The response to the re-election of Donald Trump to the presidency reminds me nothing more than the response of disobedient teenagers upon finding out their father is pulling into the driveway.
Consider:
- Putin says western civilization is not an enemy In a recent address at the Valdai Discussion Club in Sochi, Russian President Vladimir Putin articulated his perspective on Western civilization, stating that Russia does not perceive it as an adversary. He emphasized that, unlike some Western elites who adopt an "us versus them" approach, Russia does not view Western civilization as an enemy.
- Mexico is starting to secure the border. Mexico initiated its most extensive migration crackdown to date. This operation involved transporting non-Mexican migrants to the country's southern regions and implementing numerous detentions and administrative measures. These actions, partly influenced by U.S. pressure, aim to mitigate the impact of migration on the upcoming U.S. presidential election and reduce the flow of migrants toward the U.S. border.
- China wants peaceful coexistence and respects the choice of the American people Following the U.S. presidential election on November 6, 2024, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning stated, "We will continue to approach and handle China-U.S. relations based on the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation."
- Inflation is looking like it will ease. As of November 9th, global inflation rates are showing signs of decline. The IMF anticipates a decrease from 6.7% in 2023 to 5.8% in 2024, suggesting that efforts to control price increases are yielding results. This downward trend in inflation is expected to alleviate cost-of-living pressures and support consumer spending.
- New York City is removing incentives for illegal immigrants to remain. Mayor Eric Adams’ administration plans to stop giving prepaid debit cards to migrant families in New York City, ending a pilot program conservative critics have fiercely attacked.
- The European Union want to buy LN2 from us instead of Russia On November 8, 2024, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump that the EU could replace Russian LNG imports with those from the U.S., highlighting the potential for cost savings and enhanced energy security.
- Putin takes Trumps promise to end the Ukraine war very seriously and supports the idea. Russian President Vladimir Putin has publicly acknowledged and expressed support for former U.S. President Donald Trump's commitment to ending the Ukraine conflict. During a news conference at the BRICS summit in Kazan, Russia, Putin stated, "What Mr. Trump said recently, what I heard, [is] he spoke about the desire to do everything to end the conflict in Ukraine. It seems to me that he said it sincerely."
- Stock Market and Crypto hit astounding all time highs. The S&P 500, a broad measure of U.S. equities, closed above 6,000 for the first time on November 8, 2024, marking a significant milestone.
- New York Governor Kathy Hochul reverses her original confrontational tone: Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) called President-elect Donald Trump to “reaffirm” how they can work together despite warning she would not play nice with him just days earlier. A day after Trump won the election in a sweeping victory, Hochul, along with New York Attorney General Letitia James, promised to fight back against any potential "revenge or retribution” now that the incoming 47th president is back in the White House. However, as I reported earlier this week, Trump lawyer Mike Davis offered a grim warning before they violate “Trump’s constitutional rights or any other American’s Constitutional rights.” After that, it took no time for Hochul to straighten up. She called Trump to have a “very cordial” talk and tell him she would work with him on issues facing her state.
- FBI Director Chris Wray makes for the hills: Unconfirmed reports indicate FBI Director Christopher Wray will retire ahead of President Donald Trump’s inauguration. Many have speculated in recent days that he would be fired once Trump is back in the Oval Office. Wray was involved in multiple incidents that hampered the first Trump administration as well as efforts to assist the Democrats’ campaigns over the past four years.
- A Mexican illegal immigrant caravan starts to dissipate: A caravan of thousands of migrants traveling through Mexico with the hope of reaching the U.S. had shrunk to about half its original size on Thursday as many migrants grapple with their prospects following former U.S. President Donald Trump's victory in Tuesday's election.
All of these developments, and rumors of a change of heart in the Houthis and the Taliban, point to a much safer, stable, and prosperous world. It's rather amusing (at least to me) to see so many nations and groups snap to attention upon the election of Donald Trump.
Do not be sanguine, dear reader, and please be aware that the Deep State will reorganize and come back strong. We need to be filled with resolve, aware of their next moves, and responsive to their acts of sabotage. However, it is gratifying to see them scurry like cockroaches when a light is turned on.
I've seen others argue that this election was not a landslide. I agree, not as the term has been classically defined in our history.
"Landslide" is a geophysical term. To stay within geophysical terms, was this a "landslide"? No. But it most certainly was an "earthquake". We bested or matched nearly every pre-election poll. We brought millions of Blacks and Latinos over to our side. We stopped a great deal of cheating, in real time. This was, indeed, an "earthquake". The most telling sign is the response of bad actors, domestically and internationally.

