Leftists Now a MINORITY Among French Bureaucrats Who Are Flocking To Le Pen.

Leftist support among bureaucrats, also known as the deep state, in France is sinking rapidly as civil servants increasingly support populist Marine Le Pen and her party, the National Rally (RN). A newly released study by Luc Rouban for Cevipof shows that the historical support the left has received from the 2.5 million civil servants is falling and that left-wing bureaucrats are now a minority overall.

According to the researcher—who analyzed voting trends in this year’s European Parliament and French parliament elections—the massive shift in civil servants’ attitudes can be explained by their concerns about working conditions and feeling abandoned by the government. Rouban says the current left-wing parties have abandoned these issues to Le Pen and her party.

France, however, appears to be an exception to global trends. Elsewhere in Europe and the United States most deep-state actors and civil servants have shown an increased openness regarding their left-wing political views, particularly regarding issues like diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Others have engaged in the sabotage of policies enacted by elected conservatives and populists.

As recently as June of this year, deep state officials, civil servants, teachers, and state-funded doctors in France all vowed to defy Marine Le Pen if her party won the parliamentary elections in July. However, Rouban’s study suggests that the June statement represents only a minority of France’s civil servants and public workers.

In America, where the deep state is largely anti-Trump,  Joe Biden instituted a rule in April that could prevent former President Donald J. Trump from firing federal employees if he wins the November presidential election.

Kamala Refuses to Discount Executive Action on Reparations.

Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party’s 2024  presidential nominee, says she won’t discount the use of executive action to begin implementation of reparations for black Americans. Speaking with the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) yesterday, Harris was asked whether she would use presidential authority or defer to Congress to create a commission to study proposals for financial restitution.

“I’m not discounting the importance of any executive action,” Harris said. “But ultimately, Congress, because if you’re going to talk about it in any substantial way, there will be hearings, there will be a level of public education and dialogue.”

The National Pulse reported earlier this year that Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) is floating reparations in the form of exempting black Americans from federal taxes for a set period. “One of the things they propose is black folk not have to pay taxes for a certain amount of time because then again that puts money back in your pocket,” the freshman Democrat said.

Crockett’s proposal received immediate pushback, with the lawmaker eventually acknowledging that black Americans reliant on government assistance already pay little to no federal income taxes, meaning an exemption would do little for them.

The Texas Democrat is not alone in her push for reparations, however. Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY)—ousted in a primary earlier this year—has pushed for the government to print $14 trillion for black Americans and give prisoners and felons the vote as a form of “reparations” for slavery. Additionally, Democrats in New York established a commission to study how the state might implement slavery restitution in late 2023.

Harris, who is of Indian-Jamaican heritage, is herself the descendant of a notorious European slave owner.

Kamala’s Running Mate Tim Walz Drove THOUSANDS of Families Out of Minnesota.

A new study released by demographer Lyman Stone and sociologist Brad Wilcox reveals that a significant number of families left Minnesota in 2021 and 2022. The exodus occurred under the tenure of Kamala Harris’s 2024 running mate, Tim Walz, who has served as the state’s governor since 2019. Stone and Wilcox’s research challenges claims by some left-leaning commentators that Walz’s policies have been beneficial for families and children.

The report, published by the Institute for Family Studies, concludes that Minnesota experienced a net loss of families with children during the two years. Stone and Wilcox’s analysis of the American Community Survey data shows that the state ranked among the worst third in the nation for family migration, one of 18 states where more families left than moved in.

According to the research, Minnesota saw a net loss of 4,000 families from 2021 to 2022, a 0.3 percent decline, placing it 13th among states with the highest percentage of family migration losses. Among the top 12 states with the most significant declines, 10 had supported President Joe Biden in the 2020 election.

In their report, Stone and Wilcox note that parents are increasingly moving away from states with far-left family, as well as diversity, equity, and inclusion policies. States like New York, California, Massachusetts, and Oregon, all known for their leftist political agendas, saw substantial family outflows. For instance, New York lost 71,000 families, a 1.9 percent decrease, while California saw a net loss of 92,000 families, a 1.2 percent decline.

