Jake Tapper’s stunned reaction goes viral after Kamala Harris fails to outperform Biden in a single state   "CNN anchor Jake Tapper is going viral for his stunned reaction early Wednesday when told that Vice President Kamala Harris had failed to outperform President Biden’s 2020 results in a single state.

Tapper asked CNN chief national correspondent John King to pull up a graphic showing in which states Harris had gotten at least 3% more votes than Biden had in the last election — just to be presented with a gray map reflecting her failure even in that.

“ 'Holy smokes!” Tapper gasped. “Literally nothing?” . . .

‘Mystified’ liberal PBS news commentator loses it over Trump’s strong performance on election night . . ."Liberal PBS News commentator Jonathan Capehart was left aghast at the preliminary election results suggesting that former President Donald Trump is in a strong spot.

“There’s a shift right and then there’s a shift to Trump,” Capehart vented on the program. “I am mystified in some ways simply because we’re talking about a twice-impeached, four-times-indicted, convicted-on-34-felony-counts former president.”

Watch How the Mainstream Media Freaked Out Over Trump's Victory

PJ Media

"They told us liberal women would deliver a Roe-vember. They told us there would be massive Puerto Rican backlash against Trump. They called Trump a fascist, Hitler, and a threat to democracy. In the end, the American people weren't buying it, and they sent Trump back to the White House.

"And it is glorious. 

"Trump not only won an Electoral College landslide (he's likely to get 312 Electoral College votes in the end) but he's also projected to win the popular vote. A true mandate if there ever was. 

"And the liberal media absolutely freaked out.

"Over at MSNBC, Joy Reid was absolutely unhinged:

CNN's Van Jones blamed sexism and racism, and cried a little"

Trump Victory Media Roundup: Establishment Goes Through the Stages of Grief 

"The classic stage of grief that follows anger is bargaining, but the leftist media blew by that one completely. These people, after all, are the ones who polarized and embittered American political discourse in the first place, painting Trump in such lurid terms that massive segments of the population are utterly terrified at the prospect of this neo-Hitler returning to the Oval Office. They’re not interested in compromise or any kind of bargaining; as always, they’re out for total control and the absolute destruction of those whom they consider their enemies."

Like Clockwork: Van Jones Blames Sexism and Racism for Why Kamala Lost

MSNBC, meanwhile, had massive sads over what Trump might do now, and the fact that there didn’t seem to be any way to stop him: “We can expect Trump will pardon the Jan. 6 rioters and summarily fire the prosecutors who tried to hold him accountable. Having been immunized by the Supreme Court, he may instruct the Department of Justice to go after his political opponents. He will likely abandon Ukraine and begin the process of weakening our alliances. A newly empowered Trump can, if he wishes, go about trying to gut or kill Obamacare outright, while also trying to impose massive new tariffs on the economy.” 

CNN, MSNBC anchors hold back tears after stunning Trump win: ‘Nightmare’

MSNBC “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough called “the scope and scale” of Trump’s victory “sweeping.”

Comment to this post: Let's be honest. All of the rhetoric and lies about Trump were a deciding factor in the huge victory for Trump. People know their own situations better than these paid political hacks with an anti-Trump agenda. Their first clue should have been the huge voter registration from Democrat to Republican.

The Jewish Press Endorses Donald Trump For President Of The United States

 The Jewish Press 

"That being so, do we want another four years: Of open borders with undocumented aliens, unvetted criminal immigrants and wrecked local economies? Of selective criminal prosecutions of political opponents?" . . . 

"On Tuesday Nov 5th, we Americans will have the opportunity to clearly indicate our choice between the two very different visions of America offered by the Republicans and Democrats this election go-around. For a while, though, this did not seem to be in the offing.

"To be sure, we had Mr. Trump’s record in presidential office as one frame of reference. But on the Democratic side, things were more complex. President Biden had a well-earned, historically low approval rating. But then came his unprecedented departure from the 2024 Democratic presidential campaign in favor of Vice-President Kamala Harris, as the result of some sordid political legerdemain by Democratic Party elders seeking to avoid what they believed to be the near certain defeat of Mr. Biden, the incumbent, at the polls.

"What the absence of an incumbent meant was that any accounting for Biden’s policies – and any possible course corrections – would come only as a result of how effectively the Trump campaign would be able to tie VP Harris to failed Biden decision-making. After all, it was Joe Biden who was the presumptive decision-maker-and her role was necessarily nebulous and therefore arguable.

"However, as we noted here last week, something odd happened. For some still unexplained reason, Ms. Harris said in an interview that there was no daylight between her and the President regarding his decisions:"

“You asked me what is the difference between Joe Biden and me… There is not a thing that comes to mind… and I’ve been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact.”

"By her very own words, we are invited to judge her by the actions of Mr. Biden and also to know what we can expect from a President Kamala Harris.

