  1. The polls in Texas have been closed for less than an hour, but with over a million votes cast, the Soros Democratic DA candidate in Harris County is slightly ahead. The only issue of law I have seen him address in his advertising is him hinting that he won’t enforce Texas abortion law. Who cares about home invasions, car jackings, assaults, and murders when a woman”s ability to get an abortion is at stake.

    From before the primary:

    He must have some really deep insight with all the feeds he’s watching. Maybe a direct pipeline into Ohio’s Election commission. Or maybe he’s just watching FOX NEWS!

  3. “I’m going to worry about it in the morning.”

    Totally with you. They’re calling states way to early. Will I be shocked to wake up tomorrow and find out Kami won. Not a bit. Our elections should not be like this. Unfortunately I think we’ve lost the FUSA. To many stupid people.

  4. Racist
    Special interest groups have destroyed our country. And that light will go on about the time they’re being shuffled into their new state sponsored living quarters. I mean, WTF? They can’t possibly be that stupid. Can they? And keep your hand off my uterus.
    Good night. I’ll face tomorrows horrors over a damn good cup of coffee.

  5. One of the biggest problems in grokking the numbers this year is that we can’t compare them to 2020, because of the fraud that year. We can’t even have confidence in tonight’s numbers. My lying eyes cannot believe that a woman who NEVER got a single primary win and who was not elected to her party’s ticket, has winning numbers anywhere.

  6. Ted Cruz (TX-R, US Senate) Is winning by a comfortable 7-8% margin at this point. I’m really liking the Senate numbers. So much so, I’m afraid to go to bed.

  7. AA, the demonization of Trump along with weaponized lawfare will be studied by civilizations for eons to come.
    It will reach mythical status.
    Nobody will believe it happened the way it did.

    I used to criticize Trump because I was trying to be fair and true to my beliefs.
    After seeing the unfair treatment he received I could no longer be engaged in that line of thinking…

  8. Postponing bed time. I was shocked to see RFK jr on the ballot in Cali today. Maybe I missed it, but I haven’t seen that addressed anywhere. How is that fair? Let’s face it, our electorate is brain dead.

  9. WI and NC — at the moment — a slim lead for Trump.

    Pray and breathe. Pray and breathe. Pray and breathe.

    I am mostly praying for that peace that passes all human understanding.

  10. The key, regardless of the outcome, is to keep the anti-government spirit alive. The problem is GOVERNMENT ITSELF, not who sits on the throne. It is TOO BIG, TOO POWERFUL, TOO INVASIVE, TOO DESTRUCTIVE, to ever be allowed to retain this much power and control over ALL of our lives. Even if Trump is elected and the GOP takes the House and Senate, their history is beyond horrible. They PROMISED to abolish the Dept. of Education in 1994 and then gave us NCLB in 2001/2002. EVERYONE rightly fears EVERY election because NOBODY has the right to rule over anyone for ANY reason, but if government is to exist, it must have as little power as possible. We must NEVER lose site of that.

  11. RFK Jr. was on the ballot in WA, too. Not surprising at all. There was plenty of time to change the ballot and the voter pamphlet. It was a calculated decision by the Dem-run state. Evil people.

    2
  12. Digging into counties, Dems have switched the playbook and are counting a lot of Dem counties first, they never do that, they always hold them out. Even saw it in Missouri and Kansas.

    Mail in/absentee ballots need to end, every state I’ve looked into, including my state of Oklahoma she won the mail in ballots. We had the dumbest state question ever on our ballot, basically raise our property taxes without any warning or reason to give money to cities. It overwhelmingly failed today and early voting, yet almost opposite in absentee votes. Thankfully they were a small percentage.

  13. I’m a disenfranchised voter in blue NY, upstate denizens can’t outvote NYC. I schlepped down to my local polling place anyway; all it does is keep me on the jury duty rolls, but I like to think it cancelled out the vote of one batshit crazy liberal. A small consolation.

