Poll: Public Overwhelmingly Supports Donald Trump's Border Wall

by Leave a Comment

Americans, by three to one, strongly favor the preservation and use of President Donald Trump’s border wall, according to a poll by Harvard-Harris.

The panel of 1,778 adults was asked: “Do you think that any holes in the border wall with Mexico should be patched or should be left open?”

Seventy-three percent of the respondents wanted the government to patch gaps in the wall, while 27 percent opposed such action.

Retaining the existing wall received 79 percent support when respondents were asked: “Should the hundreds of miles of the border wall that have been constructed over the last few years be left in place or dismantled?”

Only 21 percent — or one in five — said the government should come down.

The border wall is a barrier to illegal migration and to the transport of drugs into Americans’ communities.

The survey was conducted February 23 to 25, as border-agency officials struggled to minimize media coverage of the growing number of economic migrants they have invited to the U.S. border.

President Joe Biden stopped the additional construction of the border wall as soon as he got into office. However, a lawsuit may force Biden to restart construction because his agencies have not completed work that Congress directed and funded in 2019 and 2020.

The Harvard-Harris poll also showed the public ambivalence toward the wall. For example, 53 percent of respondents in the poll said they supported Biden’s decision to halt the construction.

Forty-seven percent of the public disagreed with Biden’s decision. The detail of the poll showed 33 percent strongly approved of Biden’s decision, while 32 percent strongly disapproved.

For years, a wide variety of pollsters have shown deep and broad opposition to labor migration and the inflow of temporary contract workers into jobs sought by young U.S. graduates.

The multiracial, cross-sex, non-racist, class-based, intra-Democratic, and solidarity-themed opposition to labor migration coexists with generally favorable personal feelings toward legal immigrants and toward immigration in theory — despite the media magnification of many skewed polls and articles that still push the 1950’s corporate “Nation of Immigrants” claim.

The deep public opposition is built on the widespread recognition that migration moves money from employees to employers, from families to investors, from young to old, from children to their parents, from homebuyers to real estate investors, and from the central states to the coastal states.

Jen Psaki Defends Joe Biden and Kamala Harris Public Silence on Andrew Cuomo Scandal

by Leave a Comment

White House press secretary Jen Psaki defended President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday for remaining publicly silent on the Andrew Cuomo sexual harassment scandal.

Psaki reminded reporters during the White House press briefing that she spoke on behalf of Harris and Biden.

“The benefit of doing a briefing every day is that I can certainly speak on behalf of the president and the vice president,” she said.

Psaki said that both Harris and Biden believed in the right for any woman to come forward.

“The president believes as I’ve noted that every woman who comes forward deserves to be heard and treated with respect,” she said.

She also claimed that both Harris and Biden supported the investigation into Cuomo’s behavior.

“There is an investigation, an independent investigation that’s being overseen by the Attorney General which has subpoena power and we certainly support that moving forward,” she said.

Cuomo’s third accuser, Anna Ruch, worked for Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign as a voter activation director in southwest Florida and also worked as a photo editor in the Obama White House.

Psaki confirmed that Ruch worked on the campaign but expressed doubt that Biden knew her personally.

“I’m not aware of a personal relationship that they had, or that he knew her personally,” she said, reminding reporters that she also did not work for the campaign before joining the administration.

“I’m sure she has a number of people she still remains in touch with from the campaign,” she said.

Psaki also declined to say whether Biden had reached out to Ruch after her accusations against Cuomo.

When asked whether Biden believed that Cuomo should continue to lead the National Governors Association, Psaki demurred.

“That’s a decision for the NGA, not a decision for the president, or the White House,” she said.

Exclusive – Mike Cernovich: Only Way to Fight Cancel Culture Is 'You Have to Cancel Them'

by Leave a Comment

Defeating left-wing “cancel culture” requires a reciprocal approach from the right, determined Mike Cernovich, author, journalist, and producer of Hoaxed, on Tuesday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow.

