? This guy can’t help what he looks like, genetics and all, but……seriously?
That’s the thing—maybe we can’t help what we look like in one sense, but there’s so much we can do to improve on what God and our ancestors and nature provides. This dude is embracing and celebrating his soyey ickiness on every possible level. He wants to look like this.
And why does basic hygiene elude so many leftists? Serious question?
“Soyey ickiness”. Lol. ?
Best response ever.
They released him on a $2,500 bond. Unbelievable!
Paid by whom, I wonder
He was arrested in early August for resisting arrest and pointing a loaded rifle at police at another rally. Released on $10,000 bail there, didn’t show up at hearing and a warrant was out for his arrest.
Green Bay has become as liberal as Madison, that’s why the judge there set bail at $2500 and turned him loose again.

This kid is from Neenah, WI – with an 87.9% white population and a 1.1% black population. Like many white Leftists, he is living out his own misfit dissatisfaction vicariously through the narrative that non-white people need his righteous protection from ‘oppression’. Simply put, he hasn’t fit in around the white people he’s been surrounded by his whole life, so he’s determined to find others to win the admiration of, and is oblivious to the fact he’s just a weirdo, period. The issue is him, not society.
Your description of this basement dweller is an apt description for most of these “protesters”.
Yes, as you can tell by pictures and videos, these are the societal misfits that don’t fit in and they are angry at everybody else for that.
Basically, aren’t they all pretty much like him except for the hardcore criminals who are also out there? Misfits looking for a ‘place’ to be relevant. Very sad in a way, but it cannot be allowed to turn violence into an accepted expression of these personality types. Laws are for everyone. Supposedly.
Normal people do not deserve to be victims of the mental misfits of the world. Help can be given, but how many of them are willing to do the work to help themselves the right way? How many want to get better and have a purpose in their lives besides the fantasyland they find online with their games and other fake online identities?
They don’t seem to be able to exist nor think rationally in the real world and are excellent dupes to be manipulated by the paid organizers of these groups and their financial overlords. There has to be a solution to stop this mayhem and get them off the streets harming innocent people and destroying property.
I’ve come to the conclusion that the biggest mistake humanity has made is to interfere with natural selection.
Now you know why they have to wear all that scary looking clothing they do. We’d laugh at them if they showed themselves in normal threads.?

say hello to my little (16 inch) friend(s)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16%22/50_caliber_Mark_7_gun
North Carolina has the 45 caliber, Mark 6 guns. I believe that only the Iowa Class had the Mark 7? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Carolina-class_battleship
I just knew someone would call me on it! Congrats, you win…in my poor defense, I had trouble finding a pix with the BB-55 North Carolina firing a broadside, so I took the easy way out, sigh…BTW, I was at Dahlgren some years ago and they still have the 18 inch tubes lying in the grass that would have gone on the next generation of battlewagons – very impressive to see. Likewise a earth-covered magazine full of 16 inch shells like I used to inspect in Hawthorne, NV is rather awesome, a word I rarely use. Fire when you are ready, Gridley!
More than correct you, I wanted you to know how much I enjoyed your comment and link. The next class of American battleships were to be the Montanas. I always thought the Alaska Class were interesting ships. Many folks online believe the South Dakotas and North Carolina were actually more lethal with the 45 caliber guns because the plunging fire would be more destructive to deck armor at the ranges battleships would typically engage.
ZACKLY! Y’know Dahlgren is an interesting place because they have a firing range down the Potomac that allows them to monitor shells over water heading towards the adversary…be it a dreadnought or a target on land. Memory fails me, but I seem to recall it’s like a straight shot of some 10 miles with telemetry all the way because firing shells over water is different than Army artillery firing over land…or so some Naval engineer told me once he realized I was an Army ammo guy. In any event, fascinating stuff…but, as Lee told us – it is good that war is so terrible, lest we grow fond of it (or words to that effect) Now back to the game: what have you got on gridsquare F8?
Uh oh … the Obama yacht! Well … it’s more of a garbage scow ….
If you have any interest in naval history, this little known episode from WWII is very interesting. One of the 3 Deutschland Class “Pocket Battleships”, Admiral Scheer, went on a convoy hunting expedition along the Arctic coast of the Soviet Union. https://www.allworldwars.com/Operation-Wunderland-1942.html
interesting tale…one of many from the Second World War that is little known. Along those lines, I was in Narvik some 25 years ago and made an effort to drive along the cliffs of the fjord until I found a remote corner where a German destroyer is still visible above the water line some 55 years after it was sunk by the Royal Navy. I gots to tell ya, even though it was the middle of a sunny day, it was the most eerie feeling I’ve ever had…had chills and could almost feel the ghosts of sailors long gone. OK, that’s enough…if we keep going, we’re gonna need to get a room…and my wife will simply not understand

