Mostly peaceful rioting, vandalism and total mayhem in France

The left doesn't want you to see this 

The situation in France has finally devolved into a storm of looting, vandalism, and total mayhem. This has been spurred on by Muslim migrants, as opposed to "students" the left would like us to believe. The media wants us to believe the rioting, looting and destruction, is about the cost of living and education funding. If you believe that claptrap, you're a fool.

With all the rioting and looting, a group of Muslim "students" [not really] take time out to pray to Allah. Ironically, no mosques were vandalized but historical sites such as Marché des Enfants Rouges, in Paris and Limoges City Hall were destroyed on October 12 and 17th respectively,

The Communist News Network (CNN) is calling the worst rioting and destruction France has experienced in years "mostly peaceful." Seriously. And these leftist morons are blaming the cause of the violence, arson and widespread looting on school conditions and the cost of living. Maybe that explains why they're stealing Louis Vitton handbags for example.

And while the mayhem was and is currently taking place, France's President Emmanuel Macron along with his wife [who has bigger balls than he has] went to a Celine Dion concert.

In terms of the destruction mentioned above, Limoges was a 19th-Century City Hall. It was deliberately set ablaze which caused its roof and clock tower to collapse, the structure mostly destroyed by mostly peaceful terrorists.

Limoges City Hall

In other mostly peaceful protests, there's Lyon, where the tourist office was torched. In Marseille, the city hall was stormed, sprayed with graffiti, doors destroyed, furniture damaged and shops in the city, including the Olympique de Marseille, were mostly peacefully looted.

Nationwide in France, between 1,500 to 3,000 shops and businesses were looted or vandalized. Supermarkets, pharmacies, stores, luxury boutiques, electronic stores, cars, bikes, garbage bins, and barricades were peacefully burned.

Not surprisingly, looted goods appeared on resale platforms.

At least two deaths linked to the mostly peaceful protests have been recorded thus far. Mathieu Morat, a 22-year-old police officer was killed by a vehicle while pursuing fleeing mostly peaceful folks. At least two people lost hands from a police crowd-control grenade. A 17-year-old girl lost an eye in Mulhouse.

Roughly 500 to nearly 1,000 officers, gendarmes, firefighters, and paramedics injured (one tally cited ~997, with several serious). Earlier partial figures were lower (150–600+). Hundreds of civilians were also injured in the mostly peaceful clashes.

With these peaceful protests as CNN calls them, we can predict with confidence, that they will once again make an appearance at a city near you. . . unless we act now.

Mahmoud Khalil Runs to the Supreme Court, Hoping for a Judicial Lifeline

Anti-Israel activist Mahmoud "Free Palestine" Khalil is asking the Supreme Court to rescue him from a legal predicament that could allow the Trump administration to arrest him again. After months of legal maneuvering, the Columbia University anti-Semitic scumwafer protest leader is now hoping the nation’s highest court will intervene before immigration authorities get another opportunity to enforce a deportation order against him.

Yes, they hate America but hate it more when told to leave it.

In an X post on Monday, comrade Khalil announced that his legal team had filed a petition, declaring that he has “asked the Supreme Court to affirm that federal courts have the power to hear my case.”

Khalil claims the government has no legitimate case against him and accused the Trump administration of trying to keep federal judges from examining the evidence.

“The government knows all too well that its baseless allegations and smears against me cannot survive the slightest scrutiny in federal court,” the Islamist said. “That’s why it is doing everything it can to keep those courts from looking at my case and to channel it into its kangaroo immigration courts.”

Apparently, when the immigration system produces a result Khalil dislikes, it becomes a kangaroo court. The label is a convenient substitute for addressing the substance of the proceedings, particularly when an immigration judge has already ordered his deportation.

Khalil then broadened his argument into a sweeping warning about free speech, portraying his legal battle as a threat to the constitutional rights of Americans everywhere. Except for the little issue of his not being an American and hating on the government.

“So the question is simple: can the government weaponize immigration laws to punish someone’s speech, then tell federal courts they have no power to step in? If the answer is yes, none of our speech is safe. If the Trump administration can punish someone for pro-Palestine speech, this or any future administration can punish anyone for any speech,” the execrable post-digestive waste of a human said.

That is a dramatic constitutional argument from an activist whose case involves far more than a generic disagreement over political expression. 

Khalil, a Syrian-born green card holder of Palestinian descent, was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in March 2025 after helping lead anti-Israel protests at Columbia University. The Department of Homeland Security accused him of participating in activities that were “aligned to Hamas.”

