Two cases of “what was he thinking??”, here: First, what was he thinking when he actually downplayed the risks of Coronavirus? Even if you’re a big Covid sceptic, surely the low-risk play back in March was to go all out and warn people that the virus was potentially deadly, and to stay at home and […]
The President of the United States, Donald Trump, has been nominated for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize by a member of the Norwegian Parliament. Christian Tybring-Gjedde cited President Trump’s efforts to negotiate peace between Israel and the United Arab Emirates – and to negotiate in the conflict between South and North Korea as a basis for the nomination. Mr […]
The establishment media and political left were swift to downplay the possibility, questioning the trustworthiness of any vaccine touted by the Trump administration.
The greatest chink in Democratic armour however is surely the violence spreading across America, with Antifa activists moving from the inner cities to suburbia on a crusade that might now become the greatest self-sabotage mission in living memory.
49-47 to Biden, says Emerson College Polling, which is significant for two reasons. First, there’s an awful lot of crappy polling in American elections – if you want an opinion poll to show your guy winning, then you’ll usually be able to find someone who’ll produce one for you. But Emerson College isn’t a crappy […]
Vice President Joe Biden accepted the Democratic nomination for President of the United States last night, and has now been formally ratified as President Trump’s opponent for the election, scheduled for November 3rd. Here are his full remarks: Biden promised that his first action if he is elected president will be to “get control of […]
The Democratic National Convention, which will, tomorrow night, nominate Joe Biden to replace Donald Trump, is well underway. And last night, Bill Clinton gave a typically Bill Clinton speech. Preceded, of course, by a typically Bill Clinton headline: New photos show Bill Clinton getting massage from Epstein accuser https://t.co/g6hObcblMt pic.twitter.com/lSiRoNJfuU — New York Post (@nypost) […]
Promises, promises. But RTE is convinced, naturally: Senior Democrats in the US have claimed that Joe Biden will be a friend to Ireland if elected US president. The Biden Campaign held a virtual rally for Irish-American voters and Democratic Congressman Brendan Boyle told the event that the Brexit process had put hard won peace and […]
Polling over the last few months in the US election has been fairly consistent: Donald Trump’s goose is well and truly cooked. It’s not just one pollster either – it’s been all of them. An approval rating stuck in the very low forties, and states like Texas and Georgia, which have always been rock solid […]
One of the more unusual things that’s been happening in the (increasingly ignored) world of Coronavirus recently is that the massive surge in cases in the United States has not, as yet, been accompanied by a surge in deaths from the virus. This has prompted some people – in and outside of science – to […]
Kanye West for President? Come off it. There’s no way they’re going to elect a loudmouthed celebrity with a big twitter following and no prior political experience, is there? They can’t? Can they? Yes they Kanye. https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/1279575273365594112 The single biggest thing going against him, believe it or not, isn’t that he’s a pop star with […]
All of the caveats must apply, obviously, to polls, and the biggest and most important one when it comes to President Trump is that if you believed the evidence of the polling in 2016, as yours truly did, then you’d have been shocked by the result (as yours truly, and many others, were). But still: […]
