The combined star power of Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Cardi B, Jennifer Lopez, George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Bruce Springsteen, Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro and many, many more failed to carry Kamala Harris over the finish line on Tuesday — a humiliating defeat for the entertainment industry, which had mobilized many of its biggest celebrities this election cycle in the service of the Democrat party.
President-elect Donald Trump’s resounding victory — he won the electoral and popular votes — signals the diminishing power of Hollywood stars as political influencers and message amplifiers.
New York Attorney General Letitia James vowed to “fight back again” as she and Gov. Kathy Hochul treated President-elect Donald Trump as the enemy in a divisive post-election press conference Wednesday.
A defiant Hochul announced she formed an “Empire State Freedom Initiative” to prepare to fight “policy and regulatory threats” from the incoming Trump administration.
The Democratic governor said she’s prepared to work with Trump, but spent much of her time talking about readying for political and legal war.
The End Of The Nutjob Era

Tuesday night’s results were definitive enough that there is reason to hope we may have just closed one of the worst chapters in American history. The political lesson of the Trump era has been glaringly obvious since he first came down the escalator. The system does not work for too many people, and those people want change. Instead of acknowledging this simple and clear fact, with all the implications it entails, America’s elites descended into a decade of insanity.
First, they tried like crazy to come up with any excuse for the first Trump win
Donald Trump's blowout win has been a replay of 2016 — down to an underwhelming female candidate, nonetheless heavily favored by the mainstream media, who couldn't even show her face to concede on Election Night.
Doesn't that say it all?
Kamala Harris thought she had what it took to be President of the United States, yet lacks the integrity, humility and strength of character to admit defeat.The video player is currently playing an ad. You can skip the ad in 5 sec with a mouse or keyboard
Indeed, just as Hillary Clinton did during her epic loss, an emissary was sent out to tell all those faithful fans gathered at Kamala HQ
Shortly after Vice President Kamala Harris called President-elect Donald Trump to concede the 2024 race for the White House Wednesday afternoon, failed campaign manager Jen O'Malley Dillon sent an email to staffers about next steps.
"Just a few moments ago, the Vice President connected with President Trump to concede the race. In the call, she told him that she would work with President Biden to ensure a peaceful transfer of power," the email states. "She also made clear that she hopes he will be a President for all Americans."
"I don't have words to express the gratitude I have for everyone getting this email. You left everything on the field.
Billionaire founder of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, has congratulated Trump on his “extraordinary political comeback.”
Bezos wrote in a post on X, “Big congratulations to our 45th and now 47th President on an extraordinary political comeback and decisive victory.”
“No nation has bigger opportunities. Wishing Donald Trump all success in leading and uniting the America we all love,” added Bezos.
Two weeks ago, Bezos, who owns the Washington Post, made headlines after he directed the left-leaning newspaper not to endorse any political candidate in the 2024 election, which sparked backlash among many liberal employees at the company.
You're fired! Jack Smith might be out of a job by January, now that Donald Trump won the presidency once more.
According to NBC News, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is making moves to wind down their two federal criminal cases against President-elect Donald Trump before he takes office. This lawfare concession complies with a longstanding DOJ policy stipulating that a sitting president cannot be prosecuted, sources told NBC News. (X) A 2000 memo from the department's Office of Legal Counsel affirmed a Watergate-era conclusion that prosecuting a sitting U.S. president would "unduly interfere in a direct or formal sense with the conduct of the presidency."
MSNBC and CNN anchors held back tears and questioned the state of America as they reckoned with a stunning win by former President Donald Trump during the early hours of Wednesday.
CNN political commentator Van Jones appeared to be on the verge of weeping as it became increasingly apparent that Trump would handily defeat Vice President Kamala Harris in Tuesday’s election.
Jones, the former Obama administration official and Democratic Party activist, gave a somber assessment of the election late Tuesday, saying he “woke up this morning with a dream” only to be “going to bed with a nightmare.”
Kamala Harris will officially concede the election to Donald Trump in a speech to her devastated fans in Washington D.C. - after President Joe Biden called his new successor to congratulate him.
The 81-year-old commander-in-chief, who watched the astonishing results from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue on Tuesday night, is also planning to address the nation on Thursday.
Harris called Trump to officially admit her loss and urge him to 'importance of a peaceful transfer of power' just after 1:30 pm on Wednesday. President Joe Biden also called Trump and plans to address the nation tomorrow after the shift of power.
Vice President Kamala Harris lost decisively to former President Donald Trump on Tuesday, and it’s important to review just how badly she performed across the country.
From losing historically Blue counties and cities to underperforming with key Democrat demographics, here’s how Americans delivered the presidency to Trump.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to MSNBC’s chief race hustler, Joy Reid, for her comments after it became clear on Election Day that America would be spared a Kamala Harris presidency.See, as a Black man, I did not vote for Harris, as did many others with my shade of melanin. For this unforgivable affront, Democrats have been demonizing people like me since even before the election, when polling showed that a sizeable portion of Black men would rather eat Harris’ bathtub-washed collard greens than pull the lever for this tyrant.
But during the broadcast, Reid gave folks like myself a bit of a reprieve, turning the focus

Americans didn't vote for Donald Trump because they wanted to "preserve norms," whatever that could possibly mean coming from the mouths of people who broke every political rule in the book to destroy him.
Presented with as clear a choice as possible between the establishment and a crew determined to crush it, Americans were very clear: TEAR IT DOWN.
Trump didn't run to be a modest correction to the status quo, and he didn't win because of any particular policy proposal. He won because a majority of Americans are disgusted by our establishment and how it has abused us.
The celebration was in full, frenzied swing.
Concession stands were starting to run low on alcoholic seltzers. In Donald Trump’s campaign headquarters in West Palm Beach, his most ardent supporters had been drinking for hours.
As it crept past midnight, a shoeless woman in a short white dress emptied her guts on to the bare concrete floor of the convention center.

