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France Unbowed party—and the Ensemble bloc—centered on President Emmanuel Macron’s globalist Renaissance party—have withdrawn from district races to give each other’s candidates a better chance of defeating RN.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.

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.

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.
This needs to be seen by everyone, especially @Nigel_Farage Today, @swpolice turned up at a friends house regarding his @reformparty_uk general election sign on his house, it gets better.. The complaint came from a charity who has just bought the house next door to move… pic.twitter.com/IIyv12Sthp
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.

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.
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.

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.”

Deep State officials, from diplomats and civil servants to state school teachers and state-funded doctors, are vowing to defy a new populist government if Marine Le Pen’s National Rally (RN) party wins the French snap elections.
The French right has failed to form a united front for the short-notice legislative elections on June 30 and July 7 in spectacular fashion, reducing their chances of winning an outright majority. However, RN is still projected to place first, with President Emmanuel Macron’s Renaissance party falling to third place behind a far-left coalition, meaning a populist government is possible.
Members of the 2.5 million-strong state bureaucracy threaten to defy an RN-led government’s policies. “I cannot execute the policies of the National Rally… It is the heir to Vichy, a party whose stock in trade is inciting hatred of foreigners,” said one anonymous prefect, a form of regional governor responsible for security and law and order.
Similarly, a group of 170 diplomats has publicly declared, “We diplomats cannot accept that a victory by the far right should weaken France and Europe while there is war,” suggesting they would undermine policies in opposition to the European Union (EU) and ongoing involvement in the war in Ukraine.
‘WE WILL NOT OBEY.’
School leaders and inspectors have been even more explicit, saying they “will not accept” RN policies on checking students’ migration status and implementing a patriotic curriculum. “In full conscience and taking responsibility, we will not obey,” reads a petition signed by thousands of educators.
Even judges are briefing the press they have “worries” about RN policies that would toughen sentences for illegal alien criminals.
National Rally does enjoy strong support among the national gendarmerie (paramilitary police), however, due to their strong stance against Antifa violence against officers and migrant crime.
Marine Le Pen’s 28-year-old party president, Jordan Bardella, would likely become Prime Minister following an RN victory. Emmanuel Macron should remain President until his second term expires in 2027.

A newly released MRP poll predicts that Nigel Farage’s Reform Party could secure up to 18 seats in the upcoming UK general election on July 4.
Polling data suggests that the Labour Party, led by Sir Keir Starmer, is poised to achieve the largest majority in decades, potentially surpassing the 419-seat majority won by former Prime Minister Tony Blair in 1997.
Labour, which has dominated the polls throughout the election campaign, could capture as many as 450 seats in the House of Commons, marking the largest majority since 1931.
The current Conservative government may face significant losses, potentially retaining only 60 MPs, thereby allowing the Liberal Democrats to become the official opposition with an estimated 71 seats.
Several top Tory MPs, including Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, are likely to lose their seats to Labour candidates on July 4.
Electoral Calculus and Find Out Now conducted the survey, with Martin Baxter, founder of Electoral Calculus, labeling the projected result a “disaster” for the Tories.
Nigel Farage and Reform have seen increasing popularity among young voters in the UK, according to a YouGov poll that found the party more favoured among 18 to 24-year-olds than the Tories.
Farage himself has been engaged in a feud with former Tory Prime Minister Boris Johnson after Johnson accused Farage of being a “Putin-apologist” due to his remarks on the Ukraine conflict.
In Dover earlier this week, Farage emphasized Johnson’s previous statements blaming the European Union for the Ukraine-Russia crisis in 2016.