“The only way that you can fight back against cancel culture is you have to cancel them,” Cernovich stated, advising those on the right to fight fire with fire. “You have to say, ‘Okay, so this is the way it’s going to be. We’re looking at tweets? Cool, here are your tweets. You’re terrible. I‘m going to create a caricature of you based on two or three tweets that I saw of yours, and that’s your identity. That’s who you are forever. That’s what we’re gonna bring up for the rest your life.’”

He added, “I’ll be careful how I word this because I’m pro-Christian, but fundamentally, Christianity — if I can make kind of critique of Christianity — is too passive.”

Conservatives and the broader right should apply a strategy of mutually assured destruction in the context of “cancel culture,” Cernovich advised.

He remarked, “I remember the first time I got blasted by the media … I said, ‘Fine I’ll look at your tweets. You want to play like this?’ and when I started getting people quote-unquote canceled, conservatives attacked me. I thought, ‘What are you doing? You people live in fear every time you’re going to tweet. Why don’t you just find their tweets?”

LISTEN:

Cernovich highlighted the unearthing of tweets about homosexuality from CNN’s Kaitlan Collins and MSNBC’s Joy Reid as examples of combating left-wing censorship with a method of reciprocity.

“Why don’t you say, ‘Here’s Kaitlan Collins tweeting some interesting things about how she’d never have a gay roommate, but CNN puts her on and they said that’s okay. Oh, here’s Joy Reid. She’s not going to lose her show. Why don’t you do more of this?’”

Left-wing digital censorship will continue spilling over into government-driven political prosecutions if unchecked, Cernovich noted.

“Conservatives, because of that Christian morality, don’t really want to do that,” he stated, “and if you don’t do it … if you’re lucky, you’ll get banned from social media and you just be one of those people ‘oh I got banned from Twitter’ if you’re lucky.

He warned, “That’s what people have to realize. They’re looking for anything that they can hit a Trump supporter with. It doesn’t matter if you made a meme, they’ll go after that.”

Marlow remarked, “It’s no longer about just media hypocrisy. It is about people actually getting arrested. That’s what’s happening. People [are] getting indicted.”

Cernovich replied, “The media is the last thing I’m worried about for MAGA Grandmas. … I’m so tired of the media. … The idea that we’re going to whine about CNN is, first of all, boring and basic, and secondly, it shows that you don’t actually understand the landscape. The landscape isn’t just merely an information battlespace, the landscape now is that feds are indicting MAGA grandmas [and] holding them, in some cases, incommunicado.”

“The feds are coming for you,” Cernovich added. They’re headhunting.”

Exclusive: New York Rep. Lee Zeldin Won't Rule Out Gubernatorial Run, Says Cuomo Scandals Threaten Single-Party Rule in State

by Leave a Comment

Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) would not rule out campaigning for governorship of New York when asked on Tuesday if he would consider running against Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) by Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow.

Zeldin joined Marlow on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily to discuss calls from some Democrats for Cuomo to resign following new accusations of sexual harassment against the New York governor.

Marlow asked, “Are you considering running [for governor of New York]?”

Zeldin replied, “We shall see what is ahead for us over the course of these coming weeks and this next year and a half. I know for sure one thing, that I will do absolutely everything in my power to make sure that Andrew Cuomo doesn’t get a fourth term. That I can tell you with absolute certainty.”

Marlow responded, “Well, that is not a no, which is very cool.”

LISTEN:

Zeldin described New Yorkers’ growing dissatisfaction with Cuomo’s governorship as an opportunity for conservatives to change the political status quo in the Empire State.

“Every level of [New York’s] government — New York City, Albany, D.C. — is all one-party Democratic rule,” Zeldin stated. “So there might be a big blowback against what we’re seeing [with Cuomo] on many levels in favor of Republicans.”

