A New York Times/Siena College poll shows that over 75% of Americans believe democracy is under threat. While 76% of likely voters agree on the threat, opinions vary on its nature. Key concerns include Donald Trump (21%), government corruption (14%), immigration (7%), and loss of constitutional liberties (6%). Other reasons include instability, Democrats, specific politicians, foreign policy, misinformation, and social divisions, each with lower percentages.

Earlier this month, former President Barack Obama stopped by a Kamala Harris campaign office in Pennsylvania and made headlines by admonishing Black men for being less enthusiastic about supporting her for president compared with the support he received when he ran in 2008.“Part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren't feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you're coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that,” Obama said.Within days of Obama's comments, Harris unveiled an “opportunity agenda for Black men” in part to energize and engage this slice of the electorate. According to a recent New York Times/Siena College poll, 70 percent of likely Black male voters said they supported Harris, compared with more than 80 percent of Black men who voted for President Joe Biden in 2020. So should we believe the polls? Reveal host Al Letson and Mother Jones video correspondent Garrison Hayes are skeptical. In this podcast extra, Letson and Hayes discuss whether Democrats should be concerned about Black men defecting from the party, former President Donald Trump's own plans to win them over, and why they think one of the most Democratic-leaning demographics in the US will likely stay that way.  Support Reveal's journalism at Revealnews.org/donatenow Subscribe to our weekly newsletter to get the scoop on new episodes at Revealnews.org/newsletter Connect with us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram

A New York Times/Siena College poll last week showed Harris's support among Black voters was less than Joe Biden received in 2020. Joining the show to discuss this and other issues is Sam Gresham, a long-time political observer and activist who works with Common Cause Ohio.

A eleição presidencial de 2024 nos Estados Unidos está se mostrando a mais acirrada do século, possivelmente a mais disputada dos últimos 60 anos. Após o debate de 10 de setembro entre Donald Trump e Kamala Harris, as pesquisas indicam uma leve vantagem nacional para a vice-presidente, mas a margem é tão estreita que ainda é impossível prever um vencedor, especialmente considerando o Colégio Eleitoral. Thiago de Aragão, analista políticoAs pesquisas divulgadas no último domingo pela CBS News e NBC News foram algumas das mais favoráveis a Harris até o momento, mostrando-a à frente de Trump por 4 e 5 pontos, respectivamente. No entanto, mesmo esses números estão dentro da margem de erro e são significativamente menores do que as vantagens que os candidatos democratas tiveram em 2016 e 2020 nas mesmas fases da campanha. Isso evidencia a dificuldade que Harris enfrenta para consolidar uma liderança clara nas pesquisas nacionais.Analisando todas as pesquisas nacionais conduzidas desde o debate – incluindo ABC News/Ipsos, Fox News e The New York Times/Siena College – a média mostra Harris liderando por apenas 3 pontos, de acordo com a mais recente CNN Poll of Polls. Esse padrão tem se mantido durante todo o ano, com nenhum dos candidatos abrindo uma vantagem superior a 5 pontos. O fato de nenhum candidato ter liderado por pelo menos 5 pontos neste ciclo é notável, indicando que os eleitores estão altamente polarizados e firmes em suas escolhas.O que torna essa eleição particularmente imprevisível é a dinâmica do Colégio Eleitoral. Trump tende a ter uma posição mais favorável nesse sistema devido à distribuição geográfica de seus eleitores, especialmente entre os brancos sem diploma universitário, que são super-representados em estados decisivos. Estimativas sugerem que Harris precisaria vencer o voto popular por mais de 3 pontos para ser considerada favorita no Colégio Eleitoral, um patamar que ela ainda não alcançou.De acordo com as avaliações atuais da CNN, Harris começa com 225 votos eleitorais contra 219 de Trump, com sete estados e um distrito no Nebraska ainda em disputa. Harris parece ter uma ligeira vantagem em Michigan, Pensilvânia e Wisconsin, enquanto Trump está um pouco à frente no Arizona e na Geórgia. No entanto, em todos esses estados, a diferença média é de apenas 1 a 2 pontos, colocando-os bem dentro da margem de erro.Estratégia multifacetadaKamala Harris tem adotado uma estratégia multifacetada para tentar superar esses desafios. Diferentemente de Joe Biden em 2020, que frequentemente retratava Trump como uma ameaça direta à democracia, Harris está optando por uma abordagem que busca diminuir Trump aos olhos do público ao mesmo tempo em que alerta sobre os perigos reais de suas políticas. Ela enfatiza tanto o aspecto "não sério" de Trump – destacando suas declarações controversas e comportamentos erráticos – quanto os riscos concretos que sua eleição poderia representar.Assessores e estrategistas da campanha de Kamala explicam que essa abordagem reflete a percepção dos eleitores: eles veem Trump como um indivíduo que não é sério, mas reconhecem a seriedade das consequências de uma possível reeleição do republicano. Harris utiliza momentos estratégicos, como debates e entrevistas, para destacar essas dualidades, tentando criar um contraste nítido entre sua competência e o comportamento de Trump.Além disso, Harris está investindo fortemente em ampliar seu alcance, especialmente entre os eleitores jovens e do sexo masculino, grupos nos quais ela tem enfrentado desafios conforme apontado pelas pesquisas. Reconhecendo a necessidade de se conectar com esses eleitores, a campanha planeja diversificar suas aparições na mídia, incluindo participações em programas e plataformas que tradicionalmente não são frequentados por candidatos democratas. Essa estratégia visa quebrar barreiras e conquistar segmentos do eleitorado que podem ser decisivos nos estados-chave.Outro elemento central da estratégia de Harris é a necessidade de se apresentar ao eleitorado de forma mais pessoal e autêntica. Diferentemente de Biden, que já tinha um reconhecimento significativo antes de sua candidatura, Harris ainda está se apresentando a muitos americanos. A campanha reconhece que, à medida que mais pessoas conhecem sua história e suas propostas, sua popularidade tende a crescer. Nesse sentido, Harris tem enfatizado sua origem de classe média e sua trajetória como filha de mãe trabalhadora. Ao compartilhar suas experiências pessoais, ela busca criar conexões emocionais com eleitores que se sentem desconectados da política tradicional.IndecisosOs desafios, porém, são significativos. A estreita margem nas pesquisas, combinada com a possibilidade de erros históricos nas previsões – como ocorreu em 2016 e 2020 –, significa que nada está garantido. A campanha de Harris está ciente de que precisa não apenas manter sua base de eleitores, mas também persuadir os indecisos e talvez até conquistar alguns eleitores que tradicionalmente votam nos republicanos.Eventos recentes, como revelações controversas sobre figuras políticas alinhadas a Trump, podem influenciar a percepção pública e oferecer oportunidades para Harris fortalecer sua posição nos estados-chave. A campanha está atenta a essas dinâmicas e pretende aproveitá-las ao máximo.A eleição presidencial de 2024 é, sem dúvida, uma das mais intensas e imprevisíveis da história recente dos Estados Unidos. Com os candidatos empatados nas pesquisas e cada voto potencialmente decisivo, as próximas semanas serão cruciais. Kamala Harris está adotando uma estratégia que combina crítica contundente a Donald Trump com esforços para ampliar seu apelo junto a diversos segmentos do eleitorado. Sua capacidade de se conectar com os eleitores, apresentar propostas claras e aproveitar as oportunidades que surgirem poderá ser determinante para o resultado final.Independentemente do resultado, esta eleição servirá como um estudo de caso sobre a eficácia das estratégias de campanha em um ambiente político altamente polarizado e sobre a importância dos estados-chave no sistema eleitoral americano. A trajetória de Kamala Harris e sua abordagem inovadora podem redefinir as estratégias políticas futuras e oferecer insights valiosos sobre como conquistar o eleitorado em tempos de intensa divisão política.

