Bigfoot heard ‘screaming,’ ‘whooping’ in Connecticut Sasquatch hotspot

Bigfoot was caught making a ruckus in Connecticut’s Sasquatch hotspot last year, according to a recent report by The Bigfoot Field Research Organization.

A Fairfield County resident heard the hairy giant’s “screaming/long-duration whooping” just after midnight on Oct. 17, 2023 — sparking a barking dog frenzy and sending owls into a terrified silence.

Election snowflakes rush to NYC shrinks’ offices after Trump win

Liberals in deep-blue New York City shocked and disturbed by President-elect Donald Trump’s election victory are flooding shrinks’ inboxes looking for appointments.

“It’s a perfect storm for New York therapists,” said Manhattan psychologist Chloe Carmichael, who estimated she’s received a 15% spike in inquiries from patients. “It’s a repeat of 2016, where a lot of people feel really scared and traumatized and angry.”

On Wednesday morning, New York City-based psychotherapist Alyson Cohen woke up to a deluge of paranoid texts from clients begging for extra appointments this week, many of whom claimed to be “afraid for their futures and that of their children.” 

“I’ve even already heard [from] some female clients who say they are now second guessing having children out of fears for their health as it relates to pregnancy-related medical care,” she said. 

Here’s the part that’s going to have the matrimonial bar beginning to extend their St. Bart’s holiday reservations from one to two, even three weeks:

It’s worse for couples, said Lisa Brateman, a psychotherapist and relationship specialist in Midtown.

Romance hit the rock for relationships where each person voted for different candidates, Brateman said.

“If a woman was saying ‘What about my rights as a woman?’ and her boyfriend or husband voted for Trump, it felt like a personal unwillingness to understand them,” she said.

When he left office in 2019, Maine’s governor Paul LePage left behind a budget surplus of $28.6 million. All proper-thinking socialists in Maine and across the country, detested LePage because he kept vetoing as unaffordable his state’s Democrats’s spending wet dreams, so when was term-limited out, hosannahs were heard from Maine’s southern border to the terminus of the Tofu Line in Bar Harbor. A Democrat was installed in the Governor’s Mansion, her fellow looters were voted complete control of all three branches of government, and together they set to work. That has worked out exactly as planned, so that when the current governor departs in two years, LePage’s surplus will be merely an unpleasant memory from the past: Today, Maine Faces $949.2 Million Budget Shortfall for 2026-2027.

Maine’s constitution requires a balanced budget, each year. But not to worry, it can and will be made up by higher taxes, and certainly not with spending cuts: those are, as we all know, not spending, but “investments”.


Well of course he does; so do all his fellow Democrats who are demanding that the present voter pool be replaced by more obedient subjects.

“They let me down — Me, a distinguished historian!”

The “polling Nostradamus” who had a nervous breakdown election night when his prediction of a Kamalla victory went so badly wrong (I posted a fun tape of that disintegration here), now has a fuller explanation: He wasn’t wrong, the voters were.

Presidential Historian Blames ‘Disinformation’ And Bigotry For His Incorrect Election Prediction

Historian Allan Lichtman on Thursday largely blamed “disinformation” and bigotry for his wrong prediction that Vice President Kamala Harris would defeat President-elect Donald Trump in Tuesday’s elections.

Lichtman accurately forecast nine of the 10 last elections before wrongly predicting Harris would be victorious, according to USA Today. The historian, on his YouTube channel, argued that voters were not “rational” or “pragmatic” due to what he characterized as a massive uptick in “disinformation” and Trump’s promotion of “xenophobia,” “misogyny” and “racism.”

“I think two things this year, and maybe going forward, broke this premise of a rational, pragmatic electorate, and these are trends that are not new but have exploded this year beyond anything we’ve ever seen before. First is disinformation,” Lichtman said. “Always had disinformation, but we’ve never had anything remotely on this scale, where billionaires — I don’t know how much Elon Musk is worth, I’m sure more than a hundred billion dollars — who control critical sources of information for the electorate. I mean, Elon Musk owns X, and I’ve seen reports that his disinformation that he’s put out, has been viewed by two billion viewers, vastly more influential than New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, CBS.”

The historian also alleged that Musk is not the only billionaire disseminating “disinformation.” He asserted that “the incredible explosion of disinformation” has led to Americans believing falsehoods about the state of the American economy, “mak[ing] it very difficult for a rational, pragmatic electorate to operate.”

“And finally, there’s racism, one of the deepest, most pervasive trends in American history,” he added. “And we have seen, just as Trump and his allies have brought misogyny and xenophobia to a new level, he’s also brought blatant racism to a new level … So we see then the explosion of disinformation and these three dark trends from American history, and that calls into question the whole premise behind the keys of rationality and pragmatism.”

Searches for how to leave the US surge as bitter Harris supporters hunt new homes after Trump's election win

Searches for how to leave the US have surged after Kamala Harris' defeat to Donald Trump, as bitter Democrats look for new homes aboard.  

Following Trump's victory earlier this week, Google Trends found that there has been a significant rise in searches related to 'leaving the country' and 'how to move'. 

Canada topped the list of countries being considered by devastated  Democrats desperate to leave. 

The United Kingdom, Japan, Australia and Italy rounded out the top five. 

Wonderful news, if true (though why other countries should be burdened with our rejects is a question best left to the deity), but a closer look at the numbers as provided by a NY Post article on the same poll shows that these people are all promise and hot air, and have no real intention of sparing us their presence:

More than 50% of voters for Vice President Kamala Harris say they want to move following Trump's victory in the 2024 presidential election, according to a survey commissioned by StorageUnits.com.

