investmentwatchblog--2020-11-03--SHOP NOW: Places Other Than The Grocery Store Where You Can Buy Food In-Person, Last Minute

by Daisy Luther of The Organic Prepper As we head into the last days before the hotly contested presidential election , it isn ’ t just preppers who are getting stocked up and planning to hunker down .
Americans , in general , have an overall really bad feeling about the aftermath and the possibility of violence .
Even those who lean left and general eschew prepping have been quietly getting ready for what might come .
Don ’ t be surprised this weekend if you discover that last-minute run to the grocery store may not be as fruitful as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do we have the election coming up , but lockdown restrictions are beginning to tighten again .
We could be looking at empty shelves similar to the ones we faced last March .
Unless you are totally stocked up , I suggest you head out as early as possible Saturday morning and top off your supplies .
If you wait until later in the weekend , or even later in the day , you may find the choices are limited if they are available at all .
The following suggestions are about as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
These are the things I recommend when the things you want are no longer available .
Here are some places you may be able to buy food when there ’ s none in the grocery stores .
If you find this to be the case , don ’ t panic .
There are still other places you can shop and grab some last-minute items .
These probably won ’ t be the cheapest places to shop and you may not get exactly what you want , but you may get lucky and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ store ( Here ’ s more info on what you can buy at the dollar store ) • Pharmacies ( They often have a small food section with snacks , bread , crackers , and some canned goods ) • Office supply stores ( You can sometimes find bulk purchases meant for stocking up the office lunchroom ) • Clearance stores like Big Lots or Liquidation World ( Check the expiration dates but food is food , right now ) • Discount stores like Dollar General ( Use the same rules you would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Convenience stores/gas stations ( This will be mostly snacky foods but you should be able to find plenty – also load up on electrolyte drinks in case someone gets sick ) • Hardware stores ( They often have chips , candy , crackers , and such near the registers . )