"That being so, do we want another four years:". . .

What’s In And What’s Out After Trump’s Stunning Victory

 I & I Editorial Board

"For more than a year, pundits in the mainstream media were feeding the public a steady diet of catchphrases, aphorisms, mantras, and predictions. Almost none of them turned out to be true.

"But being wrong has never caused elite media types to self-reflect. They just issue a new set of catchphrases, aphorisms, mantras, and predictions.

"So, rather than wait for them, we decided to make our own predictions. We will have much more to say about this election, about the unprecedented legal attacks, the vitriol hurled at half of American voters, about any violence that is unleashed by the left, about where the Democrats go from here, and so on.

"But for now, here is our list of what will be out and what will be in after this truly historic presidential election:' "   An excerpt below:

• Out: Violence is never the answer!                    
• In: Emotions are running high!!

• Out: I’m leaving the country if Trump wins!     
• In: I’m still planning to leave, dammit!!

• Out: Project 2025!
• In: Project 2025?

• Out: Trump will take away our freedoms!         
• In: Trump wants to repeal government mandates!!

• Out: Trump is a fascist
• In: Trump can’t make the trains run on time

• Out: Trump is a racist, facist, threat to democracy, and his supporters are semi-fascist garbage.
• In: It’s up to Trump to unite the country.

• Out: Kamala is amazing!                                    
• In: Harris was a terrible candidate!!

• Out: Biden was right to step down!                    
• In: Biden should have stayed in the race!! . . .

Fight! Fight! Fight! Vs. Fake, Fake, Fake

  J.B. Shurk

. . ."In contrast, an assassin kills one Trump-supporter, injures several others, and nearly takes President Trump’s life, and the propaganda press acts as if it never happened.  If that glaring inconsistency does not vividly demonstrate how fake the J6 “insurrection” narrative has been, nothing else can.  Unlike Kamala Harris, Donald Trump was nominated for president through a democratic process, and when democracy actually came under attack, the news media minimized it as a trifle.

 . . ."In the place of news that greatly matters, the propaganda press has filled the airwaves with demonstrable lies in the days leading up to the election.  Fake journalists lie about President Trump taking away birth control and forcing women to have babies against their will.  After covering up Joe Biden’s dementia for years, they now lie about Donald Trump showing fake signs of fatigue.  They parrot the FBI’s fake crime statistics and lie to Americans about the safety of their communities.  They parrot the CDC’s fake COVID statistics and lie to Americans about the success of lockdowns, mask mandates, and fake vaccines.  They parrot fake jobs reports and lie to Americans about economic growth.  Despite the fact that Kamala Harris has the lowest approval rating for any modern vice president, our fake journalists lie to Americans about her remarkable popular appeal.  And after mocking President Trump for being the victim of two separate assassination attempts, the propaganda press now pushes the lie that his words somehow threaten RINO Liz Cheney’s life.  The Deep State spews blatant lies, and the propaganda press treats those blatant lies as irrefutable truths. 

"There is good news.  After eight years of unremitting propaganda demonizing President Trump as the most dangerous threat to the United States, he has never been more popular.  Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and every other prominent Democrat in the country have called Trump a “fascist,” a “Nazi,” and “Hitler” reincarnated for years.  An MSNBC reporter recently asked a New York voter, “How does that message resonate with you?”  The voter paused, looked at the reporter, and replied, “It doesn’t.”  The reporter seemed surprised, but Americans see through their lies.

"President Trump survived an assassin’s bullet for a reason.  This is the time to choose a side.  All we must do is vote!  May God guide and protect us.  And remember: “Fight!  Fight!  Fight!' ”

Harris Supporters Were Asked to House Illegal Immigrants. Here's How They Responded.

Madeline Leesman ; Townhall 

Tony Branco

"Democrats are champions for so-called “sanctuary cities,” which allow illegal aliens to live in the United States and reap some of the benefits here. 

"While many Democrats claim that “no human is illegal,” when asked if they’d be open to housing illegals in their homes, many Democrats said no without hesitation. 

"In one case, two men pretending to be Harris campaign workers arrived at the homes of Democrat voters with illegal aliens in tow. When the voters were asked if they’d house the illegal immigrants, they all said no. 

 People pretending to be Kamala campaign workers went door-to-door, attempting to place illegal migrants in the homes of Democrats.

" According to several reports, in the town of Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, residents with Harris signs in their yards claim that they’ve received postcards stating that they will be hosting illegal immigrant families.

"NBC10 Boston interviewed a woman who received the postcard, who claimed that she was “creeped out.” She refused to show her face on camera.

"The postcard said that a family from Nicaragua would be moving into her house. 

" "That's when I realized it was an obvious attempt to try to either scare me or rage bait me and make me upset," the woman explained. "It's really sad that the country has come to this point where you can't put a lawn sign out and support a candidate without being harassed with something like this." . . .

