Guest Post by Pat Buchanan
Still, this thing is not over. For, at this stage of the 2016 campaign, Hillary Clinton was showing equally impressive poll numbers, and she would go on to lose all eight of those battleground states in the greatest upset since Harry Truman defeated Tom Dewey in 1948.
“Apres moi, la deluge,” predicted Louis XV after his army’s stunning defeat by Prussia’s Frederick the Great at the Battle of Rossbach in 1757.
“La deluge,” the Revolution, came, three decades later, to wash the Bourbon monarchy away in blood and to send Louis XV’s grandson, Louis XVI, and his queen, Marie Antoinette, to the guillotine.
Donald Trump is issuing similar warnings for the republic if Joe Biden wins the presidency and Democrats capture the Senate. And the stakes, given the magnitude of the chasm that divides us, are indeed high.
The Democrats are out to remake America, and, 17 days from the election, a Democratic sweep remains a real possibility.
Early turnout is already at record numbers. According to most polls, Biden is ahead in almost all of the major battleground states — Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Arizona. To win, Trump must carry six or seven of those states.
In national polls, Trump is further behind, in some by double-digits, reflecting the mammoth Democratic majorities in populous and deep-blue California, New York and Illinois.
Still, this thing is not over.
For, at this stage of the 2016 campaign, Hillary Clinton was showing equally impressive poll numbers, and she would go on to lose all eight of those battleground states in the greatest upset since Harry Truman defeated Tom Dewey in 1948.
Can Trump repeat the miracle of 2016?
Perhaps. When it comes to energy, excitement, enthusiasm and a capacity to bring out crowds of loyalists, even in this the worst of pandemics, Trump is unrivaled.
When Trump calls, his followers come. Not in living memory has there been a president who could bring out such vast crowds with such consistency as Donald J. Trump.
By contrast, Biden’s meager gatherings seem to evoke as much excitement as a seniors bocce ball tournament.
His appearances, reading from teleprompters and spewing canned attacks written by others, produce polite applause. Rarely does a day goes by that Biden does not mumble and misremember something or lose his train of thought.
The essence of the Biden campaign is the avoidance of actual campaigning. And it has worked. On some days, the campaign “puts the lid on” — has no more news events today — by 9 a.m.
The question this has raised is no longer whether Joe has “lost a step” — few deny that — but whether he retains sufficient mental acuity to be a decisive leader of the free world for the next four years.
Two weeks out, however, voters seem not to care, or rather not to care enough to reject the Biden-Harris ticket.
The issue has been Trump. And the imperative for the president and his campaign remains to persuade the nation of several truths:
Biden is not physically or mentally up to the job. He will not be able to stand up to the radicals in his party who have extensive plan to enact in the next two years and a real possibility of doing so.
If Biden wins, they will insist that the Senate do what Barack Obama told them to do: Abolish the “Jim Crow relic” known as the filibuster, and use 50 Senate Democrats to enact an agenda more sweeping than FDR’s New Deal.
Of what does that agenda consist?
To shift the goal from equality of opportunity in race relations to equality of results — in income, wealth, power. Reparations for slavery. Pursue the Black Lives Matter demand to “reimagine policing” and to “defund the police.”
On immigration, open an immediate path to citizenship and the ballot box for DACA “Dreamers.” End deportations. Grant amnesty to all 11 million to 22 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. Abolish ICE. Open America’s borders to new and higher waves of immigration to make America the most racially, ethnically, socially and culturally diverse society in the history of man.
Pack the Senate by extending statehood to Puerto Rico and D.C., adding four new Democratic senators and making us a bilingual nation.
Pack the Supreme Court by adding two new justices. Raise taxes on payrolls, personal incomes, corporations, capital gains and estates.
Accelerate an end to carbon emissions by halting all offshore drilling and ending any reliance for energy, on coal, oil, gas or fracking.
Free education for all from prekindergarten through college.
On and on the agenda runs. But again, without the abolition of the filibuster, a GOP Senate minority could block this agenda that is designed to create a new American nation unlike the one we have known.
No, this is not the French Revolution.
But nor is it the country that evolved over two centuries out of the American Revolution. The antifa and BLM radicals remind us of this as they go about smashing icons and statues of the men who brought the Christian faith and Western civilization to these shores and founded the republic that may now be fading away.

We’ve had enough rabbits to last a lifetime.
Pat Buchanan is a national treasure. He’s has exposed more lies and historical scandals than any other politically connected media figure in history. He dared call the death of the West via foreign invasion two decades ago and was publicly eviscerated by cucks and commies alike for doing so.
Death of the West
https://archive.org/details/DeathOfTheWest
And at risk of being labeled an anti-Semite , which he was, he exposed the blatant lie that Hitler started WWII and revealed in great detail the horrors the so called Christian nations visited on defeated and prostrate Germany during and after two world wars.
