On French TV During Election Night, One Lone CNews Guest is Not Unhappy to Discover that Trump Is Ahead


Before appearing on France24 later in the day, RIF's Paul Reen headed over to CNews on Wednesday morning at 5 am (11pm on Tuesday on the East Coast) for a special Élection présidentielle américaine. The president of Republicans in France appears at 1:03:03.

Dès minuit dans la nuit du 5 au 6 novembre 2024, CNEWS vous plonge au cœur de l’élection présidentielle américaine, avec l’annonce des premiers résultats de ce scrutin historique qui oppose Donald Trump à Kamala Harris.

In Brussels, Voices Rise at QR le débat as Trump Show Reaches Record Viewership

At RBTF's QR Le Débat, voices rise concerning la Victoire de Donald Trump aux USA : qu'est-ce qui va changer ? But hard for a conservative to get a voice in, without interruptions. The show is only visible in Belgium, but you can download it at https://www.swisstransfer.com/d/6f697374-beb7-42ae-ac46-fce12e6aecc9 (only for your personal perusal, kindly refrain from sharing publicly) or check it out their Facebook page. À part le discours de Kamala Harris, ont été évoqués des sujets comme les LGBTQ et l'économie européenne lorsque Trump sera à la Maison Blanche.

Victoire de Donald Trump aux USA : qu'est-ce qui va changer ?

81 min | Publié le 06/11/24 | Disponible jusqu'au 06/11/2025

Le retour de Donald Trump à la Maison Blanche est-il une bonne nouvelle ? Les médias occidentaux diabolisent-ils trop Donald Trump ? Quel avenir pour la guerre en Ukraine avec Donald Trump au pouvoir ? Quel avenir pour le conflit au Proche Orient avec Donald Trump au pouvoir ? Risque-t-on une troisième guerre mondiale ? L'élection de Donald Trump est-elle bénéfique pour l'économie européenne ? Faut-il craindre un recul des droits de l'Homme aux USA (avortement, protection des minorités...) ? Donald Trump a-t-il raison de vouloir durcir le ton en matière d'immigration ? Voici ce dont Sacha Daout et ses invités discuteront dans cette nouvelle émission.

Le jour d'après, nous recevions cet email :

 … un petit mot sur les chiffres, car ils ont été excellents : notre émission a en effet touché près de 200.000 personnes, toutes plateformes confondues, soit près de 20% de parts de marché... Un record ! Par ailleurs, "QR le débat" a également été leader d'audience durant toute la deuxième partie de soirée. Preuve de la très bonne santé de notre émission et de son rayonnement. Cette belle visibilité est évidemment due à la transparence des prises de positions et à la clarté du débat dans son ensemble. Nous vous remercions pour cela.

CONSERVATIVE POST DELETED! Google's Blogger Again Deletes One of No Pasarán's Posts, this Time an In-Depth Election Day Article


That didn't last long! It's starting again. Haven't the mainstream media and the social media learned anything?! Two days after the election, the people over at Google's Blogger — well, at least one of their self-appointed "fact-checkers" (sic) — have (has) once again deleted a post of mine, one in direct relation to the presidential election. 

More importantly, the post, Let's Stop Using the Words "Trump Tried to Overturn the 2020 Election" (It's Unprofessional Journalism), is one that I consider one of the most paramount ones of the 13,830 posts of the past 20 years.

Except when I say "deleted", I really mean deleted! What used to happen is that, for good reasons or ill, they would put a problematic post in Revert to Draft mode. Although no longer visible to the public, it was there, for you the blogger, to read — and eventually to correct, per the express wishes of the Blogger Team. Since last November, at least, they simply delete posts outright.

Emails with the details were sent to you and all affected posts have been reset to "Draft" status (you may find them by selecting "Drafts" on the "Edit posts" page for each of the affected blogs)

Actually, every single time I have sent a counter-claim — which is every time — the post has been restored. But what about when, instead of reverting to draft, it simply vanishes, not only from the Blogger command post?  They write that

You may re-publish the posts with the offending content and/or link(s) removed.

Yo! Google Team: How can you do remove the offensive content and/or links when the post, along with all its contents, has been entirely deleted and removed?!

Besides, you do not always get an email, but simply the following notice, without any further indication of which post they are talking about, much less how recent or how old it is.

This post was unpublished because it violates Blogger Community Guidelines. To republish, please update the content to adhere to guidelines.

Needless to say, there is all the insidiousness in destroying all the work that went into a text and a post

Fortunately, because of various screw-ups and SNAFUS — which I have detailed in my previous Note to Google Blogger (My Controversial Post on Blogger Was Not Reset to "Draft" Status; It Was Entirely Removed) — I have come into the habit of making copies of articles that would seem problematic to a "tolerant" leftist, one who is "open to debate and to discussion."

