This year's campaign has been one heck of a roller-coaster.
The assassination attempts on President-Elect Donald Trump, the dropping out of His Fraudulency Joe Biden after his disastrous debate performance, the anointment of Kamala Harris and election of Trump are just a few of the things that made the election campaign most interesting.
Time Magazine, for the second time, has named Trump as its "Person of the Year".
More Republican women are buying guns, and Biden-Harris policies may be the reason.
Women are acquiring guns as they feel unsafe with the open border, crime and the instability of the economy.
Fox News reported:
More Republican women are becoming gun owners, a trend one Second Amendment advocate says is a "direct result of many Biden-Harris policies."
"Ultimately, we feel unsafe," Katie Pointer Baney told Fox News Digital. "When we see a very porous border, when we see rising violent crime, when there's general instability in the economy … And a firearm is one of the best tools out there in order to protect yourself and protect your family."
Baney is managing director of government affairs for Delta Defense and the U.S. Concealed Carry Association (USCCA), which provides education and training for millions of gun owners.
Gun ownership rates among American adults as a whole are holding steady at 31%, according to polling data released by Gallup last week. But there has been a slight decrease in men owning guns, offset by a 5% increase in the share of women who reported owning a firearm.

Another great reason to be glad the Democrats have been voted out.
Absolutely sickening and inhuman. Thank God this horrific and prejudiced administration is leaving. https://t.co/ToP68Aq6Oy

I am pleased that Trump won and that the GOP has control of both houses of congress. Finally, problems in the country will be fixed. (Cross your fingers.)
It is funny how the finger-pointing is going on in the media and within the Democrat Party on why Kamal Harris lost. It really boils down to her. She was a lousy candidate who couldn't (or wouldn't answer questions) and really didn't hold press conferences. She never had been tested in a hard-fought campaign before. The elections she had in California were essentially just exercises of handing offices to her.
The Democrat Party was rejected over their crazy policies such as open borders, gender surgeries for inmates and children, males in women's sports, locker rooms and restrooms. People have had enough. They will eventually be relegated to minority party status unless they do some serious soul-searching and move more to the center of American thought. They are too far left and have been taken over by lunatics. I seriously doubt that Jack Kennedy or FDR would recognize today's Democrat Party if they came back for a day.
It looks like the DOJ is dropping the prosecutions against Trump. We'll have to see.
Today, it looks like I'll be spending my day indoors again as another snow storm has arrived and left about an inch or two overnight.
Our long national nightmare is over.
Last night, I stayed up until President-Elect Donald Trump finished his victory speech. That was around 1:00 am. I haven't stayed up this late in ages. I'm usually in bed by 9:00.
The last time I remember doing so was election night in 2016, also for a Trump win. Except that I was in my motorhome in an RV park near Springfield, Illinois, the "Land of Lincoln".
I just got up our of bed to find about three inches of fresh snow outside.
I am pleased that Trump won and the GOP retains control of the House of Representatives and regains control of the Senate.
Locally, Nella Domenici did not win a Senate seat and neither did Yvette Harrell win back her House seat.
Kari Lake's loss was a disappointment in Arizona. But, at least Sen. Ted Cruz was re-elected.
A little while ago, I cast my ballot vote at the Whispering Cedars Fire House polling place.
I was voter number 40.
Here is this year's sticker:
Today is Election Day.
This will be a watershed day in the nation.
Much has been said and written about what a Harris victory means. There is one thing that is sure to happen if she does win (pray to God she doesn't and get your behind out and vote for Trump): a surge in gun sales and ammunition.
The Washington Examiner posted the following:
Sales of guns took a temporary pause last month as the public headed into an Election Day that could determine the future of the Second Amendment.
The FBI said background checks fell, and the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the firearms industry group that parses those reports for sales numbers, said they were down about 5%.
Still, NSSF said the market remains strong and recorded the 63rd consecutive month of sales over 1 million.
“These figures tell elected officials where America stands on support for the Second Amendment,” NSSF spokesman Mark Oliva said.
In 2016, when it appeared that Hillary Clinton was headed to a solid victory over Donald Trump, gun sales surged at the end of the campaign.
This year, the race appears tied, though each side believes it is ahead.
As a result, said some gun sellers, many have paused purchases, especially those who are concerned that Harris will revert to her preelection positions of pushing for gun control and possibly gun confiscation.
Should she win, they anticipate a flood of customers, new and old.
“With the polls razor close, a lot of buyers are taking a wait-and-see approach. However, given the history of social unrest and rioting following election days, we expect a spike in sales no matter who wins. Fear sells firearms, and when people’s timelines and news feeds are filled with people committing violence, they naturally seek comfort by buying guns,” said Justin Anderson, the marketing director for Hyatt Guns in Charlotte, North Carolina, one of the nation’s largest gun stores.

