This election cycle killed two birds with one stone.

Clintons and Bushes.

Unfortunately for Hillary, as Senator of NY, she had to appease the same people who are close to Neocons. So, she was for Wars and Wall Street. She was neoconned.

TRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who would have believed it? What can it mean? Is God with us or something?

Now will he prosecute and jail Hillary? I hope he does – I hope he goes in the teeth of decorum as he has so far and cleans house like he said he would.

Good.

Some British books already paid off bets a few weeks ago based on Hillary winning.

wow! Must hand it to him. He smashed through all the conventions and recieved wisdoms and got it done.

Now is the time to start the Sailer Strategery fundraiser.

This has to be the greatest David vs Goliath story in US history.

I think only one newspaper endorsed Trump. All others were for Hillary or someone else.
Even conservative papers rebuked Trump.

Hillary raised over a billion dollars. Billionaires favored her by 20 to 1.

All of MSM was openly biased in favor of her. Even Fox sat on the fence except for Hannity.

The whole world, except for Russia, was for Hillary.

Just about everyone that mattered in government, media, academia, and major institutions was for Hillary.

So, how did this happen?

Historians will write about this for many many yrs to come.

It will be studied and re-studied endlessly.
Not just Trump but how the whole system rigged everything against him and lost.

Or, maybe historians and ‘social scientists’ will just be lazy and say ‘racists done it’.

Well you did it, Steve. You effectively changed the course of world history with your internet blog.

And it’ll probably cost less than $225k.

If any mainstream media outlet wants an explanation for why Trump's message resonated with America, I'll write one or a reasonable fee.

— J Burton (@JBurtonXP) November 9, 2016

At last!

I noticed that the NYT waited to change WI to Trump and put him up to 276 until a minute or two after Hillary called Donald to concede.

Even in stinging defeat they still wait for permission.

I recall big shots at the Financial Times reporting chats in Davos (World Economic Forum): no worries over Trump, Hillary will win.

I wish the Country Class, the Ruled, may take over for real now. Like Angelo Codevilla writes, it must be a process revolutionary in nature.

I am a little appalled many have thanked Buchanan Sailer Coulter while none has thanked Unz.

Well, thanks for offering such a platform to points of views and interests madly censored everywhere else, Mr. Unz.

Thanks to Ron Paul, Petras, Shamir, Fred Reed, Ms. Mercer, Paul Gottfried and his group of scholars for America, Giraldy, and anybody else.

I don’t feel I can thank Napolitano and Whitney, but perhaps I misunderstood their angry rants at FBI’s Comey for the 3 days in last year he acted fairly.
Mr. Napolitano and Whitney, you should mind substance more than formality.
Substance is Clinton had to be indicted, and the FBI worked for her by not doing that.

The USA are still a democracy.
For how long, it will be demographics to decide.

Tiny Duck said Trump couldn’t win the Republican nomination.

Trump won.

Tiny Duck said Trump couldn’t win the Presidency of the United States.

Trump won.

I had about lost all faith in many of my fellow countrymen. This and knowing that Tiny Duck is now extinct…. A fine day indeed.

Congratulations to Mr. Trump and his crew.

I never thought I would see the day.

Tiny duck…tiny duck…tiny duck. We hardly knew you.

His victory speech is a little weird.

Thank you Lord Jesus for President Trump.

Sing now, ye people of the Tower of Anor,
for the Realm of Sauron is ended for ever,
and the Dark Tower is thrown down.

Sing and rejoice, ye people of the Tower of Guard,
for your watch hath not been in vain,
and the Black Gate is broken,
and your King hath passed through,
and he is victorious.

Sing and be glad, all ye children of the West,
for your King shall come again,
and he shall dwell among you
all the days of your life.

And the Tree that was withered shall be renewed,
and he shall plant it in the high places,
and the City shall be blessed.

Sing all ye people!

J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King.

I heard fireworks echoing from afar and knew the Trumpening was at hand.

God bless President Trump.

Time for a fundraising drive, Sailer?

Congratulations to all Trump supporters here! This victory means:
– A resounding defeat for the Neocons.
– A resounding rejection of identity politics.
– A vote against neo-liberalism and in favor of development.
Plenty of stuff for both “leftist” and “rightists” to be excited about.

This guy may turn out to be a good president.

Cheers.

Congratulations on a Trump win, Americans. Let’s hope he picks a great cabinet and smart advisers – after all comes to power owing very little to anyone, esp in the GOP.

ground game!

Super PACs!

Latinos!

Gaffes!

Screw off, media.

MAGA! We all did this. Now time to get to work on the wall. Where’s Tiny Duck at?

Tonight Hillary is dining in . . . :

Hurrah!

Today is a great day as it marks the election of the savior of humanity.

His speech was great, he’s such a schmoozer. Also thanked all the supporting cast, including the Secret Service. Very gracious and decent, from the heart. No phony.

He did it…the absolute madman actually did it…

Was that Omarosa from the first Apprentice on stage with him?

I have witnessed some of the most awful and amazing things in my life this year. Thanks DJT for everything.

“Congratulations to all Trump supporters here! This victory means:

– A resounding rejection of identity politics.”

No. It is actually a tacit victory for white identity politics.

I still can’t believe it. I just hope he doesn’t forget San Jose and what those people did to his supporters. Or any of the other arrogant cities, universities, corporations and other “progressive” institutions across the US. It’s time for some justice.

Trump is Henry V:

5th dimensional chess, my friends.

GREAT NIGHT. Trump took the Sailer Strategy and ran with it.

From the losers’ camp:

Bloomberg

And already the questions arise, with Bloomberg promptly asking “what might President-elect Trump do to calm the markets?” Because some still believe that’s the most important thing; some like Hillary Clinton, whose belief is what cost her the presidency.

The Bloomberg comedy continues: “he could remove a lot of the uncertainty factor by saying he has complete faith in Fed Chair Janet Yellen. He could tamp down any talk of a rebellion against House Speaker Paul Ryan — and give Ryan a green light to move ahead with his agenda. He could even offer to work with Democratic leaders in Congress on a plan to address the grievances of disaffected blue-collar workers in Rust-Belt states.”

Oh yeah.
He could.
But he also could not.

I love the smell of napalm in the morning…
Smells like …VICTORY!!!
Sadly though won’t see that Hillary Huma wedding in the White House

I could have sworn I saw William Shatner up there on the stage too, but I’d think someone would have mentioned it if it was him. I recall there was some speculation about his being a closet Trumpist when he failed to join George Takei and a boatload of other Trek players in signing a “Trek Against Trump” letter.

Very much agree. Please take a bow this evening Sir Sailer.

Would this victory have happened if Steve Sailer hadn’t got into journalism and blogging? I wonder. Maybe not.

J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

I can’t believe he did it. I’m fucking gobsmacked. I thought he was going to lose by a few points in all the battleground states, resulting an electoral college BTFO.

Hail Kek!

LOL: When I brought up the page it had 2 comments. By the time it finished loading it had 37.

Steve was like:

Good work, Sailer.

“Well you did it, Steve. You effectively changed the course of world history with your internet blog.”
You’re delusional mate.

Double Trump’s security now!

The New World Order is going to try to move Pence into the Oval Office asap. They put the hit on Reagan in the first month!

Trump is a shark so we know he won’t be naive about this stuff. His enemies are only temporarily vanquished. They hate his guts!

If Trump is smart he will spend some time visualizing just how many powerful people want Donald Trump dead after tonight.

Congratulations! Make America Great Again!

The Obama era is over.

First Brexit, now Trump.

I’m hoping Marine Le Pen makes it the triple.

Well done, America. Well done.

As I said before, it just didn’t make sense that Trump’s rallies were huge turn-away crowds, while Hillary’s were consistently small, and sparse.

It’s kind of like the stock market. When other indicators are haywire, follow the real volume. You can fake pricing, for a while, but you can never fake volume.

Good thing to remember.

He’s prolly somewhere in NYC, keeping ice in Hillary’s glass.

No sir.

It is our ancestors–my ancestors, yours–who have dreamed the dream of evolution and fought through unthinkable challenges to create a place the best and brightest and most hard working could call their own.

It is a victory for HBD.

