JD Vance won't even take office to be the next vice president of America until January.

But he's already "opened as the betting favorite to win the White House in four years."

That's according to SportsBettingDime, which already released its estimates for the NEXT presidential election. One of the reasons for his high placement is the fact that President Donald Trump will be in his second term, albeit non-consecutive, and he cannot run for a third term in that year.

The organization's chart cites JD Vance as plus-300 odds for the election.

This year's Democrat candidate, Kamala Harris, essentially is dismissed as a factor, coming in 10th at plus 2,500, a score also held by former United States U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley and entertainer Oprah Winfrey.

Ranked higher than those three are Michelle Obama, Gavin Newsom, Ron DeSantis, Tulsi Gabbard, perennial wannabe Hillary Clinton, and commentator Tucker Carlson. In that order.

Following were Josh Shapiro, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Vivek Ramaswamy, Donald Trump Jr., Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Doug Burgum, Elon Musk, Gretchen Whitmer, Ivanka Trump, Tim Walz, Dwayne Johnson, Elizabeth Warren, Glenn Youngkin, JB Pritzker.

It was at that point that Liz Cheney, the Republican representative tossed by her own voters over her war against President Trump, made an appearance, followed only in the rankings by Mark Kelly.

The organization reported a "serious leadership vacuum" after Harris' catastrophic loss to President Trump, in a 312-226 landslide.

"That's evidenced by the fact that the Democrat with the best odds to win the 2028 election, former First Lady Michelle Obama, has never held, or even run for public office," the report said.

Newsom comes in there, but "then there's a steep drop-off to failed 2016 candidate Hillary Clinton (+1400), talk-show host Oprah Winfrey, who would presumably run for the Dems, and Harris (both +2500)," it explained.

Jack Smith was plucked by the Biden-Harris administration out of the field of private legal work and made, suddenly and without congressional confirmation, a "special counsel" to run part of the Democrats' lawfare campaign against President Trump.

He ended up bringing multiple legal claims against Trump and others, including a stunt that included the FBI's SWAT raid on Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in which officers reportedly rifled through the personal possessions of Melania Trump.

But he now has a problem, in that Trump is the president-elect.

Those cases are expected to vanish at some point when the pathway to that result is determined.

But there's a signal lack of trust in the ranks of Congress that the organization Smith has set up to attack Trump will be forthcoming with all of the information it has used, so he's being told by Congress to save and protect everything.

It is House Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., who leads the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight, who have written to Smith demanding his office preserve all records surrounding the Biden-Harris administration's politicized prosecutions of Trump.

They previously had submitted to-date unfulfilled requests for information from Smith.

They now have repeated those requests for documents and communications "relating to meetings between FBI and Justice Department officials sent to or received by Jack Smith prior to the execution of the search warrant on President Trump's private residence."

They also want documents and communications referring or relating to the hiring and selection of current and former Office of Special Counsel staff members and the same regarding the "Office of Special Counsel, the Office of the Attorney General, or the Office of the Deputy Attorney General referring or relating to the investigation and prosecution of President Donald Trump."

"The Committee on the Judiciary is continuing its oversight of the Department of Justice and the Office of Special Counsel. According to recent public reports, prosecutors in your office have been 'gaming out legal options' if President Donald Trump won the election. With President Trump's decisive victory, this Counsel may attempt to purge relevant records, communications, and documents responsive to our numerous requests for information. The Office of Special Counsel is not immune from transparency or above accountability for its actions," the letter warned.

"This letter serves as a formal request to preserve all existing and future records and materials related to the Office of Special Counsel's investigations and prosecutions of President Trump. You should construe this preservation notice as an instruction to take all reasonable steps to prevent the destruction or alteration, whether intentionally or negligently, of all documents, communications, and other information, including electronic information and metadata, that are or may be responsive to this congressional inquiry. This instruction includes all electronic messages sent using official and personal accounts or devices, including records created using text messages, phone-based message applications, or encryption software."

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (R-HI) said she was happy to "play a small part" in helping former President Donald Trump get elected president this week, Breitbart reported. Gabbard, previously a Democrat, became a Republican in October and joined Trump on the campaign trail.

During the 2020 presidential election, Gabbard ran as a Democrat against the crowded field. By August of this year, she endorsed Trump as a president who didn't "start any new wars" and "took action to de-escalate and prevent wars."

On Wednesday, Gabbard gushed about her experience campaigning with Trump. She accompanied the heartfelt words on her post to X, formerly Twitter, with a photo of the two smiling together at one of his rallies.

