New Emerson Poll has some good news for the GOP in Pennsylvania
Voters were asked about two focal points of the Pennsylvania Senate campaigns: Fetterman’s recent stroke and Mehmet Oz’s longtime New Jersey residence. Regarding Fetterman’s stroke, 59% of voters say it makes no difference on their vote, 27% say it makes them less likely to support Fetterman, and 14% say it makes them more likely. Since the August Emerson Pennsylvania poll, the share of voters who say Fetterman’s stroke makes no difference on their vote has decreased by nine percentage points, 68% to 59%, and the share of voters who say it makes them less likely to support him has increased by five points to 19%.
Regarding Oz’s New Jersey residence, 47% say it makes no difference, 39% say it makes them less likely, and 14% say it makes them more likely to support Oz. Since the August Emerson Pennsylvania poll, the share of voters who say they are less likely to support Oz because of his residence decreased by 12 points from 51% to 39%.
Eighty-three percent of voters find it somewhat important (18%) or very important (65%) for the candidates running for either Governor or US Senate to participate in a debate prior to the November election. Seventeen percent find it not too important (11%) or not at all important (6%).
In other news.
In a hypothetical election between President Biden and former President Trump, Trump leads Biden among Pennsylvania voters 46% to 45%; 6% would support someone else and 3% are undecided. Concerning the recent FBI search of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate 38% of voters said it makes them more likely to support Trump in 2024, 33% say it makes them less likely to support Trump in 2024, and 29% say it makes no difference on their vote.
And how is that threat to democracy and abortion working out? Well just over 1 in 4 are falling or that particular silly rhetoric.
The economy is the most important issue for 39% of Pennsylvania voters, followed by threats to democracy (14%), and abortion access (13%).

About that Monmouth poll
The whole concept of a pollster is to ask genuine questions in a genuine manner as straightforward as possible. We don't need a polling question that starts out "as you know" when you are going to be asking people about what it is that you believe they are supposed to know. All it takes is a handful of people in a sample to feel uncomfortable giving an answer that they otherwise would provide, and your poll is shot.
Well they call them names...
More Bidenomics in play
Trillions of dollars in American wealth has disintegrated over the past few months and many older Americans are having to put off retirement because of it. Oh, and it helps a lot that while we are losing net worth, our buying power continues to plummet as inflation continues on record course.

About those claims of fascism...
Democrats say every Republican is Hitler...
The issue at hand is that liberals are just stupid and think every Republican is "Hitler" because they have no clue what Hitler was even about.
Here is the reality:
- You have one Party that wants central government control at the Federal level with an active Federal Law Enforcement engaged in every level of society INCLUDING labeling local School Parents to be enemies of the state (domestic terrorist) because their political views do not align with that central government. Demonstrators against the current state are arrested and held without bail, while more violent demonstrators who are protesting in favor of the current regime are generally let go without charges. They want to take away as much power from the States as they can and make sure that nobody is allowed to openly have viewpoints that do not correspond with those of the Federal Government. They will work with law social media and other media to make sure certain beliefs are designated "disinformation" and censored (even information they know is correct). They hate the constitution and especially the bill of rights (because these rights hamper the Government quest to control the citizenship).
- You have another Party who wants to drain the swamp and reduce the influence of unelected Federal government appointees and give that power back to the citizens and back to the states. They want to stop Government censorship and allow freedom of speech to again be a bedrock principle. They support the constitution and especially support the bill of rights. They believe that local and state governments are more in tune to their own constituents and believe that more power should remain closer to the people as opposed to with the Federal bureaucracy.
Red wave 2.0??
Right now Democrats are offering a two pronged approach to the 2022 midterms. Abortion and pushing the extreme MAGA Republican theme (generally tying them to Jan 6th). While this might be something that excites the small sliver of the ultra-left liberal Democrat, the question is whether or not it resonates with anyone else. Does the American public trust Democrats on Abortion? Sure. Do some people still care about Jan 6th? Sure. But are those really "important" issues for the swing voters who come out and move the needle in the battleground districts?2022 Generic Congressional Ballot Polling among LIKELY voters (09/07-21)

Every poll that comes out on the subject of what Americans are really concerned about shows that the economy, inflation, crime, and the border are at the top of the heap. Abortion barely hits the top five and sometimes is even lower than that depending on how specific you break up the economic issues. Oh, and while some may still be interested in Jan 6th, almost nobody says it is something that will affect their vote in November.

