Hopefully this will be the end of the GOP as we knew it... but I'm not holding my breath. American UprisingEverything is about to change.November 9, 2016, Daniel Greenfield This wasn’t an election. It was a revolution. It’s midnight in America. The day before fifty million Americans got up and stood in front of the great iron wheel that had been grinding them down. They stood there even though the media told them it was useless. They took their stand even while all the chattering classes laughed and taunted them. They were fathers who couldn’t feed their families anymore. They were mothers who couldn’t afford health care. They were workers whose jobs had been sold off to foreign countries. They were sons who didn’t see a future for themselves. They were daughters afraid of being murdered by the “unaccompanied minors” flooding into their towns. They took a deep breath and they stood. They held up their hands and the great iron wheel stopped. The Great Blue Wall crumbled. The impossible states fell one by one. Ohio. Wisconsin. Pennsylvania. Iowa. The white working class that had been overlooked and trampled on for so long got to its feet. It rose up against its oppressors and the rest of the nation, from coast to coast, rose up with it. They fought back against their jobs being shipped overseas while their towns filled with migrants that got everything while they got nothing. They fought back against a system in which they could go to jail for a trifle while the elites could violate the law and still stroll through a presidential election. They fought back against being told that they had to watch what they say. They fought back against being held in contempt because they wanted to work for a living and take care of their families. They fought and they won. www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/264771/american-uprising-daniel-greenfield

The time to unify is after we have forced them into surrender just like we did the Japanese in World War II. But the days of unifying with the losers because they're mad and we don't want the media saying mean things about us, they lost. And, folks, they have been losing since 2010. Obama would not have won his two elections were it not for his race. I am convinced that his approval numbers -- people say, "Rush, how can you say what you're saying. Obama's got 53% approval." No, he doesn't. His policies were unilaterally rejected in this election, folks. The presidency of Barack Obama was sent packing. That is exactly what was on the ballot, and we have with his own words if you recall. Part of his campaign -- his ego couldn't help it -- he's out there campaigning (imitating Obama), "My legacy is all about this. My issues are on the ballot. Hillary Clinton represents a continuation of everything and all the progress we made." What happened? A total repudiation. That 53% approval rating is because of his race and for other surface-oriented factors, but not substance. And they use that 53%, and I'm not even sure I believe that number. That number doesn't does make sense with the election results. The Democrat Party and the agenda of Barack Obama were entirely, totally repudiated in this election, as was the Democrat Party. It was a bloodbath. That is how bad it was. And what people are now learning, they didn't know just how bad it was on the Democrat side. All of our Never Trumpers and all of our wishy-washy RINOs are so self-absorbed with what's wrong in their own party and who's traitorous in their own movement that they were not paying attention to the real enemy -- in a political sense, of course -- and that's the Democrats and the left. And once you look at what has happened to them 2010, 2014, and Tuesday of this week, they have been sent packing. Their policies, the substance of what they tried to do, the substance of what they say they believe, things like Obamacare, the stimulus, various economic policy, it has all been repudiated, and not because of personality. It's because of substance.

market-ticker.org/post=231636Should You Let Bygones Be Bygones?Before you decide let me give you my perspective -- and decision. There are plenty of people out of the 59 million or so who voted for Hillary that didn't understand a thing about what she really stood for, or her record. This is properly chargeable against them, as it is utterly necessary before exercising the franchise to perform some sort of diligence, but there is a large difference between negligence and intent. But willful blindness or an intentional act is not negligence. That is especially true when we're talking about corporate actors, who do much more than cast a ballot or cry on social media -- they put the weight of their firms behind their proclamations, whether through huge political donations, public speechifying using their corporations as a means of amplifying their speech or acts that privilege one choice in voting over another. Those who are in the second category must not be forgiven; their acts were not only corrosive to our republic as intentional, leveraged acts they were far more damaging than even those who voted for Hillary for some puerile reason such as "because vagina" even while fully-aware that she broke felony laws on repeated occasions by intentionally mishandling classified information. These corporate actors include Starbucks, Facebook, CNN and many others. Among media outlets, whether social media or mainstream, it's even worse than when a CEO comes out and proclaims support (as was the case for Starbucks); those organizations intentionally slanted their presentation of "news" and censored opinions they did not agree with. Some of them haven't even stopped after the election; CNN, for example, ran a story disparaging Melania Trump on Wednesday long after the election was over. I'm not going to forgive any of them nor rescind my boycotts. When you announce such a thing and decide to do it you either mean it or you don't. The various mainstream press organs and CEOs do what they do in this regard because they're confident that even if you do stop shopping in their stores or you do stop patronizing their advertisers you will forgive them once the election is over and go back to whatever you used to do!

