‘Remarkable’ Poll Shows Trump Gaining Ground Among the Groups He Supposedly ‘Hates’

After President Donald Trump ended the government shutdown, his support among key groups is on the rise.

A new poll from Zogby Analytics published on Thursday — “remarkable” according to The Washington Examiner — shows that Trump has significant support from suburban women despite the left’s constant screeching about the president’s “sexism.”

Pollster Jonathan Zogby reported that Trump “is doing very well with suburban women (50% approve/50% disapprove), who are vital to his re-election hopes in 2020.”

And that could be because suburban women are some of the biggest proponents of Trump’s border wall, which he plans to build by invoking presidential emergency powers.

“A significant plurality (45%) of suburban women (likely voters) do support the president looking elsewhere to find funding for the border fence, while two in five suburban women do not support this idea,” Zogby reported.

The poll shows that suburban women are significantly more likely to be supporters of the border wall than other groups of likely voters.

“The support of suburban women is well above the number of all women (32% yes/42% no) and all suburban likely voters (37% yes/42% no) who agree with President Trump utilizing funds committed elsewhere to finish 500 miles of border fencing.”

It’s not just suburban women; Trump also gained support from younger voters, Hispanics and weekly Walmart shoppers.

Do you think Trump will do well in 2020?

“Another interesting area where President Trump gained ground was with Hispanics (40% approve/57% disapprove) and African Americans (24% approve/70% disapprove). Both groups’ job approval rating of Trump increased the most in months,” Zogby reported.

This new poll completely shatters the narrative that Trump is “sexist” and “racist.”

You might have heard Democrats try to paint Trump as “racist” for attempting to stop illegal immigration, but his support from Hispanic voters has gone up.

In reality, it’s not “racist” or “immoral” to have a border wall. It’s immoral to let anybody walk into the country while others wait for months to immigrate legally.

Hispanic voters with family members who immigrated legally understand that the immigration process shouldn’t be undermined by being permissive toward illegal immigration.

And Trump’s support among suburban women shows that he can’t be as “sexist” as liberals claim either.

In fact, women play a central role in Trump’s administration. Press secretary Sarah Sanders, Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen, and Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, are just a few of the important women around Trump.

Unlike Democrats, the numbers don’t lie — Trump has significant support from women and Hispanics despite the left’s attempts to falsely paint him as a racist and sexist.

Democrats Called Out for ‘Mockery’ of Ethics Rules After $60,000 Trip to See Beyoncé Revealed

Five Democratic representatives in the Congressional Black Caucus are being called out for their mockery of House ethics rules after it was revealed they went on a $60,000 completely paid-for vacation to South Africa, which included exclusive performances by music artists Beyoncé and Jay-Z.

The nonprofit group, Global Citizen, paid for the representatives’ 3-day trip in December to attend the “Global Citizen Mandela 100” concert, which featured popular artists like Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Ed Sheeran, Pharrell Williams and Coldplay’s Chris Martin, the Washington Examiner reported, citing congressional disclosure records.

The Democrats, who all had VIP passes to the concert, were U.S. Reps. Gregory Meeks of New York, Barbara Lee of California, Bobby Rush of Illinois, Terri Sewell of Alabama and Hank Johnson of Georgia.

And it wasn’t just Democratic politicians who went on the paid-for vacation. Far-left media personalities like “Daily Show” host Trevor Noah and MSNBC host Joy Reid also came along.

The politicians even chummed around with Oprah Winfrey and activist Al Sharpton.

The stated purpose of the event was to raise awareness for global poverty.

But of course, the three-day vacation (one full day in South Africa and two travel days) was more extravagant than that — besides a concert, the group of politicians flew business class, stayed in a fancy hotel and had private security.

Should this be a violation of ethics rules?

The actual total cost for all the food, lodging, airfare and security was $60,272.

A spokesperson for one of the recipients of the vacation defended the trip in a statement to the Examiner by pointing out the money didn’t come from taxpayers.

Sewell’s spokesperson said that “her travel was pre-approved by the House Ethics Committee and was not paid for at taxpayer expense.”

Nevertheless, the House Ethics Committee is supposed to have rules against accepting gifts because it can obviously open politicians for bribes.

But according to Sewell’s spokesperson, the luxury trip and huge concert was “a platform for world leaders to speak out against racial injustice and inequity, and voice their support for international assistance for underprivileged populations.”

RELATED: Socialism on the Rise: Dem Literally Wants Government in ‘Every Single Facet’ of Your Life

The president of the National Legal and Policy Center Government Integrity Project, Tom Anderson, isn’t buying that excuse — it was a vacation, not a humanitarian trip.

