is Just More Propaganda

When President Trump reached the 100 day mark in this his second term, Fake News Media and their counterparts in the Democrat Party went into overdrive pushing the narrative that Trump is the most “unpopular President” ever. These claims were based on selected public opinion polls. The polls were misinformation and, sadly, this was not the first time bad polling was used to push a leftist narrative. In the “age of Trump” public opinion polling from the many of the prominent legacy media polling outfits is slanted heavily toward Democrats and the left. The results repeatedly favor the Democrats and leftists causes.

This has been going on forever. There's always an oversampling of democrats in mainstream polls. Why? I've never been given a good answer.

dim media Psy Ops A business which expects repeat customers will provide a product satisfactory to the client. Why would pollsters be any different? And internal poll results (CNN) are a given. As Limbaugh used to caution - polls are used to influence. Only valid election results can measure a poll's accuracy

One would think that the pollsters would have embarrassed themselves out of business after being wrong on everything during the last year of the Vegetable Presidency. Then they were forced into trying to tell us that an airhead who had never done an honest day's work in her life was the final humiliation.

How I miss the man who managed to get his point across with civility, biting sarcasm, humor and pithy observations. Remember this? "The polls are just being used as another tool of voter suppression. The polls are an attempt to not reflect public opinion, but to shape it. Yours. They want to depress the heck out of you." Rush Limbaugh

Let's not forget the infamous poll of Iowa just days before the election: Kamalala 47 Trump 44. Actual results were Trump 56 Kamalala 43. It's almost impossible to be wrong by that much.

Yeah, not just the 'era of Trump'... unless maybe you are counting from when he was born. I was in the business for a few years back in the 1980s... to make a long story short.... I haven't trusted ANY poll since then. I had to fight my bosses and co-workers, in a few different companies, every step of the way, trying to insure that the poll was an honest and accurate one.

These leftist polls are all lies. They sit around a boardroom table and decide on what numbers to put out to try and shape public opinion, always anti Trump. I’m not even sure they actually sample anyone anymore. Look at how Jake Tapper has now admitted to lying about Biden. All these media do is lie. That’s who they are.

Never trust polls - as stated, they are meant to FORM opinion, rather than reflect it. To the extent it does reflect opinions - they tend to ask it of those who are ill-informed or so self-centered, it reflects only the myopic views of the eternally disgruntled, cherry-picked to get the preordained results.

Every time a leftist judge issues any ruling against the Trump Administration, the Fake News Media hyperventilates reporting about it. Yet, when the Trump Administration prevails in federal court, even when leftist district judges get rebuked by higher courts, the Fake News Media’s reporting is much more subdued. Team Trump notched several more court victories of late. I wrote about several of these victories in previous articles. Here are a couple more.

While the number of the (often frivolous) legal challenges filed against the Trump Administration is utterly ridiculous, the Fake News Media says very little about the Trump Administration’s victories, while rulings against the Trump Administrationg are relentlessly reported. In this article, I will shine some light on a few more of the Trump Administration’s important legal victories. Among the recent victories are cases involving Refugee Resettlement, efforts to dox (obtain the identities) of DOGE personnel and efforts to block DOGE personnel from working on the dismantling of the rogue agency USAID.

The massive amount of orchestrated legal attacks against the Trump Administration is unprecedented. The litigation tracker by the law and policy journal Just Security tags the number of cases against the Trump Administration at 112. The sheer volume of the cases, the speed at which the cases develop, and the oftentimes inaccurate media reports about those developments, make staying abreast of the cases a daunting task. As I waded into these cases, one issue I noticed is a lack of reporting on the Trump Administration’s wins. In this article, I will address a couple of the Trump Administration’s victories in the ongoing lawfare battles.

European Parliament members, including Branko Grims, recently nominated Elon Musk for the Nobel Peace Prize. Legacy media reported on the nomination as you probably heard. Elon Musk is a worthy candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize, though he apparently does not want any prizes. I will briefly provide some background on Nobel Prizes in general, the Nobel Peace Prize in particular and outline the reasons why Elon Musk should win the award.

The outgoing Biden Regime undermined the American Middle Class for the last four years with one misguided policy after another. As the final days of the Biden Regime run out, I plan to write a few articles detailing some of these policies. In this article, I outline some of the Biden Regime’s efforts to devalue homes owned by suburban Americans. Readers will be quickly reminded the end of Joseph R. Biden’s Presidency cannot come soon enough.

