First, Erie Pennsylvania:
“Rallies in Erie, Pennsylvania on Tuesday, October 20th, 2020 at 7:00 PM EDT and in Gastonia, North Carolina on Wednesday, October 21st, 2020 at 7:00 PM EDT.”
So 4 PM Pacific (coverage starting very soon) then also 4 PM Pacific tomorrow.
Then Gastonia, North Carolina:
In Other News:
Biden called a 5 day “Lid” on news, meaning he’s hiding in his basement for the rest of the week.
Supposedly there’s another “debate” happening, but with a kill switch on the POTUS microphone and all the questions changed to avoid Hunter issues and showcase Biden better. IMHO Potus would be better off just cancelling it. Or talking really really loud when the mic gets cut.
Then there’s CNN Chief Legal Analyst Jeff Toob.. something… who was in a business conference via Skype and demonstrated his complete lack of technical understanding, his complete disrespect for work focus, and more… but deciding that was a good time to “play with Mr. Happy” and discovered he did not know how to blank the camera (while his work-mates discovered even more about the hazards of cameras and idiots…)
Oh, and Indonesia blew up something like 45 illegal fishing boats from Viet Nam and China just to make a point, while the Philippines restarted oil and gas exploration in the South China Sea. I think the locals are pissed at China and have decided to “poke the panda” (or is it Poke the Poo?) and call BS on the actions of China.
So it’s going to be a fairly tense 2 weeks.
Musings from the Chiefio 
“but with a kill switch on the POTUS microphone”
… and on Twitter and on the MSM …
It was too quiet. I searched “hunter laptop” on DDG just to see who was reporting it. As suspected, the only MSM news on it was that it was “debunked”.
Even internationally. Australia seemed to be the exception.
Jo Nova this morning. YSM not so much

@YMMV:
I like watching Sky Australia, they seem to have clue and tell truth.
@Another Ian:
IMHO, that is no accident. China had a long cycle plan, co-opted the Globalists via loads of cash and compromat. Had their guys lined up for POTUS, then Trump happened. After a hunkerdown, we had Chinese Wuhan Covid slip out ahead of plan. So seeing their window closing, China AND the Globalists (#1 being Soros) decided to Go For It. Just accelerate all their plans.
Instantly it is everything by Chinese Communist Style rules.
“You will know them by their deeds”.
So it is life or death final round. POTUS Trump vs. China Pwnd.
We know in a couple of weeks.
Airforce 1 has landed, 20 min late, but Trump on his way to the stage!

Hah! President Trump has a jumbotron for the overflow crowd… and he had videos of Biden and Harris saying they would shut down fracing.
President Trump needs to use that jumbotron more, not just so everyone gets to see him speak, but to highlight the duplicity of the YSM, Biden crowds, and… oh, just all sorts of fun stuff he could put up here and there while he speaks. I’m glad they thought of it while there is still campaign time left and not “Oh, snap! We shoulda…” after the campaign.
He also talked about “The Laptop From Hell.” That one is going to stick 🤣
For over a year I have been making 100 annoying phone calls in favor of Donald Trump and Thom Tillis each day. Now when it really matters I am no longer doing that since my #1 priority is looking after my wife who has fractured her tibia in spectacular fashion requiring three operations and a week as a hospital in-patient.
If Trump loses North Carolina and Thom Tillis loses to Cal Cunningham I will be devastated since I failed to show up when needed
@gallopingcamel 😢 praying for your wife.
@gallopingcamel, all the best…
“When two or more duties conflict, one of them is no longer a duty.” You are doing the right.
@GC – You can’t change the past and the future is never here. It’s always now. Do what needs to be done now to the best of your ability and with a clear conscience.
My best to you and your wife.
@GC, your first duty is to care for your Lady. The Nation will survive this. Best wishes to you both…pg
@GC,
Been there, done that; though not with the same particulars. Family first and prayers are being said for you and yours.
@gallopingcamel – family comes first. Besides, Cal has decided to kill his own campaign.
@ gallopingcamel – all the best to your wife, speedy recovery – followed by political victory for democracy.
@G.C.:
Echoing what others have said:
#1 for you right now is spousal support. Someone else can man the phones. At this point, IMHO, folks have probably made up their minds so you reach diminishing returns anyway. Also, turnout for early voting is VERY high, so it looks like motivation is already there ;-)
I’m sure your M.D. is already on it, but make sure spousal Vit-D and Calcium & Magnesium levels are checked. Bone weakness can come from too low of them or the wrong Ca / Mg balance.
@GallopingCamel I really can’t see how Cunningham can win at this point (outside of cheating, which is a distinct possibility). His phony “aw shucks” facade has been pulled down and he’s doing a Biden, not showing up very much in public and avoiding answering questions (which is never a good look for a politician). I voted the first day of early voting here in NC and voted straight R.
Also, keeping you and your wife in my thoughts and prayers, you have to take care of your own first, before you can take care of others.
I don’t know if anybody here has seen this, but apparently there are roughly 10 states with extremely lax online security, which appears to allow someone to cancel people’s mail-in ballots. The states are: Alaska, Arkansas, California, Florida, Indiana, North Carolina, Oregon, Oklahoma, Texas and Washington. Apparently in these states, all you need to access the voter registration site is someone’s name and DOB.
Here’s an article with more information:

@Pinroot:
Oh is that going to be fun….
I did see where, IIRC, someone used that (trivial) hack to make the Gov. Of Washington (IIRC) have voted for Trump. I didn’t realize so many other States were similarly stupid.
Consider that China has sucked up ID information, including DOB, for millions of folks (including the entire Federal Employees & Contractors system (I am in it as I did a contract for the Federal Reserve…)) and likely Russia has the same… Then ALL financial systems and schools have it (in college, before it was illegal, I gained access to many accounts on the college mainframe via finding a flaw in how it did swap vs how FORTRAN did ‘open for random write’ on files. Probably one of the few ever system hacks using FORTRAN :-)
How many other companies and agencies? DMV, medical, insurance, court records (public by law… back when folks were being litigated for publishing the decss code to break CD encryption, I published a URL to the online legal filing at the courthouse that included the decss code…. required to be public by law… Ain’t I a stinker 8-) Suing Bastard, meet your own petard. ) And so many more.
The only thing they can do is shut it off at this point. But I doubt they will.
Well it looks like those States will have no mail-in votes to count.
Dem operatives will cancel every (R) ballot And someone who wants Trump reelected (not the Republican party, I can assure you) will hire a small cadre of hackers-for-hire and cancel every (D) ballot.
It could happen. It’s quite possible that only in-person votes will be officially cast and counted as all mail-in votes will have been cancelled in those States.
PS: I hear Macedonian content farmers are looking for work since Hillary wasn’t running this time. They did her in last time, according to Hillary. Those were good times in Macedonia. Good times. 😜
@H.R. Lol, I thought the very same thing, D’s cancelling R’s, and R’s canceling D’s. I voted in person, with the old style ballots, fill in the circle and let the machine scan it. I normally don’t vote straight D or R, but after the past four years of the Dems temper tantrums and everything else, no way I could vote for any Dems. They have pushed me father right than I would have thought.
My friend Barry can’t stand for more than a few minutes so he was thinking about mailing in his ballot.
However, last Friday it was raining cats & dogs in Durham, North Carolina so we went to his nearest voting station to find not a single soul in line. Then it got even better since Barry was able to vote without getting out of the car thanks to “Curbside Voting”. Is North Carolina the only state to offer this highly civilized way for handicapped people to vote?
Thanks for all your kind thoughts. The doctor was very pleased with my wife’s progress on her first post surgery check up.
For the last 20 years the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy (Chapel Hill local) has met at 0900 hours every Friday. The location is the Bob Evans restaurant where I-40 intersects 15-501.
The restaurant was closed briefly for “Indoor Dining” owing to COVID-19 but it reopened five months ago. On June 5 only four VRWC members showed up. Since then the attendance has grown to an average of 12 which is much lower than the pre-COVID numbers.
To get our low attendance into perspective it is encouraging to note that our meetings attract more attendees than most Biden rallies. Also our gatherings are much more lively even though the average age of the attendees is ~75 years.
Gallopingcamel, your club follows in a long tradition. Here in ‘merrie’ Edinburgh, Scotland, The Oyster Club. Good times and enlightened conversation. ( washed down with claret and oysters.)
The Oyster Club
8-12 Niddry Street South, Edinburgh, EH1 1NS
‘This weekly dining club for scientists and philosophers met regularly throughout the 1770s. It had been established by the great economist and political philosopher Adam Smith, the chemist Joseph Black and the geologist James Hutton. The club was attended by a veritable constellation of Edinburgh’s most brilliant thinkers, including John Playfair, Adam Ferguson, David Hume and Sir James Hall. It also payed host to a wide variety of visiting international scientists, including the French geologist Barthélémy Faujas de Saint Fond, James Watt the engineer and inventor from Glasgow, and Benjamin Franklin the American scientist and inventor.’
@beththeserf,
Sounds like you are having fun in Scotland. You certainly have plenty of outstanding people associated with your club. Most of my time in Scotland was spent setting up a telecommunications factory in East Kilbride for STC (a subsidiary of the ITT corporation).
Some members of our VRWC group have been taking on-line courses from Hillsdale College covering US history, the US constitution, the Federalist papers, the Supreme court, Atistotle, Judeo-Christian culture and related topics.
Our concern is that many of the institutions here have been corrupted, including the Department of Justice, the FBI, the CIA and several other three letter agencies. Our best hope for the future is to re-establish the rights of all Americans guaranteed by the Constitution and that requires undoing the works of the Progressives over the last 100 years. They promised us a selfless aristocracy of “Experts” to run the country but what we got was an oligarchy controlled by self serving elites. Maybe things can improve thanks to the three new associate justices appointed by Donald Trump.
Sounds like you’re in a John Adams kind of club, gallopingcamel. ) Re merrie Scotland, I am not a Scot, my use of the word ‘here’ was confusing, I am from Oz, Scottish grandparents. But yes, the Oyster Club, what a membership!
