Biden’s poll numbers continue to falter

October 31, 2021 by Billy Buckley

Despite only being nine months into his presidency, America is not impressed with how things are going.  The biggest issue, which could really hurt democrats, is that independents are turning on Biden.  They seem to be seeing the incompetence and chaos.

An NBC News poll out on October 31 finds 54% of Americans disapprove of Biden’s performance.  The same survey had Biden with a favorable / unfavorable rating of 40% / 48%, almost identical to Trump in the same survey.

The same NBC News poll has 70% of independents and 48% of Democrats believing the nation is headed in the wrong direction.  This is not good for Biden.  But it gets worse, only 18% strongly approve of Biden while 46% strongly disapprove.

A Gallup poll has Biden at 42% approval rating, the lowest for any President since 1953, except for Trump who clocked in a 37%.  FiveThirtyEight’s poll has Biden at a 51% disapproval rating and Real Clear Politics at 52% disapproval.

It seems a large issue for Biden is his plan for a large expansion of government at a time that the nation seems to be uninterested the expansion of government.  Gallup found 52% of Americans think the government is “doing too many things”, the opposite of last year when the thought was the government should do more.

As the President talks more and more about compromise and meeting in the middle, it seems he is only trying to compromise with the diehard loyalists, ignoring the majority of voters.

Biden sorry for being late at G20 – “we were playing with elevators”

October 31, 2021 by Billy Buckley

President Biden was more than twenty minutes late to his press conference in Rome at the conclusion of the G20 two-day meeting.  He apologized and said they were playing elevators and it was a long story.

According to a Fox News tally, Biden has been an average of 22.4 minutes late for public events since June 1.  Sometimes it has been an hour or longer.  In August he was an average of 34 minutes late for events.

Biden’s ‘gender equity’ plan calls for eliminating cash bail while violent crimes jump

October 31, 2021 by Billy Buckley

It seems weird and unconnected but President Biden’s plan to promote gender equity includes a proposal to eliminate cash bail for suspects, despite skyrocketing violence.  The reasoning appears to be that it causes too much harm to Black women and families.  This is along with increased oversight of police departments by the federal government.

Cash bail needs to be eliminated to help combat gender and race disparities.  That seems like a real stretch, but in line with the current narrative. 

Shockingly this is at a time when, according to FBI data, the number of murders in the U.S. rose almost 30% in 2020.  That is the largest single year increase since they began tracking the statistic.  The overall violent crime rate, which includes assault, robbery, and rape, rose 5% in 2020.

Advocates for cash bail point to statistics that show those cities that eliminated cash bail show the likelihood of re-arrest before trial rose 37%.  Without cash bail suspects were also more likely to miss their court date.

According to a letter from Biden and Harris, these are needed reforms since America has never fully lived up to the idea that every one of us is equal in dignity and deserves to be treated equally.  They say this not only a moral imperative, but a strategic imperative.

Biden scratched head, looks away when asked about payments to illegal migrants

October 31, 2021 by Billy Buckley

Not surprisingly, President Biden ignored a question from Fox News regarding a plan to pay $450,000 per person to illegal immigrants who had been separated from their families during the Trump administration.

Although Biden was looking directly at the camera while the question was being asked, his response was looking away and scratching his forehead.

The total cost of this potential plan is about $1 billion overall.  These payments will exceed what some victims of 9/11 and Gold Star families have received.  If a loved one dies in military service, there is a single tax-free payment of $100,000.

It is hard to think President Biden puts us first when his administration is consistently putting America last.

Jen Psaki tests postive for COVID-19

October 31, 2021 by Billy Buckley

On Sunday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki announced that she has tested positive for COVID-19 despite being vaccinated.  She did not travel with Biden due to a family emergency, which was household members testing positive for COVID-19.  She says that she has been quarantining since Wednesday and has not had close contact with the President or Senior White House staff since then.  Shockingly, she is disclosing this out of an abundance of transparency, which you must have just learned about.  Psaki said her symptoms are mild thanks to the vaccine.

She added that she had not seen the President since Tuesday, when they were sitting outside, six feet apart, wearing masks.  That was a day after Biden coughed into his hand following a speech in New Jersey and proceeded to shake hands with the public without a mask.

All this is happening less than two weeks since Homeland Security Secretary Alejando Mayorkas test positive for COVID-19 just days after an event with the President, just feet apart with no masks.

Psaki also brushed off questions about the Biden’s walking through a high-end Georgetown restaurant without masks, violating D.C.’s indoor mask mandate.  She added that people should focus on his policies, not moments in time.
