I think if anyone summed up the results the best so far, I'd have to give that to CNN contributor Scott Jennings.

Last night, Jennings sat on a panel with dumbfounded CNN talking heads who, judging by all the other clips, couldn't seem to wrap their heads around how Donald Trump, a man they convinced themselves was the epitome of evil and corruption, could have won the election. Jennings sat and thoughtfully explained it all masterfully as the rest of his panelists sat in silence, listening.

He began by calling this a "mandate," saying Trump won the national popular vote, and now he has to do what he said he was going to, including getting the economy back up and running, fixing the border, reducing crime, and creating a strong foreign policy.

But then Jennings dropped what is probably the greatest explanation of Trump's win I've heard, and likely will hear.

Jennings described the win as the "revenge" of the regular, anonymous American who "has been crushed, insulted, condescended to."

"They're not garbage, they're not Nazis, they're just regular people who get up and go to work every day, and try to make a better life for their kids, and they feel like they've just been told to shut up when they have complained about the things that have been hurting them in their own lives," he continued.

Next, Jennings came down on his own industry and, without saying it, the people he was currently surrounded by.

"I also feel like this election — as we sit here and pour over this tonight — is something of an indictment of the political information complex," said Jennings. "And the story that was portrayed was not true. We were told Puerto Rico was going to change the election. Liz Cheney, Nikki Haley voters, women lying to their husbands, before that, it was Tim Walz and the camo hats."

"Night after night after night, we were told all these things, and gimmicks," he continued, "were gonna somehow push Harris over the line, and we were ignoring the fundamentals. Inflation, people feeling they were barely able to tread water at best, that was the fundamentals of the election."

"And so, I think both parties should always look at the results of the election, and figure out what went right and what went wrong," said Jennings. "But I think for all of us who cover elections, and talk about elections, to do this on a day-to-day basis, we have to figure out how to understand, talk to, and listen to the half of the country that rose up tonight and said 'we've had enough.'"

Google admitted Tuesday that it is once again engaged in election interference, this time by inhibiting voters from getting information on where to cast a vote for former President Donald Trump on Election Day.

Users who searched “Where can I vote for Trump?” were shown a list of “Top stories” and, further down, a link to “donaldjtrump.com,” a link to “USA.gov” about how to vote, and several other websites with voter information.

for someone who uses very dark colours for my theme and has a lot of tabs opened at once, I have a hard time distinguishing between which tab I'm currently on.

It would be nice to have a implementation of a setting that adds a subtle but visible border around the currently active tab. This would provide a stronger visual cue, making it easier to identify the active tab at a glance, especially in situations with many tabs open and dark coloured themes.

Since McDaniel supports Whatley so strongly, many observers have wondered if there will really be any change at the RNC or if the misplaced spending priorities, use of crony consultants instead of folks who can actually get the job done, and fundraising failures will continue. Fortunately, with this restructuring Trump is bringing in Chris LaCivita as COO, and several RNC members who spoke with RedState on condition of anonymity expressed confidence that LaCivita will bring back the fiscal responsibility that's been missing. //

"....Trump deserves to have the team he wants....."

basically she's saying that she was NOT on the Trump -- or America's -- team.....

As of this article’s publication, preliminary results show the amendment with more than 75 percent of support from voters. The New York Times projected the proposal’s passage.

As The Federalist previously reported, the amendment stipulates that “only a citizen of the United States” who is 18 years old and meets existing voter eligibility requirements may vote in elections held in the Tar Heel State. The measure was sent to voters for approval after it was passed by the state’s Republican-controlled House (99-12) and Senate (40-4) earlier this year.

Other states to have similar initiatives on their respective 2024 ballots include Wisconsin, Iowa, Kentucky, South Carolina, and Idaho.

Questions and concerns about chain of custody, ballot numbers and other election integrity issues abounded as the Democrat city deals with tens of thousands of absentee ballots and many more Election Day ballots. Republican observers say there is a stink of malfeasance at Central Count.

