Rasmussen Reports Completely Vindicated
by 2024 Election Results
Posted By: FlyRight, 11/9/2024 8:12:35 AM
During this election, many of us on both sides were obsessed with polls, betting markets, rally sizes, and any sort of tea leaves we could read to gauge where this election stood. In my extensive coverage of the polls this year, one thing that stood out was how the left refused to accept the results of polling that didn't tell them what they wanted to hear. This happens on both sides, but from what I could see, if people on the right thought a poll was suspicious, they would look at the crosstabs and tell you why it was wrong.

Hamas Must Be Defeated, Not Legitimized
8 replies
Hamas should not be permitted to play any role in the Gaza Strip after the war. This would allow the terror group to rearm and regroup and prepare for another October 7-style attack on Israel.
By negotiating with Hamas about the future of the Gaza Strip, Abbas is legitimizing the Iran-backed terror group and sending a message to the Palestinians and the rest of the world that he sees no problem with dealing with murderers and terrorists who committed the most horrific crimes... As we have seen most recently in the Chinese Communist Party, Iran and Afghanistan, negotiating with terrorists and their equivalents simply does not work.

climate pact, open some national monuments
to drilling: report 8 replies
President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team has prepared executive orders and proclamations that would withdraw the US from the Paris climate agreement and open up western lands for drilling and mining, according to a report.
Trump’s energy and environment transition team – tasked with drafting these actions – includes his former Department of the Interior Secretary David Bernhardt and former Environmental Protection Agency administrator Andrew Wheeler, the New York Times reported on Friday.
Trump, 78, pulled the US out of the Paris accord early in his first term,
Democrats are worried America elected former President Donald Trump at his worst. Republicans are celebrating that Trump is at his best.
Eight years after the Manhattan real estate mogul and reality television star shocked the world with a triumphant victory over Hillary Clinton, Trump will reclaim the White House as a veteran politician with a full term behind him. “Figures who once hoped to act as stabilizing forces — including a string of chiefs of staff, defense secretaries, a national security adviser, a national intelligence adviser and an attorney general — have abandoned Trump, leaving behind recriminations about his character and abilities,” CNN reported.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., pointed the finger at President Biden for not dropping out of the race earlier in an election post-mortem with The New York Times on Thursday. Pelosi told host Lulu Garcia-Navarro on the Times' "The Interview" podcast, "Had the president gotten out sooner, there may have been other candidates in the race." As the former speaker told it, "The anticipation was that, if the president were to step aside, that there would be an open primary." Pelosi had been a key player in pushing Biden out after his infamous debate performance.
Elon Succeeded Where FEMA Failed

Robby Starbuck, a right-wing activist who loves to troll the left, lives on a 12-acre farm in Tennessee, about four hours from the area that Hurricane Helene ravaged last week. After the storm hit southern Appalachia, a friend told him that hurricane victims were struggling to connect with the outside world.
“So many people were worried that their family members might have died and they couldn’t get in touch,” Starbuck told The Free Press. The hurricane has been the worst since Katrina in 2005, with 230 deaths so far, and damages estimated between $30 billion and $47 billion.
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.
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.
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,
Islamism, the West and Human Rights
9 replies
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.
Trump’s Electrifying, World-Changing Victory

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,

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.”

