I’ve seen people sharing a video of Sen. Mike Lee (who now has COVID) hugging people at the Rose Garden ACB announcement ceremony.
Lee tells me that he, and everyone he knew at the event, tested negative *that day,* as a condition for admittance. Seems like an important fact.
2:26 PM · Oct 3, 2020
Benson goes on to say they used Rapid Tests which aren’t as accurate though….

@guypbenson
Yes, everyone, I know rapid tests aren’t 100% accurate. I think they should have worn masks & socially distanced in a large group. I also think it’s understandable why people might let guard down at an event where everyone tested negative, even though that metric isn’t foolproof.

We are eight months into this pandemic. If we were still in week two or three, I would agree. But we’re now in week 32!
Human beings are social creatures. We need human contact to survive. This is a fact. Without human contact, we quickly grow hopeless and despondent. This is built in to our survival. It is not a fluke.
So you can take your social distance and face diapers and shove ’em where the sun doesn’t shine. I would rather take my chances and get the virus than continue to live like this.

FOX NEWS: Steve Scalise says coronavirus testing on Capitol Hill has been offered to Nancy Pelosi, but she turned it down
3:09 PM · Oct 3, 2020
Hmmmm….cuz she knows she wasn’t exposed??
I believe she refused to implement the testing on capitol Hill…. not to be tested.
Cause she knows about the results overwhelmingly false positive.
Or, are all the dems taking the HCQ that they scared/kept everyone else from taken?

DISGUSTING: Democrats are now sharing this edited picture depicting President Trump in a coffin, in light of his recent COVID-19 diagnosis.
These people are sick!

And you’re a ROLCON for posting it here, along with all the other dubious comments from you on the previous page.
If you are going to troll the CTH, you need to get better at it.
I think it’s good to know what the left is up to, but I can’t bear to seek it out.
For that reason, I don’t mind someone posting about some of the horrible things that the left is doing outside of my bubble. It helps me to be more informed about what needs to be prayed about.
That image, and similar diabolical offerings, was trending on twitter all yesterday probably today as well.
There are some troubled people (imo) running around all over the place…and they show up hiding behind their keyboards.
Honestly I truly can not imagine what gets into someone to wish ill and or death on any human being regardless. I do know it can’t be healthy. Actually it’s toxic.
Rep Vernon Jones gives best wishes to Trump outside the hospital.
He posts wrong hospital in tweet, but corrects it below that. Really good video.
Some humor at the end.
Just watched a non attack attack ad from Biden. Talking about how Trump has failed our country on COVID & and at every basic level.
“I’m joe Biden and I approve this message” as I lie and say I’m not airing these ads.
SMH
It was the first thing I saw today on my television. I posted about this early this morning. I know the ad you’re talking about. It’s been running all day.
Biden will probably explain it away by saying it’s not a negative ad, but a comparative ad, even though there’s nothing comparative about it. It’s classic trash talk. And they will get away with it.
Biden’s ads on the radio (here in Northern Nevada, Northern California market) are outright nasty, accusing the President of killing 200,000 Americans with this virus, ignoring all the “experts”, not doing anything to help find solutions – nasty.

@ScottPresler
We are making history.
This is our defining moment.
We are the #UNSILENT majority.
That kid never quits
Definitely looks like Hope Hicks was the target…
so far based on Timeline, the rally in Duluth with 45 in the cold makes most sense!
Covid 19 follows like the flu just more deadly for older people…strain is being analyzed by military scientists so 45 will know who targeted Hope and how it was done…most likely something implanted on purse that dissolved over time ensuring maximum exposure on AF1…
Chris Wallace throwing out Debate Timeline is definite red herring…
Got the best estimate Time from exposure to symptom onset from latest CDC COVID-19 parameter estimates.
It is ~ 6days. That would be consistent with exposure at or around the 9/26 Great American Comeback Rally and peaceful protest at AvFlight Harrisburg in Middletown, PA.
Reference:
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scenarios.html#box1
See table 2.
I still think that it is much more likely that PDJT and his support staff were deliberately infected by a traitor within his health team, specifically someone among the group that is performing the daily Covid testing.
They have presumably not changed any of the protocols that have been implemented to keep the president and staff from getting infected, so why would a large group of them all get infected on the same day, which just happens to be handy in putting a damper on the re-election campaign?
As Sundance pointed out in the article on Christie getting covid:
“A strange and curious outbreak when we consider all prior group events with POTUS, and the same set of protocols being followed, and yet no prior issues…. until October.”
There are no coincidences in politics.
this was caught very early…48 hours…
Hope Hicks was most likely targeted…”male honeytrap” most likely
Even if a totally irresistible secret agent stud, dripping with COVID-19 viruses was sent to seduce Hope Hicks, which resulted in Ms. Hicks getting infected, it is extremely unlikely she was able to infect so many people in the White House.
According to the CDCs latest estimates, the probability of an asymptomatic carrier infecting other people is 50%. This means there is a one in two chance, she would infect one other person.
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scenarios.html#box1
Unless Ms. Hicks is in the habit of French kissing all the people that she interacts with, both male and female, on a daily basis, it is unlikely she could have caused the outbreak seen in the White House.
No, the most likely scenario is that one or more of the medical professionals doing the daily testing deliberately or inadvertantly infected the group that tested positive.
It is also unlikely it was done by accident, if standard medical protocols were followed.
This looks like it was a biological attack on our president and his support staff.
Why is Pelosi refusing to be tested? Could it be that the test kits are infected with COVID-19 and she knows it?

