America’s Victory: Trump’s Win Saved America

 . . ."He has excelled and will do so again in this colossal task because it is evident to Americans that he loves America, the American people, and is a fighter. The American people gave Trump his victory because they saw that Trump’s triumph is America’s."


The American people gave Trump his victory because they saw that Trump’s triumph is America’s.     "President Donald Trump’s election victory on November 5 was an epochal event in American history. The American people gave Trump a mandate with almost 51% of the vote. He received over 73 million votes, more than four million more than his opponent. A new American coalition—traditional Republican voters united with lower middle class, working class, African Americans, Hispanics, and white women—provided the monumental victory. At such a significant time, it is important to consider how America arrived at such a historical moment and what must be accomplished in the years ahead.

"Retrospectively, Americans must understand how they came to this place in their history. According to the exit polls, a whopping 72% of Americans understood that their country was on the wrong path. America’s political ideology, culture, and traditions were under assault by the so-called “progressive” wing of the Democrat Party. The Biden-Harris administration weakened the economy, caused inflation rates not seen since the 1970s, opened U.S. borders to some 15 million people and facilitated their relocation throughout the U.S. and so weaponized the legal system to wage lawfare against Trump, his major political and legal advisors, and against many of his supporters.

"In the realm of foreign and defense policy, the debacle of the withdrawal from Afghanistan, the failure to deter the war in Ukraine, the horrific attacks against Israel on October 7, 2023, and the subsequent wars it unleashed. Significantly, the Biden-Harris regime failed to deter Communist China’s hyper-aggression directed against U.S. allies like the Philippines and partners like Taiwan, and most importantly against the American people through the deaths of a quarter of a million of our fellow citizens from Chinese-provided fentanyl and the intellectual capture of so many of the American elite who parrot the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) policy positions to advance the CCP’s interests.

"The deeper cause of how America arrived at this point is the embrace of Marxism by the Democratic Party and thus its increasing totalitarianism and alienation from the American people. In its embrace of this ideology, the Democrat Party demonstrated that it had completely become detached from the American experience, ideology, history, and culture in its effort to transform America into a one-party state on the road to totalitarianism. The American people saw this effort to continue the “fundamental transformation” of America—as Obama identified it on the eve of the 2008 election—and rejected it." . . .

November 20, 1945: Nuremberg Trials Get Underway

The American Catholic



“But the most interesting — although horrible — sight that I encountered during the trip was a visit to a German internment camp near Gotha. The things I saw beggar description. While I was touring the camp I encountered three men who had been inmates and by one ruse or another had made their escape. I interviewed them through an interpreter. The visual evidence and the verbal testimony of starvation, cruelty and bestiality were so overpowering as to leave me a bit sick. In one room, where they [there] were piled up twenty or thirty naked men, killed by starvation, George Patton would not even enter. He said he would get sick if he did so. I made the visit deliberately, in order to be in position to give first-hand evidence of these things if ever, in the future, there develops a tendency to charge these allegations merely to ‘propaganda’.”

General Eisenhower letter to General George Marshall 4/15/45

The Nuremberg Trials got under way seventy-nine years ago today.  One may cavil at some of the procedures used during the trials and the presence of Soviet judges and prosecutors at the trial, but no decent human being can ever claim that the crimes committed by the leaders of the Third Reich, in Eisenhower’s phrase, beggar description.  The video at the beginning of this post consists of film shot by the Army Signal Corps, at Eisenhower’s order, of the Nazi death camps and was admitted into evidence at the Nuremberg trial.  It makes for grim viewing, but the reality it reflected must never be forgotten.

CNN’s lone conservative voice, Scott Jennings, strikes again. "Lonely Scott" (Bill Maher)

CNN’s Scott Jennings Mocks the Left for Endless False Narrative About ‘Literally Hitler’ . . .

Newly Unearthed Video Shows Hitler Did The Trump Dance

Babylon Bee toon added by Tunnel Dweller.

. . ."He singled out Joe Scarborough and Mika of Morning Joe, who recently met with Trump after warning for months that he was a fascist and the end of democracy.

