Trump’s campaign is despondent
Trump’s campaign is despondent as he keeps reusing strategies which worked against Hillary Clinton but aren’t landing on Joe Biden, reports say
President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign fears that the president will lose to Joe Biden because of his insistence of repeating attack lines that he used against Hillary Clinton in 2016, according to multiple reports. News reports over the weekend added to the growing list of worries for the Trump campaign, with 17 million voters having already submitted their ballots, and 15 days until in-person voting. Much polling data shows showing Biden leading Trump: An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll conducted between October 9 and October 12 found Biden leading Trump 53% to 42%, and a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted between October 13 and October 15 found Biden ahead 45% to 36%. Doubt persists in Trump’s own campaign that they are taking the most effective approach, much of it aimed at the president himself, sources told The New York Times and The Associated Press.
- Four campaign officials and Republicans close to the White House told the AP that many worry that Trump’s campaign is proving ineffective because has struggled to define Biden and is relying on old talking points, like the Russia probe.
- The AP noted that Trump’s attempts to re-use the attacks that he used against Clinton in the last election haven’t been seen to damage Biden.
- Brendan Buck, a former adviser to Republican House Speakers Paul Ryan and John Boehner, told the AP that Trump is being misled by an “echo chamber” of advisors and cheering crowds.
- The Times reported that his choice to target Biden’s son, Hunter, will likely not connect beyond his already-enthusiastic base.
- Those fears were reportedly deepened by Trump’s performance in his debate with Biden and his coronavirus diagnosis.
The Times noted that Trump’s team are telling Republicans that they expect to do better than the polls suggest.
In final sprint, Trump makes stops his team never expected to need
MACON, Ga. — He pitched rural voters in Iowa on Wednesday, visited North Carolina and Florida on Thursday — states his campaign once insisted were a lock — and is spending Friday evening here in Georgia, which Democrats last carried in 1992. In the final 18 days before voters decide whether to keep President Donald Trump in the White House, the incumbent Republican is spending precious time in states that were never supposed to be this close but now threaten to upend his reelection campaign. Five months after his ex-campaign manager Brad Parscale said Florida was “becoming Trump country,” suburban areas Trump once dominated are looking increasingly bleak. Meanwhile, polls in Iowa and North Carolina show dead-heat races between Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden. The president’s campaign schedule in the final weeks is either a tacit acknowledgment that he’s on the brink of crushing losses in major battlegrounds and once-impenetrable red states, or an over cautious exercise in due-diligence — an effort to shore up support in GOP strongholds to prevent an electoral blowout, or a push to squeeze more from his base in a contest that may be won in the margins. “I don’t think there’s any way Georgia goes to Biden, but there’s no reason for Trump not to come here. He doesn’t want to have a Wisconsin moment to look back on come Nov. 4,” said Seth Weathers, the former director of Trump’s Georgia campaign, citing one of the most common critiques of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 strategy — that she declined to visit the Badger State even once after securing the Democratic presidential nomination Beneath stadium lights outside Middle Georgia Regional Airport, Trump urged his supporters at a Friday night rally in Macon to turn out on Nov. 3 to “show the great people, the great American people, that we’re in charge.” Citing debunked claims about widespread voter fraud, Trump cautioned the crowd here against mail-in voting and encouraged them to show up at the polls instead. Trump’s defensive posture follows a stretch of devastating blows to his reelection campaign that further imperiled his standing in the industrial Midwest, where the 2020 election is likely to be decided, and cast new doubt on his ability to keep the Sun Belt in his column. His own battle with Covid-19 and raucous performance in the first presidential debate sent his poll numbers among women and seniors into a tailspin earlier this month, leaving him little time to reverse the sharp downward trend. The outcome is a campaign stretched increasingly thin in the last leg of the 2020 race, as Trump tries to spend enough time in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania to move the needle with voters without neglecting other states that demand his attention. Despite his 5-point margin of victory in Georgia four years ago, suburban women in the Atlanta suburbs could nudge the state into Biden’s column this cycle — creating a catastrophic loss for the GOP that could further jeopardize its Senate majority. A late September survey by Quinnipiac University showed Sen. David Perdue running neck-and-neck against his Democratic challenger Jon Ossoff, while Sen. Kelly Loeffler — who is locked in a special election for the state’s other Senate seat — trailed Democrat Raphael Warnock in the same poll. “I’ve never seen a Republican president with numbers like this in Arizona,” said a person close to the Trump campaign, describing the latest statewide polls as foreboding. But here in Macon, Trump suggested the massive crowds at his campaign rallies — which he resumed earlier this week after receiving clearance from White House doctors — are a reliable barometer of how he will perform on Election Day. While acknowledging that “winning the Electoral College is a very, very hard thing to do,” the president said his enthusiastic base will afford him victories in states he lost four years ago. “All these rallies are like this. We have more enthusiasm than any candidate in the history of this country,” Trump said. “We’re going to win Minnesota. You know, Minnesota hasn’t been won [by a Republican] since 1972.” “There’s going to be a red wave next month,” he added.
