DATA: Most Americans Agree That Obama is Running Biden’s White House.

Most voters believe former President Barack Hussein Obama — not Joe Biden — is currently running the U.S. federal government. New data from Rasmussen Reports indicates 53 percent of voters agree Biden is “a puppet for a progressive left committee… headed by Obama.”

Former President Donald Trump has frequently accused Obama of serving a third term in office through Biden. Trump has often substituted “Obama” for “Biden” during campaign speeches to illustrate the point to voters, leading to confusion amongst Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s online operatives.

Voter concerns that former Obama is exercising undue influence over the Biden White House aren’t unfounded. The National Pulse previously reported that the former Democrat President has at least spearheaded Biden’s A.I. policy agenda. Obama coordinated with Big Tech and West Wing officials on Biden’s behalf as he pieced together an executive order on A.I. The order sets the groundwork for federal oversight of and funding of the technology and authorizes new government hires.

In the past, Obama has mused about serving a third term in office. During a 2016 podcast interview with his former senior advisor David Axelrod, Obama said he believes he could have won a third term in 2016. “I am confident in this vision because I’m confident that if I had run again and articulated it, I think I could’ve mobilized a majority of the American people to rally behind it,” he said.

During an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in 2020, Obama said he’d be fine with an arrangement where “I was just in my basement in my sweats looking through the stuff” and used an earpiece to “deliver the lines, but somebody else was doing all the talking and ceremony.”

‘Zuckerbucks’ Group Begins Interfering in 2024 Election.

The Mark Zuckerberg-funded Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), which spent tens of millions of dollars boosting turnout in Democrat districts in 2020, is moving to help election officials secure Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grants ahead of the 2024 election. FEMA’s Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) fund includes $701 million in competitive grants, ostensibly to protect public infrastructure against hazards such as floods  — but the CTCL says it can also be used to “improve elections operations” as “elections are a critical service.”

The CTCL is leading a webinar series, starting January 25th, to help election officials apply for the FEMA grants and provide “inspiration for what the grant funds can be used for.” Previously, the CTCL used “Zuckerbucks” from the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative to fund supposedly nonpartisan projects in collaboration with local officials to increase turnout.

These projects overwhelmingly benefited Democrat-leaning areas. Phillip Kline of the Amistad Project argues the spending was, therefore, illegal, as it resulted in some voters having more opportunities to vote and have their votes counted than others.

“[W] e’ve privatized our elections, that’s the problem,” Kline said of the involvement of actors like the CTCL in elections earlier this month.

“We have private resources in election offices… America’s been kicked out of the counting room, nonprofits, and billionaires have been invited in,” added the former Kansas Attorney General.

German Farmer Rebellion Forces Govt to Negotiate After Thousands of Tractors Shut Down Capital.

The rebellion by farmers against tax hikes and subsidy cuts in Germany closed down Berlin on Monday, as an estimated 10,000 farmers and 5,000 tractors descended on the capital and blockaded key roads. Now, the farmers have temporarily suspended their protests, forcing the government to negotiate.

The German government, a globalist coalition between the Social Democrats, Greens, and neoliberal Free Democrats, was already forced to water down some of its policies. Finance Minister Christian Lindner even attended a farmer rally earlier this week to parlay with the protestors, crushed by bureaucracy, net-zero climate policies, and the sanctions war with Russia even before the tax and subsidy changes.

Farmers’ Union leader Joachim Rukwied recommended against jeering Linder. Still, many attendees were unwilling to be placated: “For me, the government must resign. They are no longer capable of leading us,” one 73-year-old dairy farmer told reporters.

Chants of “liar” and “get lost” were taken up as the minister addressed the crowds.

Germany’s government and state media are painting the farmer protests as instruments of the so-called far-right, including the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. The AfD achieved historic election victories recently and now enjoys close to the same level of support in national polls as Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Social Democrats.

Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck, a Green politician, previously claimed that “[c]alls are circulating with coup fantasies, extremist groups are forming and ethnic-nationalist symbols are being openly displayed.”

