Caption: How the mainstream media views high propensity Trump voters.

The Braying of a Distant Ass
In case the giddiness of last night’s victory has given anyone delusions about Democrats looking in the mirror and contemplating some hard introspection—or even more Pollyannish, believing a cure for TDS will ever be found…
This op-ed is currently the top headline on the San Francisco Chronicle‘s webpage.
“There are a lot of dirty hands involved in this. I can blame the Senate, which declined to convict in either of Trump’s impeachments. I can blame a cowed mainstream media [LOL]. I can blame the internet. I can blame a judiciary that now deserves to be burned. I can blame voter suppression and intimidation [LOL]. I can blame the Democrats. I can blame Joe Biden. I can blame the Republicans. I can blame the youth voters (et tu, children?). I can blame Elon. I can blame Florida. I can blame them all, and I’d have facts on my side in every instance [LOL].”
“But honestly, what does it matter? My fellow Americans, and they feel so distant right now, watched Trump infect them all with his greasy feelings and said, “Thank you, sir, may I have another?” That’s the cold, awful truth I’m left to stew in this morning and many mornings thereafter…”
<snip>
“… Is it because America has always been this irrational and hateful? Is it because millions of Americans hated Trump but still voted for him anyway because they were simply sick of telling him no?”
<snip>
“I believed Vice President Kamala Harris would trounce the former president last night. She said and did all of the right things. She tapped perhaps the world’s most genuine sports dad to be her running mate [LOL]. She was on the side of goodness and normalcy [HUGE LOL], and Democrats, myself among them, assumed that Trump’s open calls to end democracy would turn off all freedom-loving Americans. I wanted to believe that. I had to believe that because it appealed to my better nature and who wants final confirmation that they live among monsters?”
<snip>
“I can’t take comfort in those efforts right now, not with such a grotesque future world in the offing… …that’s thin gruel to subsist on right now because my fellow Americans did this. They wanted this, and I’ll never again take it as a given that they’re a good and kind people. The cost is too high.”
Bullet Points:
** What is the fastest spinning object discovered in the known universe? Check this out. I follow news of discoveries of neutron stars as a sort of hobby. They are the objects that interest me more than anything else in the cosmos. A neutron star forms when a massive star reaches the end of its life, explodes as a supernova, and its core collapses under immense gravity, crushing protons and electrons together to form neutrons, leaving behind a super-dense remnant composed primarily of neutrons; this only happens if the core mass is within a specific range, typically between 1 and 3 times the mass of our Sun, otherwise it would collapse into a black hole instead.
** Fishing on Titan? No, there is no boating with EdB involved in this concept. However, NASA has proposed sending a submarine to explore Titan’s oceans.
** Photo right courtesy LSP. Another primal scream.
** This is the first time I heard that a stress ball is for squeezing, not throwing at people who stress you out. Who would know? The balls should come with instructions. It’s like those stress dolls – you’re not supposed to carve on them with sharp knives or shoot them for sport. The intuitive thing is not what they want you to do with them. I wonder if they were developed by people who have stress issues. My guess is no.
** Flying with MikeW — he fought the law.
Commentary
The basket of deplorables or the garbage, as we referred to by our betters, handed a defeat to the elites. As I’ve discussed on this blog before, they had to know that it was coming despite the denials and the (endless) polls showing the popularity of the Whore and Fudd. The lessons that Pres. Trump was handed during 45 were learned, and I don’t expect them to be repeated during 47. Now, the RNC is controlled by Pres. Trump, which means that the trickle-down funding will go to Republicans who tow the line. He’s playing politics Democrat style.
Will the Hollywood types, the wymyn of The View, and the Obamas leave the United States forever as they’ve vowed? Will Barack and Big Mike sell their mansions in Hawaii, DC, and Martha’s Vineyard and buy a compound in Kenya? Do they need help packing?
More than a dozen executives from regional and international energy companies expected average prices to be below $75 next year. Brent crude is down today. President Trump said to RFKjr in his victory speech: “Bobby, leave the oil to me. We have more liquid gold — oil and gas — than any country in the world. More than Saudi Arabia, more than Russia. Bobby, stay away from the liquid gold.” He sent a signal that can’t be ignored.
I expect a brokered end to the Ukraine War before President Trump takes office in January. Peace with Russia and agreements to the detriment of the world’s common enemy, the People’s Republic of China.
Priorities
President Trump will be the next US President, absent WSF’s misgivings about the Swamp’s malicious intentions. Unlike his first victory in 2016, he and his team are much more organized, experienced, and prepared to take power. We have a broad idea of what changes of direction or emphasis will take place.
This is your opportunity to handicap his picks for the top cabinet positions: State, Defense, Energy, Homeland Security, Treasury, Health and Human Services, and Attorney General. What about the other appointed positions with access to levers of power, such as Director of the FBI, Director of Central Intelligence, Director of National Intelligence, National Security Advisor, etc? I think Dan Bongino has the Secret Service Directorship sewed up.
- The Blinken/Sullivan Iran lobby and their circle with conflicted loyalties are out. Those Arab powers most concerned with the previous pro-Iranian American administration will rest easier. They will likely continue joining the modern world to push back against the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism and its proxies.
- The incoming administration will be even more pro-Israel than the first time around. As Israel enters its second year at war with Iran’s proxies, a lot of deferred maintenance will not have the time, money, and support needed to make a real, lasting impact. The Trump Administration is likely to pitch in with that role in mind.
- Regardless of what happens in Ukraine and how the inevitable negotiations with Russia go in 2025, while the USA is not leaving NATO, it will be unpacking what remains of much of its land component and other money, personnel, and material drains for the USA in Europe and will shift to the Pacific. The great irony here is that the person who will have the best chance of making President Obama’s “Pacific Pivot” happen will be President Trump 47.
- DOD is one of the last hold-outs of the racist, 1970s-centric, Cultural Marxism that the Diversity Industry needs to keep its cancer fat and fed. As the CINC, the President can do much to eliminate the policies and positions. There will need to be supporting actions up on The Hill, but with (R) in charge of both Houses…there will be no excuses.