"FOX News reports:

CNN pundit mocks liberals for friendly meetings with Trump after endless attacks on ‘literal Hitler’

Following news that Trump held a meeting with MSNBC co-hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough this week, and Trump’s cordial summit with President Biden at the White House last week, Jennings remarked on the about-face, considering both the pundits and president have consistently labeled him a fascist threat.

“I‘m amazed. I did not expect Hitler to get so many meeting requests, first from Joe Biden, now from Mika and Joe,” Jennings told a panel on “CNN NewsNight” Monday evening.

“It‘s amazing that literal Hitler is getting all these meeting requests,” he added with a wry smile on his face. He went on to say these examples of diplomacy with Trump prove that prominent liberals defrauded Democratic voters with their rhetoric on Trump being a dictator, including on “Morning Joe.”

“And what it tells me, professor,” he said to fellow panelist Jeff Jarvis, “is that all the rhetoric that came from the left, from the Democrats, from the White House, from Kamala Harris and everyone else before the election, all of the rhetoric – the fascism, the Hitler, the Nazi rally – it was all a bunch of BS. They didn‘t mean any of it.”

"Watch the video, this is great: 

Scott Jennings on CNN defended Hegseth, saying, “He's got 20 years in service. Afghanistan, Iraq. Two bronze stars. Princeton, Harvard. Yeah, he’s on TV, but so are the rest of us.”

The network is dumping its $20 million-a-year anchor, Anderson Vanderbilt Cooper. Looks like they are prepping Jennings for his own show.

‘Sounds Like Peter Strzok’: Jordan Grills FEMA Director Over Text Message Telling Workers To Avoid Trump Supporters

 Daily Caller
. . .“The text message said: implement best practices like — this is the best practices, we’re gonna implement them and they talk about making sure you go in pairs or with more than one person, avoid the Trump homes, drink your water, take your towel, coconut water.”



"Republican Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio compared a text message allegedly sent to disaster relief workers to comments by disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok Tuesday while questioning Federal Emergency Management Agency Director Deanne Criswell about a directive to skip houses whose residents advertised their support for President-elect Donald Trump.

The text message, reportedly sent by former FEMA Disaster Survivor Assistance crew leader Marn’i Washington, listed a series of “best practices” that included avoiding “homes advertising Trump signs.” Jordan pressed Criswell about the message, putting it on screen during a House Oversight Committee hearing. (RELATED: Harris Faulkner Shuts Down Dem Who Immediately Tries To Pivot Away From Biden-Harris Hurricane Response)

“She said it’s common practice, you said it’s reprehensible and isolated. Both statements can’t be true, so someone’s not giving us the facts and I’m trying to figure out who’s not telling the truth,” Jordan told Criswell, who said the agency was investigating.

After Jordan pressed Criswell about another FEMA employee saying Washington had to have been given those instructions by superiors, he turned to the text message." . . .

. . ."“You know what it sounds like? It sounds like Peter Strzok … when he said ‘I just went into Walmart, I can smell the Trump supporters.’ It sounds like Joe Biden when he said all the ‘garbage’ I see is the Trump supporters out there,” Jordan said. “It sounds like the guy the Democrats had, the professor the Democrats had testify back in 2019 in the impeachment — conservatives, ‘especially very conservative people, tend to spread out,’ perhaps because they ‘don’t even want to be around themselves.'”

Does Biden want to force Trump into a grovel relationship with Putin

How can such a silly people cause so much damage to those they hate? TD

Deep State Invites Nuclear War 

. . ."In 2022 Biden’s hapless Secretary of Defense blurted out, “We want to see Russia weakened.” Now Democrats are putting Americans and our allies in harm’s way by provoking Russia to counterattack with missiles of its own, for a war that nearly everyone admits cannot be won." . . .

