WASHINGTON - U.S. President Joe Biden's public approval rating edged lower this week and was close to the lowest level of his presidency, with just five weeks to go before the Nov. 8 midterm elections, a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll completed on Tuesday found. The two-day national poll found that 40% of Americans approve of Biden's job performance, down from 41% a week earlier. The president's sagging popularity, which drifted as low as 36% in May and June, has helped drive expectations that his Democratic Party will lose control of the U.S. House of Representatives in November, and possibly the Senate
The left is thrilled with what they heard during the second day of oral arguments in the Supreme Court term from new justice, Ketanji Brown Jackson.
The case that was getting a lot of attention was an Alabama gerrymandering case, which they were claiming involved racial discrimination in voting policies, and therefore, was a violation of the Voting Rights Act.
The redrawn map had one majority Black district out of seven, even though Black voters account for 27 percent of the state’s voting population. The Court of Appeals ordered them to redraw the map, which likely would have helped the Democrats. But the Supreme Court took the case,
The Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis has revealed how three of the four looting suspects that were arrested in Lee County were in the United States illegally.
The Republican Governor made the revelation during a news conference in Fort Myers on Tuesday as he gave an update about the response to Hurricane Ian.
DeSantis focused on 'law and order' in Southwest Florida and drew a connection between that at his opposition to President Joe Biden's immigration policies.
'These are people that are foreigners, they're illegally in our country, but not only that, they try to loot and ransack in the aftermath of a natural disaster,' DeSantis explained.
As we noted earlier, despite various Democrat “comeback” narratives that the MSM and the Very Online Left have been trying to push for months, unless a miracle happens Democrats look set to lose their majority in the House and possibly even the Senate, with Joe Biden’s approval ratings still languishing in the low to mid-40s and Congressional generic balloting once again favoring the GOP. One reason for all the talk of a “resurgence” in support for Democrats was the June decision by the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade, which stirred up a boiling cauldron of outrage amongst The Usual Suspects for who the “right” to terminate
President Biden complained that the White House press corps is the 'only press in the world' that shouts questions at their nation's leader during formal events. A task force meeting on abortion access began open press, where reporters were allowed in to observe the conversations, but at one point a White House staffer announced the meeting would switch to closed press. As reporters were ushered out of the room they burst into questions aimed at the president, many of them centered on a report that Georgia Republican Senate candidate paid for an abortion of an ex-girlfriend in 2009. But louder than the din of the reporters' inquiries was
Biden Crime Family whistleblower Tony Bobulinski told Fox News host Tucker Carlson that Joe Biden was the ‘chairman’ and ‘figurehead’ of Hunter Biden’s international business dealings.
Tony Bobulinski, a retired lieutenant in the US Navy, was the CEO of Sinohawk Holdings which was a partnership between the Chinese operating through CEFC/Chairman Ye and the Biden family.
Bobulinski has repeatedly stated that he met with Joe Biden numerous times to discuss Hunter Biden’s business deals.

The Biden administration allowed hundreds of Afghans from last year’s airlift to disappear into American communities without getting COVID-19 or other vaccinations, an inspector general has revealed. The information was released as the Biden administration was starting the process to fire government workers who didn’t get the coronavirus shots—including some employees at Homeland Security, the department that allowed the Afghans to go free. Investigators couldn’t say exactly how many Afghans avoided vaccination. They said the Homeland Security Department reported that fewer than 600 walked away without the shots in the early weeks of the evacuation, but dodgy records made it impossible for the inspector general to evaluate
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) on Tuesday slammed President Joe Biden for not sharing with Florida hurricane victims his personal wealth that he could have gained from the Biden family business deals.
Tweeting a photo of a Politico caption that accused Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) of using the “president’s wallet” to restore hurricane victims, Massie responded the federal recovery funds were not Biden’s but instead belong to the taxpayer. Massie then bashed Biden for not actually donating any personal funds to hurricane victims who could benefit from his sketchy business schemes in which the president reportedly requested a ten percent cut.
“Excuse me, it’s not the President’s wallet,”
ARLINGTON, Tex. — Aaron Judge is the new home run king — at least to some people.
The Yankees outfielder made history Tuesday, hitting his 62nd home run of the season to break Roger Maris’ American League and franchise record set in 1961 — and, some would say, the legitimate MLB record.
He reached the landmark number against Jesus Tinoco of the Texas Rangers, leading off in the second-to-last regular season game on the season.
In the first game of Tuesday’s doubleheader, Judge went 1 for 5 as the designated hitter, singling and scoring the eighth inning.
The Department of Homeland Security paid $12 million to a consortium of private actors to censor President Joe Biden’s political opponents and engage in election interference on social media platforms.
The bombshell report was revealed by Robby Starbuck, who had made a bid for U.S. Congress in Tennessee’s House District 5, before running into opposition from the Republican Party to appear on the GOP primary ballot.

