Happy Days are here again
November 11, 2024
Dear Patriot,
The Trump campaign will be forever remembered by the songs “YMCA” and “God Bless the USA”.
But since Tuesday night, this song has been singing in our heads. Yes, it is an old Democrat song from an FDR campaign.
Regardless, it fits the current mood.
Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
So let's sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again
The news since the election has been fun to consume, for a change. The left is melting down in ways that are a sight to behold.
The right is wasting no time and pushing forward with the "Make American Great Again" agenda.
Continue to pray for President Trump and his entire team as they navigate choppy waters during the transition period.
Give thanks and praise to God for saving America, once again.

1- We are trying to keep an eye out for the House races but, it seems that the reporting on final results are all over the place. Here is a story from the weekend that lists all the races still undecided.
Here Are the Uncalled House Races That Will Determine Control of the Chamber
QUOTE: There are 20 races in the U.S. House of Representatives that are still being counted: 10 of which are in California.
As the last remaining votes are tallied nationwide, several key House races that are yet to be called will decide which party controls the chamber in 2025.
As of Saturday evening, The Associated Press still hasn’t called 20 seats in 10 states. The current status has Republicans leading Democrats by 213 seats to 202. A majority is reached at 218 seats.
If the current margins endure once all votes are counted, Republicans could net 11 more seats, for a total of 224. Democrats could add 9 seats, for a total of 211 as the new Congress is sworn in next year.
The current House of Representatives has 220 Republican seats, 212 Democratic, and three vacancies.
2- The ripple effect of the Trump victory is already being felt around the world, and in the best ways.
Donald Trump’s historic victory already feels like it’s Morning in America again
QUOTE: This just in: the end of the world has been postponed.
The wailing of Democrats and their media mouthpieces notwithstanding, Donald Trump’s landslide victory is the dramatic course correction our nation and the entire free world desperately needed. Its wide sweep offers the promise of progress on so many fronts that it already feels like Morning in America again.
The immediate benefits include both domestic and foreign gains.
They are examples of the “Trump effect” and should be seen as down payments on the progress to come.
American stock markets are booming in anticipation of his free-market economic policies and half of a migrant caravan in Mexico headed for the US turned back because of Trump’s plan for mass deportations.
The about-face came after he warned Mexico’s president he’ll impose 25% tariffs on its exports unless she stops caravans before they reach the US border.
It also counts as good news that Democrats have formed a circular firing squad in the hunt for someone to blame.
Nancy Pelosi, who helped push President Biden off the ticket, is complaining the party goofed by not making Kamala Harris go through a primary process before anointing her as the nominee.Ya think?
What matters is that Trump’s policies will strengthen America both economically and militarily — and that will cause ripple effects around the globe.
A prime example of what happens when America leads with strength is the report that Qatar has told Hamas leaders that they must leave the country. That’s effectively a death sentence because wherever they go, Israel will find them and kill them.
More broadly, the fate of terrorist scum everywhere is tied to what I believe will be the most important aspect of Trump’s foreign policy: His plan to stop Iran’s ability to spread mayhem and its quest for nuclear weapons.The reasons for his focus are strategic– — and personal.
The unsealing of the federal indictment Friday that revealed an Iranian government plot to assassinate Trump showed how far the radical Islamic regime is willing to go in its quest for power. This is the second Iranian plot to assassinate Trump the feds have busted, the first coming in August. The president-elect didn’t need another reason to go after the mad mullahs, but now he has one that is beyond dispute.
Tellingly, the Biden-Harris administration has said little about the plots, and its compliant press has treated them as ho-hum events.
Current policy is an autopilot copy of the Obama-Biden policy, which aimed to coax and bribe Iran into more moderate positions.
The effort failed miserably years ago, but has nonetheless continued out of weakness and a desire not to be tightly tethered to Israel and especially prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
That backdrop makes Trump’s election especially timely.
3- Who would have ever thought that MILK would be a political policy lynchpin? But, it motivated thousands of Amish, who are low propensity voters, to vote for Trump. They were voting against the unelected bureaucrats who use draconian methods to enforce regulations from The Swamp.
