BOOM: Trump’s Lawyers SAVAGE Letitia James… Threaten PRISON If She Plays More Of Her Games

 Wes Walker; Clash Daily  

 "If anyone could accuse Trump of being on ‘defense’ during his witch-hunt trials, he’s going on full offense now.

"What’s that old line about attempting a coup? If you come for the king you’d best not miss?

"Letitia James got the math wrong in her calculations. Badly.

"Last spring, she was licking her chops at the possiblity of seizing a Trump property to make Trump ‘pay’. Now, he’s President-elect, and her victory has turned to ashes in her mouth.

"Womp-womp.

"When we said Trump was now ‘on offense’, here’s what we meant:

"He has a warning for Letitia James, who followed up her recognition of Trump’s with with an announcement of her intention to be a perpetual pain in Trump’s ass.

" 'I dare you to try to continue your lawfare agasinst President Trump and his second term. Because listen here sweetheart, we’re not messing around this time. And we will put your fat ass in prison for conspiracy against rights. I promise you that, so think long and hard before you want to violate President Trump’s constitutional rights or any other American’s constitutional rights. It’s not going to happen again." . . .

The Opportunity Of Trump’s Victory

 Caroline Glick; "How Donald Trump’s victory and Israeli Defense Minister Gallant’s firing pave the way for a strategic realignment in the Middle East that will serve as the foundation of regional peace and stability." One wonders if the angry anti-Trump rallies contain the same keffieh-clad, ill-educated, youthful-voiced horde.

"By working together to achieve common goals, Israel and the United States, under Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump, can secure the peace of the Middle East and their nations’ separate and common interests in the international arena, to the benefit of the world as a whole."

"A collective sigh of relief was heard across Israel as the results of the U.S. presidential election were declared. But we cannot rest on our laurels. At this critical juncture, Israel must carefully assess the challenges it faces in the immediate term, as the lame-duck Biden administration completes its term. And it must set goals for the next four years to ensure that the opportunity Donald Trump’s return to the White House affords us is not squandered.

"To understand the immediate requirements, we need to remember what happened during Barack Obama’s final months in office.

"No longer concerned about winning an election, in December 2016, the Obama administration decided the time had come to punish Israel for opposing its nuclear appeasement of Iran and for rejecting its efforts to establish a Palestinian terror state. That month, America’s U.N. ambassador Samantha Power drafted an anti-Israel resolution that declared all Israeli presence beyond the 1949 armistice lines—including the Western Wall in Jerusalem—illegal. Power then pawned it off on other Security Council member states to sponsor and abstained from the vote, ensuring the passage of what became U.N. Security Council Resolution 2234.

"Resolution 2234 was the most anti-Israel resolution ever passed in the Security Council. It effectively called for an international boycott of all Israeli activities beyond the 1949 armistice lines. But 2234 wasn’t meant to be a standalone event. The Obama team planned to pass an additional resolution that would set out a timetable for Israel to agree to a Palestinian state in Hamas-controlled Gaza, all of Judea and Samaria and eastern, southern and northern Jerusalem. The resolution was supposed to include sanctions on Israel if it failed to capitulate within the set time schedule.

"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu worked with Trump’s transition team to scuttle it. Netanyahu and Trump’s advisers appealed to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who signaled that Russia would veto the resolution. Stunned, the Obama team angrily shuffled away.

"There is good reason to assume that in the two and a half months before Trump returns to office, the outgoing Biden team intends to get that long-shelved resolution passed." . . .

Dutch king ‘We failed the Jews again’  By Vered Weiss, World Israel News

"King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands expressed “deep horror and shock” over attacks against Israelis after Thursday’s Maccabi-Ajax football game in Amsterdam when at least 10 Israelis were injured by a mob and three were missing for nearly 12 hours.

"He said that the attacks, which were on the eve of the anniversary of Kristallnacht, was reminiscent of ‘dark and grim times for the Jewish people.

“ 'We failed the Jewish community of the Netherlands during World War II, and last night we failed again,” the Dutch king said to Israeli President Isaac Herzog in a phone call on Friday morning.

"The king added that the attacks should be “unequivocally condemned” and urged Dutch authorities to take action to ensure the safety of Jews and Israelis in the Netherlands.

"In addition, he urged an investigation into the incident.

