No WONDER Union Workers Backed Trump!  Kamala Harris Campaign Fed Union Supporters LITERAL Prison Food

 

One of the most remarkable and despicable things from Kamala Harris' time as a prosecutor in California was her use of inmates -- many of them kept beyond their sentences -- for cheap labor.  Tulsi Gabbard absolutely wrecked her over the issue in the 2020 Democratic primary, and rightly so.  What an absolute abuse of her prosecutorial power.

But Kamala's values haven't changed.  In fact, she's still using prisoners for inexpensive labor.  This time for her failed presidential campaign.

This comes from local Wisconsin radio:  [...]

'Can You Send Security Up?  I Have a Boy Who Has a Trump Hat On' California Teacher Loses It on a Student

 

[...] Mainstream media has infused the idea that we're on the edge of the fascistic rise of Hitler 2.0.  And many people of sub-average intelligence have bought into it, hook, line and sinker.  Forget the fact that Orange Hitler had four years to implement the End of Democracy™ and didn't.  But as Bullwinkle said to Rocky, "this time for sure!"

 

Which brings us to a teacher in Southern California who loses it on a student wearing a MAGA cap.  Thanks to school choice evangelist, Corey DeAngelis and a student who recorded this exchange:  [...]

White Harris Supporter Facing Potential Hate Crime Charge After Punching Minority Trump Supporter

 

This happened the day before the election in Edmonds, Washington, which is just north of Seattle.  A small group of Trump supporters were holding a rally on the sidewalk, waving flags and trying to get the attention of passing motorists.  While this was happening, an older woman wearing a Kamala Harris pin approached the group and started questioning one of the women waving a Trump flag.  This is from a press release put out by Edmonds police.  [...]

It Has Begun:  JD Vance Sneaks Into Woman's House To Check If She's On Her Period

 

DETROIT, MI — America's worst fears were realized this morning as Vice President-elect JD Vance broke into a woman's home so he could check if she was on her period.

"This was clearly spelled out in Trump's Project 2025, and now it has begun," said congresswoman AOC.  "This administration will not stop until they have tracked every period in the country.  This is terrifying."

 

AOC then broke down sobbing, as she was on her period.  [...]

Agents of Influence:  The Pitiful Presidential Pollsters

 

Every four years, presidential opinion polling reliably causes regime media to misplace their poop.  But after the actual polling places close and report, the stenographer journalists generally don't expose which—if any—of these influential prognosticators should be publicly grilled for fouling up.

A current exception proves the rule.  [...]

That's one possibility.  A lot of attitudes and strategies are going to have to change after this one.

Election Irregularities Prompt GOP Senate Candidate to Consider Contesting Results

 

On election night, GOP Senate candidate Eric Hovde of Wisconsin led the vote count well into the middle of the night, then Sen. Tammy Baldwin benefited from a ballot dump at 4 a.m., where she received nearly an unprecedented share of the vote.

Hovde, who has been silent about the election results since last week, posted a video to X, revealing that he's been informed of precincts in Milwaukee that reported impossible turnout rates, and now he's considering his options about what to do about it.  [...]

This happened in MI with the Slotkin/Rogers race as well. There has been a lot of cheating going on. There is no one who will ever convince me that Kamala Harris received over 72 million votes and that Trump barely got more than 4 years ago. They need to look at every state very closely!

Insult To Injury:  African Kids Receive Overstock Harris-Walz Hats To Wear With Their Yankees World Championship Shirts

 

AFRICA — A perky, bright-eyed group of African kids was recently disappointed to receive a bunch of overstock "Harris-Walz" hats along with their shipment of New York Yankees World Championship shirts from America.

According to several kids from the group, the American attempt at charity came off as a tacky, rude gesture.  [...]

Hard Times Ahead For The Dispatch, The Bulwark And The Rest Of The Liz Cheney Grifters

 

Amid the celebration and relief at Donald Trump's landslide victory last week on the right, there was a small yet shrill cadre of unreconstructed Never Trumpers, who, having convinced themselves that Kamala Harris would win, positively lost their minds.

I should clarify that [...]

George Soros' death grip on the Democratic Party loosened on Nov. 5

 

The hard-left billionaire George Soros and his heir apparent son Alex have championed, with donations, defunding the police movement, open borders and soft prosecutors.

But then came Nov. 5.  Then former President Donald Trump beat Mr. Soros.  And, in California, where the hedge fund operator has poured so much cash, liberal voters turned anti-Soros, saying with their ballots they want a war on criminals.

 

They ousted one of Mr. Soros' favorite and well-funded prosecutors, Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon ($3 million Soros dollars).  Up north, Oakland-area voters kicked out the soft-on-crime prosecutor Pamela Price and city mayor Sheng Thao.  [...]

Why the attempt to deplatform Trump failed so utterly

 

The 2024 election has conclusively proven something that we really should have known since 2016:  America's gatekeepers have failed.

The premise of "gatekeeping," as a political enterprise, is that there is a mainstream consensus that can be enforced by institutions designed to protect it.  It works not by outright violent repression, but by deplatforming and shunning certain ideas, people, movements, and the like.

Gatekeeping, when successful, involves a collective of recognized authority figures declaring that something is out of bounds — and then that thing actually getting consigned to the fringes.  No politician will engage with it, no talk show hosts will give it a respectful hearing, and only a tiny number of citizens will have heard of it.  [...]
