On Election Night 2016, I was about 60 to 65 percent sure Hillary would win,  and therefore emotionally preparing myself for all the hideous things that would come with such a thing — fascist Obamacare enshrined, further bake-the-cake mandates strangling my Christian faith, a more empowered central government, corruption galore, and a whole lot of Benghazis.

The one great hope I clung to was Michigan.

Something worth paying attention to had happened in that key state during the Democrat primary. The polls in Michigan were not just wrong, they were as wrong as wrong can be.

By the time Election Night rolled around, the Real Clear Politics poll of polls showed a Clinton lead of a whopping 21.4 percent over Bernie Sanders.

By the time it was all over, though, Sanders won Michigan by 1.5 percent.

In Indiana, Bernie was down seven points, he ended up winning by five. Though there was not much up-to-date polling (because Hillary was certain to win by a wide margin), Bernie won a huge upset in Minnesota. Clinton won Pennsylvania, but Bernie did better than expected. Same with West Virginia and North Carolina.

In key states, media polling was, again and again, underestimating Bernie’s support. This was not as true for Trump during the Republican primaries, so the Bernie results were not completely comforting. But there did seem to be a Trumpian portion of the Democrat electorate that polling was not picking up on.

Early on the evening of November 8, I was graciously invited to appear on the anti-Trump Daily Wire Election Night podcast and, of course, asked to make a prediction. With Bernie’s polling on my mind, I gave my 60 to 65 percent  prediction of a Hillary victory with this qualifier…

“Watch North Carolina,” I said. “North Carolina is all tied up. If North Carolina looks comfortable for Trump, then all the other state polling is probably wrong, which means Trump has a chance.”

Trump went on to win my home state by almost four points, and the rest is history.

Watching the media realize just how utterly wrong they were, watching the media realize that they no longer had the power to influence public opinion, watching everyday people rise up and give our corrupt media the all-American middle-finger… There is no way to describe just how joyful that was.

Back in 2004, when George W. Bush beat the media and won re-election, it seemed impossible that anything could be better than that. Those 12 long years were more than worth the wait.

So here they are, as many as I could round up… The glorious meltdowns of the smuggest, nastiest, most sanctimonious, self-righteous and dishonest people in America.

Watching terrible people get their comeuppance never gets old.

Ever.

1. At around the 50 second mark, ABC’s Martha Raddatz literally breaks down and cries … like a girl … and it is glorious:

 

2. The Young Turks’ Ana Kasparian tells female Trump voters they are “f**king dumb” … and it is glorious.

 

3. Those Young Turks again… You can watch the full 26 minute meltdown here, but here is THE moment … and it is glorious.

 

4. CNN’s Jake Tapper is so discombobulated by Trump’s inevitable victory his poise completely falls apart as he accidentally admits he and Hillary are one with the word “we.” Wolf glancing over at the camera is almost as priceless.

 

5. Tapper’s voice is still shaky here, but here it is… The glorious moment Trump-hating CNN learned Donald J. Trump would beat them all and won the presidency:

 

6. MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow melted down for two minutes … and it was glorious:

 

7. Bitter CNN 9/11 Truther Van Jones blames Trump’s victory on a “whitelash.”

 

8. Fully expecting Hillary to win, left-wing Stephen Colbert made the mistake of doing a live Election Night Showtime program … and at right around the 7 minute mark … it was glorious:

 

9. Chris Matthews fact checks Rachel Maddow’s spin … and it was glorious:

 

10. All those sad faces at CBS News are … glorious. Look at Charlie Rose with his shattered face is all squinched up like Popeye as he stares at the nothingness that is his credibility.

 

11. Katie Couric and her online panel are shattered … and it’s glorious:

 

12. James Carville on MSNBC is … glorious. Even more glorious? The guy who put up the YouTube video laughing uncontrollably at all the MSNBC anguish:

 

13. Watch the hideous Morning Joe crew attempt to recover from misleading their viewers for months .. glorious:

 

14. Finally, here is an exquisite montage of our awful elites, who are not only shattered by their own personal election loss, but by the realization that they no longer matter, that all their moral authority was a fabricated mirage that only fooled them:

When the media is in emotional pain, that can only mean good things for America and Americans.

Left-wing CNN has been caught red-handed selectively-editing a Donald Trump quote as a means to make the president look foolish during his overseas trip to Japan.

In its second piece of very fake news launched against Trump Monday morning (here is the first), CNN’s snarky and dishonest headline reads, “Trump asks Japan to build cars in the U.S. It already does.” In order to justify its misleading headline, CNN lies through omission by deliberately publishing only part of Trump’s statement during a meeting with Japanese automakers on Monday:

“Try building your cars in the United States instead of shipping them over. Is that possible to ask? That’s not rude. Is that rude? I don’t think so,” is the only part of what Trump said that CNN bothers to quote.

CNN then points and laughs at Trump’s ignorance with this deceptive fact check: “Japanese automakers, however, already have huge factories in the U.S. that churn out millions of cars each year.”

But in order to mock the president, the fake news factory that is CNN misleads its readers by not quoting Trump in full, a quote which very clearly shows the president is not only fully aware of that fact that Japanese automakers make cars in America, but that he is grateful to them for doing so:

And we love it when you build cars — if you’re a Japanese firm, we love it — try building your cars in the United States instead of shipping them over.  Is that possible to ask?  That’s not rude.  Is that rude?  I don’t think so.  (Laughter.)  If you could build them. But I must say, Toyota and Mazda — where are you?  Are you here, anybody?  Toyota?  Mazda?  I thought so.  Oh, I thought that was you.  That’s big stuff.  Congratulations.  Come on, let me shake your hand.  (Applause.)  They’re going to invest $1.6 billion in building a new manufacturing plant, which will create as many as 4,000 new jobs in the United States.  Thank you very much.  Appreciate it.  (Applause.)