Harris Harvard Poll shows something interesting...
This is an interesting counterintuitive statistic
This is the sad pathetic world we live in
More evidence of how vindictive, obsessive and downright sinister Facebook is: Now it appears to be monitoring private messages and suppressing material related to the whistleblower complaint of heroic FBI special agent Steve Friend.
After Friend’s bombshell revelations last week in a whistleblower complaint to the Department of Justice inspector general, his cause received an avalanche of public and private support, including from former FBI agents and conservative groups.
On Sunday, Friend’s wife’s Facebook account was suspended after she responded to an offer of support from a local chapter of Moms for Liberty (M4L), a conservative group that advocates for parental rights.
About 30 minutes later, Mrs. Friend received a notification from Facebook that her account had been suspended because the “account, or activity on it, doesn’t follow our Community Standards.”
Up until our world turned topsy turvy and long standing American values were shunned by the new extreme left, whistleblowers were given a promise of protection. In fact it was considered illegal to actually punish someone for being a whistleblower. A company who retaliated in any manner would be facing serious consequences. Now, the left believes it it necessary to punish someone for exposing the sad truth of many of these things. You know, because it disrupts their ability to push a fake narrative and control all of the conversations.
This is the world that the left wants to live in... as long as they control it. But if American political history has taught us one thing. What comes around goes around. Who knows how long the left will hold the power in all of this. Watch for all the meltdowns as they lose control. Look no further than the Twitter sale to Elon Musk.

Political rhetoric at it's worst or finest depending on your viewpoint...
An honest description of Lindsey Graham's abortion bill (legal within 15 weeks) would resonate as a popular compromise with a majority of Americans
- Legal past 15 weeks - 28%
- Not legal past 15 weeks - 72%
Earlier this week, the White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was questioned by reporters on what the Biden administration stance actually was? If they are not in favor of 15 weeks, at what point in the pregnancy would they be willing to put a stop to it? Obviously with only 10% of the population in favor of abortion till birth, the White House (and Democrats) owe the American public an explanation as to what they would accept? If not 15 how about 23 weeks? 30 weeks? When is the acceptable time to say abortions should no longer take place?
Seems like a fair question. But Jean-Pierre was unwilling to answer, likely because neither the White House or Democrats are going to be willing to go on record here. They would rather attack the GOP over what would be a popular proposal by basically misleading the public on it. Dishonesty and disinformation is all they have left at this point.
America is a poorer country because of Biden...
Americans have lost $4.2K in income under Biden, study says
Their analysis found that the average American has lost about $3,000 in annual purchasing power because consumer prices, which have risen 12.7% since January 2021, have spiked significantly faster than wages.
Wages have risen just 8% over the same period, which has effectively resulted in a pay cut for Americans struggling to pay for daily necessities including food, gas and rent.
Higher interest rates and borrowing costs have also reduced the average person’s purchasing power by another $1,200, according to the report.
“Simply put, working Americans are $4,200 poorer today than when Biden took office,” said EJ Antoni, a research fellow in regional economics with the Heritage Foundation’s Center for Data Analysis.
“This financial catastrophe for American families is the direct result of a president and Congress addicted to spending our money, combined with a Federal Reserve compliantly enabling this addiction by printing more dollars.” [….]
“Now, the Fed is finally fighting inflation, which is pushing up interest rates and increasing financing costs,” he said. “Rates on all kinds of consumer debt are rising. Mortgage interest rates have doubled since Biden took office, greatly increasing Americans’ monthly payments.”
What is it with people that they would welcome their own financial ruin in exchange for their political party being in charge? Does anyone "really" want to have less spendable income? Does anyone really want to pay $5.00/gallon for gas? Does anyone really want two million plus illegal immigrants crossing our border? Do they really want more crime? More homelessness?
For what, exactly? So they can complain about abortion or cheer for the latest and greatest Trump investigation? Is the ability to kill the unborn and persecute a politician really worth all of this failure? Is it worth everyone suffering?

Biden's Broken Border is a five-part Washington Examiner series highlighting the border security records President Joe Biden has shattered in less than two years in office and the trickle-down effects that the crisis is having on the United States.
Part One looked at how Biden already broke the record for migrant apprehensions in 2022. Part Two examined the dramatic shift in demographics of migrants crossing the border illegally. Part Three showed the consequences of children crossing the border alone in unprecedented numbers. Part Four, below, looks at the record number of migrants dying while attempting to enter the United States. And Part Five will examine the deadly fentanyl crisis that has rocked communities deep within the country.
So how many are dead? Well according to records being kept, there have been nearly 750 migrants found dead in their quest to cross the border. They expect the number to obviously increase before the end of the year. Never have we seen anything near this number of people dying trying to get into the United States.
Deaths happen as immigrants make a dangerous trek from Mexico or Central America, many times passing over the border in dangerous locations to avoid being caught by border control agents. Most people will recall the Democrats trying to politicize border deaths during the Trump administration, blaming the wall and border security as the culprit. But as we can see by the graph, border deaths were down under Trump, proving that border security is safer for everyone involved.
But deaths are out of control. At least twice as many people are dying under Joe Biden as under previous Presidents. Liberals can pretend that the real problem with the border is Ron DeSantis sending alive migrants to Martha's Vineyard if liberals so choose. It's the sort of thinking that makes them liberal.

