Underdog Republican gave Trump and DeSantis the shock of their lives

The race for the Republican nomination is underway. It’s not going how everyone expected.

And this underdog Republican gave Trump and DeSantis the shock of their lives.

If you follow the news, you know that the two leading candidates for the Republican nomination are Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump.

The match has been determined since at least last November, when Trump’s endorsed candidates showed lackluster results, while DeSantis and Florida became a Republican stronghold.

Over the past few months, rumors stirred that DeSantis would throw his hat in the ring, with Trump throwing not-so-subtle jabs at the popular Florida Governor.

Then, DeSantis announced his candidacy in late May of this year, and the race was on.

But there are far more candidates than two in the race. Though many are garnering next to no support, one has shot forward into the limelight.

According to the most recent Echelon Insights study, anti-woke businessman Vivek Ramaswamy broke into the double digits in the Republican primary contest.

The poll, like previous national polls, reveals former President Donald Trump with a solid lead in the primary campaign, with 49 percent support.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis trails by 33 points, with only 16 percent support. Ramaswamy is a close third with 10% support, just six points behind DeSantis, making him the only other contender to reach into double digits.

Former Vice President Mike Pence and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley are tied with 5% support.

South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott has 4% support, followed by former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie with 2% and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum and Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, each with 1% support.

Ramaswamy appears to be third in battleground states as well. Trump has a majority of support in battleground states, with 56 percent, followed by DeSantis with 22 percent and Ramaswamy with 7%.

The survey was conducted among 1,020 likely voters from June 26-29, 2023, and has a +/- 3.9 percent margin of error.

Ramaswamy, who has shown a big gain in name recognition and favorability in Morning Consult’s weekly poll, has made headlines after challenging rival presidential contenders to join him in pledging to pardon Trump on his first day in office.

“I challenge every US Presidential candidate to join me in standing for TRUTH. Commit to pardon Donald Trump for these federal charges on Day 1, or explain why you won’t,” Ramaswamy wrote in a social media post on June 13:

Pence is among many who have declined to declare if they would pardon Trump, claiming that it is “premature” to have that discussion.

Donald Trump just forced Joe Biden to do the one thing he hates

Even though Trump is out of office, that doesn’t mean his political power has waned. Now even Biden is having to bend the knee.

And Donald Trump just forced Joe Biden to do the one thing he hates.

Homeland Security announced Friday that it will construct 20 more miles of border wall, fulfilling a key campaign promise made by former President Donald Trump.

The government claimed it had no choice but to begin construction due to the wording of the 2019 funding bill, which included money explicitly for border wall construction.

Some $190 million remains unspent, and President Biden risks breaking the law if he does not spend it on the wall by September.

“Until and unless Congress cancels these funds, the law requires DHS to use the funds consistent with their appropriated purpose,” Customs and Border Protection said in an unsigned statement announcing the new construction.

The move marks a significant retreat for Mr. Biden, who during the 2020 campaign had vowed there would “not be another foot of wall constructed on my administration.”

CBP stated that the new construction will take place in the Yuma and El Centro sectors of the Border Patrol, which span southeastern California and southern Arizona.

The wall will be an 18-foot steel bollard design, as approved by the 2019 funding bill and described by CBP as “the most operationally effective design.”

In addition to the fence panels, the department plans to install lighting, access roads, and sensors to identify unauthorized crossings. The Trump administration dubbed the package the “wall system,” and claimed that it was all necessary for border security.

Mr. Trump left office with more than 450 miles of barrier, the majority of which replaced outmoded designs. However, the Trump administration was late in constructing the roads and wall extensions. According to the Government Accountability Office, less than 69 miles of the whole wall system will have been built by 2021.

According to the audit, the government raced to build the panels in order to satisfy Mr. Trump’s campaign pledges, but cut corners on other components of the system.

“While the wall panels are typically the most costly part of border barrier construction, the full wall system remains incomplete,” GAO said.

CBP had plans and money to build more than 200 miles of wall when Mr. Trump departed office.

Mr. Biden put a stop to that on his first day in office.

