Franklin Graham, son of the legendary Christian evangelist Billy Graham and chief of the worldwide ministry Samaritan's Purse, one of the largest charities on the globe, has compiled a long list of "winners" from the 2024 presidential election in America.

None of them has a "D" or "R" attached. They're ordinary Americans, American institutions, industries and constitutionally protected rights.

The new President-elect is Donald Trump, the 45th president of the U.S. who now in January is to become the 47th president.

But Graham, never hesitant to comment on such issues when politics begin to infringe on the religious rights of Americans, said there were a lot of other winners:

It's a win for the family.

It's a win for the economy.

It's a win for millions of unborn children.

It's a win for freedom of speech.

It's a win for religious liberty.

It's a win for law and order.

It's a win for American manufacturing.

It's a win for coal miners.

It's a win for farmers.

It's a win for the oil and gas industry.

It's a win for national security.

It's a win against bureaucracy and government regulators.

It's a win for freedom-loving people everywhere, not just here in America, but around the world.

On social media, he explained, "I thank God that Donald J. Trump won this election! This win is historic in many ways. Millions and millions of people were praying, and I believe God heard their prayers."

Just hours before the polls closed, he warned, "I voted today—in the most important election in the history of our nation. America is under attack by an immoral, anti-God agenda that would like to change our country foundationally forever. The choice is clear, and you are responsible for how you vote."

In fact, the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris agenda, which would have been pushed further and further by a Harris administration, has made promoting abortion worldwide and transgenderism in formal government policy and action primary goals.

Further, the administration has attacked the rights of Christians, trying to force Christian doctors and pharmacists to become part of the nation's lucrative abortion industry, trying to force Christian companies and Christian taxpayers to pay for abortion and transgenderism.

Byproducts of the Democrat duo's agenda have included 20% plus inflation, the multitude of problems from having a wide-open southern border, the instability that has developed around the globe by having a weak American leadership, and more.

Graham's list suggested references to Trump's pledge to restore American greatness, build its economy back, abandon the Biden-Harris abortion goals, discontinue using lawfare and federal bureaucracy weaponization against political enemies, and return to the principles of constitutional rights.

In the last few hours of the night before the 2024 presidential election, Vice President Kamala Harris was caught on video staging a home visit to Pennsylvanian voters in Reading.

The clip shows Harris joining Pennsylvania canvassers to knock on the door of a potential voter, who appears to be a Harris supporter. While the exchange was pleasant, some viewers noted the exchange looked staged.

Actually, the whole thing was staged, after a second video surfaced showing Harris walking up to the porch where a family was standing outside, saying "Hi guys … sorry for the intrusion."

After a short exchange with the family, Harris is heard saying, "Well, I want to door knock."

From that point they all walk back to the door as photographers get repositioned.

One of the big legacy media controversies in recent days was the announcement by the Washington Post, which long has promoted Democrats for president, was withholding its endorsement this year.

Owner Jeff Bezos said it was one step on the path, he hoped, to start regaining the trust of readers, a metric that has plunged even below that of trust in Congress recently.

But now the Trump campaign has filed a complaint against the publication with the Federal Election Commission over "advertising efforts Republicans argue amount to illegal electioneering."

It is the Federalist that documented the newest scheming.

"On Thursday, the Dhillon Law Group filed a complaint on behalf of former President Donald Trump and Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, that claims the Post is engaged in 'a dark money corporate campaign' to boost Vice President Kamala Harris," the report said.

The charge is that the Post, according to a report from Semafor, "pays to boost stories critical of Trump…"

According to the Federalist, Semafor reported, "the paper's desperate efforts to save readership after losing hundreds of thousands of subscribers in the aftermath of an announcement that the editorial board would not endorse Harris."

That would include, the headline said, that the Post "pays to boost stories critical of Trump."

It said, "On Monday, the paper aggressively ramped up its paid advertising campaign, boosting dozens of articles related to the election. While the articles about Vice President Kamala Harris were relatively neutral in tone and focused on her innovative digital strategy, her policy proposals, and her chances of winning next week, the articles that the Post paid to highlight about Trump told a different story."

