Jessica, I want you to know how much I have appreciated and absolutely lived for all of your coverage! You are so talented and I hope you know that we all have such a deep appreciation for all of the time you sacrificed to give us the content we SO needed!! We love you! Thank you! I'm hopeful for the future 🇺🇸
I’m at a loss as well. Not sure why a man who admires dictators and expresses a desire to be like them is celebrated. I guess we shall see how regular Americans fare under the new America. Where preexisting conditions will make health care unaffordable. miscarriage could end in more deaths of mothers and climate change will be more costly than anyone imagined. Unless, Trump is just being sarcastic. Elon Musk as the master of the economy? How rich do I have to be to profit from that.
Can I get the $100 that I donated to this publication back? Please? 🙏
Trump does not admire dictators, let’s start there. He sizes up his opponents/foes. He gives credit when it’s due. Calling someone smart does not equate to admiration. Consider that Democrats have been in the WH 14 of the last 16 years and you’re blaming Trump?
Your comment is so full of half truth, lies and fear mongering it’s not worth responding to each point. I suggest you read accurate and truthful news and get the 411. You don’t have it.
This election was between people who follow and believe all the media headlines and those who do not. Stop with the drama, chicken little. He was just president less than a decade ago. You were fine. In January, stop getting your news from MSM and you will be just fine.
Fine? How would you know that? What about women who have died due to miscarriage because they were denied medical treatment? Would you say the same to her family? Drama, you can tell them. Stop listening to news! You’ll get over your loss in no time. Think of how much more money you’ll have in your pockets! And no, I’m not fine either.
Please provide context/example of a miscarriage suffered where care was denied. What state? If abortion is the issue, there are at least 17 states where abortions are legally performed.
Whoa. The cult mentality is astonishing on this thread. I had no idea. I guess I never really paid attention to this substack. So much TDS. It's amazing.
Oh dear. You really believe that. What a sad, unhappy life you must be leading. You were probably wishing for and hoping and dreaming of paying taxes on unrealized capital gains, too. Bwahahaha.
A sad and unhappy life? Well, if Trump gets his way, I won't be very happy. Will you? What do you think he'll do for you? Are you a mega billionaire? Lucky you. Trump may just make your life better. Do you hate immigrants? Ohhhh, you will be delighted!!!
Interesting to learn that you have taken in and are housing illegal immigrants. All I am doing is paying for their hotel rooms, free phones and medical care, and EBT cards. Oh, and their court-appointed lawyers for the people they murder.
WOW, you've drank way too much of that BLUE KOOLAID. Get out of the echo chamber and get some FACTUAL NEWS. It'll all be OK. You've been terribly mis-led.
Thank you for ALL your time, personal time away from family & mostly for bringing us all together on this honest ride. You have been unapologetically YOU & holding to your values. It’s been such a fun year to follow politics. It brought many of us all together. I learned about politicians, I honestly probably wouldn’t have listened to. Your coverage was refreshingly honest! Thank you❤️ thank you to your husband & kids, as they allowed you to let us in🇺🇸❤️🤍💙🇺🇸
As a birth worker, the amount of women wholly uneducated about the "reproductive rights" conversation, miscarriages, abortion ect is staggering. That was the issue with the Dem talking points. It was heavy handed for abortion rights. Did Trump take your abortion rights away the 1st time? No. Sending it to the states insures the demographic of that area gets the abortion access that area wants. But the medical diagnosis on the left are fantastic. Trump is apparently a narnarcissist, malignant dependending on who is writing the headline. Miscarriages are killing women. That's now how this works. You can't diagnose via the internet, and miscarriages don't kill women. Postpartum infections and malpractice do.
Lqbtqia+++ are in danger. African Americans are as well. But that's so weird cause he was already president, those statements were false then as well. Demographics this go round show he flipped ALL POC numbers, and historical highs for all Latino denominations.
Everyone is reacting like he wasn't already in office once. He has stated he made a ton of mistakes, didn't take good advice, didn't appoint the appropriate advisors ect.
I don't even care about the screeching and upset about Trump in gengeneral. Ppl have hated him for almost 10yr. Ppl who hate him, you can't change their minds. BUT the ignorance around birth, miscarriages, ectopic pregnancy, abortion (weeks, procedures, types of abortions), what constitutes and abortion on your insurance vs in real life ect are abhorrent.
Kw, because the same laws in place 3 days ago are still in place. The same laws in place in 6m will still be in place, but with a closed border. Legal immigration adds a safety control to ppl coming in. Laws are meant to be followed by everyone. It is 2024. NO black or brown person is being harmed in the streets. Statistically unless it's another black or brown person. And 15 police killings a year cross country. White ppl kill more white ppl as well. Although, interestingly enough when I was 13 my mother was beaten to death by black men in a rural NC town, and they got away with it woth the help of the police. Because they redistribute drugs for dirty cops. Thats how the fuck I can see things the way I see them. My Mama's color and female status didn't stop her from being murdered. Their poc and male status didn't put them in jail. Not everything is black and white.
You were at least trying to be logical a month ago. You're in your feelings right now and being a bitch. Step back and remember what you used to tell everyone. Look at policy and FACT. There is no part of the gov that can be changed by Trump that would allow races and lgbtqia to be harmed (although that's subjective. Feelings don't count). And reproductive rights were tasked by the supreme court. He can't touch those either.
Jamie, sadly my whole childhood was rough. Well under the poverty line, we had an out house, sketch power ect. I'm only 37. So I grew up poor 1930 tho sort of. My mom sadly was a little manic bipolar and an alcoholic. She def had herself in ununsafe positions in her manic episodes. But it was a lot to get around mentally. Cause there is the narrative that this doesn't happen to white ppl. So it was a whole thing. My rough childhood actually helped me mentally deal with her passing. I have her ashes in my home. I have closure ect. But it does inform how I see race relations. I can honestly admit that openly. Her color and sex didn't shield her or my family.
