Young men clutching swords, baseball bats and pieces of lumber are standing guard outside a Sikh gurdwara near Toronto’s Pearson Airport, their eyes scanning the perimeter for signs of trouble in the dark.
Prayers broadcasting from inside the temple mix with Punjabi music blaring from a pick-up truck parked nearby. The mood has been tense ever since the sun set.
The party was buzzing, the confidence was surging and Kenneth Stewart was riding the Trump train. “He’s masculine,” explained Stewart, an African American man from Chicago. “He brings a lot of energy. He talks about things that we can understand. He talks about building. He talks about the auto industry. He talks about a lot of stuff that people in the Rust Belt care about.”
Stewart was a guest at Donald Trump’s election watch event in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Tuesday night and celebrated his victory over Democratic vice-president Kamala Harris. The result said much about gender, race and the new media landscape. It also represented a populist backlash against America’s perceived elites.
A populist backlash against the people who lied to them every day 24/7.

OTTAWA—Don’t let anyone tell you the re-election of Donald Trump is not a jolt to Canada’s political landscape. Or that we’ve been there, done that.
The fallout is about to overwhelm the Canadian government’s agenda for the next four years.
More random TDS ….Thing is TDS is really the same response by the Liberal-Left to any politician they declare to be right of Pol Pot maybe just a bit more whiny.

A senior adviser to president-elect Donald Trump says the incoming administration will focus on achieving peace in the war in Ukraine rather than winning back territory.
Bryan Lanza, a Republican party strategist, told the BBC the Trump administration would ask Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for his version of a “realistic vision for peace”.
“And if President Zelensky comes to the table and says, well we can only have peace if we have Crimea, he shows to us that he’s not serious,” he said.
As questions loom over Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s leadership, a new Nanos Research poll commissioned for CTV News says a quarter of Canadians say none of the potential Liberal leadership candidates appeal to them.
The survey offered people a selection of potential candidates to lead the party, including the current leader, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and a range of cabinet ministers and other high-profile Canadians. Of those polled, most selected “none of the above.”
Oh dear, gorgeous George, what have you gone and done? Single-cat-lady Taylor, you’ve lost it; not sure how you’ll shake this off. Lady Gaga? Stick to the day job, love, while the US goes to hell in a handcart.
The post-election blame game has begun and a slew of Democrat-supporting celebrities are first in the firing line. From Clooney to Beyoncé, they were supposed to dazzle swing voters with their star power.
Not even Harrison Ford’s buccaneering archaeologist could prevent Indiana falling into the (disturbingly tiny) hands of Donald Trump.

In the days after U.S. election, the South Korean feminist 4B movement has gone viral online, fuelled by American women dismayed at the re-election of Donald Trump, a man who has been found guilty in a civil court of sexual abuse.
The 4B philosophy urges women to boycott dating, sex, marriage and childbirth with men as an act of resistance against misogyny.

A Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) supervisor told disaster relief workers in Florida to “avoid homes” with signs supporting President-elect Donald Trump, the agency confirmed Friday.
The FEMA official — Marn’i Washington — conveyed her edict both verbally and in a Microsoft Teams chat used by relief workers canvassing Lake Placid homes ravaged by Hurricane Milton last month, according to the Daily Wire.
“Avoid homes advertising Trump,” Washington wrote in a “best practices” memo to employees.

In a way not seen since the days of Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and Brian Mulroney, the right is on the march. Donald Trump’s victory Tuesday was the signature event, but also reflective of an already mounting political shift. So, too, are the rising figures in supposedly progressive western Europe including France’s Marine Le Pen, Italy’s Giorgia Meloni, Britain’s Nigel Farage and the Netherlands’ Geert Wilders.

This was supposed to be the tightest U.S. election in living memory. So tight, in fact, that we were told it could take days for the winner to be declared. Yet within just hours of polls closing, it was clear not only that Trump had won, but had won big.
The now-president-elect easily passed the required 270 electoral college votes. He also retook control of the Senate, is now on track to win the popular vote, and could also win a majority in the House of Representatives. That’s a fairly clean slate.

Canada’s general wealth has been in a sharp decline when compared to the United States for over 10 years. In 2013, GDP per capita in the United States and Canada was nearly equal at US$53,000. Today, GPD per capita in the United States is nearing US$82,000 while Canada remains stagnant at US$53,000.
To make things worse, Canada’s federal government plans to put a punitive emissions cap on the oil and gas industry while President-elect Donald Trump is talking about imposing trade tariffs of 10-20 percent on goods coming into the United States. Canada could be heading toward an economic cliff.
Millions rallied behind Donald Trump as they rejected appeals they viewed as condescending and out of touch
Lisa Neisler rolls her eyes and scoffs. She is thinking about a campaign advert featuring the actress Julia Roberts, in which women were encouraged to vote Democratic in the secrecy of the voting booth. In the ad, conservative white women are portrayed as wanting to do “the right thing” and vote for Kamala Harris but are too afraid to tell their intimidating husbands who support Donald Trump.
How F'cking PATHETIC does @KamalaHarris & @Tim_Walz make WOMEN out to be?
This is next level EMBARRASSMENT!
Ladies, if you have to lie about voting for #HarrisWalz, you're a special kind of stupid.

“I was appalled by that commercial,” Neisler, 53, a nurse, says. “I love my husband, I respect my husband. But he doesn’t tell me what to do or who to vote for. I didn’t lose my intellect when I married him.”
Kamala Harris’s loss this week to Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential election, had me thinking about sexism, race and the issue of character.
It’s now clear that the cost of living, crime and border/immigration anxieties soured voters on the Democratic party, Biden and Harris. She carried that baggage to a humiliating defeat. But as several pundits and everyday citizens also declared before and after election night, “America just isn’t ready for a female president.”
Toxic misogyny runs deep and is so bred into the body politic in the U.S. that it can’t be discounted as impacting Harris’ fortunes significantly.
She seems nice.

Church of England clergy have declared that “God is not a white man” and are working to make images of Jesus more diverse.
Diocese across the country are reviewing how biblical figures should be depicted as part of a drive for “racial justice”.
Clergy have been urged to question whether images of Jesus truly “reflect diversity”.