  14. Just got into it with husband who is LIBTARD somehow I put up with ranting and raving THEN when he asked how PT will deport 20 mil people I said well local law enforcement knows where they are and border people–that’s why those groups endorsed Trump! THEN he got REAL QUIET–oh boo hoo his MSM has been lying to him!!! He’s googling now I think and I probably wont hear about that topic again LOL

    11
  15. Dan Bongino just said Wisconsin, with 95% reporting:

    Trump 56%
    Harris 43%

    I have another site up with the states, their electoral votes, and if they are Red or Blue, still has it undecided.

  16. “Baked in…PERIOD”
    Oh my God. Are those numbers currently baked into the totals? No. Which means her totals will rise above where they’re at once those totals are added. You need to put away your EZ Bake oven tonight and start using that clump of poop directly above your shoulders.

    2
  17. @Brad — Loco has his own brand of logical thinking. It isn’t the same as yours, nor the same as mine.
    Are you going to change the way you think? No.
    Am I going to change the way I think? No.
    Is Loco going to change the way he thinks? No.

    Getting tied up in something that will never change is not a prudent use of personal resources.

    Respond to the jokes, let the rest go. You’ll thank me later.

  18. “Cali carried Reagan back then sport. Look it up.”

    “Not going to argue tonight Brad but that was my point.”

    Lol. dude, you got to be hammered. Let me help you out here, after Reagan California elected GEORGE “DUKE” DEUKMEJIAN as Gov. A Republican. After that they elected Gov Pete Wilson. A great Gov. And then we really screwed up and elected that pussy Arnold. After that we went hard left.

    1
  19. “Let it go Brad.
    You are making no sense to anyone.”

    “Baked in totals?” I baked some potatoes tonight. 425 for an hour covered with olive oil. Pretty tasty. To funny. I’m actually wouldn’t be surprised if I don’t make sense to anyone here.

  20. I’m so thrilled and grateful to see so many good ol’ IOTW friends here tonight! It’s like we’re getting the band back together. And how could it be a election night open thread without BB and Loco going at it with hammer and tongs?! I ask you.

    (BTW, I totally get what Loco is saying about CA. And I totally get what BB is saying about CA. Saints alive, we’ve slipped into an alternate universe!)

    6
  21. Brad – I don’t know what you mean by that, but it doesn’t sound very good, so let’s just leave it there. I don’t want to argue with anyone here over politics.

    All the best to you.

  22. “(BTW, I totally get what Loco is saying about CA. And I totally get what BB is saying about CA. Saints alive, we’ve slipped into an alternate universe!)”

    Oh my God. How many fingers a toes do you have? Start using them pre CALI electorates and post CALI electorates. You can’t possibly be that stupid can you. I’m sorry I’m just done putting up with stupidity. Did Kami’s electorate total jump by 54? Not a trick question. Yes or no. I’ll answer for you. YES. So exactly what point did LOCO make that you agree with Einstein? IOTW readers need to do much better than this weak ass bull shit.

  23. What the heck is going on with Arizona 🤔

    It’s the damn McCain machine…here They are saying it could be 2 weeks before we have results 😡

    Other than that it’s lookin’ good 😉 for Trump

    Love that Justice won and his dog too 😘

    God Bless America 🙏
    MAGA 2024 🇺🇸

  24. Ok, it’s simple enough: There was never any doubt that CA’s EC votes are in Harris’s column. CA was always going to be in Harris’s column in ’24. It’s not a swing state. It’s not even a “leaning” or “trending” state. In electoral terms, CA is a solidly, reliably blue state. CA’s EC votes were calculated into, i.e. “baked into”, Harris’s projected EC total. So when the election results are completely tallied, no one will be surprised that CA’s EC votes went to Harris. CA’s EC votes are so utterly reliable for Harris, that no one is even mentioning or going to mention them. That is how baked in they are.

    I hope this is helpful.

  25. TGP is reporting that boxes of ballots are being brought into the Detroit counting house at 11p — from cars with CA license plates.

