You can’t get a better contrast between the Trump administration and the Biden Administration than the pardons issued. All the people Trump pardoned are folks that he thought were punished for their political beliefs and or overcharged were pardoned at a time when it would cause maximum blowback from the media.

Most of those Biden pardoned were those who had aided him in attacking his political foes or enriching him and or enriching him and his family and were pardoned at a point least damaging to his presidency.

Oh and there were the killers as well.

It was hilarious watching the press go after the J6 pardons and acting as if Trump didn’t care about police less than 24 hours after Biden commuted the sentence of Leonard Peltier who killed two FBI agents. along with quite a few other violent criminals.

It is even more ironic that as they still complain about this they are ranting about going after violent thugs that have been let free by blue state authorities directly after committing violence because they came here illegally.

The narratives never change from the press, never.

The biggest contrast so far from Trump term 1 to Trump term 2 is the fact that the inside people are no longer restraining him.

There were a lot of things Trump wanted to do in term 1 that people in the Senate or in the Cabinet or elsewhere repeatedly advised him not to do or secretly tried to stop him from doing and Trump trying to get along went along.

Not any more, like the US army at the Kasserine Pass he learned from his last term and the years in between and is plowing full speed ahead.

One of the best realities of the situation has been Donald Trump telling people to their faces actual reality. From his inaugural speech to Davos Trump has not hesitated in calling a spade a spade and doing so in the face of those who deserve it.

Such frankness in saying the truth aloud is completely foreign to Capital Hill and their minions.

I wonder how they will deal with it?

The biggest Contrast between this week and last week has been press access.

Trump has taken questions every single day and spontaneous questions from hostile press outlets and hasn’t ducked any of them.

The press has had almost nothing to say about their sudden access and the the contrast between a president who IS in charge and a president who isn’t.

But industry has got it and Chrysler has already announced that they will restart one plant in Illinois and build another vehicle in Detroit.

Jobs no doubt that the blue governors of those states will take credit for.

Five Nasty Surprises Under the Fedora: 15 Million Day, Oddly not Blaming the Gun This Time, Bluesky the Robespierre Wet Dream, Israel Doing what Nobody Else Wants to do For Them and More Red Pillings

As Usual the great Bryon York does a spectacular Job in explaining how the desire to falsely call Donald Trump a rapist was pushed by a Judge with an agenda. Alas agendas are not the same as the law as ABC and George Stephanopoulos found out at a cost of 15 Mil.

There are plenty of lefty influencers who are well paid that Trump can soak, he should go after every one.

It will be a lot of fun to see the Trump organization continue to sue these folks and make them pay.

Justine Bateman and I both noticed something interesting about the left’s reaction to the CEO murder.

So not only is nobody calling for Gun Control as Justine notes, but nobody is blaming the gun this time for the killing, or as it should be if the left was consistent celebrating the gun.

Apparently people are the killers when the left approves of the killing and guns are the killers when they don’t.

Speaking of the left and violence…

Well without risk until Jan 21st 2025 anyway.

If the French Terror had social media Bluesky would be their spot.

Remember when it was said illegal immigrants were “doing jobs Americans aren’t willing to do anymore”?

Apparently the Israeli’s are the “illegal immigrants” doing the job that the west wants done but doesn’t want to dirty their hands with…

…albeit it’s done out of their own self preservation.

Of course I suspect Jihadi’s will get all the nuclear weapons they want once they’re done taking over England.

There is a group of people who will never listen to any kind of conservative media because in their mind to do so crosses some kind of “purity test” so the only time they get any kind of message that penetrates their bubble world is if someone else chooses to report it.

Enter Stephen A Smith:

The number of people who follow Stephen A Smith who have likely never consumed conservative media is considerable and he is a significant enough black voice that the MSM blacklists him at their peril, so when he is reporting that the FBI admits to having at least 26 informants on the ground on J6, that’s going to open quite a few eyes.

It’s as if the whole corrupt mess is collapsing and Trump isn’t even sworn in yet.

The Laughs Keep Coming Under the Fedora: Heretics on MSNBC! Reiner as Robespierre, Uygur v Lichtman, Disney Runs Away, Hostin Hostage Video

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:

https://twitter.com/ACTBrigitte/status/1855095025190797453

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.
