Von der Leyen now blames Russia for "weaponising migration" against Europe.
This woman spent years calling mass migration the EU's greatest strength.
But when it backfires, it's Russia's fault.
Her lies know no bounds.

Before anyone dismisses Louise Lucas’s indictment as another “Donald Trump political prosecution,” read it.
This is a detailed, 45-page federal indictment bearing the names of career federal prosecutors Eric Hurt and Brian Samuels. It contains specific dates, financial transactions, text messages, and alleged conversations.
An indictment is NOT a finding of guilt. Lucas and the other defendants are presumed innocent, and prosecutors must prove their charges beyond a reasonable doubt. But this is a very serious charging document.
Among its allegations:
• $100,000 supplied by the FBI: Prosecutors allege Lucas accepted the money at her legislative office in Richmond as a partial repayment connected to a marijuana business investment. The indictment separately alleges that repayment was exchanged for her continued work to steer a license. Pages 26 and 34.
• Legislation and personal profit: Prosecutors allege she discussed pending marijuana legislation, a license for a co-conspirator, and sharing the proceeds, saying: “this is our last chance at generational wealth . . .. I’ve got too old to not be greedy.” Page 27.
• Licensing leverage: Prosecutors allege she told legislators they were trying to disqualify a prospective applicant until he repaid her money. Page 28.
• An alleged admission: The indictment attributes to Lucas a statement acknowledging that her earlier conduct was illegal, during a discussion about legislation making it legal. Pages 27–28.
• Large-scale marijuana trafficking: The indictment charges a conspiracy involving at least 100 kilograms of marijuana, along with racketeering, money laundering, and honest-services fraud.
Calling it political does not answer those allegations. They deserve scrutiny, and the defendants deserve a fair trial.

Another example of European bluster. “We hate Elon” but we sure love his cars.
Tesla just took the top two spots in Europe's entire car market
September 2026:
#1 Tesla Model Y: 40,971
#2 Tesla Model 3: 25,057
#3 Volkswagen Golf: 18,088
The two best-selling cars across every brand and every fuel type were Teslas
Tesla recorded 66,035 registrations in total for the month, representing around 98% of the market
Fact: European countries are net buyers of U.S. bonds. France’s bonds are net negative with the 10Y now above 5% causing further concerns about the country’s financial stability. The Old Continent leaders like to bash the U.S. but still love our paper over their own. Strongest economy in the world. 🇺🇸 💪

Pou chèf gang yo ak manm gang yo k ap kenbe kat konpatriyòt nou yo an otaj ann Ayiti:
Mesye nou kidnape yo pa konbatan. Yo se teknisyen nan domèn avyasyon ki fè pati misyon nou ann Ayiti, nan kad yon misyon entènasyonal. Misyon nou an gen sèlman pilòt ak pèsonèl teknik, ki gen kòm travay prensipal fè evakyasyon medikal epi sove lavi moun, pa fè lagè.
Men, nou te kidnape yo yon fason lach pandan yo t ap retounen apre yo te fin achte manje nan yon makèt nan zòn nan.
Se poutèt sa, jodi a nou te lanse yon operasyon militè pou pote yo sekou. Nou gen yon sèl objektif: fè kat konpatriyòt nou yo retounen lakay yo vivan, san okenn mal.
Men, mwen vle pou nou menm, chèf gang yo, konprann yon bagay byen klè: atak jodi a pa anyen devan sa k ap vini si nou pa remèt toule kat otaj yo vivan.
Epi pa pran pawòl nou yo pou menas san fondman. Nou deja fini ak gang yo nan El Salvador, e nou kapab fini ak nou tou.
Nou toujou gen tan pou evite sa.
Remèt nou kat konpatriyòt nou yo vivan, san okenn mal, epi tout bagay ap retounen jan sa te ye anvan kidnaping lan.
Desizyon an nan men nou.

🚨 HOLY CRAP. MI Senate candidate Abdul El Sayed just vowed to OPPOSE citizenship requirements to vote and voter ID, and Mike Rogers GRILLED him for it
ABDUL: "[Proving citizenship/ID] is about voter suppression! [...] I think that's pretty crazy and you pile that on to the voter suppression tactics we've seen out of the Supreme Court."
ROGERS: "Yeah. It's easy and rational to ask for ID! My opponent calls for open borders, wants to give illegals drivers licenses, and then avail them to all of the services of the United States of America!" 🇺🇸
This is insane...it's now Abdul's campaign platform to let ILLEGALS VOTE.
To NOT require voter ID. He just said it in front of thousands of Michigan voters
This is exactly why the SAVE America Act must be priority number ONE for the Senate. Proving you're a citizen before you vote should be the bare minimum

Stephen Hubbard, a U.S. citizen who was jailed in Russia for more than four years after being accused of fighting for Ukraine, has been released from custody.
During a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff in St. Petersburg on Wednesday, Witkoff thanked him for freeing the American.
"Our whole nation sends its thanks," Witkoff said. "Because of you, he's going home to his family."
Hubbard, who is in poor health, was expected to be flown to Texas for treatment at a military hospital.

