Harris In 2028? One In Five Of Her Own
Voters Hope Not: I&I/TIPP Poll
Posted By: Mercedes44, 12/30/2024 5:58:07 AM
Vice President Kamala Harris lost soundly to President-elect Donald Trump, despite spending well over $1 billion on her campaign. And if those who voted for her are any indication, she might want to hang up her presidential aspirations, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows. The online national I&I/TIPP Poll asked 1,411 adults across the country this question: “In the 2024 election for president, did you vote for Donald Trump, Kamala Harris, another candidate, or did you not vote for president?” Of those answering, 41% answered “Donald Trump,” 38% said “Kamala Harris,” 15% said “Did not vote,” 3% responded “Other,” and 3% preferred not to answer.

What We Got Right — And Wrong — In 2024
2 replies
As editorial writers for a combined 90 or so years, we’ve found ourselves often trying to divine the future in addition to insightfully commenting on the present. So we thought with only a few hours left in the year, we’d look back and see if our foresight was sharp, or maybe just a bit blurry, and if our assessment of current events was on the mark.
What We Got Right
We suggested in February that Joe Biden wasn’t going to be the Democrats’ nominee in 2024. “In short,” we said, “given that the establishment left is now insisting that Biden will be the nominee makes it more likely that he won’t be.”
The Canadian government pledged to crack down on student visa abuse after Indian officials complained about a “well-planned conspiracy” that used Canadian student visas to smuggle Indian nationals into the United States.
According to India’s Directorate of Enforcement, an umbrella agency that coordinates interdepartmental investigations of money laundering, a sophisticated criminal operation in India has been systematically abusing student visas to smuggle Indians into Canada. The criminals allegedly targeted a hundred Canadian colleges and universiti
2024’s Biggest Loser Was Barack Obama
20 replies
As desperate, phony, and even dangerous of a campaign Democrats ran this year, and as embarrassing as the outcome was for all of them, nobody came out looking more pathetic than Barack Obama. From 2024’s vantage point, is there any way to look at his legacy but as a tragic blight on American history?
In the final months of the campaign, Obama seemed to know the outcome of the election would say just as much about him as it would about Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, or Donald Trump. And, like all realistic Democrats, he knew that the nominee he supported was on track to lose.
For the first time since FDR and the Great Depression, voters who identify as Republicans outnumber Democrats by a significant margin, according to data released this week by Gallup. Not just Gallup, either. Political analyst Patrick Ruffini noted Monday, "After the exit polls were reweighted to reflect the final popular vote result, Republicans outnumbered Democrats by 5 points in the AP VoteCast survey and by 4 points in the network exit polls."Tonight we're gonna party like it's 1928.
So what changed?
In the last 16 years, we've had 12 years of hard-left Democrat presidents who got everything they wanted, legislatively,
Gov. Hochul last week signed a new climate bill forcing fossil-fuel companies to pay $75 billion in “recovery” assessments over the next 25 years for their alleged role in causing “extreme weather.”
“It’s time for large polluters to pay their fair share,” she declared.
But the claim is an unscientific joke — and the law, passed by some of the nation’s most obtuse and know-nothing legislators, means the political class in Albany just hit the gas pedal on the Empire State’s economic demise.
Under this law, New York will “impose cost recovery demands” for extreme weather events “on responsible parties,” or fossil fuel companies,
A sure sign that New York leaders have utterly failed to made riders feel safe: The Guardian Angels are returning to the subways.
Founder Curtis Sliwa announced Sunday that the volunteer force will patrol the underground after a four-year hiatus in response to sky-high crime in the system and the vile arson murder of a suspected homeless woman on Dec. 22.
The Guardian chief said he wants to boost the group’s recruitment back up to 1970s numbers and increase training, claiming he’d “never seen” subway crime “this bad.”
As if to prove Sliwa’s point, a man’s throat was slashed during an argument on a C-train platform the next day.
A simmering debate over work visas exploded over the last days of the year, exposing a rift over immigration among President-elect Trump’s closest supporters.
The H-1B visa — a temporary, nonimmigrant work permit — is at the center of the MAGA-on-MAGA strife, with one faction claiming it’s a necessary tool to attract professional talent to the United States and the other deriding the visa program as a burden on American workers. Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy — the incoming chiefs of Trump’s nascent “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) — took the mantle of H-1B defenders,