Unrealized gains or losses: What they are and how they work  "Unrealized gains and losses are potential gains and losses from an investment that has not yet been sold. While selling investments can have tax consequences, that may not be true while you still hold on to it. That’s why they are “unrealized.”

"Selling investments can significantly impact your taxes, so it’s crucial to understand the potential implications. You should also understand the difference between realized and unrealized gains or losses. We’ll cover these differences and what they mean for you as an investor.

What is an unrealized gain/loss?

"An unrealized gain or loss is the change in value of a stock, bond or other asset you have purchased but not yet sold. The gain or loss is “unrealized” or “on paper,” as some refer to it, because you are still holding the investment. The gain or loss is only determined or “realized” when you sell the asset.

"One reason we discuss unrealized gains and losses is the potential tax implications once the investment is sold. We will discuss taxes at greater length in another section, but generally, realized gains result in a capital gains tax, while realized losses allow investors to offset their taxes.

How unrealized capital gains and losses work

"Investment values constantly fluctuate, regardless of the investment type. Whether the investment has increased or decreased will determine if you have unrealized gains or unrealized losses. You will have unrealized gains if the asset’s value has increased since you purchased it. Conversely, if the asset’s value has decreased, they have an unrealized loss." . . .

What Harris' plan to tax unrealized gains means for the wealthy . . ."Biden has called for a billionaire minimum tax in his 2025, 2024 and 2023 fiscal year budgets, and Senate Democrats pushed for a similar levy in October 2021. But the proposals have failed to gain traction.

“ 'There’s very little political support for this,” said Steve Rosenthal, senior fellow at the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center.

"The Harris campaign did not provide a comment to CNBC.

"There’s also been pushback from the business community. Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban on Thursday told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” that he doesn’t think Harris would tax unrealized gains.

“ 'Every conversation I’ve had is that it’s not going to happen,” he said.

“ 'If you tax unrealized gains, you’re going to kill the stock market,” he added." . . .

What the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings reveal about Kamala Harris

What the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings reveal about Kamala Harris 

. . ."Critics at the time, however, said Harris’s treatment of Kavanaugh was an obvious and out-of-line attempt to raise her political profile. And now that Harris is the presumptive Democratic nominee for vice president, Trump has repeatedly attacked her approach to the Kavanaugh hearings.

“She was extraordinarily nasty to Kavanaugh — Judge Kavanaugh then, now Justice Kavanaugh,” Trump told reporters on Tuesday during a briefing at the White House, not long after Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, announced Harris as his running mate. “She was nasty to a level that was just a horrible thing the way she was,” Trump said.

"In an interview Thursday with Fox Business’s Maria Bartiromo, Trump called Harris a “mad woman.” . . .

When Kamala Harris was 'extraordinarily nasty' to Brett Kavanaugh   

“She was extraordinarily nasty to Kavanaugh, Judge Kavanaugh, now Justice Kavanaugh,” Trump said during a Tuesday briefing. “She was nasty to a level that was just a horrible thing the way she was, the way she treated now-Justice Kavanaugh. And I won’t forget that soon." 

"Harris, a former prosecutor, expanded her profile back in 2018 with her grilling of Kavanaugh, who was left with a loss of words when Harris referred to abortion regulations."

 Kamala Harris’ Unserious, Demagogic Questioning of Judicial Nominees | National Review   "Kamala Harris did not serve a full term in the Senate before becoming her party’s nominee for vice president. Elected in 2016, she was assigned to the Senate Judiciary Committee in January 2018 after Al Franken’s resignation and Doug Jones’ special election victory. That short window was enough for her to display her true colors as a radical ideologue and a demagogue, rather than a serious member of the upper chamber.

"Mere seconds into the start of Brett Kavanaugh’s hearings in 2018, Harris interrupted the chairman, Chuck Grassley, ultimately launching a torrent of interruptions, not only by screeching protestors, but also by Democratic senators. When committee members were finally able to ask their questions, Harris began her turn with a set of bizarre “gotcha” questions as to whether Kavanaugh had ever discussed Robert Mueller’s investigation of the Trump campaign with anyone from the law firm Kasowitz Benson Torres, which she hardly let him answer. It was a transparent effort to set a perjury trap for the nominee, executed ineptly enough to leave both viewers and the nominee perplexed as to precisely what she was talking about.

"Predictably, she later fanned the flames of the defamatory allegations of sexual abuse made against Kavanaugh without corroboration, tweeting that the allegations were “credible,” then pushing the nominee during his hearings to ask the White House to authorize an FBI investigation. And a year later, she shamelessly doubled down and called for Kavanaugh to be impeached.". . .

