Has the conflagration in France come to the U.S.?
Now there’s this, from a criminal bound to be identified in the press as a ‘Virginia man.’
How Wedgewood’s sham polls fooled the media
This week, polling firm Wedgewood Polls was exposed for fabricating data and subsequently shut down. The company had claimed to survey competitive primary and general election races, with its results feeding into prominent polling averages, from Decision Desk HQ to Nate Silver’s Silver Bulletin Substack. But the timing was suspicious: the announcement came only after an investigation by polling outlet FiftyPlusOne exposed it as fraudulent.
The scandal, breaking barely two weeks before voters go to the polls for the Midterms, follows the Median Strategies scandal in August, when another purported polling operation was revealed to be faking its data. Both Median and Wedgewood claimed their polling was merely a “social experiment” designed to show the weakness of safeguards against malicious actors in the polling industry. Many professional pollsters, like myself, rolled their eyes at this.
Stand, Men of the West
In the year 1095, at the Council of Clermont, Pope Urban II called on the peoples of Christendom to liberate Jerusalem from Muslim occupation. “Deus vult!” the cry arose. God wills it. Christendom answered.
Why Jean-Luc Mélenchon wants France to burn
As France has descended into anarchy, enduring its most destructive and violent rioting in decades, most of the candidates to replace Emmanuel Macron as president have condemned the chaos and vowed a swift restoration of order. Not so Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the Islamo-left firebrand and presidential candidate for La France Insoumise (LFI), who has been busy fanning the flames.
Maybe …
🚨 Paris, minutes ago. During Macron’s live address to the nation, a Republican Guard soldier posted directly behind him suddenly BREAKS protocol ⚠️
He shifts rapidly, glances around nervously, then abruptly turns and marches off stage in full view of the cameras while Macron continues speaking without missing a beat.
No explanation.
No acknowledgment from the President.
Just a soldier walking away from his post on national television as the country watches in stunned silence from the Élysée.France is already on fire: riots, strikes, record-low approval, mutiny rumors in the military.
And now this.Silent act of defiance?
Mental breakdown under pressure?
Or the first visible crack in a system that’s about to shatter?Whatever it was… it wasn’t accidental.
Something just moved.
And everyone felt it.— Matt Wallace (@MattWallace888) November 29, 2025
John Ivison: Carney’s pro-immigration temptation beckons the cobra effect
Federal Liberals could be forgiven a sense of hubris on viewing recent polls that suggest more than half of all voters support their party.
But they should remember that the balloon can be popped by a single pinprick of reality.
Museum removes Egyptian mummies from display… because it ‘doesn’t have consent from the deceased individual’
Bosses at one of Scotland’s most popular museums are at the centre of a ‘woke’ row after removing mummies from display because of a lack of ‘informed consent from the deceased individual’.
Glasgow Life, an arm’s-length charitable organisation funded by SNP-run Glasgow City Council, said a mummified male head was among the items removed at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.
Detroit tourism bureau halts advertising in Canada amid trade war, hopes Canadians won’t ‘hold grudge’
Detroit’s tourism bureau has completely stopped marketing to Canada, saying they understand that the “antagonistic” American actions have strained relations between the two countries.
Historically, Visit Detroit spent seven figures annually, which is about 10 per cent of its budget, trying to lure Canadians across the border.
Germany plans to force social media platforms to fill 20% of algorithmic recommendations with ‘state-approved’ content
Germany’s federal states are proposing that social media platforms reserve at least 20 percent of algorithmic recommendations for content from a pool of approved media outlets deemed important for opinion diversity, according to a draft under public consultation. The proposed measure is already being slammed as a state-mandated propaganda effort that would force German citizens to view content friendly to the ruling establishment parties.
Border Service charges five in alleged visa fraud involving 209 Bangladeshis
TORONTO — The Canada Border Services Agency has charged five people in an alleged immigration fraud scheme that involved 243 temporary resident visa applications for 209 Bangladeshi nationals.
Rashel Mirza and Mohammed Aminul Islam, both of Montréal, Md Mudassar Alam Bhuiyan of Toronto, and Md Rakibul Hassan of Bangladesh appeared at the Valleyfield courthouse on Thursday. A warrant has been issued for Hassan, who is reportedly in Bangladesh. CBSA said a fifth unnamed accomplice is also facing charges.
The Liberal Party cannot be trusted to manage immigration.
Another Punjabi Indian wedding has seized residential streets in Brampton: loud music, blocked roads, illegal parking, endless hours. Neighbours are disturbed and annoyed to the point where they have no choice but to move out.
This is what you get when groups treat public streets as private party zones and the municipalities decline to enforce the same noise and traffic rules it applies to everyone else.
Brampton is the preview for the rest of Canada.

France is a warning – our civilisation is not immortal
Could it happen here? I suppose that’s the underlying thought many of us have had as we watch France burn. And the immediate response is, why wouldn’t it? I am old enough to remember in the early 2000s when people used to say France was a model of integration. Then in 2005 the suburbs went up in flames, followed by parts of the centre of Paris and other major cities. The Citroën flambé became a national dish and suddenly talk of ‘the French model of integration’ disappeared. That same year, eight home-grown terrorists of foreign origin attempted to blow up the London transport network, four succeeded and a little bit of that blasé British attitude that we know better than the French disappeared too. In 2011 our own cities started burning, but we learned nothing from that.

Canada Bans Its Diplomats From Being Seen With US Candidates
Canadian diplomats working in the US have been directed to stay away from candidates running in the midterm elections, and to keep a low profile to avoid allegations by the Trump administration of political interference, people familiar with the matter said.
Under written guidance distributed Tuesday, Canadian officials are barred from meeting with or even being in the same room as midterm candidates — all House candidates and a third of the Senate — unless given special permission.
WTF?
I am releasing my full documentary titled: Paris 3 Days Later… I dropped everything to go to Paris because it was clear from the footage that this is could be coming to America next.
I couldn’t believe my eyes, just burned up upside down cars lying on the street. The crazier part was just seeing people walk around it like it was nothing.
In the video you’ll see interviews I did with an anarchist and a communist that justified the riots. You’ll hear from a woman who feels unsafe going home after work every night. Most of all you’ll actually see that the majority of the people in the city do not want their city to burn.
I will continue my reporting here and be at the next riot.
The best way to support my reporting is to subscribe on X.

Ilhan Omar court documents reveal two clues about the feds’ case against Squad rep
WASHINGTON — The search warrant on “Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar hasn’t necessarily been “fully” completed, court documents in a legal fight between the feds and the media indicated.
At dawn on Oct. 12, the feds executed a search warrant and raided Omar’s (D-Minn.) DC home as part of a probe into her immigration status in a stunning move less than a month out from the Nov. 3 election.
To justify keeping the details of the records for the warrant under wraps from numerous media outlets, US Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro cited concerns that it wasn’t fully completed.
WTF?
I see the Jennie’s @CanadianForces are demonstrating the level of proficiency we have come to expect from a failed woke @liberal_party politically polluted disaster of an organization.
