The liberal media keeps pushing its narrative about Donald Trump’s unpopularity, but the numbers tell a different story. Trump’s base is more passionate and committed than Obama’s ever was, and we’ve got the data to prove it.
Mark Mitchell from Rasmussen Reports dropped a truth bomb on X today, sharing a chart that liberals won’t want you to see. The data shows Trump’s Approval Index — the difference between those who strongly approve and strongly disapprove — consistently beating Barack Obama’s numbers.
A look at approval index shows that Trump actually outshines most Obama polling.
Approval Index = Strong Approve – Strong Disapprove.

The key here is to not place your hopes in the polls. Instead, watch for what Trump’s strategies produce. Is he going to be perfect? Nope. (For example, some are blaming him for Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberals federal election victory yesterday.)
Keep a couple of things in mind. First, it’s only been 100 days and Trump has been keeping his promises to kick illegals out of the country, to rebalance trade, and to bring businesses and manufacturing back to American shores. He’s standing up to China, he’s brokering peace between Russia and Ukraine, and he’s put Iran on notice. He’s slapped down the Houthis in Yemen, he’s exerting tremendous influence on control of the Panama Canal, and he’s quietly still working on an agreement with Greenland.
In other words, he’s putting America first.
Second, remember that the MSM polls are skewed liberal. The better polls are Rasmussen, which was pretty accurate about the 2024 presidential election. The MSM is no longer favored by this White House and is being dealt with like the partisan hacks that they are.
Mitchell accused legacy polling firms and the mainstream media of working together to paint a misleading picture.
“The mainstream media on top of that is gonna be this information gatekeeping layer,” he said, citing Quinnipiac’s poll from a month ago showing Trump at negative 12 points — a number that was heavily promoted in the media despite being completely ridiculous.
“Well, their numbers haven’t moved, and so now it’s, um, they’re gonna use Reuters. They’re gonna use ABC Washington, you know, negative 13, negative 12, negative 14,” Mitchell added. “Those are all new. They all dropped over the weekend.”
He even joked that the pollsters might be congratulating each other behind the scenes. “I wonder if they’re, like, slapping each other on the butts and saying, ‘Good game,’ after this coordinated, like, dump of polling,” he said. “I think that’s probably what it is.”
Don’t fret when you see a negative poll about Trump. Give him time to work.
When I was a kid, I was taught that if I ever got lost, I should find a policeman, who would help me get back to my mom and dad. There was implicit trust that law enforcement authorities were safe and would do the right thing.
New Mexico Judge Joel M. Cano, Massachusetts Judge Shelley Richmond, and Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan made conscious, deliberate, and premeditated decisions to aid criminals, obstruct law enforcement, and desecrate the very system they were sworn to uphold.
In just a few days’ time, these three black-robed offenders committed what can only be described as acts of judicial treason against the American people.
And make no mistake: holding them fully accountable isn’t merely an option—it’s an absolute necessity.
It’s a necessity because if they’re allowed to get away with the alleged crimes then it confirms our system of justice is a collapsing two-tiered joke that “no one is above the law.”
Joel Cano, Shelley Richmond, and Hannah Dugan must be removed from office, disbarred, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Anything less sends a deadly message to America: that the people enforcing the law can live above it.
They must face consequences—not because they made human errors—but because they made deliberate, calculated betrayals.
When those who have power to make decisions about how laws are enforced no longer follow the rule of law, then by definition they become lawbreakers. In other words, they become criminals just like those they are supposed to judge without tipping the scales of justice in one way or another.
In these cases, they were not just accomplices, but perpetrators themselves.
Dugan’s fellow Wisconsinite, Sen. Tammy Baldwin (Leftist), was incensed that a Lefty judge was arrested and charged with two felonies:
“Make no mistake, we do not have kings in this country and we are a democracy governed by laws that everyone must abide by,” Baldwin said.
Everyone, apparently, but illegal aliens and ideological judges.
My shocked face wore out in 2020 but it’s still bracing to see the knee-jerk denialism and breathless sky-is-falling catastrophizing from the Left.
This is not normal.
The Administration's arrest of a sitting judge in Wisconsin is a drastic move that threatens the rule of law.
While we don’t have all the details, this is a grave step and undermines our system of checks and balances.
What’s “not normal” Amy is that a sitting judge aided and abetted a criminal illegal alien’s escape from federal authorities. Our only response to Klobucher should be:
If Ms. Dugan wants to protect illegal aliens and help them evade ICE officials she just can’t do it in her judge’s robes. And if she can’t separate her personal activism from her official duties as an unbiased judge, then she must leave the court — voluntarily or involuntarily.
