Experts are warning that political violence could erupt around the election, but some believe the early stages of a civil conflict have already unfolded.
A new conflict would look nothing like the first Civil War, more than 150 years ago, and instead would likely resemble an insurgency like those seen in Colombia, Ireland and Syria — and possibly already in the U.S., reported Vice.
“A conflict in the pre-insurgency stage is difficult to detect because most activities are underground and the insurgency has yet to make its presence felt through the use of violence,” the CIA Guide to the Analysis of Insurgency notes. “Moreover, actions conducted in the open can easily be dismissed as nonviolent political activity. During this stage, an insurgent movement is beginning to organize: leadership is emerging, and the insurgents are establishing a grievance and a group identity, beginning to recruit and train members, and stockpiling arms and supplies.”
Another leading indicator of civil conflict is fear, according to David Kilcullen, of the nonprofit Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
“The worst atrocities come from fear, not hate, because people think they’re good,” Kicullen told Vice. “And they can justify incredible atrocious violence to themselves on the basis that it is defensive … you need a belief that some other group is encroaching on your territory, and then you need to have lost confidence in the ability of the state to act as an impartial and neutral protector. We’re already losing that confidence because of COVID.” (Read more from “Experts Fear U.S. Is on the Brink of Civil War: ‘Millions of People Are Actively Prepared to Murder Their Countrymen’” HERE)

Coronavirus can significantly impact brain function, causing mental decline equivalent to the brain aging 10 years, according to an alarming new study.
A study of more than 84,000 people in the UK found that the virus left even those deemed recovered with “chronic cognitive consequences” that it compared to dropping 8.5 IQ points.
“People who had recovered, including those no longer reporting symptoms, exhibited significant cognitive deficits,” the study published on MedRxiv said.
“The deficits were broad, affecting multiple cognitive domains,” the researchers warned in the study, which has yet to be peer-reviewed. . .
The cognitive deficits were “of substantial effect size” and “scaled with symptom severity,” especially those hospitalized, but also “evident amongst those without hospital treatment,” the study said. (Read more from “Coronavirus Has a Scary, Lasting Impact on Our Brains” HERE)

By New York Post. The Post’s exposés on Hunter Biden appear to have helped spark a rush of early voters seeing if they can change their minds — with New York one of a handful of states giving some that unexpected right.
More than 58.5 million have already cast their ballots, and searches for “Can I change my vote” started trending over the last few days — linked to searches for “Hunter Biden,” according to Google Trends data.
The biggest interest has come from Arizona, Tennessee and Virginia, all states that — like most of the US — only give residents one shot at the polls.
But “in some states, you can submit your ballot, have a change of heart and, and submit a new ballot,” Matthew Weil, director of the Election Project at the Bipartisan Policy Center, told Newsy. . .
In a recent update, the Wisconsin Elections Commission also noted that “many voters” had been getting in contact to see how they could revoke their initial absentee ballot — something they can easily do. (Read more from “Some Early Voters Want to Change Their Vote After Hunter Biden Exposés” HERE)

Election Expert Weighs in on Early Voting Surge and What It Means for 2020 Race
By Fox News. . .More than 59 million total ballots cast as of Monday morning suggested a record turnout for this year’s race compared to the 47.2 million early votes cast in the 2016 election, according to data from the United States Elections Project.
That number of early ballots cast so far represents 43.1% of the total national voter turnout in 2016, and the total number of ballots cast includes more than 40 million mail-in ballots and 19.4 million in-person ballots.
“The numbers are stunning.,” said Elections Project founder and University of Florida political science professor Michael McDonald in an Oct. 25 blog post on the project website. . .
“Nationwide, voters will not only be sent an unprecedented number of at least 87 million mail ballots, but they are returning them sooner than in past elections,” McDonald wrote. “In all nearly 40 million mail ballots have been returned so far, a return rate of nearly 46%.”
“This is good news!” he continued, pointing to worries about whether or not government officials would be able to handle an election during the COVID-19 pandemic. “Yes, there have been problems, and in many places lines are intolerably long,” he recognized. “But, people are voting and there are more opportunities for them to do so by Election Day. Americans’ resilience and support for their democracy is very heartening in these trying times.” (Read more from “Election Expert Weighs in on Early Voting Surge and What It Means for 2020 Race” HERE)

