A major blue state has slipped into toss-up territory as President Biden’s poll numbers continue to flounder, according to a major poll rater. Virginia is now rated a toss-up by RealClearPolitics, which analyzes and averages the latest polling for the 2024 election. This just in: Virginia and its 13 electoral votes has moved to a Toss Up. https://t.co/ZuzasZJRHf pic.twitter.com/vze2juBNEg — Tom Bevan (@TomBevanRCP) June 7, 2024 Joe Biden leads Donald Trump by 0.1% based on 17 polls in Decision Desk HQ/@thehill's presidential polling average in Virginia. pic.twitter.com/iHyJ9aqAjv — Decision Desk HQ (@DecisionDeskHQ) June 7, 2024   Virginia has 13 electoral votes, which Democrats have snagged in both of the last two presidential elections. A presidential candidate needs 270 electoral votes to secure victory. In 2020, Biden won Virginia by 10 points or nearly half a million votes. In 2016, Hillary Clinton won the state by less, five points or about 200,000 votes. Clinton’s popularity in Virginia may have been boosted by picking Virginia Senator Tim Kaine as her running mate.

In a poll from late May, Biden and former President Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, were shown tied 42-42. In another estimate, Biden leads Donald Trump by just 0.1%, according to an average of 17 polls. Other states marked as toss-ups by the poll rater are Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada,  Minnesota, North Carolina, and Georgia. Overall, Trump is up over Biden by less than a point, according to the RealClearPolitics average of polls. As of late last month, the former president was leading in five of six swing states, although Biden has been shown with a small lead in several of those states since then, according to some polls. In 2020, Trump lost a slew of these battleground states: Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin. With the election just five months away, both Trump and Biden have ramped up their campaign strategies. Democrats have leaned into the abortion issue and Trump’s recent felony conviction, while Republicans have doubled down on their attacks on the economy under Biden, immigration, and the court cases against Trump. Trump is battling several court cases, one of which kept him stuck in a Manhattan courtroom all day for weeks until late last month, when he was convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to hush-money payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels. Trump scheduled rallies and other campaign events in the evenings, on weekends, and on Wednesdays when the court was not usually in session. Later this month, voters will see the president and former president go head-to-head in the first presidential debate of the 2024 election cycle, which is scheduled for Thursday, June 27. The first debate could jolt polling in favor of one candidate, at least briefly, as presidential debates have done in the past.

On Thursday, Joe Biden went to Normandy on the 80th anniversary of the D-Day invasion, the largest amphibious invasion in the history of warfare, and attempted to channel Ronald Reagan.  Ronald Reagan was there for the 40th anniversary of D-Day and gave an incredibly famous and wonderful speech about the boys of Pointe du Hoc and the rest of that fateful day.  Joe Biden showed up and proceeded to possibly poop, which is under dispute. The White House suggested that the president did not, in fact, poop. But the fact that it’s an open question is not ideal for the president of the United States, who has now been the subject of a giant Wall Street Journal piece pointing out the obvious to all of us, which is that the president is no longer functional.  The New York Times reported: The aging American president facing a re-election campaign came to the Normandy coast of France to pay tribute to the daring Army Rangers who scaled the cliffs of Pointe du Hoc, offer a paean to democracy for which they sacrificed and perhaps even wrap himself a little bit in their reflected glory. That was 1984, and the president was Ronald Reagan, who delivered an ode to heroism and patriotism that would become one of the most iconic moments of his presidency. Forty years later, another aging president facing re-election plans to return to the same spot Friday to honor the same heroes and effectively align himself with Mr. Reagan’s legacy of leadership against tyranny. Good luck to Joe Biden if he hoped to mirror the performance of Ronald Reagan in 1984 in Normandy. In 1984, Reagan was 73-years-old, younger than both of the major party candidates this year. Biden is currently 81 and no longer in control of his faculties.  The viral clips that were going around social media yesterday were not the clips of Biden appearing stalwart in defense of democracy. They were clips of the president doddering around, guided by his handlers, led by the hand by Dr. Jill (who’s going to need a medical degree before all of this is over, given the way that Biden is medically slipping). Biden arrived at Omaha Beach and staggered around in his moon shoes. They have him in these moon shoes because they are afraid he is going to trip or keel over. He got out of the car, didn’t know where to go, and stood there looking bewildered, his mouth slack-jawed. Then, he went on stage with the other world leaders, all of whom are probably half his age. He had this particularly odd moment in which he was not sure whether to sit down on a chair or not to sit down on a chair — though nobody else seemed confused. Everyone else was standing. You might feel for Dr. Jill, except for the fact that she’s the one who’s keeping him in power and has ambitions of her own. Biden had to be led away, tottered away, by Dr. Jill before everyone else. All the rest of the world leaders greeted all of the members of the Greatest Generation. But Biden was gone. During the ceremony, he appeared to be lost; at times, he appeared to have his eyes closed, which has become a common occurrence for him. The Wall Street Journal reported that during meetings, it’s not clear whether he’s fallen asleep or not. WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show Why does any of this matter? It matters because this is a president who clearly is not in command. So the question becomes, who is in command? The answer is: whoever’s in command that day. There is no one consistent answer. It is not as though there’s a shadow president like Barack Obama sitting in the background manipulating all the strings. At least then you would get a bad but coherent policy from Biden. But we are getting an extraordinary level of volatility and eccentricity in Biden’s policymaking, which makes it feel as though he’s ping-ponging off the walls, because he is. That is not unusual in a case when you have somebody who’s approaching senility; on some days, they are better than on others. Even his greatest allies, people who perform acts of Stormy-Daniels-level sycophancy upon Biden, are starting to make jokes about the fact he does not appear to be in control of himself. Jimmy Kimmel, lackey par excellence to the Biden administration, mocked Biden descending stairs. That’s always a great look, when even the people who love you the most are making fun of the fact you might fall down the stairs at any moment. Democrats are fighting off the perception that this president is not only incompetent at his job, but that he’s just not with it by ratcheting up the rhetoric against Donald Trump. That’s because if they can make the election a referendum on Trump, then Trump has some trouble. If the election is a referendum on Joe Biden, the current president of the United States, then Biden has some trouble, which is why the chief goal of the Trump campaign should be to stay out of the line of fire. Quiet Trump is the best Trump. If Trump were to actually pursue Biden’s strategy from 2020 by going into a basement and staying there until November, Trump would be president of the United States again.  It is the job of Democrats to pull the panic alarm and push the panic button with regard to Trump, so they are really ratcheting it up. On Thursday, Hillary Clinton issued what is one of the most egregious tweets I’ve ever seen in my life. She wrote, “Eighty years ago today, thousands of brave Americans fought to protect democracy on the shores of Normandy. This November, all we have to do is vote.” According to Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump is Hitler. And when you vote against Donald Trump, that is the same as you storming the beaches of Normandy. It’s the same as when your great-grandfather stormed the beaches of Normandy while his friends got killed by mortars. There are a couple of reasons this is insulting: The idea that voting is in any way equivalent to military service is absurd. The idea that Trump is orange Hitler is absurd; we know he isn’t. He was president of the United States already. Mitch Landrieu, who’s a senior advisor in infrastructure coordination for the Biden administration, echoed, “I feel very, very confident that this is going to be a very hard fought race … but when the chips are down, the American people are going to show up just like those kids did, 80 years ago.” “Just like the kids did 80 years ago?” As though storming off of an amphibious landing craft onto a beach marked by machine gunfire is the same as voting for the old man who may have actually pooped on himself at Normandy? You have the Biden administration saying Trump is the incipient tyrant and voting against him is like storming the beaches of Normandy.  That’s despicable.

