Commentary by Larry Schweikart
IN POLITICAL NEWS
1) President Trump solidly thumping Rutabaga in new polling, no matter how many third-party candidates are involved.
2) President Trump tamped down criticism of Vivek Ramaswamy, saying, “I think he’s great,” and he was open to having Vivek as a veep.
3) Whatever the libs are doin’, it ain’t workin’. Trump raised more than $20 million in August.
4) Tucker Carlson goes there: “Obviously,” he said, the DemoKKKrats were “speeding toward the assassination of Trump” because dey jes kain’t stop him.
5) You’ll remember I raised this point months ago, saying the DemoKKKrats have adopted “indict-fare” and will use it against EVERY Republican if they are successful in “getting Trump.” Finally, someone else says it.
6) Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy supports full UFO disclosure.
7) Yertle has Rutabaga’s Disease and freezes up again in front of a media presser.
-Retire this old codger, please, Kentucky.

11) A 2nd Amendment win in Colorado, where a fed appeals court kept the state’s “under-21 ban” on ice and cannot be enforced while it is being challenged in court.
12) So evil. The Rutabaga Pentagon worked on climate plan details as a “national security risk” while the botched Afghanistan withdrawal was occurring.
13) Speaking of the grotesque fecalpimple in the White House, “Biden’s swaggering faith in himself” left the White House ill-prepared as the Tolly-ban took over Afghanistan.
14) We will see more and more of this because of the thoroughly satanic Rutabaga policies. An 11-year-old boy was killed by a released illegal criminal.
15) Hawaii appears to be allowing magic mushrooms into the state for “mental health.”
16) A trucker helped rescue “approximately 15 children” trapped in padlocked cages in a pickup truck.

24) Over 1,600 scientists signed a declaration that there is no climate emergency.
25) The “big spend” of “helicopter money” everyone keeps expecting from the Chicoms isn’t coming, while “deteriorating demographics and higher spends on national security might necessitate a lowering of ambitions around what is possible in welfare economics.”
26) Soaring international debt unlikely to reverse.
27) The Bank of England is facing major losses on its bond purchases, and it’s set to get much worse.
28) India’s commerce minister says India’s “heart” is closer to the U.S. than China on trade.

IN CHINA VIRUS NEWS
34) A new study shows Sweden’s laissez-faire politics toward the pandemic paid off with fewer excess deaths and far less economic and social damage than other rich countries.
AND FINALLY...
35) This story allows me to tell you another story: NBA star Larry Nance, Jr. donated over $2000 to a Leeds United fan who suffered a heart attack while on holiday in Majorca. (Nance’s dad, Larry Nance, Sr., was a great forward on the Phoenix Suns team in the early 1980s).
-My story is this: In the early 1990s, after writing several business histories for banks, law firms, and other companies, the Phoenix Suns hired me to write a team biography. I told them I was a big fan, but it would be honest—“warts and all.” They said fine. I began to research and submitted drafts to the head of PR, who was the one who hired me. But it was all done with the understanding that GM Jerry Colangelo was reading the drafts. He wasn’t. After I got to the part in the team history where star forward Walter Davis had some cocaine issues, I got a call from the PR guy. I was fired. They paid me off and buried the history. It’s somewhere in the Suns’ archives. Turns out ol’ Jerrah had not seen the drafts til that last moment—on a plane ride home right after a drubbing by the Portland Trail Blazers.
Well, at least I got to interview a lot of players, including Tom Chambers, Alvan Adams, Rick Barry, Connie Hawkins, and others. And most importantly, I got paid. You can find all this in my autobiography, “The Rhythm of History.”
