He's another poll for you. Poll that shows 50% approval rating: www.express.co.uk/news/world/998515/Donald-Trump-news-Obama-US-poll-Rasmussen-Reports-US-approval-rating/ampThe US polling company, Rasmussen Reports, published the poll on Thursday August 2, which was among the very few polls that correctly predicted that Mr Trump would defeat Hillary Clinton in the shock 2016 election. The difference between this poll and other polls is that this one relies on push button phone call responses so voters do not have to say who they support out loud. The approval rating of President Trump is five points higher than his predecessor Barack Obama achieved 18 months into his first term in office. ....... So, technically, it was accurate depending on the poll referenced. Factually he's sharing a photoshopped poll. |

Here's another poll for you. OMG !! THE' criminals are all going down. This is a violation of 17 different federal statutes, 4 other state laws where I am viewing it and at least one municipal code. I do not know what those laws are, but it means prison time #Treason |

www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-08-10/florida-and-dhs-refute-democrat-congressmans-claim-russia-penetrated-electionElection officials in South Florida on Thursday refuted a claim made by Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL) that Russian hackers had penetrated their voter registration system. “We have had absolutely no information regarding that,” said Broward County Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes. “We have not seen anything with our system that something strange is going on.” State officials also say Nelson's claim is unfounded. On Wednesday, Nelson - the ranking member of the cyber subcommittee of the Senate Armed Services Committee said that Russian operatives had penetrated some of Florida's election systems ahead of this year's midterms. "They have already penetrated certain counties in the state and they now have free rein to move about," Nelson told the Tampa Bay Times, though he wouldn't identify which counties were affected - saying it was classified. "The threat is real and elections officials — at all levels — need to address the vulnerabilities." Election officials in Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties likewise said they weren't aware of any breaches. That said, Florida election officials say they are doing everything they can to monitor for Kremlin hijinks. Susan Bucher, supervisor of elections for Palm Beach County, said her office has been working diligently to ensure systems are safe on Election Day. Employees have undergone training, and the county’s system has been repeatedly tested for vulnerabilities. “We are confident we have done as much as we can," Bucher said. Snipes said she too has conducted additional training and monitoring in response to the threat. -SunSentinel

The Washington Free Beacon reports that he was responding to a question from a reporter at a townhall stop while on the campaign trail to become New York's Attorney General. He was asked a question about a recent campaign ad where he called Trump fans “home invaders” and said he would use a baseball to defend himself against them. freebeacon.com/politics/attorney-general-candidate-give-trump-fans-say/"The baseball bat is about defending your home and your family when someone’s coming through the front door and you have nowhere to run,” he said, adding: “That’s not violence, that’s self-defense.

"I don’t give a f*** what the Trump fans say,” he replied. “That’s not what this is about. This is about speaking from the heart. About a family I’ve built for 25 years that’s in the crosshairs of these a**holes. And doing something about it." Maloney continued: "It feels like the people who are fueled by hate, demagoguery and anger have their s*** together, and those of us who want to talk about love and hope and inclusion have been hiding in the shadows.” He added: "And it’s time to get out of the shadows and at least defend our ground.

Says the ones who have been throwing a continual infantile temper tantrum since November 2016. Instead of learning the lessons of why your side is losing, you instead preach unverified hate & blame your losses on imaginary bogeymen, instead of presenting a better argument to the voting masses. 1-8 in special elections for the Democrats under President Trump & the generic ballot has slid from a favorable lead for the Democrats, to basically a draw/toss up heading into the midterms. But, please, carry on with the preaching of hatred, endorsing violence against both the current administration, it’s staff and those fellow Americans who voted for it. It has worked wonders for you so far. |

dailycaller.com/2018/08/12/keith-ellison-domestic-violence/A person claiming to be the son of a prominent Minnesota-based environmental activist is accusing Rep. Keith Ellison of physically assaulting his mother while the two were in a relationship. Ellison physically assaulted and psychologically abused Sierra Club activist Karen Monahan while the two were in a relationship, according to Austin Aslim Monahan, who claims to be Karen’s son. Austin Monahan also claims his mother convinced him not to make the incidents public because it would not be in her best interests. “My brother and I watched our mom come out of pure hell after getting out of her relationship with Keith Ellison,” Austin wrote in a Facebook post Saturday before detailing the nature of the abuse. His post comes as Ellison runs attorney general in Minnesota. “I was using my moms computer trying to download something and I clicked on a file, I found over 100 text and twitters messages and video almost 2 min long that showed Keith Ellison dragging my mama off the bed by her feet, screaming and calling her a ‘fucking bitch’ and telling her to get the fuck out of his house,” he wrote. Austin added: “We were ready to go public but our mom begged us not to and she along with others convinced us it wasn’t in our moms best interest.” Neither Karen nor Ellison have responded to The Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment about the validity of the Facebook post. While Karen has avoided publicly accusing Ellison of any wrongdoing, she did retweet a post from one of Ellison’s opponents, Debra Hilstrom, asking the Democratic lawmaker to answer for the allegations.

