Dejected Democrats Have Had Enough of MSNBC
Posted By: Dreadnought, 11/13/2024 12:07:14 AM
MSNBC had a pretty good night last Tuesday, beating CNN in the election night ratings for the first time. But since then, the network's ratings have dropped off a cliff. As one dejected viewer explained, she just can't take any more MSNBC claptrap without some explanation of why they got this so wrong. If you’re like me, you haven’t turned on the news since last Tuesday when Donald Trump won the election. Personally, I can’t bear to listen to another minute of wisdom from Joy Reid, my friend Lawrence O’Donnell or the admirable Rachel Maddow. I can’t hear Anderson Cooper, or Abby Phillip. Can’t abide getting the lowdown

In our 50/50 country, a stunning 64 percent of Americans approve of Donald Trump’s plan for mass deportations of illegal aliens. Only 33 percent disapprove.
Rasmussen, who was once again one of the most accurate pollsters of the presidential election, polled 1,276 likely U.S voters over three days after the election was called for former President and now President-elect Trump.
When asked how important it is to stop illegal immigration, 76 percent of those surveyed said “very” (50 percent) or “somewhat” (26 percent) important. Only 22 percent said it was not important.
The internals are amazing….
Theodore Olson, a conservative American lawyer who helped Republican George W. Bush secure the presidency in the legal battle over the 2000 U.S. election and went on to argue successfully on behalf of same-sex marriage, died on Wednesday at age 84, his law firm said.
A constitutional lawyer who served as U.S. solicitor general under Bush and in the U.S. Justice Department under President Ronald Reagan, Olson argued 65 cases at the U.S. Supreme Court, his firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher said. The firm did not give a cause of death.
You can't point to just one reason Trump won such a decisive victory last Tuesday, but you can identify a few factors together that guaranteed that Trump would win the popular vote.
Among those, the rightward shift of urban voters who form the base of the Democratic Party is at the top of the list. Trump saw gains nearly everywhere, but urban areas stand out because, without massive turnout in the big cities, Democrats can kiss their electoral prospects goodbye. Big cities are where the elite tend to congregate, and the Democrat coalition has recently been characterized by an odd alliance between wealthy, overeducated and irrationally leftist
As I was reading a column from my colleague-once-removed Guy Benson, I thought again about how right I was to praise Donald Trump's selection of J.D. Vance immediately.
You surely recall the moaning and whining coming from the Republican bedwetters after the pick. Democrats immediately attacked Vance, and as a consequence, the Senator's favorability ratings dropped like a stone into a deep lake.
Democrats chose to attack Vance as a "weird" guy who had sex with a couch because, well, it is perfectly normal for the candidates of a major political party to run on these bizarre, made-up claims. The Democrats went all-in on attacking Vance,
New York — Elon Musk, the world’s wealthiest person and close ally of President-elect Donald Trump, met with Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations on Monday, the New York Times reported, citing two Iranian officials.
The meeting between Musk and Iran’s envoy Amir Saeid Iravani was held at a secret location in New York and lasted more than an hour, the NYT reported, citing the Iranian officials, who reportedly described the discussion as focused on how to defuse tensions between the two countries.
CNN is reaching out to Musk and Trump’s transition team for comment. Iran’s mission to the UN declined to comment.
Local news outlets in Colorado Springs received a shocking email in late April of last year: A photo and video of a burning cross and a campaign sign of mayoral candidate Yemi Mobolade, a native of Nigeria, defaced with the N-word in red spray paint.
“What has this city come to?!” read the email, signed only by “Citizens of Colorado Springs.” This, according to the email, was “another one of their tactics to keep Yemi out.”
The writer then opined on who was likely behind the racist message: supporters of Mobolade’s opponent, center-right Republican Wayne Williams. “Candidate Wayne Williams is pushing hard to win this candidacy
JACKSON, Miss. — For out-of-state developers hoping to bring a win to Mississippi’s capital, their pitch was flat.
The city had long been searching for someone to develop part of downtown Jackson, and when two men showed up expressing their interest in late February, City Council member Virgi Lindsay agreed to meet with them at an upscale steakhouse in a nearby suburb.
But they had “no vision,” Lindsay said in an interview, and they were short on details. She could not recall whether they even offered a business card.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was fact-checked on Wednesday by The Washington Post for claiming that fewer migrants came into the U.S. under President Biden than under President-elect Trump's first term.
"I don’t think we were clear enough by saying fewer people came in under President Joe Biden than came under Donald Trump," Pelosi told The New York Times during a recent interview. "It’s clarity of the message, and if that’s what [Sen.] Bernie’s [Sanders] talking about, and that’s what [Sen.] Joe Manchin’s talking about, we weren’t clear in our message as to what things are, then I agree with that."
Has anyone informed Joe Biden that he's leaving the White House in January?
Plenty of outgoing presidents have indeed taken a few last shots, sometimes literally on their way out the door; that seems to be a favored time for signing pardons, for instance. But in one such move that's something of a head-scratcher, Joe Biden is imposing a new tax on the oil and gas industry - this one on methane emissions.
President Biden's Environmental Protection Agency finalized a new rule Tuesday, taxing methane emissions from the oil and gas sector.
The new tax was born out of Biden's sweeping climate legislation
The New York Times followed a Frank Luntz focus group of 13 young undecided voters over the course of the campaign, the oldest of whom was 27.
What they found out from their coverage of them is rather fascinating and pretty hopeful, because it appears that the group coming up does largely get it. By the election, they had two for Kamala, four who went in different directions, and seven who voted for Trump.
Townhall's Guy Benson broke down the article and observed the word "phony" was applied to Harris "over and over again" and her campaign was referred to as "empty."
When asked to describe her campaign
Eva Longoria says she’s anxious and nervous for Americans who can’t “escape” their “dystopian country” following President-elect Trump’s White House win.
“The shocking part is not that he won,” Longoria told Marie Claire in an interview for its November cover story conducted two days after Trump triumphed in the presidential race.
“It’s that a convicted criminal who spews so much hate could hold the highest office,” said Longoria, who campaigned for Vice President Harris and spoke at the Democratic National Convention in August.
“I would like to think our fight continues,” the former “Desperate Housewives” star said. But,
By taking more of the Hispanic vote than any Republican since the U.S. government created the ethnic category in 1977, President-elect Donald Trump has dismantled a coalition that the Left had expected to ride to power throughout the 21st century. That alone bodes well for conservative governance.
Voters who self-identified as Hispanic broke for Trump at an astonishing 46% rate, which means the actual percentage is likely higher if these early estimates hold. Hispanic men in particular voted for him at a 55-45 rate. These votes might have cost Vice President Kamala Harris the election.