The distinction matters. The administration has argued that the immigration consequences of Khalil’s case concern national interests and immigration law, while Khalil insists the government is retaliating against his political speech. His Supreme Court petition seeks to keep federal courts involved in resolving that dispute.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio previously argued that Khalil’s “presence or activities would compromise a compelling U.S. foreign policy interest” and vowed to strip the immigration status of foreign “Hamas supporters.”

“We will be revoking the visas and/or green cards of Hamas supporters in America so they can be deported,” Rubio said.

The administration's position is hardly mysterious. A green card grants a foreign national lawful permanent resident status, but it does not confer immunity from immigration law or guarantee that the government can never seek deportation. The legal question is whether the administration has acted within its authority and whether Khalil can challenge those actions in federal court.

The case has already produced a complicated series of legal reversals and competing proceedings. In June 2025, a federal judge in New Jersey ordered Khalil released from ICE detention. That ruling did not, by itself, resolve the separate question of whether he could ultimately be deported.

In April, the Board of Immigration Appeals upheld an immigration judge’s deportation order. Then, in May, a federal appeals court denied Khalil’s request for a rehearing challenging his detention.

Khalil responded to the appeals court decision by calling it “biased and politically motivated.” His lawyers have maintained that he is pursuing a separate case in federal court and cannot yet be detained or deported.

Now the Supreme Court is being asked to weigh in on whether the federal judiciary can hear his challenge. According to The Hill, the justices will consider whether to take up the case during a closed-door meeting in the coming months. Khalil’s legal team hopes the court will hear it during the current term.

For the Trump administration, the case raises questions about the government's authority to enforce immigration law against foreign nationals whose activities it considers contrary to U.S. interests. For Khalil, it is an opportunity to keep his deportation fight alive and frame the dispute as a landmark battle over free expression.

The Supreme Court has not agreed to hear the case, much less ruled in Khalil’s favor. Until the justices make that decision, his campaign for judicial intervention remains just that: a campaign for another chance in court.

Khalil wants the public to see a free-speech martyr. The administration sees an immigration enforcement case involving alleged activities tied to Hamas. The Supreme Court will have to decide whether the legal questions warrant its attention, not whether either side can produce the most dramatic political narrative.

Washington’s Omar Investigation: Democrats Circle the Wagons While More Shoes Prepare to Drop

Washington has never lacked for political theater, but the latest developments surrounding Rep. Ilhan Omar have given the capital’s drama department enough material to keep the lights on for years. Federal agents reportedly arrived at a sitting member of Congress’s home at sunrise, transforming what might otherwise have been a quiet morning into an unwelcome audition for a legal thriller.

Mike Howell, president of the Oversight Project and a man who appears convinced that the plot has barely begun, suggested that more revelations could be on the way. "I think there's other shoes that are going to drop here," he warned. Washington may soon need a much larger closet.

Howell also took aim at Democrats who rushed to Omar’s defense before the public had seen the evidence. "That's why I think the Democrats really just couldn't resist the temptation to jump out of this before they saw any evidence and just circle the wagons [around Omar]." Apparently, congressional solidarity now comes with an express shipping option, allowing lawmakers to deliver their verdicts before investigators finish gathering the paperwork.

Mike Howell

Howell added that the Democrats’ arguments suggest it is "not all peaches and cream underneath the hood," a diagnosis that would make a mechanic nervous and a congressional ethics lawyer reach for the antacids. Whatever lies beneath the political paint job, Howell believes the public has reason to look more closely.

Then came the question of why a federal judge would approve a search warrant in Washington, D.C., a city where legal scrutiny and political influence routinely compete for the same parking space.

Howell offered a remarkably direct explanation: "They probably got the goods on her."

He expanded on that assessment by observing, "You don't get a federal judge to sign off on something like this in Washington, D.C., of all places, unless there is something that is rather convincing."

It is an argument that leaves little room for the usual Washington ritual of pretending that a judicial warrant is merely a clerical misunderstanding. Of course, a warrant is not proof of guilt, and the investigation must establish whether any laws were broken. But the fact that a judge approved the warrant raises questions that cannot be answered simply by assembling a congressional protection squad and declaring the matter politically inconvenient.

Howell also explained how his organization began examining local nonprofit earmarks, describing the process with the sort of understated simplicity that rarely survives contact with Washington’s public relations machinery. "We said, let's go check out those earmarks."

