Half of Americans Approve of the Job President Biden Is Doing, Quinnipiac University National Poll Finds; Most Say Conspiracy Theories in the U.S
Tim Malloy, Polling Analyst (203) 645-8043 Doug Schwartz, Associate Vice President and Director (203) 582-5294 FOR RELEASE: FEBRUARY 17, 2021 HALF OF AMERICANS APPROVE OF THE JOB PRESIDENT BIDEN IS DOING, QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY NATIONAL POLL FINDS; MOST SAY CONSPIRACY THEORIES IN THE U.S. ARE OUT OF CONTROL Four weeks after being sworn into office, President Joe Biden receives a positive job approval rating as Americans approve 50 – 38 percent, with 13 percent not offering an opinion, according to a Quinnipiac (KWIN- uh-pe-ack) University national poll of 1,056 adults released today. This is little changed from February 3rd when Americans approved 49 – 36 percent, with 16 percent not offering an opinion. There are sharp partisan divides with Democrats approving 91 – 2 percent and independents approving 50 – 34 percent, while Republicans disapprove 82 – 11 percent. When only considering registered voters, Biden’s job approval is 52 – 38 percent. It is nearly the inverse of former President Trump’s negative 38 – 55 percent job approval rating at roughly the same period during his presidency in a February 22, 2017 poll. “One month in, these are solid, but not particularly dazzling approval numbers for the new president. There may be some solace in the knowledge that his predecessor spent four years in office without getting very close to 50 percent,” said Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy. Americans approve 58 – 32 percent of the way Biden is handling the response to the coronavirus. On his handling of the economy, they approve 48 – 39 percent. When it comes to the Biden administration’s handling of the reopening of schools, the public is mixed with 42 percent approving, 38 percent disapproving, and 20 percent not offering an opinion. -

In February 2019, the colleagues who initiated that conference, Lesley Urbach and Jennifer Craig-Norton of Southampton University, along with Susan Cohen, approached me with the idea of hosting a related meeting on the history of internment. -

Resources on Racial Justice June 8, 2020 1 7 Anti-Racist Books Recommended by Educators and Activists from the New York Magazine https://nymag.com/strategist/article/anti-racist-reading- list.html?utm_source=insta&utm_medium=s1&utm_campaign=strategist By The Editors of NY Magazine With protests across the country calling for systemic change and justice for the killings of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and Tony McDade, many people are asking themselves what they can do to help. Joining protests and making donations to organizations like Know Your Rights Camp, the ACLU, or the National Bail Fund Network are good steps, but many anti-racist educators and activists say that to truly be anti-racist, we have to commit ourselves to the ongoing fight against racism — in the world and in us. To help you get started, we’ve compiled the following list of books suggested by anti-racist organizations, educators, and black- owned bookstores (which we recommend visiting online to purchase these books). They cover the history of racism in America, identifying white privilege, and looking at the intersection of racism and misogyny. We’ve also collected a list of recommended books to help parents raise anti-racist children here. Hard Conversations: Intro to Racism - Patti Digh's Strong Offer This is a month-long online seminar program hosted by authors, speakers, and social justice activists Patti Digh and Victor Lee Lewis, who was featured in the documentary film, The Color of Fear, with help from a community of people who want and are willing to help us understand the reality of racism by telling their stories and sharing their resources. -

Ocasio-Cortez Describes Fascist Assault on January 6: “It Was an All-Out Attempted Coup”
افغانستان آزاد – آزاد افغانستان AA-AA چو کشور نباشـد تن من مبـــــــاد بدين بوم و بر زنده يک تن مــــباد همه سر به سر تن به کشتن دهيم از آن به که کشور به دشمن دهيم www.afgazad.com [email protected] زبانهای اروپائی European Languages Jacob Crosse 24.05.2021 Ocasio-Cortez describes fascist assault on January 6: “It was an all-out attempted coup” In a newly released interview with Maria Hinojosa of Latino USA, New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stated that the fascist assault on the US Capitol on January 6, directed by then-President Donald Trump, was “an all-out attempted coup.” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (center), Thursday, Nov. 19, 2020 [Credit: AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin] Pushing back against the narrative espoused by Trump, the majority of the Republican Party, their far-right and neo-Nazi allies, and a not insignificant layer of the pseudo-left, Ocasio-Cortez explained that her characterization was not “some sort of exaggeration.” She noted that former Vice President Mike Pence “was taken out of the Senate chamber www.afgazad.com 1 [email protected] something like 60 seconds before these terrorist insurrectionists got into the Senate chamber. 60 seconds.” Explaining the pivotal role of Pence as president of the Senate, Ocasio-Cortez stated that Pence was “the one person, arguably, that had one of the most important roles in making sure that procedurally the Electoral College counts went on as proceeded.” The former vice president drew the ire of Trump after he resisted repeated demands from the would-be dictator that he unconstitutionally overthrow the election during the January 6 formal counting of the previously certified Electoral College votes. -

