#1  I suspect the poll takers took their thumb off the scale early because they don’t want Biden to run.

#2  OMG! An astounding one point difference! Wait, what was the error margin for the poll? Ah, there it is in the very last line of the article:
The margin of error was a plus or minus 4.8 percent.
So a difference of 1% plus or minus nearly 5 percent.

#8  Colorado Supreme Court votes to remove Donald Trump from the 2024 Ballot

Texas should now quickly pass a law barring any demonrat from appearing on the ballot, holding public office and that membership in the demonrat party is an act of treason against the state of Texas.

Game on.

Government Corruption
Conservative journalist says Biden FBI set to prosecute him over Jan. 6 coverage
[WND] The FBI under Joe Biden's dumpster-fire presidency continues to exhibit shameless left-wing bias as a conservative journalist said he will soon face federal charges related to his coverage of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol incursion.

On Thursday, Blaze Media investigative journalist Steve Baker revealed that he would face "unknown" charges from the Department of Justice related to his "journalistic efforts" at the Capitol almost three years ago.

"My attorney has just been notified by @FBI that I am going to be charged by @TheJusticeDept for my journalistic efforts on #Jan 6," Baker wrote on X. "Charges are yet unknown."

The FBI initially ordered the conservative reporter to turn himself in on Tuesday, he said.
