A great day for President Trump’s stock market indexes! Holy Cow! I expect some of today’s incredible gains to be given back in the last 15 minutes of trading and/or tomorrow, but what a tear!
Take a screen shot of your portfolio results today, I will.. The flaky market is about to blow up any day now. As POTUS Trump wins a second term, the ascent of the markets will continue.
I told a co-worker the same thing: “Hey if you don’t often look at your 401K, today is a good day to look.”
I don’t expect it to “blow-up” but I do expect a decent pull-back before the election. Once the President is elected, I agree, the ascent will continue on.
I keep hearing people say that the markets will plunge any day now in order to hurt PDJT, but from what I’m seeing, it sure looks like investor crowd would much rather make money under a Trump administration than loss bigly under Creepy Joe. Just look at how the market performed during the DNC clown show vs the GOP convention.
Super V ! With that said, it only brings us back to pre-COVID levels. Only NASDAQ And S&P is in a new bull market because of tech stocks. The Dow is just getting back to square one.
Still, it’s a great milestone and a tribute to our great president. Now let’s recover all of the lost jobs we had and then some more from China! MAGA!!
Dow Jones up 600 points since the end of the RNC Convention. I can think of no reason this is happening because the markets still think Biden will win.
Actually that gambling market everyone cites in the UK changed last night. The odds are now for President Trump. Read an article this morning about the switch.

They are not really ‘gains’ IMHO. Just inflation now built in by the enormous debt. Some here can remember the DOW being under 800 – the excess is largely inflation since then.
The FED can no longer raise rates substantially, because the interest on the gigantic debt would consume the tax base. The FED can’t reduce rates much below zero, without destruction of the economy. The FED has recently admitted it must inflate away the debt.
Politicians understand they can spend gigantic amounts over tax revenue , which will degrade the value of money, but after it can be pinned on them…Plus, they get tgo tax these “gains’, which are not actual income, but merely inflated amounts of less-value dollars for the same things. Corruption redefined ‘income’, which is not really income.
A person is not eligible for the office of Vice President if they are not eligible to serve as President.
We should never accede to another candidate even running who is not a “natural born citizen”; the damage from the last one should never have happened and contrary to those who appreciate President Trump’s agenda – which I do – it will NEVER be sufficient to erase all the train-loads of unaccompanied minors, Syrian refujihadists, uncivilized Somalians, and gang-bangers from South America, most of whom are long since benefiting from our largesse by siring/bearing unConstitutional anchors in our country.
Obola built that, and very intentionally.
Kamala Harris is an American citizen but she is not a “Natural Born Citizen.” I realize the courts threw out all the cases against the DNC when the Indonesian citizen ran, but after he irreparably “transformed” America for the worse how can they possibly still claim that we don’t all have standing? It is our Constitution being violated and our nation they are ruining.
Harris cannot serve, regardless of the results of the election. She CANNOT serve.
You’re right of course. If by some tragic circumstance they win, you think she will be stopped on this basis? Nice thought, patriotic and correct, but it would never happen. Of course Americans should have standing on this as it affects all of us and can cause us harm if a Pres. has allegiance to another country.
If she was going to be challenged on that problem it should have already happened. She should not be allowed to run for that office, but she is running and nobody has done one thing about this little Constitutional problem she has. Obama and McCain shut the door on challenging natural born citizenship as a viable impediment to running for Pres. and VPres. in America. Not one person on the repub side, the conservaive media-Hannity, Carlson, Ingraham etc., the RNC, not Constitutional historians like Levin or Victor Davis Hanson, no one with a public voice has said a word about this to my knowledge.
At this point, I would happily settle for eliminating anchor baby status forever. Maybe PTrump will address anchor baby citizenship in his second term when he can afford to be attacked by the left and it won’t matter. One of my biggest wishes.
Please repeat this post daily in case someone misses it. Since none of our Congresscritters have objected to her joining the Democrat ticket, perhaps Judicial Watch can light a fire under her candidacy. I will personally ask Tom Fitton to look into it. but all Treepers can seek out Fitton or their favorite pro-Trump Congresscritter to do the same.
Well, if Barack and Kamala can run for P or VP then so can Donald Trump JR. I can’t wait to see their heads explode if he runs in order to continue the MAGA program.
The political Uniparty all love having their families get run for office or get entrenched in bureaucracies and media. So DT, Jr can get it started for the New Republican Party.
Critical thinking:
1). We do not have any definitive proof of just WHO 44’s actual biological parents are.
2). Kamala/Joe are not going to win, with or without a challenge to her eligibility.
3). Propping up Jr as a candidate, KNOWING he is ineligible is ‘the other sides’ dream:
Headline screams: U.S. electorate knowingly vote to void the Constitution!
1. It’s been asserted Stanley Ann Dunham is bio mother, and much evidence exists to support Dunham was pregnant and had a baby in 1960 or 61.
2. We all hope it’s true but it’s reckless to ignore the massive scale of fraud currently aligned to war against the “results”.
3. “Propping up”. Interesting reveal of a negative view of a viable conservative candidate. Don Jr. running is ingenious. Foreign born Obama ran. SCOTUS ruled no one has standing to sue. If no one has standing then DJ can run. Brilliant.
1). A natural born citizen is the product of a citizen mother AND a citizen father, just as a natural born human is the product of a human mother AND a human father. If you know any human that did not come about in that created equal manner, then you have a jackpot on your hands. What are you doing hanging around here?
2). There is a FINITE amount of citizens eligible to be voters on this country. That the dimms are already letting you know that they will be bringing up the rear in having the ‘winning votes’ once their haul (along with all the Trump votes) adds up to over that finite amount, guess who is sitting there looking like they just got caught with their hands in the cookie jar?
3). Oh, I am not being disingenuous or negative in my view of Don, Jr. I believe he would be an outstanding conservative candidate to run for mayor or governor of NY (who are not so logical about who gets to be elected there as our founders were for the whole country), and go in there and make New York Great Again!
Could Pence be the one with standing to object?
I mean, he had to meet the natural born citizen requirement, why does she get to duck out of even being queried about it . . .?
The federal judge ruled that the American citizen who sued to stop Obama from running did not have “standing” to sue. Only McCain could sue the judge ruled. This is a standard way Leftist judges throw out our rights in court!
Vaccine experts are warning the federal government against rushing out a #coronavirus #vaccine before testing has shown it’s both safe and effective. Decades of history show why they’re right.
This brilliant short video from the Children’s Health Defense concisely summarises the corrupt tragedy of the H1N1 vaccine, and how that situation should serve as a warning to the whole world today.
A brief summary:
Governments all over the world sign “sleeping contracts” with pharmaceutical firms to buy flu vaccines in the event of a pandemic.
In 2009 the World Health Organization changed its official definition of “pandemic” to a much looser one (with no requirement for anyone to have died).
Just weeks later they declared the H1N1 flu a “pandemic”, despite minuscule numbers of deaths
This triggered sleeping contracts worth billions.
Governments were legally obliged to buy up and distribute untested flu vaccines.
The vaccines caused serious, life-long side effects in over 1300 children.
Legal immunity meant no pharmaceutical firm paid any compensation, instead reparations were paid by taxpayers
Many of the scientists who advised the WHO declare a pandemic were later revealed to have financial interests in vaccine manufacturers.
This shocking recent history has been totally memory-holed in the mainstream, but serves as a dress rehearsal for our current “crisis”.
Watch the video, share it widely. It has, quite obviously, never been more important or more relevant.