“You lose someone and there’s nothing to describe what you have to bear,” he said, adding that he’s “moving heaven and earth to safeguard our seniors” from the lethal virus. During riffs about suburban women at rallies in Florida and North Carolina, he touted his nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett, a mother of seven who is poised to be confirmed to the Supreme Court by the Senate later this month. Trump is expected to remain on the campaign trail nearly every day until the election, zig-zagging between the Midwest and southern tier of the U.S. to cover all his bases. Next week he will participate in his second and final debate against Biden at Belmont University in Nashville. Nick Note: Trump is a sinking ship listing badly. He has evoked plan B. Which is to claim by election day the 30 million mail in ballets are a massive fraud. An army of lawyer have been engaged to contest every mail in ballot . And if it works it would be a palace Que. Here is how it goes. If he gets the Supreme Court to disallow the mail in ballets or even a portion of them he will win. Because the mail in ballets are predominately democratic votes for Biden. This election ma well be decided by Trumps Supreme Court where the deck is stacked in his favor…..
The current Covid-19 virus is not the same one we saw in March:
Nick Note: New geniality spliced virus is far more contagious. Information i have says it was spliced at the 614 gene mark and is reinfecting the world again. I am warning you this new “mutation” is far more infectious And spreads as an aerosol. You have been warned. If you want to live up your game. Hospitals are quietly upping their Covid wards to the same level protection as the old TB wards……. Is it not a miracle that a genetically modified version of the plague is causing infections and hospitalizations to explode world wide…. And the best all our leaders can do is tell you to wear a coffee filter/toilet paper mask that has been proven not to work. The new spread is Sucking shut economies again and not one as in no new cases in ALL of China…….
China’s GDP grows 4.9% on annual basis in Q3
https://youtu.be/zqcaFpoe4oE
China’s is the worlds only economy to COMPLETELY recover from the global plague. In the third-quarter, the economy grew 4.9% from a year earlier, data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed on Monday. The growth followed 3.2% growth in the second quarter. The economy grew 0.7% in the first nine months from a year earlier, the data showed. The world’s second-largest economy has been steadily recovering from decades-low growth seen in the first months of the year caused by the coronavirus shock. The government has rolled out a raft of measures, including more fiscal spending, tax relief and cuts in lending rates and banks’ reserve requirements to revive the coronavirus-hit economy and support employment. On a quarter-on-quarter basis, GDP rose 2.7% in July-September, the bureau said. Nick Note: By some miracle China is the worlds only economy fully recovered and growing again. And they have NO corona virus cases and have had none for months. How do you think they achieved this miracle. Coronavirus wiped out and economy fully recovered and the fastest growth in the world. And this at the exact same time the west is having the most cases ever and economic growth is still negative. Do you think MAYBE they have a vaccine for the global plague they created. Anna pass me my tin foil hat please.You better get yours out to!
