Democrats’ Approval Rating of Biden Sinks to Record Low as White House Supports Israel

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden’s approval rating among Democrats sank to a new record low last week in a recent Gallup poll, which analysts suggested was driven by his unwavering support for Israel following the terrorist attacks by Hamas earlier this month.

According to the poll released Thursday, approximately 75% of Democrat respondents approve of Biden’s presidency — marking an 11-point drop from last month’s poll. Meanwhile, responses from Independents dropped 4 points from September, giving the president approximately 35% approval from the surveyed group.

Republican respondents, however, remain unchanged about Biden’s leadership, showing only a 5% approval rating, according to the poll.

Overall, Biden’s approval rating dropped to 37% — a 4-point decrease from the previous poll.

Megan Brenan, a Gallup research consultant, wrote of the poll results that the president’s “immediate and decisive” support displayed for Israel resulted in “Democrats’ worst assessment of the president since he took office” and likewise matches an overall personal low for Biden.

‘Desperate Times Call For Desperate Measures’: Speaker Johnson Reveals Intent to Issue Hunter Biden Subpoena

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Speaker Mike Johnson revealed his intent to issue a subpoena to Hunter Biden in an interview with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures.”

“I think that desperate times call for desperate measures,” Johnson told Bartiromo when asked if he expected to subpoena the president’s son.

Johnson said that “a full decision” has yet to be made regarding the subpoena, noting that he is counseling with “the attorney involved in all of this” before taking action. The newly elected Republican speaker stated that the House is “trying to move forward on some of this very aggressively.”

“I think the American people are owed these answers, and I think our suspicions about all this, the evidence that we’ve gathered so far, as you know, is affirming what many of us feared may be the worst,” Johnson said. “And, you know, as [James] Comer likes to say, ‘Bank records don’t lie.’ We already have a lot of this evidence. The dots are being connected, and we’ll see where it leads.” (Read more from “‘Desperate Times Call For Desperate Measures’: Speaker Johnson Reveals Intent to Issue Hunter Biden Subpoena” HERE)

Halloween Candy Inflation Hits Double Digits Second Year in a Row

/0 Comments/in , /by

U.S. candy prices surged 13% in October compared to that of last year, marking a second-consecutive year of double-digit inflation in the industry, the Associated Press (AP) reported Saturday.

The increase is more than double the 6% rise in overall grocery prices and follows a 14% hike in candy prices last October, according to the AP.

Weather challenges, particularly in West Africa, have driven cocoa prices to 44-year highs, affecting global candy prices, per the outlet. Unfavorable weather conditions, including heavy rains and subsequent droughts, have severely impacted cocoa production, according to the outlet. Additionally, global sugar prices hit 12-year highs due to disrupted supplies from major producers like India and Thailand, per the AP.

Increased costs in labor, packaging and other ingredients also contribute to the ballooning candy prices, as reflected in the pricing strategies of companies like Hershey Co. and discount grocery chains. For example, Aldi’s price for a 250-piece variety pack of Mars Inc. chocolate bars is currently advertised at $24.98, up from $19.54 two years ago, the outlet noted.

Biden’s New ‘Rule’ Would Force Government Thought on Millions

/0 Comments/in , , /by

China is well known for dictating what people think. Or at least what they say they think. A statement of a wrong belief can bring on trouble quickly.

Now Joe Biden’s administration is preparing to take a major step in the same direction, with a plan by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to dictate how transgenderism and abortion are addressed in the workplace.

Through its rule-making process, the EEOC is preparing to identify the simple “voicing of opposition to abortion or contraception as policy matters” as “workplace harassment.” . . .

A report in Decision Magazine explains how Biden’s strategy is to force all workplaces to become “woke,” or adopt the leftist social ideologies that Biden’s administration chooses to endorse.

The report explains that conservative and faith-based groups are alarmed at the prospect Biden’s plans will violate their free speech rights, and offend their business management plans. (Read more from “Biden’s New ‘Rule’ Would Force Government Thought on Millions” HERE)

A Quiet New Move Could Spell Disaster for Biden With Black Voters

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A new Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rule aimed at protecting black Americans could backfire in a big way on President Joe Biden.