The Harris campaign and allied groups burned more than $2.185 billion trying to prevent former President Donald Trump from completing the greatest comeback in American political history, according to Open Secrets.
The Democrats’ losing effort comes even though the Harris campaign outraised the Trump campaign. From January 2023 to Oct. 16, 2024, the Harris campaign raised $997.2 million, while the Trump campaign raised $388 million.
The vast sum of spending does not include millions of dollars invested in smaller amounts by Democrat-allied organizations. The top organizations that spent $2.185 billion include:
Kamala Harris called President Trump to congratulate him on his landslide victory.
President Trump absolutely crushed Kamala Harris on Tuesday night.
It wasn’t even close.
Even the seasoned pundits on CNN and MSNBC were stunned after Trump won ‘toss up states’ such as Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Kamala Harris is expected to address the nation at 4 pm ET. NBC News reported:
Vice President Kamala Harris has called Donald Trump to congratulate him on winning the 2024 presidential race, according to a senior Harris aide.
Will Democrats learn the lawfare lesson? We’ll soon find out.
One week after former President Trump’s smashing victory, there is slated to be action in a New York State court, where the president-elect must still deal with 34 felony business-records charges on which a Manhattan jury found him guilty this spring. Judge Juan Merchan is expected to rule on Trump’s motion to vacate the guilty verdicts. Team Trump argues that, under the Supreme Court’s July 1 ruling that former presidents have presumptive immunity from prosecution for official acts, the case must be thrown out because District Attorney Alvin Bragg recklessly chose to include official-acts evidence in the prosecution.
BILLINGS, Mont. — Republican Tim Sheehy bolstered the GOP’s newly acquired Senate majority with a victory over three-term Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Tester in a contest of national importance that featured a record-setting torrent of spending by the two sides.

Sheehy, a former U.S. Navy SEAL, closely aligned his campaign with Donald Trump and leading conservatives while painting Tester as a corrupt Washington insider. The Republican also promised to address the southern border crisis and curb government regulation.
His victory cements Republican dominance in Montana, where the party now controls
Former Attorney General Bill Barr, who served in President-elect Trump's first administration, is calling on prosecutors at the state and federal levels to dismiss the pending legal cases against Trump before he takes office once again.
Barr told Fox News Digital that voters were well aware of all the allegations against Trump when electing him to a second term in office on Tuesday, and that it is in the country's best interest for prosecutors to listen to them.
"The American people have rendered their verdict on President Trump, and decisively chosen him to lead the country for the next four years," Barr said.
Vice President Kamala Harris has called President-elect Donald Trump to concede the race, offering him her congratulations on winning the 2024 election.

Donald J. Trump’s victory in the electoral competition for the presidency of the United States of America constitutes a historic moment in the dramatic events of the present and marks a formidable setback for the criminal plan of the New World Order. I express my warmest congratulations to President Trump, while I thank Our Lord for having prevented the United States and the Western world from definitively falling into the tentacles of the deep state and globalist tyranny. [Snip] I urge American Catholics and all Christians to pray for President Trump, so that the Lord may protect him in this transition phase [Snip] May God bless America.
He was wrong. Or so the American people decided. Allan Lichtman, the historian who predicted 9 of the 10 last elections, failed to accurately predict who voters would chose to become the 47th president of the United States. In a stunning political comeback, ex-President Donald Trump defeated Vice President and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris to reclaim the White House Tuesday night. "Right now after a very long night I am taking some time off to assess why I was wrong and what the future holds for America," Lichtman told USA TODAY Wednesday morning. Lichtman, an American University professor, had predicted
They knocked on doors for her. They phonebanked. They bused themselves to her rallies and stuck to her side her even after she cheated them of their promised Beyonce concert.
They gathered together for their Kamala Harris victory party at Howard University in Washington. And when victory didn't happen, she abandoned them. She has yet to make a statement for them, thanking them for their hard work, encouraging them to keep up the good fight, or telling them wait'll next time.
PARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron warmly welcomed Donald Trump back to the White House, in the first message of congratulations from a major U.S. ally to the Republican candidate.
The French president wrote on X he was “ready to work together” with Trump, “as [they] did during four years,” in a reference to the former U.S. president’s first term. Macron’s message was quickly followed by similar ones the British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Italy’s Giorgia Meloni and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte.
On Wednesday morning in Europe, Trump was closing in on victory with the Republicans taking Pennsylvania and other key states.
Cardi B, Alec Baldwin and Stephen King have slammed the result of the 2024 presidential election as Donald Trump emerged victorious.
The Grammy-winning rapper, 32, was one of the first to air out her frustration on social media after it emerged Wednesday that Trump will be returning to the White House.
Taking to Instagram Live, the “I Like It” hitmaker read aloud a comment from a fan that said, “Cardi we need you at the Trump inauguration.”
“I swear to god I’m gonna f*** you up, get away from me,” she said during the video with more than 37,000 followers. “I’m sick of you!
