The 2024 presidential election has left the media reeling and plunged into a period of self-doubt and introspection.

Who Brings the Joy?

Kamala Harris launched her campaign with the claim that she would be bringing the politics of joy. That lasted for about a day and a half. The joy in this year’s campaign came from Donald Trump and his fans. The simple “Trump dance” that he performs to “YMCA”–so simple that I might be able to do it–has swept the country. If you watch a college or pro football game, or pretty much any other sports event, you might see someone doing the Trump dance.
But that isn’t all: news anchors, politicians–including the newly elected President of Argentina–and many others have succumbed to the craze. Thus:
Two of the best pieces of advice I've ever received in my life came from my brother, who gifted me with these gems: "Never pass up a free meal or a free beer," and "Always be careful where you stick your finger next." I have passed those tidbits on myself from time to time, and I'm going to have to add "Never pay any serious attention to modern art" to the list.

Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL) pledged to launch a campaign to boost radical sex change procedures in his state in response to Donald Trump’s landslide election.
Pritzker used Transgender Awareness Week — November 12 to 19 — as a platform to showboat over the issue, Fox News reported
“This Transgender Awareness Week, I want you to know that I see you and have your back as governor,” Pritzker wrote on X. “Illinois has enshrined protections for gender-affirming care to meet this moment — and because of that, you will have a home here always.”
Donald Trump Jr. claimed Sunday that the United States’ recent aid to Ukraine is a bid by the Biden Administration to start “World War 3” before his father Donald Trump takes office in January.
President Joe Biden, 81, authorized the Ukrainian military to use American-supplied long-range missiles to strike targets inside of Russia on Monday, a stark departure from his previous approaches that have aimed to de-escalate the war.

President-elect Donald Trump is calling to 'fully investigate' the Iowa pollster who predicted him losing in heavily red state just days before November's election.
The Des Moines Register/Mediacom survey conducted by Ann Selzer of Selzer & Company showed Harris at 47 percent support to Trump's 44 percent.
Iowa had gone red for Trump in the last two election cycles after twice voting for Democratic President Barack Obama - and had not been considered to be a battleground state in 2024.
If you don’t live in a deep blue area, you might not understand just how hostile most of the population in some of those places has been to Trump—even the idea of Trump—since the moment he came down the golden escalator in 2015. Wear a MAGA hat in a place like Los Angeles, and you might lose friends, your family, your job, and you’d face constant confrontation. Put a Trump sticker on your car, and start saving up for all the repairs you’ll soon be facing because it will be vandalized as soon as you walk away.
But that could be changing since President-elect Donald Trump cruised to a landslide victory
Everywhere you look, Democrats are highly distressed by Donald Trump's magnificent victory and the GOP’s trifecta sweep. With honest reporting, however, missing from mainstream media for more than two decades, Democrats might have avoided their current pain and gnashing of teeth.
Gaslighting as the Norm
An honest press would have reported that Kamala Harris was ducking key questions, botching interviews, and offering word salad responses. Worse, she learned nothing from one interview to the next, and she was unprepared to address fundamental issues while her handlers ignored these deficiencies.
Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign shelled out nearly $2.5 million to Oprah Winfrey’s production company for the celeb-packed town hall it hosted — more than double the initial estimate reported.
It was originally surmised that Winfrey’s company Harpo Productions had been paid around $1 million for the talk show legend’s September town hall with Harris, but a new report shows that the dollar amount was greatly underestimated.
Two people familiar with the matter told the New York Times that Winfrey’s company had actually been paid closer to $2.5 million — still a mere fraction of Harris’ estimated $1.5 billion campaign spending.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott continues to apply Operation Lone Star resources to the state’s border with Mexico in anticipation of a final Biden-era mass migration event. On the other hand, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker vowed this week to “do everything I can to protect our undocumented immigrants.”
“Texas will continue to deploy every tool and strategy available under our historic border mission to protect and defend our state and our nation,” Governor Abbott posted on social media. The governor also pledged to continue the State’s migrant bussing program that delivered nearly 120,000 migrants to the sanctuary cities of New York, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Denver, and Los Angeles since April 2022.

