Eight years ago, there wasn't a soul brave enough to wear a MAGA hat through the streets of Manhattan, where liberals openly sobbed after Trump's shock election win. But it's a new day in America. Trump is back, bold and more popular than ever. And in the lefty safe haven of Manhattan, support for him is higher than ever.

In the months leading up to election day, pollsters were fixated on one demographic: young men. This group, often elusive in political data, was showing signs of a notable swing toward Donald Trump and away from the progressive viewpoints of young women. Traditionally a policy wonk, Richard Reeves became an unlikely media mainstay this election cycle, sought after by those trying to decode the concerns and motivations of these gen Z male voters. Reeves is president of the American Institute for Boys and Men, which he started in 2023 to create research-based approaches to bettering the education, mental health, and...

President Biden and President-elect Trump will meet in the Oval Office on Wednesday, the White House announced on Saturday. The meeting will be held at 11 a.m. local time, according to the statement from Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. Mr. Biden extended the invitation for the meeting. Such a meeting is customary between the outgoing president and the incoming president and is meant partly to mark the start of a peaceful transfer of power under America's democracy. However, Mr. Trump did not host Mr. Biden for a sit-down after the 2020 election, when Mr. Trump lost his reelection bid. Mr. Trump,...

Donald Trump and the Republican Party have made significant inroads among Latino voters. At the same time, vitriolic ads are continually being released that feature racist and demagogic depictions of immigrants, especially Latino ones. And, if you remember, despite Trump’s relentless anti-immigrant rhetoric, he won a higher percentage of the Latino vote in 2020 than he did in 2016. With less than 20 days to go until Election Day, immigration policy continues to be front and center as one of the most polarizing issues this year. What is driving the rise in far-right sentiment among Latinos? Paola Ramos is an...

Our long national nightmare is over. Donald Trump has been elected president again and life in the United States — and, indeed, the world — will never be the same again. Need further proof? Consider this selection of undeniable miracles that have taken place in just the short time since Trump won the election. 1. Feminists are shaving their heads so everyone can easily identify them: No more worrying about which women are shrill harpies. 2. McDonald's announced that the McRib would now be available permanently: No more shall anyone go without press-formed ambiguous meat patties. 3. Airline stewardesses are...

Germany's ruling coalition has collapsed after Chancellor Olaf Scholz dismissed Finance Minister Christian Lindner just hours after Donald Trump's US election win. The coalition collapsed due to disagreements over budget policy, with Lindner opposing tax hikes and debt increases. Scholz plans a parliamentary confidence vote on January 15, potentially leading to a snap election by March 2025. Germany’s conservative opposition leader Friedrich Merz said there's "absolutely no reason" to wait that long. "There is absolutely no reason to wait until January of next year to ask for a vote of confidence," he said. "The traffic light coalition no longer has...

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Biden administration's Justice Department (DOJ) on Friday, demanding that it provide records relating to Special Counsel Jack Smith’s corruption investigation into President-elect Trump. In a release, the Republican AG alleged that former Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who led a team investigating Trump regarding a false Trump-Russia election collaboration, "destroyed records." "Past Special Counsels, including — notoriously — Robert Mueller, destroyed records at the end of their investigations to avoid accountability," Paxton said in a release. "It is not clear why nobody was prosecuted for doing...

Control of the House has yet to be determined, as a number of critical races remain too close to call, leaving lawmakers — and voters — waiting to see which party will hold the majority next year. The sprint to 218 seats, however, is nearing the final stretch, after a handful of additional races were called in the days following election night. Republicans had secured 216 seats in the lower chamber as of Friday evening, with Democrats trailing at 208 seats, according to Decision Desk HQ. A total of 11 races have not yet been called: Democrats are leading in...

In the weekend before the November 5 elections, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) sent a SWAT team to raid the home of Mark Longo and his wife Daniela. The couple run a nonprofit wildlife sanctuary wildlife sanctuary in New York State called P'Nut's Freedom Farm. Seven years ago, the Longos rescued an injured squirrel that they named P'Nut. P'Nut, and later Fred the raccoon, became internet sensations on Instagram and TikTok. A self-described Biden supporter from Texas saw these animals on TikTok and lodged a complaint with New York state authorities. Mark and Daniela were kept...

In the wake of the U.S. presidential election, which saw a return to power of Donald Trump, European leaders at the Political Community summit in Budapest this week reiterated their stance that the EU must stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes. Ireland’s prime minister, Simon Harris, said this in a resolute statement:The US had its election, and it made its decision but that doesn’t change European values, and European values around the importance of the UN Charter, the importance of territorial integrity remain. However, if championing the importance of territorial integrity was a paramount European value, should...

VIDEOThere is a lot of TDS pain out there due to the re-election of President Donald J. Trump. The good news is that there is a solution that can permanently end the pain of TDS victims. It is the Mother Ship solution offered by the Heaven's Gate guy who has returned to Planet Earth on the Hale-Bopp comet (or is it the Be-Bopp comet?) to offer solace to the TDS afflicted.

Misha Petrov (Conservative Gen Z'er) Reacts to Feminist Meltdowns Over Trump’s Victory [video, language]

More than 50% of voters for Vice President Kamala Harris say they want to move following Trump's victory in the 2024 presidential election, according to a survey commissioned by StorageUnits.com.

Of those surveyed, 44% would like to move, but probably won't, while 5% said they will definitely move and another 5% said they probably will. Those who would like to move, but probably won't, cited personal...

Senate Dems are furiously debating whether to pressure US Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, a 70-year-old diabetic, into resigning so they can try to confirm another jurist before President-elect Donald Trump takes office, a new report says. Members of the upper chamber’s Democratic caucus broached the sensitive topic after Trump’s electoral landslide Tuesday, according to Politico. A former Senate Democratic aide told The Post it’s a fool’s errand to think Sotomayer would step aside and the Senate would be able to confirm a Democratic replacement in time. “That’s insane. That’s not going to happen,” the source said. “If Sotomayor were...

President-elect Donald Trump officially won Nevada on Saturday, closing out the last of the coveted seven swing states, Politico has confirmed. Trump won a solid 3 percentage point victory over Vice President Kamala Harris in the Silver State, 50.7% to 47.4%. The win raises Trump's electoral vote total to 312 over Harris' 226.
