Fetterman’s Support Tanking Among His
Fellow Democrats, Poll Shows
Posted By: snakeoil, 5/10/2025 1:04:00 PM
Democratic Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman’s popularity is underwater among Democratic voters in his state according to an internal poll. The poll was performed from Feb. 6 to 11 — three months before New York Magazine released an article reporting that staff and other sources close to the senator worry for his physical and mental health, which Fetterman has since called a “one-source hit piece.” With the poll arriving on the heels of the story, Democrats have “begun looking into rules” regarding the senator’s potential resignation and are “whispering about potential replacements,” according to Politico, who first reported the poll.

Sir David Attenborough is launching what he says is one of the most important films of his career as he enters his hundredth year. He believes his new, cinema-length film Ocean could play a decisive role in saving biodiversity and protecting the planet from climate change. Sir David, who will be 99 on Thursday, says: "After almost 100 years on the planet, I now understand the most important place on Earth is not on land, but at sea." The ocean is the planet's support system and humanity's greatest ally against climate catastrophe, the film argues. It shows how the world's oceans are at a crossroads.
Democratic strategist James Carville bluntly explained why men loathe the Democratic Party during a Wednesday podcast appearance. President Donald Trump won the male vote in all three of his election campaigns by 8% or more each time, and had his biggest margin with the demographic — 12% — in 2024 against former Vice President Kamala Harris, according to the Center for American Women and Politics. Carville, on “The Tara Palmeri Show,” argued Democrats appear condescending toward men.
Youth Rejects Media and Government

As media brandished their fake news recently, they failed to consider the long-lasting impact on the well-being of the youth. In an era dominated by instant information and overwhelming media saturation, America's youth is facing a crisis of trust not only in institutions but in truth itself. The latest Harvard Kennedy School Youth Poll paints a stark picture: young Americans are increasingly skeptical, disoriented, and disengaged from the government that claims to represent them. And it’s no mystery why.
Over the last century, especially the last 60 years, government grants have supplied the lion’s share of curriculum expansion and research funding they have been undermined and, frankly, overtaken, by the heavy-hand of progressive “educators,” taught to revere Marxist government while shunning classical disciplines. The legacy of Harvard, Princeton, and Yale, established to train generations of preachers and teachers, has been replaced by secular studies that eschew these colleges’ Christian roots. Individual bequests and endowments that reflected the institutions’ policies were, at one time, the funding standard for construction, curriculum development, and research projects
One of the most important insights of public policy is the understanding that most laws are predicated upon a (stated or unstated) quid pro quo. Take, for example, the roiling monthslong debate about President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement agenda. Prior to the media uproar over the much-ballyhooed MS-13-tied "Maryland man," the since-deported Salvadoran national Kilmar Abrego Garcia, there was a similar hullabaloo surrounding the arrest and initiation of removal proceedings against Mahmoud Khalil, the green card-holding Hamas sympathizer at Columbia University.
Death row inmates granted clemency by former President Joe Biden sued the Trump administration on Wednesday for ordering their incarceration under the most “oppressive conditions” available. President Donald Trump issued an executive order on his first day in office that directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to ensure 37 death row inmates were “imprisoned in conditions consistent with the monstrosity of their crimes and the threats they pose,” which the lawsuit alleges is unconstitutional...
A star academic behind an influential but unsound study arguing that black infants die more often with white doctors has for years been privately beleaguered by plagiarism charges from her own subordinates and will soon depart her university, leaving the multimillion-dollar antiracism center she founded in jeopardy. University of Minnesota Prof. Rachel Hardeman’s rise to academic superstardom in the wake of the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis included major media coverage of her research on racial bias and maternal and infant mortality, a tenured position, and recognition as one of Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people.
CNN host Jessica Dean asked Democratic California Rep. Ro Khanna on Tuesday whether former President Joe Biden delivering a public speech for the first time since leaving office would actually help his party. Biden is slated for a Tuesday evening speech in Chicago that will cover the significance of Social Security, according to The Washington Post. Khanna, on “CNN News Central,” declined to answer whether Biden’s speech would be “helpful,” but expressed hope that the former president would advocate “for due process of the law” and pivoted to criticize President Donald Trump’s administration for deporting alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia.
Dr. Mae Jemison, a former National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) astronaut, derailed an interview with CBS host Vladimir Duthiers on Monday after he used the word “mankind.” Duthiers asked Jemison to explain why Blue Origin’s eleventh space tourism launch, which carried several celebrities, benefited “mankind,” which prompted the former astronaut to demand that he say “humankind” instead. Duthiers could be heard apologizing during the interview for using a commonly used term and corrected himself to say “humankind.”
A new photo of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s (D-Mich.) surprise visit to the Oval Office emerged in a Saturday New York Times report showcasing the lawmaker covering her face while President Trump spoke to the press. The Michigan Democrat said she was unexpectedly whisked into the room for the president’s order signing on Wednesday ahead of a scheduled closed door meeting. The two were set to discuss tariffs and opportunities to invest in Michigan’s defense assets, including the Selfridge Air National Guard Base. “The governor was surprised that she was brought into the Oval Office during President Trump’s press conference without any notice of the subject matter,” ...
Let’s get one thing straight: Jasmine Crockett isn’t ‘ghetto.’ She’s not from ‘the streets.’ She’s not the hood-savvy voice of the everyday black American struggling to survive in an America where Democrats have failed them. No, Jasmine Crockett is a fraud. And what’s worse? She’s a carefully packaged fraud, hand-picked and propped up by the Democratic Party to sell one of the most insidious lies of all: that this caricature of blackness — loud, ratchet, grammatically incorrect — is somehow authentic. Let me be clear: the problem isn’t that Jasmine Crockett is educated....

