On fire in the third quarter!.
As a one issue voter, the Economy, my preference is clear. Orange has presided over one of the most robust economic performances I have seen. Mostly because of his emphasis on curtailing and scaling back onerous regulations. Not cutting taxes for the rich as many contend. This should be a cake walk. Alas, the American public thinks differently. As was painfully proven to me in 2012: Obama had shown himself to be a weak ( and uncaring) steward of our Economy. Romney was way superior on that front and the American voters reelected BA. Might happen again and that is a pity. But that’s what I get for caring about one issue:)

On the economy it isn’t even close. The only reason stock pickers are bullish on Biden (when they are) is because they think more government support will happen.
Trump is waaaay better for the real economy.

Well, there’s this. The level of ignorance about basic personal finance is astounding. Of course Now This exploits this for political gain. Ridiculous.

This is why I yell at the screen when I see ads touting the Park Avenue / Wall Street versus Scranton “line.”
All Donald Trump can see from Park Avenue is Wall Street.
He thinks the economy is doing well if the Dow Jones is doing well.
Believe it or not, Mr. President, most Americans don't live off the stock market.

Joe Biden is only interested in allowing Wall Street to take advantage of cheap overseas labor. Wall Street knows this. I’m normally a free trade advocate, but I’m on board with making sure China isn’t stealing our intellectual property, stops dumping cheap goods into the markets, trying to get them to stop manipulating their currency, and reducing American dependence on quasi-slave labor.
Biden’s COVID / economic plan is garbage. We’re in for a rough fall / winter because of COVID. BUT, death rates have held relatively steady (they are going up because cases are rising).
Probably the best way to see the declining severity of Covid (CFR) is the global daily case vs deaths graph.
Since April, daily cases have risen 5x while daily deaths have *fallen* pic.twitter.com/e3DxkIEaeH

Lockdowns do not work. Biden deciding to lock down the economy again would be a disaster. We’d lose an entire generation.
Just out: Depression among U.S. teen girls doubled from 2009 to 2019 and was up 74% among teen boys, according to just-released data from the gov't administered National Survey of Drug Use and Health. What does this mean? pic.twitter.com/H09Pmo7Bss

The sad thing is, the younger generations will believe the media and blame the GOP / Trump. Oh well.

With market futures falling, looks to me like those pulling the levers are betting against Trump or making sure he doesn’t win.
Analyst report I read predicts another 6.5% fall in the Dow before the next stop point. At least a 10% fall less than a week before the election? Hmmmm
Me thinks the Swamp is deeper and wider than I ever suspected.

Well they didn’t hide the 33% uptick in GDP.
Wait, yes they did. CNN and msnbc didn’t even report on that nugget in prime time. This is getting unbelievable. Not even reporting on basic economic metrics because of political considerations. Pravda it is.

What do they do after the election? Their audience will be surprised, disappointed and will be wondering how this could happen a second time. Not at all good descriptors for a business’s consumers. They’ll likely be asking themselves how they can be rightly informed going forward.
It will be interesting to see if Bezos has learned any lessons from his ownership of the Washington Post that he brings to CNN. The Post was in a transitioning media market but had a valuable brand when he acquired it. AT&T/Zucker have ruined CNN. It’s a full turnaround candidate now. Where does he position them and who fronts for him? He can’t stay with Cuomo, Lemon, and domain experts like Gupta and Struzck can he?

The sheeple won’t know, won’t care. Trump out–good. Biden in–good. Look how fast the economy turned around after he was elected. But they’ll still blame Trump for the worldwide resurgence of the virus. . . .

Well, maybe not? Brandon is Billy Conn, and in the roll of Joe Louis-
A trump vaccine as the last best hope
inflation
empty shelves
a”magnificent” withdrawal from Afghanistan with US citizens stranded
oil prices
illegal immigration and drug smuggling at an open boarder
reduced public health and safety services attributable to clumsy public policy-mandates that ignore naturally occurring antibodies
and coming soon…winter heating bills.
Gridlocked DEMOCRATS in Congress
a transportation Secretary on paternity leave
These stories don’t need coverage in the news cycle to be FELT.
And the real hoot, one side of the aisle has opened Pandora’s Box with decades selling victimhood, selling avoidance of responsibility, selling government solutions, selling their ability to deliver “solutions”. That dog won’t hunt.

Yeah. I will leave the test post up. If you ever have a post disappear, just post there. Every now and then posts with a lot of links get nabbed by a spam filter I can’t turn off. Unless I check it, they stay there until somebody mentions it.
Rocky hated this bug to the point he thought I was censoring him. I tried everything to find how to allow any post but couldn’t figure it out.