"In an organized attack, an anti-Israel mob began attacking Israeli Maccabi fans after the match resulting in injuries for over 10 Israelis and three who were missing until they were located on Friday afternoon." . . .

'A new Kristallnacht': Jewish, Israeli figures express horror over Amsterdam pogrom . . ."Exactly 86 years after Kristallnacht, when Nazis, along with ordinary Germans hunted Jews through the streets of Europe, we see their ideological heirs rampaging through the streets of Amsterdam once again seeking to spill Jewish blood,” said CEO of CAM Sacha Roytman Dratwa.

“Thousands of Islamists, who are today's neo-Nazis in ideology and action, in a clearly premeditated and organized fashion, targeted Jews in what feels to many as a loud echo from history.”

Dratwa stressed a difference between 1939 and today: the State of Israel.

"The Jews won't wait around like they did in '39," Dratwa added. "They'll leave, leaving you to deal with the extremism that has been allowed to fester." . . .

"Anne Frank Museum Closed To Tourists As 1000 Jews Currently Hiding In Attic"

(Satire) AMSTERDAM — The Anne Frank House, a historic landmark with attached museum, announced today that it was currently closed to tourists following a slew of anti-semitic attacks in the area, leading to a sudden influx of approximately 1,000 Jews hiding in the building's attic.

"Sorry, folks, the museum is closed," Museum Curator Ezekiel Steinberg said. "We are, uh, beyond capacity. But don't worry, as soon as it's safe for Jews to come out of hiding again, we'll open back up."

Anne Frank and her family famously hid in the attic of Prinsengracht 263 for just over two years until being discovered by the Nazis. Now, Israelis who came to town for the Europa League football match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Ajax are hoping to break that record as they hide from angry Muslims.

"They'll never find us here because it's called 'the secret annex,'" said Rabbi Jonah Abramstein, referring to the name used for the attic by the Frank family. "It's secret. It's in the name. No one would think to look for Jews here." . . .Full article here

President-Elect Trump Extends Astounding Olive Branch to Democrats for Sake of 'Desperately Needed Unity'

 RedState 

So here's the salient question. Will the Democrat National Committee (DNC) and/or Kamala Harris accept Trump's benevolent offer, or will they pridefully cut off the arrogant noses to spite their radical left faces? My gut tells me the latter

"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 in the 2020 Presidential Election, raising a record amount of money, didn’t have lots of $’s left over. Now they are being squeezed by vendors and others. Whatever we can do to help them during this difficult period, I would strongly recommend we, as a Party and for the sake of desperately needed UNITY, do. We have a lot of money left over in that our biggest asset in the campaign was “Earned Media,” and that doesn’t cost very much. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!  (All emphases in original)

"Yes, the president-elect made the offer in classic Trumpian style, but the question is whether he truly means what he wrote. I believe he does, for the reason he stated. This country remains ripped apart, and Trump is now in a unique position to help it heal -- in a demonstrative, actionable way, vs. lip service,  which is customarily thrown about by both parties after an election." . . .  Full article here..

James Carville Traces Kamala Harris' Massive Election Defeat Back to 'The View'

Twitchy  

Think about it: The legacy media is wondering why they've lost their influence and all they need to do is realize that the most telling question that exposed Harris' lack of preparation came from one of the panelists of Kamala cheerleaders on "The View."  

Broc Smith

"The eventual collapse of the Harris-Walz campaign can be partly traced back to many things. The Dems ended up showing Biden the door and replacing him with a far-Left nominee with a record and past comments they worked hard to hide. The whole campaign was fake and that was obvious, but then they brought Tim Walz aboard to win over midwestern men. Yeah, we're still laughing at that one too. 

"Harris also avoided tough interviews and even botched the softball ones. That brings us to what James Carville blames to a large degree for Harris getting wiped out on election day, which was her answer to a question from Sunny Hostin on "The View" about what she'd do different from Biden. You might remember Harris' answer: "There is not a thing that comes to mind in terms of — and I’ve been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact."

"James Carville said that was a turning point: . . ."

Confirmed: FEMA Ordered Relief Workers to Skip Hurricane-Ravaged Homes With Trump Signs

Matt Vespa: Townhall  

These people can and will use institutional power to punish their political enemies, which is why the ‘Trump will weaponize the DOJ’ talking points aren’t working; you people already did that. Is anyone wondering why Special Counsel Jack Smith is in the process of shutting down his sham legal actions against Trump?

