With kelloggs announcer you can quit. So where we are right now in for free help, call 1800quit now. This election cycle is less important than where well be in october. So im looking forward to my 9 12 nodaysoff migraine medicine. Actually seeing this race sharpen and then the debates its ubrelvy. Will be the determining factor in my opinion of how this the migraine medicine i can take anytime, election turns out anywhere migraine strikes without worrying the republicans last week if its too late, or where i am. Ripped the Democrats Convention one dose of ubrelvy works fast. For being dark and promised that theirs would be more optimistic it can quickly stop my migraine in its tracks and hopeful. Let me play a sampling of some within two hoursrelieving pain and debili of the unlike older medicines, its almost like this ubrelvy is a pill that directly blocks cgrp protein, election is shaping up to be believed to be a cause of migraine. Church, work, and school versus do not take with strong cyp3a4 inhibitors. Rioting, looting, and vandalism. Theyll disarm you, empty the few people had side effects. Most common were nausea and tiredness. Prisons, lock you in your home, and invite ms13 to live next migraine hits hard. Hit back with ubrelvy. Door the anytime, anywhere migraine medicine. Your family will not be safe in the radical democrats america. Far left democrats in our School District made this shooting possible. They want to control what you see and think and believe so that they can control how you live now, your speech was pretty upbeat although you did land some punches, ill grant you do you like that message that the Convention Sent last night, or do you wish that rhetoric would be ratcheted down a little bit . Well, this is a political process and drawing contrast very important what i like to think about is what i spoke about because important to me is that my grandfathers 99th birthday is today and the fact that americas changed so much, weve evolved into a better nation and we continue to move towards that more Perfect Union so while there were certainly some fire and brimstone last week and we certainly created a stark contrast this week, the importance of the messages that im trying to provide to the American People is that we are Better Together and this election cycle will have a chance to decide the fate of this nation and direction of the anytime, anywhere migraine medicine. Wheres mommy . Oh, oh hey sweetie. This nation. Mother nature is at work, but father nature is here. And im actually very optimistic and excited about where were im hungry. Going. Last night featured many lets see. Black speakers seal noise you were the closer, the oh, how about some smuckers natural . Yess. Headliner. There was a concerted effort, it first ingredient, real strawberries. Seemed, to reach black voters in wind blowing mommys home particular as you well know in the polls, about 8 of black voters support the president. I think its 88 for Vice President biden. How much of an uphill climb is this to try to win back some of those black voters well, its always been a challenge for the last two or three decades for republicans to do well in africanamerican communities. I think our policy positions have been far better than that of the democrats we are going to continue to go where were not invited to be able to talk to voters in a way that says we care about the issues that are important to those voters from hbcus to opportunity zones to unemployment issues to workforce Participation Rate weve addressed some of the major issues that have been sticking points in the past. Im certainly hopeful the way weve addressed these issues will resonate with the voters and drive those numbers up im encouraged i will see we will see an increase in the number of africanamericans voting for the president and the republican ticket. Well see what happens in november, but today im pretty optimistic about increasing those numbers. The president went to North Carolina yesterday to open up we are back taking in an the convention and spent several depth look this morning at the minutes railing again against latest on the coronavirus and mailin voting saying the troubling news out of hong kong this morning. Yeah. Democrats are trying to steal the election, that there will be we have learned that a man there widespread fraud hes predicting who already had the virus once and, quote, the only way we lose the election is if it is a rigged election.

He is said to be young and remain are going to be local issues, having served in local healthy. Government i have a lot of confidence in how we will take so what does this say for anybody else, for you or for me, care of this election cycle. You know, the president has not missed an opportunity to if we contract covid . From hong kong this morning, the talk about this mailin voting these are just his remarks first confirmed case of a yesterday.