The Issue That Drove the Amish to the Polls in Pennsylvania
QUOTE: The Amish are not a politically engaged community, but the 2024 election was different. There was one issue that prompted these Pennsylvania residents to register to vote in “unprecedented numbers”—milk.
Earlier this year, there was a federal raid on a raw milk farm, Bird in Hand, that angered the community over the government’s heavy-handed response following reports of illness from consumers.
The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture stormed Amos Miller’s farm Jan. 4 after reports of illnesses in children linked to raw dairy products purchased there, according to the local media outlet Lancaster Farming.
The Amish community saw the move as an overzealous reach by the government and was planning to vote for GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump, whose party favors less government intervention.
“That was the impetus for them to say, ‘We need to participate,’ ” the source said of local Amish voters. “This is about neighbors helping neighbors.”
The Amish community rallied around Miller, who cited his religious beliefs as a reason for not adhering to Food and Drug Administration guidelines.
4- There is a lot of analysis that will continue for years to come of the 2024 election. For the moment, we appreciate these obvious big losers.
Five Big Losers in Donald Trump’s Landslide Victory
QUOTE: President-Elect Donald Trump’s landslide victory will likely go down in the books as the greatest political comeback in American history.
With every win, there is a loser. The biggest loser of the presidential race was Vice President Kamala Harris. But her failed campaign, once propped up by Democrats and media allies, also left many others with egg on their faces.
Below are five big losers after Trump’s massive victory.
1-Media Elites
The credibility of the establishment media appears to have hit rock bottom after it tried to smear Trump as fascist and a threat to democracy.
Americans already did not trust the media before the election. A Gallup poll in October found that Americans’ trust in the establishment media to report current events “fully, accurately and fairly” had plummeted to a record low.
2-Obamas
The Obamas’ massive effort to help the Harris campaign defeat Trump failed. The Obamas are the most esteemed members of the Democrat party after former President Barack Obama won in landslide victories in 2008 and 2012.
Voters rejected the Obama’s scare tactics. Early voting data suggests Trump performed historically well with black and Hispanic voters.
3-Mark Cuban
Cuban, a never-Trumper, strongly backed Harris as a campaign surrogate. He appeared for weeks on high profile shows, trying to bridge the gap between business leaders and the Harris campaign. He claimed Harris was not an ideological politician and defended her refusal to answer policy questions.
In the last week of the campaign, Cuban delivered a large gaffe that galvanized Trump’s base. Cuban claimed on The View that Trump was never around “strong, intelligent women.” Conservative women immediately took to social media to condemn his remark. Trump slammed Cuban’s claim by stating “all strong women, and women in general, should be very angry about this weak man’s statement.”
4-Liz Cheney
Cheney, another Trump hater, made a Democrat alliance with the Harris campaign, and it backfired. Cheney campaigned heavily with Harris in suburbs of rust belt states. At each campaign stop, Cheney ripped Trump as a threat to democracy, a rhetoric that voters rejected on Election Day.
The failed alliance suggests Cheney might have actually helped Trump.
5-Joe Biden
Voters soundly rejected the Biden administration’s unprecedented tactic of waging lawfare against Trump. Never before had a nominee of an American political party been indicted by an administration’s Justice Department.
5- You surely have seen or heard the various ways Democrat voters have reacted to Kamala losing. Some are shaving their heads, wearing special blue bracelets, swearing to never get married and have children. Some are just screaming and acting hysterical on social media.
We like this response from young conservative women.
Conservative women ready to celebrate Trump victory by having more babies — as liberal ladies swear off sex
QUOTE: While radical, lefty American women are swearing off sex and reproduction with GOP men in the wake of President-elect Donald Trump’s victory, saying they will not “spread for red,” conservative ladies are ready to celebrate – in the bedroom.
“Me waiting for my husband to get home from the fire dept. to ask if we can have another baby now that we can afford it. Thank you Trump,” reads the caption of a TikTok clip posted Wednesday by Illinois mom Tara Elsas.