Zeldin said, “Some Democrats are absolutely fed up with Andrew Cuomo, and you have people who will talk about their loss of freedoms. Maybe their kids aren’t back fully in school, or their small business isn’t open, or their taxes are too much and their family’s moving away, or the public safety has been eroded between cashless bail or the defund the police movement out of New York City.”

In February, Cuomo’s top aide admitted that the governor’s office withheld the number of deaths related to the Chinese coronavirus in New York nursing homes to shield the Cuomo government from federal investigation and political scrutiny.

Regarding the Cuomo administration’s nursing home scandal, Zeldin said, “there was a decision point, and if you’re the governor, you can decide to own up to it, to show remorse, to change policy, very publicly be transparent with information, and try to move on from there, but instead the play call was to cover it up.”

“So many Democrats [and] New Yorkers resoundly across the spectrum are deciding it’s time for [Cuomo] to go,” Zeldin added.

“Democrats have decided that they had enough of [Cuomo],” Zeldin said. “The life expectancy for the bullying, the harassment, the intimidation, and the abuse appears to be about ten years in the governor’s office for him. He never built up any reservoir of goodwill.”

Zeldin continued, “What’s coming to light now feels like it’s just a sampling of what may come in the future, and all of that on top of what was a deadly nursing home policy that resulted in a cover-up. New Yorkers have had enough. There were a whole lot of people who already decided that Cuomo’s got to go, but what’s different now is you have a lot of Democrats [calling for Cuomo’s removal].”

Gov. Ron DeSantis Vows Florida Businesses, Schools Will Stay Open in State of the State Address

by Leave a Comment

During his remarks, DeSantis paid tribute to the 30,000 Florida residents who lost their lives due to coronavirus and touted his state’s vaccine distribution efforts.

“We thank the health care professionals throughout Florida who cared for those who became ill due to COVID. This includes frontline doctors and nurses, who provided top-notch care to hospitalized patients, as well as staff at long-term care facilities who worked tirelessly to protect our most vulnerable seniors,” DeSantis said. “Their efforts helped to save thousands of lives and are a major reason why Florida, with perhaps the most vulnerable population to COVID, has per capita COVID mortality that is below the national average.”

“From the outset, Florida has been steadfast in focusing efforts on the protection of the elderly. We rejected the policy of sending contagious COVID patients back into nursing homes; indeed, we prohibited the practice. Florida also established COVID-only nursing facilities so that infections in long-term care facilities could be more effectively contained,” the governor added. “And perhaps most importantly, we are prioritizing our senior citizens for vaccinations. Florida is putting Seniors First because it is the best strategy to save lives and is the best way to honor our elders from whom we draw inspiration. We have vaccinated millions of seniors throughout Florida – parents, grandparents, veterans of the second world war, survivors of the holocaust.”

DeSantis’ address comes as the governor’s star continues to raise, which has prompted buzz about a potential bid for the White House in 2024 if former President Donald Trump does not seek a re-match against one-time Democrat rival President Joe Biden.

Both Trump and DeSantis won the 2021 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) straw poll, which was conducted in partnership with the Washington Times.

As Breitbart News reported:

The straw poll, often used as a barometer of which candidates are most popular among conservative voters, found that when Trump was included as a 2024 presidential candidate, he won 55 percent of the vote. DeSantis came in second with 21 percent support, followed by South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) with four percent. When Trump was excluded from the straw poll, DeSantis took a wide lead among all other 2024 Republican presidential primary contenders, winning 43 percent support. Noem followed with 11 percent and Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., with eight percent.

On Friday, DeSantis kicked off CPAC declared that Florida had become “oasis of freedom” by rejecting lockdown measures adopted by blue states to meant to curb the spread of the coronavirus.

“We are an oasis of freedom in a nation that’s suffering in many parts of the country under the yoke of oppressive lockdowns,” DeSantis said. “We see schools closed, businesses shuttered, and lives destroyed.”

“And while so many governors over the last year had kept locking people down, Florida lifted people up,” he added. “Florida got it right and the lockdown states got it wrong.”