The Catholic Church has issued a warning to its clergy in Washington state: Any priest who complies with a new law requiring the reporting of child abuse confessions to authorities will be excommunicated.
The new law, which will take effect on July 27, eliminates the long-standing confidentiality of the confessional, forcing Catholic leaders and lawmakers into a highly charged standoff over religious liberty and child protection.
However, the Archdiocese of Seattle and several bishops argue that the law not only contravenes church doctrine but crosses constitutional lines, while supporters maintain it is a crucial step to protect minors from abuse.

It’s a sad day in America when the chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court ignores the basic framework of the Constitution he’s supposed to interpret.
That’s what happened on Wednesday, when Chief Justice John Roberts took it upon himself to subtly thumb his nose at President Trump and conservatives (snip) … the judiciary is a co-equal branch of government, separate from the others, with the authority to interpret the Constitution as law and strike down, obviously, acts of Congress or acts of the president. That innovation doesn’t work if … the judiciary’s not independent. Its job is to, obviously, decide cases, but in the course of that, check the excesses

illegal immigrants to book 'free flights

Donald Trump has signed a new executive order launching what he called the “first ever self-deportation programme,” allowing undocumented immigrants to leave the United States at no cost, with flights booked via a new government-backed app.
In a video posted on Truth Social, the president said: “Today I signed an executive order to launch the first ever self-deportation program for illegal aliens. We are making it as easy as possible for illegal aliens to leave America. Any illegal alien can simply show up at an airport and receive a free flight out of our country.”
In George Floyd: did a police administrator commit perjury? I wrote of the probability Minneapolis Assistant Police Chief Katie Blackwell committed perjury to ensure former MPD officer Derek Chauvin’s conviction in the self-inflicted death of George Floyd. I wrote in part:
Fourteen current and former police officers with the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) have signed sworn declarations [snip] say they believe Blackwell perjured herself when she testified in court that the restraint method Chauvin used to subdue George Floyd in May 2020 was not a part of MPD officer training. In that trial, Chauvin was found guilty of second-degree unintentional murder[snip]

Less than 48 hours after rolling out a fact-checking website designed to target "right-wing misinformation," California Governor Gavin Newsom was caught using stock footage from Ukraine and Estonia in an ad promoting his state's economy.
The ad, released initially on X and set to run on “Fox and Friends” this weekend, criticizes President Donald Trump’s tariffs while touting California's supposed economic strength.
An overly excited Newsom, however, shared it with his followers on X first. Viewers quickly pointed out that the ad, meant to show the greatness of the Golden State, contained stock footage from a pair of European countries.

Earlier on Friday, a group of New Jersey Democrat representatives and the mayor of Newark, NJ, were taking part in a protest outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility in Newark when, as my colleague Ward Clark wrote, things went completely sideways: Clark added that the mayor of Newark, Ras Baraka, "was even more egregious; he tried to make his way inside and ignored the warning from ICE officials to leave." Baraka was promptly arrested by authorities. You'd think Democrats would take a hint to lay off beclowning themselves on the behalf of criminals and gang members,
Three teenagers allegedly kidnapped a wealthy man at gunpoint and drove him to a remote Arizona desert to steal $4 million in cryptocurrency in a sinister plot. Austin Fletcher and Belal Ashraf, both 16 and from Pasco County, Florida, allegedly teamed up with a third, as-yet-unidentified teenager to target the victim, who has remained anonymous. Prosecutors said at Fletcher's probable cause hearing on Friday that the third teenager is no longer in the United States. It is not clear if authorities know where they are or if they plan to extradite them.

In 2014, Marine veteran J.J. Hanson was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer and given four months left to live. Around the four-month mark of his diagnosis, “Hanson had plunged into a deep depression,” according to the Times Union. He lost his ability to read, write, talk and walk and was suffering seizures.
Miraculously, experimental treatment and surgery gave Hanson an additional three years of life, during which he and his wife welcomed two sons. But had Hanson have had access to lethal prescriptions to end his own life during those first few months — he may have taken them, so says his wife Kristen.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) and DNC Vice Chair Malcolm Kenyatta joined SiriusXM Urban View hosts Clay Cane and Reecie Colbert this week for a town hall discussion about the future of the Democratic Party and, in a promotional clip, she told them the party is eyeing a safe “white boy” candidate for 2028. (Snip) So far. And I think that that’s a natural fear because we just want to win. So there’s a lot of people that are like, you know what? Like, let’s go find the safest white boy we can find.

Settlement from Google for Privacy Violations 11 replies
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has won a $1.375 billion settlement from Google as a result of the state suing the tech company for continued privacy violations. [Press Release Here] In 2022, Attorney General Paxton sued Google for unlawfully tracking and collecting users’ private data regarding geolocation, incognito searches, and biometric data. After years of aggressive litigation, Attorney General Paxton agreed to settle Texas’s data-privacy claims against Google for an amount that far surpasses any other state’s claims for similar violations.
To date, no state has attained a settlement against Google for similar data-privacy violations greater than $93 million. Even a multistate coalition that included forty states secured just $391 million—
Oghenochuko Ojiri, who regularly appeared as an art expert on the popular BBC series “Bargain Hunt,” pleaded guilty to helping finance the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.
Ojiri made the stunning admission on Friday during a hearing at Westminster Magistrates’ Court in London, according to BBC News. He pleaded guilty to eight counts of failing to disclose potential terrorist financing.
Hezbollah, which is backed by Iran, is designated as a terrorist group by both the US and the UK. The embattled “Bargain Hunt” star reportedly admitted that he had helped fund the group by selling artwork to Nazem Ahmad,
