The End of Never Trump
Posted By: zephyrgirl, 11/18/2024 2:43:48 PM
Donald Trump’s sweeping victory in the 2024 election saw the end of a host of political assumptions — about the country, the inevitability of the left’s generation-shifting agenda and the inability of the Republican Party to penetrate key demographics that have proven resistant to its message. But it also ends one of the most vile and corrupt strains of political activity in the past eight years: the professionalized NeverTrump movement, which raised scads of cash — “generational wealth,” in the phrasing of Steve Schmidt — selling an obviously failed product to Trump’s antagonists.

Despite his grandson saying he was 'limited' as he turned 100, Jimmy Carter spent his birthday in the sunshine enjoying a military flyover at his Georgia home. Carter - the first American president to reach the century mark - was able to watch a flyover of four F-18 jets and several vintage planes that graced the skies over Plains, Georgia as part of the town's celebrations, per CBS News.
A mentally ill gunman who killed 10 people at a Colorado supermarket was sentenced Monday to life in prison for murder after his family told the court they thought he was possessed by an 'evil spirit.' Ahmad Alissa's attempt to avoid prison time by pleading not guilty by reason of insanity was rejected by the jury, as victims' relatives recounted in pained testimony the lives he destroyed in the 2021 attack in the college town of Boulder.
A woman who inherited $250,000 from her late grandmother has revealed how she quit her job, blew through the money and now lives in a rental home. Sarah Faith Jacobson, a 40-year-old corporate consultant in Texas, said after she received the large amount of money she had no idea what to do with it, and 'regrets' how she spent it. Her grandparents were successful Bay Area real-estate investors in the 1970s,
A gang of thieves has been identified after shocking footage showed them violently loot a Denver jewelry store within minutes as terrified staff cowered in fear. Days after the smash-and-grab crime, officials have laid the blame on the infamous Tren de Aragua gang, the largest criminal organization in Venezuela. Seven males are still being sought over the heist, however one suspect - Jean Torres Roman, 21 - was arrested last week by Homeland Security. The federal bureau said it caught Roman in New Mexico,
A simmering rift between Joe Biden's family and staff has finally boiled over after his disastrous debate performance last week.
The president blamed a cold and a generally 'bad night' for looking frail, confused, and struggling to finish sentences during the showdown with Donald Trump. Biden defiantly declared he would contest the November 5 election and win, despite a push by some top Democrats to convince him to stand aside.
Cracker Barrel hopes splashing out $700 million on refurbishing its restaurants can save the dying chain. The six-point plan includes a makeover for stores with brighter colors to make them less dated, a new logo and new menus. New items on the simplified menu include green chilli cornbread and hashbrown casserole shepherd's pie. Two stores have already been refurbished and ten others are testing a refreshed menu. But CEO Julie Masino said prices in many outlets will rise.
Four Florida teenagers have been killed after they were involved in a police chase in which officers used a maneuver designed to get a car to stop, but caused them to spin out of control. The four, who were between the ages of 14 and 16, attended Newberry High School in Bradford County, northeast of Gainesville. Two of the teens in the car died at the Waldo area scene, while the other two passed away from their injuries days later at UF Health Shands Hospital in Gainesville.
Former Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel has reportedly been banned from appearing on MSNBC after her hiring as an NBC News contributor caused turmoil in the left-leaning network's newsroom. NBC News Senior Vice President of Politics Carrie Budoff Brown announced on Friday that McDaniel would be joining the team and contributing expert insight and analysis on politics and 2024.
McDaniel announced in late February that she would be departing her GOP leadership role earlier this month after pressure from former President Donald Trump
Interviewing Elon Musk this week, former CNN host Don Lemon demonstrated the real-life consequences of affirmative action.
Interestingly enough, Lemon himself is an affirmative action beneficiary who miraculously hung on at CNN despite committing one moronic gaffe after another (maybe he’s just got television magic!). The only CNN on-air personality to handle himself worse was Jeffrey Toobin. Lemon was baffled by Musk’s claim that “if we lower standards for what it takes to become a board-certified surgeon
Planet Fitness' valuation has plummeted $400 million in five days after they banned a member who shared a photo of a 'trans woman' using a female locker room. The company's value dropped from $5.3 billion on March 14 to $4.9 billion on March 19, and its shares are down by 13.59 percent compared to a month ago.

