Swiss-French Writer Imprisoned After Calling a Woman A ‘Fat Lesbian.’

A French-Swiss writer has been sentenced to 60 days imprisonment in Switzerland after he referred to a left-wing writer and commentator as a “fat lesbian,” “queer activist,” and “unhinged.”

Alain Bonnet, who writes under the nom de plume “Alain Soral,” was convicted by a court in the city of Lausanne of incitement to hatred, discrimination, and defamation on Monday afternoon. He was also ordered to pay legal costs as well as a hefty fine.

Bonnet, 65, was initially fined by a lower court for defamation, but the Vaud Public Prosecution’s Office believed that should to face prosecution for an alleged “incitement to hatred” and appealed the first-instance decision. As of 2020, Swiss law considers any discrimination based on sexual orientation to be a punishable offense.

Soral’s lawyers, Pascal Junod, argued after the verdict that the writer had been convicted of a “crime of opinion” and “sinned against the dogmas of single thought.” Junod added that Soral will file an appeal to the Swiss federal court and, if necessary, the European Court of Human Rights.

U.S. Adds Just 89k Jobs In September, Missing 150,000 Target.

U.S. private sector payroll increased by just 89,000 jobs in September, well below the 150,000 expected according to the ADP National Employment Report. The lackluster report signals the weakest U.S. labor market since January of 2021. Additionally, wage growth slowed to 5.9 percent – the 12th consecutive month of decline.

The lower-than-expected job numbers come as bad news for President Joe Biden as he ramps up his 2024 re-election campaign. With weakening in the labor market likely to continue as a result of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hikes, the Biden campaign’s decision to lean into ‘Bidenomics‘ may backfire. Employment sectors that make up core parts of the Democrat Party’s base – including trade, transportation, utilities, and manufacturing – all saw significant losses according to the report. Growth in service sector made up a bulk of the job gains.

ADP’s employment report has a mixed history of successfully forecasting job gains as reported by the U.S. government’s Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The BLS will release their official non-farm payroll numbers for September this Friday. Economists expect the government agency to report 170,000 were added last month, down from 187,000 in August.

Dems in Panic As Party Fails To Hit Its Own Diversity Targets.

Democrat officials are increasingly concerned the party is unable to meet its own stringent diversity standards and targets, supposedly running the risk of next summer’s convention delegates being “too white” when the party nominee for the 2024 presidential election is chosen.

The Democrat National Committee (DNC) sets its diversity targets by accounting for eligible voters from almost all identities other than white people. Their targets include black Americans, Latinos, Asians, Pacific Islanders, Native Americans, LGBT people, young voters, and those with disabilities. The committee then calculates what the right amount should be from each group, with the figure varying from state to state.

The party often sets targets at far higher rates than what is proportionate to the population, such as in California, where the diversity target for black voters is 12 percent despite black Americans comprising just six and a half percent of the Golden State’s inhabitants.

“I keep looking at these diversity goals in big states like New York, like California. And, for some reason, whether it’s the African American community, Black community, the LGBTQ+ community, or Hispanic community, [the] numbers continue to decrease,” stated Democrat strategist Donna Brazile at a recent committee meeting in Washington D.C.

Former Hillary Clinton campaign staffer Maria Cardona expressed similar concern, explaining, “this number seems to be going in the wrong direction here.”

Officials fear that the lack of diversity reflects the collapse in support among minority groups for Joe Biden, with many getting behind former President Donald Trump.

Indeed, President Biden has witnessed a near 20-point drop in support from the black community and Latinos, whereas Trump has seen his support among black voters jump from eight to 20 percent since 2020.

Foreign-Born Workers in U.S. At ‘All-Time High’.

The number of foreign-born workers in the United States is now just under 32 million, representing an all-time high and rising nearly 10 million in the past three years alone under the Biden government, according to statistics from the U.S. Department of Labour.

The percentage of foreign-born workers is also at a record 18.5 percent as of August this year, breaking the previous record of 18 percent set in 2022, with records dating back to 1996. The total number of foreign nationals arriving in the country to work each month is 65,000 higher this year than compared to 2022.

The rise comes following the Biden government issuing a staggering one million work visas last year – a 25-year high – with around 500,000 green cards granted, in addition to the skyrocketing levels of illegal migration marching across the Southern Border.

Yet, despite the increase, the Biden government announced it would nearly half a million – 470,000 – Venezuelans work permits as a means of “easing the financial strain on major migrant destinations.”

The vast majority of foreign workers seldom find employment in higher-paying industries due to language or vocational restrictions. Worse still, “foreign-born workers often don’t have the time or the wealth to enter a costly training process” for a higher-paying job, explains Ryan Nunn, a researcher at the Minneapolis Federal Reserve.

Chicago’s O’Hare International Hosting Migrants on Terminal Floors.

Local police stations as well as Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport have been turned into makeshift migrant accommodation in the windy city’. Some of the police stations have been closed down due to recent outbreaks of scabies, with concerns that the iconic airport is next to shutter.

O’Hare is hosting hundreds of migrants, who are using airport restrooms as communal bathrooms as well as sleeping on cardboard bedding on terminal floors and staying for weeks at a time. The airport has seen black cloth walls erected in public areas, meant to hide the migrants from view.

Scabies is not the only disease being carried across the southern border by the migrant wave, however, with sheriffs reporting “all types of diseases like tuberculosis, scabies, COVID, hepatitis A and B, gonorrhea, syphilis, mumps, chicken pox, [and] dengue fever” among the illegal arrivals.

Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker vowed to “stand up for sanctuary cities and make Illinois a welcoming place” in 2018, and shared remarks by Hillary Clinton about “tearing down barriers” instead of “building walls” in 2016. Chicago Mayor Johnson, similarly, insisted “Chicago must lead with and live by the promise to be a sanctuary city” as recently as March.

