In the Senate, with Mitch McConnell leaving his leadership role, there were three competitors to replace him: Rick Scott of Florida, John Thune of South Dakota, and John Cornyn of Texas. Hardcore MAGA firebrand Mike Lee or bomb-thrower Rand Paul weren’t even considered. Of the three considered, two are virtual Democrats, with the Conservative Review giving Cornyn a Liberty Score of 54% and Thune an abysmal 51%, while Scott scored a respectable 86%.

A Senate of Benedict Arnolds
A Senate of Benedict Arnolds: Ostensibly, Trump should have a mandate given that he won the popular vote and the Electoral College, gave the GOP a Senate majority, and kept the majority in the House. The first test of that mandate came last week, and it didn’t go particularly well.
How blue-collar America went red
How blue-collar America went red: You’ve heard of Revenge of the Nerds. The 2024 election of Donald Trump was the Revenge of the Blue-Collar Americans.
Let’s face it: this was a long time coming. Ever since the start of the Industrial Revolution and burgeoning technology, the blue-collar worker in America has been marginalized, forgotten, and talked down to.
Biden's venal and dangerous exit gambit
Biden's venal and dangerous exit gambit: The talking heads, nattering nabobs, and media wizards wondered why Biden was all smiles when he met with Trump.
Joe Rogan opined that the smile was because Biden secretly voted for Trump. No, Joe. Biden was smiling gleefully because as he met with Trump, his dripping-toothed, foul-breath toadies were busy authorizing Ukraine's President Volodymr Zelensky to launch U.S. missiles into Russia, a dangerous move that might prompt retaliation here, and could ultimately unbalance power and destabilize the world.
Will Trump finally end the socialist scourge in America?
Will Trump finally end the socialist scourge in America?: It is true that Trump holds a unique pull and, therefore, can draw many to vote Republican, but one day, he’ll be gone, leaving many Americans vulnerable to the mainstream media. While MSNBC has lost much credibility, as evidenced by its recent viewership loss, other news outlets controlled by the left, including NBC, CNN, and the New York Times, still have faithful followings.
Now that Trump has won, how to talk to your liberal friends
Now that Trump has won, how to talk to your liberal friends: For many if not most of your liberal friends (that is if you have any left) the world has just come to an end.
Many are either in a state of deep depression, even deeper denial or worse.
This is especially true of your older friends who were so looking forward to seeing the sun set on their lives under a Democrat president – proof that there was indeed a God that they could meet as they took that last step towards eternity.
Illegal vote-counting continues in Pennsylvania, and even the Democrat governor calls out the cheating
Illegal vote-counting continues in Pennsylvania, and even the Democrat governor calls out the cheating: Democrats have said they never challenge elections and elections are clean and pure, but these lies have been on clear display in Pennsylvania for days. County election counters even bragged that they were ignoring the law.
After days of cheating ...
Polls: Transparent elections important to majority of Americans
Polls: Transparent elections important to majority of Americans: It turns out that most Americans want election measures that call for transparency, according to the November 18 Rasmussen Poll on “election integrity.”

How to Cut $2 Trillion of Fat from the Federal Budget
How to Cut $2 Trillion of Fat from the Federal Budget A goal of $2 trillion of budget savings is crucial to the future of Constitutional democracy and capitalist prosperity in America. The Federal budget threatens to become a self-fueling financial doomsday machine. So more power to Musk and Ramaswamy.
Why the DOGE initiative makes sense
Why the DOGE initiative makes sense: In an era marked by federal fiscal irresponsibility, the announcement of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), spearheaded by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy under President-elect Trump's upcoming administration, is not just a policy proposal; it's a clarion call for a revolution in governance.
The United States, once the beacon of economic freedom, is now staggering under a debt load that threatens to crush the very foundations of our prosperity. The DOGE, while not a traditional department but an advisory council, represents more than a mere attempt at cost-cutting; it is a profound statement about reclaiming the ethos of limited government, accountability, and economic prudence.
Biden’s authorizing Ukraine to fire long-range missiles smells like a preemptive military coup
Biden’s authorizing Ukraine to fire long-range missiles smells like a preemptive military coup: Biden’s surprise decision on Sunday, November 17, 2024, to authorize Ukraine to utilize long-range U.S. missiles capable of reaching 186 miles into Russia requires explanation. (As of this writing, Ukraine has already fired a missile into Russia.) Does the U.S. military believe that allowing Ukraine to fire a few U.S.-manufactured Army Tactical Missile systems (“ATACMS”) into Russia will win the war for Ukraine? Or is Biden’s decision evidence that the United States is in a military coup d’etat aimed at escalating the war in Ukraine so Donald Trump will not be able to settle the war should he manage to be inaugurated in approximately two months, on January 20, 2025?
No one should believe economists — they are apologists for bad policies
No one should believe economists — they are apologists for bad policies: This article in USA Today is so full of misinformation that it’s hard to know where to start. They work very hard to absolve Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and their policies for the rapid rise in inflation — but the actual evidence shows how re...
Election Integrity Win: Swing State Supreme Court Drops Huge Ruling, Making Top Democrat's Loss Even Worse
Election Integrity Win: Swing State Supreme Court Drops Huge Ruling, Making Top Democrat's Loss Even Worse: The Pennsylvania Supreme Court directed Pennsylvania counties on Monday not to count mail-in ballots that violated state law.

