GOP opens edge on economy, crime ahead of midterms: POLL  

These leads for Republicans have numerically solidified since August.

https://abcnews.go.com/US/gop-opens-edge-economy-crime-ahead-midterms-poll/story  

Americans trust that Republicans would do a better job on a key set of issues, with across-the-board, double-digit edges on inflation, the economy, gas prices and crime, according to a new ABC News/Ipsos poll.  Inflation sees one of the larger gulfs – with 36% of Americans trusting the GOP and 21% trusting Democrats. Similar gaps exist around gas prices, with 36% of Americans trusting Republicans and 22% trusting Democrats, the poll shows.  Broadly considering the state of the economy, 36% of Americans trust Republicans to do a better job while 24% trust Democrats – a potentially grim tell for the left, who currently cling to razor-thin majorities in the House and Senate.  Regarding crime, a key closing issue for the GOP in the campaign cycle, Republicans also enjoy a solid advantage – with 35% of respondents trusting them over the 22% who put faith in the Democrats.

The big recession risk that no one is talking about

https://www.politico.com/news/2022/10/24/biden-finances-liz-truss-recession-00063012

President Joe Biden is cheering a record plunge in the federal budget deficit, but the numbers belie a troubling trend that could come back to haunt him: The cost of government debt is skyrocketing.

The Federal Reserve’s relentless campaign to crank up interest rates to kill the worst inflation in four decades is also driving up debt costs. The U.S. in the latest fiscal year spent more on interest payments than it did on veterans’ programs and food and nutrition services combined — $475 billion, a 35 percent increase. And the number is only expected to grow.

That could limit the government’s ability to respond if the economy tumbles into a recession, potentially throwing millions of Americans out of work, as many economists expect next year.

During recent downturns, Congress helped cushion the blow by flooding the economy with stimulus checks and other relief. But doing that now while inflation is raging — even if it were politically possible — would pile on even more debt and could rattle investors wary of policies that could stoke higher prices. That’s a lesson that outgoing British Prime Minister Liz Truss learned the hard way.

“Any more big additions to the deficit are really risky,” said Jason Furman, who served as chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under President Barack Obama. “We saw the U.K. heavily punished for that, and so I think that would be quite problematic.”

As a practical matter, it means government spending, from big agenda items to possible support for struggling households, would need to be offset with tax increases or spending cuts, not more borrowing, a colossal hurdle even when the president’s party controls both chambers of Congress. The midterm elections, now just weeks away, could give Republicans control of one or both houses of Congress, presenting another big roadblock for Biden.

White House officials said they don’t see cause for concern or for a change in the president’s fiscal policy stance. They said they don’t expect a recession, but if there is one, it would likely be mild.

Biden approval dips to 39% as Democrats brace for midterms, Reuters/Ipsos poll shows

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/biden-approval-dips-39-democrats-brace-midterms-reutersipsos-2022-10-25/

WASHINGTON, Oct 25 (Reuters) - President Joe Biden's approval rating edged closer to the lowest level of his presidency just two weeks before U.S. midterm elections that will shape the rest of this term, a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll completed on Tuesday found.

The two-day national poll found that 39% of Americans approve of Biden's job performance, a percentage point lower than a week earlier.

Biden's unpopularity is helping drive the view that Republicans will win control of the U.S. House of Representatives and possibly also the Senate on Nov. 8. Control of even one chamber of Congress would give Republicans the power to bring Biden's legislative agenda to a halt.

Republicans know that Biden is not responsible for inflation, so they're lying about it.  Here's part of the real story:

Lol... you still can't figure out who actually pays corporate taxes. It's just sad at this point. You may as well blame it on climate change. Makes about as much sense.

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Theyby

Theyby

A pronoun for a child with no gender identification. Coined by parents that are sensitive of their children being mislabeled a boy or a girl, despite their biological anatomy. By age 4, most children will understand where they are within the gender spectrum, serving this term to render them confused as to why the hell their parents called them a theyby.

Support for this term is driven largely by SJW crowds, the LGBTQ community and virtue-signaling of the Left. Left-leaning ideology emphasizes gender-neutral pronouns and believes humans can identify as any gender at any time based on emotion, rather than physical characteristics.

Co-worker: "When is your child due?"
Janet: "In two weeks!"
Co-worker: "Is it a boy or a girl?"
Janet: "Neither - it's a theyby!"
Co-worker: "A theyby? What is that? Does it have boy or girl parts?"
Janet: "That doesn't matter! They will be whomever they decide to be!"
Co-worker: "....huh?"

Biden threatens higher taxes on oil companies if they do not work to lower gas prices

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/10/31/joe-biden-threatens-higher-taxes-on-oil-companies-amid-high-gas-prices.html

Any new taxes on oil profits would need congressional approval, which may prove difficult as Democrats control both chambers of Congress by slim margins. Progressives like Senators Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts previously floated the idea.

Biden on California rescue mission as House Democrats falter

https://apnews.com/article/2022-midterm-elections-biden-california-6a7fd5553819a47a265ae1214c078ef7

OCEANSIDE, Calif. (AP) — In an urgent plea as his party faces the potential loss of House and Senate control, President Joe Biden asked voters Thursday to go to the polls to support Democratic candidates, warning that a Republican Congress would reshape America by cutting back on health care and threatening abortion rights and retirement security.

Speaking in San Diego County, California, at an evening rally in support of endangered Democratic Rep. Mike Levin, the president said the outcome of the election would “determine the direction of the country for at least a decade or more.”

“This is a choice ... between two fundamentally different versions of America,” Biden said.

Biden’s appearance marked his second trip to California in less than three weeks in hopes of bolstering Democratic House members imperiled by fallout from $7-a-gallon gas, worrisome crime rates and spiking prices on everything from onions to ground beef.

