Serious Times Serious Question
Latest Gallup polls
Democrats' Rating of Biden Slips; Overall Approval at 37%
Democrats’ rating fell 11 points to 75%, the lowest of Biden’s presidency
37% overall approval rating, down from 41% in September, matches record low
"WASHINGTON, D.C. -- President Joe Biden’s job approval rating among Democrats has tumbled 11 percentage points in the past month to 75%, the worst reading of his presidency from his own party. This drop has pushed his overall approval rating down four points to 37%, matching his personal low.
At the same time, Biden’s approval among independents has declined four points, to 35%, while Republicans’ rating remains unchanged, at just 5%.
After ranging from 49% to 57% during the first eight months of his presidency, Biden’s approval rating has been mired in the low 40s for much of the past two years. Including the latest 37% job rating and an identical reading in April, Biden’s approval has fallen below 40% four times in the 33 readings Gallup has taken since he took office.
Biden’s 11th-quarter average approval rating is worse than the same period’s rating for all but one of the 11 post-World War II U.S. presidents elected to their first term. Jimmy Carter’s 31.4% 11th-quarter average rating was recorded in 1979 during a nationwide energy crisis and high gas prices.
Five presidents registered majority-level 11th-quarter average approval ratings, ranging from 50.5% to 72.7%: Dwight Eisenhower, John Kennedy, Richard Nixon, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush. The other four presidents averaged 40.7% (Trump), 41.0% (Barack Obama), 44.4% (Ronald Reagan) and 46.4% (Bill Clinton)."

I have one question, no need to write a book to support the whys or why nots --- I am just curious, are you in the minority, do you support Joe Biden, are you willing to give him four more years?No, I won't give him four more years in the sense of getting my vote. However, you know from other dialogue who I will vote for at this stage in the game.
If Haley makes the ticket I will vote for her. If not I will vote for Teddy Roosevelt. Done deal!! Remember I am not loyal to either party as an independent or as they call it in California No Party Preference. That is an appropriate name in my book.
What are you going to think about our elections when a guy even the MSM is admitting can't top 40% approval ratings wins his re-election in a landslide?
So, you are not in that small minority that is still supporting Joe? (Just Kidding)
I don't think Biden could win the primary if the Dems stick someone else in. Which, I am pretty sure they will. I mean they can't keep Joe glued together much longer.
I mean just a few weeks ago I asked (as I have been since Biden walked into the WH) what next? Well, a second war was what was next... So could he top a Middle East War? I say oh yeah... Can't imagine what's next?Primaries?
No one is running except him and even if they were, they would be pushed aside like Bernie Sanders was, or character assassinated like Tulsi Gabbard was.
Didn't the Clinton - Sanders run in 2016 show you how it works?
To say nothing of how everyone just dropped out and let Biden have the nomination long before there was clear evidence America wanted him.
As for the continued escalating conflicts Biden seems to bring about, I predicted where this Administration was bringing us a long time ago.I am beginning to think Joe will drop out or we will see a couple of new people run against him. I just can't envision the Democratic Party trying to keep that ship afloat. I mean polls could not get much worse. While Trump's polls pretty much always remain the same --- could he beat Trump, if he continues to stay in the race? Which looks shakey at this point.
Would the party not want someone new who could beat Trump, if he is the guy?
I am hoping we see a miracle -- two new candidates running in 2024I can't believe they ever dragged him out of the basement and ran him from the get-go.
So I wouldn't get your hopes up that those who are making such decisions are going to see it any differently now.
In fact, I wouldn't be suprised if many of the string pullers think he is the best President they have ever had, unlike Obama who resisted some of their efforts, and Trump who resisted all of their efforts... clueless Joe just goes along with it all. Why not? Half the time the guy doesn't know where he is.I can't imagine that it controllers would stick with him. I feel that this bunch is losing ground, at this point quickly. I mean two wars, once again inflating is rising, and crime in all the major cities is up, not to mention the Bordees, and the chance this fool has let in terrorists.
What I am thinking, is Hillary was scheduled to take America down quickly, but Trump jumped in and gave many a look behind the curtain. Biden was their next hope --- But come on he may have sunk America pretty well, but many at this point are waking up to the mess, and are not liking what they see. Americans are resilient, and let's face it, most of us like what we have built. I think the grand plan has fizzled, and all that is left is the busted remains of a balloon lying in the mud.
The "new World Order" will have to do without its cash cow.Two wars... they wanted that, so that isn't a problem.
Inflation... not hurting them any, part of their plan to collapse the economic system and usher in CBDC.
Crime in cities... not a problem, will make the people beg for them to declare martial law and bring about "safety" for the people.
You view these issues as things they aren't bringing about... similar to the open border policy we have, it is by design.
All your points are why they will stick with Biden. He is doing what they want. The issue of the election or what the people want is irrelevant. Voters don't matter, its who counts the 'mail-in' ballots that matters.
I don't know about that, she was to continue to move toward their goals, she was to start the war with Russia.
Most people don't know that we had amassed more artillery, tanks, etc around the Russian/Ukraine borders back in 2016 than we had assembled for our effort against Iraq back in 91 the original Gulf War.
When Clinton did not win and Trump assumed command, he put that effort to bed.
Again, you are making the assumption that the people can/will do something, despite more becoming aware of what is going on.
What are they going to do... vote for Trump? That won't work, they will have him barred from being on the ballots, or sitting in jail.
I don't believe that is correct, they are sitting pretty much right where they want to be sitting. All they need to do is keep good ol' Joe alive for another 16 or 17 months and they are all set.Ken, I appreciate your perspective on the matter. It seemed like the plan was making progress until it encountered two major issues that are now at the forefront of most Americans' concerns: border security and inflation. Additionally, there's a prevailing perception of Joe's perceived weakness in various areas.
