A future Democrat named Sakir Akkan came through San Diego, California, illegally in November and was released. He grabbed a 15-year-old girl in Albany, New York, forced her into a vehicle while wielding a metal pole, and then tore her clothes off and raped her. Her legs were scratched up from resisting.

According to the London Times, a former Russian State Duma MP Ilya Ponomarev implied he would pressure NATO leaders to assassinate members of President Vladimir Putin’s inner circle and overthrow the Russian government. That would be World War III, plus it’s a war crime. Who the hay is this idiot?

Ahead of the first pre-convention presidential debate, polls for the 2024 election generally show former President Donald Trump with an edge over President Joe Biden. CNN is hosting the debate in Atlanta on Thursday evening, weeks before each candidate is expected to formally receive his respective party’s nomination and a little more than four months before Election Day. Trump led Biden 46.6% to 45.1% as of Wednesday, according to the RealClearPolitics (RCP) average of polls. The site’s co-founder and president, Tom Bevan, said Trump’s 1.5 percentage point advantage is the largest it has been in three months.

Kennedy Jr. and Cornel West as well as Green Party candidate Jill Stein, none of whom qualified to appear on the debate stage this week. With the others thrown into the mix, the RCP average of polls showed Trump with 42.3% support, Biden with 39.7%, Kennedy with 7.2%, West with 1.4%, and Stein with 1.3% as of Wednesday. Another national poll tracker, this one from FiveThirtyEight, shows Trump with just a 0.1 percentage point lead over Biden, 41%-40.9%, while Kennedy has 9.2%. Its 2020 feature shows Biden had a 9.4 percentage point advantage over Trump on this date four years ago. Forbes reported last week that an Ipsos poll showed Trump ahead of Biden in seven battleground states—Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona, and Nevada—with inflation and immigration being top concerns for voters. This week, as relayed by Bulwark reporter Marc Caputo, former Ron DeSantis campaign pollster Ryan Tyson came out with swing state polls showing “not only is President Trump still edging out Joe Biden on the ballot test in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin – his lead has expanded in four of those five states.” Former DeSantis campaign pollster @ryan_tyson is out with a batch of swing state polls showing “not only is President Trump still edging out Joe Biden on the ballot test in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin – his lead has expanded in four of those five states” pic.twitter.com/LdheOvzcg2 — Marc Caputo (@MarcACaputo) June 27, 2024 It has not been all good news for Trump. Fox News recently did a survey that found Biden to be the front-runner, and GOP strategist Karl Rove argued over the weekend that Biden had some polling momentum after Trump was convicted in his New York hush money case late last month. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Still, there have been some particularly troubling signs for Biden in the past couple of weeks. The recent findings of what is widely regarded as a “gold-standard” poll in Iowa from J. Ann Selzer’s firm showed Trump ahead, touching off commentary about how it portends a poor showing for Biden in battleground states across the Midwest. And pollster Nate Silver unveiled a forecast model this week on his “Silver Bulletin” substack that found Trump had a nearly 66% chance of winning the 2024 election.

Former Democrat Tulsi Gabbard explained how she believes her former party has damaged its standing with Christian voters, one of the largest voting blocs in the country. In an interview with The Daily Wire over the weekend, Gabbard said that during her time as a Democratic politician, she noticed increasing “discomfort when people mention God or open a meeting with a prayer.” “You see how this progression in the Democratic National Conventions over time, how once prayer and God, they were very much a part of many of the speeches that were given,” Gabbard told The Daily Wire. “You go back to the last convention in 2020 and maybe there was one mention of God, but even in the Pledge of Allegiance, they took out ‘under God’ when they said that,” she said. Gabbard was a popular congresswoman from Hawaii and served as vice chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee until 2016. She even ran for president in the party’s 2020 primary before announcing in October 2022 that she had left the Democratic Party and was an independent. “This is one of the reasons I left the Democratic Party, is they are undermining our freedom of religion and they are both directly and indirectly challenging our democracy and targeting people of faith and spirituality, especially Christians,” Gabbard said. “So it’s no wonder why so many Christians and, and people of faith recognize the danger of what happens when you have a party in power trying to remove even any mention of God from every facet of our public life,” she added. Beyond Christians, Gabbard said Democrats currently seem to be “alienating” everyone who is not “infected with their Trump derangement syndrome.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “Common sense-minded Americans, independent-minded Americans, people who care about their kids, who are concerned about safety in our communities, who are concerned about the destruction of Title IX, who are concerned about parents wanting to have the power to make a decision where they send their kids to school,” she said. “Like how about let’s support small businesses instead of, you know, threatening a 40% increase in taxes that will directly impact them.” Many people who have traditionally voted Democrat are now seeing “a very real difference in policies” and recognizing how “radical” the Democrats really are, Gabbard said. “So whether it’s minority communities or other ethnic or religious demographics across the spectrum, we see people who’ve been taken for granted by the Democratic Party for a long time, people who recognize how the Democrats or elite are wildly out of touch with the everyday lives and challenges that people are facing in small towns and big cities and ultimately how insane and radical their agenda really is,” she said. Gabbard’s remarks come as the 2024 presidential election heats up, with former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden facing off in their first debate of the election cycle Thursday evening.
