President Trump’s approval rating is starting to catch up with his historic successes.
Today is the FIRST TIME IN HIS PRESIDENCY that Gallup Polls has President Trump above water.
A 2 year fruitless (and virtually unlimited) Russian collusion investigation, a partisan impeachment charade, combined with constant negative coverage—and yet, President Trump is a positive approval rating on Gallup. 49-48. Really amazing. Americans see the results. They know. https://t.co/ayFper8xsA — Mark Meadows (@MarkMeadows) February 20, 2020
And more Americans now identify as Republicans thanks to President Trump — with a special thanks to Crazy Nancy.
Gallup: Trump job approval moves into *positive* territory – now at 49-48. That's Trump's best approval on Gallup in his presidency. In addition, Gallup has seen an uptick in Americans identifying as Republicans – jumping to 32% (was 28%). Democrats were just 28% of respondents. pic.twitter.com/3p0AMaPrME — Your Friendly Neighborhood Numbersmuncher (@NumbersMuncher) February 20, 2020
If Trump’s higher approval rating is being driven by Americans giving him credit for improvements in the economy, his support may increase over the course of the year, as it did for Ronald Reagan in 1984, Clinton in 1996 and Barack Obama in 2012. All of those recent presidents held office during periods of sustained economic improvement and were re-elected with job approval ratings of better than 50%.
President Trump’s job approval beats out Obama’s at the same time in presidency.
President Trump’s Rasmussen approval rating is also at 49% today.

Michael Bloomberg had a very bad night on Wednesday.
The former New York City mayor got hammered in his first debate for the Democrat presidential nomination. While he had soared up the charts since entering the race, he quickly plunged back to Earth after his dismal performance, in which he often rolled his eyes and looked like a deer in the headlights.
But the billionaire got back at his opponents with a clever video he posted on Twitter the next day. The clip starts with Bloomberg saying, “I’m the only one here I think that’s ever started a business. Is that fair?” The camera then cuts to every other candidate running for the nomination, but not one utters a sound.
Pretty funny, especially the crickets chirping.
But the media lost their minds over the clip, which had clearly been altered to make his point that Bloomberg is, in fact, the only candidate who ever started a business.
Marc Caputo, a reporter covering the 2020 presidential campaign for the liberal site Politico, was filled with angst.
“In Bloomberg’s edited video, his question about starting a business goes unanswered for 22 seconds. But it was actually 2,” he wrote on Twitter. “Comedic effect of the cricket chirping aside, the viewer might not know this deceptively edits in video that didn’t happen like this.”
For a while now, campaigns have edited in sound over debate clips. But it's clear it's for dramatic effect. Bloomberg actually inserts video that never happened & that's not clear to viewers. It's not quite a Deep Fake. Maybe it's a Shallow Fake? https://t.co/dNTJtMvVKu — Marc Caputo (@MarcACaputo) February 20, 2020
CNN political reporter Dana Bash was also aghast.
“There is a video that his campaign tweeted this morning that didn’t happen. It is a deceptively edited video,” Bash said. While she noted the campaign said the clip is meant to be funny, she said “we are so concerned about things that are doctored, deep fakes on the internet.”
“New York Times reporter Azi Paybarah compared it to a similarly criticized video put out by President Donald Trump’s campaign after the State of the Union, where House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) was depicted tearing up his speech during its more poignant moments. Pelosi did rip up the speech, but only after Trump concluded,” Free Beacon reported.
Business Insider wrote Bloomberg’s video was “incredibly misleading,” and liberal outlet Talking Points Memo called it “doctored.” NBC News fact checked the video, with reporter Maura Barrett calling it “manipulated.”
Others got their undies in a wad, too.
Jesse Lehrich, a Democratic strategist and former spokesman for Hillary Clinton, said “between this deceptively edited video, the TV & radio ads that imply Obama endorsed him, the paid social media/texting that’s designed to seem organic… Bloomberg is weaponizing disinfo in ways that fundamentally undermine democracy.”

Here are a few of Barack Obama’s more disturbing and consequential lies.