CDC tells states to be ready to distribute potential COVID-19 vaccine by Nov. 1 https://trib.al/JdV5uHJ
I seriously doubt we will have a vaccine ready by November 1st, but ESGDJT is doing the right thing politically by announcing that a system will be ready to go around November 1st to distribute the vaccine.
I sure as heck will not be taking this or any other vaccine that becomes available, but the announcement alone will ease some of the anxiety for those freaked out that COVID-1984 will kill them.
They are gathering volunteers to test a vaccine in the lehigh valley right now.
Yes, yes, yes. A 1000 likes. Bill Gates should be prosecuted for distributing vaccines to uneducated underclasses in foreign countries where people were used as guinea pigs. I believe India banned his foundation from operating there after a very bad experience.
The same goes for Gate’s distribution of Monsanto and its GMOs.
https://sustainablepulse.com/2018/11/24/tanzania-orders-destruction-of-monsanto-gates-foundation-gmo-trials/
Now he’s into releasing genetically-modified mosquitoes (most recently planned in the Florida Keys and Texas) to kill off the population. What about the species such as bats that rely on mosquitoes as a food source? Mother Nature might not appreciate this egoist playing God again. I always remember when man attepted to kill off the wolves and bison with tragic consequences. Both had important roles yo play in the balance of all living plants and animals plus the flow of rivers.
https://welovetrump.com/2020/08/25/oxitec-a-gates-foundation-co-set-to-release-750-million-genetically-modified-mosquitoes-on-florida/
Bill Gates and Monsanto. What could go wrong?
In change of tack, European Union states could secure potential COVID-19 vaccines from companies in talks with wht WHO scheme dubbed COVAX
Even when “approved” by the FDA, it is fully known that the vaccines are so dangerous, and will cause such harm, that they MUST be free of liability for the harm caused to ‘patients’. These vaccines are so dangerous, the makers must given freedom from lawsuits, and financial indemnification for the damage they do to people they are used on. The vaccines are known to be so potentially dangerous that the victims of vaccine harm must be prevented by law from suing because of the known harm which can be caused to them.
On the other hand, hydroxychloroquine (and other cheap effective drugs), which does not require freedom from lawsuit for harm caused to patients, is increasingly shown to be effective and has long been known to be very safe. HCQ is strangely blocked by the corrupt FDA, which is willing to ‘fast track’ vaccines which are so dangerous they require freedom from damage lawsuits for the harm they cause. And these vaccines will likely not be any more effective than HCQ, which is very safe when prescribed by a Doctor.
remarkably corrupt, IMHO.
Meanwhile, the FDA continues to ignore and suppress cheap, effective treatment to reduct the china virus to no worse than a regular flu season, which would open up the country, schools, businesses, restaurants, voting-in-person, etc IMMEDIATELY.
for example., see the recent 8,000 patient results from Belgium:
“Low-dose Hydroxychloroquine Therapy and Mortality in Hospitalized
Patients with COVID-19: A Nationwide Observational Study of 8075
Participants” which you can download at https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32853673/
No ‘journalist’ asks fauci about vaccine safety vs HCQ, Ivermectin, or otehr china virus moderating drugs.
Yes, and check out this 2014 Huffington Post article before it disappears. Maybe somebody save it? because it’s interesting
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/whitewashing-aids-history_b_4762295
The article details Fauci’s role in suppressing effective pneumonia treatment for immunocompromised AIDS patients using long-approved Bactrim, back in the late 1980s when AIDS patients were dying by the thousands.
Fauci declared that Bactrim treatment needed more testing and might be unsafe etc. etc.
Please read and share
why is fauci still there?
Alex Azar was sworn in as President Trump’s Secretary of Health and Human Services in January 2018. Why didn’t Azar get rid of this fauci guy immediately?
There are very many people with qualifications (and less conflicts of interest) to do a better job?
Permitting very long-term entrenchment in a powerful political government agency, well past 70-year retirement age, is a very bad idea.
Vaccines aren’t drugs. They aren’t adverse event free. They have about 1/10th adverse events (other than a sore arm) we see with drugs. They are preventative.
Here is a nice summary why they changed the vaccine tort laws.
https://sonorannews.com/2017/07/03/vaccine-manufacturers-exempt-liability/
vaccines can cause very significant harm. I personally know someone with permanent nerve damage.
“why they changed the tort laws” is because vaccines are predictably known to badly injure people. FACT.
In addition to vaccine dangers, there are some very dangerous drugs, too. The alternative of death requires the high risk of dangerous drugs. Cancer drugs are designed to kill cancer cells, and to just almost kill the rest of the patient. Even common drugs like statins can have 10% or more adverse reactions.
BUT Extremely safe drugs like HCQ and Ivermectin have VIRTUALLY NO ‘adverse events’ when prescribed by a doctor (checking for contraindications). They have been used for a long time, and are known to be among the safest drugs ever in history. HCQ and Ivermectin DO NOT HAVE 10 times the total harm that a new, fast-tracked china virus vaccine will surely have, as you suggest. In fact, they have had far less total harm that the china virus vaccines will surely have.
So I’m a clinical pharmacist by training. Undergrad in Pharmacy at Ferris U in Michigan and my doctorate through the University of Washington. Currently work in infectious disease/immunology and vaccines..5+ years..before that, 10+ years in cardiovascular/metabolic and then 2 years in Oncology. R&D
Vaccines can have serious adverse events but extremely rare. Again, about 1/10th of what we see of usual drugs. Hydroxy can have some serious side effects..eye issues with long term use..but generally well tolerated used in its use with COVID.
Ivermectin some side effects. Head ache, some get serious allergic reactions. Muscle aches, fever. It’s not like taking cinnamon.
Problem with taking drugs after the fact is one has to deal with the disease. Sure it may cure, but again going thru the disease is no picnic.
Vaccines are preventative..sure measles vaccine is 97% effective, shingles 95%.
