I AM WELL PAST SICK AND TIRED OF NEUROTICS DEMANDING WE OVERTURN OUR ELECTION RESULTS BECAUSE THEIR KIDS ARE CRYING: So, I was glad to find this post, which says exactly what I think. STOP SCARING YOUR CHILDREN. Though at Ace of Spades I found the best term to describe this: Trumphausen by proxy. Leftists Ruin Everything, Including Childhood.

IF THEY DID THIS WITH OBAMA IT WOULD BE RACIST: In NYC — Protests include a Trump effigy hanging from a noose.
Remember, nooses used to have all sorts of connotations, from the Old West of spaghetti westerns like Hang ‘Em High to generalized populist revolt. But it was decreed a while back that the only possible connotation of a noose nowadays is racist lynching.
So why are anti-Trump protesters so racist?
HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: UPenn Created a Post-Election Safe Space Complete with Puppies and Coloring Books.
Student Daniel Tancredi reported that the people who attended were “fearful” about the results of the election.
“For the most part, students just hung out and ate snacks and made small talk,” Tancredi told The College Fix. “Of course, that was in addition to coloring and playing with the animals.”
Yet another reason to abolish the Ivy League.
MIKE ROWE ON WHY TRUMP WON:
Back in 2003, a very unusual TV pilot called Dirty Jobs, Forrest-Gumped its way onto The Discovery Channel and found an audience – a big one. For Discovery, this was a problem. You see, Dirty Jobs didn’t look like anything else on their channel. It wasn’t pretty or careful. It took place in sewers and septic tanks, and featured a subversive host in close contact with his 8-year old inner child who refused to do second takes. Everyone agreed that Dirty Jobs was totally “off-brand” and completely inappropriate for Discovery. Everyone but the viewers. The ratings were just too big to ignore, so the pilot got a green-light, and yours truly finally got a steady gig.
But here’s the thing – Dirty Jobs didn’t resonate because the host was incredibly charming. It wasn’t a hit because it was gross, or irreverent, or funny, or silly, or smart, or terribly clever. Dirty Jobs succeeded because it was authentic. It spoke directly and candidly to a big chunk of the country that non-fiction networks had been completely ignoring. In a very simple way, Dirty Jobs said “Hey – we can see you,” to millions of regular people who had started to feel invisible. Ultimately, that’s why Dirty Jobs ran for eight seasons. And today, that’s also why Donald Trump is the President of the United States.

Last week, three old friends – people I’ve known for years – each requested to be “unfriended” by anyone who planned on voting for Trump. Honestly, that was disheartening. Who tosses away a friendship over an election? Are my friends turning into those mind-numbingly arrogant celebrities who threaten to move to another country if their candidate doesn’t win? Are my friends now convinced that people they’ve known for years who happen to disagree with them politically are not merely mistaken – but evil, and no longer worthy of their friendship?
For what it’s worth, Carol, I don’t think Donald Trump won by tapping into America’s “racist underbelly,” and I don’t think Hillary lost because she’s a woman. I think a majority of people who voted in this election did so in spite of their many misgivings about the character of both candidates. That’s why it’s very dangerous to argue that Clinton supporters condone lying under oath and obstructing justice. Just as it’s equally dangerous to suggest a Trump supporter condones gross generalizations about foreigners and women.
These two candidates were the choices we gave ourselves, and each came with a heaping helping of vulgarity and impropriety. Yeah, it was dirty job for sure, but the winner was NOT decided by a racist and craven nation – it was decided by millions of disgusted Americans desperate for real change. The people did not want a politician. The people wanted to be seen. Donald Trump convinced those people that he could see them. Hillary Clinton did not.
Read the whole thing. And Trump should take Rowe up on this offer: “I’ll make the same offer to President Trump that I did to President Obama – to assist as best I can in any attempt to reinvigorate the skilled trades, and shine a light on millions of good jobs that no one seems excited about pursuing.”

GOOD: Trump to Support Nationwide Concealed Carry. “Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump — who said he has a concealed carry permit — called for the expansion of gun rights Friday, including making those permits applicable nationwide. In a position paper published on his website Friday afternoon, Trump called for the elimination of gun and magazine bans, labeling them a ‘total failure.'”

