President Joe Biden's job approval rating is 19 points underwater, his ratings for lhandling the economy and immigration are at career lows. A record number of Americans say they've become worse off under his presidency, three-quarters say he's too old for another term and Donald Trump is looking better in retrospect -- all severe challenges for Biden in his reelection campaign ahead.Forty-four percent of Americans in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll say they've gotten worse off financially under Biden's presidency, the most for any president in ABC/Post polls since 1986. Just 37% approve of his job performance, while 56% disapprove.

The only reason that I can imagine that ABC actually published this is that it’s part of the effort to dump Xiden for 2024.

Either sloppy reporting, lazy polling, or fake reporting... But if ABC/WP = 10 and ABC = 9, it looks like WP = 1, and it implies WP is for Trump. Leftist math can be surreal.

If there was any honest media polling, everyone with a brain knows the results would be Trump 65% - Xiden 28%. Yeah, I figure 28% is just about right for the number of hardcore, braindead, commie lovin' "Americans" taking up space in our country.

While this news may be a morale booster, take nothing for granted and work like Trump is 20 points behind. Democrats believe they can steal it all again and the only thing that will stop them is a massive number of voters coming out and voting Trump.

There’s no way I believe that “poll” or any polls showing such a close race. Pollsters have been proven to select people they KNOW will give them the answer they want, they’ve been known to skew the data and misrepresent findings. And they expect us to believe that nearly half the country still likes O’Biden??! Anyone who believes this is an idiot.

Buried in the article is this: "Trump-Biden results are essentially identical among those who report being registered to vote, 52-42%" It used to be thought that registered voters favored Democrats over "likely" voters. If so, this is a terrible statistic for the Democrats. Maybe they shouldn't harvest any ballots from registered but not likely voters.

The only reason Democrat propagandists like ABC reports would such numbers is there is a growing group of Democrats who want Biden out and Newsome/Michelle in. If it's still Biden by election time, their "polls" will show a close race in order to cover for the massive vote fraud that will put any Democrat running into the White House.

Andy Kim is trying to do something rare in New Jersey politics: win by casting himself as a soft-spoken outsider. In a state known for its brass-knuckle campaign tactics, its machine-dominated politics and no shortage of characters tainted by dubious ethics or outright corruption, he’s betting voters will see his run for Senate as something entirely new. “I get it, I’m not central casting of what someone imagines a New Jersey Democrat or politician looking like,” Kim said in an interview with POLITICO. “That’s what I thought would be my biggest weakness, but it’s actually turned out to be my biggest strength.”

One of the textbook marketing flops of all time was the Ford Edsel sedan, which was heralded as the hot new car in the late 1950s. All the automotive experts and Ford executives said it was a can't-miss. Henry Ford (the car was named after his son) guaranteed hundreds of thousands of sales.But one big thing went wrong: Nobody ever bothered to ask car buyers what they thought of the new car. As it turned out, they hated it. So instead of sales of 400,000, Americans bought 10,000, and the model was embarrassingly discontinued. The obvious lesson for the industry:

There’s another front on Israel’s war with Hamas that most don’t see but is no less real, dangerous, and must be defeated. There’s no secret that since its own bloody revolution in 1979, the Iranian Islamist regime has called for the destruction of Israel. As a child growing up in Iran, I remember countless times being forced to participate along with hundreds and thousands of other children, all over the county, chanting “Death to Israel” and “Death to America.”

Intelligence Failures - Again 5 replies
Posted by Mercedes44 10/20/2023 10:16:31 AM Post Reply
The failure of the U.S. intelligence community has three components: 1) It has become politically charged and lost focus on its mission protecting Americans, instead engaging in partisan politics. 2) It continues to focus on technological intelligence collection rather than the difficult and risky world of human intelligence collection. 3) It continues to suffer from a lack of creativity in anticipating and understanding the new threats being developed by our enemies.There is little doubt that the Intelligence Community has become seriously politicized. In 2016-2017, its leaders and the FBI undermined the incoming President Donald Trump by raising the specter of Russian influence over Trump.

There have been two kinds of conspiracy theories circulated by 'truthers' after the Hamas massacre of Israelis. The first kind essentially denies there was an attack or nitpicks the details. Those arguments are made in obvious bad faith by people who simply hate Israel and side with the terrorists. Any evidence presented to them is dismissed as fake. The second kind of conspiracy theory is of the "inside job" variety most often involving a "stand down" order that allowed Hamas to massacre over 1,000 people without any military intervention.

Thanks to support from Iran, Hamas is fairly well-armed and, of course, it makes up in viciousness what it lacks in technical sophistication. However, Hamas’s greatest weapon is propaganda. In the latest conflagration, it engaged in a single orgy of killing. Now, though, it’s looking forward to weeks of anti-Israel propaganda that the world’s media will unhesitatingly accept and relay. The latest example is Hamas’s claim that Israel killed 900 innocent people in a Gaza hospital. The story was almost instantly debunked but don’t expect that to change the narrative.

Daniel Noboa has managed to do what his father failed at five times: Getting elected as Ecuador’s president. And he did it Sunday on his first attempt, winning a runoff election against a leftist lawyer on the resume of a 35-year-old who belongs to the South American country’s elite, which means some schooling in the U.S., some entrepreneurial work, some dabbling in politics. Now, he must answer the universal demand to make Ecuador safe again, which voters urged on all the candidates who originally jumped into the race amid a surge in unprecedented violence tied to drug trafficking.

America's renters -- more than one-third of the nation's households -- are in for trouble. Left-wing politicians are demanding rent regulation from coast to coast. Wherever it is adopted, the result will be a disastrous reduction in the rental housing supply, leaving renters desperate for places to live.New York City is the poster child for the failures of rent regulation. The U.S. Supreme Court is currently mulling a challenge to the constitutionality of the city's rent regime. Whatever the justices decide, the public needs to consider less destructive, more targeted ways to help low-income people pay for housing. The court of public opinion needs to consider these facts.

What dominates the mass media is often fleeting importance for the enduring political landscape. Nevertheless, some events can harbinger momentous changes despite their initial ordinary nature. A particularly telling example was the initial shift of small number of White Southern Democrats into the Republican Party in 1964, a little-noticed event that foretold the shift of nearly all Southern Whites into the GOP. Such shifts are tectonic insofar as they may eventually fundamentally change the political landscape. We may now be experiencing a tectonic shift of major magnitude, namely the exodus of Jews from liberalism.