Hydroxy is probably 50% (from Henry Ford study..I actually met with one of the primary investigators with my job..which was awesome..another thread). Not sure with ivermectin. Will have to see with some data. Be interesting to see with COVID vaccines. Shooting for minimum 50%, but we would like 70%.
Don’t take offense, but most on here have graduated from Google university when talking drugs and vaccines..or watched the latest conspiracy video. Doesn’t quite make the grade.
MM, I am technically quite well trained, and have hired experts like you in drug litigation. Recently I have been working on ctDNA cancer detection enhancement. You are much too snotty. Lets stick to the facts.
You obscure the HCQ and corona vaccine facts. Vaccines are MUCH more dangerous than HCQ. And there has never been an effective (much less a truly safe) corona vaccine, for significant reasons. Your reference to the measles/shingles large, stable herpes zoster virus is completely irrelevant and misleading.
The historical difficulty of corona vaccine attempts, and the facts relating to flu vaccines are more relevant. Flu vaccines are much less difficult than corona virus vaccines. We all know that flu vaccines are typically not uniformly effective. A high percentage of people who take the flu vaccine still get infected by the flu. The flu vaccine may moderate the course of the disease (just like HCQ appears to moderate the course of the china virus). Like the flu, the china virus is mutating. There are already many different china virus mutations; right now, the china virus continues to mutate. Like flu vaccines, a china virus vaccine may provide no resistance whatsoever to a mutated china virus, but can still cause harm to the patient. In addition, the corona virus immune response may be short-lived, perhaps just weeks or months. There are reports that china virus immunity is short-term, not long-lasting. There are already reports of reinfection of a surviving patient by a mutated china virus. You hope for 50% effectiveness; I suggest perhaps 30-40% immune response for just a few months, which is ineffective for mutated strains.
You complain that even if HCQ (and other safe drugs) moderate the course of the china virus, the patient will still get sick. This is true, but they will gain whatever immunity would be produced by a vaccine, perhaps even better immunity for that strain infecting them. This is of course true for the flu vaccines, and likely more true for china virus vaccines. But you ignored that HCQ (+ Ivermectin and others) can also be used as a prophylactic to prevent infection, upon exposure, or periodic, short-term mild dosage for people who do not want to risk a vaccine which is predictably dangerous enough to cause such great harm, that tort liability is a requirement to keep severely injured patients from suing the manufacturer.
You seem to continue to claim that HCQ (and other safe drugs) are more dangerous than a Chinese corona virus which requires legal protection against the damage it will cause. But HCQ is one of the oldest, and perhaps the safest drug known, with an extensive safety profile. I have been prescribed HCQ with no warning or concern from the prescriber, for short-term travel to malarial areas, with no apparent effect whatsoever. Oh, one effect was that I didn’t get malaria. Long term, high dose use by lupus patients (who are already in quite bad shape) can have optic effects, which resolve upon stopping dosage, but they still have lupus. Similarly some heart patients will not be prescribed HCQ by their doctors. But there are many patients who should not take vaccines, also.
Are you familiar with the attempts of the American Association of Physicians and Surgeons to gain the ability to prescribe HCQ to their patients? The difference they present in countries where HCQ is available and encouraged as by our crooked FDA which is intent on forcing vaccination, vs where HCQ is banned and discouraged, is interesting.
And if PTrump keeps on promoting these fast-track vaccines and they end up doing significant harm, he will be blamed as much as the manufacturers.
‘blamed’ by the fake news, to the exclusion of the manufacturers or crooked FDA.
Not so sure just the fake news if the vaccine testing process seems rushed with cut corners just to satisfy a political agenda. Just saw a forecast of the number of projected deaths to be near zero for the U.S. by early November. So why the rush when it normally takes years from development through testing?
Link me to the projected deaths by November. Hard to imagine 0 when we are seeing a little under 1000 a day now.
Seems rushed but the potential vaccines candidates are being produced and put in vials as we speak. Phases are condensed.
Still testing 30,000 people in each with phase 3 which is normal amount of people we test with normal drugs/vaccines. The phase 3 studies (and follow up studies of the earlier phases) will continue to follow these patients for at least 1-2 years. If vaccine is available before the end of the year, I have to believe it would be under emergency use authorization.
Data I have seen so far on Moderna’s and Pfizer’s show more injection site reactions after second dose. General adverse reactions are as expected..but I would like to see more data on larger groups of patients before making an assessment.
With that said, phase 2 data on both didn’t show any surprises regarding safety but a better immune response compared to patients with natural disease.
And how the heck are they going to determine any potential long-term effects (good/bad) in such a condensed testing period?
I know this link seems very conspiratorial but I found it pretty interesting and based on the CDCs own data (longish video): https://www.pscp.tv/w/1OyKAgdYRVMJb. He gets to the November projection towards the end.
After the past few months I have little/no confidence in the CDC/NIH and would never take such a vaccine. LOL, told my pharmacist husband if it ever gets released he can stuff it where the sun doesn’t shine!
I question your ‘better immune response’ than natural disease. any response to mutated strains? Experience with drug companies does not necessarily give me comfort as to the validity of results, either. The ‘evidence’ presented by the DOJ/FBI to the FISA Court to get the desired spy warrants isn’t that comforting without non-FDA study and cross-examination.
What do you propose for people before vaccines are forced on us, without the ability to sue for injury? Just let people die in the US under FDA restrictions against safe, potentially prophylactic and moderating drugs?