 Ukraine: The U.S. Embassy in Kyiv received specific information of a potential significant air attack on Nov 20. The Embassy will be closed and recommends U.S. citizens be prepared to immediately shelter in the event an air alert is announced. ow.ly/IbBT50UaBYV   Travel - State Dept


Ukraine Launches First Missile Attack Using New Authority From Biden, Putin Responds in Typical Putin Way   "Ukraine launched an attack on a Russian munitions depot overnight using an ATACMS tactical ballistic missile. According to reports in Forbes Ukraine and RBC Ukraine, citing unnamed sources, the attack on the Karachev logistics center in Bryansk Oblast marks the first use of ATACMS on Russian territory and took place only a day after Biden finally permitted US weapons to be used on strikes inside Russia (see Lame-Duck Biden Announces Major Ukraine Policy Shift Just Weeks Before Trump Takes Over). Karachev is over 80 miles inside Russia and was previously hit by Ukrainian drones." . . . 

Biden behind closed doors   "David Milstein observes on X that the Biden-Harris administration has “engaged in unprecedented pressure and undermined Israel’s important military operations at virtually every step of the way.” Here are excerpts of what Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said yesterday in the Knesset as reported in a characteristically hostile Times of Israel story, this one by Lazar Berman:

Speaking nearly two weeks after the US election, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu repeatedly criticized the Biden administration’s judgment and policies at major junctions in Israel’s ongoing war against Iran and its proxies.

“The US had reservations and suggested that we not enter Gaza,” said Netanyahu. “It had reservations about entering Gaza City, Khan Younis, and, most critically, strongly opposed entry into Rafah.”

* * * * *

“President Biden told me that if we go in, we will be alone,” Netanyahu said in the Knesset plenum. “He also said that he would stop shipments of important weapons to us. And so he did. A few days later, [US Secretary of State Antony] Blinken appeared and repeated the same things and I told him — we will fight with our nails.” . . .

. . ." Netanyahu also criticized US positions after Iran’s drone and missile attacks on Israel: “Again, we were told by our friend that there is no need to respond. And I said that sitting and not reacting is not acceptable, and we responded.”

"The prime minister said that the Israeli response last month took out air defense batteries and “inflicted real damage on Iran’s ballistic missile production capability,” as well as targeting its nuclear program." . . .

God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, please protect your people from the evil ones who hate Israel, and the evil ones who are little more than silly. TD

The Babylon Bee's Foray Into Bluesky Gets Started off on Hilariously Predictable Note UPDATED

Sister Toldjah

"But conservatives moved to those platforms because Twitter was censoring them, and they wanted free speech. These leftists are migrating to Bluesky because they're tired of all that free speech exposing them to ideas they don't like."

RedState


"It never fails. After leftists lose big either at the ballot box, on Twitter/X, or via a court ruling, among the first things some of them announce in rather dramatic fashion is that they are headed for what they assume are greener pastures at another social media platform.

"We've seen them venture off to Mastodon, Threads, and now the Next Big Thing: Bluesky, where media figures and woketivists alike have fled.

"As my colleague Brandon Morse has documented, however, their migration to Bluesky has not gone very well so far, with snowflake users there reportedly sending "over 42,000 reports for harmful content in 24 hours, coming out to 3,000 reports an hour." 

"Further, as Brandon observed, users are "so intent on making sure their little bubbles stay intact that they're mass-blocking people without warning, and oftentimes without double-checking who they're blocking first."

So while it should come as no surprise to anyone, it's nevertheless hilarious to see how The Babylon Bee's adventure to Bluesky has gone so far.

"The Bee's editor-in-chief, Kyle Mann, shared this screengrab on Twitter/X:"  . . .

UPDATE: Leftists Leave X For Bluesky Only To Overwhelm Site With Mass Censorship Demands    

"Bluesky was built on an "invite only" system up until February of this year.  The rush of woke actors, journalists and activists to the platform after the election has certainly garnered a lot of media attention for the site.  Progressive celebrities and pundits such as actress Jamie Lee Curtis, "journalist" Don Lemon, "journalist" Joy Reid, writer Stephen King and The Guardian’s official news account, have all decided to switch to Bluesky. 

"Don Lemon accused X of no longer serving the purposes of "transparency and honest debate", a hilarious notion when one considers the incredible level of censorship enacted under the old regime.  What leftists are actually angry about is the fact that conservatives are suddenly free to contradict progressive claims without fear of account bans, the doxing of their homes and workplaces, and cancel culture in general." . . .