    Praying that enough evidence is gathered and Trump lawyers are there.

  26. Watching Crowder and they are showing moving trucks driving into a voting place of some sort in Pennsylvania.

    They are going to try and steal PA 😡

    Truly despise these scumbags 🤮

  27. Georgia was just called for Trump. He’s now at 246. So 24 needed. Arizona with 50% in, Trump is at 50%, Wisconsin with 83% in, Trump’s at 51.3%, Michigan with 57% in, he’s at 52.3%, Pennsylvania with 88%, he’s at 50.8%.

    He’ll win Alaska, so he needs 21. Giving the hag the states leaning blue, she would still need 44, so she would have to win 3 of the 4 states leaning red.

    2
  28. From the Vigilant Fox—-
    This is absolutely remarkable!
    Donald Trump is currently winning the popular vote by 5 MILLION votes!
    Meanwhile, it appears Trump will win Pennsylvania, Michigan, AND Wisconsin.
    Polymarket currently has Trump’s odds of winning the election at a jaw-dropping 94%. Kamala is basically toast.
    I can’t believe things turned out this well tonight.

  29. WA state has gone full stupid.
    I can’t even process how bad the election has gone here. Good grief. A state (western WA) full of “vote blue no matter who.”

    Eastern WA needs to join the New Idaho movement.

    7
  30. I can hardly wait for Kamala’s losers speech….Her loss will be hard for her to swallow…LOL…..and then I want to hear from Biden splainin how HE could have won…..makes you want to spank someone on there ass…..HA HA HA HA…

    5
  31. Illustr*r — How about a chat tomorrow? I’ll tell you just how eleventy-stupid King Co. is! Funniest thing happened to me yesterday on a client call, involving a Kamala/Harris tee shirt.

    Oh, and I’ll be making a quick visit soon to the Seattle Animal Shelter where there’s a fella who (literally) marched hither and thither in his Harris/Walz camo ball cap, shouting commands at his fellow employees.

    Yeah, crazy-stupid off the meter.

  32. From TPG: Harris campaign memo telling her people to go home and get some sleep…won’t know until votes are counted at 3a.

    Say it isn’t so. Someone please tell me it isn’t so.

    ????

    2
  33. Went to bed at 1am, couldn’t sleep, so I got up to check the stats … Trump won with 280 Electoral Votes … so far!

    I feel so elated, but we need to keep praying for his safety. They WILL try to kill him again, this time with professionals.

    11
  34. Thank you, Loco!!

    This is an absolute miracle! Thank God Almighty for his mercy to an astonishingly undeserving bunch of ingrates!

    Geoff C., we’re gonna need more champagne!!

  35. My son work security 3rd shift at Duke University.
    He just texted and said there have been like 5 fire trucks rolling in toward the stadium! Sounds ;like the snowflakes are melting down already…

    14
  36. Thank you God for Donald Trump’s election again as our 47th President. My prayer the last few days was that he’d be elected again and I’m extremely thankful for that. My daughter woke me up at 11 PM PST to let me know that Trump won. Lord, thank you for your faithfulness to President Trump/JD Vance and to the American people for electing Trump as President again. Biden/Harris’s 4-year nightmare is over. HALLELUJAH!

    18
  37. 5:39 AM EST. The AP has finally declared WI for President Trump giving him 277 Electoral Votes and making it official that he won.Trump also has beaten Harris in the Popular Vote.

  38. So damn happy. Now the Republicans need to act like winners and govern like winners. This could be a generational shift if we don’t fuck it up. Believe me I have no faith in the Republicans. We start by putting in a fighter for the Senate Majority leader!!!
    Free the January 6th Prisoners immediately.

  39. That phony assed Trey Gowdy suggesting that Trump pardon Hunter Biden as an “act of good faith and conciliation” made me want to vomit. Fuck the goddamn democrats… If they broke laws, then prosecute them. They’ve been fully dedicated to jailing people for simply having the wrong politics for years now. Fuck them. Fuck weak ass GOP assholes like Trey Gowdy.

