"The Dark Truth about Human Trafficking, Pedophilia and the most heinous thing of all: Adrenochrome Processing. This is the biggest evil being committed on this planet!
Child Sacrifice by High Ranking Clergy of the Catholic Church & High Ranking Satanic Cult Members often kill children. ๏ One: for Satanic Ritualistic Purposes ๏ Two: for very sick enjoyment ๏ Three and most of all: to extract something from innocent children that will help them to extend their lifeโฆ..which is called: Adrenochrome. This is where we get into the top profits of selling drugs on planet Earth and beyond what any Cocaine or Heroin Dealer could ever dream of making; are the profits that Adrenochrome can make for some extremely evil Drug Dealers out there; in the world. Adrenochrome is made from extracting Adrenalin from the Adrenal Gland in the body. It can typically be extracted from an Animal or an Adult but it is known to be in its purest form; when it has been extracted from a young child! In order to make the Adrenochrome: very evil people; tend to put children through extremely horrific abuse in order to harvest it from the child. They then put the child through multiple Electrical-Shocks in order to get the Adrenaline pumping through their body. They then kill the child at the peak of itโs fear & pain threshold in order to extract the blood from them that will have the greatest amount of stem cells present. The Adrenaline laced blood with the Human Stem Cells will keep those that drink it: young.
These greatly hidden atrocities are very REAL and happen every single day! Six to Eight Million children; get taken or kidnapped for mostly: Adrenochrome processing; every single year! Yes!... This is PURE EVIL but unfortunately it is very common! Pedophilia; Child Torture & Adrenochrome Harvesting and even: Cannibalism; is actually a โusualโ way of life for many very wealthy and powerful people of the world. Many Hollywood Actors & successful people in the Music Industry; as well as: Politicians and Bankers worldwide; are involved in this heinous evil too!
Even many of the Royal Families partake in these very dark practices because even if they havenโt told us: most of them actually live a Satanic Way of life and are very far from being the pious Christian, Muslim or Jewish Believers that they like to make us believe they are; in order to hide their extremely dark truth! โฆAfter all: theyโre evil โฆNOT stupid!"

Democrats have an image problem. According to a Wall Street Journal survey that has tracked the popularity of the two major parties for 35 years, a record-low 33% of Americans approve of the Democratic Party. CNN likewise reports an approval rating of 28%, the lowest in more than three decades of polling. Quinnipiac finds that only 19% of Americans approve of how congressional Democrats are handling the job โ the lowest share in the 16 years the pollster has been asking that question. Aggregating the polls, the analysts G. Elliott Morris and Mary Radcliffe calculate a Democratic disadvantage of 10 points in net favorability โ the worst figure the party has faced in more than two decades.
One might be tempted to conclude from this data that voters simply agree with Republicans more on the issues. The real story is more complicated. What Democrats are lacking isnโt so much the right policy package, but a demonstrated willingness to stand up to Donald Trump and his agenda in the second term. The issue, moreover, is less one of increasing Democratic unpopularity, than Republicans weathering a general decline in trust in institutions due to the unique connection Trump has with a significant minority of the country. Democrats cannot break this bond; they can only hope to mobilize the forces against it.
Consider polling about specific bills. Last month, Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill, the signature legislation of his second term thus far. On average, it had a net approval rating of -23, making it the second most unpopular major piece of legislation under consideration since 1990, only beating out the 2017 GOP health-care bill. In contrast, Bidenโs infrastructure bill was at +39 when it was polled.
Put another way: When asked about specific pieces of legislation, voters prefer the Democratic approach of higher spending on infrastructure and social services to Republicansโ spending cuts that only partially offset tax cuts disproportionately favoring the wealthiest Americans.
Nate Silverโs tracking of polls finds Trumpโs approval rating to be underwater by double digits on inflation, trade, and the economy. Immigration is Trumpโs strongest issue, but even here, net approval is currently at -3. To be sure, the Journal poll shows Republicans to be more trusted on issues like immigration and the economy. Meanwhile, YouGov in May found nine issues where Democrats had an advantage, and 10 where Republicans did. Itโs difficult to know what to make of polls showing that voters agree more with Democratic tax-and-spending bills than those favored by Republicans, while at the same time Republicans are more trusted on the economy as an abstract issue. Another contradiction: while Americans dislike Trumpโs tariffs, and one would think that Democrats represent a return to the status quo, they still trust Republicans equally as much as Democrats or more on the issue. This shouldnโt be logically possible, and probably again reflects voters not thinking too carefully about their political attitudes.
