The confidence numbers are down for the whole admin.
Read one report that said the economy and immigration where the two biggest problems other than the vax issues.

... I am SO devastated! NOT!

The Trafalgar Group is an opinion polling and survey company founded by Robert Cahaly and based in Atlanta, Georgia.

Leading up to the 2020 presidential election, pollsters associated with Trafalgar Group garnered significant media attention for their assertions that Trump would prevail over Joe Biden in the 2020 election, a claim that contradicted the polling consensus.^[3] This prediction of a Trump victory proved to be wrong, with Trafalgar incorrectly predicting victories for Trump in five battleground states won by Biden.

.... OOPS! The Trafalgar Group got the election call big wrong!


2020 U.S. presidential election

Before the 2020 United States presidential election, Trafalgar Group said that Trump would win the election easily, estimating that he would win Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania.^[13] Joe Biden won the election with 306 electoral votes and succeeded in winning Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, and Pennsylvania.^[14] According to FiveThirtyEight, Trafalgar was the second most accurate pollster in terms of the margins compared to the final results, despite only having a 50% rate of calling races correctly.^[15]

This quote about sums up Cuba and socialism. I'll also post the complete article on what life is really like in Cuba.

did a video in a Mercedes Benz, very arrogantly showing off his life while the people are starving.

Why is it happening?
did a video in a Mercedes Benz, very arrogantly showing off his life while the people are starving.

Then, the government quickly cut out the internet. And hand in hand with the blackout, they started putting out fake news.

The truth is, I was fairly calm at first. But when I started to get internet access and saw all the videos coming in
We have seen 10 policemen beating a young kid. We have seen special forces enter a neighborhood, shooting when everyone is unarmed.

How the Cuban government is responding:

The government has created a very sophisticated disinformation process. They start by saying the people who protested were revolutionaries who were confused. Later, they said [the protesters] were delinquents. Now, they say [the protesters] are people who want the U.S. government to invade Cuba.

There are mothers


Why this moment is different for the Cuban people:




The protest is bigger than anything that Raul and Fidel Castro were able to organize. But this was completely spontaneous. There is no leader, no opposition group that is able to do something like this. You can see it. And they were peaceful. Of course, there were some people who broke into food stores and also turned some police cars.
Still, the message from the people was very clear: [Vandalizing] the food stores means they are hungry and there is no way they have access to food. And turning over the police cars is saying they have enough of the police abuse. The people have spoken very clearly.
What the people want is to live a prosperous life with rights.

The shining city upon a hill- I guess Biden proves the saying correct. Shit runs downhill.

600,000 American's died of Covid due to Trump's inept handling of this pandemic, but 700,000 people died of AIDs and Uncle Ronnie wouldn't even say the word AIDs. Reagan made a deal with the Iranian terrorists to keep American's hostage, he sold drugs to buy guns and promote war around the world and only William Barr saved him from going to jail for his crimes.


When it comes to being a rotten president, Reagan makes Trump look like a piker.

Cops blame Trump, Republicans for allegedly inspiring and then downplaying Jan. 6 Capitol attack

Officers want committee to dig into Trump and Republicans' culpability in inspiring and downplaying Jan. 6 attack


Four police officers who defended the Capitol from the pro-Trump mob that invaded it on Jan. 6 criticized the former president and Republicans who are loyal to him for allegedly inspiring and then downplaying the attack.
They asked members of the House select committee investigating the events of that day to get to the bottom of their culpability.

The officers made the comments before a panel with no hostile questioners. Republicans pulled all of their appointees to the committee after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., blocked two of them for being too closely aligned with Trump.

The fact the only Republicans on the committee – Reps. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., and Liz Cheney, R-Wyo. – were selected by Pelosi made for a hearing with little dissent or fireworks. But with graphic body camera video and emotional testimony, the hearing was still gripping and at times jarring television.

"The mob of terrorists were coordinating their efforts… shouting ‘heave, ho,’ as they synchronized pushing their weight forward crushing me further against the metal doorframe," Hodges said. "A man in front of me grabbed my baton… he bashed me in the head and face with it, rupturing my lip and adding additional injury to my skull."

MPD Officer Michael Fanone, meanwhile, detailed how he was "electrocuted again and again and again with a taser. I am sure I was screaming, but I don't think I could hear my own voice."

At least two lawmakers – Kinzinger and Rep. Adam Schiff, R-Ill. – were choked up listening to the officers' testimony.

U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) Private First Class Harry Dunn talked about how the attackers hurled the N-word at him. USCP Sergeant Aquilino Gonell meanwhile emphasized that the mob "was not Antifa. It wat not Black Lives Matter. It was not the FBI. It was [Trump's] supporters that he sent them over to the Capitol that day."

On what he would like the committee to accomplish, Fanone said he wanted it to dig beyond the security failures at the Capitol and the USCP budget – ground he said has already been covered – and ask more fundamental questions.

"While I understand there have been investigations [on] the events of Jan. 6, my understanding is that those have addressed some of the micro-level concerns," he said.

"We had violent political rhetoric. We had the organization of a rally whose title was ‘Stop the Steal’ and that rally occurred on Jan. 6, which I don't believe was a coincidence," he continued. "The circumstances of that rhetoric and those events leads in the direction of our president and other members... of Congress and the Senate."

Fanone added: "What I am looking for is an investigation into those actions... and also whether there was collaboration between those members, their staff, and these terrorists."
