California’s Public Utilities Commission will soon vote on whether to adopt a fixed electricity charge. It looks like it will be based on income.

Only 20 percent of eligible voters think that the United States has control of its own borders‚ a recent poll found‚ making it the latest survey find Biden underwater on the critical election-year issue. The poll of 1‚500 eligible voters‚ performed by Redfield and Wilton Strategies on behalf of Newsweek‚ found that just 20 percent of respondents said that the United States has control over its border‚ marking a significant decline over the past several months. The number has plummeted since August‚ when 34% of respondents said that the country had control over its own borders. When asked “Do you believe the United States has control over its borders&;#63;” a full 63 percent said “no‚” while another 13 percent said “don’t know.” A plurality of all age groups surveyed in the poll‚ which was performed on April 11th‚ agreed that the U.S. does not have control over its borders‚ including 47 percent of Generation Z‚ which was defined as those born between 1997 and 2002. A majority of those who voted for Joe Biden in 2020 (53 percent) also said that the U.S. does not have control over its borders. The survey also asked voters their thoughts on the government’s current handling of illegal immigration‚ with 52 percent saying that they were either dissatisfied or very dissatisfied‚ while only 21 percent said that they were satisfied or very satisfied. Another recent poll found that only 36 percent of voters approve of Biden’s handling of immigration‚ making it the incumbent Democrat’s lowest issue-specific approval rating for the fourth month in a row. Even polls from blue states like Colorado and Massachusetts found that voters say immigration is the biggest issue facing their respective states. The polls’ findings come as the country has seen a seismic surge in illegal immigration‚ with officials recording about 9 million nationwide encounters and 1.7 million estimated gotaways since President Joe Biden took office. The figure poses a sharp contrast with the 415‚000 total reported gotaways for 2018‚ 2019‚ and 2020 under the Trump administration. Former President Donald Trump appears to be gaining on Biden in the polls‚ no doubt in part due to widespread disapproval of the Democrat’s border policies. One recent poll found that Trump now leads Biden in Wisconsin‚ one of seven crucial swing states. Previous surveys found that the former president was in the lead in all six of the other seven swing states. 

A cop whipping out a pregnancy test during a traffic stop — this is the highlight of a new abortion ad California Governor Gavin Newsom shared this week. The Democratic governor posted the eyebrow-raising clip to X on Sunday. This ad claims that women are being pulled over and given pregnancy tests by police in Alabama. Just absolute unhinged lunacy. But it will be persuasive to the same crowd of morons who think Florida passed a bill banning residents from saying the word gay. https://t.co/UxcnGkvzCp — Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) April 22‚ 2024 The ad shows a young blonde woman nervously trying to drive across Alabama’s state line to obtain an out-of-state abortion. “We’re almost there. You’re going to make it‚” her friend says as they pass a “State Line 1 Mile” sign. Suddenly sirens blare‚ and a police car pulls the girls over. “Miss‚ I’m gonna need you to step out of the vehicle‚ take a pregnancy test‚” a state trooper tells the woman in a thick southern accent. The officer taps a pregnancy test on the window. The woman is then shown being handcuffed and bent over the cop car as she looks at the camera with a pained expression. “Trump Republicans want to criminalize young Alabama women who travel for reproductive care‚” the ad’s narrator says. The ad calls on viewers to “stop them” and directs people to a link for Newsom’s Campaign for Democracy political action committee. The issue at the heart of the ad is about minor girls traveling for abortions‚ not women. Three states‚ Tennessee‚ Oklahoma‚ and Alabama are considering bills that crack down on minors traveling out of state to get an abortion without parental consent‚ the PAC’s link explains. Nevertheless‚ the PAC’s website references “women” multiple times. “They want to lock women and girls down completely‚ taking away their constitutional right to travel‚” the website reads. “These are states that basically want to imprison women and young girls‚” the PAC adds. “It’s a backdoor nationwide abortion ban‚ denying women the opportunity to go to a freedom state.” The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh reacted to the ad on Monday. “Just absolute unhinged lunacy. But it will be persuasive to the same crowd of morons who think Florida passed a bill banning residents from saying the word gay‚” Walsh posted on X. Democrats and mainstream media outlets have made range of dubious claims about the repercussions of state abortion bans‚ saying they affect everything from miscarriage care to ectopic pregnancy removal. However‚ the details of the individual cases often do not support viral allegations that women are failing to get the care they need in states that have implemented abortion bans. As the presidential election cycle heats up‚ Democrats have made abortion a key issue‚ especially the many state bans that took effect in the wake of Roe vs. Wade’s demise. Newsom has personally hammered the abortion issue for months‚ signing more than a dozen new abortion laws and urging women in states with bans to come to California to get their abortions.
