Apparently,
Donald Trump’s winning the landslide election both in the Electoral
College and the popular vote has ignited positive responses not only
here at home, but also around the world. Ninety-nine percent of the
polls predicted razor-thin results through election day itself. The
“seven swing states” looked particularly difficult to call until we
learned Trump had won them all.
The media and the pollsters
couldn’t see the end results at least in part because they didn’t
believe Trump could win. After all, VP Kamala Harris had been gifted one
billion dollars to win. The legacy media promoted Harris so doggedly
that after the election roundtables of talking heads praised Harris’
campaign as flawless, possibly the best in history! Seriously! The
belief that Harris could not possibly lose, and even more that Tump
could not win enough votes to come close absolutely blinded the greatest
minds America has ever produced. These are the elite! They can’t be
wrong.
Think about the past four years. The legacy media and the
Biden administration touted the withdrawal from Afghanistan as one of
the most successful military operations in history. The southern border
is closed and it is secured. If you take the vaccine you will not
contract COVID-19. Ok, if you take the vaccine, you cannot give the
virus to others. If you wear the mask you won’t get COVID-19 or transmit
it to anyone else. If you maintain a six-foot distance from others and
wash your hands you won’t get or spread the virus.
Inflation is
transitory. Hunter’s laptop appears to be Russian disinformation
according to 51 federal law enforcement and intelligence authorities.
President Biden is at the top of his game. He’s running circles around
younger staff members. “The Big Guy” was never involved in any of
Hunter’s businesses. We don’t know who left the cocaine in the White
House.
When political partisans make bold denials and the legacy
media mindlessly repeat their claims, dig down deep to your core values
and beliefs. Trump voters did not believe the partisans, the media, or
million dollar celebrities who don’t fill their own gas tanks or buy
their own food.

Those 2016 election night videos on YouTube were starting to wear thin. Now I’ve got a whole new trainload of videos in which I can gleefully watch leftist heads explode. Life, it’s getting better in my neighborhood.
Once again you are beginning to see MAGA hats on the streets of New York City. Imagine that.
@5:41pm - If "owning the libs" brings you joy, you truly lead a sad, sad life.
This guy is dumber than a bag of hammers.
Nearly 700000 Mississippians receive Social Security. In 25% of those households , it's 90% of their income. That doesn't include those receiving SSI...all of whom pretend they are not on welfare. That money is spent on retail items and groceries and services that will all take a hit.
That we are no longer entirely dependent on federal dollars only is about the federal money we did receive especially for infrastructure.
If the tariffs that were to expire are renewed and expanded and worse, that more countries engage in " pay back" because they can, this will not be good.
There were those who warned of the dangers of "global economics" but we can't quickly reopen steel mills left to rot or start making our parts for our electronics and autos.
It'd be great if we can become totally self-sufficient BUT we will be weak doing it" willy nilly" all at once and our enemies are rejoicing. They already love that our military will be taken over by those who have zero strategic or command knowledge. My family had many highly decorated war heroes, all of whom would tell you they were no Eisenhower or Patton and that the problem with our " modern wars" is that our generals weren't working with nations who had similar military training and experience or with citizen soldiers who felt they had a stake in their country not in a military career.
I know we expect instant gratification and quick results but that's really the attitude of spoiled brats and THAT'S how the world now sees us!
While Mississippi's dependence on Fed money is down from 44% to 25%, those infrastructure projects made that possible.
@9:27 it isnt just “owning the libs” it is being reminded that you are a super minorirty in you backward beliefs. You all live in your tiny hug-box enclaves on the coast and boost your supposed numbers with massive voter fraud. Meanwhile the election map of this nation was painted bright MAGA RED!
This is what actually happened. The democrats looked at how much ballot stuffing it took to steal the election from Donald Trump in 2020 and just added a few more million phoney ballots. It simply wasn’t enough.
The reality is that like Biden in 2020, Kamala likely only legitimately received about 30-40 million votes. The rest were all fraudelent mail-in ballots brought in with suitcases and coolers by democrat ballot counters, and illegals fraudelently voting with dead democrats’ voter registration.
In 2016, 2020, and 2024, Donald Trump received more legitmate votes than any one else in history.
The left cant win without fraud. They are a small collection of minorities.
The cognitive dissidence and pure made up bullshit by the poorly educated here is just baffling. This state, and this country, are doomed.
I am really curious how Tim Apple, Mark Zuck, and Bezos all knew Trump was going to win? They definately knew and were bending the knee. I wonder if it is all the surveillence tech they have access to? I wonder if Bezos somehowknew how MAGA hats were the #1 selling ballcap on Amazon. I wonder if Bezos knew how man copies of Art of the Deal and Hillbilly Eligy that were sold on Amazon and streamed on Audible.
finally, I wonder if they remember the positive global response to Rich Men North Of Richmond?
You lost. And we are going to clean house. Even Jackson is getting a house cleaning. MAGA means making sure that the left is contained in their little left coast enclaves. I suggest you pack up and move move to one if the ignorance is too much for you. Please take some of your democrat pets from Jackghanistan with you.
Sorry but if your fancy-ass book learning is why you believe a creepy guy in a pink wig and a anime costume should legally be allowed in the restroom with my 9 year old daughter, then I will stay ignorant 4 life. That shit plus the flood of illegals is why your kind lost. Do better.
@2:25pm - As opposed to the pastors, clergy, coaches, teachers, law enforcement, etc. that will also rape your kid. Evil people are going to do evil shit, laws be damned. Trump nor Fox News are going to save you and your kid from that, that's up to you. At least you can see the trans coming and do something about it. But big ole boogeyman got yall scared for your trump jesus and guns you think will save you. Good luck with that.
Trump took a good economy in 2017. He grew it slower as far as jobs and GDP in his first three years compared to Obama's last 3 years. His mismanagement of COVID then crashed the economy.
He is taking over an economy with low unemployments, inflation in the 2.5% range, and a record stock market. Real wages have grown over the past 18 months.
My bet is that he wrecks the economy again. The economy grows under Democrats and crashes under Republicans as proven over the last 40 years.
The one surety is that the deficit will rise faster under him than under Biden.
You made all of those statements with no links to support them. I don't believe you.
@756, it took me 3 minutes to google. I am sorry fox news has rotted your brain.

It took you 3 minutes? Why didn't you link to start with? Never mind, that's what I expect from your kind. By the way, I don't watch Fox News, or any of the other propaganda outlets.
ALL stock market gains of the last 2 democratic presidential administrations were because of massive government spending. Government spending is no economic growth.
