Daily Broadside | American Citizens Are Now Under Siege

After yesterday’s warning about foreigners who are here illegally—you know, illegal aliens—being given the right to carry a gun by a woke Illinois judge, I’ve got one more reason you should buckle up and prepare for the inevitable.

A friend shared this with me yesterday, and I’ve seen it making the rounds. Listen to the whole thing.

Just listen to that entitled, excited arrogance. How long will it be before illegals with guns decide that taking over an empty house isn’t enough, or that they and their gang member friends want your house in addition to the one they’re squatting in?

They’re doing to our country what they’re doing to our stores and homes. Smash and grab, steal and destroy. Why, it’s almost as if they have no respect for their host country, the place where these poor, malnourished, destitute, innocent journeymen who are just looking for a better life have illegally come.

Daily Broadside | Texas Can Arrest Illegals But Illinois Judge Rules Illegals Can Carry Guns

Sorry I missed yesterday. Went to bed early with a headache.

Tuesday was Illinois’ primary voting day, so the missus and I carried out our civic duty. I was disappointed in the turnout … our voting precinct location was super quiet around 5:30 PM. I suppose there could have been more voters that came after work, but there was no line, no wait while we were there.

Empty.

I guess if the result is a foregone conclusion, voters aren’t motivated to show up. I vote as a matter of principle. Exercise your right to vote, just like you exercise your muscles.

Two really interesting developments concerning illegal aliens flooding our country. First, the US Supreme Court rescinded its stay on a Texas law that provides for the arrest and deportation of illegal aliens.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday lifted its freeze of a Texas immigration law which allows state and local law enforcement to arrest illegal immigrants and empowers state judges to deport them.

The Court’s six conservative justices dismissed the Biden administration’s emergency appeal, allowing the law to remain in effect while the issue is adjudicated by lower courts. The majority did not explain its reasoning, as is typical, but Justice Amy Coney Barrett, joined by Justice Brett Kavanaugh, issued a concurring opinion explaining that Texas should be allowed to enforce its law until a lower court definitively strikes it down.

Note that the case has not been decided yet. This ruling was about whether the Texas law can continue to operate while the case is decided. It can, which means that Texas will begin to enforce its new law against illegal immigration.

Good.

Second, an astonishing ruling from a federal judge appointed by Obammy in (*ahem*) Illinois gives illegal immigrants the right to carry guns. I repeat: foreigners who are in this country illegally, who have no business being here, are allowed to carry.

A federal judge in Illinois has found that the Constitution protects the gun rights of noncitizens who enter the United States illegally.

U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman on Friday ruled that a federal prohibition on illegal immigrants owning firearms is unconstitutional as applied to defendant Heriberto Carbajal-Flores. The court found that while the federal ban is “facially constitutional,” there is no historical tradition of firearm regulation that permits the government to deprive a noncitizen who has never been convicted of a violent crime from exercising his Second Amendment rights.

“The noncitizen possession statute … violates the Second Amendment as applied to Carbajal-Flores,” the judge wrote. “Thus, the Court grants Carbajal-Flores’ motion to dismiss.”

Coleman, a President Obama appointee, cited the landmark Supreme Court decision in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen (2022), which established a new standard to determine whether a law violates the Second Amendment. Since Bruen, a multitude of federal and state gun control measures have been challenged in courts with mixed results. 

The “new standard” referred to is that the government must show that each regulation “is consistent with this nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.” This gets a little complicated, because there is federal law that prohibits noncitizens who are illegally here from possessing a firearm.

Carbajal-Flores is an illegal immigrant who, on June 1, 2020, was found to be in possession of a handgun in the Little Village neighborhood of Chicago. He was subsequently charged with violating a federal law that prohibits any noncitizen who is not legally authorized to be in the U.S. from “possess[ing] in or affecting commerce, any firearm or ammunition; or to receive any firearm or ammunition which has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce.” 

In an April 2022 decision, Coleman denied Carbajal-Flores’ first motion to dismiss his indictment, finding that the ban was constitutional. However, Carbajal-Flores asked the court to reconsider that ruling following the Supreme Court’s decision in Bruen and appellate decisions in the Third and Seventh circuits that considered whether people convicted of nonviolent crimes can be prohibited from possessing firearms.

Basically, the foreigner here illegally is challenging what he and his lawyers consider a conflict between the federal law prohibiting possession of a gun, and the “new standard” that SCOTUS created to determine whether a law violates the Second Amendment.

