After the results from this week’s Presidential election shocked Democrats across the country, following months of being told by disingenuous polls that Kamala was leading or neck-and-neck with President Trump in each of the swing states, some have begun to call for audits and investigations. The proverbial shoe is now on the other foot.
While Kamala has conceded defeat to President Trump and Democrat politicians have remained relatively silent in these calls, constituents have had a different sentiment and have taken to social media to insist something is amiss.
The election official overseeing voting in Arizona's most populous county told a friend last year that he was interested in pursuing a Senate run 'to make life hell for Kari [Lake]', according to court documents seen by DailyMail.com.
As Maricopa County Recorder, Stephen Richer is in charge of the ballots that could decide whether Lake triumphs in her tight run for the Senate.
But the comments will raise questions from allies of the conservative firebrand about whether he can be trusted to run a fair election. The explosive words come from the transcript of a June 21 deposition that will be included in papers to be filed Friday

About Election Results: U.S. ‘Does Not
Deserve Kamala Harris’ replies
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.”
Tim Walz gave his first remarks since his and Kamala Harris' brutal 2024 presidential election defeat vowing to jump back in the fight for Minnesota as Donald Trump prepares to take power.
The Minnesota Governor broke his silence with a speech back in his home state surrounded by supporters. His wife Gwen gave a teary introduction before he took the stage.
‘I don’t know about you, but I’ve had a week,’ Walz started out by cracking a joke. Walz gained international prominence after Vice President Kamala Harris picked him as her running mate back in August.
The 60-year-old started out by thanking her

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) continued to work her way through the stages of grief following Vice President Kamala Harris’ election loss — this time blaming President Biden for not ending his bid for a second term earlier.
“Had the president gotten out sooner, there may have been other candidates in the race,” Pelosi (D-Calif.) told the New York Times in comments published Friday.
“The anticipation was that, if the president were to step aside, that there would be an open primary.”
A man who is apparently unhappy about President-elect Donald Trump’s victory said he is leaving America and relocating to Hawaii, a statement that has brought him all kinds of criticism.
MRC-TV on Friday highlighted the video showing the young man making his statement about fleeing the country.
“Okay, so since Trump won the election we’re cooked, yup!” he told viewers. “I’m gonna be leaving the U.S. and I’m gonna be moving to Hawaii. So, we’ll see how it goes and I’ll update you guys,” he added: [Tweet, video]
It was unclear whether he was being serious or making a parody video.
One of the alleged would-be assassins hired by Iran to kill Donald Trump is a self employed pipe fitter from Staten Island and convicted murderer.
Carlisle 'Pop' Rivera, 49, was arrested on Thursday and charged with conspiracy to murder the president-elect and Iranian activist Masih Alinejad.
Rivera's wife Margarita Vega did not answer the door at their two-storey home in Staten Island.Neighbors told DailyMail.com Rivera moved out with his wife and their son three months ago. They were shocked to learn of his alleged involvement.
The father-of-two was allegedly hired by Farjad Shakeri, 51, and roped in his friend Jonathon Loadholt, 36, who was arrested and charged alongside him.
A whistleblower has come forward with text messages revealing FEMA ordered relief workers to purposely skip over homes in Florida displaying Trump signs in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton.
According to internal messages obtained by The Daily Wire, FEMA discriminated against Trump supporters in need of help in the aftermath of the most recent hurricanes that passed through the Southeast.
Hurricanes Helene and Milton slammed into Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and other states in September and October.
Flooding and strong winds from the powerful storms caused a lot of damage in Florida and North Carolina.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — A federal judge on Friday overturned Illinois’ ban on semiautomatic weapons, leaning on recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings that strictly interpret the Second Amendment right to keep and bear firearms.
U.S. District Judge Stephen P. McGlynn, of the Southern District of Illinois, issued a permanent injunction he said applies universally, not just to the lawsuit’s plaintiffs. He decided, however, that the injunction would not take effect for 30 days.
Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul responded speedily, filing a notice of appeal Friday evening.
The Protect Illinois Communities Act, signed into law in January 2023 by Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker, took effect Jan. 1. It bans AR-15 rifles and similar guns,
PITTSBURGH and BETHLEHEM, Pa. — Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey is in denial after losing his race for a fourth term to Republican Senator-elect Dave McCormick, and clinging to a long-shot gamble that that outstanding ballots from Philadelphia can make up the roughly 36,000-votes he needs to win.
The Casey team is banking on an increasingly narrow strategy of relying on outstanding provisional and military ballots from the City of Brotherly Love. That plan prompted McCormick’s campaign to sue the Philadelphia County Board of Elections to ensure that at least one Republican observes the vote-counting process and that their campaign can challenge provisional ballots in bulk, rather than individually.
Even before the US polls opened Tuesday, a vanguard of immigrants at least 5,000 strong set out on a long march from deep southern Mexico to the US southern border.
The purpose: to test whether new Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum will use the military to stop them now that the American election is over.
No less at stake in this fresh northward moving caravan challenge is whether hundreds of thousands more pooled up behind them in southern Mexico — with thousands more a day crossing into Mexico from Guatemala — will observe an unimpeded passage for this vanguard
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.
You live, you learn.
Finger-pointing has erupted over the Kamala Harris campaign blowing up to $20 million on swing-state concerts Monday night, hours before the VP’s spectacular election loss to Donald Trump — prompting concern that everyday staff and vendors won’t get paid amid reports the campaign is in debt by the same amount.
Members of the defeated Harris team tell The Post that the concerts had a ruinous effect on the Democratic campaign’s coffers and that fact was no secret — with one planned performance by ’90s alt-rock goddess Alanis Morissette getting scrapped to save money.

