Mark Cuban Congratulates Trump on ‘Fair and Square’ Election Win After Sexist Smear of Pro-Trump Women

 Mark Cuban, the leftist billionaire and prominent Harris campaign surrogate, congratulated Donald Trump and Elon Musk on the former president’s “fair and square” election victory, despite his sexist smear against Pro-Trump women sending shockwaves through the nation less than a week before Trump’s landslide victory.

The New York Post reports that in the early hours of Wednesday morning, following the conclusion of the 2024 presidential election, billionaire leftist and Shark Tank judge Mark Cuban took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to express his congratulations to Donald Trump on his victory. Cuban, who had been a vocal supporter and surrogate for Trump’s opponent, Kamala Harris, throughout the campaign, wrote, “Congrats @realDonaldTrump. You won fair and square. Congrats to @elonmusk as well. #Godspeed.”

The congratulatory message came as a surprise to many, given Cuban’s previous criticism of Trump and his involvement in the Harris campaign. Just days earlier, during an appearance on ABC’s “The View,” Cuban had faced backlash for claiming that Trump does not surround himself with “strong, intelligent women.” The billionaire quickly attempted to clarify his remarks, stating that he was referring to why Nikki Haley, a prominent Republican figure, was not actively involved in Trump’s campaign.

Cuban apologized for his comments, acknowledging that it was a mistake on his part and emphasizing that he was not intending to make negative statements about Trump supporters. He cited his wife, Tiffany Stewart, as having watched the entire interview and understanding the context of his remarks. Cuban also pointed out that he knows many strong and intelligent women who voted for Trump, including members of his own extended family.

Breitbart News’ John Nolte explained in a column why Cuban’s apology makes no sense:

Of course, that’s pure gibberish, pure nonsense. It’s one thing to say Trump does not like to be challenged publicly. It’s another to say — as Cuban did — that because Trump doesn’t like to be challenged publicly, all the women he keeps around are dumb and compliant.

After that “explanation” blew up in his face, America’s Dumbest Billionaire tried again on Friday. Now he’s saying he misspoke…

“When I said this during the interview, I didn’t get it out exactly the way I thought I did,” Cuban xweeted. “So I apologize to anyone who felt slighted or upset by my response. As I said, it wasn’t about trump voters, supporters or employees. Current or former[.]”

He added, “And, I set myself up for the 6 sec soundbite. No excuses. Can’t nail every interview. My skin is thick enough.”

Just like Joe Biden calling all of us “garbage,” all Cuban did was feel too comfortable in The View’s hen house echo chamber, which resulted in him telling the truth about how he sees women who support Trump.

Trump responded to Cuban’s idiotic comments and non-apology by insulting his golf game, a crucial weakness for many billionaires.

Despite the controversy surrounding his comments, Cuban’s congratulatory message to Trump and Musk signaled a shift in tone and an acceptance of the election results. Trump, in his victory speech on Wednesday morning in West Palm Beach, Florida, praised several women who he credited with helping him secure a return to the White House. He specifically mentioned his wife, Melania Trump, whose book Melania: A Memoir had become the nation’s best-selling book.

Exit polls conducted by NBC News across ten key states revealed that 44 percent of female voters supported Republican candidates in the 2024 election, a slight increase from the 42 percent who voted for Republicans four years prior. This data suggests that Trump’s appeal among female voters had not significantly diminished, despite the controversies and criticisms he faced during his previous term and throughout the campaign.

Ex-Trump Fixer Michael Cohen Posted ‘RIP’ MAGA Shortly Before Trump’s Historic Win

 Former Trump fixer Michael Cohen, who turned against his former boss, posted an AI-generated graphic of a grave with “MAGA” written on it and a baseball hat that said “RIP” on top of it — shortly before former President and now President-Elect Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election.

“Today has finally arrived…The day that chaos and divisiveness comes to an end!” he posted gleefully, along with the hashtags #ElectionDay2024 and #HarrisWalz2024. 

Cohen — who testified against Trump in his business documents trial in New York — would be among those later forced to eat their words after Trump’s landslide victory against Vice President Kamala Harris.

In 2018, Cohen pleaded guilty to eight criminal charges, including five counts of tax evasion, one count of making false statements to a financial institution, and two campaign contribution-related violations. He served jail time and when he got out, live-streamed rants against Trump, once calling him “Von Shitz in Pants.”

He pledged that if Trump won the election, he would leave the country and change his name.

He told MSNBC’s Deadline in September, “I’m out of here. I’m already working on a foreign passport with a completely different name. I don’t know how it is going to work as far as dealing with my wife and my children. I certainly don’t want them moving to where I’m looking to go.”

