The SPD and Greens have suspended exploratory coalition talks with Die Linke after the party admitted pro-Palestinian activist Vanessa Emde to its parliamentary group, raising doubts over an agreement intended to strengthen safeguards against anti-Semitism.

Coalition negotiations in the German state of Berlin have been thrown into uncertainty after the Social Democrats (SPD) and the Greens suspended exploratory talks with Die Linke on Tuesday, 13 October, over concerns that commitments to combat anti-Semitism may no longer be upheld.

The immediate trigger was Die Linke’s decision to admit Vanessa Emde, a lawmaker known for her pro-Palestinian activism who has faced accusations of antisemitism over her positions on Israel, to its parliamentary group.

The move comes amid intense negotiations to form Berlin’s next state government following elections on 20 September. Berlin is both Germany’s capital and one of its 16 federal states, with its own elected parliament and state government.

Die Linke won 25.7% of the vote, emerging as the largest party. The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) came second with 18.8%, followed by the Alternative for Germany (AfD) with 16.3%, the Greens with 14.3% and the SPD with 12.1%.

The result put Die Linke in a strong position to seek a role in the next state government. But the dispute over Emde and the anti-Semitism safeguards now threatens to derail negotiations with the SPD and Greens.

During the initial exploratory talks, the SPD, the Greens and Die Linke sought to agree on a procedure for handling allegations of anti-Semitism within Die Linke’s parliamentary group.

Under the proposed mechanism, a panel would examine allegations and could recommend the expulsion of a lawmaker if its members reached a consensus. If the panel failed to reach an agreement, external experts would be consulted.

The dispute escalated on Tuesday, when Die Linke admitted Vanessa Emde to its parliamentary group. The move raised concerns within the SPD and the Greens, who had understood that she would not be included in the group as part of the political understanding underpinning the talks.

Tensions deepened when Die Linke’s lawmakers signed a separate declaration committing to combat anti-Semitism and recognising Israel’s right to exist, rather than the joint text negotiated with the two parties.

The SPD and the Greens consequently suspended the exploratory talks to assess whether the agreed safeguards remained valid and whether Die Linke was still committed to the terms of their understanding.

Green party co-leader Felix Banaszak said his understanding was that keeping Emde out of the parliamentary group had been one of the conditions underlying the exploratory negotiations.

Born in 1981, Vanessa Emde is a Die Linke politician who won Berlin’s North Neukölln constituency with 46.2% of the first votes in the 20 September 2026 state election. Neukölln, a district of the German capital known for its large communities of Turkish and Arab origin, has long been associated with Berlin’s immigrant population.

Emde is a member of Die Linke’s internal Palästinasolidarität (Palestine Solidarity) working group, a network within the party that advocates for Palestinian rights and promotes pro-Palestinian positions.

She became a focus of controversy after reportedly saying at a pro-Palestinian event in Neukölln in May 2026: “There is no right to exist for states — people have a right to exist.” Critics interpreted the remark as questioning Israel’s right to exist.

Emde has also promoted pro-Palestinian demonstrations and criticised what she describes as the political use of accusations of anti-Semitism. Reports from a demonstration she attended described chants including “Fuck you Israel” and “Palestine is entitled to defend itself with stones and guns”.

Her admission to Die Linke’s parliamentary group has fuelled concerns among the SPD and the Greens about whether the party will uphold its commitments to combating anti-Semitism.

For now, the suspension is not necessarily the end of the coalition talks. The SPD and Greens have said they need to establish whether the original understanding remains valid before deciding how to proceed.

Coalition negotiations in the German state of Berlin have been thrown into uncertainty after the Social Democrats (SPD) and the Greens suspended exploratory talks with Die Linke on October 13 over concerns that commitments to combat anti-Semitism may no longer be upheld.

The immediate trigger was Die Linke’s decision to admit Vanessa Emde, a lawmaker known for her pro-Palestinian activism who has faced accusations of anti-Semitism over her positions on Israel, to its parliamentary group.

The move comes amid intense negotiations to form Berlin’s next State government following elections on September 20. Berlin is both Germany’s capital and one of its 16 federal states, with its own elected parliament and State government.

Die Linke won 25.7 per cent of the vote, emerging as the largest party. The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) came second with 18.8 per cent, followed by the Alternative for Germany (AfD) with 16.3 per cent, the Greens with 14.3 per cent and the SPD with 12.1 per cent.

