But in this Ohio diner, Frank Luntz is finding that these breakfast boomers aren’t so sure.

We’ll tackle this issue and the house meatloaf, right after these messages, and right here on CNN.

46.5% of all Texas voters, voted for Biden in 2020. Texas is not deep red, it's a purple state and abortion rights could turn it bluw as soon as 2024.

more Christians, evangelical and otherwise, who DON'T support DJT than those who do. The Press as a whole ignores those whose existence is inconvenient to their preferred narrative, even when they are the majority of Americans.

If the MSM cannot sell a horse-race election, no mater how bogus it really is, why would anyone pay attention to them? This is the age of Infotainment after all.
