Far too many variables to make any kind of determination at this point. I would just mention the one which stands out the most for me.
They tried to kill him. Twice. Given the likelihood of "they" being what we call the "deep state'" which is code for AngloZionists, or if you prefer, Atlanticists, he has two choices in front of him. Follow their playbook in order to survive, which involves a continuation of US policy towards Israel, or stab them in the back, just as they tried to do to him. Going by his reaction to the first attempt, I'd say there's a good possibility he'd be out for revenge. There's something about a near-brush with death that changes one's outlook. I know, I've been there myself.
I think chapter 74 of the Tao Te Ching captures the feeling.
Unnatural Authority
When people do not fear death,
How can they be threatened with death?
Suppose people fear death and still do not conform,
Who would dare seize them and put them to death?
There is always the Master Executioner who kills.
To substitute for the Master Executioner in killing
Is like substituting for the Master Carpenter who carves.
Whoever substitutes for the Master Carpenter in carving,
Rarely escapes injury to his hands.
As for the deep state itself, are we seeing a break between the ideologues and the realists over the course of coming events? A division between those who would double down on a losing hand, and those who want to cut their losses in order to retain at least some part of their hegemony? We'll see how that plays out shortly I expect. I think everyone realizes that Ukraine is a lost cause, and that the real existential crisis is Israel, who have substituted themselves for the Master Carpenter for far too long. They've overreached to the point of no return, so how does that play out and what will the US response be when the possibility of Israel's demise become as certain as the loss of Ukraine?
And then Starmer has the balls to send a congratulatory letter like none of it ever happened, time to take George Washington’s “avoid foreign entanglements and permanent alliances” warning to heart. Just how many times do we let the UK try to screw us over.
As an outsider looking in with only a cursory understanding it looked like the election was thrown or the Israeli lobby wanted Trump.
The Biden dementia debacle (especially the timing) and the endorsement of Harris without a ‘blitz’ primary (which she would have certainly lost) just doesn’t sit right.
There are a lot of folks noticing the D vote delta (15-20m) between 2020 and 2024, but for me, something just doesn't seem to add up. I mean, can we figure out the breakdown by state and/or county to see where the votes evaporated? But the big question I have is why? Why didn't they cheat like that again? It can't be as simple as they were afraid they would get caught? When I decided to call it a night, I had seen multiple claims of box trucks showing up late in Philly and Milwaukee. I figured, here we go again and expected to wake up to a see a giddy Que-Mala winning, but the steal didn't happen or at least on the level it needed to be. Was it the poll watchers or some of Jay Valentine work on the bogus mail in ballot detection?
Changing the gop party leadership was huge, where lawyers were primed this election to stop egregious fraud.
The gop party and Trump learned from the 2020 and 2022 and developed immunity to the most egregious types of fraud.
The level of 2020 fraud was unexpected and achieved surprise along with Covid. And the entire legal debacle was a huge learning experience. And then the 2022 Az debacle.
My guess was Trump won 2020 even with the expected level of fraud. Then emergency measures were required to produce the extra votes Biden needed, starting with the 3 simultaneous water leaks to stop the clock.
"Which of you wishing to construct a tower does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if there is enough for its completion? Otherwise, after laying the foundation and finding himself unable to finish the work the onlookers should laugh at him and say, ‘This one began to build but did not have the resources to finish.’
Or what king marching into battle would not first sit down and decide whether with ten thousand troops he can successfully oppose another king advancing upon him with twenty thousand troops? But if not, while he is still far away, he will send a delegation to ask for peace terms."
Materiel and men. We can print money to buy materiel, but we cannot print men. Can we print enough money to buy enough materiel to substitute for men in our postmodern wars to subjugate peoples.
‘ Many books will be written, pundits’ reputations made and unmade, and academic careers launched …’ etc etc ——- why? This woman was even more a post-turtle than obama, even emptier, so why would anyone be interested in writing, let alone studying, let alone reading about her? This world is crazy.
