It’s Official: Trump Wins
Members of the Electoral College met yesterday to cast their votes for president and vice president. Donald Trump won the vote 312 to 226.
As you may recall from high school or college civics classes, the November popular vote does not formally elect the president. It does, however, decide a slate of electors, individuals chosen by the state political parties. The electors pledge to vote for the presidential candidate who wins the popular vote in each state.
The electors meet in mid-December, but not in one place. They meet in their respective state capitals to formally cast their votes for president and vice president. So, the Electoral College is really a process and not a place.
This year’s Electoral College vote got very little attention, as is normally the case. It was a stark contrast to what happened after the 2016 election when the radical left went nuts.
Hillary Clinton supporters waged an unprecedented campaign to intimidate state electors, desperately trying to force them to change their votes and elect Hillary instead of Donald Trump.
The home addresses and phone numbers of the electors were published online. They were subjected to daily harassment and vile insults. Some even got death threats.
While the effort failed, one result of the left’s bitter attempt to deny Trump the presidency was a 9 to 0 Supreme Court ruling that states could punish “faithless electors” who break their pledge to support the winning candidate.
Of course, the left is still bitter. Even as New York’s electors were meeting to cast their votes, Gov. Kathy Hochul called for the Electoral College to be abolished. And she’s not alone. Senate Democrats introduced a constitutional amendment this week to end the Electoral College.
Left-wing Lunacy
We reported last week that conservatives scored some important victories in the 2025 National Defense Authorization Act. One of those victories was protecting the children of military service members from sterilizing drugs and disfiguring surgeries.
This wasn’t a minor issue in the last campaign, and the public overwhelmingly opposes mutilating children. So, you’d think Democrats might think twice about continuing to promote it. But you’d be wrong.
Nearly 60% of House Democrats opposed the defense bill because of this issue. Some leftists in Congress have suggested that without the ability of service members to mutilate the bodies of their children, at taxpayer expense, we cannot possibly deploy a military that can successfully fight a war.
Yes, they are that insane.
Today, two dozen Senate liberals launched a last-ditch effort to repeal the commonsense provision protecting children from these radical medical experiments. Thankfully, they failed.
But any hope that the election results may have cured the raging Marxism and nihilism in the modern left is a vain hope.
