Biden Drops 30% In Approval With Black Americans: Poll

President Joe Biden has seen a dramatic fall in support among black Americans, according to a new poll.

An ABC News/Washington Post poll found that just 52% of black respondents approved of Biden’s performance as president, down from 82% when he took office in 2021. The 30-point drop in support is the lowest of Biden’s presidency, and comes as he prepares for reelection.

Furthermore, 27% of black Americans said they would probably or definitely vote for former President Donald Trump, or lean towards him; over double his support in 2020. Trump won just 12% of the black vote in the last presidential election.

Black Americans aren’t the only formerly solid demographic slipping away from Democrats; Biden’s support is even lower among Hispanics. Just 40% of Hispanics approve of Biden, and 43% say they would probably or definitely support Trump in a rematch, or lean towards him. The number is 11 points above the 32% of the Hispanic vote Trump received in 2020. (Read more from “Biden Drops 30% In Approval With Black Americans: Poll” HERE)

Former Senior FBI Agents Blast Politicization of the Bureau

Former senior FBI agents are sounding the alarm about the bureau’s apparent politicization in a statement sent exclusively to The Daily Caller.

“We agree privately and uniformly that [the] FBI is heading in the wrong direction and has been too entrenched with partisan politics, starting from Director Comey and intensified under Director Christopher Wray,” one agent said on behalf of the group.

The retired agents each served in the FBI for more than two decades and chose to remain anonymous out of fear of retaliation. The agents describe themselves as a group of FBI veterans who love the bureau and worry about its growing role in partisan politics.

“We identified with Nicole Parker’s claim that ‘The FBI became politically weaponized, starting from the top in Washington trickling down to the field offices,’ illustrated by inflating domestic violent extremism statistics, directing big tech companies to censor Americans, conducting an unprecedented raid on President Trump’s home while suppressing key details related to the Hunter Biden probe as ‘disinformation’ and so on. We have observed firsthand that too many FBI current agents are suffering low morale and too many Americans have lost trust in FBI.”

Here’s How Pro-Life Advocates Plan to Win in Court and Pull the Abortion Pill off the Market for Good

An Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) lawyer handling a closely watched case on the abortion pill, which heads to the Fifth Circuit for oral arguments on May 17, told the Daily Caller News Foundation that it’s time to hold the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accountable for decades of “stonewalling judicial review” on its decision to approve the pill.

The case, Alliance Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA, was subject to fast-tracked litigation after the government appealed a district court’s April 7 ruling that suspended access to the pill, a decision the Supreme Court temporarily blocked on April 21 pending the Fifth Circuit’s coming review. ADF Legal Counsel Erica Steinmiller-Perdomo said coming oral arguments in the Fifth Circuit provide an opportunity to argue why the district court’s ruling suspending the pill “should be upheld in its entirety.”

“Our doctors are on the front lines treating women in emergency rooms across America,” she told the DCNF. “We have four plaintiff medical associations who have doctors in all 50 states who are dealing with the fallout from the FDA’s unlawful actions and cleaning up after these abortionists, who are recklessly dispensing drugs to women without diagnosing ectopic pregnancies, without making sure they are near a hospital at the time they are doing the chemical abortion procedure, and not ensuring that they get follow up treatment.”

Steinmiller-Perdomo said the FDA “misused” its approval authority when it approved mifepristone, the first of two drugs used in a chemical abortion, under accelerated approval regulations that forced them to categorize pregnancy as a “serious or life threatening illness.”

The government argues in its brief filed April 26 that plaintiffs “lack standing,” noting that they have “not shown that they will be injured at all, much less irreparably, by maintaining the status quo that they left unchallenged for years and that the Supreme Court has now preserved during these proceedings.” (Read more from “Here’s How Pro-Life Advocates Plan to Win in Court and Pull the Abortion Pill off the Market for Good” HERE)

Drag Queen on RuPaul’s ‘Drag Race’ Accused of Homosexual Rape of Production Assistant After Crew Party

A drag queen star contestant of RuPaul’s “Drag Race” show was accused of raping a production assistant after a crew party in 2020.