Another Democrat war handed to Republicans to end
Another Democrat war handed to Republicans to end: Today, the situation in Ukraine is morphing into a 21st century version of that same Vietnam-era scenario. Starting in 2021, the view from Moscow was that Biden was weak, given our 2021 debacle of a withdrawal from Afghanistan, which prompted Russian President Vladimir Putin to invade Ukraine, a land most Russians believe is part of their land and a necessary buffer from the expansion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
The Obamas Get Their Comeuppance
The Obamas Get Their Comeuppance: The one person who knew that the Joe Biden presidency was something other than “Obama’s third term” was Barack Obama. If Obama had any illusions about his control over events, he was rudely disabused of them on July 21, 2024. This was the Sunday on which Biden dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Kamala Harris.
The Trump Dream Team
The Trump Dream Team: Another Dream Team is being assembled in Washington, D.C., under Coach Donald Trump. It, too, is arguably the best (or worst) administration ever built, depending on one’s political persuasion and whether one might be in the crosshairs (figuratively, for the censorship cranks – I am not calling for shooting anyone) of administration officials or cabinet secretaries.
Democrats openly cheating in Pennsylvania, will anyone stop them?
Democrats openly cheating in Pennsylvania, will anyone stop them?: Democrats, as is clearly being illustrated in Pennsylvania, do not care about the rule of law. They do not care about court orders. And they sure as hell don’t care about the will of the people. Far from wanting to save our democracy, they fervently wish to subvert it. Anarcho-tyranny is fine with them as long as the anarchy serves their interests, and they are the tyrants. This is why they have openly admitted to counting disqualified ballots despite the fact that doing so contravenes state law, court order, and the will of the majority of the state’s voters.

Citizens demand investigations of hospital COVID deaths
Citizens demand investigations of hospital COVID deaths: State legislators and other officials and citizens need to strongly support the efforts of hundreds of citizens living in five states who are demanding that their states’ attorneys general conduct a thorough investigation of alleged crimes committed against their lost loved ones during the recent COVID-19 pandemic. The crimes were allegedly committed by hospital staffs and officials (such as Dr. Anthony Fauci) who promulgated and implemented hospital treatment protocols for COVID patients that included, among other things, the administration of the drug remdesivir.
One theory for the Democrats’ catastrophic loss
One theory for the Democrats’ catastrophic loss: Now that the Democrats’ humiliating electoral defeat has gone into the record books, the remaining processes are beginning to unfold. The driving force for this is not Mr. Trump’s popularity or Harris-Walz’s lack thereof. It is the long overdue awakening of the formerly free-living American public to the accumulated tyranny of the modern mega-state.
Various justifications have been offered for this persecution of the general public. Most conspicuous is the grossly hyperbolic threat of catastrophic “climate change.” In California and at least eleven other states, unelected agency functionaries have issued complete bans on new fossil-fueled motor vehicles, to occur within the conceivable future.
Kamala’s billion-dollar campaign
Kamala’s billion-dollar campaign: Kamala Harris’s catastrophic campaign for president launched on July 21, 2024, when the Democrats unceremoniously dethroned Joe Biden and installed Harris as their nominee. The campaign came to a crashing end on Nov. 5, 2024, lasting only 107 days.
In these 107 days, it was reported that the Harris campaign has spent over $1 billion. You read that correctly: the figure is $1 billion.
The campaign spent roughly $9.3 million per day.
What was the outcome?
Harris lost all the swing states, the Electoral College, and the popular vote. She won 382 counties, whereas President Trump won six times more — i.e., 2,552 counties.
The Constitution and the administrative state
The Constitution and the administrative state: As the news coverage of Donald Trump’s cabinet selections has shouldered aside news coverage about Democrat loser hysteria, a silent Tenth Amendment puzzle is haunting the Trump true believer. This apprehension arises as department heads are appointed to the bureaucracy without mention, observation, or apparent awareness that much of what the administrative agencies do is blatantly unconstitutional.
Democrats will continue to obstruct
Democrats will continue to obstruct: Donald Trump is having such a grand time selecting the people for his administration, while the Democrats are tearing out their hair at each new pick, especially two of the most recent ones: Matt Gaetz and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
And even though Trump won the election fair and square, Democrats in their usual obstructionist and hateful ways will do as much as they can to stop his appointments and his new policies.
Friday, November 15, 2024
The Gaetz appointment is a masterstroke
The Gaetz appointment is a masterstroke: Lisa Murkowski is itching to vote against firebrand Matt Gaetz as attorney general. She may not get the chance. If the new Senate leadership recesses the Senate for three days, Gaetz can take office as a recess appointment, circumventing the confirmation process. It remains to be seen if Senate Majority Leader John Thune will play ball.
The Gaetz appointment is a giant middle finger to those in the Justice Department who have harassed Trump since before he took office in 2017. It started with the Russia hoax, and it's been going on nonstop for eight years. The final straw came when the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago, including searching Melania's bedroom, purportedly looking for evidence of a crime.
Democrats denied the pain of Bidenomics, and it cost them Congress and the White House
Democrats denied the pain of Bidenomics, and it cost them Congress and the White House: If the media and other Democrats would like to understand why they lost, all they would have to do is look at what average people have experienced over the past four years as the government has grown in size and power, and the purchasing power of the dollar has been destroyed. Yet still, Democrats were advocating for bigger government and more taxes to solve the problems they have caused. (What we need is a much smaller government, and a majority of voters agreed.)
They tried to say that President Trump’s tariffs would cost families an extra $4,000 per year, but that’s a theoretical prediction that is no doubt a vast overestimate.
DOGE: Waste, Fraud, and Abuse in Government are Not the Problem -- Bureaucratic Power is
DOGE: Waste, Fraud, and Abuse in Government are Not the Problem -- Bureaucratic Power is: Many are dancing an Irish jig – even non-Irishmen whom one would not expect to know such dances – over the prospect of Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy heading up a new “Grace Commission 2.0” of sorts, cheerfully nicknamed a Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.
They intend an 18-month project, hopefully to conclude by our nation’s 250th anniversary, in which they will apply standard American manufacturing cost-cutting techniques such as LEAN and Six Sigma tools, to find out how much fat is in every federal department, bureau and agency, and cut it out as fast as possible.

