The false accusations of racism and sexism against our president took a big hit today as the Governor of Puerto Rico, Wanda Vazquez, has endorsed President Trump for his 2020 re-election.
Governor Vazquez was going to surprise the media with a planned campaign event with President Trump in Central FL, which has a very high Puerto Rican population, last Friday. However, the event had to be canceled due to the president’s COVID-19 diagnosis. Governor Vazquez made the endorsement today via a television interview [SEE HERE].
While Puerto Rican nationals cannot participate in the U.S. presidential election, there are many U.S. citizens from Puerto Rico, especially in Florida. In the aftermath of Hurricane Maria many residents of Puerto Rico moved to Florida due to the collapsed infrastructure during the emergency. This endorsement today reflects a strong showing of support for how President Trump has assisted the island.
In addition to the initial recovery funding, recently President Trump announced the largest ever FEMA grant to the island nation, almost $13 billion, in an effort to completely rebuild the roads, utilities and energy infrastructure. The administration’s approach is a smart investment in an island that has a unique set of resources for the pharmaceutical industry; including a previously trained workforce. The announcement was typical President Trump with optimal and pragmatic policy solutions on display.
[…] Puerto Rico serves as a strategic economic region to recapture the Pharmaceutical industry. Historically Puerto Rico was a hub for pharmaceutical manufacturing; however, due to poor and undependable infrastructure, an outcome of terrible management in government, combined with competitive incentives provided by alternative nations, most PR pharma operations moved to India and China.
With the Trump administration confronting Big Pharma on multiple fronts, including the need for a secure supply chain, a cost-effective approach is massive investment to repair and replace the island infrastructure. Today the White House announces the largest FEMA grant in history as an underpinning to this strategic objective. (continue reading)
Trump returned to the White House yesterday and I happened to be listening to CNN. I was not surprised to hear an anchor railing against the president. We all know that the Fake News will sharply criticize Trump no matter what he does, but when he caught the virus, I was dismayed to see so many on the left wishing for his death. Many ’news’ outlets had him in grave condition. Wishful thinking on their part.
The CNN anchor didn’t wish Trump’s demise, but he was very angry. I was busy drawing and thought I was listening to Jake Tapper, the failed cartoonist who now caricatures the news in an unctuous and sanctimonious tone. When I heard him say ‘bullshit’ live on the air followed by taking the Lord’s name in vain I was surprised. I didn’t think Jake would stoop so low as to start cussing. I looked up and discovered it wasn’t Tapper, but rather Chris Cuomo. “Oh, that explains it,” I thought.
Trump handled the virus with aplomb. He rose above the negativity of the lowlife Deep State Marxist Swamp and walked back into the White House.
The big news is President Trump and the First Lady have tested positive for COVID-19.
Naturally we at GrrrGraphics wish the best for them both as they enter a quarantine period, but it’s also suspicious. The president pummeled Joe on the debate stage and two more debates were planned. The best thing the Democrats could do is send Joe back to his basement and forget about the next two rounds. Now they won’t have to. Unless the debates are held virtually (in which case the moderators can ‘mute’ Trump, there won’t be any more chances for Joe to be exposed for what he his—a corrupt, lying, career politician.
We don’t trust anything about the coronavirus. The testing is unreliable. The statistics are skewed. The timing is suspicious.
Regardless, we think Trump and Melania can pull through fairly easily since they are both in good health. We wish them the best.
The RSR Cycle is a pattern. Racism, Sexism, Russia… wash-rinse-repeat. Obviously background polling shows the Trump campaign is making strides gaining additional black voters in 2020. Cue the return of the racism narrative:
Obviously John Roberts was blasted by those who watched his insufferable antics. Hence, his need to return to the microphone and attempt to justify his efforts.
COMMENT #1: Agreed. Our President had an opportunity to reach out to the nation and win over fence sitters, but I feel he failed miserably. He seemed more intent on pissing off the competition. I find it sad.

ANSWER: I think it was a disaster and reflects what our computer has warned about – the nation is seriously divided. I think Trump thinks he showed he was a fighter, but it was more like a food fight in high school with a lot of yelling.