The "multiple articles" that the Post boosted about Trump, the report said, were about his campaign rhetoric, alleged misstatements, and other negatives.

"The advertising campaign, according to the Trump campaign complaint filed with the FEC, meets the legal qualifications of 'in-kind corporate contributions' to Harris for president," the report said.

The scandal also was cited by officials with the Center for American Rights, which told the FEC, "We're days from an election, and the Washington Post is pouring cash into social media advertising that exclusively helps one candidate for president and denigrates another.

"That sort of last-minute spending is not protected by the FEC's press exemption; the Post needs to come clean and comply with the law."

Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance also commented: "The Washington Post might as well be a propaganda outlet of the Democratic Party. I don't care, frankly, whether the editorial page endorses Donald Trump or Kamala Harris. I care about whether the journalists are lying about Donald Trump or lying about Kamala Harris. And frankly, they're lying a lot in the negative direction about my running mate, and they're lying a lot in the positive direction about Kamala Harris."

One of the FBI whistleblowers whose work sparked the investigation into – and ultimate convictions of Hunter Biden on gun and tax charges – is facing a forced demotion or departure from his job, according to his lawyers who are charging the government with retaliation.

It is in Just the News that a lawyer for whistleblower Gary Shapley said a letter to his client ordering the job change is just continuing "retaliation" that began months ago when Shapely was passed over for a promotion.

Lawyer Tristan Leavitt, the chief of the Empower Oversight whistleblower center, said the federal whistleblower protection agency should take immediate action against the FBI.

Leavitt said the Office of Special Counsel "should issue an immediate stay while they conduct their investigation into the 4 promotions SSA Shapley has been passed over for since he blew the whistle, and provide a briefing to Congress on what they have done to date."

He said, in the report, "It's been 17 months since we filed with OSC about the first promotion the IRS passed over SSA Shapley for, and OSC has yet to issue any findings."

Just the News reported it was Shapley's testimony that prompted Congress to change the course "of the Biden family corruption case and resulted in Hunter Biden's felony convictions."

The younger Biden faces sentencing in just weeks for multiple gun and tax violations.

The letter sent to Shapley, the report said, gave him an ultimatum to "accept a forced transfer, a demotion, or leave the agency."

Shapley has been a supervisory special agent in Chicago, and could face a forced transfer to Washington where he would be placed in a lower-level position, the report said.

The letter ordered, "You must indicate your intent by selecting one of the three options below. Please sign, date, and return this document to your manager and me no later than fifteen (15) calendar days from the date of this notice."

The FBI claimed, in the letter, that the orders were part of its agenda for "diversity of thought, breadth of experience, and technical and interpersonal expertise."

Congress has questioned the FBI's actions even after the agency claimed it was not engaging in retaliation.

The FBI, of course, in recent years has given evidence that it, in fact, is partisan. It interfered in the 2020 election against President Trump by falsely claiming to media organizations that the Biden scandals found in Hunter Biden's laptop were disinformation when it knew at the time they were accurate.

It also was involved in the investigations resulting from the false claims made against Trump during his first election, moves that handicapped his presidency. Some FBI agents at that time were accused of exchanging messages about how they would not allow Trump to be president.

Shapley, and fellow agent Joseph Ziegler, had testified to the House Ways and Means and Oversight Committees "that they witnessed irregularities and political interference in their efforts to probe and prosecute first son Hunter Biden for tax and other violations," the report said.

It continued, "House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, who led the Biden family investigation in Congress and played a major role in obtaining the whistleblowers' evidence, told Just the News on Wednesday night he is deeply concerned by the new developments."

Comer's response: "Two brave IRS whistleblowers, Gary Shapley, and Joseph Ziegler, placed their careers on the line to blow the whistle, and now the IRS is out for revenge. These whistleblowers made lawful, protected disclosures and exposed America's two-tiered system of justice that allows the politically connected to operate above the law. Any retaliation against these two will not be tolerated and the House Oversight Committee will be calling on the IRS and the United States Office of Special Counsel to answer for this."

