Trump Landslide Victory
Posted By: Imright, 11/14/2024 4:14:41 PM
Two federal judges postponed trials for January 6 defendants on Thursday after Trump won the 2024 presidential election in a landslide. Judges Carl Nichols, a Trump appointee and Rudolph Contreras, an Obama appointee, delayed the trials because they don’t want to use resources if Trump is going to pardon J6ers as promised. According to the Justice Department, approximately 944 January 6 defendants – mostly peaceful first-time offenders – have received sentences for their activity at the US Capitol.

The Pentagon has released a new report on UFOs that revealed hundreds of documented incidents of unidentified and unexplained aerial phenomena (UAPs).
While there is no evidence to suggest that these UAPs - the government's term for UFOs - are of extraterrestrial origin, some defy explanation, including a near-miss between a commercial airliner and a mysterious object off the coast of New York.
The report comes as public interest in UAPs has skyrocketed, prompting the US government to work to provide some answers about these strange objects.
Legacy media network, CNN, suffered its worst rating in a key demographic for the first time in a quarter of a century as employees fear more layoffs are coming.
A critical demographic for network news channels are those aged 25 to 54, and on Tuesday - a week after the 2024 presidential election - CNN averaged 61,000 viewers in that range.
It was the smallest of audience viewers in that demographic since June 27, 2000, when Bill Clinton was in the White House.

The stunning victory of Donald Trump has establishment media desperately reassessing their “Abandon all principles to elect Democrats” strategy.
It’s a start.
ABC News, which tried to rig the presidential debate it hosted by fact-checking Trump while repeatedly letting Kamala Harris slide, is in panic mode post-Nov. 5. (Photo) Top brass are trying to bring in more conservative voices — and action item No. 1 is to balance out the lefty insanity spouted by hosts on its popular daytime show “The View.”
These include Whoopi Goldberg blaming inflation on grocery store owners, whom she called “pigs,” and woke racist Sunny Hostin telling people to cut off loved ones if they
Matt Gaetz, Donald Trump's controversial pick to lead the Justice Department, could become the attorney general without a Senate confirmation vote through a little-known clause in the Constitution.
In order to become a confirmed Cabinet official, a nominee must receive support from the majority of senators during a floor vote usually following a hearing.
But Trump declared on Truth Social that he wants to use the 'recess appointment' process in order to get his Cabinet picks into office more quickly.
Former President and President-elect Donald Trump made inroads across several demographics, including young voters, and some are revealing why they opted to cast their ballot for Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
Many young men and women ditched the Democrat Party, ultimately supporting Trump’s America First agenda. There has been much speculation on what, specifically, drew younger voters to the Trump-Vance ticket this time around — from Trump choosing Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), a millennial, as his running mate to the campaign’s embrace of alternative media, attracting younger audiences with appearances on popular podcasts such as Theo Von’s and of course, Joe Rogan’s.
President-elect Donald Trump tapped a longtime ally for his cabinet Thursday, nominating former congressman Doug Collins to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs.
A Navy veteran and Air Force Reserve chaplain, Collins, 58, represented rural northern Georgia for eight years before retiring from Congress following an unsuccessful 2020 campaign for the US Senate. He also aided in Trump’s efforts to challenge the 2020 election results in the Peach State.
“We must take care of our brave men and women in uniform,” Trump, 78, said in a statement, “and Doug will be a great advocate for our Active Duty Servicemembers, Veterans, and Military Families to ensure they have the support they need.”

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by X owner and Tesla CEO Elon Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, is looking for what they described as “small-government revolutionaries” ready to work on what they described as “unglamorous cost-cutting.”
“We are very grateful to the thousands of Americans who have expressed interest in helping us at DOGE,” they wrote on X.“We don’t need more part-time idea generators. We need super high-IQ small-government revolutionaries willing to work 80+ hours per week on unglamorous cost-cutting,” DOGE continued, calling on those individuals to DM them their CV and promising that “Elon & Vivek will review the top 1% of applicants”:
A Los Angeles County, California, high school teacher is reportedly under fire for storming out of her classroom at the sight of a student wearing a “Make America Great Again” shirt last week.
In an email sent later to students, obtained by the Daily Mail, the teacher said it is unfair for one group to be able to espouse “racist, misogynistic, antisemite, and homophobic” views: (X) Complaining that teachers “are NOT allowed to express their political views,” she went on to decry the “MAGA shirts” that “represent a deep hatred of minorities, women, non-christian, and LGBTQ+.” According to the teacher, wearing merchandise supporting President-elect Donald Trump is “a HATE crime
ABC News is in “panic mode” to hire some Donald Trump supporters for The View and other ABC News programming.
This will never happen, at least not on The View, but the New York Post has been told that “ABC News brass are in ‘panic mode’ as they hunt for conservative voices to balance the rabid anti-Trump rhetoric spewed by the hosts on The View, as well as those on other shows.” After “last week’s rout by the former president,” the report continues, ABC News executives had “intense sit-downs with executive producers of the network’s various shows and other senior editorial leaders.” “First on the agenda,
President-elect Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk took the stage at Mar-a-Lago on Wednesday night to perform a rendition of 'God Bless America' alongside opera singer Christopher Macchio. The event took place as Musk joined Trump and other supporters for election night celebrations. The duo's impromptu duet quickly gained traction on social media after being shared by Trump's aide, Margo Martin. Notably, the performance came just a day after Trump announced Elon Musk's new role leading the Department of Government Efficiency in his administration, alongside Vivek Ramaswamy.
Under fire from critics including her hometown Chicago newspaper, Oprah Winfrey is now seeking to explain the $1 million fee paid to her production company for a town hall event supporting Kamala Harris.
Before the election, Winfrey's Harpo Productions helped stage a star-studded town hall event for the vice president in Michigan as the billionaire entertainment mogul enthusiastically endorsed Harris to be the next president of the United States.
The Harris campaign footed the bill for organizing the town hall and made a $1 million payment to Winfrey's production company, Harpo Productions.

