Daily Quotes
Insight: “I am absolutely convinced that meaninglessness does not come from being weary of pain; meaninglessness comes from being weary of pleasure. And that is why we find ourselves emptied of meaning with our pantries still full.” ―Ravi Zacharias
Observations: “We’re often lectured that killing an unborn baby is a decision made solely by a woman in conjunction with her doctor. Yet taking hydroxychloroquine is apparently a joint decision between a man, his doctor, every Democrat in Congress, all the anchors on CNN, and an entire slate of New York Times op-ed columnists.” —David Harsanyi
Inquiring minds want to know: “Why did Susan Rice need to send herself an email telling herself that Obama said the Flynn issue was being handled ‘by the book’ three different times? Is that something someone doing everything ‘by the book’ would really need to do?” —Charlie Kirk
Schoolyard insults: “Pelosi is a sick woman, she’s got a lot of problems, a lot of mental problems.” —Donald Trump responding to her calling him “morbidly obese”
Schoolyard insults II: “I didn’t know that he would be so sensitive. He’s always talking about other people’s … weight, their pounds.” —House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
For the record: “Pelosi called Trump fat. Trump said Pelosi has mental problems. Pelosi responded that Trump is too sensitive. We’re being governed by 6th graders.” —Matt Walsh
Upright: “Words have meaning, and if you don’t intend the meaning, don’t use the word.” —David French
Grand delusions: “The pandemic has unleashed familiar forces of hate, fear and xenophobia that he always flames … that have always existed in this society. But this president … has brought with [him] a new rash of racial messages, verbal and physical attacks and other acts of hate.” —Joe Biden
Reality is often disappointing: “I have known Bob Mueller for a long time. I have tremendous respect for him. I think he is just an amazing human being and public servant. He was not the man that I knew just in terms of his strength of presence [in congressional testimony], and so it was quite surprising.” —Representative Adam Schiff
This. Changes. Everything Nothing. “I will be reaching out to head of twitter about their policies being violated every day by President Tump. Hope my call is taken. Please retweet if you agree.” —MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski
And last… “Susan Rice knew exactly what she was doing. That’s why she wrote herself emails in a desperate attempt to cover her tracks.” —Senator Marsha Blackburn

What does he remember? –
Former Vice President Joe Biden, who vowed Tuesday not to fire inspectors general, claimed not to remember that President Barack Obama fired AmeriCorps Inspector General Gerald Walpin in 2009 while he was investigating a key ally.
As Breitbart News noted last week, the Obama-Biden administration fired Walpin while he was pursuing claims that then-Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, an Obama supporter and former NBA star, had misappropriated funds.
Mr. Walpin’s investigators discovered that the money had been used instead to pad staff salaries, meddle politically in a school-board election, and have AmeriCorps members perform personal services for Mr. Johnson, including washing his car.

President Trump is edging out Joe Biden, the Democrat Party’s presumptive nominee, in key battleground states and is also leading in support among independent voters in those states, a CNBC/Change Research poll released Wednesday revealed.
The survey, taken among 5,408 likely voters in the battleground states Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin from May 15 to May 17, showed the president holding an edge over Biden, 48 percent to 46 percent — a lead just outside the 1.9 percent margin of error.

Gosh and Golly Don Trump doesn’t seem to be doing too well in battleground states. If you talke the time to read this you’ll find the grizzly details
What the latest batch of battleground polls say
“Biden leads Trump by almost 6 percentage points in the latest RealClearPolitics polling average, but there’s been a deluge of recent polls from battleground states with some interesting findings as well.
Here are some of the most noteworthy:
Fox News polled voters in Florida, Michigan, and Pennsylvania from April 18 to 21, with a margin of error of 3 percentage points. When voters were asked who they’d vote for if the election were held today, Biden led in all three states, albeit more narrowly in Florida. He topped Trump 50 to 42 percent in Pennsylvania, 49 to 41 percent in Michigan, and 46 to 43 percent in Florida (which falls within the poll’s margin of error). In all three states, Biden owes his lead to women voters, leading Trump by 12 percentage points in Florida and by roughly 20 percentage points in Michigan and Pennsylvania.
A Reuters poll of voters in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin from April 15 to 20, with a 5-percentage-point margin of error, also asked who voters would support if the election were held today. Biden led Trump 46 to 38 percent in Michigan, 46 to 40 percent in Pennsylvania, and 43 to 40 percent in Wisconsin (again, within the margin of error).
A Quinnipiac University poll of Florida voters conducted from April 16 to 20 with a 2.6-percentage-point margin of error found Biden with a slight 46 to 42 percent lead over Trump. Among Florida independents, Biden’s lead grew to 7 percentage points, leading Trump 44 to 37 percent.
Two national polls conducted in mid-April, one by the Economist/YouGov and the other by NBC News and the Wall Street Journal, both found Biden leading Trump by 6 and 7 percentage points, respectively.

The enthusiasm gap is still Trump’s domain. He owns it and Biden still has higher negatives than The Super Bitch Hillary at this time. Voters just can’t get all revved up over “Where am I” Joe..or a face painted on a 2×4.