“These members of Congress that were given an all-expense paid vacation to party with Oprah, Jay Z, and Beyoncé in South Africa are claiming with a straight face this was needed to help poor children around the world live better lives,” Anderson said.

While the concert did raise a lot of money for impoverished people, that was because of the star power from the performers. Nobody went to the concert to see politicians.

“This was in fact, a mockery of House ethics rules on gifts and travel, the truly poor, and all Americans that expect members of Congress to live not only by the letter of the law but by the spirit and intentions of the rules of the House of Representatives.”

Democrats endlessly talk about the dangers of money in politics, but these five Democrats apparently don’t apply that principle to themselves.

Saturday Treat: James Woods Takes Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to School Over Radical Green New Deal

Conservative actor James Woods took Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to school over another one of her vapid tweets about the Green New Deal.

Ocasio-Cortez fired off a tweet on Friday pushing her radical Green New Deal and scolded others who haven’t been able to come up with a better plan than her radical resolution as mere rubes “shouting from the cheap seats.”

“Until then, we’re in charge,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted.

Ocasio-Cortez: Yup. If you don’t like the #GreenNewDeal, then come up with your own ambitious, on-scale proposal to address the global climate crisis.

Until then, we’re in charge – and you’re just shouting from the cheap seats.

James Woods dropped in on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Saturday and took her to school.

“So, you may have missed this, but the way it works in America is YOU work for US. The last time somebody told Americans to sit down and shut up was 1776. If you ever learn to read, look it up. You are not only a idiot, you’re an arrogant idiot, and there is nothing more dangerous,” Woods tweeted in response to AOC’s utter arrogance.

Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal proposed the elimination of all airplane travel and would require every building in the US to be “upgraded” to meet the rigors set by the green Communists.

AOC is out of control — she even lectured Americans to eat fewer hamburgers in an interview this week.

Thank you, James Woods for using your platform to say what millions of Americans are thinking!

James Woods Savages Klobuchar After Reports Surface of Bizarre Interaction with an Aide and a Comb

Actor James Woods had the perfect response to recent reports about Democratic senator and presidential hopeful Amy Klobuchar’s alleged mistreatment of staffers.

“She’s done. Stick a comb, uh, fork in her…,” Woods tweeted Friday about the bizarre “comb” controversy surrounding the Minnesota senator.

Woods’ tweet may seem strange if you’re not yet familiar with the reports about Klobuchar’s mistreatment of staff.

TRENDING: New Section of Wall Completed Whopping 47 Days Ahead of Schedule & Trump Has the Video

On Friday, The New York Times published a report outlining the alleged “demanding” and “often dehumanizing” treatment of Klobuchar toward her staff.

And, yes, one story did involve a comb.

According to the report, a staffer prepared a salad for Klobuchar to eat during a flight in 2008, but the aide dropped the senator’s fork and was unable to find a new one.

“What happened next was typical: Ms. Klobuchar berated her aide instantly for the slip-up. What happened after that was not: She pulled a comb from her bag and began eating the salad with it, according to four people familiar with the episode,” The Times reported.

Do you think Sen. Klobuchar’s presidential ambitions are done for?

That explains Woods’ “stick a comb, uh, fork” comment, but the story gets worse.

“Then she handed the comb to her staff member with a directive: Clean it.”

Imagine how horrified the aide must have been — watching their boss eat a salad with a comb, only to then have to clean it — and that isn’t even the most damning of the reports against Klobuchar.

A separate report published by Buzzfeed News on Feb. 8 alleged that the senator threw a binder at one of her aides.

Klobuchar has only partially denied the claim, telling Fox News she threw a binder “down.”

RELATED: Classy James Woods Rises Above Political Fray, Congratulates Ruth Bader Ginsburg

“If you look at that story, I think you’ll see it said something about me throwing a binder down — not at somebody,” Klobuchar said.

But the report alleges that abuse from the senator happens “daily.”

“She demeaned and berated her staff almost daily, subjecting them to bouts of explosive rage and regular humiliation within the office, according to interviews and dozens of emails reviewed by BuzzFeed News,” the report states.

Obviously, we should always be dubious of anonymous reports, whether they are about Democrats or Republicans, but these are still horribly bad stories for Klobuchar, who is hoping to become the next president in 2020.

Plus, the fact that the senator has the highest annual staff turnover of any member in the Senate, according to a March 2018 report from Politico, doesn’t look particularly good for her either.

As Woods implied in his humorous tweet, these reports could be enough to put a fork — or comb — in Klobuchar’s presidential ambitions.

The actor’s take on Klobuchar hasn’t been the only spot-on political commentary coming from his Twitter feed lately.

