Donald Trump has been the President-Elect for barely a week and a half as of this writing. He won’t even be sworn in for another ten weeks or so, and yet he has already triggered a wave of #MAGA momentum that is panicking if not routing a Democrat Party in retreat. How much is he winning? Let us count the ways.
The most significant win, of course, was the election itself, in which Trump not only steamrolled over opponent Kamala Harris by 312 electoral votes to 226, but also led a red wave that resulted in Republicans controlling both the House and Senate. It was a resounding repudiation of four years of Democrat dismantling of American greatness.
Trump has already prompted a shift in foreign affairs that will empower our allies and unsettle our enemies – exactly the opposite of the deposed Joe Biden’s impact. One example: having promised to end the Russia-Ukraine war by Inauguration Day, Trump “has changed the Ukrainian rhetoric and planning in their views about negotiations,” said Shelby Magid, deputy director of the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center. Magid added that Ukraine is “moving in the direction — knowing that Trump has won — of accepting that negotiations are a reality.”
Then there is the panic Trump has engendered among the Deep State traitors and diversity hires of the current administration. Breitbart News reports that the woke leadership of the Pentagon, for example, is in “absolute disarray” with “generals scrambling” in expectation of the incoming administration’s purge of those who prioritized diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) at the expense of combat readiness.
Trump’s ingenious nod to decorated veteran and Fox News host Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense is causing an absolute meltdown among not only the Left, but also establishment RINOs and petty NeverTrumpers like John Bolton who don’t understand that a revolution of unorthodox governance is already underway.
Then there are the lawyers at the Department of Justice who reportedly are threatening to quit if Matt Gaetz, whom Trump tapped for his Attorney General position, is confirmed. The Swamp is already gearing up to drain itself.
Similarly, Big Pharma is quaking in its boots over Trump’s brilliant appointment of health crusader Robert F. Kennedy to head the Department of Health and Human Services. RFK has vowed that the Federal Drug Administration’s “war on public health is about to end.” He warned, “If you work for the FDA and are part of this corrupt system, I have two messages for you: 1. Preserve your records, and 2. Pack your bags.” A reckoning is coming.
Even some hardcore radicals in Congress are beginning to read the writing on the wall and are adjusting accordingly. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez did some stealth editing of her online bio, removing the woke personal pronouns she once so publicly touted. Former NCAA swimmer and women’s rights activist Riley Gaines gloated over AOC’s quiet surrender, stating “We’re winning and its glorious.”
More winning: actress Eva Longoria has packed up her family and is moving out of this “dystopian” country. No one cares, but at least she has the integrity to actually leave the country – putting to shame a whole raft of her Hollywood peers like Barbra Streisand who threaten to leave whenever an election rolls around, but never follow through.
Speaking of celebrities: if this election proved nothing else, it’s that they wield precious little if any political influence in a Trump era. Indeed, the New York Times reports that “Old-School Celebrities Could Not Move the Needle” of this election, noting that “Hollywood endorsements, once an essential part of a campaign playbook, may have backfired in this election.”
May have? That’s being generous. Kamala’s desperate bribery of such former pop culture idols as Beyoncé and Oprah Winfrey scored her nothing but a mountain of campaign debt. It’s over, celebs; the flyover Americans of whom you have been so openly contemptuous are fed up with your elitist, self-righteous hypocrisy. This can be attributed largely to Trump’s influence on the culture ever since 2016.
It’s over for the legacy media, too. Establishment so-called journalists have exposed themselves as nothing more than activists and state propagandists, destroying what little trust the public had in journalism. For example, my colleague Daniel Greenfield notes that MSNBC viewership has crashed and burned in the wake of the election, arguably because leftists are simply burned out on Trump hatred. Ironically but satisfyingly, Elon Musk’s X has emerged as the most reliable source of news today, and there will likely be no going back to the old ways.
As a result, many high-profile anti-Trump media hysterics who refuse to acknowledge their irrelevance, like MSNBC race-monger Joy Reid and former CNN staple Don Lemon, in addition to other Left-wing notables like LGBTQ champion Jamie Lee Curtis and horror novelist Stephan King, have shuttered their X accounts to protest Musk’s free speech platform. In other words, the trash is taking itself out.
Continued winning: unhinged “liberal” women are taking themselves out of the gene pool by swearing off their sexual promiscuity, getting their tubes tied, and hoarding Plan B “morning after pills” to protest the election victory of a man they believe will turn this country into a patriarchal, Handmaid’s Tale horrorscape. Even The View’s ringleader Whoopi Goldberg has announced that she is joining the sex strike (it’s unclear how she could possibly consider this to be some kind of punishment for men).
Speaking of The View, ABC is reportedly scrambling to find Trump-supporting co-hostesses for the inexplicably long-running daytime propaganda-fest. If the network had any outside-the-box thinkers among its executives, it would create a conservative counterpart to The View to capitalize on the underserved millions of MAGA women who made their impact felt in this election. But don’t hold your breath on that one.
I’m sure I’m neglecting many other examples, but I have to stop somewhere. To reiterate: the election was less than ten days ago and Donald Trump is already racking up wins big and small, leading a snowballing MAGA momentum that is breaking the disoriented and disheartened Left. And, if I may borrow from the late Karen Carpenter – we’ve only just begun.

Oh, the anti-American anti-MAGA scum in the DOJ are threatening to quit over Manly Matt Gaetz?
As if they aren’t about to be fired anyway. Try not to soil your panties, girly boys.
