President Joe Biden appeared almost happy in the first speech he's given since the devastating loss for Vice President Kamala Harris in the election. Biden spoke for about 10 minutes from the White House on Thursday and tried to encourage supporters to keep fighting despite their discouraging failure to defeat President-elect Donald Trump. 'The America of your dreams is calling for you to get back up. That's the story of America for over 240 years, and counting.' "In a democracy, the will of the people always prevails," said Biden. Biden claimed to have given the U.S. the "strongest economy in the world" and reassured followers that his policies would continue to help Americans for the next decade. Some viewers noted that Biden looked almost happy at times during the speech.

He also promised to ensure a "peaceful and orderly" transition.He also encouraged Americans to avoid divisiveness and defended the integrity of the election. "I've said many times, you can't love your country only when you win. You can't love your neighbor only when you agree. Something I hope we can do, no matter who you voted for, is see others not as adversaries, but as fellow Americans. Bring down the temperature," said Biden. "Setbacks are unavoidable. But giving up is unforgivable," he said before repeating the line for emphasis.

But the measure of our character, as my dad would say, is how quickly we get back up. Remember, a defeat does not mean we are defeated," he continued. "We lost this battle. The America of your dreams is calling for you to get back up. That's the story of America for over 240 years and counting."Trump appears to have garnered 312 electoral votes, and Harris has only 226, now that some outlets have called the races in Arizona and Nevada. "The American experiment endures," Biden said. Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

Winning elections is a collective effort, but some individuals shoulder far more responsibility than others, as demonstrated over the past several months by conservative activist Scott Ryan Presler, founder of the Early Vote Action PAC and former chairman of Gays for Trump. Presler, the son of a retired Navy captain, put his nose to the grindstone in Pennsylvania, working to turn out the vote for President Donald Trump. After Trump beat Kamala Harris 50.5% to 48.5% in the Keystone State, Presler tweeted, "Mister President, I'm pleased to share that we have delivered Pennsylvania for you. Congratulations, sir." Presler is now being celebrated for his efforts. BlazeTV's Allie Beth Stuckey wrote, "GREAT JOB!" "Thank you, Scott," wrote Robert F. Kennedy Jr. "You were a miracle worker." "Thanks Scott!" Elon Musk tweeted Wednesday following Trump's landslide victory. "You're a legend Scott," tweeted Donald Trump Jr. "The Republican party needs to pay this guy and put him in charge of voter registration in ALL of the swing states," wrote Wall Street Silver. "Not a talker," wrote James O'Keefe. "A man of action. He put in the work and did what he said he was going to do." Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Co.) similarly celebrated Presler, writing, "You have gone above and beyond and we are so grateful for all the work you've put into winning this election." Presler previously indicated that after graduating from George Mason University with a 3.63 GPA, he couldn't find a job, so he began walking dogs for a living. Unfortunately for Harris, that turned out to be a short-lived career. After spending two years working to defeat Hillary Clinton, Presler committed to getting Trump re-elected and renewing America. His activism took on different forms. 'Pennsylvania has the power to change the world.' For instance, in 2019, Presler traveled to cities dirtied by "failed Democrat policies" like Baltimore and worked to clean up their streets. He told Fox News Digital at the time, "We organized 200 volunteers, on a Monday, a workday, and we picked up 12 tons of trash in 12 hours on the most dangerous streets of America in West Baltimore." "We went to Atlanta, Austin, Baltimore, Chicago, Denver, Dukane, Detroit, Houston, Kenosha, Los Angeles, Miami, Milwaukee, Portland, Pittsburgh, Philly, and I was even protested for picking up trash in San Francisco, California," added the activist. Over time, the activist refined and focused his efforts. In January 2023, Presler announced the launch of his PAC with the stated purpose of "increasing voter registration, along with increasing absentee voting & early voting participation, beginning with the key 2024 swing states of Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin." Presler noted in a Jan. 24, 2023, op-ed that EVA is going to organize and mobilize, devoid of insider political drama plaguing the RNC and the D.C. swamp, and lead the way in ensuring that every right-leaning American is registered to vote and excited to vote early, whether by mail or in person. And by achieving this goal, Early Vote Action PAC is going to ensure that 2024 is a year of Republican victories. While making good on his plan, he was attacked viciously by Democratic operatives such as Alex Floyd, rapid response director for the Democratic National Committee, who called Presler "an election-denying conspiracy theorist." Elements of the liberal media similarly smeared Presler. A Daily Beast hit piece, for example, deemed him a "radical" and insinuated he was an extremist. Undeterred, Presler announced on Sept. 20 that he would not leave Pennsylvania, citing the need to be present for the "final battle." "For the next 40+ days, I am not leaving Pennsylvania. I even purchased property in Pennsylvania just to vote for Donald Trump. We have 40+ paid staff on the ground & ALL of our resources are going to PA," wrote the activist. "We're all in." Weeks later, when Trump returned to the site where he was previously shot by a Democratic donor, Presler was brought onstage, where he told the crowd, "Pennsylvania has the power to change the world." After imploring audience members to double-check their voter status, he said, "A message to our union workers: We want your vote. We want to keep jobs here in America. To our beautiful Amish in Lancaster and across the state: We will protect your raw milk, your dairy, your farming, your school choice, your religious freedom, your ability to afford to have 10 beautiful children per family." Trump ultimately won the state with over 130,000 votes. Blaze News reached out to Presler for comment but did not receive a response by the deadline. Like Blaze News?

