Americans Have Historically Low Trust in Biden Officials To Prevent Economic Meltdown
The majority of Americans do not trust economic leaders, including President Joe Biden and Treasury secretary Janet Yellen, to steer the country's economy in the right direction, according to an April Gallup poll.
When asked how confident they were in the president "to do or to recommend the right thing for the economy," 64 percent of respondents said "only a little" or "almost none." Fifty-four percent do not trust Yellen or Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell to manage the economy well. Many of the economic leaders Gallup included in the poll are at or near the lowest confidence ratings recorded in 20 years.
The findings are yet another blow to Biden's reelection efforts. Despite the White House's insistence that the 80-year-old president is fit for a second term and has a reputable economic record, 68 percent of Americans believe Biden is too old to run, and 54 percent think former president Donald Trump handled the economy better, according to an ABC News/Washington Post poll released Sunday.
"This poll is just brutal for President Biden," ABC's George Stephanopoulos said Sunday.
The Gallup poll, published Tuesday, comes the same day Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) start talks on the U.S. debt ceiling. Biden is insisting the federal government raise the debt limit without conditions. McCarthy said the House will not approve a proposal that does not include spending cuts that address the ballooning budget deficit.
The Gallup poll also found that only 34 percent of people had "a great deal" or "fair amount" of confidence in Democratic leaders in Congress to make the right decisions for the economy. Republicans in Congress had a slightly better confidence level at 38 percent.

A Harvard-Harris poll, conducted between April 27 and 29
(2022) with 1,872 registered voters, found that most Americans
polled were unaware of the severity of the invasion occurring at
their Southern border. This due, in part, to the lack of
coverage of the story by prominent news sources. But when
told the true facts by the pollsters, eighty percent of respondents
became strongly opposed to the Biden/Harris border policy. If
nothing else, the high-profile public hearings of dual
impeachment of president and vice president, with all the facts
laid out on the table, would sound the alarm across the nation.
Public opinion, (let's hope), still carries formidable weight in this
nation. By Richard Morse
Biden, long known as Delaware’s “senator from DuPont,” Biden served on committees that were most sensitive to the interests of the ruling class, including the Judiciary Committee and the Foreign Relations Committee. He supported the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act in 1999, a milestone in the deregulation of the banks, and other right-wing measures. After nearly four decades in the Senate, Biden became Obama’s vice president, helping to oversee the massive bailout of Wall Street following the 2008 financial crisis and the subsequent restructuring of class relations to benefit the rich. That included the bailout of General Motors and Chrysler, based on a 50 percent cut in the pay of all newly hired autoworkers.

“Protect and enrich.” This is a perfect encapsulation of the Clinton Foundation (TWO GAMER LAWYERS) (WHAT ABOUT THE CHINA BIDEN PENN CENTER?) and the Obama (TWO GAMER LAWYERS) book and television deals. Then there is the Biden family (FOUR GAMER LAWYERS - JOE, HUNTER, JAMES, FRANK) corruption, followed closely behind by similar abuses of power and office by the Warren (GAMER LAWYER) and Sanders families, as Peter Schweizer described in his recent book “Profiles in Corruption.” These names just scratch the surface of government corruption (ADD GAMER LAWYER KAMALA HARRIS AND HER LAWYER HUSBAND AND THE BANKSTERS’ RENT BOY, LAWYER CHUCK SCHUMER). BRIAN C JOONDEPH
Breitbart Political Editor Emma-Jo Morris’s investigative work at the New York Post on the Hunter Biden “laptop from Hell” also captured international headlines when she, along with Miranda Devine, revealed that Joe Biden was intimately involved in Hunter’s businesses, appearing even to have a 10 percent stake in a company the scion formed with officials at the highest levels of the Chinese Communist Party.
Two weeks after President Joe Biden announced his reelection campaign, a Washington Post poll has put his approval rating at 36 percent, among the lowest ratings ever recorded for a president. Biden faces a conundrum—nearly every issue he'd like to tout his success on has been an unmitigated disaster.
The economy? Inflation has devoured Americans' paychecks, leaving them with historically low confidence in the administration's ability to steer the economy.
