Original Mike said...: Not all of Madison. Certainly not at our house.; 11/6/24, 4:08 PM
hawkeyedjb said...: It looks... peaceful, calm. Let's try that for a while.; 11/6/24, 4:09 PM
traditionalguy said...: Let me recommend the day’s Ann Coulter column. It’s on Substack and probably other places.; 11/6/24, 4:10 PM
Whiskeybum said...: Now that all the excitement is over, we can get back to normal daily activities.

Today I put up my driveway snow markers while the ground was still soft, in anticipation of the eventual temperature drop. Based on the current forecast, I may be a bit on the early side, but will be in SA for two weeks, and I don't know what the weather will be like when I get back.; 11/6/24, 4:14 PM
Whiskeybum said...: But back to politics for a moment...

What are your opinions on who Trump should select for the various cabinet positions?; 11/6/24, 4:17 PM
Dixcus said...: That's a funny take since the war starts on January 21, 2025. We are not at the END of something. We are at the VERY BEGINNING of it.; 11/6/24, 4:17 PM
Dixcus said...: Pol Pot for Attorney General.; 11/6/24, 4:17 PM
mccullough said...: The low blanket of November clouds; 11/6/24, 4:18 PM
Peachy said...: Wisconsin - YAY!; 11/6/24, 4:18 PM
Dixcus said...: I'd recommend J. Edgar Hoover for FBI Director but there's already too many men in Washington DC wearing (and stealing) women's clothing.; 11/6/24, 4:18 PM
Dixcus said...: "To the young people watching... please know it will be ok. This doesn't mean we won't win." Kamala Harris, who obviously doesn't know what losing is.

Now, here are some Legos and coloring books. Don't forget to drink your milk with your cookies.; 11/6/24, 4:21 PM
rehajm said...: We're still savoring- are the montages up on YouTube yet? I don't wanna have to try and watch the Bruins...; 11/6/24, 4:25 PM
BG said...: I thought the political texts were done. WRONG. I received this one today from unknown Illinois number: "I'm begging. Sign the petition to pass Chuck Schumer's " No Kings Act" and strip Trump of his immunity." Then it gave a URL I refused to click.; 11/6/24, 4:27 PM
Original Mike said...: Pollsters. Didn't they predict the national vote was tied?; 11/6/24, 4:41 PM
Dixcus said...: Ann ... I'm down on one knee.

Will you marry me?; 11/6/24, 4:43 PM
Dixcus said...: J. Ann Selzer, president of Selzer & Co. was hired to produce a late poll by the Des Moines Register in order to fake out Republicans and get them to spend resources in Iowa buying advertising in the Des Moines Register in response to the poll. This is the sort of election shenanigans that scumbags in the media do to rip off money from people.

The poll predicted a Harris victory in Iowa 47-44.

Trump won every county in Iowa except 4 and took the state 56-42.

16 percentage points different than what J. Ann Selzer misled Iowa Democrats would happen.

The Des Moines Register did this to try to make money. They distributed ELECTION DISINFORMATION for PROFIT.

Trump should NATIONALIZE that company and fire every employee.; 11/6/24, 4:50 PM
Dixcus said...: Not only that ... J. Ann Selzer is completely allowed legally to PROFIT by BETTING in the Polymarket who would win the Presidential election. She artificially moved the odds in the Polymarket by claiming that Harris would beat Trump and then .... likely (my opinion) made a FORTUNE betting against that outcome.

Those are the shenanigans that pollsters are engaging in today.; 11/6/24, 4:54 PM
Dave Begley said...: Brilliant. He was great in that Oxford debate. How does he know America so well? He lives in the UK.; 11/6/24, 4:56 PM
pacwest said...: I don't know who he has in mind for EdSec, but this is critical if you want to make MAGA. I also think that Trump and Musk are going to clash early and often.; 11/6/24, 5:00 PM
HistoryDoc said...: Prediction that within a year, Kamala and Dougie will announce an amicable split (or conscious uncoupling).; 11/6/24, 5:01 PM
Peachy said...: A-men! (posted this link in another thread) thanks for printing it out. :-); 11/6/24, 5:05 PM
Peachy said...: If the left want to crawl out of the insane pit they dug for themselves... - they need to ditch The View and D-MSNBC.
Prediction? They won't; 11/6/24, 5:06 PM
Dixcus said...: Knowing what she knows now ... that he is a WOMAN BEATER ... which she may not have known before, but she cannot deny NOW KNOWING ... how come she hasn't #METoo'd this guy yet?