A new ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit found that a Colorado couple’s private student loans could be discharged when a borrower files for personal bankruptcy, further upending a legal concept dominating student debt for years.
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/colorado-couple-sees-200000-in-student-debt-discharged-by-judge-131501065.html
This is going to turn into a massive explosion of bankruptcies by indebted students! The results of this decision cannot be overstated.
Before federally guaranteed student loans we didn’t have this problem because banks had to require borrowers met underwriting minimums, even when it necessitated a co-signee.
(Just like what happened after the banks were required to abandon normal mortgage underwriting standards for certain demographics by community agitators like Ebama, resulting in the 2008 massive bank failures.)
Exactly. Once the govt. guarantees something, that takes the burden off the borrowers and directly back on the taxpayers who are the real ones guaranteeing these loans. It’s also one of the reasons college is unbelievably expensive now, imo. Trace back how fast tuitions and other expenses rose once govt. guaranteed student loans happened across the board. Get the govt. out of the loan business it should never have been in. imo.
“ McDaniel took out multiple student loans from Sallie Mae called “Tuition Answer Loan” to pay for a degree she obtained in 2008 while juggling work and parental duties. She estimated that her master’s and bachelor’s degrees left her with $120,000 total in private loans. I’m 2009, McDaniel and her husband, Byron Patterson McDaniel, filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy because “it was either that or we were getting to the point where we couldn’t keep our house.”“
Here’s an idea — don’t rack up debt you can’t afford. If you do, realize that you might have to sell a house, downsize, move to a different area, rent or a number of things. For her to act like like filing bankruptcy on the school loans (including a master’s) was the only option because keeping the one house was non-negotiable is ridiculous.
This is unsustainable.

The CRIME right now is…he was of “white” European descent!
I am reminded of the Russian Communists: they killed off the grandchildren of people who were rich, or at least too wealthy for their taste, as if being wealthy were a genetic disease.
They really don’t care about history. They have another agenda for doing these things. Attention and media hype. Break America into pieces, promote Communism, globalism, socialism are the real objectives.

