LOL: Macron Blames Trump And Iran War For French “Unrest”

By William Teach October 19, 2026 – 7:00 am

This takes some serious huzzpah

Macron Condemns Violence, Blames Iran War for Fuel Surge

French President Emmanuel Macron on the 18th, at 8 p.m., local time, in a nationwide address, labeled the riots that erupted across the country, including in Paris, the previous day as “uncontrolled violence by far-left groups” and stated, “Those who attempted to bring down the Republic must be held accountable.”

In the live-streamed address from the Élysée Palace in Paris, Macron expressed “anger” and “shame” over the incidents, asking, “How could French people do this to France?” He then listed specific cases, including the fire at Limoges City Hall, the fire at a tourist information center in Lyon, the breach of the Marseille City Hall, and the looting of the Bordeaux prefecture.

Sure looked like the majority involved were NOT French people

Regarding the recent surge in fuel prices in France, Macron indirectly criticized U.S. President Donald Trump, stating, “This is a consequence of the Persian Gulf conflict [the U.S.-Iran war], which France is not a part of.” He added, “During my upcoming Middle East visit starting on the 19th, I will continue international efforts to secure France’s energy supply.”

TDS.

Macron, however, emphasized the need to distinguish between legitimate protesters and violent actors. “We must never confuse those who destroy, break, and loot with protesters,” he said. “Concerns over rising living costs and fuel prices are legitimate.”

On student protests demanding improved educational conditions, Macron said, “I understand the concerns and deep anxieties of the youth.” He noted, “Students are worried about their future, living conditions, academic environments, career guidance, and their place in society.” Macron stressed, “We must listen to their voices without prejudice and without dismissing their difficulties.”

In other words, he and the French government are going to sweep the whole thing under the rug. The violent ones will not be deported, the government will continue to bring in Islamists and 3rd Worlders. Nothing will change.

And, of course, you get the hardcore French leftists blaming the police for daring to stop the looters and rioters

Macron Decries Violence From All The Aliens His And Past French Governments Brought In

By William Teach October 18, 2026 – 7:00 am

What happens when you bring in and allow in millions of Islamists and third worlders who refuse to assimilate and do not hold French values?

Limoges Town Hall ‘largely lost’ after far-left rioters set historic building on fire amid French unrest

A historic building in the French town of Limoges, about three hours south of Paris, has been “largely lost” after it was set on fire by rioters as demonstrations continue across France.

The Limoges Town Hall was built in 1883, and was made a historic landmark in 1975.

“The roof has collapsed onto lower floors, except the west wing, and two-thirds of the exterior has already disappeared,” the local prefect, Maurice Barate, told the AFP news agency.

There are reports of other important buildings being torched, as well

On Saturday, outgoing President Emmanuel Macron wrote on social media: “There is no place for violence in our republic.”

“Those who have broken, attacked the prefectures as well as businesses, looted even our town halls, will be prosecuted and punished,” he added translated from French. “To the law enforcement forces, guarantors of the right to demonstrate, I express the support of the Nation. We will all stand united against the sowers of chaos, who seek only to bring down our institutions and prevent those who peacefully express their demands from doing so.”

Macron leaves office in six months.

No one actually thinks the French government will do anything of consequence, such as booting most of the aliens out, right? They’ve been allowing violence and more for decades. They knew who these people were. They’ve watched the rapes and everything else, and really done nothing.

It’s a long tweet, worth a read, but, let’s note

70% of the French say there are too many immigrants in France today.

79% want a tougher immigration policy.

77% disapprove of the government’s record on immigration.

83% want foreign criminals and long-term unemployed foreigners sent home.

And no, it’s not just the old. 69% of French 18 to 24 year olds support suspending legal immigration for three years. This is not a fringe. This is the French people.

Here’s the problem: they may say it, but, they keep voting for the politicians who bring in the aliens, who do nothing about the problems associated. And still won’t once all these “protests”, which have been going on for 4 weeks, finally end.

“French” people.

What Are The Best Horror Movie Endings Of All Time?