Austin’s post on Facebook: My name is Austin Monahan and I am writing this letter on behalf of me and my brother. My brother and I watched our mom come out of pure hell after getting out of her relationship with Keith Ellison. For several months we knew something wasn’t right and couldn’t figure it out. When we asked our mom if everything was ok, she told us she was dealing with some stress and would be ok. In the middle of 2017, I was using my moms computer trying to download something and I clicked on a file, I found over 100 text and twitters messages and video almost 2 min long that showed Keith Ellison dragging my mama off the bed by her feet, screaming and calling her a “fucking bitch” and telling her to get the fuck out of his house. The messages I found, were mixed with him consistently telling my mom he wanted her back, he missed her, he knew he fucked up and we wished he could do things different, he would victim shaming, bully her, and threaten her if she went public. I text him and told him I know what you did to my mama and a few other things. I met up with my mom that night and asked her what happened. She said nothing happened until I told her I saw a video and hell of a lot of messages saying something different. She finally talked. My brother and I were so angry and hurt for our mom. We were ready to go public but our mom begged us not to and she along with others convinced us it wasn’t in our moms best interest. I saw message after message through out all that time, where my mom was telling him she wasn’t going back to him but still saw his humanity and offered restorative justice. I honestly don’t see how she would offer him that, but thats her choice. Sitting all this time, watching what our mom went through and not being able to say or do anything was hard as hell. None of you know the hell our family has gone through. I don’t think half of you would even care. We watched her so called political friends stand by say or do nothing. People had an idea what happened and never reached out to my mom. The same people who are posting about social justice are ready to smear my mom, protect a person who abused her and broke the law. You think we give a shit about a politics when we saw what our mom went through? She may not matter to none of you, but she is our mom, our kids grandmother and she is actually someone. There is a lot more he has done to my mom and others that we saw in the text but our mom can decide if and when she wants to tell the world that part. Whether we saw the video or read all those messages, we still would have believed her if she had told us. #Ibelieveher My mom has always tried to protect me and my brother. She doesn’t have to protect us anymore and we aren’t letting her stand alone. When we found out our mom was planning on sharing her story, that is all we needed to hear for us to share ours and stand with our mom. You want to smear someone, try to lie about a person who didn’t do shit to deserve the ongoing emotional, physical abuse, smear me and my brother. I use to believe the Democrats were the ones who would stand by a person who went through this kind of abuse, now I know both Democrats and Republicans could care less when it comes to violence toward women and girls. I have learned a lot about how patriarchy has shaped me as a 25 year old through all this. I just became a father and I am working on how patriarchy influenced thoughts ad decisions I have made as a young man so I can teach my son better. I am starting today by standing with my mom, my sons grandma. It is not just on women and girls to speak out, it is on men to do some of the emotional work. I’m not here to prove shit to anyone, I’m just stating facts. You can take it or leave it. #Iammanenough Mom, I am sure you are getting contacted about this post. Just know we love you and we are standing by you. Austin Monahan #Ibelieveher #wearemanenough #Timesup |

thefederalist.com/2018/08/13/trumps-voters-turn-fall-theyll-give-republicans-huge-senate-majority/If Trump’s Voters Turn Out This Fall, They’ll Give Republicans A Big Senate Majority In the small-town and rural Midwest, the Republican margin of victory over the Democratic presidential candidate increased to 28.8 percent in 2016 from 12.4 percent in 2012. By Thomas Mitchell Hillary Clinton ruled the big Midwestern cities and suburbs in 2016, often surpassing Barack Obama’s 2012 margins of victory in places like Hamilton County, Ohio (Cincinnati) and Hennepin County, Minnesota (Minneapolis.) But in every Midwestern state, the small towns and countryside gave Donald Trump much higher victory margins than they gave Mitt Romney in 2012. The small-town and rural Midwest gave Hillary 20 percent fewer votes than Obama received in 2012, and gave Trump 13 percent more votes than they did Romney. The GOP smaller-town victory margin increased an astonishing 130 percent for the nine Midwestern states in aggregate. The “Small–Town and Rural” vote is defined as all voters not in major cities, suburbs, or established “blue collar” industrial counties, not places where media heavies or the donor class live. ...... In the small-town and rural Midwest, the Republican margin of victory over the Democratic presidential candidate increased to 28.8 percent in 2016 from 12.4 percent in 2012. Trump won seven of the nine Midwestern states, and was very competitive in Minnesota. Only Illinois, with a heavy 70 percent weighting in the total vote from the city of Chicago and from the Chicago and St. Louis suburbs, was a smooth win for Hillary Clinton. (All percentages are shown as between the two top candidates. 64.4% – 35.6% = 28.8%; 56.2% – 43.8% = 12.4%.) Here’s the popular and electoral vote “small town and rural” voter impact in 2016, with the “switch states” from 2012 separated.

