I do love irony, which is why I posted this cartoon without dialogue. Some pictures just don't need dialogue, and this most certainly is one of them. Besides, anything I put in words couldn't possibly say it better than this picture.
So, now let's move on with France, a story that isn't going away any time soon. Yesterday I posted this piece, What I'm Reading: France and Europe is Doomed, which I followed up with eight updates... at least at this writing...... and it's amazing how these "media weirdos, losers, mutants", nitwits and pathological liars, keep insisting these are just students protesting education issues. One thing is clear, the public has grown exhausted at these unending emotional outbursts by "nags, scolds, and harpies trying to pester their way into power" with what's being called Woke 2..
....... it’s not going quite the way they want. It’s not happening quite the way they envisioned. Yeah, they’re whining and complaining like the shrill shrews they are, but people have finally figured out how best to deal with these yakking malcontents. You either mock them or ignore them, and when you do, they’ve got nothing.
In France they can fall back on The Riot Act,which allows the police to use deadly force. This isn't just a riot, it's a civil war, and what I keep wondering about is if or when the French are going to declare a "State of Emergency" and unleash the military against these rioters.
Europe is a mess, economically, socially, and culturally.... at least that's true of western Europe, for which the EU bears a great deal of blame. Now the EU has decided they aren't spending anywhere near enough money (money they don't have) and is promoting a nuclear blast in new spending.
It’s remarkable just how clueless these pinheads really are. The fact is Europe is doomed, with these planned riots in France spreading throughout Europe, which may well end France’s Fifth Republic and trigger a massive European wide civil war. Make no mistake, they can budget all the money in the world as they please, but they don’t have it, they can’t pay back what they’ve borrowed, and the day is fast approaching when they won’t be able borrow any more of it. Europe has Brussels leading them down the economic rabbit hole.
Talk about a nuclear blast! Amy Acton is the Democrat's offering for governor of Ohio. She's also the one who caused the economic disasters over falsified claims about covid. Claims she later admitted were all "guesstimates". No, they weren't guesstimates, they were lies, and it appears evenher mother says she's a liar and always have been and is in need of help, claiming she's not fit to be governor. Ya just can't make this stuff up. This is a nationwide trend, and ya just gotta wonder, where do the Democrat find these mutants and who picks them to run? It's almost as if there's a Republican mole in the party leadership making those decisions. Truth be told...... I feel much the same way about Vivek Ramaswamy. What's the biggest thing going for him? He's not Amy Acton.
The left will scream about violence and claim conservatives are trying to violently overthrow "our democracy", as they falsely claimed about January 6th. But they have no problem threatening conservatives as has Senator Elissa Slotkin who threatening "GOP prosecutions to deter young people from Trump administration jobs", if the Democrat party takes over the Congress. She, along with other Democrat's also encouraged the military to disobey Trump's orders claiming they were illegal and they didn't have to obey.... then admitted she had know what illegal orders he issued, if any.
The case against Jack Smith keeps growing and getting worse...much worse.... when will he be prosecuted? The information that's been made available demonstrates he's committed serious crimes, which could potentially be prosecuted under RICO, and yet.... we wait. Why? How long?
The same is true of Ilhan Omar. On the 14th I published this piece, What I'm Reading: Ilhan Omar and No One is Above the Law, but story has really metastasized, and I've added 18 updates keeping up with it. There's talk about the statute of limitations, but it seems clear... at least to me.... her story is a story of a criminal conspiracy involving her family and will be tried as a RICO case, where there are almost no statutes of limitations.
The benefits of multiculturalism? Trash, lots and lots of trash... and feces. Who's to blame? Well it depends on what day it is. Russia, Israel, and you know they'd love to blame Trump. but the U.S. Navy has a rule, and I think it's a good one. Only he who commands can be blamed, and right now the Spanish are blaming their Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez.
There's a lot more going on I've read, but, those are another tales for another days. More to come.
Well, it's pretty clear France's Fifth Republic is heading into the toilet. Will there be a Sixth Republic? Well, I have doubts there will be a France at all. Their stocks and bonds are crashing and Macron has completely failed to restore order. His days in power is bound to come crashing down also. And the rest of Europe isn't far behind. And everyone is shocked why? This was as predictable as night follows day, and I did so 15 years ago.
This is a civil war that's part of a global Islamo-Marxists conspiracy ...... yes... there it is..... I said it.... the "c" word.... conspiracy... and this article lists the conspirators, who are planning to spread this destruction and rioting to 12 nations
The same people are not waiting for the next spontaneous spark. An international coalition of 28 communist and socialist youth organizations is already organizing a coordinated strike across 12 European countries on November 20 under the slogan “Fight for Our Future, Not Their Wars!”
