A Harvard-Harris poll finds the congressional race deadlocked at 50-50:

🚨 WOW! A new poll just found the 2026 Congressional ballot is a near TOSSUP, with Democrats only up 2 points, 46%-44% -- Yale
At this point in 2018, Democrats were up by +7 points or more
Republicans in Congress should pass the SAVE America Act and win the midterms 🇺🇸

The Democrat-aligned Morning Consult poll can only conjure a 3% lead:

🟦Democratic 45% (no change)

Trump's approval rating fell to its lowest point in Trump's second term -- 40.8% according to the Real Clear Politics average of polls -- but that Based Camp guy who looks like a leftist points out that that's actually a good favorability rating for a second-term president. Obama averaged 41% approval during his second term -- and the leftist media continued insisting he was very popular.

I also think that Trump has put a lot of big bets on the table and most of them are going to pay out. So I expect his rating to go higher.

Trump's GOP is holding on to the generational gains they made with Black voters in the 2024 election.

The GOP has gained 12 pts on the Dems on party id with African Americans vs. Trump term 1 at this point.

Trump's approval with Black voters is higher than it was in term 1. pic.twitter.com/EKiEv561jk

21 Presidential approval rating is pretty meaningless at this point because the vast majority of voters are hard or at least soft partisans. The days when Truman could lead to a massive Eisenhower landslide or Nixon and Reagan could win 49 state reelections are long gone.

Heck, even in 2008 the lightbringer couldn't match H.W. Bush's numbers from 20 years earlier, and that was at the end of W's Presidency, with everything going wrong and a scumbag as GOP nominee.

Republicans don't fix anything but they don't, generally, make things worse. Democrats make things worse.

The battle is in the Republican primary and understanding that the left has been ascendant for over 100 years. We won't fix the rot in a single election, probably not even in our lifetimes, but we can reverse the trend.

Posted by: I used to have a different nic at May 01, 2026 05:42 PM (ExV1e)

40 Also keep in mind that a working nuclear weapon doesn't have to be miniaturized so as to be deliverable by missile or aircraft. That sure helps, but if Iran could build a crude weapon that fit into a semi truck and manage to smuggle it into Tel Aviv...the results would be equally catastrophic.

The entire "Mike" device (including cryogenic equipment) weighed 82 short tons (74 metric tons). It was housed in a large corrugated-aluminum building, called the shot cab, which was 88 ft (27 m) long, 46 ft (14 m) wide, and 61 ft (19 m) high

The post which I thought was clear but apparently not was response to saying it's worse now than during Reagan. At one time the Dems held the House for four decades. IIRC.

If Germany wants to build the strongest conventional army in Europe, the question inevitably arises: Why? What threat situation is it based on? With whom and against what? The answer cannot be solely military

99 I think this pause or ceasefire with Iran is more of giving us the opportunity to restock our munitions for a final push. The Iranians don't have much to oppose us with so we should slam the IRGC and let the Iranian people handle the rest

Indeed. Further...

The EU has recently accelerated support for Ukraine, approving a €90 billion ($106 billion) loan package in April 2026 for 2026-2027 to bolster its economy and defense. Key support includes the Ukraine Facility providing up to €50 billion (2024–2027), over 2 million rounds of ammunition, and training for over 86,800 soldiers.

Perhaps Germany is also trying to remain at the top of EU defense in the future. I (thought it maters not) would not trust Ukraine, either.

AI Overview: Germany has unveiled a comprehensive, long-term military strategy aiming to establish the strongest conventional army in Europe by 2039, aiming for a total of 460,000 active and reserve personnel. This plan involves massive technological investments, including AI and air defense, to become the "backbone" of European defense and counteract threats.

115 Emerson- April 2026 National Poll: Democrats Hold 10-Point Midterm Advantage over Republicans

I don’t care what anyone else says, I firmly believe the blue wave will successfully take the house, senate or both. Either way, I think a bright future will come no matter what happens.

Just remember, don’t let complacency win. That 10 point advantage is thanks to action being taken. If that lead is to be kept, or even widened, action must continue to be taken.

The Daily Beast: Trump Hit by Devastating Poll as Voters Say They’re Getting Poorer

He. Does. Not. Care. About. Ordinary. Americans. He’s in power now and the Epstein class is raking in money like never before.

Republicans make people poorer. This has been true for at least 40+ years now. Damned idiots are going to kill our entire society.

Trump is speed running this country into the ground. Most of us are suffering as a result. What's worse is that our children will have it even harder. Every person who voted for Trump and the Republicans who blindly enable him are responsible for the mess we're in today.

The pause benefit for Israel was in restocking their Defensive Missile Supplies, I am sure.

While they are dropping bombs at our side, we are most definitely keeping them stocked with offensive ordnance.

Of course, they are now at Full Battery for both. So...