Mr. Sailer, sir, it has been a privilege to be welcomed here as a regular commenter. I must have been awfully good in a previous life to deserve such company in what seemed to be a time of such isolation and forgetting.

I beg your indulgence as I offer up for youse-all’s consideration this Inari Sami man jojking the bear:

Ah, the exhilaration of victory, how sweet it is.

Take a bow, Mr. Sailer and the Unz crew. Savor The Night of the Long Faces.

Bliss it is in these days to be alive, but to be a Trump supporter is very heaven itself!

I’d like to take this moment to thank Mr. Sailer. This blog has, if not shaped my political thought, it has certainly put the facts and numbers behind that political thought. Not only is this blog relevant on a national level, but it touches many on a grass roots level. I wish I could write something more profound, but I’m a little tipsy and there it is…. Thanks to all those that participate here. Much obliged!

Amazing speech by Trump.

Democrats and Republicans are one people (and that’s why they hate you, Donald. Elitists who want to rule want to divide the ruled).
I will work for the people (and that’s why they hate you, Donald)
We’ll get along with everybody, and make our economy the best in the world (and that’s why they hate you, Donald)
It is an honour for me, and I love this nation (and that’s why they hate you, Donald)

Trumps leaves, while You can’t always get what you want by the Rolling Stones is playing.

I really really wonder how much he will manage to accomplish.
Maybe it depends not only on his will and capabilities, but also on us.
Let’s all do our best.

Good night people.

For those who despise Trump, it coulda been worse.

Camacho and ‘make america grow again’

Where is (((Owen)))?

Great predictions. You should definitely keep commenting.

Golden age cometh

I knew this day would come. Almost wish I wasn’t a US citizen so that I could have made a true killing in the markets

The Deplorables trump the Hystericals!

On a negative note, I hope this doesn’t mean liberal Hollywood actors are going to start fleeing to Canada and Australia.

MAGA! We all did this. Now time to get to work on the wall. Where’s Tiny Duck at?

Sent to the fois gras factory.

The liberal tears are delicious. That Slate screenshot…

They said Trump was vastly inflating the value of his brand in estimating his own worth at ten billion. Time for a rethink?

Trump brand is going through the roof. But a president can ruin their presidency. Look at the Bush brand.

I took a screenshot of the New York Times’ web front page on Saturday, when it proclaimed that “Hillary Clinton has an 84% chance of winning.”

Liars.

I was wrong. He won. Congratulations, everyone.

Just goes to show you can’t always be pessimistic. 😉

Now let’s go make the country great again…

I’m right a lot. People would do well to listen.

Of course, need to work on being completely sober, active and energetic all the time. With that I could learn a lot from Trump. Truly a great man

I love the ironic juxtaposition of the NYT’s ‘Trump Triumphs’ headline with the ‘Hamilton!’ ad right above it. Sweet, sweet, sweet.

Steve, take a virtual bow, then get some sleep in the coming days. You’ve just completed a remarkable run of social analysis and commentary. Thanks!

As Fun said above: Obama is over.

Clintons & Bushes also.

Can’t wait for Obamacare to be flushed down the memory hole.

Can’t wait for Scalia type scotus appointees.

Does Trump have the balls to push his agenda all the way? Reagan failed by trying to meet the radical donks halfway.

Absolutely right. And it goes to show that ideas, and intellectuals, really, really do matter. Even in this ‘back to blood’ era. Imagine if Steve had instead stuck with marketing research and were making very nice money now. That Steve would probably give some cash to his favorite campaigns and hope he was having impact. But THIS Steve changed everything.

San Franciscan non-monk

In the debates, they kept on pestering Trump about whether he would concede, but in the end it was Hillary who did not have the grace to come out and give a concession speech, even though she conceded to Trump on the phone. With leftists, it’s all about projection.

She left all her supporters out on the floor without even a thank you for their efforts. WTF was that about? Was she having a seizure? Weeping uncontrollably?

Now today was truly the worst day of Hillary’s life. Not only did she lose and take her party down with her and control of the Supreme Court to boot, but she is probably going to jail. The statute of limitations has not run and there is nothing that prevents the new AG (Chris Christie?) from taking a fresh look at her crimes.

But still she should have been man enough to come out and congratulate the winner. I’m sure that they had some devious plan to come up with more votes in Detroit and contest the election Gore style when Podesta sent everyone home at 2:0o AM but at some point it became clear that Michigan alone wouldn’t do it and that she couldn’t steal the election in enough states to win. But at that point she should have come out as soon as she called Trump.

WTF? Did Sailer just get elected president or was it Trump ?

Tiny Duck said Trump would lose to Crooked Hillary in a “landslide” also.

Chewing the carpet maybe ?

Fill in your own words .

Yes, Steve should strike while the iron is hot.

“Where is (((Owen)))?”
(((Owen))) was paid, his mission failed.

This could mean yuge things for this fair website, Roissy, Zero Hedge. The msm has been defeated.

Yeah, it seems very strange that Hillary didn’t go out to talk to her people–either to concede or to say “hell no, we’re fighting this out to the last recounted ballot and dimpled chad.” It makes me wonder whether some of the speculation about her health problems were right after all.

I guess we’ve resolved the question of whether Nate Silver was being dishonest in giving Trump a 1/3 chance of winning (As Sam Wang and Andrew Gellman implied he was doing to keep people interested). And perhaps also the question of whether Scott Adams was nuts for claiming such certainty that Trump would win.

Congratulations to Steve, Kevin MacDonald, Jared Taylor, and all the other great known and unknown internet warriors out there. For those ready for the next phase, and with strong stomachs, google ‘podesta pedophile’. It’s a cumulative case, but it looks to me like the Podesta Wikileaks emails are going to finally break wide open those elite pedophile rings that have been rumored for many years. Somehow I don’t see this getting swept under the carpet during a Trump Presidency.

Steve – do you know if any of Trump’s inner circle are familiar with your work? Bannon maybe?

No. It is actually a tacit victory for white identity politics.

I already used my “agree”, but agree totally.

First Brexit, now Trump. White people be like:

Who’s next? Merkel?

I’m delighted that Trump won.

I’m delighted that Hillary lost.

It’s a close victory, so I think we can give Steve the credit. 😉

I did think it was kind of ironic they were both in NYC a mile from each other. Guess the place really is the center of the world.

Thanks, Steve, for your intellectual leadership.

Laughing my ass off as the press suddenly discovers that the Presidency has become insanely powerful and unchecked under President Obama! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Look, we should probably make an attempt to be conciliatory in tone to the average Hillary voter. Half of them won’t appreciate it, of course, but we should make the attempt. But to the professional class of politicians and media people? No fucking mercy. Rub their faces in it every chance you can. They deserve to be destroyed, permanently ruined. And one of the ways to do that is to rub their disgusting faces in it that they wanted an unchecked President when it was their creature in the office.

He crushed the hag.

Now let’s hope he crushes the rest of the left.

Siberian Candidate won. Putin’s Puppet.

Run and Hide!!!

We are ruled by the Russkies!!!

“Yeah, it seems very strange that Hillary didn’t go out to talk to her people–either to concede or to say “hell ‘re fighting this out to the last recounted ballot and dimpled chad.” It makes me wonder whether some of the speculation about her health problems were right after all.”

I found that odd too….. Podesta came out, gave the speech about how it’s not over yet, then later Clinton calls DT and concedes. What happened? She have a crying jag or apoplectic fit and couldn’t address the crowd? She wanted to fight on but her fixers said they couldn’t manufacture enough fake votes in Philly or Detroit?

So Steve – what job do you want in the new administration? You should get your pick! At least Ambassador to Austria or Switzerland, I forget which is your ancestral homeland

Shatner didn’t really see the other star track cast as “being on his level.” Supposedly he was a dominant personality around the set. He said something about not even really knowing George takie, and that George takie never said a word to him outside of filming.
Maybe Shatner just isn’t friends with any of them and thinks they are untalented geeks.

I credit and thank Sailer, Unz, Vox Dei, Lion of the Blogosphere, Assange and others. They have done a magnificent job of challenging power that had resources of orders of magnitude greater than their own. Great job. And a hat tip to all of us nobody commentators who fed the embers these past two years.

I hoped he could run it so close she’d be in a mortal panic. I did not dare really hope, but he pulled it off.