Well , you can also slip these items into your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ candy , popcorn , fancy grains , soup mixes , condiments , teas , and all sorts of other tasty foods .
• Asian or Indian markets ( These can be a godsend for rice , beans , noodles , produce , and seasonings ) Expect limits to be in places .
They ’ re popping up all over the nation .
You can have more than one person go through the line if you have a large family , or you can hit more than one store and purchase to the limit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a few things NOT to do if you find yourself in this predicament .
• Don ’ t hit the grocery store , then go to another grocery store , then throw your hands up in the air and say “ it ’ s too late , there ’ s no food !
” Get out there and start scrounging and hitting the places that aren ’ t your normal food shopping locations .
Do not return home empty handed .
• Don ’ t let people who accuse you of panic-buying or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you have no business being out there stocking up .
Your family has just as much right to the food and supplies that are available as everyone else ’ s .
• Don ’ t pin your hopes on mail order .
Sure , that order from Amazon might get through .
But then again it might not .
Many of the long-term food storage places are back-ordered for weeks now and a lot of people have reported ordering things from Amazon , then weeks later getting a notification that their money is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coming .
I strongly recommend making physical purchases .
• Don ’ t get into any altercations .
The food that is at the store is not worth your life .
Tensions will be high , and when people become desperate , they can be rude , pushy , and even aggressive .
Getting into a fight will most likely mean that neither you nor the aggressor will end up walking out the door with the food .
Focus on what you can do , and don ’ t let anyone deter you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ above , please start as early in the day as possible to get the things you want and need .
If anyone in your household has essential prescription medications , get them ASAP , even if you have to pay out of pocket for the refill .
The following suggestions are from an article I wrote the last time the shelves got picked over .
These ideas will still apply to our current situation .
Again , I really don ’ t want to see anyone in the comments complaining about how these @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
But when you have waited until the last minute , you switch from optimal supplies to supplies that will keep you alive .
When the store is out of water There are lots of other options if the water aisle looks like this .
They may not be as healthy but they ’ ll keep you from dying of dehydration .
• Soda pop ( not too much though because that can be dehydrating instead of replenishing ) A good trick here is to go to the aisle where people get individually @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
You ’ ll find all sorts of beverage pouches and plastic bottles of drinks here .
I warned you – not the healthiest , but healthy is no longer available .
Trust me when I tell you it will be far better than having nothing available to drink .
Oh – and don ’ t forget the wine .
It won ’ t really rehydrate you , but you won ’ t care as much that you don ’ t have water .
Finally , use containers .
You still have running @ @ @ @ @ @ @ already have and/or buy containers , wash them , and fill them up .
No one is going to be sold out of containers unless you specifically look for “ Water Containers.
” Grab mason jars , pitchers , canisters , etc .
Just make sure they ’ re food-safe and you ’ re good .
What to buy when the store is out of those meals in a box Everyone seems to be looking for things like macaroni and cheese , hamburger helper , and ramen noodles .
If this is something @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are some options .
( Some of these are healthier than the original . )
• Get plain pasta and cheese powder to DIY your mac and cheese • Get powdered milk to use for when you run out of regular refrigerator milk • Instead of ramen , get angel hair pasta , cook as directed , and add some soy sauce , garlic powder , and onion powder • In place of Hamburger Helper and that type of thing , use regular pasta or rice , a few spices ( like an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a jar of marinara sauce .
For a creamy version , go with garlic powder , onion powder , and cream of mushroom soup concentrate .
All of these options are very simple to make .
What to buy when the store is out of rice Rice seems to be a big seller and for good reason .
It ’ s cheap and it can really extend a meal .
When I stopped by Walmart to look at what was low , they were down to only the teeny tiny bags of rice @ @ @ @ @ @ @ – yes , they ’ re much more expensive but better than no rice at all .
• Get a different grain like pasta , quinoa , amaranth , or barley .
What to buy when the store is out of canned food The things that tend to be gone first are items like canned pasta meals , soups , and chili .
That makes sense because they ’ re pretty reasonable meals when heated up slightly , and can even be eaten cold out of the can in a worst-case scenario .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ available , look to these items : • Canned baked beans ( tasty right out of the can at room temp • Canned V-8 and a can of mixed vegetables ( turn that into soup ) • Canned potatoes ( Mash them up or put them on the grill ) Try a different store – Walmart isn ’ t the only game in town .
I had fantastic luck at Aldi getting my kids well-supplied .
I was able to get them entire cases of canned fruits and veggies .
Or move away @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what they ’ ve got over on the International Food aisle : • Noodle bowls that just need boiling water • Soup that may not be as familiar Look in other areas for shelf-stable food .
• Pouches of precooked rice ( some have beans and other vegetables mixed in ) • That squirty yogurt you get in pouches ( the shelf-stable kind , not the refrigerated kind ) You get the idea .
Go out there and be creative .
Scan every aisle to look for things that won ’ t spoil @ @ @ @ @ @ @ know whenever I ’ ve grabbed this kind of stuff , my girls have been thrilled since we don ’ t usually keep junk food in the house .
What to buy when the store is out of toilet paper Toilet paper has been a biggie .
There are videos online of people literally coming to blows over TP to wipe their behinds .
If your store is out of toilet paper , check out the following options .
• Baby wipes or “ flushable ” wipes ( regardless of what the package @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you won ’ t be able to get a plumber to your house if you ’ re quarantined . )
• Paper towels – not soft but it will get your heinie clean – also do not flush • Kleenex – pro-tip – do not get the ones infused with Vicks .
Even the cheapest facial tissues out there will be a lot more expensive than toilet paper but it ’ s better than nothing .
• Order from Amazon .
They still have tons and tons of TP .
I just ordered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ • Go to an office supply store or a janitorial warehouse • If you simply can not manage to acquire toilet paper , you ’ re going to have to use cloth .
Treat it like you would a cloth diaper and have a bucket by the toilet for soaking so that your homemade wipes come clean easily .
Here ’ s an article about it .
Think creatively for bum-wiping .
Toilet paper is a relatively new , albeit wonderful , invention .
What to get when the store is out of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seem to be running low on bleach , Lysol , and cleaning wipes .

As we head into the last days before the hotly contested presidential election, it isn’t just preppers who are getting stocked up and planning to hunker down. Americans, in general, have an overall really bad feeling about the aftermath and the possibility of violence. Even those who lean left and general eschew prepping have been quietly getting ready for what might come.