I think Biden was coached and his refusal to have anyone look in his ear to see if he was getting coached during the debate was a serious mistake. He had a shot at showing he was competent and blew it. When Trump brought up his son, Biden dodged the issue and talked about his other son in the war. He simply refused to answer the millions of dollars his son got when he did not have a job before he became VP but did go off an say he was proud of Hunter for kicking his drug problem. Nobody has ever bashed him on that issue. You have to wonder where that came from.
I understand Trump could not come out and say COVID is a scam. The press will trash him all over for that. But he was way too hostile and did not show that he could reach out to the independents. Biden had him rattled whereas I think the earpiece coached Biden pretty good and he kept addressing the audience directly looking at the camera which was an effective debating tactic.
I think the expectations were so low for Biden that he came off better. Not sure it will change the minds of those on either side because, as I said, we really vote for parties not individuals anymore. All the left media will naturally proclaim a victory for Biden and fact-checking has become fact-twisting. When Biden said nobody would have died if Trump did his job, then that means every other country head of state also failed? The countries in which lockdowns prevented herd immunity and they have second waves whereas places like Sweden do not have such sharp rises. Here in Florida, it really has been no big deal, we were not locked down. Trump just was too rattled and lost his cool

[Transcript] – THE PRESIDENT: Okay, thank you very much. We’re going to Minnesota. I thought the debate last night was great. We got tremendous reviews on it. We’re hitting what people want — law and order — which Biden was unable to even talk about because he’d lose the radical left — his radical-left followers. I don’t think there’s too many of them left.
But I thought it was a great evening. It was an exciting evening. I see the ratings were very high. And it was good to be there. It felt very comfortable. And I appreciate all the good words.
So we are going now, and we’re going to have a big rally. A lot of people showing up.
Yeah.
Q Mr. President, can you explain what you meant last night when you said that the Proud Boys should “stand back and stand by”?
THE PRESIDENT: I don’t know who the Proud Boys are. I mean, you’ll have to give me a definition, because I really don’t know who they are. I can only say they have to stand down, let law enforcement do their work. Law enforcement will do the work more and more. As people see how bad this radical, liberal, Democrat movement is and how weak — the law enforcement is going to come back stronger and stronger.
But again, I don’t know who Proud Boys are. But whoever they are, they have to stand down. Let law enforcement do their work.
Q So, Mr. President, did you misspeak when you said “stand by”? That’s my — my first question. When you said —
THE PRESIDENT: Just “stand by.” Look, law enforcement will do their work. They’re going to stand down. They have to stand down. Everybody — they have to stand — whatever group you’re talking about, let law enforcement do the work.
Now, Antifa is a real problem, because the problem is on the left and Biden refuses to talk about it. He refuses to issue the words “law and order.” And you saw that last night when he choked up. He can’t say the words because he’ll lose the rest of the left. So he’s got to condemn Antifa. Antifa is a very bad group.
Q So, Mr. President, let me follow up: White supremacists, they clearly love you and support you. Do you welcome that?
THE PRESIDENT: I want law and order to be a very important part — it’s a very important part of my campaign. And when I say that, what I’m talking about is law enforcement has to — the police have to take care. And they should stop defunding the police like they’ve done in New York —
Q But I’m talking about white supremacists, sir.
THE PRESIDENT: — like they’ve done in New York. I just told you.
Q But do you denounce them? Do you denounce white supr- —
THE PRESIDENT: I’ve always denounced any form —
Q Of white supremacy?
THE PRESIDENT: Any form — any form of any of that, you have to denounce.
But I also — and Joe Biden has to say something about Antifa. It’s not a philosophy. These are people that hit people over the head with baseball bats. He’s got to come out and he’s got to be strong, and he’s got to condemn Antifa. And it’s very important that he does that.
Q So looking at (inaudible) Joe Biden, can I follow up, sir, on that?
Q Mr. President, on the election, you are — you claim that you — that you have an — your response to coronavirus —
THE PRESIDENT: I can’t hear a word you’re saying. I can’t hear.
Q But — no, but —
Q Will you — will you debate again? Will you go ahead with the other two debates that are coming up? Will you debate again?
THE PRESIDENT: I hear he doesn’t want to go forward. But that’s up to him. I mean —
Q But what about you? Are you going forward?
THE PRESIDENT: I would — yeah, I would like to. We — by every measure, we won the debate easily last night. I think he was very weak.
Q Would you like to see any changes?