Taking nothing from his run, from start to finish, it is one for the history books… but part of what happened tonight was a reckoning. I used to be a Democrat and in my opinion, they massively overplayed their hand, and for years.

Just one small piece. Shameless: http://thebostontribune.com/first-grandma-marian-robinson-receive-lifetime-160k-government-pension/

Magnificent. As a European, I am overjoyed.

Congratulations to all the folks here that kept it real even when things looked hopeless.

A big thank you to Steve and Mr. Unz for this wonderful blog and site, respectively. Unz.com is my #1 stop when catching up on news.

And congratulations to the 45th President of the United States, DONALD J. TRUMP!

P.S. I would say the second biggest loser of tonight is Nate Cardboard (formerly Silver), wouldn’t you say?

Libs say Trump and his supporters are dumb, but their over-emphasis on nonsense like Machado the Ho suggests they really look down on their side as a bunch of dummies who will be energized by trash news and gossip.

As Hillary had no substance on issues, her side just went for too much trash.

Someone like Romney would have been sunk by such revelations as he created this ‘father knows best’ image. But Trump became trash-resistant because his life became so immune to it.

“P.S. I would say the second biggest loser of tonight is Nate Cardboard (formerly Silver), wouldn’t you say?”

Change his name to Nate Lead.

I find it shocking myself. He was Boy Wonder of 2012. But he was so wrong about Brazil World Cup. But okay, that’s sports and there are too many variables.

But how could he have been SO WRONG this time around?

It’s like a Haven Monahan version of stats. All made-up and fake.

Trump won utah, and Sausage McGriddle couldn’t even beat hillary.

I think NYT did a splendid job in forecasting Trump win since before 9:30pm and having a very accurate adaptive forecast algorithm running in real time. They called Florida and Pennsylvania couple hours before FOX and CNN did.

Not everybody did get the memo, the same memo that Comey did 12 days ago that Trump would win and the election won’t be stolen. But certainly NYT did get the memo.

2016.

Cubs win.

Trump wins.

Landmark year.

And neck and neck to the very end.

From comments here I learned that Omarosa was part of the Trump campaign.
Her Wikipedia entry quotes a prediction that she made back in September:

“In a Frontline episode, ‘The Choice 2016’, Omarosa said that ‘every critic, every detractor, will have to bow down to President Trump. It’s everyone who’s ever doubted Donald, who ever disagreed, who ever challenged him. It is the ultimate revenge to become the most powerful man in the universe.’ ”

Paul Ryan must be got rid off.

As early as Wednesday morning, op-ed pieces will start to appear blaming Hillary’s loss on Obama. They’ll say Obama should have reined-in FBI director Comey, or that he should have prevented Obamacare premiums from rising before the election… One thing or another, but there will be plenty of claims that Hillary was perfect and Obama sabotaged her somehow, probably because he didn’t want to be eclipsed by a woman.

Trump should appoint Steve Sailer as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to boost marriage and end Section 8 migration.

the cruncher asked:

Now will he prosecute and jail Hillary? I hope he does

No, Obama will pardon her. And, that will make life easier for Trump. (Personally, I would prefer to see her prosecuted.)

And her health issues are not a joke: although she called Trump to concede, she could not make it to the venue to thank her supporters. I think soon we will be pitying her rather than hating her.

Dave Miller in Sacramento

“As I said before, it just didn’t make sense that Trump’s rallies were huge turn-away crowds, while Hillary’s were consistently small, and sparse.”

Exactly. All polls we were fed with until about 12 days ago were fake. When Comey announced the reopening of investigation it was a signal to everybody and media in particular that the reality must be restored. The TPTB made a decision that the election cannot be stolen from Trump. The difference was just too great. New pro-Trump registrations and results of early voting made it obvious. The polls having Hillary 14% ahead were false as all the others. Their purpose was to take the steam out of Trump locomotive. But it did not work. The distrust of media and polling did not affect Trump supporters as they hoped they would. The Deep State (TPTB) was doing a favor to MSM, the most important instrument of power, by giving them an exit strategy. Blame it on the emails. We were not wrong but emails did it. The October surprise did it. Yeah, that’s the ticket! And it goes w/o saying that Comey wanted to be on the good side of the next president. The purpose of Comey action was also to weaken Trump presidency. Trump did not need this help. He would win w/o Comey. TPTB always want to have a weak president.

Come on Sailer be generous on this night of “your” triumph. In your heart you know I’m right .

It’s Trump’s victory, but how many people voted to spite Slate and the rest of Hillary’s media fans? It reminded me of Alexander Cockburn back in the 1990s assessing the press after the Lewinsky Scandal.

Did the pundits make fools of themselves? Yes, indeed. They made incredible, unforgivable misjudgments about public opinion. This is because most of the pundits clustered in the studios of the networks, MSNBC and PBS are stupid, largely right-wing people who talk only to each other, read only each other and in consequence have very little contact with external reality. They should all be fired.

There is, these days, not much actual reporting in mainstream, corporate journalism. Within the circumference of the entire media-industrial complex, the space given over to unearthing of facts is minuscule in comparison to the opinion-mongering facilities, gigantic smokehouses of punditry the size of a thousand football fields.

Most opinion formers these days are well-paid corporate serfs, promulgating boilerplate and sedulous to avoid the asking of any awkward questions. This is the politico-pundit class that screwed up this year. It’s not a problem for “the press.” It’s a problem for them and for the people who pay their salaries.

Congratulations, Mr. Sailer. Your 2+ decades of effort have paid off today. Though my political preferences were (and are) very different from yours, I hope Trump turns over a new leaf and becomes a credit to your cause. We have an interesting (to say the least) 4 years ahead of us.

Well done America. I didn’t think it would happen.

Trying to dial down the gloating is going to be really tough.

P.S. I would say the second biggest loser of tonight is Nate Cardboard (formerly Silver), wouldn’t you say?

Hopefully, we’ll stop hearing about that guy. He should be thoroughly discredited by now.

“The Obama era is over.”

Yes, especially when Lord God Emperor Trump repeals and replaces 0bamacare. Because, other than 0bamacare, what has President Powerbottom done the past eight years besides being black? Nada.

God bless President Trump.

David vs. Goliath

It makes me wonder whether some of the speculation about her health problems were right after all.

Drunker than Hell is just as likely.

I am not used to winning.

Is that why I have this sudden urge for vodka?

Oh wait. It’s Finlandia.

“Maybe it depends not only on his will and capabilities, but also on us.” – He/we must start the movement. W/o the movement he won’t accomplish anything. American presidents rarely went against establishment and the Deep Sate by turning to people for support. Some of them missed great opportunities because of that. If G.H. Bush had balls to turn to people when he had a conflict with Izaak Shamir he would have gotten the 2nd term and we would have saved money by not funding Israel in perpetuity. He was getting lots of letters urging him to do it and he was tempted but in the end he chickened out.

The people who were from the beginning with Trump and for Trump must keep pressure on him and should formulate a plan. What we really want? W/o this pressure Paul Ryans and his ilk will insulate Trump from us and he will be powerless. One has to keep a good eye on those now who will be flocking to Trump.

A “Night of Long Knives” must be carried out to get rid GOP of Paul Ryans, McCains, and neocons.

The Bloomberg comedy continues: “he could remove a lot of the uncertainty factor by saying he has complete faith in Fed Chair Janet Yellen. He could tamp down any talk of a rebellion against House Speaker Paul Ryan — and give Ryan a green light to move ahead with his agenda.

Uh… I think the liberal’s twisted “don’t make the black kids angry” logic is dead on arrival. I don’t think the dems are yet picking up that most of the country has just indicated that they hates them, much less admitting to being on the wrong side of history. I hope relevant Dems grow a brain quickly.

On another note, I can almost smell the bleachbit rising from the White House.

Obama must be shitting. Can’t wait to see his attitude change overnight. If I wee Obama, I’d see to it that Trump’s transition into the White House is as pleasant as possible.

“Yeah, it seems very strange that Hillary didn’t go out to talk to her people–either to concede or to say “hell no, we’re fighting this out to the last recounted ballot and dimpled chad.” It makes me wonder whether some of the speculation about her health problems were right after all.”

