President Trump has now edged to a one-point lead over Democratic nominee Joe Biden in the latest Rasmussen Reports’ weekly White House Watch survey.

The new national telephone and online survey finds the president with a 47% to 46% lead over Biden among Likely U.S. Voters. Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate, while four percent (4%) remain undecided. The race has narrowed over the past two weeks. Biden had a two-point lead last week, but that survey also marked the first time Trump had edged above 45% over...

Some Democratic city African-American Democrats, Angrily plan to vote Trump. The so called Black Lives Matter movement has been anything but this to them. Their jobs largely gone to Covid, then their businesses were burned and African-American lives then lost to the BLM/Antifa Marists have made them extremely angry, but say nothing lest they be beaten up. They know exactly who these people are after months and months of sieges and worse. Those who have been unable to flee are furious at the Democrat party for not protecting them and the media for not caring about their plight. From the...

On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) laid out the House GOP’s Commitment to America and said that on policing, they will invest $1.75 billion “for police training, community policing, teaching them when to use their weapon and what type of weapon to use.” And an additional 500,000 body cameras. McCarthy also accused Democrats of wanting to defund the police and stated, “We saw what happened on the streets of L.A.” McCarthy said, “We’re not going to defund the police. We’re actually going to add $1.75 billion for police training, community policing,...

President Donald Trump attacked Democrats as “heartless” for blocking coronavirus aid, including more stimulus payments for individuals. “Democrats are ‘heartless,'” Trump wrote on Twitter. “They don’t want to give STIMULUS PAYMENTS to people who desperately need the money, and whose fault it was NOT that the plague came in from China.”

Almost two-thirds of young American adults do not know that 6 million Jews were killed during the Holocaust, and more than one in 10 believe Jews caused the Holocaust, a new survey has found, revealing shocking levels of ignorance about the greatest crime of the 20th century. According to the study of millennial and Gen Z adults aged between 18 and 39, almost half (48%) could not name a single concentration camp or ghetto established during the second world war. Almost a quarter of respondents (23%) said they believed the Holocaust was a myth, or had been exaggerated, or they...

The national debt has reached levels not seen since the end of World War II, but Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is calling for a combination of spending increases and tax hikes that will require trillions of dollars of additional borrowing in the next 10 years. Biden is calling for more than $3 trillion in new taxes that would be imposed primarily on corporations and the wealthiest Americans. But two recent analyses of Biden's spending plans agree that his proposals would not come close to paying for themselves over 10 years. If enacted, Biden's plans would push federal spending to...

Trump answered her destroys any narrative the Left could conjure that calls him uncaring or a racist. Host George...

A survey of around 1,200 queer male Americans found that around 45 per cent – around 540 – plan to vote for Trump. Oh, no. As much as Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has netted an, albeit, slim majority of the queer male vote, securing 51 per cent, it signalled to pollsters how the president’s brand of bullish showmanship has roiled the political landscape. ndeed, the LGBT+ voting bloc has long been reliably Democratic. The poll conducted by queer dating app Hornet found that, overall among its users, around 66 per cent prefer Biden while 34 per cent support Trump....

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — Democratic leadership in the House rejected a bipartisan $1.5 trillion coronavirus aid proposal that includes a second round of $1,200 direct payments to Americans. The plan, unveiled by a group calling itself Problem Solvers Caucus, also included $500 billion for cities and states, unemployment insurance of $600 a week, increased SNAP benefits and rental assistance. A set of powerful Democratic committee chairs swung against the proposal saying it “leaves too many needs unmet” — a leadership effort that signals that the Problem Solvers bill is going nowhere. No. 2 House Democrat Steny Hoyer of Maryland said the...

Foxx and friends — including her patron, Cook County Democratic boss Toni Preckwinkle and Cook County Chief Judge Tim Evans — act as if they’re untouchable. Preckwinkle is so confident as party boss that she spearheaded a nonendorsement of respected Judge Michael Toomin in the election because he dared order a special prosecutor in Foxx’s Jussie Smollett alleged fake hate crime fiasco. Preckwinkle hopes voters won’t connect the dots. “It’s outrageous what’s being done to Judge Toomin,” retired Judge Sheila O’Brien, who pushed for a special prosecutor in the Smollett case, told me. “Preckwinkle should be ashamed. This is a...

The NFL is rife with social justice messaging to the point of being unwatchable, but there are a few bright spots. Some players refuse to cave to the Black Lives Matter domination over the league. One such player is Steelers offensive lineman Alejandro Villanueva.According to CBS News, the Steelers were directed to wear the name of Antwon Rose, Jr. on the back of their helmets after the team took a vote. Rose was a 17-year-old who was shot by police in the back as he ran away from a vehicle he was a passenger in. Police had pulled the car...

After deals with UAE and Bahrain, there are signs Saudi Arabia is preparing its people to warm to Israel. When one of Saudi Arabia's leading Muslim leaders called this month for Muslims to avoid "passionate emotions and fiery enthusiasm" towards Jews, it was a marked change in tone for someone who has shed tears preaching about Palestine in the past. The sermon by Abdulrahman al-Sudais, imam of the Grand Mosque in Mecca, broadcast on Saudi state television on September 5, came three weeks after the United Arab Emirates agreed upon a historic deal to normalise relations with Israel and days...

....this latest op-ed surely captures how the "woke" Left took over this section. We have some guy saying that even with a Joe Biden win in 2020, it “won’t cure his Trump-era depression.” These people are babies. They’re fragile. And when you’re this unspooled because of an election loss—you need to get a life. Seriously. For all of their lectures about privilege, it would seem liberals cannot take their own medicine, that being they think they’re entitled to win every election because…they went to college or something. They feel right on the issues. It’s pathetic. But this phrase in the...

A Milwaukee man has reportedly been arrested after pulling a gun on a mob of Black Lives Matter supporters who were surrounding his home for several hours. It is currently unclear who the man is or why the mob was at his house, but he did have a “Trump Train” flag hanging outside.

Democrat candidate for president, Joe Biden, suggests that no privately funded charter school will receive federal funding. However, Joe Biden should know one thing - that charter schools are actually public schools and they use federal money from the school district budget - at least that's what they do here. A privately funded school is typically called a "private school" hence the name. Here's what Joe Biden said, followed by commentary: "I will not — there will be no federal dollars — I’m not Betsy DeVos — nor will my, my Secretary of Education be anything like her in terms...

In July, the number of people murdered in New York City rose 59 percent compared to the same month last year, and shootings surged 177 percent. Overall, in the first six months of 2020, homicides rose 21 and shootings by 46 percent. Despite the mounting casualties, the New York Times prefers to focus elsewhere. “A Year of Heartbreak and Bloodshed at Fort Hood,” headlined a  September 9 NYT story by Manny Fernandez. The focus is Vanessa Guillen, 20, a military specialist authorities say was killed on base by a fellow soldier who later took his own life. As Fernandez explains,...