By National File. National File has obtained what a whistleblower has identified as a copy of the complete diary of Ashley Blazer Biden, the 39-year-old daughter of Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden, dating from during the 2020 presidential campaign. National File also knows the reported precise location of the physical diary, and has been told by a whistleblower that there exists an audio recording of Ashley Biden admitting this is her diary. . .
According to our source, the diary also details Ashley Biden’s unhealthy relationship with sex, and the “probably not appropriate” showers she shared as a young girl with her father, Joe Biden. . .
The author then explored why she felt this need to have sex, saying she believes she was molested as a child.
“Was I molested. I think so – I can’t remember specifics but I do remember trauma,” wrote the author, before listing a series of potential incidents, one of which may have included Ashley Biden’s cousin Caroline Biden, as the author says she remembers “being somewhat sexualized” alongside a person named “Caroline.”
The author then wrote that she remembers “showers with my dad” that were “probably not appropriate.” (Read more from “Report: Biden Daughter’s Diary Details ‘Not Appropriate’ Showers With Joe as Child” HERE)
Alleged ‘Hunter Biden Sex and Drug Tapes’ Posted on Chinese Website Linked To Ex-Top Trump Adviser Steve Bannon
By The Sun. Videos and photos allegedly showing Hunter Biden “engaging in sex acts” were posted on a Chinese website linked to ex-Donald Trump adviser Steve Bannon, reports say.
The x-rated tapes were reportedly uploaded by a single user on GTV, a digital media platform operated by GTV Media Group in the wake of the “Ukraine, crack, and sex” scandal.
The media organization was founded in April 2020 by Bannon and Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui, reported the Washington Examiner.
The Sun reached out to the Biden campaign, Hunter’s lawyer George Mesires, and Bannon’s legal representative for comment on Sunday.
In one video, the caption read: “US presidential candidate Joe Biden is 100 [percent] controlled by the Chinese Communist Party as one of the most successful political instances of the BGY program.

Well-known China expert Gordon Chang has concluded that China is killing Americans “deliberately” with its export of fentanyl.
Writing for the Gatestone Institute, he quotes Fox News host Tucker Carlson stating it’s a fact that “fentanyl and Covid both came from China, China’s our main rival, they’re benefiting from the deaths of many thousands of Americans.”
Chang writes that China has been pushing fentanyl into the U.S. for years, and last year fatal drug overdoses hit a record 70,980, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. . .
Vanda Felbab-Brown of the Brookings Institution has called it the “deadliest” drug epidemic in American history. . .
“In short, China’s regime is killing Americans with fentanyl. It is doing so deliberately. Carlson was right to suggest intentionality.” (Read more from “Expert’s Stunning Conclusion: China’s Killing Americans ‘Deliberately'” HERE)
By New York Post. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says he has no health issues of concern — despite sporting bruises and bandages on his hands this week.
The 78-year-old Kentucky senator dodged questions about his health from reporters in the Capitol Thursday, CNN reported.
Asked whether he had any health issues, McConnell answered, “of course not,” and then didn’t respond when asked if he was being treated by a doctor. (Read more from “What’s Wrong With Mitch? McConnell Mum on Mangled Face and Hands” HERE)
Questions Swirl About Sen. Mcconnell’s Health After He’s Seen With Badly Bruised Hands, Lip
By New York Daily News. Sen. Mitch McConnell’s health is becoming a topic of concern after the powerful Kentucky Republican was seen on Capitol Hill this week with a badly bruised hand and what appeared to be a fat lip. . .
His right hand looked particularly bad, having turned a blueish-black color. The right side of McConnell’s lip also appeared to sport a bluish bruise. . .
He has maintained a regular schedule this week and spoke on the Senate floor at the outset of Thursday’s session as is customary.
McConnell, who survived polio as a boy, has had some health issues in the past, including breaking his shoulder after falling at his Kentucky home last year. He also had triple bypass heart surgery in 2003. (Read more from “Questions Swirl About Sen. Mcconnell’s Health After He’s Seen With Badly Bruised Hands, Lip” HERE)
By Laura Itialono. Dermatologists say the 78-year-old Senate majority leader’s black-and-blue bruises and bandaged hands are likely a common condition called senile purpura.
“Your skin just naturally becomes more fragile as you age,” Dr. Doris Day, a Manhattan-based dermatologist, told The Post.
“I think it’s just a bruise — a solid good bruise,” she said.
Older skin loses its elasticity and its cushioning layer of collagen, doctors say.
That naturally occurring fragility of the skin can also be complicated by prior chronic sun exposure. (Read more about McConnell Mum on his Condition HERE)

A group of “undecided voters” in a Los Angeles Times focus group delivered a stunning consensus on the final debate between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden.
While the liberal media and Trump critics bashed the president’s performance Thursday night, many viewers who actually watched his strong showing against the Democratic presidential nominee came away with a far different assessment. Pollster Frank Luntz spoke with one group of voters who overwhelmingly concluded after the debate that Trump had swayed their thinking.
The group of voters selected by Luntz to participate had to meet certain criteria, including being “currently registered to vote in one of 11 swing states,” according to the Los Angeles Times. The participants, who were each paid $100 for their time, also had to describe themselves as “possible” Biden or Trump voters, “defined themselves as independents” and considered themselves “undecided.”
Trump was lauded for his solid debate performance as Biden often seemed rattled by the facts he was confronted with. Yet the left-wing media proved their bias once again in commentary disguised as reporting. CNN’s Jake Tapper held nothing back as he accused Trump of “running the single most negative, sleazy campaign in American history.”