The final seat distribution, confirmed on October 12, gave Die Linke 45 seats, the Greens 25 and the SPD 21 in the 153-seat chamber. Together the three parties hold 91 seats, above the 77 needed for a majority.

The result put Die Linke in a strong position to seek a role in the next State government. But the dispute over Emde and the anti-Semitism safeguards now threatens to derail negotiations with the SPD and the Greens, which had formally opened only five days before the suspension.

During the initial exploratory talks, the SPD, the Greens and Die Linke sought to agree on a procedure for handling allegations of anti-Semitism within Die Linke’s parliamentary group.

The joint key points, presented on October 8, described Israel’s right to exist as non-negotiable and committed each party to act against anti-Semitism in its own ranks. Under the proposed mechanism, allegations would be handled under each parliamentary group’s own rules, with consequences extending as far as expulsion, while an independent three-member panel of experts could be asked to assess individual incidents.

The agreement was contested inside Die Linke, where more than 120 members signed criticism arguing the leadership had conceded too much to the SPD and the Greens.

The dispute escalated on October 13, when Die Linke admitted Emde to its parliamentary group. The move raised concerns within the SPD and the Greens, who had understood that she would not be included in the group as part of the political understanding underpinning the talks.

Tensions deepened when Die Linke’s lawmakers signed a separate declaration committing to combat anti-Semitism and recognising Israel’s right to exist, rather than the joint text negotiated with the two parties.

All 44 lawmakers present, Emde included, signed that text, which also affirms the protection of Jewish life and condemns Hamas as an Islamist terrorist organisation with an anti-Semitic ideology. It refers back to existing party resolutions rather than to the rules agreed with the SPD and the Greens.

The SPD and the Greens consequently suspended the exploratory talks to assess whether the agreed safeguards remained valid and whether Die Linke was still committed to the terms of their understanding.

Greens federal co-leader Felix Banaszak said his understanding was that keeping Emde out of the parliamentary group had been one of the conditions underlying the exploratory negotiations. He has since said he opposes continuing the talks, distancing himself from the Berlin branch of his own party.

Emde, 45, is a Die Linke politician who won Berlin’s Neukölln 1 constituency with 46.2 per cent of the first votes in the September 20 State election. Neukölln, a district of the German capital known for its large communities of Turkish and Arab origin, has long been associated with Berlin’s immigrant population.

Emde is a member of Die Linke’s internal Palästinasolidarität (Palestine Solidarity) working group, a network within the party that advocates for Palestinian rights and promotes pro-Palestinian positions. She joined Die Linke in 2022 and sits on the board of its Neukölln district association. German media have also linked her to the Marx21 network, which is monitored by Germany’s domestic intelligence service.

She became a focus of controversy after reportedly saying at a pro-Palestinian event in Neukölln in May 2026: “There is no right to exist for states — people have a right to exist.” Critics interpreted the remark as questioning Israel’s right to exist.

Emde has also promoted pro-Palestinian demonstrations and criticised what she describes as the political use of accusations of anti-Semitism. Reports from a demonstration she attended in the government district on October 10, which drew about 3,500 people, described chants including “Fuck you Israel” and “Palestine is entitled to defend itself with stones and guns”.

Her admission to Die Linke’s parliamentary group has fuelled concerns among the SPD and the Greens about whether the party will uphold its commitments to combating anti-Semitism.

For now, the suspension is not necessarily the end of the coalition talks. The SPD and the Greens have said they need to establish whether the original understanding remains valid before deciding how to proceed.

Berlin Greens leader Nina Stahr said the parties remained at the table and were waiting for Die Linke to return with an explanation. Die Linke co-group leader Tobias Schulze said his party wanted to keep talking.

Beyond anti-Semitism, the three parties remain divided over the city’s strained budget, housing policy and Die Linke’s plan to socialise large property companies. The CDU has signalled it would talk to the SPD and the Greens should they look for an alternative.

Ukrainian national accused of helping orchestrate the 2022 sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines appeared before a court in Hamburg, Germany, on Wednesday, 14 October, becoming the first suspect to stand trial over an attack that remains one of the most consequential acts of sabotage in recent European history, BBC.com reports.

The Nord Stream pipeline, which used to transfer natural gas from Russia to Western Europe, blew up and was rendered non-operational in September 2022. However, it had already stopped gas transport in August 2022 due to the outbreak of the Russo–Ukrainian war.

