    If Democrats had any brains, they’d listen to this guy.Reasonable Democrats such as Bill Maher and Ana Kasparian (a former Democrat, actually) have been talking about these kinds of voters for a long time. But the more leftist, so-called “progressive” Democrats have ignored voters like this, and will probably continue to ignore them in the future.Anyway, this is an awesome video:https://www.tiktok.com/@_ajtsanchez/video/7433898832137669918

    The president-elect's team plans to force Kiev to suspend its NATO aspirations, sources have told the outlet Donald Trump's team is considering several potential plans to end the Ukraine conflict, which would require Kiev to drop its plans to join NATO in the foreseeable future and freeze hostilities along the current front line, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, citing sources. According to officials and aides familiar with the situation, the Trump team does not yet have a detailed plan, with different factions "set to compete to influence the Republican's foreign policy." Such "traditionally minded" Trump allies as Mike...

    Here’s a sampling of some of the emails received by AT from lefty outfits in the wake of Tuesday night’s Restoration: From the Amalgamated Transit Union: Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) International President John Costa released the following statement on the election of Donald Trump as the 47th U.S. President, expressing deep concerns about our country's future. “This election has been one of the most divisive and contentious in modern American history. The stark contrast between the values championed by Kamala Harris and those espoused by Donald Trump was clear throughout the campaign. While we fought for unity, inclusivity, and progress,...

    Below is my column in the New York Post on the developments in the pending Trump cases. I previously wrote that, if Trump prevailed in this election, it was likely that Special Counsel Jack Smith would “not see a jury in either of his cases.” This morning, Smith is reportedly in discussions on the possible dropping of his two federal cases against the president-elect. The prosecutorial campaigns appear to be collapsing with the political campaigns against Trump. Here is the column: After years of thrill-kill prosecutions, the thrill is gone for lawfare warriors. Election Day’s greatest losers may be special...

    Today in America, there is no shortage of individuals who love "the lie" (2 Thess. 2:10-12). Whether one is conservative, progressive, liberal or a moderate (political or spiritual) all are quite receptive to a godless delusion and are willingly oblivious to the ETERNAL REALITIES of time and ETERNITY (John 3:16-17, Acts 4:12, Rom. 10:2-4, 3:23, 6:23, 1 John 4:10, Rev 20:11-15, Rev. 21, 22:1-5).

  • Trump’s ‘plan to end Ukraine war’ emerges after Zelensky holds ‘great’ call with Don – and Putin launches drone blitz

    DONALD Trump's reported plan to end the Ukraine war has emerged after Zelensky held a call congratulating the president-elect. -snip- Trump would freeze the conflict in place and establish a demilitarised zone down the locked front line, the Wall Street Journal now reports. Kyiv would not join Nato for 20 years, but the US would continue to arm Ukraine to the teeth to prevent Putin from invading again. Who would police the demilitarised zone remains unclear, according to the sources, but it wouldn't involve American troops or an international body. -snip- "We are not sending American men and women to...

    Not the best way to drum up business. An ambulance slammed into a cyclist in Oregon — breaking his nose and smashing his bike — then billed him more than $1,800 for a ride to the hospital, according to a new lawsuit. William Hoesch, 71, is suing Columbia River Fire & Rescue for nearly $1 million, claiming an ambulance driver for the company left him with the outrageous bill along with permanent injuries and roughly $100,000 in medical expenses, oregonlive.com reported. Hoesch was pedaling through the tiny town of Rainier, near the Columbia River, in October 2022 when the big...

    A senior Hamas official has called for an immediate end to Israel's war against the group in the Gaza Strip and a plan to achieve Palestinian statehood in remarks shared with Newsweek in the wake of former President Donald Trump's election victory. "The election of Trump as the 47th president of the USA is a private matter for the Americans," Hamas Political Bureau member and spokesperson Basem Naim told Newsweek, "but Palestinians look forward to an immediate cessation of the aggression against our people, especially in Gaza, and look for assistance in achieving their legitimate rights of freedom, independence, and...

