It took weeks to observe the behavior of one and a half dozen precious, but very short-lived, atoms of these exotic elements.

It was not official that Donald Trump would win the presidential election during The Daily Show’s live taping on Tuesday night on Comedy Central, but the writing was on the wall as the assembled cast struggled to deal the news as the guy with the bleep button got a workout. First there was Troy Iwata, who was playing the role of a reporter at Trump’s headquarters and who was also dressed in a garbage bag, “The mood here is also very tense, Jon. People are really sick of all the positive signs and just want to find out the results so they can start the insurrection.” Host Jon Stewart acted confused, “Wait, Trump seems to be doing well.”     Iwata answered, “Yeah, they don’t care. Win or lose, these people are going to take a shit on Nancy Pelosi’s desk again.” The biggest meltdown of the night came about 23 minutes later as Stewart began, “Obviously, look, it's been a long road to the election. To get a better sense of our national mood, we turn to Desi Lydic with analysis of all the results that we've seen so far tonight.” Lydic replied, “Thanks, Jon. [Bleep].” Again, Stewart played the role of the straight man, “We don't—okay. But we don't have all the results in, so—”     This time, the bleep button guy was a little slow as Lydic ranted, “Well, so far we have the F and the C and the K and the ‘All y'all’ so I'm going to go out on a limb and project a U and fuck all [bleeps].” Stewart again played the role of the optimist, “But there’s still information to come in.” Lydic mocked the idea, “Oh, it's too close to call. Kamala is up in Iowa. I don't want to hear another pollster or James Carville from some subterranean basement in his LSU Tigers hat going, ‘I don't see how she can lose! Now let me just finish my gumbo and’ -- [multiple bleeps]!” As the segment ended, Lydic reached for a bottle of wine and declared, “I'm going to get started on my Project 2025.” Despite playing the part of the level-headed host, Stewart was anxious. Thankfully for him, the pie-in-the-sky lieutenant governor of Michigan, Garlin Gilchrist II, was there to cheer him up. Gilchrist painted a rosy picture of Kamala Harris’s chances, leading Stewart to ask him, “I've got to tell you something, sir. On a night where I'm looking for some positivity and some good news, you have brought it, my friend. You have brought it to me. You’ve given my heart a lift, you've made me feel good. I want to ask you, how is this even close in Michigan?” He further asked, “Donald Trump called for a ban on all Muslims traveling to America and then goes to Dearborn and he's getting big votes in the Arab American community, all these different things. He's partnered with Elon Musk, who might be one of the bigger threats to Detroit's automaking industry. How is this so close?”     Gilchrist’s optimist required he not answer the question, “Well, let's take a deep breath, you know, the—still coming in, take a sip of water, we’re going to be okay. But look, I'm a Detroiter. Like, I was offended by what Donald Trump said about me as a Detroit voter... I've been talking to black men all across the state of Michigan in Detroit, in Flint, in Saginaw, and Grand Rapids, all across our state, and what I'm hearing from them is they are ready to be part of the future and they don't want a president who insults them.” If there is one good thing that can be said about Jon Stewart, it is that while he desperately wanted Harris to win, he did not go down the path that led other liberals to worry that Tuesday’s election results mean democracy is over. Stewart played a number of clips from the aftermath of the 2012, 2016, and 2020 elections to make a point that the post-election conventional wisdom that surrounds the losing side has proven to be wrong time and time again. Trying to buck up his despondent liberal audience, he concluded, “My point is this: [Bleep]! But this isn't the end! I promise you, this is not the end, and we have to regroup, and we have to continue to fight and continue to work day in and day out to create the better society for our children, for this world, this country that we know is possible. It's possible. That's our show for tonight. Tune in tomorrow, Desi Lydic will be your host.” If this not being the end is good news for liberals, based on Tuesday night’s performance, Desi Lydic hosting Wednesday’s show is good news for conservatives. Here is a transcript for the November 5 show: Comedy Central The Daily Show Presents A Live Election Special With Jon Stewart: Indecision 2024: Nothing We Can Do About It Now 11/5/2024 11:03 PM ET TROY IWATA: The mood here is also very tense, Jon. People are really sick of all the positive signs and just want to find out the results so they can start the insurrection. JON STEWART: Wait, Trump seems to be doing well. IWATA: Yeah, they don’t care. Win or lose, these people are going to take a shit on Nancy Pelosi’s desk again. … 11:26 PM ET STEWART: Obviously, look, it's been a long road to the election. To get a better sense of our national mood, we turn to Desi Lydic with analysis of all the results that we've seen so far tonight. DESI LYDIC: Thanks, Jon. [Bleep].  