Not only do we have the election coming up, but lockdown restrictions are beginning to tighten again. We could be looking at empty shelves similar to the ones we faced last March.
Unless you are totally stocked up, I suggest you head out as early as possible Saturday morning and top off your supplies. If you wait until later in the weekend, or even later in the day, you may find the choices are limited if they are available at all.
The following suggestions are about as far from organic as you can get. These are the things I recommend when the things you want are no longer available.
Here are some places you may be able to buy food when there’s none in the grocery stores.
If you find this to be the case, don’t panic. There are still other places you can shop and grab some last-minute items. These probably won’t be the cheapest places to shop and you may not get exactly what you want, but you may get lucky and still find inventory.
The dollar store (Here’s more info on what you can buy at the dollar store)
Pharmacies (They often have a small food section with snacks, bread, crackers, and some canned goods)
Office supply stores (You can sometimes find bulk purchases meant for stocking up the office lunchroom)
Clearance stores like Big Lots or Liquidation World (Check the expiration dates but food is food, right now)
Discount stores like Dollar General (Use the same rules you would for the dollar store food)
Convenience stores/gas stations (This will be mostly snacky foods but you should be able to find plenty – also load up on electrolyte drinks in case someone gets sick)
Hardware stores (They often have chips, candy, crackers, and such near the registers.)
Large home and gift stores (Places like TJ Maxx and Homegoods often have row after row of gourmet goodies just waiting to be slipped into a fancy gift basket. Well, you can also slip these items into your pantry. Grab seasonings, snacks, candy, popcorn, fancy grains, soup mixes, condiments, teas, and all sorts of other tasty foods.
Asian or Indian markets (These can be a godsend for rice, beans, noodles, produce, and seasonings)
Expect limits to be in places. They’re popping up all over the nation. You can have more than one person go through the line if you have a large family, or you can hit more than one store and purchase to the limit.
What NOT to do
There are a few things NOT to do if you find yourself in this predicament.
Don’t hit the grocery store, then go to another grocery store, then throw your hands up in the air and say “it’s too late, there’s no food!” Get out there and start scrounging and hitting the places that aren’t your normal food shopping locations. Do not return home empty handed.

Your family has just as much right to the food and supplies that are available as everyone else’s.

