Being a Good Winner Doesn't Include Cancel Mobs

Going viral on X isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. It happened to me this week, and I think I’d rather it hadn’t. Let me explain. My daughter started her first year of college in September. Her father and I had a lot of conversations with her about starting small—somewhere inexpensive to be fiscally sound, living at home, getting an associate's degree, and then moving on to the college of her choice. Being our eldest and most responsible child, she agreed not to kill our finances right out of the gate. We were happy with this decision. When she signed up for classes and I saw the reading list

Would you like to know what the Deep State knows? Every dirty little secret? The details of their campaigns against parents concerned about the political and sexual indoctrination of their kids in public schools? Want to know who decided to surveil Catholics and other Christians? How about who’s behind the tyrannical pursuit of Americans who visited the Capital on January 6? Want all the details about who’s behind the Covid lockdowns and lies? How about the real story on the 51 intelligence traitors who went after Trump, the whole story on the Russia hoax and who decided to bury the Hunter Biden laptop story?
Manliness Needs to Make a Comeback

Regarding the education of American boys, the news of late seems rather bleak: our boys are struggling in school. As Richard Reeves of the American Institute for Boys and Men points out, 45,000 fewer boys than girls are graduating each year from high school, amounting to a gender gap of 6%. The gender gap in higher education is even wider, with young men earning only 42% of the degrees. In the average school district, according to Reeves, boys are almost a grade level behind girls in English language arts.
These discouraging statistics track with Reeves’s other observations from the social science data. Distinct from previous generations, young men today

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed on Friday that his country’s war with Russia will “end sooner” after President-elect Donald Trump’s win last week.
Throughout the 2024 campaign, Trump and his running-mate, Sen. JD Vance, have vowed to end the Ukraine–Russia conflict, saying that the United States has provided too much funding to the Eastern European country and has warned about the specter of nuclear war amid the conflict.
“A just peace is critical for us, so that we do not feel we have lost the best only to have injustice forced upon us,” Zelenskyy told a Ukrainian news outlet on Friday, according to a translation.
Taylor Swift, who endorsed Kamala Harris for president, is reportedly seeing ticket prices fall for the latest leg of her “Eras” tour, which will play in Toronto this week — in some cases, prices have dropped by hundreds of dollars.
The series of concerts will mark Taylor Swift’s first “Eras” performances since President-elect Donald Trump decisively trounced Kamala Harris in the election last week, winning both the electoral and popular votes.
In a report published by the New York Post, tickets now start at $991, before fees, while just three days ago, the lowest price was $1,321 before fees, based on searches carried out
"His [Donald Trump’s] first term was undermined by Obama allies in U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies, and there’s evidence that the heart of the resistance is now ensconced inside the Pentagon and already poised to fight him."
That was the intrepid Lee Smith in “Obama’s Not Going Anywhere” on Tablet. As Robert Spencer notes at Frontpage, the evidence is already appearing. A plea-bargain deal for 9/11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and two alleged accomplices is back on the table after Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin canceled it in early August, doubtless fearing the possible effect on the presidential campaign. The 9/11 attack killed nearly 3,000 people in New York,
Automatic voter registration (AVR) creates a honeypot for voter fraud by bloating voter rolls—often in numbers above the actual population. It can allow noncitizens to register; and allows low-information, indifferent people to register who normally care nothing about voting. All of this results in the lowest common denominator getting elected to office, breeding corruption.
The push for AVR began during the middle of the last decade; today 24 states use it in some way. Usually, it consists of some combination of adding anyone who gets a driver’s license to the rolls, whether they care to register, or allowing them to opt out of registering when they get their license
With the GOP’s regained Senate majority, the freshly-branded Majority Leader John Thune has a mountain of work ahead of him once he takes the gavel. He must confirm President-elect Trump’s cabinet nominees, pass legislation securing the border, and extend the expiring 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act benefiting more than 80% of individual taxpayers.
But before any legislating can happen, the Senate must choose the membership of its committees. Thune must use his authority as Majority Leader to limit the committee assignments of one newly elected Senator: Democrat Adam Schiff of California.
Schiff must be denied a position on any of the body’s committees centered around national security, intelligence, or foreign affairs,
Conservatives are feeling pretty good about the 2024 election, but two things happened.
1. The margin of victory decisively beat the ‘margin of steal’. Despite the “elections are hopeless” blackpillers, you can ‘stop the steal’ by beating the margin of fraud. The problem is that this is like going into a game knowing that you have to win by 8 to win by 2. And if you win by 4, you lose.
2. Some election integrity wins (although far too limited). These included a ban on letting the Dems find and count ‘undated’ ballots until they win the election in Pennsylvania. This is the most common and pernicious form of fraud.
Israel was supposed to launch retaliatory strikes against Iran. They never came. Days and weeks have passed, and it’s clear why the airstrikes, marketed as unprecedented and lethal, were halted. Someone leaked the plans for the strikes. It came from the Pentagon last October. Now, we’ve learned of the individual who was part of this breach: His name is Asif W. Rahman. Mr. Rahman, a CIA official, was arrested in Cambodia on Tuesday and flown to Guam, where he faces Espionage Act charges. This man had a top security clearance (via NYT): "A C.I.A. official has been charged with disclosing classified documents that appeared to show Israel’s plans

Since the dawn of time, man has gazed to the heavens and wondered, “What would be, like, the most epic troll of all time? Cuz that’d be wicked cool!”
History is rife with trolling examples, both good and bad. In the bad category is a triumphant Hitler posing in front of the Eiffel Tower, shortly after France folded like an accordion. Those black and white photos were powerful pieces of wartime propaganda.
Politically, the most famous one is probably a wide-smiling Harry Truman holding the newspaper that erroneously proclaimed, “Dewey Defeats Truman.” That headline ran in the Chicago Daily Tribune, which must’ve been a mixed blessing for the publisher:
How Badly Harris Lost and Why

Donald Trump appears to have been the first Republican in 20 years to win the popular vote.
Scouring the internet, the only Democrat figure who seems to be smiling is President Joe Biden. For the others it seems to be a time of mourning. A look at the results, their implications, and the machinations of the federal bureaucracy is in order.
The very best wrapup is by Victor Davis Hanson.
Harris-Walz were not the only losers: There were the media which gave him 95% negative coverage and the pollsters:
The polls -- with the exception once again of AltasIntel, Trafalgar, and Rasmussen -- were off, and way off in the Senate races.

