This is good for American workers, if you think about it:

Biden's approval on the economy hits thirty percent.

Kenneth P. Vogel @kenvogel

Just 1% of 18-to-29-yr-olds strongly approve of BIDEN's job performance.

94% of Dems under 30 said they wanted another candidate to run in 2024.

And, more immediately, only 32% of young people said they are "almost certain" to vote in 2022, per NYT/Siena

Americans are tuning out of the Fake News media.

Axios portrays this as Americans tuning out of the news. I'd say it's leftwingers tuning out of the bad news of their disaster of a political party, and their water-carrier propaganda media that cannot polish this turd no matter how hard they try.

You'll note in the article above, the websites that are being tuned-out of are all "mainstream" news sites, which means "non-mainstream leftwing propaganda conspiracy sites" like CNN, ABC, etc.

Engagement with news content has plunged during the first half of this year compared to the first half of 2021 and in some cases has fallen below pre-pandemic levels.

Why it matters: Americans have grown exhausted from the constant barrage of bad headlines that have replaced Trump-era crises, scandals and tweets.

No, the Blue Anon conspiracy theory sites of the far left like MSNBC, Daily Beast, CNN, etc. are just losing credibility as none of their predicted conspiracy theories and wild predictions are proving true.

...

Details: Engagement with news content across all platforms declined significantly in the first half of 2022.

You mean the leftwing propaganda corporate media which you consider "legitimate" despite its lack of legitimacy.

Cable viewership across the three major cable news networks -- CNN, Fox News and MSNBC -- is, on average, down 19% in prime time for the first half of this year compared to the first half of 2021. Those losses skew heavily toward CNN and MSNBC, which are down 47% and 33%, respectively. Fox's ratings are up 12% in that six-month span.

News app sessions for the top 12 mainstream most-trafficked publishers dropped 16% in the first half of 2022, according to data from Apptopia.

Website visits for the top 5 news websites in the U.S. by unique visits tracked by Similarweb dropped 18% in the first half of 2022.

Engagement on social media with news articles cratered over the past six months, dropping 50% since the first half of last year, despite more articles published, according to data from Newswhip. Engagement is measured by interactions with articles posted, which includes likes, comments and shares.

Aw. Water my pube-lawn with your sad-sprinklers.

Supposedly, Hunter Biden could face charges for human trafficking, because he paid to transport hookers across state lines.

EXCLUSIVE: Hunter Biden could face prostitution charges for transporting hookers across state lines and disguising checks to them as payments for 'medical services.' First Son spent $30k in five months on 'the girlfriend experience'

Documents, texts and videos obtained by DailyMail.com show Hunter Biden spent a staggering $30,000 on escorts in a five-month period

Hunter wrote checks to a Ukrainian woman named Ekaterina Moreva who was named in red flag reports by banks for suspicious activity, documents reveal

A Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) filed by JPMorgan Chase flagged transactions involving Moreva after she received tens of thousands of dollars from Hunter's company

Photos from Hunter's iPhone show he wrote checks disguised as medical services to prostitutes supplied by Moreva, whose website offers a 'girlfriend experience'

Videos and pictures show Hunter helping transport these women from Boston to New York for a debauched night with him -- a potential federal offense

I doubt this. He's talking about the Mann Act, which prohibits the transportation of women across state lines for illicit purposes.

This law is not enforced much. It will be enforced when there's another factor, another crime, like the girl is underage, or she's being kidnapped. Then they'll slap a Mann Act rap on top of that.

But just the Mann Act on its own? Nah.

Jesse Watters discusses this.

Meanwhile, Pedo Peter's brother James Biden -- called, Mafia-like, Jimmy the Chin -- induced a Middle East company to loan him money, promising them that his "political connections" would open business opportunities for them.

The company wound up going bankrupt.

"We are concerned the U.S. Treasury Department continues to stonewall our investigation into the Biden family's suspicious foreign business transactions flagged by banks. Evidence continues to mount showing the Biden family peddled access to the highest levels of government to enrich themselves. According to new information obtained by Committee Republicans and confirmed by court filings, during 2017, James Biden--the President's brother--promised funding from 'the Middle East' for a business deal 'based on his political connections' because his last name 'Biden' could 'open doors.' This is troubling and may implicate national security. In light of this new information, we again reiterate our previous requests for suspicious activity reports (SARs) connected to the Biden family," wrote Ranking Member Comer.

A recent filing in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky alleges James Biden fraudulently induced Americore Holdings, LLC to provide loans to him that were never repaid. According to the lawsuit, James Biden promised to use his political connections to benefit Americore and in exchange Americore lent him over $600,000. James Biden never delivered on his promise to secure funding from countries such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar, which forced the company into bankruptcy. Ranking Member Comer is investigating the Biden family and associates' suspicious foreign business transactions flagged by U.S. banks to determine if they threaten national security, but the U.S. Treasury Department is refusing to provide the requested information.

The Treasury Department and DOJ continue stonewalling as Nixon's men did during Watergate, and NeverTrump -- the Defenders of Democracy -- continue to not call for a special prosecutor.

Kamela Harris's speechwriter -- wait, she had a speechwriter? Someone wrote that? -- obviously Failed to Position Her For Success and so she's gone now.

By the way, she had another Tossed Salad of brilliant wordplay two days ago.

Biden the Racial Healer: The Palestinians are like tacos, and the Israelis are like hungry Englishmen with bad table manners.

Margaret Brennan @margbrennan

President Biden while standing in East Jerusalem: "... the background of my family is Irish American. And we have a long history not fundamentally unlike the Palestinian people, with Great Britain and their attitude toward Irish Catholics over the years for 400 years."

I'm really disgusted at this guy's constant casual racial offense-giving, and I'm not just being silly. He's constantly attempting to "relate" to races with these 1950s kind of "observations," and it's always these ugly, clumsy insults to one group or the other.

Here, he's insulting the Jews as being colonists.

He's also justifying bombing the "English," or the Israelis.

Why do they still let him talk about race at all? Why is he not wearing a shock-button at the base of his neck?

Are the Adults Back in Charge yet, NeverTrump?

I've said this before, but I'm sick to death of Biden putting down the Irish by casually slurring the Irish as being angry and ready to fight and all the rest of the old stupid racial stereotypes. If Biden wants to admit his own personal flaws, he can -- but don't tag me with them, Jack. I've got nothing to do with you.

I'm not a pedophile, for example.

But he thinks it's charming to talk about his Irish heritage and engage in some Racial Deprecation.

You're not Irish, asshole. You're American.

Supposedly.

Biden's Fistbump Diplomacy gets the crankpants reaction from the leftist agitation site The Washington Post:

Sunny McSunnyface @sunnyright

"From the Washington Post's endorsement in 2020:

"On foreign policy, Mr. Biden offers an enormously positive change...

He would end Mr. Trump’s...coddling of Arab dictatorships such as Saudi Arabia"

Womp womp.

Alex Stein #99 also heckled Kinzinger yesterday. We didn't hear about that because he doesn't have the Drama Cyclone powers that AOC does.

Via Director Blue with the daily top 20 tweets.

Mollie @MZHemingway

AOC is doing a far, far, far better job criticizing -- heck, MENTIONING! -- Pelosi's refusal to investigate security breaches at the Capitol than Pelosi's handpicked handmaiden Liz Cheney is, if you're wondering why Cheney types are so unpopular with actual Republicans.

That tweet here, with AOC's rant, if you missed it.