The Biggest Blunder in the History of American Politics
The Biggest Blunder in the History of American Politics: The biggest blunder in the history of American politics was the premeditated, unabashed, and overt theft of the 2020 presidential election by the Democrat Party, the legacy media, and their fellow left-wing elitists in the Ruling Class as that alliance failed to create an unquestioned landslide defeat of Donald Trump and were thus, forced into the impossible task of placating the extreme left-wing faction of the coalition. This blunder set the stage for the 2024 Trump landslide and hastened the demise of the Democrat Party and the legacy media.
This cabal further compounded the original blunder of overtly stealing the 2020 election and being compelled into an alliance with the radical Left by adopting unprecedented lawfare against Donald Trump, insisting that an obviously addled Joe Biden be the Democrat nominee, ousting Biden four months before the election, and choreographing the nomination of the unlikeable and vacuous Kamala Harris.
Now is the right time in our country’s history to release the JFK files
Now is the right time in our country’s history to release the JFK files: On these pages and elsewhere, writers have offered compelling evidence of another shooter and possible U.S. intelligence community involvement in JFK’s assassination, while other writers have rejected this narrative because too many people would have had to know and someone in the know would have spilled the beans.
I don’t know enough to comment on the former, but I do have thoughts on the latter.
Democrats vow to obstruct President-Elect Trump again
Democrats vow to obstruct President-Elect Trump again: Democrats are on the record as vowing to obstruct Donald Trump’s second term. Just like they did his first one.
This is election-interference. It is an in-your-face pledge to negate the will of the American people, who overwhelmingly voted for Trump. (Trump won in a near landslide, winning the Electoral College 312-226…and the popular vote by more than three million.) It is, in fact, an assault on our democracy. Which should be ironic to anyone who hasn’t yet seen today’s Democrats for what they are: power-hungry elitists who believe they know better than you do on how to run your life...and that of everyone else who doesn’t reside in their “insolated,” big-city coastal bubbles. Democrats’ motto should be “Let them eat cake.” Or maybe bugs. But definitely not meat.
Tom Homan is a man out for justice
Tom Homan is a man out for justice: From the first time I saw Tom Homan interviewed on Fox News, I was so impressed by his determination to protect the border of our country. For him, the goals were all about border security and national security, and nothing could excuse illegal migrants breaking our laws. His fervor about this invasion of our country was second only to President Trump, even in Trump’s first term, and he is resolute about deporting those people who have been allowed to cross our borders illegally, thanks to the policies of the Biden administration.
Thus, we are fortunate that almost immediately following the November 5 election, Donald Trump anointed Tom Holman the “border czar.” He will not require Senate confirmation, and will rely on the cooperation of Department heads to support his plans. Since Trump just stated today that he will appoint Kristi Noem, governor of South Dakota, who is a stalwart supporter of border security, I foresee her working well with Holman, as will likely other Department heads.
With Trump’s win, wokism is down, but it’s definitely not out
With Trump’s win, wokism is down, but it’s definitely not out: Nathan Cofnas is a fellow in Philosophy at Cambridge and a blogger, who has written a detailed essay showing how Marxist socialist collectivist wokism, with all its racialist elements, is alive and well. Despite Trump’s victory, it’s not going anywhere. The commitment that the leftist elites and chattering classes have to the ideology holds strong. Cofnas says that the idea that wokism has peaked and will go away is “flawed... [S]ocial justice warriors are in our boardrooms, universities, and government bureaucracies putting their ideology into practice.”