And either way she should pay the penalty for her criminal law breaking.
If you want to know why Leftist Democrats and Leftist judges want to prevent illegals from being deported, here’s all you need to see:
It boggles the mind that a Maryland Democrat senator goes all out for an illegally present, MS-13 gang member and human trafficker from El Salvador accused of beating his wife who was sent back to his country of origin—while ignoring the brutal 2023 murder of a 37-year-old mother of five by a different Salvadoran illegal immigrant, without so much as a full-throated denunciation.
Why is it that Sen. Chris Van Hollen traveled to El Salvador last week—most likely on the taxpayers’ dime—to try and win the release and return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia? Why isn’t he applauding the deportation of a foreigner who illegally crossed into the United States in 2011 and lived here for 14 years even though he was under deportation orders? And why are Democrats as a party outright opposing the efforts to repatriate the millions of foreigners who flooded our nation over the last four years during the reign of Joey Sponge-Brain and his Cast of Hannibal Lecters?
I’ll tell you why.
It’s because they’ve inhaled the toxic fumes of Marxist-based wokery and believe that the United States of America is a racist country that oppresses minorities and that it is a moral imperative to elevate the oppressed and crush the oppressor. Sen. Van Hollen sees his effort to reverse the Trump administration’s action as a noble virtue that expresses his contempt for the ruling class and identifies himself with the oppressed.
“Why is the government of El Salvador continuing to imprison a man where they have no evidence that he’s committed any crime and they have not been provided any evidence from the United States that he has committed any crime?” Van Hollen told reporters before Morin took the briefing room podium. “They should just let him go.”
Well, senator, it may be that the laws are different in El Salvador. Perhaps just being a member of MS13 is grounds for imprisonment; I hear that they’ve been rounding up gang members by the thousands under a state of emergency for the last couple of years. But you go right ahead and tell El Salvador who should and shouldn’t be in prison. Seems to be your thing.
It’s true that the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration must “facilitate” Abrego Garcia’s return and “to ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador” due to an administrative error. But it’s also true that the court didn’t require the administration to “effectuate” his return.
I’m guessing the difference is that “facilitating” his return means cooperating with El Salvadore to return him to the US once he’s made available by El Salvador, whereas “effectuating” his return means that the administration is responsible to get him back—to make it happen—whether El Salvador wants to cooperate or not. It’s the difference between waiting for the other party to act or taking the initiative yourself.
(Of course, I don’t know the legal nuances of such words. I’m an opinion writer, not a lawyer. So, take what I think with a grain of salt.)
Our immigration system is not only broken, but overwhelmed. There is no way for us to process tens of millions of foreigners in a reasonable amount of time. Thousands of them are criminals.
If they are here illegally, the only way to reduce their presence quickly is to round them up and send them back to where they came from. Even if they’ve claimed asylum.
Will some of them sincerely fear for their lives? Yes. But the responsibility for that lies with the previous administration, which illegally facilitated (there’s that word again) the worst foreign invasion on American soil in our history.
They made the mess. We need to clean it up and quickly. Kick them all out and tell them to come back through legal channels.
And if they’re angry about it, tell them to talk to Mayorkas and Biden.
Isn’t it refreshing to have a president who at least respects the Christian faith, even if we sometimes wonder just where he himself stands with Jesus Christ? I think some of what Trump does in defending the faith is part of his MAGA agenda, since he and any historian worth their degree knows that our Founders and the early republic reflected Judeo-Christian beliefs. Our entire system of government rests on the model of biblical law.

Now Jesus was going up to Jerusalem. On the way, he took the Twelve aside and said to them, “We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life!” (Matthew 20:17-19)
I’m not an economist and I don’t play one on TV, so I’m not sure what to tell you about Trump’s tariff scheme. He cranks out a list of countries using some mathematical formula that creates just the right reciprocal tariffs on each, starting with a baseline 10% tariff on everyone we trade with.
Then the markets tank, analysts panic and there’s a massive sell-off. Then Trump “pauses” the tariffs for 90 days so that he can make deals with dozens of countries that reached out to the U.S. Markets skyrocket and post one of its biggest rallies in history.
First, the tariffs to every country was meant to cause the free world to make a choice – China or us. According to Scott Bessent on the White House lawn early this afternoon, north of 75 countries have chosen us. They are clamoring to renegotiate trade deals. Inevitably, every one of these deals will benefit the United States. It defies logic to believe that America’s position vis-a-vis trade with any individual country is going to be worse off after negotiating a new deal. With some countries, we’ll be nominally better off. With other countries, we’ll be in a much more equitable place. And because we have the commitment of 75+ countries to renegotiate trade, Trump is pausing the tariffs for 90-days in good faith in order to let the negotiators do their thing.
