🇫🇷 Marine Le Pen says France can no longer keep “importing unemployed people,” pointing to unemployment among foreigners being roughly twice that of French citizens.
She also flatly rejected the idea that discrimination explains the gap.
“There is no discrimination in France.”
Le Pen then laid out her view of immigration: people who move to France should ASSIMILATE into the national community rather than live as separate communities preserving their own customs.
And on immigrants who openly reject French culture and laws, she went much further:
“If someone comes and says, ‘I hate you, I despise your culture. I don’t want to respect your laws,’ we say to him, ‘Listen, sir, the door is wide open.’
We might even... FORCE you to leave.”

60 Minutes viewers are going to HATE every second of this.
Marine Le Pen, the frontrunner in France’s next presidential election, just exposed consequences of mass migration in Europe without the slightest apology.
Listen carefully.
LE PEN: “When you take in too many immigrants, you create the conditions for destabilizing your society, and that is what has happened in France.”
She then pointed to the unemployment gap between foreign nationals and French citizens.
LE PEN: “There’s another problem, a problem of numbers. The unemployment rate among foreigners in France is TWICE the unemployment rate among French citizens.”
“We can no longer import unemployed people.”
When CBS’ Trevor Phillips tried to attribute that disparity to “discrimination,” Le Pen shot it down immediately.
LE PEN: “No. That doesn’t exist. You are not going to import those ideas here.”
Quite a departure from Macron.

In 1968, teenage Red Guards were beating their professors to death with clubs in Beijing courtyards.
Meanwhile, Jean-Paul Sartre sat in Paris calling Mao's Cultural Revolution a model of revolutionary democracy. The most celebrated intellectual in France looked at a country burning its own libraries and saw liberation. He sold the Maoist newspaper La Cause du Peuple on French street corners himself, holding it aloft like a sacrament.
Between 1966 and 1976, the Cultural Revolution killed between 500,000 and two million people. Schools shut down across the entire country. Students dragged teachers onto stages, hung placards around their necks, forced them to kneel on broken glass, then murdered them. The historian Bian Zhongyun, vice-principal of a girls' school in Beijing, died on August 5, 1966, beaten by her own students with nail-studded clubs.
Sartre swooned at this, calling it the people governing themselves. Why did a man this intelligent get it this wrong? Sartre believed knowledge served power, that truth was whatever the revolution required, that the individual existed to be dissolved into the collective will.
So when Mao abolished the distinction between teacher and student, between expert and mob, Sartre cheered. He had spent decades arguing that bourgeois reason was a class weapon. Here was a regime taking him at his word and clubbing the reasoners to death. This is what economic illiteracy gets you.
Mises had already explained the calculation problem in 1920. Hayek explained dispersed knowledge in 1945. Sartre had access to both and chose the dunce cap of the collective instead, then handed out its propaganda on the Rue de Rennes.
He died in 1980, mourned by 50,000 followers, never having retracted a word about Mao. The professors of Beijing got no such funeral, only a philosopher in Paris explaining that their murder was freedom.

In the 1912 essay “The Barbarians” Belloc says the mark of the barbarian is that he wants the goods of civilization without the hard virtues and discipline that created them:
“The Barbarian hopes—and that is the very mark of him—that he can have his cake and eat it too. He will consume what civilisation has slowly produced after generations of selection and effort but he will not be at pains to replace such goods nor indeed has he a comprehension of the virtue that has brought them into being. Discipline seems to him irrational, on which account he is for ever marvelling that civilisation should have offended him with priests and soldiers.”

Between 2007 & 2025, Australia’s population increased by 32% from 21.0m to 27.3m.
Taiwan’s population increased by 1.5% from 23.0m to 23.3m.
Over that period, our real GDP per capita rose 16%. Taiwan’s rose 83%.
Taiwan has much better economic policymakers than we do.
My latest for @SpectatorOz.
Australia has a skills shortage - in economic policy.
Australia had 8% fewer people than Taiwan in 2007 but 19% more in 2025.
Meanwhile, our real GDP per capita went from 26% higher to 20% lower.
Perhaps we should import 50 experts from Taiwan.