In contrast, states that voted for former President Donald J. Trump in both 2016 and 2020 saw gains in family migration. The study points out that deeply Republican states, such as Idaho, reported the most significant percentage increase in family population, with a 2.3 percent rise from 2021 to 2022. Texas and Florida also saw considerable gains, with 53,000 and 38,000 families, respectively.

Stone and Wilcox suggest that COVID-19 partly drives this movement as families sought suburban and rural areas offering more space. Additionally, states with quicker school reopenings, new school choice laws, lower taxes, and strong job growth have become more attractive to parents. Cultural factors, such as resistance to far-left gender theory in schools, also contribute to the red state appeal.

Son of Assassination Suspect Says Father ‘Hates Trump,’ Suggests He ‘Wants to Be a Martyr.’

The son of the would-be assassin of former President Donald J. Trump says his Democrat donor father “wants to be a martyr to how broken and disassociated the process has become from the real problems and practical solutions, then that’s his choice.” Oran Routh, the son of Ryan Routh, also echoed his father’s hatred for the former president, stating that he “hates Trump like every reasonable person does.” Oran Routh added: “I don’t like Trump either.”

Yesterday, Ryan Routh, 58, attempted to assassinate former President Trump while he played a round of golf at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.

“He’s my dad and all he’s had is couple traffic tickets, as far as I know. That’s crazy. I know my dad and love my dad, but that’s nothing like him,” Oran Routh said. The son of the would-be assassin added that he knew his father was traveling but did not realize he was in Florida: “He said he was at the beach, but I thought that meant the outer banks in Hawaii. I didn’t ask him for more information because we’ve had a falling out. We’ve grown apart.”

Disturbingly, Oran Routh appeared to defend his father’s alleged actions He said, “‘I hate this game every four years and think that we all do, and if my father wants to be a martyr to how broken and disassociated the process has become from the real problems and practical solutions, then that’s his choice.”

The National Pulse previously reported that Ryan Routh appears to have extensive ties to efforts aimed at recruiting foreign soldiers to fight for Ukraine. Additionally, the would-be assassin has expressed his support for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

Grenell Accuses Germany of Election Interference Over Anti-Trump X Post.

Former U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell has accused the country‘s far-left government of interfering in the U.S. Presidential elections with an X (formerly Twitter) post “fact-checking” former President Donald J. Trump following his debate with Vice President Kamala Harris.

Grenell reacted to a post by the German Foreign Office—roughly equivalent to the U.S. State Department—which criticized Trump’s statements on energy security. The former president noted the Germans, after pushing renewable energy policies hard, were forced to turn back to “normal energy plants.”

The German post said, “Like it or not, Germany’s energy system is fully operational, with more than 50 percent renewables.”

“And we are closing—and not building—coal-fired and nuclear power plants. Coal will be off the grid by 2038 at the latest. PS: We don’t eat cats and dogs either,” they added.

Grenell reacted to the Tweet, stating, “The blatant election interference from the German government is worse than the Russian and Iranian interference.”

Grenell later noted that German media has largely vindicated Trump’s comments on renewables, stating that the 50 percent renewable figure is limited to electricity production only, not energy overall. Only around a fifth of Germany’s total energy consumption is covered by renewables. It is also true that the Germans had to reactivate many coal-fired power plants to get through winter.

The German jibe about eating cats and dogs—a reference to Trump mentioning reports of Haitian migrants killing animals in Springfield, Ohio—was also ill-advised, as the European country has experienced confirmed cases of migrants killing and eating people’s pets.

Democrat Congressman Falls Asleep in Front of Parents of Migrant-Murdered Kids.

Longtime Manhattan Representative Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) faced criticism after appearing to briefly fall asleep during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on the border crisis earlier this week. Members of Congress were in the midst of hearing testimonies from family members of victims affected by violent illegal immigrants, including Alexis Nungaray, the mother of murdered 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray from Texas. Nadler, the committee’s senior Democrat, drew the ire of two Republican members, who accused him of not taking the hearing seriously.