A Grateful Ally

Gabbard thanked the president-elect for the opportunity to help him on his way to victory. "I offer my heartfelt thanks and aloha to President Donald Trump for allowing me to play a small part in his victorious campaign to Make America Great Again," she began in her post.

"It has been a great honor and privilege to get to know @realDonaldTrump, a kind and courageous person who sincerely desires the best for the American people — and indeed for all the people in the world. It is my great hope that the American people will loudly condemn any efforts by those who did everything they could to sabotage his previous presidency to try and do it again," Gabbard added.

In October, Fox News reported that Gabbard had joined Trump on stage in Greensboro, North Carolina, to cement her link to Trump and the GOP. "I'm proud to stand here with you today, President Trump, and announce that I'm joining the Republican Party," she announced from the stage.

"I am joining the party of the people," she added. Perhaps Tulsi's decision to make that announcement in the swing state helped push Trump over the edge.

As of Thursday evening, the New York Times reported that Trump won North Carolina by 200,000 votes. Having a former Democrat switch parties and endorse him was potentially a powerful deciding factor for many voters.

Destroying Harris

Although the 2024 election was Gabbard's first time officially campaigning for Trump, she indirectly helped him eventually beat Vice President Kamala Harris by reminding the public of her record during the Democratic primary of 2020. Gabbard went after Harris and effectively ended her first presidential run, which almost certainly impacted her second as Harris was shown to be dishonest.

While debating Harris, Gabbard delivered what would be the kill shot to the then-senator's presidential hopes. "Senator Harris says she’s proud of her record as a prosecutor and that she’ll be a prosecutor president," Gabbard began, according to CNN.

"But I’m deeply concerned about this record. There are too many examples to cite, but she put over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana," the then-Democratic senator went on.

“She blocked evidence – she blocked evidence that would have freed an innocent man from death row until the courts forced her to do so. She kept people in prison beyond their sentences to use them as cheap labor for the state of California," Gabbard charged.

There's no doubt that Gabbard's remarks about Harris reverberated through to the 2024 campaign. Now, she gets to bask in the afterglow of a Trump victory that was made possible in part to her help.

Read Hanne's The Herland Report.

A saint is someone who gives up his own life to serve others. He leaves behind a comfortable, secure life because of a specific calling from God that he chooses to accept, even if he knows it will catapult him into the Colosseum amphitheater of hardship, the circus where the roaring lions are waiting to devour him.

Donald Trump, so successful and wealthy, could have lived the rest of his life comfortably at the national historic landmark in Florida, Mar-a-Lago, enjoying golf and famous friends in a welcoming environment, traveling the world on expensive yachts. It would have been the epitaph of his successful life, with graceful Melania by his side.

Yet, while watching American society deteriorate, watching the corporate elite increasingly gaining control over the political establishment, assembling wealth into their own hands at the expense of the regular American worker; watching the hatred grow against the United States and its endless wars internationally, multi-polarism rising as a consequence of injustice and horrible political U.S. leadership, Donald Trump must have concluded that he was willing to lose it all in an attempt to save America from its downward spiral of corruption and greed.

The history of saints shows us the people we should admire, with qualities we should copy, since they demonstrate selflessness, strength, and obedience in taking up their cross in order to walk into the arena of wild beasts. With an exceptional degree of closeness to God, their desire is to alleviate pain, help the suffering, and mend the broken.

Yet, the saints in history were marked by imperfection. Some were former warlords and army generals, others were thieves or harlots, but they made their mark by giving it all up to attain holiness. They were willing to endure persecution, being lied about, scorned, and belittled. Many of them were killed, publicly flogged, their properties expropriated by evil emperors, or, as in the Soviet Union, by the Communist elite that tolerated no freedom of speech or opinions that differed from the atheist state narrative that permeated the propaganda media structures.

Donald Trump has become the most demonized president in U.S. history, yet now enjoys a historic comeback that will resound in the decades to come. To quote the Daily Mail, "he's been shot, sued, put on trial, written off and endlessly branded a fascist," yet "Donald Trump's resounding U.S. election victory is far more comprehensive than anyone had predicted, as he rode a wave of support from black and Latino voters to retake the White House. Donald Trump has defied his critics to crush his opponents once more."

So, what has been the main driving force behind the immense demonization of Trump? As many now comprehend, he instantly became enemy No. 1 to the established globalist elite who own the media and most of corporate America when he launched a massive attack on their growing empire. As I have pointed out in my book, "Trump. The Battle for America," this economic elite has since the 1980s profited from the outsourcing of jobs and wealth to Communist China and the ultra-rich – all at the expense of the regular American worker.

