Democrats have continued to lose the conversation, with women coming out in even the sports world to reject messages from athletes like Angel Reese.

Despite saying in August that she wasn’t following the presidential campaigns, Reese put out a simple statement the morning after Donald Trump became the 47th president.

“As a woman, I’m heartbroken for us all…” Reese decried on her X account.

At the same time, Reese shared a picture of Vice President Kamala Harris on her Instagram, which had a caption “thank you, Kamala Harris, we are proud of you.”

However, female readers were not supportive of Reese’s emotional plea and flooded her replies with disagreements.

“Smart women know to vote beyond identity politics,” a woman named Angie quickly replied.

— (@)

Another reader replied, “what’s a woman,” implying that the Democratic position on gender politics is that a woman cannot be simply defined.

“Imagine believing all the lies about trump! Wow!” a Trump supporter with “America First” in her profile also stated.

Another X user even went as far as to say “keep your legs closed. Simple,” inferring that Reese was taking issue with abortion rights, which are not under President Trump’s control, however.

Reese revealing her political leanings, albeit somewhat covertly, is a change from her typical responses to questions about Harris in the months leading up to the election.

During previous media availability periods, Reese parried questions about supporting the Democratic candidate.

For example, when reporter Brandon Robinson caught up with Reese on the court, he directly asked the athlete for her thoughts on the vice president:

“[Kamala Harris] is a woman, and she’s doing her thing, running for president,” the reporter began. “Have you had a chance to watch her? What are your thoughts on her running for political office?”

At the time, Reese’s response was refreshingly-normal, telling the reporter she didn’t feel educated enough to comment on the race.

“I haven’t been able to tap a lot into the political election … so I’m not that educated right now, but [I] just continue to learn,” Reese replied.

Instead, the Chicago Sky player suggested, “everybody go out there and vote.”

“I commend that, and I just tell a lot of people to go out there and vote because we need it for this election,” Reese added.

The overwhelming volume of negative quotes and replies to Reese seem to signal that female voters prefer to focus on issues that are affecting their lives.

Responses relating to men in women’s locker rooms appear alongside disgruntled basketball fans and Christians in what has become a cross-section of Americans focused on political, economical, and social issues rather than gender or racial politics.

In a post-election interview on Wednesday, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. revealed some of his plans for a major overhaul of the country’s key health agencies.

An MSNBC reporter asked RFK Jr. whether he will terminate “the top level federal service workers that are currently at” the Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“In some categories,” Kennedy responded. “There are entire departments, like the nutrition departments at FDA, that have to go.”

He said workers in certain departments, including nutrition, are “not doing their job” or “protecting our kids.”

“Why do we have Froot Loops in this country that have 18 or 19 ingredients, and you go to Canada, and it’s got two or three?” Kennedy questioned.

When asked whether he plans to eradicate any of the agencies, Kennedy replied, “To eliminate the agencies, as long as it requires congressional approval, I wouldn’t be doing that.”

Kennedy explained that he is confident he could “get the corruption out of the agencies.”

“It’s what I’ve been doing for 40 years. I’ve sued all those agencies. I have a PhD in corporate corruption, and that’s what I do. And once they’re not corrupt, once Americans are getting good science and are allowed to make their own choices, they’re going to get a lot healthier,” he added.

Less than a week before Election Day, Kennedy told NewsNation Trump’s plans for him in his future cabinet.

“President Trump has asked me to reorganize the federal health agencies. The agencies that have a portfolio that affects human health, which is CDC, [National Institutes of Health], FDA, as well as some of the agencies within the United States Department of Agriculture,” Kennedy said.

Kennedy said he was asked by Trump to end corruption and conflicts of interest as well as “measurably reduce chronic disease in our children within two years.”

On Sunday, he remarked, “I want to be in the White House. And [Trump has] assured me that I’m going to have that.”

Kennedy stated that he had not yet decided whether he wants to head the United States Department of Health and Human Services.

“I want to be in the position where I’m most effective to end the chronic disease epidemic,” Kennedy continued. “And I’m confident that if I wanted to do HHS secretary, the president would fight like hell to make that happen.”

Last week, Vice President Kamala Harris slammed Kennedy as “someone who has routinely promoted junk science and crazy conspiracy theories.”

She called him the “exact last person in America who should be setting health care policy for America’s families and children.”

