You didn’t notice my source was Associated Press but, yes, I just saw that in the Hill in an article headlined, Eric Trump says it will boost Trump 5 points. Why are you being so needlessly confrontational? Arutz Sheva isn’t my only source though I also read it frequently. If you find my comments pointless, just skip over them as I do many of yours these days. Nobody reads everything. I just looked and I still don’t see it in Arutz Sheva. And you never include links or bother to google anything you don’t know, e.g. “what is kdrama?” Or even look at the sources I provide as corroboration. One has to corroborate what one says to be taken seriously. Footnotes, you know?!!!! Because then it can be checked. Otherwise it’s just assertions. He said, she said., I read it in a book somewhere in my attic.
I did happen to read your kvetch about Arutz Sheva printing all the times people have only seconds to dive for their shelters or miraculously, a missile lands on a kindergarden or someone’s home, but it was miraculously empty so no one was hurt or killed. It may be nothing to you, but it’s not nothing to people in Israel who have to live this way., many of whom have PTSD (I think shell shock is more descriptive.) Obviously, when something else happens, and people have died running to shelters or in attacks, they report it. It’s a big issue, in and of itself.
SEBASTIEN-
You already know that it to be appealed to the Supreme Court since It is part of the Arutz news item about Trump being banned.
Or maybe you’re pretending you “prognostigied”……………… one of your jokes” ???
Colorado Supreme Court banned Trump from the primary ballot. Will this go to the supreme Court?

So you deny the existence of inflation or is this suppose to be sarcasm?
@Sebastien Zorn
There are some economists who claim that the rising prices on just about everything have to do not with inflation but with plain corporate greed, i.e., the sellers raise prices at will because they want to pump as much money as possible out of the population.
Now, if the population reelects The Donald, and he keeps his promise to defund Social Security and Medicare, it is going to REALLY HURT us, the “useless eaters”.
This is who I voted for Andrew Cuomo who signed the first executive order against BDS in the country – against in the Democratic Primary. NY does not have open primaries and in order to vote in a different party’s primary election, you have to change your party affiliation before the previous November general election if you are already registered. If you are not registered, you can register a month before the general election in the party of your choice and your registration only lapses after you miss 4 general elections. Much of the time, there is no Republican primary anyway. We have Soviet style elections. The Dem party primary is the actual election. The general election is a rubber stamp, much of the time.

Another Israelophobic candidate was Julia Salazar who ran for State Senate.
And Trump made America energy independent until Biden reversed it and so had to go begging, hat in hand, to our enemies, with inflation going through the roof. The price of a bag of groceries is not to be believed.
@Reader Though I consider energy independence a priority so I support fracking, clean coal, natural gas, and drilling for oil wherever it may be, even if it’s in a room in my apartment. 😀
CNN must have lost confidence in the Left’s “election workers”. They don’t need to worry, though, the RINOS and Never Trumpers will be hard at work.
@Reader Yes, well, that’s true of all or nearly all Republicans and that’s why I’m an independent and usually vote a split ticket. I voted against Zeldin and for Hochul for NY governor for that reason since they are both anti-BDS so Israel didn’t come into the picture, and despite her awful stance on no cash bail. I’m not going to vote for somebody who wants to cut my lifeline.
@Bear The one I cited was also Dec. 9. Quel la differance! N’est pas.
@peloni
One of the ways he changed the country was the unstoppable dismantling of the ecological an environmental protection laws by his administration, another – suspending the tax which finances 100% of Social Security (on which tens of millions of retirees depend for their income – of course, this is their own fault [sarcasm]) and 60% of Medicare, and he promised to keep suspending it if reelected.
He also thinks that great depressions are great because they clear out the trash – from his interview on YouTube – I heard it several years ago.
BTW, don’t try to convince me of the inherent goodness of it, besides, I don’t vote anyway.
@ Seb – I believe poll was Dec. 9th
From the polls sited it looks to me like Sister Haley should transition over to the Democratic party, she might be able to beat Biden. That’s the only way she is getting in the white house.
Trump is good for ISRAEL and that is all I care about! And yes, I believe the mood of the people in Israel is changing. Sometimes we all need a good wacky on the head to wake up!
America is sliding into hell so fast under Biden I’m looking for a Hand OF God to come out of the clouds. The PM in Turkey croaked after Bashing Israel, I watch the news everyday looking for the next one to get bumped off.
The white house X_MASS party looks like it’s going to be held in the Senate hearing room this year. It’s becoming so insane, I’m soon going to crawl under the bed with my blankie.
And their are people that still want another 4 years with sleepy JOE.

