Anybody notice how many hardhats are rallying around Trump in New York?
By Monica Showalter
In the midst of trials, President Trump is campaigning, for president.
That's not how his legal persecutors planned it. Their idea with their rushed and perfectly timed prosecutions has always been to keep President Trump tied up in court and unable to campaign.
But that doesn't stop President Trump. Since he can't go anywhere while the trial is on, he's campaigning where he is, in deep blue New York City, making lemonade out of a load of very sour lemons.
And the results are shocking:
Leftists go nuts when they see this, but the fact is Donald J Trump is the most loved President in our lifetime 👇

Look at those hardhats. Those are working people, normal voters, the kind of people the left claims to champion.
With far-left pro-Hamas protestors overrunning big campuses in New York, campuses such as Columbia University and New York University, those workers greeting Trump create a weird deja vu feeling of the Hard Hat Riots of 1970, which spontaneously emerged to everyone's surprise in the wake of the far-left lunacy engulfing, yes, Columbia University, in those years earlier. The working men were sick of it, and rallied hard around Richard Nixon. Now the same damn thing is happening in New York, this time with the same stupid protestors running circles around their university and attacking the very idea of a Liberal (in the classical sense) education, while bloodthirsty prosecutors and judges attempt to destroy Trump legally, rendering him a victim. Now he's ramming a fist down that alligator's mouth and if he takes New York in November, it will be the greatest self-own comeuppance ever seen in American politics, all completely preventable from their point of view, but put into place by their own rage.
Chris Queen at PJMedia noticed the curious make-do quality of Trump's campaign:
Trump couldn't attend the SCOTUS arguments since Judge Juan Merchan is keeping him on a tight leash in New York City, but that's not stopping him from improvising some campaign appearances. Victoria told us about it:
Trump asked for the day off from the New York City trial of the incomprehensible bookkeeping case to attend the argument but was in effect ordered to sit down and shut up by the judge, who said his court was a "very big deal" too.
So, because he couldn't go to watch the oral arguments in D.C., Trump did what came naturally: he campaigned.
Before he went into the courthouse, he stopped to talk to construction workers and onlookers on the streets of New York. He signed hats and heard the crowd shout, "We love Trump!" and "USA! USA!"
Unable to go to places like Iowa, Indiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Florida or Tennessee, where many Trump voters are, he's planning to go big in New York:
While he's in the Big Apple, Trump wants to create a rally to top all rallies, as Victoria explained:
Trump said he's ironing out details for the Madison Square Garden rally, though MSG reported they have not inked a deal as of yet. It's fair to say that you shouldn't bet against him, however. Nor should you dismiss his desire to stick his finger in the eye of official New York, whose governor has told conservatives to leave and admitted that the lawsuits against him are unique to him, and players at all state, borough, and city judicial levels are arrayed against all things Trump.
Even the New York Times is noticing that the courtroom persecutions are backfiring. In an op-ed written by a former operative of George W. Bush and Mitt Romney, and probable #neverTrump, he warned Democrats they were showing off Trump to voters to his best advantage:
The Manhattan courtroom will be the setting for Mr. Trump to play the role of a familiar American archetype: the wronged man seeking justice from corrupt, powerful forces. The former president is good in this role, and that’s no small thing.
Presidential campaigns pay a great deal of attention to scheduling — where, when and how many events should a candidate do on any given day. But here’s the most important element of scheduling: putting a candidate in a setting that gives them a chance to excel. ...
Mr. Trump loves big rallies. He feeds off the crowd like a vampire at a blood bank. But his act is getting a little old. ... the trial gives Mr. Trump the benefits of renewed interest from voters and the media with no burden on his team to increase campaigning or produce a newsworthy event.
I feel like I have spent half my life in campaign headquarters, staring at a map and a calendar. The map is always too large, and the calendar too short. Time is the one resource allocated to campaigns in exactly the same amounts. But there’s a dirty little secret to presidential campaigns: Where you campaign may be of little consequence. A courthouse could be as valuable as the swingiest swing district in the swingiest swing state.
Seems it's getting obvious to everyone that Trump could put even New York into play, as well as all the states he wanted to campaign in.
If that happens, it will be Democrats' own fault. The intriguing thing is, they can't stop it. They can only sit by, paralyzed by their own venom as working Americans rally around Trump. That's coverage they don't want and there's not a thing they can do about it.

President Trump has announced that he wants >
to hold several surprise Trump rallies in his home state of New York.
(( NO Link ~ Received via e/Mail ))
(( Place *Pic-links in Browser ~ UnMute & hit Play Arrow ))
The proposed rallies would take place in the South Bronx and Madison Square Garden, and it’s no wonder why: the people of New York love President Trump.
Not the smarmy liberals who inhabit the high-rises in downtown Manhattan, but the working-class people in New York love the former President.
As a former New Yorker, I can confirm that the guy was seen as a hometown hero for decades. It was only when he ran for President and the mainstream media engaged in a coordinated propaganda campaign against him that attitudes changed.
I wouldn’t even say they changed so much per se, anti-Trump sentiment was manufactured by the MSM and the elites.

Newsmax had more on the proposed rallies:
Speaking outside a Manhattan courtroom Thursday, Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, said the rally at Madison Square Garden will honor police, firefighters, and teachers.
As you can see, President Trump has received an outpouring of support from the people of New York amid the coordinated lawfare being waged against him.

Democrats Need To Be Held To Account For Denying Trump’s Due Process Rights.
By Wolf Howling
Properly understood, these are acts of seditious conspiracy and treason meant to be felt throughout the United States. As such, Judge Merchan, Alvin Bragg, and all their cohorts need to be arrested and tried in the heartland of our nation. Let them face America. If convicted, they need to be punished to the maximum extent allowed by law.
Due process of law, or at least its absence, is the heart of the unconstitutional lawfare aimed at Donald Trump this week in a New York courtroom, ostensibly for hush money payments to Stormy Daniels. This is a crossing of the Rubicon moment for our Republic.
“Due process” is ancient shorthand for the sum of all the procedures the government must comply with and honor before it may take a person’s life, liberty, or property. The right to due process is over 1,000 years old in English jurisprudence. It is a right of every citizen and a duty of every government.
A year ago, I wrote about DA Bragg charging Trump with a crime, but not identifying the crime. Within the past few days, Andrew McCarthy called the prosecution a “farce” and listed its many failings. Prof. Jonathan Turley wrote that Trump is not being prosecuted for any actual crime. Prof. Jed Shugerman called the prosecution unfounded, both a “legal embarrassment” and a “historic mistake.” Matthew Whitaker said that Judge Merchan, who presides over the Manhattan kangaroo court, is hopelessly conflicted to a degree that would make Joe Biden blush.
The fundamental issues with this trial all revolve around a denial of due process. This is criminally unconstitutional, and, because it is meant to distort a free and fair presidential election President, creating an existential crisis for America.
A Brief History of Procedural Due Process
Since 1215, an ocean of blood has been spilled by men on English and American shores to vindicate individual rights. Civil wars (including the 1st and 2nd Baron’s War, the Peasants’ Revolt, the English Civil War, the Glorious Revolution, and the American Revolution) have been fought, kings deposed, a king executed, and nations sundered to vindicate those rights. And in virtually all those conflicts, a government’s systemically denying its citizens’ due process rights was at the conflict’s heart.
The British freemen’s right to due process of law appeared first in the Magna Carta of 1215, when the tyrant King John was imprisoning men and extorting their lands and possessions. That same right to due process of law appeared in writing again as a right of all English citizens in the Petition of Right of 1628 when Charles I was imprisoning and even executing men, not for any crime, but to take their lands and estates. Due Process of law was reaffirmed as an Englishman’s right in the English Bill of Rights of 1689 after the English deposed James I for dispensing with those rights and ruling as a tyrant.
In 1761, King George III began to deny the colonists many aspects of due process of law. By 1775, George III’s refusal to honor the Americans’ rights led to the American Revolution. After the Revolution, America’s Founders wrote “due process of law” into both the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. It appears generally in the 5th Amendment and specifically as to component parts of due process in the 4th, 5th, and 6th Amendments.
Due process is at our republic’s very foundation and is indispensable to our nation’s functioning. Take away “due process of law,” and there is nothing to stop government tyranny and criminality. There is nothing to stop our own versions of history’s Mao, Stalin, Robespierre, and Charles I. We see it in the currently unstoppable Alvin Bragg, Juan Merchan, and the rogue’s gallery of others plotting lawfare to de facto overthrow our republic.
