On Tuesday President Emmanuel Macron accepting the resignation of his Prime Minister Gabriel Attal but asking Attal to stay on in a caretaker role.

On Thursday the forces of President Macron won the vote to select a President of the National Assembly... On Friday leading Leftist politician Jean-Luc Melenchon said the Socialist Party is standing in the way of him being nominated as the next Prime Minister......

The federal government ran another big deficit in June, as the national debt inches closer to $35 trillion.$35 trillion USD.Trillion with a 'T.' That's an unfathomable number. It's meaningless to most people. We simply can't comprehend a number that big.Let's try to put the $34.9 trillion national debt into perspective.According to the National Debt Clock, every American citizen would have to write a check for $103,565 to pay off the national debt. Of course, a lot of people don't pay taxes. That means the taxpayer burden is much higher. Every U.S. taxpayer would have to write a check for $266,953...

The latest inflation report says we’re still 50% over the Fed’s target. Is that really close enough? Will inflation disappear by itself? Why is Jerome Powell so close to giving up the inflation fight? Morgan Stanley thinks the Federal Reserve could start cutting rates as early as September, based on the idea that “inflation is finally under control.” The Federal effective funding rate has been held at 5% or higher since May 2023, as you can see on the graph below: (You can also see how the rate was left over 6% – at one point a mind-boggling 19% –...

Republicans are hesitantly optimistic about election reform in Arizona following a decision by the 9th Circuit Court that requires officials to verify voters’ proof of Citizenship when registering to vote with the state. In the past, all Arizona residents were able to fill out a state registration form and those who did not provide citizenship documents were automatically enrolled to vote in federal elections only. Because of this ruling, residents are now required to provide documentation proving citizenship, if they fill out a state registration form. Unfortunately, in the same ruling on Thursday, the court maintained that Arizona must continue...

Abandoned by his father to a troubled single mother; eventually raised by grandparents. He is then recruited from an Ivy league law school by shadow figures, a specific billionaire and a network of interests. He changes his name, writes a book about his life story, and with the support of the aforementioned – who eventually pays for the assembly of a strategic campaign influence network, becomes a Senator for 2 years before being quickly elevated into position in the White House. Many people reading that paragraph would be familiar with the life story of Barack Hussien Obama. However, that paragraph...

Joe Biden sat down for an interview with Black Entertainment Television (BET) host Ed Gordon to pander to black voters. Joe “you ain’t black” Biden is struggling with black voters as the 2024 election cycle goes into full swing. Meanwhile, President Trump is making inroads with blacks. Biden’s interview with BET was a pathetic attempt to appeal to black voters. Biden rambled incoherently as he lied about his involvement in the civil rights movement. This is one of Biden’s favorite lies (he has many). “I got involved in the civil rights movement [unintelligible].” At this point, Biden mumbled through a...

Here's the relevant data from http://Fintel.io, showing the astonishingly huge short position ("put") filed on July 12th by Austin Private Wealth, LLC against Trump Media & Technology Group, Corp, for an astonishing 12,000,000 shares. This would have generated a windfall of profits if Trump had been shot and killed a day later. You can look this up yourself: https://x.com/HealthRanger/status/1813722413638795656 So now the fund betting against $DJT & $RUM before the assassination attempt is saying it was a filing error and it never really happened??? https://x.com/matt_kohrs/status/1813900335523725316

CNN’s John King admitted that former President Donald Trump is on course for an unprecedented landslide victory this November. The CNN analyst says Trump could win as many as 330 electoral votes (only 270 are needed to secure victory). King explained: “If Donald Trump won, what we have here, dark red states, solid Republican.” “Light red states, leaning Republican.” “If he won just those right there, he would already have the path to 270,” King added. “He would have 272 electoral votes,” he explained.

My organization sponsors a quarterly poll in conjunction with our magazine. Meeting Street Insights conducts the poll for us. For our Summer issue, we thought it would be interesting to poll young people in Minnesota, which we defined as ages 18 through 34. To my knowledge, no one has done this before. We asked young Minnesotans not about their views on politics or policy, but about their lives and concerns.The results were stunning. Young people in Minnesota are deeply pessimistic about their futures, and their country’s future. We asked respondents whether their generation is better off economically than their parents’...