The bottom line is none of these pending trade deals would have been offered or committed to without the tariffs used as an attention-getter.
Second, by forcing the world to choose between the United States and China, China has become further isolated. Trump has all the leverage in the world to squeeze China, and squeezing them is exactly what he’s doing.
It’s high stakes gamesmanship and Trump knows exactly what he’s doing.
Trump knew all along the stock market, and the angst around it from the chattering class in resistance media was transient, and would rebound once he got us into a position of strength in global trade.
The bottom line to phase two is that all of it – phase 1 and phase 2, were a plan to take on China and combat them as the growing threat they are before having to deal with them anyway once they’re stronger and we’re weaker. This has been always about boxing in China. All of it. Yes, Canada, you, too.
I get a little nervous when playing chicken with a behemoth like China. We are dependent on China for pharmaceuticals, as we learned during Covid (released by China on purpose, I’m convinced, to take out Donald Trump). China supplies us with electrical machinery and TV parts, nuclear reactor parts and mechanical appliances, toys, games, sports equipment, plastics, furniture and lamps, vehicles, iron and steel, and optical and photographic parts, electronics, medical equipment, pharmaceutical ingredients, and, last but not least, rare earth minerals, which are crucial for industries like defense, renewable energy, and consumer electronics.
The U.S. imported $438 billion worth of goods from China in 2024 and only exported $144 billion. We’ve outsourced a lot of our manufacturing to China.
The tariffs are a tool to reset global trade and to begin diminishing the influence that China has on the world stage. They probably won’t be too happy about any negative impact that a reordered trade regime has on their Belt and Road strategy.
Since March, Tim Cook-led Apple has chartered at least six cargo jets, each carrying an estimated 100 tons of iPhones, to fly from India to the US, Reuters reported, citing sources familiar with the situation.
The tech giant also nudged Indian authorities to expedite the shipments through customs.
Apple “wanted to beat the tariff” with its last-minute shipments, a source familiar with its planning told Reuters.
In total, approximately 1.5 million iPhones were ferried to the US, according to Reuters calculations.
Meanwhile, the German luxury car brand Porsche warned analysts on Thursday that its first-quarter results would be impacted by “higher company-owned inventory shipped to the US to beat the tariff deadline.”
Trump imposed a 25% tariff on imported cars and car parts that went into effect April 3.
That levy remains in effect despite his 90-day pause on country-specific measures.
Trump is a disrupter, and I learned from his first term and from his second presidential campaign not to underestimate him, nor to panic when he does something that seems completely illogical. There’s a method to his madness, and I’ve decided to trust that his instincts are pretty good.
A longer one today. I encourage you to read and listen to it all.
One of the things that I am deeply concerned about is the growing presence of Islam in the United States. It is a concern that stems from what we’ve witnessed over the 24 years since 9/11, when jihadi “extremists” made their presence known to the whole world.
Since then, Islamic “extremists” have carried out thousands of attacks worldwide, including four commuter trains bombed in Madrid (191 dead); the Beslan massacre (330 dead); four suicide bombers during London rush hour (52 killed); the massacre of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo staff in Paris (17 killed); the massacre of students at a university campus in Kenya (150 dead); a rampage at a beach resort in Tunisia (37 murdered); and many others.
A world-historical societal transformation is taking place before our very eyes, and yet few have taken notice. Britain, the erstwhile leader of the Western world and the foundation and source of English-speaking civilization, is in its last days as a free society, and will soon become an Islamic state. Yet despite the mountains of evidence that this transformation is taking place, many will still deny that it is happening at all. They may not even admit it when it overtakes them personally.
The English actor-turned-political-activist Lawrence Fox recently noted what was happening: “The Mayor of London is a Muslim. The mayor of Birmingham is a Muslim. The Mayor of Leeds is Muslim. Mayor of Blackburn – Muslim. The mayor of Sheffield is a Muslim. The mayor of Oxford is a Muslim. The mayor of Luton is a Muslim. The mayor of Oldham is Muslim. The mayor of Rochdale is Muslim. All this was achieved by only 4 million Muslims out of 66 million people in England.”