Nikki Haley, a failed presidential candidate and former ambassador to the United Nations, tried to smear President-elect Donald Trump as “shallow” after he stated he would not offer her a position in his second administration.
The comment appears to expose Haley’s resentment of Trump, who defeated her in the 2024 Republican presidential primary race. Haley dropped out in March after Super Tuesday.
She eventually said she would vote for Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris in the months leading up to Election Day, but the endorsement did not cause Trump to bring Haley on the campaign trail as a surrogate, angering many establishment Republicans.

Baseball players, if they're fortunate enough to play 20 years in the Big Leagues, are first-ballot Hall of Famers if they can put the ball in play and reach base safely 3 times out of 10. They're considered among the greatest of all time if they get close to averaging three-and-a-half times out of 10. Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees put up all-world numbers in a season for the ages this past year. Shohei Ohtani, after commiting treason against the Los Angeles Angels to join the Dodgers in the National League, became the first member of the 50-50 club - hitting over 50 home
Eva Longoria fled 'dystopian' America and is 'privileged' to now be living in Mexico and Spain with her family.
The Texas born actress, who has spent her 'whole adult life' in California, says she feels the American 'chapter in my life is done now' and no longer wants to live in Los Angeles, alleging the city has been 'changing'.
Longoria, who has Spanish citizenship, and her producer husband José Bastón, a native of Mexico, have been living abroad with their six-year-old son Santiago while she works on her CNN miniseries Searching for Spain - a follow up to last year's Searching for Mexico.
Under fire from critics including her hometown Chicago newspaper, Oprah Winfrey is now seeking to explain the $1 million fee paid to her production company for a town hall event supporting Kamala Harris.
Before the election, Winfrey's Harpo Productions helped stage a star-studded town hall event for the vice president in Michigan as the billionaire entertainment mogul enthusiastically endorsed Harris to be the next president of the United States.
The Harris campaign footed the bill for organizing the town hall and made a $1 million payment to Winfrey's production company, Harpo Productions.
Rev. Al Sharpton announced that he is organizing a rally in Washington on Jan. 20, coinciding with both the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump and the Martin Luther King Jr. federal holiday.
The outspoken Trump critic announced the rally on MSNBC earlier this week.
“While Trump supporters will be on one side of Washington watching him take the oath of office, I will be at the nation’s capital working to keep the dream alive,” Sharpton said. “There has never been a more important time to peacefully organize and mobilize.”
In 2017, the largest anti-Trump rallies in Washington were held one day after his inauguration.
Back in July, it was George Clooney who was instrumental in having President Joe Biden ousted from the race, weeks after hosting a fundraiser for his reelection campaign in Los Angeles. As we know, Biden was replaced by Vice President Kamala Harris, who still lost to President-elect Donald Trump. Sarah covered at the time last week how many were actually thanking Clooney for getting Trump elected. Now, the Hollywood actor says he's taking a step back from politics.
Something seemed up when, last week, Clooney was all too happy to discuss People's "Sexiest Man Alive," with no mention of politics. He won the award twice, in 1997 and 2006.

A Los Angeles County, California, high school teacher is reportedly under fire for storming out of her classroom at the sight of a student wearing a “Make America Great Again” shirt last week.
In an email sent later to students, obtained by the Daily Mail, the teacher said it is unfair for one group to be able to espouse “racist, misogynistic, antisemite, and homophobic” views: (X) Complaining that teachers “are NOT allowed to express their political views,” she went on to decry the “MAGA shirts” that “represent a deep hatred of minorities, women, non-christian, and LGBTQ+.” According to the teacher, wearing merchandise supporting President-elect Donald Trump is “a HATE crime
ABC News is in “panic mode” to hire some Donald Trump supporters for The View and other ABC News programming.
This will never happen, at least not on The View, but the New York Post has been told that “ABC News brass are in ‘panic mode’ as they hunt for conservative voices to balance the rabid anti-Trump rhetoric spewed by the hosts on The View, as well as those on other shows.” After “last week’s rout by the former president,” the report continues, ABC News executives had “intense sit-downs with executive producers of the network’s various shows and other senior editorial leaders.” “First on the agenda,
Donald Trump could be set to launch one of the biggest crackdowns on unhealthy eating in American history.