I am not a lawyer and I don’t play one on TV, so while this decision makes no sense to me on the surface, there are likely legal subtleties that are playing out under the surface.

For instance, how is someone who is violating our law with their very presence here somehow covered by the US Constitution, which was written by and for US citizens?

If illegals can carry guns, what does that mean for the 10 million illegals that have poured over our southern border over the last three years of the treacherous Brandon administration?

The article didn’t say whether Carbajal-Flores had concealed-carry license. If he didn’t, why do Illinois citizens have to have one? If he did, how did he get one if he’s an illegal alien?

From my go-to newspaper, The Epoch Times:

The ruling drew a range of reactions from people in the legal community.

“Supreme Court has said the ‘people’ are members of the political community,” Larry Keane, a lawyer for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, wrote on X. “Illegal aliens in US are not part of the political community and thus do not have 2A rights.”

Kostas Moros, a lawyer who represents the California Rifle and Pistol Association, said that he also saw the issue that way.

“Bruen asks for a historical tradition of modern regulation that justifies the modern law, and one plainly exists here,” he wrote, noting that groups that have been disarmed in the past, including loyalists, have the common thread of being “outside of the political community.”

What gobsmacks me is that the judge considers the new standard to overrule the clear language of the federal law prohibiting possession by illegals. We have a group of activist judges who are making novel rulings that violate the letter and the spirit of the law.

This ruling is particularly troubling because of news like this:

The leader of a notorious street gang that has been terrorizing business owners and residents in Colombia’s capital was arrested earlier this week in Texas, where he was seeking asylum.

Venezuelan national Aderbiss Pirela was taken into custody by federal and local agents in New Braunfels, outside San Antonio, on Tuesday, Homeland Securities Investigations confirmed Wednesday. 

Pirela, according to Colombian authorities, is the second-in-command of ‘Los Satanás,’ and was one of the seven most wanted murderers in Bogotá. 

My recommendation is that you haven’t yet, arm yourself and buy ammo—lots of ammo.

And don’t forget that the muttonhead and his cabal in the White House are the ones who have done this to us.

Daily Broadside | Legacy Media Seizes On Trump “Bloodbath” Comments in Act of Journalistic Sabotage

If you weren’t convinced that the “mainstream” media is your mortal enemy, this should put all questions to rest.

On Friday Trump was in Ohio talking about China building automobile manufacturing plants in Mexico, and planning to sell the vehicles in the United States. He frames his comments as being for Chinese president Xi and says, “we’re gonna put a 100 percent tariff on every single car that comes across the line, and you’re not going to be able to sell those [cars].”

He immediately follows that with, “if I get elected,” meaning that his plan will only happen if he wins the presidency back this fall.

Then, as Trump is wont to do, he speaks in hyperbole, saying, “Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath, for the whole—that’s going to be the least of it. It’s gonna be a bloodbath for the country, that’ll be the least of it. But they’re not going to sell those cars” and he continues to talk about the factories being built in Mexico.

It’s clear that the former president’s comment about a “bloodbath” are part of his commentary about Chinese car manufacturing plants in Mexico. But what do the journalistic rags take as the lede?

Makes for a great headline, doesn’t it? Note that the lede isn’t “Trump says he will place a 100 percent tariff on cars coming from Mexico if elected.” Yawn.

The Wall Street Journal at least had the integrity to put Trump’s comments in context.

But the legacy media, the stenographers for the Democrats, took his “bloodbath” comments and made that the lede, insinuating that Trump is threatening or predicting violence if he isn’t elected. It’s all part of the grand effort to sabotage Trump in the eyes of the public, an ongoing campaign of misinformation and disinformation.

There are some good news outlets that can be trusted, like The Epoch Times, which handled the controversy as good reporting should.

Besides, it isn’t as if the media isn’t familiar with the term bloodbath.

You have good reason to distrust the media.

And you should.

Daily Broadside | Elderly Man With Poor Memory Crowned Democrat Nominee

The stair-tripping, mumble-slurring, stage-wandering, shambolic disgrace that is our so-called “president” has apparently been crowned—again—by the degenerates on the Left as their standard-bearer come November 2024.

[So-called] President Joe Biden on March 12 secured the Democratic nomination after an overwhelming win in swing-state Georgia, as his rival former President Donald Trump appears likely to clinch the Republican nomination when several primaries are called later this evening.