Let's try and get this right for once....just once, please.... the only reason European nations exist now is because the United States funded their recovery after WWII with the Marshall Pan and the Bretton Woods Agreement. In their arrogance the French were against the Marshall Plan as they felt it diminished France. Better to starve than say thank you for one of the most unselfish humanitarian acts in human history. Without the Bretton Woods Agreement, which opened American markets to European goods, costing America trillions over the last 80 years, the European economy would never have recovered, and in point of fact, Europe wouldn't exist except as a geographic designation.
These Islamo/Marxist rioters are promoting violence and deception. Their history of false promises, repression and violence is historical fact that is incontestable. Just like communist promises of "reform" that comes with every revolution they foment, they never outline what that means, and the reason why is it's lie, they know it's a lie, and they haven't a clue what needs to be done socially, economically or culturally to make society safer, happier, and better off. No matter how bad it was in Russia under the Czar, that was paradise compared to the horror Stalin perpetrated against the Russian people, right along with Mao in China, Castro in Cuba, Pot Pol in Cambodia and Maduro in Venezuela to name a few.
Europe embraced the welfare state, globalism, and the multiculturalism promoted by Henry Kissinger, along with his acolyte Klaus Schwab, the founder of the World Economic Forum. At the end of Kissinger's life he proclaimed it was a grave mistake for Europe to have listened to him on immigration. His life was a grave mistake.
The greatest danger is not that Europe fails to recognize its mistakes, but that it recognizes them, understands their consequences, yet still cannot bring itself to act.... Europe is approaching the point where choices become consequences: guaranteeing cradle-to-grave social benefits, taking in millions of unskilled immigrants, struggling with vastly different cultural expectations, and transferring national sovereignty to an all-powerful European Union aligned more with the World Economic Forum than with its citizens. All the while, economic growth, public finances, and a lack of political cohesion present unprecedented challenges that compound every problem......
Identifying a problem doesn't translate into having the will to fix it. Leaders may understand the cost of inaction yet decide that confronting entrenched interests, rigid rules, or dominant narratives can end their careers. Institutions form core social beliefs that amount to a shield, deflecting blame for failures and hiding behind "We were following the rules" as their defense........
My Take - When society is collapsing and the army is called in it's called Martial Law in America. In France it's called "State of Siege". France has yet to declare a State of Siege and call in the army. Why? I know the answer, but I'm waiting for the French to say it. RK
Farage: ‘If We Don’t Wake Up, The Carnage in France is Our Future’ - As France burns again in what critics have called a conflagration born of decades of open borders and failed multiculturalism, other European states consider the risk of the violence spreading, including the United Kingdom, where Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has warned border control is urgently needed.....
My Take - Britain's elite will never "wake up" since if they do that they'll have admit they've taken the UK down the rabbit's hole into disaster, and they're to blame for the disasters that's occuring. It's the British people who need to wake up and stop caring if they're called racists or xenophobes and kick these monsters back to their country of origin. As for the leftists in their midst, they have to confront them without flinching, and that includes government bureaucrats, police, judges and Members of Parliament, some of whom need to be arrested for their enabling of Muslim rape gangs, or the UK will be lost forever.

Update, 10/20/26:
The EU's Spending Explodes - Brussels’ budget negotiations are entering the home stretch. Ireland wants to put the brakes on Ursula von der Leyen’s spending frenzy, at least a little. That is not enough for the German chancellor. Europe’s well-known king of debt is playing the fiscal disciplinarian, putting on yet another media performance for the public. An increase of almost 70 percent from one financial framework to the next is not merely a budget expansion -- it is fiscal megalomania.......

Europe has Brussels leading them down the economic rabbit hole, and China has Xi, who has decimated the leadership in the party apparatus and the military of anyone other that sycophants and is orchestrating another Moaist economic collapse like Mao’s “Great Leap Forward” that cost the lives of millions of Chinese. You might find this podcast regarding China’s future by Peter Zeihan more than a little interesting. RK
Poland, Hungary: France Riots Are Why We Have Border Control - “Perhaps it is now clear” why Central European states maintain strict border control to “preserve our continent as the most wonderful place in the world for our children and grandchildren”, national leaders say as the rest of the world looks on in horror at the failure of multiculturalism in France.....
Here's What Caused a Liberal Journalist to Suffer a Total Meltdown on Katie Pavlich's Show -France has become Mogadishu, and we have an NFL game this weekend between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New Orleans Saints at the Stade de France in Paris. I’m not sure it’s safe to hold a game unless French authorities take steps to restore law and order. The Left and their allies in the media want to frame this as an education and cost-of-living scuffle. It’s not a yellow vest event, folks. It’s what you get when you import too many Muslims into the country. They’re rioting, looting, setting things on fire, and targeting Jewish businesses. The communist and Palestinian flags give it away — these aren’t students...............