The Mechanics of Due Process of Law
Much of the U.S. Constitution is not an explanatory text. It is written in shorthand, with references to things that were well-known in law and culture when the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights were ratified. Thus, when the 5th Amendment says no one “shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law,” every American understood that to mean the sum of those procedures that American and English courts followed in 1791.
It helps to think of due process of law in two prongs. The first prong is the procedures the government must follow. They are characterized by ensuring that a large number of people come to an objective agreement that a crime occurred and that the defendant committed the crime. This prong guards against any one government actor acting out of wrongful motive, whether it be avarice, vengeance, or political gain.
The second prong is the information and rights that the government must make available to the defendant to ensure he has an adequate defense against the government’s overwhelming power. This includes telling him the crimes for which he is charged, allowing him to hear the evidence against him, and allowing him to present a defense, including the right to cross-examine witnesses.
The federal and state governments all have their own laws defining procedural due process of law. They’re very similar, with some minor local variations. As a general matter, when a law-enforcement officer proposes to arrest someone, the officer must meet with a prosecutor and show the evidence. Only if the prosecutor agrees that the putative defendant violated a valid law does the prosecutor present those facts to a Grand Jury.
If the Grand Jury returns an indictment, the prosecutor refers the matter to a magistrate who reviews the charges and, if they’re legally sufficient, issues a warrant to arrest. By this point, the process has involved twenty or more people, all of whom have had a chance to see the evidence and weigh the prosecutor’s decision.
After arrest, the defendant must be brought before a court, where the exact charges are read against him in front of a neutral magistrate. The defendant then has several additional due process rights to ensure that he is treated fairly, including the right to trial by a jury of his peers.
The government must produce evidence at the trial, and it is the government, seeking to take away the defendant’s life, liberty, or property, that has the burden of proof of guilt (rather than the defendant having to prove the negative, which is his innocence). A neutral judge must preside fairly over the trial.
At trial’s end, only after the jury has heard all the facts and after watching the defendant confront his accusers, then, and only then, if the jury approves the charges based on the facts can government invade the defendant’s God-given rights to life, liberty, and property.
Donald Trump’s trial in NYC has been an obscene mockery of Due Process. It is criminally and blatantly unconstitutional:
[Per AT, McCarthy, Turley] DA Bragg charged Trump with accounting fraud (a misdemeanor) done intentionally to hide a second crime. At no point before trial did Bragg inform Trump what the second crime was that he was alleged to have committed. No one, whether in 2024 New York City, Charles I’s Star Chamber, or a televised show trial from the Soviet Union, can possibly defend against hidden crimes.
[Per McCarthy, Turley, Shugerman] It gets worse. At the trial, DA Bragg is alleging a second crime of “conspiracy” (hiding information) that was not in the indictment, and that does not apply to the alleged facts of the case.
[Per Whitaker] Judge Merchan, overseeing the trial, is not a disinterested party to these proceedings. His daughter is a Democrat fundraiser making millions of dollars thanks to this particular criminal trial.
[Per The New York Post] Judge Merchan has not merely allowed this trial to proceed under these outrageous circumstances, but he is allowing DA Bragg to spend days bringing in irrelevant evidence about Trump’s alleged affair with Karen McDougal. The law in all American jurisdictions makes this type of evidence impermissible because it invites a jury to convict for acts other than the crime charged. It is classic judicial and prosecutorial misconduct. Indeed, it was for just such acts that New York’s highest court recently vacated Harvey Weinstein’s conviction.
This case—its timing and the sum of its irregularities—has no chance of surviving an appellate review, even if a rabid progressive jury convicts Trump for being Trump. This case is designed solely to have an immediate impact on the 2024 election.
Make no mistake, this is a civil war battle, only it’s fought with a quill instead of a sword. Its existential ramifications for our nation are no less serious. What’s happening is a blatantly unlawful attempt to disenfranchise over half this nation and, by setting a precedent that sees Republicans exist below the ancient protections of due process, it threatens our nation with disunion at best.