This seems like an appropriate warning to the above story:
What is the deal wiht POTUS not meeting with the family of Jacob Blake
The father seemed hostile. the mother seemed to be not so hostile and something
about thier lawyers wanted to be present for the meeting?
I think you have it all right there don’t you? Their lawyers wanted to be present- duh.
If that’s the lawyer I think it is (Trayvon Martin’s family lawyer, Benjamin Crump), It wouldn’t do to meet with that man. He’s out to get everybody for the money. He preys on racism. He would have been looking for a reason to “git” President Trump.
Their race baiting lawyer Benjamin Crump (yes, the Trayvon Martin case Benjamin Crump) wanted to be there. Not a chance President Trump was going to let that happen. His quote was along the lines of “No thanks, I’ve got enough lawyers in my life.”
sorry, I forgot to refresh before posting.
We have to win and we have to have an army of volunteers ready to stop the ballot fraud in real time.
If you believe they will not try anything, you are probably wearing a mask to keep from being one of about 9000 people who have actually died from the COVID19 virus in this country. And none of them have been younger than 15 years old. They have used this “pandemic crap” to destroy the best economy in the world and shutdown the day care centers that are our sorry excuse for public schools.
Yet they still have the vast majority of this nation running scared from a virus that is no more of a problem than a common cold. Over 95% of the deaths were not because of the virus. We have been played and it is working so well that the Demcommies can use it as an excuse for employing the most fraud friendly method of voting ever known, and then committing fraud.
TRUMP2020, because you can’t even make this nonsense up. We have to ask everyone who admits they will vote for Biden or any other Dem exactly why. And when they say Orange Man bad, ask them how so. This kind of stupidity has to be addressed before the ballots get cast. This election is looking like our one chance, short of war, to save our Republic.
Let’s not misinterpret the 9,000 dead. Because the others listed as COVID-19 deaths had co-morbidity factors, does not mean COVID-19 did not cause their deaths. Had there not been COVID-19, many (or most or almost all) of those would still be alive. Quite frankly, it is misleading to say “over 95% of the deaths were not because of the virus.”
The virus was doubtless a factor in the death of those with co-morbidities. How much of a factor, we cannot tell. A good ME should make it clear. Regardless of that, we clearly approached this response backwards, quarantining everybody, in some states, and shutting down businesses for months. A more effective approach would have been to quarantine the elderly and the compromised and let everyone else go about business as usual. The cost in dollars and lives andcsocial disruption would ultimately have been much smaller.
agreed … those 9,000 likely died due to the Cytokine storm … am pretty comfortable with the 75k who died with covid and pneumonia being called covid deaths … (even though many of those may have comorbidities) … what I think is suspect is the 95K+ listed as covid deaths with NO pneumonia … The comorbidity most like killed them … maybe a small number of them actually died from a Cytokine storm … but without Cytokine storm or pneumonia covid doesn’t kill … period … so at most there may be about 84K actual covid deaths …
Flu and pneumonia are listed together. Seems a tad problematic to see Flu in there.
If you are trying to discount the significance of the fact that COVID-19 by itself has only killed 9000 people, it is YOU who is misinterpreting the data.
“Had there not been COVID-19, many (or most or almost all) of those would still be alive”
=======================================================
Not necessarily. My dad spent 6 years in an assisted living facility. Every flu season, there was a huge uptick in deaths. Most of the residents have some kind of co-morbidity. Their deaths (included my dad) were not listed as “flu deaths” even though they had the flu when they died. They died because the flu developed into pneumonia which in their weakened state, their immune system couldn’t fight off.
The daily death rate for the USA is 7,755 and that does not include Covid-19.
https://www.indexmundi.com/clocks/indicator/deaths/united-states
THAT’S PER DAY! That would mean that for the 5 months preceding this one, approximately 1,163,250 died from natural causes or illnesses which didn’t include covid. That should put it in perspective.
I did not misinterpret what the CDC reported recently. They said that roughly 9,000 of the 190,000 reported COVID19 deaths, were actual COVID19 deaths. All others were deaths with COVID19 determined to be a contributing factor along with multiple other causes of death, and that list is long because the hospitals are getting extra money from medicare for each death attributed to COVID19. Actually, when other comorbidity are listed, they are almost always the main cause of death, which explains why we still have not had even one COVI19 death among children up to 15 years old in Colorado. The public drive up testing center tests are basically useless, so the case/test ratios are badly skewed as well, rendering all of this testing to be done just to allow more over billing of Medicare. Our State Gubmints are making horrifying policy decisions based on the numbers they are collecting. Yes, we have the makings of another huge election scandal here.
I have studied the Colorado statistics since the beginning of the “pandemic” and my best estimate of the number of actual COVID19 deaths are closer to 7% here, which I have been assuming was a good number to extrapolate to the whole country. I have been trying to tell Treepers about this since around April 1st, over five months ago when we were still just going to be locked down long enough to flatten the curve.
My biggest concern, since this thing started, has been that so many people just do whatever they are told by the “authorities”, no matter what. That is the real definition of a Socialist nation and of lemmings. I wore a mask and gloves for the first three weeks myself, and once when I was told I could not bring my dog into the vet’s office unless I was wearing a mask. I did it but I gave the vet a piece of my mind afterward. I am getting angry now, so I will just let this be the end of this rant.
Just one more item. It is obvious why all these polls continue to favor the candidate with Alzheimer’s Disease. After Trump wins by a landslide on election night, and all the bushels full of mail in ballots begin to arrive in the mail, and after these get counted and it looks like the election could go either way, and the Republicans are contesting millions of fraudulent ballots, the Democraps will be saying that these are the votes that show all of the pre-election polls about a Biden victory were right, and the people will doubt that Trump won the election even though everyone they knew voted for Trump.
Now do you see why the pollsters are collecting data that has no connection to the actual voters?
Do you also see that the “COVID19 pandemic” is nothing more than an excuse for the Democraps to claim that it is TOO DANGEROUS to even send our kids back to school, much less to allow in person voting?
Welcome to the 2020 Presidential election!
What can we do? Put signs out in our yards for Trump to reinforce in the minds of lemmings that nearly everyone will vote for Trump. Never let someone tell you they are voting for Biden without asking them why? Do you see why making them explain THEIR vote to make THEM uncomfortable will be necessary?
Anyone else have any other ideas, please share them because I don’t want to have to fight in a civil war to try to save my country at my age. Now I am too angry again, so that will have to be all for this rant.
Does DNI Ratcliffe’s comments about coordinating with Durham sound suspiciously like the excuses used to justify withholding declassification during the Mueller investigation?
Is this just another attempt to run out the clock, until after the election?
All the talk by DOJ about the need to avoid the appearance of “politics” sound to me like another version of the “obstruction” threat used by Mueller.
Is the Durham investigation being used to limit Ratcliffe’s ability to declassify and release info damaging to the Deep State?
One thing I noticed about the Mifsud 302 is that he denied discussing the DNC emails with Papadopoulos. Well, of course he didn’t. That was before the emails were even “exfiltrated”. The story I’d always heard is that Mifsud supposedly told Papadopoulos the Russians had Hillary Clinton’s emails, supposedly the ones that were on her private server. So, why is Mifsud talking about the DNC emails? Is he being clever, or did the FBI agents actually ask him about the DNC emails? If the latter, why? Were the agents that unaware, or were they being clever?
A related question: it seems to be pretty much settled that the Papadopoulos affair was the immediate predicate for Crossfire Hurricane. For quite some time the public thought it was the dossier that launched the investigation, until finally, as the dossier was falling apart, the NYT wrote an article saying nope, it was Papadopoulos. Take that, suckers!
But then why was that fact kept secret for so long?
The more I learn about Papadopoulos and Crossfire Hurricane, the more it doesn’t make any sense, as if there was supposed to be some kind of set up, but nobody cooperated, and at some point somebody said, “Who cares? We’re going through with it anyway.”
The Biden campaign strategy is to look for things that Americans are angry about (ie school closings) and blame Trump for them.
It’s not gonna work.
What a difference a weekend makes, eh? They went from “mostly peaceful and anyone who says otherwise is a racist” to “we need to shut this violence down.”
So, then, you acknowledge there is violence, and that violence is a bad thing? Asking for a friend….
On September 30th the federal government will shutdown due to a lack of a budget. If you were “Spa Day” Pelosi, how would you play this trump card?
Prediction: President Trump will be forced to submit to bailing out the cities and everything else Pelosi wants. Our Republican geniuses in Congress cut the deal so that funding runs out right before the election. They doomed us.

