New in PJ Media:
Yes, they still hate you.
Old Joe Biden is still ostensibly the president of the United States, and despite his striking cordiality to President Trump during their Wednesday meeting, that is a bad thing. The Biden-Harris regime is the most corrupt and authoritarian administration that the United States has ever suffered through. Biden-Harris apparatchiks have repeatedly demonstrated their contempt for the U.S. as a free republic and the concept of a loyal opposition, most notably by framing the leader of the opposition on multiple bogus charges so that they could tar him as a “convicted felon.” On Wednesday, they showed that even on their way out, they’re as vindictive, and as dangerous, as they’ve ever been.
The New York Post reported Wednesday that “the FBI seized Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan’s phone and electronics early Wednesday morning — just a week after the election-betting platform successfully predicted President-elect Donald Trump’s win.” The raid was as theatrical and histrionic as the raid on Mar-a-Lago was: “The 26-year-old entrepreneur was woken up at 6:00 a.m. in his Soho home by law U.S. enforcement officers who demanded his phone and electronics.” Why show up at 6 a.m.? Why demand Coplan’s phone and electronics? Whatever this was about, was it really necessary to treat Shayne Coplan as if he were armed and dangerous?
Apparently, the answer is yes, because Polymarket had the audacity to represent accurately the electoral groundswell for Trump. The Post quoted a source calling the raid “grand political theater at its worst,” and adding sensibly: “They could have asked his lawyer for any of these things. Instead, they staged a so-called raid so they can leak it to the media and use it for obvious political reasons.”
Even worse, the feds didn’t even tell Coplan what it was all about. He was “not provided any reason for the incident, but the source said they expect it is political retribution since Polymarket accurately predicted Trump’s win – not traditional polls.” The raid is likely a prelude to more political persecution: “The government is likely trying to accuse Polymarket of market manipulation and rigging its polls in favor of Trump.”
The corrupt and viciously partisan Biden-Harris FBI appears to be enraged because Polymarket’s projections proved to be more accurate than those of the traditional polls. The Post’s source said: “This is obvious political retribution by the outgoing administration against Polymarket for providing a market that correctly called the 2024 presidential election.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

Has Kash Patel officially been named to head the FBI? I can’t wait for January 20th, when Christopher Wray is out, and Patel starts a purge of the FBI. It’s soooooo overdue!

Mr. Trump has already stated that he intends to clean up all of the agencies…except the doe, which he intends to dismantle.
Of course, those who have been running amok and playing fast and loose with the law, say he’s ‘out to get them’ dictator style; and are trying to make the house cleaning look bad.
Dave says
The next couple of months are going to be tough, I think. Biden, Inc., meaning the socialist/communist/fascist Left, is desperate. They know Trump is going to clean house this time. He was a newbie during his first term. During that term and over the past four years, though, he has seen exactly how dirty they play and he is much better prepared, I think.
Trump has appointed people who are not affiliated very much with the swamp in D.C. and therefore are less likely to deviate from their mission.
If things go well, I think we will see a lot of the redundancy and duplication of jobs curtailed. We’ll see the government trimmed down as duplicate jobs or unneeded positions/agencies are eliminated. Who knows, maybe we’ll even see some of the notorious ‘elected’ inside traders, in our government get what’s coming to them.
Will President Trump be able to do all of this in the next four years? Time will tell, but the socialist/communist/fascist Left and their supporters going to fight him tooth and nail every single day.

Just one more example of what a horrible man and wretched President Joe Biden has been. He has no honor, no virtues. As for the FBI, it needs to be completely reformed or abolished; it’s become a Gestapo-like government entity (yes, sometimes comparisons to Nazi Germany are justified).

Wellington, your comment is an illustration of the saying, “If the shoe fits,”
The goose-step stomping has been getting louder and louder.

Polymarket Predicted Trump’s Victory, and Now the FBI Has Raided Its CEO’s Home
………………………………………….
So now it’s against the law to run an accurate poll, if the result displeases the left? Ugly stuff…
Keys says
We couldn’t have all the polls showing Trump well ahead only to have Harris win, could we? Better to have them neck ‘n neck, then a Harris win would not look suspicious. The non-citizen votes must not have been enough to over take the Trump vote.
Months and months of wasted expert media blabber about the polls, while ignoring real world news.
Fake news! Fake polls! Fake President! Fake Vice-President!
somehistory says
Yes, Keys, the media kept telling us that the “polls show”….and then another “polling shows”…
Some of them would say Trump was ahead by half a percentage, then the hyena up ahead…again. Like you say, so when she won, it wouldn’t appear cheating had been going on…like the last time.
And they still keep analyzing ‘why’ she lost., pointing fingers at everyone except her unlikability and the constant lies. Still in power for a couple of months….who knows what all kinds of slimy dealings are in store.
Keys says
Thank you for your reply, somehistory.
Regarding the “slimy dealings” in store:
I am praying that the Trump team will anticipate and deal with them all – before and after Inauguration.
somehistory says
Prayer works, Keys.
James Lincoln says
Keys,
Probably good that the mainstream media was pushing the idea that the race was very close.
I think that it may have helped to mobilize Trump voters.
