President Trump Decreases Debt to GDP Ratio Indicating Economy Growing Faster Than US Debt!
The ratio of debt to GDP is decreasing drastically — from 105.3% when Obama was President to 103.2% at the end of the 2nd Quarter of 2019! (Note that Obama increased the Debt to GDP ratio by 30% over his first two years and more than 40% during his two terms in office. Also, under Obama the Fed kept rates at 0% for his first seven years!
If President Trump had the same luxury of a 0% interest rate as Obama the Debt to GDP would be much less because US debt would be $1 trillion less.

CA Rep. Katie Hill Allegedly Involved Female Staffer in 2-Yr ‘Throuple’ Relationship
Freshman Rep. Katie Hill (D-CA), Vice Chair of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, shared with Elle in a June 2019 interview a quote from the late Rep. Elijah Cummings, Chairman of the Committee “that has stuck with her.”
In one of those first meetings, Hill says, Cummings said something that has stuck with her. “It [was] that our role on Oversight is to get to the truth and to follow the truth wherever it leads us and to expose that for the American people,” Hill tells me over the phone. “To make sure that they have the information that they should have to, frankly, evaluate their government.”
It is in that spirit that we are sharing information obtained from multiple confidential sources relating to Rep. Hill, who’s currently in divorce proceedings. It is this writer’s view that events that occur within a marriage or affairs that lead to its demise should be kept between the parties involved and are not the business of the general public. When those events or affairs occur within one of the parties’ workplace, though, and that workplace is the United States Congress, the public should know about them as they determine that elected official’s fitness to serve.

A recent report highlighting questionable ethics practices by “Illinois’ top political power couple” suggests the woman about to become Illinois’ top judge could have used her seat on the Illinois Supreme Court to benefit her indicted husband’s private law practice.
WBEZ in an Oct. 8 report identified at least 10 instances in which Illinois Supreme Court Justice Anne Burke decided on cases involving parties who at the time were being represented as clients of her husband’s law firm. The firm, Klafter & Burke, is where her husband, Chicago 14th Ward Ald. Ed Burke, was until recently a partner. Ed Burke gave up his partnership after being charged with corruption in a 14-count federal indictment. Anne Burke is about to become the high court’s chief justice.

More Hillary: Trump’s Game Plan is to Never Leave Office
Earlier Ed wrote about Hillary Clinton’s claim that the Russians are preparing Tulsi Gabbard for a third-party run to ensure Trump is reelected. That was certainly a highlight of Hillary’s appearance on the podcast hosted by David Plouffe, but it wasn’t the only truly paranoid thing she said.
A bit earlier in the same interview, Hillary argued that Trump’s goal was to ensure he never has to leave office. She’s wasn’t talking about a 2nd term after a successful reelection campaign. Hillary believes Trump is seeking to become a permanent American dictator.

Salesforce CEO: Break Up Facebook
Facebook is addictive, “not good for you,” and “they’re after your kids,” Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said Wednesday.
“It’s addictive, it’s not good for you, they’re after your kids, they’re running political ads that aren’t true … and they’re also acquiring other companies and co-mingling [data those companies have on their users] into theirs,” Benioff said during an appearance on CNN.
“And I think at that point, because they’re now doing that, that they probably should be broken up. Because they’re having an undue influence as the largest social media platform on the planet,” he added.

Trudeau Approval Hits All Time Low as Canadians Prepare to Vote
Canadians will vote to elect members of the federal House of Commons next Monday, amid a climate of ambivalence about their current leadership. Support for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has fallen sharply since 2016, his first full year in office, when nearly three in four (72%) said they approved of the way he is handling his job as prime minister. In 2019, for the first time, Canadians are more likely to say they disapprove (52%) than to say they approve (46%) of Trudeau’s job performance.

Autobahn Still Free of Speed Limit After Vote in Germany
Auto enthusiasts in Germany scored a major victory yesterday as the country’s federal parliament, the Bundestag, overwhelmingly voted to to defy a motion by the Green Party that would have asked the government to install a speed limit on the famous autobahn. The 80-mph limit suggested by the Greens would have effectively closed down one of the last roads where drivers can freely select their preferred speed.
The autobahn is a defining factor in the perception of Germany abroad, but the topic is highly contested and politically charged at home. While many Germans don’t wish to give up their no-limit autobahnen, others see the absence of a speed limit as an anachronism.