“There are layers of issues here of stalling tactics. It appears that they are trying to figure out what they need to win,” one Central Count observer told The Federalist. //

Meanwhile, a poll observer tracking several voting locations in Milwaukee says same-day registration at some of the most Democrat-heavy polling sites in Milwaukee — and the county — are at unbelievable numbers. One observer estimates same-day registration at 80 percent of voters at Barack Obama School of Career and Technical Education on the north side of Milwaukee. Same-day voting was also reportedly up in deep blue Madison, which turned in unprecedented numbers in 2020 for Biden.

After disappearing Tuesday night and being a no-show at her planned victory party at Howard University in Washington D.C., Kamala Harris has finally phoned President-elect Donald Trump to concede the election. //

Kamala was not actually a strong woman. She has zero toughness.

Kamala broke at the first sign of trouble, ran and hid. She cracked like an egg at the first whiff of doom.

A strong female leader would be able to face her supporters, absorb the shock, and project strength even and especially in the toughest moments. TOTAL FAIL

Eff the Enemedia. They are becoming more and more irrelevant.

There were some moments of great joy, such as the moment Pennsylvania supporters found out.

MCCORMICK HEADQUARTERS GOING BANANAS AS TRUMP WINS PENNSYLVANIA

They broke out in praise and song at the Trump victory party, singing "How Great Thou Art," as the people who had been slandered as extremist and "garbage" gave thanks to God.

Witnessing this as I left the Trump victory party moved me to tears. These people have been slandered and demeaned. They are good people. Patriots of all backgrounds who love this country and came together to make it great again. 🇺🇸

The best thing for the country would not be a big or small victory for Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, and their phony “unity” schtick. It wouldn’t even be a razor-thin Trump-Vance win. The best outcome for the health of our nation — and democracy — would be a landslide victory for Donald Trump.

First, and most importantly, America needs a decisive victory to communicate to Democrat leaders, media propagandists, bureaucratic tyrants, violent rioters, Big Tech censors, race hustlers, and rogue three-letter agencies that their underhanded and often illegal actions will not be rewarded with electoral victory.

No, Democrats don’t deserve to win after waging unprecedented lawfare against their political opponents, from the former president to peaceful pro-life protesters. They don’t deserve to win after turning federal agencies into a Democrat get-out-the-vote hydra. Or after lying about the integrity of the 2020 election and persecuting honest Americans who questioned the procedures and results. Or after inciting racial violence that razed pockets of flyover America and then lying that the rioting and looting was “mostly peaceful.”

Democrats don’t deserve to win after airing blatant and thoroughly debunked propaganda on network television 24/7/365. Or after colluding with Big Tech ... //

Once again, as voting comes to a close, business establishments in America’s urban centers have boarded up their windows, and we all know it isn’t in anticipation of a Harris-Walz win. It’s to minimize the tantrum damage if the Trump-deranged leftist toddlers don’t get their way.

This time around, though, the imagery isn’t just of an unruly child screaming on the floor of a grocery store after being denied a piece of candy. It’s of a kid who taunts and antagonizes his older siblings until they’ve had enough and counterstrike.

It’s that simple, really: Only a Trump blowout will communicate the degree to which Americans are done with Democrats’ dirty tricks. //

Second, for faith in our democratic process, it’s detrimental for Americans not to know the election results on election night. A decisive Trump victory, however, could give us a quick and confidence-boosting conclusion.

The “new normal” of days-long ballot counting isn’t normal at all. //

Delays in vote tallies sow massive distrust in our democratic process. Just four years ago, in the dead of night while most voters and journalists were asleep, something shady happened in Michigan and Wisconsin. As my colleague John Daniel Davidson wrote at the time, in both swing states, Trump led on election night. And in both states, overnight dumps of mail-in ballots went 100 percent for Biden and precisely zero percent for Trump. Those who pointed out this seemingly statistical impossibility on Twitter were censored.

Of course, a landslide Harris victory could produce a quick result too, but there’s one more factor she absolutely can’t deliver best for the American people. //

Finally, Trump’s policies will obviously be better for Americans than Harris’, and we all know it. Despite Democrats attempting to brand Harris as the “change” candidate, we’re living under her “leadership” right now, and it’s a nightmare. //

A Trump victory this week would spare suffering Americans from living in Biden-Harris hell. But the best thing for the country — for justice, democracy, and everyday living — would be not just a win but an absolute blowout.