He first returned funds diverted from the Defense Department for wall construction by Mr. Trump, then pleaded with Congress to cancel the remainder of the funds appropriated by Congress for the wall.

Those attempts failed, and some of the funds budgeted for 2019, 2020, and 2021 remain in the pipeline.

Congress, for example, allotted $1.375 billion in 2019. According to Homeland Security, $190 million remains and must be spent on the wall.

Late Friday, CBP stated that it will continue to plan substantial consultation with landowners, state, local, and tribal governments on how and where to build.

“DHS remains committed to the protection of the environment and will conduct environmental surveys, analyze the potential for environmental impacts from the implementation of the projects, and develop measures that avoid or minimize impacts to the greatest extent possible,” the department said.

Kamala Harris’ career ending secret exposed by watchdog

Vice President Harris is one of the least likable politicians in the country. But things just got so much worse for her.

And Kamala Harris’ career ending secret was just exposed by a watchdog.

According to data from a conservative watchdog group, the Biden administration is aggressively working to employ artificial intelligence to promote a woke, progressive ideology, with left-wing activists leading the effort.

The American Accountability Foundation investigated the administration’s AI ambitions and is now warning in a document that top US officials under President Biden are attempting to implant “dangerous ideologies” into AI systems.

“Under the guise of fighting ‘algorithmic discrimination’ and ‘harmful bias,’ the Biden administration is trying to rig AI to follow the woke left’s rules,” AAF president Tom Jones told Fox News Digital.

“Biden is being advised on technology policy, not by scientists, but by racially obsessed social academics and activists. We’re already seen the biggest tech firms in the world, like Google under Eric Schmidt, use their power to push the left’s agenda. This would take the tech/woke alliance to a whole new, truly terrifying level.”

AAF mentioned several examples of the administration’s “campaign to make AI woke” in its memo.

The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, for example, produced a “Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights” in October.

The document warns of “algorithmic discrimination,” in which AI systems treat people differently based on their race, gender, or other qualities, and requests that data “used as part of system development or assessment” be “reviewed for bias based on the data’s historical and societal context.”

To address such concerns, the blueprint suggests “proactive equity assessments as part of system design,” among other measures.

While speaking at the Summit for Democracy in March, Arati Prabhakar, director of Biden’s Office of Science and Technology Policy, praised Biden’s signing of an executive order the previous month that, in her words, “promotes data equity,” directs agencies to combat “algorithmic discrimination,” and ensures these agencies use AI to advance “equity.”

One of the purposes of the executive order, which Biden signed in February, is to “root out bias in the design and use of new technologies, such as artificial intelligence.”

In its memo, AAF also mentions how, months later, in May, the White House’s Select Committee on Artificial Intelligence, which falls under Prabhakar’s purview, released the National Artificial Intelligence Research and Development Strategic Plan, which calls for more resources to combat “harmful biases” and warns that “AI systems are prone to ‘hallucinate’ and recapitulate biases derived from the unfiltered data from the internet used to train them.”

The report goes on to say that “understanding how AI can reduce inequities stemming from systemic, structural and individual bias is an important area of research.”

The report’s AI committee is part of the National Science and Technology Council, whose highest-ranking member is Vice President Kamala Harris, whom Biden named “AI czar” to lead the administration’s new initiative “to promote responsible AI innovation that protects Americans’ rights and safety.”

Harris has previously highlighted similar concerns about racial bias in artificial intelligence and the need to overcome it.

“When we look at … issues like AI and machine learning, there is a real need to be very concerned about how being built into it is racial bias,” Harris said in 2019 while a senator from California.

“It’s a real issue, and it’s happening in real time. And the thing about racial bias in technology is that, unlike the racial bias that you can pretty easily [detect] when you get stopped in a department store or while you’re driving, the bias that is built into technology will not be very easy to detect.”

Kamala and the Biden administration’s insistence on training AI to peddle the Democrat’s social and cultural policies is sure to sink their already failing approval ratings lower and lower.

