The Last Days of 'Macronism': Elections Show How Deeply France Has Changed
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited
by Oleysa Orlenko

[REGNUM] The dissolution of parliament, intended by French President Emmanuel Macron as a way to shore up his shaky position, has proved disastrous for him and his supporters. The president has been outflanked by his opponents. There are rumours in political circles that he might resign. During the short election campaign for members of the National Assembly, the profound socio-cultural changes that have taken place in French society over the past 20–30 years were revealed.

Replacing Biden Improves Dems Chances
[Townhall] Consequently, the only question we should be asking regarding Biden’s removal is this: Would Biden’s removal at the top of the ticket help Donald Trump get elected President of the United States? It’s that simple, and the answer is simple as well. No, removing the weakest candidate Democrats have run since Walter Mondale does NOT help Trump get elected. In fact, replacing Biden with almost anyone would almost certainly HURT Trump’s chances, which is why so many Democrats are in panic mode to make this happen.

Before the debate started last week I tweeted this: "Should Trump have waited to debate Biden until both are formally nominated? If this is a massacre and ends in Biden being replaced, it would be one of the biggest political miscalculations in history."
Some at the Burg suggested this was part of the Obumble playbook.
Given how things have played out so far, it seems that agreeing to a debate this soon was a mistake, albeit an honest one. We shouldn’t want Biden - Trump’s best shot at winning - replaced on the ticket, and we shouldn’t help Democrats right their ship by lifting a finger to make that happen.

#1  cough...Senator Thomas Eagleton..."I back him a thousand percent". How did that work out?

Funny how projection works. Scream the other side is out to destroy 'democracy' then ignore the very democratic process to put the man's name on the ballot. They had their opportunity to allow challenges and shut them down from the start of the year.

Donald Trump ally Steve Bannon says the 'Maga army' is revved up and ready to secure a second term
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Longtime Trump ally Steve Bannon
…a busy man, he started out in the US Navy, made his nut in investment banking, then while executive producing films for Hollywood he cofounded Breitbart, which he stepped away from to manage Donald Trump’s2016 presidential campaign. He did other things in between, but those are the highlights…
says the 'MAGA army' is working to secure the ex-President's victory over Joe Biden and his return to the White House.

Bannon is scheduled to report to a federal prison in Connecticut today to serve a four-month sentence
just until the election is over
on contempt charges for defying a subpoena in the congressional investigation into the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol.

The former White House chief strategist says he is not concerned about serving time during the crucial stages of Donald Trump's campaign, telling the BBC that the Republican's supporter's 'can't and won't stop until final victory'.

He also implied that he will continue to help Trump's campaign while he serves his sentence, though it is not clear how he plans to do so behind bars.

'I've served my country now for the last 10 or so years focusing on this,' Bannon told the broadcaster of the MAGA movement. 'If I have to do it in a prison, I do it in a prison - it makes no difference at all.'

Bannon, in an interview with the BBC, said 'I'm ready to go' and 'I'm all set up' as he prepares to serve his prison sentence.

He intends to broadcast a final episode of his War Room TV show and podcast - which he describes as a 'military command centre for MAGA' - from outside the prison gates today before turning himself into authorities.

Bannon reiterated that his show will remain on the air while he serves his sentence, alleging he has arranged for other hosts to present the program alongside his regular contributors.

He remains confident that Trump will be re-elected in November and said he is sure the GOP candidate from 'day one' will work to 'stop the invasion' of the US border and start the 'mass deportation of 10 to 15 million illegal alien invaders'.

He claims the former President will then focus on the economy, retaining the tax cuts from his first term which largely benefited corporations and wealthy individuals.

Bannon claimed Trump would then end the 'forever wars' in Ukraine and Gaza, but did not explain how he would do so.

He also shared that a second Trump administration would target the former President's political enemies, especially those who were involved in the criminal proceedings against Trump.

Additionally, Bannon argued that it is 'impossible' for Biden to win re-election in November and warned that neither he nor the 'MAGA army' would accept the results if he did.

The remark comes after he recently told a revved-up crowd of Trump supporters the the upcoming election will result in 'victory or death'
