Trump reportedly has told Putin to not escalate his war in Ukraine.

That should stop the war in 24 hours (like Trump during the campaign said he would if and when he becomes president-elect).

Trump hasn't signed ethics agreements that are needed to establish a smooth transition.

Allan Lichtman is receiving death threats after wrongly predicting Harris would win.

Two attempts were made to break into his home.

It probably didn't happen to Lichtman in the pre-Trump error. He could end up like Paul Pelosi who was attacked by a Trump supporter who fractured his skull with a hammer.

In addition to his model failing to predict the winner in the 2024 election, seemingly by not adequately capturing the public's new type of mindset in the Trump era where fantasy is reality, Lichtman needs to learn that the U.S. mindset has changed recently in other ways, such as physically attacking innocent people because something didn't go their way.

 

At least Nancy Reagan and Barbara Bush met for tea.

Represented in sketch comedy, it didn't go too well.

Trump's quest to deport undocumented people will raise grocery prices even higher.

So will Trump's quests to drive interest rates to zero, expand his trade wars, and cut energy costs in half.

It will be many dollars chasing a more limited supply of goods.

 

Trump selects Fox News host for defense secretary.

Trump says he is nominating Fox News host Pete Hegseth to be defense secretary

excerpt:

"Hegseth was an infantry captain in the Army National Guard and served overseas in Afghanistan, Iraq and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. He was formerly head of the Concerned Veterans for America, a group backed by conservative billionaires Charles and David Koch, and he unsuccessfully ran for the Senate in Minnesota in 2012."

 

Trump has chosen John Ratcliffe to head the CIA.

 

Alvin Bragg agrees to delay ruling in Trump hush money criminal case to assess impact of the election.


Alvin Bragg, in Surprise Move, Agrees To Delay Ruling in Trump’s Hush Money Case To Assess the Impact of the Election

excerpt:

"Trump’s team cites the delay secured from Judge Tanya Chutkan by Special Counsel Jack Smith at the District of Columbia. Trump’s lawyers venture that the special counsel is “reportedly considering dismissing” his cases related to the storage of documents at Mar-a-Lago and election interference. The former president’s attorneys maintain that dismissal “is warranted here.”

The president-elect’s case for dismissal cites two precedents. The first is Trump, whose ruling not only granted official acts presumptive immunity but also limited the kinds of evidence that could be marshaled against a former president. The second is the Presidential Transition Act of 1963. Trump appears to be arguing that a prison sentence would throw a wrench into his ability to move into the White House."

 

Trump won FL in 2016 by 1.2%

He won FL in 2020 by about 3.2%.

He won FL in 2024 by about 13%.

 

The Miani-Dade area has gradually deteriorated for Democrats since 2016.

Harris became the first Democratic presidential candidate to lose Dade County since Dukakis in 1988.

excerpt:

"After winning just 32% of the Hispanic vote nationwide four years ago, Trump captured 45% of the crucial electorate this year, exit polls show. The shift was even more apparent among Latino men; Trump won just 36 percent of those voters in 2020, but captured 54% in Tuesday’s election."

 

Lots of Jewish votes in the Miami area.

 

Jack Smith reportedly will step down before Trump takes office and not leave any significant part of his work for others to try to complete.

He has no national-level service, only 44 years old, doesn't have decades of experience with inter-service activities and relationships.
