A new Democrat ad voiced by Julia Roberts shows a woman smiling sheepishly at her MAGA husband as she walks to the voting booth, makes eye contact with another woman — a la bonds of sisterhood stare — and then colors in the circle by Kamala Harris-Tim Waltz. Oh, she’s a sneaky, wascally wabbit, that one.

Donald Trump has won. Now everyone from foreign leaders and foreign dignitaries to billionaire businessmen and more are trying to quickly turn their open MAGA hatred into “MAGA! My amigo!” As they should. But let’s not forget: These are the same people who think MAGAs are garbage.

A Republican pundit on CNN shut down his fellow election night panelists after telling them the truth and nothing but the truth about Donald Trump's White House win, and it was a truth that went, in essence, like this: Dear Democrats, MAGAs are not “garbage” and “Nazis” and advancing that narrative is in large part why Kamala Harris lost.

A couple of Democrats who previously supported the right of boys to pretend to be girls and play in female sports are now suddenly singing a different tune, reversing course, and claiming boys shouldn't be allowed to pretend to be girls after all.

Rep. Elise Stefanik has vowed in her new role as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations to take on the global entity that she describes as a “den of antisemitism” and an “apologist for Iran.” She also said the Oct. 7 terror attack “never would have happened” if Donald Trump, now the president-elect, were in the White House on that fateful day in 2023.

On the heels of President Biden’s sweeping pardon of son Hunter’s crimes — both convicted and acknowledged, as well as any he may or may not have committed between Jan. 1, 2014, and Dec. 1, 2024 — comes this call from other Democrats: Hey, let’s get everybody pardoned for everything before President-elect Donald Trump is inaugurated!

Communists are America’s enemies. China is America’s enemy. These are guiding compasses that do not and should not change. We forget them not only at our peril, but at our utter demise.

China President Xi Jinping said during a New Year’s address that the communist country’s economy faces some “challenges of uncertainties” in 2025, due in large part to Donald Trump’s incoming presidency. Whenever a communist quivers, the free world can breathe a bit easier.

It’d be great if the seemingly sane and smooth transitory nature of the certification process continued into the new year’s politics. But anyone who’s watched politics for more than a blink knows Democrats are already campaigning, already hunkering, already plotting how to hurt President-elect Donald Trump.
