Only 34% Say Country on Right Track; 56% Can’t Trust News

Only 34 percent of likely voters believe the United States is headed in the right direction, according to a new Rasmussen survey, and 56 percent say they don’t find the media delivers accurate news.

Rasmussen keeps weekly track of how voters feel regarding the direction of the country. This week’s report is up one point from last week, but it is up by three points from a year ago, when 31 percent of poll respondents thought the country was on the right track. Sixty-one percent of likely voters polled recently said the nation is headed in the wrong direction.

A separate survey revealed only 16 percent of respondents think it is easier to find news they can trust, and 25 percent think media accuracy is “about the same.”

But beyond those numbers, things get interesting socially and politically.

According to Rasmussen, 30 percent said Fox News “is the cable TV news channel they are most likely to trust.” Coming in second place at 23 percent is CNN, while MSNBC and Newsmax are tied at 15 percent.

“Among those who say they trust cable news for political news, most name either Fox News (38%) or CNN (29%) as the most trusted channel,” Rasmussen said.

Perhaps not surprisingly, among Democrats, 40 percent say CNN is their most trusted news source, followed by MSNBC at 26 percent and Vox News at 16 percent. On the flip side, 46 percent of Republicans prefer Fox News, followed by Newsmax at 26 percent and CNN at a pitiful 11 percent.

An impressive 68 percent of Democrats say their most trusted source for political news is either network television or major cable news channels, Rasmussen discovered. Among Republicans, network trust shrinks to 51 percent and among Independents, only 39 percent depend upon networks or cable news channels.

Among Independent voters, 45 percent trust independent online news sources for political news, along with 34 percent of Republicans and 22 percent of Democrats, according to Rasmussen.

Interestingly, more men (33%) than women (26%) say they trust Fox News most, while more women (17%) than men (12%) “prefer MSNBC.”

Walz’s Interview With ‘The View’ May Have Revealed More Than He Intended

Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz was asked another softball question about gun ownership and the Second Amendment on Monday, this time from the hosts of The View. While most of Walz’s answer was nothing more than a regurgitation of his campaign talking points claiming that gun owners have nothing to fear from the candidate who previously supported banning handguns and declared the Supreme Court shouldn’t find that the Second Amendment protects an individual right, one jab at Donald Trump highlighted the draconian stance that the Harris/Walz ticket has taken on who, exactly, possesses the right to keep and bear arms.

Walz made one more shady dig at his Republican opponent Donald Trump, telling the co-hosts, “The Republican nominee can’t pass a background check to get a gun,” referring to Trump getting convicted on 34 felony counts in his hush money trial early this year.

“We understand the Second Amendment and lawful gun owners, folks who have been doing this for 50 years like I have, we understand that there’s not a single thing that we’re proposing that takes away your right to be able to own that firearm, to be able to have it in your possession,” he continued. “But it does go a long ways to making sure that folks who shouldn’t have it, don’t have it.”

Clearly Walz believes that Trump’s felony convictions for the non-violent crime of falsifying business records should prevent him from lawfully possessing a firearm, though the Minnesota governor still believes felons should be able to cast a vote. Just last year Walz signed a bill allowing felons to have their voting rights restored after they complete their sentence, though their ability to legally own a firearm is still prohibited under Minnesota law.

Walz’s stance is right in line with Biden/Harri’s DOJ, which has argued that a lifetime prohibition on gun ownership is entirely appropriate for anyone convicted of a felony or criminal offense punishable by more than a year in prison, even non-violent crimes. That argument has its share of critics, however, including multiple judges on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, which seems poised to once again rule in favor of a Pennsylvania man seeking to get his 2A rights restored almost 30 years after he pled guilty and received probation for falsifying his income on a food stamp application.

The Third Circuit previously ruled in favor of Bryan Range, but the Supreme Court remanded the case back to the appellate court after it issued the Rahimi decision. The appellate court held oral arguments in the Range case for a second time earlier this month, and the panel seemed skeptical of DOJ attorney Kevin Soter’s position that only “serious crimes” result in a lifetime loss of the right to keep and bear arms.

Desperate Gun Controllers Launch Astroturf ‘Hunters & Anglers for Harris’

Brady, you might recall, was called the National Council to Control Handguns when it was formed 50 years ago. In 1980 it changed its name to Handgun Control, Inc. and partnered with the National Coalition to Ban Handguns in an attempt to enact handgun bans at the local, state, and eventually, national level.

It’s a sign of how much progress Second Amendment supporters have made over the decades that groups like Brady now try to pretend they ever advocated for a complete ban on handguns, and “proudly support” professed gun owners like Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. But while their stated goals may have shifted over the years, Brady only seems to be okay with gun ownership when it might help their favored candidates win election.