Passover when Democrats rule

"When Hurricane Milton crashed into Florida, officials from the Federal Emergency Management Agency ordered relief workers to skip homes with signs supporting Donald Trump in the 2024 election. This isn’t hyperbole or an allegation; it was confirmed by FEMA. The Daily Wire had the scoop [emphasis mine]:

A federal disaster relief official ordered workers to bypass the homes of Donald Trump’s supporters as they surveyed damage caused by Hurricane Milton in Florida, according to internal correspondence obtained by The Daily Wire and confirmed by multiple federal employees. 

A FEMA supervisor told workers in a message to “avoid homes advertising Trump” as they canvassed Lake Placid, Florida to identify residents who could qualify for federal aid, internal messages viewed by The Daily Wire reveal. The supervisor, Marn’i Washington, relayed this message both verbally and in a group chat used by the relief team, multiple government employees told The

Daily Wire

Daily Wire. 

The government employees told The Daily Wire that at least 20 homes with Trump signs or flags were skipped from the end of October and into November due to the guidance, meaning they were not given the opportunity to qualify for FEMA assistance. Images shared with The Daily Wire show that houses were skipped over by the workers, who wrote in the government system messages such as: “Trump sign no entry per leadership.” 

[…]

 The FEMA agents ordered not to help houses with Trump signs were operating in Highlands County, a deep-red area located in south central Florida that backed Trump by 70% on Tuesday. It was hit with tornadoes, torrential wind and rain, and flooding when Milton hit in October. . .

We need to make some more room on the really long list of things the Democrats called "disinformation" that turned out to be true.

Justice Is Coming: Ron DeSantis Orders Investigation Into FEMA's Disaster Relief Discrimination

If you watched Biden's face during his speeches at Freedom Hall in Philadelphia, the last State Of The Union address, and Biden's speech at the DNC Convention, you would hate Trump's voters as well.

UPDATE: FEMA Official Who Ordered Bypassing of Trump Supporters' Homes 'Removed From Role'

The FEMA official instructed workers canvassing Lake Placid in Florida to 'avoid homes advertising Trump'  

. . ."This is an unforgivable breach of trust. In any disaster recovery operation like this, bypassing any citizens because of their political affiliation should be dealt with more harshly than just "removing them" from the role - dismissal would be indicated, right?" . . .

Wicked FEMA Supervisor Who Ordered Staff to Avoid Homes with Trump Flags Is Relieved of Duty – FEMA Needs to Explain How This Was Allowed to Happen!

. . ."FEMA official Marn’i Washington ordered her staff to avoid assisting homes with Trump flags in their yards following the aftermath of a recent hurricane in Florida. Marn’i wanted them to suffer for their support for Donald Trump.

"A whistleblower came forward with text messages revealing FEMA official Marn’i Washington ordered relief workers to purposely skip over homes in Florida displaying Trump signs in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton.

"According to internal messages obtained by The Daily Wire, FEMA discriminated against Trump supporters in need of help in the aftermath of the most recent hurricanes that passed through the Southeast." . . .

"FEMA employees told the Daily Wire that Washington has not been punished for the guidance — and was simply shifted to a different Florida county. However, a FEMA spokesperson told The Post that Washington is “no longer working in the state of Florida or in any FEMA operations at this moment” pending the outcome of an investigation.   The race card will be played in three...two...one...

Who Might Serve in Trump’s Second Administration?

I am sorry for those Israeli men, women and children who will not see the Trump victory because they were murdered by the Hamas raids and massacre, also any innocent Arabs killed because of Israel's response to the actions of Hamas. TD

People pass by a congratulatory billboard showing U.S. President-elect Donald Trump in Tel Aviv, Israel, Nov. 7. 

"Washington is deep in the throes of its favorite parlor game—trading gossip on who is set to serve in the second Trump administration.

"Here’s a look at who is confirmed, rumored, and vying for a top job—and who has turned them down. A word of caution: Two days after the election, almost everything is informed speculation at this point.

"Brian Hook, who served as the director of policy planning and special envoy for Iran in the first Trump administration, is expected to lead the transition team at the State Department, CNN reports.

