Trump wins presidency for second time,
completing improbable comeback

Former President Trump has won the presidency, securing a second term nearly four years after he left Washington under a cloud of ignominy and with an uncertain political future, according to a projection from Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ). DDHQ made the call after declaring Trump the projected winner of Pennsylvania and Alaska, bringing him to exactly 270 electoral votes. Trump defeated Vice President Harris in an election that saw a number of unexpected developments: a criminal trial involving Trump during the campaign, two assassination attempts against the former president and a change atop the Democratic ticket after President Biden dropped out of the race.

After months of legal battles, campaigns, and a full-court press against it by Gov. Ron DeSantis, the recreational marijuana amendment appears to have failed to pass. Recreational weed remains illegal in Florida.
But it got 55.9% of the vote, according to the unofficial returns as of 8:00 a.m. Wednesday morning. Why wasn't that good enough? Most states require a simple majority vote to pass ballot measures.
So did Florida, until a 2006 constitutional amendment passed, changing the threshold for voter approval to 60%. Ironically, it passed with only 57.78% of the vote, one of the last amendments that will ever do so in the state.
Supporters claimed that well-financed special interest groups

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.
WATCH: Election night panel on what we’ll learn about the country from the results
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

Antifa Is Already Rioting

Antifa agitators are already rioting in Democrat-led crime cesspools, calling for chaos on Election Night no matter who wins the White House.
Black bloc militants in the city of Seattle mobilized early in the evening to launch an Election Night attack at the former site of the deadly Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ).
Seattle cops swiftly shut the anarchist occupation down and arrested several leftist activists, according to on-the-ground footage captured by The Post Millennial's Katie Daviscourt.
"There is a heavy police presence on the ground tonight," she said, noting that the Seattle Police Department is "not playing any games."
At least four Antifa suspects were arrested for obstructing traffic

Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., said Friday that the Democrats will support the peaceful transfer of power in January, but only “If it’s a free and fair election.”
Raskin was on "Real Time with Bill Maher" on Friday, where he said, "When I say we will support a free and fair election, no we we're not going to allow them to steal it in the states, steal it with the Department of Justice or steal it with any other election official in the country. If it's a free and fair election, we will do what we've always done: Honor it."
Maher responded, "That is the Democrats' history: They honor it.

Barack Obama has entered from stage left to instruct American Jews to return to the Democratic fold in their usual numbers. The video below captures him in Milwaukee this weekend retailing the “very fine people” lie. The high-handed arrogance of this riff is incredible. (X) Obama of course seeks something like a fourth term with the election of Kamala Harris. Michael Lind writes about the project in “The Obama machine.” Subhead: “No matter who wins or loses next week, we can look forward to four more years of Chicago on the Potomac.” Lind’s column makes a valuable contribution to understanding the project.

I switched from a Mac to a PC. My Mac was seven years old, and I didn’t want to spend two grand on a computer. Most of my applications are subscriptions, so there wasn’t much of a money hit for apps.
Why am I telling you this? I am now buried in garbage ads and clickbait “articles.” Microsoft’s “Edge” browser, it seems, is intent on overloading me with hot takes from Ireland to India. Edge has an endless stream of reminders and a constant stream of headline popups from CNN and MSNBC. I saw one informing me that troops were on alert in the Northwest, ready for election riots.
The world's largest crocodile in captivity has died at a wildlife sanctuary in Australia.
Cassius was nearly 5.5m (18ft) long, weighed nearly one tonne and was thought to be at least 110 years old - although no one knew for sure.
The huge saltwater crocodile lived in the sanctuary on an island off the coast of Queensland since being caught in Australia's Northern Territory in the 1980s.
In 2011, he was awarded the Guinness World Record for the largest crocodile in captivity.
Marineland Melanesia Crocodile Habitat said in a post on social media that Cassius was "our beloved mate" and "a cherished member of our family".
Cassius had previously lived in the wild,
A teenager accused of killing three young girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class for young children in the United Kingdom has been charged with possessing an al Qaeda training manual and ricin poison.
Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, 18, already faces three murder charges, 10 counts of attempted murder and one count of knife possession, authorities said Tuesday. The new charges were filed under the country's Terrorism Act, police said.
The poison and PDF study, "Military Studies in the Jihad Against the Tyrants: The al Qaeda Training Manual," were found during a search of Rudakubana's home, police said. Tests later confirmed the substance found was ricin. The risk of exposure
Hugh Hewitt Takes a Hike ...