Over 90% of the U.S. media is now monopolized into only six corporations with an interest in the development of a globalist, transnational economic system that profits from the lack of national sovereignty. The globalist business model is dependent on weak nation-states that may be overrun by global corporations, crushing the middle class and local businesses.

And globalism has worked, it has reinforced an international economic model that departs from the nation-based capitalist system. It benefits the ultra-rich on an unprecedented scale.

Globalism has produced a system in which a few individuals now own most of the world's assets, made possible by its refusal to redistribute wealth when outsourcing jobs to cheap labor countries. This system depends on the open border strategy, which gives access to cheap labor and pushes down the minimum wage level; while the corporations are registered in tax havens and therefore have no tax burden to any specific country.

So, when President Joe Biden chose to label Trump's millions of supporters the "only garbage I see floating out there," he demonstrated contempt for precisely the regular workers and everyday citizens who suffer from the globalist takeover.

It is deeply problematic that the mainstream media, owned by these elitist corporations, has become a propaganda smoke screen that completely disguises these real driving forces that cause injustice and cultural deterioration in the West. With Trumpism triumphant, many now hope for a more just world and a better future.

Israel/Middle East Brief

Judea and Samaria residents 'euphoric' over Trump victory

Donald Trump's victory in Tuesday night's election was cheered across much of Judea and Samaria, as local leaders and residents assess his presence in the White House will enable Jewish sovereignty over the land.

Election officials in the swing state of Arizona have restored thousands of people without verified citizenship to the voter rolls after a glitch exposed up to 218,000 who registered without proof.

Once the glitch was found, officials in Maricopa County last month contacted voters individually to give them an opportunity to provide proof. But then the decision was made to waive the requirement, Fox News reported.

Swing state restores registrations

"However, after further consideration, the decision was made to fully restore those voters from the not registered status, only if they were previously an existing, registered voter," Maricopa County Recorder's office told Fox News.

"Additionally, we know roughly 2,000 voters who were impacted in the MVD data oversight submitted voter registration updates and some of those may have been contacted about providing DPOC," the statement read.

"But since then, regardless of if they have provided that additional information, they have since been restored their original status for this election."

Arizona requires proof of citizenship to vote in state and local elections, but voters who lack proof and swear that they are citizens can vote "federal only," meaning only for U.S. president and Congress.

List must be released

The Arizona Court of Appeals has ordered the state to release the full list of 218,000 voters, over the objections of Democratic Secretary of State Adrian Fontes.

The court found that Fontes had given "inconsistent" testimony about his office's records, after he claimed that only a partial list of 98,000 voters existed.

The push for the records came from America First Legal, a conservative watchdog founded by Trump adviser Stephen Miller. Fontes has claimed sharing the list would lead to partisan intimidation.

"I’ll tell you exactly what I think these folks are planning. I think they are planning on going after voters that they politically disagree with. I think they're planning on knocking on their doors and trying to intimidate them out of voting. I mean these folks, these folks are shameless in their legal efforts. They believe that their right to investigate and harass voters is more important than their right to actually cast a ballot," Fontes said.

Last month, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled that 98,000 voters impacted by the glitch should be able to cast full ballots, citing the short notice.

Maricopa County is the most populated in Arizona, containing about 62% of the state's population. President Biden flipped Arizona to the Democrats in 2020 by just 10,000 votes.

The nation of Canada is mourning the death of former senator, judge, and indigenous people's advocate Murray Sinclair. He was 73.

Sinclair played a prominent role in Canadian history as the leader of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which studied the controversial residential schools that assimilated indigenous children into Western culture.

Canadian leader dies

Prime minister Justin Trudeau credited Sinclair with shining a light on the "darkest parts of our history."

"He challenged us to confront the darkest parts of our history -- because he believed we could learn from them, and be better for it," Trudeau wrote.

Born on an Indian reserve in Manitoba, Sinclair studied law and became the first indigenous judge in the province.

As leader of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Sinclair released the bombshell report in 2015 that concluded Canada inflicted a "cultural genocide" on indigenous tribes through the residential school system.

The network of government-run boarding schools, operating for over a century until 1996, converted indigenous children to Christianity and forced them to abandon their native tongues for English and French.

"Education is the key to reconciliation," Sinclair said. "Education got us into this mess and education will get us out of it."

Died peacefully

After the Truth and Reconciliation Commission dissolved in 2015, Sinclair was appointed a senator for Manitoba the following year. He retired in 2021.

Over the course of his life, Sinclair received many honors for his indigenous advocacy, including the Meritorious Service Cross. Sinclair recently released a memoir in which he urged Canada to take accountability for its past.

