Jewish neighborhoods in France, home to the single largest Muslim population in Western Europe, have grown quiet since the Hamas terror raid on Israel on October 7th, with small business owners reporting their trading has been cut in half as Jews minimize their contact with an often hostile outside world.
“People are afraid, in a state of shock, they’ve lost their love for life,” one kosher pizzeria manager told the press. “My business is down 50 percent, there’s no bustle in the street, nobody taking a stroll,” he added.
France has logged over 500 anti-Semitic incidents in the last three weeks – more than in all 2022 – from calls to genocide graffitied on walls up to violent assaults. Synagogues, Jewish community centers, and schools have had armed police and even soldiers posted to them amid a heightened terror threat, adding to a sense of a community under siege.
French Jews are not the only people at risk from Islamists, however, with the general population also being targeted in multiple terrorist attacks over the years, some involving mass casualties. The most recent, which happened following the Hamas attack in Israel, saw a teacher named as Dominique Bernard stabbed to death by a Chechen refugee.

Officials reported a significant uptick in turnout for early voting with less than a week remaining in Ohio’s state-wide elections.
They anticipate both the number of in-person votes and mail-in ballot submissions to experience large increases, with Melanie Amato, the Secretary of State’s office director of communications, disclosing that more than 200,000 people have already voted in person, and approximately 110,000 mail-in ballots have been tallied.
Compared to previous data, these figures demonstrate a noteworthy surge. The stats surpass the August pre-election numbers of 192,000 in-person voters and 93,000 mail-in ballots.
Polling stations will welcome Ohioans on November 7th, where locals will also be casting votes on two critical statewide issues: access to abortion in the state, and legalizing possession of marijuana.

Pamela Price, the George Soros-backed Alameda County District Attorney (DA), had her laptop stolen during a car burglary outside an Oakland family justice center on Friday. The Oakland Police Department (OPD) confirmed that “multiple individuals” broke into Price’s $90,000 SUV by smashing a window shortly after her bodyguard parked the vehicle outside the justice center. Several items were stolen in the raid. Price was then forced to wait roughly an hour for police to arrive before giving up and registering the incident online, reports suggest.
Price, who accepted a $130,000 donation from Soros in her failed attempt to become DA in 2018, promised to offer so-called “justice transformation” to her county’s residents before being elected DA in 2022.
She has since faced relentless criticism for her soft-on-crime policies, which have caused crime in her jurisdiction to skyrocket over recent months. In 2023, all violent crime has increased by 21 percent in Alameda County compared to last year, with motor vehicle theft increasing by 51 percent, burglary by 39 percent, armed robbery by 38 percent, and shootings by six percent.
Tensions between residents and Price reached breaking point during a community meeting earlier this year in which she was condemned for her “failed leadership” as well as “unwillingness to charge and prosecute people who murder and commit life threatening serious crimes.”
Price is the second Soros-backed DA to experience the effects of their own soft-on-crime policies after Louisiana District DA Jason Williams was carjacked earlier this month.

New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin is bringing multiple criminal charges against two Democrats – Alex Mendez and Dr. Henrilynn Ibezim – over alleged election fraud in state elections between 2020 and 2021.
Mendez, President of Paterson City Council, is facing a set of fresh charges relating to mail-in-ballot election fraud after he already faced charges in June 2020 and February 2021.
Platkin alleges Mendez collected a large number of ballots from households in violation of New Jersey state law as candidates cannot themselves collect and return ballots for the district in which they are running. The attorney general’s office also claims Mendez’s campaign actively destroyed and replaced ballots if they did not support him, and that he completed ballots if left uncompleted, among a number of other things.
Mendez has been charged with conspiracy to commit election fraud, fraud in casting mail-in votes, unauthorized possession of ballots, tampering with public records, forgery, and falsifying records.
“We allege that Mendez and his associates unlawfully collected ballots and tampered with ballots to give him an unfair edge in the race for the 3rd Ward seat on the Paterson City Council” before “He… allegedly set about undermining our investigation into his and his campaign workers’ unlawful activities,” stated Thomas Eicher, the Executive Director of the Office of Public Integrity and Accountability.
Ibezim, who stood as a candidate in a Plainfield mayoral election in 2021, has been charged with allegedly directing associates to fill out blank registration applications and bringing nearly 1,000 to a post office. He also allegedly arrived at a post office on “May 18, 2021, carrying a large white garbage bag” believed to be holding registration applications.
Ibezim “allegedly resorted to fraud in an alleged attempt to unfairly prevail in this election. This desperate attempt to artificially and illegally inflate support for his candidacy was designed to not only cheat his political opponents out of a victory, but also to cheat the people of Plainfield out of their right to choose their elected officials,” stated Eicher upon announcing the charges.

House Speaker Mike Johnson believes Joe Biden “very likely” committed impeachable offenses is committed to “follow the truth wherever it leads.”
Under his Speakership, Johnson said, the House investigation into whether the Biden family financially benefited from foreign connections during his time as Vice President. Johnson drew attention to possible bribery, listed in the Constitution as a reason for impeachment, saying, “Bribery’s listed there, and it looks and smells a lot like that.”
“The reason we shifted to the impeachment inquiry stage on the president himself was because if, in fact, all the evidence leads where we believe it will, that’s very likely impeachment,” he explained.
The Speaker added, however, that House Republicans are “going to engage in due process because, again, we’re the rule of law party… [P]eople are getting anxious and they’re getting restless, and they just want somebody to be impeached, but we don’t do that like the other team.”
House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer is currently pressing Biden on why he received a $200,000 check from James Biden on the same day his brother received a similar amount from a U.S. health corporation.
President Biden claims the check was repayment for a loan, but Rep. Comer is demanding evidence, asking White House consel Edward Siskel to “provide the loan documents, including the loan payment, loan agreement, and any other supporting loan documentation” that would substantiate Biden’s explanation.

Behind-the-scenes political intrigue exclusively for Pulse+ subscribers.
A massive 22,187 Chinese nationals were arrested crossing the U.S. southern border between January and the end of September, representing an almost thirteen-fold increase on the same period last year. The number of Chinese crossings appears to be accelerating, with arrests in September up by 70 percent compared to August, for a total of over 4,000.
Many of the Chinese illegals, who are overwhelmingly lone adults, begin their journey in Ecuador, which allows visa-free travel for Chinese nationals. From there, they join migrants of many other nationalities for the long march north through the Darien Gap, a roadless land route from South America to North America, covered in thick rainforest.
While fewer than 400 Chinese nationals are recorded as having made the arduous trek in over a decade from 2010 to 2021, the figure rose to 2,005 in 2022. So far in 2023, officials in Panama say they have registered 15,567 Chinese slogging through the Gap.
While a small fraction of the migrants entering the United States under Joe Biden’s lax border regime overall, Chinese illegals are suspected by many to represent a unique security threat, given the possibility of spies and other Chinese Communist Party (CCP) agents among their ranks, and the unusually strong hold the CCP regime is able to exercise over its expatriates abroad.

