President Biden’s approval rating average is lower than any other president in recent history at the same point in their time in the White House, data released Friday found. The president averaged 38.7 percent job approval in his 13th quarter in office, which ran from Jan. 20 to April 19, according to averages aggregated by Gallup. In the same quarter, former President Trump had a 46.8 percent approval rating average; former President Obama’s was 45.9 percent and former President George W. Bush’s was 51 percent, according to Gallup. The second-lowest to Biden’s in that time was former President George H.W. Bush, who had a 41.8 percent mark.

Would make a huge difference in a normal election being fought on the basis of votes. But a ‘contest’ based on packing boxes with fraudulent ballots it makes no difference.

I am afraid that #2 is correct. Unless the Dems' voter fraud can be stopped, we will never win another election that matters.

I think about 30% of it is TDS. In rest of the cases the voter is probably demented!

It's been a little confusing since arrests were made during the big pro-Hamas protest on the University of Texas-Austin campus on Wednesday. Are students free to return to campus? Yes and no. It seems there was confusion on Friday. On Thursday, the Travis County district attorney dropped all criminal trespass charges against those who were arrested. On Friday, the university confirmed that the arrested students will not be allowed to freely be on campus. University spokesman Mike Rosen released a statement Friday afternoon. Students will be allowed to complete courses for the semester but may only return to campus for academic reasons and to access university resources with approval.

We've seen a lot of craziness with the unhinged protests about Gaza from leftists at campuses across the country, including at NYU, Columbia, and other institutions.

Hezbollah flags were seen being waved, including at the Princeton University.encampment on Thursday.

On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan stated that it’s “not clear” that it’s even possible for Israel to have “a credible plan” for an invasion of Rafah that the White House would support. Sullivan said, “[W]e have made clear that our policy in Gaza will be determined by the steps Israel takes, both with respect to facilitating humanitarian assistance that can save lives, and with respect to civilian protection as it conducts its operations. We have also made clear our absolute deep and fundamental concern about a major military operation in Rafah, because we believe, first,

The Biden administration has reportedly abandoned its plans to ban menthol cigarettes after warnings that it could push away some Black voters. The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday the White House dropped its plans for the ban after weighing the potential public health benefits against possible political repercussions. “This rule has garnered historic attention and the public comment period has yielded an immense amount of feedback, including from various elements of the civil rights and criminal justice movement,” Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said in a Friday statement. “It’s clear that there are still more conversations to have

President Joe Biden said Friday he would be willing to debate former president Donald Trump, after months of declining to say definitively whether he planned to appear onstage alongside his Republican challenger. “I am, somewhere.

When you let a crazed, genocidal maniac talk long enough, they will always expose themselves. That happened on Thursday when two videos were released of a pro-Hamas protest leader suggesting Jews should be murdered. Shockingly, this is the same person Columbia University officials have been "negotiating" with over the last few days. Kymani James can be seen ranting about how "Zionists," which are Jews, do not deserve to live and should be exterminated like "nazis." A fair warning. This guy's words are extremely violent and disturbing.

Did y'all hear that boom in the distance this morning? Schmaybe get a foul whiff of something burning in the air? Perhaps saw a pale wisp of smoke on the horizon and wonder, "What now?" It was only the economy tanking. No bigs. The big babies on Wall Street swooned. I wonder if Biden's gonna chew them out now, too. Stocks tumbled Thursday after the latest U.S. economic data showed a sharp slowdown in growth and pointed to persistent inflation. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slid 493 points, or 1.3%, weighed down by steep declines in Caterpillar and IBM. The S&P 500 dropped 0.9%, and the Nasdaq Composite lost 1.3%.