50-year-old Serhii Kuznetsov is accused by German prosecutors of playing a leading role in the operation, allegedly coordinating professional divers and an explosives expert to target civilian infrastructure. Prosecutors are pursuing the case as a war crime. Kuznetsov is denying the allegations. His defence team has called for the proceedings to be dismissed, arguing that the evidence against him is insufficient and that his extradition to Germany was legally flawed. His counsel argues that there is no physical evidence, such as DNA or fingerprints, linking his client to the crime.

The case carries considerable diplomatic sensitivity. Germany has been among Ukraine’s closest supporters since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022, just seven months before the pipeline explosions.

Nevertheless, German authorities have continued their investigation despite the potential implications for relations between Berlin and Kyiv.

Kuznetsov, who was extradited from Italy last year, entered the courtroom before a packed public gallery, appearing relaxed and occasionally smiling, according to BBC reporting. Previously identified publicly only as Serhii K, with his face obscured in photographs, he has now waived his anonymity, according to a court spokeswoman. Wearing headphones, he followed the proceedings through a Ukrainian-language translation as prosecutors presented the charges against him.

German prosecutors claim that the alleged destruction of the pipelines constitutes an attack on civilian objects using military means, bringing the case within Germany’s code of crimes against international law. In January 2025, Germany’s Federal Court of Justice ruled that the case fell within the country’s territorial jurisdiction and that prosecutors had a responsibility to pursue it because the attack allegedly undermined Germany’s internal security.

How Investigators Traced the Alleged Nord Stream Pipeline Sabotage Team

The explosions occurred on 26 September 2022 in the Baltic Sea near the Danish island of Bornholm, damaging three of the four pipelines belonging to the Nord Stream network.

In the immediate aftermath, Western attention turned towards Russia, although Western governments initially stopped short of assigning direct responsibility. Meanwhile, President Vladimir Putin of Russia subsequently accused the United States and the United Kingdom of responsibility, blaming what he called the ‘Anglo-Saxons’. Both countries rejected the accusations.

Investigators in Sweden, Denmark, and Germany initially worked to establish who was responsible.

Denmark and Sweden eventually discontinued their respective investigations, while German prosecutors concentrated on a group of deep-sea divers who had allegedly rented a yacht named Andromeda from the northern German port of Rostock.

German authorities later reported finding traces of underwater explosives in samples collected from the vessel. Their investigation ultimately led to the case now being heard in Hamburg.

According to the indictment, the alleged saboteurs devised their plan while acting on orders from Ukrainian state agencies. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine, however, has consistently denied that Ukraine was involved in the blasts.

In August 2025 Italian police detained Kuznetsov after he checked into a hotel near the Adriatic resort of Rimini, acting on a European arrest warrant issued by German federal prosecutors. Following several weeks of legal proceedings over his extradition, he was transferred to Germany later that year.

‘President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine, however, has consistently denied that Ukraine was involved in the blasts’

German prosecutors allege that Kuznetsov was serving as an officer in the Ukrainian army in 2022 and led a team that included professional divers, a boat captain and an explosives specialist.

Another Ukrainian national, Volodymyr Zhuravlov, has also been linked to the investigation. Zhuravlov successfully challenged Germany’s extradition request in Poland. In October 2025 a Polish judge ordered his release, reasoning that the alleged attack was not unlawful and that an armed operation organized by Ukraine could be considered justified in the circumstances of the war.

Zhuravlov was subsequently arrested in Croatia in August, on suspicion of participating in the dives required to carry out the pipeline sabotage. Croatia approved his extradition to Germany last month, although the timing of his transfer remains unclear. It is also uncertain whether he could eventually face proceedings connected to the Hamburg case.

Dutch Housing Minister Elanor Boekholt-O’Sullivan drew sharp criticism this week after defending priority access to scarce social housing for recognized refugees, arguing that many young Dutch first-time home seekers “can still live with their parents.”

In an interview with De Telegraaf, the D66 minister was asked why status holders — asylum seekers granted residence permits — should receive preference for social rental homes while Dutch “starters” face long waiting lists and delayed independence. She responded that “we see that a lot of starters can still, or are allowed to, live with their parents.”

Dutch commentator and activist Eva Vlaardingerbroek wrote on X that the policy amounted to “systemic racism.”

