WHAT?????? He WON!? 🙂
It’s midnight L.A. time….I am stunned, happy Hillary will not be president for so many reasons, and eager to feel optimistic and relieved for America.

The chief danger that confronts the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost,
Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration,
politics without God, heaven without hell.
William Booth
“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.”
― William Saroyan
The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery. -- Winston Churchill
Ignorance is not an opinion, liberals
I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen; not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. C. S. Lewis
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14
THERE WILL BE NO THREATS OF ANY KIND AT THIS BLOG, TO POLITICIANS OR OTHER COMMENTERS. thank you.
Woke up around 0230 to some kinda “pop”ping sound. Took me a while, but finally realized it was liberals’ heads exploding. I’d LOVE to have been in the room when HRC got that final tally.
Was kinda ‘fraid to turn on the TV for fear of having to listen to that smug harpy licking her lips and rubbing her hands at the prospect of all that power and wealth.
But when I went to my local TV channel for a weather report, there were two guys I’ve never seen before talking about “What’s next for us?” with a huge banner showing that 218 in blue and 276 in red.
Wholly Moley! I mean . . . Knock * ME * over * with * a * feather.
So, for posterity’s sake, here’s the campaign capsule in rhyme and meter (with apologies to Casey):
The campaign wasn’t pleasant for the GOP this year;
Too many people running in a murky atmosphere.
Hispanic votes were crucial but The Donald slandered them,
While African-Americans saw white men to condemn.
The DNC had its debates set up for Hillary
On nights when no one would be tuning in on their TV.
O’Malley didn’t stand a chance and Bernie was a joke,
Except with communists and other unproductive folk.
The left-wing propaganda arm was practiced and adept,
The talking heads all ready with their mantras smooth and prepped,
To give the weary nation one more presidential “first”
And give Slick’s wife the thing for which she had an unquenched thirst.
But still her coronation as the leftist nominee
Was no assurance that she’d win the vote for PotUSy.
So on the trail she went all full of balderdash and lies
And confidence that she could pull the wool over our eyes.
The polls all gave her quite an edge on all the right-wing boys
Like Huckabee and Paul and Carson, Cruz with all his noise
And Rubio the turnabouts from their Tea Party days,
And Trump who speaks in bombast couched in overcooked clichés.
On terror she just echoes what the Kenyan fraud has said,
Like al Qaeda’s on the run and that bin Laden guy is dead.
She likes to tout her record in the Senate and SecState,
But at the bottom line it really isn’t all that great.
And being in the White House for eight years is not so hot;
The cook has been there longer but he hasn’t picked up squat.
Her stance on Islam tells us that she doesn’t know the score;
She calls it peaceful even though it’s beating us at war.
However, she has just what’s so politically correct,
That only Fiorina shares to help us all select
Who’ll fix our tax woes and our debt, our existential doom,
Those things that no man ever has, old breasts and one dry womb.
So glibly she steps up to grab the mike and give her spiel,
And take the softball questions from the press who come to kneel.
Then when some cub reporter slips his leash and throws a curve,
She simply spears it with her fork like some fat-free hors-d’oeuvre.
“What difference does it make!” she’ll bark if he says, “Benghazi.”
And, “Islam’s not a danger or a major enemy.
The greatest threat is climate change, and old Republicans
With pickup trucks and Bibles and too many extra guns.”
The smile is gone from Cankle’s face, her teeth are clenched in lust
For power in her final speech that asks us all to trust,
But voters hold the power to elect or to deny
And this time hopes were shattered by the depth of Cankles’ lie.
Oh, somewhere in this bankrupt land the lights are shining bright,
And “Happy Days Are Here Again” has played the entire night.
Conservatives are singing, and no Democrats are out,
For there is no joy in Swampville – mighty Cankles has struck out.

I am a tad bit tearful since last night…good tears, unexpected tears….
Last night, a girlfriend was here to watch with me and we were resigned, when she arrived at about 5pm, to keeping eachother’s moods up while we lost…state by state. When the oddity started happening, the COMPLETELY unexpected states started calling Trump, it was a lot of high-fiving and “WHATs!?” We texted friends, got phone calls.
I was in a text flurry with my cousin Karl in Connecticut…and my friend H here in LA (HUGE Trump fan), who was texting both me and her best friend who was sitting with the Trump family at their Hilton suite (They were there all the time, the media didn’t know and kept suggesting they were arriving from elsewhere) because this woman’s husband works very closely with Pence. THAT was kind of cool, getting texts like “extreme emotion here with Trump family” and “He’s rewriting his speech now…” and insider stuff like that. WHAT FUN!
Then I thought you’d enjoy this email I got from my stepson in Munich this morning:
Hi Z
Trump made it and the German media and politicians go beserk, they still continue the anti-Trump propaganda on ALLLLL channels. It’s so cool to see that all their wishes, hopes, ideologies and propaganda just don’t match the real reality…..
And I also hope that Trump has the time to give the German politicians a hard time who openly agitated against him. Since he doesn’t like Merkel’s politics at all, it will be tough for her, too, which is good.
Big hugs

Ya, the European media now thinks Americans are officially NUTS, their heads are spinning, and WHO CARES? 🙂
HILLARY WILL SPEAK SOON. Do you know I feel sorry for her? Believe it or not, I do. Imagine all these years of wanting that job, working as hard as she did as Senator to a foothold of her own in the party, to work THIS HARD at her age, stumping every single day…expecting to win. After ALL, BEyonce campaigned for her…what COULD have happened??? (smile) Ya, I’m very, very eager to hear the speech which is coming in about ten minutes if she’s on the rumored schedule… Not a happy day for her.

SOmething I want to mention seems important to me. A LOT of our good Christian friends at the blogs, and otherwise, have said “God is in control!” meaning “We’re going to WIN! He’s GOT THIS!” When he finally won, a friend texted “I told you God is in control….”
No. The story is that God’s being in control almost never means things will go our way. God’s being in control means He is IN CONTROL and you might want to start praying NOW that HIS will and YOURS will jive, which they rarely do!! 🙂 If Trump lost last night, who among you wouldn’t say “God is still in control”.
You know you would. God, throughout the Bible, uses REALLY flawed people….people who didn’t love Him, people who’d led awful lives, but they have a talent He needs, or a heart only He could see and he played (and still does, obviously :-)) on that to get His will done, or something completely unexpected….
Agreed?

2. Borders. People are sick of being overrun and bankrupted by illegal immigrants (public education system groaning under the load).

The trade deficit also played in although most anti-Hillary voters didn’t really understand how damaging the trade deficit is and has been.