Bardella is a real leader.
🚨🇫🇷 Jordan Bardella just looked a leftist MP dead in the eye and said it without flinching:
“It’s because of YOUR friends that thousands of shopkeepers are crying this morning.
Their windows are smashed, their businesses looted, their lives wrecked…
And you still have the nerve to show up and lecture me."
Brilliant and direct.

What we know:
1. She's a member of the French left-wing party and an activist, one of the biggest advocates for opening up migration to North African peoples.
2. She owns a small chic boutique in an upscale spot, she stood in her shop trying to save it from looting and theft telling them that she's a famous activist.
3. She told them I'm so-and-so, the activist for asylum, I'm with you, I've defended you and your entry and stay in France, they spat on her, knocked her down, and trampled her with their feet, good thing she's still alive.
4. And they looted the whole shop, losing all the struggle and work of her lifetime in a moment. Standing there stunned, not believing that these thieving, rabble-rousing, criminal, barbaric hordes are the ones she's spent her whole life defending, and advocating for them to invade her country and destroy it

Don’t always agree with the President and he’s had plenty of unforced errors over his political career, but he is 💯spot on here. Russia, Iran, Ukraine, energy prices, inflation, and general instability are all intertwined. You can’t say that the Iran war is bad for oil prices and inflation, then turn around and ignore the fact that spot LNG prices is ALL on the Ukraine War. And he’s absolutely right about Zelenskyy driving up the price of diesel and fertilizer. This is the same guy who blew up an EU-Russia jointly owned NordStream pipeline to drive up natural gas prices. On purpose. The whole world is paying a lot more in inflation, higher LNG costs, economic uncertainty (see France) than what our governments officially commit us to with Ukraine financing. Trillions more. And after almost five years with millions dead or maimed, none of us got a single cent in return. It’s time to stop this now. Pull Starlink/StarShield Today @elonmusk @realDonaldTrump and call Zelenskyy’s bluff that they would be able to continue without it. Enough is enough.

🚨🇺🇸🇪🇺🇷🇺 Sec. Bessent on the EU's hypocrisy:
"The Europeans are financing the Russian war machine.
The U.S. imports $4 billion of Russian products; $1.8 billion of that is fertilizer.
The Europeans import more than TEN TIMES that."
Washington is calling the EU hand-wringing out for what it is: blatant hypocrisy.

À La Barrique, Aline, la patronne, a été tabassée et défigurée. Son restaurant a été entièrement calciné. Elle a tout perdu.
Jusqu’où ira cette barbarie ? Soutien total à Aline, aux commerçants du 10e. Les responsables doivent être retrouvés et punis avec la plus grande sévérité!

Vive la Islamunist RĂ©volution
Pour moi, c'est l'image la plus horrible de ce 17 octobre:
Un couple d'octogénaire dépouillé de tout, en pleine rue, laissé à moitié nu.
Comme si les Rolex, les Vuiton, les Hermès, les Dior, les Sephora pillés n'étaient pas suffisants pour la revente.
L'image qui devrait ĂŞtre un signal d'alarme pour tout l'occident.
L'image d'un pseudo président qui a perdu le contrôle. Qui a totalement échoué envers son peuple.
L'image d'une gauche radicale qui a sacrifié votre propre identité pour faire de votre pays une zone de guerre, aux arrières-plans culturels qui n'ont rien à voir avec les vôtres.
Cette image est effrayante!

Dear President Kornbluth and Chairman Gorenberg,
Yesterday, as I am sure you are aware, a Boston jury unanimously found that @MIT professor Kristin Knouse defamed David Sabatini, falsely accused him of rape and sexual harassment, and tortuously interfered with his contractual arrangements including his tenure at MIT.
MIT and its tenure review committee relied on Professor Knouse’s statements when it took away David’s tenure and terminated him.
MIT's policies explicitly prohibit harassment, retaliation, and fabrication of claims. Falsely accusing a colleague of rape and sexual harassment and pushing for his termination under false pretenses are clearly violations of MIT policy.
In light of the unanimous findings of the jury after five years of discovery, many legal motions and countermotions by both parties, and a three-week trial in Suffolk County Superior Court in Boston:
Is MIT going to take away Knouse’s tenure and terminate her?
If not, why not?
Is MIT going to restore David’s tenure, and apologize for firing him?
If not, why not?
In light of what has transpired in this grave miscarriage of justice, MIT has the opportunity and the obligation to right a serious wrong here.
At a minimum, the public deserves transparency into what actions MIT is taking in this case as taxpayers are major funders of MIT.
Sincerely,
Bill Ackman
A civil jury ruled in favor of ex-MIT scientist David Sabatini, who was accused by a younger colleague of inappropriate sexual conduct in his Cambridge research lab, and awarded him $6 million in damages. trib.al/s3v9VIX
