As we celebrate a fortnight since the election that may have saved America, more good news continues to ripple through the land, like aftershocks from the most pleasurable earthquake ever.
For example, I’d overlooked the good election news out of California, which shouldn’t be that easy to do, since there’s generally not that much of it. But it’s worth remembering that CA took a turn toward Trump, just as the other big blue states did, even though it makes for a good news/bad news story.
Over the last several decades, CA Dems had voted in a bunch of soft-on-crime numbskulls to carry out soft-on-crime policies, which was bad news. Then they reaped what they had sown – spikes in shoplifting, car theft, robberies, assaults and other assorted violence – which was good news, since they got what they voted for… good and hard.
Then two weeks ago they partially reversed course, which is very good news. Voters tossed out crime-enabling bonehead San Francisco mayor London Breed, as well as crime-embracing Soros puppet and cartoon villain LA District Attorney George Gascon, who lost by over 20 points.
Oakland’s Mayor Sheng Thao spent her time in office defying the stereotype that Asians are smart. News reports called her “a far-left progressive who just a few years back supported slashing the police budget, reimagining what policing should look like, and investing in unarmed ‘violence interrupters’.”
I love that term! By “violence interrupters” she meant well-meaning social worker types, but Oakland residents probably knew them by a more common-sense term: “bullet-absorbing good-for-nothings.”
(“Violence interrupter” would be a better name for a shotgun, or maybe a WWII bomber. You point the former at a Biden voter who’s attacking you, or you fly the latter over Hiroshima – post-Pearl Harbor, Rape of Nanking and Bataan Death March – and boom! Violence interrupted.)
Anyway, Sheng Thao got the heave ho on November 5th.
So did Prop 47, the brilliant “Please Feel Free to Shoplift up to $950 Worth At a Time” law that Californians passed ten years ago. On Tuesday they replaced that with Prop 36, the “Never Mind – Shoplifting’s Illegal Again” law.
Sadly, my old home state of Illinois is still governed by J.B. Pritzker (D-irigible), and he’s not done with the stupidity yet. A few days after Trump’s victory, Pritzker doubled down on his trans fanaticism. He’s already required that boys who say they’re girls can play on girls’ sports teams and use their bathrooms, and he’s used Medicaid funding to pay for horrific gender surgeries on minors.
Most people are assuming that Trump will not allow Medicaid funds to continue being misused in that way. However, even though Illinois is broke and getting broker, Governor Goodyear is declaring Illinois essentially a sanctuary state for gender-confused people looking to carve themselves up. I’m guessing that he’ll be putting Illinois taxpayers on the hook for those surgeries from now on.
I’m no psychiatrist, but I will humbly suggest that it is much easier, psychologically speaking, for a governor to be okay with mentally distressed guys cutting off their junk if he has not seen his own junk in decades.

Meanwhile, lefty media types are roasting Morning Joe and Mika, after they went to Berchtesgaden – which Whoopi assures me is German for “Mar-a-Lago” – for a meeting with Trump.
I don’t know if you all are history buffs, but not since the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact have I seen commies so eager to meet with a Nazi before.
Their decision to obsequiously seek an audience with Trump after they’ve spent years calling him a fascistic, dictatorial, Hitlerian, existential threat to America perfectly illustrates the bind that the leftists have put themselves in.
They know he’s not Hitler. But now he’s going to spend four years not just being NOT Hitler, but being a veritable un-Hitler. In fact, he’ll be 99% less Hitler-y than Joe Biden and Obama and Merrick Garland and Imhotep Pelosi and most of the top Dems have been for the past 4-12 years.
And boy, will that make the leftist elites look increasingly dishonest and/or hysterical! Thankfully, the internet is forever, and we’ve got hundreds of hours of their apocalyptic posturing that we’ll be able to hang around their necks like a Pritzker-sized albatross with a Hitler mustache.
Speaking of albatrosses around hypocritical Democrats’ necks – and how’s that for a seamless transition? – the creepy attempt to steal the Pennsylvania Senate seat should come back to haunt Josh Shapiro.