""Her empathy for illegal criminals instead of Americans has cost many American women and young girls their lives. We don’t know how many because the FBI doesn’t tell us.

We know about Rachel Morin, the mother of five who was accosted on her run, (allegedly) raped and murdered by an El Salvadoran illegal. We know about 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, who was (allegedly) raped for hours by two Venezuelan immigrants and then strangled to death and left in a Texas ditch.

Trump Just Earned a Major Endorsement on Election Eve

. . ."Thanks to Elon Musk for putting in the final argument and thanks to Joe Rogan for making the endorsement and the case for Trump. That's also likely to help others who might be on the fence about the question since he has the most popular podcast on the planet with millions of viewers. His interview with Trump had over 45 million views the last time I checked. 

"It's fascinating to have two folks like Musk and Rogan, both of whom one might have considered liberal on some issues, move in this direction for the greater purpose of common sense and sanity. Because they're seeing the patent dangers out there and they don't want them for the country. 

"Rogan also saw the games that Kamala Harris was trying to play with even a simple thing such as an interview with him. Then when he stuck to his guns not to be manipulated to give her what she wanted, she wouldn't go on his show. That was a choice and it said a lot about her." . . . 

Pittsburgh’s Jewish Democrats consider voting for Trump after Harris campaign cozies up to anti-Israel politicians in Pennsylvania

Some Jewish voters in swing states reconsider their devotion to Democrats | AP News    "For Rona Kaufman, the signs are everywhere that more Jews feel abandoned by the Democratic Party and may vote for Republican Donald Trump.

" It’s in her Facebook feed. It’s in the discomfort she observed during a question-and-answer at a recent Democratic Party campaign event in Pittsburgh. It’s in her own family.

“The family that is my generation and older generations, I don’t think anybody is voting for Harris, and we’ve never voted Republican, ever,” Kaufman, 49, said, referring to Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris. “My sister has a Trump sign outside her house, and that is a huge shift.”

"How big a shift? Surveys continue to find that most Jewish voters still support the Democratic ticket, and Kaufman acknowledges that she’s an exception.

"Still, any shift could have enormous implications in Pennsylvania, where tens of thousands of votes decided the past two presidential elections. Many Jewish voters say the 2024 presidential election is like no other in memory, coming amid the growing fallout from Hamas’ brutal attack on Israelis last year.

"Jews represent a sliver of the voting-age population in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, the so-called blue wall of states that Democrats have come to rely on in recent presidential elections. In a close election, they are a big enough constituency that the campaigns of Harris and Trump see the potential for any slippage to swing a close contest."

Harris Is Ending Her Campaign With Lies and Smears

Called by those who know Kamala as a "mean girl" , she hopes to do to Trump what she did to Judge Kavanaugh. TD

Victor Davis Hanson 

So, in final desperation, Harris is smearing Trump as a fascist, even though, ironically, he has been the target of fascist machinations from her own party and supporters for nearly a decade. 

Broc 

 "In the last two weeks, Vice President Kamala Harris has been trying to revive her stagnant campaign by smearing former President Donald Trump as being Hitlerian and a fascist. She claims Trump is planning to put his enemies in encampments.

"Yet in the modern era, it was not Trump who put large numbers of U.S. residents and citizens into “relocation camps,” but liberal Democrat President Franklin D. Roosevelt who sent Japanese-American citizens and residents into them.

"If Harris refers to Trump’s supposed fascist policies during his prior four-year tenure, there is no such evidence.

"Nonetheless, the once “joyful” Harris is ending her campaign by trafficking in lies and smears reminiscent of the Joe McCarthy era.

"Recall that fascists hijack law enforcement and the military to suspend constitutional rights and punish enemies. But Trump did neither.

"Instead, in 2016, a corrupt FBI went after Trump himself during the Obama administration with the bogus Steele dossier." . . .

Biden's hatred for Donald Trump seems beyond control

‘Kind of guy you'd like to smack in the ass’: Joe Biden unleashes on Donald Trump

Democrats hate Donald Trump more than they love America. TD

How hate for Trump may have triumphed over love for Biden — and Trump | CBC News

"When U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton ended her 2016 campaign at a rally in North Carolina, she recited a mantra the party believed would prove successful in defeating Donald Trump: "Love trumps hate."

"Yet that slogan, in reverse, may have been a significant key to Trump's defeat in 2020. For it seems that a number of voters supporting Joe Biden may have been motivated more by their loathing for the current Republican president than their passion for the Democratic candidate.

"And while polls consistently showed voters for Donald Trump were more enthusiastic about their candidate than Biden voters were for theirs, in the end, opposition to Trump and his presidency may have been just too strong a force to overcome.

"Or as Jason Whitlock, a sports writer, TV personality and radio host, recently said on Fox News, Trump supporters "love Donald Trump. Biden supporters hate Donald Trump."
