Did you feel the joy on Tuesday night? Ruy Teixeira sure didn’t. He held his nose and voted for Kamala Harris, but he found her “distinctive policy ideas, to the extent she had them, questionable. I was definitely not a big enthusiast, but I voted for her anyway.” His “historical loyalty” to the Democratic Party meant that he couldn’t bring himself to vote for Donald Trump. “A lot of the obvious things that bother people about Trump bothered me too,” he says. Mr. Trump is “a bit too chaotic and unpredictable, and it seemed risky to me.” Mr. Teixeira didn’t...

Regrets, she has a few … Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) continued to work her way through the stages of grief following Vice President Kamala Harris’ election loss — this time blaming President Biden for not ending his bid for a second term earlier. “Had the president gotten out sooner, there may have been other candidates in the race,” Pelosi (D-Calif.) told the New York Times in comments published Friday. “The anticipation was that, if the president were to step aside, that there would be an open primary.” The 84-year-old went on: “And as I say, Kamala may have,...

Democrats are finally doing something about migration. Donald Trump’s historic re-election to the White House led to a staggering number of Americans taking the left’s meltdown one step further by looking to relocate abroad this week. Since the president-elect’s comeback victory became official on Wednesday, the number of related Google searches jumped 1,514% percent, according to VisaGuide.World. Between Election Day on Tuesday and Wednesday, search traffic for “immigration”-related pages on the site grew by 338% — with would-be expats zeroing in on the easiest countries to relocate to, the site said. Other pages that saw major traffic growth were more...

Bill Maher has hit out at the Democrat Party, claiming it's full of 'brats and snobs' who need to 'look in the mirror' after losing the election to Donald Trump. Maher's roundup was a lively send-up of both sides, a sharp contrast to many of the liberal late night hosts losing their minds over the election earlier this week. The comic, who predicted Kamala Harris would win the election and has long roasted the Republican Party on his HBO show, had harsh words for his own side in his monologue Friday night.

The election official overseeing voting in Arizona's most populous county told a friend last year that he was interested in pursuing a Senate run 'to make life hell for Kari [Lake]', according to court documents seen by DailyMail.com. As Maricopa County Recorder, Stephen Richer is in charge of the ballots that could decide whether Lake triumphs in her tight run for the Senate. But the comments will raise questions from allies of the conservative firebrand about whether he can be trusted to run a fair election. The explosive words come from the transcript of a June 21 deposition that will...

Barack Obama and his wife Michelle have been slammed by his biographer for 'talking down' to voters in 'tone-deaf and clueless' preaching that harmed Kamala Harris' ill-fated presidential campaign. The effect was so bad that – combined with Donald Trump's victory – it is likely to reduce the 44th president's political relevance to 'Bill Clinton levels', David Garrow said in an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com. 'People do not want to be talked down to, no matter who they are,' the 71-year-old Pulitzer Prize winner said.

The Women's March group is returning with a series of D.C. protests in light of President-elect Trump's win. Why it matters: The first Women's March was held the day after Trump's 2017 inauguration to protest what the participants saw as threats the administration posed to issues like civil rights and gender equality. It's considered to be the U.S.' biggest-ever single-day demonstration. And now, almost eight years later, the group is protesting another Trump presidency. State of play: The Women's March group will host a rally in D.C. Saturday at Columbus Circle in front of Union Station "to build community and...

...Gilmour Space received a permit for the spaceport itself in March, and at the time was preparing for a launch as soon as early May. However, the company ran into licensing delays that were not resolved until now.Michelle Gilmour said it was possible that the Australian Space Agency “underestimated the time and resources” needed to evaluate the license application, particularly given the small size of the agency. “Ultimately, our priority, shared by the agency, is for a safe and successful launch. Taking the extra time to ensure that they are fully confident in our vehicle, flight path, and safety measures...

Worth watching for a laugh at liberal tears and craziness.

“Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?” (1 Corinthians 1:20). Knowing Christ makes the believer wiser than the world. Lawrence Toombs, in his 1955 article “O.T. Theology and the Wisdom Literature,” said, “Wisdom is to be found with God and nowhere else. And unless the quest for wisdom brings a man to his knees in awe and reverence, knowing his own helplessness to make himself wise, wisdom remains for him a closed book” (The Journal of Bible and Religion, 23:3 [July 1955], 195). It’s wonderful to have the book of God’s wisdom opened to us as believers....

Former President Barrack Obama blamed "a worldwide economic stagnation that disproportionately afflicted progressive regimes. Green initiatives focusing on public investment in environmentally friendly technologies failed to live up to expectations. Wherever they were tried goods became more scarce and prices rose. While us enlightened and unselfish folks are willing to pay whatever it takes to rescue the climate, the uneducated and greedy folks who aren't willing to pay voted for Trump." "The great tragedy is that the price controls, higher taxes, and subsidies that Vice-President Kamala Harris would've implemented had she won now won't even be attempted while Trump is...

This extended counting into oblivion cannot become normalized.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Former Los Angeles County Sheriff Jim McDonnell, who was sworn in as the chief of the Los Angeles Police Department on Friday, will draw one of the highest police chief salaries in the U.S. for a major city.... “I want to be unequivocal. LAPD will protect L.A.’s immigrant community. We will not cooperate with mass deportations and on an individual level, officers will not take action to determine a person’s immigration status and will not arrest them for that status,” McDonnell said. “Los Angeles is a city of immigrants, and my job is to protect this...

Cooper’s cause of death has not been revealed, but Women's Wear Daily reports she suffered from a brain hemorrhage as a result of long COVID.

With Republicans taking back control of the Senate and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell finally stepping down, three Senators have emerged as possible Majority Leaders. Two of them are RINOs—John Thune and John Cornyn—while Rick Scott may not have the support to prevent either “McConnell 2.0” from ascending. Senator Mike Lee has a plan. Well, it’s really just a theory combined with a wish, but it has a lot of conservatives wanting to sprinkle any fairy dust they can find on it so they can make it come true. The “John Adams Plan” would have Vice-President-Elect J.D. Vance ascend to the...

Following Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 United States presidential election, social media erupted in a storm of criticism after a professor's tweet claimed that "educated people vote blue," sparking a fierce debate about elitism, political polarization, and the broader culture wars in America. On November 6, 2024, a PhD professor in English, Sueanna Smith, penned a tweet on X suggesting that educated people tend to vote for the Democratic Party (blue), while the "uneducated" population is seen as hindering progress. "There is a reason why educated people vote blue. What we're seeing is the uneducated population of America holding...