Just the News summarized the Hunter Biden escapades: "Congressional committees ultimately corroborated the two agents' claims with evidence and testimony and the controversy resulted in the termination of a sweetheart plea deal that would have spared Hunter Biden prison time for a variety of offenses. Hunter Biden subsequently stood trial and was convicted of felony gun charges in Delaware and pled guilty to tax crimes in California. He faces the possibility of prison time in a foreign business scandal that was originally portrayed as Russian disinformation but that ultimately proved a serious black eye for a Biden family that enriched itself with millions of dollars of money from Ukraine, China, and other foreign countries while Joe Biden was vice president."

The problem faced by the agents was the political interference as they were investigating the wrongdoing.

Democrats in the leftist city of Denver, in the leftist state of Colorado, have learned they can't quite escape all the election laws yet.

Already, the party's elite in the state led by radical left Gov. Jared Polis, and governed by a Democrat-majority legislature and all-Democrat state Supreme Court, have tried to remove President Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot.

They were publicly humiliated with a scolding from the U.S. Supreme Court.

Now, a report from the Denver Gazette documents how they planned an Election Night party at ReelWorks Denver, at 1399 35th St.

But that is virtually the same place at which the city has located a polling place.

Denver Clerk and Recorder Paul Lopez pointed out that state law requires a polling location "be free of electioneering all of Election Day."

He said if the Democrats didn't move their party, a lawsuit would be needed against the party.

"We have worked out arrangements to ensure that every voter has an opportunity to vote at Reelworks/Tracks while Colorado Democrats gather at another exciting location with friends, colleagues, and fellow Coloradans. We're looking forward to a smooth election night," said a joint statement from Lopez and Shad Murib, head of the Colorado Democratic Party.

Lopez, when he discovered the plans for a Democrat party at the same place as a polling station, had concluded that was illegal.

"Lopez wrote that holding the election night watch party constitutes electioneering and that if the Democratic Party didn't find an alternate location for its watch party, his office would need to explore all available remedies to comply with election law 'up to and including litigation,'" the report said.

Lopez said, "While we would [love] to be an accommodating partner, when it comes to protecting the integrity of elections, the safety of voters and poll workers, and the nonpartisan reputation of our office, we simply cannot negotiate what election law dictates."

Tracks sit as 3500 Walnut, but Lopez noted the city's leased space for a polling location, technically at 1399 35th, is "nearest where your party attendees would enter."

The state limits "electioneering," which is what a partisan party would be considered, within 100 feet of "a polling center."

The Joe Biden-Kamala Harris duo, in power in the White House, has worked hard to impose the LGBT ideology around the globe.

Promoting transgenderism, the unscientific belief that men can become women, essentially by saying so, has been made a core part of America's foreign practice.

So has the religion of global warming, or climate change as it has become known since global warming essentially quit.

President Donald Trump, if elected in just two weeks, would pick another priority, according to a report in the Blaze.

He would focus on ending the persecution of Christians.

The report explains that the issue arose when he was criticizing Biden and Harris for refusing to help the ethnic Armenians of Artsakh.

"The Biden-Harris administration has prioritized the advancement of the LGBT agenda and climate alarmism in its foreign policy. President Donald Trump has identified a different priority for his future administration: Combat the brutal persecution of Christians around the globe," the Blaze confirmed.

He explained, on Truth Social, "Kamala Harris did NOTHING as 120,000 Armenian Christians were horrifically persecuted and forcibly displaced in Artsakh. Christians around the World will not be safe if Kamala Harris is President of the United States."

He went on, "When I am President, I will protect persecuted Christians, I will work to stop the violence and ethnic cleansing, and we will restore PEACE between Armenia and Azerbaijan."

The Blaze explained the Republic of Artsakh also known as Nagorno-Karabakh is in the Caucasus Mountains inside Azerbaijan.

