Don’t have time for the details… but a revert to prior CTH function is going to take place at 5:30pm ET today.

There will be a short disruption including the temporary loss of all content  posted after 00:23am on 10/01/20 (yesterday).

According to site engineers the lost content *should* recover within 30 minutes of maintenance.   FYI and keep your fingers crossed…

UPDATE 6:00pm: Reversion is not working as planned.  “Just another update, it looks like the site was running a full backup when we went to revert—which it appears caused the site’s revert to be put on hold until that completed. However, following that, the revert is still not wanting to process. The good news is that nothing on the site has changed as of this point, so you should not be missing any content that needs to be re-imported etc. The bad news is that I’m going to need to have our platform developers take a look at what’s going on here to see why it will not revert to the prior configuration, and then we can lay out next steps for getting the site reverted.” ~WordPress

There are trillions at stake…

As a consequence there are a myriad of ideological efforts underway, simultaneously with increased intensity, intended to influence the 2020 election.  Pelosi/Soros Inc. working earnestly on mail in ballots. Big Tech continues efforts to disconnect the voices of their political opposition.  Big Media continues efforts to frame anti-Trump narratives to assist their political allies.  The big Wall St. multinationals, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, are pouring money into efforts to block the re-election of President Trump.

Foreign money is pouring in from China and overseas interests who are negatively impacted by the America First national economic agenda. Regional politicians and their various special-interest groups are being funded to keep fueling antagonisms; and Hollywood influencers are ‘all-in‘ once again to assist the effort.

We can all see it; this time they are not trying to hide… Eyes wide open.  Cue the coordination with the open-border immigration lobby:

GUATEMALA CITY/MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Mexico’s president on Friday said he suspected political interference behind a new migrant caravan in Central America, promising to keep his country out of the U.S. presidential race as the group splintered and some began turning back.

More than 2,000 migrants, many wearing face masks against the coronavirus, barged past Guatemalan troops at the Honduras-Guatemala border on Thursday. Some said they were seeking to escape poverty aggravated by the pandemic.

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 †

Earlier this evening President Trump called-in to Fox News with Sean Hannity to discuss this week’s presidential debate, Hope Hicks positive test for COVID-19, and current political issues.

White House advisor to President Trump, Hope Hicks, has tested positive for COVID-19.  President Trump tweets that he and the First Lady Melania are proactively beginning a quarantine as they await their test results:

Ms. Hicks is a close personal advisor and confidant to both President Trump and the First Lady.  Her COVID test result seems rather suspicious on many levels.  No doubt President Trump’s political opposition would like to remove him from the campaign trail and the MAGA rallies that drive an enthusiastic election outcome.  Additionally a quarantine would protect Joe Biden from another debate.

There are trillions at stake…

The test results only take a few minutes, why the delay?

Earlier this evening President Trump and Joe Biden followed the tradition of delivering remarks during the Al Smith dinner in New York. This year the remarks were streamed virtually. The video and transcript is below. The video is prompted to the beginning of POTUS remarks.

[Transcript] – THE PRESIDENT: It is a profound honor to address the 75th annual Al Smith Dinner. For generations, this wonderful event has been a revered institution in New York and New York life. I fondly remember attending with my father a long time ago. I was a young man, but never forgot it. This organization’s incredible tradition of Catholic charity exemplifies the very best not only of this city, but of this country.