The George Soros-backed ‘Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington’ (CREW) is arguing in a Colorado court this week that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment disqualifies former President Donald Trump from the 2024 election ballot. The judge overseeing the case appears to be as equally radical-left and partisan as CREW itself.
INSURRECTION.
“Four years after taking an oath to ‘preserve, protect and defend’ the Constitution as President of the United States… Trump tried to overthrow the results of the 2020 election, leading to a violent insurrection at the United States Capitol to stop the lawful transfer of power to his successor,” the CREW lawsuit states.
“By instigating this unprecedented assault on the American constitutional order, Trump violated his oath and disqualified himself under the Fourteenth Amendment from holding public office, including the Office of the President.”
During Trump’s presidency, CREW waged a campaign of frivolous lawsuits against the president and those who served his administration. Often, the lawsuits would use tortured interpretations of obscure constitutional provisions in the hopes of finding a ‘silver bullet’ that would remove either Trump himself or his appointees from office. The Soros-backed group’s novel legal arguments failed to sway any judges at the time, but a rigorous effort of “venue shopping” landed CREW a friendly judge in Colorado it appears.
JUDGE SARAH WALLACE, LEFTIST.
Colorado District Judge Sarah B. Wallace, who will hear the case this week, has a history of making partisan-liberal political donations and has openly expressed disdain for former President Donald Trump. Wallace, appointed by a Democrat governor, is a financial backer of the far-left Colorado Turnout Project (CTP) – an organization dedicated to preventing politicians who “refused to condemn the political extremists who stormed the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021″ from holding office. Wallace donated to CTP as recently as last year.
Campaign finance records show Judge Wallace has also made campaign contributions to Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA), the Colorado Democrat Party, former Senator Doug Jones (D-AL), and Jamie Harrison a failed Democrat candidate for U.S. Senate in South Carolina who now runs the Democratic National Committee (DNC). CREW, meanwhile, is a member of the Democrat dark money cartel overseen by Arabella Advisors and their network of non-profits that serve as clearing houses for contributions made by far-left foundations and liberal billionaires.
KEEPING TRUMP OFF THE BALLOT.
The 14th Amendment argument being brought by CREW against former President Trump is a novel legal theory that has been met with little enthusiasm by election officials and legal scholars in other states thus far. This past August, New Hampshire Secretary of State David Scanlan brushed aside the idea Trump is disqualified from the ballot by the 14th Amendment. Scanlan said Trump would appear on the New Hampshire ballot along with the other qualifying candidates.
Steven Calabresi, a law professor who co-founded the Federalist Society and the originator of the argument claiming the 14th Amendment disqualifies Trump from the ballot, now says his idea and interpretation of the constitutional provision are wrong.
Calabresi points to the fact that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment specifically disqualifies “officers of the United States” who have taken and betrayed an oath to uphold the Constitution. According to Calabresi, the President or Vice-President are not disqualified under this provision as they are the officials vested by the Constitution to appoint said “officers” and not officers themselves.
Judge Wallace has denied five separate motions by former President Trump’s legal team to dismiss the case so far. The trial, which begins today, is expected to last the entire week. If CREW prevails, it would likely be appealed all of the way to the United States Supreme Court.

The death of German-Israeli woman Shani Louk has been confirmed by Israel’s foreign ministry following a vicious attack in Gaza by Hamas terrorists. A video revealing her semi-naked body on the back of a truck surrounded by terrorists was widely circulated on social media, leading to the ministry’s recognition. “We are devastated to share that the death of 23-year-old German-Israeli Shani Louk has been confirmed,” Israel’s foreign ministry reported. Louk was reportedly abducted from a music festival near Kibbutz Re’im on October 7 when terrorists stormed the location, leading to the demise of over 260 individuals.
In the brutal Hamas terror attack that specifically targeted the festival among other areas of Israel such as towns and military bases on the same day, the casualty count was over 1,400, with 200 people reported kidnapped. Louk’s identification was made possible by distinct features like dreadlocks and tattoos. In a disturbing video, the young woman was shown stripped down to her underwear as Hamas gunmen grimly paraded her around.
Ricarda Louk, the mother of the victim, originally had hope that her daughter was still alive, despite a severe head injury, as reportedly cited by Palestinian sources. However, she later confirmed her daughter’s demise.
“Unfortunately we received news yesterday that my daughter is no longer alive,” she told German broadcaster RTL/ntv.
Confirmation from the Israel Defense Forces suggests the number of those kidnapped in the October 7 attacks stands at 239, excluding four hostages who have been released. In retaliation to the attacks, Israel has initiated an extensive airstrike operation in Gaza, claimed to have caused over 8,000 casualties.

German Minister of Defense Boris Pistorius has warned of the looming threat of a violent conflict igniting on the European continent, explaining during a television interview this weekend that a new mentality has to be adopted across society to tackle the increased risks of violent conflict.
“We have to become war-ready.”
— Boris Pistorius, October 2023.
“We have to get used to the idea again that the danger of war in Europe could threaten. And that means: We have to become war-ready,” he Pistorius said, adding that bolstering Germany‘s defense capabilities is the best means of avoiding future escalations.
But what he called decades of rot will be hard to fix in 18 months, the Defense Minister noted, also suggesting Germany’s armed forces will look “completely different” by the end of the decade.
It was discovered earlier this year that the nation’s ammunition stockpiles have dropped below NATO’s required levels.
Germany’s apathy towards military spending was highlighted by former President Donald Trump, who called the country “delinquent” after it failed to adequately contribute to NATO, instead relying predominantly on the United States to guarantee its own defense.