Joe Biden struck with another crushing court loss

President Biden thinks he can do whatever he wants with no consequences. But he’s been taken to court for his actions.

And now Joe Biden was hit with yet another crushing court loss that left him fuming.

A federal judge has ruled that President Joe Biden and the ATF overstepped their authority by banning so-called “ghost guns,” dealing another setback to Biden’s anti-gun agenda.

On Friday, United States District Judge Reed O’Connor ruled that the ATF had exceeded its authority by prohibiting partially completed firearms. O’Connor presides over cases in the Southern District of Texas.

O’Connor argued that the case was a test of whether the Gun Control Act of 1968 allowed the federal government to control weapon components, related firearm items, and other tools and materials. The court ruled that the recently passed final rule by the government was an unconstitutional agency action made in excess of the ATF’s statutory jurisdiction since the government could not lawfully regulate the items in question. Accordingly, the Court set aside the Order.

It’s expected that the Justice Department will file an appeal of the verdict. It follows the repeal of restrictions on so-called “bump stocks” and portends poorly for the administration’s most recent move to outlaw adjustable braced handguns in the AR pattern.

Supporters of the Second Amendment were relieved by the verdict, seeing it as another blow to Biden’s attempt to seize firearms without going through Congress.

In this case, ATF has determined that even partially assembled firearms are nonetheless subject to regulation. The court ruled that the components were not illegal firearms.

Attorney General Merrick Garland released the rule on gun frames and receivers last year, claiming he was merely “modernizing” a law from 1968 by giving them the name “guns.” However, the court laughed off ATF’s contention that firearm components are also capable of being assembled into rifles.

“The issue in this case is whether ATF may properly regulate a component as a ‘frame or receiver’ even after ATF determines that the component in question is not a frame or receiver. It may not. Logic dictates that a part cannot be both not yet a receiver and receiver at the same time. Defendants’ reliance on that logical contradiction is fatal to their argument,” wrote the judge.

At issue are pre-assembled firearms that a buyer must assemble. Usually they are eighty percent complete and just need drilling and assembly to become guns. There are no serial numbers or mandatory background checks for purchasing one because the law does not consider them to be firearms.

Law enforcement officials are split on whether or not these guns are actually being used in crimes.

“This is a monumental victory against the tyrannical ATF. Firearms Policy Coalition and Law have argued that this rogue agency has unlawfully attacked gun owners in this latest round of ‘rulemaking,’ and we are grateful to see the court agree,” said Richard Thomson, the FPC’s vice president of communications.

Alan M. Gottlieb, founder and executive vice president of the Second Amendment Foundation, commented on the ruling, saying, “This decision amounts to another court blow to Joe Biden’s anti-gun agenda, which threatens the very Constitution he swore to uphold and defend when he took office.”

Adam Kraut, executive director of the Second Amendment Foundation, said in a press release that “this case is one more example of the Biden administration’s ongoing effort to exceed its authority in order to place as many restrictions as possible on the rights of law-abiding gun owners.”

The Biden administration and the radical Democrats continue to wax on about “common-sense” gun legislation, but the truth is, they don’t know a d*mn thing about guns.

Anyone who tries to argue that a block of aluminum needs to be classified as a weapon and subject to a background check is out of their mind.

This is all ultimately about control, not “common-sense.” That’s why the Left is so desperate to take away the freedom of Americans to be able to even get the materials they want to build or accessorize their weapons.

If the Left actually cared about firearm violence, they’d be focusing on cleaning up their streets in Detroit, Chicago, and San-Francisco.

Biden proves he’s lost his mind with one TV appearance

Voters are concerned that Biden’s mental acuity could be compromised. This leaves no room for doubt.

And Biden proved he’s lost his mind with one TV appearance.

If you look at the most recent NBC News poll, Joe Biden has plenty to worry about going into 2024.

His overall approval rating is in the low 40s, but that isn’t the worst of it.

The poll also found 68% of all voters say they have concerns about Biden having the necessary mental and physical health to be president, including 55% who say they have “major” concerns.

