oe Biden and Jill Biden appeared on The View and it looked like they were trying to rehabilitate Joe in the public to make it look like he's functional and always was. And he did not look functional. He looked like he was a mess and Jill had to jump in and try to save him on one important question. But apparently even the Democrat consultants are mad that the Bidens returned to the spotlight. How…

So the one thing that Trump promised us appears to be real which is that big companies will move their production into the United States if they can and the car manufacturers are probably among the ones who would have the easiest time moving their production. So looks like it's happening.
In other news for the first time ever the volume of Google searches went down. And that's because a senior Apple executive said that in a court situation that Google searches over Safari fell for the last two months. And that's something that hasn't happened in 20 years. So I guess it wasn't forever but in over 20 years and the executive attributed the drop to the number of people using AI, ChatGPT and Perplexity. So big things are going to change with Google's business model. Part of it might be they have to break up because of some kind of monopoly claims that are being made. But the other possibility is that nothing will happen because there is a new competition and AI will be eating their lunch unless they do something big to correct.
I've talked about this before but I'm going to put it in a larger context today. If you haven't seen it yet you need to see the video of Victor Davis Hanson explaining how the fake polls do their faking. And apparently it's just really easy. All they do is they control what percentage of voters for each candidate, Trump versus non-Trump, that they talk to. So if they want a poll to look bad for Trump they don't ask many Trump voters what their opinion was. And if they want it to look good for Trump or not good for Trump because they never want that. If they want it to look accurate like all the pollsters do just before the actual election because that's the one time you can check their work then all they do is make sure they ask the representative number of Trump voters versus non-Trump voters. And it's sort of that easy. And they even show their work. So you could if you knew enough you could look at their cross tabs or whatever it is and they publish it and they tell you what percentage are this kind of voters or this kind of voters and you could tell that they were doing that.
Now what Victor Davis Hanson says he gives some details. He says the New York Times and the Washington Post polls they were deliberately not counting people who surveyed that they were Trump supporters in 2024 and that was half the country but they were only polling about a third. And then he mentions some other people. He says the most egregious of all these polls was the NPR PBS Marist poll. And they had Trump being super unpopular after his first 100 days. And apparently they may have used that same trick. I think that's what he's alleging. And there the same poll he says that came out the night before the 2024 election that said that Kamala Harris would win by four points and they said it was beyond the margin of error. And she ended up losing by a point and a half. In other words they were five and a half points off right before the election.
Now you can't really be five and a half points off if you're a professional polling organization unless you're trying to. I mean that would be a really big mistake a day before the election. So my larger point here is that apparently based on what Victor Davis Hanson says it kind of looks like polling is fake. At least political polling not corporate or the commercial stuff is probably fine but at least the political stuff seems to be highly biased.
But Rasmussen which is not part of these bad behavior polls with the Heartland Institute did a poll and this is the most shocking thing you'll ever hear in a poll in the United States. 71% of Democrats would favor a hypothetical law to put Musk behind bars for his work on DOGE as would 80% of self-identified liberal voters. Can you believe that? That for him risking his life and his fortune and working all hours of the night for the service of the country trying to cut our expenses and saving us from going off the ledge and spending that somehow the propaganda was so effective that 71% of Democrats would want him to be locked up in jail for what exactly would be the crime is stuff they just make up?
Because you hear all the people like the Democrat leaders say oh he's only doing it to lower the taxes on the oligarchs like himself. He's only doing it to cut the regulators who are trying to control his megalomania or something. And then 71% of Democrats were so convinced that that stuff was true that they would be in favor of locking him up. I'll tell you if you ever get the impulse to do something that's really good for America don't do it. It's a suicide mission. Oh my god.
But did DOGE do what it was supposed to do? Well

I saw a post by an X user John Sers and I think he was using Grok as his source which makes this interesting. But here's what you need to know. There's a great controversy about how much DOGE benefited the budget. Now you would not be surprised to know that some left-leaning groups have a much lower opinion of what DOGE did. So remember that DOGE was looking to try to get two trillion in spending…
