It comes as no surprise to any of you that Jay Leno is no fan of President Trump. And yet, he shared a positive takeaway from this year’s election, it “a great day for democracy.” “There was no cheating; everybody said it was honest,” Jay Leno said in reaction to Trump’s win, “It was different in my day. You kind of made fun of both sides. So you got angry letters from both sides. Now you kind of have to take a side. It’s a little bit different, but the nice thing about this election is, it was fair.” Jay Leno isn’t a fan of Donald Trump, but he has positive words for Election Day overall: “There was no cheating; everybody said it was honest…It was different in my day.

OK, I was not a fan, but that’s OK, it’s the President of the United States — let’s all get together, thank you very much,” he said as the crowd applauded. “You know, my fear is they’re going to be watching this, and there are 1,100 votes out of 300 million between, and it’s going to be name calling about, ‘OK, here’s the answer, OK? This is the thing.’ And it was done professionally — there was no cheating. Everybody says it was honest. I mean, it’s a great day for democracy,” Leno added.

President Trump made history in Texas! Trump became the first Republican presidential candidate to win Starr County on the border in South Texas in over 100 years. Starr County has a population of approximately 66,000, with 97 percent Hispanic residents. According to KCBD, Trump defeated Harris in Starr County with 57.7% of the vote. In comparison, Hillary Clinton won 79% in 2016. Starr County has not elected a Republican presidential candidate since 1892, formerly the longest Democratic voting streak of any county in the nation.

Trump’s take over of the blue bastion was made evident Wednesday morning as he won Starr County with more than 57% of the vote — the first time a Republican has claimed the border community in 128 years. The outcome reveals the surge in popularity Trump has received from Latino voters, especially among men, with issues around the border and illegal immigration. While exit polls suggest that Harris won around 53% of the overall Latino vote in Texas, 54% of Latino men said they supported Trump — a dramatic swing from 36% four years ago.

President William McKinley won that election and a re-match in 1900. Starr County is west of Hidalgo County, which has a population of about 870,000, including McAllen. Trump also won Hidalgo County, with about 51 percent, part of a sweep across much of South Texas that has historically been won by Democrats. WATCH:

Republican businessman Dave McCormick has defeated incumbent Sen. Bob Casey Jr. (D-PA) to flip Pennsylvania’s Senate seat to red. The victory expands the GOP Senate majority to 53, flipping four seats in the 2024 election. “I am honored and excited to represent EVERY Pennsylvanian as our next Senator. We are so grateful. Thank you!” McCormick said Thursday evening. WATCH: I am honored and excited to represent EVERY Pennsylvanian as our next Senator. We are so grateful.

However, the Democratic senator has yet to concede the race. “I have dedicated my life to making sure Pennsylvanians’ voices are heard, whether on the floor of the Senate or in a free and fair election. It has been made clear there are more than 100,000 votes still to be counted,” Casey Jr. said. “Pennsylvania is where our democratic process was born. We must allow that process to play out and ensure that every vote that is eligible to be counted will be counted. That is what Pennsylvania deserves,” he added.

Bob Casey in Tuesday’s election after accusing the incumbent of supporting policies that led to inflation, domestic turmoil and war. The victory pads Republicans’ majority in the Senate, which they wrested from Democratic control this week, and clocked in as the nation’s second-most expensive race while playing out alongside the presidential contest won by Republican Donald Trump in the nation’s premier battleground state. McCormick, 59, recaptured a GOP seat in Pennsylvania after Republicans lost one in 2022, paying off a bet that party brass made when they urged McCormick to run and consolidated support behind him. In an interview on Fox News shortly after The Associated Press called the race Thursday, the Trump-endorsed McCormick said “people want change.” Republican Dave McCormick flips Pennsylvania Senate seat, sends Democrat Bob Casey packing after three terms https://t.co/2QN5E1i4zt pic.twitter.com/xi4auYs9ff — New York Post (@nypost) November 7, 2024 BREAKING: PA Senate race has officially been called for Republican Dave McCormick who beat incumbent Democrat Bob Casey.

