With six months to go, the US election
is more unpredictable than ever

“You know what I hate?” Donald Trump asked in Freeland, Michigan, on Wednesday night. “When these guys get on television, they say – pundits, you know, the great pundits that never did a thing in their whole lives – ‘You know, we have two very unpopular candidates. We have Biden or we have Trump. These are very unpopular.’” Watched by a crowd of adoring fans in Make America Great Again (Maga) regalia, against the backdrop of a plane marked “Trump” in giant gold letters, the former US president protested a little too much: “I’m not unpopular!” Opinion polls disagree, showing Trump with a low approval rating thanks to voter

José Raúl Mulino, a last-minute conservative candidate in Panama’s 2024 presidential race, was elected in Sunday’s general election with a nearly ten percent lead over his closest rival.
Mulino, a 64-year-old lawyer and former minister of security in the country, campaigned on implementing a crackdown on migration by “closing” the dangerous Darien Gap jungle trail that Panama shares with Colombia, which thousands of migrants from South America and other regions use to reach the United States. Mulino has also vowed to improve Panama’s economy. The now president-elect ran as a stand-in candidate for former President Ricardo Martinelli (2009-2014), who was banned from running for a new term after local courts

There has been a pro-Palestinian encampment on MIT's campus for the past two weeks. This afternoon, MIT's President Sally Kornbluth posted a statement announcing that the camp will have to come to a close. She gave protesters until 2:30 pm today to vacate the camp. Kornbluth cited several reasons including the safety of protesters, the unfairness of allowing them to dominate the public space and evidence that outside forces were pushing for escalation.
The war in the Middle East continues to cause anguish and conflict here at MIT. Some have expressed their views through the encampment on the Kresge lawn. My team and I, as well as many faculty members, have
Sane-minded people who felt a sense of despair after seeing how the pro-Hamas college protests were playing out early on at places like Columbia University and UCLA were heartened in late April when the University of Florida issued a no-nonsense response to the "outrage" that ensued from the arrest of some campus agitators.
As RedState reported at the time, the statement released by U of F school spokesman Steve Orlando confirmed that they were not a daycare center and that if their rules were not followed, then consequences would follow.
"This is not complicated: The University of Florida is not a daycare, and we do not treat protesters like children
Columbia University announced on Monday that it will not hold a universitywide graduation ceremony after weeks of anti-Israel protests turned fiery last week.
The university announced it would hold other smaller ceremonies to honor graduating students but that the large commencement ceremony would be axed in favor of ensuring the security of the smaller events. Columbia was the epicenter of recent anti-Israel protests, culminating in the New York Police Department breaking up the encampment and taking back a university building protesters had forcefully taken last week.

Rafah ahead of expected ground operation
in Hamas stronghold 10 replies
Israel is preparing to launch what is expected to be a massive ground operation inside Rafah, a city in southern Gaza where some 1.5 million Palestinians have taken shelter. The Israeli army has begun ordering tens of thousands of Palestinians living in the city to evacuate.
On Monday, Israel’s Defense Forces ordered an evacuation of Rafah, signaling that a long-promised ground operation could be imminent. The Israeli army has described Rafah as the last significant Hamas stronghold after seven months of war, and its leaders have repeatedly said clearing Rafah is necessary to defeat the Islamic militant group.
Overnight, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant told U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd
The Texas Hispanic Policy Foundation took a survey in the second week of April. The results are not good for President Biden and other Democrats.
The survey shows that there is strong support among Hispanic voters for two signature border policies of Governor Greg Abbott.
First, 61% of Texas likely voters supported (and 34% opposed) spending $3.5 billion in Texas tax dollars annually on border security, ranging from border wall construction to the deployment of the Texas National Guard to the border. Two-thirds of white and three-fifths of Hispanic likely voters supported this policy, as do 86% of Republicans, 64% of independents, and even 33%
TOKYO — Nippon Steel said Friday it has postponed the expected closing of its $14.1 billion takeover of U.S. Steel by three months after the U.S. Department of Justice requested more documentation related to the deal.
Tokyo-based Nippon Steel Corp. said the deal, already approved by U.S. Steel’s shareholders, is still expected to go through. “Nippon Steel will continue to fully cooperate with the examination of the relevant authorities,” it said in a statement.
The sale has drawn opposition from President Joe Biden’s administration on economic and national security grounds, and from former President Donald Trump, the likely Republican presidential candidate in November’s election.
The new timing

While Democrats may have hoped that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s prosecution of former President Donald Trump would hurt his 2024 campaign, recent polling shows the proceedings have failed to seriously impact the president’s chances.
Trump will enter his fourth week of the New York trial on Monday, where he faces 34 felony counts related to allegedly falsifying business records when reimbursing a payment to pornstar Stormy Daniels in 2016. Several polls released since the start of jury selection on April 15 have found that a potential conviction won’t deter voters from supporting Trump in November. Moreover, individuals nationwide say they don’t believe the former president acted illegally
WASHINGTON -- Locked in a tight race for the presidency, Donald Trump prevails in trust to handle most issues in a new ABC News/Ipsos poll, yet President Joe Biden scores competitively on key personal attributes -- leaving wide open the question of who'll prevail come Election Day, now six months away.
Excluding people who say they wouldn't vote, Trump has 46% support, Biden 44%, in this national survey of more than 2,200 adults. (Nearly all the rest say they'd pick someone else.) Among registered voters, it's Biden 46%, Trump 45%. Among likely voters, it's Biden 49%, Trump 45%, again not a significant difference.
I keep telling you about how severe the censorship by Big Tech is, and it is becoming background noise (or background silence?).
So let me give you a concrete example: Google just booted this Trump ad that is completely, 100%, verifiably true for unspecified "policy violations." "Policy violations?" I can tell you exactly what the violation is: this ad is targeted at minority voters and it is probably very effective.
Google can't have that, can they?
We keep being told that Trump and the Republicans depend on foreign "election interference" in order to stay competitive, despite the fact that all sorts of investigations keep disproving it. Did not happen.

