“Trump edges out Biden 51-42 in head-to-head matchup: POLL”

It’s JOEVER
>President Joe Biden's job approval rating is 19 points underwater, his ratings for handling the economy and immigration are at career lows. A record number of Americans say they've become worse off under his presidency, three-quarters say he's too old for another term and Donald Trump is looking better in retrospect -- all severe challenges for Biden in his reelection campaign ahead.

It’s JOEVER
>Forty-four percent of Americans in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll say they've gotten worse off financially under Biden's presidency, the most for any president in ABC/Post polls since 1986. Just 37% approve of his job performance, while 56% disapprove. Still fewer approve of Biden's performance on the economy, 30%.

It’s JOEVER
>On handling immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border, Biden's rating is even lower, with 23% approval. In terms of intensity of sentiment, 20% strongly approve of his work overall, while 45% strongly disapprove. And the 74% who say he's too old for a second term is up 6 percentage points since May. Views that Trump is too old also are up, but to 50% in this poll, produced for ABC by Langer Research Associates.

Speaker Kevin McCarthy is backtracking on his plan to remove Ukraine aid from a massive military spending bill as Republicans scramble to find a way forward on funding the government.

The California Republican’s U-turn comes a day after he told reporters he would remove the roughly $300 million from the Pentagon bill and give it a separate vote as he faced GOP pushback on its inclusion.

But in the Capitol on Saturday, McCarthy said the bill will move forward with the Ukraine aid included, arguing it would be too complicated to remove because of the Republicans’ funding strategy of bringing the Defense bill to the floor with other measures. The decision injects fresh doubt into whether the Pentagon spending bill will come up for debate at all after failing twice in recent weeks.

“It became too difficult to do that, so we’re leaving it in,” McCarthy told reporters about the Ukraine funds.

Republicans are preparing to vote Tuesday to start debate on four government funding bills: Defense, State, Homeland Security and an agriculture bill. It would mark the latest attempt for McCarthy to get his party’s funding bills off the ground.

https://www.newsfromthestates.com/article/anti-democratic-moves-state-lawmakers-raise-fears-2024-election

From Alabama Republicans' blatantly discriminatory congressional map, to the Wisconsin GOP's ousting of a the states' top election official and attempt to impeach a liberal Supreme Court justice, to North Carolina's decision to allow the majority-Republican legislature to appoint state and local election board members, News from the States reports these anti-democratic moves have all recently "generated national headlines" and stoked fears ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

"If they can impeach someone successfully to stop them from ruling in a way they don't like, what will they do after the 2024 election?" Ben Wikler, the chair of the Wisconsin Democratic Party told the news outlet, referring to state Republicans' "threat to impeach" state Supreme Court Justice Janet Protasiewicz. "It was one vote in our state Supreme Court that prevented the 2020 election from being overturned in Wisconsin. And they know who the justices were, so they could just suspend them. This would open the door to monsters that I don't think they'd be able to control."

News from the States points out other states like Ohio and Florida, which are also pushing anti-democratic legislation, have "flown further under the radar."

According to the report, "In Ohio, the Supreme Court has ruled five times that the state's current legislative maps are unconstitutional gerrymanders favoring Republicans. But the bipartisan commission that's supposed to draw fair maps hasn't met since May 2022."

Furthermore, "Lawmakers' goal appears to be to run out the clock and ram through skewed maps with little public scrutiny. Because the Supreme Court now has a conservative majority, it's expected to green-light whatever lawmakers come up with."

IT"S HAPPENING. THE SLAVES ARE RUNNING OFF OF THE DEMOCRAT PLANTATION.

"LOCAL NEWS
Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson joining the Republican Party"
>https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/dallas-mayor-eric-johnson-joining-the-republican-party/

"DALLAS (CBSNewsTexas.com) -- Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson is becoming a Republican, he announced in a Wall Street Journal article appearing on an Op-Ed page Friday morning. Johnson is in his second and final term as mayor, after receiving more than 98% of the vote in his reelection campaign earlier this year.

Before becoming mayor in 2019, Johnson served five terms in the Texas House of Representatives as a Democrat"

>THIS GUY RUNS AS DEMOCRAT, WINS WITH 98% OF THE VOTE, THEN SWITCHES TO REPUBLICAN TOP KEK!!!!!!!!!!
"In the op-ed, Johnson argues that cities benefit from law and order and fiscal conservatism, which he says Democratic mayors in other major cities are overlooking.

