Move over Kurt Warner ... there's a new rags-to-riches NFL story taking the world by storm. Now, obviously a kicker isn't worth the same to an NFL team as a quarterback, but that doesn't make this story any less cool. To wit, the once-moribund Detroit Lions team continued its path...

President-elect Donald Trump's victory over Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election has triggered a predictable mental-health crisis. Meanwhile, the racist and self-righteous American left appears poised to devour its own. Ironically, perhaps survivors of that cannibalization might find much-needed peace by recognizing Trump supporters as their true allies....

The New York Post confirmed President Trump selected Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) to be his United Nations ambassador. “I am honored to nominate Chairwoman Elise Stefanik to serve in my Cabinet as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Elise is an incredibly strong, tough, and smart America First fighter,” Trump told the New York Post Sunday night. #BREAKING: Rep. Elise Stefanik has ACCEPTED Trump’s offer for US Ambassador to the United Nations, per NYP This admin is going to be STACKED! pic.twitter.com/zQiMz92FVS — Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) November 11, 2024 From the New York Post: Stefanik, the No. 4 House Republican, has been a close Trump ally, including serving on his ceremonial defense team in 2020 during his first impeachment trial for pressuring Ukraine to investigate alleged Biden family corruption. The Harvard grad worked to turn the tables on what she called the “Biden Crime Family” and has regularly appeared on TV to drive home the Republican positions on issues — setting up a likely a contrast from the outgoing UN ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield, who rarely courted media attention. “I am truly honored to earn President Trump’s nomination to serve in his Cabinet as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations,” Stefanik said in a statement confirming her acceptance of the role. “During my conversation with President Trump, I shared how deeply humbled I am to accept his nomination and that I look forward to earning the support of my colleagues in the United States Senate.” Exclusive: Trump confirms NYer Elise Stefanik will be his enforcer at the UN: ‘Strong, tough, and smart’ https://t.co/noisxE7NGa pic.twitter.com/S0wmQTiZIj — New York Post (@nypost) November 11, 2024 Per CNN: The choice of Stefanik signals a more combative US posture toward the UN. Stefanik has frequently criticized the international organization, particularly over its criticism of Israel, and last month said the Biden administration should consider a “complete reassessment” of US funding for the UN if the Palestinian Authority continues to pursue a push to revoke Israel’s UN membership. Stefanik, the House Republican Conference chair, has for years been one of Trump’s staunchest supporters in Congress. Her aggressive performance during his 2019 impeachment hearings made her a “Republican star,” as Trump himself said at the time. And again she stepped up for Trump after his 2020 defeat, when she objected to certifying President Joe Biden’s win in the House and promoted Trump’s false claims about election fraud. But she wasn’t always Trump’s biggest fan: The New York Republican, who was the youngest woman ever elected to Congress at the time of her first win in 2014, voted against one of his signature legislative victories – his 2017 tax plan. A self-styled “independent voice” who had evinced a moderate persona, she’d previously won high praise from former House Speaker Paul Ryan, who wrote in Time magazine that Stefanik was a “builder – no easy feat in an age when so much of politics is about tearing people down.” She’d worked for Ryan during Mitt Romney’s 2012 campaign. Once a Trump skeptic — and occasional outright critic — during his 2016 presidential campaign and into the early days of his presidency, she shifted from detractor to defender — a move she explained was due in part due to Trump’s popularity in her upstate New York district.

President Trump has secured the highest popular vote count of any Republican presidential candidate in American history. “As of Sunday morning, Trump clinched 74,650,000 popular votes, eclipsing his prior record of 74,224,000 votes in the 2020 election, per the Associated Press,” the New York Post stated. BREAKING: Trump has achieved the highest raw popular vote count of any Republican presidential candidate in history, according to projections of the 2024 election. — Leading Report (@LeadingReport) November 10, 2024 The outlet noted approximately 5 million outstanding votes left to tally in numerous states, including California, Alaska, Arizona, Maryland, Oregon, and Utah.   Most votes by a Republican Nominee.

Chapman (@davidchapman141) November 11, 2024 From the New York Post: Trump, 78, had swept all seven battleground states and won the Electoral College by 312 to 226. That’s the largest victory since 2012, when then-incumbent President Barack Obama notched 332 to 206. For context, Trump’s 2016 victory was 304 to 227. Biden won the Electoral College 306 to 232. Republicans have also recaptured the Senate and are within striking distance of retaining the House of Representatives. The soon-to-be 47th commander-in-chief is only the second president in US history to win a second nonconsecutive term after Glover Cleveland, a Democrat who served as the 22nd and 24th US president starting in 1885. Trump is also set to become the first Republican presidential candidate to win the popular vote since George W. Bush in 2004. With around 72 million votes, Trump is the first Republican in 20 years to win the popular vote https://t.co/3RlaMFJlkl pic.twitter.com/RivfRcbKfu — Kashish Parpiani (@kparpiani) November 7, 2024 Per Axios: Trump was elected in key battleground states this cycle, easing his trajectory to 270 electoral votes and cementing his popular victory. In 2016, Trump lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton by about 2.9 million votes but won in the Electoral College. Trump’s nearly 72 million votes this year, counted as of Wednesday afternoon, fall nearly 10 million behind President Biden’s 2020 popular vote.  In 2004, former President and then-incumbent George W. Bush was the first Republican presidential candidate to win the popular vote since 1988. Bush won the popular vote by more than 3 million votes over John Kerry, his Democratic opponent. He had lost the popular vote in 2000 against Al Gore but won the Electoral College.
