The big question is whether the Le Pen women can win after the socialists pulled their candidates out of the race and endorsed the conservatives.

[Psalm 144]

As in this country though, the socialist and the establishment conservative simulations are on the same side. Overtly. The fake right and the sincere left are teaming up against the patriot FN.

After Algeria was turned over to the leftists, many of the colonists came back to southern France and would fuel the membership of the National Front in its earlier years

Have met quite a few of these people. The Pied-Noir French have not forgotten DeGaulle's treachery against his own, and are determined to keep France for the French.

They are not "surrender monkeys" as I have seen so many times here.

Results will come in very quickly, we will know minutes after the polls close at 2 Eastern Time. We may tease the French about this or that, but they have an incredibly efficient voting and tabulating system, takes them 20 minutes to count everything. (Helps that the whole country is in one time zone).

And, according to my brother-in-law (French), you MUST present your photo ID.

Back in the 1980s, Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, and John Paul II all appeared on the world scene at the same time. They saved much of the West.

Could that be Donald Trump, Marine Le Pen, and Viktor Orban today?

(Orban is the Hungarian Prime Minister who defied the EU, and immediately put up a border fence.)

The only thing holding the FN back is their founder, Marine Le Pen’s dad, was a definite anti-Semite. So the Jews of France (and others) feel like between a rock and a hard place.

The anti-Islamization attitudes are actually significantly greater in France than what the results will show, due to many refusing to identify with a party that has a nasty past. Nontheless, whatever the result, FN is now the largest party in France, even if the Socialist-Republican (Sarkozy) temporary alliance defeats them.

I was in Guadeloupe (which is part of France) last week and there were election posters everywhere.I think that a good percentage of the island's population is black (or,at least,”non-white”) but many of the posters were from that Party and featured faces that were snow white.I was struck by the fact that none of the posters were defaced in any way as you see here with Republican Party posters.

[Mariner]

Early results are not good:

"Ifop estimates point to a large margin for Xavier Bertrand against Marine Le Pen (57.2% to her 42.8%), suggesting left-wing voters have rallied en masse behind the conservative candidate to keep the FN out."

So far it looks like the FN has not picked up a single region. This "strategic voting" between the Republicans and the Socialists is just plain filthy.

But, those who think the FN monster has been slain are in for great fear and loathing over the next 5 years.

Sarkozy is not the answer.

I hope so
