President Joe Biden. And Stuff.

Previously posted on my Facebook page.


Yahoo Finance: “Warning signs for Biden: Economy.” Like other polls, a new Yahoo-Finance Ipsos survey found broad dissatisfaction with Biden on the economy. Some 46 percent of respondents said Biden’s policies have hurt them, consistent with other polls showing public thumbs-down of Biden’s handling of the economy, less than 40 percent. Rising costs of basic needs can’t be denied so the 17 percent who said Joe’s policies helped them are hardcores in denial. ๐Ÿ›๐Ÿ—ฝ๐Ÿ›




New York Times: “As Black Voters Drift to Trump, Biden’s Allies Say They Have Work to Do.” And adds: “New York Times/Siena College polling painted a worrisome picture of the president’s standing with a crucial constituency. Democratic strategists warned that the erosion could threaten his re-election.” Best recourse for the Democratic Party? Convince Joe Biden to forgo another shot at White House pedestal. That’d be regardless who runs against him next year. Meanwhile, per Rolling Stone: “RFK Jr. Beating Biden and Trump Among Young Voters in Key States: Poll.” ๐Ÿ›๐Ÿ—ฝ๐Ÿ›


New York Times: “Biden Confronts the Limits of U.S. Leverage in Two Conflicts.” And adds: “President Biden’s influence over Israel and Ukraine seems far more constrained than expected, given his central role as the supplier of arms and intelligence.” In other words, his foreign policy playbook is flawed, damaged, or inept. Or all of those. All started with the haphazard U.S. military evacuation in Afghanistan in 2021, add the failed goading of China/Taiwan conflict. ๐Ÿข๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿข




New York Times: “Trump Leads in 5 Critical States as Voters Blast Biden, Times/Siena Poll Finds.” / Rolling Stone: “Biden Bleeds Younger Voters, Now Trails Trump in Swing States, New Polls Find.” Battleground states Nevada, Georgia, Arizona, Michigan and Pennsylvania, which voted for Biden in 2020, now say they trust Trump over President Biden on the economy, foreign policy and immigration, as Mr. Joe’s multiracial base shows signs of fraying. ๐Ÿ›๐Ÿ—ฝ๐Ÿ›


New York Times: “A Snapshot of Support for Palestinians Across America.” / Time: Protest Marches Across the Globe Call for a Gaza Ceasefire.” / Rolling Stone: “Massive D.C. Ceasefire Protest Directs Its Rage at Biden.” Some rabid pro-Israeli friends must understand that the protests aren’t condonement of Hamas terrorism. They are about cessation of Israeli military strikes for the welfare of innocent Palestinians. At least get them out of the line of fire. 

       NY Times adds: “Marches in Washington, D.C., Ohio, Utah and California, with tens of thousands of protesters, reflect the many different groups calling for a cease-fire and lifting of the siege in Gaza.” ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ☮️๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ


Rolling Stone: “Young Activists to Biden: Change Course on Gaza - or Lose in 2024.” The threat is real, regardless of party affiliation. Gen Z or the young per are not necessarily Democrat. Some 41 million members of Gen Z will be eligible to vote in 2024’s presidential election. As many as 7 million to 9 million more members of the racially and culturally diverse Gen Z cast ballots in 2024 than they did in 2020. And then there’s Joe Biden’s murky economic scorecard. 

       For the first time, Gen Z and Millennials combined could account for as many votes next year as the Baby Boomers and their elders—the groups that have made up a majority of voters for decades. ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ☮️๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ


New York Times: “Will the Middle East War Change Voters’ Views of Biden?” Strategists warn, however, that his re-election may depend more on domestic issues like the economy. President Biden’s overall approval rating dropped to 37 percent in the latest poll. Bleak sign/s as he sets to run for reelection next year. Former President Donald Trump is the runaway favorite for the GOP presidential nomination. Per ABC News/Washington Post poll, Trump beats Biden, 51 to 42. ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ☮️๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ
