It’s worth noting that not only did the Republican’s financial victory haul happen with the media’s thumb placed firmly on the political scale in favor of Democrats, it also happened despite Democrats’ having the bully pulpit. President Biden can own the news cycle if he chooses to and possesses the biggest and loudest megaphone in the world. But for last month, much of that rhetoric fell on deaf ears.
Let’s first consider that amount for a moment. That’s an 8-figure haul for Biden over the course of six years working for the corrupt Ukrainian firm Burisma and the equally corrupt Ye Jianming, who was CEO of the Chinese oil and natural gas company CEFC and who was charged with “economic crimes” by Chinese officials in 2018.
Additionally, Disney’s programming has been noticeably drifting leftward for years, and when a video was discovered in late March showing a top executive discussing their “not so secret gay agenda” and “adding queerness” in their push for LGBTQ indoctrination. Many Americans have had enough of Disney’s activism, and when we add all these factors together, we have a recipe for Disney disaster.
Another trait that Trump Sr. seems to have passed on to his son is political instincts. Forgiving student debt is a bad idea politically. Really bad. For those who will benefit from the scheme, they’ll likely be happy and will vote for Biden. But chances are, they were going to vote for Biden anyway. White college educated women, for instance, vote overwhelmingly for Democrats with polls showing the number at 62%.
When it was announced last month that the Musk buyout deal to acquire Twitter was approved, many of us on the right rejoiced. Finally, some sanity amongst the Big Tech giants, we thought, as we considered the impact that such a deal would have on free speech and the reprehensible censorship of conservatives. But Musk’s announcement on Friday is significant, and it makes us wonder.
The Biden Administration has denounced Griner’s detainment. Many on the left have come to her defense and demanded her release. But those demands have fallen on deaf ears because Griner isn’t in America, the country she loves to disrespect. She’s in Russia, which isn’t as understanding and open-minded to substances such as cannabis. Russia never got the memo that they should go soft on substance abuse and recreational marijuana.
According to Outkick, the NBA will have multiple preseason games held in Abu Dhabi, which is in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and the move makes sense from a financial standpoint. The UAE is a relatively untapped market for the league, and it has quite a bit of wealth. Expanding their fan base in the Middle East, particularly in a nation with so many folks driving Lamborghinis and Ferraris, could prove to be very lucrative.
Middleton, as it turns out, was closely involved with Bill Clinton’s interactions with late billionaire Jeffrey Epstein. Of the 17 confirmed instances that Epstein is known to have visited Clinton in the White House while in office, it was Middleton who arranged Epstein’s admittance for seven of those meetings. Middleton himself had also flown on Epstein’s ‘Lolita Express.’
Tubbs’ transgressions became a national story earlier this year after he was sentenced for the 2014 sexual assault of the young girl. Even though Tubbs is now 26 years old, he was sentenced as a juvenile, and even though he’s a biological man, he was incarcerated with girls. Additionally, he was only sentenced to two years behind bars, which brought swift backlash to far-left, soft-on-crime District Attorney George Gascon.
Children are clearly at a disadvantage when left to make life-changing decisions on their own. According to multiple studies, the human brain is still developing until at least age 30. It is for this reason that laws prohibiting the consumption of alcohol and cannabis prior to age 18 makes so much sense. It’s why the age of sexual consent being 16 is not only prudent, it may be too young.
Finally, when we consider the context of these poll results, the sting for Democrats worsens. According to polling about prioritizing political issues in the U.S., immigration falls in the middle of the pack. Immigration is still important to Americans, even though it’s not as highly prioritized as it was when Donald Trump was elected in 2016. But that’s because issues that are even more problematic for Democrats have surged.
The Chinese could care less about racial equity and they’re probably putting their own transgender folks into concentration camps along with the Uighurs, and they undoubtedly love the idea of potentially facing a bunch of fat, out-of-shape American soldiers. The Iranians are still laughing at us over Afghanistan and they don’t even allow their women to leave the house without a veil, and rest assured, they’re high-fiving each other as they watch this nonsense.