“Nobody deserves this more than him, and nobody deserves this more than his family does,” White stated.

“This is what happens when the machine comes after you! … Couldn’t stop him; he keeps going forward; he doesn’t quit. He’s the most resilient, hardworking man I’ve ever met in my life. His family are incredible people.”

“This is karma, ladies and gentlemen! He deserves this!” White roared, as the crowd cheered.

“No matter what they threw at the guy, he just kept going,” says Dave, echoing White’s words.

“They’re trying to arrest him; they’re taking away his business licenses; they’re trying to get him off the ballot; they’re shooting him. … He just kept going,” he praises. “He damn well deserves this.”

When Taylor Swift, America’s most notable “childless cat lady,” belted out “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” she was singing about one of her many exes.

But she might as well have been commenting on the state of American politics. The left and the right are like two people trapped in a toxic, spiteful relationship, each seething with contempt for the other. Is a national “breakup” inevitable?

This is where the left stands today: not only criticizing the other side but actually rejoicing in its suffering.

As this election makes especially clear, each side views the other as a threat to America’s future.

The left looks at the right and sees a stubborn, regressive faction clinging to an outdated vision of America — one that resists diversity, equity, and inclusion.

The right, meanwhile, sees the left as a dangerous, self-righteous force tearing down the foundations of the country in the name of progress.

While both liberals and conservatives face the temptation to villainize their opponents, these days, only one side seems to consider the other as irredeemably evil.

For all his allegedly “divisive” rhetoric, Donald Trump has repeatedly made it clear that he intends to work for all American citizens, regardless of race, color, or creed. It’s a big tent, and even his political “enemies” are welcome.

Consider Trump’s recent, much-misrepresented vow to protect women “whether the women like it or not.”

On the left, by contrast, public figures like Sam Harris and Destiny openly scorn conservatives, branding them as “low information” or low IQ — sneering as if they’re talking about a different species altogether.

To quote another Swift song, “You Need to Calm Down.”

Destiny’s Childish

Destiny, born Steven Kenneth Bonnell II, lives up to his pretentious name. But he’s not just pretentious; he’s downright repugnant.

Recently, he has become the left’s primary attack dog, embodying the worst kind of partisan contempt. This bitter, angry provocateur frequently pops up on “Piers Morgan Uncensored” and a number of popular podcasts, where he revels in his role as a divisive figure. On social media, meanwhile, he can be found posting the vilest of opinions.

Shortly after the first assassination attempt on Donald Trump, the tiny terror took to X to ridicule Corey Comperatore, a 50-year-old volunteer fire chief who lost his life at the rally. This wasn’t just a comment on political differences; it was a callous dismissal of another human being’s life, purely because he was on the “wrong” side.

This is where the left stands today: not only criticizing the other side but actually rejoicing in its suffering. Political opponents are seen as irredeemable, less than human, and unworthy of sympathy, even in death.

Figures like Destiny don’t just stir up disagreement; they stoke the flames of disgust and dehumanization that widen the divide in this country. Political leaders only make matters worse. Hillary Clinton’s infamous 2016 remark labeling Trump supporters as “deplorables” didn’t just alienate millions; it arguably cost her the election.

Fast forward eight years, and Joe Biden’s recent characterization of Trump supporters as “garbage” only served to emphasize the left’s utter contempt for half of America (more on this in a minute).

Ballots before bullets

Just a decade ago, the idea of Americans going to war against each other again seemed unthinkable, a relic of a brutal past. The Civil War was history — a reminder of the darkest days of division and bloodshed.

Yet today, that distant fear feels closer than ever. The idea of Americans clashing not just at the ballot box but on the battlefield no longer seems absurd. The seeds of hatred, distrust, and outright disdain have already been planted.

This brings us to the psychology of contempt. And the contempt is visceral.

To be clear, contempt is not mere anger; it runs much deeper. It’s loathing; it’s sheer hatred. According to psychologist Dr. John Gottman, contempt is the strongest predictor of lasting estrangement. It’s a malignant cancer — once it takes hold, the prognosis is almost always dire.

What can be done? In personal relationships, contempt can sometimes be eased through open communication, empathy, and a genuine effort to understand one another. But the divide between the left and right today is vastly different and far more complex. We’ve crossed a line — the Rubicon, if you will — and there’s really no turning back.