The accusations were reported from a lawsuit against Darius Jeremy Pierce, a man who performs under the stage name Shangela.

The victim alleges that Pierce bought drinks for the crew at the party many times, including McGarrigle. He then allegedly invited McGarrigle back to his hotel room to help him pack for an early morning flight.

The lawsuit says McGarrigle fell asleep fully dressed in Pierce’s hotel room in Louisiana. When he awoke, he claims that his pants had been pulled down and Pierce was trying to penetrate him.

McGarrigle said that he yelled “no” in protest and tried to fight him off but was allegedly overpowered. (Read more from “Drag Queen on RuPaul’s ‘Drag Race’ Accused of Homosexual Rape of Production Assistant After Crew Party” HERE)

U.S. Patriot System Behind Downing of Russian Hypersonic Missile: Ukraine

Ukraine has confirmed it successfully shot down a Russian Kh-47M2 Kinzhal hypersonic missile over Kyiv on Thursday, clarifying earlier conflicting reports over whether one of the state-of-the-art weapons had been destroyed.

The announcement was made on Saturday by Lieutenant General Mykola Oleshchuk, commander of the Ukrainian Air Force, who described it as a “historic event” on the social media platform Telegram.

Russia launched a wave of missile and drone attacks at Ukraine on Thursday, most of which were intercepted by air defense, one day after two drones exploded near the Kremlin in Moscow. Russian authorities said the drones were “a planned terrorist act” aimed at assassinating President Putin, though Kyiv has denied having any responsibility.

The Defense Express, a military-focused Ukrainian website, first reported one of the intercepted missiles was a hypersonic Kinzhal on Friday, publishing photographs it said showed the downed missile. (Read more from “U.S. Patriot System Behind Downing of Russian Hypersonic Missile: Ukraine” HERE)

Report: Tucker Carlson Gearing Up to Attack Fox News

Sources say former Fox News host Tucker Carlson is gearing up to push the outlet into letting him continue his career elsewhere.

Lawyer Bryan Freedman, whom Carlson retained for the contract dispute, said the notion Carlson’s voice would be silenced was “beyond preposterous,” Axios reported Sunday.

The outlet said Fox hopes to sideline Carlson by offering him $20 million a year not to work, adding he is “busy plotting a media empire of his own. But he needs Fox to let him out of his contract, which expires in January 2025 — after the presidential election.”

“Axios has learned that Carlson and Elon Musk had a conversation about working together, but didn’t discuss specifics,” the outlet reported.

In April, Fox announced it was parting ways with Carlson who previously hosted the popular show, Tucker Carlson Tonight. The decision came as a surprise, according to Breitbart News. (Read more from “Report: Tucker Carlson Gearing Up to Attack Fox News” HERE)

ABC/Wapo Poll: Trump Opens up 7-Point Lead Over Biden in 2024 Race

Former President Donald Trump, a Republican, has opened up a clear lead over President Joe Biden, a Democrat, in the 2024 race for the White House, a Washington Post and ABC News poll shows.

The poll shows 49 percent of respondents said they would definitely or probably vote for Trump against Biden, or that they lean towards voting for Trump, whereas Biden in such a scenario only nets 42 percent.

That means Trump leads Biden by seven percent, well outside the survey’s margin of error.

In total, if Trump is the GOP nominee in 2024, the cross tabs for the poll show 36 percent say they would definitely vote for him against Biden, another nine percent say they would probably vote for Trump in that scenario, and another five percent are leaning toward voting for Trump.

In said scenario, Biden only has 32 percent who say they will definitely vote for him, just six percent who said they probably would, and another four percent who said they lean toward voting for Biden. (Read more from “ABC/Wapo Poll: Trump Opens up 7-Point Lead Over Biden in 2024 Race” HERE)

Biden: Hunter Has ‘Done Nothing Wrong’ and His Situation Impacts My Presidency ‘by Making Me Feel Proud of Him’