Churchill, Hitler, and “the unnecessary war” : how Britain lost its empire and the West lost the world
https://archive.org/details/churchillhitlert00patr_0
And he was one of the very few journalist of his era that dare overtly criticize Israel. Give a little credit were it’s due. Because today we have so much information available at the click of a mouse, we forget how what we now think of as mediocre was to Buchanan’s generation , too hot to handle. Buchanan’s a great statesman and the fact that he’s 82 and still able to see current events clearer than men half his age is telling of the great longevity of his superb intelligence.
Pat is a fossilized Crypto-Jew pretending to expose shit we already know.
He is a professional misdirection artist who pretends to attack fellow Crypto-Jews (and nobody ever gets seriously hurt).
A magic underwear wearing Mormon alien god cultist who never authored anything of value in his crazy confused life calling great historian journalist a misdirection artist. Now that’s rich.
Just like Rush Limbaugh, Pat Buchanan serves as a pressure relief valve. As pointed out, he ‘exposes’ things that are perfectly self-evident. Nothing he has ever written has changed anything. They want you to read Pat and congratulate yourself about how he is really tellin’ em! They want you to call Rush and comment on whatever self-evident, non-threatening blather he is presenting that day!
Just like these excruciatingly phony elections, these pastimes give the illusion that you, yourself, are participating in some grand coalition of resistance. They allow you to feel intellectually superior and learn-ed. This keeps you pacified and ensure that no alarmingly dissident activity will ensue.
Just like the whistle on your tea kettle ensures the pot won’t explode when the pressure gets too high. Hundreds of thousands of books are written, decades of hot air are expelled over the radio waves–and the Communists go right on winning and the White genocide goes on.
Appeals to Authority are the most Cringey of the logical fallacies.
Exactly.
Sorry Flash. He’s a hopeless romanticist helping to mislead millions of already mislead voters into believing we can restore Old Glory if we just stay the course and vote Red even if it makes you puke.

Well, pardon a staunch patriot who called the death of the West decades ago, for possessing a little hope that his nation might be saved. We all should endeavor to hold out hope for a reversal of the collapse we all see coming. God does work in mysterious way. Pray for the restoration of our Republic. You can do no more or less.
My peoples called the Death of the West when Pat was pissing in his diaper.
The mormontard romney write in vote will save us.
I’m not drawn to PB’s articles like a moth to a flame. It’s more like being drawn to the kitchen garbage can to see what the fuck stinks!!
Just a side note……21 of my youtube and websites have been taken down in the last 24 hours. Did anyone else notice POTUS at the NC rally saying he is going after these fucking commies running these sites?
LOL, do you believe him? He’s had 4 years and done nothing about censorship of conservative voices, well besides give big tech huge tax breaks and floods of cheap H1Bs.
We’ll see.? I’ve said it all along that these things take time. I know I know, WHEN?! If you can’t wrap your head around the scope of this operation then there is nothing anyone can say to convince you why the timing is so important. I’m not trying to be mean here. How long do you think Rudy G. took to build his case against the mob in NYC? Years!! And what he did is like busting a jaywalker compared to what is coming. It’s going to be Biblical.
Trust the plan.
WWG1WGA
Yeah, we’ll see. BTW, sorry about your sites getting taken down. Censorship sucks.
Dawg.
We don’t have that kind of time.
4 years ago it was “lock her up” and after the election “they are fine people who have given a lot to the country”.
Very entertaining. Some people are way too talented and have way too much free time.
Forget Lincoln.
Trump’s Corona-hoax freed the wage slaves.
Twilights last gleaming ! Should the Biden/Harris side win and democrats take the senate this republic is finished .
If President Trump could conceivably pull off a win after all the countless fraudulent votes cast we will be in a hot civil war .
Wow internal strife and all out civil war , our only chance to save the Republic GO TRUMP !
We were told that the Tree of Liberty would need to be fed from time to time. I think it is getting thirsty.
Get a life.
Get a life? Get some new material or give us all a fucking break. Same bullshit 2x in the same thread & you have the ballz to tell someone else to get a life? Dont you have multiple wives to service or something?
The republic was finished when all of the qualifications required to cast a ballot were reduced to just fogging a mirror, which in the case of the party of demonrats, was deemed too stringent and was not inclusive enough to allow the dead to vote.
It’s far too late to even hold out a glimmer of hope that a single rigged election cycle will somehow restore our former nation’s glory.
What we’re experiencing now is what Germany was faced with during the communist assault in the 1930s, only we have no brown shirts to defend us from the advancing scourge of vile, bolshevik mobs and their handlers.
America sits resting on its laurels, refusing to recognize the clear and present dangers of the planned totalitarian transformation, that’s coming like a runaway freight train.
Most were willing to sit back and let the change agents continue their destructive policies unabated, while America sang the praises of the those who actually hated this nation and its white inhabitants.
If you aquiesced to the language police and use the term “gay,” instead of the proper term of homosexual, sodomite, etc., then you have joined those who are the problem.
If you allowed your son or daughter to date or marry a person not of their lineage, or even give birth to a mongrel child, then you are part of the problem.