Great observation. Yes, it’s passing strange that illary did not concede in public and at a podium the way Republicucks Juan McLoser and Matt Fraudney did in years past. I think we can presume illary was at least halfway through a magnum of white wine and couldn’t conjoin a coherent phrase in congratulations of The Glorious Trumpening.

God bless President Donald Trump!

” I think soon we will be pitying her rather than hating her.”

Glibs are too quick to assume that inarticulates are stupid.

Tiny Duck doesn’t believe what he writes.

“And her health issues are not a joke: although she called Trump to concede, she could not make it to the venue to thank her supporters.”

That was yet another display of ill-will, not ill health.

“I think soon we will be pitying her rather than hating her.”

When hell freezes over is soon?

Ordinance of no quarter to the Irish :

“… no quarter shall be given hereafter to any Irishman, nor any Papist whatsoever born in Ireland, who shall be taken in hostility against the Parliament … every officer that shall be remiss or negligent in observing the tenor of this ordinance shall be reputed a favourer of that bloody rebellion in Ireland . ”

For Irishman and Papist read Progressive and SJW and , oh well what the hell Papist too.

Congrats to Trump, but on to a topic much dearer to me personally, can Le Pen win in France ? Which would be a much more significant event.

I think Steve’s blog will be looked at by historians of US political trends in a hundred years. Assuming any historians are left by then.

Wonderful result, enjoy today, but tomorrow the struggle begins. Bit like Brexit really.

The globalists are calling it ‘The Death Of The West”, when really it’s the West trying to fight off infection. Long way yet from being a reconquista.

Good piece in the Guardian by Thomas Frank.

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/nov/09/donald-trump-white-house-hillary-clinton-liberals

“Democratic leaders made Hillary their candidate even though they knew about her closeness to the banks, her fondness for war, and her unique vulnerability on the trade issue – each of which Trump exploited to the fullest. They chose Hillary even though they knew about her private email server. They chose her even though some of those who studied the Clinton Foundation suspected it was a sketchy proposition.

To try to put over such a nominee while screaming that the Republican is a rightwing monster is to court disbelief. If Trump is a fascist, as liberals often said, Democrats should have put in their strongest player to stop him, not a party hack they’d chosen because it was her turn. Choosing her indicated either that Democrats didn’t mean what they said about Trump’s riskiness, that their opportunism took precedence over the country’s well-being, or maybe both.

Clinton’s supporters among the media didn’t help much, either. It always struck me as strange that such an unpopular candidate enjoyed such robust and unanimous endorsements from the editorial and opinion pages of the nation’s papers, but it was the quality of the media’s enthusiasm that really harmed her. With the same arguments repeated over and over, two or three times a day, with nuance and contrary views all deleted, the act of opening the newspaper started to feel like tuning in to a Cold War propaganda station…

How did the journalists’ crusade fail? The fourth estate came together in an unprecedented professional consensus. They chose insulting the other side over trying to understand what motivated them. They transformed opinion writing into a vehicle for high moral boasting. What could possibly have gone wrong with such an approach? ”

Well said, Jack. Worst day of her life, and 100 percent deserved.

For 18 months all we heard from the culture–the condescending left and lapdog right–was how bad a mistake it would be to nominate Trump. But now it’s undeniable that the big mistake was on the left, rallying so obsequiously behind Clinton. She’s truly hated. And now she’s going to be hated by all those who sold their souls on her behalf, only to have her come out a loser against Trump.

Watching the recriminations is going to be delicious.

Nemesis is a powerful goddess, indeed.

Or just People-ism?

Globalists — they’re either at your throat or at your feet: https://twitter.com/JunckerEU/status/796277748935299072

We need Trump or (hapless) Congress to rename a federal prison as Canada immediately!

He writes in the same spirit as the English pamphlet writers who ushered in Cromwell.

There is still much affinity with Albion over here given the Brexit & Trumpening. The special relationship lives on.

This is an important point. Do not allow the enemy to label this “populism.” Call it democracy. Call it Americanism. Call it citizenism.

A new movement, “Americanism,” sweeps the country.

A lot of her people will be slithering up to the Oval Office asking for pardons.

Wonder if he is reconsidering the Georgetown property yet?

I was hiking the other day and met a French couple in maybe their 60s or 70s. They described themselves as “political refugees” and are traveling the world to get out of France, which they said is a terrible place now. They were really, really angry. It will be interesting to see how things go in Europe in future elections.

CUBS WIN !

The globalists are calling it ‘The Death Of The West”

This is what genuinely gets to me, there are some that define the West as liberal democracy, when the fact is that for most its history there was certainly no democracy or liberalism. That is bad enough, but there are those that define it as literal world government, which should normally be seen as a ridiculous concept, but this is the definition that is used by the editors of The Economist, the Davos clique and mainstream politicians.

Hail to the chief!

Not the most important thing, but I am willing to bet a lot of money that not one of the celebrities that threatened to move to Canada will do so. The reason being that Trump does not threaten them in any real way, other than hurt their gut mensch feelings.

A telling sign of the magnitude of tonight’s victory, and how it’s stunned and deflated the cult of elite condescension:

There’s no “Google Doodle” on the Google homepage. Just their spare, no-frills logo.

They’re speechless!

CNNs top headline is “how do I teach my kids.”

For last year going through ups and downs I sometimes wondered what would it mean if Trump get elected. Would “they” let him be elected? And if “they” did what would they have for us in store? And I had this feeling that something really big was coming and for this “they” needed Trump. Man of providence or doomsday?

I have a very serious question:

When Trump packs up his things and flies in his jet from New York City to Washington to move into the White House, can he put Romney on the roof in a dog carrier?

Score one for superstition!

I am pretty sure she knew she would not win or at least her handlers knew for at least 12 days.

Obama, Comey, Putin, Berney… So many blameworthy people out there! When at the end of the day Hillary was a bad candidate (zero enthusiasm) who ran a bad campaign.

I suspect the Democrats may have had a winner in Bernie. But no.

Weeping Hillary supporters for your Schadenfreude

Honestly, I’d say the opposite. He flew by the seat of his pants and pulled out a victory. People are angry about PC and globalization, and he ran on that. Hillary doesn’t have much charisma, so she wasn’t able to stop him. He used his intuition to sense themes that were being ignored and ran with them.

As Nobel-prize winning Bob Dylan called it:

Le Pen will almost certainly win the 1st round in April 2017 with around 30% of the vote (perhaps a bit higher). It all depends on who comes in 2nd, as in May there will be a “play off” between the top two vote getters. Most likely it will be the the “conservative” UMP (the party of Sarkozy and Alain Juppé, who is probably the front-runner in next month’s primary). In this case, as in 2002 when Le Pen’s father made it into the 2nd round against the conservative Chirac, the socialists will hold their nose and vote overwhelmingly for the UMP candidate (Chirac won the 2nd round with 82%). However, if the Socialists were to come in 2nd in the 1st round, a large number of UMP voters would back (albeit not publicly) Le Pen in the 2nd round, probably enough for her to win.

So realistically the only way for her to win is to conjure a scenario where the Socialists come in 2nd in the 1st round (strategic voting, perhaps, but this would probably be difficult to organize).

Slate wins for funniest headlines.

I’m guessing TD is gonna go curl up back under Huffpost for another 4 years.

In view of Gov. Jerry Brown’s Canoe Theory of Politics,
I think it’s healthy for the Office of President to alternate
between the Democrats and the Republicans. Jerry said,
“You paddle a little on the left and little on the right, and
you paddle a straight course.” Jerry Brown was once a
Jesuit novice, then majored in the classics, so I’m sure
he knows his Aristotle. The canoe theory is basically
Aristotle’s prescription for the good life – in all things
adhere to a happy medium

And perhaps also the question of whether Scott Adams was nuts for claiming such certainty that Trump would win.

I held out hope and James Comey gave Trump a lasting boost when he said he had to examine new (Wiener) evidence. So I gave DJ Trump optimistic 50-50 odds on the basis that the pollsters were having a very difficult time getting accurate results. Big fake out on the Democrat/Media echo chamber, mutual back slapping society! That thinks they are better than the rest of America, we deplorables. Look at the shamelessly *Konformist* Hollywood actors and musicians who bleated non-stop for Hillary. Non-stop social signaling slobs and snobs! They intimidated any Trump supporting artists to come out and declare for Trump. A big eff you to them! Especially Bruce Springsteen, who I have not liked for 20 years anyway.