Restoring Deterrence Will Prevent Endless Wars

 Victor Davis Hanson

 Trump will have to speak clearly and softly while carrying a club. And for the first few months of his administration, he will be tested as never before to make it clear to Iran and its terrorist surrogates, China, North Korea, and Russia, that aggression against U.S. interests will be swiftly and quietly met with disproportionate and overwhelming repercussions.

 . . ."Yet in a second Trump administration, rethreading the deterrence needle without getting into major wars may become far more challenging. The world of today is far more dangerous than when Trump left in 2021.

"An inept Biden administration has utterly destroyed U.S. deterrence abroad through both actual and symbolic disasters: the Chinese dressing down of U.S. diplomats in Anchorage; the humiliating skedaddle from Afghanistan; the brazen flight of a Chinese spy balloon across the U.S.; the invasion of Ukraine by Russia; the Oct. 7, 2023 massacre of 1,200 Israelis; the serial Houthi attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea; the visible restraint of Israel from fully replying to Iranian missile attacks on its homeland; and renewed bellicosity on the part of both North Korea and China toward American allies such as Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan.

"Of course, a second-term Trump must radically reform the Pentagon and beef up the military while warning enemies of the consequences to follow from any unwise aggression.

"But if opponents believe such admonitions remain only vocal threats, then empty verbiage surely will erode deterrence further—such as President Joe Biden’s serial and empty braggadocio, “Don’t!”

"Biden’s past theatrical finger-shaking translated into aggressors like Russian President Vladimir Putin going into Ukraine, Iran sending missiles into Israel, and the Houthis serially hitting shipping in the Red Sea.

"Given the past messes of the Iraqi, Libyan, and Syrian interventions, and the catastrophic Biden humiliation in Afghanistan, Trump in 2024 is much more emphatic about the need to avoid such overseas dead-end entanglements or even the gratuitous use of force that historically can sometimes lead to tit-for-tat entanglements." . . .

How High Does The FEMA Scandal Go?

I & I Editorial Board   

"We saw the same thing play out with the Russiagate scandal, where the public was repeatedly assured that the FBI had done everything by the book only to learn that there was a collaborative effort to use the law enforcement division to target President Donald Trump."

Image courtesy of Gary Branfman.

"Until the Daily Wire uncovered concrete evidence that the Federal Emergency Management Administration was telling relief workers to avoid Trump-supporting homes, the press was happy to take FEMA’s word and debunk accusations of political favoritism.

Now that the FEMA employee at the center of the current scandal is saying that she’s a scapegoat and that the problem is far deeper and wider, will the mainstream press ignore this too?

In the wake of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, FEMA came under attack for its seemingly sluggish response to devastation in heavily Republican areas of the Southeast.

Poppycock, responded the press, regurgitating talking points from the agency.

But then the Daily Wire got hold of messages from a FEMA supervisor telling workers to “avoid homes advertising Trump” in Lake Placid, Florida, when going door to door to find those who qualified for financial aid. It also had screenshots of reports from workers saying they were “not able to access property,” with a note “Trump sign, no contact, per leadership.”

FEMA issued a response and fired the supervisor, saying her actions were in violation of the agency’s “core values and principles to help people regardless of their political affiliation.”

And that is where the mainstream press is happy to let the story rest.

But the FEMA supervisor, Marn’i Washington, isn’t going gently into that good night. She says she’s being made the scapegoat.

“FEMA’s very well aware of the incidents that take place, not just with my crew, but with all the crews in the states,” Washington said on a podcast. “This is not isolated. This is a colossal event of avoidance.”

She said the agency lied when it claimed she’d acted on her own, and that her supervisor approved the message.

And the New York Post reported . . .

Ukraine Reportedly Carries Out First Strike Inside Russian Territory Using US-Made Long-Range Missiles — Russia Warns of Nuclear Retaliation

Ukraine Reportedly Carries Out First Strike Inside Russian Territory Using US-Made Long-Range Missiles — Russia Warns of Nuclear Retaliation    "The escalation of the war in Ukraine has reached peak level, as Ukraine is reported to have launched western missiles at a target inside Russia, a move that can lead to a potential nuclear retaliation by Moscow.

