    My current VPN subscription expires in a couple of months.  It's been working fine, but instead of waiting for them to refresh their IP addresses when they have been blacklisted, I think I will change provider to one that offers a dedicated VPN and be done with all the grief, once and for all. 

     

    I can VPN back to my own modem in my home country, and this has got me out of trouble on some occasions, but it is slower than a paid VPN, which is not so good for streaming.

     

    Any other recommendations from members for a dedicated VPN company would be appreciated.    

    If by "dedicated VPN company" you are referring to dedicated, streaming, residential, sports, etc IP address's, then yes there is a good one, Torguard. They offer "dedicated" UK IP's (as an extra cost addon) that are guaranteed to work with streaming services in UK including iPlayer. I've used them for years and they solve geo-blocking issues very well. Avoid NordVPN as they are less than ethical and this can be checked online. Torguard has a stellar reputation.

    Oh, so now it's image that's important and not substance? Anyway, as a massive Pew Poll shows, positivity of the rest of the world's opinion of American declined precipitously under Donald Trump. He is less highly regarded than even Xi of China. I believe that the only 2 nations polled that were exceptions to this were Israel and Russia.

    But,

    "the United States continues to be the most popular destination for immigrants. Achieving the “American Dream” is still a major factor for many families, individuals, and entrepreneurs around the globe. As you may imagine, a better quality of life, increased job opportunities, and financial stability are some of the main reasons for immigrating to the U.S."

     

    US is still the number 1 preferred destination for migrants.

    Republicans are trying to invalidate about 100.000 cast votes in texas, in a Democratic county.

    Yes, keeping the election honest is a republican initiative. Voter fraud is rampant these days. Just ask Joe.

    What's Hunter got to do with this?  If you are looking at the candidates children, plenty of BS going on with Trump's.  Plenty!

     

    If you want to talk about flip flops, where's the wall?  How come Hillary isn't in jail?  Where's a replacement for ACA?  I could go on and on.

     

    Time for our liar in chief to go.  Perhaps to jail for his tax evasions.

    Yeah, well, whatever cranks yah dude. Enjoy!

    According to Gallup, enthusiasm is up for this election for both parties but it's higher for the Democrats. Most likely enthusiastic about voting against Trump.

    It's safe to assume America has NEVER witnessed this unprecedented supercharged enthusiasm for a democratic candidate! Joe's got the mojo goin now. Truly remarkable.

    13,000 in attendance in MI @ a Trump rally. 250 attending Biden's rally in IA this afternoon. And, his next stop is MN where GOP has been absent since Nixon in 72. He must be real torqued out of shape that Trump steals MN! Good, I like Minnesota. The video compares recent Trump & Biden rallies in PA. (not IA /PA)

  6. But for the good news:

    "Deloitte estimated that the U.S. contraction in in 2020 would be the second mildest (behind only Japan) among G7 nations, with all the other countries — Canada, France, Germany, Italy, the U.K. — estimated to take a harder hit."

    New third quarter 2020 economic numbers out Thursday are expected to show record growth, confirming a rapid, V-shaped recovery from the nationwide economic shutdown induced in the spring in response to the spread of COVID-19.

     

    The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, the Chicago Fed, the Conference Board, and Goldman Sachs have all expected growth to be between 30% and 35%, on an annualized basis. This level of growth, economists note, would be the highest in the history of American GDP calculations, which began during the Great Depression."

    Biden is pitching nothing today, Obama is doing the heavy lifting in Fl. for poor ole Joe. He can't even campaign, how the heck can he run the country. Both him and his campaign have no energy and zero momentum now. They are finished. This guy will never be a Walmart associate let alone president.

  8. Google searches for “change my vote” have spiked over the last several days, and Americans interested in adjusting their ballot are also searching for more information on Hunter Biden, one week after the Post’s exposés.

    More than 58.5 million have already cast their ballots, and searches for “change my vote” started trending over the last few days — linked to searches for “Hunter Biden,” according to Google Trendsdata.

     My idea is that you incorrectly view 45 as a normal president. In reality, it's totally obvious that he's personally (financially, etc.) compromised to hostile powers including Russia and Turkey. That's not OK. That's potentially treasonous. So you make tangential lame excuses with a troll baiting question. Not playing. The "dear leader" is soon to be hoisted on the dustbin of history. Good riddance. 

    Ok, but if Trump can find a way to better manage china and other threats by aligning himself strategically with others who share the same objectives on the world stage, this would be a big win. Take a look for yourself at some of trumps foreign policy genius. It's not trolling, I only see some creative solutions to the most pressing and radical world current events. You think Hillary was, and biden are so squeaky clean and devoid of compromise! Think again, right hunter! Maybe you need a bigger or smaller box to think outside of. Or maybe you are waiting for biden and harris to "knock em dead" with their secret, "...vote for me and I'll tell you everything" foreign policy, to be revealed post election. Stop complaining about me and see the bigger picture.