from Donald Trump replies
Donald Trump really has their number.
Steaming mad students at California’s Pomona College are having a meltdown over one unusual aspect of the president elect’s decisive win in the 2024 election — the number 47.
One alumni of the liberal-leaning school wrote a screed in the student newspaper claiming ownership of the “sacred number,” which they emblazon on signs and stickers as a good luck charm because of its connection to the institution’s history, according to the LA Times.
They complain that Trump has demeaned the digits in their eyes by becoming the 47th president.
“It feels like Trump and his followers have appropriated my favorite number,” wrote Hugo Martin for the outlet.
Brace yourself, America – the fight for the future of this country has begun.
In the 48 hours since President-elect Donald Trump delivered a schoolyard booty stomp to Wokeistan, one thing has become frighteningly clear: Despite unequivocal evidence of an outright MAGA romp (an electoral college avalanche, a rare Republican popular vote victory and a likely GOP-controlled Congress) left-wing lunatics are still clinging to their oat-milk latte delusions like Joe Biden to a baby's foot on Halloween.
To the progressively deranged – they may have lost the election night battle, but the war is still raging. And with Donald 'Hitler/Mussolini/Stalin/Lex Luthor' Trump in the White House,
CNN’s Dana Bash appeared stunned as Senator-elect Jim Banks (R-IN) said Republicans will secure the border and carry out a mass deportation operation of illegal aliens, as they promised and the American people voted for.
Banks, who is finishing out his term as a U.S. congressman before moving to the Upper Chamber in January, predicted at the top of the segment on CNN’s Inside Politics that Trump would carry out executive actions on day one to secure the border. “One of the top issues in your campaign was immigration and the border. What is the first thing that you want the president-elect to do?” Bash asked.
Banks responded:
Judge Tanya Chutkan canceled all deadlines and ongoing proceedings in the Biden-Harris Department of Justice (DOJ)’s election interference case against President-elect Donald Trump after a request from special counsel Jack Smith.
Smith’s concession is a remarkable symbolic moment for Trump, who has faced multiple lawsuits as he sought to return to the White House.Trump’s victory against Vice President Kamala Harris essentially ended Smith’s hopes of convicting the former president. DOJ policy generally prohibits prosecutions of sitting presidents, and Smith’s case was set to drag on well into 2025 after hitting multiple roadblocks.

