I am speechless. Amsterdam Police just confirmed that NO ONE has been arrested during the Islamic Jewhunt in Amsterdam Thursday night. All arrests have been made before and during the soccer match and NOT during the pogrom. 😡
12:57 PM · Nov 9, 2024. //

The pogrom was unleashed just days ahead of November 9, also marked as the Reichskristallnacht or the ‘Night of Broken Glass,’ a date remembered for the 1938 Nazi pogroms against German Jews in the run-up to the Holocaust.

Anyway, the long and short of it is that, while Kamala Harris was graciously conceding her electoral loss to a man she had insincerely warned was dangerous fascist, she tried to soothe her supporter’s souls by, however inadvertently, quoting one of Hitler’s favorite historians. Absolute perfection.

So yes, after dropping over $1 billion and failing so miserably there will be questions, and a slew of answers, on how this went so poorly – or rather, make that “so disastrously” instead. (“Poorly” is bad form after that lavish spending.) At the Washington Examiner, Gabe Kaminsky looked over some of the financials from the campaign and there are revelations that abound. One issue is with the expanse of payroll, where she managed to outspend Trump at a clip of over $55 million, while his total came in under $10 million; he won while using hundreds fewer employees. //

The campaign dropped $100,000 to build the rather tepid set of the show in a hotel room.

This figure pales when you see other expenses, such as the $15 million dropped on the celebrity-choked election eve rally, but it displays so much of the horrid decision-making. Why did an interview like this need a set built when a couple of cameras would suffice for a podcast format? //

They didn't spend it. They laundered it.

But there are already good signs in the wake of the sweeping Republican victory, as illegals in a massive caravan traversing our neighbor to the south have reportedly started to abandon it and turn back:

The caravan, which began earlier this week in southern Mexico, included approximately 3,000 migrants seeking asylum or economic opportunities in the U.S.

It's telling that one woman who wasn't deterred by Trump's win name-checked CBP One as giving her hope:

Speaking to Reuters, another Venezuelan migrant, identified only as Jeilimar, explained that she hopes to secure an asylum appointment via the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's CBP One app before Trump takes office in January 2025.

"With God's favor, I'll get that appointment," she said. //

MX is bussing migrants straight to the U.S. border for their CBP One cell phone app appointments.

Roughly 1,300-1,500 migrants are allowed into the U.S. every day via this Biden program.

Trump previously told me he will terminate it immediately upon taking office if he wins. //

If she really wants asylum she must apply in the first neutral country she crosses. We share no border with Venezuela.

So this is a failed application from the get go. Apply in any contiguous country or register at the closest US embassy office. Get in line. We'll get back to you.

As a result of the election held on November 5, 2024, the defendant is expected to be certified as President-elect on January 6, 2025, and inaugurated on January 20, 2025. The Government respectfully requests that the Court vacate the remaining deadlines in the pretrial schedule to afford the Government time to assess this unprecedented circumstance and determine the appropriate course going forward consistent with Department of Justice policy, //

MINUTE ORDER as to DONALD J. TRUMP: The Government's 278 Unopposed Motion to Vacate Briefing Schedule is hereby GRANTED. All remaining deadlines in the pretrial schedule are VACATED. By December 2, 2024, the Government shall file a status report indicating its proposed course for this case going forward. Signed by Judge Tanya S. Chutkan on 11/8/2024.

EXCLUSIVE: Internal messages obtained by The Daily Wire show a FEMA official ordered relief workers in Florida not to help houses with Trump signs
4:28 PM · Nov 8, 2024. //

FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell announced the firing of a FEMA manager who ordered her staff not to assist residents displaying flags or yard signs supporting President-elect Donald Trump's campaign. Using a Saturday afternoon message on the social media platform "X," formerly known as Twitter, Criswell acknowledged the veracity of the report that first appeared in the Daily Wire (see OUTRAGE: FEMA Workers Working Hurricane Milton Aftermath Ordered to Bypass Houses With Trump Signs). This follows a report that the responsible official was "removed" from their position on Friday. //

Firing is a necessary but not sufficient step.

First, this announcement does not appear on FEMA's website in any form other than a tweet. It seems to me that this should rate some sort of an official statement.

Second, Washington's message does not give the impression that she came up with it independently. In my opinion, it looks very much like a safety briefing she took down at a meeting.

Third, firing her and referring the case to the Office of Special Counsel looks more like an exercise in butt-covering and scapegoating than concern about her actions.