By William Teach October 17, 2026 – 4:42 pm

Entertainment Weekly has the list: do you agree?

The 20 best horror movie endings of all time

“Careful,” Randy warns Sidney near the end of Scream (1996). “This is the moment when the supposedly dead killer comes back to life for one last scare.”

He’s right, of course: Billy Loomis does briefly stir again before Sid puts him down for good. And that’s no surprise. Randy’s meta-commentary throughout Scream is based on years of pop-culture consumption — anyone who has watched enough horror can tell you that these movies love to give the audience a final jolt before the credits roll.

But however popular the “one last scare” ending is, that’s not the only way to wrap up a horror film. Revisiting the most memorable conclusions from a bevy of genre offerings reveals a wide variety of endnotes, from the spooky to the somber to the sublime. There are jump scares, yes, but there are also endings that inspire more lingering dread. Some even find a surprising poignance amid the body count. You may find yourself shocked, moved, or simply delighted — in rare cases, all of the above.

If you want to see why you’ll have to flip to the article, so, here’s the list

  1. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920)
  2. The Wolf Man (1941)
  3. Rosemary’s Baby (1968)
  4. Don’t Look Now (1973) (I have not seen this one)
  5. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)
  6. Carrie (1976)
  7. Friday the 13th (1980) (I went to school there, been to all the shooting locations)
  8. The Beyond (1981) (I don’t think I finished this one)
  9. The Fly (1986)
  10. The Vanishing (1988)
  11. The Blair Witch Project (1999)
  12. Saw (2004)
  13. The Devil’s Rejects (2005) (Never finished it, didn’t like it)
  14. The Mist (2007) (It was a good horror ending, but, I think it would have been better to go with the book ending)
  15. REC (2007) (I don’t think it was that scary, just more jump scare style, didn’t stick with me)
  16. Occult (2009) (Never heard of it)
  17. The Invitation (2015) (gave up, thought it was boring)
  18. Saint Maud (2019) (nope, premise looked dull)
  19. Midsommar (2019) (who are the people that say this is horror? A few bad scenes, but, really, I’d call it drama, ending was a little disturbing)
  20. Speak No Evil (2022) (Never saw it)

The ones I’ve seen, excepting Midsommer, do have great horror endings, but, they are missing one of the best

Not the best version, and reversed, but, seriously, Christine was dragged to hell. Great acting by Justin Long, who was looking into a camera and having to picture what was going on.

Also, the ending to the original Nosferatu is great, but, not necessarily scary. Hell House LLC is fantastic, as is the 3rd Hell House.

Is There More Coming On Ilhan Omar?

By William Teach October 17, 2026 – 10:30 am

I thought the search of her home was about financial issues, for which I was wrong. But, could they be coming up?

Ilhan Omar raid sparks ominous prediction from watchdog: ‘They probably got the goods’

The federal raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Washington, D.C., home prompted warnings Wednesday from a conservative watchdog leader that more revelations could be coming, as the Minnesota Democrat faces separate investigations involving her immigration records and financial disclosures.

Oversight Project President Mike Howell, whose group pushed to strip a $1.031 million earmark backed by Omar, says the Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) search raises broader questions about congressional accountability and what investigators may uncover next.

His warning comes as U.S. Attorney Jeanine F. Pirro confirmed on “America Reports” that her office is investigating the Minnesota Democrat’s financial disclosures, while separate reporting revealed that federal investigators had subpoenaed Omar’s relatives as part of an immigration-related probe.

“I think there’s other shoes that are going to drop here,” Howell told Fox News Digital.

“That’s why I think the Democrats really just couldn’t resist the temptation to jump out of this before they saw any evidence and just circle the wagons [around Omar],” he said.

While certainly the Credentialed Media has shown some support, mostly from a TDS point of view, yes, there is not a lot of rallying around Omar at this point. Like a lot of her Squad member Comrades there is not a lot of support for her

(Truthout) Days after the Trump administration’s unprecedented raid of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-Minnesota) house just weeks before the midterm elections, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-New York) has not once publicly defended the progressive Democrat against the naked political prosecution.