FEMA is supposedly constituted to provide help to Americans in the event of disaster, natural or man-made. They are funded and their personnel are paid by taxpayer dollars, which one would think that fact alone should ensure that said help would be provided without condition or qualification.
Unless, of course, a disaster victim has a Trump sign on their house. It seems that a FEMA supervisor in charge of the recovery workers in Lake Placid, Florida, ordered them as a "best practice" to skip houses with Trump signs, per a Daily Wire exclusive:
A federal disaster relief official ordered workers to bypass the homes of Donald Trump’s supporters as they surveyed damage
A Chinese citizen who tried to enter Mar-a-Lago, the Florida residence of President-elect Trump, multiple times over the past few months was arrested Thursday, authorities said.
It was one of multiple attempts by Zijie Li, 39, to enter the Palm Beach club in an effort to speak with Trump, according to an arrest affidavit.
He faces a second trespass charge after being issued a warning, in addition to a pending charge he received in July. He is being held in the Palm Beach County Main Detention Center on $100,000 bail, according to jail records.
"The Palm Beach Police Department, in speaking with the United States Secret Service,
As Jan. 6 defendants anticipate pardons from President-elect Donald Trump, there are indications that the FBI is winding down any further investigations of the attack on the Capitol in 2021.
According to sources at the FBI, Jan. 6 cases still being investigated “are dead.” “They’re not going anywhere. They’re dead. They’re going to be closed, because they still have some in the pipeline,” an FBI source said. “Basically, right now, everyone [is asking], ’Why the hell are you prosecuting?” another Bureau source said. “They’re all going to be pardoned anyway, so it’s an informal shutdown.”
If there’s one thing that brings me joy, it’s watching a liberal’s worldview burn to ash. These people are overeducated, detached, and just had their world rocked because deductive reasoning is now lost among this cohort. It’s astonishing to watch: the kneejerk reaction from the media’s left-wing darlings is to wish ill upon those who didn’t vote for you. These reactions and sentiments partially contributed to Trump’s win on Tuesday night. [Tweets, videos]
One thing that seems to floor the Left is Trump’s strong sowing with Latino voters, especially Hispanic men. It also led to liberal America’s latent racism over this group bubble to the surface.
All through the early morning hours on Wednesday, Nov. 6, Trump supporters were wondering darkly if it would be the 2020 election all over again: a water main would break somewhere, and Donald Trump’s solid lead would suddenly vanish with the arrival of trucks full of fake Kamala Harris ballots. That didn’t end up happening, but that doesn’t mean that electoral shenanigans and just plain inexplicable incidents are a thing of the past. Decision Desk HQ proved that on Friday afternoon by taking a million votes away from Donald Trump’s popular vote total.
Yes, of course, ballots are still being counted out there.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in an upcoming interview with The New York Times, chimed in on the 2024 presidential race and expressed regrets on how Democrats handled the campaign.
During the conversation, Pelosi criticized the timing of President Joe Biden’s decision to drop out of the Democratic primary race. She suggested that if he had exited the contest earlier, it would have allowed for a more competitive and open primary process to replace him. This would have provided Democratic voters with actual options to choose from.
"Had the president gotten out sooner, there may have been other candidates in the race,” Pelosi said,
Leftists the world over are in tears and hysterics over Donald Trump’s historic victory on Tuesday, but nowhere are they more desolate and depressed these days than on America’s college and university campuses. Students are at an age when passions run high, and as our institutions of higher learning are now little more than indoctrination centers for Antifa, it’s understandable that the mood on campus these days is more than a little dark.
College and university administrators and professors, however, are only making matters worse by pandering to the students’ ridiculous grief, and even encouraging it, rather than reminding them that life is tough
With President Donald Trump's big win on Tuesday, there's a lot of talk now about a mandate from the people.
He so decisively beat Kamala Harris, you don't even hear them talking at this point about any means of contesting the election. It remains to be seen if they try any funny business between now and Jan. 20, 2025. But the American people made the saying "too big to rig" come true with how big the win was.
It defied the ridiculous estimations by things like the Selzer poll that suggested Trump was going to lose Iowa. But not only
As of this writing on Friday, Donald Trump’s popular vote total stood at 74,269,316. By the time you see this article and click on that link, however, that total is certain to be higher. Trump’s final popular vote total has now exceeded his official 2020 total of 74,225,926. Kamala Harris, meanwhile, has 68,800,347 popular votes, a steep decline from Old Joe Biden’s 2020 total of 81,286,454.
As Victoria Taft noted here, that raises a lot of uncomfortable questions about what exactly happened in 2020. Yet apparently oblivious to self-incrimination, even some leftists are asking what is going on — and, of course, blaming Trump.
Anne Frank famously kept a diary describing her life as a Jewish girl during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. She and her family lived in a concealed room behind a bookcase for two years.
The Nazis eventually discovered the family and sent them to concentration camps including Auschwitz. She died in Bergen-Belsen at age 15.
Anne’s father, Otto, was the only one of the family to survive the Holocaust. He was instrumental in publishing his daughter’s diary after the war.
The rest is history.
Key to Anne’s survival were the efforts of Otto’s secretary, a Catholic woman named Miep Gies.

