"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

Keep in mind that "vendors" are mostly small business entrepreneurs, or businesses that hire specialists, stage hands, caterers, etc. It's the workers at these events that are hurt the most if they are stiffed by the entity that hires them. It' very smart.

Please don't. They deserve to suffer. If you want to give people money give it to the victims of the hurricanes and crimes by the illegal aliens the dims let in. I've lived in my house for decades and this is the first time ever some one showed up on my doorstep trying to get me to vote for the dims. Someone paid the idiot money. Dims have no problem raising money. Don't help them out.

Many republicans sent last minute donations to the Trump campaign to help get him over the top. That money was not meant to be used to pay Beyonce, Cardi B. and all of the celebrity twits who were paid to help Kamala. Let them donate their services to the cackling fool and pay the vendors from the Emhoff/Harris bank account. I'm sure that Kamala profited somehow from that billion dollars. It's how dems roll.

Absolutely brilliant!!!! Trump showing again how democrats spend money they don't have, spend other people's money with no regard for the fallout, stiffing vendors and their own staff because they're in debt, and knowingly violating equal time regs giving Trump millions in free advertising. Venders have had to lay employees off-not able to meet payroll. They are disgraceful. A win-win for us and a lose-lose for the left. Right up there with McDonalds and the garbage truck.

Money goes directly to the vendor with a valid invoice. No money to the 'entertainers'. Commie-la must provide a notarized statement that the vendors bills are valid. (Time to stop lying, sweetie) PDT has the right to publish the debts he has paid. (vendor names can be assigned a number to provide privacy to them) PDT, please twist the screws until the dems squeal.

Benevolence and forgiveness are for after the war has been won. As General Flynn noted, Trump's victory in the election is just a beachhead, like that of D-Day in WWII, the war is far from over. The Democrats and their attempted coup first need to be crushed.

Trump is very shrewd. He has put the DNC in a box. He is offering, overall, a pittance, and you can be sure some strings will be attached. The dems can refuse and look petty. Trump wins. Or they can accept and be bound by conditions that Trump sets. Trump wins. People may worry about Trump being played but he is a businessman and he now KNOWS the dems. There will be NO trust. Trump is offering them a deal in which he wins, no matter what they do. Remember, Trump wrote the book on it.

I’m still processing the election and its aftermath. Herewith a few additional observations. • I was told that if I voted for Trump, dozens of celebrities and Hollywood potentates would leave the country. But none seem to be leaving. Which just goes to show that pragmatism doesn’t work. • The Atlantic, which told us that Trump is literally Hitler (they literally said that), is not taking it well. They are especially mad at Twitter/X: X has always had a nazi problem. . . Heaps of unfiltered posts that plainly celebrate racism, anti-Semitism, and outright Nazism are easily accessible and possibly even promoted by the site’s algorithms.

Wicked movie merchandising turned into a nightmare for Mattel over the weekend as news broke that a web address listed on the packaging for character dolls took consumers to an adult pornographic site. The toy company apologized later on Sunday. “Mattel was made aware of a misprint on the packaging of the Mattel Wicked collection dolls, primarily sold in the U.S., which intended to direct consumers to the official WickedMovie.com landing page,” read a statement. “We deeply regret this unfortunate error and are taking immediate action to remedy this.

CNN host Fareed Zakaria offered a blistering takedown of the Democratic Party on Sunday, days after former President Donald Trump swept the seven battleground states and won the popular vote to secure a second White House term. The GPS host told his audience that there was no singular reason why Vice President Kamala Harris and down-ballot Democrats performed so poorly. He categorized the election results as a reaction from an electorate that had grown tired of Democratic policies and the party’s messaging. He said Democrats misread the room on everything from diversity to their handling of immigration to a sentiment Trump was being persecuted by politically motivated criminal trials and proceedings.

It has been a real eye-opener to watch the left go from smug confidence that Kamala was preordained to be the 47th president of the United States to the depth of despair as Donald Trump racked up 312 electoral votes and a popular vote victory to become the first president since Grover Cleveland to be elected to non-consecutive terms. This is just a snapshot of the changes. ee Ward Clark's Anatomy of a Blowout: Major Shifts in the Electorate – RedState for more examples. So, what caused this seismic shift? A sane person would say that the Democrats suffered from a spectacularly horrible candidate, a repulsive agenda for America, or both.

President-elect Donald Trump held his first post-election call with Russian leader Vladimir Putin last week and warned him against ramping up in Ukraine, a new report says. The incoming president took note of US military power in Europe while seeking to discourage the Kremlin dictator from intensifying Russia’s war in Ukraine during the Thursday chat, sources told the Washington Post. Trump also expressed interest in a follow-up talk, the outlet said. The day before, on Wednesday, Trump, 78, spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on the phone as well, though details of their conversation were not known other than Trump assuring

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

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.

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.”

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,

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.
