The riots in Rome have become intense. You would reason that any elected politician would think twice about imposing lockdowns after destroying an unbelievable number of jobs and small businesses that are vital in Italy and also counted on tourism which is non-existent anymore. Something is just not right. This is not the way elected governments have acted in the past.
A word from inside sources in Rome suggests that the governments in Europe are concerned about what happens if Trump wins. They are concerned that he is being viewed as a man of the people in contrast to the extreme draconian actions in Europe. A Trump victory, they fear, may inspire Europeans to demand freedom.
Sleepy Joe was steamrolled, obliterated, humiliated, and fracked.
I suspect few minds were swayed, though. The Democrats and the leftist fake mass media all praised Biden and thought he was the debate winner. This is to be expected.
Biden seemed to fade as the debate went on. He mumbled and stuttered more. He called the Proud Boys “Poor Boys.” He made a major mistake by claiming he did not want to end fracking and Trump reminded him that he did earlier say he wanted it ended. Biden said it wasn’t true and challenged President Trump to provide the video. Trump was only too happy to promise said video. Biden truly did say he wanted to end fracking and in fact, he wants to shut down the entire oil industry by 2025. This would cause a complete and utter economic collapse. Biden, by trying to please the far left and go along with their ‘New Green Deal,” ends up saying stupid things and contradicting himself. Let’s hope the voters who value their energy jobs were paying attention.
Biden also tried to make a clever quip about Trump being Lincoln and flopped miserably. Trump didn’t claim to be another Lincoln. Rather, he claimed that as president he has helped more black people since Lincoln.
“Lunchbox Joe” tries to come across as a friendly working man who identifies with the middle class and the poor. Just an average Joe. In fact, he’s a corrupt career politician who enriched himself and his family. He has gr op ed women and children. He’s a predator with an avuncular style.
Joe’s style of debating relies on folksy platitudes. His repetitive bromides such as “C’mon man!,” “Look!” and “Here’s the Deal!” become tedious and predictable. Worse, he counters any damaging criticism or charges of serious scandal by saying things such as, “Nobody believes that!” or “That’s not true!” He can offer no real rebuttal and therefore resorts to gas lighting. As long has he sounds confident in his lying, he figures he can get away with it.
Despite his flashing white teeth and surgically tightened face, Joe sounds like a dithering, bumbling old man. He’ll be a very dangerous old man should he reach the White House.

UPDATE: Video and Transcript Added
[Transcript] – THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Thank you very much. Distinguished guests and my fellow citizens, this is a momentous day for America, for the United States Constitution, and for the fair and impartial rule of law.
The Constitution is the ultimate defense of American liberty. The faithful application of the law is the cornerstone of our Republic. That is why, as President, I have no more solemn obligation and no greater honor than to appoint Supreme Court justices.
On this October evening — and it is so beautiful — the First Lady and I welcome you to the White House to bear witness to history. In a few moments, we will proudly swear in the newest member of the United States Supreme Court: Justice Amy Coney Barrett. (Applause.)
She is one of our nation’s most brilliant legal scholars, and she will make an outstanding justice on the highest court in our land.
Justice Barrett’s oath will be administered by the Court’s longest-serving member currently on the bench — a man whose allegiance to the law has earned him the respect and gratitude of all Americans: Justice Clarence Thomas. (Applause.)
Our country owes a debt of thanks to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. We appreciate it very much, Mitch. Thank you. (Applause.) And we are grateful as well to the Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham. Thank you, Lindsey. (Applause.)
Also with us, Senators Marsha Blackburn, Mike Braun, Bill Cassidy, Kevin Cramer, Ted Cruz, Steve Daines, Ron Johnson, James Lankford, Mike Lee, and Martha McSally. And I hope I didn’t leave anybody out. (Applause.)
And a very special thanks to our great Vice President, Mike Pence. Thank you, Mike. (Applause.)
Also, I want to thank White House Counsel Pat Cipollone. Thank you, Pat. (Applause.)