Tensions will be high, and when people become desperate, they can be rude, pushy, and even aggressive. Getting into a fight will most likely mean that neither you nor the aggressor will end up walking out the door with the food.
Focus on what you can do, and don’t let anyone deter you from your path.
What to buy
As I mentioned above, please start as early in the day as possible to get the things you want and need.
If anyone in your household has essential prescription medications, get them ASAP, even if you have to pay out of pocket for the refill.
The following suggestions are from an article I wrote the last time the shelves got picked over. These ideas will still apply to our current situation. Again, I really don’t want to see anyone in the comments complaining about how these options are not organic. I know. But when you have waited until the last minute, you switch from optimal supplies to supplies that will keep you alive.
When the store is out of water
There are lots of other options if the water aisle looks like this. They may not be as healthy but they’ll keep you from dying of dehydration.
Sports drinks (like Gatorade)
Flavored or sparkling water
Juice boxes or individual bottles
Juice
Soda pop (not too much though because that can be dehydrating instead of replenishing)
Vegetable juice
Premade iced tea
A good trick here is to go to the aisle where people get individually packaged stuff for their kids’ lunches. You’ll find all sorts of beverage pouches and plastic bottles of drinks here.
I warned you – not the healthiest, but healthy is no longer available. Trust me when I tell you it will be far better than having nothing available to drink. Oh – and don’t forget the wine. It won’t really rehydrate you, but you won’t care as much that you don’t have water.
Finally, use containers. You still have running water, right? Use vessels you already have and/or buy containers, wash them, and fill them up. No one is going to be sold out of containers unless you specifically look for “Water Containers.” Grab mason jars, pitchers, canisters, etc. Just make sure they’re food-safe and you’re good.
What to buy when the store is out of those meals in a box
Everyone seems to be looking for things like macaroni and cheese, hamburger helper, and ramen noodles. If this is something you desire for your stockpile, here are some options. (Some of these are healthier than the original.)
We are primarily funded by readers. Please subscribe and donate to support us!
Get plain pasta and cheese powder to DIY your mac and cheese
Get powdered milk to use for when you run out of regular refrigerator milk
Instead of ramen, get angel hair pasta, cook as directed, and add some soy sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder
In place of Hamburger Helper and that type of thing, use regular pasta or rice, a few spices (like an Italian spice blend) and a half a jar of marinara sauce. For a creamy version, go with garlic powder, onion powder, and cream of mushroom soup concentrate.
All of these options are very simple to make.
What to buy when the store is out of rice
Rice seems to be a big seller and for good reason. It’s cheap and it can really extend a meal. When I stopped by Walmart to look at what was low, they were down to only the teeny tiny bags of rice.
Buy the teeny tiny bags – yes, they’re much more expensive but better than no rice at all.
Get a different grain like pasta, quinoa, amaranth, or barley.
What to buy when the store is out of canned food
The things that tend to be gone first are items like canned pasta meals, soups, and chili. That makes sense because they’re pretty reasonable meals when heated up slightly, and can even be eaten cold out of the can in a worst-case scenario.
If your desired canned goods are not available, look to these items:
Canned baked beans (tasty right out of the can at room temp
Canned refried beans
Canned V-8 and a can of mixed vegetables (turn that into soup)
Canned potatoes (Mash them up or put them on the grill)
Canned fish
Try a different store – Walmart isn’t the only game in town. I had fantastic luck at Aldi getting my kids well-supplied. I was able to get them entire cases of canned fruits and veggies.
Or move away from the regular canned goods and see what they’ve got over on the International Food aisle:
Noodle bowls that just need boiling water
Soup that may not be as familiar
Small cans of salsa or enchilada sauce
Look in other areas for shelf-stable food.
Pudding
Applesauce
Pouches of precooked rice (some have beans and other vegetables mixed in)
Peanut butter
Breakfast cereal
Granola bars
Jerky
Candy
Veggie chips
Potato chips
Pre-popped popcorn
Fruit cups
That squirty yogurt you get in pouches (the shelf-stable kind, not the refrigerated kind)
Vienna sausages
Pre-cooked bacon
You get the idea. Go out there and be creative. Scan every aisle to look for things that won’t spoil that your family will eat. I know whenever I’ve grabbed this kind of stuff, my girls have been thrilled since we don’t usually keep junk food in the house.
What to buy when the store is out of toilet paper
Toilet paper has been a biggie. There are videos online of people literally coming to blows over TP to wipe their behinds. If your store is out of toilet paper, check out the following options.
Baby wipes or “flushable” wipes (regardless of what the package says, do not flush these – you won’t be able to get a plumber to your house if you’re quarantined.)
Paper towels – not soft but it will get your heinie clean – also do not flush
Kleenex – pro-tip – do not get the ones infused with Vicks. Even the cheapest facial tissues out there will be a lot more expensive than toilet paper but it’s better than nothing.
Order from Amazon. They still have tons and tons of TP. I just ordered this which will arrive on Monday.
Go to an office supply store or a janitorial warehouse
If you simply cannot manage to acquire toilet paper, you’re going to have to use cloth. Treat it like you would a cloth diaper and have a bucket by the toilet for soaking so that your homemade wipes come clean easily. Here’s an article about it.
Think creatively for bum-wiping. Toilet paper is a relatively new, albeit wonderful, invention.
What to get when the store is out of bleach and cleaning supplies
Lots of stores seem to be running low on bleach, Lysol, and cleaning wipes.
You can make bleach from pool shock (calcium hypochlorite). Get pool shock at your local swimming pool and jacuzzi store and be sure to select one that doesn’t have additions like algaecide. Here are instructions on how to make bleach from pool shock.
Hit up your local office supply store like Staples or Business Depot for cleaning supplies. They’ll be more expensive than Walmart but you may be able to find what you need.
Try the hardware store, grocery store, or dollar store for cleaning supplies.
Think creatively – all sorts of stores sell cleaning products.
What to get when the store is out of over-the-counter medications
If the first store you visit is out of OTC meds that you want to have on hand, you still have some options.
Visit pharmacies.
Most grocery stores have a pharmacy section.
You can order them on Amazon for both adults and children. (Make this an absolute last resort – there’s no guarantee if or when they’ll arrive.)
The dollar store carries some OTC meds in smaller packages. You might also find them at places like Dollar General and Family Dollar.
If you are really, truly desperate, truck stops and gas stations have small, expensive single packs of a lot of different medications.
Way to get out there and do your best!
Look, we all know this isn’t an ideal situation. You’re probably kicking yourself too for not stocking up sooner, so you don’t need random people on the internet doing it too. Sure, you waited later than is optimal but you are doing the best you can, and I commend you for doing so. Ignore the jerks – most of us are really glad you’re here and you’re trying.