President Trump also easily won the Georgia Republican primary on Tuesday, according to a projection by the Associated Press. The Peach State allocates 59 Republican delegates.

“I am honored that the broad coalition of voters representing the rich diversity of the Democratic Party across the country have put their faith in me once again to lead our party—and our country—in a moment when the threat Trump poses is greater than ever,” President Biden said in a statement shared by the White House upon his becoming the presumptive Democratic Party’s nominee.

“Threat.” This from a pathetic dictator wannabe who fronts B. Hussein Obama’s third term and has made the US the laughing stock of the world.

If we lived in anything resembling a free constitutional republic, he’d be tossed to the curb by a landslide come November 5. But because we live in “muh democracy!” that resembles Alice’s upside down and backwards Wonderland, the only way to beat this imposter is to vote in such numbers that the margin of victory is too great for the anti-Americans to cheat like they did in 2020.

Good luck with that.

Trump has also been declared the presumptive nominee for the Republican ticket, setting up the most anticipated—and reviled—rematch of the new century.

Former President Trump is officially the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.

Trump clinched his party’s 2024 nomination Tuesday when Georgia, Mississippi and Washington state held primaries.

With no major challengers left, both Trump and [so-called “president”] Biden, who locked up his party’s nomination earlier in the evening, were on course to collect all or nearly all the delegates up for grabs in Tuesday’s contests, putting each of them over the top and making them the Democratic and Republican presumptive presidential nominees.

Patriots and conservatives, along with like-minded Republicans, face headwinds from half the country who hate them, along with groups like this one that plans to take out $50 million in ads opposing Trump (paywall).

A Republican group dedicated to opposing former President Donald J. Trump is planning to spend $50 million to stop him through a series of homemade testimonial videos of voters who backed him in past elections but say they can no longer support him in 2024.

The group, Republican Voters Against Trump, first emerged in the 2020 campaign and made a return appearance for the 2022 midterm elections. It is run by Sarah Longwell, a leading figure in Never-Trump politics whose focus groups and polling are a staple of center-right podcasts and have made her a go-to figure for political reporters aiming to decipher the motivations behind Trump supporters.

She’s not “center-right” but, hey, it’s a free country. You can support or oppose whoever you want. But don’t try to sell me on how principled you are compared to me. If you’re trying to damage Trump you are actively aiding and abetting the Democrats in their quest to destroy America, and that puts you squarely in the “anti-America” camp. And the big grifters camp. And the David French camp.

We have exactly one chance to get this right. As Benjamin Franklin (may have) said at the signing of the Declaration of Independence, “We must all hang together, or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately.”

These clowns want us to all hang seperately.

Daily Broadside | With Republicans Like These, Who Needs Democrats?

Wait long enough and the truth starts to leak out.

A previously hidden transcript of an interview conducted by a U.S. House of Representatives panel that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol has been revealed, undermining a committee claim.

Anthony Ornato, who was the White House deputy chief of staff during the breach, told the committee that he overheard Mark Meadows, who was then chief of staff, on the phone with Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser. According to the transcript, Mr. Meadows wanted to ensure Ms. Bowser “had everything she needed.”

Mr. Meadows “wanted to know if she need[ed] any more guardsmen,” Mr. Ornato testified. “And I remember the number 10,000 coming up of, ‘The president wants to make sure that you have enough.’ You know, ‘He is willing to ask for 10,000.’ I remember that number. Now that you said it, it reminded me of it.”

Ms. Bowser said that “she was all set,” Mr. Ornato recalled.

Mr. Ornato was speaking on Jan. 28, 2022, to the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.

The committee said in its final report that it “found no evidence” supporting the idea that former President Donald Trump ordered 10,000 troops to be ready for Jan. 6.

“The former J6 Select Committee apparently withheld Mr. Ornato’s critical witness testimony from the American people because it contradicted their pre-determined narrative,” Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), who released the transcript, said in a statement.

“Mr. Ornato’s testimony proves what Mr. Meadows has said all along, President Trump did in fact offer 10,000 National Guard troops to secure the U.S. Capitol, which was turned down,” Mr. Loudermilk, the chairman of the House Administration Committee’s Subcommittee on Oversight, added.

