You would think that two weeks after Trump’s election and a full two months before his swearing in the left would have calmed down a bit.

You’d be wrong:

Calls for Morning Joe to be boycotted have come from Jen Rubin and Joe and Mika have been attacked by the left for daring to even speak to Trump

Of course if you don’t have all that many viewers will anyone notice if they leave?

And as Comcast is dumping the whole network will anyone care?

Rob Reiner is being attack on Bluesky for apparently not being loyal enough to the left reich.

Rob bleeping Reiner isn’t left enough for the left anymore.!

Did nobody teach these lefties that Robespierre was eventually killed by the mobs of the state that he led?

Piers Morgan had a boatload of leftists on his show to talk about the Trump win.

There is an interesting exchange between Cenk Uygur & Allan “My method assures me Kamala will win” Lichtman that’s getting a lot of views.

Lichtman is also leaving X doesn’t want to interact with those who disagree anymore I guess

They’re eventually going to run out of their own allies to eat but not yet.

Of course the best sign of the left falling apart are people with something to lose both running away from their agenda.

Disney has reportedly decided to shelve an episode of the children’s cartoon series Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, apparently over its plot concerning a transgender high school athlete.

And keeping their stars in line:

Just when maybe Disney thought they’d gotten a handle on their difficult production and its even more difficult star, Zegler went on a rant last week, wishing harm on Donald Trump supporters. “There is a deep sickness in this country,” she wrote on Instagram. “May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace.”

Then she quickly changed her tune again — likely after some stern words from Disney — claiming, “I would like to sincerely apologize for the election post I shared on my Instagram last week.”

“I let my emotions get the best of me,” she continued. “Hatred and anger have caused us to move further away from peace and understanding, and I am sorry I contributed to the negative discourse.”

When there is money at stake things change.

But the really funny thing of the week was this from the view after going after the Matt Gaetz nomination and Gaetz personally having to put out a disclaimer live on TV.

RedState nails it:

What’s so great about this is just how much Hostin clearly didn’t want to read it. Watch her facial expressions, which are not subtle in the slightest, and then listen to her struggle to make it through.

Never has a show host wanted to rip the heart out of their producer more than Hostin in that moment. Just before she starts reading the statement, she has some kind of spasm. From there, you can tell she’s doing everything she can to hold it together. Hostin did not want to offer that correction, but even overpaid elites have to play by the rules of the legal system. Well, at least sometimes.

Remember Trump won’t be President for another two months and no votes are going to take place on any of those guys before then. Everything you’re hearing now is just noise.

Five Cautionary Victory/Defeat Thoughts Under the Fedora: Battles and Wars, The Albert Sydney Johnson left, The Self Harming Left, The Lib Boat and The Election in one video and one repeated slogan

For over a thousand years, Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of a triumph – a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeters and musicians and strange animals from the conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments. The conqueror rode in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his children, robed in white, stood with him in the chariot, or rode the trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror, holding a golden crown, and whispering in his ear a warning: that all glory is fleeting.

Patton 1970

While I like a good party as much as the next guy let me point out that Kurt Schlichter is exactly right:

Life is good today; tomorrow, we fight again. 

Anyone who thinks the deep state is going to go quietly hasn’t paid attention. They are going to fight tooth and nail every chance they get.

And all they need to win is for us to get sloppy and lose our vigilance. It’s like cyber security, your system security is only as strong as the most careless person on your team.

I’m reminded of Albert Sydney Johnson the highest ranking General of the confederacy who was killed at Shiloh. Johnson was outnumbered and outgunned on every front that the Union forces could invade in so he planted stories in newspapers not only highly exaggerating his strength but arranged “leaks” about possible offensives that he was about to launch.

While he was successful in deceiving the northern forces thus buying him some time he also deceived his own side to the point where general P.T Beauregard arrived on the scene he was shocked and flabbergasted to find that the situation was actually very dire.

That’s basically what was discussed when a big Democrat fundraiser appeared on Fox and told them how she had raised millions from other big donors based on the promises and assurances of the Harris campaign that turned out to be empty.

People don’t like getting played and burned.

The insane and in at last one case horrific responses we are seeing from the left comes from two primary sources:

  1. People believing lies being told directly to their face by the media trying to obtain a particular result (Think the entire “Biden is sharp as a whip business) which can only hold up until reality kicks in
  2. People letting politics become their religion and thus being scandalized when anything, including reality, contradicts their faith.

Neither of these things are healthy and the idea that there are women who are literally getting their tubes tied over the Trump victory, while likely healthy for the gene poll is not very good for the people doing them.

Pray for them all, they need it.

There are a lot of reports that celebs made a fortune off of the Kamala campaign getting big paydays for showing up.

I don’t mind this very much because basically that’s what celebs do, they make their money off of people who want to be seen near or with them, after all why do you think Patrick Mahomes does all those State Farm commercials? Because he likes their coverage?

Expect a lot more grifts making a lot more money from idiots either panicked or self righteous. My favorite is this one:

At least one wag is calling it the “Lib boat” and another notes that as the very rich was one of the few groups that she improved her numbers with it’s a perfect move.

There are a lot of things that shock me about the reaction to this election. One of them is a refrain that I’m hearing repeatedly that Kamala ran an “excellent” or a “flawless” campaign.

Now I’m a sports guy and I’ve seen a lot of blowouts over the years and watched a lot of analysists talk about such games the next day or during the week if it’s football. I’ve never once heard said analysists describe the team on the wrong side of a blowout describe the losing teams game as “perfect” or “nearly flawless”.

