With Trump's Victory, Schools Offer 'Post-Election Wellness Spaces' In hindsight, Georgetown University's McCourt School of Public Policy saw it coming. As I reported Monday, the school set up a "Self-Care Suite" for students the day after the election, offering opportunities to play with Legos, color with crayons, and eat milk and cookies "in recognition of these stressful times." Stressful times, indeed. This is the Kamala Harris demographic, and the school's administration understood that its student body would need help adjusting to the fact that Donald Trump would soon be their next president. But Georgetown is hardly an outlier. Across the country, university professors and students took what amounted to a national mental health day as the news of Trump's victory sunk [sic] in.

'Don't Despair,' Kamala Tells Celebrating Nation [...] While Americans of all ages, races, and socioeconomic backgrounds continued to joyously celebrate Trump's return to power, Harris pleaded with everyone not to give in to any feelings of sorrow and heartbreak.

Glorious opinion. Comments? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We Won and We Need to Act Like It Breathe deeply and savor the musky scent of broken leftist dreams. Mmmmmmm. Smells like freedom! Now, we must get busy pummeling our enemies. Some silly people will say that you shouldn't kick an opponent when he's down. That's actually the best time to kick him. This is no time to go wobbly. We beat the left decisively and completely. Their humiliation is complete. They thought they had us at their feet and at their mercy. They thought they could throw our avatar in jail and thereby disenfranchise and silence us. They thought they were going to be in power forever and rule over us as if we were serfs and they were feudal lords, except feudal lords were actually kind of butch and had swords and stuff and didn't go around crying because someone used the wrong pronoun to describe them. That America dodged a bullet is beyond debate. Ironically, [...] https://townhall.com/columnists/kurtschlichter/2024/11/07/we-won-and-we-need-to-act-like-it-n2647394

2024's Biggest Loser Is The Corporate Media Industrial Complex In the early hours of Wednesday morning, legacy news networks were already sliding toward 2016 levels of melting down about the increasingly definite prospect of a presidential victory by Donald J. Trump. For them, Harris' stinging defeat is personal — because it's just as much a defeat for them as it is for her. The corporate media industrial complex has spent Donald Trump's entire political career trying to destroy him. Hand-in-hand with triple-letter government agencies and Democrats, they ran a hoax painting Trump as a Russian stooge based on ridiculous rumors commissioned by his opponent's campaign in 2016. They continued to spread the lie for the duration of his presidency, awarding each other Pulitzers for it. And they've only ramped up their efforts since then. The problem they're reckoning with tonight is this: those efforts didn't work. They're no longer able to control Americans by controlling their information intake, because [...] https://thefederalist.com/2024/11/06/2024s-biggest-loser-is-the-corporate-media-industrial-complex/
