Michael Dorstewitz spent the runup to the presidential election ranting about Kamala Harris. The day before the election, he huffed: “One day before Election Day Republicans and Team Trump are building coalitions and making their final arguments, while Democrats and Team Harris complain about the electoral process, and make plans to disqualify Trump.” He concluded: “The goal tomorrow is to overwhelm Democrats — make it ‘too big to rig’ and win both the Electoral College and the popular vote. No matter what, we’ll have to accept the fact that Democrats will still complain about it.” No mention, of course, of how Trump continues to refuse to accept the election outcome in 2020. Indeed, Dorstewitz continued to laughably and pedantically deny Trump had any role in the Capitol riot: “Jan. 6, 2021, was a riot — not an ‘insurrection’ — and Trump neither took part in it, sanctioned it, nor instigated it.”
Dorstewitz was much happier with Trump’s win, as we noted. He continued to shout the praises of Trump, fret that his extremism will be countered (and lash out further at Harris) in numerous other columns:
Shortly after noon on Thursday, Daily Caller reporter Greg Price offered some interesting observations.
“Donald Trump has been the President-Elect for not even two days,” Price said, yet:
- [Fashion designer/manufacturer] Steve Madden is halting manufacturing in China by half in a year
- Hamas calls for an end to the war in the Middle East
- The Iran-backed Houthis announced a ceasefire
- Putin said he’s ready to work toward peace
“Elections have consequences!!” Price added. “#PeaceThroughStrength”
[…]When push came to shove, Harris couldn’t overcome Harris herself. She couldn’t overcome the vacuous, unserious failure that voters saw in her.
And she couldn’t overcome the strength and aura of competence and success they saw in Trump.

President-elect Donald Trump’s team picks so far prove that he’s dead serious about draining the bureaucratic swamp.
However, many of them — primarily cabinet-level positions — will require Senate confirmation.
One position that doesn’t need confirmation is Director of Government Efficiency (DOGE). a temporary position that was a Trump brainchild.
He appointed noted businessmen Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to run it.
[…]The GOP not only took the White House, it also garnered control of both chambers of Congress. The last time Republicans did that was in 2016 — when Trump became the 45th president.
However, just because we control Congress, it doesn’t mean it’s all downhill from here. We got a hint of that on Wednesday when Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., was eliminated from consideration as Senate majority leader after the first round of voting.
Scott knows something of the real world, having started from nothing to build a successful healthcare business before entering politics.
Plus, he’s a Trump-supporting, “America First” senator.

If President Gerald R. Ford were alive today, he could once again announce to the nation, as he did a half-century earlier, “Our long national nightmare is over.”
Most pollsters got the now-two-week-old election wrong and predicted a squeaker.
Instead we got a rout, with Trump taking home 312 electoral votes for the win, made possible by more than 76 million voters — more than any GOP candidate in history.
[…]Chaos appeared to continue throughout that first campaign, his presidency, and his two succeeding campaigns, the last of which was interrupted by a rash of state and federal indictments and lawsuits, prompting the birth of a new word, “Lawfare,” and with it, more chaos.
But the voting public discovered they didn’t really know what chaos was until a professional politician named Joe Biden entered the White House.
And now that chaos is gone, and replaced by a new chaos — a more joyful chaos, one in which even pro football players perform the iconic Trump-YMCA dance after making a big play.

President-elect Donald J. Trump promised to make America great again during the next four years. He should also strive to make America normal again.
Our children deserve it, and it would vastly improve the moral health of the nation.
