WELL, YES: Biden Presidency Bad for America, Most Voters Say.

Only 28% believe it would be better for America if Biden is reelected to a second term in 2024. Forty-two percent (42%) think it would be better for America if former President Donald Trump is elected again in 2024. Twenty-seven percent (27%) say it would be better if somebody else is elected president in 2024.

While 57% of Democratic voters believe Biden’s reelection in 2024 would be better for America, that opinion is shared by only 10% of Republicans and 16% of voters not affiliated with either major party. Sixty-six percent (66%) of Republicans think electing Trump again in 2024 would be better for the country, as do 19% of Democrats and 42% of unaffiliated voters.

19% of Democrats? That’s yuge.

RICHARD FERNANDEZ: What if Things Don’t Go Back to Normal? “The failure of zero Covid, the Afghan collapse before the Taliban, the unexpected energy dependency of Europe on Russian gas, and the stubborn failure of Ukraine to collapse before the Putin blitz caught the experts by surprise and shows all too clearly the limits of prediction. Gone for now is the touching belief the policymakers had in models.”

I’m not so sure about that last part, but I am sure most people’s belief in policymakers is shattered.

HMM: U.S. says it secretly removed malware worldwide, preempting Russian cyberattacks.

The move, made public by Attorney General Merrick Garland, comes as U.S. officials warn that Russia could try to strike American critical infrastructure — including financial firms, pipelines and the electric grid — in response to the crushing sanctions that the United States has imposed on Moscow over the war in Ukraine.

The malware enabled the Russians to create “botnets” — networks of private computers that are infected with malicious software and controlled by the GRU, the intelligence arm of the Russian military. But it is unclear what the malware was intended to do, since it could be used for everything from surveillance to destructive attacks.

A U.S. official said Wednesday that the United States did not want to wait to find out. Armed with secret court orders in the United States and the help of governments around the world, the Justice Department and the FBI disconnected the networks from the GRU’s own controllers.

“Fortunately, we were able to disrupt this botnet before it could be used,” Garland said.

Well, good.

But: “The court orders allowed the FBI to go into domestic corporate networks and remove the malware, sometimes without the company’s knowledge.”

Megan Fox: Yes, the Gender Cult Is Full of Groomers and We Won’t Stop Saying It. “The truth of the matter is this: we are winning this narrative because of the relentless use of the word ‘groomer.’ When the enemy tells you they hate what you are doing, that’s when you need to KEEP DOING IT.”

Matt Margolis: Why Would Trump Want to Return to Twitter? “If Trump wants Truth Social to be a long-term success, he has to use the platform and use it exclusively. If Trump were reinstated on Twitter, he would undermine the very purpose of Truth Social, which has branded itself as a free-speech alternative to Twitter.”

Yours Truly: Mass Graves: You’re Doing De-Nazification Wrong. “What has been confirmed in Bucha ought to shock you, but it shouldn’t surprise you. Similar atrocities, even though usually on a much smaller scale, have been caught on video since the very start of the Russian invasion.”

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Democrats All-In On Being the Pervert Option for November. “The Democrats have long been preying upon the youngest among us via abortion. There was a time, however, that the kids seemed to get a bit of a grace period from them if they managed to survive the Planned Parenthood gauntlet. I don’t know what the kids did to them but that grace period is no more.”

THE BIG GUY GOT HIS 10%: Joe Biden’s Released Tax Returns Don’t Explain Millions In Income. Where Did It Come From? “The same media that ignored Hunter’s laptop has shown a complete incuriosity about these entities, accepting the premise that Joe and Jill raked in $13 million from their book deal to generate their huge increase in income. We simply don’t know if that’s true, though. What we do know is that their book sales were dismal.”

A WORTHY CAUSE: Colorado Groomer School Charges $1,650 to Release FOIA Docs on Secret Transgender Closet. “Today, I’ve organized two fundraisers from which you can choose in order to raise this ridiculous fee and expose this school.”

Update: Megan hit her goal this morning before most people had even left for work and is shutting down both fundraisers.