Leftists in Massachusetts, one of the bluest states in the country, have pledged to protect the tens of thousands of illegal immigrants living there as a second term under President Donald Trump looms on the horizon.On the campaign trail this year, Trump repeatedly promised to deport en masse many of the millions of illegal aliens who have stolen into the United States during the Biden-Harris administration."We're going to have the largest deportation in the history of our country, and we're going to start with Springfield and Aurora," Trump said earlier this year, according to USA Today.Now that the American people have spoken and voted overwhelmingly to send Trump back into office, Massachusetts liberals claimed they will do all they can so that the commonwealth's 100,000 or so illegal aliens — who have drained untold millions in taxpayer-funded resources for the past four years — can stay where they are.In response to MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell asking her on election night whether the Massachusetts State Police would "assist in mass deportations," Gov. Maura Healey (D) replied, "No, absolutely not."Healey also told O'Donnell she would fight against any "pressure" exerted on state officials to cooperate in similar efforts."Every tool in the toolbox has got to be used to protect our citizens, our residents, and protect our states and certainly to hold the line on democracy and the rule of law as a basic principle," she added.'Gov. Healey may feel her far-left Democratic base wants this, but this election showed us the vast majority of voters do not.'Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell (D) slammed what she called Trump's "deportation force" and promised to join forces with leaders across the country to stop it, even though polls consistently show that most Americans support deporting illegal aliens rather than granting them a pathway to citizenship."We are prepared for every scenario — obviously when he was president before, he led and started with a ban on certain populations and certain constituents," Campbell said, referring to Trump's previous ban on immigrants from some Muslim-majority countries. "We are well aware of that, and AGs came together then to work in partnership to combat that administration."The City of Cambridge, a sanctuary city and the home of Harvard University, likewise pledged to "protect" all of its residents "regardless of their immigration status.""As a Sanctuary City, Cambridge affirms the basic human rights and dignity of every human being and provides education, health and other critical services to all residents of Cambridge, regardless of their immigration status," said a statement from city spokesperson Jeremy Warnick.Cambridge is also committed to "supporting and promoting the safety, health, and well-being of all of its residents," his statement added, according to the Harvard Crimson.Paul Craney of the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance claimed that these sentiments about illegal aliens are out of touch with most of the Bay State."Governor Maura Healey needs to begin listening to what the voters want instead of telling us what she thinks we should hear," Craney said in a statement to Blaze News. "Illegal immigration and inadmissible migrants are having a big negative impact on taxpayer resources, and the election was fueled in part due to this issue. Gov. Healey may feel her far-left Democratic base wants this, but this election showed us the vast majority of voters do not."Like Blaze News?