Not only that, but in 2020, 21% of Democrats said they had moderate/major concerns about Biden’s fitness. Now it’s 43% of Dems who say this.

Almost a majority of his party are seriously concerned that he isn’t all there and can’t effectively lead.

And Biden’s recent interview on MSNBC surely isn’t going to allay any fears.

While the cameras were still rolling, President Joe Biden abruptly stood up and exited a live televised appearance on MSNBC Thursday afternoon.

“Deadline” host Nicole Wallace was closing up the softball interview when Biden slid out of his seat.

“Mr. President, thank you,” Wallace said as the president walked over and shook her hand.

In a television clip, Biden can be seen heading off set behind Wallace as she’s looking into the camera to tease her next section.

“Don’t go anywhere, it’s a very exciting day around here,” Wallace said to the audience.

“We’ll have reaction and analysis to everything we just heard from the president.”

During the conversation, Biden, 80, had numerous difficult moments, including mixing up the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution while debating the Supreme Court’s judgment that race-based college admissions are prohibited.

“Its value system is different, and its respect for our institutions is different,” Biden said of the Supreme Court.

“And in that sense, it’s not as embracing of all, what I think the con—the Constitution says, ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men and women are created equal, endowed by their creator.’ It’s the uniqueness of America – we’ve never fully lived up to it, we never walked away from it. And this court seems to say, ‘No, that’s not always the case.’ The idea that there’s no right of privacy in the Constitution, giving states power that we fought a war over in 1960 [sic]. You know, I just think it’s — this is not your father’s Republican Party.”

The portion of text from the Constitution that Biden used is actually from the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence.

Trump just got sold out to the DOJ

Former President Trump knows a thing or two about betrayal. He’s had quite a few former “allies” sell him out to his enemies.

But this latest backstabbing is one that Donald Trump never saw coming.

According to reports, a former Trump campaign official who participated in Trump’s phony electors scam is now helping the Justice Department investigate potential efforts from Trump to overturn the 2020 election.

According to CNN’s sources, Mike Roman is assisting special counsel Jack Smith’s team by providing insight into what former president Donald Trump was thinking in the weeks following his 2020 election loss to President Joe Biden. Since Roman is not required to testify before the grand jury during these discussions, he is free to speak freely with investigators under the terms of a proffer agreement.

This arrangement could prevent investigators from using Roman’s testimony against him in the future, however it’s unclear what information they’re seeking from him. A former Trump campaign employee is under investigation for his role in a conspiracy to prevent the 2020 election in seven swing states from being certified.

In such discussions, Trump and some of his allies reportedly discussed submitting alternative elector slates who might be called on in the event the election was decertified, which has drawn the attention of investigators.

The assistance of Roman comes as the special counsel’s office intensifies up its probe into Trump’s intentions to avenge his 2020 loss to Biden and his behavior during the brawl on January 6. Smith is in charge of the DOJ’s investigation, and he has begun calling witnesses to shed light on Trump’s discussions of potential actions to overturn the election in meetings held in December 2020 and January 2021.

Local authorities in swing areas where Trump challenged election results have already received subpoenas from Smith demanding conversations with the former president in the weeks following the 2020 election.

Before Trump’s reelection loss this year, the special counsel’s team spoke with Trump’s former attorney Rudy Giuliani to gain insight into the president’s post-election mindset.

A grand jury has heard testimony from multiple witnesses in recent weeks, and the defense has been pressing to have even more of their clients interviewed.

Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and John Eastman are just a few of Trump’s previous legal team members who have been implicated. Former Department of Justice official Jeffrey Clark, who allegedly attempted to use the DOJ to help Trump reverse the election, is also being investigated by the special counsel’s office.

The investigation’s stated goal is to learn what the former president instructed his lawyers and top aides to do in an effort to alter the outcome of the 2020 election. Two more avenues have been reported that might lead to further scrutiny of Trump.

The first is based on the same type of allegations that were brought against those detained after the Capitol was stormed, including seditious conspiracy and conspiracy to hinder a government proceeding.