In the wake of the attempted assassination on former President Donald Trump, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have issued a joint intelligence bulletin. .... Snip.... The bulletin was first shared by Catherine Herridge on X. She wrote: NEW: Sources confirm “JOINT FBI/DHS INTELLIGENCE BULLETIN” TITLE: “Assassination Attempt on Former US President Donald J. Trump” TOP LINE: Bulletin says attempted assassination “reinforces our assessment that election-related targets are under a heightened threat of attack or other types of disruptive incidents.” CONTEXT: But near catastrophic lapses suggest the security posture did not reflect this...

Patriots in Oklahoma are engaged in an epic struggle for their independence, facing off against a modern empire and its mercenaries — a struggle with striking similarities to the American War of Independence. Today, the empire is BlackRock. This gargantuan corporation’s tentacles spread across the word, with 89 offices in 38 countries including the United States, Japan, India, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Germany, and South Africa. BlackRock is no ordinary corporation. It produces nothing useful. Instead, the firm gets rich by managing other people’s money — lots of it. BlackRock now has effective control of $10.5 trillion worth of other people’s...

At this moment, nearly every major Department of Defense program seems to be struggling. Technological bottlenecks, industrial capacity problems, workforce issues, and general bureaucratic confusion have produced delivery delays and cost overruns, even as the entire defense industrial base faces the challenge of competing with Russia and China. The major exception to these problems appears, surprisingly enough, to be the B-21 Raider. The purpose of the B-21 program was to produce a new generation of strategic bombers to replace the B-1B Lancer and the B-2 Spirit. The subsonic B-21 is designed to use stealth to penetrate enemy air defenses and...

Teamsters President Sean O'Brien is set to speak at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Monday night, but he is not yet scheduled to speak at the Democrat convention in August.For years, O'Brien has aligned with the Democrat Party, as labor unions tend to support Democrat candidates and policies. But it sounds like the Teamsters president O'Brien is a fan of former President Trump's vice presidential pick, J.D. Vance. O'Brien told Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto:J.D. Vance, in the short time that we have worked together, has been great on Teamster issues. He co-sponsored an airline manufacturing bill that...

Biden-Harris 2024 Chair Jen O’Malley Dillon released the statement soon after Trump announced his choice. The statement began, “Donald Trump picked J.D. Vance as his running mate because Vance will do what Mike Pence wouldn’t on January 6: bend over backwards to enable Trump and his extreme MAGA agenda, even if it means breaking the law and no matter the harm to the American people.” ..... Snip..... Additionally, they complained that Vance has said he would not have certified the election

Popular YouTuber James Klüg posted a man-on-the-street video interview he filmed in the aftermath of Saturday’s attempted assassination of Donald Trump where one deranged leftist said he supports more Americans trying to take out the 45th President. Asked for his thoughts on the shooting, the random citizen said, “They missed. He should have died. He’s not good for this country and he never will be.” “So, you’re disappointed that the shooter missed Donald Trump?” Klüg asked. “Yeah, a hundred percent,” the man answered. When he was asked if the shooting was justified, the interviewee explained, “I’m sure in his eyes...

The Target store on 2505 Riverside Blvd. in Land Park was warned by Sacramento City Attorney Susana Alcala Wood's office that it would be fined for repeatedly reporting thefts. "Ten years ago voters approved Prop 47," Wood explained. "This amended the law by converting thefts of less than $950 from a felony to a misdemeanor. This combined with various 'defund the police' measures means law enforcement doesn't have the resources to respond to misdemeanors. As it is, fewer than 10% of vehicle thefts, which do exceed the $950 felony line, result in an arrest. Retailers shouldn't be wasting our time...

Biden said this week that he is going to wipe out everyone’s medical debts. “I’m going to end medical debt. We’ve already made sure medical debt can’t be put on your credit report. We can wipe out medical debt for pennies on the dollar.” The only way to do this is to tell companies they won’t get paid. Does he realize he will bankrupt the companies? If people think the system is problematic now, just wait.
