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.

Watch Video Of Country’s Leaders Calling
For Genocide 19 replies
President Donald Trump forced the President of the Republic of South Africa to watch videos of the country’s leaders calling for the genocide of white farmers during a meeting in the Oval Office on Wednesday. South African president Cyril Ramaphosa visited Trump for a bilateral meeting as well as a private lunch. In the middle of their public conversation, Trump ordered his staff to dim the lights and play videos of “genocide in South Africa” for attendees of the meeting. The video montage showed different clips of political leaders from the minority party in South Africa calling for killing the Boers...
Secretary of State Marco Rubio clashed with Hillary Clinton’s former running mate Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia Tuesday over the Trump administration’s decision to declare Afrikaner farmers as refugees. The Trump administration granted refugee status to the white South African farmers in a Feb. 7 executive order issued by President Donald Trump. During a hearing held by the Senate Appropriations Committee’s Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs, Kaine questioned Rubio about the decision.
Democratic Congresswoman LaMonica McIver of New Jersey is being charged with assault after a confrontation with officers outside an immigration detention centre. Alina Habba - the interim US attorney for the state and an ally of President Donald Trump - announced the charges in a social media post late on Monday. Habba also said that her office would be dropping a trespassing case against the mayor of Newark, Ras Baraka, who is another Democratic politician. Scuffles broke out when McIver, Baraka and others paid an oversight visit to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) centre in Newark on 9 May. No injuries were reported.
President Donald Trump suggested on Monday that there may be a larger conspiracy at work following former President Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis. Trump addressed Biden’s stage four prostate cancer diagnosis while in the Oval Office, calling the situation “very sad.” The president added that people should look into how Biden’s cancer developed into a dangerous situation with no earlier detection. “If it’s the same doctor who said there was nothing wrong there, that’s being proven to be a sad situation,” Trump told reporters.
Former President Joe Biden received a diagnosis of prostate cancer on Friday, according to a Sunday announcement by his personal office. The statement characterizes the cancer Biden has as “a more aggressive form of the disease” that has metastasized to the bone, but the statement adds that it can be effectively managed. The diagnosis follows renewed scrutiny on Biden’s physical and mental decline, along with its cover-up, ahead of the release of a book on the subject titled “Original Sin” by CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson.
Former Democratic Rep. Beto O’Rourke said former President Joe Biden “failed this country” by seeking reelection in 2024.
Speaking on the Pod Save America podcast, O’Rourke said, “We might very well lose the greatest country that this world has ever known,” he said, blasting Biden for clinging to power and ignoring widespread voter dissatisfaction. “It’s not just you and me, but our kids and grandkids… who might have to pay the price for this.”
Democratic California Rep. Ro Khanna said he wants “to be part of the national conversation” for 2028 when asked whether he plans to run for president. NewsNation contributor Chris Cillizza and Daily Caller Senior Editor Amber Duke interviewed Khanna on The Hill’s news show “Rising” on Friday. They addressed Khanna’s support for President Donald Trump’s executive order aimed at lowering drug prices, and Cillizza asked him directly whether he was considering a 2028 presidential run.
Clementine Ford, a left-wing feminist activist, could not answer Piers Morgan’s question of what a woman is during Friday’s episode of “Piers Morgan Uncensored.” When asked to define the term “woman,” Ford reluctantly answered that a woman is somebody who has been afraid of a man at any point in their life. Morgan called Ford and other pro-transgender activists out for being unable to acknowledge the negative consequences women have faced as a result of men entering their spaces and competing against them in sports.
CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten said Friday that President Donald Trump’s approval ratings are unexpectedly soaring once again after having slipped in the previous month. As recession fears wane, Trump’s approval rating jumped from -8 points on April 21 to -1 point as of Tuesday, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found. The president’s net approval rating has also risen from -9 points in late April to its current -6 points, according to Enten’s aggregate polling.
Democratic Michigan Rep. Shri Thanedar dropped his ill-fated effort to force the House to vote on his impeachment resolution against President Donald Trump following widespread pressure from Democrats to stand down. Thanedar, an embattled two-term lawmaker facing a primary challenge from the left, filed a privileged resolution Tuesday that would have forced House Democrats to vote on seven articles of impeachment brought against the president. Thanedar’s decision to cave to House Democratic leadership and not trigger a vote Wednesday, comes as Democrats viewed his impeachment effort as a distraction from the conference’s united opposition against the president’s “one big, beautiful bill.”
A Seattle man travelled more than 60 miles to find help after falling 400ft off a mountain in an accident that killed his three companions. Authories say the protective equipment used by the group failed on Saturday in the northern Cascade mountain range, in an area called the Early Winter Spires. Officials say the group of four mountain climbers were abseiling down a steep gully after deciding to turn back due to an incoming storm. Connected to each other by ropes, the group fell about 200ft (60m) through the air, before tumbling another 200ft over rocks, dirt and snow.

Canada is conducting "high level" talks with the United States over joining President Donald Trump's proposed "Golden Dome" missile defense program, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Wednesday.
Trump announced his plans the previous day to develop the multilayered, $175 billion (€155 billion) system with ground- and space-based capabilities that can defend against a wide range of enemy weapons, like drones, hypersonic and cruise missiles, and intercontinental ballistic missiles.
The US President said he expected the missile shield to be ready by the end of his second term in 2029.