The report said, "While internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan — whose close ally Turkey, formerly the Ottoman Empire, killed 1.5 million Armenians in what is regarded as the first genocide of the 20th century — the region was, at least up until September 2023, home to over 100,000 Armenian Christians who contested Azerbaijan's territorial claims."

The area became autonomous while Armenia, the world's oldest Christian nation, and Azerbaijan, which is more than 97% Muslim, still were in the Soviet Union, and two bloody wars have focused on the land since then.

Then Azerbaijan, helped militarily by Biden-Harris despite its war crimes and torture of Armenian prisoners, assaulted the region on Sept. 19, 2023, and within months Artsakh was dissolved, the report said.

Muslim troops killed ethnic Armenians by the hundreds, the report said and destroyed churches and even cemeteries.

Thousands were forced to run for their lives.

While peace "talks" have been developing in the aftermath, the report charged, Biden and Harris have been "less than helpful where Armenian Christians were concerned."

Their policy is "two-faced," accuses the Armenian National Committee of America:

"There is no clearer example of the Biden-Harris administration's two-faced policy towards Armenia than the spineless inaction of USAID Administrator Samantha Power during Azerbaijan's blockade and ethnic cleansing of Nagorno-Karabakh. As Azerbaijan deprived Artsakh's 120,000 Armenians of access to food, fuel, medicine, and humanitarian goods in a brazen violation of international law — Administrator Power refused to acknowledge the dire humanitarian crisis unfolding. The genocidal ethnic cleansing of Artsakh's entire Armenian population was a humanitarian catastrophe the United States had every opportunity to prevent but instead chose to enable — sacrificing the existence of the region's indigenous Christian Armenian population for misguided geopolitical interests."

It openly warned the Democrats' failure will be on the minds of Armenian American voters, among the estimated two million Americans with Armenian heritage.

ANCA executive director Aram Hamparian said Harris, who recently has included the dispute in discussions, "did not lift a finger or even raise her voice against Azerbaijan's 2023 aggression. Even at the level of campaign rhetoric, she has not said a word about cutting U.S. military arms and aid to Azerbaijan."

The comment from Trump drew applause from entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, who said, "Very gratified to see President Trump speak out about the persecution & displacement of Armenian Christians in Artsakh. It's our job to call out the hypocrisy of the foreign policy establishment & we refuse to simply sweep this issue under the rug."

The report said persecution monitor Open Doors said at this time 317 million Christians around the world face very high or extreme levels of persecution.

Tim Walz, now away from his duties as Minnesota governor and roaming around the country campaigning as Kamala Harris' vice presidential nominee, has been documented to have a long history of lying.

About his military service and rank, about his pro-abortion ideology and those related laws, about his own family's experience with IVF, about Jan. 6, about more.

It's gotten so much that even the left-leaning CNN is now calling him out for lying.

About President Donald Trump's record with manufacturing jobs.

It is Fox News that documented CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale had to correct Walz when he lied about the Trump-era economy.

"Let's talk about manufacturing," anchor Kate Bolduan suggested to Dale. "Building back up manufacturing in the United States is a focus of both campaigns."

Then she exposed a clip of Walz, on ABC, saying, "We want to make sure that you're able to bring manufacturing, like [Democrat presidential nominee] Kamala Harris has said. We know [Republican nominee] Donald Trump lost more manufacturing jobs than any president in American history. That's simply factual."

But, Dale confirmed, Walz's claim simply was "not true."

"Well, if you're going to say something is simply factual, it should be factual. This is not," he said. "It's not true that the Trump presidency lost more manufacturing jobs than any other presidency. Under George W. Bush, there were about 4.5 million manufacturing jobs lost. Under Trump, it was about 178,000."

He cited job losses under Eisenhower, Ford and Reagan.

"So Trump does not have the record," Dale said.

Further, he noted, even considering the simple numbers is not accurate, because of the China-borne COVID-19 pandemic that hit at the end of Trump's term.