Unless she supports bitch-slapping and pimp-handing.; 11/6/24, 5:06 PM
Original Mike said...: Will this be the election where intelligent observers will finally recognize that the polls aren't worth the electrons that transmit them?

Magic 8-ball: Outlook not so good; 11/6/24, 5:07 PM
Dixcus said...: MSNBC exists to keep news stories about Bill Gates' pedophilia (which his wife divorced him for) from airing on NBC News.; 11/6/24, 5:08 PM
Dixcus said...: She made a FORTUNE on Polymarket betting against her own poll. Think about the money to be made.; 11/6/24, 5:09 PM
tcrosse said...: Early on election night pollster Frank Luntz predicted that the election was so close that it might take days and days to sort it out. Frankly, at the time it seemed to make sense.; 11/6/24, 5:10 PM
Iman said...: Harris did make one promise during the campaign that did come true when she said in a preachy, histrionic way:

“Joy will cometh in the morning!” I’ll be goddamned if it didn’t.; 11/6/24, 5:12 PM
Dixcus said...: Remember ... Donald Trump has a mandate. Democrats said he would END DEMOCRACY ... and then Americans elected him.

He should END DEMOCRACY. That's why we voted him in. There should be no FURTHER elections.; 11/6/24, 5:13 PM
Leland said...: You can see the silver lining. It is there, and we will all get to enjoy it!; 11/6/24, 5:13 PM
Dixcus said...: Pretty sure this is copy-pasta from Reddit.; 11/6/24, 5:14 PM
Dixcus said...: Did he say which candidate he had his money on? Because if they're not revealing which candidate they are BETTING THEIR MONEY ON ... and PROFITING from those bets ... then how can we assess whether the accuracy of their polls is real or designed?; 11/6/24, 5:16 PM
Leland said...: Temps still in the 80's in SE Texas. May yet have a last minute Hurricane before next week is through. BTW, if you think a Trump victory will bring lower gas prices, just know that meandering storm is right over the major US oil production in the Gulf of Mexico and Biden sold our strategic oil reserves to pay for his election loss. Anyway, I agree with going back to our normal activities. Hell, maybe they'll quite running political messages during football games and on the field too. Make Athletes Great Again!; 11/6/24, 5:16 PM
Leland said...: He'd have to try hard to do worse than his last cabinet. Alas, I think he has much better guidance. The biggest choice will be Attorney General. I'd hate to lose him, but maybe Ken Paxton for that role.; 11/6/24, 5:19 PM
Peachy said...: The last minute Iowa fake poll smelled bad from first whiff. The only money the left wasted was their own. Bonus - the fake-out boomeranged not on Trump, but on the hivemind.; 11/6/24, 5:20 PM
Peachy said...: Trump won Iowa by 14 points. Inga - 14 points!; 11/6/24, 5:22 PM
Peachy said...: Epstein's list. Gotta see it!; 11/6/24, 5:22 PM
Leland said...: Dixcus, you need to get out a bit more. Between Trump, Vance, and Musk; Rogan found time to interview Konstantin Kisin and his pal Francis Foster about the election. They are the host of the British podcast, Triggernometry (forever grateful to poster Kate for pointing them out over a year ago). I'm very confident that Konstantin wrote that himself. I recommend his book, "An Immigrant's Love Letter to the West".; 11/6/24, 5:25 PM
Dixcus said...: Think about this: Democrats said that Donald Trump was a threat to Democracy, would use the Federal Government to go after his political enemies, would end elections, would literally hunt down Democrats ... and then what happened?

We elected him to do just that.

Donald Trump OWES the American people their victory. He should start doing what they claimed he would do and what we believed them when they said he would do it and God Damn get to doing it, bro.; 11/6/24, 5:25 PM
Dixcus said...: I didn't see the credit to Kisin, Leland. You are correct. And I withdraw my previous comments except my marriage proposal to Anne in Texas.

I love her with all my heart.; 11/6/24, 5:27 PM
Iman said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 11/6/24, 5:28 PM
Dixcus said...: I'm recommending Pol Pot for Attorney General. Look, Donald Trump - according to MSNBC - ran on a platform of ending elections, using the federal government to kill his political enemies, and becoming Actually Hitler in the United States.

So we then elected him to do precisely that.