You are wrong about the number of killings by police. Besides that, police kill civilians in their own homes, or abuse them openly. I’m not talking about what is legal. I’m talking about what people get away with.
Calling me a “bitch” for asking you a pointed question speaks to your own feelings, not mine.
Kw I do know actually. Since I was the victim of a violent hate crime as mentioned above. But again, that doesn't fit your narrative of victim victim I guess. If white men murdered your mother and got away with it we would have to sing a different tune because you're a poc. But it happening to a white woman isn't good enough to appropriately understand race relations in regards to violence I guess.
You are being a bitch. In the whole thread. You're talking about empathy and everyone understanding your plight. And seeing your pain, your communities pain (which, I ironically do, but its hard to communicate with anyone being so angry)...but you're being so ugly to everyone. All the while over half of this nation just said they're tired of the identity politics and whining and PC shit. You were so smug a month ago. So sure Kamala was the great savior. But at least you were able to have some discourse and conversation with people in a different way. The results made you feel shit and you are taking it out on a comment section on sub stack.
I’m not a POC, I’m not sure where you got that idea.
I’m sorry your mother was the victim of a crime. Your story doesn’t magically mean Black people are the enemy in every case, nor does it absolve the police of their crimes.
Kw I assumed you were by the way you went hard at me being neither in the community or poc. How the fuck would I know anything ect.
Ya I know my mom's story gives a gray area. That's why I shared it. Not everyone in the LGBTqia community or poc community are the only ones neg affected by police/gov ect. And in my case the poc were the protected ones instead of the white person. There are a ton of morally gray areas. And it feels polarizing to you in diff ways than me. I don't Harbor I'll will towards all poc or police. But it does give me pause and question things more. Which is what I was trying to say.
I selfishly say Trump is better for my personal life. My husband's retirement will go more smoothly from the usmc, home buying is going to be a different scenario, va loans are shifting ect. But that doesn't mean I want bad for other ppl. I think there are more ppl like me then most liberals can see. But it's the polarizing of the left and right arguments.
I’m a woman of child bearing age. If a man decides to exert his will over me, I’m SOL in many states.
I’m a queer woman. The violence against queer people increased dramatically under Trump.
I have trans friends and family. Trump empowers people to hate anyone who’s different from them. Their rights are being stripped in FL.
Empathy is important and being unable to understand how electing a bully empowers people to hate is really key, here. Y’all are being told the left hates you. We don’t. We just want to live our lives freely, as you do.
Kw that's now how that works. You're blaming Trump for issues that the Supreme Court decided. You do NOT HAVE A RIGHT to an abortion. The courts decided that. Not the President. Abortion for rape, incest and medical make up less than one percent of abortions as well. If a state has a zero tolerance policy, planned parenthood buses individuals to other states. That's legal, and their right to do so.
Poc aren't killed by Police at a rate more than 15 a year all over the nation. That's a fact. Police actually kill more whites then any other race. Whites are more likely to be on hard drugs and hard alcalcohol causing them to attack police. I didn't mention abuse by police, although a black Harvard professor just proved with multiple double blind studies that police don't abuse poc at a higher rate in traffic stops ect. But ya, these stats are correct, but they don'tfit a dem scare tactic.
You are in your feelings because you're only seeing YOUR plight. You're a queer woman and you're bathed more in the lqbtqia community then you are with regular people in your personal time because of your orientation, which is fine becausethats your personal time. Over 80% of the population doesn't want trans in bathrooms or women's sports. But there are not lqbtqia individuals being murdered or physically harmed in America at the rates youre claiming. There is no statistic that can appropriately measure that compared to other crimes other then acts of violence as a hate crime. Those are listed on police reports And they don't show the numbers where you say they were and are abused and hated.
Who appointed the SCOTUS who decided, Samantha? Trump has bragged that *he* ended Roe V Wade. It’s a platform Republicans have held onto for decades now. The three SCOTUS judges he appointed his first term all lied in their confirmation hearings and said they wouldn’t overturn Roe and considered it precedent.
You are assuming a whole lot about my personal life. I don’t segregate my friends by their sexual orientation, and I’m not sure where you get your data but your info on trans people (not “trans”) is incorrect. Most Americans DGAF. The GOP invented an issue and y’all fell for it hook, line, and sinker.
The police don’t report on their own violence, btw. Imagine thinking the guilty party would do that. There’s what’s called a “blue wall” among officers. Abuse goes unreported (and officers who report it are ostracized).
Kw row v wade being overturned does not stop abortion. It moves it out if the governmental hands. He can appoint who ever he wants to appoint. If they gain access to the courts then that is out of our hands. The fact still remains that it's not an abortion ban. He does not have the power to give an abortion ban. No one does. Unless state by state that passes. And it never will. Yall fell for the hook line and sinker of that lie.
I didn't say you segregated your friends by sex or orientation. But by default I have more hetero friends and outside of work ppl. Because I'm in a hetero relationship. Same goes for other demographics.
I understand more than you the blue wall. Ans how cops can hide anything they want. But in large dem cities that not usually the case. The numbers can be argued all day. But it's not as inflated as you are saying they are. And you can then come back to me and say they're not as low.
KF she wasn't this angry a month ago. Snippy and a smart ass. Assuming she was way smarter then everyone else. Sort of how all the main stream news is calling all of middle America uneducated, non college graduates (which is hilarious cause I am SAHM mom, homeschool ect. And I have multiple degrees for fun lol I'm not in the work force cause I don't have to be). They can't fathom that smart ppl would vote red. And for Trump especially. But popular vote and electoral were red. So rare, so that means they should probably all take a step back and think on why so many ppl voted against her, the party ect. So KW is in her feelings, where usually she's just snippy and wants to rurumble in a comment section.