Several people fired flares at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s private home Sunday morning, igniting a fire next to it.
Shocking video of the incident shows the moment one of the two flares is fired at the house in Caesarea, landing in the yard and starting a fire beside a central air unit.
Three people were arrested in the incident, which occurred when the PM and his family were not at home.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) will be under the microscope when it comes to President-elect Trump’s most contentious Cabinet nominees, with senators watching closely to see if he will oppose confirming former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) as attorney general or former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard for director of national intelligence.
McConnell, who clashed with Trump and is leaving his leadership position in the new Congress, will turn 83 in February and is up for reelection in 2026. Crossing Trump could make his road to another term more difficult, but it’s also far from clear that he would seek another six years in the Senate.

Fox News contributor and editor-in-chief of The Federalist Mollie Hemingway appeared on “Special Report” Friday and explained that in her view, Trump’s pick of former (recently-resigned) Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida was a brilliant move by the President-elect to show that he’s determined to change the way things operate in the Swamp. She reminded viewers and the other panelists that Gaetz was a tireless fighter against the Russia collusion nonsense:
Matt Gaetz was nominated for this position because we have a problem with the Department of Justice. For the last eight years, they have run roughshod over rule of law in this country.
The Washington Post's left-leaning editorial board published a scathing article about Pennsylvania Democrats who voted to count invalid ballots during the Senate race recount between Bob Casey (D-PA) and his Republican challenger, Dave McCormick. Titled “Democrats thumb their nose at the rule of law in Pennsylvania,” accused Casey and his Democrat allies of scheming the election integrity laws to count invalid provisional ballots that favored Casey.
The mere attempt to defy judicial rulings is corrosive to democracy and invites similar behavior in future elections.
President Biden has reportedly given Ukraine permission to deploy US-supplied longe-range missiles to attack targets in Russian territory just weeks before President-elect Donald Trump takes office.
Ukraine said it plans to take advantage of the policy change within days.

The October 7, 2023 attacks carried out against Israel by Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists.... was the direct result of Tehran's ability to fund the terrorist movement to the tune of $100 million a year, an operation that would not have been possible without Biden's lenient attitude towards the ayatollahs.
Trump may come to see as well that, unfortunately, due to the deep-seated commitment of Iran's regime in exporting its brand of Islam, as enshrined in its constitution, there can be no real long-term peace in the Middle East without regime change, especially if Iran has nuclear weapons -- not to mention the global arms race that would follow such an event.

The move is a significant change to U.S. policy in the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict. The easing of restrictions would allow Kyiv to use the Army Tactical Missile System, or ATACMS, to hit targets inside Russia. The move also comes as some 10,000 North Korean troops were sent to Kursk near Ukraine's northern border to help Russian forces retake territory. The White House National Security Council declined to

BEIRUT - An Israeli strike on a building in central Beirut on Sunday killed Hezbollah's media relations chief Mohammad Afif, two Lebanese security sources told Reuters, though there was no immediate confirmation from Hezbollah.
Israel has rarely hit senior Hezbollah personnel who do not have clear military roles, and its air strikes have mostly targeted Beirut's southern suburbs where Hezbollah has its heaviest presence. The Israeli military declined to comment in response to questions from Reuters. An Israeli military spokesperson's account on the social media platform X that often publishes evacuation orders for areas about to be bombed showed no such warning before this strike.

A lot of you people sound nuts.
It is unsurprising that a Donald Trump campaign ad featuring the tagline “Kamala is for they/them. President Trump is for you” was effective in the 2024 presidential campaign.
Indeed, a pro-Kamala Harris PAC says the spot, which featured a clip of Harris endorsing state-funded sex-change operations for prisoners, “shifted the race 2.7 percentage points in Mr. Trump’s favor after viewers watched it.” Now, one suspects most normies aren’t only turned off by “they/them” because it’s grammatically mystifying or scientifically dubious.
For many, “they/them” represents the 14,000 confused children who have been mutilated by “gender-affirming care.”

There have been thousands of words written about the 2024 presidential election, but I think Jeffrey Tucker’s article at Brownstone best summarized the sea change in votes cast , and Victor Davis Hanson best describes the cabinet nominees so far of greatest significance, people selected in part to avenge their treatment by the prior lawless administration.

The 2024 presidential election was not simply a contest of personalities or parties; it was a decisive stand taken by Americans against a set of ideologies and social constructs that have increasingly dominated the national conversation.