"I think it's also worth pointing out for context that these Trump job losses in manufacturing overwhelmingly occurred because of the COVID pandemic. Pre-pandemic, under Trump, there was a gain of about 414,000 manufacturing jobs. Again, he ended [at] negative 178,000, but that was largely because we had a pandemic-related crash," he said.

Earlier, it was the Daily Mail that listed the top "outright lies" from Walz.

The report documents how 16 former members of the Mankato West High's football team honored Walz at a political event as their "coach," as Harris had claimed him to be.

"Minnesota senator Amy Klobuchar went even further, declaring: 'In Minnesota, we trust a coach who turned a team that was 0-27 into state champions.'"

But that wasn't the truth.

"In fact, the head coach of the all-conquering side known as the 'Scarlets' was a man named Rick Sutton," the report said. Walz, a social studies teacher, was just one of multiple assistants.

The report said many are "beginning to ask if the Minnesota governor has a problem with the truth," and said his "penchant for self-aggrandizement is most pronounced when it comes to his military record."

He was in the Army National Goard in Nebraska and Minnesota for 24 years, and once boasted, "We can make sure that those weapons of war, that I carried in war, is the only place where those weapons are at."

But he never was "in war."

The report explained, "Walz was only ever deployed to Italy – in 2003 to provide security at a U.S. military base that was involved in supporting the on-going Afghanistan war effort."

Further, running for governor in 2018, he boasted of being a "retired command sergeant major."

Not so. He served "briefly in that role, but had not completed the requirements for that status and on retirement, lost it."

"Former Minnesota Army National Guard Colonel John Kolb, who told Associated Press in August that he knew Walz by reputation as 'excellent', said that he was nonetheless stunned by the way Walz had overstated his rank after retiring," the report said.

Kolb said that was "not the behavior I would expect out of a senior noncommissioned officer."

Then there was his fiasco that resulted in his arrest.

He was stopped for driving 96 mph in a 55 mph zone near Chadron, Nebraska, years ago. He tested beyond the state's limit for alcohol, pleaded guilty to reckless driving, lost his license and paid a fine.

But during his congressional campaign, his team schemed to say that he hadn't been drinking at all, claiming he failed the sobriety test because of a hearing loss, and he drove himself to jail.

"Both details were false. Walz had been driven to the police station in the back of a cop car," the report confirmed.

Then there are "embellishments" to his resume, the report cites.

"When first running for congress in 2006, the Nebraska-born politician's campaign claimed that he had once been named 'Outstanding Young Nebraskan' by the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce for his services to education, the military and small business."

Not true. In fact, "the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce sent Walz a withering letter saying they had not given him the award – adding in a particularly embarrassing note that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce had endorsed his Republican opponent," the report said.

Then under the Harris campaign, he was promoted with the claim he "led Minnesota back with strong leadership, competent management, and smart policies, cutting taxes for working families and reaching the lowest state unemployment rate in recorded history."

The Daily Mail described that as "exaggerated."

"In 2023, Minnesota's real gross domestic product – the broadest measure of economic health – grew by only 1.2 percent, meaning it ranked as the 45th fastest-growing state in the country, with only the economies of New York, Wisconsin, Delaware and Georgia growing at a more sluggish pace."

On Sunday night, the IAF conducted a series of targeted, intelligence-based strikes against dozens of facilities and sites used by the Hezbollah terrorist organization to finance its terrorist activities against the State of Israel.

The commander of the Israel Defense Force's 401st Armored Brigade, Col. Ehsan Daqsa, was killed during fighting in the northern Gaza Strip on Sunday. He is one of the most senior officers to fall in the offensive against Hamas terrorists.

Captured terrorists confirm they paid UNIFIL to use their outposts against Israel and even use their surveillance cameras to spy on IDF positions.

Shirel Golan, a survivor of the Nova Music Festival massacre on Oct. 7, 2023, during which she witnessed several of her friends be killed, took her own life on her 22nd birthday in her apartment on Sunday – having struggled with severe PTSD over the last year.

