Ten years after Father Hamel's murder, France still refuses to name the ideology killing its priests, while commemorating everything else with zealous ceremony.

While France's D-Day beaches earn UNESCO recognition, an Islamist attack in Berlin reminds us that Europe's security failures remain unaddressed: we celebrate heritage while our borders leak. https://t.co/L27kR3EU9L

🚨🔥FRANCE ON FIRE. Gironde is burning next to missile fuel depots. And firefighters just admitted out loud they can't guarantee containment.
42,000 hectares gone, 220,000 evacuated, in a zone where ArianeGroup stores rocket propulsion materials and Seveso-classified sites hold fuel and fertilizer stocks. This weekend's real mission wasn't saving forest. It was making sure the fire never touched the explosives.
2,500 firefighters, 1,500 reinforcements from Switzerland, a military A400M water bomber. Still called "operationally impossible" to fully control.
Behind it: a forest planted as flammable monoculture pine for profit, not safety, now burning at rates up 20% in a decade. That's the secondary scandal. The primary one is this: critical, explosive infrastructure sitting inside a fire zone France still can't contain.

Musk tells a journalist that "far-right" is just media jargon for ordinary people: a crude rhetorical move, but it crystallizes what millions already believe about how the press weaponizes language to delegitimize dissent. https://t.co/jZUwvNqCxy

Bordeaux is 15km from an inferno and France just evacuated 230,000 people like it's routine.

Wildfire in Gironde has already torched 42,000 hectares. Footage shot from a Canadair water bomber shows flames swallowing the landscape whole. This isn't the south burning quietly anymore, it's next door to a major metropolis.

Bordeaux on fire. Gironde's prefect says this wildfire has hit a scale never seen before and it's heading straight for the city. No containment numbers given, just the direction: toward France's wine capital...

France just claimed two monumental heritage sites at Unesco: D-Day beaches in Normandy and Cathar castles in the south. National pride, concrete landmarks, and the weight of history all at once.

Thousands evacuated across Gironde as "unprecedented" wildfires rage through southwestern France, destroying homes and heritage while state preparedness remains woefully inadequate.

Musk just said what half of Europe thinks: calling ordinary people "far-right" is how media assassinates dissent without argument. The label has become a cudgel, not a diagnosis. https://t.co/jZUwvNqCxy

A criminal cartel operating from Algeria threatens French officials with impunity while our state pretends border control is merely a rhetorical exercise: this is not a policing problem, it is a capitulation dressed as nuance.

Ten years after a priest was beheaded in his own church by ISIS-linked jihadists, the Communist mayor of Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray marked the anniversary with an interfaith fest titled "Muslims and Catholics: educating youth to meet each other." Beheading remembered through a "panel on unity" says plenty on its own.

Macron congratulates communist Vietnam for adopting his model of social media control—because nothing says "liberal democracy" like admiring Beijing's playbook applied to Paris. https://t.co/C8gTHRsy8w

A pilot just did the math: 2 billion euros to clean the Seine, or 15 firefighting Canadairs to battle the wildfires France can't seem to stop—and the State chose neither wisely.

🔥💦Dozens of tractors just rolled into Bordeaux, tanks full, to help firefighters battle the blaze. Farmers dropping everything to save their region while bureaucrats would still be filling out forms. This is France when it actually matters: no orders needed, just people showing up. ❤️🇫🇷

Des dizaines de tracteurs affluent vers Bordeaux avec des citernes pour prêter main forte aux pompiers. C'est ça, la France ! ❤️🇲🇫

[France Unfiltered @FR_unfiltered]

While officials say evacuate, Cap-Ferret (France) residents said no thanks and built their own firebreak instead. Days and nights digging to save their own land, furious the state didn't see this coming. One line sums it up: "We're not gonna wait for permission to not burn."

Thaïs d'Escufon, a famous French national influencer, claims her X account was stolen to push a shady vote link. Screenshot doing the rounds, no telling who's behind the wheel now. Be aware !

[France Unfiltered @FR_unfiltered]

A violent narco-trafficker in France's toughest supermax just proposed... to the state-appointed shrink sent to profile him.

Guy B., a top enforcer for Marseille's Yoda crime clan (torture, sequestration, the works), is engaged to the "personality investigator" France sent to assess him. She's off the case now. Help !

France spent 2 billion euros scrubbing the Seine while firefighters lack aircraft to fight wildfires. The state's priorities laid bare: sewage over survival.