Dems will be bitching about James Comey for years. Trump will keep him.

I am aware of the raw political calculations as they stood 7 November. I wondering if there could be a political shift of the mindset of the average voter. That is that they defy what the media tells them to do and think, or if it will be business as usual which would mean Len will not win.

Sheesh. I thought Slate was bad. Check out Huffpost.

Ridiculous nonsense like a graph showing a drop in the Dow from~ 18.3k to 18k, and calling it Markets fall off a cliff.

‘Experts’ predicting gloom and doom with no end.

I’m sure about the only gloom and doom which actually does come about, will be the efforts of disgruntled Dems trying to make a Trump presidency look bad.

Eye of Sauron is spinning in his iron lung bedding tonight…

He wired more than $45.000.000, and all he got was a lousy, Pyrrhic victory over 84 year old Arpaio .

The roots of Arpaio’s downfall go back to 2010 when Arizona, a GOP bastion, passed a state bill known as SB 1070 which introduced sweeping restrictions on those suspected of lacking documentation – a proto-Trumpism.

Latinos responded by building a coalition of veteran protestors, devout Christians and media-savvy millennials. It registered voters and started eroding Arpaio’s traditional landslide victories.

“We’ve been building and building,” said Petra Falcon, who founded Promise Arizona, part of a 14-member umbrella group, One Arizona, which registered more than 150,000 voters for this election.

The group mounted a statue of the Virgin of Guadalupe on a truck bedecked with US flags and a speaker which traversed Phoenix on Tuesday booming exhortations: “Vamos a votar.”

Outside money has also poured into Arpaio’s race for re-election, as his detractors have sensed a chance to finally unseat him. The philanthropist and financier George Soros invested $2m into the Super Pac Maricopa Strong to pay for a series of TV attack ads on the sheriff.

And then,on top of that, your Instagram account instantly switches to auto-defacing setting;

Hillary doesn’t have much charisma, so she wasn’t able to stop him. He used his intuition to sense themes that were being ignored and ran with them.

Trump should gone about Hillary’s character and that she is temperamentally unfit to be President in numerous ways. Such as Benghazi and setting at least three MidEast nations on fire. Backing the extremist Muslim brotherhood in Egypt. Such as her being low-energy, same as Jeb.
Saying directly that (actually) it is Hillary who is temperamentally unfit to be President, such setting up secret email servers and not trying to rescue Ambassador Chris Stevens when the three AM phone call came. That she slept through it.

Turning the country around in a positive way is much better vindication than going on a vicious vendetta.

He has 8 years. The inertia inherent in the government will not be changed quickly. He can execute some fiat governance just as every president since Truman has. But he has only 8 years and he cannot by himself reverse the white decline in reproduction. He can halt the immigration from the south and from MENA easily and within his executive authority … no need for the House or the Senate to get involved. Since it appears that the senate now requires 60 votes to agree to a piss break, he can not count on any help or much harm from them.

On a lighter note – I’ve read that women were already getting plastic
surgery to look like Ivanka Trump. This is now gonna go through the
roof!

This was the best election day since 1994 when the R’s won the House for the first time in 40 years and Mario Cuomo got beat seeking his fourth term as Governor by a nobody.

Live by corruption, die by corruption. She should have just enjoyed her $200M ill gotten proceeds of treason and corruption, but it wasn’t good enough.

“This is what genuinely gets to me, there are some that define the West as liberal democracy, when the fact is that for most its history there was certainly no democracy or liberalism”

Yup. According to the UK elites “British values” are gay rights and feminism – when for all but the last 50 years of British history the former was illegal and the latter was a very tiny minority interest.

They’re hysterical at the FT – Alphaville editor and ex-Guardianista Paul Murphy is throwing the ‘fascist’ word around like a good-un. I’ll have to find the post-pussygate column where he says ‘that’s it – Trump’s gone” in the style of the famous Onion piece.

http://www.theonion.com/article/will-be-end-trumps-campaign-says-increasingly-nerv-52002

“Maybe Biden just didn’t want it enough?”

I guess he had to want it more than Hillary, which is pretty tough to do. I think Sanders could and probably would have beaten Trump, but the donor class who control the DNC weren’t having it.

Honourable people live up to their promises.
Madonna promised to reward verifiable Hillary voters with some … consensual adult behaviour. She has already reneged.
Whoppi promised to immigrate. If she has any honour she will.
Miley Cyrus, Amy Schumer, Chelsea Handler, Lena Dunham, Samuel L. Jackson is moving to South Africa, Chloe Sevigny , Babs Streisand, Ruth Bader Ginsburg ( who if she follows through and emigrates to New Zealand will give Trump another Supreme Court opening to fill), Cher, George Lopez, Bryan Cranston ( the results broke bad for him ) Jonathan Leibowitz, Barry Diller, Spike Lee, Amber Rose ( recently on Dancing with the Disturbed), Raven-Symone.
By my math, this is a net positive for the USA if these people show that they are indeed people of their word. Imagine an evenings TV without Sam Jackson wanting to know what’s in your pocket. Imagine a daytime without the ladies who chat.

That’s a good list. Also Bannon and Breitbart, Coulter, Farage, Pat, Derb, Unz, Sessions, Miller, the commentariat here, and the reddit crew which is now so big it is an institution practically.

It’s pretty amazing. Everyone pitched in. We were our own ground game! I just can’t believe it. Brexit, now Trump. We’ve bought ourselves some time. Love all of you genuine guys and gals (?) here. This has been a daily (hourly?) routine of my life, and it feels like I have made some small difference in a huge, stupendous result.

I hope with this lead we can change some of the culture. Education. TV. Movies. Media. The Eurosphere.

He could but first he would have to buy a dog carrier as Donald does not have a dog.

“How did the journalists’ propagandists’ crusade fail?”It appears propaganda needs to be supported with physical force. There hasn’t been enough firings and denunciations of deplorables and, there hasn’t been enough violence towards them, to instill doublethink in the majority.

Charisma:

Donald Trump is a charismatic person.
That is, people who know him like him.

On the other hand, Hillary Clinton is a charismatic leader.
That is, people who know her fear her.

Better that he pardon Hillary (or simply not prosecute) but go after the reams of corruption that exist within the federal bureaucracies.

Just shows how long you can coast on one lucky prediction dressed up as Science. Like William Goldman said about Hollywood, “Nobody knows anything”.

http://dailycaller.com/2016/10/12/email-suggests-biden-aide-sabotaged-his-presidential-aspirations-to-help-hillary/

Yes. Fox News drones were talking about this as the results came in. Britt Hume commented on the emergence of white racial consciousness (not in those terms). Some Democrat POS whined that whites were starting to act like minority groups vis a vis voting behavior. No Sher Shitlock — WTF did these idiots think was going to happen when they made whites a minority? The graphics showing the Ohio River Valley and Wisconsin’s rusty places changing from solid blue to solid red were awe-inspiring.

Stupid Allegheny County, PA staying blue. Next time . . .

It is hard to feel pity for someone who has been avaricious, corrupt, mendacious, and incompetent for over 30 years. Truly an evil b***h.

Yeah. Shatner is famously delusional. Doohan is famously delusional in more interesting ways, though.

Now will he prosecute and jail Hillary?

Nah. It’s not nice to beat up on sick old ladies.

It’s 9 a.m. as I write this … Hillary is due to speak in 90 minutes. Supposedly she was too distraught to leave her hotel room.

God, I would have loved to have been a fly in that room. I’ll bet she was cursing like a sailor.

I don’t think so. Clinton people were so inside their bubble that they really thought that she was going to win. The polls were all wrong because voters didn’t want to admit to Juanita and Abdul the pollsters on the phone that they were voting for Trump.

I hope we don’t regret our choice.
At any rate this deals a death blow to dynastic politics of the Bush/Clinton variety.
The first law to be passed should forbid any family members of a President from coming anywhere near the Executive Branch.
So we don’t see Trump Jr., or Michelle O., vying for the office.
This is true republicanism.