www.nationalreview.com/2018/08/nancy-pelosi-damaging-democrats-midterm-election-chances/Nancy Pelosi Is Damaging Democrats’ Takeover Chances By JOHN FUND August 12, 2018 6:53 PM Will her party reach out to swing voters by persuading her to step aside? Will Democrats pull an “October Surprise” this year and announce that the highly polarizing Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco won’t be their candidate for House speaker after all? Growing up in the Bay Area, I saw Pelosi’s iron will and stubbornness up close for decades. The possibility of her stepping back seems remote. But she’s also the shrewd tactician who always tells moderate Democrats they can publicly spurn her because the imperative is “Just win, baby.” If the race for House control is close in October, many Democrats hope she’ll step back to deprive the GOP of a campaign issue. Some Democrats are willing to publicly acknowledge that the highly liberal Pelosi alienates independents and moderates. “People pretend that it isn’t a problem, but it’s a problem that exists,” Representative Brian Higgins (D., N.Y.) told the Washington Post last week. He said frustrated colleagues told him that Republicans’ anti-Pelosi ads cost Democrats the House special election in Ohio, where they trailed by only 1,500 votes. One third of the national ads run by Republicans in that race mentioned Pelosi, and she became a real issue when Democrat Danny O’Connor, after first saying that Democrats need “new leadership,” finally admitted he would vote for her as speaker over a Republican if Democrats put her forward: “I would support whoever the Democratic party put forward.” This comment dominated local coverage of the House race for the week leading up to the special election. Higgins says that challengers in other competitive districts are getting the same treatment when it comes to Pelosi: “They are stuck with that question, and they do not deal with it well. You equivocate, and it jams you up, and it costs you votes.” Pelosi is toxic enough that NBC News reported on Friday that she might have trouble winning the necessary 218 votes for speaker even if Democrats become a majority of the House: At least 42 of the party’s nominees for House seats have declared they will not back Pelosi, and nine incumbent Democratic lawmakers are on the record opposing her, bringing the total to 51. An additional 34 Democratic nominees are neither for nor against Pelosi, who has led her party in the House since 2003. Donna Edwards, a former Democratic congresswoman of Maryland, supported Pelosi while she was in the House, but said on Meet the Press today that if Democrats win back the House in November, the current nervousness of their candidates about Pelosi doesn’t mean they’ll abandon her if she runs for speaker: Nancy Pelosi is the best vote counter ever. And she’s not going to run for speaker unless she believes that she can get the votes to do it. . . . But you know what, I think she may deserve it. I mean, she’s already raised almost $90 million for Democrats across the country. She knows that, you know, she can be a lightning rod. And you know what she says? She says, “Just win, baby.” Because she knows that when they come in, they’re going to have to make the decision, she’s the one who brought them there. The attacks on Pelosi will only intensify as Election Day approaches, and her current poll numbers are already remarkably low. A new American Barometer poll found that only 27 percent of voters wanted her to stay as Democratic leader. Nearly half of Democrats thought it was time for a fresh start. So did 79 percent of independents. “Democrats are split on whether to keep Nancy Pelosi as leader, and independents and most voter groups want someone else to step up,” said Dritan Nesho, the CEO of HarrisX, the survey taker. “The findings suggest a yearning for change.”

www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/08/13/gallup-democrats-prefer-socialism-to-capitalism/amp/news.gallup.com/poll/240725/democrats-positive-socialism-capitalism.aspxGallup reported Monday morning that “Democrats have a more positive image of socialism than they do of capitalism” for the first time since the company began polling that question over the past decade. The major shift, Gallup says, has been that Democrats have lost faith in capitalism — even as the economy has exceeded 4.1% growth and unemployment has hit all-time lows: Attitudes toward socialism among Democrats have not changed materially since 2010, with 57% today having a positive view. The major change among Democrats has been a less upbeat attitude toward capitalism, dropping to 47% positive this year — lower than in any of the three previous measures. Republicans remain much more positive about capitalism [71%] than about socialism [16%], with little sustained change in their views of either since 2010. The poll mentions Democratic congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has become a national figure since defeating incumbent Rep. Joe Crowley in a primary race in New York while running as an unabashed “democratic socialist.” Gallup notes that there has been “12-point decline in young adults’ positive views of capitalism in just the past two years and a marked shift since 2010, when 68% viewed it positively.” That result comes in spite of growing opportunity for young people in the growing economy. It would appear that Democrats, and young people, may have a view on capitalism that is not driven by economic reality but by politics and aesthetics.