[SEGMENT 2-1] Examining debate lies 1 Every aspect of that debate is being examined. And the media is trying to run cover for Harris. I saw a news story were they claim that Haitians are not eating geese and cats.    [SEGMENT 2-2] Examining debate lies 2 The fallout from the debate shocked the heck out of the Left. What appeared to be a win for them backfired. People saw more of the dirty underbelly, and they don't like it.   ECONOMYKamala Claim: “I am the only person on this stage who has a plan on lifting up the middle class and working people of America. His plan is to…provide a tax cut for billionaires and big corporations.”Fact Check: FalsePresident Trump has pledged to implement “large tax cuts for workers and NO TAX ON TIPS” to bolster the economy by putting more money in the pockets of “average Americans.”UnemploymentKamala Claim: “Donald Trump left us the worst unemployment since the Great Depression.”Fact Check: FalseAt the time of President Trump's departure from office in January 2021, the unemployment rate was 6.4% and trending downward due to the recovery of jobs lost during COVID. Since the Great Depression, many months have seen unemployment greater than 6.4%, including every single month from October 2008 through March 2014.Attack on DemocracyKamala Claim: “Donald Trump left us the worst attack (January 6th) on our democracy since the Civil War.”Fact Check: FalseSince the Civil War, the United States has suffered multiple attacks resulting in far more deaths than the events of January 6th. Notable examples include the attack on Pearl Harbor, which claimed 2,403 lives on December 7th, 1941, and the Oklahoma City bombing, which killed 168 people on April 19th, 1995. However, none were more devastating than the attacks on September 11th, 2001, which claimed nearly 3,000 American lives that day, including 343 members of the FDNY, 37 members of the NYPD, and 23 Port Authority police officers. Ironically, Kamala's erroneous claim came on the eve of the 23rd anniversary of the September 11th attacks.Project 2025Kamala Claim: “What you're going to hear tonight is a detailed, and dangerous plan called Project 2025 that the former President plans on implementing if he were elected again.”Fact Check: FalsePresident Trump has repeatedly stated that he has no involvement with the conservative think tank known as Project 2025.CHINAKamala Claim: “He sold American chips to China to help them improve and modernize their military.”Fact Check: FalseThe Trump administration placed restrictions on selling semiconductor chips to China in May 2019, specifically targeting Huawei, a Chinese telecommunications company.ABORTIONKamala Claim: “Pregnant women who want to carry a pregnancy to term suffering from a miscarriage being denied care in an emergency room because health care providers are afraid they might go to jail.”Fact Check: FalseNo U.S. state has laws that would deny lifesaving treatment to women suffering from a miscarriage.Kamala Claim: “If Donald Trump were elected, he would sign a national abortion ban.”President Trump has repeatedly stated that he would not sign a federal abortion ban, as the issue has been returned to the states following the overturn of Roe v. Wade.Moderator Linsey Davis Claim: “There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it is born.”Fact Check: FalseIn 2019, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed a bill into law that legalized abortions up to birth. The bill also removed section 4164 of New York's public health law, which had mandated medical care for any baby born alive during an abortion. Under these new provisions, babies can legally be left to die, or in other words, killed. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, now Kamala Harris's VP choice, implemented the same provision in the North Star State. In other states, such as Virginia, former Governor Ralph Northam stated that infants who survive an abortion “would be resuscitated if that's what the mother and the family desired.”False Trump QuotesKamala Claim: “He has openly said he would terminate the Constitution of the United States.”Fact Check: FalsePresident Trump has not stated that he would terminate the U.S. Constitution if reelected.Kamala Claim: “He would weaponize his Department of Justice against his political enemies.”Fact Check: FalsePresident Trump has never indicated that he intends to weaponize his DOJ against political enemies. However, it is worth noting the numerous ties between the Biden-Harris administration and those prosecuting President Trump.Kamala Claim: “He has expressed disdain for members of our military.”Fact Check: FalseThe “suckers and losers” hoax was debunked long ago, even by Trump foe, John Bolton.Kamala Claim: “Let's remember Charlottesville, where the President at the time said there were fine people on both sides (regarding White Supremacists and Neo-Nazis).”Fact Check: FalseEven the left-wing fact checking website snopes has debunked the “Very fine people” hoax.Kamala Claim: “Donald Trump the candidate has said in this election there will be a bloodbath if the outcome of this election is not in his liking.”Fact Check: FalseTrump's words regarding a “bloodbath” were taken out of context. He was metaphorically referring to the economic state of the United States if Kamala wins, not a literal bloodbath among the people, as Kamala portrays. Once again, Snopes clarified this.Kamala Claim: “He wants to be a dictator on day one according to himself.”Fact Check: FalseThe “dictator on day one” comment refers to a sarcastic remark made by President Trump during a town hall, where he was emphasizing how unwavering and adamant he is about closing the southern border and increasing domestic oil production.ENERGYKamala Claim: “I made it very clear back in 2020, I will not ban fracking.”Fact Check: FalseDuring a 2019 town hall with CNN, Kamala Harris stated, “There's no question I'm in favor of banning fracking.”Kamala Claim: “We (the Biden Administration) have had the largest increase in domestic oil production in history.Fact Check: FalsePresident Trump's administration inherited 8.9 million barrels of oil produced per day and increased it to a high of 13 million barrels per day. The Biden-Harris administration took office with 11 million barrels being produced per day and has only increased the amount to 12 million barrels.January 6thKamala Claim: “Trump incited a violent mob to attack our nation's capitol.”Fact Check: FalsePresident Trump told his supporters to “peacefully and patriotically make their voices heard” in regard to their protest of the 2020 election.2020 ELECTIONModerator David Muir Claim: “60 cases in front of many judges, many of them republican said there was no widespread fraud.”Fact Check: FalseNone of Trump's election disputes were ever allowed to be fully presented in court. Instead, as President Trump mentioned during the debate, most were dismissed on the grounds of standing, meaning his claims of election fraud were never litigated, let alone disproven.Kamala Claim: “He attempts to upend the will of the voters in a free and fair election.”Fact Check: FalsePresident Trump did not attempt to upend the will of the voters. Instead, he voiced the concerns shared by millions of Americans about the integrity of the election and pursued all legal and constitutional avenues to dispute the questionable results.FOREIGN POLICYKamala Claim: “Donald Trump is weak and wrong on national security and foreign policy.”Fact Check: FalseDuring his first term in office, President Trump brokered numerous peace deals, most notably the historic Abraham Accords, and successfully pushed other NATO countries to start paying their fair share in defense spending.Kamala Claim: “Dictators and autocrats are rooting for Trump to be president again.”Fact Check: FalseLast week, Russian President Vladimir Putin endorsed Kamala Harris for president.[SEGMENT 2-3] Learning more about the candidates 1 Perhaps because of what I do for a living, I'm extra critical of Donald Trump's performance. I've been pointing out for days now what Trump needed to do in the debate, and seeing him miss opportunity after opportunity was beyond frustrating. But according to a report from Reuters, undecided voters largely shifted to him after the debate.  "Kamala Harris was widely seen as dominating Tuesday's presidential debate against Republican former president Donald Trump, but a group of undecided voters remained unconvinced that the Democratic vice president was the better candidate," the outlet reported. Reuters interviewed ten undecided voters before and after a debate. Six of them shifted toward supporting Trump, three leaned toward Harris, and one remained uncertain. That's a rather solid outcome for Trump. "Although the sample size was small, the responses suggested Harris might need to provide more detailed policy proposals to win over voters who have yet to make up their minds," wrote Reuters. It gets worse for Kamala. Five said they found Harris vague during the more than 90-minute debate on how she would improve the U.S. economy and deal with the high cost of living, a top concern for voters. The encounter was particularly important for Harris, with a weekend New York Times/Siena College opinion poll showing that more than a quarter of likely voters feel they do not know enBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.

The poll is significant because 61 percent of likely voters believe the next president should represent a major change from the Biden-Harris administration, a New York Times/Siena College survey found Sunday. Only 25 percent believe Vice President Kamala Harris represents that change, while a majority think former President Donald Trump does. Seventy-five percent of Americans say the economy is “only fair” or “poor,” according to the poll. In addition, 74 percent of Americans are “very concerned” about the soaring prices of food and consumer products. “Other economic concerns — housing costs and job availability — have increased since 2023,” the poll found.

[SEGMENT 2-1] James Earl Jones died   The Great White Hope Field of Dreams, The Simpsons, Star Wars, The Hunt for Red October…much more    [SEGMENT 2-2] Your impact   Media baffled after ABC 3-on-1 presidential debate fails to push voters to Kamala https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/hillary-clinton-s-post-debate-polls-serve-as-warning-sign-for-kamala-harris In 2016, CNN polling showed that Clinton came out on top in all three debates against Trump, by almost an identical margin as Harris in the first debate. Sixty-two percent of respondents thought Clinton won the first debate, while 27 percent chose Trump. Additionally, 41 percent of the poll's respondents identified themselves as Democrats, while only 26 percent were Republicans and the rest were independents, so it is unsurprising that Harris did well.   The Left media is paid to get you to react. Because they HATE when you ACT. When you think for yourself, you upset their algorithm. Do you realize the impact that you have on the public. That one voice you think is small, can be so big. Particularly when it's added to others. I ask you this question: Have I made you stronger in your beliefs?   Trump attended a 9-11 memorial event in NYC with Biden, Harris, Schumer, and Bloomberg among others and the crowd yelled, “We need you. You won!”   https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2024/09/11/wait-a-second-trump-may-have-helped-himself-in-the-debate-n4932437 I don't think it helps to just say what people want to hear. The truth matters. And the truth is that it was not a great debate for Donald Trump on Tuesday night. I suspect he did little to no debate prep in advance, and every time Kamala baited him, he took the bait. It goes without saying that Kamala Harris lied her way through the debate, but the moderators didn't fact-check her once, yet Trump was "fact-checked" between five and seven times — and the fact-checks weren't always accurate. Perhaps because of what I do for a living, I'm extra critical of Donald Trump's performance. I've been pointing out for days now what Trump needed to do in the debate, and seeing him miss opportunity after opportunity was beyond frustrating. But according to a report from Reuters, undecided voters largely shifted to him after the debate.  "Kamala Harris was widely seen as dominating Tuesday's presidential debate against Republican former president Donald Trump, but a group of undecided voters remained unconvinced that the Democratic vice president was the better candidate," the outlet reported.

It gets worse for Kamala. Five said they found Harris vague during the more than 90-minute debate on how she would improve the U.S. economy and deal with the high cost of living, a top concern for voters. The encounter was particularly important for Harris, with a weekend New York Times/Siena College opinion poll showing that more than a quarter of likely voters feel they do not know enough about her, in contrast to the well-known Trump. The Trump converts said they trusted him more on the economy, even though all said they did not like him as a person. They said their personal financial situation had been better when he was president between 2017-2021. Some singled out his proposal to tax foreign imports, although economists say that is likely to raise prices. Four of those six also said Harris did not convince them she would pursue different economic policies than Democratic President Joe Biden, a Democrat they largely blame for the high cost of living. "I still don't know what she is for," said Mark Kadish, 61, an entrepreneur in Florida. "There was no real meat and bones for her plans." Four of the voters are women and six are men; eight are white and two are Black. All have voted for both Democratic and Republican candidates in the past. [...] Robert Wheeler, 48, a security firm executive in Nevada, was leaning toward Harris before the debate. He now says if the election were held tomorrow he would vote for Trump, largely because he thought Harris didn't provide clarity on her policies. "I felt like the whole debate was Kamala Harris telling me why not to vote for Donald Trump instead of why she's the right candidate," Wheeler said. I'm not going to lie; this result shocks me. My impression was that this debate likely wouldn't move the needle all that much, if at all, but if this sample is indicative of a larger trend, Donald Trump actually succeeded in doing what he needed to do. Previous: Five Takeaways From the Trump-Harris Debate Of course, some will point to various polls saying that Kamala won the debate. And that may be true, but winning a debate doesn't necessarily translate into winning over voters. With the exception of Trump's debate with Joe Biden in June, I can't think of a time when the media ever didn't push the narrative that Trump lost a debate. According to them, he lost all of his debates with Hillary Clinton in 2016 and all of his debates with Joe Biden in 2020. Perhaps winning the debate isn't the goal candidates should be striving for. Perhaps the real goal is winning over undecided voters. And if this Reuters survey is any indication, Trump achieved that.      [SEGMENT 2-3] State of America Springfield OH: Haitians Minneapolis MN: Somalis Venezuelan gangs…they say they will take over the country in a few years [X] SB – CNBC revised jobs numbers   Look at this crazy world and ask yourself what would happen with 4 more years of Leftist policies?

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump met for their first — and possibly only — debate in Philadelphia, less than two months before election day. While it was the second presidential debate of the 2024 campaign, it was Harris' first. She became the democratic nominee for president after President Biden ended his reelection bid following his June debate performance.Polls show an incredibly tight race with just five percent of voters undecided. And while 90 percent of voters in a recent The New York Times/Siena College poll said they know just about everything they need to know about Trump, only 71 percent said they know everything they need to know about Harris. MPR News host Angela Davis and her guests talk about the issues the candidates debated and what policies voters learned more about.

Is Kamala Harris's surge beginning to ebb? That's the question raised by the recent New York Times/Siena College poll, which finds Donald J. Trump narrowly ahead of Ms. Harris among likely voters nationwide.Nate Cohn, who covers American politics, explains why some of Ms. Harris's strengths from just a few weeks ago are now becoming her weaknesses, and the opening that's creating for the former president.Guest: Nate Cohn, who covers American politics, explains why some of Ms. Harris's strengths from just a few weeks ago are now becoming her weaknesses, and the opening that's creating for the former president.Background reading: Both candidates have scant opportunity to shift the electorate, but for Mr. Trump, opinions are largely fixed.

Episode 156: Hosts Scott Rada and Rick Kyte discuss the findings of a New York Times/Siena College poll that revealed some intriguing insights into American beliefs and behaviors. The poll found that while 88% of Americans support the legalization of marijuana for medical use, our federal policies do not reflect this widespread approval. Kyte noted that survey results don't always translate directly into policy, as there are often other practical considerations involved. The hosts also examined the public's views on small businesses vs. large retailers. While 86% of Americans say small businesses have a positive effect, their spending habits often favor big-box stores and online giants. Rada and Kyte discussed how personal convenience and cost savings can outweigh stated beliefs about supporting local enterprises. Other topics covered included the disconnect between the 81% who claim to believe in God and the much smaller percentage who actively practice their faith. The hosts also addressed Americans' near-constant smartphone use, with 81% keeping their devices close by, despite 57% admitting to addiction. About the hosts Scott Rada is a digital strategist with Lee Enterprises, and Richard Kyte is the director of the D.B. Reinhart Institute for Ethics in Leadership at Viterbo University in La Crosse, Wisconsin. He is also the author of "Finding Your Third Place: Building Happier Communities (and Making Great Friends Along the Way)."

