A quick program note. Because of work obligation this Friday’s livestream podcast will be at 11 AM EST rather than the normal 3 PM EST. due to work commitments.

Apparently that Trump Economy is so bad that we have to not only work this Friday but I’m going in early the next two days as well to keep up.

So watch for me at 11 AM EST rather than 3 PM because at three I’ll be on the road heading for work.

Speaking of being on the road I’m in a pickle.

I have a 1999 Buick LeSabre. About a month ago the wipers stopped resting in the well as they should. As it was NBD I let it go till I had time and my mechanic ordered a new wiper motor. Turned out the motor didn’t have the pulse board on it which regulates where the wipers stop.

He’s been unable to find one and thanks to the rules of inspection in MA unless I get that replaced by the end of next month my car will fail inspection.

I like Buick LeSabres. This is the 3rd one I’ve had in my life but they stopped making em in 2005, so if you have access to the pulse board for a 1999 Buick LeSabre or a working wiper motor for a 1999 Buick LeSabre with a pulse board on it I’d be very interested

Reinoehl was so confident of his innocence that he didn’t care to stand trial or swear out his story to a judge and jury.

It seems to me that the Democrat / Media / Antifa left figured out every day he was free on the run was harmful to their narrative, and did something about it.

When the party still had Dixiecrats, Biden hewed in that direction; when it needed to bolster its center, Biden became centrist; and now that the party has caved to its progressives, Biden ran as progressive’s progressive — in the primaries.

The driving principle of Joe Biden’s political career has been the personal wealth and advancement of himself and his family, his positions are just the clothes he wears at any given time to be changed as needed.

The result is that the press looks even more ludicrous and craven and mendacious than before, and that’s quite a feat.

I’m really starting to think the media believes this is their last shot at keeping whatever power or influence they still have and have gone all in.

Yesterday I came across the first believable plan I’ve read: a couple of days before the first debate, Biden will be “accidentally” exposed to COVID and will, with deep regret, have to quarantine himself.

Every time Joe ( “Vote for me because I’m the most electable” ) Biden opens his mouth in a debate with Trump will mean more votes the Democrats will have to create out of think air to win.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has charged 19 illegal aliens with engaging in acts of voter fraud in North Carolina, which is shaping up to be a battleground state again in the 2020 presidential election.

Ironically the same people who (rightly) insist that corporations go all in to influence laws for the sake of their wealth and power, also somehow insist that even though power over Trillions of dollars in federal spending at stake, voter fraud is a myth.

The Trump administration announced another foreign policy victory on Friday: after U.S.-sponsored talks, Orthodox Christian Serbia and its breakaway Islamic province of Kosovo, who fought bitter and bloody war in the 1990s, complete with crimes against humanity and war crimes tribunals, agreed to normalize economic ties, and Serbia agreed to move its Israeli embassy to Jerusalem, while Kosovo and Israel both agreed to mutual recognition.

This comes on the heels of U.S.-led negotiations that saw the United Arab Emirates agreeing to recognize Israel last month,and provides another foreign policy boost for the Trump Administration as the U.S election draws near. The first direct flight from Israel to the UAE landed just last week, with the American delegation led by Trump’s advisor (and son-in-law) Jared Kushner and NSA head Robert C. O’Brien.

Biden, on the other hand, who has been the Senator from Delaware since 1972, has been a disaster in foreign policy from the jump. Just ask former Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who wrote in his memoir that Biden “has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.”

From opposing Vietnamese refugees settling in the U.S. in the 1970s, to supporting the Soviet Union-sponsored “nuclear freeze” in the 1980s, to opposing President Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative, to voting against Operation Desert Storm that liberated Kuwait from Saddam Hussein’s grasp in 1991, to supporting the Iraq invasion of 2003 but then opposing the Surge in 2007, to even opposing President Obama’s operation to kill Osama bin Laden, it is truly a remarkable run of bad and foolish decisions.

The Vietnamese refugee issue is particularly galling. After the fall of Saigon the influx of Vietnamese refugees, Biden argued the U.S. should ignore the plight of the desperate South Vietnamese who assisted the American war effort, even as the Communist North Vietnamese Army overran the south.

Many of those refugees would settle in Orange County, California, where your humble author would count some of these “boat people” as good friends growing up in the 1970s and 1980s, and, not coincidental to their treatment by Democrats, where the Vietnamese of “Little Saigon” would become a unique part of the Republican Orange Wall.

Forty-five years of failure against 3 ½ years of ever-growing victories. And the polls say this race is close?
