As the attacks on former President Donald Trump ramp up, so does the degeneracy of the Biden administration.

The worse it gets, the more Sara Gonzales and Jaco Booyens believe we might be in the midst of a holy war.

“This is a holy war against God and this country, led part and parcel [by] POTUS, the president of the United States,” Booyens says, adding, “This is a war, it’s a battle. This is the year of reformation. The demons are loose, they’re announcing themselves because that name, that day is so powerful.”

However, Gonzales has some good news.

“This is a book where we do know the ending,” she says. “We know how it ends, but getting to that process, we’re going to have to take back major territory in the meantime.”

That territory starts in our local communities and ends at the White House — which the Democrats are pulling out all the stops to keep.

Each case against Donald Trump is a testament to this.

“You want to talk about the demons being out to get, you know, the side that’s trying to squash them,” Gonzales says, referencing one of the latest attacks against Trump as an example.

After prosecutors in Trump’s Stormy Daniels “hush money” case requested that the judge clarify a gag order imposed on Donald Trump after he criticized the judge’s daughter on social media, the Democrat media went wild.

Booyens calls the media’s reaction “the manifestation of chaotic spirits that these people are in agreement with.”

“They have chosen a side of evil, and light is coming into darkness. And it’s not Donald Trump. It is God saying, 'I want my nation back.'"

'Just brutal': ABC News breaks down new poll that could not get any worse for Biden's re-election hopes

ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos admitted Sunday that a new ABC News/Washington Post poll is disastrous for President Joe Biden.

"This poll is just brutal for President Biden," Stephanopoulos said on ABC's "This Week."

What did the poll show?

The poll found that Biden's job approval ratings are 20 points under water — 36% approval to 56% disapproval — and discovered that a majority of Americans, by an 18-point margin, believe that Donald Trump handled the economy better than Biden has.

\u201c\u201cThe skepticism over his leadership extends deep inside his own party\u2014only 36% of Democrats think that their party should nominate Joe Biden for a second term.\u201d \n\n@RickKlein\u2019s "The Breakdown" is back with highlights from the new @ABC News/WaPo poll: https://t.co/h7jF1HIpAW\u201d
— This Week (@This Week) 1683473470

And even though a majority of respondents said they believe Trump should face criminal charges for various potential cases against him, the poll found that in a hypothetical rematch between Trump and Biden, the president would lose: 44% of respondents said they would "probably" or "definitely" vote for Trump, while just 38% said they would "probably" or "definitely" vote for Biden.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) would also defeat Biden, 42% to 37%, according to the poll.

Like many other recent surveys, the ABC/WaPo also showed that a majority of Democratic-leaning voters do not want Biden to be their party's 2024 nominee. And if it could get worse for Biden, respondents said two-to-one that they believe Biden has neither the physical nor mental capabilities to be president. A majority also said they do not believe Biden is trustworthy.

ABC News political director Rick Klein, meanwhile, explained how Biden is losing support among voters he needs to win re-election.

"You see real weaknesses in the coalition that powered Joe Biden to the presidency back in 2020. Biden carried independents by 13 points against Donald Trump. He is now trailing Trump by 9 points among those same voters," Klein said.

"He carried black voters by 75 points in 2020. He is up just 35," he continued. "That may sound like a lot, but the fact of the matter is, in modern politics, that is not the kind of number that a Democrat needs to be victorious."

Anything else?

Later in the show, Donna Brazile admitted she lost sleep over the poll.

"It kept me up," she said, explaining the poll proves the White House is "still unable to get a real, good strong message to the American people — not just on the accomplishments but where they want to take the country."

'It's an embarrassment': Democrats express shame over Biden's apparent mishandling of secret documents

The recent revelations about President Joe Biden's improper retention of top-secret documents have prompted some Democrats to embrace absurd conspiracy theories about who is really to blame. Others have downplayed the severity of the scandal.

A handful of Democrats have now admitted that the recent turn of events painting the Democratic president as a hypocrite are "embarrassing."

What are the details?

Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) told NBC's "Meet the Press" that "it's certainly embarrassing" that Biden should be caught having done precisely what he castigated former President Donald Trump for allegedly doing.

"From my perspective, it's one of those moments that obviously they wish hadn't happened," said Stabenow.

Rep. John Garamendi (D-Calif.) concurred that the debacle ought to be a source of shame, telling "Fox News Sunday" that "It's an embarrassment, no doubt about it."

"I can only – in fact, I don't need to imagine, I know exactly what President Biden said when he was informed that these documents were found in his office in Washington, and that was an 'Oh,' followed by a four-letter expletive," added Garamendi.

Fellow California Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) told ABC's "This Week" that Congress cannot "exclude the possibility" that Biden, through his mishandling of classified documents — more of which turned up over the weekend in the president's Delaware home — compromised national security.