For much of the 2024 presidential election, it felt like there were pretty ideal conditions for a third-party candidate. Republicans and Democrats had both lined up behind broadly unpopular — and familiar — candidates. In the spring, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was polling at 10 percent in The New York Times/Siena College survey of battleground states, and sustained interest in his candidacy was enough to raise alarm among his major-party rivals.As that alarm grew, the Run-Up team traveled to Royal Oak, Mich., for a Kennedy campaign event to ask people how they were thinking about a third-party vote when the stakes for that decision were so high.Since that visit, a lot has changed in the race. There's a new name on top of the Democratic ticket. And a lot has changed in Mr. Kennedy's campaign, too. But third-party interest among voters who are sick of the system or wary of both parties remains.On today's show: what made RFK Jr. such a threatening spoiler — and how the RFK-curious in a crucial state are thinking about the race now.For more on RFK Jr., listen to Astead's interview with the candidate in March.

Girls Vs Boys? With women's reproductive health on the line, perhaps it's no surprise that the latest presidential polls are highlighting a widening gender gap. A recent New York Times/Siena College poll shows Harris with a 14-point lead over Trump among likely female voters (55% to 41%). Trump is attracting male voters. He has a 17-point lead among men (56% to 39%). The Quinnipiac, CNN and NPR polls all indicate the gender gap to varying degrees. We welcome Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative journalist David Cay Johnston to the show to discuss politics. It's Tech Tuesday!

It's Friday, July 5th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Nigerian Muslim terrorists demand ransom for kidnapped pastor Boko Haram, the Islamic terror group, recently shared a video on social media in which Nigerian Pastor Paul Musa was pleading for his life as an armed, masked Islamic extremist stands behind him, reports International Christian Concern. The Muslim terrorist group abducted the 59-year-old pastor and his wife, Ruth, age 50, in March 2023 from their home in Borno State, Nigeria. In the video, the pastor is wearing orange clothing, reminiscent of the orange jumpsuits worn by the 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians that the Islamic State group beheaded on a beach in Libya in 2015. The Muslim militants demanded the pastor's family pay $130,000 by Monday, July 8th or Pastor Musa would be killed. Since 2009, Islamic extremists such as Boko Haram, Islamic State West African Province, Islamic Fulani militants, and unidentified gunmen have killed an estimated 45,000 Nigerian Christians. In fact, earlier this month, members of Islamic State West African Province executed three Christians in the Borno State. These groups also continue to kidnap pastors and priests and hold them for ransom. It is critical that there is a loud cry from American Christians to the persecution of Christians in Nigeria. Please send a polite, yet firm physical letter to Dr. Uzoma Emenike, the Nigerian Ambassador, asking her to use her influence to save Pastor Paul Musa. Send your letter to Nigerian Embassy, 3519 International Court, NW, Washington, DC 20008.

An atheist set to become new British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, an atheist, is on course for a landslide election victory as the next British Prime minister, and leader of the Labour Party. Starmer is forecast to win 410 seats, putting the party on track for its best result since 2001. In a brutal reckoning, the Conservatives are set to be reduced to just 131 Members of Parliament, their lowest number since the party was founded in 1832.

Hurricane Beryl's trail of destruction in Jamaica Hurricane Beryl is churning toward the Cayman Islands and Mexico  today after leaving a trail of destruction in southern Jamaica, killing at least two people on the island nation, bringing down power lines, and leaving hundreds homeless and in shelters, reports NBC News. That brings the total dead this week in the Caribbean to nine. Hurricane Beryl had maximum sustained winds of about 160 mph, reported the National Hurricane Center, putting the storm in Category 5 status. Since debate, Trump's lead widens by additional 3% Former President Donald Trump is leading President Biden 49% to 43% among likely voters in the latest New York Times/Siena College poll, reports Axios.com. That's a three-point swing for Trump since the debate, and his largest lead in the survey since 2015. Democrats begin to consider Harris at the top of their ticket As President Biden continues to face questions about whether he should end his bid to seek a second term, there are growing signs that many in the Democratic Party are willing to accept the notion of Vice President Kamala Harris at the top of their presidential ticket, a potentially significant shift, reports The Washington Post. In candor, many Democrats were also worried that Harris would be a weak candidate, based in part on her ill-fated presidential run in 2020, when she was forced to drop out before a single vote was cast. But choosing someone instead of Harris, the first woman of color to serve as vice president, seemed politically untenable. Andy Stanley criticizes Southern Baptists for ousting Rick Warren's Saddleback Church over female pastor Georgia megachurch Pastor Andy Stanley has criticized the Southern Baptist Convention for disfellowshipping Rick Warren's Saddleback Church over its unbiblical approval of female pastors, reports The Christian Post. In a sermon Sunday at North Point Community Church of Alpharetta, Stanley, the son of the late Charles Stanley, a Southern Baptist pastor, expressed his strong disagreement. STANLEY: “One of the two people who really launched this movement way back in the late 70s is Rick Warren. Before he wrote The Purpose Driven Life, he wrote The Purpose Driven Church. That book sold millions of copies to pastors, and it was a book about how to create a church that's for outsiders, for unchurched people. He is a modern church reformer. “Last year, his denomination kicked him out of the denomination for something immoral? No! Something illegal? No! Something to do with money? No!  Because he's had some addiction. No, none of that, you know, glamorous stuff. “They kicked him out because he had the nerve to ordain three female staff members who were functioning as pastors. He ordained them as pastors, which is actually a legal status. It gave them a tax benefit. They're doing the work of all the other male pastors. He's like, ‘Well, why in the world, would we not make them pastors?' They're pastoring. And they weren't gonna go out and lead a church. They were working on his staff. He ordained three women and they kicked him out of the church. You don't get any more insider focused than that!” But, truth be told, that's not the whole story. In February 2023, the Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee deemed Saddleback not in "friendly cooperation" with the convention. At issue is Pastor Andy Wood, who succeeded Saddleback founder Rick Warren as lead pastor, listing his wife, Stacie, as the church's teaching pastor. The Baptist Faith & Message 2000, the convention's official statement of beliefs, says that the "office of pastor is limited to men as qualified by Scripture." Although Saddleback Church had previously ordained three female pastors in May 2021, the convention cited Stacie Wood's naming as teaching pastor as the actual reason for the expulsion. In describing a pastor, Titus 1:6 says, “An elder must be blameless, faithful to his wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient.” Join me on the Colorado Father/Son Retreat Join me, Adam McManus, and my two sons, Honor and Valor, at the Colorado father son retreat Thursday, August 15. through Sunday, August 18.

A shaky debate performance last week caused members of the Democratic party to question if the 81-year-old incumbent is the right choice as their candidate. A New York Times/Siena College poll showed that 69 percent of voters, including 55 percent of Biden voters, said Biden is too old to be an effective president.

Sunday equals frowny face. A global survey of airline passengers has revealed the best and worst times to fly — and according to the vast majority, any kind of air travel on the Lord's Day is absolute hell. In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Thursday, severe thunderstorms moved through New York and New Jersey, causing widespread power outages and other damage. Who knows what they were cooking up. A pair of slippery-fingered Long Island thieves were busted loading up on cooking oil at a Suffolk County eatery — and allegedly pulled off similar heists at more than a dozen restaurants, police said. And in Atlanta, ahead of their debate today, former President Donald Trump has opened up a four-point lead over President Biden according to a new poll. Trump, 78, received 48% support among likely voters in comparison to Biden's 44% backing, a New York Times/Siena College poll released found.

In light of recent political developments, the former U.S. President Donald Trump appears to be having the upper hand ahead of his rival, current President Joe Biden. As per the latest New York Times and Siena College survey, if the 2024 presidential race were to take place at present with only Trump and Biden as contenders, nearly half of American citizens (48%) would back Trump. Meanwhile, approximately 42% of the surveyed 1,226 registered voters stated their preference for Biden. However, there's an element of indecisiveness as 10% were uncertain or declined to vote. Predictions based on initial polls point towards another direct clash between the two political heavyweights for the presidential role. Trump has been making impressive strides in key battleground states such as Georgia and Pennsylvania, which sided with the Democrats in the 2020 election. On the other hand, Biden still commands significant influence amongst the younger electorate, which has traditionally been instrumental in securing Democratic victories. Renowned research website FiveThirtyEight, has established that the current sentiment amongst voters isn't majorly in favor of either candidate serving a second term. According to them, the recent poll from New York Times/Siena College revealed that around 60% viewed Biden somewhat unfavorably or very unfavorably. A little over half of the respondents shared similar views about Trump. Despite criticism from within their Politican parties, it seems Trump garners substantial support amongst Republican voters. Even though he was declared guilty on multiple charges of business document tampering a few weeks back, a significant 68% of respondents claimed that it had no effect on their decision to vote for him.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Concerns about democracy are central to the 2024 election. Late last year, Gallup recorded a record low number of Americans who said they are satisfied with the way democracy is working. And in the latest polling from The New York Times/Siena College, 14 percent of voters said the economic and political system needs to be torn down entirely, while 55 percent said it needs major changes. To better understand how Americans are thinking about democracy heading into the election, 538 teamed up with PerryUndem, a nonpartisan research firm, to conduct focus groups with voters. In this installment of the 538 Politics podcast, we hear from those voters. We also speak with Gretchen Helmke of Bright Line Watch, which conducts regular polling of experts and Americans on the potential threats to democracy. Learn more about your ad choices.

Three months ago, as the presidential primaries were getting underway, President Joe Biden was trailing former President Donald Trump in the polls nationally and in battleground states, and concerns about his age were coming to the fore. The optimistic view for Biden was that once the presidential primaries were over, and it became clear that the choice was a 2020 rematch, the polls would move in his direction. But the polls have changed little. In fact, a new set of battleground polls from The New York Times/Siena College shows Biden trailing in all but one of the battleground states, with a lead for Trump as high as 12 points in Nevada. In this installment of the 538 Politics podcast, the crew asks why the end of the primaries, weeks of Biden campaigning and millions spent on advertising have changed the polls little. They also preview Tuesday's primaries in Maryland and West Virginia, in particular a very competitive Democratic Senate primary in Maryland. Learn more about your ad choices.

Washington, D.C. (AURN News) - President Joe Biden addressed the National Action Network Convention last Friday, making his case to Black America for why he should be elected to a second term in 2024. In his remarks, Biden touted the progress his administration has made for the Black community over the past four years. "Together, we've kept our promises to make some of the most significant investments in the Black American community ever,” he said. The president highlighted a number of his administration's key achievements, including providing direct financial assistance to families during the pandemic, rebuilding infrastructure in Black neighborhoods, lowering prescription drug costs, and supporting Black-owned small businesses. "The results are real," Biden declared. "We've reduced Black unemployment rate to its record low. More Black Americans have health insurance than ever before. More Black businesses are starting up than we've seen in the last 25 years." Biden's pitch to Black voters comes as the 2024 presidential race continues to take shape. The latest New York Times/Siena College poll shows a tight contest, with 46% of respondents saying they would vote for former President Donald Trump, 45% for Biden, and 8% undecided. As the road to the White House continues, President Biden will likely need to maintain strong support from Black voters if he hopes to secure a second term.  Learn more about your ad choices.

