Europe’s paradox
I don't know if anyone has noticed, but suddenly Europe has copied the lawfare going on in the United States. We all witnessed how the American left used lawfare in an attempt to destroy Donald Trump for four years. It was dirty & nasty and undemocratic. They wanted Trump off the ballot, and they abused the law to do it. European governments wouldn't emulate that, would they?
This past February a Conservative, which European media always terms "hard-right" won 21% of the vote in Germany. The party was the AFD. In parts of East Germany, it even got 40% of the vote. It is representative of many Germans who are fed up with Germany's immigration policy, its energy policy and its radical environmental policy. Even though the AFD controls 152 seats in the German Parliament, an unwritten rule was created that no other political party will make an alliance with them to get a majority. So even though they had the greatest increase in popularity among Germans, they were ostracized. That is not a democracy.
In March over in Romania, a Conservative candidate came out of nowhere, Mr. Georgescu and he led everyone in the first round. Polling indicated that he would be elected Prime Minister of Rumania. The elites then declared him "unfit." Some said he was colluding with Vladimir Putin. Sound familiar? Believe it or not a Rumanian Court took him off the ballot. Again. that is not democracy.
Then comes the most outrageous of all. In France Marine Le Pen, the leader of Socialist France's most Conservative Party, who had enormous momentum, was a victim of leftwing lawfare. The high court there said that she had expropriated campaign funds. They said she was using campaign funds for personal use, a law only applied to her it seems. The court, without a jury, then sentenced her to four years in prison and barred her from the very election that they were terrified she would win. This is the opposite of democracy. It is the tyranny of the left and that is the greatest problem the world faces today.
In the news:
Markets fell for a second day in Asia and Europe. The S&P 500 dropped nearly 5 percent yesterday, its deepest retreat since the height of the pandemic.
Israel hit Syria with airstrikes on military bases and a ground raid that it said had targeted terrorist infrastructure. Syrian officials said the attacks were an attempt to destabilize their new government.
The Trump administration intends to block $510 million in federal contracts and grants for Brown University.
The Education Department threatened to withhold funds from public schools unless state education officials verified the elimination of DEI programs.
Mayor Eric Adams of New York said he would run for reelection as an Independent.