United we stood

The truth is that the only event likely to unite the nation for more than a fleeting moment would be a tragedy on the scale of September 11 — a catastrophic incident that compels all Americans to confront their shared humanity amid the chaos.

In the wake of those devastating attacks, Andrew Kohut from the Pew Research Center conducted a thorough analysis of public opinion, comparing sentiments expressed before and after that fateful day. His findings revealed that the attacks not only galvanized a sense of national identity but also altered the public’s perception of threats, trust in government, and overall political engagement. The United States of America was, at that moment in time, truly united.

But that was then, and this is now.

On second thought, I ask, would even a second September 11 be enough to unite the nation? That’s how fractured the country has become, and things are likely to get much worse before they get better. I take no pleasure in saying this, but we must confront this harsh reality if we ever hope to change the nation’s trajectory.

With each passing second, contempt deepens, and the possibility of uniting the nation slips further away.

Former President Barack Obama congratulated President-elect Donald Trump on his astounding electoral victory and blamed inflation for the devastating loss for Democrats.

Obama released the statement on Wednesday afternoon after Election Day about the time that Vice President Kamala Harris ended her concession speech at Howard University in Washington, D.C.

‘Progress requires us to extend good faith and grace – even to people with whom we deeply disagree.’

“[T]he results are in, and we want to congratulate President Trump and Senator Vance on their victory,” wrote Obama. “This is obviously not the outcome we had hoped for, given our profound disagreements with the Republican ticket on a whole host of issues. But living in a democracy is about recognizing that our point of view won’t always win out, and being willing to accept the peaceful transfer of power.”

While the vote tabulation is still ongoing, Trump appears to have increased his support among nearly every demographic and in every single state. Some have projected Republicans to have seized control of the U.S. Senate, and the fate of the House of Representatives remains to be determined.

Obama assigned the blame for his party’s devastating losses on the pandemic and the resultant inflation.

“Michelle and I could not be prouder of Vice President Harris and Governor Walz – two extraordinary public servants who ran a remarkable campaign,” Obama continued. “As I said on the campaign trail, America has been through a lot over the last few years – from a historic pandemic and price hikes resulting from the pandemic, to rapid change and the feeling a lot of folks have that, no matter how hard they work, treading water is the best they can do. Those conditions have created headwinds for democratic incumbents around the world, and last night showed that America is not immune.”

Polls showed that high inflation and the state of the economy were among the most important concerns for likely voters in the election.

“The good news is that these problems are solvable – but only if we listen to each other, and only if we abide by the core constitutional principles and democratic norms that made this country great. In a country as big and diverse as ours, we won’t always see eye-to-eye on everything. But progress requires us to extend good faith and grace – even to people with whom we deeply disagree,” Obama continued.

“That’s how we’ve come this far, and it’s how we’ll keep building a country that is more fair and more just, more equal and more free,” he concluded.

Harris said in her concession speech that she had congratulated Trump and his running mate JD Vance and had promised to help facilitate a peaceful transfer of power.

Last night was undoubtedly one of the most incredible nights in United States history.

As Kamala Harris’ so-called “blue wall” collapsed, and Donald Trump gained the lead in several key battleground states, Americans across the country sat glued to their televisions and refreshing their X feeds to see if we’d have endless war or affordable groceries.

Glenn Beck believes the outcome is nothing short of a miracle.

“We are truly living something that is going to be read about for a very, very long time,” Glenn tells the BlazeTV panel. “We’re sitting here, witnessing something, I think a miracle, is something that most Americans have never seen before.”

“Most Americans have not lived through a candidate being persecuted like Donald Trump has been, and then shot, and called Hitler for six years, and then wins an election,” he adds.

While Kamala has yet to concede, some Democrats who were extremely vocal against Donald Trump have congratulated him on the presidency, including Mark Cuban — who Trump had recently called a loser and a bad golfer.

“Congrats @realDonaldTrump. You won fair and square. Congrats to @elonmusk as well. #Godspeed,” Cuban wrote in a post on X after Pennsylvania was called for the former president.

“Mark Cuban, who just five minutes ago was telling us that all women who supported Trump or surrounded Trump were, you know, weak and stupid,” Sara Gonzales comments.

However, one of the most exciting social media posts belonged to Elon Musk, who moments after Trump’s victory posted, “You are the media now.”