NYTimes:
Trump – Human Trafficker – proof inside!
I think this 22 minute Tim Pool video does a pretty good job of explaining how it is important to not give fuel to the media to discredit what’s going on by jumping to hasty conclusions thus giving the msm the ability to turn these conclusions into conspiracy theories which are used to discredit what the ‘Right’ is saying, allowing the ‘Left’ to then own the narrative:
bessie2003,
Thanks for link.
Worthwhile 22 minutes,
I see that all the Moderators have been selected for this cycle’s Presidential debates. Notice that there are NONE who are either Pro-Trump, or even legitimately neutral:
https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/presidential-debates-chris-wallace-kristen-welker-moderators-1234757087/?
Moderators should be media unknowns — selected from small networks and papers around the country. The debates have become about the networks and the moderators, and not about the candidates.
Why the campaign agreed to this list needs some explanation. I would love to hear a tape of the negotiations leading up to the decision.
Your solution seems as good as any others I’ve seen.
Biden giving a speech in Delaware now.
Definitely on some sort of mood-flattening drug.
Speech targeted at people who haven’t any clue about actual current events.
He can’t recite more than two or three words without returning his eyes to the teleprompter.
I think he’s just one teleprompter in front of him because he can’t handle going back & forth between two screens.
Now taking pre-arranged questions.
He actually puts full sentences together. He must be on something. It is fascinating all answers are projection and the feds need to pay for everything in the country, school.
His answers stray from the question pretty quickly to “Trump is bad and is not handling anything well”.
The one question about how he would tell parents how to handle home schooling and working from home, he answered with some garble about preschool and cleaning. huh?
Another question he confused ventilators with ventilation when talking about PPE and getting schools open. I don’t think ventilators are needed in schools just yet.
Becoming apparent that the Dems know the jig is up with the Presidential election. We need not to be complacent and concentrate our efforts on the House and Senate races…that is where the real battle is to be won to give our President the support going forward.
Which one is the man in the relationship? The dating pool is for Lapdog Media must be sparse.