Trump 2.0 Is a Reckoning For Democrats, But the Battle Is Not Over
Trump 2.0 Is a Reckoning For Democrats, But the Battle Is Not Over: Now, I ask a simple question. What in the name of Saint Peter changed over the last decade with the Democrat party? Most critical-thinking people who are grinding away at work and home life, who normally do not care to think about politics, who have voted the Democrat ticket like their ancestors going back to FDR, now realize that the new Democrat party has morphed into Alice in Wonderland, flying monkeys, and psychedelic leftism over the last decade.
Is Clint Eastwood Being Targeted for his Political Leanings?
Is Clint Eastwood Being Targeted for his Political Leanings?: What has baffled admirers of Eastwood and industry observers is how Warner Brothers mishandled the cinema distribution of the film. Released on November 1, the film is currently playing in fewer than 50 cinemas across the U.S.
Are Americans finally noticing media bias and propaganda?
Are Americans finally noticing media bias and propaganda?: Looks as though the bias in mass media has caught up with them. They overplayed their hand. According to a recent Gallup poll, only 52% of Democrats, 27% of independents and 12% of Republicans trust mass media. Younger people trust mass media less than older.
Don’t allow yourself to become upset with the talking heads in mass media. Feel sorry for them. They are truly lost. And the vast majority don’t believe their biases masked as news.
There is an innate defense mechanism in all humans that warns them of danger. Lies denote danger to a person, and that triggers a response. Human nature registers a lie as manipulation, the liar is trying to gain an advantage unethically and thereby seeks control over the individual. Lies, deceit, and propaganda last for only so long.
Normal people versus bureaucrats
Normal people versus bureaucrats: Supreme Court justice Neil Gorsuch is a constitutional scholar. Gorsuch was instrumental in repealing the Chevron Doctrine.
Chevron, passed in 1984, amassed incredible powers to the office of the president, his Administrative State, and bureaucrats. The entire regulatory apparatus grew like a cancer and spread the disease of a more powerful central government at the expense of individual freedom.
The Deep State War Against Donald Trump Begins
The Deep State War Against Donald Trump Begins: In a video posted on X on November 7, 2024, two days after the election, Trump detailed a plan to dismantle the Deep State. In this three-minute video, Trump explained how he would take a series of measures to “shatter the Deep State.”
In this video, Trump made the same mistake JFK made when JFK said he was going to break the CIA into a thousand pieces after the Bay of Pigs fiasco. By announcing his intention in advance, JFK signed his death warrant. Trump has now declared war on the Deep State as president-elect.
Because he spoke before he was inaugurated, giving him the power to act, Trump alerted the Deep State that he represented an existential threat to its survival. The bottom line is that the Deep State cannot afford for Trump to become president on January 20, 2025.

Where can the leftists go?
Where can the leftists go?: Our economy needs skilled workers, but many of the progressives who constitute the disaffected Harris contingent likely burrow into unproductive government jobs, or become social workers aiding and abetting illegal aliens. They won’t be missed all that much; heck, our economic productivity may even increase in their absence. After all, we now have a builder president, and many of his supporters are equally constructive on America.
As for their preferred destinations, Canada and the United Kingdom make some sense -- from a leftist viewpoint, that is. Both countries rank reasonably highly on various ranking metrics. For what it’s worth, both score reasonably well in the United Nations Human Development Index, which purports to measure achievements in health, education and standard of living.
A real border czar: Thank goodness President Trump gave us Tom Homan
A real border czar: Thank goodness President Trump gave us Tom Homan: In what must have been the most welcome and heartily necessary appointment, President Trump announced that Tom Homan would serve as his border czar.
How media fail
How media fail: Of all the institutions that have failed us in past years, none has been worse than the media. I am specifically referring to the news organizations and not those who clearly identify themselves as opinion journalism. I have no issue with a Morning Joe, Rachel Maddow, Sean Hannity, or Laura Ingraham who are at least honestly bringing their points of view to their programming. I am, however, faulting the traditional news stations (ABC, CBS, NBC) and folks like Jake Tapper and Wolf Blitzer who pretend to be objective.
These organizations are guilty of acts of omission as well as commission.
Why Does the Left Want to Scrap the Constitution?
Why Does the Left Want to Scrap the Constitution?: For years, reforming the Constitution has been a misguided conservative issue. Downplaying the danger of a runaway convention, impatient conservatives have campaigned to ask the states to call a Constitutional Convention (Con-Con) to consider reforms and amendments that might address their many legitimate concerns.
Now, leftists are appearing on the reform horizon, calling for major constitutional changes.

November 5th was a great day for women
November 5th was a great day for women: Women have traditionally been herded into regressive policies by hysterical hype over misogyny, which is always linked to their rights, abortion, and race. To make matters worse, their votes are taken for granted by the left.
As the tabulations continue to show, though, Donald Trump won 52% of white women voters who put national security, economics, and immigration issues over gender and race. In fact, additional information discloses that seven percent of black women voted for Donald Trump.
Did celebrities have to be paid to endorse Kamala?
Did celebrities have to be paid to endorse Kamala?: Even those of us who were appalled by Kamala Harris’s campaign, the ever more embarrassing interviews during which she could not answer the simplest of questions unless they were what she ate for breakfast, did not realize that employing celebrity endorsers cost millions of dollars. Most of us probably assumed that those who graced her rally stages or interviewed her for television or podcasts did so because they actually supported her. We were wrong.
Many of them — even Oprah, who is worth three billion dollars — got paid to interview her. She got one million (h/t Jesse Watters). Cardi B got $2.5M. Beyoncé allegedly got even more and did not even sing.
These super-rich star endorsers deny this, of course, and the posts that revealed the payments have been removed. But it makes sense.
How Badly Harris Lost and Why
How Badly Harris Lost and Why: Donald Trump appears to have been the first Republican in 20 years to win the popular vote.
Scouring the internet, the only Democrat figure who seems to be smiling is President Joe Biden. For the others, it seems to be a time of mourning. A look at the results, their implications, and the machinations of the federal bureaucracy is in order.
7 Lessons for Democrats to Learn
7 Lessons for Democrats to Learn: The left is in a mad scramble of attempting to assign blame for Kamala’s staggering defeat. Leftists have pointed fingers at one another and even blamed the constituents they claim they represent. What is amazing is that they refuse to hold up a collective mirror and look at themselves as the root cause of their failure in this election.
The reasons for the loss were relatively simple.
Trump 2.0's Team
Trump 2.0's Team: There is an old joke that goes as follows:
What do you call a place full of immoral, sleazy, selfish opportunists, hypocrites, flatterers, chameleons, backstabbers, and cowards?
The answer: Washington D.C.
Let the Reckoning Begin
Let the Reckoning Begin: President-elect (that does have a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?) Donald Trump delivered a shock and awe election victory on November 5. Those most surprised are the corporate media, Hollywood, and the paid Democrat X-shills, all living in their social media bubbles.
I wasn’t terribly surprised, as I have been tracking the polls on these pages for some time. Aside from the numbers, enthusiasm was on Trump’s side, culminating in four rallies the day before the election, which ended in the wee hours of the morning.