“It’s true,” Glenn says in response. “They’ve eviscerated themselves.”

Robert Davi didn’t just bring Leonid Brezhnev to life in “Reagan,” this year’s eagerly awaited biopic of the 40th U.S. president. The veteran actor brought volumes of research to both the role and the set.

Davi, beloved for work in classics like “Die Hard,” “The Goonies,” and “Licence to Kill,” spent time in Russia speaking to citizens about the late Soviet Union leader.

In a business that routinely punishes conservative stars, the film’s producers bucked groupthink, casting not only Davi but talented actors such as Nick Searcy, Pat Boone, and Kevin Sorbo.

He dug deep into Brezhnev’s complicated legacy, learning of his bond with President Richard Nixon and affinity for fast cars.

Command performance

For Davi, “Reagan” deserved nothing less than his full commitment. It explains why he has endured as an actor whose career stretches back to 1977’s “Contract on Cherry Street” with Frank Sinatra.

“Reagan,” now available via digital on demand, finds Davi and co-stars fleshing out “The Gipper’s” remarkable life and political career. Some viewers, familiar with iconic Reagan moments like his “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall” speech, may not know how Reagan battled communism behind the scenes in Hollywood.

For Davi, the biggest takeaway may be how little has changed in America since the Reagan Revolution.

Back to the future

He said pop culture and the press loathed Reagan, much as they do President Donald Trump. In fact, the moment Trump descended the Trump Tower escalator to announce his candidacy, the actor connected the mogul’s populist message to that of vintage Reagan.

Davi also notes that both Reagan and Trump were badly underestimated by their opponents — until it was too late.

The actor wishes the film could have included even more of Reagan’s life and legacy. Notably, he would have loved to see Nancy Reagan (Penelope Ann Miller in the film) reacting to new President George H.W. Bush’s vow to build a “kinder, gentler nation” — a not-so-subtle dig at his former boss of eight years.

An ‘eye-opening’ biopic

Still, the movie packs plenty into the running time, including how Reagan reached across the aisle to get legislation done. His scenes with Congressmen Tip O’Neill (Dan Lauria) epitomize that attitude. It also explains the dawn of the Reagan Democrat.

That, and so much more featured in the film, will prove “eye-opening” to younger viewers, Davi predicted.

“The new generation needs to watch that to understand the difference between the extreme left and the conservative movement,” he said.

Davi’s “Reagan” contributions didn’t end with his Brezhnev performance. The versatile star also sings two tracks on the film: “This Town” and “Nancy (with the Laughing Face).” He studied music extensively earlier in his career and, in recent years, has brought the Sinatra catalog to vibrant life via “Davi Sings Sinatra.”

He also directed the charming 2007 film “The Dukes” along with the 2022 biopic “My Son Hunter,” which cast Laurence Fox as the embattled first son. The film stands in sharp contrast to how Hollywood either ignored or lionized Hunter Biden throughout his various scandals.

Davi’s conservative bona fides are no Hollywood secret. He continues to work, although often in independent features like this year’s “Bardejov.” That film recalled the true-life heroism of Rafuel Lowy, who saved hundreds of Jewish lives during the Holocaust.

Hollywood rebels

It’s no accident that Davi is not the only openly right-of-center actor in the “Reagan” cast. In a business that routinely punishes conservative stars, the film’s producers bucked groupthink, casting not only Davi but talented actors such as Nick Searcy, Pat Boone, and Kevin Sorbo.

Sorbo has said his unofficial Hollywood blacklisting began roughly a decade ago when his agent left him over his conservative beliefs. Oscar nominee James Woods hasn’t had a sizeable film role since his supporting turn in 2014’s “Jamesy Boy.”

Davi confirms the new blacklist is “worse than it was during the McCarthy era,” adding that communists did infiltrate the Hollywood community during the 1950s.

For his part, Davi won’t be cowed. He contributes thoughtful op-eds to Breitbart News and keeps creating art on his terms. He promises a new album to drop in 2025 in addition to a European tour. He’s close to starting work on a new film called “The Ministry” about a group tied to vigilante justice.

The ultimate irony? Hollywood continues to make movies about the blacklist era while stars are penalized for their political beliefs in 2024, he said. George Clooney will bring his “Goodnight, and Good Luck” film, recalling journalist Edward R. Murrow’s scraps with Sen. Joseph McCarthy, to Broadway starting in March.