A February 2024 New York Times/Siena College poll reveals as many as 23 percent of Black respondents said they would vote for Trump if the election were held right then. The numbers are strikingly higher than they have been in the past — and they are notable for a community that has voted overwhelmingly for democrats and against Donald Trump specifically. So what, if anything, do such polls tell us about how politics may be shifting among Black voters right now?  Host Kai Wright is joined this week by Noel King, co-host of the podcast Today, Explained to discuss what the rise of Black Trump supporters signals to them. They also sit down with Brandon Tensley, a national politics reporter at Capital B, who covers the impact of policy and political movements on Black people in America.

Donald Trump is urging the incumbent US President, Joe Biden, to engage in a series of presidential debates - suggesting the details be left to Biden's discretion in terms of date, venue, and broadcast channel. An 81-year-old Biden is portrayed as a senior figure whose memory isn't quite as sharp as it used to be, this characterization stemming from a special counsel's description. A reluctance on Biden's side to accept the proposal for 2024 discussions has been apparent. In Trump's posts on Truth Social, he expressed his firm belief about the crucial importance of these debates for the nation. He articulated that the discussions revolving around pressing issues would be beneficial not only for America but also for its citizens. His flexible proposition echoes 'ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, ANYPLACE,' indicating an eagerness for such a debate to occur. He also added a bit of a twist to his proposition, stating that the responsibility of the orchestration of these debates could fall on the DNC - often accused of corruption - or their affiliate, the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD). This offer laiden with implications seemed to add an extra layer to his call. However, the response from the White House was less straightforward. When Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy inquired about this recent development to White House Press Secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, she remained tight-lipped, refusing to offer her statement about the matter. Now that the competition for the highest office in the land seems to be dwindling down to likely contenders, Doocy prodded further about Biden's stance. Would he commit to a debate with Donald Trump? This question proved vital. The Press Secretary's response was predictable yet unsatisfying. She redirected the question, suggesting that it was more appropriately handled by the campaign team. But this dodge was not quite enough to quell the growing curiosity around the topic. According to public opinion, a significant majority appears to question Biden's capacity to serve effectively due to his age. A recent New York Times/Siena College survey revealed that a substantial 73% of polled voters shared this validity of concern. Conversely, a mere quarter of those surveyed expressed confidence in Biden's ability to continue his duties effectively as President despite his advanced age. This stark contrast in public sentiment seems to underscore the overall concern about the President's capabilities. Doocy continued to probe the age topic, asking Jean-Pierre whether restriction from the debate would serve to exacerbate worries about the President's seniority and mental acuity. Once again, Jean-Pierre found herself in the hot seat, tasked with addressing a sensitive subject. Her response was quite similar to her previous reactions. She refused to engage in a discussion about the proposed debate, reiterating that this was a matter for the campaign to deal with. It was clear she would rather not make a public comment about the topic. One undeniable truth is that in an era of instant information and high stakes, both candidates and the public are under immense pressure. Candid and open discussions are increasingly a vital part of democracy and politics. As citizens, we all play a part in shaping the direction of our nation. Engaging in meaningful dialogues about the issues that matter most to us is arguably one of the most integral methods of involvement we can employ. The presidential debate platform has long been revered as one such space where those dialogues can take place. Whether or not Biden decides to embrace this tradition remains uncertain. In the end, the final decision lies in the hands of the ruling parties and their electoral strategies. However, it's without a doubt that the eyes of America, and the world, are focused on this developing story. The unfolding situation remains fascinating, with Americans looking for transparency and open discussion from their political leaders. The anticipation for a resolution to the debate dilemma continues to simmer, holding the nation in suspense.

Os resultados das primárias americanas demonstram um cenário praticamente definido para a disputa presidencial no final do ano entre o democrata Joe Biden e o republicano, Donald Trump. Questões como os rumos da economia e os problemas da imigração ilegal no país já começaram a fazer parte dos discursos dos candidatos. Mas é um outro tema que vem preocupando os eleitores americanos, principalmente os democratas: a idade de Joe Biden. Biden, com 81 anos, foi eleito o presidente mais idoso em exercício dos EUA. Se ganhar o segundo mandato, terá 86 anos ao deixar o cargo. Em pesquisa do New York Times/Siena College feita em seis estados-chave, uma maioria esmagadora de eleitores disse ter sérias preocupações com a idade de Biden, com 70% afirmando que ele é muito velho para ser presidente. Alguns episódios recentes têm preocupado os aliados de Joe Biden. No mês passado, Joe Biden cometeu uma gafe e confundiu o mandatário da França, Emmanuel Macron, com François Mitterrand, morto em 1996. Donald Trump tem usado esse fato para atacar seu adversário, ridicularizando pelo declínio cognitivo ou por uma gafe. O republicano que, por sinal, não é tão mais jovem: tem 77 anos.  Aqui no Brasil, essa discussão, em menor proporção, já começou quando se fala na possibilidade de reeleição do presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Caso isso aconteça, o petista terá 81 anos na próxima eleição e, caso vença, se tornará o presidente mais longevo da história do país, título que já é dele. Afinal, uma pessoa com mais de 80 anos oferece riscos para a demanda de um cargo como o de presidente de uma nação? A pressão que Biden está sofrendo é justa ou é etarismo? A idade avançada desses líderes é também um estímulo e valorização para os mais idosos? No ‘Estadão Notícias' de hoje, vamos conversar sobre o assunto com Alexandre Kalache, médico-gerontólogo, presidente do Centro Internacional da Longevidade Brasil.

Millions of voters in states across the country cast their ballots in the presidential primary on Super Tuesday, leaving little doubt that the November election will be a rematch between President Biden and former President Donald J.

It's Thursday, December 21st, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark English court upheld censorship zone at abortion mill A high court in England upheld a town's censorship zone around an abortion mill last week. The buffer zone bans activities like prayer and Bible reading. Livia Tossici-Bolt with 40 Days for Life Bournemouth, located 94 miles southwest of London, was challenging the buffer zone with the help of the Christian Legal Centre. They plan on appealing the decision. After the ruling, she said, “Everyone must have the freedom to pray quietly in a public place. … We are very disappointed by the judge's ruling and will continue to support women in crisis pregnancies and will continue to fight for justice.” Isaiah 10:1 says, “Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees.” Spanish Evangelicals growing in number In Spain, evangelicalism continues to grow, according to Evangelism in Depth. The historically Catholic country has reached 1,000 municipalities with an Evangelical church. Since 2011, the number of Evangelical places of worship in Spain has grown from about 3,000 to nearly 4,500. Máximo Álvarez with Evangelism in Depth explained the rapid growth. He said, “For many decades there have been churches and ministries with this vision of planting churches where there is still no Evangelical place of worship.” Fewer younger voters support Biden In the United States, young voters are dropping support for President Joe Biden. A New York Times/Siena College poll found 49% of voters aged 18 to 29 support former president Donald Trump, while only 43% support Biden. It's the first time Trump has led Biden among young voters since Biden took office. A poll from NBC News last month found similar results. Overall, Biden's approval rating stands at 37%. For young voters, it's even worse. Only 26% of them approve of Biden. IRS offering $1 billion in penalty relief The Internal Revenue Service announced Tuesday it is providing about $1 billion in penalty relief. The relief will affect 4.7 million individuals, businesses, and tax-exempt groups for returns filed in 2020 and 2021. The IRS plans to resume collection notices next year after a pause during the COVID-19 pandemic.  America's population grew primarily from migrants New data from the U.S. Census Bureau found America's population grew by 1.6 million this year. Most of the growth came from migration. It's the second year in a row that immigration fueled population growth.  There were also about 300,000 fewer deaths this year compared with last year. The vast majority of this year's growth was in the South. Florida and South Carolina led in terms of growth rates while New York had the biggest rate of population decline. United Methodist Church ripped asunder over homosexuality The United Methodist Church (UMC) has lost a quarter of its 30,000 congregations since 2019. Over 5,000 of the departures occurred this year alone. A deadline for disaffiliation is set for the end of the year. The final departures represent decades of debates in the denomination. Christianity Today dubbed it the “largest denominational divide in the United States since the Civil War.” Churches are leaving over the UMC's drift towards supporting sexually perverted lifestyles. Many are joining the Global Methodist Church which defines marriage as between one man and one woman. 103-year-old World War II veteran's advice: “Pray every night!” And finally, a California World War II veteran shared his story with Fox News recently after turning 103 last month. Sam Avolicino was born in southern Italy in 1920. His family emigrated to the U.S. when he was just three months old. He grew up in the Bay Area and has lived there for over 100 years. During World War II, Avolicino volunteered in the Army Air Force. After the war, he married his wife Agnes. They've been happily together for nearly 72 years. They have four children, six grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. Avolicino gave some particular advice for young people these days. He said, “I recommend all children pick up on God, start to believe in the hereafter, and go to church. Pray every night. God's been the most important person in my life. Respect your parents and listen to your parents. Don't let outside influences get to you, which is very difficult today.” Ephesians 6:1-3 says, “Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. ‘Honor your father and mother' (this is the first commandment with a promise), ‘that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.'” At 103 years of age, Sam Avolicino, who prioritized honoring his mother and father, has been blessed by a long life indeed.

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploration into one key issue shaping Israel and the Jewish World — right now. The past several weeks have seen the publication of a slew of high-profile opinion surveys on the war with Hamas. They include deep looks into the psyche of the Palestinian people in both the West Bank and Gaza and a probe into how Israeli Jews and Arabs differ in perspectives. Out of the United States, there are a few surveys that take the temperature of the American electorate during the war with Hamas. Among those with findings featured in the podcast is the poll from the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PSR). Between November 22 and December 2, questions were asked of 1231 adults, of whom 750 were interviewed face to face in the West Bank and 481 in the Gaza Strip. The findings are eye-opening. Next, we speak in depth about the Harvard CAPS/Harris poll, an online survey within the United States from December 13-14 among 2,034 registered voters. Rettig Gur notes that on several questions, voters in the 18-24 age group seemed to express contradicting or muddled views. He explains why. We also speak about The New York Times/Siena College poll of 1,016 registered US voters that was conducted by telephone from December 10 to 14. With similar, yet different questions about the war with Hamas, it is interesting to compare findings with the previous survey. Finally, we discuss the Israel Democracy Institute's seventh flash survey that was carried out between December 11–13, with 503 men and women interviewed via the internet and by telephone in Hebrew and 101 in Arabic. The schisms in Israeli society are made crystal clear. This week on What Matters Now, ToI's senior analyst Haviv Rettig Gur sits down for a frank discussion of some of the polls' findings in the first of an ongoing series of bi-weekly conversations on varied topical issues.

(AURN News) — President Joe Biden's bid for re-election in 2024 continues to face significant challenges, with various polls indicating a diminishing lead against former President Donald Trump. The president is grappling with mounting criticism, particularly concerning his age and the perceived direction of the nation, as voters question whether he can effectively handle another term. The latest New York Times/Siena College poll reveals a concerning trend for Biden. Among Black respondents, a notable 57% expressed the belief that the country is headed in the wrong direction. The survey also delved into concerns about age, with 56% of Black voters either strongly agreeing or somewhat agreeing that President Biden is too old to be an effective leader while 46% held a similar view regarding former President Trump. Notably, when asked about the potential impact of a second term for President Biden, only 10% of Black registered voters deemed it very good or somewhat good for the country. A significant majority, 65%, asserted that it would make no difference either way. Another surprising revelation from the poll is the ideological distribution in the Black community. While 44% identified as moderate, 25% considered themselves very or somewhat liberal, and 24% identified as very or somewhat conservative. Learn more about your ad choices.