Fourth, while her actions may be viewed as just the petty tyranny we've come to expect from a highly politicized federal bureaucracy, depriving citizens of federal assistance because they supported a major party candidate is a violation of multiple federal laws. FEMA seems to be attempting to appear to take action until the heat dies down. Fortunately, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis isn't going along to get along. //

At a minimum, all staff working under her supervisory chain need to be questioned about the instructions they received. It is entirely possible that Washington was the only team leader dim enough to write down and disseminate something meant to be unsaid. In fact, it is unbelievable that this was not FEMA policy in that area. A thorough investigation that results in firing everyone involved with this policy is not enough. Asses need to go to jail. //

While the Democrats preached fear about Trump, the reality is that bad actors fear strength and take advantage of weakness. They've had weakness with Biden and Harris for four years. They know the strength is coming back, and they're now backpedaling in the face of it.

Some like Townhall's Katie Pavlich are calling it the "Trump Effect."

We're likely to see a lot more of this as people realize sanity, and the real adults, are going to be back in charge in January.

A criminal complaint against an Iranian agent and two U.S. citizens charged with plotting to assassinate Donald Trump and other enemies of the Iranian regime was unsealed Friday. //

Just skimmed the indictment. The alleged illegal activities go back over a year. The alleged conspirators have been in communication with FBI informants, have been surveilled and maybe even searched using sneak and peak warrants for most of 2024.

There have been rumors about foreign assassin teams for a few months, but pundits in the MSM have been dismissing them as "unsubstantiated" and "without evidence."

So for those keeping score, the DOJ (via Jack Smith) can drop a boatload of unsubstantiated material detrimental to Trump shortly before the election. But the same DOJ needs to keep an indictment of potential assassins under until a few days after the election. //

Is it interesting that the secret serviceleft gaping holes in protection of Trump while knowing these threats existed? It seems interesting.

Last month, in an interview with Tucker Carlson, J.D. Vance said he worried about the U.S. government bond market in the early stages of a Trump presidency. Because of Biden-Harris spending, the U.S. is adding about $2 trillion to the national debt every year, he said, and “The only thing that makes that serviceable is that interest rates are still pretty low.” If interest rates go much higher, say to 8 percent, “that can become a huge spiral that could take down the finances of this country.”

Vance said that international investors and foreign countries — beneficiaries of globalization — could try to take down the new Trump administration by selling U.S. government bonds, which would cause interest rates to rise sharply.

"Holy Toledo. Oh, my goodness gracious," Enten declared. "These are the types of groups that you would have never thought that Donald Trump would have gained so much support among eight years ago."

Plus, it was the best GOP showing with age 18-29 year olds in 20 years, black voters in 48 years, Hispanics in 52+ years, he explained.

Trump's mandate:

1. More states (49 + DC) swung in his direction vs. last election than anyone since 1992.
2. Best GOP showing w/ age 18-29 in 20 yrs, Black voters in 48 yrs, Hispanics in 52+ yrs.
3. Coattails: best GOP showing in House popular vote in prez year since 1928.

Let's not forget this point that Enten also made about the exit polls and just how well Trump did with Latino men, the best for a Republican candidate since they started exit polls in the 1970s and ten points better than Kamala Harris. //

The fact that so many demographics gravitated towards Trump is a testimony to the power Free Speech (internet, talk radio, X) has over Propaganda (MSM).

To me there seemed to be 2 big turning points in Trump's campaign with messaging, demeanor, and everything: his pick of JD as his running mate and the first assassination attempt on his life. After this, his messaging became decidedly more on point, policy oriented, more positive and he seemed to actually be enjoying his time on the campaign trail. I think it was a wakeup call for him, that he really accepted from the Man upstairs to become the serious candidate we all wanted and needed him to be.

What government does for anyone, it must do for everyone or it must do for no one. That's a pretty good, basic principle of good government; sadly, it's not always handled that way, and a bureaucrat with a political agenda can hurt a lot of people.

Case in point: On Friday we reported on the case of a FEMA supervisor who, in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton's damaging pass across Florida, ordered aid workers to bypass homes bearing Trump signs or flags. This was called a "best practice.". //

We can now report that the supervisor in question has been "removed from the role." //

This is an unforgivable breach of trust. In any disaster recovery operation like this, bypassing any citizens because of their political affiliation should be dealt with more harshly than just "removing them" from the role - dismissal would be indicated, right? //

[James Comer] "FEMA admits this happened but doesn’t say if the bureaucrat responsible has been fired," the House Oversight Committee wrote on X. "Democrats relentlessly defend the rules that insulate unelected bureaucrats from accountability and make it nearly impossible to fire bad employees. This is why we need President Trump’s reforms to make bureaucrats accountable." //

A DEI hire, she needs more than a reassignment. A nice term In Federal Prison is a good place to start. And all the ones that obeyed her illegal orders need to be fired.
