A Florida woman has been charged with drowning her roommate’s tiny pet spider in a can of soda — later bragging about it online, writing: “Yes I’m an evil spider killer!!” Ilena Renae Rasmussen, 43, was arrested on July 29 after texting her roommate and “admitting to drowning [her] jumping spider in ginger ale,” the Okaloosa Sheriff’s Office wrote in an affidavit obtained by the Miami Herald. She then repeatedly referred to the accusations in a series of cruel social media posts — including a photo of her holding a can of ginger ale, just like the one she allegedly...

According to the polls, the presidential race has tightened since Joe Biden dropped out and anointed Kamala Harris as the Democrats’ nominee. Donald Trump’s lead in the RealClearPolitics average has shrunk to just 0.8 points. However, one pollster that still shows Trump with a healthy lead nationally is Rasmussen Reports. Its latest poll, released Thursday, had Trump up five points nationally; however, Trump’s “margin has narrowed, especially when third-party candidates are factored into this year’s election.” Many on the left took to social media to dismiss the poll and label Rasmussen Reports as a "pro-Trump pollster." To get a response...

A new Rasmussen poll taken before the assassination attempt on President Trump and the resignation from the 2024 Democrat ticket by Joe Biden shows a shocking result. The poll shows the top issues still remain the economy (27%) and the border (20%). However, the demographic polled is interesting. Rasmussen also asked 2,466 the typical questions in an election year poll, however, they also asked about citizenship status. Respondents either answered “Yes,” “No,” or “Not sure.” Out of 2,466 respondents, 131 responded with “No” and 91 responded “Not sure” regarding their citizenship. This accounts for just over 9% of those polled...

When veteran pollster Scott Rasmussen surveyed a group of Americans he calls the elite 1% earlier this year, he discovered a startling number who say it’s OK to win an election by cheating. The elite 1%—individuals who make over $150,000 a year, live in densely populated areas, and have postgraduate degrees—are overwhelmingly liberal. They give President Joe Biden an 82% approval rating, compared to his 40% average from the rest of Americans. Rasmussen asked these liberal voters: “Suppose that your favorite candidate loses a close election. However, people on the campaign know that they can win by cheating without being...

The margin of error is +/- 3 with a 95% confidence level. FACT-O-RAMA! Whiny leftist milksops screamed that Donald Trump's 2016 election victory over Hillary Clinton was the result of Russian interference, somehow involving $100,000 worth of Facebook ads, most of which didn't involve the election at all and focused more on lefty, neo-commie ideology. The same chicken hearts assured us the 2020 election was the cleanest in history.The...

Half a century ago, George Orwell, writing on literary censorship, wrote that “unpopular ideas can be silenced, and inconvenient facts kept dark, without the need for any official ban.” That dynamic now broadly extends to an opaque network of government agencies and self-proclaimed anti-misinformation groups that have repressed online speech. There’s no official ban on discussing the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines or criticizing American involvement in the Ukraine-Russia war, but editors and journalists have realized that writing on such topics can come at a cost. News publishers have been demonetized and shadow-banned for reporting dissenting views and the bureaucratic means...

Before Archer even entered the US Capitol for his deposition, Rasmussen released a damning poll of likely voters on what they think of the Biden Crime Family. Sixty-percent of voters believe Joe Biden is involved in the scandal and that he is also part of the cover-up.
