That displeasure tracks with the bipartisan uproar in Washington that ignited over the president's about-face. The survey found that a relatively small share of Americans "strongly" or "somewhat" approve of the pardon, which came after the younger Biden was convicted on gun and tax charges. About half said they "strongly" or "somewhat" disapprove, and about 2 in 10 neither approve nor disapprove. The Democratic president said repeatedly that he would not use his pardon power for the benefit of his family, and the White House continued to insist, even after Republican Donald Trump's election win in November, that Biden's position had not changed — until it suddenly did. "I know it's not right to believe politicians as far as what they say compared to what they do, but he did explicitly say, 'I will not pardon my son,'" said Peter Prestia, a 59-year-old Republican from Woodland Park, New Jersey, just west of New York City, who said he strongly disagreed with the move. "So, it's just the fact that he went back on his word." In issuing a pardon Dec. 1, Biden argued that the Justice Department had presided over a "miscarriage of justice" in prosecuting his son. The president used some of the same kind of language that Trump does to describe the criminal cases against him and his other legal predicaments. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said it was a decision that Biden struggled with but came to shortly before he made the announcement, "because of how politically infected these cases were" as well as "what his political opponents were trying to do." The poll found that about 4 in 10 Democrats approve of the pardon, while about 3 in 10 disapprove and about one-quarter did not have an opinion or did not know enough to say. The vast majority of Republicans and about half of independents had a negative opinion. For some, it was easy to see family taking priority over politics. "Do you have kids?" asked Robert Jenkins, a 63-year-old Democrat who runs a lumber yard and gas station in Gallipolis, Ohio. "You're gonna leave office and not pardon your kid? I mean, it's a no-brainer to me." But Prestia, who is semiretired from working for a digital marketing conglomerate, said Biden would have been better off not making promises.

But he just should have kept his mouth shut, and he did it because it was before the election, so it's just a bold-faced lie," Prestia said. Despite the unpopularity of his decision, the president's approval rating has not shifted meaningfully since before his party lost the White House to Trump. About 4 in 10 Americans "somewhat" or "strongly" approve of the way Biden is handling his job as president, which is about where his approval rating stood in AP-NORC polls since January 2022. Still, the pardon keeps creating political shock waves, with Republicans, and even some top Democrats, decrying it. Older adults are more likely than younger ones to approve of Biden's pardoning his son, according to the poll, though their support is not especially strong. About one-third of those ages 60 and older approve, compared with about 2 in 10 adults under 60. The age divide is driven partially by the fact that younger adults are more likely than older ones to say they neither approve nor disapprove of the pardon or that they do not know enough to say. About 6 in 10 white adults disapprove of the pardon, compared with slightly less than half of Hispanic adults and about 3 in 10 Black adults. Relatively large shares of Black and Hispanic Americans — about 3 in 10 — were neutral, the poll found. "Don't say you're gonna do something and then fall back," said Trinell Champ, 43, a Democrat from Nederland, Texas, who works in the home health industry and said she disapproved of the pardon. "At the end of the day, all you have is your word." Champ, who is Black, voted for Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris over Trump. "I just had my hopes up for her, but I wasn't 100% positive," she said. Champ also said she does not approve of Biden's handling of the presidency and thinks the country is on the wrong track. "While he was in office, I felt like I really didn't see a lot of changes," she said. "I just felt like everything just kind of stayed the same," Champ said. Overall, though, the pardon did not appear to be a driving factor in many Americans' assessment of Biden's job performance. The share of Black Americans who approve of the way he is handling his job as president did fall slightly since October, but it is hard to assess what role the pardon may have played.Former President Donald Trump vowed that the Republican Party would “use its best efforts” to get rid of Daylight Saving Time. In a post on Truth Social, Trump described Daylight Saving Time as being “inconvenient” and “costly” to the United States. “The Republican Party will use its best efforts to eliminate Daylight Saving Time, which has a small but strong constituency, but shouldn’t,” Trump wrote. “Daylight Saving Time is inconvenient, and very costly to our Nation.” Under Daylight Saving Time, “civil clocks in most areas of the United States are adjusted ahead one hour in the summer months (known as Daylight Savings Time) and returned back one hour in the winter months (known as standard time.) The dates marking the beginning and end of Daylight Saving Time have changed as Congress has passed new statutes,” according to the website of the United States Naval Observatory Astronomical Applications Department. Trump’s post comes as throughout the years there have been attempts to make Daylight Saving Time permanent throughout the U.S. As Breitbart News’s Joel Pollak previously reported , in March 2022, the Senate passed a bill by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), called the Sunshine Protection Act. Under the bill, summer time zones would be permanent. The Hill reported that while “most” of the nation has “observed” Daylight Saving Time since the 1960s, former President Woodrow Wilson is reported to have introduced Daylight Saving Time in 1918.

