If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

24 pages on this thread when I jumped back on.  Wow!

Well, I was wrong.  I thought the Dems would cheat their way to another victory.  Does not look like it will happen now.  Amen!!!

And the Republicans picked up a majority in the Senate that if they win all the remaining contests will give them 55 or 56 seats in the Senate.  How wonderful!

The House is still up in the air, with 3 flips on each side of the aisle.  However, with the coattails that appear apparent, I am optimistic that Trump carries enough, even if it is a majority of one to generate a majority in the House.

When they take office, I hope they do not waste the first year messing with Obamacare.  Focus on getting things done for the American people.  And work to establish solid legislation to end the nightmare of the border invasion.

And I suggest that Trump use the folks that worked in the boutique management consulting industry in appointed positions whose industry was completely annihilated by Obama  (90%+ are conservative and would gladly step in and streamline government to a lean machine that is highly productive versus the current mess there now across the board).

Doing so would save billions of dollars, increase output, employee satisfaction, and many other benefits that translate into savings dollar wise.

Last time, Trump kept 1,400 Obama appointees for over one year after taking office.  Utilizing the above mentioned resources, he can start day one with folks loyal to him and not the Dems, Biden, Obama or Harris.  Time to purge all the Democommies from our government.

If you missed Trump's speech after finally taking Wisconsin which put him over the 270 goal line, making he number 47 in waiting, please seek it out and watch it.  It was wonderful, and a wonderful moment for all in America that support him.

And his youngest son is one head taller than him.  He is a giant!

It looks like the popular vote will be a couple of points to the right of the averages.  According to the exit polls, the same thing happened as 2020 --- late deciders breaking heavily for Trump, so the week old surveys didn't catch it. 

Republicans are back up to 219 in the House.  That determination is going to take a while.  Hopefully they hang onto these and add a few more seats where they are down by just a few hundred votes.

5:10 AM  -  I go to bed with Trump the future POTUS, the Republicans having a majority in the Senate, and a gain of 1 in the House, with numerous contests still undecided. 

I say Trump carries enough across the finish line to have a Republican majority in the House too.

This time, I hope the Republicans are not as feckless as they were last time!  Produce already!

I want to thank our good friend @mystery-ak, for guiding and moderating this forum. Just wonderful, myst.  Your hard work and dedication must never be taken for granted.

I’m sorry I wasn’t involved during the run-up of last night and this morning. Truth is, I was not feeling well and a good night’s rest is sometimes hard to come by anyway.  So, I surprised Mrs. L and went to bed before I became too wired to sleep. It kinda worked, lol.

Thank you to all.

God bless America. God Bless Donald J Trump. God bless all of you.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I just heard that John Tester took it in the testicles and lost.  Looking for confirmation of his epic loss in the dental floss state.

Spoke too soon.  But the wailing and gnashing of liberal teeth is fun in itself.  Someone is actually sobbing on the train right now.

Mornin', y'all.

While I still have some grave concerns about a second Trump presidency, especially with him associating with the likes of Kennedy and Musk... I have to admit, seeing the Harris/Walz backers go from "we're the party of patriotism now" to Jeremiah Wright in a few short hours has brought me an unexpected amount of schadenfreude.

As of now, Harris has 15 million fewer votes than Biden got in 2020. Trump has 4 million fewer. Those numbers will shrink a little bit, but it grants a lot of credibility to the idea of 2020 being a sham election. Harris COLOSSALLY misread the electorate—which happened in 2020 as well. It turns out, when the country is clearly on the wrong track on so many issues, making your campaign slogan "We are not going back" was not the brightest idea. I remember this weekend an ad for the Harris campaign playing on my radio, trying to scaremonger the idea of Trump tariffs by saying "Everything in your house that says Made in China is going to be more expensive!" After the pandemic, after all that—admitting you serve Chinese interests was a huge misfire. Taking black and Latino men for granted was a misfire. Overplaying the Handmaid's Tale cosplays and hysteria was a misfire—but one that, I fear, will trigger a huge backlash of sex strikes and 4B-like mass refusal of men that will harm our society now that they've lost. Tim Walz trying to run for VP with the rhetoric of a middle school bully was a huge misfire. The JD Vance couch lie—HUGE misfire.

All in all, a second monumental collapse for the Harris campaign on the national stage.

I had braced myself for either result. This morning... for now... I will relish the harpies' meltdown.

Continue to pray for our nation.

I agree, @jmyrlefuller . The Harris campaign woefully misread the room, so to speak.
