President Joe Biden’s approval numbers for his third year in office were the worst among every commander-in-chief since Jimmy Carter‚ according to polling data from Gallup. Throughout his third year in office — January 20‚ 2023‚ through January 19‚ 2024 — Biden had an average approval rating of 39.8%. That average was the second worst among every president over the past 68 years‚ coming in just ahead of President Jimmy Carter’s 37.4% approval rating from 1979 to 1980‚ Gallup found. The poor approval ratings for Biden heading into the 2024 election don’t bode well for his campaign. Since the Eisenhower administration‚ every president who has won re-election either cleared a 50% approval rating in their fourth year or came within two points of 50%. President Barack Obama‚ who had an average approval rating of 48.1% in his fourth year‚ was the only president in the past 70 years to win a second term with a sub-50% approval rating going into his re-election. Carter‚ whose third-year approval rating was the worst in the past 70 years‚ was blown out by Ronald Reagan in the 1980 election‚ winning only 49 electoral votes to Reagan’s 489. “Biden begins his reelection campaign with a job approval rating significantly below the 50% mark that has been associated with winning a second term‚” Gallup wrote. “And while some presidents have seen sharp improvements in their fourth year and won a second term‚ Biden’s third-year rating was worse than any of theirs‚ suggesting he has a bigger hill to climb.” As the 2024 election nears‚ Biden faces multiple issues from a growing conflict in the Middle East and ongoing war in Ukraine to a porous southern border and Americans frustrated with the economy and inflation. Immigration and the economy consistently top the list of issues voters are most concerned about heading into the election. Biden’s rival former President Donald Trump has once again made addressing the border crisis a top priority for his 2024 presidential campaign. As the fight between the Biden administration and Texas over border security heated up this week‚ Trump called on states to send their national guards to Texas to support the state in its effort to repel illegal immigrants. “We encourage all willing States to deploy their guards to Texas to prevent the entry of Illegals‚ and to remove them back across the Border‚” Trump said. “All Americans should support the commonsense measures by Texas authorities to protect the Safety‚ Security‚ and Sovereignty of Texas‚ and of the American people.” Meanwhile‚ Biden continues to urge Congress to pass bipartisan legislation addressing the illegal immigration crisis and giving Biden more power “to shut down the border when it becomes overwhelmed.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Along with underwater approval numbers‚ Biden also faces an electorate that is overwhelmingly pessimistic about the direction of the country. According to the Real Clear Politics average‚ two-thirds of voters say the U.S. is heading in the wrong direction while only 24% say the country is on the right track.

President Joe Biden’s border crisis reached new levels last month‚ according to newly released numbers from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Federal agents encountered 302‚034 illegal aliens last month‚ the highest level ever recorded‚ surpassing the previous record that Biden set in September 2023 when 269‚735 illegal aliens were encountered. At least 19 illegal aliens who were arrested were on the terrorist watchlist. The Biden administration waited until late on Friday evening to release the information to the public‚ a clear indicator that they were trying to bury the news. BREAKING: In Friday news dump‚ CBP officially reports 302‚034 migrant encounters in December‚ the highest month ever recorded. CBP also reports Border Patrol arrested 19 people on the FBI terror watchlist in December‚ bringing the total to 50 arrests for fiscal year 2024 so far. — Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) January 26‚ 2024 The situation on the U.S. southern border has deteriorated so significantly under Biden that December’s illegal alien numbers are nearly identical to the total number of illegal aliens that were arrested at the U.S. southern border for the entire 2017 fiscal year‚ when federal officials apprehended 303‚916 illegal aliens. The number of illegal aliens encountered on the southern border last month is comparable to or larger than the population of numerous major U.S. cities‚ including Orlando‚ Newark‚ Pittsburgh‚ St. Louis‚ Spokane‚ Irving‚ Lubbock‚ and more. Former Acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf responded to the historic border numbers by saying that it was evidence that Biden was intentionally causing the crisis. “Today’s historical border numbers confirm what we already know‚” he wrote on X. “The Biden Admin is not using existing authority to secure the border. This continues to be a crisis by design‚ it’s overwhelming Border Patrol‚ and overrunning American communities.” While the crisis continues to worsen‚ Biden is fighting the state of Texas in the courts to prevent Governor Greg Abbott from being able to stop what is increasingly being referred to as an “invasion” into his state. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP House Speaker Mike Johnson responded to the news by saying he fully supports Republicans’ efforts to impeach DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas‚ which could begin as soon as next week. “Our border is wide open and the Biden administration is to blame‚” Johnson said. “I fully support @HomelandGOP ’s impeachment efforts and I look forward to seeing Secretary Mayorkas held accountable for this catastrophe.”

