Top Story
The top story this week, of course, is the presidential election results, regardless of who won. In this case, it appears that Donald Trump has been reelected after four years out of office. Now, without reference to whether or not that's good or he's good, it has to be a phenomenal event, given the 8-year drive from the Left, from politicians to the media, to vilify and demonize this man. They've presented him as Hitler personified, a Russian shill, an existential threat to democracy, and, in all likelihood, the end of the world as we know it. In the story above, NBC says, "Through a firehose of false and polarizing information and smears of his rivals ... Trump painted America as a corrupt ... nation." Because, even now, he is the ultimate threat, and the Left and its media won't back down. Somehow, against all odds, he's been voted back in.
And, #2
The second item is almost as significant as the first. Voters have given the GOP control of the Senate. A Republican president with a Republican Senate can be a powerful thing. (I should note, however, that our Congress has been a major flop ... for the past 20 years or more, so I'm not holding my breath on this.) It may or may not be a significant outcome, but it does say something about the American people. Latinos swung from their Democratic history. The abortion question didn't fix the Democratic ticket. And we'll have to see the outcome in the House.

In Annie, Get Your Gun, Annie sings, "My tiny baby brother, who's never read a book, Knows one sex from the other, All he had to do was look." Well, Delaware elected a guy that isn't quite as savvy as Annie's baby brother to represent them in Congress. Sarah McBride is listed as the first openly transgender person elected to Congress. (Here's a little tidbit for you. Look "her" up. You'll find "she" was a male at birth, but from all the sources I found "she" was born "Sarah Elizabeth McBride." I found no sources that would tell me "her" original, male name. Talk about a whitewash.) I think I would have voted for Annie's baby brother before I would have voted for someone who cannot tell the obvious.
The New American Standard
So, Trump won the White House and Republicans won the Senate, but America appears to be establishing another new standard: abandon the most defenseless. After the Supreme Court cleared the Roe v Wade obstacle, the "pro-kill-the-babies" group have gone on a rampage to make sure babies would die young. Seven states voted to make sure babies could still be killed in the womb. The demand to be allowed to kill babies as a contraception method says really horrible things about too many Americans.
To B, or Not to B?
As a result of Harris's loss, there is a swell of interest in the 4B movement. It's a Korean movement that pushes women to refuse heterosexual marriage, childbirth, and dating men. The aim is to punish men for Trump winning. The outcome, of course, if taken to its natural conclusion would be the end of the human race. There! That oughta teach 'em.
Your Best Source for Fake News
The Bee went wild on this election week. There was the story of Democrats calling for an end to the popular vote. The Bee included a picture of Trump giving his victory speech wearing a Hitler mustache. I particularly liked the story of how America has unburdened itself from what has been. Oh, and the classic headline, "Trump Beats Another Woman."
Must be true; I read it on the Internet.

And a bonus entry, just for fun:
Truth in Advertising.
There's a commercial for an AI service for business to help automate all sorts of things. In the commercial, an AI cat shows a system that scans products and automatically rejects defective ones. The cat knocks one of them off the belt, and the human nearby says, "That one was fine." I like it. An advertisement for AI that promises it will mess things up for you. Truth in advertising.

Also interestingly inaccurate in that article is the claim that Harris is the first woman of color to win her party's nomination. She didn't win it, it was handed to her without a single vote from her party.
And, #2
It has been interesting to me too watch all the political commentators to be so giddy about Trump's win along with the Senate as if they're going to be able to fix all our woes now. But if I have learned anything in the last 8 years, if not longer, no conservative presidential effort maintains any holding once the liberals get back into power. I've said before, people like Trump have simply delayed the inevitable of this country striking the rocks.

The fact that someone that denies reality got elected, and that pro-abortion efforts widely won, goes to agree with my previous statement.
The New American Standard
With that heading, that topic didn't go the direction I thought it did, though the country did go the direction I thought it would when it comes to abortion. With the Dobbs decision, we actually pulled the mask off all the fake pro-lifers. I'm not saying we give up the fight, but Dobbs was only one baby step, and it is starting to look like we're about to fall back down.

I heard about this and wondered, "Weren't you the same women threatening the same thing when Roe got overturned." Clearly you ladies can't stand by your convictions about not having rampant sex with irresponsible men. Your threats rang hollow then, and even more hollow now." Celibacy as protest is not going to hold much staying power to these women who want abortion legal so they can have sex.
In Other News--Maybe this was a case like “A Boy Named Sue,” where a girl’s name was given to a male newborn to make him grow up tough. If so, obviously it backfired.
To B, or Not to B?--The report on the “4B” movement made me laugh for its lunacy. Don’t we already have a feminist movement like that? It’s called lesbianism. And I think such a movement would penalize the protestors just as much as it would possibly “punish men.” However, such a protest would bring the positive side effect of potentially reducing elective abortions, so that’s a good aspect of it.
Lorna, all the sources (inclucing the AI) said Sarah was named Sarah at birth ... and was a male. Eventually they said, "There are no records of Sarah's birth name." I find that hard to believe, and I'm sure someone can say, but erasing it so thorougly from the Internet seems difficult.
I was talking to someone else about the 4B movement. I said, "Well, if they succeeded, they'd wipe out the entire protesters in a generation." "Yes," he said, "but we'd have a lot more cats around." (In case someone missed that, it's a reference to "cat ladies," lonely women surrounded by cats.)
Between things like 4B, unlimited abortion, and the alphabet soup, it looks like the left is simply going to eliminate themselves and their political philosophy by eliminating their future generations. If they want to eliminate themselves and their future, should we stop them?
It does seem like a comedy of errors, doesn't it?
Yes, the alphabet soup folks are evolutionary dead ends other than their ability to purchase human children for their amusement and the desire to end the lives of their offspring seems counterproductive over the long term.
