Crockett Attacks Trump For Deporting Members Of Tren De Aragua
Trump ties for highest approval he’s ever had — as more Americans say US is on right track than any time in 20 years: poll
. . ."The bad news is that Trump still has not won over a majority of Americans, and 54% said they disapprove of his handling of the economy — the first time he’s lost a majority on that issue in NBC’s poll."
. . ."While DOGE is unpopular (47% negative to 41% positive), voters generally believe it was a good idea (46%), compared to 40% who say it was a bad idea.
"Trump has steadfastly stood by DOGE and Elon Musk amid political backlash to the cost-cutting initiative, which is intended to help slim down the federal deficit.
"In a key bright spot for Trump, Democrats’ favorability is at an abysmal 27%, with 55% viewing the party negatively, marking the worst numbers for the party in NBC News’ polling history.
"Another poll from CNN found a similar result and also pegged Dems with their lowest rating in its polling history, with only 29% viewing the party favorably.
"Additionally, voters displayed skepticism of the media’s coverage of Trump, with 46% concluding it’s been too critical, while 25% felt it was too supportive, and 24% approved of the media’s approach to him.
"The NBC News survey sampled 1,000 registered voters between March 7 and 11 with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points."
Democrat Sen. Mark Kelly gets rid of his electric Tesla Model X, buys gas-powered Chevy Tahoe truck
Musk had called Kelly a "traitor" earlier this week for visiting Ukraine. Kelly responded to Musk in an X post prior to announcing he was getting rid of his Tesla.. . ."Some social media users responded to Kelly's post about the new vehicle with his past comments about climate change. "Watching our planet spin through space, there's a moment when it becomes abundantly clear: There is no Planet B,"
What Are the Left’s Solutions for the Problems They Created?
Victor Davis Hanson;; "The U.S. faces mounting trade deficits, immigration crises, and endless foreign wars, while critics of Trump's policies offer no viable alternatives to Biden-era failures.
"So, is this really what the left is fighting for? Why doesn’t the new Democratic Party and its street brigades simply be honest and say, “We support the efforts of radical Palestinian foreign students even when they openly champion Hamas and intimidate Jews, and so welcome their constructive presence and protests on American campuses”?"

"The Wall Street Journal has consistently criticized Trump’s economic policies, particularly his ongoing “trade war” with Canada, over the past several weeks. And certainly, the tensions are regrettable. Trump’s trolling of the insufferable Justin Trudeau, with talk of Canada becoming the “51st state,” perhaps only galvanized the Canadian left. It unfortunately may ensure that the only real hope for a Canadian return to normality, the election of Pierre Poilievre, may be lost." . . .
. . ."There are many problems with leftist-inspired immigration protests. The foremost is hypocrisy, usually couched in anti-Americanism. In places like Los Angeles, protestors burned the flags of the country they demanded to remain in while waving the flags of countries to which they seemingly refuse to return.
"If America is such an intolerable place, why did 12 million knowingly break the law to enter it? The entire theme of today’s ethnic studies programs on U.S. campuses is a story of how awful America is, was, and will always be. And yet these are the very university loci that are the most strident about welcoming into the U.S. illegal aliens. Should they not be down at the border warning of the white toxicity that awaits any illegal migrant?" . . .
. . ."Before one can fault the herky-jerky, art-of-the-deal Trump effort to find a stable peace and stop the slaughter, his critics must at least chart a plan for victory, explain the cost in lives and treasure, and outline exactly the eventual goals of reclaiming all the 2022 borders or the 2014 borders. Instead, we hear only ‘this won’t work,’ ‘that can’t work,’ ‘this is stupid,’ ‘that is naïve,’ but never a comprehensive defense of the EU/Biden/Zelenskyy policy or some enlightened replacement for it." . . .
The Biden White House mixed it up with not one but two autopens
"Perhaps the unnamed staffer was switching out autopens. Or perhaps, more chillingly, Biden wasn’t just a puppet for one close aide. It’s entirely possible at this point that we were governed by a shadow committee, with different staffers controlling different decisions and autopens."

"The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project revealed last week that a majority of the documents that Joe Biden purportedly signed while in the Oval Office actually came from an autopen. As the Oversight Project tweeted, “WHOEVER CONTROLLED THE AUTOPEN CONTROLLED THE PRESIDENCY.” The plot has now thickened because it turns out that those documents that didn’t come from one autopen may have come from another. Sadly, though, the ramifications of this probable constitutional fraud on the American people may be very limited.
"Autopens are cool devices for those who need to repeat their signature over and over, whether it’s a celebrity signing those old-fashioned photographs they used to mail out or the Treasury Secretary putting his signature on millions of Social Security checks. We all recognize that these are tasks that cry out for automation, because they can be done with the signatory’s general, rather than specific, consent.
"It's different, though, when you occupy an important position and your decisions must clearly emanate from you, and not from an automated process or someone acting on your behalf. Under Article II of the Constitution, the president of the United States has certain unique decision-making responsibilities that cannot be delegated.
"Yet it seems that delegating is precisely what happened in the Biden Oval Office. You’ve already seen reported here and elsewhere that the Heritage Foundation looked at dozens of executive orders and other documents that Joe Biden allegedly signed, many of which have important consequences (e.g., the final step in creating laws, the predicate act needed to nominate judges, the executive orders around COVID, pardons and commutations, etc.), and learned that they were actually signed by a machine." . . .
Trump Puts Cheney, Fauci on Notice: Declares Pardons Officially ‘Void’ and Demands Investigation "President Donald Trump declared any pardons signed by former president Joe Biden via autopen are officially "void," directing his ire very specifically at the House Select Committee behind the investigation of the January 6th protest at the Capitol."...
"In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them! The necessary Pardoning Documents were not explained to, or approved by, Biden."
Support your local Hamas crowd
Democrats Unmask Themselves . . ."In other news, the Democrats claim to stand for Israel and against antisemitism. How did they show that support this week? By rushing to turn a terrorist-supporting thug into a hero. If you listened to the Democrats all lining up to support Mahmoud Khalil, you’d think he was the combination of George Washington and Gandhi. Hey, he’s going to have a baby!
"The reality is that he’s an evil man. He celebrates the October 7 atrocities, and his group has called for the eradication of Western civilization. His group also encourages violent extremists to fight the U.S. If Americans actually had the full picture of Khalil, this would be a 90-10 issue, with his only support coming from the terrorist-hugging Rashida Tlaib–Ilhan Omar wing of the country. No sane leader would keep such a hostile non-citizen around." . . .
