I know she would have rather gone to some boutique, but I took her to the forest preserve at the height of autumn color. The interest in her eyes once we reached the maple trees gave me encouragement. And there were no bugs.
Walking down a short side trail almost completely buried in leaves she asked me if I knew where we were going. Admittedly if this were my first time down that trail I would have turned around, but I knew the trees here were particularly impressive. And I knew the way.

If anyone votes for Joe Biden given the evidence of corruption Rudy Giuliani has discovered on Hunter Biden’s laptop, shame on you.
For a summary of how the Democrats got into the position they are in see Don Surber’s commentary, “Why did they nominate Hunter Biden’s pop?” Selwyn Duke also notes that Joe Biden’s compromised position could be used by domestic blackmailers as well as foreign interests.

Although I agree with Jon Voight that the manipulators who stand to financially gain on the Left are deliberately lying, the real problem is with the people who won’t gain anything, but who have allowed themselves to become addicted to the pleasure of hating Trump. They don’t realize that their uncritical attitude has turned them into sheeple propagating the lies of these corrupt politicians (for free).
While listening to Rudy Giuliani’s Common Sense, Episode 78, I began to realize the extent of the political scandal described by the New York Post in its expose of the emails and graphics on Hunter Biden’s abandoned hard drive. Giuliani has been approaching this evidence using the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act which he has used in the past against the Mafia and others.
This is a perfect case for it because this Biden family was engaging in the business of crime and their commodity – Joe’s public office. And Joe, you will see, shared in the proceeds which is clearly admitted by his co-conspirators.

The initial part of the evidence covers dealings with foreign interests in Iraq, Russia, Ukraine and China. Listen to the details for yourself. Giuliani states his case very well.
Can one trust Joe Biden to drain the American swamp? Why would he want to? Even if he wanted to, how far could he get being compromised by these foreign interests?
The irrational opposition and hatred that we have all seen thrown at Donald Trump over the past four years is evidence that some very influential people in the swamp know that they can not corrupt Trump. So they have to persistently and repeatedly slander him and sabotage the country hoping that by doing so they can prevent Trump from being re-elected.
They know that Trump is the type of person who would not only be motivated to drain their precious swamp, but he is also the person with the precise personality traits needed to actually do it.

14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Peter Warren sang some verses from this song at the end of his guest sermon at Calvary Chapel Miami Beach on September 13th, “The Battle Behind the Battle”. He is the author of When the Shooting Stops: Where is God When We Suffer?
And here is a link to Crystal Grimes’ song, “Blessings Be Upon You”, based on Numbers 6:24-26.
I am a registered Democrat in Miami Beach, Florida. I voted for the President, Donald Trump, and I predict he will win on November 3rd. Then I predict he, along with the help of others, will drain this swamp.
I am grateful that the Senate confirmed Amy Coney Barrett as an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court with a vote of 52 to 48.
The recent email evidence, confirming what many have suspected, that Hunter Biden enriched his family by providing foreign interests access to his father then Vice-President Joe Biden is one of the main reasons not to vote for Democratic candidates during this election.
There are other reasons, but this should be enough for any American who claims to have any sense of loyalty to the United States. This swamp is deep and wide. And it’s putrid. Joe Biden isn’t the only one in it. Nor will the Democratic Party drain it.
Here is a summary of the crisis from Tucker Carlson:
As disclosure, I am a registered Democrat in Miami Beach, Florida. I have already voted in an absentee ballot for Donald Trump. I also made sure I did not vote for any Democrat on that ballot. I don’t trust any of these candidates.
While raking leaves Bill thought back to the farm his parents had with asparagus, pickles, pumpkins, corn, hay and soybeans. The chores back then were not so bad. He hoed corn from the beans and stacked baled hay. There was the busy time of harvesting, but harvesting had to be done.
The worst were those chickens. He’d reach his hand under a sitting hen to gather eggs only to have it pecked. Sometimes he’d shoo them off the nest. Sometimes they wouldn’t go.
He wouldn’t want some hen doing that to him, but he had to get those eggs.

Ignore the pain. I do not miss
The pleasure out there tempting me.
Such blindness! How I failed to see
That there's a whole world more than this
With righteousness that brings pure bliss.
Manipulators walk around
With advertisements safe and sound.
Beware their busted sugar rush
Deceiving while our morals blush.
It sinks like dust on lifeless ground.

The field was wide, but the path was narrow avoiding the mines. We could sense the shadow of death through the destroyed tanks on each side of us, but this was the only way to get there. Others depended on us and we depended on them to make the right decisions.
We made it through the field before sunset. Thanks to those who came before us and to those who came with us, we all did.
During the battle that continued for three more weeks, and long after that, I was not the only one who felt joy that in spite of being broken we were still found worthy to serve.