A radical concept, apparently: examine where public money goes, determine who benefits, and ask whether taxpayers are getting anything in return. Somewhere in the federal bureaucracy, a filing cabinet just slammed shut.

Finally, Howell broadened his criticism to the obligations lawmakers accept when they swear an oath to the Constitution. His assessment was blunt: "This isn't normal. And it only seems normal because it's been happening so much. And I think it's about time we take the oath to the Constitution that members swear seriously,"

He followed that statement with an even sharper conclusion: "If somebody has loyalties to another place, they should not be in Congress."

And Omar had admitted her loyalty to Somalia in the past.

That is a serious charge, and it deserves serious scrutiny rather than automatic acceptance or reflexive dismissal. Allegations about divided loyalties must be supported by evidence, not political insinuation. But the principle itself should not be controversial: members of Congress owe their allegiance to the United States Constitution and their duty to the American people, not to foreign governments, outside interests, or political factions demanding unconditional protection.

For now, the investigation continues, the political defenses are firmly in place, and Washington’s familiar cast of characters is busy insisting that everyone else is either corrupt, confused, or conspiring against democracy.

The public, meanwhile, is left waiting for the evidence, the answers, and whatever footwear Howell believes is still airborne.

Stay tuned. In Washington, the subpoenas may be serious, the accusations may be consequential, and the congressional outrage is practically guaranteed to arrive before the facts.

Iran parliament approves Mehrdad Akhlaghi as defense minister to replace latest goat-heavy predecessor killed by IDF

Iran’s parliament has approved Mehrdad Akhlaghi Ketabchi as the country’s new defense minister, ending months of interim leadership and putting a longtime veteran of Iran’s aerospace and missile industries in charge of rebuilding the regime’s military machine.

Akhlaghi replaces Majid Ebn al-Reza, who assumed the position on an interim basis after former Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh was killed in US-Israeli strikes in February. Apparently, Tehran’s preferred response to losing a defense minister is to appoint another man from the same defense establishment and resume making threats.

Akhlaghi brings decades of experience in Iran’s defense industry, including senior positions in its aerospace and missile sectors. He also brings an existing collection of US and EU sanctions tied to his work in the Iranian military-industrial complex.

Presenting his program to lawmakers, Akhlaghi promised to rebuild Iran’s military-industrial infrastructure, accelerate the development of defense technologies, and expand cooperation with private companies. The regime, it seems, intends to get its weapons factories back in business and make sure the next round of threats comes with an upgraded arsenal.

He also delivered the customary warning to Washington, declaring, "If the American enemy makes another miscalculation, the response of the valiant Iranian people and the fighters of Islam will be surprising and extensive,"

Akhlaghi added that Tehran had taken measures to counter the possible use by the US of its "mother of all bombs" against Iran.
Iran Warns America About America's Bombs

The appointment comes amid reports that the United States has developed plans for renewed military operations against Iran. CNN reported this week that those plans could include the GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb, commonly known as the "mother of all bombs," against Iranian energy infrastructure and nuclear sites if President Donald Trump orders a resumption of combat operations.

The MOAB is among the largest non-nuclear weapons in the US arsenal. It is also the sort of weapon that tends to make discussions about military escalation considerably less theoretical.

Akhlaghi responded with another threat, this time suggesting that American troops could pay a gruesome price if Washington launches another attack.

"The US president should focus on ensuring his forces are withdrawn safely from our region. If he drops a single bomb, he will have to see how many of his troops end up being carried out of the region in a horizontal position," Akhlaghi said.

So Iran’s newly installed defense minister has begun his tenure by promising to rebuild the country’s military infrastructure, accelerate weapons development, and warn the United States that American soldiers could come home in body bags.

For a regime whose military establishment has already suffered major losses in US-Israeli strikes, the confidence is remarkable. Tehran is determined to demonstrate that its capacity for threats remains fully operational, even as it works to restore the military capabilities needed to back them up.

Two dead by woman driving truck onto soccer field--one victim was a child

Two people, including a child, were killed Saturday afternoon when a 34-year-old woman drove a truck onto a soccer field in Wichita, Kansas.

Authorities said emergency dispatchers began receiving calls around 3:25 p.m. Central time reporting that a vehicle had driven through a soccer game at Stryker Sports Complex. Police, firefighters, and emergency medical personnel responded to the scene, where two people were pronounced dead—a child and an adult.