Okay… I was a cop for 20 years in the NYPD. I retired as a lieutenant. Here’s my take:
The islamification of the NYPD didn’t start with Mamdani, as much as I want to blame him. It started with de Blasio.
He’s the one who wanted literal boatloads of recruits from all the “-istan” countries. They came in as traffic agents and had pathways to becoming cops. We all saw it coming. There’s a Muslim officers fraternal club and Pakistani officers fraternal club that helps with the transitions.
As for the summons, it’s a bs summons (jaywalking) that I’d be ashamed to write. However, the cops’ actions towards the woman and her dog are overreach. Grabbing her and grabbing the dog leash isn’t NYPD SOP. Police work isn’t supposed to be personal, but they both made it so.
Guys with time and experience like myself are leaving the job. Good candidates are going to other departments. NYC used to be a great place to be a cop, but Democrat Socialists decided that criminals are better than cops. This is what’s left.
Elections have consequences.
Two Muslim cops in New York stopped a nurse for no apparent reason other than that she was walking her dog.
They cornered her and threatened to seize her dog. When confronted, they got angry and couldn’t say what law she had broken.
This is what happens when you give these people power. All I can say is that she was lucky there were passersby, because it was 3 AM and things could’ve ended much worse.

I actually feel bad for Elon, even though I deeply disagree with him on some things.
Imagine trying to build a car company in California in the mid-2000s, when American manufacturing is being completely offshored and almost all of Wall Street thinks you’re a joke and is rooting for your failure, while the entire oil and gas industry is using all their power and leverage to make you fail.
But against all odds, you actually pull it off. You build cars that make electric vehicles desirable to millions of people, create an enormous number of quality American jobs, and force the global car industry to play catch up and move away from oil and gas.
You would think California would be proud of you and the team. Instead you find yourself having to fight a completely corrupt and incompetent left government impeding all your efforts while you sleep at the factory night after night to avoid collapse. At some point, you would go to the right too.
And because of your politics, it becomes a justification for people to celebrate your companies failing in their personal ideological fight with you. Even threats against you become something people explain away and use mental gymnastics to justify.
Meanwhile, people like Scott Galloway and Bernie Sanders who have made absolutely nobody better off other than themselves get to lecture you about your value to society and even call for your murder without grounds from their vacation home while you're on 20 hour benders in your factories trying to get things built for all of society. If this were me I would lose my mind.
Criticize his opinions. I do sometimes, especially on Ukraine. But the pleasure people take in wanting to destroy everything he’s built is hideous and frankly suicidal for the masses, especially coming from people who insist they care about workers, the climate, and civilization as a whole.
As you try to make good things for society you are confronted with a world that worships people who care only about the perception of being good people, while they actually fight against your tangible efforts of making improvements for humanity.
I don't think almost anyone would have made it out of that and if they did, they would probably not come away feeling so warm towards the left either. So I am rooting for Elon to succeed, and for humanity.

She gets it because she was born into that world. Gullible progressive Americans can’t see what @RawaneOsmane sees.
Congratulations, Abdul El-Sayed. You won.
You outsmarted millions. If voters in other states had been allowed to vote for you, many more would have fallen for your charm. Keep going and maybe one day it's the presidency.
Like it or not, they will call you Senator. You beat them at their own game. Western democracy gave you representation, and you're using that power to shape your country (yes, your country) closer to your worldview. Who knows, maybe you'll even work to undo the Muslim Brotherhood designation. As an observant Muslim, why wouldn't you pursue what you believe in?
And let's be honest: you read your voters far better than they read you. Your critics put the questions about your associations in front of them. Your voters, many of them Jewish, shrugged and backed you anyway. As we say in Arabic: القانون لا يحمي المغفلين. The law doesn't protect the gullible.
The political current that cheered your victory has spent decades working patiently toward this, for the good of humanity as it sees it, and for the good of its children.
I disagree. I grew up where Islam has ruled since the 7th century. Since the eighties, the Muslim Brotherhood has promised us الإسلام هو الحل, "Islam is the solution." We lived the result, and nothing could be further from the truth. That was our experience in the Muslim world, the same world your parents chose to leave.
Maybe America will be different. Maybe here it will finally work, because the people who mistake your smug smile for a sweet one are so much easier to win over. They have no resilience. They take every smile at face value. And they have so little sense of who they are that some would trade it for anything that offers certainty.
Congratulations. The hard work paid off. While your side spent decades organizing, the people who should have been paying attention were busy inventing new identities, new grievances, new reasons to be offended, new things to smoke, new gods. Then the Palestinian cause led them straight into bed with Islamism. And for Palestine, they'll march hypnotized to the end of the earth.