January 20: A partial wish list
January 20: A partial wish list: Supreme Court justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, both of whom belong on the Mount Rushmore of Supreme Court justices, have earned a well-deserved retirement. (Preferably, Chief Justice John Roberts retires as well). Let’s get three young constitutional conservatives confirmed to the SCOTUS while we still have a majority GOP senate.
The election had nothing to do with racism and sexism… unless they’re referring to the Democrats
The election had nothing to do with racism and sexism… unless they’re referring to the Democrats: The Democrats always play the race and sex cards when campaigning for office; now a huge number are falsely blaming racism and sexism for President Trump’s victory.
It is demonstrably easy to show that Trump’s win had nothing to do with race and sex but was instead based on policies.
In 2020, Trump received 74 million votes, running against a white man, and this year he received around 73 million votes, running against a black woman. I would challenge anyone to do a simple analysis and show the evidence that the votes had anything to do with Kamala’s sex or race.
Winners and losers in Trump’s America
Winners and losers in Trump’s America: With Donald Trump’s victory on Tuesday, leftists have ramped up the fear campaign — suggesting that the president is going to go full fascist, locking up women, gays, black and brown people, journalists, his political opponents, ad infinitum.
All nonsense, but there will be winners and losers in the Trump 47 era.
In the winners column, first and foremost is Donald Trump himself. He was robbed in 2020 and had the wherewithal to persevere through a mountain of lawfare, attacks on his family and businesses, and two assassination attempts to come out stronger than when he began the journey.
Trump (MAGA) followers were vindicated. It turns out they are not Nazis, but represent a broad cross-section of hardworking, “normal,” everyday Americans.
The Democrats Have Been Kamalished
The Democrats Have Been Kamalished: Kamalish (kah-MOLL-ish) verb, to politically self-destruct from within. Rhymes with demolish. Earliest use, c. 2024.
Democrats didn’t just lose an election, they lost a political party, the world’s oldest. Founded in 1828, Democrats will sow chaos no more. The Civil War’s perpetrators have finally come undone.

Democrats spent far more in swing states... and still lost every single one: The blessing of Tuesday just keeps amplifying.

Bye bye, Barack
Bye bye, Barack: Maybe former President Obama got the message when he spoke to African Americans in Philadelphia. The thrill is gone. The racialist policies just don't work anymore. People are tired of hearing sermons from former presidents with mansions and First Ladies who sent their kids to expensive private schools.

Breaking Report: Jack Smith and His Cases Against Trump Are Headed for the Exit: The Department of Justice will reportedly be shutting down special counsel Jack Smith's two federal criminal cases against Donald Trump.
The Folly of Medicare for All
The Folly of Medicare for All: Medicare is not free.
The Medicare payroll tax started in 1966 for private and corporate employers, their employees, and those who were self-employed at that time. Federal employees didn’t start paying Medicare taxes until 1983. Most retirees currently claiming Medicare have contributed throughout their lifetime, and monthly contributions continue to be taken out of Social Security benefits based on the previous year’s income. At the end of last year, it was announced that 2024 Medicare monthly premiums were going up 14.5 percent, and the Medicare Part B deductible is also increasing by $30. Early estimates indicate that the 2025 increase may be five to ten percent. The cost of expensive Medicare supplemental policies increase as we age and don’t cover everything — especially costly prescriptions.
Trump’s Electrifying, World-Changing Victory
Trump’s Electrifying, World-Changing Victory: It was exactly 1:38 A.M. today that Bret Baier on Fox News said that it was clear “that the next president of the United States of America would be Donald J. Trump.”
Not taking a micrometer of credit away from President Trump 47 and his epically tireless, passionate, often hilariously funny, and brave — in spite of three assassination attempts and then a fourth death threat — countrywide, night-after-night, week-after-week, month-after-month, year-after-year campaign.
Recapping the slimy ‘celebs’ who said they’d off themselves or flee America with a Trump victory
Recapping the slimy ‘celebs’ who said they’d off themselves or flee America with a Trump victory: I’m starting a list, just to make sure that we don’t forget anyone, containing the names of the “celebrities” who promised to off themselves or flee the U.S., in the event of a President Trump victory.
Well, for what are they waiting? Have at it you jackasses, times to get going! Also, where can I tune in to watch the festivities? I kid… kind of.
The New Trump Era
The New Trump Era: Now that that’s settled and Trump has achieved what seems to be a comfortable victory, from a historical perspective, there’s some virtue in killing all of your enemies, at least figuratively. Julius Caesar didn’t and was killed almost immediately after having himself declared dictator for life.
The Greatest Comeback of All Time
The Greatest Comeback of All Time: The “experts” said it couldn’t be done. They called him a “loser” and an “illegitimate” president whose time in office should be stricken from the pages of history. Political pundits said his refusal to accept the mail-in-ballot-fraud-tainted 2020 election results made him an “insurrectionist” and a “dangerous threat to democracy.” Democrat prosecutors and judges threw his supporters in jail. Democrat operatives in the FBI and DOJ insinuated that he is a “Russian spy” and “domestic enemy” who should be convicted of treason. The most hoity-toity “reporters” from the fanciest newspapers in the land said that Americans would never elect a criminal defendant facing the possibility of life in prison. All of the “very best people” from the “most respected institutions” told us that Donald Trump’s political comeback was impossible.