"Unfortunately, many of our cities are in disarray. Mayors and other local elected officials have failed to make public safety a priority or to exercise fiscal restraint. Most of these local leaders are proud Democrats who view cities as laboratories for liberalism rather than as havens for opportunity and free enterprise," Johnson wrote.

‘The Nun 2’ Puts ‘The Expendables’ In Detention At Box Office In What’s Shaping Up To Be A Low Weekend For 2023 At $52M

By Anthony D'Alessandro

September 24, 2023 8:06am

https://deadline.com/2023/09/box-office-expendables-4-1235553682/

SUNDAY AM: New Line/Warner Bros is calling the third weekend of The Nun 2 at $8.4M and Lionsgate says Millennium Media’s Expendables 4 is at $8.3M, which by the way, is the lowest ever for the franchise.

While some will argue that’s a tie, it ain’t because of the fact that rival studios have a farther gap between the two movies showing that the Conjuring sequel is the winner. Once again, what genre do most moviegoers care about, even during a slow time at the box office? Horror. Global for Michael Chaves’ Nun 2 at $204M could overtake Annabelle Comes Home‘s worldwide which did $231.2M.

Video shows SoCal deputy slamming girl to the ground during chaotic brawl

A teen girl is hospitalized after being thrown to the ground by a sheriff’s deputy during a violent brawl in San Bernardino County Friday night.

Authorities responded to a large fight that erupted during a football game at Victor Valley High School around 6:28 p.m., according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department.

Cell phone video captured the violent confrontation as a deputy body slams the teen girl to the ground before another teen boy gets into a scuffle with deputies.

It all started when the first deputy to arrive discovered multiple fights were taking place at the time. Pepper balls were shot into the crowd in an effort to disperse the group. The move, however, was not effective and the crowds began heading toward the deputy, officials said.

As additional deputies arrived, another pepper ball round was launched at the group. That’s when 16-year-old Faith Jeffers grabbed the pepper ball launcher from the deputy.

This comes right after Republican leader McCarthy stabs Zelensky in the back by denying him the right to address congress.

https://news.yahoo.com/mccarthy-vows-strip-ukraine-money-170922855.html

Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) announced Friday that he will strip funding for Ukraine out of a Pentagon spending bill after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) joined conservatives in blocking the legislation from advancing earlier this week.

McCarthy said he would remove the $300 million for Ukraine currently in the Pentagon appropriations bill and hold a separate vote on the funding.

“It would be out and voted on by itself,” McCarthy said when asked about the Ukraine aid in the Pentagon appropriations bill.

The Speaker’s announcement comes one day after a band of five conservatives opposed a procedural vote for the Pentagon appropriations bill, sinking the effort and preventing the legislation from moving forward. It was the second time this week that hard-liners blocked the funding bill from advancing.

Votes on rules — which govern debate for legislation — are normally partisan and predictable matters, with the majority supporting voting “yes” and the minority party voting “no.” It is very rare for rules to fail on the floor.

Greene, who has emerged as a close ally of McCarthy, was one of the Republicans who voted against the rule Thursday “because it funds the war in Ukraine.” It was a shift from her vote Tuesday, when the congresswoman supported the procedural vote to advance the Defense measure.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/09/23/yiddish-jewish-culture-antisemitism/

CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. — The scenes were jarring, as intended, and meant to provoke fear: neo-Nazis parading in front of Disney World and crowding a highway bridge in Orlando, shouting antisemitic slurs, waving swastika flags, saluting Hitler.

Avi Hoffman has his own way of countering such hate. Armed with a laptop in his Miami suburb, he teaches Yiddish — a language that he believes is intrinsic to Jewish heritage and one that offers the soothing benefits of a bowl of grandmother’s chicken soup.

“Verter zol men vegn un nit tseyln,” says Hoffman, an actor who co-founded the cultural nonprofit Yiddishkayt Initiative, slowly reciting the proverb that translates to “Words should be weighed, not counted.”

His students repeat after him from various parts of the country, delving into a world they only knew in snippets while growing up yet now see as central to their identity.

At a time when antisemitism is surging nationwide, Yiddish — once nearly wiped out by the Holocaust and assimilation pressures — is making a comeback. The interest is reflected in popular TV shows, theatrical productions, podcasts and an array of learning apps and online instruction that burgeoned during the pandemic.

The trends aren’t directly connected, say those encouraging the revived interest in the language as well as other aspects of Jewish life. But for some, its growing popularity beyond mainstream terms such as “schlep” and “klutz” has become a kind of defiance against feelings of being perpetually under siege.

“We have to stand up because, you know what? We’ve already seen this movie,” Hoffman said, alluding to the early 20th century prejudices that led to the Nazi Holocaust and the deaths of 6 million Jews.