Germany to Enact Even Harsher Punishments and Surveillance on Hate Speech
Using the pretext of the recent attack in Halle in which no Jews were even hurt let alone killed, Germany’s Interior Minister announced a new six-point plan to combat antisemitism on Thursday:
Speaking to the federal parliament, the Bundestag, Interior Minister Horst Seehoffer acknowledged that “antisemitism is anchored in parts of our society.” His plan includes an obligation to report hate speech on the internet, bans on extremist political groups, a stricter weapons law and more prevention work by the authorities.

The people of both the United States and Britain were ensured certain rights. Both countries grant freedom of speech, although in modern society, speech considered “harmful, hurtful, or hateful” has been deemed, “hate speech” in much of Europe and in Britain.
This new worldview on dangerous words has made its way to the United States. “Progressive” activists such as Antifa and the 3rd wave feminist movement, would see freedom of speech hampered to end speech they find offensive.
Online “hate speech” is currently an arrestable and jailable offense in the United Kingdom. There is an entire branch of law enforcement devoted to policing words on the internet. Many have received jail time over tweets and Facebook posts others did not agree with. How did this happen? Section 127 of the Communications Act 2003 made this policing of words and subsequent punishment possible.
An article published by the Independent claims “According to the Register, a total of 2,500 Londoners have been arrested over the past five years for allegedly sending “offensive” messages via social media. In 2015, 857 people were detained, up 37 per cent increase since 2010.”
In the U.S., many are trying to push for “hate speech” laws, although the courts have ruled such laws unconstitutional thus far. The First Amendment protects the right to free speech, no matter how much some may not like what is being said.

Spain Jails Catalonia Independence Leaders for 13 Years
So how well did the decision to lock up nine senior figures from Catalonia’s independence movement go down? Well the protest fires burning on the streets of Barcelona tell you everything you need to know.
The anger was stoked in large part because the jail sentences were between nine and 13 years, which was seen as extremely harsh given the crimes.
The ensuing violence has been so bad, they’ve even had to move Spain’s biggest football match, the El Clasico, where the government upstarts Real Madrid take on the freedom fighters of Barcelona.

UK Lawmakers Vote for Letwin Proposals, Forcing Johnson Towards Brexit Delay
LONDON, Oct 19 (Reuters) — British lawmakers on Saturday voted for a proposal to withhold support for Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal until formal ratification legislation has passed, a step that will oblige him to ask the European Union for a Brexit delay.
Lawmakers voted 322-306 for the amendment, put forward by former Conservative lawmaker Oliver Letwin. It means that parliament will not vote on Saturday on whether to approve Johnson’s agreement.

Schumer, Pelosi to Address J Street Conference: Should Israel be Worried?
On Oct. 28, the two most powerful Democratic politicians in the United States, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), will headline the annual conference of J Street—a leftist (and, in reality, anti-Israel) lobbying organization.
Schumer’s presence at the conference is especially significant because he has been long regarded as a pro-Israel voice in the Senate. He regularly speaks at the annual conference of the pro-Israel lobby American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC)—the nemesis of J Street.
Traditional bipartisan support for Israel has been waning for some time as the pro-Palestine left wing of the Democratic Party gains more and more influence. This “fraternizing” with J Street by party leaders will likely send a signal to Israel that Democratic support in the U.S. Congress can no longer be relied upon.
While AIPAC has long worked with both Democrats and Republicans, J Street is an almost exclusively Democratic-focused operation. Its affiliated political action committee, JStreetPAC, raised $5 million for more than 100 Democratic candidates in the 2018 midterm elections, according to The Jerusalem Post.