The European Union (EU) has officially begun accession talks with Ukraine despite its ongoing war with Russia. A delegation from Ukraine will participate in an intergovernmental conference in Luxembourg to formally commence efforts to align Ukrainian laws and standards with those of the EU. Separately, Moldova, which applied for EU membership shortly after the start of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, will join in its own intergovernmental conference to initiate accession talks.
“Ukraine is returning to Europe,” President Volodymyr Zelensky declared after the EU agreed to initiate the talks.
Ukraine must harmonize its laws and standards across 35 critical areas with the EU, covering everything from the movement of goods to the judicial system. Approval from all 27 member states is required to either open or close each policy chapter.
Ukraine aims to achieve EU membership by 2030 but must first undertake extensive institutional and legal reforms, focusing particularly on anti-corruption measures. The country often ranks as the most corrupt in Europe. In recent months, the theft of money to pay for fortifications in the Kharkov (Kharkiv) region assisted in a significant Russian breakthrough.
The EU has exerted considerable influence in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia since 2014, during the Maidan coup. In May, Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-chief of The National Pulse, explained that the Maidan “was an act of war.”
Kassam also commented on recent developments, noting criticism among the Western media-political class of Reform Party leader Nigel Farage as “pro-Putin” due to his view the EU and NATO helped to instigate the war.
Kassam highlighted the “blackout” in British media with respect to criticism of Zelensky.

Lord David Cameron, the British Foreign Secretary and former Prime Minister, was caught on camera urging a man he thought was a former Ukrainian prime minister to lobby U.S. Congressional Republicans and former President Donald J. Trump against negotiating a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia.
“The most important thing, if you have any connection to Trump—the most important thing to get across to Trump, is that the Putin of today is far more extreme than the one that you were dealing with at the time of Minsk,” Lord Cameron can be heard saying during the conversation with Russian pranksters.
The British Foreign Secretary added: “I think we have to convince Trump of this. Trump thinks there’s some easy deal to make. And that’s not the case because Putin wants so much more.”
Lord Cameron continued: “I think that Trump needs to understand that.”
UKRAINE LOBBYING CONGRESS.
Later in the conversation, Cameron again urges that Ukrainian officials leverage any contacts they have in the Republican Party to push for further aid and U.S. support against Russia. Lord Cameron specifically named Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who he described as “pro-Ukraine.” More importantly, the British Foreign Secretary said, “…we’ve got to try and work out which ones are on the margins and which ones can be convinced.” He concluded: “Because that will all have an impact.”
LORD CAMERON LIED?
The British Foreign Secretary appears to have been duped by Russianpranksters into believing he was conversing with former Ukrainian prime minister Petro Poroshenko. Lord Cameron’s conversation raises concerns regarding the British—a long-standing U.S. ally—encouraging former Ukranian officials to engage in foreign influence operations in Washington, D.C.
In April, Cameron denied meeting with U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson ahead of a pivotal Ukraine aid funding vote in Congress. The National Pulse reported at the time that Cameron acknowledged meeting with Secretary of State Antony Blinken and former President Trump but claimed he did not meet with Johnson regarding Ukraine. However, his unwitting conversation with the Russian prankers contradicts this claim. Lord Cameron appears to acknowledge speaking with Johnson, Trump, and Blinken.

The House Judiciary Committee is preparing for a vote to hold Joe Biden’s ghostwriter, Mark Zwonitzer, in contempt of Congress. Two sources confirmed this move, beginning with a “markup” session on Thursday followed by a committee vote. This sets the stage for a full House vote.
In March, House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, a Republican, subpoenaed Zwonitzer after he failed to provide requested documents. These documents include transcripts, audio, and video recordings of his interviews with Biden for his memoirs.
The Republican-drafted resolution cites special counsel Robert Hur’s investigation into Biden’s mishandling of classified documents. Hur’s report indicates Zwonitzer deleted interview recordings after learning of the investigation.
“The outside observer is going to look at this and say ‘Mark Zwonitzer, President Biden‘s friend, ghostwriter, collaborator learned of the special counsel’s investigation, saw this happening and then deleted all these audio recordings,’” one of Hur’s investigators said to Zwonitzer.
“I’m not going to say how much of the percentage it was of my motivation,” Zwonitzer replied.
Hur chose not to pursue charges against Biden or Zwonitzer.
House Republicans argue that Zwonitzer’s lack of full cooperation with the Judiciary Committee has impeded their investigation.
Previously, the House voted to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt for refusing to turn over audio of Biden’s interview with Hur. However, the Department of Justice, controlled by Garland and Biden, says it will not prosecute Garland for contempt.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) says she will force a vote on exercising Congress’s constitutional power of inherent contempt and directing the House Sergeant-at-Arms to arrest Garland.
