Trump’s election to the Presidency is a breathtaking achievement. So many thought he had too many issues working against him and were certain that the country would not elect a convicted felon or a man who “planned to be a dictator” on his first day in office.But they were wrong. (snip) Given the sound rejection of the Left’s agendas across the country, has the Left learned anything? The answer is a resounding “No!”Even if the Left realized that they had made a huge mistake in not listening to the people, that fact will be irrelevant to them. The radical Left...

NATIONAL BITTERSWEET CHOCOLATE WITH ALMONDS DAY On November 7th, National Bittersweet Chocolate with Almonds Day ushers in one of the more healthful ways to enjoy chocolate. #BittersweetChocolateWithAlmondsDay Bittersweet chocolate is chocolate liquor to which sugar, cocoa butter, and vanilla have been added.

Recent studies reveal health benefits from eating small quantities of bittersweet chocolate. The addition of almonds increases health benefits as well. Pairing the two of them gives us a delicious and healthy snack. Make them a part of...

General Michael Flynn joined Steve Bannon on Wednesday following President Trump’s massive victory in the 2024 presidential election on Tuesday. Not only did President Trump win reelection, but Republicans also took the US Senate and the US House of Representatives. On Wednesday morning, Steve Bannon invited General Michael Flynn on The War Room to discuss the election results and the important next steps for President-elect Donald Trump. In 2017, General Flynn, President Trump’s former National Security Advisor, spoke with his old friend Steve Bannon, who was President Trump’s Chief Strategist in 2017 when Trump entered the White House. Little did...

2020 was the fairest most secure election in U.S. history! The 16.83 million vote deficit mystery? Where did they come from where did they go?

One of the most common “presidential” documents in our modern government is an executive order. Every American president has issued at least one, totaling more than (as of this writing) 13,731 since George Washington took office in 1789. Media reports of “changes made by executive order,” or “executive orders to come” rarely explain what the document is, or other technical details, such as why, or how. They seem to be “instant law,” and, at times, steeped in controversy. Over the last few decades this action has been used to overstep the founders efforts to create and/or maintain a democratic form...

BERLIN, Nov 6 (Reuters) - Germany's coalition collapsed on Wednesday as Chancellor Olaf Scholz fired his finance minister and paved the way for a snap election, triggering political chaos in Europe's largest economy hours after Donald Trump won the U.S. presidential election. After dismissing Finance Minister Christian Lindner of the Free Democrats (FDP) party, Scholz is expected to head a minority government with his Social Democrats and the Greens, the second-largest party. Scholz said he would call a confidence motion in his government for Jan. 15, the necessary precursor to holding an election by the end of March. Under rules...

Russian President Vladimir Putin won’t join the chorus of global leaders congratulating Donald Trump on his historic election win, his spokesman stating U.S.-Russian relations are “at their lowest point in history”. Political leaders from across Europe sent letters of congratulations to once and future President Donald Trump on Wednesday, some out of a sense of genuine pleasure and others in a bid at damage control, but the Kremlin says President Vladimir Putin takes no pleasure from the news.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) intends to remain at the helm of the lower chamber and asked his colleagues Wednesday to help him keep his gavel. ​​”The American people have shown by their votes that they are ready to turn from the misery of the past four years and embark on a brighter, bolder path that is marked not by big government, bureaucratic control, poverty, inflation and wokeness—but by liberty, security, strength, prosperity and opportunity,” the Louisiana Republican wrote in a letter to lawmakers. “I’m ready to take the field with all of you, and I am humbly asking for...

CHICAGO (AP) — For the second year in a row, Earth will almost certainly be the hottest it’s ever been. And for the first time, the globe this year reached more than 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) of warming compared to the pre-industrial average, the European climate agency Copernicus said Thursday. “It’s this relentless nature of the warming that I think is worrying,” said Carlo Buontempo, director of Copernicus. Buontempo said the data clearly shows the planet would not see such a long sequence of record-breaking temperatures without the constant increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere driving global...

Republicans could see a boost in Pennsylvania from a demographic rarely seen at the polls: the Amish.The state’s famed “Pennsylvania Dutch” registered to vote in “unprecedented numbers” in response to a January federal raid on a local raw milk farm in Bird in Hand, Pa., a source familiar with the situation told The Post.The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture stormed Amos Miller’s farm Jan. 4 after reports of illnesses in children linked to raw dairy products purchased there, according to the local media outlet Lancaster Farming.The Amish community saw the move as an overzealous reach by the government and was planning...

All of the Harris/Biden unlawful giveaways must be immediately canceled and clawed back. Yes, this means all of the college loan "forgiveness" (which is no such thing, it is forcing you to pay someone else's debt.) I have a solution to this that the colleges will not like but again this is an outline posting; the details will follow in other entries. All Executive Orders are subject to this risk; none create a due process right and thus there's nothing to sue about.

CNN - Donald Trump believes presidents have almost absolute power. In his second term, there will be few political or legal restraints to check him. The president-elect’s sweeping victory over Vice President Kamala Harris suddenly turned the theoretical notion that he will indulge his autocratic instincts into a genuine possibility. When Trump returns to the White House in January as one of the most powerful presidents in history, he’ll be able to take advantage of his own filleting of guardrails during his first presidency, which he continued through legal maneuverings out of office. It’s not guaranteed that just because Trump...

Love him or hate him, the second election of Donald Trump as president of the United States establishes him as one of the most significant and astounding figures in American history. With this second win, Trump has also done more to change the conventional wisdom than any American political figure in nearly a century. Only 15 presidents have served two or more terms, so Trump’s victory already places him in elite company. Time served in office is certainly one of the ways we rate our presidents, but there is much more to the Trump story. The 2024 election will change...

Nevada Democratic U.S. Sen. Jacky Rosen and Republican challenger Sam Brown were literally tied after initial election results were released Tuesday night, and by that time the race in Nevada was already irrelevant to control of the Senate, which Republicans had wrested from Democrats earlier in the evening.

A disappointed, pouting Nancy Pelosi waited to greet the now-defeated Vice President Kamala Harris at Howard University in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday afternoon, prior to Harris’s concession speech. The former Democrat House Speaker was photographed while looking emotionally distraught in relation to Harris’s defeat, which saw President-elect Donald Trump win the popular vote by a landslide, which a Republican hasn’t accomplished since 2004. ...she previously championed President Biden’s obvious cognitive decline, prior to the disastrous July debate performance in which it became even more evident. Pelosi then went on to contradict her previous claims, revealing that she “took a punch...
