11TH CIRCUIT JUDGE ED CARNES, concurring in the Project Veritas v. CNN case: “If you stay on the bench long enough, you see a lot of things. Still, I never thought I’d see a major news organization. downplaying the importance of telling the truth in its broadcasts. But that is what CNN has done in this case.”

CONTEMPT IS A VOTE-GETTER

If the Dems want to keep losing men they’ll continue their favorite excuse from last night, “education”.

No one wants to hear a an elitist media personality with a French Lit degree from Vassar preen on about the “education divide”

ERICK ERICKSON: Why Trump Needs to Purge the Contractors.. “As Donald Trump prepares to begin the process of purging the bureaucracy when he assumes office, he needs to purge the contractors as well.”

MY NEW YORK POST COLUMN: FEMA outrage reveals weaponized government — and points Trump toward reform. “One of President-elect Donald Trump’s first orders of business must be to de-weaponize the federal government. One episode from Florida illustrates why. Not long ago you might have charged me with paranoid conspiracy theorizing if I had told you that federal disaster relief workers were deliberately keeping Trump supporters from receiving government assistance. But they were, and a FEMA supervisor has been fired for it.”

MEANWHILE LEFTY WOMEN ARE DECLARING WAR ON MEN OVER TRUMP’S VICTORY: Ladies in red swung the vote: Trump beat Harris ‘with the largest female demographic.’

Liberal women are going on a sex strike and shaving their heads to punish men for voting for Donald Trump.

Men are breathing a sigh of relief, as this self-defeating gesture by the Trump-deranged bodes well for natural selection, especially since conservative women are having more babies.

But the joke is on the Trump-hating femmes. It was supposed to be the gender gap election, which women would win for Democrats because more of them vote.

Kamala “Brat” Harris was banking on the sisters to make her the first female president in history.

Except that’s not what happened. Women do historically vote Democrat, but this time Harris did worse with the female vote than both her Democratic predecessors — five points worse than Joe Biden and three points worse than Hillary Clinton.

And Trump beat Harris by five points with the largest female demographic — white women —and increased his vote with young women by seven points over his 2020 figures.

Speaking of ladies in red, I wonder who Jill Biden voted for?

I’m sure every woman is aware of what they wear. This is Jill Biden’s final statement to the Democratic Party that they mistreated her husband. She wears red on 5 November to vote. That’s a slap in the face to the Democratic Party. She probably even voted for President Trump. pic.twitter.com/HRtNKI7KvR

WARREN FARRELL: Trump won because Democrats keep telling young men they’re dangerous and don’t matter.

I recall interviewing a young man from Mill Valley, California, a city with deep Democratic Party ties. As the interview concluded, he broke down, “I wish I hadn’t been born male.”

I knew why: He had already shared: “In public schools and even in the private all-male school I attend, all we hear is ‘The future is female.’ That doesn’t inspire me for my future. As for masculinity, it’s ‘toxic masculinity.’ Then we are told we’re part of the patriarchy that makes rules to benefit men at the expense of women. The conclusion is that ‘Men are the oppressors; women are the oppressed.’ I can’t help being who I am.” When I asked him who he talks with about this, he said, “My guy friends. They feel the same. But I’d never tell my girlfriend. She’s a feminist. She’d break up with me.”

On a spring break, I encountered seven guys reuniting at Starbucks. Though attending different colleges, they all nodded as one guy complained, “If I take a sexual initiative too quickly, I’m labeled a sexual harasser. But if I ask permission to hold her hand, she looks at me like I’m a wimp.” One concurred, “I feel ‘Damned if I do; damned if I don’t. … if they’re so into equality, why don’t they take the sexual initiatives and risk the rejection?”

Once they felt comfortable, stories poured out. One recalled, “My best friend and a girl both got drunk at a fraternity party. They had consensual sex, but she had a boyfriend who found out, and she accused my friend of date rape ‘because she was drunk.’ Well, he was drunk too! A committee heard the case, but he couldn’t even cross-examine her. He was expelled, his record tainted for life.” Their voices dropped. “It’s all #MeToo for women and #ShutUp for men.” One concluded, “College is a dangerous place for men.”

Plus: “Among working men, the feeling of having ‘the cards stacked against me’ is directed at human resources. ‘If I tease a man, no problem; if I tease a woman, I’ll be reported to HR. HR doesn’t ‘get it’ that guys tease people we respect, so if I only tease guys I’m really discriminating against women.’ In essence, they feel that HR is actually HeR.”

Yep. Helen’s interviewing men for her next book and hearing similar things. But now they’re fighting back.

And the tyranny of HR is itself a product of federal government policy.

I AM ALL THERE FOR THE CATFIGHTS.

Jill Biden, eyes hidden behind sunglasses, looked stoic as she sat next to Kamala Harris at Arlington National Cemetery for a Veterans Day ceremony. The first lady stared straight ahead as Kamala Harris leaned into husband Doug Emhoff, who sat on her other side. There have long been reports there is no love lost between Jill Biden and Harris, a feud tracing back to the 2020 Democratic primary when Harris attacked Joe Biden during the first primary debate. The first lady, however, did campaign repeatedly for Harris after President Biden was pushed out of the presidential race. But now the votes have been tallied and the results show Harris lost to Donald Trump in a landslide, leaving the Harris camp and Biden allies to blame the other for the Democrats’ defeat.