Break 1: MOG   STORY 1: Man arrested for shooting mother and son in driveway of their Lawrenceville area home Terrance Alonzo Washington was arrested in Warner Robins after shooting a 44-year-old mother and her 20-year-old son in the driveway of their Lawrenceville home. The victims were critically injured and taken to the hospital. The shooting, believed to be domestic-related, occurred after police were dispatched to a domestic dispute call.

The victims were shot in the head, and the investigation is ongoing……….Read more at gwinnettdailypost.com   STORY 2: Why these five moms jumped out of a plane together Five moms, bonded by the loss of their children to brain tumors, formed a close friendship and raised £70,700 for the Tessa Jowell Foundation by skydiving together. Louise Fox, Niki O'Dea Patel, Nikki Treharne, Clair Todd, and Katie Dove lost their children between 2020 and 2022. They connected on Facebook during their children's treatments and formed the "Forever Moms of Brain Tumor Angels" group. Their skydive helped them feel closer to their children in heaven.

These credits include Qualified Education Expense, Foster Child Donation, Law Enforcement Donation, and Rural Hospital Organization Expense Credits. By contributing to approved organizations, taxpayers receive a dollar-for-dollar reduction in state tax liability. Credits are subject to caps and require pre-approval through the Georgia Tax Center. Contributions beyond the tax liability can be carried forward for up to five years. The process involves applying for approval, making a payment within 60 days of approval, and receiving acknowledgment for tax filing. These credits empower taxpayers to support causes meaningful to them. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info.

Despite Biden's successes, a New York Times/Siena College poll reveals Trump leading in five out of six crucial states, attributing it largely to Biden's perceived age (81). Calls for Biden to forgo reelection intensify to avoid an existential threat to democracy. Trump's autocratic tendencies post-presidency raise concerns, as plans include using the Justice Department against critics and deploying the military against protests. Urgent pleas urge Biden to step aside and avoid risking Trump's return.   STORY 5: Device that ‘smells' seawater being used to search for new medicines Scientists have developed a device, the In Situ Marine moleculE Logger (I-SMEL), which "smells" seawater to capture and analyze dissolved compounds from marine organisms. This non-invasive tool was tested in Mediterranean Sea caves and proved promising for drug discovery. The I-SMEL, handled by divers, uses disks to concentrate dissolved molecules released by sponges and other organisms. The researchers identified diverse compounds, including unknown structures, with potential applications in medicine. The device offers a way to study underwater ecosystems' health and discover new natural products without harming fragile environments. The team aims to adapt the device for remote operation in deeper waters.   We'll be back in a moment   Break 3:  JACKSON EMC – ESOG - INGLES 6   STORY 6: DTL And now here is my conversation with Duffie Dixon from the Gwinnett County Library.   STORY 7: DTL Interview   We'll have final thoughts after this.   Break 4: GCPS - Henssler 60   Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post podcast.

This amounts to a doubling of interest costs over the past 19 months, according to Bloomberg. It is the equivalent of 15.9 percent of the Federal budget for fiscal year 2022. The worsening metrics may reignite debate about the US fiscal path amid heavy borrowing from Washington. That dynamic has already helped drive up bond yields, threatened the return of the so-called bond vigilantes and led Fitch Ratings to downgrade US government debt in August. “There will be further increases to Treasury coupon auctions and T-bills outstanding going forward,” Bloomberg Intelligence strategists Ira Jersey and Will Hoffman wrote in a research note. “Besides deficits of over $2 trillion in the foreseeable future, climbing maturities following the increase of issuance from March 2020 will also need to be refinanced.” The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the cumulative deficit for the 2024–2033 period will total $20.2 trillion, or 6.1 percent of GDP. Deficits are expected to be at least 5.5 percent of GDP every year for the coming decade. Since 1973, the federal government budget deficit has averaged 3.6 percent of GDP. https://dailycaller.com/2023/11/07/van-jones-biden-retire-2024-election-drop-out/ ‘It’s Time’: CNN’s Van Jones Says Biden Needs To Consider Retiring CNN’s Van Jones said Tuesday that President Joe Biden needs to consider retiring following a poll from The New York Times/Siena College. The Sunday poll found president Donald Trump leading Biden by a substantial margin in five out of six key swing states. Biden holds a slight edge within the margin of error over Trump in Wisconsin. Jones argued Biden is in a tough position. Video Plays Several pundits have questioned whether Biden should drop out of the race, with CNN’s David Axelrod saying the president needs to decide whether staying in the race is “in his best interest or the country’s.” Director of Defending Democracy Together Bill Kristol posted on X that Biden needs to make an act of “personal sacrifice.” “It’s time. President Biden has served our country well. I’m confident he’ll do so for the next year. But it’s time for an act of personal sacrifice and public spirit. It’s time to pass the torch to the next generation. It’s time for Biden to announce he won’t run in 2024,” Kristol wrote. https://hotair.com/karen-townsend/2023/11/07/future-darwin-award-winner-tried-to-target-jewish-children-in-americas-midwest-n590580 Future Darwin Award Winner Tried to Target Jewish Children in America's Midwest A woman in Indiana plowed her car into a building she thought was a Jewish school. The police describe her as a terrorist and she was arrested at the scene. Not only was her intention to hurt or kill Jewish school children in their school in Indianapolis but she was completely mistaken about her target. The 34-year-old terrorist woman, allegedly backed her vehicle into a building associated with Black Hebrew Israelites on Friday. She admitted to the police that she specifically targeted the building because she was offended by a Hebrew Israelite symbol in front. This psycho thought she was entitled to try to harm children because she was offended by a symbol in front of the building, apparently. There were several adults and children in the building at the time. However, they were not who the woman thought they were. She said, “Yes. I did it on purpose.” She kept describing the building as the “Israel school” and she spoke about “her people back in Palestine.” According to the Anti-Defamation League, the Israelite School of Universal and Practical Knowledge is a sect of the Black Hebrew Israelites. It is an extremist group that is anti-Israel. The Southern Poverty Law Center (I know) has designated them as a hate group. So, ironically, the unhinged and offended the woman plowed into the building used by a group who hate Israel as she does. She is Darwin Award material. An investigation is underway. There may be additional charges brought against her. The Jewish Federation of Greater Indianapolis said Safe Indiana, a Jewish community security program, is working with cops to probe the incident. “Safety and security for our community is of the utmost importance, and we are more secure and prepared than ever before,” the federation said in a statement. “Although a Jewish facility was not targeted, solely due to ironic misidentification, this is yet another reminder to maintain security protocols, remain vigilant of suspicious activity and to (report promptly) to the appropriate authorities.” These random acts of terror seem to be increasing. FBI Director Christopher Wray recently warned of lone wolf attacks. Wray said Hamas inspired terrorists pose a threat not seen since the days of ISIS. She confessed that she was motivated to do the attack after watching news coverage of the Israel-Hamas war. She is originally from Amman, Jordan. Wray said that while Hamas is assessed to have no capabilities inside the US, other actors – possible radicalized individuals or small groups – could take inspiration from the terror group in a way similar to ISIS. Speaking to the Senate’s Homeland Security Committee, he said: “We assess that the actions of Hamas and its allies will serve as an inspiration, the likes of which we haven’t seen since ISIS launched its so-called caliphate several years ago. “In just the past few weeks, multiple foreign terrorist organizations have called for attacks against Americans and the West.” He said: “Here in the United States, our most immediate concern is that violent extremists – individuals or small groups – will draw inspiration from the events in the Middle East to carry out attacks against Americans going about their daily lives.” She was charged with a preliminary charge of criminal recklessness. Her first court appearance is scheduled for today, November 8. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/255928/vatican-hospital-offers-to-treat-critically-ill-baby-denied-life-support-in-britain Vatican hospital offers to treat critically ill baby denied life support in Britain The Vatican’s pediatric hospital has offered to treat 8-month-old baby Indi Gregory after a British court ruled that she be removed from life support against her parents’ wishes. Gregory, who was born in February, suffers from a rare degenerative mitochondrial disease and has been receiving life-sustaining treatment on a ventilator at the Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham, England. After England’s high court ruled that it was in the child’s “best interests” to be taken off life support, Gregory’s parents appealed to take her to Rome for treatment, an appeal that was denied by a British judge over the weekend. The Italian government decided in an emergency meeting on Monday to grant the critically ill child Italian citizenship and to cover the cost of her medical treatment at the Vatican’s Bambino Gesù (jay-zoo) hospital. “They say there isn’t much hope for little Indi, but until the very end, I’ll do what I can to defend her life,” Italian President Giorgia Meloni wrote on social media on Nov. 6. “And to defend the right of her mamma and papa to do all that they can for her.” The Bambino Gesù hospital has previously offered medical treatment to other critically ill children, including Alfie Evans in 2018 and Charlie Gard in 2017, both of whom were ultimately denied the chance to travel to Italy by U.K. courts and died days after being removed from life support. Christian Concern has published a letter from the president of the Bambino Gesù hospital outlining “a detailed treatment plan” for the child, which includes “life-sustaining treatment and palliative care to ensure Indi’s survival and comfort while the treatments take effect.” Andrea Williams, chief executive of Christian Concern and the Christian Legal Centre supporting the Gregorys’ case, has noted that this is believed to be the first time that a parent’s appeal against an order to withdraw life-sustaining treatment has been rejected by the Court of Appeal without a hearing. “The law is there to protect life and the most vulnerable in our society. What is happening in this case sets a very worrying precedent with regard to that principle,” Williams said. “It is very concerning that a child can be held against the parents’ wishes when they have alternative treatment available.” With the newly granted Italian citizenship, the child’s parents, Dean Gregory and Claire Staniforth, can appeal to the Italian consulate in Britain to request that their daughter be airlifted to Italy for treatment, according to Reuters. Simone Pillon (pee-lone), an Italian lawyer assisting the Gregory family, wrote on Nov. 7: “We are working to find an agreement between the two countries to satisfy the family’s request and treat Indi in Rome.” In response to the Italian government’s decision, Dean Gregory, Indi’s father, said: “My heart fills up with joy that the Italians have given Claire and I hope and faith back in humanity. The Italians have shown us care and loving support and I wish the U.K. authorities were the same.” https://nypost.com/2023/11/06/news/texas-southern-tuba-player-punches-heckler-in-the-stands-video/ Marching Band turns into Marching Hands? Texas Southern band member punches heckler in the stands, continues playing - He didn’t miss a beat. A Texas Southern University tuba player swiftly knocked out an obnoxious heckler during a football game Saturday before carrying on playing his instrument. Video taken from the stands during Saturday’s game between Texas Southern and Jackson State shows the college band’s tuba player bouncing along to the music while a fan starts yelling at him. A Jackson State fan can be seen in the footage aggressively yelling at the tuba player, who is attempting to continue playing with the band. Seeming to have had enough of the outburst, the Texas Southern tuba player says something to the man before swiftly punching him four times in the face. The Texas Southern band member then returns to his instrument as if the altercation never happened. In one recording of the incident, the band member can be heard telling the aggressive fan, “F–k off, b—h.” It’s unclear whether the heckler, who stumbled back several feet in the stands, sustained any injuries from the scuffle. It’s also unclear whether police responded to the incident or if any action was taken against the band member. Texas Southern University ended up losing to Jackson State, 21-19. https://www.outkick.com/field-hockey-teammate-issues-bold-statement-against-miaa-for-allowing-male-players-to-compete-against-women/ FIELD HOCKEY CAPTAIN SLAMS MASSACHUSETTS LAW ALLOWING BOYS ON GIRLS TEAMS AFTER BRUTAL INJURY TO HER TEAMMATE Men competing against women in sports spawned another tragic story on Thursday when a female field hockey player suffered significant injuries to her face after taking a shot from a male opponent. The female high schooler played on Dighton-Rehoboth High School’s team, and now the co-captain / teammate of her squad is speaking up and calling for policy change to prohibit men from competing against women to avoid further incidents. Kelsey Bain, who plays on Dighton-Rehoboth and is the co-captain of the field hockey team, posted a letter on X, directed at the MIAA to change the association’s policy that allows men to compete against women. “This is a letter I sent to the MIAA in response to the recent Swampscott vs. Dighton-Rehoboth field hockey incident,” Kelsey Bain posted on X, including the three-page notice. Women’s rights activist and OutKick host Riley Gaines shared Bain’s statement on social media. The man played for Swampscott High School, who played Dighton-Rehoboth in a playoff field hockey contest on Thursday. Under the MIAA’s ruling — the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association — men can compete against women if a sport does not offer their gender’s league. The man’s shot knocked several of the girl’s teeth out and caused serious facial injuries. Video of the hit shows the girl writhing in pain and screaming. To prevent these incidents from continuing, Kelsey Bain is stepping into the discourse, understanding that the association will not budge on the issue unless they are challenged. Dighton-Rehoboth Superintendent Bill Runey put out a statement, identifying that the opponent was indeed a man and relaying the horror of the team personnel after one of their own suffered a brutal injury. Runey said, “Last night, a female field hockey player for the Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School girls’ field hockey team sustained significant facial and dental injuries when she was struck in the face by a shot in the third quarter versus Swampscott in an MIAA state playoff contest. “The shot was taken by a male member of the Swampscott girls field hockey team. This injury required hospitalization. The player, her family, teammates, and coaches remain in my prayers.”

