Gina Rinehart spotted at Donald Trump’s party in Florida
Nathan SchmidtNewsWire
Thu, 7 November 2024 6:02AM

Australia’s richest person and vocal Donald Trump supporter Gina Rinehart has been spotted rubbing shoulder’s at the incumbent president’s election day event.
The mining magnate was pictured at Trump’s Mar-A-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida on election night on Wednesday as the results started trickling in.
Mrs Rinehart was seated next to Reform UK party leader and Brexit campaigner Nigel Farage and former Liberal Party vice-president Teena McQueen.
With an estimated net worth of $40 billion, Mrs Rinehart has been a vocal supporter of the controversial former president throughout the campaign.
She told The Australian that she was “nervous, but very much I am hoping for a Trump victory” just days out from polls opening in the US.
The magnate described Trump as “patriotic and courageous” and slammed Democratic hopeful Kamala Harris as “more socialist and worse than” Joe Biden.
Nonetheless, Mrs Rinehart voiced opposition to the possibility of Mr Trump imposing tariffs amid concerns he will reignite a trade war between the US and China.

Not quite Presidential .. but just as big news …..!

In Huge Blow to Gavin Newsom, Prop 36 Passes in 71-21 Landslide – California Votes to Increase Penalties For Theft and Drug Trafficking
Proposition 36 passed in California in a landslide 71% to 21%.
California voters overwhelmingly voted to increase penalties for theft and drug trafficking after a record number of brick and mortar retailers closed down due to smash-and-grab robberies.
Governor Gavin Newsom (D) opposed Prop 36 because he said it’s “too harsh.”
Prop. 36 rolls back some of the soft-on-crime policies that California voters passed in 2014 with Prop. 47.
Per LA Public Press, Prop 47 “scaled back punishments for certain nonviolent offenses for drugs and theft, which were reclassified from felonies to misdemeanors.”
Under Prop. 36, penalties will be increased, and sentences will be lengthened for drug possession and for the theft of items valued at less than $950.

On the economics side. The huge, and I mean huge, uplift in US bank stocks is a vote for the election result.

Banks are an indicator for the macro side of the economy.
Get a load of these rockets.

JPMorgan + 11.5%
Wells Fargo +13%
Goldman +13%
Citibank +8.4%
Morgan Stanley +11.5%
Bank of America + 8.5%

These are eye-popping moves that can’t be ignored.

From an Australian point of view it is not clear it is an unambiguously good result. Historically the US position on free trade is decidedly mixed, not entirely unexpected with a near 400m strong domestic market. I’m sure mUnty can explain what Trump’s proposed tariff policy might mean. Of course, we are probably no closer to knowing whether it will be implemented.

Don’t be sure it doesn’t go the other way with respect to tariffs. Trump may use tariffs as a bargaining chip to extract some real concessions. China too will also be interesting. But yes, if he goes hard on China and the economy slows more we’re potentially fcked.

JC, Australia needs a good dose of reality. I know it’s easy for me to say that as I’m not really affected by it but the time is passed for government to be handing out money to the perennially useless and grifters. There are something like 1300 advisory bodies in Australia telling government where money should go. The grant system has lots of loopholes that in some cases have no auditing of what the money is spent on. Unbloodyeffinbelieveable.

Trump’s victory speech was conciliatory but he needs to go to war against the people who pulled out all the stops to prevent his victory, including attempting to destroy his family and murder him. They and the entire rotten enterprise they run need to get the Carthage treatment. I understand Trump won’t want to be seen to be driving this, but he needs to appoint people who do and who will. Starting with the AG.

This can’t happen again. Justice must be done and seen to be done.

This should be on the OT but a case in point is the millions given to Muslim community groups in western Sydney and northern Melbourne since the war in Gaza began.

Bureaucrats quizzed by James Paterson in a senate inquiry recently couldn’t assure him the money hadn’t gone to extremist elements who would use it for their own ends. He then quoted some highly inflammatory public remarks from community leaders who had received grants.

The chief bureaucrat had to take the question on notice.

