1. Lawfare proved impotent in taking out a candidate.
In fact, every new iteration of lawfare dug the losing hole deeper. All of the accusations, show trials, and prosecutorial misconduct were for naught. For the cases that remain open, the next 75 days will be interesting.
2. Name-calling lost.
Almost every political slur possible was thrown at now-President-elect Trump, and none of them stuck. Name-calling only works if true.
3. Celebrity endorsements lost.
Influencers did not influence.
4. Basement campaigns lost.
It has been shown that avoiding the media and hiding from interviews and public appearances is not a winning strategy.
5. Ballot manipulation and voting irregularities lost.
We now know that with the right candidate and message, we can outvote cheating. That is huge. Large numbers of conservatives voted early and stymied the Democrat’s ability to plan how many late votes were needed.
6. The fear of battling voting irregularities in real time lost.
We learned that a massive team of lawyers working as the problems occur before voting is over can prevent or turn back many of the techniques used to suppress voters or enhance the counting of ineligible votes.
7. Bypassing the electoral process lost.
Kicking a weak candidate to the curb while selecting a replacement without a single vote from anyone except insiders has been shown to be a failure.
8. Threats of violence lost.
Both the threats of showing support for the wrong candidate and the threat of burning cities if people chose the wrong candidate did not work and may have helped the eventual winner. Attempted assassinations only emboldened the winning candidate and his supporters.
9. Lies lost.
The economy is not great. The border is not secure. Crime is not down. January 6 was not an insurrection. President Trump will not be a dictator, nor will he put his opposition in jail. There is not enough room here for all of the lies.
10. Two tiers of justice lost.
Excusing lawlessness by Democrats and while having a politicized Department of Justice maliciously prosecute Republicans was not enough to swing the election.
Speaking at the WEF, Savor CEO Kathleen Alexander boasts about how her company is "saving the planet" from the evils of agriculture by replacing real butters and oils with synthetic versions made from carbon dioxide and methane. 😳
"Savor is part of bringing transformation to the food system by re-imagining how we make an entire macronutrient—fats and oils."
"The result is that we can dramatically lower the planetary footprint of our food system."
"Our food system today uses about 50% of the habitable land on the planet. It's 20-30% of our greenhouse gas emissions."
"And we can reduce all of those by 50-100%."

🇮🇷🏆🇺🇸 Iran Is a Bigger Defeat Than Vietnam | Foreign Policy
At his second inaugural, U.S. President Donald Trump pronounced his hope “that our recent presidential election will be remembered as the greatest and most consequential election in the history of our country.” By losing his Gulf war, Trump has achieved that goal. His choice to launch a campaign against Iran was encouraged by others, but fully his own. It has led to a reversal that marks a strategic calamity far greater than the U.S. defeat in the Vietnam War.
Defeat in the Iranian war looks, on the surface, nothing like other U.S. military defeats. The speed of the war and its remoteness have lent an air of unreality to the whole endeavor. The White House has not been burned, as it was in 1814; there have not been protests against a nonexistent draft. The absence of substantial U.S. casualties in this conflict also masks the scale of the U.S. defeat. To be sure, the war has been deadly: Thousands of Iranians, ...
According to The Wall Street Journal, Donald Trump reviewed military options for a full-scale war against Iran to “finish the job,” but has decided, for now, not to move forward.
The report says Trump is concerned that renewed military conflict could hurt the chances of a diplomatic resolution and of dismantling Iran’s nuclear program, and that he’s shown willingness to let indirect talks in Qatar run past the August 18 deadline. He is said to be fine with continuing limited strikes on Iranian targets if Tehran violates the current temporary deal - as it already has, repeatedly.
How are those negotiations going?
Not well. It seems JD Vance’s “historic” face-to-face achievement was a one-off. Washington has been quietly downgraded from talking to the Great Satan to negotiating with the Little Satan instead - a senior Qatari official confirmed that U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met Qatari officials in Doha, but there are currently no high-level U.S.-Iran meetings ...