[…]
Lawrence Fox continued: “Today there are over 3,000 mosques in England. There are over 130 sharia courts. There are more than 50 Sharia Councils. 78 percent of Muslim women do not work, receive state support + free accommodation. 63 percent of Muslims do not work, receive state support + free housing. State-supported Muslim families with an average of 6 to 8 children receive free accommodation. Now every school in the UK is required to teach lessons about Islam. Has anyone ever been given an opportunity to vote for this?”
An unpleasant reality: The government accepts the fact that Britain will be an Islamic State well before 2050, and is thus guided by one operational principle alone: ensure the transition from Christian/Post-Christian Britain to Britistan is as peaceful as possible. What would…
An unpleasant reality: The government accepts the fact that Britain will be an Islamic State well before 2050, and is thus guided by one operational principle alone: ensure the transition from Christian/Post-Christian Britain to Britistan is as peaceful as possible. What would this look like in practice? You are witnessing it in real time. Islam is revered, promoted and excused. Traditional Britain is persecuted smeared and jailed
Ayaan Hirsi Ali was born and raised a Muslim in Mogadishu, Somalia. In her early 30s she renounced Islam and identified as an atheist. She recently underwent a conversion to Christianity (see here). She has the same concern as Spencer and Weston.
In a nine-count thread on X, Maral Salmassi also comes to the same conclusion in her final panel (all nine posts are worth reading):
“Modern civilization,” by which she means the West.
Which brings me back to the United States. We, too, are incrementally going the way of Europe. There are roughly 4 million Muslims in the U.S. According to a CNN report from 2018,
According to [Pew Research Center] data, the Muslim population is growing at an accelerated rate, and will more than double from an estimated 3.45 million in 2017 to an estimated 8.1 million in 2050. In the meantime, Muslims are expected to surpass Jews as the second-largest religious group.
We’ve had numerous terrorist attacks on us since 9/11, including the Times Square bomber (failed); the Fort Hood shooting (13 dead); the Boston Marathon bombing (3 dead); the business holiday event shooting in San Bernadino (14 killed); the Orlando nightclub shooting (49 dead); the pickup truck attack on a Manhattan bike path (8 killed); a Muslim beheading a co-worker in Oklahoma City; a Muslim trying to take over a Jet Blue cockpit (restrained); a Muslim attacker in Fargo, North Dakota (1 killed); a Muslim trying to run down a crowd of Jewish people with his car in LA (no one injured); and the jihadist who ran his truck down Bourbon street in New Orleans on New Year’s Day (15 killed). Plus, lots more (including so-called “honor killings”) that I document here.
Voters in three Detroit suburbs chose, for the first time, mayors who are both Muslim and Arab American in historic local elections on Tuesday, marking a shift in political power to a region that has the largest concentration of Arab Americans in the U.S.
Dearborn, Dearborn Heights and Hamtramck, all located in southeastern Michigan, have seen decades of economic growth and cultural advancement driven by Arab American immigration and investment, but have struggled with representation.
Hamtramck, which has a population of about 28,000 people, made headlines in 2021 when it became the first US city to elect an all-Muslim City Council and a Muslim mayor.
Hamtramck is also the only city in America with a Muslim majority population, while Dearborn is said to have the country’s largest concentration of Arab Americans. The five states with the highest Muslim populations (2025) are New York (724,000), California (504,000), Illinois (474,000), New Jersey (322,000), Texas (313,000), and Michigan (242,000) [Source].
Why should we be concerned? Because as Muslims become a greater part of society, they will begin demanding accommodations. In fact, it has already started in ways that aren’t easy to see.
The rising Muslim population has also led to an increase in demand for Shariah-compliant stocks. These stocks are from businesses that conduct their activities in accordance with Shariah rules and refrain from gaining exposure to sectors like alcohol, tobacco, and gambling.
Those are just three examples. It goes much deeper and darker than just Sharia-compliant products or accommodations. It’s all about infiltration and conquering the country.
Here is a 3 min video that they tell you what they plan to do and they show you how they do it
The goal of the Muslim Brotherhood (CAIR) backed by the Muslim ummah is to control the political power in every state in USA and eventually the all country pic.twitter.com/2lLrZfxel9
The most important point in this video that many peoples in the west didn’t realize, is that the Islamic movement want the west to be busy with other issues rather to be focus on them, on their expansion, mission and infiltration
If this is all new to you, it may be a lot to take in. It may even seem far-fetched. But I’ve been watching the rise of Islam in the West and in the U.S. for about 15 years. I may not face the long-term consequences of what is growing in our country, but my children and their children most certainly will.
If you want to know what will happen here without any intervention, just watch what happens in England. It won’t be long before the Brits surrender to a fully Islamified nation, or have to literally fight their way out of submission.