President Trump ‘the convicted felon’ gets to vote… thanks to a relatively new Democrat law
President Trump ‘the convicted felon’ gets to vote… thanks to a relatively new Democrat law: Glorious, glorious comeuppance, and divine schadenfreude.
Mainstream media operatives at both CNN and The New York Times find themselves in a distraught state today because President Donald Trump still gets to vote in the election despite being a ...
Fight! Fight! Fight! Vs. Fake, Fake, Fake
Fight! Fight! Fight! Vs. Fake, Fake, Fake: The most iconic image of the 2024 campaign came from the Butler Farm Show Grounds in Pennsylvania on July 13. An assassin had just fired multiple shots at President Trump, wounding him in the ear. Secret Service agents scrambled to shield the president, while counter-snipers neutralized the shooter. As members of his security detail began to briskly move him from the stage where he was speaking, President Trump asked them to stop so that he could reassure supporters he was alive and well. With blood streaked across his face and pooling near one side of his mouth, he stretched a closed fist toward a blue sky with an American flag waving just behind his head and shouted to all who could hear, “Fight! Fight! Fight!”
The Case for Trump
The Case for Trump: The key factors to evaluate anyone running for political office are the record, the current pledges, claims by adversaries, the motivation for running, the campaign, and above all the individual.
We first begin with President Trump.
The economic boom under Trump led to historic growth and record-low unemployment across demographics. America gained seven million new jobs causing the unemployment rate to be 3.5%, the lowest in a half-century.
Inflation and the price of fuel were under control. For the first time in nearly 70 years, America become a net energy exporter.
The industrial and farming heartland was revived. 1.2 million manufacturing and construction jobs were created.
The Dow closed above 20,000 for the first time in 2017 and topped 30,000 in 2020. The middle class received much-needed tax cuts that boosted savings.
Illegal immigration was down. Trump appointed three conservative judges to the Supreme Court. The hegemony of China was successfully challenged.

KENNY CODY: Only Trump can bring America unity and sanity
KENNY CODY: Only Trump can bring America unity and sanity At this critical juncture, there is only one solution to unify the United States: electing Donald Trump and Senator JD Vance as President and Vice President.
JOHN MAC GHLIONN: Kamala Harris is the enemy of middle class America
JOHN MAC GHLIONN: Kamala Harris is the enemy of middle class America "When she promises to uplift the middle class, it’s nothing more than a bald-faced lie — a skill at which she has proven herself adept. Only a fool would vote for Kamala Harris."
American Jews are shifting to the right
American Jews are shifting to the right: A great deal of ink has been spent on discussing the changes in minority communities for this election. Several of them -- Hispanics and Blacks in particular -- are leaving the Democrat Party and planning to vote for Republicans. This is great news not just for conservatives, but for the country.
But one minority group remains in the background with little commentary: the Jews. As many people may know, the Jews have been grounded in the Democrat Party ever since they came to this country. They have prided themselves on standing up for the poverty-stricken, for those who are the downtrodden, for those who are unable to find their way ahead in this country.
But times are changing.
With a True Vote Count, Trump Wins in a Landslide
With a True Vote Count, Trump Wins in a Landslide : Everybody is being implored to get out and vote. We also hear appeals that this year’s November 5 election is the most important election in America’s history. Let us be clear why that statement is true and why every citizen needs to vote.
People forget that America is matchless in all human history. Prior to the birth of America with its founding documents -- the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution -- it was the state that determined the subjects’ rights. And those rights could change at the whim of whoever wielded government power. The world lived in shades of darkness, until the light came through America.
If you choose life, you must choose Trump
If you choose life, you must choose Trump: Based on his record and current pledges, President Trump is a staunchly pro-life president, not just the life of the unborn but of the child, and the adult.
It's simple: if you choose life, you choose Trump.
Pennsylvania television station declares Kamala Harris the winner…on October 27th
Pennsylvania television station declares Kamala Harris the winner…on October 27th: Pennsylvania’s WNEP-TV, a local ABC affiliate, surprised its viewers during last Sunday’s broadcast of the Formula 1 Mexico Grand Prix. How so, you ask? By reporting that, with “100%” of the vote tallied, Democrat Kamala Harris had defeated Republican Donald Trump in the 2024 Presidential Election by garnering 52% of the vote. This was particularly shocking since the date was October 27th—and Election Day isn’t until November 5th.
Was this simply wishful thinking—or something more nefarious? What if, after “100%” of the actual vote is tallied, Harris ends up winning with 52% of that vote? Curious? Ironic? Also inexplicable? Or pre-rigged?
Harris-Biden try to put the US under United Nations sovereignty
Harris-Biden try to put the US under United Nations sovereignty: When five different people send you a link, you know that something very important has happened, even if the drive-by media aren’t trumpeting it on their outlets. In this case, it’s Robert Williams’ report at the Gatestone Institute that, in September, the Harris-Biden administration, without fanfare, adopted a UN pact that gives the UN and the World Economic Forum (“WEF”) control over American speech, foreign policy, and, possibly, internal sovereignty. Thankfully, while the administration can sign someone’s name on the dotted line, the Constitution means that signature is invalid. But we’re not in the clear: That invalidity works only if we don’t have a government that acts as if the UN pact applies.

