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!
Five Stories to Watch: New coronavirus stimulus is in the works; Harvard, MIT sue Trump admin to block order revoking visas for foreign students; Trump admin seeking who leaked intel on Russian bounties in Afghanistan; Mystery continues to surround explosion at Iranian nuclear facility; and US, allies discussing how to respond to China’s aggression toward Hong Kong.
What Newt’s Reading: I Am Black and I Am a Democrat. But ‘I Ain’t’ Voting for Joe Biden This November; ‘Threat to Our Democracy’: GOP Senator Demands Ilhan Omar Resignation; New Foreign Broadcasting Chief Cleans House, Pushes Pro-America Reporting; The North American Trade Dividend; and Georgia Is Doing Fine, Thank You.
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.
What Newt’s Reading: Trump at Mount Rushmore; How Trump — Not Biden — Has Helped Make Black Lives Better; Former G.W. Bush Appointees Supporting Biden Have Embraced Socialist Policies — Why?; Democrats Try to Sneak ‘Green New Deal’ Through Tax Code; and US Service Sector Rebounds Strongly in June.
To my surprise (and I suspect virtually everyone’s surprise) President Donald Trump is carving a place in history as a teacher and statue builder. This was a major outcome of his extraordinarily powerful speech at Mount Rushmore on July 3.
President Donald Trump’s speech at Mount Rushmore may be the most important and historic speech of his career. If he continues to echo and reinforce the message of this profound speech, he will become as essential to the preservation of freedom in America for the 21st century as President Abraham Lincoln was in the 19th century and President Ronald Reagan was in the 20th century.