@Laura
I wonder if Vivekswami is a fan of Hungarian/Rumanian history or just of Dracula lore because, what with all the candidates trying to outdo each other in their declarations of support for Israel at the RJC convention, he went so far as to wish not only total victory to Israel but that the IDF should post a perimeter of Hamas terrorists’ skullls on stakes to scare off future attacks which is what Vlad Tepesh also known as Vlad the impaler, the ruler of Transylvania (and the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s novel and then all the movies) did to ward off the Turks. 😀
@Bear Which gives Trump a hypothetical 8 point lead. Marvelous. What’s the date on that poll?
@Sebastien
@Laura
@Bear
@Reader
That is just something which opponents of Trump say to undermine the reality that Trump’s supporters have a real reason to actually support Trump. In fact, Trump is the only one who has actually made political promises in regards to Israel and actually fulfilled them and then went a great deal further than even he claimed he would do. And of course, this is true of almost all of the positions and promises which he actually ran upon. No other candidate can claim this, period. So while Trump supporters are described as being uncritical idol worshipers, they are in fact simply more than satisfied with the outcome of their choice in choosing him to govern. Meanwhile those making such silly, self delusional claims about Trump’s supporters are themselves in a state of self denial that Trump’s supporters are very pleased with the massive extent to which Trump changed the country and the world in accordance to the platform which he ran upon, something which each of Trump’s opponents oppose, except Vivek who would transform himself into a onion sandwich if he thought it would appeal to the masses.
In fact, when people demonstrate that they are themselves so uncritical of why people actually support Trump, the only reason which might honestly explain it is that either they are being dishonest about the truth of their opposition or that they are themselves uncritical TDS stooleys.
This Dec. 9 poll says Haley would beat Biden by 4 points, Trump would beat Biden by 2, And De Santis by 1, all within the margin of error which is 4 points and in nearly reverse order of popularity in the Republican Primary which has Trump in first place, De Santis in 2nd and Haley in 3rd.
A lot can happen between now and November but the Iowa Caucus is around the corner and it’s not close except Haley has narrowed the gap between her and De Santis to a couple of points. But Trump is at 63.1 percent and climbing. Haley and De Santis are at 10 and 12, respectively.De Santis’s PAC coordinator just resigned. There is really no chance at all that Trump won’t be the
Republican candidate in November. Unlikely that the others will stay in the race much longer. De Santis’s PAC fundraising coordinator just resigned. Makes no sense to keep bashing Trump unless you want Biden.
For people who love Israel, Trump is the only game in town.
My first choice in 2016 was Mike Huckabee who said Israel has more claim to Judea and Samaria than the U.S. does to Manhattan and has made annual trips there for 40 years. I switched to Republican from Independent when i read that in Times of Israel in August 2015. But, he dropped out in January 2016. (And then to Democrat in 2017 so I could vote against Israelophobes in the New York State Democrat primaries since pretty much all the Republicans supported Israel to the same extent. as one another. Cruz was a little better than Trump so I voted for him in the primary and Trump adopted his platform when he won. ) I predict the others will start dropping like flies after the Iowa Caucus.
https://www.politico.com/news/2023/12/09/haley-electability-trump-biden-polls-00130926
This year, too, all three of the top contenders have the same politics with regard to Israel. It makes no difference who wins the primary. But the result is a foregone conclusion.
Does that sound like i’m an uncritical Trump groupie?
@Bear Personally, I get a big kick out of Trump’s personality. My favorite bits are when he invited the dog who tracked down Bin Laden to the White House and conferred a medal of honor on him and his tossing some Starbursts (candies) at Angela Merkl and saying, “Don’t say I never gave you anything.” 😀
(You can tell he’s never been a fan of kdramas or he might have tossed her Kopikos. 😀 )
He is an avid student of history. I wonder if he got the idea from Churchill’s having won a debate by distracting his opponent by ever more frantically looking for something in every pocket while his adversary was talking and when he was asked what he had been
looking for he innocently replied, “I was just looking for my jujubes.” 😀
The man’s a comedian, like Zelensky, only he’s funny though I did like season one of “Servant of the People” which I saw on Netflix.
Imagine Don Rickles in the White House. 😀
Why on earth anybody gives a damn about a politician’s personality is beyond me.
He was the first president, Republican or Democrat, to actually enforce the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995, for starters, 23 years later!
And that’s not nothing.
Nothing wrong with Haley. Turns out her actual position is that the Gazan refugees should be resettled in the Arab countries, not the U.S. But, reality-check, she’s polling in single digits in the primary. Maybe next time.
https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4260755-haley-middle-east-should-take-gaza-refugees/
Sorry, I just rechecked it and she’s up to 10.7% but Trump is at 63.1%!

