Polling Problems
The new survey finds that 63% of voters hold an unfavorable view of the Democratic Party—the highest share in Journal polls dating to 1990 and 30 percentage points higher than the 33% who hold a favorable view.


A new Wall Street Journal Poll is out, and it is bad news for democrats. The Poll was conducted from July 16 -20. It is a new-new low for democrats. The lowest in 35 years. The dems are suffering from multiple problems. First, they are leaderless and second, they have backed insane policies like open borders, transgender operations for children and aiding illegal immigrants.


There are four damning stats for democrats from this Poll:

 "A mere 8% of voters view the Democrats “very favorably,” compared with 19% who show that level of enthusiasm for the GOP.

On the whole, voters disapprove of the president’s handling of the economy, inflation, tariffs and foreign policy. And yet in each case, the new Journal poll found, voters nonetheless say they trust Republicans rather than Democrats to handle those same issues in Congress.

Now, more voters identify as Republicans than as Democrats, a significant change in the structure of the electorate—and a rarity in politics. Republicans last year built their   first durable lead in more than three decades   in party identification, and they have maintained that lead today. In the new Journal survey, more voters identify as Republicans than as Democrats by 1 percentage point, and the GOP led by 4 points in the April poll.

Republicans have built a financial advantage at this early stage of the cycle. Campaign-finance reports out this week show that the Republican National Committee ended the first half of the year with more than $80 million on hand, compared with $15 million held by the Democrats’ national campaign arm. The Democratic committee   raised roughly 20% less than it did   in the first six months of 2021, a comparable period in the last midterm cycle, and has in the bank a quarter of what it did four years ago."

Democrats Get Lowest Rating From Voters in 35 Years, WSJ Poll Finds

Every time the dems call the President a Fascist, the lower they seem to go in polling. As the democrat party becomes more extreme the more they find themselves distanced from the American people. Right now, they are in a doom cycle. Can they change it all by next year?

Trump is moving to taking action on Russia. When asked by reporters in Scotland about the prospect of a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, Trump repeated that he is "disappointed" with Putin, complaining that he thought he had the matter "settled numerous times" before his Russian counterpart then "starts launching rockets into some city, like Kyiv, and kills a lot of people." "I'm going to reduce that 50 days we gave him to a lesser number because I think I already know the answer what's going to happen," Trump said on Monday.

Yesterday President Donald Trump contradicted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a prominent way, over Netanyahu’s comment that there is “no starvation in Gaza.” Speaking in Scotland, Trump said that the U.S. would set up food centers in Gaza as “we have to get the kids fed." Trump said he had seen images of Palestinians on TV and that “those children look very hungry.” He later added that the scenes were “real starvation” and that “you can’t fake that.”

Trump announced a U.S.-Vietnam trade deal, in which the nation would be subject to a tariff rate of 20%.

A gunman armed with a high-powered M4 rifle killed four people - including a police officer - at a Midtown Manhattan office building, 345 Park Ave., that houses the headquarters of Blackstone and the NFL. The police officer killed was an immigrant from Bangladesh, with two children. His wife is pregnant with their third.

Five people have been charged over a vicious beatdown on a Cincinnati street after films of the fight have gone viral. The suspects’ names were not released, and Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge declined to specify the charges – but cautioned more arrests were expected. “We have five we have charged, and anticipate more,” Theetge told reporters Monday, two days after the 3 a.m. Saturday incident which she referred to as a “fight.”

Colombia convicted a former President, Álvaro Uribe, of bribery. 

Heavy rains in and around Beijing left at least 38 people dead. Many were trapped in the flooding.

After a five-year drought and decades of mismanagement, Iran risks running out of water within weeks. In the meantime, utilities are being sabotaged.

Senate Democrats obsessed with "Epstein" demanded all transcripts and recordings from last week’s Justice Department interviews with Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime partner, who is in prison for sex trafficking.

Good morning and welcome to the news.

The gunman responsible for the killings of four people in Midtown Manhattan had a long history of mental illness. The question that I pose specifically to democrats is why are we not bringing back Mental institutions?

I know all I'm going to see are excuses, but if the Democrats are so obsessed with "Epstein" then why didn't they release everything when they were "running things"?

We already know the truth here. The only reason why Democrats are so vocal about releasing the files is because they can use it to beat on Trump.

They have a "messaging problem" so this might solve it for them.  /s

The simple truth is that if there was hard evidence of criminal actions in the files then someone would have already been brought up on charges. Most likely there are names in the records along with some inuendo about deeds but no evidence to back it up. Because of the nature of Epstein's crimes, any name would be tarred with the same brush regardless of actions by said name. And I'm confident that politicians being politicians, they will attempt to hide their own while shouting out loud about those from the 'other' side. If the House succeeds in subpoenaing the records, we will hear a constant drip of names and inuendo. 

With all of that said, I'm actually in favor of releasing all the records. There will be a lot of unverified statements in them, but I'm rather tired of the forever politicians and this may be a quick way to get rid of a bunch of them.

1994

Sandberg, a notoriously slow early-season starter, found himself struggling even more so than usual early in the 1994 season. With his average at a career low .238 and having recorded only 53 hits in 57 games, Sandberg decided to step away from baseball, and on June 13, 1994, he announced his retirement. In his book,   Second to Home , Sandberg said
The reason I retired is simple: I lost the desire that got me ready to play on an everyday basis for so many years. Without it, I didn't think I could perform at the same level I had in the past, and I didn't want to play at a level less than what was expected of me by my teammates, coaches, ownership, and most of all, myself. Ryne Sandberg - Wikipedia

I had a friend who was friends with a very high profile sports radio host in Chicago at that time , who had a connection to insider dope on the Cubs clubhouse.  According to the "rumors" , Sandberg's wife was cheating on him with a good friend. After that was resolved and they divorced he came back to the Cubs and resumed his career.

Unfortunately, not really a rarity in MLB.

If you recall in the 1970's cable tv began, and we were getting the Cubs, Yankees and Braves local stations up in Boston. We had it even into the 80s. I was betting on Baseball back then. There were many Cubs games I enjoyed, but there is one (an unusual one) that is forever tied to Sandberg. I can only imagine how Cubs fans felt about it:

She kept blathering about Roy Cooper entering the US Senate race in North Carolina. He was the former governor and held many statewide positions in the state.

Yes, it is. Had we, citizens of North Carolina, not had to put up with the influx of "northern influence" on our population, he may have never been elected. It's all about the "D".

The same resume for some Socialists and Marxists. The thing they all seem to have in common is the university where they all fell in love with the idea of being the planners of a society.

Still there. 

Socialist NYC mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani celebrated his recent nuptials with a lavish, three-day affair at his family’s ritzy, secluded Ugandan compound — complete with masked security guards and a cellphone jamming system, The Post has learned.

The gates of the bustling, private compound, which sits in the wealthy Buziga Hill area outside the capital city of Kampala, were heavily guarded by military-style, masked men this week, with guests streaming in and partying until midnight, according to sources in the town who wished to remain anonymous for security reasons.

He's the perfect exemplar of the socialist.
