Leftists Attack Macron For Saying France Is in the “Process of Decivilization”

French President Emmanuel Macron has incensed left-liberal lawmakers after he warned that France is going through a “process of decivilization,” in what some have speculated—rightly or wrongly—was a wink and nod to the famed author Renaud Camus’ idea of the “great replacement.”

The French president’s comments, which have prompted a whole host of reactions from prominent figures in the country’s political milieu, came during a Council of Ministers meeting on Wednesday, May 24th, where, in light of the chaos enveloping France at the moment, he expressed anxiety that the country is undergoing a “process of decivilization,” the newspaper Le Parisien reports.

‘The Official Truth’: The End of Free Speech That Will End America

If legacy news corporations fail to report that large majorities of the American public now view their journalistic product as straight-up propaganda, does that make it any less true?

Soros Funded A Biden Center Report On Letting More Refugees Into The US. Some Of Its Authors Now Work For Biden

Several authors of a Soros-funded Penn Biden Center report advocating for increasing the number of refugees allowed into the country now work in the Biden administration, handling immigration and national security policy.

The Penn Biden Center and the National Conference on Citizenship published a 2020 report, which was funded by a $259,050 grant from Open Society Foundations, recommending increasing the number of refugees permitted to come to the U.S. and easing restrictions on refugee eligibility, actions the White House has since taken. The report was led by Ariana Berengaut, who now serves as senior adviser to national security adviser Jake Sullivan, and Eric Hysen, who was sworn in as chief information officer (CIO) for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in February 2021; Rosanna Kim, who serves as senior adviser for the State Department’s Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) since January 2021, also contributed to the report.

Henry Kissinger Surveys the World as He Turns 100

The great strategist sees a globe riven by U.S.-China competition and threatened by fearsome new weapons and explains why he now thinks Ukraine should be in NATO.

Eight years—that’s all the time Henry Kissinger was in public office. From January 1969 to January 1977, Mr. Kissinger was first national security adviser and secretary of state under Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, holding both titles concurrently for more than two years. He was 53 when he cleared his desk at Foggy Bottom to make way for Cyrus Vance. In the 4½ decades since, he has worked as a consultant on strategic relations to governments around the world and consolidated beyond dispute his reputation—first earned when he co-piloted the U.S. opening to China in 1972—as the pre-eminent philosopher of global order and the most original, erudite and hard-nosed statesman of his era.

Racism Gets Redefined

In any circumstance, neither motive nor evidence matters, only the privilege status associated with a person’s skin color.

Apparently, every negative social interaction between a white person and a black person can be explained by racism.

Take the case of Sarah Comrie, a physician’s assistant at Bellevue Hospital in New York City, who was branded a “Karen” (a racist middle-class white woman) after a disagreement with a group of young men over a Citi Bike. Comrie, who is six months pregnant, had just finished a twelve-hour shift at the hospital and was trying to leave on a bike that her lawyer has since produced evidence showing she rented, when a group of young men confronted her, claiming they had rented the bike. A struggle ensued during which Comrie called for help, expressed distress as one of the men brushed against her baby bump, started crying, and dismounted the bike.

More Than a Million Viewers Stopped Watching Fox News After Tucker’s Ouster. Where Did They Go?

In the weeks since Tucker Carlson’s firing in late April, Fox News’s prime time numbers have dropped significantly. While the audience flight is undeniable, the question of where those viewers went remains an open one.

Newsmax, Fox’s rightward competitor, has seen a boost since Carlson’s abrupt firing, especially at 8 p.m. – Carlson’s old time slot. Yet Newsmax’s increase doesn’t come close to accounting for the million viewers Fox has shed in prime time since firing Carlson.

Europe grapples with Last Generation climate protests

Over the last week, climate activists featured heavily in the European news cycle.

In Germany, police and prosecutors launched their first nationwide crackdown on the Last Generation group with raids on May 24. The climate activists are charged with the “formation or support of a criminal organization” in Munich, which led to home searches and the shutdown of their website.

Four days earlier, Last Generation activists in Italy had staged an attention-grabbing protest, pouring a black liquid, charcoal diluted with water, into the Trevi Fountain in Rome. Their banner demanded “an immediate end to public subsidies for all fossil fuels.”