“And not just the ‘new’ newcomers. A 25-year-old Syrian who came here with his parents years ago jumps the queue for a home when he decides he wants to live on his own. Meaning a 25-year-old white Dutch guy can forget about getting his own place and ends up on waiting lists for 10+ years,” she wrote, adding: “Putting the interests of foreigners above the interests of the native population needs to end.”

Talking about systemic racism: Young Dutch people can barely find a place to live, because migration drove 60% of the housing demand since 2015, regular prices are insane, and migrants get PRIORITY for the affordable social housing.

Boekholt-O’Sullivan, an Irish-born former lieutenant general in the Dutch Air Force who took office earlier this year, claims that anyone who wants to live in the Netherlands should get a roof but does not address the major housing crisis brought on by mass immigration.

“For me, the fundamental principle is that anyone who is allowed to and wants to live in the Netherlands gets a roof over their head,” she said. She noted that status holders typically leave asylum reception centers and argued that alternatives such as remaining in centers, homelessness, hotels or cruise ships were unacceptable, so priority allocation should continue until other solutions exist.

The remarks landed amid fresh data underscoring migration’s outsized role in the Netherlands’ housing crunch. A report released this week by the Economic Institute for Construction (EIB) found that migration accounted for about 60 percent of additional housing demand between 2015 and 2024. Migrants who arrived in that period occupied roughly 435,000 homes by 2024, out of nearly 700,000 homes added to the stock.

In addition, data shows that migrants occupy 44 percent of the 2.2 million social housing units in the country.

The 44 percent figure of social housing units occupied by first or second-generation immigrants has doubled from 22 percent in 2000, and is forecast to rise to 51 percent by 2030.

A total of 92 percent of Syrian first-generation immigrants reside in social housing. In addition, 90 percent of those born in Somalia, Afghanistan, and Eritrea reside in social housing.

Asylum-related migration contributes disproportionately to lasting demand because status holders remain permanently at high rates, unlike many labor or student migrants who leave within a decade.

Critics said the minister’s comments minimized the burdens on young Dutch adults who have already spent years on waiting lists for social housing or who face high private rents and purchase prices that lock them out of independent living.

Social housing waiting lists in major cities often stretch many years; priority rules for status holders allow some recent arrivals to bypass ordinary queues. Dutch population growth in recent years has been driven almost entirely by net migration, amplifying pressure on an already constrained housing market marked by strict planning rules, nitrogen regulations and slow construction.

The latest debate about Dutch housing policy and mass immigration is only one aspect of the massive burden foreigners have been on Dutch society, which shows that Dutch taxpayers have spent €400 billion on migrants between 1995 and 2019.

The landmark study, entitled “Borderless Welfare State: The Consequences of Immigration on Public Finances,” shows that net costs of immigration to the Dutch public sector over the period 1995-2019 were an astounding €400 billion, averaging €17 billion a year, with a peak of €32 billion in 2016 due to the 2015 refugee crisis.

However, this is far from the total figure. Since 2019, Dutch taxpayers have paid tens of billions more, with no end in sight.

Muckraker released their latest courageous and amazing documentary “Replacing Europe” Wednesday evening.

The investigative reporters followed the entire illegal immigrant pipeline from Africa into Europe.

This is a landmark production – never has this been filmed to such an extent.

As you may recall, Muckraker exposed the fate of 320,000 missing immigrant children who were trafficked across the US border during the Biden-Harris years.

Muckraker also exposed a secret Chinese staging hotel in Colombia with military-aged men heading to the open US border during the Biden years.

On Wednesday, Muckraker released its daring expose’ on illegal immigrant pipeline from Africa and into Europe, via the Canary Islands or southern Spain.

Muckraker followed the illegal West African pipeline for over two months, starting in Senegal, into North Africa, and then into Spain.

In the film you follow Muckraker team as they travel through Africa and into Europe. There is one particularly frightening scene when one of the Muckraker cameramen is bloodied by the angry mob they are filming.

Muckraker added this:

In this documentary, you’ll see:

• A UN migration worker admitting that governments profit from illegal immigration and have no interest in stopping it

• Illegal immigrants getting flown by plane to the European mainland

• Organizations openly guiding illegal immigrants across borders

“We were violently attacked and nearly arrested for exposing how Europe is being replaced.”