Kf I'm selfish in this end of things. My husband is ucmc and his 20yr retirement will be under a rep. That's the best news for me personally. His retirement will be exponentially more streamline. But more then that. I'm neither left or right. In the middle on some things, right on others ect. But I was SHOCKED no one was upset that she was placed. She didn't have to run. Even Hilary had to run, and held her own. As much as I loathe her because of her military policies, she at least held her own in the polls and running.
I’m not angry, I’m confused at how many adults need to have empathy explained to them. I was taught empathy by my conservative parents and it seems to have disappeared on the right.
You, your team/family, and Link have so much to do with this win. I shudder to think of how it would have gone without you. Thank you all for what you've done. My daughter prayed with her 2 young sons yesterday (the oldest will be 5 on the 14th). When I got there yesterday Jameson, the oldest, said "We prayed for the President with Mommy. Can we pray with you too?" My daughter does not pray with her children. Not out loud at least. That made a huge impact on my precious grandson. He knows prayer works - we just have to hope he soon realizes it's not "magic" so he will not get new Monster Trucks on a whim! God has blessed us with you all Jessica. Thank you. As my daughter told her boys "You now have a great future."
you prayed for that? what do you tell your daughters about telling the truth? about maturity and responsibility? about decency? look i understand you're excited that your candidate won, i just don't know how to reconcile all this excitement with the truth about what your candidate is. plain as day. he's a liar, sociopath, has no insight or maturity or decency - and you're teaching your children to pray for him, but also tell them to tell the truth and be kind to others? i wish i understood better how you square such opposites with each other. no hate here, just sadness that this is the new standard and that children are learning this. don't lie - but your president can do it. don't be unkind - but your president can be cruel and inhumane. i truly wish we could all discuss this without anger. i want to understand.
Take a look at your party and recognize where they’ve fallen short. Lies and name-calling dominated the narrative as they pushed the sitting president out and installed "their" choice—without a primary and without the voice of the people.
Do you truly appreciate your tax dollars funding illegal immigration while providing better housing, food, and phones to them, rather than our own citizens? Meanwhile, our veterans are left sleeping on the streets. Our citizens are in desperate need of assistance, and our schools are crying out for a much-needed overhaul. The reality is that the schools in poorer neighborhoods are severely lacking. If my kids want an affordable home, they’re faced with schools that rank at a dismal 2! That is simply unacceptable in the United States!
We should be striving for the best education possible. Instead, we're allowing harmful dyes and unneeded ingredients to poison our children and adults alike. It’s unacceptable for our youth to struggle with health issues, including prediabetes, dependence on ADD medications, or depression. There’s a significant amount of work to be done, and it’s been stated time and time again that Democrats have held power for 12 of the last 16 years without addressing any of these critical issues. It’s time for change!
I actually feel sad for you that you have believed everything the MSM has fed you. You realize that the MSM uses fear as a tactic to gain power over people. They can get others to believe that someone like Trump is a monster. Fortunately, there are Americans who have actually listened to Trump's entire speeches instead of listening to clipped comments on the MSM. Trump is the opposite of Hitler. How anyone could think that Trump is compared to Hitler is farcical. As for women's healthcare, it has nothing to do with Trump. That is a lie that the Liberal media has spouted over and over to instill fear in people. It is the Supreme Court that put the power of abortion rights into the people of each state, which is how the forefathers set the Constitution up in the first place. It should have never been a decision made at the Federal level. Trump has said over and over that he is not against abortion. He has no desire to have any say over abortion rights. He has said over and over that it is up to the people of each state. You have also been fed a false narrative about how women who are in danger of their lives will be forced to give birth. That is crap! If a woman's life is in danger then she can choose to abort the baby or not. It really sickens me how the Left twists everything to make people fear. They also make it sound like Trump is some dictator that can wave a wand and decide that abortion is banned from the entire country. That is not how the Constitution is set up! Trump actually has nothing to do with what each state decides. He has nothing to do with it!!!!! He believes that the choice is up to each state because he follows the Constitution.
You have been fed a bunch of lies to make you scared. You should have listened and followed more than just the Liberal news media that want to scare people into voting for their candidate. Nothing they have fed you is true! Trump's own wife has stated that she is for women's rights to choose. Trump has never, not once, said he is against abortion!
As for Trump being a racist and a rapist and blah blah blah. It's not true. Every black person who has ever worked for Trump loves him. Trump gives his own money to those in need without touting his own horn. There are stories that have come out of Trump paying off people's mortgages just because they helped him when his car broke down. The black people who have worked for him have come out and said that Trump has never been racist towards anyone. Trump dated black women back in the day for heavens sake! You are listening to the lies that have been fed to you. The issue is you truly have Trump Derangement Syndrome. Most of us have woken up to the fact that the Liberals absolutely loved Trump until he was elected president. Why do they hate him so much? Because they can't control him. He is not a puppet. He is not a politician. He will call out people's corruption. So what did the Left do? They accuse him of things that they actually have done. It's disgusting. Trump loves America. He loves the American people. He fights for the little guy. And here is a fact....Black communities and minorities were better off when Trump was president than any other president in history. The employment rate skyrocketed and minorities were thriving. In less than a year the Biden/Harris administration ruined all of it. You truly need to look at facts and stop listening to the lying rhetoric that has made Trump look like Satan himself. It is disgusting how the MSM and the Left elitists have divided Americans. They will lie and do anything to try and bring down Trump even though our country was thriving when he was president. If you do not want to listen to how Americans are celebrating because we know life is about to get better, then unfollow House In Habit! Everyone here knows that you have TDS and that you have fed into all the lies that you now think is fact. It's truly sad that something said over and over will make people believe it.