We may never know; if around the time of the debate prep, it could have been someone as innocuous as a waiter or maitre’d bringing in lunch, or snacks, an elevator operator,
really, anyone.
How detailed is this tracing anyway, what if it was an infected person who purposely did not have a cell phone on them?
UW discarded 10,000 tests kits last April because yes, they were contaminated.
So, for those who doubt…yes, a lab can indeed determine whether tests are pre-tainted.

I am calling it, this was a DEM October Surprise, and as far as I am concerned dems are culpable of attempted murder, treason, assassination, and they deserve the worst punishment possible.

No dems have tested positive. I expect some will claim they are “positive” to help in the cover-up. Those that do should be marked and punished.
One Giant Thank YOU to all the people who are out today at the hospital showing support for our great President So wish I could be there
God Bless You President Trump and all of your family and admins that are not feeling well today
My Prayers go out to all of you and hope that all get well soon..
dems hoping for the worst with PDJT is literally Anti-American. dems outside hospital shouting jeers at PDJT is evil. dems not willing to discuss why they are this way is… actually part of their coverup that they have botched just like their failed coup.
If any dem leader cared about this country they would show the leadership to try and heal our national dysfunction. What a great time to effort a reconciliation due to PDJT positive test. I dont think it will happen
No, it won’t happen. And we’re not the only ones noticing. More and more #WalkAways.

More events is better than none for Biden.
But I think Biden supporters already know what Biden is and will vote for him based on what he represents.
Yes, the naked links with no context are extremely inconsiderate to others reading the thread. They should be treated as spam by Ad Rem and jettisoned.
I just saw a sight here in the Bay Area that was the equivalent of a Sasquatch sighting, or maybe the Loch Ness monster or even a unicorn. It was a Trump Truck caravan going down HWY 4 heading east through Martinez. Trucks with banners, signs and flags as far as I could see. Made want to cry for a brief moment. I followed them for a ways.
Does anybody know of any gatherings in the Bay Area for the vigil tonight?
Yesterday someone posted this, you can click through and events in all of the states are listed:

Deep behind enemy lines, cut off from supplies, and realizing you are not really alone. But like for Nathan Hale, it will not be easy.
This just seems too convenient to be anything other than planned in advance and coordinated.
And we see why the “controlled opposition” RINOS are proceeding under voluntary appearances, “ “”voluntary” cooperation can stop at any time. Then it takes time to put a subpoena in place and it the entity appearing must be given notice.
We will likely hear nothing from him until after the election at this point.

I always think of Dems when I think of Staten Island cuz the last time I got off the Ferry there, we were dumped in a run-down little town center that was filled w/ tables of people signing up Dem Voters.

Australia to join the Quad opposing disinformation from authoritarians
Excerpt:
Australia, the United States, Japan and India will agree to jointly counter disinformation campaigns by authoritarian states and look to secure supplies of critical minerals and technology, in a bid to reduce their reliance on Chinese technology.
Australian Foreign Minister Marise Payne has warned that the Indo-Pacific region is under “unprecedented pressure” as she prepares for a trip to Tokyo next week where she will meet with her counterparts from the US, Japan and India as part of the “Quad” alliance.
China has acted angrily to the meeting of the Quad – a growing security and diplomatic alliance between the four countries. Beijing has previously slammed the grouping as an attempt at “containment of China”.
Senator Payne will also meet Japan’s new Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga for the first time, after his predecessor Shinzo Abe stepped down last month for health reasons.