“The vehicle involved in this incident remained at the scene and the driver of that vehicle is currently in our custody. There is no additional ongoing threat to the public from that driver,” said Wichita Police Captain Aaron Moses at a press conference. “Our officers along with law enforcement from the area, Wichita fire department, and Sedgwick County EMS responded to the scene,” he added.

Eleven other people were taken to area hospitals. Ten suffered traumatic injuries ranging from bruises to severe injuries, though authorities said none were believed to be life-threatening. The injured included two 5-year-olds, two 8-year-olds, and a 9-year-old girl. Authorities believe the driver had a child playing soccer elsewhere at the complex. “We believe that she had a child who was playing soccer here today, but not on that field,” Moses added. Moses said the woman was “cooperative” with investigators as they worked to determine a motive.

“We have a really good idea of what happened. What we’re working to do now is do the investigation to determine how it happened and why,” Moses said. “We know people want the answers to those questions. We also need to determine the answer to those questions.”

Bystanders pulled the woman from the truck. Two children were reportedly in the backseat.

Wichita police urged anyone with video from the incident to submit tips through its website. “We are seeking any video related to the tragic incident that occurred at the Stryker Sports Complex on October 17, 2026.” the police department said. “Even if you think it might be insignificant, please upload it at the link provided or scan the QR code.”

Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly said she was closely monitoring the situation and offered condolences to the victims and their families. “I am very grateful to the first responders on the scene today,” she added.

Obama stepped on the old proverbial rake

Behold, the sheer, unadulterated tragedy of former President Barack Obama discovering that the federal government can be used for political targeting. One can only imagine the sheer emotional toll it takes to clutch one's pearls this hard.

Former divisive President Barack Obama is lashing out against President Donald Trump for the decision to criminally investigate Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar over her immigration status.

"It is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say," Obama wailed into the digital ether, completely forgetting that his own administration treated political weaponization like an intramural sport.

After all, why dwell on minor historical footnotes like the IRS aggressively auditing conservative non-profits, or the totally organic creation of the Russia collusion hoax and the Steele Dossier? Those were just whimsical little pranks, unlike today's horrors.

“The fact that any president, or any administration, is willing to engage in such transparent efforts to intimidate someone should outrage all Americans,” Obama continued, apparently having checked his own reflection in the mirror and found it entirely invisible.

Naturally, contemporary Democrats are simply trying to save everyone the trouble by openly warning young conservatives that working for the opposition might ruin their lives with legal threats. But do not worry, because the commentariat has already assured us that this is completely different.

Feds Discover Ilhan Omar’s Immigration File Does Not Match Her Public Biography After Reading Sister’s Texts

Ilhan Omar when she isn't angry

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) had her D.C. home raided this week as part of an ongoing immigration fraud investigation. The rumors have circulated for years. The Justice Department has now decided to treat them as something other than background noise. Federal agents searched her home and seized her phone, computer, and passport. Omar’s personal life contains a series of dates and relationships that refuse to line up in the same order twice.

She has misfiled campaign finance reports and her taxes. Staff members may have adjusted her date of birth in 2018 so the naturalization timeline would remain internally consistent. The probe began under President Joe Biden, which removes the usual option of labeling the entire matter a coordinated political attack. A significant development arrived through text messages recovered from the phone of Omar’s sister, Sahra Noor, which officials seized earlier this year. 

The New York Times reported:

Federal investigators have been reviewing family text messages as they aim to build a case implicating Representative Ilhan Omar, a Minnesota Democrat, of conspiring to commit immigration fraud, three [anonymous] people familiar with the matter said this week.

The messages were obtained from a phone that officials seized earlier this year from one of Ms. Omar’s sisters, Sahra Noor, a health care executive and author, according to the three people.

The messages contained information that investigators had used to get a federal judge to authorize homeland security agents to search Ms. Omar’s Washington-area residence on Monday, the three [anonymous] people said. Agents spent hours searching the home of the congresswoman and were seen walking away with several boxes of seized items.

The people familiar with the seizure of Ms. Noor’s phone spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss an open criminal investigation that is before a federal grand jury in Minnesota. Federal officials have issued subpoenas in recent days to Ms. Noor and several other people in Ms. Omar’s orbit.

The investigation seeks to determine whether Ms. Omar and her relatives lied or omitted crucial information in immigration paperwork they filed since moving to the United States in the 1990s. They were admitted as refugees after fleeing Somalia’s civil war.

Markwayne Mullin, the homeland security secretary, suggested last month that the investigation could ultimately result in Ms. Omar’s deportation.