Speaking to Fox News, Mr. Meadows previously said, “As many as 10,000 National Guard troops were told to be on the ready by the secretary of defense. That was a direct order from President Trump.”

You know who was on the J6 committee? Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, two of the most cowardly, traitorous RINOed Republicans that exist.

From Fox News:

Ornato’s interview was conducted in January 2022 and attended by Cheney, among other members on the committee. In addition to serving as deputy chief of staff under Trump, Ornato served in the Secret Service for decades.

The committee, which included seven Democrats and two now-former Republican Congress members, Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, concluded that it found “no evidence” that the Trump administration called for 10,000 National Guard members to Washington, D.C., to protect the Capitol.

Cheney and Kinzinger LIED to us. They were part and parcel of railroading Trump. They deserved getting kicked out of Congress. With Democrats beating us over the heads and stabbing us in the back, who needs anyone on “our” side who acts like a Democrat?

As more evidence emerges, it’s clear that J6 was a set up and the people arrested and kept in solitary in the Garland Archipelago and then sentenced to outrageous jail terms are victims of a miscarriage of justice in the service of evil political ends.

You can’t trust the government, and you especially can’t trust Democrats. Democrats must be banned from participation in our political life. That includes Cheney and Kinzinger.

Daily Broadside | Illegal Aliens Will Be Counted in the Census and Swing Power to the Democrats

I wrote Friday about an outrageous and frankly, illegal, criminal scheme that the Democrats are engaged in: flying illegal foreigners directly into the United States of America and depositing them in 43 different cities. Some 320,000 illegals, who have no legal right to enter the United States, have been secretly flown in by the Democrats since late 2022.

Here’s why they’re doing it, and you should be outraged.

Most Americans do not know that the US census currently counts, for purposes of voting power, all people in a district, regardless of citizenship! Senate Democrats just voted unanimously to defeat an amendment that would have stopped counting illegals for congressional seat apportionment and electoral college (presidential) votes. Since illegals are mostly in Democrat states, both the House and the Presidential vote are shifted ~5% to the left, which is enough to change the entire balance of power! This is a major reason why the Biden administration is ushering in record levels of illegals and doing so few deportations.

Democrat traitors are making a power grab that will give them permanent electoral power. This is how Tucker Carlson describes the scheme:

  • Fact 1: 22 million illegal aliens in the US (I personally think it’s much, much higher).
  • Fact 2: Democrats are calling for the legalization of all illegals in the country with citizenship voting rights.
  • Fact 3: The overwhelming majority of first time immigrant voters vote Democrat.
  • Fact 4: The largest margin in US presidential history was 17 million votes.

In other words, historically conservative, traditional Americans will be subject to the Democrats’ radical policies, as we already are in much of the country. But it will get worse: we will be dispossessed of anything resembling our current freedoms, rights and citizenship if we oppose our rulers.

What we are experiencing is a silent coup d’état or a silent putsch, an overthrow of the current structure of governmental power, largely out of sight, and it is being executed by literal traitors in our government.

“If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”

Winston churchill

I’m afraid we’re past the first two and quickly moving through the third. Trump, should he win in November, may grant us a moment’s relief, but we are looking at perhaps being confronted with that last option.

Daily Broadside | White House Occupant Secretly Flying Illegal Aliens Directly Into US From Foreign Countries

A word about last night’s “State of the Union” address. I didn’t watch it due to a prior commitment. But everything I’ve read about it fits Biden’s MO. Todd Starnes labeled it a “rage speech.” Biden blamed everyone but himself for the sorry state of our disunion. He lashed out at Republicans. He threatened to make abortion rights the law of the land. He lied about how many jobs he’s created. He lied about how much of deficit cutter he is. He lied about Republicans wanting to cut Social Security. He lied about the SCOTUS Dobbs decision paving the way for Alabama’s state supreme court decision on in vitro fertilization. He flubbed Laken Riley’s name.

If that charade wasn’t enough to fry your bacon, I promised you a post that would. Here it is:

Brandon — the Dimwit in Diapers, the Geriatric Jerk, the head of the Biden Crime Family — is known for blaming Republicans, the State of Texas, a broken “system,” a lack of money, and President-in-Exile Donald Trump, for his “inability” to “fix” the southern “border” crisis.

All are lies, of course.