But, but, but, …………………… how could this be? How could she lose? Even Katy Perry supported her!

The media had recreated reality in it’s own image, and it was a cruel joke to play on all of those crying Democrats.

I’d like to understand why the polls were off. One possibility is the shy trump voter effect, but another is that the pollsters’ model of who would go to the polls was badly off. Still another possibility is that for some reason, Trump voters were less willing to answer surveys. You could imagine the explanation bing widespread vote fraud, though I think we’d have heard a lot about it if it had happened. What else?

Finally I can delete everyone in my “Commenters to Ignore” cookie!
Sorry guys, it just got too leedle much of you this last month.

She’s very ill. Probably on one of those “down times” from her neurological disease.
I not only predicted Trump would win, I also predicted Hillary would be dead within a year. Wanna bet?

Of course the markets react badly, The Banksters bought and paid for political whore just got beaten.

I’d love to see what Google had prepared for the Hillary victory.

Man! First, Trump wins the presidency!

Then, Steve runs my observation about Google being “speechless” in a victory round-up post!!

What a day! And it’s only 9 o’clock!

Thanks again for an amazing run this year on iSteve.

About half the media is going to be writing articles like this over the next few months—all in attempts to blame other media folks while claiming that they themselves never were so dismissive of the concerns of the Trumpers and never were hateful towards them, that was the other reporters.

Lexis is going to be a very useful tool whenever one of these comes out.

Perhaps pollsters tend to favor Democrats (as journalists do), and consequently skew thier product accordingly (as journalists do).

I actually think things are far more likely to go our way thanks to Trump.

Brexit was great, but the UK could be isolated (I expected a Clinton presidency to put real pressure on London to reverse the peoples’ verdict — that is now off the table).

The US is too damn big to be isolated. If Brexit emboldened people somewhat, I think Trump’s victory will embolden them by a factor of one hundred. His victory was far less expected, far more explicit and because of the size of the US, more consequential.

There’s still some truth in the claim that where France goes, so goes Europe (the British are regarded, not entirely unfairly, as cantankerous, isolationist islanders).

And let’s not forget, the French Revolution followed events in the US — even if very differently…

So, bon chance, Marine.

A lot of credit is due to Sundance et al. at The Conservative Treehouse—superb analysis and forethought, and shoring up the troops—and to the centipedes at Reddit’s The Donald for Pepe and for digging into the WikiLeaks email dumps. Also Bill Mitchell on Twitter for calming jitters about the polling, and admin at Hillaryis44 for being so damn smart and honest.

They were off because the MSM pollsters were simply lying to try to achieve their preferred outcome:

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2016/11/09/an-important-post-election-message-about-media-polling/#more-124342

Dude, you need to read Unz’s American Pravda series.

Oops! Good luck getting that money back.

Intuition plus he paid a staffer to listen to what callers were saying on talk radio. Market research.

The simple explanation is that polling orgs are part of the MSM and employ the same kind of dishonest/delusional people that fill newsrooms and studios. Both are in the business of manufacturing facts rather than reporting them.

Primarily, cheating. Bill Mitchell on Twitter deconstructed their dishonesty all along, from small sample sizes to blatant reweighting of the categories. If you can see the composition of the poll sample, you can see how the trick was done. Thanks to him, I ignored all the polls.

Paul Ryan must be got rid off.

This. It’s so delicious that Trump won after Ryan refused to help. Perfect. Now Trump can organize to get this open-borders fanatic replaced as Speaker.

Trump just spiked the severed heads of his enemies in the end zone. Big Media, the globalists, the Democrat Party, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, the RCP Average and its constituency, Nate Silver, Republicans Against Trump, the neocons, Paul Ryan and John McCain, etc.

He could tamp down any talk of a rebellion against House Speaker Paul Ryan — and give Ryan a green light to move ahead with his agenda.

Why would he do that? Ryan picked the wrong team. Now he can either come to Jesus, or fall under the Trump Train.

It was really great to watch Trump lay bare the limitations of Big Media, the Democrat Machine, globalist money, and the GOPe.

Thank you for that, president Trump.

But when the previous jackass breaks with tradition and paddles a lot to the left, instead of a little, then balance dictates it’s time to paddle a lot to the right.

Evidence for the theory that the poll weighting was an important issue (see the Ernie Tedeschi link): http://election.princeton.edu/2016/10/19/the-virtues-of-the-l-a-times-poll/

I also think the shy Trump voter effect mattered.

But overall, I think the biggest contributor was the pollsters attempting to influence reality. I think the best evidence for that was the vehemence of the attacks on Nate Silver when he gave Trump a 35% chance close to the election. From this POV the poll weighting was just a justification for their desired conclusion.

I’m really curious if this election will change polling practices in the future. Was this the biggest presidential poll miss since Dewey beat Truman?

“No. It is actually a tacit victory for white identity politics.”

Um, no. Hillary underestimated the support of a key demographic in her base–the working class and the union class. These two groups had supported Bernie in the primaries. She thought they would support her come the general election. They chose the populist who is deemed the savior to their economic woes from elites, who ironically Trump is part of.

Hillary is holed up in a hyperbaric chamber with a box of tissues, a case of Chardonnay, and a long, sharp sewing needle which she is slowly but unceasingly inserting into a certain appendage of her Anthoney Weiner voodoo doll.

This has also been a repudiation of GOPe/Bush Republican Party. Not only did Trump whup them all (Bush included of course) in the primaries, he also racked up far more electoral votes than Bush did.

“Not populism. Citizenism? Or just People-ism?”

No, Americanism.

“By the way, perhaps Trump’s Treasury Secretary could announce that Andy Jackson is staying on the $20 and Harriet Tubman will replace Hamilton on the $10?”

Yes!

Google speechless. Ha! If only Trump were some person of color no one’s ever heard of.

Maybe Trump can undo Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing. That’s a total thorn in my side and makes me despair for my neighborhood and community.

And whose interests Trump “ironically” steamrolled to win the presidency. You’d think leftists could get behind the idea that a man isn’t in control of the circumstances of his birth, but only his behavior.

She’ll be dead within a twelvemonth.

The question is, How will we tell?

“In all things, moderation.” Basic wisdom our ancient forefathers knew since before recorded history, yet progressives seem so intent on denying or not Noticing. Other good pieces of advice from olde times (that I’ve passed on to my kids):

1. The Ten Commandments
2. Try to practice the Seven Cardinal Virtues
3. Do what you can to avoid the Seven Deadly Sins
4. Practice the Golden Rule

A woman I met last week used to own a polling company. Her theory (before the election): while a poll of “likely voters” is usually more useful than a poll of “registered voters,” this year would be the exception. Disaffected white people who were non-voters in 2008 and 2012 would vote for Trump this year (she said) and they by definition were categorized as not being likely voters – and so were not counted by the pollsters.

The Canadian immigration website crashed last night:

http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/canadian-immigration-website-crashes-as-donald-trump-surges-w449468

Can I say I hope it was muslims?

“Not populism. Citizenism? Or just People-ism?”

No, Americanism.

No, Nationalism. A very clear victory for Nationalism over globalism.

We could even say it was a victory for (White) Nationalism. Yellows (65%), browns (65%), blacks (88%), and “other” (56%) all chose Hillary Clinton.

“Or, maybe historians and ‘social scientists’ will just be lazy and say ‘racists done it’.”

This.

If Google had a sense of humor, they could’ve at least had their logo adorned in an orange wig.

Savor The Night of the Long Faces.

Nice meme. These days in history:

Nov. 9 — Night of Broken Glass
Nov. 8 — Night of Unbroken Glass Ceiling
Nov. 7 — “Night on Broken Glass” libel damages award

HRC conceded on the day the Berlin Wall was opened, with her supporters (at the Javits center) literally standing under a glass ceiling.

It was a bizarre sight for me last night in San Mateo, across the street from the headquarters of a famous mutual fund operation, in a diner-style “American” restaurant full of white customers, no blacks, no asians. Election returns on the big screens and long, anguished faces all around.

Hopefully he will stick to his rhetoric and have a more Buchananite foreign policy, renegotiate trade deals, and end the contempt that has been shown for decades to the working class in this country.

I’m pretty sure that Bill Clinton voted for DJT in the privacy of his voting booth.

