Nikki Haley’s campaign has attempted to land a blow of FloridaGovernor Ron DeSantis just days before he is due to officially enter the race for the Republican nomination. Haley, the neoconservative former UN Ambassador said in a memo released to POLITICO: “Ron DeSantis is like Trump, drama and all – but without any of the charm.”
Haley’s campaign manager argued in the memo, “DeSantis is echoing Trump on everything from policy to his body language and hand gestures,” but argues: “[t]he glaring difference between the two is DeSantis’ inability to interact directly with voters. The last several months have been filled with brutal headlines about his lack of basic people skills.”

A majority of likely U.S. voters – 59 percent – believe the media are ‘truly the enemy of the people,’ according to a recent survey by Rasmussen Reports. The quote is taken from a 2019 Donald Trump tweet.
The press is doing everything within their power to fight the magnificence of the phrase, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! They can’t stand the fact that this Administration has done more than virtually any other Administration in its first 2yrs. They are truly the ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!
The majority includes 35 percent who “strongly agree” with the statement and another 24 percent who “somewhat agree.”
A whopping 77 percent of Republicans agree with the statement, with 49 percent strongly agreeing. Only 20 percent disagree.
Almost half of Democrats – 44 percent – agree with the statement, with 24 percent strongly agreeing.
Trust in Media.
Rasmussen Reports also asked the 1,002 likely voters: “Do you trust the political news you are getting?”
The majority of American voters – 52 percent – answered “[n]o” to the question.
Almost two-thirds of Republicans are untrusting of the media – 65 percent. Democrats, too, are varied, with 35 percent answering “[n]o” and another 21 percent answering “[n]ot sure.”
Only 30 percent of the electorate answered “Yes,” with less than a quarter of Republicans – 22 percent – trusting the media and less than half of Democrats – 44 percent.
Coverage Bias.
Lastly, Rasmussen Reports asked: “Does the media coverage of politics generally tend to favor Democrats or Republicans.”
The majority of Americans – 52 percent – believe that the media’s coverage favors the Democrats, with 66 percent of Republicans and even 39 percent of Democrats concurring.
Neither Democrats nor Republicans believe that media coverage favors the GOP: only 21 percent of Democrats and 23 percent of Republicans thought otherwise.

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump both spent around 250 days away from the White House during their first terms; however, unlike Trump, Biden has spent nearly a month alone staying at the homes of his donors, reportsThe Washington Post.
Biden has spent large amounts of time as president at private properties “receiving favors from wealthy allies,” argues Phillip Bump.
At the end of 2022, he spent time at the home of Bill and Connie Neville, who donated $10,000 during Biden’s 2020 campaign as well as other Democrats such as Kirsten Gillibrand, Tommy Tuberville, Chuck Schumer, Mike Crapo, and Joe Manchin.
Biden also stayed at billionaire David Rubenstein’s $30 million Martha’s Vineyard compound twice during his presidency, including last Thanksgiving.
Last year, Biden vacationed at another $20 million South Carolina estate owned by Maria Allwin, who has previously donated to Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Kamala Harris. Allwin even donated $5,800 to the virulent anti-Trumper Liz Cheney, who was competing against Trump’s preferred nominee for the Wyoming House of Representatives, Harriet Hageman.
The vast majority of Trump’s vacation time, on the other hand, was spent at his own properties, playing golf or dining with club members, where “[h]is interactions with Mar-a-Lago customers in that facility’s dining room became the stuff of presidential legend,” states Bump.

The Ford Motor Company is remonstrating against people highlighting their ‘Very Gay Raptor’ campaign, with the firm insisting “[t]he video is a year old,” as some kind of excuse for what customers see as another “woke” incursion into corporate America.
“[The video] was created and used by the Ford team in Europe for a specific purpose – to make something positive out of a negative online comment that a color of our new Ranger Raptor pickup was ‘very gay,’” the spokesman told Reuters, which felt the need to dedicate a “fact-check” to the subject.
The video, in fact, just turned 11 months old, and the vehicle was featured in at least seven videos.

Writer E. Jean Carroll has filed yet another claim against former President Donald Trump, seeking $10 million more in compensatory damages for remarks made during a recent CNN town hall.
Trump, currently on the hook for $5m to Carroll, called the whack job a “whack job” during his interview with CNN and said that her accusations were “fake” and a “made-up story.”
Carroll’s #MeToo attorney, Robert Kaplan, filed the lawsuit on Monday, May 22, announcing that Carroll would be seeking “very substantial punitive damages award” for Trump’s comments.
Trump’s comments “show the depth of his malice toward Carroll, since it is hard to imagine defamatory conduct that could possibly be more motivated by hatred, ill will or spite,” Kaplan added.
Carroll, whose allegations against Trump are notably similar to a subplot of a Law and Order episode that aired in late 2012 and who has previously written about having sex with the former President seven years before her allegations were made public, toldThe New York Times regarding his rebuttal of the allegations: “It’s just stupid, it’s just disgusting, vile, foul, it wounds people.”
The political persecution of Donald Trump will also continue today as he is due to appear in court by video for his second hearing in the Melvin Bragg criminal case.
UPDATE: TRUMP ISSUES STATEMENT.
Donald Trump posted to his Truth social channel on Tuesday morning: “I don’t know E. Jean Carroll, I never met her or touched her (except on a celebrity line with her African American husband who she disgustingly called the “Ape,”), I wouldn’t want to know or touch her, I never abused her or raped her or took her to a dressing room 25 years ago in a crowded department store where the doors are LOCKED, she has no idea when, or did anything else to her, except deny her Fake, Made Up Story, that she wrote in a book. IT NEVER HAPPENED, IS A TOTAL SCAM, UNFAIR TRIAL!”
The former President went on: “The Carroll case is part of the Democrats playbook to tarnish my name and person, much like the now fully debunked Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, the 51 Intelligence Agents, FBI/Twitter Files, and so much more. It is being funded and tried by Democrat operatives, although this was denied by them, and when they got caught in the lie, the Clinton appointed judge would not let us use it in trial. Time will prove him to be highly partisan & very unfair. Where’s the dress she said she had?”