Remember the five Border Patrol agents on horseback who patrolled the Rio Grande River bank in Texas? An adviser to former San Antonio mayor and HUD secretary started a lie on social media that the agents were whipping Haitian migrants as they waded through the Rio Grande toward the Texas shore. It was a hoax to smear Border Patrol agents but the Biden administration fell for it. The agents were taken off their assignment as the lie went viral. The photographer who took the photo used to justify the lie said immediately that the agents were not whipping the migrants. The reins

Rising Number of Men Don't Want to Work
28 replies
American men are opting out of the workforce at unforeseen rates. For many, it's not an issue of not being able to find a job. They have simply opted out altogether. The Bureau of Labor Statistics found only 89 percent of working age men have a job or are actively looking for work. In 1950, that number was at 97 percent. While the early 1950s saw around 96 percent of working age American men between the ages of 25 and 54 working full or part-time jobs, that proportion has now moved to just 86 percent, according to the Bureau of
Crooked far left Judge Juan Merchan threatened President Trump on Monday with contempt of court violations.
Merchan also threatened to throw President Trump in prison.
Merchan also threatened President Trump’s team with contempt of court for speaking out publicly in his defense.
Democrats hate when conservatives and Trump supporters refute their lies and push back against their lawfare attacks.(Photo, X) Crooked Judge Merchan still has not allowed the defense team to know the witnesses that will be called before the court.
The far left judge told Trump he has until 2:15 PM today to take down posts on Truth Social.
Former CNN host Chris Cuomo said in a recent news segment that he is suffering from a health condition after he received a COVID-19 vaccine.
Mr. Cuomo made the revelation during his NewsNation program when he was interviewing a nurse practitioner, Sean Barcavage, who was featured in a recent New York Times article about vaccine injuries.
“We know that vaccines can have unintended consequences, AKA side effects, but nobody’s really talking about it because they’re too afraid of blame, and they just want it to go away,” Mr. Cuomo said. “But the problem is people like Sean—and me—and millions of others who still have weird stuff with their bloodwork and their lives
WASHINGTON – Sen. Bernie Sanders, the 82-year-old self-described democratic socialist from Vermont, announced Monday that he plans to seek another term in the U.S. Senate. In a video statement posted to X, formerly Twitter, Sanders said he would be "in a strong position to provide the kind of help that Vermonters need in these difficult times," noting his high-level role in multiple committees and in the Senate's Democratic leadership. "In many ways, this 2024 election is the most consequential election in our lifetimes," he said, not directly referencing President Joe Biden or former President Donald Trump but adding: "Will the United

the Bronx don’t know what the word ‘computer’ means 17 replies
Bronx politicians are ripping Gov. Kathy Hochul after she asserted that some black children in the borough don’t know what the word “computer” means.
Hochul, speaking at an on-stage forum in California Monday, stuck her foot in her mouth while trying to explain how she wants to create a diverse workforce in new areas like artificial intelligence.
“Right now we have, you know, young black kids growing up in the Bronx who don’t even know what the word ‘computer’ is,” Gov. Kathy Hochul blabbered into a microphone Monday.
“They don’t know, they don’t know these things. And I want the world opened up to all of them,” she continued.
The CEO of Hims has walked back his support of anti-Israel campus protesters after the male hair loss company's stock dropped by 10 percent amid a boycott sparked by his comments.
Andrew Dudum, who identifies as Palestinian-American, last week sparked uproar by offering jobs to the campus protesters at Columbia and other schools.
Share holders sold off their positions and customers canceled their subscriptions in a boycott that tanked the company's value.
On Sunday night, Dudum took to X to 'clarify' his comments, toning down his full-throated support after a wave of backlash.
The Biden regime has cut off ammunition supplies to Israel as they attempt to appease the growing anger among the left of the Democratic Party over America’s support for the war against Hamas.
According to a report from Axios, the decision to put a hold on the ammunition shipment caused panic among the Israeli security services and is intended to prevent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from proceeding with an invasion of Rafah.
DEI has infiltrated our American military like a deadly toxin, making it incapable of defending our shores or our country. The higher-ups in the American armed forces have somehow succumbed to a racist philosophy that recruits, promotes, hires, and rewards black, brown, and Hispanic members at the expense of white people, who need not apply.
Word is out: White people will not be hired or promoted according to merit, nor will they even be allowed to function the way other races function so long as DEI has a branch in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, or any other American defense mechanism.

An Arizona State University senior who was arrested and suspended after trespassing during an anti-Israel protest broke down in tears over missing graduation as a consequence of her actions.
“I’m being restricted from a lot of things right now that I didn’t expect to be for standing up for something I believe in,” Breanna Brocker told ABC15 as she choked up.
“You know I have family coming in who I have to let them know not come to my graduation ceremonies.”
She tearfully added: “I’m just disappointed. I’m a 2020 high school grad, so I wasn’t able to walk then.
