About once a month we provide you with what people are saying, according to Rasmussen Reports.Sadly, these findings indicate that approximately 1/3 of Americans are far-left and will support anything Joe Biden and the Democrats do, even if it negatively impacts them and their families (e.g., inflation).

• President Biden ended the polling week with a daily job approval of 41%.
• Despite news reports that the Supreme Court may be ready to overturn Roe v. Wade, abortion rights haven’t displaced inflation at the top of the list of issues most concerning to voters.
• House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is still the least popular congressional leader, and even a third of Democratic voters have an unfavorable view of the San Francisco Democrat.
• More than two months into Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a plurality of voters see the conflict as a stalemate, and fears of a wider war in Europe remain high.
• A majority of voters are concerned about rising energy costs and favor increased drilling for oil and gas, although most Democratic voters consider reducing climate change a higher priority.
• Economic confidence fell to 87.7 in this month’s Rasmussen Reports Economic Index, more than 20 points lower than April.
• The news media don’t question President Joe Biden as aggressively as they questioned former President Donald Trump, according to a majority of voters who say “fake news” is still a major problem.
• Despite inflation and other economic concerns, most homeowners still expect the strong housing market to continue.
• Twenty-eight percent (28%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.

But, what are your thoughts about these topics, immigration, rising crime, etc.?

The news media don’t question President Joe Biden as aggressively as they questioned former President Donald Trump, according to a majority of voters who say “fake news” is still a major problem.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 54% of Likely U.S. voters believe the news media are less aggressive in questioning Biden than they were in questioning Trump. Only 18% think the media is more aggressive with Biden, while 23% say the media treatment of Biden is about the same as it was with Trump.

Are Mr. Potato Head’s guest and Emerald Robinson the same sex? Just asking for JimNorCal.

During yesterday’s speech, Joe Biden not only totally ducked responsibility for all the country’s problems (unchecked inflation, invasion of our borders, energy dependency, supply chain shortages – even unavailability of baby formula) blaming Vladimir Putin, American corporations, Congressional Republicans, Donald Trump and Trump followers. Biden went so far as to claim that inflation isn’t as bad because of his policies.

June 4, 2020 Biden tweeted:

It’s hard to believe this has to be said, but unlike this president, I’ll do my job and take responsibility. I won’t blame others. And I’ll never forget that the job isn’t about me — it’s about you.

Yesterday he even coined a new term – Ultra-MAGA – people who are responsible for the country’s problems as well as hatred and violence. Outgoing Press Secretary Jen Psaki said that Biden actually created the term Ultra-MAGA himself, destroying half of his remaining six brain cells in the process.

Biden is helping the economy by inspiring a new industry. A wide range of Ultra-MAGA caps, tee-shirts and hoodies is already available on the Internet.

So when you see thousands of illegal aliens streaming across our nation’s southern border, don’t blame Biden, Harris or Mayorkas. Blame the guy sitting in a Cincinnati sports bar drinking a Yuengling and wearing a MAGA hat.

Let’s hope “Ultra-MAGA” is half as successful as Hillary’s “basketful of deplorables.”

Wonder why half the country believe Brandon isn’t mentally competent to be president?

Emerald Robinson: Do these glasses make my t!ts look too big?

It’s not nice to bring up the fact that a person is losing his mental facilities, but the typical person losing his/her mental facilities isn’t president of the United States.

Joe Biden never should have been the Democratic nominee. The media carried his water, protecting him while he hid in his basement throughout the campaign. CNN and the rest of the leftist media assured voters that Biden was a “moderate Democrat,” not crazy-left like Bernie or AOC. Biden would unite the country and bring stability.

Then there were many “irregularities” election night. Every battleground state (Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin) took the unusual tact of shutting down for the night. Trump was ahead in most states when vote counting was suspended and when counting resumed Biden received an avalanche of votes and won every battleground state.

Biden has been anything but moderate. All the Biden administrations nominees for administrative posts and judicial posts have been far, far left.

The results have been predictable: the economy is crashing, crime is at epidemic proportions, the border is completely overrun and the US has forfeited its leadership role and the country is even more divided. Foreign countries may not have liked Donald Trump, but they grudgingly respected him and listened to him.

Does anyone really believe Biden is anything other than a puppet for Barack Obama and the rest of the extreme left?

Last week, at the behest of his handlers, Biden condemned the MAGA movement.

President Joe Biden on Wednesday escalated his rhetorical attacks on the Republican Party and rebuked former President Donald Trump’s enduring grip on the GOP.

“This MAGA crowd is really the most extreme political organization that’s existed in American history, in recent American history,” Biden told reporters at the White House, referring to Trump’s “Make America Great Again” movement.

In prepared remarks on the economy, Biden also referenced Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) by name, criticizing his “11 Point Plan to Rescue America” — which proposed, in part, raising income taxes on low-income Americans.