Chancellor Sholz has praised leftist protestors who have also “taken to the streets all over Germany against racism and rabble-rousing” this week.

Despite government claims that its anti-farmer policies are necessary to bring spending under control, it is simultaneously doubling military aid to Ukraine to €8 billion (~$8.7 billion). Around €50 billion (~$54.3 billion) is being spent on migrants.

Dem Congressman Tells Govt to Print $14 TRILLION & Let Criminals Vote as ‘Reparations’.

Congressman Jamaal Bowman, who recently pleaded guilty to pulling a fire alarm in Congress during a budget debate, wants the government to print $14 trillion for black Americans and give prisoners and felons the vote as a form of “reparations” for slavery.

Rep. Bowman suggested that “[w]hen COVID was destroying us, we invested in the American people in a way that kept the economy afloat,” and so the government could “invest the same way in reparations without raising taxes on anyone.”

“Where did the money come from? We spent it into existence,” Bowman said.

“The economy wouldn’t exist in the way it does today if slavery hadn’t built it,” Bowman argued.

The Democrat also believes the “incarcerated should be able to vote” and ex-prisoners “should automatically be enfranchised” as a form of reparations, as black people account for a disproportionate share of the prison population.

Trump Leads Biden in ANOTHER National Poll, While DeSantis Sinks to Just 7%

Donald Trump is leading Joe Biden in another national poll, by 52 percent to 48 percent, as the elderly Democrat’s approval rating plummets to an almost 20-year low. Trump also dominates the GOP primary field, with a 59-point lead over Nimarata ‘Nikki’ Haley and a 65-point lead over Ron DeSantis.

According to the new poll, the 45th President enjoys the support of 72 percent of GOP primary voters from January 16th to January 15th. Haley is in a distant second place, at 13 percent. DeSantis, once considered Trump’s most credible rival, is in single digits at just seven percent.

Trump’s lead over Biden among independents is even stronger than his overall lead, at 46 percent support versus 35 percent.

When third-party candidates are included, Trump’s advantage over Biden shrinks only slightly, from four to three points.

Democrat-turned-independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. leads among the also-rans, on 11 percent, while far-left candidates Jill Stein and Cornel West each pick up two percent.

Biden Campaign Plans Rallies, Op-Eds, TV Ads to Demand Mass Murder of American Babies.

The Joe Biden campaign plans to put abortion “at the forefront of its reelection campaign,” vowing to “restore” Roe v. Wade and the “reproductive freedom” to kill unborn children with few or no restrictions.

Pro-abortion television and digital ads are planned for around January 22nd, the anniversary the Roe‘s ruling in 1973. Rallies featuring the President, the Vice President, and their spouses are also planned.

“Trump directly paved the way for Republican extremists across the country to enact draconian bans that are hurting women and threatening doctors,” said Biden-Harris campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez, acknowledging Trump should be credited for the pro-life advances since Roe v. Wade was overturned. Within six months of Roe being overturned, an estimated 32,000 babies’ lives had been saved by Trump and the Supreme Court Justices’ actions.

Trump has long argued that Democrats, rather than Republicans, are the extremists on abortion, condemning state lawmakers for having “cheered with delight upon the passage of legislation that would allow a baby to be ripped from the mother’s womb moments before birth” during one of his State of the Union speeches.

Washington D.C., Colorado, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, and Vermont, all run by Democrats, allow abortion up to birth, along with Republican-run Alaska.

BlackRock Chief: 2nd Trump Term Pushes Europe Away from Dependency on US or China.

Philipp Hildebrand, vice chairman of the nine-trillion-dollar asset management firm BlackRock, says Donald Trump’s reelection in 2024 could help the European Union learn to stand on its own feet.

Hildebrand made the remarks at the World Economic Forum (WEF) summit in Davos, Switzerland, when asked if he agreed with European Central Bank (ECB) chief Christine Lagarde that Trump is “clearly a threat” to the EU.

“Christine speaks for herself. I think the flip side of it is that this is perhaps also a wake-up call for Europe,” said Hildebrand, suggesting a second Trump administration might prompt the EU to decide whether it wants “to be a kind of independent sovereign” or to have “great dependencies, whether on China or on the U.S.”