"Robert Wilkie, the former Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs, is running point on the Pentagon’s transition team, Politico reports.

"Peter Deutsch, a former Democratic U.S. representative from Florida has expressed interest in becoming the next U.S. ambassador to Israel, Jewish Insider reports.

"Sen. Tom Cotton has said he would not accept an offer of a cabinet position, despite being a top contender, Axios scoops.

"Politico reports that Sens. Marco Rubio and Bill Hagerty and former acting National Intelligence Director Ric Grenell have been mentioned as potential contenders for secretary of state.

"Other names that we’re hearing as likely contenders for senior positions include the following: Florida Rep. Mike Waltz, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, former chief of staff on the National Security Council Keith Kellogg, former chief of staff to the acting Defense Secretary Kash Patel, former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, former National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien, and former Deputy Assistant Defense Secretary Elbridge Colby."

The Fragile Legacy of Barack Obama

 Boston Review

"In the end there are only two ways a president can forge a legacy in U.S. politics: accomplish things with bipartisan support, or nurture his political party so that people are elected who will carry on and protect his accomplishments. Obama’s legacy is in trouble because he did neither."

https://www.terrellaftermath.com/

"It becomes clearer every day that Barack Obama, a historic president, presided over a somewhat less than historic presidency. With only one major legislative achievement (Obamacare)—and a fragile one at that—the legacy of Obama’s presidency mainly rests on its tremendous symbolic importance and the fate of a patchwork of executive actions.

"How much of that was due to fate and how much was due to Obama’s own shortcomings as a politician is up for debate and is a question that emerges from Princeton historian Julian Zelizer’s new edited volume, The Presidency of Barack Obama.

"With contributions from seventeen historians, the book bills itself as “a first historical assessment” of the Obama presidency. The overwhelming consensus, Zelizer writes, is that Obama “turned out to be a very effective policymaker but not a tremendously successful party builder.” This “defining paradox of Obama’s presidency” comes up again and again: the historians, by and large, approve of Obama’s policies (although some find them too timid) while they lament his politics.

"The politics were pretty disastrous. As Zelizer summarizes, “During his presidency, even as he enjoyed reelection and strong approval ratings toward the end of this term, the Democratic Party suffered greatly. . . . 

"Democrats lost more than one thousand seats in state legislatures, governors’ mansions, and Congress during his time in office.” Zelizer could have gone further. According to Ballotpedia, more Democratic state legislative seats were lost under Obama than under any president in modern history." . . .

Another Big Nov. 5 Loser: Left’s ‘Lawfare’ Campaign Against Trump, MAGA

 Issues & Insights 

" . . .Both Garland and Smith have dirtied their names and offices by politicizing the law. Now they will skulk away, without censure, impeachment, or any other well-deserved punishment for their politically motivated misconduct of recent years." 

"Of all the excesses of the four-year Trump interregnum that was the Biden-Harris administration, none was worse than the left’s use of our legal system to exact political retribution and “send a message” to those who dared oppose progressive extremism. It had all the markings of totalitarian behavior, but now it’s going down in flames.

"The idea of America as a nation ruled by laws, not by the biases and whims of political powers, has been central to our country’s identity and stability since its very founding. It’s what makes our country unique in the world.

"But after Biden’s 2020 election win, Democrats repeatedly used spurious and at times fraudulent readings of our laws to get revenge on Donald Trump and those who had the temerity to publicly support him.

"They first went after those who demonstrated at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Many of them still imprisoned and suffering under false charges of “insurrection.” More than 1,530 were charged with crimes and about 615 have served, or are still serving, lengthy prison terms, basically for staging a rowdy protest in front of Congress over the 2020 presidential election.

"Meanwhile, those who rioted during the long, hot summer of 2020, leading to at least 28 deaths and more than $2 billion in property and other damage, went virtually uncharged for their violent crimes. Why? It was for a cause, the death of drug addict George Floyd at the hands of the police. It turned out, his death was not caused by the police. To the left, it didn’t matter. It still doesn’t.

"They then went after Trump’s political allies and advisers, such as Steve Bannon. He was released from prison at the end of October after serving four months for “contempt of Congress” charges for refusing to comply with a subpoena to testify.

"Looking for bigger game, emboldened progressive prosecutors went after Trump, hitting him with 116 felony charges in four separate cases brought by federal prosecutors under Attorney General Merrick Garland and lefty blue-state legal authorities.