Speaking at the White House, Biden described his personal economic philosophy as “in sharp contrast to what today’s Republican Party is offering — and if they hadn’t put this in print, you’d think I was making it up.”

“Senator Rick Scott of Florida … released what he calls the ultra-MAGA agenda. It’s a MAGA agenda all right,” Biden said. “Let me tell you about this ultra-MAGA agenda. It’s extreme, as most MAGA things are.”

Biden’s remarks underscore broader efforts by Democrats — who are facing significant political headwinds ahead of the midterm elections in November — to highlight Scott’s unpopular economic proposals and Republicans’ emphasis on divisive cultural politics.

“This is the MAGA party now. … These guys are a different breed of cat,” Biden said in Seattle earlier this month. “They’re not like what I served with for so many years. And the people who know better are afraid to act correctly, because they know they’ll be primaried.”

This is working out well for the left. Biden gained the presidency, even though he is likely to be viewed as the worst president in history. Barack Obama can be far bolder working through his puppet than he ever was as president. When things fall apart, it will be Biden’s  legacy – not Obama’s – that goes down in flames. Doctor Jill gets to be first lady and the left turns the country farther toward socialist.

Haven’t conservatives been far too kind to Biden? Maybe it’s time to take off the gloves and land a few haymakers. When the country’s future is at stake, the time for being nice is over.

Who is really the president?

When you are a leftist and follow left=wing talking points, it’s important to remember leftist-approved “disinformation” and “misinformation” … no matter how ridiculous and untrue it may be. Gavin Newsom (aka Nutcase) had the audacity to claim that men can’t get pregnant when condemning the Supreme Court’s leaked decision regarding Roe vs. Wade.

When you live in the leftists’ fantasy world, one must remember never to let reality cloud your thinking.

Conservatives on Twitter had a field day Wednesday bashing Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., for getting his far left talking points all mixed up. At an abortion rally, he denied that men can get pregnant, which goes against current woke ideology.

On Wednesday, Newsom posted a video of himself speaking to abortion and Planned Parenthood supporters about his commitment to defend the “reproductive rights” of women and girls in California in a rebuke of the potential SCOTUS decision to overturn Roe v Wade that was leaked in a court draft opinion on Monday.

Newsom’s speech consisted of the typical boilerplate pro-abortion talking points, but the caption for his video made one assertion conservatives thought the left had abandoned some time ago.

“If men could get pregnant, this wouldn’t even be a conversation,” Newsom tweeted. “This decision isn’t about strengthening families – it’s about extremism. It’s about control. We will fight for the right to choose.”

Conservative commentators were quick to point out that Newsom’s claim about men not being able to get pregnant is inconsistent with the current far left narrative on gender and sex, which now insists that men (trans men) can become pregnant.

10 years ago, this would have been viewed as total lunacy. Who needs a pregnant man emoji when we have Jerry Nadler?

Remember the olden days when all Democrats were bad and all Republicans were good?

As a general rule, it’s still true that Democrats are bad and Republicans are mostly good, but there are exceptions. For example, take Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins and Tulsi Gabbard. All three were members of Congress and are pro-abort. Gabbard is a Democrat while Murkowski and Collins claim to be Republicans. But, Gabbard is on the side of working class Americans on far more issues than Murkowski and Collins.

While Gabbard is speaking out on government takeover of our lives and the creation of the Disinformation Governance Board while Murkowski and Collins are (not so) strangely silent.

During the 2020 Democratic presidential debates Gabbard stood out as by far the only Democratic candidate even remotely capable of rational thought.

British comedian Russell Brand is a liberal, but he has become increasingly concerned about the loss of personal freedom worldwide. He mow has a daily podcast and has 5.6-million YouTube subscribers. This week, none other than one of academia’s best-known leftists Noam Chomsky credited former President Donald Trump for being one of the few prominent statesmen in the West actively pushing for peace in Ukraine as opposed to escalating war with Russia. The world may be about to end.

Brand’s podcasts are neither liberal nor conservative. He attempts to create “awareness” of things he views as dangers – globalism, world government, the World Economic Forum, etc. His podcasts are quite humorous.

Like Murkowski and Collins, there are far too many Republicans, like Mitch McConnell and Mitt Romney, who kowtow to special interests and the media. They are fine with the loss of personal freedoms and the transition of the United States into third world nation status. They are not raising their voices about the Biden Regime’s abrogation of personal freedoms and the decline of the United States.

And, there are so-called conservatives, like Jonah Goldberg and Paul Ryan, who opposed Donald Trump at every turn even though he was actually accomplishing promises that Republicans had failed to keep for decades. Through his antics, Goldberg has lost his conservative following and is now a CNN contributor. Watch for Goldberg to take a sharp left to keep this gig.

This is not about embracing liberals, but partnering with them on specific issues when there is mutual benefit.

Hopefully Murkowski will soon join Gabbard as a former member of Congress.

Which one is not like the others (in more ways than one)?
