Numbers Don't Lie Politicians Do, Election Helps GRB, Trudeau Scandal
Numbers Don't Lie Politicians Do
While the election results surprised most, the results pretty much came in line with the error in polls I commented about numerous times about the previous two elections. There is always bias for Democrats in the polls and when you take out that approximate 4 point bias you have a big Trump win. That's why I commented a number of times that if Trump was about even or ahead some it meant he was actually ahead a lot.
The Democrat strategy of just trying to create an anti Trump faction that would than vote Democrat failed miserably. Think about this, a man that allegedly led an insurrection on the White House, was twice impeached, had dozens of criminal charges and survives two assassination attempts wins the Presidency. There has never been anything like this, something is wrong with this scenario and the people just said it is not Trump. In fact, Trump made the greatest presidential comeback since 1892.
How did Trump win with the Democrats and all their media shills calling him racist, a woman hater, evil, another Hitler. However his support among Blacks and Latinos almost doubled swinging away from Democrats. And he gained a lot with women voters too.
Trump managed to whittle away at a 23-point gender gap in 2020, in which women supported Biden by a margin of 57%-42% and men favored Trump by 53%-45%, to a 22-point gap in 2024. This year, women voted for Harris by a margin of 54%-44% while men supported Trump 54%-44%, according to an NBC News exit poll. What is more revealing it was really just Black Women that voted Harris, 92% of them while an actual majority of White Women voted Trump, 53%.
The Trump comeback and win was historic in many regards, the comeback noted above, sweeping all battleground States, first time a Republican won the popular vote in 20 years, the first convicted felon to win the presidency and at 78 the oldest to be elected president (beats Biden by a few months).
It is astonishing. It was also the first time in U.S. history, more independents voted than Democrats in a presidential election, Reuters reported.
Trump focused on things that were issues with many voters while Harris's campaign failed on many fronts. I watched a number of her rallies and interviews and I can't think of 3 policies she stood for, it was basically an extension of Biden policies that were unpopular with a majority of voters. In fact when asked if she would do anything different than Biden, Harris responded 'nothing comes to mind'.
Democrats/Harris did not take policies seriously, it was more important that Trump was a bad man. Many say that Trump annihilated Harris simply because she was worse than Biden.
Democrats have gone way too far left and the majority wanted no more of these far left woke policies, open borders, climate scam, more tax and regulation. Well at least other things were more important, especially inflation and the economy that most blame Biden on. Harris had a chance to make a shift on economic policy but instead her campaign focused on hiring celebrities and have concert like rallies that certainly did not sit well with the majority.
I saw this that summed it up well. Republican voters were called garbage.......Now those same people just took the garbage out.
These far left and Democrats are bewildered and I expect they will do the wrong thing going forward. MSNBC's Joe Scarborough was baffled, saying "This is the biggest red wave I’ve seen since Ronald Reagan’s 49-state victory in 1984."
CNN's Jake Tapper was shocked that Kamala Harris did not outperform Joe Biden in a single county (though actually she did so in a few, but sill a very very dismal performance).
Now the left is passing out the blame game when they really need to have a deep look into the party and what it represents. I believe they will continue with their proven failed policy because they believe in it too much themselves. They are trying to push an agenda on people that they want and can benefit from instead of representing what the people want.
I wonder if the far left and media shills will keep up with Trump bashing like the past 9 years. It would be a very very dumb to do and would only prove how incompetent they are or just over run by emotion. You can bash Trump all you want and it won't change a thing, he is here for 4 years and after that he can't run again so what good does it do to continue Trump bashing. The left has to come up with a new strategy because if J.D. Vance, the Vice President is the next Republican leader, he will be far stronger. Vance would be like the good Trump policies without the hated personality.
The best news is the Trump win is a sweep, although it is not official, Republicans will win the house, so importantly this means no election disputes going into 2025.
Like it or not and interesting is for the first time Trump can focus on doing the job instead of fighting his enemies. He has more experience and this time he will drain the swamp and ensure loyal people in all the government posts. It also looks like RFK Junior will get his way to clean out the FDA, CDC and all the corrupt health agencies. I heard big Pharma is in panic mode and the top 5 held an emergency conference call this week. Are you smiling?
