New surveys conducted by The New York Times, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and Siena College show former President Donald Trump leading President Joe Biden in five of six swing states. In a two-man race between Trump and Biden, Trump leads 51-38% among likely voters; by a whopping 13 points 51-38% in Nevada; six points 49-43% in Arizona; nine points 50-41% in Georgia; three points in Pennsylvania 48-45%; and one point in Wisconsin 47-46%; while Biden clings to a one-point margin in Michigan. When third-party candidates such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. were included, Trump’s lead soared to nine points in Arizona, to 14 in Nevada, and stayed almost

How far will Obiden go to maintain that one point in Michigan?

These polls are driving me crazy. This one says The Mummy is leading in Michigan by one point. Another said President Trump is leading by 15. Maybe President Trump should pick Ted Nugent as his VEEP.

Nice try, Slimes, Philly Cheese Steak, and SC (whose lefty student enrollment worships Pope Frank). It's six out of six and by a landslide margin for Trump.

Does the polling include illegal voters? Otherwise, the polls don't mean much, as Trump won the 2020 election, counting only legal votes.

Michigan's state legislature is overwhelmingly Democrat. It's not surprising that Biden leads there. The ganders are a surprisingly submissive lot.

If anyone here thinks Biden is gonna be the candidate against our President Trump...they are mistaken...the only reason his name is still on the ballot...is so they don't have to defer to cackling harris...at the convention he will decline the nomination and the real candidate will be named...it can't be Michelle non belle because Chicago has to much information on this phoney woman....remember Joan Rivers said when asked about her/him..." she's a trans...and everyone in Hollywood knows it"....a few days later Joan was dead at the hands of a so called botched throat surgery which was common and easy surgery....wonder why?

I remember stories like this in 2020, and we all saw how that turned out. Don't take anything for granted. Many people will vote Democrat no matter what. They want justice, to save the planet, and free money. They ignore everything else going on around them. Especially the economy. If they realized what was going on around them, the Democrats would have far fewer voters. That's the biggest hurdle Republicans are facing. Voter fraud is secondary. Voter fraud only works for the Democrats because they get so many votes in the first place.

Forget the polls. Campaign like you're behind. Work like your life depends on it, because it does. Crawl over broken glass if you have to in order to vote. Republican vote participation is pathetic. The Left never, ever, ever gives up. Emulate this. And educate the voters. Trump should have a website where the facts are presented, facts, without campaign purple prose. But there should be an opportunity to donate, even in small increments. Remember the donation "bombs" i think they called the efforts, during BO campaign? There is no "MSM" resource on our side, for accuracy and facts (i miss Rush) dealing with central Trump campaign issues. AND, very important, to rebut brandon and the endless lies, just unabashed lies. The People are --sad to say-- ignorant. And, remember, as incredible as it seems to those who pay attention all the time, the pollsters say that people don't start "paying attention" to politics until after Labor Day. pathetic. Obviously not the case here, at this forum and other conservative sites. De Tocqueville was impressed with the busy-ness of the American citizens, busy with industry, and busy with local affairs, local issues, local politics. This local politics is where the foundations are laid. Everything the Dem/Left does is to turn it upside down, inside out and centralize everything, bringing every detail of our lives under the control of the central government... all the better to entangle the citizen with Federal issues, therefore influencing people to look to the government as daddy, to provide for their needs, real or imagined. Our Founders intended the Federal government to be limited, now it's a monstrous behemoth. These are some of the reasons why the socialist/fascist brandon regime wants to destroy local communities, the small towns, the suburbs, the more conservative regions, they are too independent, hence, not easily controlled. Look who's doing the polls. They are tools in the election-corruption and -stealing in the toolkit. Let's not be lulled into complacency.