The FDA sent the final draft of a ban on menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars to the White House last week, the last regulatory step in a process that began in April 2022. Menthol cigarettes disproportionately harm black Americans and ban could save scores of lives within that demographic, health experts contend. Between 1980 and 2018, 40 percent of excess deaths due to menthol cigarette smoking were black Americans, and black Americans smoke menthols at nearly triple the rate of whites, according to the FDA.

Healthy or not, moving forward with the rule could cost Biden a number of black votes in the 2024 presidential election, retired law enforcement professionals and GOP strategists told the Daily Caller. Some even wondered why the administration would consider such a proposal at a time where Republican frontrunner Donald Trump is surging in polls and Biden’s approval rating is slumping.

“The ban could potentially create political problems for Biden,” Mark R. Weaver, a GOP consultant, told the Daily Caller. “Black voters are the strongest constituency of the Democrat Party, with black women being more loyal to Democrats than black men. The studies I’ve seen suggest that, among those in the black community who smoke, specifically menthol cigarettes, it skews heavily towards men. So to the extent that black men have been less loyal to the Democrats than black women, any issue that affects them more specifically could cause them to be less enthusiastic about Joe Biden’s reelection.” (Read more from “A Quiet New Move Could Spell Disaster for Biden With Black Voters” HERE)

FBI Headquarters Stonewalled Investigative Activity on Hunter Biden, Former Prosecutor Testifies

/0 Comments/in , /by

The FBI used administrative maneuvers to stonewall investigative activity surrounding Ukraine and Hunter Biden’s ties to Ukrainian energy firm Burisma Holdings, former U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania Scott Brady testified to the House Judiciary Committee.

FBI headquarters allegedly micromanaged the investigative process to slow-walk Brady’s attempt at vetting information related to corruption in Ukraine and Hunter Biden’s business relationship with Burisma, resulting in significant delays to vetting activity assigned to Brady by then-Attorney General Bill Barr, according to a transcript of his testimony reviewed by the Daily Caller.

“I think there was reluctance on the part of the FBI to really do any tasking related to our assignment from DAG Rosen and looking into allegations of Ukrainian corruption broadly and then specifically anything that intersected with Hunter Biden and his role in Burisma. It was very challenging,” Brady stated. (Read more from “FBI Headquarters Stonewalled Investigative Activity on Hunter Biden, Former Prosecutor Testifies” HERE)

Elon Musk Had Some Chilling Thoughts About the Potential of WWIII

/0 Comments/in , /by

Afew days ago, Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, and David Sacks joined together for a phone conference to discuss the Israel-Hamas and Russia-Ukraine conflicts.

Musk, as usual, had some profound insight.

“In theory, it should be easy to avoid World War III because no one wants it,” said Sacks.

“I think we are sleepwalking our way into World War III with one foolish decision after another,” Musk responded. “I mean, what is the track record here? It’s not good.”

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Coca-Cola Company quietly removed a mention on its website about donations to Black Lives Matter after the activist group came out in support of the Palestinian terror group Hamas.

The soft drink giant recently deleted a sentence referencing donations to Black Lives Matter by Sprite, which is sold by Coca-Cola.

“The brand also donated $500,000 to the Black Lives Matter Global Network to support the group’s voting education efforts and their February 2021 Black Future Month program to empower the next generation of Black youths,” reads the deleted sentence.

The sentence appears in an archived version of Coca-Cola’s “Taking A Stand” website page from June. The current version of the page does not contain the sentence. (Read more from “Coca-Cola Scrubs BLM Donations Mention From Website After Hamas Support” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A young Oklahoma mom has been found dead on a barge on the Mississippi River — days after she was arrested for repeatedly calling 911 pleading for help.

Hailey Silas’ body was found about 7 a.m. Saturday while the barge’s crew was performing an inspection while traveling the Mississippi River near Shelby Forest in Tennessee, WREG reported.

Less than a week earlier, the 22-year-old mom was arrested for calling 911 several times Sunday from a gas station across from Southland Casino, according to the outlet.

She reportedly asked authorities to give her a ride out of West Memphis, Arkansas, because she was scared of something and was having a “panic attack.”

After Silas was taken to a station in handcuffs, she asked to talk to her parents, saying she was scared and confused, according to WREG. (Read more from “Young Mom Found Dead Days After Being Arrested for Repeatedly Calling 911, Begging for Help” HERE)
