The debate still rages among the GOP faithful, journalists, spin doctors, and talking heads: Who should be Donald Trump’s running mate? The question is especially valid since the former president stands convicted of 34 felonies in a highly controversial trial whose verdicts could be overturned. Will Trump’s pick be a surprise? I&I/TIPP Poll. The May national online I&I/TIPP Poll asked Republican voters to reveal their first and second choices to be Trump’s No. 2.

It should be Ron De Santis. The governor made a huge blunder - - allowing his ambition-crazed wife to talk him into running against President Trump. But - - he's been a terrific governor and he would make a very good president. And for those of you who don't really understand the Constitution - - the drawback of having two candidates from Florida - - would be that Florida's electors could not vote for De Santis as VP. Which means - - if the election were very tight - - there's a slight chance that KamaLOL could become President Trump's VP! The chance of that happening is so slim - - that it can be safely ignored. De Santis for VP.

President Trump can do without my advice. I'm just a cheerleader on the sidelines. I don't make the plays.

With Trump registered as living in Florida I would think that would disqualify De Santis and Tim Scott.

Have *Any* Jobs Been Created Under Biden? 12 replies

President Joe Biden loves to brag about the stellar job growth on his watch. He was at it again Friday after the government reported 272,000 jobs were created in May, beating economists’ expectations by a wide margin. “The great American comeback continues,” Biden enthused. “On my watch, 15.6 million more Americans have the dignity and respect that comes with a job.” But this “great jobs news” is entirely a fiction. The truth is that the job growth under Biden is much closer to zero than it is to 15.6 million. Let’s break it down.
Shades Of Nixon: Biden Refuses To Turn
Over Potentially Devastating Tapes

Almost exactly 50 years ago, the Supreme Court ordered President Richard Nixon to turn over White House tapes that he had refused to release for nearly a year, citing executive privilege. On July 24, 1974, the court unanimously rejected Nixon’s executive privilege claim. Sixteen days later, Nixon resigned. Fast forward to this year, and President Joe Biden is refusing to release tapes of his interviews with Special Counsel Robert Hur about his handling of classified documents, citing, as Nixon did, executive privilege, with an added twist about the risk of “deep fakes.” Biden is, in fact, so determined to keep the tapes secret

Conservative commentators’ red carpets are rolled out for independent presidential candidate Bobby Kennedy Jr., whose name recognition is off the scale thanks to the accident of his birth. But whether Glenn Beck, Megyn Kelly, Ben Shapiro, and others who have loaned him their microphones of late, wanted to experience a little glow from the relics of Camelot or, more likely, sought to shift votes away from President Joe Biden, it is very clear this election year that hyping RFK Jr. in any way is something no one on the side of freedom in America should be doing. The son of President John F. Kennedy’s brother

Just the News has an online poll asking readers if they “think Fauci will be prosecuted for his handling of the pandemic.” Almost 80% say no, fewer than a fifth say yes. Only 3% are unsure. We hope that overwhelming majority is wrong. Anthony Fauci, a man with an impressive title that demands a respect he doesn’t deserve, should be put in the dock. His response to the coronavirus pandemic was criminal. T​​he former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases was back in front of Congress Monday, testifying before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. It was naturally a contentious affair.

If you want to know just how much leftist elites despise everyday Americans, watch how they respond to polls – including the latest I&I /TIPP Poll – showing Donald Trump still ahead of Joe Biden after being convicted of … what were the crimes Trump committed again? Even before last week’s verdicts, corporate media types, Democrats, and the cadre of self-aggrandizing never-Trumpers were struggling to understand how Trump – the man who they all agree is an existential threat to the country – could possibly be polling better than Joe Biden. Up until now, they’d managed to disguise their disdain for us plebeians

Three grisly, gut-wrenching reports starkly contrast the sanity the world has long left behind and the Through-the-Looking-Glass unreality it inhabits today. The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) issued two separate announcements relating to its discovery of the bodies of seven Hamas hostages, all apparently murdered during their abduction on Oct. 7. Separately, families released video of the capture and brutal treatment that day of five bound, bloodied and bruised female IDF soldiers, with kidnappers suggesting they will be subject to violence and sexual assault. One woman’s father indicated the release was a “wakeup call to the world” of their continued captivity and suspected abuse.

The stunning felony conviction of former President Donald Trump garnered headlines around the world and created sharp political arguments across the U.S. But did it affect the presidential race? The answer is yes. It seems to have actually helped Trump, the June I&I/TIPP Poll shows. The poll was taken from Wednesday, May 29, through Friday, May 31. The verdict against Trump in New York state court was rendered on Thursday, May 30. So a significant share of the 1,675 registered voters who took the national online I&I/TIPP Poll actually knew that Trump had been found guilty of 34 felony counts.