Plus --- as I always ask, What's next? I mean there will be a next, and his next gets worse as his term goes on. The last domino has not fallen. No, I don't think many Americans can stand much more, in my view.
You've made a series of valid points about their intentions, but it appears their misstep was in not fully considering what the majority of Americans would tolerate in the long run. While they came close to their goals, they fell short in the end. Many Americans cherish the values and freedoms the country offers and are not willing to see them eroded.
This period of our national development has been affected by what some perceive as excessive liberal policies. It seems that a majority of people have grown weary of these policies. While there is still a minority supporting them, it's heartening to see that more people are becoming grounded in their views.
Though challenges persist, it's increasingly apparent that their grand aspirations may no longer be achievable. The individual they chose as their leader seems to have played a role in their difficulties. It's possible that Old Biden has strayed from their original agenda. May have gone rogue on them.
I think social media is a good evaluator of what people are thinking, the left is not leaning so left any longer... Many are asking questions of one another, their sentiments are just not written in cement any longer. Just saying.The real difference between our perspectives then, is that you think the people will act. Act in some form that brings about significant change.
I don't see it.
I see a country of "weak men" and "old men".
For the record I fall into the latter category, in order to right the ship you need enough of the populace united and willing to fight, willing to risk it all to force change.
Often that takes desperation in the population to motivate such an effort.
You see such desperation in Gaza right now, those efforts as gruesome as they may be, are of a people who have decided their own deaths, as well as the brutal deaths of their "enemies" are necessary in their attempt to gain their freedom/independence.
You see something similar in the Ukraine/Russian conflict, while we are sympathetic to Ukraine, we ignore Russia's perspectives, to Russia the West marching up to the Russian border and aiding in the overthrow of the Ukrainian government, supporting extremist groups and politicians that identify with Nazism, is a serious threat to their existence.
For the Russians, this is a fight for their survival, for their freedom and independence, so that they do not become another "banana republic" of the West... like Iraq.
Americans won't have that type of determination until the majority are suffering, until they can no longer pay to put food in their bellies or can no longer speak their minds without fear of being arrested.
People tolerate the corruption they see in DC, they tolerate the ceaseless warring and destruction of other nations, because they still have a good life... how many tens of millions have everything provided for them by our government?
How many get free housing, food, healthcare and allowances... 30 million? 40 million?
The United States spent $1.3 trillion on welfare programs that provide food, housing and income to those in need in 2023.
When that no longer happens, when those programs are no longer funded, then change will be right around the corner.I've noticed a significant shift in the topics gaining traction on social media, and it seems like the prevailing sentiment is changing. Rather than a strong defense of the current administration, I'm observing more people expressing discontent and feeling the impact of the changes that have occurred during the Biden administration in the United States.
The majority, as reflected in recent polls, clearly demonstrates widespread disappointment with the Biden administration. It appears that the administration is grappling with multiple crises, and their responses seem to be inadequate. The next potential challenge could involve the repatriation of Americans from the ongoing Middle East conflict, which may well face difficulties similar to what we witnessed in Afghanistan.
I believe that there is a growing consensus among a substantial portion of the population that we need to correct the course, and this sentiment might continue to gain momentum as problems persist. Americans tend to value stability and the sense that "all is well," and it's disheartening that this feeling has eroded. I have never felt so disheartened and embarrassed by a President's performance. I am not alone...
Regarding the situation in Gaza, it does seem like a religious conflict where some are willing to become martyrs. It's unclear whether they are primarily seeking freedom or independence, as they appear more driven by a desire to reclaim the land they believe is rightfully theirs.
I concur with your thoughts on the Ukraine/Russia conflict.
Your observation about Americans often needing a level of discomfort to drive determination is thought-provoking. It's undeniable that the Biden administration has introduced a fair share of huge issues, leaving many feeling less content with their lives compared to just a few years ago.
The media's concentration on the war has indeed diverted attention from economic concerns. Economists are now discussing the possibility of a recession, and while this may be overlooked by the administration, it will undoubtedly impact "we the people."
Looking ahead to the 2024 election, it's highly likely that a significant majority will be eager for change out of sheer desperation.I wouldn't rely on social media sites to present in your feed a sense of public sentiment in fair and impartial means. Facebook, X, Instagram, and others use deep learning AI with their algorithms for your feed. They use your activity behavior not only on their site but with the search engine you use too.
Elements for the metrics used by the AI-influenced algorithms are:
** Who do you follow
** Who follows you
** Groups you belong to
** Article you read
** Time on articles you open
** Likes, shares, and comments on posts
** How long you are on the site and how many times a day
** And, again, what you do in search engine
** Plus, more
Consider, today, the programming of one's feed is what the hoopla of the algorithm's effect on teens is about.

As far as Biden goes as sad as it has become I have the unfortunate attitude, "We are stuck with him" until 2024". That does not mean I am discontent with everything he has initiated or put into effect, as I am not.
Personally, I think he partially is a victim in the sense that world events with their magnitude of effect on our nation were not within his control. How he reacted to them had both good and bad results. It is a matter of assessment based on one's values, principles, and belief system. Hopefully, those will guide the voter come 2024. I know they have my preference which you know.I have frequented Quoar and AOL chats, both are lively chats, with both sides represented. What I have seen over the last few months is a wide shift that indicates many Democrat supporters are dissatisfied with the party, as well as Biden. I put that together with the post, and it tells me at this point the Democratic party is in trouble. Yes, I have gotten to know users on both sites who are hell-bent on supporting Biden, but they are now in a small minority.