An 82-year-old Washington woman was arrested around 1 pm. on Monday for a hate crime after assaulting two Trump supporters, according to police. The alleged victims — 55-year-old Gina Powell and 66-year-old Mary Jennings — were waving signs and flags supporting former President Donald Trump. They were allegedly confronted by an elderly woman while supporting Trump a day before the 2024 presidential election on a street in Edmonds, Washington. 'She made it very clear it was my skin color.'Police bodycam footage shows the suspect wearing a "Harris-Waltz 2024" button on her vest. Race seemed to be a part of the Kamala Harris supporter's issue with the women championing Trump. Powell — who is Hispanic — told KTTH host Jason Rantz, "She looked at my face and said, ‘I can’t believe you’re voting for a racist ... how dare you, you should be ashamed of yourself.'""I was just shocked at just the presence of mind, and she made it very clear it was my skin color," Powell added. The unnamed 82-year-old woman told police, “I approached her, and I said I want to know why you're voting for Trump. That's the only thing. And. And I said because you're brown-skinned."The suspect allegedly told the Trump supporters, "Do you know what will happen to people like you if Trump is elected?" She purportedly said the women "should know better." The Edmonds Police Department said in a statement on Wednesday: "During the incident, the suspect indicated the race of the victims, and their political beliefs were the catalyst for her approaching and yelling at them about their views before the assault.""When officers contacted the suspect, she stated that she could not understand why people of color would support this particular candidate," the police noted. "The suspect commented on the victim's attire and skin color before the suspect pushed the victim and punched her in the chin."At the time of the alleged confrontation, Powell was wearing a T-shirt that read: "Pro-God, Pro-Gun, Pro-Life, Pro-Trump." Powell told KOMO that the suspect shoved her and "pushed her back."Powell then allegedly told the woman, "Don't touch me." "And then, not even a second, she just popped me right in my chin," Powell explained. The suspect told police, "I pushed her away, and then put my hand to her chin." Jennings attempted to get between the two women, and she was also allegedly assaulted. Jennings said the elderly woman punched her in the chin and "slammed" her jaw shut. The Trump supporters did not need medical treatment for the alleged attack. However, Powell said she hasn't been able to go back to work yet because she's "still kind of in shock." The Edmonds Police Department said the suspect was "very animated and even attempted to push an officer while demonstrating how she had acted."During the investigation, police said the suspect "continued to show no remorse for the incident and the potential to continue her behavior toward others."Officers established probable cause for a hate crime arrest. KOMO reported that the suspect has not been charged, but a judge found probable cause for a hate crime offense and two counts of fourth-degree assault on Tuesday.The 82-year-old woman was booked into the Snohomish County Jail. Edmonds Police Chief Michelle Bennett stated, "The constitution protects peaceful rallies in our community, and community members should never be met with violence while exercising those rights. Our officers properly determined that this was more than just an assault and arrested the suspect for the appropriate charge."Mayor Mike Rosen said, “I’m disheartened that this violence has occurred in our community. Elections are an important part of society, and freedom of expression is the foundation on which democracy is built. Community members peacefully showing political support should not be subject to hateful violence. I’m thankful there were no serious injuries, and the suspect was held accountable.”Powell said the alleged physical incident will not deter her from publicly supporting Trump. "He got shot by a bullet, and he said ‘fight, fight, fight,’ I got a little jab in my chin, so I'm not sitting down," Powell said, making a reference to the Trump assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania in July.The Edmonds Police Department said it did not release news of the arrest until after the election was over so as to not stir up more political tensions.