    With Kamala Harris having conceded the election to Donald Trump, and with Trump having won the popular vote, will Democrats stop their assault on Trump and the American people? Not likely. While there are a few close states not officially yet called, Trump is on his way to what we called several weeks ago, something close to a 312 – 226 Electoral College vote victory. He’s swept all seven swing states. He made New Hampshire and Virginia competitive, expanding his electoral map and forcing Democrats to spend resources in the race’s waning days. Best of all, he won a resounding...

    American Greatness ^ | 7 Nov, 2024 | Victor Davis Hanson
    Harris’s campaign was crippled by her ties to unpopular policies, Biden administration failures, authenticity issues, and a contentious nomination process. The presidential race was not unpredictable, as the now once again discredited polls swore to us. Instead, the great Trump comeback victory was clear by the last weeks of the campaign. The Republicans had made massive gains in voter registrations since 2020, when Trump had lost the Electoral College by only a few thousand strategically placed votes. Republicans began to master the transition to non-Election Day balloting—first engineered by the left in 2020 under the pretext of COVID. They not...

    Washington Examiner ^ | 11/6/24 | Michael Barone
    The pattern is clear, though the numbers may be slightly different when the final results are available. The state with the biggest Trump percentage increase was his native New York (6.9%), followed by California (5.6%), New Jersey (5.3%), Maryland (5.1%), Florida (5.0%), Illinois (4.9%), Connecticut (4.6%), and Texas (4.3%). They include the four highest-population states. All eight of them have large immigrant and Hispanic populations. The CNN exit poll reported that Trump lost Latino voters to Harris by only a 53 to 45% margin, a historic high percentage for a Republican and one that lays to rest Democratic analysts’ hopes...
  • Thomas Friedman: 'Harris lost because of woke anti-Israel progressiveness'. [October 8th, a day after the massacre, college "students" were already protesting Israel]

    INN ^ | 11.7.24
    In an interview with Israeli journalist Ilana Dayan on Galei Tzahal, New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman blamed US President-Elect Donald Trump's victory on the progressive and anti-Israel left. Friedman told Dayan that the main reason for Harris's defeat was the "woke progressiveness," as well as the fact that as early as October 8th, a day after the massacre, college students were already protesting Israel. Regarding Trump's future policies on the Middle East, Friedman says that one must remember that Miriam Adelson gave millions of dollars to Trump's campaign, so there should be no expectation that Trump will promote a...

    POLITICO ^ | Nov 6, 2024 | Paul McLeary and Jack Detsch
    The Biden administration is planning to rush the last of over $6 billion remaining in Ukraine security assistance out the door by Inauguration Day, as the outgoing team prepares for the weapons flow to end once President-elect Donald Trump takes office. The plan, described by two administration officials who were granted anonymity to discuss internal matters, is the only option the White House has to keep sending equipment to Ukraine to fight off continued Russian offensives. But the problems are immense. It normally takes months for munitions and equipment to get to Ukraine after an aid package is announced, so...

    CNN's Scott Jennings reacted to President Donald Trump's election victory early on Wednesday, telling the CNN panel that voters stood up and said "enough."SCOTT JENNINGS, CNN: I'm interpreting the results tonight as the revenge of just the regular old working class American, the anonymous American who has been crushed, insulted, condescended to. They're not garbage. They're not Nazis. They're just regular people who get up and go to work every day and are trying to make a better life for their kids, and they feel like they have been told to just shut up when they have complained about the...

    Democracy prevailed; the people will have their way in spite of all that was done and said to prevent that from happening. Trump won despite nearly every institution in America – media, academia, and big business, too – not just opposing him but opposing him virulently, comparing him to Hitler and warning that his election would spell the end of democracy itself. ... Trump’s win is more than an epic personal and policy success story, it’s a vote of “no-confidence” in institutions and governance by authoritative experts. Institutions fail when they do not focus on their core mission. Consider all...

    President-elect Trump is expected to get to work immediately upon taking office enacting major changes on immigration, energy and foreign policy. Trump late last year suggested he would not rule as a dictator “except for day one,” a sign he intends to use executive authority aggressively to implement changes to immigration policy and energy policy in particular. Trump has also signaled he would move swiftly to roll back protections for transgender youth, and he would fire the man prosecuting a criminal case against him. Here’s a look at what Trump has said he will do “on day one.” **SNIP** Energy...