Trump might be charged with fraud in relation to the fake electors conspiracy or his attempts to force the DOJ to reject the election results.

Ultimately, though, the onus is on the DOJ and the FBI to prove their claims that Trump tried to outright overturn the election in 2020, and simply pointing to Trump saying that the election was “unfair” does not prove that.

The conclusion of these investigations by the DOJ will prove instrumental for the future of America as well.

Donald Trump, if proven innocent, will have a legitimate claim to the idea that the radical Left and the Deep State has been targeting him unfairly to prevent him from being able to gain power in politics ever again.

The Democrats have to prove it because, if they don’t, then their political credibility will be lost and they will have only emboldened the conservative base with their ruthlessly unfair attacks on Donald Trump.

That could have a ripple effect beyond 2024 and into 2028 and future Republican leaders like Ron DeSantis and Kristi Noem seek to take the torch from Donald Trump in the near future.

The Pentagon makes a stunning national security announcement that changes everything

Americans have always thought they were safe in this country. But the reality is far different than anyone expected.

And the Pentagon made a stunning national security announcement that changes everything.

Remember earlier this year when the Chinese decided to fly a spy balloon over the entirety of the United States homeland.

From west coast to east coast Americans watched as the balloon was allowed to hover over critical military installations without so much as a jet scrambled by the Biden administration.

Then, after completing its entire mission, Biden finally allowed the spy craft to be destroyed over the Atlantic Ocean.

But now we’re learning that American technology may have helped the Chinese in their intelligence gathering mission.

According to the Wall Street Journal, which quoted authorities involved in the preliminary inquiry into the balloon’s origin and purpose, the American-made technology assisted China in capturing images, videos, and other information.

Debris from the balloon, which was shot down in early February, apparently revealed to investigators that the Chinese device contained commercially accessible US equipment, some of which was for sale online, as well as specialized Chinese sensors and other equipment.

The new material reinforces the view of many intelligence specialists that the balloon was designed for surveillance rather than meteorological measurements, as Beijing stated.

“The officials described the Chinese balloon, with its mix of off-the-shelf and specialized equipment, as an inventive attempt by Beijing at surveillance,” the Wall Street Journal wrote.

On January 28, the balloon entered US airspace over Alaska before crossing into Canadian airspace.

The balloon reentered US airspace over Montana on January 31, and the public spotted it on February 2. On February 4, it was shot down off the coast of South Carolina.

A report published around two months later revealed that the balloon was able to gather intelligence on US military bases while in flight.

While officials claimed at the time that the balloon could be controlled and delivered data to the Chinese government in real time, the investigation’s subsequent results revealed that the device did not appear to send any data back to China.

The spy balloon episode aggravated the already fragile ties between the United States and China.

Chinese officials thought the balloon’s downing was disproportionate, while many senators thought President Joe Biden’s failure to act sooner was disastrous for national security.

Just this week, the North American Aerospace Defense Command hurried to assuage residents’ fears of another Chinese spy balloon above US country when a high-altitude balloon was detected.

While the organization determined that the balloon was not Chinese, but rather a privately owned civilian balloon registered with the Federal Aviation Administration, the anxiety was noteworthy.

Many citizens and policymakers are concerned about the prospect of spying by America’s number one adversary.

Democrat politician arrested for one disgusting reason

It’s been a bad week for Democrat lawmakers. One Democrat has already been thrown behind bars, and another is poised to join him.

And this Democrat politician was arrested for one disgusting reason.

A former New Hampshire state representative, the first openly “transgender” state member, was arrested last week for allegedly disseminating explicit pictures of children.

Stacie Marie Laughton, 39, was arrested on June 22 when police in Nashua, New Hampshire, raided his home.

“[The police] spoke with reporting parties that indicated Laughton distributed … explicit images of children,” said the local police department’s public information officer.

“Detectives from the special investigations division were assigned to further the investigation. They applied for and were granted a warrant for Laughton’s arrest.”

The Nashua Police Department Laughton, according to Sgt. John Cinelli, “was charged with four counts of disseminating” graphic pictures of children.

