[Transcript] – THE PRESIDENT: Hello, everybody. We’re going to Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. It’ll be a big day.

I think we had one of our biggest days ever. It wasn’t reported like it should have been, but we had GDP up 31 — 33.1 percent. That was the biggest increase in the history of our country. And I think we’re going to have some other good quarters, very good quarters. And I think next year, if you don’t raise taxes like Biden wants to do — he wants to quadruple your taxes and destroy it — but if you don’t do that, we are going to have the best deal we’ve ever had economically, next year.

Never doubt nor underestimate the resolve of American patriots… Because when it matters most, no words are needed; each understands the mission at hand. Right now in every state, county, village, hamlet, city and street the MAGA community is independently rallying to the exact same standard. “Meet at the old mill, we ride at midnight“.

This is the third in our 2020 series of CTH ground reports, and with Treepers in every state, your information is actually a great insight into the political landscape.

Individual reports are obviously anecdotal; however, when they are compiled on a larger scale, and overlaid against the social media network we also follow, these ground reports have proven to be pretty darned accurate. Early voting has begun. If you have voted in person feel free to share your experience.

Perhaps no headline best showcases the current state of the media narrative than Politico: “Democrats Sound The Alarm in Miami.”…  Except, it’s not just Miami, Florida; it is also Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and states like Michigan, Wisconsin and even Minnesota.

Yes, the middle-class insurgency is fully engaged, and with us all activated the media polling narratives are collapsing by the hour.

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the Donald Trump Administration and Presidency.

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

During tonight’s Tucker Carlson segment the Fox News host updates the mysterious case of the missing flash drive that was shipped overnight via UPS that disappeared, then reappeared, and no one seems to know how…. WATCH:

.

When it absolutely, positively, has to be copied by the FBI overnight…

Interesting…  If the media polling is accurate, then why is Joe Biden traveling to a state reported to be safe?   Biden is doing so well he has decided to campaign in, wait for it, Minnesota?…

Watch what they do, not just what they say…  ie. “The Iron Range”

All over the country middle-class MAGA voters are overwhelming the media polling narrative and the Biden campaign is seeing internal polling that doesn’t look good (more on that in a minute).  Bolstering early ground reports that are is stunning the political world, republicans now lead democrats in returned ballots in Michigan.

As we noted yesterday the Biden campaign in Michigan has shifted from mail-in ballot focus, to enlisting former President Obama this weekend to rally for in-person voting. However, additional on-the-ground information looks worse. WATCH:

“Yesterday, I had some of the autoworkers, who I thought were going to go back to Joe Biden, were very clear with me…they’re voting for President Trump.”

The Trump army is activated and there is no visible enthusiasm for the Biden-Harris effort beyond Big Tech manipulation and fraudulent national media scripts.

Don’t get complacent, now is the time to push even harder with more resolve.

National Economic Council Director, Larry Kudlow, discusses the third-quarter economic GDP result and the indicators for the fourth quarter.  Kudlow nails this one with a blend of empirical economic data and industrial manufacturing ground reports.

Keep in mind today’s excellent GDP growth result was despite a big part of the U.S. economy intentionally being kept closed by blue state politicians as part of a COVID weaponization strategy.  Additionally, the travel, hotel and hospitality sector is severely hampered…. yet the overall economy is booming despite that. [See previous post]

.

The inventory factor is a big part of the predictive value for the fourth quarter, and hearkens back to my earlier notation about this holiday season being short of products to meet a retail consumer demand (buy early). Also, tip bigly those workers within the hospitality industry that are working; create an organic infusion of relief money.

For several months the Trump administration has been talking about a “V-Shaped recovery,” meaning the COVID-19 rebound would be as strong as the preceding quarter contraction.  Today the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) released the third-quarter economic stats reflecting exactly that, a V-shaped recovery.

The 3rd quarter rebound in GDP growth was 33.1 percent, larger than the 2nd quarter contraction of 31.4 percent.  And keep in mind this is with a major part of the U.S. leisure and hospitality sector remaining severely impacted. [See Table 3, Line 20]

Despite several blue states attempting to stall their economic recovery, overall the economy is rebounding as expected.  Obviously the threat of COVID has been weaponized as an election strategy. It is against the interests of the administration’s political opposition to support a more honest, open and engaged economic recovery.