The post I wrote — which is one of the longest and which I consider one of the most important of the 20 past years — had appeared before — on various sites — and I therefore printed it several times over the past 15 months, always remembering to update it with new material.

The shortest version appeared in August 2023 (Stop Using the Words "Trump Tried to Overturn the 2020 Election"; It Is Akin to Asking "When Did You Stop Beating Your Wife?").

I have been working on adding to and updating it ever since, and this led to a much longer version appearing on American Thinker just before the January 6 anniversary in 2024 (Let's Stop Using the Words "Trump Tried to Overturn the 2020 Election"). 

And the longest version — Let's Stop Using the Words "Trump Tried to Overturn the 2020 Election" (It's Unprofessional Journalism) — after 10 more months' of work, notably on religion in the last part of the article, appeared two days ago on election Tuesday. Within a day or two, it had been flagged — probably by a some self-appointed Instapundit monitor who clicked the Instapundit hyperlink — and it was gone.

FYI only: Below is the email I received from Blogger yesterday:

The Best Summary of Trump's MAGA Campaign — in 4 Snapshots

Best summary of Donald J Trump's campaign
(Meilleur résumé de la campagne de Donald J Trump)

Highlighting No Pasarán piece on Philippe Karsenty's TRUMP2024 X post, "neatly epitomized in four snaps" (via Damian Bennett)

Our first field report for election day hails from Duncan in Greenwich, Connecticut:

I voted this morning at 8:30. There was an awesome turnout. Not just the usual people on their way to work. There were mothers with little children tagging along, seniors, etc. A good mix.

What interested me most was that some people, like myself, were in a great mood. Others were the opposite. I wondered if this was a reflection of the candidates they were voting for? They lost their joy? Of course, there are always sour-pusses in any gathering. But, this felt different.

MAGA!

Shamed, Smeared, and Slurred — The real question in this election is simple: do you want leaders who hate you or leaders fighting for you?


Like many of us, David Strom is Tired of 'Leaders' Who Hate Me, He points out that 

the election is really a referendum about whether experts should run things or people. 

"Experts" and the "transnational elite," for my purposes, amount to the same thing. These are the people who create the Narrative™ that can convince people that masks work, that schools should be close, that experimental vaccines should be universally mandated, and that bureaucrats should run the world. 

They are the people who will look a mother who can't afford groceries or pay her rent in the eye and insist that the economy is excellent. They tell us the border is secure, that crime is down, and that the evidence before our eyes is wrong because they have statistics that we should believe instead of experience. 

Those "experts" hate us, because we don't believe them. 

Dissent is not allowed, and if you think for yourself you are a "bitter clinger," or a Deplorable, or a "fascist," a Nazi, or Garbage, or anti-American. 

Americans should comply. We should watch Morning Joe, The View, and listen to moronic celebrities because they have been given the talking points from experts. 

They lie. They commit hoaxes. They engage in brainwashing campaigns. They overtax us, ban things we want, force us to buy things we don't, tell us not to eat meat, that truth is "misinformation," and weaponize our credulous neighbors against us. 

The irony is that the left hates liberal Americans almost as much as they hate us. They pat them on the head, work them up, applaud the temper tantrums, and value their votes. But you don't hoax your friends. You don't dump illegal aliens in their neighborhoods, You don't deny their children a chance at a decent education. If the head of the Chicago Teachers Union sends her kid to a private school, she has contempt for the people she claims to love. 

The root of the problem is that the transnational elite who run things and control the media hate you and me. They say it often enough, although they refrain from admitting that they hate all the proles.

 … The real question in this election is simple: do you want leaders who hate you or leaders fighting for you?

In From ‘Clingers’ to ‘Garbage’—Why the 16 years of Vilification? adds that

The Democratic top dogs are most likely to embrace agendas that never garner 51 percent of public support—vast reductions in gas and oil to lessen “climate change,” open borders to welcome in the world’s needy, the government promotion of a third, transgendered sex, abortion on demand without restrictions, the reifications of various critical (race/legal/penal/modern monetary) “theories,” and radical changes in the current system (ending the Senate filibuster, the Electoral College, the nine-justice Supreme Court, the 50-state union, etc.).

Two truisms stand out about the elite boutique agenda: one, when these theories are implemented—often by the courts, and the permanent and unelected administrative and bureaucratic state—the architects of such experimentation do not really feel the inevitable deleterious consequences.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, the Silicon Valley masters of the universe, the professors of law, the corporate CEOs, and the Bill Gates of the world really don’t care much whether gas is at $3 a gallon or $6, or Romex wire is $39 a spool or $150.

Illegal aliens do not go to their children’s schools or crowd the offices of their concierge cardiologists and oncologists, much less dump trash on their streets and curbs.

They are strong supporters of teachers’ unions, despising the very idea of charter schools and homeschooling. And yet they send their children more often to private schools where students are not the lab rats of the public school system.

