What Newt’s Reading: Biden Promises to Continue the Democratic Party’s Crusade Against Catholics; Absentee Ballots Didn’t Get Counted Because of Late Delivery, Misdelivery, and Bad Postmarks, Post Office Says; The Fragility of the Woke; AOC & Dems Launch Absurd Boycott of Goya Foods After CEO Joins Trump Pro-Hispanic Initiative; and Police Wrestle With Surge in Crime in US Cities Amid Defunding Efforts.
A major choice in this year’s election will be between defunding or defending police. Most Americans are worried by the rise in crime and dramatic increase in violence in some of our nation’s cities after Democrat leaders withdrew their police forces in the face of radical, violent leftwing protests. Most Americans believe the vacuum created by defunding the police is going to be filled with predators and dangerous criminals — not with social workers and do-gooders.
Looking at recent election polls, it’s not hard to see why Joe Biden feels so confident that he’ll win the election this November. National polling data from almost every prominent outlet indicates that Biden is the candidate favored to win. The excitement of seeing himself in the lead, if only by a few points, seems to have gone straight to his head.
Newt: Charlie Cook’s latest outlook awards Joe Biden 279 electoral votes, which is precisely the minimum he forecast for Hillary the day before the election in 2016. I bet this is equally accurate!

The Deep State Republicans are alive and well and doing what you’d expect them to be doing. They are living proof that President Donald Trump is a genuine change agent. The world he is changing is their world, and they hate him for it.
Years from now, when historians want to understand the presidency of Donald Trump — and scholars will no doubt be curious about our 45th president — they should study two speeches.
One speech is the president’s most recent, which he delivered at Mount Rushmore to celebrate Independence Day. The other speech dates back to July 2017, when President Trump spoke to the people of Poland in Warsaw.
Biden claims his experience in foreign policy is an asset. In reality, it may be one of Biden’s biggest weaknesses. Anecdotes of tough talking dictators and becoming friends with democratic leaders sound nice, but when they’re proven to be ineffective, they’re just empty stories. Combine that with plain old bad decision making, and you get someone who absolutely should not be commander in chief.
