Democratic strategist David Axelrod has suggested that President Joe Biden should reconsider his reelection plans, citing a recent New York Times/Siena poll showing former President Donald Trump leading in five key states. According to the poll, Trump, the clear frontrunner in GOP polls, is leading in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, and Pennsylvania.
Axelrod, former chief advisor to President Obama, expressed concern about the potential repercussions for the party if Biden, whose team maintains his decision to run is firm, decides to move forward with his campaign. “But the stakes of miscalculation here are too dramatic to ignore,” Axelrod stated on X. He underscored that only President Biden can decide whether to forge ahead with his campaign, a decision Axelrod cautioned requires careful consideration for the best interest of both Biden himself and the country.
Despite this, Axelrod acknowledged that it is late in the game to switch candidates: “I understand that it’s very late to change horses; a lot will happen in the next year that no one can predict.” If Biden remains persistent in his bid for reelection, he will likely secure the Democratic Party’s nomination.

Donald Trump will testify in New York Attorney General Letitia James’s civil fraud trial against him on Monday. In a case which has dragged since 2020, AG James alleges Trump and the Trump Organization, including sons Eric and Donald Jr., of fraudulently misrepresenting Trump’s wealth and property values to secure favorable loan and insurance terms.
Judge Arthur Engoron, who is accused of being politically motivated by the former president, has already decided Trump, his adult sons, and their organization, are liable for fraud. Trump says some of the Obama appointee’s determinations, including a valuation of his Mar-a-Lago estate at just $18 million, are outrageous, particularly as the asking price of a nearby patch of trees is some $150m.
Eric and Donald Trump Jr. testified last week. Ivanka Trump must testify on Wednesday, but claims against her have been dismissed under statute of limitations rules.
Trump was fined $10,000 on October 25th by Engoron for allegedly breaching a gag order, imposed after the former president noted the judge’s clerk has links to leading democrats including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.

Ron DeSantis’s taxpayer-funded Press Secretary Jeremy Redfern has claimed Brexit-campaigner and accredited conservative journalist Raheem Kassam (editor of this site) would be “top of the list” for deportation from the United States if the Governor of Florida were to become President in January 2025. His argument appeared to stem from the fact that Kassam does not support DeSantis for President, as well as mocking his colleagues Christina Pushaw and Brian Griffin on social media.
The anti-free speech stance from one of the Governor’s official spokesmen comes as Trump announced mass deportations for illegal migrants in America, as well as Hamas and radical Islam sympathizers. Nonetheless, DeSantis’s official position now appears to be the removal of conservative journalists who didn’t support him.
Redfern, who once demanded Anthony Fauci be given the presidential Medal of Freedom, took time to solicit agreement from rabid anti-Semite and Trump-world reject Pedro Gonzalez, who replied to Redfern: “He has to go back,” to which Redfern added, “Top of the list.”
Gonzales is of Hispanic extraction, and found himself in hot water earlier this year when anti-Semitic and anti-Black messages were found in his chat history. Gonzales recently said: “not every Jew is problematic, but the sad fact is that most are,” adding, “The only tactical considertation [sic] of Jews is screening them for movements… But that is not something for open discussion.”
The messages were extensive, as reported by Breitbart News, which left out the number of times Gonzales also wrote “n*gga” or variants in his chats with friends.
The news also comes a week after former DeSantis ally Randy Fineendorsed former President Donald Trump due to the Florida Governor’s failure to combat anti-Semitism in the Sunshine State. Redfern, a friend of known anti-Semite Pedro Gonzales, currently holds one of the top jobs in the Governor’s office.
Kassam was one of the first conservative reporters to interview DeSantis when he was still a Congressman, as well having shared a platform with him at events on Capitol Hill.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called on Donald Trump to visit Ukraine after the former President claimed he would end the war between Ukraine and Russia within 24 hours of re-entering the White House in January 2025.
“Former President Trump said that [within] 24 hours he can manage it and finish the war, for me… he’s very welcome first of all… So I invite President Trump, if he can come here, I will need 24 minutes… not more, to explain to President Trump that he can’t manage this war,” the Ukrainian President explained.
“He can’t bring peace because of Putin if he’s not trying, if he’s not ready to give our territory to this terrible man,” Zelensky added before going on to emphasize the necessity of further U.S. aid and flagging the importance of the next year in combating Russian invasion. He argued that the cost of support would diminish following the upcoming year, assuming the conflict does not extend further.
Zelensky also praised President Biden for his visit in February on the first year anniversary of the conflict, while assuring that the country will not surrender its independence. Zelensky wrapped up his plea to the American public by saying: “Don’t send your soldiers…believe in democracy, believe in Ukraine”.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is likely to receive a polling bump of four percent or less – i.e. within the margin of error – on the back of Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds’s expected endorsement this week. Reynolds, who had originally pledged to remain “neutral” in the race, is being wheeled out as the Florida Governor continues to struggle in battleground states and indeed with his online operation spiraling out of control.
But Reynolds is one of the leastliked Republican governors in the country right now, and pollster Tony Fabrizio has previously pointed out how an endorsement from Reynolds will mean very little to Iowans ahead of the caucuses in January. The same, Fabrizio notes, applies to New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu, who DeSantis has spent months wooing.
“When Ron DeSantis finally realizes he can’t win Iowa or New Hampshire on his own merits, he’ll look to his fellow governors as a lifeline… However, what he doesn’t realize is that their endorsements do nothing to change his fortunes. DeSantis is in a house of mirrors, and the only way out is through the floor,” Fabrizio told The Messenger in September.
DeSantis has made numerous attempts to cozy up to both Governors, including suggesting he would nominate Reynolds as his Vice President and recently touring New Hampshire alongside Sununu.
Critics have also noted that there are two critical gubernatorial races on Tuesday – in Kentucky and Mississippi – yet Reynolds, who serves as the Chairman of the Republican Governor’s Association, will snub those races and instead campaign alongside Ron DeSantis.