FRR: “The New World Order globalists love predictive programming, and more than that, they love to put it in children’s movies. Take the 2016 animated children’s movie ‘Hedgehogs’, with a storyline so much like 2020 it will send chills down your spine. ‘Hedgehogs’ is about a global virus pandemic, a respiratory illness to be exact, that originates from Asia, from a lab, from animals, that breaks out into the world population, causing everyone to wear masks.

I trust/listen to RFK jr about as much as as Dr. Judy…(who had her original research paper retracted because she manipulated data).
With that said, I was on a call with the State of Michigan Dept. Of Heath 2 weeks ago and they are planning on limited doses of a vaccine early November. So it’s possible.
The 2 front runners (Moderna/Pfizer) has to be shipped at -20/80 degrees which will be a logistically difficult. Storage is much different than other vaccines.
My best guess is the 1st the year.
Give my regards to David Brock.
How much does he pay you for your propaganda posts?
This is the best post I have seen of the night.
The good news is there is few pro vaccine folks on the Tree House.
Every so often I respond. Most of the time I just scroll by the Dr. Judy party.

More suspicious stuff…. Brennan let out that he briefed Obama on Steele memos before FBI had even started “Crossfire Hurricane” … oops… more indication that the timelines have been fabricated by Deep State coup plotters….. and since CH was filed as a “FARA” case (Foreign Agent Registration Act) what business could Brennan have had briefing Obama on FARA in July 2016??? Surely a US President did not get briefed on initial “FARA” issues when FARA was hardly ever enforced and had been viewed by DOJ as perfunctory….. everything about these cases stinks…
You owe the nation an apology, Nutty Nancy.
You were exposed for the fraud you are….

Joe, you’re yellow….
“Hello. I’m Joe Biden and I am yellow”
I’m getting VERY nervous. As of Thursday-Friday we hit the 60-day mark before Election Day. In other words, the period during which Barr / Durham could claim cover for inaction by citing DOJ non-interference with elections protocols.
NO ONE in the conservative media appears to be taking about this, either. Which means that a Deep State fix is in????
The Deep State fix has been in for years. Never allow yourself to get your hopes up over tick tock/BOOM week psyops.
I doubt if Biden will ever be charged, for anything, under any circumstances. He would claim diminished capacity, been there done that. All others are eligible for charges (per the “rule”), well except Hunter as he is Biden’s issue.
Charges will not necessarily help in the race; can not say how the few undecided voters will view it. Most voters for President Trump want charges, but they will vote for him, even if they have to craw on broken glass. I do want charges the DOJ and FBI need to do what is right.
We are winning. There will be 4 more years if we do our part. We need to concentrate on what we can do; that is talk to the reachable get them on our side, make sure our GOTV is the best it has ever been, and stop voter fraud as best we can.
bingo … you nailed it … stressing over “what if’s” will just make you sick for the next 60 days …
What 60 day rule are you talking about? Neither Biden or Harris are under investigation by Barr and none of the “targets” we know about are running for federal office!

