A Dissident Former Leftist
…explains why Trump won.
Obama’s Legacy
How Trump crushed it.
Good riddance.
The “Progressive” Movement

A New Dawn
I slept better last night than I have in quite a while. I wonder now if the election had been weighing on me. As in 2016, it’s as though a great weight has been lifted.
My immediate thoughts: Barack Obama doesn’t get his fourth term. All of that lawfare against Trump is probably moot now. And we won’t be hearing any more whining about the Electoral College, at least for the next four years or so, since he won the popular vote. And speaking of that, what happened to those millions of voters from 2020 that didn’t make it to the polls yesterday? I have a theory.
I may have more thoughts later, but for now, a foreigner explains to other non-Americans why they’re surprised at this outcome.

I hope we’ll find out this week just how undermined they are.
The French Revolutionary Calendar
After the French revolutionaries beheaded their king, they had another bright idea:

"Let's make the day 10 hours long"
This is NOT a joke. Left-wing "experts" actually changed the length of minutes, hours, and weeks in the name of science…
This is the story of that disaster:

By law, this heater is equipped with a thermal switch that shuts off the gas if the flame goes out. It is marketed as a safety feature, but it is something else entirely.