I am not sure if AI is affecting these chats. I stick to the live people I have been conversing with for years now.
I can't agree that Biden was not responsible for the major problems we are living with. I think I could lay a solid path in his decision-making that ended with a serious crisis at the end of that path. But, I think we have well discussed these issues here on the HP forum.
I actually can't see one true accomplishment this man has made. He has promised a lot, but just nothing he claims to have done has come to fruition. All fluff and puff. Here you see it now you don't...
I was introduced to that image when in college with a philosophy class. It has stuck with me my whole life especially when doing problem solving.
I ask if the light you shine is a conservative one. Nothing wrong with that as I see it, yet it matters to understand where a person is coming from, right? Yes, I, too, agree his inaction, improper actions, and flat-out blunders have put our nation at a disadvantage today.
However, as I see it he did do some actions that I believe were important such as infrastructure. The left with the light they shine may see progress. It is a matter of perspective. I try to use that image as a guide.I consider myself a conservative, with beliefs rooted in a set of core principles that I hold dear. I advocate for limited government involvement in our lives, emphasizing individual liberty and personal responsibility. I believe in the power of a free-market economy to foster innovation and prosperity, and I prioritize fiscal responsibility to ensure our country maintains a balanced budget. When it comes to social issues, I tend to align with traditional values. I approach social change with caution. I'm a firm believer in a robust national defense and am committed to upholding the rule of law and maintaining a strict interpretation of the Constitution.
I have watched all of the above be ravaged by this administration. So, I see no real value in keeping them in place and bringing the country down to its knees.Thank God and the authors of the Constitution we all are 'Privileged' to have the values and principles we hold dear and able to exercise our freedoms with liberty only confined by common sense and defined by that Constitution.
The Biden Administration is so far left it is catastrophic. I, too, believe in limited government. The government is far too intrusive in people's lives. I believe in individual liberty & definitely personal responsibility. Personal responsibility is Yakut nowadays. It is so much easier to blame the man or the system than to do some introspection as to the root of the problem.
The Democratic Party since 1965 has developed a nanny state in America. Government has become very intrusive with its inane social programs, particularly welfare which has made people entitled. I am of the old school here- work to earn your keep-no one is obligated to support GROWN, FUNCTIONING people. Yes, there should be a meritorious, free market capitalism. Of course, fiscal responsibility should be present.
Regarding social values, I am a Liberal. I believe in pro-choice, same sex marriage & many liberal causes. However, I am for law & order in terms of crime & punishment. I am a Liberal, not a Leftist. I am for America. Yes, it can be better but not the Leftist way. I am for social change but with logic. There are Liberal (the more extreme ones) who advocate change for the sake of change. That is called illogicality at its worst.That's a misconception.
The Biden Administration is corrupt, warmongering, NWO evangelist, even evil could be used to describe it, but "so far left" misses the mark.
The efforts to initiate, fund and escalate the war with Russia has nothing to do with being "left".
The Open Border policy has nothing to do with being "left".
Biden's EOs creating special protections and rights for Transgenders and Non-Binary people has nothing to do with "left".... because those EOs infringe upon the rights and protections of women and further the deconstruction of a cohesive society.
Left-wing politics aid those in society that are disadvantaged relative to others as well as a belief that there are unjustified inequalities that need to be reduced or abolished.
How does infringing upon women's rights and safe spaces, so that the 6'3 220 pound lunatic that wants to be a girl can compete in their sports, invade their privacy, and take priority over them equate to "left"?"How does infringing upon women's rights and safe spaces, so that the 6'3 220 pound lunatic that wants to be a girl can compete in their sports, invade their privacy, and take priority over them equate to "left"?"
Because it is all right to infringe on the rights of the general population (women in this case) in favor of a tiny group of people that declare themselves to be discriminated against when they want what no one else has. This is in line with what I think of as coming from the "left" - an almost total disregard for the average citizen in the country coupled with an almost unlimited concern for anyone that demands something the average person does not have.
There is some wisdom in that.
The US borrowing this quarter will amount $8.66 billion dollars a day.
The ongoing conflicts are escalating, threatening world war.
I don't care what light you shine on today's problems, they are all heading in the wrong direction under this Administration.It is TIME to halt spending. We should keep out of other's countries problems. They aren't our problems. We have enough problems already. Don't send money to them. Kick all the illegal migrants out of America. Cut governmental spending 70-90% unless it is for bare necessities. My God, a housewife w/10 children would be a better budget director.
Isolationism? How well has it worked out for the people of North korea?
It would be so hard to kick the illegal migrants out. The number that enters monthly is being ignored, much unreported, and numb minds are ignoring the problem at any rate. Here are the late numbers for --- hold onto your seat.
"The following statement was issued by Dan Stein, president of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), in response to today's release of Customs and Border Protection border encounters data for September:
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- "The release of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) nationwide encounters for September, FY 2023, shattered a record set just last year for the number of aliens encountered illegally entering our country. At the same time, September set the single-month record for border encounters breaking the previous record set in August. Yet, despite these staggering numbers, the Biden administration continues to insist that our borders are secure and the American public has no reason to be concerned.
"In total, there were 341,392 illegal aliens encountered in September, the highest monthly tally on record. Breaking down the numbers further, the number of migrants encountered crossing the southwest border illegally numbered 269,735 – an increase of nearly 40,000 over August. Encounters of family units jumped to 141,306, while the number of unaccompanied children stood at 13,809. These totals do not include 'gotaways,' which have averaged more than 50,000 per month during the first 32 months of the Biden administration.
