In a recent opinion piece at the Washington Post Vanderbilt University professor Jonathan Metzi warned that “Democrats are losing White voters to Republicans” and said the party must “shift gears” to keep Biden from losing to President Trump in November.
He wrote that “Democrats should not underestimate the chances” of that happening:

In a note to his clients on Monday, LPL’s Chief Market Strategist Ryan Detrick said his company has raised its stock market expectations even higher, advising its clients to stay fully invested and enjoy the ride.
He said, “When the S&P 500 [index] has been up five straight months, as it was in April through August, stocks have historically kept going higher.” Historically, he told his clients, the last 26 times the market traded higher for five straight months, it was higher a year later 96 percent of the time.
Furthermore,

The endorsement of President Trump by 235 active and retired military leaders on Monday is a direct refutation of the canard that emanated at The Atlantic, and which is still being circulated by the left-wing media. That carnard states that the president referred to Marines who died in World War I as “losers” and “suckers,” an accusation that at least 21 people who were with Trump at the time have refuted, including anti-Trumper John Bolton. Monday’s endorsement should bury the fabrication permanently.
The salient parts of the endorsement included the reminder that each of signers “took an oath to defend the United States from all enemies, foreign and domestic” and a clear message that the signers consider the Democrat Party to be domestic enemies:

The latest poll by ABC News/Ipsos released over the weekend showed the president in deep trouble over his handling of the coronavirus and his lack of respect for the military. The results reported 65 percent of those polled disapproving of his handling of the crisis, 67 percent thinking he acted too slowly, and 52 percent not trusting the president at all when he speaks about the pandemic.
In addition the poll results showed that

When the senior pastor of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California, John MacArthur, opened services on Sunday, he said:
The question has come up a number of times about why Grace Church does not just comply with the orders that have been laid down for churches, and I thought it might be helpful to give you a list of the things that are required of us as a church, so that you understand how utterly impossible that would be.
He then ran through the list of restrictions Los Angeles County Health Officer Buntu Davis placed on the church in order for it to be able to hold services. It was a long list, and MacArthur was interrupted several times with laughter from his congregation.
Before moving on to the service itself, MacArthur added: “Obviously, this is not constitutional, but more importantly, it goes against the will of the Lord of the church, Who calls us together.”
That is the core issue: whether the county can prohibit the church from holding services indoors, claiming the right to do so in the name of public health, or whether such an order exceeds the state’s authority in light of both the Federal and California constitutions.
And that is the issue that Mitchell Beckloff, the Superior Court Judge, skirted in his 22-page ruling against the church on Thursday.
He danced around it, claiming that his order against the church was merely a temporary restraining order and not a ruling on the merits:

In its biennial report on how Americans view the national media the Knight Foundation found that “many Americans feel the media’s critical role of informing and holding those in power accountable is compromised by increasing bias. As such, Americans have not only lost confidence in the ideal of an objective media, they believe news organizations actively support the [current] partisan political divide.”
An astonishing 86 percent of the 20,000 American citizens the group polled see either “a great deal” or “a fair amount” of political bias in the news coverage they receive. Further, the group found that citizens say that a lot of it is “intentional”, accusing some in the media of simply making up the facts necessary to promote a preordained agenda:
Americans perceive inaccurate news to be intentional — either because the reporter is misrepresenting the facts (54%) or making them up entirely (28%).
Nearly 8 in 10 Americans (79%) say news organizations they distrust are trying to

In a note to its clients on Thursday, international investment banking firm Goldman Sachs said it “upgraded” its estimate of the robust rebound of the U.S. economy for the third quarter, adding that the momentum will continue into the fourth quarter and 2021 as well:
We upgraded our near-term growth forecasts based on the much stronger-than-expected August jobs report and the solid summer data more generally….
Our forecast of 35 percent is now nearly 14 percentage points above [Wall Street’s] consensus….
Looking beyond this quarter, we remain upbeat on growth.… In our view, the combination of a still-very-high personal savings rate, and a likely vaccine, should lead to reaccelerating demand in these sectors.
Others are getting on board. Marko Kolanovic, a quantitative strategist at J.P. Morgan Chase told his clients two weeks ago: “We currently believe that momentum in favor of Trump will continue, while most investors are still positioned for a Biden win.” Accordingly he told his clients to “adjust [their portfolios] for a potential Trump re-election.”
The day after Goldman Sachs issued its upgrade Beacon Policy Advisors analyst Ben Koltun confirmed, explaining why:

John Gleeson, the retired judge whom District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan asked to make his case against Michael Flynn for him, did just that on Friday. Wrote Gleeson:
There is clear evidence that the Government’s case against Defendant Michael T. Flynn rests on pure pretext.
There is clear evidence that this motion [to dismiss from the Department of Justice] reflects a corrupt and politically motivated favor unworthy of our justice system….
In resolving the Government’s request for [dismissal of its case against Flynn], the only evidence that ultimately matters is the record I have outlined above: a record replete with patently pretextual attempts to justify what is plainly a corrupt political errand for the President.
Given this evidence … the Court [Sullivan] can — and should — deny the Government’s motion … and then proceed to sentence Flynn for his crime.
This threat has been hanging over the head of Trump’s former National Security Advisor since 2017. Initially the government brought charges against Flynn for

Following the unanimous endorsement of President Trump’s reelection by the board of directors of the Chicago chapter of the Fraternal Order of Police on September 2, chapter president John Catanzara said, “There’s definitely people who are not going to be happy about it. There are more Democrats, locally speaking, but there’s even some Democrats who would agree that the current president has been very good for employment and law enforcement these days.”
Catanzara has been vocal in his condemnation of Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, writing to President Trump in July that she “has proved to be a complete failure, who is either unwilling or unable to maintain law and order here … these politicians are failing the good men and women of this city and the police department.”
He told news outlet Patch.com on Friday that Democrats

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported on Friday that prices at the retail level in August increased at an annual rate of nearly five percent in August.
Retail prices dropped when the shutdown began and demand for retail items such as gas and services such as restaurants fell like stones. People nearly stopped buying, preferring to stash their “stimulus” checks from the government in savings or use them to pay off credit card debt.
In response, the government, with the help of the Federal Reserve, dumped massive amounts of newly created digital currency into the economy, hoping that the infusion would quickly revive it once the infection risk had passed.
Now that that perceived risk has abated, citizens are coming out of their homes and basements and spending, making up for lost time. They’re buying
