Zemmour: The Link Between Riots and Immigration is Obvious
Zemmour said, “If we continue in this direction, due to demography and democracy, France could one day become an Islamic republic.”
In a wide-ranging interview, the first he has given to the foreign press since the French race riots erupted late last month, Éric Zemmour—the former journalist who now leads the national Right party Reconquête—answered questions relating to Islam in France, the future of the country, the nature of the civil insurrection, its source, who is to blame, and what measures must be taken to prevent subsequent catastrophes.
The interview, conducted by Jose Maria Ballester Esquivias for the Spanish digital newspaper El Debate, gave Zemmour ample opportunities to speak his mind on the perilous issues facing France, and as usual, speak his mind he did.
George Soros’s Bad Bet
The billionaire funded a series of experiments in the U.S. criminal-justice system—with disastrous results.
As George Soros exits the public stage, handing over control of his central nonprofit operation, the Open Society Foundation, to his son, it’s a good time to examine the results of the experiments he funded in the American criminal-justice system.
Soros famously made his fortune by massively shorting the British pound, leading to more than $1 billion in profits for him and economic calamity for the United Kingdom’s central bank. With his riches, Soros eventually became politically active in America as a major donor. He funded high-profile Democratic candidates for national office, and then shifted gears to focus intently on criminal justice.
Electric vehicles are the least effective way of satisfying consumers’ needs
Big government mandates are forcing the national transition to electric vehicles. Consumer demand doesn’t appear to matter.
Government is doling out billions in special loans and subsidies to select companies and twisting tax policy to make EVs appear cheaper. At the same time, heavy-handed mandates are making traditional, reliable cars more expensive and harder to produce.
The mega-strike that could take down Hollywood
Hollywood’s writers have been on strike for two months and soon the actors may join them, swapping the red carpet for the picket lines.
The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) contract expires at midnight local time on 12 July, following a deadline extension that delayed the possibility of a mega-strike by almost two weeks.
They would join the Writers Guild of America, which went on strike on 2 May after failing to reach a deal with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), an umbrella group representing studios like Disney, Netflix, Amazon and Apple.
Do Not Let China Attack America from America
The America ChangLe Association in Manhattan’s Chinatown, which closed down after an FBI raid last year, has just reopened with a grand ceremony celebrating… July 4! This is China’s new form of political warfare, brazen in the extreme.
It is way past time to end the ability of the Chinese regime to conduct political warfare against the United States from American soil. America’s defense begins with closing down the America ChangLe Association.
Global Blasphemy Law: UN Adopts Resolution on Qur‘an Burning
The United Nations has voted to adopt a resolution on Qur’an burning at an ‘urgent meeting’ convened for Pakistan, a key cheerleader for global blasphemy laws.

Vicky named her husband as the man at the centre of the allegations in a statement issued on his behalf.

H&R Block, tax firms allegedly sent Mark Zuckerberg’s META info on tens of millions of taxpayers
Three large tax preparation firms sent “extraordinarily sensitive” information on tens of millions of taxpayers to Facebook parent company Meta over the course of at least two years, a group of congressional Democrats reported Wednesday.
Their report urges federal agencies to investigate and potentially go to court over the wealth of information that H&R Block, TaxAct and TaxSlayer shared with the social media giant.
Ukraine to rely on security guarantees from individual G7 allies until it joins NATO
He didn’t get everything he wanted, but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was set to leave the NATO summit in Lithuania on Wednesday with fresh guarantees of allied support and weapons to continue the war with Russia.
His government had asked to be admitted to NATO on an expedited basis, much as Finland and Sweden had recently been.
No invitation was presented at the two-day gathering, but NATO delivered the assurance that it was committed to letting Ukraine join — when conditions allowed, meaning at the conclusion of the war. It did remove one condition of membership, a set of political, economic and military goals that members must meet before entry, but importantly, the alliance did not set a timeline for accepting the East European country.

Ring cameras are racist apparently
WIRED magazine wants you to know that Ring cameras are racist, so you shouldn’t buy them.
Given that I just added 3 new Ring cameras to my setup, I am about to collapse in guilt. Particularly because I live in a neighborhood that is majority Black. The trauma I am inflicting must be grave.
Trudeau’s new regulations will hike costs for low-income families
This summer, thanks to the Trudeau government’s new Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR), Canadians already struggling with the high cost of gasoline, groceries and other essentials will see the cost of living rise even higher.
The CFR, which went into effect July 1, forces fuel producers and importers to gradually reduce the carbon content of the fuels they sell. By 2030, the “carbon intensity” of these fuels, which measures the emissions generated per unit of energy, must be 15% below 2016 levels. If fuel suppliers fail to meet these standards, they must purchase credits, increasing costs that will inevitably be passed on to Canadians who rely on gasoline or diesel.
Man convicted of murdering sleeping sisters over their lifestyle
A Tel Aviv man was convicted of stabbing his two sleeping sisters to death over their lifestyle and how they raised their children, the Tel Aviv District Court said on Wednesday.
Fadi Malouk, 29, after the breaking of the Ramadan fast in 2018, had argued with his two sisters Chait and Nurit about their lifestyle and the manner in which they raised their children. This had been a point of conflict between them for several years.

Colby Cosh: When it comes to Bud Light, the company boycotts you
I’ve been reading up on the Bud Light “boycott,” an event that strikes me as being of momentous significance because as far as I can tell it’s not quite strictly a boycott. Rightly or wrongly, that’s a word I associate with organized efforts led by an identifiable political tendency. If you just do something that makes zillions of your customers quite spontaneously go “Nah,” can you claim to be the victim of a boycott?
‘Woke or KKK’: NYU Hosts Whites-Only ‘Antiracism’ Workshop for Public School Parents
New York University hosted a whites-only “anti-racism” workshop for public school parents in New York City, barring minorities from a five-months-long seminar that legal experts say was a brazen violation of civil rights law.
