Extreme Left Wins French Elections But Riots Anyway, Macron’s Prime Minister Resigns.

The extreme left has won the French legislative elections after striking an anti-populist pact with President Emmanuel Macron’s globalist Ensemble bloc. Marine Le Pen’s National Rally (RN) placed first in the election’s first round, with the far-left New Popular Front (NFP) coalition in second and the Macronists a distant third. The pact, which saw NFP candidates stand aside for Ensemble where they had the better chance of defeating RN, and vice versa, saw the far left rise to first place and the Macronists rise to second, with Le Pen’s party in third.

Jordan Bardella, the RN president who would have become Prime Minister had the populists won the election, called the “unnatural” left-globalist pact a “dishonorable alliance” that has “thrown France to Jean-Luc Melenchon’s extreme left,” referring to the leader of the France Unbowed party that the NPF centers on. Le Pen herself says the election shows the “tide is rising,” with more RN lawmakers in the National Assembly than ever. “Our victory has only been delayed,” she insists.

Meanwhile, the French far left, which rioted after RN won the election’s first round, rioted again, despite winning.

‘UNTENABLE.’

President Emmanuel Macron called the legislative election on short notice after RN won the European elections in France. He likely believed the populists lacked the resources to fight another election so soon and could be robbed of their momentum.

While Macron’s eleventh-hour alliance with the extreme left has successfully blocked a populist government, it may prove as damaging to him as to Le Pen. His handpicked prime minister, Gabriel Attal, is already tendering his resignation, though he will remain in post as a so-called caretaker for now.

Jean-Luc Melenchon, whose coalition partners include the French Communist Party, wants economic policies far to the left of Macron’s, including tens of billions of dollars in tax hikes, over a hundred billion dollars in additional spending, and reversing Macron’s increase of the state pension age from 62 to 64.

More concerningly for the European establishment, he is a staunch ally of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), a critic of the European Union (EU), and favors leaving NATO. He also opposes arming Ukraine. In 2014, he supported Russia’s annexation of Crimea as a “protective measure against an adventurous putschist power.”

“The Russian nation cannot allow the North Americans and NATO to settle on their doorstep,” he added.

These differences guarantee a huge fight between the far left and the Macronists over the coming weeks, as neither have an outright majority in the National Assembly.

Macron’s presidential term does not expire until 2027 and he claims he will not resign. However, Le Pen believes his position is now “untenable.”

FARAGE BREAKS THROUGH: Reform Party Predicted to Win 13 Seats as ‘Conservatives’ Collapse.

An exit poll released as voting ends in the British election projects a historic breakthrough for Nigel Farage’s Reform Party. The populists are projected to win 13 seats in the House of Commons.

The Labour Party led by Sir Keir Starmer is projected to have won a historic landslide, as predicted, earning an estimated 410 seats to 131 for the Conservatives, who have led Britain for 14 years.

British pollster John Curtice notes the Conservatives seem to have “fallen far in seats they previously held,” while “Reform has advanced most in areas people voted Leave in the 2016 EU referendum.”

“It looks as though Reform may win more seats than many polls suggested,” he observes, adding that “how many seats Reform will win is highly uncertain,” with models suggesting “there are many places where they have some—but a relatively low—chance of winning.”

However, Farage himself is said to have a 99 percent chance of winning the Clacton-on-Sea constituency (electoral district) he is contesting.

British exit polls, based on surveys of voters who have cast their ballots, are typically highly accurate, with no significant errors since 1992.

New Dutch Government Promises to Slash Mass Migration.

Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof delivered his inaugural address to parliament on Wednesday, expressing a commitment to curbing immigration. Schoof, who ascended to the prime minister’s office after months of negotiations between populist and center-right political parties to form a government, stated: “The biggest of those concerns is asylum and migration. That is the crux of the matter, no matter how you look at it.”

Schoof, 67, is a former chief of Dutch intelligence and counterterrorism. His appointment occurred amidst the formation of a new coalition government following the collapse of the previous governing coalition on July 7 of last year. The anti-mass migration Party for Freedom, led by Geert Wilders, secured the largest number of seats in the country’s November 2023 election. However, it took 223 days to establish a four-party coalition, as opposition from other coalition partners prevented Wilders from obtaining the premiership.

The governing coalition includes Wilders‘ Party for Freedom (PVV), former Prime Minister Mark Rutte‘s center-right People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy, the populist Farmer Citizen Movement, and the New Social Contract party. Its guiding document, ‘Hope, Courage, and Pride,’ outlines stringent asylum measures, abolishes family reunification (chain immigration) for refugees, and aims to decrease the number of international students in the Netherlands.

“Migration puts too much pressure on social services and social cohesion. The asylum and migration figures are high and so is the pressure on society,” Schoof told lawmakers.