Biden Tries to Rewrite History on ‘Child Separation’ Border Policy
By Townhall. In the last presidential debate ahead of the general election, former Vice President Joe Biden attempted to rewrite history on immigration policy. Biden accused President Trump of “putting kids in cages,” when illegal minors and families try to cross the southern border. . .
President Trump did not let former Vice President Biden forget that his own administration started the policy in 2014:
President @realDonaldTrump on the separation of immigrant children from their parents:
"And it was a picture of these horrible cages. They said, 'Look at these cages. President Trump built them.' And then it was determined they were built in 2014; that was him." pic.twitter.com/oBH35ck6bP
Biden’s Debate Stumble: He Raises Issue of Corruption Allegations Himself
By WND. Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, during Thursday’s debate with President Donald Trump, hesitated about it, but then said he was going to go ahead. And he did.
He himself raised the issue that Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani was being used as an “agent” of Russia to spread disinformation.
That, of course, was the opening for which the president was waiting, to ask Biden about the millions of dollars his family was getting from Russia, from China, and more. And what about the money that was being held for the “big guy,” identified as Joe Biden?
The issue has erupted into what some analysts have described as the biggest scandal ever in American politics, as emails and other documentation that have become available – from insiders, from an abandoned computer, and more – have described how the Biden family was making multiple deals with foreign interests that would benefit the family with millions of dollars.

Trump Gets Out of His Own Way to Paint Biden as Creature of Washington
By Washington Examiner. For many watching Republicans, it was the debate they wanted to see the first time around.
Then, President Trump hectored and harried Democratic nominee Joe Biden in a performance that did nothing to close a gaping poll deficit.
This time, when the final debate ended in Nashville, Tennessee, they welcomed a more restrained tone and a more conventional style that landed precise blows on Biden’s record in government and plans for the future.
Republican strategist Ron Bonjean said it was a commanding performance. . .
And it provided one of the moments that many advisers had wanted to see: a clean, clear takedown of Biden’s long career in Washington and a reminder of the choice facing voters.

By Michael Goodwin. Now we learn that Biden has secretly been playing footsie with China.
The statement Wednesday night asserting that the former vice president was a willing and eager participant in a family scheme to make millions of dollars by partnering with a shady Chinese Communist firm is a singular event in a presidential race already overflowing with drama and intrigue.
The dynamite assertion, believable because it aligns with earlier information we know to be true, came in a statement by Tony Bobulinski, who describes himself as a former partner of Hunter Biden, Joe Biden and Joe’s brother Jim in the China scheme. Bobulinski unloads his bill of accusations in blunt but precise language and detail.
He confirms that he was one of the recipients of the May 13, 2017, e-mail published by The Post eight days ago. That e-mail, from another partner in the group, laid out cash and equity positions and mysteriously included a 10 percent set-aside for “the big guy.”
Sources have said the “big guy” was Joe Biden. In a matter-of-fact manner, Bobulinski states that the “e-mail is genuine” and that the former vice president and the man leading in the 2020 race is indeed “the big guy.” (Read more about this HERE)
__________________________________________________________ Hunter Laptop Front and Center in Money Laundering Probe
By Townhall. Just one day after the FBI and Department of Justice confirmed the laptop left at a computer repair store belonged to Hunter Biden, Fox News confirmed that very laptop was part of an FBI probe into money laundering. It remains unclear whether or not the case is still ongoing and if Hunter Biden was part of the probe.
Fox News obtained documents – authenticated by multiple federal law enforcement officials and two government officials – showing FBI Special Agent Joshua Wilson signed off on the “Receipt for Property” form that was filled out for the laptop. The document was signed on Dec. 9, 2019. . .
A government official told Fox that there had to be evidence of a crime or criminal conduct for the FBI to open the case.
Special Agent Wilson was called to testify about the laptop on Dec. 9, 2019, meaning the investigation began before then.
“If a criminal case was opened and subpoenas were issued, that means there is a high likelihood that both the laptop and hard drive contain fruits of criminal activity,” the official told Fox. (Read more from “Uh Oh: It Looks as Though Hunter’s Laptop Is Part of an Even Bigger Probe” HERE)
GOP Senators Request Hunter Biden’s Secret Service Travel Docs
By New York Post. Two Republican lawmakers leading the congressional probe into Hunter Biden’s overseas business dealings have asked the Secret Service to provide more records of his travel while his father was vice president.
In a letter sent to the agency’s director on Wednesday, GOP Sens. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said bombshell Hunter Biden emails revealed by The Post last week “aligned” with the scandal-scarred son’s previous Secret Service travel logs.
”Recent reports have published emails allegedly belonging to Hunter Biden, some of which include references to Mr. Biden’s travel,” the letter read.
“As the Committees continue to assess the validity of these emails, Committee staff have found that several of the references to Mr. Biden’s travel align with the travel records USSS produced to the Committees,” it went on.
Johnson and Grassley, the respective chairs of the Senate Homeland Security Committee and the Senate Finance Committee, noted two emails from Hunter Biden’s recovered hard drive matched with logs they obtained earlier this year.