On his first day in office, Roomba Joe targeted Trump’s immigration policies for reversals, including reissuing protections established under DACA, stopping the $16 billion wall and rolling back immigration enforcement. In his first year in office, “[o]f Biden’s 296 immigration actions, 89 […] reversed or started to undo Trump policies, making clear the administration is doing more than unraveling his predecessor’s policies.”

More than 10 million foreigners have illegally infiltrated the United States since the Meatpuppet was installed in the White House as the result of a fixed election. Worse, it’s not that our border is overwhelmed by the sheer number of foreigners illegally walking, climbing, crawling, or scaling their way into the country, although it is. It’s that the miscreant in the oval office is making it as easy as possible for foreigners to skirt laws by flying them directly from their countries of origin to the city of their choice in the United States.

Efforts by open-border Democrats to blame the growing big-city migrant crisis on Texas and its program of busing illegal immigrants north are being upstaged by a new investigation showing that [so-called] President Joe Biden has secretly flown hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants from Latin American airports to 43 U.S. cities.

The unusual program, kept from the public, involved at least 320,000 illegal immigrants the administration admits are “inadmissible” immigrants, far more than previously reported.

Despite facing a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit from the Center for Immigration Studies, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection has refused to identify the 43 airports it is dumping immigrants at after direct flights from Latin America.

Do you understand what’s happening? This is CRIMINAL CONDUCT. Biden and his administration are engaged in a criminal enterprise of flooding our country with foreigners who have no business whatsoever being here.

“The program at the center of the FOIA litigation is perhaps the most enigmatic and least-known of the Biden administration’s uses of the CBP One cellphone scheduling app, even though it is responsible for almost invisibly importing by air 320,000 aliens with no legal right to enter the United States since it got underway in late 2022,” said Todd Bensman, the report’s author.

“Under these legally dubious parole programs, aliens who cannot legally enter the country use the CBP One app to apply for travel authorization and temporary humanitarian release from those airports. The parole program allows for two-year periods of legal status during which adults are eligible for work authorization,” he wrote.

In just 2023 they flew 320,000 illegals into the U.S. But that’s not all.

The direct flight program is in addition to another one that gives CBP One users a green light into the U.S. That program, the report said, “has brought in another 420,000 immigrants from nearly 100 nations from May 2021 through December 2023.”

These criminal executives are subverting law and order, the social contract, and the U.S. Constitution. They’re acting like a cartel engaged in human smuggling. This isn’t just an impeachable offence; it’s treason.

The miscreant in the oval office is illegally flying foreigners directly from their countries of origin to the city of their choice in the United States.

Coming to the United States involves a long, difficult, strenuous, expensive and dangerous journey for most aliens. The Atlantic and Pacific Oceans provide natural barriers on either end of the country, with the Atlantic wrapping around the southeast into the Gulf of Mexico. The only border we have on the south is with Mexico, which does nothing to prevent illegals from walking up through their country to our border.

And now we have a chief executive who was sworn to defend the U.S. Constitution from its enemies—both foreign and domestic—abusing the power of his office to carry out an unconstitutional, oath-breaking attack on the citizens he was sworn to protect.

He should be arrested, tried and sentenced to life in prison (or worse), along with the other criminals in his administration.

How long will we stand this assault on our country?

Have a good weekend.

Daily Broadside | We All Know Biden Didn’t Win in 2020. Here’s More Evidence

I was planning to write about something else but I go off on a tangent here. I’ll offer it up tomorrow and I guarantee it will have you seeing red. It will leave you gobsmacked.

Tricky Nikki dropped out of the presidential race yesterday, leaving the field to Trump. She left the contest without endorsing the presumptive nominee, although she did wish him well. As Ace said, “Her pointless Ego Ride is over.”

Now that that is out of the way, let’s focus on turning out the vote so that it’s not close enough to cheat. Speaking of which, Rassmussen Reports posted on X yesterday that “Joe Biden didn’t ‘win’ Georgia in Nov 2020” because they DIDN’T DO ANY SIGNATURE VERIFICATION. None.

They didn’t use the signature verification machines in Fulton County, GA, nor in Maricope County, AZ, where officials DID NOT VERIFY 1.9 MILLION SIGNATURES.

Trump won the 2020 election; we know it, they know it, and yet “they” pointed at all the judges who refused to take any of the cases and said, “See! Even ‘Trump’ judges are refusing to take the cases.” The whole system is fraudulent.

What could have been.

