Posted By: Dreadnought, 11/7/2024 1:26:15 PM
President Joe Biden addressed the nation Thursday on President-elect Donald Trump’s resounding electoral victory and urged Americans to unify and “lower the temperature” after a divisive and intense presidential campaign. Biden gave brief remarks from the White House and praised the American experiment of democratically electing leaders in a peaceful, orderly fashion. “Yesterday, I spoke with President-elect Trump to congratulate him on his victory and I assured him that I would direct my entire administration to work with his team to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition,” Biden said.

John Hinckley Jr., the man who attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan in 1981, has been so inundated with requests to do something similar to Donald Trump that he felt compelled to address the situation on social media.
How far gone do you have to be to try and enlist a former attempted assassin to take out the new President-elect — and he's telling you to get a grip? Hinckley's comments indicate enough of an onslaught of requests that it needed to be mentioned.
And it's incredibly troublesome considering Democrat rhetoric over the past several months has already led to two attempts on Trump's life
Obama’s poison

Writing for The Scroll, Tablet‘s Substack, Park MacDougald has quickly established himself as one of my favorite columnists. On the day before the election Park drew attention to the January 17, 2017 transcript of “Remarks by the president in roundtable with progressive journalists.” At the time “the president” was still Barack Obama.
Hans Mahncke and Jeff Carlson note that the transcript was dredged up in 2022 via the Freedom of Information Act but only posted lo, these many years later. Mahncke and Carlson write about it in “Obama Fueled Russia Collusion Lies in Secret White House Meeting” at Truth Over News.
Voters in Washington State have approved a referendum known as Initiative 2066, which would block state and local authorities from limiting access to natural gas stoves and appliances, which environmental groups have tried to do.
The Seattle Times reported:
Washington voters approved Initiative 2066, a measure that explicitly protects access to natural gas in Washington, and also weakens building codes that make it more difficult and costly to add natural gas heating in new construction. The initiative marks a moment when the state, long known for its progressive climate policies, has taken a step in the other direction. It throws a wrench
Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer secretly visited Russia last week, Army Radio reported Sunday, in what appeared to be part of Israel’s efforts to reach a ceasefire in Lebanon where it is battling the terror group Hezbollah.
Dermer’s office said that it had no comment on the report.
Dermer then flew to Washington on Saturday night for talks with US officials, the Ynet outlet reported.
Russia is a major player in Syria, and its cooperation in a diplomatic arrangement to end fighting between Israel and Hezbollah could be an important piece of a deal that keeps the Iran-backed group from rearming.
Loose lips sink ships and apparently CNN’s loose relationship with the truth could sink the Cable News Network. In a truly scathing concurring opinion published Thursday breathing new life into Project Veritas’ defamation case against the liberal news network, Judge Ed Carnes with the 11th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals called out CNN for “downplaying the importance of telling the truth in its broadcasts” and used CNN’s own employees to do it. The case involves CNN lying about what got right-wing investigative journalism organization Project Veritas kicked off of then-Twitter. CNN falsely claimed they were banned from the platform (before Elon Musk bought it) for spreading misinformation when, in reality
Within days of Donald Trump being elected as the 47th President of the United States of America, things are changing fast in the Middle East, and there are new developments in the conflict between Israel and Gaza that could expedite a resolution of the war.
Qatar has been a critical player in the past year by facilitating hostage negotiations but also by harboring the Hamas leaders who have resided in their country even before the war, living in luxury off of millions of dollars of aid money given by the UN and UNWRA.
Now, after over a year of playing soft politics with Biden, the Qataris want out.
"He's really bad being Hitler," my son mused in a text this morning about the following story.
President-elect Donald Trump, in a Saturday post to Truth Social, offered the help the Democrat Party pay off the campaign debt of Vice President Kamala Harris.
I find that somewhat profound, given the vile bilge and abject lies about the now-president-elect that were parroted throughout the bitterly-fought 2024 presidential campaign. From "Hitler" to "fascist" to "racist" to "white supremacist," the baseless attacks against Trump were never-ending.
Yet, here's Trump's offer (emphasis, mine):
I am very surprised that the Democrats, who fought a hard and valiant fight
On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher said that while President-Elect Donald Trump “talks like a fascist,” “If he talks about Arnold Palmer’s dick” or swears or “says something that everybody thinks, like there are shithole countries,” he’s not going to get upset over it like he did, “because that is deranged.”
Maher began by saying that the “most important thing to say” about the election is that the reason why things are peaceful is because Democrats believe in conceding elections and they’re the party that lost, while Republicans wouldn’t have accepted defeat.
He added, “I also just want to say, to my friends on the right…
Ezra Klein: This Too Shall Pass