Issue polling is, in short, a mess. Although we can draw broad lessons about which party owns specific policy areas, I would be hesitant to use it in order to make inferences regarding recent changes in how Americans view Democrats and Republicans.
So if not policy, what does explain the sorry state of the Democrats? It would be one thing if they were cratering with Independents. That would suggest that they are simply out of step with the majority of Americans. In fact, the party leadership is reaching new lows because it faces discontent among its base. In the CNN poll cited above, only 58% of Democratic-aligned adults have a favorable view of their party, compared to 76% of Republicans. Morris and Radcliffe point to a Strength in Numbers/Verasite poll showing that Left-wing Democratic voters are disproportionately unhappy: about 20% of self-identified โvery liberalโ Democrats now have an unfavorable view of their own party, far higher than the equivalent disaffection among โvery conservativeโ Republicans, who are at 8%. If you factor out this Left-flank discontent, Democratic approval would rise by a net of eight points. In the Strength in Numbers poll, Democrats actually do better with Independents.
The Republican advantage, then, seems mostly or completely driven by very liberal voters not liking the current Democratic Party. Does that mean that, in order to match Republicans in popularity, all Democrats would have to do is move Left? Unfortunately for them, surveys indicate that their voters would like them to do precisely the opposite.
According to a February poll from Gallup, as of early 2025, only 22% of Democrats were content with the partyโs current ideological approach โ everyone else wanted change. Crucially, 45% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning Independents said the party should become more moderate, while 29% wanted it to be more liberal or progressive. Among Republicans, in contrast, a healthy plurality of 43% was satisfied with the party and wanted it to stay the course.
What this means is that Democrats might need to think twice before simply trying to satisfy the most extreme voices among their base. Otherwise, they may lose moderate voters in the process, as more of their supporters want them to take a centrist path.
There is nothing all that mysterious about any of this. No matter where the Democrats are ideologically, voters could disapprove of the party from either side. A very liberal Democratic voter and a moderate one might both have gripes, which you would expect in a large, diverse country with only two major parties representing the entire political spectrum.
Perhaps it is a mistake, then, to focus on Democratic unpopularity. Maybe the question we should ask is why Republican approval remains so high among its base, in an era where trust in institutions is collapsing. The Trump-era GOP has taken radically unpopular positions on taxing and spending policy. Yet the Republican base seems to shrug everything off and remains malleable, seemingly due to Trumpโs unique charisma. A KFF tracking poll shows that while only 61% of Republicans approved of the Big Beautiful Bill in June, that figure had risen to 78% in July.
Republican politicians now regularly justify their actions based on the idea that they follow the will of Trump. Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma was more explicit than most when he said that he fought against releasing Epstein documents in order to give Trump โcover,โ arguing that Democrats would use any information that came out to target the president. Sen. Rick Scott of Florida, when praising the recent trade deal with South Korea, urged his followers to โTrust in Trumpโ. A recent New York Times headline reads: โTexas Republicans Unveil Gerrymandered House Map, Trying to Please Trump,โ showing that the presidentโs influence reaches down to what have traditionally been state and local issues.
The behavior of the current Congress has been downright cult-like. As the Associated Press reports, a raft of GOP proposals would allow Americans to โtake the day off work for Donald Trumpโs birthday,โ receive โa $100 bill with Trumpโs portrait on it,โ and land at โDonald J. Trump International Airport near the nationโs capital,โ among other similar measures.
Itโs easy to feel contempt for politicians here. But we can assume that they are simply following their voters, who really love this man. Trumpโs approval remains sky high in a party that was famous for turning on its leaders in Congress throughout the Obama era. Since 2023, researchers at Vanderbilt University have been asking Republicans if they consider themselves more supporters of MAGA or the traditional GOP. The first time they posed the question, 37% of respondents reported that they feel MAGA first. Today, the MAGA-first group is at 52%.
