“Close your borders while you still have time”. That is the message from this French woman. Pay close attention: French people are facing the reality their globalist leaders created. Open borders & mass migration are a weapon on invasion & conquest. They take human strengths like compassion & empathy & turn them into weapons to use against you. It has happened all over the western world - not in China or North Korea or Mali or Lebanon - no. It is the west that is under assault. Why? The answer is obvious. When the numbers/populations grow, they remake the country in their own image - not yours. Not the nation you have always known but the nation they want it to be. The “open borders” cult campaigned openly, right in front of your eyes, bullying & shaming you into submission, leaving you blind to the truth. The bet they took is that it would be “too late” by the time you woke up. That no one would have the courage to remove families & tear open communities & send people kicking & screaming back to the nations whose flags they still fly on French soil. Sound familiar? Of course it does. The same people protesting ICE in America are burning down schools in France. They even dress the same. Why? Because all black is the uniform of Antifa terror networks worldwide. They call it the “Black Bloc” and offer instructions online. It is designed to prevent identification. So when the police ask, “Who burned the lady in the face? What did he look like?” The answer is always: “He was wearing all black officer.” These people are trained agitators. They are violent by design & they share tactics across borders. They practice strict counter-intelligence measures & they never self-identify when caught. They know what they are doing. Do you?
American an European friends, I’m so ashamed, but you need to see what France has become. Don’t make the same mistakes we did. The only peaceful solution is to send them back to their countries of origin they love so much. We cannot coexist. It will be them, or us.

33 years ago this weekend, two Delta Force snipers made a choice almost nobody would make. Master Sergeant Gary Gordon was 33, from Lincoln, Maine, with a wife and two young kids at home. Sergeant First Class Randy Shughart was 35, a farm kid from Newville, Pennsylvania. On October 3, 1993, they were in a Black Hawk circling over Mogadishu when another Black Hawk, Super 64, was shot down. Pilot Mike Durant was alive in the wreckage with a broken back and a crushed leg. His crew was hurt. There were no friendly ground forces anywhere near them, and hundreds of armed militia and locals were already converging on the crash site. From the air, Gordon and Shughart could see exactly what was coming. They asked to be dropped in. Command said no. They asked again. No again. They asked a third time and finally got the green light. Their helicopter set them down nearby and they fought their way to the wreck on foot. Two men, carrying only what they had on them. They pulled Durant out of the cockpit, set him up in a safer position, and started holding off the crowd. For a while, it worked. They kept the mob back with precise, steady fire while the numbers against them kept growing. Shughart was killed first. Gordon kept fighting alone. When he was nearly out of ammunition, he went back to Durant, handed him a rifle, and told him good luck. Then he went back out. He was killed minutes later. Durant was captured, beaten, and held for 11 days. He came home alive. He has said for decades that he's only here because of those two men. In 1994 Gordon and Shughart were posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor, the first since Vietnam. The Navy later named two ships after them, the USNS Gordon and the USNS Shughart. They didn't stumble into that fight. They watched it from above, understood the odds, and asked three times to go anyway. Gary Gordon and Randy Shughart. Remember their names.

Today is World Animal Day. We love our animals, and we won't stop fighting for them. They aren't lab equipment, and they aren't disposable. We've made protecting them a priority during our time in Congress: ✅ The PUPPS Act ends the breeding of dogs for research and shuts down the pipeline supplying them to taxpayer-funded labs. ✅ Violet's Law, passed in the House-passed Farm Bill, requires federal labs to offer retirement and adoption to animals instead of euthanasia once research ends. ✅ The PAAW Act prohibits the National Institutes of Health from conducting or funding research causing the most severe levels of pain or distress to dogs and cats. Man's best friend belongs in a loving home, not a lab. We'll keep fighting to protect the voiceless.