France Has to Stand Up or Europe Could Fall - Paris is burning. So is much of France and other places across Europe. What was billed as a “student protest” was soon overrun with communist and Palestinian flags (but I repeat myself), Arafat doilies draped over heads and shoulders, and “newly arrived” Muslims from across the Mediterranean Sea. Unless schools are very different in France, I don’t think we’re dealing with students here.......If Europe is going to be Europe in 20 years, its leadership in the next 2 months needs to be more Korean store owner in the Rodney King riots than old lady swinging a baguette like it’s a lightsaber and remove the cancer its society has imported and deal with the carcinogens funding and organizing them with whatever means are available to them.......
You Know the Media Wants to Bury the French Riots - The stock footage from the outset of the French riots is unusable. It’s now devolved into a maelstrom of looting, vandalism, and mayhem — all spurred by Muslim migrants who have decided to destroy France. The media are trying to couch this as an offshoot of the ongoing ‘yellow vest’ movement, which is a student protest over the cost of living and education funding. That narrative dies when the rioters are waving communist and Palestinian flags........

According to the Pravda media and pollsters the race in Michigan between Abdul El-Sayed and Mike Rogers is a toss up. We already know the media lies and we know no one lies like professional pollsters, so what is the real story on El-Sayed's electability? I don't think it's all that good.
First, after all his denials over his connections with terrorist movements he remains close to his terror-linked mother and has unsuccessfully attempted to detach she and her connections from his campaign. In short, he lied about his terrorist ties.
Secondly, when you breakdown the demographic of his voter base it's clear he's in trouble. Black voters don't like him, and there’s a cultural reason for that. I was and exterminator for 40 years and went into every neighborhood in the area, and I'd forgotten how blacks felt about obnoxious Muslim store owners until I read that article. It's an emotional cultural thing El-Sayed will not be able to overcome since blacks have real life experience with Muslims in their communities, and those experiences are not positive.
Given the antisemitic mind set of the Democrat party Jews are not only refusing to vote for him, many are now considering voting for Republicans. CNN reported that Jewish support for Democrats, who have "unleashed a national hate campaign against Jews of a kind that hasn’t been seen since WWII", has fallen dramatically. That's a massive cultural shift the Democrats will find impossible to overcome in the short term, and may find this will actually become a permanent shift, as he's not the anomaly, "he's the common thread" of those Democrats who are running for office. And truth be told, he and his ilk are the face of the new Democrat party.
During his primary run the polls declared he would win hands down. Calling that an overestimation was being kind. It was polling corruption in support of El-Sayed, as he only beat his opponent by one percent, and there's valid evidence of voter fraud ..... wow that's a shocker.... and only 57% of his primary opponents supporters, all Democrats, will support him in his run for the Senate. That in itself could be enough to sink him, and as it turns out he's unpopular among rural voters.
So how does his supporters like Hasan Piker, the hate America lunatic, view all this? Piker calls Democrat's who refuse to vote for El-Sayed Islamophobic pieces of s**t’. Wow! Piker really knows how to win friends and influence people. The fact is his voter base is a solid Muslim voting bloc, after that, his numbers aren't good at all.
Editor's Note: This is the end of my El Sayed series. If you like this piece and would like to forward it to others, do it now, as it appears I have a personal censor at Blogger who doesn't like anything that tells the truth about Islam and deletes any of my commentaries that deal with it, which I protest .... over and over again.

Update, 10/20/26
Mosques Campaigned for El-Sayed From the Pulpit, MEF Report Finds - Forum Calls on IRS, FEC, State and Local Election Authorities, and Congress to examine tax-exempt groups named in the report, several with ties to Iran, Türkiye, or the Muslim Brotherhood........At the Islamic House of Wisdom in Dearborn Heights, Imam Mohammad Ali Elahi, an Iranian-trained cleric who once directed the Political-Ideological Bureau of the Islamic Republic of Iran Navy, welcomed El-Sayed to the pulpit and told congregants, “I’m going to vote for this man,” adding, “voting is as wajib [religiously required] as prayer … everybody vote and let us vote for Brother Abdul El-Sayed........
My Take - There can be no doubt as to who and what El-Sayed really is. He's part of Islam's march through America to make the Islamist chant "Death to America" a reality. RK
Well, another week has flown by and Power Line has published their weekly, "The Week In Pictures," edition. As I've said in the past for some reason I can't copy and paste most of their pictures, with the exception of the one below. So ..... here's my take on some of what they've presented, along with some observations of my own.
The Islamist/Marxist of the world chant, "from the river to the sea", demanding the Palestinians have their own country, and now it appears they do.... France.... "from the Seine to the Mediterranean". Perhaps Israel could negotiate a treaty between the ethnic French the Muslims living if France by suggesting a two-state solution. Kinda like they did with the Nazi's in WWII. Now there will be two Muslim dominated nations with nuclear arms, Pakistan and France. The upside? Iran will no long have to build their own nuclear arsenal. In an apparent effort to stay "relevant" Greta Thunberg has joined the French Islamist/Marxist protestors. So, can we assume she thinks burning down Paris, Marseilles, and other French cities is good for the planet?