Well, it just an opinion, but I would call them well informed. Trump was probably always invulnerable to being defeated in the primary, but the candidates which were put up to oppose him were all establishment supporting RINOs, besides Vivek the chameleon. Primaries are an important test for the candidates, but when you put forward a collection of swamp creatures supported by swamp money, criticizing the base as only swampsters would do, well, the primary became a foregone conclusion and pretty much irrelevant to the outcome. For goodness sake, it is as if the swamp really thought the people would be lured back to the RINOs, as if 2016 wasn’t as much a revolt against the RINOs as the Dems. It is as if they really thought that Trump lost the election which he won while having the largest number of people in human history casting a vote for him and against the swamp, the Dems and the RINOs.
Still, despite all of this, polls are manipulated to manipulate the public towards false positive or negative expectations, so we will see how things go, but there is very little to suggest that Trump does not have this in the bag.
@Laura several polls now reflect Haley would trounce Biden.
I personally like her. I agree with you Trump is certainly better than Biden. I also agree with about Trump’s personality issues. His policies to Israel certainly were very good but he is completely egocentric.
I probably should wait to be attacked.
I’m a strong supporter of Bibi, who is actually a real leader and an adult, not a whining, narcissistic cry baby who complains about people being “disloyal” because they dare to run for the same office or because they made a phone call. Recall Trump’s first instinct after October 7 was to trash Bibi. He makes everything about himself. BTW, I don’t have TDS. I intend to vote for him if he’s the nominee. But I do believe we can do better and have a better chance of winning the general election with a different candidate. Unfortunately, the GOP base has this unhealthy attachment and won’t let him go. They would rather lose with Trump then win with someone else. If you want to talk about people who have a particular syndrome, what would you call people who have the opposite of TDS, people with an unhealthy worship of DT?
@ Seb I wonder how the poll was conducted and how valid it is. Many people have changed some views since 10. 7 . Some of the articles below reflect this. Probably did not make people love Trump who dislike him. Other things changed.

@Tanna, many Jews NOT a majority have gone more conservative. Also many Dems no longer like, that is why Trump has a slight lead in the polls versus Biden.
A year out from the gate and it looks like you can place your money on one of two horses. Jews in America and Democratics will vote for Biden. EVERYONE else will be betting on Mr. Trump.
@Laura & Seb,
It was interesting before the 2016 election Trump was under polled because many people were scared to admit they were voting for him.
Trump’s strongest supporters in the GOP are so aggressive (e.g. being called names and denigrated) to any conservative or GOP voters who say they prefer DeSantis or Haley that perhaps they are being under polled. I am not claiming this is a fact but it is a possibility.
It appears unless Trump is convicted of a crime he will the nomination and possibly the election if Biden is indeed the Democratic opponent. We will find out!
Laura suffers from TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome.) I had the hilarious experience of listening to a woman (3 of us were discussing politics at a bus stop) tell me about business dealings in which she said her relatives weren’t dealt with properly by Trump but she wasn’t angry, but when she left, she screamed, “I’m Jewish and I hate Netanyahu.” 😀 usually they go together: TDS and – wait for it – BDS (Bibi Derangement Syndrome) 😀
No, he did not win and no it wasn’t stolen. Whether it be the 2016 Iowa caucus or the 2020 election, it is Trump’s pattern to accuse any election he loses as being “rigged”. He has his hardcore supporters absolutely convinced of this. This extends to his business career as well. He actually accused the Emmy awards of being rigged because The Apprentice lost. What hardcore Trump fans don’t get is that outside his small but loyal base of supporters, he is extremely disliked by most of the public. What worries me is that his nomination will give Biden another 4 years which likely means that Kamala Harris will eventually need to take over. The conservative media is playing us once again with talks of landslide GOP victories and red waves throughout America only to be severly let down. I think the conservative media outlets actually want GOP losses because they get better ratings when conservatives are angry and feel marginalized. They get better ratings when Democrats are in power to target. That’s my theory anyway.
You may be in for a big shock. Don’t put your faith in polls.

The media/Gov have imposed a total silence on the 2020 elections.
The same can be stated about crimes against humanity from covid/Vax/access denial to effective meds.
@Peloni I stand corrected.
@Sebastien
The pattern of election theft which was the real discriminator of victory on Nov. 3, 2020 was clearly evident in the electoral defeats of both Kelly Lauffler and David Purdue on January 5, 2021, granting the Dems full control of the govt, and these are the easiest ones to direct your attention towards, but they are not the only ones where this has taken place. Stop, drop and roll, I believe was the clever description of events which took place on Nov. 3, 2020 with the stopped vote counts, the drop of manufactured votes in the post election hours or day, and the rollout of the new winner. This pattern has since been seen to be evident in many other elections as well.
Also, the forensic analysis of Mesa County 2020 election, which is conclusive and uncontested, demonstrates that the entire 2020 election for that county was actually erased and replaced with an entirely new election outcome, not even including the full voter list which actually voted in that election. This same voter manipulation was detected to have taken place in the 2021 Grand Junction Municipal Election on March 30, 2021 during the same analysis of the Mesa County Forensic audit.