Cohen told Deadline:

“I don’t think — yourself, or the president of MSNBC, General Milley, Liz Cheney — how many people has he turned around and said that these are people that I intend to go after if I have the ability to? And the worst is the Supreme Court’s recent decision that gave him immunity, presidential immunity. Now he thinks it is not only can I do whatever I want, but I can’t even be prosecuted. It’s a get out of jail free card.”

McCaskill: Trump ‘Knows Our Country Better Than We Do’ — His Appeal to Anger Won

 

MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill, a former Democratic U.S. Senator for Missouri, said Wednesday on “Morning Joe” that President-Elect Donald Trump knew our country better than Democrats.

McCaskill said, “I think we have to acknowledge that Donald Trump knows our country better than we do. I think he figured out that anger — and frankly, fear — were way more powerful than appealing to people’s better angels. That anger and fear were going to work in this election. Whether you’re afraid of immigrants or afraid of people who are trans, he figured that out. And I think we all thought everyone’s better angels would prevail. Turns out, the better angels went on vacation when Donald Trump came down the escalator. And they haven’t returned.”

She added, “By the way, his persecution, majority of America believes he was persecuted not prosecuted. There’s no question that our grip on hey, we got to make those same rules apply to every American, no matter who you are, turns out that’s not true. America believed, majority of Americans believed he was a victim in those prosecutions, not a perpetrator and I think that’s something that will be talked for a long time. Books will be written about it. The assassination attempt helped. Where he made up the most ground, first with hispanic voters, knowing how he’s talked about hispanic people in this campaign, let that sit for a moment. The second one was in fact in urban areas, he did much better, that was the second area he did much better and the last one was young voters. The Democratic Party was so sure that young people would reject this guy because they see a different America than he does, turns out he appealed to their grievance and their anger and their fear just as much as he was appealing to white folks in rural America that aren’t college educated.”

Donald Trump Wins Catholic Vote by ‘Massive Margin’ of 15 Points

 Exit polls suggest President-Elect Donald Trump won the Catholic vote by a whopping 15 points, the largest margin in decades.

According to a Washington Post exit poll, Trump won the national Catholic vote Tuesday by 56 percent to 41 percent. Similarly, an NBC exit poll found that Catholic voters favored Trump in 10 key swing states by a 15-point margin, with 56 percent of the vote going to the former president and only 41 percent going to Harris.

While Trump and running mate J.D. Vance actively courted the Catholic vote, Vice President Kamala Harris seemed bent on alienating Catholics in every way possible, a tactic that served her poorly on election day.

In late October, Donald Trump declared that Kamala Harris had “lost the Catholic vote,” noting her dismal polling numbers among Catholics, a demographic that acts as a reliable bellwether of the election results.

As noted by one recent study, winning the Catholic vote, even by just a few percentage points, “is a reasonable indicator of who will win the American Presidency.”

This trend was evident in the past two elections. In 2016, then-presidential candidate Donald Trump received 52 percent of the Catholic vote versus Hillary Clinton’s 42 percent, and he won the election. In 2020, President Joe Biden managed to receive 51 percent of the Catholic vote to Trump’s 47 percent and similarly took the day.

Kamala’s “persecution of the Catholic Church is unprecedented!” Trump wrote on Truth Social, underscoring her support of late-term abortion, “and even execution after birth,” which the majority of Americans oppose.

“Christians around the World will not be safe if Kamala Harris is President of the United States,” Trump said. “When I am President, I will protect persecuted Christians, I will work to stop the violence and ethnic cleansing.”

For her part, former U.S. Ambassador Callista Gingrich had described Kamala Harris as “the anti-Catholic candidate.”

Harris’s snub of the Alfred E. Smith Catholic charity dinner in New York was the umpteenth show of her “disdain for Catholics,” Gingrich wrote.

Kamala “declined the invitation to attend the Al Smith Dinner, the first presidential candidate to do so since Walter Mondale in 1984,” Gingrich noted. “Instead, she sent in a pre-recorded video message.”

Anti-Catholic choices are nothing new for Kamala, and with each passing day, “more Americans are reminded of Harris’s abysmal record targeting Catholics as California’s Attorney General and U.S. Senator, and as Vice President of the United States,” Gingrich said.

As senator, Harris’s anti-Catholic animus was on full display when she grilled Catholic judicial nominees about their faith, implying that affiliation with the Knight of Columbus – a Catholic charitable organization that included JFK among its members – was grounds for disqualification.

As CatholicVote.org president Brian Burch said on Trump’s Victory, “Catholic voters played a decisive role in the historic victory of Donald Trump and J.D. Vance, with some exit polls suggesting Trump defeated Harris among Catholics by a 14 point margin.”

“These numbers are shocking,” he continued, “and could prove to be the largest margin among Catholics in a presidential race in decades. Catholics proved again to be a critical voting bloc that cannot be ignored.”

