Say, What Happened To ‘Closest Election
In History’?
Posted By: RockyTCB, 11/7/2024 9:30:47 AM
For months running up to the Nov. 5 election, the “experts” told us that this would be the closest in history. Over and over again they said it. Always with great certainty. “This could be the closest presidential election since 1876” “Uncertainty reigns in an election closer ‘than any I have ever seen’” “Kamala Harris vs. Donald Trump is the closest presidential race of the century” “2024 Election Is The Closest Presidential Race In At Least 60 Years: Polls” “Coping with election-related anxiety in a razor-thin race” “Razor-thin race b

Of all the excesses of the four-year Trump interregnum that was the Biden-Harris administration, none was worse than the left’s use of our legal system to exact political retribution and “send a message” to those who dared oppose progressive extremism. It had all the markings of totalitarian behavior, but now it’s going down in flames.
The idea of America as a nation ruled by laws, not by the biases and whims of political powers, has been central to our country’s identity and stability since its very founding. It’s what makes our country unique in the world.
But after Biden’s 2020 election win,

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?

Biden Calling Trump Supporters ‘Garbage’

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

A fierce ally of President-elect Donald Trump warned Thursday that the new administration will have no patience for New York Attorney General Letitia James if she weaponizes the legal system against the 47th president.
“I dare you to try to continue your lawfare against President Trump in his second term,” Mike Davis, the founder of the Article III Project, an advocacy group that pushes for the nominations of conservative judges, said during an appearance on “The Benny Show” podcast.
“Listen here, sweetheart,” Davis continued, addressing James. “We’re not messing around this time and we will put your fat ass in prison for conspiracy against rights. I promise you that.”
Anti-Trump women have taken to social media to take a vow of abstinence — swearing off sex and dating men — after the former president became the president-elect once again on Tuesday.
Apparently they see it as another way to “combat the patriarchy,” as leftists like to say.
Many videos uploaded to TikTok shortly after the election referenced the “4B Movement,” a Korean radical feminist movement with tenets that go against dating men, marrying men, having sex with men, and having children.
Democrats are finally doing something about migration.
Donald Trump’s historic re-election to the White House led to a staggering number of Americans taking the left’s meltdown one step further by looking to relocate abroad this week.
Since the president-elect’s comeback victory became official on Wednesday, the number of related Google searches jumped 1,514% percent, according to VisaGuide.World. (Photo) Between Election Day on Tuesday and Wednesday, search traffic for “immigration”-related pages on the site grew by 338% — with would-be expats zeroing in on the easiest countries to relocate to, the site said.
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.
The order was the second bullet point in a list instructing workers to not go “anywhere alone,” practice “de-escalation,” stay hydrated and to “follow the rules.”
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre lost her temper and abruptly fled Thursday’s White House briefing after one brave reporter reminded the American people of the Biden-Harris regime’s malevolent pre-election message regarding President Trump.
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, a happy Joe Biden addressed Trump’s victory by congratulating him and assuring him of a peaceful transition of power. Biden also called on the country to lower the temperature and unite.
“You can’t love your country only when you win. Something I hope we can do is see each other as fellow Americans. Bring down the temperature,” Biden said.

Grocery store owners clapped back after Whoopi Goldberg on ABC’s “The View” called them “pigs” over food inflation — and raised concerns that the name-calling could expose store owners to further violence, The Post has learned.
The comedian claimed “the folks that own the groceries are pigs” as she blamed them for rising prices at supermarkets on the Thursday show — a day after Donald Trump won the presidential election by hammering on inflation in his campaign.
“Your pocketbook is bad, not because the Bidens did anything. Not because the economy is bad. Your grocery bills are what they are because the folks that own the groceries are pigs,” Goldberg said
This clip of a liberal college professor talking about her prediction for the outcome of the 2024 election is going viral and for good reasons. It’s absolutely hilarious.

Immigrants, ‘If You’re Brown, You

MSNBC host Joy Reid said Friday on her show “The ReidOut” that President-elect Donald Trump will deport legal immigrants if they are “brown.”
Reid said, “They have now gotten people of color to fight each other and not pay attention to each other and create a hate among groups of color so that when they do start hurting people and taking people out and putting people in camps. Now we have a Hutu Tutsi world where people don’t care. When they start hurting undocumented people, the other people in the country including other people of color won’t care.”
Massachusetts Democratic Gov. Maura Healey says that her state police will "absolutely not" be cooperating with the expected mass deportation effort by the incoming Trump administration, warning that she will use "every tool in the toolbox" to "protect" residents in the blue state.
One Agency Is Melting Down Over Trump's Win

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is reportedly a place of mourning. Donald Trump won the 2024 election, capping off the greatest political comeback in American history.
It’s over. Done. Trumpism is here to stay. The man has defeated the liberal media, the intelligence community, and the Justice Department, and they’re shell-shocked and stunned over this decisive win. Trump won 312 electoral votes and the popular vote. For the top brass at the J. Edgar Hoover Building, it’s likely the end of their tenure at the agency

Democrat Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s daughter, Hope, spoke out about the results of the presidential election, stating that the United States “does not deserve” Vice President Kamala Harris.
In a video posted to TikTok, Hope Walz, the eldest child of the Minnesota governor and former vice-presidential running mate of Harris, stated that Harris “should go live her best life” wherever she wanted, adding that the nation does not “deserve her at this point.”
Hope added that she was giving herself “the week to be sad and to mourn what could’ve been,” and “what should have been.”
The brass on the seventh floor at FBI headquarters in Washington are walking around in a daze and wary of a housecleaning since President-elect Donald Trump won his reelection on Tuesday, according to inside sources.
The Washington Times learned through several anonymous bureau sources that senior executives who run the agency were “stunned” and “shell-shocked” by Mr. Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris.
“You know the fit test? How they let the standards slack on the fit test?” the first FBI source said, referring to the agency’s physical fitness requirements. “Everyone’s going to have a real problem when they’re running for the door.”