This is particularly interesting because MAGA is notoriously flexible when it comes to ideology. Those who consider themselves more intellectual Trumpists have no shortage of complaints about the president, from his bombing of Iran to his Medicaid cuts. A popular meme shows Trump implementing tariffs and being praised for it by a cartoon supporter in a red hat, who then turns around and declares โart of the dealโ every time he removes the levies.
The story of falling Democratic popularity relative to Republicans is therefore only partly a story about Democrats. We are in an era of declining trust, which afflicts nearly all institutions, from the media to Congress to the medical system. Of course, the two major political parties are likely to take a hit under those conditions. Yet Republicans are buoyed by a cult of personality that is largely impervious to the effects of bad news or unpopular policy positions.
According to the Wall Street Journal poll, Republicans are currently about where they were in 2010 in terms of net favorability. Meanwhile, Democrats have seen an almost continuous decline. Thus, the notion that Trump is a drag on the GOP likely gets things exactly backwards. While his overall popularity might be underwater, what distinguishes Trump from other politicians is his ability to hold a base of support among a substantial and unshakable minority of the American people. This rubs off on the rest of the GOP, as long as lesser Republicans are seen to be doing the bidding of their leader.
That doesnโt mean all hope is lost for Democrats. While the party is indeed divided on whether it should become more moderate or liberal, there is greater unity on standing up to Trump. In a March poll that asked Democrats how they would grade their partyโs response to Trump, 70% gave them a C or lower, with 21% giving an F. Only 17% said that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer was doing enough to fight Trump; 61% felt he wasnโt doing enough. Democratic voters overwhelmingly support efforts like trying to block Trumpโs actions through the courts and engaging in mass protests.
โWhile the party is indeed divided on whether it should become more moderate or liberal, there is greater unity on standing up to Trump.โ
It follows that Democratic elected officials can likely shore up their own base of support by standing together against Trumpโs political priorities. Would that possibly hurt them with Independents? One canโt say for sure, but given that Trumpโs overall approval rating is underwater, it isnโt as if they would be going against the tide of public opinion. And Republicans are already extremely polarized against Democrats, and likely to stay that way, given their increasingly propagandistic media-consumption habits.
Trumpโs role in the national psyche is so overwhelming that nearly every major political story is, at heart, a story about Trump. Republicans believe what they believe largely based on what Trump says and does. The Democrats are now a party that is ideologically divided, but united in opposition to Trump.
Given the fact that Trumpโs base canโt be moved, Democrats might as well show life and pull out all the stops to oppose his agenda. On policy and messaging, it probably makes sense to moderate, rather than move to the Left. On anti-Trump opposition, however, the party must be resolute. In other words, Democrats need a centrism that fights. As the Republican Party becomes more and more enthralled to one man and his personal agenda, there is little to be gained by hoping to appease the other side.
Oppositional centrism would shore up the Democratsโ own base, and likely has the best chance of winning over the small number of Americans who are still persuadable. MAGAs will find a reason to be angry regardless. In order to thrive in the face of an increasingly unified opposition, Democrats cannot keep living in fear of the backlash that might result from standing up to Trump.

Yesterday, the Rome Tribunal of Ministers dropped an investigation against Prime Minister Meloni relating to her involvement in returning a warlord to Libya.
Osama Almasri Najim, a senior official of Libyaโs judicial police, was arrested in Italy in January before being quietly released and sent back to Libya two days later via a State-operated flight. Almasri is wanted by the ICC for allegedly murdering, torturing and raping migrants, including children, since 2015.
The Court in Rome states Meloni was โcertainly informedโ but that there is no clear evidence of how involved she was in the decision. The Court will request authorization to proceed with the case against three members of her government: Interior Minister Piantedosi, Justice Minister Nordio, and Undersecretary Mantovano.
Meloni claims on X that itโs an โabsurd argumentโ to say her ministers acted without her being part of the decision-making process and โwith the sole compass being the protection of Italiansโ securityโ. Whatโs truly absurd, is boasting about being part of a decision that set a torturer free, instead of bringing him to justice.
What security are Meloni, Piantedosi, Nordio and Mantovano building by defying the ICC and letting war criminals walk free?