Get busy, Donald. I want to see Hillary Clinton's obit on January 20, 2024.; 11/6/24, 5:36 PM
Original Mike said...: @WholeMarsBlog
Elon is such a dumbass. He spent $44 billion on Twitter and all he got was control of all 3 branches of the federal government.; 11/6/24, 5:39 PM

Aggie said...: *Puts on thick glasses, peers with necktie and hair askew* 'But I was reliably informed that this was not a psyop !'; 11/6/24, 5:43 PM
Leland said...: Poll: What do you think drove up the stock market today?
1) Soros like billionaires buying up the market so it will be artificially high when Trump takes office.
2) The market celebrating a Trump victory.; 11/6/24, 5:47 PM
Dixcus said...: I would just like to remind Democrats that Nancy Pelosi's house is right on the street in San Francisco. You can Google her address.

She's the one who did the coup that took Biden out. You remember Joe Biden. He got 81 MILLION VOTES, LOL when he was elected and then she took him out and somehow, 15 MILLION Democrats disappeared.

Also, there's a sale on hammers at Home Depot.; 11/6/24, 5:47 PM
The Real Andrew said...: This music came to my mind today, and it seemed appropriate.

https://youtu.be/HKgk6G0lekQ; 11/6/24, 5:47 PM
Big Mike said...: 7. Americans are the most philosemitic nation on earth.

This is actually deeply embedded in our national character going back to the earliest days of our country. People should read George Washington's letter to the "Hebrew Congregation in Newport, Rhode Island". This is not a country that tolerates antisemitism, and should never allow itself become one.

(But I assume that Kisin means "after Israel" we are the most philosemitic nation.); 11/6/24, 5:50 PM
Big Mike said...: For grins and giggles I tried to watch some of the lefty extremists who are talking heads on TV. And the grin left my face and the giggles stopped. These people actually believe their own bullshit!!! It's nuts. January 6th was not an "armed insurrection." I will always hold it against Trump that he couldn't smell a setup by Nancy Pelosi from the stench she and her minions and Chris Wray left all over it, but you have to have swallowed a lot of BS and asked for seconds to call it an "armed insurrection."

My viewing of Jen Psaki's teary call of Wisconsin, and hence the election, for Trump came via Megyn Kelly's show. And the thought crossed my mind that back in 2016 Megyn Kelly was among the first outright enemies that Donald Trump made following his "blood coming out of her wherever" comment, and now today she's one of his strongest supporters. And I think about the remarks JD Vance made about Trump back in 2016, yet today Vance is one of the most articulate supporters of Trump's policies, not to mention the Vice President-elect.

How does he do that? Amazing. However he does it, it creates hope that maybe we really shall see a lot of this country coming together in the next year. (Though, no, not all of the Democrats, or even most of them, will accept an extended olive branch.); 11/6/24, 5:54 PM
Original Mike said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 11/6/24, 5:57 PM
rehajm said...: Yah, we’re watching some of it too. Part of the problem is there are too many pundits on television that should be at home whining on their couch or at the bar at noon instead of in front of an audience of more than the bartender or dog on the floor…; 11/6/24, 6:01 PM
R C Belaire said...: Any bets on when Slow Joe will "abdicate" and give Harris a few months to run the country as the first female president? Could happen...; 11/6/24, 6:01 PM
NorthOfTheOneOhOne said...: Video of him reading the above, if anyone interested.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlFTLhei7J8; 11/6/24, 6:01 PM
Dixcus said...: He does that by not following the "narrative" that most people in public life are following. Donald Trump creates his own narrative every day of his life. Those people are living OTHER PEOPLE'S NARRATIVES ... for many reasons. And some escape having to do that.

Did you ever have a boss who was a compete ahole, but you just had to humor him and present yourself in a certain way to get ahead or get beyond that person? Everybody else has that too.

If you pay me $10 million dollars, I will speak very eloquently about how Donald Trump is the worst human being on the planet. But the moment you STOP PAYING ME to do that, I might speak my own mind.

The people on MSNBC don't believe their own bullshit.

They're just taking the $10 million dollars because that's LIFE-CHANGING-MONEY. That's money you can set up your entire family for several GENERATIONS.

Of course I want that money.; 11/6/24, 6:02 PM
Dixcus said...: Any bets on when Pelosi will murder him?; 11/6/24, 6:03 PM

Original Mike said...: "For grins and giggles I tried to watch some of the lefty extremists who are talking heads on TV. And the grin left my face and the giggles stopped. These people actually believe their own bullshit!!! It's nuts."

I had a similar experience. I flipped over to MSNBC several times for the schadenfreude but could not watch for very long. They are nuts.