"September also closed the books on FY 2023. Total encounters for the year were 3,201,144, an increase of nearly 500,000 over the previous year and a nearly fivefold increase over FY 2020, the last full year of the Trump administration. This exponential increase in illegal immigration makes it clear that it is the open-borders policies of the Biden administration that are driving this national crisis."

If Biden gets four more years we will no longer even be recognizable as America.sigh...
Adopted unanimously in 2015 by all UN Member States, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (2030 Agenda) shapes the direction of global and national development policies. It serves as the overall framework to guide global and national development action.
Trump was elected in 2016... so in America this, the Paris Accord/Agreement, Identity Politics was paused during Trump's presidency. Once Biden was put in, they kicked it into overdrive.
The 2030 Agenda, the Universal Declaration on Human Rights (UDHR), the international human rights treaties as well as other instruments such as the Declaration on the Right to Development (Para 10). There are NO NATIONAL CITIZEN RIGHTS, there are international rights universally applicable to all people in all countries, including both developed and developing countries. The 2030 Agenda is to be implemented in a manner consistent with international law (para 18) and international law TRUMPS National law and interests.
The Biden Administration does not follow the Constitution, it does not concern itself with what American citizens want, because they are not who or what matters. The UN, WEF, NWO, IMF, WB, what they decree is what matters... our federal government does not serve the people or the States, it serves International agencies and corporations.
America is not alone in this, the changes occurring are hitting harder and faster in Canada, Australia, and many other Western Nations.
Western Civilization, the concept of liberty, freedom, private property and sovereign rights are being wiped out right in front of our eyes. Most people cannot see it because they can only see the world, their politics in terms of Democrats and Republicans... National interests... those things are nothing but smoke, an illusion they need to maintain for a few years more.
Those that try and stand in the way of this transition will be removed, one way or the other... Trump is a good example of how far they are willing to go, and how much influence and control they have... from collective Social Media censorship to MSM unifying their message against him to the DOJ slamming him wherever they can over whatever they can cook up.

The financial backing for one of the world's most powerful non-governmental organizations. One which partnered with the UN (back in 2019 if memory serves correctly, right before the Pandemic) to marry the Great Reset goals to Agenda 2030.
Essentially what you have is the Western World's leaders, at the very least, uniting with the UN to pursue these goals, which in turn has partnered with the WEF which represents corporate and financial interests of the most powerful corporations in the world.
The goal is total control, over everything, over every aspect of the world and the lives of those who live in it. For the benefit of all, of course.
So... all this matters why?
Because they don't see the world in term of Nation States. They don't recognize the Rights of Citizens. No Borders... No preference to rights for citizens over non-citizens, these agreements do not recognize national sovereignty or the rights to property and privacy that you or I recognize and feel we have a right to.Here are the articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Preamble
Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,

If you read this whole thing, and then read all the following laws and agendas pertaining to it, much if which emanates from the UN, it makes the American government responsible for every person that crosses its borders, trumping the needs of its own citizens even.
Some people don't see a problem with that, some of those people are helping as many migrants reach/cross our borders as they can manage, which is why we have over 2.5 million migrants crossing every year now, a number that is only growing.
That's here.
In places like Japan, China, Saudi Arabia, etc. you can bet your retirement that they aren't allowing any outsiders in, not to stay, not any of those in need.
My bet is that those nations with closed borders will still have societies that are cohesive and functional in ten years time... while others won't be so lucky, and their streets and societies will be in chaos.
Sweden comes to mind as a good example of where this leads.
Ireland is catching up to Sweden fast, you see it better in these countries with small populations but eventually it will be the same in France, Germany, etc.
I find it challenging to dispute most of your points. However, I wonder if Americans would readily accept the idea of the New World Order without putting up a fight. Recent polls indicate widespread dissatisfaction with the nation's trajectory, particularly concerning the economy, which is unsurprising.
In my view, the majority of Americans will steer the nation back on course, much like they did by choosing Trump in 2016. Having experienced four years without decisive leadership, people are now drawing comparisons between the Trump and Biden eras. While the Democrats attempted to push their ambitious agenda, it seems they have fallen short. I mean have we ever witnessed such a weak nothing of a president? I don't feel many want to have this form of leadership.
As for the UN, they often come across as mere talking heads and command little respect, especially in America. I was disappointed that Trump could not fulfill his promise to relocate their headquarters out of the US. It's a move many wish had materialized.
In the face of a threat to our freedoms, I believe Americans would fiercely resist any encroachment.OK... well consider how many times I have brought this to your attention.
How many times, in how many threads, have I given the links, have I mentioned the WEF, Agenda 2030, have explained why you see millions being taken in from the borders.
Have you accepted these facts yet? Have you researched them?
Probably not, or we would not still be at this level of discussing them.
Do you think 99% of Americans have been exposed to what I am saying as you have been?
Do you think they are discussing these things as I am with you, that they are given links to explore these facts?
I doubt it. As I say, few Americans recognize what is going on, or why.
This is largely by design, it is a mostly bloodless transition from a relatively free society, an enlightened society, to a socialist corporatist tyranny that we are going through.
The ones that will truly be enslaved to this new world order, are the ones you see protesting in the streets to bring it into existence, they have bought into the Social Justice, Identity Politics, Progressive politics of today.
They have been filling the ranks of our government agencies and military for over a decade now. If necessary, they will be deployed against America more forcefully than they have, right now their efforts have remained largely through covert means, through the FBI, DOJ and MSM and SM efforts.
The transition is occurring slowly enough that Americans will not rise up, they meander through it until it is too late to do anything about it, until there are too few willing to do so.
Well this will be the test of our system in 2024, won't it?
The same laws and regulations that allowed for 'Mail in Ballots' to alter the course of the 2020 election are still in effect in all the same swing states, nothing has changed, they will impact 2024 just as they did 2020.