Who would by my picks to star in another Dumb and Dumber movie. I have a few suggestions. My first recommendation would be Oman Ilhan who was thrilled when federal agents raided President Trump's home since "no on is above the law", and then was outraged when they raided her home. Don't they know it's Trump whose not above the law, not Democrats.
My second pick would be AOC who thinks Elon Musk is the dumbest billionaire she ever met.... ya just gotta see the humor in that! My third pick would be Abdul El-Sayed who would love to issue a fatwa against journalists who dare to ask questions about his attachment to terrorist movements.
If these investigations keep going on the first thing you know they'll start questioning voter fraud, food stamp fraud, funding fraud, Medicare/Medicaid fraud, grant fraud, Actblue fraud, and who knows....they might actually put a lot of Democrats in jail. Clearly, going after these Democrats is a dangerous move against "our democracy" .....Right?
When leftist are asked about affordability they're really outraged at the price of gas. When asked what should be done, they confidently say they're going to vote for the party that blocks pipelines, restricts drilling, and raises gas taxes. What could possibly go wrong?
Definition leads to clarity, so what does the media call illegal aliens who crash into stores and loot them? Undocumented shoppers! When leftist women demand more women in politics, so why are they upset at Giorgia Meloni, Marine Le Pen, Alice Weidel, and Kemi Badenoch? Those are the "wrong" women, since they don't support progressive efforts to destroy western civilization. After all, you just gotta have priorities. Right?
Ya just gotta be amazed at leftist logic and values. The left is upset at the execution of Nidal Hasan who murdered a lot of innocent people. Would they be so upset if they executed a baby? Feminists claim its okay for mothers to murder their children because hormones make them do it. They also claim if women ruled the world there would be world peace. They're upset that all these ICE raids will make illegal aliens afraid to vote, after all, if dead people can vote why shouldn't they?
“Frenzy and disorder are not defects of the progressive mind, but are features. Chaos is the guiding light for leftists. Insanity is much like being a slave to a frenzied and chaotic mind. Royce Ferguson
By Rich Kozlovich
Even to the most casual observer it must be clear the Democrats have fielding a really weird radical group of clowns. It's almost as if they they have a Republican mole inside the party deciding who should run. On October 15, 2016 Patricia McCarthy posted this article, The frenzied, disordered American left, at American Thinker, and she hit all the high points about leftist's corrupt thinking and hypocrisy saying:
If the 2026 midterm campaigns have brought anything to light, it's the chaotic, two-faced nature of the now-Marxist left. We know that they will go to any lengths to protect illegal migrants, no matter how violent. No matter how many crimes they commit, they release them onto the streets of their sanctuary cities and blame ICE for ay injuries incurred when these illegal criminals attempt to flee rather than submit to law enforcement.
She went on to hit all the high points about the insanity of leftist thinking. They care more about illegal aliens, including those committing heinous crimes than they do Americans. They've made it clear they will not stop in their efforts to create permanent unsecured open borders for whomever wishes to come here, even if they're here to commit acts of terror, not to mention those like the Somali's who've reaped billions of American tax dollars through fraud.
Their outrage over affordability is "hilarious", especially they outrage over fuel prices. These are the same people just a few years ago insisted on.... and worked for.... the price of gas to be raised to ten dollars a gallon to prevent global warming. And they all cheered as if this was a good thing, including one of the greatest hypocrites of all.... Barack Obama. Another gigantic scientifically fraudulent scare in an effort to impose a socialistic form of world governance under the auspices of the United Nations.
That progressive paradise commonly known as California has closed one refinery after another, as a result they're approaching nine dollars a gallon. Who should bear the blame for that, and why isn't the media screaming about affordability there?
They oppose drilling, they oppose fracking, they oppose pipe lines, they oppose building new refineries, they oppose the importation of oil. They oppose sanity.
"The leftists hate fossil fuels but complain bitterly when the prices rise to the levels they have long hoped they would."
They hate Israel falsely accusing them of genocide, but they love Iran where protestors are arrested, found guilty of treason and shot, provided they didn't get shot while protesting, and where Christians really are being persecuted, which is easily proven, a violation of the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 18). Yet they're still a member of the UN, even worse, Iran "was unanimously elected as the chair of the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) Asia-Pacific Group in January 2025".
A nation that since the fall of the Shah of Iran has chanted Death To America unendingly, and for almost 50 years they have funded and supported terrorist groups in an effort to make that happen, and tried to develop nuclear arms to make that happen. They claim Iran would have never used the bomb. And they know that how? But even if they didn't, does anyone actually believe they wouldn't have armed one of their client terrorist groups with a nuclear device, including those willing to commit suicide in the process?
The frenzied thinking of leftists is universal, as Patricia discusses the Lindsey Clancy jury saying:
The women on that jury were, by their own account, feminist activists who lobbied for Clancy to be found not guilty of killing her three young children due to her claim of postpartum psychosis. Clancy had very carefully planned and carried out the murders, surviving her jump from a second-story window. Her first words when she awoke were to say she needed a lawyer..........But while the trial was ongoing, she amassed a tribe of activist women defending her right to kill her kids if she was severely depressed. That just is not how the world is supposed to work. We are living in an upside-down world.
