Who is the president? Alarming number of Americans don’t know: study
New York Post ^ | Sep. 9, 2023 | Georgia Worrell

President Biden has apparently failed to make an impression with an alarming number of Americans.

The president’s identity was the third most commonly Googled query beginning with “who is” nationwide from June through August, according to the results of a Google trend analysis by Casino.org. “Who is the president?” was the top “who is” search in New York, New Jersey, and Texas, and the least popular Google query in Delaware, Hawaii, and Massachusetts.

“Prolific ignorance like that is wild to hear about,” said 33-year-old Lower East Side resident Henry Post. “On the other hand, the president today is largely an empty suit without the power or desire to affect meaningful change. So wasting your brain space on things you can’t control carries a weird and, I guess, sort of depressing, wisdom,” Post said.

I really do not know either. One thing for sure, it is not Biden.

The dumbing down of our population proceeds unabated. This is by the democrat communist party’s plan. Dumb people are easier to control.

Who is the puppet master? I think that was the search people were trying to make. They just didn’t know how to word it. The article doesn’t mention another top ten search: “Weekend at Bernie’s”.

No one will know for sure who won in 2020 until they allow full audits of the swing state counties where there were credible allegations of fraud.

I have no doubt that Trump won in a landslide, but audits would be required to prove it, and the courts have not ruled in favor of allowing such audits.

The main reason given by the courts for dismissing challenges has been “lack of standing” which makes absolutely no sense. Who does not have standing in the case of a national election?

Americans are being lied to by the ruling class, and too many, it seems, have been dumbed down to the point of believing anything - no matter how absurd.

They don’t know who is in charge, or they don’t know who is warming the seat? The first one I can understand, but they couldn’t have been paying attention at all if they don’t know the second. The last time I didn’t know the name of the president was in 1963 when it was announced in school that the president had been killed. I was six. I found out really fast over the next few days, and I have always kept up with it since then.

Now very difficult to search the survey of college students ignorant of history.

Still could locate these:

According to the survey, only half the American public could correctly identify when the Civil War took place.

2/3 of college students knew it.
“These results are tragic witness to the alarming level of historical illiteracy in this country,” said ACTA President Anne Neal. “Sadly, we should not be surprised: Our What Will They Learn?TM study has found that just 18% of the 1,100 liberal arts colleges and universities we survey require graduates to have even a single survey course in American history or government.”
ACTA website. Am.Council of Trustees and Alumni, April 14, 2015.

Survey Finds Teenagers Ignorant on Basic History and ...

The New York Times
Feb 27, 2008 — Fewer than half of American teenagers who were asked basic history and literature questions in a phone survey knew when the Civil War was fought in relation to World War II.


These will be on juries judging us someday. And nearly always voting straight Democrat. And laughing at me for not posting on Tik Tok or X with their fellow fools.

Question never answered: Who is the boss of Biden’s handlers?

Several Soros, Obama or other names of underlings but who is the real boss?

I want to take this chance to besmirch Obama again (he deserves it)

Quote from OK!News website, By Alexandra Stone
Jul. 9 2023:
According to Edward-Isaac Dovere’s book, Battle for the Soul: Inside the Democrats’ Campaigns to Defeat Donald Trump, Obama told foundation donors that Trump was a “madman”, a “racist, sexist pig”, a “lunatic” and all-in-all a “corrupt motherf*****.”

To anyone paying attention, the REAL president is Obama, his 3rd term. And his communistic goal of tearing down this country to its core is well under way and progressing well.

Joe has to have his shoes tied. Probably not even a statement that is not true in any way. He falls, poops with no control, can’t find his way off a stage, mumbles, and is in late stage senility.

Joe is a meat puppet.

Biden is president in name only—knowing his name is totally useless information.

Is there a way to discern a persons citizenship via their use of google or are all people in America considered Americans when they use google?
