Trump has presided over the mostly avoidable deaths of more than 200,000 Americans so he needed an even bigger number to throw at Joe Biden in the “debate.” He found one and by golly it seems that Joe Biden presided over the deaths of more than 300,000 vets in the VA hospital system. Wow! Except, of course, it is a complete falsehood. Just one more way Trump dishonors the “losers” and “suckers” who served. Ho Hum.
An interesting editorial regarding empathy v. antipathy in Trump world.
Though most, if not all, Democratic leaders have expressed heartfelt wishes and prayers for a good recovery for the president and his wife, there is outrage, feigned mostly, against a few activists who wish otherwise.

All the best people.
Trump really knows how to pick them. Take Stephanie Winston Wolkoff. Her PR fund got $26 million from the Trump Inauguration Committee and she spent about a year as a “friend” and confidant of First Lady, Melania Trump. They had frequent phone conversations where Melania had a chance to vent by speaking confidentially with a friend. Too bad that Melania did not know that her “friend” was secretly taping their personal conversations and now has a year’s worth. She has started making them public to promote her tell all book.
I will not quote Melania’s salty language nor the not-family-friendly things she had to say after her return from that child internment center wearing her infamous jacket with “I Really Don’t Care. Do U?” on the back. The point I would make is the sleazy kind of people in the Trump orbit. We were promised he would bring in all the best people. We are still waiting.
Marx on Christianity, Judaism, and Evolution/Race
There was a comment the other day in one of the discussion threads here that claimed Christianity and Communism have important similarities. Paul Kengor, a political science professor at Grove City College, begs to differ. His article, linked above, explains.
Continue reading “Marx on Christianity, Judaism, and Evolution/Race”Both Moody’s and Goldman Sachs predict good things for the economy if Biden wins in a Democratic sweep.

These two non-partisan and usually credible economic organizations give the lie to Trump’s ravings about Biden’s “radical” ideas destroying the economy.
From Moody’s : “The economic outlook is strongest under the scenario in which Biden and the
Democrats sweep Congress and fully adopt their economic agenda.”
Of course, this is not the last word. Economics is not called the “dismal science” for nothing. But such analyses by respected people is clear evidence that Trump’s the sky-will-fall-on-your-head-if-Biden-wins hooey is not serious and should not be taken seriously.
Regarding the WH news that probably all of us here went to bed last night knowing, all I can honestly say is – ‘Interesting, huh?’
No further commentary this morning from me.
Here is some real election fraud for you this morning.
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/01/jacob-wohl-jack-burkman-charged-voter-suppression-42465
Targeting heavily Democratic voting areas in Detroit and other cities, these fellows organized robo calls telling mainly black voters that they risked “The Man” coming after them if they voted by mail. The voters were threatened with visits from the police, debt collectors and doctors forcing them to take unwanted vaccinations if they mailed in their ballots. Spreading lies to disrupt an election is a felony in Michigan.
Unbeknownst to the perps, the state’s aggressive Attorney General had a running task force aimed at catching criminals using robo calls to prey on the vulnerable. Her system captured the evidence needed to prosecute and she has made it clear that she will do so to the full extent of the law.
Too bad the Republican Party has to resort to cheating to have any chance of winning. But that is what happens when you field lame candidates with outdated ideas.
More voter suppression!
I guess Texas is a lot closer to turning Blue than even the most optimistic Democrat imagined.
Republican Governor Abbott has issued a brazenly partisan order to make it harder for voters to deliver their absentee ballots to election officials. By his edict, the existing program of having ballot drop boxes at convenient locations is cancelled. The hardest hit area is Harris County (Houston) which yesterday had twelve such locations. If the Governor’s edict takes effect, that will be reduced to one TODAY. Harris County is home to 4.5 million people and is about the geographic size of the state of Rhode Island. And now only one place to deliver your ballot!? And, of course, it traditionally votes Democratic. There is no valid reason for this panicky last minute change to the arrangements that had already been communicated to the public. None whatsoever. Simply disgraceful!

The Truth About Today’s Anarchists
I found this article through a link at National Review Online. I like the way NRO editorializes the content, but considering the audience here in this venue, I thought it best to source the original.
One can make too much of the fact that even the NYT finds Antifa to be both organized and seditious. So, I won’t make too much of it.
As promotion for Tidewater Forum, however, I would like to point out that we reviewed the same CrimethInc.com article the NYT mentions, but we did it back in June, at least three months before the Gray Lady. Tidewater Forum is the vanguard of the emerging “intelligent world order.” Eat our gas, MSM!
Donald Trump is not a racist?
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/22/trump-attacks-ilhan-omar-420267
The grace and dignity with which Omar responded to Trump’s racist attacks is the only redeeming feature of yet another sorry episode starring the inimitable Donald Trump.
“She is telling us how to run OUR country” says Trump, forgetting, it seems, that she is a member of Congress who clobbered his party’s candidate 78% – 22%.
Leading chants of “Lock her up” Desperate Donnie – seeing it all turn to dust and New York State police waiting outside the White House – turns to what he does best – stirring up hatred and division.