Additionally, in Williamson Tennessee, during a local 2021 election, a hand count of the votes resulted in a completely different outcome from the machine count, and the machine count was found to have consistently false counts after the machines recounted the election results. The U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) was called in for consultation on the matter and they could not explain the discrepancy between the machine and hand counts, but did certify what they came to call ‘the anomaly’. The machine manufacturer came in to evaluate the situation and claimed that several of the machines were likely running on outdated firmware despite the fact that all the machines were fully up to date and had been certified for the election despite the fact that they were seen to be incapable of actually counting the election accurately.
Furthermore, the 2022 elections saw the election outcome counts go up and down during live streaming of the counting, with some vote tallies actually switched from one contestant to another, and again, the inexplicable mark of the stop, drop and roll was seen in many of the election outcomes which saw the expected Red Wave victory concentrated only in the state of Florida where the State House and Senate eerily each came to win precisely 70% of the vote – and later rolled back election integrity laws in their first legislative session, making it illegal for anyone but a govt agency to inspect election fraud in Florida.
You can find many of the details relating to the election ‘anomalies’ on Jeffrey O’Donnell’s telegram channel where he posted innumerable examples during the 2022 election and where he consistently provides updates on these matters. Notably, O’Donnell is also one of the co-authors of the Mesa County Forensic Report #3 which revealed the clear evidence of the fraud which took place in the 2020 election. He has been a consistent voice for election integrity, and is also associated with the device which Mike Lindell has promoted to detect elections being connected to the internet in the next election.
Some would say the fraud is turtles all the way down, but I think what is at least incontestably true is that there is no integrity demonstrably present with regards to election integrity in US elections, and there is too much concerning data in hand to not have more concern being exhibited by those who have the power to do something about it, and yet have done nothing about it. One last point to make is that all of what I have shared here relates to only the fraud associated at the level of the machines, which was easily not the sole aspect of fraud taking place in these recent election cycles.
Peloni is absolutely correct. It does not matter how far Trump is ahead in the polls or in the popular vote in the 2024 Presidential Election if it is a repeat of the 2020 Election.
I am listening carefully for plans to ensure election integrity in 2024. The silence is deafening.
@Peloni Yes, I agree about Trump but Laura’s comment might be valid with regard to the predictions, Turley’s predictions, too, that the Republicans would sweep both Houses of Congress in a landslide and I haven’t read of any objections that those elections were rigged. Have you?
@Laura
This is not fair. Trump won the 2020 election, and won it by quite a bit. The election was stolen, and there is ample evidence documenting this. Despite the fact that the RINOs refused to address the fraud on January 6, and despite the fact that the courts refused to judge the fraud before or after January 6, the fraud is quite real and quite large. It involved aspects of foreign influence including actions taken by both China and Iran, and was supported by a bipartisan interest within the US.
Some might say it is better to play along with the Selection process which replaced the election process so that one of ours might be Selected to rule the next time around. I, however, would strongly dissent from this notion, because if one of ours were to play along just to get elected, he wouldn’t be one of ours, but rather one of theirs.
Either the Republic stands and will be ruled by the consent of the governed or, as Klaus Schwabb put it so nicely,
To win without being Selected, it will take a great many votes, many from the Left and many from the Right. Many who have voted for decades, and many who have never voted in their lives. So, yes, we all remember the corruption which swept Biden into office, and that Trump left the White House on that dark day on January 20, 2021, but it wasn’t because Trump didn’t win, but rather because the election was stolen.
Is it likely that anyone on that stage of candidates will ever meet, much less beat Trump’s turnout in 2020? Well, you might believe that they can, but I would ask you what crossover appeal you might find in any one of them to pierce the Dems’ Blue Wall? What credibility might anyone living in the Blue Wall find in any one of these candidates who change their positions to suit their donor’s demands. What might any one of these candidates do to draw someone out on election day who has never voted in their life much less for a Republican?
These are serious deficiencies which exist with all of the non-Trump candidates, and while the questions exist, the answers to these questions do not. The only hope anyone of these establishment candidates have of becoming president is not to be chosen by the people, but to be chosen by the govt, and that would simply result in maintaining the US on the death spiral dive on which it is currently bent.
And even then, even with the massive turnout that Trump had on 2020, or even if he were to gain another 10-20million votes more, the question still remains uncertain if the process which so strongly controls the voting system can actually be out voted. Perhaps, such a thing is not possibly possible, but what is certain is that without the massive vote turn out which only Trump has ever actually had, there is actually no possibility of victory at all.
Where have we heard such predictions before? Republicans have short memories.