In what might be one of the most serious breaches of Israeli security in a long while, there are reports seven Israelis, all of whom immigrated from Azerbaijan, have been spying for Iran for the past two years. They are suspected of photographing Israeli military bases including those struck in the Oct. 1 Iranian ballistic missile strike.

The Wall Street Journal reported Arab negotiators offered recently eliminated Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar safe passage out of Gaza near the beginning of the war, but he refused, apparently assessing both Hezbollah and Iran would join more forcefully to destroy Israel.

A court filing from the state of Texas, which accuses a physician of illegally supplying sex "change" chemicals to underage patients, states bluntly, "The debate in Texas on the legality of dangerous and experimental medical procedures seeking to transition or affirm a child's belief that their gender identity is inconsistent with their biological sex is over. Texas law prohibits surgeries, puberty blockers, and cross-sex hormones for the purposes of transitioning a child's biological sex or affirming a child's belief that their gender identity is inconsistent with their biological sex."

Further, it states, "The Supreme Court of Texas held that the law was constitutional."

That document goes on to outline allegations against a physician for doing exactly that, and seeks fines of up to $10,000 for each count alleged.

A report from Courthouse News explained it was a "first-of-its-kind" lawsuit in which the state of Texas is suing a Dallas doctor for violating the state's ban on giving "cross-sex hormones to minors."

The physician, May C. Lau, is accused of deceiving pharmacies and insurance providers both in an agenda to give prescriptions of testosterone to a girl, who portrays herself as a boy.

"These acts, if found to be true, violate the state's Health and Safety Code as well as the Business and Commerce Code, carrying tens of thousands of dollars in civil penalties," the report said.

It is Senate Bill 14, adopted as law last year, that bars doctors from doing those drug deliveries or body mutilating surgeries on minors who have gender dysphoria.

That's the confusion over a person's gender, being male or female. Studies show that overwhelming numbers of those youth, left alone or given nothing more than counseling, eventually resolved themselves to be the sex they were born.

Actually, scientifically, changing from male to female or vice versa isn't possible as being male or female is embedded in the human body down to the DNA level.

Attorney General Ken Paxton said the law was adopted to "protect children from these dangerous unscientific medical interventions…"

"Doctors who continue to provide these harmful 'gender transition' drugs and treatments will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law,'" he explained.

Lau has worked in adolescent medicine at Children's Health Center in Dallas.

The filing, in district court in Collin County, explained, "Today, enforcement begins against those who have violated the law by providing, prescribing, administering, or dispensing cross-sex hormones to minors for the purposes of transitioning their biological sex or affirming the child's belief that their gender identity is inconsistent with their biological sex."

The charges in the filing cite "deceptive trade practices, including by misleading pharmacies, insurance providers and/or patients by falsifying medical records, prescriptions, and billing records to represent that her testosterone prescriptions are for something other than transitioning a child's biological sex or affirming a child's belief that their gender identity is inconsistent with their biological sex."

The filing charged, "Lau is a scofflaw who is putting the health and safety of minors at risk by prescribing testosterone, a controlled substance, to biological female minors for the purposes of transitioning their biological sex or affirming their belief that their gender identity is inconsistent with their biological sex in violation of Tex. Health & Safety Code."

Each of the counts is sufficient to trigger the revocation of Lau's license, the filing said.

Courthouse News explained, "The state identified 22 patients between the ages of 14 and 17 who were provided with prescriptions of testosterone. Some of the patients had received the prescriptions before Sept. 1 when SB 14 went into effect, but Lau is said to have continued providing access to the drugs throughout the remainder of last year and into the following year."

Then Lau tried to hide her violations.

"An example of this was in the case of patient 22. The state says that the patient's insurance company was falsely billed for an unspecified endocrine disorder while in actuality, the doctor used puberty blockers to aid in the patient's transition from male to female," the report said.

While the promoters of the transgender ideology call their treatments "gender-affirming," the result often is patients who have been sterilized, had mutilations on their bodies, and are left depending on drugs for a lifetime.

Far left organizations like the American Psychological Association and the American Medical Association have pushed the ideology.
