Kamala lost because Americans can now think for themselves and we have free speech on X. We no longer need to listen to the fake news media for the narrative and we can call out their lies in real timepic.twitter.com/49tYmBowDI

WHAT’S BETTER, BORING OR EXCITING? Dinosaurs discovered in ‘Chinese Pompeii’ actually died in extremely boring ways.

MICROBIOME NEWS: Nepal study reveals microbes in mouth reflect lifestyle choices.

FROM ME, Thoughts on the Post-Election. Trump needs to go for shock and awe.

UPDATE (From Ed): I assume, based on Obama and Biden’s choices prior to officially taking office, we’ll start seeing Trump behind a podium that’s labeled “The Office of the President Elect” in the coming weeks. Obama enjoyed bigfooting Dubya in his last weeks in office, and Trump should have even more trolling Sundown Joe and a humiliated Kamala (and the media who will have a sudden sense of amnesia about the signage of the two prior Democrat presidents.)

SPACE: After 31 cargo missions, NASA finds Dragon still has some new tricks.

HMM: ER visit often precedes a cancer diagnosis. “Canadian researchers have found that about 1 in every 3 people newly diagnosed with cancer experienced at least one emergency department visit sometime during the three months prior to their diagnosis. Many of the visits ended up being caused by symptoms related to the cancer, noted a team led by Dr. Keerat Grewal, an emergency physician at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto.”

A DIFFERENT VIBE THIS TIME:

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: Georgetown gives students milk and cookies to help them cope with election.

SO KAMALA DIDN’T SPEAK LAST NIGHT, AND DIDN’T CALL TRUMP TO CONCEDE. A (female) friend messages: “Charming that the Democrats have twice put up a woman against Trump, who gets too drunk the night of elections to give a concession speech.”

They’re not sending their best people. Or heck, maybe they are . . .

THE NEW YORK SUN: Trump’s Historic Acquittal: His victory in the electoral and popular votes suggests that the American people concluded he was wrongly charged and deserves a second chance.

FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!

Pretty incredible when you think about how the entire corporate media was singularly focused over the last 4 years on destroying Trump, in tandem with most of the federal gov’t, the state of New York, as well as various assassins, & not only did Trump win, but he’s going to win…

#JOURNALISM: Media bias hit new high in Trump-Harris coverage, three times 2004.

And they were no prize in 2004.

AND THEY’LL ACT LIKE IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THAT WAY:

Roughly ten minutes ago, the "end of the filibuster" movement suddenly went silent. In the morning, the rights of the minority will suddenly become the cause célèbre of Washington…

SO NOW THAT TRUMP HAS WON THE POPULAR VOTE, I ASSUME THAT CALIFORNIA, NEW YORK, ILLINOIS, ET AL., WILL GIVE HIM THEIR ELECTORAL VOTES, Under the National Popular Vote Compact that they signed up for. Right?