If Taylor published the column under his own name and title, it wouldn’t pack nearly the punch it did the way it was shrouded in mystery and secrecy. The only reason the Times would play this game was to deceive its readers, and the entire media world, into thinking the author was someone of far more prominence than Mr. Anonymous, Miles Taylor…. [T]he media spun a tale of a ‘top administration official’ working for Trump going public through The New York Times that turned out to be yet another massive letdown. The American public has seen the extreme lengths to which the press… has gone in abandoning its principles in the service of its perceived existential fight with the guy in the White House.”
FROM 2016, BUT EVEN MORE TRUE TODAY: This Election Has Disgraced the Entire Profession of Journalism.. “This election has exposed as never before that there is indeed a media elite, bound together by class and geography, that is utterly clueless about its own biases and filters.”

Here is the evidence:
Early-voting numbers show President Trump, in the words of Wayne Allyn Root, “is doing extraordinarily well in early voting in Florida, Nevada, Iowa, North Carolina and Arizona. Trump and Republicans are…kicking the Democrats’ butts — with the physical votes on Election Day still to come. And we all know Republicans rule on Election Day.” Battleground states show the President is outperforming his numbers from his race against Hillary four years ago. Root: “Trafalgar Group, which ran the most accurate state-by-state poll of 2016 by factoring in the ‘shy Trump voters’ (people afraid to tell a stranger on the phone they support Trump), shows Trump taking the lead this week in Florida, Michigan, North Carolina and Pennsylvania.” In Florida , Trump is leading in the Democratic strongholds od Miami-Dade County and Palm Beach County in early voting. Root: “That’s like winning the lottery. That’s like two lightning strikes in the same spot. That’s an election miracle.”

Pennsylvania‘s 3 most accurate pollsters in 2016 have Trump ahead by 47.8-45.9; 49.2-48.4; and 48-48. Black voters: Last Thursday, Oct. 29, Rasmussen Reports released polling data showing 31% of likely Black voters saying they would vote for Trump, which is unprecedented. In 2016, exit polls showed just 8% of Blacks voted for Trump. Hispanics: An Investors Business Daily/TIPP poll found 36.5% of Hispanics supported Trump, an 8.5 percentage point jump from 2016. (Western Journal) Economy: Last Friday, the third-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) was released, which showed a phenomenal 33.1% economic growth, the highest in U.S. history. Also last Friday, Poll Watch came out with its electoral map, which shows a Trump landslide of 312 electoral votes to 226, 8 more than the Trump landslide in 2016 of 304:227. (Root) Yesterday (Sunday), former Governor Mike Huckabee said Trump will win by a “substantial” margin, and that “it will cause people’s heads to explode because they just can’t see it coming. I said four years ago Donald Trump would win. I got laughed at, challenged on-air many times. I’m going to say it again, mark my words, Donald Trump is going to still be president come January 20th.” (Fox News) Today’s Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll shows Trump with a 52% job-performance approval rating from likely voters (48% disapprove) — five points better than Obama’s at this same time in 2012 when he was heading for reelection victory. For me, the most compelling evidence are the anemic turnout for Biden’s campaign appearances (see “Joe Biden held a Labor Day event and 4 people came ) vs. the enthusiasm for Trump seen in the tens of thousands of people who attend his rallies.
What you can do:
Vote! Pray for the defeat of the demonic Left. Pray for the reelection of Donald Trump. Pray for America.

