Joe Biden’s Campaign Has Started (Accidentally) Promoting Donald Trump

/

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ re-election campaign is not going very well.

Republican presumptive nominee Donald Trump leads the Democrat duo in most polls, including in the ever-important swing states. There’s even worse news for Biden when independent and third-party candidates are factored in, with Trump widening his lead to five percentage points in some scenarios.

To aid their struggling campaign, the Democrats have launched the Biden-Harris HQ page on X (formerly Twitter). The page regularly posts snippets from Trump’s campaign, or out-of-context comments designed to cause outrage and make social media users despise the former president.

The trouble is this form of negative campaigning can backfire spectacularly.

For example, on Tuesday, June 25, @BidenHQ posted a screenshot from CNN listing a number of Trump’s commitments to overhaul the government…. all of which seem pretty awesome. Give it a look:

In the replies, many agreed with Trump’s pledges.

Others noted how the Biden-Harris campaign was now effectively supporting Trump’s.

Although individual accounts will not alter the campaign, their existence alone is a good metaphor. Biden is struggling (in more ways than one), and so the launch of account which posts attack ads says a lot about the desperation within his campaign. By doing so, he runs a risk of promoting his rival to all those who do not think that Trump is necessarily evil.

Granted, Trump has not got to where he is today by refusing to attack his rival – if anything, he’s worse for it – but the Republican is not the incumbent. If the President is unable to promote the benefits of his tenure in office, he’s unlikely to win over many voters.

White House Stands By Communications Director Despite Controversial Social Media Posts

/

A White House official has tried to backpedal on a series of social media posts in which he attacked police, criticized Israel and promoted the conspiracy of Russian interference in the 2016 Presidential Election.

Tyler Cherry, who has been promoted as an associate communications director at the White House, said his past social media posts “do not reflect” his current views, pledging his support to the Joe Biden administration and its work on environmental policies. The rest of his entire X/Twitter feed has been completely wiped.

Cherry – who previously worked at the Department of Interior – hastily turned off replies when social media users highlighted his past writings, of which there are many he hoped we’d never see.

Cherry’s response was typical of all newly promoted public figures who have been a little bit too carefree in their public postings before entering a new role.

Furthermore, his vague cover-up prompted many to wonder as to which of his controversial views he had since rejected.

Cherry has expressed views which the Biden administration has come under heavy fire from. In 2018, he called for the abolition of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which contradicts Biden’s supposedly tough-on-immigration stance. He also accused Baltimore Police of being “motivated by explicit and implicit racial biases”, and posted his support for the “ending the occupation of Palestine” during the 2014 Gaza War.

Not only has Cherry come under fire for his own controversial views, but the decision to appoint him has borne further questions on the White House itself. Nevertheless, senior deputy press secretary Andrew Bates defended the decision in a statement to Fox News, telling them: “We’re very proud to have Tyler on the team.”

Republican State AGs Unite to Oppose New Gag Order in Trump Documents Case

/

Dozens of Republican state attorneys general have submitted an amicus brief in former President Donald Trump’s classified documents case in Florida, asking the court to deny Special Counsel Jack Smith’s request for a gag order. The group of 24 attorneys called Smith’s request “presumptively unconstitutional”.

In April while his hush-money criminal trial in Manhattan was underway, Trump was handed a $9,000 fine by Judge Juan Merchan for contempt of court after the former president repeatedly violated a gag order. When he handed Trump the fine, Merchan warned that he could face jail time if he continued to violate the gag order.

Donald Trump Jr. has accused Smith of tampering with evidence relating to the case after it was revealed that the order of the documents had changed since they were seized from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort by the FBI in 2022. Following the revelation, the trial date was postponed indefinitely by Judge Aileen Cannon.

The filed amicus brief argued that candidates’ freedoms to discuss key issues of the day formed the foundation of fair elections. It also claimed that attempts to silence a candidate would harm voters and deny them access to valuable information.

The brief expressed its concerns that “fundamental” First Amendment rights are violated when one candidate’s “agents” seek a court order to silence debate on issues central to an election campaign. The group of state prosecutors, which was led by Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird, stressed that all branches of government should be careful about censoring political speech on key issues, especially leading up to a presidential election.