New Jersey rocker Bruce Springsteen, who campaigned for Kamala Harris in 2024 and for every Democrat presidential nominee since John Kerry, had an epic show-long meltdown at the opening concert for his European tour in Manchester, England, Wednesday night over President Donald Trump’s triumphant return to the presidency. Springsteen called Trump and his administration, “corrupt, incompetent and treasonous,” and an “unfit president and a rogue government,” among many criticisms. Not a word by Springsteen about Trump working to bring good paying blue collar jobs back to America for the people whom Springsteen has made a career out of channeling their economic woes,
Walmart to Raise Prices Because of Tariffs 23 replies

Walmart said Thursday it plans to raise prices on some goods beginning later this month, in response to President Trump’s tariffs. “We will do our best to keep our prices as low as possible but given the magnitude of the tariffs, even at the reduced levels announced this week, we aren’t able to absorb all the pressure given the reality of narrow retail margins,” Walmart CEO Doug McMillon is expected to say during a Thursday earnings call, according to prepared remarks obtained by several media outlets. The U.S. and China agreed earlier this week to lower their respective reciprocal tariffs for 90 days as they look to end a bruising trade war

Did former FBI Director James Comey call for the assassination of President Trump? James Comey posted a cryptic message to his Instagram account on Thursday spelled out in seashells: “86 47” “Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” Comey said in his caption. [Instagram] Some interpreted Comey’s cryptic message as a serious threat. [Tweets] It is no secret that James Comey despises President Trump. Comey was fired as FBI Director by Trump in 2017 while he was leading an investigation into the president during his first term. Shortly after the firing, it was revealed that James Comey penned several memos stemming from nine confidential conversations he had with President Trump.

On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “AC360,” Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe defended the church’s migration service refusing to resettle new migrants from South Africa and stated that “if you look at this decision, this is really about people who have jumped the line.” Rowe said, “[L]ook at the thousands of people fleeing war and violence, people who are waking up dead around the world, people who have helped our military that are being left in camps on a daily basis while white Afrikaners have been fast-tracked. You’re right. It is about need. And if you look at this decision, this is really about people who have jumped the line.

The Secret Service is investigating after ex-FBI Director James Comey posted an Instagram photo of seashells arranged to make the numbers "86 47" — a message that White House officials swiftly condemned as an attempt to put out a "hit" against the 47th president. Comey later deleted the post after online backlash from government officials, lawmakers and President Donald Trump’s son. Trump has faced two assassination attempts — one of which resulted in him being shot and a bystander being killed — in the past year. The post including the alleged "hit" showed the numbers in question etched into the sand at a beach using seashells.
Biden's Autopen Pardons May Just Get Invalidated 14 replies

Ed Martin, the new DOJ pardon attorney and head of the Weaponization Working Group, isn’t wasting time. This week, he announced a review of the shady “autopen” pardons Joe Biden’s team rushed through in its final days. “These deserve some scrutiny,” he said. That’s an understatement. As PJ Media has previously reported, Biden’s White House frequently used an autopen to sign executive orders and pardons, which raised serious doubts as to whether Biden was even involved in the process. In March, the Oversight Project dropped a bombshell memo detailing 32 instances where the Biden White House used an autopen to sign off on clemency warrants —

As we reported, the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, fired two officials on the National Intelligence Council: Mike Collins, the acting chair of the National Intelligence Council, and his deputy, Maria Langan-Riekhof, according to senior intelligence officials. Gabbard also moved the agency under her office so she could block any "politicization of intelligence." The execrable former CIA head John Brennan had a meltdown when he was asked by MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace about the situation. Look at how angry he is and the wild blinking. "This whole thing just makes me livid," he ranted.

The Los Angeles City Council voted Wednesday to approve a sweeping package of minimum wage increases for workers in the tourism industry, despite objections from business leaders who warned that the region is already facing a slowdown in international travel. The proposal, billed by labor leaders as the highest minimum wage in the country, would require hotels with more than 60 rooms, as well as companies doing business at Los Angeles International Airport, to pay their workers $30 per hour by 2028. That translates to a 48% hike in the minimum wage for hotel employees over three years. Airport workers

A 15-year-old illegal immigrant who killed a Colorado drug rehab worker in a high-speed crash in a residential neighborhood was given a slap on the wrist by a Democratic prosecutor, endorsed by several prominent party members. The juvenile Colombian national, who cannot be named due to state law, was sentenced to two years of probation and 100 hours of community service for the July 2024 death of Kaitlyn Weaver. Arapahoe County District Attorney Amy Padden offered the teen the plea deal if he admitted guilt in the deadly crash, promised to attend school and not break any more laws, CBS News Colorado reported.

Not long after Michelino Sunseri, a professional mountain runner, finished a race across Grand Teton last fall, he found himself on the receiving end of a Justice Department criminal charge. His offense? Running on a closed trail, for which he could end up serving six months in jail. We are not making this up. Last Friday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order designed to prevent such gross abuses. It is one of the most important – and underappreciated – actions he’s taken. The “crime” Sunseri committed wasn’t a federal law passed by Congress. It was a crime invented by the National Park Service – one of some 300,000
Embattled House Dem Drops Trump Impeachment

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.”

In 2023, Germany shuttered its last nuclear plant, and in 2024, wind energy became the nation’s largest single source of electricity, supplying 31.9%. But now it’s 2025, and as the staff at Remix News reported yesterday, “Germany’s wind lull is slamming electricity production” and creating losses in the millions. Here’s the story: Germany: Wind power firms face millions in losses as wind speed drops to 50-year low The wind speed average has dropped below less than 5.5 meters per second in the first quarter of 2025, according to [the] German Meteorological Service (DWD).