Conversely, opposition leader Frans Timmermans—of the social democrat-green alliance—harshly criticized the new government, labeling the Party for Freedom-inspired policies “racist.” He also announced plans to submit a motion of no-confidence against two cabinet members from Wilders‘ party.

In response, Wilders denied any allegations of “Nazi racist theories” among his party colleagues.

‘Conservatives’ Compare Farage’s ‘Un-British’ Mega Rallies to Nazi Germany.

Nigel Farage’s rival from Britain’s governing Conservative (Tory) Party in the Clacton constituency (electoral district) is complaining his mega rallies are “reminiscent of the big rallies at Nuremberg” under Adolf Hitler.

“It’s a personality cult that’s been created. There may be no evil intent, but it feels wrong and bad,” Conservative candidate Giles Watling whined, apparently unable to conceive of a politician popular enough with the public to draw a substantial crowd.

Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, attended a “massive, Trump-style rally” for Nigel Farage and his Reform Party in Birmingham, England’s second city, over the weekend, describing it as “incredible” and observing that “this sort of thing doesn’t really happen in England.”

Watling concurs, but considers the idea of a politician capable of attracting mass support “chilling” and claims the rallies are a “very un-British way of doing things.”

Farage is defending his supporters, chastising Watling for having “contempt for the thousands of decent people who turned up in Birmingham… and those who come to my rallies in Clacton.”

“They are decent, law-abiding citizens. How dare he insult them like that?” he said.

Non-Binary Biden Official Gifted Another Sweetheart Deal over Airport Underwear Thefts.

Former Joe Biden regime official Sam Brinton has avoided jail time after pleading guilty to misdemeanor petit larceny in a plea deal announced last week in Arlington General District Court. Brinton, formerly a highly-paid nuclear official at the Department of Energy, initially faced felony charges that could have resulted in a 20-year sentence.

Brinton admits to stealing luggage belonging to Tanzanian fashion designer Asya Khamsin six years ago at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. As part of a plea agreement, the non-binary Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence “abbess” will participate in an adult diversion program, which includes mental health treatment, writing an apology letter to Khamsin, and 50 hours of community service. The charges were reduced from grand larceny.

This is the third time the drag queen has avoided incarceration for stealing women’s luggage for their underwear and other clothing while on government business.

In a related civil case filed in Montgomery County, Maryland, Brinton has reached a settlement with Khamsin, agreeing to an undisclosed financial payment and issuing a personal apology.

Brinton was arrested in May of last year as a “fugitive from justice,” months after The National Pulse exposed the “gender non-binary” former official as a luggage thief and a defender of “rentboy.com,” a site that was raided by authorities over illegal prostitution claims.

Globalists and Far Left Unite to Thwart Populist Victory.

Globalist and far-left candidates in France are strategically uniting ahead of the July 7 second round of the French legislative elections. They aim to thwart the National Rally (RN) party led by Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella, which won the first round, from earning a majority.

Over 200 candidates from both the New Popular Front—centered on Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s far-left France Unbowed party—and the Ensemble bloc—centered on President Emmanuel Macron’s globalist Renaissance party—have withdrawn from district races to give each other’s candidates a better chance of defeating RN.

The New Popular Front placed second in the first round, with the Macronists falling to third place.

Mélenchon has done a better job forcing his third-placed candidates to stand aside than Macron. The Ensemble camp faces internal divisions, with some reluctant to endorse far-left candidates due to economic and foreign policy disagreements.

Only candidates who secured over 50 percent of the vote in the first round are already guaranteed a seat in the National Assembly. Three or more candidates have qualified for the second round in over 300 districts out of 577, with the number of races that will be reduced to two-way contests due to withdrawals not yet officially confirmed by the Interior Ministry but likely to be substantial.

Biden Didn’t JUST Need a Teleprompter for Private Remarks. These Other Details Are WILD.

Joe Biden reportedly required a teleprompter to deliver a few brief remarks at an East Hampton fundraiser over the weekend, raising further questions about his fitness. Supporters at the event were alarmed Biden needed a teleprompter to deliver his remarks, with one attendee saying, “If you believe the stakes of the race are what they are… you can’t be like, ‘No, you all didn’t see what you just saw.'”

Following Biden’s disastrous debate performance last Thursday, some Democrat lawmakers—along with the corporate media—have been openly critical of the White House’s handling of the 81-year-old incumbent. The lack of access granted to Biden by his inner circle has especially been a point of contention.

“He doesn’t take advice from anyone other than those few top aides, and it becomes a perfect storm because he just gets more and more isolated from their efforts to control it,” a senior official said. They added that many staffers are “scared shitless” of setting Biden off during briefings.