Eva Longoria says she’s anxious and nervous for Americans who can’t “escape” their “dystopian country” following President-elect Trump’s White House win.
“The shocking part is not that he won,” Longoria told Marie Claire in an interview for its November cover story conducted two days after Trump triumphed in the presidential race.
“It’s that a convicted criminal who spews so much hate could hold the highest office,” said Longoria, who campaigned for Vice President Harris and spoke at the Democratic National Convention in August.

Nikki Haley, a failed presidential candidate and former ambassador to the United Nations, tried to smear President-elect Donald Trump as “shallow” after he stated he would not offer her a position in his second administration.
The comment appears to expose Haley’s resentment of Trump, who defeated her in the 2024 Republican presidential primary race. Haley dropped out in March after Super Tuesday.
She eventually said she would vote for Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris in the months leading up to Election Day, but the endorsement did not cause Trump to bring Haley on the campaign trail as a surrogate, angering many establishment Republicans.

The actress playing the title role in Disney’s upcoming live-action “Snow White” reboot posted a lengthy anti-Trump rant on Instagram in response to the election results.
Actress Rachel Zegler wrote, “May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace.”
In the post, she complained that her infant daughter may never get to have an abortion.
“I find myself speechless in the midst of this. Another four years of hatred, leaning us towards a world I do not want to live in. Leaning us towards a world that will be hard to raise my daughter in.
Hollywood star Jamie Lee Curtis, who endorsed Kamala Harris’ unsuccessful bid for the White House, is the latest left-wing elite to quit X/Twitter following President-elect Donald Trump’s resounding victory on election day.
Jamie Lee Curtis appears to have nuked her X account early Wednesday. The actress posted a screenshot of the deactivated account to her Instagram profile. (X) Curtis didn’t provide a reason for quitting X. Instead, in her Instagram post, the actress quoted from the Serenity poem. “God, grant me the serenity to accept things I cannot change. Courage to change things I can. And the wisdom to know the difference,” she wrote.

In the first ballot the results were: Thune 23, Cornyn 15, Scott 13.
Scott was removed and the Senators went to the second ballot between Thune and Cornyn.

Britain’s top left-wing newspaper, The Guardian, has announced it will no longer post on Elon Musk’s X social media platform over “far-right conspiracy theories and racism” and Musk’s decision to campaign for Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential election.

Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) has been elected Senate majority leader, setting the stage for him to replace retiring Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who has held the top Senate GOP leadership job for the past 18 years.
Thune has served as Senate Republican whip, the No. 2-ranking position in the Senate GOP leadership, since 2019, and largely managed operation of the Senate floor since McConnell suffered a concussion from a fall in 2023.
Thune beat Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) by a vote of 25 to 24, according to two sources familiar.
Special counsel Jack Smith reportedly plans to retire before President-elect Donald Trump takes office in January, denying the incoming president a chance to fire him.
Smith, who oversaw the federal criminal cases against Trump related to the 78-year-old’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election and the hoarding of classified documents, is wrapping up his work ahead of the 47th president’s inauguration on Jan. 20, 2025, the New York Times reported.
Smith’s plan is to get ahead of Trump’s promise to “fire” the special counsel within “two seconds” after being sworn in, sources told the outlet.
ABC News executives are reportedly actively searching for a conservative, pro-Trump voice to join the panel on The View after its woke stars all backed Vice President Kamala Harris for president.
The talk show - co-hosted by liberals Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin and Sara Haines as well as Republican Trump critics Ana Navarro and Alyssa Farah Griffin - featured the vice president in an episode just one month ahead of the election.
Then, just one day after Trump's victory, the panelists dressed in all black as if they were attending a funeral.
Diesel motorhome sales are set to be halted in several states at the start of next year due to a new climate rule from California being enacted, according to RVtravel.