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), in a post on X (formerly Twitter), shared a photo of Nadler appearing to doze off, remarking: “From frustrated families in the audience⁦ @JudiciaryGOP hearing listening to witnesses who lost loved ones to violent illegal aliens. Hardly any Dems present – those who are….”

Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC) also posted a photo of Nadler, noting that the committee was hearing from parents of victims who were brutally beaten, raped, or killed and accusing Democrats of inattention.

“I would like to take a moment and express my sincerest condolences to all of our witnesses who have lost loved ones, and to all of their families… May their memories be a blessing,” Nadler said in his opening remarks, before criticizing the hearing as a partisan charade.

“Instead of working in a bipartisan fashion to find meaningful solutions to our broken immigration system, we are sitting in yet one more partisan hearing designed to divide us and to score political points before an election,” he said.

Patty Morin—whose daughter Rachel was raped and murdered by an illegal immigrant during a run near her home—expressed dismay after testifying and seeing Nadler’s conduct firsthand, describing it as “disheartening.”

MTG Defends Kamala? Hits Out at Trump’s ‘Race’ Comments? Vance’s ‘Cat Lady’ Quip? And Laura Loomer’s ‘Tone’!?

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has come to the defense of the 2024 Democratic Party’s presidential nominee, Kamala Harris, as well as the now infamous “cat lady” demographic, in comments made outside the U.S. Capitol to CNN reporter Manu Raju amongst others.

The Georgia congressman, who struck up a close personal relationship with former Speaker Kevin McCarthy in recent years, posted the exchange on her X account shortly after. In it, she took several swipes at investigative reporter Laura Loomer and appeared to hit out at the party’s Vice Presidential candidate, Senator J.D. Vance, as well as President Donald J. Trump.

“I think we need to be focused on policies… not attacking people for their race, not attacking them because they might not have children and they love their pets. And I don’t want to have anything to do with that,” she said.

Trump mocked Harris’s recent public image conversion from Indian to black in a recent appearance. Vance is understood to be the sarcastic progenitor of the “cat lady” comments that Taylor Swift channeled in her Instagram endorsement of Harris.

Greene was speaking as part of a long-standing feud she has with journalist Laura Loomer.

“Laura Loomer’s outright lies, instability, and manic toxicity have no place in MAGA,” Greene wrote, adding in her statement: “I have concerns about [Loomer’s] rhetoric and her hateful tone. To me, many of the comments she makes and how she attacks Republicans like me… I think they’re a huge problem.”

Ironically, Greene recently personally attacked her colleague, Jasmine Crockett, quizzing, “Are your feelings hurt?” when Alexandria Ocasio Cortes berated her on the matter.

WATCH:

Stating the obvious, Greene argues that the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement should focus on inflation, the economy, and the border crisis. Former President Donald J. Trump spent a great deal of Tuesday’s presidential debate discussing the Biden-Harris government’s failures on these very issues—despite attempts by Kamala Harris and the ABC News moderators to focus the discussion on anything but.

A close ally of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA)—who was ousted from power by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) last October—Greene recently suffered an embarrassing defeat after attempting to remove current Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA). Greene’s motion to vacate was tabled by a 359 to 43 vote.

Despite the overwhelming vote against her, Greene claims the move was a “great victory.” However, just months prior, the Georgia Congresswoman warned against the very action she took, stating a motion to vacate against Johnson is “the dumbest thing that could happen.”

House Democrats gloated over baiting Greene into attempting to oust Johnson and pulling the rug out from under her. “Fresh bait always finds a fish,” one senior Democrat aide said at the time.

Biden-Harris WH Spox Disparages Veterans in Accidental ‘Reply All’ E-mail on 9/11.

White House National Security Council communications adviser John Kirby denigrated a group of veterans in what he intended to be an internal White House email on the 23-year anniversary of 9/11. The Biden-Harris official hit reply-all when sending his comments, including a Fox News reporter who had asked the White House to respond to the veteran group’s criticism of the Biden-Harris government’s disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal.

