IT WAS REFRESHING – President Trump’s appearance on Rush Limbaugh’s radio talk show townhall Friday, provided more campaign insight than the commission for debates could ever hope to achieve from one of their poorly moderated events.

The president was permitted to speak on a wide-range of topics during his two-hour commercial-free appearance on the show that claims a 43-million listening audience.  

Conversely, the president wasn’t able to effectively get his messages out in the first debate in which he spoke for just 39 minutes, frequently interrupted by either the moderator or Biden in the 90-minute event.

During the session, Limbaugh played news clips of Joe Biden, and gave the president an opportunity to respond.  Biden’s remarks that Chris Wallace failed to surface.

In addition, Limbaugh read questions he received from listeners, giving Trump the opportunity to quash the Democrat talking point that he doesn’t support care for people with pre-existing conditions. 

Another caller voiced her concern that Trump supporters were called racist, to which the president explained that the left uses the race card when they are desperate. The latest showing of the race card came unashamedly from former first lady Michelle Obama, in her so-called closing argument for Biden.

When Limbaugh asked about word that the Durham report would not be released until after the election, the president expressed disappointment.  He said, “If this was the other side you would have 25 Republicans in jail for the rest of their lives with what we found,” Considering the political nature of the charges, the president added that Republicans would not “upset the apple cart,“ and they “don’t play the tough game.”

He has repeatedly said that he doesn’t want to interfere with Attorney General Barr’s process.

ON THAT SUBJECT – After reading my recently stated belief that Hillary Clinton would not see prison time, a close friend of mine from the great state of Kansas, expressed his disappointment in my position, which I base on reality.  Of course, I want all of the details of her anti-Trump activities with the Deep State revealed. And, too, I want those “access payments” made in the form of contributions to the Clinton Foundation uncovered.

THERE MAY BE SOME HOPE – Secretary of State Mike Pompeo indicated Friday that the detailed search and review of Clinton’s e-mails may be concluded soon,  and released prior to Election Day.   Verrrry interesting.

“TIME MAY BE RUNNING OUT,” writes Wisconsin’s Republican Sen. Ron Johnson his Wall Street Journal op-ed, “An American Coup Attempt,” a detailed chronicle beginning with the day of Donald Trump’s election.

“We have reached the moment of truth. For years, our efforts to obtain documents and testimony from federal intelligence agencies, including the FBI and CIA, have been stonewalled.

“Now Mr. Trump has authorized his subordinates to declassify and provide all information relevant to our investigations.  Will they comply with his directive, or will the insurrection continue?  We will hear howling and screaming that the president is politicizing the agencies and threatening national security.  But what is the greater threat to our democracy – transparency, or the continued coverup of an attempted coup against the duly elected president?”

WERE YOU LISTENING, JOE, when your Democrat Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, announced the formation of a commission to consider how presidential power can be transferred temporarily or permanently in the event a president is unable to carry out his duties?

Before you get excited over this latest attempt to oust President Trump, you should consider her statement that “it isn’t about Trump,” adding that the voters will take care of him in the election. 

It’s all about you, Joe.  Your party has nominated you to be their candidate, but privately they were admitting that knew you aren’t up to the presidency. It’s no longer private.  Pelosi’s commission is in preparation of addressing your ability to carry out the duties of president, should you miraculously pull out a win next month. You did hear, Joe, that she did say it was to determine a process for future presidents?

At the same time, as the president refuses to cave on her request for funds to bail out Democrat cities and states, Pelosi sees this as her opportunity to cast doubt among voters regarding the well-being following his hospitalization for Covid-19. 

AND FINALLY – Gallup polls announced that 56 percent of Americans believe they are better off than they were four years ago at the conclusion of the Obama-Biden administration.

May God continue to bless the United States of America.