Storage Units surveyed 1,837 Harris voters on Nov. 6 to determine how many would like to relocate – and who actually plans to – and the top concerns of those who voted against Trump.

Of those surveyed, 44% would like to move, but probably won't, while 5% said they will definitely move and another 5% said they probably will. Those who would like to move, but probably won't, cited personal finances, family and community ties as reasons they will stay in place.

Of the 10% planning to move or seriously considering it, 90% are looking into moving to another country, with the top choices being Canada, the United Kingdom and Mexico. California, New York and Colorado were the top three choices for those considering moving to another state.

5% of 1,837 unhappy leftists is just 91.85 (and we would be doing a favor to those unlucky destination countries were we to ship our ex-patriots to them in fractions), and, even extrapolated a little, that’s insufficient to effect change.

But it’s a nice thought.

UPDATE:

Harris & Walls: Painters De-Face Building After Kamala's Humiliating Loss to Trump

Just days after Kamala's humiliating loss to President-Elect Donald Trump, many Democrats are trying to erase her from memory. That includes taking a paint roller to a mural on the side of a building in Atlanta, Georgia. Workers quickly made sure that residents would no longer be haunted by Kamala's enormous flat face and cackling grin. You could say this is an attempt to unburden them by what has been.

(The agenda seems to have had an addendum tacked on this week)

Secretary Pete Buttigieg joins us for a wide-ranging discussion that will focus on his tenure in the Biden/Harris Administration; important policy areas including environmental sustainability and infrastructure; and a look ahead at some of the major issues awaiting the next president.

David Strom, HotAir:

Kennedy School: We Can't Remain Nonpartisan (As if They Were)

Did you know that Harvard's Kennedy School of Government was "nonpartisan?"

I sure didn't. I knew that they pretended they were, and gave cover to liberals and some moderates who wanted to use a "nonpartisan" platform to present themselves as nonpartisan "experts" who could be trusted because they were beyond politics. 

But I never really imagined that The Kennedy School was anything but a liberal bastion and a credentialing organization for the transnationalists. 

With the election of Donald Trump to a second term, President of the Kennedy School Institute of Politics, Pratyush Mallick has come out of the political closet and declared himself to be anti-Republican. 

On Tuesday, America made a choice. But nearly 70 million Americans did not vote for election denialism, violence against their compatriots, or the elimination of basic human rights.

Today, Harvard’s Institute of Politics has a choice to make too. Nonpartisanship — a founding principle of the IOP — is no longer a tenable position in today’s political environment. Donald Trump’s imminent return to power underscores the importance of the IOP finally breaking from our long-standing commitment to it.

As this incoming administration charts its course, we must resist platforming anti-democratic voices in the guise of nonpartisanship. In fact, we must strive to defend principles of democracy, due process, and justice precisely to ensure that we can continue carrying out our age-old mission of nonpartisanship.

(Strom) “You have to love that last sentence I quoted. In order to remain nonpartisan, we must go on a Jihad against Republicans. 

“Yep. Sounds about right. The Institute of Politics, you see, is on a mission from God and has donned a suicide vest to blow up its hard-earned, if undeserved, reputation as an institution where Republicans and Democrats can talk and find solutions together. 

“I would note, for the record, that if finding solutions to problems were its real mission, it sucks at it. Look around folks. Harvard is the Mount Doom of Sauron's territory.”

When democracy itself is under attack, nonpartisanship is not the hill to die on. And it certainly should not be used as an excuse to platform election deniers and those who seek to dismantle our democracy. People and rhetoric that enable violent, authoritarian, and oppressive governance have no place at an institute for civil political disagreement like the IOP.

On election night, with his unfounded claims of “massive cheating” in Pennsylvania, Trump once again signaled his interest in the erosion of American democracy. In stark contrast, the very next day Vice President Kamala Harris conceded electoral defeat, demonstrating a commitment to the peaceful transition of power.

The essence of democracy lies not just in constituents casting votes but also in candidates respecting the results of these votes. The IOP cannot ignore the reality that, as it stands, one party’s leadership actively betrays these democratic processes. True bipartisanship — and healthy nonpartisanship — is only possible when both sides of the aisle share a basic commitment to our country’s norms. Trump and his supporters have demonstrated that such a commitment can no longer be assumed.

(Strom) “I have news for you. A judge agreed with Trump that Democrats were trying to deny voting rights to Republicans and that Democrats were trying to keep Republican election watchers out of voting locations. You may not call that cheating, but I do.”

“…. The IOP is a civic institution. We must do more than merely observe democracy; we must defend and champion it when it is under attack. We have to be active participants in its defense and set an example as stewards of civic responsibility. Trump’s Republican party has forced a reckoning: Institutions must decide if they will be complicit as democracy is threatened or take a stand against these threats.

(Strom) “Shortened version: the voters failed us, as they moved dramatically rightward and rejected the elite's vision of a technocratic America. 

“So the elites are throwing a tantrum.”

Abandoning her trademark upholstery look, Jill Biden dons MAGA Red and a happy grin after voting against her usurper, Kamalla Ding Dong

There has been a lot of discussion in recent weeks about whether or not Joe Biden sincerely wanted Kamala Harris to be elected president. We can't be sure that he's ever lucid enough to care, but we know that his wife is. 

It's highly likely that Doctor Mrs. Biden has been seething since July 21, 2024. She has never masked her desire to cling to power via her husband. Most of us believe that she would have gone full "Weekend at Bernie's" if left to her own devices. Jill B's choice of attire when she went to vote really gave Harris the finger without actually giving her the finger.