First- people pray for many people, good and bad. Where do you get your information from that you believe it to be 100 % truth? Second, you say you want to understand, but you are coming off sounding very angry. Third, you don't think that Harris or Biden lied or are decent? You call Trump a sociopath- how do you know this?
Please provide context with accusations. If you believe in The Almighty you should pray for whoever our "leader" is, that in their leadership they'll lead in a way that draws US closer together, for our safety and as is possible peace in the world.
You ask a good question. I don't know about RLB, but I'm a Republican and I've prayed for Biden, Kamala, and all our leaders. Because wanting our leadership to fail is like being on a plane and wanting the pilot to crash.
shame on you who congratulate one another while children in our rich nation die from hunger, where the reading levels of kids in many neighborhoods drags behind most post modern societies, where an ignorant, narcissistic poser will do anything and everything to feel powerful. This, alongside his impulsive, unbridled, ourrageous behavior IN PUBLIC. This is the man we choose to protect us from tyranny, from violence? Those of you safe in your homes, with your big bedrooms, your fancy drinks, your beautiful china; Those who are comfortable in thier quiet little houses, with grass growing well in the backyard; Folks are homeless, schools are falling apart in forgotten neighborhoods--chipped paint filled with lead is eaten by kids because they are hungry. Their brains are beling poisoned. . Many school aged kids cannot read properly in middle school. How can anyone boast their "great future" when too many are left behind? How can we rejoice in a win that neglects large segments of our people, where rules or laws are frought with racism, self interest, disaffection. How, may I ask to poster below, is this like Christmas?
You realize there was no war for the first time in forever when Trump was president? Do you realize that children were safer when Trump was president? You really need to stop listening to the Liberal MSM and look at facts. Also, crime has skyrocketed since Biden/Harris came into office. I love how the Liberal media says, "Crime is down." Uhhh, ya it is down from when it was at it's highest with Biden/Harris, but it is still way higher than when Trump was in office. You hear things on the MSM over and over and you believe it. Other countries respected Trump. No one would mess with America when Trump was president. We weren't paying billions of tax dollar money to fight other countries wars while our own Americans are living in devastation with no help from our government. Instead of listening to the Liberal media, maybe open your mind to why so many people like Trump. Do you really believe that half of our country would vote for a racist, misogynistic, rapist president? Do you really believe that you know the truth and that we are all uneducated and dumb? It is dumbfounding to me that Liberals truly believe that crap! Did you know that Republicans give more to the needy than Liberals? That is called charity and love for others! Taxes are forced. It is not charity. It is not given out of the goodness of someone's heart. Money out of someone's pocket and time helping others in need is called charity. And Republicans are the ones that give most to those in need. The Liberals paint us out to be hateful, bigoted, racist, and uneducated. It is false. It is a false narrative they want you to believe because they want you to continue to believe everything they say. Wake up! Half of the USA would not vote for a rapist, racist, bigoted, misogynistic person to run our country. We are the ones that look at facts and actually listen to everything Trump says and more importantly his actions! Actions always speak louder than words! Obama was a smooth talker, but he was a sly snake!
and he won because people think the economy is in the toilet. they feel badly about the economy. and trump lies about how he will help people while he steals from them, while they pray for his success - in grifting from them. it's a great gig if he can get it - distract them while he can take from them and they thank him and even pray for him. and have lavish parties while they complain about the economy. or maybe it's just they want to pay lower taxes and keep more so they can buy more for themselves and party harder. i dunno. wish i understood and could have a civil discussion with a maga person about it. we should be able to discuss with each other. feel like i'm missing something.
Let’s get school choice for parents and overhaul the education system. It’s a shot show and we’re failing our country by not educating our public school kids!
Thanks Jess for all that you do! What a breathe of fresh air to read real news…take a break and come back refreshed! This movement just got started! MAGA MAHA MOM
What. A. Night!!!!!! Today feels like the greatest Christmas morning ever. I’m so grateful for all of your reporting. It’s just so incredible how you brought us along the journey of Bobby and Donnie. And then together. It was fate. How lucky we all are!!!
Jessica, I want you to know how much I have appreciated and absolutely lived for all of your coverage! You are so talented and I hope you know that we all have such a deep appreciation for all of the time you sacrificed to give us the content we SO needed!! We love you! Thank you! I'm hopeful for the future 🇺🇸
THANK YOU so much for working your ass off the last couple months especially! SO very much appreciated. Enjoy the down-time!
Still can’t believe we got the win….MAGA MAHA♥️🇺🇸
Thank you! There is no doubt that your hard work and relentlessness definitely tipped the scale to victory. Congratulations and get some rest!!!
How do I get this MAGAt troll out of my mail? I keep unsubscribing but the turd won't flush.
Anyone who talks like this isn't welcome here anyway. Are you in 4tj grade?
I’m at a loss as well. Not sure why a man who admires dictators and expresses a desire to be like them is celebrated. I guess we shall see how regular Americans fare under the new America. Where preexisting conditions will make health care unaffordable. miscarriage could end in more deaths of mothers and climate change will be more costly than anyone imagined. Unless, Trump is just being sarcastic. Elon Musk as the master of the economy? How rich do I have to be to profit from that.
Can I get the $100 that I donated to this publication back? Please? 🙏
Trump does not admire dictators, let’s start there. He sizes up his opponents/foes. He gives credit when it’s due. Calling someone smart does not equate to admiration. Consider that Democrats have been in the WH 14 of the last 16 years and you’re blaming Trump?
