The self-proclaimed defenders of democracy, otherwise known as the Democratic Party, did not object to the certification of the election results for a Republican winner for the first time since 1989.
NEW: CNN’s Van Jones can’t stop smiling as Scott Jennings completely kills the pro-Harris vibe in the room.

Under the 12th Amendment, Congress must certify the results of every election before a new administration can take office, leading to an awkward moment for Vice President Kamala Harris as she bore witness to Senators listing every state she lost in November 2024.
Lawmakers can object to a state’s results, with 147 Republicans doing so following the controversial 2020 ballot just over four years ago, which was an anomaly under extremely suspicious election circumstances. However, despite their desire to be seen as staunch defenders of democratic processes, the Democrats have also dished out their fair share of objections to Republican President-elects.
11 objections were raised when Congress met to certify to Donald Trump’s first electoral victory in Jan. 2017, while 32 Democrats attempted to overturn the results of 2004’s presidential election. George W. Bush also saw opposition to his extraordinarily close win in 2000.
Unsurprisingly, Democrats did not object any year in which a party colleague won the election.
This was the first time Democrats haven't objected to a certification since 1989.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said he believes the Democrats lost the 2024 elections because Americans “didn’t realize how much” the party had done for them.
Sen. Schumer was appearing on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday, Jan. 5 when he was quizzed on a range of topics including the forthcoming Donald Trump administration. He was also questioned on the reasons for his party’s overwhelming defeat following remarks by Democrat strategist James Carville, who said the party had lost due to its poor handling of the economy.
Schumer disagreed with Carville’s analysis, and adding that the Democrats had failed to connect with “working families” due to a focus on the technicalities of lawmaking.
“We did a lot of good things, but all too often, we talked about the mechanics of the legislation and the details of the legislation, and we really didn’t show the kind of empathy and concern to average working families who didn’t realize how much we had done, and how much we cared for them.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett struggled to get her words out as the Democrat called for Donald Trump’s advisors to explain geopolitical topics to him in a “very elementary way.”
The Texas Rep. appeared on MSNBC over the weekend to discuss Trump’s transitional period ahead of next month’s inauguration.
Crockett, like many liberals, has expressed concern with Trump’s approach to dealing with foreign allies in relation to cross-border crime and immigration, while also raising interest in the possibility of acquiring Greenland from Danish control. However, amusingly, the 43-year-old appeared to struggle with her sentences when asked for her views on the forthcoming president.
“I, I, I, I don’t know. I mean, it is, it is, it is crazy that this guy is about to walk into the White House for a second time,” she spluttered.
After going on a monologue about Trump’s approach to foreign nations, including a closer working relationship with Russia and Vladimir Putin, Crockett added, nonsensically, “We’ve got to have really good people around Trump, and right now the people he’s picking are not the best people because somebody needs to explain to him in a very elementary way why we don’t go after our friends.”
NEW: Rep. Jasmine Crockett has a hard time getting words out of her mouth as she suggests Trump is dumb & needs to be talked to like he is in elementary school.
If you’re going to say something like that, maybe don’t talk like you’re in elementary school.
There are so many incredible things that Jasmine Crockett has done, like called upon to her own authority because she had an honorary degree, wrongly cited the supremacy clause in a 10th amendment discussion, & how she puts on a Blaccent to pretend she wasn’t raised in privileged
Former First Lady Michelle Obama‘s recent “Happy Holidays” post, which addressed people feeling “anxious and uncertain” after the November election, received massive backlash online.
In an Instagram video, Michele Obama highlighted the work of the Obama Presidential Center while acknowledging that “it’s been a difficult few months for so many of us”:
“…folks are feeling a little bit anxious and uncertain,” she began.
“But even during these tough times, there are plenty of reasons to stay hopeful,” Obama added.
Obama’s post faced criticism from commenters who called her out for r not-so-subtly bringing up the victory of President-elect Donald Trump when talking about how the last “few months”
Michelle Obama says “happy holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas” because she’s a see you next Tuesday.
She then promotes the racist and sexist programs she supports.

The reason that people get shingles later in life is down to a vexing characteristic of the chickenpox virus. It goes dormant, hides, then pops back up again. The varicella-zoster virus can sit around for years before it decides to flare up again in mid-life to old age, and the shingles it produces are usually much worse and more painful than the original bout of chickenpox.
Vice President Kamala Harris has gone from chickenpox to shingles. Americans have had to endure the infection for the past four years (her vice presidency), but after losing the 2024 presidential race to Donald Trump she has reactivated (the shingles). OK, the analogy isn’t perfect—it’s not quite as painful listening to her muddle through words because we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. There’s just more than a month to go before she leaves the White House finally, which is probably what makes it bearable.