“I see it as an opportunity for the construction of Europe,” he continued. “Clearly, if [Trump’s election] were to lead to a rupture, which I think is what President Lagarde has in mind as a risk, then that would challenge Europe fundamentally.”

He was particularly critical of the EU’s weakness in the field of defense, despite having a significantly larger combined economy and population than the U.S.

Audio Reveals SecDef Austin Staff Tried to Hide Medical Issue, Asked Ambulance to Turn Off Lights, Sirens.

An audio recording obtained by The Daily Beast suggests that at least one close aid to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin conspired with Austin to hide his condition from the White House and the public at large. In the recording, taken of the January 1 911 call Austin’s aid made on his boss’s behalf, the aid can be heard urging responding authorities to be “subtle” in their response and not to attract attention.

“Can I ask—can the ambulance not show up with lights and sirens? Uhm, we’re trying to remain a little subtle,” the aide said. “Usually when they turn into a residential neighborhood, they’ll turn them off,” a dispatcher assured the aid.

Austin, who was released from the hospital on Monday, has come under fire for hiding his hospitalization following cancer surgery from the proper authorities, including the White House, for days. The Defense Secretary’s behavior has resulted in some, including former President Trump, calling for him to be fired.

Biden Presidential Approval Rating Drops to Near 20-Year Low.

Joe Biden’s presidential approval rating has plummeted to a near 20-year low, according to a new ABC/Ipsos poll.

The Democratic president currently sits at 58 percent disapproval and only 33 percent approval — the worst presidential approval numbers since George W. Bush between 2006 and 2008. The poll also revealed that just 57 percent of voters who lean Democratic would be satisfied with Biden as the Party’s nominee in 2024.

A deeper dive into the poll results sheds some light on why. As the border crisis rages on, only 18 percent of respondents support Biden’s handling of immigration — the lowest number on record since ABC began polling the issue in 2004. Biden is also facing high disapproval numbers due to his mishandling of the economy. Seventy-one percent of those polled said the economy was bad, with nearly half saying they are worse off now economically than when Donald Trump was president. Overall, 56 percent of people disapprove of Biden’s handling of the economy.

President Biden is also hemorrhaging support among younger minority voters. While Biden maintains a 65 percent approval rating among Black people aged 50 and up, he has only a 32 percent approval rating among Black people younger than 50. His approval rating with Black people in general is 21 points below average, and among Hispanic people, it is 15 points below average, according to the poll. Biden has also seen women abandon him. Although he received the vote of 57 percent of women in 2020, he now only has the approval of 31 percent.

Poland’s New, Gay Deputy Justice Minister Announces Laws Banning ‘Hate Speech’ Against Gays and Transgenders.

Poland’s new deputy justice minister, a gay activist, has announced new laws outlawing “hate speech” on the basis of sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, and disability.

Krzysztof Śmiszek says the “hate speech” regulations will be finalized by the end of February. The populist Konfederacja (Confederation) party has expressed grave misgivings about the planned speech restrictions, which were included in the coalition agreement between the three globalist political alliances that have combined to govern Poland.

“In practice, this means nothing more than criminal prosecution for expressing views that are inconsistent with a specific ideology that is close to the new coalition,” warned Konfederacja politician Konrad Berkowicz.

“This is obvious censorship, an obvious attack on freedom of speech and obvious, creeping totalitarianism,” he added.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk is moving swiftly to completely undo the legacy of the previous conservative government, which governed Poland from 2015 to late last year. Not only have illegal aliens formerly turned away at the previous government’s border wall been invited to meet the Speaker, but conservatives working for state media have also been fired en masse, and former government ministers have been jailed and expelled from the legislature.

The process has been lawless, with the new government ignoring the Constitutional Tribunal, Supreme Court judges it disagrees with, and presidential pardons to implement its agenda. Nevertheless, President Joe Biden and his ambassador in Warsaw have signaled their approval of the regime.