Because she is a minority and of mixed race. Many pundits will speak of the US culture not being kind of females. More about white men coming and they’ll tag Hispanic men too.
I believe if they could've rigged it this time, they would've. There was too much anger and some woke up to it. You can't con consumers over how much the grocery bills have gone up. Ukraine and Israel were drags on the Dems. The lawfare against DJT hurt them. The assassination attempt, transgender issues, crime, lawlessness, homelessness, etc. Musk getting control of Twitter helped. RFK, Shanahan, Ackman, Megan Kelly, Tucker, etc.
We all know, right and left, that the country declined over the Biden years. How many eyes were opened after seeing Biden's decline at the debate, especially when the media said he was sharp? COVID lockdowns. Harris' lack of ability to answer a question. The haves telling the peons what to think.
Yes, it does seem, for the reasons you mention, that the writing was on the wall for KH as it had been for her boss. A losing pair. Also not helping, and another sign of panic, were the scoldings black American men and women endured from BO and MO. Big time backfire! Even Oprah in all her sequined finery and French false nails bombed. I think America simply repudiated everything KH was hawking (playing on fear while searching for her own political identity) and was drawn to Trump as an undeniably fearless, bold and inspiring fighter - even with his faults. Dems will have a lot of soul searching to do now - if they have any soul left. Meantime, I wish the fix-it man and his family well, and our country to recover.
I think it’s simpler than all these machinations. Harris was a terrible candidate foisted on the American population at the last minute. Trump ran a good campaign and his voters performed a “jury nullification” of the impeachments and convictions and other mischief.
The deep state bureaucracy still doesn’t want Trump and is even now busy cleaning out their desk drawers and the shredders are smoking. Special software to completely delete emails and files is being employed. The tampon dispensers in the male bathrooms can stay as a gentle reminder that at some point the deviants will be back in charge.
The real elephant in the room is why they would ever run the worlds worst candidate when they had a plethora of far more qualified options? No one is asking nor even mentioning it. Even Stevie Wonder could “see” Biden was unfit to run let alone serve way back in 2018. Talk about a ruse. Two more questions, how is it humanly possible Hillary Clinton would ever allow another female to surpass her and become President? That woman harbors more anger than an atomic bomb. Therefore does this finally solidify the end to the Clintons? Judging by Bills performance in Michigan one has to question his mental competency OR was the all about deliberately sabotaging Harris, but again why run her of all people? Why didn’t they choose Bobby instead? He clearly could've and would’ve beaten Trump leading me to personally believe they deliberately wanted Trump knowing he’s the gift that keeps giving not only to all but most imperatively Israel. Bobby has also since proven how weak he is and that he can in fact be bought and bullied. Trump never drained the swamp in fact he made it even deeper. Trump will always follow the money. He left DC with over a billion dollars whereas Obama left with only $680 million. All of this was your typical dog and pony show.
Kennedy has been outcast from the Dem party due to his Covid posture. Harris was the antithesis of Trump. Female minority with large progressive views who was unarticulate enough to share her centrist vision clearly. Leaving voters with emptiness.
Good take on a great result for sanity. I still find it hard to fathom that so many voted for Harris. At my local shop in the remote west of Ireland, the shopkeeper asked the man in front of me what he thought of the US election. 'Tis great, at least Trump doesn't pretend that a boy can become a girl, not like your one Harris.' He replied.

Even Kamala’s 65 million I find suspicious. I wonder how much it would be without cheating.

Curious as to anyone one else's theory???

This morning's Gospel mentions multipolarity.
The cost of discipleship, Luke 14,
"Which of you wishing to construct a tower does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if there is enough for its completion? Otherwise, after laying the foundation and finding himself unable to finish the work the onlookers should laugh at him and say, ‘This one began to build but did not have the resources to finish.’

RFK Jr flipping his 10 percent to Trump. How about that?
It’s not Keith Starmer, it’s Khmer Starmer.
Carer Starmer; no you may not visit granny during lockdowns.