Laz, earlier this year you posted a
noble challenge for FReepers to support, encourage, and mentor upcoming writers on this forum, and thereby create a virtual:
“Writers Guild of Free Republic”
Well, my FRiend. This post of yours on Trump's Earth-shaking victory beautifully hits the mark. Here's what I like:
- Each of your 11 points contain original and interesting analysis.
- You include links to related material to help FReepers who want to drill down on the topic.
- You took the time to set your points in HTML code for a professional appearance and easy read.
- Your whacky signature graphic and outrageous headline definitely wakes up FReepers dozing off to sleep, and,
- Living in Japan now, I'm love your "earthquake" analogy. It not only works, it's actually got way more punch than the lame "landslide" which is usually an isolated event. Bravo Zulu!
And here's another kind of shaking that Trump 47 has caused. Below is my slight change to the second stanza of the Notre Dame Fight Song: Cheer, cheer for ol' Donald Trump,
Wake up the echoes cheering his name,
Send a volley cheer on high,
Shake down the thunder from the sky.
What though the odds be great or small
Ol' Donald Trump will win over all,
While his loyal sons and daughters
March onward to victory.
To: Lazamataz
I am not tired of winning.

BTW speaking as a parent....
We know what was going on, if no one is pregnant, you did not generate a police report or damage property we will pretend that we did not see it.
However.... you will clean it up, you will be on your best behavior and now that we can not trust you be prepared, you will not be left unsupervised again for a very long time.

You have such a good way with words; I always love to read your articles, especially when they are so thoroughly researched and factually presented to us. Keep up the good work!
To: Lazamataz
I hope you can get it to play somehow - it’s a doozie!
To: Lazamataz
WOW - great lists...
Trump knows the essence of a great deal is when all parties walk away from the table happy. That's the key. We can do this - the world's countries of good will can all be great again... it's not a zero sum game.

Wow! That was an awesome review!
As it happens, today is the weekend I restart my writing on the fiction novel(s).
I’m finished with another project; I won’t invest any more time into that one until it starts earning me passive income.
After the writing project, comes work on an invention for which I have a patent in pending status.

So, it looks like I was wrong and hopefully will remain so. I thought for sure all the bad actors would take the period between Election Day and Inaguration Day to do their worst. Instead, they appear to have taken to heart that delicious line uttered by Chief Dan George in Josey Wales, “hell is coming to breakfast.” So, they are going to cut the best deal they can with Xiden before they have to negotiate with DJT.

To: Lazamataz
We stopped a great deal of cheating, in real time. That's a topic I'd like to see in a book. I saw here on FR a few days ago how you were chomping at the bit to personally rectify a situation in your state, so "We" is quite apropos. But I'd be quite curious to learn of all the behind the scenes activity that seems to have halted, except in Arizona, all the counting shenanigans, the late-night ballot drops, and the Rat litigation that was probably supposed to be carving out illegitimate wins for the Dems right now. I believe there was another great steal planned for 2024, but it "died suddenly"!
My impression is that on election night, Trump's lawyers let the fraud-machine players see, except in Arizona, some damning evidence they had from 2020, and informed them that if they tried their tricks again this year they'd end up in prison. In Arizona, my impression is that Trump's lawyers are soon going to make an example there of what they could have done to any rogue state, maybe even to the point that Arizona loses a proportion of their representation in Congress for a time.
Also, it seems like the "landslide" term has been thrown out there by the left to psychologically dissuade their own lemmings from pestering their leaders for 2020 style ballot dumps and lawfare, because those leaders have been made to realize of late that using those tactics this time is only going to lead to their own pain.

That's a topic I'd like to see in a book. I think Lara Trump and Michael Watley want to hold their techniques close to the vest for a while.
Once safeguards are in place, THEN all can be told.
