Why hasn’t Biden job approve gotten a ‘rally around the flag’ boost? New NBC poll gives us some insights. When asked if they prefer Biden focus most on inflation/Econ or end war in Ukraine, 68% pick inflation/Econ. Biden job approve on the economy: 33/63 (-30). All about the Econ

Maybe starting World War III will turn things around?
“Amid Europe’s largest land war since World War II, 7 in 10 Americans expressed low confidence in President Joe Biden’s ability to deal with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in a new NBC News poll, and 8 in 10 voiced worry that the war will increase gas prices and possibly involve nuclear weapons.
And during the nation’s largest inflation spike in 40 years, overwhelming majorities said they believe the country is headed in the wrong direction and disapproved of the president’s handling of the economy.
Those are some of the major findings of the new national NBC News poll, which found that Biden’s overall job approval rating had declined to 40 percent, the lowest level of his presidency. The survey also found that Republicans enjoyed a 2-point lead in answer to which party should control Congress ahead of November’s midterm elections. …
The decline in Biden’s handling of the economy comes as the cost of living has jumped to Americans’ most important issue in the poll, displacing jobs and the economy, voting rights/election integrity and the coronavirus as the top issues, which all topped January’s survey.”
The good news: Joe Biden’s descent in the polls continues, the wartime president “reset” failed, there has been no real change since January, waging the dog hasn’t worked, no one is rallying behind Joe Biden’s leadership, Ukraine is seen as simply the latest in a litany of disasters that he has presided over. Inflation is the top issue and that problem has only gotten worse. The public thinks what is happening in Ukraine is bad, but overwhelmingly sees the economy as the more important issue.
The bad news: the GOP is going to benefit from another wave of knee jerk backlash politics and has no solutions to any of these issues and wants to make the war in Ukraine even worse than it is now. The war in Ukraine is encouraging a reversion to neoconservatism although that support is shallow and is based entirely on Americans not suffering any consequences from our belligerent foreign policy. FOX News has become as unwatchable as it was during the catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan.
In light of the above, we will probably endorse a few candidates who are against the war (Vance, Masters) or who have a track record of being strong on our issues (Mo Brooks) and look at what is going on at the state level. We’re going to focus most of our effort though on pushing back against the Ukraine narrative.
The GOP will BTFO the Dems in the midterms which sucks because everyone ALWAYS learns the worst lessons from their wins.
These people seem determined to give the office back to the Trumpster.
sigh.
and the MSM will give low ratings to whoever is president, if they don’t go to war with Russia, so the left can get richer…
Wondering what the real state of the US nuclear arsenal is. Shlomo is a slumlord. I doubt much money has been spent. I believe the last round of warheads were finished under Jimmy Carter, the W(19)78. Tritium has a half life of something like 3.5 years. These things are not shelf stable and it has been nearly 50 years.
Rally around the flag bump? All of Brandon’s voters consider our flag to be a symbol of white supremacy. The only issue that Democrat voters have in common is that they hate America.
University educated white environmentalists, gay trans queer advocates, hood blacks and invading illegal aliens. No other issue unites this rabble.
The entire South needs to secede on Joe Biden’s watch and have him and the Yankee media be forced to praise us for standing up against tyranny here in the Yankee Empire as the Ukrainians did against Russia. I’m “sure” they will.
In revenge for the defeat at Bethel, squads of Ben Butler’s men made depredations on the lower part of the Peninsula, particularly in the county of Gloucester. Crops were wantonly destroyed, furniture spoiled, some houses burned down. Bonds and private papers found in desks or in wall safes were torn to bits. Many valuables were carried off by Federal soldiers and sent as souvenirs to Northern relatives. Scores of slaves were stolen and reported as fugitives. General Butler termed the Negroes brought into his camp “contrabands of war,” and made them work harder for rations than they had worked on the plantations.

Why do modern Southerners wave the Union flag the hardest and join the Union military at the highest national rate? I’m a deep rooted Southerner with Confederate ancestors and this was always been an enigma to me.
I don’t think there is just one correct answer but here is one of them. And others can probably add more.
“Every man should endeavor to understand the meaning of subjugation before it is too late… It means the history of this heroic struggle will be written by the enemy; that OUR YOUTH WILL BE TRAINED BY NORTHERN SCHOOLTEACHERS; will learn from Northern school books THEIR VERSION OF THE WAR; will be impressed by the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors, and our maimed veterans as fit objects for derision… It is said slavery is all we are fighting for, and if we give it up we give up all. Even if this were true, which we deny, slavery is not all our enemies are fighting for. It is merely the pretense to establish sectional superiority and a more centralized form of government, and to deprive us of our rights and liberties.”

The WH even denounced his speech saying Putin’s regime must go. They were in damage control saying Biden meant Putin’s regime in Ukraine must go.
Words can’t describe how much I don’t like Trump and his brainwashed crazy believers. I’m obviously not a fan of Biden either. I’d much rather have a common sense Nationalist Third Party in office running the country. However lets look at Biden and his lower approval ratings. What has he actually done (that we might agree with) while in office. Nothing really. Universal Basic Income? Medicare for All? Things like that. Nothing at all. So we Nationalist who believe in a strong government aren’t getting much out of him and we sure got nothing from Trump….notice all the Illegal Immigrants still here. Trump was nothing but talk. Deo Vindice !
Won’t even be allowed on the ballot. If we start one it will be infiltrated by federal agents – regardless of eschewing any violence apart from self-defense. The system is completely rigged – down to the local level. Only those who have taken the ticket get to be nominated. This will not change until the whole rotten system comes down.
“Overwhelming majorities said they believe the country is headed in the wrong direction…”
Headed??! That ship sailed over a century ago.