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
A plumber’s truck exploded on a quiet residential street in Queens Friday morning – damaging several homes and nearby cars, according to fire officials and sources.

Hours after former President Donald Trump was declared the winner of the 2024 election, the Biden administration moved Wednesday to limit oil drilling in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Oil drilling had been banned for decades in the Arctic refuge — a pristine natural region in northeast Alaska home to a wide range of threatened species. But a law passed during the first Trump administration required the federal government to hold two lease sales there for fossil fuel drilling. The first was in 2021 and was ultimately suspended and canceled by the Interior Department because of the lack of interest from the oil industry.
It’s Friday, and they are still counting votes in Arizona, Nevada, and California. And the longer this inexplicable madness goes on, the less anyone should trust the results.
Almost 11 million Americans cast their votes in Florida on Tuesday. The Sunshine State finished counting within a few hours. If the idiots who run Arizona’s elections ever do decide to finish counting, we’re talking at most about 3.5 million total votes. The people who ride the short bus to count votes in Nevada probably won’t hit 1.5 million total votes.
Sure, California has millions more voters than Florida, but we are talking about California, progressive California, the home of Silicon Valley.
An Iranian government plot to hire hitmen to assassinate Donald Trump was thwarted just a month before the election, chilling documents unsealed Friday reveal.
Three men, two who reside in New York, have been charged in the murder-for-hire scheme to take down the president-elect - who has survived two plots on his life in recent months - as revenge for the 2020 killing of Iranian military leader Qassem Soleimani.
One of the would-be assassins, Farhad Shakeri, has been described by the FBI as an 'asset' of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and is now on the run in Tehran.
Democrats should be doing some serious soul searching and reflecting on why a majority of American voters rejected Kamala Harris and other Democratic candidates on Tuesday, and I'm sure some of them are doing just that. There are also some on the left, however, who can't seem to face up to reality quite yet. (X Video) There are just a few problems with Bakari Sellers' idea.
First, there's not an opening on the Supreme Court at the moment, so Biden would have to convince one of the three progressives on the Court to step down. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was just appointed two years ago, so she's not going anywhere.
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.
Federal lawfare is indeed winding down, as we discussed earlier this week.
Judge Tanya Chutkan, the Obama appointee who is presiding over the 2020 election interference case against President-elect Trump, issued a brief order on the docket today, vacating all proceedings scheduled in the case, including any briefing on pending issues. She ordered that on or before December 2, 2024, Biden-Harris DOJ special counsel Jack Smith must file “a status report indicating [the government’s] proposed course for this case going forward.”
The course for the case is to dismiss it
There was one supervillain in the story of the 2024 campaign that almost surpassed Donald Trump -- Elon Musk.
From the minute he bought Twitter in 2022, the leftists who aspire to complete messaging control were furious. They knew their 2020 jig was up, that they couldn't just suppress damaging stories like the Hunter Biden laptop. Reporters like Cleve Wootson of The Washington Post complained in the White House briefing that "misinformation on Twitter is not just a campaign issue ... it's an America issue." Post columnists call it a "mind-polluting app."
Tech tycoon Elon Musk joined a call between US President-elect Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky the day after the presidential election, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.
The source spoke to CNN on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the conversation.
Zelensky previously said on X that he called Trump on Wednesday and congratulated him on “his historic landslide” win. “We agreed to maintain close dialogue and advance our cooperation. Strong and unwavering US leadership is vital for the world and for a just peace,” Zelensky wrote at the time.