Number of mentions: 37 times
As Obama was pushing the tremendously unpopular legislation now known as ‘Obamacare’, at least 37 different times he promised that – If you like your insurance plan you can keep your insurance plan. Even the leftie media could not ignore it. This was lie of the year in 2013. After cancellation letters were sent to 4 million Americans, the public finally realized his breezy assurances were wrong.
2.) With Obamacare we will reduce your insurance premiums by $2,500, per family per year

1,036 Obamacare plans cover abortions.
In spite of repeated promises that Obamacare would not pay for abortions, it is now clear that Obama lied.

This man truly is the best.

thegatewaypundit--2020-02-22--More Evidence Emerges That The Coronavirus May Have Leaked From Chinese Microbiology Lab

More Evidence Emerges That The Coronavirus May Have Leaked From Chinese Microbiology Lab More evidence has emerged that the deadly coronavirus now sweeping across the world came from a microbiology lab in Wuhan , China .
On Friday , the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology put out a directive titled : “ Instructions on strengthening biosecurity management in microbiology labs that handle advanced viruses like the novel coronavirus.
” It turns out that in all of China there is only one such lab , the New York Post writes .
“ And this one is located in the Chinese @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be .
.
.
the epicenter of the epidemic.
” That ’ s right .
China ’ s only Level 4 microbiology lab that is equipped to handle deadly coronaviruses , called the National Biosafety Laboratory , is part of the Wuhan Institute of Virology .
What ’ s more , the People ’ s Liberation Army ’ s top expert in biological warfare , a Maj. Gen. Chen Wei , was dispatched to Wuhan at the end of January to help with the effort to contain the outbreak .
According to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ researching coronaviruses since the SARS outbreak of 2003 , as well as Ebola and anthrax .
This would not be her first trip to the Wuhan Institute of Virology either , since it is one of only two bioweapons research labs in all of China .
But that ” s not all .
The coronavirus has been connected back to a market in Wuhan that sells exotic meats , like bat and monkey and snakes .
It turns out that some lab workers who do tests on animals later cash in by selling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of properly disposing of infected animals by cremation , as the law requires , they sell them on the side to make a little extra cash .
Or , in some cases , a lot of extra cash .
One Beijing researcher , now in jail , made a million dollars selling his monkeys and rats on the live animal market , where they eventually wound up in someone ’ s stomach .
But the Post story none of China ’ s excuses add up : “ Snakes don ’ t carry coronaviruses @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at a seafood market.
” The evidence points to SARS-CoV-2 research being carried out at the Wuhan Institute of Virology .
The virus may have been carried out of the lab by an infected worker or crossed over into humans when they unknowingly dined on a lab animal .
Whatever the vector , Beijing authorities are now clearly scrambling to correct the serious problems with the way their labs handle deadly pathogens .

There are rumors the deadly coronavirus now sweeping across the world came from a microbiology lab in Wuhan, China.
But there is no evidence to support this at this time.
On Friday, the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology put out a directive titled: “Instructions on strengthening biosecurity management in microbiology labs that handle advanced viruses like the novel coronavirus.”
It turns out that in all of China there is only one such lab, the New York Post writes. “And this one is located in the Chinese city of Wuhan that just happens to be . . . the epicenter of the epidemic.”
That’s right. China’s only Level 4 microbiology lab that is equipped to handle deadly coronaviruses, called the National Biosafety Laboratory, is part of the Wuhan Institute of Virology. What’s more, the People’s Liberation Army’s top expert in biological warfare, a Maj. Gen. Chen Wei, was dispatched to Wuhan at the end of January to help with the effort to contain the outbreak. According to the PLA Daily, Gen. Chen has been researching coronaviruses since the SARS outbreak of 2003, as well as Ebola and anthrax.

Instead of properly disposing of infected animals by cremation, as the law requires, they sell them on the side to make a little extra cash. Or, in some cases, a lot of extra cash. One Beijing researcher, now in jail, made a million dollars selling his monkeys and rats on the live animal market, where they eventually wound up in someone’s stomach.