And very importantly, I want to welcome Justice Barrett’s husband, Jesse. Thank you, Jesse. Thank you. (Applause.) Let me also recognize your seven children — your great, beautiful children — who have become, really, just very, very popular in this nation. People have been watching them and loving them, and they’re watching right now back home in Indiana. Thank you very much. (Applause.) And I speak to everyone when I say that the Barrett family has captured America’s heart.
It is highly fitting that Justice Barrett fills the seat of a true pioneer for women: Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Tonight, Justice Barrett becomes not only the fifth woman to serve on our nation’s highest court, but the very first mother of school-aged children to become a Supreme Court justice. Very important. (Applause.)
Over the past few weeks, the entire world has seen Justice Barrett’s deep knowledge, tremendous poise, and towering intellect. She answered questions for hours on end. Throughout her entire confirmation, her impeccable credentials were unquestioned, unchallenged, and obvious to all.
Justice Barrett earned a full academic scholarship to Notre Dame Law School, graduated first in her class, and served as a clerk for Justice Antonin Scalia. She was a beloved professor at Notre Dame Law School for 15 years before I very proudly appointed her to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit in 2017.
The American people have been profoundly impressed to learn of her achievements, her compassion, her generosity, her faith, and her sterling character.
Justice Barrett has made clear she will issue rulings based solely upon a faithful reading of the law and the Constitution as written, not legislate from the bench.
The equal, impartial, and constitutional rule of law that we enjoy every day in America is one of the crowning achievements in the history of human civilization. It is the triumph of reason, experience, and the values which are eternal and everlasting. Our devotion to this inheritance is what has made America the most just, exceptional, and glorious nation ever to exist.
I want every American child watching to understand that this is a very special and important ceremony. We are fulfilling the duty that passes to each new generation to sustain the national traditions and virtues that make possible everything we have achieved before that we will do tomorrow.
Because of our Constitution and our culture of freedom, you live in a land where anything is possible and where any dream can come true. No matter who you are, no matter your background, in America, everyone is entitled to equal protection under our laws, and your sacred rights can never, ever be taken away.
The march of liberty that began with the American Revolution continues onward this evening. Tonight at the White House, we carry forward the cause of freedom, equality, and justice for which so many generations of Americans have given so much. We honor the cause for which men died to win the Civil War, and for which they jumped out of airplanes and shed their blood on distant battlefields. We honor the immortal principles that inspired millions in the struggle for Civil Rights, and we take special pride in the nation that inspires billions of people all over the world.
We must never take this radiant inheritance for granted. We must never lose confidence in our history, our heritage, or in our heroes. To reach for the stars, we must stand upon the strong and sturdy foundation built by those incredible Americans who came before.
Justice Barrett, as you take your oath tonight, the legacy of our ancestors falls to you. The American people put their trust in you and their faith in you as you take up the task of defending our laws, our Constitution, and this country that we all love. We ask God to give you wisdom and courage. I know you will make us all very, very proud.
As long as we are loyal to our founding and to our fellow citizens, America’s future will be bright, America’s destiny will be great, and America’s people will forever and always be free. I now ask Justice Thomas to administer the Oath. Thank you very much.
(The Judicial Oath is administered.) (Applause.)
JUSTICE BARRETT: Thank you. Thank you so very much. Thank you all for being here tonight. And thank you, President Trump, for selecting me to serve as an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. It’s a privilege to be asked to serve my country in this office, and I stand here tonight truly honored and humbled.
Thanks also to the Senate for giving its consent to my appointment. I am grateful for the confidence you have expressed in me, and I pledge to you and to the American people that I will discharge my duties to the very best of my ability.
This was a rigorous confirmation process, and I thank all of you, especially Leader McConnell and Chairman Graham for helping me to navigate it.
My heartfelt thanks go to the members of the White House staff and Department of Justice who worked tirelessly to support me through this process. Your stamina is remarkable, and I have been the beneficiary of it.
Jesse and I are also so grateful to the many people have supported — who have supported our family over these last several weeks. Through ways both tangible and intangible, you have made this day possible. Jesse and I have been truly awestruck by your generosity.