So, it is my belief that even if 80 million people were to come out and vote for change in 2024... even if Trump is somehow still alive, not in prison, and on the ballots... and he is crushing it at the end of the night on Nov 5, 2024.
You will have plenty of time allowed for the millions of "Mail in Ballots' to come in, and of course they will be 95% in favor of Biden, and there will be just enough of them to give him the win... just like 2020.
They would have to recognize it as such.
That is giving them a lot of credit. I don't see it.
I see a bunch of people convinced that Trump is the next Hitler, that he will bring about WWIII, that he will declare martial law, etc. ... of course, he didn't do any of those things during his 4 years in last time, but they are convinced he will do it, despite that fact.
Remember... for a growing amount of Americans... facts don't matter. Feelings matter. Feelings trump facts... and the MSM media has convinced many Americans that Trump is evil... he hurts their feelings.Ken,
While I don't dispute the existence of "their great plan," it seems that a significant portion of the American population remains unaware or unprivileged to partake in this grandiose scheme. Despite the orchestrated agenda of the New World Order, a considerable majority of Americans seem to reject the leftist narrative, expressing dissatisfaction from both ends of the political spectrum.
In the eyes of most Americans, the evaluation of any administration revolves around its impact on their personal lives. The prevailing sentiment is one of discontent, evident in the uproar among parents concerning their children's exposure to controversial topics in schools and colleges. Even major donors are withdrawing their support from educational institutions, signaling a rejection of extreme leftist ideologies.
Furthermore, the discontent extends to issues like the hyperfocus on gender-related matters and the escalating costs affecting daily life, from food to various commodities. The blatant government overreach is becoming increasingly apparent, and the ambitious Green Deal is facing abandonment due to dissatisfied big industry players concerned about its economic implications.
In times of adversity, Americans historically push back, and current indicators suggest a shifting tide not only among young voters but also within traditionally aligned demographics such as blacks and Latinos, as reflected in recent polls.
Reflecting on history, it appears that the grand world plan has once again faltered, as liberal ideologies have risen and fallen cyclically. The pattern suggests that these ideologies often evolve, with proponents abandoning failed causes for new ones. It remains to be seen whether the current discontent will prompt a reevaluation of the prevailing agenda, as has happened throughout our history. I feel Leftists are like Roomba, when they hit a wall, they deflect and move to another part of the room.
I agree that the 2024 election will stand to share the mindset of the majority. Hey, perhaps we will become just another EU Nation. The grand experiment will end with a whimper.I agree with your points, I do understand this, the vast majority pay attention to how things are impacting their own lives, and little else.
This has been the key to the Media's ability to pull the wool over so many eyes still, to this day. Few go looking for facts, and when they turn to the MSM and see Trump being blamed for everything... well there you go, that must be the reason why their lives suck, the "news" wouldn't lie to them, right?
The younger generations turn to TikTok influencers and whatever else is out there, I can only imagine. Which is why we see LGBTQ+ pink haired activists marching in NY to support Hamas... Hamas = oppressed, so Hamas = good.
Its not just "their great plan"... this is the UN... this is the WEF which I showed, consists of the vast majority of International corporations... we are talking more than HALF the world's wealth concentrated to make this a reality.
Its not just Bill Gates or Soros' Open Society, or Google, or Facebook... its all of them, united in the WEF, which is united with the UN.
That's not going away, that's not being changed by some people going to vote, for a guy that they won't allow on the ballots, that they will jail, or kill.
Like I said, the changes they made to the 2020 election to allow for "Mail In Ballots" to come in a week after the election, with no reliable means of verifying their legitimacy, are still on the books for the 2024 election.
You have a Banana Republic controlled by outside forces not beholden to or concerned with America, Americans or the Constitution. They have the money, the power, the position... Americans will not wake up to this, if they ever do, until it is too late.
Because, as you say, they aren't really paying attention, and when they do, too many Americans accept whomever the MSM tells them to blame.I can't engage in a debate about your perspectives as they closely align with mine. I'm hopeful for a collective awakening, especially among Americans, who possess a unique character. I believe common sense will prevail. I agree that 2024 will likely reveal whether the majority follows blindly.
The current situation appears quite grim, given the challenges caused by Biden. It seems evident, and one would need to be oblivious not to recognize the signs. Monitoring various social media platforms reveals widespread dissatisfaction among liberals toward Biden and the Democratic party. Within my own social circle, many of my liberal friends have distanced themselves, feeling uneasy about the serious issues that have unfolded during this administration.Do you really believe the younger generation buys into Trump's authoritarian, autocratic rhetoric? Do they really relate to calling people vermin who need to be rooted out and have their existence stomped out? Maybe the youth of 1939.
Probably not. Instead they buy into the leftist rantings that they are not at fault for their own actions, that someone else is always to blame. They buy into the rants that the world owes them whatever it is they want, from food to nice cars. They buy into the rant that they are not responsible for themselves; that government must supply whatever they want. The list goes on and on...and it all ultimately points to the youth of today deciding that someone else is responsible for them, for their actions, their wants, their desires and their needs. Never themselves.
Trump did not follow that train of thought, with the result that they do not wish to hear him, do not wish to hear anyone supporting Trump's basic philosophy and will do whatever they can to shut down that ugly voice telling them that they are responsible for themselves.Opinions expressed are obviously your own but I think a lot of research lately shows us that the younger generation by almost a third, thinks of themselves as independent voters, focusing on issues rather than assigning themselves mindlessly to a party. I think they're on to something. For real change to happen, for politicians to actually be held accountable will need the older folks to get out of their bubbles
Not sure what the youth think of other people and whether they are responsible for themselves - perhaps they care, perhaps they think no one is responsible for their own actions.