Smith’s motion argued that Trump had made statements that posed a significant danger to law enforcement involved in the case. The special counsel’s concerns relate to Trump’s claims that FBI agents were “locked & loaded” when they raided his property. Trump suggested that there was a plot between the FBI and the White House to assassinate him. Prosecutors slated the “grossly misleading claims” by Trump, which relate to a standard boilerplate policy used by the FBI in such operations that seeks to minimize the use of deadly force in emergency scenarios.

Kamala Harris Wants To Give First-Time Homeowners $25,000… But There’s A Catch

/

Vice President Kamala Harris wants to give first time homeowners $25,000 for a down payment plus $400 a month towards mortgage payments.

But there’s a catch.

Eligible candidates must be the first generation in their family to buy a home to secure the $25,000 grant. In addition, a “certain tranche of folks” will receive the $400 a month to help pay their mortgage costs.

The purpose of this all is pandering, of course. Harris’ pledge is catered towards Black Americans whose support she needs to help President Joe Biden secure the White House for another four years – a demographic that Democrats are increasingly desperate to hold on to. Even 15-20% of the Black vote going toward Trump would be catastrophic for them.

And it seems to have worked – at least to the audience she was directly pandering to, which applauded her racialnomics:

Immediately, there’s a problem. If you’re looking for somewhere which will be covered by the payments, then you must search hard for a property worth no more than $92,000.

Obviously that math assumes the person in question is unemployed, but even if a poor person was able to come up with another $400 a month to put towards the mortgage, the maximum home price they’d be able to afford is far below the national average.

Alas, it has raised questions over whether the policy actually promotes equality or favors one group over another – and what kind of loopholes may exist.

It does raise the question as to whether Harris’ is seeking to “buy” votes through wild, idealistic policies, rather than focusing on purposeful economic actions.

The Democrats have been ramping up their campaign to secure the Black vote after a disastrous four years in the approval ratings. Black voters make up large parts of swing states such as Pennsylvania, which the Biden-Harris administration needs to secure if it is to earn another four years in the White House.

Lastly, is any of this legal? Who knows – that certainly didn’t seem to matter for the Administration when it came to their unconstitutional student debt bailouts.

Donald Trump Earns A Vote In A Way That Only He Can

/

Donald Trump’s newfound presence on TikTok is earning him votes – and not in the way you’d expect.

TikTok user Jake Applebam posted a screenshot of his conversation with his girlfriend, who refused to vote for the former president in November’s presidential election.

Jake asked his girlfriend how many “likes” he would need to secure on his post in order for his girlfriend to vote for the Republican.

“200k likes minimum and Trump has to [leave a] comment,” she replied.

And to that he said “challenge accepted.”

Despite having only 24,000 followers on the social media platform for his pro-Trump account, the post in question amassed more than 1.6 million likes, with almost 30,000 comments at the time of writing.

As the post began to top 200k likes, Applebam’s girlfriend was confident that despite the attention, there was no way Trump would comment on the post.

But that didn’t last long, as Trump then posted “MAGA” in response to the video. Trump’s comment alone amassed tens of thousands of likes too.

The exchange was later shared onto X, proving popular with supporters of the former president.

Others were less convinced by her commitment, believing she would still vote for President Joe Biden later this year.

Either way, she joins a growing number of Democrats who are disgruntled with the current administration. On Monday, June 10, Biden’s approval rating dipped to 37.6% – his lowest approval of his four-year term thus far.

Trump continues to lead Biden in most polls, with the latter’s re-election chances seemingly diminishing by the day. The incumbent also faces the challenge of losing votes to former Democrat Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is running as an independent with a small but significant support base.

The Biden Economy Is Creating Zero Jobs for Native Born Americans

/

A graph detailing the difference in job creation between natural-born U.S. citizens and immigrants (both legal and illegal) prompted widespread debate over the weekend.

The X account @zerohedge shared an infographic on Friday, June 7 breaking down U.S. job creating by immigration status, showing that “most job creation in the past year” had gone to illegal aliens, which have poured over the border at a record pace during the Biden presidency.