Pelosi ‘optimistic’ about new coronavirus stimulus
Pelosi sets 48-hour deadline for White House to resolve coronavirus stimulus talks after long phone call with Mnuchin
The House Speaker’s demand came after she spoke with Secretary of the Treasury Steve Mnuchin by phone for over an hour in a bid to resolve the on-going deadlock.Time is winding down before the November 3 presidential election to reach agreement on a new coronavirus relief package. On October 10, Mnuchin proposed a $1.8 trillion economic stimulus proposal in talks with Pelosi but many Senate Republicans have balked at a package that big. Drew Hammill, Pelosi’s deputy chief of staff, said work remains to be done and set a deadline for the matter to be resolved – though it was unclear what would happen if this wasn’t met.“While there was some encouraging news on testing, there remains work to do to ensure there is a comprehensive testing plan that includes contact tracing and additional measures to address the virus’ disproportionate impact on communities of color,” he tweeted. “There remains an array of additional differences as we go provision by provision that must be addressed in a comprehensive manner in the next 48 hours.” Pelosi said while differences remain with the Trump administration on a wide-ranging coronavirus relief package but she was optimistic legislation could be pushed through before Election Day “I’m optimistic because, again, we’ve been back and forth on all of this,” Pelosi said in an interview with ABC’s “This Week.” “Decisions must be made by the White House in order to demonstrate that the Administration is serious about reaching a bipartisan agreement that provides for Americans with the greatest needs during the pandemic.” Mnuchin’s spokesperson said that he and Pelosi were expected to speak again on Monday night. The Democrat dominated House of Representatives has approved a $2.2trillion coronavirus stimulus package, but a deal with the White House and Republican-held Senate is still yet to be reached. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the Senate will vote on smaller coronavirus relief packages Tuesday and Wednesday. Republicans gave favoured a series of singular bills with smaller individual price tags while Democrats have advocated for a sweeping package that addressed several sectors of the pandemic. The first bill will center on additional funding for the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), which provides assistance to small businesses during the pandemic. The second vote on Wednesday will center on aid to schools and funding for testing. The overall proposal will cost $500 billion, much smaller than the White House’s offer, and the $2.2 trillion package House Democrats recently passed. Nick Note: Sounds amazing but as bad as things are 1/2 a billion dollars will not move the needle.
Your Librarian Corona virus report
Salvavida Suggestions:
- Isolation from people is the BEST thing you can do. For people I must see they stay OUTSIDE and we speak through plexiglas
- Constantly circulate you air. I suck in air through a panel ULPA U15 filter i made and i exhaust the air through a powered ventilator on the roof
- Use a proper surgical silicone mask with P3 filters. I exhausted all supplies. SO i made my own. They are the ONLYP3 R ULPA U15 cartage filters made in the world for face masks. I took the technology from Biolabs Level 4 filtration systems. If you had showed a interest i sent you a complimentary sample of my new cartage filter last week.
- Take Vitamin D3 in the form of Choleciferol. Usually that is a minimum of 10,000 IU a day. Studies have shown you should raise your blood levels to 25(OH)D concentrations above 40–60 ng/mL (100–150 nmol/L). You can only know by getting your blood tested. I do blood tests every 3 months.
- It is also recommended to take vitamin K2 in the form of MK7. Recommended dose of 100 micrograms
- You should be taking Melotonan at night 2mg.
- I like to add Omega 3 fatty acid supplements
- Zinc is a great immune system support vitamin. It is hard to get into your cells because of its ion charge.
- Green Tea aides in getting Zinc into your cells. I make it by boiling pure water with FRESH Ginger root (a natural anti inflammatory), lemon and cinnamon Sticks (a natural antibiotic) first. Add the green tea after you boil the other ingredients…. let the water cool a little.
- Quinine. I take it in the form of tonic water. In the US Schweppes is a good choice. I drink several glasses a day. The best TONIC water containing quinine is Fever-Tree out of India. It has higher levels of Quinine and less sugar. You can make your own Quinine by buying Cinchona bark purchased at the health food store and making your own. Lots of recipes on the internet.
- Nicotine. Despite the hysteria their are many know health benefits. Studies have show that Nicotine is a natural Ace2 inhibitor. And in your sinus it is an antiviral. I prefer to get my nicotine dose by smoking a pipe with organic tobacco filtered through a charcoal filter. Just like Bill Clinton I do not inhale. I now live a minimalist life style with a few exceptions left over from my NY days. Every day i smoke 1 Cohiba Maduro 5 Magicos cigar. If your are nasty smoke obsessed you could consider using a nicotine patch. These can be dangerous.