“Obviously no use in responding. A ‘handful’ of vets indeed and all of one stripe,” Kirby wrote late Wednesday on a White House communications team email chain. The flippant comment was in response to accusations leveled by Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) and several other veterans that Kirby provided “cover” for the deadly withdrawal during a Monday press conference. Kirby had blasted a new report the House of Representatives issued regarding the Biden-Harris government’s handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal, claiming it “says little or nothing new.”

Viewed by many in the White House and media as the more steady hand in the press briefing room—compared to Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre—Kirby followed up his errant reply-all email, telling the reporter: “Clearly, I didn’t realize you were on the chain.”

Following Kirby’s condescending reply-all gaffe, the Biden-Harris White House communications team attempted to clean up the situation—issuing an on-the-record response from the official. “While I acknowledge not every veteran agrees with them, I stand by my comments in the briefing room. What was cherry-picked and selective was the report itself. And what’s most important is that America’s longest war is over and those still serving in uniform are better positioned to meet the threats we face today,” Kirby’s statement claims.

This NATO ‘Ally’ Just Called China’s Dictator a ‘Defender of Peace.’

During an official state visit to China, a NATO member state leader praised Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader Xi Jinping, calling him a “defender of peace” in a statement on social media.

Spanish socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez expressed his admiration for the Chinese communist dictator on Monday, August 9, saying, “China and Spain are two friendly nations, defenders of peace and committed to the multilateral order.”

He added that his country and China were committed to tackling climate change, despite China’s extensive use of coal-fired power plants and the fact it is building more coal plants than the rest of the world.

Sanchez’s comments regarding China being a “defender of peace” come amid accusations that the Chinese are abetting Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, with Beijing refusing to attend a peace conference in Switerzland in June as Russia was not invited.

The CCP has also been saber-rattling regarding Taiwan. Xi Jinping has explicitly told U.S. President Joe Biden that China and Taiwan would be unified, whether through diplomacy or force.

Earlier this year, Admiral John Aquilino, head of the Indo-Pacific Command, predicted that China could invade Taiwan as early as 2027, claiming the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) is actively preparing for an invasion of the island.

“The PLA’s actions indicate their ability to meet Xi’s preferred timeline to unify Taiwan with mainland China by force if directed,” he told the U.S. House Armed Services Committee in March.

China has also demanded that the United States cease ties with the Taiwanese government following elections in January that saw anti-CCP and pro-independence candidates elected to office.

Deplorables 2.0: Pelosi Says 30% of Republicans ‘Homophobic, Sexist, Racist.’

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) claims 30 percent of Republicans refuse to support Democratic Party candidates because of their views on women, race, and LGBTQ issues. Speaking with podcast host Kara Swisher at the 2024 Texas Tribune Festival, the California Democrat insisted that these voters will never cast a ballot for Democrats, which is why the 2024 presidential race between former President Donald J. Trump and Kamala Harris is so close.

“There are people who will never be, shall we say, inclined to support Democrats because of – they just have a different orientation toward women, people of color, LGBTQ, you know, they just are not ever going to be there,” Pelosi told Swisher before continuing: ” So, say that’s about like 30 percent or something like that… of the Republicans.”

“And then you have very, very rich people who do not really want to pay taxes or have any regulation of clean air, clean water, any of that. So you have to deal with that,” the former Democrat Speaker noted regarding campaign fundraising, adding: “Now, it’s not as many very, very rich people, but it’s a lot of money that goes into a campaign.”

During the discussion, Pelosi seemed to suggest that Democrats should respect but still ignore the concerns of this large bloc of American voters. She told Swisher, “They have fear of globalization. They saw the factory down the road move overseas. They’re fearful of innovation.”

Addressing former President Trump directly, the 84-year-old Democrat who is running for re-election insisted he is a “snake oil salesman.”

Pelosi’s remarks are reminiscent of similar comments made by Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential election in which she labeled half of Trump’s political base as a “basket of deplorable” and cited similar perceived prejudices listed by the former Speaker.
