Aborted

At last, it appears that the Party of Chaos got its fondest wish: it aborted itself in the 2024 election. “Joe Biden” was the coat-hanger it used: this miserable, grifting, now-senile hack politician who will be remembered only for driving his country to the verge of ruin. And for what? All in an effort to cover-up a long train of crimes and abuses against the American people perpetrated by a permanent bureaucracy gone rogue that was the party’s partner-in-crime. And now it’s over.

Article No. 473 In The Star’s ‘No One I Know Voted For “TrumpHitler” Series’

All the president’s men: Donald Trump’s support from the manosphere is clear, even if it’s confounding

What do a mixed martial arts promoter, social-media stars, an attempted assassin, and a golfing legend’s genitalia have in common?

They all played some role in securing Donald Trump’s re-election.

Trump’s ability to win over men — particularly younger white and Latino men — was key to his successful campaign.

With the votes now counted, the influence of the manosphere — and Trump’s ability to appeal to traditional concepts of masculinity — in sending Trump back to Washington is coming clear, even if it is confounding.

Donald Trump Wins Arizona, Reversing the State’s Blue Trend

President-elect Donald J. Trump has won Arizona and its 11 electoral votes, The Associated Press said on Saturday night, flipping yet another swing state and bringing his final Electoral College tally to 312. With his victory in Arizona, Mr. Trump has now won all seven of this year’s battleground states.

Mr. Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris in Arizona is a reversion to the state’s traditionally conservative status: It has voted for a Democrat only twice since the 1940s, including in 2020, when Joseph R. Biden Jr. eked out a win over Mr. Trump by just over 10,000 votes.

Who’s in the frame to join Trump’s new top team?

Donald Trump made the first official hire of his incoming administration, announcing 2024 campaign co-chair Susan Summerall Wiles as his chief of staff.

The president-elect’s transition team is already vetting a series of candidates ahead of his return to the White House on 20 January 2025.

Many who served under Trump in his first term do not plan to return, though a handful of loyalists are rumoured by US media to be making a comeback.

A surreal evening at Mar-a-Lago as Team Trump gets to work

At about 7.30pm on Friday, three days after he clinched his re-election as the 47th president of the United States, Donald Trump walked into the soft, golden light of his Mar-a-Lago club bearing a magnanimous smile, and basked in a wave of applause from around the dining room.

Under the crystal chandeliers, frescoed walls and marble pillars sat a coterie of those closest to the man who was, again, about to be the leader of the free world. Eric and Lara Trump, his son and daughter-in-law (she is co-chair of the Republican National Committee), were celebrating their anniversary. Roger Stone, one of his confidants and a fellow convicted felon, sat at a table with Tulsi Gabbard, a reformed Democrat and part of the transition team.

Nancy Pelosi Blames Biden’s Late Exit from Presidential Race for Harris Loss

Representative Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) suggested Vice President Kamala Harris lost the general election this week due to President Joe Biden’s late exit from the presidential race and bemoaned the lack of an open primary.

“Had the president gotten out sooner, there may have been other candidates in the race,” the former House speaker said in a post-election interview with the New York Times‘ Lulu Garcia-Navarro on Thursday. “Kamala, I think, still would have won, but she may have been stronger, having taken her case to the public sooner.”

Legacy Media Indict Themselves When They Blame The ‘Right-Wing Media Ecosystem’

Journalists seem poised to learn all the wrong lessons from Donald Trump’s victory this week, repeating a pattern they’ve been unable to shake since the frenzied days of 2016. A moment from CNN’s “Inside Politics” on Thursday is especially instructive — and an ominous portent of the media’s ability to recapture influence.

Laura Barrón-López is the White House correspondent at PBS News and a political analyst at CNN. On a panel with Dana Bash and John King — the network’s chief political and chief national correspondent respectively — Barrón-López made a claim so objectively false is almost defies believability. Bash and King, of course, found it deeply compelling.

For the Left, it’s Mourning in America

Let the rending of garments (and the finger-pointing) begin.

The Trump election landslide this week, including the capture of the Senate and House, means a new morning in America. For Democrats, though, it’s just mourning in America.

Donald Trump’s 312-226 electoral vote wipeout dealt a soul-crushing blow to the Party of Joy. But this time, the Democrats can’t even fault the electoral college system that frustrates their power-grabbing ambitions, because Trump handily won the popular vote as well, by nearly 5 million votes. The Democrats have nothing left to blame but each other – and the finger-pointing recriminations started almost immediately as the Trump victory began to look inevitable.

Worst Election Media Meltdowns: An American ‘Nightmare’

It’s been a rough few days for the leftist media elites, they have been in anguish ever since Election Day.

The mix of anger and sadness poured out as they called the massive win for Donald Trump and the GOP a “nightmare” and questioned if America had “given up on democracy.” Journalists like Stephanie Ruhle warned that the voters had just “f’d around” and were about to “find out.”

Michael Higgins: The rise of the TERFs secured Trump’s victory

Democrats, progressive lefties and feminists are stunned that a female presidential candidate has been rejected by women in favour of someone widely seen by them as a deplorable misogynist.

But why the shock? If women continually see their rights eroded by the very people that should be upholding and supporting them, then obviously they are going to rebel.

It Seems Democrats Learned Nothing From Their Loss

President-elect Donald Trump made history this week after pulling off one the biggest political comebacks, as well a big congratulations to Republicans gaining the Senate and presumably the House.

As to no surprise, Democrats are furious. Not only did Trump win the election, but he gained momentum in every single group and demographic while Vice President Kamala Harris didn’t even come close.

Not everyone in Canada is wincing over Donald Trump’s election victory

WTF? I’m wincing over ChatGPT’s lame effort.

Donald Trump’s victory has produced two types of Canadians — those who hope nothing like that happens here, and those who believe this country could use a bit more of the politics that vaulted Trump back into power.

I am, no surprise, firmly of the first view, among the majority of Canadians who would rather Americans keep their Trump-style politics to themselves. But in recent weeks, we’ve seen at least a couple of polls showing that support for Trump in Canada is up from where it was eight years ago, especially among those who lean Conservative.

The three reasons Trump won

Bishop Butler once observed that probability is “the very guide of life.” This is true. It follows that possibility is cheap, an errant muse. Yes, we must stash away in the back of our mind the admonition that “in this life… we must always distinguish between the Unlikely and the Impossible” (that’s the philosopher R. Psmith, courtesy of P.G. Wodehouse). Nevertheless, we should not run our lives or write our columns on that basis.

“Why Trump won.” That is my assignment. I shall treat it as a declaration, not a question. And even though I write before the returns are in, I can give you the reasons. After all, I have been predicting that Donald Trump would win “in a landslide” at least since July.