Your comment is so full of half truth, lies and fear mongering it’s not worth responding to each point. I suggest you read accurate and truthful news and get the 411. You don’t have it.
You lost me at “Trump doesn’t admire dictators”…I beg to differ.
Keep your enemies close….Trump Trained❤️
This election was between people who follow and believe all the media headlines and those who do not. Stop with the drama, chicken little. He was just president less than a decade ago. You were fine. In January, stop getting your news from MSM and you will be just fine.
Fine? How would you know that? What about women who have died due to miscarriage because they were denied medical treatment? Would you say the same to her family? Drama, you can tell them. Stop listening to news! You’ll get over your loss in no time. Think of how much more money you’ll have in your pockets! And no, I’m not fine either.

https://www.texastribune.org/2024/11/01/nevaeh-crain-death-texas-abortion-ban-emtala/
This was quite literally last week and it was major news
They don't pay any mind to the news. Why should they? They've got folks like whose ever substack this is to tell them what is going on.
Texas.
You believed all that? Really?
Why wouldn’t I? Are you calling Trump a liar? Haha
Whoa. The cult mentality is astonishing on this thread. I had no idea. I guess I never really paid attention to this substack. So much TDS. It's amazing.
You have a preexisting condition called TDS - Trump Derangement Syndrome. Get well soon. I know it's a rough battle within yourself.
Craft an actual counter argument instead of just lobbing the only insult y’all use.
Critical thinking and media literacy ain’t your strong suit doll.
He’s a pretty well documented liar.
Oh dear. You really believe that. What a sad, unhappy life you must be leading. You were probably wishing for and hoping and dreaming of paying taxes on unrealized capital gains, too. Bwahahaha.
A sad and unhappy life? Well, if Trump gets his way, I won't be very happy. Will you? What do you think he'll do for you? Are you a mega billionaire? Lucky you. Trump may just make your life better. Do you hate immigrants? Ohhhh, you will be delighted!!!
Interesting to learn that you have taken in and are housing illegal immigrants. All I am doing is paying for their hotel rooms, free phones and medical care, and EBT cards. Oh, and their court-appointed lawyers for the people they murder.
WOW, you've drank way too much of that BLUE KOOLAID. Get out of the echo chamber and get some FACTUAL NEWS. It'll all be OK. You've been terribly mis-led.
Says Trump's loyal cult member. Well done!
i also have no idea how i stumbled on this one. yikes.
Thank you for ALL your time, personal time away from family & mostly for bringing us all together on this honest ride. You have been unapologetically YOU & holding to your values. It’s been such a fun year to follow politics. It brought many of us all together. I learned about politicians, I honestly probably wouldn’t have listened to. Your coverage was refreshingly honest! Thank you❤️ thank you to your husband & kids, as they allowed you to let us in🇺🇸❤️🤍💙🇺🇸
♥️♥️♥️
Jess - you are a wonderful person and a badass journalist. I admire you. Thank you for your contributions towards this incredible victory.
Definitely a sense of “fresh breath” in the air… change is here.
Yet some people are actually shocked Harris lost: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/if-youre-mad-harris-lost-youre-tone
Like how didn’t you see this coming?
As a birth worker, the amount of women wholly uneducated about the "reproductive rights" conversation, miscarriages, abortion ect is staggering. That was the issue with the Dem talking points.

BUT the ignorance around birth, miscarriages, ectopic pregnancy, abortion (weeks, procedures, types of abortions), what constitutes and abortion on your insurance vs in real life ect are abhorrent.
Samantha, thank you for stating this, obviously many are misled/confused.
If you aren’t LGBTQ+ or Black, how the fuck would you know if we were in danger?
Kw, because the same laws in place 3 days ago are still in place. The same laws in place in 6m will still be in place, but with a closed border. Legal immigration adds a safety control to ppl coming in. Laws are meant to be followed by everyone. It is 2024. NO black or brown person is being harmed in the streets. Statistically unless it's another black or brown person. And 15 police killings a year cross country. White ppl kill more white ppl as well. Although, interestingly enough when I was 13 my mother was beaten to death by black men in a rural NC town, and they got away with it woth the help of the police. Because they redistribute drugs for dirty cops. Thats how the fuck I can see things the way I see them. My Mama's color and female status didn't stop her from being murdered. Their poc and male status didn't put them in jail. Not everything is black and white.
You were at least trying to be logical a month ago. You're in your feelings right now and being a bitch. Step back and remember what you used to tell everyone. Look at policy and FACT. There is no part of the gov that can be changed by Trump that would allow races and lgbtqia to be harmed (although that's subjective. Feelings don't count). And reproductive rights were tasked by the supreme court. He can't touch those either.
I am so terribly sorry to hear about your mother's tragic death. That is horrible and must have been awful for you to go through at such a young age.
Jamie, sadly my whole childhood was rough. Well under the poverty line, we had an out house, sketch power ect. I'm only 37. So I grew up poor 1930 tho sort of. My mom sadly was a little manic bipolar and an alcoholic. She def had herself in ununsafe positions in her manic episodes. But it was a lot to get around mentally. Cause there is the narrative that this doesn't happen to white ppl. So it was a whole thing. My rough childhood actually helped me mentally deal with her passing. I have her ashes in my home. I have closure ect. But it does inform how I see race relations. I can honestly admit that openly. Her color and sex didn't shield her or my family.
So you don’t know. Cool.
You are wrong about the number of killings by police. Besides that, police kill civilians in their own homes, or abuse them openly. I’m not talking about what is legal. I’m talking about what people get away with.
Calling me a “bitch” for asking you a pointed question speaks to your own feelings, not mine.