I have spent a good amount of time over the last month at the Senate, both in meetings with individual senators and in days of hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee. The confirmation process has made ever clearer to me one of the fundamental differences between the federal judiciary and the United States Senate, and perhaps the most acute is the role of policy preferences.
It is the job of a senator to pursue her policy preferences. In fact, it would be a dereliction of duty for her to put policy goals aside. By contrast, it is the job of a judge to resist her policy preferences. It would be a dereliction of duty for her to give in to them.
Federal judges don’t stand for election. Thus, they have no basis for claiming that their preferences reflect those of the people. This separation of duty from political preference is what makes the judiciary distinct among the three branches of government.
A judge declares independence not only from Congress and the President, but also from the private beliefs that might otherwise move her. The Judicial Oath captures the essence of the judicial duty the rule of law must always control.
My fellow Americans, even though we judges don’t face elections, we still work for you. It is your Constitution that establishes the rule of law and the judicial independence that is so central to it.
The oath that I have solemnly taken tonight means, at its core, that I will do my job without any fear or favor, and that I will do so independently of both the political branches and of my own preferences.
I love the Constitution and the Democratic Republic that it establishes, and I will devote myself to preserving it. Thank you. (Applause.)
Appearing on Fox News with host Lou Dobbs, former Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard “Ric” Grenell discusses the ongoing internal DC conflict with intelligence officials who refuse to allow transparency.
Part of the discussion shifts to the removal of FBI Director Wray and CIA Director Haspel who have both been identified (through their behavior) as working against the interests of President Trump and the American people. Grenell recommends that executive office replacements be hired from outside the DC eco-sphere.
Interestingly, this aligns with the CTH recommendation from 2016 when we strongly suggested all intelligence agency heads be replaced by former governors, former federal judges and/or former state attorney generals.
The second of three President Trump ‘battleground Pennsylvania‘ rallies takes place today at the Lancaster Airport in Lititz, PA. The anticipated start time is 1:30pm EDT. [Livestream Links Below]
Wow, you want to say great job U.S. Marshals Service… but then you think about what exactly they are being thanked for, and “great job” seems prayerfully inappropriate.
Ohio State Attorney General, Dave Yost, has announced the results of a 50 agency anti human trafficking operation called “Operation Autumn Hope”, and while the results are excellent the underlying evil is almost unimaginable.
45 missing children were physically recovered in the Ohio operation along with 109 human trafficking survivors. [Media]
(Columbus Ohio) – […] “The success of Operation Autumn Hope is measured not only in the number of arrests but in the lives that were rescued from this evil,” Yost said. “Every agency on this team looks for the day when no person is bought and sold in Ohio. Don’t buy sex in Ohio!”
During the operation, the Central Ohio Human Trafficking Trask Force, Columbus PACT Unit and the Cuyahoga County Human Trafficking Task Force rescued 109 human trafficking victims and referred them to social services.
“These vulnerable members of our population usually slip through the cracks,” said Sgt. Dana Hess, director of the Central Ohio Human Trafficking Task Force. “This operation highlighted the vast number of potential victims and allowed law enforcement the opportunity to make contact and link them to services.”
Sondra Miller, president and CEO of the Cleveland Rape Center, whose agency was part of the social services network prepared to aid the rescued victims, said: “Survivors of rape and sex trafficking deserve to be believed and have access to justice. By holding offenders accountable and reducing demand for human trafficking, this operation prevented many others from being harmed.”
Across southern Ohio, 76 missing and exploited children cases were cleared, including 45 by physical recovery by the U.S. Marshal’s Service.
Among those missing included a 15-year-old girl missing from Cleveland whose recovery linked her and other possible victims to an individual in Columbus suspected of human trafficking; a 15-year-old male with two warrants who is a suspect in multiple shootings and a homicide; and a 14-year-old girl who was reported missing by the Lancaster Police Department who was recovered in Columbus within six hours of being reported missing.

The Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act of 2015 enhanced the U.S. Marshals’ authority to assist federal, state, and local law enforcement with the recovery of missing, endangered, trafficked or abducted children, regardless of whether a fugitive or sex offender was involved. The U.S. Marshals Service established a Missing Child Unit to oversee and manage the implementation of its enhanced authority under the act.
President Trump, former AG Jeff Sessions and current AG Bill Barr have unleashed the USMS to support their new authorities; they have been delivering strong results.
It must be remembered these operations have been taking place all over the country with the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) coordinating the cross-state agency efforts: Operation “Not Forgotten” rescued 39 children; Operation “Safety Net” recovered another 35; and now Operation “Autumn Hope” rescues another 45 missing children.
“This operation, with the cooperation of the law enforcement agencies, social services, and non-governmental organizations, has brought to the forefront the realities of human trafficking and the exploitation of trafficking victims. Together, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and its partners will continue with its victim-centered approach and ensure that traffickers, here in Ohio and beyond, face justice for their criminal acts.”
~ Vance Callender, Special Agent in Charge for HSI in Michigan and Ohio
Meanwhile, last week the U.S. Department of Homeland Security launched the first ever national Center for Countering Human Trafficking (CCHT), and DHS Secretary Chad Wolf held a 30 minute press availability (remarks here) to announce the new federal agency.
The DHS press release is HERE and the White House press release is HERE. However, in a stark example of how liberal media refuse to discuss this topic, after the announcement not a single media reporter asked a question about why this national center was so urgently needed. The media just got up and walked out.
Great work in Ohio by the U.S. Marshals Service. There is some slight solace in knowing we have at least one federal law enforcement institution effectively working on behalf of our nation. The politically disinterested politicians, and their media bootlickers, should be ashamed of their lack of forceful engagement on this issue.
The third stop of President Trump’s march on Pennsylvania takes place today as our president holds a Make America Great Again Rally at Altoona-Blair County Airport in Martinsburg, PA. Anticipated start time is 4:30pm EDT [Livestream Links Below]
The Pennsylvania surge happens at the same time as The New York Times reports President Trump capturing 24 percent of Philadelphia voters. That result is nearly a 10% increase from 2016 and would destroy the Biden hopes in the state. Further empirical evidence of this Philadelphia outcome was reflected last Friday when former President Obama could only draw a crowd of a few hundred amid the city of brotherly love.
Similar in motive to the FL strategy, perhaps this PA campaign push is to extend the size of the victory beyond the reach of voter fraud in the Keystone state.
In early October a large number of Latino supporters for Trump in Miami-Dade county Florida surprised the Biden-Harris campaign by swarming a local Kamala Harris event.
It happened again… and then again… And then by mid October the organically occurring approach started to catch fire.
The Deplorables are on the march, and their assembled visibility, the political optics, have destroyed the media narrative.
The downstream impact on the messaging of the Biden-Harris campaign, their surrogates and the DNC club writ large, is devastating. That’s almost certainly the real reason Joe Biden has abandoned his in-person campaigning.
Earlier today President Trump referenced an article by Byron York:
…”It was the biggest political rally no one saw. And gatherings like it have been happening for months in some of the places President Trump needs most to win if he is to be reelected. And, remarkably, the rallies are not the work of the Trump campaign.”…
Keep pushing. Be of good cheer and rally to the standard. We are making with our voice such a sound – that all who oppose our patriotic movement are increasingly desperate.
Keeping Pennsylvania in mind, if this report on Philadelphia from the New York Times is accurate then President Trump is well positioned:
…”Troubling for Mr. Biden in a different way is the fact that he has not yet matched Mrs. Clinton’s share of support in Philadelphia proper. Averaging the results of the two recent polls, he has the backing of 73 percent of Philadelphia voters, down from 83 percent for Mrs. Clinton in 2016. According to the Times/Siena poll, Mr. Trump was supported by 24 percent of Philadelphians, nine points ahead of his exit poll numbers in 2016.” [link]
