Tonight, France burned. America, you should be watching very carefully. Today, October 17, 2026, more than half a million people marched across France against the cost of living. By 8pm, around 400 had been arrested. In Paris, police turned water cannons on the crowds at Place de la République, and one march was stopped 150 meters from the Élysée Palace. Of the 195 people arrested in the capital by the afternoon, only one actually lived in Paris. Mobs forced their way into the city halls of Marseille and Lille. In Lyon, a tourism office was set on fire. In Rennes, barricades burned. Near Limoges, a highway was blocked and police cars were torched. And then came Limoges. A crowd of very young people stormed the city hall, a protected historic monument built in the 1880s. They flipped police cars in front of it and set them ablaze, then set the building itself on fire. The flames took the roof, the wedding hall, and the civil registry, the office that records every birth, every marriage, every death in the city. Tonight, the bell tower that has crowned Limoges for nearly 150 years collapsed. The mayor's response: "It's a monument that is burning, not the Republic." That is the problem in one sentence. Our leaders still think words can put out fires. None of this came out of nowhere. For twenty years, the French political class has excused everything. Every riot was "anger." Every burned car was a "social symptom." Every attack on police was "a reaction to provocation." And the hard left, La France Insoumise, which officially backed today's mobilization, built its electoral machine on an alliance with political Islamism: refusing to condemn, refusing to name, trading secularism and public order for votes. In France we have a word for it. Islamo-gauchisme. Islamo-leftism. Tonight you saw where that culture of excuse ends. A country where a mob can burn down a town hall, and the state arrives after the roof has already fallen in. My dear American friends, I say this with love, as someone who has lived among you and owes you a great deal: your midterms are on November 3rd. And the same alliance is growing inside your Democratic Party. The same far-left wing that treats disorder as protest and police as the enemy. The same activists who refuse to draw a line between legitimate dissent and those who openly despise the West. The same politicians who think tolerance means tolerating everything, including the people who want to burn it down. It always starts with excuses. Then comes impunity. Then come the flames. Same causes, same effects. If you create the conditions we created, you will get exactly what we got tonight. France was the country of the Enlightenment, of cathedrals and town halls that stood for centuries. Tonight, one of them collapsed live on social media while the government called for calm. My dear American friends, the only advantage you have over us is that you've been warned. Vote like your city hall depends on it. Because one day, it will.

John Brennan lied to Congress. Today, we referred him to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution. Read the full referral here: judiciary.house.gov/sites/ev…

Hillary's email with Huma Abedin and Jake Sullivan show that Ambassador Stevens wanted to get out of Benghazi in April 2011, 1.5 years before the tragedy. Hillary and Sullivan knew that the situation was getting worse and worse but didn't get their people out. In State Dept emails sent to Hillary's private, non-secure server, the specific locations and plans are being openly discussed. Anyone could have accessed those emails. --------------------------------------------- Classification: SECRET//REL FVEY (Released in Full) From: Abedin, Huma [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) Sent: Sunday, April 10, 2011 AM To: H ( Hillary Clinton) Subject: Fw Stevens Update (important!) Importance: High Body: Jake may have sent but in case not. --- Original Message --- From: Davis, Timmy ? Sent: Sunday, April 10, 2011 AM To: Sullivan, Jacob J; Abedin, Huma; Wells, Alice G.; > Special Assistants Subject: Stevens Update (important!) [SBU] Per Special Envoy Stevens The situation in Ajdabiyah has worsened to the point where Stevens is considering departure from Benghazi. Envoy's delegation is currently doing a phased checkout (paying the hotel bills, moving some comms to the boat, etc). He will monitor the situation to see if it deteriorates further, but no decision has been made on departure. He will wait 2-3 more hours, then revisit the decision on departure. He received reports of shelling last night in Ajdabiyah as well as snipers shooting people in the city. AFRICOM reported Qadhafi's forces took the eastern and western gates of Ajdabiyah, with ~ vehicles at the eastern gate and more Qadhafi forces are heading to Ajdabiyah from Brega. The Brits report Qadhafi forces are moving from Sirte to Brega, which they interpret as preparation for an assault on Ajdabiyah today. He plans to discuss the situation further with the Brits, Turks, and the TNC: see if this is an irreversible situation. Departure would send a significant political signal, and would be interpreted as the U.S. losing confidence in the TNC. Initial message to the TNC would frame the departure as due to security grounds and as a temporary measure only. Poleschuk said she would discuss these developments with Amb. Cretz. If the group departs, the contract for the boat stipulates they return to Greece. One scenario could be the group elsewhere for a few days.