“They want DEI except for thought. … People wanna talk about the ‘fascists’ in the MAGA movement,” Davi said with a laugh. “The fascists in the liberal left will denigrate you, dispel you.”

There are some Californians preparing to move out of the country because of fears of the 2024 election, according to a new report.

The election between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris has reportedly given some Americans so much anxiety that they want to move overseas.

‘They want an option to escape.’

The Los Angeles Times interviewed several global immigration experts who said Californians are planning to flee the United States because of the political “divisiveness in the country.”

Mykel Dicus of California said before the election that he would want to move out of the country if Trump won the election.

“If a regime like MAGA should win this election, I’m very scared,” the 54-year-old said. “I just feel like it’s time to enjoy a life that’s free from any American worry.”

Dicus said he toured Spain in September and is currently attempting to procure a specialized Spanish visa for remote workers. Dicus said he hopes to secure a digital nomad visa and move to Spain within the next three years.

Henley & Partners — the self-described “global leader in residence and citizenship by investment” — said the number of requests to move overseas has already exceeded last year.

The consultant company revealed that about 80% of their U.S. clients want to bolt out of the country because of political issues.

“They want an option to escape. Now with the election, people have opinions on both ends, and they’re worried,” said Basil Mohr Elzeki — who leads the North American operations for Henley & Partners.

Elzeki noted that most of his business has come from California residents.

He pointed out that some popular countries for Americans fleeing included Antigua and Barbuda, Portugal, Malta, Greece, and Spain.

Jen Barnett is the founder of Expatsi — a company that helps Americans find a new home abroad. Barnett told the Los Angeles Times that her website’s traffic skyrocketed by 900% after the first presidential debate between Trump and President Joe Biden.

Following Trump’s nomination as the Republican presidential candidate in the 2016 election, Jen and her husband, Brett Barnett, began searching for a new home overseas and eventually moved to Mexico earlier this year.

“Just that he could be nominated to me meant that something was irreparably broken, and it wasn’t something we could get back,” Jen told the Los Angeles Times.

According to the outlet, it is not just liberals looking to get out of the country because of political divisiveness.

“Anecdotally, I’ve heard more and more folks talking not just about a Trump administration, but about the divisiveness in the country,” said Amanda Klekowski von Koppenfels — a migration scholar at the University of Kent in Brussels.

Marco Permunian — the founder of Italian Citizenship Assistance — noted that there had been a surge of Americans searching for a home abroad grew in 2016 but that that surge had continued to rise during Biden’s first term.

“We came to the conclusion there is a sense of fear in general, and that affects people from both sides of the political spectrum,” Permunian said.

Patrick Murray — director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute — stated, “I’d be willing to bet that the partisan rancor of the past few years has played a significant role in the heightened desire to emigrate.”

Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris finally appeared in public and addressed her supporters after a devastating loss across the board for Democrats in the 2024 election.

The Harris campaign had stopped giving comments after it became clear that former President Donald Trump was heading toward a historic victory Tuesday night. Harris also refused to address supporters at a scheduled speech at Howard University, and the dejected crowd went home instead.

‘We must accept the results of this election.’

Harris came out Wednesday afternoon and gave her concession speech to a cheering but sad crowd.

“The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for. But the light of America’s promise will always burn bright,” she said.

The Democratic candidate’s voice cracked, and she choked up a few times through the speech.

“Do not despair. This is not a time to throw up your hands. It is a time to roll up our sleeves,” said Harris. “For the sake of freedom, justice, and the future we know we can build together.”

“We must accept the results of this election. Earlier today I spoke with president-elect Trump and congratulated him on his victory,” she continued. “I also told him we will help him and his team with their transition and that we will engage in a peaceful transfer of power.”

Some in the audience booed at the sound of Trump’s name but applauded for the transition of power.

NBC reported that Harris had not prepared a victory or a concession speech for the Election Day because the campaign believed the results would take longer to be tabulated.

Steven Cheung, the communications director of the Trump Campaign, confirmed the phone call in a brief statement.

“President Donald J. Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris spoke by phone earlier today where she congratulated him on his historic victory,” said Cheung. “President Trump acknowledged Vice President Harris on her strength, professionalism, and tenacity throughout the campaign, and both leaders agreed on the importance of unifying the country.”