Kw I do know actually. Since I was the victim of a violent hate crime as mentioned above. But again, that doesn't fit your narrative of victim victim I guess. If white men murdered your mother and got away with it we would have to sing a different tune because you're a poc. But it happening to a white woman isn't good enough to appropriately understand race relations in regards to violence I guess.
You are being a bitch. In the whole thread. You're talking about empathy and everyone understanding your plight. And seeing your pain, your communities pain (which, I ironically do, but its hard to communicate with anyone being so angry)...but you're being so ugly to everyone. All the while over half of this nation just said they're tired of the identity politics and whining and PC shit. You were so smug a month ago. So sure Kamala was the great savior. But at least you were able to have some discourse and conversation with people in a different way. The results made you feel shit and you are taking it out on a comment section on sub stack.
I’m not a POC, I’m not sure where you got that idea.
I’m sorry your mother was the victim of a crime. Your story doesn’t magically mean Black people are the enemy in every case, nor does it absolve the police of their crimes.
Kw I assumed you were by the way you went hard at me being neither in the community or poc. How the fuck would I know anything ect.
Ya I know my mom's story gives a gray area. That's why I shared it. Not everyone in the LGBTqia community or poc community are the only ones neg affected by police/gov ect. And in my case the poc were the protected ones instead of the white person. There are a ton of morally gray areas. And it feels polarizing to you in diff ways than me. I don't Harbor I'll will towards all poc or police. But it does give me pause and question things more. Which is what I was trying to say.
I selfishly say Trump is better for my personal life. My husband's retirement will go more smoothly from the usmc, home buying is going to be a different scenario, va loans are shifting ect. But that doesn't mean I want bad for other ppl. I think there are more ppl like me then most liberals can see. But it's the polarizing of the left and right arguments.

I would love to hear facts about how you are in danger under Trump, or how you were endangered by Trump when he was previously President.
I’m a woman of child bearing age. If a man decides to exert his will over me, I’m SOL in many states.
I’m a queer woman. The violence against queer people increased dramatically under Trump.
I have trans friends and family. Trump empowers people to hate anyone who’s different from them. Their rights are being stripped in FL.
Empathy is important and being unable to understand how electing a bully empowers people to hate is really key, here. Y’all are being told the left hates you. We don’t. We just want to live our lives freely, as you do.
Kw that's now how that works. You're blaming Trump for issues that the Supreme Court decided. You do NOT HAVE A RIGHT to an abortion. The courts decided that. Not the President. Abortion for rape, incest and medical make up less than one percent of abortions as well. If a state has a zero tolerance policy, planned parenthood buses individuals to other states. That's legal, and their right to do so.
Poc aren't killed by Police at a rate more than 15 a year all over the nation. That's a fact. Police actually kill more whites then any other race. Whites are more likely to be on hard drugs and hard alcalcohol causing them to attack police. I didn't mention abuse by police, although a black Harvard professor just proved with multiple double blind studies that police don't abuse poc at a higher rate in traffic stops ect. But ya, these stats are correct, but they don'tfit a dem scare tactic.
You are in your feelings because you're only seeing YOUR plight. You're a queer woman and you're bathed more in the lqbtqia community then you are with regular people in your personal time because of your orientation, which is fine becausethats your personal time. Over 80% of the population doesn't want trans in bathrooms or women's sports. But there are not lqbtqia individuals being murdered or physically harmed in America at the rates youre claiming. There is no statistic that can appropriately measure that compared to other crimes other then acts of violence as a hate crime. Those are listed on police reports And they don't show the numbers where you say they were and are abused and hated.
Who appointed the SCOTUS who decided, Samantha? Trump has bragged that *he* ended Roe V Wade. It’s a platform Republicans have held onto for decades now. The three SCOTUS judges he appointed his first term all lied in their confirmation hearings and said they wouldn’t overturn Roe and considered it precedent.
You are assuming a whole lot about my personal life. I don’t segregate my friends by their sexual orientation, and I’m not sure where you get your data but your info on trans people (not “trans”) is incorrect. Most Americans DGAF. The GOP invented an issue and y’all fell for it hook, line, and sinker.
The police don’t report on their own violence, btw. Imagine thinking the guilty party would do that. There’s what’s called a “blue wall” among officers. Abuse goes unreported (and officers who report it are ostracized).
Kw row v wade being overturned does not stop abortion. It moves it out if the governmental hands. He can appoint who ever he wants to appoint. If they gain access to the courts then that is out of our hands. The fact still remains that it's not an abortion ban. He does not have the power to give an abortion ban. No one does. Unless state by state that passes. And it never will. Yall fell for the hook line and sinker of that lie.
I didn't say you segregated your friends by sex or orientation. But by default I have more hetero friends and outside of work ppl. Because I'm in a hetero relationship. Same goes for other demographics.
I understand more than you the blue wall. Ans how cops can hide anything they want. But in large dem cities that not usually the case. The numbers can be argued all day. But it's not as inflated as you are saying they are. And you can then come back to me and say they're not as low.
Why are you so angry? Honest question.
KF she wasn't this angry a month ago. Snippy and a smart ass. Assuming she was way smarter then everyone else. Sort of how all the main stream news is calling all of middle America uneducated, non college graduates (which is hilarious cause I am SAHM mom, homeschool ect. And I have multiple degrees for fun lol I'm not in the work force cause I don't have to be). They can't fathom that smart ppl would vote red. And for Trump especially. But popular vote and electoral were red. So rare, so that means they should probably all take a step back and think on why so many ppl voted against her, the party ect. So KW is in her feelings, where usually she's just snippy and wants to rurumble in a comment section.
Got it. Hopefully they start to wake up to fake news and the lies the DNC spread so they could continue to reap in the $$$ and oppress the rest of us.