A federal judge on Thursday struck down a Biden administration program that would have granted legal status to hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants.
U.S. District Judge John Campbell Barker ruled that President Joe Biden’s “parole in place” program was illegal after it was challenged by a coalition of Republican attorneys general. The program was rolled out in June and created a pathway for legal status for illegal immigrants married to American citizens and illegal immigrant stepchildren of American citizens.
Barker ruled that DHS lacked “statutory authority under” the law to grant parole to illegal immigrants.

Do you remember how Michael Cohen, former personal attorney to Donald Trump, revealed back in September on MSNBC’s “Deadline: White House” that he was planning to leave the country and even change his name if Donald Trump won the 2024 election?
"What do you think happens to you if he wins?” MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace asked Trump's former lawyer.
"Well, I'm out of here," he told her. "I mean, I'm already working on a foreign passport with a completely different name. I don't know how it's going to work as far as dealing with my wife and my children. I certainly don't want them moving to where I'm looking to go," he added.
Well ... perhaps a few, but so far they seem to be mainly in the Democrat wilderness. One person who nails the problem -- and even part of the solution -- is Julie Roginsky, a Democrat strategist and CNN contributor. Immediately after Joe Biden's valediction at the White House. CNN anchor Pamela Brown tried to throw it to Roginsky by framing Biden's speech as a way to defend himself from finger-pointing over his decision to run for a second term.
Roginsky rejected the premise, and indeed that any one person in the Democrat Party should get the blame for the electoral disaster. The whole party has gone off the rails,
Donald Trump has beefed up his security detail at Mar-a-Lago with a Secret Service robot dog — with photos showing the four-legged sentry patrolling the sprawling Florida property.
The robotic hound was seen mechanically strolling on the grass among the palm trees outside the Palm Beach estate Friday morning, video shows.
“DO NOT PET” reads a large warning on its side.
The remote-controlled robot dog, made by Boston Dynamics, is with the United States Secret Service, the agency confirmed.
An Atlantic staff writer and biographer of President Biden, Franklin Foer, wrote a searing indictment of Biden following Vice President Kamala Harris’ loss to President-elect Donald Trump earlier this week, saying her loss is Biden’s “legacy.”
Foer, who wrote the 2023 book “The Last Politician: Inside Joe Biden’s White House and the Struggle for America’s Future,” argued that Harris’ failure is his own, and he might feel it more than she will.
“Joe Biden cannot escape the fact that his four years in office paved the way for the return of Donald Trump. This is his legacy. Everything else is an asterisk,” Foer wrote in an Atlantic article published Thursday.
Burdened by What Will Be

Another crushing defeat at the hands of Donald Trump has most Democrats reflecting on “why?” instead of contemplating “what now?” The electoral limits of a purely anti-Trump campaign have been exhausted, and Democrats ought to begin laying the groundwork for a new political identity if they wish to remain competitive on the national stage moving forward. Their path only gets harder. Much harder.
According to the American Redistricting Project’s 2030 census projections, Republican-leaning states are set to gain 13 Electoral College votes while Democratic states are slated to lose twelve (setting Pennsylvania, −1, aside as a truly purple one). Places like Texas (+4) and Florida (+3) are experiencing population surges

The Iranian government instructed one of its agents to stalk and assassinate former President Donald Trump this past September, according to a bombshell indictment unsealed by Manhattan federal prosecutors Friday.
According to the indictment, which charges Iranian Farhad Shakeri and two New Yorkers with murder for hire and conspiracy, an unnamed official in Iran’s notorious Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) instructed Shakeri to “focus on surveilling, and, ultimately, assassinating, former President of the United States, Donald J. Trump” in the final weeks of the 2024 campaign.
Prosecutors say that when Shakeri noted that the plot would “cost a ‘huge’ amount of money,”
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.
Lots of people are sharing this video as if it were just released, but it actually has been on his campaign website for over a year.
That doesn't make it any less interesting, though. I had never seen it, and having been drawn in by the clickbait, it turns out that the video and plan are AWESOME. Who cares if Trump released it today or a year ago? This is what must be done. Donald Trump’s plan to dismantle the Deep State.
1. “Immediately reissue my 2020 executive order, restoring the President's authority to remove rogue bureaucrats.”
2. “Clean out all of the corrupt actors in our national security and intelligence apparatus.
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.

