Poll: Trump Leads Biden in Crucial Swing States as 2024 Looms

Former President Donald Trump leads President Joe Biden in six of seven crucial swing states, according to a Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll, mirroring a trend in two separate polls published Sunday and Thursday.

In hypothetical head-to-head matchups, Trump leads Biden to varying degrees in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, while they tie in Michigan.

When independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Green Party candidate Cornel West are added to the pool, Trump maintains his leads over Biden. However, the president takes a slim advantage in Michigan.

The poll finds that Trump holds a four-point lead over Biden in a hypothetical head-to-head race in Arizona. Of the 800 registered voter respondents, 46 percent would back Trump, and 42 percent would support Biden. Another four percent of Arizona voters wouldn’t vote, while eight percent would be undecided.

The margin of error (MOE) in Arizona is plus or minus three percentage points. (Read more from “Poll: Trump Leads Biden in Crucial Swing States as 2024 Looms” HERE)

Muslim Democrats ‘Horrified’ by Plan to Halt Palestinian Immigration to U.S.

Muslim Democrats Andre Carson, Rashida Tlaib, and Ilhan Omar say they are “horrified” by GOP plans that would halt Palestinian legal immigration to the United States.

This week, Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-MT) and other House Republicans introduced legislation to ban the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from providing green cards, visas, refugee status, and parole to Palestinians.

Zinke’s legislation also would revoke visas for Palestinians in the United States, thus making them eligible for deportation.

“This legislation keeps America safe,” Zinke said of the legislation. “I don’t trust the Biden Administration any more than I do the Palestinian Authority to screen who is allowed to come into the United States.”

In response, Carson, Tlaib, and Omar issued a joint statement where they called Zinke’s legislation “xenophobic, punitive, and [an] unconstitutional measure.” (Read more from “Muslim Democrats ‘Horrified’ by Plan to Halt Palestinian Immigration to U.S.” HERE)

Special Counsel in Hunter Biden Investigation Reveals Need for DOJ Tax Division Approval

Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, special counsel in the ongoing Hunter Biden investigation, confirmed he needed approval from the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Tax Division on his decisions during the case.

Weiss testified before the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday and admitted that the DOJ Tax Division would have to approve tax charges leveled against Hunter Biden, even with his special counsel authority, according to a transcript of his testimony reviewed by the Daily Caller.

“I’m not going to comment on Tax Division approvals relative to this case. It would entail the deliberative process,” Weiss said. He was willing to speak about the general authority given to the Tax Division, without discussing the Hunter Biden investigation.

“I am aware of the Tax Division responsibilities under title — under the Code of Federal Regulations and the manual,” Weiss stated. He also expressed his understanding that the Tax Division is tasked with approving title 26 tax evasion offenses.

“I am aware that Tax Division approves the charging of title 26 offenses,” Weiss said. (Read more from “Special Counsel in Hunter Biden Investigation Reveals Need for DOJ Tax Division Approval” HERE)

Muslim Group Accuses Biden Administration of ‘War Crimes’

There has been a heavy situation of Democrats in disarray when it comes to the Israel-Hamas war after the Iranian backed group perpetrated a terrorist attack against Israel on October 7, killing more than 1400 civilians.

Democratic voters, especially Muslim voters in the swing state of Michigan, threatened to withhold support for President Joe Biden in 2024. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) really ramped that up, though, when she shared an ad calling Biden out for what support he has shown Israel, with that ad containing genocidal phrases such as “from the river to the sea.”

But Tlaib isn’t the only one calling out Biden. On Friday, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) sent out a press release levying quite the accusation against the Biden administration.

“By providing unlimited support for Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza, the Biden administration must share the blame for the war crimes being carried out on an hourly basis targeting Palestinian women, children and men,” a statement from CAIR National Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper said. “Our nation’s failure to recognize the humanity of the Palestinian people is prolonging the suffering and preventing a just resolution to the decades-long conflict resulting from the denial of Palestinian rights.”

DOJ Declined Top Hunter Biden Prosecutor’s Request for Additional Authority, Testimony Confirms

The Department of Justice (DOJ) declined a request by Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss for additional charging authority for the Hunter Biden case in spring 2022, prior to his special counsel appointment.

Weiss, the lead prosecutor in the Hunter Biden investigation, testified Tuesday before the House Judiciary Committee and described a call with two DOJ officials who turned down his request for special attorney authority under section 515, according to a transcript of his testimony reviewed by the Daily Caller.

Weiss spoke on the phone with Associate Deputy Attorney General Bradley Weinsheimer, his main point of contact, and Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General (PADAG) John Carlin after he reached out about extending the investigation into D.C. and California.

“I initiated email contact with Mr.Carlin, and I subsequently had a conversation with John Carlin, and I believe Brad Weinsheimer was on the call,” Weiss testified.