"We know that making things better will not happen overnight. It will take generations. That's how the damage was created and that's how the damage will be fixed," Sinclair wrote.

After years of declining health, the father of five died peacefully at a hospital in Winnipeg on Monday, his family said.

"Mazina Giizhik (the One Who Speaks of Pictures in the Sky) committed his life in service to the people: creating change, revealing truth, and leading with fairness throughout his career," his family said in a statement, referring to Sinclair by his native name.

In the final hours of the 2024 election cycle, MSNBC is still engaged in its trademark promotion of far-left narratives that are the diametric opposite of reality.

Ja'han Jones, a regular at the cable network, penned a story headlined "Trump's incoherent campaign message on guns."

"Trump is ending his campaign," the story starts, "having never resolved his incoherent stance on access to guns. In a new ad, Trump falsely claims Vice President Kamala Harris wants to confiscate guns. Harris has said no such thing; she's even discussed the fact she is a legal gun owner, which Trump – given his felony convictions – is not."

In reality, far from Harris saying "no such thing," as WND reported Monday a now-viral video reveals Harris confirming that she would indeed be willing and indeed eager to override the Second Amendment if she wins the election.

Posted on X personally by the social media platform's owner, Elon Musk, Harris is heard telling reporters that if Congress fails to do something about gun control within the first 100 days of her administration, then she will "take executive action."

"I think it's a great idea," says Harris, "but I mean listen, I don't think we lack for great ideas, as I've said many times, we've been having great ideas for decades, the problem is Congress has not had the courage to act. That is why from the beginning I have said, my agenda includes attempting to get Congress to act, but if they don't in the first 100 days of my administration, I'm gonna take executive action. What we need is action."

Comments Musk, "She wants to break the Constitution."

Meanwhile, Jones, who has previously warned on MSNBC that "It's becoming increasingly clear that the United States is under siege by Christian fundamentalists and traditionalists," continues in this latest report: "The irony here is that there is a candidate in this race who's promoted gun confiscation – and it's Trump. As I wrote in August, Trump openly promoted the idea of taking people's guns during a Fox News appearance in which he suggested bringing back stop-and-frisk policing policies that have disproportionately violated the civil rights of people of color in urban communities."

In fact, however, "stop and frisk" is a time-honored police practice that has saved countless lives in high-crime areas, and been upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in an 8-1 decision.

As Americans cast their ballots in this year's presidential election, vote integrity is becoming an increasingly significant worry for voters, especially as a win for the Democrats could literally dissolve the U.S. border and any opposition from that point on.

The Biden administration's approach to the U.S. border, particularly under the stewardship of "Border Czar" Vice President Kamala Harris, seems to follow a consistent pattern – flood the country with undocumented migrants, and make those undocumented migrants dependent on the Democratic Party through benefits and easy means to gaining legal status to stay in the U.S.

Importantly, illegal immigration benefits the Democrat Party by skewing the U.S. Census which counts all "persons" living in the U.S.; whether they are U.S. citizens, green card holders, or undocumented migrants. Those numbers determine congressional seats and electoral votes.

According to commentary from Lora Reis of the Heritage Foundation, Democrat-run states are gaining congressional seats by welcoming and harboring illegal migrants.

"A state can gain extra congressional districts and representation in Congress thanks to the presence of a large population that isn't legally allowed to vote," Reis said, "Since the number of congressional seats is limited to 435, this additional representation comes at the expense of other states."

Reis noted this carries over into the Electoral College, which allocates each state with votes equal to the number of senators and representatives the state has in its congressional delegation – which can become a deciding factor in a presidential election.

During an interview with Tucker Carlson in early October, Elon Musk said if Trump loses this election, it will be the last meaningful election for the U.S. because Democrats are wanting to have a one-party majority, and are flooding swing states with illegal migrants to do it.

"My view is that, if Trump doesn't win this election, it's the last election that we're gonna have … The Dem machine … has been bringing in so many illegals … they're transporting large numbers of illegals to swing states … and there are triple digit increases in illegals to all the swing states, and in some cases it's like 700% over the last three years," Musk said.

Musk added those illegals who are allowed to stay are fast-tracked through the green card process, making them eligible to become a U.S. citizen after five years, and a legal voter beholden to the Democrat Party thereafter, even if their social values don't match.

"When they do so, they vote overwhelmingly Democrat … their top priority is getting their friends and family also to the United States, and the Dems also issue all these programs, sort of hand-outs essentially, that make them beholden to the Democrat Party. So they vote Dem," Musk said.