But whichever, they will be responsible for their votes...until their winning candidate messes up. Then it will change and that same youth that touted his(her) vote will deny they are responsible for putting that thing into office.That last paragraph may be more insightful than you intended.
The young people who voted for Biden, many obviously voted on his promises, on what they projected into Biden and the Democrats.
I wonder how many of those voters have been turned off by Biden's efforts to engage Russia in a war, sending Ukraine hundreds of billions, how many hold his actions with Israel/Palestine against him, how many blame him for what has easily been a 30% loss of dollar value that has occurred in the last 3 years (aka - Inflation).
Biden had a clean slate in 2020... Biden had the support of Obama who still is very popular with younger voters, even more so 4 years ago.
Biden now has all the baggage with him of the last 3 years and he is still adding to it. Biden will be running against the good memories Americans have of 2017-2019 ... Pre-Pandemic ... Pre-Biden.
Probably the best thing anyone has done for Trump's re-election is essentially silence him. He is so busy running from court room to court room on the trumped up charges they create against him, he has little time to say much that might remind people of how offensive he can be.
On another note, you might find this interesting:
https://americasdigitalshield.org/
It is supposedly a “public data dashboard” that shows how Big Tech giants like Google, Bing, and Yahoo are manipulating online content to influence votes in the elections"Probably the best thing anyone has done for Trump's re-election is essentially silence him."
Now that's a thought that had not occurred to me, but one that likely carries a good bit of truth. Trump's silence can only be good for him - he still offends me every time he opens his mouth. It's just his method of delivery that offends - much of the time he is spot on with the message.
I don't think much of your link, though. Without a description and explanation of exactly what they mean they are nearly worthless to me. For example, one graph says that a .4 bias is "extreme liberal" - that doesn't even make sense.
I do find that the underlying idea, that these things are deliberately promoting the liberal viewpoint at the expense of any conservative thought, is dead on. I very seldom get conservative viewpoints from google (or Bing, which I use more), and it's enough to be very visible.
In your first sentence, ". . . the younger generation . . ." needs some definition. The current 'younger generation' (17 - 30?) appears to have very distinct segments, just as the 'older generation' does.
If they follow the generally used political division numbers (35% Democrat, 35% Republican, and 30% Independent (and 'other'), there might be a large part of that generation that would be receptive to the description of your first sentence.
Marching in the streets is one thing, voting is another.
[EDIT ADDED] That reads as being nitpicky. The point was that (possibly) close to half of this generation might be receptive to some degree of authoritarian messaging.
Without jumping to the extremes that will be presented, that might not be a bad thing.
GA
Not true at all.
He promised to have America rejoin the Global Compact on Migration, whether you realize it, whether his Administration tells it straight or not, they have. There are several million more people in America today that can attest to it.
He promised to rejoin the Paris Agreement (Paris Climate Accords) and he has done that, many hundreds of billions spent, many regulations put back in place that Trump had relaxed.
He promised to push Progressive agendas and has, he has signed plenty of EOs giving special rights and protections to Transgenders, Non-Binary, etc. etc.
I could go on, the man said what he was about, and the Administration has gone about and done it. Now, agreeing that those are good things for America, or that you like how they have impacted America, that is another thing entirely.Yes, I could also add to the list... It would appear some with left ideologies would be pleased with all you mentioned. Me, not so much --- LOL
It is clear Biden and his crew are pushing a New One World Order... Not buying into that --- I like America and have no aspirations to become part of the EU.
"When that no longer happens, when those programs are no longer funded, then change will be right around the corner."
That is why so many are anxious to keep Trump and Republicans out, so we do not need to get to that corner.That too is a matter of perspective... some feel it is high time for change in the country, for the better of not just Americans, but the world.
Others are happy to support the status quo, the endless wars and destruction, the corruption, politicians serving the corporations not the people, etc.
What is the definition of insanity?
https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2 … p-reagan-/
"There have been 317 criminal indictments under three recent Republican presidents and only three indictments under three recent Democratic presidents."Do any of you care about ethical behavior and the lack of it in GOP administrations historically?
Certainly, it's important to acknowledge that the history of any political party is complex and multifaceted. While there have been moments in the history of the Republican Party where ethical behavior was called into question, it's equally essential to highlight instances where the party has shown a commitment to ethical governance. The GOP has a very rich history of promoting values like limited government, individual liberty, and free-market principles, which are rooted in the belief in ethical and transparent governance. Regarding history -- need I mention figures like Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, and Dwight D. Eisenhower, who were prominent Republicans, have left legacies associated with strong moral leadership. It's vital to recognize that the GOP, like any political party, has had its share of challenges, but focusing solely on shortcomings does not do justice to the broader historical context. Ethical behavior and the lack of it in GOP administrations should be examined with a balanced perspective that takes into account the full scope of the party's history.
"Ethical behavior and the lack of it in GOP administrations should be examined with a balanced perspective that takes into account the full scope of the party's history."
Now that's a tap dance!Biden Guilty On all Charges
Rep. Virginia Foxx, (R-N.C) said, “The sequence of events that led to the firing of Viktor Shokin, and the subsequent comments by then-Vice President Biden, raise serious concerns as to what machinations were really at play — and were purposefully concealed from the American people. No matter how you slice Hunter Biden’s involvement, it screams public corruption at the highest levels and must be fully investigated.”
Rep. Clay Higgins (R-Louisiana) added, “The calm, judicious, steady reveal of incredibly condemning evidence that clearly incriminates the Biden crime family will eventually alarm even the most ardent supporters of this WH occupier.”