President Donald J. Trump is storming ahead of Joe Biden in five of six key swing states just 12 months before the 2024 presidential election, with the 45th President predicted to obtain more than 300 Electoral College votes: way above the necessary 270 to win, new data shows.
Trump, despite his multiple deep-state indictments and attempts to inhibit his re-election run, is leading by 11 points in Nevada, six in Georgia, five in Arizona, five in Michigan, and four in Pennsylvania. Biden leads in Wisconsin by just two points. Across all six, Trump is averaging 48 percent to Biden’s 44.
The 45th President is also polling at unprecedented rates among ethnic minorities and young Americans. Voters under 30 prefer Biden by just one percentage point. Biden’s lead among Hispanics has dwindled to single digits, and almost one-quarter of black voters – 22 percent – intend to vote for Trump, which is “a level unseen in presidential politics for a Republican in modern times.”
Better still for the former President is almost twice as many voters are prioritizing the economy above social issues, such as abortion or guns. Among those economic prioritizers, 60 percent support Trump, just 32 percent support Biden. An overall 59 percent trust Trump over Biden on the economy. Only two percent of Americans told pollsters the economy was “excellent” under the Biden government.
“Discontent pulsates throughout the Times/Siena poll, with a majority of voters saying Mr. Biden’s policies have personally hurt them,” The New York Timesadmits.

Fox News is once again misleading its viewers, airing false 2024 Republican presidential primary poll results. The network’s mid-day news program America Reports, hosted by John Roberts and Sandra Smith, this week aired graphics that reversed recent New Hampshire and South Carolina primary polling results for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley.
The false Fox News numbers showed DeSantis ahead of Haley in both a recent USA Today/Suffolk New Hampshire poll and a CNN South Carolina poll. Haley, according to the actual poll results, holds second place in both state primary contests – with her support at 19 percent and 22 percent respectively. Governor DeSantis has slipped to third place in both state primary contests.