I had quite the experience in Weaverville, NC today. I was doing a flag wave and all these Dems started harassing me; calling me vile names; and attempting to get me to leave. Two of them screamed right in my face; I did not have a mask on and they did. Then some man came up and tried to stand right in front of me with a hand made sign that said wear a mask…I asked him to stand 6 feet away and he wouldn’t he got right in my face and called me vile names and at one point touched me. I told him I would file assault charges against him if he touched me again. Just before I left he told me he would spit on me and call the police and I guess tell them I had done something to him.
To be honest, there are at least 50% Trump supporters driving by. Finally I left as I was thirsty and hot. I went to the GOP headquarters and picked up some signs and told them about what happened to me. I campaigned for Trump on Main St in 2016 and never experienced anything like this.
So, after I left the GOP office I drove back to Weaverville and I couldn’t believe it; there were three people standing there with Trump flags. I parked and went up to them and thanked them for being there. It turns out the couple was across the street and saw that man harassing me. So, after I left the harasser crossed the street and the good man said he spoke to him. I said, what did you say, and he said I would rather not repeat it!
So, we exchanged phone numbers and we will call each other if we plan on going back down town for flag waving. They said I shouldn’t go alone, but I will not be cowered. Now is the time for courage.
It’s easy to see what it will be like if Biden wins…complete fascism…violence…terror.
God bless you for your courage! We all must do our part, even if all we can do is pray, it makes a difference!
Must’ve been the commie trash from down the road in TrAsheville harrassing you.
Actually, Weaverville is like a mini-asheville…

I just got a solicitation in the mail from Nancy Pelosi and the DNC. I live in Montana.
It was filled with all kinds of fantastical lies about Trump. This was the first sentence: “Someone had to stand up to the bully in the White House and say, no, you cannot abuse your power, you cannot abandon our allies, and you cannot do Vladimir Putin’s bidding from the Oval Office” It went downhill from there.
There was a checkoff box for how much to donate and a postage paid envelope.
So … I rifled through the kids(all grown up now) closet and dusted off the Monopoly game and pulled a 1$ bill from the tray. I wrote MAGA across the bill and stuffed it inside the postage paid envelope. If I understand correctly, when the PO scan this, the DNC will be charged.
Just doing my part to save America from the bullies.
Trump should do a short video of himself in his hospital bed wearing suit and big red tie.
“Hey, just wanted to let you know I’m on the job like usual. No worries. Have a great weekend.”
End with a thumbs up
People would love it!
He already released a video an hour ago. Sitting at a table, not in bed!
I didn’t see it before posting
Thanks!

First time I’ve seen Trump without a tie other than on a golf course.
Robert,
Exactly my observation.
Only second video – I think I saw one video some where in Nevada when President Trump was without a tie.

Right Side Broadcasting just went live (8:45 p.m. eastern) Apparently they are down the street from the Walter Reed hospital as they said there had been a suspicious package in the road in front of the hospital so the police had cordoned off the area. Later they were informed it was an innocent reason, a person dropped her backpack while listening to Joy Villa performing and so that suspicious package situation ended.
Here is the link to their live feed:

From honor roll to flunking: Tehachapi families protest virtual learning
By DARLA A. BAKER
[email protected] Oct 1, 2020
TEHACHAPI — Tehachapi Unified School District parents and students are up in arms over the school board’s decision to continue with virtual learning at least through Dec. 18 because of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s latest guidelines for reopening schools under the COVID-19 tier system.
In response to the board’s Tuesday decision made during a Zoom meeting, more than 100 TUSD students showed up at Tehachapi High School on Thursday with Chromebooks in hand for a peaceful, but organized protest that they called The Chromebook Sit-in.
Although the students came with the intent to attend their classes and work off the school’s Wi-Fi while sitting on the grass or inside their parents’ cars in surrounding parking lots, it became apparent that the signal was too weak.
Once honor roll students, the parents of at least 87 TUSD students of the Reopening Tehachapi Schools Facebook page have reported that their children are now failing key classes for myriad reasons.
And it’s only October.
Among the protesters was Gloria Estes, whose son is a high school freshman. Last year, Estes’ son earned all A’s at a local charter school, but she recently found out he is receiving all D’s and F’s.
“I received no notification,” said Estes.
Part of the problem is the learning platforms assigned to the students, Estes said.
“I have been kicked off four times and was no longer recognized by the system in the first six weeks… Parents cannot access information about their children, only the kids can… We are given zero training on any of their websites,” Estes said.
In addition, Estes said her son is at his computer 12 hours a day, six days a week, without breaks, in an attempt to bring up his grades to passing.
TUSD Superintendent Stacey Larson-Everson and Board President Jeff Kermode did not respond for comment as of Thursday afternoon. However, the superintendent and president sent a letter to TUSD parents dated Wednesday, which reads in part:
“…The District acknowledges that Virtual Learning is not ideal and has imposed a hardship on many of our students and families. We are striving to do the best that we can given our current, very challenging reality. Because Kern County remains in the most restrictive ‘Purple Tier’ of California’s re-opening framework, schools are not allowed to open for in-person instruction without receiving a waiver. We are permitted to bring back small cohorts of students with special needs… and are in the process of finalizing plans to do so.”
The board will meet next Oct. 13.
Out Thursday on the THS grass, Carrie Kennison, the mother of four TUSD students in kindergarten through eighth grade, said three of her four children are failing all their classes.
“I feel like our kids are being failed by this program. They are frustrated and they cry all the time. They don’t want to do school, they don’t want to go to school… they want to be in school,” said Kennison.
Cassie Smith, 16, a junior at THS went from A’s and B’s last year to a failing grade in her geometry class.
“I have no clue what is going on in there,” said Smith, who does school work seven days a week. “The whole Canvas platform is really confusing because each teacher has it set up differently. I have a hard time finding assignments, and due dates for classes. It’s a disaster. It feels 10 times more stressful. School is already stressful in itself.”
Also protesting was Alicia Hernandez, the mother of five daughters, three of whom are still in school. Although all three are still getting good grades, Hernandez said she is particularly concerned about her 16-year-old, who is a junior in high school and earned a 4.33 GPA last year.
“She is the epitome of a great student,” Hernandez said of her daughter.
In an effort to keep up with her school work, Hernandez said her daughter sits down at her computer at 9 a.m. seven days a week, and does not complete her studies until 3 a.m. the following morning.
“She is crying over it every night, and she is utterly exhausted,” Hernandez said. “It’s ridiculous. These kids have worked so hard their whole life. She is still getting good grades, but it is costing her so much emotionally and physically.”

—–>>> So I was listening to Linda Ronstadt one of my bedrock favorites. I watched old youtube videos of her from back in the 70s.
I recalled the thinking about that magical California as I saw it from the east coast. Later on Linda was well known as lefty and I’m sure she’d be no fan of Trump now. I’m really bad at my ear picking out words in songs. So even though I’ve listened to this song countless times, I looked up the lyrics: “…And I’ve been from Tucson to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonopah…”
That’s how I found this town and the news story about how politics are flushing kid’s education down the toilet. I AM CERTAIN that this this town is doing much better than urban district were the kids are probably doing a lot of nothing.
In Kern County – wasn’t that where those two doctors were from that said the data didn’t warrant the response? Especially so in Kern County they asserted. Gee, I wonder why they are on the most restricted list?

Whoops, I didn’t mean that as a reply.
What is Mark Meadows game. Somebody said he said that the next 48 hours are crucial. What for I wonder?
NP; I read it anyway, it was very good. Even Californians are revolting; excellent news.
Meadows spoke “off the record” right after the President’s 11 doctors spoke, and said the President was in bad shape before going to Walter Reed, basically contradicting the doctors.
Why did Meadows do that? Meadows is sketchy, imo, and has given no reason to trust him any more than Gen Kelly or John Bolton. imo
It’s very Sally Yates of him because his play here has a very short shelf life if Trump bounces back.
I am questioning if he really said that or if he is just being scapegoated. With all the lying going on it is hard to know what to believe.
Hugh Hewitt, in an interview on Radio Talkers radio show this morning, said Wallace really detested Pres Trump, so whatever was said, Wallace was up to no good.
I joined in prayer at 8:45 pm with millions of other Americans to ask Christ to intercede and heal President Trump. I prayed that God’s will is that President Trump continue as President to His glory and return our land to honor Him. May God have mercy on our land and our President.
Psalm 97
10 Hate evil, you who love the Lord,
Who preserves the souls of His godly ones;
He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
11 Light is sown like seed for the righteous
And gladness for the upright in heart.
12 Be glad in the Lord, you righteous ones,
And give thanks [a]to His holy name.
This quote from Scott Adams is so true:
“Republicans believe in forgiveness for your actual sins and Democrats believe in hating you for imagined sins. That difference has emerged as the major theme in this country”.

Thanks.
People see in polls what they want. I know Schweikart looks at these things closely, but wasn’t he a 2018 red-wave guy?
He was a red wave guy but didn’t anticipate the fraud at that level.
He has lots of great info IMHO.
This poll was spot on in 2016!