Replace “Jean-Pierre” with “Paul” or “Steve”, and this could easily be set in America. @VDAREJamesK @Will_Tanner_1
At first, Jean-Pierre did not understand. He watched the evening news, paid his taxes, voted responsibly and believed what respectable people told him. 1. France needed immigration because the economy needed workers. 2. Diversity was an opportunity. 3. Public services were under pressure because they lacked funding. 4. Disorder at school was caused by inequality. 5. Crime statistics required context. 6. Anyone who connected these things too quickly was probably an extremist. Then his children started coming home from school saying they could barely hear the teacher. Half the lesson was spent restoring order. Teachers changed constantly. Some simply disappeared for weeks. Jean-Pierre complained once, politely. The administration explained that the situation was “challenging” and that the school was developing an “inclusive pedagogical response.” Jean-Pierre went home reassured. There were professionals dealing with it. His neighbourhood changed too. Shops closed. Others appeared. Groups of men occupied the same corners every evening. His wife stopped taking one street after dark. Jean-Pierre noticed all of this, but he had also learned that noticing patterns was dangerous. So every event remained an isolated event. One closed shop meant nothing. One assault meant nothing. Ten incidents meant ten unrelated incidents. Only a racist would connect dots. Then his daughter was sexually assaulted by a man who had recently arrived in France. Jean-Pierre was devastated. But almost immediately he began policing his own thoughts. The attacker was an individual. Of course. One must never generalise. The television explained that exploiting such crimes politically was irresponsible. A minister warned against “stigmatisation.” Jean-Pierre found himself nodding through tears. What had happened to his daughter was monstrous, but the truly frightening possibility, apparently, was that somebody somewhere might vote for the wrong party because of it. Nothing changed. His son’s school became worse. His daughter stopped going out alone. His wife wanted to move. The police were exhausted. The teachers were exhausted. The hospitals were exhausted. Jean-Pierre was exhausted. Yet every explanation he had been given required him to believe that each deterioration was temporary, accidental, exaggerated or caused by something entirely unrelated to the deterioration immediately beside it. And whenever somebody proposed that perhaps the country had made serious mistakes — about migration, authority, education, policing, integration, punishment or borders — Jean-Pierre knew the correct answer. “Careful. That sounds like the far right.” So he remained reasonable. He remained moderate. He remained informed. He remained completely incapable of drawing a conclusion from his own life. So at first, Jean-Pierre did not understand. And he still does not understand.

REVEALED: A think tank co-founded by Facebook’s founding president wants an entirely NEW visa category to repopulate struggling American communities with foreign workers. It’s called the HEARTLAND VISA. They’ve already mapped roughly 1,700 potentially eligible counties—home to 58 MILLION Americans. The Economic Innovation Group, co-founded by Sean Parker, wants at least 100,000 visas a year. The pitch is explicit: “In exchange for living in a Heartland Visa community, workers with sufficient earnings will gain permanent residency” American communities become the destination. Green cards become the incentive. The proposal targets places struggling with population decline, including rural communities and former industrial centers. Foreign workers would have to live in a participating area—but could work for an employer located elsewhere. The think tank also proposes replacing labor certification with an earnings test for the green-card pathway. That would remove the usual labor-market test from this proposed route to permanent residency. The idea has already reached Capitol Hill. Republican Senator Todd Young and then-Senator Joe Manchin introduced a version in December 2024. Supporters included AOL co-founder Steve Case, Americans for Prosperity and the Niskanen Center. County officials would decide whether their communities participate. EIG continued lobbying for the proposal in 2026. This is an organized push to turn population decline into a justification for a new immigration program.

Hanh Nguyen, 75, arrested for placing a 9 month old PUPPY in front of her rear car tire, running him over— and leaving the tire on him for 15 SECONDS ensuring he died- before driving away in Southern California. The puppy was left dead on the road. What a psychopath. Remember the asian guy in Utah named Memphis Shuihan Lor who threw five puppies out of his vehicle on I-15? These are EVIL individuals.

Your kid needs 8 years and hundreds of thousands of dollars to become a resident doctor. High School → 4 years college → 4 years medical school → Residency Meanwhile, someone from India, Pakistan, or Sudan can finish a 5-year program after high school, come to US on H-1B/J-1 visa, and take the same residency. High School → 5 years medical school → Residency Why is it easier for them to become US doctors, and so much harder for our kids?