She discussed the Cornell "rape" case, which as more information comes out the claim of rape is heading into the toilet since it's been shown that:
Jane Doe believed that orgies like the one at Cornell are acceptable? That they are normal? Jane Doe’s own account of that night certainly indicates she thought it was all well and good and had no concept of the cost -- her self-respect? ....... After years of feminist preaching sexual freedom, instructions and advice from the likes of wicked women like Alex Cooper of Who’s Your Daddy, these mistresses of sex advice now act shocked! Shocked! And furious at what they hear of what occurred at that frat party when they have been promoting exactly such “sexual freedom” for years and years.
Frenzied minds care little for history, facts, or reality. The damage done to this nation by Obama, who is an incompetent Islamist/Marxist disgrace and has always been, will haunt the nation for decades. He’s managed to turn race relations in America back with his race hustling and race baiting to the point the nation is on the path to a national race war. His ability to turn stability into chaos is almost legendary…. and they gave this dingle berry the Nobel Peace Prize.
Their tolerance for what Joe Biden did to destabilize America, and in point of fact the world, is beyond comprehension. Under his guidance 20 million illegals entered the nation, all the while claiming the border was more secure than ever, which even the most casual observer could see that was a lie. His policies created higher cost for energy than we're seeing now, and his nod to Putin for a "small incursion" into Ukraine created the mess they're blaming on Trump.
"The Biden administration was the most tyrannical in U.S. history. Thousands of conservatives were surveilled, punished, harassed, etc. Trump was relentlessly persecuted by leftist DAs and AGs and Biden’s DOJ. Parents who showed up at school board meetings were hounded, and even arrested, for expressing complaints....... Thousands of conservatives were surveilled, punished, harassed, etc Transgenderism was aggressively promoted, including the mutilation of young children, as was the inclusion of boys' and girls’ sports, defying common sense ........ All of which was and remains counter to basic American values. If this left takes the House and Senate, the country will decline so fast, our heads will spin."
Jack Smith's story is the story of Biden's tyrannical administration:
I think his actions tell a lot about the left's mindset. They believed they would win the White House in 2024, just as Hillary did in 2016, so they didn’t have to worry about all those silly laws they were breaking. Because another Democrat administration wouldn’t investigate and/or prosecute them for their illegal behavior. An unending pattern of thought for the Democrats.
For all these people, and I include those far higher than Smith, to be brought to justice the nation needs an AG who has a mad dog in the meat market mentality. A fearless AG who can willingly face the slings and arrows shot in his direction and has no desire to be popular. If Jack Smith is guilty of treason, and I don't quite know what else you can call it, then those who enabled and/or promoted his corrupt actions must also be guilty of treason. Even if the charge isn't treason, he's clearly guilty of something substantial other than lying to Congress, and they all need to be charged with any crimes for which he is responsible under RICO. I don't see how this can't be considered a criminal conspiracy.
Update, 10/20/26:
With MAGA Enemies List, Jack Smith Trashes The Constitution Once Again - Evidence disclosed last week confirms what many have long suspected: Special Counsel Jack Smith and the Biden Justice Department assembled a massive database of political opponents. Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley has disclosed that Smith’s operation collected personal data on at least 639,000 Republican donors, voters, and supporters. The records included names, addresses, email addresses, occupations, employers, donation histories, and even the last four digits of credit-card numbers. Some entries tracked purchases of ordinary red MAGA hats. Grassley has called this indefensible—an effort that went far beyond any legitimate investigation into the 2020 election or January 6 and instead mapped the Republican political apparatus itself......The Constitution is not self-enforcing. It depends on public officials who will apply it equally and on a Department of Justice willing to prosecute those who trample it. With the enemies list now public, the choice is clear: Either the rule of law reaches the most powerful prosecutors, or it reaches no one. It is now or never.......
I gotta tell ya, this election is the strangest election I've ever seen, and a sad commentary of what has happened to the culture that was the envy of the world, bringing more people out of misery, poverty and suffering than any culture in the world's history. What's worse, this appears to be a worldwide phenomenon. Here are my commentaries for this week.
France is done. One writer claimed France was in a slow-motion collapse, and my view is that France is doomed, and that doom is unstoppable, and they deserve it. It seems to me in all its history France has had only two great leaders. Charles Martel who saved Europe from the Muslim invasion, and Napoleon; and he was and Corsican Italian.
I have a three-part series on Europe’s looming fiscal collapse (see here, here, and here). Based on this data from Robin Brooks, the crisis will likely start in France (it’s a bad sign when the light blue line is above the dark line). So what should be done about this seemingly inevitable fiscal crisis?