He lost the Republican Senate primary in 2022 to celebrity Dr. Mehmet Oz. The West Point graduate told Fox News host Laura Ingraham he’s “honored” to serve the people of Pennsylvania. “I’m so excited. It’s a critical time for our country, and I’m honored to represent the great people of Pennsylvania — regardless of party, by the way, represent, you know, Democrats, Republicans, Independents,” he said. “My job is to represent every single one of them.” McCormick added that he believes there’s no “mathematical path” for Casey to win based on the outstanding votes. “I lost an election by 900 votes, so I know — I know you got to process it. I know Sen. Casey’s got to process this, and he’s been in elected office for 30 years. His family’s had a great history of public service, and so, you know, he’s going to have to find his way to the right answer,” he said. “But I think the math is indisputable, and I think that’s why the AP called it and why we’re confident moving forward to start preparing to be the next senator from Pennsylvania.”

One day after the Mayor of New York City reportedly had a phone call with President Trump during which Mayor Adams congratulated him on his win and vowed to work with Trump on the immigration crisis, the Mayor has announced that he is ending the New York City’s controversial program of giving free food vouchers to illegal immigrants.

In a statement Thursday, a City Hall spokesperson said: “Through the immediate response cards pilot program, we were able to reduce food waste, redirect millions of dollars to our local economy, and provide more culturally relevant food to more than 2,600 migrant families in our care. As we move towards more competitive contracting for asylum seeker programs, we have chosen not to renew the emergency contract for this pilot program once the one-year term concludes. For over two years, we have provided care to more than 222,000 migrants while saving $2 billion in asylum seeker-related costs. Thanks to our resettlement efforts, intensive case management, and national-leading Asylum Application Help Center, more than 160,000 migrants have left our shelter system and taken their next steps towards self-sufficiency. We will continue to implement and learn from innovative pilot programs like the immediate response cards program as we care for hundreds of new arrivals every week.” The migrant families enrolled in the program will continue to receive debit cards through the end of the year. After that, the city will transition back to food delivery services for migrants.

Mayor Adams spoke to President-elect Donald Trump Wednesday about working together to address “issues in the city,” Adams said, without going into specifics or disclosing whether they discussed the prospect of mass deportations or Adams’ pending criminal case. “I communicated with the president yesterday to state that there are many issues here in the city that we want to work together with the administration to address,” the mayor said at an unrelated press conference Thursday, naming infrastructure as one of the topics. Adams also said he’s confident he’ll be able to find “common ground” with Trump on public safety. During his campaign for the White House, Trump highlighted crime in cities such as New York in criticizing Democrats’ approach to safety. “I look forward to coordinating with any and everyone to keep this great city safe,” Adams said. While neither Mayor Adams nor President Trump have disclosed the details of the call, including whether or not they discussed the controversial “free food for illegals” voucher program, it stands to reason that Mayor Adams’ stated intention to work with President Trump (rather than against, as Gavin Newsom has sworn to do), would likely produce exactly this turn of events — particularly if President Trump requested the ending of the program which he has previously called into question. The Mayor did defend the voucher program, according to a report in the New York Times, yet the refusal to renew the emergency contract with Mobility Capital Finance for the voucher program speaks volumes — even if the Mayor did not give up the details. The pilot program came under fire from the moment it was announced in February, with critics concerned that the cards could be misused and questioning whether it was fair to give preferential treatment to migrants over others in need. Mayor Eric Adams has defended it, arguing that the program would bring down the costs of feeding migrants and give them a wider array of healthier options at supermarkets and bodegas. But his administration has decided not to renew the one-year contract, which had been given to Mobility Capital Finance, known as MoCaFi, on a no-bid emergency basis. The city’s Department of Investigation is investigating the contract with MoCaFi, The New York Daily News reported in October. In explaining the city’s decision on Thursday, Mr. Adams made no mention of the investigation. He said that given the city’s “constant decrease in our population” of migrants, there was no need to renew an emergency contract. “It was an emergency, and now we’re moving in another direction,” he said on WABC-TV, adding that the program was successful. I can’t help but wonder if “another direction” as indicated by the Mayor is simply his politically strategic acquiescence to the new reality in which failed democratic policies are no longer simply propped up with more and more money, never receiving any pushback — because the Biden-Harris White House has been more than happy to provide the never-ending printing press to “create” those funds out of thin air; something that will quickly come to an end if President Trump makes good on even a third of his campaign promises.
