Flotsam and Jetsam on Veterans Day

There has been minor progress in the election. RCP now shows the Republicans with 217 House seats, only one shy of the 218 needed to control the chamber, with 10 seats as yet undecided. Ryan King at NYPo notes Donald Trump clinches biggest popular vote count by a Republican ever, and all the votes have not been counted. California in particular is notoriously slow, as ballot boxes keep falling off the back of old El Caminos into the voting centers.  Benny Johnson@bennyjohnson "JIM JORDAN: “The biggest question is, what happened to the 10 Million voters that Joe Biden got but didn't come up for Kamala Harris?”" Scott Pinsker at PJM on How Elon Musk Knew Donald Trump Was Going to Win 4 Hours Before You Did.

In response to Democracy Now's allegation that "The Confederacy Won: Why Donald Trump's reelction is a win for White Supremacy, Xenophobia and Hate" Stacy McCain says All I Can Say Is, ‘You’re Welcome’ "The important thing, when confronted by such preposterous accusations, is never to deny them. If such fools have convinced themselves that “white supremacy,” etc., have triumphed at the ballot box — and as of this morning, Donald Trump was leading by a margin of 3.7 million votes — why should we argue with them? Victory requires no excuse. Winners do not need scapegoats." Lee Fang@lhfang, "It is genuinely funny how so many left-liberal influencers spent the last 8 years complaining about whiteness as the source of Trump’s evil power and he’s then elected with a historic multiracial coalition of Native Americans, Black, Asian, and Latino voters." Eric Lendrum at Am Great calls it the Dawn of a New Day. "Welcome back, Mr. President. Sorry, we kept you waiting. We have a lot of work to do." Julianna Frieman@JuliannaFrieman "Lindy Li, who donated millions to the Harris campaign, blasts Democrats for Kamala’s “epic disaster” election loss. “I believed her. My daughters believed her. And so they wrote massive checks.” “I feel like a lot of us were misled.”" From the Slantic, The Cumulative Toll of Democrats’ Delusions.

CBD at Aces, Anti-immigrant Laws? No...We Have Anti-criminal Laws "An "illegal immigrant" is not an immigrant. He is a criminal, and should be treated as a lawbreaker and dealt with by the criminal justice system. The conflation of immigration into America, which used to be of tremendous benefit to us as a nation, with criminals crashing the open border as part of the deeply evil "Great Replacement," is part and parcel of the progressive destruction of our language. We don't call bank robbers "undocumented withdrawers." We don't call rape "pre-permission intercourse."