RCC nailed E. But well done. B – 2021 film about dueling, etc.
The Last Duel
The Last Duel. I thought the book was better. But then again, I thought Matt Damon’s best work was in Team America, so what do I know.
I haven’t read the book. Should I?
Yes. More background. Do recommend.
E: On the right: Kevin McKidd as Lucius Vorenus. A son of Hades.

And Ray Stevenson as Titus Pullo at center/left. (RIP)
He f-ed Concord up the back door… and he broke their idol. It was a great series.
Vorenus meets Pullo.

RE: SF Chronicle’s delusionary rant. A poor worker always blames his tools, and they sure have a lot of “tools” in the Donk party.
They have Antifa but didn’t unleash them…yet
Oh Please! A Target Rich Environment.
They also have Black Lives Matter, Ed.

I don’t think we’ll see any mischief here until April or May. It’s just too hard to riot, destroy, and loot while there’s a couple feet of snow on the ground.
Trump’s picks-my recommendation is Texas’ very own RINO-john cornyn-Ambassador to N’Djamena, Chad, or equivalent garden spot.
That would place him beyond influence – great idea.

Submarines to titan? While I personally like the idea, Elon should fire those people first. Is that old mine where Obama buried his integrity, or his masculinity?
It’s doubtful Obama ever had either
question:
how soon will President Trump take action to open Bab al-Mandab Strait, what action?
Maybe January 21. There is a carrier battle group headed there now, I don’t know their ETA.

The WSF cynicism syndrome continues. Some cheer; despite all the trust fund snot money spent in the CO 3rd, the one Lauren Boebert left, went (R). Boebert, who moved to CO 4th, won. CO 8th, where I live, is still in limbo. As usual, the Front Range Counties went Ho, the rest of the state Orange Man Bad. Colofornia still strong.
Still not betting SloJo will still be alive 1/20/2025.
Are we doing a dead pool on Pedo Joe now?
Pedo Joe dies, Kamala is sworn in to finish the term, WWIII seemingly breaks out, national emergency declared, etc.
I think that’s a stretch.
Wait, Joe is still alive? He looks undead, at best.

Not the relatively healthy-looking vampirism of Gavin Newsome, either.

