    Your other points may have some validity, but this one is years away

    The newspaper attacking Trump just concluded polling that shows Democrats have never been LESS POPULAR in 35 years. 63% of voters hold an unfavorable view of the Democratic Party. Wow. Who knew that promoting failed policies, weaponizing key institutions in the government, spending like drunken sailors, and lying whenever the opportunity presents itself would be so unpopular? Democrats are cooked and they have only themselves to blame!


    Democrats Get Lowest Rating From Voters in 35 Years, WSJ Poll Finds

    The Democratic Party’s image has eroded to its lowest point in more than three decades, according to a new Wall Street Journal poll, with voters seeing Republicans as better at handling most issues that decide elections.

    The new survey finds that 63% of voters hold an unfavorable view of the Democratic Party—the highest share in Journal polls dating to 1990 and 30 percentage points higher than the 33% who hold a favorable view.

    That is a far weaker assessment than voters give to either President Trump or the Republican Party, who are viewed more unfavorably than favorably by 7 points and 11 points, respectively. A mere 8% of voters view the Democrats “very favorably,” compared with 19% who show that level of enthusiasm for the GOP.

    That's because Democrats are still mad at their own party for running Biden / Harris and losing in 2024. Plus Dems are more likely to be honest with pollsters than the cultists on the right. Look for these numbers to go up by 15% if Dems win back the house in the midterms.

    Trump could put us into a depression and 90%+ of Republicans would still tell posters they approve.

    A depression might be necessary to get that Demoncrat money out of our country. Trump knows we have to sacrifice in the short term to be great in the long term.

    Depression?

    The economy is roaring
    . Investors' optimism on the economy has pushed the stock market to all time highs -- in the face of high interest rates from Jerome Powell. That's true strength. Inflation is quite low -- well below 3%. Taxes were just cut for the working class (tips, OT). In June America had a budget SURPLUS -- helped by tariff income. Manufacturing investment is pouring into the USA, which will fuel job growth and real wage growth.

    We are in the Golden Age of America.


    GOOD DAY

    NEW: The NYT discovered a secret transfer of $934 MILLION dollars, to retrofit the Qatar bribe/plane.

    I'd rather have Medicaid for all.

    That's just about what the National Science Foundation spent on R&D across the engineering fields for the entire country in 2024. Now, it appears that it is about $934 million more than the NSF will spend on engineering in 2025.

    An excellent speech by the Governor of Massachusetts to the "bipartisan" National Governors Association:



    More important news:

    Govs. Walz, Kelly to leave National Governors Association citing lack of bipartisan initiatives: Sources

    By Brittany Shepherd and Isabella Murray
    July 26, 2025, 7:37 PM

    Sources say two prominent Democrats are stepping away from a national bipartisan organization that brings together the chief executives of all 50 states, citing a lack of pushback to Trump administration policies and to some recent threats to state funding and operations.

    Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly, the chair of the Democratic Governors Association (DGA), will be leaving the National Governors Association (NGA) at the end of the month, a source familiar with her thinking told ABC News.

    She will actively step back from the organization, not only by not paying dues but also by withdrawing from promoting or taking part in any NGA-associated work, the source said.

    Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the former DGA chair, is also cutting ties with the NGA and will stop paying dues to the organization next year as he is "reassessing" his membership, another source told ABC News.

    The two governors are stepping away at a time when the association appears to engage in fewer bipartisan initiatives and advocate less for states as they face uncertainty around some of the Trump administration's policies and Congress' recent cuts to federal funding, according to the second source, who called that a departure from the group's past work to champion local issues.

    The NGA is "not living up to the most fundamental aspect of its mission statement" while Congress and the Trump administration are "dismantling solutions-based governance," said the source familiar with Kelly's thinking.

    "The economy is roaring" says MAGATs lol. The Atlanta fed has Q2 gdp at 2.2% which is lower than 2024 Q2 GDP 2.8%.

    You right wingers @Space Ghost cant even spew propaganda properly

    Nd dont forget MAGATs @tallanvor @Os Trigonum @StupidMoniker spent the past 4 years launching a fake impeachment hearing on biden supposedly getting a 5 million dollar bribe (it turned out the individual who made this claim was sentenced to prison for lying) yet have no issue with a billion dollars of taxpayer money being sent to renovate a illegal gift he got.

    Sincerely half of America is genuinely braindead

    Traitor George, you're confused and all mixed-up.

    inflation is higheer now than when Biden left office.

    and that is before the tariffs (value-added consumption tax) go into effect
