My wife and I are losing a battle of wits with a squirrel who eats the bird seed. We thought we had a solution by putting chile powder on the seed. (Birds have no taste buds.) But I just saw a squirrel eat some seed that I personally covered with chile powder.

ā€œThat’s the only question that will be answered. Barbara Lee is as progressive as anybody else, she’s a woman, she has more experience than the other two probably combined, she checks literally every box except for one: she is not white,ā€ Madrid said.

ā€œThe main question is, in the bluest state, with the whitest, wealthiest, most progressive voters in America, do they genuinely prioritize racial and ethnic diversity?ā€ Will White progressives support a non-white candidate for Senator Feinsteins seat?

Keep your eyes on North Carolina šŸ‘€
Quote Tweet
We continue to have a big gap between the national and state polling. The national polls have Biden leading Trump by 0.3%. The state polls have Biden ahead in every state he won in 2020, and flipping North Carolina.

DeSantis’ polling has dropped since taking his victory tour book launch journey. His support is still coming from establishment Republicans too cowardly to oppose Trump. They’re the next RINO’s. The mob wants a guillotine party and Tucker is their Robespierre

Tucker Carlson framed CRT (Critical Race Theory) as the battleground heading into the Youngkin race in Virginia. He’s defined the contours of the anti-trans movement and pushed the anti-male rhetoric in our culture to a white hot weapon.

Tucker Carlson has been THE daily voice of the Republican Party since Trump lost his Twitter account. His support among the GOP base is wider, deeper and more influential than most pundits understand. He has been the lead general in the culture war, defining everything the GOP… Show more

Listeners of my show know I’ve been saying for months that the only real challenge to Trump in a GOP primary would be Tucker Carlson. If he wants it. This was a great episode of "Mike Drop". Check it out:

DeSantis sits at 24% in the latest WSJ poll. This is a red alarm for his campaign team. He has high positives but a low base. There’s no path. Something unforeseen could change the trajectory here but that’s not a strategy. This is a bad place for a campaign to be.

DeSantis support levels remain in low 20’s. Trump has all the upside. DeSantis’ candidacy is completely overblown. I still think there’s a good chance he doesn’t run.