By Washington Examiner. Rudy Giuliani told Newsmax on Tuesday that he sent alleged sexually explicit materials involving underage girls from Hunter Biden to the Delaware State Police.
The text message and photos discussed by Giuliani, a personal lawyer to President Trump and former New York City mayor, appear to have been found in a laptop hard drive that purportedly belonged to the son of former Vice President Joe Biden, who is now the Democratic presidential nominee.
“There’s a text message to [Hunter’s] father in which he says the following, and he’s discussing his sister-in-law, who, for quite some time, was his lover,” Giuliani said, setting up the background of the email. “He says, ‘She told my therapist that I was sexually inappropriate.’ This would be with an unnamed, 14-year-old girl.”
The “sister-in-law” to which Giuliani referred appears to be Hallie Biden, the widow of Hunter’s brother Beau whom Hunter reportedly dated for a time until the spring of last year. Giuliani, who went on to read more of the message, added that it was “supported by numerous pictures of underage girls.”
The materials, said to be obtained by Giuliani earlier this month from a computer shop in Delaware, were first reported by the New York Post last week.

FBI in Possession of Hunter Biden’s Purported Laptop, Sources Say
By Fox News. The FBI is in possession of the laptop purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden which contained emails revealing his foreign business dealings, including contacts in Ukraine and China, two senior administration officials told Fox News Tuesday.
The FBI declined to confirm or deny the existence of an investigation into the laptop or the emails, as is standard practice.
Further, Fox News has learned that the FBI and Justice Department officials concur with an assessment from Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe that the laptop is not part of a Russian disinformation campaign targeting Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. . .
Meanwhile, another senior federal law enforcement official told Fox News that the emails are “authentic.”
The FBI, in a letter to Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Chairman Ron Johnson, R-Wis., who is investigating Hunter Biden’s business dealings, as well as the laptop in question, said that the bureau has “nothing to add at this time to the October 19th public statement by the Director of National Intelligence about the available actionable intelligence.” (Read more from “FBI in Possession of Hunter Biden’s Purported Laptop, Sources Say” HERE)
Here Are Hunter Biden’s Alleged Text Messages Giuliani Just Turned Over to the Delaware State Police
By Townhall. Rudy Giuliani handed over “very, very sensitive” text messages to the Delaware State Police that are allegedly from Hunter Biden to his father, former Vice President Joe Biden. In the text messages, Hunter allegedly accused his sister-in-law and former lover, Hallie Biden, of telling Hunter’s therapist that he was sleeping with a 14-year-old girl.
The alleged text messages said:
She told my therapist I was sexually inappropriate with [name redacted when she says that I face time naked with her and the reason I can’t have her out to see me is because I walk around naked smoking crack talking [redacted] girls on face time. When she was present she said that [redacted] never said anything like that but the bottom line is that she I create and caused a very unsafe environment for the kids. If it stopped there I would let it go but then [redacted] friend [redacted] sober coach.
According to Giuliani, there are “numerous pictures of underage girls” that accompany the text messages. He was “very uncomfortable” with the texts and pictures, which is why he turned them over to the Delaware State Police on Monday, the lawyer explained during a segment on Newsmax. . .
“There’s a memo in here that says that 10 percent of the money that was being racked up, that was $10 million a year, and then 50 percent of the profits, three Chinese communists, one of whom was a Chinese intelligence operative, that 10 percent of that was going to H for the ‘Big Guy.’ So, we’ve identified the ‘Big Guy’ several ways,” Giuliani explained.
