THANK YOU to ALL who have given their All in this pivotal campaign, worked their buns off, done everything possible within their ken! ♡

I believe we are ALL IN to Reclaim Sacred Ground of Truth for the United States of America.

And to the extent to which the USA demonstrates to the world, we are espousing Truth for Humanity all over this precious planet.

Nothing nore, Nothing less!

The absolute best comet photo! Thank you...and for your tireless work to save us from disastrous politics. We are almost there and I know I for one breathed a sigh of relief at Kamala's perfect closer. She is clearly what we desperately need.

Laughed real hard at nano-Scaramucci! Poor guy…his name will live in infamy. The picture of the comet was just perfect, like the light at the end of the tunnel.

Hi from Maine!

I loved both the nano-Scaramucci jab and the New Jersey Yankees. As an East Coast Dodger/Red Sox fan San Francisco is the enemy!

I hope Robert's sense of humor is truly strong as a misteak hear or their does not consern or botha me. A word or frase does not damidge the entent and in mi mine perfactin is overratted. I think we waist too much tim on the littllee thinggs and neglect the big ones!

Thanks for the many laughs this morning! I definitely needed and enjoyed them!

My niece just sent this to me. She called it “terrifying”. Don’t know if I’d go that far, but nothing Trump and his minions might do would surprise me. Would love to know what you think.

Robert, I love this newsletter and your superbly informed insights. I typically agree with you 100%. This is my first disagreement: I believe that we reclaimed the White House as the people’s house, the Oval Office and the Resolute Desk , and the presidency as an office of trust when Joe Biden took office. I believe Kamala will “maintain” these treasures of our republic if elected.

Robert, you wrote about that brief unit of time called the “nano-Scaramucci.” It is also sometimes referred to as an "ohnosecond" - that moment right after you hit "Send" and realize your mistake and exclaim, "OH NO!"

Thank you - AGAIN - for your informative and uplifting words.

It seems to me Biden was saying that the Republican Puerto Rico garbage "joke" was itself garbage and NOT that Trump's followers are garbage.

Why are both speeches given by the candidates considered closing arguments? Won't they still be campaigning?

The pundit class (crass?) is regressing, not necessarily to the mean, with regard to Senate races-A "Red Wave" is now expected by NYT/Siena, to "retake" the Senate- PA, MD,WV, MT, MI and blah,blah, blah, are all "expected to go Republican!" Texas and Nebraska "cannot possibly" fall to the Democrats. My take- West Virginia and Montana MAY go Republican; the others, nice try A.G.

Thanks Robert... I always thought the definition of a "nano-Scaramucci" was the time between when the traffic light turns green and the car behind you honks his horn. Oh, Wait... that's the definition of a "split-second" :-) Thanks for your wonderful news letters.