Woods was one of the first people to go after Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam last month after his sick comments about allowing babies to be killed after they’re born.

“Watch your interview, pretend you aren’t a lackey for the #DemocratDeathMachine, and imagine the person speaking about killing a newborn isn’t you,” Woods tweeted. “Just some random savage. Would you want that person within a mile of your children? Shame on you. That savage is you, killer.”

HERE WE GO: Crooked Hillary and Politico Publish Hit List of 200 Influential Conservatives They call “Foreign Actors” Who They Want Removed from Twitter

Hillary Clinton, Politico, the liberal media, DC elites and far left organizations are coordinating efforts to silence real people who support Donald Trump and his agenda in the runup of the 2020 election.

The organized left has already decimated conservative voices on Facebook with many of the top 2016 publishers already put out of business. Facebook cut nearly two billion page views to conservative websites in 2018.

This is a bloodbath.  Facebook has wiped out conservative content to American users.

There is also evidence of far left Google officials debating how to bury conservative content.   Google regularly censors conservative content.

Far left Google and Facebook also control 80% of advertising dollars online.
And they openly discriminate against conservative publishers.

Twitter continues to eliminate pro-Trump and conservative users and shadow-ban thousands of conservative accounts.

But this is not enough.

Democrat fascists want COMPLETE ELIMINATION of conservative voices online.

On Wednesday Hillary Clinton called out social media giants to begin banishing conservatives.

Hillary linked to a far left Politico junk report on alleged “foreign actors” who are already working disinformation campaigns against liberal candidates.

The 200 list actually included real users who are being targeted!

Here is one.

This is fascism in action.

The ruse of “we think these are Russian bots” is an attempt by intolerant Democrats to silence pro-Trump voices.

Democrats can’t win on a level playing field – and they know it.

Job Creators Network Fires Back at Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez with Two More Times Square Billboards

The Job Creators Network fired back at Democratic Rep. (D-NY) Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez with two more billboards in the heart of Times Square, this time roasting the left-wing Democrat after she attacked the group on social media.

“Hey AOC, Saw your wack tweet,” the second 7th Avenue billboard says, which is in response to an Ocasio-Cortez tweet that called JCN “wack.”

Last week, Job Creators Network had a giant billboard erected in Times Square which slammed Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for her role in driving Amazon’s decision to pull out of it announced plan to move it’s new headquarters to New York City.

“25,000 lost NYC jobs, $4 billion in lost wages, $12 billion in lost economic activity for NY — thanks for nothing, AOC!” the first billboard says.

Taking to Twitter, posted a pair of tweeted aimed at JCN.

“Hey AOC, Saw your wack tweet,” the first JCN billboard reads, with another below that says, “Hey AOC, this billboard cost about $4,000. But you cost NY 25,000 jobs and $4,000,000,000 in annual lost wages. Ouch!”

To be clear, Ocasio-Cortez took heat from elected officials in New York on both political parties, including left-wing New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.

“The Amazon pullout is a perfect example of what we’ve been saying: socialism takes and capitalism creates,” said Alfredo Ortiz, JCN President and CEO. “The economic consequences of Amazon’s pullout is just a small taste of the harm that is to come if Ocasio-Cortez’s anti-business canon comes to fruition and is made federal policy.”

“The billboard—which is located on 42nd Street near 8th Avenue—will be displayed for one week beginning today and is headlined ‘AMAZON PULLOUT, Thanks For Nothing AOC,’” JCN said last week. “The ad goes on to highlight the economic consequences of Ocasio-Cortez’s actions and ends with the hashtag, #SocialismTakesCapitalismCreates.”

Texas School District Arming Guards with AR-15s to Keep Students Safe

The Texas City, Texas, school district is arming guards with AR-15s in a bid to be the safest school system in the United States.

Fox News reports that the decision to buy AR-15s came after the district hired former Secret Service agent Mike Matranga to oversee “security and school safety.”

Matranga’s plan includes having at least one deputy per school campus in the district. Each of those deputies will have an AR-15. Matranga said, “These are the weapons we purchased for our deputies. I’m a firm believer that we fight firepower with superior firepower.”

The plan for school safety in Texas City also includes facial recognition technology and the ability to track movements of individuals inside the schools. District superintendent Rodney Cavness said, “We’re not playing around. This isn’t some kind of little game to us. We put a lot of time, money, and effort into this.”

Cavness added, “I think we’re living in a sick society, and there are some very deeply troubled people out there that want to do harm to kids and to campuses and to teachers, and we’re not going to let that happen.”

Texas City schools are located a short distance from the site of the May 18, 2018 Santa Fe High School attack. The student who carried out that attack used a shotgun and revolver.