An interesting aspect of the graph is how the two statistics compared under Joe Biden’s Presidency and that of Donald Trump’s. While relative job creation between the native vs. foreign born groups was largely similar under the previous administration, the disparity exploded once Biden took office in January 2021. As such, due to how lopsided the Biden so-called economic recovery has been, it’s now the case that since July 2018, there have been zero jobs created for native born Americans.

While the graph in question compared natural-born citizens with legal immigrants, rather than just illegal aliens, it did nevertheless raise questions as to why American citizens were seeing less job creation opportunities than those arriving from overseas.

The President has long supported a Woke approach to immigration, with one of his first actions being to replace the term “alien” with “noncitizen” – and dismantle the Trump immigration agenda via executive order.

Since assuming office, Biden has come under consistent criticism for his handling of the border crisis. He initially refused to continue construction of the border wall, and has taken a more open doors approach to immigration, but has since tried to make it look like he’s reneging on these policies with an upcoming presidential election looming.  

That said, it’s hard to argue that the damage hasn’t already been done. Americans, particularly in border states, are outraged over the current immigration crisis, and many can see through the President’s last ditch efforts to appear tough on immigration ahead of his electoral showdown in November.

Republican Rep. Maria Salazar Pushes Amnesty by Another Name

/

GOP Representative Maria Salazar of Florida’s 24th Congressional District is pushing a new immigration bill that looks just like another Trojan Horse.

The so-called “Dignity Act of 2023” (the date is not a typo) increases funding for border security and border patrol agents, but at a cost. That cost? Giving 11 million illegal aliens “permanently renewable legal status.” These millions who broke the law will be able work, travel, and do just about everything else legally. Why not reward their criminality even more by just making them citizens?

Daily Caller national correspondent Henry Rogers is skeptical.

Notice something else, too: the framing and naming of the bill. Why is it that even Republicans believe they have to accept the left’s demand to put “marginalized” groups—including illegals—before America’s own interests and citizens? It’s like when alleged conservatives spend 75 percent of their speeches on “of course, we know that anti-black racism is terrible, and must be stopped” rhetoric before they’ll allow themselves to say “boo” about the real widespread and socially accepted racism (bigotry and discrimination against white people).

Some users on Twitter are not at all happy with Salazar’s bill; they’re highlighting what a massive capitulation it is:

Yep.

The idea of blanket amnesty for people who broke the law and jumped the border isn’t going over too well.

Illinois Democratic Rep. Eric Sorensen really likes the bill, though!

The “only” bipartisan solution is total surrender? User KeepTheFaith has some pretty obvious advice.

But as usual, the narrative has been set, and politicians are obviously (literally) reading from a prepared script with approved phrases. Notice anything familiar in this description of the bill from Michigan’s Hillary Scholten?

Again, it’s the “only” way forward.

Wokespy readers: pretend you live in a country where citizen desires mattered to politicians. What would you want to see in an immigration bill? Tell us in the comments!

Donald Trump Is Convicted – And He’s Better Positioned Than Ever to Win in 2024

/

Thursday, May 30, 2024, will go down as a landmark date in the history of the United States.

Donald Trump’s criminal conviction was arguably expected; staunch MAGA supporters have long suspected him to be the victim of a politically motivated witch hunt, while the former president’s fiercest critics have labelled him guilty for years.

Even still, the guilty verdict was no less shocking when it was announced just after 5pm EST.

What happens in the long run is anyone’s guess, but, importantly, the conviction bares no theoretical impact on Trump’s ability to run for President. He is a natural-born citizen of the United States, has been a resident for at least 14 years, and is over 35 years old. There’s solid evidence that this is benefitting Trump in the immediate term, however, with him seeing a massive 6-point increase in his approval rating after the conviction. In other words, on net basis, Americans are seeing the conviction as resulting from a politically motivated witch hunt.

Additionally, Trump saw donations pour in so fast after the verdict that it crashed WinRed’s website. It’s since been revealed that the Trump campaign shattered a fundraising record, bringing in an incredible $34.8 million. That sure beats the $25 million that Biden brought in for his star-studded fundraiser back in March that included Barack Obama and Bill Clinton that the liberal media celebrated.