Hours later, after being shamed on social media, CNN updated the piece to include Trump’s full quote but, as if to once again prove the truth means nothing to them, the utterly dishonest headline remained the same.

This has been another terrible week for CNN.

Earlier Monday, the network was busted publishing misleading video to invent a Trump blunder during a photo-op with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

In the fake video, the last-place cable news network focused in only on Trump as he emptied a box of fish food into a koi pond. What CNN did not want its Twitter followers to know is that Trump was following the prime minister’s lead in doing so. CNN’s misleading video was meant to make Trump look foolish and impatient as he dumped out the box.

Adding to CNN’s ongoing ratings and reputation woes was Jake Tapper’s misleading and wildly inappropriate interpretation of “Allahu Akbar” late last week in the immediate aftermath of a deadly Islamic terror attack in New York City.

To make matters worse, Tapper, whose dual reputation and ratings crises have become an embarrassment to CNN, suffered a humiliating public meltdown in reaction to the criticism.

CNN’s crusade to destroy President Trump has only blown back on the banana network, which was once in second place behind only Fox News, but is now not only in dead last place but national joke.

Democrats and the media wasted no time in exploiting the murder of 26 Christians as they attended worship services to push their gun control agenda.

26-year-old atheist Devin Patrick Kelley – a dishonorably discharged Air Force veteran – opened fire at a Texas Baptist church Sunday on a planned mission of massacre that became the deadliest church shooting in US history. His victims included at least a dozen children, another 20 people were injured.

Rather than hold their tongues out of respect for the dead, the relentlessly anti-Christian, anti-Second Amendment left started in on gun control before the bodies had even cooled off.

And one of the buzzards circling the corpses was none other than former President Barack Obama. Never a man to pass up a chance to play politics, Barry waded in.

May God also grant all of us the wisdom to ask what concrete steps we can take to reduce the violence and weaponry in our midst.

— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) November 6, 2017

Via The Hill “Obama: May God grant us the wisdom for how to prevent gun violence”:

Former President Obama called for action on gun violence after the deadly mass shooting at a church in Texas on Sunday.

“We grieve with all the families in Sutherland Springs harmed by this act of hatred, and we’ll stand with the survivors as they recover,” Obama tweeted Sunday.

“May God also grant all of us the wisdom to ask what concrete steps we can take to reduce the violence and weaponry in our midst.”

At least 26 people were killed after a gunman opened fire at a church in Sutherland Springs, Texas. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) said it was the deadliest mass shooting in the state’s history, and it came a little more than a month after the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history, in Las Vegas.

Obama pushed to pass new gun laws following deadly mass shootings during his administration, most notably after the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012.

The words “decency” and “Obama” will never collide in the same sentence.

There is also the New York Times with an obscene gimmick of a clock ticking off the time before a “debate” on how to best disarm law-abiding Americans can begin.

And of course Trump hating, anti-gun zealot and Democrat Senator Chris Murphy.

Can you sleep tonight, colleagues, when the price of gun lobby goodwill is this – blood soaked church and school floors, city streets?

— Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) November 5, 2017

Jimmy Kimmel will no doubt shed fake tears again during tonight’s monologue.

The callous manner in how quickly that the left has exploited this horrific slaughter of innocents is beyond the pale but par for the course.

Liberals never fail to stun me.

Following the mass shooting Sunday morning in Texas, where suspected atheist shooter Devin Patrick Kelley killed 26 men, women and children at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, a number of prominent liberals took to Twitter to blast Christians for responding to the attack with “thoughts and prayers.”

While some aimed their ire at House Speaker Paul Ryan, others seemed to direct their misplaced rage at any Christian who responded to the tragedy with “thoughts and prayers”:

The murdered victims were in a church. If prayers did anything, they’d still be alive, you worthless sack of shit. https://t.co/iGHxPrYrLN

— Wil Wheaton (@wilw) November 5, 2017

There were plenty of prayers in the church where 27 people were gunned down today. What we need is gun control, you spineless sack of shit. https://t.co/b07LXwjk0h

— Lauren Duca (@laurenduca) November 5, 2017

Enough with the prayin’. Time to start legislatin’.

— Stephen King (@StephenKing) November 5, 2017

Respectfully, @SpeakerRyan, you scrotally challenged wonder, those slain were praying in a church. Prayers are not a relevant intervention. https://t.co/J4nWPumTWT

— David Simon (@AoDespair) November 5, 2017

“Thoughts and prayers” is just another way of saying “I literally give zero fucks.”

— Kaili Joy Gray (@KailiJoy) November 5, 2017

I’m sick & tired of “thoughts and prayers” for mass shooting victims. What we need: legislation & regulation. Start with assault-weapon ban.

From what I know thus far about Kelley, I suspect he would have agreed with these anti-Christian fat cats.

Moving on …

Contrast these reactions to the way the left responded when Islamist terrorist Sayfullo Saipov plowed through a crowd of pedestrians in New York City last week as he reportedly yelled out, “Allahu Akbar!”

Allahu Akbar simply means “God is the greatest.”
“…remember that the phrase used by millions of Muslims and… https://t.co/ARkafr9jSn

It’s just unbelievable …

Though on the other hand, it does explain why liberals continue to lose election after election after election after election:

Because, frankly, they live in an upside-down world where good is bad, bad is good, “Allahu Akbar” is beautiful and “thoughts and prayer” are dumb.
