Mark Penn, who served as an adviser to the Clintons from 1995 to 2008 and now runs the Harris Poll, agreed that the “politics of demonization” from Democrats toward President-elect Trump on the campaign trail did not work.
“I think that they went way over the top here — Hitler, fascist, picking up on these things — and I think the voters just tune those out eventually because they’re way over the top,” Penn said when asked about Democratic strategy on Fox News.
Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign reportedly gave large amounts of money to organizations run by media figures in the weeks before sitting down for interviews with them.
FEC filings , first reported by the Washington Free Beacon , show the Harris campaign gave two $250,000 donations to Rev. Al Sharpton’s nonprofit organization in September and October.
Harris sat down for a friendly interview with the MSNBC host on October 20, in which he asked her what she wanted her legacy to be, 50 years from now.
The campaign also made two $500,000 payments to Oprah Winfrey’s Harpo Productions on Oct. 15, a month after Winfrey’s town hall with Harris and weeks before the pair appeared at a Harris Philadelphia rally, FEC filings show.
Trump, 78, campaigned on a sweeping agenda that Democrats will be largely powerless to stop unless joined by a handful of Republican defectors in Congress.
Republicans will have a 53-47 edge in the Senate, and the tie-breaking vote of Vice President-elect JD Vance in the event of a 50-50 stalemate on any legislative proposal. Republicans also have secured at least 218 seats in the 435-member House,
During his bid to win a second nonconsecutive four-year term, Trump called for the massive deportation of millions of undocumented migrants living in the United States to their home countries, an extension and expansion of 2017 tax cuts that are set to expire at the end of 2025, further deregulation of businesses, a curb on climate controls, and prosecution of people he calls “the enemy within.”
Instead, Biden's presidency will be remembered, to the extent it is at all, as a bump in the road of the Trump Era.
Biden could face an even worse fate, because by the time Trump leaves office in 2029, he will have been the dominant focal point of American political life for over 12 years. Even when Trump wasn't in office, he monopolized our attention.
Ironically, by losing the election in 2020, and being forced to serve nonconsecutive terms, the Trump Era has an extended shelf life beyond even the most influential two-term presidents. In comparison, Biden will be all but forgotten.....
Fox News Channel averaged 1.9 million total viewers during the week of November 11, finishing as the only cable option to crack the one-million viewer benchmark. ESPN finished second with 837,000 total viewers and Hallmark Channel finished third with 503,000.

Anti-Aging Food:
*Olive oil (as well as walnut and canola oil) are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, minerals, vitamins E and A and powerful antioxidants. The latter protect our cells, help control weight.
In addition to calcium and iron, broccoli contains sulforaphane, an antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals in our body. The vitamin C contained in broccoli also helps our skin to produce collagen, a protein that keeps the skin firm and promotes hair growth.
*Potassium is found in large quantities in green leafy vegetables, and that has a rejuvenating effect on our cells and can even improve our brain power when consumed regularly. Get munching, Einstein!
*Tomatoes contain many carotenoids, which help our skin to protect itself from sun and UV rays. They are also rich in lypocin, which binds free radicals and protects our cells from premature aging. So this summer, eat as many as you can!
Even out of season, nothing stands in the way of your lypocin boost. Naturally processed tomatoes, for example in the form of juice or strained tomatoes, have an even higher content of lypocins.
Arizona, famous for its extended post-election ballot count, on Saturday became the last state in the nation called in the 2024 presidential race. The Associated Press, CNN and NBC on Saturday affirmed that Republican Donald Trump won the state.
In a call organized by the Hispanic advocacy group Voto Latino, Biden on Tuesday responded to a comic at Trump’s rally who called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage.” Biden’s initial comments were garbled.
“Just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage. Well, let me tell you something, I don’t, I don’t know the Puerto Rican that I know, the Puerto Rico where I’m fr -- in my home state of Delaware. They’re good, decent honorable people,” he said.
The president then added: “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters. His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American. It’s totally contrary to everything we’ve done, everything we’ve been.”...
