...isolation is horrible and abnormal and is hurting [kids] badly. Not mention the effects on their physical health. Porch, This is so true. It hurts children and it is damaging to the overall health of the population. We haven't seen the cumulative effect of it yet because everyone is focused on the election and covid19. Thank you so much for your recommendation to try a Kindle keypad. It arrived yesterday and is charging now. I look forward to using it!

I've been scrolling so much on my Kindle tablet that my elbow is flaring up. Motrin will help, but I won't be able to keep up with these fast moving events and tonight's debate. I'll have to check in later.😬 Congratulations, Dr.J and Mrs.J!!! ❤

Oh, yes! Happy Birthday, Narciso! 🎂 🎉🎉🎉

Whatever Stahl was trying to accomplish in that interview with that whiny tone and repetitive accusations, she failed. Of course, neatly edited with someone prefacing each segment with the CBS version of events is what most people will see. The President has broken new ground by showing the unedited version of the interview in advance of the CBS hatchet job. I'm glad he did.

After reading the statement of the Biden's businesses partner in the New York Post article, it would seem everyone is running for cover. I don't see how this can be kept out of the debate.

Hunter biz partner confirms e-mail, details Joe Biden’s push to make millions from China By Michael Goodwin October 22, 2020 | 12:42am | Updated https://nypost.com/2020/10/22/hunter-biz-partner-confirms-e-mail-details-joe-bidens-push-to-make-millions-from-china/

Ignatz @12:40 am, Beautifully said!

Narciso, That article on China is interesting. China certainly has great expectations, and was receiving considerable help (or buying it) from the West. How far can China expand if the policies of President Trump continue and prevail? I tend to agree,with Gordon Chang.

That's cool, Porch!

The Hunter Biden/Biden Crime Family must not be playing well with democrat target groups like the "never Trumpers" and suburban women for the Debate Commission to take it off the table. Add to that the stupidity of antifa/blm to take their assault to the neighborhoods. Not one peep out of the left to stop the wilful violence.

And the future Senator George Murphy.

Narciso, That Real Clear Investigations article is very disturbing.

I suspect after the President wins reelection that if the House is retained by the democrats, they will try yet another impeachment effort just to weaken a lame duck president or cause general mischief. The information that I hope we have on Biden may well extend to other members of the White House itself including the other "big guy" — Barack Obama. That's a nice piece of insurance should it ever be needed.

Great rally, Erie! I love the enthusiasm. Energizing! Dave, I suspect that Rudy has at least one copy of each of Hunter's computer drives.

Stephanie, Wrt Covid, I'm not surprised that parents are concerned. Mr. Inconsistent Fauci has been fear mongering ever since the President began going beyond the CDC to cope with the virus. I have yet to hear Fauci produce one encouraging recommendation. He and the political opposition cling to useless mask wearing, social distancing and perpetual lock downs as the way to manage Covid. Biden and the dems have no intention of finding a cure either with a vaccine or new therapeutics. As far as the economy is concerned, the President owns this issue hands down. The Chinese virus interrupted the economic boom started by the President's tax and regulation cuts. The democrats either with Biden or Harris will reverse those policies. The virus will ultimately be contained either through treatments, a vaccine or herd immunity. A reversal of the President's economic policies under a democrat administration would be disastrous. The President has to keep making his case. That's all he can do in the face of media opposition and misinformation.

JMH, I agree with your comment re: Covid. Luntz points to Covid and the economy as major concerns. The President is in a far better position on these two issues than Biden.

In Minnesota the Democrat Farm Labor party began warning the Biden campaign that there were 250,000 non-college-educated white males in the state who didn't vote in 2016. That was a target-rich environment for Trump, and GOP operatives have been working on getting as many registered as possible. Porch, I heard something similar on Fox this morning wrt non-college-educated white males in Pennsylvania. Very encouraging.

Wonderful news, Kevlar!

JMH, How fortunate you are to have your great grandmother's dresses! I have my mother's satin wedding dress and shoes. The dress was slender like the type Jean Harlow wore. Mother was slender and taller than all her daughters except the youngest. A few months ago I got out the dress from my senior prom. I couldn't believe how tiny the waist was. Ah youth.

JMH, Thank you very much for the article and video by Tom Klingenstein at American Greatness that you posted yesterday. I will send it to my sister and two of my nieces. I hope they read it and understand its significance for their sakes and the sake of our country. Here's the link for those who may not have seen it yesterday. https://amgreatness.com/2020/10/01/video-tom-klingenstein-on-trump-2020-a-man-vs-a-movement/

Thanks AB! Yes, she's a meteorologist. I didn't sleep well last night and I'm still kind of groggy even after my first cup of tea

All good points, JMH. From the comments posted here over the last year or so, it seems many of us have friends or family members who differ with our views on the President. One of my sisters was a very strong supporter of the President. I believe she changed her views after he was inaugurated because she expected him to alter his demeanor and become more "presidential". Her work environment (the medical field) may also have had an impact on her views. I also have two nieces who are in the news media. Both are strong women. One is a news producer; the other is a seismologist (not to be confused with a weather reader). The TV news business has had an negative effect on their views that I never expected to see. The pressure must be extraordinary.

Interesting, Ignatz.
