KSTP/SurveyUSA poll: Biden, Trump locked in dead heat in Minnesota :

Three straight KSTP/SurveyUSA polls show Biden leading by margins of 3, 4 and 2 points — all within the margin of error.

Lyin' Joe Biden's IRS is auditing the middle class, not the rich as promised

 Discussed here:

 "As of last summer, 63% of new audits targeted taxpayers with income of less than $200,000," reports the Journal. "Only a small overall share reached the very highest earners, while 80% of audits covered filers earning less than $1 million." ... 

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen was a bit sassier. "Contrary to the misinformation from opponents of this legislation, small business or households earning $400,000 per year or less will not see an increase in the chances that they are audited," she wrote in a letter to Rettig. ...

The IRS had set a goal of hiring 3,700 new agents in the first year of boosted funding. Instead, in the first six months, they'd hired 34.

Awkwardly, "revenue agent staffing had actually decreased by 8%, or more than 650 employees, between the end of fiscal 2019 and March 2023," per a previous watchdog report. And it's not just hiring that's in trouble: The agency has completed just 33 percent of its fiscal year 2023 milestones outlined in its strategic operating plan, which is…tough given that the year is over.

Biden State Department completely botched the SIV program for US Afghan allies, leaving thousands behind

 From the story here:

In the final days of the withdrawal, State rushed to notify Afghan allies who had worked with coalition forces that they had been approved for Special Application Visas (SIV) to resettle in the U.S. They sent the notice by email and directed SIV holders to present the document at the Kabul airport for entrance.

But the document that State forwarded had no name, serial number, or other identifying information, Aronson said. Afghans desperate to leave made thousands of copies of the notice, making it impossible to determine who had a legitimate visa and who had a forgery.

The emailed notice that had been “the sole mechanism” for confirming that an Afghan had SIV status and would therefore be allowed into the airport, he said, “became the least reliable mechanism to confirm somebody had an approved SIV.” Adding to the confusion, he told lawmakers the evacuation priority list changed “almost daily,” and that this information was seldom relayed in a timely fashion to the Marines guarding the airport gates.

Google Gemini agrees that Joe Biden didn't do that lol, and yes, Sunday was Easter

 

Joe Biden is the you-didn't-build-that president Barack Obama wouldn't warn us about

 Remember the good old days when Barack Obama told entrepreneurs who built businesses "You didn't build that"?

Fun times.

We should believe Joe Biden when he denies he proclaimed Easter Sunday the Transgender Day of Visibility, even though it's in his Twitter feed and on the White House website.

Somebody else built that, and it comes as jarring news to him.

He is not in charge, especially of communications. That all goes out under his name and he has little involvement in it.

Biden is more of a figurehead because fatigue combined with the executive functions of the brain he has lost due to old age mean he must rely on others to keep up appearances and meet political expectations, in this case of the hard progressive left.

Democrats should be embarrassed by this guy, but Democrats have no shame.

The Forehead still thinks Bill Clinton would have beat Bush 41 to a pulp had it not been for Democrat H. Ross Perot lol

And Democrat RFK Jr and progressive Shanahan may keep Biden from beating Trump.

Nothing must interfere with Joe's transgender agenda, the first American president officially to push it.

 

Core pce inflation was 2.8% year over year in February 2024, but averaged just 1.6% for four years under Donald Trump

The core pce inflation rate currently is still 75% worse than Trump's 1.6%.

The three year Biden average is 4.31%, which is 169% worse than under Trump.

Real Clear Politics currently shows an average of 64.6% saying the country is on the wrong track.

What the Polls Say: RFK Jr. Hurting Biden, Helping Trump

Ed Kilgore, NY Magazine

Smart move

  Israelis Questioning Their Nation's Dependence on USA...

The [UN] resolution called for a cease-fire as well as the release of hostages, instead of embracing the Israeli position that a cease-fire be predicated on the hostages’ release. ...

The U.S. has rarely used its leverage in the Security Council before to express dissatisfaction with Israel. The last time was in 2016, under the Obama administration, when the U.S. abstained from voting on a resolution that called for a halt to all Israeli settlements in the occupied territories.

Biden tailpipe rule will turn America into a Cuba of old cars

New York Post here:

Biden’s goals will push internal-combustion-vehicle prices into the stratosphere, and likely still not get consumers to play along; the 2032 mandate is beyond impossible to meet. 

Instead, Americans will keep older cars on the road far longer; even paying through the nose for clunkers and repairs will be the better bet.

 

May 2023: Average age of a car on the road in the US hit a record 12.5 years, up 3 months from 2022.

I have two cars for my family. One is 27 years old, the other 17. 

Remember Cash For Clunkers under Obama?

Yeah, I skipped that.

Kim Strassel: Biden is coming for your truck

The column is here:

It’s a tailor-made issue for Donald Trump, a perfect summation of his opponent’s radicalism. His campaign immediately trashed the rule as a diktat that will “force Americans to buy ultra-expensive cars they do not want and cannot afford while destroying the U.S. auto industry.” Just wait until he gets around to the bumper-sticker formula: “They’re coming for your truck.” An energy trade group has already been up with ads making that point in swing states, calling on Americans to reject Biden’s “EPA car ban.”

 

Holy cow, Biden's new tailpipe rule will make new gas vehicles extinct by 2032 and the LA Times says he's not going fast enough!

Fascist Joe Biden makes $20 billion in grants and loans to Intel in Arizona under the $114 billion Chips Act, which is all borrowed money, to buy votes

Democrats are more than willing to hand Joe Biden slush money to buy votes, but $25 billion for a wall? No way. 

Bloomberg doesn't even hide it:

(Bloomberg) -- President Joe Biden said his $20 billion award to Intel Corp. demonstrated his investments in US industries that had withered under Donald Trump’s tenure, touting a flurry of government spending he hopes will help him defeat his Republican rival in a general-election rematch. ...

Biden trails Trump in several crucial states, including Arizona, as voters remain skeptical of the president’s handling of the economy. Biden is responding by using his bully pulpit, as well as federal dollars, in states to show the public the results of his plans. The president said Wednesday’s announcement would support 10,000 manufacturing jobs, including 3,000 in Phoenix. ...

Intel is the first company to land a preliminary funding deal from the Chips Act for advanced manufacturing facilities. The law provided $39 billion in grants, plus loans and guarantees worth $75 billion to persuade companies to build factories on US soil and reverse a decades-long shift of semiconductor production to Asia.
