Hat tip to @DanaPerino who earlier today on @thefive said that Beirut used to be the Paris of the Middle East (until it was destroyed by Islam), and now Paris is the Beirut of Europe (because of Islam).

@Osinttechnical Do it. Please. I am a Trump supporter, but he is dead wrong on Ukraine.

@Anthony_Rivardo Winston can't make up his mind. He holds the ball too long.

We will all soon know what it feels like to be Jewish. In France, they already do.

It will be our just deserts for having abandoned the Jews, ignored their warnings, turned against them, and even marched alongside their oppressors.

For three years, you useful idiots have been parading Palestinian flags, sporting keffiyehs, screaming “From the River to the Sea”, and recognizing a fictitious Palestinian state as a reward for Hamas’s October 7 massacre (looking at you, @EmmanuelMacron). You have boycotted the only Jewish state in the world, vilified the Jewish people’s right to self-determination (aka “Zionism”), and spread the “Gaza genocide” blood libel.

Did you really think that if you fed the crocodile enough Jewish flesh, it would eventually be satiated? All you have done is embolden the monster and whet its appetite.

So you were worried about “colonization”? Look around. The only thing being colonized here are our own Western cities. The Palestinian flag has become a victory banner, proudly waved amid the ruins of looted and vandalized historic buildings—a symbol of hatred for our civilization and everything it stands for.

It never ends with the Jews.

Had Hillary won the election, the United States would look like France right now.

If Kamala Harris had won the election, the United States would look like France right now.

When the left wins, America loses.

Миллиардер и филантроп Ричард Брэнсон присоединился к поддержке Украины и жёстко раскритиковал Трампа:

«Я думал, что мне никогда в жизни не придётся этого говорить — но на дворе 2026 год, и администрация Трампа стала прислуживать автократам и диктаторам. Что такого в путине, что президент Трамп перед ним заискивает? Замедление Starlink уже привело к гибели украинских мирных жителей.

Европейские лидеры должны преодолеть шок от действий Трампа и взять дело в свои руки. Мы не можем позволить, чтобы свободный мир разрушили у нас на глазах».

Всегда уважал этого человека🤝

A sitting United States senator just admitted she wants to use prosecutions to scare young people away from working for President Trump. Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan said it out loud at the University of Chicago on Tuesday, during a live taping of a Vox podcast. "I want to look at these signature cases and not just focus on the president, but on the people who enabled him," she said. "I want young people coming out of school to say, should I go work for the Trump administration?... I want them to be like, Lord, that might be buying myself a ton of problems that I don't want... I want that deterrence message."

This isn't a one-time slip. In a September 30 speech, Slotkin said Democrats should go after Trump officials if they retake Congress, and she compared it to Poland's "Iron Broom" plan for cleaning house after authoritarian rule. She named Kristi Noem, Doug Burgum and Jeanine Pirro, and warned that misusing taxpayer money "can land you a sentence of up to 20 years in prison."

Think about what she's saying. She isn't talking about a specific crime someone committed. She's talking about making an example of people so the next generation is too afraid to serve their country under a president they voted for.
As a mother, I'd be proud to see my kids serve in government, and nobody should be threatened with prison for taking that job. This is exactly why the midterms matter. Imagine what they'd do with the gavel.

Somewhere between Maoism and Stalinism we find Slotkinism.

This is some of the most evil and vile stuff I've ever heard out of an American politician, let alone a US Senator – states gleefully that she wants to publicly punish her political opposition to set an object lesson that will discourage the next generation from participating in their nations governance.

Here's the funny part – do Democrats not understand why President Trump made such a monster comeback in 2024. Conservatives, especially the populist conservatives, especially young, populist conservatives are antifragile in their political motivations.

Whether you like it or not, the reason why Europe is falling is because it lost its Christian faith.

“You did not listen to Israel — the vanguard of the West in the face of barbarism. You chose instead to condemn its right to self-defense, whitewash its terrorist enemies, deny the horrific crimes of October 7, and spread lies about genocide. Today, those who are destroying European cities are waving the Palestinian flag.”

[Sarah Adams @sarahadams]

If France showed us anything these last 24 hours, it’s that we have to stand strong on pushing for mass deportations. There should be no gray area on this!

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.

[TMK @themagaking]

Anyone watching France burn down right now and still demanding open borders and more Muslim migration into America wants the exact same chaos here because they hate this country. There’s no other logical explanation.

[Juan Carlos Girauta @JC_Girauta]

No hicisteis caso a Israel, la vanguardia de Occidente frente a la barbarie. Preferisteis condenar su derecho de defensa, blanquear a sus enemigos terroristas, ocultar, negar o contextualizar los crímenes atroces del 7-O, difundir la mentira del genocidio. Hoy los que destruyen ciudades europeas exhiben la bandera palestina.

[Mike Engleman🇺🇲 @RealHickory]

I have friends who said they're voting RED not because Republicans are perfect, far from it, but they're voting Red because Democrats are evil and insane.

That's reason enough isn't it?

[Ted Cruz @tedcruz]

We are witnessing Islamists right now burning Paris because Europe has committed cultural suicide.

We should look to France as foreshadowing for what America faces if we don’t stop this here.

We are fighting to save our nation.

I genuinely don't understand how tens of thousands of Christians are being massacred in Africa by Islamists and nobody seems to care.