‘Our president is compromised, he should resign and be forever condemned, and the Democrat Party should begin rebuilding itself.”
“Everything we are uncovering points to Hunter Biden using his name and his father’s position to get rich,” said Rep. William Timmons (R-S.C.).
“It’s bribery — and it is both wrong and illegal. House Democrats, the legacy media, and even top brass at the FBI and DOJ failed to do their job and investigate all the literal and figurative smoke that clouds Hunter Biden. House Republicans will do our job and uncover the truth.”
Beginning on January 20, 2011, then-Vice President Joe Biden wrote a personal letter to Archer to thank him for the business opportunity. The smoking-gun evidence has been analyzed and authenticated.
“What was he thanking you for?” political commentator Tucker Carlson asked.
“It was kind of the beginning of our partnership, and he was thanking me and thanking Hunter,” Archer said. “I think, at the end of the day for bringing this idea of this government regulatory strategic advisory business into the private equity world. And I think he was excited about the prospects for Hunter, and he was just thanking me. I think it was a nice gesture.”
Archer testified at the House Oversight Committee and confirmed that Hunter put his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, on speakerphone while meeting with business partners at least 20 times. “Archer described how Joe Biden was put on the phone to sell ‘the brand,'” Archer explained in his testimony.
Archer’s testimony is corroborated by Hunter Biden’s texts and emails. In 2019, a text message from Hunter to his daughter revealed that his father, Joe Biden, takes half of Hunter’s business salary stemming from their work together. This illegally and unethically exploited Biden’s power and position while working as vice president in the Obama administration.
In another text message, Hunter used the messaging system “WhatsApp,” on July 30, 2017 to send a threatening text to Hery Zhao, CEO of Harvest Fund Management. In the bombshell text, Hunter said he was “sitting here” with his father “and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled.”
The damning evidence clearly indicates President Biden’s involvement in his son’s international bribery scheme. IRS Criminal Supervisory Special Agent Gary Shapley Jr., who oversaw the agency’s investigation into Hunter Biden, released this information to the American people after it had been hidden for years.
“Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight,” Hunter Biden wrote. “And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father,” he said.
Hunter texted a Chinese businessman named named Gongwen “Kevin” Dong asking for $10 million because the Biden family is best at “doing exactly what the chairman wants.” This text corresponds to a separate email on Hunter’s laptop about the Biden family’s venture with CEFC. The deal notoriously included “10 held by H for the big guy.” The “big guy” refers to Joe Biden and “10” refers to $10 million.
The “chairman,” as Hunter Biden referenced, was CEFC’s chairman Ye Jianming. Ye paid Hunter a $1 million retainer fee for legal services in 2017. Ye also reportedly gave Hunter a large diamond in February 2017 worth an estimated $80,000.
In the message dated August 3, 2017, Hunter told Kevin Dong, “I am tired of this Kevin. I can make $5M in salary at any law firm in America. Very simple, 10 M per annum budget to use to further the interest of the JV. This move to 5M is completely new to me and is not acceptable obviously. If you think this is about money it’s not,” Hunter added. “The Bidens are the best I know at doing exactly what the chairman wants from this partnership … let’s not quibble over peanuts.”
After seeing the evidence, there is only one logical conclusion: It’s time to impeach Joe Biden.
It’s up to House Speaker Mike Johnson to bring an impeachment of President Biden for taking bribes and selling out the country. An impeachment inquiry by the House would be a first step toward bringing articles of impeachment. The indisputable and mounting evidence should be convincing to any objective American citizen that Biden is guilty of corruption.Thank you! The time has come for the House to bring an impeachment trial. It has become more than ridiculous to see the evidence pile up against Biden and his family --- much of what is only lightly being reported because of the war in Israel. Which Biden has contributed to by providing Iran with tons of oil cash...
Biden in my view, is guilty of treason. Sorry, but he is bought and paid for by many foreign leaders. It sickens me to see this man in the White House.Biden, Clinton, the whole bunch, as corrupt and callous as they come.
The damage has been done now, its not like the half-million dead Ukrainians can get their lives back, or the ten million displaced Ukrainians can go back home.
The Middle East will be in flames, adding to the places America has already destroyed there, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, with more to come.
They "borrowed" trillions just to get thru last year... we will spend roughly a trillion dollars next year just on the Debt's interest payment. ... just... the... interest.
And we will be supporting roughly 10 million new Americans by the time his 4 years is up, that's ok, we'll just borrow a few billion more, the border really is a minor problem when considering the whole of the Biden Administration's efforts.
“This may be the most dangerous time the world has seen in decades,” JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon said in a statement that accompanied the bank’s recent earnings release.
Frederick Kempe, CEO of the Atlantic Council said at CNBC Global Evolve on Thursday that many CEOs he talks with are increasingly worried about China, Russia and the Middle East. "Geopolitics is coming into the boardroom in a way it hasn't in my lifetime."
COVID, a "sloppy" withdrawal by the U.S. government in Afghanistan which weakened the U.S. standing in the world, Biden's subsequent decision not to negotiate with Russia which facilitated Putin to invade Ukraine and the need to move entire businesses out of Russia, and now the outbreak of war between Israel and Hamas.
The Biden Administration's failings have strengthened bilateral relationships between adversaries of the U.S like China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea and they are bringing many countries into their sphere of influence, pulling them away from America.
These countries are working together more closely than Kempe has ever seen before, and although they may not be plotting against the U.S. specifically, they are aligned in not wanting the U.S. "to run the global system any longer," he said.
Kempe's greatest anticipated peril is a move by China against Taiwan, which would have devastating impacts to the global economy due to China's prominence in the world markets.