But like varicella-zoster, today’s Kam-Kam is a more virulent “strain.” Or, an even drunker strain. Harris is the queen of word salad, hauling out the exact same lines in every interview. When asked a direct question about anything, from gas prices to foreign policy, Harris would repeat some non-sequitur about the “hopes, dreams, and ambitions of the American people.” Former Fox News anchor turned podcast host Megyn Kelly is probably the foremost commentator on Harris’ glossolalia. This 53-second clip is worth your time.
Observers have long speculated on whether Harris has a problem with booze, or perhaps prescription drugs. What explains her inability to respond normally to straightforward questions? Others have asked if she has some sort of executive function disorder (aside from her incompetence as vice president). The woman’s affect and speech patterns are that bizarre.
More and more clips of Kamala Harris delivering remarks while drunk and/or high are surfacing. Question remains: Can she stay on the wagon until the election? pic.twitter.com/huU5nk3L1h
How do we explain her nails-on-chalkboard “consolation” video to her supporters after losing the election? She sounded like your old college friend leaving drunk voicemails at 1:30 a.m. with her “don’t you ever let anyone take your power from you” message.
She’s at it again, and it’s getting harder to find plausible non-alcoholic excuses. Check out this recent clip from C-Span, including the trademark cackle.
KAMALA CRINGE “I ask you to remember the context in which you exist… Yeah, I did that..” *Cackles maniacally*
Senate Democrats have proposed a bill to abolish the Electoral College in their latest bid to upend the Constitution.
The bill, introduced just over a month after Donald Trump won the presidential election, was proposed by three progressive Senators, namely Brian Schatz of Hawaii, Dick Durbin of Illinois and Peter Welch of Vermont.
The trio said removing the Electoral College in favor of the popular vote would “restore democracy,” with Sen. Schatz claiming the current system is “outdated and undemocratic.” Durbin, meanwhile, said the bill echoed a pre-2000 to abolish the Electoral College, adding that it was “time to retire this 18th century invention.” The United States was also an “18th century invention,” mind you.
Sen. Welch also waded in. He said:
“Our democracy is at its strongest when everyone’s voice is heard – and right now our elections aren’t as representative as they should be because of the outdated and flawed Electoral College.”
The popular vote has largely favored Democrats in recent years. Prior to Trump’s victory in November, George W. Bush was the only Republican in the 21st century to win the popular vote (in 2004).
Trump joined the list of GOP popular vote winners last month, with the Republican beating his Democrat rival by 2.3 million votes. Even under a popular vote system, which would require a constitutional amendment to introduce, Trump obviously would still have won the election.
BREAKING: A group of Senate Democrats introduce bill to abolish the Electoral College, restoring democracy by allowing the direct election of presidents through popular vote alone.
That’s not how the Constitution works. Article II, Section 1, Clauses 2 – 4 detail how electors are appointed & how they cast their votes for President and Vice President. Then read the 12th amendment for superseding updates. . Read the Constitution instead of grandstanding.
Oh, Hunter Biden. Has there ever been a presidential child so “troubled” as Hunter Biden? Of course, the people we often call “troubled,” the people we say are “suffering from” addiction or some other condition, are usually the people causing a great deal of trouble for other, innocent people.
First, Hunter Biden leaves his laptop at a computer repair shop, where, naturally, someone boots it up and starts taking a look. They found what appears to be pretty clear evidence of hard drug use, consorting with prostitutes, and other unsavory activities. The New York Post, America’s oldest newspaper, broke the story, and then all hell broke loose.
Or, rather, it didn’t, because the entire mainstream media hushed it up in concert with the Democrat party. Twitter not only silenced the Post’s tweets about the story, but banned the newspaper entirely from Twitter. Democrats and liberal media uniformly called the Post a nest of liars, purveyors of “disinformation,” and buried the story to help Joe Biden “win” the 2020 presidential election. The days of Watergate-style reporters committed to the truth were obviously over.
The Post has since been vindicated, of course, but the damage was done. Former CBS reporter Catherine Herridge now says her former employer outright ignored a directive from the CEO of CBS instructing reporters and editors to “probe into” the Biden laptop story.
And as everyone now knows, a senile President Joe Biden issued a sweeping pardon getting rid of all crimes his son committed. His illegal gun purchase? Gone. His tax evasion? Gone. Even the judge in Hunter’s tax case felt compelled to call foul, describing the president’s actions as an attempt to “rewrite history.”
But even worse, the president’s pardon covers any crimes his son may have committed between 2014 and 2024. This seems very convenient as allegations of influence peddling by the Biden’s senior and junior with Ukrainian nationals apply to that period.
Now, a property owner is accusing Hunter Biden of owing him a pile of back rent from a home Hunter allegedly rented from him. Worse, says property owner Shaun Maguire, Hunter tried to pay it back through his “art” made of human feces.
