Things Good But Republicans Are Focused On....

A lot of noise but no ideas.

Democrats deliver results.

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris do not get enough credit for the way things are in the United States. The country's unemployment rate still under 4%.

Inflation slowed to 3% last month, according to the latest Consumer Price Index released Wednesday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

When Russia launched it war against Ukraine, Biden told the American public that sanctions on Russia will drive inflation and it could cripple the U.S. economy in the short term. Well in 2022, gas was souring pass $5 dollars, food prices went up, rent/utilities increased and housing prices soared.

All this talk about a recession is no longer in the news. Republicans were banking on the economy failing. They were hoping that inflation and the policies Biden enacted will bring them back to power.

Well the Republicans barely have control of the House of Representatives. 

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Rep. James Comer (R-KY) and Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) are embarrassing the Republicans.

The Republicans are zeroed in on conspiracy theories and culture wars. When they promised to restore sanity into Washington, they really meant that they're planning on confronting Biden with noise.

The Republicans have no actual plans. They refuse to step outside the bubble. They're invested in the noise they've heard off of Fox, Newsmax, The Daily Mail, Breitbart, Twitter and the mouth of Washed Up 45.

Biden's public approval rating held steady at 40% in early July, close to the lowest levels of his presidency, as economic worries continued to trouble Americans, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll this week.

The three-day online poll, which asked Americans, "Do you approve or disapprove of the way Joe Biden is handling his job as president?" and ended on Monday, showed a marginal decrease from his 41% approval rating a month earlier, within the survey's three percentage point margin of error.

The largest number of respondents -- 21% -- cited the economy as their top concern, following by 15% who cited crime or corruption. The White House in recent weeks has kicked off a series of events aimed to lift Americans' dour mood about the economy, touting what it calls the Democratic president's "Bidenomics" agenda.

Biden's rating is identical to his Republican predecessor Donald Trump's 41% approval at this point in his presidency, a relatively low number compared to their immediate predecessors, Democrat Barack Obama and Republican George W. Bush.

Respondents were evenly split in their views of the Supreme Court's decision last month to strike down Biden's student loan forgiveness program, with 49% supporting the decision and 48% opposed. A majority -- 60% -- said they supported the court's move to end the use of affirmative action in college admissions.

Some 70% of respondents said they would support term limits for Supreme Court justices, including 85% of Democrats and 56% of Republicans. The poll was conducted following the high court’s term, which saw the court strike down college affirmative action programs as well as Biden's student debt plan.

The Reuters/Ipsos poll was conducted online, in English, and collected responses from 1,028 adults, using a nationally representative sample.

The junk food media obsession with Biden's age, his gaffes, Hunter Biden and the latest culture wars have driven these poll numbers. I mean I am not saying the economy is bad, but I rather be working at my previous employer than my current employers. Working two jobs isn't something I like to do.

However, I am surviving and I am not complaining about how things are bad.