Shapiro had been about the only Democrat who came through this Schiff-show of an election with his reputation untarnished. Most of the others looked like either evil schemers (“Joe Biden is sharp as a tack, and Trump is Orange Hitler who called white supremacists ‘fine people’.”) or complete morons (“We’ve got a billion dollars, the public doesn’t care about inflation or the border, and every voter does what Queen Latifah and Bruce Springsteen tell them to!”)
But Shapiro had dodged a bullet by not being picked by the Cackler to be her partner on the political Hindenburg that was her campaign. And he had the great advantage of being compared to Tampon Tim as Harris/Walz exploded and plunged to the ground.
People said that Shapiro was popular in PA and would have won the state for Harris, and that he was smarter than Walz (duh!). He also got some victim points – which is like bitcoin for leftists – because he’d been passed over because of anti-Semitism.
Overall, he had navigated the 2024 disaster and come out without a scratch.
Until now. Because after the PA election was called for McCormick, Bob Casey went old-school Democrat, and started cheating with both hands and in plain sight. When the vote count had clearly gone against him, he refused to concede. (Remember when that was election denying, and treason, and disqualifying, and Not Who We Are?)
As things got more desperate, a panel of three Democrat officials openly admitted that they were counting illegitimate ballots – ones without signatures, dates or security envelopes, as the state’s laws clearly require – in blatant violation of a recent PA State Supreme Court ruling.
One sleaze ball county commissioner said, in front of cameras, “I think we all know that precedent by a court doesn’t matter anymore in this country. People violate laws anytime they want. So, for me, if I violate this law, it’s because I want a court to pay attention.”
Democrat officials in several other counties went along with the same illegal strategy, and counted more illegal ballots. The totals in the reports I read suggest that around 1,000 – 2,000 such ballots were involved.
The optics of this cheating are obviously terrible for the Dems, especially since they impeached Trump – and Fani Willis has tried to jail him – for what they falsely claim is the exact type of cheating they are now doing, in broad daylight!
And throughout all of this, Josh Shapiro has stood by silently, giving his tacit approval to Casey’s sordid machinations.
Forget for the moment how morally wrong Shapiro’s behavior is, and consider how weapons-grade stupid it is! Casey is trailing by around 26,000 votes, so there’s zero chance that there are enough illegal votes to change the outcome. And it’s not like Casey’s seat would tip the balance in the Senate anyway! It’s the 53rd GOP seat, and is therefore only marginally helpful.
But beyond that, during such a long, nasty campaign, one of the few advantages the Dems had over Trump was that many voters thought they respect “our sacred democracy” more than Machiavellian Trump does.
And now Shapiro has squandered that by acting like a corrupt machine politician – an old-timey NYC Tammany Hall grifter, or a sleazy Chicago alderman winning with the cemetery vote!
I’ve written before about the terrible bench the Dems have for the 2028 presidential race. Everyone who ran in the 2020 primary is tainted.
Mayor Pete disgraced himself with the maternity leave and train derailment; Bernie is 112 years old; Grandma Squanto is a laughingstock because of her vaudeville red-face routine (#wemustneverstopmockingher), and the rest were beaten by the ghost of Joe Biden.
Their governors (Hochul, Whitmer, Ken-Doll, Pritzker) are horrific, their senators are pathetic, and AOC has nothing going for her but a juicy booty (her words, not mine).
The only nationally known Dem left standing on 11/6 was Josh Shapiro, and now he’s beclowned and besmirched himself.
How bad off are the Democrats today? The first post-election poll of Dem voters asking who they’d support in 2028 came out yesterday. Only 6 people made the list, and the bottom 5 only got between 4% – 8% each.
The clear front runner, at a dominating 41%? I swear to you I am not making this up…
Kamala freaking Harris!
Now if you’ll excuse me, the dopamine and laughter are making me light-headed, so I have to lie down.
Hamas delenda est!