Kamala is actually dumber than she looks
Kamala is actually dumber than she looks:Kamala may actually be the epitome of the willfully ignorant political person. Censorship and ridiculously false characterizations are the usual weapons at her disposal, when reality is the actual problem. In his first term, because of his extensive real-world business experience, Trump was quite effective at improving the standard of living of the lower echelons of American society. Though ridiculously characterized as benefiting the über-rich capitalistic fat cats, this blatantly showcased the truly harmful ignorance of his opponents — that is, until a man-made pathogen “escaped” a Chinese laboratory.
Trump's Middle-Class Realignment
Trump's Middle-Class Realignment: Donald Trump has realigned the Republican party’s base and correspondingly reshaped the Democratic party’s traditional core. Of course, the full extent -- and the efficacy -- of his reshuffling the two parties’ electoral structures will only be fully seen next week. But even today anyone can see that Vice President Harris is campaigning oblivious to this sea change in the electorate.

November Surprise: Last Jobs Report Before Election Is a Complete 'Disaster,' Shows Worst Numbers in Years
November Surprise: Last Jobs Report Before Election Is a Complete 'Disaster,' Shows Worst Numbers in Years A disastrous jobs report for Democrats. And Kamala Harris is promising 4 more years of the same?
Reclaim the West
Reclaim the West Eric Metaxas explains that the Spiral of Silence is “the idea that as the price to speak rises, fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer yet will speak out, until a whole culture is silenced.”
Yes, We Can Shrink The Size And Cost Of Government
Yes, We Can Shrink The Size And Cost Of Government: One of President Trump’s goals is to reduce the size and cost of government, a heady and necessary project. The first step is for We the People to return Donald Trump to the Chief Executive’s chair and to give him a Congress that will approve his appointees with alacrity and pass his budget proposal. Time is very short, with the FY-2026 budget submission right around the corner. Only massive, immediate changes will meet the goal. Team Trump should be ready to run on Day One.
It will take at least a year to transition to a tidier government because meeting notification requirements, amending and canceling contracts, working with unions and RIF requirements, planning to consolidate infrastructure, and disposing of excess property will all take time.
Why does the political establishment hate Trump?
Why does the political establishment hate Trump?: The short answer to that question comes from George Orwell: “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.” Packed into that pithy aphorism is the explanation of the bitter struggle centering on the person of President Donald J. Trump.
The Media's Mammoth Thumb on the Electoral Scale
The Media's Mammoth Thumb on the Electoral Scale: The problem isn’t that Democrats openly and habitually lie about Donald Trump on a regular basis.
The problem is that the media uses subliminal messaging to reinforce those lies. They are not fair, neutral arbiters. The media are Democrats, by and large.
For example, Democrat strategist Aisha Mills recently appeared on Erin Burnett’s show on CNN and blatantly lied about a recent comment from Trump, claiming he’d said that illegal immigrants to the U.S. brought in a lot of “bad genes” among other things.

Once Joyful Harris Now Goes the Full McCarthyite
Once Joyful Harris Now Goes the Full McCarthyite Victor Davis Hanson: Harris is now confirming to voters that she really can neither think nor speak well and has no consistent agenda that appeals to the middle class.
The death toll from illegal immigration grows by the day
MARIA ESPINOZA: The death toll from illegal immigration grows by the day Every American who dies at the hands of an illegal immigrant is a victim of both a heinous crime and a system of illicit, government-sponsored trafficking that will continue to take the lives of our citizens as long as it continues. Unfortunately, that death toll just grew higher, thanks to the preventable deaths of even more Americans: this time at the hands of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) their very tax dollars support.
Prominent Pastor Urges Followers to Vote for Donald Trump
Prominent Pastor Refutes Those Who Say 'Don't Mix Religion and Politics' as He Makes Presidential Endorsement: One pastor is speaking up about who he's voting for when many Christians are choosing to stay out of the 2024 election.
Ten Things President Trump Can Do To Return The Government To The People
Ten Things President Trump Can Do To Return The Government To The People: I’m writing this on the 29th of October. As I wrote last week, I think Donald Trump is going to win. I think he’ll take office in January, but the two months between will be chock full of Democrat tricks trying to delegitimize his victory and coordinated riots seeking to push America into chaos before he’s inaugurated, along with the swamp seeking to do everything it can to insulate itself from the potential consequences of a Trump presidency.
January 20, 2025, will not be a checkered flag moment. On the contrary, it will be the starting line for a four-year race to save the nation. As such, we need to look at what exactly needs to be done going forward. Here are ten things President Trump needs to do. There’s much more, but I’d suggest this is a place to start.
The single-issue abortion voters have painted themselves into a corner
The single-issue abortion voters have painted themselves into a corner: The only thing Kamala Harris has going for her is her extreme position on abortion.
She has nothing else.
The Biden regime has been a disaster by every criterion – domestic (unlimited immigration), foreign policy (wars on three fronts), economic (disastrous inflation), military (eviscerated and transgenderized). Harris supports no restrictions on abortion up to and including birth.
When pushed on this, she says it’s not true but it is.
Kamala family values: Campaign ad urges wives to lie to their husbands about their votes
Kamala family values: Campaign ad urges wives to lie to their husbands about their votes: Aren’t the Democrats the party of the women's liberation movement?
You know, they profess that women are independent, mistresses of their own destiny, and nobody’s property. Also, the Democrats equate ‘women’s liberation’ with abortion on demand 24/7, up through nine months -- as women tell the rest of society to bug off -- with ‘my body, my choice.’
So, I was understandably gob-smacked when, while driving, I heard a radio ad by two of Kamala’s Hollywood cheerleaders: Julia Roberts and George Clooney. These two stalwarts of moral smugness and superiority were actually telling married women to lie to their spouses about how they voted.