Golf beats marriage.

No war with Russia for the next 4 years; the Neo-cons will be crushed….The Orange One and Putin can negotiate what needs to be done in Syria.

Trump lost the popular vote. What he has now is hardly a mandate. I’m hoping he’ll try the things he said he wanted to, and that some of them will get through.

But this is a minor victory in a very major war. Examine the disposition of forces. There’s a lot of uphill pushing yet to be done.

” Both are in the business of manufacturing facts rather than reporting them.” – Exactly!

I suppose Clinton has the goods on Hussein, so he’ll probably pardon her. But it would be great if she didn’t, and he doesn’t.

Thing is, Clinton’s corruption is so widespread, it’ll be hard, if not impossible, for Hussein to immunize her via pardon.

Please, like the Dems didn’t cheat to get the PV win. Their cheating was easily more than her margin.

Trump won the popular vote, too.

Not that it really matters. We use the electoral system for good reason, precisely to limit the effect of vote fraud.

Um…calling it a “Night of the Long Knives” probably won’t get anything done. Better to treat Ryan like Stalin treated Bukarin and call it a Soviet style purge. Nancy Pelosi and Co would accept that terminology.

If anyone here has a line to Trump, or any of his advisors, I have a very serious suggestion for him. It looks like Joe Arpaio lost his election last night. I think he’d make an excellent choice for the head of ICE, or maybe even Attorney General.

A less serious suggestion, but one that would be much more fun:
Sarah Palin for Press Secretary. It comes with no real power, but I think she’d have a blast doing it. And the reaction of the press would bring tears to my eyes.

I guess the Hitler comparisons weren’t entirely wrong: Big Media = Maginot Line.

Like others, I hope Trump does Joe Arpaio a solid.

Turning the country around in a positive way is much better vindication than going on a vicious vendetta.

We can’t have both? 🙁

Personally, I think draining the swamp will look like both. He’s going to have to play hardball (e.g., refusing to sign paychecks) to clean up some of these federal institutions.

Perhaps pollsters tend to favor Democrats (as journalists do), and consequently skew thier product accordingly (as journalists do).

I think their thinking went something like this:

1. This is the age of Democrat inevitability. Demography is destiny. Big Media, oligarch class, political establishment (i.e., our customers) want to help Hillary more than they want honest augury.
2. Sure, we should probably re-evaluate our models, that have cankles performing like Hussein.
3. But I’ll be damned if I’m gonna do that for Trump.
4. The media will cover us if Trump wins.
5. EVERYBODY is getting it wrong, so the blame will be spread around (hence the foaming-at-the-mouth at Nate “least wrong in 2016” Silver).

Yeah, #2. They weren’t motivated to fix their math, question their assumptions. Much better to let America be shocked on election day, than give aid and comfort to the Trumpehfuhrer.

One thing to keep in mind is that the way this election played out, Trump’s support is far more solid than the numbers would normally show. Each and every voter who went out there and pulled the lever for Trump is a solid Trump voter who figured he’d rather lose with his guy, than win with cankles.

Whoops, that was me Steve, forgot to sign.

The people who predicted (relatively) large black male swing for Trump were right. In fact, aside from the particulars of the EV, the Trumpers here were pretty much right about everything.

Trump supporters are very good looking.

Svigor,

At about 3 AM this morning, a couple of NPR commentators observed/predicted that Paul Ryan’s future was “toast”!

This was one of the few times in my life that I ever agreed with any NPR comments/predictions!!!!

No doubt we will here lots of whining again about the electoral college from the poor losers.

Perhaps they will be willing to get rid of winner-takes-all states around EC votes and move to a district-based approach for all states, but I doubt it.

If no one else has said it…

I, for one, welcome our new amphibian overlords!

This was the annunciation:

In our household we’ve been referring to it these past 20 or so weeks as the Kobiyashi Maru Scenario.

Where was I? Just like Hillary: Drunk.

It was election night, after all.

So it turns out my predictions were wrong, even though they were based on the best scientific polling. And I feel terrible about it.

Just kidding! I feel great about it. #MAGA

“Maybe Trump can undo Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing.”

Orrrrr … use it against the Left. Give them some of that diversity they claim to love. AFFH in Chappaqua, Palo Alto, Austin, Madison WI, Marin County, every deep blue lily white county needs AFFH.

Government-sponsored red pilling FTW! Yes, Podesta, let us make demographics be destiny! Bwahahahahha!

Actually, last night Trump was up slightly in pop vote, but over the coming days the blue machines will manufacture a few hundred thousand “found” votes so that they can make exactly the claim you are making: “no mandate”.

Of course, Bill Clinton never managed to get even to Trump’s percentage of the popular vote and we all remember the media constantly said he had “no mandate”.

… oh wait, that didn’t happen!

“Hillary underestimated the support of a key demographic in her base–the working class and the union class.”

Those aren’t her demographic. She repudiated them when she embraced Black Lives Matter, police murderers’ families, the War on (White) Men, etc.

She did not “underestimate”, she betrayed and murdered that demographic. They just returned the favor. Hillary is now History.

A more intelligent elite would draw a lesson from this. Contrary to what you’ve been told, our elite is remarkably stupid. They will probably have to be put down. For their own safety.

To adapt the old liberal saw:

It will be a great day when Unz.com gets the all recognition it deserves, and the MSM has to hold a bake sale to buy a broadcast license.

If he’s “got rid of”, it just means he picks up an easy seven-figure job in the East Coast Axis of Evil.

Better to keep him in Congress, put him on a leash and make him Trump’s b*tch.

As I posted in the other thread, he especially lost the votes of veterans; you know, the WW1 vets, the Spanish-American War vets, the Civil War vets, etc.

The shocker is Google. What? SOME kind of animation is called for. No crying Mexican babies and suffering lesbians in hairshirt shifts, loading cotton bales on them riverboats? How about Mel Gibson pinning on a Nazi armband and winking. Slate is telling us what Trump will do to the planet – the PLANET! – after all. Even cliche’ of an octopoid Deplorable spreading tenacles of fascism around a withered globe. HAVE THEY GOBBLED THE SKITTLES, TOO?!!!!

Let’s say that’s true. A slight popular majority still isn’t the same thing as ‘mandate’.

Perhaps I heard incorrectly, but I was told that lots and lots of Republicans were either retained or voted into office yesterday. The Republican machine hasn’t been interested in supporting Trump, and has been trying to undercut him at every available opportunity.

Trump’s biggest obstacles aren’t going to be coming from the Democrats, but from what’s nominally his own side.

Perhaps the banks could recoup some of their losses by taking out a dead peasant life insurance policy on Clinton. One years premium should do it.

No, Obama will pardon her.

That would appear too partisan and reopen too much division.

If anyone is going to pardon Hillary, it would Trump. He’s already starting to give her a soft pardon, being nice, talking reconciliation, etc. Maybe it comes down to nuisance prosecution, some fines, in the back pages for a while for dedicated Clinton-haters, but the rest of us will move on.

I’m undecided whether he will give her a formal pardon. I tend to think not, that stamps a label on her by the victor, so probably just soft pardon. If anyone tries going after her too hard during Trump presidency, he can always pardon her at any time and just the threat of that alone can shut things down.

Trump got elected running on Sailer’s brain.

I said virtually the same thing to a friend in an IM not two hours ago. Of course, I descended to the cliche of calling the bureaucracy a “target rich environment.” Especially the IRS. I think gutting and skinning also appeared in my remarks.

The Republicans don’t have much of a machine, which has been one of their perennial problems as a party.

Some Recucks have indeed tried to undercut Trump, but today even Ryan admitted that the down ticket R performance beat expectations only due to the Trump effect.

No doubt Recucks persist. And as Cicero noted, the traitor is more dangerous than the enemy at the gates. But last night vindicated Trump and discredited Recucks, the big media and the Dems. The game is now Trump’s to lose.

The losers will try to obscure their failure by chanting “no mandate”. But they didn’t do it 1992-2000, and we shouldn’t let them get away with it now.

Madonna has been such a yuuge disappointment! She isn’t leaving the country but she’s not giving free blow jobs for the needy Democrats either! She’s no lady. Not that I would touch her with Tiny Duck’s appendage…

What about Romney and Lindsey Graham?