Laughton was arrested in connection with his former partner, Lindsay Groves, according to investigators. Groves worked at the Creative Minds Early Learning Center, a Massachusetts preschool.

Laughton has a track record of arrests and legal problems. The former Democratic lawmaker, born Barry Charles Laughton, Jr., resigned twice from the same office due to arrest controversies.

He was the first openly “transgender” person elected to the state legislature in 2012. In 2022, he was re-elected. Laughton quit both times after legal problems were revealed.

LGBTQ activists and media outlets applauded Laughton’s victory. Laughton sought to serve as an example to the “LGBT community.”

“I believe that at this point, the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) community will hopefully be inspired,” Laughton said in 2012. “My hope is that now maybe we’ll see more people in the community running.”

“Maybe in the next election, we’ll have a senator.”

After the revelation of a previous credit card fraud case involving him, Laughton resigned shortly after the 2012 election.

Laughton’s criminality extended beyond credit card fraud. Laughton was sentenced to six months in prison in 2015 for falsely reporting a hospital bomb threat.

He was later arrested in July 2021 for providing false information to the police. He was re-elected to the state legislature in November 2022, but resigned in December following stalking charges.

“I’m alive, I’m safe, I’m well,” Laughton said in a Facebook video after announcing his withdrawal from politics in 2022. “I’m not suicidal, and just trying to get by every day with what I’ve been dealt.”

“I don’t know what the future holds but I do know this—there’s a lot of good opportunities out there for me to serve, and a lot of good opportunities for me to still stay connected with everyone and I plan to do that.”

Laughton is being kept in preventative detention and will be arraigned at a later date.

Donald Trump stuns everyone with announcement of counter lawsuit

Donald Trump stuns everyone with announcement of counter lawsuit

Former President Donald Trump is tired of the political games. He’s going on the offensive.

Because Trump just stunned everyone with the announcement of this counter lawsuit.

After a civil trial jury awarded E. Jean Carroll $5 million for defamation, former President Donald Trump filed a defamation lawsuit against her on Tuesday, claiming she fraudulently accused him of rape.

After an extraordinary jury found in May that Trump sexually mistreated and denigrated but did not rape Carroll, a former advice writer for Elle magazine, Trump filed a complaint against Carroll in federal court in Manhattan.

Trump is demanding an apology and unspecified monetary damages and penalties.

On Tuesday, Carroll’s attorneys did not immediately return messages seeking comment.

With both sides trading charges and denials in the press, Trump’s lawsuit indicates his multi-front legal struggle with Carroll is unlikely to finish soon.

Carroll requested an additional $10 million in damages from Trump in May, amending the first of her two cases against him to include his repeated denials during a CNN interview the day after the judgement.

Despite the jury’s decision that Trump “just” sexually abused Carroll, Trump’s petition in that same case on Tuesday cites Carroll’s claims on CNN following the judgment, in which she stated Trump raped her.

Trump, who is vying for reelection as president in 2024 and has a large lead over his Republican opponents, has refuted sexually assaulting Carroll. He is contesting the $5 million damage award against him.

According to Carroll’s testimony, Trump assaulted her in a New York City department store in the mid-1990s and then wrecked her reputation by branding her a liar when she went public with her allegations in 2019.

These new documents are part of Carroll’s ongoing defamation lawsuit against Trump, which she first filed in 2019. The case has been stalled by appeals over whether or not Trump has presidential immunity from being sued for his comments.

After New York established a rule allowing survivors of sexual violence to pursue civil actions even if the statute of limitations had passed, Carroll filed a second lawsuit against Trump for defamation and sexual assault.

The counter suit from Donald Trump is noteworthy because it signals that the Trump legal team is ready to go on the offensive.

The attacks on Donald Trump’s character and integrity can only go on so long before he starts to fight back. And that’s what he seems to be doing now.

It will be interesting to see if Trump tries to take a new approach with regards to his other pending legal cases that are, frankly, way more important than this he-said/she-said case that he is in with Carroll.

