Before I say anything else, please join me in giving thanks to God for blessing America, and giving us one more chance to return to our founding principles of respecting religious liberty, free speech, respect for life and the protection of innocent children.

Don’t expect any long, well-organized essays today, as my writers and I have been up all night following the election returns and need to get some rest. Today’s edition will be mostly bullet points and celebrations. And in the spirit of unity and good sportsmanship, let me say that I sincerely hope someone hid the Drain-o from Bette Midler.

Tuesday, Donald Trump made the greatest political comeback in American history, overcoming years of lawfare and vilification to become only the second person ever elected to non-consecutive Presidential terms (I’m waiting for Rachel Maddow to accuse him of plagiarizing Grover Cleveland.)

At this writing, the news networks have him at 277 Electoral College votes, but despite their stubborn refusal to call the rest of the states, he’s on track to carry all but Maine. Even the New York Times predicts that he’ll eventually win by a 312-226 landslide. He’s even on track to win the popular vote by about five million votes, which is astounding for a Republican. I wonder if all those blue states that hate the Electoral College and want to give their EC votes to the popular vote winner will give them to Trump? Or will that issue suddenly go away?  

It proves what I’ve been telling you for the past few months: If our side just ignores the polls and votes, we determine who runs the government, not a bunch of condescending leftist elites. We all just have to show up at the polls and we win.

The media also show the GOP retaking the Senate with at least 51 seats, which seems sure to rise to 55 or more. There was some concern that the Democrats might have won the House, setting us up for at least two years of obstruction and groundless impeachment hearings, but as of now, it appears that the GOP will narrowly hold on to control both Houses of Congress and the White House.

Trump mowed down any number of precedents, earning far greater shares of votes from typically Democratic voting blocs than any Republican in decades, including voters under 30, blacks, young males and especially Hispanic males. For instance, Trump was the first Republican in 30 years to win heavily-Hispanic Miami-Dade County in Florida, and by 55%.

It was truly the “red wave” we failed to see in 2022. Maybe young voters just hadn’t yet figured out how badly they were getting hosed under Biden-Harris, but now, they get it. One of my favorite moments of the coverage came when an analyst on one of the liberal networks cut to a map of all the counties in the US where Harris did better than Biden – and there were none!

My favorite reality-denying headline came from CNN.com: “Trump’s edge over Harris rises to 270.” Uh, guys? 270 isn’t an “edge,” it’s the presidency.

Trump gave an excellent, unifying victory speech, surrounded by his family who were among the strongest members of his campaign team. Here’s video of it and a transcript:

He called MAGA “the greatest political movement of all time,” and said he believes what many have told him: that God spared his life for a reason. He went on:

“I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected your 47th president and your 45th president. And every citizen, I will fight for you, for your family and your future, every single day I will be fighting for you with every breath in my body, I will not rest until we have delivered the strong, safe and prosperous America that our children deserve and that you deserve. This will truly be the golden age of America, that's what we have to have.”

Strangely, he said nothing about setting up concentration camps for MSNBC anchors or any of the other things we were told he’d do as soon as he declared himself dictator for life. You know, all the stuff he forgot to do in his first term.

New York Times “Pulitzer Prize-winning economist” Paul Krugman will also be shocked to see how Wall Street is reacting to Trump’s election:

Let’s also give J.D. Vance credit for killing the Dems' momentum by destroying Tim Walz in the VP debate and being one of the best VP picks we’ve seen in decades. As for Walz, at least he’ll now have plenty of spare time to learn how to load a shotgun.