From the Babylon Bee:

It’s a scary and confusing time for everyone. To help you be prepared, here are twelve things you should expect to happen over the next few months:

  1. All women immediately issued their Handmaid’s Taleoutfits: Any woman caught not wearing one will be shot.
  2. Construction begins on cages for immigrant kids, minorities, and the LGBTQ community: Minorities will be required to live in a cage for the duration of Trump’s second term.
  3. Tim Walz finally stops pretending to be straight: This should be a huge relief for him.
  4. Ceremonial turning over of the White House Roku remote: One of the most important Presidential traditions.
  5. Changing table removed from White House master bedroom: President Trump is fully capable of changing himself without any help.
  6. Jan 6 becomes a federal holiday: All citizens will be required to leave out McDonald’s for Trump on January 6 Eve.
  7. Journalists all be required to wear dunce caps in public: As well they should.
  8. Keith Olbermann is humanely euthanized: It’s the compassionate thing to do.
  9. Oceans heat up to 1 million degrees Celsius thanks to global warming: Kiss your loved ones goodbye.
  10. RFK Jr. stops grifting for sympathy with his fake hoarse voice: That dude has been milking that for way too long.
  11. All vaccines made illegal, killing everyone on the planet: Experts say this will happen within 2 days of Trump taking office.
  12. You’re finally able to afford eggs: Thank you, Lord!

The danger isn’t over yet, but may his benevolent gaze fall upon sun-lit luscious green fields of the US, as far as the eye can see, for the next 4 years…
…and for his wise, benevolent counsel to strike and banish all evil leftards in the Blob, before casting them, naked and flailing, into the depths of the putrid lakes of faeculent lava where, in Orange God’s infinite benevolence, they may rot for all Eternity.

Trump: a Hammer Blow to Britain’s Demented, Woke Elites

Our director @prwhittle on the greatest political comeback of modern times and our liberal elite’s deranged collective meltdown.

—-

**Summary:** In the video titled “Trump: a Hammer Blow to Britain’s Demented, Woke Elites,” Peter Whittle discusses the recent victory of Donald Trump, framing it as a significant political comeback and a rejection of the liberal establishment in both the United States and Britain. He emphasizes how Trump’s victory symbolizes a backlash against identity politics, political correctness, and elites dismissing ordinary people. Whittle argues that this event should inspire conservative politicians to stand firmly against the left and advocate for traditional values, freedom of speech, and border security. He predicts a backlash from the liberal media and elites in response to Trump’s success but encourages listeners to find motivation in this democratic outcome. **Key Points:** 1. **Trump’s Win Significance:** – Considered the greatest political comeback in modern times. – Indicates a massive victory for the American people and reflects on Western civilization. 2. **Rejection of Elites:** – American voters have rejected political and cultural elites. – They oppose illegal migration and identity politics. 3. **Media Irrelevance:** – Demonstrates the declining relevance of mainstream media and the entertainment industry. – Highlights public contempt for those who belittle voters. 4. **Impact on Conservatism in Britain:** – Urges British conservative politicians to stop appeasing the left. – Encourages a shift towards radical policies, valuing national history, families, and law. 5. **Critique of Liberal Norms:** – Acknowledges a significant portion of the electorate’s disregard for liberal democratic norms. – Predicts backlash from liberal media concerning Trump’s leadership and victory. 6. **Call to Action for Conservatives:** – Advocates for a stronger stance on free speech and against censorship. – Emphasizes the importance of secure borders and responsible immigration policies. 7. **Democratic Strength:** – Celebrates the resilience of democracy and the capacity for the electorate to enact change. – Encourages a sense of courage and solidarity among those fighting against ideological dominance.

I remember my mother in 2020 telling me that Covid was engineered to destroy the Trump presidency. As she often is, Mum was right. This is why yesterday’s win is so sweet. In 2020 the Democrats were able to engineer a perfect storm to assail and unwind the Trump presidency, be it mail in ballots, the Georgina Floydina riots, secreting the old Sniffer away and so on.

And let’s get this straight, once and for all, there was no Trump insurrection on January 6 2021, what ensued was an unseemly riot. Most Americans know this, despite the MSM and the left pushing the ‘insurrection’ narrative, most ordinary Americans know the truth of that day. Ordinary Americans know the real insurrection occurred during the summer of 2020 when the left and the Democrats used an insidious and toxic potion of political and ideological violence to set fire to America. And the result of that potion? US cities torched, small businesses smashed and set fire to, historical statues destroyed, ordinary Americans smeared as ‘waaaacist’, and the worst legcy of 2020? The murders of over 25 black, white and Latino Americans, those men and women now forgotten in the wash up of that dreadful year. And ALL of this was encouraged by the American left and their grotesque mouthpieces, be it the clownish US media, the Democrats, and a woman by the name of Kamala Harris.