I did catch one woman I now know to be Joy Reid blaming Kamala's loss on white women. Charming.; 11/6/24, 6:06 PM
paminwi said...: Fabulous & thought provoking.; 11/6/24, 6:06 PM
heyboom said...: I'm reminded of the Obi Wan Kenobi line, "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could ever imagine." By stealing his second term, they now have to deal with Trump having a much more powerful mandate and all branches of government. It's as if he is a first term president with a ton of political capital.; 11/6/24, 6:07 PM
Dixcus said...: Watch Barack Obama create two American Presidents in one unsuccessful 5-minute attempt to humiliate an unwitting victim forced to take his barbs without having the ability to fight back.

https://youtu.be/HHckZCxdRkA?si=JUcEFPn1jGFa2Ncv; 11/6/24, 6:10 PM
Eva Marie said...: There’s a house in my neighborhood with huge Trump signs and flying an American flag. This morning when I drove by I was kind of sad to see all the Trump signs gone. But this afternoon they added a yellow flag with a big smiley face to their flag pole. Perfect.; 11/6/24, 6:10 PM
Jim at said...: Though, no, not all of the Democrats, or even most of them, will accept an extended olive branch.

I have no intention of extending an olive branch to the left. Not after the shit they've pulled for the last eight years.

They made this shit stew. It's time for them to eat it.; 11/6/24, 6:12 PM
Original Mike said...: Disenbolden!; 11/6/24, 6:13 PM
paminwi said...: Megyn has taken his side because she’s hopeful that Trump will reinstate Title 9. She’s against men in girls spaces and on girls sports teams. She knows that Kamala will take that policy, keep it the way it is and move it e en further left.; 11/6/24, 6:13 PM
Original Mike said...: Try again.; 11/6/24, 6:14 PM
Dixcus said...: That's smart. They don't want the unhinged Karen aholes who are always, always Democrats, burning their house down.; 11/6/24, 6:15 PM
Eric the Fruit Bat said...: Not to be confused with the low spark of high heeled boys.; 11/6/24, 6:15 PM
Big Mike said...: @R C Belaire, thought #1: I agree that it could happen. Sort of like when a basketball coach is losing in a March Madness game so he sends in some of his younger kids to give them some experience to help them for next year. It would make Trump the 48th President, not the 47th.

Thought #2: People would look at her in action and tell themselves that by the Grace of God we dodged one Hell of a bullet.; 11/6/24, 6:17 PM
Dixcus said...: Best election take over at Ace of Spades:

"Kamala lost so bad, FEMA just sent her a check for $750."; 11/6/24, 6:20 PM

Dixcus said...: I wonder if she will? Maybe she'll set up a new J6 and we can put the Democrats into concentration camps.; 11/6/24, 6:31 PM
Dixcus said...: I'm looking over international flight bookings and I'm confused. There seems to be a LOT of available seats on almost every airline that I'm looking at. They're even putting seats on sale.

Do Democrats not know what is coming? I mean, their leaders have been telling them for almost 3 years what is coming. Do they not believe it?

HITLER IS COMING.

Democrats throughout America should be FLEEING as if their VERY LIVES depend on it. If you know someone who is a Democrat .. then PLEASE, PLEASE ALERT them.

There are seats available the fk OUT OF HERE. GET ON THEM.

GET OUT while you still can.; 11/6/24, 6:38 PM
Jersey Fled said...: My oh so liberal neighbor still has her Harris/Walz sign out. I think she’s trying to shame us for voting for Trump.

It isn’t working.; 11/6/24, 6:39 PM
Christopher B said...: That Selzer poll was probably to juice turnout with the goal of defeating M M-M in IA-1. Almost worked but M M-M is up 900 votes now from around 500 early this am.; 11/6/24, 6:42 PM
Dixcus said...: You should go over to her house and in hushed tones explain to her that Literally Hitler has been elected and that you want to help her escape. She may resist. But if you persist, you can help her understand that LITERALLY HITLER is coming and she needs to get OUT OF THE COUNTRY. Then take her in the trunk of your car to the airport and pay for a plane ticket to South Korea for her. She can walk across the border to North Korea for protection.

Then sell her $550,000 house and keep the money, bro.

You just won.; 11/6/24, 6:43 PM
Leland said...: I’d just like the hostess to know Joe Rogan released his interview with Tom Dillon. In the unlikely chance she may have missed it.; 11/6/24, 6:47 PM

Rabel said...: Where's Joe?; 11/6/24, 6:48 PM
Original Mike said...: If the past is any indication the Harris signs in our neighborhood will be up for a very long time. It's some kind of statement of defiance. I don't think they realize it gives us a warm feeling every time we see them.; 11/6/24, 6:54 PM

tim maguire said...: I’d love a cabinet secretary who already has another job lined up a few weeks later—just long enough to shut it down. I don’t know who to fold it into, but it should be two people issuing block grants to individual schools to guarantee minimum budgets. And that’s it.; 11/6/24, 6:57 PM
Rabel said...: Myself, I'm feeling exceptionally mellow right now. A sense of calm satisfaction. A great tragedy has been avoided. The nation our forefathers gave us is saved.