According to Inside Edition (which also made the video at the beginning of this article):
Hunter Biden’s former landlord claims he stiffed him on a whooping $300,000 in rent. Shaun Maguire says he rented a $4.25 million home in California to the president’s son back in 2019. Maguire claims Hunter tried to pay with his art. Meanwhile, President Biden is facing more fallout for issuing the pardon for his son. Behind the scenes, CNN reports it was First Lady Dr. Jill who pushed for Hunter’s pardon.

Strangely, Fox News had two published stories on the topic, but they do not appear on the Fox site anymore, and you get brought to an error page if you click them. The headlines are still listed in search results on the Fox website however. The New York Post’s former article on this story also leads to an error page. It’s standard practice to issue a correction at the start or end of a story if there was an error made in details, and if a story is completely wrong they’ll keep the article up but note that it’s been retracted. Perhaps they received a likely baseless but threatening legal note that would’ve been a headache and figured it would just be easier to remove the article – but who knows.
The anti-Americanism of the modern left would be unbelievable to a typical American from the mid-20th century. Since the hippies of the 1960s, anti-U.S. sentiment has grown to the point where it’s considered normal for half the country to hate its own nation. Leftist academics, policy wonks, and news anchors regularly call the United States an evil global colonial empire. To them, everything the U.S. does is wrong and causes “harm” to someone, somewhere.
And under no circumstances are you allowed (if you’re anywhere on the left) to show allegiance or patriotism to your own country. Does that sound like an exaggeration? The town council in Edison, New Jersey, just voted to ban American flags during public meetings. Oh, of course, they gave themselves plausible deniability by claiming to ban the use of “props” by speakers from the public. But American flags are considered a “prop,” too, and is anyone truly buying the claim that the signs or charts that speakers might use were some kind of distraction from public business?
In typical modern leftist fashion, the council went even farther.
When a local lawyer with a small American flag took the podium, the council had him removed from the building by security. That lawyer, Joel Bassoff, tried to warn them during the removal that they should really consult a competent lawyer because what they were doing was going to find them on the losing end of a lawsuit. But leftists have not yet experienced enough consequences for their behavior to take that sage advice seriously.
The election of Donald Trump is just the beginning; serious punishments have to be carried out on public officials who violate the constitution. They’ve had free rein to abuse conservative Americans for so many years that leftist politicos (rightly, unfortunately) believe they’re above the law.
Basoff said, “I’m holding an American flag to represent the constitutional values” as an increasingly annoyed Council President Nishith Patel banged his gavel in frustration. Then like the petty dictator he is, Patel announced to the security officer, “his time is forfeited.” The compliant police officer was happy to carry out unconstitutional orders and made sure Basoff was kicked out of the room.
Check out this video of the incident below:

That tweet above is from Scott Pressler, a conservative activist who made huge gains in Republican voting this year, persuading thousands of normally non-political Pennsylvania Amish to go to the polls this year.
If you support banning the American flag anywhere in America, you can kindly leave America.
The Democrats are celebrating the news that their party “claimed four Senate victories in four states that Donald Trump won.
I guess we can’t blame them for looking for any silver lining after Kamala Harris’ crushing defeat – and Republicans winning a government trifecta, albeit with a razor-thin majority in the House.
The Democratic Party’s official X account wrote “Democrats claimed four Senate victories in four states that Trump won. That’s the most Senate races lost in states won by the presidential winner’s party since 2004.”
Given the Democrats’ woeful election night, it’s no surprise that they’re claiming hollow victories wherever possible, though admittedly I’m a bit surprised they’re still technically boasting about losing. Remember; they’re claiming a gain of four Senators to make you forget that they, on net balance, lost Senate seats.
If anything, this just indicates that Independents split their vote on these particular races.
Kamala Harris lost to a man she labelled Adolf Hitler in a campaign which saw two assassination attempts on his life. And she continued turning up the rhetoric despite that.
She lost not only the Electoral College or the seven battleground states, but the popular vote too. Her party remained as the minority group in the House of Representatives, and it lost control of the Senate. The soon-to-be President Trump now has full control over a federal government which he believes has persecuted him.
But hey, good thing about those four Senators!
Kamala Harris lost both the popular vote and Electoral College.
Kamala Harris released a bizarre 30-second video on Tuesday in her first public appearance in 20 days.
The Vice President has kept largely out of the limelight in recent weeks, with White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre defending her vacation to Hawaii. Her absence came amid an internal meltdown within the Democratic Party over the decision-making which led to a historic second Donald Trump presidency.
“Don’t let anyone take your power,” she told supporters in the clip.
“You have the same power that you did before November 5. And you have the same purpose that you did, and you have the same ability to engage and inspire. So don’t ever let anybody or any circumstance take your power from you” she said in the post which was shared on the party’s official account.
The video had many questioning if she was drunk – which many had already questioned during countless prior public appearences.
Give it a watch and decide for yourself below:
JUST IN: Kamala Harris releases new video telling her supporters they have the “same power” they did before.
