The biggest fans of VP Kamala Harris are refusing to believe that she lost the 2024 election to President-elect Donald Trump. At the core of their conspiracy lies voter turnout-- “Dear POTUS, There are 20 million votes MISSING,” proclaimed one person on X. “No way there were 20 million fewer votes than 2020 with a massive 25 million surge in voter registration and record turnout. NO WAY.” “How can we have had record turnout and twenty million fewer votes cast nationally?” echoed someone else. “I hope in the coming days someone is able to explain how we had record turnout...

The Republicans’ best shot at racial parity with the Democrats has long been to become a multiracial men’s party, given the persistence of the gender gap in how Americans vote. It seems that vision is coming to pass sooner than anyone expected. Exit polls should always be interpreted with caution, but Donald Trump appears to have made dramatic inroads with Latino male voters, accelerating a rightward shift that had become evident in the last two elections. If the early numbers are accurate, Trump will have effectively flipped Joe Biden’s margin with that demographic, which supported Biden at a rate of...

Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (R-HI) thanked President-elect and former President Donald Trump for allowing her to “play a small part” in his presidential campaign. In a post on X, Gabbard described it as a “great honor and privilege to get to know” Trump, whom she described as being a “kind and courageous person.” “I offer my heartfelt thanks and aloha to President Donald Trump for allowing me to play a small part in his victorious campaign to Make America Great Again,” Gabbard wrote. “It has been a great honor and privilege to get to know @realDonaldTrump, a kind and courageous...

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., appeared somber and teary-eyed while waiting to see defeated candidate Vice President Kamala Harris make a concession speech on Wednesday. Arriving at Howard University in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday afternoon, Pelosi was photographed greeting Harris supporters while appearing tearful. In a particularly emotional picture, Pelosi pouted as if just about to weep, and had watery eyes. Other pictures showed Pelosi smiling at the event and mingling with attendees. Harris' concession speech comes after a historic neck-and-neck presidential race ended with a victory for former President Trump early Wednesday morning. While the election was expected...

MrReeKilla @MrReeKilla Kamala only won the states that had no voter ID... Election integrity is under the spotlight, and Americans are rightfully questioning whether certain states remain blue because of inadequate voting security. The contrast between red states with stringent ID laws and those without can't be ignored. Would the outcome change if we had ironclad systems: 100% paper ballots, 0% electronic interference, and strict voter ID checks? "He who walks righteously and speaks with sincerity... will dwell on the heights; his refuge will be the fortress of rocks." [Isaiah 33:15-16] How would stronger ID laws affect public trust in...

Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff was seen holding back tears as a devastated Kamala Harris conceded election defeat to Donald Trump. The 60-year-old was seen being embraced by his daughter Ella as his wife said: 'To my beloved Doug and our family, I love you so very much.' Her running mate Minnesota Governor Tim Walz patted his heart and appeared to also hold back tears as the incumbent vice president thanked him and his family. Emhoff proceeded to pat Walz on the back as the crowd that gathered at her alma mater Howard University in Washington DC cheered them on. The...

Kamala Harris, and Democrats overall, made killing unborn babies in abortions the center of their campaigns in 2024 — a move that did not end up galvanizing enough pro-abortion voters to deliver Harris a victory over now-President-elect Donald Trump. Democrats pulled out all the stops: allowing free abortions outside the DNC, fear-mongering about miscarriage care, putting abortion measures on the ballot in ten states, trotting out pro-abortion celebrities, touring the nation promising to restore Roe and championing abortion throughout pregnancy. But in the face of a floundering economy and a porous southern border, abortion did not end up being a...

A devastated Kamala Harris told her scores of tearful fans to keep fighting as she conceded election defeat to Donald Trump in Washington, D.C. The emotional vice president admitted 'this is not what we wanted' as she took the stage at Howard University, almost 12 hours after the race was officially called for the former president. Harris, however, also vowed to help with the peaceful transfer of power even as she said she would continue the battle after Trump's dominant victory. As of Wednesday afternoon, the former president had swept five of the seven swing states and was on the...

The first act of a Republican Senate should be to censure Adam 'Shifty' Schiff. Is that a thing that can happen?

HELENA, Mont. – SBA Pro-Life America released the following statement in response to the passage of CI-128 in Montana. “We mourn the loss of lives and freedom in Montana with the passage of pro-abortion amendment CI-128,” said SBA Pro-Life America Western Regional Director Adam Schwend. “The abortion industry was able to run a deceptive campaign devoid of the truth by outspending the prolife side by an 83:1 ratio. The abortion lobby bought this election, tricking Montanans to put all-trimester abortion paid for by the taxpayer in the constitution by using their cash advantage to spread lies and fear. “We’re thankful...

Jefferson City, Mo. – SBA Pro-Life America this evening released the following statement in response to the passage of Amendment 3 in Missouri. “We mourn the lives that will be lost under Amendment 3,” said SBA Pro-Life Director of State Affairs Sue Liebel. “Missouri is now far less free with a late-term abortion amendment in the constitution that will enable the ACLU and abortion industry to strip Missourians of parental consent and force them to pay for abortions. The disappointing results are a reminder that human rights battles are not won overnight. Throughout history, great injustices have taken time and...

US stocks surged to record highs on Wednesday as investors digested Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election over Kamala Harris. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 3.5%, or about 1,500 points to close at a record and post its best day since 2022. The benchmark S&P 500 moved up roughly 2.5% to surpass the 5,900 level, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite rose about 2.9%, also clinching a new record. Outside of the presidential election, Republicans have also flipped the Senate. Control of the House of Representatives remains unclear (and likely will for days or weeks). Trump's policies had...

The team are in Somerset to investigate the remains of a small Roman villa, dating back to just after the time of the Roman invasion in 43 a.d. But previous excavations suggest it was occupied by local inhabitants rather than Roman invaders. Could it have been built on the site of an earlier, Iron Age settlement? The team are joined by Roman specialists John Creighton and Tom Moore, and Claire Ryley makes an authentic period garden. Members of the Stranglers put in a surprise appearance.Blacklands: The Iron Age Brits Who Welcomed The First Romans | Time Team | 47:29Odyssey -...

He feels berned by the Dems. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) unleashed a blistering takedown of the Democratic Party in the wake of its dramatic spate of losses on Election Day. “It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them,” the Democratic socialist said in a fiery statement on X. “First, it was the white working class, and now it is Latino and Black workers as well. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And...

As more ballots are counted, the gap is closing dramatically... as much as half since last night and only 68% reporting

The forces that propelled President-elect Donald J. Trump to victory will be endlessly analyzed. Many Americans woke up on Wednesday morning shocked that he could win again. But there is no doubt about one thing: Mr. Trump was a ferociously effective campaigner. To watch him up close on this third run for president was to see him blend comedy, fury, optimism, darkness and cynicism like never before. He was an expert communicator, able to transmute legal and mortal peril to build upon his self mythology. He won new supporters and kept old ones in thrall. At dozens of events, I...