And this is what I expect, Biden's continued disastrous foreign affairs will lead to China acting in some manner which will trigger the collapse of the global economic system and the dollar's place in it, subsequently destroying our economy overnight.
I have a question of my own... is it OK for Trump to be removed from the ballots?
Is it right for a judge to determine whether a former President can run for the Presidency again?
https://twitter.com/LauraLoomer/status/ … 2717851712are you in the minority, do you support Joe Biden, are you willing to give him four more years?
NO
is it OK for Trump to be removed from the ballots?
NO
Is it right for a judge to determine whether a former President can run for the Presidency again?
NOJeez, you didn't have to write a book in response.
George Soros is funding the Keep-Trump-Off-the-Ballots efforts.
What's in it for HIM?I would imagine the continued degradation of social norms and cohesion.
He is a great advocate for 'Open Borders' a nation-less world.
The problem is his "good intentions" only seem to work in open or "free" societies, where the damage is allowed to go on unchecked as it is disguised by calling it "rights" or "progression" or made into law.
Much like his support of DAs that then go on to NOT prosecute criminals allowing for crime to escalate until businesses and people flee, as we see in places like Portland, San Fran, and states like CA and NY.
Unfortunately, his efforts don't work in authoritarian nations that don't allow its citizenry the freedoms to deconstruct their society or nation.
So ultimately, the real benefactors of efforts by Soros and the other too wealthy lunatics like him, will be nations like China.
When Jack Ma, founder/owner of Alibaba (China's equivalent of Amazon) started publicly criticizing China's regulators and banks and calling for more freedoms in general, poof, they made him disappear for a while, put him under the CCP thumb so to speak.
They don't play that game. Ma and Alibaba were ordered by Chinese regulators to sell off certain media companies, including Hong Kong's South China Morning Post.
People like Soros will have no impact on nations like China, he can only harm those nations which allow the worst elements to foment discontent and destabilization within. Like the US and most Western nations.
What's in it for everyone who is determining to put this potential president in jail?
President Trump does not have to even bother with this nation who has done and is doing him so wrong. Yet he fights on.
He took no money for being president (except a dollar a day.) He took no money from foreign governments. He did all for the percolation of the economy for the PEOPLE, the rightful CITIZENS!JFK and Hoover both donated all their salaries. So Trump is not unique in that manner. Also, he made money off his properties by being president. He didn't divest his business interests.
His family made money off it. Not him. Who would divest their business interests? Would you?
What's the problem with business interests? Did Washington stop selling cotton while he was president? What is the problem with earning profits during one's tenure as president of a country?????
No one is discussing Trumps uniqueness: "JFK and Hoover both donated all their salaries." So what?If he did not divest his business interests, then he made money. Otherwise is illogical. It doesn't matter if his sons ran the businesses or not. Trump owned the businesses.
An asset is a resource with economic value that an individual or corporation owns or controls with the expectation that it will provide a future benefit. A business is an asset.
The following presidents divested their assets - Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush.
Frankly, I don't care if he did or not!!! It is simply a matter of being factual.
You were inferring Trump was unique with the statement he donated his salary. I merely pointed out he isn't.I was inferring that Trump is not the greedy person people say.
https://hbr.org/2008/10/how-the-best-divest
President Obama was in the same situation at this point. He got re-elected. The American people have not given Trump the most votes twice already - when he wasn't even indicted once. Seriously.
I don't recall a time when Obama was incapable of stringing together coherent sentences.
Nor do I recall Obama opening up a major war that we were spending hundreds of billions on... he was stuck inheriting a lot of economic woes and wars, and he got a pass on them because they weren't of his making.
Biden has created the mess we are in (his neocon/looney-toons Administration helps him with that) ... Inflation due to his 6.7 Trillion dollar spending spree last year alone... his determination to war on Moscow's doorstep... his agitating China, Iran, former allies like Saudi Arabia.
Biden is a f'n disaster of epic proportions the like of which we have never seen in ANY president in living memory.
That we aren't knee deep in a world of sh!t far worse than we are is testament that the American Empire can survive even the most incompetent and nihilistic leadership... as least for a while.
But the pillars holding the empire up are about to crumble, the Theodosian Walls of Constantinople are about to cave in, all hell could break out... Biden just needs a little more time. Well, those controlling what he says and does do.
Fun fact, I saw a "news report" about Trump showing up at a college stadium and getting booed.
I thought that was interesting, so instead of taking the articles word for it, I went looking for a clip.
https://rumble.com/v3xypss-college-stad … ina-m.html
Once again, I have to consider that to the Progressive, Identity Politics, types they may have heard booing... but I'm pretty sure that crowd was stoked to see him. And if that is the case, that a stadium full of young, not so politically active people are cheering for Trump... maybe there is hope.Not only thrilled but have you observed the enthusiastic young faces cheering and giving thumbs up? It's truly enjoyable when Trump connects with the people.
When someone is indoctrinated, accepting the truth becomes challenging, even when their own ears can discern it.
Leftists tend to believe what the media feeds them... quite amusing, isn't it? The Biden polls reveal a lot. I wonder every week—what's next? His own karma seems to be dooming him.
I really feel he has gone rogue at this point, "they" may have lost control over him. I mean he is toast in regard to the 2024 election, and he seems hell-bent on running.Temper your hopes, they will still probably throw him in jail, or do worse to him. I expect more than one State to keep him off the ballots and give their delegates to Biden regardless of what the voters want.
Also remember, the changes they made to the 2020 election, and the unconstitutional and reprehensible mailing out of ballots to voters (with no way of verifying who filled them out or how many each voter received) are still in effect. They can easily create a few million "votes" well after election night is over to flip states like PA and GA again.
