Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Good—Good afternoon everyone. Good afternoon. Good afternoon, good afternoon. Thank you all.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. So let me say (crowd screams love you), and I love you back and I love you back. So let me say my heart is full today. My heart is full today, full of gratitude for the trust you have placed in me, full of love for our country, and full of resolve. The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for. But hear me when I say, hear me when I say, the light of America's promise will always burn bright as long as we never give up and as long as we keep fighting. To my beloved Doug and our family, I love you so very much. To President Biden and Dr. Biden, thank you for your faith and support. To Governor Walz and the Walz family, I know your service to our nation will continue. And to my extraordinary team, to the volunteers who gave so much of themselves, to the poll workers and the local election officials I thank you. I thank you all.

Look, I am so proud of the race we ran. And the way we ran it. Over the 107 days of this campaign, we have been intentional about building community and building coalitions, bringing people together from every walk of life and background, united by love of country with enthusiasm and joy in our fight for America's future. And we did it with the knowledge that we all have so much more in common than what separates us. Now, I know folks are feeling and experiencing a range of emotions right now. I get it, but we must accept the results of this election.

Earlier today, I spoke with President-elect Trump and congratulated him on his victory. I also told him that we will help him and his team with their transition and that we will engage in a peaceful transfer of power.

A fundamental principle of American democracy is that when we lose an election, we accept the results. That principle, as much as any other, distinguishes democracy from monarchy or tyranny. And anyone who seeks the public trust must honor it. At the same time, in our nation, we owe loyalty not to a president or a party, but to the Constitution of the United States, and loyalty to our conscience and to our God. My allegiance to all three is why I am here to say, while I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign—the fight: the fight for freedom, for opportunity, for fairness, and the dignity of all people. A fight for the ideals at the heart of our nation, the ideals that reflect America at our best. That is a fight I will never give up.

I will never give up the fight for a future where Americans can pursue their dreams, ambitions, and aspirations. Where the women of America have the freedom to make decisions about their own body and not have their government telling them what to do. We will never give up the fight to protect our schools and our streets from gun violence. And America we will never give up the fight for our democracy, for the rule of law, for equal justice, and for the sacred idea that every one of us, no matter who we are or where we start out, has certain fundamental rights and freedoms that must be respected and upheld.

And we will continue to wage this fight in the voting booth, in the courts and in the public square. And we will also wage it in quieter ways: in how we live our lives by treating one another with kindness and respect, by looking in the face of a stranger and seeing a neighbor, by always using our strength to lift people up, to fight for the dignity that all people deserve. The fight for our freedom will take hard work. But, like I always say, we like hard work. Hard work is good work. Hard work can be joyful work. And the fight for our country is always worth it. It is always worth it. To the young people who are watching, it is okay to feel sad and disappointed. But please know it's going to be okay.

On the campaign, I would often say when we fight, we win. But here's the thing, here's the thing, sometimes the fight takes a while. That doesn't mean we won't win. That doesn't mean we won't win. The important thing is don't ever give up. Don't ever give up. Don't ever stop trying to make the world a better place. You have power. You have power. And don't you ever listen when anyone tells you something is impossible because it has never been done before.

You have the capacity to do extraordinary good in the world. And so to everyone who is watching, do not despair. This is not a time to throw up our hands. This is a time to roll up our sleeves. This is a time to organize, to mobilize, and to stay engaged for the sake of freedom and justice and the future that we all know we can build together. Look, many of you know I started out as a prosecutor and throughout my career I saw people at some of the worst times in their lives. People who had suffered great harm and great pain, and yet found within themselves the strength and the courage and the resolve to take the stand, to take a stand, to fight for justice, to fight for themselves, to fight for others. So let their courage be our inspiration. Let their determination be our charge. And I'll close with this.

There's an adage a historian once called a law of history, true of every society across the ages. The adage is, only when it is dark enough can you see the stars. I know many people feel like we are entering a dark time, but for the benefit of us all, I hope that is not the case. But here's the thing, America, if it is, let us fill the sky with the light of a brilliant, brilliant billion of stars.

The light, the light of optimism, of faith, of truth and service.

And may that work guide us even in the face of setbacks toward the extraordinary promise of the United States of America. I thank you all. Make God bless you. And may God bless the United States of America. I thank you all.

Ok….let the betting begin. Why didn’t she concede last night?

1. She was drunk.

2. She curled into a ball and became mute.

3. She was waiting for more ballots to materialize.

note that every “we” in the speech means Harris and her supporters. Never “we Americans.”

Funny how she still doesn’t get it — why voters rejected her. She still has these delusions of “social justice” and mean, evil Middle Americans.

Her speech writers had to prepare a speach that she could understand and butcher giving it.

Don’t care. She is an insignificant little bug or less to me. She is now irrelevant.

All I care about is when she was to give it a squirrel ran across the stage.

Message from P’nut.

The same reason why we read barf alert articles, the Communist Manifesto, and Rules for Radicals.

Where the women of America have the freedom to make decisions about their own body and not have their government telling them what to do.

So what was her position on Biden mandating COVID shots for women in the armed forces and female government workers?

“Earlier today, I spoke with President-elect Trump and congratulated him on his victory. I also told him that we will help him and his team with their transition and that we will engage in a peaceful transfer of power.”

She called President Trump a fascist. Obama-Biden created a false narrative that President elect Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. They arrested and charged his campaign team with fake crimes.

The Biden administration raided Trumps home with armed FBI agents who were authorized to use deadly force.

They have no clue what peaceful transfer of power means.

Welll… https://nypost.com/2024/10/05/us-news/kamala-harris-campaign-still-mandating-employees-get-covid-vax/

Vice President Harris is still insisting that employees of her 2024 presidential campaign be fully vaccinated against the coronavirus — even as most other institutions in American life have abandoned vaccine mandates.

“Harris for President requires all employees to be ‘up to date’ on COVID-19 vaccination status as prescribed by the CDC as a condition of employment, unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law,” reads the fine print of a job posting for a senior designer in Wilmington, Del. Anyone seeking a “reasonable accommodation” must plead their case to human resources.

86%-six of voters self-identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender voted for Harris, according to an NBC News exit poll, a 22-point increase over 2020, when Biden won 64 percent of the LGBTQ vote.

The Times of Isreal reported Jews adhered to longstanding traditions of voting for Democrats in decisive percentages between 65% and 80%. One exit poll had the virulently anti-Israel Harris garnering 77% of the Jewish vote, another had her at 71% and a post-vote analysis estimated Harris’s share at 67%.

More like “stumbled and stuttered” for President. I guess she’ll be remembered as a selected, not elected mouthpiece for the Democratic party machine power brokers.
They thought that had instilled so much false hatred for Trump they could elect anybody...