Polls tighten, raising odds of civil unrest:
–Trump drawing insanely large crowds in battleground states, dwarfing Biden’s audience;
— Minority turnout is disappointing compared to probable Trump voters;
— White House building big fence in anticipation, cops are on alert in big cities.
If stimulus is delayed through the holidays, mass bankruptcy and default in both private and public sectors. Malls, restaurant chains, airlines are all toast. Lockdown impoverished travel, government and so many millions. If they don’t money in a hurry, they are bankrupt. It would have been done if not for the election.

investmentwatchblog--2020-11-03--Here’s Why Trump Will Pull Off The Greatest Upset In US Political History On Tuesday

I ’ m on record predicting President Trump will pull off the greatest political upset of all-time .
But the important question is why ?
Democrats and the mainstream media don ’ t see this coming .
Here I will explain the dynamics that will produce a remarkable Trump upset win .
There are three factors Democrats and the media clearly don ’ t understand .
Law and order .
The Trump economy .
And Covid .
First , law and order .
I ’ ve made the comparison for months now with the Michael Dukakis election of 1988 .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ George H.W .
Bush won an electoral landslide .
Why ?
Law and order became the crucial issue in that election .
The same as today .
Willie Horton was a murderer let out on a work release program by Dukakis , the then Governor of Massachusetts .
Willie Horton murdered again .
Bush ’ s TV advertising campaign used Willie Horton to paint Dukakis as weak on crime .
It worked .
I knew then , what I know now .
America ’ s mothers and housewives will always vote to keep @ @ @ @ @ @ @ moment we witnessed terrible rioting , looting , burning , attacks on police and rising violent crime in deep-blue Democrat cities across America , starting with Minneapolis , Portland , Seattle and Chicago , and ending with Kenosha , Wisconsin and Philadelphia , the advantage changed to President Trump .
Biden and the Democrats made it much worse with promises to defund police , disband ICE and bring high-density , low-income housing to the suburbs .
Those loud and proud views made it clear Democrats were on the side of the rioters , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And by promising to bring low-income housing to suburbs , it was suddenly clear Democrats wanted “ equality of pain , misery and violence.
” Democrats are promising to bring crime , drugs and poverty to a neighborhood near you .
Mothers may not like Trump ’ s tweets or offensive comments , but in the end , they ’ ll always vote to protect their family .
Not to mention their home values .
Sorry , but it doesn ’ t matter if you ’ re a conservative , or liberal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ housing , criminals and drug deals next door to your $ 500,000 home .
Secondly , the economy .
As James Carville once famously said , “ It ’ s all about the economy , stupid.
” People don ’ t vote with their heart , they vote with their pocketbook or wallet .
Always have , always will .
Trump created the greatest economy perhaps in history , before Covid .
Household income for middle class Americans rose dramatically .
Everyone had a job .
Small businesses thrived .
Taxes were lower @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Who votes against that ?
Then Covid hit .
Trump didn ’ t stop Covid .
No leader anywhere in the world did .
Sadly , people ( especially very old and sick people ) die in pandemics .
No politician or policy can change that .
But what Trump did was make sure the cure wasn ’ t worse than the disease .
Trump kept the economy alive .
Trump ’ s strategy worked .
The government just announced 3rdQuarter GDP of 33.1 % - the highest economic growth in America ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ achieved that post-Covid miracle , while EU economies are dying .
Keep in mind Trump achieved this without the help of many Democrat states like New York , New Jersey , Pennsylvania , Michigan and California .
They were all pretty much shut down in the 3rdQuarter .
Keep in mind , this entire recovery is due to red Republican states like Texas , Florida , Georgia and Arizona who opened back up early .
Trump and Republican Governors saved the economy and the country .
Without your job , your income , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , we ’ d all be up the creek without a paddle .
Thank you , President Trump .
Remember that number 33.1 % GDP .
That ’ s the number that may clinch Trump ’ s victory on Tuesday .
“ It ’ s the economy , stupid.
” But I ’ ve saved the best and most important for last : Covid-19.Once again , it ties into the economy and your pocketbook .
Biden , Kamala and their emissaries ( such as Mayor Pete ) have all repeatedly promised if Biden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
They will close businesses .
They will enforce nationwide mask mandates .
Doubt them ?
In the EU they ’ re already closing down again with draconian lockdown laws and businesses shut .
Closer to home , 100 % Democrat-controlled Chicago just ordered all bars , taverns , nightclubs and indoor dining closed .
All those business owners are ruined .
All those jobs are lost .
How will all those people pay their bills ?
With cold , dark , winter descending on Illinois , what kind of depression , suicide @ @ @ @ @ @ @ abuse rates will we see ?
Is this a life worth living ?
Personally , I ’ d much rather take my chances with Covid .
Thank God , in America we have choice and freedom .
I value my job , career and income over a tiny chance of dying .
I don ’ t retreat over a germ , I choose to fight .
I choose to live my life .
President Trump has vowed to never lock us down , or close our businesses again .
In the end , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one issue driving Trump ’ s comeback victory .
The Silent Majority agrees .
This is the real reason so many Americans will vote for President Trump on Tuesday .
Because it ’ s either Trump , or we lose everything we have , everything we ’ ve built , everything that pays the bills .
It ’ s either Trump , or we lose not just our income , but our quality of life .
That ’ s what every Trump voter will be voting for on Tuesday .
That ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ off the greatest upset in US political history .