ALFRED TOWNSEND, “GATH,” AUTHOR OF “THE NEW WORLD COMPARED WITH THE OLD,” AND WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT OF THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE. “WE do not know of any American newspaper-English which we like better, as English, than that of Mr. Geo. Alfred Townsend. Our readers are not ignorant of Mr. Townsend's services at the Capital, where he has distinguished himself as a hater of shams and friendly to all those measures of political reform to which the better portion of the Republican party is irrevocably committed. It is, to be sure, sometimes easier to be amused by Mr. Townsend's personalities, than to apologize for them; but there is a humor and picturesqueness about them which is nothing less than poetical.”—NEW YORK NATION.

Democrats approve budget bill as first step in passing COVID-19 relief bill Senate Democrats passed a budget bill that paves the way for approval of President Biden’s $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package. Vice President Harris cast the tie-breaking vote. The House followed suit on the amended bill today. Jim voted for the measure. President Biden continues to hope that any package will have bipartisan support, though that is increasingly unlikely. He insists that $1,400 direct payments are necessary to provide relief to struggling Americans, but expressed willingness to the possibility of limiting the benefits by narrowing eligibility requirements. Many members of the Senate remain opposed to including increasing the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour. President Biden delivers first foreign policy address In a speech yesterday at the State Department, President Biden laid out the foreign policy priorities for his Administration, pledging that diplomacy will be central to America’s dealings with international partners and adversaries. He committed the United States to a central role in world affairs going forward and pledged to work closely with allies on issues like fighting the coronavirus pandemic and mitigating climate change’s effects. In the address, the President announced that the U.S. will end support for offensive operations by Saudi Arabia in Yemen, calling the war a “humanitarian and strategic catastrophe.” He will appoint a special envoy to negotiate an end to the conflict. Additionally, he said that the Administration will hold Russia and China accountable for their cyberattacks and attempts to undermine American democracy by interfering in our elections. -
Franklin Roosevelt, Frank Hague, and the Presidential Election of 1936 in New Jersey
NJS: An Interdisciplinary Journal Winter 2016 120 “A Common Interest” Franklin Roosevelt, Frank Hague, and the Presidential Election of 1936 in New Jersey By Si Sheppard DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14713/njs.v2i1.30 The Great Depression and the New Deal forged a mutually beneficial alliance between President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City. Each needed the other. Hague benefited from the federal funds he was allocated by the New Deal relief agencies. Channeling this government assistance through his political machine in Jersey City enabled him to consolidate his control over Hudson County and ultimately become the dominant figure of the Democratic Party in New Jersey. In return, Hague pledged to secure New Jersey for Roosevelt in his reelection campaign. Ironically, Hague got the better of this arrangement. Roosevelt’s personal popularity would have ensured his reelection in 1936 regardless of Hague’s level of commitment. But by entrenching Hague’s authority, as the New Deal tide ebbed over the ensuing years, and elections in New Jersey became more competitive, the President became ever more dependent on the capacity of the Mayor to deliver the votes he needed. This necessitated a policy of willful indifference towards Hague’s increasingly autocratic and corrupt maladministration. New Jersey today is a loyal “Blue” state, having delivered its electoral votes to the Democratic Party’s candidate for President in every election for a generation. That was not always the case, however; when Franklin D. Roosevelt ran for reelection in 1936, New Jersey was considered a key “swing” state. -