Elsas, 30, can be seen dancing and twerking to Usher’s hit song “Hey Daddy (Daddy’s Home)” in the 11-second-long clip, which has amassed 66,000 views.
“The video was for entertainment purposes, but there really is so much truth behind it,” Elsas told The Post.
Elsas and her husband of four years have always known that they want to give their 20-month-old daughter at least one more sibling, she said. “But, as we all know, things are expensive and my husband is a firefighter, so that doesn’t come with a great salary.”
The Lincoln, IL. family’s dreams felt out of reach – until Trump’s landslide victory on Tuesday. “It was just a big sigh of relief,” Elsas said about the election outcome. “[Trump’s] campaign pledged to end the inflation nightmare and he has a plan to do so, which makes a big difference for our family,” she explained.
Additionally, “My husband works a lot of overtime, so Trump proposing no taxes on overtime is a huge thing for us. And extending the current Trump tax laws that are set to expire, that’s great for our family.”
Elsas also praised the next president for his promises to lower gas prices, drill domestically, and end the Russia-Ukraine War. “All of these things are going to enable us to have another child without the worry that inflation will keep growing, and to give our child the life they deserve.”
“We also feel that we will have more peace bringing another baby into this world . . . and that [Trump] will keep boys out of my daughter’s locker room and not allow them to be in her sports,” Elsas pointed out.
Like-minded women flooded the comments section of Elsas’ TikTok video.
6- The Trump team is gearing up to cut the waste out of much of The Swamp. This should be fun to watch.
RFK Jr. is expected to join Trump’s government after warning the ‘FDA’s war on public health is about to end,’ telling all employees to ‘pack your bags’
QUOTE: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been a vaccine skeptic, sometimes a conspiracy theorist, and he might just be a part of president-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet. In August, Kennedy suspended his presidential campaign and endorsed Trump; that same month, when asked, Trump said he’d “probably” give him a job. “He’s a brilliant guy. He’s a very smart guy. I’ve known him for a very long time,” Trump said at the time.
Perhaps that job will be in the world of public health. Kennedy’s background photo on X, pictures him and Trump shaking hands, captioned “make America healthy again,” so it’s clearly top of mind. Around two weeks ago, Kennedy posted to X—the social network owned by the world’s richest man Elon Musk, who might have a spot in Trump’s government, too—saying the “FDA’s war on public health is about to end. This includes its aggressive suppression of psychedelics, peptides, stem cells, raw milk, hyperbaric therapies, chelating compounds, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, vitamins, clean foods, sunshine, exercise, nutraceuticals and anything else that advances human health and can’t be patented by Pharma.”
He continued: “If you work for the FDA and are part of this corrupt system, I have two messages for you: 1. Preserve your records, and 2. Pack your bags.”
In an interview Wednesday, Kennedy continued his attack. He said there were entire departments in the FDA “that have to go, that are not doing their job.”
7- From the mouths of babes. Young people are tired for having sexual content pushed on them and do not think it advances the art of storytelling. Young people have shockingly displayed some great anti-culture behavior lately.
Teen Viewers Want to See Less Sexual Content in Movies, TV Shows, Report Finds
QUOTE: Research from the University of California—Los Angeles (UCLA) indicates that younger audiences are increasingly favoring television shows and movies that do not contain sexual content.
The newly published report, titled “Teens and Screens,” found that 62.4 percent of teenagers and young adults aged 14 to 24 believe that sexual content is not required to advance the plot of television programs and films.
The survey, conducted by UCLA’s Center for Scholars & Storytellers (CSS), a nonprofit organization focused on psychology research and media creation, polled 1,644 adolescents between the ages of 10 and 24 about their perceptions of various types of media.
The report notes that children under the age of 13 were not asked questions related to sex. Nevertheless, 63.5 percent of those surveyed still preferred storylines that feature platonic relationships instead of romantic ones.
PRAY for divine intervention.
PRAY for the safety and wisdom of the new administration.
THANK God.
