The 2016 Presidential election results (remember them?) were a vindication of four people:
First, the incomparable Pat Buchanan, who ran for the presidency three times on an America First platform, championing the ideas that ultimately propelled the Trump campaign.
Buchanan was a propheta man of foresight, courage, and vision who loved his people and delivered a warning that went unheeded. Trump had the benefit of running in light of the damage and wreckage that Buchanan predicted.
Second, Samuel Francis, editor, columnist and essayist who long predicted the rise of Middle American Radicals, a phalanx of dispossessed white working-class voters yearning for a populist tribune. Third, Steve Sailer, who has repeatedly argued that the GOP can still win national elections by maximizing the white vote. The Sailer Strategy was the playbook the Trumpists implicitly followedin 2016. Fourth, Ann Coulter, whose book Adios America seems to have been read in Trumps orbit and provided much of the rhetorical ammunition for his immigration agendain 2016.
But four years later, pending the outcome of legal challenges raising legitimate questions about irregularities, anomalies and possible election fraud, we sit on the precipice of a Joe Biden presidency.
Joe Biden! A man who is arguably senile, when not convinced he is really Neil Kinnock, who ran a McKinley-style campaign from his basement in Delaware and who plans to open Americas borders.
What happened?
Here Im relying on Fox News/ Associated Presss analyses of voting behavior, which can be contrasted with its 2016 exit poll data. I have to say, though, that the data is much-disputed and is definitely subject to revision. But given its methodology and sample size, the data produced by Fox/AP appear to me to be the most accurate for now.
Republicans have been crowing about their alleged success in expanding the partys demographic base in the 2020 election. But the GOPs advance among racial minorities was more than off-set by marginal but decisive decreases in the white vote.
Quite a few in the commentariat, including some who should know better, are claiming that Trump is creating a multi-racial working class party that threatens to undermine the Democratic Party. But they are not reckoning with the fact of Trumps losses in the Rust Belt or the reasons for them:
1) Despite much chatter to the contrary, Donald Trump did not win a larger share of the black vote in 2020.

I attended a Buchanan rally in San Diego with the intention of donating $500 to his campaign. Earlier that day Pat was on the local radio speaking rhetorically about bringing pitchforks to D.C. and run the scoundrels out. That night a friend and I went to the rally and I was armed with an old rusty pitchfork and $500 bucks to support Buchanan.
I was immediately accosted by the secret service and threatened to be shot unless I dropped the pitchfork. Standing about 50 feet behind the govt goon was an elderly woman with a pitchfork. (I guess I'm like a little old lady). So I asked the nice man if he intended to shoot the old woman behind him after he shot me. He lightened up a little and told me that I could reunite with my pitchfork on my way out. The $500 I had intended to donate was refused because it was cash. (Probably for the best).
In my view these people play their roles in making it appear that there is a Constitutional Government (there's not) and are acting Gatekeepers like most of the pundits on radio and Tel-Avi-Vision. There will not be a noticeable change until the people themselves make a stand in a very public manner that may have to be so massive as to shut D.C. down, and if the swamp creatures remain aloof, then we may have to get physical.
Trump has done more to restore Constitutional application of laws even though the establishment is butt-hurt and using every tactic ever employed by the criminal element in D.C. Both parties are guilty and so are all Americans that think the government is there to babysit their kids, pay for their phone, create their vaccines, tell them where they can smoke or even mandating seat belts and health insurance. Americans from all sides of the political landscape better try to understand that the founders of this country were way ahead of the average American in political thought and that danged old Constitution with the help of Almighty God is the only means of salvation from the communist threat that is attempting to impose its will right now in OUR COUNTRY !

During one of Trump's rallies in 2016 there was a guy in the crowd hollering, "Israel did 9-11!"
Trump said, "He's on our side."
After the "dancing Israelis" were released they returned to Israel and were being interviewed on Israeli TV. One of them said, "We were there to document the events."
How did they know there were going to be "events"?
Israeli foreknowledge smells to high heaven. ;)

Makes it hard for me to place any trust in Giuliani.

Its not just Democrats that indulge in voter fraud. Republicans figured out how to jimmy the computers before the Dems did.

Trump got millions more white votes than they claim. Trump's white vote was higher than reported because Jews are mistakenly counted as white. And millions of white votes were stolen. The article is nothing but lies.

there are a number of posters here who will call BS on anything which is not a donnel praise and worship service post; they are easy to spot: they post donnel praise and worship articles.