The more prudent question is this: how will the Republican nominee’s conviction affect his standing among American voters? The polling before the trial suggested that Biden will carry the youth vote – but by a thin margin that’s historically low for a Democrat. Among those aged 18-24, a group that overwhelmingly votes Democrat, Biden’s support tanked 25 points from being +32 to only +7. It’ll be interesting to track this to see how it changes.

Similarly, other polling pre-pandemic suggests that Trump will garner the largest share of the black vote since Richard Nixon in his blowout victory.

The bookies have Trump as a greater favorite as Biden since the conviction, with Biden now at +168 (meaning someone would need to bet $100 to win $168), while Trump is at -110 (meaning one needs to bet $110 to win $100). Put in percentages, the odds imply Biden has a 37.3% chance of winning the 2024 election, while Trump has a 52.4% chance.

For some, Trump’s conviction will be the final straw, but there doesn’t appear to be many Americans in that boat.

Regardless, insufferable liberals were happy to gloat about what will likely be a short-lived victory.

On the other hand, many have pledged their support for the Republican in light of the jury’s conviction.

And for others, Trump’s conviction has done little to change their minds on the upcoming Presidential Election.

To be fair, people like that were unlikely to have voted for Trump under any circumstances.

Only time will tell if Trump’s conviction changes the race for the White House – but so far it’s looking like a positive.

What’s your view? Has the trial changed how you plan to vote this November, or does it have no effect at all? Let us know in the comments below.

Joe Biden Needs The Black Vote… But It Isn’t Going Well

/

President Joe Biden’s efforts to secure a large percentage of the Black vote in November’s presidential election isn’t going to plan.

Biden needs support from Black voters in order to win a second successive term in the White House. However, only 62% of Black Americans are “absolutely certain” they will cast their ballot when the country goes to the polls, and those that do intend to vote are increasing their support for Donald Trump. If polling becomes reality, Trump will win a larger share of the black vote than any Republican since Richard Nixon.

Biden is pulling off all the stops to secure the Black vote, even if the supposedly devout Catholic has ceased his daily visits to the local Baptist church. His defiant posts, filled with policy ideas on how he will improve matters for the Black community, have sought to win back the demographic he needs to secure the White House.

The relaunch of Biden’s Black campaign will take time to reap in the effects, particularly given the current disconnect between the President and his disgruntled voters. On Wednesday, May 29, Biden held a rally in Pennsylvania – a key swing state where the winner usually goes on to take the White House.

However, there was a problem. While it’s all well and good campaigning under a Black Voters for Biden/Harris banner, it’s intended impact is limited when attendance is miniscule.

When pictures first emerged at 2pm EST, critics were quick to point out the comparison with Trump’s support in the largely Black Bronx area of New York.

Ultimately, Black Americans are divided over the president, with his campaign seeking to unify Black voters against his Republican rival.

Nevertheless, people engage with pictures over words in today’s digital era. If Biden’s to win the Black vote, he needs to look like he has the support; the scenes from Philadelphia, if Wednesday is to go by, suggests he doesn’t.

Even the Libertarian Party Has Gone Woke

/

America’s third-largest party has been accused of going woke after choosing Chase Oliver as its Presidential Election nominee.

The Libertarian Party has typically been associated with an emphasis on civil liberties and economic freedom. Its new candidate, however, contradicts these principles.

The 38-year-old has previously expressed support for an open border, while also describing the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests as “peaceful” in his opposition to Atlanta’s Cop City.

A former pro-Obama Democrat, Oliver advocated vaccine and mask mandates during the pandemic, comparing the latter to “wearing a shirt when you enter a gas station.” In addition, he has also focused his efforts on transgender issues, going as far as advocating the participation of men in women’s sports.

Furthermore, in a recent interview, Oliver compared drag queen stories with The Wiggles, claiming that 99% of them were acceptable for children.

The Libertarian Party is currently polling around 1% nationwide. Its nomination process came amid fellow candidates Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. seeking an endorsement for their Republican and Independent campaigns respectively.

 

In an amusing bit, Trump mocked Libertarian Party members booing him to their faces. “You should nominate me or at least vote for me,” Trump said to the crowd. “Only do that if you want to win. If you want to lose, don’t do that. Keep getting your three percent every four years.”