Chile’s Capital Engulfed in Chaos as Metro Protests Intensify
Protests in Santiago, Chile’s capital, shut down metro service Friday afternoon and left a high-rise engulfed in flames, prompting President Sebastian Piñera to declare a state of emergency in the city.
The Santiago metro network will be closed through Sunday, according to its website, citing “serious damage.” The protesters, mostly high school students, according to The Associated Press, were spurred by the recent public transportation fare hikes. The students struck stations during the afternoon commute, dodging fares, damaging turnstiles and smashing glass, as seen on videos posted online. Large objects, such as a metal sheet, can be seen thrown onto the metro tracks, blocking incoming trains and sending sparks flying as it came into contact with the electrified rail.

Calling All Rosa Parks Americans
The Democratic Party, fake news media, ANTIFA, the Southern Poverty Law Center, Black Lives Matter, and LGBTQ enforcers are nothing more than anti-American and anti-Christian hate groups. They have launched a no-holds-barred war on traditional Americans. They have zero tolerance for any opposition to them transforming America. Along with social and financial destruction, opposing them could cost you your life…
For years, I warned of LGBTQ enforcers’ hidden scheme to force us to celebrate their anti-biblical lifestyle, while portraying themselves as victims who only desire tolerance. People laughed and called me paranoid. Today, if Democrats win the presidency, HR 5, the deceptively named “Equality Act” will become law. It mandates that every American kneel in worship to LGBTQ perversion. Christians are already being thrown into jail and run out of business for saying no to LGBTQ enforcers demanding that they betray Jesus.
LGBTQ enforcers ignore dozens of bakeries that would gladly make a cake for their same-sex wedding. They bang on the door of the Christian baker and demand that he bake the cake for their homosexual wedding or suffer dire consequences. Obviously, this is not about acquiring a cake. It is about punishing and forcing Christians to surrender to their LGBTQ false god. Because of its condemnation of homosexuality, legislation is underway to ban the Bible by declaring it hate speech.

Did a Large Meteorite Hit the Earth 12,800 Years Ago? Here’s New Evidence
Just less than 13,000 years ago, the climate cooled for a short while in many parts of the world, especially in the northern hemisphere. We know this because of what has been found in ice cores drilled in Greenland, as well as from oceans around the world.
Grains of pollen from various plants can also tell us about this cooler period, which people who study climate prehistory call the Younger Dryas and which interrupted a warming trend after the last Ice Age. The term gets its name from a wildflower, Dryas octopetala. It can tolerate cold conditions and was common in parts of Europe 12,800 years ago. At about this time a number of animals became extinct. These included mammoths in Europe, large bison in North America, and giant sloths in South America.
The cause of this cooling event has been debated a great deal. One possibility, for instance, is that it relates to changes in oceanic circulation systems. In 2007 Richard Firestone and other American scientists presented a new hypothesis: that the cause was a cosmic impact like an asteroid or comet. The impact could have injected a lot of dust into the air, which might have reduced the amount of sunlight getting through the earth’s atmosphere. This might have affected plant growth and animals in the food chain.

Re: “National Period Day”.
I’m a mere male, but it seems to me that if young men with more testosterone than they can handle are not excused their misdeeds on these grounds, then women suffering from PMT/periods should not be given special consideration (other than empathy and support) either.
If I’m wrong, then women should not be in any position of responsibility. I don’t believe this, but then I have no actual experience of living in a female body, so I’m open to argument.
On the eve of the Canadian election held on Oct. 21 here’s how the seat count of the Liberals (Trudeau) and Conservatives (Scheer) by province/region shows up in polls as gathered by the website 338 CANADA, rounded off.Total number of seats per province in ( ).
Northern Territories (3) : LIB 2…. CPC 1
British Columbia (42) : LIB 10…. CPC 16.
Alberta (34) : LIB : 0….CPC 33
Manitoba/Saskatchewan (28) : LIB 4….CPC 21
Ontario(121): LIB 68….CPC 40
Quebec (78) : LIB 34….CPC 9 (Quebec’s very own separatist party Bloc Quebecois could get 33)
Atlantic Provinces (32): LIB 25….CPC 5
The Eastern provinces have more parliamentary seats than the Western provinces and are much more leftist liberal than the West. If Trudeau gets re-elected on Monday it will be because of that and NOT because all of Canada wanted it that way.
