Harris defeat is a stinging verdict for the left

When Vice President Kamala Harris took the reins of the Democratic Party just over 100 days ago, it was the latest triumph in a political career that has been marked by both reversals of fortune and history-making breakthroughs.

After years when she was at times dismissed as the misstep-prone understudy to an unpopular president, Harris — the first Black and Indian American woman nominated for the presidency — rose on a wave of left-wing enthusiasm after replacing President Joe Biden atop the ticket in July. She erased former president Donald Trump’s lead in the polls, drew a billion dollars in donations and became the coconut-themed avatar of a party that suddenly dared to nourish hopes of keeping the White House.

Trump Wins Dearborn, the ‘Capital’ of Arab America, in Political Upset in Michigan

President Trump’s victory in the 2024 election was partly aided by one unlikely voting bloc: Arab American voters.

Democrats’ concerns about discontent among Arab Americans over Israel’s war against Hamas appeared to come to fruition on Election Day.

The suburbs around Detroit, including Dearborn, are home to one of the largest concentrations of Arab Americans. And Trump won Dearborn, which has been labeled the “capital” of Arab America.

How Trump won a US election like no other

During the wildest week of a tumultuous US election campaign Donald Trump narrowly cheated death, was hailed as the certain winner and then saw his clear polling lead disappear in another jaw-dropping twist.

There were many more memorable moments along Trump’s unlikely path back to the White House — the first criminal conviction of a former president, a TV debate won by Kamala Harris …

America Turns the Page – Unburdened by what has been.

When former President Donald Trump rose to his feet on the campaign trail after an assassin’s bullet clipped his ear, blood streaking his cheek, and then thrust a fist into the air while exhorting his supporters to “Fight!”, was there any doubt thereafter that he was destined to win this country back?

As of this writing (2 a.m. EST), Trump has cleared the 270-electoral vote hurdle with 277. The final count is not confirmed, but even the New York Times – not exactly a Right-wing publication – gave Trump a 95% chance of victory and a projected 306 electoral votes. The Most Consequential Election of Our Lifetime™ has ended in a stunning victory for Trump and American patriots everywhere over Vice President Kamala Harris to retake the White House.

‘Trump’s America’: Comeback Victory Signals a Different Kind of Country

In the end, Donald J. Trump is not the historical aberration some thought he was, but instead a transformational force reshaping the modern United States in his own image.

In her closing rally on the Ellipse last week, Kamala Harris scorned Donald J. Trump as an outlier who did not represent America. “That is not who we are,” she declared.
In fact, it turns out, that may be exactly who we are. At least most of us.

The assumption that Mr. Trump represented an anomaly who would at last be consigned to the ash heap of history was washed away on Tuesday night by a red current that swept through battleground states — and swept away the understanding of America long nurtured by its ruling elite of both parties.

Someone slipped the NYTimes a Mickey.


These people imagine themselves in danger to feed their outsized egos.

‘She’s still alive’: First Sarco suicide pod user ‘found with strangulation marks’ as boss remains in custody

Leftie pundits cannot fathom Kamala’s loss

A lot of Lefties are learning today that it’s messy to cry through a nose ring. Me, I’m quids in. A Trump victory is a goldmine for writers who aren’t heartbroken: one producer told me they were struggling to find a pundit who didn’t sound depressed.

Ian Dunt, a former host of the Remainiacs podcast, called it “America’s darkest dawn”; Paul Mason, “a fascist process”.

My favourite was Sadiq Khan, not a pundit but then not really a mayor either, who tweeted: “An important reminder for Londoners: our city is – and always will be – for everyone.” That’s the style: portentous and self-involving, as if the election of a president thousands of miles away has any effect on Barnes Pond. But the commentator I most enjoyed this election was Rory Stewart, a podcaster who once ran a province in Iraq (the fact that he shares his podcast with the man who helped destroy Iraq, Alastair Campbell, never fails to amaze me).

‘Canada will be absolutely fine’: Liberals try to reassure Canadians they are ready for Trump 2.0

Moment ‘polling Nostradamus’ who predicted Kamala Harris would win election realizes he was wrong

An American political historian known as the “Nostradamus” of elections was seemingly at a loss for words early Wednesday when he realized his prediction — that Kamala Harris would win the presidential election — was wrong.

Allen Lichtman, who has correctly predicted the outcome of nine of the 10 elections since 1984, was captured on a livestream repeatedly saying “I don’t get it” as Donald Trump’s landslide victory started to become evident.

@metrouk

A pollster nicknamed the 'Nostradamus of US presidential elections' appeared shocked as he realised his prediction was incorrect. Professor Allan Lichtman had only been wrong about one election before the 2024 voting began, when he predicted a win for Al Gore in 2000. Americans are waking up to the news that Donald Trump will be the 47th President of the United States. #usa #uselection #trump #allanlichtman #polling #trump #harris

Donald Trump’s win is an unmistakable cry of rebellion

The election of Donald Trump is a shout across the American stage, an unmistakable cry of rebellion, a clear expression of political revolt – and an event, embraced by his loyal base but decried by his ardent opponents, that injects an inimitable character of chaos into the leadership of a country that is in a chaotic search for its character.

Hegel called Napoleon after his triumph at the 1806 Battle of Jena “the world spirit on horseback.” Mr. Trump is the world populist spirit in a red ball cap.


I like the PPC and will likely vote for them but Canada has no Trump with a chance of winning.

Poilievre is an establishment politician who I am afraid will not move the needle much on key issues such mass immigration.

Time will tell of course but we do not have much left.

The outright racism of Team Kamala had to have had an impact much greater than the media is willing to discuss.

CBC TDS – Donald Trump will be the 1st convicted felon president. Here’s why that won’t matter but we just want to call him a felon because Ewwww!

Republican Donald Trump will be the first convicted felon to hold the White House, after beating Democratic candidate Kamala Harris to return to office after leaving in explosive fashion four years ago.

Trump’s U.S. presidential election victory will essentially end the four criminal cases brought against him, at least for the four years he occupies the White House.

Here’s a look at the questions his unprecedented status as a felon raises.


CBC wants you to know they’re very sad that President Trump has survived the partisan lawfare assault waged against him by the corrupt deep state.

Donald Trump and the revenge of the deplorables

So now we know what happens when you sneer at voters as ‘garbage’. When you view them as ‘deplorables’. When you treat them as the dim stooges of demagoguery, the playthings of powerful men. When you brand them ‘low information’ and chortle in your coffee houses about how Donald Trump is ‘preying’ on their ‘hazy understanding’ of political affairs. What happens is that they don’t vote for you.
