This New York Times survey is interesting because of the similarities it reveals. It may be legit because it’s asking general questions and is clear about how it was conducted.

When President Trump first started yakking about Panama, it sounded like a distraction or diversion. Flood the zone with initiatives to baffle the opposition. I was wrong. The Panama Canal was slipping away.
Jon Stewart is talented and astute. He’s much funnier when he is attacking the other guys.
CIA shifts assessment on Covid origins, saying lab leak likely caused outbreak. Good work CIA, that would have been good to know four years ago. Back then, the Biden crime family was taking money from China, the CIA was working against President Trump and corporate media was busy slandering anyone who mentioned the Wuhan Lab as racist or a conspiracy theorist.
President Trump went to Los Angeles to observe the wildfire response, and it’s astounding and wonderful.
It’s easy to forget that when Al Gore was vice president, he was tasked with reducing government waste. Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk have the same task with DOGE. Democrats should find a way to constructively participate.
Biden had the record for most executive orders signed on the first day of a presidential term with 9 orders. Prior to Biden, going back 40 years, the average is a half-order on the first day. Trump said that he would have close to a hundred. He was busy yesterday, but I haven’t seen a full count yet.
A popular lie about Trump has been that he made campaign promises that he never intended to keep. The first term showed that he did all he could to fulfill his promises, but was opposed by all of the Democrats and half of the Republicans. That won’t happen this term. The opposition Republicans are gone and the Democrats are currently in the minority. This will be an interesting four years.
I appreciate a person who acts deliberately, and isn’t just acting because that’s how it’s always been done. Trump’s decision to sign the first set of Executive Actions in a public forum, is very well done. Since the Biden/Trump debate, it’s been generally recognized that President Biden is cognitively impaired.
Marco Rubio unanimously confirmed by Senate to be Secretary of State. That is great to see. I have no idea whether or not Rubio will be good at the job, but it’s a promising sign that the Senate can unanimously support a Trump decision. At this point, Never Trumpers are ridiculous. Oppose a Trump decision on the merits, not because Trump proposed it.
Jimmy Carter just passed away at 100 years old.
I was sixteen when Jimmy Carter was elected, so wasn’t paying much attention. Carter got ridiculed for an incident where a rabbit harassed his fishing boat. That was a dumb story, but journalists don’t seem to be very smart.
Jimmy Carter was weak tea. He had a good resume, but was too idealistic to be effective. He grew up pretty poor, attended the Naval Academy and was trained on nuclear reactors. Carter was a good Christian and a good family man.
