A historic victory — The greatest political comeback in the USA
Talking about Elon — Trump raved and said “We have to protect our super geniuses”. This is so incredibly rare — the recognition at the highest level that scientific and engineering genius need to be protected.
I’m still the cynic looking for the gotcha — but he has also won the popular vote, seemingly every swing state (so far*) and taken back the Senate. This is excellent. How can the Blob cheat their way out of this? Could they have planted “fake votes” for Trump to pretend he cheated and dispute the results, could they claim he is an insurrectionist on January 6th to disqualify him, after all his supposed “crimes” were laundered before the voters and the voters still voted for him.
Imagine how many votes he would have won if the media hadn’t worked against him every minute.
In Australia, our entire national renewable energy policy just turned into an albatross.
But the dark malevolent power of the ACMA Misinformation Bill was on the agenda in the Australian Parliament today. This legislation threatens the existence of this blog, social media, and all the independent voices that are not already under government control. With the Anglosphere under the protection of the USA in a hostile world, all it would take is a word from Trump about the need for their closest allies to protect free speech.
*According to Politico – only 54% of votes have been counted in Arizona (is this the 21st Century, and what use are electronic machines?). Trump 50.9%, Harris 48.3%. In Nevada, Trump is up 51.5% to Harris 46.8% with 83% counted. In Pennsylvania — 96% counted, with Trump at 50.8% to Harris 48.2%. Florida used to be a swing state, but now it is 56% for Trump. California, on the other hand, went 58% to Harris.
h/t David Maddison about the ACMA bill. The Labor Party were hoping we wouldn’t notice.
The people have no faith in the MSM, so they would automatically ignore propaganda. It gives us the opportunity to analyse media behaviour in the aftermath.
‘He has outperformed the polls and appears to have broadened his appeal. It’s a remarkable victory.
‘His critics may want to paint his resurrection as an aberration or a sign of electors who aren’t paying attention.
‘While his 2016 victory may have been fuelled by a willingness to take a gamble on a political unknown, this time the American people know exactly what they are getting and they have collectively decided they want him to be their president.’ (ABC)

I said this at the earlier Post.
Man, in the old days you had to wait till you were 21 before you could vote.
So, my first election was the Queensland State Election in 1972 when Joh Bjelke-Petersen won.
Since then, I have heard so many, so many, election winning acceptance speeches from every side of politics, and from most Countries.
There has been NOTHING like tonight’s acceptance speech from Donald Trump, nothing.
Tony.

I am sat on a railway platform in the UK listening to Trumps victory speech and realised that I turned the volume right down whenever anyone walked past. I am so used to the sheeple here being continually brainwashed by the MSM that Trump was evil that you couldn’t show any interest or opinion for fear of being thought a white supremacist conspiracy nut. It may take a while for me to come out of the closet.

In our newsagent I would say people were generally pleased. I think the bigger topic was how on earth someone so weak as Harris could be selected in the first place.
50
She was selected because she was weak. Biden and Harris were sock puppets. Always. Only Obama/Clinton/Pelosi and behind both Pelosi and Harris was 90 year old Billy Brown who was the California Democratic Party. More dangerous than China.
00
And that is why you walking into a closed booth to mark your ballot. As the democrate ad says ‘No one will know’
00
Salty, there were a lot of people in that closet with you.
Now, put on your MAGA hat and wear it with pride.
Trump has just won the Quadrella.
The Presidency, the House of Reps, the Senate and the popular vote.
The RINOs are crying into their Veuve Clicquot along with the MSM and all the lefties, greens, Marxists, Fascists, Teals, Communists and Socialists. (And, socialites).

Implications for Oz…Net Zero?? Bye bye Bowen?

I could hear lots of loud noises as the left wing elite first lost their minds then exploded.
40
When all is said and done, I believe the Democrats lost because they said “Trump” more than they said “Harris”.
40
There was no point in saying Harris. It was meaningless.
” a walking shadow, a poor player. That struts and frets her hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”
30
And I read that Joseph Ladapo(Florida Surgeon General) is earmarked to become Trump’s Surgeon General. And he has teed off continually at mRNA/Pfizer/CDC/FDA. Will people start singing once they know the wall is coming down??
40
The only thing on my normal news feed is, one item of how Harris ‘might’ win. Seems to be a total blackout on the election. The big question now is, will the media accept the will of the American people THIS TIME. Or are we in for another 4 year temper tantrum.
30
Yep, I’m here in the US, just got up 0430 my time, turned on my usual media.
Dreading the verdict.
And nothing.
Only found out clicking on JoNova.
Jo, appreciate you very much.

Hats off to Trump. He has such courage. Not many would get through that. And hats off to Melania too.
30
This is the courage you need to prevail, and it is not common.
20
Yes.
There is a lot of tip-toeing euphemism about Trump’s “persistence” and energy.
Very few describe it, properly, as courage. I suggest this is so because most politicians lack that courage and quite wish it not be obvious. So they describe Trump’s most admirable quality as something lesser than it is.

The Statue of Liberty is reported to now have a slightly tilted head and is missing the top of her right ear.

They impeached him, twice, they took him to court on trumped up charges, found him guilty of anything and everything they could conceive, they shot at him and still he came back and won against all the odds and all the media, faded movie stars, singers, rap artists and general loons.
The man is made of cast iron.

I watched the election commentary as the votes were coming in on ABC Australia on the TV and FOX News on my tablet. No perspective or a fair representation of views or guests on ABC. Wall to wall Trump derangement syndrome.
00
Amazing how the media now have ZERO power.
All 5 of the so called ‘big guys’ (ABC CBS CNN MSNBC AP) still refuse to call it for Trump and have all ‘gone to bed’ leaving Trump on 266.
Needless to say our ABC have toed the exact same line.
