Today’s one of those that write themselves. Three headlines lead into news that’s makes the day. The first, @newsmax.com says: “AP-NORC Poll: Low Marks for Biden on Economy as Prices Rise.”

“About 7 in 10 Americans say the nation’s economy is in bad shape, and close to two-thirds disapprove of Biden’s handling of the economy, according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. In addition, Americans are more likely to say his policies have hurt the economy than helped it.”

Most importantly: “The polls hints at a paradox in which the public views Biden as being in power without necessarily being in control. His hopes for a lasting economic renaissance have faded as Americans cope with higher food and energy costs. And the promise of a country no longer under the pandemic's sway has been supplanted by the uncertainty of war in Europe.” 

The common trend here, if the results are unacceptable is that Biden’s involved. While those truly familiar with his past are fully aware of his incapability and tendency toward mismanagement, error and misjudgment, but now voters are reaching a similar conclusion.

“Overall, 65% of Americans disapprove of Biden’s handling of the nation’s economy, including 96% of Republicans and 36% of Democrats. The overall share saying they disapprove is up from 57% in December of 2021 and from 47% last July.

“Gas prices stand above other types of inflation when it comes to the worries ordinary Americans have about price increases impacting their bottom lines. A hefty 68% said they're very concerned about gas prices, while 59% expressed the same degree of worry about rising grocery prices.”

Which leads right into the next item @newsmax.com which has to be some kind of a joke. ”While speaking to reporters at a NATO event Thursday, President Joe Biden said he would be "very fortunate" if former President Donald Trump runs against him again in the 2024 presidential election.

"In the next election I'd be very fortunate if I had that same man running against me," Biden said at a news conference from NATO headquarters in Brussels, Belgium.

“Biden's remark comes as he faces public approval ratings hovering at 40% and also as Trump has hinted that he will likely seek the Republican nomination in 2024.”

The article includes a recap of Biden’s performance in office to date: “On Biden's watch, inflation has surged, Russia acted to invade Ukraine in spite of sanction threats from the White House, management of the pandemic ran into various administrative hurdles and a new wave of the coronavirus, and key Biden legislative initiatives fell victim to gridlock on Capitol Hill. This, though Biden ran his 2020 campaign on pledges to united a politically divided nation and help promote compromise in Congress.

“In a similar vein, illegal immigration at the southern border with Mexico has continued at a rapid pace, prompting strong criticisms from Trump. A cornerstone of the Trump administration, the border wall project, was put on hold under Biden and left unfinished.”

If that kind of record is one Biden thinks is sought by voters, one wonders what he thinks they expect from a president to begin with.

Staying @newsmax.com, the next piece may put the entire Trump vs. Clinton conflict into a new perspective, whereas if government won’t take the appropriate steps to bring her to justice, perhaps Trump and his attorneys can do it themselves.

According to a Newsmax article: “Donald Trump on Thursday sued his rival in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, Hillary Clinton, and several other Democrats, alleging that they tried to rig that election by tying his campaign to Russia.

“The lawsuit covers a long list of grievances the Republican former president repeatedly aired during his four years in the White House after beating Clinton, and comes as he continues to claim that his 2020 election defeat by Democratic President Joe Biden was the result of widespread fraud.

"Acting in concert, the Defendants maliciously conspired to weave a false narrative that their Republican opponent, Donald J. Trump, was colluding with a hostile foreign sovereignty," the former president alleged in a 108-page lawsuit filed in a federal court in Florida.

The suit alleges "racketeering" and a "conspiracy to commit injurious falsehood," among other claims.”

And perhaps, that’s the way to do it. To date, it seems that wherever Trump turns, government representatives, officials, bureaus, agencies, or any entity supposedly  involved in seeking the truth regarding performance of the Clinton campaign becomes delayed, encumbered or otherwise prevented from producing the facts in the matter. Compounding the matter is cooperation and support of the mainstream media.

But now, in the presentation of facts, details, and evidence of behavior, the criminality will be brought to light, whether the media wishes to cooperate or not. Which is likely where the issue belonged in the first place, in front of the voting public for them to judge for themselves. And if Trump’s track record to now stays consistent, he’ll put the Clinton faction where it truly belongs, receiving justice for continual criminality to date.

That’s it for today folks.

Adios