You do not see much on social media from Democrats defending her. Let’s also not forget that this investigation started in 2024 under the Biden administration.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-New York) and other House Democratic leaders issued a short statement following the raid that called it “deeply disturbing” and said that it “raises serious questions” about the Trump administration’s “weaponization of the federal government.”

The statements are more about TDS than about protecting Omar. Perhaps Democrats are concerned that if her shady dealings with fraudsters in Minnesota will lead to their own involvement with fraud being uncovered? Back to first article

Howell’s warning extends beyond Omar to what he describes as a broader failure of accountability in Washington, where lawmakers can champion taxpayer-funded projects that later face questions about their legitimacy.

We all know that it is a big scam. Congress allocates funds to federal agencies mostly run by Democrat voters who then give a ton of money to NGOs and such who are friendly to Democrats because the agencies can’t do the job. Those recipients also can’t do it, so, they take their cut and spread it out to other who also can’t do the job and spread it out to other Dem friendly entities, and, eventually, the job may get done.

And then money makes it back to the campaign coffers of Democrat politicians. And, sometimes, the money makes it out there and rather than spreading it around they just fraud the hell out of it, keeping most without actually doing the job, as we saw in Minnesota like with the “Learing Centers.” And some politicians need to go to jail for being involved in this, wasting taxpayer money, to calm it down, because it has all become normalized at this point.

As part of his broader “institutional rot” argument, Howell argued that Omar’s earmark controversy is not unique, criticizing what he sees as lawmakers placing loyalties outside the United States ahead of their constitutional responsibilities.

“This isn’t normal. And it only seems normal because it’s been happening so much. And I think it’s about time we take the oath to the Constitution that members swear seriously,” he said.

Exactly.

Warmists Wonder Why So Few Vote Like They Care About The Climate Crisis (scam) Or Something

By William Teach October 17, 2026 – 7:15 am

Oh, this should be good

If So Many Americans Care About Climate, Why Don’t They Vote Like It?

11.2 million.

That’s the number of American citizens who rank climate change as their top issue but didn’t vote in the 2024 election, according to research by the Environmental Voter Project. For context, Donald Trump won the presidency in 2024 by less than 2.3 million votes.

Weird that it doesn’t really ever show up in polls when put up with real issues, eh?

For a little over a decade, EVP has been working to get these climate-first Americans to the polls. Over the years, through canvassing, phonebanking, and postcard writing, they’ve helped turn 2.2 million climate-first nonvoters into voters who consistently show up at the polls every election, for candidates at every level of government.

“We work in [21] states because we feel that there are important gains that the climate movement can make, not just at the federal level, but the state and local level there,” Nathaniel Stinnett, the founder and executive director of EVP told CCNow in an interview.

This year, EVP is getting help from Patagonia. In September, the outdoor apparel company launched The 11.2 Million Vote Project offering a $100 credit to 112,000 people who signed up three of their friends to encourage them to vote. The coupons were snapped up in just four days. (The tool is still live for folks who want to nudge their friends.)

Isn’t it illegal to do this? That could be interesting as a legal case, but, if cultists have to be paid to get friends to vote is it really that good?

So why don’t these people who care so much about climate change vote with that issue in mind? It turns out, many people still falsely think that the top two most effective actions they can take to combat climate change are to recycle and change their consumer habits, according to recent EVP polling. “For 30 years, the fossil fuel industry has been teaching us to ignore the coal-fired power plant back there and instead just obsess over the plastic water bottles in our hands,” says Stinnett. “So, of course the public feels this way.”

Oh, that’s good, really top notch, guys, fail to take responsibility for your own actions. Not that we haven’t seen this same Talking Point before, ad nauseum.

“Everybody is failing climate concerned Americans in not helping them realize that this is a systemic political problem that requires systemic political solutions,” says Stinnett. “It’s not just about buying the right clothes and eating like climate-friendly donuts, or whatever. It’s about taking political action.”

It’s about getting Government to force Everyone Else to do things Warmists won’t do voluntarily. Really, as always, Doing Something about ‘climate change’ is popular in theory, but, when real world issues intrude it’s way down at the bottom in practice.