The Weaponisation of Language
One of the most effective tactics of the modern left has been the corruption of language itself. Words that once had clear meaning have been twisted beyond recognition - redefined to suit their agenda and silence dissent.
They call censorship “safety.”
They call propaganda “education.”
They call perversion “pride.”
They call cowardice “tolerance.”
They call patriotism “hate.”
Through manipulation of words, they’ve managed to reshape moral reality. By controlling the language, they control what people are allowed to think. Change the definition, and you change the debate.
When “man” and “woman” become “identities,” when truth becomes “offensive,” and when disagreement is rebranded as “violence,” reason itself is under attack.
It’s not ignorance - it’s strategy. Because when the meaning of words collapses, truth becomes whatever they say it is. And that’s exactly how control begins.
Language built our civilisation. The twisting of it will destroy it - unless we start speaking plainly again.

🚨 BREAKING: Gov. Ron DeSantis says Islamic group CAIR is DISBANDED in Florida because of his terror designation, and says America MUST repel the Islamic invasion because their end goal is conquering
"There's an interest in having Islam DOMINATE! [...] [I went to] the Palestinian Arab controlled part of the region. So honestly, it was a dump going in there and looking, it was very, very depressing."
"And then there's this massive mosque that was built to just dominate over it. That's intentional."
"The faith is NOT just, hey, we go to church, you can be Catholic, Baptist...the goal of Islamism is that Islam dominates. That's just what it is."
"You have people that will vote for Sharia because that's what they believe in terms of religion. So when you get big [migrant] numbers, you will absolutely see a movement to do Sharia. It's NORMAL for them."
"CAIR in Florida, as of this week, has been disbanded and is no longer operating in the state of Florida!" ☀️
100% OF THIS IS SPOT ON!!
This is why STRICT migration policies against the 3rd world are required and why the overrunning of massive Islamic centers needs to be stopped

Good morning fellow travellers.
So you’ve noticed the immigration problem - despite the promises of multiple election results and one huge referendum result to halt it - just isn’t going away?
They tell you YoY numbers are down but that’s only because they went so insanely parabolic previously. And they singularly fail to mention that just this year, so far, we allowed a Portsmouth sized amount of non EEA migrants to come here - hat tip @charliecolecc who is doing excellent work on this.
Many people ask the entirely reasonable and correct question: “But, if we the British people voted against it, then why does this happen at all?”
The answer is simple.
The modern globalist model runs on labour arbitrage. Import cheap labour, legal and otherwise, and wages stay flat. Flat wages keep inflation contained, which matters more in Britain than almost anywhere else: roughly a quarter of our gilts are index-linked, so every point of CPI goes straight onto the interest bill on £3 trillion of debt. Contained inflation keeps rates down, cheap money keeps asset prices up, and high asset prices keep the donor class happy. It's a closed loop, and everyone outside it pays to keep it running.
The AI age will change this.
Once the immutable data on what these migrants do is widely distributed and interrogated and understood so the population understands in unequivocal terms that 99% of them add nothing but take as much as they can from taxpayer funded initiatives the mood music will change. I suggest taking the approach Denmark has with the excellent @jonatanpallesen in this respect. Pure data that proves the anecdotal experience.
But, and here is the kicker, automation will be hugely long term deflationary. It will also mean that our own high trust and educated people - especially in white collar jobs - will, for a period, experience a displacement of job opportunities where they lose employment altogether or rehire lower down the income distribution; an Engel’s pause basically whilst the new labour paradigm shifts into gear, certain jobs are wage and status privileged for a period (eg the build out) and eventually new white collar (and other) jobs are created.
There will then - given the numbers - be too many people per job. As we will have to absorb the displaced or lost jobs of our own people at scale, the cost of the welfare to subsidise foreign workers low pay, let alone foreign indolents free lifestyles - ON TOP - will not be affordable in this transition. Which means the umbilical cord of state sponsored welfare will be cut. Which means these people will have no incentive to stay. Which means they will start to leave. Of their own accord.
You can, of course, also create a hostile environment to encourage them to leave peacefully if their own accord or even pay them to leave (cheaper than paying them to stay which is what we effectively do now). This is the most moderate option on the table based on historic precedent where such periods of dislocation and social unrest lead to ugly inhumane mass civil conflict. So you limit what access to state services they can get. There are a host of other humane and reasonable options too that I leave others more attuned to the culture war to opine on; I am purely interested in the socio economic vector, and what it costs. Currently it is clear to me that only @RestoreBritain and @SDPhq understand this, or, have the minerals to state it publicly and offer viable humane solutions.
I am currently finishing off an article on this very topic - which I see as being the greatest existential threat to Britain that exists. As @trevgoes4th has (so often) presciently stated “AI = the white walkers and everything else is downstream noise”.
This piece is complex and has taken weeks to write - but it will set out a grand plan for Britain to become truly sovereign again.
Busy weekend just started, so will publish Tuesday next week. Hope you’re all having a good one!
Best wishes,
