Now that President Trump is picking his cabinet and immediate staff to insulate him from the poor judgement of the Bureaucratic Class, while moving quickly to transition this Constitutional Republic unto a wise and sustainable direction: What is your immediate impression as to how our nation will prosper?

57.14% We are headed toward a Golden Age in America's self-governed society.

0% This will all wind up in a clustered mess since Trump is a Fascist, and thought to be the second coming of Adolf Hitler by our best journalists.

Youth vote in France swings to populist / nationalist anti-immigration right

Voters between 18 and 24 in France are swinging heavily to the populist / nationalist anti-immigration right according to a new poll from the prominent European polling firm IPSOS. Polling for the upcoming election for the EU parliament election later this year found a nine point gain among young voters for Marine LePen's anti-immigration National Rally, putting them in first place among young voters, and thirteen points ahead of President Macron's globalists who were in second place.

Among young voters, an even more strident populist / nationalist anti-immigration party, Reconquest, had 3% of the youth vote and the traditional conservative Les Republicains had 6%. The National Rally was at 31%.

National Rally's 13 point lead over Macron's globalists among the youth vote matched the results of another poll that gave National Rally a similar 13 point lead over Macron's party among all voters.

Since younger voters have historically trended more toward the left, this trend shows how much the immigration issue has impacted younger voters. One remembers Churchill's famous quote that "if you are not a socialist at 20, you have no heart; if you are not a conservative at 40, you have no brain."
