Will Présidente Le Pen have what it takes?

As France burns, the nation is gearing up for presidential elections in April next year. All the polls agree that the so-called far-right candidate Marine Le Pen will win. Media call her a hater who would persecute non-whites and turn France into a “fascist” state. This is typical lefty foolishness. The more victory seems likely, the less she sounds like the staunch patriot France needs.

France has a two-round presidential election. If no candidate gets a majority in the first round, the top two candidates fight it out in the second round. At this point, even in a crowded field, Mrs. Le Pen is likely to be top vote-getter, winning 34 to 38 percent, and going into the second round.

Here is how she would fare against the five candidates most likely to finish second.

On the left, against her weakest opponent, she gets 68 to 32 percent, and on the right, 56 to 44 percent against her strongest opponent. Mrs. Le Pen is on her way to the Presidential Palace.

But what will she do there?

Her father, shown here accepting a gift from your servant nearly 30 years ago, was always clear about France: “We are first and foremost, a European people of the white race of Greek and Latin culture and Christian religion.” He said immigrants are “potentially as dangerous as an army,” and that anyone who encourages this “immigration-invasion” is a “traitor.” He said that when you read crime reports, you wonder if there are any French people left in the country.

He never backed down, never apologized, and was repeatedly fined for “inciting hatred.”

His daughter Marine is not made of the same stuff. Even while Jean-Marie was running the party, she was back-pedaling. For the last of his five presidential campaigns, in 2007, she was in charge of political messaging.

To the astonishment of his supporters, she ran this campaign poster of a North-African girl — pink underwear peeking over the top of her pants — giving a thumbs down to both the Right and the Left who, she says, have wrecked everything. Le Pen to the rescue.

Mr. Le Pen got more votes every time he ran — except in in 2007 when Marine was in charge.

Her commentary on the riots has been, frankly, awful. On October 15 — in the midst of the chaos — she was asked on C News what she thought of reports that 46 percent of French Muslims and 43 percent of hard-left voters would consider leaving the country if she becomes president. “They are wrong,” she said. “It’s their country. They are French.”

French patriots were disgusted.

In the same interview, she was asked if Islam is compatible with the Republic. “Yes, Islam is compatible with the Republic. I’ve said it 10 times.” She said she just doesn’t want Sharia law.

Mrs. Le Pen has a pinned message on X, in which she says, “we are caught in a vice between violence and impotence.” The violence comes from the far Left, and the impotence is the Macron administration — as if burning down the country is just a matter of politics! The Great Replacement? Never heard of it.

To her credit, she did talk about “decades of anarchic immigration and everyone sees its consequences everywhere.”

And she also said part of the problem is “delinquents from the suburbs,” which means non-whites. But here is her big project for France: “We will return to a state that listens, understands, and decides.” What a blast of hot air! There’s no time for listening and understanding, and she should have decided long ago: Re-mi-gration!

As usual, it was Eric Zemmour, the French Jew of Algerian origins, who got it exactly right:

“What we have seen is the true face of the Great Replacement. It takes the form of hordes of black and North-African barbarians that go into the cities. It has its own flags — Palestinian, Algerian, Moroccan. It has allies — the antifa militia. It has its legal façade — the hard Left. It has its mode of operation — pillaging and violence. And it has its ideology — hatred of France and revenge for colonization.”

Mr. Zemmour will be running for president against Mrs. Le Pen, but his first-round polling numbers are at around 4 percent.

President Emanuel Macron is truly the village idiot of French politics. He said that any talk of an invasion by hordes of immigrants and Islamists comes from misinformation and false AI images,  with foreign leaders saying things that are “as stupid as they are inacceptable.” He meant Donald Trump, who had very sensibly written that France was being “conquered, looted, and burned to the ground by migrants, jihadists, and communists.”

But back to Marine Le Pen. I wish I could believe she’s just saying what it takes to get elected, and that deep inside, she’s Eric Zemmour.

No, it’s always the other way: People who sound tough, turn out to be wet noodles:

Boris Johnson in Britain, Giorgia Meloni and Silvio Berlusconi in Italy, Mark Rutte in the Netherlands.

Mrs. Le Pen already sounds like a wet noodle. But she will be better than that moron Macron.

And the lesson of France is not lost on others. Prime Minister Peter Magyar of Hungary wrote, “It is now clear to everyone why Hungary advocates the strictest possible approach to migration,” adding, “It is our responsibility to help preserve our continent as the most wonderful place in the world for our children and grandchildren.”

Even Poland’s Donald Tusk, something of a noodle himself, insisted that “Poland will not repeat the mistakes of other European countries.”

Slovakian Euro MP Milan Mazurek told Western Europeans why there is no rioting in his country. “It is because we did not follow your insane migration policies. Send them back!”

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederickson at a meeting said, “Europe has a big problem — too many immigrants” and mentioned France.

Mr. Macron scolded her to her face for being “disrespectful.”

Fortunately, the French are smarter than their president. A poll has just asked if there is a connection between immigration and riots. Fifty-five percent — the green bar — said “oui,” there’s a connection.

Thirty-five percent, the red bar, said “non,” and 10 percent don’t know. There was no sex difference and few age differences.

There is a huge split in opinion by political affiliation, but even Mr. Macron’s own voters see the connection, 49 percent to 39 percent.

Are you paying attention, Mrs. Le Pen?

She says France is stuck between violence and impotence? No. It’s stuck between cowardice and denial. France was once great. It can be great again.