China: Biden Giving Israel ‘Superficial
Criticism’ to Appease Leftist Voters

Posted by Dreadnought 5/14/2024 10:44:15 PM Post Reply
China’s state-run Global Times propaganda newspaper dismissed on Monday growing criticism from President Joe Biden and his administration toward Israel as a last-minute “stopgap measure” to prevent a growing number of voters on the left from abandoning his 2024 presidential campaign. Chinese regime-approved “experts” told the newspaper that Biden’s “superficial criticism” was a response to polls and not an indication of Biden’s political views. The state outlet claimed that the change in tone was indicative of America’s “hypocrisy” and a “double face” intended to amass power, one that has led to American global influence “declining immensely.” The same Global Times suggested in November, a month after the October 7 massacre

Joe Biden delivered some brief remarks at the Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies’ 30th Annual Awards Gala on Tuesday evening. It didn't go well; he was slurring a lot throughout the remarks. Anyone who knows Biden knows that anytime he talks to a group, he's going to come up with an "origin story" that fits the occasion. On this occasion, he noted how he was "raised" by the late Sen. Danny Inouye (D-HI) when he came to the Senate. He also mentioned he was friends with former Secretary of Transportation Norm Mineta, so I guess that all

US President Joe Biden’s administration has informed Congress that it is moving ahead with sales of munitions to Israel potentially worth over $1 billion, according to a Wall Street Journal report. The transfer includes up to $700 million in tank rounds, another $500 million worth of tactical vehicles and $60 million-worth of mortar shells, the report says. The munitions are intended to replenish stocks used during the war against Hamas, though it could take years for everything included in the deal to reach Israel. The report comes as Biden has faced pressure over his decision to freeze the transfer of large bombs to Israel over fears

The White House on Tuesday said President Biden would veto a House GOP bill intended to pressure him to send weapons to Israel, calling it a “misguided reaction to a deliberate distortion of the Administration’s approach to Israel.” The push back comes ahead of an expected vote this week on the Israel Security Assistance Support Act. GOP lawmakers introduced the bill after Biden warned he would withhold certain offensive weapons for Israel if their forces invaded Rafah in Gaza. But the White House cautioned that the legislation “would undermine the President’s ability to execute an effective foreign policy.”

Eighteen Republican-led states are suing the Biden administration’s Equal Employment Opportunity Commission over the federal agency’s new sexual-harassment guidance that enforces broad legal protections for transgender workers. The federal lawsuit, filed on Monday by Tennessee attorney general Jonathan Skrmetti, argues that the EEOC is overstepping its constitutional limits by unlawfully placing gender identity under the purview of Title VII, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin. The states agree with the 2020 Supreme Court ruling, Bostock v. Clayton County, that firing employees because they are transgender or gay constitutes sex-based discrimination. The plaintiffs, however, argue that the decision does not weigh on the accommodations

Two public universities in Virginia have scrapped their planned diversity, equity, and inclusion requirements after a review by Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s (R-VA) administration. Virginia Commonwealth University and George Mason University canceled their plans to implement DEI-oriented classes as a requirement for undergraduate studies after Youngkin raised concerns about “core curriculum mandates that are a thinly veiled attempt to incorporate the progressive Left’s groupthink.” However, while the VCU Board of Visitors voted 10-5 publicly in a meeting on Friday to reject a “racial literacy” requirement just before the fall 2024 academic semester,

Citing concerns about China’s “unfair trade practices,” the Biden administration announced that it is sharply increasing taxes on a variety of Chinese imports, including steel and aluminum, semiconductors, electric vehicles, and critical minerals, according to a White House fact sheet. “Today’s actions to counter China’s unfair trade practices are carefully targeted at strategic sectors—the same sectors where the United States is making historic investments under President Biden

A conviction in the criminal trial of former President Donald Trump would boost his support among key swing state voters, a Telegraph/Redfield & Wilton Strategies poll recently found, contradicting a narrative that a potential Trump conviction would somehow boost President Joe Biden’s flagging poll numbers. The poll sampled voters in seven swing states. In Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, a greater number of voters said a Trump conviction would make them more likely than not to vote for Trump. Thirty-five percent of voters in Georgia said a Trump conviction would increase their chances of voting for the former president. Only 27 percent said a Trump conviction

Joshua Cobb, 23, of Hamilton, mentioned two possible attack locations, a Jersey Strong gym and an Aldi grocery store in Robbinsville, and said he had access to guns and the will to kill a lot of people, authorities allege.