I shed no tears for Harris or her party. The Democrats are not the party of JFK, or Carter or even Clinton. The hysterical screeches over the last few weeks that Trump was Hitler and the ludicrous nonsense about Trump’s rally at MSG in NYC as somehow akin to that infamous Nazi rally back in 1939 was the final straw.

Yesterday Americans said ENOUGH.

Whilst I’m rather foggy from too many champers quaffed at Lizzie and Hairy’s last night……

The UK Grauniad opines:
The shocking US election result will create a new world order – and launch a fresh wave of Trump wannabes

Even more than his first victory in 2016, Donald Trump’s re-electionmarks a historic disruption. It is a profound moment of change, not just for the United States but for the rest of the world, too. For decades, the US has been the free world’s essential and reliable nation. Not any more. It could even one day become them against us.

[…]

American voters have done a terrible and unforgivable thing this week. We should not flinch from saying they have turned away from the shared ethos and rules that have shaped the world, generally for the better, since 1945. Americans have concluded that Trump is not “weird”, as it was briefly fashionable to claim, but mainstream. Voters went out on Tuesday and voted weird in huge numbers. Americans must live with the consequences of that.

Looking back over the past four years, it’s hard to see much evidence of “shared ethos and rules” shaping the world.

Really quite simple, build the wall then just bus all of the illegals to the border, put them on the Mexican side of the wall and let Mexico worry about it. After all, it was Mexico that let all of them into their country and facilitated their trip to the US border.

That sort of strategy would teach Mexico never to do it again and to be a better neighbour.

Even after destroying abortion rights, even after a judge went to painstaking lengths to clarify that Trump raped E. Jean Carroll, and even as the Harris campaign targeted the imaginary “silent majority” of women hiding their political views from their husbands, 52 percent of white American women showed us who they are: Trump supporters.

No. Fifty two percent of white American women DIDN’T BELIEVE YOU.

How hard is this to get through your thick skulls, you bunch of lying, fantasising t*rds? This is a perfect example of pygmy, would-be tyrants believing their own overblown constructs.

And who’s to say they actually didn’t cheat and it was only that Trump passed through the cheat margin that he won? I’m not prepared to say that even with the win, there was no cheating with the mail-in votes. I reckon there was.

OK.
With any underhand behaviour you always look for motive and opportunity.
Motive. With the level of visceral hatred of Trump-Hitler 2.0, it isn’t a stretch to think some of them mightn’t be above a bit of “ballot fortification”. In fact, hard to imagine it not happening on some level.
Opportunity. The loosey-goosey electoral rolls in the US, with state based rolls and no tight link to death registers or rigorous eligibility checks, the opportunity to obtain lots of ballot papers is there. Particularly if electoral officials are in on the joke. And massive postal voting allows a relatively small number of people to submit tens of thousands of votes.
The question is not if cheating went on but how much cheating.
Over the last four years the commentary morphed from “no cheating” to “no evidence of cheating” to “it didn’t impact the result”.
I think the projection by the Dimocrats of a “Trump-Hitler out for vengeance if he wins” might have made a few people think twice about being involved in the Big Steal.

it’s obviously so bad the public overwhelmingly voted to overturn a previous proposition from 2014? that downgraded theft to a misdemeanour on Tuesday

The cackling kamel was responsible for the 2014 change. Saw a video of a Tucker interview the other day with a guy who was from Santa Monica talking about the kackler’s disastrous tenure as AG in California.

“Trump and his campaign started early to change the electoral landscape and block the cheat.”

The key to this, I believe, was the lead R’s had in early voting – with D’s coming from behind, they couldn’t kill the election day in-person voting because they wanted to believe that they could pull it back using that, despite the “normal” advantage R’s have in that arena. They thought the same R’s that used to vote on election day in person, had this time voted early. Pity they didn’t check the “voter propensity” numbers first – the R’s early voters had a lot of low propensity (didn’t vote in previous elections) voters. Oops.

We’ve mentioned a couple of the issues exercising women, trans in the bathroom, DEI, grocery prices, crime is another and part time jobs for their children is another.
Illegal immigrants have squeezed Americans teenagers out of the part time and casual job markets.
People want their children to have that very important experience growing up.
As for abortion, it’s just a form of contraception for all these dimwits.
They have so many ways to prevent unwanted pregnancy, including the obvious one, now they’ll just have to think about it a little bit harder.