I’m on record predicting President Trump will pull off the greatest political upset of all-time.
But the important question is why?
Democrats and the mainstream media don’t see this coming. Here I will explain the dynamics that will produce a remarkable Trump upset win.
There are three factors Democrats and the media clearly don’t understand. Law and order. The Trump economy. And Covid.
First, law and order. I’ve made the comparison for months now with the Michael Dukakis election of 1988. Democrat Dukakis had a 17-point lead. George H.W. Bush won an electoral landslide. Why? Law and order became the crucial issue in that election. The same as today.
Willie Horton was a murderer let out on a work release program by Dukakis, the then Governor of Massachusetts. Willie Horton murdered again. Bush’s TV advertising campaign used Willie Horton to paint Dukakis as weak on crime. It worked.
I knew then, what I know now. America’s mothers and housewives will always vote to keep their children and neighborhoods safe.
The moment we witnessed terrible rioting, looting, burning, attacks on police and rising violent crime in deep-blue Democrat cities across America, starting with Minneapolis, Portland, Seattle and Chicago, and ending with Kenosha, Wisconsin and Philadelphia, the advantage changed to President Trump.
Biden and the Democrats made it much worse with promises to defund police, disband ICE and bring high-density, low-income housing to the suburbs. Those loud and proud views made it clear Democrats were on the side of the rioters, looters, torchers, and cop haters. And by promising to bring low-income housing to suburbs, it was suddenly clear Democrats wanted “equality of pain, misery and violence.” Democrats are promising to bring crime, drugs and poverty to a neighborhood near you.
Mothers may not like Trump’s tweets or offensive comments, but in the end, they’ll always vote to protect their family. Not to mention their home values. Sorry, but it doesn’t matter if you’re a conservative, or liberal. No one wants to see low-income housing, criminals and drug deals next door to your $500,000 home.
Secondly, the economy. As James Carville once famously said, “It’s all about the economy, stupid.” People don’t vote with their heart, they vote with their pocketbook or wallet. Always have, always will.
Trump created the greatest economy perhaps in history, before Covid. Household income for middle class Americans rose dramatically. Everyone had a job. Small businesses thrived. Taxes were lower. Prosperity and opportunity were plentiful. Who votes against that?

That’s young people — but what about the elderly woman who leaves her husband because he voted for Trump? What’s her excuse? What about the man in his twenties to cuts his mother off because she voted for Trump? What about the middle-aged man who turns family members against each other by going to holiday gatherings and not shutting his big fat mouth about how the “Demonrats” are going to be the death of us all? What do we do about a person like this?: Bandy X. Lee isn’t some nobody. She is a Yale University psychiatrist and holder of a master’s of divinity degree from Yale. And she believes that Trump supporters can only be persuaded to abandon their support for the sitting President of the United States by having some immense trauma visited upon them, along the lines of the firebombing of Dresden. How does someone come to believe that their countrymen need to be treated that way — need to see their cities leveled! — because of their politics? Again, I remind you: this isn’t some fringe nut, but a Yale-trained psychiatrist and religious thinker. This is the kind of elite figure who will usher in soft totalitarianism because she does not think her fellow Americans are simply wrong, but evil.
Interesting analogy – and possibly projection – coming from Lee (who’s certainly been redlining the Godwin Meter as of late) considering this week’s headlines: NYC businesses board up shops ahead of 2020 presidential election. “Meanwhile, shops in other cities across the US, including San Francisco, as well as in the nation’s capital, have also placed boards over their storefronts in anticipation of election-related chaos and turmoil. It was reported Monday that crews at the White House will build a ‘non-scalable’ fence around the entire complex ahead of the election.”