Immigration? Border Patrol agents are expecting hundreds of thousands of migrants to rush the border in the coming days when the administration lets Trump-era protocols expire.
Crime? It's surged in cities across the country.
It's no wonder Democrats are wondering if they have any better options in 2024.

How California Destroyed its Middle Class (A Cautionary Tale) | Victor Davis Hanson
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0r0m4UCPKHw&t=112s
The Bay Area is sinking into the abyss
Last month, Whole Foods shut down a year-old flagship store it had opened in downtown San Francisco. Two weeks later, word broke that Nordstrom, the Seattle-based, high-end retailer that had a major presence in downtown San Francisco was shutting down both its Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack stores. Today, news broke that T-Mobile is pulling out, too. It’s a retail exodus that is obviously bad for San Francisco. Significantly, it turns out that other Bay Area downtowns are imploding, as well.
The Whole Foods store shut down because the crime plaguing it was unsustainable, in terms of profits and worker safety. The same held true for the Nordstrom pullout:
“We’ve spent more than 35 years serving customers in downtown San Francisco, building relationships with them and investing in the local community,” Nordstrom told impacted employees.
“But as many of you know, the dynamics of the downtown San Francisco market have changed dramatically over the past several years, impacting customer foot traffic to our stores and our ability to operate successfully.”
Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield (URW), owner of the Westfield Mall where one of the Nordstrom stores is closing, slammed the current conditions in the city and said retailers are leaving in droves because of unsafe conditions that have dragged on, despite the company pleading with city officials to take action.
The latest major retailer to join the downtown San Francisco exodus is T-Mobile, which had a 17,000-square-foot store in Union Square, the heart of downtown San Francisco’s hotel and real estate district. T-Mobile hasn’t said why it decided to close the store, other than a “reshaped…retail strategy,” but it’s easy to guess that crime played a part.
After all, to stay afloat in San Francisco, a Target store had to put everything behind glass:
San Francisco is drowning in crime and filth, thanks to a city determined to give free rein to criminals, the drug addicted, and the homeless (and yes, those are often overlapping classes). None of this was helped by the fact that San Francisco embraced the lockdowns, so workers were sent home, where many discovered the joys of what I call the bunny-slipper commute: No more fighting traffic, riding filthy and dangerous public transportation, or spending your days locked in a vertical sardine can.
San Francisco’s office vacancy rate is almost 35% and expected to climb—and that’s the official rate, reflecting unleased property. It does not reflect property that is still under lease but without any workers inside. Last month, a downtown high rise in a formerly premium location sold for 75% off the original asking price. I doubt that building low-income housing in those vacant properties will help much.

A fascinating report from the Bay Area News Group says that it’s not just San Francisco that’s in deep trouble. In fact, all regional downtowns are suffering:
Police data may show otherwise — violent crime has actually fallen in San Francisco in recent years, though property crimes have spiked. And unlike most of the rest of the Bay Area, the city’s homeless population dipped slightly in 2022, according to the latest count. Still, there’s no doubt that San Francisco’s downtown is in crisis.
It’s not the only one. All three of the Bay Area’s largest cities are staring down huge setbacks to their efforts to revitalize urban cores hollowed out by a once-in-a-generation pandemic.
Last month, the Oakland A’s announced the team was decamping for Las Vegas, throwing into flux the city’s plans to redevelop Howard Terminal at the Port of Oakland. The team is leaving behind a $12 billion proposal for a gleaming waterfront stadium with new housing and retail at the site. In San Jose, Google recently announced it was reassessing the timeline for its sprawling Downtown West project, which city officials hope will add homes, shopping and office space for thousands of workers.
Incidentally, my guess is that crime and homelessness are down in San Francisco because, to mangle Willie Sutton’s alleged statement about robbing banks, criminals and the homeless go where the money is. Without workers in downtown San Francisco, why bother?
On the one hand, this decline couldn’t happen to more deserving cities, all of which self-immolated on a pyre of Black Lives Matter de-policing and decarceration and Fauci-esque lockdowns. On the other hand, as a San Francisco native, and someone who knew the other downtowns, too, I feel sad.
