Election 2024

After Joe Biden crashed and burned during his debate with Donald Trump back in June, the left, which had long claimed he was sharp as a tack, suddenly turned on him and called for him to drop out. Biden remained defiant for weeks, but soon the big donors stopped writing checks and the party leadership did everything they could to push him out. Even Hollywood got involved. Actor George Clooney wrote an op-ed in the New York Times calling for Joe Biden to step down. 

Pro-immigration Democrats are finally waking up to realize their anti-border security policies cost them the election after a report found that President-elect Donald Trump’s tough-on-immigration campaign drove swing voters to cast their ballot for him.

The Biden administration’s utter sabotage of our country’s immigration policies, played a much larger role in the GOP’s epic win this election cycle. Yet marxist dems are still in denial.

Every USA election cycle, there is a predictable chorus of celebrities vowing to pack up and relocate to Canada. If their candidate loses, they’ll board the first flight, ticket in hand, maple leaves in their eyes. It’s an old refrain, and by now, the polite Canadian in me wishes to say, “Thanks, but no thanks.” There’s no reason to uproot your Hollywood lives. We’re very happy here! And to be honest, Canada is closed. We’ve already let enough ‘bad actors’ into our country the past few years.

Allan Lichtman’s weekslong on-air meltdown, refusing to admit his election prediction was wrong, is a symbol of the times.

A funny thing happened this week.

Historian Allan Lichtman had yet another televised postelection meltdown, exchanging a barrage of words with Young Turks host Cenk Uygur over the professor’s botched 2024 predictions.

WOW! Cenk Uygur deserves an award for this. He called out Allan Lichtman, the Know-Nothing who claims he's an election prophet.

"You don't know anything… you're so deluded. You were preposterously and stupidly wrong."

The insignia of a donkey, maybe if bucking its hind legs, can still work as truth in advertising for Democrats. But for the party of the kickback pigs, mobbing the trough seems a more accurate symbol.

Democrats, the party of government graft and grifts, fell victim to graft and grifts this election cycle.

The Harris campaign paid Nu Vision Media $350,000 immediately prior to Roland Martin, who runs that company, conducting a half-hour interview of the vice president that nobody watched. “It should have been a hell of a lot more,” Martin told the New York Times about not his viewership numbers, but the money paid to his group. “More should have been spent on Black-owned media.”

Using early-voting data, an emerging crop of number-crunchers predicted Trump’s win long before the pollsters and pundits did.

Six days before the election, the statistician Nate Silver issued a warning to his 3.4 million followers on X: “Just Say No to analysis of early voting. It probably won’t help you to make better predictions. But you may fool yourself.” He received a prompt reply from a Utah woman, posting anonymously under the handle @DataRepublican.

“Nate, sit down,” she wrote. “You don’t know anything about early voting.”

She turned out to be right—at least about this election.

Trump won every county in West Virginia in 2016, 2020 and 2024. Republicans hold every state office. The last Democrat to win statewide office supported Trump; his Republican opponent did not. Republicans control the state Senate 32-2 and the House 91-9.

On Friday, the local newspaper’s editorial was “A way to get Dems back on track.” Its cartoon was anti-Gaetz. Its three columns were all anti-Republican screeds. In other words, it was a typical day for the Charleston Gazette-Mail.

Its news coverage reflects its editorial page. Its circulation reflects its editorial page too. The paper has already been sold once in bankruptcy court. Support local journalism, it proclaims online. Good luck with that plea for help because 70% of the state voted for Trump.

Having been born in 1964, I have never felt part of any particular “generation.” Technically I am lumped in with the Baby Boomers, but I feel as much attachment to that generation as I do to Gen Z. Boomers, in my mind, were the generation that either fought or protested the Vietnam War, which ended when I was 11 years old.

Money may not be able to buy you love, but “joy” is extremely expensive.

Shane Goldmacher reports in the New York Times, ‘all told, the Biden and Harris campaigns collectively raised about $2.15 billion, two people said.” For comparison, the Biden campaign raised and spent a bit more than $1 billion in the 2020 cycle.

Now that we have had some time to think about the consequences of Trump’s Presidential and downballot successes in the recent election, we are in a much better position to help those who have such a hard time accepting reality.

What is the committed leftist Democrat to do? Should I scream like Karen? Should I stay or should I go?