MSNBC’s coverage of the Harris concession speech showed one woman in the audience crying while wearing a Taylor Swift cap.

As of Wednesday afternoon, Arizona’s final election results were still pending, yet two immigration and crime-related ballot measures had already secured resounding victories — propositions 313 and 314.

Prop 313 increases the penalties for convicted child sex traffickers, requiring a mandatory minimum life sentence without the possibility of parole or release.

‘Ignore the gaslighting.’

Currently, under Arizona law, those convicted of sex trafficking a child under 15 years old face a minimum of seven years in prison.

With only 59% of Arizona’s ballot tallied, the prop passed with more than 1.3 million votes, 63.7%.

Republican state Sen. Shawnna Bolick urged voters to support the measure and “send a powerful message: Arizona’s children are not for sale.”

“Every two minutes a child from the United States is trafficked for the sole purpose of human exploitation. According to the Arizona Attorney General’s Office, the average age of entry into sex trafficking is 14 years old. Traffickers steal our children as young as five years old to sell them into a life of misery and despair,” Bolick wrote. “Please join me in saving our most precious resource by being on the side of saving children.”

Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb and Senate candidate Kari Lake also called for voters to support the prop.

Arizonans also approved Prop 314, which empowers state and local law enforcement to arrest illegal immigrants entering in between ports of entry. Furthermore, this measure allows state judges to issue deportation orders.

Additionally, the measure makes it a low-level felony to provide false information or documents for employment or public benefits. It also elevates the sale of fentanyl to a class 2 felony when such sales lead to a fatality.

Prop 314 is modeled after Texas’ Senate Bill 4, which is currently tied up in the courts. Arizona’s law will become active only if and when Texas’ bill is declared constitutional by the Supreme Court.

Again, with Arizona’s reporting only roughly halfway complete, the measure received more than 1.3 million votes, 62.8%.

Arizona state Sen. John Kavanagh, a co-sponsor of the prop, said, “We need Prop 314. The border is in chaos.”

Brook Doty, chairman of the LD17 Republicans, urged voters to pass Prop 314.

“Ignore the gaslighting and vote yes,” Doty declared. “Until the federal government decides to prioritize Americans over the needs of the rest of the world, Arizona must shoulder this burden to protect its own citizens.”

Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin defeated Republican challenger Mike Rogers Wednesday in the race to replace retiring Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow.

Slotkin secured her electoral victory by 48.6%, while Rogers pulled in 48.3%, according to Politico. Although Democrats have held onto the contested Michigan Senate seat, Republicans have managed to flip seats in Montana, West Virginia, and Ohio, securing the GOP’s majority.

Democrats have dominated the Michigan Senate seats for decades, but Rogers was able to narrow Slotkin’s nearly six-point polling advantage from August to just a 0.3 point margin on Election Day.

The Michigan Senate seat was one of four races rated “toss-ups” by Cook Political Report going into Election Day, alongside Pennsylvania, Ohio and Wisconsin.

Republican operative Scott Jennings gets it.

After Donald Trump won the presidency, Jennings told a CNN panel that Trump’s decisive victory is not only a mandate for the “Make America Great Again” agenda, but it’s a stinging indictment of the legacy media and “political information complex.”

‘I’m interpreting the results tonight as the revenge of just the regular old working-class American.’

“We’ve been sitting around here for the last couple of weeks, and the story that was portrayed was not true,” Jennings observed.

“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,” he continued. “Night after night after night, we were told all these things and gimmicks were going to somehow push Harris over the line. And we were just ignoring the fundamentals: inflation, people feeling like they were barely able to tread water at best. That was the fundamentals of the election.”

The prescription for a broken media ecosystem, Jennings suggested, is humble pie.

“For all of us who … 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,'” Jennings explained.

— (@)

Importantly, Jennings tried to help his fellow CNN panelists, who sat in silence, understand why Trump won and Kamala Harris lost.

“I’m interpreting the results tonight as the revenge of just the regular old working-class American, the anonymous American who has been crushed, insulted, condescended to,” he said.

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

Unfortunately, Jennings’ colleagues were not listening.

Despite his pleas for them to understand, Van Jones and David Axelrod responded to him by arguing there is legitimacy to claims that Trump is an authoritarian and a fascist.

Clearly, a plurality of Americans disagree.

The Department of Justice has moved to end the legal cases brought against President-elect Donald Trump following his victory on Wednesday.