By Breitbart. During an interview with MSNBC on Friday aired on Friday’s broadcast of “The 11th Hour,” President Joe Biden responded to the prospect of his son, Hunter, facing federal charges from the Department of Justice and how any potential charges brought by the DOJ will impact his presidency by stating that “my son’s done nothing wrong.” And that the situation surrounding Hunter “impacts my presidency by making me feel proud of him.” (Read more from “Biden: Hunter Has ‘Done Nothing Wrong’ and His Situation Impacts My Presidency ‘by Making Me Feel Proud of Him’” HERE)

‘I Told Him I Couldn’t Be There Because I Have This Going On:’ Biden Claims He Couldn’t Attend Charles’ Coronation Due to Cozy MSNBC Interview – But Says He’ll Meet King After NATO Summit

By Daily Mail. President Joe Biden brushed his decision not to attend King Charles III’s coronation on Saturday during a softball interview with MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle by saying: ‘I told him I couldn’t be there because I have this going on.’

Biden, 80, said that he told the king that he would be in the United Kingdom during the summer during the NATO conference. ‘He’s a good acquaintance and we’ve worked together on environmental issues,’ the president said of King Charles III.

The president dispatched his wife to represent the US at the celebrations in London. No American president has ever attended a British coronation. First Lady Jill Biden’s first stop was a meeting with Akshata Murty, the wife of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

During the MSNBC interview, his first since February’s sit down with PBS Newshour, Biden was asked why voters should choose the octogenarian.

‘I have acquired a hell of a lot of wisdom. And know more than the vast majority of people – I’m more experienced than anybody who has ever run for the office. And I think I’ve proven myself to be honorable as well as also effective,’ he bragged.

‘Damning’ Emails Show Hunter Biden Laptop Letter Was ‘Dirty Campaign Trick’ to Hurt Trump

Republicans condemned new information exposed by the Washington Examiner that ex-intelligence leaders sought to give then-candidate Joe Biden a “talking point” in his critical 2020 debate with Donald Trump when they signed onto a letter discrediting stories about Hunter Biden’s laptop.

On Thursday, the Washington Examiner revealed that Mike Morell, former deputy director of the CIA, sent a recruitment email, along with a draft of the letter, to intelligence officials days ahead of the second presidential debate between Biden and Trump. In the letter, Morell admitted that one purpose of the letter, which was published Oct. 19, 2020, was to give Biden an opportunity to rebut Trump should a discussion about the “laptop from hell” come up.

Rep. James Comer (R-KY), who is leading an investigation into the Biden family’s finances and this week subpoenaed FBI Director Christopher Wray for records describing an alleged “criminal scheme,” called the Washington Examiner’s revelations “outrageous.”

“It’s outrageous that former intelligence officials deliberately chose to spread disinformation to help Joe Biden’s presidential bid,” Comer, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, told the Washington Examiner. “The signers of the 2020 letter severely tarnished the intelligence community’s reputation and it was a steep price to pay to help Joe Biden. House Republicans will continue working to expose this dirty campaign trick and ensure accountability for the American people.”

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), who along with Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has conducted a yearslong investigation into Hunter Biden’s lucrative business dealings and accused Secretary of State Antony Blinken of providing false testimony on his email contact with Hunter Biden, was also outraged by the Washington Examiner’s findings about the motivation behind the letter.

Marine Who Grappled With Homeless Man on NYC Subway Identified: Reports

The Marine who grappled with a homeless man on the New York City Subway in early May has been identified as a sergeant named Daniel Penny, according to multiple reports.

Penny, 24, is the Marine who placed 30-year-old Jordan Neely in a chokehold Tuesday after Neely boarded a Subway train and allegedly began acting aggressively toward his fellow passengers, Insider reported Friday, citing a law enforcement official. Penny’s reported attempt to subdue the allegedly unhinged homeless man proved fatal and Neely’s death was later ruled a homicide by the NYC medical examiner.

Penny joined the Marines in 2017 as an infantryman and rose to the rank of sergeant, Insider reported. His time in the Marines lasted until 2021 — though police officials say he is still on active duty service and in good standing with the U.S. Marine Corps, according to the New York Post. Reportedly a surfing enthusiast, Penny said on his Harri profile that he was passionate about “helping, communicating, and connecting to different people from all over the world,” Insider added.
