I'll start: Secretary of Defense: Ted Nugent

In the early hours of Wednesday morning, legacy news networks were already sliding toward 2016 levels of melting down about the increasingly definite prospect of a presidential victory by Donald J. Trump. For them, Harris’ stinging defeat is personal — because it’s just as much a defeat for them as it is for her. The corporate media industrial complex has spent Donald Trump’s entire political career trying to destroy him. Hand-in-hand with triple-letter government agencies and Democrats, they ran a hoax painting Trump as a Russian stooge based on ridiculous rumors commissioned by his opponent’s campaign in 2016. They continued...

The Intelligence Sector wields disproportionate influence over us. They decide what we can know, think and discuss among ourselves. But is "Intelligence Sector" an oxymoron? Is their so-called "intelligence" really "dumbinance", stupid domineering? A determinative example to explore this issue might be the Russian Collusion Narrative. The only true, historical precedence involves the DEMOCRATS. In 1960, Soviet Ambassador Mikhail Menshikov attempted to persuade prominent DEMOCRAT candidate in the prior two elections (1956 and 1952) ADLAI STEVENSON, to stand, in view of Republican candidate Richard Nixon's role in the prosecution of communist, convicted perjurer before Congree, Alger Hiss (1951). This is...

While abortion dominated the ballot measure landscape, pro-life Americans won another victory in West Virginia. West Virginians narrowly approved a constitutional amendment to explicitly prohibit killing patients and elderly people in assisted suicide. Voters approved the measure on a narrow 50.5-49.5 margin, but enough for a pro-life victory. The explanation provided on ballots was that “The purpose of this amendment is to protect West Virginians against medically-assisted suicide.” The amendment would add a section to the state Constitution to say, “No person, physician, or health care provider in the State of West Virginia shall participate in the practice of medically...

Ap just called Michigan for Trump. Alaska, Nevada and Arizona are still not called.

Link only. AP and Fox calls MI for Trump.

I'm old enough to remember this. Pat was a trip for sure.

Based on Trump’s own words, here are the people who have the most to fear.Joe Biden/Kamala Harris/Barack Obama/Hillary Clinton/Nancy Pelosi/Liz Cheney

President-elect Donald Trump spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday, according to the Prime Minister’s Office. As Breitbart News reported earlier Wednesday, Netanyahu was among the first world leaders to congratulate Trump after his massive victory, which surprised pollsters in the United States and international observers alike. Later in the day, the two spoke by telephone. The Prime Minister’s Office provided the following readout (which it translated from Hebrew): Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, this evening (Wednesday, 6 November 2024), spoke with US President-elect Donald Trump and was among the first to call him. Their conversation was warm and...

Senate Republicans are feeling optimistic they’ll expand their majority to 53 seats next year as Sen. Bob Casey (D) is trailing Republican David McCormick in Pennsylvania by more than 50,000 votes with 95 percent of the vote counted. They had a huge night Tuesday, picking up Sen. Joe Manchin’s (I) seat in West Virginia and knocking off third-term Sens. Sherrod Brown (D) and Jon Tester (D) by comfortable margins in Ohio and Montana, respectively, to guarantee a 52-seat Senate majority next year. Now, Senate GOP strategists are feeling confident about defeating Casey, who has represented Pennsylvania in the Senate since...

A ‘White Dude for Harris' supporter was seen having an epic meltdown on election night after realizing Donald Trump was going to emerge victorious. A video posted to X showed a man screaming profanities before ripping off his shirt and storming off camera.

“The View” hosts — Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, Ana Navarro, Joy Behar and Alyssa Farah Griffin — came together on the Nov. 6 episode of the ABC talk show to react to Donald Trump‘s victory over Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election. All six women voted for Harris, even outspoken Republican and former Trump aide Griffin. “So what happened last night?” Goldberg asked her co-hosts while never uttering Trump’s name.

Trump at Howard University in Washington, in what her campaign said would be a speech at 4 p.m. Eastern. Ms. Harris was scheduled to call Mr. Trump soon to concede, according to a senior official familiar with her plans.

President-elect Donald Trump harked back to the assassination attempts against him this summer, contending that God spared him for a reason those fateful days. “Many people have told me that God spared my life for a reason,” Trump proclaimed during his victory speech in the wee hours of Wednesday morning. “And that reason was to save our country and to restore America to greatness, and now we are going to fulfill that mission together. We’re going to fulfill that.” “The task before us will not be easy, but I will bring every ounce of energy, spirit and fight that I...

Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov has explained why President Vladimir Putin does not plan to congratulate Donald Trump on his victory in the US election, APA reports citing TASS. "I still know nothing about Putin's intention to congratulate Trump," the Kremlin spokesman told the media. A few hours earlier, Peskov also said Putin had no plans for congratulating Trump. "I suggest remembering that we are talking about an election that took place in a country that is unfriendly to us and in a country that is involved in the conflict over Ukraine," Peskov said.

The blame game is under way after Vice President Kamala Harris took a humiliating shellacking in Tuesday’s presidential election. Hours after President Donald Trump capped his years-long campaign to return to the White House by making the electoral college map a study in red, fierce finger-pointing was taking place among Democrats, Fox News reporter Jacqui Heinrich posted on X. “The blame game has begun inside Harris world,” she wrote, sharing the perspective of Lindy Li, a member of the Democratic National Committee’s National Finance Committee and Pennsylvania commissioner. ... The post-mortem began with the selection of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz...

Despite a slew of celebrity endorsements for Kamala Harris, Donald Trump has declared victory in the presidential election. His supporters are expectedly thrilled, but many who supported Harris (and who support rights for women and minorities) have spoken out against the election results. “I hate yall bad,” Cardi B wrote on an Instagram Story that depicted her face as she listened to the results coming in. She also took aim at several southern states that swung towards Trump in a now-deleted post on X, saying, “This is why some of y’all states be getting hurricanes.” Bette Midler shared a quote...

Welp. I thought we were past this. I really did. I was wrong. For the last years, my Twitter feed has been filled with MAGA trolls telling me that people like me “are the problem.” I never believed them. At least I didn’t until last night, when my nation confirmed it. Turns out, people like me really are the problem, and I must admit, as Donald Trump begins the process of assuming his second presidency, that I don’t know what to do about it. The thing is, people like me don’t want to believe that half of my countrymen support...