Weiss described how the DOJ officials told him to follow the normal charging process instead of giving him the extra authority. (Read more from “DOJ Declined Top Hunter Biden Prosecutor’s Request for Additional Authority, Testimony Confirms” HERE)

Hedge Fund Billionaire Issues Bone-Chilling Prediction About Future Inflation

Hedge fund founder Ken Griffin warned Thursday that inflation could persist for decades, citing U.S. government spending.

Griffin, the founder of Citadel, warned that the high U.S. budget deficits were unsustainable while at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in Singapore, according to the New York Post. The federal budget deficit hit roughly $1.7 trillion for fiscal year 2023, according to an Oct. 21 release from the Treasury Department.

Griffin said the U.S. government failed to plan for inflation when it “went on the spending spree that created a $33 trillion deficit,” the Post reported.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by 3.7% on a year-to-year basis in August despite 11 interest-rate hikes since March 2022. (Read more from “Hedge Fund Billionaire Issues Bone-Chilling Prediction About Future Inflation” HERE)

Senator Requests Subpoena of Jeffrey Epstein’s Estate, Demanding Infamous Flight Logs

Tennessee Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn asked Senate lawmakers on Thursday to approve a subpoena against the estate of deceased wealthy financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, demanding Congress gains access to flight logs from his private plane.

“Given the numerous allegations of human trafficking and abuse surrounding Mr. Epstein, we’ve got to identify everyone who could have participated in his horrific conduct,” Blackburn said in a news release.

Blackburn announced she filed the request during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing surrounding Sen. Dick Durbin’s (D-IL) attempts to investigate Supreme Court ethics issues. Amid a fiery exchange between the two lawmakers, Blackburn announced a series of subpoenas, including the one against Epstein’s estate.

“I think it is very important that we identify everybody that was on that plane, and how many trips they took on that plane and the destinations to which they arrived,” she said.

Vatican: Transgender People Can Be Baptized and Be Godparents Under Certain Conditions, Vatican Clarifies

The Vatican on Wednesday clarified several questions regarding people who have received transgender medical treatments, same-sex couples, and Catholic sacraments.

The Vatican’s Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, which exists to defend Catholic doctrine, published a document on Wednesday responding to six controversial questions submitted by a Brazilian bishop over the summer.

Some of the questions dealt with whether a transgender person can be baptized, serve as a godparent at a baptism, or be a witness at a wedding. The other questions dealt with whether a same-sex couple’s child can be baptized and whether a cohabiting person in a same-sex relationship can be a godparent or witness at a wedding.

On the first transgender question, the Vatican responded that a person who has received gender surgery or hormone treatment can be baptized “under the same conditions as other believers, if there are no situations in which there is a risk of generating public scandal, or disorientation among the faithful.” (Read more from “Vatican: Transgender People Can Be Baptized and Be Godparents Under Certain Conditions, Vatican Clarifies” HERE)

New HHS Pronoun Mandate Forces Employees to ‘Deny Reality,’ Violate Law

The feds have adopted a new policy that pushes the transgender ideology to extremes, promising punishment for employees who don’t abide by its nonsensical requirements to call men “she” and women “he,” if that’s what they demand.

According to a Fox News report experts are calling the new agenda illegal.

According to the report, the Department of Health and Human Services now is demanding that employees “deny biological realities with their own words or face firing.”

Heritage Foundation spokesman Roger Severino bluntly explained, to Fox, “HHS and the federal government is requiring its employees to speak falsehoods.”

He’s the former head of civil rights at HHS, and explained on social media, “HHS today imposed a transgender pronoun mandate on its employees who will now be forced to deny biological realities with their own words or face firing. Those with faith objections should immediately request religious accommodation and prepare to fight for your rights.”

White House Dismisses Iran Proxies Continuing to Strike Troops

. . .[CNN] Host Wolf Blitzer asked, “As you know, the U.S. struck Iranian weapons in Syria last night in retaliation for attacks on American forces. But since then, U.S. troops have already been targeted in four more attacks. So, are these U.S. retaliatory strikes actually working?”

Kirby answered, “It is not uncommon after we take a retaliatory strike for there to be some sort of secondary set of strikes by these proxy groups. We haven’t seen them be very effective. That doesn’t mean we’re taking it lightly or we’re undermining it at all. Obviously, we’ll continue to do what we have to do to protect our troops in Iraq and Syria. You heard the president talk about that today. Look, these proxy groups and the IRGC, the Revolutionary Guard Corps that supports them, resources them, trains them, funds them, gives them these capabilities, they have a choice to make. We’ve shown that we will do what we have to do to protect our troops in Iraq and Syria. We’ll continue to do that. If they want yet more responses from the American…military, then they’ll have to deal with the consequences for that, if they’re going to keep striking.” (Read more from “White House Dismisses Iran Proxies Continuing to Strike Troops” HERE)