Their ideology is the fruit of their privilege and so is often more utopian and abstract. Given that if it results in economic, social, and cultural damage to millions, they will certainly avoid the ensuing flotsam and jetsam.

The fallout from defunding the police falls upon the inner city, not the privately patrolled Presidio Heights or the secluded sorts in Martha’s Vineyard.

Given their income and status, the new Democratic credentialed and moneyed classes do not care about the struggle of others to live one more day, clinging to the middle-class vestiges of their parents’ era. Instead, for the anointed who have transcended the fear of not filling up their tank or coming up short on monthly rent and power bills, it is not hard to mandate job-killing EVs or to chuckle over biological boys in girls’ locker rooms and pride flags flying from the abandoned American embassy in Kabul.

 … the struggling middle classes … are conservative in wanting a secure border, legal-only immigration, affordable food and energy, safe streets, and equality of opportunity rather than of result, because they have no margin of error, lacking the wherewithal of secure home zip codes, or the perks of gargantuan grocery bills at Whole Foods, or a new foreign car every two years.

Such conservatism is reflected in the worldview of the clingers and irredeemables. They accept not cosmopolitism but 2,500 years of nationhood that remind them there can be no nation without borders.

There can be no modern comforts and security without access to affordable food and energy. There can be no public society without safe streets—and indeed, not even public places without sanitation and common decency.

 … These chumps, fascists, and garbage people … are deaf to the top-down sermons from an Al Gore, John Kerry, the Clintons, the Obamas, or Joe Biden, which assume the grubby majority is either too ignorant or amoral or both to know what is good for them and so must be shamed, smeared, and slurred rather than won over by argumentations and persuasion. Is not the 2024 election about just that—the haughty who sermonize and those weary of being lectured?

 … Yes, the semi-fascists are lectured that they are racist, sexist, and xenophobic. They are damned by the credentialed as “white privileged” who “rage,” as they dutifully go off to Iraq and Afghanistan to die in combat at double their numbers in our demographics.

 … Finally, the unspoken irony of this divide is that the self-professed elite know that they are not the elite by any definable standard or meritocracy. Yale gives a higher percentage of A’s on spec to its students than do trade schools and junior colleges.

    Big Tech platforms had shockingly frank internal conversations about their efforts to sway the 2020 presidential election, even stating explicitly they wanted to be on the good side of a Biden-Harris administration, according to communications released by the House Judiciary Committee days before an election in which mainstream media are promoting censorship of conservative voices.

    , providing the clearest evidence yet that tech platforms understood their role inevitably paved the way for the Democratic ticket.

  • “We’re Not Going To Allow Them To Steal It”: Rep. Raskin (MD-D) Repeats Trump-like Reservation On Accepting Election Results (Johathan Turley) November 2, 2024
    On Bill Maher’s HBO Show on Friday, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) appeared to repeat his reservation about accepting a Trump win in the presidential election. Raskin said that Democrats will only support a “free and fair election.” Trump was widely criticized for the same position when he said “If everything’s honest, I’ll gladly accept the results.”
    Raskin previously said that he would not guarantee certifying Trump and that, if he wins, he may be declared as disqualified by Congress: “It’s going to be up to us on January 6th, 2025 to tell the rampaging Trump mobs that he’s disqualified. And then we need bodyguards for everybody and civil war conditions.”

We are here because we are fighting for a democracy. Fighting for a democracy. And understand the difference here. Understand the difference here, moving forward. Moving forward, understand the difference here.

    [This is a 'taint' endorsement. Spencer wants to elevate his own visibility with a sensational nod to KA-mala, not bring any benefit to H-W. Spencer also knows his endorsement is never sought because with it comes instant political discord.

[I wasn't going to post on this, but DH sent me the clip and now you must suffer with me. It's not funny as intended, but it is funny as meta-reality. The skit is like a cut & paste from the H-W campaign itself: it's banal word-spin that says nothing. SNL cannot successfully parody the H-W campaign, because the campaign is a parody of the Democrats' parody of 'saving democracy'.

Lizzie, Get Your Gun!
Before leaving the 48-hour craziness, a look at Liz Cheney spanked by DJT, and the ensuant hysteria. Ensuant? The hysteria jumped right out the gate. Here is the entirety of what DJT said at the campaign event in Glendale, Arizona

“I don’t blame [Dick Cheney] for sticking with his daughter, but his daughter is a very dumb individual. Very dumb, she’s a radical war hawk. Let's put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK? Let's see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face. They're all war hawks when theyre sitting in Washington in a nice building saying, ‘Oh, gee, well, let's send 10,000 troops into the mouths of the enemies,’ but she’s a stupid person and I used to have meetings with a lot of people and she always wanted to go to war with people.” 

The offending bit, highlighted in yellow, that bit is what was reported on and embroidered by ‘journalism’ . Below a sampling of the headlines it inspired. (🏴 = partial or mangled quote used.)
Now the great walkbacks and correx.