Democrats have been hell-bent on attacking our Second Amendment rights. That has been no secret.
They are trying to weaponize banks and other financial institutions to track firearm purchases when people buy them with credit and debit cards. That's why my last two gun purchases were with cash.
Newsweek posted an opinion piece by Representatives Elise Stefanik & Andy Barr on their legislative fight over this weaponization.
It begins with:
Under the Biden-Harris Administration, there has been an unconstitutional and relentless attack on the Second Amendment rights and privacies of American citizens. In September 2023, gun-grabbing organizations and far Left politicians including New York Attorney General Letitia James cheered on the creation of a new Merchant Category Code (MCC) for firearms retailers within the payment processing system.
MCCs, seemingly introduced for regulatory or monitoring purposes, carry significant implications for the privacy of consumers and equitable treatment of lawful transactions.
The creation of MCCs specifically for firearms retailers is weaponizing the financial system against lawful gun owners by seeking to label and track transactions on firearms and ammunition. To counteract this infringement on our rights, we introduced the Protecting Privacy in Purchases Act.
Our bill aims to ensure that firearms retailers are not unjustly targeted by payment card networks or other financial entities, and purchases by law-abiding citizens are protected from monitoring and denial by the government. Specifically, our bill ensures that firearms retailers are not considered differently than general or sporting goods merchants.
This protection preserves the privacy of Americans making lawful purchases, prevents the creation of a backdoor registry of gun owners, and guarantees that legal commerce is not unfairly surveilled or impeded based on the nature of the goods sold.

The only honest reporting on this election campaign seems to be coming from the foreign media and very few U.S. media outlets.
Here's the latest from Sky News Australia:

Last week, Gov. Tim Walz, Kamala Harris's running mate, appeared at a rally in Window Rock, Arizona. Window Rock is the capital of the Navajo Nation.
For some odd reason, Native Americans tend to vote Democrat. But in doing so, they are cutting their own throats as the open border policies of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are allowing the drug cartels target tribal reservations.
The Daily Signal reported:
The Biden-Harris administration’s border crisis has had negative implications for all Americans, but one group that has suffered more than most—but received less attention than others—are American Indians living on reservations along the border.
As part of their efforts to smuggle drugs and traffic human beings across the southern border, Mexican cartels have specifically targeted and devastated these reservations.
Jurisdictional issues, insufficient law enforcement, and the open border all allow cartels to exploit tribal land and proliferate deadly substances like fentanyl on American Indian land.
Hopefully, former President Trump's rally in Albuquerque yesterday will do some good in swaying tribes to vote more Republican than in the past.

Of all people, he should know how bad Harris was to San Francisco and California as a whole. He was a disaster as governor and he was instrumental in the near-destruction of the Republican Party in California. The state is now essentially a one-party state thanks, to a great extent, to him. That's why the state, known now as Commiefornia, has a mass exodus of people fleeing it.
I then went to the source on the story, The Gateway Pundit, who wrote:
Arnold Schwarzenegger, the self-proclaimed former “Republican” governor who famously barked at Americans opposing draconian COVID restrictions with a blunt “Screw your freedom!” during the COVID-19 pandemic, has endorsed Kamala Harris for president.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, once the iconic “Terminator,” has now rebranded himself as a “capitulator.”
Ignoring the Constitution and principles of conservative Americans, Arnold now parrots the media’s anti-Trump narrative and bashes the party he supposedly represented.
Birds of a feather flock together, right?

Former President Donald Trump explains about the garbage truck.
"This truck is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden," Donald Trump.
After His Fraudulency Joe Biden's major gaffe in calling Trump supporters "garbage", with a devilish sense of humor, former President Donald Trump arrived at his Green Bay, Wisconsin rally in a garbage truck and wearing s sanitation worker vest.
First, it was Hillary Clinton calling Trump supporters "deplorables" in 2016. Now, it is His Fraudulency Joe Biden calling them "garbage".
Yup, desperation!
Over 74 Million Americans voted for Donald Trump in the last election.

It is very hard for a candidate for any office to hide their past, particularly their statements and policy positions with videos and documents surfacing.
Such is the case of Kamala Harris. She is trying to run away from her anti-Second Amendment past and the NRA-ILA has posted an article on her "big problem" as she has already shown who she is.
The article begins with:
At a town hall event on October 21 in Royal Oak, Michigan, Democrat presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris was asked how she would make “impactful and immediate progress around gun violence” if she was elected with a Republican majority in Congress.
In her by-now classic “word salad” style, Harris responded that she thinks of the issue “through the lens of many experiences,” then touched upon the “direct trauma for those who have been directly affected by gun violence,” and ended up at “the macropoint” – namely, the “false choice” between thinking that one is either in favor of the Second Amendment or that “you want to take everyone’s guns away.” She offered herself as living proof of this “macropoint” because she’s not only a gun owner “in favor of the Second Amendment,” but believes in “assault weapons bans, red flag laws, universal background checks” and other “common sense gun safety laws.”
It was made obvious at the start of the October 21 event that it was tightly scripted. Moderator Maria Shriver told an audience member that only questions that had been “predetermined” would be permitted, with no spontaneous questions from the floor. Even within this forced and stilted setup, Harris fell flat. It took her until the last few seconds of the over five-minute exchange to actually deal with the question. “We need common sense gun safety laws and I will continue, I’ve done it throughout my career, work with all of our colleagues across the aisle and I know that we can make progress,” she said, “but I’m not trying to take anyone’s guns away from them.”
The explanation for Harris’ emphatic new identity as a gun enthusiast and supporter of constitutional freedoms is that she is struggling to put her past under wraps, a past in which she wholeheartedly embraced extreme gun bans and confiscation, and which has now come back to haunt her.
To read the rest of the article, go here.
The lamestream media (MSNBC, et al.) and the Harris campaign are trying, in their desperation, to compare former President Donald Trump as a Nazi. Most recently, comparing his Madison Square Garden rally last night to the Nazi rally there in the 1930s. This is likely to backfire on them.
As we cannot get a fair, unbiased view of the campaign from our media, Australia's Sky News sees things as they actually are: desperation.
They pointed out that Trump lives in New York City and Madison Square Garden is the premier venue for sports and non-sports events.