The shocking revelation as to the extent of Biden’s cognitive decline has thrown his re-election campaign into chaos. Some donors are even asking the Biden campaign to refund their contributions. Julie Chavez Rodriguez, Biden’s campaign manager, emphasized on a call with major donors on Sunday that if Biden stepped down as the Democratic nominee, only Vice President Kamala Harris could access the current campaign funds.

Despite the overwhelming criticism, Biden’s son Hunter and wife Jill are pushing for him to remain in the race.

Cops Intimidate Voter Over Sign Supporting Farage’s Reform Party

Police visited a voter who was displaying a sign in support of Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party on his home after authorities received a complaint from a neighbor of the man.

The X account “Voice of Wales” posted a video of a police officer visiting the home and displaying the sign. The officer explained that he was taking photographs of the sign after receiving a complaint.

The account added that the complaint may have come from a charity that bought a home next door to the man, stating it intended to house migrants in the home.

The video also shows the police officer photographing a “Lest We Forget” flag, which honors those who served in the British military.

Nigel Farage and Reform UK have made mass migration a central pillar of their election campaign heading into the UK General Election on July 4.

Farage called for a policy of zero net migration when kicking off his campaign in Clacton in early June, stating that Britain should not take in more people per year than those who leave the country.  “We cannot go on as we are. We have to limit numbers,” Farage told the BBC.

According to polling, Farage’s and Reform UK’s policies have struck a note with voters. The polling suggests that the party could win as many as 18 seats in the election, while the leftist Party is expected to win one of the largest majorities in nearly a hundred years.

Populists Win French Election 1st Round, But…

Marine Le Pen’s National Rally (RN) party has won the first round of France’s snap legislative elections, with the globalist Ensemble (Together) bloc formed around President Emmanuel Macron’s Renaissance party falling to third place. However, Macron’s globalists and the far-left New Popular Front (NFP) can still prevent the populists from taking government by allying ahead of the election’s second round on July 7.

RN won with a plurality rather than a majority of the popular vote, with 33.2 percent—slightly higher than the 31.37 percent RN secured in the recent European Parliament elections. The NFP placed second, with 28 percent, with Ensemble a distant third, with 20 percent.

“Democracy has spoken, and the French have put the RN and its allies at the top, practically wiping out the Macron camp,” said Le Pen, calling for “an absolute majority” in the second round so RN party president  Jordan Bardella “can be appointed Prime Minister in a week’s time.”

In the French system, a candidate must win over 50 percent of the vote in their electoral district to secure a National Assembly seat in the first round of legislative elections. The second round eliminates candidates who receive less than 12.5 percent of registered voter support. The candidate with the most votes among the remaining candidates wins.

WHAT NOW? 

Historically, parties of the far left, center-left, and center-right hammer out district-level pacts to block the populist right at this stage. Jean-Luc Melenchon, de facto leader of the NFP, has said it is standing down in districts where it placed third to give Macron’s globalists a better chance of defeating the RN candidate. Macron has been less explicit about his intentions but also says, “Faced with the National Rally, it is time for a large, clearly democratic and republican rally for the second round.”

The election’s outcome hinges on whether first-round far-left voters and globalist voters are willing to back each other’s parties in the second round. Polling is mixed, with an Odoxa survey showing 41 percent of voters are willing to switch parties to block RN—but 47 percent are willing to switch parties to block NFP, and 44 percent are willing to switch parties to block Ensemble.

The behavior of voters for Les Republicains (the Republicans) could be critical. The so-called center-right party has traditionally sided with the left against RN, but party leader Eric Ciotti proposed a first-of-its-kind pact with Le Pen ahead of this election. This has been partially implemented despite party officials in the same mold as the Mitt Romney wing of the GOP deposing him in a chaotic process—which he contests—over the proposal.

If enough Republican voters switch to RN in the second round, the populists could eke out a slim majority.

WATCH: Farage’s ‘Massive, Trump-Style Rally’ a ‘Critical Moment’ for Populist-Nationalist Movement.

Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, attended a “massive, Trump-style rally” for Nigel Farage and his Reform Party in Birmingham, England’s second city, over the weekend. Kassam, a former advisor to Farage, said the scale of the event was “incredible,” as “this sort of thing doesn’t really happen in England.”

“Before Nigel Farage and the Reform Party really threw their lot into this election cycle, it was sort of the same old uni-party stuff,” he explained. “Boring, from the far-left Labour Party. Boring, from the governing Conservative Party. And now you see, across the country, whether it’s in London, whether it’s in Clacton where Farage is standing, whether it’s here in Birmingham, whether it’s in the North [of England] in places like Sunderland, people are desperate for change.”

Kassam stressed that “critically,” voters are now “willing to do something about it; they’re willing to wear their politics on their sleeve.”

“This is a critical moment for the populist-nationalist movement all across the Western world,” he concluded, describing the Birmingham rally as “ground zero.”

Britain’s snap election takes place on July 4.