If Twitter had just been sold to Elon Musk, does anyone doubt that Adams’ account might have been suspended already? If President Joe Biden’s recently declared Ministry of Truth was up-and-running already, does anyone doubt that the regime would be hammering Adams for his ‘disinformation?’ And would any of us be shocked to learn of the woke mob coming after Adams by way of advertisers to have him and Dilbert shutdown in as many outlets as possible?
According to Bloomberg News, shares of Disney stock this year have dropped by a remarkable 28% as of Friday, only one-third of the way through the year. As Breitbart explains, 23.5% of that decline has come since the beginning of March, around the time when Disney CEO Bob Chapek inexplicably decided to bow to the wokesters in his company and pick a fight with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
So, as bad as Biden is doing, it’s the numbers relating to the Congressional ballots in November’s midterm elections that are the priority. Therefore, the key question asked by the poll of 1,377 adults was this: “If this year’s election for Congress were held today, which party’s candidate are you more likely to vote for in your district.” And when we analyze the data from the responses to this question, the results are staggering.
recent polling shows Walker leading Warnock by over ten points. When we consider that we’re still months away from the election and the apparent commitment by Democrats to continue pushing an unpopular agenda, it seems likely that Walker’s lead will widen. And with over 7% of voters still undecided, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Walker’s cushion inch up into the teens by the fall.
This is the mindset of so many on the left. We saw it with the Disney controversy in Florida and one executive’s “not so secret gay agenda” with children’s programming. We saw it with the absolute meltdown from the left with Florida’s Parental Rights In Education law. The radical left, which has now become the base of the Democratic Party, has no use for parental rights. They view your children, all children, as property of the state and subjects for their indoctrination.
As unpopular as Biden is, Vice-President Kamala Harris’ approval ratings are even worse, with a recent poll by FiveThirtyEight showing her at 32%, and a remarkable 58% negative rating. We should also note that one poll last year reported Harris’ approval all the way down to 28%, and another poll two weeks ago pegged her disapproval at 63%. These are historically low poll results for a sitting vice-president, and they’re not surprising. Americans don’t like Joe Biden very much, and they like Kamala Harris even less.
We can see the economic deterioration virtually anywhere we look, and we can feel the economy slipping. We’re watching our economy being driven off a cliff in a blue convertible, and we can see the senile buffoon in the White House behind the wheel with the accelerator floored and a stupid look on his face.
Yet as bad as this analysis looks for Big Tech – and for our freedom of speech as a result – the picture looks even more bleak when we consider the context. MRC’s analysis only took into consideration the censorship of material relating to Joe Biden. What would those numbers look like if they included criticisms of Vice-President Kamala Harris? And House Speaker Nancy Pelosi? And Senate Leader Chuck Schumer?
When considering the weight and validity of his opinion, we should first recognize the roles and responsibilities that Ratcliffe had as DNI. As Director of National Intelligence, Ratcliffe was tasked with managing all 17 of the federal government’s intelligence agencies, including the CIA and NSA, during the Trump Administration. Ratcliffe understands the processes, and the personalities involved and has extensive experience with these types of goings-on.
What’s remarkable is that this stance should even be remotely controversial. Exxon is an energy company, obviously, why should anyone – least of which would be their customers – care what they think about LBGTQ? Or Black Lives Matter? Exxon, and Disney, and Nabisco, and Wal-Mart, and every other company should stick to their product and service offerings.
Hannity’s tactics of no holds barred, in-your-face conservatism have served him well with both his syndicated radio show and the Fox News program. Over the years, he has frequently offered admiration for the late Rush Limbaugh as both a role model and trailblazer for his approach to conservative commentary, and that influence shows through regularly during his programs.
Much of what Gabbard had to say about the Ukrainian labs was stated during her multiple appearances on Tucker Carlson’s show on Fox News. For many on that side of the political spectrum, that decision itself is traitorous of Gabbard. How dare she go on Fox News. Whether we agree with Carlson and Gabbard and their takes on the labs is irrelevant, what we should all be able to agree on is their right to say it.
It was a situation of a state government playing nice with corporate America. Come invest in our state and be a good corporate citizen, and we’ll lay low on government intrusion and authoritarianism concerning your company. That’s the way things are supposed to work. But Disney chose last month to disregard such long-held protocols when they decided to bow to a small but vocal contingent of employees and jump head-first into the culture war and Florida politics.