The easy answer is not to repeat the mistakes of the past. More specifically, don’t bail out profligate governments. No bailouts from the IMF. No bailouts from Brussels. And no bailouts from the European Central Bank (ECB). As I wrote about Greece back in 2010, I think bankruptcy and default is a preferable approach. And, back in 2018, when I speculated that Italy would be the first debt domino, one of my recommendations was a no-bailout policy............
And truth be told, it won't matter whether they get the bail outs or not, France is representative of the dangers of a massive socialist welfare state. They're doomed economically, culturally, socially and ethnically as the native French population is on pace to become a minority by 2050 at current rates of migration. I think that's going to happen whether they restrict immigration or not as Muslims are disproportionately out breeding ethnic Europeans.
French Defeat - France—long the self-proclaimed guardian of high culture, of cathedrals and Cartesian clarity, of Enlightenment rationality and the moral vocabulary of Christian inheritance—now confronts scenes of disorder that would have been unthinkable to its earlier custodians. In the streets of its cities, young cohorts drawn largely from Muslim immigrant communities assert themselves with a confidence born of demographic momentum and ideological certainty.
The response of the governing class under Emmanuel Macron has been a studied detachment—the sociological equivalent of what clinical psychiatry once termed belle indifference, the serene unconcern of the hysteric in the face of symptoms that disrupt ordinary life. This posture, cultivated since the retreat from North Africa, has allowed the progressive erosion of the nation’s historic cultural core while elites congratulated themselves on their openness and compassion toward the cultures of the world......
“Hard to imagine a more out of touch with reality speech than Macron at UN”. Netanel Shukrun, a French citizen living in Israel, was recently murdered by a Hamas terrorist in Samaria before the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur, only to have French President Macron show up at the UN and lied about Hamas not being in the West Bank.
President Emmanuel Macron showed up at the UN and rather than mentioning the murder of one of his citizens or any of the core issues France is suffering from, such as illegal mass migration, went on a rant about Israel, claiming that Israel was engaged in a “shameful spectacle” in Judea and Samaria, which he called the West Bank, and claiming that it was needless because Hamas was not active in the West Bank. Not only was Macron lying, but Hamas has just murdered a French citizen and father of six in the West Bank.
Here's the level of violence going on in France the police can't control that's costing France million of dollars they don't have, overwhelming their justice system.
This is a civil war and anyone who stands against the suicidal actions of the French government elite has to be punished, like this French military priest who called upon "men of faith to prevent the French people from being replaced", with the globalists running France calling his speech racist and seditious and implying he should be imprisoned for daring to state the obvious, along with any solider who agreed with him. But he isn't alone.
In 2016, a highly decorated French General was stripped of his position for anti-mass-migration activism; in 2018, a group of ten generals, an admiral, and a former minister of defence broke ranks to call President Macron a ‘traitor’ for backing mass migration, and in 2021, another general spoke of the risk of “civil war”.
49 per cent, of the French public would support the military intervening to restore order and safety in France, even without government orders to do so, according to a poll conducted by Harris Interactive. The polling was released on Thursday in response to a letter signed by 20 former French generals and an estimated 1,000 former and active-duty military members who denounced growing insecurity and Islamism in France and warned of potential civil war and military intervention.........It also found that 74 per cent agreed that “anti-racism” activism had caused the opposite effect of what was expected.........
In a letter by Marine Le Pen she has "invited former military officials to join her movement after they signed a letter denouncing Islamism and rising crime and warned of potential civil war in France. The letter, which was signed by 20 former generals, including the former Commandant of the French Foreign Legion Christian Piquemal, called on President Emmanuel Macron to defend patriotism in France"
Anti-government students and Antifa left wing extremists rioters originating in
France have spread to Belgium, "sparking violent clashes with police in Brussels and Liège", and one has to wonder how long before this spreads over all of western Europe.
An uncomfortable reality is setting in for French elites: throwing more money at handouts and degrading services, on top of mass migration, has been a toxic progressive experiment that appears to be unraveling at the seams. As Macron and his globalist buddies lose control of France, unrest has spread to other corners of the bloc, including Spain, Italy, Albania, and Belgium.
I'm betting we're going to see a lot of ethnic Europeans begging to be allowed to immigrate to the U.S., and I'm willing to say ...... no! In spite of all the warnings they snickered, snorted, sneered and looked down their self-righteous virtue signalling noses at those who issued those warnings. We already have too many leftists losers that were born here, so let them live with the consequences. Schadenfreude!

France Is Burning, and Socialism Is Holding the Match - I spend a lot of time working in Paris, and I was there again recently. It remains one of the most beautiful and culturally important cities in the world. But beneath that beauty, France is facing an economic crisis that should concern every Western democracy. The protests spreading across France are being viewed through the familiar lenses of Left versus Right, immigration, and political unrest. Those issues certainly matter, but I believe the real story is much bigger. France is confronting the consequences of an economic model that has promised more than it can sustainably deliver......
