Slave for a Day

The French senate this week passed a law that will force everyone to work for one extra day a year, with everything they earn going directly to the government. [More]

People get all outraged when they see it put like that.

What the hell do they think “Tax Freedom Day” admits about our country?

Or the words “Tea Party” signify…?

Free Speech is Allowed Speech (with Apologies to Orwell)

The arrest of the 39-year-old technology billionaire prompted on Sunday a warning from Moscow to Paris that he should be accorded his rights and criticism from X owner Elon Musk who said that free speech in Europe was under attack. [More]

Time for the absolutist weirdos to come crawling out…

Why is it in my interest to risk WW3 defending fascist Europe again…?

A teenager who marched outside an North Yorkshire Islamic centre with firelighters in his pocket while waving an England flag is going to “lose everything because of one night of stupid behaviour,” a court heard. [More]

Yeah, waving an English flag is pretty stupid.

Self-Inflicted Wounds

The prisoner was named by the prosecutor’s office in Paris as Mohamed Amra… Another video, apparently taken before or during the attack, shows two masked people dressed all in black and armed with what appear to be automatic firearms. [More]

Between “collective duty” and invader empowerment, I’m having a real tough time giving a f…

What were all these deaths for again…?

I’d say “Never Again,” but it looks like our “leaders” are rattling sabers for Round Three…

Ce n’est pas Charlie

Police find scores of guns at French star Delon’s home [More]

It’s sounds like he’s far enough gone to where there’s no point in hauling him in, and whichever squabbling heir thought it would work to their advantage to rat him out is going to see the estate diminished in fines.

I guess he wasn’t about to be Charlie, either.

Any Bets His Name’s Not ‘Pierre’?

Knifeman kills German tourist, wounds others near France’s Eiffel Tower… A 26-year-old suspect, a French national arrested after the attack, had pledged allegiance to Islamic State… [More]

Is that why no one is naming him?

His victims, of course, were defenseless by mandate.

Oh, and here’s a surprise:

The suspect had in 2016 been sentenced to four years in prison for planning another attack, and had been on the French security services’ watch list, Darmanin said. He was also known for having psychiatric disorders, Darmanin added.

Another Rejection of Republican Principles

Knife-wielding attacker shouts ‘Allahu akbar’ and kills teacher in French school amid Hamas-Israel war [More]

Forbidden Observations

Foreigners Commit 69% Of Robberies, Violent Crimes & Sexual Assaults On Public Transport… However, looking closer at the data, it is revealed that Africans alone are responsible for 52 percent of such crimes while only representing 3.2 percent of the population of France. [More]

Are you allowed to say that?

Fortunately, the government knows just what to do!

Is Paris Burning?

Anti-police fury spiralled further as a leaked police intelligence report today said: “We are at war with savage hordes of vermin.” [More]

Because that’s much more offensive than ingrates going to war against those who took them in and trying to burn down a civilization “refugees” fled toward rather than away from.

What better time for ordinary citizens to thank the government responsible for all those “commonsense gun safety laws“…?

French President Suggests Taxing America to Save the European Green Energy Dream [More]

Taxation without representation… where have we heard that before?

I just wish the Founders had been as concerned with representation without “taxation”.