This is a shocking documentary that will revolt you.

How can political leaders do this to their populations?

It is unbelievable until you see this on camera!

TGP can see this project get a million views in no time!

Here is the documentary:

An African priest and theologian who teaches in Germany has defended the widespread practice of polygamy in Africa while criticizing “the imported Western family model.”

Father Égide Muziazia, who teaches theology at the University of Münster, Germany, wrote an essay in the theological magazine feinschwarz defending polygamy in Africa.

He argued that when applying theological or moral norms to individual situations, one has to use “contextual theology.”

“This provision has far-reaching implications for pastoral practice: it cannot be transferred unchanged from one continent to another,” Muziazia stated. “Rather, it continually seeks answers to pastoral challenges that are tied to the respective local contexts in which each local church is able to fulfill its mission.”

“In this sense, contextuality lies between what is permitted and what is not permitted,” he stated.

Muziazia argued in his essay that while absolute moral norms, like the Church’s teaching that marriage is solely between one man and one woman, are valid, the context of a person’s situation determines whether something is immoral.

He said that topics like polygamy in Africa – or, in the Western church, the debate around blessings for homosexual unions and female priests – “are often discussed in legal terms – ‘Is it permitted or not?’ – whereas in reality they are pastoral, context-dependent questions.”

Muziazia appears to espouse the heterodox view throughout the essay that pastoral considerations trump absolute moral doctrines, such as the Church’s teaching on marriage, creating a relativistic moral framework.

He spoke about the supposedly positive elements of polygamy without clearly condemning the practice, giving the impression that the Church should tolerate or even endorse the practice in certain situations.

“In Africa, polygamy is neither a mere moral transgression nor an indication of moral backwardness. Rather, it is a social institution embedded in a comprehensive framework of kinship, alliance-building, and the transmission of life,” he wrote. “African marriage primarily unites not two individuals, but two families or lineage groups, and is sealed by the payment of bridewealth.”

“Historically, polygamy thus fulfilled several functions and obligations: it ensured the continuation of the lineage, provided agricultural labor, guaranteed the care of widows and orphans through levirate marriage, forged alliances between clans, and conferred social status,” the African theologian continued.

“The encounter with Christian missionaries led to a head-on cultural clash,” he stated. “Monogamy was demanded as a prerequisite for baptism. Thus, monogamous marriage became the hallmark of the exemplary Christian – with the result that ‘surplus’ wives were often cast out – an injustice committed in the name of the Gospel.”

He cited African theologian Bénézet Bujo, who criticized “the individualism of the imported Western family model, the disregard for the communal and tradition-bound dimensions, and the reduction of marriage – as a long-term commitment – to a specific point in time and of the sacrament to a single act.”

Muziazia applied his framework of analysis to “the debates within the Western Church” such as “sermons delivered by laypeople, the blessing of couples in so-called ‘irregular’ situations, the opening of church offices to women” and the heterodox German Synodal Way.

“In both cases, the argument is the same, and it applies in both directions: neither in Africa nor in Europe can the churches unconditionally generalize their own context-specific responses,” he stated.

“Between what is permitted and what is not lies the context – not as an excuse, but as a theological space where the Word becomes the answer,” Muziazia concluded.

German journalist and commentator Anna Diouf, who herself has African roots, commented on the article by Muziazia X by stating: “That’s so transparent. Obviously. They’re trying to do away with monogamy by proxy in the name of postcolonialism, and then it’s ‘free love for everyone.’ How stupid do they think we are? They really had to dig deep to find that one African Catholic who plays into their talking points.”

According to the traditional teaching of the Church, as laid out in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, polygamy is considered one of the “offenses against the dignity of marriage.” The Catechism goes on to explain that “polygamy is not in accord with the moral law,” teaching that it “directly negates the plan of God which was revealed from the beginning, because it is contrary to the equal personal dignity of men and women who in matrimony give themselves with a love that is total and therefore unique and exclusive.”

Indeed, the 24th session of the Council of Trent definitively declares in Canon II on the Sacrament of Matrimony: “If any one saith, that it is lawful for Christians to have several wives at the same time, and that this is not prohibited by any divine law; let him be anathema.”

Rotherham.  Their rape gang scandal first came to public attention in the 1990s.  I don’t recall where I read about it first, but what took place was more than shocking.   Young British girls, almost all underage, many not even teens, were systematically drugged; groomed; and violently, serially gang-raped by men of Pakistani heritage.  Many if not most of the perpetrators were second-generation immigrants.  Let’s just say they didn’t assimilate very well.