Looters ransack shops during France cost-of-living protests - Looters in several French cities on Saturday broke into stores ranging from a high-end luxury brand to a bakery, on the sidelines of cost-of-living protests, AFP journalists and authorities said. In Paris, near the Republique square, the front window of a skincare brand came crashing down, with looters tossing beauty products to dozens of people massing outside, an AFP correspondent saw...............
FRANCE RIOTS EXPLODE: Islamo-Marxist Rioters Threaten Macron’s Palace as Historic Buildings Burn to the Ground, Police Run For Their Lives, and Stores Get Looted - The Islamo-Marxist riots in France have completely exploded after weeks of mayhem and are threatening President Emmanuel Macron’s home. As The Daily Mail reported, thousands of violent protesters overturned cars, set buildings ablaze, and attacked police across the country. The worst violence arguably occurred in Lyon. There, a tourist office and cars were set on fire by rioters. France’s interior minister, Laurent Nuñez, also added that looting by the red-green rioters was recorded in many cities. These cities included Paris, Rouen, Nantes, Toulouse, and Marseille.....

Unprecedented’ Levels of Looting in Paris as over 1,200 Arrested During Nationwide Riots - The French government has announced that over a thousand people were arrested during Saturday’s supposed protests against the cost of living and educational funding, which quickly devolved into riots that saw mass looting in major cities and arson attacks on government buildings.....
15 Arrested over Arson That Destroyed 143-Year-Old City Hall Building - Local prosecutors said that at least 15 people have been arrested in connection with the riots that broke out in Limoges and the arson which destroyed the city’s historic City Hall. The supposed demonstration against the cost of living and education spending on Saturday evening saw the destruction of Limoges City Hall, an 1883 Neo-Renaissance building designed to pay homage to Paris’s Hôtel de Ville......
France Rioters Clash With Police, Torch Lyon Tourism Office, Break Into Marseille City Hal - A car and a newspaper kiosk were set on fire in Paris as police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse violent groups of protesters, while similar tensions erupted Saturday in other big cities on the fringes of nationwide demonstrations against rising living costs and in support of high school students’ grievances....
The French Aren't Declaring a National Emergency yet Over Riots. Are They Nuts? - France is being overrun by rabid, depraved Muslims who are torching cars and burning down buildings. The riots are widespread, and the French Interior Ministry isn’t ready to declare a state of emergency. Are these people insane? The French had this ‘we’re safe behind the Maginot Line’ in 1940. It turned out poorly. Initial reports on the mayhem said it was over education funding. Yeah, that died in real time as communist and Palestinian flags were shown. Now, we have the media trying to run interference, calling these clashes scuffles......
Pratt Decries ‘Communislam’ As Rioters Trash France and Italy - A combination of radical commies and Muslim migrants is showing Europe and the world what Constantinople, Lebanon, Damascus, China, and countless other nations and cities already learned — that Communist and Muslim conquest is fiery and devastating...........
Specialist Urban Violence Police Squad Deployed to Paris as Riots and Looting Continue - Chaos broke out on the streets of Paris again on Sunday as the multicultural youth revolts saw further looting and arson, and a specialist police task force was deployed to the French capital to quell the unrest. Following an evening of rioting across France, which saw over 2,000 people arrested and over 600 police officers, gendarmes, and firefighters injured, violent scenes were seen once again in central Paris Sunday afternoon.......
.“police officers are paying the price for public impotence,” saying in a statement on Sunday that the riots were not a surprise but rather the result of “accumulated institutional failures that our fellow citizens suffer daily and for which police officers, on the front lines, are paying with their lives.” “Unity requires resources, a protective legal framework for those who maintain order, and a justice system that truly punishes the perpetrators of violence.”
...........While the government has attempted to shift the lion’s share of the blame on the far-left La France Insoumise (France in Rebellion/LFI) party of Jean-Luc Mélenchon, which has been accused by police of manipulating the riots over the past month, others have noted that unrest was ultimately a result of decades of mass migration policies, including from the outgoing Macron administration............
Stop Pretending the French Riots Are Anything but an Attack on Civilization - France is seeing its worst riots in decades — violence clearly aimed not simply at the ruling party, but at France itself — and the left-liberal establishment is still trying to blame a few bad apples. That’s true not just of President Emmanuel Macron, but of global media that claim it’s mainly about student grievances over budget cuts — at least one BBC article actually used the phrase “mostly peaceful protests.” This is nonsense: The street mobs haven’t been just (or even mostly) kids for weeks now, and the vandalism began in the first days; it was last month that “protesters” set a teacher on fire.......
The Democrat primaries pushed forward the most radical cast of candidates in history. There's an old line that says, "birds of feather flock together", and there's a lot of truth in that. So very often you can tell who a what a person is by who their enemies are, along with who are their friends. Hasan Piker is a far left anti-Semite who hates America, and can't seem to say that enough claiming America deserved 911 and is a terrorist nation far worse than Hamas. And he's campaigning with and for El-Sayed, and he made it clear it was Abdul El-Sayed who asked him to be a part of his campaign. Birds of a feather.