Which brings us to Hunters and Anglers for Harris-Walz. If you visit the astroturf group’s website, you’ll immediately notice a few oddities. Who’s in charge of the group? There’s no way to tell. What policies does the organization support? They don’t say. There are only three links on the website; one to make a donation, one to shop at the Harris-Walz campaign store, and the last to “add your name in support”. When you click on the third link, you’re taken to a page where you’re asked to give your name, phone number, and address as well as the opportunity to sign an “Open Letter from Hunters and Anglers for Harris-Walz” that doesn’t mention the Second Amendment at all. 

Friends – 

As hunters, anglers, and stewards of America’s natural resources, we understand the deep connection between the land, the water, and our way of life. We know that preserving the beauty and bounty of our outdoors is essential not just for us, but for future generations of sportsmen and sportswomen.

Kamala Harris has consistently demonstrated a strong commitment to conserving our landscapes, recognizing the critical role it plays in our nation’s well-being. Her work to protect our public lands, combat climate change, and promote clean energy while balancing the needs for wildlife reflects her dedication to ensuring that the outdoor experiences we cherish remain accessible and sustainable for all Americans. As Vice President, Kamala Harris helped open an additional 2 million acres of public land for hunting and fishing.

Tim Walz, as a lifelong hunter, and angler, has spent more time in the field than anyone running on a presidential ticket since Teddy Roosevelt. In Congress, he was a dedicated member of the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation and remains a tireless advocate for conservation and the outdoor traditions we hold dear. His leadership in preserving hunting and fishing rights, promoting habitat conservation and restoration, and supporting responsible wildlife management underscores his commitment to our community.      

Together, Harris and Walz offer a vision of America that honors our outdoor heritage while addressing the conservation challenges that will determine the future of hunting and angling in America. They understand that our lands and waters are not just resources to be used, but treasures to be protected and enjoyed by all.

Join us in supporting Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Let’s ensure that our outdoor traditions thrive for generations to come.

At the very bottom of the page, in tiny print, there’s a brief note: This form was created inside of Forge Advisors DC.

Forge Advisors is a consulting firm located in the D.C. suburb of Reston, Virginia founded by Brittney Killen in 2017 that appears to have multiple contracts with government agencies, defense contractors, and some commercial clients as well, but no obvious connection to any hunting or outdoor organizations.

Hunters and Anglers for Harris-Walz appears to be nothing more than a way for Democrats to gather information from potential voters so they can spam them with get-out-the-vote messaging between now and Election Day. The complete lack of any details on the organization’s leadership is suspect. Even previous astroturf attempts like the American Hunters and Shooters Association had a human face to go along with their effort to deflect attention away from Barack Obama’s past support for semi-auto bans, gun rationing laws, and other anti-2A efforts. Hunters and Anglers for Harris-Walz apparently couldn’t even find a token Democrat gun owner to serve as the front-facing head of the outfit, which is just downright embarrassing for them. 

Even for an astroturf outfit this is pretty lazy work. I don’t know how many voters will be suckered into providing their information to the Harris/Walz campaign via the website’s open letter, but I’m confident that the vast majority of hunters, anglers, and gun owners will pay no mind to this pathetic attempt at outreach between now and election day

Argentina Calls for mRNA Ban After Arsenic and Other Deadly Chemicals Found in Jabs

Officials in Argentina are calling for the immediate suspension of the mRNA jabs after scientists found arsenic and 55 other deadly chemicals in six major vaccine brands.

These elements, not listed on package inserts, cause synergistic toxicity, exacerbating health risks beyond what regulators and manufacturers have disclosed to the public.

The Defender reports: The chemical elements include 11 heavy metals — such as chromium, arsenic, nickel, aluminum, cobalt and copper — which scientists consider systemic toxicants known to be carcinogenic and to induce organ damage, even at low exposure levels.

The samples also contained 11 of the 15 lanthanides, or rare earth elements, that are heavier, silvery metals often used in manufacturing. These chemical elements, which include lanthanum, cerium and gadolinium, are lesser known to the general public than heavy metals but have also been shown to be highly toxic.

“The detection of multiple undeclared toxic elements, including heavy metals and lanthanides, in COVID-19 vaccines raises a dual and multiplied concern for human health,” James Lyons-Weiler, Ph.D., a member of the journal’s editorial board who was not involved in the research, told The Defender. “Individually, these chemicals are known to cause neurological, cardiovascular and immunological damage.”

Dead Terrorists Are Good, Actually

Wow. Remind me never to start a war with Israel, huh? The bad guys got a jump on them a year ago, but ever since, the Jews have been kicking ass.

I thought Operation Beep-Beep-Boom would be the highlight, but they saved the best for last. Witness the glorious farewell of October 7 mastermind Yahya Sinwar:

 

It’s good to see that before they put him out of his misery, he was literally disarmed.

Sinwar has now ceased firing.

“What has one thumb and just got pwned by the Jews? This guy!”

That scumbag’s last great act of defiance was lobbing a stick at a camera drone. Yet according to his fans (mostly American college students and Congressional Democrats), Sinwar “fought to the end.”

LOL!

Gotta say, putting a hole in this guy’s head only improved his looks. As the great Andrew Stiles puts it: “World’s ugliest terrorist killed in war he started.”