The exponential rise of debt, the increasing dependency on the government, and the expansion of central bank interventions into markets and the economy are some of the most problematic tendencies that were boosted in the current economic collapse. Now central bankers seem to be ready for their greatest power move ever. The Federal Reserve is about to launch Central Bank Digital Currency, as the International Monetary Fund has called out for a new “Bretton Woods Moment”.
Throughout the current crisis, the Fed got rid of its regulatory dual mandate of full employment and steady prices and given itself unrestricted powers to inject stimulus and bailout cash whenever it’s convenient. The Fed has been openly engaging in an inflation-raising campaign aiming to generate 2% annual inflation for an undefined period. The next step is the creation of a central bank digital currency, dubbed as “FedCoin”.
Even though authorities endorsement of the digital dollars might seem to be driven by generous intentions, whenever bankers and politicians give grand statements about a controversial matter, especially one that could supposedly provide so many solutions for current issues, they usually hide the fact that some freedoms might be at stake.
In simple terms, CBDCs can simply enforce negative interest rates for everyone. The Fed would be able to deduct interest from your digital wallet. And due to its ability to make direct payments, CBDCs would allow central banks to bypass the entire banking system, making it obsolete which, consequently, could spark a major banking crisis and exacerbate financial chaos in the markets.
CBDCs are the perfect cue to fully implement modern monetary theory. As a result, the central bank would become a tax collector and funder of all government operations, circumventing your local fiscal system and taking money directly from your wallet. The appeal of CBDCs is mainly linked to the introduction of Universal basic income (UBI), which is part of a government program that would provide free money to every adult on a regular basis.
But, of course, all of this generosity wouldn’t come without a catch. UBI is a synonym for more money printing, and therefore, to huge rates of inflation. And since inflation is a hidden tax, people wouldn’t be aware of the deterioration of their purchasing power and standard of living until it was too late.
On top of that, if the debasement of the paper currency through the inflation tax isn’t enough to hit the Fed’s inflation target of 2%, the central bank could also create an additional tax to dollar-holders in the form of negative interest rates.
Since people will only be able to spend the CBDCs using the digital app on their phones. This means the government will monitor, track, and record every single transaction you make. Through the CBDC, central banks would have the power to approve or deny any of your transactions.
Taking into account that all dollars in circulation are issued by the Fed, and their ulterior motive regarding the creation of a digital dollar is interconnected with the complete obliteration of paper money, the “FedCoin” will not be backed up by real dollars, which means it will not be seen as a stable, reliable currency in the markets.

TYLER O’NEIL: Here’s How Google Can Shift 15 Million Votes Without Anyone Realizing It.
In a chilling interview with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson, Ph.D. psychologist Robert Epstein reported that Google’s search engine has a “very substantial pro-liberal bias” and could swing 15 million votes in the 2020 election. Epstein studies the psychological effect of search results and he has a team of hundreds of people monitoring Google and other tech companies. He claimed that Google is effectively making a “huge in-kind donation” to campaigns like that of Democratic nominee Joe Biden.
“Based on the data that we’re collecting, I would say that if what we’re seeing is present nationwide, they are probably shifting this year in this election about 15 million votes without anyone’s awareness and except for what I’m doing, without leaving a paper trail for authorities to trace,” Epstein told Carlson on Saturday.
The psychologist noted that his team has “600 field agents in the swing states,” who have performed 150,000 searches, analyzing 1.5 million search results.
“We’re finding very substantial pro-liberal bias in all ten or at least nine out of ten search results on the first page of Google search results… not on Bing or Yahoo though,” Epstein reported. “And we’re seeing that bias in every single demographic group. In fact, in one report we generated recently, we saw more liberal bias in Google content going to conservatives than going to liberals.”
“That is the definition of propaganda,” Tucker Carlson responded. “They’re tailoring information to change the views of people in a very targeted way.”
He asked Epstein if it was legal for Google to attempt to influence millions of votes.
“There are no specific laws or regulations in place stopping a company like Google from doing something like this,” the psychologist admitted. “In fact, the courts have basically over and over again said they can exercise their free speech rights and show people anything they want to show people.”