Kf I'm selfish in this end of things. My husband is ucmc and his 20yr retirement will be under a rep. That's the best news for me personally. His retirement will be exponentially more streamline. But more then that. I'm neither left or right. In the middle on some things, right on others ect. But I was SHOCKED no one was upset that she was placed. She didn't have to run. Even Hilary had to run, and held her own. As much as I loathe her because of her military policies, she at least held her own in the polls and running.
That’s a lot of projection. I’m not “in my feelings” at all, you keep slinging ad hominem as if that’s helpful. It’s not.
I’m not angry, I’m confused at how many adults need to have empathy explained to them. I was taught empathy by my conservative parents and it seems to have disappeared on the right.
I disagree.
What do you disagree with? I made several statements.
You, your team/family, and Link have so much to do with this win. I shudder to think of how it would have gone without you. Thank you all for what you've done. My daughter prayed with her 2 young sons yesterday (the oldest will be 5 on the 14th). When I got there yesterday Jameson, the oldest, said "We prayed for the President with Mommy. Can we pray with you too?" My daughter does not pray with her children. Not out loud at least. That made a huge impact on my precious grandson. He knows prayer works - we just have to hope he soon realizes it's not "magic" so he will not get new Monster Trucks on a whim! God has blessed us with you all Jessica. Thank you. As my daughter told her boys "You now have a great future."
you prayed for that? what do you tell your daughters about telling the truth? about maturity and responsibility? about decency? look i understand you're excited that your candidate won, i just don't know how to reconcile all this excitement with the truth about what your candidate is. plain as day. he's a liar, sociopath, has no insight or maturity or decency - and you're teaching your children to pray for him, but also tell them to tell the truth and be kind to others? i wish i understood better how you square such opposites with each other. no hate here, just sadness that this is the new standard and that children are learning this. don't lie - but your president can do it. don't be unkind - but your president can be cruel and inhumane. i truly wish we could all discuss this without anger. i want to understand.
Take a look at your party and recognize where they’ve fallen short. Lies and name-calling dominated the narrative as they pushed the sitting president out and installed "their" choice—without a primary and without the voice of the people.
Do you truly appreciate your tax dollars funding illegal immigration while providing better housing, food, and phones to them, rather than our own citizens? Meanwhile, our veterans are left sleeping on the streets. Our citizens are in desperate need of assistance, and our schools are crying out for a much-needed overhaul. The reality is that the schools in poorer neighborhoods are severely lacking. If my kids want an affordable home, they’re faced with schools that rank at a dismal 2! That is simply unacceptable in the United States!
We should be striving for the best education possible. Instead, we're allowing harmful dyes and unneeded ingredients to poison our children and adults alike. It’s unacceptable for our youth to struggle with health issues, including prediabetes, dependence on ADD medications, or depression. There’s a significant amount of work to be done, and it’s been stated time and time again that Democrats have held power for 12 of the last 16 years without addressing any of these critical issues. It’s time for change!
I actually feel sad for you that you have believed everything the MSM has fed you. You realize that the MSM uses fear as a tactic to gain power over people. They can get others to believe that someone like Trump is a monster. Fortunately, there are Americans who have actually listened to Trump's entire speeches instead of listening to clipped comments on the MSM. Trump is the opposite of Hitler. How anyone could think that Trump is compared to Hitler is farcical. As for women's healthcare, it has nothing to do with Trump. That is a lie that the Liberal media has spouted over and over to instill fear in people. It is the Supreme Court that put the power of abortion rights into the people of each state, which is how the forefathers set the Constitution up in the first place. It should have never been a decision made at the Federal level. Trump has said over and over that he is not against abortion. He has no desire to have any say over abortion rights. He has said over and over that it is up to the people of each state. You have also been fed a false narrative about how women who are in danger of their lives will be forced to give birth. That is crap! If a woman's life is in danger then she can choose to abort the baby or not. It really sickens me how the Left twists everything to make people fear. They also make it sound like Trump is some dictator that can wave a wand and decide that abortion is banned from the entire country. That is not how the Constitution is set up! Trump actually has nothing to do with what each state decides. He has nothing to do with it!!!!! He believes that the choice is up to each state because he follows the Constitution.
You have been fed a bunch of lies to make you scared. You should have listened and followed more than just the Liberal news media that want to scare people into voting for their candidate. Nothing they have fed you is true! Trump's own wife has stated that she is for women's rights to choose. Trump has never, not once, said he is against abortion!
As for Trump being a racist and a rapist and blah blah blah. It's not true. Every black person who has ever worked for Trump loves him. Trump gives his own money to those in need without touting his own horn. There are stories that have come out of Trump paying off people's mortgages just because they helped him when his car broke down. The black people who have worked for him have come out and said that Trump has never been racist towards anyone. Trump dated black women back in the day for heavens sake! You are listening to the lies that have been fed to you. The issue is you truly have Trump Derangement Syndrome. Most of us have woken up to the fact that the Liberals absolutely loved Trump until he was elected president. Why do they hate him so much? Because they can't control him. He is not a puppet. He is not a politician. He will call out people's corruption. So what did the Left do? They accuse him of things that they actually have done. It's disgusting. Trump loves America. He loves the American people. He fights for the little guy. And here is a fact....Black communities and minorities were better off when Trump was president than any other president in history. The employment rate skyrocketed and minorities were thriving. In less than a year the Biden/Harris administration ruined all of it. You truly need to look at facts and stop listening to the lying rhetoric that has made Trump look like Satan himself. It is disgusting how the MSM and the Left elitists have divided Americans. They will lie and do anything to try and bring down Trump even though our country was thriving when he was president. If you do not want to listen to how Americans are celebrating because we know life is about to get better, then unfollow House In Habit! Everyone here knows that you have TDS and that you have fed into all the lies that you now think is fact. It's truly sad that something said over and over will make people believe it.