Body double…altho he has no pressure now so can eat ice cream and ride his bicycle when and where he pleases because no one cares about him.
Trump dropped a POA to dismantle the Deep State garbage…taking it out in definitive form as expected. Already moving at light speed, and Hamas offered a cease fore overnight. The rats are running for the hills…went from submarines with screen doors to a nuke sub on standby…and the world reprobates are dialing back their free reign.
I’d be willing to bet that all the Biden’s voted for Trump just to spite Harris. 🤣 They’ll probably axe Pedo before Christmas so they can have a chance to have a black female Indian in office. I like Vivek Ramaswamy for WH press secretary. Thoughts?
I think that they have a female selected for Press Secretary. I think that Vivek set his sights higher. Maybe Ambassador to the UN?
I think he will slay it no matter whenever they put him.
In 2020 all the people who had “Biden/Harris” yard signs left them up for a couple of weeks. I had some errands to run on Wednesday, and ALL of those signs (at the same homes) were….GONE!</b.
One of Trump’s biggest challenges will be how to serve his revenge without making it appear too brutal. Then again, brutality on those that raised their sword against legal power is effective in preventing it in the future. Regardless of how the people in the U.S. may find some of it distasteful, most other nations understand how dangerous the world actually is, and will feel safer if they know the back-stabbing reprobates that are soon to be out of power are punished. I know I will, and with some, their treason deserves a public hanging.
I think that he will de-fang the swamp, and how he does it depends in part on the level of majority in the House of Representatives. Can the new Trump Party keep the Republicans in line the way the Dems do? It remains to be seen.
I think so. I pray so.
x2
and the sooner the better
I want brutal…there is no compromise between Good and Evil…eradicate the bums ruining our Constitutional Republic.
Eradicate?!!
Two words: Disproportionate Impact
enforce existing laws.
without mercy.
PUBLICLY.
quite simple. Constitutional. Historic precents.
Makes judicial appeals unlikely.
take out the garbage!
Apologies-
I meant pre-existing
Precedents.
and long before they begin spinning like whirling dervishes, all sentient life on the surrounding orbs has been extinguished
have those civilizations departed for other climes in time?
would make for an interesting SF novel
Goodbye and thanks for all the fish….
“They wanted this, and I’ll never again take it as a given that they’re a good and kind people.”

Yeah? Look in the mirror, pal.
“That’s the cold, awful truth I’m left to stew in this morning and many mornings thereafter…”
HEREafter would be correct here, Mr. snobby, deluded urinalist. [Eyes rolling, while doing the classic 80s finger-down-the-throat move.]
“I expect a brokered end to the Ukraine War before President Trump takes office in January. Peace with Russia and agreements to the detriment of the world’s common enemy, the People’s Republic of China.”
I really hope you’re right about that.
“Some People have an Aversion to Old Mines”
You go ahead. I’ll wait here.
I’ll ask your pardon in advance (and I dislike being gross), but some men, even those at an advanced age (like me), have absolutely no “…Aversion to (exploring) Old Mines.”
Is it the Old or the Mines that Freddie objects to?
is President Trump going to re-start negotiations with Denmark re the purchase of Greenland?
Denmark said no. But I think we should make them a fair cash offer.
as I understand it, the PRC isa bidding as well
Indeed they are.
I think it would be cheaper as well as more practical than our cumulative “investments” in your crane have been.
of course, past performance…
I read a SciFi story years ago about a guy about to drop onto Titan.
His consciousness had been transferred into a bio-engineered body that was developed to survive the challenge and explore and report back.
He was the 3rd or so try, the others never to be heard from again.
He does the drop and he is so awed by the experience he just swims off to find his friends, never to be heard from again.
Old is merely an exacerbation.
Nuh uh.
the American Association for the Preservation of Puma concolor coryi will be watching you closely; particularly the Florida chapter

“Braying of a Distant Ass”
I favor reverse secession. Let’s kick CA out of the Union – that’s what they seem to want anyway. All that gold in the 1850s blinded those who allowed it to become a state. The gold’s gone now – all that’s left is the tarnish of pyrite and a distant, grasped-upon, 3rd-hand memory of former glory.
To be fair about it, 40+% of the California vote went to President Trump. 12 members of the California caucus in the House of Representatives are Republicans.
We can keep Jefferson and the east side of the Sierra. Only a dream though.
“Peace with Russia and agreements to the detriment of the world’s common enemy, the People’s Republic of China.”
Makes more sense to be “friends” with Russia than the Chinks. But I guess there are more cents with China.
Regarding the complete stupidity of the left regarding Trump winning, I have to admit I’ve spent some time on X replying to as many of the Box Wine Cat Ladies (and men) as to how their beliefs that KH was the absolute best ever candidate is wrong. And I’ve been banned from their accounts. Even replied to Barbara Streisand and I got banned.

Needless to say, I find joy in spreading good news and truth.

Still, I do expect to see stupidity in the streets ramping up in the next two months or so.
here here!!
we should ALL do likewise to all the evil mf’ers.
Relentlessly
my 0.02 worth anyway
Unlike his first victory in 2016, he and his team are much more organized, experienced, and prepared to take power.
YES
Which is part of the reason this 2024 win is better than a 2020 alt.