This isn’t the first time that Fox’s cable news programming has aired incorrect presidential polls with the error benefiting Ron DeSantis’s presidential campaign. Last month, The National Pulse reported that Fox Business’s Varney & Co. appeared to have intentionally altered a graphic breaking down a Fox News presidential poll, giving the false impression that Donald Trump was running behind Democrat President Joe Biden 46 to 48 percent. The actual Fox News poll results showed the opposite with Trump running ahead of Biden.
Both Fox News and Fox Business are owned by anti-Trump billionaire Rupert Murdoch. The New York Post, another Murdoch owned media property, claimed in September Trump was ‘getting smoked‘ in the Republican primary, despite leading by historic margins.

Seven Republican legislators from the state of Florida have handed their endorsements to former President Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, reducing the total number supporting Floridian Governor Ron DeSantis to 93. Among these seven, five switched allegiance from DeSantis to Trump while State Representatives Mike Beltran and David Borrero, initially neutral in their support, also rallied for Trump. This further boosts Trump’s position in his newly-adopted home state, where momentum from his campaign has started to have an impact on DeSantis’s influence.
These endorsements, announced on Saturday at the Florida GOP’s “Freedom Summit”, follow the endorsement from Florida Senator Rick Scott and a switch in support from former DeSantis ally, Florida State Representative Randy Fine. Additionally, 14 members of Florida’s Republican congressional delegation have endorsed Trump, with only one supporting DeSantis, and five undecided.
Several of the endorsing legislators publicly communicated their choice, citing the need for Trump’s leadership in uncertain times. State Representatives Jessica Baker, Webster Barnaby, Alina Garcia, and Kevin Steele all switched from supporting DeSantis to Trump.

The California State Bar Court has found Professor John Eastman, a former legal adviser to Donald Trump, preliminarily culpable of 11 charges related to advice he gave the former president on the 2020 election, and the steps he could take to dispute the result.
Eastman was accused of counts including “failure to support the Constitution and laws of the United States” and “moral turpitude” for advising President Trump that Vice President Mike Pence could, in his role as President of the Senate, decline to certify the 2020 election results in states where fraud was suspected, handing them back to their legislatures for further examination.
The State Bar of California moved to strip Eastman of his law license for these supposed offenses, and Judge Yvette Roland has issued “a preliminary finding of culpability,” with the hearing now considering supposedly aggravating factors in his actions.
The State Bar says it “intends to submit evidence of harm flowing from false claims that 2020 presidential election was ‘stolen’ and effected by outcome-determinative fraud, including harassment of specific election officials and undermined public trust in election results and the legitimacy of democratic institutions.”
Eastman, for his part, insists the proceedings against him undermine both his First Amendment rights and attorney-client privilege. He also says the evidence the Bar has presented has only strengthened his belief that changes to the conduct of the 2020 election were made without the necessary legislative approval, and the resulting “illegality opened the door to fraud”.

Republican presidential hopeful Ron DeSantis is continuing to stumble as he tries to tamp down the conversation around whether or not he wears hidden heels in order to appear taller than he really is, rambling about “foot fetishes” and offering to “wear a boot on my head” to get Donald Trump to share a debate stage with him.
Responding to a softball invite to dismiss “#bootgate” as trivial, DeSantis opened by saying it is “no time for foot fetishes” before launching into a long spiel about “war in the Middle East” and “the Bidenflation and the high energy prices”.
“I know people want to try to divert onto other issues; I know Donald Trump and a lot of his people have been focusing on things like footwear. I’ll tell you this, you know, if Donald Trump can summon the balls to show up to the debate, I’ll wear a boot on me head,” he said.

The DeSantis campaign is now attempting to raise money from this attack line by selling sets of golf balls representing the Florida Governor’s gonads.
Whether the optics of DeSantis’s testicles being kept in a small box and only taken out to be whacked will help him present a more assertive public image remains to be seen, but Trump currently leads him by 49 points.
