Biden's Numbers Go Down After NYC Show Trial Guilty Verdict

 

[...] New polling numbers from Morning Consult indicate support for Biden has dropped by two points since the Manhattan jury handed down a guilty verdict.  Trump's polling numbers were unaffected, with support holding steady at 44 percent support since the beginning of May.  [...]

Legal immigration is not the target. You are here legally and, if you follow the procedures laid out for your visa type, you should have no issues.

Read about the unsettling ability of the Democrats to replace Bidementia with anyone of their choosing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Democrats Wanted An Early Debate So They'd Have Plenty Of Time To Dump Biden

 

[...] People like pollster Nate Silver are starting to call for Biden to step aside, despite many commentators still saying that's an impossibility.  However, both Democratic National Committee (DNC) rules and state laws have a plain and simple path to oust Biden.  [...]

This highly respected dude (not right-wing) barbecues Bidementia regarding illegals!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Joe Biden:  Prisoner of the Progressive Left

 

Well, he finally did it.  After dithering for months, Biden has finally issued an executive order (temporarily) closing the southern border if a trigger number of illegal crossings is hit.  (The details may be found here.)
 

This is a step in the right direction on an issue that is both highly salient and on which voter sentiment toward Biden and the Democrats is heavily negative.  But will it work?  [...]

My only point with VDH is he failed to mention that the Democrat/left/establishment conspiracies are never promoted as conspiracies by their MSM allies.

 

How Left-wing Conspiracies Work

 

Since 2016, there has been a clear pattern to left-wing conspiracies—beyond the obvious fact that they traffic in lies, stereotypes, and paranoia to serve precise political agendas.

 

We now know that the conspiracy to cook up the Russian-collusion hoax—Donald Trump allegedly conniving with Vladimir Putin to rig the 2016 vote—was perpetrated by the Hillary Clinton campaign. Its funding was hidden by the Democratic National Committee, the law firm Perkins Coie, and Fusion GPS.

 

The Russian “disinformation” laptop hoax—the notion that the same Russians four years later created a fake Hunter Biden laptop to smear the Biden family on the eve of the first 2020 debate—was jumpstarted by the Biden campaign’s then-chief foreign policy advisor, current Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

Nearly Half Of Voters Say Biden Not Mentally Fit For A Second Term:  I&I/TIPP Poll

 

In recent weeks, after several very public signs of age-related issues, 81-year-old President Joe Biden's physical and mental fitness for the White House have once again become a topic of debate.  Is the oldest president ever to serve still fit for office?  A plurality of voters say "no," according to the latest I&I/TIPP Poll.


Overall, more American voters give Biden failing grades than passing ones when it comes to both his mental and physical health, according to the national online June I&I/TIPP Poll, taken from May 29-31, of 1,910 adults.  The poll has a margin of error of +/-2.4 percentage points.


Our first question asked:  [...]

Trump Polling At 100% After Hosts Warn He Would Cancel 'The View'

 

U.S. — Former President Trump has suddenly skyrocketed to 100% in the polls after host Joy Behar warned that Trump would ban The View from television if elected.


"Welp, that does it," said lifetime Democrat Dean Bochner after hearing the news.  "I never imagined any scenario where I would punch a ballot for Donald Trump, but here we are."  [...]

Wouldn't it be something if he picked off NY, NJ, or both?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Why Donald Trump has a real chance of winning in NY

 

It may seem unbelievable but it's true: Donald Trump actually has a fair shot at winning New York in this year's presidential election.


That's right:  The state that tried to bankrupt and jail him could help elect him.


Recent polling has consistently shown Trump well within single digits in the Empire State.


And the state as a whole has been shifting rightward, thanks to weak Democratic leadership and failed policies that have thrown our state into a downward spiral.


Start with this:  [...]

Warnings signs for Biden’s Jewish support as war in Gaza drags on and antisemitism rises
 

https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/23/politics/joe-biden-jewish-voters/index.html

 

Why on earth would you support a Party that hosts members who hate you and want to see you dead?

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Because dead and Democrat both start with (D) -- gotta vote for everything (D).

I heard a very nice analysis of this election this morning.  The pundit said:

 

"Are Donald Trump's strengths more dangerous than Joe Biden's weaknesses".  My opinion is no.  Let's face it.  Biden has no strengths....none.

"The US immigration process requires a great deal of knowledge, planning, time, patience, and a significant amount of money.  It is quite a journey!"

- Some old child of the 50's & 60's on his laptop 

 

Senior Master Sergeant, US Air Force- Retired (after 20+ years)- Missile Systems Maintenance & Titan 2 ICBM Launch Crew Duty (200+ Alert tours)

Registered Nurse- Retired- I practiced in the areas of Labor & Delivery, Home Health, Adolescent Psych, & Adult Psych.

IT Professional- Retired- Web Site Design, Hardware Maintenance, Compound Pharmacy Software Trainer, On-site go live support, Database Manager, App Designer.

______________________________________

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

That's just about as concisely elegant as it can get.