WASHINGTON — Coal-fired power plants would be forced to capture smokestack emissions or shut down under a rule issued Thursday by the Environmental Protection Agency. New limits on greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel-fired electric plants are the Biden administration’s most ambitious effort yet to roll back planet-warming pollution from the power sector, the nation’s second-largest contributor to climate change. The rules are a key part of President Joe Biden’s pledge to eliminate carbon pollution from the electricity sector by 2035 and economy-wide by 2050. The rule was among four measures targeting coal and natural gas plants that the EPA said would provide “regulatory certainty” to the power industry and encourage
Supreme Court Poised to Agree with Trump:

WASHINGTON, DC–A majority of Supreme Court justices sympathized with Donald Trump’s attorneys’ arguments that a president does enjoy some level of immunity that endures past the term of office. The court heard oral arguments regarding if Trump is immune from prosecution on charges of attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election, as Special Counsel Jack Smith claims. A federal trial court ruled in Smith’s favor that Trump is not immune from prosecution, but Smith’s prosecution in D.C. has been on hold until the Supreme Court weighs in, likely in late June. Arguments revealed that a majority appears to agree that presidents do enjoy some scope of

New York — Southwest Airlines announced Thursday it will stop serving four airports after reporting increased losses in the first quarter and more delays in the delivery of promised jets from Boeing. The four airports are Bellingham International Airport in Washington state, Cozumel International Airport in Mexico, Syracuse Hancock International Airport in New York and Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport. Southwest will continue to serve Houston’s other airport. “The recent news from Boeing regarding further aircraft delivery delays presents significant challenges for both 2024 and 2025,” said Southwest CEO Bob Jordan in the company’s first-quarter financial results statement. “We are reacting and replanning quickly to mitigate

An antisemitic protest came to the University of Texas-Austin on Wednesday. A well-organized protest began in the morning and continued well into the night. There are reports that two members of the media were arrested. I saw on social media that a local Fox affiliate's photojournalist was taken away by police. The other report is that a CBS Austin news crew was "pushed and shoved." I haven't seen specifics on a second arrest. Here is Carlos, the Fox 7 photojournalist. Carlos was charged with criminal trespassing. Video footage posted on YouTube by FOX 7 Austin shows the photographer taking footage of the moment law enforcement began pushing back the protest line,

Pope Francis: Climate Change Deniers Are ‘Stupid 70 replies

Pope Francis told CBS News this week that climate change deniers are “stupid” even in the face of compelling evidence of a climate emergency. “Some people are stupid (necios), and stupid even if you show them research, they don’t believe it,” the pontiff told CBS Evening News anchor Norah O’Donnell when asked what he would say to the deniers of climate change. “Why? Because they don’t understand the situation, or because of their interests, but climate change exists,” the 87-year-old pope asserted. Pope Francis had never before sat down for an extensive interview, one-on-one, with a U.S. television network during the course of his 11-year pontificate.

U.S. Senate candidate Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) had his luggage stolen in San Francisco, California, on Thursday, leaving him without a suit as he addressed an audience that evening. The San Francisco Chronicle reported: Hello to the city, goodbye to your luggage. That was Senatorial candidate Adam Schiff’s rude introduction to San Francisco’s vexing reputation for car burglaries Thursday when thieves swiped the bags from his car while it sat in a downtown parking garage. The heist meant the Democratic congressman got stuck at a fancy dinner party in his shirt sleeves and a hiking vest while everyone else sat in suits.

George Soros and his hard-left acolytes are paying agitators who are fueling the explosion of radical anti-Israel protests at colleges across the country. The protests, which began when students took over Columbia University’s Morningside Heights campus lawn last week, have mushroomed nationwide. Copycat tent cities have been set up at colleges including Harvard, Yale, Berkeley in California, the Ohio State University and Emory in Georgia — all of them organized by branches of the Soros-funded Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) — and at some, students have clashed with police.

A wholesome Midwestern city has become the country's hottest real-estate market because of its premium location, job market and booming culture. Rockford in Illinois lies just 90 miles from Chicago and Milwaukee and is expecting a direct train line to the Windy City in just a few years. Last year property prices there surged by an astonishing 51.7 percent in 12 months, according to new Realtor.com data. The median house price in Rockland sits at $233,000 and it's still possible to buy a desirable property there that will likely appreciate considerably in value.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has raised alarms over evidence suggesting that China is actively attempting to influence and potentially interfere with the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election. This revelation comes despite assurances from Chinese communist President Xi Jinping that his country would not engage in such activities. In an interview with CNN, Blinken expressed concern over the evidence the United States has gathered, per Daily Mail. “We have seen, generally speaking, evidence of attempts to influence and arguably interfere, and we want to make sure that that’s cut off as quickly as possible,” Blinken said.