Daily Broadside | Super Tuesday Goes To Trump And Occupant of White House

No big surprises here.

Trump wins everything except Vermont, while Utah hasn’t been called yet as I put this post to bed (along with me). Haley should be dropping out shortly.

The one surprising and (slightly) hopeful development is that California Republican Steve Garvey (former Major League Baseball player) wins in the jungle primary (usually it’s two Democrats running for the seat). The downside is that it’s likely that the Dems pushed Garvey over the line so that it’ll be a clear decision in November: Democrat v. Republican, and therefore an easier win for Schiff-for-Brains.

Tomorrow’s post will get your blood boiling.

Promise.

Daily Broadside | Per Curiam, Baby! U.S. Supreme Court Unanimously Slaps Colorado Silly

SCOTUS rules 9-0 that Colorado can’t remove Trump from their ballot, no matter what Colorado’s Supreme Court says.

The Supreme Court ruled on March 4 that former President Donald Trump can’t be removed from the ballot by individual states, overturning the Colorado Supreme Court decision that found him ineligible as a candidate and disqualified from the state ballot under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.

“Responsibility for enforcing Section 3 against federal officeholders and candidates rests with Congress and not the States. The judgment of the Colorado Supreme Court therefore cannot stand,” the per curiam order reads. “All nine Members of the Court agree with that result.”

This was not a “partisan” Supreme Court decision, with the liberal justices taking one side and the other justices taking the other. All nine of them agreed that Colorado doesn’t have the authority to remove Trump from the ballot based on Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment.

“Because the Constitution makes Congress, rather than the States, responsible for enforcing Section 3 against federal officeholders and candidates, we reverse.”

Ed Morrisey at Hot Air says the nine justices wanted to make this stick, and quotes Associate Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s separate concurrence that makes that point:

She emphasizes, however, that the real story here is their unanimity in regard to state action on Section 3:

Particularly in this circumstance, writings on the Court should turn the national temperature down, not up. For present purposes, our differences are far less important than our unanimity: All nine Justices agree on the outcome of this case. That is the message Americans should take home.

So Trump remains on the ballot in all 50 states and that is important particularly today — Super Tuesday. Trump won the North Dakota Republican caucus last night. Today’s contests cross these states: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, and American Samoa.

New polls show that Trump is outperforming Biden. Fox News shows Trump leading Biden “in a potential rematch, the survey finds Trump receives 49% support while Biden gets 47%.  That’s pretty much where it’s been since September.  Trump’s advantage is within the margin of sampling error.”

At National Review, Rich Lowry asks a rhetorical question: “How is this survivable [for Biden]?”

That’s a rhetorical question. There are ways it could be survivable, but this finding in the new Fox News poll has to be the most disturbing result from the new bout of general-election polling. Besides the public’s belief that Biden is too old to serve again, 48 percent said that Biden’s policies are hurting them and their families, and only 25 percent said they are helping — whereas 45 percent said Trump’s policies helped and 32 percent said they hurt.

The latest CBS News / YouGov poll agrees:

As Super Tuesday makes an historic rematch all but official, voters are comparing not just two presidents, but two presidencies. 

And right now former President Donald Trump emerges from that comparison as the frontrunner. He leads President Biden by four points nationally, his largest lead to date. Here’s why:

Voters recall the economy under Trump more fondly than they rate the economy now. 

While neither gets great marks, voters today look back on Trump’s presidency with relatively better retrospective ratings than they’d rate Joe Biden’s presidency so far. 

And in a New York Times/Siena College poll, Trump leads Haley “77%-20% among registered GOP primary voters when asked which candidate they’d be most likely to vote for if the election for the Republican nominee for president were held today. The former president also has a strong lead over Haley – 76.9%-14.5% – in FiveThirtyEight’s Republican primary polling average as of March 4. Biden, meanwhile, was down 43%-48% against Trump with regard to the likely November matchup, according to the Times/Siena poll.”

This is the same feel I got watching Trump in 2020; the momentum was there, the energy was there, the voters were there. But our domestic enemies were “fortifying the election” and if you don’t think they’re making plans for November, you haven’t been paying attention, because their plans include all of the election interference we’re watching as ridiculous lawfare suits are slapped on Trump and his associates.

That’s why the SCOTUS decision yesterday was a breath of fresh air. Unfortunately, Coney Barrett’s entreaty to turn down the national temperature will go unheeded by the Left.