Tony Fauci is a criminal. Period. Anybody left who is willing to defend this diabolical P.O.S.?
“Anthony Fauci used the children’s cartoon show “BrainPOP” to gain access to millions of young students to tell them to take the coronavirus vaccine when it’s approved– and to explain that they have influence over their parents’ behavior, too.”
https://www.brainpop.com/socialstudies/news/interviewwithdrfauci/
Good thing in our house we
A) Monitor and regulate the very small amount of time my boys (4 + 7) are allowed to even watch TV.
B) Have never heard of this show. It is not on our *very* short list of approved programming for them.
We only gave them 30 minutes total per day max. Explained it would ‘rot their brains’.
They are MD or PhD now.
Neither of my two kids ever watched much TV. We kept them busy with other healthier activities. They never really developed an affinity for tv. They DID read a lot of books as we had started that habit by reading to/with them as toddlers…
We DID however sit together as a family and watch the fairly new Muppet Show most Sunday evenings. And wifey says they occasionally watched Sesame Street during the day when they were pre-school. 😉
And our family watched the Peanuts Halloween and Christmas Specials each year when they were “single digits” young.
I got my son into model trains by the time he was 4, and he helped me build an XT computer when he was 7. He now works in a very skilled technical career for (redacted) in the gubmint. Daughter got into reading and writing but later wanted to be a wife and mother. She has done well at both plus she has added off-grid living/ survivalist skills.
My wife recalled getting called by a teacher at one point asking her if our 8 year old son was being accurate when he told the teacher during a class exercise that he only watched television maybe an hour or two at the most every week. Teacher said normal was like 10 hours or more. Wifey said that at first the teacher didn’t believe her either… ?
The ‘cultural’ disparity in reading to kids is known to be enormous. Those who read to them regularly and converse, provide their children with much larger vocabulary and cognitive capacity than those who do not read or converse with them. Kids can and should be reading themselves before they go to school.
Unfortunately, it is now criticized as the ‘privilege’ of having a working mind.
It does tend to trickle down generationally…. My own mother read to me and my older sister before we entered public school kindergarten in the early 1950s (in Ohio). My first grade teacher called my mother into a conference after school had been in fall session only for a few weeks. The teacher had taught my sister and now saw me reading at almost third grade level and wanted to know how our Mom was teaching us. My mother was actually surprised – she only did what she was taught by her mother – use phonetics and help the children learn daily by using basic primers (“See Spot Run”) for practice.
The other key is buying plenty books that are fun for the kids (observe their level of interest by subject matter). Second / third hand books are just as fun – doesn’t have to be expensive.
My wife’s nephew is doing the same with his two children and they do not have a TV in the house. The two girls are brilliant and read several levels above their peers.
It’s not rocket science; just takes an honest effort by the parent(s)
Ah, yes – see spot run… run, run, run…
Your observation of interest is key. learning is work, but work is powered by interest. It is not that hard to match books with a child’s interests. Another approach is to read aloud up to toward the end of a ‘good’ story, then stop so the child can finish it. (with help if needed, but the effort gets the neurons going)
Portland Mayor Tells Neighbors He’s Moving After Riot Outside His Condo
2 Sep 2020
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/portland-mayor-tells-neighbors-hes-moving-after-blm-riots-outside-condo
In late July, Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler attempted to hold a ‘listening session’ with BLM protesters – wading into an angry crowd he thought he could tame with his giant brain and a PA loudspeaker.
Six weeks and many deadly riots later, tensions have escalated – as protesters began showing up to his high-rise condominium over the weekend, breaking windows, setting fires and partying.
Wheeler’s neighbors in the city’s upscale Pearl District were treated to the musical stylings of a local band, while young Portlandians danced in the street.
On Sunday it was bullhorns, bear costumes and chanting.
And on Monday, Wheeler’s 58th birthday, police declared a riot outside the Mayor’s condo – arresting 19 people who were mostly charged with disorderly conduct and interfering with a peace officer.
And so, the mayor who just five days ago rejected the Trump administration’s offer to send federal law enforcement to help control the city, is moving out of his building, according to Fox News.
In a Tuesday email to the other residents of his 114-unit high rise, Wheeler expressed his “sincere apologies for the damage to our home and the fear that you are experiencing due to my position,” adding “It’s unfair to all of you who have no role in politics or in my administration.”
Wheeler added that it would be “best for me and for everyone else’s safety and peace” if he left the two-bedroom unit he bought in 2017 for $840,000 according to Multnomah County property records.