Country music artist Morgan Wallen took to social media on Friday to tell fans that his former management‚ allegedly against his consent‚ is releasing songs Wallen recorded back in 2014‚ when he was first trying his hand at the music business and signed deals without legal representation. One of Wallen’s top concerns seemed to be that fans would think the release of these old songs‚ which he said were mostly “terrible‚” could be confused by fans for new music from the singer. “Trust me‚ when new music is ready‚ you’ll hear it directly from me‚” he said. “Back in 2014‚ I went to Florida to try my hand at making original music &; songwriting for the first time‚” Wallen explained in a post on Instagram‚ where the singer has nearly 7 million followers. “This led to a recording deal with a local investor &; an artist management deal that I deeply regret. Unfortunately‚ I signed both deals without any legal representation.” “We made 13 songs‚” the “Last Night” singer explained. “Some were ok‚ most were terrible as I was just learning how to write in general &; figuring it all out. I was not the only collaborator‚ so many of these songs were not my idea nor to my standards. We deemed 5 worthy-enough to make the Stand Alone EP which includes a fan-favorite‚ ‘Spin You Around.'” Wallen said he “parted ways” with these people nearly a decade ago‚ but now they are going to release a “10th Anniversary edition ‘Stand Alone’ against my wishes &; include 8 unreleased songs‚ distributing it with the assistance of my former managers.” “For months I’ve been exploring every avenue possible to acquire the rights to this old music &; keep the quality of my catalog consistent with songs I choose to release &; believe in‚” he said. “It’s gross‚ greedy &; an example of how the dark side of the music business can suck the soul out of artists.” “I don’t want to see this happen to anyone else‚” Wallen emphasized. “I cringe when I listen to these songs &; I’m concerned my fans may mistakenly believe this is a new release by me.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “I am donating $100k from the Morgan Wallen Foundation to the Volunteer Lawyers &; Professionals For The Arts (VLPA) program‚” the 30-year-old added. “I hope young aspiring musicians read this story &; know they should never have to give up their creative freedoms for an opportunity in this business.” Related: Three Country Stars Crush Billboard Charts‚ Defy The Woke Mob

When you’re a sheep farmer facing the conditions we’re about to show you‚ it might be time to contemplate a new career path. Moving sheep around the farm is done by positioning chutes from one location to the next. The sheep farmer guides the flock through the labyrinth of chutes‚ opening gates between sections to permit passage. And then there is Marge. Image from TikTok. The video begins with several sheep hustling through the chute. Then‚ forward progression stops. The sheep farmer looks to see Marge stop in the chute and says‚ “Oh‚ Margie.” Then she almost mutters to herself‚ “Marge is too big.” Image from TikTok. Marge is indeed large. Although she doesn’t appear to be particularly overweight‚ she is a large sheep. She could probably use an exercise trampoline. And she has difficulty traversing through the chutes. Her sides rub the edges of the enclosure‚ and she is hesitant to go up the slight incline. Taking matters seriously‚ the sheep farmer moves to assist Marge. She utters encouraging words. When that fails‚ a little more forceful intervention is necessary. Image from TikTok. The sheep farmer‚ who identifies herself as a sheep negotiator‚ was persistent in helping Marge move through the chute. That meant climbing into the chute behind Marge to provide a hands-on nudge or two. Finally‚ Marge was able to make it to the top of the ramp‚ then began the downward climb into the gate. If you think we’ve had fun so far… you ain’t seen nothing yet! Image from TikTok. No Spoiler Alert‚ But The Sheep Farmer Wins (Sort Of) We aren’t going to spoil all the fun. Describing what happens next would result in losing the hilarity factor. So‚ with that‚ we’ll let you see the video with a quick warning: Do not drink anything before viewing this‚ and please share. @sheepishly..me If the shoe doesn’t fit… #sheep #farming #big #gate #stuck #sheepishlyme ♬ original sound – SheepishlyMe – SheepishlyMe You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

You see some weird stuff when you live on a farm or in an area zoned for farm animals. Many homes have cat or dog doors installed to allow the family pets to come and go at will. In a unique twist‚ one family discovered the persistence of a healthy goat (that’s my nice way to say the goat wasn’t skinny!). This is a silly tale about a goat‚ a cat door‚ and a warm house. Imagine the tranquility of a quiet afternoon at home. You’re relaxing and enjoying the calmness of rural living. All of a sudden‚ you hear a clattering. You know it isn’t Santa because it isn’t on the roof‚ and it is nowhere near Christmas. You look to the source of the commotion‚ and you see this: Image from TikTok. If you’re anything like us‚ your first thought would be‚ “Oh no‚ that silly goat got himself stuck in the cat door!” But that wasn’t exactly the case. The persistent goat shimmied and scrunched and inched his way through the tight spot. And POOF! Just like that‚ there is a goat in the kitchen! Image from TikTok. You see his goat friends in the background. We’re unsure if they were trying to convince him of the foolishness of his quest or cheering him on. You can hear the homeowner exclaim‚ “How do you do that?” in the background. His disbelief is evident. He also looks at the other two goat-buddies and says‚ “I’m glad you don’t do that.” Image from TikTok. Goat Seems At Home After Entering Through The Cat Door After squeezing through the cat door‚ the happy goat sauntered through the house as if he owned it. He is just nonchalantly checking out the house like he does this every day. And he might. Based on the homeowner’s reaction‚ this appears to be a consistent issue. When you have a cat or dog door‚ you never know what might wander into your home. One gentleman in New Zealand has a new owl friend courtesy of his cat door! Goats are really silly critters‚ and they are a blast to watch!
