Well, maybe "shocking" isn't the correct term given that we're dealing with hypochondriac, authoritarian leftists drunk with power. Still, when nearly half the members of the ruling political party literally want to see unvaccinated people digitally tracked and forced into "designated facilities," it's definitely cause for concern. ..."

I didn’t like the way he spoke about Hispanics or people in general,” he said.

A new Politico/ Morning consult poll finds a dismal 21% strongly approve of President Biden’s job performance. Meanwhile, a much larger 40% strongly DISAPPROVE of Biden’s performance. Biden claimed earlier this month that his horrific approval rating is because Americans are getting “inaccurate information” about “their situation” and are “being told that Armageddon’s on the way.” During a recent segment of “The View” exploring why Biden’s message is not getting across, co-host Joy Behar argued the media is to blame for not portraying Biden as a winner.

There’s a rule of thumb in politics on right-track, wrong-track. If you get down to around a third right track, two-thirds against you, that’s too big a headwind. That’s what we had in ’16 when I stepped in, I said hey, it’s two-thirds, one-third under Obama. She’s [Hillary’s] done.

This is worse than when Nixon was walking out to the helicopter. These are unprecedented numbers. Talk about killing the crib. Eviscerated. This administration...

Plummeting polls are sending a clear message to the Biden administration, but the president is deaf, dumb and blind to it. And it’s not just the polls. Take congressional retirements. Democrats who chair congressional committees, reading the grim poll numbers, figure life will be a lot more comfortable as highly paid lobbyists than as powerless minority members. They are retiring in droves. Historically, retirements by well-informed insiders are strong predictors of the next House majority. Local elections are sending the same message. They tell Democrats they have moved too far left and that voters’ quality of life is suffering. Voters...
