[RCP numbers just out on Bumblebrain’s overall approval rating – drumroll please – 25% approve, 61% disapprove. This is lowest approval rating ever for an American president. We have a few select readers who should take special note of this rating on arguably the most incompetent and worst performing president the republic has ever suffered under. And then to demonstrate once more the intellectual capacity of Democrat politicians, Sen Maggie Hassan (D-NH) announced from the Senate floor that she doesn’t have to suffer high fuel costs, because she drove from New Hampshire to DC in her EV, and didn’t have to worry about stopping at any gas station charging astronomically high fuel prices. You see, charging your EV batteries is free, and that’s how you fight inflation. Reminds me of the Dem congressman who was worried at a committee hearing that a Pacific island would “tip over” if too many of our troops were stationed on a military base there. gjr]

The handwriting is on the wall –
Concerns about urban crime also propelled developer Rick Caruso in the Los Angeles mayor’s race. Caruso, a former Republican who recently switched to Democrat, ran as the tough-on-crime candidate, vowing to put 1,500 new cops on the beat. His main opponent, Rep. Karen Bass, ran on her record as a prominent Democrat and years of outreach to LA’s Black and Latinx communities. Caruso’s surprisingly strong showing will force a runoff in November.
The California results follow another upset in the Virginia governor’s race last year, where Republican newcomer Glenn Youngkin beat Democratic titan Terry McCullough in a race that hinged largely on culture wars over school curricula. State and local races don’t automatically translate into identical outcomes at the national level, but it’s hard to think of any progressive policies that are catching on with mainstream voters, while some — especially “defund the police” — are utterly dreadful.
Prepare yourselves for permanent minority status’
The implications are ominous for President Biden and his fellow Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections. “If national Democrats don’t wake up to what happened to progressives … this cycle prepare yourselves for permanent minority status,” Jim Kessler, a long-time Democratic operative now at the Third Way think tank, tweeted after the California primaries.

These 75 prosecutors represent more than1 in 5 Americans or more than72 million people, including half of America’s 50 most populous cities and counties.
Soros uses a series of shell organizations, affiliates, and pass-through committees to steer contributions to both candidates and his robust support network for progressive prosecutors, which provide gravitas andperks to preferred prosecutors.
These efforts have followed the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement, and have coincided with a nationwide crime wave.

“Health care premiums up, gas prices rising, manufacturers fleeing,” Klain wrote in June 2018. “So much winning! Thanks Trump!”

@ 8:03 am. re: Sally Kellerman.
I met Sally K two or three times back in the day. She was producing some skid row low budget movie for a couple of money guys from NY or LA and I was hired. We had a few meetings. Back then, being a hick from the sticks with tics, I asked someone, “Who is Sally Kellerman?”, since her name rang with everybody but me. Never heard of her. Anyway, someone said she was in the original cast of Hair and the cast got busted for taking off her clothes on stage. I remembered hearing something about that and told the guy who answered my “Who is Sally Kellerman?” question that I was sorry I missed that. 🙂
She was a nice lady, business like, and the whole project fell apart when the money men were BSers and did not have the funds to start production. An early introduction to Hollywood. Never saw any Hair either.

Trump is now too old for the next election cycle.
