How Popular Is Joe Biden? | FiveThirtyEight
^^ Beat me to it.
Klondyke's not going to like that . . . facts.
Therein lies the rub. Hannity pounds his listeners with that drivel, on his TV show, and his radio show, and people like KlongDork are lapping it up, and regurgitating that shit.
They had no problem with four years of Trump butchering the English language, on a regular basis.
To steal one of my favorite Trumpisms, they’re trying to delegitimizatize Biden.
Haven't we here lately some more wise posts?
Company officially nixes Keystone XL pipeline
The company behind the Keystone XL pipeline announced on Wednesday that it's officially scrapping the project after President Biden nixed a border-crossing permit for it.
A statement from TC Energy said that after "a comprehensive review of its options, and in consultation with its partner, the Government of Alberta, it has terminated the Keystone XL Pipeline Project."
"We value the strong relationships we’ve built through the development of this Project and the experience we’ve gained," François Poirier, the company's president and CEO, said in a statement.
The company also said that it will work with regulators and others to safely terminate the project.
The news was first reported by the Washington Examiner.
On his first day in office, Biden decided to revoke the key permit for the project, garnering cheers from many environmental and indigenous groups and ire from conservatives.
In an executive order doing so, Biden argued that the proposed oil pipeline "disserves" the U.S. national interest and that "leaving the Keystone XL pipeline permit in place would not be consistent with my Administration's economic and climate imperatives."
U.S. image abroad rebounds sharply with Biden in office
Percent who have confidence in the U.S. president to do the right thing regarding world affairs
The United States' image around the world has sharply improved since President Biden took office after dipping during the Trump administration, according to a Pew Research Center survey conducted in 16 countries.
The big picture: The high marks come as Biden embarks on his first overseas trip as president. Though opinions of the U.S. have broadly increased internationally, people in allied countries did not express great confidence in the U.S. as an ally and were also concerned about its domestic politics.
By the numbers: More than 6 in 10 people in the surveyed countries said they have confidence in Biden to do the right thing in world affairs.
In 12 of the surveyed countries, a median of 75% expressed confidence in Biden, compared with 17% for Trump in 2020.

In photos: Harris shows up at Pride parade in downtown D.C.
Vice President Kamala Harris dropped in at the Capitol Pride Walk And Rally in Washington, D.C., on Saturday.
The state of play: Harris and second gentleman, Doug Emhoff, joined the crowd, who welcomed them with cheers, according to press reports.
The visit had not been on the vice president's public schedule.
The big picture: Pride celebrations are taking place across the country this weekend, a year after many similar events were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
What they're saying: “We need to make sure that our transgender community and our youth are all protected. We need, still, protections around employment and housing,” Harris said. “There is so much more work to do, and I know we are committed.”
