CHRISTIAN TOTO: Trump Win Could Make Hollywood 2.0 a Reality.

Zachary Levi could have said, “I told you so.”

The “Shazam!” actor recently endorsed Donald Trump for president, but he didn’t dunk on his political enemies last night following Trump’s dramatic victory. Levi made an exception for hard-Left Hollywood journalist Roger Friedman.

The Showbiz 411 founder publicly attacked Levi on X, saying the only good news from Trump’s victory was that Levi wouldn’t be allowed back into Hollywood, Inc. again. Once again, a journalist acknowledges the new Hollywood Blacklist.
…
It won’t be easy to compete with, let alone replace Hollywood. That movement unofficially starts with Trump’s victory.

In a way, it’s already begun.

ICYMI: Trump Declares Victory: It Was A Historic Realignment, ‘We Are The Party Of Common Sense.’

This campaign has been so historic in so many ways. We’ve built the biggest, the broadest, the most unified coalition. They’ve never seen anything like it in all of American history.

They’ve never seen it. Young and old, men and women, rural and urban. And we had them all helping us tonight.

When you think, I mean, I was looking at it. I was watching it. They had some great analysis of the people that voted for us.

Nobody’s ever seen anything like that. They came from all quarters. Union, non-union, African-American, Hispanic-American, Asian-American, Arab-American, Muslim-American.

We had everybody, and it was beautiful. It was a historic realignment, uniting citizens of all backgrounds around a common core of common sense.

Indeed.

BILL WHITTLE: With Malice Toward None. “Alternate title: MAGA MANBABY BLUBBERS LIKE A SISSY. Recorded just a few moments after Donald Trump was declared the winner of the 2024 election, Hot Mic host Bill Whittle unloads four years of emotional baggage and invokes the language, the spirit and most importantly the INTENTION of the first Republican President.”

FROM A EUROPEAN WHO GETS US: 10 Reasons You Didn’t See This Coming.

6. Americans are sensitive about racial issues and their country’s imperfect history. They believe that those who are disadvantaged by the circumstances of their birth should be given the opportunity to succeed. What they reject, however, is the idea that in order to address the errors of the past new errors must be made. DEI is racist. They know it and they reject it precisely because they are not racist.

7. Americans are the most philosemitic nation on earth. October 7 and the pro-Hamas left’s reaction shocked them to their very core because, among other things, they remember what 9/11 was like and they know jihad when they see it.

8. Americans are extremely practical people. They care about what works, not what sounds good. In Europe, we produce great writers and intellectuals. In America they produce (and attract) great engineers, businessmen and investors. Because of this, they care less about Trump’s rhetoric than you do and more about his policies than you do.

9. Americans are deeply optimistic people. They hate negativity. The woke view of American history as a series of evils for which they must eternally apologise is utterly abhorrent to them. They believe in moving forward together, not endlessly obsessing about the past.

10. America is a country whose founding story is one of resistance to government overreach. They loathe unnecessary restrictions, regulations and control. They understand that freedom comes with the price of self-reliance and they pay it gladly.

Head on over for the first five.

WOEING: Boeing Faces Production Challenges as Union Strike Ends; 777X Delayed, Layoffs Announced.“Appointed in August, Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg expressed hope for rebuilding Boeing’s reputation but also pointed out that challenges persist. The financial loss of the strike has caused Boeing to announce plans to postpone the 777X aircraft, cut about 17,000 positions in the coming months, and look for more finance. Boeing’s stock is currently on the rise, but it still shows a 40% yearly drop.”

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: TRUMP WINS. AMERICA WINS. “Regular readers here know that I have been nothing but pessimistic throughout this election cycle. I knew that all of the signs looked good for Trump as Election Day approached, but I was convinced that the Dems would find some way to blow it all up. Pennsylvania was the biggest surprise for me. I was convinced that the Magic Mail-In Ballot Machine in Philadelphia would muck up the works.”

A WELCOME BREAK FROM PLAYING WITH MAPS AT 270TOWIN: Design an interstellar ‘generation ship’ to spend decades among the stars with Project Hyperion competition. “Rather than focusing on the design of the propulsion system, or structural design of the ship, researchers are specifically interested in answering what an ideal space habitat architecture and social system would look like for such a journey.”
