You thought common sense and true normalcy would return to government, society, and the culture?

As if.

Don’t kid yourselves. The least intelligent, least articulate, and most incompetent presidential candidate ever may have failed to attain the Democrats’ customary deep blue state-fueled popular majority.

But the reality is that America remains a deeply divided, essentially 50-50 nation. Meaning that: […]

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Abe Hamadeh won his race for Congress last Tuesday. Hamadeh previously ran for Arizona Attorney General in the rigged 2022 election and reportedly lost by just 280 votes. Had 60% of voting machines not failed and caused four-hour wait times in the state’s largest county, Maricopa, Hamadeh would have won the 2022 election decisively.

Additionally, thousands of Republican voters in 2022 were forced to vote with provisional ballots due to errors with their voter registrations, and their votes were never counted despite being lawfully registered to vote. Former Secretary of State Katie Hobbs previously hid this information from the judge in Hamadeh’s post-election challenge to overturn the election.

Hamadeh expressed concern that due to a systemwide error in the Arizona voter registration system affecting 218,000 voters, even more voters will be moved to a provisional ballot this election cycle. Maricopa estimates there are currently 10,000 provisional ballots, down from 21,000 earlier Sunday and since election day.

Additionally, Abe says the nearly two-week counting period that Maricopa County previously expected is “an open invitation for them to manipulate the ballots” in Kari Lake’s race for the Senate. As The Gateway Pundit reported on Saturday, despite winning steadily ballot dumps from Maricopa County over the last few days and coming back over 70,000 votes in the total ballot count, Maricopa County’s ballot counts are becoming increasingly suspicious and showing Lake’s deficit increasing.

The GOP is now one seat away from winning the House of Representatives.

CBS News reported:

Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo, who represents Colorado’s 8th Congressional District, conceded her race to Republican challenger Gabe Evans on Sunday.

The congresswoman’s campaign issued a statement Sunday afternoon thanking supporters, staff and family, saying that she would finish her term.

“It’s been the honor of a lifetime to serve the people of Colorado’s 8th district. I came to Congress to get things done, and have spent the last two years working to find common ground and bipartisan solutions to the most pressing issues facing our community,” she said in her statement. “I would like to thank my family, staff, volunteers, and supporters who believed in this campaign and the vision we set out to achieve. Together, we built a diverse, people-powered campaign that brought together a coalition of Democrats, Republicans, and unaffiliated voters. While this isn’t the outcome we had hoped for, the work is not over. I look forward to returning to Washington to finish out this term and will continue to be an independent voice for the people of this district.”

Evans also thanked supporters, as well as God, his family and campaign staff, in a statement.

“I am incredibly humbled to be chosen as the next Congressman for Colorado’s 8th. It is an honor to be entrusted with the job of representing you and your families, and I am ready to fight back for a better direction for all Coloradans,” Evans said. “Thank you to my amazing wife and family for their incredible support and love over the past year, and thank you to our campaign’s amazing staff and volunteers for their long hours and dedication to flipping this seat.” […]

Host Johnathan Karl said, “Bottom line, what was the factor with these people that were undecided and then broke against Kamala Harris?”

Luntz said, “They did not like either candidate. That was clear. They thought that Trump was offensive and abusive in his language and polarizing, but in the end, she didn’t answer the question that they wanted to know. What are you going to do in the first hour, in the first day, in the first week, the first month and so on? They felt they had the right to hear this, and if she won’t tell them that, then they couldn’t give her their vote. And other voters, not just the young voters felt she never came clean with what she wanted to do, and the fact she changed her positions in some issues, she never really explained it.”

Karl asked, “Did she talk too much about Trump?”

Luntz said, “It was too much defining what Trump was. We all know what Trump is. We experienced him for four years. Whoever told her to focus on him committed political malpractice because in the end, you cannot change someone’s point of view on him, it was all about her.” […]

It is debatable whether that newfound cooperation can encompass more than just infrastructure grants, especially after New York Attorney General Letitia James promised “fight back once again” against a Trump administration just as it has against Trump as a private citizen, Fox News noted.

“It was a very cordial call, and listen, I said I’ll work with anybody,” Hochul said in Puerto Rico Friday, according to Politico. She said the phone call was just basic political goodwill, noting that she ”basically just reaffirmed there are areas we can work together, like infrastructure, where we rely on federal money, and he seems to share my priorities.”

New York state needs federal funding for a variety of projects, especially for its semiconductor plant near Syracuse. House Speaker Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) has put that cooperation in jeopardy. Hochul is committed to extending the Second Avenue Subway in Manhattan and to major upgrades to Penn Station, a busy but outdated transit hub. “I want Penn Station to be something that we’re all proud of. I said it can be beautiful. And he agreed,” she said of Trump.