That’s a classic case of not being willing to handle the reality that’s right in front of your face, but this pales in comparisons to this video from CNN which this week has been the gift that keeps on giving:

No your eyes are not deceiving you that’s a white liberal and a black woman telling a black man on live TV what he is allowed to say and how he is allowed to talk as he tries to explain why they lost minority men.

If you want to sum up what happened in the last election, this is pretty much it.

Five Fast Final Weekend #election2024 Thoughts Under the Fedora A Tad Skewed, I’ll Take that Trade , Defeat is an Orphan , Skipping NH becomes Losing NH and Who’s the Boss of the House?

Apparently Selzer put out a poll giving Kamala Harris a lead in Iowa that was pushed heavily on the net and at Drudge but isn’t being believed by anyone who knows anything about politics. Mark Halperin interviewed the woman in question who acknowledged that she oversampled “older white liberal women”

I think that might make a tad of a difference in the numbers don’t you?

When asked earlier this year the boss at SNL said they would not be having any of the candidates due to equal time laws and rules.

Apparently that no longer applies as they had Kamala on SNL this weekend which likely will do less harm to her campaign than an appearance since it’s pre-scripted and you don’t have to worry about teleprompters.

Personally given what I think will happen I think it’s a bad move but apparently NBC anticipated this and allowed this video for Trump to run during Nasscar and Sunday Night football

I’d take that trade any day of the week.

The blame game articles are already out there and Democrats are pointing fingers furiously.

Apparently nobody owns any mirrors.

One note I saw in a Hill article on the subject was the Bobby Kennedy dropping out and endorsing Trump being a huge hit to them.

I’ll wager if they had let him run in the primaries (where he would have won) the Democrats would be looking pretty good today.

JD Vance was in Derry NH today as the Granite State seems to be getting rather close.

Don’t think for one moment that voters in the state forgot about Biden bypassing them. Even more than Kamala I think that sticks in a lot of craws there.

But of Course you couldn’t have Biden in NH, there was no way to hide his decline if he had to appear in person at the Red Arrow Diner.

Finally I’ve noticed one thing that hasn’t generated a lot of questions.

I’ve seen Nancy Pelosi everywhere on the News lately pushing the various narratives for the Democrats some of them highly unrealistic.

That the former Speaker is doing so itself isn’t odd. In 1980 in the middle of Jimmy Carter getting destroyed Tip O’Neil went on the air and declared: “A Democrat tide is sweeping the nation.” even though he knew it was false as he didn’t want Dems on the left coast losing heart and staying home costing him seats.

What’s odd is that it’s the supposedly FORMER speaker who is doing this. Am I the only one who finds it odd that it’s Nancy Pelosi on all of these shows and NOT the Democrat majority leader Hakeem Jeffries? I mean if your going to interview somebody why would you not have the man with power rather than the person who no longer has it.

And that leads to my question? Does she no longer have it? Is she still the boss and Jeffries just a token? After all if was Pelosi and not Jeffries who forced Biden out.

Five Fast Thoughts Under the Fedora I didn’t know Popeye was Jewish, Doing the Jobs Americans Won’t Do Anymore, More Brady less Mayfield, Hillary & The Left Expecting Their Slaves to Work, Dodging History

Israel’s utter decimation of Hezbollah in Lebanon has confirmed that they have reached the “That’s All I Can Stands I Can’t Stands no More!” stage of existence. In the absence of US leadership Bibi and company has decided to act in their own best interest and take out the trash rather than sit back and appease western governments afraid of angry Arabs.

With Tanks now at the border of Lebanon and the entire command structure of Lebanon gone suddenly the Lebanese is suggesting they will enforce UN resolutions to restrain what’s left of Hezbollah but Israel seems to have decided to take the John Wayne approach from True Grit on rats deciding to kill them rather than let them be.

If I was Iran I’d be damn scared right now.

Speaking of Israel I don’t know what is more embarrassing to me as an American.

  1. That a few days after the Houti’s attacks a group of US warships without any response from us Israel took out their entire oil and fuel reserves at Al Hudaydah port in retaliation for a ballistic Missile strike they conducted against them while they were busy in the north.
  2. That Joe Biden the president when asked about this strike into Yemen strike said this:

This is the man who just over three months ago the entire news media INSISTED was sharp as a tack and anyone who said otherwise was speaking “disinformation”

If you want to understand the difference between a champion and a good player look no further than this exchange when Tom Brady was asked about comments made by the current Tampa Bay quarterback Baker Mayfield concerning how the players wanted him to bring “the joy back to Football” lessening the strees they had during the Brady years.

Brady answered thus:

In fairness to Mayfield he has not done bad in Tampa Bay leading them to one playoff win and having a good start this year. When he manages that first Super Bowl Ring then he can talk.

Let me tell you fans in New England are learning the stress of no Super Bowl Rings these days

Some People are shocked that Hillary Clinton is demanding the MSM attack Donald Trump more which given the level they have hit him so far doesn’t seem possible.

I’m not

She is simply claiming the right to treat her slaves as she wishes.

Finally the Chicago White Sox managed to avoid the worst kind of history winning 5 of their final six to finish 41-121 with a .253 winning percentage. While they did set the record for most losses in a season at 121 which beats the 1962 Mets 160 their 41 wins means their winning percentage is .253 as opposed to the Mets .250 meaning that the Mets remain in a class by themselves.

It’s an even bigger accomplishment when you figure that by taking two of three from the Tigers they forced them into the 6th seed in the playoffs when a single win would have given them home field advantage vs the Royals so they had something to play for.

As the Monty Python crew sings, always look at the bright side of life