Good morning and welcome to the news.
It is official now:
Laura Loomer, Trump confidant. Eduardo Munoz/Reuters
Trump fired six National Security Council officials after his trusted advisor, Laura Loomer, visited the White House. At first it was rumored that Loomer was behind it, but yesterday she made it official on X.
Her mentor, Iago, was also a trusted adviser.
Who was the main character in that one?
Bianca
Her massive lack of advisory qualifications is exactly the qualification that this administration desires in their effort to destroy America.
She was right about Biden.
She said debate him.
She’s a broken clock at best, QAnon truther crank at worst.
... probably because of the name. /s
They should have ended the DEI programs.
And allowing antisemitic discrimination and harassment on campus. to take place on campus.
That has become a major problem for the left.
They aren't going to give up their antisemitic discrimination and harassment. That would mean they would then be a productive member of society.
As long as people don't denounce it, especially Jewish Americans, they will keep on doing it.
Have you read about how Brown University is going after Alex Shieh? Damn...
They've been caught and in the case of Brown, they are openly retaliating against those who ask questions.
Laura Loomer, the new head of HRT for the WH.
Her experience and knowledge along with Gabby and Noem have set a new standard for the WH. It will now be renamed the ‘’Drie farben Haus’’ or the house of three colors a house of ill repute in west Germany back in the day.
What do you know about those fired?
That they were qualified to be WH aides at the top of the NSA even though they were MAGA sycophants.
Along comes a spider named Loomer and they were fired because of who promoted them in the past
or who they were married to, and that spouse's prior employments.
This is right out of the KGB playbook. Fascism 101, Dicktator 102 and Authoritarian conspiracy theories 200.
It's a disgrace.
We still have an Education Department?
I thought you guys were all about local control?
You guys told us that only congress can get rid of it.
They told us 'only congress" can do several things. To date, that's all been shown to be complete bullshit.
It seems the only one who can't do anything is the one the people elected.
But that one elected person has shown that the "only congress" blathering is just that, blathering. And those who keep blathering the bs are trying everything they can to stop legal actions by "shopping" for bottom feeding district "judges" with absolutely zero jurisdiction.
My God, they've almost had him so many times!
They must feel like Wile E Coyote.
So many "smoking guns", "we got him now" and fiction that turned out to be absolutely nothing.
Beep Beep !
There were more twists & turns than a Raymond Chandler novel.
My favorite is still the story of the Russian prostitutes.
That was a good one, did you see the news that Trump has to pay over $800,000 in England over the Steele Dossier.
Too bad, so sad.
NY State just told the Trump Administration where to stick the illegal
blackmail orders to end DEI.
Chicago will follow suit and sue for any denied federal funding denied.
They are going to have one hell of a time collecting.
We expect nothing less from TDS driven mighty mental midgets- even those in England.
Fuck both of them. They aren't entitled to federal money when they discriminate.
I am sure both are shopping for far left DC federal district judges now.
Exactly! Fuck New York! Fuck California! Fuck England! MAGA!
FFS...
Europe is sliding towards fascism. Stifling and punishing critical speech, annulling elections and jailing opposition leaders.
I think so.
So they are democrats?
I didn't think that you read the New York Times
Every morning, I read it. Not because I want to, but to stay ahead of "the gang."
I do use their photos. I did borrow the title, but for a much different reason as you can plainly see.
Has anyone noticed oil prices?
Down for a bad reason. In anticipation of a significant reduction in commerce, thus less transportation, fuel prices are down. Nice try though.
I love it!
I must say, it seems everyone had their coffee today. Nice spin plus somebody caught on to the way I use the NYT photos.
I may have to change tactics.
It’s not rocket science. [deleted,] [✘] but this is textbook stuff.
Should put "drill baby drill" on hold.
The idea is to find new buyers for oil. That is what motivates drilling.
Tell Musk he can buy it. The world is transitioning away from oil. They are still at the teat, but it would seem that instead of contributing to the destruction of the American economy and the world environment, he might want to contribute to growing the markets of the future... Hahahaha,! What am I saying? Trump knows only how to tear down, he hasn't a clue how to actually build something real.
"Senator Chuck Grassley discusses with John Solomon his efforts to rein in activist federal judges who issue national injunctions, affecting the entire country rather than just their district. He highlighted the issue of judges taking free junkets, which can influence their decisions. Grassley also addresses the Biden administration's mishandling of unaccompanied minors at the border, noting that 200,000 children were lost track of, and some were sent to families connected to MS-13. He emphasizes the need for bipartisan support to address these issues and praised the new FBI director for addressing unanswered oversight letters. Senator Grassley also advocates for the reinstatement of whistleblowers who lost their jobs for exposing wrongdoing."

Don't miss out. John Solomon is one of the few remaining investigative journalists.
Grassley isn't going to get the bipartisan support. Too many Democrats are complicit with the number of illegals and violent gangs running rampant in the country, the lost unaccompanied children.
Correct. It is just a waste of time.
The SCOTUS must stop it!
Thats been a fucking lie since he first declared it in 2007.
Let's face the truth, if your conspiracy theories are so bad that Fox Entertainment has to fire you, you probably suck at investigative journalism.
If you have to start your own website to promote your conspiracy theories and get labeled as such by every fact checking service regardless of political leaning, then you are nothing more than a snake oil salesman living off of the easy marks.
Time to go out and survey the walking path.
Back in a few.
"good work comrade trumpski" - vlad putin
Why do so many on the left turn to violence?
It was a tourist.
C'mon.
To go with the left's "Mostly peaceful protests".

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem ordered the acting director of FEMA to undergo a polygraph examination last month as part of an aggressive internal investigation into leaks within the agency.
According to a Friday report from Politico, DHS confirmed that FEMA Acting Administrator Cameron Hamilton took the lie detector test on March 27 — just two days after a private meeting with Noem and Trump confidante Corey Lewandowski .
The meeting, which was held on March 25, focused on dramatically downsizing or potentially eliminating the Federal Emergency Management Agency altogether.
Details of the meeting were soon leaked, prompting a response from Noem.
Hamilton , a former Navy SEAL appointed by President Donald Trump to lead FEMA on an interim basis, agreed to the polygraph to determine whether he was behind the leak.
According to Politico, Hamilton passed the examination.
In a statement to the outlet, Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin said:
One person's traitor is another person's patriot.
Thanks for letting us know where you stand.