She was on “our” team as political handler of Sarah Palin in 2008. Think of that.
StanH,
Political handler or UniParty Saboteur ?
I am leaning towards the latter.
Sad that what used to be tin foil hat stuff, is NOT.?
Dan Richman is a special kind of friend too.
When I see reports of RNC fundraising they often report numbers of small donors. Has anyone seen reports about donors for the supposed massive funds raised by Biden?
IMO the actual number of donors is what really matters …
The Biden campaign’s tweet is deliberately misleading. They want you to think that 95 percent of donations came in from small donors.
If 1.6 million people gave small donations of $20 each as Biden says….that would account for $35 million or so. Where did the other $320 million come from?
Opensecrets reports 300 million year to date total
https://www.opensecrets.org/2020-presidential-race/candidate/joe-biden?id=N00001669
He (Biden) just claimed there were1.6 million donors giving $10, $15, $20 . . .
So in my mind, I see an APP for that. Say a millennial has APPed for $5 foot longs for the summer, with the unstated policy of the sandwich shop that they will donate every fourth APP order by an individual customer to BLM, which, of course, is then tentacled into the DNC/Biden coffers . . .
How quickly could a month long ad campaign for a nationwide chain generate millions, eh?
Hahaha. ^^^^
And just like that, Branco sketches a cartoon depicting exactly what I am saying . . .
I am watching Joe Biden’s presser. The press is trying to be very quiet – you could hear a pin drop. The reporters walk quietly, one-by-one, up to the mic, so there is very little movement in Joe’s field of vision. This is to keep Biden from getting confused (any more than usual). The reporters are asking softball questions – sometimes Biden is looking down and obviously reading the answers. Totally staged.
You should read comments of Democrats on Twitter… they think is doing great and clearly more in charge of his mental faculties than President Trump.
The bubble these people live in is unbelievable.
Oh, oh… Peter Ducey is pushing him… look out! Lol!
I predict Ducey will be removed by Team Hiden Biden soon.
Joe really gets oddly agitated at Peter.
Yes, the agitation is another symptom.
I hope someone is fact checking this answer
I would say that the positive comments about Biden are from paid shills.
His staff gets to choose which media can ask questions?
That guy can’t make a basic decision and he wants to deal with world leaders.
Sunny- Biden staff are calling on the reporters because SloJo would mix them up and then his teleprompter answers would be out of order. Would love to see that.
Biden claims we all have to wear masks to protect our neighbors.
What that sounds like to me is that, ‘Look man, we all have this virus. So any one of us could be infecting those around us at any time.’
Hey, Joe, is that what the science spewers you are listening are claiming? That there is NO WAY we will get rid of this virus because we all have it, and thus we must submit to masks in order to reduce our overall death rate, cuz, come on, man, that’s what Trump managed to do — decrease the overall death rate of the entire country — and, you know, if you can’t claim to do better than Trump, what else have you got . . .?

Has anyone seen a truly thorough, rigorous examination of the various files said to be “hacked” or “downloaded” from DNC? Steve McIntyre is in the midst of an interesting thread which seems to undermine both the Seth Rich “insider” theories and the “Russian hacker” theories, because (he says) no one is noticing how many of the files released were utter garbage of no interest to either an inside whistleblower or a supposedly sophisticated hacker…. but this seems to make all the alleged hacking even more mysterious, i.e., what was the motive? If so many trivial and/or antiquated files were obtained and released, was someone just more interested in establishing a “hack” narrative than in any actual content of files? That seems to be an implication of McIntyre’s thread:
He doesn’t make a very convincing argument against the Seth Rich scenario to me. Just because Rich was a DNC operative doesn’t mean he knew everything that was in the docs. He could have been grabbing/downloading whatever he could, hoping something juicy was there. He also starts off by acting like he’s going to ‘de-bunk’ Bill Binney’s too fast for hack transfer assertion. He never really does, which is not surprising considering Binney’s expertise on the subject matter.
So… “IF” it is true (I don’t know) that a ton of trivial and/or irrelevant files were copied and released, does that suggest that the operation is NEITHER about a real “Russian hacker” nor a “DNC insider whistleblower” such as Seth Rich???
Could it all suggest that it was all about establishing a fake “hacking” narrative while AVOIDING any release of actually important DNC files???
i.e., some kind of “inside” job but not of the whistleblower variety….. more like the Crowdstrike – Hillary — Marc Elias — Fusion GPS kind of “Ratf*****” campaign dirty deeds??? This whole area needs more rigorous research…. because almost every narrative is either official FBI/Mueller “Russian hacking” variety or else “insider Seth Rich” variety….. yet it is striking how little of any important substance was released to satisfy the goals of either of those kinds of agents.
Wait, he’s talking about Guccifer 2.0’s documents? I always thought Guccifer 2.0 was just a DNC operative whose job was to confirm the “hacking” narrative, subtly point the finger of blame at Russia, and claim to be Wikileaks’ source for the DNC emails.
The “Guccifer” files are irrelevant. What matters is how Wikileaks got their information.
Two different things

So this reporter knew the President had a stroke in 2019 and did not report it but added this info to his new book?
Yeah, the White House Press pool was so respectful ( as always) when they traveled with him to Walter Reed for his physical.
SunnyFlower,
CNN is obfuscating – they are talking about Joe Biden having mini strokes. I just heard Don Jr discussing what he calls Joe’s explosions he has in his head (I’ve heard Don Jr mention this before). I have a friend who has the same problem called “brain bleeds.” It’s a type of stroke.
Remember this?
I completely forgot about that happening to Joe.