    8
  40. @TheMule — 100% agreed. Not only should President Trump NOT pardon Hunter, he should urge whoever his AG is to indict The Big Guy, Joey himself, for taking bribes when he was VP (thus avoiding the executive immunity defense).

    Too bad Joey will certainly be found incompetent to stand trial. Trial here on Earth, that is.

  41. I LOVED reading all the comments on this board last night and into todays victory!

    Ghost (Joe) was with me the whole time last night, I know it!!

    God is good, all the time. All the time, God is good.

    Say your prayers everyday!

    God Bless us all!

  42. Piggybacking off of The Mule and Uncle Al’s comments, there is a larger than-healthy strain within the Republican Party that wants comity, conciliation, and peace with the Enemy, in the vernacular of our times, “Fuck That Shit”. These are the same people that consider us garbage, want us separated from our guns and our civil liberties, and would prefer a round-up and incarceration in re-education camps until we see the error of our ways. You can’t reason with those that hate you.

    Trump told us last night that he will fight for all the people, and I believe him, but the leadership within the DNC deserves all the wrath and acrimony that we can muster, and pursuing criminal solutions, if warranted, should be on the table.

  43. Mary Hatch — Hello, friend! I was so happy to see your comment! Yes, God is good all the time. All the time God is good. Now, dear Abba, have your children do right in your sight. Amen.

  44. So….. They just cannot admit it. The media is showing Mr. Trump “leading” is the last contested states where there is no statistical way with the remaining votes to count in those states that Ms. Harris could could overcome the point spread to gain those electoral votes. Mr Trump will finish wit over 300 electoral votes as well as crushing the popular vote.

    2
  45. Thought this might be appropriate.
    The most terrifying force of death comes from the hands of “Men who wanted to be left Alone”. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love.

    They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over.

    The moment the “Men who wanted to be left Alone” are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these “Men who wanted to be left Alone” will fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives.

    They fight with raw hate and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at these peoples’ doors, and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy… but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the “Men who wanted to be left Alone”.

    7
  46. – suggesting that Trump pardon Hunter Biden as an “act of good faith and conciliation” is insane! That damn asshole (who is the road-apple that didn’t fall too far from the demented horse’s ass known as the grinning imbecile) committed so many crimes that giving him a pass begs the question: Well then pray tell, who should be prosecuted ever?!?!?!?!

    7
  47. Now that we’ve enjoyed a few cocktails of Liberal Tears, it’s time to get serious.
    In 2012 the people gave the Republicans the majority of the House and they did nothing.
    In 2014 the people gave Republicans the majority in the Senate and they did nothing.
    In 2016 the people gave the White House to Trump and good things happened, but four years was not enough to correct that stinking hallmark of Arrogant Feculence known as the Øbamboozler and his eight year reign of “Fundamental Transformation” to Communism in the government.
    Now today the people overwhelmingly voted Trump back into office along with a majority in the Senate and quite possibly the House. This time they had better make good and GD sure they take full advantage of the power that the people have handed them by taking out the trash and getting the United States of America back upright and running at full steam again! We can’t afford to waste opportunities like this… and it’s going to require an ongoing effort, which means we should start thinking about making sure that JD Vance has a clean shot of keeping the White House in 2028!

  48. Hi AA,

    Thank you so much for your message. I try and stay away from politics (sorry everyone LOL) now, but how could I not be up front for yesterdays glorious victory. My youngest son voted for the first time and my oldest his first presidential election. God was in control the whole time!

    I’m never too far, Abagail. IOTW is in my blood forever!

    God Bless you all!

  49. Mr Pinko – Same here – Well, I DVR’D the View but haven’t seen it yet .Will try to watch pretty boy David Muir later . Am intending to watch News Max tonight because I like their lineup . It’s good to see so many men who aren’t lefties .