If you claim to be “conservative,” but vote for socialist programs, then you are part of the problem.
If you continue down voting those who bring attention to the woes that have befallen America and attempt to awaken those whites who, up until now, have chosen to ignore the gathering storm clouds now visible on the horizon, then you are part of the problem and will be swept away in the tides of change when the storm converges upon us.
Truth can be painful, but without it, we will continue to exist in the matrix of lies and deception that has been purposely created by our enemies to keep the more obtuse among you docile, subservient and stupid.
One only has to ask: Is this the America of my heart’s desire and does the indomitable American spirit of liberty and freedom still live on in the hearts and minds of its people? Only you as individuals can provide the answer. Submit or resist – Your time is coming swiftly.
Panzer.
Hear here(@mgm)
That one was downright poetic. You’re getting good at this.
Flea – thanks, I only hope that those who sorely need awakening can be kindled into action.
The deck is stacked against us and they’ve locked the doors of the casino. We are now precariously perched over the falls and in dire straits.
You old dogs will remember the early 70s(?) Commercial of the Indian crying as he looks out on the pollution across the US.
I feel like that crying Indian looking out over a different pollution across this country. I no longer recognize it as the country I was born in.
I remember that commercial. Just like the news these days it was fake, the Indian was an played by an Italian dude .
Iron Eyes Cody…the Sicilian Indian
But he DID have “high cheek bones” like the Cherokee; did he not?…
I was happily ignorant of that Indian being some Italian guy. You ruined it!
Chief Sitting Bullshit as I recall…
A friend was in Virginia last week driving through the countryside . He said everywhere he went there were Trumps signs,banners etc in the yards and in the fields. Perhaps this will be like 2016 were the Hildabeast was a slamdunk only to be slammed on her head .
The beltway controls VA these days. I’ll bet you can hardly find a Trump sign in Arlington.
Was on an adventure the other day & came back up thru Patrick Co. (SW VA) to see the first Biden yard signs ever in this race. There were more than a few. Nice houses, shitty little trailers, & everything in between. There were still more Trump signs. Neighbor against neighbor. Is it 1860 again?
The fake polls are trying to account for the democrat’s massive fraud.
It was huge in 2016, bigger in 2018, but in 2020 the fraud is going to top it all.
There’s not more than 30% of the population brain dead enough to vote for Biden so there are going to be no limits this year on the schemes pulled in democrat controlled polling locations.
More voting AGAINST Trump than voting FOR Creepy Old Joe.
The polls serve their purpose of letting them “find” ballots until Joe wins or to fire up their radicals if he cannot overcome the Trump lead.
Biden supports castrating 8 year olds.
Four years ago, the Democrats said that if Trump was elected, the world would end. It did not. Did Trump get everything he wanted to do done? No, but much of that was because the DNC, not able to get anything through the legislature, resorted to “legislating from the bench” to nail Trump’s feet to the floor.
What has the DNC to run on now? “I HAT TRUUUUMMMP!” That’s it. True, that may be enough to pull off a win, especially if coupled with the voter fraud that mail-in voting invites. Face it; on substance, the Donks have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
As for the polls… I think 2016 showed very clearly that polls only matter… if you’re Polish…
This is what you can expect with a biden win. Hypothetically speaking.
A modern version of the Star Trek episode “Pattern of Force”. Where John Gill is played by creepy joe and Melakon is played by kamahaha harris. She ends up “killing” joe, euphemistically speaking, but gets taken out by antifuks and blm.
Did you know that about 30% of folks at Trump rallies are registered DEMocrats? Have any of them ever been polled? I doubt it.
Why did that Skankacuntus grill Trump for 10 minutes yesterday on whether or not Trump supports White Supremacists? It’s because the Dems know the damned truth …. that blacks support Trump by at least double that of 2016! They are scared to death, so, they are doubling and tripling down painting him as a raaaaacisss! And it just isn’t working.
Maybe all those gun sales and folks stalking up on ammo will end up being a good idea. Guillotines are slow. I’ll deal with whatever comes my way as I see fit. Maybe like Y2K The fear-mongering will all be BS.
Don’t bet on the increased gun sales being indicative of a conservative awakening among new gun owners. If you look at some of the statistics on new record-setting purchases among first-time owners, it shows women and blacks showing the highest incidence of increased sales. Personally, I interpret this as a “cover your ass” reaction where people are looking at the social unrest from a personal perspective, not a political one.
I have almost all the hardware needed for self-defense. Any extra spent would be for ammo or special purpose SHTF use. Should things stabilize for a period you may see quite a few items come onto the secondary market at cheaper prices once the binge buying and hoarders/scalpers lighten their loads up for sale … but don’t bet on it too much.
Firearms and ammo is much like gold – an insurance policy. You can never have too much in an emergency, and when you do need it, it’s priceless.
Sounds like Trump just needs some of those Mormon Magic underwear to go for the big WIN.