The DOJ reportedly cannot prosecute a sitting president, requiring the agency to disband any ongoing legal cases against Trump before Inauguration Day. Special counsel Jack Smith is expected to be “gone from his post” before Inauguration Day, meaning the cases will be dropped before January 20.

‘I call on Attorney General Garland, Alvin Bragg, and Fani Willis to immediately terminate the politically-motivated prosecutions of President Donald Trump.’

Trump’s electoral victory was announced early Wednesday morning after he successfully won North Carolina and flipped Georgia and Pennsylvania. As of this writing, Trump has also flipped Wisconsin and Michigan. Following his victory, prominent Republican voices have called for an end to the lawfare.

In the aftermath of his historic victory, several Republicans called for Trump’s criminal cases to be dismissed, arguing that the “American people have spoken.”

“The American people have rendered their verdict on President Trump and decisively chosen him to lead the country for the next four years,” former Attorney General Bill Barr said in the aftermath of the election. “They did that with full knowledge of the claims against him by prosecutors around the country, and I think Attorney General Garland and the state prosecutors should respect the people’s decision and dismiss the cases against President Trump now.”

Trump also received bids of support from members of Republican leadership.

“The American people have spoken: the lawfare must end,” House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said in a post on X following Trump’s victory. “I call on Attorney General Garland, Alvin Bragg, and Fani Willis to immediately terminate the politically-motivated prosecutions of President Donald Trump.”

In the past few years, Trump has been the subject of an onslaught of legal battles. Most recently, Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts in New York and is scheduled to be sentenced on November 26.

Greatness was achieved last night in the form of Donald Trump’s historical comeback to regain the Oval Office after being persecuted relentlessly by the left.

Trump’s re-election echoes other times in American history when our nation could be characterized as truly great.

Jason Whitlock reflects fondly on the past as he celebrates a Trump victory.

“When Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant — tell me America wasn’t great on that day,” says Whitlock, referencing the agreement that would end slavery that took place on April 9, 1865, at Appomattox Court House in Virginia.

“We needed to end slavery. It was an abomination that needed to be ended, and it was. Great day,” he adds.

Another great time in American history is dedicated to the Wright brothers, who invented the airplane.

“America used to be the birthplace of all this innovation. You tell me America wasn’t great when men were out creating and doing things that have benefited the rest of society?” he asks rhetorically.

And while he knows he’ll catch some flak for this one, Whitlock knows that America was also great when “black people were not obsessed with living in proximity to white people.”

“There was a time when black people weren’t sitting around going, ‘Oh my God, I’m gonna make it to heaven as soon as I move into a white neighborhood; oh, all of my prayers will be answered as soon as I get to go to an all-white school.’ There was a time when that was not the priority of black people. That was a great time,” says Whitlock, adding, “That’s not me calling for segregation; that’s me calling for a return to sanity.”

“You know what the priority was then in the 1920s, ’30s, ’40s, and ’50s for black people and for Americans?” he asks.

“Family. That was a great time. Your survival, your success in life was predicated on building a great family, sustaining a family, developing and nurturing your children. That was the priority, and that was a great time.”

Pope Francis left readers confused after a social media post accidentally generated support for the New Orleans Saints football team.

The leader of the Catholic church, Pope Francis (born Jorge Mario Bergoglio), issued a thoughtful message through his social media platforms about why saints are an illustration of the good in humanity.

“The #Saints are precious pearls and are always living and relevant because they provide a fascinating commentary on the Gospel,” the pope’s post began.

The pope’s message continued, “Their lives are an illustration of the Good News that Jesus brought to humanity: God is our Father, who loves everyone with boundless love.”

However, little did the pope know that his use of the hashtag “#Saints” on X would produce the NFL team’s logo, the fleur-de-lis.

Fans quickly jumped on the harmless error and connected it to the Saints’ recent firing of Coach Dennis Allen.

“Even the Pope is excited we fired Dennis Allen,” a fan quickly replied.

“Losing to the Panthers was so bad that they had to call up the Pope,” another fan wrote.

A third fan excitedly suggested that the pope’s blessing “might turn their season around.”

The Saints themselves weren’t going to let this opportunity go to waste. They soon shared the post and offered their thanks.

“Thank you for your prayers, Pontiff. We need them,” the Saints’ X post said.

