This Day in History | 1931
Gangster Al Capone is sentenced to 11 years in prison for tax evasion and fined $80,000, signaling the downfall of one of the most notorious criminals of the 1920s and 1930s.
Good Morning Middle Americans,
We are just about two week away from what many people consider the biggest presidential election in our nation’s history (it’s not, but it’s still fun to play that game) – and president Donald Trump continues to be on the wrong side of an avalanche of data that would suggest that he is going to lose in spectacular fashion, once all the votes are counted. And it’s not just the White House President Trump and Republicans need to worry about it. Key Senate races are swinging in the wrong direction, and so are some crucial House races that would allow Democrats and Nancy Pelosi to expand their grasp on power in Washington D.C.. President Trump is headed to the Midwest to try and stop the bleeding. But it doesn’t help when his former Chief of Staff Gen. John Kelly is being quoted as saying the president ‘is the most flawed’ person he’s ever met.
Meanwhile, the luckiest and least scrutinized presidential candidate in modern history is still facing problems of his own. He seems to be able to sideswipe questions about his son’s shady foriegn business dealings, but deeper questions remain about his willingness to sell out minority communities for political expediency in the past, namely the 1994 crime bill that he sponsored. Here’s something else going well for Biden, besides the polls, he apparently beat President Trump in TV ratings with the two went head to head in competing town halls, one on ABC, the other on NBC. Finally today, raise your glass and toast Tab. The Coca-Cola corporation has decided to retire the world’s first diet cola.
Read all about it.

Fmr. W.H. Chief of Staff John Kelly: Trump ‘Is the Most Flawed Person He’s Ever Met’

1994 Crime Bill Continues to Haunt Biden
(The Guardian) – In 1994, Senator Joe Biden of Delaware stood proudly behind Bill Clinton as he signed into law a reform bill that touched nearly every aspect of the US criminal justice system.

I am beginning to wonder if I still live in the United States of America that I grew up in! Never in my almost 77 years of life have I ever been as ashamed of my country as I am today. I can only keep praying to my Heavenly Father that He will see that His will is carried out in our election and that our current President will remain in power. I will continue to Trust my Heavenly Father to have His hand on our election. I pray in the name of Jesus my savior that my Heavenly Father will keep Trump as our President. We are living in perilous times and we must trust our Lord to do what is best for us. Democrats are not what is best for us.