…from the Washington Post, that is. First he walked out on the Washington Post Live’s First Look podcast with the absurd Jonathan Capehart and Ruth Marcus this morning (video below). Then, according to the follow-up New York Post story, Hugh quit his gig as a Post columnist.
Hugh was Power Line’s first media friend, from the summer and fall of 2002 in our early days online. He is something of a Renaissance man, superior in every respect to his colleagues in the mainstream media. It understates matters considerably to say that he is an old-fashioned gentleman and scholar.
Today he reached his boiling point.
MISSOULA, Mont. — A Washington state man accused of leading a wildlife trafficking ring on a Native American reservation that killed thousands of eagles and hawks to sell on the black market was sentenced Thursday to nearly four years in prison.
The trafficking ring operated for years on the Flathead Indian Reservation in northwest Montana, exploiting high demand among tribal members for feathers and other bird parts that are used in powwows and sacred ceremonies.
The defendant and others killed at least 118 eagles, 107 hawks and as many as 3,600 birds overall, prosecutors said.
Juvenile golden eagles in particular were targeted because their black and white
The annual UN resolution disapproving of the Cuba embargo came up. And the entire world, or nearly all of it, took a firm stand in favor of mandatory trade with a brutal Communist tyranny.
The UN General Assembly voted 187 – 2 in favor of its pro-Communist resolution urging the “necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba,”
The 2 were America and Israel. (Moldova, for some reason, abstained.) Every other country, our allies in Europe, even seemingly Ukraine, voted against America.
It’s a truly disgraceful showing.
Making it likely even more disgraceful is that the Marshall Islands and Micronesia voted against America

Present-elect Donald Trump’s victory on Tuesday is bringing out the absolute worst in every left-wing media personality just hours after the race was called.
With many eager to see how the shrill panel of “The View” would react to a second Trump term, co-host Sunny Hostin did not disappoint in giving viewers a stupid racist take when looking for a reason that Vice President Kamala Harris lost.
Rather than admitting Harris’ many faults during her campaign, Hostin took to blaming the defeat on certain people of a certain race.
Longtime Democrat strategist James Carville had a meltdown over former President Donald Trump becoming the president-elect, telling his podcast listeners that his win is “depressing” and “sickening." I just have to get over the fact that I’m 80 years old and I live in a country that has put a felonious bigot, who has no idea of what the world is like, is the most parochial, secular person that you could imagine…,” Carville said before pondering where it went wrong for the Democrats.

Employees of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) are reportedly terrified that there will be a "bloodbath" of layoffs once President-elect Donald Trump is inaugurated.
Which is odd, since our friends in the mainstream media have previously indicated the term "bloodbath" is a secret siren call for violence.
Kerry Picket of the Washington Times spoke to several inside sources who claim top officials at the bureau are “stunned” and “shellshocked” at the overwhelming victory for Trump in Tuesday's election.
Trump didn't just win -- he received an overwhelming mandate from the American people, along with solid Republican control of the Senate and very likely retaining control of the House.
Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign fell $20 million in debt during the final week of her campaign, according to several sources.
Christopher Cadelago, the California bureau chief for Politico wrote in a post on X that Harris’s campaign had “ended with at least $20 million in debt,” according to two sources familiar with the situation. “Harris raised over $1 billion and had $118 million in the bank as of Oct. 16,” Cadelago added in his post.

After former President Donald Trump’s election victory over Vice President Kamala Harris, some of the biggest stars in Hollywood have threatened to leave the US.
America Ferrera is reportedly ready to pack her bags after Trump’s victory. The 40-year-old is allegedly looking to start a new life in the UK with her husband, Ryan Piers Williams, and their two children, son Sebastian, 6, and daughter Lucia, 4.

Not taking a micrometer of credit away from President Trump 47 and his epically tireless, passionate, often hilariously funny, and brave — in spite of three assassination attempts and then a fourth death threat — countrywide, night-after-night, week-after-week, month-after-month, year-after-year campaign.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. — Republican Dave McCormick showed three-term Democratic Sen. Bob Casey the door in the Keystone State’s high-stakes Senate race, bringing a Pennsylvania political dynasty to an end — and securing the 53rd seat in the GOP’s 2025 Senate majority. (Photo) McCormick, an Army veteran and former hedge-fund executive, beat Casey by just over 30,000 votes, netting 49% of votes to the Democrat’s 48.5%, with 99% of votes counted, the Associated Press reports.
The minuscule margin triggered an automatic recount, as Pennsylvania law dictates for any race decided by 0.5 percentage points or less.
The Republican declared victory just after 1 p.m. Thursday, three hours hours before AP
The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points – or 0.25% – on Thursday after President Trump’s landslide victory.
The latest rate cut comes after the Fed slashed rates 50 basis points in September.
The benchmark rate is between 4.5% to 4.75%

President Joe Biden addressed the nation Thursday on President-elect Donald Trump’s resounding electoral victory and urged Americans to unify and “lower the temperature” after a divisive and intense presidential campaign.
Biden gave brief remarks from the White House and praised the American experiment of democratically electing leaders in a peaceful, orderly fashion.
“Yesterday, I spoke with President-elect Trump to congratulate him on his victory and I assured him that I would direct my entire administration to work with his team to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition,” Biden said.
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine has been busy — having calls and meeting with U.S. Senate hopefuls trying to take Vice President-elect JD Vance's seat in the nation's capital.
President-elect Donald Trump and Vance are set to take office in mid-January, but another race is heating up.
"Some people have already contacted me," DeWine said during a press conference before the election. "I've already met with some people — at their request."
DeWine has a big decision to make. Vance will need to resign from his coveted Senate seat, and the governor will appoint his replacement.