THE PRESIDENT: He looked weak. He was whining. Uh, yeah, we won the debate by almost every poll that I saw. If you look at the — the various polls. And I looked at about six of them, and we won every one of them. So, no, I don’t mind debating him. I hear he wants to get out of the debates. I don’t know. That’s up to him.
Q Sir, there’s a lot of worry — there’s a lot of worry about the right-wing militias that are armed and going into the streets with weapons. Does that concern you that they go out there with their weapons and walk around in the streets?
THE PRESIDENT: Yeah, it does concern me. And crime generally concerns me — any form of crime. And let law enforcement take care of it.
Q Mr. President, why are you afraid of the election? Why are you afraid of —
THE PRESIDENT: So we had a problem in New York. They have 100,000 ballots that are a mess. They’re all confused, all mixed up. Now they say they’re going to redo them, but what are they going to do with 100,000 ballots that have already been sent? This is exactly what I’m talking about. It’s a big, big, big-scale problem.
A hundred thousand ballots went out to New York with the wrong names on the, wrong envelops, wrong addresses, wrong everything. And now they want to redo the ballots, but that doesn’t help because what about the ones that are already sent? This is exactly what I’m talking about.
Q Can I follow up to that, Mr. President? If there was an apparent Joe Biden victory come the 20th of January and you —
THE PRESIDENT: There — there won’t be. There won’t be.

The ADP private sector payroll report [link here] reflects continued rapid recovery from the regional COVID-19 shutdowns. The monthly report shows gains of 749,000 jobs, exceeding the expected 650,000 forecast.
One of the key factors is the expiration of the disincentive via the federal COVID unemployment mechanism that provided an additional $600/month beyond normal earnings in the unemployment package. This has been a topic of many coversations in my travels as working-class businesses have been having a hard time getting people to return to work. (more on that below)
(Reuters) Private payrolls increased by 749,000 jobs this month after rising 481,000 in August, the ADP National Employment Report showed. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast private payrolls would rise by 650,000 in September. Employment gains were spread across all industries and company size.
Manufacturing payrolls increased by 130,000 jobs and employment at construction sites rose 60,000. Hiring in the services industries advanced 552,000, with trade, transportation and utilities leading the gains. (more)
As many of you know I have been traveling extensively throughout the country as I continue to brief groups on background DC, DOJ and FBI information from my years of research. During these travels I make a point to visit sector-specific businesses to inquire about their economic and business growth status.
The disconnect amid a ground reality compared to business reporting and financial media is actually stunning. However, perhaps that is because my physical ‘on-the-ground’ inquires and reports are ahead of the natural lag in the economic data rolling up to the accounting level. Here’s what I can tell you with absolute certainty.
The amount of heavy equipment, industrial equipment, hardware and goods being moved around the country is more than I have ever witnessed or seen in decades of travel. The mid-west, mid-atlantic, southeast, and more specifically the south in general, has more haulers and semi-trucks on the road than I have ever witnessed…. ever…. by a substantial margin. The same is true for rail freight and cargo vessels.
Because the scale of goods transportation is so visibly larger, it caused me to revisit a much earlier proposal by President Trump on U.S. infrastructure to see if this was actually a foreseeable scenario. I think it was…. I think the reversal of the proverbial “rust” from our economic rust-belt a predictable domestic economic restoration, and that goes to the need of the infrastructure program that President Trump was speaking about before the COVID contraction.
Regardless of what financial pundits and economic media might be saying, the underlying economic activity in the U.S. right now is explosive and moving at a much more rapid pace than before the COVID crisis. Regionally, business owners and operators all report the same thing, and the same need for a larger workforce. All of them are hiring; however, some sector specifics and regional specifics are much more intense.
The demand on the transportation sector for truck drivers must be intense just based on the sheer volume of equipment visibly being moved around the nation. Perhaps this is party due to an exodus from urban areas (that is obvious); and perhaps this is due to the opportunities now that COVID shutdowns are ending and there are major populations relocating outside the metropolitan regions.
When populations shift, all the ancillary businesses related to the stuff they need also shift and expand. Combine this with the expansion in domestic manufacturing due to trade deals starting to come on-line, specifically the USMCA, and I believe this is a large part of what is currently visible. Believe me… it’s very real, and quite jaw-dropping to witness.
