Earlier today First Lady Melania Trump traveled to Alglen Pennsylvania for a campaign speech on behalf of her husband, President Donald Trump. Our first lady was introduced to the audience by former White House advisor Kellyanne Conway (also below).
Here’s the speech by First Lady Melania Trump:
If the support levels for campaign surrogates is any evidence of support levels for the top of the ticket candidates then President Trump is about to crush Joe Biden in Florida.
Biden’s biggest name campaign surrogate, former President Barack Obama, was campaigning today in Orlando; a massive geographic metropolis with a significant population (over 2.5 million) eligible to attend the rally. Meanwhile Ivanka Trump was campaigning in Sarasota, a much smaller area with a population of only ¹433,000.
[The population of Sarasota, ¹the entire county, is six times smaller than Orlando.]
Despite the difference in population, a massive crowd shows up to see Ivanka Trump (in a small market), and only about 100 people showed up to see former President Obama (in a major market). That is quite a contrast. LOOK:

[Transcript] – THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Thank you very much. Distinguished guests and my fellow citizens, this is a momentous day for America, for the United States Constitution, and for the fair and impartial rule of law.
The Constitution is the ultimate defense of American liberty. The faithful application of the law is the cornerstone of our Republic. That is why, as President, I have no more solemn obligation and no greater honor than to appoint Supreme Court justices.
Appearing on Fox News with host Lou Dobbs, former Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard “Ric” Grenell discusses the ongoing internal DC conflict with intelligence officials who refuse to allow transparency.
Part of the discussion shifts to the removal of FBI Director Wray and CIA Director Haspel who have both been identified (through their behavior) as working against the interests of President Trump and the American people. Grenell recommends that executive office replacements be hired from outside the DC eco-sphere.
Interestingly, this aligns with the CTH recommendation from 2016 when we strongly suggested all intelligence agency heads be replaced by former governors, former federal judges and/or former state attorney generals.
The full senate vote to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett is pending this evening. With Democrats having exhausted all stall tactics, the final speeches are underway and a full vote is anticipated soon (Approx 8:00pm EDT). [Livestream Links Below]
UPDATE: Shortly after 8:00pm EDT the Senate has officially confirmed Justice Amy Coney Barrett to the supreme court. The vote was 52-48.
The third stop of President Trump’s march on Pennsylvania takes place today as our president holds a Make America Great Again Rally at Altoona-Blair County Airport in Martinsburg, PA. Anticipated start time is 4:30pm EDT [Livestream Links Below]

The Pennsylvania surge happens at the same time as The New York Times reports President Trump capturing 24 percent of Philadelphia voters. That result is nearly a 10% increase from 2016 and would destroy the Biden hopes in the state. Further empirical evidence of this Philadelphia outcome was reflected last Friday when former President Obama could only draw a crowd of a few hundred amid the city of brotherly love.
Similar in motive to the FL strategy, perhaps this PA campaign push is to extend the size of the victory beyond the reach of voter fraud in the Keystone state.