Alien Criminals Will Save Taxpayers More
Than It Costs 13 replies
In testimony before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, American Immigration Council (AIC) Senior Fellow Aaron Reichlin-Melnick remarked last week that mass deportations would cost “at a minimum” $316 billion.
The AIC estimates that there is an annual cost of $88 billion to deport one million illegal aliens each year. That breaks down to $7 billion for arrests, $66 billion for detentions, $12.6 billion to go through the legal process, and $2.1 billion to transport deportees out of the country. It works out to $88,000 per deportee, but the council claims this is a “highly conservative estimate.”
A top Palestinian leader told The Post he expects that President-elect Donald Trump will “destroy Iran,” which will cause remaining Hamas influence to crumble.
Hamas has been decimated by Israel’s war in the Gaza Strip, but in the West Bank the terror group has been rising up against the Palestinian Authority, which is run by the rival Fatah party.
The Palestinian Authority is supported by western governments including the US, and Hamas and other Islamist groups accuse it of cozying up to Israel.
Palestinian security forces have been cracking down in particular at refugee camps in the West Bank town of Jenin,
Vice President Kamala Harris lost soundly to President-elect Donald Trump, despite spending well over $1 billion on her campaign. And if those who voted for her are any indication, she might want to hang up her presidential aspirations, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.
The online national I&I/TIPP Poll asked 1,411 adults across the country this question: “In the 2024 election for president, did you vote for Donald Trump, Kamala Harris, another candidate, or did you not vote for president?”
Of those answering, 41% answered “Donald Trump,” 38% said “Kamala Harris,” 15% said “Did not vote,” 3% responded “Other,” and 3% preferred not to answer.
Throughout the 2024 campaign, Democrats insisted that we simply had to vote for Kamala Harris or else the nation would descend into the fascist rule of Bad Orange Man, the most dangerous enemy of “our democracy” since the reigns of terror of his good friends and role models Adolf Hitler and Genghis Khan. It was all bunkum, of course, and an extended use of the old tactic of accusing the enemy of what they were guilty of doing, as it was the Biden-Harris regime that took actual steps to criminalize opposition to its policies. And now, even after their disastrous electoral defeat,
At first glance, the story seemed distressingly familiar: back in June 2023, a Syrian asylum seeker went on a stabbing spree at a playground in the French city of Annecy, stabbing four toddlers and two adults. There have been numerous incidents in recent years of Muslim migrants in France stabbing people in random attacks, often while screaming “Allahu akbar.” In this case, however, the attacker shouted “In the name of Jesus Christ” as he did his stabbing and claimed to be a Christian. It seemed as if the left had at last the Christian terrorist that looms so large in its mythmaking but has been so elusive in real life.

