Continued prayers this morning for our friends in Louisiana & Texas.
It was on this date in 1894 that the Wilson-Gorman Tariff Act was passed by the U.S. Congress. The provision for a graduated income tax was later struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court.

“BALTIMORE (Reuters) – U.S. Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday cast the re-election of President Donald Trump as critical to preserving America’s safety and economic viability, while cautioning Democrat Joe Biden would set the country on a path to socialism and decline…
“The hard truth is you won’t be safe in Joe Biden’s America,” Pence told the crowd seated on a lawn at historic Fort McHenry in Baltimore. ”

So how safe are people under Trump? Not very safe. If the police do not shoot you, some crazy person with a gun will shoot you.
Meanwhile, Trump’s staff and friends keep getting caught for breaking the law.
It reminds me of the Nixon-Humphrey election. Nixon pushed “law and order”. After winning the election, 4 students were killed at Kent State. Then Nixon was caught committing a crime.
Do we really want Nixon II in office?
An interesting article,
“Why There Are So Few Moderate Republicans Left
And why that’s not likely to change.”

I wonder if those who are Republicans agree?
Trump is kind of making it obvious who he prefers.
“Make that two QAnon-supporting candidates from Georgia who have been invited to the White House tonight — as an audience when Donald Trump accepts the GOP nomination for president a second time.
Angela Stanton-King, the Republican candidate for U.S. Rep. John Lewis’s Fifth District seat, posted her own blue-and-gold invitation on Wednesday. “I’m so excited to see all of my fellow supportive conservatives yet once again!” she wrote on Twitter. “Let’s Go!”
Stanton will join Marjorie Taylor Greene, the controversial 14th District candidate, who has also been invited. Greene is considered a shoo-in for her race; Stanton-King has almost no chance.
We checked to see if the two Republican candidates in Georgia’s most competitive congressional races have heard from the president: Rich McCormick and Karen Handel both back Trump and have received his support in return.
Neither received invites.”