I had a bad but interesting experience this week . . . I am caretaker for my 90 yr old Aunt (nearly blind, very frail, some dementia) who has been having regular visits at area opthalomology group office bc of acute glaucoma in one eye. I had cataract surgery at this same office on Aug. 10, so I have been to this office multiple times since Covid.
My aunt had appt. on Monday we came in wearing our masks. My mask is a gaiter type mask but has ear loops. I wear this because it is lightweight and when I pull it off I can leave it around my neck and have my hands free to hold onto my aunt to lead her as I have to do, grab car keys, paperwork etc.
We were greeted at the door to have temp checked and questions asked – okay. Then he says to me that they did not like the “gaiter” type masks and I needed to put on one of these – these being a blue paper towel (think the kind used in automotive/machine shops as grease rags) that was fan folded and stapled on each end with a rubber band sticking out.
I said I was not going to wear that and they refused to let me go in with my aunt. I was treated very rudely over this. They kept saying it was CDC guidelines. One office person even yelled at me “the virus is real!”
Now do I go back to have my surgical eye checked and use another kind of mask or do I stand my ground. I spoke to office manager today and asked to see some kind of documentation that the paper towel was better than my mask, which of course he cannot provide.
I called another big opthalomology group practice in our area and they do not have anything against this type mask. This was after the CDC numbers came out showing only 6% of Covid deaths were from the Covid virus alone. My guess is that the folks running this office are Democrats. Democrats running scared their candidate is going to lose.
Yep. Keep moving the goal posts. First it was some sort of face covering, but now they have to justify the expense the incurred by buying all those disposable masks . . .
61 days til 3 NOV 2020 and _________________!
go back with their approved mask and be sure to constantly harp about how masks don’t work and not following the science (all the while wearing the mask) … make them stew in it …
I read an article a week or so ago, that reviewed how effective masks were. The article claimed that “gaiters” are worse than mo mask, because the gaiters break down your exhalation particles even smaller.
I remember because I order a package of them out of spite. I can’t/won’t wear a mask and I thought of using them in a pinch. But they are made in China and smell funny, so no luck there.
I will try to locate the article.
*no mask, not mo mask. Geesh.
I keep remembering ‘The Art of the Deal’ where you must be ready to walk away. A recent visit to a surgicenter for cataract replacement had me crossways in the same way. I adamantly said NO mask – then turned to hubby and said ‘lets go home’. Funny, it was decided i could stay – but i WAS ready to leave them to explain to the doctor why i left. PS in the doctor’s office nobody was wearing masks. And – if i am in a location where the ‘staff’ is masked i tell them that my old ears and their muzzle make it so i can’t understand – magic- mask is lowered.
And my cowboy bandanna has a terrible time staying on my nose. Have you noticed that when there is a pix on TV when they show numerous ‘muzzled’ persons that many (most?) of the masks are below the nose?
The poor people who check us out at the grocery store are ready for the nonsense to end. Masks below nose, pulled aside when they need to communicate with others.
And i have noticed, as have other treepers, that us old folks could care less about masks. it’s the 20 to 40 yr old who seem to have drunk the kool aide.
You watch, it’s the younger generation that will bail us out of this mess.
ps see the jcm pix below for view of mask below nose

“Robinson (D-Memphis) is accused of stealing $600,000 from the school and compensating herself more than the grant allowed.
Some of the things investigators say she used the grant money for included: a Jeep for her daughter; clothing, accessories, expenses related to her wedding and honeymoon and later, legal fees for her divorce; payments on her personal debts, including credit cards, store charge cards, student loans and other personal loans; travel and entertainment; improvements to her personal residence; expenses related to a body aesthetics business she owned and a snow cone business operated by her kids; and a state senate campaign.
If convicted, Robinson faces a possible sentence of up to 20 years in federal prison, three years
supervised release, and a $250,000 fine, prosecutors said. There is no parole in the federal system.”
No parole is correct, but there are Obama judges who will give her a suspended sentence.