I can guarantee you that in the not-too-distant future, the conflict between freedom as a way of life in a constitutional republic and the dictates of Islam will become greatly aggravated and, if nothing is done to head off that conflict, it will end in patriotic Americans having to fight for survival.
For the first time, a team of Israeli archaeologists has uncovered ancient artifacts at northern Israel’s “Armageddon” site that might offer proof of an epic battle documented in the books of Kings II and Chronicles between a king of Judah and an Egyptian pharaoh.
Two academic papers published earlier this year explained how an unprecedented amount of 7th-century BCE Egyptian pottery was found in recent excavations at Megiddo, suggesting that Egyptian soldiers were indeed in the right biblical place at what could be the right biblical period.
“Megiddo is the only site in Israel and the neighboring countries mentioned in the Bible and in all great records of the Ancient Near East,” said Prof. Israel Finkelstein, head of the School of Archaeology and Maritime Cultures at the University of Haifa and long-time director of the Megiddo Expedition.
I love biblical archaeology that offers evidence, if not outright proof, for events and people written about in the Bible. So often the Bible is scoffed at as being mythological or just a collection of imaginative stories, but certainly not rooted in history. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The Book of 2 Chronicles in chapters 34-35 and 2 Kings in chapters 22-23 narrate the vicissitudes of the 16th King of Judah, Josiah. As he rose to the throne, he was described as a God-fearing leader who brought the people of Israel back to a righteous path after centuries of idol-worshipping and sinful behaviors. Yet, his efforts did not placate God’s wrath against the people. As Egyptian Pharaoh Necho marched against the Assyrians, Josiah confronted him at Megiddo, and Necho killed him (2 Chronicles 35:20-22; 2 Kings 23:29). The Assyrians, one of several biblical foes of the people of Israel, were responsible for destroying the kingdom of Israel in the northern part of the land (where Megiddo is located) in the 8th century CE, a century before the Josiah-Necho battle.
“It is important to note that the re-establishment of the site as an Egyptian stronghold in the late 7th century BCE had long been suspected, mostly based on a biblical verse in the Book of Kings, which described Josiah’s execution at Megiddo by Pharaoh Necho,” said Dr. Assaf Kleiman of Ben Gurion University, a senior member of the Megiddo Expedition staff who led the studies published in Egypt and the Levant and the Scandinavian Journal of the Old Testament.
The Bible is so historically accurate that archaeologists have found it a reliable source for their own work.
In that episode (embedded below), Kramer finds the mummy of what we can be pretty sure is the pharaoh of the exodus, when the Israelites broke free from Egypt where they had been enslaved for more than 400 years. Most fascinating is the tantalizing possibility that we also find the mummified remains of the pharaoh’s son — the one who dies as a result of the last plague that God brought on the Egyptians.
At midnight the Lord struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on the throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner, who was in the dungeon, and the firstborn of all the livestock as well. Pharaoh and all his officials and all the Egyptians got up during the night, and there was loud wailing in Egypt, for there was not a house without someone dead. — Exodus 12:29-30
Leslie Stahl, the 83-year-old “See BS News” reporter, asks a heartless question of Jewish American Keith Siegel, a former Hamas hostage.
Unbelievable.
Leslie Stahl looks straight into the eyes of a Hamas hostage and ask him if Hamas really intended to starve him — or whether they just didn’t happen to have that much food. pic.twitter.com/VTUUb5IEYE
A former hostage accuses Hamas of starving him while he was a captive, and she immediately tries to undermine the credibility of his accusation by questioning whether Hamas really meant to starve him or were just forced to starve him because they themselves didn’t have any food, the poor babies.
Stahl asks this question in the face of the barbarities that Hamas committed during their attack on October 7, and the known fact that any supplies from the outside world, including food, always winds up in the hands of the terrorist organization.
While Siegel discussed how his captors treated him, he stated that after his wife, Aviva, was released from captivity, Hamas became “very mean and very cruel and violent.”
“They were beating me and starving me,” Siegel said. Stahl followed by asking, “Do you think they starved you because or they just didn’t have food?”
Siegel denied that his torturers didn’t have enough food, recounting, “No, I think they starved me, and they would often eat in front of me and not offer me food.”
To suggest that Hamas was itself starving and therefore they had no food to give and therefore they were innocent of his charges is Stahl’s effort to limit the reputational damage to Hamas. It also signals that “See BS News” stands with Hamas. “They’re really not that bad, are they? Isn’t it possible that they just didn’t have any food to give you? Let’s not be too hard on the darlings.”