- Mouthwash. I learned a long time ago to flight other corona viruses to OFTEN gargle with a mouth wash containing Chlorhexidine Digluconate. Most all the respiratory viruses grow in the case of the flue on the roof of your mouth. The Coronaviruse grows in the back of your sinuses and then “leaks” into your throat and into your lungs. Many studies have show a benefit from vigorously gargling with the RIGHT mouth wash.
- Left Over from a different time in my life is a passion for Scotch Whisky. Now not just any Scotch but Macallan single malt 30 year old. I drink 1 fluid ounce every day after the markets close. The stuff costs silly money. But i have a stash in my “trophies case” See i get the stuff for free. I ask everyone who joins my Millionaires Club to send me a bottle. Needless to say i have a huge stash.
In closing we make no medical claims whats so ever for the above. These are suggestions i found in Published research from what i regard as credible sources. In these news pages i Have published the studies that support these conclusion.
Before taking any medicines, home remedies, vitamins or a drink of water consult your medical professional.
I am taking this very very serious. I lost 3 more people this weekend. Its now killing people i know in their early sixties. But we all know i am FULL OF SHIT and a criminal rouge…..
‘Lock Up the Bidens,’ Trump Says at Georgia Campaign Rally
(Bloomberg) — President Donald Trump called on Friday night for Joe Biden and his family to be jailed, escalating his attacks on his Democratic opponent over unsupported accusations as he struggles to reverse his deficit in the polls. “Lock up the Bidens. Lock up Hillary,” Trump declared at a rally in Macon, Georgia, stoking the crowd that chanted “lock him up” in favor of the Democratic candidate’s imprisonment. “We’ve learned over the last couple of months: Joe Biden is a corrupt politician,” Trump said to his supporters, “and the Biden family is a criminal enterprise.” Trump frequently demanded that his 2016 Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, be incarcerated over her use of a private email server as secretary of state. It was believed to be the first time he has ever used that sort of attack against the Bidens. The FBI declined in 2016 to recommend charges against Clinton for sending a small number of classified emails through a private server at her New York home. Trailing behind Biden in most opinion polls with the election less than three weeks away,
Trump has zeroed in on a New York Post report from earlier this week that highlights documents purporting to show the business dealings of Joe Biden’s son Hunter in Ukraine and China.
The Post article, citing unverified emails from a laptop abandoned at a Delaware computer repair shop, alleged that Hunter Biden introduced a Ukrainian businessman to his father, who has said he’s never talked with his son about his international business dealings. The emails provided no proof of a meeting. The businessman, according to the article, thanked Hunter Biden for “the opportunity to meet your father.”
The Biden campaign said his calendars turned up no record that the former vice president ever met with the businessman.
The laptop’s hard drive was given to Trump ally Steve Bannon, who gave it to Rudy Giuliani’s lawyer, Robert Costello. Giuliani, the former New York mayor and Trump’s lawyer, gave it to the Post. “I have no response. Another smear campaign,” Biden said Friday when asked about the reports. The Washington Post reported Thursday that Trump was warned last year that Giuliani had become the target of Russian intelligence for an influence operation. Giuliani’s efforts to obtain disparaging information about the Bidens from Ukrainian officials contributed to Trump’s impeachment in the House of Representatives. Biden and Trump are scheduled to meet for a presidential debate in Nashville next Thursday, their final encounter of the 2020 campaign.During the rally, Trump raised the possibility of a loss to Biden, though making light of it. “I shouldn’t joke because you know what, running against the worst candidate in the history of presidential politics puts pressure on me,” he said. “Could you imagine if I lose? My whole life, what am I going to do, I’m going to say, I lost to the worst candidate in the history of politics. I’m not going to feel so good. Maybe I’ll have to leave the country, I don’t know.” Nick Note: I can tell you FOR SURE Biden and son are dirty. The emails are real and the Biden’s have taken the biggest bribes in US history. Could be by my count over a billion dollars. This is why the Biden campaign has “raised” so much money. The Chinese investment firm BHR Equity Investment Fund Management Co., BHR Partners has gone bankrupt and the Chinese businessman Jonathan Li is dead killed by the Chinese government. BHR has invested in a number of state-owned Chinese companies, including a subsidiary of the oil refiner Sinopec and China General Nuclear Power Group. The business focus of some of them is at odds with American policy. For example, the company invested in Face++, a division of the Chinese company Megvii, which specializes in facial recognition technology that is promoted for use by China’s police, according to a report by Human Rights Watch. BHR also invested alongside AVIC, a major state-owned aerospace and defense company that builds fighter jets for the Chinese military and in the Ukraine’s largest gas company.
