Re: The Biggest Comeback in Presidential History — Thank God!

“Here in LA, amid all the leftist smog, our pocket of conservatives can always depend on The Patriot Post to provide clear and concise analysis. And yes, the fact that Trump and Vance overcame the enormous obstacles of bulk-mail balloting, the relentless mainstream media bias, and the systemic suppression of freedom of speech made this truly a historic comeback. Don’t give up on California; after decades of leftist drift, the tide has started to turn.” —California

“Millions of Democrats refused to wash the Biden/Harris blood from their hands. Never, never, never let them forget that their votes cost tens of thousands of lives in Ukraine and Afghanistan. Never let them forget their blood-stained hands.” —Oregon

“I am proud to live in a state where the ratio of votes for Trump vs. Harris was 2-1. I’m equally proud that my state is also home to The Patriot Post. I just renewed my support!” —Tennessee

“We got a brief reprieve, but the leftists are regrouping full-bore. Don’t just hold the line; keep the counteroffensive rolling strong!” —New York

Re: Donald Trump’s Win for the Ages

“If you had told me even 10 years ago that Donald Trump winning the 2024 presidential election was going to be the answer to my fervent prayers, I would have laughed in your face. But after enduring the soulless, perverted, socialist clown show of the last four years, on top of knowing how effective his policies were in his first administration, there’s no doubt Trump is the man for the job. Between their TDS and venomous hatred for everyone who disagrees with them, the Dems will never understand why, but the rest of us believe that God spared Trump’s life twice for a reason, and that was proven on November 5.” —Pennsylvania

Re: The Actual Morning After

“The 2024 presidential election is over, and the average American citizen knows now how vile and immoral the DNC has become. It was quite willing to punish the people of the United States with not only two totally inept executive candidates but also a horde of vile, if not evil, lawmakers and bureaucrats. Now, they have been exposed as to just how morally bankrupt and desperate they were to win. And with the exposure of its lavish wasting of contributions on Hollywood millionaires, it is truly eye-opening. The fearsome aspect of all this is that if Harris had won, We, the People, would never have learned just how utterly corrupt they have become.” —North Carolina

“Even the most partisan politician should be able to tell when their party is way off base. At this juncture in our history, it should be apparent to the Democrats who have a sincere will to serve the public that they were misled by leadership. Willing to be loyal and have someone else do the heavy thinking has resulted in a major defeat. If you still want to serve, you may want to listen to the winners. The winners should have already invited you to participate in the future. You don’t serve the party. You are all elected to serve the public. Also, stop spending money foolishly.” —Washington

Re: Democrats Form Circular Firing Squad

“What the Democrats refuse to accept is that the majority of Americans don’t like their policies or what they stand for. I was beyond thrilled that Trump won in such a convincing fashion. I don’t think it really mattered who the Democrats ran; they would have been beaten. All my life I have believed in God, family, and country. That is what the Republicans believe in also. The Democrats don’t.” —Illinois

“Fortunately, this is the United States of America, where your ability to vote your conscience is assured. No one is forced to vote for the person being shoved into their only choice window. You can always vote for the other party. It is often the best choice. Your party of choice works for you, not the other way around.” —Washington

“Most commonly, those who suffer from dementia lose short-term skills, such as short-term memory, first, while old memories and habits persist. An angry Joe Biden wearing a MAGA hat and holding the ‘garbage’ Zoom call, both preempting Harris speeches, suggest the long-established pit bull instincts of a career politician are still intact. I’ll wager a nickel that Joe and Jill voted for Trump just out of spite.” —New Hampshire

Re: Election Day, Not Election Days

“So, California will accept a mail-in ballot for up to a week after election day as long as it is postmarked by election day. Well, my state, Illinois, passed a law this year allowing mail-in votes to be counted for up to 20 days after election day. Talk about a small chance for chicanery. But don’t worry — that would never happen, RIGHT?” —Illinois

Re: A Last Word on the Iowa Polling Scandal

“Herding voters by the use of fake polls is a popular political sport. It’s like the truth has little value to the media if it does not support their personal view. Allowing the actual liars the benefit of belonging to a protected media organization serves to undermine the value of truth.” —Washington

Re: Swing States Shrink in Number

“The impact of the 2030 Census reapportionment will be interesting. According to the American Redistricting Project, California, New York, Illinois, Oregon, Minnesota, and Rhode Island are expected to lose a combined 12 seats. Texas, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Arizona, Utah, and Idaho are expected to gain a combined 13 seats, offset by a loss of one seat in Pennsylvania. Under that scenario, Trump’s 312 electoral votes would become 324. The GOP wouldn’t even need the blue wall.” —California

Re: FEMA Avoided Trump Homes in Tennessee and North Carolina

“And to think Kamala Harris had the gall to say that if Trump were elected, he would weaponize the federal government against his political enemies when, as The Patriot Post has made clear in great detail, it is the Biden/Harris administration that has perfected that weaponization all along.” —Colorado

All FEMA workers, and especially the director, need to be fired. Alexander is right when he says that the real question is how deep is this political bias that a supervisor thought this was okay.” —Minnesota

“It is very helpful that Alexander has documented this corruption in Tennessee and North Carolina. That opens this up to a much broader issue than one supervisor in Florida.” —Tennessee

Re: Profiles of Valor: With Gratitude for the Patriot Veterans Among Us

“Thank you, fellow Patriots, for always honoring our veterans and active-duty military men and women. While most publications post a meme or some thin recognition text, The Patriot Post always provides a substantive tribute, and the most recent, including the powerful quotes from Gen. MacArthur, was no exception! As a Naval fighter pilot with combat missions in two theaters over the last 20 years, we appreciate your bold voice in defense of Liberty.” —Virginia