David Plouffe, a senior adviser to Vice President Kamala Harris, deleted his X account after posting a parting shot at President Joe Biden's campaign amid infighting and finger-pointing following Harris' landslide defeat by President-elect Donald Trump."It was a privilege to spend 100 days with [Harris] and the amazing staff led by [Jen O’Malley Dillon] who left it all on the field for their country. We dug out of a deep hole but not enough. A devastating loss. Thanks for being in the arena, all of you," Plouffe said on Wednesday.It was the line "we dug out of a deep hole but not enough" that has added fuel to the raging fire between staffers for Harris, Biden, and former President Barack Obama.'This is straight up BS.'"Reacting to Plouffe’s tweet, one Biden-world source called Plouffe a 'sanctimonious a**' — another said ''I find this so unproductive. Joe Biden is the President of the United States and won with out you. He successfully beat Donald Trump — something he never did,'" Fox News senior White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich reported.The blame game between the camps is starting to play out in leaks to the mainstream media."There is no singular reason why we lost, but a big reason is because the Obama advisers publicly encouraged Democratic infighting to push Joe Biden out, didn’t even want Kamala Harris as the nominee, and then signed up as the saviors of the campaign only to run outdated Obama-era playbooks for a candidate that wasn’t Obama," a Biden side source told Politico.Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) criticized the Democratic Party for abandoning the entire working class, not just white voters, saying the out-of-touch positioning Democrats took on things like the economy doomed them this election."This is straight up BS. Biden was the most-pro worker President of my life time — saved Union pensions, created millions of good paying jobs and even marched in a picket line and some of MVP’s plans would have fundamentally transformed the quality of life and closed the racial wealth gap for working people across this country," Democratic Party chairman Jaime Harrison said in response to Sanders on X."There are a lot of post election takes and this one ain’t a good one," he added.Like Blaze News?

Plenty of things will kill you, but one will do it the quickest, and since August 1945, that’s been nuclear weapons. Climate change? Sure, it’s a concern. But the climate has been changing since Noah loaded up the ark. If we’re talking about what could literally wipe humanity off the map before we even get to debate the weather, then we’ve got to deal with the nukes first.Donald Trump was dead-on in his appearance on "The Joe Rogan Experience" that nuclear disarmament is crucial, and he understands that every dollar we pour into foreign conflicts could be better spent protecting what we’ve got here at home.Seek peace, be strong by practicing restraint, and use what we have to build up our communities.The truth is that our foreign policy today is more about profit than patriotism. You’ve got the Federal Reserve churning out funny money like there’s no tomorrow, funding wars that fill the pockets of fat cats who’ve never seen a battlefield. The most decorated Marine in U.S. history said it best: “War is a racket. Always has been.”Fiat dollars are no longer backed by the decades-long exclusive use in the oil trade. These increasingly borrowed dollars fuel military-industrial schemes that create more conflict than solutions. Defense contractors rake in billions while average Americans watch their tax dollars go up in smoke — sometimes literally — thousands of miles away.In several recent cases, we’ve seen a meme come to life before our eyes as Israel launched U.S.-made missiles to intercept Iranian drones and Hezbollah rockets that were effectively paid for with fungible U.S. dollars released by the Biden-Harris administration.Psalm 135 says it plainly: When you worship gold and silver, you lose your soul and your reason. In our case, it’s worse, because at least gold and silver have inherent value. Fiat money is worth less than the paper it's printed on, except to those who put their faith in it. I’m not saying every Democrat is worshiping a golden idol in his or her basement, but a foreign policy that constantly chases profits abroad looks a lot like a false god to me. By prioritizing war over peace and intervention over independence, the left has handed over the treasury to the corporate media and many bad actors within the military-industrial complex, both of which profit from every bomb dropped and every soldier and sailor deployed. This is a bipartisan problem in Congress, but there’s an unmistakable, stark policy difference between Harris and Trump that will be decided this week.Our first step out of this mess? Elect leaders who see the whole picture, who understand that de-escalation should be our top priority but that we must also be strong and secure at home. We need folks in office who put American lives and well-being ahead of corporate interests and war contracts.Trump’s call for nuclear restraint, and a foreign policy that prioritizes our own soil over endless foreign wars, is one we’d do well to heed. He has talked about these ideas for the better part of a decade. What I’ll be hoping and praying for is that he has, in fact, learned from his first term about the importance of hiring the right people to enact his vision of U.S. foreign policy and not warhawks like John Bolton.But for the long haul, it will take more than a president with a responsible foreign policy. As a nation, we need to stop chasing false gods, whether they come in the form of cash or influence, and start asking ourselves what Jesus would have us do. The answer is as old as the hills: Seek peace, be strong by practicing restraint, and use what we have to build up our communities. That’s how we may save first our country, maybe the world, and also our souls.