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.”
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
The soon-to-be 47th President of the United States’ connection to the NFL just got a little bit deeper.
President-elect Donald Trump named Susie Wiles his chief of staff on Thursday for when he takes the Oval Office in January after she helped lead Trump’s campaign to victory over Vice President Kamala Harris on Election Day.
Wiles’ appointment means that Trump’s administration can count the daughter of legendary NFL broadcast Pat Summerall among its ranks. Summerall was a household name for football fans for decades, having called 16 Super Bowls and being part of the broadcast duo alongside another football legend, John Madden.
With Donald Trump's landslide victory in the rear-view mirror, the recriminations among Democrats have begun. That's the great thing about the transition period. It's uniquely enjoyable in that the victors aren't in power yet and thus can't be blamed for anything, but the losers fight it out over who was at fault. Grab your popcorn because things are going to get spicy. Before we get to the quotes, though, it's important to lay out the battle lines. To do that, you only have to understand one thing: The Joe Biden camp has always hated the Kamala Harris camp.
In Pennsylvania, the handwringing and recriminations started almost as soon as the essential 2024 battleground state was called for Donald Trump.
How did Philadelphia, the Democratic bulwark, deliver such an anemic margin for Kamala Harris? What explains the bellwether counties that Donald Trump wrested back after Joe Biden flipped them to the Democratic Party? And what happened in rural Pennsylvania, where the Harris campaign made an effort to show the flag and yet still lost 30 of the state’s 67 counties by more than 40 points?
San Francisco Mayor London Breed lost her re-election bid Thursday night to Levi Strauss heir Daniel Lurie following years in which the liberal city struggled with sky-high crime and deteriorating quality of life.
Breed, whose tenure began in 2017, said she called Lurie, a venture capitalist, to concede the election two days after voters went to the polls in the rank-choice election.
“Being Mayor of San Francisco has been the greatest honor of my lifetime. I’m beyond grateful to our residents for the opportunity to serve the City that raised me,” she said in a statement.
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.”
She was doing well and then fell apart. CNN’s Elle Reeve did a nice job explaining how President-elect Donald Trump’s campaign reached male voters, including how the podcast strategy of going on Joe Rogan and Theo Vaughn was very effective. Meanwhile, Democrats keep pushing ideas and policies that are viewed as too rigid and see media outlets, like CNN, as part of that system. “Of course, we don’t see it that way,” she said regarding CNN being viewed as part of the Democrat media complex.