Another important fact came to light in the election. Where did Biden's 81 million votes from 2020 go? They simply vanished into thin air. Biden got about 81.3M votes in 2020 and Harris only 69.1 in 2024. Where did these 12 million votes go?
It was not to Trump because he got 74.2 million in 2020 and actually a little less this time at 73.4 million. So Trump had a huge win and won the popular tally too - with less votes.
It is obvious to anyone with a clear and open mind that all those missing Biden votes were simply fraud. The 2020 cases on election fraud were all won by Democrats because it was all on technicalities not one case was heard or argued. I don't think the courts wanted to be involved.

Puerto Rico's current US Federal Resident Commissioner in Congress, Jenniffer Gonzalez Colón, has won 2024's election to become the next Governor of Puerto Rico. Luis Baco, JD, LLM, Chief Counsel for Greenbriar in Puerto Rico and the future President of Greenbriar in Puerto Rico commented Nov., 6th:
"With almost 90% of the vote counted, she defeated her closest opponent by nearly 10% of the votes cast. Gonzalez Colón ran on a platform that prioritized energy resilience and the reconstruction of Puerto Rico's obsolete power grid. Luis Baco, who is chief counsel to Greenbriar, is a longtime friend of the new Governor and served as Gonzalez Colon's Chief of Staff during her first term as the Federal Resident Commissioner."
Politics has always been the big drag in Puerto Rico in getting things done and in particular the power grid. This will change now big time. Well hopefully Gonzalez acts on what she said.
Ms. Gonzalez is a life-long Republican with support of the new President-Elect. Ms. Gonzalez and the new President-Elect have full voting determination on selecting and/or replacing members of the FOMB (Financial Oversight and Management Board) .
Final approvals for Sage Ranch could come at anytime now and Greenbriar is certain to get the final green light for their solar project in Puerto Rico in 2025. Next year is going to be a very good one for the company and shareholders. I believe there is still a large shareholder to sell in the market yet and the stock is around a resistance area that will hopefully provide some stock for us to buy around these prices.
Another Trudeau Government Scandal
It is unbelievable, there is so many scandals I can't keep track. I have no doubt this is the most corrupt democratically elected government in world history.
The Canadian government awarded billions of dollars in contracts earmarked for Indigenous enterprises without always requiring bidders to prove that they were First Nations, Métis, or Inuit, a recent Global News investigation in August has found.
The PSIB’s program minimum requirements stipulates that Indigenous peoples must have 51 per cent ownership and control of the business.
The alleged schemes include a non-Indigenous company paying an Indigenous-identifying person to pose as its owner or using an Indigenous company as a front to access the PSIB. Indigenous leaders and organizations have warned federal officials about the “shell companies” taking advantage of the PSIB for many years.
Beginning in 2022, the Trudeau government ordered federal workers in up to 96 departments to begin purchasing at least five per cent of all goods and services from Indigenous businesses. Contracts awarded to Indigenous businesses skyrocketed from $100 million in 2018 to $1.6 billion — 6.3 per cent of all eligible federal spending — in fiscal year 2022-2023, boasts a recent government report.
Worst yet, one of Trudeau's ministers is directly involved. This scandal has been out there for a couple of months but just came back in the lime light this past week. Federal Employment Minister Randy Boissonnault says a company he once co-owned did not have his consent when it claimed to be indigenous-owned while bidding on federal contracts.
His comments came after the National Post reported on Nov. 7 it has obtained documents showing that Boissonnaut’s former business partner, Stephen Anderson, described Global Health Imports Corporation as a “wholly-owned Indigenous and LGBTQ Company” when bidding for a contract to supply face masks in 2020. In the last year, Boissonnault has faced three probes from federal Ethics Commissioner Konrad von Finckenstein for his role at Global Health Imports.
More fraud on contracts as the federal public works department has recently identified seven instances of fraud in federal contracting, with one official saying it would be “inconceivable” for more cases not to surface in the coming months.
All seven cases have been referred to the RCMP since 2022 she said, which was first covered by Blacklock’s Reporter.
The cases usually involve subcontractors who falsified time sheets and inflated invoices, Deputy Minister of Public Services and Procurement Arianne Reza said.
There has been more Trudeau government problems that have recently come to light, but I will stop here for now. One could write a book on this topic.