Extra to special counsel Robert Hur's investigation into possible impropriety committed by Biden, Schiff suggested Congress should assess "whether there was an exposure to others of these documents, whether there was harm to national security," but intimated that such an assessment would also be used to look into Trump's handling of classified documents.

\u201cRep. Adam Schiff, a former chair of the House Intelligence Committee, tells @JonKarl that Attorney General Garland made the right move by appointing a special counsel in Biden documents case. \n\n\u201cI still would like to see Congress do its own assessment.\u201d https://t.co/ndQmL4Gr7U\u201d
— This Week (@This Week) 1673794965

Schiff previously suggested that Trump's storage of sensitive documents in a guarded, locked environment — not a garage — was an indication that the former president was a public menace with a cavalier attitude toward hard-won critical information.

Schiff also penned a letter to the director of national intelligence, stating, "Those entrusted with access to classified information have a duty and an obligation to protect it."

Congress and the security community should "take all necessary steps to protect classified information and mitigate the damage to national security done by its compromise is critically important," Schiff added.

Concerning the investigation into the Democrat president's potential crimes, Schiff said over the weekend, "I'd like to know what these documents were. I'd like to know what the [special counsel's] assessment is, whether there was any risk of exposure and what the harm would be and whether any mitigation needs to be done."

Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) underscored the gravity of the situation.

"Classified documents are to be taken seriously and they are to be handled with a great deal of care, and no one is above the law," Warnock told "This Week," adding, "So I’m glad to see the Justice Department doing its work, and we ought to let that work proceed. … Nobody’s above the law. And we need to get to the bottom of this so that we don’t see this kind of thing happen again."

When pressed on whether the White House — which knew about the classified documents before the midterm elections — should have told the public earlier, Warnock answered, "The Justice Department is engaged in the investigation and that's one of the questions that I think they will explore. And I don't want to get in front of that investigation."

One Clinton campaign veteran told The Hill, "Everyone can say what they want, but this weakens him, full stop. ... This is just one of those things that will stick around and won’t go away."

The Clinton aide added, "It just creates the question. 'If he's being this frivolous with the documents in the garage with his Corvette, who knows what else he's doing?'"

Former Obama adviser David Axelrod told Reuters the Biden scandal was an "embarrassment"; "basically ... a huge gift to Trump."

Not all are convinced that Democrats' expressions of embarrassment and concern over Biden's latest scandal are in any way sincere.

Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas) suggested last week that the timely discovery and announcement of these documents and the resultant efforts by Democrats to distance themselves from the president may altogether be "a way to get rid of Joe Biden."

"They don't want this man to run for president again. He's a recipe for disaster in the next presidential election," said Jackson.

\u201cRonny Jackson says he believes that the Biden docs that were found is part of a conspiracy by Democratic operatives to set Biden up and force him to resign because they don\u2019t want him to run in 2024.\u201d

Trial lawyer Neama Rahmani suggested this is an unlikely strategy, given that the threat of criminal charges would serve as a disincentive for Biden to drop out of the 2024 race.

Rahmani told Newsweek that if Biden "is really worried about being prosecuted, that makes it more likely he will run in 2024, not less."

Whether or not it would be sound strategy, the timing of these revelations has nevertheless prompted some to wonder, especially since the documents have allegedly sat unsecure in various locations, including by Biden's gas-guzzling Corvette, for years.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) tweeted, "What prompted them to look for Joe Biden’s classified documents?"

Despite acknowledging he "could drop dead tomorrow," Biden told MSNBC's Rev. Al Sharpton in September that he was "going to do it again ... I'm going," referencing a 2024 attempt at reelection.

According to the latest Rasmussen Reports/Pulse Opinion Research poll, 52% of the nation disapproves of the job Biden is doing, with 42% strongly disapproving and only 26% strongly approving.

Liz Cheney vows to support opponents of election-denying Republicans – even if it means helping to elect Democrats

Liz Cheney, a GOP representative for Wyoming, is vowing to support opponents of Republican election deniers – even if that means helping Democrats defeat members of her own party. Cheney pledged to help Democrats during an appearance on ABC's "This Week."

"We've got election deniers that have been nominated for really important positions all across the country," Cheney said on Sunday morning.

"I'm going to be very focused on working to ensure that we do everything we can, not to elect election deniers," Cheney declared. "I'm going to work against those people, I’m going to work to support their opponents. I think it matters that much."

Cheney promised to get involved in campaigns to oust any Republicans who challenge or deny the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Among those Republicans who Cheney would not support is Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis – who is a top GOP presidential candidate for 2024 along with former President Donald Trump.

"I think that DeSantis is somebody who is, right now, campaigning for election deniers," she said, according to USA Today. "And I think that, you know, that is something that I think people have got to have real pause about. You know, either you fundamentally believe in and will support our constitutional structure, or you don't."

Despite Cheney suffering a humiliating loss to Trump-endorsed Harriet Hageman in last week's Wyoming Republican primary, "This Week" host Jonathan Karl asked Cheney about her presidential aspirations and if she would even run as a Republican.