Not only does El-Sayed have issues with Jewish voters, he's not been well received by black voters, and if you have any doubts regarding him being racist, try this:
'Doctor' El-Sayed warned of the dangers of Arab-American interracial 'mating' in his so-called 'research' - Sometimes, people just know there's something 'off' about a candidate. Recent news reports have made much clear about Michigan's radical DSA-linked Senate Democrat candidate Abdul El-Sayed having trouble drawing black voters in that state. Now it comes out that he engaged in some pseudo 'research' that would have made Bull Connor blush: El Sayed published a paper on the dangers of “interracial mating”??......She tied it to a longtime Arab prejudice against black people, linked to Arab development of the African slave trade. ......
So, we can't have his blatantly racist views effecting his electability.... so...... to the rescue ..... Obama jumped into the fray telling "the brothers"' to vote for El-Sayed. Well, it gets better as ya just can't make this stuff up. Obama is now promoting a man whose sister he once had put on a Terror Watchlist! And we're shocked at Obama's transition? I just had a thought. Is it possible Obama is a Muslim racist also?
Where does he stand on issues? It's claimed he's guilty of of sexism. He claims:
.....these attacks on his character is evidence of a flailing Democratic establishment fearful of what could follow a decisive progressive win in a crucial swing state.
He also says:
It turns out, I don need you to like me, I need you to like you".
So, it's the same of meme, it's all someone else's fault.
He's against Iron Dome Funding as he doesn't see any difference between offensive and defensive weapons. Perhaps what he really doesn't see is any justification for Israel to defend itself against his terrorist supporters? Just a guess mind you.
On CNN he claimed he doesn’t support defunding police, which was such an obvious lie even CNN had to fact check him on that. He also claims that denying illegal aliens drivers licenses is discrimination. Why is that a bit deal? In one state that refuses to determine eligibility an illegal alien voted because the state sent him a ballot based on having a driver's license.
When being interviewed he often appears smart, and when it comes to red herring fallacies, he is. But in reality, while he talks fast and looks smart, he's not smart, only clever, especially when being interviewed by leftist enablers.
Under El-Sayed's leadership of the Detroit Animal Care and Control center, aka, Abdul’ El-Sayed’s Horrific 'dog slaughterhouse, "approximately 4,680 dogs and cats were euthanized, with 1,056 dogs and 29 cats euthanized in the first full calendar year".
It's also being reported that he served as an advisor to a Muslim medical firm accused of “exploiting medicare” in “scam”. How involved was he with this scam? If that hasn't already been investigated, it needs investigation. He's all in on Medicare for all, what it really means is Medicare fraud for all his friends. As Daniel Greenfield notes:
Every single damn time. I have spent a lot of time studying Islamic infrastructure in America and much of it was built by foreign doctors from Pakistan, Iraq and Abdul El-Sayed’s native Egypt who somehow built fortunes by exploiting our health insurance system. Scratch one of these operations and you find certain tells, multiple business names, companies spun off from the practices that contrive to milk Medicare and Medicaid, and focus on lucrative practice areas with populations that are elderly, young or in some way vulnerable.............I recently wrote about the story of a single ‘Palestinian’ from Gaza who racked up over half a billion in health care fraud. And now there are signs that Abdul El-Sayed, who is running for office on Medicare for All, is adjacent to some of the same kind of behavior.
Editor's Note:If you like this piece and would like to forward it to others, do it now, as it appears I have a personal censor at Blogger who doesn't like anything that tells the truth about Islam and deletes any of my commentaries that deal with it, which I protest .... over and over again. RK
Update, 10/18/26:
Oh yes; Abdul El-Sayed lied about the Muslim Brotherhood - If Democrats seize control of Congress, that’s an Islamist train, with El-Sayed as conductor, we may not be able to stop. The Muslim Brotherhood is among the most important—to Islamists—and dangerous Islamist organizations in the world. The invaluable Discover the Networks, explains:.............This matters not only because Islamists take seriously their plans, which they believe are mandated by Allah, to conquer the world, but because Abdul El-Sayed, the Democrat/Islamist candidate for the U.S. Senate in Michigan, is claiming that he and his family have no Brotherhood ties. Fortunately, his half-sister is more honest:.......
Update, 10/19/26:
Abdul El-Sayed Remains Close to Terror-Linked Mother Despite Best Efforts to Hide Her From Campaign - Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed has carefully curated a family narrative for the campaign trail that erases his terror group-linked birth mother for his white stepmom — even though he remains close to his “ummi,” The Post can reveal. Biological mom Fatten Elkomy, 66, a psychiatric nurse at New Horizons Community Support Services in Columbia, MO, was born in Alexandria, Egypt, and previously worked for the Islamic American Relief Agency — a designated terrorist organization — according to 2010 federal court documents naming her.......
