On November 5, 2024, a gigantic red wave engulfed America, elevating everything politically red to great heights and largely obliterating everything politically blue in its path.
It’s been only a week since the presidential election, but let’s ask the following questions anyway:
WHAT DID RED GAIN?
- The White House — Oval Office.
- The U.S. Senate.
- The U.S. House of Representatives.
- The Electoral College.
- The popular vote.
- All seven swing states.
- State governor majority.
- State Legislature majority.
- The stock market hit record highs.
- Trump and Elon Musk told Zelenskyy that the war is over, to prepare for negotiations, no additional funds or weapons will be sent to Ukraine.
- Hamas called for an immediate end to the war.
- Trump Gave Hamas until Inauguration Day to return the hostages.
- The Houthis surrendered just hours after Trump won the Presidency.
- The EU said it will buy its oil from America not Russia.
- Qatar told all Hamas officials in the country to leave immediately.
- Iran’s currency crashed.
Additionally:
The Fed cut interest rates a quarter of a point after Trump’s election victory.
China’s President Xi Jinping congratulated Donald Trump on his U.S. presidential win and urged both nations to find the “right way to get along,” as looming U.S. tariffs threatened to return, as they did years ago.
Following Trump’s victory, NYC’s mayor announced he’s ending food vouchers for illegals.
And let me not omit that even before he takes the oath on January 20, 2025, President Trump is already supporting the military that he loves and respects — a great thing, given the 249th anniversary of the U.S. Marine Corps.
WHAT DID BLUE GAIN?
The blue gains were all acquired before November 5, 2024, with Democrats — speaking in one voice — saying that their goal was to defeat Donald Trump in order to “save Democracy.”
To the eternal condemnation of the teachers’ unions in our country, all of these Democrats — no doubt “educated” in America’s leftist school systems — were ignorant of the fact that we do not live in a democracy. We live in a republic. Republics are run on law and order.
Democracies, on the other hand, are run by mob rule. That is why, during the two-plus years of the thugs and criminals from Antifa and Black Lives Matter rampaging through our country, smashing windows, lighting cars on fire, destroying businesses, putting dozens of people into intensive care units, and racking up a death toll into the dozens, there was not a word of condemnation from any Democrat.
And when countless thieves, rapists, even murderers were caught and brought to police precincts, they walked! No charges, no bail, no indictments. No condemnation from any Democrat.
Why? Because the democracy they were so interested in saving was run by, yep, mob rule! In fact, it was revealed by Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit that just the other day, the mob-rule Biden-Harris regime met with Pentagon brass to discuss and plan how to override President Trump’s 47 orders.
“This smells like treason,” Hoft wrote, while citing a CNN report that stated, “The military-industrial complex is infuriated that the first president in 40 years who did not start a war while in office has returned to power.”
DECONTAMINATION
Lucky Americans! In addition to the aforementioned RED gains, every American benefits from the decontamination process that President Trump’s election brought about.
Hallelujah! We no longer have to abide the leftist drivel doled out, in all their conceit — this is the very short list — by the likes of Robert De Niro, Laurene Powell Jobs, the vile View harridans, Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen, George Clooney and his wench, John Legend, Mark Ruffalo, Julia Roberts, Barbra Streisand, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Bette Midler, who said she wanted to drink Drano because Trump won.
Good luck to them all as they hopefully fulfill their promises to leave America.
Elle Purnell, editor at The Federalist, writes that “Kamala Harris is only the second-biggest loser of the night. Her media shills are nursing wounds that will take far longer to recover from.”
She revealed that a TV executive anonymously fretted that “a Trump victory means mainstream media is dead in its current form.”
And Victor Davis Hanson writes that with the exceptions of AltasIntel, Trafalgar, and Rasmussen, the pollsters are losers as well.
In other words, lots of leftist losers, including those in the highest echelons of government, who tried for eight long years to take down President Trump, including with a bullet, had utterly, spectacularly, thunderously failed.
BUT THE HATE PERSISTS
The Democrat party, as the entire world has seen and heard over the last four years, is fueled by anger and hate. Democrats’ specialty seems to be gratuitous insults, nonstop invective, sneering condescension, and the full embrace and support of purveyors of hatred. This, again, is the short list:
The Iranian mullahs and their lust for nuclear weapons to wipe Israel off the map and kill every Jew in the world. This goal is in their charter.
The defund-the-police anarchists.
The virulently anti-Semitic “squad” of elected officials.
