. . ."And then there's this. Too much violence, too much looting, and mayhem in our major cities; too many illegal immigrants crossing the border; too much working-poor tax dollars going to feed, shelter, educate, and deliver health care, not to American citizens but to the wretched of the earth, some of whom are criminals, (drug lords, human traffickers), or jihadists." . . .
"Thank God! The more gracious of the two candidates has won.
"Presidential character was deemed a very important test of one's suitability for office.
"President Trump was defamed 24/7--none of his real and/or imaginary foibles or character failings were overlooked. Harris was praised 24/7 and none of her foibles ever made it into the mainstream media.
"And now, the American voter has spoken. President Trump has won a "landslide" victory.
"All Ye who despair; all those who are in shock, who are wearing black today, and are vowing to either leave the country or pick up guns and fight: Prithee pause for a moment.
"Please note how gracious President Trump was in his victory speech, how much he characterized his victory as "ours," as something that "we" accomplished. And then, please note that Vice President Harris was a disgraceful no-show at Howard University; she did not even come out to thank all her supporters who had been waiting for her. She plans to issue her concession speech today, either at 4pm or at 6pm, about 13-15 hours after the election was called.
"How can we explain Harris's silence? Was she too "emotional" to speak, too angry, too ashamed that she'd been beaten, or was she simply unable to speak extemporaneously? Was she still relying on her speechwriters and a teleprompter? With all due respect, imagine how Harris as POTUS might have handled the Iranian mullahs and their allies Putin, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong Un, Erdogan, the Qatari Arabs, ISIS reconstituted, and the Pakistani and Afghani Taliban?
"Oh, not to worry. Obama would have been advising, if not controlling, the deep state.
"Really, what just happened? It's obvious.
"Democratic Party leftists have just taken it a league too far. The pendulum was bound to swing back. Our well-intentioned 1960s campaigns to divide people into oppressor and victim; the marxist and feminist belief that everything was socially created and therefore could be uncreated ("by any means necessary"); that anatomy is not destiny, in fact, that biology is not real; that racism and sexism are exclusively white America's gravest sins--no redemption possible; that Israel, our strongest and most endangered ally in the Middle East, was no longer a victim, but had morphed into a "Nazi apartheid" nation state which was allegedly perpetrating a "genocide" in Gaza; and that transboys and transwomen had an almost sacred right to defeat girls and women in sports, share locker rooms and women-only prisons, as well as the right to government funded transition care." . . .

Bye bye, Barack "Maybe former President Obama got the message when he spoke to African Americans in Philadelphia. The thrill is gone. The racialist policies just don't work anymore. People are tired of hearing sermons from former presidents with mansions and First Ladies who sent their kids to expensive private schools.
"We saw on Election Day the end of Obama as a candidate. His "emerging majority" did not emerge, as David Weigel pointed out:" . . . Full article here
. . ."To be fair, maybe no one could have saved the Democrats from the failure of the Biden presidency. Maybe it was too much to expect that a former president would save a candidate trying to defend a candidate who couldn't answer a complex situation.
"Nevertheless, the Democrats need to look for new faces and different speakers at their next convention. The Obama coalition based on identity politics, green energy and taxing the rich is history. I have a feeling that Governor Josh Shapiro is not going to ask the Obamas or Clintons to speak on his behalf the next time around."