Simone Pillon (pee-lone), an Italian lawyer assisting the Gregory family, wrote on Nov. 7: “We are working to find an agreement between the two countries to satisfy the family’s request and treat Indi in Rome.” In response to the Italian government’s decision, Dean Gregory, Indi’s father, said: “My heart fills up with joy that the Italians have given Claire and I hope and faith back in humanity. The Italians have shown us care and loving support and I wish the U.K. authorities were the same.” https://nypost.com/2023/11/06/news/texas-southern-tuba-player-punches-heckler-in-the-stands-video/ Marching Band turns into Marching Hands? Texas Southern band member punches heckler in the stands, continues playing - He didn’t miss a beat. A Texas Southern University tuba player swiftly knocked out an obnoxious heckler during a football game Saturday before carrying on playing his instrument. Video taken from the stands during Saturday’s game between Texas Southern and Jackson State shows the college band’s tuba player bouncing along to the music while a fan starts yelling at him. A Jackson State fan can be seen in the footage aggressively yelling at the tuba player, who is attempting to continue playing with the band. Seeming to have had enough of the outburst, the Texas Southern tuba player says something to the man before swiftly punching him four times in the face. The Texas Southern band member then returns to his instrument as if the altercation never happened. In one recording of the incident, the band member can be heard telling the aggressive fan, “F–k off, b—h.” It’s unclear whether the heckler, who stumbled back several feet in the stands, sustained any injuries from the scuffle. It’s also unclear whether police responded to the incident or if any action was taken against the band member. Texas Southern University ended up losing to Jackson State, 21-19. https://www.outkick.com/field-hockey-teammate-issues-bold-statement-against-miaa-for-allowing-male-players-to-compete-against-women/ FIELD HOCKEY CAPTAIN SLAMS MASSACHUSETTS LAW ALLOWING BOYS ON GIRLS TEAMS AFTER BRUTAL INJURY TO HER TEAMMATE Men competing against women in sports spawned another tragic story on Thursday when a female field hockey player suffered significant injuries to her face after taking a shot from a male opponent. The female high schooler played on Dighton-Rehoboth High School’s team, and now the co-captain / teammate of her squad is speaking up and calling for policy change to prohibit men from competing against women to avoid further incidents. Kelsey Bain, who plays on Dighton-Rehoboth and is the co-captain of the field hockey team, posted a letter on X, directed at the MIAA to change the association’s policy that allows men to compete against women. “This is a letter I sent to the MIAA in response to the recent Swampscott vs. Dighton-Rehoboth field hockey incident,” Kelsey Bain posted on X, including the three-page notice. Women’s rights activist and OutKick host Riley Gaines shared Bain’s statement on social media. The man played for Swampscott High School, who played Dighton-Rehoboth in a playoff field hockey contest on Thursday. Under the MIAA’s ruling — the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association — men can compete against women if a sport does not offer their gender’s league. The man’s shot knocked several of the girl’s teeth out and caused serious facial injuries. Video of the hit shows the girl writhing in pain and screaming. To prevent these incidents from continuing, Kelsey Bain is stepping into the discourse, understanding that the association will not budge on the issue unless they are challenged. Dighton-Rehoboth Superintendent Bill Runey put out a statement, identifying that the opponent was indeed a man and relaying the horror of the team personnel after one of their own suffered a brutal injury. Runey said, “Last night, a female field hockey player for the Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School girls’ field hockey team sustained significant facial and dental injuries when she was struck in the face by a shot in the third quarter versus Swampscott in an MIAA state playoff contest. “The shot was taken by a male member of the Swampscott girls field hockey team. This injury required hospitalization. The player, her family, teammates, and coaches remain in my prayers.”

President Joe Biden's approval rating has hit a seven-month low, plummeting to 39 percent, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll. The drop comes as the 2024 presidential race heats up, showing Biden locked in a neck-and-neck battle with former President Donald Trump. Critics have been questioning Biden's leadership, particularly on matters concerning the economy and foreign policy. Meanwhile, the age factor has also come into play as Biden, at 80 years old, faces doubts about whether he's fit to lead. Interestingly, Trump is 77, and not far behind. A New York Times Siena College poll has Trump leading Biden in five out of six battleground states, with Biden only holding a lead in Wisconsin. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked how the administration felt about these numbers. "Really take these polls with a grain of salt. And one of the reasons why is just a year ago, there was the 'red wave' that never materialized. In 2011, we saw polls of Senator Romney beating President Obama. And that's where those polls were," Jean-Pierre said. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The latest New York Times/Siena College survey of six key battleground states finds President Biden hemorrhaging support in states he carried in 2020 and needs to win again to earn a second term, with young voters and voters of color in particular souring on Biden and throwing their support to Trump. The poll finds Trump opening a double-digit lead in Nevada and ahead by at least five points in Arizona, Michigan and Georgia. Voters across the political spectrum think Joe Biden is too old to continue as president, even though he's just three and a half years older than Donald Trump.  For more on this, KCBS Radio's Doug Sovern and Patti Reising spoke with political scientist Anna Sampaio, professor of Ethnic Studies at Santa Clara University, where she specializes in Latino politics and race and gender politics.

Full Hour | Today, Dom led off the Dom Giordano Program by telling of some exciting polling results, telling that in a new New York Times/Siena College poll, Trump is pulling away from Biden in a head to head matchup. Dom reveals the intricacies of the poll, telling that Biden has lost a good chunk of both minority and young voters, two sects that the Democrats usually rely on to win elections. Then, Dom introduces the side topic of the day, telling how he hates Daylight Savings Time, and asks listeners for something for which there should be a law written. Then, Dom delves into the game yesterday between the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys, telling of an incident involving local Democratic power broker George Norcross, who caused an incident after displaying a flag of Israel outside his box seat.

A new New York Times/Siena College poll of 3,662 registered voters in six swing states shows Donald Trump leading Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential race (From the NY Times: "When all states are combined, the margin of sampling error is plus or minus 1.8 percentage points. The margin of sampling error for each state is between 4.4 and 4.8 percentage points.")Michael asks today's Daily Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Do you accept the accuracy of the new Times/Siena poll showing Trump leading Biden in 5 of 6 battleground states? Listen here, then vote! Original air date 6 November 2023.

In this episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Politically Georgia podcast, hosts Bill Nigut and Tia Mitchell look at a New York Times/Siena College poll that is troubling news for President Biden's re-election. The poll shows Donald Trump leading President Biden in five of six battleground states that Biden won in 2020. The poll shows Trump ahead in Georgia by six points. Overall, the Times reports that Biden is losing support among Black, Hispanic and young voters in the six states polled. (The AJC is preparing a poll focused specifically on Georgia voters that will be released later this week.)   Plus, Michael Thurmond has been a public official for most of his career, serving in the legislature, as labor commissioner, interim superintendent of DeKalb schools and now CEO of DeKalb County. But he's long been mentioned as a potential candidate for governor. Will he decided to run for the job in 2026? He won't rule it out.   And, Israel's massive military response to the barbaric Hamas attack on Israel is becoming increasingly contentious among some members of Congress and beyond. Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib drew for comments in which she said President Biden is supporting Israel's “genocide” against the Palestinian people. Georgia's Marjorie Taylor Greene, who lost a vote to censure Tlaib for alleged antisemitic remarks in the past, has refiled a censure motion based on Tlaib's most recent accusations. Olens and Thurmond discuss the balance between Israel's right to take strong action to wipe out Hamas and the need to treat innocent Palestinians in a humane manner.   Have a question for the show?

Former President Trump was indicted yesterday on federal charges over his efforts to subvert American democracy and overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, which he lost. It's the third indictment brought against Trump, who now faces a total of 78 criminal counts and a $40 million (and growing) legal bill. And yet, according to a a New York Times/Siena College poll released Monday, he is demolishing the field for the Republican nomination, leading second-place Ron DeSantis 54% to 17%. The likelihood is high that he will be the Republican nominee and that despite everything, the general election could be very close. So... what's your plan if he gets fairly re-elected? N

The newest co-defendant in the special counsel's criminal case against former President Trump and his staff over their alleged mishandling of classified information made his first court appearance. Carlos De Oliveira, the Mar-a-Lago property manager, was indicted by a grand jury on four charges last week and was released on $100,000 bond pending trial. Trump and his aide Walt Nauta have already pleaded not guilty in the case after being indicted in June. Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe tells Anderson Cooper if there's still time for De Oliveira to cooperate with Jack Smith's investigators. Plus, in a New York Times/Siena College poll of the likely Republican primary electorate, the former president is dominating his rivals for the GOP presidential nomination. New Hampshire Republican Gov. Chris Sununu joins AC360 to discuss who he thinks has the best chance at challenging Trump.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

In January, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis seemed like a real contender to win the GOP presidential nomination over former U.S. president Donald Trump. His team pitched his Florida track record, electability and “war on woke” ideals as a Trump-like candidate without the baggage. But now, just two months into his White House bid, DeSantis's campaign is in trouble. A New York Times/Siena College poll found the Florida Governor is trailing Trump by 37 percentage points nationally. Meanwhile, the campaign has undergone a reboot, firing staff, cutting costs and reevaluating its strategy. Today, Isaac Arnsdorf, a national political reporter for the Washington Post and the author of Finish What We Started, takes us through the hype, the strategy and where the DeSantis campaign has gone wrong.