Properly understood, these are acts of seditious conspiracy and treason meant to be felt throughout the United States. As such, Judge Merchan, Alvin Bragg, and all their cohorts need to be arrested and tried in the heartland of our nation. Let them face America. If convicted, they need to be punished to the maximum extent allowed by law.

Adam Schiff’s Luggage, Clothes Stolen in San Francisco
JOEL B. POLLAK 26 Apr 2024 2:1
U.S. Senate candidate Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) had his luggage stolen in San Francisco, California, on Thursday, leaving him without a suit as he addressed an audience that evening.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported:
Hello to the city, goodbye to your luggage. That was Senatorial candidate Adam Schiff’s rude introduction to San Francisco’s vexing reputation for car burglaries Thursday when thieves swiped the bags from his car while it sat in a downtown parking garage.
The heist meant the Democratic congressman got stuck at a fancy dinner party in his shirt sleeves and a hiking vest while everyone else sat in suits. Not quite the look the man from Burbank was aiming for as he rose to thank powerhouse attorney Joe Cotchett for his support in his bid to replace the late Dianne Feinstein in the U.S. Senate.
“I guess it’s ‘Welcome to San Francisco,’ ” Cotchett’s press agent Lee Houskeeper, who was at the dinner, remarked dryly.
Democrats are struggling to face the consequences of their own policies, as “criminal justice reform” has turned San Francisco and other California cities into havens for petty crime and smash-and-grab thefts.
At the state level, Democrats are trying to pass laws to toughen penalties for property crime — but without touching Proposition 47 of 2014, which reduced penalties for theft and other crimes.
Opponents of Proposition 47 announced last week that they have enough signatures to qualify reforms to the measure for the November 2024 ballot.

The Climate-Alarmist Movement Has A Big PR Problem On Its Hands
David Blackmon
Apr 25, 2024
A colleague suggested that we simply change the problematic label to “Stone Age,” since that is where we are heading if the alarmists continue to get their way.
The whole “net-zero by 2050” narrative that cranked up in earnest in early 2021 has now become a public relations problem for the climate-alarm movement, according to a senior official at the United Nations.
Chris Stark, the outgoing chief executive of the UN’s Climate Change Committee (CCC), said as reported by the Guardian: “Net zero has definitely become a slogan that I feel occasionally is now unhelpful, because it’s so associated with the campaigns against it. That wasn’t something I expected.”
As seems to always be the case among the globalist sponsors of this government-subsidized rush to saddle the world with unreliable power grids and short-range electric cars, the conversation among the leaders of the movement immediately moves not to perhaps reconsidering the approach to address public concerns, but to rejiggering the narrative. Stark recommends shifting the label and the narrative to more of a focus on investment and how renewables and EVs somehow improve energy security.
“We are talking about cleaning up the economy and making it more productive – you can call that anything you like,” he said.
That would be a neat trick, inventing a narrative about benefits that don’t really exist. But it wouldn’t be the first time it’s been tried.
At last November’s COP 28 conference, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres floated the term “climate collapse” as a new name for what the climate alarmists have successively called “global warming,” “climate change,” “climate crisis,” and “climate emergency.” Each successive label has been replaced as its cache’ with the public has faded; and apparently the whole “climate emergency” has lost its punch, so another fright narrative must be concocted.
The trouble there, of course, is that the climate is not collapsing. But then again, it isn’t in any sort of an emergency, either, or a crisis.
The climate is always changing, though, so at least the long-abandoned “climate change” label had the ring of truth to it. Maybe let’s go back to that and try to deal with something that is at least a real thing? But, no, that would cut down on the alarm and make it harder for political leaders to enact bad “solutions” and subsidize them with debt combined with skyrocketing utility bills for average citizens.
So, as Stark says, call it anything you want, just so long as it is alarming. Stark’s boss at the UN, Guterres, used the term “global boiling” to describe the current climate situation. So, maybe we change “net-zero by 2050” to “no bubbles by 2050.” That would at least have the advantage of some semblance of consistent thought.
A colleague suggested that we simply change the problematic label to “Stone Age,” since that is where we are heading if the alarmists continue to get their way. She has a point.