Eloquently stated!
Thank you so much for saying all of this so I don't have to :)
First- people pray for many people, good and bad. Where do you get your information from that you believe it to be 100 % truth? Second, you say you want to understand, but you are coming off sounding very angry. Third, you don't think that Harris or Biden lied or are decent? You call Trump a sociopath- how do you know this?
Please provide context with accusations. If you believe in The Almighty you should pray for whoever our "leader" is, that in their leadership they'll lead in a way that draws US closer together, for our safety and as is possible peace in the world.
Do you pray for Biden?
You ask a good question. I don't know about RLB, but I'm a Republican and I've prayed for Biden, Kamala, and all our leaders. Because wanting our leadership to fail is like being on a plane and wanting the pilot to crash.
No hate here? No, just anger, bitterness and jealousy.
shame on you who congratulate one another while children in our rich nation die from hunger, where the reading levels of kids in many neighborhoods drags behind most post modern societies, where an ignorant, narcissistic poser will do anything and everything to feel powerful. This, alongside his impulsive, unbridled, ourrageous behavior IN PUBLIC. This is the man we choose to protect us from tyranny, from violence? Those of you safe in your homes, with your big bedrooms, your fancy drinks, your beautiful china; Those who are comfortable in thier quiet little houses, with grass growing well in the backyard; Folks are homeless, schools are falling apart in forgotten neighborhoods--chipped paint filled with lead is eaten by kids because they are hungry. Their brains are beling poisoned. . Many school aged kids cannot read properly in middle school. How can anyone boast their "great future" when too many are left behind? How can we rejoice in a win that neglects large segments of our people, where rules or laws are frought with racism, self interest, disaffection. How, may I ask to poster below, is this like Christmas?
Again with emphasis: Democrats have been in charge for 12 of the last 16 years. What are we missing?
No Child Left Behind was a Bush 2 policy.
You realize there was no war for the first time in forever when Trump was president? Do you realize that children were safer when Trump was president? You really need to stop listening to the Liberal MSM and look at facts. Also, crime has skyrocketed since Biden/Harris came into office. I love how the Liberal media says, "Crime is down." Uhhh, ya it is down from when it was at it's highest with Biden/Harris, but it is still way higher than when Trump was in office. You hear things on the MSM over and over and you believe it. Other countries respected Trump. No one would mess with America when Trump was president. We weren't paying billions of tax dollar money to fight other countries wars while our own Americans are living in devastation with no help from our government. Instead of listening to the Liberal media, maybe open your mind to why so many people like Trump. Do you really believe that half of our country would vote for a racist, misogynistic, rapist president? Do you really believe that you know the truth and that we are all uneducated and dumb? It is dumbfounding to me that Liberals truly believe that crap! Did you know that Republicans give more to the needy than Liberals? That is called charity and love for others! Taxes are forced. It is not charity. It is not given out of the goodness of someone's heart. Money out of someone's pocket and time helping others in need is called charity. And Republicans are the ones that give most to those in need. The Liberals paint us out to be hateful, bigoted, racist, and uneducated. It is false. It is a false narrative they want you to believe because they want you to continue to believe everything they say. Wake up! Half of the USA would not vote for a rapist, racist, bigoted, misogynistic person to run our country. We are the ones that look at facts and actually listen to everything Trump says and more importantly his actions! Actions always speak louder than words! Obama was a smooth talker, but he was a sly snake!
We were in still Afghanistan while Trump was in office.
And that’s Trump’s fault? Who has been in office for 12 of the past 16 years? Good Lord, do you use common sense before you type?
and he won because people think the economy is in the toilet. they feel badly about the economy. and trump lies about how he will help people while he steals from them, while they pray for his success - in grifting from them. it's a great gig if he can get it - distract them while he can take from them and they thank him and even pray for him. and have lavish parties while they complain about the economy. or maybe it's just they want to pay lower taxes and keep more so they can buy more for themselves and party harder. i dunno. wish i understood and could have a civil discussion with a maga person about it. we should be able to discuss with each other. feel like i'm missing something.
Do you pay a grocery bill? Buy gas? Receive services from anywhere? Have those costs gone up or down?
They’ve gone up globally. Not sure if you heard but we had a pandemic, and major corporations decided they liked charging more so they kept doing it.
Oh get a grip.
You asked if prices have gone up. I told you why. Your response is “get a grip”? What does that even mean?
Context? Examples? Something besides rhetoric parroting please.
Let’s get school choice for parents and overhaul the education system. It’s a shot show and we’re failing our country by not educating our public school kids!
The answer is better pay for teachers, not school choice.
You don't know this woman but you are judging her for praying? No one mentioned Christmas. How do you know they own a home?
I hope you take a long break! Please go get a massage xo
Agreed, I hope you take a long break and I also can't wait to follow your next journey as you bring us into the next era!
Also just how delightful is Tulsi and her man singing together
FEMA just sent Kamala a check for $750.00, DisAsster Relief.
Hahaha!
Thank you for all your coverage on this journey. I love Tulsi and her hubbys happy song celebration! I didn’t know she sang! Totally aloha.
So glad you can get some rest and time with your family. I’ll be awaiting your return! ♥️
Yes!!! The song was great!
Thanks Jess for all that you do! What a breathe of fresh air to read real news…take a break and come back refreshed! This movement just got started! MAGA MAHA MOM
What a wild ride. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you ❤️
What. A. Night!!!!!! Today feels like the greatest Christmas morning ever. I’m so grateful for all of your reporting. It’s just so incredible how you brought us along the journey of Bobby and Donnie. And then together. It was fate. How lucky we all are!!!