Also, a petition has begun to circulate in response to Senator Chris Murphy’s willful disregard of the Khomeinist regime’s human rights violation.
When asked to comment about the meeting, Zarif responded, with his customary braggadocio, that his discussion with Murphy had “spooked” Trump. While, of course, it is not true, such meetings with the Democrats help regime officials maintain their delusions that they continue to maintain power, if only they can outlast Trump. The Democrats’ independent outreach to Tehran might also be seen by the regime as a subtle hint to interfere in the US electoral process, in the sense that a Democratic presidency would likely bring another financial bailout for Tehran.

Regime Appeals Court Confirms Sentences Against Eight Environmental Activists
On February 19th, a spokesman for the regime’s judiciary disclosed that an appeals court had upheld the multi-year prison sentences and heavy fines laid against eight environmental activists. Arrested two years ago by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), and charged with being foreign spies, the eight worked for the Persian Wildlife Heritage Foundation, an organization that was trying to protect endangered animal species in Iran. The foundation’s founder, Dr. Kavous Seyed-Emami, an Iranian-Canadian, was arrested along with the eight activists, and died soon afterwards under suspicious circumstances in Tehran’s Evin Prison.
The imprisoned conservationists, and their incarceration terms, are:
▶ Morad Tahbaz – 10 years
▶ Niloufar Bayani – 10 years
▶ Houman Jowkar – 8 years
▶ Taher Ghadirian – 8 years
▶ Sam Rajabi – 6 years
▶ Sepideh Kashani – 6 years
▶ Amir Hossein Khaleghian – 6 years
▶ Abdol Reza Koupayeh – 4 years
Convicted of violating national security and conducting espionage for the US and Israel, most Iranians believe the fanciful and trumped-up charges were brought as a form of cover-up of the regime’s horrible record of environmental mismanagement.

Despite that, the regime was forced to admit on Wednesday that two elderly men Qom had died from the virus, while claiming then that those were the only cases of the Corona virus in Iran.

By Friday, though, as Iranians took to social media to warn each other about the epidemic’s progress, regime officials confessed that another two Iranians had died from the virus, and that they had confirmed 13 more cases of it. Qom has now been placed under a state of semi-lockdown, with even Shi’a Islamic seminaries shut down, as it has the highest concentration of those infected.

According to Iranians on the streets, the death toll, and infection rates, are actually much higher. It is very risky, though, for Iranians to post news about the outbreak on social media, because the IRGC is specifically arresting those who reveal the facts about the spread of the Corona virus.

According to Iranian doctors, the virus was brought to Iran by Chinese workers.

FATF Deadlines Passes with No Action from the Regime: Tehran is Now Financially Blacklisted
On Friday, February 21st, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), an international organization with representatives from 39 nations, called for Iran to be blacklisted from the global financial system, after Tehran failed to ratify two international agreements – the Palermo Convention and the Convention of Stopping Terrorism Financing. The move came after three years of repeated extensions of the deadline to approve the treaties being granted to Tehran. Although many Iranian businesspersons, and even some figures within the regime, wanted to have the treaties ratified so Iran could trade with other countries more easily, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and other senior officials rejected signing the two agreements, as complying with them would have meant at least a reining-in of the regime’s many illegal financial operations, which it uses to fund both itself and its armed proxy militias around the world.
Nevertheless, the FATF’s recommendations for how to deal with Iran, in terms of the specific countermeasures to be applied now, were seen as vague, and somewhat half-hearted, with analysts suggesting that they imply that the European governments, most notably, are still hoping that they can salvage their economic relationships with Tehran. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo praised the decision, though, stating that the regime will continue to pay for supporting terrorism.
I commend the Financial Action Task Force for calling on members to re-impose countermeasures needed to protect the world from terrorist financing threats emanating from #Iran. Iran must behave like a normal nation or it will continue to pay for its funding of terrorism. — Secretary Pompeo (@SecPompeo) February 21, 2020
In a related matter, a new trade report on Iran-Europe commerce revealed that bilateral trade declined by 72% during 2019, to €5.7 billion. Germany remains Tehran’s primary trade partner on the continent, however.