"I haven't made any specific decisions or plans about that at this point," she said, and would not reveal if she would run as an independent or not.

"Look, you run for president because you believe you would be the best – the best candidate, because you believe you'd be the best president of the United States," Cheney stated. "And so, any decision that I make about doing something that significant and that serious would be with the intention of winning and because I think I would be the best candidate."

The daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney claimed that the Republican National Committee and Trump would fear her as a presidential candidate.

"I can understand why they would not want me on a debate stage with Donald Trump," she said. "I can understand why they wouldn't want it, and I would imagine Donald Trump isn't too interested in that either."

A Morning Consult poll from earlier this month for the Republican presidential candidate in 2024 had Trump as the frontrunner with 56% of the vote. Cheney garnered a mere 2% support.

Cheney said she plans to "educate" Americans about the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

"I'm also going to spend a lot of time doing everything I can to help educate the American people about what happened. And I think our hearings have been a tremendous contribution to that," Cheney said.

\u201cAfter her primary defeat, GOP Rep. Liz Cheney tells @jonkarl that she will focus on working to keep election deniers out of office. \n\n\u201cI\u2019m going to work against those people, I'm going to work to support their opponents.

Buttigieg says there's no 'dial in the Oval Office' to lower gas prices

Gas prices reached another record high on Monday while the Biden administration continues to deny any responsibility for rising costs.

The national average price per gallon of regular gas was $4.87 Monday, a new record high according to the American Automobile Association. Gas prices jumped 25 cents from last week's average of $4.62, and rose nearly 60 cents over the past month.

Industry analysts have predicted that gas could reach an average of $5 per gallon this summer, as Americans hit the road for vacations and demand for fuel surges, per CBS News.

But Biden's officials insist there's little the president can do to lower the cost of filling up your car.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said Sunday there's no "dial" in the White House that sets the price of gas.

He told ABC News' "This Week" that the president's decision to release oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve "helped to stabilize global oil prices."

\u201cAsked if Pres. Biden's plan to use the strategic petroleum reserve failed, Transportation Sec. Buttigieg tells @GStephanopoulos that oil companies are trying to maximize profits. \n\n"The price of gasoline is not set by a dial in the Oval Office.\u201d https://t.co/dUgJwL5VYR\u201d
— This Week (@This Week) 1654437796

Buttigieg added that Biden's decision to suspend the Environmental Protection Agency's summertime ban on 15% ethanol gas could help lower prices. Permitting oil and gas companies to use 15% ethanol blends instead of the usual 10% should lower prices because there's less crude oil in the blend. But energy experts have warned the impact on prices could be minimal, according to the New York Times.

"We know that the price of gasoline is not set by a dial in the Oval Office," Buttigieg said, before asserting greedy oil companies were to blame for high prices.

"When an oil company is deciding, hour by hour, how much to charge you for a gallon of gas, they're not calling the administration to ask what they should do. They're doing it based on their goal on maximizing their profits," he said.

“It’s been very striking right now to see these oil companies, who have become almost ridiculously profitable, and you hear these oil executives on the record talking about how they’re not going to increase production,” Buttigieg continued.

“Why would they? They’re doing great right now, That’s why the president has called it a use it or lose it policy where, if you’re sitting on these thousands of permits and you’re not doing anything with them, then you’re going to be held accountable for them. So far, Congressional Republicans have blocked action to do something like that, but we think that’s another step that would make a difference.”

Buttigieg repeated an old assertion from the White House that oil and gas companies are not using their drilling permits. Industry experts have previously said this accusation is a "red herring;" that Biden officials were ignoring how the process actually works and that energy companies need to discover whether there is actually oil and gas where they've obtained leases before they can start to drill. They also have to obtain permits to drill, a process that could take years.

Oil and gas industry representatives have also accused the Biden administration of double talk on energy production. On the one hand, Buttigieg and other officials insist companies are not doing enough to increase production. On the other, the Biden administration is canceling the sale of some oil and gas leases and increasing regulations and fees on others, which undermines production.

High gas prices are a consequence of supply and demand. As the world recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic, there's more demand for gas because people are starting to travel again. At the same time there's restricted supply on multiple fronts — lingering supply chain issues from the pandemic, production that was shut down and hasn't restarted yet, and the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine that has interrupted international oil and gas exports, to name a few

It's true that many of these factors are outside of Biden's control, but the president has responded by trying to make deals with anti-American regimes in oil-producing nations like Iran and Venezuela instead of ramping up domestic supply. Biden will travel to Saudi Arabia this summer to meet Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, despite pledging to turn the country into an international "pariah" for the assassination of a prominent dissident and journalist, Jamal Khashoggi.

While Republicans and oil executives have demanded that Biden open up more federal lands for drilling and decrease regulations so Canada can build more pipelines to the U.S., Democrats and environmentalists have opposed these measures because they would contribute to global warming.
