#1 - A Seemingly Inebriated Kamala Harris Chimes in on the Wisconsin Election, and She Really Shouldn't Have — by Bonchie

If it seems like she's toasted there, it's probably because she very well might be. She truly has a way with words, doesn't she? Why voters rejected her at the ballot box in the 2024 election remains one of the greatest political mysteries in history. Alas, we may never know how being "Brat" wasn't enough to pull her over the finish line.

There's a bit of irony in Harris chiming in about this specific race, given that she lost Wisconsin. Did the voters there love their country and care when they rejected her? The entire thing is just weird, but I guess Harris feels like she's got to keep her face out there to set up a 2028 run. We all know she's going to, and she continues to lead Democrat primary polls, though it's very early.

#2 - Former TDS Survivor Goes on Epic Rant About Tariffs on 'Piers Morgan,' Leaves Lefties Shellshocked — by Bob Hoge

I’m not one who refuses to accept those that have seen the light—there’s a plethora of progressives who are coming to the belated realization that the Democrats and the mainstream media have been gaslighting and brainwashing them for decades—and we should welcome them, not shun them (with caution, of course, because some of them are just sailing with the prevailing winds and have no core values whatsoever).

Ungar-Sargon delivered an epic monologue on Piers Morgan’s “Uncensored” show Wednesday night where she left liberal “Young Turks” host Cenk Uygur looking shell-shocked and speechless.

#3 - Absolutely Wild Details About How Democrats Covered Up Biden's Decline Reveal a Historic Scandal — by Bonchie

Of course, even with so much out in the open now, the press are still gaslighting about what transpired. 

Party and administration officials repeatedly downplayed these worries, insisting Biden was fully capable of winning and serving another four-year term in office. Despite Biden’s occasional public stumbles, they sought to assure the public that behind closed doors, Biden remained sharp and fully in command. 

Occasional public stumbles? Are they kidding? I wrote a story almost every day during the last few years of Biden's presidency on his senility, not because I loved covering the topic (it got rather boring after a while) but because he had that many public stumbles to cover. It was a continual onslaught of material, and by 2024, I was dumbfounded they were still letting him do events at all.

#4 - What Trump Said to Kamala During Her Concession Call That Left One of Her Aides Livid: ‘He’s a Sociopath’ — by Rusty Weiss

Whipple reveals that the President's end of the conversation is pretty much classic Trump. Able to separate the brutal grind of a political campaign and turn on the charm. And that's where it gets genuinely hilarious.

One of Kamala's aides was absolutely livid that Trump dared to be ... polite.

While Harris making the call was humiliating and awkward - she "'felt the weight of the crushing defeat" - Trump was in good spirits. While Harris was making comments about him needing to be a "President for all Americans," Trump sounded like Chris Farley in one of his SNL skits for "The Chris Farley Show."

"You're a tough cookie. You were really great. And that Doug - what a character! I love that guy," Trump reportedly said.

#5 - It's Different This Time Around—Trump's Wily Chief of Staff Bringing the Heat — by Bob Hoge

Trump is far more effective in his Second Round, in my opinion, partly because he’s disciplined and partly because he has a vice president in JD Vance who doesn’t play games.

But there’s another person making this happen quietly and without public fanfare, and that’s Susie Wiles.

Trump has assembled a formidable crew—light-years ahead of his previous Cabinet, in my view—and the Democrats have their hands full in trying to push back. So far, it’s been pure Failure Theater on their part.