Musk said he predicts if there is another four years of a Democrat administration, they will legalize so many illegal aliens the next election will no longer have any swing states, and the U.S. will become a single-party country, similar to what is seen in California where Democrats make up two-thirds of the state's legislature.

The integrity of U.S. elections have come under fire since the much contested 2020 presidential election. Some states have introduced measures to curb voter fraud, which includes removing voters who have died or moved out of state, while others have signed new laws to make it significantly easier for illegal aliens to vote.

Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbot announced on X that Texas had removed over 1 million ineligible voters from the state's voter registration.

Just days ago, the United States Supreme Court approved Virginia's bid to stop people who are not U.S. citizens from voting in this year's election. The state began purging voter registrations in early August, removing over 1,600 names by using data from the Department of Motor Vehicles to identify those who are not U.S. citizens.

The decision was, however, not supported by the liberal Justices – Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson – with all three opposing the voter roll purge after the measure was initially blocked by a federal judge, according to the Associated Press.

Meanwhile, California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom recently signed a bill into law that will prevent local governments from asking voters for identification at the voting polls. According to Newsweek, California is one of 14 states that do not require I.D. to vote in elections, and has essentially become a one-party state. To maintain this chokehold on California, the Democrats are making it easier for illegal aliens to vote in hopes it will be able to remove Republican strongholds within the state, like Huntington Beach.

Reports are now beginning to surface of instances where groups of non-English speaking "citizens" are being escorted to the front of two-hour early voting lines, some showing up without valid I.D., and are being walked through the voting process by translators. Eyewitnesses have said they heard these translators saying they would change names on ballots if the voter's details didn't match what was listed.

In Arizona, officials found over 10,000 illegal aliens were using the exact same Social Security number, and used this to vote in the presidential election in 2020.

On social media, a video of a Haitian migrant is going viral after he had allegedly been made a U.S. citizen within a matter of months, and was able to cast a vote for Kamala Harris in Georgia.

Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen said he discovered evidence that thousands of illegal aliens, have been registered to vote on Alabama's voter rolls by the Biden administration.

Former President Donald Trump promised mass deportations while speaking at a rally in Reading, Pennsylvania, Just the News reported. Trump's platform has always included a commitment to stopping illegal immigration, but he made this his final pitch to voters Monday in a heavily Latino city in a crucial swing state. 

Conventional wisdom says that Trump must win Pennsylvania's 19 electoral votes to become president again. Conventional wisdom also says that Latino voters are turned off by candidates who crack down on illegal immigration.

However, Democrats seem to be losing ground as Trump told an enthusiastic crowd about his plans one day before Election Day. "The United States is now an occupied country, but it will soon be an occupied country no longer," Trump said to uproarious applause.

Pledge to Voters

Trump was not shy about reiterating his hardline immigration position. "On day one, I will launch the largest deportation program of criminals in American history," Trump told rallygoers.

"We're going to get them out," he added. Trump pointed out that "Dwight Eisenhower has the record" for the most deportations.

"He was a very moderate kind of a guy who's a good general [and] a good president... did a good job, but he hated the concept of people pouring into our country, and he has the record, but we're going to, unfortunately, beat the records, not something I want to do. But this is not sustainable by any country," Trump lamented.

"They're taking over your towns, your schools, your hospitals," he added. Trump mentioned the desperate situation in Springfield, Ohio, where a surge of illegal immigration has overwhelmed the small city.

"I will rescue every city and town that has been invaded and conquered. The United States is now an occupied country, but it will soon be an occupied country no longer," Trump added.

Shattering Expectations

Trump's pushback against illegal immigration was supposed to be a stance that made him unpopular with Latinos. Perhaps there was a case to be made in past elections, but not so for 2024.

Now, according to Politico, Trump has picked up support in the community. Although Vice President Kamala Harris still enjoys a majority 55% support compared to Trump's 36% in Pennsylvania among Latinos, she's trailing President Joe Biden's numbers from 2020.

Even in Reading, where Latinos make up 68.5% of the population, there are signs that it isn't the slam dunk for Harris that it was for Biden as people suffer under Democrats' leadership. "Housing cost, utilities, groceries: it’s all gone up," Michael Rivera, who is the Burks County commissioner and is half Puerto Rican, pointed out.

"My wife is on the board of a shelter, and she mentioned to me the other day that they’ve gone up to 60 inquiries a month from women and children looking for a place to stay because of housing insecurity. There’s a huge need," he added.

The policies of the last three-plus years have impacted all Americans, including the Latino population. Trump is the president for all Americans who will fix the problems the previous administration has created, and everyone knows it.
