Congress has cancelled funding for a high-tech advanced radar system that was nearing deployment which would have protected the nation’s capitol from a new high-speed Russian cruise missile system recently deployed in Syria. The surprise cancellation was one of the little known parts of the omnibus spending bill. The advanced JLENS radar is slung under a large blimp. But last year, one of the blimps broke free of its tether, embarrassing the program managers. However, the tether appears to have been a simple mechanical failure, unrelated to the robust complexities of the new radar system. After spending billions of dollars in developmental costs, the system was nearing completion. According to Chet Nagle, a former champion of the JLENS system in the Pentagon: “It is now in a final operational test at Aberdeen Proving Ground that will prove its worth and … will protect most of the eastern seaboard from cruise missile attack.” Nagle explained that the radar quickly identifies high-speed, incoming threats and automatically targets them for aircraft and missiles already stationed in the region. The new Russian cruise missiles fly so fast that they can overwhelm existing defensive missile systems protecting the U.S. east coast. They can be fired at relatively short range from submarines. According to Admiral Bill Gortney, chief of NORAD, in testimony before lawmakers earlier this month trying to rescue the program with a 27 million-dollar supplemental spending request: “The Russians are employing these cruise missiles in Syria today, both from bombers, ships, and submarines.” “There’s no operational or tactical requirement to do it. They’re messaging us that they have this capability and those missiles can have a nuclear-tipped or conventional warhead.” However, the small supplemental request has now been turned down and the project killed unless and until the next President gets behind it. Without JLENS, it is unlikely that the nation’s capitol could be defended from such a threat. I’m Still reporting from Washington. Good day.

Good morning, I’m still reporting on Donald Trump Tromps Crooked Clinton in Debate – up in Polls Donald Trump dominated Hillary Clinton in Presidential Debate #2. In today’s USC Daybreak poll, Trump improved in almost all categories and has won back all the support he lost over the weekend. Nationally, Trump reversed three days of declines and now leads Clinton by 45.8 to 42.7% - a 3.1% margin. Clinton saw her biggest decline in 10 days, sinking 6/10s of a percent yesterday. 2,893 people were sampled in yesterday’s poll. Trump still leads in all three age demographics, recovering most of what he had lost among middle-aged voters, and returned to a solid 4 percentage point lead 46.7 – 42.7%. In the +65s group, Trump now leads 49% to 44.3% - a 4.7% lead. When sorted by educational levels, Trump’s lead with those with a high school education or less increased to 54 Trump, 36 Clinton – a dominating 18 point lead. In those with at least some college – the largest group sampled - Trump regained all of what he had lost in the past two days, and this morning leads Clinton by a another dominating margin - 7.7% - 47.8% Trump, 40.1% Clinton. Among those with advanced college degrees, Clinton still has a big lead – 51.7% to 35.4% - a 16.3% lead. However, the sample size seems way out of proportion to real life numbers. 1098 were sampled – or 38% of the total. Ask yourself, do you think 38% of the entire US population has an advanced college degree? No. In 2012 – the latest figures I could find- only 10.9% of the US population had an advanced degree. So in the future, we’ll have to watch this number. When sorted by income, Clinton still leads with the very poor – those making less than $35,000/year – by a 13.3% margin. In the middle income group – with household incomes between $35k and 75k, Trump finally turned around his 4-day 4.2% slide and now leads Clinton by a whopping 12.7 points – 50.7 to 38%. Trump increased his lead among the $75k and over income group by 47.8 to 42% - a 5.8% lead. These are big, big leads, folks – especially at this late stage in this race – especially after this all-out scandal attack by the Clintons – a typical Clinton way of running an election campaign. But here’s the big number of the night. Clinton’s support among females dropped 1.4% yesterday – from 50.3% down to 48.9% today. That still gives her a 10.1% lead over Trump, but since we expect further declines in this number tomorrow – it’s not a good sign for Clinton, especially when Trump held onto his 16.8% lead with men - 52.9 to 36.1. The bottom line here is the Clinton dirty tricks machine – even with the all-out support of the crooked mainstream media – was able to get only a small bump in the polls over the weekend, but Trump has already won that back and more, and we believe that the full measure of Trump’s debate performance will not be seen until tomorrow’s numbers come out.

I HAVE FULL PERMISSION TO USE THE INSERTED VIDEO CLIP! Referenced video short URL: http://bit.ly/still707 Late last year, Growing America, one of the nation’s leading agricultural publications, produced a beautiful and moving short film about how one wealthy real estate investor in New York read about the plight of one Georgia farm family and decided to help. Betsy Sharp is the daughter of Lenard Hill, a Georgia farmer who took his life in the early 1980 after 3 bad years of farming. The farm had been in the family for over 100 years, but farmers typically have to mortgage their land each year just to produce next year’s crop. Betsy’s family was on the verge of losing the entire farm when Mr. Trump stepped in. He had nothing to gain. He sought no publicity. He just cares about people.

Good morning, I’m still reporting on Michigan Recount Halted by Federal Judge A federal court judge has revoked his earlier order and said that the presidential ballot recount should be stopped because Green Party candidate Jill Stein did not have a large enough vote to have standing. U.S. District Court Judge Mark Goldsmith has changed his mind and sided with the Michigan Court of Appeals which ordered the recount to be stopped yesterday. Goldsmith said that Stein had not presented valid reasons for the recount, and that since she had no chance of winning, she was not an “aggrieved” candidate. The latest twist, first reported about 9 pm, is that Stein has now appealed again – this time to the Michigan Supreme Court. Hillary Clinton’s campaign has not changed its posture of supporting Stein’s recount efforts. This afternoon, Stein’s group, Election Integrity Recount 2016, has just put out a new fundraising letter asking for an additional $2.3 dollars to continue the fight, after already raising $7.5 million – a total of $9.7 million dollars.
