No — not “student” protests in France. And a very clear warning to the rest of us.
I am releasing my full documentary on the riots in Paris. I spoke to the rioters themselves and you'll be able to see how they rationalize their crimes.
In this video you'll hear from rioters that they want to smash everything because the gas prices are too high. You'll hear the rioters say that they are going to "f*ck Marine Le Pen, that wh*re."
You'll hear from others that they just want to loot the big businesses. Either way, it was nothing but people encouraging their countrymen to destroy what others have created so they can be "seen."
This was continuously covered and is still is covered as a student protest. It's a lie through omission, yes it may have started that way but the people I spoke to were not interested in better textbooks, they were interested in burning down Paris until they get what they want which they say is a lower cost of living.
My message back to America is this: you would be naive to think this is not what is coming next for us. Yes we had riots in 2020 for a very different reason, no individual action spurred the riots I saw here, this is just the rise of communism, islam, and decades of unvetted mass migration that is now turning violent. Paris is one of the most beautiful cities I have ever been to and it's heart wrenching to see the tidal wave that has finally hit it.

CNN’s Abby Phillip: “Trump’s focused on too much slavery being mentioned—that’s very odd.” What’s odd is a major news outlet still amplifying slavery and race grievances in 2026.
The “Great Awokening” was driven by institutional media like @CNN through deliberate narrative amplification, not organic societal shifts or worsening conditions.
Batya Ungar-Sargon brought the receipts: NYT + WaPo “white supremacy” mentions jumped from 75 in 2010 to 700 in 2020. NPR hit 2,400.
Racial privilege references surged 1,500%. This wasn’t organic—it was media-driven propaganda. Phillip had no answer. The data exposes the manipulation.

In the #Gulf and #RedSea, freedom of navigation is under attack from #Iran and the #Tehran-backed #Houthis. How to win the fight? My @WashInstitute colleague @dstroul offers a wise and practical approach:
"#European and #Saudi leaders need to merge their maritime planning efforts and invite the US to join. Whatever serious disagreements they have with #Washington about its military actions in Iran must be set aside when it comes to confronting the throttling of international waterways. An #Arab- and European-led command structure, supported by #American military capabilities, would demonstrate broad international opposition to maritime aggression while distinguishing the mission from the U.S.-#Israeli war on Iranian territory."

J5 Lt. Gen Sylvia dismissed.
More than the lead mil “strategist” or “planner”, the JCS J5 is the uniformed counterpart to the Undersecretary of Policy, the no. 3 in the department, and heads the JCS in policy advice & decision making as well as historically attends the NSC at the Deputy level with his Civ Policy counterpart. thehill.com/policy/defense/6…
WRONG — you need to read the law.
Mike Waltz, US envoy to UN, is confused as he shouts at Cuban diplomats, saying: "This is America!" but the UN is international territory: UN 101
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The UN headquarters district remains US territory under the 1947 Headquarters Agreement, where federal, state and local US law applies except as otherwise provided; the agreement grants inviolability but does not transfer sovereignty to the UN.

Thank you @JudicialWatch for the FOIA assist that helped uncover the abuse of Americans “watch listed”.

Only citizens should vote in American elections. Every ballot cast by a noncitizen cancels out the vote of a lawful American.
Washington state should hand over its voter rolls and let investigators do their jobs. States that stonewall federal investigators are asking voters to trust that their elections are secure. Their word alone isn’t good enough.
Breaking: First Assistant US DOJ Attorneys for Washington state, Neil Floyd and Pete Serrano, announce that investigators have found over 400 cases of noncitizens voting in state and federal elections.
The DOJ prosecutors claim that WA state is refusing to cooperate and hand over voter rolls. They believe the number of noncitizens voting is much higher — in the thousands.

Good Morning !
Tea Leaves: It wasn't Dominion - or Smartmatic - or 'the Venezuelans' behind our election fraud coordination.
It was agencies that we pay with our taxes to keep us safe and our elections fair and secure.
They stopped the 2020 count to catch up.
And got caught
"The engineer who actually built the algorithm stealing the election for Biden looked at me like I was an idiot and asked, "Do you think we stole the election here in the blue counties? We're smarter than that.
No, we shaved off votes in the red counties in the countryside where Trump was strong, and we left the blue counties untouched. We shaved off 10 percent in Douglas County (COLORADO) and 10% in Mesa County (COLORADO) and other red counties until Biden's count was over 50 percent statewide." - Page 185 nitter.gq/Rasmussen_Poll/status/…

In case you doubt where we are, here is yet another country where Christians are under Islamic terrorist attack. This time Ethiopia. And once again, leaders in the Church, the Vatican & all across the western world will act as if this is not happening. But as Islam conquers more & more territory & the West falls to their globalist puppet masters, life in the west will not improve. You won’t gain more rights & more freedom. You will lose it all.