Exclusive — ‘Unplanned’ Filmmakers Explain Surprise R-Rating: ‘We Made a Pro-Life Movie in a Pro-Choice Town’

The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) gave the upcoming abortion movie Unplanned an R-rating Friday, citing “some disturbing, bloody images.” But the movie’s filmmakers fear the rating is motivated by politics.

“We made a pro-life movie in a pro-choice town” said Chuck Konzelman, who along with Cary Solomon wrote and directed Unplanned.

For Solomon, the R-rating smacks of hypocrisy. “The standard used to rate our movie is being applied inconsistently as it relates to bloody images on-screen,” he told me in a phone interview. “In fact, Happy Death Day 2U (a “slasher” film with several violent murder scenes) has far more blood and gore than our film and it received a PG-13 rating.”

Indeed, most R-rated films are labelled as such for featuring sexual scenes, profanity, nudity, or violence — all of which Unplanned has none. The filmmakers had hoped for a PG-13 rating.

The film tells the true-life story of former Planned Parenthood clinic director Abby Johnson, who left the abortion giant in 2009 to become a pro-life activist.

Mike Lindell, founder and CEO of My Pillow, invested $1 million to the movie’s production. “I’m pro-life and I’m happy to do it,” Lindell told the Hollywood Reporter.

The filmmakers told me their movie depicts scenes of Johnson, played by actress Ashley Bratcher, bleeding and vomiting on the floor after taking an abortion pill. The MPAA also objected to scenes showing a doctor looking at images of a fetus after an abortion.

The MPAA told Konzelman and Solomon to either cut the abortion scenes or edit them. “The blood is in no way gratuitous,” Konzelman told me. “For us to not include blood in these critical scenes would be to severely cheapen this true story.”

“We have three scenes in the film which directly address abortion, and the MPAA objected to all three,” Solomon said. “They specifically made mention of objection to grainy, black and white sonogram images that were part of one of the scenes. It was clear that any meaningful treatment of the issue was going to be objectionable.”

An MPAA spokesperson said that the film’s distributor, Pure Flix — the studio behind God’s Not Dead — didn’t respond to the organization’s appeals process in a timely manner. Pure Flix president Michael Scott fired back saying, “This story needs to be told and the message needed to be delivered.”

“It is our calling as Christians to tell the story about the moral implications of abortion that the mainstream media refuses to acknowledge,” Scott said.

Pure Flix is charging ahead and plan to release Unplanned with its R-rating.

“Most Americans believe Hollywood’s God is money. No. Their God is a liberal agenda that they serve without fail. And we are anathema to that, Solomon said.

Unplanned opens in theaters everywhere on March 29.

Socialist on a Power Trip – Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Claps Back at Critics of Her Radical Green New Deal “I’m the Boss!” (VIDEO)

Communist Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY) is on a major ego trip in the wake of the unveiling of her radical Green New Deal.

The 29-year-old lawmaker popped off at the New York Hall of Science on Friday while speaking on a ‘Girls Who Code’ panel.

Ocasio-Cortez sounded like a Socialist dictator (with a Bronx accent) as she reminded the crowd that it’s the radicals who drive the agenda and no one has done what she has in regards to the Green New Deal.

Forget the fact that the Green New Deal is completely absurd on the face it. The resolution calls for the elimination of all airplane travel and would require every building in the US to be “upgraded” to meet the rigors set by the green Communists.

“I’m at least trying and they’re not,” AOC said of her Green New Deal critics. “If you’re trying, you’ve got all the power, you’re driving the agenda, you’re doing all this stuff.”

“Like, I just introduced Green New Deal two weeks ago and it’s creating all of this conversation. Why? Because no one else is even trying — because no one else has even tried!”

AOC clapped back at her critics, “I’m like you try! You do it! Cuz you’re not!” AOC said pointing her finger.

“So until you do it, I’M THE BOSS! How about that?” AOC yelled.

VIDEO:

AOC is out of control — she even lectured Americans to eat fewer hamburgers in an interview this week.

James Woods blasted her earlier Saturday after she arrogantly told critics of her Green New Deal to shut up and sit down. “You’re just shouting from the cheap seats,” Ocasio-Cortez said to people who called her out on her radical resolution.

Just like OAN reporter Jack Posobiec said, how long before she puts on a uniform with a dozen medals as she gives long winded lectures?

Venezuelan Troops Open Fire Near Border as Aid Standoff Intensifies

By Carlos Suniaga and Nelson Bocanegra

KUMARAKAPAY, Venezuela/CUCUTA, Colombia (Reuters) – Venezuelan soldiers opened fire on members of an indigenous community near the border with Brazil on Friday, killing at least one and injuring others, as President Nicolas Maduro defied U.S.-backed efforts to bring aid into his economically devastated nation.

