My daughter’s friend said her mom put on a black dress and cried in her bed all night on her shoulder. How cringe and insane is that?
Not so fast my friend--#DoNotConcedeKamala

Politics should be the last thing on a kids mind. The childless spinsters that control the education systems have infected the youth with their mind rot.
The parents are to blame just as much. It’s just insanity. I have family who have 2 daughters and a son that all are in different processes of transition. That’s not a coincidence either. That’s child abuse.
It's likely someone with this level of Dunning-Kruger type confidence in something.
When I was in school none of us talked about politics. We had government and civics and history but that was the extent of it. I didn't really know what democrat/republican was until 9/11 my sophomore year.
Trans didn't exist.
These “people” are so cringe-worthy. Would be interesting to see if there’s a follow-up to this, a day later.
That lady must feel like a huge idiot.
My guess is that the conversation in the liquor store didn't happen. If it did, I feel for the poor guy behind the counter who likely just wants to get through his shift without having to deal with the cat ladies of the world trying to dunk on him.
But might be good to follow. She says one thing, then go with the opposite. The Costanza effect.
Well I’ll be 50 and grew up in Bloomington. One time we had 6’5” trans substitute teacher show up at my 7th grade health class. That was a bit shocking back then. It was shocking enough that our regular teacher was 6’10. Rip Mr chatfield. Bloomington schools were pretty engaged even back then.
Have at it

"deeply imbedded misogyny in this country, including in women. . . internalized misogyny."
He probably had to do one or two of those fireball shots they have at the counter.
Amazingly profound analysis.
"There were more republican voters than democratic voters in the swing states."
That’s like saying, “in my great grandfather’s day, gay people didn’t exist.”
The first gender reassignment surgery was performed in 1922. Trans people have always existed, like gay people have always existed.
They teach them all about the Holocaust. Every year. Nazis are evil. etc.
Know what they have never taught the kids at his school yet? The results of communist revolutions in Russia, China, Cambodia, Vietnam, etc.
But he watches history videos on YouTube (Oversimplified is a favorite) and reads books I get him so he knows more than most.
I'm undecided on if Trans is an actual, natural phenomenon.
That said we can all agree we are seeing a deluge of confused teenagers pushed down this destructive path. And it needs to stop.
I don’t know, there are a lot of idiots out there that don’t realize it. Much of the time they’re the ones calling others idiots. 😎
That was a fine pickup on your part.
But, my God, this “person” should be awarded with the title World’s Worst Political Analyst.
“Kamala ran a perfect campaign.” If she were a sports analyst she would say the Yankees were the better team by far and were it not for the Dodgers scoring more runs in four games the Yankees would have won the World Series.
I want to know about the bottle of champagne.
I didn't mean it as there weren't any.
It just wasn't something anyone ever heard or thought of. Except for George in The Wedding Singer.
My son is 29. He made great grades in High School and College. I am always stunned at his lack of knowledge of all history.
For this confusing statement to your son. I'm leaving every other board off of the "roof" of your pergola. I hope you get sun burn and swamp ass when it rains.
How do you feel about arranged marriages?
Is he intimidated by heterosexual, blondie soccer girls, that also happen to be Swifties, but post pro-Trump content to their Instagram on occasion? 😄
It will. My son is the only one left. Hes all boy. Going to be a man too. He’s almost 6’ and 13 shoe at 13. Big ass hands. He’s a worker. The neighborhood loves him. He fixes mowers, changes garbage disposals, mowed lawns and anything else he can get in front of him.

This settles the “educated” vs credentialed argument for all time.
No, the Problem Isn’t the Voters

No, the Problem Isn’t the Voters
The legacy press explains reality away.Ever since Donald J. Trump arrived on the political scene in 2015, elites have claimed his rise signals the last gasp of a dying white-majority America alarmed by cultural and demographic shifts. This was always a kind of security blanket—an excuse to ignore uncomfortable truths.
If Tuesday’s election results do not demolish that cope once and for all, we’re not sure what will. Because look at the results: Trump made big gains among almost every demographic group: Latinos (45 percent went for Trump—a history-making number for a Republican presidential candidate), African Americans (13 percent voted Trump compared to 8 percent in 2020), Asians (39 percent), women (46 percent), the young (46 percent).
The only group Kamala Harris made gains with was white college-educated women and those over 65.
Just look at this graph from the Financial Times:
But if the media meltdown that followed Trump’s extraordinary comeback is anything to go by, there is no end to that fever dream. Just take a look at what has transpired over the last 36 hours:
- On MSNBC, Joy Ann Reid said, “anyone who has experienced this country’s history. . . and knows it, cannot have believed that it would be easy to elect a woman president, let alone a woman of color.” Of Harris’s election effort, she added: “I mean, this really was a historic, flawlessly run campaign.”
- On The View, Sunny Hostin said: “I was so hopeful that a mixed-race woman married to a Jewish guy could be elected president of this country. And I think that it had nothing to do with policy. I think this was a referendum of cultural resentment in this country.”
- On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough said to a nodding Al Sharpton that “It’s not just misogyny from white men; it’s misogyny from Hispanic men, it’s misogyny from black men—things we’ve all been talking about—who do not want a woman leading them.” He added that it “might be race issues with Hispanics. They don’t want a black woman as president.” (He left out the fact that Trump performed nine points better with Hispanic women this year compared to 2020.)
- Laura Helmuth, the editor in chief of Scientific American, chimed in with a now-deleted tweet: “I apologize to younger voters that my Gen X is so full of ****ing fascists.” (Fifty-four percent of Gen X voted Trump.)
- The pastor and activist John Pavlovitz, who has 400,000 followers on X, declared: “Kamala Harris was the perfect candidate and she ran a beautiful campaign of joy, empathy, and unity. She just happened to run in a nation that is addicted to nihilism, cruelty, and division.”
- Nikole Hannah-Jones, creator of The 1619 Project at The New York Times, warned that: “We must not delude ourselves in this moment.” Among “shifting demographics where white Americans will lose their numeric majority,” she added, there is “a growing embrace of autocracy to keep the ‘legitimate’ rulers of this country in power.”
On one level, that’s true. In a democracy, the electorate is responsible for the results—for better or for worse. H.L. Mencken nailed it when he called democracy “the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.”
But you don’t succeed in an election by calling the common people racist or sexist or stupid. You win by listening to them.
And our media elite have put their heads in the sand. Again. They seem to think that if they keep calling Americans knuckle-dragging bigots, one day they’ll get the message.