The climate alarmists have a long habit of revealing the true motives behind the global warming scare, and of course they have nothing to do with keeping the sky from catching on fire. In the most recent tacit admission, a college professor suggests that the administration sell the climate crisis to black voters by listing all the green energy government handouts they can avail themselves of. In the New York Times piece published over the weekend, Jerel Ezell, a University of California, Berkeley, assistant professor “who studies environmental politics and race,” expressed concern that “politicians often seem to downplay the crisis when courting black communities.”
A Sneaky Way To End Fossil Fuel 8 replies

When candidate Joe Biden promised while on the campaign trail that “we’re going to end fossil fuel,” could anyone have guessed that emptying the nation’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve was part of the plan? Maybe Biden had that in mind all along – enact policies that raise the price of gasoline, dip into the reserves to lower prices for consumers, then finally wring them dry for, putatively, the same reason. That’s one way to get rid of quite a lot of fossil fuel. The federal Strategic Petroleum Reserve is “the world’s largest supply of emergency crude oil,” says the Energy Department. It

Next Tuesday both sides will present their closing arguments in the People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump, a case that exists for one reason only: to stop Trump from ever occupying the White House again. But what if this doesn’t work? What if there’s a hung jury or, worse yet, an acquittal? What if none of the 88 trumped-up felony charges results in a conviction and voters actually have a chance to elect Trump, should they prefer him over the decrepit failure known as Joe Biden?

American college campuses have experienced mass demonstrations and occupations by students and outsiders in recent months following Israel’s powerful response to the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks by the Islamist group Hamas. Do Americans support this? No, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows. Many average Americans expressed shock at the sudden violent, and well-organized, demonstrations and tent cities that sprang up at universities around the nation, largely in support of Hamas and the destruction of Israel. A solid majority of Americans are not happy with this, according to May’s national online I&I/TIPP Poll

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) fears that former President Donald Trump will throw her in jail if he wins the election in November. The Congresswoman voiced her concern to Kara Swisher on her podcast On with Kara Swisher.

President Joe Biden sparked concerns Monday night when he appeared to freeze for the better part of a minute before his speech became slurred past the point of comprehension during a lively Juneteenth celebration at the White House. During the event ahead of the national holiday next week, the Commander-in-Chief seemed to short-circuit as the rest of the crowd, including Vice President Kamala Harris and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, grooved along to the lively band. Philonise Floyd, brother of the late George Floyd, flanked Biden on his left and eventually noticed the concerning pause he was taking and wrapped his arm around him in an apparent effort to help.

Hunter Biden became the first child of a sitting president to be convicted of a crime Tuesday after a federal jury found him guilty of lying about his drug use in order to buy a gun. The panel of six men and six women deliberated for three hours across two days before convicting the 54-year-old of making a false statement in the purchase of a firearm, making a false statement related to information required to be kept by a federally licensed firearms dealer, and possession of a firearm by an unlawful user of or addict to a controlled substance.

Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki claimed on Sunday that former President Donald Trump wasn’t running a 2024 campaign because he wanted to win — rather, she said he was doing it solely because he saw it as a way to keep himself out of prison. Psaki made the comments during Sunday’s broadcast of her MSNBC show “Inside with Jen Psaki,” and she argued that President Joe Biden’s recent speech in Normandy, France — commemorating the 80th anniversary of D-Day — was proof that his values were more aligned with the American people’s values than Trump’s are.

The conventional wisdom concerning vice-presidential picks is that they don’t really matter because voters focus on the top of the ticket in presidential elections. This is ordinarily true, but 2024 is no ordinary election. This time the winner will be the oldest president ever inaugurated, so it’s eminently possible that his vice-president will be called on to finish his term. We know what that means if Biden wins, so Trump’s running mate will receive more than the usual amount of voter scrutiny. Thus, he must not choose another irascible white male or any Florida resident. This eliminates all but one

The Joshua tree. The beloved gnarled California icon—revered by desert aficionados and nature conservationists and considered to be endangered—is nevertheless under assault in a weird twist: environmentalists battling environmentalists. The tree is held in such high regard by people who love the natural world that supergroup U2 named perhaps their finest album after it, titling their 1987 multi-hit record simply "The Joshua Tree." But woke is pitted against woke, as the ancient trees now face the chopping block as the crazed "green energy" crowd is poised to destroy the land and thousands of these ancestral growths:

Perhaps Joe Biden needs to make the Guns N' Roses classic "Sweet Child of Mine" his campaign theme song because "Where do we go now?" is a question he and his handlers appear to be stuck with. That was punctuated on Monday after the president's approval rating hit another all-time low. According to 538, one of the industry's two most popular poll aggregators, Biden's approval sits at just 37.4 percent. That is not only the lowest of his presidency but also a record low for any president at this point in a re-election campaign since polling began. Biden wanted to make history. Well, he's doing it.

The rapacious Democrats in California are at it again, dreaming up a new tax, this time one that would see car owners charged for every mile they drive. The scheme to grab even more money from the state’s beleaguered citizenry is not just being “debated,” either. There is already a pilot program in motion, called the 2024 Road Charge Collection Pilot, where car owners install a device into their vehicle that tracks their driving and tallies up a tax on them. The new way of collecting road taxes will reportedly replace the state’s exorbitant gas taxes. At 51 cents per gallon,

Prices at In-N-Out Burger in Democrat-run California have jumped due to the $20 minimum wage, making it even more expensive for families to enjoy a simple meal together. The fast food restaurant’s Double-Double with fries and a drink costs over $10 in the state before adding in tax, the Orange County Register reported on Sunday. “A meal at In-N-Out is now $10.45 for a Double-Double, $8.65 for a cheeseburger, and $8.15 for a hamburger outside the headquarters in Irvine,” the outlet said. In April, In-N-Out President Lynsi Snyder said she fought in company meetings to keep costs low as fast food prices in California rose due to inflation and
