Poll: 28% of Americans believe they'll need to take up arms against the government, 68% of rural voters say the government is 'corrupt and rigged against everyday people like me': A poll from the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics found that 28% of U.S. voters – including 37% who own guns – believe "it may be necessary at some point soon for citizens to take up arms against the government." Along party lines, 45% of voters identified as "strong Republicans" said it may be necessary to take up arms against the government. Meanwhile, 21% of strong Democrats and 35% of independent voters believe they may need to take up arms against the government. The survey of 1,000 U.S. voters discovered that a majority of Americans feel as though the government is "corrupt and rigged against everyday people like me" – including 73% of voters who describe themselves as a “strong Republican" and 68% of rural voters. There were 69% of strong Republicans who said "more and more feel like a stranger in my own country," while 38% of Democrats agreed. There were 49% of poll participants who "avoided political discussions with others because I don’t know where they stand." Politics has caused a quarter of Americans to lose friends and avoid friends or relatives for their political beliefs, according to the poll. There were 38% who "unfriended or stopped following someone on social media because of their political views." The survey found that 26% of people stopped doing business with a company or brand because of their politics. Last July, a survey regarding possible secession found that two-thirds of Republicans in the South and nearly half of Democrats on the West Coast want to secede from the union and form countries composed of regional states. https://www.theblaze.com/news/americans-take-arms-against-government-corrupt Starts @ 1:56 - Fair Use - Poll: Roe Decision Will Have ‘Net Neutral’ Impact on Midterm Voting: Pollsters asked 1,308 registered voters between June 28-29, 2022: “Does the decision make you more likely to vote in the midterms for a Democrat, for a Republican or not affect how you vote in the midterms?” Thirty-six percent said Democrat, 36 percent said Republican, and 29 percent said no effect. The results are contrary to Democrats’ strategy of drumming up fear before and after the Supreme Court’s decision, in order to stir support for the November elections. A Rasmussen Reports poll released this week similarly shows that a generic Republican candidate holds the same 5-point lead over a generic Democrat candidate as the week before Roe was overturned. The Harvard/Harris poll shows that 55 percent of voters oppose the Supreme Court’s decision and 45 percent support it. However, when voters were asked who should set abortion law in the United States, the greatest amount of voters said: “state legislatures” (44 percent). Only 31 percent believe abortion law should be set by Congress and 25 percent by the Supreme Court, even though the court is not a lawmaking body. Disapproval of the Supreme Court’s decision is especially notable given that Roe’s overturning does exactly what 44 percent of voters prefer: it sends the issue of abortion laws back to state legislatures. The confusion could be in part because one quarter of Americans mistakenly believe overturning Roe would make abortion illegal nationwide, according to a University of Massachusetts Amherst survey.

B-) Nolte: Joe Biden Ships U.S. Oil Reserves to Foreign Countries: The whole idea of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), which is owned by the U.S. government, specifically the U.S. Department of Energy, is to hold on to about 700 million barrels of oil in the event of an emergency or disruption. More than 5 million barrels of oil that were part of a historic U.S. emergency reserves release to lower domestic fuel prices were exported to Europe and Asia last month, according to data and sources, even as U.S. gasoline and diesel prices hit record highs. “Cargoes of SPR crude were also headed to the Netherlands and to a Reliance refinery in India, an industry source said. A third cargo headed to China, another source said.” China. China! They are deliberately increasing gas prices to hurt us, and one way to increase gas prices is to ship our oil to foreign countries. The latest polling from Gallup shows the American people are waking up to the corruption and rot of our so-called institutions: Only 16 percent said they have faith in newspapers—down five points from last year. Only 11 percent said they have faith in “television news”—down five points from last year. Gee, I wonder why the TV news can no longer influence public opinion? There are only two institutions Americans still have majority confidence in. The top one is small business, with a 68 percent rating. The second is the military at 64 percent, although that’s down five points from last year. Small business makes sense. Almost every experience we have with a small business is pleasant. The proprietors need their customers and treat them well, bending over backward often. Big business is impersonal, and press two for English. Gallup did a poll on “big business” and found the confidence level fell four points to just 14 percent. The public schools fell four points to just 28 percent. Public education should be at zero percent and disbanded. Congress was already at the bottom at 12 percent last year and is now at just seven percent. Confidence in the presidency has collapsed almost as badly as the Biden economy, from 38 to 23 percent—which is, by far, the biggest drop over last year. Have you noticed that whenever one of these polls shows a lack of faith in American institutions, the institutions always respond by criticizing the people who don’t trust them, as though we are the problem—you and I? These corrupt and decrepit institutions never show the courage to change or improve. Instead, they blame us for being “misinformed” or “bigoted,” backward,” “cynical,” or “partisan.” THEY are never the problem. No, WE are the problem. ‘Them’s The Breaks’ — Boris Blames ‘Westminster Herd Instinct’ for His Ouster: “As we have seen at Westminster, the herd instinct is powerful and when the herd moves, it moves. And my friends, in politics, no one is even remotely indispensable,” Johnson declared. “I know that there will be many people who are relieved, and perhaps quite a few will be disappointed. And I want you to know how sad I am to be giving up the best job in the world. But them’s the breaks.” Trying to strike a positive tone, Mr. Johnson hailed the achievements of his government, including stewarding the United Kingdom out of the European Union — despite significant issues such as Northern Ireland remaining — and bringing the country out of the coronavirus lockdowns that he himself imposed on the country. He also highlighted his role as one of the most vociferous supporters of the Ukrainian war effort. “I’m immensely proud of the achievements of this government, from getting Brexit done, to settling our relationship with the continent for over half a century. Reclaiming the power for this country to make its own laws in parliament. Getting us all through the Pandemic, delivering the fastest vaccine rollout in Europe, the fastest exit from lockdown. And in the last few months, leading the west in standing up to Putin’s aggression in Ukraine.” “I want to thank you, the British public for the immense privilege you have given me. “And I want you to know from now on until the new Prime Minister is in place, your interests will be served and the government of the country will be carrying on.” While Mr. Johnson stated that he intends on serving as a caretaker Prime Minister while the Conservative Party selects its new leader, a process which could take months, it remains to be seen if he will be afforded such a period, with the left-wing Labour Party threatening to launch a vote of confidence should he not leave office immediately. “We’ll See Them in Court” – AZ Governor Ducey Responds to Biden Regime Lawsuit Seeking to Block Law Requiring Voters to Prove US Citizenship: Joe Biden’s Department of Justice is suing Arizona to prevent a law requiring all voters to provide proof of citizenship to vote. Federal law prohibits noncitizens from voting in federal elections. “You have to be a citizen…and you should be alive on the day that you vote,” Ducey said. “If the Biden administration wants to challenge that, we’ll see them in court,” he added.