Patricia Silva was barred from the gym in Alaska

were paid for sexual favors by Gaetz,
lawyer says 35 replies
Two women testified to the House Ethics Committee that they were paid for “sexual favors” by former Rep. Matt Gaetz, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for attorney general, a lawyer for the two women told CNN’s Erin Burnett on Monday.
Additionally, one of the women testified to the congressional panel that she witnessed Gaetz having sex with her then-underage friend in 2017, the lawyer, Joel Leppard, said on “OutFront.” CNN reported that detail Friday.
Gaetz has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing. Leppard said it was his client’s testimony that she did not believe Gaetz knew at the time that her friend was underage.
A hacker is said to have gained access to a trove of damaging files related to Matt Gaetz, including testimony from a woman who claims they had sex when she was 17.
A file of 23 exhibits related to allegations against Donald Trump's pick to be Attorney General were accessed by a man using the pseudonym Altam Beezley, The New York Times reported.
The documents are said include sworn testimony from two witnesses at the center of the lurid claims against Gaetz.
House Speaker Mike Johnson on Tuesday refused to say whether newly elected Congressman Tim “Sarah” McBride is a man or a woman.
Delaware state senator Sarah McBride, a biological male who has since ‘transitioned’ to a woman, became the first transgender elected to the U.S. House of Representatives after winning Delaware’s only House seat.
“Tonight is a testament to Delawareans that here in our state of neighbors, we judge candidates based on their ideas and not their identities,” McBride said earlier this month.
After Bud Light contracted Dylan Mulvaney, a "transgender influencer," for an ad campaign that blew up in the company's face, you'd think other major corporations would learn some lessons. To be fair, some did. Others, not so much, and that includes Jaguar. The "luxury" car brand has decided to set itself on fire with a new confusingly woke ad campaign. What's conspicuously absent? Any mention of cars. I have no idea what I just watched, and judging by the replies to the video, I don't think anyone else does either.
Stocks in packaged-food companies have been under pressure in the past few days after President-elect Donald Trump nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a well-known critic of Big Food’s influence on government, to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.
Among the actions laid out in his “Make America Healthy Again
” plan, Kennedy said he would stop allowing beneficiaries of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program to use food stamps to buy soda or processed foods that are widely considered by nutritionists to be unhealthy.
“It’s nonsensical for U.S. taxpayers to spend tens of billions of dollars subsidizing junk that harms the health of low-income Americans,” the HHS nominee wrote.
The 2028 presidential election is still a long way off, though there's still been plenty of chatter about which name leads the pack to follow Donald Trump as the next Republican nominee. That's true for the Democrats as well now, after Vice President Kamala Harris lost to Trump, and Democrats also lost control of the Senate and failed to recapture control of the House. On Monday night, an Echelon Insights poll went out showing that amongst 14 candidates, as well as a "Someone else" response and "Unsure," Harris still has a healthy lead, with 41 percent saying they'd vote for her if the 2028 primary were held today.
Pennsylvania's Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro, who has presidential ambitions, finally weighed in on his party's efforts to steal a U.S. Senate seat in the Commonwealth. "I want to be clear: any insinuation that our laws can be ignored or do not matter is irresponsible and does damage to faith in our electoral process. The rule of law matters in this Commonwealth, and as I have always said, it is critical for counties and officials in both parties to respect it with both their rhetoric and their actions," Shapiro released in a statement. "As Governor, I will continue working to protect our democracy and the votes of all eligible Pennsylvanians -

We’ve reported on how FBI officials were panicking when Trump won the presidential election, worrying that there would be a "bloodbath" of layoffs as the President-elect cleaned house after their endless persecutions of him.
But now FBI and Department of Justice officials are freaking out even more with the announcement that Trump picked former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz to be his attorney general.
Multiple current and former senior Justice Department and FBI officials have begun reaching out to lawyers in anticipation of being criminally investigated by the Trump administration, according to three people with knowledge of their deliberations.
Following Trump’s decisive election victory,
Could President-elect Donald Trump use the military within the U.S. to suppress protests on college campuses, patrol the southern border, and conduct mass deportations? By invoking the Insurrection Act — a little-known law that grants the president sweeping authority to deploy the military on American soil — he plans to do just that.
- Snip -
But in a moment when our democracy hangs by a thread, when the president-elect has openly declared potentially authoritarian ambitions, it could become the legal mechanism for Trump (or any president) to transform our constitutional democracy into a military state

Students at a Philadelphia school are eating lunch at 9am because the district is so crowded with immigrants that canteen dining slots have been staggered throughout the day.
Youngsters at Lincoln High School also lug their backpacks around all day, because there are not enough lockers to go around in a school that this now 1,000 kids above capacity.
Officials have added makeshift divisions to increase the number of available classrooms, but teachers say the new walls are too thin to stop noise and have fallen down during lessons.
According to NBC, DOJ Lawfare operatives and FBI agents within the corrupt and weaponized silos, are calling their friends for legal assistance and protection against investigations of their past activity.
It is easy to see how DOJ-NSD officials would be worried, particularly given the nature of how Deputy AG Lisa Monaco organized them over the past four years to continue Lawfare efforts against President Trump. Perhaps one name, Mary McCord, should be concerned a little more than most.
Additionally, the FBI agents who participated in the witch hunts against President Trump and his allies are also concerned. Both groups now reaching out to lawyers proactively
The vicious Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua has expanded its territory to at least 16 US states — an area that includes half of America’s population, The Post has learned.
Homeland Security officials last week were warned in an internal department intelligence memo about TdA’s growing presence across the country, most recently in Washington, DC, Virginia, Montana and Wyoming.
The gang already has footholds in California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Wisconsin, according to the memo and previous reporting by The Post.
