New York Judge DELAYS Trump sentencing following SCOTUS immunity ruling



It’s been quite the week for former President Donald Trump.

Not only did his debate against President Joe Biden send Democrats scrambling — the Supreme Court ruled that the president has immunity when executing "official acts."

Following that decision, Trump’s team moved to overturn the conviction of the former president in the Manhattan case, where he was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records.

As a result, Trump’s sentencing hearing has been postponed until September. While many conservatives are taking it as a win, Sara Gonzales remains skeptical.

“Part of me is like what else are they planning?” Gonzales says, adding, “They don’t give up that easily.”

“It’s either that or they see all of this imploding before their very eyes, and they don’t want to look stupid, so they’re like, ‘Yeah, we’ll just delay it, and then maybe people will forget about it,’” she continues, “But you’ve got to believe that they are completely scrambling to figure out what to do.”

“All of these bombshells they thought that they had are now seemingly getting totally overturned,” she adds.

Matthew Marsden finds it interesting that the liberal response to the Supreme Court’s ruling has been overwhelmingly one of fear.

“It’s amazing how the liberals went absolutely bonkers and said that the Supreme Court ruling was about Trump,” Marsden says. “It’s just about the law; it’s about the Constitution.”

Biden approval crashes to 41% after disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal



President Joe Biden's approval rating has cratered in the wake of his heavily criticized withdrawal from Afghanistan and disorganized evacuation of American citizens and Afghan allies from the Taliban-controlled capital, Kabul.

A new USA Today/Suffolk University poll found that Biden's job approval has dropped to 41%, with 55% of survey respondents saying they disapprove of the president's performance. It is a significant drop for Biden, who until last week has generally enjoyed an approval rating above 50% in national polls.

Biden is still strongly backed by Democrats, with 87% of the party faithful voicing support for the president. But only 32% of independents said they approve of how the president is handling the job.

The poll was conducted last Thursday through Monday, as the crisis in Afghanistan dominated media headlines. The survey also found that 50% approve of Biden's handling of the pandemic, 39% approve of his handling of the economy, and just 26% approve of his handling of Afghanistan.

"Today, President Biden's overall approval has taken a turn for the worse due to his awful job performance rating on Afghanistan," David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk Political Research Center, said. "His approval on immigration and the economy are also upside down. The only issue keeping him remotely in the game is his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, where he is barely at 50%."

Most Americans support the president's decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan, which followed former President Donald Trump's attempt to reach an agreement for withdrawal with the Taliban.

But survey respondents criticized Biden for letting the Taliban seize U.S. military equipment and weapons and for shifting blame for the Taliban's speedy take over of the country onto the failure of U.S.-trained Afghan security forces.

The trouble for Biden isn't just brewing at home. The United States' international partners have openly criticized the president's handling of withdrawal. German politician Armin Laschet, widely seen as the apparent successor to Chancellor Angela Merkel, called the situation "the greatest debacle that NATO has seen since its foundation."

The U.K. parliament voted to hold Biden in contempt in what the BBC described as "an unprecedented rebuke to a U.S. president."

European leaders at the virtual G7 summit urged Biden to extend the August 31 deadline for U.S. troops to withdraw from the country to give international troops more time to evacuate their country's citizens and Afghan allies, but the president ignored their requests.