The United States, which is among dozens of Western nations to recognize opposition leader Juan Guaido as Venezuela’s legitimate president, has been stockpiling aid in the Colombian frontier town of Cucuta to ship across the border this weekend.

With tensions running high after Guaido invoked the constitution to declare an interim presidency last month, Maduro has denied there is a humanitarian crisis in Venezuela despite widespread shortages of food and medicine and hyperinflation.

Maduro, who took power in 2013 and was re-elected in an election last year widely viewed as fraudulent, says opposition efforts to bring in aid are a U.S.-backed "cheap show" to undermine his government.

The socialist president has declared Venezuela’s southern border with Brazil closed and threatened to do the same with the Colombian border ahead of a Saturday deadline by the opposition to bring in humanitarian assistance.

A fundraising concert for Venezuela, backed by British billionaire Richard Branson and featuring major Latin pop stars like Luis Fonsi of "Despacito" fame, attracted tens of thousands in Cucuta on Friday.

Some political analysts say Saturday’s showdown is less about solving Venezuela’s needs and more about testing the military’s loyalty toward Maduro by daring it to turn the aid away.

With inflation running at more than 2 million percent a year and currency controls restricting imports of basic goods, a growing share of the country’s roughly 30 million people is suffering from malnutrition.

Friday’s violence broke out in the village of Kumarakapay in southern Venezuela after an indigenous community stopped a military convoy heading toward the border with Brazil that they believed was attempting to block aid from entering, according to two community leaders.

Soldiers later entered the village and opened fire, killing a woman, Zoraida Rodriguez, and her husband, and injuring several others, the leaders said. Rodriguez’s brother Guillermo Rodriguez later told Reuters that the husband was still alive but in critical condition after being shot in the stomach.

"I stood up to them to back the humanitarian aid," community leader Richard Fernandez told Reuters. "And they came charging at us. They shot innocent people who were in their homes, working."

Venezuela’s Information Ministry did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

The United States said it condemned the killings that have taken place in Venezuela.

"We stand with the victims’ families in demanding justice," a State Department official said.

Meanwhile China, which along with Russia backs Maduro, warned humanitarian aid should not be forced in because doing so could lead to violence.

BLOODSHED ‘NOT IN VAIN’

The bloodshed contrasted with the festive ambiance at Branson’s "Venezuela Aid Live" in Cucuta.

Venezuelan and Colombian attendees, some crying, waved flags and chanted "freedom" under a baking sun as more streamed in to watch the concert.

Artists like Jose Luis "El Puma" Rodríguez, who is from Venezuela, called for the ruling socialist government to step down as fans sang along with him.

"Is it too much to ask for freedom after 20 years of ignominy, of a populist Marxist dictatorship?" the singer said. "To the Venezuelans there, don’t give up, the blood that has been spilled was not in vain".

Guaido has vowed the opposition will bring in foreign aid from neighboring countries on Saturday and called on security forces to disobey Maduro and let supplies into Venezuela.

He set off toward the Colombian border on Thursday in a convoy with opposition lawmakers to oversee the effort.

"You must decide which side you are on in this definitive hour," Guaido wrote on Twitter. "To all the military: between today and tomorrow, you will define how you want to be remembered."

Guaido’s move to assume the interim presidency and international backing has galvanized Venezuela’s opposition, which has vowed to keep protesting until Maduro steps down. It previously staged major protests in 2014 and 2017 that waned in the face of government crackdowns.

Yet some government critics are concerned it will take more than pressure to force Maduro to step down.

"The truth is that not even 10 concerts will make damned Maduro leave office," said Darwin Rendon, one of the 3.4 million Venezuelans to have emigrated since 2015 to find work.

"This regime is difficult to remove," said Rendon, who sends money back to his family in Caracas.

Several countries have sent supplies to the opposition’s collection points in Cucuta, Brazil and Curacao.

Yet the Venezuelan government overnight soldered three shipping containers, which it has been using to block the traffic lanes on the never-used Tienditas road bridge, to the bridge itself, Colombia’s migration agency said on Friday.

Venezuela this week also closed the maritime border with the Dutch Caribbean islands.

Five of those shot earlier on Friday were rushed by ambulance across the border and were being treated at the Roraima General Hospital in the Brazilian frontier city of Boa Vista, a spokesman for the state governor’s office said.

"They all had gunshot wounds. Three were been treated in the surgery center and two in the trauma sector," he said.