Republicans are celebrating this week and Democrats are going through various stages of despair and disbelief, wondering what to do next. Over at the NY Times, Ezra Klein has a reminder which seems written for an audience of dejected Democrats but which is probably something Republicans should think about as well.
There are really two messages, the first one is that the Obama coalition is dead and won't be coming back. Whatever glue once held that group of progressives and minorities together just blew up. Instead of a black candidate winning as Obama did in 2008, we had a black candidate losing. Instead of uniform rallying together
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — A federal judge on Friday overturned Illinois’ ban on semiautomatic weapons, leaning on recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings that strictly interpret the Second Amendment right to keep and bear firearms.
U.S. District Judge Stephen P. McGlynn, of the Southern District of Illinois, issued a permanent injunction he said applies universally, not just to the lawsuit’s plaintiffs. He decided, however, that the injunction would not take effect for 30 days.
Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul responded speedily, filing a notice of appeal Friday evening.
The Protect Illinois Communities Act, signed into law in January 2023 by Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker, took effect Jan. 1. It bans AR-15 rifles and similar guns,
With President Donald Trump's big win on Tuesday, there's a lot of talk now about a mandate from the people.
He so decisively beat Kamala Harris, you don't even hear them talking at this point about any means of contesting the election. It remains to be seen if they try any funny business between now and Jan. 20, 2025. But the American people made the saying "too big to rig" come true with how big the win was.
It defied the ridiculous estimations by things like the Selzer poll that suggested Trump was going to lose Iowa. But not only

in Arctic refuge as it secures president’s legacy 14 replies
Hours after former President Donald Trump was declared the winner of the 2024 election, the Biden administration moved Wednesday to limit oil drilling in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Oil drilling had been banned for decades in the Arctic refuge — a pristine natural region in northeast Alaska home to a wide range of threatened species. But a law passed during the first Trump administration required the federal government to hold two lease sales there for fossil fuel drilling. The first was in 2021 and was ultimately suspended and canceled by the Interior Department because of the lack of interest from the oil industry.

A Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) supervisor told disaster relief workers in Florida to “avoid homes” with signs supporting President-elect Donald Trump, the agency confirmed Friday.
The FEMA official — Marn’i Washington — conveyed her edict both verbally and in a Microsoft Teams chat used by relief workers canvassing Lake Placid homes ravaged by Hurricane Milton last month, according to the Daily Wire.
“Avoid homes advertising Trump,” Washington wrote in a “best practices” memo to employees.
The order was the second bullet point in a list instructing workers to not go “anywhere alone,” practice “de-escalation,” stay hydrated and to “follow the rules.”

Ella Emhoff appears to be losing her mind over her stepmother’s loss to Donald Trump in the presidential election.
Emhoff, 25, was photographed sobbing on the sidelines while Vice President Harris delivered her concession speech at Howard University on Wednesday.
Less than 24 hours later, the lefty activist daughter of second gentleman Doug Emhoff posted one of the unflattering images of her crying during the speech to her Instagram story, along with the caption, “Truly no words. We are all going to get through this. It just f–king hurts like a #@#$ right now and that’s ok.
Amid the stunning revelation that Kamala Harris’ unsuccessful presidential campaign ended up $20 million in the red, despite raising $1 billion from donors, a new report has found that the rock concerts that her campaign staged on the night before the election — featuring Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and others — collectively cost around that same amount, up to $20 million. Now vendors and others who worked on those concerts, which were meant to persuade “low-propensity voters” to turn out for Harris, are reportedly facing the prospect of unpaid invoices.

