“If you torture the data long enough, it will confess to anything.”

Fake News CBS proudly released a poll Thursday claiming 85{1b1a587643a9e9b1244ae3f96d242e13c62224c25ebdf73114e48122c41a7985} of Americans approved of dementia Joe’s address to a joint session of Congress Wednesday night.

“Most viewers who tuned in to watch President Biden’s speech liked what they heard and came away feeling optimistic about America.” CBS reported.

The poll is a big lie.

CBS interviewed 10,420 US adults and then cut it down to about 1,000 viewers for their sample.

Of the 943 people, 54{1b1a587643a9e9b1244ae3f96d242e13c62224c25ebdf73114e48122c41a7985} were Democrats (510 viewers), 25{1b1a587643a9e9b1244ae3f96d242e13c62224c25ebdf73114e48122c41a7985} were Independents (235 viewers) and 18{1b1a587643a9e9b1244ae3f96d242e13c62224c25ebdf73114e48122c41a7985} were Republicans (169 viewers).

In other words, CBS made sure their “poll” gave them their desired results favorable to Joe Biden.

In a stunningly duplicitous story aimed at shoring up the response to Biden’s speech, CBS claimed on television and on their website: “Most viewers who tuned

The American Rescue Plan reduced health insurance premiums for many people by expanding subsidies in the Affordable Care Act marketplaces. Now, President Joe Biden is seeking to make those expansions permanent in the American Families Plan—but he’s not pursuing other important ways of making health care more affordable, and many Democrats want him to change course on that.

Led by Rep. Pramila Jayapal and Sen. Bernie Sanders, a group of congressional Democrats are pushing Biden to include a Medicare expansion in the package, lowering the Medicare eligibility age to 55 or 60. Additionally, they want dental, vision, and hearing coverage covered by Medicare, and they want the government to negotiate prescription drug prices.

Sanders, the chair of the Senate Budget Committee, says he will “absolutely” work to get Medicare expansion into the bill that emerges from Biden’s plan, and Sen. Dick Durbin has also indicated he will work to make that happen. On the other hand, … Read the rest

The Biden administration’s Justice Department obtained a search warrant for Rudy Giuliani and used it to search his New York City apartment and office, seizing records and electronic devices. Giuliani has been a private attorney for President Trump in his election cases and was instrumental in getting Hunter Biden’s laptop into the news before the 2020 presidential election. Giuliani is reportedly being investigated over his alleged lobbying efforts in 2019 regarding Ukraine when he was investigating allegations of corruption involving Joe and Hunter Biden and Ukraine.

Giuliani is a legendary former mayor of New York City who rescued the city in 1990s from high crime and fiscal mismanagement and kept the city calm with strong leadership during the September 11, 2001 terror attack. Before then he was the high profile U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, taking down the five families of the mafia.

The Washington Post reports that President Joe Biden will make a push for an immigration overhaul during his first address to Congress on Wednesday night, and will call for passage of his “ambitious” immigration bill introduced this past February that puts millions of undocumented immigrants on a path to citizenship. Under that legislation, certain immigrants, like Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients and farmworkers, would be eligible for accelerated paths.

Biden will also reportedly “use his address to a joint session of Congress to push for more targeted legislation” that has already passed the House with support from Republicans, The Post said. The Dream and Promise Act, which protects DACA recipients and temporary status holders, passed with votes from nine Republicans. The Farm Workforce Modernization Act passed with support from 30 Republicans. Both bills are vastly popular among the public. Of course, the top Senate Republican is already throwing cold water on any movement.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated its Covid-19 guidelines on Tuesday and said fully vaccinated people can exercise and gather outdoors without wearing face masks.

The government is creating a caste system and moving toward vaccine passports by treating unvaccinated people as dirty lepers.

“As we gather more and more data on the real-world efficacy of vaccines, we know that mast fully vaccinated people can safely attend worship services inside, go to an indoor restaurant or bar, and even participate in an indoor exercise class,” CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said during Tuesday’s announcement.

Walensky admitted that the government is dangling the carrot to incentivize people to get vaccinated.

“The more people who are vaccinated, the more steps we can take towards spending time with people we love doing the things we love to enjoy,” Walensky said. “I hope this message is encouraging for you. It shows just … Read the rest

The day after the anemic turnout at Donald Trump’s inauguration in early 2017, the Women’s March on Washington drew out what some researchers believe to be the largest single-day demonstration in recorded U.S. history. It marked staunch, widespread opposition to a single presidential term in which Republicans would lose control of both Congress and the White House while overseeing a record number of civilian deaths, nearly half of which could have been avoided.