A key associate of President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden arrived on Capitol Hill in Washington on July 31 to testify to Congress. Republicans are probing the president's involvement with his son's business dealings, including allegations that the Bidens paid bribes to the owner of Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian energy company. Devon Archer, who served with Mr. Hunter Biden on Burisma's board of directors, spoke behind closed doors with members of the House Oversight Committee. An employee of former President Donald Trump appeared in a Miami courtroom, facing accusations that he conspired to obstruct justice and lied to investigators probing Mr. Trump's handling of classified documents. In a separate case, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney has rejected Mr. Trump's bid to disqualify the lead prosecutor investigating allegations he interfered in Georgia's 2020 presidential election, while also denying Mr. Trump's attempt to block any indictments stemming from the probe. Despite his legal woes, a newly released New York Times/Siena College poll showed that Mr. Trump has 54 percent support among likely Republican primary voters, leading Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis by a staggering 37-point margin. Meanwhile, Mr. DeSantis unveiled a 10-point economic policy plan that would cut most trade ties with China, slash regulations, reinvigorate the nation's energy production, and “rein in the Federal Reserve.” ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

Twice-indicted former President Trump is bracing for potentially more charges, but it's not hurting his polling. A New York Times/Siena College poll shows him with a 54% lead of likely Republican voters picking Trump, despite his legal troubles. Plus, the a Mar-a-Lago property manager, who's accused of trying to delete security footage, is set to be arraigned in the classified documents case today. And, that summertime sickness may be more than just a cold. Health officials are seeing signs of a new Covid surge. Also this morning: CNN learns that Trump's leadership PAC has spent $40 million on legal fees since start of the year, and an American nurse and her child have been abducted from the campus of a Christian humanitarian organization in Haiti.

More than half of all registered voters see the mainstream media as a threat to American democracy, according to a new poll. A New York Times-Siena College poll published Tuesday found 59 percent of voters view the media as a “major threat to democracy,” while 25 percent said the press is a “minor threat” and only 15 percent said it poses no threat.

With nearly three weeks until the midterm elections in November, Republicans may have a good shot at gaining the majority in both the House and Senate. Democrats saw boosted support over the summer after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, but that enthusiasm may be waning. The tide may be turning for Republicans, despite trailing Democrats just one month ago. A New York Times-Siena College poll shows a bump in support for Republicans in recent weeks.  Plus, President Biden's approval ratings plunged over the summer to record lows because of high gas prices and inflation, and they still haven't completely recovered. Nearly half of likely voters say they strongly disapprove of Biden's job performance. Republicans only need to pick up five seats in Congress to gain the majority, and just one for control of the Senate. So, what would the first changes a Republican-controlled Congress would make? And how would a conservative legislative branch work with Biden on matters like abortion, Russia's war against Ukraine, or a possible recession? Host David Greene discusses with Mo Elleithee, executive director of Georgetown University's Institute of Politics and Public Service, on the left; and Sarah Isgur, staff writer at The Dispatch, on the right. Plus, the new Supreme Court session is in full swing, but many Americans are questioning if the highest court has become too politicized. Special guest Dahlia Lithwick, senior editor at Slate and author of “Lady Justice: Women, The Law and the Battle to Save America,” weighs in on judicial gender parity, and why she's worried about an uprising among those in the legal profession.  Despite President Biden's promise to unify the country, our politics seem more divisive than ever. Are universities to blame? And is an overrepresentation of liberals in higher education changing our political sphere?

Two-thirds of Democratic voters want someone other than Joe Biden to be their party's candidate for the White House in 2024, according to a New York Times/Siena College poll. Their top concern: his age. Joe Biden will turn 80 this year. He's already the oldest American president in history. His predecessor, who wants to run again, is 76. It's not just the American presidency that's gone grey. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is 82. Her second in command, Steny Hoyer, is 83. Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell is 80. But how old is too old? What does age exactly mean in politics? What explains America's aging leadership, and does that really hurt the function of democracy? Host Zhao Ying is joined by Aaron Kall, Director of Debate at the University of Michigan, Prof. Aubrey Jewett from the University of Central Florida, and Prof. Mark Shanahan from the University of Surrey.

Is a recession likely? Depends on who you ask. Ben Casselman, economics and business reporter for The New York Times, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss a New York Times/Siena College poll that shows voter pessimism – even as wages are rising and unemployment is low – and why that negative outlook could be a self-fulfilling prophecy. His article, co-written with Lydia DePillis, is headlined “Voters See a Bad Economy, Even if They're Doing OK.”

American politics has an age problem. At least, that's what voters think. According to a new New York Times/Siena College poll, 33 percent of Democrats who want a different candidate for president in 2024 pointed to Joe Biden's age as a motivating factor. But a nearly equal percentage say they aren't keen to have Biden for a second term because of his job performance — or lack thereof. Could the answer to appease voters be that Democrats just need some young blood? Or is there a deeper rift between voters — especially young ones — and political leadership?Jane Coaston brings together Michelle Cottle, a Times editorial board member, and David Brooks, an Opinion columnist, to parse out what we are really talking about when we talk about age in politics. “What is age actually a proxy for?” Cottle asks. “Is it your concerns about fading ability, or is it concerns about a lack of fighting spirit?” But for Brooks, the question is centered more on stagnancy: “Why has the gerontocracy been able to stay in power? What is it about these people that they've been able to persevere and just stick around?”Mentioned in this episode:“The Case for Age Limits in American Politics” by Jack Holmes in EsquireYou can read Michelle Cottle's work in The New York Times here and David Brooks's work here(A full transcript of the episode will be available midday on the Times website.)

New polling from Pew Research and from New York Times/Siena College, released a few days apart, cast similarly dismal pictures regarding the popularity of President Joe Biden. Overall approval for Biden from New York Times/Siena College stands at 33 percent and from Pew 37 percent. However, both polls show approval for the president much stronger than the national average among minorities. The New York Times/ Siena College poll shows Black approval for Biden at 62 percent, which, according to the Times, is higher than “any other race or ethnicity, age group or education level.” Per Pew, Black approval for Biden...Article Link

Tonight is the eighth and last of the scheduled public hearings of the House Select Committee on the January 6 attack (the committee is still gathering evidence and may schedule additional hearings). So this is a good time to press the pause button and examine what the committee is accomplishing. The committee is clearly building a criminal case against Trump and his closest enablers of seditious conspiracy, a crime defined as “conspiring to overthrow, put down, or destroy by force the government of the United States or to oppose by force the authority thereof.” I expect the committee will make a criminal referral to the Justice Department, handing over all its evidence. Ideally, Trump, along with Giuliani, Powell, Stone, Flynn, Navarro, Bannon, Meadows, and other co-conspirators, will be convicted and end up in jail. But the Committee has a second purpose — one that has received too little attention: to stop Trump's continuing attack on American democracy. Even as the committee reveals Trump's attempted coup in the months leading up to and during the January 6 attack, the attempted coup continues. Trump hasn't stopped giving speeches to stir up angry mobs with his Big Lie — he'll be giving another tomorrow in Arizona. Trump hasn't stopped pushing states to alter the outcomes of the 2020 election — last week he urged Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos to support a resolution that would retract Wisconsin's 10 electoral votes cast for Biden. Trump is actively backing candidates who propound the Lie. Several prominent Republican candidates for the Senate and for governor — such as JD Vance in Ohio, Blake Masters in Arizona, and Doug Mastriano in Pennsylvania — are running on it. Republican candidates across America are using increasingly violent language. Republicans lawmakers in several states are enacting legislation to take over election machinery and ignore the popular vote. Meanwhile, the lives of committee members and their families have been threatened. Witnesses are receiving gangster-style warnings not to cooperate. The committee's message to all of America, including Republicans: Stop supporting this treachery. In other words, the committee's work is not just backward-looking — revealing Trump's attempted coup. It is also forward-looking, appealing to Americans to reject his continuing attempted coup. In order to accomplish this, the committee is doing six important things:First, it's making crystal clear that the continuing attempted coup is based on a lie — which is why the committee has repeatedly shown Trump's Attorney General William Barr, saying:I saw absolutely zero basis for the allegations [of voter fraud], but they were made in such a sensational way that they obviously were influencing a lot of people, members of the public, that there was this systemic corruption in the system and that their votes didn't count and that these machines controlled by somebody else were actually determining it, which was complete nonsense. And it was being laid out there, and I told them that it was — that it was crazy stuff and they were wasting their time on that. And it was doing a grave disservice to the country. Second, the committee is showing that the battle between democracy and authoritarian is non-partisan. Not only are the committee's vice-chairman Liz Cheney and committee member Adam Kinzinger, Republican representatives, but most of the committee's witnesses are Republicans who worked in the Trump White House or as Republican-elected state officials, or they staffed Republican legislators or served as judges appointed by Republican presidents. All appear before the committee as American citizens who are disgusted by and worried about Trump's attempted coup. When Cheney displayed a message Trump tweeted after the assault on the Capitol began, in which he claimed Vice President Pence "didn't have the courage to do what should have been done," Cheney asked former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson for her reaction. Hutchinson responded:As a staffer that works to always represent the administration to the best of my ability, and to showcase the good things that he had done for the country, I remember feeling frustrated, disappointed, it felt personal, I was really sad. As an American, I was disgusted. It was unpatriotic, it was un-American. We were watching the Capitol building get defaced over a lie.Third, the committee is appealing to Republican lawmakers to stop supporting Trump's continuing attempted coup. During the first televised hearing, Liz Cheney issued an explicit warning: We take our oath to defend the United States constitution. And that oath must mean something. Tonight. I say this to my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible. There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain. Fourth, the committee wants the public to see that average Americans have fallen for Trump's treachery, with disastrous results. Witness Stephen Ayres, who described himself as “nothing but a family man and a working man” participated in the January 6 attack because Trump “basically put out, you know, come to the Stop the Steal rally, you know, and I felt like I needed to be down here. … I was, you know, I was very upset, as were most of his supporters.” When Liz Cheney asked Ayers, “Would it have made a difference to you to know that President Trump himself had no evidence of widespread fraud?” he replied, “Oh, definitely … I may not have come down here then.”Fifth, the committee is reminding Americans of their duties to democracy. Committee chair Bennie Thompson, last week:When I think about the most basic way to explain the importance of elections in the United States, there's a phrase that always comes to mind. It may sound straightforward, but it's meaningful. We settle our differences at the ballot box. Sometimes my choice prevails, sometimes yours does, but it's that simple. We cast our votes. We count the votes. If something seems off with the results, we can challenge them in court, and then we accept the results. When you're on the losing side, that doesn't mean you have to be happy about it. And in the United States, there's plenty you can do and say so. You can protest. You can organize. You can get ready for the next election to try to make sure your side has a better chance the next time the people settle their differences at the ballot box. But you can't turn violent. You can't try to achieve your desired outcome through force or harassment or intimidation. Any real leader who sees their supporters going down that path, approaching that line has a responsibility to say stop, we gave it our best, we came up short, we try again next time, because we settle our differences at the ballot box.Others on the committee have spoken about the danger to democracy of mobs and demagogues. Here's committee member Jamie Raskin: In 1837, a racist mob in Alton, Illinois broke into the offices of an abolitionist newspaper and killed its editor, Elijah Lovejoy. Lincoln wrote a speech in which he said that no transatlantic military giant could ever crush us as a nation, even with all of the fortunes in the world. But if downfall ever comes to America, he said, we ourselves would be its author and finisher. If racist mobs are encouraged by politicians to rampage and terrorize, Lincoln said, they will violate the rights of other citizens and quickly destroy the bonds of social trust necessary for democracy to work. Mobs and demagogues will put us on a path to political tyranny, Lincoln said. This very old problem has returned with new ferocity today, as a president who lost an election deployed a mob, which included dangerous extremists, to attack the constitutional system of election and the peaceful transfer of power. Finally, the committee is showing that Trump's attempted coup is ongoing. Near the end of last week's hearing, Cheney revealed that:After our last hearing, President Trump tried to call a witness in our investigation. A witness you have not yet seen in these hearings. That person declined to answer or respond to President Trump's call and instead alerted their lawyer to the call. Their lawyer alerted us and this committee has supplied that information to the Department of Justice. Let me say one more time, we will take any effort to influence witness testimony very seriously.I have no idea whether the hearings will lead to criminal indictments and convictions of Trump and his enablers, but I do believe the hearings are finding their way into the public's consciousness. This may prove to be as — if not more — valuable than a criminal proceeding. Not even a criminal conviction will change the minds of those who believe Trump's Big Lie; to the contrary, it may make them even more suspicious or paranoid, possibly leading to further violence. But the hearings may begin to convince Trump supporters that he's a dangerous charlatan. The hearings already appear to be having an effect. The percentage of Republicans who say Trump misled people about the 2020 election has ticked up since last month, while a majority of Americans say Trump committed a crime. At the same time, Trump's enormous fundraising operation has slowed. A New York Times/Siena College poll last week that showed nearly half of Republican primary voters would rather vote for a Republican other than Trump in 2024. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who may run in 2024, has been gaining on Trump in some polls, including in New Hampshire, the first primary state, where one recent survey had DeSantis statistically tied with Trump among Republican primary voters. In 1954, I watched the Army-McCarthy hearings from our living room sofa — my father and I squinting into a tiny television screen (my father yelling “son-of-a-b***h!” every time McCarthy or his chief counsel, Roy Cohn, spoke). McCarthy had picked a fight with the U.S. Army, charging lax security at a top-secret army facility. The army hired Boston lawyer Joseph Welch to make its case. At a session on June 9, 1954, McCarthy charged that one of Welch's young staff attorneys had ties to a Communist organization. As the television audience looked on, Welch responded with the lines that ultimately ended McCarthy's career: "Until this moment, Senator, I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness." When McCarthy tried to continue his attack, Welch angrily interrupted, "Let us not assassinate this lad further, senator. You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency?"Almost overnight, McCarthy's immense national popularity evaporated. Censured by his Senate colleagues, ostracized by his party, and ignored by the press, McCarthy died three years later, 48 years old and a broken man.