Trump wants to turn New York City and the state away from being captives to government money. But he could be on a collision course with Hochul who said she will be “unrelenting in protecting the rights of New Yorkers.” The city council is increasingly at odds with the governor over the status of illegal immigrants in NYC.

“They had learned nothing and forgotten nothing.” – Often attributed to Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand

The Democratic election postmortem immediately descended into public blame-gaming—as expected. When Joe Biden was forced off the ticket in late July, the conspirators issued a party line that he was to be praised as a veritable George Washington—in the spirit of Washington’s farewell address of 1796 about why it was a good thing for the first president not to run for a third term.

So, we were lied to that Joe, the sitting President of the United States, was not forced out by Nancy Pelosi, the Obamas, George Clooney and the celebs, and the billionaire class. We instead were lectured that Biden, magnanimously as the neo-father of our country, selflessly bowed out to ensure Kamala Harris’s elevation as the nominee and, with it, a sure Democratic victory.

But now? After the Democratic train wreck, half the party is suddenly damning George Washington Joe for sticking around too long, even though party grandees cooked up the scheme in the first place of nominating the cognitively challenged Biden in 2020 to shut out his radical (and supposedly unelectable) primary rivals.

Kari Lake is still fighting in Arizona to defeat the open-border communist Ruben Gallego. President Trump easily took Arizona this year over Kamala Harris by six percentage points and 185,000 votes. But we are all supposed to believe that the same voters who chose Donald Trump then switched their down-ballot and voted for the open-border communist!? Obviously, Arizona is up to its old tricks again.

It was not an easy run for Kari Lake and several other Republicans. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell did not share any donations with Kari Lake, Texas Senator Ted Cruz, or Florida Senator Rick Scott. Instead, McConnell blew millions on Trump-hater Larry Hogan who was wiped out in Maryland. Mitch McConnell is not on our side.

Then, last week, McConnell called for a closed-door secret leadership vote for Senate Republicans this coming Wednesday. McConnell made the call before all of the votes were even counted.

Three Republicans have tossed their name into the ring. Senator Rick Scott, a MAGA Republican and former businessman. John Thune, a faithful lackey of Mitch McConnell and a war-pig. And John Cornyn who is an outspoken dolt and war-pig. […]

The Wall Street actor appeared Friday on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, where the episode revolved almost entirely on Trump’s stunning victory over Kamala Harris.

Michael Douglas, who is a longtime supporter of Democrat candidates, was clearly upset over Trump’s win.

“Wednesday morning, I was just so pissed at this razor thin race, right? It was going to be so close, you know, with all these polls — and it’s a wipeout,” Douglas said, adding that he later spent the day playing golf.

He said Democrats lost the election over the economy. […]

Rep. Dean Phillips, D-Minn., a guest on Fox News Sunday with Shannon Bream, said his voice and tens of millions of other Americans’ voices were ignored, suppressed and disenfranchised in this year’s presidential election. He announced in October 2023 that he was entering the Democratic primary race against President Joe Biden and in November that he was giving up his House seat after three terms. He said his voice was ignored.

Phillips was one of a very few Democrats who called on Biden to drop out of the race and make room for a new generation, months before that actually happened. “My voice, yes, was ignored, but tens of millions of Americans’ voices were ignored and suppressed and disenfranchised,” Phillips said, according to The Hill.

“I was not the only one that recognized what was likely to happen last week. I was the only one that was willing to say it live, and I think it is that culture of silence and pervasive incentives in our political system that is really costing our country and it’s not unique to one party or the other,” he said.

“No party has monopoly on ideas and I’m one of those getting sick and tired of it, trying to represent what I call the exhausted majority, center right, center left Americans who deserve better,” he said. […]

Saturday saw another day of rage and finger-pointing among Democrats after the crushing Election Day loss delivered to Vice President Kamala Harris by now-President-elect Donald Trump.

What was primarily rage against the American people for being too “stupid” to support Harris has now morphed into an intra-party circular firing squad, replete with plenty of angry finger-pointing.

Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who’s as left-wing as they come, issued a blistering statement on Wednesday, the day after the election. Sanders not only blamed Harris’ “disastrous” campaign for the historic loss; he also accused the Democrats of “abandoning working-class people.”

Sanders posted on X (formerly Twitter) that the historic loss should “come as no great surprise” after substantial numbers of working-class voters — first the white working class and then the Latino and black working classes — looked to Trump for help. That demonstrable reality drives the Democrat clown car absolutely insane. […]
