Trump Says He Will Cut Energy Bills In ‘Half’ During Fox News Town Hall

Published

on

Former President Donald Trump pledged to cut energy bills in half during a Fox News town hall with women voters aired Wednesday.

“Everything starts with interest rates,” Trump said, adding that a solution to the inflation crisis also “starts with energy.”

“I’m making this pledge here,” Trump said. “But I have made it a couple of days before,” Trump teased. “Your energy bill, which is a very big bill, will be down 50 percent starting one year from Jan. 20.”

Harris Faulkner, who moderated the hour-long forum, pressed the Republican presidential nominee on how reductions in energy costs “trickle down” to reduce prices across the economy.

“The interest rates have come down and the inflation rate has come down, but it’s like we are going uphill constantly with these price increases,” Faulkner said.

“The interest doesn’t come down very much,” Trump said. “Everything is revolved around energy. That’s what caused inflation, energy, more than anything else including their stupid spending on the Green New Deal. They spent money, so much money, and that caused it also. But the biggest thing was they went away from my energy policy.”

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris promptly forfeited Trump’s strategy of American energy dominance upon inauguration in 2021 with regulations designed to curb U.S. fuel production. Americans suffered months of record gas prices and the most expensive outbreak of inflation in 40 years just one year into the Democrats’ administration.

“If your energy bills come down to half,

SCOTUS Has Higher Approval Rating Than Before Dobbs Decision While Trust In Media Plummets

Published

on

Americans’ trust in mass media hit a new low again in Gallup’s annual survey on confidence in the press, while faith in the Supreme Court inched upward.

Gallup reported the results of the group’s latest poll on trust in the news media Monday. The poll found just 31 percent of Americans maintain a “great deal” or a “fair amount” of confidence in newspapers, television networks, and radio to report on events “fully, accurately and fairly.” The number of Americans reporting a “great deal” or “fair amount” of trust in the media has not increased in Gallup’s survey since 2018, when at 45 percent, the press enjoyed its highest level of confidence since 2009.

Today, 36 percent of those surveyed reported no confidence in the media, while 33 percent said their level of trust could be described as “not very much.”

Americans’ opinions of the Supreme Court, on the other hand, have begun to improve following the drop and subsequent plateau in support from 2021 to 2023, when the high bench faced unprecedented attacks from Democrats politicizing controversial decisions.

As of September, 44 percent of Americans approved of the way the Supreme Court is handling its job, according to Gallup. Fifty-one percent, or roughly half, disapprove, representing a 7-point drop from the same month in the previous two years after justices overturned the abortion precedent established by Roe v. Wade with the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision.

“The Court currently has a higher approval rating now than before the

Record Voter Turnout Wrecks Democrats’ ‘Jim Crow 2.0’ Lies About Georgia Election Integrity Law

Published

on

“This is Jim Crow in the 21st Century,” President Joe Biden said in 2021.

“These blatantly unconstitutional efforts … are nothing less than Jim Crow 2.0,” failed gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams said.

“This is Jim Crow 2.0,” South Carolina Rep. James Clyburn said.

That’s how Democrats described Georgia’s Election Integrity Act of 2021, which expanded voting opportunities and added a requirement for voters to show ID in order to receive an absentee ballot. Their deliberately false and inflammatory rhetoric set off a flurry of criticism from major corporations, activists, and members of the propaganda press.

But the Peach State is once again seeing record-high voter turnout as the state begins its early voting period.

Chief Operating Officer for Georgia’s Secretary of State Office Gabe Sterling reported that more than 328,000 early votes and absentee votes had been cast on the first day of early voting (Tuesday), breaking past records.

In fact, some voters told CNN it was far more “easy” to vote this go around than in past cycles.

“Last time I voted, I voted in the city, and the lines were out the door,” Corine Canada, a black woman, told CNN. “They only had like, maybe like three people working. And so people honestly just started leaving because it was like that. Yeah, like, ‘This is too long. I can’t sit here and wait, I have to go back to work.’ But here, no, it was easy!”

But surely that can’t be true — we were reliably informed

Trump Pledges To Keep Men Out Of Women’s Sports: ‘We’re Not Gonna Let It Happen’

Published

on

Former President Donald Trump pledged on Wednesday to keep trans-identifying men out of women’s sports if elected this November.

The moment came during a Fox News town hall with Georgia women voters moderated by Harris Faulkner, host of “The Faulkner Focus.” Trump was asked by an audience member named Linda about how he would approach the issue of men identifying as women competing in women’s sports leagues. The Georgia resident said she has nine grandchildren, six of whom are girls and play sports.

“We’re not gonna let it happen,” Trump said. “We absolutely stop it. You can’t have it. It’s a man playing in the game [against women].”

The former president noted the biological and physical advantages men have over women. He also cited a recent incident of a male competing against female athletes.

Trump is seemingly referencing a video shared on social media of a San Jose State University volleyball player who goes by the name Blaire Fleming — a trans-identifying male — spiking the ball into the face of his female opponent. According to the New York Post, the video showed San Diego State University junior Keira Herron “was knocked down after the hit, and the crowd audibly gasped.”

Female volleyball players whose teams are scheduled to play San Jose State have forfeited their matches in protest of Fleming being allowed to compete against women. On Monday, the University of Nevada volleyball team revealed to Outkick that it’s joining the volleyball teams of Southern Utah University, Boise