"Soldiers who refuse the vaccination order without an approved or pending exemption request are subject to adverse administrative actions, including flags, bars to service, and official reprimands," an Army spokesperson said in a statement. "In the future, Soldiers who continue to refuse the vaccination order without an exemption may be subject to additional adverse administrative action, including separation." There are 40,000 National Guard and 22,000 Reserve soldiers who haven't received the vaccine, making up 13% and 12% of their ranks, respectively. There were 7,767 temporary exemptions given in the National Guard and 6,457 in the Reserves, according to Army data. Only six permanent medical exemptions have been made nationally for the National Guard, without any religious exemptions. Not a single Reserve soldier has received a medical or religious exemption. Over 3,200 have pending exemptions, and the new protocol will not apply to them. "We're going to give every soldier every opportunity to get vaccinated and continue their military career," Director of the Army Guard Lt. Gen. Jon Jensen said in a statement. "We're not giving up on anybody until the separation paperwork is signed and completed." Meanwhile, the Reserves have only reached 73.6% of its recruiting goal in the 2021 fiscal year. The National Guard reached 80.6% of its 2021 goal and, so far, 48.1% of its 2022 goal. However, unvaccinated soldiers are allowed to fulfill their state active-duty orders, which are normally given by governors during short-term emergencies. The Army has 652,005 fully vaccinated soldiers and 261,578 who are partially vaccinated. https://thepostmillennial.com/64-percent-of-democrats-do-not-want-biden-to-run-for-re-election-in-2024?utm_campaign=64487 Only 1 percent of voters ages 18-29 'strongly approve' of Joe Biden A majority of Democrats do not want Joe Biden to seek reelection in 2024 according to a New York Times/Siena College poll released Monday. In a closer breakdown of the numbers, only 1 percent of voters between 18-29 years of age "strongly approve" of Biden's performance. 18 percent of that demographic "somewhat approve." The poll reflects that 64 percent of Democratic voters want Biden out of the 2024 race as the president is "hemorrhaging support" from his party. Of the reasons cited, 33 percent of those polled said the president's age was the primary factor for why they didn't want him to run. President Joe Biden is currently 79 years old, which makes him the oldest serving president in history. The president will be 82 in the 2024 election cycle. The 849 registered voters who were polled put the president's approval rating at 33 percent. In January, a Quinnipiac University poll also had Biden's approval rating at 33 percent. Accumulative poll data had Biden's approval dropping below 40 percent in February and the president hasn't peaked above that number since the winter. The poll New York Times/Siena College was conducted between July 5 and 7 and also reflected other reasons for Biden's disapproval. 32 percent of those polled said the president's job performance was the problem while 12 percent just wanted somebody fresh. Notably, The New York Times ran an article over the weekend noting that Biden is, in fact, rather advanced in age. The poll also reflects a "country gripped by a pervasive sense of pessimism" as 75 percent of Americans believe the country is headed in the wrong direction. The last time that number was as low was during the 2008 financial crisis. The New York Time's reports that sense of national dread "spans every corner of the country, every age range and racial group, cities, suburbs and rural areas, as well as both political parties." The biggest number of those opposed to Biden's running in 2024 was with the young demographic. In numbers that also mirror a previous Quinnipiac poll, 94 percent of people under 30 want a different Democratic nominee. 41 percent of Hispanic voters "strongly disapprove" of the president's job, reflecting a Democratic concern that they are losing support from Hispanic Americans. 0 percent of those polled said that Covid was the most important concern in America. 37 percent of those polled said they intend to vote in the Democratic primary and 39 percent said they'll vote Republican. 20 percent of those polled said jobs and the economy were their biggest concern. 15 percent said cost of living and inflation. 5 percent said abortion. Of those who polled who identify as working class between the ages of 18 and 64, 94 percent said the economy was either in poor or fair condition. 26 percent of polled Democrats did say that Biden should be the nominee for president in 2024. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fox-news-power-rankings-gop-expected-take-control-house Fox News Power Rankings: GOP expected to take control of House Republicans are forecast to take control of the House this November with at least seven seats to spare, leaving Democrats in need of a dramatic turnaround to hold on to power. This edition of the Fox News Power Rankings also unveils the U.S. House model for the first time and sees gubernatorial candidate Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, carving out a slight edge in Pennsylvania. With redistricting completed and the bulk of the primaries behind us, the Power Rankings model now reveals a clear advantage for the GOP in the House. With 218 seats required to take control, the GOP is forecast to take 225 seats to the Democrats’ 180 seats. Those figures include only the races in which one party has an advantage. The actual size of a GOP majority will depend on how many highly competitive "toss up" races each party wins, but the Republicans are expected to gain at least a seven-seat majority (225 seats) and as much as a 37-seat majority (255 seats) in their "best case" scenario. The range of scenarios for the Democrats leaves the party with as much as a 38-seat deficit (180 seats), or just eight shy of a majority (210 seats). That is significant. In other words, even if Democrats win all 30 races currently marked as toss-ups, the party still does not have enough support to retain control of the House. Eagle-eyed Power Rankings readers would know that these ratings are just estimates, and that even races assigned to a party (particularly those in the "Lean" columns) are still very competitive. Nonetheless, the current forecast looks very cloudy for congressional Democrats. Question… do you enjoy shopping with integrity? Well then do I have a business for you!

Elon Musk is back in the news ladies and gentleman… https://thepostmillennial.com/elon-musk-uses-memes-to-signal-he-planned-to-take-twitter-to-court-all-along/?utm_campaign=64487 Elon Musk uses memes to signal he planned to take Twitter to court all along Elon Musk's Twitter buy is about to hit the court as the social media giant is suing him in order to force the sale the Space X CEO has reportedly backed away from. But Musk, who only backed away from the sale because he couldn't get an accurate count from Twitter as to how many of their users were bots, will likely now gain access to that data in court. Musk shared a meme to that effect on, where else, Twitter. "They said I couldn't buy Twitter," the first panel reads. "Then they wouldn't disclose bot into. Now they want to force me to buy Twitter in court. Now they have to disclose bot info in court." The text is accompanied by images of Elon laughing. The saga of the Musk Twitter buy has bene ongoing since April, with Musk bought a 9.2 percent stake in the company, becoming one of the company's top shareholders. He later went on to offer $44 billion for the enterprise, and the board of directors of Twitter approved that in June. Staff at Twitter, however, were less that pleased with the prospect of working for the outspoken entrepreneur. Musk addressed them directly prior to the board's approval of the sale. But Musk became concerned that perhaps he had overvalued the company and that a large percentage of Twitter users were bots. Twitter claims that bots are 5 percent of the total users, but Musk has been interested in seeing data to "make an independent assessment of the prevalence of fake or spam accounts on Twitter's platform." Musk began looking for this information in May, and then sought to terminate the deal in July. Twitter has said they would bring suit to force the sale. They hired firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz. Musk appears to believe that this suit will bring the information he wanted all along, in the first place.

Almost two-thirds of Democratic voters don't want to see President Joe Biden run for re-election in 2024, according to a New York Times/Siena College poll that follows record-low approval ratings for Biden as the president battles issues such as rising inflation and criticism from some progressive Democrats over his response to the Supreme Court overturning Roe v.

Dan believes there is a better and more accurate term to discuss developing humans in utero than advocating for a 'Right to Life,' suggesting the 'Right to Stay Alive' instead. Also, President Biden's approval numbers continue to hit new lows in a recent New York Times/Siena College poll, rivaling the worst data ever compiled on any President in modern history - including Jimmy Carter.

First Lady Jill Biden told a group of progressive Texas Hispanic voters they were as “unique” as “breakfast tacos” during a speech Monday in San Antonio. The Biden Administration thinks progressives are out of step with the mainstream Democratic party on reproductive rights. 64 percent of Democratic voters saying they would prefer a new standard-bearer in the 2024 presidential campaign, according to a New York Times/Siena College poll, as voters nationwide have soured on his leadership, giving him a meager 33 percent job-approval rating. President Joe Biden gave a shoutout on Monday to Sens. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Thom Tillis (R-NC) for helping pass a recently-enacted gun law and quipped, “I hope I don't get you in trouble mentioning your name.”Hosts: Ana Kasparian, Cenk Uygur***The largest online progressive news show in the world.