Kamalish (kah-MOLL-ish) verb, to politically self-destruct from within. Rhymes with demolish. Earliest use, c. 2024.
Democrats didn’t just lose an election, they lost a political party, the world’s oldest. Founded in 1828, Democrats will sow chaos no more. The Civil War’s perpetrators have finally come undone.
Two factors will contribute to the party’s rapid disappearance on the national level. Without control of the presidency and Congress, many Democrats will retire when their terms end, a process already underway. Once in the minority, their ability to demand kickbacks vanishes.
A glum-looking Nancy Pelosi avoided The Post’s questions Wednesday about her role in swapping in Kamala Harris for President Biden as the 2024 Democratic nominee — after getting in a tense discussion with ex-Democratic National Committee chair Donna Brazile ahead of the vice president’s concession speech at Howard University.
“Do you think it was a mistake to kick Joe Biden off the ballot?” The Post inquired as the former House speaker left the event.
The 84-year-old Pelosi, who was elected Tuesday to a 20th term representing her San Francisco-based district in the House, ignored all inquiries — including one about whether she expected to run again in 2026.
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,
Democrats are directing their rage over losing the presidential race at Joe Biden, who they blame for setting up Kamala Harris for failure by not dropping out sooner. They say his advancing age, questions over his mental acuity and deep unpopularity put Democrats at a sharp disadvantage. They are livid that they were forced to embrace a candidate who voters had made clear they did not want — and then stayed in the race long after it was clear he couldn’t win. (Snip) According to interviews with nearly a dozen officials and party operatives, Biden squandered valuable months only to
After the steal, I said learn to ballot harvest.
Republicans did.
They did their ballot harvesting legally and in front of the entire world. There were no midnight dumps of ballots from California into unattended ballot boxes. Vote tabulations did not suddenly change in the wee hours of the morning. Republicans read the rules, learned the rules and applied the rules in new ways.
Trump urged voters to vote early — to bank their votes as they say. Republican voters did. According to the New York Times, in 9 states more than half the ballots cast were cast before Election Day either by mail or in-person.
Mayor Eric Adams is ending his administration’s controversial program supplying migrants in city shelters with prepaid debit cards to pay for groceries.
The pilot program distributed the preloaded Mastercards to asylum seekers at hotels-turned-shelters with a family of four receiving about $350 a week to cover the cost of groceries and baby supplies.
The city hired New Jersey-based tech startup, Mobility Capital Finance, in a $53 million one-year “emergency” contract that drew backlash when the city failed to conduct a typical bidding process before picking the company.
But with the one year up shortly, the Adams administration decided against renewing the contract,
Sharia tenets – which have views of human rights, justice, mercy and compassion that differ from those of the West -- can appear alien to Judeo-Christian precepts. Sharia, in usage, often appears to contravene the basic humanistic values of the West.
The outcome is that, in application, the moral laws of each tradition -- that of the Torah as opposed to that of Sharia -- which prescribes harsh punishments, such as amputation for theft; death for leaving Islam (apostasy) or blasphemy, or being stoned to death for adultery, which can include having been raped -- are consequences inimical to Western ideas of justice, mercy and human rights.
President-elect Donald Trump announced his plans to completely dismantle the Deep State and return the power to the American people.
Trump wasted no time between defeating failed Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris and getting to work on fulfilling his promises before he called for a crackdown on the district of corruption. In arguably one of the most critical first announcements Trump has made as president-elect, he vowed to immediately reissue the 2020 executive order to restore the president’s authority to remove “rogue bureaucrats aggressively.”
One of the added bonuses of the 2024 election is that the never-Trump grifter class is basically out of work now.
The Lincoln Project, the Bulwark, Bill Kristol, all of them may have to go out and finally get real jobs. These guys took millions upon millions of dollars from people based solely on their hatred of Trump and what did they get for it? Nothing.
On CNN, Scott Jennings, the lone conservative on the network, took these guys out after Trump was declared the winner.

New York City is ending its controversial scheme that gave migrant families prepaid debit cards worth a total of $18,500 each.
City Hall made the announcement Thursday, as Mayor Eric Adams has finally listened to critics of the Big Apple's migrant policies and Adams himself has become friendlier with Donald Trump, who plans massive reforms to the immigration system.
William Fowler, a spokesperson for City Hall, says the program will expire at the end of the year after handing out a total of $3.2 million in cash value for 2,600 families to buy necessities.
Scott Jennings remains a national treasure on CNN. At the same time, it’s becoming clear that he might either get booted or not re-signed because he’s simply too good at smacking down liberal nonsense, and he does so with such ease that it causes the many panels he’s on to devolve into mayhem. In a testy exchange with The Washington Post’s Catherine Rampell, Jennings wouldn’t accept, nor should anyone, the cuckoo narrative that liberals are peddling concerning how Donald Trump is going to use the Department of Justice to go after his political opponents. She even had the gall to say that Jennings was overly optimistic or naïve
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.
A federal judge has struck down a Biden administration program for illegal aliens who are married to US citizens. In a three-paragraph decision, Federal District Judge for the Eastern District of Texas J. Campbell Barker (a Trump appointee, and yes, that does make a difference) ruled that the program the administration rolled out in June 2024 "lack statuary authority under 8 U. S. C. § 11821(d)(5)(A) itself (as opposed to under other provisions modifying or supplementing that authority) to grant parole "in place" to aliens" under the benign-sounding "Keeping Families Together" program.
The "Keeping Families Program" was challenged by Texas and a coalition of 15 other states soon after its announcement,
Failed Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris lost running mate Tim Walz’s home county in rural Minnesota to Donald Trump, a defeat that will intensify criticism of her decision to run alongside Minnesota’s progressive governor.
Trump won Minnesota’s Blue Earth County 49.6 percent to 48.3 percent, a 5.7 percent shift rightward from four years ago, despite Walz having lived there for two decades and launching his political career in the area.
Overall, Harris won Minnesota 51.1 percent to 46.8 percent, an underwhelming performance in a state that gave President Joe Biden 52.4 percent of the vote four years ago compared to Trump’s 45.3 percent. By the time Minnesota was called