As an epidemic of crime ravages cities like Philadelphia, Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles, the networks are hiding the people making the situation much worse: Big city district attorneys who refuse to prosecute crime, partisans who are all backed by extreme leftist billionaire George Soros. The ABC, CBS and NBC morning and evening shows are barely mentioning the men and women who put in place these disastrous policies. And they’re certainly not mentioning any connection to Soros.

It seems like ten years ago, but the legal drama surrounding the Department of Justice’s arguably unconstitutional raid on Mar-a-Lago is still being fought. The Justice Department is appealing the Trump motion for a special master, even as that person is reviewing the records seized by FBI agents on August 8. The DOJ tried to make the case that such a delay would constitute a national security risk.

Jen Psaki is usually wrong, not because she’s stupid, but because she’s an ideologue, a rabid partizan, and statist zealot. And, she seems to savor a well placed lie. But that’s expected from a former White House press secretary, and William and Mary graduate, who spent her entire tenure contorting the borders of reality, gleefully creating fictions to explain Joe Biden’s precipitous decline into senility.

The Georgia Senate race is heating up following the establishment media airing accusations against Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker. All the while, that same establishment media conveniently continue to ignore the domestic controversies swirling around Herschel’s opponent, Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA).

Former President Donald Trump has asked the Supreme Court to intervene in the dispute over materials marked as classified the FBI seized from his Mar-a-Lago estate this summer.
His emergency request with the Supreme Court is the latest example of the former President seeking to involve the justices in investigations that entangle him – at a time when the high court’s legitimacy in politically explosive cases is under intense scrutiny.
Trump is specifically asking the court to ensure that the more than 100 documents marked as classified are part of the special master’s review. The request, if granted, could bolster the former President’s attempt to challenge the search in court
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s (D) office issued a contract proposal for a “Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Expression (SOGIE) Consultant” to assist the administration's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) unit with “awareness, education and opportunities” for LGBTQIA+ and “two-spirit” youth and their families.

Seattle—The former Seattle tech worker responsible for hacking activity that impacted millions of people in 2019 was sentenced Tuesday to time served and five years of probation. Paige Thompson, 37, was convicted of wire fraud and five counts of unauthorized access to a protected computer and damaging a protected computer in June.

Not content with the US Supreme Court’s perverse ruling blocking the Trump administration from reinstating a plainly constitutional citizenship question in the 2020 census and the Census Bureau’s apparent insubordination under Donald Trump, House Democrats recently passed legislation making it still more difficult for a future administration to reinstate the citizenship question and further insulating the agency from accountability to any president.(Snip)While the bureau, in conducting its Post-Enumeration Survey, only found a relatively small net undercount in the total US population of 0.24%—or approximately 780,000 people—it also found major overcount/undercount errors when it comes to the 50 states.

The city of Johannesburg, South Africa, which had been governed by an opposition coalition since municipal elections last year, saw its government collapse over the weekend, a sign that the country could be led by a racist left-wing party after the 2024 election.
The liberal Democratic Alliance (DA), the country’s largest opposition party, has made steady advances in urban areas over the last two decades. Last year, it succeeded in taking over the troubled city of Johannesburg, installing physician Mpho Phalatse as mayor. Johannesburg, the country’s economic hub and the most important industrial metropolis on the African continent, has suffered high crime and declining public services in recent years.
Alaska, New Mexico and Tennessee have the highest rates of murder, rape and other violent crimes in the United States, while Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont have the lowest, according to a study released this week.

The White House on Tuesday announced plans to provide another $625 million in military aid to Ukraine—including advanced HIMARS rocket systems that have proved crucial in pushing back Russian forces.
Details emerged after President Joe Biden spoke to his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky, to reassure him that the U.S. would not recognize Russia's annexation of parts of Ukraine. It brings the total American assistance to more than $16.8 billion since Russia invaded Ukraine in February. The two leaders were joined by Vice President Kamala Harris on the call, which came as Russian forces suffered further setbacks near the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson.

Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg offered to pour millions of dollars into the Philadelphia election office to pay for poll workers and other election-related expenses during the 2020 election, new emails reveal. The offer from Mr. Bloomberg, a news media and financial services mogul who ranks among the richest men in the world, was arranged through an intermediary—Stanford Law School Professor Nathaniel Persily, according to the emails. At the time, Mr. Persily was co-director of the Stanford-MIT Healthy Elections Project, which worked with local officials to help them carry out the 2020 elections amid the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Big Apple will relocate—and downsize—its first tent city for migrants from the Bronx to Randall’s Island due to flooding issues, according to City Hall. The city has ditched the already-under construction site on Orchard Beach that would have housed 1,000 migrants and will instead erect tents to accompany half that number on Randall’s Island, Mayor Adams said in a Monday night statement.
The move was prompted by flooding at the Bronx site following this weekend’s rain storms. The cost of flood mitigation efforts would be more expensive than the cost of relocation, a City Hall spokesperson told The Post.
Three of the nation’s leading medical associations asked President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate and prosecute journalists and parents who are concerned with hospitals and physicians who provide transgender surgeries to minors.

Hundreds of thousands of Americans sought medical care after getting a COVID-19 vaccine, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data released on Oct. 3.
Some 782,900 people reported seeking medical attention, emergency room care, and/or hospitalization following COVID-19 vaccination. Another 2.5 million people reported needing to miss school, work, or other normal activities as a result of a health event after getting a COVID-19 vaccine.
The reports were made to the CDC’s V-safe program, a new vaccine safety monitoring system to which users can report issues through smartphones.

Sometimes you see a polling result that jumps out from the page. That was the case when I saw a recently released Gallup poll on who Americans think can better handle the issue that is most important to them.
Put in a historical context, this poll potentially portends very good things for Republicans come November.
We’re all used to polls that ask voters which issue is most important to them. Gallup puts the question to Americans open-ended, meaning a respondent can say anything from the mundane (e.g. inflation) to the inane (e.g. clowns).
Gallup, unlike other pollsters, has another twist on that question.
Elon Musk has sent Twitter a letter proposing to buy the social-media company for his original offer price of $54.20 a share, after spending months trying to back out of the initial deal, according to a new report.
Sources told Bloomberg News Musk has offered to buy Twitter, just weeks before he was set to appear in court to fight a lawsuit the company filed over his efforts to pull out of the $44 billion deal.
Twitter’s stock price briefly shot up as high as 18 percent on the news before trading was suspended. Musk first began trying to pull the plug on the deal in July.
Twitter shares soared Tuesday on a report that Elon Musk is proposing to acquire the social media giant for his original offer of $54.20 per share.
The company originally accepted Musk's $44 billion offer in April. However, the billionaire notified Twitter in July that he was planning to terminate the deal after claiming the company breached its obligations by misrepresenting the number of spam and fake accounts on the platform. Twitter maintains that spam and fake accounts make up less than 5% of its total users.
The Supreme Court’s abortion decision was leaked before being issued, apparently in an effort by the liberal wing of the Court or their clerks to pressure the majority to reverse themselves. The Chief Justice in a rare press release condemned the leak, as did other conservative justices (no liberal justice did) and promised an investigation by law enforcement.
That was five months ago. If the investigation concluded that it’s impossible to identify the leaker, we’re entitled to see the report. If the investigation did successfully identify the leaker, we’re entitled to know who it was.

The Climate Crisis … Of 536 AD

Earth’s climate is always changing. But despite the warming hysterics’ wild claims, it’s not changing at an alarming rate. Remember, when they cite United Nations reports warning of soaring temperatures and rising sea levels, the projections cover many decades, not just a few years. Of course there was a moment when the climate did change rapidly. It was so long ago, though, none of us can remember it.
Yet it happened. Many centuries before the first oil well was drilled. Almost 1,500 years ago.

The Gulf coast of Florida is not usually a place where notable hurricanes hit. Usually they hit on the east coast of Florida or they beeline it across the Gulf to Alabama or Louisiana, or they just peter out and skitter into the Gulf of Mexico to die.
But not this. Ian devastated parts of the Gulf coast of Florida, went inland and continued to wreak havoc there. Small Gulf cities like Englewood and Venice, Ft. Myers and others, were decimated by flooding and fallen trees.
Ian started his rampage out in the Caribbean and circuitously sneaked his way into the Gulf.

The city of New York continues to face devastating financial peril from remote work, as office buildings could potentially lose $50billion due to people doing their jobs from home.

Lessons learned from Ian

During this massive, angry, satanic storm that nature hurled our way here in Florida this past week, there are a lot of lessons I learned, some of which I'd rather not have learned.
Others, I was delighted to learn. My situation was a good one compared to many others. I did evacuate to an area slightly less impacted than the one directly in Hurricane Ian's eye, and we never once lost power. At times, though I thought the house would blow down, nothing budged except branches, leaves, and a few very old oaks.