"The threatening political message sent from those on the left was plain: if you dare oppose us, you are an enemy of the people, and you will be jailed or imprisoned. No mercy." . . .

The Back-Stabbing Between Harris and Biden Begins, and Things Are Getting Very Spicy

RedState  "With Donald Trump's landslide victory in the rear-view mirror, the recriminations among Democrats have begun. That's the great thing about the transition period. It's uniquely enjoyable in that the victors aren't in power yet and thus can't be blamed for anything, but the losers fight it out over who was at fault. Grab your popcorn because things are going to get spicy. 

"Before we get to the quotes, though, it's important to lay out the battle lines. To do that, you only have to understand one thing: The Joe Biden camp has always hated the Kamala Harris camp. From the beginning of the now-outgoing administration, the long knives have been out. For example, I wrote the following piece back in 2021. 

READ: The Long Knives Come Out for Kamala Harris As Her Vice-Presidency Continues to Collapse

Worn out by what they see as entrenched dysfunction and lack of focus, key West Wing aides have largely thrown up their hands at Vice President Kamala Harris and her staff — deciding there simply isn’t time to deal with them right now, especially at a moment when President Joe Biden faces quickly multiplying legislative and political concerns.

The exasperation runs both ways. Interviews with nearly three dozen former and current Harris aides, administration officials, Democratic operatives, donors and outside advisers — who spoke extensively to CNN — reveal a complex reality inside the White House.

Gloomy Nancy Pelosi ducks questions on swapping out Biden for Harris, gets heated with Donna Brazile at VP concession speech    "A glum-looking Nancy Pelosi avoided The Post’s questions Wednesday about her role in swapping in Kamala Harris for President Biden as the 2024 Democratic nominee — after getting in a tense discussion with ex-Democratic National Committee chair Donna Brazile ahead of the vice president’s concession speech at Howard University.

" 'Do you think it was a mistake to kick Joe Biden off the ballot?” The Post inquired as the former House speaker left the event.

"The 84-year-old Pelosi, who was elected Tuesday to a 20th term representing her San Francisco-based district in the House, ignored all inquiries — including one about whether she expected to run again in 2026." . . .

Dems rage against Biden’s ‘arrogance’ after Harris loss    "Democrats are directing their rage over losing the presidential race at Joe Biden, who they blame for setting up Kamala Harris for failure by not dropping out sooner.

"They say his advancing age, questions over his mental acuity and deep unpopularity put Democrats at a sharp disadvantage. They are livid that they were forced to embrace a candidate who voters had made clear they did not want — and then stayed in the race long after it was clear he couldn’t win." . . .

“There was a Biden weariness,” James Zogby, a three-decade veteran of the Democratic National Committee, said of the shift among the electorate in recent years. “And he hung on too long.”

2 New Yorkers busted in plot to stalk, assassinate Trump ordered by Iran, bombshell indictment reveals

NY Post

 Other would-be targets of the trio included two “Jewish businesspeople residing in New York City,” according to the complaint. Shakeri claimed the IRGC had provided pictures of both potential victims, which “appeared to come from social media and which indicated [their] support for Israel.”

Video: Maybe not these Iranians, but pretty much like them and the liberals they influence. 

"The Iranian government instructed one of its agents to stalk and assassinate former President Donald Trump this past September, according to a bombshell indictment unsealed by Manhattan federal prosecutors Friday. 

"The indictment, which charges Iranian Farhad Shakeri and two New Yorkers with murder for hire and conspiracy, states that an unnamed official in Iran’s notorious Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) instructed Shakeri in the final weeks of the 2024 campaign to “focus on surveilling, and, ultimately, assassinating, former President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.” 

"Prosecutors say that when Shakeri noted that the plot would “cost a ‘huge’ amount of money,” the IRGC official said that “we have already spent a lot of money … [s]o the money’s not an issue.”

"In a phone conversation with an FBI agent, Shakeri said he was instructed by the IRGC on Oct. 7 of this year to have a plan in place to kill Trump “within seven days.”

"If Shakeri did not meet his deadline, the IRGC contact allegedly said, the hit on Trump would be postponed until after the election, which Tehran assessed that the Republican nominee would lose “and, afterward, it would be easier to assassinate [him].” . . .