Donald Trump’s lawyers could try to go on the offensive in his indictment trial over alleged hush payments from the 2016 election by arguing that the Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg is intentionally targeting him.

In the second indictment trial Trump is facing from the federal government over classified documents that were found at Mar-a-Lago that Trump had allegedly illegally kept and mishandled, Donald Trump’s legal team could try to argue that the federal government was unconstitutionally spying on him.

The reason they raided Mar-a-Lago in the first place was due to surveillance data they had on Trump’s home.

Of course, going on the offensive leaves you more vulnerable if you don’t focus enough on a solid defense against the pending charges themselves.

One thing is certain, Trump’s lawyers do not have an envious job at all.

Tragic news about Dianne Feinstein rocks Capitol Hill

Tragic news about Dianne Feinstein rocks Capitol Hill

Senator Feinstein had one foot in the grave and one foot on a banana peel for a while. Something had to give.

And this tragic news about Dianne Feinstein rocks Capitol Hill.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) has served in the Senate for nearly 31 years and has been paid by taxpayers for all but a few years since 1970 — more than half a century.

The senator turned 90 on Thursday. You’d think the liberal media would shower her with praise, yet CNN published a lengthy report criticizing Feinstein’s poor health and lack of involvement with her job.

The lead was harsh, saying, “Sen. Dianne Feinstein has grown isolated over the years from most members of her California delegation and other Democrats in her home state, feeding a discontent among allies who tell CNN they now wish for a more engaged and energetic senior senator.”

According to CNN senior journalist Edward-Isaac Dovere, CNN interviewed with every California House member, and few had anything positive to say about Feinstein, whom they characterized as aloof and detached from the problems most important to state people.

“They wish she could give advice and collaborate, tackling issues proactively as an active partner in the Senate. They’re bitter about it – and some also tell CNN that the situation means their constituents haven’t been getting the work they elected their senior senator to do,” reporter Dovere wrote.

Feinstein has been off the air for quite some time. Feinstein contracted shingles in March, which spread to her face and neck, causing eyesight and balance problems as well as facial paralysis.

The virus also caused encephalitis, a brain swelling that can cause long-term memory or language impairments, sleep abnormalities, episodes of bewilderment, mood disorders, and difficulty walking.

Feinstein returned to the Senate in mid-May in a wheelchair, with “the left side of her face frozen and one eye nearly shut, she seemed disoriented as an aide steered her through the marble corridors of the Senate, complaining audibly that something was stuck in her eye,” according to The New York Times.

The senator frequently loses track of where she is. When she returned to work, reporters inquired how her coworkers greeted her, but she pretended she’d never left. “No, I’ve been here. I’ve been voting.” Then she pretended to be offended. “Please. You either know or you don’t.”

Feinstein, who has been increasingly absent from public life over the last decade, has long been shielded by the mainstream media. But CNN went after her hard, proving that liberals no longer support her.

Dovere met with a California House member who had been “granted anonymity to speak frankly,” and who stated, “The situation is very frustrating, but also very clear.”

“Californians should have two responsive, active senators,” the member said. “And they don’t.”

State voters are already sick of Feinstein; according to a recent survey, a majority believe she should quit.

According to an Inside California Politics/Emerson College poll, 63% believe she should leave and 37% believe she should stay. According to the same poll, only 22% approve of Feinstein’s job performance, while 48% disapprove.

“Older voters are more likely than younger voters to say Feinstein should resign: 68% of voters over 50 think the Senator should resign compared to 58% of voters under 50 who say the same,” said Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling.

Meanwhile, California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) is said to have launched a “soft inquiry” to fill Feinstein’s seat if she retires before the end of her term in 2025.

A “person involved in the conversation” told Vanity Fair that Newsom isn’t actively looking. Instead, the governor is asking: “If somehow one of California’s U.S. Senate seats was vacant, would you be interested in filling it?”

Feinstein has previously stated that she will not run for re-election in 2024, hence her tenure will finish in January 2025. The question now is whether she can survive till then, with voters and the liberal media turning against her.