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has ditched Florida – specifically, removing the “FL” part of his social media username “RonDeSantisFL”. His account is now simply “RonDeSantis”.
It’s not clear why the Governor’s social media team felt they needed to remove the reference to his tenure as the governor of the Sunshine State, not least because the Florida legislature just passed controversial legislation changes so that he could technically remain Governor in name only while mounting a run for the White House.
DeSantis is expected to declare his official candidacy in the next few days, though he has been “shadow-campaigning” since January 2022, before he was even re-elected to the governor’s mansion in Tallahassee.
The removal of his Florida moniker on Twitter has already rankled locals, who believed they were electing him for a full second term. While he’s out campaigning during primary season, the state will be run by Lt. Gov. Jeanette Nunez, who has referred to former President Donald Trump as a KKK supporter and “con-man.”

Seniors in Joe Biden’s hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania believe he no longer has what it takes to govern, suspecting age may have blunted whatever mental edge he once possessed.
The Messenger, a new, corporate-backed outlet, interviewed “more than two dozen” seniors in the Democrat stronghold, finding some who think his age is not an issue “as long as his mind is clear” – a rather big “if” – and plenty who think it is time for the 80-year-old to hang up his gloves.
“He’s making a good front and everything, but I just don’t think he has the capabilities anymore,” said Barbara Petroski, a former executive secretary even older than Biden, at 86.
Petroski voted for Biden in 2020, but thinks he does not have enough in the tank to last through another term: “[F]our more years? I just don’t think he’s going to have the brain power.”
In fairness to seniors who do not wish to be tarred with the same cognitive decline brush as Biden – “Don’t compare me with him,” one 82-year-old told The Messenger – his “brain power” was in question long before he reached advanced old age.
In his first run at the presidency as a (comparatively) young Senator in the late 1980s, he made a number of bizarre statements about his IQ to the press, boasting that he graduated from the Syracuse College of Law near the top of his class with three degrees and was named Outstanding Student in the political science department.
In fact, he graduated 76th out of a class of 85, did not earn three degrees, and was not named Outstanding Student – revelations which forced him to issue a humiliating apology and buried his presidential hopes for some 20 years, when he embarked on a second failed run at the White House and wound up playing second fiddle to Barack Obama.

Former President Donald J. Trump has dropped a whopping $3.8Bn law suit on the Washington Post following their report that linked his Truth Social platform to a “porn friendly” bank.
The lawsuit alleges WaPo “published an egregious hit piece that falsely accused TMTG of securities fraud and other wrongdoing” and “has been on a years-long crusade against TMTG characterized by the concealment of relevant information in its possession.”
“WaPo’s false criminal charges exposed TMTG to public ridicule, contempt and distrust, and injured TMTG’s business and reputation,” the suit said.
The Washington Post has focused heavily on attempting to discredit Truth Social, even going so far as to ridicule its own source – a former Trump business junior by the name of Will Wilkerson – who they disclosed now works as a barista at Starbucks.

A majority of Americans now believe that Trump’s alleged Russian collusion during the 2016 presidential campaign, alongside the Steele dossier, are ‘false stories’ according to a recent poll conducted by Harvard Caps Harris.
More than half of Americans – 56 percent – believe that Trump working in concert with Russia was a lie. Another 56 percent also believe that the Steele dossier was untrue, but 44 percent still believe it. Still, that’s a marked shift from 2020, when 53 percent said they believed it to be real.
The 44 percent still convinced, despite the Durham report’s findings, are predominantly Democrats in their political affiliation. Seventy percent of Dems still believe the Russian collusion narrative.
Democrat opinions have scarcely changed regarding the Steele dossier as, according to the Harvard-Harris poll in April 2020, 77 percent believed it was true.
Despite this, an astonishing 69 percent of Americans say they are “not surprised” the “FBI violated its own standards in starting the Trump-Russia probe and became a funnel for disinformation from the Hillary Clinton campaign.”
That includes a majority of Democrats – 55 percent – who answered “not surprised,” with 79 percent of Republicans concurring.

Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News oversees a woke gender regime in which staff are required to share restrooms with colleagues of the opposite sex and submit to their preferred pronouns.
The network – which recently fired the populist-leaning Tucker Carlson – has a company handbook dated January 2021 outlining various pro-transgender policies, making reference to “Workplace Transition Plan[s]” for transgender employees.
Fox employees are required to use the preferred pronouns of trans colleagues, with biologically male “transwomen” given full access to the bathrooms of natural-born women.
The Daily Signal notes some of these concessions are required under the New York City Human Rights Law – but the Fox handbook appears to go much further than necessary, with its pages being filled with “a slew of LGBTQ terms, including cisgender, gender expression, gender-fluid, gender identity, gender non-conforming, [and] non-binary,” and boasting of the company’s commitment to “expanding and strengthening… a more inclusive work environment.”
“Employees who are transitioning their gender have the right to be open about their transition if they so choose, and to work in an environment free of harassment, discrimination, or retaliation, and without fear of consequences or transphobia for living openly,” the handbook declares.
“They want you to think it’s this place that supports traditionally conservative values, but in reality, they’re pushing this nonsense behind the scenes,” a source described as a former Tucker Carlson Tonight producer said of Fox in comments to the Signal.
“Fox News devotes hours of programming to attacking ‘woke companies,’ but ironically Fox is as woke as the rest of them,” another ex-Fox source said.