Amazon and Perplexity Join Forces to Revolutionize AI: Whose Fate is at Stake?The Miami Dolphins have made chicken salad, as they know. They’ve raised the Titanic to have some freshly-cut optimism. They know that, too. They’re also rich with record-stuffing, statistic-bulging victories against lesser teams again this season — and lacking in the kind of impressive wins that would again define them as anything substantial. Their best weapon heading to Green Bay on Thursday night is they know all this, too. “I’m excited to kill narratives,” quarterback Tua Tagovailoa said after Sunday’s win over the New England Patriots . “So, let’s go. Bring it on.” Can’t beat playoff teams. Really can’t beat playoff teams on the road. Really, really can’t beat them on the road in cold weather. Those are the narratives stitched together across three years about these Dolphins. There’s no calling Ghostbusters to exterminate them. This team thinks it’s experienced enough heartbreak and falling short to embrace some necessary lessons of failure heading to the Packers (8-3) game. Related Articles “I’m very comfortable with narratives because they’re very predictable and retroactive,” coach Mike McDaniel said Monday. They can be starkly, painfully true, too. The Dolphins (5-6) were 3-12 against playoff teams in McDaniel’s first two years. Add two losses to Buffalo and another to Arizona this season — the Dolphins’ only opponents making the playoff cut today — and they’re 3-15. They’re 0-11 on the road against these teams. They’re 0-4 against them below 39 degrees. Or, if you want to go all Al Roker involving the weather, this franchise is 0-11 in similarly cold games since 2017. It’s expected to be around 37 degrees at kickoff in Green Bay (with a 48 percent chance of precipitation, nine mph winds and fair air quality). McDaniel thinks the Dolphins have a better handle on the weather issue since the 2022 playoff game in Buffalo when, ‘half the team had never played in cold before and it was my first time in that element with those guys. At this point, we’re a little more familiar.” But let’s talk like adults. This game won’t be decided by the bogeyman of weather. It won’t be about the road, either, as much as how the Dolphins handle the big moments that always separate champs from wannabes by the slimmest of margins. That’s not just in the NFL, where the Kansas City won its 10th game Sunday by another field goal, and Las Vegas lost its ninth when a final drive went nowhere. Pick any sport. Pick tennis. Roger Federer addressed Dartmouth graduates in June and noted, “Even top-ranked tennis players win barely half the tennis points they play.” Federer won 54 percent of his career points. That’s it. It’s barely believable considering his 20 Grand Slam titles. But his teaching point was he mentally managed the losing points across his career and, more importantly, won the biggest points. That’s where the Dolphins are Thursday. They’re in a big game, sure. And big games typically come down to a handful of plays they’ll need to win, the ones they didn’t in the last month in losing to Buffalo and Arizona. No such game-deciding plays were needed in comfortable, double-digit wins against the 5-6 Los Angeles Rams, 2-9 Raiders or 3-9 Patriots. Those wins were needed to right a trouble season. McDaniel’s East Coast Offense, a ball-control, Tua-at-the-controls update of Bill Walsh’s West Coast Offense, is clicking to 30.3 points on this three-game win streak. The defense hasn’t allowed more than 19 points over it. The special teams haven’t broken down once. But the Dolphins have typically looked strong in these kind of games against those kind of opponents. Now comes the other kind of opponent, the one they’ve had trouble beating. “I really don’t think this team has to be told it’s a big game,” McDaniel said. “This is game we’ve been building for.” Green Bay, at 8-3, is the last legitimate contender on the Dolphins schedule. Houston (7-5) is a borderline playoff team that plays in the weak AFC South. San Francisco, at 5-6, isn’t the opponent you feared in August. So, Green Bay is a measuring-stick moment for these Dolphins who are so full of feel-good after three consecutive wins. They should be, too. They also should heed Federer’s words to Dartmouth’s graduates that, “You want to become a master at overcoming hard moments. That is, to me, the sign of a champion.” Champions won’t be crowned Thursday. But some unwanted narratives can be dented. The legitimacy of this season’s turnaround is at stake. It’s on a national platform, too, which adds to the fun. Bring it on, as Tua said.