Quote of the day!
Given the thorough corruption of the Department of Justice under Merrick Garland, there is a reasonable possibility that the Democrats will move to imprison both Donald Trump and other prominent Republicans. I suppose they think they are secure, because Republicans would never follow such a third-world precedent. I don’t know about that. In any event, there is a more fundamental question: are the Democrats trying to trigger a civil war, as they did in 1861? Judging from their actions, I think the question must be taken seriously.
There is no question that partisanship investigation has rocketed up under Merrick Garland. From labeling concerned Parents as domestic terrorists, to calling anyone who questions the election results to be a traitor, to seemingly moving towards pressing charges against the ex-facto leader of the opposition Party over what ultimately is a dispute over a non-criminal Presidential record keeping act... they are going off the deep end.
It is no secret that if they do charge Trump that there will be outrage. Not just from Republicans either. I know many run of the mill moderates who believe that charging Trump is literally Democrats firing the first shots in an attempt to wage a civil war. They know that such a move will trigger millions and many feel that this is something the left wants. To pretend that this is not their doing, but to provoke conservatives and make them look as if they are the instigators. Little more than just more excuses to punish more political opposition.
More bad news for Bidenomics...
- US gas prices rose to $3.681 per gallon on Wednesday from $3.674 on Tuesday, marking the first increase in 99 days, said AAA.
- It signals that the impact of declining fuel costs on the recent easing in inflation may be dwindling.
The steady decline in prices that followed came as the Biden administration began releasing record amounts of crude oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve while fears of a recession weighed on demand forecasts. The Energy Information Administration reported that gasoline demand dropped to 8.49 million barrels per day last week from 8.73 million barrels per day in the prior week.
So basically the only way we have kept gas prices down is through the artificial means of misuing the strategic reserves? Seems very Bidenish.
The bigger problem is that gas prices going down has literally been the only thing dampening inflation surges. If gas prices start going back up along with food prices and everything else, our core inflation will go through the roof.
The FED just announced another 0.75 raise in the prime rate. They suggest at least another 0.75 is in the cards. This will no doubt push recession fears higher, but appears necessary to undermine this runaway inflation.
Meanwhile. Democrats keep spending more money... telling us that it will reduce inflation. Treating us as if we are economic idiots or gullible morons. But I guess there are some that are one or the other and still encourage it.

FBI Prioritizing Jan 6th and pushing false White Supremacist narrative at Biden Garland bidding?
This is not even close, folks. They are openly setting QUOTAS for finding cases that they can label as Domestic terror (or white supremacist hate crimes) to bolster the President's rhetoric that Maga Republicans committing terrorism is our greatest threat. The labeling of School aged Parents as domestic terrorists for questioning school boards is a great example of this stupidity. According to Biden and Garland, if you are opposed to the woke ideology and demand any sort of action on the subject you are a domestic terrorist, a white supremacist, or possibly both.#BREAKING: New whistleblower information reveals that the FBI is moving agents off of child sexual abuse investigations to instead pursue political investigations.

He was just listening to his President...
Ellingson had been out at a street dance when he called his mother to rescue him, because he said he was being chased by 41-year-old Shannon Brandt. But by the time she reached him, Cayler was dead. What Brandt allegedly admitted about the killing was chilling.
The President told his supporters that MAGA Republicans are a threat to society! Running down a teen extremist is a reaction to form of vile political rhetoric! |
Court papers show Brandt called 911 around 2:30 a.m. Sunday and told the 911 dispatcher that he just hit Ellingson, claiming the teen was part of a Republican extremist group. Court papers called it a “politically motivated attack.”
No question about it. If Trump was supposedly responsible for the Jan 6th insurrection and (as Lawrence Tribe has suggested) guilty of attempted murder, then by all means Joe Biden is at the very least an accessory to murder here.
This guy killed someone because he said that person was part of the Republican extremist group that the President has declared a threat to democracy and society. An 18 year old boy.
Well Joe Biden? How does it feel to be responsible for a murder?
