Every week we provide insight on events as they develop and transpire across America. In these unprecedented times, it’s difficult to grasp the complexity of everything that’s going on. We are not a news agency and make no claims to be experts on the topics discussed. What is absolutely certain is we are investing time to research information with a quest for truth using facts, logic, and some common sense thrown in.

COVID-19
The spreading of COVID-19 continues with the number of cases and deaths worldwide increasing daily.
Here are the numbers as of October 23rd, 2020:
Global Confirmed Cases: 41,798,042
Global Deaths: 1,138,696
Global Recoveries: 28,392,918
US Confirmed Cases: 8,411,262
US Deaths: 223,059
US Recoveries: 3,353,056
US Active Cases: 4,835,147
Commentary: Looking at the number of COVID deaths on a daily basis the trend has turned upward slightly since the beginning of October. The trend had been consistently lowering week after week since the end of August.
ECONOMY
The Coronavirus pandemic continues to be directly affecting the economy. Many businesses across the nation have closed….and many are still closed. Reopening is happening at different levels and even seen some movie theaters are starting to reopen. Businesses of all sizes including manufacturing plants down to small mom & pop shops feel the effect. Some industries have seen a spike in business, while others have been decimated. Limits on the number of people allowed in businesses continue to be widespread, and mandated masks are common. Government-mandated practice varies depending on the state and area. Florida has ended all restrictions while other states are still locked down.
Commentary: The economy continues to rebound even with continued struggles in numerous markets. The country wants to be back to normal. Trillions of dollars from the Federal government has been injected into the economy and no doubt has had a positive effect.
POLITICS
Much of the divide that is present in the nation is directly correlated to the divisive political environment currently in existence. Beyond healthy debate or even normal agenda-driven bias, the level of aggressive and purposely damaging action taken by Progressive politicians and groups is at an all-time high.
- A huge story was published by the New York Post regarding Joe Biden’s son – Hunter Biden. It appears that there is significant evidence that Joe Biden was – at a minimum – caught lying regarding his knowledge of Hunter’s business in Ukraine and China. It appears Hunter was paid to try to influence and gain access to his father representing a private business. Illegal? Likely not but certainly corrupt.
- Nancy Pelosi continues to NOT work with the White House nor Congress on a new COVID relief package.
- The 2nd debate between Trump and Biden occurred this past Thursday night. The consensus is President Trump had an excellent debate and Biden struggled. One major story out of the debate is Biden stating his plan to is eliminate the oil industry. States who have major oil reserves as well as coal should take note.
Commentary: As usual, Democrats and Republicans remain on opposite ends of the opinion spectrum to best serve this country….and pretty much everything else. The hypocrisy of the Left continues to be seen everywhere.
The admission from Biden that he plans to eliminate the oil industry is major. His son’s involvement with China, Ukraine, and released pictures and video of him supposedly with an underaged female could make a difference in this election. The FBI is getting ready to interview a former associate of Hunter Biden related to foreign influence on Joe Biden.
Social media continues to censor free speech primarily from Conservatives. My own Facebook account was deleted – no warnings, no explanation.
Everyone is wanting 2020 over in hopes that 2021 will be better. We can all have hope. If the trend from the last few years continues……