See my earlier post.

Americanism is nationalism for Americans

Not necessarily bad advice…but he won anyway, right?

You can’t “pardon” her if she’s never been convicted.
Let it lie (Until Trump takes office) , continue the “ongoing” investigation, jail her and Slick Willie.
All those e-mails the DOJ is holding, and said it would take 5 years to study.
Get rid of all the cabinet level black panthers, then do what should have been done years ago.

Do you have any insights to share into what was by far the Libertarian Party’s best ever performance?

It looks like Joe Arpaio lost his election last night. I think he’d make an excellent choice for the head of ICE, or maybe even Attorney General.

At 84, those two might be a bit of a leap from career sheriff, though.

How about a ‘Southern Wall Task Force’, with Joe Arpaio as honorary Southern Wall Czar?

Might be nearer to his heart in fact, and more satisfying than wrestling with a monster like ICE.

And Drudge. He was a big help too

“Um, no. Hillary underestimated the support of a key demographic in her base–the working class and the union class. These two groups had supported Bernie in the primaries. She thought they would support her come the general election. They chose the populist who is deemed the savior to their economic woes from elites, who ironically Trump is part of.

You are – unsurprisingly – completely wrong. The subtext of whites finally beginning to stick up for thier own interests was not hard to detect in the last 20 months, even if it went largely unsaid. As to Trump being an elite. So what? Everybody in government is an elite, or becomes one. The revelant question is whether that elite has a sense of noblesse oblige, which Trump does, and Hillary does not.

“Do you have any insights to share into what was by far the Libertarian Party’s best ever performance?”

Weed, Dude! Weed! They are finally delivering on something.

““By the way, perhaps Trump’s Treasury Secretary could announce that Andy Jackson is staying on the $20 and Harriet Tubman will replace Hamilton on the $10?””

Instead of Harriet Tubman, make it Booker T. Washington.

Sailer influenced Coulter. Coulter wrote a book which influenced Trump on immigration. Trump tacked immigration concerns onto his longstanding concerns about trade and interventionism and voila, winning campaign. Two degrees from Sailer to Trump. Huge thanks from this reader.

Romney is retired. Let him stay thus.

Lindsey Graham … hmmm … how about outing him from the closet?

“You can’t ‘pardon’ her if she’s never been convicted.”

That’s what I thought too, but remember Ford pardoned Nixon, though Nixon was not convicted of anything and steadfastly denied any wrongdoing. OTOH, that was at the beginning of Ford’s term of office, so maybe it was more of a “prosecution pre-emption” than a true pardon, i.e., Ford was indicating that he would pardon any conviction, so there was no point in prosecuting. Because Ford still had a couple of years left in office, this deterrent was credible.

Why can’t we have both? Those who paid money to beat up Trump supporters need to face justice.

Why should Tubman replace anyone? Why shouldn’t that hare-brained idea die with the rest of Obama’s failed legacy?

“Americanism is nationalism for Americans.”

Which are whites, blacks, Asians, and Native Americans, from a wide swath of ethnic groups and countries, who have been citizens or are becoming citizens. It’s always worked that way.

“Those aren’t her demographic. She repudiated them when she embraced Black Lives Matter, police murderers’ families, the War on (White) Men, etc.”

But they were Sanders demographic. And, no, there is no “war on white men”.

“She did not “underestimate”, she betrayed and murdered that demographic. They just returned the favor. Hillary is now History.”

Remember, this group supported Obama for 8 years. Again, its the message.

“A more intelligent elite would draw a lesson from this. Contrary to what you’ve been told, our elite is remarkably stupid. They will probably have to be put down. For their own safety.”

Don’t be silly, you’re not going to get anyone to “put down the elite”, considering that Trump is an elitist.

“The subtext of whites finally beginning to stick up for thier own interests was not hard to detect in the last 20 months, even if it went largely unsaid.”

Working class whites stuck up for their own financial interests, as evident by their support for Sanders in the primaries and Obama during his term. It was not about their “whiteness”.

“As to Trump being an elite. So what? Everybody in government is an elite, or becomes one.”

No, not everyone in government becomes an elite. You’re being obtuse, per usual.

“The revelant question is whether that elite has a sense of noblesse oblige, which Trump does, and Hillary does not.”

Trump does for now. Will he follow through with offering white working families their fair share of gimmedats.

“Americanism, not globalism, will be our credo.” –DJT

And thank God for that.

A majority of Johnson’s votes were Never-Trumpers, with some Bernouts thrown in. The Republican party has room to grow when the holdouts realize Trump is not Buffoon Hitler.

And, no, there is no “war on white men”.

It’s always worked that way?

Nope. Wrong. Just wrong.

Americanism is nationalism for Americans

Don’t like it. Could just as easily be a term for Ellis-Island crap, invade-the-world/invite-the-world, kumbayah PC BS.

Nationalism, that gives ’em shivers.

“Americanism is nationalism for Americans.”

Which are whites, blacks, Asians, and Native Americans, from a wide swath of ethnic groups and countries, who have been citizens or are becoming citizens. It’s always worked that way.

See what I mean? Shitbird Corvinus loves it.

Let’s face it, America will always be contested territory, insofar as it isn’t white. It would be like multicult-izing Japan; the Japanese would always be a threat to take back what was theirs. Obviously strife and war are leftist goals, but everyone else should know better.

Whites conquered and tamed this land, and created this country (really a union of countries, but, I digress).

The world for the world, and the west for the world, it’s obscene on its face, and eventually doomed to failure.

Make peace, not war; avoid diversity.

Your articles demonstrate anger and hostility among white men by Coalition of the Left Fringe groups, stoked by Coalition of the Right Fringe elitists. It’s a power play by extremists.

“It’s always worked that way? Nope. Wrong. Just wrong.”

You must have been asleep in American history class. Read your de Crèvecœur and de Tocqueville.

The only one sleeping in history class was you.

Look up the first naturalization act, the Chinese Exclusion Act and so on.

Citizenship was restricted to whites.

Again, you’re just wrong.

Dred Scott and associated cases are also relevant as to whether non-whites could be, or were, citizens. But the limits of things like the Exclusion Act are spot on.

“But they were Sanders demographic. …
this group supported Obama for 8 years.”

Relevance?

Mostly these people haven’t been voting. In the past they voted for Reagan and Nixon.

Anyway, none of these people is Hillary, so what’s your point?

“Don’t be silly, you’re not going to get anyone to ‘put down the elite’”

They just got put down from the White House.

“And, no, there is no ‘war on white men’”

Live your own dream, dude.

Not always worked that way…

Naturalization Act of 1790
… any alien, being a free white person, who shall have resided within the limits and under the jurisdiction of the United States for the term of two years, may be admitted to become a citizen thereof, … and making proof to the satisfaction of such court, that he is a person of good character

————————————

Oregon state constitution
… No free negro, or mulatto, not residing in this State at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall come, reside, or be within this State

“Look up the first naturalization act, the Chinese Exclusion Act and so on. Citizenship was restricted to whites. Again, you’re just wrong.”

Citizenship HAD BEEN restricted to ethnic groups who were white. The two acts you listed were NOT the end all and be all when it came to setting criteria for citizenship. Are you aware that federal legislation also limited Germans, the Irish, the Italians, and the Greeks–you know, whites–because they were deemed undesirable? Legislation reflects the times. You do realize laws are able to be changed, correct?

Moreover, you definitely were dozing off in American history. Otherwise, you would be aware of United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898). The Supreme Court ruled that a child born in the United States of Chinese citizens, who had at the time a permanent domicile and residence in the United States and who were carrying on business there other than for the Chinese government, automatically became a U.S. citizen. This decision established an important precedent in its interpretation of the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Dred Scott was superseded by the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and by the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.

Are you that historically illiterate?

Laws reflected the attitudes and times of a society. What you listed are relics. They are not relevant today given that legislation and amendments have obliterated them.

Are you that historically illiterate?

I think we can safely conclude that Corvinus is a moron.

Clearly you dozed off in English class, too, as the term you used was “always.”

Your words: “It’s always worked that way.”

Now kindly cease and desist bothering us with your historical illiteracy and poor command of the English language.

Thank you.
