SETH BARRETT TILLMAN: Trump-45 v. Biden: the Federal Judicial Appointments Record.

A TOXIC INDUSTRY:

We need to have a national conversation about how the corporate press has literally driven people insane.

SEEMS LIKE A BIG CHANGE FROM THE RONNA ROMNEY MCDANIEL ERA:

For anyone wondering, none of our EI staff in any state has been released.

The @gop worked closely with the the NRCC all cycle to build our historic Election Integrity program and we’re still working with them to make sure @realDonaldTrump has a majority to work with in the…

WELL SAID:

The GROWN ADULTS going into absolute hysterics, filming their deranged, paranoia fueled meltdowns, POSTING them, & calling off work today are the same people who think they’re more intelligent than you.

In what world should adults who behave this way be calling the shots?

YESSSS, RELEASE YOUR HATE. Leftists Vent Their Rage at Race and Gender Traitors.

SWEET: Minority voters reject the Democratic Party’s DEI candidate.

DON SURBER: Republicans Learned to Ballot Harvest.

WELL, TRUMP’S THE PEACE CANDIDATE, SO: Israelis Hopeful Trump Shares Their Vision of Peace in the Middle East—and They’re Celebrating His Victory.

MOST OF THEM DIDN’T FINISH HIGH SCHOOL: In Election Aftermath, Hollywood Smashes Records for Lack of Self-Awareness: Jimmy Kimmel, one of the era’s most infamous sources of misinformation, tearfully addresses a terrible night for “journalism” and “free speech.

LAWFARE: Jonathan Turley: Donald Trump just won the greatest jury verdict in American history. “Nearly two years ago, I wrote that Democratic prosecutors’ lawfare campaign against Donald Trump would make the 2024 election the single largest jury decision in history. Now that the verdict is in, the question is whether prosecutors will continue their unrelenting campaign against the president-elect and his companies. The answer is that it may not matter.”

MARK JUDGE: Why Generation X delivered for Trump. “What has happened in America since the fall of communism is the refusal to be free.”

JOHN LUCAS: The physics of American elections: The pendulum swings and demolishes the Blue Wall.

MAKE THEM PAY: Project Veritas’ Defamation Lawsuit Against CNN Can Go Forward.

WELL, THEIR POLICIES CAN’T REALLY WITHSTAND CRITICISM, SO THEY’RE NOT REALLY WRONG: Dems Blame Free Speech for Election Loss.

Flashback: Election Exclusive: British Advisors to Kamala Harris Hope to “Kill Musk’s Twitter.”

OPEN THREAD: Party on, dudes and dudettes. And be excellent to each other.

Yes, I’ know I’m crossing the streams there.

MY LATEST SUBSTACK ESSAY: Elon Unbound: Some first, second, and third-order effects of the election.

As always, if you like it, please sign up for a paid subscription. I’ll probably be doing more paid content, post-election.

THE NEW SPACE RACE: SpaceX plans next Starship flight for mid-November.

CARROT JUICE IS MURDER: Plants Really Do ‘Scream’. We’ve Simply Never Heard Them Until Now.

I’ve heard the screams of the vegetables.

PROF. CARRINGTON, CALL YOUR OFFICE: Sun’s Rage: Massive X2.3 Solar Flare Spotted by NASA.

HMM: Excessive daytime sleepiness can lead to dementia, study indicates. It sounds like the culprit isn’t so much daytime sleepiness as nighttime sleep dysfunction.

HMM: 2025 Torsus Terrastorm First Drive: For Serious Overlanders Only. “The reason I couldn’t drive the Torsus Terrastorm or its giant stablemate the Praetorian before now, the Torsus folks said, was because the previous press-fleet vehicles had all been deployed to Ukraine in the immediate aftermath of Russia’s invasion. It seemed appropriate, then, that the cab-chassis Terrastorm I was now driving at the old GM proving ground at Millbrook, just north of London, was camouflaged and had been lightly armored by Rheinmetall, Germany’s largest arms manufacturer.”

Honestly, it sounds like something that’s good enough off-road to get you stuck in a really remote location. Of course if you travel in third world back country, you’ll be amazed where people are able to go in just an elderly Toyota Corolla with a combination of boldness and driving skill.

WELL: Dave McCormick unseats Bob Casey in Pennsylvania adding to GOP Senate majority.

I’VE SAID BEFORE THAT WE HAVE THE WORST RULING CLASS IN LIVING MEMORY, AND NOT JUST IN THE UNITED STATES:

And to clarify: this isn’t just the first time since WW2 that all incumbent parties in developed countries lost vote share.

It’s the first time since this data was first recorded in 1905. Essentially the first time in the history of democracy (universal suffrage began in 1894). pic.twitter.com/9NfiKISRyU
