President Donald Trump will hold the “largest
virtual rally” on Rush Limbaugh’s radio program on Friday, October 9. From
Rush Limbaugh’s website:
Number one. How incredible was Vice
President Pence last night? He was stand-up-and-cheer outstanding. It was just…
it was great.
And number two. I’m thrilled to
announce that our commander-in-chief, President Donald Trump, will be right
here tomorrow hosting the largest virtual rally in radio history. Be sure to
tune in. You don’t want to miss this. It will be special. And I am really
looking forward to it.
Now, later today, folks, we’re
gonna be posting more details on the Rush Limbaugh website and on the Rush
Limbaugh Facebook page. So keep a sharp eye out there. And you know what?
There’s gonna be a special in-box set up for you to send your questions for
President Trump. So be thinking of things you’d like to ask him today, and then
get ready for the largest virtual rally in radio history tomorrow.
Oh — and, folks, thank you again for all of your continued prayers. I am so moved by your support. You know that I know and believe that they work. And I cannot tell you how appreciative my family and I are for all of you. Thank you, again, very much.
Greater Cleveland area listeners can tune in on Friday at noon to WTAM Radio 1100.

Justin Haskins is, I think, rightfully concerned about the November elections – at all levels. His column at Townhall ("America Is Headed For A Voter-Fraud Nightmare in November") concludes:
Never before has America’s
political class so willingly and eagerly marched the country toward predictable
and preventable chaos. Mail-in balloting is, in fact, not a truly secure way of
holding an election. Even if large-scale fraud does not occur, the perception
will be that it did, and that should have been enough for politicians concerned
about voters’ faith in the election process to enact policies that would have
encouraged in-person balloting, a much safer route.
Unfortunately, that did not occur,
so unless it’s a total blowout on Election Day, it seems inevitable the country
is on the road to disaster. When we get there, Americans should know who to
blame.
That would be the political class – D’s for aggressively
pushing mail-in voting (and attempting to extend the deadline for counting ballots well past Election Day) and R’s for not aggressively pushing back. Our household will be voting in person on
Election Day. Mr. Haskins's column is here.

Guest post by PatD:
CDC recently updated estimated infection fatality rates for
COVID. Here are the updated survival rates by age group:
0-19: 99.997%
20-49: 99.98%
50-69: 99.5%
70+: 94.6%
Remember also that 94% of the fatalities had other
morbidities, such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease and cancer, according to
the CDC.
If you are old like me, or our overweight President, you
face a greater risk, but, for most people the chances of dying from COVID-19
are minimal. Yet, we are destroying the lives of children by keeping schools
shut down for most of the year. We are destroying countless small businesses
for a virus that is less deadly than the flu. We have shut down live sports and
entertainment for no good reason.
We all know of people who have died with COVID-19. But we
know of far more people who have died from other causes, such as traffic
accidents, drowning, murder, cancer, heart disease and so on. The problem is we
not balancing out the risk factors.
For example, we lose 37,000 people a year in traffic
accidents. From 1899 to 2013, it is estimated 3.6 million people died in
traffic accidents. Unlike COVID-19, people will continue to die in traffic
accidents for the foreseeable future. If we cut the speed limit to 15 mph and
require vehicles to be limited to a top speed of 15 mph, we would just about
eliminate those deaths. But society won't do that. The convenience and time
savings from much higher speed limits outweigh the risk of dying in a traffic
accident.
The treatment the President received was little different
from that received by most hospitalized COVID-19 patients. The only difference
was that he was given an experimental therapeutic that is not yet approved for
general use. Our healthcare system has learned a lot since March and the death
rates are dropping as better therapies are used to treat patients.

Stephen Green, a/k/a Vodkapundit will drunkblog the Vice Presidential debate tonight, so you don’t have to watch.
It should be lots of fun
drunkblogging the three of them butting heads, and so I do hope you’ll tune in
for it on the PJM homepage at about 8:45 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday.
That’s PJ Media's homepage here.

Overnight someone erected a massive Trump sign on the hills along the 405 Freeway in the Sepulveda Pas. According to local media “the sign supporting President Trump faced northbound lanes near Getty Center Drive. The white lettering appears to be around 10 feet tall and mimics the style of the landmark Hollywood sign.”
Here's 27 seconds of fun via Conservative Treehouse:
I first came across Caroline Glick ‘s columns at The Jerusalem Post. Over the weekend, Instapundit linked to her post at her own website. It’s an excellent essay, and it concludes:
And this brings us to Democrat
projection. Since the impeachment hearings last January, Democrat lawmakers and
aligned media have been pushing the claim that Trump will refuse to accept the
election results if he loses. Just as Trump is repeatedly asked whether he
condemns white supremacists, he and his campaign advisors have been asked
repeatedly by reporters whether he intends to concede if the results of the
election are not in his favor. At Tuesday’s debate, Wallace continued the
practice. He asked the candidates to pledge to accept the election results.
Biden quickly agreed. Trump refused
to play the sucker’s game.
The President noted that the
Democrats still haven’t accepted the results of the 2016 elections and tried to
oust him from power through false allegations of collusion with Russia that
Clinton invented while working with Russia. He also pointed out the ease with
which mail-in votes can be, and allegedly already are being falsified by
Democrats.
It is impossible to know how the
election will pan out or when, if ever, the true results will be known. What is
clear however is that if you want to understand who the Democrats are and what
they are doing, all you need to do is look at what they are accusing Trump and
his colleagues of being and of doing.