I'll fight another day. This is a time for peace and joy.

Thank you, Donald Trump. Thank you very much.; 11/6/24, 7:01 PM
boatbuilder said...: At the Al Smith Dinner, Trump declared his love for the city he was raised in, and pledged to make it great again,with the help of the people in the room (most of whom were his sworn political enemies). He did this despite the evil BS that they have thrown at him, and despite the fact that he didn't stand a chance of winning the State of NY in the election. That's who he is. I do not think that there was a person in that room who doubted his commitment.
And you can be sure that they will be reminding him of it in the coming months and years.; 11/6/24, 7:01 PM
Original Mike said...: Sign I would like to put in the front yard. But I'm too nice.; 11/6/24, 7:02 PM

He doesn’t need to persecute random Democrats. He does need to ensure that his DOJ investigates Fani Willis, Nathan Wade, Alvin Bragg, Letitia James, Jack Smith, and Merrick Garland."

wendybar said...: When the media is this blind, then maybe it's time to destroy them. They did this to themselves, whilst the rest of the world is laughing at the fools they have become, thinking THEY are the "smart" ones in the room. GFY Lying Brian Williams. Crawl back under the rock from which you slithered....
I, for one, do not want to unite with these snakes, who would stab us in the back the minute we turned our head.

"Williams continued, “I've always said something culturally which is simplistic, flip, and half-comical, but half-serious, and that is constitutionally, culturally, Democrats tend to be former student council presidents, earnest recycling enthusiasts, Republicans in the modern era in politics have been stone cold killers and that's just it, and I think that'll be interesting to see who the killer Dems are because this is the era of hardball.”"

"WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a stirring concession speech following last night's election loss, Kamala Harris announced she would work to ensure a peaceful transition of power to the man she called Adolf Hitler for the last year."

wendybar said...: THIS needs looking into.....IMMEDIATELY. Innocent people are in the DC gulag to this day because of Pelosi's lies.

"The coverup of January 6 is consistent with Pelosi’s own assessment that she gave by the end of the day on January 6. She was herself responsible for the lack of security, as she explained that day to an HBO news crew: “We have totally failed. We have to take some responsibility for not holding the security accountable for what could have happened.” She further confirmed this by exclaiming, “Oh my god, I cannot believe the stupidity of this. And I take the full responsibility.” Full responsibility would require a balanced and comprehensive congressional investigation of January 6."

gadfly said...: Attorney Ken White, the infamous Popehat, had much to say about the election. But I will restrict my comment to his summary, ending my further participation with the reprobates frequenting this blog.

"Trump won . . . , as I feared he would. I firmly believe America — and likely the world — will get significantly worse for at least a generation, probably more. I’ll spare you, . . . the why. Frankly, you either already accept it or will never accept it. The things I care about, like the rule of law and equality before it, freedom of . . . speech, free trade in service of free people, relative prosperity, protection of the weak from the strong, truth, and human dignity are all going to suffer. Bullies and their sycophants and apologists will thrive."; 11/7/24, 5:51 AM

Leland said...: Trump won’t be able to fire Jack Smith. Smith works at the pleasure of the Attorney General, who was just given his notice of severance by the American people. That wouldn’t be the situation if Smith’s role as Special Prosecutor was approved by Congress.

I notice he has a whole section in his polemic called 'F*ck Civility'. OK, then. I think people that have been so thoroughly trounced should reconsider the beliefs that brought them there, but if he's good with violence, I hope he's remembering that 'Incivility' has its risks, particularly now, when appetites for Public Obnoxiousness are tempered by memories of the First Term. I wouldn't advise a 'F*ck Civility' approach will prove a winning strategy.; 11/7/24, 8:05 AM

wendybar said...: A lot of praise needs to go to Scott Presler. Scott Presler made a name for himself, when he organized volunteers to clean up the garbage that the left piled up in West Baltimore. He moved on to other Progressive cities and cleaned them up. Then he started registering people to vote Republican. He won Pennsylvania for the Republicans. He even rallied the Amish who the Progressive left were violating with unnecessary raids on their homes. The Amish came out in force.