File this under “Really, really fucking bad idea!”
BREAKING: Trump administration prepares 90-day total diesel export ban, with Trump inclined to announce it by the end of the week, per Politico. Energy Secretary Chris Wright called energy CEOs on Tuesday night to tell them a 90-day ban was coming in the coming days, and a number of them immediately called the White House to push back. One oil industry executive who has discussed the ban with senior White House officials says Trump would consider any blowback and consequences "a December problem." An external adviser to the administration says there has been "a bunch of frantic outreach" searching for alternatives and calls the ban "a terrible idea," yet Trump is expecting to proceed anyways. It would be the first US diesel export ban in history, and Europe would be hit hardest as the biggest customer of the world's largest diesel exporter, with Russia, the second largest, already halted. US diesel is at a record $6.53 a gallon.

HUGE! FDA has now updated its rules to implement my FDA Modernization Act 2.0. My bill ended the Great Depression-era mandate that new drugs had to be tested on animals before human trials. We know validated alternatives can be used, so this is a better shot at safer drugs, faster reviews, and fewer obsolete animal tests.

**Medical Tuesday.** There is a program called Conrad 30. Most people have never heard of it. Hospitals use it every year. Here is the simple explanation of what is going on... A foreign doctor often enters the U.S. on a training visa called a J-1. The old rule said when training ends, go home for two years. Conrad 30 waives that rule. Each state gets 30 of those waivers a year. The doctor agrees to work three years in a place labeled underserved. Then the hospital can keep them on a work visa. Did you know they can then complain and get that waivered and then move on to wherever they want and most end up at these hospitals? Less than 15% of rural areas are served by them yet they should all be served by the numbers. That is how a training visit becomes a career here without Congress adding a single new residency seat for an American graduate. Now look at the bill with the long name. Conrad State 30 and Physician Access Reauthorization Act. 2025. Klobuchar and Collins in the Senate. Valadao and Schneider in the House. H.R. 1585 and S. 709. It does not train more American doctors. It keeps Conrad alive, lets states hand out more than 30 waivers, makes it easier for the doctor’s family to stay, and moves those physicians up the line for a green card. The hospital groups are on the letter. American Hospital Association. AMA. Teaching hospitals. They call it a rural fix. It has been the “temporary” fix for 30 years. Meanwhile the 1997 cap on Medicare-paid residency slots is still sitting there. American grads still hit that wall. The bill in front of Congress is more waivers, not more seats. If your town cannot find a doctor, ask why they will expand the foreign waiver before they will fund the American graduate already carrying the debt. Bookmark if you see the pattern. Quote or repost your observation. Comment below.

🚨🇪🇺 NATO just dropped this new promotional clip - to support all the other War Propaganda currently being fed for the masses, as Europe prepares for war with Russia. Note how there isn’t a single bit of ‘Diversity’ anywhere to be seen. Why? The Deep State Globalists are only interested in sending White Christian Europeans to their inevitable Death.

Steak and Shake: "The root of the rot is index funds." Most people aren't ready for this conversation, but investing in index funds means handing absurd amounts of influence to the executives of BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street. The "Big Three" have ingeniously harnessed the power of YOUR MONEY, steering corporate policy by voting on your behalf at shareholder meetings. To pick companies at random, the Big Three manage 22% of Moderna shares, 19% of Coca-Cola shares, and 25% of Target shares (as of last year). This gives them the muscle to push their ESG program: environment, social, governance. Thus you get people like Larry Fink saying ominous things like “At BlackRock we are forcing behaviors … You have to force behaviors." He can say that only because we turn our money over to him.
America’s corporate governance system is broken, and it’s killing public companies. Look no further than Cracker Barrel: Decades of brutal mismanagement have seen one incompetent CEO after another walk away with a massive paycheck while customers and actual shareholders take a beating. Why does this keep happening? Because proxy advisory firms like ISS are corrupt. They blindly rubber-stamp failing boards year after year, protecting the corporate elite while burning shareholder value to the ground. The root of the rot is index funds. There's no question that indexing one's money is a smart financial move for most people. But just because you passively index your investments doesn't mean your corporate votes should be handed over to the managers of your fund so they can play politics. Right now, passive funds hold massive, unchecked voting blocks while having zero skin in the game themselves. It is time for a simple rewrite of the rules: We need to index the votes of index fund investors. Passive index funds should be forced to automatically split their votes to proportionately mirror those of retail and active institutional shareholders — the people actually doing the research, risking their capital, and fighting for performance in the companies they hold shares in. No more rubber-stamping. A change like this will immediately strip corrupt gatekeepers like ISS of their toxic influence. True accountability happens when lazy, overpaid boards actually answer to the stakeholders they represent, rather than screwing them over. Actual, logic-driven governance when your money is passive happens when your vote passively follows the voting decisions of the actual market. We need to stop letting passive capital protect active incompetence. By stripping index funds of their arbitrary voting power and empowering engaged investors, we will finally torch corporate cronyism and usher American capital markets into a golden age of capitalism.

🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting after a 22-year-old who runs into BURNING BUILDINGS as a volunteer firefighter was told he isn't qualified to be a paid firefighter... ...because he was HOMESCHOOLED. Then the city changed the job posting to cover it up. His name is Andrew Coates. He's 22 years old, in Nebraska. Right now, today, he runs into burning buildings as a volunteer firefighter for Cedar Bluffs Fire. He is a state-licensed EMT. He is doing the job. For free. All he wanted was to get PAID to do it. In his words: "Make a career out of it would be the goal. To get paid to do what you love." So he applied to the Fremont Fire Department. And in April, the city rejected him. Why? Because his high school diploma says he was homeschooled. That's it. That's the whole disqualification. Not his EMT license. Not his fitness. Not his record. Not his experience pulling people out of fires ALREADY!! ...how he was educated. The job posting he applied to said "graduation from high school." That's all it said. He graduated high school. He has a diploma. And AFTER they rejected him, the city went back and added the word "accredited" to the job description. His own fire chief, the man who has watched Andrew work, showed up to defend him: "I feel the city of Fremont is really missing out here, and in my mind, because of his homeschooling, you guys are discriminating against him." Over THIRTY homeschool families showed up to stand behind this kid. And the Civil Service Commission? They said it isn't their job to touch city policy. Homeschoolers are literally a generation of kids who read ABOVE grade level, who work with their HANDS, who volunteer in their communities, who show up for their neighbors. And this young man is the proof. At 22, he's a certified EMT and a volunteer firefighter, while plenty of his peers are on a couch. When your house is on fire at 3 a.m., I promise you will not ask the man dragging your children out where he went to high school. You will not ask if his diploma was accredited. You will thank GOD he came. Andrew isn't even fighting for himself anymore. His words: "I think now it's turned into we want to make sure that every homeschooler has an equal opportunity." That's a better man than the policy that rejected him. Fremont, you have a licensed EMT and an active firefighter begging to serve your city. And you turned him down over paperwork, then rewrote the paperwork to cover it. Fix this. Hire him!!!!!!!

🚨 WHO WAS REALLY BEHIND THE PUSH FOR MORE H-1B VISAS? This reporting from Lee Fang is worth revisiting. Former Defense Secretary William Cohen publicly argued against restricting H-1B and outsourcing during the Obama years. He wrote in the Wall Street Journal: “For every job outsourced to Bangalore, nearly two jobs are created in Buffalo and other American cities.” He went on C-SPAN and argued globalization benefited American workers. He even specifically pointed to Tata Consultancy Services as an example of an Indian company creating American jobs. Here’s what Americans weren’t told: Tata was reportedly paying Cohen’s consulting firm at the time. Fang reports that relationship was not disclosed in Cohen’s Wall Street Journal byline or during his public advocacy. And Tata wasn’t some disinterested company in this debate. It was a major user of the H-1B program and an outsourcing company. Fang also points to the Southern California Edison case, where roughly 500 IT workers were laid off and some workers said they had to train replacements supplied by outsourcing firms including Tata. That’s what makes this story important. The company benefiting from the policy reportedly had a financial relationship with a prominent former government official publicly defending that policy, while that relationship wasn’t disclosed to the audience. When you hear that America’s economy “needs” more H-1B workers, it’s worth asking: Who is making the argument? And who is paying them? leefang.com/p/outsourcing-lo…