I don’t see how them quitting is a bad thing! I’m a proponent of the concept of addition by subtraction. America will be better off without them. Those mewling quims can all go pound sand.
Yeah, maybe they can emigrate to Pakistan or Afghanistan while they’re at it.
If “our” team knew what they were doing ….
They would offer amnesty and no going after retirement benefits …
… to anyone who leaves quietly.
Crackling good article and all so true. Thank you.
Trump is putting in people that are proven to HAVE HIS BACK, not those who will eventually STAB HIM IN THE BACK!
Seriously, who can this man trust? I don’t think he even trusts Jared and Ivanka and a reason why they weren’t helping him. I would even trap them by giving them false info and see if it eventually shows up in the news. Mainly, a false number.
GAETZ is in there because he’ll go after the conspirators in the DOJ, leading to the WH/Biden, who used Lawfare against Trump. Surely Garland is shredding everything like the J6 Committee did. He’ll also get to the bottom of PELOSI and her J6 actions and conspirators, and HER INSIDER TRADING that WILL get her prison time! Add the fake impeachments.
Jeff Sessions was a waste and a wimp! Now, the more they go after Gaetz, the more determined he’ll be to investigate and prosecute, COUP ATTEMPTS AGAINST A SITTING PRESIDENT, then a former President, and the attempts that are being planned.
THEN HUNTER AND THE BIG GUY!
Just sit back and watch the fireworks!
New York and California run by the Demo-Rats both states need to Vote the Demo-Rats off the Island and stranded way out to Sea
There’s a lot of vote fraud that needs a clean up
It’s not over yet. I don’t trust the communists in the federal government. They are playing possum and plan something big. They have no intention of going quietly and have no limits as to what they would do.
Gen. Flynn said as much but he said ‘they’ were ready for whatever the DS is planning. I’ve heard that before and hope he is right this time.
Now we know what is meant by ‘the tide is turning’. An amazing phenomenon.
Now we can’t help laughing heartily at our biased, statesponsored press and DR (Danish Radio and TV) telling us proles about Trump’s picks for the incoming administration – they’re all ‘controversial’, and there are always titbits about faulty Trump. Always a hair in the soup.
Media has lost big time. A tragedy for years but suddenly the play has turned laughably and absurd.
Like DDR before it fell 1989, the good Germans laughed their heads off.
Advent season starts early this year.
Thank God for the Americans!
Tusend tak.to you!
There is this fascinating and brilliant analysis of the people chosen by Trump (Marco Rubio,Tulsi Gabbard,etc). The key person is Tulsi Gabbard. Scott Ritter says his choice of her for her specific position is a stroke of genius for reason.
Scott Ritter also analyzes RFK Jr as a choice and gives a very positive rating.
My concern is with the so-called “resistance”, those deadenders who’ll judge shop and hire overpriced ambulance chasers to waste time and money dragging America through their lawfare quagmire to slow or halt progress in the MAGA agenda. The ridiculous criticism of Trump’s administration picks as “unqualified “ after the 4 years we just experienced is the height of chutzpah. Another reason to ignore the propaganda arm of the left, the entire lamestream media. And put your Senators and Congressman on speed dial. The may need some backbone infusions as we progress..
The reason why Donald Trump is clear winner, by a landslide, in the November 5th 2024 Presidential National election, and by contrast, Kamala Harris is such a loser is because
There’s a vest difference between the strong and patriotic Donald Trump and Marxist Kamala Harris , with her comrades in that insidious and subversive Red/Green alliance, is both obvious clear vast and outstanding.
The victory of the winner Donald Trump of the results of the November 5th 2024 Presidential election is likewise a triumph for America and the American people.
Therefore, in the future, in American history books, all genuine historians will recognize Donald Trump as a Great Patriotic American President.
In contrast, the name of Kamala Harris will rot in American history.
As the Bible informs its reader “The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.” Proverbs 11:7. [K.J.V.]
I think her nasty hootchie rotted a long time ago.
Handmaid’s Tale…
Like all Democrat fantasies, they are the ones most likely to end the unparalleled freedom of women in the West to do as they wish.
Whether or not a woman wants to be a mother, a doctor, a wage slave, or a s3x worker …
… the West has offered women the greatest prosperity, safety, legal rights, and more.
That is, up until the Fake and ‘happy’ pervert agenda edged them out of their privileged position at the top of the victim pyramid.
If women do not jettison the fake feminist (communist-atheist) narrative, and soon,
… we will become an atheist-religion-of-peace commune followed swiftly by just a barbaric meltdown into a Mad Max version of the middle ages.
And when the power goes out, women will go from wage slaves to just slaves.
What will feminist women (female communist-atheists) do then?
Blame Christians and men. (And they will go back to being witches.)
you know, as an old school Republican and small c conservative I have debated whether it is pointless to try to reason with the types of folks that post on this site. But then, it occurred to me, if I even annoy a few of you from time to time it is worth the effort.
so, for those of you from Rio Lindo, we are a Constitutional Republic. We live under the rule of law. I know that comes as a surprise to those of you whose secret fantasy is to don a brownshirt and round up immigrants, Democrats, gays and — who is next — Jews, Catholics, and evangelical Christians? I would not put it past you. But because like your leader, you have no principles beyond power, no ethic beyond hate, no religion beyond greed, no morality beyond bullying.
David is mistaken supporting Trump, but I feel certain he would not abide most of these posts if he was taking the time to read them. No, it is a waste of time. He is right.