MSNBC host Joy Reid said Friday on her show “The ReidOut” that President-elect Donald Trump will deport legal immigrants if they are “brown.”
Reid said, “They have now gotten people of color to fight each other and not pay attention to each other and create a hate among groups of color so that when they do start hurting people and taking people out and putting people in camps. Now we have a Hutu Tutsi world where people don’t care. When they start hurting undocumented people, the other people in the country including other people of color won’t care.”
George Clooney feels he is being used as a ‘scapegoat’ in the furious blame game over who could have cost Kamala Harris the election – and will now take a step back from politics.
The Hollywood star, 63, threw his support behind Harris after penning a blistering op-ed on why Joe Biden would cost the Democrats the win if he didn’t abandon his campaign, but it still wasn’t enough to prevent an historic victory for Donald Trump.
Clooney has since been criticized by Democrats for his influence during the election, with some claiming Harris' loss was his fault.
FEMA official Marn’i Washington ordered her staff to avoid assisting homes with Trump flags in their yards following the aftermath of a recent hurricane in Florida. Marn’i wanted them to suffer for their support for Donald Trump.
A whistleblower came forward with text messages revealing FEMA official Marn’i Washington ordered relief workers to purposely skip over homes in Florida displaying Trump signs in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton.
According to internal messages obtained by The Daily Wire, FEMA discriminated against Trump supporters in need of help in the aftermath of the most recent hurricanes
Ella Emhoff has opened up about her mental health woes in a vulnerable post to Instagram.
The activist and fashion designer, 25, had appeared distraught on Wednesday after her stepmother Kamala Harris' presidential bid came to a heartbreaking end.
Ella shared an image of herself looking devastated as she openly cried alongside campaign staffers and family members.On Saturday she published a curse-laden post on Instagram. The outburst seems to have been prompted by a widely circulated post on X which spread cruel rumors suggesting she had checked into an in-patient mental health facility.
The rumor has since been debunked as fake news with Ella setting the record straight for herself.
The Justice Department is reportedly narrowing its focus on prosecuting the most “egregious” offenders involved in the Jan. 6, 2021 protest at the U.S. Capitol building.
Of particular concern are those who committed felony assaults on law enforcement officers, according to an NBC News report. This development comes after President-elect Donald Trump won the presidential election and prepares to take office in early 2025.
The primary reason for the Justice Department’s tighter focus is likely the possibility that Trump will pardon or commute the sentences of many of those who were arrested and are facing prosecution over Jan. 6. His victory has sparked optimism among the defendants and those supporting them.
What Will Kamala Harris Do Now?

The 2024 election is over, the last few races are being decided, and for the most part, only the recriminations remain. The Harris/Walz campaign tried everything from "brat" and "joy" to calling Donald Trump a fascist and a Nazi, and they failed. They didn't just fail, they failed catastrophically, losing not only the presidential election by a wide margin in the electoral vote and the total vote count, but they also lost more Senate seats to the Republicans and, it looks like, control of the House of Representatives as well. President-elect Donald Trump will enter office with a clear and undeniable mandate, and with a friendly Congress.
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 Federal Emergency Management Agency supervisor accused of ordering her subordinates to skip Florida homes with Trump campaign signs has been fired.
Marn’i Washington was sacked for telling disaster relief workers in Lake Placid, Fla., to “not go to homes with yard signs supporting President-elect Trump,” FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell said Saturday.
“This is a clear violation of FEMA’s core values and principles to help people regardless of their political affiliation,” she said, adding, “This employee has been terminated and we have referred the matter to the Office of Special Counsel.
“I will continue to do everything I can to make sure this never happens again.
In the late 1940s, Supreme Court Justice Hugo L. Black, in the case of Everson v. United States, took a quote from a letter written by Thomas Jefferson out of context and insisted that the wall of separation between church and state “should be high and impregnable.”
Despite some variability, this position became the basis for the Court’s interpretation of the separation of church and state which led to the banning of prayer and Bible reading in the public schools at the beginning of the 1960s.
Separation of church and state means (1) that taxes should not be used to support an official national church (denomination) of Christianity,