MAGA moron gets 5 years after preparing himself for a peaceful stroll through the Capitol by jacking up on steroids because someone needed to 'hang for treason'.

https://apnews.com/article/rodney-milstreed-capitol-riot-sentencing-d9ace182fd824a0771e5940ba91c4345

WASHINGTON (AP) — A man who attacked an Associated Press photographer and threw a flagpole and smoke grenade at police officers guarding the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was sentenced on Friday to five years in prison.

Rodney Milstreed, 56, of Finksburg, Maryland, “prepared himself for battle” on Jan. 6 by injecting steroids and arming himself with a four-foot wooden club disguised as a flagpole, prosecutors said.

“He began taking steroids in the weeks leading up to January 6, so that he would be ‘jacked’ and ready because, he said, someone needed to ‘hang for treason’ and the battle might come down to hand-to-hand combat,” prosecutors wrote in a court filing.

A prosecutor showed U.S. District Judge James Boasberg videos of Milstreed’s attacks outside the Capitol. Milstreed told the judge that it was painful to watch his violent acts and hear his combative language that day.

“I know what I did that day was very wrong,” he said.

The judge said he believes Milstreed is remorseful.

One of the NFL's male cheerleaders Justine Linsday angrily slams everything in his path; complains about home state of North Carolina for law banning men in hoop earrings from competing in sports

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12550067/NFLs-transgender-cheerleader-angrily-slams-home-state-North-Carolina-law-banning-trans-women-competing-sports.html

A male NFL cheerleader has slammed the entire state of North Carolina with his massive bulge. He's complaining about banning men in hoop earrings with lipstick on from women's sports - as he insisted that his role is 'setting things up for the younger generation.' (probably to rape them)

Justine Lindsay, 30, captured headlines in March 2022 after joining the Carolina >Panthers' TopCats cheer squad, comparing her dancing achievement to becoming 'a doctor or a nurse' in an interview with Elle this week.

'Everything that I'm going through now,
>it's bigger than me,' she said.
'No one is going to stop the show.'

Since her groundbreaking appointment, the dancer has become a figurehead in debates around transgender athlete's inclusion in female sports - despite her own role not being threatened by a recent ban passed in her home state.

'I will fight this until I can't fight anymore,' she said, speaking about the passage of the Fairness in Women's Sports Act in North Carolina. 'It saddens me to see it.'

Sworn at and threatened by shoplifters so brazen they don't care who sees them... HARRY WALLOP spends a harrowing day at a Co-op branch that's been robbed 1,000 times already this year

Naomi keeps a red book in the little office at the back of the Liverpool Co-op store that she manages. On the front it says: Santa's naughty list. She laughs when she shows me, but the contents are deadly serious.

They are a log of all the shoplifting and abuse her staff have received since she took over the store in December last year. She is already onto her third book because, in 2023 alone, there have been 1,000 separate incidents.

This is just one small convenience store out of the 2,400 that the Co-op runs in the UK.

Volodymyr Zelensky the Mad, Ruler of Ashes and 1ST Of His Name has been told that he must not insult Poland amid a growing spat between the countries, which one expert told Newsweek is being driven by the upcoming Polack election.

Since Vladimir Putin's full-scale invasion of Ucrane began in February 2022, Poland has been one of Kyiv's biggest backers, pledging around 4.27 billion euros (about $4.54 billion) in military, financial and humanitarian aid.

But relations have soured in recent weeks after Warsaw said it would not suspend an EU ban on Ucraneian agricultural products that Brussels had imposed earlier this year, which aimed to protect European farmers fom surplus Ucrane grain.

Ucrane filed a lawsuit against Poland, as well as Slovakia and Hungary, which also intend to continue with the ban. Then Zelensky the Mad, Ruler of Ashes and 1ST Of His Name told the United Nations' General Assembly on September 19 how some of their friends in Europe are demonstrating political theatre, which played into Moscow's hands.

In response, Poland summoned the Ucraneian ambassador to Warsaw, and Polack Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on social media that Warsaw would "no longer transfer weapons to Ucrane because we are now arming Poland."

Morawiecki took aim at Zelensky the Mad, Ruler of Ashes and 1ST Of His Name again on Friday, telling a rally in the city of Swidnik, Poland, that the Ucraneian leader must "never insult Poles again."

"The Polack people will never allow this to happen," Morawiecki said, adding that "defending the good name of Poland" was both "my duty and honor."

Morawiecki went to reiterate that, "The Polack peoples are not as dumb or backwards as the rest of Europe claim we are".
