What's In And What's Out After Trump's
Stunning Victory
Posted By: RockyTCB, 11/6/2024 2:41:56 AM
For more than a year, pundits in the mainstream media were feeding the public a steady diet of catchphrases, aphorisms, mantras, and predictions. Almost none of them turned out to be true. But being wrong has never caused elite media types to self-reflect. They just issue a new set of catchphrases, aphorisms, mantras, and predictions. So, rather than wait for them, we decided to make our own predictions. We will have much more to say about this election, about the unprecedented legal attacks, the vitriol hurled at half of American voters,

Editor’s note: As we write this at 1:21 a.m. ET, Fox News projects that Donald Trump has won Pennsylvania, which means that there is no chance for Kamala Harris to win this election. This is an astonishing victory.
So, we thought we should reprint a piece written by guest contributor Paul Petrick who put it in the proper perspective back in March. This was, mind you, before the felony convictions, before two assassination attempts, before Biden stepped aside and handed the nomination to Kamala Harris.
We’ve become accustomed to Democratic Party operatives thinly disguised as journalists smearing, slurring, slamming, and lying about Republican candidates. They don’t want voters to know the truth. They’re not objective purveyors of the facts but rather political players who want to have the power to pick the winners of every election.
Some years ago, while at the University of California, Los Angeles, economics professor Timothy Groseclose wrote a book that showed Democratic candidates start their campaigns with significant leads over their GOP candidates due to media preference.
In “Left Turn: How Liberal Media Bias Distorts the American Mind,”
President Donald Trump gave fact checkers a run for their money over the weekend when he claimed on Saturday that the latest jobs report – showing just 12,000 jobs created – was “depression-type numbers.”
We can almost hear fact-checking heads exploding.
But if these “fact checkers” are really after the truth, why do they repeatedly let Joe Biden and Kamala Harris off the hook for their false claims about jobs?

It seems everyone but the Democrats have had a bit of fun with President Joe Biden’s insulting characterization of former President Donald Trump’s supporters as “garbage” (and, yes, he did mean Trump’s supporters, not Trump himself). Not so funny is what it shows about the Democrats, who seem to loathe any American who doesn’t support them.
It started with a bad joke told by a comedian, one of 30 warmup speakers at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally, who referred to Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage.” Trump didn’t make the remark, nor did he approve of it.
“This joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign,”
You’ve probably been reading in the news lately about how Democrats have started calling Donald Trump a fascist.
They’re saying things like:
“The stench of fascism is in the air,” and
He wants to “replace the Bill of Rights with fascist precepts lifted verbatim from Mein Kampf,” and He “displays the supremacist ideology of Nazi Germany.’’
And, “He is a fascist, for his program takes immediate and direct aim at (a sector of) the working class.’’
Oh, wait. Those statements weren’t about Trump at all.
The Cemetery Voting Bloc

The presidential election will be here before we know it and there is a crucial constituency that conservatives have traditionally ignored but may prove to be the pivotal element in the forthcoming election: the cemetery vote.
For many decades, the Democrats have had the black vote bloc firmly in their rear-end pocket and will probably continue to be that way, whether the Democratic candidate is Jack the Ripper, or Joan of Arc. They also hope that the Hispanic vote may be just as mindlessly subservient as the black voting bloc, but this may not be a certainty since a third

Illegal immigration remains a major issue in this election. While the media has tended to downplay its seriousness, even as millions crossed into the U.S. uninvited, the issue is one that could well decide the election, now less than two weeks away.
The latest I&I/TIPP Poll of 1,491 adults, taken from Oct. 2 to Oct. 4, asked voters in particular about strong evidence that a significant number of those crossing into the U.S. have criminal records or have ties to criminal gangs, drug cartels, or even terrorist groups.
The poll, with a margin of error of +/-2.6 percentage points, asked respondents the following three questions:
A New Plank For The Trump Platform
8 replies
Most Americans don’t have warm feelings for the federal government’s tax collection agency. A Pew Research Center poll found that more than half of the country has an unfavorable opinion of the Internal Revenue Service. Only 42% have a favorable opinion.
Donald Trump needs to capitalize on this discontent, and at the same time seize the momentum that Javier Milei created when he shut down Argentina’s tax bureau.
According to the Pew Research Center, the IRS “was among the least popular” of the 16 federal agencies and departments it asked Americans about in a 2023 survey. While more Democrats held a favorable opinion of the IRS (53%) than unfavorable (40%),
Trump’s Media Haters Still Don’t Get It

This is an actual headline that appeared in a “journalism” newsletter 13 days before the election: “How much coverage of Donald Trump is too much?”
The column is from Tom Jones, senior media writer at the Poynter Institute and, you’ll not be surprised to learn, a man consumed by Trump Derangement Syndrome. I’ve said in the past that Jones’ daily “Poynter Report” column would be more accurately titled, “Why I Hate Donald Trump and Fox News.” (For what it’s worth, Jones would dispute this. In 2020, I sent him an email pointing out glaring biases evident in his commentary. He

Lawfare Assault On Trump Is Real? 9 replies
Democrats have denied that their serial attempts to imprison former President Donald Trump and a long list of his former aides, political allies and supporters amount to an illegal campaign of political lawfare. But how else do you describe President Joe Biden’s shocking demand this week that “we gotta lock him (Donald Trump) up”?
Of course, immediately after saying it, Biden even in his attenuated mental state realized he had said something horribly wrong. So he backtracked, auto-erased his initial comment and said, “politically lock him up.” Which of course is a non-sequitur.
Lock him up for what? Does it really matter?

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.

A Kamala campaign staffer confirmed to Breitbart News that the reports that Harris’s campaign was “$20 million” in debt “is real,” adding

Packing their bags!
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.
A source told Daily Mail that the “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” alum is in search of a better life for her kids.“America is sick that Donald Trump is President again,” the insider claimed to the outlet. “She is devastated that Kamala lost.
Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough was visibly shocked when his wife and co-host Mika Brzezinski revealed how high the cost of butter has gotten in the last four years.

It was exactly 1:38 A.M. today that Bret Baier on Fox News said that it was clear “that the next president of the United States of America would be Donald J. Trump.”
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.
Whoever coined the word “superhuman” had a person like Trump in mind!
But I have to give the lion’s share of the credit for President Trump’s decisive, stunning,
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%
Fed Chairman Jerome Powell told reporters on Thursday that he will not resign his position if Trump asks him to step down “If [Trump] asked you to leave, would you go?” a reporter asked Fed Chair Powell.
“No,” Powell said.

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.