The Justice Department on Friday did not immediately respond to a request for comment about Ms. Noor’s phone. It was not clear when or where her phone was seized.

Ms. Noor, who recently published a memoir about her upbringing and the family’s journey to the United States, did not respond this week to several requests for comment. In recent years she has split her time between the United States and Kenya, and she spoke at events in the Minneapolis area this month to promote her book.

A Democrat judge approved the warrant. Judges generally prefer not to attach their signatures to searches of sitting members of Congress unless the supporting material is difficult to ignore. Federal agents also sorted through Omar’s trash in search of DNA evidence, which indicates the inquiry has moved past paperwork discrepancies into questions of biological relatedness.

Ilhan Omar demands her passport be released for some reason, as computers seized in home search by authorities

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) wants federal authorities to return the passport, computers, cellphone, and other personal belongings seized from her home during a criminal investigation. Her attorneys are also demanding recordings of the search, apparently hoping to establish that the government’s investigation is as improper as they insist it is.

On Monday, agents from the Department of Homeland Security searched Omar’s residence after obtaining a warrant approved by a federal judge. According to The Wall Street Journal, agents seized several items, including her cellphone, notebooks, personal computers, and passport.

Omar’s legal team responded Friday with a letter to the Justice Department demanding the immediate return of the property and declaring that the investigation has no legitimate foundation.

“There is no legitimate basis for any suggestion that she has violated any law concerning her citizenship status,” her attorneys wrote.

They then accused the administration of conducting a politically motivated campaign against one of President Donald Trump’s most prominent congressional critics.

“This vindictive, retributive, and politically motivated criminal investigation into one of the President’s chief congressional critics violates Representative Omar’s constitutional rights and threatens the separation of powers,” they added.

Her lawyers also objected to the timing of the search, arguing that investigators deliberately acted during the final weeks before the midterm elections, when voters will decide whether Omar deserves another term in Congress. Justice Department practice has traditionally discouraged overt investigative steps involving political candidates during the roughly 60 days before an election, a guideline Omar’s attorneys contend the department violated.

In other words, Omar’s legal team would prefer that investigators exercise restraint during election season, particularly when their investigation happens to involve Omar.

The Justice Department, meanwhile, offered a less dramatic assessment of its conduct.

“Our attorneys and law enforcement partners complied with all court orders and legal obligations, as they always do,” department spokesperson Emily Covington told ABC News.

Omar’s attorneys also requested copies of any audio and video recordings made inside her home during the search. Whether those recordings will be released remains unclear.

The precise scope of the investigation has not been made public. However, The Daily Wire outlined five possible areas of criminal scrutiny on Wednesday, including questions involving immigration status, citizenship, financial disclosures, and potential conflicts of interest.

One possibility concerns whether Omar’s father committed immigration fraud while seeking refugee status, an allegation that could raise additional questions about her own citizenship, depending on the facts and applicable law. Another involves questions about when her father became a citizen and whether Omar was under 18 at the time.

Neither possibility has been established as a finding of wrongdoing, and the investigation’s actual focus remains unknown.

Other questions involve Omar’s husband, Tim Mynett, and allegations that he used his wife’s congressional position to benefit his firm’s African clients through legislation. Questions have also been raised about the couple’s business interests and financial disclosures.

The couple’s reported finances have attracted attention in their own right. A 2025 filing valued their assets at as much as $30 million, largely attributable to Mynett’s business interests. An amended filing earlier this year, however, reported a net worth of approximately $18,000 to $95,000 and listed Mynett’s businesses as having no value after liabilities.

Those sharply different figures raise questions that may warrant explanation. They do not, by themselves, establish criminal conduct.

Omar, for her part, has framed the investigation as another chapter in her long-running battle with Trump and his administration.

On Thursday, she thanked supporters and constituents who have continued to stand by her.

“Thank you to everyone who stood with me over the years,” she said. “It’s been a scary journey but I have always been grounded in my work and ability to provide exemplary service to my constituents. Trump and his administration have been after me since I arrived in Congress. I have always stood up to him and that will never change. The pedophile protector will never silence me.”

The Justice Department did not immediately respond to The Daily Wire’s request for comment.

For now, Omar wants her belongings back, her attorneys want the search recordings, and the congresswoman insists the investigation is politically motivated. Federal authorities, meanwhile, have yet to publicly explain what they are investigating or what evidence prompted the search.

That leaves a straightforward question hanging over the controversy: What, exactly, are investigators looking for, and what will the evidence ultimately show?