Rotherham was the face of this insanity, and for a while it was reported here (not enough), but not much in Britain.  Rarely by the British media.

What is especially evil is how authorities, from police to elected politicians and judges, including many common Brits, reacted to these early charges.  These accusations of rape, when reported on, were deemed “racist” and therefore untrue according to the British media.  Police and officials joined this insane reaction.  They would not investigate or charge these men for fear of getting tagged as racist.

Think about how degenerately weird a culture can become.  A once great nation got onto their knees, virtually apologizing to those who were the wrongdoers when it was discovered their daughters were having their lives destroyed.  There were some parents who tried to get justice when they found out their daughters were being raped.  If you thought things were disgusting already, wait for it.  These parents were often arrested and forced to stay silent by the entire justice system.  And the media.  Even now.

There’s more.  As it turns out, it wasn’t just in Rotherham, or one area of Britain.  This was actually happening in most British towns everywhere at the same time.  The same M.O.  Gangs of mostly Pakistani men drugging, raping, and grooming an entire generation of underage British girls.  It’s hard to comprehend how widespread this was.  We learned recently that there were at least 250,000 young girls experiencing this horror show.  Jordan Peterson claimed it was likely greater than half a million and possibly as many as a million girls.  This is possibly the most horrific rape scandal of all time, anywhere.  And we’re now learning about similar happenings in most European countries.

Strange aside: The “Metooers” never mention this scandal.  Feminists never came alongside any of the victims.  They’re busy pointing out the Cornell 7 now to feel good about themselves.  Well, at least they’re not racist.

When an entire culture and a worldwide feminist movement cannot protect young women for fear of being called racist, it’s gone beyond being politically correct and straight to a mass psychosis ruining an entire nation.  A whole generation, destroyed.  

It began with the British elites deciding to import the Third World to do their labor on the cheap.  It continued when the third-worlders did not assimilate, nor appreciate the culture they came into.  And like all good liberals, the elites decided they could count on the votes of these third-worlders, so they pandered, allowing massive numbers more to come, legally and illegally. 

One underlying premise British elites believed was all cultures were equal, except their own, which was not just sub-par, but embarrassingly bad.  They had their eyes turned inward and saw that everything good should be painted black.  This was Howard Zinn hatred of your own people in spades. 

C.S. Lewis said long ago, “We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise.  We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst.  We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful.”  This is how England fell — from within.  Because they could not embrace who they were, they became a people who confused honor with not wanting to be called racist.  They said nothing as an entire generation of young girls were savaged.  Because, convinced their culture was defective, they simply forgot how to see and live against evil with truth.

Britain and most of Western Europe have made the same mistake with the same consequences.  They are the poster child for immigration policy gone wrong.  Third-worlders turning their host nation into the third world.  Looting, rapes, beheadings, stabbings, rioting, burning cars and stores.  We see these daily, with way too little pushback.  I’m happy they have finally begun to wake up but fear it may be too late.

But it’s not too late here…yet.

One of the superpowers of Donald Trump has been simply to tell uncomfortable truths to power.  He rejected the political mushiness we developed, the embarrassment of political correctness, and replaced it with straight talk.  He’s an adult who said the emperor had no clothes.  He has slain the P.C. dragon and halted what I call the Zinnification of America (learning hatred of ourselves and our ideals).  For most on Trump’s side, we can be proud of America again, proud of our heritage, proud of the greatness of our past, proud that we will have an exciting future. 

That is one of the best and most important things he has done for us all.  We no longer need feign hatred for American ideals.  We no longer need stay silent as the left batters us with false narratives: being racist, sexist, homophobic, greedy capitalist pigs.  We may have warts, but clearly, we were given a heritage to put on a lamp stand.  The results of the American experiment have been a smashing success.  We can say that with pride.

Pointing out that illegal immigration was ruining our country was his first accomplishment.  George W. Bush tried to tell us we were racist if we didn’t want illegals here, as did every Democrat.  Thankfully, Trump annihilated that sentiment, made it possible to point out the simple, obvious truth that we had to stop it.  We did not want to become the Third World.  He is now deporting the Third World.