The most amazing thing about Stark’s concerns is that anyone is really surprised that “net-zero by 2050” has become a problematic term. How else would officials at the UN and other governments expect the public to react to what has become the umbrella label for a set of authoritarian government actions that have destabilized power grids, caused the cost of living to rise rapidly, reduced consumer choice, and begun to rob citizens in nominally “free” countries of their individual rights?
The central problem today with this climate change narrative is that it has gone on for so long that is has become a bit of a joke with an increasingly aware and skeptical public.

Ain't that the truth!
The Climate-Alarmist Movement Has A Big PR Problem On Its Hands
David Blackmon
Apr 25, 2024
A colleague suggested that we simply change the problematic label to “Stone Age,” since that is where we are heading if the alarmists continue to get their way.
The whole “net-zero by 2050” narrative that cranked up in earnest in early 2021 has now become a public relations problem for the climate-alarm movement, according to a senior official at the United Nations.
Chris Stark, the outgoing chief executive of the UN’s Climate Change Committee (CCC), said as reported by the Guardian: “Net zero has definitely become a slogan that I feel occasionally is now unhelpful, because it’s so associated with the campaigns against it. That wasn’t something I expected.”
As seems to always be the case among the globalist sponsors of this government-subsidized rush to saddle the world with unreliable power grids and short-range electric cars, the conversation among the leaders of the movement immediately moves not to perhaps reconsidering the approach to address public concerns, but to rejiggering the narrative. Stark recommends shifting the label and the narrative to more of a focus on investment and how renewables and EVs somehow improve energy security.
“We are talking about cleaning up the economy and making it more productive – you can call that anything you like,” he said.
That would be a neat trick, inventing a narrative about benefits that don’t really exist. But it wouldn’t be the first time it’s been tried.
At last November’s COP 28 conference, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres floated the term “climate collapse” as a new name for what the climate alarmists have successively called “global warming,” “climate change,” “climate crisis,” and “climate emergency.” Each successive label has been replaced as its cache’ with the public has faded; and apparently the whole “climate emergency” has lost its punch, so another fright narrative must be concocted.
The trouble there, of course, is that the climate is not collapsing. But then again, it isn’t in any sort of an emergency, either, or a crisis.
The climate is always changing, though, so at least the long-abandoned “climate change” label had the ring of truth to it. Maybe let’s go back to that and try to deal with something that is at least a real thing? But, no, that would cut down on the alarm and make it harder for political leaders to enact bad “solutions” and subsidize them with debt combined with skyrocketing utility bills for average citizens.
So, as Stark says, call it anything you want, just so long as it is alarming. Stark’s boss at the UN, Guterres, used the term “global boiling” to describe the current climate situation. So, maybe we change “net-zero by 2050” to “no bubbles by 2050.” That would at least have the advantage of some semblance of consistent thought.
A colleague suggested that we simply change the problematic label to “Stone Age,” since that is where we are heading if the alarmists continue to get their way. She has a point.
The most amazing thing about Stark’s concerns is that anyone is really surprised that “net-zero by 2050” has become a problematic term. How else would officials at the UN and other governments expect the public to react to what has become the umbrella label for a set of authoritarian government actions that have destabilized power grids, caused the cost of living to rise rapidly, reduced consumer choice, and begun to rob citizens in nominally “free” countries of their individual rights?
The central problem today with this climate change narrative is that it has gone on for so long that is has become a bit of a joke with an increasingly aware and skeptical public. And the reason they’re skeptical is not due to any disbelief in science, as the alarmists invariably claim, but because they have seen nothing but bad outcomes and personal deprivations from the alleged solutions being subsidized into existence.
Stark assures us that, “the lifestyle change that goes with this is not enormous at all,” but painful results to date tell another story.
If Stark were truly thoughtful and serious about wanting to deal with the increasing unpopularity of the “net-zero by 2050” construct, he would suggest that everyone take a step back and re-evaluate the nature and effectiveness of the solutions being pushed.

Have You Been Using Fake Honey?
If you think honey is your health’s ally, today’s article might come as a shock to you.
Do you know those little plastic honey bear recipients on supermarket shelves?
They might contain nothing but high-fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors and colors, industrial-grade glucose, and other horrifying compounds that could be damaging your internal organs.
I had to learn that the hard way…
Why Picking the Right Honey Is Important for Your Health
In 2018 I was in constant pain.
