The poll found 51% of Americans saying the economy is getting worse, and Biden received a 41% approval rating. When his handling of the economy is factored in, Biden receives just a 37% approval rating, according to the poll. His approval rating also drops down to 30% when considering his handling of inflation. Independent voters were less pleased with Biden, giving him a 26% approval rating for his handling of inflation.

A combination of "absurdly high" federal tariffs and excessive FDA regulations created the conditions for a crisis.
"...With domestic supply chains snarled, it would have made sense for American grocery stores to turn to foreign producers for replacement supplies of baby formula.

Devon Archer told congressional investigators that Hunter Biden used then-Vice President Joe Biden as "defensive leverage" to send "the right signals" to his foreign business partners, while selling him as "the brand" that offered "capabilities and reach," as well as a "unique understanding of D.C."
Archer’s comments came during a transcribed interview before the House Oversight Committee on Monday. Fox News Digital obtained the more than 140-page transcript of Archer’s interview, which took place behind closed doors.

Around 19 minutes into the "Tucker Carlson Tonight" interview, which is being released by the National Pulse piecemeal, Sund says, "If people were reporting the intelligence correctly, if I was allowed to do my job as the chief ... we wouldn't be here. This didn't have to happen," stressing, "I'm a little pissed off."
"Everything appears to be a cover-up," continued Sund. "Like I said, I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but when you look at the information and intelligence they had, the military had, it’s all watered down. ... I’m not getting intelligence, I’m denied any support from National Guard in advance. I’m denied National Guard while we’re under attack for 71 minutes."
Biden Is Banning Nearly All Generators That You’ll Need For His Man-Made Blackouts
The old joke in which one fellow asks what the socialists used for lighting before candles and the other fellow answers “electricity” could use some updating.
Substitute “socialists” for “U.S. Democrats.”
But it won’t be just the Democrats using candles, it’s going to be all of us...
“Just months after a Biden-appointed regulator teased a ban on gas stoves, the administration is working to enact a rule that would prohibit the manufacturing of nearly all portable gas generators on the U.S. market,” the Washington Free Beacon reported earlier this week...
The federal judge assigned to former President Donald Trump's criminal case, Judge Tanya S. Chutkan, is a leftist Obama appointee whose history of ruthlessly hammering Jan. 6 defendants, fighting the Trump administration, and rubbing shoulders with Biden donors might be of some concern for the Democratic incumbent's top political rival.
The families of several Americans killed or injured by Islamic State and Al-Nusra Front have filed a legal claim against cement maker Lafarge over payments the French company made to extremist groups.
Last year Lafarge became the first company in American history convicted of bribing a foreign terrorist organization after it admitted paying the two groups to allow it to keep operating in Syria.
The plaintiffs include the family of Kayla Mueller, an American aid worker who was raped and murdered, as well as the families of journalists Steven Sotloff and James Foley, who were both beheaded by IS on camera in 2014. Read More
...However, it seems that the punitive measures introduced without any impact assessment have been seriously misguided, especially on the part of the EU.
Rather, the EU has punished itself by foregoing cheap Russian gas and being forced to buy expensive U.S. natural gas.
Strange as it may sound, the Brussels officials knew exactly that this would be the consequence of the sanctions they imposed....
Three days later, we dropped the second atomic bomb on Nagasaki.
The Japanese warlords still voted 3-3 on surrendering.
Intervention by the emperor ended the war and the Japanese told the allies it planned to surrender, which it did on September 2. With the new movie Oppenheimer’s debut last month and the end of the teaching of American history in a positive light, lefties have resurrected the argument against using the A-bomb to end World War II. The Atlantic published the first and perhaps only rebuttal you need to read to this daft argument in December 1946.
Written by Karl T. Compton, an atomic physicist and president of MIT, one of the many people involved in the development of these two bombs, the article addressed the argument against the bombings. Compton wrote, “About a week after V-J Day I was one of a small group of scientists and engineers interrogating an intelligent, well-informed Japanese Army officer in Yokohama.
We asked him what, in his opinion, would have been the next major move if the war had continued.
He replied: ‘You would probably have tried to invade our homeland with a landing operation on Kyushu about November 1. I think the attack would have been made on such and such beaches.’ “‘Could you have repelled this landing?’ we asked, and he answered: ‘It would have been a very desperate fight, but I do not think we could have stopped you.’ “‘What would have happened then?’ we asked. “He replied: ‘We would have kept on fighting until all Japanese were killed, but we would not have been defeated,’ by which he meant that they would not have been disgraced by surrender...
As a Nazi officer pointed out, his other options were to become a Social Democrat or a communist, and the Nazis didn’t care for these people. Social Democrats were sent to camps, and communists were shot.
Matis’ duty was to patrol his small town, unarmed, with other Lithuanian Rifles and report back to the Nazis. He didn’t like Nazis, but he hated communists, and being a Lithuanian Rifle was better than a camp or a bullet.
Besides, Germany was the land of art and science. Germans were civilized, and the communists were animals.
Good riddance to the Stalinists who now found themselves under the gun.
Also, Germany was winning the war. Months after enlisting as a Lithuanian Rifle, Matis, in his mid 30’s, married and father to three children, began to hear insane rumors that the Germans were rounding up Jewish men and teens in nearby towns and shooting them in the forest. It can’t happen here Matis and his friends refused to believe the rumors.
Germans were cultured and sophisticated.
They led Europe in engineering.
Germany was home to some of the world’s best composers, like Brahms, Bach, and Beethoven. Germans built cities. Soviets, not Germans, were feral.
Stalin’s men deported thousands of ethnic Lithuanians out of Vilnius, and they were never seen again...
Facebook took steps to suppress true information or mere opinions about vaccines to avoid a "vaccine negative environment," according to internal company occupations viewed by Fox Business.
On a July 2021 call between Facebook employees and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy's Office, a Facebook employee explained they were combating misinformation, but also working to contain information they admitted was "not false."
The Washington Post‘s fact-checker, Glenn Kessler, gave President Joe Biden four Pinocchios for lying about his son Hunter Biden not making money in China.
