Flotsam and Jetsam - It's Official Trump Elected President

On a day that ordinarily escapes much comment, the electoral college met and voted Donald Trump to be the next President of the United State. Da Blaze, Electoral College voters officially confirm Donald Trump's victory, 312-226.

I confess I didn't know he was under consideration. unusual whales@unusual whales, "BREAKING: Senator Elizabeth Warren has sent a letter to Trump to establish "conflict of interest" rules for Elon Musk given he is a top adviser, per WaPo In response, Trump's team called her "Pocahontas," and said that Warren was a "career politician whose societal impact is 1/1024th of Elon Musk's," per BI. Bob Spencer again, Elizabeth Warren Demands Conflict-of-Interest Rules for Musk, and Trump Camp’s Response Is FIRE

Good news from John Sexton at Hat Hair, NY Post says Stephanopoulos 'Humiliated' by $16 Million Settlement. Althouse, "As someone who practiced press law for more than twenty years, and served as a senior executive of news organizations for just as long, I was shocked by the decision of ABC News last week..." ""... to pay $16 million to settle Donald Trump’s libel case over George Stephanopoulos’s This Week broadcast in March. The shock came, and still lingers, because I—and every experienced press lawyer not involved in the case with whom I have discussed it—considered the case one in which ABC was likely to eventually prevail. . . .  Writes Richard J. Tofel, in "Questions ABC News Should Answer Following the $16 Million Trump Settlement/The decision to cave and apologize has unnerved American journalists. The network owes them an explanation" (Columbia Journalism Review)." From Twitchy sees ‘News’ Blues: Legacy Media Shivers and Weeps as Trump Ushers in Chilling ‘Age of Accountability’.

Beege Welborn at Hat Hair is scandalized that Biden Admin Sent $300M to Reuters to 'Look Into' Musk and His Companies? Elon did say he needed Trump to win to avoid going to jail. I guess he wasn't kidding. Mike Benz@MikeBenzCyber, "The Biden Admin paid Reuters over $300 million in government contracts. 11 different Biden government agencies targeted Elon's businesses. All 11 agencies paid millions to Reuters. Reuters then won the Pulitzer Prize for "their work on Elon Musk and misconduct at his businesses" Steve Richards at JTN, Biden advisors used insecure pseudonymous email accounts to brief him on sensitive foreign policy, "The email records, released by the National Archives after a Freedom of Information lawsuit, show that then-Vice President Biden regularly conducted foreign policy business on his pseudonymous email account, hidden from public scrutiny."

From ZeroHedge, Biden Lied About Everything: Philly Fed Finds All Jobs "Created" In Q2 Were Fake, zerohedge @zerohedge "On Wednesday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics will downward revise jobs for the April 2023-March 2024 period by up to 1 million. This means that all "beats" recorded in the past year will have been misses and the US job market is in far worse shape than the admin would admit." At the College Fix, Federal agencies fund ‘highly ideological’ university art projects. Because of course they do. Sean Davis@seanmdav "Stop calling it a CR. It’s a massive K Street Christmas tree omnibus with giveaways to every special interest in Washington, D.C." Quote toddstarnes@toddstarnes, "Speaker Mike Johnson said the Continuing Resolution would be released before the weekend. That was 4 days ago. Then, he said it would be released last night.

Susie Moore at RedState likes how Trump Responded to Judge Merchan's Ruling on Immunity Issue - and Pulls No Punches  "In a completely illegal, psychotic order, the deeply conflicted, corrupt, biased, and incompetent Acting Justice Juan Merchan has completely disrespected the United States Supreme Court, and its Historic Decision on Immunity. But even without Immunity, this illegitimate case is nothing but a Rigged Hoax. Merchan, who is a radical partisan, wrote an opinion that is knowingly unlawful, goes against our Constitution, and, if allowed to stand, would be the end of the Presidency as we know it. Merchan has so little respect for the Constitution that he is keeping in place an illegal gag order on me, your President and President-Elect, just so I cannot expose his and his family’s disqualifying and illegal conflicts…." Insty, at his NYPo gig, How Congress can end DC’s lawfare and one-party federal bias. Abolish DC and give the land back to MD? Uh. "Meanwhile, an even better solution would be to move most of the federal government out of the District entirely, and relocate agency headquarters to lower-cost areas far from the capital city." Capt. Ed agrees "We should really give more thought to decentralizing the federal government. Congress could stay in DC, but the executive-branch departments should get relocated, if for no other reason than to break up the grift around DC. But really, the solution is to severely curtail agency law or eliminate it altogether, and return those authorities and jurisdictions back to the states."

Althouse catches ""It’s not often that my work gets a killer five-star review from an actual killer...." "In my 35 years as a filmmaker, have I said or done anything that has implied I condone murder?... Throughout my adult life, I have repeatedly stated that I’m a pacifist. In fact, I have never struck another human in my life. Not even on the playground...." Writes Michael Moore, in "A Manifesto Against For-Profit Health Insurance Companies/I hereby give you my Oscar-nominated Documentary on the Killer Health Insurance companies like United HealthCare —SICKO — for FREE… and let’s end and replace this so-called 'health care system' NOW" (MichaelMoore.com).

At Breitbart, Police Looking Into Possible Manifesto Left Behind by Madison Shooter. It appears to be typical feminist dogma. 

Beege Welborn, Stop the Presses - We Have the 'Lie of the Year'.  Nicole Silverio@NicoleMSilverio, "I'm old enough to remember when the White House called concerns about Joe Biden's mental capabilities "cheap fakes," or when they constantly said Hunter Biden wouldn't be pardoned by his father, or that Kamala Harris was a moderate. But PolitiFact believes pet eating rumors are the most significant lie."