Democrat Stacey Abrams, the renowned voting rights activist and former Georgia gubernatorial candidate, argued the U.S. was nearly “evenly divided” when President-elect Trump won the 2024 presidential election over Vice President Harris. “Donald Trump won the election, but it wasn’t a landslide,” Abrams, who lost two election bids for governor in the Peach State, said in an interview Monday with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes. “It was an evenly divided nation. He got more people, but this was not the seismic shift where 57, 58 percent of America said no.” “It was less than 50 percent of the electorate who said this
oe Biden took a cheap shot at President-elect Trump in his remarks Sunday evening in St. Croix on the death of former President Jimmy Carter. (Photo) When asked by a reporter what Trump could take from Carter, Biden flashed a Carter-esque toothy smile while saying “decency” three times and then went on a brief diatribe comparing Carter to Trump. The reporter squeezed the question in as White House press wranglers were trying to shut down Biden and the assembled reporters and end the press availability.
The reporter’s question was partially lost in cross talk, “Is there (anything?) President Trump could take from President Carter?”
Biden answered:
Democrats are boasting that Jimmy Carter's death could overshadow Donald Trump's upcoming inauguration due to a long upheld tradition.
Standard protocol states that all flags should be flown at half mast at federal buildings for 30 days following the death of a former president.
Carter, the 39th U.S. President, died at 100 years old on Sunday afternoon, almost two years after entering hospice care and just 22 days before Trump's inauguration on January 20. Outspoken MAGA critics and Democrat voters have quipped that the half mast flags during such a pivotal moment are Carter's parting gift to Trump after their longstanding feud.
As President-elect Trump prepares to take office, so-called public health activists are ginning up a new pandemic. This one is "bird flu." Not the bird flu that's been around for decades, but a new one that infects livestock and could possibly mutate into a killer virus much worse than COVID.COVID fascist Deborah Birx has been on the case for months, advocating that we test cattle for bird flu. In fact, Birx is trying to stoke panic.Birx isn't the only member of the old gang itching for a reunion. Trump's CDC director, Robert Redfield, has been preaching doom via bird flu for months. Here, he's warning about a 50% fatality rate.
MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace said Monday on “Deadline” that it is important to study MAGA to expose “the movement’s vulnerability” and defeat it.
Wallace said, “I think the study of MAGA is essential to defeat MAGA. Right? And if you want to go to the country in four years with the political movement that defeats MAGA, you have to understand MAGA. And so to me this is a story that is, the personalities in conflict, you just can’t look away, right? But the idea that one figure, and I think it’s Bannon in this case, is trying to preserve something that to him as a MAGA enforcer is,
The Biden regime’s hit man most responsible for the persecution of J6 protesters is out of a job.
DC US Attorney Matthew Graves announced today he is resigning from office in a statement:
His resignation will become official just days before President-elect Trump is inaugurated:
“Serving as the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia has been the honor of a lifetime. I am deeply thankful to Congresswoman Holmes Norton for recommending me; to President Biden for nominating me; and to Attorney General Garland for placing his trust in me.”
The Second Circuit Court of Appeals has handed down a ruling in President-elect Donald Trump's appeal of the verdict in E. Jean Carroll's defamation/sexual abuse civil suit against him. In a word: No.
The court declined to overturn the verdict.
A federal appeals court on Monday rejected President-elect Donald Trump's attempt to overturn a jury's verdict last year that found he sexually abused writer E. Jean Carroll in the mid-1990s.
The Second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decided "Trump has not demonstrated that the district court erred in any of the challenged rulings" and "has not carried his burden
President Joe Biden signed an executive order closing the federal government on Jan. 9 "as a mark of respect" for the late President Jimmy Carter.
In his proclamation announcing the passing of the 39th president, Biden also called on the American people to pay their respects on Jan. 9, the day of Carter’s funeral. “I do further appoint January 9, 2025, as a National Day of Mourning throughout the United States,” the executive order states. “I call on the American people to assemble on that day in their respective places of worship, there to pay homage to the memory of President James Earl Carter, Jr. I invite the people

REP. JAMIE RASKIN: Well, the Department of Justice traditionally has enjoyed institutional independence from the office of the president. The president has not ordered investigations into specific individuals or terminated investigations into others. That principle was, of course, tested during Donald Trump’s first presidential administration. He seemed to want to treat the Department of Justice as a mere adjunct of his own presidency, under the unitary executive theory.

2024 story was Biden’s ‘obvious cognitive decline’ 24 replies
Veteran CBS News reporter Jan Crawford dinged news organizations for not thoroughly covering President Biden’s “obvious cognitive decline” this year until it became unavoidable during his disastrous debate against Donald Trump over the summer.
Crawford, the network’s chief legal correspondent, insisted stronger reporting on the topic could have changed the entire election as she responded to a question from “Face the Nation” moderator Major Garrett about the most underreported story in 2024.
“Undercovered and underreported, that would be, to me, Joe Biden’s obvious cognitive decline that became undeniable in the televised debate,” she said on the Sunday morning show.
Is Climate Change Making Hurricanes Worse?
22 replies
Climate alarmists like President Joe Biden assure us that all we need do to avert the destruction of hurricanes—or at least to lessen it—is to sacrifice offerings to the climate gods by giving up our gas-guzzling internal combustion engines and paying indulgences to Al Gore or something.
You see, humans as a species have sinned, and we must sacrifice our prosperity to prevent the end of the world. Unfortunately for the alarmists, the world stubbornly refuses to end, and even the supposed evidence they trot out as proof of impending doom doesn’t exactly mean what they think it means.
Take hurricanes, for example
President-elect Donald Trump honored former President Jimmy Carter upon hearing of his death at age 100, graciously remembering him as a man who did his best “to improve the lives of all Americans.”
The president-elect honored the now-deceased former president in a post on his Truth Social account Sunday.
“I just heard of the news about the passing of President Jimmy Carter. Those of us who have been fortunate to have served as President understand this is a very exclusive club, and only we can relate to the enormous responsibility of leading the Greatest Nation in History,” Trump wrote. The president-elect then graciously characterized Carter’s tenure,
