French President Emmanuel Macron was caught on camera appearing to be slapped—or at the very least shoved—by his wife Brigitte Macron as they stepped off their presidential plane in Vietnam. The awkward encounter unfolded Sunday night and has since gone viral, and now the Elysee Palace is in full-blown damage control mode. As the Macrons arrived for a high-stakes diplomatic visit aimed at rekindling French influence in Southeast Asia, President Macron was caught off guard before he could even wave to the cameras—his wife’s unexpected gesture made him recoil, visibly stunned, before he regained his composure and tried to play...

With dirt flying and shovels hitting the White House South Lawn today, first ladies Melania Trump and Brigitte Macron were in good company as they stepped aside and let their men do the hard work — it was not an occasion for breaking a sweat in high heels. President Donald Trump and his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron participated in a tree planting ceremony today as part of an official state visit and dinner celebrating 250 years of U.S.-French relations Joining the leaders were their stylish wives who stood behind them. Melania looked elegant in a little black dress teamed with...

Just who is Emmanuel Macron? He is the new French President. When a young, charismatic European leader comes along who also is an ardent globalist, we need to pay attention.

The Return of the Vichy government. etc. FReepers are clever, you can come up with some good stuff....just thought I'd throw this out there.

As imperfect as LePen appears to be, much as might be said of Trump, she embraces the culture of her native country that is being subverted by an invasive political system under the guise of a religion We’re watching the final showdown between two reportedly unpopular candidates vying for the office of president… in France. At least, that’s the account in most of the mainstream press, along with the tale that Emmanuel Macron is a centrist and Marine LePen is a far-right neo-Nazi. Neither description appears to be grounded in much fact. Familiar story? The international press is painting the...