Ella Emhoff appears to be losing her mind over her stepmother’s loss to Donald Trump in the presidential election.
Emhoff, 25, was photographed sobbing on the sidelines while Vice President Harris delivered her concession speech at Howard University on Wednesday.
Less than 24 hours later, the lefty activist daughter of second gentleman Doug Emhoff posted one of the unflattering images of her crying during the speech to her Instagram story, along with the caption, “Truly no words. We are all going to get through this. It just f–king hurts like a #@#$ right now and that’s ok.
Ella Emhoff has opened up about her mental health woes in a vulnerable post to Instagram.
The activist and fashion designer, 25, had appeared distraught on Wednesday after her stepmother Kamala Harris' presidential bid came to a heartbreaking end.
Ella shared an image of herself looking devastated as she openly cried alongside campaign staffers and family members.On Saturday she published a curse-laden post on Instagram. The outburst seems to have been prompted by a widely circulated post on X which spread cruel rumors suggesting she had checked into an in-patient mental health facility.
The rumor has since been debunked as fake news with Ella setting the record straight for herself.
Amid the stunning revelation that Kamala Harris’ unsuccessful presidential campaign ended up $20 million in the red, despite raising $1 billion from donors, a new report has found that the rock concerts that her campaign staged on the night before the election — featuring Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and others — collectively cost around that same amount, up to $20 million. Now vendors and others who worked on those concerts, which were meant to persuade “low-propensity voters” to turn out for Harris, are reportedly facing the prospect of unpaid invoices.
In the late 1940s, Supreme Court Justice Hugo L. Black, in the case of Everson v. United States, took a quote from a letter written by Thomas Jefferson out of context and insisted that the wall of separation between church and state “should be high and impregnable.”
Despite some variability, this position became the basis for the Court’s interpretation of the separation of church and state which led to the banning of prayer and Bible reading in the public schools at the beginning of the 1960s.
Separation of church and state means (1) that taxes should not be used to support an official national church (denomination) of Christianity,

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.”
Thune, Cornyn or Scott?

REPOST BY REQUEST: I say gently, don’t look for President Trump to expend valuable political capital on this.
Senator John Thune has been groomed by Mitch McConnell to be his replacement for decades. Thune’s ascension to the role of Senate Majority Leader was, maybe is, essentially a foregone conclusion.
Senator Thune will carry the full support of roughly 15-to-20 senate DeceptiCons (deceptive conservatives), and perhaps a dozen more squishy ones in the middle who want great committee positions. The important dynamic that comes into play is Senate Committee Chairman “leverage” for Donald Trump’s nominees.
Former communications director for Vice President Kamala Harris, Jamal Simmons, surprised a CNN panel Sunday by suggesting President Biden step down to allow Harris to serve as the first female president. Joe Biden’s been a phenomenal president, he’s lived up to so many of the promises he’s made. There’s one promise left that he could fulfill, being a transitional figure," Simmons said on CNN’s "State of the Union." "He could resign the presidency in the next 30 days, make Kamala Harris President of the United States—"
George Clooney feels he is being used as a ‘scapegoat’ in the furious blame game over who could have cost Kamala Harris the election – and will now take a step back from politics.
The Hollywood star, 63, threw his support behind Harris after penning a blistering op-ed on why Joe Biden would cost the Democrats the win if he didn’t abandon his campaign, but it still wasn’t enough to prevent an historic victory for Donald Trump.
Clooney has since been criticized by Democrats for his influence during the election, with some claiming Harris' loss was his fault.
FEMA official Marn’i Washington ordered her staff to avoid assisting homes with Trump flags in their yards following the aftermath of a recent hurricane in Florida. Marn’i wanted them to suffer for their support for Donald Trump.
A whistleblower came forward with text messages revealing FEMA official Marn’i Washington 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
Arizona Senate Race Finally Decided
24 replies
Four days after Election Day 2024, a winner has finally been projected in the Arizona senate race. Democrat Ruben Gallego narrowly defeated Republican Kari Lake, according to Decision Desk HQ, and will fill the seat currently held by Independent Kyrsten Sinema. The race was tight. As of 10:35 p.m. on Saturday night, with 88% of precincts reporting, Gallego had 49.7% of the vote, compared to Lake's 48.2%. Independent Eduardo Quintana, who is a member of the Green Party, earned 2.1%.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency supervisor accused of ordering her subordinates to skip Florida homes with Trump campaign signs has been fired.
Marn’i Washington was sacked for telling disaster relief workers in Lake Placid, Fla., to “not go to homes with yard signs supporting President-elect Trump,” FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell said Saturday.
“This is a clear violation of FEMA’s core values and principles to help people regardless of their political affiliation,” she said, adding, “This employee has been terminated and we have referred the matter to the Office of Special Counsel.
“I will continue to do everything I can to make sure this never happens again.