  50. Mr. P — You’ve got a stronger stomach than I! Do you think Whoopi will ever shed her dreads — sorta like the same way an elk sheds their antlers? Just “Pop!” and they’re all laying around on the desk and floor, like?

    5
  51. Loco, this is better than Christmas; “My Boy” winning, all-time highs in the stock market, and the most disgusting humans on the planet suffering huge meltdowns.

    Lake winning would have made it perfect. Trump needs to find a spot for her somewhere, Arizona is turning out to be the most retarded state in the country.

    5
  52. Watching two “Bitter Bitches’ Hochul and James stating they will basically fight anything President Trump tries to accomplish. Hochul also basically invited riots by stating that she’ll recognize freedom of speech in regards to protests.

    3
  53. warning shots fired. letticia james has come out with the lawfare. oberman is spouting russian interference, bonta has begun lawsuits. do not think its over. the lawfare begins. if the camel comes out with the same rhetoric tonight, the steal may not be over.

  54. DC Draino makes a great observation:

    Think about this

    If Trump won in 2020, he would’ve had a Democrat House and Senate

    More impeachments, no Senate confirmations, no bills passed, and possibly the end of the MAGA movement as an effective political force

    But now?

    He has the House, Senate, Supreme Court, a popular vote mandate, and an entire country that wants to clean up our elections, close our borders, deport illegals, and hold corrupt politicians accountable

    Sometimes I think it had to happen this way

    14
  55. Wasn’t Trump told he had no standing because he challenged things after the election last time? That’s why he made challenges beforehand this time. Why should the Left be allowed to make challenges afterwards now? Sure, they are Democrats and rules don’t apply to them, but now there is case law.

    Yes, I am worried about Trump’s safety. However, if they do take Trump out, they have Vance. If they take out both of them, they won’t know what hit them. There is room for optimism on that front.

    3
  56. It’s a great day in America, thanks to God’s mercy and grace. Yes, Praise Him!
    President Trump’s overwhelming win would not be possible without God’s intervention, because the cheating was probably as vigous as it was in 2020. The enemies of righteousness are never complacent or idle.
    The world has been off balance, in crisis since the Deep State installed Biden and Harris.

    Now, there’s an international sigh of relief. Even Putin, missed President Trump. He had no competitor he could respect. However, China, Iran, every terrorist organization is going to catch Hell. Israel again has an reliable, loyal partnership with US.

    KamalMao’s fake concession speech will be filled with baseless reprimand and unity babel. Unity is something as a Marxist, she doesn’t actually believe in. The cackling psycho won’t give up easily, but God is in control.

    BTW, The left is taking this defeat really hard. LOL!!! The witches of “The View” are all dressed in black for today’s broadcast and they’re in mourning.
    Send in the clowns. Leftist tears are so sweet. Four years of their self-imposed torment just enhances President Trump’s victory.

  57. I may have to leave my husband because his TDS gets worse all the time. I have told him. He says he’s going to confront some nice old folks he knows and do the same to them as he knows they like Trump and he’s not going to ? kowtow or something is how he put it–to them anymore. Same with me. I hardly every talked about him because I know how he and his sister are (she even worse) He’s trying to brainwash me the way he was brainwashed by the MSM! I will see how long I can last it may not be too long It is not physical and I do not argue back, but it’s wearing on me. I’m 69 y.o.! I did not have a Trump sign and neither did any of our neighbors. I guess they know how people are 🙁 I told him I care about him and please do not make a big fuss with our older friends they are big shots at the local Am. Legion and he doesn’t need this getting around our small town! He just seems crazy!!!!

    4
  58. @Dee, you have my sincerest sympathies.

    It is just unimaginable to me to be yoked, in your case unequally, with someone who is not aligned with my political values. TDS sufferers have a tell; they are not rational and subjugate reason for emotion. It is usually the wife that suffers this affliction with the husband at his wit’s end.

    If he is this bad now, it will only get worse come January. If you have kids, maybe they can reason with him, or a religious leader in your community. But your sanity is paramount, so weigh all decisions with that in mind. Good luck.