STEWART: We don't —okay. But we don't have all the results in, so— LYDIC: Well, so far we have the F and the C and the K and the "All y'all" so I'm going to go out on a limb and project a U and fuck all [bleeps]. STEWART: But there’s still information to come in. LYDIC: Oh, it's too close to call. Kamala is up in Iowa. I don't want to hear another pollster or James Carville from some subterranean basement in his LSU Tigers hat going, "I don't see how she can lose! Now let me just finish my gumbo and" -- [multiple bleep]! STEWART: We’re going to check back in on you, Desi. LYDIC: Well, you make it quick because I'm going to get started on my Project 2025. … 11:40 STEWART: I've got to tell you something, sir. On a night where I'm looking for some positivity and some good news, you have brought it, my friend. You have brought it to me. You’ve given my heart a lift, you've made me feel good. I want to ask you, how is this even close in Michigan? Donald Trump went to Detroit and said “this place is a hole.” Donald Trump called for a ban on all Muslims traveling to America and then goes to Dearborn and he's getting big votes in the Arab American community, all these different things. He's partnered with Elon Musk, who might be one of the bigger threats to Detroit's automaking industry. How is this so close? GARLIN CILCHRIST II: Well, let's take a deep breath, you know, the—still coming in, take a sip of water, we’re going to be okay. But look, I'm a Detroiter. Like, I was offended by what Donald Trump said about me as a Detroit voter. My wife, when they tried to call for a riot to stop the vote counting in 2020 he would talk about my wife's vote, my neighbor’s vote, my vote. So, I took it very personally and so do people across the city of Detroit. So, that is why the organizing effort has been so inspiring to see people step up, to see, you know, black men, you know, don't believe the hype for people trying to run and find black men who were hesitant.  I've been talking to black men all across the state of Michigan in Detroit, in Flint, in Saginaw, and Grand Rapids, all across our state, and what I'm hearing from them is they are ready to be part of the future and they don't want a president who insults them. They don't want a president who can’t see their potential success, they don’t want a pessimistic patriot, they want an optimistic patriot, and that's what we have in Kamala Harris and Tim Walz and Elissa Slotkin to be our next United States Senator, so that’s the team we built in Michigan and I’m proud to be part of it. … 11:58 PM ET STEWART: Which led to an insurrection in the lesson from that was-- JOHN HEILEMANN: When Donald Trump leaves office on Wednesday morning he will leave Washington a pariah. LAWRENCE O’DONNELL: Donald Trump will never be allowed to set foot in the capital again. Never. STEWART: Ever. My point is this: [Bleep]! But this isn't the end! I promise you, this is not the end, and we have to regroup, and we have to continue to fight and continue to work day in and day out to create the better society for our children, for this world, this country that we know is possible. It's possible. That's our show for tonight. Tune in tomorrow, Desi Lydic will be your host.

President Donald Trump long cautioned supporters that they needed to turn out in such numbers that the election would be "too big to rig." The American people obliged him, turning most of the map red and ensuring that the 45th president of the United States would become the country's 47th president as well. Not only is Trump expected to surpass 310 Electoral College votes, having won all seven key battleground states including the state where he was shot by a would-be assassin, he is also set to become the first Republican to win the popular vote in 20 years. The liberal media, having made clear in advance that this was not the outcome they wanted, are not handling things well — especially not CNN talking head Van Jones. Midway through what appeared to be a breakdown, Jones suggested that transvestic minors and illegal aliens are going to wake up scared and that black women are in for "a lot of hurt." CNN panelist David Urban, who served as senior adviser to Trump's other successful presidential campaign, told Jones, "We need to recognize that over half of America feels very strongly about the things that Donald Trump feels strongly about: a secure border, the economy, crime. They might not like — he might not be a perfect messenger, but the message resonated." 'We're not garbage.' "Democracy is a luxury when you can't pay your bills," continued Urban, referring to the democracy-themed concern-mongering that Democrats leaned into in recent months. Urban said that the multitudes of Americans who supported Trump are now sitting back, sneering at "the elite" and saying, "''We told you so. We're not garbage. We're hardworking people. We believe in these things,' right? People don't like to be talked down to." The Republican noted further that the coalition whose members found resonance with Trump's message was racially and ethnically diverse. According to CNN's exit polls, 45% of Hispanic voters, 38% of Asian voters, 12% of black voters, 55% of white voters, and 53% of voters from other racial or ethnic groups cast ballots for Trump. 44% of Americans 18-44 voted for Trump, and 51% of Americans 45 or older did likewise. 60% of Catholics, 71% of Protestants, 19% of Jewish Americans, and 42% of Americans from other faiths voted for Trump. 64% of military veterans supported Trump. 49% of voters making less than $50,000 a year voted for Trump, while 48% voted for Harris. 54% of Americans with no college degree and 41% of Americans with a college degree voted for Trump. 54% of first-time voters cast ballots for Trump. 