I barely ate. I used to stay up all night long searching for an answer, but to no avail.
I went to the doctor’s office and he told me I was fine, that it was some sort of ghost-pain… All I got was a recommendation to go on Tylenol.
But one day, as I was reading Dr. Nicole Apelian’s Holistic Guide to Wellness, I came across this paragraph:Have You Been Using Fake Honey
That’s when everything clicked. Could the inflammation I had be caused by the honey I was eating?
Was I using the wrong kind of honey?
And I had it in my tea, my coffee…. I was buying it from a store that’s part of the the largest American chain of supermarkets, so I had to look it up, even though the label mentioned honey as the only ingredient.
I found that the brand I was using was shown to have elevated levels of the toxic compound Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) — which is associated with cancer.
This toxin is generally absent in fresh honey, but it forms through heating, conditioning and storage. So this honey that I’ve been taking for years now was not only devoid of all its benefits, but it was also loaded with the HMF compound.
That set off my alarm bells. I immediately threw out all the honey I had already bought.
Once I had stopped using it, the pain subsequently went away.
But I was among the lucky ones – often, consuming fake honey could lead to worse things…
How to Tell if Are You Using Fake Honey
To boost profits, some producers may add various substances to highly processed honey to improve its appearance, taste, or shelf-life.
Improperly processed or low-quality commercial honey may also contain contaminants like pesticides or heavy metals, which can lead to neurological issues, kidney damage, and other serious diseases.
Consuming fake honey contributes to insulin resistance over time, making it challenging for individuals to successfully regulate blood sugar levels and contributing to an increased risk of cardiovascular issues.
This is why the best type of honey that you should always use is raw honey.
Always make sure you purchase from trusted producers. You can visit farmers’ markets, talk to local beekeepers, and you can choose to support them if you have the means to do so. Local beekeepers prioritize the wellbeing of their bees, and thus their bees produce high-quality honey.
Another great choice is Manuka Honey, but that is more on the expensive side.
To make sure you’re not using fake or adulterated honey, you can always do the water dissolution test. If you add honey to a glass of water and it just sits at the bottom of your glass, your honey is safe for use. If the honey starts dissolving quickly, you should throw it away.
But even after you’ve made sure the honey you take is the real kind, it’s still missing something.
To maximize its healing potential, you should start combining it with other ingredients. I would like to share just 5 of my favorite herbs and spices I now add to my honey.
The Root That Can Help Every Organ in Your Body
During the colder months, it’s a good idea to consider including ginger in your diet. Winter tends to bring an increased risk of colds and the flu, so taking ginger can help boost your immune system.
Among the many health benefits of ginger are also its digestive aid, anti-inflammatory effects, and respiratory health support.
The Ancient Root That Fights Infections for You (It’s Not What You Expect)
The use of Turmeric dates back 3000 years ago, but people still don’t know how to properly use it.
It aids in reducing internal inflammation and increasing the antioxidant capacity of your body, thus helping to inhibit cancer cells.
However, curcumin has low bioavailability, which means the body absorbs and utilizes it poorly. The next ingredient on this list is essential if you want to take advantage of all the health benefits that turmeric has.
You Should Never Use Turmeric Without This
Turmeric is almost useless without Black Pepper.
This combination of piperine and curcumin works synergistically to make turmeric more effective for you.
Black pepper is rich in vitamin B6, which is essential for your mental health during these months. It boosts the production of serotonin and dopamine naturally, fighting the ”winter blues”.
Increasing Black Pepper consumption can also detox your body. As this season often brings an increase in sugary and starchy comfort foods, Black Pepper can contribute to better digestion, and enhanced nutrient absorption.
Why Should Seniors Consume Cinnamon?
Cinnamon has antimicrobial properties and is rich in antioxidants. These properties can support your immune system, helping to defend your body against the cold and flu.
Cinnamaldehyde, the active compound in cinnamon, has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. So adding a dash of cinnamon to your morning coffee or tea can help preserve brain function and slow the cognitive impairment process associated with Alzheimer’s Disease.