There are a lot of other areas he has used his straight talk to speak real truth to power.  Women in men’s sports and locker rooms; men and women are different; if you are an immigrant or visitor, you shouldn’t be here if you hate America.  Too many to list.

The important thing here is simple: To escape Rotherham takes a lot of blunt truth.  Bluntness at the right time.  Which is now.   

Trump cannot do this alone.  He needs our help.  We need as many as possible to speak truth to leftist power.  Speak against their power to denigrate our heritage and our ideals.  We cannot be silent.  We must rid ourselves of the Rotherham reaction.  We must be purposeful.  We must be vocal and courageous.  Vote them out, and work together.  The stakes couldn’t be higher.

Three weeks before the midterms, it’s time to beat the degenerate left electorally.  Donate. Vote.  Persuade.  Help where you can.  Fight now.  Let’s stop this blue wave and its cultural insanity.  If we don’t, we will lose our culture forever, like Europe has. 

The battle is drawn.  Engage.  Escape Rotherham.

Nearly half of France’s enormous Muslim population would consider leaving the country if Marine Le Pen wins the presidency next year, according to a new poll.

The IFOP survey, published by French weekly Marianne, found that 46 percent of Muslim respondents would contemplate emigrating following a Le Pen victory.

Approximately seven million Muslims are estimated to live in France, many of whom have come from former French colonies such as Algeria, Morocco and Cameroon.

The country is currently gripped by mass protests that are supposedly about the declining state of French education, although they are more about promoting Islamism and undermining traditional French culture.

Le Pen has long advocated dramatically reducing immigration and strengthening France’s secularism laws, including restrictions on the wearing of Islamic religious clothing.

France already has some of Europe’s strictest rules governing religious dress, although the poll found considerable public support for going further.

According to the survey, 53 percent opposed allowing the Islamic veil to be worn in public streets, while 75 percent supported the existing prohibition on abayas in state secondary schools.

Another 72 percent supported banning conspicuous religious symbols during sporting competitions.

Le Pen has previously proposed extending restrictions to the hijab in public spaces.

She has since indicated that such a measure would not simply be imposed upon taking office but would instead be submitted to the French people in a referendum.

As has been seen following Trump’s victories in 2016 and 2024, many leftists claim they will leave a country before eventually declining to do so.

Nevertheless, the findings illustrate the stakes of next year’s presidential election, in which Le Pen is leading the polls.

Recent surveys place her at around 35 percent in the first round, well ahead of the other candidates.

An October Harris Interactive poll also showed her comfortably ahead in hypothetical second-round contests, defeating former Prime Minister Édouard Philippe by 56–44 percent and communist firebrand Jean-Luc Mélenchon by 67–33 percent.

A cyberattack has disrupted refrigeration, delivery and pricing systems at supermarket chains across France, Belgium and the Netherlands, impacting at least 700 stores so far. The hack caused fridges to heat up to 122 degrees Fahrenheit (50 degrees Celsius).

CNBC reports that the attack forced refrigeration units at supermarkets including Intermarché, Leclerc and Coopérative U into a continuous defrost cycle at 122 degrees. Normally these units defrost for about two hours a day. Sources described “a wave of heat” escaping from fridges and freezers as a result. The attack reportedly targeted refrigeration controls made by Danfoss, and also hit deliveries and in-store pricing through electronic shelf labels.

Dominique Schelcher, president of Coopérative U, confirmed the incident earlier this week. In an English translation quoted in the article, he said: “A cyberattack has been affecting the refrigeration production facilities of several stores in our network since last night.” He called the situation “extremely serious” and said teams had been mobilized to fix the problem, with an investigation to follow.

Losses are expected to climb into the millions of Euros as shops are forced to discord spoiled food.

According to Reuters, the hack was perpetrated on refridgerators made by Danfoss, which blamed “outdated firmware:”

The source ‌close to ⁠Lecornu said ANSSI had identified a vulnerability in software supplied by Danish company Danfoss.

Danfoss said it was “aware of incidents in France affecting a limited number of refrigeration management systems”.

The affected units “were running outdated firmware”, Danfoss said, adding that it had “long advised customers to keep supported systems updated with the latest firmware and to migrate legacy systems to current-generation solutions”.

No one has claimed credit for the cyberattack or has made a ransom demand as of this writing. Breitbart News has reported extensively on infrastructure sabotage, which this hack may prove to be.