Liberal women have sworn to go on sex strike over Donald Trump’s election win.
Mr Trump swept to victory in Tuesday’s presidential race that Democrats cast as a referendum on abortion rights and protections for women.
Some women are now threatening to punish men for voting for Trump, taking inspiration from a Korean feminist movement that vows to withhold sex from men in order to redefine the gender power balance.

Democrat Rep. Wiley Nickel (D-NC) is so bereaved by Vice President Kamala Harris’s loss and President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks that he is suggesting Democrats take action and form a “shadow government,” operating to oppose the Trump agenda that the majority if the country voted for.
Nickel put forth his idea in an op-ed in the Washington Post, asserting that it is time for America to “borrow from our British friends and appoint a shadow cabinet to fight back against the worst excesses of a second Trump administration.” He laid out his vision on the House floor, asserting that “new times call for new solutions.”“Last week stung.
OAKLAND, Calif. - A recent poll showed that Vice President Kamala Harris could have a strong advantage if she chooses to run for governor of California in 2026 when Gov. Gavin Newsom’s term ends. The survey, carried out by the University of California, Berkeley's Institute of Governmental Studies and co-sponsored by the Los Angeles Times, indicated that nearly half of the 4,838 participants might support Harris in a potential gubernatorial bid. The Times reported that Harris's support would mostly come from Democratic voters, with 72% indicating they would be very or somewhat likely to back her for governor. In contrast

11 Million Illegal Aliens. Is That Even Possible? 35 replies
During his campaign, Donald Trump promised moms like Jackie Medina he would deport millions of illegal immigrants, including criminals like the man who killed her 16-year-old daughter Lizbeth last year.
But can he even do it?
There are an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the U.S., and Trump has vowed to deport “all” of them. The vast majority aren’t dangerous, and many have lived and worked in the U.S. for years. Does the president-elect really plan to deport such a massive number, even those who don’t pose an immediate threat to society? While border security needs to be tightened,
Former Vice President Mike Pence has urged Senate Republicans to reject President-elect Donald Trump’s nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS).
Mike Pence, who famously turned his back on Trump after serving under him during his first term, has now released a scathing statement on Kennedy’s nomination.
Pence, in an ironic twist, called it “deeply concerning” and labeled it a “betrayal” of the pro-life values their administration once stood for.
On Thursday, President Trump announced his decision to appoint Kennedy to the pivotal role,
New Yorkers aren’t letting Whoopi Goldberg’s sourpuss act spoil their favorite spot for sweet treats, after she put a local bakery on blast on national TV, alleging they refused to serve her because of her lefty political beliefs.
“I think it’s ridiculous. Why would she come all the way to Staten Island for her cupcake? To make an issue? They’ve been here forever,” Deborah Bernaz, 68, said of the comic’s claims against the beloved 145-year-old Holtermann’s Bakery on Staten Island.
“I don’t think it has anything to do with politics. They’re a little Staten Island bakery. I think it’s bulls–t what she’s saying. Leave politics out of the bakery,”

Laura Helmuth, the editor-in-chief of Scientific American, has resigned after receiving fierce backlash for her expletive-filled online tirade in which she called Donald Trump voters “f****** fascists” on election night.
“I’ve decided to leave Scientific American after an exciting 4.5 years as editor in chief,” Helmuth announced on her Bluesky account Thursday.
“I’m going to take some time to think about what comes next (and go birdwatching).” Helmuth’s resignation comes after she fired off a series of social media posts on election night bashing people who voted for former President Donald Trump over Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris.

It is official. The 97th Oscars have a host and his name is Conan O’Brien.
The Emmy Award-winning television host, writer, producer and comedian will be the sole host for the 97th Academy Awards on March 2, 2025, Academy CEO Bill Kramer and Academy President Janet Yang announced today. It will be O’Brien’s first time hosting the broadcast.
“We are thrilled and honored to have the incomparable Conan O’Brien host the Oscars this year,” said Kramer and Yang. “He is the perfect person to help lead our global celebration of film with his brilliant humor
Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) said Friday on CNN’s “The Lead” that she hopes President-elect Donald Trump reconsiders replacing FBI director Christopher Wray, whom he previously appointed in 2017, with Kash Patel.
Host Jake Tapper said, “So Trump is also reportedly considering Kash Patel as FBI director. Patel worked in the Defense Department during Trump’s first term. He’s promised in the past to essentially go after Trump’s enemies, and including people in the media. He has not been formally nominated, but it is definitely true that Trump is considering making him FBI director. Do you have a take on him?”
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has filed to run for reelection in 2026 even as she is reportedly doing “terrible” after President-elect Donald Trump’s massive victory and Republicans taking the Senate and retaining the House majority.
The 84-year-old career politician, whose district covers San Francisco, has been in the House since 1987 and remains so after winning a 20th term last week.
She made her thoughts clear on the election outcome by saying Democrats might have fared better if President Joe Biden had exited the race sooner and gone before the party turned on him.