44% of voters from union households cast votes for Trump. Rather than engage with Urban's point about the diversity of the coalition behind Trump, Jones focused on the disappointment of certain voters that their racial identity would not be partially reflected in the person of the president: There are African-American women who know a little bit about being talked down to and know a little bit about their economic dreams being crushed, who tried to dream a big dream over the past couple of months. And tonight they are trading a lot of hope for a lot of hurt. They were hoping that maybe this time, this time, one of their own could be seen as worthy. And once again they are facing rejection. According to Jones, "it's going to be harder than it should be tomorrow for [black women] to hold their heads up." 'Stooges will be stooges.' The talking head suggested that extra to disappointed identitarians, Trump's win is a "nightmare" for parents of cross-dressing youth and for foreign nationals violating American immigration law. "If you are a parent of a trans kid, your child's face was used as a springboard to power for somebody," said Jones, intending his remarks as a barb against Trump, not the physicians who profit wildly off so-called "gender-affirming care" procedures on kids. "That doesn't feel good." "There are going to be people tomorrow who are going to be handing clothes at the dry cleaners who don't have papers," continued Jones. "There are going to be people who are going to be cleaning your teeth tomorrow who don't have papers, and they're terrified tonight." The multimillionaire stressed that it's "not the elite who are going to pay the price. It's people who woke up this morning with a dream and are going to bed with a nightmare, and those people didn't deserve to be respected and held and talked to. Those are the people going to pay the price for whatever Donald Trump decides to do." Molecular biologist Dr. Richard H. Ebright of Rutgers University later responded to Jones' rant, "Stooges will be stooges. Especially the stupidest among them." Jones was far from the only talking head finding it difficult to cope after it became clear that Harris had no chance of eking out a win. Cenk Uygur of the Young Turks, for instance, suffered a meltdown reminiscent of his response to Trump's 2016 electoral victory, this time attacking Democrats for delivering "loss after loss after loss."

Nevadans not only helped re-elect President Donald Trump Tuesday but took a meaningful step toward bolstering the integrity of future elections in their state.With 86% of the vote counted, Decision Desk HQ indicated that ballot Question 7 had received 73.5% of the vote in the Silver State, with only 26.5% of voters signaling opposition.Question 7 effectively asked Nevadans whether they wanted to join the other 36 other states in the union that require or request ID to vote. Those voting by mail would have to provide the last four digits of their Nevada driver's license number or Social Security number.Presently, Nevada voters have to show identification only in rare situations, such as when registering to vote by mail after not previously voting in an election for federal office in the state.'This victory is a powerful message.' Repair the Vote PAC, the campaign that pushed the initiative, argued that voter ID laws are essential because they prevent fraud, enhance public confidence, and protect democracy. "Every citizen needs faith that the election process is fair and accurate. A big part of that is to verify the identity of every voter, just as companies verify the identity of the person getting on an aircraft, checking in at a hotel, or cashing a check at a bank. When voters lose faith in the process that drives elections, they also lose faith in the outcome and in the legitimacy of those declared the winners," said the group. A voter ID requirement would also be another check against noncitizen voting.The rebuttal offered in the state's ballot question guide suggested that a voter ID law would be a remedy to a nonexistent problem that would somehow be racist, reducing "turnout among underserved communities and communities of color, making it harder to have their voices heard at the ballot box."Now that Nevadans have delivered a clear answer to Question 7, it will appear once more on the ballot in the 2026 midterm election. If it is approved once again, the Nevada Constitution will be amended to require photo identification for voting.Dave Gibbs, the chairman of Repair the Vote PAC, said in a statement obtained by the Nevada Current, "This victory is a powerful message from Nevadans who believe that secure elections and transparent voter identification strengthen our democracy."Like Blaze News?

Every now and then a component comes along that just nails the brief, without you having to add a big disclaimer to the end of your recommendation. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 did it (before it sold out), the Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 did it, and now the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D has done it in quite spectacular fashion. After the lackluster Zen 5 launch, AMD has pulled out all the stops with this new gaming CPU, fixing the app performance of the 7800X3D, and making its new chip even quicker in games. Is this latest AMD chip the new best gaming CPU? In a word, yes. Not only does it leave Intel Arrow Lake in the dust, but it's also notably quicker than its predecessor, especially in application software, but also in games. I've tested this new X3D chip in several games over the last couple of weeks, while also putting it through its paces in video encoding and rendering tests, and it's a genuinely great processor.
