Former Attorney General Bill Barr said Tuesday that Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) spread false information about the infamous FBI document involving President Joe Biden.



After the FBI met with Raskin and House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comey on Monday — showing them an investigative document that purportedly shows that Biden engaged in a "criminal bribery scheme" as vice president — Raskin dismissed the seriousness of the allegations by claiming the Justice Department had already explored them but closed any probe.

Ron DeSantis has seen his approval rating fall dramatically two weeks after announcing his 2024 presidential bid.



According to online polling company Civiqs' dynamic approval rating graph, DeSantis currently has a net approval rating of negative 19 points, with an average of 55 percent of respondents disapproving of him, compared with 36 percent who have a favorable view of the Republican.



The data shows DeSantis has a major unfavorable rating from those aged 18-34 (63 percent), women (62 percent), as well as African Americans (85 percent), and the Hispanic/Latino population (68 percent).



In comparison, the Florida Governor's overall approval and disapproval rating was tied at 47 percent in early December.



Around this time, suggestions that DeSantis should be the one to lead the GOP in 2024 were gaining momentum after many—including those in the Republican Party—blamed Donald Trump for the party's poor midterm performance. A number of candidates endorsed by the former president lost their races in elections across the country.



DeSantis could take solace in the fact that Trump is currently recording a higher disapproval rating at 57 percent in Civiqs' tracker, with the former president recording disapproval scores in the mid-50s for most of the year.



However, according to FiveThirtyEight's collection of GOP primary polls, Trump has come out on top in all the most recent surveys dating back to March, with a recent Morning Consult poll published June 6 showing the former president 34 points ahead of the Florida Governor (56-22 percent).



The Morning Consult survey also showed that DeSantis is failing to chip into Trump's lead in the polls since confirming he is running for president in a glitchy May 24 Twitter Space announcement.



DeSantis' poll numbers have remained stagnant compared to the previous Morning Consult survey from May 20 (21 percent), and down from his high of 34 percent recorded in January.



The latest survey showed that a fourth of potential primary voters reported hearing something negative about DeSantis over the past week, the highest share since tracking began in late November.







In the subsequent months, DeSantis' approval rating has fallen 19 points, with polls continuing to suggest that Trump is the overwhelming favorite to clinch the GOP presidential nomination in 2024 despite his continuing legal difficulties.

There should be FAR LESS spending on complete waste like subsidies for Loblaws, VW, and Stellantis and instead this money should be used to pay off the record high debt and bring much needed tax relief.

Nothing to do with me! Trudeau blames wildfires on 'climate change' despite being warned for YEARS that Canada needed better forest management to avoid disaster that is now playing out

Canada's wildfires are wreaking havoc on the northeast American coast

But experts say increased forest management could have reduced the risk

New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs, facing an internal revolt from eight of his MLAs over freshly revealed and controversial changes to the policy that sets gender rules in public schools, says he's prepared to fight an election over the issue if need be.



The changes, which were unveiled in Fredericton on Thursday morning, are that:



 "Transgender or non-binary students under 16 will require parental consent in order for their first preferred name to be officially used for recordkeeping purposes." If consent isn't possible, the student will be directed to "the appropriate professional to work with them in the development of a plan to speak with their parents when they are ready to do so". For students over 16, "school personnel will consult with a transgender or non-binary student" "to determine their preferred first name and pronoun(s)";

Right, but the kids that simply want to change their name without changing their pronouns and gender don't get a look-in.



I think I smell discrimination and hate crime here. Lock up whoever drafted the legislation along with anyone that supported it and we'll go from there.

They are so deeply ingrained in the Washington institutions.

New Brunswick could actually going to the polls over this. That is screwed up.

The Supreme Court voted 5–4 on June 8 to strike down Alabama's electoral map for congressional elections, ruling that it was racially discriminatory.



The court narrowly found that the map drafted by Alabama Republicans violated the provisions of the federal Voting Rights Act (VRA), which requires that states not racially gerrymander districts.



Most members of the state's delegation to the U.S. House of Representatives are Republicans. The court's ruling, which requires the adoption of a different map before the 2024 elections, may benefit Democrats.

The Chinese regime's reported plan to create a secret eavesdropping facility in Cuba should be cause for alarm for everyone in the United States, according to lawmakers.



In its latest challenge to the United States, China has reached a deal with Cuba to install an electronic spy base on the island, just about 100 miles from Florida, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing unnamed U.S. officials familiar with highly classified intelligence.



It would be close enough for Chinese intelligence services to garner electronic communications from the southeastern United States—home to many military bases—potentially including emails, phone calls, and satellite transmission data, the officials have said. They said Beijing agreed to pay Havana billions of dollars for the arrangement.

Trump revealed Thursday he had been indicted on seven counts in connection with his handling of allegedly classified documents.



Trump's attorney, Jim Trusty, called the charges — which reportedly include false statements, conspiracy to obstruct and a charge under the Espionage Act — "ludicrous."



Republicans, legal experts, and other keen observers reckon this development is an attempt by the Biden administration and those subject to its influence to sap the Democratic president's top political challenger ahead of the 2024 election.
