 Looks like Trump has changed his mind about a debate with Biden.  Speaking of Biden, he is now leading Trump in two key states.

 It looks like there won't be another presidential debate. That may be just as well based on last week's debate performance. In my opinion, Trump does not look healthy. Instead of worrying about a debate, he should be focusing on his health and his family. He should also be focusing on not exposing his staff and others to the virus.  Somehow, I don't think this will be the end of this discussion. Stay tuned.

Until I read this article, I had idea how many people believed that there will be civil unrest after the election...no matter who wins.  This morning I read that an eight foot fence is being built around the Georgia Capitol. I wonder if talk about post-election civil unrest has something to do with it. This "Totally Under Control" documentary sounds interesting...will definitely check it out.  Polls highlight fear of post-election civil war, violence https://www.yahoo.com/news/country-lost-mind-polls-warning-090029570.html SOURCE:  Ledyard King, USA Today 9 takeaways from 'Totally Under Control,' the new documentary filmed in secret about the Trump administration's coronavirus response https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/9-takeaways-from-totally-under-control-the-new-documentary-filmed-in-secret-about-the-trump-administration-s-coronavirus-response/ar-BB19Naxq?ocid=msedgntp SOURCE:  Susie Neilson, Business Insider

 News outlets are reporting that Trump's personal assistant, Nicholas Luna, has tested positive for coronavirus. Hopefully the diagnosis was made early and he can recover quickly.  Pelosi says she is still working hard for a stimulus agreement with the republicans -- but so far no deal has been reached. She has also stated that if Biden wins the November election, there won't be a problem passing a large stimulus package. The question is, can financially struggling Americans wait that long?
