Eli Lake on how the Democrats can rebuild. Is Qatar really kicking Hamas out? Joe Nocera with a TDS update. Plus: Elon, Vivek, Huckabee, and others tapped by Trump.
Thanks for the heads up. Hard pass on reading about Nocera’s former Trump Derangement Syndrome. Nobodody but Joe N, his psychiatrist and - maybe - his wife give shiite about his mental makeup.
Eli just skipped over two important things that decided the 2024 election. One, immigration - the Democrats thought letting 10 million unvetted people come into the country was going to be acceptable to the American people. And two, the cultural policies of the left were so drastic, the trans ideological indoctrination of our kindergarteners complete with drag show storyhour. The plight of our working class is primary always, hand in hand with the health of the economy. But it is going to take a bit more reconfiguration for the Dems to explain those two policy disasters.
TDS is not a real thing. It was invented by people who, embarrassed about supporting a career criminal, needed to offload their feelings onto someone else. No, I am neither a Democrat nor a liberal. I'm like a lot of paleoconservatives who dislike the idea of a grifter and serial sexual predator representing our country....
The people who like the population replacement program as it is in much of Europe and in North America want us to believe that opposition to poorly managed immigration is "extremist" or "far right". Apparently, that labeling is so we won't pay attention to the opposition that tries to get the population replacement program administered responsibly.
On the TDS sex strike, etc. I love it when you all poke fun at the news, but something isn’t news just because it’s funny. Is this seriously happening in any kind of numbers or is it just like 90 angry women on TikTok? The difference matters!
The left is still crazy over the top, IMHO, especially the women. I think I can say that as a woman myself. I think we moderates and conservatives are the ones who need to arm ourselves against their mental breakdown. If you look at the election map, I think it's clearly evident that the majority of Americans did not support the Dems agenda and it's laughable how they are now crying election fraud. IMO, Trump did win in 2020. I think Covid set the stage for the perfect steal back in 20. AND LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST, I am SO GLAD Kamala lost big time. Our government needs to be cleaned out big time.
In 2020, Trump got 74,223,975 votes and lost to Biden, who had 81,283,501 votes. In 2024, Trump had about a million more votes at 75,162,950, and handily beat Kamala, who had 71,819,593 votes. Assuming that a million Biden voters switched to Trump, what happened to the other nine million Democrat votes? Was Kamala so unpopular with her own party that these folks stayed home? Maybe. Or was the 81 million vote total for Biden fabricated? I can't prove fraud or that Trump won in 2020, but I'll never believe Biden got 81 million legitimate votes. As the song says, "81 Million Votes My Ass."
It has gone very wrong for Germany, of late. Cheap Russian gas has proven to be very expensive. The closing of Germany’s nuclear power plants was a big mistake. Germany has not handled the rise of China very well. Mass immigration has not worked out well for Germany. Echoes of the GFC are still hurting Germany. The worst problem (for Germany) is the unwillingness to change.
As for digitalization, this is something I know about. I personally use several pieces of software written in Germany. They are quite good.

"Journalists in the legacy press spent two years reporting on a conspiracy theory--that Trump had been installed by the Russian government--and won Pulitzers for their work."
This reminds me that the English-born comedian/actress/singer (etc.) Tracey Ullman once did some funny sketches that featured the "Melania Bot", in which Melania Trump was really a robot planted by the Russians to spy on and influence President Donald Trump. Here is a sample, in which the bot starts malfunctioning and its Russian handlers travel to America to try to fix it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmuR2XFxkdU
Trump’s admin is filled with the most Pro-Israel, anti-Islamist cabinet in American history. Hegseth, Rubio, Tulsi, Zeldin, Stefanik, Budnick, Kash Patel, Radcliffe,Witkoff, and though I’m not crazy about them- Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Matt Gaetz. Ric Grenell will have a spot, too.
The Iranian people will be able to overthrow the regime and Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, Taliban, Al Qaeda, UNRWA, UNESCO… the money supply dried up, are over. The Palestinians will have no choice but to come to the table.
In a perfect scenario, we’d completely withdraw from the UN, WEF, WHO , defund the Ivy Leagues, ban NGOs and takedown all the traitors within the U.S.
Qatar isn’t shutting out Hamas. They’re retracted the statement.., if they ever issued it to begin with. Trump’s admin will isolate and shut down Qatar altogether.
“And though she was (wrongly!) canceled for it, comedian Kathy Griffin best summed up the cultural moment when she posed for a photoshoot holding up the president’s (fake) bloody, severed head.” “Wrongly??” Seriously?
Anyone not armed should do themselves a favor and get a gun and learn at least the basics of how to shoot it. This is true at all times, not just during a Presidential transition. If this is what it takes for gun-hating city elite to go out and buy a gun, I am all for it.

This sort of works for me. It's just one less chore to do.

In at least some of he accounts we read, some of the story of the Amsterdam soccer riots is withheld or hidden in pile of verbiage. https://www.stevesailer.net/p/the-amsterdam-soccer-riots
So, women denying sex, TDS and left wing crazies foaming and drooling?
Typical Wednesday, nothing to see here.