Everyone in the room was groaning, saying, ‘What is going on?'

'it was a mistake not to stay in France longer – and I apologise'

LEGO Horizon Adventures being revealed to the world opens the floodgates for where the LEGO games can go. This can create limitless and unique possibilities that I, for one, am looking forward to.  A whole new territory to explore  We’ve seen how expansive LEGO can be with brands like Starwars. However, by collaborating with other game makers like Epic with Fortnite, experiences can be more unique. The proof is in the pudding. Just take a look at the world of LEGO Fortnite. The inclusion of the toy brand took Fornite to new heights, so I can safely predict that if they go beyond Fornite, we can see a whole slate of new types of games. Image: Guerrilla Games Walk before you can run Before we even talk about the future of the brand, we have to see if LEGO Horizon Adventures will be hit or not. While everyone loves LEGO and everyone seems like Horizon Forbidden West, so it seems like a no-brainer. However, mixing two pieces of media that are very different from one...

Although you may know Blumhouse for their strange and not-so-scary horror films, it seems like Blumhouse has some insane-looking upcoming games. Blumhouse’s six games look incredible, despite their mid films The Five Nights and Freddy’s movie was a blast to watch, but it wasn’t as scary as I’d hoped. Then there’s M3GAN, which was intentionally silly and an unmemorable movie. On the flip side, Blumhouse’s surprising bevy of games, announced at Summer Game Fest, threw my hype levels out the roof. At first, you thought it was just one game, then it was two, and suddenly it turned into six unique and slightly horrifying video games. I’d be happy with just one, but six games with elements of horror will make any fan of the genre excited. Image: Blumhouse It makes you think that Blumhouse couldn’t have spearheaded these games, right? Working with creators like Sam Barlow and Brandon Cronenberg who are known creatives for just o...

I know we have waited for years for the next entry in the Grand Theft Auto series, but what I didn’t expect was to completely be blown away by a bean shooting other beans in a bean world I need to visit soon. Let’s take a look at the Killer Bean game! Killer Bean makes its appearance in SGF Screenshot: Killer Bean Studios While Geoff Keighley really did his best to not hype this Summer Game Fest, I wasn’t ready to see what I saw with Killer Bean, a game being developed by Killer Bean Studios. What started as a computer animation project with “The Killer Bean: Interrogation“, Killer Bean is now not only an internet sensation created by Jeff Lew but an exciting game that took the stage in one of the biggest conferences of the year. It seems that its cult-like status will continue in an interactive way. The Bean meme becomes a reality I need to exist in The very moment I saw Killer Bean jump out of a convertible and use two guns to shoot at oth...