On Tax Day in 2009, anti-Obama protesters staged some 750 tea parties across the country to oppose government spending and the $787 billion stimulus package—a preview of the Tea Party movement to come and Democrats’ eventual loss of both Congress and the White House over the course of President Obama’s two terms.

But nearly 100 days into Joe Biden’s presidency, conservatives are still struggling to rev up their well-oiled outrage machine over the Democrat currently in the Oval … Read the rest

In a recently leaked audio, Iran’s foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said then-Secretary of State John Kerry informed him about Israel’s covert operations in Syria.

John Kerry served as Barack Obama’s Secretary of State from 2013 – 2017 and currently serves as Biden’s special climate envoy.

Zarif said he was shocked by John Kerry’s revelation that Israel had attacked Iranian targets in Syria over 200 times.

The leaked audio was obtained by The New York Times and other outlets and the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh effectively confirmed the leaked tape’s authenticity.

John Kerry was ratting out Israeli covert operations in Syria directly to the Iranian foreign minister. Let that sink in. Wow. https://t.co/lmzhamTWFf pic.twitter.com/DzMAHAJeGy

The release of the comments by Zarif set off a firestorm within Iran, where officials carefully mind their words amid a cutthroat political environment

President Joe Biden is getting props among youth voters aged 18-29, according to the Harvard Youth Poll released late last week. Biden garners a 59{1b1a587643a9e9b1244ae3f96d242e13c62224c25ebdf73114e48122c41a7985} job approval overall from young Americans, but among college voters, Biden’s 63{1b1a587643a9e9b1244ae3f96d242e13c62224c25ebdf73114e48122c41a7985} approval rating is the highest recorded in the 21-year history of the survey. In 2003, George W. Bush notched a 61{1b1a587643a9e9b1244ae3f96d242e13c62224c25ebdf73114e48122c41a7985} approval rating with college voters, and Barack Obama received a 57{1b1a587643a9e9b1244ae3f96d242e13c62224c25ebdf73114e48122c41a7985} approval among college voters in 2016.

Biden’s high marks are a notable reversal from the 34{1b1a587643a9e9b1244ae3f96d242e13c62224c25ebdf73114e48122c41a7985} approval he received from youth voters in last year’s Harvard Youth Poll, which was conducted in March while the Democratic primary was still ongoing. In fact, Biden’s favorables are so high among young Democratic voters, now at 85{1b1a587643a9e9b1244ae3f96d242e13c62224c25ebdf73114e48122c41a7985}, that they rival those of Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who enjoys a 75{1b1a587643a9e9b1244ae3f96d242e13c62224c25ebdf73114e48122c41a7985} favorability rating with Democratic youth voters.

Kamala Harris is a total embarrassment.

Kamala Harris sounded like an unprepared high school student when asked about the border crisis by CNN’s Dana Bash.

Joe Biden appointed Kamala Harris as the “border czar” on March 24 and she still hasn’t visited the border or the Northern Triangle in Central America.

Kamala Harris has no knowledge on the Northern Triangle of Central America – Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras and it shows.

“Joe Biden as Vice President was asked by Obama to focus on the Northern Triangle and he asked me to do and to carry on the work that he did,” Harris said without offering any specifics.

“We’re making progress,” she added.

“REALITY CHECK: Over this time last year, there has been a 500{1b1a587643a9e9b1244ae3f96d242e13c62224c25ebdf73114e48122c41a7985} increase in border apprehensions & a 233{1b1a587643a9e9b1244ae3f96d242e13c62224c25ebdf73114e48122c41a7985} increase in fentanyl smuggling.” GOP rapid response director Tommy Pigott said.

Despite Joe Biden's record-breaking border crisis:

Popular opinion in the United States is catching up with the realities of policing. The number of people who say they are confident that police are adequately trained to avoid excessive force has dropped from 54{1b1a587643a9e9b1244ae3f96d242e13c62224c25ebdf73114e48122c41a7985} in 2014 to 44{1b1a587643a9e9b1244ae3f96d242e13c62224c25ebdf73114e48122c41a7985} this month, a Washington Post/ABC News poll finds. And 60{1b1a587643a9e9b1244ae3f96d242e13c62224c25ebdf73114e48122c41a7985} of people said the U.S. should do more to hold police accountable for mistreatment of Black people, while 33{1b1a587643a9e9b1244ae3f96d242e13c62224c25ebdf73114e48122c41a7985} said the country is doing “too much to interfere in how police officers do their job.”

The poll was started before and finished after the guilty verdict for Derek Chauvin in the murder of George Floyd, with the results not significantly different before or after the verdict. It would seem that people do understand that the problem did not begin and end with Derek Chauvin or any one officer.

Those results suggest that Democrats shouldn’t just be confident that promoting serious police reform and … Read the rest