It’s like attending the funeral of a once glamorous friend who, because of an addiction to drink, drugs, and bad men, ended up dying on the street with a needle in her arm. It’s not just her death that’s sad; the loss of her potential is sad, too. Petula Clark’s “Downtown” hit song, which I, as a child, thought was about San Francisco, seems like an elegy, not a promise.
THE NEXT MEXICAN INVASION IS AT HAND:
"Mexican president candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador called for mass immigration to the United States, declaring it a "human right". We will defend all the (Mexican) invaders in the American," Obrador said, adding that immigrants "must leave their towns and find a life, job, welfare, and free medical in the United States."
OPEN BORDERS = GIVE YOUR JOB TO AN ILLEGAL WHO WILL WORK CHEAPER IS PART OF THE DEMOCRATS' DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA AND THE RISE OF GLOBALISM
Our young people have been and are being radicalized and propagandized daily. Supporting all this are the Democrats of today, and their DSA allies. They are a united front committed to transforming and gutting America from the inside out. Destroy the middle class, render impotent parental rights, isolate the church as a spewer of hate and intolerance, render ineffective the rule of law, demean the history and the Constitution of these United States. In concert with global elites, the media elite, and the toxic leftist bilge that is constantly oozing from their seats of power, they are doing just that.
From the L Word to Cultural Marxism
During the 1988 presidential campaign, then vice-president George H.W. Bush labelled his counterpart Governor Michael Dukakis of Massachusetts in pejorative fashion with the ‘L’ word, or ‘liberal.’ To be deemed a liberal during that era to many meant you would be perceived as being outside the mainstream, and one who was indecisive or deemed weak in foreign affairs, especially with the Soviet Union, and not a strong supporter of the military. You were most likely to support strict gun control, be seen as soft on crime, and support abortion, as Dukakis did. So negative was the connotation that most politicians of the era ran away from the moniker, with many describing themselves instead as centrists, as Bill Clinton did in 1992.
In the same fashion, throughout the 20th century in the United States, to be labelled a ‘Socialist’ would have been political suicide and would virtually automatically preclude such a candidate from winning any national office. That was the case until 2007, when Bernie Sanders won the Senate seat in Vermont as an avowed ‘Socialist.’ Sanders was not taken all that seriously by the majority in the early years of his service. However, in the democratic primaries of both the 2016 and 2020, it became plain to see that the label ‘Socialist’ was no longer considered derogatory to many Americans given the strength of his grassroots support. His voter base in both primaries revealed that much of his support were young people, aged 18-30, becoming strong contributors to his success.
Today, some sixteen years after Sanders’ election to the Senate, we have five members of Congress and over 150 state legislature officeholders nationally who describe their political delineation as that of ‘Democrat-Socialist,’ which is not a classic political party -- yet. Most contemporary democrats of any stripe do not appear to reflect the democrats of previous generations. Not too many democrats of today are espousing “Ask not what your country can do for you,” and likely advocate the opposite. But adding the term ‘Socialist’ to Democrat is not simply a play on words. It is arranged that way to soften the impact of the term ‘Socialist.’ The reality is, they are Socialists, plain and simple. From the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) website, under the page ‘What is Democratic-Socialism?’ The first line reads: ‘Capitalism is a system designed by the owning class to exploit the rest of us for their own profit.’ What tripe does that sound like? Further on it states: ‘We want to collectively own the key economic drivers that dominate our lives, such as energy production and transportation.’ One can only wonder what that really means.
Back to the Sanders surprise showing in 2016, and to a lesser extent in 2020. How did that happen? As mentioned, the lion’s share of his voters were young, 18-30. In 1984, President Ronald Reagan ran for reelection against Sen. Walter Mondale. According to 
the Roper Center at Cornell, this same age group that voted so strongly for Sanders in democratic primaries thirty-plus years later voted 61% for Reagan in the 18-24 bracket, and 57% in the 25-30 bracket. Those numbers reflect all voters in that age group, Democrat, Republican, and independents. These Baby Boomers voted decisively for the conservative, and were a part of a landslide, as Reagan garnered a full 59% of the electorate that year. It begs the question, what changed? Many Boomers had gone to universities and colleges and earned degrees. Many had seen and were aware of the protests and demonstrations of the 60s and 70s that were front page news as they grew up. Even though radicals were the drivers of the protest scene in that era, they were a minority when it came to the overall population.
