NORTH CONWAY. N.H.—Vivek Ramaswamy isn’t making much of a dent in the polls yet, but judging from the audience reaction at a packed Masonic lodge in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, it won’t be long. Everyone was paying close attention. There was no sense in the room of skepticism over why this 37-year-old guy—out of nowhere and standing there with his doctor wife—had the temerity to run for president. They got it. He had done his homework and then some. Several people during the lengthy question session prefaced theirs with “I voted for Trump but I’m going to vote for you.” Others...

President Biden’s approval rating has ticked up following the 2022 midterm elections, but remains lower than it was at this time last year. CNN’s December survey found 46 percent said they approve of the job Biden is doing as president, up from 41 percent in late October. Last year, 49 percent of those surveyed said they approved of the president’s job performance, but his rating has been steadily below that number since December 2021. Respondents rated Biden lower on economic issues than overall job performance, with 36 percent expressing approval for the president’s leadership of the economy. Thirty-three percent of...

A new poll shows Gov. Kathy Hochul with a big lead over Republican rival Lee Zeldin (R-Suffolk) despite a plurality of New York voters saying they have an unfavorable view of the Democratic incumbent ahead of the Nov. 8 election. Just 36% of respondents had a positive opinion of Hochul, compared to 41% unfavorable – but she had a 54% to 39% lead over Zeldin, according to data compiled by Public Policy Polling on behalf of her political allies. Zeldin, her conservative challenger, has come within single digits in two GOP-friendly surveys in recent weeks, with others showing her lead...

Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-OR) promotes conspiracy hoax that Trump is “trying to tear apart our Postal Service” and people need to defend “every mailbox in America.” What with the conspiracy theories about how President Trump is allegedly using the USPS to steal the election reaching peak stupid on social media, in newsrooms, and in the murky fever swamps of MSNBC and CNN, one Oregon Democrat hatched a plan Tuesday to out-virtue signal all other Democrats about how he was willing to take drastic measures in order to protect the postal service. Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-OR) posted a video to his...

If you agree like me you are very frustrated with the GOP senators. Say what you want, if this was the Democrats, he would have been confirmed already. Whether you agree with them or not, they stick to their convictions. The GOP wants to bend over backwards to show they are pro-woman when they already are. The Democrats accuse them of these things and they take the bait. IF Kavanaugh is NOT confirmed, we are going to face a wipeout in Nov like we have never seen. They are being played like fiddle and they seem to be the only...

One soldier's deconstruction of the current Democratic National Committee/Kerry for President/MSM's propaganda campaign against America/Commander-in-Chief ("We hate President Bush...)/American Troops in Harm's Way(...but, we support the troops"- common sense dictates that simultaneously attacking the CinC and undermining the war effort can hardly be construed as supporting the troops)