EPA, DOE Workers Post-Trump Election: ‘Employees Were in Tears,’ ‘Downright Panic’By Penny Starr | November 14, 2016 | 11:33 AM EST People who work at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Energy are having a hard time coping with the election of Donald Trump as president, with many reporting depression and some being advised to take sick leave, according to an article published Friday by Environment and Energy Publishing (E&E). “U.S. EPA employees were in tears,” the article stated. “Worried Energy Department staffers were offered counseling. “Some federal employees were so depressed, they took time off,” it stated. “Others might retire early. “And some employees are in downright panic mode in the aftermath of Donald Trump's victory,” the article said. John O’Grady, union boss for EPA workers, said people are “upset.” cnsnews.com/blog/penny-starr/epa-doe-workers-post-trump-election-employees-were-tears-downright-panic

11 Very Depressing Economic Realities That Donald Trump Will Inherit From Barack ObamaBy Michael Snyder, on November 15th, 2016 It would be a grave mistake to understate the amount of damage that has been done to the U.S. economy over the past eight years. In this article, I am going to share some economic numbers with you that are extremely sobering. Anyone that takes a cold, hard, honest look at the numbers should be able to see that our economy is in terrible shape. Unfortunately, the way that we see things is often clouded by our political views. Up until the election, Democrats were far more likely then Republicans to believe that the economy was improving, but now that is in the process of completely reversing. According to Gallup, only 16 percent of Republicans believed that the economy was getting better before the election, but that number has suddenly jumped to 49 percent after Trump’s election victory. And the percentage of Democrats that believe that the economy is getting better fell from 61 percent to 46 percent after the election. Here are some additional details from Gallup… theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/11-very-depressing-economic-realities-that-donald-trump-will-inherit-from-barack-obama

h/t WRSA kakistocracyblog.wordpress.com/2016/11/14/the-first-fight/The First FightElections are reliable greenhouses of lugubriosity. Every four years the losing side laments civilization’s now-certain demise, and then gets up and goes to work like every other morning (or at least spends their EBT funds in a typical manner). Most things don’t markedly change, or do so gradually enough that whites hardly notice they’ve been dispossessed. There’s a natural rhythm to the waves in an election’s wake. Democrat victories are accompanied by practically no conciliatory gestures to the other half of the country. There is instead a consistent advance of the left’s agenda and increasing foreign infusions to their voter rolls. But liberals could honestly say the same about the results of a Republican win: consistent advance of the left’s agenda and increasing foreign infusions to their voter rolls. No one has a monopoly on the moral high ground. So while all elections are critical to advancing liberalism and replacing the country’s founding stock, this one felt more urgent than any before. From my view, this is the first election where the faded sheen of principles and politics gave way to the bitter identity attacks that have always been veiled behind them. Liberals stopped hating conservatives and started hating whites. This has, of course, always been their modern motivating impulse; though in 2016 it became overt. Liberals agreed, “We’re all Tim Wise now.” For their part, conservatives finally began to realize that tribal conflict doesn’t evaporate no matter how much you ignore it. It doesn’t matter if you don’t care about race, when those other races do. And so despite the narcotic effects of bouncy-ball and Budweiser, even whites in higher latitudes began to sense the existential import of this election. It wasn’t about tax rates anymore. That’s why all of the gibbering over Trump’s temperament and lack of chivalry with the fairer sex came to nothing. National Review and the nevertrumps thought this was another game of bridge, while voters on both sides perceived it as war. And in the trenches no one gives a damn about niceties. In a homogenous society, cultured and genteel candidates can debate abstractions and decimal points. In a diverse society, multiple nations within one country fight bitterly for control of the state. This fight rarely remains limited to rhetoric. Which is another way of saying the now nightly arc of Molotov cocktails toward a militarized police cordon is “our strength.” If Trump doesn’t understand the underlying contours of this conflict, I’m hopeful his chief policy strategist Steve Bannon does. Given the hysterical flailing from the left at his appointment I like to think that faith isn’t overly optimistic. Trump needs both ears oriented far away from conciliatory cucktitude, and his mind kept firmly on strategic advancement. Does this strengthen my constituencies or weaken my opponents? should be the first question he asks himself before considering any issue. One of the first of his many battles will be on the field of Sanctuary Cities.

coldfury.com/2016/11/16/doubling-down-on-dumb/Doubling down on dumb Steyn on the lesson unlearned. The lesson of Tuesday night for Democrats should have been the thought Rush Limbaugh left his listeners with just before he signed off on Election Day back in 2000: “Maybe there are fewer of us than I thought…” The people who think like Andrew Sullivan and Sally Kohn and Emma Watson and John Oliver and Lena Dunham are, if not few in number, concentrated in relatively few corners of a sprawling country: one third of the Democrats’ representation in the House now comes from just three states – New York, Massachusetts and California. That’s one reason why they’re calling for the abolition of the Electoral College. But, absent the upending of the constitution, they have a problem. John Oliver and Stephen Colbert and Trevor Noah have sportingly decided, to judge from their ratings, to prioritize their politics over their comedy. But, whether or not “Love Trumps Hate”, condescension doesn’t trump anything. For a year-and-a-half they shoveled industrial-strength coastal sneering into the path of the Trump train on a scale that would have derailed any other candidate before he got to Iowa. Instead, Trump just bulldozed through it. If elite condescension failed to deny him the presidency, is it likely to be any more effective now that he is the president? It’s been little short of amazing to see the liberal media continuing to try to entrap Trump with lies just as they have all along, even after as resounding a repudiation as they got on election day. They’re just skating along as if they’re unaware a historic landslide just took place in spite of their best efforts to forestall it. Can it be possible that they don’t actually realize that their manipulation and deceit is a huge part of why he won in the first place? Can anybody really be that stupid?