The president’s return to heavily Democratic California in the run-up to Election Day speaks to the looming threat for his party in a turbulent midterm election year when Republicans appear poised to take control of the House, a grim prospect for Biden heading into the second half of his term.

He said Levin “delivers. He lowers costs for families, caring for our veterans protecting the environment.”

Biden was in a neighboring coastal district last month on behalf of another endangered Southern California Democrat, Rep. Katie Porter, a star of the party’s progressive wing. The Levin and Porter contests are among about a dozen congressional races in California considered competitive — a handful are seen a toss-ups and are viewed by both parties as critical to control of the House.

“If Democrats are scratching and clawing to hang on to districts Biden carried by double digits, they have likely already lost the House,” said David Wasserman, an analyst with the Cook Political Report.

Levin defended his seat with a 6-point win in 2020, and the district remained largely intact after the once-a-decade adjustment of boundary lines after the census. This year, his race is considered a toss-up as Levin and other Democrats face historical midterm headwinds that typically punish the party in the White House, while soaring prices at the supermarket and gas pump have conspired to make once-safe incumbents vulnerable.

Democrats are being forced to play defense, even in a famously liberal state that then-President Donald Trump lost by over 5 million votes in 2020. Biden’s sagging approval rating is creating a drag on Democratic candidates generally, although voter surveys indicate he’s stronger in California than the nation as a whole.

“Even in areas where President Biden won by a strong margin, we’re seeing an unfortunate shift,” Porter wrote in a fundraising pitch Tuesday. “Republicans are polling well across the country and we’re seeing especially concerning trends in blue states like California.”

Levin told the crowd, “I need your help,” and called on supporters to make phone calls and knock on doors of wavering voters.

Democracy, Levin warned, is “on the ballot.”

Levin’s Republican opponent, businessman Brian Maryott, said Biden’s visit amounted to “a failed president coming to our district to stand alongside a failed congressman.”

“Voters won’t forget $7 gas prices, the explosion in crime, inflation hitting 40-year highs, the crisis at our border,” Maryott said in a statement.

Biden’s visit does carry some risk — a protest was planned nearby. And it’s an open question how much good Biden can do to motivate voters in the late days of a midterm election, when turnout falls off sharply from presidential election years.

California is dominated by Democrats who hold every statewide office and commanding margins in the Legislature and congressional delegation. Registered Democrats outnumber Republicans by nearly 2-to-1 statewide, and a GOP candidate hasn’t won a statewide race since 2006.

But this year is confounding political norms.

There is no competitive race at the top of the ticket to drive Democratic voter turnout — Gov. Gavin Newsom and U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla, both Democrats, face only token opposition. And with Democrats firmly in control of California government, the party can’t escape blame for grievances that range from an unchecked homeless crisis, $80 fill-ups at the gas station and some of the nation’s highest taxes.

In Levin’s district, voters were sharply divided about the contest, mirroring the nation’s deep partisan chasm.

Steve Barrett, a 68-year-old retired aerospace sales engineer from Dana Point, said he considers himself a moderate Republican and will be voting for Maryott.

He said he doesn’t always vote solely Republican but feels Levin is a “big spender and taxer” and that the Democrats overall are spending too much, which inevitably will lead to tax increases.

Donna Drysdale, a 73-year-old retired court reporter and photographer from San Juan Capistrano, described herself as a middle-of-the-road Democrat and said she was solidly behind Levin.

Drysdale said she feels many Republicans aren’t being reasonable and the country needs intelligent candidates with problem-solving skills to address climate change, threats to democracy and other critical issues.

“I’m scared to death that if the Republicans take over, things are going to continue to go downhill in this country, as far as the division between the two parties,” she said.

A recent voter survey shows pessimism about the economy and the direction of the country, a potential benefit for Republicans in the election’s closing days, though it shows Californians are less pessimistic about the direction of the state.

The October survey by the Public Policy Institute of California found that 71% of likely voters say the U.S. is on the wrong track, and 54% of likely voters think the state is headed in the wrong direction. When asked about the nation’s economy, 76% of likely voters said it was either “poor” or “not so good.”

The dicey situation for Democrats also could help Republican incumbents in Democratic-leaning districts, including GOP Reps. Mike Garcia north of Los Angeles, Michelle Steel in a district anchored in Orange County and David Valadao in the Central Valley, one of just two House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump and managed to make it to the general election.

Porter, a prolific fundraiser often mentioned as a likely future Senate candidate, has spent $24 million on her race, a stunning sum. While her district is about evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans, it has a conservative streak that benefits her GOP challenger, former legislator Scott Baugh, making the race especially tight.

Democrats now hold a 220-212 edge over Republicans in the U.S. House, with three vacancies. To have a majority requires 218 seats.

Ferreting out wavering voters and getting them to the polls “wins elections, and if we don’t turn out enough voters, we risk losing this seat,” Miguel Lopez, a campaign staffer for Rep. Julia Brownley, another endangered Democrat in a district northwest of Los Angeles, wrote in an email.

Btw... I can't wait for your court jester to post another vacuous nothing.

You must all agree with his spam cartooning. You don't have the guts to check him.

Therefore you concede that it's your only option. Spam, spam, demean, dehumanize... etc.

Anything that you can rationalize to ignore the simple facts of the matter at hand.

The leftist progressive agenda dating back to the early 20's is evil and socialist. It already was.

From Sanger's eugenics movement... to segregation... to Jim crow... to the modern pp.

You fuckers ought to take a good look at yourselves. You've bought into the devil. And no... I'm not religious.

But evil isn't necessarily religious. Choosing the wrong side of righteousness is. You ought to be ashamed.

How can you justify killing a baby moments before birth? You can't. There's something evil involved. Admit it.
