Some supporters of former President Donald Trump believe that pop star Taylor Swift has been enlisted in a covert government operation aimed at bolstering Joe Biden’s reelection campaign. Consequently, they have attempted to stigmatize her for her perceived involvement.

It’s perhaps one of the strangest conspiracy theories of all time.Some fans of former President Donald Trump believe pop star Taylor Swift has been employed in a kind of covert government operation to prop up Joe Biden’s reelection bid and have therefore tried to stigmatize her.

 

 

Polling shows this is a bad idea. Swift is one of the most popular figures in America, and these Republicans are out of step with others in thinking she’s being propped up by the government.A Monmouth University poll released last week lays out the facts well. Swift comes in with a 39% favorable rating, 13% unfavorable rating and 43% saying they have no opinion of her. Among those with an opinion, 75% had a positive one.

 

Even among Republicans, she scores a 25% favorable to 18% unfavorable rating. That is, more Republicans like her than dislike her. Of those who had an opinion, 58% viewed her favorably.This lines up well with a Marist College poll from December that showed similar figures once you exclude those with no opinion.

 

 

Trump is far more unpopular than Swift. He has a 45% favorable to a 55% unfavorable rating among those with an opinion, according to an aggregate of recent polling. That puts his favorable rating about 25 to 30 points lower than Swift’s, depending on the poll.This could be why Trump hasn’t humored his base over the concerns about Swift.

 

Indeed, it would be hard to find anyone more popular than Swift these days. Her favorable-to-unfavorable ratio is far higher from what I can tell than any current politician nationally.In some ways, one could consider Swift to be a modern-day Oprah Winfrey. It’s a comparison CNN host Michael Smerconish has made. Swift, like Winfrey, seems to make news no matter where she goes.

 

 

The comparison is apt when you think back to Winfrey’s endorsement of Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential election. Winfrey was regularly hitting Swift levels of popularity back then, when accounting for those without an opinion.

 

One study suggested that she got Obama about 1 million votes during his primary battle with Hillary Clinton. That may have been enough to help him win the 2008 Democratic nomination in what was a close contest.

 

 

The fact that Winfrey proved to be a vote-getter for Obama may be why many Democrats are hoping Swift can do the same for Biden. Swift, who has endorsed Democrats in the past, has not backed Biden’s 2024 bid as of now.

 

She has, however, been linked to over 30,000 new voter registrations in 2018, when she asked people to sign up to vote. (Most Americans – 68% – approve of Swift encouraging people to vote in the 2024 election, the Monmouth poll found.)

Breaking News: Serena Williams SHAMES Paris restaurant for turning her and her kids away during 2024 Olympics – and the five-star hotel replies:

 

Serena Williams has called out a five-star hotel in Paris for denying her family access to a rooftop restaurant despite it being completely empty.

 

 

The 23-time Grand Slam winner took to X to publicly complain about the treatment she received at The Peninsula Hotel on Monday, sharing her annoyance at the way in which her visit went down

 

 

.

‘Yikes,’ Williams wrote. ‘@peninsulaparis I’ve been denied access to rooftop to eat in a empty restaurant of nicer places but never with my kids. Always a first.’

 

 

 

Williams also shared a snap of the sign on the hotel, so that her followers could know which establishment she was talking about.

The Peninsula Hotel later expressed regret for turning down Williams, sharing on X: ‘Dear Mrs. Williams, Please accept our deepest apologies for the disappointment you encountered tonight.

Unfortunately, our rooftop bar was indeed fully booked and the only unoccupied tables you saw belonged to our gourmet restaurant, L’Oiseau Blanc, which was fully reserved.

‘We have always been honored to welcome you and will always be to welcome you again. The Peninsula Paris.’

Williams’ fans were quick to rip the hotel for rejecting the tennis legend as one X user asked: ‘How does one get denied when they are Serena Williams…… lol’

Glad you didn’t have to waste money there,’ another fan pointed out.

‘You’re better off not going, their food is subpar — I’ve unfortunately had to pay for it quite a few times,’ someone else said.

Williams has attended several Olympic disciplines with her six-year-old daughter, Olympia, and her family in Paris.

Olympic Integrity in Question: Simone Biles’ Honors Under Fire Amid Age Fraud Allegations

 

In a shocking turn of events, the Olympic community is reeling as allegations of age fraud surface against American gymnast Simone Biles. The 25-year-old gymnastics superstar, widely regarded as one of the greatest of all time, is facing mounting pressure as many call for her honors to be stripped.

 

According to sources, an investigation has been launched into Biles’ age, with some claiming she may have falsified her birth certificate to compete in younger age groups earlier in her career. If true, this would be a violation of Olympic rules and could result in Biles being stripped of her medals and titles.

 

Biles has yet to comment on the allegations, but her team has released a statement denying any wrongdoing. “Simone has always been transparent about her age and has never attempted to deceive anyone,” the statement read.

As the investigation continues, the Olympic community is holding its breath. If Biles is found guilty, it would be a devastating blow to the sport and could have far-reaching consequences.

Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
