France is being destroyed internally by arson, the murder of citizens, and the open defiance of all law, order, and moral restraint. But the greater destructive force is cowardly and amoral politicians who appease and excuse the criminals.
Opposition leader Marine LePen has warned about this coming national suicide for two decades. But only now are middle class citizens paying serious attention to her position. Some predict she will be the next, and possibly last, French president. Three days ago she addressed the nation. One excerpt:
"In a republic that respects itself, no event, no matter how dramatic, no cause, no matter how emotional can legitimize an anarchy that wants to make itself permanent, with attacks against the police and firefighters, the sackings of town halls, the burning of schools or the looting of shops.
Polarized politicians and unions who have taken on the responsibility of morally exonerating these criminal acts have likewise come out of the government; they will carry an indelible responsibility before the nation and history."
For more than two decades Congress has been avoiding the courageous scholar Robert B. Spencer. Finally, this week, he publicly gave expert testimony before the Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government. His expertise is unmatched internationally: militant Jihad and how blind, foolish, irrational and ignorant Western nations are being culturally, spiritually and politically conquered by traditional Islam. Present tense.
The link is below. It's a four minute read. I asked A.I. to summarize it and Spencer's words were too hot for them to touch. The politically correct robots were as cowardly as US congressmen have been for the last quarter century.
In 2016 I contacted the Trump transition team immediately after the election to formally recommend Spencer for Secretary of State, giving my endorsements directly to Ed Meese (Chairman) and Becky Norton Dunlop, the keeper of resumes. Why Spencer? Because International Islam is the greatest geopolitical threat in the world, and...
I want to just say a word about what the subject [of Epstein] really is, because the congresswoman is, of course, representing the Democratic party’s view of this president. But really the Epstein files and the revelations that they contain are an indictment of an entire class of depraved bureaucrats, whom Donald J. Trump, our president, has admitted to impunity in our political system and authority.
Apparently these people can get away with anything. And this is precisely the issue, the issue of the abuse of wealth and power that got Donald J. Trump elected. He somehow convinced the public that he was on the side of those who demanded accountability from those in power. It’s interesting to me that the best the Democrats can apparently come up with is an assault on Trump personally, probably reflecting his unpopularity. But this is a broader issue. It’s about our whole political class that is indicted by these revelations.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has condemned Brussels’s reported plan to fast-track Ukraine into the European Union by 2027 as ‘an open declaration of war’ against Hungary. He warned that proposals to remove his veto—through electoral change or stripping Hungary’s voting rights—amount to a direct assault on national sovereignty and democratic choice.