McConnell: Senate to vote on $500B GOP bill Oct. 21
- Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell blamed Democrats for the current deadlock, arguing there is enough time to pass the bill and confirm Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barret if “Democrats do not obstruct this legislation.”
- Democrats blocked a $500 billion Republican plan in the Senate last month and are likely to dismiss the latest GOP proposal as insufficient.
- Democrats are pushing for a much larger package. The party passed a $2.2 trillion relief bill in the House.
- The Trump administration has proposed a $1.8 trillion package, but that offer is unpopular with Senate Republicans.
The Senate will vote on a $500 billion coronavirus stimulus bill on Wednesday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Saturday, as a larger bipartisan deal remains elusive despite continued talks between top Democrats and the Trump administration. McConnell blamed his opponents across the political aisle for the current stalemate, arguing that the Senate has enough time to pass the GOP stimulus package and confirm Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barret if “Democrats do not obstruct this legislation.” “Nobody thinks this $500B+ proposal would resolve every problem forever,” McConnell said in a statement on Saturday. “It would deliver huge amounts of additional help to workers and families right now while Washington keeps arguing over the rest.”
Democrats have accused McConnell of pushing ahead with Barrett’s confirmation instead of focusing on passing stimulus legislation. Democrats blocked a $500 billion Republican plan in the Senate last month and will likely dismiss the latest GOP proposal as insufficient. The chances of Congress passing new aid before the Nov. 3 presidential election have dimmed as the Senate GOP plan is more limited than what the Trump administration or Democrats have proposed. The GOP bill will include funding for schools, expanded unemployment benefits and a second round of the Paycheck Protection Program, McConnell said. The Senate will vote on the bill a day after a standalone vote on more PPP funds on Tuesday. Earlier this month, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin offered House Speaker Nancy Pelosi a $1.8 trillion stimulus deal, about $400 billion less than the bill proposed by House Democrats earlier this month. Pelosi, whose party passed a $2.2 trillion relief bill in the House, dismissed the White House proposal and said it “amounted to one step forward, two steps back.” Senate Republicans, on the other hand, oppose the White House package as too large. Pelosi and Mnuchin continued their negotiations this week, though they were unable to reach an agreement. Both sides characterized the talks as productive but said major differences remain. Congress hasn’t pushed through new relief legislation in months as the coronavirus worsens across the U.S. and millions of Americans remain unemployed. Nick Note: Three trillion plus relief bill gets down to five hundred billion happy checks mostly for the airlines. They still do not get this. The second genetically engineered wave of the corona virus is upon us. Like a dark shadow it is encompassing the world. Each attack by the Chinese will crush the western world. Poverty, business failures and eventually violent social upheavals. A pandemic is something China will not waste.
UN’s Guterres: World failing COVID-19 test
“The COVID-19 pandemic is a major global challenge for the entire international community, for multilateralism and for me, as secretary-general of the United Nations,” Guterres told Portuguese news agency Lusa. “Unfortunately it is a test that, so far, the international community is failing.” He said that if coordinated measures were not taken, “a microscopic virus could push millions of people into poverty and hunger, with devastating economic effects in the years to come”. Guterres also criticised countries for a lack of unity in trying to solve other global challenges including the conflicts in Afghanistan, Yemen and Syria. “It is a source of enormous frustration,” he said. More than 39 million people have been infected by COVID-19, according to a Reuters tally based on official disclosures. Infections have been reported in more than 210 countries and territories since the first cases were identified in China in December 2019. Nick Note: this has not begun to get ugly yet. As joke lockdowns fail governments will get desperate. Soon their will be internment camps, travel permits with health cards. And forced vaccinations. Remember you heard it here first