Burch said that Trump and Vance won Catholics by a “massive margin” by promising to improve the lives of those most impacted by inflation, and by promising to bring about a humane and orderly solution to the chaos at the border.

Further, Trump and Harris “differed sharply over the role of religion in America,” he said, with Harris “sealing her fate by telling Christians they didn’t belong at her rallies, before declaring there would be no accommodations for people of faith on abortion.”

“Catholics are increasingly attracted by the agenda of the new right, popularized by Trump, which combines family-first social policies with America-first economic priorities,” he added.

So far, Democrats Are Down 15 Million Votes from 2020 ‘Miracle’ – What Happened?

 It’s still a bit early in the counting but it appears that Democrats and Kamala Harris not only lost the 2024 election to former President Donald Trump but they lost around 15 million votes in the past four years.

In 2020 Democrats and the legacy media claimed that Joe Biden tallied 81 million votes to defeat President Donald Trump who gained 74 million votes – more votes than any US president in history.

Joe Biden, who hid in his basement and could only muster crowds of a few hundred allegedly defeated President Donald Trump, the most popular president in US history, according to the number of votes he received.

It was an amazing accomplishment who a man who was already showing serious signs of dementia.

Fast forward to 2024.

So far in 2024 Kamala Harris and Democrats were only able to must 66 million votes – down 15 million from their 2020 total.

Those numbers are expected to rise in the coming days but it is unlikely that Kamala will get anywhere near 80 million votes.

Only 87% of the total vote is reportedly counted at this time.

In fact, it looks like President Donald Trump will win the US popular vote this year, as well.

The last time Republicans won the popular vote was back in 2004 when George Bush defeated Ghengis John Kerry.

So what really happened to all of the Democrat votes this year?

BAD SIGN FOR KAMALA: MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell Already Complaining About the Electoral College (VIDEO)

 

You know that Democrats are worried about losing an election the moment they start complaining about the Electoral College system.

Over on MSNBC, far left host Lawrence O’Donnell is already there.

O’Donnell complains that because of the EC, voters in New York and California feel like their votes don’t count, which doesn’t even make sense.

Via the Western Lensman on Twitter/X:

MSNBC’s Laurence O’Donnell continues media attacks on the Electoral College: “An enormous force in voter suppression.”

“An apology to all of those states that we have not mentioned. It’s not our fault, it’s the Founding Fathers. They decided on this thing called the Electoral College, which, interestingly, no other country in the world decided to copy.”

“If you’re in California, if you’re in New York, and when you think about how enormous a force that can be in voter suppression, there may be nothing quite like it.”

“This Electoral College problem, is one that bedevils us in the 21st century as it never has before.”

Watch the video:

The Electoral College exists precisely to prevent populous states like New York and California from deciding every election.

In D.C. Suburbs, Most Of The Ballot Is Written In Foreign Languages

 The vast majority of each page on the voters’ ballots in Fairfax County, Virginia, is written in foreign languages, making it difficult to locate the names of candidates.

Every line on the ballot appears in three different languages besides English. The foreign languages are intended to make it easy for people who are American citizens, but do not speak English at all, to participate in America’s election process.

But the result is a long and unwieldy ballot that is difficult for Americans to decipher. The candidate’s name doesn’t even appear until seven lines below the bubble voters are supposed to fill in for that candidate.

In 2017, Fairfax County, which houses many federal bureaucrats and overwhelmingly votes Democrat, said it would print all ballots with four languages, including Spanish, Vietnamese, and Korean.

The federal government says that the Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended in 2006, requires ballots to be printed in foreign languages where there are many foreigners with less than a fifth-grade education.

 

“Section 203 mandates that a state or political subdivision must provide language assistance to voters if more than five (5) percent of voting-age citizens are members of a single-language minority group and do not ‘speak or understand English adequately enough to participate in the electoral process,’ and if the rate of those citizens who have not completed the fifth grade is higher than the national rate of voting-age citizens who have not completed the fifth grade,” the Census Bureau said in 2021. The same also applies if there are more than 10,000 people, but they make up less than 5%.

The Census Bureau determines which jurisdictions meet this criteria. The federal government did not require Fairfax to print in Korean, but it said it was adding the language because its population was close to the level that would trigger it.

That requirement was supposed to have been temporary and to have expired decades ago, but Congress has repeatedly extended the temporary provisions — with the 2006 amendment extending the language requirement to 2032.

Fairfax’s ballots also list the bubble next to the presidential candidate’s party, not name — a style that seems to encourage party-line voting and makes it difficult to even figure out which bubble is for which candidate. Donald Trump’s name, for example, appears seven lines of text below the bubble, amidst a sea of foreign characters.

Virginia’s Republican nominee for Senate, military veteran Hung Cao, came to the U.S. as a refugee from communist Vietnam.