The often violent criminals who, leftists now fantasize, are victims. Oh, boo-hoo…their mothers didn’t breastfeed them; their fathers didn’t tuck them in.
Now, according to media reports, these sore losers are threatening to break more laws to protest the victory of the colossus they could not defeat after eight years of crashingly failed attempts.
Get ready, America, for more Democrat temper tantrums, more street demonstrations and rampant destruction (with no arrests), more attempts by both elected Democrats and RINOs to sabotage President-Elect Trump at every turn — including, as General Michael Flynn, Mr. Trump’s onetime national security adviser, predicted, another assassination attempt on the president-elect’s life.
My prediction: Since President-Elect Trump is still the smartest guy in the room, he will not only prevail over these lilliputian adversaries, but one day end up on Mount Rushmore!

I read an article (here?), recently, which translated the Democrat’s frequently used accusation that Trump is a threat to “democracy”. What this really means is that Trump is a threat to their “bureaucracy”, aka, the deep state. Sometimes even a little light can illuminate everything. If you go back and make that substitution in all of the Democrat’s rhetoric, it all becomes clear.
@John Galt IV
I hope your take is correct regarding Musk’s meeting with Iran.
I’d like to see Ronald Reagan on Mt. Rushmore too.
somewhere I read the other day, that if Trumps economic policy’s get full implementation it will create a new Golden age for our Economy and for the worlds. – I could die peacefully with that, for my grandkid’s sake. On the above Rushmore prediction: I in 2017 took 3 of the grandkids to Mt. Rushmore, while we were looking at the mountain, my youngest grandson asks why there was an empty space on the end, who was that for. Without batting an eye, I said that is where President Trump is going to go. Several people standing around just looked at me like I was some crazy old man. Anyway, it will happen, but I want be here to see it.
Brilliant tome!
Please my post didn’t go through
Yes a “deal” is always possible but
Acknowledge that Russia is a very proud nation with a very proud history, a varied history, and the country that bred a Lenin and a Lev Davidovic together almost. The first and still only successful socialist revolution
What is Ukraine and what are Ukrainians? So far from 1918 when Lenin granted them a PRESENT of self government until the very present they have been scum of the earth. Yes the originator of the Pogrom on a massive scale moving uninterrupted into The Holocaust
The visible theatrical touch of this continuous factor in history was when Zelensky met Boris Johnson to perform a jig together in front of THEIR Rada in deep insult to the Russian nation
Piece the historical moments of Ukraine together and you will soon see that Trump has to come right out and make a huge break with the Dems, and Neocons and finally the Brits
Personally I don’t think he can do it.
History needs to be grasped and it is not.
In all the expressions of satisfaction of the results in the election, one consideration seems to be missing. We should remember that Trump has not been inaugurated yet. People have mentioned the possibility of another assassination attempt. I’m not, however, thinking of that. Rather, I am thinking of what decision Judge Merchan in New York will make in the case where a corrupt jury found Trump guilty. Should the Judge impose a term of imprisonment — as he could very well do– what happens then? Any guesses?
Laura,
“Elon Musk met with the Iranian UN ambassador. This is highly troubling.”
That’s what I originally thought, but here is another idea.
Elon Musk to Iran’s ambassador:
“You have two choices. My boss, Mr. Trump wants peace in the Middle East.
Option #1 – President Trump is willing to help Iran financially and economically and Iran really needs help. It’s per capita GDP is the same as Mongolia and Egypt @ $4,000 per capita. Israel is at $55,000 per capita. Mr. Trump wants to make Iran like Israel, economically. This will happen if you want it and come to the peace table.
Option #2 – If you don’t come to the peace table, President Trump will unleash Israel to destroy your nuclear weapons, your military and your economy, and make sure your per capita income reaches around $0.00.”
“Ever watch the movies The Godfather? No? Well, in the movie the Mafia Don is known to have said: “I am making you an offer you can’t refuse.” It’s the same here. Prosperity or utter destruction. Let us know what you decide. Oh, you have until March 1, 2025. Here’s my cell phone number.”
Trump has not made an absolute promise not to send any more aid to Ukraine. On the contrary, what he has said is that he will hold serious discussions with both Zelensky and Putin, get a sense as to which of them, or both, is serious about wanting peace and being willing to accept Trump’s own peace plan. Or at least accept it as a starting point for negotiations. He pointedly did not exclude the possibility that his administration would resume military aid to Ukraine if it became apparent that Russia was not serious about making peace and was instead resolved to continue the war regardless of it cost to Russia and the world.
There’s also this:
