Not surprisingly, opinions are decidedly mixed on why President-Elect Donald Trump enjoyed such a decisive victory over Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris in Tuesday's presidential election. Perhaps the most disagreements out there on the "how did this happen?" question are coming from stunned Democrats and media figures alike who no doubt felt certain going into Election Day that their mix of lawfare and demonization of the former president as the "next Hitler" would ultimately be his undoing. Not only did it not turn out that way, but the tactics backfired bigly, with Trump crushing the Harris-Walz ticket, winning not only...

Remember that Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was one of the seminal people involved in the "coup" effort to move Joe Biden aside from the 2024 presidential race, and that ended up with him being replaced by Kamala Harris. She was pretty much crowing about it after she did it. They weren't honest about Biden's issues and then they swapped him for Harris without one primary vote of the American people. But you were just supposed to accept it because it was for your own good. The "muh democracy" crowd did the most anti-democratic thing ever with this. ... So, when...

Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem (11/7/24)[Prayer]Names and Titles of God the Holy Spirit (Communicator) Acts 2:15-1816 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; 17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: 18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: 19 And I will...

A Florida appeals court on Wednesday reaffirmed a previous decision that the state Agency for Health Care Administration cannot claw back asserted overpayments of Medicaid funds hospitals received for emergency services provided to eligible unauthorized immigrants... The current lawsuit, filed by North Broward Hospital District, arose from AHCA's Undocumented Alien Project, in which it audited all inpatient hospital claims for emergency services that were provided to unauthorized individuals in the state between July 2005 and June 2010. The review was started in response to a federal audit that found Florida was claiming federal funding for services that the federal Centers...

Failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris admitted on Wednesday that she knew every single attack she launched against President-Elect Donald Trump and his presidency was a bald-faced lie. More than twelve hours after Trump delivered a stunning blow to the regime and swept both the popular vote and Electoral College, Harris took the stage at Howard University to begrudgingly concede. She could have conceded in the wee hours of the morning, but that would have required showing up when it mattered — something she clearly doesn’t do (see her disastrous handling of Afghanistan). But it wasn’t her hollow speech about “unity”...

Time to take a victory lap. We worked really hard and had the best polling this time out.Incredible!!

On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Last Word,” Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) argued that one problem Democrats had in the 2024 campaign is “a lot of things that people attributed to Donald Trump really belong to Joe Biden. And I don’t think we did a good enough job of delineating that for the voting public,” but they will do so in the event that Democrats are the minority party in the House. Clyburn said that if Democrats are in the minority in the House and Trump’s “agenda is anything akin to what his campaign was all about, we are going...

DEI Meets the Secret Ballot In retrospect, maybe running the DEI hire for president was not a good idea. On the other hand, President Joe Biden's revenge plan worked perfectly. As reported by The New York Times, after his catastrophic debate, Biden's White House staff kept presenting congressional Democrats with data proving he still had a much better chance of beating Trump than his vice president did. Then, the moment he was defenestrated, guess who Biden endorsed? Kamala Harris, the candidate he'd told them could not win. But she was a black lady, so ... checkmate! Inasmuch as the sole...

“‘“The fear of the Lord, that is wisdom”’” (Job 28:28). Being wise begins with knowing God. The fear of the Lord is the most basic idea related to wisdom and is the key to understanding it. The Book of Proverbs especially teaches us that the fear of the Lord is inextricably linked to wisdom: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction” (Prov. 1:7). Knowledge, wisdom, instruction, and understanding are often used as synonyms in Proverbs. The link between fear of the Lord and wisdom is also evident in Proverbs 9:10: “The fear...

I’ve been told I’m a bigmouth, a crass know-it-all who enjoys kicking people while they’re down — people like all the imbeciles who voted a demented grifter into the White House in 2020 and then tried to replace the old fart with a brainless, cackling DIE hire. To that I say, guilty as charged! So, without further ado, let me offer free life-coaching to all the fey losers on the left, crying into their/zey/zem’s decaf, gluten-free, free-range frappucchino. To Stephen King, whose many scary books I bought, read, and enjoyed: Write about what you know. You clearly don’t know jack...

Officers were out in force Wednesday evening to make sure Philadelphia remained safe after social media posts surfaced regarding looting and protests. "We're being very, very cautious," said Philadelphia Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel. "Make sure we protect our communities across the entire city, not just here in Center City." Authorities say they were prepared for possible disruptions as Election Day came and went.

Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu said on Thursday, a day after Donald Trump became U.S. president-elect, that the West should accept Russia was winning the Ukraine war and negotiate an end to it. -snip- The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump’s transition team had proposed that Kyiv could promise not to join NATO for 20 years in exchange for Washington agreeing to arm it heavily to deter a Russian attack. Russia says it will not comment on media reports, and that it would need to see the details of any plan before commenting. The Kremlin reacted cautiously on Wednesday...

While the details of this potential change to the U.S. electoral process are thin, the suggestion of the RNC co-chair seems to confirm many experts' fears that Donald Trump's return to the White House might significantly transform American democracy. A "blanket federal election process" is likely referring to a desire to standardize procedures at the national level instead of letting every state choose its own process; this might include the homogenization of the deadlines for mail-in ballots, absentee ballots, and when votes are counted across the country. Talking to Fox News host Sean Hannity on Wednesday after her father-in-law's historic...

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). Whether one is conservative, progressive, liberal, or moderate (political or spiritual) all are quite receptive to a godless delusion and are willingly oblivious to the ETERNAL REALITIES of time and ETERNITY. There is no shortage of...

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...