Just one more beta-male in this current crisis who offers no solutions whatsoever, but is quite adept at casting blame. Then when **** really hits the fan, he runs. We have a nation full of these worthless cuckolds.
The worst is the nomadic cuck, who never changes his habits but simply moves on from environments he destroys, to destroy some new area with the same demented ideals.
This happens all over the US to formerly red states. I saw it happen in real time, first hand, to Colorado, then New Mexico, then Nevada. It’s maddening to watch. Texas is turning purple for the same reasons. These people effed up their own states, then move, and think voting for the exact same policies will make their new state home better.
If GOP doesn’t slam the airwaves with ads that show democrats and their hypocrisy, they deserve to lose!
Nancy got busted by a whistleblower and she wants an apology.
shouldn’t whistleblowers be protected?
The small business owner should be. Nancy is angry….
The owner is about to find out what a heavy hand the dems will bring to her business.
She is actually more depraved than I gave her credit for.
Nancy’s daughter said something like she’ll slit your throat.
Pelozi is behaving perfectly within the boundaries of reasonable behavior – for a COMMUNIST. Behaving exactly as expected for one of those.
My blood continues to boil over. The democrats have basically announced what they are going to do post election. What the hell are republicans, the RNC, and Trump going to do about it? They’ve had 4 years to put safeguards in place. All I hear are warnings and no action, just tweets about voter fraud. I do not identify for either party but lean and heavily right. Its deflating knowing that democrats are bullies and republicans are wussies. Now we’re 2 months away from election and crickets. Call me a debbie downer all you want, but reading the articles about what the dims plan on doing and now even Dan Bongino is worried. What can be done in this short time?
Yeah, I’m confounded as to what my action as a citizen is to be. Ok, so you want poll watchers. I don’t live in an area that’s going to cheat, but say I show up like those guys did in Miami and got thrown out, or like the people did in Memphis in that documentary about fraction magic- and got told to leave.
Let’s say I’m defiant and refuse to leave, and get the he11 beat out of me, arrested, and they still cheat on the count. What is that going to accomplish?
This is like waiting on a slow motion train wreck. You know the RNC isn’t going to help, the courts aren’t going to help. I’d like to hear from the Trump campaign what they recommend we do? Other than pray.
I feel disenfranchised already and the election hasn’t even happened yet. Trump has shown republicans how to stand up for themselves and they continue to refuse his lead. But Trump himself has done nothing other than tweet about the very real potential of massive voter fraud due to mail in voting. You’re absolutely right as a voter what the hell am I supposed to do as an individual to prevent this from happening?
just vote in person and pray … all you can do … stressing over it will only make you sick for the next 60 days …
SIgn up with your local or state Republican Party to make phone calls from the safety of your own home. OR use lists from your church, social organizations, whatever. Lots of Treepers did that for 2015 and it must have worked! The Trump team is much better organized this campaign; I have received DOZENS of emails asking for donations and participation.
Cheers!
All of us need to sign up as poll workers. I do not trust the GOPe to properly watch the polling stations, so We The People will have to do it. If you don’t mind getting harassed and possibly beaten up, I would recommend volunteering in the bad areas of town where the biggest fraud will occur.

Nothing. They were always going to steal the election. They knew the day after the 2016 election how many fake ballots they needed to get PA, MI. WI back and steal NC and FL. It would take a miracle for President Trump to win a second term.
You’ve nailed it. They don’t need to steal a national election. Just a few select counties in a few select states.
It certainly isn’t promising that California got away with having vote totals exceeding their enrollment numbers in every county of that state in 2016, and the RNC never, ever attempted to hold them accountable. Watch it happen all over like Stevie Wonder singing Sir Duke.
Operative words: “…the RNC never, ever attempted to hold them accountable.”
no it won’t take a miracle … they won’t be “finding” ballots in Pa … or very many other states …
Yeah I mean unless anyone has been living under a rock, it is clear the election is going to be pretty ugly.
My bet, if they don’t concede to President Trump, is that every single person in the power-structure on both parties will turn against him, regardless of how We the People voted. The RINOs and RNC only need a “tiny, ity, bity” sliver of doubt (not even reasonable doubt) to latch on to, and everyone and their Commie/RINO mommies will demand he leave. I don’t trust the JCOS, at all, either. Most of the high Military are Communists.
So we either have a recipe for civil warish scenario if We the People take it there, or if we don’t, then well; Kamalalala Harris will be George Soros’/the CCP’s and the EU’s President.
Simple as that. Again, that is IF, the Democrat party doesn’t concede.
You have ABSOLUTELY NO idea what you are talking about and who cares what your “guess” is?
Which State that went for President Trump last time and is doing this?
One I believe is Montana and the GOP is suing in court, I think the GOP is going to win that suite.
There are many fighting against voter fraud in blue states, it is tough go. There is not the publicity as it is point, point and point
Election administration is hard. The fraud is an obstacle but it is not insurmountable.
We are winning. we will have 4 more years of the President Trump the Great. But we need to keep focus on what we can do to win.
Johny5, take a deep breath, live your best life and be best! And vote in person and get your friends to vote on election day. Wash your hands often and wear the mask if you are so inclined. Enjoy the dog days of summer. We are in a Corn Moon Phase…
POTUS has this, I am sure. He knows who and what he is up against…He also loves us, “We The People”…He has promised to leave our guns alone and that America would not become a socialist nation. He wants people safe and employed. He also wants people to be healthy.
If we have thought to worry about something, his team is very likely already on top of the issue. Remember that POTUS once said he would not share battle plans (related to something in the ME, early in his term) That said, I worry too. But have faith.
Trump could hire Wayne Allan Root as one of his “speechwriters”!
This is brilliant!

The man had zero Trump paraphernalia on him as far as I could tell — the triggers were a reference to prayer and police . . .
Posters say this is Louisiana. LaFayette, to be specific. Wish people who post these vids would keep track of that kind of thing. seems pretty basic.
Anywhooo……. Vote RED. RemoveEveryDemocrat!