Attached was a photo of Gayle Benson, owner of the football team, gifting Pope Francis his own Saints jersey that read “Papa Francesco” on the back.

Benson presented the jersey to the pope earlier in 2024 during a trip to Italy and Germany. The owner was meeting with Italian leaders in economic development and tourism to promote business opportunities in New Orleans and Louisiana as a whole.

The Saints are just 2-7 in 2024, sit dead last in the NFC, and are tied for last overall in the NFL.

Their season will not get any easier when they play the Atlanta Falcons Sunday, November 10; the Falcons lead their division with a 6-3 record.

Kamala Harris
tried pandering to American Christians in the final stretch before Election Day, likely hoping they had forgotten about her suggestion that traditional pro-life Catholics cannot sit as American judges; her threats to religious liberty; her efforts to compel religious institutions to compromise their beliefs and accept both abortion and gender ideology; her efforts to legally crush pro-life activists; and her recent suggestion to a pair of Christian college students who yelled “Jesus is Lord” at a campaign event that they were “at the wrong rally.”

The Democratic vice president’s efforts were in vain.

American Christians overwhelmingly rejected Harris —
dubbed the most “anti-faith” candidate in American history Friday by Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts — in Tuesday’s election, which was consecrated to the Virgin Mary in advance by an exorcist.

According to CNN exit polls, 62% of respondents who identified as Protestant or “other Christian” and 56% of respondents who identified as Catholics ultimately voted to make President Donald Trump the 47th president. NBC’s exit polls affirmed that Trump’s support among both Christian groups was in the neighborhood, showing two percentage points higher on both counts.

Some of those Christians, overjoyed by Trump’s landslide victory and its greater significance, broke into song at the Republican’s victory party at Florida’s West Palm Beach County Convention Center early Wednesday morning. The titular host of “The Truth with Lisa Boothe” captured the crowd’s apparently spontaneous rendition of “How Great Thou Art” on camera.

Boothe told Blaze News that as the victory party was wrapping up and she was about make her departure, “All of a sudden, I just hear singing. I don’t know who started it, but it seemed very spontaneous. People started singing and then more people started joining in.”

‘We really are one nation under God.’

Soon, more Trump supporters joined the impromptu 3 a.m. chorale, at which point Boothe began recording.

“It was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen,” said Boothe. “It brought me to tears and tugged on my heart.”

“I think what was so beautiful about it is that you have all these people who have been so disparaged by the media, who have been maligned, who have been demeaned, who have been called all these terrible things — ‘garbage,’ ‘fascists,’ ‘Nazis,’ ‘irredeemable,’ ‘basket of deplorables,'” continued Boothe. “You have people of all walks of life, all races, all backgrounds, coming together to celebrate Jesus Christ and to celebrate this course correction as a country.”

‘You see nothing but humble joy.’

The moving moment impressed upon Boothe that “we really are one nation under God, and we are more united than divided.”

Boothe reflected on how Americans have been treated during the Biden-Harris years:

During COVID, you weren’t allowed to go to church in some parts of the country. People’s businesses were shut down. You know, people were forced to get … experimental vaccines that they didn’t need or want. And you had the heavy hand of government come down on pro-life Catholics who peacefully protested outside of abortion clinics, who just wanted to direct women in another direction or at least make them think about the decision they were about to make.

Boothe indicated that after such a dark period in American history, the hymn Wednesday was not just a Christ-directed sigh of relief but a sign of hope, renewal, and unity.

Boothe’s video went viral, prompting some commentators online to note the hymn’s significance to them and others to marvel at the genuine joy exuded by those long denigrated by Democrats.

BlazeTV’s Liz Wheeler
tweeted, “I’m sobbing. God is so merciful. And my goodness these are the people who have been called garbage & Nazis and yet you see nothing but humble joy.”

One user on X
noted that the video left her in tears as “How Great Thou Art” was her late mother’s favorite song: “She’s so happy in heaven right now watching us get back on the right path!”

BlazeTV’s Sara Gonzales
wrote, “This is absolutely beautiful.”

“What an experience,”
wrote Fr. Calvin Robinson. “God be with you all.”

Fr. Robinson
added, “How Great Thou Art was an anthem of Billy Graham’s Crusades. Let it become an anthem in President Trump’s Crusade to Make America Great Again. Make The West Christendom Again.”