"The first Ukrainian strike targeted the border region of Bryansk in Russia, and it comes just as President Vladimir Putin updated the nuclear doctrine greatly expanding the conditions for using atomic weapons.

"Ukrainian forces fired six ATACMS missiles at a facility in the Russian Bryansk region, the Russian Defense Ministry said." . . .

Hence Biden's smile when greeting Mr. Trump?

Broc Smith

. . . "Earlier, Russia’s Defense Ministry said its forces had destroyed 12 Ukrainian drones over the Bryansk region early Tuesday.

"The attack came as Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a warning to the United States as he signed a law Tuesday allowing for a nuclear strike in retaliation for a long-range missile attack.

"The updated doctrine, which lowers the threshold for a nuclear strike, comes just days after the Biden administration reportedly granted Ukraine permission to use US-supplied weapons to strike deep into Russia’s Kursk region." . . .

Ukraine’s use of US long-range missiles has sparked fears of World War III.

. . ."Sources indicated that Kyiv planned to begin such strikes in the coming days.

"Russian lawmakers were quick to slam Washington’s policy reversal in the Ukraine-Russia conflict and accused Biden of recklessness.

“ 'This is a very big step towards the start of World War III,” said Vladimir Dzhabarov, first deputy head of the Russian upper house’s international affairs committee, according to Russia’s Tass news agency."

PA Supreme Court Unanimously Shuts Down Illegal Vote Counting in McCormick-Casey Race

 Debra Heine

 “ 'We just confirmed with our attorneys that the Bucks County Board of Elections will comply with todays PA Supreme Court Order will not count undated and misdated ballots and these votes will be removed from the County’s vote totals,” the Bucks County GOP posted on X."

 "The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Monday affirmed its previous ruling that counties may not count mail-in and absentee ballots that have missing or incorrect dates or signatures, and  intervened to immediately exclude misdated and undated ballots from the count. The ruling comes amid an ongoing automatic recount in the razor-close race between Republican Senator Elect David McCormick and Democrat incumbent Senator Bob Casey.

“ 'It was a 7-0 decision not to count the votes that Casey and his D allies tried to slip through,” noted former Bush White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer on X. “This is a sad way for Senator Casey to end his career. He should have spoken out against this. So too should Governor Shapiro.”

" 'Several Democrat-controlled elections boards had defied the previous ruling, counting hundreds of such ballots in recent days. Philadelphia, Montgomery and Bucks counties voted last week to count the illegal ballots.

"During a meeting last Thursday, Bucks County commissioner Diane Ellis-Marseglia (D) argued that “precedent by a court doesn’t matter anymore in this country. And people violate laws anytime they want. For me if I violate this law, it’s because I want a court to pay attention to it.”

"McCormick and the RNC filed an emergency petition with the state Supreme Court last week to stop the counties from counting the illegal ballots.

"Justice David Wecht rebuked the Dem-led election boards, stating in the terse opinion that “it is critical to the rule of law that individual counties and municipalities and their elected and appointed officials, like any other parties, obey orders of this Court.' ” . . .

Illegal vote-counting continues in Pennsylvania, and even the Democrat governor calls out the cheating   . . . "When will the media and other Democrats come out and tell sanctuary cities and states that they must follow all federal immigration laws? The answer is never, because they pick and choose which laws they want to follow.

"Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Merrick Garland, and the entire Biden administration never thought immigration laws that Congress passed applied to them. They openly violated their oaths of office, and most of the media cheered.

"Democrat governors are bragging about how they will not cooperate with the federal government to enforce immigration laws with Trump’s looming second presidency, and I haven't heard the media or other Democrats lecture them about following laws. It is a shame they care so little about citizens.

"Biden also never cared about the Constitution or the Supreme Court when he dictatorially used taxpayer funds to pay off student loans. He bragged about defying the courts." . . .