Anti-Inflammatory Spiced Honey
Ingredients
1 cup raw honey
2 tsp. of fresh ginger
2 tsp. of turmeric powder
A pinch of black pepper
2 tsp. of ground cinnamon

NBC Poll: In 21-Point Reversal, Trump More 'Competent' Than Biden
By James Morley III | Wednesday, 24 April 2024 07:06 PM EDT
Registered voters find former President Donald Trump more "competent" and "effective" than President Joe Biden, an increase of almost 21 points from 2020, according to a recent NBC News poll.
The findings are complete inverse of when NBC asked voters the same question four years ago according to NBC News anchor Kristen Welker. Speaking to Steve Kornacki, an analyst with NBC News, she said, "We actually polled this question in 2020. And it was basically the exact opposite. It was Biden with about a 10-point advantage over Trump."
The poll shows 47% of voters viewing Trump as more "competent" and "effective" compared to only 36% for Biden. "That was President Biden’s, the crux of his campaign pitch back in 2020," Welker noted.
Kornacki illustrated the unique match up of a former President competing against a current President in that voters have a clear perception of leadership ability. The poll also noted voters prefer Trump by 4 points over Biden when it comes handling crisis.
"Now we can measure who has the strong record as president and again, Trump outpacing Biden on that front," Kornacki said. "And again, you got to mention this one too, mental and physical health. We asked this four years ago, it was a wash. It’s now a clear liability for Joe Biden. So these are all troubling numbers for Biden."
The poll showed 45% of voters viewing Trump as having the necessary mental and physical health to perform the tasks of president, compared to only 26% for Biden.
NBC News sampled 1,000 registered voters from April 12-16 with a 3.1% margin of error.

White House visitor logs contradict Biden spokesman's vow to ban DC official who praised notorious antisemite
'I love you more than words will ever say,' Cora Masters Barry told Louis Farrakhan
Thomas Catenacci By Thomas Catenacci , Cameron Cawthorne
Published April 24, 2024 4:00am EDT
An official in the Suffolk County District Attorney's office was placed on leave after revelations he made antisemitic comments in a 2016 podcast interview.
FIRST ON FOX: A Washington, D.C., official has visited the White House twice since a spokesperson for President Biden said she wouldn't be invited back after she praised noted antisemite Louis Farrakhan, Fox News Digital has learned.
Cora Masters Barry, who was appointed CEO of the city's Recreation Wish List Committee, delivered remarks in mid-2022 praising Farrakhan as a "friend" and "member of the family," adding, "I love you more than words will ever say."
Shortly after her comments, White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates condemned Farrakhan and said Barry would not ever be invited back to the White House.
"The president has unequivocally condemned Louis Farrakhan and the hate he represents for decades and co-sponsored bipartisan legislation doing so," Bates told Fox News Digital. "He also denounces any praise of Louis Farrakhan or his repugnant, antisemitic values, including in this case."
However, according to a Fox News Digital review of visitor logs, Barry returned to the White House in June 2023 and again in December 2023.
The first visit, on June 13, 2023, appears to have been for a Juneteenth concert on the White House South Lawn, where Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris both delivered remarks. The purpose of her second visit, on Dec. 14, 2023, remains unclear, though it appears she attended an evening reception alongside hundreds of other invitees.
The White House and Barry didn't respond to requests for comment.
Washington, D.C.Mayor Muriel Bowser appointed Barry to her current position, saying in 2021 that she was "grateful for women" like Barry. Bowser notably stood by Barry after City Council Chairman Phil Mendelson moved to block her from serving on the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities.
Overall, Barry, who donated $500 each to Biden's presidential campaign and the Biden Victory Fund, according to federal filings, has visited the White House at least six times since Biden took office.
Barry previously received criticism for her comments attacking white women and compared supporters of former President Trump to the Ku Klux Klan.
Her praise for Farrakhan, who leads the Nation of Islam religious group, was uttered during a private event in October 2022 honoring her late husband, former Washington, D.C., Mayor Marion Barry.
Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam have been heavily criticized by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which was founded to stop the defamation of Jewish people, and by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). The ADL has called Farrakhan "one of the most prominent antisemites," and SPLC has classified the Nation of Islam as a hate group.
The White House has repeatedly reaffirmed that the president has disavowed Farrakhan, though the most recent public example appears to be a Senate floor speech Biden delivered four decades ago, in 1984.
The Nation of Islam didn't respond to a request for comment.