🚨 HEARTBREAKING HORROR 🚨
DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin just exposed the pure evil: Innocent children trafficked across the open border were RAPED 600 TO 700 TIMES — locked in rooms, forced to service monsters day after day.
THEY ARE BABIES. THEY DON’T DESERVE THIS. NO CHILD DOES.
“We found 146,000 kids so far… but nearly 300,000 are STILL MISSING.”
I don’t care if you’re liberal, conservative, or anywhere in between — if you can’t stand up and scream SAVE OUR CHILDREN, who the hell are you?!
This is not politics. This is a national emergency. These kids are suffering in the shadows while too many look away.
ENOUGH. Share this. Demand action. Demand every missing child be found. Demand justice for the innocent.
#SaveTheChildren #ProtectOurKids #EndTheHorror
Repost if you have a soul. These babies need us NOW. 💔🙏
Hear hear!
The United States currently maintains approximately 50,000 military personnel in the Middle East, many of whom have faced lethal threats and attacks from Iran and its proxies while defending regional partners, American interests, and international commercial shipping. These ships are crewed by civilian mariners from countries around the world, many of whom have faced indiscriminate missile and drone attacks by Iran and its proxies that amount to maritime terrorism. These men and women in American uniform are among our nation's greatest treasures, and their lives remain at risk every day.
Washington has also deployed multiple aircraft carrier strike groups, provides defensive systems, munitions, and intelligence to help regional partners sustain their own defense, consistent with long-standing U.S. policy. The United States has also authorized the export of some of its most advanced semiconductor technology to regional partners, helping build the foundation for their long-term economic prosperity.
These commitments, and the risks and costs borne by the American people, should be kept in mind the next time someone suggests that U.S. support for the region is insufficient or that America is in retreat.

🚨🇮🇹 Meanwhile in Italy
The 400 Year Old Monastery of Bernaga has just been burned to ashes & now lies in ruins.
Thankfully all the Nuns escaped the blaze.
All these fires can’t simply be by accident - they keep on happening almost daily.

This is one of the most important moments ever aired on CNBC.
Billionaire investor Chamath Palihapitiya says the media lied to millions of Americans about President Trump, and that after going back to the original source material, he realized he had been completely misled about Trump’s character.
PALIHAPITIYA: “The reality is that most of us were lied to by the media about President Trump.”
“And if you just go back to the source material, you should take away two things.”
“One, he didn’t say half the things he said, and two, why did these other people just fabricate what they wanted to say so that they could essentially assassinate his character?”
“I think that that second thing is completely unacceptable in America, and there’s still been no repercussions, really.”
“I took the time to learn about it. I admitted where…you know, the way that I met him was, I admitted on the pod, which, you know, has millions of viewers.”
“And I said, I got it totally wrong because I went and I watched Charlottesville.”
“And, you know, the first person to call me? President Trump.”
“And I got to know him and I put the phone down, I called my wife, and I said, we got it TOTALLY, totally wrong. We were lied to.”
“And then I got to know him and he is fantastic!”
FOLLOW ME, THE NEXT DROP WILL BE SHOCKING.

Raped for days by more than 20 Pakistani immigrants.
Tortured—one had her tongue nailed to the wall to keep her still while they raped her.
The police ridiculed, insulted, and ignored them.
The feminists turned the other way.
If it hadn't been for Elon Musk, who publicly shared the trial testimonies, sparking outrage from Reform UK and internal investigations, no one would have known anything.
You're not angry enough.

There are so many people hyping this Mecca Defense Alliance meeting in #Iran today. The real test is does #Iran's regime still have an IRGC, especially a Quds Force? The answer is yes. So there will be a variation of the same problems. A new meeting in a new format with different people complete with soaring rhetoric is not going to change this.
And we've seen this movie before. For example, the Organization of the Islamic Conference held a meeting in Iran in 1997, where Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah became the most senior Saudi official to visit Iran since 1979. Fast forward to today, the proxy wars and instability have continued.
I would also point out, as some regional commentators have noted, that the Saudi defense minister visited Iran to meet with Ali Khamenei himself in April 2025 before Operation Midnight Hammer in June 2025--delivering a message offering cooperation. Khamenei said to him, "it is far better for brothers in the region to cooperate with and assist each another than to depend on others." Fast forward to 2026, the Houthis are rocketing Saudi Arabia and Iran's regime has bombed its neighbors multiple times.
So I would curb some of the irrational exuberance here. As long as the Iranian regime is in power, there will be instability and no amount of new meetings in creative formats is going to change it.