Tornado Alarm 25 replies
I have no idea how to comprehend this act of incompetence. Last Friday, severe storms rolled into St. Louis. A tornado touched down and struck the northern part of the city—and there were no warning sirens. The tornado alarm system was never activated. It wasn’t due to a computer glitch. It was human error: the emergency management director, Sarah Russell, essentially forgot to turn it on, but it gets worse: the staff wasn’t even in the office. Russell contacted the fire department to initiate the system, but this was a shambolic failure
In the last two and a half years, eight sitting members of the House or Senate have died in office. Every time, it's been a Democrat. Rep. Gerry Connolly of Virginia, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, died on Wednesday at 75, after a battle with esophageal cancer. He's the third House Democrat to die in the last three months. If Democrats had gained a narrow 1 or 2-seat majority in 2024, they would have lost it by now. The streak of Democratic deaths could just be something of a coincidence. After all, there are plenty of elderly
On Thursday’s “Alex Marlow Show,” Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) talked about wasteful spending on government credit cards.
Ernst said, “[T]he federal government, through GSA credit cards, has 4.6 million active credit cards and accounts…we have a little less than half that number in federal employees.” She added that “a lot” of card usage occurs during federal holidays and on days like New Year’s Eve at “nightclubs, bars” and on “Sunday afternoons, okay, a big UFC fight or something pay-per-view.” And there are also cash withdrawals at casino ATMs.
Ernst further stated that about 500,000 cards have now been canceled.
Judge Jeanine Pirro has only been in the role of U.S. Attorney for D.C. since May 14, but already she’s faced with a serious tragedy after the horrific assassinations of a young couple outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. Thursday night by a crazed antisemite.
As we’ve reported, Elias Rodriguez flew in from his hometown of Chicago, ambushed Israeli Embassy staffers Yaron Lischinsky (30) and Sarah Lynn Milgrim (26), and fired 21 rounds even as Milgrim tried to crawl away in terror.
The two were reportedly set to get engaged next week. It’s an almost unimaginable crime.
On Thursday, Pirro announced that Rodriguez may pay the ultimate penalty
Ed Martin’s nomination to serve as DC Attorney was nuked by Republican Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC). He was in office on an interim basis. Trump selected Jeanine Pirro to replace Martin, who is now a pardon attorney and helming the Department of Justice’s weaponization task force. Martin is looking at Biden’s pardons, specifically the ones issued toward the end of his presidency. They might not be legal. It comes off allegations that Biden aides might have illegally used the autopen. President Trump has asked who was behind the autopen since it’s become clear that Joe Biden was not mentally cogent enough to know what was going on (via The Hill):
Earlier this week, I made the case that Dr. Kevin O’Connor — Joe Biden’s longtime physician and former White House doctor — should be called to testify before Congress about his role in the cover-up of Biden’s obvious cognitive decline and now his cancer diagnosis. A growing number of medical experts agree that Biden’s condition didn’t just appear out of nowhere; it was likely known about for years. And now, we may finally be seeing the walls start to close in.
On Thursday, House Oversight Chairman James Comer ramped up his investigation into the deliberate and coordinated cover-up, not just of Biden’s mental and physical deterioration,
Imagine a kindergarten talent show where every child is handed a microphone, told they’re brilliant, and encouraged to scream whatever they feel. Facts are optional, and tantrums are welcome. Now replace those toddlers with embittered semi-celebrities clinging to cultural relevance, amplify their egos with national airtime, and broadcast it five days a week. That’s The View. What once was pitched as a platform for intelligent dialogue has morphed into a bitter cocktail of rage, identity politics, and intellectual laziness. Once known for its various voices, The View has devolved into a soapbox for those who believe their outrage is a virtue.
WASHINGTON – A federal judge on Thursday temporarily reinstated hundreds of Education Department workers laid off by the Trump administration and blocked the president's executive order attempting to dismantle the decades-old agency.
District Court Judge Myong J. Joun, a Biden appointee in Boston, said the White House's decision to fire more than 1,300 workers in March has prevented the federal government from effectively implementing legally required programs and services.
Only 8 Republican Mayors Left

In April, there were 9 Republican mayors in America’s 50 biggest cities. In May, that number fell to 8. Democrats are celebrating Omaha’s mayoral election win as proof that Republicans are out of step with America, when it’s really evidence how the nation’s cities have fallen out of step with America. There was a time when America’s cities were symbols of progress, but they have long since become sinkholes of decline, clinging to a handful of industries that employ a tiny fraction of their population as evidence of their relevance.

The real nakba [catastrophe, for Palestinians] was that they started a war and lost it. Well, if you start a war, that is what can happen.
The Trump administration should beware of countries where the mouth says one thing but the legs do the opposite. Believe the legs. The Iranians and Palestinians have not given up their dream of eliminating Israel and America.
Iran's leaders do the same thing. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian reassures Americans that "We are not seeking war, we favor negotiation and dialogue." Meanwhile, Khamenei calls for the elimination of the "Zionist regime" and endorses "Death to America."
