BUD'S BLOG, TUESDAY, AUGUST 1st, 2023

Hunter Biden's former best friend and business partner Devon Archer testified for hours Monday before the House Oversight Committee. We'll focus on what he reportedly had to say (there were no cameras or microphones allowed, so we'll have to wait for a printed transcript to be released, which may not be for a couple of days) and whether it provided the smoking gun on the Biden family's corruption...or just a lot of smoke. Here are a couple of links to get you up to speed on what we'll be talking about.
I'll analyze a couple of brand new polls that bear on the presidential race:
The New York Times/Siena College poll on the Republican primary race has Trump up on DeSantis by 37 points, 54% to 17%, with no other candidate getting more than 3% ! The Times says no presidential candidate in the past 50 years has been this far ahead at this point in time and lost their party's nomination! Trump's lead is historic, there's no doubt about it, but will it hold up as the criminal indictments against Trump pile up? Only time will tell !

The new CBS poll shows Joe Biden's approval rate is down to only 40%, his lowest ever! And, on the economy, Biden's approval rating is a miserable 34%! The economy is the number one issue that determines how people vote, so Biden should be easy to beat, if the Republicans don't screw it up!

We'll focus on Governor DeSantis, and his newly unveiled economic plan, titled his "Declaration of Economic Independence". I think it's an impressive and detailed blueprint for ending America's decline under Biden and the Democrats and putting us on the path to prosperity. I'll share some of the highlights and let you tell me what you think of the DeSantis plan.

I'll also play a few excerpts for you of the DeSantis interview with Fox News "Special Report" anchor Bret Baier. A host of issues were discussed, and I thought the Governor at the top of his game, with a total command of his message, and an authoritative, yet very relatable delivery.
