Election 2024

Tuesday, November 5, 2024 (Updated: Monday, September 21, 2026)

Post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure statement.

We’re finally here!

I said in my last podcast (Episode 75) that I was confident Trump would win. Nothing has changed my mind.




How are you doing?

Leave a comment and share your thoughts.

I’m watching Real America’s Voice tonight and plan on staying up until Trump speaks. I’ll be here to chat if anyone else wants to hang out.

    Yes, looking interesting although some swing states may drag this out. Would be awesome to see a huge win for Trump and Congress! Even in blue CO, it looks like ranked choice voting may fail. Even that would be a small victory for a blue state.

      That’s great about the ranked choice voting. I know that is really bad for any state that adopts it.

    “If they cheat, there is a zero percent chance that Trump, Elon Musk, RFK JR and Vance lay down and let it happen. Elon told us that this was our last chance to save America. Trump is not walking away this time. This is a zero-sum game and we all know it.”
    Pepe Lives Matter

    There will be no cheating this time. It was allowed last time to wake the country up. It’s not happening again.

      I hear it’s grim and quite at Harris “party” and people are leaving. So much “joy”! Would love not to see many of those people again.

    I’m staying in Waiting mode, after looking at the electoral map. Minnesota will probably go to Harris; there is a large reddish county that is holding back on its results, but there is a bigger blue county that is too. I can picture Michigan, Wisconsin, and Arizona all going to Harris as their larger cities weigh in and tip the scales. Democrats are online organizing ballot curing outreach, which I don’t remember seeing in previous elections.

    This is far, far closer than it ought to be.

    In my house we’ve been having fun comparing the sizes of Harris’ and Trump’s heads in the ABC election coverage…did you know that Harris is 6 foot 10 and a professional NBA player?

          CNN doesn’t want to show me the electoral college map with which states still have a lot of counting to do, and NPR doesn’t want to show me the popular vote totals.

          Trump lost Minnesota by 140,000, which is about half of what his shortfall was against Biden in 2020. Trump gained in 2024, and Harris failed to keep all of Biden’s voters–in Walz’s home state!

          I am starting to be happy, but Trump is going to have to move quickly, and my neighbors are not going to like it.

      I saw Bannon talking with Hoekstra about taking over the Michigan GOP for 7 months. It sounds like he has started whipping things into shape.

    And there is still a big faction of the grassroots precinct delegates that detest him. The grassroots is so fractured. Whoever orchestrated the chaos was sure successful. If MI goes Trump that might help things – I hope!

    Now, what’s next? What do the next 90 days look like? Will the Dems go nuts? Will they still go after him legally and for his head? He clearly won the electoral college and popular vote. No denying that. I can’t imagine them sitting back and doing nothing.

    General Flynn on X this morning:

    My counsel to everyone who reads this, listens to what I say, or gives a sh!t what I do, last nights victory was historic (YES!), but as in warfare, this was only the beginning of the long slog to achieving total victory.

    The best analogy is that we have seized the beachhead and have broken through the hedgerows into Normandy. I want everyone to understand, we have not achieved a “VE Day”, we are more like D-DAY+1. We have our beachhead, the troops are arriving in strength, with determined purpose, and a clear mandate.

    But now the real work of rooting out the evil infestation really begins. Removing the infiltrators, the bureaucratic systems and processes that infect decision making and do nothing to protect the safety and security of the American people along with many bureaucrats who wish nothing but ill will to our arriving troops.

    Sorry, not this time Obama. Fool us once, shame on us, try to fool us again, shame on you.

    Making America Great Again is our marching order and #WeThePeople are on the move.

    Lead, Follow, or Get the Hell Out of the Way!