I wrote a whole book about this called The Obama Hate Machine. This President has been the subject of more ugly personal attacks, mean attacks aimed at him personally, not at his policies, than any President since Abraham Lincoln, fueled by the Koch brothers and carried, of course, mainly on Fox News and by Rush Limbaugh. Joe, we just saw some of those clips. They called him a socialist. They have called him a racist.
You know, they’ve called him a communist. I mean, street thug, all the name-calling. And it continues. But I have to say this, Reverend Al. I don’t blame the media entirely, you know. It’s John Boehner and Mitch McConnell who picked it up. Rush Limbaugh said I hope he fails.

ASSASSINATION THREATS AGAINST TRUMP FLOOD TWITTER.
They started the moment it appeared Trump would win the election and included London Telegraph travel journalist Monisha Rajesh, who tweeted, “It’s about time for a presidential assassination.” Apparently agreeing with Rajesh, Financial Times and London Sunday Times writer Mark C.O’Flaherty tweeted back, “haaaaa – that’s all we’ve talked about for the last hour” and “I have no words…always wondered when a Nazi-scale atrocity would next arise. here it is…Here it is…”
Both appear to have deleted their Twitter accounts; according to Breitbart.com, “The official comment from the Telegraph Media Group was, ‘Monisha Rajesh is not an employee of Telegraph Media Group and will not be commissioned on a freelance basis.’”

FIRST ARMADILLOS, NOW THIS: British Red Squirrels May Carry Leprosy. “Leprosy has not been found in humans in Britain since the 1500s. But the M. leprae strain carried by the squirrels is a close genetic relative to one found in a skeleton buried in nearby Winchester 730 years ago, said the researchers.”
THE WASHINGTON POST BURIES ITS HEAD IN THE SAND: Stop Trumpsplaining your vote. Just leave me alone.
Immediately after the 2008 election, the Post’s then ombudswoman admitted, “I’ll bet that most Post journalists voted for Obama. I did. There are centrists at The Post as well. But the conservatives I know here feel so outnumbered that they don’t even want to be quoted by name in a memo.” Not surprisingly, the was certainly no shortage of end zone dances both at the Post and its then-subsidiary publications when its man won; in fact the goal of the DNC-MSM was to convince Republicans they were a spent force entirely.

VICE REPORTER FIRED AFTER STORY QUESTIONING WHETHER LENA DUNHAM VOTED IN PRIMARY:
The verdict on Twitter is that [Michael] Tracey was fired for publishing Dunham’s personal address, although the purchase of her home in 2014 was widely covered in the tabloids and easily accessible to anyone with Google.
Tracey tweeted today, “FYI — the Chief Operating Officer of VICE is Alyssa Mastromonaco, who attended off-record parties with the failed Clinton campaign,” along with journalists from NBC, the New Yorker, the Times, People, the Politico, Vox, and another sites staffed with Democrat operatives with bylines. But beyond that, I’m gobsmackingly gobsmacked. Doesn’t Tracey know that New York journalists should only publish the addresses and/or photos of houses owned by Missouri policemen and New York residents who legally own firearms?

HOWIE CARR ON THE ANTI-DEMOCRACY PROTESTERS:
Have you noticed how many of the riff-raff can’t wait to go in front of the TV cameras to announce in broken English that the reason they hate President-elect Trump is because they’re illegal aliens?
Then they hold up their signs saying “NOT MY PRESIDENT!”
Well then, of course he’s not your president. You’re from Guatemala, or maybe Honduras.
Last night, as a public service to the viewing public, Fox News Channel started running English-language subtitles under the anti-Trump sound bites. I’m serious.
The other kind of demonstrators are these young women with trust funds who sound like Valley Girls. The way they speak is called up-talking: “Like, do you know he wants to repeal, like — ” the voice begins to rise, questioningly, and then ends in an hysterical shriek — “ROE V. WADE!?!?”
Like, this is not what democracy is ALL ABOUT!?!?”
Actually, it is. The problem is, this is the first election these coddled millennials have ever come out on the short end of. This is the first time they haven’t gotten a participation trophy. They have never learned to cope with losing. If they don’t win, the system must be … rigged.
Ouch. Related: Freakout At Princeton:
I didn’t leave my room Wednesday morning. I sat and sobbed and I still have the tissues all over my floor to prove it. When I absolutely had to get up for class, I put on my “Dare to say the F-word: Feminism” t-shirt and my “A woman belongs in the House and the Senate” sweatshirt to make myself feel stronger. Still crying, I left my room.
Good thing you had that t-shirt.