ICE Raids In California Meant To Discourage Voting By Immigrants

By William Teach October 17, 2026 – 7:00 am

Um, they aren’t allowed to vote, legal or illegal. Is The LA Times telling us, via the illegal alien supporting groups, that they would be voting?

Surge in ICE raids is aimed at discouraging voter turnout, immigration advocates say

Amid reports of a surge in federal immigration raids, Los Angeles leaders and immigration advocates said Friday that the efforts appear aimed at discouraging turnout in the midterm elections, and urged voters not to be intimidated.

“The timing of these actions, just weeks before the midterm elections, is no accident,” said Jeannette Zanipatin, policy director of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles. “These tactics seek to silence immigrant communities, suppress civic participation and divide our neighborhoods.”

CHIRLA’s executive director, Angelica Salas, blamed the Republican Trump administration for seeking to discourage voting and said her organizations and others will send legal observers to the polls across the state as part of the Can’t Stop California campaign.

“As threats of intimidation from the Trump administration continue just 18 days before the election date, do not let anyone convince you that your voice does not matter,” Salas said at a news conference in downtown Los Angeles. “We’re protecting our people. We’re also protecting our people’s ability to participate in the elections. California organizes itself. That is why we are a progressive, pro-immigrant state.”

Your voice doesn’t matter. You are barred from voting. Are they saying the quiet part out loud, that aliens vote in elections?

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security oversees Immigration and Customs Enforcement. In a statement, DHS spokesperson Chandler Rebel said that people “who are here legally and are not breaking other laws have nothing to fear.”

“Our message to aliens who vote in American elections is clear: we will find you, arrest you, and you will face the consequences — including criminal charges and deportation,” Rebel added.

Exactly. But, let’s be honest: if ICE was trying to discourage aliens, legal and illegal, from showing up at the poll they wouldn’t do it in California, where them not voting makes zero difference. They would be in places like North Carolina, hanging in Raleigh, Charlotte, Asheville, and more. Virginia. Maine. Any place where they polls are close.

The reported increased immigration raids now come at a time when the federal government has targeted the state’s election process. On Thursday, the Justice Department sued California over claims of voter fraud, and accused the state of counting ballots from “likely noncitizens.”

Um, the article pretty much is saying that aliens are voting.

Netanyahu Tells Obama To Pound Sand On Stolen Land

By William Teach October 16, 2026 – 6:42 pm

Will Obama be giving back the land for his house and “Presidential Center” in Chicago to the Council of the Three Fires? Or his home on Martha’s Vineyard back to the Wampanoag? It’s stolen land, right? Oh, wait, that doesn’t apply to Democrats? They can yammer, but, never do?

‘This is our homeland’: Netanyahu responds to Obama accusations that Israel stole Palestinian land

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded on Friday to comments made by former US president Barack Obama, in which he accused Israel of taking “land off people” and being “excessive,” referring to Israel’s treatment of the Palestinian people throughout the country’s history.

Obama made the comments during a visit to Belfast, Northern Ireland, on Tuesday.

“The Jewish people are not foreign occupiers in the land of our forefathers,” Netanyahu said in a video posted to X/Twitter. “Our history is not a colonial enterprise. Our land is not stolen land. This is our homeland.”

Netanyahu called Obama’s Belfast comments a “regrettable statement,” emphasizing the connection between the Jewish people and the Land of Israel, noting its biblical name, “Judea.”

It’s wild how Democrats find it in themselves to align with murderous Islamists

Regarding the path to a peace agreement, Netanyahu said that the obstacle to peace is not Israel, but rather the enemies in the region shared by Israel and the United States.

Specifically, Netanyahu noted the enemies’ “refusal to recognize the Jewish people’s right to a state of our own, in any boundary.”

He cited chants of “Death to Israel” and “Death to America,” which are common in states like Iran, a shared enemy of the US and Israel.

Well, Democrats and other leftists around the world take the side of Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, etc, against Israel, Jews, and the USA>
