MIGA is cratering on every front except the one that matters most which is getting its way on policy:
- Israel is historically unpopular in the United States and the world
- Trump’s approval rating of 33% has never been lower
- Americans are recoiling in horror from $5 a gallon gasoline
- 2/3rds of the country opposes the war in Iran
- Support for Israel is collapsing with Republicans under 50 and is non-existent with Independents and Democrats
- The Israeli Wire is hemorrhaging viewers and laying off staff
- AIPAC is radioactive in primaries
- Republicans are getting thrashed in special elections
- The Democratic advantage on the generic congressional ballot is growing
“The Daily Wire has been hit with another round of layoffs.
Ben Shapiro’s right-wing media company confirmed the layoffs in a statement to the media on Friday afternoon, saying that impacted staffers span “a number of teams” and that the layoffs were largely concentrated at its Nashville headquarters. …
However, Brent Scher, the editor-in-chief of The Daily Wire, refuted this claim and others similar to it on X Friday evening, writing, “Yes, the company had layoffs today. It’s always really tough. No, it was nowhere near 50% of the company. That’s insane, and also insane to post without verifying.” …”
As depressing as things are now, we are on the cusp of radical political change in the 2030s.
