50. 2016 Friday: Babbling pundits and talking heads on news channels are excited, claiming that Democratic Party presidential nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton is leading GOP businessman and nominee by a whopping 12 points.  It looks like the old warhorse is going to crush the beleaguered New York City real estate and entertainment mogul.  You can count on it…

55. 2020 Wednesday A: A recent poll says that three-quarters of American Jews plan on voting for former Vice President Joe Biden and his running mate, Kamala Harris.  Sounds like BS to us.  Early voting numbers are coming in- compared to 5.9 million in 2016, this time around there are 35.9-million early votes at the same point in time.  Wow.  The White House says the goal in the next 48 hours is to arrive at a fiscal stimulus deal for the American people.  Finally, Gen.

57. 2020 Wednesday C: Next, in the three states in which, the world-famous American Institute of Culinary Politics-The Elemental News of the Day employs chef-authors, California, Hawaii, and Washington, here are the stats, Golden State first: 888,594 confirmed cases, 17,130 confirmed deaths, but as is the norm, NO mention of confirmed recoveries.  Next, here are the stats for the Aloha State: 14,302 confirmed cases, 203 confirmed deaths, and 11,188 confirmed recoveries.  Finally, in the Ever-Red, uh, we mean, the Evergreen State, here are the stats: 104,000 confirmed cases, 2,380 confirmed deaths, but like California, the palooka-faced governor, Jay Inslee, won’t share the number of confirmed recoveries.  Shame on these flipping Democrats.  Let’s take a look at one more state, Oregon: 40,443 confirmed number of cases, 638 confirmed deaths, and NO mention of confirmed number of recoveries- thank you, Governor Kate Brown for concealing the number of recoveries- we hope your recall is successful.
58. 2020 Wednesday D: Here are today’s Stock Market closes, ALL DOWN because of the news that continues to tie “Pro-China Joe” Biden to the corrupt Ukrainian gas company Burisma and to Chi-Com donors through his crackhead son, Hunter: DOW Jones Industrial Average: 28,210.82, DOWN 97.97 points (-0.35%).  Next, the NASDAQ: 11,484.69, DOWN 31.80 points (-0.28%).  Finally, here are the stats for the S&P 500: 3,435.56, DOWN 7.56 points (-0.22%).  The price of GOLD is $1,924.30 per troy oz., -5.20 (-0.27%) while the price of SILVER is $25.06 per troy ounce, -0.181 (-0.72%).  The price of PLATINUM is $890.10 per troy oz, -3.80 (-0.43%) while the price of COPPER is $3.18 per pound, -0.0145 (-0.45%).  The price of PALLADIUM is $2,427.50 per troy oz, +9.80 (+0.41%).  The price of Light Sweet Crude Oil is $39.88 per barrel, -0.15 (-0.37%).  Currently, one-dollar U.S. = 6.65 Chi-Com yuan.   Meanwhile, one-dollar U.S. = 0.84 euros and in Mexican pesos equals 21.15.
59. 2020 Wednesday E: Tonight is Game Two of the 2020 World Series: Tampa Bay Rays vs. Los Angeles Dodgers.  With a 6-4 victory by the Rays, the series is tied 1-1.   Here are the numbers for tonight’s Super Lotto ##3501 draw with a jackpot of $19 million: 09, 10, 16, 31, 46, and Mega 27.  Two people were fortunate to have FIVE numbers but NO Mega for a prize of $16,290 apiece.  Next, here are the numbers for tonight’s Powerball #787 drawing with a jackpot of $72 million- 01, 03, 13, 44, 56, and Power 26.  The highest winners were two people who had four numbers plus the Powerball for a prize of $51,768.  We hope you’re one of the lucky ones.
60. 2020 Wednesday F:   We encourage everyone to stick around to find out what those commie rascals in Beijing and their allies in the Democratic Party are up to today?  More Chi-Vi cases?  You bet.  More devious schemes ahead of the election?  Ditto!  Let’s find out together.