I would have paid for gas and then doused all of them in gasoline while holding my lighter.
No that would have been far more wrong than what they were doing.
The problem here was lack of police. The video ended before we see the outcome; hopefully police did arrive and clear away the rioters.
IMHO the driver was in his rights to get to the pump. He never threatened any of the rioters by inching forward. They had zero right to block his access and were extremely stupid by trying to do so.

C.D.C. Tells States How to Prepare for Covid-19 Vaccine by Early November
Sept. 2, 2020
Updated 4:18 p.m. ET
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has notified public health officials in all 50 states and five large cities to prepare to distribute a coronavirus vaccine to health care workers and other high-risk groups as soon as late October or early November.
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/02/health/covid-19-vaccine-cdc-plans.html
Pushing the envelope on vaccine approval
Fauci Says COVID Vaccine Trials Could End Early If Results Are Overwhelming
https://khn.org/news/dr-fauci-says-covid-vaccine-trials-could-end-early-if-results-are-overwhelming/
Early November, or by Election Day
Im thinking be in 4 weeks.
I was on the call with the CDC last week..
They will last 2 years (or will follow those patients out for 2 years) to monitor safety.
They will get an initial safety data read (and efficacy) but look for long term safety…so the effiCacy portion may end early but the safety portion will continue.
It will be mandatory before safety has been fully evaluated, correct? Great. Can’t wait. Thank you sooo much
Highlights to boot. So that was an extra lengthy unmasked appointment.

LOL. Hope he put these all over town.
Too bad someone didn’t meet her outside and toss a bucket of (harmless but gooey) vegetable oil on her head.
Polls smolls, but…?
Joe looks like a fool! Joe Hiden!
Nancy Pelosi doesn’t deserve to be speaker. Republicans should all be clamoring for her to step down just like she did in that video. How in the world can Democrat governors/mayors enforce masks when the leader of their party ignores the rules? Her claim of not knowing just says she is dumb, and that’s another reason for her to “step down”. They should also ask why anyone should believe anything Pelosi says after this disgusting hypocrisy.
All of us now can enter a store, take the mask off, and if approached, ask why you need to wear a mask and Nancy Pelosi doesn’t. No matter what they say it’s “well, Nancy ignored that”. Then you could blame their signs or some other lame thing. I went to 2 big stores today and as soon as i got in the door, dropped the mask below my chin and no one mentioned it. I even asked a worker where something was and they said nothing. If you are confronted ask them very nicely to go get you something explaining masks while you wait right there.(immediately walk away and continue shopping after they go)
This is a disaster for Democrats because it undermines every scam they have been trying to pull. Get in the door, stay 6 feet away and drop the mask. It’s time for this to end.
The only Republican with functioning testicles is in the White House.
do not demean nunes, stefanik, jordan et al, who are not like the slimy mcconnell, graham, burr et al. ,
In support of your position, however, Stefanik actually does have more functioning testosterone than the GOPe congresscritters.
and he is no useless Republican….he just borrowed their tent since they didn’t use it
Can anybody tell me why Pelosi always has that scarf or whatever it is around her neck??
Turkey neck.
Polls smolls, but ?….
Expert:
Trump has increased his support in ten counties where the vote margins were closest in the 2016 presidential election. In these swing counties*, which are concentrated in a swath that runs from the Philadelphia suburbs into the northeast region of the commonwealth, the race stands at 46% for Trump and 44% for Biden. Just over six weeks ago, Biden had a sizable 54% to 35% lead among voters in this key county grouping. Hillary Clinton won the aggregate vote in these ten counties by just over one percentage point four years ago.
>Snip<
In 12 congressional districts where the winning margin for either party was greater than 15 points in 2018, the Democrats lead by 8 points (51% to 43%). In the six most competitive districts, though, the Republicans lead by 10 points (50% to 40%). In July, the Democrats held small leads in both the safe seats (49% to 46%) and the competitive ones (48% to 43%).
“Republican gains on the generic ballot in competitive seats should worry Democrats.
So sorry if I missed the information as I am playing catch up this week after having missed several weeks of posts due to urgent family matters. What’s up with the initiative to educate the public on the crimes of Obamagate? I personally do my best every chance I get, but it all seems so quiet now with the Durham investigation. Is there still hope? I am not giving up!
I find it just bizarre. We have been waiting for justice since Sessions was AG. Week after week, month after month, year after year. With the MSM part of the corruption, there is no strong outcry about this two-tiered system of justice, with Trump supporters and conservatives on the wrong tier.
No pancakes have been served
It was actually Chelsea Clinton in the drawing room with a candelabra.
Sorry could not resist. Hope your family is well
Nancy Pelosi’s actions just highlights what should by now be obvious. She broke no laws, because the covid-19 mandates are all illegal and VOID. So do yourself a favor and loose the face condom and go back to living and shopping like a normal human being, and if enough of us discard these toothless mandates the sheep will follow. This is how we WIN.
Thank you to whoever is responsible for letting this disgusting fraud run free. This just made my day in a bad way. Cannot stand this guy. Why are all these criminals profiting from their criminal activities? Oh yeah, because they haven’t been treated like lawbreakers by our justice departments.