Both Democrats are now complaining they are at “breaking point”, however, as conservative border states that never supported their open borders platform are taking them at their word and sending them a small portion of the migrants crossing over from Mexico daily.

WATCH: DeSantis Backer Chip Roy Tells MAGA ‘F***ers’ to ‘Kiss My A**’ During Meltdown Comparing Himself to D-Day Soldier.

Texas Congressman and Ron DeSantis surrogate Chip Roy had a full-blown meltdown at the “MAGA camp” after Kevin McCarthy’s ouster as Speaker of the House of Representatives by Matt Gaetz, comparing himself to a soldier on D-Day and urging the Florida Governor to “restore order”.

“Some of our brothers and sisters, particularly in the, uh, you know, MAGA camp, I think, particularly enjoy the circular firing squad,” he said of McCarthy’s removal for failing to honor his commitments to America First conservatives on spending, border security, the Ukraine war, and impeaching Joe Biden.

“You want to come at me and call me a RINO? You can kiss my ass,” he seethed to Steve Deace, a fellow DeSantis booster, who recently said America’s Founding Fathers are “in Hell for all of eternity” because they did not “repent of owning slaves”.

“I have laid it all on the line, I’ve not seen my family for two days in the last 30 days. You go around talking your big game and thumping your chests on Twitter? Yeah, come to my office and come have a debate, mother!”

“I’m not gonna give up, I’m not gonna go to a nunnery, because God damn it there are people who are buried over in Normandy who deserve us to stand up for what they fought for,” Roy railed, adding that “all of you fuckers out there who are out there saying what you’re saying out on social media, you stick it! I’m going to go down to the floor and do my job, and I’m going to stand up for the people who fought for this country.”

“What happened to a country where we can’t even have order? You want to know what Ron DeSantis should be talking about, is being the Governor who can restore order as President of the United States,” he added.

Deace, in the clip below, also admits to being “paid to care,” about politics.

Musk Sued for ‘False Flag’ Claims.

Elon Musk is being sued for $1 million by a college graduate alleging that the owner of X (formerly Twitter) falsely accused him of being an undercover federal agent who participated in a fight with the Proud Boys in Oregon earlier this year.

Benjamin Brody, 22, was falsely identified as a member of the Rose City Nationalists – a Neo-Nazi organization – on Musk’s social media platform after one of the group’s members bearing a resemblance to Brody had their mask pulled down during the fight. X users also highlighted Brody’s ambition to work for the government after graduation as another giveaway.

As a result, users attributed the fight to a “false flag operation” by the United States government. Musk himself posted: “Looks like one is a college student (who wants to join the govt) and another is maybe an Antifa member, but nonetheless a probable false flag situation.”

Brody claims that he was subjected to a harassment campaign and was doxxed multiple times after the post. The lawsuit, filed on Monday, demands a trial by jury in Texas.

The lawsuit further states, “Musk’s personal endorsement of the false accusation against Ben Brody reverberated across the internet, transforming the accusation from anonymous rumor to gospel truth for many individuals.”

Brody’s attorney, Mark Bankston, who also filed proceedings against Alex Jones over the latter’s comments on the Sandy Hook shooting, took to X to announce, “I have filed suit against yet another notorious disseminator of false information: The owner of this platform, Elon Musk.”

“Musk will not stop until someone stops him,” Bankston added.

Kev-OUT! Gaetz Ousts McCarthy From Speakership.

Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) successfully ousted Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) as Speaker of the House. The motion to vacate by Gaetz comes in response to the House passing a temporary government funding measure – without the spending cuts or border funding pushed for by conservative members – after McCarthy allowed a vote on the floor. In addition, Gaetz has accused McCarthy of having cut a secret side deal on Ukraine funding with President Joe Biden and Congressional Democrats.

Following the vote the designated Speaker pro tempore moved to adjourn the House. Republicans will now caucus and begin the process of determining who they will nominate to be serve as the new Speaker. House rules do not prohibit McCarthy from being renominated for the Speakership. Republican Reps. Ken Buck, Byron Donalds, Tom Emmer, Steve Scalise, Jim Jordan, Mike Johnson, and Jodey Arrington have all been floated as potential candidates for Speaker. In theory the Speaker does not have to be a Member of Congress, leading a few House conservatives to pitch the idea of naming former Donald Trump as Speaker.

After Republicans retook the majority in the House of Representatives following the 2022 mid-term elections, it took 15 rounds of voting for McCarthy to successfully win the Speakership. The California Republican was only able to secure a majority of votes after making several critical concessions to House conservatives. House leadership’s violations of those concessions is what partially fueled the vote for McCarthy’s ouster.

UK BANS Sex Offenders Changing Gender to Hide Identities.

British Home Secretary Suella Braverman is set to introduce legislation prohibiting sex offenders from changing their name or gender to avoid their identity being listed on the sex offenders register.

Several government agencies, including the Department for Work and Pensions, the British Passport Office, the DVLA, and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS), will merge so that if their personal details do change, the DBS will be immediately notified.

The current law requires sex offenders to register their new names with the police within three days of the change, with the onus being placed solely on the sex offender – a convicted criminal – to comply with the law.

There were roughly 12,000 sex offenders between 2019 and 2022 who did not register their new identity with the police. Many used their new names to evade the police and find employment in schools or homes where they went on to re-offend.

“No longer will the rights of a sex offender be given priority over the protection of societies most vulnerable,” stated the chief executive of the Safeguarding Alliance, Emily Konstantas.

“This change could not have come quick enough and is the biggest change to safeguarding legislation to date,” she added.
