    …."Democrats believe that China is our friend," Banks said. "They believe that we can work with China, that we can coexist with a rising China. And on the Republican side, we recognize that China's the greatest threat economically and militarily that's posed toward the United States today."

    Warning that China has built up a military that America is "not well equipped" to fight against, Banks said, "We have to give our military personnel the more sophisticated technologies that they need to fight back against an adversary, an enemy in China that we've never seen before."

    "The Democrats are completely asleep at the wheel when it comes to the China threat," he added.

    Conservative politicians are also sounding the alarm about leftist ideology infiltrating the military and its implications for national security.

    "Wokeness is weakness," Banks said. "And the more that we project weakness in our military, the more we're projecting weakness on the world stage, our adversaries see it, and China is laughing to the bank every time they see our military leadership advance critical race theory and anti-Americanism on our troops because they know it's destructive."

    "Our military has lost its focus," Tenney opined. "We've become risk-averse. We've become social experiments, as opposed to dealing with, you know, the real risks that we face," such as that of China.….

    B
    iden is making our economy weak by all of his trade, energy, tax, regulatory policies. He’s destroying our manufacturing again and our energy sector. Our trading partners mock him and us. His worship of the green new deal is detrimental to the American people. His disregard of the threat that China poses to us and our allies is executive malpractice. His social policies and woke theories are disrupting our military. He has us ill prepared to face any real global threat.

    Thank God for congressional Republicans who are sounding the alarm as to the dangerous position Biden is placing America in on every economic, national security/defense issue and adversary we face.

    He's not doing any of those things
    Not at all, in fact it's Republicans that can't see the writing on the wall in the energy sector.
    No, they don't. You have some kind of proof of this "mocking"? I don't think so.
    We either start it or are going to have to play catch up......which will be even MORE hurtful. Like I said.....the writing's on the wall. You want to be oil independendent then we better be doing better with renewable energy. It's really that simple.
    What proof, other than Republican opinion.....which is simply to lie about anything and everything is there that he has a disregard of China.
    Biden doesn't make those calls. This is really sad on your part.
    This statement is made about every Democratic President and it's never been true but what IS true is Republican presidents getting us into endless wars for the sole purpose of making a buck. Sad.

    A NEWS article!! You think that was a NEWS article??!! How blind can you be. A supposed NEWS article written by a very young woman whose previous experience was a copy editor at BREITBART!! Do you actually think the article is "fair and balanced"? It's not. It's sole purpose is to get people like you riled up with complete nonsense.
    Not even a good try on your part. Sad......again.

    The fact that a "clump of cells" matters is brought to you by the same legal minds that said corporations are people too which opened the door for Citizens Unitied.
    This court is a disgrace.

    Without a shadow of a doubt, the military is the weakest it has ever been. It’s only ‘strong’ in terms of the stupid bombs and what not they throw around. If our army had to hit boots on ground against another foreign superpower, we would have our asses whipped. No doubt about it. Yeah, sure, go throw a bunch of trannies and gay guys out there in battle. I’m sure that will all pan out real well. Make no mistake about it, the Russian and Chinese soldiers are holding their bellies in laughter as they see our shenanigans.

    **** GOP politicians.
    **** all that they stand for

    Imagine thinking gay people and women serving in the military is the issue and we should desire to be more like China who literally kills fetuses because of their gender against the mothers wishes. I guess fascist nations agree women have no right to the most fundamental right of her own body

    Regardless what was done here it is categorically and objectively a hard news article about current events the bias here against conservative media notwithstanding. I seeded it correctly stand by my seeding where I put it and make no apologies for doing so and will do it again and again with news articles written or quoted by reporters from conservative news sources. If the original source lists an article as news I thread it here as such. If they say it’s opinion then I thread it as opinion. I take and trust their knowledge of what they are doing with their trade than absolutely everyone here. Thank you Karen 2 for your concern.

    Oh the ‘not so’ silent generation always does, I know you will — the issue is gen Y and gen X not voting.
    Y’all no longer have the numbers to overrule them even with a structural benefit in the EC.
    The great thing is our numbers are only increasing while your numbers are… not.

    At least four current members of the court were not on it when that correct decision came down.

    The Hispanic young lady from Texas leading a younger Hispanic women’s movement to the GOP will prove you wrong about our numbers declining. Our multi racial theistic friendly working and middle class coalition is taking hold.

    hispanics have always been hugely conservative, especially elderly Hispanics.

    Note the age and educational attainment portions

    I am not sure what graph you are looking here:
    upload_2022-7-3_20-9-16.png

    As much as Biden is disliked across the board by Independence Democrats and Republicans, these numbers should terrify you. Go back and look when the prior administration was in office

    Here are the numbers from 2004

    I think it is wonderful that people are leaving the duopoly

    Compare with the last Trump June 2020 R/I/D

    2020 Jun 8-30 26 38 33
    2022 Jun 1-20 27 43 27

    GOP up 4% Dems down 18% but the GOP should be "terrified"? Sure, we're shaking.

    Assigning the indies as GOP or Dem leaners and adding them:
    R/D
    2022 Jun 1-20 46 45
    2020 Jul 1-23 41 47

    We're up 12% Dems are down 4%

    Thanks for the attachment going back to 2004. Certainly the growth has been in Independents, and I'm all for that.

    On my link, if you go to page 16 you get the June 2004 numbers with Indies split by lean:
    R/D
    2004 Jun 21-23 43 50

    We've gone from -7 to +1, so, I'm not sure why this should "terrify" me.

    It’s not like Russia hasn’t hit cities deep inside Ukraine with Rocket/missiles. It’s about time the war gets taken to the naked aggressors homeland.,

    So you are waiting for me to die and hoping that demographics work out as you think they might.

    I am waiting for you to post a source showing that the demographic changes were occurring only because of Covid

    And I don’t “think“ anything. I am simply using multiple demographic and population surveys that indicate the youth is heavily weighted away from Republican ideals and are not growing vastly more conservative as they age as previous generations have done, probably due to the ease of accessing independent and factual media from around the world showing that the far right is depriving them of the basic liberty that many other nations enjoy.

    The periods you are selecting are kind of random You are comparing a period when the Republicans had control with a very polarizing Republican president and then comparing that to a period with a universally disliked Democratic president. Yes, that Republicans only went up one point during this time should concern you. Those lean voters, at least according to other polls, are almost all against what your supreme court just did and will probably vote accordingly.

    From the first date tracking data to current:
    The Republicans are down 15.6%
    The Democrats are down 3.6%

    On the independent scale for lean
    Republicans are down about 4.1%
    Democrats are down about 2.2%