No, no, let her be…when your enemy is making a mistake, best to let them…IF the MOST AT RISK person on the planet…and MOST IMPORTANT TO LEFTISTS…it is RGB…if she deems COVID harmless enough for someone in her position to go maskless…EVERYBODY…and I mean EVERYBODY who wears a mask should recalibrate their fear gauge!!!
Oh, and stop Karening the rest of us.
This can be a gift that keeps on giving…especially in light of SanFranNan and being in a high risk group herself…another picture in the mosaic of the con they are trying to pull

San Francisco Hairdressers for Trump

These Democrats and progressives operate like old-school mafia. Maybe Ms. Kious should have asked how much she would have to pay for “protection”? Isn’t this conduct illegal? The investigation should be a slam dunk for the DOJ/FBI. I’m sure they’re on it.
They think nothing about abusing children.

I can’t help but think that they’ve waited this long to roll this sh*t out, knowing that many of the heroes who won are now passed. The fewer of them around, the easier it is to push this BS.
Yes, and they are trying to get people to look away from their current and present-day support for human trafficking and slavery of vulnerable people here and overseas
I’m not buying

Jack Cashill, who has a new book out — “Unmasking Obama: The Fight to Tell the True Story of a Failed Presidency” — discusses his book and the weaponized CIA with Jason Goodman today.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcBNU9ht6a8
Last nite in N. FL. a Biden Campaign ad played on TV. He listed several great things he was going to accomplish. One of which was/is ….” a Federally Mandated Mask Law”….
Now THAT is NAZI stuff right there. My county is fairly relaxed about this stuff, and that’s the way I want keep it.
So just now on FNC they’re reporting that Biden has said today that he now understands his plan to “Mandate Masks” is Un- Constitutional.
What an A$$.
Remember when Barr first became AG? He said he was intent on examining the ‘predicate’ for the fake FISA Warrants approved by the fake ‘where do I sign’ FISC judges.
The ‘predicate’ for the fake warrants is supposed to be in the Woods file, required to back up the spy warrant filing to the FISC. Barr assigned the fierce-looking Durham to investigate the ‘predicate. THE FIRST THING AN INVESTIGATOR WOULD DO is to get the Woods file.
But it is just now revealed that the Woods file is “missing”. It may never have existed. It isn’t on any backup files, due to incompetence or fraud. The FISC irresponsibly never asked to see it before signing a Warrant to spy on the President and the entire Republican Party. Mueller even fabricated a ‘new, after the fact” Woods file to cover up. (no need to ‘replace’ a non-existant file to keep whatever ‘evidence’ mueller had, and call it the Woods file without telling anyone or labelling it NEW REPLACEMENT so everyone knew it was not the real one).
So, what has Durham been doing, if he didn’t even look for the Woods file when he first started a LONG TIME AGO?
Durham isn’t going to do shit!
“The FISC CORRUPTLY never asked to see it before signing a Warrant to spy on the President and the entire Republican Party.”
Fixed it for you
Thanks QCM, my bad.
Woods file???-They don’t need no stinking Woods file.
Horowitz says the FBI could not locate that supporting documentation, known as a Woods File, in four of the 29 cases. In three of those instances, the IG says, the FBI did not know whether the files ever existed.
In every case in which the FBI could locate the Woods File, the IG found significant problems with the documentation.
“Our testing of FISA applications to the associated Woods Files identified apparent errors or inadequately supported facts in all of the 25 applications we reviewed,” the inspector general says.
“At this time we have identified an average of about 20 issues per application reviewed, with a high of approximately 65 issues in one application and less than 5 issues in another application.”
In those 25 applications with a Woods File, the review identified facts that were not supported or not corroborated by documentation in the file, or inconsistent with the supporting documentation.
https://www.npr.org/2020/03/31/824510255/justice-department-ig-finds-widespread-problems-with-fbis-fisa-applications
Creepy Wray and Bondo-hide-the-FBI-criminality Barr now recommend ‘fixes’ to the FISA procedure.
“We didn’t mean it before when we said we would create Woods files to back up the fake Warrant requests with evidence. But This time we really mean it. You have to hide the lack evidence better.”
We need to cover for Durham, who now has to explain why he can find a ‘predicate’ to excuse our criminal coup attempt, even though Durham was looking for the ‘predicate, but apparently didn’t even know meuller hid from him that there wasn’t any original Woods evidence file for a ‘predicate’.” Some ‘investigation….’
Was reading different twitter posts that were saying they have discovered that in California residents who are registered to vote have all had their status changed from voting in person to voting by mail. I asked a relative who lives there about that and they said yes, they heard the same thing, and shared this link with me for residents in California to check their status, which should also provide ways to change it from mail-in ballot voting to in-person voting if people want to change so they can vote in person.

PDJT says he is working on getting Big10 football back.
Not likely with governors like whitmer and pritzger pressure, but with 2 big, very loyal universities in michigan (wolverines and spartans) who see no reason that healthy kids can’t play (even with empty or ¼-full stadia) for TV, that is a lot of potential PDJT votes just for trying.
Wish he would work on putting pressure on governors so WE ALL get our lives back and not just frickin’ football players!!!

How could PDJT ignore chicago, which only protects its mayor, while letting everyone else be subjected to looting, shooting, riots, mayhem and destruction (‘they are insured, so it is OK’)
Chicago aka “the machine” more corrupt and longest democrat stronghold (Obama, Jarrett, Emanuel, Daley, etc) than most, probably have special plans for Chicago ?
This will stand for a minute until they find a leftist judge to put an injunction on it. The screaming fits will be fun to watch though. I’m sure it will increase in volume as the days go on.
Good for you Mr. President.
