Mainstream media was sure enough of Donald Trump’s defeat before the third and final debate that moderator Chris Wallace could not avoid asking him that condescending question. “Will you accept results on November 8?”
He retorted confidently, “I will tell you at the time.” Nobody knows what would have happened if Donald Trump had lost the election, but one thing is sure since November 8: Hillary Clinton supporters do not concede her defeat.
Obama legacy is in tatters
President Obama has violated presidential election customs.
First, he gave in public his negative opinion on the Republican candidate. Worse, he did it at an international conference (G20 summit) when he reported that heads of state and governments were alarmed.
Secondly, he and his wife Michelle, and vice-president Joe Biden have campaigned overtly for the democrat candidate. Obama repeatedly said that Trump was unqualified. He still thinks he is after their meeting at his urging at the White House on November 10. Press Secretary Josh Earnest told reporters that Obama’s unfavorable opinion has not wavered a bit. Therefore, Obama duplicity is confirmed by his Press Secretary despite his hypocritical friendly gesture in front of cameras.
A troubling parallel between Louis XV reign and Obama two-term presidency
President Obama is playing golf whereas civil unrest is growing alarmingly through cities, including Portland, Oregon, Los Angeles, California, and New York City. Cars are vandalized, shop windows are smashed, and a car-driver beaten by a mob in the streets of Chicago is filmed by his hilarious assailants.
Historians have depicted Louis XV as one of the weakest of the Bourbons, a do-nothing king who left affairs of state to ministers while indulging in his hobbies of hunting and womanizing. French debt, which went out of control under his reign (1715-1774), was the detonator of the French revolution in 1789.
On January 20, 2009, when Obama was sworn in, the national debt was $10.626 trillion. Today it is $19.78 trillion. The federal debt to gross national product ratio is 104%. Congressional Budget Office director Keith Hall said in 2015: “Government debt threatens to send US economy into death spiral.”Obama has never broached that issue. His only concern was to increase budget and debt ceiling. Obama makes his own Louis XV famous quote “Après moi, le déluge” (after me, the flood!) The quotation was attributed to the king’s mistress madame de Pompadour. Unlike Bill Clinton, Obama has no mistress at the White House. It is a scant consolation for 43% American taxpayers!
Flat tax versus progressive tax
57% Americans who don’t pay income tax are not at all concerned. Mitt Romney lost the 2012 presidential election because he singled out these free-riders. Donald Trump tax policy will not fix that enduring discrepancy between taxpayers and free-riders. The solution is FLAT TAX, which is still a cuss word in socialist America. Russia and other Eastern Europeans countries who suffered Communism have established the flat tax. It has stopped the demagogy of unending federal budget increase and debt ceiling.
The Obama profligacy is the privilege of US dollar, which has replaced the British sterling in international transactions in the 1920’s. Nothing is eternal in a fast changing world.

The New York Times apologized for their biased reporting during the campaign and promised fair coverage and ever since they publish at least three anti-Trump articles and editorials every day.
Today they attack Bannon relentlessly, making him sound real scary.
Liars!
I wrote in the conclusion of my last article entitled “media culpa?”
“When aristocrats returned to France after Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo, Belgium, on June 18, 1815, Secretary of State Talleyrand said, “They had learned nothing and forgotten nothing.”
I was mislead by your “media culpa” NYTime is still anti Trump and antisemite. Sorry, I will cancel the abonament !!
Mon cher Bernard Matoïa,
Je réponds en français, cela m’est plus facile. Surtout pour parler de l’histoire de France. Quand Bonaparte, puis Napoléon prit les rênes de la France, ce qui marqua les esprits fut qu’il raya les émigrés de la liste des émigrés et que nombreux revinrent en France qui servirent l’empire. En effet, les irréductibles demeurèrent hors des frontière et servirent même comme Jomini les puissances étrangères.
Ce sont ceux-là et non “les aristocrates” en général qui n’avaient “rien appris et
rien oublié”.
“57% Americans who don’t pay income tax are not at all concerned.”
Please, please, please…
Almost all countries have VAT; the US has sales taxes.
Most countries that aren’t oil emirates have very significant taxes on gasoline. Only electric car can “free-ride” the roads.
Etc.
“Historians have depicted Louis XV as one of the weakest of the Bourbons, a do-nothing king who left affairs of state to ministers while indulging in his hobbies of hunting and womanizing.

Unfortunately, this opinion, as many others currently fashionable, doesn’t hold water. No king, even more confident in himself and less wary of shedding the blood of his subjects than king Louis XV, could have stopped the “Age of the Enlightenment” as they say. Maybe such a strong monarch could have postponed the catastrophe by a few decades, but eventually it would have happened.
And contrary to the abominable Mr. Obama, Louis XV loved dearly his country and his countrymen and would do anything to preserve its identity, the territorial integrity, its security & its prosperity, instead of conspiring to make it conform to his own sick myth and by the same token, destroying it.
Obama fait ses adieux à ses amis européens (mamie Angela en particulier pour accueillir tant de musulmans en Europe sans l’accord des pays d’accueil).
Il tente aussi de les rassurer après leur avoir dit que Trump ne serait jamais élu président.
Enfin, les manifestations tournent en émeutes à travers les villes de son pays. C’est ce qu’il voulait pour rendre la situation incontrôlable à son successeur qu’il déteste tant.
Après moi le déluge !
