Populist AfD win in Saxony town is good sign for upcoming German elections | Eastern North Carolina Now
three eastern German states will vote in state elections next year
Three eastern German states will hold state elections at staggered times next year, and the polls have shown the parties of the right - traditional and populist - leading. Local elections are also held at staggered times instead of all at once, and those leading up to these state elections are being scrutinized for what they foretell about the coming state elections.
The most recent town election in Pirna in Saxony shows the populist right running very strong. Saxony has been a stronghold of the traditional conservative CDU since the fall of communism, and the CDU has also consistently governed Pirna. This election, however, the vote moved rightward and the CDU was displaced by the populist / nationalist anti-immigraion Alternativ fur Deutschland (AfD).
The race came down to a three way contest between three parties of the right, the CDU, AfD, and the populist / nationalist anti-immigration Free Voters. Most of the other big national parties endorsed the CDU candidate. When the votes were counted, the AfD candidate won with 38.5%, followed by the CDU with 31.4% and the Free Voters candidate with 30.1%. Between them, the two populist right anti-immigration parties received over 2/3rds of the vote.

Here is the latest poll results from the respected Forsa polling company:: CDU plus CSU 31&, AfD 23%, Social Democrats 14%, Greens 13%, Free Democrats 5%, Left Party 3%. On these numbers, the Left Party will crash out of the Bundestag completely and the Free Democrats are on the knife edge of doing so. The populist nationalist Free Voters, while strong in a number of states, have never been a factor in national elections. This chart also compares polling number with votes in the last election:

To watch that video of AfD leader Alice Weidel, you have to go to the Rumble link near the end of the post. The video insert at the top does not work. The link has English translation subtitles. Or here it is again: rumble.com

That video in the original post of AfD leader Alice Weidel is amazing. That lady really is on top of things, a female version of Donald Trump. She has the stones to make Germany great again.

Biden is just borrowing a trick from his role model, Putin, of trying to jail his main opponent. Putin did that to his main opponent, Aleksei Navalny and now Biden's minions are trying to do it to Biden's main rival Trump. Navalny has recently disappeared in the Russian prison system, definitely no longer at the camp he was at but nobody knows where he is now. Biden is similarly trying to destroy our democracy.
Using flim flam in the courts to keep opponents off the ballot is another PUtin trick that Biden is trying. Oh, and we actually have a four party system: Republican (R) RINO (R?-RINO) Democrat (D) WOKE (D-crazy) |

If your default position is one party rule then you're up a creek. America is now a 3 party system:
Democrat (D) Republican (R) MAGA (R-crazy) In order for things to week we have to respect that it will not always go our way. |

Sometimes the courts and the Democrats are not the same thing, but in this Colorado hatchet job, they WERE, Bolshevik Bob. The four justices who ordered Trump taken off the ballot are registered Democrats, appointed by a Democrat, and most tellingly all four are DEMOCRAT POLITICAL DONORS. The three justices who dissented and opposed taking Trump off the ballot are non-political, with no history of political contributions to either side. So the fair, impartial, and non-political judges went with Trump and the political hack partisan Democrat judges abused their power to try to interfere in the election. All four should be removed from office if not indicted.

Well, maybe Republicans ought to start excluding Democrats who encouraged or participated in the ANTIFA / BLM insurrection of the summer of 2020 and the more recent Hamas insurrection at the US Capitol. We can start with Nanvy Pelosi who made a speech before the insurrection even broke out that "I don't know why there aren't riots in the streets, perhaps there will be" and Kamala Harris who participated in bailing out BLM and ANtiFA insurrectionists to get them back onto the streets. Even here in North Carolina, we have a Democrat running statewide for the Council of State who is in photos and videos confronted law enforcement in Charlotte in the middle of that insurrection. What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. The Democrats may end up regreting opening this pandoras box, which has never been done previously in the history of our republic.
The stinky power politics behind this anti-demorcacy ruling in Colorado is illustrated by the fact that the head of the organization that brought the lawsuit is a Biden regime appointee at the Department of Homeland Security and has held a series of Democrat political appointments in Washington, DC dailycaller.com |

The comment on this Colorado political hatchet job from El Salvador's president is ironic. El Salvador used to be known as a banana republic while the US was a paragon of democracy. Now those roles are precisely reversed. Add to that the obvious fact that Colorado has a politicized kangaroo court for a "supreme court".

This column by the UK's largest daily newspaper sees a desperation move by the Democrats in this action against Trump by four Democrat Colorado Supreme Court justices.
www.dailymail.co.uk The only place where President Trump had any degree of due process on this claim of "insurrection" was in his second impeachment, and on those charges, he was NOT convicted in the Senate. There is therefore no valid basis for this contention. These four judges try to rely on the House January 6 Committee, but that was in the nature of a highly partisan Stalin Show Trial. Pelosi blatantly violated House rules by refusing to let the Republican House leader name the Republican members of the committee, and it was Pelosi who put two functional Democrats on as "Republican" members over the objection of the Republican leadership. That committee was always a politically stacked deck which did not allow for due process for President Trump nor indeed for House Republicans. Democracy is disappearing from America day by day. |

"Justice Carlos Samour took particular issue with how the proceedings unfolded. He argued that Trump hasn't been charged under a statute that would bar him from office for engaging in an insurrection, so he hasn't had the constitutional rights that would have been afforded him as a criminal defendant."

The election interference by those four ultra-partisan ward healers wearing black robes in Colorado is an assault on democracy.
El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele responded: "The United States has lost its ability to lecture any other country about “democracy”." |
