The Democrats and the media (pardon my redundancy) labored mightily to tar President Trump as he left office, throwing everything at him from a second bogus impeachment to charges of treason and insurrection. But as Abraham Lincoln is reported to have said, “You can’t fool all of the people all of the time.” Even amidst the attempted purge, a Rasmussen survey released Monday showed that Trump’s approval rating has actually risen slightly in the past few days. He left office at 51% approval.

Even in the Real Clear Politics aggregate of polls that always leans anti-Trump, he leaves office with 40% approval, 10 points higher than George W. Bush. And if think 40% is low, Ballotpedia's average of polls shows Congress' approval rating standing today at 13%.

That linked story also shows that while the Democrats may hold Congress, the GOP is in far better shape there than in 2009. Also, it notes that the alleged “white supremacist” Trump improved the Republican vote among virtually all minority groups, while only the Democrat vote got whiter.

The key to continuing that trend will be finding more Republican candidates who will keep fighting to make the lives of working Americans of all backgrounds better. That should be the party’s stance, stated loud and clear, and it’s what I’ve always promoted. Let’s hope the populist revolution for working people against the elites that Trump started can keep growing beyond Trump himself.

Biden’s border chaos is having an impact on blue cities

Apr 18, 2024

I know we’re all supposed to pretend that nobody can learn anything from old, dead, white guys, especially America’s Founding Fathers.

New James O’Keefe undercover video: who’s REALLY running the White House?

Apr 18, 2024

James O’Keefe and his hidden camera have done it again. This time, he helps us answer the question, “Who, behind the scenes, is really running the Biden White House?” (I think we have a pretty good idea who isn’t.)

Tax Day

Apr 15, 2024

Today is April 15, tax deadline day. If you can’t comply in time with our bloated tax code, you can file for an automatic extension, but you have to pay what you estimate you owe now or face penalties and interest.

Arizona Supreme Court’s abortion ruling is more nuanced than the pro-abortion side would have you believe

Apr 11, 2024

I wrote earlier about the Arizona Supreme Court decision affirming that a recent law allowing abortion before 15 weeks’ gestation did not repeal the 1864 law outlawing all abortions except to save the life of the mother. This set off a firestorm...

Trump issues abortion statement

Apr 9, 2024

Trump said in his statement, "You must follow your heart on this issue but remember, you must also win elections to restore our culture and in fact to save our country, which is currently and very sadly a nation in decline.”

He should have had a 90% approval.

That's just a poll. I bet if you asked a lot more people and people who don't answer polls just Joe Schmo off the street it would be much higher.

Best president in my memory. Wealthy and unafraid, he brought a new energy to the presidency. He made good decisions and he put the people of this Country First. God Bless Donald J Trump and America.

President Trump was a wonderful President and his approval will go up the longer Biden is signing these horrible deals!!! We say thank you to God for allowing us to have a decent President for four years even though the left was following the devil all that time. Now we are being led by the devil!

The left has a lot to answer for and God, the Judge of the whole earth, will bring justice.
Stay faithful and let God be God! That means me, too!

The best President ever. He is the People's President. I am so sorry the election was such a fraud. I was watching TV the night of the election; I went to bed around 12:30 President Trump was so far ahead of Biden it was pitiful. I said President Trump won and went to bed happy. I get up turn on the TV and Biden was winning. This can't be. I even sent a e-mail to my Republican chairman and ask if the voting machines were safe. He said yes. I just had a feeling something was wrong when I voted. I had a feeling about the machine. And I was right. The demos will pay for this. We will win next time.

Sir, with all due respect, I rebuke the thought that you consider Biden to be your President. Frankly you too are rolling over on God himself. Why would you want to lead people to Christ and then cause them to believe a lie and be dammed. We all know Biden and the mafia stole this election . 2 Thessalonians 2:7-12
King James Version
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

President Trump's approval rating is just going to keep climbing because of the left's stupidity and corruptness.It is just going to go higher.

More importantly than Bush approval rating. What was Obama approval rating? I would hope it was low.

President Trump is the greatest President that America and the People have ever had. He is the greatest President in History. He was nominated for the Nobel Peace Price by four Countries. He did more for America and the People than any other President. He did much to improve or make everything he touched better.
Love this great President.

If President Trump had an approval rate of 51% that should match his votes. If congress has an approval rate of 13% then that tells me that term limits are necessary to fix the massive corruption in Washington. It’s not gonna work to drain the swamp. We need a mammoth sized pump to get rid of the sludge that has settled to the bottom years ago. Term limits would certainly help. The great majority would agree with that if it could be put a ballot.

I am sick about Trumps unhinged rhetoric post election. And the ugly side of the far, far right (wrong). DT pre election rhetoric, the first debate, the selfish speach, defeated him. I feel a pang of sorrow for him though. I think he carried the Godly platform well. The media and lib's crucified, tarred, feathered him. There was no treason, no ordering insurrections against the capital. His final couple speeches hit the mark but a week late. Revenge and viciousness seems to be the message now from the self righteous. He basically committed political suicide and Polosi wants more than blood, she wants the heart torn out and delivered to her.

Thank you for all you did to take care of America. It hurts my heart to see what Biden’s going to do to our great land. Keep watching. Maybe there’s a monkey wrench you can throw into some of the bad stuff. Love you Mr President. You’ll always be MY President