Fat, black bitch leititia not worried about Trump suggesting she should be arrested. She has caused so much trouble. She ran for office on a platform of getting Trump for any reason and she invented fake charges and aided and abetted by a corrupt judge got an initial conviction. She has corrupted the Justice system and should pay a price. But she’s not the only one. That other fat, black Soros bastard Bragg should join her.

The wonderful Tim Blair has just uploaded this at the Daily Telegraph….

Tim Blair: Albo should be scared, we need to join Trump’s ride
To hell with the scolds and the wimps, the haters and the losers. Donald Trump has changed the way politics works, writes Tim Blair.

Donald Trump has changed the way politics works. He has proved that conventional assessments of electoral risk and gain no longer apply.Trump has done this by taking his ideas straight to voters rather than filtering them through focus groups or committees, or elite media. His stunningly successful 2024 election campaign provides dramatic evidence that old-fashioned direct democracy is an awesome force.

No easily intimidated, safety-first, climate-frightened politician which these days is almost every politician on earth would ever call for, as Trump did at his Republican National Convention in July, hugely expanded fossil fuel mining.

“I will lower the cost of energy,” Trump said. “We will drill, baby, drill.”

For that, Trump was pilloried by all the usual media nancies. But so what? He’s already been vilified throughout the US and internationally as a Nazi, a fascist, a rapist, an appeaser of tyrants and a threat to planetary survival.

And none of it mattered. Donald J. Trump’s re-election as US president is proof that nanny state screamers and their craven press enablers have lost their power.

They went all in on Trump and got absolutely smashed. They were beaten by a guy armed only with a glow tan and a brilliant idea: that regulatory tyranny and the imposition of elite cultural attitudes are poisonous to a free people.

Which brings us to Australia, where we are absolutely dominated by excessive regulations and can’t make a joke without being binned.

Anthony Albanese has previously said that Trump “scares the sh*t out of me”. He’s right to be scared. In fact, Albanese’s entire party and the global leftist bureaucracy should be scared.

Modern leftist power is based on myths and lies. It is dependent on perverse weather beliefs, psychologically corrupting racial and cultural theories and witless anti-Western self-loathing.

Very conveniently for our leftist friends, all of these things somehow always end up requiring bigger and more intrusive government.

That’s the dull, grey, suffocating, tax dependent and obscenely overpaid world of Albo and his crew. They are exactly of a piece with the Washington DC swamp dwellers Trump has vowed to remove.

The opportunity for Liberal leader Peter Dutton is to run with Trump’s momentum. Why only aim for nuclear power when Australia is rich to bursting with every other proven and cheap energy source?

Trump rightly boasts of his own nation’s underground wealth, which he seeks to liberate: “We have more liquid gold, oil and gas, we have more liquid gold than any country in the world.”

We need to join this ride. To hell with the scolds and the wimps, the haters and the losers. Drill, Australia, drill.

Hallelujah, Tim.

From an Australian point of view it is not clear it is an unambiguously good result. Historically the US position on free trade is decidedly mixed, not entirely unexpected with a near 400m strong domestic market. I’m sure mUnty can explain what Trump’s proposed tariff policy might mean. Of course, we are probably no closer to knowing whether it will be implemented.

My guess is it will be two-tiered.
No doubt he will be hard over on obviously dumped product from Chinah.
As for the rest of the world?
I think it will be a bargaining chip.
You want access to the US market?
Well, don’t shit on us.

My take here is that courts and law enforcement weren’t as compliant as they were in 2020. Also, what happened in 2020 is difficult to repeat because the counters developed for it weren’t up in 2020 but they were in 2024. It’s like an intelligence asset, you get to use it once, and once it’s burned, its gone forever.

The ability to sit at the kitchen table for weeks filling out boxes of thousands of mail-in ballots helps too.

A cackling kamel win would quite simply have been too hideous to contemplate, let alone live through. A dangerous, uncertain world would have instantly become even more dangerous.

A sign that we had truly strayed into Idiocracy (as if albansleazy isn’t bad enough) and the inbred cretins had well and truly taken over.

The worst presidential candidate in my lifetime (with daylight second and we’re also talking a stellar field here) and an absolute “up yours” to the electorate from the DNC for having the unmitigated gall to run the preposterous sozzled sow.

“WHENAS in silks my Julia goes,

Then, then, methinks, how sweetly flows

The liquefaction of her clothes!”

Robert Herrick (1591-1674)

“Workin’ that lace, I think it was the French cut

Yeah bitch, you got a big ol’ butt.”

Snoop Dogg (1972-)

I can’t decide which I like more.
