INSTAPUNDIT IN THE NEW YORK POST: The rich and powerful thrived as the rest of us suffered in the year of lockdowns.

IT MAY NOT [YET] BE MORNING IN AMERICA, but dawn is here.

WHAT TO EXPECT: With Trump victory in sight, Democrat election denialism commences.

As expected....

DONALD J.TRUMP will be the next President of the United States. Pennsylvania was called for Trump at 1:30 am this morning, making his electoral total 267. He needs 270 to make his win official, but that means he only has to win one of the undecided states; Harris needs to win them all.

Let the progressive riots begin....

BUT NO SQUIRRELS.

REMEMBER PEANUT and vote accordingly.

THE NOMENKLATURA doesn’t care how cannon fodder votes.

Because it knows how they will vote (if allowed).

IT MAY BE THAT 2024 is the people’s last, best hope to stop the tide of ever more powerful and intrusive unelected government.

KURT SCHLICHTER: Don’t let Peanut die in vain.

THE DAILY CHART: Reading the tea leaves.

CHECK OUT MEGYN KELLY at last night's Trump rally.

HERE'S DONALD TRUMP'S CLOSING AD: Watch it.

HEH: Sanctuary is for other people.

I'm laughing, but at least she'll be aware of what she's voting for....

DEMOCRAT HYPOCRITES accuse Trump of plotting to throw political enemies in internment camps.

They're accusing Trump of plotting to do what they're already planning.

THE 'ENDARKENMENT' is just a prelude to WWIII.

Today I went out to buy more ammunition.

HATE IS PRETTY MUCH CONFINED TO THE LEFT: Watch man who supports Kamala spout awful things at MAGA woman.

AMERICANS INCREASINGLY DEPENDENT ON GOVERNMENT -- That's not good.

REMEMBER PEANUT THE SQUIRREL! Election Day Minus Two One.

This could (Hell, will) happen to you if Kamala wins....

[I'll have more later on Peanut and Fred when the rage eases.]

IS AMERICA READY FOR ITS FIRST DEI PRESIDENT? Kamala Harris is the embodiment of the diversity, equity and inclusion policies that have taken hold across this country over the past decade.

Not only no, but Hell no.

BIDEN: Republicans "are the kind of guys you'd like to smack in the ass".

My response: Progressives (note that I didn't say 'Democrats') are the kind of people (note also that I'm not being gender specific) you'd like to smack in the head -- with a baseball bat preferably, since nothing less can get their attention.

[We had a jackass once, many, many years ago, and it sometimes took a 2x4 to get his attention; they are very stubborn animals.]

A LITTLE SWEET REVENGE against Democrats threatening to kill careers of Trump lawyers.

FALLING LEAVES 2024 WEEK 7: While the weather is relatively warm today (mid-60's) the day definitely has a dreary, dank, gloomy midwinter vibe. I think it's the wind, which is brisk for our neck of the woods. That said -- here is this weeks threesome (well, with one addition).

If you look carefully, you can see a small white spot at the bottom of the barn door. That is our cat Tuxedo.

The barn is actually his second home, so he's out sunning himself next to his front porch. The cats, all six of them, are outside more enjoying the cooler weather.

Now for two more this week. Here's our pond, taken from about midway down the stairs to the pond.

And this one is of our house, also taken from midway along the walking path that leads down to the pond.

It's clear that the 'falling leaves' season this year is nearly over. Last week we had brilliant colors throughout the area. This week the colors are mostly gone everywhere -- as evidenced by the depth of the leaves all around our home -- and the winds today, even though light, are driving the rest off the trees.

Next week, I think, will be the last of this series.

NAH. WE'RE JUST ANTI-STUPID. NY Gov. Kathy Hocul: If you vote GOP, you're 'anti-woman' and 'anti-American'.

I.E., WE DON'T TRUST YOU. Texas bars DOJ election monitors from polling sites.

Rightfully so.

WOW! A COMPETENT COURT: Pennsylvania Supreme Court sides with GOP in last-minute mail-in ballot dispute.

A strongly competent court.

SO LET THE LAWFARE BEGIN: Apparently there's evidence of ballot harvesting in this swing state.

Virginia's 7th district is basically I-95 south from Washington DC. I used to live next door. If it's close there, his Republican opponent has a good chance to win.

For Bezos, the Washington Post is a vanity project, not a business -- he's merely trying to slow the bleeding....

THE ANSWER IS YES: Is the Left planning election night/inaugural violence?

LAUGHING WOLF: Brace, Brace, Brace.

That's the poll with only live likely voters. The dead likely voters will go, overwhelmingly, for Kamala.

LISTENING TO SOMEONE LIKE ME WOULD DIMINISH HIS AUTHENTICITY. Why I’d never accept a job doing PR for Donald Trump.