Nancy Pelosi’s supreme stupidity was on full display in this shocking interview

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi represents everything wrong with DC politics. But she refuses to go away.

And now Nancy Pelosi’s supreme stupidity was on full display in this shocking interview.

Who is more disliked by the average American public? Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi or Vice President Kamala Harris?

It’s a hard one to pick.

At least Kamala Harris largely stays out of the public eye for the most part. Maybe she’s self-aware of the fact that she is one of the most annoying Vice Presidents we’ve ever had in the history of America.

Nancy Pelosi, on the other hand, refuses to go away. She’s retired from her post as the Speaker of the House for the second time after Republicans took back the U.S. House and installed Kevin McCarthy as the speaker.

At 83 years old, she is still trying to keep her time in the spotlight. The latest example comes from an interview she gave with MSNBC.

Appearing in an exclusive MSNBC interview with Jen Psaki (the former White House Press Secretary for Joe Biden), Nancy Pelosi discussed a ton of topics regarding Washington, D.C. politics.

But one of the exchanges she had made her look truly… dumb. That’s the only way we can describe it.

Pelosi was asked by Jenn Psaki about the issue of abortion and whether she believes that Democrats should try to attack Donald Trump on that issue.

The argument is that somehow Donald Trump is an anti-women and anti-freedom candidate who just wants to control everyone. Of course, if anyone knows Trump, that’s not Donald Trump at all.

But Nancy Pelosi’s response was seriously confusing.

“Is this something Democrats should be hanging around Trump’s neck more?” Psaki asked of Pelosi, referring to the abortion issue.

Pelosi responded saying that Trump’s opinion on abortion is an “hypocrisy of the first order.”

She then said that he was “inconsistent” on this issue, followed by confusing vague comments.

Check out the clip below:

She sounds like she’s drunk in the interview to begin with.

Secondly, what in the world is she talking about saying that eight Republicans voted for women to have contraception? There was no law that was brought up in Congress about banning contraception.

And what hypocrisy is she talking about? Trump has made clear that he thinks this is a state issue, not a national issue.

Nancy Pelosi is insufferable and she showed that yet again in her interview with Jenn Psaki that was supposed to be a softball.

Serious test results made Biden go pale as a ghost

Joe Biden’s future is uncertain. And the picture is even more grim now.

And these Serious test results made Biden go pale as a ghost.

Joe Biden’s ability to lead this country has been in question essentially since he hit the campaign trail three years ago.

He consistently stumbles through speeches and falls over constantly.

If his health wasn’t enough of a concern, Americans are very worried about his policies that hurt their wallets, freedom, and futures.

And a new poll shows just how serious the situation is for Biden.

According to a new poll issued on Wednesday, inflation is the #1 concern for Americans in the United States.

According to a Pew Research Center poll, 65 percent of respondents believe inflation is a “very big problem.” Another 27% thought inflation was a “moderately big problem.”

Republicans were most concerned about the matter, with 77 percent saying so, while Democrats were equally concerned, with 52 percent saying so.

According to the research, seven out of ten Americans believe the annual budget deficit would increase over the next five years.

The proportion of Americans who believe the budget imbalance is a major national issue has climbed from 51% in 2022 to 56% in 2023.

The affordability of healthcare was the next most important concern among Americans, at 64%, followed by the capacity of Democrats and Republicans to work together at 62%, drug addiction at 61%, gun violence at 60%, and violent crime at 59%.

The poll of 5,115 American adults was conducted between June 5 and 11 and has a margin of error of 1.7 percentage points.

Pew Research Center also discovered that 62 percent of voters disapprove of Biden’s job performance.

Among this group, 41 percent strongly disapproved and 20 percent “not strongly” disapproved.”

Under President Biden, the country has seen sky-high inflation, reaching a 40-year high of 8.6 percent in June 2022.

Food, gasoline, and fuel oil prices have reached all-time highs under Biden, with the highest ever recorded national average price for a gallon of gas on June 14, 2022, at $5.016 a gallon.

If Biden can’t find a way to turn around inflation and the image of his administration’s handling of it, then his goose is cooked.