So why the vast difference in political leanings 1984 to 2016? I think we can credit Marxist thinkers Antonio Gramsci and Rudi Dutschke, with their quest to undermine Western culture with the “Long March Through the Institutions” and replace them with Marxist ideals as playing a significant role. The difference was that instead of promoting failed Soviet-style economic Marxism, this new rendition would be Cultural Marxism, that is, a thrust to radically change culture by focusing on the allegedly oppressed classes, while at the same time undermining America’s institutions. By the late 1980s, this plan was in full swing in academia. New York Times writer Felicity Berringer pointed to this in an article “The Mainstreaming of Marxism in U.S. Colleges” written October 25, 1989. She wrote, “As Karl Marx’s ideological heirs in Communist nations struggle to transform his political legacy, his intellectual heirs on American campuses have virtually completed their own transformation from brash, beleaguered outsiders to assimilated academic insiders. It could be considered a success story for the students of class struggle, who were once regarded as subversives.”
John Ellis, professor at the University of Santa Cruz during this same period wrote in his 2020 book The Breakdown of Higher Education, “Radical politics was a rising force on the campuses, and we were trying to draw attention to the dangers in what was happening while there was still some chance of arresting it. But it’s now clear that we failed to stop the slide, because the political radicals on campus never had any interest in what we had to say. Their purposes were not ours. We were interested in the quality of higher education, but what they cared about was getting control of the campuses so they could use them to promote their political ideology, one so unpopular with the general public that it could not have been advanced in any other way.”
The bitter truth is that the ‘Long March’ worked! It took time, but now we face this massive challenge of how to root it out of our federal, state, and local governments, along with our military, universities, media, school boards, etc. Our young people have been and are being radicalized and propagandized daily. Supporting all this are the Democrats of today, and their DSA allies. They are a united front committed to transforming and gutting America from the inside out. Destroy the middle class, render impotent parental rights, isolate the church as a spewer of hate and intolerance, render ineffective the rule of law, demean the history and the Constitution of these United States. In concert with global elites, the media elite, and the toxic leftist bilge that is constantly oozing from their seats of power, they are doing just that.
Abraham Lincoln spoke of this potential of self-inflicted catastrophe when he said: “At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer. If it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us; it cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen we must live through all time or die by suicide.”
Which will it be? Life or death? What’s next for America?

Actor Scott Baio Leaving California After 45 Years: ‘It’s Not a Safe Place Anymore’
Scott Baio has had enough of California. The actor is so sick of its left-wing politics, and the crime, the homelessness, the lawlessness, and the grim future it holds, after 45 years he is taking his family with him and leaving.
The 62-year-old and long time resident of Los Angeles announced his intentions Wednesday on social media.
He tweeted: “After 45 years, I’m making my way to finally ‘exit stage right’ from California.”
His declaration included a quote from a report on KTLA5 that read, “The most recent survey conducted by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority found approximately 69,000 people experiencing homelessness in L.A. County and 41,000 in the city in 2022.”
He further tweeted that homelessness “brings down property value. Also no consequences for crime that is rampant, making things higher in price and it’s just not a safe place anymore. [ImFree].”
Homelessness and crime rates have motivated other celebrities to leave the Golden State over the past few years.
Stars like Katy Perry, Matthew McConaughey, and podcaster Joe Rogan previously said L.A. was no longer the place they wanted to bring up a family.
This is not the first time Baio, son of Italian migrants who was born and raised in New York City, has called attention to the state of the nation in general and California in particular.
He was seen at the #WalkAway ‘Rescue America’ rally in 2020 calling for change.

On that occasion he joined hundreds of Americans who marched from West Hollywood to Beverly Hills to show their love for the country, as Breitbart News reported.
The Walk Away Campaign organized the event to “show the radical left that they do not own America’s streets and that our country is filled with kind, loving, big-hearted Americans of every race, religion, background, and creed,” its website read.
Baio was happy to take to social media to show his support and his political backing for Donald Trump.
The Happy Days star also addressed the crowd and said he loved America and wanted to save it because “I love that we’re a God-fearing nation. I love that we’re a law-abiding nation. I love our traditional values.”