If Trump Wins
If Trump Wins The 2016 and 2020 elections were close even though Clinton (5%) and Biden (8%) had solid polling leads at this point. We need to contemplate a Trump win not only in the electoral college but also in the popular vote.
Trump Extends An Open Hand to Rank and File Democrats
Trump Extends An Open Hand to Rank and File Democrats: I know plenty of Democrats. Both of my parents were Democrats. Some of my siblings. Almost all of my cousins.
Heeding John F. Kennedy’s call to “ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country,” they believe the government should protect working families against the predatory practices of multinational corporations like Amazon, Facebook, and Google.
They fought and continue to fight bravely, both on and off the battlefield, in defense of America’s founding principles of free speech, freedom of religion and conscience, freedom of association, and freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures.
Yet the tragedy of our time is that these Democrats—people who love America like Tulsi Gabbard and Bobby Kennedy, Jr.—have been and are being betrayed by their own party, by imposters who pretend to be Democrats but are not.
'Garbage': Why they hate Trump supporters
'Garbage': Why they hate Trump supporters: Times are tough for Kamala Harris.
It's so bad that even her primary allies, her propagandists who masquerade as journalists, are struggling to spin the narrative on her flailing campaign. They attempted various ploys to change the narrative but they failed.
The latest was the 'outrage' following a joke by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe about the state or condition of Puerto Rico.
The consequence of so many hoaxes is they no longer cause any impact even among their supporters.
Even their ally, Jon Stewart defended Hinchcliffe but questioned the idea of having a roast comedian at a rally days before the elections.

The 2024 Presidential Election Is About Leadership
The 2024 Presidential Election Is About Leadership: Leadership guru Peter Drucker is credited with saying, “Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes." With a non-compos mentis President stumbling around the White House for the past 3¾ years, barely making sense to anyone, including his own staff, many of the mainstream media and others leaning leftward believe Kamala Harris is the appropriate choice for his replacement.
Leadership is the prime requisite for an effective U.S. president. Harris’s leadership as Vice President, especially her role as America’s Southern Border Czar, proves she is a LINO, a Leader In Name Only. Her performance as Vice President has been less than dismal and her constant cackling is a telltale sign of her personal discomfort being in stressful and demanding leadership situations.
The Biden-Harris Administration Wasted Nearly One Billion on Misinformation
The Biden-Harris Administration Wasted Nearly One Billion on Misinformation A new, massive 113-page report from the U.S. House of Representatives Energy & Commerce Committee has detailed the remarkable abuses from the Biden-Harris administration and the manner in which they communicated during Covid.
Women Deserve Better Than Hillary ... or Kamala
Women Deserve Better Than Hillary ... or Kamala: America will one day have a female president. She will be smart, articulate, prudent, and brave. She will treat her campaign for office as a chance to prove to the American people that she has their best interest at heart. She will be thoughtfully prepared to answer any and all questions. Nobody will say it’s “her turn” or pretend she is more talented than she really is. Nobody will hold her to a lower or higher standard because of her sex. She will rise to the top because she earns it. Americans will listen to her speeches, watch how she conducts her personal life, and conclude that she is the right leader for the time. And when she is elected, no one will mumble, “She won only because she’s a woman.” She will win on her own merits.
President Trump has a vision for the USA
President Trump has a vision for the USA: If President Donald J. Trump is re-elected as our 47th president, we will see the renewal of our economy and social order as he has promised. Tariffs will be raised on goods manufactured abroad by U.S. companies as an incentive to bring the manufacture of those products back to the U.S. Thus, an intentional move to a more protectionist international trade policy will be reinstated as an alternative to the multilateral opening of trade that intensified during the years of the Clinton presidency. Domestic oil production will be incentivized and thus increase, resulting in a concurrent drop in transportation prices, with retail prices in our stores and at our pumps also significantly lowered (although it is doubtful that they will fall back to pre-Biden levels).
They’re doing what they’re accusing us of doing
They’re doing what they’re accusing us of doing: Earlier on, I argued why I think it's useful to debate Leftists online, knowing that it's unlikely they'' change their minds on anything.
It's good practice as it forces us to learn their arguments and how to counter them, and there are usually others silently following along who can be convinced.
But another Leftist tactic is psychological projection, which is ascribing to another person one's own feelings, thoughts, or attitudes.
Projection is used to relieve a sense of guilt or other unpleasant feeling. Blaming your own problems on someone else seems to be de rigueur in our society of late.
It's worth noting that there is a great deal of overlap between lying and projection.
The urgent need for voter ID
The urgent need for voter ID: In an era where technology and information are at our fingertips, it's paradoxical that one of our most sacred democratic acts, voting, remains vulnerable to manipulation and mistrust. The implementation of voter ID laws isn't just a policy suggestion; it's a cornerstone for the future of our democratic integrity.
Consider this: In every aspect of our lives, from boarding an airplane to cashing a check, we're asked to prove who we are. Why, then, should our voting system, the bedrock of our democracy, be an exception? Voter ID laws are not merely about security; they represent a pledge to maintain the sanctity of our electoral process, ensuring that every voice counts precisely once.