Breitbart News reported in September that a train derailment in France was suspected to be a sabotage incident:

The regional train was carrying 186 passengers from Rouen to Caen when it derailed Friday evening at Cléon, in the Seine-Maritime department of northwestern France.

An 18-year-old woman was among the injured and was evacuated by helicopter to Rouen University Hospital, police said.

A spokeswoman for the French national police communications service, known as SICOP, said that the piece of rail found on the track was “probably” linked to the derailment. She spoke on condition of anonymity because she wasn’t authorized to be publicly named in line with police policy.

The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) parliamentary group in the Saxony-Anhalt Landtag, the state parliament of a federal state in eastern Germany, has agreed that its 15 members will leave the chamber during the planned December election of a minister-president if an Alternative for Germany (AfD) candidate stands.

The move, confirmed on October 13 after a roughly three-hour group meeting in Magdeburg, is intended to remove any possibility that CDU votes could be cast for the AfD in a secret ballot.

Group leader and acting minister-president Sven Schulze said the group had “agreed to do this”.

Fourteen members backed the proposal from the group leadership; former group leader Guido Heuer abstained, citing the need for legal advice on implications for any subsequent ballots.

The decision covers the first and second ballots; the approach to a possible third ballot was left open.

Schulze described the step as sending a clear signal that there would be no support from the CDU for an AfD head of government.

The decision follows the October 6 election of AfD member Tobias Rausch as Landtag president, the first time a representative of a party classified by the Saxony-Anhalt state office for the protection of the constitution as “confirmed right-wing extremist” has presided over a German state parliament. The office has applied that classification to the party’s state branch since 2023.

Rausch received 48 of 82 votes cast. The AfD has 39 seats and the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) five, or 44 certain votes.

There were only five abstentions in total, despite the CDU leadership having recommended that its members abstain (one CDU member was absent).

Other parties had indicated they would vote against. Because the ballot was secret, the source of the additional votes cannot be established with certainty, but the numbers prompted widespread speculation that some came from the CDU.

Public broadcaster ZDF asked the 14 CDU members present how they had voted. Nine said they had abstained, against a recorded total of five abstentions across all groups.

In the September 6 state election the AfD, led by Ulrich Siegmund, took 43.8 per cent of the vote and 39 of 83 seats, more than double its previous result, while the CDU fell to 17.2 per cent and 15 seats. Turnout was 76.9 per cent, against 60.3 per cent five years earlier.

Siegmund has said he will stand for minister-president in December and only in the first ballot.

The Landtag election of a minister-president is by secret ballot without debate.

Under the state constitution the first and second ballots require an absolute majority of all members (42 votes).

With the BSW indicating it will abstain, Siegmund would need three votes from elsewhere.

A third ballot, if required, is decided by a majority of votes cast.

Political scientist Marcel Lewandowsky has said Siegmund could stay in the contest to a third round despite his announcement, in which case an empty CDU bench would lower the number of votes he needs rather than raise it.

Siegmund himself called the plan a strange idea and said it showed disrespect towards the will of the voters.

AfD co-leader Alice Weidel responded that Siegmund would become minister-president “whether in the first, second or third ballot” and described the CDU plan as “kindergarten of the first order”.

BSW group leader Thomas Schulze called the walkout “maximally cowardly” and unparliamentary.

The Social Democratic Party (SPD) said it would participate and vote against; the Left and Greens criticised the move as a capitulation or failure to confront the AfD directly by casting a clear “no”. Left group leader Eva von Angern said the decision laid bare the depth of the mistrust inside the CDU.

The episode has intensified internal CDU tensions in the state.

Several members have spoken of possible exits from the group or the formation of a separate parliamentary group.

Long-serving member and former education minister Marco Tullner has said he is seriously considering leaving.

CDU federal chairman and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has stated that votes for an AfD candidate for such an office are incompatible with CDU values, while Christian Social Union (CSU) leader Markus Söder has said anyone who votes for the AfD has “not much of a future” in the Union. Söder, speaking on public television, also told any dissenters who wanted to go elsewhere to say so and leave.

Schulze, who became group leader after a narrow 8-7 internal vote and remains acting minister-president until a successor is elected, said after the latest meeting that the group had “moved a good bit closer together” and that members wanted to look forward as the strongest opposition force.

He plans to step down as state party chairman; a party congress in early December is expected to choose a successor.
